Chapter 43

Liu Jing did not comment on Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the end, but kept his mouth shut. Instead, he explained his attitude. You must know that the princes in the world have been "scolded" by him again and again. Only Cao and Liu "survived". Obviously they In Liu Jing's heart, he is different from others.

Zhuge Liang and the others were very curious about what Liu Jing was thinking, but since he didn't want to say it, they didn't break the casserole's mind to ask the question to the end. It was just a joke of Liu Jing after drinking. Everyone laughed and laughed. Why take it too seriously? Woolen cloth.

This banquet was drunk for a whole afternoon, and it was not over until the market closed.

Whether it is Liu Jing, or Du Xi, Huan Yi, and Zhuge Liang, they are all people with strong self-control.

Only Liu Yu was addicted to alcohol and didn't know how to control it. Fortunately, his wine quality was still good, and he didn't make any noise. He fell asleep on the desk and fell asleep.When everyone was about to leave, he woke up and his mind had recovered.

Because Du Xi and Huan Yi both came by ox cart, Liu Jing asked the former to send Zhuge Liang and Liu Yuan home, while he himself took Huan Yi's cart back to the official residence.

Du Xi nodded, even if Liu Jing didn't say that he would do it.

Saying goodbye to Du Xi, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Yu in front of the wine shop, Liu Jing boarded Huan Yi's ox cart and sat opposite him.

The sound of the rumbling car, moving forward slowly, Huan Yi's face was a little drunk, thinking that Du Xi, Liu Yu, and Zhuge Liang were all from the north, he couldn't help breathing out a long mouthful of alcohol, and said with Liu Jing: "Zhongda, the north There are so many talented people!"

Liu Jing smiled and said: "There are many talented people in the north, but outstanding people like Eldest Brother, Liu Wenlang, and Zhuge Kongming stand out from the crowd even in their own hometown. The reason why they gathered in Changsha is because the world is in chaos. , moved to the south to avoid disaster, brother Huan must not know this."

"What Zhongda said makes sense." Huan Yi nodded, agreed with his words, and then praised: "Fortunately, although Changsha has a lot of quality and little literature, Zhongda came out, and Beishi is not allowed to specialize in beauty."

Liu Jing smiled and shook his head: "When it comes to celebrities in Changsha, it is natural that Gongcao (Huan Jie) and five sense organs (Liu Pan) are the leaders, followed by Brother Huan, and it is impossible to be next."

"What kind of celebrity am I?" Huan Yi couldn't help laughing at himself.His elder brother, Huan Jie, is a loyal man praised by the whole world, and Liu Pan was once appointed by Situ Huangwan as a celebrity in Changsha. Compared with them, Huan Yi can only be regarded as talented, and the gap is too great .

Liu Jing said with relief: "Brother Huan is so talented that he will be known to the world sooner or later."

"Then it's time for Zhongda's auspicious words." Huan Yi said with a wry smile, will there really be that day?

…………

After the rest, Liu Jing returned to the city building and found that Xie Liang was still working hard on duty. Even if he disagreed with this workaholic who completely ignored his family and devoted himself to his career, Liu Jing had to say "convince" Character.

Huang Qiu was also the same, he arrived at the market building drunk halfway through the meal, half an hour later than the stipulated time, he didn't even bother to talk, he went into the living room, snoring loudly after a while, the voice It was so loud that Liu Jing could hear it on the second floor.

After Huang Qiu's arrival, the city officials who were starving to death could finally have breakfast in peace.

Liu Jing took advantage of this leisure time to go to the handicraft industry area in the north of the city, and went straight to a carpenter named Lou to pick up the dove cart custom-made for his nephew Hutou.

The dove car is a car toy made with the turtledove as a reference. If it is pulled strongly, the tail will be raised, and if it is slowed down, the tail will rub the ground. It is just imitating the different forms of the dove when it flies and walks. Take pleasure in owning a dove car.

As for why it is the image of the dove, the dove belongs to the auspicious bird and was regarded as a divine bird in ancient times.Mao's "Zuo Zhuan" said: Doves raise their sons, from top to bottom in the morning, and from bottom to top in the evening, the average is the same. "The ancients made toys with doves as the prototype, implying that the elders take care of the young.

The craftsmanship of the building craftsman is good, and Liu Jing is very satisfied with the lifelike carving of wooden doves.Of course, it is definitely incomparable to the dove chariots made by rich and powerful families who spend a lot of money. You get what you pay for. The wealthy and wealthy dove chariots are made of copper, with four wheels underneath. The head of the car is carved into a phoenix, and there is a streamer on the back of the car , drag it up, like a phoenix flying, it is really beautiful.

In addition to Jiuche, Liu Jing also commissioned a carpenter named Lou to make some toothbrushes for him, but I don't know if they are suitable for use.

"This is a toothbrush made according to Liu Jun's request..."

The building craftsman handed Liu Jing three rather rough toothbrushes made of bone. The handles of the toothbrushes were not known to be animal bones. They were as wide as two fingers, but the bristles were neat and dense. above expectations.

While playing with the toothbrush, Liu Jing boasted: "The craftsmanship is really exquisite."

The building builder shook his head and said: "The villain is old and dim-sighted, so he can't do such delicate things. This is what children do." After speaking, he turned around and called out: "Aban, come here."

As soon as the words fell, a young man in his early 20s, dressed in straw shoes, walked out of the room. He was less than seven feet tall.

"Villain Lou Ban, I pay my respects to Liu Jun." Lou Ban raised the hem of his clothes and obediently bowed down.

"Your craftsmanship is very good." Liu Jing helped him up and asked, "What kind of hair is this toothbrush made of?"

Lou Ban replied: "The soft ones are pig hairs, and the hard ones are bristles. Horse bristles are also very suitable, but the price is too expensive, and the villain dare not make decisions without authorization."

"Not bad, not bad..." Liu Jing nodded repeatedly.

Lou Ban smiled shyly, he really put a lot of thought into these three toothbrushes.

Liu Jing and the builder settled the final payment and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a fierce quarrel not far away from a fur shop.

There are disputes between vendors and customers in the market every day, which is not worthy of special attention. However, what Liu Jing saw was a little different. The customers were all Jingman with haircut in a bun. They wore colorful clothes, carried bows, crossbows and swords, and had hideous faces. , with a rough temperament, kept yelling at the vendors.

Jingman claimed to be the descendant of Panhu. According to legend, Panhu had made great contributions to the Gao Xin family, so he was honored as the emperor's daughter.

Jingman used this as an excuse to claim that his father had meritorious service and that after the emperor's daughter, he refused to pay taxes to the Han court.The idea of ​​the Han court is "Under the Putian, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers." After a long time, how could conflicts not break out.

Not counting before the Han Dynasty, in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty alone, there have been more than [-] battles between the Han and Barbarians recorded in the history books. On average, there is one battle in less than two years. The frequency is so high that it is staggering.

Fortunately, in recent years, with the gradual decline of Wuling (Wuxi) Man, the main force of Jing Man, the counties of Jingzhou, especially the four counties of Jingnan, finally had a few years of peaceful life.

Liu Jing was very surprised to be able to see Jingman in Linxiang City. Just like the Han people did not want to approach the Jingman village, Jingman also did not want to approach the Han city. After all, the two sides have fought for hundreds of years and accumulated a deep relationship. Enmity, going to the opponent's territory is no different from entering the dragon's pond and tiger's den.

"These Jing Man are so daring..." Liu Jing walked over curiously.
