Chapter 54 Deng You

While Liu Jing chatted with Liu Zong and Liu Cheng, Deng's prison slave Zheng Dang and his entourage guards traveled more than a thousand miles for more than ten days and finally returned to Xinye, Nanyang.

The Deng family lived ten miles north of Xinye Town. There were thousands of fertile and beautiful fields, and the [-]th spacious house. It was backed by mountains, and faced the river, ditches and ponds.Compared to him, the Ou clan is like a country turtle, and even the Liu clan in Longqiu is far inferior.

Since Zhongping, Nanyang County, the hometown of Emperor Guangwu, has suffered repeated military disasters. There are few days of peace. Shi is no exception.

Zheng Dang and his entourage passed through the gate of Wubao, and came to a huge building complex with houses lingering and affiliated, with high halls and pavilions. This is the home of his master, Deng You.

"I'm back at last!" Zheng Dang stood in front of the Deng family court, with tears in his eyes.

This trip to Changsha took more than a month to round-trip, and most of the time was spent on a cramped boat with turbid air. The taste of it was not enough for outsiders. He only saw three things with his own eyes. The person was seriously ill and died, and the guest died in a foreign country.

Moreover, Changsha is humid and rainy. Miasmas have always been rampant. No one knows whether they will contract the epidemic. It is no different from gambling.

He followed his master Deng You to Changsha ten years ago, but at that time he was young and strong, and his body was still able to bear it. Now that he is older and his body is poor, he feels that after all this tossing, he may have to live a few years less.

Deng's house is not only luxurious and beautiful, but also has exotic trees and grasses, which are not planted. The flowerbeds are like fields, which are very beautiful. Water pours into them, and the stones are mountains.

Deng You was in the study room, swiping his pen on a golden nanmu bookcase. He was copying the "Xiping Stone Classic" and "Spring and Autumn".

The characters written by him are both square and round, and the stippling and drawing are well-proportioned. It can be said to be impeccable. Without decades of hard work, it is impossible to reach this level.

Although Deng You is in his fifties this year, due to proper maintenance, he looks no more than forty. He is seven feet seven inches tall, with handsome facial features and unusual appearance. A beard that is two feet long and hangs on his chest. Prestige.

Deng You is both a famous scholar in Nanyang and a son of a noble family. He served as a servant for more than ten years. Among the servants, he was a close minister of the emperor. He was always on the side of the monarch.

Since the death of Emperor Ling, the court has been in turmoil. Eunuchs, relatives, and scholars all want to kill each other. They ignore the society and fight and fight until the warrior Dong Zhuo enters the capital, and the Guandong princes rise up to attack it. This officially opened the prelude to the chaos in the world.

Deng You saw that Hongnong was poisoned by Dong Zhuo, and the emperor was at risk.

Deng You has not many children, only two sons and one daughter. Both sons are ordinary people. Even in a peaceful world, they cannot achieve the position of [-] stone. If you have life worries, you can only stay by your side and take care of them.

The only thing that makes him happy is that he gave birth to a good daughter, and his daughter Deng Yuan has shown "uncommon things" since she was a child. She does not love female workers, but likes scriptures and historical books. The two older brothers were speechless and ashamed.

This year is only fifteen years old, and just in the age of 笄, he has grown to seven feet two inches tall, with a peerless beauty, crowned in Nanyang, just like... just like the second Queen Hexi.

If it weren't for the chaos in the world and a marriage contract, she would have the opportunity to enter the palace to compete for the queen's position.

Deng You is full of confidence in his daughter. He believes that with his daughter's origin, appearance and wisdom, as long as he enters the palace, he will definitely be able to defeat Qun Fang. .

Unfortunately, this is just a wish after all.

The daughter has the appearance of a queen, but she does not have the life of a queen, what can I do?

It is precisely because her daughter is so excellent that he regards her as a treasure and loves her alone, that Deng You will be entangled in her marriage.

In the dead of night, he often hated his jokes and couldn't sleep at night.

Liu Jing was smart and cute when he was a child, but unfortunately his friend Liu Shang died of illness when he was seven years old, and Liu Jing has since returned to his hometown Changsha.

It may be that Changsha despised the county, and he lacked the guidance of his elders, so he developed a cowardly and vulgar character. After he came to visit the year before and Deng You talked with him, he was greatly disappointed and displeased.

How can such a mean person be worthy of his own daughter?

Even so, Deng You didn't have any regrets in his heart.But in the next two years, Liu Jing didn't even come to the door once, and the many absurd things he committed in Xiangyang continued to be heard by Deng You.

Fighting swords, gambling, recruiting prostitutes... There is nothing he can't do, except that he doesn't like reading.

Deng You was so angry that he almost vomited blood and had trouble sleeping and eating. He didn't ask much of his son-in-law.

Family decline?If he can accept it, can he be mediocre?Can he accept it, with a mean character?He can accept it with his nose...

But the other party must not be a person who does not know how to make progress and is willing to degenerate. This is the bottom line!

"Zheng Dang has been away for more than a month, and it's almost time to come back..." Deng You stopped writing, looked at the clusters of green bamboo outside the window, and thought silently.

The next moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the study, followed by a very familiar voice: "Master, the villain is back..."

Seeing Zheng Dang's exhausted look on his face, Deng You put down his pen and said happily, "Just come back, just come back..."

Zheng Dang said: "I am worried about Lao master, and this trip will go well."

"How?" Deng You asked without end.

Zheng Dang knew what he was asking, and replied, "Liu Langjun is like two different people from the past two years. Now he is more than seven feet long and has a good demeanor. Even if he looks at the whole of Nanyang, few people can match him."

"Huh?!" Deng You looked at Zheng Dang with a look of surprise. If the other party was not a family slave who grew up with him, he almost thought that Zheng Dang had been bribed. "Is this true?"

"How dare a villain lie to his master." Then Zheng Dang talked about Liu Jing's "conservation of farms" and "rescue neighbors with books". "Persuading Agriculture" has been well received by scholars from both the north and the south. Now the masterpiece Changsha is about to be released...

Deng You was stunned for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.

who?Liu Jing?The famous Changsha? ...

This is really a fantasy!

Seeing the unacceptable appearance of the master, Zheng Dang laughed secretly. He was also startled by Liu Jing at the beginning, and he was not much better than the master.

"If the master doesn't believe it, there is a letter to prove it, and the master will know at a glance..." Zheng Dang said as he stepped forward and presented Liu Jingzhi's letter.

Deng You opened the letter suspiciously, and at first sight, the doubts in his heart disappeared in an instant.
