Chapter 56 Xie Liang (three thousand words)

Deng Yuan finished reading "Persuading Agriculture", listened to Zheng Dang's narration, combined with what he saw in the letter, and gradually sketched a handsome and handsome figure in his mind. Dazhi...

This is the best imagination for a young girl in Huaichun's future husband.

Deng Yuan couldn't help but wonder in her heart that such a near-perfect gentleman had nothing to do with the fiance she remembered.

In her memory, Liu Jing was a boy with a humble personality and mediocre talents. She was a little girl at the time, and he couldn't handle it properly, but only a few words made him restless and finally fled in embarrassment.

"What happened in the past two years? Did he have such an earth-shaking change? Is it because of me?" Apart from that, Deng Yuan couldn't think of any other reason.

"He must have been ashamed because he was inferior to me in knowledge at the beginning, and he has devoted himself to learning since then..." Deng Yuan thought he had discovered the truth of the matter, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Then she suddenly remembered something, and her cheeks flushed red. In the letter she wrote to him before, she exhorted the other party to study hard and not waste time.Now that the other party is famous for his virtue and talent in Changsha, his approach is completely superfluous.

"Will he be reading the letter while laughing at me in his heart?" Deng Yuan couldn't help worrying.

Deng You saw that her daughter's face was red and then white, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, as if her own treasure was about to be taken away by others.He picked up an unopened letter from the desk and handed it to his daughter, saying, "Young Master, this is a letter from Liu Zhongda to you."

Deng Yuan held the letter and hesitated for a while, but decided not to open it and went back to read it.

After coming out of the study room, Deng Yuan went around the wall of the corridor and returned to his Shaojun garden.

The maids have been looking forward to it for a long time, as Deng Yuan's personal servants, they are destined to marry with the girls in the future, so how could they not be curious.

Deng Yuan deliberately ignored them, and carried his skirt to the Sifang loft in the middle of the garden.

When she came to the top of the attic, she sat by the window. Since she was a child, she liked to eat desserts. While drinking honey syrup, she slowly opened the letter. It was the same as her father's. It was a letter and a poem.The difference is that the style of the calligraphy has changed greatly. Its characters are neither straight nor cursive, with beautiful stippling and smooth writing.

Deng Yuan prefers the chic and elegant style of calligraphy in front of him.

The name of the poem is "Stopping the Clouds", and it was written by Liu Jing specially for her. Deng Yuan read it out softly: "Stop the clouds in the mist, and it is raining. , Chun Miao alone caresses. Yiren is leisurely, scratching his head and standing there. …”

Deng Yuan had never been to Changsha, and she had heard that it was humid and rainy there, and the words "the mist stopped and the clouds stopped, and the rain was misty" made her feel like she was in the foggy and rainy south of the Yangtze River.

Then, with just a few words, a figure full of expectations of a beautiful woman from afar was depicted, and she wanted to go there in person, but there was no boat. ...

Deng Yuan is not a superficial woman who does not know poetry and books. She can see that this poem actually has two meanings. One is naturally caring and written for her. The world is written for myself, expressing grief and indignation.

Liu Jing is the eldest son of the Liu family. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, it is not surprising that he has such thoughts.

Deng Yuan appreciates his concern for the country, if he blindly indulges in romance, she will not be happy.

This poem is so well written!

Deng Yuan read it seven or eight times before reluctantly stopping, and turned to pick up the letter. The letter Liu Jing wrote to her was very different from the current style, and he didn't care about the neatness of the confrontation. , the text is plain but not lacking in warmth.

Liu Jing's letter was filled with three blank papers, a total of thousands of words, but after Deng Yuan finished reading it in one breath, he felt unfinished. This kind of way, like a friend's gossip, read very smoothly and pleasantly.

She was worried in vain before, and he not only didn't mean to joke about her words of persuasion in her letter, but instead expressed his gratitude again and again.He also said: young and eager to learn, like the sun in the sunrise; strong and eager to learn, like the light in the sun; old and eager to learn, like the bright light of a candle. "So the Duke of Jin Ping is seventy years old, and he still wants to learn, how can a young man not work hard?

At the same time, he also mentioned the marriage of the two. He said that he was going to work in Changsha County, but his status was still a bit low. In order to live up to the trust of the beautiful woman, he would definitely achieve success as soon as possible.

"Ah, I wish this day would come sooner..."

Deng Yuan couldn't help but feel ashamed of the thoughts in his heart, his cheeks blushed.

…………

Liu Jing didn't know what happened to Deng's family. After the rest, he returned to the city building. As time passed, it was widely known in the city that he arrested Wang Yin and others. In addition to reprimanding Zhou Wei, Liu Zong's slave, Liu Jing completely established his prestige.

The most intuitive feeling is that in the next period of time, the number of merchants who come to him for help every day has doubled, and it has become easier for him to solve problems. What he said is no different from the "decree" in the market today, and no one dares to offend. his majesty.

But not everyone is happy with such a change, and some people feel lost, such as Shi Xieliang.

Xie Liang has been working in the city building for more than ten years. He has always been diligent and hard-working. He never let up one day. As the actual manager of the city, he is quite well-known in the city. Unfortunately, everything changed after Liu Jing arrived. .

Nowadays, people in the market must call him "Liu Jun". Who still remembers who Xie Liang is?

He is not jealous of Liu Jing. The gap between the two is too big, making it difficult for him to feel jealous. He just feels lost because of the constant loss of power in his opponent.

Xie Liang stood in the hall of the city building, looking very preoccupied. At this time, a man dressed as a maid rushed straight to the building with his head sullen, and was stopped by the guard at the door. The maid looked anxious and shouted loudly: "The villain wants to see Jun Liu!"

Xie Liang walked over, motioned the guards to let the servants in, and asked, "What do you want to do with Liu Jun?"

The maid kept looking around and said anxiously, "Several barbarians from Jiaozhou deliberately made trouble after getting drunk. They not only smashed the liquor store, but also injured their master - the villain wants to see Liu Jun!"

Xie Liang pondered and said, "You don't have to ask Liu Jun for this matter, I'll just go with you."

"You?" The maid looked suspicious.

Xie Liang said with displeased expression: "What? I am the right historian of the city, and I am the same as Liu Jun."

The maid said bluntly: "There are seven people in Jiaozhou barbarians, all of them carry swords and are vicious and arrogant. It is better to ask Liu Jun to go there in person."

As soon as Xie Liang heard that the other party was crowded and difficult to deal with, he immediately felt a little timid in his heart.He turned his head, his eyes stopped on a tall city clerk with unruly eyebrows, and asked him, "Ma clerk, can Liu Jun be in the room?"

Ma Zhou has been injured in the official house for ten days. Today is the first day he came to work in the city building. He has not arranged anything and is doing nothing. Hearing Xie Liang's question, he replied: "Liu Jun just went out and didn't say anything. where to go."

Xie Liang's brows furrowed together when he heard the words.

The maid was sweating profusely: "What to do, what to do..."

Xie Liang shouted: "Why are you panicking? Couldn't things be done without Liu Jun? I'll go with you."

"Okay." The maid nodded helplessly, since Liu Jun was not here, he could only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Xie Liang was not a reckless person either, he left a few city officials to maintain the operation of the city building, and he took away the rest of the dozen or so people.

Naturally, it also included Ma Zhou, a fierce man who could fight ten against one. Although his arm injury was not healed, it was not too bad.

Xie Liang led all the officials to advance through the dense crowd, and when passers-by saw them, they all avoided them spontaneously.

All the way to the wine shop, Xie Liang saw a mess, the ground was full of broken pieces of wine urns, there was almost no place to go, the wine was soaking the ground, the aroma of the wine filled the air, the owner of the wine shop and the maid were lying on the ground with bruised noses. Constantly moaning and screaming.

The seven rioters from Jiaozhou wore the same clothes as Changsha people. They stood crookedly, their faces were flushed, and they seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol.

At this time, the head of the pavilion wearing a red robe also hurried over with his subordinates. When he saw that Xie Liang was the leader of the city clerk, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

After the two met the ceremony, the pavilion asked for instructions: "Xie Shi, are you arrested?"

Xie Liang said: "These people got drunk and destroyed property, and injured many people, they should be arrested."

Chief Ting then looked at Ma Zhou and asked, "Is the injury to my arm under my foot healed?"

Ma Zhou nodded and said, "It's all right."

"Together?"

"it is good."

Ma Zhou didn't shirk the invitation from the head of the pavilion, and the two led their officials and soldiers to surround them.

The head of the pavilion held a sword and shield and shouted loudly: "You have violated the law by destroying property and injuring people. Quickly plead guilty on your knees! If you dare to resist, the crime will be aggravated!"

Some of the seven Jiaozhou people scolded, some admitted their mistakes, and one was so drunk that he lost consciousness, leaning on his companion and sleeping soundly.

They were already quite drunk and had no strength to resist at all. Ma Zhou, the pavilion chief and others rushed forward and subdued them all.

Things went smoothly unexpectedly, before Xie Liang breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a person from Jiaozhou yelling: "We are guests of Uncle Qu Yuan, you should let us go soon..."

Xie Liang's heart suddenly "squeaked", and the pavilion chief also let go of his hand subconsciously and looked at Xie Liang, and the rest of the officials also looked at him.

Xie Liang complained secretly, under the watchful eyes of the public, there was no room for maneuver, he dared not offend Ou Xiong, did he dare to offend the public?

If he didn't arrest them today, the owner of the restaurant would dare to go to the county mansion to beat the drums tomorrow to complain about his grievances. At that time, he would definitely not be able to walk around, and at the very least, he would lose his job and return home.

Even if the owner of the tavern chooses to settle down, his reputation will definitely be stinky.

After all, Liu Jing was all to blame for this matter. Why did he leave the city building today?If he was here, why would he let himself be the first bird.

"Xie Shi..." the pavilion chief shouted.

Xie Liang bit his head and said, "Put them in the city prison."

"No." The pavilion chief gave Xie Liang a sympathetic look.
