Chapter 77

Seriously, he is capable and upholds integrity, but he does not know how to "be a human being".

Obviously, he himself is very aware of this, but even though he is poor, he is still proud, and he is unwilling to condescend to himself and cater to others. In this way, Liu Jing's insight and knowledge are very precious.

The seriousness was moved to tears by Liu Jing, he has always been calm, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel the impulse of "a scholar should die for his confidant".

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Bo Mu is really a man of temperament."

Seriously and consciously impolite, he hastily covered his face with his sleeves, wiped away his tears, and said: "Thinking about my own experience, there have been many hardships, and now I have finally come to the end of all hardships, and I can't help myself for a while, I hope Liu Jun will not blame him."

Liu Jing shook his head, and waited until his serious mood calmed down, then asked curiously: "Bo Mu, you are a city warden, with a monthly salary of hundreds of dollars, and two stones of rice, how can you be covered with wormwood at night?"

Seriously hesitating for a moment, he replied: "To be honest with Mr. Liu, my father passed away early, and my mother worked so hard to bring me up. In recent years, my mother has been sick, and my monthly salary is not enough for my mother's medical expenses. Every time the salary comes, I will save part of the rice for my mother to make porridge, and sell the rest in the market, and I will eat wheat and beans to satisfy my hunger on weekdays." He never said this to outsiders, but today he is grateful for Liu Jing's kindness and support, so he said it truthfully out.

Liu Jing was very emotional when he heard this, and said: "The world is so great, there is nothing too filial. At that time, Qi Xiang Tian Ji refused to accept a hundred gold bribes from the officials, but the officials persuaded him to give the money to his mother. Tian Ji never refused. Facing the difficult situation of mother's sickness, most people would feel at ease to accept money, but it is really rare for Bo Muyou to stick to his integrity."

Seriously, he said: "The "Book of Songs" has a saying: "The gentleman is here, and he is not eating." My mother often lies on the sick bed and teaches me: "It is not my son who collects ill-gotten wealth." I dare not violate it. "

Liu Jing couldn't help sighing: "Ling's mother, like Tian Ji's mother, is an honest and upright virtuous mother, which is admirable." Tian Ji's mother doesn't want her son to embezzle ill-gotten gains. the same.

Look at other people's mothers, and then think about my stepmother, Mrs. Zhang...

A smile couldn't help showing on his serious face. He was a dutiful son. Liu Jing was a hundred times happier when he compared his mother with Qi Xiang Tianji's mother than when he praised him.

Liu Jing said again: "Shizuo Shi is a fighting food official. He receives three hu and six buckets of rice every month. Compared with the city jailer, he pays nearly twice as much and has hundreds of dollars more money. Maybe it can relieve Bomu's embarrassment."

What Liu Jing said was true, and if nothing else, at least he would no longer have to eat wheat, beans and other coarse rice every day after he became serious.As for the quilt, there is no rush, anyway, there are still several months before winter.He bowed solemnly: "I will do my best in the next day to repay Mr. Liu for supporting me today."

"That's my heart." Liu Jing said with a smile, "Bo Mu, your appointment will be issued tomorrow, and you can come directly to Shilou to take up the post tomorrow."

Serious and glad to accept the order, he wished to take office now, the city prison has nothing worthy of his nostalgia.

Liu Jing nodded, and then recruited Xie Liang into the prison room to meet seriously.Liu Jing said to the two assistants: "Since July, it has been cloudy and rainy, and the weather has been rare these two days. Tomorrow, I will take a rest and go home to dry the scriptures. Thank you Shi, Yan Shi will be handed over to you tomorrow, take him You are more familiar with the situation of the city building.”

Xie Liang nodded and said "No".

Finally, he left seriously holding Liu Jing's handwriting.

Calling Liu Zhu in, Liu Jing took out a bunch of money from the bamboo box and handed it to him, and said: "Wenxiu, go to the market to buy a pair of thick quilts, and send them to Yan Zuo Shishe after the value is paid. If Zuo Shi doesn't accept it, you should know how to do it." Since he wants to buy people's hearts, he might as well help him to the end, anyway, with his current wealth, he is not short of this little money.

Liu Jing said again: "The rest of the money is for Zijin to buy wine." Ma Zhou is an alcoholic, and his salary is often not enough. Recently, Liu Jing has been paying for him.

"No." Liu Zhu took the order and left.When he returned, it was already closing time.

Liu Jing explained a few more words to Xie Liang, then walked out of the market building with a bamboo hat, and came to a simple barn on the side.

"Liu Jun..." Ma Zhou, with messy eyebrows and an unruly face, has a very gentle face at this moment, and he keeps stroking a six-foot-one-inch tall, fiery red horse beside him. It is the Beidi good horse, which is extremely rare in Changsha, and even if you have money, you can't buy it.

This horse was originally the favorite horse of the clan brother Liu Zong. Liu Jing introduced him a profitable business. Liu Zong had to express it. He saw that Liu Jing had a hard time walking to and from the official house every day, so he returned home after taking a rest It was also inconvenient, so I gave him my beloved horse.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "You circle around Chiji every day, and it will bother you if you don't bother it."

Chiji is one of the eight horses used by King Mu of Zhou to drive a horse. It is said that it can travel thousands of miles a day. This horse is also quite a steed, so it is named Chiji.

While stroking Chiji, Ma Zhou sighed and said, "Liu Jun, when will I have such a good horse?"

Liu Jing asked: "There is no such a good horse for now, do you want a Nanzhong horse?"

Ma Zhouyi glanced at the other side with a disgusted look at the small black pony, who was no more than five feet tall, with a naive look, and shook his head repeatedly: "This is a boy's horse. A man will definitely be ridiculed if he rides on this horse. I don't want it."

Liu Jing smiled and retorted: "Nanzhong, Jiaozhou, and even Jingnan are mostly this kind of horse. Could it be that the riders on it are not real men?"

"This..." Ma Zhou looked at the pony and then at Chi Ji, it was like Dong Shi and Xi Shi standing together, the contrast was too obvious.

Liu Jing ignored Ma Zhou's entanglements, walked into the stable, and said, "I'll take a rest tomorrow, Xie Liang's prestige is not enough, it's hard to scare the young people in the city, please help me take a look."

Ma Zhou said disapprovingly, "Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that Liu Jun supervises the market, so who dares to act presumptuously in the market? Could it be that he is tired of work?"

"Be careful, there is no big mistake." After finishing speaking, Liu Jing put on the bamboo hat and leaped onto Chiji's back skillfully. Because Chiji had been castrated, his temperament was very docile. He had been riding for almost a month, and the two sides had initially established a relationship. There is a tacit understanding.Then he untied the pony's rope and tied it with the red horse's rein.

This pony was given to his younger brother Liu He. When Liu He saw him riding a red steed the last time he came home, he was very envious and entangled him for a long time.Liu Jing was not short of money, so he bought a Nanzhong pony for him when he went back this time. This horse was too short for Ma Zhou, but it was just right for Liu He, who was only 11 years old.

Liu Jing drove the two horses out of Dongshimen, across Linxiang, galloped into the countryside, and went straight to Liushiwu in Longqiu.
