Chapter 96

When Liu Tang mentioned drinking, Liu Jing felt a headache. Liu Tang was a man of his own accord. He never knew how to drink in moderation, and often ended up drunk.

Liu Jing is not a light drinker, but he doesn't like getting drunk very much. He thinks that a person who doesn't know how to limit his own desires will not be able to do much.Of course, this is just his personal opinion, and it may not apply to everyone, especially a talented person like Liu Yan.

The hall of Liu's house was sloppy and not enough to keep out the cold, so Liu Tang couldn't help but pull Liu Jing into his bedroom, so that the old servant in the family warmed up the wine, and he asked his younger brother Liu Ji to play the qin to help the wine.

Liu Ji was a filial person, so he immediately took out the violin, sat on the couch, and folded his hands gently and slowly.

Even though Liu Jing was not familiar with the piano skills, he knew that this piece was "Bo Yi Cao".Bo Yi was a native of the late Shang and early Zhou Dynasties. He and his elder brother surrendered to the country, held horses to remonstrate, and devoured Zhou millet in disgrace. He was called by Confucius: "The wise man of ancient times." The qin piece "Bo Yi Cao", together with the qin piece "Wen Wang Cao" composed by King Wen of Zhou, is also called "the rhyme of the past."

Liu Jing likes guqin very much in his heart. If it was a peaceful world, he would definitely work hard to study it. Unfortunately, it is a chaotic world now, and he has no extra energy to learn the piano.But he will definitely learn it in the future. Back in the Han Dynasty, wouldn’t it be a pity if he didn’t learn the piano?

After three rounds of wine, Liu Yan's interest gradually became high. He no longer obeyed the ceremony, and changed from sitting to lying down. In the end, he didn't even bother to pour the wine himself, and ordered his younger brother Liu Ji and the old servant to turn around.

Liu Jing looked at him and was speechless.

As the time gradually approached the afternoon, Liu Xuan was so drunk that he was unconscious, and was helped by Liu Ji and the old servant to bed together.

Even if Liu Jing repeatedly "stealed and played tricks", he could not help but get a little drunk. Seeing that Liu Yuan was very drunk, Liu Jing expected that he would probably not be able to get up, so he had to go to Du Xi's house alone.

When I came to Du Xi's house for the second time, I found that most of the vehicles outside the door had dispersed, leaving only three or four vehicles.Liu Jing's sleeves were swaying, and he walked leisurely. He drove all the way straight into the hall. Du Xi was talking with several guests. Seeing him strutting in, he was not surprised, and stood up with a smile to greet him.

"Zhongda, why are you only here now?"

Facing Du Xi's questioning, Liu Jing calmly replied: "I came in the morning, but the elder brother's house is full of guests, so I was afraid that I would not have time to entertain me, so I turned around and went to Liu Wenlang's house."

Du Xi didn't see Liu Yan's figure, so he didn't know, "Wen Lang is drunk again? - Come on, Zhong Da, I'll introduce you..."

Du Xi took Liu Jing's hand and introduced him to him. The guests who visited today included both Changsha natives and northerners who moved south to avoid chaos.

Liu Jing was prepared for this, he took out the famous thorn from his sleeve and exchanged greetings with everyone.

When the guests left one after another, Du Xi immediately led Liu Jing into the back room to meet his mother. The gift Liu Jing prepared for Du Xi's mother was not as good as Liu Ru's mother, but it was also called "precious".

Du Xi knew that he was wealthy now, so he didn't say anything.

Liu Jing drank a lot of wine at Liu Yan's house before, and he refused to drink Du Xi's invitation without thinking, and he was really drunk if he drank again.

Chatting with Du Xi until sunset, Liu Jing got up to say goodbye, and when he returned home, according to Liu He's reaction, there were 30 people who visited him today, and all of them came here in good spirits and returned disappointed.

In the next few days, Liu Jing sometimes went out to pay congratulations, and sometimes stayed at home to entertain guests. It was not until the fifth day of the first lunar month that he ended his vacation and returned to the market.

After the first day of the first day, the market returned to its deserted appearance, and it didn't get better until a few days around the fifteenth day of the first month.

The Lantern Festival originated from Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wen of Han ascended to the throne because of Zhou Bokan's quelling of the "Zhu Lu Rebellion". The day to quell the rebellion was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty would go out to the palace to play and play with him. People are happy.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the custom of offering sacrifices to Taiyishen gradually formed, often starting from dusk and continuing all night, very solemnly. "Historical Records: Music Book" contains: "The Han family often worships Taiyi Ganquan on the first month of the first lunar month, and worships at night at dusk until the dawn." The Han Dynasty implemented a curfew system, and only the fifteenth night of the first lunar month could not be restrained. "Han Book" contains: "Zhi Jinwu is forbidden to travel at night, only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month allows the ban to be lifted, which is called letting go at night."

In February, the market is still depressed, Liu Jing has nothing to do all day, but he is not lonely, because Du Xi comes to the market to chat with him almost every day.

The reason is that there is unfavorable news from the north. In December last year, Li Jue and Guo Si regretted letting the emperor return east. They joined forces with Zhang Ji and fought against Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, who were guarding the emperor's car. , Yang Feng was defeated, and the number of soldiers and officials died. The emperor was forced to cross the Yellow River and flee to Hedong County.

Compared with Du Xi's worry, Liu Jing's mentality is much better, because the emperor changed his name to "Jian'an" in the first month of this year, which is the first year of Jian'an (196 AD).A few months later, Cao Cao will lead his troops into Luoyang to escort him and move the capital to Xu County, Yingchuan County.

Henceforth, the Son of Heaven will be free from suffering, and for him now is the last darkness before dawn - or vice versa?

Soon Liu Jing couldn't even go back to the official house at night. As the news of Sun Ce crossing the river and returning to Jiangdong came one after another, Huan Yi also began to visit him frequently to discuss the situation in Yangzhou.

"Liu Zhengli, the shepherd of Yangzhou, has great talent and courage. It is said that his father was kidnapped by thieves when he was young, and he took it back, which is why he is famous. Since he entered Jiangdong, Liu Zhengli has defended himself by defending the river and fighting Yuan Gonggong for many years. Falling down, I didn't think about it, but I was defeated by Sun Bofu."

Speaking of this, Huan Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although he knew Sun Ce for a long time, he knew that he had great ambitions when he was young. He not only inherited his father Sun Jian's bravery, but also devoted himself to study and increase his wisdom, and he has a bright future.

Five years ago, when my elder brother was mourning Sun Jian, he had seen Sun Ce once. At that time, Sun Ce was only seventeen years old. His elder brother commented: "He has both civil and military skills, and his wisdom is extraordinary.

However, Huan Yi never imagined that Sun Ce would "become a blockbuster if you don't make a song." In the First World War, Liu Yao, the Yangzhou Mu, was beaten to the ground. It should be known that he is only 22 years old this year.Even if Geng Yan came back to life, it would be nothing more than that.

Liu Jing smiled and said: "Since Sun Bofu has crossed the river, he has been victorious in battle and conquered in attack, no one dares to fight against him, and the military order is strict, and there is no plundering, chickens and vegetables, no offenses, and the people of Jiangdong are willing to To serve him, he will get tens of thousands of people in ten days, and the six counties of Yangzhou will be shaken, and the momentum will be unparalleled for a while. - Once Liu Yao is defeated, Sun Bofu has no opponent, and Jiangdong will have it all."

Huan Yi thought it was too early to talk about this, and retorted: "There is an old saying: 'a centipede will not stiffen until death', Liu Zhengli is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he is also talented, although he was defeated by Sun Bofu. , but the hearts of the people have not been lost. With the help of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, and Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, it is not difficult to regroup. If Sun Bofu can't break the deadlock by then, he will be trapped on all sides."

Liu Jing did not argue with him, time will prove everything, and said with a smile: "President, let's wait and see.
