Chapter 6 Sleeping in the same bed
"Thank you, Uncle Pang, for seeing me off." Huang Wan thanked Pang Jing for sending her home and invited her.

"If there is nothing else, please come in and rest for a while, and have a glass of water and wine before leaving."

Pang Jing declined and politely said to Huang Wan: "No need to say thank you. This is what the envoy ordered and it is my duty."

"I don't need any water or wine. There are a lot of things going on in the State Shepherd's Office recently, so I'll say goodbye."

"If that's the case, then we won't keep Uncle Pang anymore." Huang Wan was reasonable and didn't try to persuade him to stay. She stood in front of the Huang Mansion and watched Pang Jing leave. She didn't look back until Pang Jing's carriage turned the corner.

At this time, Huang Wan relaxed. She had been tense all day. Today, as usual, she was shopping in the Chengdu market. What was unusual was that she encountered Dongzhou soldiers teasing her, and then Yizhou Shepherd Liu Shijun stood up for her. , pile after pile, really made her a little tired.

At this moment, she had something to say and wanted to find someone to talk to. She turned her head and said to her personal maid Qing He who was holding Shu Brocade: "Qing He, people outside say that this new Commander Liu is weak, but when I met him today, I learned about the rumors. It’s empty.”

Qing He echoed: "Yes, there is nothing weak about this Commander Liu. On the contrary, he is full of heroism. There are few young masters in Chengdu who can compare with him."

"According to my maid, he is a rare and good young master. The rumors outside are all false."

"It's just that he gave me a piece of Shu brocade as a gift. I don't know what it means." Qing He said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, slightly raising the elegant Shu brocade in his hand to indicate.She and Huang Wan have been together since childhood. Although they are master and servant in status, they are actually like sisters. They have no scruples in talking to each other.

Huang Wan understood the meaning of Qing He's words. This piece of Shu brocade was just a piece of Shu brocade in a light way, but it was hard to say in a serious way.

The land of Shu was prosperous, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not suffer major wars, so the people of Shu developed luxurious customs.Weddings and funerals are all big things, even for poor families, and they have to do big things when borrowing money, for fear of showing their poverty to outsiders and being looked down upon.

The role of precious Shu brocade was revealed. In marriages, Shu brocade was often indispensable. Gradually, Shu brocade became a token of engagement in Shu.

This is why Huang Wan was very surprised when she saw Liu Zhang giving her Shu Brocade.

Qing He was saying that Liu Zhang was interested in Huang Wan and had thoughts.

Huang Wan shook her head: "Liu Shijun said that this is for apology, naturally there is no other meaning."

"There are so many things to choose from to make amends, why did you choose Shu brocade? This is the one that my wife likes."

Huang Wan was speechless, and she didn't know why. She was also wondering why she was given Shu Brocade instead of other things.

She saw Liu Zhang looking at her with clear eyes and no evil thoughts, indicating that Liu Shijun was not a lecherous person and had no intentions towards her.

She thought of a possibility.

"Maybe it's because Liu Shijun is not a local and doesn't understand the customs of Shu, so he gives whatever he sees as a gift, and there is no other meaning in it." Huang Wan didn't want to talk any more about this topic, so she started talking. topic.

"Although Ambassador Liu apologized to me, in fact it was Ambassador Liu who helped me today. When my brother comes back in a few days, I will have to trouble my brother to go to Ambassador Liu's house to say thank you."

Of course, you can't come empty-handed when saying thank you. Huang Wan asked Qing He, "Qing He, you said you need to bring some kind of thank you gift."

"My maid, I don't know. There should be nothing missing from Shijun Liu's house." Qing He shook his head to express his ignorance.

"Um……."

After pondering for a while, Huang Wan thought about it. The thing she thought of should satisfy Liu Zhang.
-
It's night time.

Liu Zhang and Gan Ning didn't drink much. Liu Yan had just passed away not long ago, so Liu Zhang couldn't let go and drank with Gan Ning. Therefore, apart from finishing the first three glasses, the two of them chatted and sipped the wine afterwards.After finishing drinking, the two of them were now lying on the same couch.

Liu Zhang was not comfortable with this custom of sleeping on the same bed. After all, his soul was that of a modern man, and it was very unusual for two men to sleep in the same bed in modern times.

However, the era he is living in now is the Han Dynasty, and sleeping on the same bed is very common. This is a way of expressing close friendship between brothers. Gradually, it has spread to friends. Sleeping on the same bed between friends represents the relationship between the two. The relationship is like that of brothers. The most classic thing is that the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang often sleep together.

The meaning of a certain behavior varies greatly with the times. Now Liu Zhang invited Gan Ning to sleep on the same bed, which shows that he treats Gan Ning as a brother. This is an extremely close relationship.

Compared with Liu Zhang, who was thinking a lot, Gan Ning's brain beside him was also spinning rapidly. There were too many things that happened today, and he needed to digest them.First, he rode with Liu Zhang, the state shepherd, and then he was loyal to Liu Zhang and was appointed as a school captain by Liu Zhang.

The last and most important thing was that Liu Zhang actually invited him to sleep with him on the same bed. This was a treatment that only brothers could have.

What happened today was so exciting that Gan Ning could not sleep peacefully. He felt as if he was in a dream, a dream that could be broken at the first glance, but when he turned his head, he could see Liu Zhang next to him. told him it was all true.

Gan Ning was educated, but he was still a knight-errant at heart. What he respected the most was that in order to avenge Zhi Boyao, he assassinated Zhao Xiangzi many times, even covered his body with paint to make himself unrecognizable, and swallowed charcoal to make his body Yu Rang's voice changed.

He looked at Liu Zhang, and a fire unique to this era burst out in his chest - a soldier would die for his confidant, and he would be loyal to the Ming Gong in front of him throughout his life.

Heaven and earth can be used as a guide, and there is no difference of heart. Gan Ning took the knight's oath.

"Xingba, but I can't sleep." Liu Zhang, who was trying to sleep with his eyes closed, saw Xingba staring straight at him from the corner of his eye, so he asked.

Gan Ning responded immediately: "Dear Lord Ming, there are too many things that happened today. Ning can't sleep at this time."

"If you can't sleep, let's have a chat." Liu Zhang didn't take it seriously. He was also a little excited about conquering Xingba today and found it difficult to fall asleep.

"Xingba, why don't you tell us about your time in Bajun? I have only heard about it, but I have never understood it in detail." Liu Zhang asked. He had read about Gan Ning's deeds in Bajun in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, but ancient texts pay attention to the essence. , not very detailed.

He wanted to know more about the story of this 'Jin Sail Thief'. It was a rare historical figure right in front of him. It was quite interesting to listen to the ancients talk about the past at night.

"Even if Ming Gong wants to know, Ning Zi should tell him." Gan Ning no longer wanted to hide his ridiculous deeds in Bajun. His Ming Gong wanted to know, and as a minister, he should tell everything.

"At that time, a certain talent was still very young."

"A certain person likes to raise a brocade sail on the Danqu River and hang a copper bell around his waist. He doesn't control the direction of the boat. He does whatever he wants."

"Wherever the ship floats to the shore, it will go ashore to find a wealthy family to eat and drink. If the owner of the other party receives him ceremoniously, he will be devoted to him. If he competes with him, he will let him know how powerful the Jinfan Ranger is."

The two chatted, with Gan Ning doing most of the talking. Occasionally Liu Zhang asked or expressed surprise.

It wasn't until early in the morning that they couldn't bear the sleepiness and finally fell asleep.
