The great man will live forever

Chapter 15 The little maid is jealous
"Master is back?"

The voice was soft, that of a 12-year-old girl, neither tall nor short, full of childish vitality.

Her hair is as black as ink and is usually tied into two buns. When people look at it, they can't help but think of spring flowers, delicate and lively.

Her eyes are as bright as stars, sparkling with endless curiosity and joy, and her face is rosy and cute, like a little apple, full of healthy vitality.

The clothes are full of the charm of the Han Dynasty. She is wearing a simple pleated skirt with the hem above the knees, which looks neat and decent.

The top is a short cross-collar jacket, with graceful trim lines on the skirt, and flower-shaped silver buttons neatly arranged on the skirt, which is unique and delicate.

Wearing a light-colored embroidered gauze dress, it is light and breathable, making her little face rosy and cute.

The shoes are made of cloth, with delicate flower patterns embroidered on the uppers, making them as light as the wind when walking.

Although he still has the innocence of a child, he can already see the appearance of a little adult.

Seeing Liu Han coming back, she greeted him with a smile. There seemed to be little stars radiating light out of her eyes, which made people like him.

"Call the son!"

Before Liu Han could step forward, the maid threw herself into his arms.

"Yeah, be careful, why are you crying?"

He felt some moisture in his chest and heard a low sob.Liu Han held her face and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Taohong shook her head and smiled through her tears, "No, I'm just happy. I miss you so much."

She is Liu Han's favorite maid, and she is also Liu Han's only maid at present.

When Liu Han was ten years old, he met her at the age of six on the street. At that time, she sold herself to bury her father.

Selling oneself to a wealthy family may not be seen in later generations, but it was very common in ancient times.

In ancient times, productivity was low and not having enough to eat was common. In the so-called prosperous times, few people starved to death and everyone could barely eat enough.

In the event of natural or man-made disasters, drought, heavy snow, floods, hurricanes...or illness, ordinary families can only sell their children and daughters.

This is still a prosperous time. If it is a troubled time, people will be worse than dogs.

The majestic imperial power is surrounded by grass-roots people. The so-called grass-roots people are as humble as weeds.

Their names will not be left in the history books, but at most, there will be a drought in a certain place on a certain day in a certain month, or a war broke out in a certain place, and how many people died.

In the vast history, these people are just one of tens of millions. The more powerful ones can leave a line or two in the history books. They have surpassed too many people, and the ancients are just like us. Seconds flow by.

But their lives often only have a short line in history, and they are not even recorded. They can only disappear forever without anyone remembering them.

If Liu Han had not appeared, this maid might have been frozen to death on the street, or sold into a brothel, and then disappeared like a weed in the long river of history, without anyone remembering her.

Perhaps it was destiny or fate, but Liu Han bought her, and her fate was different, and she was forever connected with Liu Han.

From then on, he had a little maid. He named her Xiao Taohong and taught her how to read and write. He regarded her as his sister.

"Sir, are you tired? I'll boil the bath water for you."

"Are you hungry? I made something delicious for you."

12-year-old Xiao Taohong started to get busy. She was extremely diligent, but Liu Han often couldn't bear to let her be so busy, but she just wouldn't listen. She was easily satisfied. Sometimes she could be happy for several days just because of Liu Han's words. .

"No need to be busy. This is Ayi Mei, and she will live with us from now on. In two days, I will be looking for some maids and servants. Your son, I am now the general of the auxiliary country. I will find a bigger house." , I need some servants, otherwise I will be embarrassed."

At this time, Xiao Taohong noticed Ai Mei behind Liu Han.

"Her face?"

At this time, Ayimei's face was covered with acne, and she looked far less beautiful than before.

Xiao Taohong muttered to herself: "You are bigger than me in front, taller than me, and have fair skin. Young Master likes this? But there are acne on your face. Are you sick?"

"It's nothing, it will be fine in a few days."

Ayimei carefully looked at the little Taohong in front of her, she was also a rare beauty.

She thought Liu Han would have several servants and maids, but in the end there was only one.

"You don't have any other servants?"

"No, Xiao Taohong, go get some food for Ai Mei. He is probably hungry."

Liu Han gave instructions to the little maid, then pulled Ayimei into the room and took out a red medicine bottle.

"My fault, I shouldn't have applied barley flower juice to you." Liu Han poured out the white powder from the medicine bottle and gently applied it to Ai Mei.

"I'll do it myself."

"Don't move, I'll come."

Liu Han said apologetically: "I didn't expect His Majesty to summon you completely. If I saw you, I would probably be attracted by your beauty. I was probably selfish and wanted to take you for myself, so I did this. This medicine I bought it specially. After applying it, it should feel better in a few days."

It turned out that Liu Han was afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would see Ayi Mei's beauty and bring her into the harem as soon as she was young, so he smeared her with a juice called barley flower. This kind of juice is also quite weak and can cause skin allergies and cause skin irritation. Acne.

Ayimei shook her head and said, "You think too highly of me. Your majesty, your majesty, probably won't like a Hun woman."

"Just in case, who made me like you more? You are so beautiful."

"Are you Han people so direct?"

"Others don't care, but I am very direct. Life is only seventy years old. After ten years of ignorance and ten years of old age and weakness, there are only 50 years left. In these 50 years, half of the night must be removed, and there are only 25 years left. If you think about it again, eating, practicing martial arts, fighting, bathing and changing clothes, and running around will consume a lot of time...

After calculating this, how much time do those who really stay have to do the things they like and spend time with the people they like? "

Aimei smiled, "It's true what you said."

"Don't be too old to you Han people. Even if you are Han people, you still retain half of the blood of Han people. From now on, you are Han people, do you understand?"

Liu Han said and kissed her gently on the lips, and her whole body seemed to tremble.

"What are you afraid of, I won't eat you again."

"Young master, it's time to eat."

At this time, Xiao Taohong came in and coincidentally saw this scene. She seemed a little angry, but she did not have an attack.

I saw a few plates of food in her hands, including meat, some vegetables, and most importantly, rice, fragrant rice.

In Chang'an, it is not easy to eat these things. Liu Han, who was not hungry at first, suddenly became hungry. These days, he was almost tired of eating military rations, beef and mutton.

"Come on, eat!"

Liu Han held the bowl and asked the two of them to sit down. Ayimei was a little embarrassed. She probably had never seen what was in front of her.

"This is chicken, pheasant, which should be found on the grassland. This is domestic chicken, and this is eggplant, this is cucumber, this is spinach, many of them were brought over from Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, and this is Rice, the rice from the south, is the most delicious."

In his previous life, as a southerner, Liu Han couldn't live without rice. Unfortunately, even he couldn't eat rice every day in the Han Dynasty. This rice is much more expensive than meat.

Seeing Ayimei's doubts, Liu Han introduced it to her carefully and put something in her bowl as he spoke.

Ayimei imitated Liu Han and prepared to eat with chopsticks.

"Clap!"

She dropped her chopsticks, so she picked them up and imitated Liu Han's movements, but unfortunately she couldn't pick up the meat.

Since the Xiongnu had a prosperous animal husbandry industry, their food, clothing, housing, transportation, life, and production were all inseparable from livestock.

According to records, the Xiongnu "from the king down, salty animal meat", "the custom of the Xiongnu is to eat animal meat, drink its juice, and wear its skin."

The so-called meat, "Han Shu. Biography of the Xiongnu" Yan Shigu notes, "There is no rice or millet, only meat."The meat they eat includes not only the livestock they raise, but also the game they hunt.

"Historical Records. Biography of the Xiongnu" records that they "shoot birds and mice", "shoot foxes and rabbits" and "use them for food".

Their hunting industry is very developed. They usually make a living by "shooting birds and animals" while grazing.

I usually eat meat, cheese, and some wild vegetables. I basically cut the meat with a knife and eat it with my hands, and rarely use chopsticks.

"Let me teach you!"

Seeing her embarrassment, Liu Han stood up, held her hand, and whispered, "Hold the chopsticks with your right hand, pinch the top of the chopsticks with your thumb and index finger, and naturally bend the other three fingers to hold the chopsticks. In this way, then If this happens again..."

Liu Han taught her and put the eggplant into her mouth.

"Delicious, right?"

"Yeah!" Ayimei nodded and smiled extremely happily.

"This is the best I've ever had."

"Why can't she use such big chopsticks?" Xiao Taohong on the side was a little jealous.

"I am a Huns, a princess of the Huns. My mother was once a princess of a Han Dynasty, so of course she doesn't know how to use it. You teach her slowly. If there are others who don't understand, you teach her too. Don't bully her."

When Liu Han said this, Xiao Taohong burst into tears.

"What's wrong, don't cry. I don't want you to cry anymore."

They say women are made of water, and that’s not wrong at all.

"No, Xiao Taohong, don't cry anymore. Young Master, you must not leave my house. You are the only one in my house."

With that pitiful look, he was the only one she had, but so was he. Liu Han felt a little heartbroken.

"I won't, ever, ever want you, I swear."

"Well, the young master is the best, the best in the world." "My little Taohong is the best."

……

The meal was very enjoyable. Liu Han also talked about some things on the battlefield. Xiao Taohong looked admiring but also worried at the same time.

After eating, it’s time to wash up and go to bed.

"You help Ayi sister take a bath."

Liu Han gave instructions to Xiao Taohong.

The little girl pouted, "I want to help the young master wash him."

"I can wash it myself."

"Okay." The little girl was a little disappointed and took Aimei to wash up.

Xiao Taohong was very diligent, fetching water and preparing some simple toiletries.

"This is a bath bean, used for washing. I will teach my sister how to use it."

"Oh, it's the same as our washing grass. Its juice can also be used for washing. We often use it on the grassland, but we always wash it in the lake."

"Is my sister really the princess of the Huns?"

"My uncle is a Xiongnu Chanyu, and so am I, Aye."

"Oh." Xiao Taohong was a little disappointed. It seemed that she couldn't compare to this sister. She was a Hun princess, and she didn't have a place in the main palace.

"Sister, this place is really big, is it natural?"

Comparing it and looking at her chest, she felt like she didn't look like a woman.

Ayimei blushed, "You are still young. As you grow older, you will naturally get bigger."

The little girl sighed helplessly: "Okay."

It seemed that she had discovered something again. The little girl kept saying nothing surprising, "Sister, you are so white. What should I do?"

In an instant, Ayimei wanted to bury her head in the water. She hesitated and didn't know what to say.

……

Liu Han was a little tired. After washing himself, he lay down on the bed. He planned to find some maidservants. In fact, there were some people from the Prince's Palace before, but he sent them back later. Except for Xiao Taohong, he sometimes used to A person is a time traveler after all, so it is better to be a little more lonely.

"Crench!"

The door to his room opened, and Ayimei came in.

The hibiscus comes out of the clear water, and the carvings are naturally removed. Even though there are acne on her face, it doesn't seem to have much impact. Her graceful figure is very attractive.

"How did you come?"

"Don't you want me to sleep with you?"

She said it was reasonable, she knew her fate, but after getting along with each other these days, she seemed to feel that she was quite lucky, at least not exclusive.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Han smiled. He was a little moved, but he didn't want it to happen so soon. He wanted a sweet love.

What is the meaning of life?
Later generations of philosophers said: "The desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the unstoppable sympathy for human suffering. These three pure and extremely strong passions dominate my life. These three passions are like hurricanes." Just like that, in the deep sea of ​​suffering, it blew me back and forth wantonly, blowing me to the edge of despair."

He is longing for love now, or it is hard to say that there is no one who is not longing for love.

He knew that this might just be a hormonal impulse, but it did not prevent him from pursuing and exploring.

Maybe life is meaningless and love is vain, but no matter what, at least at this moment, he is happy.

Ayimei's face turned slightly red, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"Come here then."

Liu Han looked at her slowly walking over, stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her fiercely.

"You're shaking."

"No!" She was still tough, very tough.

Liu Han said softly: "It's okay, let's take it slow, the rest of our lives is so long."

"Didn't you say that life is short? To be more direct, life is only seventy years old. After ten years of ignorance and ten years of oldness and weakness, there are only 50 years left. In these 50 years, half of the night must be removed, and only 25 years are left. [-] years..."

Liu Han smiled, "My memory is good. Do you remember everything I said?"

Seeing her lowering her head and saying nothing, Liu Han continued: "Actually, I think you are willing to do it. I am really responsible and upright."

"Stand up again?"

Liu Han laughed at himself: "I used force and power to get you, but I want to get your heart. Isn't it too greedy?"

Ayimei said softly: "Actually...actually, it's nice to be with you."

Her voice was so small that if Liu Han hadn't listened carefully, he wouldn't have been able to hear it.

"That's good, it will be better in the future. Let's eat delicious food and have fun together. We will be happy every day and be together all the time."

Liu Han said some more words, mostly from him. She listened quietly. He hadn't confided in someone for a long time. Loneliness was normal, but he was too lonely. He always wanted to find someone.

He had Huo Qubing as his eldest brother, but this guy was either thinking about fighting or on the way to fight every day.

"Okay, it's already late. Go to sleep. I'll hold you."

"You really don't want to?"

"You just arrived in Chang'an. You should get used to it. You still have plenty of time."

"Thank you!"

Ayimei was covered with quilt, and her head was exposed.

She mustered up the courage to speak out: "Actually, I can do it."

After saying that, he buried his head in the quilt.

"I feel like you're tempting me."

Liu Han felt a little thirsty and was about to get on his horse and gallop away.

"Young master, are you asleep?"

Xiao Taohong's voice sounded outside the door.

Liu Han was a little angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only say helplessly: "Sleep."

"Liar, the lights didn't even go out."

"Going to sleep soon."

"I have something I want to tell you."

"Let's talk tomorrow. Go to bed first."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu is

Liu Han has one head and two heads. This maid is good at everything, hard-working, obedient, pretty, cute...

It's a pity that she loves to cry. Every time she cries, Liu Han has to surrender. Sometimes he really doubts that she is the master.

"No, just come in and talk."

Sin!

"Sister Ayi is here too."

She seemed to have expected it a long time ago, huh, even though she knew what she was asking, the little girl also had some cleverness and thoughts.

"What do you want to say?"

"Can I...can I be your concubine? I won't fight for anything, I won't rob anything, as long as I'm by your side."

Xiao Taohong didn't know how much courage she mustered up to say these words. After she finished speaking, her face turned red.

"Okay, as long as you are happy, we will be together forever, and I will marry you in a few years, is that okay?"

"Okay, let's go to bed then."

Xiao Taohong was very happy, she walked over and started...

"Wait a minute, you're still young, give it a few more years."

"Why can sister Ayi do it but I can't? What's wrong with her?"

Xiao Taohong said, her big eyes started to burst into tears again.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, I promise you."

……

In the end, Liu Han, with Aimei on his left and Xiao Taohong on his right, slowly fell asleep. They didn't catch anything and fell asleep.
