When Liu Yao mentioned drinking, Liu Jing felt a headache. Liu Yao was a reckless person and never knew how to control his drinking, so he often ended up getting drunk.

Liu Jing is a heavy drinker, but he dislikes getting drunk. He believes that a person who does not know how to limit his own desires will not achieve great results. Of course, this is just his personal opinion and may not apply to everyone, especially people like Liu Jing.

Such a talented person.

The living room of the Liu family was shabby and inadequate to keep out the cold, so Liu Yao couldn't help but pull Liu Jing into his dormitory, where he asked his old servant to warm the wine, and asked his younger brother Liu Ji to play the harp to help him enjoy the wine.

Liu Ji was a filial brother, so he immediately took out his harp and sat on the couch, clasping his hands lightly and twisting the music slowly. Then the sweet sound of the harp sounded, clear and translucent, surrounding the room, like the sound of wild geese.

Even though Liu Jing was not familiar with the piano, he still knew that this song was "Bo Yi Cao". Boyi was a native of the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. He surrendered the country to his brother, detained horses to remonstrate with enemies, and shamefully ate Zhou millet. Confucius called him: "the wise man of ancient times"

"Yes." Mencius called it: "The pure saint is also." The qin music "Bo Yi Cao" he composed, and the qin music "Wen Wang Cao" composed by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, are both called "the legacy of the pilgrimage".

Liu Jing likes the guqin very much in his heart. If it were a time of peace, he would definitely work hard and study it. Unfortunately, it is a time of chaos now. He currently has no extra energy to learn the guqin. But he will definitely learn it in the future. Back in the Han Dynasty, if not

Wouldn’t it be a pity to learn piano?

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yao's mood gradually became high. He stopped being formal 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 his old servant around.

Liu Jing looked on beside him and was speechless.

It was late afternoon, and as expected, Liu Gao got drunk again and fell unconscious. Liu Ji and his old servant helped him to bed together.

Even though Liu Jing repeatedly "sneaked and cheated", he could not help but get a little drunk. Seeing Liu Yao drunk, Liu Jing suspected that he would most likely not be able to get up, so he had to go to Du Xi's house alone.

The second time I came to Du Xi's house, I found that most of the cars outside the door had dispersed, leaving only three or four cars. Liu Jing's sleeves were swaying and he walked leisurely as he drove straight into the hall. Du Xi was talking to several guests when he saw him swaggering in.

, not surprised, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Zhongda, why did you come just now?"

Faced with Du Xi's question, Liu Jing calmly replied: "I came here in the morning, but the eldest brother's house was full of guests, and he was worried that he would not have time to entertain me, so he turned around and went to Liu Wenlang's house."

Du Xi didn't see Liu Yao, so he didn't know, "Is Wenlang drunk again? Come on, Zhongda, let me introduce you..."

Du Xi took Liu Jing's hand and introduced him. The guests visiting today include both Changsha locals and northerners who have moved south to escape the chaos. They all know Liu Zhongda very well.

Liu Jing was well prepared for this. He took out his famous thorn from his sleeve and exchanged greetings with everyone.

After the guests left one after another, Du Xi immediately led Liu Jing into the back room to pay homage to his mother. The gifts Liu Jing prepared for Du Xi's mother were not as valuable as those of Liu Ya's mother, but they were still considered "precious".

Du Xi knew that he now had a rich family, so he didn't say anything.

Liu Jing had drunk a lot of wine at Liu Yan's house before. When Du Xi invited him to drink, he refused without thinking. After drinking again, he became really drunk.

Chatting with Du Xi until sunset, Liu Jing got up to say goodbye and returned home. According to Liu He's reaction, there were twenty or thirty people who came to visit him today.

In the next few days, Liu Jing sometimes went out to congratulate him and sometimes entertained guests at home. It was not until the fifth day of the first lunar month that he returned to the market after his vacation.

After the first day of the first lunar month, the market returned to its deserted appearance, and it wasn't until a few days around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that things improved slightly.

The Lantern Festival originated from Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne because Zhou Bokan put down the "Zhu Lu Rebellion". The day when he put down the rebellion was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty would go out of the palace to play and have fun with each other.

The people enjoy together.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the custom of worshiping Taiyi God gradually formed, which often started at dusk and lasted all night long, which was extremely grand. "Historical Records·Yue Shu" records: "The Han family often worshiped Taiyi Ganquan in the first lunar month, and worshiped Taiyi Ganquan in the evening.

"The curfew system was implemented in the Han Dynasty, except on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month. "Hanshu" records: "I have forbidden people to travel at night, but only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the order allows the curfew to be relaxed, which is called night release."

Entering February, the market was still sluggish, and Liu Jing had nothing to do all day, but he was not lonely, because Du Xi came to the market almost every day to chat with him.

The reason is that there was unfavorable news from the north. In December last year, Li Jue and Guo Si regretted letting the emperor return to the east. They joined forces with Zhang Ji and fought with Dong Cheng and Yang Feng who were escorting the emperor's chariot in Hongnong Dongjian. Dong Cheng

, Yang Feng was defeated, countless soldiers and officials died, and the emperor was forced to cross the Yellow River and avoid Hedong County.

Compared with Du Xi's worries, Liu Jing's mentality is much better. The reason is that the emperor changed the first month of this year to "Jian'an", which is the first year of Jian'an (196 AD). In a few months, Cao Cao will lead his troops into

Luoyang escorted him and moved the capital to Xu County, Yingchuan County.

From now on, the emperor will be far away from suffering. For him, now is the last darkness before dawn or vice versa?

Soon Liu Jing had no time to spare even when he returned to the official's house at night. As news came one after another that Sun Ce had crossed the river to fight back to Jiangdong, Huan Yi also began to visit him frequently to discuss the situation in Yangzhou.

"Liu Zhengli, a herdsman in Yangzhou, was a talented and courageous man. It is said that when he was a boy, his father was kidnapped by thieves, and he compiled and returned it, which made him famous. Since taking control of Jiangdong, Liu Zhengli has drawn a river to defend himself, and has been at war with Yuan Gongli for many years.

I didn't expect that I would be defeated miserably at the hands of Sun Bofu."

Speaking of this, Huan Yi couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Although he had known Sun Ce for a long time, he knew that he had great ambitions when he was young. Not only did he inherit the bravery of his father Sun Jian, he could also devote himself to learning and increase his wisdom, and his future would be bright.

Five years ago, when his elder brother paid a funeral for Sun Jian, he met Sun Ce once. Sun Ce was only seventeen years old at that time. His elder brother commented on him: "He had both civil and military skills, extraordinary intelligence, and extraordinary bearing. He can no longer be regarded as an ordinary boy."

However, Huan Yi never expected that Sun Ce would "do nothing but make a blockbuster" and beat the Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Yao to pieces in a battle. It should be noted that he was only twenty-two years old this year. Even if Geng Yan was resurrected, he would not be able to do anything.

in this way.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Since Sun Bofu crossed the river, he will win every battle and conquer every attack. No one dares to compete with him. Moreover, the military order is strict and there is no plundering. The people of Jiangdong are willing to do anything."

After working for him to the death, tens of thousands of people were gathered in ten days, and the six counties of Yangzhou were powerful. Their momentum was unparalleled. Once Liu Yao was defeated, Sun Bofu had no opponent, and Jiangdong would be his."

Huan Yi thought it was too early to talk about this and retorted: "There is an old saying: 'A hundred-footed insect will not freeze until death.' Liu Zhengli is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and also has talents. Although he was defeated by Sun Bofu,

, but the people's hearts have not been lost. With the support of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, and Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, it will not be difficult to regroup. If Sun Bofu cannot break the deadlock by then, he will surely be surrounded by enemies on all sides."
