Liu Mingzhi sighed sadly and glanced towards the north: "The foreign country I mentioned was a foreign country that had not yet unified the world and had constant disputes among the Three Kingdoms.
Looking around now, everything is my Dalong territory, so there is no such thing as a foreign land.
Although they were buried in a foreign land that was not their hometown, the brothers should be able to rest in peace when they see the territory they conquered by sacrificing their lives for the country.
So, dear sister, you have never been hungry, so you don’t know how precious food is.
It’s not just me, let’s talk about when I was the governor of the two northern provinces.
When the former Duke of Wu, Wan Buhai, was ordered to regain Heshuo and lose the land in Hetao.
Because of the heavy rains that have continued for several months, it was difficult for the court to maintain its supply of food and grass!
In order to leave an extra bite of food for the healthy Pao Ze, tens of thousands of wounded soldiers called on themselves to commit suicide and launched a suicidal attack on the enemy.
Half a day, not even half a day.
Just to save one mouthful of food, tens of thousands of people died under the enemy's cavalry.
Don't they want to live?
Don’t you want to go back to your hometown alive to see your parents, your wife and your children again?
They think more than anyone else.
But for the sake of the overall situation and for the sake of justice, they can only do this.
For me, there is no difference whether it is delicacies from mountains and seas or simple meals.
As long as it can fill your stomach.
Because there are still many people in the world who may not have enough to eat!"
"I...am I too pampered in your eyes?"
"No no!
My little brother is just expressing his feelings.
Although the soldiers of the Northern Border Army and the combat comrades from Tsarist Russia and the former Western Turks did not come to the battlefield in person this time.
But before my eyes, I could immediately imagine what the frontier soldiers looked like now.
In the icy and snowy wilderness, while killing the enemy and making achievements, he protected his family and country with a mouthful of dry food and a mouthful of snow.
As for the hot tofu pudding we just drank, they couldn't even think about it.
What is the status of the king of a country and what is not?
There are them who are on the front lines, sacrificing their lives and blood for the imperial court.
Who am I to waste a grain of grain?"
Tao Ying looked at Young Master Liu blankly, and she suddenly felt that the man next to her was not so hateful.
Not only did her husband die because of him, but her innocence was stained several times by him.
Obviously she should hate him to the core, but looking at his current state, she can't resent him no matter what.
"We're here, dear sister, the lounge chair is still yours, it's time for me to pick up the guests!"
"Bah, why are the words coming out of your mouth so ugly? Are you accepting customers? Someone has to pay for it!"
"Hey, good sister, don't you agree with me?"
"you!"
Liu Song held a hot briquette with the tongs in his hand and ran towards the shack of the fortune-telling stall. Looking at the two people bickering in the shack as usual, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Master, Sister Tao, you are here, I will put the briquettes on for you."
When Tao Ying saw Liu Song coming, her expression became serious and she nodded warmly to Liu Song.
"Xiaosong, I'm troubling you again!"
"Hi! Sister Tao, you are out of sight now, aren't you? You are the young master's distinguished guest, and Xiao Song is doing all these things within his own right."
"Liu Song, has the tea been boiled over there? Bring me a pot first!"
"Okay, I'll change the briquettes into smaller ones and send them to you."
"Yeah! By the way, how many books were sold today?"
"Seven copies have been sold, and they are all regular customers.
Just... just..."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Song glanced at Pretty Woman with an embarrassed expression, then whispered in Young Master Liu's ear: "Customers are beginning to urge you to publish follow-up content!
During the days when you were not here, those old customers were eager to come three or four times a day to see if you had printed out the follow-up content of the dozen or so books.
If we don’t come out, those young masters will probably come and destroy the stall.”
"Hiss... I have been so busy during this period that I really forgot about these things!
You go to the restaurant later to get a set of four treasures for the study. Young master, while I wait for the guests to come, I write the classics handed down from generation to generation."
"Yes, yes! The little one will go right away!"
"Why are you so excited? Are you so stupid that you stay up all night reading with those books again?"
"Young Master, I am wronged. Xiaosong is a reader of "Spring and Autumn"!"
"Fart, look at your kidney-deficient look, you read bullshit "Spring and Autumn""
"I'd better prepare some tea for you!"
After a cup of tea, everything was ready, and Young Master Liu began to spend another day killing time.
Tao Ying was lying on the recliner, looking at Mr. Liu who was studying ink and preparing to write a book. Her thoughts were wandering to nowhere.
I don’t know how long it took, but Tao Ying sighed silently and opened her lips lightly at Young Master Liu’s back!
"Hello!"
Young Master Liu was about to write down the contents of the classic book handed down from ancient times, and then hand it over to Liu Song for his servants to print it out with movable type printing. When he heard Tao Ying's words, he subconsciously turned around and looked.
"Hmm? My dear sister, what can I do for you?"
The index fingers of Tao Ying's hands hidden under Bi Luo's sleeves were just intertwined, and she said hesitantly: "All the money you earn from fortune telling these days has to be given to me."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Tao Ying jokingly: "Hey, are you planning to become your little brother's housekeeper so soon?"
"Bah, you dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth. I just like a hairpin and don't have the money to buy it!"
My birthday is coming soon, I want to buy it as a gift on my birthday!"
"Hey, how much does it cost? I'll give it to you now.
Not to mention a hairpin, even if it’s all the jewelry in the palace’s treasury, you can take whatever you like without any problem!”
After Master Liu finished speaking, he took out a fifty-tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the pretty girl.
Tao Ying'e frowned and looked at the banknote handed over by Young Master Liu, but she still didn't take it.
"Isn't it enough?
Hi, yes, your previous status was extraordinary, and you couldn’t even look down on ordinary hairpins.
I’ll get some more for you, dear sister!”
Seeing Young Master Liu's big hand reaching for his arms again, Tao Ying suddenly stood up from the recliner: "I don't want your money.
I just want you to make money by fortune telling."
"How much money is that? Even if it's a hairpin worth two taels of silver, and a fortune telling for ten copper coins, I have to do it at least two hundred times to get enough.
By the time you save enough, your birthday will be long gone.
By the way, my dear sister, when is your birthday?"
"December twenty-fourth!"
"It's already November, and the hairpin you're interested in must not be ordinary. How can you do this in time?"
"I don't care, even if you can only earn one or two and a half of the silver, I will accept the hairpin worth only one or two and a half of the silver."
"Why do you have to..."
As Young Master Liu spoke, he touched Tao Ying's wide almond-shaped eyes and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, can't I make money? I can leave it to you as much as I make!"
As long as you are not too little, I will save money!"
Tao Ying rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with an angry look, and watched him arranging the brush with his fingertips, thinking for a long time with a hint of struggle in his almond-shaped eyes.
By the time the pretty girl came to her senses, Young Master Liu, who had no guests, was already crouching in front of the desk and writing furiously, rubbing his chin from time to time and letting out dirty laughs.
Seeing Young Master Liu's busy figure, Tao Ying straightened her clothes, walked to the door of the shack where she could escape the cold and heat, and stopped. She looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, waving their hands and shouting sweetly.
"I can tell the world's affairs with an iron mouth. I know my fortune and misfortune.
Everyone came to see it. If it doesn’t work, no money is needed.
With just ten cents, you can know your future marriage in advance!"
Young Master Liu was dumbfounded as he looked at the pretty lady standing in front of the hut, calling out the guests for him, and stood up with trembling lips.
"Tao Ying, are you okay?"
"Do you still remember the story you told me in your spare time?"
"Ah? What...what story?"
"You - just keep writing your misleading books. Why do you care about me?"
"But fortune-telling is a matter of mutual consent. If you help me attract customers like this, it seems that I am very incompetent!"
Besides, with you jumping up and down like this, I can’t calm down while writing a book!”
"I"
Tao Ying was silent for a while, then walked up behind Young Master Liu, blocked Young Master Liu's ears with two green-white jade fingers, and continued to shout sweetly outside the shed.
"I can tell the world's affairs with my iron mouth, and I know my fortune and misfortunes by myself.
Come and have a look, it only costs ten cents!"
Young Master Liu's expression froze, he raised his head and glanced at the pretty girl who seemed to be very happy, smiled bitterly, and continued to write while lying down at his desk.
In about a stick of incense, Mr. Liu had not finished writing a page when a figure walked into the shanty.
Looking at Young Master Liu and Tao Ying looking at each other, the envy in their eyes is self-evident.
Tao Ying looked excited and put down the fingers that blocked Young Master Liu's ears, raised her hand and gently patted Young Master Liu on the shoulder!
