Liu Xin was not angry when faced with the young master's cynicism. She just said to him calmly: "Without investigation, you have no right to speak! Young master, to tell you the truth, this person is called Zhu Ying. I know him, but
I'm not a relative, so don't blame me for allowing my family members to do evil."
Zhu Ying became unhappy and shouted at the side: "Brother-in-law, you can't just wipe your butt and start cheating."
Liu Xin glared at him and yelled angrily: "Zhu Ying, tell me clearly when I cheated!"
Zhu Ying's face also darkened, and she said loudly: "Don't think that because you are a state shepherd, you can keep your word! We agreed to marry my sister in three years, but now we have only been able to live for one year, and you want to deny it."
!”
Liu Xin sneered and said: "Yes, I have an appointment with your sister for three years, but who can say what will happen in two years? However, it is wrong for you to bully others! There is always a first come first served in everything, and others have already
How can you use force when you're sitting here first! If you don't leave, I'll put you in jail!"
Zhu Ying was not convinced, and spoke louder: "I come to this place for lunch every day, but I came a little late today, and he beat me to it. I didn't use force, and was discussing with him.
Why don’t you pay to buy a seat with him?”
The young master snorted and said: "Is it important to have money? I won't give in, so what can you do? Do you want to wait for this adult to support you?"
Liu Xin's face was a little uneasy, and she yelled at Zhu Ying: "If you don't leave, half a year's salary will be deducted from this month! Also, look, who are the people you have made friends with? None of them are correct.
Shame! Your father sent you here, and I don’t have time to discipline you, but you should also take care of yourself, read more when you have nothing to do, and spend less time outside! What are you doing here? You can walk as far as you want.
Far!"
Zhu Ying still wanted to talk back, but a young man behind him quickly pulled him back, and then he went downstairs angrily.
Liu Xin turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Does he really come here to eat every day?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Sir, it's true. It's been almost a month."
Liu Xin was a little surprised. No matter how good the food in this hotel was, if she came here to eat every day, she would definitely get tired of it in less than a month. She couldn't help but ask: "What signature dishes in your store can attract people's attention?"
Do you have to come here every day?"
The shopkeeper said sheepishly: "My lord, the shop only has some home-cooked vegetables, plus a few jars of home-brewed rice wine, and there really isn't any special signature dish. However, Mr. Zhu just comes here to eat at noon every day.
, and I always want this private room, I know some of the reasons why."
Liu Xin became curious and forgot about her hunger, and said, "Since you know, just tell me and listen."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said: "After a while, a father and daughter will come downstairs to perform. The father plays the flute and the daughter sings. I wish the young master will always open the window and give some rewards. In the past month,
, rain or shine, every day.”
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "It turns out that this guy is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking! Okay, shopkeeper, you make some side dishes and boil a pot of wine, and I will make amends to this young man.
.”
As soon as the shopkeeper left, the young master felt a little uncomfortable. He cupped his hands towards Liu Xin and said, "Master Liu, what I said just now was very offending. I hope you can forgive me. I don't know who the blessing is."
The young master still has such elegant things, if he had told me earlier, I would have given him this private room."
Liu Xin saw that this young man spoke straightforwardly and was not afraid of the powerful, and he had a good impression of him. So he pulled up a chair and said, "Come on, little brother, let's sit down and chat slowly. Have you asked me your name?"
The young master laughed and said, "Brother Liu is such a noble man and forgets things so much. We haven't seen each other for a few years and you really can't remember my little brother?"
Liu Xin muttered: "As soon as I walked in, I thought you were kind-hearted, but I really can't remember. You are..."
The young master suddenly turned over and prostrated, kowtowed and said: "My younger brother Guo Jia would like to thank my elder brother for taking care of my mother over the years. Please accept my bow!"
Liu Xin was surprised and said: "You are Guo Jia! Six years have passed and you have grown into a big boy. No wonder I didn't recognize you. Get up, get up. When did you come to Xiangyang? Why don't you go to Zhoumu?
The government is looking for me?"
Guo Jia stood up and sat down next to Liu Xin, and said with a smile: "I didn't reveal my identity just now. I wanted to test the elder brother, and I hope he won't blame me. The elder brother is really fair and selfless, which makes the younger brother admire him. The younger brother also just came to Xiangyang, and my mother
I have the habit of taking a lunch break, so I was worried that going home at this time would disturb my mother’s rest, so I went to a hotel to have a drink and met my eldest brother unexpectedly. It was God’s will!”
At this time, the shopkeeper came in with a big wooden plate. Liu Xin waited for him to put down the food and wine, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, Liu was in a hurry and didn't take his money bag with him. Go find a soldier on the street and ask him to
He went to inform Mr. Ju that I was drinking in your shop and asked him to bring some money to redeem me."
Guo Jia hurriedly said: "What did you say, brother? I should treat you to this meal, how can I let you spend money on it?"
The shopkeeper had already knelt down on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "It is the shop's honor that you can come to the shop to eat. How dare you accept your money? I am bold and want to ask you to write some words for the shop."
"
Liu Xin said with a smile: "The money must be given, otherwise if the news spreads, others will say that I, Liu, am a tyrant, so that's okay. As for the handwriting I wrote, I can't show it. I'll ask my husband to do it someday."
Someone can write a plaque for you."
Guo Jia looked confused and couldn't figure out what kind of meal Overlord Dinner was? Who was Liu Xin's father-in-law? Could it be Zhu Ying's father just now?
Liu Xin picked up several chopsticks and stuffed vegetables into her mouth, and then said to Guo Jia: "Brother Guo, when you come back this time, do you want to continue your study tour?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. From now on, I will be more filial to my mother. I even named myself Fengxiao."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Yes, it was not easy for your mother to raise you. It's time to fulfill your filial piety. I am short of manpower here, are you willing to help me?"
Guo Jia poured himself a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said, "Big brother, if you have a job to do, I will never give up even if you die!"
Liu Xin noticed that in this moment, he had not eaten a bite of food, but had already drank three glasses of wine. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Fengxiao, you seem to like drinking very much. Although wine is good, it is not good.
Being greedy for alcohol, especially drinking on an empty stomach, is most harmful to the liver and spleen and stomach, so it’s better to stop drinking in moderation.”
Guo Jia said nonchalantly: "My eldest brother is not aware of this. My younger brother is traveling around the country and sometimes he will inevitably feel homesick. The only way to get rid of all my worries is to get drunk with something in this cup. Until now, I can't live without it."
Already."
Liu Xin knew that Guo Jia was full of talents, but died young, which probably had a lot to do with his good drinking. She knew that he would not be able to persuade him for a while, so he could only wait and take it slow in the future, so he changed the subject and said: "Following the filial piety"
, I haven’t seen you for six years. You have grown taller and stronger, but you have become a lot darker. In the past six years, you must have traveled all over the country. What do you think of the general trend of the world? "
Guo Jia's face suddenly brightened and he said: "The world will be in chaos! From south to north, from east to west, only the eldest brother's Jingzhou can be considered a paradise. The eldest brother is sitting in Jingzhou, with hundreds of thousands of armored men.
, it is time to make great contributions and save all the people in the world from water and fire!"
Liu Xin hesitated and said: "I am being filial, and I am telling the truth. I have already issued an announcement that I will not recognize Liu Xie, the false emperor who killed his brother and usurped the throne. He will wait until Dong thief is killed and the world is peaceful before he establishes a new emperor. However, the princes in each town will
I don’t agree. A few days ago, I was forced by the princes to withdraw from Luoyang. If I really want to save the people of the world, it seems that I have to use weapons. However, when the war breaks out, the people will be displaced again. So I am also in a dilemma."
Guo Jia drank another glass of wine and said: "I know that the eldest brother has great ambitions. If the eldest brother doesn't take the country, others will have to take it. Then the people will still be in ruins. It's better that the eldest brother takes it and builds it into a flower like Jingzhou.
World, that is the true kindness to the people!"
Liu Xin did not expect that Guo Jia's character would become so forthright after studying abroad for six years, and his speech would be straightforward without any mince-and-thin, so he persuaded him to come here with the goal of conquering the world. Seeing that he spoke directly, Liu Xin no longer concealed anything, and said:
"Fengxiao, to be honest, I have also considered these issues. The Dong thief has an army of more than 300,000 in Chang'an, Luoyang has an army of 400,000 from the Eastern Alliance, and Liu Yan in the west is in seclusion. According to you, if you want to take over the world, where should you start?
Start?"
Guo Jia said disdainfully: "Liu Yan is unwilling to make progress, Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, and the princes are scattered. It is easy for the eldest brother to defeat them one by one. However, the younger brother also spent more than a year on the northern grasslands during this study tour. The Xiongnu, Qiang,
The Xianbei and other tribes are becoming increasingly powerful. If the Central Plains falls into war, these tribes will definitely take the opportunity to go south and invade our Han Dynasty. We must guard against them."
Liu Xin thought for a moment and said: "Last year, I went to Zoke County in Yizhou to participate in the three-surname alliance. Later, my whereabouts were leaked and I was in danger of being killed by Liu Yan. Yizhou was fertile and wild, and Gaozu conquered the world because of it. I want to take revenge.
In the name of the army, we first take Xichuan, which can be regarded as a famous division, and then we go out of Hanzhong to attack Dong Zhuo. What do you think of this arrangement?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "I have heard that my eldest brother has captured Bajun and Zoke County. As long as Luocheng is captured again, Xichuan will be undefeated. Taking Xichuan first is also a good strategy. But to avenge personal revenge, a large number of weapons are deployed.
, I am afraid that for the sake of the shame of the people of the world, we need to find another excuse. I think the princes of Luoyang will be in chaos soon, why don’t I take Luoyang first, then capture Hangu Pass, and raise the banner of crusade against Dong Zhuo."
The two of them were eating and chatting when they suddenly heard two knocks on the door. When Liu Xin turned around to look, she saw Jushu hurried in and said, "My lord, something big has happened!"
