After learning the news of Liu Bei's death, Liu Bang was indeed in a bad mood. But he was just a child, the kind of child without any lofty ideals. After being sad for a few days, he gradually returned to normal.
Liu Bang didn't like studying, and he had nothing to do in the house. In the past, he would take a few followers to play on the streets of Xiangyang. But during this time, Xiangyang City was busy moving, and Liu Xin was worried about any accidents.
Liu Bang was forbidden to go out. Therefore, Liu Bang has been staying in his Changlehou Mansion recently, and his bodyguards quickly brought him to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion without much effort.
Liu Bang has always loved and hated Zhou Mufu.
After all, Liu Bang can be regarded as the eldest son of the Liu family, and he should have a distinguished status in the Prefecture Mufu. However, in the Prefecture Mufu, everyone from Liu Xin and Ma Yun to the maids and servants have an extremely cold attitude towards him. And his
"Brother" Liu Yu once "showed off" his force to him. Of course, the reason was because he bullied Huang Yueying first. In Liu Bang's view, although Huang Yueying was somewhat related to the Liu family and had some history, she was still an outsider after all.
, this "younger brother" did not help himself, but instead helped outsiders, which made him very unhappy, but the other "younger brothers and sisters" still listened to Liu Yu, the second brother.
Then again, there are delicacies in the Zhou Mufu that you can't get outside with money, and there are also many novel toys. Although those toys are for the young "brothers and sisters" to play with, Liu Bang wanted to play with them.
He played and no one stopped him.
However, this time it was Liu Xin who ordered him to come here. Regardless of whether he loved or hated him, Liu Bang did not dare not to come, so he had to follow his guards obediently to Liu Xin.
Liu Xin looked up at him, suddenly frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong with your clothes?"
Liu Bang looked down and found that his clothes were full of mud spots and stains. When the guards went to summon him just now, he was lying in the grass to catch crickets and was frightened when he heard Liu Xin calling him.
His legs were weak, and he was almost dragged over by the guards. He never thought of changing clothes. Facing Liu Xin's sharp eyes, Liu Bang did not dare to hide it, and he did everything he had done in the mansion.
What was said.
To Liu Bang's surprise, Liu Xin did not blame him this time. Instead, he relaxed his frown and said, "Bang'er, you are not young anymore. You don't just want to play for fun, you also have time to do it."
Read more books.”
Of course Liu Xin will not be angry because of this matter. When he was a child, he often did things like crawling into the grass to catch crickets and climbing to the top of trees to dig out bird eggs. Even for the Liu Yu brothers, in addition to practicing martial arts,
Liu Xin rarely interfered with what they wanted to do or play the rest of the time.
Seeing that Liu Xin was not angry, Liu Bang relaxed a little and said with a pout: "Back to father, I also want to go to the academy like Liu Yu and the others, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "This is impossible. You have already exceeded the age for admission, and the academy has its own rules and will not make exceptions for anyone. So, if you really want to
If you want to study, I will find another teacher for you."
Liu Bang's expression darkened when he heard Liu Xin say that he wanted to find another teacher for him. The reason why he wanted to go to the academy was not because he was really eager to learn, but because he wanted to have more playmates.
When Liu Bei was still in Xiangyang, he introduced many teachers to him. It is said that those people were all famous people in the world, and even Guo Jia, Han Xi, Xun Yu, Xun You and others were their students. Uncles Xun Yu and Xun You
nephew Liu
Bang didn't know, but Guo Jia and Han Xi were all important ministers under Liu Xin. Even if Liu Bang still didn't understand, Liu Bei would explain it clearly to him. But Liu Bang was really not good at studying. Every time he met these people, he was confused.
It's like sitting on pins and needles.
Now, Liu Xin has to find a teacher for him, who must be a famous person in the world. Liu Bang has a headache when he thinks that he has to face such a boring life again. Liu Bang only dared to think about these words secretly in his heart,
No matter what, he didn't dare to say it in front of Liu Xin, but the change in the expression on his face gave him away.
If Liu Bang really wanted to study, Liu Xin would definitely choose a good teacher for him, and there would be more than one. There are so many gentlemen in the academy, and I believe many people would be happy to let them use their spare time to teach Liu Bang. But
Since Liu Bang himself had little interest in studying, Liu Xin was too lazy to spend more time on him. He waved his hand and said, "You have nothing to do here. Go see your mother in the back."
As if he had been granted amnesty, Liu Bang hurriedly handed over his hand and exited the study. He was not welcomed in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, but because of his status as the "eldest son" and being underage, there was no hindrance in entering and exiting the back house.
Although he did not live in the Zhou Mufu, he had been here many times and knew the route. He soon arrived outside the small courtyard where Ma Yun lived, but was stopped by the little maid Guo Zhao.
Although Guo Zhao was two years younger than Liu Bang, he was taller than Liu Bang. Seeing Liu Bang coming, Guo Zhao put his hands on his hips, blocked Liu Bang's face, and said sternly: "Madam is taking a nap.
Please wait here."
After all, Ma Yun is already over 30 years old. This pregnancy is very different from the previous two. She is prone to drowsiness. After she talked about something with Liu Xin earlier and arranged for her bodyguard to call Liu Bang, she felt a little tired.
When he got back to the house, he lay down. Guo Zhao is such a smart little girl. When he saw his wife sleeping, she naturally wouldn't let anyone disturb her.
Although Liu Bang was afraid of Liu Xin and Ma Yun, he was not afraid of these servants, even though these servants were not usually friendly towards him. When Liu Bang saw Guo Zhao stopping him, Liu Bang felt angry, so he acted like a young master, and
Guo Zhao started to argue.
Ma Yun was not sleeping deeply. When she heard the noise outside the door, she woke up immediately. She couldn't help but stand up and said, "Qiao'er, go out and take a look. Who is making a lot of noise outside?"
The academy is on holiday, and neither Liu Yu nor Ma Fan went to school. However, the two brothers have grown up. They study, practice martial arts, and play with their younger brothers and sisters, and do not need Qiaoer to take care of them anymore. So Qiaoer spends most of his time now
Also staying in Ma Yun
Next to me, I was doing some needlework. Qiao'er had heard the noise outside the door just now, and was about to go out to stop it when she realized that Ma Yun had been disturbed. She hurriedly said: "Reporting to Madam, it seems to be the voices of Zhao'er and the eldest young master, slave.
Then call them in."
Ma Yun couldn't help frowning and said, "Yu'er? Why did he and Zhao'er quarrel?"
Qiaoer hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not Mr. Yu, it's Mr. Bang."
Ma Yun then remembered that she had just discussed with Liu Xin about bringing Liu Bang into the house to stay for a few days. She couldn't help but nodded and said: "It turns out to be Liu Bang. Qiao'er, go and bring him in."
Come on, tell Zhao'er not to embarrass him."
After a while, Liu Bang was brought in by Qiao'er. Guo Zhao also followed with an aggrieved look on his face. He must have been scolded by Qiao'er outside. Although they were both servants, Qiao'er was the eldest girl in the same room.
Due to his status, he is fully qualified to reprimand Guo Zhao, and Guo Zhao disturbed his wife's rest today, so it is reasonable to receive a reprimand.
When Qiaoer scolded Guo Zhao just now, Liu Bang was listening. If it were Liu Yu or Ma Fan, they would definitely say a few words for Guo Zhao. After all, Guo Zhao also wanted Ma Yun to have a good rest.
There was no other malicious intent. But Liu Bang was different. Not only did he not speak for Guo Zhao, but he was somewhat complacent, feeling that his identity as the eldest young master was at least recognized by Qiaoer.
Ma Yun's attitude today was indeed different from the past. When she saw Liu Bang coming in, she actually had a smile on her face, patted her side gently and said, "Bang'er, come here, sit down here with me."
Liu Bang couldn't help but feel a little flattered. His face was filled with tears after many days of grievance, and he timidly called out: "Mother..."
There is a large-scale orphanage in Xiangyang City. Orphans from all over the country are sent there. Not only Ma Yun and Bian Yu often go there to visit the orphans, but even the Queen Mother He Lian often goes there. These orphans have no
He has no father and mother, but under the care of the government, he can still live a life without worries about food and clothing. Living with so many people together is probably much more comfortable than living under house arrest like Liu Bang.
Women are emotional creatures after all. Seeing Liu Bang shed tears, Ma Yun's heart softened even more. She took Liu Bang's hand and said, "Bang'er, you have suffered these years. From now on, you will live with your mother and brothers."
Bar."
"Mom, are you telling the truth?" Liu Bang was overjoyed, stopped crying immediately, nodded, and suddenly said hesitantly, "But, but..."
Ma Yun touched Liu Bang's round head and said with a smile: "Bang'er, act like a man. Don't be hesitant all the time. Is there anything you can't say to your mother?"
Liu Bang raised his head and saw the smile on Ma Yun's face. He couldn't help but gain confidence and said sheepishly: "Just now, daddy said in front that he wanted to arrange a teacher for the child, but the child didn't want to, didn't want..."
Liu Bang finally didn't dare to say the word "study" after this. Liu Xin's son was unwilling to study. It would make people laugh if it was spread. Ma Yun would not agree either, so he didn't say it.
good.
Regarding Liu Bang's current situation, Ma Yun also knew clearly. Seeing Liu Bang's hesitant appearance, Ma Yun already understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't you want to study? Just don't read if you don't want to, no.
People will force you."
Because of Liu Bang's special status, Ma Yun also had her own plans for his studies. If Liu Bang was eager to learn and make progress, even if Liu Xin and Ma Yun did not arrange a teacher for him, he could still find some books to read by himself.
After all, outsiders know that he is
Liu Xin's "eldest son", if he really wants to learn, he can read any book. But if Liu Bang doesn't like to learn, Ma Yun will naturally not force him. Is it possible that he will deliberately cultivate a person who is a threat to his son?
Isn’t it an “outsider”?
Hearing that Ma Yun did not force him to study, Liu Bang became even more happy and said, "Mom, from now on, when the child lives at home, will he be able to see the two beautiful sisters who came that day more often?"
