The festival is over, let’s take a break from reading——
February, the fourth year of Zhongping.
This is a time of spring and flowers blooming.
Liu Ming took his wife Cai Yan and his concubine Wu Liya on an outing. The recent period can be said to be the most pleasant moment in Liu Ming's life. Happy events came one after another.
First, Gongsun Du obeyed the military order and sent troops to conquer the Mahan tribe.
Secondly, Xiuer used the pseudonym Zhang Yan and successfully raised an army of bandits. Except at the beginning, Zhang Yan accepted Liu Ming’s 10,000 dans of rations, 20,000 weapons, and 3,000 troops. Later, Zhang Yan
, and never asked for any supplies. Now Zhang Yan has pulled up 50,000 soldiers and horses, crisscrossing the Taihang Mountains, harassing Jizhou and Bingzhou, and robbing countless wealth. The wealthy businessmen in Jizhou and Bingzhou all admire Youzhou.
In order to achieve peace and stability, they moved to Youzhou one after another. And Zhang Yan even helped Guan Hai of Yuzhou and Yan Baihu of Jiaozhou, so that they also secretly formed a group of people, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble.
Once again, the horse thief army led by Zang Ba has now become a powerful force outside the Great Wall. Now even the herdsmen have sworn and swore against Zang Ba’s black cavalry army. If I lied to you today, let me go out
Encountered the Black Cavalry Army. Later, after Liu Ming's Cavalry and Zang Ba's Black Cavalry conducted several beautiful exercises, various small tribes outside the Great Wall asked to join Liu Ming's Tianma City and accept Tianma City's
Protection and rule. And those tribes that cannot live without their own land, some with larger population and greater power, are also rushing to express their sincerity to Liu Ming, and request Liu Ming to send officials and give them banners to protect themselves. Now
The only ones on the grassland that are relatively independent are those very large tribes with a population of more than 40,000.
Secondly, because Liu Ming sent people to build cities and roads for various ethnic groups such as Nanlou and Wuhuan, it actually stimulated the demand for cement, building materials, etc. within Youzhou, which greatly improved Youzhou's economy, and those who
Those who were rewarded with money to help build roads spent the money after they had the money, which greatly promoted the prosperity of various markets in Youzhou. This can be regarded as Liu Ming's unintentional planting, Liu Chengyin.
Liu Ming was greatly moved, and said, "If you want to get rich, build roads first." This is really the same thing.
And all these happy events, taken together, cannot keep up with the surprise that another happy event brought to Liu Ming.
That is, Cai Yan is pregnant. Liu Ming, like every man who is a new father, is very careful with Cai Yan. He is afraid that something will happen to Cai Yan during her pregnancy.
No, Cai Yan felt bored today, so Liu Ming deliberately put down his official duties and went out with Cai Yan to enjoy the scenery and relieve his boredom.
Although Liu Ming was accompanying Cai Yan, in fact Liu Ming himself also admired the beautiful scenery in front of him. He saw green mountains, green water, white clouds, brilliant mountain flowers everywhere, song insects, birds, butterflies, and endless birdsong and fragrance. Slowly
The cool breeze blows on the face, making people intoxicated. And the fresh breath with wisps of fragrance that is deeply inhaled makes people extremely relaxed and happy.
Wu Liya took her sisters and played happily in this fairyland on earth. Some of them caught butterflies and insects, some sang and danced, and more sisters were happily playing with what Liu Ming had given them.
Those kites made. These kites are all carefully made by Liu Ming. They are made of the best paper in Liu Ming's paper workshop. There are also colors and paintings carefully painted by Cai Yan and other women. They are really exquisite.
.
Originally, Cai Yan was also thinking about flying a kite and playing, but Liu Ming was afraid that Cai Yan, who was pregnant, would act too much. If something went wrong, it would be bad. So Liu Ming persuaded Cai Yan to stay with her.
You can only look at her, but not move her. The price is that Liu Ming stays by Cai Yan's side and compensates with endless love words.
And just when everyone was having fun, accompanied by the gentle breeze, there were faint sounds of crying.
Cai Yan felt pity and pushed Liu Ming with his hand, hinting that he wanted Liu Ming to take a look.
Liu Ming frowned and said to himself: What blind guy dared to defeat his and Xiao Yan's interest? It's really unforgivable. Liu Ming waved his hand, and in the distance, in order to protect Liu Ming, he was always monitoring Dian here.
Wei immediately came closer and said respectfully: "Master, why are you calling me?"
Liu Ming whispered: "Go and see. Who is crying here? And why are they crying?"
"Nuo." Dian Wei bowed and accepted the order.
After a while, Dian Wei brought a person over. When Liu Ming approached him, Dian Wei threw the person to the ground with a bang, saluted Liu Ming and said: "My lord, it's this guy who is crying there."
When someone asked him why he was crying, he turned around and ran away. It was really annoying, hateful and extremely rude. Therefore, I brought him here. If the lord wants him to be useless, can the lord let me teach him a lesson?
Give him a meal and let him know what politeness is."
Liu Ming was very surprised when he saw Dian Wei bringing that guy up. He said in his heart: Dian Wei, Dian Wei, you are really capable. Why did you bring this guy here? You can just send him away casually.
Come on. If they are really pitiful, just give them money, that's it. But when Liu Ming looked at the man who was thrown to the ground by Dian Wei, he felt that that man was really a bit sympathetic.
, but the more Liu Ming looked at him, the more he felt that the man was hateful.
What's the matter? It turns out that this person is not very old, he seems to be a few years younger than Guo Jia, and his appearance is also very delicate, with a pair of big watery eyes, flickering, flickering. It is endearing, but Dian Wei throws him down.
He lay on the ground, looking in pain and wanting to cry but not daring to cry, which made people sympathize. At first, Liu Ming felt a little sympathetic to him, and he understood why Dian Wei brought him back. But Liu Ming
It is this kid who Ming is angry with. He is a reprint of Guo Jia's little pervert, and he is even more perverted than Guo Jia. But Guo Jiafeng is perverted, and that's because Guo Jia is capable, and Guo Jia is resourceful and courageous.
, you can definitely look at it as an adult, but what does it matter to you, a little guy? The fetal hair has not gone away yet. It’s okay to cry. When I first came here, I seemed to have lost three souls and six souls. Now it’s better, a pair of
The evil eyes are fixed on my wife and cannot be pulled out. It is really annoying and hateful!
At that time, Liu Ming's face sank and he said angrily: "Du! Little thief, where are you looking? If you don't take back your thief eyes, be careful. I will take you to the government office and your parents will come to claim you."
.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, the boy jumped into Cai Yan's arms, hugged Cai Yan and cried: "Sister, they all bully me."
Everyone in Dianwei was dumbfounded. This boy was so bold that he dared to hug his lord's wife. Cai Yan was also stunned for a moment, not daring to move. When Liu Ming saw this, he was so angry, you are really a coward.
, how dare you bully me. Liu Ming yelled angrily: "You're rude!" He grabbed the kid's head and threw the kid aside so that Dian Wei and the others could take care of him.
Who would have thought that the boy tilted his head, and Liu Ming only grabbed the boy's hat, but the boy was still wrapped around Cai Yan's body. Logically speaking, Liu Ming should continue to pull him away, but
Including Liu Ming, everyone was stunned and unable to move.
It turned out that as Liu Ming took off the boy's hat, the boy's hair was flying, but the boy was actually a female doll.
At this time, the girl was crying with her arms around Cai Yan. When Cai Yan saw that it was just a cute girl hugging him, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted the girl's back lovingly, and mouthed
He coaxed: "Sister, be good, don't cry. I have a sister to help you." As Cai Yan said this, he glanced at Liu Ming accusingly. That meant: If you look like a manly man, you will bully the little ones.
Girl, look at how you made me cry.
What else could Liu Ming do at this time besides a helpless smile?
The girl cried for a long time before she gradually stopped crying. Cai Yan seized the opportunity and asked: "What was sister crying just now? Who bullied you? You tell me, and your sister will help you make the decision." Cai Yan and Zhang Xiuer were stunned.
After being together for a long time, it is inevitable to get a bit of a heroic spirit. Now that I am pregnant with a child, I feel a bit of motherly love.
The girl wiped her tears and said with some embarrassment: "Sister, it's okay. I cried just now because I thought the weather was nice today. I stole my brother's horse and went out to play. Unexpectedly, along the way, I just looked at
I was greedy for the beauty of the scenery. When I came here, I saw the flying things that day. They were very beautiful. I didn’t pay attention to the road. As a result, the rocks hurt the horseshoe of my brother’s BMW, and I also hurt myself. I’m afraid to go back.
After that, my brother scolded me. I felt sorry for the horse’s injury, and I also hurt myself from the fall, so I cried there. I didn’t expect it to affect my sister’s game. I’m really sorry.”
Cai Yan quickly comforted the little girl and said: "It's okay. My sister is so good, how can it affect my sister? But you just saw General Dian, why did you run?" Cai Yan asked on behalf of the innocent Dian Wei who was standing aside.
.
The little girl blinked her big eyes and said: "Is that big man a general? I thought it was a bandit robbing someone? My brother said that bandits are like this. And the person was crying sadly? He suddenly jumped out and said
You asked me in such a loud voice. It would be strange if I didn't run away."
Dian Wei understood and stood there, speechless and angry.
At this time, the little girl asked again: "By the way. Who is the person sitting with my sister?"
Cai Yan said shyly: "That's my sister's husband."
"Wow!" the little girl yelled. Cai Yan was startled, and Cai Yan quickly asked: "What's wrong with my sister?"
"He is actually my sister's husband. He is really average-looking, not good-looking at all. He is not good enough for my sister at all." The little girl said exaggeratedly.
Cai Yan tapped the little girl's head with his finger and said jokingly: "Little elf, people are like little ghosts. What do you know? What's the use of a man looking good? The most important thing for a man is to be a man who stands upright and upright.
Hero, that's good."
The little girl seemed to understand and said: "Oh. So that's it. Then my sister's husband must also be a great hero?"
Cai Yan said proudly: "Of course."
At this time, Liu Ming didn't want to listen to what the two women were talking about him, so he asked someone to bring the little girl's horse over. Liu Ming took a look and saw that the horse's left front hoof was split by gravel. Liu Ming shook his head.
Shaking his head, he asked casually: "Why don't you nail a horseshoe on the horse?"
The little girl looked at Liu Ming strangely, her big eyes flickering, and asked Liu Ming curiously: "Well, what is a horseshoe?"
Liu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to her. The little girl had little experience. She didn't even know how to play a horseshoe. Liu Ming waved his hand at Dian Wei and said casually: "Awei, explain it to her." Then he looked at the horse again.
Dian Wei complied: "No." He was about to explain to the little girl. But Dian Wei opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time. Finally, Dian Wei patted his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Liu Ming said: "My lord, what is a horseshoe? I don't know. Is a horseshoe the same as a horseshoe?"
Liu Ming was stunned and then realized: Is there no horseshoe yet? Liu Ming had no choice but to explain to the little girl himself: "The horse shoe is on the horse's hoof, nailing a metal sole to the horse. Its shape is
It's the same size as a horse's hoof, and because it's made of metal, it can protect the horse's hoof. Just like us people wear shoes." As Liu Ming said, he was worried that the little girl wouldn't understand, so he drew a horseshoe shape on the ground.
.
Unexpectedly, the little girl shrank behind Cai Yan and said, "Sister, he is so cruel. If he nails something into the horse's hoof, the horse will die of pain."
When Liu Ming heard this, he was so angry. I nailed the hoofs to the horse, but it turned out to be cruel. Liu Ming said to the little girl: "The hoofs are nailed to the horse's thick armor, so the horse won't hurt."
The little girl made a face at Liu Ming and said: "You are not a horse, how do you know that the horse will not hurt? And you said that nailing a metal hoof to the horse is not realistic. You said,
What kind of metal should you use to make hoof soles? Copper ones will be broken by horses within a few days, and iron ones are so expensive? Who can afford them?"
Liu Ming was speechless by this little girl. He really didn’t know what he should say to this little girl. Liu Ming then thought again: Well, how can I be so angry with a little girl? Turn around and let the army
Just use the horseshoe. This horseshoe is a good thing, so there is no need to regret it. When Liu Ming thought of this, his mood improved. He said to the little girl in a pleasant manner: "Little sister, be good. It was all the big brother's fault just now."
What's your name? Where are your parents and brother? Can eldest brother send someone to take you back?" Liu Ming now wanted to send this little girl away to get rid of this trouble.
The little girl shook her head and said: "No." Then she looked at Liu Ming suspiciously and said: "My brother said that a girl's name cannot be told to outsiders casually. Why do you want to slap me?"
