Follow your old father Liu Taigong back to the familiar courtyard.
Liu Bang's family was not too small, and although he was not a big landowner, he was relatively well off in the countryside.
Grandpa Liu was a capable businessman, but he was so generous in giving birth to Liu Bang.
When Liu Bang was young, he was very dissolute. He liked hunting with dogs and horses, gambling, and showing off with luxury goods.
The Liu family, which was relatively wealthy compared to ordinary families, was greatly ruined by Liu Bang.
When Liu Bang was young, he loved to gamble. He gambled so much that when he lost, he was forced to go to his house to demand debts. Without saying a word, old lady Liu took the family's cows out to pay off the debts.
Because of Liu Bang's ignorance when he was young, a large part of the Liu family's property was lost. Liu Taigong hated Liu Bang's failure, and his two sisters-in-law also hated Liu Bang because of this. Liu Bang himself became infamous in Feng County.
Fortunately, Liu Bang later went to Peixian County and became a little famous. Under the management of the second son Liu Zhong, the Liu family finally became prosperous again.
"season?"
Liu Zhong ran out of the house and looked at Liu Bang, who was leading a double carriage, dressed in fine clothes, and accompanied by a minister, his face full of disbelief.
Liu Zhong is older than Liu Bang, already fifty years old. Compared with Liu Bang, Liu Zhong, who has been working as a farmer all year round, looks even more aged.
"What are you..." Liu Zhong greeted Liu Bang and patted Liu Bang's shoulder.
"I got lucky and became Mr. Zhao's disciple." Liu Bang smiled.
Although I was worried about my father's partiality towards the second brother, to be honest, the second brother was pretty good to me.
In general, whether it was the elder brother or the father, although there were some scoldings and angry scoldings, they still wiped Liu Bang's butt a lot. Liu Bang, who returned home in glory, did not give his brother any look.
Liu Zhong's wife, on the other hand, had a lot of embarrassment on her face.
The brothers were good to Liu Bang, but the two sisters-in-law despised Liu Bang, an ignorant prodigal.
Now the old lady is still alive, the three brothers have not separated their families, Liu Bang is young and ignorant, isn't the whole family's property lost?
Therefore, the two sisters-in-law gave Liu Bang a lot of cold looks and expressions, and a lot of cynicism. This was one of the reasons why Liu Bang didn't like to go home.
When I get home, I have to be scolded by my father, scolded by my brother, and sarcastically disliked by my two sisters-in-law, which makes it difficult for my brother.
It's just that now that Liu Bang has returned to his hometown in glory, the two sisters-in-law know who Zhao Si is and that Liu Bang is about to become famous. The cynicism in the past seems like a steel needle, and they only feel ashamed.
"Young men have grown so big!" Liu Bang noticed the embarrassed faces of his two sisters-in-law, and just smiled and turned to look at his two and a half-year-old nephews.
He has grown into a strong young man, and looking at himself with a somewhat reserved look, Liu Bang took out two bows and arrows from the carriage.
"This is the bow and sword I bought for you, as well as these pieces of cloth. Sister-in-law, when your child is older, you must have decent clothes so that you won't be laughed at when you go out." Liu Bang took it out from the car. The cloth rewarded by Zhao Si and the bow and sword specially purchased by himself.
The two sisters-in-law felt relieved when they saw that Liu Bang didn't make a fuss. They took it with smiles on their faces and began to flatter him, praising Liu Bang as a capable man.
"Your brother has no ability. From now on, the Liu family will all depend on you." Because her husband died, the eldest sister-in-law didn't talk much. It was the second sister-in-law who spoke.
"How can you say that? I'm so beautiful that I can't keep money in my hands. I always spend as much as I have. The second brother is the one who can manage the family and the business." Liu Bang shook his head.
He did mind the cynicism of his two sisters-in-law, but he was not stingy enough to embarrass others at home, and he could not accept the other party's use of belittling his brothers to set him off.
After all, they are still brothers from the same mother!
The second sister-in-law looked a little embarrassed when she heard this, so she could only think to herself and said, "Hey, what do I, a ignorant village woman, know? The Liu family has to rely on you men to take care of it."
"How can you say that, sister-in-law? The meat soup cooked by the two sisters-in-law is excellent. I have often been away from home these years. Now that I think about it, it has been six years since I last had it. I miss this bite. It's been a long time, and my stomach still growls when I think about it." Liu Bang smiled and chose to let go.
The faces of the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were happy and ashamed at the same time.
Haven't you eaten in six years?
It wasn't because they disliked Liu Bang. As soon as Liu Bang came home, they just made do with some food to fool around. How could they make meat soup?
Liu Bang easily resolved the resentment and alienation, and did not accept the other party's self-deprecating way of reconciliation, which made the two sisters-in-law even more ashamed.
"Okay! It's the father of the Liu family after all!" Taigong Liu tapped his cane and looked at his two daughters-in-law.
"Hurry up and get some meat soup for the third child. I'm afraid you just walked all the way back and didn't eat anything." Taigong Liu said solemnly.
Liu Bang chuckled: "The person who knows me best is indeed my father!"
You're just here to show off, how can you have time to eat?
The two sisters-in-law heard the news and hurriedly prepared meals to prepare for the long-awaited third son of the Liu family. Brother Liu Zhong was also very happy and went to kill the chickens and geese himself.
The two and a half-year-old young men were very busy trying out their newly acquired bows and swords.
Liu Bang sat on the threshold, minding his own business, feeling dazed again and again in his mind as he watched the happy scene.
Life is really amazing.
Taigong Liu walked to the threshold step by step on crutches, and was tremblingly preparing to sit down. Liu Bang hurriedly stepped forward to support his father.
"Thanks to you, I am now an old lady." Liu Taigong put the crutch across his knees with a sigh in his eyes.
"People like me will achieve great things sooner or later." Liu Bang accepted the praise from his old father.
The old man fell into silence, looking at his son with gray hair on his temples, lost in thought.
Once upon a time, the youngest son who gave him the most headaches is now really promising. He drove a luxury carriage that could not be found in the entire Feng County and returned home wearing one of the best costumes in the entire county.
The old man pondered for a long time, and finally he could only sigh.
"The third child!"
"Hey!" Liu Bang raised his head and responded.
"You've grown up!" The old lady poked the ground with her crutch.
Liu Bang didn't answer, just smiled.
Just kidding, he's almost fifty, okay?
"What kind of person is Doctor Zhao?" Liu Taigong asked softly.
Liu Bang fell into deep thought after hearing this. To be honest, he didn't seem to have much contact with Zhao Si.
So far it's just a banquet.
He was captured inexplicably. Compared to Xiao He, Cao Shen and his group, Liu Bang always felt like he was an extra.
"I can't tell you, but it's very generous." Liu Bang shook his head.
"In addition, my preferences may be different from others, but I can let go of my arrogance and respect others. I am quite like Lord Xinling." Liu Bang pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Lord Xinling is famous all over the world for his benevolence and righteousness. In fact, to put it bluntly, Lord Xinling can treat his disciples fairly and justly. He can treat even a small person with enough respect. No matter how small a person is, he can find hope in life in front of Lord Xinling. value and meaning.
Lord Xinling can be said to be the spiritual idol of most rangers.
He values promises over money, is courageous and talented, has a high enough status and high status, but he can treat others with courtesy, and he can be kind even to his subordinates.
In the world, when mentioning Lord Xinling, ten people would give a thumbs up when mentioning him.
When he was only twelve or thirteen years old, Liu Bang's goal in life was to become a disciple of Lord Xinling.
Unfortunately, Lord Xinling died when Liu Bang was fourteen years old, but this still did not prevent Liu Bang from admiring Lord Xinling.
In fact, in the final analysis, the worship of Lord Xinling by most of the low-level rangers and scholars in the world is not so much worship as it is that in this era when aristocratic blood and family background control everything, and the upward path is seriously blocked, they regard only those who can Cai Ju, Li Xian Corporal Xin Lingjun regarded him as his spiritual sustenance.
People never admit their own incompetence. They usually blame their predicament on being unappreciated, and imagine that with Lord Xinling's character, he will be able to discover his talents and display his ambitions.
In fact, Lord Xinling did not have as many followers as he thought, at least he would not attract all the down-and-out knights and scholars in the world.
Corporal Xinlingjun was fair and honorable, but there was a threshold for becoming his disciple.
Perhaps the only difference between Mr. Xinling and others is that if you come and are not accepted, he will receive you in person, explain the whole story to you, reimburse you for your travel expenses in person, and encourage you without looking at you with disdain. .
This kind of thing seems to be convenient and cost-effective, but in fact there is only one Lord Xinling in the world who is willing to do this.
But Zhao Si doesn't have so many bad habits. In his heart, he doesn't regard himself and Qian Shou as two different species because of his identity. Even as a superior, Zhao Si can hardly have any airs most of the time. For individuals in life, Except for the cotton harvester, Zhao Si usually maintains enough respect.
"Although we were captured, we can actually see it from many places."
"Most of the time, my lord talks to people in a tone of discussion rather than giving orders. Under normal circumstances, he is willing to explain clearly the whole story. Even if he is giving orders to a maid, he will try his best to make the maid understand what he is going to do. What, instead of simply ordering him, let him figure it out on his own.
And when he got along with us, he didn't mind that I was from a humble background, and was even willing to chat with us one by one. In just one meeting, he could remember our names clearly... Even the things he gave us were all from him. Prepared personally. "Liu Bang gave a fair evaluation based on his few contacts.
Value yourself, don’t mind your humble background, be generous, respect others, don’t bully others, don’t be duplicitous...
If this isn't Lord Xinling's style, what is it?
"It seems that you have indeed followed a good master." The old lady sighed faintly.
Taigong Liu stood up, leaned on crutches, took a deep breath, and patted Liu Bang's shoulder hard.
"If you can eat people's wealth, you must be loyal to people. Don't embarrass the old Liu family!"
Liu Ji smiled...
"I'm naturally aware of this." Liu Bang shook his head.
Zhao Si is really his ideal lord!
The gift was too much, to say the least, it was enough to buy Liu Bang ten lives.
This is just the entry benefit...
"It's just a matter of repaying it with my life..."
In a daze, the child in Liu Bang's heart who admired Lord Xinling's style seemed to become active again.
