Chapter 31

Tu Niu'er made the way, Wang Fengshi accompanied him, and Liang Xiao was hugged into the door.

Hu Lai was wearing a brocade dress, holding a long sword in his hand, standing at the door, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes were full of arrogance. If the scars on his face had not yet subsided, he would have been considered majestic.

Seeing Hu Lai, Tu Niuer unconsciously raised his chest, like two fighting little roosters. But Hu Lai was wearing a brocade dress, like a rooster with bright feathers, Tu Niuer was tattered, like a little rooster with hair loss. Fortunately, they were all injured on their faces, and they were quite compatible.

"The wound on the face has not healed yet?" Tu Niu'er took the initiative. "Didn't you get any problems? She broke her face, but she couldn't find her wife."

"Each of each other." Hu Lai was not willing to be outdone and retorted. "Even if you don't lose your appearance, you can't find a wife."

Everyone burst into laughter. Tu Niuer was so angry that she clenched her fists and was about to argue with Hu Lai. Hu Lai sneered and glanced at Liang Xiao. "I am here with Liu Jun today. I don't want to fight with you, so as not to hurt my colleagues' kindness and it will be difficult to get along in the future."

Tu Niuer snorted, raised her head high, almost spraying her booze on Hu Lai's face.

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly, grabbed Tu Niu'er, walked past Hu Lai without looking sideways, and came to the courtyard.

My old lady Liang Mama and Liu Ling were sitting opposite each other, and they had a great time talking. Lei was sitting at Liu Ling's head. A few boxes were placed in the corridor below the hall, and the lids were all opened to reveal the rich gifts inside. When Liang Xiao saw them, he shook his head repeatedly. This is too unpretentious. Can't we be more reserved? It's so petty.

This is actually the open mind of the Han Dynasty. The gifts given are generous enough, the host is respectful, and the guests seem generous, and they want everyone to see them. They do not have the idea of ​​hiding Liang Xiao like this.

Seeing Liang Xiao come in, Liu Ling smiled and bowed to greet him. Mama Liang waved and said, "Xiao'er, come quickly, Liu Jun is here to visit, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come forward to see you quickly, I hope Liu Jun forgives your crime of negligence."

Liang Xiao stepped forward, bowed and smiled, "I've been hanging out for a few days, and I'm not dressed. Please ask Liu Junrong to wash up and come with me again."

Liu Ling looked at Liang Xiao, covered in dirt, and nodded with a smile. Liang Xiao turned around and entered his room, and shouted again: "Mother, where is my clothes?"

Mama Liang apologized to Liu Ling, got up and walked into the room, covered the door, and whispered: "What's wrong? Liu Jun has visited twice, how could you be so rude?"

"Mother, this Liu Jun cannot be messed with." Liang Xiao whispered when he pulled Liang Mama to the corner: "He is from Huainan, and maybe he has something to do with the King of Huainan. If it is related to them, will it be good for us?"

"What's wrong with King Huainan?" Liang Mama was puzzled. "King Huainan is the uncle of today's son, a famous master in the world, and is eager to seek talent. If he really appreciates you and recruits you as a guest, it is a good opportunity for you to become an official. Why did you refuse?"

Liang Xiao suddenly had a headache. He really couldn't explain to me. I was right. In this era, being a guest under the princes and kings was a way to become an official, and a relatively high-level way, at least it was better than being an official or joining the army.

For ordinary people, kingdoms are like courts, they are loyal lords. Before the Wu and Chu Rebellion, kingdoms and courts were equal. Even if the status of kingdom officials has declined now, it is still a rare opportunity for people like Liang Xiao.

When she was a guest at the royal palace, whether she was an official in the future or was recommended to the court, it was a shortcut to promotion. For Maggie Liang, who was determined to be a son and was appointed as a general, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She was not Liang Xiao, so of course she could not know the final outcome of the Huainan King, and even didn't know that the Huainan King now had a ill-intention.

Liang Xiao couldn't say to her, "Mom, I know that the King of Huainan will rebel in more than ten years. If I really want to say this, I probably have to carry a chicken again and ask Grandma Chu to chant a spell to exorcise evil spirits."

Liang Xiao was so anxious that he was sweating. Mama Liang was puzzled and worried. "Xiao'er, what are you worried about? Are you afraid that you will be unable to make a breakthrough after entering the mansion?"

When Liang Xiao heard this, he nodded repeatedly. "Yes, mother, look, I am not yet an adult, and I have just started learning archery. It is the time to calm down and cultivate my character. How can I give up halfway? Besides, although my father is not here, I have a master. Even if I go to the Huainan Prince's Mansion, I have to discuss with Huanjun. Do you think so?"

"This is a reason." Mama Liang looked at her son with relief. "In the face of such an opportunity, you can still remain calm and not be respectful to the teacher. My mother likes it very much. Let's do this. You go out to meet Liu Jun and have all the etiquette. My mother refuses for you. Since Liu Jun is the envoy of the King of Huainan, I don't think it will be difficult for anyone to force me."

Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly and cared for him: "Since Liu Jun did not reveal his identity as the Huainan Prince's Mansion, my mother pretended not to know. After all, it is illegal to cross national borders privately. If someone knows it, my family will not be able to do anything about it."

Mama Liang smiled and patted Liang Xiao’s back of the head with love. “Xiao’er, you’re finally sensible. A real man must be open and honest and have a promise, but he should also consider it carefully and think twice. Don’t let the disaster go in the future for a moment, and regret it.”

Liang Xiao laughed twice, Liang Mama pushed the door and went out, Liang Xiao washed and changed his clothes by himself. When he came to the hall again, I had already expressed my politeness to Liu Ling. Liu Ling had some regret in his eyes, but he did not force him. He just said that he would come and visit him again when Huan Jun comes back, and then see Huan Jun’s opinions.

Liang Xiao felt relieved and sent Liu Ling and Lei out of the gate. In front of everyone, Liu Ling smiled and said, "Mr. Liang is devoted to martial arts and is not moved by wealth and honor, which is admirable. I am not talented and I hope to get a good companion and be friends. I will come to ask for advice again in three months."

Liang Xiao was stunned, come again?

When the neighbors watching at the door heard this, they couldn't help but praise it. Although Liang Xiao refused the invitation and could not be rich immediately, there was still an opportunity. More importantly, refusing the invitation is a very respectable thing. The Han people seek wealth, but at the same time they also appreciate people who are not moved by wealth. Many people can do it to seek wealth, but it is even more rare to be indifferent to fame and fortune. Many people deliberately refuse invitations to support their fame.

Liang Xiao refused the invitation to avoid disaster, but by chance he became a gentleman who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

Hearing the utterly exclaimed, his expression was very complicated, like eating a piece of yellow lotus, which made him feel bitter to his heart, but he couldn't spit it out, so he had to swallow it with tears in his eyes.
