Chapter 3660 The gentleman is not hungry for food
Just then, the carriage stopped.
The master and the servant shook a little. Chuyun hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Xinping, and heard the rough voice of the coachman coming from outside: "You two, we're here."
He felt happy and hurriedly opened the curtain and looked outside, only to see their carriage parked in an alley. The alley was not wide and could barely pass a carriage. No larger carriage could pass, but looking forward and backward,
Look, there are no mansions.
Xinping frowned, and Chu Yun beside him immediately said: "Isn't this right? Where is the Liu family?"
The horseman dusted off his shoulders and pointed to another road beside the alley and said, "Go over there and you'll find Mr. Liu's mansion on the opposite side. The roads here are very narrow and the carriage can't really pass. Please bear with me."
The two of them craned their necks and took a look. Sure enough, opposite the narrow muddy alley was a street that was not very spacious. There were still some pedestrians walking on the street, and across the long street was a house, but
The door is not grand and grand. At first glance, it does not have the majesty and wealth of an official residence, but looks more like a common people's house.
Xinping couldn't help but frown and said: "Old--isn't Mr. Liu the biggest official in Xichuan? Why does the place where he lives--it's so small, and the road is so narrow that even a carriage can't pass it, so how does he usually go out?"
The coachman probably knew that the two of them were from out of town, and he saw that they must be rich people with a lot of money, and they looked a bit unworldly, so he laughed and said: "You two don't know, this place, the location
Generally speaking, it is indeed not a place where rich people live. The rich people in Chengdu all live in the south of the city, such as the Yan family and the Tang family. This land is cheap, otherwise Mr. Liu wouldn't be able to afford it. He usually goes out.
Just walk by yourself, go to the government office to do errands, or come back from the government office, and only then can you sit in the official sedan."
Xinping asked: "Does he have no money?"
The coachman smiled and said, "You're rich."
Xinping was a little anxious: "Why do you do this when you have money?"
The coachman put away the riding whip in his hand and said, "You just don't want to spend it on yourself if you have money. You two walked into the city and heard a lot of reading. In the past few years, Chengdu alone has become a new city."
Several academies were built with Master Liu’s money. If it weren’t for him, our place wouldn’t be what it is now.”
When I heard this, I suddenly felt warm in my heart, even though it was freezing and snowing around me.
She said softly: "He, he is like this."
The coachman said: "Master Liu is a good official who is hard to find even with a lantern. Many people in the city wanted to build a shrine for him, but he refused. He said that if he really wanted to build it, it would be better to build it."
Give him money and teach his children a few schools. Tell me, is such a good official the son of a god?"
Chu Yun's eyes lit up when he heard it.
She has been with Princess Xinping for a long time, and she has long known the princess's thoughts. However, as far as they are concerned, they only know that Mr. Liu offended the emperor because of his relationship with the princess and was sent to
Xichuan, but never expected that he was such a good official and could be loved by the people here in Xichuan.
Chuyun leaned close to Xinping's ear and whispered, "I didn't expect him to be such a good person."
Xinping turned to look at her and said, "He is very good!"
After saying that, the two people jumped out of the carriage.
The coachman probably knew that these two beautiful ladies came to see Mr. Liu for a long time. He said with a smile: "You two, across this alley is his home. Mrs. Liu goes to the school in person at this time every day.
The young master who picked him up should be back soon, I'm afraid you might still run into him if you go there."
After saying that, he nodded and drove away.
Xinping and Chuyun turned around and looked, then walked along the narrow alley. Sure enough, the street on the other side was even narrower. It couldn't even be called a street. The narrow road was still bumpy. Xinping stood there
At the entrance of the alley, I looked at the rather quiet mansion across the street. It had two small doors, and there were only two simple characters on the plaque hanging on the door - Liu House.
Chu Yun couldn't help but mutter: "It's so shabby."
As she said that, she turned to look at Xinping, only to see Xinping looking at the word "Liu Zhai" without saying a word, thoughtfully.
Chu Yun said: "Miss, why don't we go in?"
Xinping shook his head gently.
Chuyun raised his head and looked at the sky. Although there were thick clouds above his head and it was impossible to see the sky, it was already at least midnight since they entered the city. At this time, the cold wind was howling and the falling snow was much denser than before, making people shivering.
Shivering, Chu Yun said, "Why don't you go in? It's so cold outside."
Xinping said: "Don't rush me."
When the princess spoke, she naturally didn't dare to say anything. She could only stand beside Xinping, stamping her feet and breathing into her frozen hands. Even she was so cold, so Xinping didn't need to say anything, but she kept talking from beginning to end.
I didn't complain, but stood calmly in the wind and snow, staring at the end of this long and narrow street.
I don't know how long it took, but two figures, one big and one small, appeared at the other end of the long street.
It was a woman wearing a thick coat, holding an umbrella in one hand, and holding a six or seven-year-old boy with the other hand.
Apparently a mother and son.
Because of the dark sky and the two people holding paper umbrellas above their heads, I could barely make out the woman of medium height, ordinary appearance, and very simple clothes. The child she was holding was not tall, but had red lips and white teeth.
, a pair of big and bright eyes, while holding his mother's hand, he recited something very loudly. It wasn't until they got closer that Xinping heard clearly that the child was reciting something.
"A gentleman who has nothing to eat or to live in peace, who is sensitive to things and careful in his words, has the right way. He can be said to be eager to learn..."
He finished reciting it word for word, then raised his head and said to his mother: "Mom, did I recite it well?"
The woman smiled and said, "Mom, I don't understand. But you just need to study hard and memorize it well."
The child pouted and said, "My father is so knowledgeable, why doesn't my mother understand anything?"
The woman blushed slightly, but immediately said: "It's okay if mother doesn't understand. Your father understands, and you understand too. Xiaosong, you have to study hard. Your father used to be a boss in the capital."
Teacher, if you don't learn well, you will embarrass your father."
The child immediately said: "I know."
As they talked, they walked closer and closer, and now they had stopped at the door of Liu's house. When hearing their conversation, especially the words "Everyone in the capital is a teacher," Chu Yun suddenly felt
Turning to look at Xinping, he said softly: "Miss..."
