Regarding Pan Jun's unhelpful behavior, Liu Jing could only hold his nose and admit it. Anyway, the wedding ceremony had already taken more than a month, so why not wait five more days?

When the day of the welcome was almost over, Deng You went to Biyeye in Huishui to meet Liu Jing. He was accompanied by dozens of cars with heavy loads. Those who didn't know it thought it was Deng's dowry.

As soon as Liu Jing got the news, he immediately rushed outside to greet him.

Deng You, wearing a high crown and a long-sleeved robe, got out of the car. He was seven feet seven inches tall, with severe facial features and a beard that was two feet long, hanging down on his chest. He was very majestic.

Deng You looked at Liu Jing with stern eyes. The latter had grown in stature over the years and had caught up with him. He was tall and tall, handsome in appearance, calm and confident. Deng You had seen countless young talents, but he could compete with him. Compared with Liu Jing, there are only a few. I was filled with emotion for a while, but in more than three years, why has Liu Jing changed so much?

Liu Jing's expression was natural, he bowed respectfully and said, "Jing, please meet Mr. Deng."

Deng You could no longer maintain his serious attitude and laughed and said, "Zhongda still calls me Deng Jun?"

Liu Jing had almost read through the "Book of Rites" recently, and he was well prepared for this. He replied: "The Book of Rites says: 'The wedding is welcomed by the son-in-law in person, and is seen by the aunt. The aunt inherits the son and gives it to the son-in-law.' Now." Jing has not yet given the personal greeting ceremony, so he does not dare to change his title in advance."

Deng You said with a smile: "Since Zhongda is willing to abide by etiquette, then it's up to you."

Liu Jing suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "In the past, Deng Jun was very polite, but now are you satisfied with Jing Shang?" Last year, Deng You sent Zheng Dang to attend Liu Yuan's funeral to present funeral money and hardware. Liu Jing had just traveled through time at that time, so he didn't feel that If there was anything wrong, he just thought it was Deng's extravagance. However, after being reminded by his sister-in-law Lai Ci and reading some books, he realized that there was something wrong with Deng's move.

Five kilograms of gold is far beyond the scope of funeral money in this world. "Dongguan Han Ji" records: "Ruan Kuang was the prefect of Nanyang during the Yongping period of Emperor He. After his death, his former official mailed Zhu Hui to send funeral money." Three kilograms of gold are ridiculed by the world." Giving three kilograms of gold was ridiculed by the world, let alone five kilograms of gold. Deng's move obviously had other intentions.

Deng You couldn't help but smile. He did have some other ideas about this matter. He didn't mind Liu Jing's small "offense". He nodded and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied."

Liu Jing smiled and introduced the people around him to Deng You. Lai Gong had already visited Deng's house twice, so there was no need to waste any words. He mainly introduced Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun, Wang Can and others.

Deng You did not despise Wang Can because of his appearance and frailty, but praised him highly. Based on this alone, he was a thousand times better than his two sons Deng Chong and Deng Lang, even Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun. , and have not been ignored.

Watching the dozens of oxcarts brought by Deng You filing in, Liu Jing looked puzzled. Deng You said, "These are the things you mentioned in your letter before."

Liu Jing couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to lift the curtain of a calf carriage, and sure enough he saw stacks of undergarments stacked inside the carriage.

Ru means short clothes, armor means iron armor. Ru armor is short armor that reaches waist level. It is simple in shape and can only protect the chest and back. It lacks the protection of thighs, shoulders and arms. It is the standard of the Han army. armor.

The late Jizhou famous scholar Cui Shi said in his book "Political Commentary": "The reason why all Han people can control the Hu is because of the power of the crossbow and the armor."

It was extremely difficult for Liu Jing to obtain armor in Changsha, but for the Deng family in Nanyang, it was a piece of cake. Nanyang has been famous for its iron smelting industry since the Warring States Period, and the Han Dynasty was extremely prosperous.

The iron industry is the best in the world. The Xinye Deng family not only has its own iron mines, but also has its own iron and leather workers, and can make its own armor.

Liu Jing lowered the curtains and turned to look at Deng You.

Deng You said slowly: "There are a total of 100 pieces of armor, 200 pieces of halberds and spears, 100 knives, and 200 pieces of cowhide."

Liu Jing was inexplicably happy. These sophisticated equipments were enough to arm a five-hundred-person opera, and their value could not be measured by money. Even if they had money, they could not buy them.

Of course Liu Jing would not accept Deng You's gift in vain. He went north this time and brought several ships of goods, especially grain. Now Nanyang has been war-torn and is full of refugees from Guanzhong, Yan and Henan. Food is absolutely hard to come by.

Currency is stronger than gold. After all, people can live without gold, but they cannot live without food.

Both parties get what they need, and no one suffers.

On that day, Weng's son-in-law was having a very lively conversation and everyone was very drunk. Deng You spent the night in a separate business.

The next day when Deng You returned home, Liu Jing once again came to his twelve-foot-long ship to drink and have fun with Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou and others.

After he arrived in Xinye, he was in a strange environment and was very bored. On weekdays, he would either have drinks with Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun, and Wang Can, or have fun with Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Liu Zhu, and Liu Liang, either at Deng's villa or in Zhouchuan.

Above, it seemed like there was nothing else to do except drink.

A few people were sitting in the high poop tower and could look at the scenery on both sides of the Feishui River. Unfortunately, it was early winter, when everything was dying, so there was no good scenery.

But most of the people sitting there are rough people, and they don't care about the scenery, as long as they have wine.

With the wine in full swing, everyone was in high spirits. Ma Zhou raised his glass and chanted "Xia Ke Xing". This poem was specially written by Liu Jing for him and Cai Sheng. It is now well known in Changsha that every banquet is held without reciting three poems.

Never give up after five times.

Everyone on the boat did not know that while they were reciting poems, a carved and beautifully decorated barge was running parallel to the big ship. On the deck of the barge stood a man in splendid clothes. When he accidentally heard "

"Xia Ke Xing", he was immediately attracted. Every sentence of this poem could cause his mood to fluctuate.

This poem should be derived from "Zhuangzi: Swordsmanship", praising chivalrous people, and then introduces the incident of Lord Xinling stealing amulets to save Zhao to further praise chivalrous people, especially the last four lines: "Even if the bones of a chivalrous person die, I will not be ashamed of being a hero in the world."

Who can write your Excellency, Baishou Taixuan Sutra?" He couldn't help but cheer loudly.

This person's voice was so loud that Liu Jing and others couldn't help but crane their necks and look sideways.

"I'm sorry... I heard you reciting poems, and I felt happy. I couldn't help it for a moment, and I disturbed your drinking pleasure. Don't blame me. I don't know what the name of this poem is? Who wrote it?"

Although this man spoke politely, his appearance and temperament had nothing to do with that of a literati. He was in his twenties and thirties, about seven feet tall, with bright eyes and a rough look on his face. He carried a sword and a halberd.

Very spirited.

This person does not seem to be a local. His accent sounds like he belongs to the Shu region. Shu region? Liu Jing raised his voice and said: "Above the river, people come and go, so why bother? I am Liu Jing, courtesy name Zhongda, a native of Changsha. This poem

It's called "Xia Ke Xing", and it's my work."

"It turns out that I am Liu Zhongda, Liu Jun, who is famous in Jingzhou. It's a pleasure to meet you." Although he is based in Nanyang, he pays great attention to Xiangyang. He has heard of Liu Zhongda's name many times. "I am Gan Ning, whose courtesy name is Xingba. His family has lived in Nanyang.
