Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 31

Tu Niu'er opened the way, Wang Fengshi accompanied, Liang Xiao was embraced and entered the door.

Hu Lai was dressed in brocade clothes, holding a long sword in his hand, standing at the door, his chin raised slightly, and his eyes were full of arrogance.If it weren't for the scars on his face that haven't faded, he could be considered imposing.

Seeing Hu Lai, Tu Niu'er unconsciously puffed up his chest, like two fighting roosters.It's just that Hu Lai is dressed in brocade clothes, like a little rooster with bright feathers, and the tea cow is tattered, like a little rooster that has lost its feathers.Fortunately, they both have injuries on their faces, so they are quite a good match.

"The wound on your face hasn't healed yet?" Tu Niu'er preemptively struck. "There's nothing wrong with it, right? You can't find a daughter-in-law if you lose your appearance."

"To each other." Hu Lai retorted, not to be outdone. "You can't find a wife if you don't lose your face."

Everyone burst into laughter.Tu Niu'er was furious, clenched his fists, and was about to argue with Hu Lai, when Hu Lai sneered and glanced at Liang Xiao. "I'm here to accompany Liu Jun today. I don't want to fight with you, so as not to hurt the friendship of my colleagues and make it difficult to get along with each other in the future."

Tu Niu'er snorted and raised his head high, almost spraying booger on Hu Lai's face.

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

My old lady Liang and Liu Ling were sitting opposite each other, talking happily.Lei was seated under Liu Ling.Several boxes were placed on the corridor under the hall, and the lids of the boxes were all opened, revealing the rich gifts inside.Seeing Liang Xiao, he shook his head again and again.This is too careless, can't we be more reserved, counting the gifts face to face, how petty it is.

This is actually where the open mind of the Han Dynasty lies.The gift was generous enough, the host had face, and the guest seemed to be generous, so I wish everyone could see it.They didn't have the secretive thoughts of Liang Xiao.

Seeing Liang Xiao coming in, Liu Ling bowed with a smile and waved his hands, "Xiao'er, come quickly, Mr. Liu has been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and pay respects, and I hope Mr. Liu will forgive you for your negligence."

Liang Xiao stepped forward, saluted with a long salute, and said with a smile: "I've been hanging around outside for a few days, my clothes are disheveled, please allow me to wash up before you come to accompany me again."

Liu Ling looked at Liang Xiao who was covered in dirt, and nodded with a smile.Liang Xiao turned around and entered his room, and called again: "Mum, where are my clothes?"

Liang Yu apologized to Liu Ling, got up and walked into the room, closed the door behind her, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong? Mr. Liu has already visited twice, how could you be so rude."

"Grandmother, don't mess with Mr. Liu." When Liang Xiao pulled Liang Ma into a corner, he whispered, "He is from Huainan, and he may have something to do with the King of Huainan. Wouldn't it be good for us to get involved with them?"

"What happened to King Huainan?" Liang Yu was puzzled. "The king of Huainan is the uncle of today's son, a world-renowned university student, and he is eager to seek talents. If he really appreciates you and invites you as a guest, it is a good opportunity for you to become an official. Why do you refuse?"

Liang Xiao suddenly felt a headache.He really couldn't explain it to his wife.My old lady is right, in this era, being a guest of the princes and kings is a way to become an official, and it is a relatively high-level way, at least better than being an official or joining the army.

For ordinary people, the kingdom, like the court, is a lord who can be loyal.Before the Wu-Chu Rebellion, the kingdom and the court were equal. Even if the status of the kingdom's officials has declined, it is still a rare opportunity for people like Liang Xiao.

Being a guest in the palace is a shortcut to promotion no matter whether you will be an official in the palace or be recommended to the court in the future.For Liang Yu, who wholeheartedly hoped that his son would become a prominent man and be appointed as a marquis and general, this was a rare opportunity.She is not Liang Xiao, so of course it is impossible to know the final outcome of King Huainan, and she doesn't even know that the current King Huainan has evil intentions.

Liang Xiao couldn't tell her, mother, I know that the king of Huainan will rebel in more than ten years.If I really want to say this, I guess my old lady will have to carry a chicken again, and invite Grandma Chu to chant a spell to exorcise evil spirits.

Liang Xiao was so anxious that his head was sweating.Liang Yu was puzzled and worried. "Xiao'er, what are you worried about? Is it because you are afraid that you will not be strong enough, and it will be difficult to get ahead after entering the mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly. "Yes, mother, look, I'm not yet an adult, and I've just started learning archery. It's time to settle down and cultivate my character. How can I give up halfway? Besides, although my father is not here, I have Master, even if you go to the Huainan Palace, you should at least discuss it with Lord Huan. Don’t you think so?”

"It makes sense." Liang Yu looked at her son in relief. "In the face of such an opportunity, you can still keep calm and don't expect to respect your teacher. My mother likes it very much. How about this, you go out to meet Liu Jun, and after all the etiquette, my mother will just decline for you. .Since Liu Jun is the envoy of Huainan King, he will not be able to force others to make things difficult for him."

Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly, and then took care of him: "Since Mr. Liu did not reveal the identity of the Huainan Palace, my mother pretended not to know. After all, it is illegal to cross the border without permission. If someone finds out, my family will not be able to get rid of it."

Liang Yu smiled, and patted the back of Liang Xiao's head lovingly. "Xiao'er, you've finally become sensible. A man should be upright and upright in his life, and he should promise a thousand gold, but he should also be considerate and think twice before doing it. Don't be tempted to let it hurt you in the future, and you will regret it later."

Liang Xiao chuckled twice, Liang Nai pushed the door and went out, Liang Xiao washed and changed by himself.When he came to the hall again, my old lady had already expressed her intention to decline with Liu Ling. Liu Ling had some regrets in his eyes, but he didn't force it. He just said that he would come to visit again when Mr. Huan came back, and then he would see Mr. Huan's opinion. .

Feeling relieved, Liang Xiao sent Liu Ling and Lei out of the gate.In front of everyone, Liu Ling said with a smile: "Mr. Liang devoted himself to martial arts and was not moved by riches and honors, which is admirable. I am not talented, I hope to find a good companion as a friend, and I will come back in three months to ask for advice."

Liang Xiao was taken aback, are you still here?
The neighbors watching at the door couldn't help but praise.Although Liang Xiao refused the invitation and could not get rich immediately, there was still a chance.More importantly, it is a very face-saving thing to refuse an invitation.Han people seek wealth and honor, but at the same time they appreciate people who are not moved by wealth and honor.Seeking wealth is something many people can do, but it is even more rare to be indifferent to fame and wealth. Many people even deliberately refuse invitations to raise their names.

Liang Xiao's refusal of the invitation was originally to avoid disaster, but by accident, he became a gentleman indifferent to fame and fortune.

Hearing the admiration from everyone, Hu Lai's expression was very complicated, as if he had eaten a piece of yellow lotus and felt pain in his heart, but he couldn't spit it out, so he could only swallow it with tears in his eyes.

It is human nature to give up fame for real gain, especially for the poor.Hu Lai never expected that Liang Xiao, a poor man, would give up this god-given opportunity and would rather gain a false name.In this way, his self-satisfaction has become a villain's success, and being seen by these poor ghosts in Qingyun, how can he be dissatisfied with the propaganda of Guangling City?It will be even more difficult to attack him in the future.Killing a rogue boy, few people will pay attention, killing a gentleman who is indifferent to fame and fortune for no reason, will discredit the Hu family.

Liang Xiao, you are ruthless!
