The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 649 Farewell
After a long while, Liu Ji finally calmed down his thoughts and calmed down his mood. He shouted, "Someone come."

Jingshu walked in, twisting her waist and smiling tenderly, with a bath towel already prepared in her hand. Now Liu Ji no longer felt awkward. He wanted to learn and become familiar with how to be a superior person.

The world is so cruel that we will never see the day of equality.

Liu Ji showed his body openly and allowed himself to be served. While the beauty was wiping him, Liu Ji looked at the beauty in front of him. She had a beautiful face, delicate makeup, obedience, and a graceful figure. Her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, and her eyes were full of tenderness. This was a beauty he had never seen before.

No matter how good his character is at his age, he can't control the boiling of blood and the fire in his chest, which naturally has external signs.

The beauty saw it clearly, but she just smiled slightly. Although her pretty face blushed, she continued to work. To be honest, if there was no reaction at all, she would really be desperate.

The carefully trained beauty did not make a fuss and served him very attentively, wiping all the water stains on his body clean. She even playfully touched him with her fingertips, making Liu Ji blush.

Jing Shu looked at Liu Ji's reaction, smiled and covered her lips, and whispered in Liu Ji's ear: "Master, you are so strong. I grew up in Madam's house since I was a child and have never had sex with anyone. Today, please have mercy on me, Master."

Liu Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he remained calm and composed.

This made Jingshu think more highly of Liu Ji. Although she had no say in her own destiny, she also hoped to follow a man who was reliable.

It is not easy to go with the flow, and if you go into the gutter, then you will be helpless.

This distinguished guest of the county magistrate seemed to be of ordinary origin, but he was handsome and dignified, and a simple contact revealed that he had an extraordinary character and was not a bad person.

Jingshu was actually somewhat relieved that she met such a talented young man.

After wiping it clean, Jing Shu put on pajamas for Liu Ji and said softly, "Master, the hangover soup is already hot. Master must have drunk too much wine today. In order to avoid missing important things tomorrow, please drink it."

Liu Ji nodded, and Jingshu took the clogs and helped Liu Ji put them on.

The next day, when the cocks had just crowed and it was still dark, Liu Ji had already gotten up from his comfortable bed. Looking at the sleeping Jing Shu, a hint of tenderness flashed in Liu Ji's eyes. He got up quietly without even waking up the two maids.

He washed and dressed carefully, took care of his appearance, went out of the room and did a simple set of boxing in the yard, and his whole state was adjusted to the best.

When Zhang Er sent someone to invite him, Liu Ji had breakfast with Zhang Er and then hurried to the guesthouse to see Zhu off.

Zhang Er looked up to Liu Ji even more highly. He thought that this young man, who had never experienced much eating and playing, was not addicted to alcohol and sex. He really had an extraordinary character.

You can tell at a glance that although he ate, he was very restrained. Now he is full of energy and vigor, with a rosy and healthy complexion. He got up early in the morning and was already ready and waiting when I invited him. With this kind of character, he is destined to be of great use! He is destined to have a bright future.

The most difficult thing for people is to use reason to control their desires and instincts.

The Zhu family was also ready to set off. Zhang Er and Liu Ji drove the Zhu family out of the city, and everyone was reluctant to leave along the way.

It was not until they were thirty miles out of the city that Zhang Er and Liu Ji stopped after the Zhu family insisted again and again.

Zhang Er once again presented a generous gift: "Mr. Zhu, after sending you a thousand miles away, we must finally say goodbye. After today's farewell, I can only miss you from afar. I only hope that you will have time to visit my humble home again in your busy schedule in the future. I will die without regrets."

"This is a small gift, prepared by Er and Jidi. It is just some special products of Wei State. Although it is not as good as the delicacies from the mountains and seas of Daqin, it is also a small token of our appreciation to you, sir. Please accept it, sir. Do not refuse it."

Zhu Jia hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, "Since it is the intention of the two brothers, I can only refuse it with disrespect."

Zhang Er was all smiles and filled with joy.

Zhu Jia took out a small package he had prepared, handed it to Liu Ji, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is a meeting gift from me. I delayed giving it to you until today, don't blame me. Hahaha."

Liu Ji felt a bit heavy when he took it over, and was about to refuse, but Zhu Jia frowned and said, "Don't refuse. How can I not accept something that my elder brother gave to me?"

"Brother"

Liu Ji's eyes were already red. He had been hanging around in Peifeng County and had also wandered around Xuzhou, but no one had ever valued him so much.

His father often blamed him for not doing his job properly, his second brother focused on farming, his eldest brother died young, his eldest sister-in-law looked down on him, and now he is in his twenties and still has not started a family.

To this day, the only family who treats him so well, values, respects and supports him is the Zhu family.

Even the son of his father's old friend was very enthusiastic towards him because of his brother's kindness. Otherwise, he would not stay in Waihuang for long and would have to go back in disgrace.

Liu Ji held the package in both hands, unable to say a word. Zhu Jia gently patted the back of Liu Ji's hand and said with a smile: "In this package there is also a letter from my brother to you, and a token from my family. If you have a token from my family, you are my friend. If you need help from me, I will definitely help you."

Zhu Jia smiled and sighed, "Brother, you are young now, but you are not an ordinary person. You must go to Xianyang when you have the chance. I will do my best to be a good host. I will wait for you in Xianyang!"

Liu Ji almost burst into tears and nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Jia looked at Zhang Er again and said with a smile, "I am really unworthy of the kindness of Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang is a sincere gentleman, righteous and generous. If you don't mind, I will be so generous as to call you my brother." Zhang Er was delighted and replied, "Brother, you are right. It is my great honor to be your brother. Please accept my greetings, sir!"

Zhang Er bowed, and Zhu Jia hurriedly supported him, saying repeatedly: "No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite."

Zhu Jia continued, "Brother, you have an extraordinary temperament and a handsome appearance. It is a waste of your talent in this small Waihuang County. You must know that there is a vast sky for you to achieve great things."

"My great king is a virtuous saint, and he has the world in his heart. Brother, you should also make plans early."

Zhang Er was even happier and said respectfully, "Brother, you are right. I have always thought about my future and have always admired the Holy Lord, but I have never had the chance to meet him."

Zhu Jia smiled and said, "I have the good fortune to meet you two this time. Isn't this destiny?"

As he spoke, Zhu Jia took out a bronze plate from his arms and handed it to Zhang Er, who hurriedly took it with both hands.

"This is a token from my brother's family. If I meet someone from my Great Qin officialdom, I dare not mention someone too high, but for ordinary matters, I will still give you some face by mentioning my brother's name."

Zhu Jia said with a smile: "Bo Jing, when the world changes drastically, you must seize the opportunity and never hesitate. Considering Bo Jing's character, the position of county magistrate is still too much of a waste of his talent."

Zhang Er happily replied: "Thank you for your support, brother. I understand!"

Zhu Jia looked at Zhang Er and Liu Ji and said with a friendly smile: "Both brothers are outstanding people. You must have a bright future. As the saying goes, many hands make light work. When you go out, you rely on your friends."

"We are lucky to be brothers. This is a fate given by God. Today's separation is only a short time. We will meet again in the future. I hope we can work together on the same stage."

Zhang Er said solemnly: "I am looking forward to that day!"

Liu Ji nodded repeatedly and said emotionally: "Brother, please be safe on your journey. I will definitely go to Xianyang to find you."

Zhu Jia laughed loudly: "It's settled then. Brother will be waiting for you in Xianyang."

Zhang Er bowed and said: "I hope you can realize your ambitions in the court and assist the wise emperor in achieving his grand plan. I wish you a smooth career and all goes well. We will meet again in the future."

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

The Zhu family's carriage moved slowly forward. Zhang Er and Liu Ji stayed where they were, watching them from afar, and only turned back when they could no longer see the convoy.

After the Zhu family left, Tian Zhong rode his horse to the side of the Zhu family's carriage and asked in a low voice: "Foster father, there is something I don't understand."

Zhu Jia opened the car window and said with a smile: "Zhong'er, do you want to ask why your father values ​​these two so much?"

Tanaka nodded.

Zhu Jia laughed and said, "Of these two, Zhang Er is the lord of a county and has a great family behind him, so you can understand why he wants to make friends with him. As for Liu Ji, he is just born in poverty, has average martial arts skills, and is not very talented, so he is really not worth mentioning. That's what you think, right?"

Tanaka nodded again.

Zhu Jia's expression instantly became serious: "Zhong'er, you know that you should rely on your friends when you go out."

"But you don't seem to understand how friends come about."

"Everyone knows that when it comes to making friends, the higher the official rank, the better. But how can you make friends with those nobles?"

"If everything you have is worthless to the other person, then what qualifications do you have to make friends with them?"

"Even if there is a little friendship, if something critical really happens, will the other party take any risks for you?"

"You give those nobles some money and goods, and have a few meals with them. Is this what you call a friend?"

"Remember, if you want to have a reliable friend, first you have to be valuable. Second, you have to give something to the other person and make him/her owe you a favor. Don't think of buying him/her off with petty gains. Those who can be bought off with petty gains are not of much value either."

"But how can those nobles have so many things for you to do? What virtue or ability do you have to make them accept your favor and remember your kindness?"

"How can there be so many random fruit pickings in the world?"

“If you want to make friends with a rich and powerful person, you should not try to curry favor with him after he has become a high and mighty person. Instead, you should make friends with him when he is still in a low position, help him, and gain his future friendship.”
