Liu Bailu didn't want his father to worry, so he choked up a few times following Liu Junge's words, and said aggrievedly: "My daughter doesn't even know the way, and the third brother left her on the way. My daughter was scared and wronged, so she cried. Father Don't laugh at your daughter."

Liu Junge reached out to take the food box from Liu Bailu's hand, handed her the veiled hat he picked up on the way, and said with a smile, "How old are you still crying? I saw your veiled hat just now, and I lost my temper and threw it away. Lost?"

How could she throw away the veiled cap a hundred meters away?Liu Bailu smiled, and stood up from the left and right: "The third brother is just being naughty, and it's enough for my father to preach a few words. If the punishment is severe, Aunt Han will inevitably cry when I go back. The second brother is in charge of accounts." The best hand in charge of the family's shop, although two people take turns to deliver meals to the father on weekdays, but after all, the third younger brother came more. There is no peace."

Aunt Han is an elder, and Liu Bailu shouldn't be talking about her right and wrong. Aunt Han usually has a good temper, but if she meets Liu Zimo, she will lose all reason. Liu Zimo said that apples grow on the ground Here, she absolutely wanted to dig a basketful of apples out of the soil in the hope that her son would prove what he said was true.

So usually everyone rarely provokes Liu Zimo, since he is a bastard anyway, it doesn't matter whether he is successful or not, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, the family will let him go.

Liu Junge thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It's still thoughtful of you, how about letting father go to the academy to study after returning home? Although our family will not be able to become an official within three generations, we still need to learn some knowledge so that we can be a good man."

Liu Bailu smiled slightly and didn't strike up a conversation, so Liu Junge changed the topic. Liu Bailu approached the barracks with a smile and asked Liu Junge all the way.

When she came close, Liu Bailu put on the veiled hat again, and Liu Junge stuffed her with a waist badge: "I forgot to give it to you before, and I will bring this when I deliver food, or I will be blocked outside."

On the brown mahogany waist plate are the engravings of the Yongding Army's bugle and the flag of General Kang Yibang.At the bottom is a line of small characters: "Groom, Liu Junge*fan."

This waist tag with the word "rice" is Liu Junge's special waist tag for delivering meals. Liu Junge's own waist tag is the same as this one, but without the word "rice" behind it.

Liu Bailu clenched his waist card tightly, and when he entered the barracks, he gave the guard a look and let him go.

The stable is in the northeast corner of the barracks, so it is very convenient to enter and exit.Not far from the stable is the school yard, and behind the stable where the grain and grass are placed is the large kitchen of the barracks.

Grain is the most important thing in the barracks, so in addition to the precarious location, it is also heavily guarded. Although every family member who comes in to deliver food will not be searched, but the same, it is not allowed to enter the stables and the vicinity of the grain .

Here, there is a shed specially set up for the rest of the grooms and the food deliverers.

Liu Bailu walked into the resting shed with a veiled hat. She was a little nervous at first, but after seeing two or three women in the shed, she breathed a sigh of relief, took the food box in Liu Junge's hand and walked to Liu Zimo's place The table began to set meals.

Liu Zimo clasped his arms around his chest and hummed, "Walking so slowly makes my father worry, I'm really ignorant!"

Liu Junge said angrily: "It's because you didn't wait for your sister! How fast she can walk as a woman! If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have been stopped by the guards outside for a long time!"

Liu Zimo said dissatisfied: "Then why doesn't she walk faster! It's so cold and slow, it's really slow! She was told to wear cotton boots when she went out, but she prefers to be clean, and she wears clogs, so The road is so muddy on a cold day, how can you walk in wooden clogs! How can you walk fast!"

Liu Bailu lowered his head and silently put the rice in front of Liu Junge, then ignored Liu Zimo's complaint and turned around to look around.

When she saw a gorgeously dressed girl by the side of the shed, she walked over and slightly knelt down to the girl, and said with a smile, "Girl, where can I get hot water?"

The girl glanced at Liu Bailu and said with a sneer, "It's just a groom, how can there be hot water?"

Liu Bailu frowned and said, "But you have to wash your hands before eating. How can you wash without hot water?"

Impatiently, the girl turned around and tapped Liu Junge who was already eating with her chin: "Look, they have already started eating. What kind of hot water are you looking for? You are so particular, and you don't care about your identity."

Liu Bailu turned his head and looked at the words, didn't he?Liu Junge and Liu Zimo already put the cake on the rice with their chopsticks and started eating.

Liu Bailu frowned slightly, thanked the girl as before, turned around and walked to Liu Junge's side.

Liu Junge looked up at his daughter, and said, "You must be hungry, right? Eat quickly, and go home after eating, your shoes and socks are all wet, otherwise you will have chilblains."

Liu Bailu remained motionless, Liu Junge looked at Liu Bailu's hand, sighed, got up and went to find a large rough pottery bowl, filled some clean snow in a snowdrift not far away, and came back, take a look The small charcoal stove in the food box was still hot, so I put the pottery bowl in the food box. After a while, the snow in the pottery bowl melted.

Liu Junge said to Liu Bailu: "Wash and eat before eating."

Liu Bailu silently took out a handkerchief, wet it in the pottery bowl and took Liu Junge's hand, and gently wiped it for him, and only after Liu Junge was wiped clean did he clean his hands.

Liu Zimo looked at Liu Bailu's actions, and sneered, "Sister, isn't this the prince's and grand master's mansion in our capital, do we need to be so particular about it? Or do you want to marry Mr. Zhou as a concubine? Continue the glory and wealth. Life?"

Having just been inexplicably humiliated by Fang Yu, Zhou Weiqing, and Qi Peiyun and others, Liu Bailu's heart was already filled with anger, and now she was ridiculed by her younger brother again, she scolded Said: "Third brother! Can my reputation be used as a joke? Parents suffer here and suffer, so we as children can enjoy the blessings? The second brother can do business and help the family run a shop. I can embroider and sell some Embroidery, how about you? You have been idle all day long, and now even your sister has started to tease and insult you, right? You have learned the Four Books and Five Classics in the stomach of a dog, haven’t you? Starting tomorrow, you go to the academy for me to study! I will let the eldest brother watch you! Our family does not ask you to gain fame, but you cannot grow up to be a person who does not understand filial piety, etiquette, justice and shame!"

Liu Bailu's temper has always been very good, Liu Zimo seldom sees Liu Bailu losing his temper, but Mrs. Qin took her beloved jewelry and ridiculed her, Liu Bailu would just smile, at most just ignore her with a straight face people.It was the first time in Liu Zimo's memory that he scolded others so angrily today.

He was taken aback by the scolding, and then blushed and said angrily: "Is it also a lady who scolded others like this?"

"Enough!" Liu Junge slapped the table. Liu Bailu was afraid that Aunt Han would make trouble with him when he told Liu Zimo to go to school, so he brought this up and took it on his shoulders. How could Liu Junge not know?Now a sensible daughter and a vexatious son, Liu Junge naturally favors her more: "Elder brother is like father, elder sister is like mother! It is unfilial if you dare to speak to your mother like that! Go back and kneel in front of the ancestral tablet for me." !"

A big unfilial hat was buttoned up, and Liu Zimo was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. He just lowered his head and rolled his eyes, planning to talk to his aunt and talk to Liu Junge after he went back. Just kidding, it's such a cold day, The ancestral tablet is in the warehouse again, there is no earth burning dragon there, it would be strange if he didn't freeze to death!
The movement here did not cause others to look sideways, at most, they turned their heads to continue eating after glancing at this side.

Seeing that Liu Zimo was being honest, Liu Junge said to Liu Bailu, "Sit down and eat quickly."

Liu Bailu agreed with a smile, took off the veil and put it away carefully.

As soon as she took off her veiled hat, the whole shed immediately became clean.But seeing that her face is like a full moon and her skin is smooth, her peach blossom eyes are as calm as water, her nose is high and round and the tip of her nose is round and small, her red lips are a little thin, but the corners of her lips are slightly upturned, this is a picture that people can look at without smiling. What a pleasing face.

Liu Junge served a meal for Liu Bailu, and Liu Bailu stretched out her hands to take it with a smile. With such a smile, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look even more beautiful.

And those hands are slender and fair, and the nails are trimmed just right. Her fingers are slender. If the nails are too long, it will make people feel too enchanting. If they are too short, they will not look good. Her nails are not It was dyed bright red like other women, but it was a very light pink, and the nails were very rounded, which made it very comfortable to look at.

The girl standing on the edge of the shed turned her head inadvertently, and was also attracted by Liu Bailu. This girl was not very beautiful, but she was dressed in clothes and saddles, three parts of her appearance and seven parts of her appearance.

With this rouge and gouache applied to her face, and with the addition of clothes and jewelry, this girl is also extraordinarily bright and charming, coupled with the flying and relaxed attitude between the girl's eyebrows, it adds a bit of color to her.

The girl has always been very confident about her appearance. Seeing Liu Bailu at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She kicked the delicate leather riding boots on the ground. She turned around and strode to Liu Bailu's table beside her. Sitting down, he asked in a daze: "What's your name? Where do you live? How do you put on your makeup?"

No one has ever used such an opening sentence to talk to herself. Liu Bailu was stunned for a moment, and after just a few breaths, the girl became impatient. She stood up and said, "Just don't want to meet me." , I know that you scholars look down on us businessmen! What happened to the businessmen? Businessmen also earn money with their own hands! Without businessmen, what do you eat, drink and wear? Do you use those imported rouge perfumes? Have you seen a clock? There are no merchants. Where do you print your books? Where does your paper come from? Do you know where the brushes are the best? Do you know where the inkstones are the best? Is it the most delicate?"

The girl said that she raised her chin high at the end, and looked at the crowd proudly. These words were used by brother Qi to refute a scholar, but he was speechless.
