Chapter 071 Dongfang Shuo

readx;

In the autumn of the third year of Jianyuan, July, the south of Chang'an City.

A gust of wind blew across the melon field, and the green melon leaves swayed in the wind, revealing the white and green melons. The melons are about to ripen, and the faint sweet fragrance wafts with the wind, making people intoxicated.

In the middle of the melon field, outside a melon shed, Liang Xiao's legs were slightly separated, he pulled his bow and shot the last arrow at the rectangular target eighty steps away.

The feather arrow left the string and whistled away. The bow string had not stopped trembling, and the feather arrow had already hit the bull's eye.

Liang Xiao lowered his arms, adjusted his breathing, and his face calmed down. After a while, he turned the bow to Tu Niuer who had walked out of the shed and began to jog along the melon field, relaxing his body while running.

Shooting five hundred sunny days and five hundred nights is a daily course that Liang Xiaolei can't beat. Relaxing after practicing arrows is even more of his perseverance.

Tu Niuer took off the bowstring, ran to the target again, and took off the arrow from the target. He counted, thought for a while, and shouted: "A Xiao, I've hit seven more arrows today than yesterday, and I'm still five less arrows..." He calculated by his fingers, but unfortunately he had calculated for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the result.

Liang Xiao shouted in the distance: "It's still 80% less than five arrows."

"Oh." Tu Niuer laughed twice, scratched his head embarrassedly. He put away the arrows and went back to the melon shed to organize them. In addition to practicing martial arts, he also had to be responsible for helping Liang Xiao repair the bows and arrows.

Liang Xiao ran along the melon field for two laps, stopped, walked up the dirt slope next to him, dancing his arms and moving his body, while looking at Chang'an City in the distance, with a calm expression on his face.

It has been more than half a year since he arrived in Chang'an. In half a year, he still has not found any way. If it weren't for the owner of this melon field, he was from Guangling, he would not even have a place to settle down. Even so, he still couldn't make ends meet and had to rely on the money given to him by Liu Ling.

My mother, Mama Liang, wanted to return to her old business and weaving brocades to make a living, but was stopped by Liang Xiao. Double-sided brocade is very expensive, but weavers can't make much money. When they first arrived, those merchants would definitely try their best to lower the price. Once they were not convinced, they might have a conflict with some powerful person and cause unnecessary trouble.

A gentleman acts when he sees the opportunity. Before the time comes, he should not act rashly, so as not to cause trouble. The old lady Dou is still here, and even the emperor has to wait. Why can't he wait? He can't wait, but he has to wait.

Liang Xiao asked my mother to stay at home. Except for washing and cooking, she taught Tu Niuer and Li Rongqing to recognize words. These two people are basically illiterate and can't even write their own names. Otherwise, Li Rongqing wouldn't have known that her tombstone had been changed. They are all the people Liang Xiao trusts the most, and if they can't read, there will be many inconveniences. Taking advantage of the lot of free time, Liang Xiao asked my mother to literate them.

He also seized the time to read, to be precise, listen to books - to my mother's oral narration. Mama Liang had never read books seriously, but had been enlightened, had read some Mongolian books such as "Cangjie Pian", and some poems and essays, but it was not systematic, but it was enough to teach Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao spent most of his time practicing arrows. In half a year, he had increased his range to 80 steps, and his hit rate was nearly 80%. For ordinary people, his archery skills were already considered clever. However, he did not dare to relax at all. He knew very well that his archery skills were still quite far from passing through the glory of a hundred steps, and it could even be said to be a world of difference.

Whether he can reach that step depends on whether he has that talent, and whether he is hard enough. Both are indispensable.

However, what made him feel relieved was that after several months of hard practice, the heat flow on his arms had reached behind his ears, and his hearing had improved significantly. It was difficult to hide the sound of insects within five steps and the sound of footsteps within fifty steps. Even with Li Rongqing's skills, it was difficult to dive within ten steps without being noticed by him.

From this we can see that the boy’s skill is still very important.

"Husband, Husband..." Li Rongqing raised her arm and shouted in the distance.

Liang Xiao turned his head and was surprised. A big man stood beside Li Rongqing. Li Rongqing was nearly seven feet tall, and he was already tall among the Han Dynasty women, but standing next to this person, she looked like a dwarf. Liang Xiao estimated that this guy must be more than two meters, and according to the Han rule, he could be at least nine feet.

Could it be that Yao Ming had traveled over? Liang Xiao was thinking about it while going down the hillside and walked to the edge of the melon field.

"It's..."

The big man smiled slightly, revealing his neat and white teeth, which looked a bit like a salesman. He bowed casually: "The Qi man, Dongfang Shuo, met a beautiful woman on the road, and wanted to travel, but he didn't expect that the beautiful woman would have his husband, so he came to discuss it. Mr. Liang wanted to get a beautiful woman. If Mr. Liang could give up love, Shuo would pay a lot of money. If Mr. Liang was worried that no one would serve the pillow and mat, Shuo would have a delicate man, and his appearance could be praised. I hope to leave Liang to repay his good wishes."

Liang Xiao was stunned and realized for a while. This was too nonsense. He finally met a legendary figure who wanted to change his wife. Damn, no matter how elegant you said, you are a shameless scum.

Liang Xiao lowered his face and gave Li Rongqing a wink. "Go to help my mother cook, don't cook too much. There are no guests worth entertaining today."

Li Rongqing was puzzled and was about to speak, but Liang Xiao glared at him and had to go.

Dongfang Shuo was still smiling and not angry at all, as if he didn't hear the indifference in Liang Xiao's words.

"Mr. Dongfang, please come back. Although Liang Xiao is poor, he has no idea of ​​selling his concubine. There is no way to start the exchange. Please don't mention it again, so as not to hurt the harmony."

Dongfang Shuo did not think it was offensive, but became curious. "Did Mr. Liang not have enough fun to get this beauty? If so, Shuo could wait and come again?"

"You don't have to wait." Liang Xiao said angrily. He was very depressed. He lived in Chang'an for half a year and finally had a visit from a guest. He was such an uncontrollable guy. No wonder he was regarded as a funny clown despite his reputation. "When he entered my Liang family, he was a member of my Liang family, and he was a ghost of my Liang family after he died, and he would never go with others."

"Hey, why should Mr. Liang be angry, be fond of the old and the common human nature. Just a maid, why should he be stingy with things outside of him from now on?" Dongfang Shuo took his long legs and followed him, and two steps lower than Liang Xiao. "Mr. Liang must be planning a future when he came to Chang'an. Although Shuo was not talented, he was with the emperor. If Mr. Liang was generous, Shuo would like to recommend Mr. Liang in front of the emperor. Isn't that beautiful? Why should he destroy his future for a concubine?"

Liang Xiao was angry and was about to say a few ruthless words, but he drove him out, but suddenly he had an idea and said, "This is a bad word. Maids and concubines are also human beings. How can they be compared with things by their parents? Nobility and humbleness are just things in front of you. You are imprisoned in the morning and ministers of the emperor in the evening. You can still be rekindled, let alone a person. If you give your wife and get an official position, you will be rich and noble, and you will be disdainful."

Dongfang Shuo blinked and suddenly smiled.

"It's interesting and interesting. I heard that a young man from Wu Chu came to Chang'an. Although he was not knowledgeable, he had profound knowledge. When he saw him today, he was indeed different. Come on, let's talk about it, and see if you have nothing to say."

"Wait." Liang Xiao reached out and stopped Dongfang Shuo who rolled his sleeves and rolled his arms. "Who did you hear me?"

"A Huainan Guest named Deng Guobin is looking for you everywhere."
