Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 241 Extra chapter for the leader! (2/5)

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"This pillar at the door is really interesting!"

In front of Hei's house,
Liu Ji was looking at the man standing in front of the door, and he kept sighing.

Hei Yi, who was returning home exhausted, saw him and couldn't help asking, "Do you think this valve is beautiful?"

She lingered around and blocked his way home.

When Hei Yi thought about the time when he was punished by his father to walk to the government office to do his work because he took his nephew riding a horse in private, he couldn't help but sigh.

It was Ying Pijiang, the active kid, who asked to ride a horse. How could he be blamed for "ignoring the danger to the emperor's grandson and letting a three-year-old child ride a horse?"

"looks good!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ji replied casually and turned to look at the person who came.

When he saw Hei Yi, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Hey!
This brother is really good looking!
The Hei family had been ministers for three generations, and by the time it came to Hei Yi's generation, the temperament and appearance of their descendants had been sufficiently cultivated.

Hei Yi was wearing a simple robe. Standing at the door of his house, the resentment of staying up late at work had not completely dissipated from his face, but at first glance, he still made people think he was "really a handsome man"!
And Liu Ji often
I like to do things based on appearance.

He felt a sense of familiarity as soon as he saw Hei Yi.

So Liu Laosan stepped forward and said to Hei Yi in a very casual manner, "The achievements recorded here are so enviable!"

Hei Yi was always proud of his family's achievements. He was a young man in his twenties. When he heard Liu Ji's praise, he said happily, "If that's the case, you have to work harder and earn such a high position for your descendants in the future!"

Liu Ji laughed and waved his hand, "I earn this?"

"That won't do!"

"Do you think you can't do it?" Hei Yi asked.

"How is that possible!" Liu Ji said confidently, "If I want to start a business, I must start the biggest business in the world!"

"It's OK for this valve to stand in front of other people's doors, but it's far from enough to stand in front of my house!"

Hei Yi just thought he was joking and didn't feel angry.

He asked, "I saw you lingering in front of this house for a long time. Is there something you want to see the owner of this place for?"

Liu Ji patted his chest and said, "It's not 'seeking a meeting', I'm waiting for someone to come out and pick me up!"

"I am a relative of the Hei family. How can I beg for a meeting if I come to visit them now?"

then,

Hei Yi knew his identity.

After receiving the letter, his father and grandfather had already made preparations and naturally told Hei Yi about this matter.

He immediately burst into laughter, "So you are Liu Ji!"

"I thought you were about my age, but you looked like an elder!"

Hei Yi introduced himself to him, "I am a descendant of the Hei family, and Hei Fu is my great-grandfather."

Liu Ji also reacted and laughed, "So we are really brothers!"

"I was wondering why you are so friendly and pleasing to the eye when I first saw you!"

Say this with your mouth,
Liu Ji couldn't help but feel relieved:
The boasting was actually directed at the head of the family.

Fortunately, the other party still remembered our past friendship and was not angry with me.

And seeing the other person's attitude,
He no longer had to worry about the situation that his old father was worried about.

"Has it been reported internally?"

"Nope!"

"Then why would anyone come to greet us?" Hei Yi said, "I thought there was something wrong with the family tradition, and the servants at home were deliberately neglecting the guests!"

"Come with me and I will take you to my ancestors."

Liu Ji naturally would not refuse.

So they went in.

Heihu was still basking in the sun in the yard. Heizhuang was sitting next to his father, adjusting a bow and arrow.

Hei Yi walked over and introduced Liu Ji to his father and grandfather, "This is the guest my family has been waiting for!"

When facing the head of the Hei family, Liu Ji straightened his expression, stepped forward respectfully and saluted the two elders.

Heihu stared at him with his old eyes, then smiled and said, "He really looks like your father!"

"Have you ever met my father?"

"Yes!" Hei Hu said with a grin, "I held him in my arms when he was a child!"

Liu Ji praised him for his long life.

You know, Liu Yan is almost seventy years old.

Can I hug him?
What a rare centenarian this is!

The black household just smiled:
"In terms of age, I am actually only ten years older than your father." "It's just that the Hei family has never had many children and gave birth very late, so their generation status was raised."

Hei Zhuang also said, "I originally thought that you could be friends with my son Yi, but who knew that it seems that you can actually be my friend!"

Liu Ji immediately said, "What's the harm?"

"At worst, we can just discuss our own affairs!"

The three generations of the Hei family were all amused by his words.

After a good laugh, the long-lost friendship between the two families was restored.

Heihu reviewed the past with Liu Ji, then asked his grandson to take Liu Ji to the prepared guest room, and ordered the servants to prepare wine and food to entertain this distinguished guest.

After a while,
Liu Ji then lived in Hei's mansion and soon gained the love of Heihu, the elder.

Heihu said to his children and grandchildren, "Liu Ji will achieve great things in the future."

"He is informal and free-spirited. He makes a lot of friends quickly and learns things very quickly."

"It seems that Liu's will be revived in his hands!"

During this time, Hei Yi had become familiar with Liu Ji and thought that the other party had a kind character and was a person worth associating with. However, his grandfather's evaluation inevitably aroused the young man's arrogance.

So Hei Yi said, "But he is already forty years old, and now he is only a village head. Can he rise to become a minister in the court in the future?"

"How can a man's actions be based solely on age?"

Kuroto stroked his knee and said, "With his character, he can achieve great things as long as the time is right!"

Hei Yi still refused to accept the defeat.

Hei Zhuang told him privately, "Don't argue with your grandfather. He is old and will not change his mind about what he believes in."

"The reason why Liu Ji is praised like this is because he has been idle recently and has learned the art of face reading from the Imperial Censor Zhang Cang."

"He thinks Liu Ji has the appearance of a nobleman, so he said this to you."

"Just cooperate with him and say 'yes, yes, yes'!"

Hei Yi exclaimed, "Grandfather can no longer see clearly, but he can still tell fortunes?"

"That's why I told you, there's no need to refute your grandfather's words!"

Hei Zhuang clapped his hands, indicating that he had no way to deal with his old father.

So Hei Yi let it go and put the matter behind him.

Why bother arguing about the results of a fortune-telling with an old man with spotty eyes?

Even if you win the fight,
Hei Yi felt that he could not escape a beating either.
It would be better to accept my grandfather's evaluation.

And after a while,
The emperor announced that he would go on a new tour.

He wanted to go to the local area to see with his own eyes the actual farming conditions of the people and confirm that the documents sent from the counties were not forged.

Hei Zhuang still wanted to follow the emperor.

Liu Ji accompanied Hei Yi to see him off, and looked from afar at the emperor's carriage and Dingyang Jun, who was riding a tall horse beside him and guarding the emperor.

A breeze blew up the silk curtain on the emperor's carriage, revealing the emperor inside who was dressed in luxurious attire.

Liu Ji couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see clearly:
The guards on both sides had solemn expressions and held weapons in their hands as they protected the emperor's motorcade.

The sun is shining,

With the scene of people around being so respectful that their breathing slowed down,

Liu Ji couldn't help but feel a lot of yearning.

He couldn't help but say: "A real man should be like this!"

Hei Yi just thought that what he said was an expression of emotion when looking at his father, so he did not refute it.

After the emperor's third tour,

Liu Ji could no longer stay in the prosperous city of Xianyang.

He would eventually have to go back and continue to be the head of the Sishui Pavilion.

Heihu took the initiative and gave Liu Ji the bow and arrow that Heihu had made by himself, and also gave him a lot of money.

He said, "A sword that is too gorgeous will be useless if you wear it now. It might even attract the covetousness of others."

"This bow and arrow was made by my son himself. It is of high quality. I would like to give it to you. I hope it can help you hunt the prey you desire."

Liu Ji accepted the elder's gift, put the bow and arrow on his back, and put away the money.

He said, "The friendship between the Liu family and the Hei family will never be severed."

"I will never forget my time in Xianyang. I hope I can repay your kindness in the future."

Kuroto just smiled and said, "I really hope your words don't come true!"

"If my family were to fall to the point where we had to beg you for something in return, the world would be in chaos!"
