The Three Great Han Dynasties: Awaken Liu Bei with a scolding; you weave mats and sell sandals.

Youzhou, Zhuo County, Zhuo Commandery.

In the market.

"Isn't this the young master of Liu Gongcao's family? He's actually weaving straw sandals. And he really does have long ears and an unusual appearance."

"It really is that young master Liu. Otherwise, I'd like to take a few pairs as a token of my support for Lord Liu, the Registrar."

"Do you have a death wish? Do you really think Young Master Liu is selling straw sandals? Such a lowly thing, if done, could easily affect his future career. How will Young Master Liu ever be able to serve as an official again?"

Weaving mats and selling shoes were considered lowly occupations, and were traditionally looked down upon by the gentry of the time.

Gradually, the crowd around the stall dispersed.

Standing in front of the stall, Liu Bei puffed out his cheeks, his long, thin ears twitched slightly, and he looked indignant, but his hands moved nimbly.

He casually grabbed a few pieces of straw rope, wrapped them around his palm, and easily made a pair of straw sandals.

The stall not only had straw sandals, but also straw hats, raincoats and other everyday items, which shows that he was indeed exceptionally talented in this field.

"What about poetry, books, rites, the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Gongyang Commentary, the ancient text of the Book of Documents, the Rites of Zhou, the Zuo Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals, the New Text School of Confucianism, the Old Text School of Confucianism, and even the great Confucian scholar Lu Zhi as a teacher..."

"So annoying, so annoying!"

Liu Bei grumbled indignantly, "If he wants to study, why doesn't he go himself? If he can't be a wandering knight, weaving straw sandals is more enjoyable than reading those tattered books."

"I, Liu Bei, would rather die than study."

As they were talking.

He wove several more pairs of straw sandals with his hands, his smooth and flowing movements drawing admiration from many vendors in the handicraft industry.

When Liu Bei looked up again, a young man suddenly appeared in front of the stall. He was dressed in a short brown cloth, with bright and spirited eyes. He was about the same age as Liu Bei, but his features showed a maturity beyond his years. He was looking at Liu Bei with a helpless expression.

"Xuande, why didn't you go to the private school today? Did the teacher lose his temper again?"

"read?"

Liu Bei snorted, his voice full of disdain, and then said contemptuously, "Of course I'd skip class."

He looked at Xu Shu with disdain, as if he were looking at a former brother who was now a traitor.

"Xu Yuanzhi, you have betrayed our ideals! You once said you wanted to roam the world with your sword, but now you've been fooled by this old man's few words and are following him to study. I, Liu Xuande, despise you."

"Give up, Xu Yuanzhi."

Liu Bei turned his head away, sulking, but his hands didn't stop weaving straw sandals. "At worst, I'll run away from home. Even if I starve, thirst, or die of poverty outside, I will never go back with you."

Seeing that Xu Shu remained silent, Liu Bei's previously confident heart tightened suddenly. He continued to feign toughness, saying slowly and deliberately, "You...you're not loyal!"

Xu Shu sighed and said with a wry smile, "If I were truly disloyal, Xu Yuanzhi wouldn't have come to inform you today. Xuande, do you know that just half an hour ago, your father returned from the prefecture? I presume the teacher has already informed you of your skipping class."

"What? The old man's back?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei lost all his previous bravado, stammered, and trembled violently.

He looked panicked and hurriedly looked around the market.

Just then, a gasp rippled through the crowd on a street corner.

Someone shouted with a beaming smile, "It's Lord Liu Gongcao!"

"Liu Gongcao actually came to our market. It's such an honor for us."

"Lord Liu Gongcao, are you here to see the young master? I'll show you the way; it's not far ahead."

Thank you.

A steady voice rang out.

The man leading the way looked delighted and pinched his cheek. A sharp pain shot through him, but his face was full of excitement: "Lord Liu praised me. It's actually true!"

Upon seeing that someone had received praise from Liu Gongcao, the merchants and passersby in the market spontaneously surrounded Liu Bei's straw sandal stall, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Then, everyone made way for the newcomer.

Seeing this, Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei with a hint of respect and said, "Xuande, you are now a caged beast."

Liu Bei was about to refute.

However, at this moment, the figure of the person who had come slowly walked up to him.

The newcomer had a handsome face, was gentle and refined, had slightly long earlobes, wore a moon-white robe, and exuded an extraordinary air, subtly revealing a sense of nobility.

At this moment, a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth, carrying a barely perceptible hint of coldness: "Truly, what a fine son of mine, Liu Hong! Liu Xuande, you certainly have a good interest in weaving mats and selling shoes here?"

Each word struck my heart like a heavy hammer.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei clenched his fists, his face flushed, and he wanted to resist, but in the end he could not overcome the power of his father.

"Father, can't I stop going to school?"

Liu Bei looked unwilling, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

I don't know.

At this moment, beneath Liu Hong's cold expression, he was also experiencing a headache.

Looking at the rebellious teenager in front of him, his own son, he couldn't help but wonder: Is this really the future Emperor Zhaolie of Han?

"Using the Qi Observation Technique consumes 100 points of Luck."

A thought flashed through Liu Hong's mind, and a faint red light appeared in his eyes.

Name: Liu Bei

Age: 15

[Aura: Gold]

[Destiny: A hidden dragon in the abyss; with benevolence and virtue as its foundation, a kingly countenance]

……

Liu Hong looked away, temporarily relieved.

There is still hope.

He was not a person of this world, but rather transmigrated into the body of Liu Bei's father, Liu Hong.

Compared to the future famous son who would restore the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong in history was a nobody. He died when Liu Bei was young, leaving his mother, Lady Wu, to raise him alone with great hardship.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.

Several years have passed since the time travel.

Thanks to his tireless efforts, the results were quite pleasing.

Not only did he retain his original position as Gongcao (a high-ranking official), but he has now become the head of the Liu clan of Zhuo County, completely controlling this branch of the Han imperial family that had fallen into disuse since the reign of Emperor Wu of Han due to the loss of his title by Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Luchengting in Zhuo County.

With a thought, the personal panel flashed by.

Name: Liu Hong

Age: 28

[Luck: Purple - 77441 (Daily +27000)]

[Rank: One Claw]

[Authority: Aura Observation, Imperial Conferment]

[Destiny: Ziwei Emperor's Destiny, with the Officer and Killer Stars in favorable positions, transforming the Killer Stars into Power, and acting as an emperor will bring blessings and good fortune]

This is Liu Hong's secret weapon.

It is precisely because of this that the Liu family has now developed to the point where it has broken out of Zhuo County and gained some fame in Zhuo Prefecture.

Coming to his senses, Liu Hong did not immediately become angry. Instead, he swept his unsettlingly calm gaze over the pile of straw mats and sandals on the stall, finally looking intently at Liu Bei: "So, what do you want?"

Liu Bei's eyebrows immediately lit up with joy, thinking that his father was about to agree to his decision not to study.

Xu Shu saw it clearly and secretly shook his head.

Xuande was too naive!

as predicted.

Before Liu Bei could answer, Liu Hong bent down and picked up the woven items on the straw mat, and slowly said, "A straw mat can cover the body, and straw sandals can be used to travel a hundred miles. Even sharp swords and weapons are ultimately just tools."

"Could it be that as my son grows older, his ambitions are not as strong as they were in his youth?"

When Liu Bei was young, he pointed to the mulberry tree in front of his house, which resembled the canopy of an emperor's carriage, and said to those around him, "I will surely ride in this canopy-covered carriage."
