Chapter 37: Talking after drinking at night

Liu Cang was dizzy from a hangover and could recover from high-intensity physical exertion overnight, but the hangover caused by binge drinking left him half-dead and moaning for a whole day.

Liu Cang had no intention of teasing him as he served tea and water on the pillow of the beautiful woman. His physical upper limit, which was already 102, dropped a little and returned to 101.

Liars, they are all liars! Doesn’t it mean that the more you drink, the more violent you become? Doesn’t it mean that you relax your muscles and activate your blood circulation? This is simply drinking alcohol that harms your body.

Although I may have drunk a little too much, why should I be so realistic?

Liu Cang drags Zhang Xiu Niang, who is changing her environment for the first time, into various grievances.

After returning from walking on the stars last night, the stars reappeared today, and the sound of the piano was melodious in the courtyard. Liu Cang then got up and went to the ground with a groan.

Well, if he has three meals a day, Cai Yong will not be hungry.

The yard inside and outside the house has been cleaned. Today, Zhang Xiu Niang is working at Liu's house for the first time. Except for Cai Yan, who is not allowed to feed the turtles, Zhang Xiu Niang has taken over all the household chores.

Chickens and pigs were fed, and the courtyard was filled with a smell similar to burning mugwort and ephedra. It was not a good smell, but it only served to repel insects.

Cai Yong was playing the piano in the courtyard. Not far away, Cai Yan and Zhang Xiuniang, one big and one small, were quietly enjoying the peace of the night.

The sound of the piano is quiet.

"Hmm~hmm~hmm~" Liu Cang emphasized his presence with a humming voice.

"Are you up? Xiu Niang, bring him some porridge." Cai Yong stopped playing and looked back at Liu Cang, half-smiling but not smiling.

Liu Cang showed the usual embarrassment of a hungover person. The scene was broken and he couldn't remember many things. However, judging from Cai Yong's appearance, nothing special happened, and Liu Cang had no intention of going into details.

"Okay, uncle, do you and the lady want some more?" When Zhang Xiu Niang asked Cai Yong, Cai Yong shook his head slightly.

Cai Yan called Zhang Xiu Niang sister, and Zhang Xiu Niang called Cai Yan miss. Cai Yan treated Zhang Xiu Niang as a close friend, and Zhang Xiu Niang treated Cai and his daughter with respect. The atmosphere was good, and Liu Cang didn't need to worry about it.

"Father, don't you need me to introduce you?" Liu Cang walked up to Cai Yong and pointed at Zhang Xiu Niang's back.

"Waiting for you? It's ridiculous to have a new concubine come to your home in the middle of the night to ask for help." Cai Yong lectured Liu Cang angrily.

"Those bastards in the East Village are such beasts. I don't want to disgrace my father." Liu Cang laughed playfully.

While talking, Zhang Xiu Niang brought a bowl of clear porridge. Liu Cang held it directly without setting it up with a table or chair, and slurped down the bowl of warm porridge with the two pickles in the bowl.

"You really make my father proud." He said angrily to Liu Cang, and Cai Yong stopped mentioning what happened yesterday.

"Today your brother Liu Bei came to look for you. When he saw that you were still sleeping soundly, he left." Cai Yong said softly to Liu Cang while watching Liu Cang drink porridge.

"Well, I wanted to deliver books for my father today, and I made an appointment with Liu Bei to go to the county. I didn't expect that there were many surprises yesterday, but it delayed my father's important things. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the county to hire a fast horse." Put the bowl in the bowl.

After clearing the corn, Liu Cang said to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong had earlier asked Liu Cang to go to Linjun to send books to Luoyang. Looking for horses in the village, he could only go to Liu Deran's house to borrow them. Originally, the old man of Liu Deran's family valued Liu Bei, but he was not cold to Liu Cang, but Liu Cang was not interested in dealing with his family.

not much.

Speaking of the county, Liu Cang remembered that yesterday Zhang Fei seemed to want to come to see him, but he didn't see Zhang Fei coming today. Liu Cang guessed that the boy was also moaning in bed today.

He broke off after drinking, but he didn't forget what happened before the break. Zhang Fei's horse was injured, so his father would inevitably find out and beat him up, which was beautiful. A filial son emerges from the stick.

"There is no need to go tomorrow. In five days, you will go to the north to find Huangfu Yizhen. My father is the same age as him, so he can be called an uncle, and I will give him the letter to pass on." Liu Cang handed the empty bowl back.

The embroiderer listened to Cai Yong's instructions to Liu Cang.

"Beidi? Isn't Huangfu Song in Luoyang?" Liu Cang was confused. The Beidi here is not the northern border, but the name of a county.

"He is familiar with his father, so you should respect him. From now on, you should never be too old or too young." Cai Yong frowned and accused Liu Cang, but his tone was not harsh.

Although Liu Cang considered himself low-key for many years, Cai Yong had already discovered that he was arrogant and arrogant. Cai Yong did not blame him for this, but reminded him from time to time and made the Book of Rites his first priority.

"Oh." Liu Cang responded, absent-mindedly. Although Huangfu Song had led the northern governor, the guy he remembered should always be in Luoyang. He was a guy who knew business better among a group of veterans from the late Han Dynasty.

"Let's set off on the fifth day. When you arrive, he should be in the north. If not, you can just wait for two days." Seeing Liu Cang's response, Cai Yong explained.

"Huh? Did you deduce it?" Liu Cang's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.

"..." Cai Yong was silent.

"My father has known him for many years and I know his habits. Although Yizhen has lived in Luoyang for a long time, he will also go to the north to check military and government affairs." Cai Yong explained.

"..." Liu Cang stopped talking this time. It was boring and not superstitious at all.

"Oh. Can't we go to the north, Hejian, or Zhongshan? It takes half a month to go back and forth from the north, right?" Feeling weak, Liu Cang said to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong made a move to "rehabilitate" himself, and Liu Cang also paid more attention to this. Originally, Cai Yong's cat was left alone, but now because of him, there is no lack of news about Cai Yong's existence in the two villages and even the county.

Liu Cang also wanted to deliver the bamboo book written by Cai Yong as soon as possible to avoid another incident.

"My father is not good at martial arts, but he also knows that the sooner he learns martial arts and riding, the better. When you go to the north, your uncle Huangfu will prepare some things you need." Cai Yong's explanation was not like an explanation, and he immediately let him know.

Liu Cang's eyes gleamed.

Martial arts training? Riding skills? Meeting ceremony? So the war horses and weapons are available?

"What are uncle Huangfu's hobbies?" Liu Cang asked respectfully.

"..." Cai Yong was silent and slowly raised his heavily guarded right hand.

"Go! Go! Go! As a father, I don't want to see your villainous face."

"If you dare to shame your father's face in front of Huangfu Yizhen, be careful that you are covered in skin." Cai Yong scolded Liu Cang.

Liu Cang didn't take it seriously and was slapped twice by Cai Yong without any pain or itching.

All joking aside, Liu Cang told Cai Yong that he planned to engage in breeding in Dongshan. Cai Yong had no objection to this. At most, it would be troublesome to move.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, land taxes were not high. However, under Liu Hong's various manipulations over the years, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were in a mess, and the corvee became increasingly heavy, especially the poll tax.

Cai Yong has status, but he is fond of antiques and leisure, and does not like business. He has no business in his family, and he has not messed around with taxes in recent years. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is wasting resources.

Now that Liu Cang has built a small hill to raise some livestock, as long as Cai Yong is absolved of the crime of dispatching people to the border areas, no one will feel uncomfortable registering here.

"By the way, yesterday I heard someone said that the Xiongnu entered Yanmen, saying they were seeking asylum. I want to go and have a look in the next two days." The two men were chatting, and Liu Cang suddenly remembered what Zhang Fei said and said to Cai Yong.

"Huh?" Cai Yong's originally calm expression changed.

"The Xiongnu and Xianbei are all wolves. What do you want them to do?" Cai Yong looked serious.

"My father doesn't care much about small things on weekdays, but I won't tolerate your nonsense when it comes to matters of great righteousness. If you dare to get close to those barbarians, my father will definitely not forgive you."

Cai Yong has always been either upright or cheerful, but now Liu Cang has never seen such a gloomy and taboo expression.

"I just heard that they have fierce dogs. I want to see if I can get some breeds." Liu Cang replied honestly after feeling uncomfortable for a moment.

"The barbarians do have vicious dogs, but they seem to value those vicious dogs very much. The family doesn't have much money. How are you going to get them?" After hearing Liu Cang's plan, Cai Yong shook his head and was not optimistic.

"If someone is expelled, enters my land of Han people, and travels through the mountains, I must give some benefits to my Han people. I don't bully him and suffer, but he is bumped by them. Is it not too much to ask a dog to compensate?" Liu Cang

He asked Cai Yong tentatively.
