Chapter 70 Changxin Lamp

The county magistrate was inexplicably surprised. This world was too shocking. The county magistrate Liu Xuande knew that Liu Xuande was one of the few heroes in Zhuozhou. Now that Liu Xuande has raised an army to eliminate the power of the Yellow Turban in Zhuozhou, he is even more capable.

Liu Xuande was not a mediocre person, but it was even more astonishing to worship a child as the military advisor.

Shocked under the pressure, the county magistrate looked at the young man seriously again.

He was an ordinary young man, dressed in linen clothes and wearing straw sandals. There was nothing noble about him. Only his dark and steady eyes made the county magistrate feel that there was something commendable about him.

It's not a good time to ask at the door, "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young man!"

The county magistrate did not hesitate to praise him.

Then, go to the county government office.

The layout of the county government branch hall is roughly the same as that in Zhang Fei.

They are all facing the main door. There is a low table in the main hall, and straw mats are placed behind the low table.

Behind the straw mat, there is an extra screen than in Zhang Fei's house.

The screen seems to be made of silk, with cloud patterns embroidered on it. It is thin but translucent.

On both sides of the hall, there are two rows on each side.

On both sides of each low table, there are light stands like flower stands.

Li Mengxi looked at the lamp stand and felt it looked familiar.

For example, I have seen it in a history textbook or somewhere, Changxin Palace Lantern.

This is either a palace, or it is the Changxin Lantern.

The county magistrate took his seat first, and then asked Liu Bei to take his seat.

There were rows of seats again, and Li Mengxi was nervous again, not knowing which seat to go to.

This place is different from Zhang Fei's house. In Zhang Fei's house, it doesn't matter if you sit in the wrong seat.

But the county magistrate's family will have a banquet tonight, where they will talk about something for a long time. There will be more than one or two people at the banquet, and there will be many etiquettes for drinking during the banquet. Li Mengxi doesn't know it.

If you sit at a table alone, it will be difficult to cope.

Just when Li Mengxi was hesitating, Liu Bei took Li Mengxi's hand as naturally as he would a child, "My Xi'er has never seen the banquet before, so I'm afraid of losing etiquette, so I'm sharing the table with you. Don't blame me, sir!"

When the county magistrate heard this, he burst into laughter and said it was okay to say so.

After Liu Bei sat down at the table, a man in armor who looked like a general came soon. When this man saw Liu Bei, he smiled and congratulated Liu Bei on his victory.

Liu Bei also stood up quickly, "Where is it!" Liu Bei said in response, "If there is no county magistrate to intervene, and if there is no general to lead the troops to guard the state capital, so that I have no worries about my retreat, even if Bei wants to win, he will not be able to!

This great victory is not only the result of preparation, but also the result of the two of us!"

After some conversation, the man who was said to be an official general of Zhuo County was beaming, and the county magistrate also smiled after hearing this.

Li Mengxi, who got up with Liu Bei, laughed secretly in his heart when he heard Liu Bei's words.

Liu Bei's smooth handling of things is shocking.

Everyone seemed to have arrived, and the county magistrate clapped his hands. Immediately, the maids who had been waiting outside the tent for some time walked in. The maids moved lightly, with their heads lowered, carrying skirts in one hand, and holding long candles in the other.

, Li Mengxi's eyes suddenly lit up, not because of the appearance of the maid, but because as a modern person, Li Mengxi entered the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, and all he saw were antiques and ancient people. As if he were in a very high-quality ancient historical drama, what?

All feel fresh.

The two little maids lowered their eyebrows and came to the two sides of the low table where Liu Bei and Li Mengxi were sitting. They knelt on one side and the other on the right. They used the long candles in their hands to light the lamps on the left and right bronze lamp stands.

Li Mengxi was curious, so he stared at it, watching the maid use the flame of the candle to light the lamps one by one.

In the Han Dynasty, what was used for lighting? Li Mengxi came over to take a look, wanting to see if the lamp was filled with oil or wax.

The little maid was at most twelve or thirteen years old. When she saw Li Mengxi approaching, she was a little scared and her movements were unnatural. She peeked at Li Mengxi fearfully.

Li Mengxi looked like a fool and grinned at others.

It scared people.

Liu Bei paid close attention to Li Mengxi. When he saw Li Mengxi approaching and staring at the girl, Liu Bei was angry and laughed, "Xi'er!"

Liu Bei called softly.

Li Mengxi was confused and looked back at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei lowered his voice and whispered in Li Mengxi's ear, "Xi'er, what do you think? How rude."

Li Mengxi was confused, "I see that the lamp is burning oil and wax."

It's rude to look at a light.

Li Mengxi was surprised.

The county magistrate and the general both looked at Liu Bei and the two. Liu Bei and the others were familiar with each other. It was the first time Li Mengxi came here, and they focused more on Li Mengxi.

Sure enough, the general-looking figure couldn't help but ask, "Hi, Xuande, this is you..."

"Ha! This is our army's military advisor." Liu Bei introduced Li Mengxi generously, not feeling embarrassed at all about having a child as our military advisor.

Like the county magistrate, the general-like figure was stunned for a moment when he heard that the baby was Liu Bei's military advisor, and burst into laughter.

A comparison between this person's city government and the county's Chengcheng government will reveal which one is deeper and which one is shallower.

When the county magistrate heard about this, he didn't laugh wildly.

This man looked at Li Mengxi and laughed heartily. Li Mengxi knew why he was laughing. He must be showing contempt when he laughed like this.

Li Mengxi had a smile on his face, and his face was as smooth as ever.

Liu Bei was so embarrassed by this man's laughter.

"Come on, come on! Baby, you are a military advisor and must be a learned person. I would like to test you to see how well you study." The general laughed so hard that he was out of breath and wanted to test Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi had experienced the teaching test before. He was afraid that these ancient people would ask him questions about the Four Books and Five Classics, but he would not be able to answer many questions. Li Mengxi felt panicked in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Excuse me, sir." Li Mengxi cupped his hands and gave a slight salute.

When it came time for the test, the general put away his smile and looked a little more serious.

"Little brother, Xuande will worship you as his military advisor. You are very knowledgeable. Are you familiar with the words of saints?"

"General, are you talking about "The Analects of Confucius"?" Li Mengxi frowned slightly.

"The Analects of Confucius is fine too." The general nodded.

Li Mengxi felt even more panicked and his face became calmer, "I have read a little bit of The Analects of Confucius."

Li Mengxi replied.

At the same time, my mind quickly recalled the Analects articles I learned when I was in school.

It’s not easy to say that it’s time to learn and practice. It’s not a joy to have friends from far away. The deceased is like this husband, who never gives up day and night. A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. Only women and villains are difficult to care for!

It's a mess, with no clue.

Li Mengxi said that he had read some of the Analects, and the general only regarded him as being humble.

The general frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed at Li Mengxi and said, "Please memorize it, "Yan Yuan Chapter"."

When Li Mengxi heard this, his mind went blank.

Damn it, how do we know what Yan Yuan wrote?

Li Mengxi was anxiously scratching his hair. He was no longer calm. He scratched his ears and cheeks, and there was a slight trickle of sweat on his forehead.

At this time, Li Mengxi was in distress, and the county magistrate and the general saw it, and Liu Bei even saw it.

Liu Bei observed the cave and knew that Li Mengxi was rarely at such a loss. Although he was confused, he was afraid that Li Mengxi would not come down. Liu Bei hurriedly smoothed things over for Li Mengxi, "The exams will be held tomorrow! Today I am waiting for him to return. Xi'er is tired.

.”

Liu Bei covered for Li Mengxi.

Liu Bei's excuse was poor, so the general-looking man naturally didn't believe it.

He looked at Li Mengxi with a playful look in his eyes, "Baby, tell me, is this Yan Yuan's article a good one?"

At this time, Li Mengxi simply gave up and cupped his hands, "No way."
