Concubines have a low status in the eyes of these large families, slightly higher than servants, and some are inferior to servants. This is true. Look at their second aunt, she gave birth to Liu Ying, a little princess that everyone likes, but she still doesn't even have the qualification to eat in the chairman.

As a result, Xiao Liu Ying ate at the chairman's table and her mother served at the same time. Because Xiao Liu Ying himself could not eat by himself, her mother served at the same time. If it was not for this reason, she had no qualification to serve at the same time and could only eat at another table.

Now Chen Yuanyuan is eating in the East Wing room.

To tell you the truth, Liu Ying and Liu Bu insisted that he could be the chairman, because after all, she was not born in the main room or a concubine.

Among ordinary aristocratic families, this is not qualified to eat on stage. In fact, there should be no big families like the Liu family. The only problem is that there are too few people in the Liu family, so they make an exception.

Xiao Liu Ying is very happy. She eats happily here. She doesn't know why her mother has been standing and waiting for her to eat. She doesn't understand what it means, but as long as her mother is around, she will be happy if her mother is happy.

Although Liu Bu came home and met Chen Meimei, he didn't do what he wanted to do in his heart. He was quite unhappy, but he didn't dare to show his dead face to his grandmother. He had to eat with his head down. The food at home was delicious. He just ate it.

Master Buddha, he said, "the food in the military camp is not good. Please eat more."

After Liu Bu took a few mouthfuls of rice, he said, "who said? The food in the camp is the best. There are fish and meat in every meal. Rice and steamed bread are enough."

The old Buddha said to him, "how can such food be good? Thanks to you, you can survive in the military camp."

Liu Buhe said: "as a general in charge of the army, if you can't share joys and hardships with the soldiers and go through life and death, you're not a qualified general. Moreover, it's a very happy thing to have enough food in the army. Dare you think more."

After he said these words, he saw that his grandmother didn't talk, so he had to stop talking, because there were rules for eating in their big family. Generally, they didn't eat and sleep.

Liu Bu helped his grandmother to take a walk in the garden after dinner. Chen Yuanyuan and Xiao Liu Ying were also accompanied.

Now autumn is almost over, and it will soon be cold. There are fallen leaves everywhere on the ground. Moreover, it is still a seaside area, which looks a little cool.

Liu buta said, "old Buddha, you have come home, so be at home at ease. Only when you are old and healthy can my father and I concentrate on our work."

The old Buddha said to him, "now the world is bad, it's difficult for you."

Liu preached: "the most difficult thing now is that a large number of refugees rushed here desperately. We estimate that the final number will exceed 100000. At that time, we Liu family didn't know what to do."

The old Buddha said to him, "Qingzhi, let me ask you, what kind of army have you trained now?"

How do you describe the combat effectiveness and level of your army? Liu Bu thought for a moment. He said, "if we fight Liu Zeqing head-on, it will be 50-50."

The old Buddha said to him, "I see what you mean. That is to say, if we are unwilling to be humiliated, no one can bully us here in the East Third mansion, right?"

Liu Bu said, "it's understandable." after several moves, he began to have some confidence in his troops. He thought that their troops were still effective. Since they could toss so many people, they would eventually play their role in this troubled world one day.

The old Buddha said, "then try our best to help these refugees."

Their housekeeper Liu Fuqi was also waiting on him. He was shocked to hear the old Buddha say so. He knew the old Buddha's light words, but they had more things to do, and money and food would go out like running water. He hurriedly said: "Old Buddha, think twice! Do you know that this will be Jinshan and Yinshan. If you go out, the most afraid thing is that the officials say we buy people's hearts."

Buddha said: "As an official, he likes to say, let him go. We Liu family are not afraid of things. Now their court doesn't care about people's hearts, but we Liu family still care about people's hearts. The reason why we Liu family can have a foothold in Shandong for 60 years is that we accumulate virtue and do good deeds. In case of disaster, we Liu family can increase one mu of land? And it can be said that we donate money and food in the third East Government At most, it is our Liu family. We Liu family have accumulated virtue and done good, so fuze has been so far. "

When the old Buddha spoke like this, Liu Fuqi didn't dare to talk back. He had to say, "I obey the old Buddha's orders."

Liu Bu sees that this is the order, this is the authority. The old Buddha is the person with the highest status at home. What she says should be regarded as the order. Everyone should implement the estimation, not to mention Liu Fuqi. Even Liu Yuanqiao has to listen to his mother.

Old Buddha, he still likes to listen to that sentence. She said, "Qingzhi is good. No one sees practice. God knows it. As long as we Liu family do things with our own conscience, I will have a good return."

Liu Bu said to him, "it's still the old Buddha. You're wise. In this way, I don't know how many people to save. It's really a living Buddha of thousands of families."

After they finished pressing the garden with the old Buddha, they saw that it was getting dark, so they helped her back to her room to rest. After Liu Bu left grandma's room, he came to the study and wanted to see Liu Fuqi right away.

Liu Fuqi saw Liu bu. He bowed respectfully. Liu preached, "uncle Liu, why do you do this gift?"

Liu Fuqi said to him, "uncle Liu, you really can't afford it now. Young master, you are grown up now. The master should be very happy."

The battle of yemashan was a big event that caused a sensation in Shandong. Of course, no one in the government or the public knew that it was their Liu family army, but he knew Liu Fuqi very well. That is to say, the Liu family trained this friendly family army, which is really effective, not just like airs. In this event, their young master made great contributions, and he fully supported and promoted it, As an old man of the Liu family, he is also very pleased to see these things.

Liu Bu said to him, "uncle Liu, now you can see that the old Buddha agrees with my plan and prepares all the money and food of our Liu family."

Liu Fu said: "I'm afraid that officials will say that we buy people's hearts, and I'm afraid that the rich and noble people in Shandong Province all point to our backbone and say that we make a bird, and it's hard to please."

Liu preached: "these concerns are right, but we can't live in other people's concerns and doubts, and we can't stop moving forward because of other people's concerns and doubts. In fact, this is a great opportunity. Since others don't know how to cherish such an opportunity and don't cherish the hearts of the people, let's replace it by our Liu family."

What Liu Bu said was a little ambitious. Liu Fuqi was a little worried. He said, "young master, what you said seems to have crossed the line?"

Liu Bu said: "Yes! Yes! Yes! It's a little out of line. I originally meant that our Liu family's prosperity for three generations depends on our virtue accumulation and good deeds. Even God knows that our virtue accumulation and good deeds are infinite blessings. Therefore, as long as we have a mouthful of meat, we Liu family must continue to do good deeds. Only virtue accumulation and good deeds can bring profound blessings and prosperity to our children and grandchildren Sheng. "

Liu Fuqi said to him, "young master, you are right to say so."

Liu Bu to Liu Fu: "Tomorrow you have to provide me with all the data to see how much food we have and how many people we can arrange for me. Now these refugees are pouring in. It is estimated that they will flow here this winter. Since they flow here, we have to greet them as much as possible. As long as we spend this winter, we can arrange these refugees to go out to work, cultivate land, join factories or something Those who produce value for us and win the hearts of the people do not worry about having no money and food. "

To his blessing, he said, "young master, you are really vigorous and resolute. I'll go back and sort it out immediately and provide you with complete data tomorrow."

After listening to Liu Fuqi's report, Liu Bu immediately returned to his room. At this time, Chen Yuanyuan had bathed and was preparing to remove her makeup. She said, "Qingzhi, you are tired, but you want me to massage you?"

Liu Bu said to him, "no, just pack up and go with me to Jimo tomorrow."

Chen Yuanyuan was surprised. She said, "shouldn't I live here? Go to Jimo camp with you. Why?"

Liu Buhe said, "I miss you every day and every moment when I leave home. It's very painful. Now I'm going to Jimo to preside over the overall situation. I don't want to spend so much time thinking about you every day. The best way is to put you by my side. What do you think“

Chen Yuanyuan said happily, "I'm naturally happy about my concubine." but she asked, "Qing Zhi, are you afraid that my concubine will be disliked by the old Buddha if you live here?"

Liu Bu said, "it's nothing like that, but I really miss you. I don't want us to be separated all the time. We haven't lived together for a long time. Don't you want to go to Jimo camp with me? I can tell you that the conditions in Jimo camp city are far inferior to those here."

Chen Yuanyuan said happily, "it's not good. In fact, as long as I follow the childe, I'm happy wherever I go."

After hearing her words, Liu Bu was very happy. He said, "OK, pack your bags and start early tomorrow morning, because now winter is coming, we must go to Jimo to prepare."

Chen Yuanyuan was very happy. She was ready to go to bed after unloading. Did she wake up mother Rong immediately? She was ready to pack their luggage.

Liu Bu took it for granted that he wanted to leave here early tomorrow morning. As soon as he was ready to go to bed, he received a report from the housekeeper and said, "someone from the Zheng family will come tomorrow. The young master had better stay at home."
