After a lot of hard work, Liu Bei and his party finally arrived in Fan County for more than ten days.

In the early Han Dynasty, Fan County was established, and it was named after it was surrounded by Fanshui in the south. The Fanshui River was a tributary of the Ji River. In April of the 12th year of Yongping, Emperor Ming Dynasty, Wang Jing and Wang Hao built a dike in the river. From Xingyang to Qianchenghaikou, the dike passed through Fan County.

At this time, Fan County was on the bank of the river.

The powerful must have a manor. Liu Bei and his party did not enter the county town and went straight to the Fan family farm in the east of the city.

Compared with the Cui family in Anping, the Fan family manor is much smaller. There are no heavy houses and only one viewing building, which is quite similar to the Liu Bei family.

After asking, I found out that my mother's family was just a branch of Fan's family. It was not prominent.

The yard was full of ox carts, but there were no horses.

As soon as Liu Bei's carriage arrived, there were many surprises on the upper and lower sides.

In this era, being able to ride a cart with two horses. If you change it, it is definitely a symbol of identity.

My uncle ran out of the yard and before he could stand still, he bowed to my third uncle. When my third uncle returned the gift, my uncle walked closer to the carriage and called him a virtuous nephew and younger sister.

My mother couldn't help but shed tears.

Liu Bei empathized with it.

My mother asked my husband how he was, and my uncle praised him repeatedly.

Asked to get off the carriage, Liu Bei helped his mother into the hospital.

To be honest, the birthday celebration at this time is somewhat similar to the burning of paper in later generations.

A longevity hall is set up at home, burning a longevity candle and creating longevity silk.

The birthday hall is located in the main hall, which is a place for longevity worship. The "Hundred Life Picture" is hung high on the hall. The "Blessing", "Luxing", and "Shou" three stars. Candles, peaches, leaf tubes, incense burners and other accessories that symbolize longevity. There are also items such as longevity peaches, longevity noodles, longevity wine, and longevity spots on the table.

When it comes to birthday celebrations, guests should be invited to celebrate, and those who come to celebrate often hold birthday gifts. Among them, longevity peaches (fruits), longevity bowls (whole silk cloth), and money is the most common.

The third uncle gave the gift list, and the eldest uncle glanced at him and was immediately overjoyed. The fruits and silk were all carried with the car. There were ten other horseshoe golden cakes as birthday gifts.

How could my uncle not be happy?

This is so attentive that everyone has a smile on their faces.

I will never mention the remarriage.

The birthday ceremony begins, and the birthday star is dressed in a new dress, kneels next to the hall table, accepts relatives and friends, and congratulates the younger generation. As usual, bows and bows two times and three times, and bows for the younger generation. If the birthday ceremony is held by the peers, the recipient must get up and ask the other party to avoid the gift. If the younger generation is underage, the younger generation must give some rewards. If the recipient is still alive, the elders must sit on the congratulations table. Such.

All immediate relatives pay their birthdays in the morning. Distant relatives or friends come to worship as soon as possible. The younger generations who receive congratulations must line up their eight characters on both sides of the birthday hall and return the bows to the kneeling worshipers who come to celebrate the birthday. After the worship, a banquet will be set up, and a birthday wine will be shared together, and a birthday noodles will be eaten.

Etiquette is complicated.

Uncle San was sitting in the table and drinking, and Liu Bei was welcomed into the back hall, most of the time he didn't know about these red tape.

Liu Bei knew very little about this grandfather. It was the first time he had seen him. Anyway, he had kind eyebrows, thin cheeks, long beards, and old-fashioned.

Suddenly, I heard a noise outside the yard and someone laughed loudly.

When I went out to see, I saw a few half-aged boys, dressed in rags, jumping up and down, rolling around, just to get some joy.

After asking, I realized that such vulgarities have almost become a common practice.

When happy events come, who would like to have more trouble with these rascals?

It's just that this time is different.

Seeing that there were high cars and large horses parked in the yard, they were not rich, so a few teenagers were still not satisfied after getting the money and continued to ask for it.

Then he started a fight with the Fan clan.

I heard that these teenagers are from nearby villages, and there are also people from Lin County. They gather together on weekdays and do more stealing things. They are not considered rampant in the villages, but they are all tough characters who are not easy to provoke. They spend money to eliminate disasters on weekdays, but they only need more today, so the Fan clan talents argue with them.

But it was just a few more penny and less penny. Liu Bei lost interest and turned around and returned to the house.

Soon, my mother asked someone to call me.

After following the servant into the back hall, my mother was talking to several female Fan family members.

Seeing his mother waved, Liu Bei took off his shoes and entered the hall, walked to his mother and sat down, saluting several women.

All the questions were asked about the family matters. Liu Bei had one answer after another. There were many temptations in his words, and Liu Bei all vaguely passed by. Uncle San was drunk and was helped to rest in the guest room. After dinner with his mother in the back hall, Liu Bei and his son were specially arranged to rest in the boudoir when his mother was not married.

Many of the decorations in the house remained unchanged. My mother felt moved when she was moved by the scene and couldn't help but go forward and look at it carefully.

The maid brought hot water, and the mother washed Liu Bei first. Then she turned off the lights and took a bath on her own. The mother and son hugged each other and slept.

The next morning, the maid came to call early.

After washing up, I rushed to the front hall. My grandfather and uncle had been waiting for a long time.

After saying some decent words, my uncle told the truth.

It turned out that Zhang Tu from Zhuo County once sent someone to his house to say he was married, and sent a silk and fruit gift, as well as 100,000 copper coins!

But... when did Zhang Tu meet his mother?

My uncle replied that most of the quality houses (pawn shops) in the city were opened by Zhang Tu.

I see!

That's right. Because my mother often went to the county town to spend her days, she was attracted by Zhang Tu. She found out her origin and sent people to talk to her for a long time. She also offered 100,000 yuan with the car to fill in the employment.

No wonder!

My uncle traveled thousands of miles and personally went this trip. Most of the ox cart fruit gifts were purchased from Zhuo County. So, have you seen Zhang Tu before going to Liu Bei's house?

Seeing that Liu Bei's expression was unwilling, his uncle hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't blame me, I didn't know that Liu's family in Zhuo County could still have such aura."

I can't even cover it up. What does it mean to "I didn't know at that time"?

Of course, my uncle said the truth. Perhaps, this reason is serious enough at the moment. That's why he said it with confidence.

never mind.

Even though Liu Bei was not Liu Bei, his mother was still the current mother. After pawning the valuable things in the family, weaving mats and selling shoes, raising Liu Bei into a human being. He had never remarried. It should be noted that remarriage is normal in this era. There is also an example of mothers celebrating the world after remarriage.

The mother was able to live a widow and raise Liu Bei alone to adulthood, which showed the greatness of maternal love.

The one who Liu Bei should be most grateful to be Liu Bei is his mother.

Fortunately, Liu Bei presented a birthday gift of ten gold this time. Ten gold was priced at more than 100,000 yuan, which was exactly the same as Zhang Tu’s 100,000 yuan!

This is not entirely because of the mother's clan's reversal towards Liu Bei.

The most important thing is that the Liu family in Zhuo County was Queen Jing of Zhongshan, the son of Emperor Jing of Han. The Liu family has been an official in prefectures and counties for generations. The grandfather Liu Xiong has also served as a member of Fan Ling of the East County. His father Liu Hong also praised him as a filial and honest official. He would be an official even if he did not die! He gave birth to a son of Liu Bei, who was young and was praised as a son of Qilin!

The future is just right and bright. How can we cut off the in-laws of famous families and get to those lowly butchers?!

Liu Bei doesn’t need to think about the psychological journey of the mother’s tribe. He just needs to know that it’s enough that they will not force their mother to remarry in the future.

Liu Bei felt a little better after saying it openly and honestly.

The so-called family interests should probably be like this.

After saying goodbye to his grandfather and the Fan family, Liu Bei drove back. It was still the third uncle who drove the way. His uncle took him ten miles to the same car before saying goodbye.

After more than ten days, he returned to Lousang Village, Zhuo County.

Five feet of mulberry trees, lush leaves, and shade like a building. From a distance, I saw the boy like a car hood.
