Chapter 190 Brother

Qi'er moved out of the palace and thought she could fly high, but she found that she was still a cage and was very depressed.

Liu Yu was about to leave, but Qier was reluctant to leave. The little girl stood at the door, as if she had sent her to her for a long pavilion, and the good man would never return. She was like a little resentful woman in the deep boudoir. Liu Yu looked back at Qier and sighed slightly. Now Qier's love for him was entering a passionate period, but he still had too little time, and his feelings for the women around him were diluted, and he had too much time to accompany her.

Three wives and four concubines can indeed let me be free and easy, but it is just a Dharma to enjoy pure love.

It was already past lunch time, and Liu Yu went home, but saw that the door was very lively. There was a man kneeling in rags at the door as if he was apology. Xu Xuanzhu stood at the door and was persuading him earnestly, but the man was unmoved. Liu Yu walked up and saw that he was Liu Ting, the second brother who was lying in the middle of paying food and should have been with King Su Zhe of Chu.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Liu Yu walked over and looked at Liu Ting, who looked like a beggar who fled.

In the past, Liu Ting gave Liu Yu the impression that he was a bad intention and paid special attention to his appearance. He was the kind of person who loved to be clean. He could endure so much hardship, just like Su Wu's grazing sheep, and probably suffered a lot.

Seeing Liu Yu, Liu Ting cried and rushed over, crying with tears in his eyes, crying heart-wrenchingly.

"Twelfth brother, the one who is brother can see you!"

This situation was a bit turbulent, and Liu Ting told his fault. After listening for a long time, Liu Yu realized that Liu Ting had returned to the capital with the King of Chu, thinking that he could be promoted, but he did not expect to start running for life halfway. Liu Ting and Liu Yu had a special relationship, so he was abandoned by the King of Chu on the road. He could have returned to the capital, but he encountered disaster victims on the road, so he was very sad to be a refugee who had escaped for more than half a month and forced him to return to Chang'an City.

Liu Yu immediately spoke to this brother.

At that time, Liu Ting was stubborn and wanted to shoot King Chu's horses, and didn't even talk about some basic morality. Now, after suffering, he returned to Chang'an City, and if he didn't go home, he came to his mansion to apologize. The purpose was not for family affection. It was obviously to gain benefits through his relationship. Now that the Marquis of Dingguo is not in the capital, Liu Yu doesn't want to give this brother any face, so he gave him a try to go home and rest first, and sent him home directly.

"Husband, why don't you ask your brother to come in and sit down?" Xu Xuanzhu had already entered the door after Liu Yu came back. When he saw Liu Yu entering the yard alone, he came over and asked.

"The people in the family are too powerful. If you come again, you will be fine if I am not here, just because I am not here." Liu Yu said.

Xu Xuanzhu has no relatives around since childhood, and she doesn't understand the gap between Liu Yu and the family, but as the Liu family's daughter-in-law, she can also feel the cold treatment of Liu Yu before. As a wife, she still stands on her husband's side and nods.

Seeing Liu Ting today also made Liu Yu think that he had not returned to see his sister Liu Jue for many days. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he did not have much time. It is rare that he should go over and take a look today and inform her of Qi Fang's situation. In the future, after the relationship between the court and the King of Huai was completely broken, he would have less free time.

In the afternoon, Liu Yu returned to the Marquis' Mansion of Dingguo.

When he came back this time, Liu Yu clearly felt the enthusiasm of the people at home. It could even be said to be grand. Everyone rushed to greet him, the loyal minister in front of the emperor. Liu Ting had just finished washing and eating, and came out in high spirits. He thought that Liu Yu was going home to arrange an errand for him.

Before the Emperor ascended the throne, Liu Heping, the eldest brother who was dismissed from office, left his second brother Liu Ting and said a few words to Liu Yu. He mainly asked about his father's situation at the border, because soldiers and generals were not allowed to write letters to their homes easily, and the family did not know about the old man's news. Liu Yu said a few words a little, and Liu Yu did not say much about whether the war started. However, Liu He still remained silent and said: "The war at the border may not be able to fight."

Liu He did have the ability to take charge of the overall situation at home, and after he was unemployed, he managed the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion in an orderly manner. The two brothers had too many words, so Liu Yu was very excited. He bit the bullet and said a few words to these relatives and went to the small courtyard where his sister lived. Today he mainly brought the news from Qi Fang.

Liu Jue is still dressed in plain clothes, very elegant and quiet, introverted and implicit woman. Some days I haven't seen her, and the sister in front of Liu Yu has also reduced a lot. Maybe she is suffering from lovesickness, and her sister has a bit of charm of a mature woman in every move.

"You little brother, you are really capable. You helped him find the general's job. How could he be?"

"Everything is fine." Liu Yu drank the tea handed over by Cao Zhan. "In fact, my brother-in-law's errands were earned by his own abilities, and I didn't help much. Now he is still recruiting troops, and he probably will be able to come back before winter can get the marriage done."

I felt relieved when I knew that everything was going well in Qi Fang. She still didn't dare to ask for extravagant marriage. After all, she knew her father's temper. She would not accept anyone she could not accept anything she said.

Liu Yu would have to leave some money, but Liu Jue refused to give it to him and said, "Young brother, you have already started a family and have too many money to live at home, so you should keep it with you. Because you are capable, your sister's monthly money has increased a lot."

Seeing that Liu Jue was determined, Liu Yu did not force him. After all, he was busy with errands and could not stay here for too long. Before leaving, Cao Zhan insisted on clamoring to go to his uncle's house to play. He was not satisfied with the last day he played at Liu Yu's house.

"Want to go?" Liu Yu asked.

"Yes." Cao Zhan nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, learn to write twenty words from your mother. Once you learn it, your uncle will come to pick you up."

"Really?" Cao Zhan's face was very happy, "I have learned to write three. Three are twenty years old, very good, uncle must not cheat."

Seeing Cao Zhan's urgent appearance, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the scene where Qier and Wu Shuo spent the night at his house on the first day, and they were as nostalgic as Cao Zhan. In this era of lack of human feelings, it is really rare to have people around him who can be with him.

When he returned to the palace, Liu Yu received news from the Ministry of Works that it was progress in the research of muskets.

Although the muskets seem flashy, the current imperial army is at a disadvantage compared to the King of Huai and must be compensated through other aspects.

Liu Yu looked at the developed musket. Not only did the musket look smooth and beautiful, but the bolts were also reasonable, so that the breeze could be properly closed after loading the medicine. However, some of the structures were made of copper. It is still too difficult to forge pig iron to create accessories.

"It's good, it's best to replace it with iron." Liu Yu said, "The rifling is also good, but I don't know how the effect is."

Zhou Lin, who is in charge of the general design, explained: "After adding it, it does increase the accuracy, but... there are still many cases of jamming the lead, and after it is stuck, it will basically be scrapped."

"Then try the distance between the muzzle and the rifle. Adjust it, and good things must withstand the tempering." Liu Yu pointed to the position of the musket rod, "You can add an iron piece in front and a groove in the back. Let's draw it back for you."

Zhou Lin said in confusion: "General Liu, what are the uses of the two things you said?"
