Li Qin said that he had eaten, but Jia's father insisted on him drinking with him, so Li Qin had to accompany him. The four of them sat on the broken wooden couch, surrounding a short-legged table with only stones that had no legs, and started to eat wine and meat.

Li Qin took a sip of wine and frowned. He didn't drink when he was at Liu Sheng's house, but now he felt that the wine was really called "water wine". It was really light and watery, and the wine was turbid, which looked quite bad to him.

But Jia's father was so excited that he drank, the more he became more excited. He kept boasting about how glorious the Jia family had before and how promising his son Jia Xu was. When he was happy, he actually got off the couch and got off the couch, waving his sleeves and singing and dancing.

Apart from swaying sleeves, this Tongsong dance has no other dance skills, which is extremely ugly. It made Li Qin stunned. Li Jia didn't dare to look up, and Jia Mu kept saying: "This old man has nothing to do when he hasn't drunk. As long as he gets drunk, he starts to be crazy. He really has no life to live a good life!"

Li Qin said: "What my aunt said is bad. When my brother-in-law returns home in glory, my uncle will be Grand Duke Jia, and good days will come!"

After finishing the singing and dancing, Jia's father climbed onto the couch and smiled and said, "It's still Li Lang who has knowledge. Such a good life with wine and meat is still there. Come on, let's have a drink with me!"

Jia Mu spat and said, "You are still a grandfather, don't forget that your surname is Jia. Even if you are a grandfather, you are a fake grandfather!"

Li Qin and Jia's father laughed, and Li Jia couldn't help laughing. He ate this meal very happily. After the meal, Li Qin slept in the main hall. Li Jia gave him the bedding that Jia Xu had covered when he was at home, and he felt comfortable sleeping.

The next day, Li Qin got up early and helped Li Jia chop firewood and fetch water. He climbed up the roof along the ladder, added thatch and did some repair work.

It was almost noon when Li Qin was about to get off the roof, but because he stood high, he saw a lot of people coming out of the alley, and they were still driving the sheep, but the leader was Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng saw Li Qin on the roof outside the alley and shouted loudly: "Brother, why did you get into the room?"

Li Qin grabbed a handful of thatch and shouted, "It's time to replenish the roof!"

Liu Sheng got off the horse and led the horse into the alley. The servants behind him rushed in a group of bleating sheep. Li Qin quickly got off the roof and ran to open the door.

Liu Sheng handed the reins of the horse to the servant, and after entering the hospital, he smiled and said, "Brother is so diligent. I am here today to tell my brother that Huotan's illness has been cured."

Li Qin looked up at the sky and said, "It's not afternoon yet, is the disease cured?"

Liu Sheng said: "Actually, it was gone last night. I squatted in the horse circle all night and observed it all the time. I decocted medicine with my own hands this morning. The symptoms of hot charcoal have almost disappeared before going out. I guess I will be fine after two days of feeding for two days."

Li Qin said: "Since the symptoms have disappeared, you should not take the medicine anymore. By the way, Brother Liu came here to tell your brother this?" He should have come to thank him in person and gave him a gift!

Liu Sheng was about to speak, but he saw Jia's father coming out of the room. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This is Jia Weng, I'm here to greet Jia Weng." He didn't recognize Jia's father at all before, but he had already inquired before. Out of gratitude to Li Qin, he also gave Jia's father a greeting.

Jia’s father was overjoyed. Liu Sheng was not only the richest businessman in Fuping, but also the patriarch of Daliang Qiang. In addition to the county magistrate, the county magistrate was the most awesome. Even the county magistrate wanted to give him three points. Such a person is now coming to the door in person and bowing to him. He is really proud!

He quickly returned the gift, but Liu Sheng said hello and ignored him. He was quite disappointed. He looked back and saw that his wife and daughter-in-law were hiding in the house. He sighed softly, remembering that Jia Xu was coming. When will his son come back so that he can truly be glorious!

Liu Sheng smiled at Li Qin and said, "Brother, I am thanking you for this time... No, I am not able to say thank you if I am a brother. I am visiting you, and I am here to apologize!"

Li Qin yelled and said strangely: "Apologize, where do you start?"

Liu Sheng said: "Since you and I are brothers, I will go to your house to pay homage to Uncle and Aunt Li, but you also know that you can't leave now. You have to go to see each other for a few days. I've been slow to treat the two elders. Do you think this is a sin? Should you apologize?"

Li Qin hurriedly said, "Not so, why bother!"

Liu Sheng said: "In order to apologize to the two elders, I specially brought a cart of wine and food, and there were twenty fat sheep. Fuping could no longer find such a fat sheep, and my mount..." He pointed to the strong horse he rode outside the yard and said: "This horse is naturally not as good as hot charcoal, but it is also a good horse that is one in a hundred, and has a gentle temperament, so it is the most suitable for riding."

This gift is really too thick, almost called it the full possession of a superior family. Li Qin waved his hand and said, "No, how can I accept such a generous gift, brother?"

Liu Sheng shouted: "Brother, I am heretic, I shouldn't say this! This is not a gift I gave you, but something I apologize to the two elders. How can you say that you will not accept it? If you don't accept it, you will not let the two elders forgive me, you will look down on me! If you look down on me, I will not live anymore. Is there a well in the yard? I will jump in!" As he said that, he acted to jump into the well and commit suicide.

Li Qin laughed, grabbed Liu Sheng, and said, "Brother Liu, don't do this. I will accept these things!" Someone came to give gifts, but he didn't accept them, which made them jump into the well. Even if he pretended to jump, it wouldn't be a word!

Liu Sheng then became happy and said, "Brother, if there is something missing in the family, come to move to my brother's house, mine will be yours. I will be happy if you come to move. If you don't come... it doesn't matter, I'll send it to you!"

Li Qin's prescription doesn't matter to him, but to Liu Sheng, it's a priceless treasure. Liu Sheng couldn't even think of how to repay him. He had already made up his mind that he would give whatever Li Qin wanted in the future. This brother must hand over it!

After talking and laughing for a while, Liu Sheng left his servant to take care of the flock of sheep and carriages, and then said goodbye to go home. He was thinking about the charcoal and did not dare to leave the BMW for too long. Li Qin checked the gifts. In addition to the strong horses and the flock, there were also a cart of things, not only the medicines I bought yesterday, but also hundreds of kilograms of dried meat, ten jars of fine wine, and even pickles and seasonings.

He asked the servant to take down three jars of wine, some pickles, and half of the dried meat, and Li Qin handed them over to Li Jia and left them for them to eat. The Jia family's work was almost done, so he should go home as planned.

After leaving the yard, Li Qin looked at the strong horse. The horse's fur was black and shiny. Although it was not as good as a sweat-blooded BMW, it was indeed a good horse, but the horse's equipment was a little out of tune.

I saw a short rope on the left side of the black horse, with a triangular wooden stirrup tied to it. It seemed that it should be used to step on when riding the horse. A leather pad was tightly tied to the cowhide saddle. There were two long leather strips on both sides of the leather pad, and the lower end of the leather strip was formed into a round cover. From the outside, it seemed to be stirrups, but it could only be said to be the prototype of stirrups. Strictly speaking, it could only be considered a leather stirrup. There is still a big difference when viewed from the real stirrups.

Li Qin thought to himself: "Does the stirrups in the Han Dynasty look like this? What's going on? Why can't people in this era use such a simple thing? Or do you deliberately don't use it to show that you have superb riding skills?"

When he stepped into the triangular stirrup, Li Qin turned on the horse. He was not very good at riding. In modern times, he spent money to take photos and ran for several miles. But he could only say that he could ride it, and it was not related to riding a good horse. Fortunately, this dark horse was the same as Liu Sheng said, with a gentle temper, so he let him ride it obediently and did not move around.

Seeing Li Qin sitting on the saddle, a servant came over and put the leather rope into Li Qin's feet. The servant asked, "Young Master Li, are you going to leave the city now?"

Li Qin nodded and said, "Go north to Fujiao Village."

The servant agreed repeatedly, walking by the side of the horse, while another servant caught up with the flock of sheep, drove a cart, followed Li Qin and left the city together.

Li Qin turned around and shouted, "Sister, Uncle Jia, Uncle Jia, I will come to see you later in a few days!"

Li Jia and Jia Mu waved at him together, but Jia Father held the wine jar and shouted: "Next time I come, remember to bring wine, let's drink together, I'll sing the Guanguan Jujiu for you..."

Li Qin quickly turned around and thought to himself: "Take you down!"

After leaving the alley and turning on the road, I didn't walk far away, I heard footsteps behind me. Li Qin looked back and saw a large group of soldiers, led by a hundred officers, running over.

The soldiers in this team of soldiers were holding spears and trotting. The queue was quite loose and their steps were even messy, not like an army marching. Some soldiers behind would even step on the feet of the soldiers in front and step down their shoes. From time to time, soldiers stopped to carry their shoes and shouted and cursed.

Li Qin asked the soldiers to go to the roadside and asked the team of soldiers to go first. He asked, "Is it going to fight or to perform, what are they doing?"

The servant of Ma Bang said, "It's not time for war, it's not a show. They are going out of the city to collect taxes!"

Li Qinqi said: "We have to send troops to collect taxes. There are so many soldiers. Whose taxes will be collected? Will you be able to get a big deal?"

The servant looked up and said in surprise: "If you collect taxes from the people, if you don't send an army, who is willing to pay taxes, even if the soldiers come to the door, you may not be able to raise the taxes!"

The servant who drove the car behind said, "When winter passes, the spring famine will arrive soon. The Huns on the grassland will definitely come south to rob. The official wants to raise military rations to start a war with the Huns. I heard that they will recruit new recruits this year!"

The servant beside the horse snorted and said, "What are you recruiting new recruits? I think you are just a strong man. You will take care of a meal a day, and then let the strong man work hard. What you refuse to do for that meal is just a local fool! "

Li Qin looked at the army and thought to himself: "It seems that they are going out of the north gate. Could it be that they are going to Fujiao Village? The villagers are so poor that they can't even eat enough, so how can they still pay taxes!"
