In the face of Zhang Rang, although Lin Nan hated him to the core, he had no other way, after all, he still needed this person. So, after some hypocritical praise and praise, Lin Nan took his leave. And Zhang Rang did not embarrass Lin Nan, after all, Lin Nan is now nominally his own party.

returned to his home and put away the appointment and dismissal papers, and Lin Nan fell crookedly, motionless. Yes, Lin Nan was really tired, and everyone knew that Lin Nan should take a break, so they didn't bother.

By the time Lin Nan woke up, it was already early. Lin Nan hurriedly cleaned up and came to the living room. To Lin Nan's surprise, everyone was there, and there were many of them, as if they were talking about something.

Seeing Lin Nan coming, they all stood up and saluted, and exclaimed, "I've seen the lord." ”

This stunned Lin Nan, and it took him a long time to react, and said with a smile: "What are you guys doing?

Chen Gong said: "The lord is now Jinyang Taishou, so naturally we can no longer use the old title, so we naturally have to call the lord." ”

Hearing Chen Gong say this, Lin Nan understood that this was the case, helplessly, Lin Nan waved his hand and said, "You can call it whatever you like." ”

As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, Chen Gong retorted: "Lord, how can this be done? Now that the official position of the lord has been decided, how can we use the old title again? How can there be a distinction between the lord and the inferior? I hope the lord will not push back." ”

Lin Nan had no choice, this ancient man really admitted the truth of death, in desperation, Lin Nan had no choice but to say: "Then follow what Gongtai said." By the way, have you eaten? I'm hungry. ”

Chen Gong said: "The lord has not risen, how can we eat without permission?"

This time, Lin Nanke was depressed and said: "You are really a piece of wood, if I don't get up in my life, you won't eat in my life?" ”

So, Lin Nan hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hurry up and prepare the meal. Immediately, Lin Nan said: "You can eat when the time comes, you don't have to wait for me, really, what's the use of waiting for me." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Then Zhao Yun said: "Lord, are we going to visit Master Wang tomorrow?"

As soon as he heard Zhao Yun say this, Lin Nan was furious and scolded: "Bastard, what do you call me? You are my brother, what are you called? I'm really angry!"

Seeing that Lin Nan was angry, Zhao Yun retreated with a gloomy expression. Seeing Zhao Yun being scolded, everyone couldn't say anything.

Silence, long silence.

The hall was so quiet that all you could hear was the heartbeat and breathing of the crowd.

After a while, Lin Nan finally came to his senses and felt that he had gone too far.

So, Lin Nan sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Zilong, I've been so annoyed lately, really annoying." ”

Then Lin Nan said again: "Zilong, no matter what position I Lin Ziyang holds in the future, you, Junyi and Ziyi are all my younger brothers, no matter when and where." Others can call me my lord, why do you call me that? Don't you want to recognize me as a big brother?"

As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, Zhao Yun knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried: "Big brother, Yun Zhi is wrong. Seeing Zhao Yun kneeling, Tai Shici also knelt down.

Seeing the three of them like this, Lin Nan hurriedly helped them up and said, "The three virtuous brothers don't have to be like this, I said, you don't have to make this big gift, why are you still like this?"

Then, Lin Nan said: "Zilong, Junyi, Ziyi, no matter when and where, no matter what position I Lin Ziyang holds in the future, the three of you are my own brothers, unless you don't want to recognize me as a big brother." ”

Zhao Yun cried: "What did the eldest brother say, when the four of us got married, I said that I didn't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I would like to die on the same day and month of the same year." Yun is willing to follow his eldest brother all his life, and this will be unswerving. ”

Tai Shici and Zhang He also said in the same voice: "If the eldest brother doesn't dislike me and other stupid, I am willing to follow the eldest brother to the death, and I have no regrets in my life." ”

Listening to Zhao Yuntai Shi Ci Zhang He's words, Lin Nan couldn't help but have mixed feelings, his heart was hot, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. So, the four of them couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, and Chen Gong and others also burst into tears.

After a long time, Lin Nan stopped crying and said, "Why are we, how can we be so children." ”

Immediately, Lin Nan turned his head to Chen Gong and the others and said, "Let everyone laugh." ”

Chen Gong said: "The lord is a man of temperament, bold and dignified, and informal, which is okay. It is a blessing for us to be able to follow the Lord all our lives. ”

Lin Nan said again: "In the past few days, Nan is really annoyed. For the sake of a sesame petty official, Nan actually endured humiliation, groveled, pretended to be in the court, was a hypocrisy in front of others, and also carried a notoriety of being attached to a eunuch, Nan is really bitter. ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "Big brother has good intentions for the people of the world, and I know it. And the eldest brother's personality, we know even more that the eldest brother will never cling to the eunuchs. ”

Chen Gong also said: "Yes, the lord must not give up on himself because of a momentary honor and disgrace. ”

And Dian Wei was furious, shouting: "Who dares to slander the young master, my old pawn will screw off his head and kick the bubbles." ”

Lin Nan smiled bitterly: "Right and wrong, the world has its own public opinion, why should I care about it for a while? ”

At this time, the servant reported that the meal was ready, so everyone hurried to eat.

After dinner, everyone went to rest.

Lying in bed at night, Lin Nan was secretly proud, after such a toss today, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Tai Shici completely admitted that they were the eldest brother, and Chen Gong and others really returned to themselves, with these people, they had the bargaining chips to dominate the world.

Thinking about it, Lin Nan fell asleep beautifully.

The next day, Lin Nan hurried to visit Cai Yong, and at the same time, he also asked Zhao Yun and others to inform Wang Yue that they would leave for Bingzhou three days later.

When he came to Cai's Mansion, Lin Nan was surprised to find that there were many people in the living room. The Yuan brothers are here, the Wei family father and son are also there, and there are still a few strangers who have never met, and Wang Cang and Zhong Xuan, as frequent visitors to Cai's mansion, are naturally there.

After Lin Nan arrived, everyone was in a commotion, after all, Lin Nan was the only one among the people who had an official position.

At this time, Cai Yong had not yet gone down to the court, and the housekeeper Mu Bo was busy entertaining everyone. Lin Nan smiled and said to Wang Cang: "What day is today? Why are so many people here at once?"

Wang Cang also said with a smile: "Today is a good day for your teacher to accept apprentices, and these people are all here to apprentice. ”

Hearing Wang Cang say this, Lin Nan looked at everyone curiously. But Zhong Miao smiled and sat calmly.

Seeing Lin Nan coming in, the Yuan brothers followed.

Yuan Shao said: "Ziyang came just in time, and I will introduce you to a few friends today." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Shao pointed to the person on his left and said, "This is the son of the servant Chun Yu Yue, Chun Yu Qiong Chun Yu Jiurang." He pointed to the two people on his right and said, "This is Cao Mengde, the son of Cao Teng, the Marquis of Feiting, and this is Bao Xin and Bao Yuncheng, the son of Guangluxun Bao Wei." ”

At the same time, Yuan Shao also introduced Lin Nan to everyone.

For others, Lin Nan really didn't care too much, but as soon as he heard that it was Cao Cao, he didn't feel that he had looked at it a few more times, but Cao Cao was also looking at Lin Nan carefully.

After the mutual greeting was over, Lin Nan said politely: "It's really a blessing to meet all my friends today. ”

Before the others could speak, Yuan Shao said: "Ziyang is too polite, Meng De and I have been friends since childhood, and Yuncheng is also my best friend, there are no outsiders here, so I don't have to care about those false courtesies." ”

As soon as he heard Yuan Shao say this, Lin Nan said: "What Brother Ben said is extremely true, and it is just right. ”

But Cao Cao said: "In any case, this is Lord Cai's mansion, and we still need to act according to etiquette, and I also admire Ziyang's talent very much. ”

Lin Nan said: "Meng De is polite, and he is just an ordinary man." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Ziyang, you are not an ordinary man, have you become an immortal?"

With that, everyone burst out laughing.

It is conceivable that when several children of the family get together, what they can talk about is nothing more than some flying eagles and lackeys, eating, drinking and having fun, telling about whose courtesans are beautiful, talking about what they have seen and hearing in various places they have visited, and even showing off their own treasures or something.

A few people were talking, and the family reported that Cai Yong had gone down. With Cai Yong, there are also Taifu Yuan Kui, Taifu Chun Yuyue, Guangluxun Bao Wei, Huangmen Shilang Xun You and others.

Seeing that the adults had arrived, Lin Nan and the others hurriedly saluted the adults.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, the adults explained their intentions. Sure enough, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others came to apprentice.

Cai Yong said: "You love the old man too much, if the boys have any confusion when they are learning, just come and ask the old man, the old man will know everything, and the words are endless." Moreover, since Lao Yu returned to Beijing from Liaodong, he no longer recruits disciples, and Zhong Xuan and Yuan Chang are not my disciples, but the old man has taught them something in name. Therefore, the old man really does not want to be a teacher anymore. ”

When everyone heard Cai Yong say this, they were very discouraged, but there was no way, they all knew that this old man had a stubborn temper, so they didn't say anything more, just said some common things, and then left.

Although Yuan Shao and the others left, Cao Cao did not.

Cao Cao said: "I heard that Ziyang invented Hanyu Pinyin, and created zào out of five and seven character poems and grammatical poems. ”

Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to study the poetry rhythm with Wang Cang, Zhong Xuan, Cao Cao and others.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Cao got up and took his leave. Before leaving, he even said that he had time to ask Lin Nan for advice, which almost didn't make Lin Nan depressed to death, you came to worship Cai Yong as a teacher, and you didn't come to me, why did you keep dragging me and not letting go?

However, Cai Yong admired Cao Cao very much and thought he was extraordinary.

After Cao Cao left, Lin Nan and Wang Cang, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, also bid farewell to Cai Yong and went home separately.

Before going out, Lin Nan said: "Zhong Xuan and Yuan Chang are on the same road with me, but they can go together." Gongda, we don't care about you. ”

Xun You said: "I'm more comfortable alone, listening to your poems and songs for a day, but I don't want to listen to you anymore." ”

As they spoke, the four of them burst out laughing.

After saying goodbye to Xun You, the three of them boarded Lin Nan's carriage.

Sitting in the car, Lin Nan said: "Two days later, Nan will go to Bingzhou, I wonder if the two of you are willing to go together?"

Wang Cang said with a smile: "I said why is this Lin Ziyang so kind and gave us a cheap car to sit in, it turns out that he has a request." ”

Zhong Xuan also smiled and said: "Doesn't Zhong Xuan hear that 'there is no free lunch in the world'? How can we take advantage of such a good bargain in this world? Besides, this Lin Ziyang is extremely treacherous, so we can take advantage of it?"

After that, the three of them laughed again.

Lin Nan also smiled and said: "It's all strict, I'm talking to you about serious things, but you always interrupt." Hurry up, give me an explanation. ”

Wang Cang said: "It's bitter to be in the state, you look at my thin appearance, I go, and I can't toss to death." ”

Zhong Xuan said: "My body is better than him, but I haven't finished my studies yet, Xiaokai hasn't practiced well, and I'm still out of office." ”

Hearing them say this, Lin Nan sighed and said: "I knew that you wouldn't go, it's really in vain, because we still call us brothers and sisters on weekdays, and you can't bear to let me clean up alone? ”

Zhong Xuan said: "But you took the initiative to go to Bingzhou, we didn't force you to go, what does this have to do with us? Besides, don't you still have a public platform and a season around you, and the public station is not a talent of a hundred miles." ”

Lin Nan said with a bitter face: "What I have to face is the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Huns, if I am not careful, I will bury the bones in the grassland." When the time comes, don't forget to take back my bones, I really can't find the whole one, and it's okay to find a bone, at least it will be worthy of our affection. ”

As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, Wang Cang and Zhong Xuan laughed in unison and said, "You are obviously a scoundrel." ”

Lin Nan said: "No matter, anyway, at least one of the two of you has to go with me, otherwise, I will ask Dian Wei to tie you all up." ”

Zhong Miao said with a smile: "You were a scoundrel just now, and you have become a robber again after a while, Lin Ziyang, you can really do it." ”

Immediately, Zhong Xuan said again: "Since you want to be a robber, we have no choice, so let Zhong Xuan go with you." ”

Wang Cang said: "You are really good at pretending to be a good person, you don't go by yourself, push me to the front line, and I really convince you." ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Haven't you always had great ambitions? Ah, Ziyang, I strongly recommend Wang Zhongxuan to be appointed as the Taishou Counselor of Jinyang. ”

Wang Cang said helplessly: "Zhong Yuanchang, I really know you today, and I was careless in making friends." That's it, that's it, I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, bow down and be willing to pave the way. ”

Zhong Xuan smiled: "That's right, Zhong Xuan, you have to be grateful to me, I have introduced you to a shortcut." ”

Wang Cang said: "Forget it, I'd better hurry back and exercise." When the time comes, if I bury my bones, don't forget to collect my body. ”

While the two were talking, Lin Nan arrived home.

So, Lin Nan said: "It's so decided, Zhong Xuan will follow me into the annexation state, but I can't go back." ”

Then, Lin Nan said to Wang Cang: "Zhong Xuan, you pack up your things in the past two days, and you will have to leave with me in two days, if you don't leave, I will let Dian Wei tie you up." ”

Wang Cang said: "I have convinced you, are you two combined, one sings with a red face, the other sings with a black face, one is soft and hard, and the other is rude, if you don't kill me, you won't give up." That's it, in my life, it's bad luck to meet you two. ”

Lin Nan didn't care about Wang Cang's complaints, jumped out of the carriage, turned back to the coachman and said, "Send the two of them home, take care of it, don't let them run away from the halfway." ”

Wang Cang had no choice but to be sent home by Lin Nan's carriage.
