Episode 0356: Where does joy come from?

November 189.

Peng Yu and his entourage worked non-stop, and finally crossed Hangu Pass and headed for Luoyang.

Carriage, galloping.

"General, how wise your arrangement is, the Xiliang war is handed over to Jia Xu, the political affairs are handed over to Xun Yu, Chang'an is entrusted to Xu Huang, and Xi Zhicai is transferred to Jia Xu's side as a right-hand man, tsk, the general can sit back and relax."

"Humph!"

"General, it has only been a few months since the leader led the army to Xiliang, and he actually broke hundreds of thousands of rebels in Xiliang in one fell swoop, and Xiliang is already under the control of the general, tsk, high, really high."

"Humph!"

"General, why don't you try the wine made by Feng Xiao himself? Tsk, good wine, good wine. ”

Peng Yu looked at Guo Jia beside him with an unhappy face, originally Peng Yu was angry and "assigned" Guo Jia, but after calming down, he actually felt a little unhappy, but when he saw Guo Jia who was "assigned" to Chang'an for reflection, he found that he was white and fat, pampered, drunk and dreaming of death every day, where is it like a person who reflects on himself, it is obviously just a happy life.

Guo Jia smiled flatteringly, "General, do you have a taste?" ”

Peng Yu took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking at the white and chubby Guo Jia, he was angry, and scolded sharply, "Mr. Jia said that there will be joy in Luoyang on this trip, let me ask you, do you know where the joy comes from?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned, "This ......"

Peng Yu sneered all over his face, "Hmph, since you don't know, why don't you quickly retreat and ride a horse?" ”

Guo Jia's face was full of bitterness, "General, Fengxiao is really not suitable for riding a horse, so let me stay in the carriage." ”

"Hmph, when you figure out where the joy is, you can come in again, and don't retreat."

Guo Jia frowned, "Yes, General." ”

"Wine for Lao Tzu!"

……

……

In Luoyang, Yuan's house.

Yuan Er stood outside the study and looked at it for a long time, and found that the old man still had a bad face, Yuan Er didn't dare to break in now, for fear of provoking the old man to be angry again, Yuan Er sighed in his heart, he didn't know what to do, and he was in a dilemma.

The person with a blue face in the study is naturally Yuan Kui, who suffered such a great humiliation in Xiliang, and on the day he returned to Luoyang, he had to sing praises to Peng Yu with a smile, and it was already an excellent physical fitness to die on the spot, and when he returned to the study, his face was naturally very ugly.

Someone who listened seemed to sigh outside the study, and Yuan Kui said coldly, "Who is outside the study?" ”

Yuan Er was taken aback, and immediately took a few quick steps, "Master, Sima Lang has been waiting for a long time to ask to see you." ”

Yuan Kui frowned and said, "What did he come to look for me?" ”

Yuan Er had a bitter face, and said secretly in his heart, the master is afraid that he is confused, I said that he is a housekeeper, but in fact he is a janitor, how can the eldest son of the Sima family talk to me? But when the master asked, Yuan Er didn't dare not answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Master, looking at Lord Sima's face, it seems that there is something to be happy about." ”

Yuan Kui heard the happy news, his face improved slightly, and the Sima family and the Yuan family have always been very friendly, Yuan Kui sighed and muttered, "Let him come." ”

"Yes, master" Yuan Er was relieved and hurriedly found Sima Lang to come.

After a while, Sima Lang brought.

Sima Lang looked at Yuan Kui with joy on his face, and raised his hand: "Sima Lang, meet Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Kui had already put away the anger on his face, and changed it to a happy look, "Why be polite, the virtuous nephew still remembers to come to visit the old man, okay." ”

Sima Lang smiled and said, "Uncle has returned from Xiliang, I haven't seen guests for a long time, Boda is here to visit my uncle, and I have something to ask for." ”

Yuan Kui laughed, "It's bothering the virtuous nephew, okay, okay, the virtuous nephew is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, the virtuous nephew might as well say clearly, what is the matter with the virtuous nephew?" ”

Sima Lang smiled and said, "Lord Yuan has returned from Xiliang, and he must have had a good relationship with Xiliang Thorn Shi Peng Yu, I don't know how General Peng is in the eyes of my uncle?" ”

Yuan Kui's face was still full of joy, hearing Peng Yu's name, he seemed to be radiant, touched his beard and said with a smile, "Don't hide it from the virtuous nephew, don't look at Peng Xiaozi in a high position, but he respects the old man very much, and always treats him with a nephew courtesy, and his people are brave and resourceful in marching and fighting, and they are really the pillars of the Han Dynasty. ”

What Yuan Kui said was clearly a pair of elders' affection for their sons and nephews, Sima Lang heard this, his face was even more happy, and he couldn't help asking, "It turns out that Lord Yuan and Peng Tingshi are so close?" ”

Yuan Kui was angry when he heard this, but his face was still silent, Yuan Kui suffered from Peng Yu's bullying in Xiliang, but after he returned to Luoyang, he was threatened by Peng Yu and had to do so, and secondly, he represented the face of the Yuan family, how could he cry and complain to others, the Yuan family was belittled by Peng Yu in Xiliang and was worthless? As the saying goes, people praise people high, people step on people low, how can Yuan Kui, who has been in the officialdom for decades, not know this truth?

In this way, Yuan Kui was in Luoyang, and everywhere he was outside, he praised Peng Yu with a spring breeze on his face in an elder tone, so everyone thought that Yuan Kui had a very happy relationship with Peng Yu in Xiliang, so Yuan Kui was full of praise for Peng Yu.

Yuan Kui laughed and said, "What the virtuous nephew said, if it is a little inappropriate, the old man and Peng Xian's nephew are not good friends, at best, the old man attaches great importance to this son." ”

When Sima Lang heard this, his heart was even more overjoyed, no wonder Yuan Kui returned from Xiliang and sang praises to Peng Yu in the court every day, it turned out that Peng Yu was so valued by Yuan Kui, so that the second brother entrusted himself with something, presumably he could also be a little more sure.

Sima Lang's face was straight, and he saluted Yuan Kui and said, "Boda has something to ask for, and I ask my uncle to help." ”

Yuan Kui smiled with a smile on his face, "But it doesn't matter, as long as the old man can do his best, the old man will help." ”

Sima Lang's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Don't hide it from my uncle, there is a younger brother under Boda, named Sima Yizi Zhongda, Zhongda is nonsense by nature, when he went out to play, he fell in love with a girl, Boda came here for Zhongda, and wanted to ask Lord Yuan to be a matchmaker on behalf of the Sima family, so as to solve the pain of the second brother's lovesickness, I don't know if my uncle is willing to help him?" ”

Yuan Kui was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be such a thing, you must know that the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family are famous families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are many people who come to ask the Yuan family to be a matchmaker and set a marriage.

On the premise of not harming one's own interests, he does not hesitate to help others, which is also the way of the Yuan family that has been prosperous for hundreds of years.

Yuan Kui smiled and said, "The Sima family and the Yuan family have been friends for generations, why are the virtuous nephews so different, how can they worry about trivial matters, I don't know which girl was taken by the Sima family, and told the old man that the old man should go in person." ”

Sima Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, uncle, since you have your uncle's permission, Boda should immediately ask your father to come and discuss with your uncle again, and Boda will retire for the time being." ”

Sima Lang just wanted Yuan Kui to send someone there, after all, this was just a matchmaker, and it was not a big deal, but he didn't expect Yuan Kui to agree to go in person, this is not something that Sima Lang can discuss with Yuan Kui, he must invite his father to come, otherwise it will be too rude.

Of course, Yuan Kui knew that Sima Lang came just to probe the wind, and seeing Sima Lang turn around and want to go, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "I don't know which girl it is, the old man is so prepared." ”

Sima Lang immediately turned around, his face was full of embarrassment, and he clasped his fists and saluted, "The girl that my brother likes is none other than the daughter of Luoyang Peng Bo, the sister of Peng Yu, and Diao Chan." ”

"Ahh Yuan Kui was taken aback and looked at Sima Lang in a daze.

Even when Sima Lang had been away for a long time, Yuan Kui was still in shock and had not yet woken up.
