As the face towel was torn off, a young and mediocre face was revealed. Man, no, to be more precise, it should be the young man's face turned pale for a moment, and a pair of small Danfeng eyes glared at Guo Jia with seven points of anxiety and three points of shame. Do? I'm going to be laughed at, and the boy is so entangled in his heart.

However, just when the young man thought that he would be ridiculed, he never thought that Cai Ji didn't even look at him, but came directly to Guo Jia, stretched out three fingers and shook it, "Fengxiao, how much is this?" ”

Guo Jia burped and squinted his eyes and said, "Let me take a closer look......

Seeing this, Cai Ji immediately withdrew his fingers, turned around and shouted outside the house, "The person who came here is drunk again."

"What does the lord command?" The two guards guarding outside hurriedly entered the house and hugged their fists.

"Bonghyo is drunk. Help him out to sober up. Cai Ji pointed to the side, and Guo Jia commanded.

"I'm not drunk. That's three. Guo Jia suddenly stretched out three fingers and replied. But at this time, where is the answer useful. I saw that the two guards didn't listen to Guo Jia's explanation at all under Cai Ji's instructions, and directly helped him up and forked him out.

"It's cold, don't use cold water." After adding with concern, Cai Ji turned around and casually admonished the young man, "Don't learn from him if you have bad habits." ”

"That was Donglai's military advisor Guo Fengxiao just now?" The young man looked at Guo Jia's back in surprise and asked.

"Actually, Bonghyo never drank alcohol when he started the war, but as long as he was free, he would drink high from time to time. Although the government has instructed the wineries in the city not to give him any more wine, it seems that Bonghyo always has a way to get the contents of the cup. After Cai Ji smiled helplessly, he cheered up and asked the young man, "Back to the point, haven't you asked for a title yet?" ”

The young man saw that after the accident just now, Cai Ji still treated him politely as if nothing had happened. In addition to being surprised, the young man also followed Cai Ji's words, adjusted his sitting posture and replied respectfully, "Xiangyang people Pang Tong, Zi Shiyuan." ”

In fact, the anxiety and shame that the young man showed when he took off his face towel were all seen by Cai Ji. Although she didn't know why the boy was wearing a face towel, it was obvious that Guo Jia's actions had stimulated the boy's feelings. So Cai Ji forked Guo Jia out in the above way without saying a word, and invisibly resolved the embarrassment just now. At this moment, seeing that the young man had returned to normal, Cai Ji bowed his head with relief, "It turned out to be Shiyuan." ”

Wait a minute...... Pang Tong? Pang Shiyuan realized who Cai Ji was sitting in front of him, and he was suddenly on the spot. At the same time, I also understood why the young man in front of him cared so much about his appearance. In later generations, Pang Tong was the two major strategists under Liu Bei who was as famous as "Wolong" Zhuge Liang, and was commonly known as "Phoenix Chick". In history, Pang Tong was also the first person who helped Liu Bei win Yizhou and achieve three points of the world. However, because Pang Tong came from a poor family and his appearance was not outstanding, he was unknown when he was young. Later, although he was highly praised by Sima Hui, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, his career was still bumpy. It is said that Liu Bei and later Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, both despised Pang Tong because of his poor appearance. Liu Bei even sent Pang Tong to Leiyang County as a county magistrate, but Pang Tong went on strike in anger, leading to the allusion of "not a hundred miles of talent".

And at this moment, in Cai Ji's opinion, Pang Tong's appearance is indeed a little cold according to the aesthetic concept of this era. The key is that the skin is dark, the eyebrows are eight, and the eyes are a little godless, which is far from the traditional standard of "face like a silver plate, eyes like a meteor", "ape arms and bee waist, long beard and beautiful hair". But as far as Cai Ji's own aesthetics are concerned, Pang Tong's appearance can only be said to be mediocre, not ugly. After all, the interpretation of beauty in later generations is very diverse, even if the eight-character eyebrows and eyes are godless, there are still Colin Farlale and Adrian? Glamorous handsome guys such as Brody. Men, as long as they are talented and temperamental.

Pang Tong on the other end saw that Cai Ji was still polite to him one moment ago, and after hearing the self-report to his home the next moment, he began to look up and down without speaking, and couldn't help but be a little worried. In other words, the reason why Pang Tong came to apply with a face towel was to create momentum and create some sensational effects. Second, I am really afraid that this dignity will affect the application. Besides, Donglai Taishou is a woman. Women love beauty, don't they? If the other party's face makes the other party disgusted, I'm afraid I won't even give it a chance. In short, with the above and other ideas, Pang Tong made a masked farce. And from the first half of the application process, this trick really didn't work. It's just that now that the true face has appeared, will the other party feel ugly and not accept it?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt panicked, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Has the prince heard of Tong?" ”

In this case, of course, Cai Ji couldn't answer the other party, "Wolong, Feng Yan, the two of you have one, but you can settle the world", "I am Feng Xiao Pang Tong" and the like. Besides, Pang Tong is only eighteen years old at the moment, and he should not have met Sima Hui of Shuijing, so it is impossible to get the nickname of "Feng Chick". As for "long-admired daimyo", it is impossible to talk about it. Besides, Jingzhou, where Pang Tong is located, is thousands of miles away from Donglai. Even if he had done something amazing in his hometown, Cai Ji wouldn't. Fortunately, in the past two years, the Eastern Han Dynasty has lived too much, so that Cai Ji has a certain immunity to all kinds of celebrities and celebrities. Although Pang Tong's name is loud, he can't stop her.

I saw Cai Ji at this time shaking his head at Pang Tong with a kind smile and said, "This mansion has never heard of it." I just didn't expect to be so young. ”

Being praised for being young by a sixteen-year-old girl Taishou made Pang Tong feel a little embarrassed. And look at the other party's appearance.,It doesn't seem to care about the appearance.,Only care about what you learn.。 This made Pang Tong feel that the decision to come to Donglai was not. So he hurriedly humbly excused himself and said, "No." The prince of the house, called the commander of the Yuan. ”

"Okay." Cai Ji nodded heartily, and asked again, "Shiyuan came all the way from Jingzhou, I don't know where he lives now?" ”

"Temporarily stay in the mansion outside the city." Pang Tong replied with a little embarrassment. In other words, Pang Tong also brought a lot of entanglements with him when he came to Donglai alone this time. It's just that I never thought that although Donglai's grain is cheap, the rent is raised by those businessmen. In addition, when Pang Tong arrived in Huangxian, Cai Ji was leading his troops to fight in Beihai. Seeing that Pang Tong, who couldn't see the main owner for a while, had to retreat and settle down in a relatively cheap rent outside the city. However, this also gave him more opportunities to contact Longkou Port and contact with Donglai's unique maritime trade. During this period, Pang Tong also visited the manors and Tun villages around Huang County, saw the Donglai car with Donglai characteristics, and heard all kinds of strange things about Xiao Cai Fujun. Therefore, Pang Tong has not been waiting for Cai Ji's class in the past six months, but also inspecting Cai Ji's political achievements.

As soon as Cai Ji heard that Pang Tong lived in Didian, he also knew that he might have no money, so he enthusiastically said, "Didian is complicated. If Shi Yuan doesn't mind, he can move to Taishou Mansion to live. ”

Being able to move out of the place of three religions and nine streams in Didian, Pang Tong couldn't ask for it, and even bowed to Cai Ji and said, "Thank you for taking it in." ”

"Shi Yuan, don't be polite. Since the government has hired you as a lecturer in the martial arts hall, it naturally has to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation for you. Cai Ji waved his hand generously.

In fact, Cai Ji saw that Pang Shiyuan, who had an arrogant personality in history, was so obedient and restrained, and he was really a little uncomfortable for a while. But think about it again, "Three Kingdoms" once commented that Pang Tong was "simple and dull when he was young". Thinking about his unhealthy arrogance and even contradictory behavior in the future, most of them were stimulated by career setbacks and repeated humiliations. And the young man sitting in front of him at this moment has not yet put on a show against his will in order to stand out, and he has not been discriminated against. This is a young and somewhat inferior Pang Shiyuan, a young man who traveled far away from home to seek development.

Thinking of this, Cai Ji immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot, and said to Pang Tong, "Don't hide it from Shiyuan, this mansion set up a martial arts hall, which was originally intended to be used as a sycamore tree to attract phoenixes." I don't know if Shi Yuan would like to be the guest of the house and help the house? ”

Before Pang Tong came to Donglai, he had already seen that Cai Ji set up a martial arts hall and came up with the topic of "Han Xin's soldiers" to recruit talents from all over the world. As for the position of lecturer in the martial arts hall, in Pang Tong's view, it is more like an examination, which tests whether the applicant really has real talent and learning, and then decides whether to introduce him into the scene. In fact, Pang Tong was already ready to lie dormant in the lecture hall for a while. But who knew that the girl in front of him would be recruited into the curtain with just one question and one edge. Although Pang Tong was conceited and had the talent of the world, he still hesitated in the face of Cai Ji's invitation at this moment......

Would it be considered frivolous to promise now?

Or is the other party tempting?

And just when Pang Tong was silent, he saw Cai Ji raise his head and look at him and asked, "Shi Yuan thinks that this mansion is not qualified enough?" Or does Shiyuan feel that he is not qualified enough? ”

"Both...... Neither. Pang Tong replied with a little flustered.

"If so. Then ask Shi Yuan to answer with his heart. Cai Ji smiled.

Eighteen-year-old Pang Tong was taught from an early age to be modest, to be polite, and not to be arrogant. However, this qiē does not seem to apply in the eyes of the female mansion in front of him. The girl's smile was calm, but Pang Tong could see the ambition surging behind the calmness. Suddenly feeling that his heart was hot, he blurted out almost without thinking, "Of course, my Pang Tong is qualified to assist Cai Anzhen"

Yes, this is like a phoenix and Pang Tongren, who is not rash and arrogant. The rules and regulations that I learned in Jingzhou are gone. Donglai has the style of Donglai. Thinking of this, Cai Ji also responded attentively, "I Cai Ji is also qualified to be assisted by Pang Shiyuan"

In this way, the boy and the girl who looked at each other showed a knowing smile almost at the same moment. This bond between the monarch and the minister crosses gender and identity, and crosses the thousand-year-old divide. At this time, Pang Tong couldn't wait to immediately talk to Cai Ji about the many ideas and concepts that had been accumulated in his heart for three days and three nights.

Cai Ji couldn't see Pang Tong's thoughts. Although she couldn't talk at night like the male princes, she often exchanged views with Guo Jia and others in the palace. Therefore, without waiting for Pang Tong to speak, Cai Ji happily said, "Shiyuan will move to Taishou Mansion." After a few days of Mid-Autumn Festival, you can get acquainted with your colleagues and have a good time. ”

"Mid-Autumn Festival? Can the prince of the mansion worship the moon in the mansion? Pang Tong asked with a strange expression.

"Moon viewing, to be exact." Cai Ji nodded in correction.

In fact, it is no wonder that Pang Tong will look strange. According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, the ancient emperors had the custom of sacrificing the day of the spring equinox, the summer solstice, the autumn equinox, and the winter solstice. The places of worship are called the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of Earth, the Temple of the Moon, and the Temple of Heaven. It is located in four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest. Among them, the autumn equinox festival moon is set in the middle of August in the autumn of a year, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". The Book of Rites records the spring and the autumn moon of the Son of Heaven. The morning of the sun, the evening of the setting moon. "The night of the setting moon here refers to the night sacrifice to the moon. However, in the Han Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not yet a fixed festival. In addition, the ancients paid attention to the five elements of yin and yang, believing that the male protagonist is yang and the female protagonist is yin. The moon naturally had to be sacrificed by women. In addition, the wind of sacrificing the moon was only popular among the court nobles, and did not spread to the people. So in Pang Tong's opinion at this time, it is reasonable for Cai Ji to worship the moon as a woman, but it is a little strange to invite men to participate together. However, since the lord opened his mouth to invite, he naturally couldn't refuse it.

So, Pang Tong agreed to Cai Ji's invitation with excitement and curiosity. Because he didn't bring a salute, Pang Tong lived in the Taishou Mansion with a small package on his back the next day. And the Taishou Mansion has a lot of complaints about this mysterious ugly ghost entering the scene. They are speculating behind their backs whether Pang Tong is related to Cai Ji or recommended by a high-ranking person. Otherwise, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is so honorable, and he may act as a staff member of the Taishou. Cai Ji didn't mind these rumors. As the saying goes, Lu Yaozhi horsepower has been popular for a long time, and Pang Tong's talent will eventually gradually appear in the future. No amount of explanation can be used now.

In this way, in the various rumors about the origin of Pang Tong among the people under the Taishou Mansion, it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, Lily of the Valley and Ah Jiu set up an altar of incense for the moon in the garden according to Cai Ji's instructions and prepared a feast. Since there were no moon cakes in the Han Dynasty, Cai Ji had to make Lily of the Valley steam a few pieces of cakes and stamp them with red seals as moon cakes. Once you are ready, wait for the lights to come on and the guests will gather.

Speaking of which, Cai Ji invited a lot of people to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the mansion this time. In addition to Guo Jia, Huang Zhen, Zhang Qing and other civil and military bureaucrats, Duan Zhi, Xu Yue, Zhang Jin and other famous people in the city were also invited, and even craftsmen such as Sai Luban and Ling Huyong were also present. So much so that the originally cold and strict moon worship actually brought a bit of the excitement of moon viewing in the Tang and Song dynasties.

"Huh? Isn't this Shiyuan not skipping words. Zhang Jin, who saw Pang Tong's figure at a glance, took three steps and two steps before stepping forward and greeted.

"Wen Rui, you have also come to Donglai." Pang Tong arched his hand without being salty.

"I'm also here in Donglai. Didn't you see me at the gate last time? I didn't say hello then. Zhang Jin said a word, and then enthusiastically hooked Pang Tong's neck, "Shiyuan, will you be here?" ”

As soon as Zhang Jin's words fell, he heard someone behind him reply, "Shiyuan is engaged in this mansion." ”

"I've seen Cai Fujun." Zhang Jin let go of Pang Tong, and after respectfully saluting Cai Ji, he asked with a little surprise, "Fu Jun said, Shi Yuan is engaged in?" ”

Cai Ji smiled and said no. At the end of the year, Shi Yuan will go to Xudu with the mansion to face the saint. ”
