"It's okay, it's okay, the drama actually has self-knowledge. It's just that ordinary people make fun of the play, and we only think that he has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, and he doesn't know what the play is good at. I only hope that Marquis Wu Yong can be different from ordinary people...... In other words, Wu Yonghou thinks that the play is useful? ”

Xi Zhicai waved his hand and said, and then asked very seriously.

"Oh? Why? Liu Xian was a little surprised, thinking that this drama was a bit of a self-recommendation. You must know that Liu Xian can learn a thing or two about Xi Zhicai's ability in historical materials, but he is Cao Cao's early military advisor and was deeply used by Cao Cao, but unfortunately he died young and was not very famous in later generations. A lot of history is just a mention of knowing that there is such a person.

If Xi Zhicai can serve himself, Liu Xian is naturally the happiest.

But Liu Xian didn't show too much urgency, looked at Xi Zhicai, and then set his eyes on Xun Yu's body.

Xun Yu seemed to be a little funny at this time, and hugged his fist at Liu Xian and said: "Don't mind Wu Yonghou, Xun's friend is uninhibited and free by nature, and many times he does it spontaneously. Well, by the way, Xun came to meet Marquis Wu Yong this time, in fact, there are two things, one of which is ......"

"Uh, Mr. Xun, please wait." Liu Xian interrupted at this time: "Don't be in a hurry to get down to business, let's sit down first, standing and talking like this is not the way of hospitality, let alone two distinguished guests, come, please sit!" Come on, tea! ”

Liu Xian invited them to sit down, and then asked the maid to serve tea.

Seeing Xun Yu sitting on the left chief, Xi Zhi was honest and unceremonious, and sat down on the right chief. Then he said: "Marquis Wu Yong, how can it be enough just tea?" I heard that the newly opened Tianlou is also the property of Wu Yonghou, and the wine served by Tianlou is the best liquor in the world today. The play is shy in the wrapping, but there is no money left to go to the sky tower to taste, it is rare to come to the Wuyong Marquis Mansion once, it is better for the Marquis Wu Yong to be gracious, let the play drink enough at a time, how about it? ”

"Ha, I thought Mr. Xi was a literati and didn't drink well, since that's the case, don't say anything else, but this food and drink is guaranteed to be enough!"

This is a trivial matter, and Liu Xian will immediately let people bring wine and food.

"Marquis Wu Yong, two things, the first is a personal matter." Xun Yu didn't wait for the maid of the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion to send him wine and food, he took a sip of tea and said: "My father set a family affair for Xun when he was a child. Xun came to Beijing this time for the family affair set that year. ”

What Xun Yu said is also recorded in historical materials, and Liu Xian also read some things about him from the memory in his mind. However, there is no detailed record of these events. Therefore, Liu Xian didn't know when Xun Yu completed this family affair.

This Xun Yu, the word Wenruo, Yingchuan Yingyin (person, a famous politician and strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's chief strategist and hero to unify the north.

He was born in 163 and is now 186 years old, that is, 23 years old.

Xun Yu's Xun family is the Yingyin family. His grandfather was famous all over the world and was called the Divine King; There are eight sons under it, known as the eight dragons, all of whom are knowledgeable and amazing.

When he was still Emperor Huan, Xun Yu's father served as the minister of Jinan, and one of his uncles, Xun Shuang, served as the secretary. At that time, because he was afraid of the eunuchs of the imperial court, he planned to befriend the eunuchs, so he married the daughter of Tang Heng, who was a regular servant at that time. This is actually just a baby kiss, and at that time, Xun Yu and Tang Heng's daughters were also just born.

In the seventh year of Yanxi, that is, in 163, Tang Heng died of illness. This is equivalent to just after the doll was decided, Tang Heng, the middle attendant, died.

The Xun family is in Yingchuan, which is actually somewhat similar to Wang Yun's Wang family's situation in Shanxi. They are very famous in their own family places, but their foundations in the court are somewhat weak. The Xun family wanted to befriend Tang Heng, who was always in the court, but in fact, they also wanted to occupy a place in the court.

At that time, the eunuchs in the palace were not the current ten permanent servants, but the eunuchs who held the authority in the palace were five, known as the "five marquis", and Tang Heng, the middle permanent servant, was one of them.

It's a pity that as soon as Tang Heng died, the efforts made by the Xun family were tantamount to waste. In the imperial court, he failed to take advantage of the situation. Soon after, Xun Shuang, who was already in the middle of the court, was not ambitious in the court, and he had no ambitions but could not display them, he wrote to the court, put forward some of his own political proposals, abandoned the official and left, and soon after, he suffered the second party disaster, and avoided overseas for more than ten years. It was not until 184 that the imperial court lifted the party and recruited Xun Shuang, but he did not answer the call.

Now, Xun Yu came to Beijing to discuss marriage, probably planning to complete the marriage contract with the Tang family. Then, using this as a springboard, the Xun family will return to the court stage?

It is undeniable that Liu Xian feels that there are some such purposes.

Otherwise, the marriage contract between men and women in this era will generally be completed around the age of sixteen, and will not be delayed until the age of twenty.

Of course, there are indeed many reasons for this, after all, when Tang Heng died, the Tang family must have slowly lost power. And the Tang family is like this, how can the Xun family take advantage of the situation? In addition, the marriage contract back then was just a doll kiss, even if there was a marriage agreement, but the two families didn't have much relationship at that time, so they naturally became estranged later.

However, Xun Yu's relatives, what did he come to tell him? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.

Therefore, Liu Xian was a little puzzled and said: "Mr. Wenruo, your relatives?" What does it have to do with visiting Benhou? ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly at this time: "Originally, it didn't matter. Our Xun family and Tang family...... Well, it's the woman, Xun's father-in-law is Tang Heng, a regular servant in the original dynasty, but he has been dead for many years. Although the power of the Tang family in the court is not as good as before, after all, there is still a certain foundation in the ......"

"Wen Ruo, do you mean to say that the Tang family is making things difficult for you now?" Liu Xian interrupted.

"No, no, it's not, speaking of which, this is also our Xun family's pity for the Tang family, especially the Tang family's young lady. Miss Tang had been waiting for Xun to come to the door to propose, and she had been waiting for Xun for a marriage contract when she was a baby. But what do you say about some things? It's really hard to say in a word, so I won't go into details. Xun came to Beijing this time, and when he arrived at the Tang family, the Tang family was also quite satisfied with Xun, and they also met Miss Tang, and she ...... Not bad. ”

"Haha, isn't that good? It should be that as soon as the spring breeze and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world, right? You and Miss Tang are right? If you agree to agree, this family affair should be no problem. Liu Xianyan said with a smile.

Xun Yu's face turned red when he was laughed at by Liu Xian, and he said abruptly: "Well, this, this can be regarded as such." But the people of the Tang family still have some resentment towards our Xun family in their hearts. Therefore, he gave Xun a problem, saying that as long as we can do this, then let Xun marry Miss Tang. ”

"Oh? So what does this have to do with Ben Hou? ”

"Yes, in a few days, it will be the sixtieth birthday of Tang Ji's mother, that is, Xun's future mother-in-law. The people of the Tang family said that as long as Xun could invite Miss Ying'er and Miss Diao Chan from the Tianlou to the Tang family to sing and dance for my mother-in-law and celebrate her birthday, then Xun would pass the test. ”

When Xun Yu said this, he looked at Liu Xian with some embarrassment: "Xun has inquired, and Miss Ying'er turned out to be from the draft workshop, and her name is very famous." In the past, in the draft workshop, it was difficult for ordinary people to invite her, but now she seems to be a person from Tianlou. And Tianlou, although it is a newly opened restaurant, but the young lady here is even more difficult to invite, so far there is no example of anyone who can invite them to perform for whom. Also, your Tianlou is different from those ordinary Qinglou, it is very decent inside, and you don't engage in the Qinglou set. Therefore, Xun thought about it, but he only came directly to meet Wu Yonghou, the owner of the Tianlou, and wanted to ask you to be accommodating and allow the two young ladies to go to Tang's house. ”

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he stood up, bowed to Liu Xian with a sincere face, and said: "This is Xun's private matter, if Xun needs to pay any price to make the two young ladies make the trip, then please also ask Wu Yonghou to make it clear." ”

"Oh, that's interesting, I see." After Liu Xian heard what Xun Yu said, he waved his hand at him with some amusement and said, "Mr. Wenruo, you don't have to be so polite. These are all trivial matters, so what is the cost? That's good, when the time comes, Ben Hou will let the two young ladies go to the Tang family. In addition, other singers and dancers and musicians can go together to celebrate your mother-in-law's birthday. If he could, Ben Hou could go all the way to congratulate Wen Ruo's mother-in-law on her birthday. Hehe, seriously, Ben Hou also wants to see you and Miss Tang, talented and beautiful, lovers eventually become married, and leave a good story of talented and beautiful people for the world. ”

"Really? Marquis Wu Yong, did you agree to let the two young ladies go to the Tang family to perform? Xun Yu was pleasantly surprised at this time, originally he thought it wouldn't be so easy, but he didn't think that Liu Xian would agree so easily?

"It's all said that these are small things. Well, when the time comes, you can send someone to lead the way. ”

"Well, thank you so much. Well, by the way, the two young ladies need a certain amount of money to travel, so let's do it, Wu Yonghou said a number, Xun will never bargain. ”

"Wen Ruo! When you say that, you just don't take me Liu Xian as a friend. And said you'd already inquired about it. First of all, my Miss Tianlou is not an ordinary Miss Qinglou, ordinary people, it is impossible to invite them at all. And they perform in the sky, that is their interest and hobby, definitely not for money. Secondly, you and I are destined to know each other, we are friends, we are friends, don't talk about those vulgar and cheesy things. Liu Xian said very seriously.

"Well, it's Xun Moumou. Well, since that's the case, then Xun won't mention those. However, if you have a place to get my Xun, please also ask, you and I Xun are friends, then Xun can also have a heart-to-heart. ”

"Ha, don't, your heart, it's better to keep your heart to talk to your Miss Tang family. Well......" Liu Xian paused for a moment and said, "That's it, if you really feel sorry for it, Liu really wants to ask you for help with something." ”

"What?" Xun Yu's face is upright.

"Well, it's not a big deal, it's like this, when Ben Hou was summoned to the capital by the imperial court, he opened academies in Yangshi County and Liulin City. In the academy, there should still be a shortage of gentlemen. I would like to point out that the seowon I opened is completely different from ordinary seowons. ”

"Wait, Marquis Wu Yong, you said you opened an academy? What's different about your college? ”

At this time, Xi Zhicai, who was munching on the case, suddenly asked.

"Specifically, it is difficult to explain clearly in three words. Anyway, the biggest difference is that the academy has no class of teaching, and the students recruited are not limited to the children who are able to study. My college is so that all local children, teenagers, youth, and even the elderly can enter the academy to study. Especially for children, Yangshi County and Liulin City, where I live, have clear regulations that no matter what the reason, as long as children over the age of six are sent to the academy they opened. Since then, the college has been divided into elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university department. In addition, the disciplines offered are also different from those of the current colleges, and are specifically divided into Chinese Studies, Mathematics Studies, and Alien Languages. History, geography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other disciplines, and in the future, there will be physics, biochemistry and so on. ”

Xi Zhicai listened, his face turned dark, and he shouted: "Marquis Wu Yong, aren't you messing around?" As you mentioned, there is also a clear rule that all school-age children must attend your college, and there are so many additional subjects. Leave aside whether those people can learn it. How much tuition is required? You won't forcibly collect money from the people through this, will you? ”

"Uh, Mr. Xi, don't worry, it's Ben Hou who forgot to say it. This is probably the biggest difference from other colleges. The academy I set up is basically completely free. It even includes the cost of room and board for most people, and it is completely free. ”

"What? Totally free? That's impossible! ”

"How is this possible?"

After hearing this, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu didn't believe in the Tao one after another.

"For Ben Hou, things are man-made, and there is nothing impossible to impossible. You can not believe it, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, you can go to Yangshi County and Liulin City to see for yourself. This is also what I want to say to Wen Ruo. I'm not forcing you to do anything, I just hope that if you get married and have nothing to do for a while, then you can go to Julu Yangshi County, Jizhou to have a look. Even, with Miss Tang, it is better to go to play. If you go to the place and see it with your own eyes, and feel that what Ben Hou said is the truth, then please stay in the academy there, and don't ask for a long time, you can be a gentleman in the academy, half a year, a year, if it is three or five years, it is the best. The college has the rules of the college, and the hired gentleman, depending on the ability of the gentleman, will have a generous remuneration and salary. ”

Liu Xian said.
