"Haha, Bonghyo, you're here!"

A middle-aged man walked out of the village, only to see that he was heroic between his eyebrows, with a fierce expression, more than seven feet tall, and a handsome figure.

This person is none other than Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw that the person outside the village was Guo Jia, so he laughed heartily.

"Lord, you, do you remember me?"

Seeing that Cao Cao actually recognized him at a glance, Guo Jia's eyes widened in surprise.

Cao Cao walked forward with a smile and patted Guo Jia's shoulder, and said, "What stupid things are you talking about?" You are my good brother, how could I not recognize you? ”

Cao Cao said, pointing to the manor behind him, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go in and drink, and talk while drinking!" ”

Guo Jia was full of doubts, thinking when he would become Cao Cao's good brother again? Although he was trusted by Cao Cao in the army, and they talked about it like close friends in private, it was still inappropriate to call him a brother.

Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's puzzled face, but he didn't care so much, and took Guo Jia's hand and walked in.

Guo Jia couldn't resist Cao Cao's hospitality, so he had to follow him in.

When I arrived at the manor, I saw that it was full of rural atmosphere, and a vegetable field was opened up in a corner of the manor, where a lot of vegetables were planted, and poultry were running everywhere, completely like a farmhouse.

Cao Cao noticed Guo Jia's surprised expression, so he smiled and said: "If you have nothing to do, you can learn in the garden and chat for comfort."

。 ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's rare for the lord to have this Yaxing, chanting poems and cultivating crops in this quiet place, which is enviable!" ”

At this time, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Some people are here, dreaming of sleeping at night, cultivating arboriculture, and calluses their hands and feet to support their relatives, but there is no name of filial piety, why not?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "Is the person who is disrespectful? Words are not inferior to? Bad color? The ancients said: 'Clothes with, Miao with, don't talk to women.' 'Sleeping at night, cultivating arboriculture, and callousing hands and feet to support their relatives, without these three, how can there be no name of filial piety? ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, the two clapped their palms and laughed.

What they said was actually a disciple of Confucius in ancient times, and Zilu asked Confucius.

What Cao Cao said meant: There is such a person, who gets up early and goes to bed late, cultivates crops, and grinds thick skins on his hands and feet to support his relatives, but he does not gain the reputation of a filial son, why is this?

And the meaning of Guo Jia's answer is: Is this person's behavior respectful in front of his parents? Is the word harmonious? Is the attitude submissive? In old times it was said, 'Give me clothes, give me food, and give it to me respectfully, and if you are not respectful, you will not be depended on.'" Now this man gets up early and goes to bed late, cultivates crops, and grinds thick skins on his hands and feet to support his relatives, and does not have any of the above three conditions, then why has he not gained the reputation of a dutiful son?

In fact, there is another sentence of Confucius in the back, which is like this: My language girl, although she has the strength of a national warrior, cannot lift herself; It's powerless, it's overwhelming. Therefore, if you enter and do not cultivate, you will also be guilty of sin; Out of the name is not in order, and friends are also wrong. Therefore, if the gentleman enters, he will do it, and if he goes out, he will be virtuous, what is the name of filial piety?

Meaning: I tell you, even with the strength of the nationally famous Hercules, you can't lift your body on your own, it's not that you don't have the strength, but that the objective situation doesn't allow it. Therefore, it is his own sin that a gentleman does not behave in a proper manner at home; It is the sin of a friend not to be well-known outside. Therefore, a gentleman makes his conduct loyal and kind at home, and makes friends with virtuous people when he goes out. If this can be done, how can there be no reputation for filial piety?

Cao Cao said this to Guo Jia to tease himself, and Guo Jia replied to him in the original text, and the two tacitly understood what it meant, so they both laughed.

Guo Jia flashed a thought and asked Cao Cao: "What kind of poem did Guo Jia hear the lord chanting outside the manor before?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "This is the 'Pickle Dew Walk' I made!" ”

It turns out that this is Cao Cao's own poems, Guo Jia can't help but feel that his lord's talent is really extraordinary, if he Guo Jia gives advice, it's okay, when it comes to poetry, he can't do it, this is the ancients: the ruler is short, the inch is long, but this wise saying to Cao Cao will not work, because Cao Cao is not only proficient in the art of war, good at leading troops to fight, government affairs, diplomacy, and even poetry and songs are all complete, it is simply a god, if there is an amazing man in martial arts, That's really not letting anyone else live.

After hearing this, Guo Jia sighed with emotion: "Shallot on the dew, He Yixi." The Ming Dynasty has fallen, when will people return when they die? ”

Meaning: The scattered dew on the shallots is so easy to dry up. When the dew dries up, it will fall again tomorrow, and once a person's life is gone, when will it return?

What Guo Jia chanted was an elegy in the Han Dynasty, the name was "Pickle Dew", which was sung by the person who led the coffin during the funeral, and "Pickle Dew" and another poem "Artemisia Li" turned out to be a poem, which is said to have come from Tian Heng's disciples during the Chu and Han dynasties.

Tian Heng was born in the clan of Qi during the Warring States Period, and once established himself as the king of Qi during the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but after the defeat of the army, he fled to the island with 500 guests. After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Tian Heng was recruited by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. After committing suicide on the way to Luoyang because he was unwilling to surrender, his protégé composed this elegy to mourn him. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the court musician Li Yannian divided it into two songs, "Pickle Dew" to bid farewell to the princes and nobles, and "Artemisia Li" was used to bid farewell to the scholars and concubines.

Cao Cao's poems take the shallot dew line as the name, not only the name is similar, but also the meaning of compassion for heaven and man, worry about the country and the people between the lines, and the ancients have the same thing as the shallot dew, so Guo Jia immediately thought of it.

Cao Cao said: "The Han family is unfortunate, Li Min is hanging upside down, and Cao has nothing to do, so he can only mourn his misfortune." ”

Guo Jia tentatively asked, "How long does the lord plan to stay here?" ”

Cao Cao just wanted to answer, but then he heard someone in the room shouting: "Ah Pu, who is here?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's my good brother who came to see me!" ”

The man in the room hurriedly said, "In that case, why don't you come in quickly?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Look at me, patronizing and talking, I even forgot the etiquette, Fengxiao, let's go in quickly!" ”

As he spoke, he led Guo Jia into the house.

Open the door, the decoration inside is also quite simple, just like ordinary people's homes, far less spacious and elegant than the Cao Mansion in Puyang City, there are beds and desks in the room, even if it is simple, the bookshelves on the side are still full of all kinds of books, Guo Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it, thinking that fortunately Cao Cao has not sunk into despair.
