This night, for many, was a sleepless night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yuan Kui drove everyone out at this time, and was alone in the study, setting up the chessboard, slowly falling, and after a while, he had already set up an endgame on the chessboard.

The Han Dynasty had not yet officially proposed the Eight Methods of Qi Nourishment, but the Confucian way of calming the mind and cultivating Qi was already something that everyone who studied Confucianism must understand and pursue. Hand talk gradually became popular in the Han Dynasty and became one of the ways for the scholars to cultivate their qi, and even Ban Gu wrote a special article for Go to establish the status of Go among the high-level people in society at that time.

Yuan Kui was influenced by his brother Yuan Feng, and also preferred this way, once upon a time, the two brothers often sat down and talked to each other, not about winning or losing, only the friendship between brothers.

Yuan Kui faced this endgame, and his old eyes were a little shining.

This game is the last unfinished game between him and his brother Yuan Feng, and he is finally going to finish it today.

That night happened to be the time when the disaster of the party was launched. At that time, the entire Luoyang City will be in flames all night, the soldiers and armor will be roaring, and I don't know how many Qingliu scribes will be ruined and killed, and their heads will be in different places.

That night, Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng were terrified, and they forced themselves to sit calmly and play against each other in the hall, waiting for the unpredictable verdict. Fortunately, Emperor Ling of Han did not agree with the eunuch's handling of Yuan Feng, and the Yuan family was spared. But later, although his brother Yuan Feng was never dismissed, he was also implicated for a while, and since then he has been in a slump, which eventually led to his death from depression.

Since then, Yuan Kui has hated the eunuchs to the core, but helplessly, the eunuchs were so powerful at that time that Yuan Kui could only endure and lie in wait.

Tonight is the same as then, the fire is full of Luoyang, and the armor is running around, but the difference is that this time it is the eunuchs who have fallen to the ground.

Years of layout have finally come to an end.

Yuan Kui and He Jin have no hatred, strictly speaking, the Qingliu class of the scholar family can spray their relatives to death on weekdays, but there are not many people who really regard their relatives as enemies of life and death.

Because the scholar family knows that relatives often change, at most a few years, when the favored person in the palace is fading, and the person is old, the relatives who are in the limelight will also fall one day.

But eunuchs are different, beauties often change, eunuchs don't change often!

Yuan Kui waited for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity, taking advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the older generation of eunuchs did not immediately get closer to the new emperor, provoked the contradictions between relatives and eunuchs, and constantly added fuel to the fire, and even did not hesitate to use the hidden son who had been ambushed for many years, and finally successfully pulled all the opponents into the abyss of death.

He Jin, a general of his relatives, died.

The eunuchs, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other cadres died.

Yuan Kui stretched out his hand and lifted the black dragons on the chessboard one by one, threw them on the ground, raised his head high, and watched with contempt as the black chess pieces rolled down on the ground.

A cold smile appeared on Yuan Kui's lips.

"It's a pity that I can't ......do it all," Yuan Kui knocked on the two small black chess pieces in the corner of the chessboard, "It's okay, after all, the avenue is fifty, and the sky is forty-nine, so these two people have a big ...... this fate."

"But...... In the next game, will you still have such luck? ”

****************

A team of mighty soldiers and horses meandered along, which was the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Dong Zhuo of Xiliang.

Li Ru, Li Wenyou is in the carriage at this moment, borrowing a wind lantern, setting up the chessboard, black and white chess pieces fighting each other between the chessboards, you have me, I have you, and in the end they both became a situation of robbery, killing and robbery.

Is it a five-five win?

Li Ru pinched the chess pieces, carefully examined them to the point where he could no longer play, snorted coldly, and swept all the chess pieces on the chessboard aside.

Since the old game can no longer be played, let's start a new one!

Li Ru lifted the curtain of the carriage door and gave an order: "Pass on my military order, spread the left and right wings for twenty miles each, and raise more torches and flags to make a strong noise!" The whole army accelerated to Luoyang! We must arrive in Luoyang before tomorrow's eclipse! Those who miss the deadline, slash! ”

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's army suddenly swelled and rushed towards Luoyang City like a big net.

***********

Fei Qian and Cui Hou were also in the small courtyard hall, setting up the chessboard players to talk about a game.

Although the noise in the city gradually subsided, after this commotion, the two of them no longer had any sleep, and when they met, they went to the small hall to play chess to kill time.

"I don't know which son is in trouble when he brings back the two of them, and I don't know which son is ......in trouble here," Cui Hou patted his son and asked casually. Cui Hou's mind didn't use much on those two children at all, he estimated that the son of a fire in Luoyang City had just run away in a panic.

Fei Qian also replied casually: "I don't know, but seeing that the two of them are young and frightened, it's not easy to ask in detail, let's talk about it after dawn." ”

Cui Hou said "ha" and said jokingly: "Brother Xian also said that people are young, dare to ask Brother Xian this year?" ”

"The old man is actually just young, in fact, the old man is already sixty and five!" Fei Qian was also very cooperative, put on a straight face and said.

Cui Hou laughed after hearing this, grabbed a chess piece and put it on the chessboard, "Okay, okay, I'll take it, you won......" casually ordered the maids who were waiting on the side to go down and make some new tea and exchange some pastries.

When the maid was far away, Cui Hou wiped the corners of his eyes with some tears on his smile, and bowed to Fei Qian: "My family has strictly thanked Xiao Langjun!" The Cui family admits this friendship today, Lang Jundan is driven, and the Cui family will definitely obey! ”

Fei Qian hurriedly helped Cui Hou up, "An can accept such a big gift from his brother?" ”

"Well deserved! Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother is no less than the nectar of a long drought for my family," Cui Hou smiled bitterly and nodded, "Don't look at it now, in fact, my Cui family is already a strong outsider." ”

"How so?"

Cui Hou nodded and slowly explained to Fei Qian.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

The Cui family originally originated from the surname Jiang, the ancestor was Jiang Taigong, the ancestor was the Yan Emperor Shennong, the eldest son of Ding Gongling, the monarch of Qi in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Zi had eaten in Cui Yi, and the descendants took Yi as the clan, which was the surname Cui in Shandong, so it is said that Linzi in Shandong is the birthplace of the Cui family.

However, in the process of the Cui family's branches, Cui Lie's branch was quite successful in business, and it continued to accumulate over the years, and slowly developed from Shandong to the Heluo region, and took root in Luoyang.

By the time of Cui Lie's generation, the Cui family in Shandong had already declined, and the position of the head of the family fell to Cui Lie.

Of course, there is still a fierce competition here, and it is unknown.

Cui Lie, who won the competition, was originally also a wealthy family, at that time Cui Lie was a businessman and a good scholar, when he first became a boss, he was indeed in full swing, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, as Cui Lie was beaten by the eunuchs, the loss of the official was not counted and the house was raided, and the family wealth had gone to eighty percent, and then Cui Lie was ill and finally died.

Although Cui Lie passed the position of the head of the family to Cui Yi before he died, this position at this time was no less than a hot potato, because there were already side branches eyeing the position of the head of the family.

The head of the family has a lofty position in the whole family, in ancient times, the head of the family has the control of the family tree, the ancestral hall, and the family insiders can be said to have a very lethal right - the power of elimination, which is no less than the power of life and death for the disciples of the ancient family.

Therefore, he was already disgraced and ruined, and if he lost the position of the head of the family at this time, then Cui Yi and Cui Hou would be completely degraded, and there would be no more future.

Fortunately, Cui Lie still has a lot of popularity in the court, and Cui Yi was able to temporarily keep the position of the head of the family, but after all, the favor will be weak, and there will be a day when it will eventually run out, so in order to maintain Cui Yi's status as the head of the family, the Cui family has not known how much floating wealth has been distributed over the years, not only to maintain the manor manpower expenditure, but also to make friends with the ministers of the court, and even the family has almost been hollowed out in a few years.

However, these high-ranking officials and nobles in the DPRK and China basically do not pay attention to ordinary gold and silver, and they like some rare treasures, but these rare treasures are not weeds in the field, how can they be found everywhere?

As a last resort, the Cui family could only collect money everywhere, and every time they collected one, they basically paid tribute to the officials of the court.

Fei Qian nodded secretly, I see, no wonder there are rumors in the market that the Cui family designs treasures that pit people, it seems that the reason is here.

Now, with Fei Qian's method of improving the glass making method, the Cui family means that they have a hen that can lay golden eggs, and first of all, they don't have to search for treasures like headless flies everywhere, and their own glass is a treasure; Secondly, it also opened up a new financial route, which changed the situation of the Cui family's outflow and outflow, which was of great benefit to stabilizing the position of the head of the family.

Maybe Fei Qian may have other secret recipes, but for the current Cui family, consolidating what is in hand and grasping what exists is the most important and correct thing, so after the master at home tried it, it was confirmed that Fei Qian's glass secret recipe had a miraculous effect on improving the color and brightness of the glass, Cui Yi made the decision to befriend Fei Qian.

This is also in line with the family's consistent rule - family first.

If it weren't for the fact that Fei Qian was just a side branch of the Fei family, he would even ask Cui Yi to come forward in person to thank him. Cui Hou explained to Fei Qian this time the reasons for the Cui family, and did not ask how Fei Qian obtained this party or asked what other ways there were, so in addition to expressing gratitude, there are two meanings: one is to show that the Cui family will no longer defend Fei Qian from now on and treat each other with sincerity; The second is that the source of Fiji's secret recipe will no longer be greedy to peep in, and will keep it secret.

As for what Fei Qian needs the Cui family to do in the future, the Cui family will naturally roughly measure it according to the value of this secret recipe and give equal or more returns.

Of course, these so-called measures will depend on the status of Fei Qian and the status of the Cui family in the future. For example, for a poor man who is dying of hunger and a rich man who is full of food and drink every day, the same meal will of course have different meanings for two people.

At this time, the maid outside the door brought freshly brewed tea and some pastries, and asked if it was almost time for the rooster to crow, and she wanted to prepare some washing.

Fei Qian and Cui Hou knew that this long night had passed quietly, and a new day was coming. Fei Qian raised the tea bowl and saluted Cui Houyi, "Brother Yongyuan, how about taking this tea to say goodbye to the old days and celebrate the new beginning?" ”

Cui Hou reacted immediately, and also raised the tea bowl: "Brother Xian is really wonderful!" Say goodbye to the old days and celebrate the new beginning! ”
