Chapter 213: Liu Bei's Ambition
Hearing Sima Hui's words, Liu Bei was suddenly shocked.
Because he thinks differently than everyone else, or in other words, he really wants to find such a person at the moment. Change where you are now and go further.
However, Liu Bei was also a little helpless, because he knew his strengths and weaknesses very well. Now that his power is too weak, I'm afraid that many people can't look down on him, and the only thing he can use is a statement.
Liu Bei is not stupid, he knows what he is doing.
In fact, for so many years, Liu Bei chose to be a gentleman as always, because he knew that he had no other advantages. Then you can only change from yourself and form characteristics.
Otherwise, compared with Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao and others are not as status as Yuan Shao and others, but compared to Liu Bei, they do belong to another level and cannot be equalized.
At this moment, Liu Bei seemed very sincere, he was not joking, but really wanted to find someone.
As for the price or something, then you can only give it all.
After all, after many failures, Liu Bei also knows his own shortcomings. If we continue like this, I'm afraid it won't get better, so I can only change my mind as much as possible.
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Sima Hui nodded slightly.
Obviously, he did know about Liu Bei, otherwise he would not have directly called Liu Yuzhou the title.
Not bad.
In fact, from the moment Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, Sima Hui began to pay attention to Liu Bei. Although he is now in temporary seclusion, it does not mean that he has no contact with the outside world, which is simply impossible.
Sima Hui is only in this state of seclusion, and he still understands the outside world, after all, he still has some things to do.
For Sima Hui, it is naturally impossible for him to become an official at his current age. In fact, with Sima Hui's fame, Liu Biao also sent someone to find him before, wanting to let Sima Hui out of the mountain.
But Sima Hui refused.
He really didn't have this idea, but that didn't mean Sima Hui didn't have something to do. After all, he is not alone, although he can't go out, but he still has acquaintances and apprentices.
At such a time, it is still necessary to operate a wave.
In today's era, if you want to find a master, you not only need talent, but also fame.
Only by being famous enough can you attract the attention of others. If it's just a woodcutter who looks ordinary, even if he has real talent and learning, I'm afraid it's not easy to be accepted.
All in all, it's really easy to miss.
And after Sima Hui's investigation, Liu Bei is actually a good choice. Don't look at Liu Bei's power now that he is too weak, but in fact, he has strong potential and can rise.
If it was a person like Yuan Shu, in fact, Sima Hui didn't look at it. Even if they are indeed brilliant, their flaws are too obvious, and they are different from Liu Bei at this moment.
In Sima Hui's view, Liu Bei is a special existence.
Because Liu Bei is not only too weak now, but also his character and fame, or personality, are the best choices.
As for Liu Bei's hypocritical words, Sima Hui didn't care at all, and everyone else was the same, so what did it mean?
If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't say a lot of things.
Moreover, only a small number of people slandered Liu Bei, and even the reputation of these people was not good. Just like people like Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, they and Liu Bei are enemies.
……
Picking up the wine in the cup, Cheng bit the gold to the end, with a light in his eyes:
"This wine is so strong, the eldest husband should drink such wine, it is soft and tasteless, isn't it like a girl."
After speaking, he wanted to grab the wine jug, who thought that Li Shimin had expected it, and directly protected it on his chest.
"Cheng Zhijie, I allow you to drink a cup is a cup, do you want to get an inch!"
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he touched his head in embarrassment and said:
"This wine is only one drink, and it hasn't tasted yet, why don't you take two more sips, Your Majesty?"
Li Shimin replied:
", I didn't get this wine easily, it's just this pot in total, all for you to drink, what do I drink?"
Seeing that Li Shimin's performance did not seem to be a fraud, Cheng gritted his teeth and said:
"Which one has been stabbed with a thousand knives, and he is so stingy with His Majesty, do you want Weichen to come forward and beat him?"
However, Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said:
"You Cheng Heizi, I'm afraid you're not addicted to alcohol, so you want to come to the door to beg for a drink."
Cheng bit Jin Han laughed twice and explained:
"Wechen has never seen this wine on the market, and I want to know whose private brew it is, and it is rare to treasure.
I, Lao Cheng, don't want to make trouble, just go and ask for two glasses of wine to drink, Your Majesty, you can make it convenient. ”
Looking at the burly Cheng Biting Jin, Li Shimin thought secretly:
"Although this Cheng Heizi is not cheeky, he is also a thick and fine character, why don't you let him go over and take a look?"
As soon as I thought about it, I had already made a decision.
Li Shimin said:
"Since you are such a good wine, I will reveal it to you, if you dare to pass it on to others...... Hey. ”
Looking at the 'click' gesture, Cheng Biting Jinton's neck was cold, and he hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, you know this matter...... and Lao Du, who will never reveal others again. ”
Seeing Cheng biting the gold set, Li Shimin continued:
"The source of this wine is in Chenjia Village, in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, if you make a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"...... Chenjia Village in the Eastern Suburbs"
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly wrote it down, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty can rest assured, and the minister will retire."
When Cheng bit the gold and left, Du Ruhui thought thoughtfully:
"Your Majesty shouldn't have something to do, and you want to let this Cheng Heizi go over to test it, right?"
Li Shimin caught a glimpse of Du Ruhui's expression and said with emotion:
"This wine is indeed produced in Chenjia Village, but at this moment, the Emperor Taishang must be among them."
Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"I see, let's see how Cheng Kuroko reacts."
……
Cheng Yanjin is not an idle master.
Since Li Shimin learned the source of the wine, he hurriedly rode his horse to Chenjia Village, which was called an eagerness.
After probing, he quickly locked on to his target.
Standing in front of the Chen Mansion, Cheng Yanjin muttered to himself:
"There is no tradition of wine-making in this Chenjia village, and according to those villagers, there is often a strange smell here recently.
But it doesn't look unusual, why does Your Majesty look helpless, is there another mystery in it? ”
For the sake of secrecy, Cheng Yanjin did not have an entourage on this trip.
After a brief thought, he tapped the knocker directly:
"Anyone, we're here to ask for wine."
At this moment, the door slowly opened, and two people walked out of it, it was Chen Jue and Li Yuan.
After eating and drinking here and being happy, Chen Jue personally sent Li Yuan out of the house.
It was not at this time that I met Cheng Biting Jin, who was coming.
Chen Jue didn't know Li Yuan's true identity, how could Cheng Yanjin not know, and his eyes widened.
"Too ......"
That Li Yuan was also a little surprised, but he reacted quite quickly and raised his hand:
"What's polite, just call me Lao Li."
Cheng Yanjin reluctantly held back his words, glanced at the two, and suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile:
"It's so fateful, I didn't expect Lao Li that you were here."
Li Yuan's mind turned, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight sneer:
How could Cheng Yanjin find this and shout for wine?
I'm afraid that someone didn't take advantage of him to go out and secretly drink his good wine, which is really excessive.
But now he was not ready to be exposed, so he replied:
"It's really fate, I'm going to have a good chat when I go back."
Chen Jue next to him was a little surprised and asked:
"What, Lao Li, are you very familiar with this guy?"
Li Yuan nodded lightly and said:
"Of course I know you very well, this surname is Cheng, and his family is also in business, and he has a close relationship with my family."
Cheng bit the tip of his eyes, his mind was fluttering, and he soon had an idea:
"This little brother, just call me Brother Cheng, my family's small business is not worth mentioning compared to Lao Li's family."
Chen Jue is not stupid, he can naturally see the strangeness, and said:
"Small business, looking at Brother Cheng's momentum, I'm afraid there are a lot of shops in Chang'an City, right?"
This time it was Cheng Jin's turn to be surprised:
"Little brother, how do you know, my Lao Cheng does have a few shops in Chang'an, but this is nothing."
Chang'an City is worth every inch of land, and a few shops are also worth a lot.
But Chen Jue didn't dwell on this, for him, it didn't matter whether Cheng Biting Jin was rich or poor.
Anyway, I live a life of paddling and fishing, just make sure that I am happy and happy.
But he still noted:
"Is Brother Cheng talking about asking for wine? Since you are Lao Li's friend, I'll give you a jar.
However, it is not easy for me to make this wine, I don't have to buy it in the market, so I have to make it myself. ”
"This is going to give us an altar?"
Cheng Yanjin was a little confused.
Today, Li Shimin was worried about a pot of wine, and he casually got a jar......
The contrast is too great.
However, Li Yuan's face was slightly cold, and he shouted solemnly:
"No way!"
The more you think about it, the more angry you get, and the more you take a step back, the more you lose.
Li Yuan looked at Cheng Biting Jin, and his heart was angry.
The wine he treasured was secretly drunk, and now he wants to get a jar of wine for nothing, which is a fool's dream.
It was he who interrupted directly:
"No, rare is expensive, this wine is not easy to brew, how can you give it away casually?"
Chen Jue was stunned, he actually wanted to say:
There are not many of them, not because they are difficult to brew, but because he is too lazy to do it.
Cheng was in a hurry when he bit Jindeng, and the wine was about to arrive, but he was stabbed horizontally by Li Yuan, which was really itchy.
But Li Yuan's identity is special, and he doesn't dare to attack:
"Lao Li, you can't be a bad person, if you can't drink this jar of wine, I'm afraid Lao Cheng won't be able to sleep."
However, Li Yuan smiled coldly and said:
"The old man just said that he couldn't give it away for free, and he didn't say that he couldn't sell this wine to you, yes or no?"
These Cheng Biting Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said:
"I see, I'm too anxious, little brother, you say a price, we will never bargain."
I saw Chen Jue shaking his head in confusion and replied:
"It's just a jar of wine, how expensive it can be.
Besides, I don't lack money in this house, so there's no need to spend a lot of time, so polite. ”
Who would have thought that Li Yuan continued:
"That's true, but the courtesy is still exchanged, Xiao Cheng, you received a jar of wine, you have to give something back, right?"
Cheng Yanjin was stunned again.
