Luoyang, Zhuge Mansion

On this day, before the sky dawned, there was a young Confucian student with a young man standing in front of the door of the mansion, the people who came were Sima Yi and Yuan Yao, Sima Yi was wearing a Confucian robe, looking still thin, pale, seriously ill, even if he returned to Luoyang, there was still no change, however, there was no worry on his face, he calmly waited for the slave of Zhuge Mansion to open the door, and did not worry about the next thing.

Yuan Yao frowned, with a sad face, standing beside Sima Yi, his heart was full of anxiety, he didn't know much about this Zhuge Kongming, and he didn't know what his temperament was, Sima Yi insisted on sending him here to study, he was very uneasy, not that he was afraid that the other party would refuse, but he was worried that he would live up to his mother's expectations, and he didn't know if he could learn something from Zhuge Liang.

Sima Yi glanced down at Yuan Yao, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, in terms of talent and learning, there are few people in the world who can compare with him, and in terms of origin, your father has also taught him for a while, and he will not refuse your study, but he owes a favor, you show your original confidence, just follow him to study, don't think about the rest..."

As he was talking, the door of the mansion was slowly opened, Sima Yi did not knock on the door, but waited for the slave to open the door to clean, such a large family, every morning, the slave would clean the street outside the door, therefore, the place where the big families gathered, was always so clean and tidy, and the place where the poor people stayed, in the winter, they did not dare to let people approach, the ice and snow piled up, it was very dirty.

The servant opened the door and saw a big and a young man standing outside the door, this person was startled, the ground was slippery, if it wasn't for Sima Yi dragging him, he was afraid that he would fall immediately, he stood firmly, looked at the young man in front of him, but he didn't dare to get angry, the person who dared to come here to visit the head of the house, of course he couldn't offend, he leaned down, saluted respectfully, and asked, "I don't know what your Excellency commanded?" ”

Sima Yi smiled and said, "I'm here to find Kong Ming, is he in the mansion?" ”

The slave nodded, said a word to let me say goodbye, and immediately went back to the house, not long after, Zhuge Liang led the two slaves out, smiled and greeted Sima Yi, and looked at Yuan Yao's kid, Zhuge Liang probably understood Sima Yi's origin in his heart, so he led the two into the mansion, and ordered the servants to prepare to entertain the guests.

Seeing Yuan Yao coming, Zhuge Zhan, who was eating, widened his eyes and quickly got up, but there was no word, Zhuge Liang cleared his throat and said unhappily: "Why don't you meet your uncle soon?!" ”

Only then did Zhuge Zhan salute Sima Yi and bowed, "Meet my uncle!" ”

Sima Yi smiled and nodded, Zhuge Liang said: "Hurry up and eat, after eating, you will go to the official school for me...", he said, his eyes skimmed towards the back room, Zhuge Zhan understood what he meant, hurry up and eat, don't provoke your aunt again, Zhuge Zhan quickly began to eat, Zhuge Liang led Sima Yi to the study, and it didn't take long for the servants to bring in the prepared fruit and tea.

"You've never been to my mansion... Why, it's not as good as your mansion, but it's still a good place, right? Zhuge Liang said, Sima Yi looked behind him, there were countless books on the bookshelf behind him, Sima Yi was not surprised in his eyes, his study was also like this, looking at Sima Yi's appearance, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It seems that Zhongda's collection of books is also a lot..."

"I have come here to ask you something."

"Hmm... Why don't you let him follow you? I'm not refusing, I'm just curious, why did you let him follow me instead of taking it with you? ”

Sima Yi didn't explain his intentions, but Zhuge Liang already understood, Yuan Yao was a little surprised, this person was really smart, and Sima Yi was still as calm as ever, "Of course I will take him with me, but it's not time yet, Sikong's side, to let a few of us serve as state pastors in various places, I think you also know, in less than half a year, we should be going to various places, so, this time, I will ask him to you..."

"When I officially take office, I'll pick him up again."

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized, looked at Yuan Yao, and said seriously: "It seems that Zhongda really loves you, you will follow me for a long time in the future, I do have a long period of vacation because of the busyness of Jingzhou, you follow me, I will personally come to teach you, Yuan Zi has also been kind to me, you are here, you don't have to worry, you don't have to be restrained, just treat me as a family member." ”

Yuan Yao nodded, Sima Yi pushed violently, and he woke up, got up in a hurry, and bowed to Zhuge Liang, calling him Shijun.

Zhuge Liang smiled, listening to this sound of Shijun, he suddenly had a different feeling in his heart, unconsciously, it turned out that he had also reached the point of being a teacher, but... A trace of sadness quickly flashed in his eyes, but he hid it, looked at Sima Yi, and said, "With me, you can rest assured, I will cultivate him well... He has a sense of Yuan Zi's arrogance and the same self-confidence, such a person will definitely not be buried. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Sima Yi got up and left, leaving Yuan Yao behind, without even admonishing him, it can be seen that he still trusts Yuan Yao.

When Sima Yi walked out of the mansion, Zhuge Liang lowered his head, looked at Yuan Yao in front of him, and looked at him seriously, Yuan Yao's face was solemn, although he was panicked, he still forced himself to calm down, and suddenly, Zhuge Liang asked:

"Do you know the fish of Toga? The kind with dragon whiskers? ”

"Huh? What kind of dragon whiskers? How long is it? I've never seen it. ”

"Hahahaha!"

..............

Sima Yi walked out of Zhuge Mansion, still looking sick, speaking of which, in fact, his body had already recovered, but he still felt that it was good to be cured for a long time, and many times, it could become his own shield... Sima Yi walked towards his mansion in small steps, even if no one here knew him, he still did not change back to his original appearance, and walked through many streets along the way, suddenly, Sima Yi stopped.

This... The little old man who was eating meat porridge in the distance, why did he look so much like Situ of the dynasty???

No, no, I read it wrong, how could Cao Situ drink porridge in such a small place??

Sima Yi shook his head and was about to walk over, but the little old man saw him, smiled and stretched out his hand, waved his hand, and shouted, "Zhongda! Come! Come here! Cao Situ opened his mouth, Sima Yi stopped helplessly, slowly walked to the little old man's side, and was about to salute, but the little old man spoke first, and said to the old man who was making porridge next to him: "Old man Wang, look, this is my nephew, a talent!" ”

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "Meet Cao... Uncle! ”

Cao Cao nodded, Sima Yi saluted the old man again, Wang Lao Shu was taken aback, he didn't dare to take it, and said with a smile: "You are a Confucian student, I am not your elder, I dare not accept this gift...", Sima Yi did not reply, the old man looked at Cao Cao, and said: "Don't say it, Old Man Cao, this life is really a talent, so handsome, hahaha, not bad." ”

"That is, my nephew, he is an extraordinary learner, but he didn't even participate in the assessment back then, so he was directly recommended to be an official... It's not bad..."

"Oh? Where is he an official? ”

"Place, over there in Xuzhou..."

The two chatted and put Sima Yi aside.

"By the way, old man Wang, let's have another bowl of meat porridge, and give my nephew a taste, by the way, he is weak, you can get more meat!"

"Then you have to add three more dollars!"

"One penny!"

"Two bucks!"

"Just one penny!"

"Hey, you old man!" Uncle Wang complained, but when he served the bowl, the bowl was full of meat, Sima Yi was stunned, and sat next to Cao Cao, and ate it, the hot meat porridge was indeed very fragrant, Sima Yi ate a few bites, and his appetite was greatly enhanced, and then he devoured it, and he was very happy, Cao Cao looked at him with a smile and yawned.

Until Sima Yi finished eating, Cao Cao looked at his unfinished appearance, and called him another bowl, Cao Cao ate unhurriedly, and asked, "How is it, has your second uncle set a time for you to set off?" ”

"No, the day before yesterday, he sent someone to come, but he didn't mention it, just asked me about my condition, and asked me if I needed to recuperate for a while..."

"Oh, that's not far from departure... I don't care much about these things these days... I heard that your second uncle quarreled with your third uncle? It seems that there was a fight? ”

"I haven't heard of the fight, but it's really a quarrel, mainly because of those things in the west, but the second uncle seems to have gone to see the head of the family yesterday, leaving the north one, and the south one is coming back to rest... Originally, I wanted the north to come back, but the south didn't come back for too long, so I changed my mind... The third uncle didn't object, they should be on the way..."

Listening to the words of the two of them, Uncle Wang was confused, and slowly said: "Your two younger brothers quarreled, you don't care at all, this is not good, the family, if it is not harmonious, then how can it be done?" As an elder brother, shouldn't you be so indifferent? ”

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully and said: "I want to take care of it, but it's a pity, my two younger brothers have different ideas, they always quarrel, before, I also quarreled, but now I see it, they are still obsessed, and I don't know what to do..."

"The affairs of this family are indeed difficult to do, difficult to do!"

Uncle Wang shook his head and said: "I also have three children in my family, Da Lang and Erlang always bully San Lang together, San Lang is the most filial and the most promising, I have said countless times, and they don't listen..."

Cao Cao slowly stood up, "There are still some things in my house, I'll go back first!" ”

"Zhongda!"

"Huh?"

"You also gave me the money for my meal!"

"Uh-huh???"

Looking at Cao Cao, who was leaving in a dashing manner, Sima Yi rummaged through every pocket on his body and looked at Uncle Wang blankly.

"Uncle... Here you are... Can I take credit? ”
