The sound of silk and bamboo is like gurgling water, flowing between the buildings, which is pleasant for the body and mind.

Halfway through the unitary hour, Zeng Yu led Zhu Wen to the Xin Ya Pavilion where Yuan Shao set up a banquet. Compared with the last time he went to Baihualou with Zeng Yu for a banquet, Zhu Wen is now much calmer.

After the two entered, they saw that the women in the past were dignified and generous, warm and gentle, polite but did not lose the distance, even the middle-aged woman who came to the face was still charming, and there was a noble and graceful air on her body, and no matter the style or layout of the whole Xin Ya Pavilion around, it gave people an intuitive feeling that a noble air came to the face.

"What is the matter with this son?" The oncoming middle-aged woman glanced at the two of them, and said directly to Zeng Yu, who was carefully looking at the surrounding furnishings.

Xin Ya Pavilion is not open to the public, itself is the private property of the Yuan family, most of the people who come here are some Luoyang scholars who are related to the Yuan family, if they are ordinary wealthy businessmen or poor children, no one recommends, even if they find this place, they will be turned away, dealing with Luoyang celebrities all day long, but also honing the eyesight of the sisters-in-law here, although the two are side by side, but just one glance, you can see who is dominant.

"Sister, the two of us came to the banquet at the invitation of Yuan Gongzi?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"My lord, it must be Anping Ling, Zeng Zirui, Zeng, the son has already ordered, please come with me." When the middle-aged woman heard this, she immediately guessed Zeng Yu's identity. In addition to inviting Zeng Yu this time, Yuan Shao also invited some other Luoyang scholars, but she knew all those people. Yuan Shao had already instructed her that if Zeng Yu arrived, he would welcome him to the Accord.

"There is labor." Zeng Yu agreed, then nodded to the woman, and took Zhu Wen straight to the backyard with the woman.

The front yard is mainly a place for ordinary scholars to spend their time, while the back yard is only accessible to the children of scholars with a deep family background. Walking through the long corridor, the sound of silk and bamboo is heard in the ears from time to time, and there are constantly maids or servants coming and going in various private rooms along the way, and they will salute the group when passing by.

had already arrived at the door, Zeng Yu straightened his shirt and said to Zhu Wen: "I'll go in first, and you wait outside." ”

"No." Zhu Wen nodded.

On this kind of occasion, the general guards will not go in, but Zhu Wen will not be unentertained, and each private room is attached to another cubicle, which just places the guards of the scholars in the private room. After Zeng Yu entered, the middle-aged woman led Zhu Wen to this small cubicle, and there were already some people inside, thinking that they were all guards who came here with their son-in-law.

"Zi Rui is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect Zi Rui to create such a big name, I really envy others!" In the private room, Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Zeng Yu who came in and got up to greet him.

"Yuan Gongzi has won the award, and the credit is not enough to worry about, which is better than everyone sitting in the center. As the saying goes, good fighters have no merit to drink, if there is no advice to Your Majesty, where would I have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to this small county order. Zeng Yu saluted Yuan Shao, and then saluted everyone present: "After the end of the school, I entered Zeng Yu and saw all the sages." ”

"Haha, it's time to call the son, Shao's eldest son Rui is a few years old, and he is commensurate with his brother, come and sit." Yuan Shao sat back on the main seat, pointed to a seat next to him, and said to Zeng Yu.

"So, thank you Brother Benchu." Zeng Yu did not shirk, nodded and knelt in the seat.

"Come, brother Xian, let me introduce you to you, this is Taiyuan Wang Jing, and the state of the celebrity, this is the scholar Sun Rui, Fufeng celebrity, this is Deng Yun, although not as good as the crown, but his grandfather is now the official worship of the Taiwei, is the third duke." Yuan Shao introduced the other three people present one by one, and Chen Mo got up and saluted one by one.

People's first impression is very important, although Zeng Yu is young, but the figure is tall, the eyebrows are full of heroism, up and down, but he is polite and polite, his eyes are upright, there is no sadness when ordinary scholars see them, nor pretend to be high, it is difficult for people to have disgust.

Among the three people, Wang Jing and Shi Sun Rui are celebrities, but they have no official positions, and Deng Yun's grandfather is the current Taiwei Deng Sheng, but Deng Yun is not the eldest son. So the status of the three is not much different, they were invited by Yuan Shao, and they came here to befriend Zeng Yu, hoping to win over a foreign aid for themselves and their families.

Zeng Yu and Deng Yun greeted each other, and most of the celebrities in Luoyang Zeng Yu had asked Xie Jing to send someone to investigate before. Although he didn't have the opportunity to meet people, he remembered about their famous deeds, so when he greeted them this time, he said what the three of them were most proud of, which would also make people feel valued. Mo said that Yuan Shao was more optimistic about Zeng Yu, that is, Deng Yun and the three of them now have a good impression of Zeng Yu.

Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said: "This time, Zi Ruiping Yellow Turban has made a great contribution, so that the Yellow Turban Thief can see the true majesty of my Han, let's give Zi Rui a cup first." ”

When Deng Yun and the three of them heard this, of course they would not refuse, and they all raised the wine glasses on the desk to salute Zeng Yu, and Zeng Yu also drank it all after returning the salute.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the next few people recounted some of their own experiences to each other, and the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious.

At this time, Yuan Shao said in a timely manner: "Zi Rui will definitely receive His Majesty's commendation when he enters Beijing this time, but His Majesty is bewitched by the villain, what does Zi Rui need my help with?" ”

Zeng Yu knew that the real meat drama was coming, but he himself did not resist maintaining a good relationship with the Shi clan on the surface, he paused for a moment and said: "Thank you for the kindness of Brother Benchu, speaking of which, I do have a dilemma now, but the other party's power is too great, so forget it." ”

"Zirui is out of sight, you and I are naturally brothers, and your difficulties are my difficulties."

"I'm ashamed to say it, I learned this Anping Order from Hongdumen, and I just thought that I would have the opportunity to use what I had learned. However, after getting this peace order, I offended the Qinghe Cui clan, and I had to rely on the power in the palace, but the other party had to pay tribute every quarter. Zeng Yu said with a painful expression, it is a fact that the tribute is paid every quarter, so even if Yuan Shao sends someone to investigate, he will find out that what Zeng Yu said is true. It's just that only Zeng Yu and Zhang Yu know the actual situation, but Zhang will not have any dealings with Yuan Shao, so Zeng Yu is not worried about being exposed.

When Wang Jing and Shi Sun Rui heard Hongdu Menxue, their eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Zeng Yu, but because they already had some appreciation for Zeng Yu just now, they didn't show it too obviously. When Yuan Shao heard this, he said angrily: "It's these eunuchs again, if it weren't for them to bewitch Your Majesty, how could there be this Yellow Turban Rebellion." Don't worry, if you want to learn with your talents, if it weren't for these eunuch influences, you would definitely be able to get a recommendation. The Qinghe Cui clan also has a friendship with my Yuan family, and I will help you resolve the conflict between you and them. ”

"Thank you, Brother Ben, but in this way, I'm worried that the eunuch will get in the way. This time I entered Beijing, I planned to return to Shangdang as soon as possible after handing over the prisoners. Because of the ravages of the Yellow Turbans, all counties of the Shangdang have been affected, and the people under their rule still need to be appeased, especially the northern counties, which are still under the control of the Yellow Turbans, and I really can't bear to see this. Zeng Yu and Yuan Shao helped him mediate the relationship with the Qinghe Cui family, and he was also happy in his heart. At the same time, he had planned to obtain the post of county guard of Shangdang County, and since Yuan Shao had wooed him, he also hinted that he wanted to govern Shangdang County.

Yuan Shao also heard the meaning of Zeng Yu's words, Zeng Yu, as an Anping order, did not only care about the places under his rule, but also mentioned several other counties, thinking that this was Zeng Yu's true thoughts. At this time, the scholar talked about this hidden style, and after he knew Zeng Yu's request, he thought for a while and said: "I heard that the Shangdang County Guard was killed by the Yellow Turban Thief, I see that Zi Rui has both civil and military skills, although his qualifications are still shallow, but there is Gan Luo in ancient times who worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve, and Zi Rui has great merit, I think this Shangdang County Guard Zi Rui is completely competent." ”

"Yes, now there are yellow turban rebellions everywhere, if they were all talents like Ru Zirui sitting on one side, I think this Yellow Turban Rebellion would have been pacified a long time ago." Deng Yun also opened his mouth and said that the Deng family was originally a military general, so they attached more importance to military merits, so Deng Yun did not look down on Zeng Yu because he was born as an official.

"Thank you for your love, I dare not be ashamed. However, the rewards are all from His Majesty, not to mention the position of this county guard, as the saying goes, I believe in it, and I lose my life. Zeng Yu broke his hands and said.

"Haha, Zi Rui rest assured, I will help you operate this matter, I only hope that Zi Rui will stick to his heart in the future and not be threatened by traitors." Yuan Shao said confidently, and at the same time hinted that Zeng Yu had severed his relationship with the eunuch.

"If you really have the opportunity to govern a county of Shangdang, Yu will definitely be duty-bound. It is our duty to support justice, and now that we have emasculated the country, we should fight it to the end, and we will go to the king. Zeng Yu said solemnly.

"Okay, everyone, please fill this cup." Yuan Shao proposed.

After everyone toasted and saluted each other, they drank it all, and after the matter was negotiated, Yuan Shao invited the dancing girl again to dance for everyone. In order to express his happiness, Yuan Shao also arranged for a woman to accompany them to drink, and Zeng Yu did not deliberately restrain him, and drank and feasted with several people.

When the drink reached the beginning, everyone was a little profligate, and suddenly Zeng Yu sang loudly: "The Han family is full of Yin Mountain, and Hu Er will not be sent back." I am willing to serve the country with this length, why should I be born in Yanmen Pass. ”

"Good poetry, good poetry! Unexpectedly, the virtuous brother is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also a leader in the world, so I salute you for my brother. Yuan Shao also heard the verses sung by Zeng Yu, and at this time, he only felt that the pride in the poem went straight into his heart, so that he couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but raise his wine glass and shouted.

"!" Zeng Yu did not shirk it, and replied.

This poem is one of his favorite poems before, but the original Yumen Pass was changed to Yanmen Pass, which also means that he only runs the party so that one day he can lead troops to expel Hu Lu. If Cao Cao is here, he will definitely appreciate it even more, after all, the current Cao Cao, his goal is to become the general of the Han Dynasty, and he also wants to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty.
