Chapter 5: Prosperity (II)
Seeing that Gongsun Xun and Cao Cao were both shouting dance music, everyone also cheered up and prepared to let go of this embarrassing matter.
However, after the old man surnamed Bian retreated to the threshold in front of the hall, he did not directly call his daughter out, but started with him, and several people took the lead in playing a piece of music. Although the music was played by several people, the rhythm was slow, and there was no sense of noise, but it seemed ethereal and gentle......
However, after a short period of effort, no one came.
Gongsun Xun and Cao Cao are okay, after all, they are well-informed, so they can still calm down, but Xiahou Yuan and Han Dang are both first-class honest people, and they are a little confused for a while.
"Yigong doesn't know," At this moment, Na Lou Gui couldn't help but say when he saw this. "This is a common method of dance music, deliberately grinding down to delay time, until you are impetuous, and the dancer will come out...... At that time, if you are anxious, you can also be an eight-point character even if you are only a five-point person! β
Han Dang and Xiahou Yuan beside him suddenly realized, but the musician who played the flute below was not determined enough, and was directly choked when he heard the words, and then simply took the tone, and then immediately attracted the angry eyes of the two guests of honor...... Of course, Gongsun Xun and Cao Cao's angry eyes were not at the musician, but at Lou Gui.
"Lou Zibo, will you die if you don't show off?" Gongsun Xun was speechless.
"Uncle Zi, you have never grown up even if you have done so many things with Wenqi." Cao Cao was also speechless.
Lou Gui was bored, so he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be dead. However, thanks to his spoilers, the old man couldn't hold on any longer, so with a steeply raised note, the main character finally appeared...... Pacing in from outside the hall was a plain woman.
Gongsun Xun looked at it fixedly, but couldn't help but be a little disappointed...... It's not that the woman's appearance is not good, the other party lowers his head, and he can't see his face clearly for a while, but that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and a woman who is a folk wanderer has nothing to do after all. This plain clothes, not to mention compared with the court musicians that Gongsun Xun saw in Luozhong, even the ordinary county government, the county country during the military camp banquet, and the music household in the military camp can't be compared.
Of course, when you walk to the bright hall and step on the tiger skin, you can still see that this woman is distinctive, at least her figure is not bad, especially in the summer heat, but the other party can only wait for a long time by the door outside the hall, and the sweat has already soaked through the clothes, at this time it looks particularly exquisite.
However, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, he may have such thoughts because of his age...... You must know that his wife Zhao Yun is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, even if she looks good, her figure is naturally insufficient...... What do you want?
And while she was thinking about it, the woman had already raised her head, and everyone around her couldn't help but be stunned.
Without him, this woman has about a double ten, but she really has seven or eight colors! And if you add the previous disappointing plain makeup, it shows the feeling of eight or nine points of color.
"Cheap maid Bian Yu, I've seen two young gentlemen." Before the music started, the woman hadn't danced yet, but just bowed slightly.
"Good!" The evil ghost Cao Mengde was the first to slap his palm.
Gongsun Xun's heart moved, but he also smiled and raised his hand.
In other words, Lehu is a rare lowly status beyond the scope of private slaves and maids today, when the whole society has almost completely entered the feudal era, Lehu is still in a social class close to slaves...... This is true from the musicians in the court to the wandering musicians. These people have been abandoned by the whole society, have no autonomy in marriage, no autonomy in choosing a career, and cannot turn over from generation to generation, and are simply the remnants of slave society.
And the only two times in the history of the Han Dynasty that Lehu turned over were basically by virtue of women's appearance...... One was Mrs. Li when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the Emperor, and the other was Zhao Feiyan when the Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, both of them became the playthings of the Son of Heaven to leave their names in the history books.
So it is conceivable that this homeless folk musician probably regards this girl of his own as a reliance to get rid of fate, otherwise he would not be almost twenty years old and still dressed as a girl...... As for why it appeared here today, isn't it because most of the people in the hall are young noble men?
However, although Gongsun Xun thought of this, he not only lamented the fate of Yu Lehu, nor did he think of anything like class hatred greater than heaven...... All he cares about is the other person's last name!
A woman surnamed Bian, born in Lehu, came to the mansion of Cao Mengde, a hungry ghost in Sezhong, and was favored by this guy at a glance, so who else?
It seems that it can only be Mrs. Bian who surpasses Zhao Feiyan and Mrs. Li! This is from the queen to the queen mother, and the mother has been in the world for decades.
Aren't you witnessing history? Or think about it from another angle, the future King of Wei will dance to cheer himself up later?
For a while, as the woman danced on the broken tiger skin, although everyone in the hall was all focused on this person, they all had their own thoughts.
The singing and dancing were dispersed, and everyone was drunk and hazy, Cao Cao shouted to let this team stay for a few more days, and Mrs. Ding, who came out to clean up the situation, ordered to help them into the backyard, and Gongsun Xun and others naturally went to bathe and rest again.
When they returned to the guest room, although the Cao family sent a beautiful maid to serve, they were kicked out by Gongsun Xun, who was too hot in summer...... It was silent all night.
Early in the morning of the second day, Gongsun Xun had breakfast at Cao's house, so he took Lou Gui, Han Dang, Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan, and the brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun, who came over to join in the fun, and went straight to the vortex according to the agreement last night. The group went around and around, and when the sun was three poles, they had already come to the pheasant township where the trip was at the destination, and then everyone didn't have time to do the right thing, so Cao Ren and Cao Chun shouted to see the ancient well of Huanglong...... The bear child is the most annoying everywhere, and a few people are really curious, so they simply called the local governor and asked him to lead the way to watch one or two.
"Cao Shaojun, and this Gongsun Langzhong," when he arrived at the place, the lieutenant chief stood aside respectfully, and then pointed to a broken well with a monument in front of him. "This is the well of the Yellow Dragon...... After the Yellow Dragon flew into the sky that day, the county monarch asked people to erect a monument here to make a record. β
Cao Ren and Cao Chun jumped out of the car quickly, and then went straight to the well, but they cowered and didn't dare to look until the other adults stepped forward together, and then they were careful to probe.
"Nothing!" Cao Ren was disappointed. "And this well is too broken and too small!"
Cao Chun also nodded again and again.
Gongsun Xun watched carefully, and his brows were also furrowed...... You know, although my wife said something about lightning, but she didn't have a deep understanding of the word dragon, plus this is Cao Cao's hometown after all, and this dragon also hints, so he has always been suspicious of this matter!
But when I returned to the front and looked at the ancient well in front of me, just based on common sense, although this well was quiet, it was really dilapidated, and the wellhead was narrow, so it didn't look like a place where a real dragon could come out, right?
"I'm afraid that my guess is right, it's purely a rumor, it's called Huanglong, but it's a rumor." Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head after looking at it. "This kind of broken well, where did the real dragon come out? What Miaocai saw that day was really a yellow croaker or a water snake! β
"It's hard to say," Lou Zibo, who had his own bar-lifting attribute, replied with a short beard. "As the saying goes, dragons can be big and small, and they can rise and hide, maybe there was indeed a dragon here that turned into a yellow snake and lived here for a long time......"
"Uncle Zi, shut up." Cao Cao suddenly undressed and said. "I have a way to prove the truth or falsehood!"
said that it was too late and that was fast, and before everyone could react, a yellow line of water suddenly fell from the sky above the well water, which was originally calm, but it shattered this quiet atmosphere...... also smashed the superstition of destiny that Gongsun Xun had been entangled in his heart since he met Dian Wei.
Over there, Cao Cao had already begun to carry his pants, but most of the people were pale and looked sluggish, as if they were afraid that the next moment the wind and clouds would suddenly come to a thunderbolt and split everyone alive.
However, with the summer heat and clear skies, what has changed?
"How?" Cao Cao asked proudly. "Do you still think there's a real dragon here?"
Gongsun Xun laughed loudly, and was the first to react, and then he actually undressed and poured out the soup that had been accumulated since the morning...... Cao Ren and Cao Chun, the two bear children, also did the same, and in an instant, the ancient well became unbearable.
Pity the chief here, he wanted to stop but didn't dare to step forward, so he could only watch the place that was considered an auspicious treasure in the township be destroyed by this group of nobles...... In a moment of dizziness, this one almost fainted.
"Let's go!" After turning around, Gongsun Xun was already refreshed and no longer hesitated. "Let's go and hang the whirlpool!"
So, from Cao Mengde downward, everyone shouted, and went straight to the whirlpool with things, and then no one was attached to what Huanglong or what ancient well.
However, it is said that it is to do the right thing and hang the river water, but because of the mother's life, it is actually changed to a sacrificial posture.
The table was put on the table, and the sacrifice was offered, and first everyone stepped forward together to toast the whirlpool itself, as well as the two people of Lao Zhuang who grew on the side of the whirlpool. Then, Cao Cao and others retreated, and Gongsun Xun presented the jade silk with the etiquette of sacrificing to the ancestors, and saluted seriously again.
It is worth mentioning that it was not only Han Dang, but Lou Gui also stayed behind Gongsun Xun in the name of his retainer and completed this sacrifice...... This made Cao Cao feel a little emotional.
The ritual was complicated and serious, but after a long time, when it came to the last step, Gongsun Xun didn't wait for the chief behind him to beckon the villagers to come forward to help, and suddenly kicked on several cases that served as an altar...... Those cases fell from the riverbank as soon as they landed, and they all fell into the whirlpool with jade silk and sacrifices.
"Go, go! If all things really have spirits, whether it is the sages, the Hebo, or the ancestors on the other side of time and space, they should all be at my will! Under the scorching sun, above the waves, Gongsun Xun, who was covered in sweat, turned around and brushed his sleeves and said.
Xiahou Yuan, Han Dang and other honest people were at a loss again, but Cao Cao laughed more and more when he saw this.
Of course, no matter how crazy Cao Cao and Gongsun Xun are, today's serious things can be regarded as over.
"Wen Qi." After some tossing, just as everyone was about to turn back to the countryside behind them to escape the heat, Cao Cao twisted his soaked clothes as a preface. "It's a hot summer, since you're on the riverside, where can you not take a bath?"
Gongsun Xun also smiled: "That's exactly the reason, this Hebo just took our sacrifice, if he can't take a bath, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?" β
At this point, everyone called the pale-faced chief and asked where it was convenient to bathe.
The chief was frightened, but he still pointed to a place: "Don't hide it from the young monarch of the Cao family and this grandson Langzhong, there are villagers behind the shade of the trees there who have dug a waterhole in the shallows by the river......
"That's fine." Cao Cao didn't pay attention to anything else, so he grabbed Gongsun's hand and went straight over.
Cao Ren and Cao Chun were just about to follow, but they were taken down by Xiahou Yuan one by one.
"That being the case," Lou Gui said with a smirk. "Miaocai and Yigong, how about we go to the countryside to hide from the sun?"
Naturally, everyone was speechless.
Not to mention what happened behind him, on the other side, Gongsun Xun and Cao Cao came to the riverside, so they directly undressed and undressed, and entered the water naked...... According to the Confucian system, bathing by the river is a first-class elegant thing, and even many places have festivals with this theme, so the two of them are so neat.
They didn't follow, "Gongsun Xun is a native of Liaoxi, and the water nature is naturally not good, so he can only lean on the shore and soak. "Brother Meng De has any advice?"
"It's specifically to compensate Wen Qi." Under the shade of the tree, in the waterhole, the two faced each other naked, and Cao Cao, who was leaning on the other side of the waterhole, finally confided the truth. "Your tanuki isn't with me right now......"
Gongsun Xun's face does not change color...... With his wisdom, where could he not have thought of this? If Cao Mengde just doesn't want to pay it back, then he doesn't have to keep the fat cat from showing up, right?
Just how to say it? Since the incident with Dian Wei, Gongsun Xun has pretended to be a mess of things such as the Mandate of Heaven and the region in his heart, and he really has some thoughts that are not very concentrated; In addition, the weather is indeed hot, and he, a person from northern Xinjiang, is really a little wilted.
"Did you run away or die?" Gongsun Xun saw that Cao Cao couldn't continue, so he had to guess without permission. "If that's the case, I really don't blame you......"
"Definitely." Cao Cao, who was immersed in the water, couldn't help but say embarrassedly. "It was taken away."
"Which elder in the family?" Gongsun Xun's face was stunned. "If that's the case, it's okay, it's not your fault after all."
Cao Mengde couldn't help laughing: "It was the eunuch Cao Jie, who was directly reprimanded by Wen Qi in front of Shangshutai, who asked for it to leave!" β
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be stunned, and then dumbfounded.
Cao Cao became more and more embarrassed when he saw this: "On that day, Cao Jie sent someone to come here quickly, and promised my father how to ask for this cat." At that time, although Cao Jie had not recovered, my father, my uncle, and I all felt that Cao Jie would be able to take charge of the situation again...... In addition, although I was open-minded on the surface at that time, I was depressed in my heart, and I also regarded Cao Jie as a life-saving straw, so I was confused for a while. β
Gongsun Xun opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't say a word.
"Wen Qi." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh. "You don't know that after sending the tanuki away, I regretted it that day...... It's not that I pity a cat, but I gradually figured it out, how can my husband be born in the world, how can I not bear it? What Mencius said, you and I can both recite it, but why do we have to seek a way to do it when the time comes? Since I, Cao Mengde, is already in this situation, instead of concentrating on studying and sharpening myself, I rely on giving gifts to speculate on a powerful eunuch, and when the matter spreads, wouldn't I be laughed at by the world? β
Gongsun Xun finally sighed.
"Of course," Cao Cao continued to say in the water. "I didn't expect Wen Qi to be unhappy in my family because of this, and I didn't expect you to help my family and ask He Guiren's brother to bury my relatives...... In such a situation, wouldn't what I do feel more like a villain? At this point, Cao Cao splashed his face with water and wiped his face. Wen Qi, I designed it in every possible way, so that I didn't want to say it bluntly when I made a joke last night, at this time, it's really not that I can't afford to lose a cat, but I'm really ashamed and don't want to mention it! β
Gongsun Xun shook his head slowly: "Meng De is too worried, the scholar has the shame of forbearance, and he must have a plan for things...... My generosity was countered by Cao Jie, forced into a corner, and had to be done; But you can be ashamed and brave, and know how to temper yourself, which makes me envious! β
Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Having said that, sometimes I wake up at night, but I am also in a difficult mood!" β
"Oh?"
"There are only you and me here, I said bluntly, don't look at me as open-minded, but I saw Wenqi white horse and silver saddle, and went to serve as the commander of Qianshi County, and then I thought that you killed Wang Fu and reprimanded Cao Jie, which is valued by the people of the world...... Whether it is an official position or prestige, I am actually a little jealous in my heart. β
"Will Cao Mengde also be jealous of others?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "Aren't you bluffing me?"
"What am I trying to do with you?" Cao Cao immediately pouted. "Do you know that I saw Bian Yu last night, and I wanted to bring it in directly, but it was because Wen Qi was here, and I had something on my mind, so I didn't have the heart...... Tossing and turning last night, I didn't think about Bian Yu, but I was thinking about Wenqi you! β
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh secretly...... Isn't that the case for you? It was also Huang Long who thought about you Cao Mengde all night, so he refused to serve the beautiful maid.
And as soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun smiled slightly: "No matter what, Brother Meng De and I are honest with each other, this cat's matter is over, and I will naturally have a conversation with my wife when I go back...... In addition to that, I have a word for you to say to Brother Mengde. β
"If only you didn't laugh at me." Cao Mengde exhaled a long breath and said. "The rest of the words, let it be!"
"I also feel ridiculous about Huanglong's affairs at this time," Gongsun Xun suddenly said with a straight face. "But there is also truth in the vanity, I heard what your brother-in-law Xiahou Miaocai said last night, and I thought about it......"
"I want to hear about it."
"Dragons can be big and small, and they can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The ascending is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the well basin...... This is what my mother taught me, I don't know, right? β
"If it's a real dragon, it should be like this."
"Among them, when the real dragon has not received the wind and rain, it is often recognized as a water snake and yellow croaker, which is also a common thing, right?"
Cao Cao laughed.
"But if it's a true dragon, how can it be ashamed of itself because it has shrunk into a well? When the wind and rain gather, it will naturally rise into the air. Gongsun Xun leaned against the wall of the pond and persuaded seriously. Brother Meng De is very talented and virtuous, you and I drank together that day, you said that you would like to conquer the west general to comfort your life, I have no doubts, and the same is true today! The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should not fall into his will for a day! Weak crown ambition, even more so! β
Cao Cao heard this, and suddenly stood up from the pool water, regardless of his nakedness, so that he could bow and thank him in the water: "Wen Qi's words today, Cao Cao will never dare to forget!" β
Gongsun Xun also laughed, he was very poor in water, so he stretched out his hand to hold the shore of the pool, wanting to stand up and return the salute...... However, as soon as he pressed the shore wall, he felt that there was a living creature under his hand that was slippery, and when he looked back, he was even more shocked, and then he exclaimed, ran and swam, and fled directly to the opposite side.
Cao Cao raised his eyes and couldn't help laughing: "The eldest husband compares himself to a dragon, is he actually afraid of a water snake?" β
Gongsun Xun fled from the other place, and when he looked back, it was really just a yellow water snake, so he couldn't help but blush: "I'm a northerner, I don't know the southern scenery, and I think it's a poisonous snake!" β
Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer: "The round-headed water snake has never heard any poisonous ......"
Gongsun Xun blushed more and more: "There are many snakes, how do you know that this one is not poisonous?" β
Cao Cao shook his head again and again: "Wen Qi is right, where is this a poisonous snake, it is clearly a poisonous dragon that turns into a dragon...... was just half-dead by Wen Qi's palm. β
Gongsun Xun was embarrassed, and after a closer look, sure enough, the snake was pressed by his own palm at that time, so he was annoyed and angry, and directly stepped forward and grabbed the snake's tail and threw it far into the whirlpool.
When this kind of thing happened, the two of them were even more confused, so naturally they didn't bother to talk nonsense, so the two helped each other rub their backs with grass and wood ashes, and hurriedly got up and left. Coincidentally, after the two of them came out of the bath, the sky gradually became gloomy, and there was more cool breeze, but there was no feeling of rain, which also made people feel comfortable, and they would not be as irritating as they were when they came.
Even when the wind was refreshing, everyone stood on horseback, and they were a little reluctant to leave the whirlpool.
"Vortex soup soup," Cao Cao immediately pointed out at the water's edge. "If you think about it carefully, although it is not a big river, it is in the heart of the Central Plains, and the Wenhua style along the way is not weak......
"That's just as well." Gongsun Xun's face did not change and calmly responded. "If nothing else, only the two of Lao Zhuang are enough to praise, not to mention Brother Meng De, your hidden dragon?"
Cao Cao immediately laughed, not knowing if it was shameless: "Actually, Wenqi's mother clan is also here, maybe in the future, I will be proud of you here!" β
The two of them were embarrassed for a while, but Xiahou Yuan, an honest man, was a little embarrassed to hear it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "I just hung the sages, how can I be so casual with them at this time?" β
"Does Miaocai look down on me so much?" Cao Cao laughed more and more when he heard this. "Although I, Cao Mengde, am down today, do I know that I will not be able to rank with the two sages in the future?"
"That's not what ...... meant"
"That's right, Brother Meng De is commendable!" Xiahou Yuan was about to refute, but was cut off by Gongsun Xun. "If you don't have the ambition at the age of the weak crown, do you have to wait until you are seventy or eighty, the twilight of the martyrs, to be strong?"
"That's exactly what it means." Cao Cao became more and more cheerful, and then beat his horse and rode away with the wind. "Do you know that I, Cao Mengde, can't be Cao Zhengxi in the future, and Wen Qi can't be Gongsun Zhenbei? Do you know that the meeting between the two of us today will not be able to be hung for future generations through the ages?! β
"How did you come again?" Lou Gui was speechless.
"Oh," Gongsun Xun replied casually, and also hit the horse to chase Cao Mengde. "When I was bathing just now, Brother Meng De and I encountered a poisonous Jiao and wanted to sneak on us, Brother Meng De pressed its tail, and I took the head, but it was divided into two and slaughtered!"
While speaking, Cao and Gongsun had already gone away, and it seemed that they should have laughed more than once, but these two sentences were blown back by the breeze and stayed in place, making everyone messy for a while.
βββββI'm the dividing line that is about to turn into a dragonβββββ
"In March of the fifth year of Xiping in the Later Han Dynasty, there was Huanglong in Yu. Confessor, the great-grandmother clan is also. Three years later, Taizu went to Cao Cao, bathed in the whirlpool with him, encountered the poisonous Jiao again, and killed him. βThe Book of Old Swallows. Volume I. Emperor Taizu Wu Benji
