Chapter 6 Peaks and Loops
"Tell me everything you know about Liu Gong, and give me a silver ingot."
The time was the evening of the same day, and it was Gongsun Xun who spoke, and the object of the speech was a group of low-level officials in the countryside and the pavilion under the Shishi Mountain, and between Gongsun Xun and this group of officials was a bunch of silver ingots with white flowers, ingot-shaped, which was dazzling under the reflection of the candlelight.
In other words, silver was basically not used as currency in the Han Dynasty, and the real currency in circulation in the Han Dynasty should be copper coins, cloth and gold, while silver was generally used to mint silver. However, this thing is a natural precious metal after all, and its value is unquestionable.
As for why someone rewards others with silver ingots that are all white flowers, then you have to ask a certain lady with bad tastes.
Without further ado, when I got back to the present, I was pitiful for a group of low-level officials-Gongsun Xun, in order not to cause trouble, I didn't even invite the township Qiang and the pavilion chief, but some of the township scholars, the chief, and the thieves and the like, all of them were locals who lived under the Qi Mountain, and the Son of Heaven had some insight at his feet, but he might not have seen him in the same room with so much silver in his life.
"I'll say something about Liu Gong for Shaojun." A township scholar was the first to hold back, and sure enough, this scholar has been unreliable since ancient times. "Liu Gong is extremely fond of drinking, and he is very lazy, rarely washes his hands and bathes, from his hometown Hongnong to Nanyang, where he served as a taishou, almost everyone knows his hobby, and in the early years, some people in Luoyang City even made up proverbs based on this, but I really can't remember the specific text."
"I see!" Gongsun Xun smiled and handed over a piece of silver directly. "I like to drink and I'm too lazy to take a shower...... That's right, but is there anything else? ”
Everyone else's eyes are straight, and everyone like Nima can give silver for things that everyone knows, so what are you thinking about?
"Shaojun." A lieutenant commander grabbed the conversation directly with a loud voice. "Let me tell you an anecdote about Liu Gong last year...... Liu Gong is a well-known lenient person, once last year he returned to Hongnong's hometown from Luoyang, and he didn't bring a servant, just drove an ox cart along the road alone. As a result, when I walked on the road, I happened to meet a man who had lost his cow, not saying that the cow on Liu's bus belonged to his family. And guess what? This Liu Gong didn't say a word, he got out of the car and gave the cow to the man, and then walked home by himself. Later, two days later, the man found his cow again, and he was very ashamed, so he took the cow to Luoyang Liu Gong's Mansion to apologize...... As a result, Liu Gong said that the cow is not a person, and it is normal to admit mistakes, where do you need to apologize? On the contrary, it is tired of you to go to the city for a special trip. In the end, Liu Gong actually entertained the man for another meal, and then sent the person away with a smile. ”
Gongsun Xun was really stunned this time...... This Liu Kuan is the emperor of Jiuqing, there is no doubt that he is a big man, and his temper is so good? If someone dares to slander other people's cattle in the border county, I am afraid that the white knife will enter and the red knife will come out.
And if it is said that the cow is untied to the other party in the front, it can be regarded as a hero who does not suffer immediate losses, then everyone in the back has come to his own house, and he is so lenient, so what is it? True bodhisattva heart?
"That's right, that's the kind of thing, tell me more!" After coming back to his senses, Gongsun Xun directly took two ingots of silver and handed them over.
"I know one thing, too." Another person couldn't wait to speak. "This Liu Gong's leniency has reached the point of incredible...... It is said that he has never lost his temper, and even his wife finds it strange for decades. So once in the early dynasty, when Liu Gong was dressed and was about to leave home, his wife asked a maid to come in with a pot of hot meat soup, and pretended to miss and splashed the meat soup on Liu Gong's body, so as to test the ...... And guess what? Instead of getting angry, Liu Gong directly grabbed the maid's hand and asked her if she was burned......"
Gongsun Xun, who was mentally prepared, handed over two ingots of silver with a normal face.
In this way, after listening to one thing after another, the image of a national elder with an extremely mild temper, an extreme penchant for promoting the backwards, an extreme alcoholic, extremely lazy, and extremely learned was slowly sketched out.
Gongsun Xun was relieved, because he could hear that this Liu Gong was not a true saint, and he was also going to pretend to be a saint for a lifetime...... And is there a difference between the two?
Since he is such a good man, even if the other party is not clear in his heart, he just pinch his nose and lean on!
If you can take a ride on your own brother, you can naturally take a second ride...... Does his brother Gongsun Zan feel uncomfortable? He didn't miss two taels of meat!
In this way, after listening to the anecdotes in the middle of the night, he sent out a whole stack of silver ingots, but early the next morning, Gongsun Xun seemed to be in good spirits, and even urged Aunt Jin to prepare things again and again, and then escorted the car to Luoyang City with Gongsun Yue and Han Dang.
The door on Liu Kuan's house is as easy-going as the door on Liu Yu's house, but this time people didn't even look at the famous thorn, just asked about the situation and directly opened the door to let them in...... Gongsun Xun is okay, after all, he is a little prepared in his heart, this Gongsun Yue and Han Dang are already dumbfounded.
When he entered the door, there were naturally servants who received gifts while leading Gongsun Xun and others to the hall to see the master's house. And not only Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Yue, but even Han Dang was also led to the court, making the latter uncomfortable - he is a ranger in the western border county of Liaoxi, the largest is only a 200-stone barrier captain, and he has not officially taken office, and now he is just a white-bodied guest, how can he be led to the main hall of Liu Gongjia, one of the emperors and one of the nine Qings?
I also gave a seat to it!
After a while, Gongsun Zhan came out first, first squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes for a while, and then it was Liu Kuan's eldest son Liu Song who came out, and everyone hurriedly got up to greet him.
In other words, this Liu Song is already middle-aged, his beard has grown very long, and he is also a figure who has started a family, but he is also very polite when he comes out.
Gongsun Xun hurriedly talked about the relationship between himself and the others and Gongsun Zhan, as well as the problem of restraint.
"Oh." Liu Song twisted his beard and nodded repeatedly. "The gift has been temporarily collected by the mother, but Xian Kunzhong has a lot of other important gifts in addition to the six ceremonies, and the family style is very strict, whether to accept it or not or not has to wait for the father to make a ruling, you may as well wait."
Gongsun Yue was nervous, and almost instinctively asked: "I don't know what Gong Liu is busy with?" If there is something important to do, we can retire first. ”
"It doesn't matter." Liu Song continued to twist his beard and said. "My father was in a good mood last night because he accepted Bogui as a student, so he drank a few more glasses, and now he is still sleeping soundly...... In any case, he will always wake up at noon, and if he has nothing to do, it is better to sit with me and talk about some western Liaoxi scenery, which will also increase my knowledge. ”
Gongsun Yue and Han Dang are becoming more and more overwhelmed, isn't this really self-exposing their family ugliness? But Gongsun Xun is still unfazed - very good, I can only say that this is very Liu Kuan.
There is no such thing as lunch these years, although Gongsun Xun is used to being raised by his wife, he can only endure it, and then talk to the son of Jiuqing about Wuhuan, Xianbei and other topics...... At noon, sure enough, an old man with black circles under his eyes and casually dressed and swarthy hands walked out of it slowly.
From Liu Song to Gongsun Zhan, from Gongsun Xun to Han Dang, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Sit all down." The old man waved his hand disapprerovingly. "People live in the world to talk about liberation, why should a group of young people be so restrained? Don't be like my child, who has been taught by his mother since he was a child, and has lost his sharpness. ”
Liu Song was right in front of him, and everyone didn't know how to answer.
"When I got up just now, I heard my wife say, you are here to pay homage to Bo Gui?" Liu Kuan sat down and said to himself. "I've heard that there are a lot of fine wines in the gifts, which makes me quite excited, but why is that? I have always been a student wherever I go, from Donghai to Nanjun, from Hongnong to Luoyang, I have students all over the place. As for this kid, Bergui, who is dignified, polite, and well-born, I liked it very much when I saw it yesterday......"
"You old fool!" At this moment, an elderly female voice suddenly came from the back of the hall. "Are you really confused or is the wine not sober?! People's gifts range from the six gifts to all kinds of exquisite utensils, all of which are purchased in three parts, and the three brothers are all together, it is clear that these two people also want to worship you as a teacher, why do you turn it over and transfer it and only say one Bogui?! ”
Gongsun Yue's face turned pale in shock, and Han Dang was even more frightened and stood up directly, but Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Zan and Liu Song turned a deaf ear and reluctantly held the shelf.
"Hahaha!" This was when Chao Guangluxun Liu Kuan slapped his hands and laughed when he heard this. "What Madame instructed me is that I am old and confused, since you two are so eager to learn, then come forward and worship me!"
Rao is expressions were different before, at this time Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed, the two of them came forward to bow down, and called their lords, even after Lu Zhi, a registered teacher of scriptures, there is another real teacher who has entered the hall...... And he is also the emperor of the dynasty who ranks in Jiuqing.
"Emperor Taizu Wu is studious, at the beginning of Zhuojun Lu Zhi in the Shishi Mountain, but Lu Zhi worships Jiujiang Taishou, the group of young people frolicking excessively, the independent emperor does not fake his voice, day and night hard to read in the house. Liu Kuan, a famous minister of the Later Han Dynasty, heard his recitation through the door, and said: 'How can you put beautiful jade here? 'It is to push the door in, to be included in the room, to teach by word and deed, and to be preached by Shilin. —"Shilin Miscellaneous". Persuasion. Recorded by Yan Anonymous
