Chapter 13 Invitation
For several days in a row, Gongsun Xun led more than a dozen white horse guards, going back and forth between his home and Nangong in a strict and cautious manner, occasionally going to Luoyang City to deal with some official duties such as extinguishing fires and catching thieves, or going to Sili Lieutenant to hand over documents, all of which were hugged by the front and back.
In this regard, those who know naturally know that he is guarding against Wang Fu's revenge, and those who don't know think that it is the 'evil ghost Yuan Highway in the road' who has changed his tricks!
However, for several days, Wang Fu didn't see any action, but heard that this guy began to close the door of his home, and he lived in a simple house, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, anyway, Gongsun Xun really didn't know how to deal with it.
After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief in this world, where is the reason to be a thief for a thousand days?
"Where is Ziheng, quickly call him over, just say I have something to discuss with him!" In the evening of this day, as soon as Gongsun Xun came back, he couldn't help but shout repeatedly, ready to discuss the matter with the other party.
In other words, who is it if you don't call Lu Fan?
If it is a matter of losing his head, not to mention Han Dang and Wei Yue, even a random person from his own righteousness may be far better than those elites of the Northern Army, but this kind of head-moving thing is Lu Fan and Lou Gui, and Lou Gui, a semi-head snake, must not move from the Qi clan in order to respond if necessary.
"Ziheng is out?" After a few breaths, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be shocked. "Invited by the deceased? Does he also have an old friend in Luozhong? β
"Returning to Shaojun." Han Dang was also puzzled. "We don't know what's going on, we just know that someone first submitted a letter to the Yi Shi Sheh yesterday, and then Lou Zibo quickly sent the letter to Lu Ziheng this morning, and after reading the letter, he went straight out, and the guards were not allowed to follow, and now he hasn't come back for most of the day......."
After listening to the explanation, Gongsun Xun was even more confused, which is not right? But no matter what, he could only reluctantly give up, and was ready to wait for Lu Fan to come back.
And just as Gongsun Xun was about to leave Han Dang to eat first, someone suddenly came to report outside the door, saying that someone had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, and when he saw the master coming back, he immediately handed over the invitation to him.
To tell the truth, Gongsun Xun's first reaction was that Wang Fu was finally about to start, so his heart was as relaxed as a stone falling to the ground. In his opinion, tonight completely frightened the other party, and made this man remember that he was a man who came back from a desperate situation in northern Xinjiang, and it would naturally stop in the future......
However, when Gongsun Xun received the name thorn handed by his family, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Cai Bo invited me? Invite me? β
"It's the servant of the Cai Mansion." The family quickly responded. "It was said that Cai Bojiao and Cai Gong invited Shaojun to go to the mansion for a while, and said that he had prepared the Suqin Golden Sutra ......"
Gongsun Xun became more and more speechless, not to mention that Cai Yong had been cheated by himself so many times, how could he still come to invite himself? Just said that in this situation, how can he, a famous and romantic person, be the target of his own ...... Ahem, what about the fellowship of the mainstay?
He's not afraid of being implicated?
Of course, thinking about it, Gongsun Xun was still ready to make an appointment, and he still made complete preparations, and called dozens of people to go to Cai's mansion with great fanfare......
After all, although Cai Yong is a waste that he will never be able to do anything like a Hongmen banquet, his uncle Cai Zhen is a serious Jiuqing, and he has had an argument with Yang Qiu before, and both sides are holding wine glasses behind their backs and bragging to others, saying that sooner or later they will kill each other's whole family...... Therefore, maybe Cai Zhen suddenly took refuge in Wang Fu behind his back, and then borrowed his nephew's name to kill himself!
However, having said that, Gongsun Xun went all the way safely and walked into Cai's mansion, but Cai Yong stood alone at the foot of the stairs and greeted him slightly.
In other words, it was really just Cai Bojiao who invited him as a guest, and he also took the initiative to make a degraded etiquette regardless of his identity and age, so it seemed that Gongsun Xun was a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Cai Gong!" Seeing this, Gongsun Xun hurriedly saluted from afar. "Why is that?"
"The clouds in the court are treacherous, who doesn't know that Wang Fu wants to kill you?" Cai Yong puffed out his nose and sighed. "Wen Qi can come here without avoiding risks at this time, she can trust me, how can I be bound by vulgar etiquette? Besides, I have something to ask you about later. β
Gongsun Xun nodded slightly, and he was no longer polite, and then the two helped each other and walked into the inner hall. In the inner hall, there are already two cases and two futons, and they are not divided into priorities, but they are just lined up opposite each other.
As soon as the two sat down, Cai Yong, as the host, waved his hand to let the family serve wine and food, in this regard, although Gongsun Xun had doubts in his heart, he maintained a huge psychological advantage over the other party after all, so he was able to endure it.
Eat first until you are full, and then remove all the wine and food on the table, and start to play the piano again...... I have to say that Cai Bojiao's musical attainments are indeed unique in the world, let alone a one-person show.
In this way, after playing three tunes in a row, Cai Yong finally held down the strings, and then raised his head and sighed: "I Cai Yong loves to entertain guests the most in my life, gather people to feast and drink, and then wait until the wine is drunk, the drum and piano make music, and after a song is played, dozens of scholars will praise together, and then you will feel fluttering like a fairy, and the joy of life is nothing more than this." But I don't want to play solo when the night is clear, but it is also a different taste. β
Gongsun Xun kept silent, just nodded again and again, and then secretly sneered in his heart - I want to see what tricks you are going to play today!
"Wen Qi, I'm done playing the piano, do you have that kind of short poem with implied ambition to give?" Cai Yongfu asked sincerely.
Gongsun Xun immediately spread his hands: "Cai Gong's chest is emotional, that's why he will be happy, I am confused, where is the ambition to compose poetry?" β
"I take it for granted." Cai Yong couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then suddenly turned back to his family and commanded. "Go and call the ladies and them......"
At this moment, Gongsun Xun finally felt a little numb, is this going to see his wife? No, what kind of medicine is sold in this Cai Bo's gourd? ...... for no reason Is our friendship really that good?
But I didn't have time to think about it, and after a while, with a ringing sound, Gongsun Xun could only quickly get up to greet him, and then take a closer look, but he couldn't help but be shocked!
You must know that Gongsun Xun originally thought that only the other party's serious wife came out to greet him...... It's okay, etiquette is, and even wanting to get closer to each other is an unavoidable move between scholars and doctors.
But at this time, with Cai Yong's greeting, a bunch of women actually came out!
And take a closer look, these women, whether they are old or dressed, how they look like concubines and the like, they are the first one in front, although they are holding a little girl dressed up in a general corner, and there is a white cat at their feet, but they don't look like they are dressed in a formal room, at most they are a little wife...... Of course, a lady can also refer to a young wife, but what is that?!
So, Gongsun Xun stood stunned for a while, at a loss.
"Oh, Wen Qi don't rush to see the ceremony, and don't panic." Cai Yong seemed to have expected the other party's reaction, so he quickly stood up and explained. "I am forty and six this year, my original partner died early, and the main room of the continuation of the string also passed away seven or eight years ago, but because I have no children under my knees, I have to raise more young wives and concubines...... But even so, now only Wu Niang has given birth to a daughter for me, and she doesn't care about it. β
Hearing this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but look at the beautiful little girl in Cai Yong's wife's hand, but blurted out: "Is this Cai Wenji?" β
"Where did you hear the nonsense?" Cai Yong said helplessly. "My daughter's maiden name is in a Zhao character, where did she get any text?"
Gongsun Xun only felt dizzy, so he shook his head again and again: "It's quite similar to his mother, and she was born exceptionally well." β
"That's the truth." Cai Yong couldn't help but laugh. "I only have this daughter raised under my knees, so I am naturally exceptionally good."
"Your Excellency!" When the little girl heard this, she suddenly raised her head and interjected. "He's not praising you, he's saying that you're ugly."
Cai Yong was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but blush: "Wen Qi is still so annoying." β
Gongsun Xun was embarrassed, so he could only wave his hand again and again: "Cai Gong must have a request for doing this...... Let's get down to business! Get down to business! β
"Then let's get down to business." Cai Yong smiled awkwardly when he heard this. "Since Wen Qi has seen my little wife, daughter, and concubine, it is natural that she has a trust......
"Hold on to what?" Gongsun Xun was extremely vigilant.
"Isn't Wen Qi promising?" Cai Yong asked calmly. "And I'm dying, if there is some accident, I can always help take care of one or two, right?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that those concubines lamented one by one, even Gongsun Xun was also stunned: "What is Gong Cai talking nonsense?" Not to mention whether to entrust or not to entrust...... It's really entrusted, you have such a wide range of travel, who can't be trusted, how can you entrust me to a central capital official? β
"Hey," Cai Yong quickly shook his head. "First, it's just a precaution; Second, in fact, there is another thing today, which must be entrusted to you, but the family is just doing it by the way! β
Gongsun Xun didn't know what to say.
"This person is the Zhongdu official, the white horse Zhonglang Gongsun Xun, you remember his appearance and name and retreat." Cai Yong commanded, and then turned his head to look at Gongsun Xun again. "Wen Qi will follow me to the East Pavilion!"
Gongsun Xun finally came to his senses...... Feelings are this!
"My lord, I'm going too!" All the concubines of the Cai family had to retreat, but Cai Zhaoji, who was dressed as the chief horn, was holding the cat with one hand and dragging the corner of her father's clothes with the other.
"That's it!" Cai Yong is naturally indispensable.
Immediately, the servant picked up the lamp in front, and the three of them and one cat went to the East Pavilion of Caifu.
"Gong Cai wants to entrust the East Pavilion collection to me?" Since Gongsun Xun had a hint of enlightenment in his heart, he naturally spoke up.
"Yes, yes." Cai Yong said calmly while dragging his daughter. "I've looked at your printed books these days, and they're really beautiful, and they're light and tidy, much better than the ones you took from my house that day...... In that case, it is better to give you all the remaining books, and return the paper to me in the future. β
Gongsun Xun was too lazy to complain in his heart, he was also amazed when he first saw the kind of book sent by his mother, but then he heard that as long as the engraving plate is not lost, it can be printed many times, and he immediately understood in his heart - rare is expensive, this thing is really not worth mentioning compared with the original recorded by Cai Bojiao, a famous man in the world.
Of course, this truth is certainly not worth mentioning in front of Cai Yong.
While speaking, the three of them and one cat had already boarded the East Pavilion of Cai's Mansion.
"Wen Qi, you see, I have more than 10,000 books in my life." Cai Yong let go of his daughter's hand, then took the lantern of his servant, and personally picked up the lantern for Gongsun Xun in front of him. "With these 10,000 books alone, it is enough to be proud of the world's famous people...... I think that back then, in Shandong and Guanxi, how many scholars were young and vigorous, and they were resentful of my Cai Bojiao's reputation in Luozhong, but after seeing my drumming and writing, ninety-nine out of a hundred were willing to bow down. As for the remaining one, as long as I lead him to walk around this eastern pavilion, I will bow my head too. Wen Qi, what do you think? β
Rao is Gongsun Xun has no virtue in his heart, and he can't help standing at this time, sighing slightly: "Looking at it all over the eyes, it is like a beautiful jade, which makes people respect." β
"What a dazzling one!" Cai Yong immediately laughed. "I thought Wen Qi would be dismissive? You didn't change your face that day, and you robbed me of thousands of books......"
"That's because I know in my heart that when the book arrives in my home in Liaoxi, it will definitely not let the treasures in Cai Gong's family be dusted like pearls!" Gongsun Xun came back to his senses slightly when he heard this. "Don't hide it from Cai Gong, if you talk about knowledge and knowledge, my mother must not be inferior to you...... This is what Lu Shi often sighs! β
"This sounds ridiculous at first, but I believe it faintly." Cai Yong chuckled. "Otherwise, how can you teach a character like you? In northern Xinjiang, he is a white horse Zhonglang and is valued by Yanmen County; In Luozhong, it is the mainstay, which makes the eunuch's whole family frightened. Even if you don't talk about this, then 'above the temple, the rotten wood is the official; Between the palaces and majestys, birds and beasts eat Lu. so that the wolf-hearted dog is violent; The words of the servants who are servile and knee-laden have been in charge of the government' are also convincing...... Do you know that since I heard these words, I have often lamented at home that I have lived in vain, but I am really inferior to you! β
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but move in his heart: "Gong Cai seems to mean something? β
"I didn't say much in front of the concubines just now, but at this time, I won't hide it from Wenqi." Cai Yong replied proudly. "After the Shuo Ri Dynasty, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to let me have a few doctors and Confucian senators to discuss the matter of changing the yuan, so I took the opportunity to write on the paper in the song, bluntly talking about the personnel of the DPRK and China, and put out those 'wolf-hearted dogs, slaves and serviles' one by one! This afternoon, this recital has been sealed and sent to the North Palace, and His Majesty should have previewed it at this time. β
Gongsun Xun was dumbfounded, but finally asked: "Dare to ask Cai Gong, whose name did you name?" β
"I'm not as good as Wen Qi to dare to face Cao Jie and Wang Fu." Cai Yong said angrily. "But the arrogance of the nurse of the Son of Heaven Zhao, the greed of Cheng Huang and Guangluxun Weizhang, the lawlessness of Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate, Gai Sheng, the captain of the Tun cavalry, and Cao Poshi, the captain of the Yue cavalry, I have not pulled down any of them! Moreover, he also recommended to the Son of Heaven the court captain Guo Xi, the Guanglu doctor Qiao Xuanqiao Gong, and the former Taiwei Liu Pet Liu Gong......"
Gongsun Xun wanted to speak and stopped...... To be honest, it's not that he doesn't want to complain about one or two, but there are too many slots in this piece that he doesn't know where to complain for a while!
However, all in all, if I have to summarize this note, it should be the following comments:
First of all, it is naturally righteous and awe-inspiring.
There is no doubt about this, no matter what, it always means that the scholars directly tore their faces against the eunuch faction, and the position of the enemy and the enemy is clear...... It didn't get dark!
Secondly, it is full of private goods.
Not to mention anything else, Cheng Huang, the only one who was directly attacked by him, was the palace helper on Yangqiu's side, and for this reason, Cheng Huang specially adopted a beautiful daughter and then married Yangqiu. And the relationship between Yangqiu and the Cai family, don't forget that he and Cai Yong's uncle Cai Zhen will shout to kill the other party's whole family as soon as they drink too much.
Third, it will inevitably cause tension between the DPRK and China.
After all, there are too many people involved in the direct naming of names, and all of them are powerful tycoons, all over the world and abroad, it would be strange if this group of people didn't jump in a hurry!
In the end, it is precisely because this group of people wants to jump their feet that Cai Yong himself will inevitably suffer a huge retaliation...... Of course, it's no wonder that this guy is half showing off and half sincere, and he is a little humble enough to entrust this collection of books.
As for why Cai Bojiao himself is so unwise?
It's simple and straightforward...... First, after all, it is a bookish business, naΓ―ve and ridiculous, and an honest person; Second, he said every day that there were six out of forty or something, and he also felt that he was so old and didn't have a son, so it was better to fight and be a real official. Thirdly, he has to say that these broad forces in his heart still have some moral righteousness.
Of course, these are none of Gongsun Xun's affairs, or from Gongsun Xun's point of view, this matter is beneficial and harmless, he is about to oppress the situation and make those eunuchs and magnates at a loss.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, haven't all the pieces been sent? What else?
"What does Wen Qi think?" Cai Yong's face flushed, his nose puffed out, and he asked expectantly.
Gongsun Xun immediately muttered, and then stroked Cai Zhaoji's 'general horn' next to him with his hand, and said: "For the sake of this 10,000-volume collection, it is always necessary to keep Cai Gong from dying without a place to be buried!" β
"My lord, he's cursing you!" Cai Zhaoji, who was holding the white cat, immediately raised her head and said.
