In the end, Zhang Liao went to Liu Ai's mansion in Changshi, and Liu Ai was very cold to him in the Taiwei Mansion a few days ago, so Zhang Liao did not have much hope for Liu Ai to be invited, and sure enough, after seeing Liu Ai send the invitation, Liu Ai directly refused with "alcohol prohibition", and reprimanded him with righteous words, which made Zhang Liao scold in his heart, and almost turned his face on the spot.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, after the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the people's livelihood withered and the food was scarce.

But with the recovery of people's livelihood, the wind of drinking gradually rises, and has become an irreversible trend, especially from the top to the royal nobles, down to the common people of Limin, all of them do not prohibit drinking, to the Later Han Dynasty, ministers and celebrities are good at drinking, the royal family and aristocratic families often feast for days, the guests are overflowing, Tongyi capital, counties and townships, everywhere can be seen wine shops, the prohibition of alcohol has long become a dead letter.

Now Liu Ai excused himself with the prohibition of alcohol and reprimanded him, which seems to be an upright act, but Zhang Liao is also the best at observing words and feelings, and he can see the contempt and disdain in Liu Ai's words and deeds at once, obviously looking down on him as a little Sima.

It is no wonder that Liu Ai is a relative of the Han family, although I don't know how many generations have passed, but after all, he thinks that his blood is noble, and his status and real power are also high, according to the Eastern Han Dynasty system of three princes leading nine qing, Taiwei leads Taichang, Weiwei, Guangluxun Sanqing, and Liu Ai is the chief of Taiwei Mansion, the official rank is Qianshi, and he is in charge of the affairs of Taiwei Mansion, and the real power is very great, far from Zhang Liao, the Pingjin Sima, can be compared.

The famous family is cold, Zhang Liao is not even a poor family, Liu Ai naturally will not be invited.

Even the little black dog couldn't help but scold: "This bullshit celebrity, his brain is in the water, he has no ability, but he has raised that arrogant and arrogant stinky problem, dog boy, there will be a chance to slap him twice in the future, if the poor mana is still there, I would have been unable to find this guy to play in the southeast and northwest." ”

Zhang Liao just smiled, for Liu Ai's refusal, he was actually expected. Of the four people invited by Zhang Liao, Liu Ai has the greatest status and power, but in Zhang Liao's heart, this person is the most secondary, Liu Ai's self-respecting identity, Zhang Liao may not see him as heavy.

In Zhang Liao's view, in terms of strategy and intelligence, Liu Ai is not as good as Li Ru and Jia Xu, and in terms of closeness to Dong Zhuo, Liu Ai is not as good as Tian Yi, who has been following Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's appointment of Liu Ai as the chief historian was largely due to the fact that he just showed an attitude of being close to scholars and clansmen.

Among these four people, Zhang Liao values Jia Xu the most, that is a great power that has been tested by history, if you can get closer, it will definitely be beneficial, and at a critical time, you can show yourself a clear way, then everything is in vain.

It's just that Jia Xu closed the door to thank the guests, and he couldn't help it.

However, Zhang Liao knew that nine or eight times out of ten things in life were unsatisfactory, Li Ru and Tian Yi could be invited, and he was already very happy, even if Yang Han and Jiang Qi each brought a personal guard, escorting the luxury carriage and waiting at the gate of Li Mansion and Tian Mansion.

Whether the two of them do this carriage or not, but always have an attitude of their own, at least it will make them feel comfortable.

Yang Han saw that Zhang Liao was so busy, and couldn't help muttering: "It's just two little civil officials who are not famous, let me wait to do it, how can I use Sima to condescend to be busy." ”

Seeing that Jiang Qi and several guards also showed disapproving expressions, Zhang Liao's eyes widened: "The ability is not big, but the arrogance is not small!" ”

Yang Han was so frightened that he couldn't help shrinking his head, now Zhang Liao's prestige in their hearts is very high, and they subconsciously have a little more awe, not in the awe of their position, but in the true respect and awe from the heart.

Jiang Qi's personal guards watched Yang Han being trained, and while they were happy, they all showed a gloating smile.

Zhang Liao glanced at them, snorted, and said: "Since ancient times, Wenchen has governed the country, and military generals have complemented each other, and none of them are indispensable. As a soldier, you must be fiercer than a tiger in the battlefield and against the enemy! Worse than wolves! But outside the battlefield, we must not be arrogant, no matter how we treat the people or officials, whether we are against the top or below, whether we are against literature or military, it is always right to make friends. You can't be spineless, but that kind of sick self-esteem is also unacceptable. ”

Yang Han and the others listened to Zhang Liao's words, and they were all pondering for a while.

In this era, books are rare, and it is even more difficult to enter school, which is the exclusive use of the family and the children of the poor family, and they are all from poor families, not even from the poor family, they are limited by the natural environment, how can anyone ever teach them like this, not to mention that Zhang Liao's opinions are not worse than those Confucians.

For a while, several people were very moved, and they bowed their heads in contemplation, Zhang Liao's words undoubtedly touched them a lot.

Zhang Liao admonished, leaving Yang Han and Jiang Qi to wait for Li Ru and Tian Yi, and rode the elephant dragon to Dongshi.

The East Market is outside the East Gate of Luoyang City, and the residences of Dong Zhuo's cronies such as Li Ru and Tian Yi are near the Upper East Gate, and the Buguangli and Yongheli in the area of the Upper East Gate are the Li Fang where courtiers and magnates live, similar to the Beique Jiadi in Chang'an of the former Han Dynasty, the royal family and nobles gather, the high-ranking families and nobles face each other, and the East Market is very close to the East Market located outside the Middle East Gate.

Nowadays, there is a saying: the world is prosperous in Luoyang, and Luoyang is prosperous in Dongshi.

Zhang Liao urged the horse to go before the tea cup kung fu, and arrived in Dongshi. The East Market is the most prosperous of the three cities in Luoyang, which is managed by the East Market Order, and is open during the day and closed at night.

There are all kinds of products from various states and counties and even foreign countries, such as grain, meat, vegetables, cloth and silk, treasures, pearls and jade, vehicles and horses, etc., all of which are needed.

Orchid Restaurant is the most distinctive wine shop in the East Market, the wine shop not only serves special Western fruits and dishes, but also the best wine, but the price is extremely high, and there are beautiful orchid performances and songs, showing exotic customs, ordinary people do not dare to enter here without a thousand gold.

The original Zhang Liao naturally had no money to enter the orchid restaurant, but now Zhang Liao has just robbed a sum of money from Yuan Shu, and it is when his waist bag is swollen, and he is not distressed to spend it, like flowing water.

This is Zhang Liao's character, thick and black, bold and free, can covet other people's good things, and do everything possible to blacken over, but he can also scatter wealth in a blink of an eye, spend a lot of money without hesitation, is really regarded as a wasteland, even Zuo Ci thinks that although Zhang Liao, a dog boy, has shamelessness, black heart, impulsiveness, arrogance and other shortcomings, but also has a heart and bearing, and is a person who can do great things.

East Market in the Middle East Gate Outer Street, the street has more than ten zhang open, at this time it is nearly noon, the autumn is high and refreshing, the breeze is slow, two rows of century-old trees in the middle of the East Market sandwich the royal road, the trunk is vigorous and simple, the leaves Xiao Xiao falls, the shops on both sides of the avenue are lined up one after another, people come and go, the river is endless, bargaining, shouting, the autumn is killing with prosperity again.
