『Chapter error, click here to report』
At the end of the day's visit, Gao Gan and frustrated were tired to death, but his mood was inexplicably excited, and the unwilling and depressed mood of Lu Peng, who was forced to surrender, became more and more cheerful and relaxed with the visit.
Frustrated, he was shocked and anxious about his current thoughts, and finally depressed and disdainful.
He is the most loyal person to Yuan Shao, for the prosperity of Yuan Shao's family, he did not hesitate to speak out, did not hesitate to offend all his colleagues, did not hesitate to offend the lord, and even when he returned to the state with the senior cadres, the lord's nephews and nephews all surrendered, and only he was a scribe, fighting to the death with a sword, and finally committed suicide before being humiliated and captured.
This time, when he came to Youzhou, he didn't actually surrender to Lu Peng, but he was going to scold Lu Peng when he received his degraded officials, and then he went to die.
However, after everyone came to Youzhou, Lu Peng did not give himself this opportunity. During this period of time, Lu Peng let his degraded officers visit his army, visit his military parade, visit his household money and grain reserves, visit his core manufacturing capacity, visit factories, visit towns, visit villages, visit fields, rivers, canals, visit wealthy families, and also visit ordinary people's homes, which can be described as comprehensive, so that all people really feel the wealth, peace and harmony of Youzhou, and - Fu Zhu now does not know what words to use to describe Youzhou, In the end, it can only be said in the most plain words that cannot show a little talent and literary brilliance - heaven on earth.
As more and more places were visited, his frustrated mood changed more and more, and his idea of scolding Lu Peng became weaker and weaker.
Scolding needs a reason, especially a literati like himself, who is not a civilian reckless, let alone a mad dog or a wild dog, barking unreasonably. If you want to scold, it is like You Heng, and you will leave a name for the ages.
At the beginning, I wanted to scold Lu Peng, but there were good reasons, such as not being inferior to the upper and lower, ignoring the old and the young, respecting the law of the Han Dynasty, using swords and soldiers without permission, making the lives miserable, etc., etc., in the heart of the frustrated teacher, Lu Peng's 25 major sins have been listed, so he is ready to scold heartily in front of outsiders, and then die generously.
As a result, now he found that what Lu Peng practiced and achieved, without him saying it, had truly refuted his 25 major sins.
Now he has begun to wonder if the 25 cardinal sins he summed up are some fabricated facts and framed plainly, such as shrews scolding the street. He had already begun to doubt his character in pain, and when he tossed and turned in the dark night, he began to suspect that he was not a gentleman, but more like a dirty villain.
Today's visit is over, back to the inn assigned to him, the inn's little two, first courteously brought up a delicate mud pot, a pot of a few pieces of burning charcoal, immediately this neat and clean room, smoked warm like spring.
This is the unique coke of Changli County, Youzhou, this thing is burn-resistant, the heat is large, and the fireworks are small, and it has become a must-choose winter material for everyone in the north and south of the Han Dynasty, which made Lu Peng earn a lot of money for a while.
I washed my face comfortably, burned my feet, and then climbed onto the kang.
This is also a fresh thing, it is said that it was also invented by Lu Peng, built with adobe and muddy water, and burned firewood underneath, at this time, sitting on it, the heat coming from under the buttocks, made people feel comfortable and didn't want to move again.
The junior smiled and asked respectfully, "Is Mr.'s dinner to the front, or is it eaten directly on the kang?" ”
Frustrated that he wanted to be quiet, he said, "Bring the food to the house, and I will eat it on this hot kang." ”
Xiao Er smiled and agreed to go out, and after a while, the two guys put hands on each other, brought a small square table, and put it directly on the kang.
There are still four dishes and one soup on the table, and there is no such thing as the sea of meat and wine of other local officials, and the extravagance and waste in comparison.
At the beginning, there were also many people who expressed indignation at such simple food, and in their opinion, this was Youzhou's contempt for their own degraded officials.
But I quietly inquired, all the officials in Youzhou are treated like this, even the dignified Youzhou Mu, if it is not the arrival of the princes at the same level, whether at home or outside, strictly follow the standard of these four dishes and one soup to eat, and there is absolutely no privilege higher than anyone else.
As the saying goes, if you don't suffer from poverty but suffer from injustice, since the state pastor is like this, then everyone has nothing to complain about.
A small tandoor, two delicate pieces of charcoal at the bottom, and a small casserole sat on it, and what was tumbling in it was stewed bacon with yam vermicelli, the unique taste of Youzhou, which immediately spread throughout the room, so that the frustrated person who had no appetite at all suddenly had an appetite.
There are also four small dishes next to the small stove, two meat and two vegetables are matched with each other, but there are no greens in winter, and the main ingredient is yam.
However, here, the method of making yam is already full of tricks, sometimes you look at this yam, but when you put it in your mouth, it is definitely the taste of another ingredient, and sometimes you look at this thing like a chicken leg, but when you pick it up with chopsticks, put it in your mouth, it turns out to be a luscious yam taste.
picked up the delicate wine jug on the table, lifted the lid, sniffed it carefully, and then asked the little two with a smile: "Why is it not the second pot head of yam today, but Fenjiu?" ”
Xiao Er hurriedly replied with a smile: "Today, my eldest gentleman came back, he said that in the past ten years, he has been selling back and forth in Yizhou and Zhou, and he has inherited your affection, so he paid out of his own pocket and exchanged the best Fenjiu for you." ”
He smiled at the frustration: "Mr. Zhang Shiyuan is rich in the world, and the name of heroic benevolence and righteousness has spread all over the world, and this wine Moutai is from his family, and today he wants to repay the favor of these old people, but he only took out this second-hand goods, and he is reluctant to give up that Moutai, it is really stingy." ”
When I said this, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, what happened to me today? has always been a self-talking, but surprisingly began to joke with others, but it was so relaxed and without any burden.
I don't know when Xiao Er withdrew, so he looked at the wine and food on the table blankly and began to be confused, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
The reason why I didn't smile at the original time was because I had to face a mountain of official duties every day, countless bad news from all over the country, and the temperamental character of the lord, and the mutual attack and deceit of traitors and villains who could not be prevented between colleagues were troubled and surrounded, where was there still a mood to laugh, where could I laugh?
Today, no, it's because I've been in a good mood for a while, and I'm smiling.
