Section 6: The Appearance of the Aftermath of the Burnt
There are words in the cloud: "Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more Nakan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival!" ”
In the early autumn morning, in the huge boudoir, only Xiao Qiao was left leaning on the windowsill alone.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Ping'er knocked on the door and said, "Breakfast has been made, can Miss use some?" ”
"No, you don't."
"If you don't want to eat, can you use some fruit?"
As soon as Ping'er's words fell, Xiao Qiao glanced at the table suddenly, but the table was empty. She wandered around, but still couldn't see anything she was looking forward to, so she said, "Where is the food box I put on the table yesterday?" ”
"Now in the kitchen."
"Where's the grapes in the box?"
"Resting in the Ice Jar."
"Hurry up."
"Miss is asking for a food box?"
"Both."
After only a moment's work, Ping'er carried the restored food box and placed it on the table, saying, "The grapes are here, Miss, please use them." ”
"Well, stand down."
"No."
When Ping'er stepped out of the bedroom, she lifted the lid and enjoyed the grapes. At this moment, Xiao Qiao can only eat these bunches of grapes.
At the beginning of the hour, Zhou An, who had been chasing for half an hour, finally caught up with Zhou Yu in the eastern suburbs of Anhui County. Compared with the early morning, the temperature at this moment has risen a lot, Zhou Yu felt warm, so he took off his cloak, handed it to Zhou An, and said, "Good life is collected." ”
Zhou An took the cloak, looked at it for a while, and said, "Childe, where did this cloak come from, why has the old slave never seen it?" ”
"I was in a hurry to go out, I forgot to bring my clothes, and yesterday evening I felt that it was cold, so I bought one to protect against the cold."
"I'll see."
Zhou Jue snatched the cloak and looked up and down.
She saw that the size of the cloak was too small and it exuded fragrance, and she immediately guessed the owner of the cloak. She tugged at her cloak, stared at Zhou Yu, and said, "This is the woman's, right?" ”
"Give it to me."
He stretched out his palm and asked Zhou Jue for it.
"Isn't it?"
Zhou Jue still held on to his cloak.
Zhou Yu replied, "Since you already know, why do you bother to ask me", and continued to stretch out his hand and said, "Give it to me." ”
"No."
Zhou Jue clutched the cloak tightly.
"Jue'er, Hugh is messing around!"
"I'm just messing around, what can you do!"
"If you mess around again, don't blame your cousin for being polite!"
"You still dare to beat me!"
"You!"
"What the hell am I!"
At this stalemate, Zhou Yu suddenly changed his tone and said, "Cousin doesn't dare to beat you." ”
"That's pretty much it."
When Zhou Jue heard this, he relaxed his vigilance.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yu stretched out his foot and touched Piao'er, and it ran towards Zhou Jue like an arrow from a string.
Before they were about to collide, Piao'er immediately tilted to the right and avoided Zhou Jue.
When they passed by, they saw Zhou Yu snatching the cloak from Zhou Jue's hand with lightning speed.
"Put it away."
He folded the cloak and handed it to Zhou An.
Zhou Jue was frightened, so he froze in place, motionless.
After Zhou An put away his cloak, Zhou Yu reminded loudly: "Do what you want to do in place, go on the road!" ”
In the evening, after a day of traveling, they finally returned to their home in Shu County. The first thing Zhou Jue did was to take his cousin to see his father.
At this moment, Zhou Shang is in his room, holding a history book to study.
Looking at the cousin with a solemn face, Zhou Yu couldn't help but kneel down and said, "Nephew to see cousin." ”
Zhou Shang glanced at him and said, "Wouldn't it be nice for you to come back and stay in Gentle Township." ”
Zhou Yu didn't answer, he just diverted the topic and said, "I am fortunate to have my uncle take care of things at home." Yuan Shu and his entourage, can it be stable now? ”
Zhou Shang replied, "It's very stable", and then led the topic back: "The virtuous nephew still knows that Yuan Shu is here, yes, I thought you only had beauties in your eyes!" ”
Uncle Cousin laughed. Zhou Yu bowed his head and said.
"Humph!"
Zhou Shang threw down the book and said angrily: "I'm laughing!" If Jue'er hadn't gone looking for you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to come back now! ”
"What my uncle taught me was that my nephew confessed his mistakes."
Zhou Shang saw that his nephew had already admitted his mistake, so he slowed down his speech and said seriously: "Your parents are dead, and you are young, according to the convention, I should have taken care of the family affairs for you until you are weak." Why am I leaving you alone these days? It's not because you know how to deny yourself and have a steadiness beyond your years. But what are you doing now? Yuan Shu is a prince, with more than 100,000 heavy soldiers, he came this time with the idea of 'not for my use, will be destroyed by me', to visit our Zhou family. If you leave him alone, you are putting your own life and death at risk, and the survival of the Zhou family is content with the destiny of heaven, and your purpose in doing this is just to meet the woman privately. You're confused, you're confused! ”
"My nephew was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again." Zhou Yu said, "Uncle Tang is angry, take care of your body. ”
"Poor ......"
Zhou Shang took a deep breath and said, "Now that you have admitted your mistakes, you should repent." The cause of this incident is all to blame on the Qiao family in Anhui County, if you promise not to take care of the Qiao family anymore, your cousin will forgive you. ”
Zhou Yu didn't want to live up to the fate given by God, and he didn't want to use deception to get a moment of peace, so he said: "I can't agree. ”
"What do you say! You repeat! ”
Zhou Shang was so angry that he gritted his back molars.
"This incident is because I didn't think about it well, and I will pay attention to it in the future. At present, we must not mess up our positions and cause trouble. ”
Zhou Shang muttered, "I almost missed a big thing", and discussed with Zhou Yu: "Tomorrow is the third day, are you willing to serve Yuan Shu?" How are you going to reply to him? ”
"Yuan Shu is stupid and incompetent, so his nephew will naturally not serve him." Zhou Yu said, "As for how to reply to him, I hope Uncle Tang will give me some advice." ”
"Ugh."
Zhou Shang hesitated for a moment, and gave sixteen words: "Give benefits, promise promises, retreat as advances, and worry as support." ”
"Wonderful!" Zhou Yu said.
At noon the next day, Zhou Shang held a banquet to entertain Yuan Shu as the head of the Zhou family, in addition to Zhou Yu as a companion, there were also Zhou Jue, Yang Hong, and Sun Ce.
At the beginning of the banquet, Yang Hong turned against the guest and said: "Zhou Gongzi, when my lord first arrived in your mansion, you disappeared that night, and you didn't show up until this moment, depending on your attitude, don't you want to be friends with my lord?" ”
"Zhou Gongzi, you shouldn't mean to belittle Yuan!" Yuan Shu echoed.
"I would never dare to think like this." Zhou Yu argued, "The general is a prince, his status is extremely honorable, and he is just a gentleman in the next, and he can talk to the general by virtue of his family capital, and if he wants to entertain the general, he is not qualified in the next." Besides, when I am young, I can talk about uncles and nephews with the general, and I entertain the general, wouldn't it confuse the seniority and snub the general. Therefore, I specially invited the elders of the family to take charge of the family to show my supreme respect for the general. ”
"Hehehe......"
These flattering words coaxed Yuan Shu to laugh and said, "Zhou Xian's nephew is serious. ”
"If you stay at home, how can you be missing?"
Although Yuan Shu laughed at the matter, Yang Hong did not relent.
"This ......"
Zhou Yu snorted.
Seeing this, Zhou Shang pretended to scold him, "You kid, you are faint", and then argued with Yuan Shu: "General Yuan laughed, the two days he disappeared, he was a private woman. ”
As the saying goes: "Gentle township is the hero's mound", Yuan Shu only appreciated Zhou Yu's music and rhythm, and was not optimistic about his military and political talents, hearing Zhou Shang's words, Yuan Shu affirmed his original opinion. He quietly glanced at Yang Hong and said, "I don't want Gongzi Zhou to have such a rhyme." ”
In comparison, Yang Hong's feelings at the moment are much more complicated: on the one hand, in his cognition, it must be difficult to become a great weapon driven by love; But in his deep consciousness, he still feels that Zhou Yu is not a person who is obsessed with beauty. He asked, "What happened three days ago, has Childe thought it through?" ”
"It's already clear." Zhou Yu said, "General Yuan is the dragon and phoenix among people, and it is really Zhou Yu's luck to be able to saddle the horse for General Yuan." It's a pity that Yu is now in the Ding Worry period, if he follows General Yuan, he may violate the custom. ”
"In turbulent years, everything is simple, and worries can be avoided." Yang Hong said, "Besides, looking for a beautiful woman during Ding Wei is also a violation of etiquette. If Childe violates one article, why is he afraid of violating another one? ”
Zhou Yu seemed to have been prepared for this question, and he said unhurriedly: "During the Ding worry, people will inevitably make mistakes, and Yu is afraid of colliding with General Yuan's luck. ”
Yang Hong pointed at Sun Ce and said, "General Sun Xiao is also during the Ding Worry, why don't you see him colliding with the lord's fortune?" ”
"The Bofu family is the grandson, the descendant of the saint, and it is blessed by the gods."
Before Yang Hong could continue to make trouble, Zhou Yu gave Yuan Shu a rebuke: "Two years later, Ding Wei's period will expire, and he will be the saddle before and after the saddle for the general." ”
"This ......"
Just when Yuan Shu was hesitating, Zhou Yu suddenly clapped his hands twice and said, "Submit it." Then he saw a servant, carrying a long and narrow wooden box, walked to Yuan Shu's seat, and placed the wooden box on the dining table. When the wooden box was slowly opened, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the contents of the box, he touched the contents of the box, and said, "This is for me?" ”
"This is a show of sincerity." Zhou Yu said.
Everyone looked over and found that the contents of the box were a different kind of piano. The biggest difference about this instrument is its appearance. The ancient book records, "Fuxi's piano is one string, Yu Shun is changed to five strings, King Wen and King Wu are changed to seven strings, and Queen Wu, the number of strings is fixed." "The number of strings on this piano is a custom-made seven strings, but there is nothing special about it. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that at the end of the body, there is a trace of being burned by fire. This qin is the famous Jiaowei qin, and its maker is Cai Yong, the father of Cai Wenji.
It is rumored that one day, Cai Yong passed through Wu County and saw a porter lighting a fire to boil water. From the smell of the wood, Cai Yong could distinguish the fragrance of the finest sycamore. He didn't want to destroy the heavens, so he rushed forward, pulled out the paulownia wood, and extinguished the flames. Although the fire was extinguished, the tail end of this paulownia wood left an indelible scorched black trace. He was reluctant to accept this piece of high-quality paulownia wood, so he said: "This piece of wood, I like it very much, Mr. make a price." The porter was simple, so he gave the paulownia to Cai Yong. Cai Yong thanked the porter, then returned home, according to the shape and size of the paulownia wood, carefully made it into a piano. High-quality paulownia wood, unique skills - after the paulownia wood is made into a piano, the sound is really extraordinary. Because there are still traces of burning at the end of the piano, this piano was named "Jiaowei Qin" by Cai Yong.
The Zhou family and the Cai family have always had dealings. When Cai Yong was frustrated, the Zhou family once helped him. He was grateful for his friendship, but he didn't want to secretly invest in Mingzhu, so he gave this Jiaowei qin to Zhou Yu, who was proficient in music.
"Zhou Gongzi is really polite. Such a valuable thing, Yuan Mou must not be in vain. ”
"If the general doesn't accept it, it will be two years later, and he won't want to use me Zhou Yu."
"This ......"
"If the general doesn't want to go, I will call the general uncle, and the general will recognize my nephew, this qin, and it will be regarded as a nephew's filial piety to his uncle."
At this point, Yang Hong couldn't help but "cough" twice, signaling Yuan Shu not to move. But Yuan Shu said: "In this case, Yuan accepted it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yu got up and knelt down and said, "Nephew Zhou Yu, meet your uncle." ”
"Virtuous nephew, get up quickly, don't be polite, I'll just recognize you as a nephew."
As he spoke, Yuan Shu put away the Jiaowei Qin.
"Congratulations to the general on his good nephew."
Compared with everyone's congratulatory messages, Yang Hong sighed alone.
