When Liu Bei entered the door, he was smiling, this kind of sincerity with a strong and loyal expression, Yuan Yun has always been very envious, so when he was alone, he secretly practiced in front of the bronze mirror a few times, and every time he felt that he was smiling like this, it was a treacherous face, it was really strange, obviously he looked much more like than Liu Bei.

In addition to Guan Yu, there was also Jian Yong, who had not been seen for a long time, and the other two strangers were Liu Bei's die-hard fans, Mi Zhu and Sun Qian.

After everyone greeted each other, they came to the reception hall in the front yard, and then the guests and hosts sat down, and Yuan Yuncai arched his hand and said: "You Ming Gong is here, Yuan's mansion is shining, and Benhou is overjoyed." ”

Liu Bei sat in the first seat on the left, and said with a smile: "My third brother often comes to bother, but he always comes empty-handed, so when he came over today, he brought some gifts, and I just hope that Yuan Hou will not refuse." ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, the two subordinates had already carried a box into the hall.

Yuan Yun was stunned, but he was curious in his heart, Liu Bei has always led Yulu to live in Xudu, where did he get the treasure to give to him?

Seeing that the subordinate opened the box, Yuan Yun immediately laughed, it turned out that they were all bamboo slips and lacquerware, it seemed that these were Liu Bei's private collections.

In this comparison, Yuan Yun felt that he was really a vulgar businessman, and when he saw such a large box, the first thing that came to mind was gold and silver.

Soon, the two subordinates brought by Liu Bei had already placed the gifts in front of Yuan Yun.

Yuan Yun is not very curious about lacquerware, this kind of black-on-red and red-edged utensils are very exquisitely made, and it is indeed a rare treasure in this era, as for those few rolls of bamboo slips, this is a little strange, do you think you are a great talent when you send books to yourself?

Thinking of this, there was a wry smile in my heart, isn't it, the second sister Qiaoya was messing around when she was fighting in the flower boat, and she gave herself the name of a great talent in Xudu, Liu Bei probably thought that he was a person who loved to read, but it was a pity.

opened a bamboo slip at random, Yuan Yun was suddenly shocked, only to see that the beginning was three words "Five Thousand Words", looking at the newness of this bamboo slip, it is definitely an antiquity, this will not be the original of the "Tao Te Ching", right?

Yuan Yun happily flipped through several volumes, only to find that it was only thirty-seven chapters, and he stopped abruptly, and suddenly had some doubts.

Liu Bei saw Yuan Yun's expression, so he explained with a smile: "This is a book left over from the Warring States Period, but Bei also only got the last part of the "Book of Virtues", as for where the next "Book of Virtues" is, I really don't know, I hope Yuan Hou will not be surprised." ”

Liu Bei didn't say whether this was the real book or not, but Yuan Yun knew from his expression that nine times out of ten it was true, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to give someone a fake.

"This is too precious, Uncle Huang is so loving, Ben Hou always feels that he is winning people's love." Yuan Yun said this, but he didn't have much intention of returning it in his heart, this thing can be used as a family heirloom, if the descendants of the Yuan family can store this thing for 1,800 years, ho, then they will be billionaires in the future.

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "I have heard that Yuan Hou is a disciple of the immortal Zuo Ci, this "Five Thousand Words" is the starting classic of Taoism, and now it is also considered to be returned to the original owner, which is gratifying, Yuan Hou must accept it." ”

Yuan Yun no longer shirked, and hurriedly ordered the left and right to wrap it in the best brocade, and his heart was full of joy, this cheap Lao Tzu is big, "Tao Te Ching", this kind of thing is simply a treasure that can not be found, even if it is placed in the town house at home, it is also a first-class treasure.

Guan Yu saw that his eldest brother had finished talking about the gift, so he looked around suspiciously, and then asked, "Yuan Hou, the third brother has already come to Yuan's mansion before, I don't know where it is now?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and pointed behind him, and said, "I'm still sleeping in my study, I guess he will be able to show up when it's time for dinner, General Zhang's stomach is very punctual, and he promises not to be late." ”

Yuan Yun said it so funny, and immediately everyone present laughed, and the anger immediately became a little more harmonious.

Jian Yong was still lazy, and when facing Yuan Yun, the marquis, he was also average, so he quickly stretched out his legs under the table, and then said: "I have always heard that there are comfortable tables and chairs in the Yuan Mansion, why do we have to kneel so hard?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Jian Yong angrily, he really didn't know what to do with this small hair, no matter how to say it here, it was also the Marquis's Mansion, and Yuan Yun was a genuine Marquis, how could he be so rude?

Liu Bei was about to count Jian Yong, but saw Yuan Yun stand up, and then said with a smile: "There is no geothermal heat in this front yard, it is indeed a little cold, why don't we go to the backyard study to drink tea and continue to chat." ”

Jian Yong was overjoyed, and was the first to stand up, only embarrassing Sun Qian beside him.

When Zhang Fei woke up, he suddenly found that there were many more people, all chatting and laughing in the outer hall of the study.

When he walked to the outer hall, everyone smiled at him, but Guan Yu was more serious, frowned, and felt that his third brother was really lacking in etiquette, and he was so full of food and drink in other people's houses that he was very unsightly.

When Zhang Fei saw that the eldest brother and the second brother were here, he was overjoyed, patted his stomach and smiled: "The eldest brother and the second brother came just in time, this is time to eat, right?" I'm so hungry. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, only Zhang Fei felt very inexplicable.

Yuan Yun felt that his scalp was numb, what was Zhang Fei's stomach made of? In the afternoon, he had been eating steamed buns and spirits, and there was still more than half an hour before dinner, and he was hungry again.

Guan Yu finally couldn't help it, so he patted the position next to him and said, "Third brother Hugh is going to talk nonsense, hurry up and sit down." ”

Zhang Fei laughed twice, and then sat next to Guan Yu, and then continued: "The round table in Yuan's Mansion is very interesting, everyone sits and doesn't distinguish who is big and who is small, who respects and who is cheap, it is the most fair, but it is not like going to those noble old officials in the court, Zhang Yide, a dignified Yanren, sometimes has to guard outside the door, his grandmother's." ”

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, Yuan Hou is approachable and doesn't care about you, but this identity and status still have to be correct, how can you do it?" Guan Yu has always been proud, and he generally doesn't value what is inferior to himself, so he is very uncomfortable sitting at this kind of round table at the moment.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and saw that his two brothers were finished nagging, and then he arched his hand to Yuan Yun and said: "Yuan Hou is not strange, I lack discipline on weekdays, which is why Yide is so lawless." ”

Yuan Yun said in his heart that this is good, he hates the nobles the most, Zhang Fei is more likable in this way, even if he is many years older than himself, but the two of them have been in contact these days, there is no such thing as the old and the young being inferior at all, and they are very harmonious, occasionally bickering, chatting about other people's gossip, it is really very enjoyable.

But forget about Liu Bei in front of him, this person looks honest, and he must be more important than anything else about etiquette or something.

If it weren't for the fact that the study had been replaced with a large round table, it was really inconvenient to move, otherwise he would definitely order people to quickly arrange them in two rows on the left and right, lest people like Guan Yu have always had a very resistant look, as if Lao Tzu was abusing them.

Liu Bei is most interested in Yuan Yun's study is geothermal heat, which has just turned snow at the moment, and the temperature is the most freezing, but sitting in this room is a little stuffy, and he even feels that he is wearing a lot of clothes.

This kind of thing doesn't need to be guessed, it must be from Yuan Yun's incomparably smart brain, it's a pity that such a talent is not used for himself, but recently Cao Cao actually married his daughter to Yuan Yun, and the intention of this is very obvious.

However, this kind of political marriage has also been seen a lot, and it is not impossible to break Yuan Yun's dependence on Cao Cao and win him over, as for beauties or something, as long as Yuan Yun agrees to follow him, then what is it to give him a thousand?

Yuan Yun saw that Liu Bei had been touching the floor for a long time without speaking, thinking that he must be very interested, so he explained with a smile, but when it came to the setting of the boiler room, it was obvious that everyone present knew nothing about it, but Zhang Fei knew best, because he had already figured out the back house of Yuan's mansion, and he didn't know how many times he had been to the boiler room?

Liu Bei heard the professional terms in Yuan Yun, as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and finally it was under Zhang Fei's introduction that everyone understood the structure of this geothermal energy, and suddenly everyone felt that it was just some simple settings, why couldn't they think of it?

"Yuan Hou is really a very smart person, and the method is very simple, but if Yuan Hou thinks about it, he will immediately become a treasure in this winter, and he will be admired." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he took a sip of tea instead of wine.

Yuan Yun shook his hand and smiled: "If the place where Uncle Huang lives now is spacious enough, I can ask the craftsmen to go to you to build another set, and you will be more comfortable to live in the future." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun said in his heart, this is as a return gift for you to give me a copy of the Tao Te Ching, although it takes advantage of you, but the value of it depends on who thinks about it?

At this moment, although Liu Bei feels that the "Tao Te Ching" is also very precious, it is somewhat incomparable with the cost of a complete set of geothermal energy, after all, this is to demolish the house and rebuild, it will definitely cost a lot of money.

Arching his hand slightly, Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Giving "Five Thousand Words" to Yuan Hou is just to pay for a meal for my third brother, and Yuan Hou has probably seen his appetite, if it weren't for Yuan's wealth, he would definitely be poor by him." ”

After Liu Bei finished half-jokingly, there was immediately a sound of laughter in the room.

Only Zhang Fei pursed his lips a little angrily, but in an instant, he saw that the sky was gradually darkening, which meant that dinner was coming soon, and he immediately didn't care about the jokes of the eldest brother.

Yuan Yun looked at Zhang Fei looking at the sky outside the window, his face was full of anticipation, and he almost drooled, so he clapped his hands and said, "Since General Zhang Fei is hungry, we might as well have an early meal today, and then talk slowly during the banquet, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Fei immediately jumped up and replied loudly: "Very good, very good, don't hesitate, you missed the meal of the Yuan Mansion, you will regret it for the rest of your life, come and come, Yuan Hou hurriedly called someone to send wine and food, haha." ”

When Zhang Fei was proud, Liu Bei smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, we can enjoy tea and chat at the moment, don't be disturbed by my third brother." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and did the right thing, but he said in his heart, and look at how Liu Bei is going to convince himself, this kind of surrender that has only been seen in books and games in the past is really very curious.

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei was quiet, so he smiled and said: "I heard that Yuan Hou subdued thousands of bandits in Xincheng, although I was reminded of this before, I finally felt that something was wrong, so today is a special peace, Yuan Hou and General Cao Ren are both Cao Sikong's subordinates, and it is not a way to make trouble like this." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, and when he turned around, Liu Bei didn't come to surrender himself, but to be a peacemaker, this person is really strange, does he really plan to live in Xudu permanently?

Liu Bei saw that Yuan Yun didn't answer, so he continued: "Yuan Hou and Bei can both accept that they are sojourners, how can they consider one or two for their masters to be loyal, Cao Ren is Cao Sikong's younger brother, why don't Yuan Hou take a step back first, I believe that after General Cao Ren knows, he will inevitably take a step back, so that everyone will get along better?" ”

Yuan Yun's heart was full of greetings, but since Liu Bei said so, and he didn't plan to go to Cao Ren again, then he would take advantage of the situation to push the boat, so he nodded and said: "What Uncle Huang said is that since this is the case, Benhou will naturally not provoke General Cao Ren again, and it is best for everyone to be safe, hehe." ”

"Good!" Liu Bei seemed to be really happy, as if he had picked up a treasure.

Zhang Fei finished talking about business at this time, so he reminded again: "Big brother, since Yuan Hou has agreed, this matter is easy to say, go back and explain it to Cao Ren, it is estimated that this misunderstanding will be over, why don't we have dinner now, isn't it also a conversation at the dinner table?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and shouted outside the door, but unexpectedly found that it was not Zhang Xiang, who managed the affairs of the family, but Shi Shen.

After Shi Shen entered the door, he looked like he wanted to say something, but his face was full of anxiety.

Yuan Yun frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it, they are all friends here, and there is nothing to hide." ”

Shi Shen immediately hugged his fists and said, "Lord, something happened to Miss Liu Yiyi!" ”
