Chapter 38: A Break in the Garden
It's already March, and the cold of the winter has been swept away, and those who have survived the harsh winter are naturally smiling again, and as for the poor people who have not been in the past, naturally they have no chance to tell their misfortunes again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but all this has nothing to do with Han Yan, every day is fixed in the Han Mansion, rarely go out to hang out, in addition to reading is to accompany Cai Yan and the two sisters to visit the garden, but sometimes Cao Cao will also bring wine to join in the fun, and find Han Yan to drink two glasses.
And the garden in the Han Mansion is also going to the old and welcoming the new, and new flowers are blooming, but Han Yan still can't recognize what kind of flowers these flowers are. And Cai Yao also likes to come to the garden in the Han Mansion more and more to play, and every time she has to take Han Yan to hang out together. Fortunately, every time Cai Yao comes, it is in the afternoon, which will not affect Han Yan's reading in the morning, but whether Cai Yao likes to go to the garden or find Han Yan, whether she is used to going out in the afternoon or knows Han Yan's arrangement and deliberately does so, everything is only known to Cai Yao alone.
On the third day of the third month of March, in the Han Mansion, Cai Yao and Cai Yan were playing among the flowers, while Han Yan was chatting with Cao Cao in the pavilion.
"Hey! Yao'er, slow down! Don't fall! Han Yan shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but remind this reckless little girl, when he turned around, he saw Cao Cao's hand holding the wine jug withdrawn, and his wine bottle was full again, "Brother!" You're like that again! Didn't you say you wouldn't drink too much! ”
Looking at Cao Cao, who was full of indifference, Han Yan couldn't say it anymore, this brother is good anywhere, he just likes wine too much, so he came to him to drink some if he had nothing to do. Although these wines are nothing to Han Yan, even if they are drunk ten times at one time, they will not get drunk, but they don't like to drink after all, so Han Yan told Cao Cao every time that he was okay until the end, but Cao Cao never came and did not keep his promise.
"Hey! Virtuous brother! How can you say that? This person is in the world, and he can't do without the word eating and drinking, and he doesn't even drink wine, what is the meaning of this day? ”
Cao Cao didn't care about Han Yan's complaints, and slowly picked up his wine bottle and sipped it one by one.
"Really! I don't have as many social things as my brother and you, I usually drink a little bit of it, every day like this, brother, what do you want to do! Is it possible that you still want to go back and be scolded by your sister-in-law? ”
I really couldn't help it, Han Yan complained in a low voice.
Although Cao Cao is now resigning and returning home, his family members have brought him, including his wife Ding and his only son Cao Ang, who is only eight years old. Usually, Cao Cao doesn't come to Han Yan, he will go out to find someone else to drink and have fun, often he is drunk and sent home, and then he gets up the next day and is taught by his wife, should he drink or drink in the afternoon, and so on.
"Oops! Virtuous brother! Don't mention this kind of unpleasant thing when you drink! ”
As soon as he heard the name of his wife, Cao Cao's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, this fearful thing was done, but he couldn't say it. What's more, he and his wife can't be said to be 'fear', but more 'love'.
"Don't let me mention the matter of spoiling the fun, brother, don't fill it up for me!"
Han Yan pursed his lips and didn't say anything to Cao Cao's words, but picked up the wine bottle behind him, raised his head and drank it all.
"Brother Xian, good drink!" Seeing that Han Yan drank the wine in one gulp, Cao Cao shouted hello, and then lifted the wine jug to fill it for Han Yan, "Brother Xian!" You don't know! For my brother, what can I do now but drink for fun? Drunk and drunk and stealing! ”
In a sigh, Cao Cao filled Han Yan's wine bottle again, and Han Yan did not stop Cao Cao's actions.
"Brother, you are really! Now that you're idle, why did you quit your job earlier and go into hiding? If you hadn't done that, wouldn't you be the Taishou of Dongjun now! When the time comes, for the benefit of the people, the Son of Heaven will be loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Protector of the Society, do you still need to drink every day like this? ”
Han Yan really didn't understand Cao Cao's resignation, he was already about to be promoted to a councilor, why did he suddenly resign?
Seeing Han Yan mention his resignation, Cao Cao's face changed a few times, and then he sighed, "Brother Xian! You don't know what is going on in officialdom if you're not in it! What Dongjun is too guarded, it's just a bright rise and a dark fall! For his brother to take office in Jinan, which one is not for the sake of the Han Dynasty? But some people can't stand it! ”
As he spoke, Cao Cao picked up the flask and drank it in a big gulp.
"Brother, what do you mean by that? Why did the Taishou of a county rise and fall secretly? Even if you don't think the place is good, you won't quit! Why can't anyone watch it? ”
Han Yan didn't know much about the things in the officialdom, so he didn't quite understand the meaning of Cao Cao's words.
"Virtuous brother! Being an official is such a thing, you think about it for the sake of being today, thinking about the country, thinking about the people, these are fine, but once you really do it and have merits, you will naturally offend some people. Not to mention, you're going to get in the way of some people's business when you're doing things! ”
Speaking of things in the officialdom, Cao Cao was also very irritable, so he shut up after saying a few words, and refused to continue.
“…… I don't know about officialdom and I don't want to know. Whether this official is for the Son of Heaven or for fame and fortune, I don't think these are important. As long as you are worthy of yourself during your tenure, what does it matter if you protect the territory and the people or loot the people's fat? ”
Han Yan comforted Cao Cao, but the rest of the words were not spoken. 'What does it matter if it is to protect the territory and the people or to loot the people's fingers?' Anyway, it's all your own doing, and when the time comes, the retribution will be on you, and it's not like the sky has no eyes'.
"Brother Xian, what are you talking about!" Cao Cao, who was still a little annoyed, immediately became angry when he heard Han Yan's words, stood up and looked down at Han Yan, and said loudly: "The so-called 'serving as an official for one term and benefiting one party', how can you come from your own temperament?" The people I offended in Jinan were also for the sake of the people of Li and the Han Dynasty, worthy of His Majesty the heavens, and worthy of their official seals! Being an official is not as good as being comfortable in your heart! ”
"Then why did my brother resign?"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Han Yan picked up the wine jug, carefully filled it for Cao Cao, and then said softly.
"This ......"
After the call, Han Yan came to such a sentence, which caught Cao Cao off guard.
