Chapter 70 Warbler Yanyan
The stars have changed, the sun and the moon have risen, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye. In a few days, under Chu Fei's strong suggestion, Zhu Jun ordered people to find out all the corpses inside and outside Xihua City, and gathered them in one place for cremation. In particular, the hidden fire outside the south gate burned the most intensely and dazzlingly.
Looking at the dilapidated and uninhabited Xihua City, Chu Fei and Guo Jia discussed that they wanted to move all the displaced people from Dongshan to this Xihua City, after all, Xihua has always had fertile water and soil and convenient transportation, and now there are countless houses in this city and 10,000 acres of fertile land outside the city, but the conditions are much better than those in Dongshan.
However, Guo Jia is not very optimistic about this suggestion, after all, these tens of thousands of displaced people are now living in Dongshan, on the surface, it seems that they are resettled for the government, but in fact, the Chu family manages their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and allows them to have fields to plant in Dongshan, and these displaced people are already regarded as the Chu family's own farmers rather than the imperial court.
Now that these displaced people have moved to Xihua, they may be grateful for Chu Fei's goodness, but after having a house and pastoral that truly belongs to them, the gratitude to Chu Fei will slowly disappear with the passage of time. Besides, after arriving in Xihua City, these homeless people will have to obey the control of Xihua Ling, not the Chu family. Now that the troubled times are coming, people, horses, money and food are indispensable, unless one day Chu Fei has the absolute right to speak in this land, it is really not suitable to move those displaced people in Dongshan to other places.
After dispelling the idea of resettle the displaced people, Chu Fei had already planned to return to Yangzhai in the army, after all, he was nominally the teacher's army; This trip to Xihua has also helped, and the merit has also been established, so there is no need to wait for the commendation documents issued by the imperial court, because their commendation documents should still be issued to the Huangpu Song army.
It's just that it backfired, and Chu Fei, who planned to turn back to Yang Zhai, was dragged by his eldest brother and second brother to go straight to Runan County. Cao Cao said that there was a literary meeting for poetry and painting reviews, and he wanted Chu Fei to show his style. Chu Fei was naturally willing to do something that was originally famous, and reputation was too important in this Eastern Han Dynasty. It not only helps to be promoted, but also attracts people with lofty ideals to vote.
But when he heard that it was this kind of poetry club where others commented on it at the end, Chu Fei really couldn't arouse his interest. Cao Zhi's poetry is powerful enough, right? It has been praised for thousands of years, but when he was alive, he was bullied by his brother miserably. Now that the development of troubled times is the last word, it is not too late to wait until the future is settled.
Besides, although the war here has ended, the yellow turbans in other states and counties are still raging; The teacher had already sent someone to deliver the letter, saying that he would wait for the reward from the imperial court, and maybe he would be transferred elsewhere to quell the rebellion, so that he could go back as soon as possible. Now that he was being coerced by Cao Cao and Sun Ce to run to Runan County, Chu Fei was really helpless, so he had to let Huang Zhong take the troops back to Yangzhai first, and rush back with Guo Jia after he went to Runan County.
Coming to Xu's mansion on this trip, looking at the people in the hall full of bright clothes and oily faces, Chu Fei was really a little disappointed.
Originally, they were all reluctant to come, and they thought that it would be comforting to see one or two talented women from the Eastern Han Dynasty. But look at this well-dressed man, where are there any talented women participating. It's good to arrange one or two dancing girls to help out the fun, and I've been fighting for so many days, so it's okay to relax now that I'm here; I don't know if this master is not close to women, or why there is not even a dancing girl. In fact, this is nothing, the most hateful thing is that there is not even a maid who serves tea and pours wine, all of them are small families, this Xu family is really enough to pick the door, is it for fear that others will rob him of a woman? It's okay to arrange two maids to be amused, but the whole group of big men is really boring.
"Come, come, drink, drink." Since there was no talented girl, no dancing girl, and no maid, Chu Fei had no choice but to pull Sun Jian and Guo Jia to drink stuffy wine.
"Come, third brother, do it. Big brother, come on, come on, drink. Sun Jian said with a red face.
Seeing that Chu Fei was complaining about himself all the way, and now that he has arrived in this Xu Mansion, he is even more resentful, and he has been pulling his second brother and Guo Jia to drink non-stop, Cao Cao can't help but feel anxious. Originally, he received a letter from Qiao Gong, saying that today's poetry club in Xufu was about to start, and he specially sent an invitation to himself, so that he could get a good reputation in this Xu Gong's mouth, so as to lay a good foundation for future promotion. I kindly brought my second brother and third brother here, and I also wanted them to try their luck, who would have thought that these two people would not listen to their own persuasion and only care about drinking. With such a trace, Xu Shao, who has always been self-assured, is not a two-person person, so what if he gives another bad evaluation. Alas.
"Second brother and third brother, today's tasting meeting is very important, you should drink less, so as not to miss a major event." Cao Cao said worriedly.
"Reciting poetry is a big deal. Hehe, hiccups. Besides, with the talents of the eldest brother and the third brother, even if you drink ten catties of fine wine, these people in front of you are not the opponents of the two of you. I forget it, I can't make good poetry without drinking, hahahaha. Come, drink, third brother. Sun Jian said while burping, shaking his head.
I'm afraid he's already drunk.
The other people who were greeting each other looked at each other angrily when they heard Sun Jian say so wildly. Okay, you four boys who don't know the height of the sky, I will definitely want you to look good later. In the hearts of everyone in the hall, they are secretly ruthless.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Sun Jian say such wild words. Looking at the unkind eyes of the four of them again, he secretly screamed that it was broken, and these people would definitely make things difficult for us everywhere later.
Chu Fei, who was drinking stuffy wine, couldn't help but light up when he saw a middle-aged man with fairy wind and bones walking in outside the pavilion. This look is good, it seems that this poetry club is still a little interesting. Chu Fei pondered, only to see that everyone got up one after another and saluted and shouted Xu Gong.
When he saw that everyone was standing up, he was embarrassed to sit down, so he also got up and arched his hand. After all, I am not a three-year-old child, and I still have to have at least respect for others. Suddenly I thought that when I used to read books, the pig's feet in the book pretended to be disrespectful to people for no reason.
I saw that the middle-aged man known as Xu Gong came to the throne to offer his hand and said: "Thank you for coming to the Humble House and participating in the monthly monthly review, Shao is polite." ”
"Yuedan Review"
The thunderous four words exploded in Chu Fei's mind, could it be Xu Shao on the stage? Yes, this is Xu Zhai, plus the eldest brother is here, this person must be Xu Shao. Such an important Yuedan review, the eldest brother actually said that it was a poetry appraisal meeting, oops, I almost missed a big event. If you say anything today, you have to find an opportunity to perform, so that Xu Shao can give a good evaluation.
"I've seen Xu Gong." Everyone saluted Xu Shao on the throne.
"Everyone, please sit down, today is still the same as before, the beginning of the poems and songs, the end of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the final evaluation, how about it?" Xu Shao sat upright in everyone, stroked his beard and smiled.
"Listen to Xu Gong's arrangement." And they all drank in unison.
This Xu Shao is really very famous, even the eldest brother, who has always been debauched and free, has always been cautious and respectful today, Chu Fei thought to himself.
"Okay, then this month's Yuedan evaluation has officially begun, and Yingying Yanyan Cuicui Honghong will be on the exam questions." Xu Shao put away his smile, clapped his hands and said.
