Chapter 66: A bunch of trivia
It has been two full years since Han Yan and Cai Yan got married. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past two years, the two have not been able to see each other often because of their relationship, according to Han Shuo, this is called 'avoiding suspicion', as for what suspicion to avoid, Han Yan didn't ask, and he didn't bother to ask. However, it was the side door that Han Mansion and Cai Mansion only saw, so that Han Shuo and Cai Yong arranged for the two of them to block it, and indirectly blocked the road for Cai Yao, a little troublemaker, to find trouble with Han Yan.
Han Yan usually reads and writes with Han Shuo, and drinks with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others in his spare time, in contrast, Yuan Shao is much more bold than Cao Cao, and has more time to interact with Han Yan. As for Cao Cao, except for a few times when he went to Yuan Shao's banquet with Han Yan, he spent most of his time at home, not knowing what to do.
Although it is said that Han Yan's surroundings are calm, but outside Luoyang, it is lively, and the Han River, which has just pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, has regained smoke. First of all, in the third year of Zhongping, Jiangxia soldier Zhao Ci launched a riot, and then Wuling rebelled, followed by the internal mutiny of Qianghu in Xiliang, Han Sui, a native of Jincheng in Liangzhou, killed Xin'an Lingbian Zhang, Qianghu leader Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, gathered the remnants of the three of them and defeated more than ten people out of Jincheng and attacked Longxi. Longxi Taishou Li Xiangru rebelled and joined Han Sui. Soon after, the Xianbei rebelled and invaded Youzhou and the two states.
In the fourth year of Zhongping, Han Sui had more than 100,000 troops according to Longxi. Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng contempt led the army to attack Han Sui, and the army was defeated and died. Sima Ma Teng of Liangzhou and Han Sui fornicated, pushed the kingdom as the mainstay, and attacked Sanfu. Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wen summoned 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to rehabilitate, Zhongshan Minister Zhang Chun recommended himself as a general, was rejected, and then took Gongsun Zhan as a general, Zhang Chun held a grudge, and Taishan Taishou Zhang Ju, Wuhuan leader Qiu Liju rebelled, and killed the Wuhuan school captain Ji Chou, the right Beiping Taishou Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yang Zhong and others.
When Han Yan and Yuan Shao and others were having a banquet, they often heard them sigh that the court did not know people, and they could not be reused, and over time, they didn't care much about outside things.
On the second day of the second month of February, Han Yan finished reading with Han Shuo in the morning, and was about to go out to chat with Xun Chen and others, but was stopped by Han Shuo.
"Yan'er."
Shouted lightly, Han said that there was obviously something to tell Han Yan.
Han Yan, who had already walked to the door of the study, heard Han Shuo's call, immediately stopped, turned around, and responded respectfully, "Here!" ”
"You're going to find your fox friends?"
Looking at Han Yan's increasingly mature face, Han Shuo frowned and asked with some displeasure.
“…… Be. ”
Han Yan wanted to argue, although Yuan Shao was a little dissolute, but as far as Chen Lin and others were concerned, even if they were not 'mentors and friends,' they couldn't be regarded as 'fox friends and dog friends', but Han Yan didn't argue, but chose a more trouble-free method.
"Ahem!" Han Shuo frowned, coughed heavily, obviously a little uncomfortable, gently rubbed his chest, then raised his head, and reprimanded sternly: "Yan'er, you kid, the biggest problem is to be submissive, never compete with others, like just now, at least you should argue a thing or two, but you didn't!" ”
"Yes."
Han Yan lowered his head, but he didn't want to discuss this issue with Han Yu.
"Alas!" Han Shuo sighed helplessly, obviously dissatisfied with Han Yan's character, "If you go on like this, you will always suffer a day in this world!" ”
"Yes."
seemed to have made up his mind not to answer what Han said, but Han Yan still responded, and then stopped talking.
"Alas! Never mind! Let's go! Han Shuo shook his head, as if he was going to give up preaching to Han Yan, but after finishing speaking, before Han Yan could say 'yes', Han Shuo remembered another thing, so he opened his mouth and added: "By the way, the Huang Zhong you brought back is not bad, if you usually have nothing to do, learn a little self-defense kung fu from him!" ”
"Yes!"
It stands to reason that Han Yan must have at least some surprise at this time, surprised by Han Shuo's understanding of the people around him, but he still responded respectfully, without any extra words.
"That's it! Go ahead! ”
Han Shuo waved his hand, as if he was chasing flies.
"Yes!"
Han Yan answered, then walked out the door backwards, and then turned to leave.
Looking at Han Yan's distant figure, Han Shuo sighed helplessly, "Alas! What a child! ”
Han Yan left the study, and didn't bother to go back to his courtyard to change clothes, and walked directly towards the gate of the Han Mansion, it was already the middle of the day, and Chen Lin and the others lived in the west of Nangong, and it would take a while to walk over.
"Huh? Virtuous brother! This is going out again? ”
At the gate, Cao Cao's figure appeared, apparently just coming up from under the steps and about to come in.
"Hmmm! Oh, yes! ”
Han Yan looked at Cao Cao, and his heart was mixed, this former 'brother' was now getting farther and farther away from him.
"Going to Benchu and them for a drink again?"
Cao Cao asked.
"yes!" Han Yan nodded, thought for a while, and asked rhetorically, "What, is my brother going too?" ”
"Haha! That's natural, such a good opportunity to drink, how can I, Cao Mengde, be absent? Let's go! Let's go! ”
Cao Cao laughed twice, seemed to be very happy, walked to Han Yan's side as he spoke, and stretched out his hand to grab Han Yan's wrist.
Han Yan stepped sideways, dodged Cao Cao's outstretched right hand, and said lightly: "Wasn't my brother absent from the previous banquets?" ”
"This ...... Ha ha! Isn't there something wrong with me......"
I don't know if it was because of Han Yan's rhetorical question, or because Han Yan avoided him, Cao Cao smiled very embarrassedly, and his words flickered.
"Oh, yes."
Seeing that Cao Cao was reluctant to say more, Han Yan didn't ask any more. The relationship between the two was not as good as it used to be, and Han Yan naturally had no need to cater to each other.
"Hmmm! Let's go! ”
Knowing that there were some things that could not be explained, Cao Cao gave up the idea of continuing to explain to Han Yan, turned sideways and stood side by side with Han Yan, and said lightly.
"Hmm!"
Looking at Cao Cao's series of actions, for some reason, Han Yan's heart suddenly felt a little disappointed. I thought he would explain it to himself.
Han Yan and Cao Cao walked towards Yuan Shao's mansion, each thinking about it. In fact, Han Yan didn't mean to be too close to Yuan Shao, because in his opinion, Yuan Shao's utilitarianism was too strong, and all his actions had a strong purpose, which made it difficult for Han Yan to accept it from the bottom of his heart. It's just that Han Yan is in Luoyang, and he always has to make some friends, and without Cao Cao, he can't skip dinner, right? As the saying goes, 'things gather by like, and people are divided by groups', without Cao Cao, a person who lives in isolation, it is naturally difficult for Han Yan to make some friends, and it is naturally difficult to bypass Yuan Shao, a representative figure of the children of official eunuchs, so it is inevitable to deal with them.
came and went, and Han Yan participated in Yuan Shao's banquet more and more.
