Chapter 4 Caofu Family Banquet
Gao Ye's solicitation, for Gan Ning, who was just twenty-two years old, can be described as a big pie falling from the sky. After all, the pen and the fun www.biquge.info and the pavilion have been famous for a long time, and they have a pivotal position in the Cao camp, and now they are even more official generals. Since Gan Ning reformed his ways, what he has done is to make a vigorous and big thing, so as to live up to the name of the husband.
But the Gan family is not a wealthy family, although his father was a county magistrate, it is a pity that he died early, otherwise it would be impossible for him to mess around. If it weren't for his father and Zhang Ji's old relationship, Gan Ning wouldn't have had the opportunity to go to Zhang Ji to study. Later, he would not defect to Liu Biao and Huang Zu, and finally became a famous general under Sun Quan. Now that history is repeated, Zhang Ji was invited to Yingchuan by Gao Ye, Gan Ning thought, with Gao Ye's respect for Zhang Ji and his fist, he asked Zhang Ji to help beg for help, and it is definitely not difficult to enter Yingchuan Academy to study. But who would have thought that when he came to the academy, he would be valued by a character like Gao Ye. I have always been very confident in my martial arts, and now if I fight with Gao Ye for a few more years, I will not only learn the skills, but most importantly, I will have combat achievements to gain. Such a good thing is not encountered every day, so I was so excited that I couldn't speak.
When Gao Ye saw Gan Ning's appearance, he knew that this matter had become eighty percent. Therefore, he just smiled and said to Zhang Ji: "Lord Zhang will not be reluctant." ”
"Haha, Xingbaxian's nephew can be favored by Mingxi, that is his creation. Xingba is bent on being a mighty general, and I, Zhang Ji, am an old man, and I am studying medicine, what can I teach Xingba about things in the military array? It's better to follow Mingxi for a few years, and your long-term knowledge is better than following me. Xingba, don't you say? ”
"Yes, yes, my lord said yes. From today onwards, Lao Tzu will follow the general. ”
Gao Ye laughed even more heartily when he heard this, and bluntly said that there was another general in Cao's camp. In the same way, there was no change even in front of Cao Cao, which not only made Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised, but even the children of the Cao family who came to Cao Song's birthday banquet together were also curious, what kind of ability did this Gan Ning have, and he could be so praised by Gao Ye.
That's right, today is Cao Song's birthday, on the eighth day of the second lunar month, not only did all the Cao clansmen come to Cao's mansion to celebrate his birthday, but even Gao Ye was inexplicably pulled. It stands to reason that Cao Song is not a full life, they are courtiers, and the birthday gift is delivered. After all, everyone is Cao Cao's courtier, not Cao Song's courtier. But Gao Ye was pulled over by Cao Cao in the name of his in-laws, and he was stunned, which made Gao Ye inexplicable.
But Cao Cao said vigorously: "Are you and Guo Jia brothers?" Is Guo Jia my son-in-law? In this case, how can you, the in-laws, not come? Look, isn't Zilong here too? ”
Gao Ye was really powerless to refute this passage, when he said this, he was a generation younger than Cao Cao, and he didn't know if he would come according to the etiquette of his children and nephews or the etiquette of his grandchildren, so he was not embarrassed. Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't say much about this question, since he heard Gao Ye's evaluation of Gan Ning, regardless of the fact that this was a birthday banquet, he actually asked Gao Ye directly about Gan Ning. Because today's protagonist is Cao Song, the old birthday star is sitting on the main seat. As for Cao Cao, he was already crowded with Gao Ye at a table at this time.
"Mingxi, does this Gan Ning really have such skills?"
"Haha, why, the lord still doesn't believe in my eyesight? This Gan Ning is still young now, but if you think about it, can you lead a group of rabble, crisscrossing Bajun and the Yangtze River, how can he be incompetent? If you train well and experience it, you will definitely become a great tool! Besides, the arrival of this Gan Ning, hehe, can solve a big matter for the lord, doesn't the lord know? ”
"Huh? But what is it? This Gan Ning has never read much poetry and books, and he is definitely not a person like Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao. When it comes to martial arts, I have a lot of fierce generals. When it comes to fighting, Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Manchester City, Wen Ze and others are all good at fighting. What problem can this Gan Ning solve for me? ”
"I've talked about the Yangtze River, don't you understand?" Gao Ye followed everyone's words of victory, raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup, and then reminded Cao Cao in a whisper. Cao Cao didn't patronize listening to Gan Ning just now, and he didn't notice the details of the Yangtze River in Gao Ye's words at all. Now after being reminded of the high night, where can I not understand what the high night means. However, unlike Gao Ye's great joy, Cao Cao frowned at this time and said: "Although we are now rich in money and food, we are about to start a war with Xuzhou this year, and then we will compete with Yuan Shao in Hebei." Mingxi is thinking about the matter of the navy at this time, is it a little early? ”
Gao Ye smiled and said, "Early?" If you don't train the water army that has always been qualified earlier, the lord will pacify Yuan Shao by then, what will he do to conquer Jiangdong? The land of Jiangdong is very different from the Central Plains, not only the climate is humid, but the terrain is quite hilly, and the rivers are dense, which is the most unfavorable for cavalry assault. Besides, there is still the Yangtze River moat in Jiangdong, if there is no qualified naval army, how will the lord start a war with Sun Ce at that time? ”
"Yes...... There is nowhere in the north to train the navy. Cao Cao frowned. Besides, Guo Jia on the side came over at this time, drank the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "It's the birthday of the eldest man, my lord, you and the eldest brother can't stop for a while." You see, the old man looks at the two of you, but his face is not good. Don't blame me for not reminding me then. Hahaha, come, all the princes drink and win, congratulations to the old man for ten thousand years! ”
Cao Cao and Gao Ye only noticed Cao Song staring at him faintly at this time, and sure enough, as Guo Jia said, he had a somewhat unkind posture. The two hurriedly followed Guo Jia's words, raised their glasses together, and shouted to win. However, Cao Song sighed faintly: "You two, you are still talking about government affairs on the day of the big day. Is this government affairs so urgent? ”
Cao Cao and the two were sitting not far from Cao Song, although the two of them were not discussing loudly, but Cao Song still listened to a rough idea, especially when he saw Cao Cao's frowning brows, he knew that eighty percent of the discussions between the two were political affairs. Now that Yan and Henan are in Dading, although they never ask about political affairs, at least the situation is still clear. Seeing that the two of them were still discussing political affairs at their birthday banquet, how could this mood be smooth?
Gao Ye got up and laughed and said, "The boss guessed wrong, the lord saw that in the birthday gift I gave the boss, there was a pair of congratulations written by me. The lord's writing is extraordinary, and at first sight, he has to try his literary skills with me to see who can write a poem first to celebrate the birthday of the old man. It's not, I'm lucky to win, and the lord hasn't had a good chapter yet, so this is a painstaking appearance, what does it have to do with political affairs. ”
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, he was obviously talking about political affairs with Gao Ye just now, when did it become a discussion of poetry? When Gao Ye said this, his father didn't let him chant in public, so he wouldn't be his father. If you can't sing this, the consequences will be worrying. Sure enough, as soon as Gao Ye's words fell, Cao Song smiled and said, "Haha, you kid will excuse you." Since you have a birthday greeting, it is better to read it out and let the old man listen to it for a while. ”
Gao Ye also smiled, got up and raised his glass and said loudly: "Everyone, on the birthday of the boss today, I have a birthday poem dedicated to the boss." I wish the boss to be like my handwriting, 'Blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan'! Cao Song was also happy when he heard this: "Okay, these two sentences are quite literary." The old man is looking forward to Mingxi's good poems even more. Don't let the old man down. Hahahaha! ”
Gao Ye cleared his throat, he didn't have many birthday poems in his memory, and now in order to make the old man happy, he should memorize it. On a big day, happiness is not better than anything else! Therefore, Gao Yelang chanted: "Sixty-eight years is not idle, and a lot of hard work turns sweet." Once crossed by the sea, now enjoy a peaceful year. After a few days, he concentrated on the new ink, and the five more focused on the old poems. Now I wish the dynasty to dance, and I should believe in life for 200 years. In order to meet the occasion, Gao Ye changed the original poem slightly, and then recited it. Especially the last sentence, when you believe in life for 200 years, what heroism and what an earnest blessing.
As soon as Gao Ye finished chanting, Cao Cao applauded loudly on the side. To be honest, in Cao Cao's opinion, Gao Ye's poem is not very perfect, and there are many places in the choice of words and sentences that are quite straightforward and simple. But this poem is better than the atmosphere, festive, the scenery is reasonable, and the most important thing is that Gao Ye made such a poem almost in a moment, and it is not easy to achieve such a look. Especially looking at his father's joyful face, Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, Gao Ye's Wen Si was fast enough, and he could barely cope with his father, and he didn't have to be scolded tonight.
Cao Song listened, first savored it, and then said: "Although this poem is simple, it is also full of true feelings, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece." But let me say that the best sentence of this whole poem, the last sentence, is quite imposing and tasteful. ”
Gao Ye immediately smiled and said, "It's my most earnest blessing to the eldest nephew." ”
Cao Song laughed even more when he heard this, as if it was someone else who was unhappy just now. After Gao Ye finished speaking, he raised his glass again and invited everyone to drink and win, and everyone present naturally responded in unison. Although the poem Gao Ye is simple in Cao Cao's opinion, it is precisely because of this that everyone present is clear and clear about the meaning of the poem. With such an earnest blessing, how could it not be the expectation of the younger generations of the Cao family?
Cao Song smiled and drank another glass, then looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Mengde, you have always been conceited as a poet, how about it, do you have a good work?" ”
Cao Cao was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, so he just smiled bitterly and said: "With Mingxi's masterpiece in front, how can the child have any masterpieces, he won't be ugly." Child, I drink this cup to celebrate my father's birthday! ”
After another glass of wine, Cao Song could be regarded as letting Cao Cao go, and the scene once returned to the previous situation of hello, hello, hello, everyone. At this time, only Cao Cao was left in the field, looking at Gao Ye with a resentful expression.
