The seventy-third round of Cao's Mansion Banquet
The rain is still falling, but it's much lighter.
Lu Ren had already gone home to rest, and Xun Yu and Guo Jia in the palace were still sitting there dumbfounded, looking at the bamboo slips left by Lu Ren and speechless.
After a long time, Xun Yu picked up the bamboo slip and asked Guo Jia hesitantly: "Who did you, the righteous brother, learn from?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head again and again blankly: "I don't know...... He had always only said that he had been wandering since he was a child, but he said that he could not remember exactly where he had been. ”
Xun Yu said: "Very strange person. But it seems to me that he must have a hidden past. If nothing else, do you understand the methods of rice planting that he just told us? ”
Guo Jia shook his head: "I don't understand." What is the ...... of the accumulation temperature, seedling stage, and water volume? How many times have I learned this? ”
Xun Yu said: "I have studied the "Agricultural Classic" and "Bian Shengzhi", and I barely understood it. However, there is no record of what he knows about agriculture in these two books, and many things are even more unheard of than I have ever heard of. I really want to know where he went and where he learned it. ”
Guo Jia lay back on the ground and sighed softly, "Who knows? Everyone's circumstances are different, and he may have had some adventures. And many people outside the world, in fact, do not want to be known, this kid may have met such a strange person and received his teaching, but he can't say it according to his instructions. Since he didn't say anything, there was no point in asking more...... Don't talk about that. He wants to ask for a position to lead the crowd in Tuntian, can you help him? ”
Xun Yu's response was categorical: "Help, you must help." Regardless of whether what he said that we don't understand is true or false, there is absolutely nothing wrong with gathering the displaced people and using this as the foundation of the country. And he himself made it very clear that now it is just a trial, once it succeeds, there will be precedents to follow in the future, and it will only get twice the result with half the effort when it is implemented. Even if it fails, it is just a year's worth of food for a homeless person. ”
Guo Jia said: "If you think the same as me, I will recommend it to the lord when he comes back." It's just that you've thought about this official position, have you thought about it? ”
Xun Yu said: "Zhizhong already has the position of Tuntian, and it is not difficult to give it to him." However, I think he wants to supervise his subordinates and followers, and his status as a lieutenant is lower, so I recommend him as the captain of Tuntian. ”
Guo Jia smiled dumbly: "Then isn't this kid promoted?" ”
————————————————————
In the winter and November of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao, who had swept around Chendi, returned to Juancheng. After asking Xun Yu about the details of Liu Bei's aid to the grain disaster, Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little impressed by Lu Ren. To be honest, Cao Cao has never been very interested in Lu Ren, but only regards Lu Ren as an ordinary talent, that is, the kind that can occasionally come up with ideas and express opinions.
Now Cao Cao's urgent need has been solved, and a large number of grain and grass have been swept back, after Xun Yu counted, he thought that it could roughly support the autumn harvest of the following year, that is to say, with Lu Bu to compete for the capital of Gunzhou, Cao Cao was in a good mood and naturally wanted to feast the ministers. The day after the official banquet, Cao Cao brought Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Lu Ren to another small banquet to entertain them.
Before the banquet, Guo Jia specially confessed to Lu Ren, and this small banquet was an opportunity for Lu Ren to ask Cao Cao for an official position. Lu Ren understood some of the importance of this, and secretly made corresponding preparations. At the beginning of the small banquet, after three rounds of wine, Cao Cao shook his wine glass and asked Lu Ren first: "Yihao, you went to Xuzhou this time, and things were indeed done beautifully, but Lone still wants to ask, now that Lone has accepted Liu Bei's favor, what name should he use when Lone wants to take Xuzhou again?" ”
It is said that Lu Ren has been prepared for a long time, and said unhurriedly at the moment: "It's not easy to say, but it's not difficult to say." The key is to see if Cao Gong can leave Lu Bu a breath after recapturing Gunzhou. ”
Cao Cao: Who is that? The military everyone understood as soon as they heard Lu Ren's words, and stroked his beard and smiled: "The implication of Yihao's words is to drive Lu Bu to Xuzhou?" ”
Lu Ren nodded: "You don't have to deliberately rush when you arrive, just drive him out of Gunzhou and leave him some combat power." Huainan Yuan Shu would not accept Lu Bu in the first place, and this Lu Bu would not be able to go; Before Lu Bu voted for Zhang Miao, Yuan Shao had murderous intentions towards Lu Bu, and Lu Bu did not dare to go to Yuan Shao. Neither of these ends could go, and Lu Bu had no food in the army, so he had to go nearby and try to defect to Liu Bei. ”
Cao Cao smiled: "Then Liu Bei will accept Lu Bu again?" ”
Lu Ren said: "Definitely." Liu Bei is also a generation of heroes, where can I not know that Cao Gong has been coveting Xuzhou? What's more, before I was cast under the account of Cao Gong, I used to ...... Alas, don't say it. Anyway, Liu Bei would definitely accept Lu Bu in order to compete with Cao Gong. It's just that with Lu Bu's character, Liu Bei only needs to have something wrong or missing......"
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to signal Lu Ren not to say any more, but beckoned everyone to drink together. After a few more rounds of drinking, several people were a little drunk. After Cao Cao verbally praised Lu Ren, he suddenly smiled and asked, "How old is Yihao this year?" ”
Lu Ren was stunned and responded, "Me? Twenty-three, by the beginning of spring next year, it will be twenty-four, which is the year of two epochs. "I was twenty-two years old when I crossed over, and now more than a year has passed.
Cao Cao smiled: "Do you have a marriage contract with that Miss Mi family?" ”
Lu Ren was stunned again, I don't know why Cao Cao suddenly asked this, could it be that it is a common disease of men, and if he drinks too much, he will start talking about women? Immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just that I taught her some music and arithmetic when she was a guest in the Mi family." ”
Cao Cao said: "I see? That's it. After the lonely day captures Xuzhou, I will marry Miss Mijia to you, how about it? ”
Lu Ren's face twitched for a while, and he said in his heart, Lao Cao, what do you want to do?
And Cao Cao saw Lu Ren's very strange expression, and immediately laughed loudly, even Guo Jia and Xun Yu were laughing. After laughing, Cao Cao smiled evilly: "Lone still remembers that when you returned from Chen's injury, Lone once said that he would make a few beauties to warm your bed on behalf of Fengxiao, and now that you have made a lot of achievements, Lone should also fulfill the promise of the day." ”
Lu Ren was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, Lao Cao, do you still remember this? Do you want to reward me with a few women now?
But seeing that Cao Cao may have taken advantage of a little wine, he slapped his hands a few times, and soon several women in costumes came out from behind the screen, and after saluting the few Ying Ying present, they lined up in a row. Cao Cao stretched out his hand and said with a strange smile: "Yihao, pick it yourself." ”
Cao Cao continued: "There are many women in the world, I think Yihao, you don't have to be bitter about Dufang." There are several women in this hall, you can choose any woman to go back and serve around, and it is also one of the rewards for your trip to Xuzhou. Although you have never married a wife, it is okay to have a concubine first. When it comes to the wife, there is a suitable person to make plans. ”
Lu Ren was a little speechless, but he also knew that in ancient times, there was often the kind of thing of taking concubines without marrying a wife. Then, of course, Lu Ren took his eyes to sweep the ladies in the hall. But for some reason, Lu Ren didn't have much interest in these women. It's not that these women are not beautiful, but when he looked at these women, Lu Ren remembered the cabbages he arched over when he was about to cross for no reason.
What's the case with those cabbages? It's still a little interesting when arching, but after arching, Lu Ren's heart will always have a burst of inexplicable emptiness. Especially the "chic" appearance of those cabbages when they finished collecting money and leaving, Lu Ren felt a little disgusted.
Although the women Cao Cao shouted out now were not the cabbages of his time, Lu Ren still couldn't help but equate these women with cabbage. Thinking that when he was doing things next, there was such a woman by his side, Lu Ren was a little annoyed. And in case of bad luck, I met a very coquettish and very good at making trouble, crying, making trouble and hanging for favor...... Lu Ren couldn't help but shudder just thinking about it.
There is also a very important thing, that is, Lu Ren has too many things that are inconvenient for others to know, but Cao Cao's spy is also very famous in history. In case these women have the task of monitoring Lu Ren, wouldn't Lu Ren ......
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren of course wanted to excuse himself. But after a slight change of thought, Lu Ren knew that it would not work if he didn't pick one to go back, because if you dare not to give Lao Cao face, it is tantamount to looking for death. If you want to point a finger, forget it, Lu Ren is really not in the mood. After rolling his eyes a few times, Lu Ren hurriedly pretended to be a little drunk, and left the table to apologize: "Lu Ren is really flattered to be praised by Duke Cao." Just now...... Can you let me go to the toilet first? "Let's take a run of urine and hide, and maybe we can figure out a way to calm down.
Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard this, and waved his hand very casually to let Lu Ren go to the toilet first.
Without saying a word, Lu Ren hid in the toilet. However, when Lu Ren came out of the latrine, Lu Ren hadn't come up with any way to deal with it, so he could only look up at the sky and secretly said in his heart: "Why don't you just pick a person with a better face and figure and go back to be a cabbage arch?" If you are watched, you will be imprisoned, and you can still hide from this kind of thing under Lao Cao's hands...... Holy, what's wrong with me? Cao Cao is going to send a woman to play with me, but what is it that I am thinking about here? ”
Having said that, Lu Ren's footsteps were moving back slowly, slowly...... Don't talk about Lu Ren or anything, in fact, many times people will commit such cheapness, in a modern word, it is "death". This is especially true for those slings. Let's use such an analogy, the slings are often imagining which goddess to cross and circle with all day long, but when the goddess says "let's go to XXOO" to this sling, the biggest possibility of the slings is not to be happy, but to run away......
In this way, Lu Ren lowered his head and slowly moved to the corner of the porch door. Because he was a little absent-minded, he bumped into a maid who had just returned from delivering food from the banquet hall. The manpower who drank too much wine was a little uncontrollable, as if she was unconscious, so this maid was actually hit by Lu Ren's collision and fell on the lawn outside the corridor.
"Ouch! I'm sorry! ”
Lu Ren saw that he had knocked over someone, so he hurriedly reached out to help the maid. The maid who happened to fall to the ground looked up at this time, and the two of them became face-to-face. And this look, Lu Ren suddenly exclaimed:
"Shirley!?"
(I have something to go out today, and I only have time to code this update.) The bottle will be refilled tomorrow. )
