Chapter VII, Chapter VII

The next morning, Liu Yuan got up, saw that the furnishings in the house were different from those in the Hou Mansion, patted his forehead, and then suddenly remembered to be in the Cai Mansion. All he remembered was that he had drunk a lot of wine last night, and then he was vague, as if he had plagiarized two poems, and then he didn't know anything.

"TNND, you didn't do anything out of the ordinary last night, did you?" Liu Yuan said secretly: "I usually drink with Dian Wei, and I don't get very drunk with five altars and eight altars, is it possible that last night's situation was that the legendary wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk?" ”

Just as he was distracted, the door creaked open, and a delicate maid walked in with a basin of water, but asked Liu Yuan to wash.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth with green salt grass, Liu Yuan went to the living room under the guidance of the maid, and saw that the three members of the Cai family had arrived, so he couldn't help but hurriedly say hello.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Cai Yong still had that comforting smile on his face: "The virtuous nephew was drunk last night, he was really heroic!" ”

"Uncle Xie cares, Zihong was very safe last night." Saying that, Liu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and said unnaturally: "The little nephew lost his temper last night, I hope my uncle doesn't mind, hehe." Seeing that Cai Yong did not show an unhappy look, Liu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said God bless, there should be no foreign appearance last night.

While chatting and having breakfast, Liu Yuan said goodbye to Cai Yong, only saying that there were still many mundane things to do, and he couldn't stay for a long time.

Cai Yong also knew that Liu Yuan had just become the Taishou of Yuyang, and he must have many plans, and he couldn't stay in Cai's Mansion for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, so he had to personally send Liu Yuan outside the mansion. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Liu Yuan carefully noticed that Cai Yong had a look on his face that was unspeakable, and he couldn't help but say, "Uncle, what's the matter?" As long as Zihong does his best, he will not shirk. ”

Cai Yong didn't expect Liu Yuan's heart to be as careful as a hair, and after hearing this, he only looked Liu Yuan up and down carefully, exhaled, and then said: "The old man discussed with his wife last night, and felt that the virtuous nephew had a lot of character, and he wanted to marry the little girl to the virtuous nephew, but I don't know what to do?" ”

Liu Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "The little sister is beautiful, gentle and elegant, and knowledgeable, why don't you like it?" I was afraid that I was not worthy of Zhaoji, so I didn't propose it to my uncle, I wanted to make a great contribution, and the name of the world came to propose again, but my uncle looked up to his little nephew, where is there any reason? It's just that this time my mother is not by my side, how should this be? ”

Cai Yong also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Yuan's expression. He is a world-famous Confucian, and his fame and identity are few people, but this time he admires Liu Yuan's talent very much, and Liu Yuan is from a royal family, so he has the intention of marrying a daughter, and he asked his wife, and he agreed. It's just that as the woman's father, this is really difficult to say, if Liu Yuan didn't ask, he could only hold it in his heart and wouldn't say it.

At this time, everyone was happy, and Cai Yong said: "The in-laws are not in Luoyang, so the old man and Er verbally set up this family business, and when the time is ripe, it is not too late to talk about marriage." What's more, the little girl is twelve years old, and the virtuous nephew is only eleven years old, and they are all young, so I am afraid that the in-laws are here, and they will not be able to marry until after Zhao Ji and Lu. ”

Liu Yuan nodded yes, and then said goodbye and left.

Until Liu Yuan rode rhubarb around the corner of the street, Cai Yong was about to enter the door, when a young man suddenly walked out of the corner, only to hear him shout: "Teacher, teacher!" ”

Cai Yong turned his face and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Meng De, how could he have time to come here as a teacher?" ”

The young man approached, gave a long salute, and said, "Ah Pu has encountered a problem, and he wants to ask his teacher. ”

Cai Yong affectionately pulled him into the door.

"Master, who is it who just rode away on a bull? How do you feel like you? Cao Ying asked casually.

"Hehe, that is the former Yuyang Marquis of His Majesty, Liu Zihong," Cai Yong smiled: "In the future, you two should be more close, the old man has promised Zhao Ji to marry him, so that you two can also be regarded as senior brothers, hehe"

Cao Ying's feet were stunned. Zhao Ji Cai Yan is the person he thinks about for a long time, the two can be said to be childhood sweethearts, but this time they were taken first, or his enemy, how can people not be resentful in their hearts? However, Cao Ying is a thoughtful person after all, and his face is not happy, so he only said: "Although Liu Zihong is a member of the Han family and has been named the Marquis of Yuyang, he is not qualified to be the junior sister of Zhaoji, right?" ”

Cai Yong nodded and said: "This is not bad, if the old man is not satisfied, even the prince will not want to marry my family Zhaoji, the old man is just very satisfied with Zihong's literary talent, so he moved his mind." ”

Cao Ying knew the teacher's surname, just like Yuan Shu, who often teased Cai Yan, although he was noble, he was a straw bag, and he was kicked out by the teacher many times to ask for relatives, and he didn't give the Yuan family any face. Although the Yuan family is powerful, they dare not persecute it too much, because Cai Yong's fame is too huge, especially in the eyes of scholars, and only another great Confucian Zheng Xuankang Chenggong can match.

When Cai Yong talked about Liu Yuan, he remembered the two masterpieces he sang last night, which can be called peerless classics, and immediately pulled Cao Ying into the study, and handed the two poems that he spent half a night carefully recording last night to Cao Ying: "Mengde and taste it." ”

Cao Ying spread out the paper and read it softly: "Five-flowered horses, the daughter Qiu and Er sell the eternal sorrows, but I hope that people will last for a long time, and thousands of miles will be Chanjuan!" ”

"Good poetry, good poetry!" Although it came from the hands of the enemy, Cao Ying did not hesitate to praise, these two poems are definitely masterpieces that have shocked the ages! Let it be ashamed of itself.

"No wonder the teacher will give Zhaoji's junior sister to that Liu Zihong, this person is both humanistic and martial, and he is worthy of Zhaoji!" Cao Ying thought to himself.

Not to mention that Cai Yong's master and apprentice commented on the poems, then Liu Yuan returned to the Hou Mansion happily all the way, his mouth was crooked, and he couldn't wait to immediately spread the news thousands of miles and tell his mother, no, he went home and saw people and said that he was the son-in-law of Cai's family, and he envied Guo Jia and Chen Qun.

"Liu Zihong is really shit lucky, how could everyone Cai marry Miss Zhaoji to such a barbarian? God is unfair, God is unfair! Guo Jia looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Hehe, don't be envious, don't worry, young master, I will definitely find you a peerless beauty in the future, how about it?" Liu Yuan said with a grin.

"Cut," Guo Jia rolled his eyes when he heard this and said: "I am dignified Guo Fengxiao, a talented person, Bo Gu Tong Jin, there are countless girls who want to marry me, do you want your help?" Joke! ”

Nowadays, the relationship between several people is quite harmonious, and they also make jokes and jokes from time to time.

When a few people were talking and laughing, Dian Wei was like a shadow, standing behind Liu Yuan all the time, and he didn't speak, but when he heard the wonders, he also scratched his head and smirked. Guo Jia often satirized Dian Wei, saying that he was not bright, but Dian Wei's brain was really not bright, no matter what he said, he just didn't mess with him, so that Guo Fengxiao was born to hit the wall again and again, and then he no longer paid attention to Dian Wei's interest.

A few days later, Liu Yuan visited some ministers of the DPRK and China, such as the general He Jin, Wang Yun who played with beauty, etc., but he did not go to the mansion of Taifu Yuan Kui. In his mind, he said that he was going to be an enemy in the future anyway, and he had a feud with the Yuan family brothers a few days ago, and now he goes, isn't that to use his face to stick to other people's butts? It's also a shame.

That night, Liu Yuan called more than 50 people under his command, along with Guo Jia, Chen Qun, and Dian Wei, to the living room of the Hou Mansion, saying that there was something to announce.

When everyone arrived, Liu Yuan knelt on the main seat, taking in everyone's eyes, and then said: "I am going to set off north to Youzhou, I have been thinking about future development matters for the past few days, and I finally have something to gain so far, so I called everyone here for details." ”

"I expect that in five years the world will be in chaos, when the heroes will rise together and compete with each other. So now I have to prepare. Liu Yuan looked at the No. 53 below: "There are a few people among you who think they have a talent for business, and they are out of the ranks." ”

As soon as the words fell, thirteen people led by Liu Yi stood out from the crowd: "Young master, we are willing to do business." ”

When these fifty-three people took refuge in Liu Yuan, most of them did not have names, and some even called them Goudan, Ah Niu, etc., so Liu Yuan gave the surname 'Liu' together, according to the eldest and youngest, from Liu Yi to Liu Fifty-three.

This Liu Yinai is the oldest of them, who followed his father in business when he was young, and later suffered great changes before he became a coward. The opening of the inn in Luoyang this time is his single-handedness.

Liu Yuan nodded and said: "War, what is fought is money, food, and population, so the task in the future is extremely important, and it is my backing." Liu Yuan said: "Liu Yi, my request to you is to open the entire Chamber of Commerce to every corner of Dahan!" At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce also has a great responsibility for gathering intelligence, I hope you don't let me down! ”

"Whoa!" Liu Yi's voice was sonorous, and then his face was embarrassed: "Young master, although a certain family has some means of doing business, it is difficult to open the Chamber of Commerce all over the Han!" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I've been prepared, you come forward." Liu Yuan took out a stack of papers from his arms and said, "These are a few new projects that I have summarized to make special money, you see," Liu Yuan took out one of the pieces of paper and explained to Liu Yi: "This is a kind of equipment for distilling, filtering, and purifying fine wine, and the fine wine brewed from it is ten times fresher and mellower than the tribute wine in the palace!" ”

After speaking, he handed it to Liu Yiyi: "When you wait to cast this kind of tool, you must find different craftsmen and cast various parts separately, so that there is no danger of leaking secrets." Seeing Liu Yi solemnly put the paper into his arms, Liu Yuan picked up the second piece of paper and said: "This is a new papermaking technology, dozens of times better than today, this new technology greatly saves the process and raw materials, saves labor and time, and makes the paper more delicate and white, better to use." The necessary utensils are also illustrated, and you should put them away. Liu Yuan handed the piece of paper to Liu Yi again.

"The last one is printing!" Liu Yuan glanced at Guo Chen and the others, who were stunned, and said: "This kind of printing technology I call movable type printing, which can print all kinds of books extremely quickly and conveniently, providing great convenience for students all over the world. For this, I have a premise, a requirement. Provided that it is in my name; The requirement is that no matter what means you use to popularize it, it must be disrelated to the Chamber of Commerce, and no one can associate me with the Chamber of Commerce, remember? ”

"Yes! Master. ”

Seeing Liu Yi's promise, Liu Yuan couldn't help but smile, only to see him take out a jar of wine from under the table, open the mud seal, and bite his finger, drip thirteen drops of blood in it, and then said: "I am born with extraordinary blood, which can greatly improve people's strength and physique, and if you do things for me, I will naturally not treat you badly." Then he clapped his hands and asked someone to bring a bowl of wine, divided a jar of wine into thirteen equal parts, and said, "Thirteen of you come up, one bowl for each person." After drinking, the physical fitness will be greatly improved in a few months, and then it will be free from all diseases, and the life expectancy will also be greatly increased, and it is not a problem to live over 100 years old. ”

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be stunned immediately when they heard this, and then they looked at Liu Yuan with a fanatical face, even Guo Jia and Chen Qun couldn't get out of the ordinary. In their eyes, the wine is no longer wine, but a panacea!

"No wonder the young master is so powerful, it's actually for this reason." Dian Wei muttered as he swallowed his saliva.

Liu Yi and the other thirteen people stepped forward quickly, and one of them took a bowl of blood wine, and drank it with a grunt, until the eyes of the other people glowed green and their mouths were dry.

"Master!"

Thirteen people drank perfect wine, knelt on the ground together, kowtowed three times in a row, and said in unison: "Swear allegiance to the master!" ”

Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, picked up the last piece of paper again, and said: "This is a kind of assassin's cultivation technique, practice to a small level, the speed is extremely fast, you can hide the breath, no one can detect it, practice to the big success, the speed is further improved, and you can hide in the shadow of people without being detected, you wait for thirteen people and go down to remember it, burn it, and don't leak it out." In the future, when you develop your subordinates, you must give yourself a drop of essence blood after agreeing to it, so that you can teach this skill, otherwise no one will be able to practice it. ”

Liu Yi and the others were all happy. You must know that if troubled times come, human life is like a mustard, and those who have no ability will definitely die without a corpse, and the cultivation exercises in the world are either monopolized by big families, or in the hands of hidden masters, where is the share of ordinary civilians? Now that the master not only gave immortal blood, but also gave the world's meritorious service without hesitation, how could it not make people ecstatic?

After Liu Yi and the other thirteen people retreated, Liu Yuan looked at the rest of the people in the hall quite interestingly, and said to Guo Jia beside him: "What does Fengxiao think?" ”

Guo Jia came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "You have this kind of capital, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely be able to occupy one side and become a prince in the future, and it is very likely that you will unify Kyushu, and I Guo Jia have nothing to say." ”

Chen Qun nodded and said: "Zihong has that movable type printing technique to promote it, and as a member of the Han family, the scholars of the world will definitely compete to vote, especially the students from the poor family!" ”

"And what do you two think now?"

Guo Chen and the others glanced at each other, suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed down: "Guo Jia (Chen Qun) to meet the lord!" ”

"Hahaha" Liu Yuan was overjoyed: "Hurry up, please get up!" As he spoke, he helped the two of them up and said, "Do you know that we are all haggard for this day?" ”

That night, Liu Yuan lost too much blood and recuperated for more than ten days before he recovered. There is no way, there are more than fifty people, one person and one drop of essence blood, and they almost didn't dig Liu Yuan into an empty shell!

But fortunately, Zhao Ji heard that Liu Yuan was ill, and he was going to visit him in the Hou Mansion every three or five days, and the relationship between the two developed very rapidly, holding hands and hugging, but due to the etiquette system, he didn't get up and down his hands and grab the first kiss.

It is worth mentioning that Cao Ying actually came to visit Liu Yuan twice, the first time was to resolve the misunderstanding of molesting Cai Yan, at that time, only Yuan Shu was the only one who spoke disrespectfully, Cao Ying and Yuan Shao just stood aside and watched the excitement, and after being confirmed by Zhao Ji, Liu Yuan no longer held on. The second time was that Cao Ying wanted to talk to him about poetry and poetry - it turned out that Liu Yuan's drunken plagiarism of "Will Enter the Wine" and "Water Tune Song Head" had already spread throughout Luoyang because of Cai Yong's relationship, and there was a great momentum of spreading to Yingchuan and other places, and Cao Ying was also good at this, so he came to discuss with Liu Yuan, first, for his own interests, and second, he wanted to test Liu Yuan and find out his surname.

Half a month passed in a flash, Liu Yuan had enough vitality, and he became famous among the scholars in Luoyang, and the wine was brewed, and even the tools for papermaking and printing had basically been handled.

"It's time to leave!"

Liu Yuan looked at the yellow leaves fluttering in the courtyard, and knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor that day, and offered wine, and went to Zhang Rang and He Jin's mansion, bribed him, and finally went to Cai's mansion, and said goodbye to Zhao Jiyi, and then returned to Yuyang Hou's mansion, packed up, and prepared to leave Luoyang early the next morning and go north to Youzhou.
