"Uncle, who are you taking me to?"

Walking along the tree-lined path in the back garden of Huben Mansion, Cao Peng's doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but ask.

"It's coming!"

Dian Wei smiled and did not answer positively.

After passing through the garden path, you will see a small arch. The two wooden doors were closed, and Dian Wei stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push the door open.

"Ah Fu, come with me."

Cao Peng remembered that behind this arch was Cao Ying's Sikong Mansion Garden.

Dianman had mentioned it to him before, and he had seen Xiahou Zhen running from behind this arch.

What did Dian Wei mean by bringing me to Cao Ying's garden? Could it be that the person he just said he was going to take me to see was Cao Ying?

In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

But then I think about it, I haven't caused any trouble recently, what are you afraid of?

But at the thought of facing Cao Ying, Cao Peng's heart was nervous for no reason. Although his family all worked for Cao Ying, and Cao Peng had also seen Cao Ying. But when I saw it, I didn't have a positive contact. This feeling is just like the feeling when I first went to work in my previous life and went to see the leader, nervous, apprehensive, and at the same time had a trace of doubt: Cao Ying is so good, why do you want to see me?

Sui Dian Wei passed through the arch and heard the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing in the garden.

At the entrance of the garden path, Cao Peng saw Xu Chu.

"My nephew has seen my uncle."

Cao Peng stepped forward and saluted.

Xu Chu didn't have any expression on his face, just nodded with Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, hurry up, the lord has been waiting for a long time."

Sure enough, it's Cao Ying!

Cao Peng only felt that his heart twitched suddenly.

He took a deep breath and stepped down the path. When Dian Wei walked into the path, he stopped and was on duty with Xu Chu.

The sound of singing and dancing is getting closer and closer.

You can see a pavilion in the distance, Cao Ying is kneeling on the couch, and there are cases in front of him.

In front of the pavilion, there are kabuki dances.

However, for this kind of dance, Cao Peng can't understand most of them.

"Ah Fu, come and sit down."

Cao Ying saw Cao Peng, laughed, and waved to him.

Cao Peng hurriedly quickened his pace and came to the pavilion, only to find that it was not Cao Ying alone in the pavilion, but also Cao Zhen and a young man who were sitting next to him.

Xiahou Zhen was guarding a row of bars, concentrating on warm wine.

It is a tool for warming wine, which was extremely popular in the Han Dynasty. In most liquor stores, there are terraces. And most of the guards are women. On the one hand, you can warm the wine to take care of the business, and on the other hand, you can attract customers. Originally, the platform was mostly black, but some embellishments were added to the homes of the powerful and wealthy. For example, the platform in this pavilion is inlaid with a layer of white sand pebbles, which is quite elegant.

Speaking of the platform, it was originally a decoration in the market.

However, since the story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, many powerful families will also set up a platform to attach elegance.

Therefore, another profession was derived, called the Lady of the Sword.

Being able to make a good hand of wine is also a skill. Many women practice women's red at the same time, but also learn the art of hot wine.

Xiahou Zhen raised his head and smiled at Cao Peng.

Seeing the smile on Xiahou Zhen's face, the nervousness in Cao Peng's heart disappeared all of a sudden.

He believed that if there was really something, then Xiahou would really hint at him. Since Xiahou really looked relaxed, it wouldn't be a big deal if he thought about it.

"Humble Cao Peng, knock on the commonplace."

Cao Peng stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the saying of three kneels and nine knocks had not yet appeared, and people saw each other, and they mostly seemed casual. Even if it is a discussion in the court, it is not as strict as in the TV series of later generations. Most of them come in groups of three or five, and they can move around at will. Sit or stand, very casually.

Cao Peng's solemn salute made Cao Ying stunned.

He smiled dumbly and said, "Ah Fu, this is home, why do you have to be so polite, sit down." But Cao Peng still solemnly passed the courtesy, and then bowed slightly and sat down on the side.

"Uh...... I'll call you Ah Fu, no problem. ”

Cao Ying looked at Cao Peng with a smile on his face, and asked softly.

"Naturally."

"Zidan, I don't need to introduce you, you also know Xiaozhen; This is my son, who is four years younger than you, and is twelve years old. Speaking of which, you are also a generation. I'm looking for you today, and there's nothing to do. Mainly thank you for escorting your grandmother all the way. ”

Cao Pi?

Cao Peng looked at the young man in surprise.

But when he saw Cao Pi, he was also looking at him curiously...... Cao Pi's stature is not tall, probably less than 160 cm. But there is a rare calmness, unlike ordinary young people of the same age.

The two made eye contact, and Cao Pi smiled slightly.

Cao Peng also smiled, and immediately made eye contact with Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen seemed to have some shame in his eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Cao Peng.

This can't help but make Cao Peng a little strange.

"Ah Fu, I have heard that when you were in Guangling, you wrote "The Burrow"?"

"Ah...... It was an occasional act in the leisure time of the lowly position. ”

Cao Ying smiled, "It's all said, this is a family banquet, you don't need to be restrained." Don't call yourself 'lowly, lowly'. Speaking of which, you are also my son and nephew...... Take it easy. I originally wanted to invite Jun Shi to come, but now that he is supervising the construction of weapons in Xingyang, he can't pull away for a while. Last night's light rain, Chen Shi walked in the garden, saw the branches of plum green, suddenly felt that last year's fight for embroidery, the lack of water on the way, the soldiers are thirsty. I had a plan in my mind, and I said with a whip: There is Merlin ahead...... When the sergeant heard this, his mouth was full of spittle, so he was not thirsty. Seeing this plum today, you can't help but appreciate it. When there is nothing to do, it is also a pleasure to invite three or five sons and nephews to cook wine and enjoy plums. ”

Cao Ying's words faintly admitted the fact that Cao Ji was a member of his clan.

It's just that this matter still needs to wait for Cao Ji to return and then do the certification.

Cao Zhen and Cao Pi hurriedly got up, "Thank you for your father's (uncle's) love." ”

Only Cao Peng did not react.

Sitting behind the desk, my head was a mess.

Green plum boiled wine on heroes?

How can this be the case?

Green plum boiled wine on heroes, taken from the twenty-first chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In later generations, it can be said that women and children know it. However, the heroes of Qingmei cooking wine are Cao Ying and Liu Bei. But now, Liu Bei didn't sit here, but replaced himself and Cao Zhen Cao Pi?

What about Liu Bei?

"Ah Fu, Ah Fu?"

"Ah, Sikong ......"

"Huh?" Cao Ying's thick eyebrows were twisted together, and his face sank.

Xiahou was really busy glancing at Cao Peng, Cao Peng immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly changed his words: "Uncle! ”

Cao Ying smiled, "I heard my grandmother say that you are the fourth grandson of the Marquis of Pingyang." Speaking of which, you can also be regarded as a child of my clan, when the Houzong of Pingyang was implicated by the crown prince, and the Cao family suffered. The four sons of Gonghou traveled and settled in Qian County, while the last branch of your ancestor lived in Nanyang. I have ordered someone to check the genealogy, and your ancestor Cao Min does have a person...... Ah Fu, I said that today is a family feast, don't be restrained. ”

"Nephew understands."

Cao Pi said suddenly: "If the mountain is not high, there is a fairy, the name is good, the water is not deep, there is a dragon, and the spirit is a burrow, but I am Dexin...... Brother Youxue, I once heard Mr. Xiuruo say that you are unique in poetry and writing. Today, the scenery in the garden is pleasant, the singing and dancing are beautiful, why not write a poem? ”

Cao Pi, the founder of the Jian'an literary style in later generations.

The three of Cao's father and son can be literary and talented. Needless to say, Cao Zhi is even more famous, and even Cao Pi is as brilliant as he is.

He opened his mouth to invite poems, which immediately made Cao Ying interested.

"Yes, Ah Fu, why don't you write a poem?"

"This ......"

Cao Peng scratched his head and had a headache.

This is a poem for the occasion, and it is not a matter of stealing a poem to get away with it.

He closed his eyes, got up after a while, wandered a few steps in the pavilion, and suddenly opened his eyes: "Everyone says that Luoyang is good, and tourists are only old in Luoyang." The spring water is blue in the sky, and the pavilion listens to the rain. The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists. If you are not old, you need to return to your hometown, and you need to break your intestines when you return to your hometown. ”

Then, Cao Peng sat down again.

Cao Pi was stunned, looked at Cao Peng, and said after a while: "The spring water is blue in the sky, and the pavilion listens to the rain...... It's good, but it doesn't seem to be appropriate. ”

Who knows, Cao Ying sighed, stroked his palms and said: "I already understand Ah Fu's intentions.

However, the matter of returning to the sect is not idle, and it needs to be considered in the long run after your father returns. But don't worry, Ah Fu, I'll always keep it in mind. ”

This Bodhisattva Barbarian was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Zhuang.

Cao Peng changed the 'Jiangnan' in the original poem to 'Luoyang'. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang was Yanjing, and now, Luoyang is broken, and Xu County is the capital. This Luoyang has the meaning of alluding to Xu Du.

Everyone says that Yanjing is good, and people are suitable for growing old in Yanjing.

The water is blue in spring, and the woman next to the platform is radiant...... It is exactly the portrayal of Xiahou Zhen at this time. Xiahou Zhen subconsciously lowered his sleeves, and his little face was flushed.

Do not return to your hometown until you are old; After returning to his hometown, he will miss Yanjing again.

These two lines of poetry are actually written backwards. In Cao Ying's view, what Cao Peng expressed was the sorrow and sadness of wanting to return to his ancestors and recognize his ancestors.

For Cao Pi, it is the age when a teenager does not know the taste of sorrow, and he can't help but be a little deep.

But Cao Ying can still understand.

Cao Peng smiled and bowed slightly after the case, which was regarded as a response.

"Xiao Zhen, add wine to Ah Fu."

Xiahou Zhen promised to give Cao Peng a knight.

Cao Peng thanked him and raised his glass to drink.

"Ah Fu, Liu Bei ran away!"

Cao Zhen, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.

Cao Peng didn't have time to swallow a sip of wine, and was choked by Cao Zhen's words, and coughed violently.

"Brother Zidan, won't you wait a while?"

Xiahou Zhen couldn't help but give Cao Zhen a roll of the eyeball, which made Cao Zhen smile bitterly, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Liu Bei ran away? When? ”

Cao Zhen said: "Just before that...... He said it was hunting, so no one paid attention. Unexpectedly, after he left Xudu with people, he went all the way south. When my uncle got the news, he immediately ordered someone to pursue him. was ambushed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Juntai...... After Liu Bei and his family reunited, they fled. It is said that he led people to the direction of Qingzhou, and it seems that he defected to Yuan Shao. ”

After speaking, Cao Zhen took a deep breath, stood up and slammed towards Cao Peng to the ground.

"Previously, Ah Fu, you reminded me that you want me to pay more attention to Liu Bei.

I thought you said those words because you had a grudge against Liu Xuande. Now, you are right.

This person can be forbearant and knows how to hide himself.

I was deceived by his appearance, and I misunderstood you...... Afu, I apologize to you. ”

Cao Pi sat on the side, looking at Cao Peng curiously with a pair of eyes.

Cao Peng hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Where did my brother start with this, I also had a bad attitude that day, so that I ...... Liu Bei is a man who has the posture of a hero. You haven't played against him, so you don't know him. Being deceived by him is nothing, but I have some Ren surname. ”

Cao Ying was on the side, silent.

Suddenly, he waved his hand and motioned for the kabuki outside the pavilion to stand down.

"Zidan, Ah Fu is right, you can't blame you for this matter, even I was almost confused by Liu Bei.

It's just that Liu Bei left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to react. Ah Fu, tell me, why did Liu Xuande leave? ”

After Cao Peng sat down, he suddenly felt in his heart: no wonder...... It turned out that Liu Bei ran away!

However, Cao Peng couldn't think of a reason why Liu Bei fled suddenly. He vaguely remembered that when Liu Bei was planting vegetables, then there was a hero who boiled wine with green plums. Later, Liu Bei is Cao Ying completely eliminated his suspicions, and under the pretext of blocking Yuan Shu, he reoccupied Xiapi.

However, it didn't take long for him to be beaten to Runan by Cao Ying.

But now, why did he run away?

Hearing Cao Ying's question, Cao Peng didn't know how to answer.

The edict of the cloth and the ribbon must be the edict of the cloth and the ribbon...... This incident has happened, but I don't know what the reason made Liu Bei leave Xu Capital early.

"Uncle, there is an ancient proverb in Zhongyang Mountain: Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door.

Liu Bei suddenly fled from Xu Capital, and he must have done something unseemly. And the consequences of this matter were very serious, and he was afraid that his uncle would find out, so he ......"

Halfway through the words, Cao Peng closed his mouth.

Cao Ying's eyes were half-narrowed, and he suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

I saw a young general, hurriedly came to the pavilion and knelt on one knee.

"Secret order Gongda, thoroughly investigate who Liu Xuande has been moving around frequently and who he has been in contact with during this time in Xudu."

"Whoa!"

The young general got up and hurried away.

At this moment, suddenly the clouds were indifferent, as if a shower was coming.

"Daddy, look!"

Cao Pi suddenly pointed to a dragon hanging in the sky, Cao Ying, Cao Peng and Cao Zhen, all stood up and watched by the railing.

"Zidan, Youxue, can you know the changes of the dragon?"

Coming, coming, coming...... Cao Peng said secretly in his heart, and blurted out: "I don't know the details." ”

Cao Ying smiled, "The dragon can be big and small, and it can be promoted and hidden; The big one is a cloud and a fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. Fang is heavy this spring, the dragon changes from time to time, and the Jews have the ambition to cross the seas. Dragons are things that can be compared to the heroes of the world...... Ah Da, Zidan, Ah Fu, Jin Kao Xiaoer, etc., in today's world, who can be a hero? ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This problem is almost the same as the hero of the Qingmei boiled wine in the romance.

When Cao Ying remarks 'dragon', that kind of grandeur is convincing. But Liu Bei can answer the same question like that, how should he answer it?

Cao Peng pondered for a moment and said softly: "I think that the heroes of the world are only empty ears!" ”
