Chapter 63: Above the Night Banquet (Part II)
This bearded scribe who looks quite strong looks like he is forty or fifty years old, this age is enough to be Qin Xu's grandfather if he is a little diligent in the Han Dynasty.
Qin Xu's title of "big brother" immediately caused this person's brows to wrinkle, coupled with Qin Xu's slightly raised eyebrows, and the posture of sitting cross-legged on the ground was also quite indecent, which made a look of disgust flash in this person's eyes.
Qin Xu didn't want to get ahead, but the strategists who could get ahead under the command of Boss Cao, a big expert, were all human spirits, and none of them were soft persimmons that were easy to pinch. But this person's words can already be classified into the category of slapping the face in public, Lu Bu is famous all over the world and has a mixed reputation, this is a fact, but even so, in front of so many people, especially when Lu Bu is present, he is so old-fashioned and betraying the old lesson, so as not to take General Zuo Qingzhou Mu Lu Wenhou too seriously.
"I heard what people said, the gentleman is as gentle as jade, diligent and self-conscious, so he can be ambitious, brother, you have learned the ability to govern the country and level the world well, and the younger brother is very optimistic about you!" Qin Xu smiled lazily.
"Huh?" Qin Xu's words were not loud, but they made Cao Lu and both civil and military forces calm down.
"You kid has some knowledge, I just heard that you are the master book, I must have read a few books, and you can be reused under General Lu, not bad!" The bearded scribe bowed slightly when he heard Qin Xu's "flattery".
Due to the congenital deficiencies such as background and fame, there were no civil officials and strategists on Lu Bujun's side, and the position of chief bookkeeper held by Qin Xu could only be regarded as a civil servant at best. The bearded scribe seemed to be praising Qin Xu, but in fact, he was laughing at Lu Bu's army, a childish man who had only read a few books, was reused, and was brought by Lu Bu to the banquet where the two armies met, which was really unusable.
Lu Bu was okay, as if he hadn't heard Qin Xu after hearing him speak, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was disturbed by the desire to drink, and he didn't listen to the bearded scribe's later sarcasm. But standing behind Lu Bu, Zhang Liao's eyes when he looked at Qin Xu were full of doubts and puzzles. This scribe was quite disrespectful to Lu Bu in his words, why was Qin Xu still so complimentary? But Lu Bu didn't speak, and Zhang Liao didn't have a deep friendship with Qin Xu, so he held back his anger and ignored it.
Cao Jun also looked at Qin Xu with a strange gaze, could it be that this kid who dared to sit next to Lu Bu wanted to "change jobs"? Why didn't he fight back immediately after the lord Lu Bu was humiliated, but instead of flattering him? Almost all the civil and military forces of the Cao army looked at Cao Ying, who was sitting next to Lu Bu on the main seat.
"Poof!" A chuckle suddenly remembered, breaking this strange moment, attracting everyone's eyes to look at the source of the laughter.
In the seat of Cao Jun's civil officials and strategists, a young man with a disheveled face full of wine was lying on the wine table under Xun Yu's head, with drunken eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Why is Mr. Drama laughing?" Zhang Miao is actually still very worried about Lu Bu. Seeing that Lu Bu was squeezed by the Wenchen strategists on Cao Jun's side, he was secretly anxious but couldn't find a good way to solve it. Both sides are friends, Zhang Miao wants to be a peacemaker but has no way to start, after all, he is a civil official of Cao Jun, but Cao Ying pretends to be drunk, he is too Chen Liutai to stay in the place where Lao Cao started, although he is Cao Ying's best friend, but he really does not have much right to speak in front of Cao Jun's civil and military affairs. At this time, everyone was confused by Qin Xu's sudden change of attitude, and they all thought that Qin Xu was currying favor with Cao Jun, but the young strategist who was relied on by Cao Xu as his heart was different, Zhang Miao hurriedly asked.
"Brother Qin's good mouth, Cheng Yu, this old man was scolded by you and was complacent, not bad, I like it!" An exaggerated smile appeared on Xi Zhicai's drunken face, and he raised the wine cup and gave way to Qin Xu.
Is this a drama talent?
Qin Xu carefully looked at this genius who was relied on by Cao Ying, and was recommended by Xun Yu to be on a par with Guo Jia, the number one ghost genius of the Three Kingdoms. is only about thirty years old, but his face is full of alcohol, and he looks weak and hollowed out, no wonder history records that this person died early.
After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Junwenwu suddenly heard a buzz during the banquet. Cheng Yu is upright, he has always had a bad relationship with the unruly Xi Zhicai, and he has not been teased by the talented Gao Zhiguang Xi Zhicai once or twice, but I didn't expect that this time Xi Zhicai was energetic again, and I didn't see Cheng Yu's already red face turned a little purple.
Just when Cao Jun's civil and military forces thought that Xi Zhicai was just teasing Cheng Yu again through Qin Xu's words, Xun Yu on Cao Jun's strategist seat suddenly sighed, looked at Qin Xu and Xi Zhicai with a crying and laughing look, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Mr. Xun, what kind of expression is this? Could it be that just as Mr. Xi said, Lu Bujun, the doll master just now, was really satirizing Cheng Yu? Cao Jun Wenwu's heart almost gave birth to such thoughts, and even the eyes that looked at Qin Xu were full of exploration.
With Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu in front, Cheng Yu's face changed abruptly, and there were also many talented people among Cao Jun's civil officials and strategists who gradually thought of the key to it, covering their mouths and smiling silently.
Seeing that under Xi Zhicai's "praise", someone already understood the meaning, Qin Xu also showed a hint of sneering, this is actually quite unpleasant, I thought that no one would understand, and secretly gave Lu Bu an outlet, but he was recognized by Xi Zhicai. This was originally a joke that Qin Xu heard from the Chinese young girl in the office in the later life, and he just smiled after hearing it, but he didn't expect to use it here.
This sentence comes from the later "Liji University", the full text is "self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world", when Qin Xu said the last two sentences, almost everyone thought that Qin Xu had just heard these two sentences somewhere, used to flatter Cheng Yu, and only Xi Zhi understood the burden in Qin Xu's words.
The original text was originally "Character and then Know, Knowing and Sincerity, Honesty and Sincerity, Righteousness and Righteousness, Righteousness and Body, Cultivation and Family, Family Governance, Country Governance and World Peace.
Qin Xu said that in Cheng Yu's words, governing the country is just that, in the late Han Dynasty, the county and county system coexisted, Cheng Yu had just been conquered by Cao Ying, and served as the prime minister of Dongping, with good political achievements; In the past, Cao Ying's concept at this time was to sweep the world and revitalize the Han family. But before and after Qin Xu's words, he first said a lot of gentleman's actions, three provinces and my body, and he was as gentle as jade, but he didn't mention it in the later words, in fact, he was satirizing Cheng Yu's bad heart, not self-cultivation, and uneven family, and in the language of later generations, that is, he was scolding Cheng Yu for relying on the old and selling the old, and he was an old man with a bad heart, and the female surname in the family often had a super friendship relationship with others, but Cheng Yu didn't know and so on.
It's vicious!
Originally, Qin Xu didn't want to be like this old madman in history, but who let Cheng Yu almost slap Boss Lu in the face in front of Cao Ying, Qin Xu really couldn't stand it, so many people took turns to bully people, so one blow was fatal!
Originally, if everyone didn't understand, it would be fine, Qin Xu scolded happily, but it was just secretly cool.
But Cheng Yu didn't slow down for a while, and encouraged Qin Xu with a smug face to continue to work hard.
"Shaft! Shaft! Old man...... Not! Cheng Yu clutched his chest and pointed at Qin Xu, unable to speak.
After Cheng Yu understood, his face turned purple, his beard trembled non-stop, and his chest rose and fell, which really made Qin Xu wonder if this old man would have a heart attack like Zhou Yu and Wang Lang in the romance.
"Zhongde is drunk, help him down and rest, don't lose his temper in front of Wen Hou!" Cao Ying saw that the faces of the subordinate martial artists were strange, they couldn't cry or laugh, and they also felt that their faces were not very good-looking, and they couldn't care about pretending to be drunk, so they hurriedly ordered. Originally, he wanted to give Lu Bu a few "small programs", but he didn't want the strategist he relied on to be folded in the hands of a doll's master.
"I never thought that Master Qin was so young that he could read a lot of books, and Wen Hou could be assisted by this young hero, which really made Cao envious." Cao Ying's slightly depressed expression only flashed, as if what had happened before had never happened at all, and said to Lu Bu with a friendly smile.
After Lu Bu saw Cheng Yu's tragic situation, a trace of surprise flashed in Qin Xu's eyes, but the smile on his face was that anyone could see that Lu Bu was in a good mood now. Zhang Liao also relaxed the knuckles on the handle, and looked at Qin Xu's gaze full of kindness.
Although Confucianism occupied the mainstream at the end of the Han Dynasty, because the main way of writing was still bamboo slips, it was inconvenient to disseminate, and most of the books were controlled in the family, and a book of more than 5,000 words was only a few thin pages in later generations, but it was indeed full of a large oxcart now. What's more, this kind of book is often the foundation of the family, and it is impossible to spread it out.
"When I was in Luoyang, I was friends with Uncle Nephew, Uncle Jie was in trouble, was really sad, I heard that Uncle Daddy and Daughter were rescued by Wen Hou, it really made feel very relieved, and I will see each other in person when I have time!" Cao Ying is indeed a master of controlling the scene, and in a few words, he turned the awkward atmosphere in the banquet around, and no longer pretended to be drunk, and diligently persuaded Lu Bu to drink.
"It's all done by this kid and the daughter of Bo Jiao, and Bu Shi doesn't dare to take credit!" Lu Bu didn't know what he was thinking, and after hearing Cao Ying's words, he turned around and pushed the conversation on Qin Xu's body.
"Oh? The daughter of the uncle? Master Qin is actually familiar with Yan'er? Cao Ying showed a hint of surprise, and even a middle-aged man in Cao Jun's army showed a strange look.
Yan'er? Is it so affectionate?
By the way, in history, Cao Yan coveted Cai Yan, but because of his seniority or fear of Cai Yan's other identity, he didn't start, and some wild histories even said that Cai Yan was actually Cao Yan's first love and so on.
Regardless of those true and false anecdotes, although Lu Bu and his wife had the intention of matching Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi in their words, because Lu Lingqi was too young, it was rare that they had no objection to Cai Yan and Qin Xu. Qin Xu has done so many things, and he and Cai Yan are almost "nine deaths and one life" so that they can easily get close to Fang Ze, and they are working hard to get rid of the title of department-level cadre as soon as possible, but now they suddenly heard something strange from Cao Yan's words, how could they not make Qin Xu more vigilant.
"My brother-in-law is in the Wen Hou Army?" Without waiting for Qin Xu to answer Cao Ying's words, the scribe suddenly frowned and asked.
Qin Xu, who was suddenly robbed, was displeased, how could these people under Boss Cao like this tune? If it was in Lu Bu's army, who dared to interrupt and interject when Lu Bu was doing business, he would have pulled it out a long time ago.
The person in front of him had three long hairs and a thin face, although he was dressed as a scribe, he did not sit with Cao Ying's civil officials and strategists, and his eyes looking at Qin Xu were also full of vigilance and hostility.
Who are you? Did I provoke you? Why are you looking at me like you've been robbed of your wife? It can't be some special hobby, right? Qin Xu was a little hairy by this person, and he saluted Cao Ying, and asked, "General Cao, who is this 'strong man'?" ”
Without waiting for Cao Ying to reply, the middle-aged scribe looked at Qin Xu with an angry face, and said angrily: "In Xiawei!" Weber! ”
