Although the glass is expensive, Cao Cao's family is rich and wealthy, so he doesn't care about this value, but Wang Heng met him for the first time and gave him such a big gift, which made Cao Cao have more good feelings for Wang Heng.

Cao Cao picked up the glass and took a sip of tea, similar to the feeling of other people drinking tea for the first time, he drank it in one sip, his brows were slightly wrinkled, but his self-cultivation was still very good, and he didn't say anything, after a while, he took another sip, this time his face appeared different, he squinted his eyes slightly, and after a while, he said: "Well, this tea is good." ”

He said to Wang Heng again: "Brother Shuping, this tea is also made by you?" ”

Wang Heng nodded and said: "This is what I happened to see this method from an ancient book, and this tea is made according to law, and it really has a unique flavor." ”

Wang Heng said, handed the box of tea to Cao Cao and said, "This box of tea will be given to Brother Meng De." ”

Cao Cao took it happily and said with a smile: "For more than a year, I have been drinking the Wuling spring wine brewed by Shuping every day, reading the books you printed, and it seems that I will add one more thing in the future, that is, drinking the tea made by Shuping!" ”

The two of them burst into laughter again.

Cao Cao asked, "I don't know why Brother Shuping Xian came this time?" It shouldn't be a special trip to visit Cao, right? ”

Wang Heng told Cao Cao about his trip to Langya to hang his filial piety, Cao Cao had also heard Zhuge Jue's name, but he had no friendship with him, and when he heard that he died young, he was also embarrassed, lamenting that his talent was withering and he was a traitor.

Speaking of this topic, Cao Cao also became more and more resentful, and he was also full of complaints about what happened to him.

Wang Heng is a little funny, Cao Cao himself is indeed an upright official, not pretending, but his father Cao Song is a corrupt official, and most of the reason why the Cao family is rich is earned by his father. Today, Cao Song is an official and prosperous, and he is already one of the nine official residences.

According to Cao Cao's words, Cao Song can also be called a traitor.

And if it weren't for the face of Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng and father Cao Song, Cao Cao would not have been able to live so freely after causing so many disasters and offending so many dignitaries.

Wang Heng comforted Cao Cao and said: "Brother Meng De, you are a hero in the world, and your talent will not be buried in the imperial court." In my opinion, the court should soon reactivate you. ”

Cao Cao didn't care, and Wang Heng continued: "Brother Meng De, don't believe it, or let's make a bet, within a year, the imperial court will definitely reactivate Brother Meng De." ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, he was also a good gambler, he smiled: "I bet with Shuping, what is the bet?" ”

Wang Heng pondered for a moment and then said, "In this way, the bet is that the loser must promise the winner one thing." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "This bet is also interesting, okay, I'll bet with you!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao stretched out his right hand and swore an oath by high-five Wang Heng.

After sitting for a while, Wang Heng got up and said goodbye, he was already very satisfied to be able to see the heroic demeanor today.

Cao Cao knew that Wang Heng was really tired from running all the way like this and needed to rest well, so he didn't force Wang Heng to stay, he still held Wang Heng's hand and personally sent him out of the gate and said: "Today I was supposed to have a night talk with Shuping, but Shuping galloped all the way, too tired to stay." If you are returning to pass through Qian County, you will have a deep talk with Shuping. ”

Wang Heng said: "Heng's return journey probably can't pass through Qian County, I have to go to Chenliu for a trip, and I have something to do." There are still many times to see each other in the future, and Brother Meng De should not regret it. ”

Cao Cao lowered his voice and approached Wang Heng and said, "So, is it true that Mr. Bo is now in Wuling?" ”

Wang Heng was shocked in his heart, these heroes really have extraordinary abilities, he just casually mentioned that he wanted to go to Chenliu to do something, and he deduced that Cai Yong was there, of course, he went to Chenliu this time and Cai Yong had nothing to do with it, but the conclusion he deduced was correct.

Wang Heng was vigilant in his heart, but on the surface he was smiling and silent, Cao Cao laughed when he saw this: "Then I wish Shuping a smooth journey!" ”

**********

After a three-day long journey, Wang Heng and his entourage finally arrived in Langya Yangdu and went directly to Zhuge 's house.

When they came to Zhuge 's house, Wang Heng, Zheng Yi and others had already changed their mourning clothes and put on Ben Xuan, and someone welcomed them into the mourning hall.

The Zhuge family was already immersed in an atmosphere of mourning, but when someone reported that Wang Heng and Zheng Yi came together to pay tribute to Zhuge Jue, it still alarmed the people of the Zhuge family, and Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Liang came out together.

The identities of Wang Heng and Zheng Yi are not trivial, Wang Heng is now famous all over the world, needless to mention, Zheng Yi is also the only son of a generation of Confucian Zheng Xuan, they can come from thousands of miles away to pay their filial piety, which is a great respect for the Zhuge family.

In the cold and noisy, Wang Heng was also looking at a few people.

Zhuge Xuan is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, Zhuge Jin is about the same age as Wang Heng, and their figures are also relatively tall, Zhuge Xuan is nearly eight feet, and Zhuge Jin is also seven feet five inches.

And Zhuge Liang is only six or seven years old this year, Wang Heng pays the most attention to him, his appearance is very handsome, and his figure is tall among his peers, his face is very strict, and even with Qi Rong, like a mature little adult.

The eyes of the three people are a little red and swollen, in addition to grief, it is also because they have not rested well, and it is impossible to rest well if there is a funeral at home.

Wang Heng and Zheng Yi followed a few people into the mourning hall, Zhuge Jue's coffin had been buried, Wang Heng and Zheng Yi knelt down to his coffin, lit incense and candles, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang returned the salute, and Zhuge Jun, who was only three years old, also returned the salute to Wang Heng and Zheng Yi with the support of the elders.

Deng Zhan, Yao Gang and others, who were accompanied by Wang Heng, hung the clothes and quilts they brought on the mourning hall, which was called the gift of the Zuo, and the three Zhuge brothers thanked them again. And the curtain in the hall also emitted the cry of women, presumably Zhuge Jue's wife and daughter, this cry was heartbreaking, and people felt sorry for it.

Subsequently, Wang Heng and Zheng Yi sat under the hall, and Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang also knelt down to accompany each other.

Since Wang Heng and Zheng Yi came from afar, there were not many guests who came to pay their respects, and Zhuge Xuan and others could sit with the two for a while.

The Zhuge family is in mourning, although Wang Heng has something to say to the Zhuge brothers, it is not suitable to say it at this time, he can only say some things like condolences to comfort the Zhuge family.

Fortunately, he usually writes letters to the Zhuge family, presents Wuling spring wine and various printed books, Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang have a very good impression of him, and now he is thousands of miles away from filial piety, which shows that the love is deep and meaningful, which makes the Zhuge family even more moved.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the conversation between the several people was very harmonious.

The next day, when Wang Heng said goodbye to the Zhuge family, he vaguely said to Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang that if there is chaos in the north, you might as well go to Jingzhou.

This sentence makes the three of them all a rin, they are all highly intelligent, even if Zhuge Liang is only six or seven years old, he often pays attention to the general trend of the world, and they often discuss together, they have a common point of view that the chaos in the north is not far away, but I didn't expect Wang Heng to say the same now.

They still have some understanding of the situation in Jingzhou, they know that Jingzhou is now one of the rare pure lands in the world, and Wang Heng of Jingzhou is a family friend of their family, and now Wang Heng has vaguely sent out an invitation, so they have to consider this issue more formally, if they wait until it is really chaotic to think about it, it may be relatively late.

Seeing that they were all thoughtful, Wang Heng also stopped and left.

Of course, Wang Heng hopes that all the Zhuge family will go to Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang does not need to mention, a generation of famous people, perfect people through the ages, with him, Jingzhou will be the pillar of Jingzhou for the next few decades.

Zhuge Jin is also very intelligent, and later in Wu is also a generation of famous ministers, for Wu Guo has made great contributions, if he is willing to go to Jingzhou, it is also very good news for Jingzhou.

Although Zhuge Jun is not as famous as his two elder brothers, he has the excellent genes and education foundation of the Zhuge family, and he is at least a talent above the level.

Even their uncle Zhuge Xuan is also a famous man who reads poetry and books, and if he goes to Jingzhou, he will definitely be useful.

Of course, at this time, it is not good to talk too much, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Wang Heng believes that as long as he puts in more effort, he can fool the Zhuge family to Jingzhou.

The next day, Wang Heng returned to Linyi Wang's house, although his body grew up here, but since he crossed, he returned here for the first time.

Although it was the first time to return here, Wang Heng still retained the memory of his predecessor in his body, and he had no strangeness at all, and he came to his door familiarly.

Wang Ei's family has moved to Jingzhou, and this courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, but there are still people who clean it from time to time, so there is no appearance of withering.

Wang Heng asked people to put down their luggage, and asked Deng Zhan, Yao Gang and others to pack up the house, and then went to the neighboring courtyard alone to meet his father Wang Rong. Since he returned to Langya this time, of course he has to come to meet the elders.

Wang Rong is Wang Rong's younger brother, and above him, there is an older sister and a brother who died young, so he is more than ten years younger than Wang Rong, and he is only more than thirty years old this year.

Wang Rong also inherited the Wang family's education, and his knowledge is quite good, but he has an indifferent temperament and has been living in seclusion, anyway, the Wang family is quite an ancestral business, enough to support his family, so that he can study and hunt at home.

When Wang Heng walked into Wang Rong's courtyard, Wang Rong was reading in the shade of a tree, he leaned on a bamboo couch, holding a printed copy of "The Biography of Spring and Autumn Valley Liang" and reading it aloud, shaking his head and shaking his head, very devoted, on the side of the bamboo couch, there was a two or three-year-old child, kneeling and sitting in a regular manner, listening to Wang Rong read.

The subordinate who brought Wang Heng in stepped forward to report to Wang Rong and said that Wang Heng was back, Wang Rong put down the book, looked at Wang Heng in surprise and said, "Shuping is back!" ”

Wang Heng stepped forward to bow down on the seat where the young child was kneeling, and then knelt down with the young child and said, "Uncle, is he well?" ”

Wang Rong nodded and said, "Okay, good!" ”

Wang Heng looked at the young boy and said, "This is Brother Xiang?" ”

Wang Rong nodded.

This young boy is Wang Rong's son Wang Xiang, and later the protagonist of the twenty-four filial piety stories Lying Bingqiu Carp, and also the famous minister of Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty, Langya Wang really became the country's top door valve, and it was from his hands that the foundation was laid, but at this time, he was only a three-year-old child.

Wang Heng took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Wang Xiang, but Wang Xiang didn't take it, he looked at his father.

Wang Rong nodded and said, "Xiang'er, take it, thank you Brother Shuping!" ”

Wang Xiang accepted the jade pendant at this time, and bowed down to Wang Heng and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Shuping!" ”

This famous figure in history is really different from ordinary people, at a young age, he seems to be more young and old than Zhuge Liang. Wang Heng sighed in his heart.

Wang Rongwen said: "Shuping, but you have already been to Yangdu?" ”

Wang Heng said respectfully: "I have already been there, and I arrived in Yangdu yesterday afternoon." ”

Wang Rong said with emotion: "It's a pity, Brother Jungong is a humble gentleman, but he can't live forever!" How unjust is God! ”

Wang Heng nodded and said, "Yes!" It is a pity that Mr. Jungong died young! ”

Wang Rong sighed for a while, and then said to Wang Heng: "Shuping, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you are already famous all over the world, and you are still so tall, you are about to catch up with me!" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Rong's eyes were full of smiles, and it was obvious that he was also very proud of this wonderful nephew.

Wang Hengqian said: "My nephew is lucky. ”

Wang Rong said: "With a child like you, it seems that the day of my Langya Wang's revival is not far away!" ”

Wang Heng said solemnly: "My nephew will do his best!" ”

In this era, for many scholars, family interests were higher than a qiē, and many scholars' lifelong ambition was to shine on the lintel. The Langya Wang clan has been prosperous in history, but in recent years it has gradually declined, and the top scholar clan such as Runan Yuan and Yingchuan Xun cannot be compared at all.

And Wang Heng must also meet his uncle's expectations, otherwise, he will be unfilial.

Obviously, Wang Rong was still very satisfied with Wang Heng's answer, he asked Wang Heng about his situation in Wuling again, and he was also very happy to learn that Wang Heng was now in good health and political affairs.

Wang Heng asked Wang Rong again: "Uncle, where is my uncle?" The nephew went to greet her. ”

Wang Heng is talking about Wang Rong's wife, Wang Xiang's biological mother Yu, Yu is Wang Heng's uncle, Wang Heng is here, and he must ask her for peace.

As soon as he mentioned Yu's, Wang Rong shook his head and sighed, it turned out that since Yu's gave birth to Wang Xiang, his health has not been very good, and now he has to rest in bed most of the time.

Wang Heng estimated that Yu should have hurt his vitality after giving birth to Wang Xiang and became ill in the next month. He asked, "Didn't you invite Langzhong?" ”

Wang Rong said: "I invited many Langzhong, and I took countless decoctions, but it didn't get better. ”

Wang Heng remembered the story of Wang Xiang lying on the ice and begging for carp, Wang Xiang in the story, his biological mother died early, his father married his stepmother Zhu, Zhu was very bad to Wang Xiang, and it can even be said that he was abused, but Wang Xiang was filial to his stepmother, and this comparison made him enter the twenty-four filial piety characters.

It seems that Wang Xiang's biological mother Yu should have died of this disease.

Wang Heng looked at the young boy with pink makeup beside him, his eyebrows were vaguely similar to his own, and when he thought of the suffering he would have to suffer like that in the future, Wang Heng felt very unbearable.

After Wang Heng pondered for a while, he said to Wang Rong: "Uncle, why don't you take your uncle to Jingzhou, my Jingzhou doctor Cao Zhangji is the holy hand of medicine, especially good at gynecology, if he treats his uncle, he will definitely cure the disease!" ”

Zhang Ji is indeed good at gynecological diseases, if even he can't cure Yu's disease, then Yu's fate should be extinct.

Wang Rong hesitated: "Your uncle is not in good health, she is thousands of miles away from Langya to Wuling, she can't sit in a carriage!" ”

Wang Heng said: "This matter is easy to hear, I have a Tongjiang merchant in Jingzhou every month to deliver to the elk family in Donghai County, their merchant ships are more than 500 stone big ships, in the water is very stable, and so on another month or two, the weather is cool, I let them come to Linyi to pick up my uncle and go to Jingzhou, uncle and brother Xiang can also go together, but also take a look at the scenery of Jingzhou." ”

Wang Rong nodded slowly, Wang Heng's words are still very feasible, he and Yu are married and have a very deep relationship, he has also found a lot of doctors for Yu in the past two years, hoping to cure Yu, but unfortunately there is no effect.

This nephew of mine has a great reputation now, and he is also very stable in doing things, so presumably the candidate he recommended will not be wrong.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Rong finally made up his mind, nodded and agreed to Wang Heng's proposal, and Wang Heng made an appointment with him to send a boat to pick up Wang Rong's family when the weather was cool in August.

After confirming this matter, Wang Heng couldn't help but look at Wang Xiang beside him, if his mother was cured, maybe there would be no such thing as him lying on the ice and begging for carp in the future, and he might not be among the twenty-four filial pieties, but if Wang Xiang was allowed to choose by himself, he would probably choose to save his mother, right?

Wang Rong asked Wang Heng again: "Then when will you go back to Wuling?" ”

Wang Heng replied: "My nephew is going to stay at home for a day, and he will go back to Wuling tomorrow, there are still some people to visit along the way, and there are some things to do." ”

Wang Rong nodded and said, "It's okay, in more than two months, we can see each other again." ”

Wang Heng said goodbye to Wang Rong, and went to visit the elders of the clan one by one, although he has few direct elders in Langya, but there are still a lot of clan fathers and ancestors, this time he returned to Langya, of course he was going to visit.

Wang Heng's reputation is now quite big, and this time he returned to Langya to return to his hometown, so the Wang clan people came to meet Wang Heng, envious people, flattering people, Wang Heng also knew that this was human nature, so he didn't care, and greeted the clansmen one by one, the etiquette was very thoughtful, which also won the unanimous praise of the clansmen, saying that Wang Heng did not forget his roots.
