The next day, Ao Lie moved back to Cai Mansion to live.

Early in the morning, guests began to come to the door to send congratulatory gifts for Ao Lie's wedding. In fact, these congratulatory gifts should have been sent at the wedding ceremony yesterday, but because Liu Hong personally officiated for Ao Lie's marriage and let Ao Lie live in the palace of his relatives, everyone had to send the congratulatory gifts to Cai's mansion today.

Among the guests, a young man with a short stature and a dark face aroused Ao Lie's idea. In the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, appearance was very important, those who looked good-looking and handsome were easy to become famous or officials, and those who were ugly or even obscene, even if they were talented, it was difficult to get ahead.

But the guests who came today are all people with status and status, and since this short young man can come, he must also have a certain status. So Ao Lie walked up to the man, clasped his fists and saluted: "A new person to Luoyang, who knows very little about the ministers and ministers, dare to ask the name of Brother Tai?" ”

The young man touched the short beard on his chin and replied with a smile: "A certain is Cao Cao, a military captain, and I am afraid that my cheap name will not be able to enter Ao Huwei's honorable ears." ”

"You turned out to be Cao Mengde?" Ao Lie looked at the thin black young man in front of him with great shock.

Cao Cao asked suspiciously, "Is a certain reputation very loud?" So much so that Ao Huwei turned out to be famous and discolored? ”

Isn't it loud? You are one of the three overlords in the future! Ao Lie thought in his heart. However, now Cao Cao is only one of the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, and he really doesn't have much fame. Ao Lie has always disliked Cao Cao in history, and he can't say anything about it, maybe it was because he later coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so that Ao Lie didn't catch a cold.

"Meng De is not afraid of power, and uses a five-colored rod and staff to kill Jian Tu, how can such an act not be admirable?" Ao Lie quickly concealed the shock in his heart, and said as if nothing happened.

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Cao's virtue is far inferior to Ao Huwei, how can the matter of killing Jian Tu with a rod be compared to the general's power in the northern frontier, and he has repeatedly defeated the Xiongnu and Wuhuan?" ”

Although Ao Lie was very jealous of Cao Cao in his heart, he did not show any abnormalities on his face: "Meng De praises falsely, Lie really doesn't dare to be." ”

Just as the two were talking, a strange tone sounded: "Oh, isn't this Cao Dianjun, who is also qualified to come to congratulate him." It seems that the threshold for Cai Yilang and Ao Huwei is really low. ”

In a word, if you offend three people, then the person who speaks is either a powerful minister who overwhelms the government and the opposition, or an out-and-out idiot. At yesterday's wedding, the powerful ministers themselves saw it, and no one's voice matched the voice in front of him, and there was no doubt that the person who came was an out-and-out idiot. Ao Lie gave such a definition to the person who came in his heart.

Turning his head, he saw a young man about the same as Cao Cao, wearing a red brocade robe with a hundred flowers, and his face was pale and white. Ao Lie just wanted to ask, but Cao Cao preemptively said: "It turns out that Brother Highway has arrived, and he is disrespectful." ”

It's Yuan Shu! No wonder he speaks in such an arrogant tone, he is simply an idiot among idiots! Ao Lie smiled and asked Yuan Shu: "Brother Highway said that the threshold is low, I don't know what position Brother Highway occupies now?" "According to historical records, Yuan Shu only made his career before and after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and he had no strength before that, but he relied on the good family background of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family to become famous.

was asked by Ao Lie, Yuan Shu was speechless, he is not as good as Cao Cao now, Cao Cao is also a military captain, he is just a filial piety!

Seeing that Yuan Shu was speechless, Cao Cao hurriedly played a round field: "Ao Huwei doesn't know, Brother Highway has not been out for a long time, and now it is only the position of filial piety, but the third prince of the Yuan family is famous all over the world, plus Brother Highway is talented, sooner or later he will inevitably be an important minister of the court." ”

Cao Cao was a shrewd man, and although he was ridiculed by Yuan Shu, he didn't care at all, and instead excused Yuan Shu. Ao Lie glanced at Cao Cao, and his jealousy of him deepened a little. Such an old and ambitious opponent, can it not be made Ao Lie jealous? That's right, since he went to Beijing to meet Liu Hong and Liu Xie this time, Ao Lie has completely positioned himself in the position of auxiliary Han Nengchen, firstly, because he has a good impression of Liu Xie, and secondly, he really has no interest in the throne. As long as he can make the people live a good life, he doesn't care who is the emperor. Therefore, now Ao Lie regards Cao Cao as a potential enemy. Of course, he wouldn't let Cao Cao feel this.

"Really? Then so-and-so will wait and see what Brother Highway will do after the most difficult thing. For Yuan Shu, who was arrogant and almost idiotic, Ao Lie was not polite at all.

Yuan Shu heard Ao Lie's sarcasm, and couldn't help but have a seizure, and a young man who was slightly older than Yuan Shu walked over next to him, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yuan Shu, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are here, and my uncle is looking for you everywhere, so don't go over quickly." Yuan Shu saw the person coming, and after hearing this sentence, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

After the visitor saw Yuan Shu walking away, he saluted Ao Lie and Cao Cao with his fists and said: "The two of you laughed, my brother Highway is still young, and my uncle loves him on weekdays, and he has developed a somewhat arrogant character, Yuan Shao apologized to the two of them on behalf of the Highway." ”

It turned out to be Yuan Shao, and he was a big man in the future.

Cao Cao hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Brother Benchu doesn't have to be like this, Brother Highway hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, so why don't you forgive or not." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't mean to turn his face, Ao Lie didn't know what to say, and said to Yuan Shao: "Brother Ben doesn't have to worry about it, everyone is a young person, and it's okay to be noisy together." ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "In this case, tomorrow a certain person will hold a banquet in the Phoenix Tower and entertain the two, which should be regarded as making amends to the two." At that time, a certain will also invite several talented people of the same age to come together, and hope that the two of them will appreciate the light. ”

It wasn't until Ao Lie and Cao Cao both nodded in agreement that Yuan Shao nodded and turned to leave.

"Mengde, what do you think of these brothers?" Ao Lie asked Cao Cao in a low voice. Cao Cao frowned and looked at the direction in which Yuan Shao had left, and only after a moment did he speak: "Yuan Highway is narrow-minded, and it is difficult to achieve great things; Yuan Benchu was wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and he was not the talent of the hero. ”

Hearing Cao Cao's evaluation, Ao Lie couldn't help laughing, laughed for a long time before stopping, and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De's eyes are like torches, with this alone, his future achievements will definitely far surpass the Yuan brothers!" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand and signaled Ao Lie not to talk nonsense. The fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, if this is heard by the people in the Yuan family or the students under the door, I am afraid that I will lose my head. Cao Cao didn't want to die before his ambition was rewarded.

"Mo Han, Mo Han, it turns out that you are here, and it is so hard for people to find you." Cai Yong's voice interrupted Ao Lie and Cao Cao's conversation.

Seeing that his father-in-law came to look for him, Ao Lie hugged his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, I will leave for the time being, and I will see you in the Phoenix Tower tomorrow." Cao Cao bowed his hand in return: "Ao Huwei, let's go get busy first, just drink here yourself." ”

Nodding, Ao Lie walked towards Cai Yong. Cai Yong grabbed Ao Lie's arm and said eagerly: "Your father and a few friends are drinking in the back hall, and I asked you to come over to visit." Ao Lieqi said: "Friend? Why hasn't the son-in-law heard that his father still has friends in Luoyang? ”

Cai Yong said with a smile: "Don't you hear that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water?" Your father is a low-key person, and those who can become friends with him are almost all of the same temper, and it is not uncommon for you to know the way, but when you get to the back hall and do not be rude, several of them are very famous talents in the world. ”

"Oh? Who are they? Ao Lie continued to ask. When you go, you know the way, go quickly. Cai Yong didn't give an answer, but sped up his pace and pulled Ao Lie to the back hall.

In the back hall of Cai's mansion, several people dressed as scribes were pushing cups and changing lamps with Liu Yu, chatting and laughing. Cai Yong and Ao Lie walked into the back hall one after another, and when one of them saw it, Da Lu smiled and said, "Brother Bo is back." ”

Cai Yong smiled, didn't speak, walked over and sat down. Ao Lie stood in the middle of the room and bowed to several scribes: "Mo Han greets all gentlemen." ”

Liu Yu smiled and pointed to the person sitting on his left side, only to see that this person was nearly fifty years old, with a majestic posture and three long beards, Liu Yu smiled and said: "Lie'er, this is Shang Shulang Zhong Xiang Zhong Yuanwei, and he is a friend of his father; He pointed to a slightly younger man on the right of Lu, only in his forties, but with a long figure: "This is Du Ji Du Bohou, the captain of Huqiang, and he has been friends with his father for decades. Then Liu Yu pointed over in turn and introduced to Ao Lie: "Yuan Wei's side is the great Confucian Kangcheng Gong who founded the Zhengxue school; Bo Hou is beside Mr. Shui Jing, who is virtuous. ”

Good guy, I don't know if I don't know the way, I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out that my father still had so much energy! Zhong Xuan, Du Ji, Zheng Xuan, Sima Hui, these four people, take out any of them, they are all famous Confucians, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, an era of respecting Confucianism, the four of them are enough to set off an academic storm!

Ao Lie hurriedly bent down and saluted again: "The kid doesn't know that it is the four masters, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Sima Hui said with a smile: "Heroic, dragon and phoenix among people!" Good, good, good. ”

Du Ji, who has a good relationship with Sima Hui, joked: "You find a good gentleman and say everything, but in my opinion, this time you are right, Mo Han is indeed good." ”

Zhong Miao smiled and beckoned Ao Lie to take a seat, and then said: "Mo Han doesn't have to be polite, and he doesn't have to be called Mr. ”

Ao Lie hurriedly humbled a few words, and even claimed that he didn't dare.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Just indulge once today, let's talk about our own things, we don't have to have many scruples!" ”

Sima Hui smiled again and said, "Okay, good, that's good." ”

After Sima Hui's series of applause, several other people also laughed, not caring about those red tapes, drinking and composing poems with Ao Lie, so happy!

Gradually, several people were attracted by some of Ao Lie's unique opinions, and Ao Lie often inadvertently quoted scriptures to say one or two famous sentences that were circulated in later generations, which made several Confucians applaud. Sometimes I will express my opinion on a certain matter with Ao Lie, and debate with Ao Lie, even if he is defeated or lost by Ao Lie's argument at the end, he will gladly accept it, and then continue to the next topic and continue the debate.

The cultural heritage of more than 2,000 years in Ao Lie's previous life gradually convinced these Hongru at that time, and for a while, including Liu Yu, they all temporarily forgot their identity and laughed with Ao Lie.
