Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although my uncle didn't think of any 2,000 stones that could be asked, Zhuge Jin still insisted on going to Xudu, after all, the road was stepped out by himself, maybe he could bump into a few fathers and uncles, such as Fan Pu and the like, even if the official was not very high, he might be able to speak in front of some important members of the court. Therefore, he straightened up his outfit and came all the way from Xiangyang to Xudu.
When he arrived in Xudu, he first looked for Fan Pu and told him about his wishes, and by the way, he also mentioned that his brother had a relationship with Shi Yilang. Fan Pu said I can ask my brother-in-law to recommend you, but you still have to explore Shixun's way first, it is Hongfu who is now not only a servant of two thousand stones, but also a descendant of Zheng Kangcheng, Taixue is controlled by Zhengmen's disciples, if he is willing to recommend you, your future study path will be much smoother.
Zhuge Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurried to go to Shifu to meet him. Fan Pu said, it is the servant who is now in Guanzhong, and he is not in the capital, but you can go and hand over the name thorn first to show your sincerity, and stay with me with peace of mind, and it is not too late to ask for a meeting when he returns.
The cause and effect are like this, it was Xun who heard it, it turned out that Zhuge Ziyu was studying, a good thing, he couldn't be literate, but he was born a smart person, maybe he could take the road of scripture and learning, and he could also contribute to Zhengmen. Besides, I recommended him, and it can be regarded as a favor, and when Zhuge Liang grows up in two years, I can order him to write a letter to call his brother over to school.
Don't look at the original history, Zhuge Liang refused to cross Jiangdong to help his brother, that was because he was mature in his thinking, and he didn't look down on the little foundation of Dongwu, if we fished it first when he was just an adult and immature, would he still be able to run away in the future? Besides, what kind of virtue is Liu Bei now? If you want a place without a territory, if you want a reputation and no reputation, I don't believe that Zhuge Liang is still willing to assist him - can Liu Xuande still run Xu Du to "learn from three times"?
Therefore, Xun was full of promises, and immediately wrote a letter of recommendation. It is said that Sima Yi's third brother Sima Fu is also studying in Taixue at this time, and he was also recommended by Xun, and he is quite proud in his heart, I am Sima on the left and Zhuge on the right. Lu Su was among them...... It's a pity that Sima is not Zhongda, and Zhuge is not Kong Ming......
Zhuge Jin was full of wine and food, and went away happily with the book of recommendation.
After sending Zhuge Jin away, Wei Dan handed over a thick stack of plates for the banquet, and asked casually: "I don't know when the lord plans to go out of the city to build a paper workshop?" Shi Xun looked at it and said with a wry smile: "I also want to go out of the city to see the concubine and son, but the affairs are too cumbersome......" suddenly turned to a piece of wood. He was stunned - alas, when did this person come to Xudu?
I saw that the signature on the piece was: General Ning Huai, Hou Dan, Yang Xu Tan, Guan Nei.
Shi Xun called two doormen who had been staying in Xu Du to inquire, and got a reply, saying that just two months ago, the imperial court issued an edict to worship Xu Tan as General Ning Huai. Sealed the customs and asked him to go to Beijing to report on his work, but as soon as he entered Beijing, he would not let him go back, Cao Gong personally designated the mansion, and ordered Cao Bao to send the Xu family into the capital.
It was Xun Xin who said don't ask, Cao Cao is going to restrain Xu Tan and swallow his Danyang soldiers. At the same time, it also eliminates the potter's possible independent tendencies - I can't help but laugh: "This is a good plan." A doorman hurriedly echoed: "The minister has a friend in Shangshutai, and I recently heard that he intends to summon Tao to make the king too often to replace the prince." Shi Xun couldn't help but twist his beard and think, if Cao Cao also encircled the pottery merchants into Xudu, then who would he send to do the Xuzhou Assassin History? Do your father-in-law and brothers have a chance?
He wanted to step down and think about the situation in Xuzhou in the post-Dow era, but he didn't know why, but there was always a figure in front of him. And that white as jade...... Well, Xu Tan's family members have all been connected to the capital, so if you want to go to his family's banquet, will you have a chance to meet the hostess?
It was approved immediately, and he will go to Xu Tan's mansion for a banquet tomorrow.
I woke up early the next morning, washed up, and dressed neatly. Yesun took a car to General Ninghuai's mansion in Xu Tanxingai. The door was reported to enter, and Xu Tan opened the door of the mansion and greeted him in person. The two of them are a mid-lancer and a miscellaneous general. They all worshiped the title of Marquis of Guannei, and their rank was comparable, so Xun hurriedly got out of the car, and he didn't even dare to say it. Xu Tan laughed "haha": "You and I are old people, no need to be polite." Stretching out his big hand, he grabbed Shixun's wrist and dragged him towards the door.
It's Xunxin who said that your brother's enthusiasm is a little too much, and the two of us have met once or twice in Xuzhou, how can there be any friendship? I came here because I was greedy for your wife's beauty - in fact, I may not dare to have any covetous thoughts, but it is good to see you at a glance, if I only see you ugly, I am sick - and you not only set up a banquet to invite each other, but also so enthusiastic, the so-called "courtesy to others, must have something to ask", what are you greedy for me?
Xu Tan let Shixun into the main hall, sat down with the guests, and exchanged a few casual greetings. It seems that this general Danyang of Xuzhou is completely rough and doesn't know how to speak, but after Xun came in, he quietly squinted his eyes and searched everywhere, and said in his heart, Will Gan be willing to come out to see me? So when Xu Tan said a word, he replied, and he didn't bother to chat, and he looked a little cold.
Fortunately, at this time, the maids came with the food table, and Shi Xun took a look at it, it seemed to be quite rich, and ...... Is this the girl Xu Tan brought from Xuzhou? Or are you looking for it in Xuchang? It's all above the posture of a middle-aged person, and they are full of pearls and emeralds, dressed in ayaluo, and they are dressed quite high-end - Lao Xu himself is ugly, and his taste is not bad.
There was a lot of food, and the two maids couldn't bring it at all, and there were only food utensils on the dining table, and there were several women in the back, either carrying food boxes, or holding wine poppies, and only one woman had empty hands. When Shixun saw it, he couldn't help but feel dry and hot, and he couldn't help but say: Sure enough, the cow dung has been seen, will the flowers be far away?
Quickly stood up and saluted, and said, "Mrs. Xu." "Xu Tan is quite puzzled, and said that most of the maids in my house have been touched, so they are all dressed very well, Gan is still unhappy about this, just I look at the past, I don't see how much better the wife is dressed than the maid, how can Xun recognize it at a glance? - "Did the waiter know Neiko?" ”
Shi Xun hurriedly explained: "In the past, in Xuzhou, after the assassination of Tao Gong Xianmu, Xun once went to the inner room to inquire, Mrs. Shi Zun was not married, and served beside Tao Mu, and there was a relationship. ”
Xu Tan nodded and stretched out his hand to greet Gan: "Since you are an old man, you can come to see each other." "It's Xunxin who said that you are not talking nonsense, didn't you call your wife up to meet me? Is it just to help set up the case, cloth dishes, and pour wine? Hurriedly asked, "Why don't you sit down and eat together?" ”
At that time, men and women did not sit at the same table, and they rarely ate together—husband and wife said otherwise. But this is not like the absolute taboo of the relevant etiquette and religion like the later generations, and it is not impossible to make an exception, and since the wife of the other person came to the hall to meet him in person, it is normal to politely say "sit down and eat together".
Of course, it is normal for Gan to refuse-she put her hands on her waist and bend her knees slightly: "How dare a cheap concubine eat with a gentleman......" It was the first time that Xun had heard Gan speak--she had always been silent in front of Tao Qian's sickbed before--I felt that this voice was soft and glutinous, not like a warbler's cry, but like a luan's song...... Well, no one has heard the cry of Luan Feng, but theoretically the bird is large, so it is not like a yellow warbler, although it is crisp but not tactful enough. Gan's voice is not very clear, but it is very soft, and it sounds like drinking mellow mash, which makes people rejoice from the bottom of their hearts.
Yeshun reminded himself in his heart: Don't be fascinated, let alone lose your temper. Anyway, in the previous life in film and television dramas, what female voice haven't you heard? From the coquettish "Ya Kill Butterfly" to the rough "Oba", the people who speak the language of people and the language of birds are all familiar with all kinds of voices, right? Why did this Gan just say a word, and you will be soft all over?
Look at this Gan again, she is basically plain on her body, with a silver hairpin in her bun, and her skin as white as jade, the whole thing is dizzy - Liu Bei also dressed her like this in history, so she can be juxtaposed with the jade man......
Gan continued: "The concubine knows how to cook, and she makes a few small dishes for the waiter, hoping to be able to eat. "Is Xun Xin saying what, you cook the dishes yourself? Ah, I'm really good today, I'm going to have to taste it carefully. But then I was alerted to another awakening in my heart: not only did I call my wife out to meet me, but I also asked my wife to cook for me herself, why did Xu Tan flatter me so much? The more you pay, the more you want to get, I have to be careful, I can't be confused by beauty, and I fall into his trap!
Besides, this beauty is your wife, and I can only salivate for the sake of it, if your concubine or maidservant, or even sister or niece, it makes sense to give it to me directly! Just let me come to your house to feast my eyes? This is an authentic ......
Just thinking about it, the food table was all set, Shi Xun looked down, the food utensils were quite exquisite, and then the first dish served was...... What do I rely on here!
Theoretically, the first dish should be vegetables, the common one is lettuce, occasionally copied with boiling water, or simply cooked. Yes Xun recognized this dish, the main ingredient is ginger, that is, amaranth that is often said in later generations, and it is placed on a small plate on its stomach, which must be cooked. But the question is, this doesn't look like it's cooked, what are the little dots in the soup reflecting the sunlight outside the hall? This, this, this is oil flowers, this is clearly a fried amaranth!
He couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks without any politeness, and took a bite of amaranth into his mouth—ah, yes, it tasted sweet and smooth, and reminded him of the fried amaranth that his mother had made when he was a child in his previous life. I think that life was not very rich at that time, and the family was close to the suburbs, and the whole family often went to the wasteland to pick wild amaranth, and when I came back, my mother would shoot some garlic cloves and fry a big pot......
The sun and the moon shuttle, and more importantly, the reversal of time and space, how many years have I not tasted this? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but moisten my eyes and almost burst into tears.
