Yes Xun came to the bedroom arranged for Chen Deng - it is said that he usually goes to other people's houses as a guest, and there must be no topic or topic, and the guest and host sit and chat for a while? This Mr. Chen Yuanlong is good, after meeting the brothers at the gate of the village, he didn't even say a word about the scene of "the journey is tired and needs to rest", and followed the servant to find a bedroom, as if he was not going to a friend's village, but the hotel he patronized for the first time.
Shi Xun came to the door to take a look, the door was closed in broad daylight, and he also suspected that Chen Deng was really tired and had already laid down - although the scholar should not sleep during the day, even if the other party just leaned and took a nap, it was inconvenient for him to disturb him. Look again, the weather is quite cold, but the windows are propped up, and this posture is for lighting, not like sleeping. So he was bold, coughed outside the door, and arched his hand and said, "A certain surname is Mingxun, and I have something to ask to see Chen Ling." β
"Kara", the door was opened by the servant named Chen Deng, and the servant saluted and said, "My master is packing his bags, is there anything important?" If not, please come back later. Shixun pretended that there was something important, so the servant turned around and raised his hands: "So, please come in." β
I rely on this in my house Alas, how big is the house, you don't even want to come to the door to greet you in person, Xu Yan is right, this guy really doesn't know how to be hospitable at all. Shi Xun sneered while stepping into the house, and sure enough, he saw Chen Deng sitting under the window, unfolding a few burdens, and digging out the brochure.
It was Xun who saluted him, Chen Deng put down the bamboo slip in his hand, returned the salute casually, and said expressionlessly: "I am the head of Dongyang, not the county order." β
In the Han Dynasty, the county was divided into large and small, the lord of the large county was the order, and the lord of the small county was the long, but just like the later generations in informal occasions, the deputy position was generally called as the main title, omitting the word "deputy".
Looking at Chen Deng's expression, he was clearly saying: "If you have something to say, let it go, I'm still busy." "Yes Xun doesn't care, since he can enter the door, of course he has to follow the rules, so he refuses to speak first. It wasn't until the servant took a mat and laid it out in front of Chen Deng, that he took off his shoes and sat down, that he took a long breath and began to plan the set of almostβ
"A certain time ago in Beihai, I heard Mr. Chen's name from Kong Wenju, so I came to meet ......"
When Chen Deng heard this, his eyelids jumped slightly, his eyes were Xun, and he asked him: "Kong Beihai actually knows that there is me Chen Deng in the world?" What does he say? Shixun couldn't help laughing in his heart: "There is a door! β
It is recorded in the history books that Chen Deng claimed to respect several people the most, including Kong Rong. Kong Rong became famous very early, when he was a child, what made pears, met the famous man Li Yingah and other anecdotes, that was after becoming famous was excavated by the ancestors of the "dog cub team", but he dared to harbor Zhang Jian when he was sixteen years old, and after the incident, he and his brother Kong Bao, as well as their old mother, fought to confess their sins and die, and they became very famous among scholars. Therefore, Kong Rong is really famous all over the world, and Chen Deng at this time, he can't even say that he is famous in Xuzhou.
Of course, there was also Liu Bei who also asked, "Does Kong Beihai also know that there is me in the world", but Liu Bei, according to later words, was just an "old ge" (veteran egg) at this time, although he would achieve 2,000 stones by fate, his reputation among scholars and doctors was not as good as Chen Deng. Let's put it this way, if Kong Rong is compared to a phoenix, then Liu Bei is a crow, Chen Deng is a little peacock, although there is a difference in rank, but whether you say to a crow or a little peacock, the phoenix can afford you, and both of them will have to smile.
In fact, Kong Rong didn't mention Chen Deng to Shi Xun, but it didn't matter, anyway, Chen Deng couldn't go to Beihai to find Kong Rong for verification in a short time, and even if he verified it in the future, Kong Rong Bacheng would nod along with the words, saying yes, yes, I praised you - although Kong Rong is also proud in his bones, his humble appearance is very sufficient, which is completely different from Chen Deng's person.
Therefore, Shi Xun casually made up nonsense, saying: "Kong Wen lifts the clouds: Chen Yuanlong is a famous man of Xu Fang, like a hidden dragon in the abyss, once he flies into the sky, the future is unlimited, and it is a pity to ......"
Shixun's short passage is also very particular. First of all, he directly addressed Kong Rong's cousin, rather than his official position - either as minister of state, or as a prince, or as a "Beihai" - which shows that he and Kong Rong are equals. Of course, he didn't dare to call it that in front of Kong Rong, but in theory, it was good, after Duchang broke the siege, didn't Kong Rong take him and Tai Shici's hands and say to people everywhere, "This is my little friend"? That is to admit that Yexun is his friend, and between friends, of course, they can call each other by words.
It was Xun who called Kong Rong the word on the table, which invisibly elevated his identity - don't you Chen Deng respect Kong Rong very much? So for Kong Rong's friends, he should always be a little polite. At the same time, when Shi Xun made up Kong Rong's words, he pretended that Kong Rong also called Chen Deng's cousin, and generally the elders may call the cousin to the younger generation to show politeness and closeness, but when he talks about it to others, he only calls him by his name, if he also calls the cousin in the latter case, it means that he also attaches great importance to this person and has three points of respect. What's the matter, I'm right, Kong Rong can afford you, don't you have to show some due respect for the Lao Tzu who brought this?
In the end, it was Xun who deliberately sold a pass, waiting for Chen Deng to ask, so that the initiative to speak would be completely in his own hands, and he wouldn't-"That's it?" It's not a big deal, I'm still busy, so please do it. β
As he expected, as soon as the word "pity" came out, Chen Deng unconsciously leaned forward slightly and asked him, "What's the pity?" Shi Xun smiled slightly, and continued to make up nonsense: "It's a pity that you are arrogant and rugged, and it is inevitable that you will be ridiculed by ordinary people." β
Chen Deng arched his hand in the sky and sighed: "Kong Beihai really knows me. β
Shi Xun took the opportunity to move on to the next topic: "Since Kong Wenju values Mr. Chen so much, so he came to pay his respects and asked for some benefit - I heard that Mr. Chen was in Dongyang to care for orphans and widows, work hard to cultivate and weave, and enrich the warehouse, so Tao Yuanjun wants to be the captain of the agricultural school. β
This is the means by which he is serious. Because he thought that although Chen Deng was blind and arrogant, he had been mixed in the officialdom for so many years after all, whether it was under Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu or Cao Cao, he was quite important, and he would not be a guy who didn't know how to communicate at all - if it was that kind of goods, I am afraid that he would not have the ability to be an official at all, so he had to go to the mountains and live in seclusion like Guan Ning. Xu Yan was empty and exaggerated, so Chen Deng deliberately embarrassed him, what if he lowered his body first and asked him questions? Shouldn't it be a thousand miles away?
Under normal circumstances, a proud person must like to show off, and he is also a teacher, so I will come to you like a student to ask for advice, and maybe you will want to talk to me about it.
In fact, Chen Deng is not a good teacher, but suddenly a kid who can talk to Kong Rong's peers came and asked him for advice, and he happened to ask about his most proud abilities and achievements, and Chen Deng couldn't help but give a lecture. The so-called "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", you don't wear the halo of "celebrity" like Xu Yan, swaggering over to ask me to treat each other as equals, and pouting and opening your mouth to ask me to speak first - of course, at this time, Xu Yan was eating rice in the Yanzhou state capital, and it is estimated that he has not met Chen Deng yet.
So Chen Deng listened to Shi Xun's inquiry, so he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his side and handed it to him, and said in his mouth: "The importance of farming and the key to cultivation are all in this book." Shi Xun took a look at the title - "The Book of Victory", and said in his heart, hey, I have heard of this book, but I really haven't read it.
Pan Shengzhi was a famous agronomist in the late Western Han Dynasty who summed up the "district field method...... Well, about this person, Shi Xun has known this before, and as for what is called "Ward Tian Law", he has no concept at all.
Shi Xun untied the bamboo slip to flip through it, and at the same time beat a drum in his heart: "I'll ask you a question, what does it mean that you give me this book directly?" Do you want me to quit and go to self-study? No, Lao Tzu hasn't finished speaking, how can he withdraw from the army? Thinking of this, he raised his head: "'Paper...... The book is shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. 'It's almost the end of the year, and the state government is closed, so it is better for Mr. Chen to temporarily live in the house until the new year. β
Chen Deng stroked his beard, thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay." So it's a nuisance. β
Shi Xun struck while the iron was hot, and suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks of women?" Some people say: 'A woman is virtuous if she is not talented', is this true? β
Chen Deng shook his head and said, "What is it?" Those who have talent and insight, who can be enlightened by insight, and those who can be virtuous without talent are rare. β
Shi Xun asked rhetorically: "In the Book of Rites, it talks about women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's skills, but not women's talents. β
Chen Deng replied succinctly: "There are talents and virtues, and talents can speak." β
"In this way, Mr. Chen is not disgusted by women and good poets?"
Chen Deng didn't understand what the other party was going to say, but since he had already taken the tone, he had to follow the topic: "The scriptures can be enlightened, poetry can be pleasant, history can be successful, if everyone Cao is not familiar with history, they can't be the teachers of nobles." As long as you don't overindulge in it, you can hurt it. This means that as long as the woman doesn't read until she can't put it down, she will delay the female celebrity.
"I see," Shi Xun couldn't help but smile again when he heard this, and immediately tried to see the dagger, "Mr. Chen's insight is extraordinarily mediocre. Now there is a suitable daughter, who has excellent morality, appearance, speech, and merit, just to read poetry and books, so she is reprimanded by mediocre people, and there is nowhere to go. I wonder what Mr. Chen is interested in? β
