Zhang Song was treated by Liu Bei with a very high standard, and he was on an equal footing with Liu Bei, like a family. almost fell asleep, which can't be blamed on Liu Bei's lack of sincerity, but his lack of courage.

However, being ugly cannot but be said to be Zhang Song's greatest sorrow. Liu Bei was respectful on the surface, but in fact, he didn't want to see this face every day, and when he saw Zhang Song, he felt that he had no appetite, and what he ate was not fragrant. No, after a few days of hard work, Liu Bei lost a lot of weight, thought about it, and finally promised Zhang Song a false position as a military lieutenant general, so he gently persuaded him to go back as an internal response.

And Zhang Song was grateful to Liu Bei for his kindness, forgot Wang Baoyu's words, returned to Shuzhong in the end, and secretly persuaded his friend Fa Zheng and Meng Da to defect to Liu Bei together.

Wang Baoyu persuaded Zhang Song to present a picture to Liu Bei, just to conform to the development of history, but inadvertently saved Yiling, as Liu Bei continued to move west, Liu Bei finally forgot about Yiling.

More than three months have passed since Wang Baoyu took up the post of squire. Since Yang Xiu took care of almost all the big and small affairs, he was very idle, except for sending Wen Jiàn to Cao Cao, he stayed in the office on weekdays to drink tea and mess around.

During this period of time, Wang Baoyu's impression of Cao Cao has changed a lot, Cao Cao is very diligent, no matter how big or small, all of them are serious, and the economic index of the north has gradually risen in recent years, which is inseparable from his efforts, and can be called a capable minister of governing the world.

What makes Wang Baoyu even more impressive is that Cao Cao has many wives and concubines, but he controls them well. There are many women, and right and wrong are also indispensable. Cao Cao didn't waste his efforts on family friction, so he really came up with a good idea.

Why do women have broken mouths? At the end of the day, that's because it's idle. In order to prevent his women from having enough to eat and drink and have nothing to do, thinking about dealing with others all day long, Cao Cao set up a textile factory in the backyard and let his women do textile and needlework.

Liu Cong, who had already rushed back, was fully responsible for the procurement and transportation of materials for the textile factory, and of course, the profits from the sale of fabrics and knitwear were distributed to Cao Cao's women according to their work.

There are many capable people, and hard-working women can naturally get more pay. These incomes can not only be used at will, but even Cao Cao himself will look down on her and go once or twice a month, so everyone's enthusiasm has been mobilized, and no one wants to fall behind.

There are fewer and fewer family frictions, and women still get together from time to time, learn from each other, and even divide labor and cooperate, in order to make better finished products and sell them at better prices. Therefore, the beautiful scene of harmony and progress in the backyard is very rare.

On this day, Wang Baoyu went to Yang Xiu to get the text, and it happened that Cao Zhi came, full of wine. Seeing that Wang Baoyu was here, Cao Zhi didn't see it, and directly took out a newly written article, handed it to Yang Xiu, and said, "Teacher, Zhi wrote an article last night, but please correct it." ”

can be called a teacher by Cao Zhi, it can be seen that Yang Xiu's literary quality is quite not low, maybe he is also a literati, Yang Xiu has a very good impression of Cao Zhi, he took it and read it, and immediately praised Cao Zhi's literary level is unparalleled in the world. Wang Baoyu also leaned over to take a look, but frowned, the name of the article is "Wine Fu", which shows that Cao Zhi's greed for wine has reached the point of no return.

"Baoyu, what do you think of this article?" Cao Zhi asked.

"Hehe, I don't understand it again, this is written after drinking?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"When the wine is at its best, the pen is like a god." Cao Zhi said proudly.

Wang Baoyu was speechless, this person is basically incorrigible, he didn't say anything about being a writer, and there are many writers who like to drink, but he is obviously not qualified to be a politician. Yang Xiu read it carefully a few times, praised it without stopping, changed a few words before and after, and gave it back to Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi glanced at Wang Baoyu and said to Yang Xiu without hesitation: "Recently, Brother Zihuan has been low-key, and he has won the heart of his father, and he also asked the teacher to guide Zhi'er!" ”

"You can go to Yecheng! Stay away at this time, but you can hide the flaws! Yang Xiu thought for a moment and pointed.

"Just according to the teacher!" Cao Zhi woke up from the appearance of the person in his dream, and he was not verbose, and after thanking him, he took the manuscript and got up to say goodbye.

Wang Baoyu basically has no friends in Xudu, and Yang Xiu can be counted as one. After Cao Zhi left, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but remind: "Lao Yang, you are so smart, you should know what the prime minister hates the most, why don't you follow it!" ”

Yang Xiu shook his head and said helplessly: "Participating in the succession is indeed a taboo for the prime minister. But I can't help myself, if I don't help Cao Zhi, if he talks nonsense in front of the prime minister another day, it will be difficult to preserve. ”

"If you help Cao Zhi, Cao Pi will definitely be unhappy, aren't you afraid that Cao Pi will say a few ugly words to you in front of Lao Cao one day?" Wang Baoyu disagreed.

Yang Xiu sighed deeply again, and said: "The eldest prince has always suspected that I am friendly with the third prince, so he rarely comes to the door, even if I have the heart to rely on, the eldest prince will definitely not accept me." ”

"Well, sooner or later, you will be planted in this matter." Wang Baoyu sighed, turned around and walked out.

There was a sigh from behind Yang Xiu, how could he not know the stakes, but no matter when, the strength of the princelings should not be underestimated, Yang Xiu could only choose one side to stand in line, and it was difficult to stay out of the matter at all.

Wang Baoyu returned to his house and was disappointed in Yang Xiu, talented and insightful, but unprincipled. At the same time, he was also deeply aware of a problem, getting too close to Yang Xiu would not do any good.

Just when Wang Baoyu felt sorry for Yang Xiu, the guards at the gate came to report, and the literary Peng Sima Yi asked to see him!

Sima Yi is here! Wang Baoyu has been in Xudu for a long time, and the officials of all sizes have seen and counted, but he has never seen Sima Yi, and of course he knows the historical weight of this person, which is Zhuge Liang's fierce rival later.

"Let him in!" Wang Baoyu also wanted to meet Sima Yi and agreed.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in. The figure is not burly, and the proportions are harmonious. The square face is a little loyal, the eyes are deep and not a little ostentatious, the hair is not messy, and even the beard is quite smooth, the handsome guy is a reliable young man, it is Sima Yi.

Sima Yi that Wang Baoyu saw in the TV series was a lewd little old man, but when he saw it with his own eyes today, he found that it was not like that at all. Sima Yi is obviously quite handsome, if there is something that is a little different, that is, his eyes are yellow, which is the wolf eyes in physiognomy.

Sima Yi tilted his body, leaned on a cane, and with a look of pain on his face, he came up and arched his hand: "Wang Shilang, but please help Zhong Da Yi or two, I will be grateful to Dade, and it will be unforgettable." ”
