Chapter 24: Promoting Each Other
Dong Yu walked in front, and Xu Yu followed behind. came all the way to Dong Li's small courtyard in a low-key manner.
Then Dong Li asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and made it look like he was going to have a long talk with Xu Yu. And the people around are preparing for the preparation and reporting of the report. It's a lot of fun.
The old lady and the Dong family also got the news one after another, and they came to visit Dong Li's small courtyard, and after communicating with Xu Yu and testing the depths, they turned around and went back. just told Dong Yan to entertain Xu Yu.
Being able to cause this effect does not mean that Xu Yu is great if he can do arithmetic. It's just because in this era, most of the scholars belong to the scholar family, even if Xu Yu looks very young, his knowledge may not be enough. But what the old lady and the Dong family value is the family behind Xu Yu. That's why I came to visit with so much face.
This is the reason why Xu Yu wanted a good background at the beginning. With this, even Xu Yu can't open the pot. On the road to status or the future, it will be much easier than ordinary people.
And strictly speaking, although the Dong family has a big official who is too guarded in Hedong, because of Dong Zhuo's background, if you talk about social status, you may not be as good as a petty official from a scholar's family.
Although this is not absolute, birth is one thing, and life and ability are another. But Dong Zhuo's background makes it difficult for him to climb above the officialdom.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the Dong family has a bad background, so it is necessary to let those people from the Shi family do everything, although their social status is inferior. But it doesn't mean that the Dong family will be afraid of those scholars. It's just that if you can win over, try not to conflict, and if you can't win over, the Dong family won't stick it with a dead face.
Xu Yu is in such a situation. Although the origin is unknown, the knowledge cannot be faked. The Dong family and the old lady only came to visit them politely, not that they had to stammer Xu Yu.
Of course, if they knew that they might have some background in their imagination, it was just a low-born, or even non-existent, illiterate impostor black man. I guess I won't feel good either.
Therefore, based on this, Xu Yu discussed with Dong Yu and decided to make up a history for Xu Yu. And at present, the identity of the scholar determined before is not so applicable to Xu Yu, after all, if the two of them make up too good backgrounds, coming to the Dong Mansion to be a scholar will attract attention.
Of course, you still have to continue to learn words. It's just that his identity has changed from a scholar to a staff member. Although it is still a vassal of Dong Li, its status is a little higher. is also in line with the positioning of the two of them for Xu Yu, although they have a certain background, but they are not too high.
And for Xu Yu, the staff also has a benefit. At least it has a certain degree of autonomy than the scholar.,It's not like the scholar who is completely vassal.。
With this result, Xu Yu is also very satisfied. At least the start is a little higher than the original, and if you want to break away from the Dong family in the future, it will be relatively convenient.
There are pros, but there are also disadvantages. If you are Dong Li's scholar, it is equivalent to Dong Li's complete vassal. Dong Yan will also have complete trust in Xu Yu. Just like the Five Fowl Opera, the Fubo Hammer Method, etc., Xu Yu can also find a way to get it.
But he became a staff member, although he was still a vassal. But there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and some things Dong Yu will naturally guard against Xu Yu. It's not a question of believing it or not, it's a matter of the ass deciding the head.
However, although he may not be able to get Dong Yan's complete trust, Xu Yu does not regret it.
After all, he came to this world only to complete his mission. If you can't go back when you come here, there's nothing wrong with being a scholar of Dong Li. After all, Xu Yu knows history and knows Dong Li's future achievements. It is much better to hug the thighs from the end of Dong Li's thighs than to hug them when he is developed in the future.
Then, the two began to make up the origin of Xu Yu's explanation to the outside world. Since the current situation has been created, it is natural to do his best to be perfect. After all, a reader with a backstage is not the same as a reader without a backstage.
The two discussed, and then Xu Yu chose the ancestral home of Yizhou at the suggestion of Dong Li, but he studied in Chang'an.
Yizhou is known as the land of abundance, but the local scholars are very xenophobic, due to the lack of war, the local scholars can be called at least a hundred years of history.
And Xu Yu had a lot of Sichuan friends around him in his previous life, and he also spoke Sichuan dialect very slippery under the influence of his ears and eyes. It is not difficult to disguise yourself as a person from the Yizhou family.
And with the help of Dong Li, although this identity was rough, it did not make the Dong family and the old lady suspicious. Xu Yu's identity was thus decided, and he officially became Dong Li's staff.
Because Dong Li had no financial resources for the time being, Xu Yu lived in a small courtyard next to Dong Li under Dong's arrangement. It is convenient to communicate with Dong Li nearby.
Xu Yu's arrival did not cause much reaction to people other than Dong Li. After all, the impression of the Dong family and the old lady on him was that he was only a person who learned from a small family in Yizhou.
Xu Yu didn't have much thought about it, and he still wished it would be like this. After all, if you dig deeper, Xu Yu's fake identity will be revealed.
......
The days passed, and every day Xu Yu only exchanged feelings with Dong Li, accompanied Dong Li to lift stone locks, run, and practice equestrian skills. In addition to these, other knowledge of this era, the art of war, etc. Xu Yu also slowly began to understand under the study with Dong Li.
After all, unlike modern times, although Xu Yu also has exercises in modern times. But because there are so many things to do every day, except for running when he gets up in the morning and running in the evening, Xu Yu basically has no time to exercise.
And here, under the leadership of Dong Li, a martial arts maniac, getting up early every day to run is just basic.
Look at the description of the original book to know how hard Dong Li is.
In addition to insisting on practicing the five poultry operas every day in the morning, he read and read with the three teachers in the morning, listened to Chengfang recite the military books and battle strategies left by Ma Yuan in his grandmother's room in the afternoon, and practiced the long-hatred hammer method in the evening. The schedule is tight every day, with little to no rest.
No one's success is a fluke, compared to Dong Li's daily hard work and persistence, Xu Yu's own training can be described as inconspicuous.
And what Xu Yu was very surprised about was that Dong Li did not hide his secrets from him, and the Five Fowl Opera and the Long Hate Hammer Method were generously passed on to Xu Yu, but he was just asked to be careful not to spread it and not let the old lady see it.
And listening to Cheng Fang's recitation of the war book and battle strategy every day, he also came back generously to repeat and discuss with Xu Yu. After all, Cheng Fang just recited, he didn't know about it, including the hammer method, Cheng Fang just gave Dong Li the drawing of the hammer method cheats, and Dong Li relied on his own research and honing to practice it.
Now that there is Xu Yu, although Dong Yu still doesn't know Xu Yu's future thoughts, he is still very righteous enough to teach Xu Yu all his housekeeping skills. Let Xu Yu progress with him.
Xu Yu was grateful, but he didn't dare to slack off, and he and Dong Yan promoted each other's learning. It's growing every day.
