Chapter 56 There are too many lonely people in the world who are afraid to take the first step—I'm talking about Zhao Yun
November 12, the fourth day after Zhuge Jin returned to Guangling.
Guangling North City, a large mansion that originally belonged to Chen Lan, the general of the Yuan army, was occupied by Liu Beijun after Liu Xun was defeated and retreated two and a half months ago, and was rewarded to the military Sima Tianyu.
Now, it was bought by Zhuge Jin, hastily cleaned it, changed the lintel, and used it to set up a portal for his uncle Song Xin.
This house, of course, is much worse than what Liu Bei gave to Zhuge Jin, but it is also decent.
Zhuge Jin was in too much of a hurry, and no one else made a move in a hurry. Among the generals in the army, only Tian Yu was young, had no wife and no child in Xuzhou, and did not need a big house, so he sold it along the river.
At the time of delivery, Zhuge Jin also faintly wondered in his heart: Could it be that Tian Yu wanted to return to his hometown in Youzhou under the pretext that his mother was old and unsupported, would it still happen? That's why you're in a hurry to sell real estate and cash out?
However, Liu Bei's current situation is much better than that of the same period in history, and he should still be able to persuade him.
How can there be a reason in the world not to seek a career in order to support the elderly, and it is completely possible to take Tian Yu's mother to the south for the elderly.
But this matter is not something to think about right now, Zhuge Jin has a lot of complicated things in his own home.
……
Early in the morning, Zhuge Jin personally came to his uncle's new house to help preside, and Song Xin also greeted him at the door.
Everything in the mansion seemed so hasty and sloppy, but no guest would look down on the Song family because of this.
The Song family set up a luncheon, but when it was only morning, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei had already come early to support the ceremony.
Mi Zhu, Chen Qun and those big clans in Guangling did not dare to lag behind.
This made Song Xin, who has not yet come out, feel quite cramped.
He doesn't understand the things in officialdom, and he can't distinguish between dignity and humility when welcoming guests, and he is very busy.
Or Zhuge Jin reminded from the side: Regardless of the status of the guest, they will all be treated equally, just do it for a while.
Song Xin calmed down a little at this time, and secretly wiped his sweat when there were no guests: "Ah Jin, you have a really big face now, who dares not to come here if there is a head and a face in Guangling City." ”
Zhuge Jin: "I am already a lieutenant of the imperial court, isn't this how it should be, I have to get used to it in the future." ”
The guests soon arrived, and it was time for the banquet, and a total of dozens of tables were set up (one person per seat in the Han Dynasty).
Zhuge Jin returned to the main hall and sat on the right side of the main seat, and Song Xin sat on his left, also facing the guests.
Zhuge Jin picked up the wine and said a few words: "Thank you for the light today, I will leave for Yuzhang next month, and be diligent in the king's affairs." It's just because my mother doesn't want to be a widow and uncle, and she doesn't want me to worry. Therefore, Uncle She proposed: The Song family is back on its own today, and everyone is witnessing. ”
Saying that, Zhuge Jin drank it first, Song Xin also drank it, and all the guests also cheered.
Then it was Song Xin's turn to speak, which was nothing more than emphasizing, "My sister was only worried that her stepchildren would be young and unsupported, so she has supported her in the Zhuge family so far, and she is not determined to observe the festival for Mr. Jungong for the rest of her life."
Mr. Jungong and his original wife have already settled in the ground, not to mention that Langya is difficult to return, and he does not want to disturb in the future. Now that Ziyu has been appointed as a school captain by the edict of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be able to support all the affairs of the Zhuge family. ”
After Song Xin finished speaking, he also saluted the guests, and everyone drank with them, and the wine passed the second round.
On the last tour, he returned to Zhuge Jinna, and he instructed the maid to take out dozens of horseshoe gold and a hundred colored satin in public, and also picked out three pieces from the pile of jewels rewarded by Liu Xie, and solemnly announced:
"These three pieces of jewelry were given by the Son of Heaven when he went to Xudu this time, and left them to the Song family for the right to shine. Thirty pounds of gold and two hundred pieces of colored satin are all floating wealth in hand.
And before the Xuande Gong gave 300 granges and farm maids, they were handed over to my uncle today, and Uncle Lao repaid me for many years of nurturing. I also wish the Song family to spread out and shine on the lintel. ”
After speaking, the property was handed over, and the third round of wine was drunk.
After listening to the cause and effect, the guests in the hall were also surprised, sighed, or appreciated.
What sighs is that the Song family has lost such a thick thigh as the Zhuge family, and they will have to rely on themselves in the future.
But Zhuge Jin was generous after all, and when he separated the family, he left most of the family property to his stepmother, and he only left a house and some daily things, which is worth commendating.
There is a sentence here that must be emphasized: throughout the banquet and ceremony, from beginning to end, the Song family did not show up, and it is not at all about whether the Song family will remarry in the future. The term remarriage was not mentioned at all.
Those are just things that were chatted privately behind closed doors a few days ago, and the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, just to retain a possibility and return a free body.
The ritual law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that a stepwife who has not given birth to biological children in her husband's family can be taken back by her mother's family after the death of her husband and his original wife and their joint burial. How to live in the future, whether to remarry or not, that is the matter of my mother's family.
A few years ago, the Song family saw that none of the stepchildren had reached the crown, so after the three-year guard was completed, they raised them for an additional four years out of morality.
Zhuge Jin also emphasized today that his uncle has set up his own door, and all the follow-up affairs of the Song family are Song Xin's decisions, and Zhuge Jin has no right to speak.
If you can't get married, it's normal to spend the rest of your life in your parents' house.
……
After the third tour of the master's family finished speaking, Liu Bei on the side took the lead in reacting and praised Zhuge Jin's filial piety:
"Ziyu is now a school captain, involved in the army, and forgets to serve the country. Let the stepmother live with her uncle in a place far away from the military disaster is the real filial piety. is not a generation of people who sell their fame, but for their own filial piety, they let their parents follow and take risks. ”
These words have a very high emotional intelligence, and further helped Zhuge Jin's behavior to be golden, and then changed his words and suggested to Song Xin:
"Mr. Song and Ziyu brothers have been reading for many years, and they must be quite knowledgeable, and it is not a way to not go out of office, I wonder if I can ask Mr. Song to succumb to the position of Kecao in Benzhou? This job is idle, and there is no need to take risks, but you can live and work in peace. ”
Ke Cao is engaged in the most relaxed idleness, and there is no oil and water.
Just as the imperial court needs Dahonglu to be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, states and counties. And the state assassin also needs a subordinate official who is similar to the one who is responsible for ushering in the send.
Song Xin was originally a little apprehensive, but when he heard that Liu Bei's errand was so easy, he put his heart down, expressed his gratitude on the spot, and was willing to accept the expedition.
In this way, the Song family also has face. I just set up my own door, and I immediately have an official body, so I don't have to worry about being too humble when I socialize with people in the future.
In the follow-up, everyone drank and feasted by themselves, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, needless to mention.
Those who came to Zhuge Jin for other things also came to discuss and report one by one through the banquet.
Liu Bei first came over to chat with a wine glass.
He didn't want to take credit for Song Xin's expedition, but found some unexpected uneasiness from what Zhuge Jin did this time.
He got straight to the point and asked, "Ziyu, after I received the post yesterday, I wanted to ask you, the courtyard you found for Uncle Ling was originally assigned to the state, right?" He was in such a hurry to sell, did he say anything when he sold? ”
Zhuge Jin also took a sip of his wine glass: "It shouldn't be the first time that Guorang has revealed and worried about his mother in his hometown, right?" When he sold the yard, he said that one person could not live so big, and in exchange for some gold and silver, he would have the opportunity to ask someone to bring it back to his hometown in Youzhou and subsidize the family. ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but darken: "Actually, just after the battle of Guangling was over, he hinted at me once and wanted to go back to serve his mother, I advised him to think about it again and not be in a hurry." Sure enough, it's still not easy to keep? ”
Zhuge Jin didn't think so, he felt that Liu Bei was treating people with the heart of a gentleman.
According to historical books, many people in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms returned to their hometowns under the pretext of supporting their relatives. Of course, many of them are true, but some of them are excuses.
This is like Zhuge Jin met too many female colleagues in education and training institutions before he crossed over, and the best reason to resign was "I am in a long-distance relationship with my husband/boyfriend, and I want to go to his city for development".
If a woman in the workplace in later generations says this reason, the boss will never be able to keep it.
After all, it is too damaging to stay in the yin, and the so-called would rather demolish ten broken temples than a couple.
In the Han Dynasty, there were no husband and wife who were not in different places, but there were also parents and children who were not in different places. Zhuge Jin felt that if it was just out of filial piety, he could also suggest that the other party's parents' family move out of their hometown and come to the place where their children seek official support.
It's a big deal to give more money, a good house, more maids and maids, and make sure there is a stable rear environment.
Zhuge Jin hinted at his thoughts, and then advised Liu Bei not to worry: "In my opinion, this matter will be resolved sooner or later, and it is not just a matter of state concessions."
In the first two months, our army had not gained a firm foothold in Guangling, and his family members were captured by Lu Bu. At that time, the part was afraid that the bad news would be repeated in the future, which was also human nature.
But now the situation is different, the whole army's family is coming back, and the general has also been awarded the imperial court of Yangzhou Assassin History. Even if Guangling is located in a place surrounded by strong enemies, once the river is crossed, and Liu Xuan joins forces, the land of Jiangdong will definitely become a stable rear in the future, so why do you need to worry about your family not living in peace for a long time?
The general should wait for the opportunity to analyze and understand these truths and the parts that have wavered with the country's will. In addition, after Xianhe Xu Du came back this time, it is estimated that he will be idle for a while, and there is no foreign affairs for him to worry about.
Xianhe is also from Youzhou, right? also went to the same township with the general, and asked Zizhong to arrange some sea boats, go north along the coast, go to the places of Youji and Hebei to patrol the defense, and bring those who are still concerned about their families in their hometown of Youji, which is the long-term plan. ”
After listening to this, Liu Bei also suddenly felt cheerful.
He himself never suspected that someone might use filial piety as an excuse, so he didn't think much about many things, and as soon as he was inspired by Zhuge Jin's pragmatic thinking, he immediately reacted.
"That's true, then I'll still have a heart-to-heart talk with Guorang, as well as other Yuan Cong Pao Ze who still has family members in Youzhou's hometown. Alas, if Shiren were still alive, he would definitely want to take his parents back. When I was reincarnated the previous time, I only cared for his wife and children, and his parents were still in their hometown in Guangyang County. ”
Shiren in this life, according to Zhang Fei's report statement to save face for him, was "On the way for Zhang Fei and Zhuge Jin to break through to Haixi County, in order to lead away Lei Bo's pursuers, they fought and died."
So Liu Bei still misses the old feelings for these robes brought from his hometown. Although the Shi family has no use value, Liu Bei still thought of taking Shiren's parents over when he went to his hometown and giving money and food to support the elderly.
Seeing that Liu Bei finally figured it out, Zhuge Jin reminded again: "I heard that there was originally a subordinate general sent by the Marquis of Ji next to the general, who was brave and good at riding, and returned to his hometown because of his brother's funeral the year before last?" The period of brother's bereavement is only more than a year, and now it should be over, right? If you can really send Xianhe to Hebei, why not investigate together? ”
Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "Have you heard about Zilong?" Was it Yunchang or Yide who told me? Zilong did return to his hometown to guard his brother's funeral.
However, I always think that Zilong is a believer and knows me, and as long as he expires and wants to vote for me, he will naturally come to me.
With his martial arts, where in the world can he go? If I force my way to find him, will I embarrass him? Or did he encounter something unspeakable? ”
Zhuge Jin shook his head angrily, but he didn't say anything serious, but he secretly thought in his heart: No wonder in history, once Zhao Yun returned to his hometown, it was five or six years, and your temper seemed to be considerate, but it was actually embarrassing.
Zhuge Jin had no choice but to organize the wording and reminded: "General, although I haven't seen Zilong, but listening to Yun Chang and Yide occasionally mention it, I can roughly figure out that he is a person with high ambitions.
When he left due to his brother's funeral, the general was still working with Tian Kai to help Tao Gongzu fight against Cao, and Tao Gongzu had not passed away at that time, and he had not given up the position of Xuzhou pastor, right? ”
Liu Bei recalled the time for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true, so what?" ”
Zhuge Jin sighed: "For a person with integrity, he asked himself if he was a friend of the general in distress, and when he left due to his brother's funeral, the general had not yet made a career. After he left, the general rose to the top of the throne, and if he returned immediately after the funeral, would not he seem to be poor and greedy for riches?
In this case, he may live in his hometown, and he will not be a leader, but only wait for the general to take the initiative to summon him, otherwise he will not serve his master, so as to show his integrity. Our army has just lost the three counties of Xuzhou, and only the last and a half counties are left, which can be regarded as a critical situation.
At this time, Xianhe was sent to summon, saying that he urgently needed Zilong's power as an arm, and he would definitely come in the starry night. Isn't it beautiful that he can also send charcoal in the snow, and the elegance of the whole general and Zilong knowing each other? ”
To put it in my conscience, Zhuge Jin's truth may not be right.
He just knew that after Zhao Yun returned to his hometown in history, he didn't come out to defect for six years, and then extrapolated backwards from this result and casually recited a psychological activity, Zhao Yun may not really think so in his heart.
But it doesn't matter, Zhuge Jin can judge that as long as Zhao Yun has a step down, the more Liu Bei says that his situation is difficult, and then invites him, the easier it will be for Zhao Yun to come, he has already had a friendship with Liu Bei to that extent, so that he has a psychological hint that will help the other party make up his mind.
Zhuge Jin felt that Liu Bei's wave in history could be regarded as "because I knew the other party too well, and I was afraid that the other party would have something unspeakable and embarrassing, so I would rather miss it than take the initiative".
In the end, it was clear that he would be able to come back in more than two years, but he had to delay it for six years to come back.
His persuasion can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good, so that Zhao Yun can do things three and a half years in advance, don't miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it is good for everyone.
Liu Bei carefully pondered Zhuge Jin's psychological deduction, and his eyes became brighter and brighter:
"Why didn't I think of that? Ziyu, I have always been good at asking myself about being a corporal, and I never need to be taught to deal with people. I didn't expect that not only would you know anything else, but even the strengths that I am most proud of, you would be able to point out my shortcomings, which is really ...... Fantastic! ”
Liu Bei had been shocked by Zhuge Jin many times, but he asked himself that this time the shock was still the strongest.
Because Zhuge Jin can actually dial him a little in the field of emotional intelligence and psychology, that is the strongest item that he Liu Bei is most proud of!
As everyone knows, Zhuge Jin is still relying on openness this time, so he can only analyze and analyze the mentality of Tian Yu, Zhao Yun and others.
If you ask him to find someone he doesn't know at all and analyze it from scratch, then Liu Bei's emotional intelligence analysis will definitely blow him up eight streets.
"I'll go and arrange it, Guorang, Zizhong, there is something to discuss with you!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed, and in a hurry, he pulled Mi Zhu and Tian Yu to the side hall to discuss another matter, regardless of the fact that this was at the Song family's household banquet.
