Yang Hong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and after finishing speaking, he naturally paused, waiting for Fei Qian to reply to him.
Fei Qian glanced at Yang Hong's half-smiling face, smiled himself, and cupped his hands to Yang Hong, but he quickly made a calculation in his mind.
"With the world in mind, there are materials left in the forest, and pearls left in the abyss" naturally means that Yuan Shu has broad ambitions and has the magnanimity to accommodate talents. This is not a big problem. The main thing is to tell Fei that "there are pearls left in the abyss"
Hiding himself, Yuan Shu had the intention to recruit himself, and even other members of the Jingxiang gentry within the Huang family.
After all, one of my own characters has the character "Yuan" in it.
But the wording at the end is a bit intriguing...
An old man in the countryside?
A wise man from the countryside?
If you just listened casually, of course there would be nothing wrong with Yang Hong's words, but when Fei Qian thought about it carefully, he felt that these words were a bit awkward.
Does it mean that I am an old man from the countryside? Or a great sage from the countryside?
It’s really haha.
Of course, Fei Qian doesn't think he's that great, but normally these two words shouldn't appear when recruiting people. Most of them will be words like "a pearl of secret investment", "a virtuous person and a great talent".
So Yang Hong doesn't seem to be the kind of person who speaks freely, or the kind of person who is slow to speak. How could such a problem arise?
Yang Hong, Yang family, Yuan Shu, Yuan family...
Fei Qian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, it turned out that Yang Hong meant this...
The Yuan family in Nanyang and the Yang family in Hongnong are both crown clans at this time, and naturally they belong to the ranks of the first-class noble families in the world. But I am just a Heluofei family. Of course, there is a big gap between the Yuan family and the Yang family. Just like in the imperial court
The gap between high-ranking officials and hermits in the countryside is average, so Yang Hong specially emphasized "countryside" twice, implying the nobility of the Yuan family, or perhaps the Yang family, and Fei Qian, no matter what, is
A lower-class nobleman.
Well, maybe Yang Hong's wording also has some connotations of beating.
The title of the crown clan in the world is not false. In this era, how many people are trying their best to have a relationship with these crown clans, let alone become their disciples and former officials. You know, even the people who are now causing trouble for Luoyang
, Dong Zhuo, who controlled the government, turned out to be a thief Cao recommended by the Yuan family...
Therefore, it can be inferred from this that what Yang Hong said specifically was to express that the Yuan family and the Yang family had given themselves a lot of face, and that they were treated like this for the sake of the Jingxiang gentry. At the same time, he also said not to do this because of this.
And proudly, even if I have a "relict pearl" talent, it is just a pearl in the countryside. It cannot be compared to the Yuan family in any case. Of course, the most important thing is that it cannot be compared to the Yang family.
Even if you join, you still have to be obedient...
This is really...
No wonder Yang Hong took it for granted. After all, they are now challenging Dong, and if you look at it for a moment, you will know that it is not all the people in the world, nor ordinary people, but the Yuan family is challenging Dong...
As mentioned just now, the Yuan family was the first to promote Dong Zhuo. No matter what the official position was, Dong Zhuo was favored by the Yuan family at first. But now Dong Zhuo has actually taken control of the government and taken over the Han Dynasty in one go.
He ate the meat in large and small bites, and even didn't even give the Yuan family a few sips of soup. How could this satisfy and convince the Yuan family, who had been planning for a long time and had worked hard to get rid of the eunuchs and relatives?
So now all the smarter nobles in the world know that if they want to seek career development in the central court, they must either join Dong Zhuo's side or Yuan Shu's Yuan Shao side of the Yuan family. As for how to choose?
Is there any need to say that?
So Yang Hong naturally thought that after just talking about it like this, Fei Qian wouldn't be able to stick up to him, so it was reasonable to give him a thumbs up first and then hit him.
It is a pity that Fei Qian has never considered Er Yuan from the time he first came to the Han Dynasty until now, so Yang Hong's expression was in vain.
But you can’t just make it clear to Yang Hong, right?
So Fei Qian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan is kind and I feel ashamed to accept it. I should look at his horse's head and not dare to overstep it."
"Looking at the horse's head, not daring to overtake" can of course be interpreted in an extended sense as being willing to rely on Yuan Shu, respecting the Yuan family and the Yang family, and not daring to do anything excessive. However, it can also be interpreted literally.
He said, I'm just looking at your horse's head. I won't cross you, so naturally we won't be together...
When it comes to verbal skills, Fei Qian, as a gangster in the office, doesn't have two or three moves to break up his skills?
Obviously Yang Hong did not hear the meaning of Fei Qian's double expression, or simply did not expect that Fei Qian had no intention of joining Yuan Shu, so he nodded slightly reservedly, expressed his appreciation for Fei Qian's humble attitude, and then said: "Zi
"When will Yuan leave for Luoyang?" - This means that you should hurry up and finish things so that you can come back to work...
"The soldiers are very tired and have suffered a lot on the road. They need to repair and purchase for a day, and they will leave tomorrow." What Fei Qian said is the truth. They really need to be repaired, at least so that these soldiers can take a bath.
Clean up your hygiene, eat a few normal hot meals and soups, and replenish the supplies you consumed along the way.
Of course, it would also be nice to be able to defeat the wealthy Yuan Shu's Qiu Feng...
As expected by Fei Qian, Yang Hong said: "My lord appreciates your righteousness as master and disciple, and has given me as a special gift five sheep, twenty chickens and ducks each, and fifty stones of corn. You can send people to the palace to get them."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yuan for the gift!" Fei Qian accepted everyone who came and happily accepted it. He glanced at Yang Hong again and said, "I also thank Chang Shi for his kindness."
What Yang Hong is most worried about is that Fei Qian threatens his position. After all, Fei Qian represents the Jingxiang noble clan to a certain extent, so if there is a conflict, Fei Qian will of course be the priority. After all, Yuan Shu still wants to use the power of the Jingxiang noble clan to
Drive away Liu Biao and capture Jingzhou, right?
So if he really had a head-on confrontation with Fei Qian, he would inevitably suffer a loss.
And the current result couldn't be better. Since Fei Qian knows what he is interested in, Yang Hong will not go out of his way to embarrass Fei Qian. As for who is higher and lower between the two in the future, Yang Hong also feels that there is no need to worry too much. Soon they will be in Jingxiang.
The noble clan will lose half of its use value once they capture Jingxiang, but the Yang family is still the top clan in the world. Do we still need to worry about the results of these two comparisons?
Therefore, Yang Hong smiled, stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he went to find Yi Ji. He and Yi Ji clapped and laughed and chatted for a long time before Shi Shiran and his entourage left...
When Yang Hong walked away, Yi Ji's eyes flickered, and he slightly covered his sleeves with his hands and asked with a smile: "I wonder why Yang Changshi is looking for Ziyuan?" - In fact, Yi Ji probably knew that Fei Qian would not tell him the details.
What was it? He just wanted to use this question to cover up what was inside his sleeve. Yang Hong stuffed a letter before he left. It must be a reply to Liu Biao...
"Nothing else, just talking about some customs of Jingxiang... Uncle Ji, what did Yang Changshi say to you just now?"
"Haha, I'm just asking about some famous places in Jingxiang..."
Fei Qian and Yi Ji looked at each other and laughed in unison...
