Chapter 2769 Good and Bad Things
Fei Qian likes to let Fei Zhen write some articles.
Fei Zhen’s irritability is just because he likes to play, just like most children, but doesn’t like to spend his brains.
Writing an article, especially writing a good article, is undoubtedly a brain-consuming task.
If you just play, it will be so good, especially those that do not require brains and only require instinctive simple movements. But for most children, writing articles helps them to exercise their logical thinking ability, and the proof, extension, metaphor, and bypass in the article can help children understand more things and understand some truths from them.
Fei Zhen was worried, but she also understood that this was good for him, so he returned to the backyard and thought about it for an afternoon of grief, but didn't come up with any clues.
Fei Zhen seemed to understand a little, but she didn't understand it very much.
"Madam, please invite Shaolang to have a meal together."
The servant outside the house lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Uh... I understand..." Fei Zhen was disturbed by her thoughts.
Although he had no thoughts at all.
Looking at the paper spread on her desk and a few drops of ink that accidentally dripped on it, Fei Zhen sighed in her heart, put down her pen, got up and left the room, and went to the back hall. She had seen her mother, and she was a little irritated when she sat down to eat.
Huang Yueying glanced at her eyes and said, "What's wrong? What did your father ask you to write again? Isn't it just writing articles? You have read so many books, but it's still so difficult to make up three or five hundred words?"
『…』 Fei Zhen was speechless.
Can this be the same?
There are indeed many words in the book, but those words are not your own.
I do know those words, but those words are not familiar with me, at least not the kind of level that is already mature and will move on it...
"Tell me, what did Daddy ask you to write?" Huang Yueying asked while eating, "Let Wei Mom plan for you..."
Although Confucius said that he would eat and not speak or sleep.
This has also become a general etiquette standard for the children of the gentry, but it was on a formal occasion. Now Huang Yueying and Feizhen are in their backyard.
In addition, the birth of these etiquettes was caused by the social environment and production and living conditions at that time.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no exquisite food, so there was no need to think about rice. It was basically barley, and it was couscous. In addition, the lack of cooking skills made it difficult for even the gentry and ministers to eat exquisite food.
Zhou Gong vomited food, not because Zhou Gong liked to do this, but the food was too rough at that time, and it was like swallowing sand if it didn't chew it. Therefore, when he spoke when he had a mouthful of "sand" in his mouth, he would know what the scene was like...
At the moment, after Fei Qian promoted refined foods such as flour and rice flour, most of the foods that appeared on the tables of the gentry's children were not the kind that needed to be chewed for a long time before swallowing, so that they could speak on the table. They would not choke on themselves or spray others.
『Dog...not fine..." Fei Zhen swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said again, 『No, it was "merit and demerit"...』
『Merits and demerits?』 Huang Yueying said oh, and at the beginning she was a little uneasy, but after taking a few more bites, she stopped the chopsticks, "Tell me carefully, what exactly is it like?"
Fei Zhen also stopped and then told the general process.
Huang Yueying nodded and said thoughtfully: "Then you should really think about it carefully... and write it carefully..."
『Mother...』 Fei Zhen smiled with a shy face. You didn’t say that just now, and you even said you wanted to plan for yourself!
"Don't even think about it!" Huang Yueying snorted, "You ask me to make a butt-sucking whip for you, I can do it for you right away, but what about articles..."
Fei Zhen shrank her head, "Okay."
After finishing the meal, Huang Yueying looked at Fei Zhen and couldn't help but say: "This article is really important. You have to write it carefully, do you understand?"
"?" A question mark popped up on Fei Zhen's forehead, and then an exclamation mark popped up secretly.
Huang Yueying immediately glared at her again and said, "You have to write it yourself! Don't go to your second wife!"
Fei Zhen's exclamation mark on his forehead suddenly became weak, "I understand."
"Go. Write it carefully." Huang Yueying waved her hand, "What should I eat for the night snack at night? How about making some meat soup for you for my mother?"
Is this going to make me prepare to study hard? Fei Zhen couldn't help but want to complain, but she finally held it back, "It's OK."
As soon as he finished saying this, Fei Zhen was stunned.
He seemed to have thought of something, but this concept was like a fireflies in a summer night, flashing and disappearing light spots, which were difficult to capture...
…(ˇˇ) Want to ~…
Some people say that the luck in this world is quantitative. If someone has more luck, someone will inevitably have less. Perhaps the same is true for thinking. If someone thinks more, someone will inevitably think less.
If the central word is replaced with joy, or something else, it seems to be true?
Does this mean that the world actually has a natural balance ability?
Almost one day away from Xu County, along the flat land on both sides of the official road and near the water source, the Youzhou Cao Army Cavalry Academy, which is coming from Youzhou and about to become the protagonist of the celebration.
Because it is in the hinterland of the Cao army's base camp and was here to attend the celebration and receive commendation, the camps built by the Cao army naturally do not have many auxiliary fortifications. They do not dig deep trenches or insert bamboo sticks and wooden stakes dyed with gold juice. After all, the surroundings are all people, and if they are accidentally tied, it will be a bit of a problem. Overall, although there are no defense facilities, the camps are still relatively neatly tied, and the tents in the camp are also standardized for layout.
It is the time to bury the pot to make rice, and the air is filled with the fragrance of rice and meat. Although it is not yet time for celebration and you cannot drink and have fun, it is somewhat of a happy thing for these military academy soldiers who returned from Youzhou to return to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, laughter and joy sounded from time to time in the camp.
However, in this camp, there are still a little differences between soldiers and military academies.
The voice is loud, the voice is bright, and the face is more radiant, the Cao family or the Xiahou family. No matter how bad the Cao family or the Xiahou family is, they are still people with some relatives with the Cao family or the Xiahou family. Others are either joining in the fun or watching coldly, and they are different.
In order to participate in this celebration, not only the official allocated the best armor replacement, but even the soldiers themselves were very concerned. Even the utensils they used on weekdays were washed and polished repeatedly. After all, in the military, how could there be a way to pay attention to appearance every day? What kind of military robe and armor are spotless and can be seen?
In addition, there was no stainless steel in the Han Dynasty. Although it was winter, the climate in the Han Dynasty was obviously milder than in later generations, so some rust would inevitably spread, which needed to be polished from time to time. Otherwise, if it was left there for a few days, the rust would become deeper and deeper. Not only would it be difficult to polish, but it would even be impossible to remove it.
More than ten miles outside the camp, Xiahou Shang and more than a dozen personal guards were waiting on the road.
Of course, Cao Chun could not leave the station without authorization, so he sent Xiahou Shang as the leader of the celebration.
Seeing that the sky was getting late, the night fell, and the crowds on the official road were from more to less, and in the end there was no one else. Xiahou couldn't help but feel a little impatient and muttered in a low voice, "This white general... really doesn't say a sure letter... Wait, I'm almost broken, I haven't come yet? Could it be that I'm just looking for fun and forgetting us?"
Xiahou Shang looked at the personal guard who had reported the news in Chuanxian and glared at him and said, "Didn't it mean that General Xiahou will arrive today?"
The personal guard dared to touch Xiahou Shang's bad head at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "Little, the young man also heard from General Xiahou's guards... Maybe something was delayed halfway? Since General Xiahou's guards said it, they should not be out of here... Now that the Lord has worked hard and made great contributions, General Xiahou must come to praise the Lord when he comes. In the future, the younger ones will count on the Lord to take care of him, and follow him to get merits, get promoted and make money..."
Xiahou Shang touched the beard on his chin and laughed haha. It was obvious that the flattery of his personal guards made him feel very comfortable.
To be honest, Xiahou Shang had no merits at all. All his experience in battle formations was to sit in the camp behind and shout some words from my brothers to me, and even suffered a defeat. It was just covered up and there was no reward. However, this made Xiahou Shang a person who was a meritorious person and could accept the commendation of the emperor.
Xiahou Shang laughed and expressed his humility, "I am satisfied with this position. If I want to move forward, it will be difficult... Don't worry! You follow me, although you may not be able to make you a high-ranking official and enjoy two thousand stones, at least there is no problem with the land and a large mansion! In addition, some property purchases, Meiji servants, etc., you will each have a dozen fat boys in the future, and the family will flourish and prosper! "
The guards were also making fun, smiling, either bowing to thank, or saying that they dare not think about a thousand acres of luxury houses, and that they were satisfied with having a hundred or eighty acres of land...
While we were chatting and laughing, the sound of horse hooves came from the official road, which immediately made Xiahou Shang and others shut up and cheered up. I saw that there seemed to be some torches in the distance, and the light spots were rising and falling, gradually approaching with the sound of horse hooves.
Soon, under the torch, Xiahou Yuan was seen.
When Xiahou Shang and others saw it, they couldn't help but cheer and went forward to greet them.
Regardless of whether it is called white and black in secret in daily life, at least Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are the facade of the Xiahou clan now!
The two teams gathered together, Xiahou Shang rushed forward and personally led the horse to Xiahou Yuan, smiling happily, "General, thank you all the way!"
"Hahaha, I don't have to work hard, but you have to work hard!" Xiahou Yuan got off the horse, patted Xiahou Shang's shoulder, and then nodded at the group of guards behind Xiahou Shang, "All of them are good men from the Xiahou family! Not bad, not bad! This time I gave Xiahou's parents face!"
The group of people suddenly laughed and felt very happy.
Xiahou Shang hurriedly said: "It's all for the general's blessing..."
Xiahou Yuan laughed, gestured for a moment, hugged Xiahou Shang and said, "I heard that the reward was quite generous this time. Don't take it yourself. You must give it some more and more to the men!"
Although Xiahou Yuan may have a bad reputation in some aspects, he still has nothing to say about his brothers. In history, he even went to the chaos in Yan and Yu, because of hunger, he would rather give up his youngest son and feed his deceased orphan.
Xiahou Shang's smile couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
In this era, in the concept of the Xiahou family of Cao, to grasp the morale of the army, in addition to being able to lead the soldiers to win battles, we also have to make goodwill and give money to help the soldiers to set up property, so as to tie everyone's interests together. It is almost natural to take money in the hands of the superiors and to work hard for the superiors in this era.
Therefore, it is natural that Xiahou Yuan’s discussion on asking Xiahou Shang to share the rewards is reasonable, but if Xiahou Dun said this, he would probably not say it in public, but would find an opportunity to say it privately...
Xiahou Shang just replied repeatedly, "This is nature, this is nature..."
In the current Han Dynasty, there was a land industry, which was a remarkable thing. In the general concept, it was an industry that could be used to pass on from generation to generation.
Xiahou Yuan didn't pay attention, or even if he paid attention, he ignored Xiahou Shang's expression and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Youbei is a great victory, good fight! This is like a treasure sword, and it is always a sharp edge after being sharpened! The land of Youzhou is a place for military use! If there are major events in the future, it will definitely be of great use! In the future, the merits are indispensable! Who would have many benefits of having a wife and a child?"
This sentence came to the hearts of the soldiers around him, and then he immediately made a lot of cheering sounds.
In the Han Dynasty, the general was in charge of a military force, and then the private soldiers who followed the general and the father died and the son had become common. Under the general, it was not just his family, but many soldiers were dependent on the general and the general for a long time. It was natural for the general to take good care of the general and the general. Isn’t it just to "give his wife and son"? If he couldn’t even take care of his own family and could not continue to live, who would go to the Xiahou family to fight for the Cao family and sacrifice his life?
Seeing that everyone's spirits were mobilized, Xiahou Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then put Xiahou Shang's shoulders on his side and walked aside for a few steps. Seeing this, the private soldiers of the two guards knew that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Shang had something to say, so they stayed away one after another and made aside a place for the two generals.
After leaving the crowd, Xiahou Yuan's expression became a little low.
Xiahou was not very good, and he had some ability to observe his expressions and expressions. Seeing this, he whispered: "General, what's the point?"
Xiahou Yuan nodded gently, then looked back at the group of soldiers who were smiling and talking not far away, and then said to Xiahou Shang: "Did you hear it when you were in Qiao County?"
Xiahou Shang's heart was shocked, "This... I heard a little..."
Although Xiahou Shang came from Youzhou to the north, the local officials who provided them with supplies and resettlement would more or less reveal some current current affairs and tell Xiahou Shang about the changes in the Hezhou, Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and Jizhou, so Xiahou Shang also knew a little.
"It's good to know." Xiahou Yuan was silent for a while, and then walked forward one or two more steps, "It's very critical at this moment... Although the lord is now in the high position of prime minister, in fact, the local gentry... Humph, now we have to collect the whole place. At this critical moment, there must be no chaos within us... Do you understand?"
Xiahou Shang nodded repeatedly.
Even if Xiahou Yuan didn't specifically explain this, Xiahou Shang would not do anything to do. After all, he is a member of the Xiahou family, and his glory and wealth are all related to the Xiahou family of Cao.
"The emperor is going to hold a celebration, and someone has come to Guanzhong..." Xiahou Yuan said, "The people in Guanzhong... I think they must be uneasy and don't know what the hell is going to do... By the way, I came here this time to ask you... What did you... in this Battle of Youbei... have you done in it? How many more gains did you win?"
"Ah?!" Xiahou Shang was stunned and stared at him with wide eyes and didn't know what to say.
"Do you have your martial arts..." Xiahou Yuan said it very directly, making Xiahou Shang a little confused about how to respond, "So you said you killed as many enemies as you beheaded... I don't know if others believe it or not, but here... I'm honest, did you go into battle and kill the enemy with your own hands when you defeated Wuhuan?"
Xiahou Yuan asked this because during this period, while Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun were clearing out some corrupt officials, they promoted many poor families to supplement the vacant official positions. Of course, not all of these poor families were loyal and kind people. Some were indeed very good, but some began to be proud after becoming officials...
『Low…』 Xiahou Shang originally wanted to be tough, but looking at Xiahou Yuan's eyes, he couldn't be tough, so he had to lower his head, "Youbei Dasheng was the leader of General Cao to fight...Low, he only focused on logistics and logistics support...』
『Um…』 Xiahou Yuan frowned and pondered for a moment, 『It’s okay, guarantee the logistics, um, it’s also a merit...but in this way, you can’t boast about winning the head level or something...Don’t let anyone get a handle...Do you know?"
Xiahou Shang responded repeatedly.
"Okay, just be careful. By the way, there is a good thing to come to you," Xiahou Yuan looked back at the guards in the distance, then turned back and lowered his voice and said, "When the celebration is over, when you walk back... the eldest brother's son... like this..."
Xiahou Shang widened his eyes in surprise.
"You have to take good care of yourself, so try more..." Xiahou Yuan patted Xiahou Shang's shoulder, "This is what my elder brother means, I will do it well, and in the future... I will definitely not treat you badly..."
After Xiahou Yuan finished giving the instructions, he took the people away.
Looking at Xiahou Yuan who was whizzing like a gust of wind and whizzing away, Xiahou was still crying without tears.
What is this good thing?
