Xiden Building has a wood-brick structure, and the walls are brick, but most of the floor slabs and beams are made of wood. Not only are they painted with black paint, but they are also painted with red paint on the corners to outline some simple details.
The pattern looks dignified and grand.
The furnishings in the elegant rooms are also consistent with the mainstream habits of the Han Dynasty, simple but not simple.
The ebony table has only a small cloud pattern painted with gold paint on the corner of the table. The floor is covered with pure white reed mats, which are not only soft and comfortable. There are also many fine wines and delicacies placed on the table.
There is an incense burner in the corner, a plume of green smoke rising up, exuding bursts of fragrant atmosphere.
But the three people in the room had no intention of paying attention to these decorations, nor did they have any thoughts on these fine wines and delicacies.
"General Zhengxi..."
I don't know who sighed softly.
This feeling is not very good, as if the top laner has worked hard, achieved certain results, and pushed it to the bottom lane, but when he looks back, his middle lane and bottom lane have collapsed, and his teammates are still scolding the top laner.
I am not good at it alone and I don’t know how to work in a team...
Who can blame this?
Who can say that?
"Since we are worshiping Zhengxi, we can naturally open a mansion..." A slightly older middle-aged man said, stroking his beard silently.
The middle-aged man has a handsome appearance, long eyebrows, long beard, and graceful sleeves. He looks very elegant.
Build teeth and open a mansion.
Whether it is possible to build a new family is an important watershed for a local military position.
Although the general's jurisdiction is very large, in fact it often depends on the cooperation of local institutions. For example, if Fei Qian wants to mobilize soldiers from Hexi and Dongxihe counties, Wang Yi or
Cui Jun would buy some face from time to time, but if Fei Qian sent the order to Youzhou saying that he wanted to mobilize the troops of Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du, then it would probably be nonsense.
According to the system, there are not many formal subordinate officers under the jurisdiction of the Huxiong Zhonglang general. It is usually set to two people and a number of captains. Therefore, when Fei Qian arranged subordinate officials before, he sometimes used local official positions.
arranged, but in this way, sometimes these subordinate officials have to accept a dual identity. On the one hand, they are officials of Feiqian, and on the other hand, they may be restricted by other local officials.
For example, Jia Qu back then.
But things are different now.
"There are many men who have been appointed to protect the Hungarians, but how many will be needed to conquer the west?" The speaker was another young man, also a good-looking man, elegant and handsome.
Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, no fewer than twenty or thirty people have been awarded the title of "Zhonglang General" to protect the Huns, while the number of "Generals to Conquer the West" can be counted on one hand, even less than the number of generals, hussars, and chariot generals.
The reason for this phenomenon is mainly because the Han Dynasty has been in peace for a long time.
Although there were many wars and ups and downs at the border, it was relatively peaceful most of the time. Especially after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expelled the Huns, there were no major wars. Therefore, such as protecting the Huns Zhonglang
General, Protector of Wuhuan, General of Du Liao, etc. have become more important frontier military positions, while generals of the Four Directions have basically become empty positions.
At this time, the generals in the Han Dynasty were still very few and noble. In many cases, there was only one general above the general Zhonglang.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the three generals sent by the central government to quell the chaos were all generals named Zhonglang.
The random use of general names is something that comes later. At this point, a serious general who conquers the west is extremely precious.
The purpose of the middle-aged and young people talking about this matter is actually to tell another person who is sitting in the main seat in the private room but has been silent. The current matter will change with Fei Qian's position. , it started to become tricky and difficult to deal with.
"So what about the expedition to the west?" The man who looked like a noble man in gorgeous clothes sitting at the top of the table, after pondering for a long time, still said, "On the battlefield, we are not as good as the expedition to the west, but here..."
The man who looked like a noble prince nodded vaguely and lowered his voice and said: "...the expedition to the west started in the days of duckweed. I have been doing various things. I have been trying to figure it out for a long time. Now that I can enjoy a high position, it is nothing more than recruiting Hu cavalry. Cultivate fields and build a school. Now Brother Zixie is very famous in the school. Brother Meng Zhang has been working hard, how can he give up so easily?"
"...Furthermore, I also have the approval of the General of Chariots and Cavalry. If there are any changes..." Your Excellency slightly arched his hands to the east, showed respect, and said, "...I will send the general into Baijing to assist. !”
This sentence is the most crucial.
After your young master told it, he also showed some complacency.
The General of Zhengxi is certainly a high-ranking official, but what if he is compared to the General of Chariots and Cavalry?
The middle-aged man and the young man looked at each other and saw that the gentleman-like figure was determined not to give up until he reached his goal, so after pondering for a moment, they both nodded silently...
"However, there is one more thing..." the middle-aged man said, "...I heard that Zidu has... recovered?"
When talking about this matter, the noble man twitched his lips secretly, and then put on a sad look, and said: "Brother from a certain clan...how can I be so jealous of talented people! Alas...after all, the clan My brother has been in bed for ten months, and now he is even more skinny...sigh..."
The middle-aged man said "Oh", nodded, pondered for a while, and suddenly said softly: "The moonrise is bright, and there are outstanding people. Such a beautiful woman is so beautiful, but there is nothing I can do..."
When the young man heard this, he looked up at the middle-aged man, and then quickly turned his head to look at the noble master. Then he lowered his head, subconsciously picked up the meat-cutting knife, and gently cut off a piece of the burnt meat, waiting for preparation. When I put it in my mouth, I suddenly thought of something, and I felt a little nauseous, so I put down the meat burnt and the knife, picked up the elephant chopsticks, picked up some dishes from the bean plate, put it in my mouth, and then put it in my mouth. Show an image of being intoxicated with delicious food.
The noble young master turned to look at the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man raised the wine cup as if nothing had happened, and then said quietly: "The sky has been sunny recently, which is a good time to watch the moon. If I stay for a few more days, the haze and rain will continue. When it comes, the bright moon will no longer be visible..."
The noble prince frowned and said, "What do you think?"
The middle-aged man smiled, raised his wine cup to signal to the noble young master again, and said: "It doesn't matter what someone wants, it depends on what the young master wants."
Suddenly there was silence in the table.
The noble prince glared at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and kept toasting.
The young man on the side tilted his head slightly, not looking at the two of them, as if he didn't hear or see anything.
After a long time, the noble master gritted his teeth and said, "Good! I already know about this... But outside the wooden tablet, in the smelly room, I have troubled you two..."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
"Natural, natural..."
The three of them had a drink together in silence, and then chatted for a few more words. The man who looked like the noble son left the table first. The middle-aged man and the young man sent the noble son out for a while, and after taking him away,
The two of them returned to the private room again and sat down.
"...Brother Zixie," the young man thought for a moment and said, "Ziming is a man who is clumsy and clumsy, flashy and greedy, and is not good enough to accomplish anything..."
The middle-aged man showed a sarcastic smile and said, "How could I not know?"
The young man didn't quite understand and said, "Then why does Brother Zixie..."
The middle-aged man did not answer directly, but slowly picked up the elephant chopsticks and started eating and drinking. After a long time, he said: "No harvest of rats, how can I find fertile soil?"
The young man opened his eyes wide and said: "...Brother Zixie means..."
The middle-aged man shook his head, put the chopsticks in front of his mouth, hissed, and pointed at the dishes.
The young man nodded understandingly and said no more words. Instead, he and the middle-aged man concentrated on eating and drinking together...
…………………………
However, the noble prince sat unsteadily on his horse and returned to his residence in Pingyang.
This is a large courtyard with three entrances. Although from the outside, you can only see some white walls and blue bricks, and several building corners slanting out among the greenery. There is nothing too conspicuous, but when you hang your hands outside the door
The two servants and two strong men standing can already explain some problems.
Seeing that the noble master was back, the servant at the door trotted forward, took the reins of the horse, and helped the noble master to dismount, while hurriedly greeting: "Open the door quickly, Mr. Chen is back!"
The servant behind the door heard the sound and quickly opened the side door, preparing to welcome the noble master in.
The noble master habitually opened his legs and was about to enter the door. He suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly to look at the tightly locked main door and the two beasts above the red door...
"...Chen Langjun...Chen Lang Jun?" The servant didn't know why the noble master stopped and asked softly in confusion.
The noble master suddenly realized that he withdrew his gaze, then smiled and said in a concealed manner: "There seems to be dust on the door, so you must wipe it off diligently..."
"Wei, only..."
The servant hurriedly agreed, and then secretly glanced at the door. On the door, the bright red paint could be seen, and the bronze on the door knocker was also polished and shiny, under the sunlight. Sparkling, where did the dust come from?
But since Mr. Chen has said so, let’s just rub it in again...
After entering the side door, turned around the screen wall, then entered the second entrance, passed through the cloister, and then arrived in the courtyard of the second entrance. A young man, probably less than twenty years old, was holding a book in the hall and reading.
Seeing the noble prince coming, the young man put down his book, sat upright on the table for a moment, cupped his hands, and said, "I've seen my uncle..."
The noble prince put on a smile, sat down at the table, and said kindly: "Yin Zhi, we are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite... We are studying? By the way, why didn't we go to the academy today? ?”
The young man, Wang Hei and Wang Yinzhi, cupped their hands and replied: "Uncle, I have a rest in the academy today."
In accordance with the custom of Han government officials, the Academy had a bathing break every five days. Of course, not everyone could enjoy such a bathing break. Those who excelled in studies could naturally find a doctor or a sacrificial wine and get it. The wooden sign allows you to go down to Pingyang from Taoshan to go shopping, shopping, eating, drinking, or doing other things. But those who are not good at studying can only stay in the academy...
Anyway, in China, from ancient times to the present, people who do not study well have no human rights to speak of. This is an unspoken rule recognized by everyone.
"Oh..." Your Excellency slapped his forehead and said, "... I almost forgot about my nephew... Since it is Mu Xiu, why study hard here? You should have a good rest. The sage said that you need to relax and have some time. It’s time…”
"Wei." Since his uncle Wang Chen had said so, Wang Hei had no choice but to nod, put down the scroll in his hand, and let the servants on the side put it away first.
The noble prince Wang Chen smiled with satisfaction, then came closer and whispered: "... Nephew, the singer your uncle gave you a few days ago... are you satisfied?"
Wang Hei was a little embarrassed and nodded slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Wang Chen smiled more and more gently, "Nephew, you don't have to be like this. You must know the ethics of human relations, which is the way of a saint...Besides..." Halfway through, Wang Chen suddenly stopped smiling, shook his head and sighed, "...Oh, Now the old man... alas, brother Zidu also... alas..."
Wang Chen reached out and patted Wang Hei's shoulder, and said seriously: "...If it hadn't been delayed because of..., my nephew would be getting married now, so there would be no need for my uncle to bother... But... Well, it is also good to open the branches and spread the leaves earlier... By the way, Mencius once said, "There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having any descendants. Shun married without complaining, which was considered to have no descendants. A gentleman thought that he would still complain.", so this matter There is no need to inform the old man and his brother Zidu. Moreover, he is just a singer, and he has not formally accepted the marriage. After all, this is a trivial matter, so there is no need to alarm the old man and his brother Zidu. It is only right to let them rest and recover... "
Wang Hei felt that there seemed to be some truth to it, and because of his young age, he was too shy to speak out about it, so he nodded.
Wang Chen smiled with satisfaction, then laughed loudly, and drove Wang Hei to the backyard, saying: "A wise man sitting alone in a desk, and a beautiful lady guarding an empty room, what a disgrace to the scenery! Go, go, it is a lesson. Isn't it a pity to sit here with someone while I'm resting, naturally caressing my hair, playing with my red makeup, rubbing my ears and temples, playing the harp and harp, and wasting such a good time with someone else? Let's go, let's go..."
Wang Hei blushed, but when Wang Chen said this, and the young man was full of energy, he naturally felt a little moved, so he held his hands in confusion and said goodbye to the backyard.
Wang Chen looked at Wang Hei's retreating back with a smile. When he could no longer see his clothes fluttering on the corridor, he slowly stopped smiling, pulling down the corners of his eyes and mouth, revealing a cold gaze.
It's a pity that although Pingyang is prosperous now, it is still newly built after all. Many of them are not as good as Luoyang, Chang'an, and even Taiyuan. The number of such top-grade singers is also rare. It took a long time to find such a one. It cannot be obtained from the Taiyuan family, otherwise God and the clan brothers will know something about it...
Wang Chenba smacked his mouth twice, but he still felt a little regretful in his heart. He had personally inspected the singer who gave it to Wang Hei. Naturally, he knew how smooth and pleasant it was under the red dress. If it weren't for it, Bewitch and win Wang Hei's trust, otherwise the charming Hong Wan will get Wang Hei's turn?
snort.
Wang Chen looked up at the sky and said silently in his heart, Hehe, brother Zidu, please relax, I will definitely take good care of my nephew, haha, I will take good care of my nephew...
