Chapter 80 Liu Jian, the master planner behind the scenes
Yuan Ji acted as the host and invited his two brothers, Liu Jian, Cao Cao, and Xu You to drink in the hall.
During today's banquet, Yuan Ji was no longer as reserved as usual, but opened his mind and heart. He was no longer rigid in his usual solemn and elegant manner, he was passionate and unrestrained, he frequently raised glasses, and from time to time he ordered people to play and blow.
Go, sing happily.
Liu Jian found that people in Lao Yuan's family seemed to like singing very much. Especially when they drank enough wine, they would quickly start singing, and they were very immersed in singing. Their voices were not only loud and clear, but also wavy, wave after wave.
.
This is true for Yuan Ji, so is Yuan Shao, and so is Yuan Shu.
When they reached the happy point of singing, the Yuan brothers also stood up from their seats together, holding wine glasses in the room, waving their big sleeves, and danced one after another. When they waved their sleeves, they were so hard that they almost stopped growing.
His long sleeves were thrown into his brother's face.
Xu You was a bit of a arrogant person, so when he saw others getting excited about dancing, he actually started dancing too.
Liu Jian thought to himself, this kid is a bastard. It is understandable that the three brothers reminisced about their hardships and sweet memories, and recalled the prosperous past years of their family. They sang and danced so well. Are you just a piece of cake? Do you have to dance with me? Your surname is Yuan too?
He and Cao Cao were both sitting upright, drinking and applauding, cheering for the four people who were singing and dancing in the audience.
But obviously, this atmosphere is not enough in Yuan Ji's eyes.
People are sweating profusely from dancing in the field, why are you sitting here? Why are your butts so heavy?
So, while Yuan Ji was jumping, he reached out and hooked his fingers at Liu Jian and Cao Cao respectively, and raised his eyebrows at the same time. The meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.
Eat your numbness and come here to have fun.
Since the boss of the Yuan family extended such a warm invitation, it was naturally impossible for Cao Cao and Liu Jian to just sit aside and watch the monkey show.
So, the two of them also held wine cups, chanted Han Yuefu lyrics loudly, and joined the army of madmen in the field with laughter.
Scholars in the Han Dynasty were related to each other by dancing. It was common for them to flutter their sleeves and have fun in the banquet under the influence of wine. The Yuan family and Cao Cao and Xu You had nothing to do with each other, but the problem was that Liu Jian really couldn't accept it.
It's not that he doesn't want to dance. To be honest, Liu Jian still likes dancing. When he was young in his previous life, he signed up for a dance class to look cool. The problem is that the dance Liu Jian likes is different from what Yuan Ji and the others are dancing at this time.
Dance is completely two styles.
What do Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu dance? They hold a wine cup and form a circle. While walking to the rhythm, they shake their sleeves vigorously in an attempt to hit the rafters. It's the same as the zombie dance.
Liu Jian was extremely uncomfortable with this dull dance pace.
The eagles of kindergarten children in future generations will be more agile than this in catching chickens, right?
He followed four people in a circle in the field, which was really annoying.
Finally, Liu Jian couldn't hold it in anymore. He stepped into the open space where everyone was circling, lifted up the long skirt of his skirt and tied it behind his waist, and performed a full Thomas pirouette on the spot!
Fortunately, Liu Jian's body has been trained since childhood and he has practiced martial arts in the border areas all year round. He has very strong skills and is much stronger than Liu Jian's body in his previous life. Although the clothes are not suitable, he can still fight with a full spin.
came out.
When Thomas made a full spin, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were dumbfounded.
Don't you think this brother of the Emperor's clan is actually good at strange dances?
The musicians playing music beside the hall suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at Liu Jian in surprise.
Obviously, this was their first time seeing dancing like this.
Yuan Ji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "I don't think Deran is actually good at strange dances?"
"You should not be offended if you show off your clumsy skills in a moment of excitement."
"Why are you so weird! Come on, come on, let's play music! Let's dance! Let's change to military music, and it should be high-spirited!"
…
…
After a while, everyone sat down again. Everyone was drinking and dancing. They were so drunk that they obviously couldn't hold it any longer.
Yuan Ji wiped his sweat and looked at Liu Jian with a smile.
In less than three days, the reputation of the Liu family's younger brother, who is good at strange dances, will surely spread throughout Luoyang again.
Several people drank for a while again, and suddenly saw Yuan Ji clapping his hands.
Then I saw two maids walking out of the back hall, each carrying a long wooden box.
Then, two maids placed the long wooden box in front of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Jixian said to Yuan Shao: "Tan'er is seven years old this year, and it is time for him to formally study classics and martial arts. He is in Runan's family. You, the father, can't discipline him, and I, the uncle, can't help.
Busy, this box contains the completed copy of the Xiping Stone Classic. You have it sent back to Runan and handed over to Tan'er to be taught by his teacher. This can be regarded as my uncle doing my best for his career."
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Ji in surprise.
He never thought that Yuan Ji was thinking about his eldest son.
"Brother, these are things I should be doing... Why bother brother..."
"Why are you talking about this? Although you have passed by the second uncle's house, we are still from the same father. You are my brother. If I don't think about this for you, who will think about you? These years, you have been wandering around
Although you have achieved such a great reputation among party members, you have also taken risks that we have never taken. As a brother, I am here today to thank you on behalf of the Yuan family... As a brother, I have always regarded you as a member of our family!"
Yuan Shao sighed with emotion: "Brother, if you say that, you will really hurt our brothers..."
These touching words of Yuan Ji were usually told by Yuan Shao himself to others... But in this world, the only person in this world who is qualified to speak to him like this and make him feel deeply in his heart is probably his half-brother.
Did it.
Cao Cao on the side looked at Yuan Ji in surprise, he really didn't expect that he was the one who did these things today.
Most of the heroes in the county used this method to interact with each other...
Thinking of this, Cao Cao seemed to suddenly think of something, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Jian.
Liu Jian seemed to sense something, and he turned to look at Cao Cao.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
When he was young, he saw Cao Cao raising the wine cup in his hand and gesturing towards Liu Jian from a distance.
It seems that he knows who arranged today's situation.
Liu Jian sighed secretly, and then raised his wine baron to signal to Cao Cao.
But what can you do if Cao Cao understands? Today's situation, the general trend is ours.
Yuan Ji set up such a formation, Yuan Shao must bow his head.
On the other side, Yuan Shu looked at his box curiously.
"Brother, my son is not yet old enough to study scriptures..."
"You!"
Yuan Ji's face suddenly straightened up, and he said to Yuan Shu in a somewhat annoyed tone: "Can you cause less trouble outside every day?"
"Brother, what happened to me?" Yuan Shu's expression seemed a little aggrieved.
"Do you know how the outside world evaluates you now?"
"How do you rate it?"
"You are said to do good deeds as you please, and those who do good deeds will be willing to get along with you!"
Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Brother, that's an exaggeration! It's an exaggeration at first glance! It's not like you don't know the friends I make in daily life, they are not all the so-called 'people who do good things'! Chen Gui
The relationship with me is very good. I know his reputation after all, right? Besides, it’s not because of me that the good guys want to go to Yuanmen. The main reason is the origin! The main reason is because of him and it has nothing to do with me!"
Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Why does it involve me again?"
Yuan Ji waved his hand and said: "Anyway, I have already contacted everyone in the court. In the coming year, all positions in the capital will be changed as usual. I will ask all the officials in the court to give advice and inform the Chancellor to work hard for you.
With the position of Colonel Changshui, you and Deran will be in charge of two of the five battalions of the Northern Army together from now on, so you can hone yourself, change your old bad habits, and learn from the original corporal Zhejie!"
"Brother, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance? This will cost 12 million yuan to repair the palace..."
"My brother gave you the money to repair the palace. I don't need you to pay five baht!"
"That's not what I meant. I'm not short of the eighteen million. It's just that my brother didn't discuss it with me in advance..."
Yuan Ji looked at him sideways: "I'll find you a position in the fifth school of the Northern Army, so what? I still have to discuss with you whether the position is high enough? Am I wronging you?"
Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "No, no, thank you brother!"
Yuan Ji let out a long sigh: "After you become the Captain of Changshui, you must change your bad habits. Don't let your reputation as a 'drought ghost on the road' cause people to add 'Yuan Changshui' in front of it."
The Yuan family can't afford to lose that person!"
Yuan Shu laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry, this is absolutely impossible."
"In the wooden box in front of you are some qi-tonifying tonics, which your sister-in-law spent a lot of money to buy for Yao'er. My nephew is young and frail. As a father, you spend all day outside, but you are...
I have neglected my own son! In the future, when racing outside, think about my own children first!"
When Yuan Shu heard this, a look of guilt appeared on his face.
The three brothers of the Yuan family were talking there, and Cao Cao became more and more admired as he listened.
He did not admire Yuan Ji, but admired Liu Jian.
He has known Yuan Shao for a long time. Although he has little contact with Yuan Ji, he has known him for many years and knows to some extent his behavior.
What happened today, whether it was towards Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, was a combination of grace and power, done just right, and a combination of kindness and family affection. It was really a clever move.
And if nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Ji will definitely have a big move to slowly capture the hearts of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Then, he was seen turning his gaze to Liu Jian not far away again.
After all, I didn’t catch this person, what a pity, what a pity!
