Chapter 479: The Seventh Son is the First, but His Talent Is Not Appreciated
Xu Chu's voice was very scary. Most of the soldiers guarding the city gate were Liu Biao's old troops. Although they surrendered to Cao Cao, they were still wary of the generals in Cao Cao's army.
Especially for reckless men like Xu Chu, they were most afraid of being beaten by people like Xu Chu and not being able to find a place to complain.
The soldiers defending the city were hiding far away. In stark contrast, was the little man in front of the three of them——
He was neither humble nor arrogant, and after doing all the courtesy, he looked at Xu Chu being cruel with a smile on his face.
Yi Xiaotian found it strange, because he had never seen anyone who was not surprised and scared when meeting Xu Chu like this, so he asked this person:
"I don't know your name? I'm Yi Xiaotian, this is Miss Zhen Luo, she's mine..."
Yi Xiaotian paused.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out Zhen Luo's identity to him.
But the little man opposite had an "I understand, I understand" expression on his face.
"Hahaha, Master Yi does not need to introduce too much, I have already heard about it."
The other party held up his hands and said to Yi Xiaotian with a smile:
"My dear, Wang Can, is now the chief registrar of Xiangyang. As for why the Xiangyang clans mentioned by the Marquis of Guannei didn't come to greet you, there are some reasons. Why don't we talk about it as we go?"
"Are you Wang Can?"
Zhen Luo was still shy, because she seemed to feel Yi Xiaotian's embarrassment just now, and her mind had wandered to nowhere.
But when Yi Xiaotian heard the name Wang Can, he suddenly exclaimed.
Yi Xiaotian is very familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, but because of his appearance over the years, if he really wants to find the characters he wants to see, he will probably have to put some effort into it.
A person is never fixed in a certain place unless he dies.
And this Wang Can was the one that Yi Xiaotian really wanted to get to know - the so-called first of the seven sons of Jian'an, who was called "King Cao" together with Cao Zhi in later generations, he was Wang Can.
"ah?"
Wang Can calmed down for a long time, but was startled by Yi Xiaotian.
"Could it be that the owner of the village has heard of my name?"
"Then...then I will be really lucky in the next three lives!"
Wang Can, who was calm and composed, could no longer pretend. He only envied and admired Cao Cao, the owner of Yi Village who was full of legends about gods and immortals, but he never expected him to remember him... After all, his life had lasted for more than 20 years.
, life was not very satisfactory...
Knowing Yi Xiaotian's name was like giving him a shot in the arm. Wang Can suddenly became excited and stepped forward to hold Yi Xiaotian's hand.
"Come on, come on! Master Yi, let's talk as we walk, talk as we walk! No... why don't we go to Fangyuan Pavilion in the city! Today, I will cleanse the dust for you!"
Swallowed by this sudden enthusiasm, Yi Xiaotian and the others were inexplicably pulled into Xiangyang City by a little man.
——
Fangyuan Pavilion, the largest restaurant in Xiangyang.
Just like the Jubin Tower in the north, the Fangyuan Pavilion in the south is also open in many states and counties.
However, unlike the Jubin Building in the north, the food and wine here have a unique flavor. Of course... they are not actually to Yi Xiaotian's taste.
But Yi Xiaotian still knew what he was here to do today.
Wang Can was very happy. He chatted with Yi Xiaotian along the way. Yi Xiaotian's rich knowledge seemed to hit it off with him. Wang Can's full of ink was also poured out today. It was as if he had met Wang Can, who was like a confidant. He held his own
That poor salaryman ordered a table of wine and food.
Of course Xu Chu didn't think that much. If someone invited him to dinner, then this person must be of good character. What Xu Chu thought was as simple as this:
"Hahaha, you are quite good at being a good person. If you hadn't done so beautifully today, I would have wanted to ask these Xiangyang aristocratic families for an explanation."
On the way here, Yi Xiaotian and others learned that Cao Cao had already informed Yi Xiaotian that he was coming to Xiangyang.
It's just that Cao Cao left in a hurry. After he went south to pursue Liu Bei that day, he had no time to take care of other things in the city. All the noble families kicked the task of welcoming Yi Xiaotian back and forth, but in the end no one mentioned it. It seemed that the matter was about to be shelved.
.
The reason why the aristocratic family is so indifferent is of course very simple, because Yi Xiaotian is not a marquis, he is a hermit and a businessman.
For various identities, one is that they do not have an upper-class status that matches that of a wealthy family. They look down on the so-called owner of Youjian Villa. The other reason is naturally that Yi Xiaotian is a businessman. As a businessman, he naturally has an essential relationship with these people.
Conflict of interest.
Fortunately, it was something that no one wanted to do. Wang Can was the first to stand up. Wang Can, who still admired Yi Xiaotian, had been looking forward to the stars and the moon since the day he took over the matter, and finally waited for Yi Xiaotian to come.
on this day…
"Brother Yi! Brother Yi! This cup is for you!"
"Marquis Guannei! I hit it off like old friends with Marquis Guannei, and I dedicate this cup to you!"
"Brothers and sisters! Don't be polite, brothers and sisters. I will help my brothers and sisters and Brother Yi have a baby soon! I'll drink this cup!"
"ah!"
Zhen Luo was a little overwhelmed by this sudden fright.
"Oh, Brother Wang... what are you talking about... Luo'er... Luo'er is just Mr.'s bookboy..."
With a "yeah" sound, Zhen Luo jumped up from the chair, quickly ran out of the private room with small steps...
Wang Can looked dumbfounded at this, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Xu Chu just laughed, and Yi Xiaotian helplessly looked at the "over-enthusiastic" Wang Can and smiled softly.
——
Of course, Zhen Luo returned to the private room later and did not dare to look at Yi Xiaotian again after returning from the fight.
Yi Xiaotian seemed to be a little slow to react and didn't notice anything was wrong. The main reason was that when he first came to Xiangyang, he felt all kinds of strange looks on the road. It seemed that... Xiangyang City was quite hostile to him.
"I heard from Brother Hao and Prime Minister Cao that I can freely choose all the mountains outside Xiangyang City. Is this true?"
However, Yi Xiaotian got to the point as quickly as possible.
He came here just to build his own Youjian Villa in this land south of the Yangtze River. As long as the villa is 10%, when the business of Youjian Villa is spread, it will be much more convenient to develop in the south and east of the Yangtze River.
In response, Wang Can nodded, but soon showed a troubled expression.
"Why, is there something else that is unspeakable and hidden here?"
"this…"
Wang Can actually has a good drinking capacity. Although he kept toasting today, he actually felt very clear in his heart.
The more he saw that Yi Xiaotian was generous and peaceful, the more he felt sorry for Yi Xiaotian and felt that there was nothing he could do to help.
"Brother Wang, it doesn't matter. I, Yi Xiaotian, have never been afraid of any trouble."
Yi Xiaotian patted Wang Can on the shoulder and said to him confidently.
Only then did Wang Can tell the truth about Xiangyang today.
