Gongsun Xun has seen too many things like singing and dancing. After all, he is considered to be a semi-popular figure in Luozhong. Although he rarely enjoys it, he has enough knowledge, so he doesn't pay too much attention to it.
In fact, there was really nothing to worry about. I saw an old man in commoner clothes and a few musicians come in and bow to each other, and then they brought out the harps, drums and flutes, and the old man took the lead in playing a harp solo to entertain everyone... Well, to be honest
, not as good as Cai Yong, that is, the local style is different, just listen to the tune.
In short, just as Gongsun Xun expected, Mrs. Ding took advantage of the dance opportunity to leave immediately, and even took the infant Cao Ang with her. However, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, two half-grown urchins, still stayed.
Here, everyone didn't take it seriously and just held a banquet with the sound of the piano.
Of course, it's a banquet, and there's no etiquette at all. This is mainly because Cao Mengde himself is a loser, and Gongsun Xun is actually quite annoyed by those things. And since the host and the guest are all like that, and there are no elders here, then
Naturally, it is inevitable to be a little wild.
First, Gongsun Xun talked about the situation in Luoyang that day after Cao Cao left without saying goodbye, which aroused everyone's surprise. But maybe after Cao Cao returned home, he realized that he was unlikely to be an official again in a short time, so he was a little impatient with this topic.
Finally, I don’t know when, everyone started talking about jokes and anecdotes from various places.
"Last year, Hua Tuo and Hua Yuanrang returned home to worship their ancestors. However, as soon as he came back, a family from the Liang Kingdom invited him over." Cao De said seriously to Gongsun Xun, who was sitting at the top next to Cao Cao.
It was also obvious that the other party was particularly interested in this story of Hua Tuo. "It was said that his master had a hard lump in his belly, as hard as steel, and the pain was unbearable. Hua Yuanrang did not refuse and went directly. Unexpectedly, he
As soon as we got there, the man was already dead..."
"Could it be the living dead?" Gongsun Xun asked curiously.
"No." Cao De shook his head repeatedly. "That man is dead and cannot die anymore, but he had last words before he died. He must dig out the hard lump in his belly and let Hua Tuo see with his own eyes what it was.
Otherwise, I will never rest in peace! Although the man's son was reluctant to give up, he could not disobey his father's fate after all, so he reluctantly dug out the contents of his father's belly, which was something like a copper and iron spearhead."
Gongsun Xun became more and more fascinated by the music. At this time, when the old man finished playing the music, he was quite sensible, so he stopped his instrument and retreated to the front of the hall, just there to apologize.
"The family gave this thing to Hua Tuo. Hua Yuanrang couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. Then he took out a medicine from the box and put it on the spearhead. The copper and iron spearhead turned into a puddle of wine." Cao Deyan.
He couldn't help but feel solemn at this point. "According to what Hua Yuanrang said, drinking alcohol is absolutely forbidden, otherwise it will turn into hard objects everywhere in the body, and once it occurs, the pain will be unbearable..."
"Fart!" Cao Cao, who had just poured the wine for Gongsun Xun, suddenly expressed a look. "In life, what you want is for wine to enter your throat and have a good time. This story must be about that idiot Na Hua who doesn't understand the three flavors in wine.
Tuo made a name for himself and deliberately disgusted people of our generation! Drinking just gives you a headache and a stomachache for a while, but why will it last a lifetime?"
Cao De hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not dare to talk back to his brother, so he could only obey.
However, when Gongsun Xun heard this, he shook his head first and then nodded, and then raised his glass again: "Brother Meng De even said, in life, whether you are proud or frustrated, you can have fun first, with good wine and friends by your side, I want to
What’s next...drink this cup to the full!”
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he immediately laughed with relief and raised his glass: "Well said, Wen Qi is proud, and I, Cao Mengde, am frustrated, but we meet close friends, no matter what happens tomorrow, let's drink...
Du Yin, Zi Bo, and that Han Yigong, Du Yin, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, you two can also have a drink together!"
Everyone laughed immediately and drank it all in one gulp. Even the two naughty boys Cao Ren and Cao Chun had a maid come up and pour half a glass of wine, and then drank it temporarily.
I don't know if it was because of drinking. After putting down the glass, Cao Ren, who was only ten years old, suddenly stood up and took the initiative to talk about a mysterious thing.
"My eldest brother was not in our Qiao County that day, so I didn't see it." Cao Ren gestured and said, almost dancing. "The yellow dragon's eyes are bigger than the lantern, and they can also glow at night, so it has been lying in the well.
Let people watch...and then wait until one day when there is a heavy storm, and when you go to see it the next day, the dragon has disappeared. I heard my adults say that when the yellow dragon encounters wind and rain, it can rise up!"
What Cao Ren said, and Gongsun Xun also knew, was the most famous thing in Qiao County in the past few years... In March of the fifth year of Xiping, a Huanglong appeared in a well in Qiao County, but then suddenly disappeared. The matter was reported by the then
Wang Ji, the Prime Minister of the State of Pei, reported to the court and was designated as an auspicious sign for the emperor to come of age and rule.
"It's all nonsense!" However, after hearing this, Cao Cao, who was sitting at the top, immediately scolded him after taking a few photos. "Cao Ren, I was not in Qiao County that day, but you were here?! How can I remember?
Were you and your father in Luoyang that year when Huang Long met Qiao? Was your uncle serving as the captain of Changshui in Luoyang at that time? How could you keep telling lies when you didn't learn well at a young age? "
As soon as these words came out, the whole room burst into laughter, and even Han Dang, who had been listening most raptly before, smiled awkwardly.
Cao Ren's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, my friends all said so, and it's true when I think about it..."
"What a piece of shit!" Cao Cao shot several cases again, not showing any shame to the naughty boy. "I'll ask you again, you also said that the yellow dragon was in the well at that time. How big is the mouth of the well? Why are the eyes so different?
Like a lantern? Then if the Huanglong goes up to the sky, its eyes are like lanterns, but how can it have eyes as big as lanterns when it's in the well?"
Everyone burst into laughter again, but Cao Ren couldn't say a word after being scolded by his elder brother, and could only make blind gestures... which only made people laugh even more.
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head and laugh... This was later the number one general of the Cao family, the top general who had repeatedly served in various fields. But now he is no different from the ordinary naughty kid who likes to brag. Of course, those eight thousand broken ten
Thinking about it, Zhang Liao, who was thousands of years old, was just fighting in the countryside all day long. Meanwhile, Cao Chun, who would lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the future, didn't even know how to brag. He just laughed along with the others.
Then his angry brother was furious.
"But..." After he finished laughing, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but asked curiously. "Everyone in the world knows about Huang Long's meeting with Qiao. I guess it's not just a matter of catching wind and shadow, right?"
Cao Cao picked up a glass of wine and drank it from Gu Zi, but he raised his hand and pointed at Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan immediately nodded and replied seriously: "To be honest, Dr. Gongsun also has an elder brother. I was indeed at home that day, so after the incident came out, I went to the well to see the dragon. It was nonsense to see the dragon with eyes as big as lanterns, but it turned out to be true.
It is all yellow and looks quite magical..."
"Is there really a dragon?" Cao Cao was immediately surprised. "I thought it was a dragon!"
"I thought it was a dragon evil too!" Lou Gui, who had been just listening to the story, suddenly said.
The so-called dragon evil... refers to the unprovoked auspicious rumors about dragons. According to Confucian interpretation, it is a sign that the emperor cannot control the situation.
Moreover, it is normal for Cao Cao to have this idea. In fact, if the dragon had not appeared in Qiao County, Gongsun Xun would have believed that it was a rumor... After all, Prime Minister Pei was Wang Ji, the nephew of Wang Fu, the man in power.
And with Wang Fun's unscrupulousness, it was normal for the emperor to do this kind of thing to fool the emperor when he came of age and handed over power.
In fact, there was once a knowledgeable person who explained things like dragon evil very clearly.
For example, there was a similar rumor in Bajun, saying that there was a dragon in a pond, and the prefect of Bajun wanted to report it, but an honest official below simply revealed the answer... It turned out that the weather was hot at that time, and many people
They went down to the pool to take a bath, and when they saw something in the water that made it turbid, they joked to each other that there was a dragon in it... In fact, no one saw it with their own eyes.
But listening to Xia Houyuan's words, it seemed that he had witnessed it with his own eyes that day, which inevitably made Cao Mengde a little stunned. Because others didn't know it, Cao Cao knew very well how real his brother-in-law was.
In fact, not only Cao Cao, but also Gongsun Xun had already changed his expression, and his thoughts were even more complicated... The yellow dragon was seen in Qiao, if there really is a dragon, it must be in your Cao family, right?!
However, does destiny really exist? If it does exist, then wouldn’t it be a joke that my little thought of rising up after seeing the other party in Luozhong was in a state of desolation?
As soon as he thought about this, Gongsun Xun became increasingly confused and uncertain.
"That thing is indeed miraculous." Xia Houyuan was already continuing to talk about what he had seen. "It was covered in yellow with black spots and had dragon whiskers. It just stayed at the bottom of the well, and the water in the well was turbid. I stood guard at the mouth of the well.
After walking for half a day, I only saw half a scale. The bottom of the well was dark, and I couldn’t tell whether it was a scale..."
"How big is it?" Cao Cao asked seriously.
"It's hard to say." Xia Houyuan gestured slightly. "Maybe it's as long as an arm?"
Cao Cao immediately raised his glass and sneered: "I didn't expect that even talented people were deceived. Let me just say... The water in the well was muddy. There was something yellow about an arm's length. Maybe the water in the well was polluted, and then there was a yellow streak that had accumulated over the years.
Spicy dices popped out from underneath! Or maybe it was just a yellow water snake!"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh out loud... He finally had some magical respect for this guy, but it was ruined by this guy's words.
"I didn't believe it that day either." Xia Houyuan said sternly. "But my brother didn't know that when the yellow dragon disappeared that night, there was a strong wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and everyone in the county could see the dragon hanging in the sky, and the lightning was shining, and it was me.
I also sat up from the couch and watched the wind and rain for half the night."
As soon as these words were said, everyone in the hall, from Cao De to Cao Ren, from Han Dang to Lou Gui, was in awe.
"How did you know it was a dragon?" Cao Cao put down his wine glass and still shook his head. "It is natural for dragons to appear in the sky during thunderstorms. The unknown thing in the well may even mean that the water in the well surged that night and escaped through the secret passage.
If you go out, you may not really be a dragon..."
Xia Houyuan was speechless for a moment, and Gongsun Xun also remembered the natural phenomenon of lightning that his mother taught him... He was also speechless for a moment.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Cao Cao seemed to be a little drunk from his own drink, so he continued to ask, "Where is the well?"
"Fifteen miles south of the county, Pheasant Township on the bank of the Whirlpool River." Xia Houyuan replied quickly.
"Let's go and have a look tomorrow!" Cao Cao took some pictures again. "Is Wen Qi coming? How many days can you stay?"
"I can only stay for three or four days," Gongsun Xun replied calmly. "However, I was going to go for a walk by the Wushi River, so it doesn't hurt to take a look."
Cao Cao immediately became curious: "Why are you going to the bank of the vortex?"
"My mother is from Qiao County, Pei State. She has been away from her hometown for more than twenty years. She only remembers living by the Wo River in the past. In this case, as a son of a human being, I came to Qiao County again. How could I not pay my respects to the Wo River?
"Gongsun Xun is quite confident.
"Why didn't Young Master tell us before?" Even Han Dang was a little surprised. "I never thought that the old lady was actually from Qiao County."
"I didn't expect Wenqi's mother's family to be from my hometown." Cao Cao also sighed for a moment. Not only that, everyone in Qiao County in the hall suddenly felt a little closer to him. "I don't know which family or clan it is, so what?"
Did you go to Liaoxi?"
"I don't know." Gongsun Xun had already suspected something in his mind, so he immediately shook his head calmly. "My family has never mentioned this matter, but judging from my mother's talent and knowledge, she must be from a wealthy family... I personally speculate that maybe she was a prisoner back then.
, he was sent to Liaoxi, and then the clan dispersed, so he married my father in Liaoxi."
"This is reasonable and reasonable." Cao Cao suddenly realized. "It has only been more than 20 years. At that time, many events were blurred, and it may not be possible to find out..."
"There's no need to pry." Gongsun Xun hurriedly said, "My master seems to be hiding something, so he doesn't want me to pursue this matter."
Everyone frowned when they heard this, but they had nothing to say.
"That's all." Cao Cao thought for a moment and stopped asking any more questions. Instead, he poured another glass of wine. "Where did you just talk about?"
"Speaking of which, tomorrow I will take Dr. Gongsun to see the ancient well where the yellow dragon appears." Cao De quickly reminded. "By the way, pay homage to Wu Shui."
"That's right." Cao Cao happily swallowed another glass of wine, and then said with a little emotion. "Actually, speaking of magical things, I have seen them with my own eyes, and it was just half a month ago."
Gongsun Xun's eyes widened immediately.
"The weather got hotter half a month ago." Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said proudly. "I was bored at home, so I abandoned the book in my hand and went hunting in the dense forest in the west of the county. I went there in a hurry, with just one horse, one sword, and one bow.
Just a raccoon dog..."
Gongsun Xun rarely sneered.
"I didn't find any important prey at first. I just shot two rabbits and a pheasant." Cao Cao continued. "However, in the afternoon, I tied my horse in the forest and took a nap in the shade of a tree.
But suddenly I felt a gust of fishy wind, and then the horses neighed. After waking up, I hurriedly stood up with a knife, but I saw an eye-catching white-fronted tiger leaping out of the forest..."
Hearing this, Gongsun Xun was doubtful; Xia Houyuan just rubbed his knees, feeling a little restless; Cao De lowered his head and said nothing; Lou Gui twirled his beard and sneered; on the other hand, Han Dang, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun, the two naughty children, opened their eyes wide.
It was as if he had listened.
"At that time, I was ready to fight hard." Cao Cao knocked on several cases with his wine glass, but he turned to talk to Gongsun Xun beside him. "Unexpectedly, when the tiger roared, my legs became weak first.
…”
Gongsun Xun had no expression on his face and said nothing, just waiting for the other party to continue speaking.
"But at this moment," seeing that the other party did not take the bait, Cao Mengde could only bite the bullet and pull it off. "The raccoon I was carrying... was the cat given by Wen Qi. Suddenly he stepped forward,
Jumped on the tiger's head..."
"Then the dazzling white-breasted tiger didn't dare to move and allowed you to escape?" Gongsun Xun asked with a sneer.
"No, no!" Cao Cao quickly shook his head. "How could I escape at that time? I just picked up the knife and chopped the tiger to death in the forest..."
"Where is the tiger?" Gongsun Xun spread his hands and asked unceremoniously.
"Bring it in, bring it in!" Cao Mengde, who had been prepared, threw down his wine glass and waved his hands and shouted, and then a tiger skin was actually carried in by several servants.
Cao De still bowed his head and said nothing, Xia Houyuan turned his head and said nothing, and then brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun immediately jumped into the hall excitedly to touch the dead tiger... But Gongsun Xun sneered again and nuzzled Han Dang.
.
After receiving the signal from his lord, Han Yigong immediately stepped forward and touched the tiger's head, and carefully inspected it... However, this inspection was not important, and after careful inspection, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Yi Gong, how many years has this tiger been dead?" Lou Gui on the side couldn't help but clasped his hands and asked with a smile, and then explained to Cao De who was sitting next to him. "Fathers are hard currency in northern Xinjiang, Yi Gong.
He is from Liaoxi, and even if he is not skilled in this kind of leather goods inspection, he should know a thing or two..."
Cao De was extremely embarrassed.
And sure enough, Han Dang shook his head repeatedly, then bowed to Gongsun Xun and said: "To be honest, young gentleman, this tiger has probably been dead for three to five years..."
Gongsun Xun raised his head and laughed loudly. Cao De and Xia Houyuan both blushed. However, Cao Mengde, who was demolished on the spot, kept his composure and did not panic at all.
But Cao Ren, this naughty boy, is interesting. When he saw him reaching out to his elder brother, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Elder brother said that I was bragging and lying, why am I bragging and lying again?"
"I'm bragging, what does it have to do with you?!" At this moment, Cao Cao finally became angry. "A child will lose his dignity after drinking two ounces of wine. Get out of here with me!"
"I'll go talk to my sister-in-law about this!" After saying this, Cao Ren was not angry, he just patted his butt and left.
Cao Mengde was so angry that he was so angry.
"Okay!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help being speechless when he saw this. "Brother Meng De, there's no need to pretend anymore. How much do you not want to return my cat to make up such an unbelievable thing? Didn't I say, this cat
It's my wife's favorite thing. You can't take it away for more than a few months. How can you not really love it? When I meet my wife, I will give you a similar one!"
Cao Mengde was also extremely embarrassed: "I won't hide anything from Wen Qi... That's all. I will explain it to you when I go to Guoshui tomorrow."
Gongsun Xun knew that there was something wrong, so he stopped pursuing it. However, after this commotion, the atmosphere of the banquet finally became a bit awkward, and everyone below was the subordinate of the two above, brothers, and it was difficult to interrupt.
"Young gentlemen, young master." At this moment, the old man playing the piano smiled wisely and stepped forward to bow. "Young master, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Among the people who sang the next song, Lou Gui reacted the fastest: "You old man took money when you came here, but now you have only played one piece of music. You are already advantaged, so why are you still invited?"
"
"I'll tell you the truth, young master," the old man quickly said with a flattering smile. "The person I'm asking for is exactly to present singing and dancing... Our Bian family is originally a Langya music family, and we have been musicians for generations. We also have some low-key things, but
Dancing alone."
"Then just bring it here..." Cao Cao also reacted, and then urged him again and again. "What else do you want to ask for?"
"Please use this tiger skin as a platform for me to perform a dance." The old man quickly leaned over and begged. "I wonder what your wishes are, young master?"
Gongsun Xun also suddenly realized it, and then he hurriedly raised his hands and laughed: "I was about to see your beauty's appearance and dancing!"

"Cao Cao often went hunting and encountered a lion. He killed many of them, so he led hundreds of warriors to attack them. The lion roared and moved quickly, and the left and right sides were frightened and sweating. Suddenly he saw something coming out of the forest, like a raccoon.
, climbed up to the yoke of the chariot. When the lion was approaching, the beast jumped on the lion's head, and the lion immediately fell down and did not dare to get up. So he killed it and got a piece of lion skin. The beast did not reach the city for thirty miles.
