"Speaking of which, since Fengxian's family has just settled down in Gengyang, why do they have time to come to Jinyang City?" On the one hand, Gongsun Xun asked casually, but on the other hand, regardless of his identity, Gongsun Xun personally filled the jar for him.
A bowl of chicken soup, Lu Fengxian was so panicked that he quickly took it with both hands.
"Hey!" Lu Bu sighed after taking the chicken soup. "To be honest with Sima..."
"No need to be polite, just call me Wenqi... The weather is wet and cold, and Fengxian got caught in the rain, so why not drink some soup to warm yourself up first."
"Oh, then... Wen Qi, let's be honest with Wen Qi." Lu Bu was so tall that he almost drank the bowl of chicken soup in one gulp. Then he wiped his lips and continued to explain hurriedly. "My father used to live in Jiuyuan.
There is also a county official in the county. When the settlement was withdrawn this time, the county magistrate of Jiuyuan County also had an official document for my father, saying that after he came here, he would take the document and go to the county here to continue looking for a job. And my father
However, I felt that I was getting older and I had become an adult, so I gave this opportunity to me. So, my father and son took this document and went to Gengyang County to find a job for me..."
When Gongsun Xun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart... No one would pay attention to such a document that was obviously used to send people. It would be strange if you and your son still engage in private exchanges. It would be strange if people can recognize it!
Sure enough, when Lu Bu said this, he became depressed: "However, although the people in Gengyang County are ten times richer than our Jiuyuan, the rich families are also ten times more wealthy than Jiuyuan! My father took me to send the official document to Gengyang County.
Jun, the other party bluntly said that there is not even a position for a pavilion director in the county..."
You, the dignified Lu Fengxian, can't even get the position of pavilion chief? Gongsun Xun was speechless immediately, but when he thought that the other party was about the same age as himself... this, this seemed even more pitiable!
"There is no way!" Lu Bu continued to lower his head and sighed. "My father begged the Lord of Gengyang County hard, but he finally gave me a little favor and wrote a letter recommending me to come to the county..."
Gongsun Xun is too lazy to complain... Can you trust the effectiveness of this kind of document a second time?
"So, I came to the county again to ask for an audience with the Lord." After saying this, Lu Bu slightly raised his hands toward the window to show respect, but then put it down slumped. "I spent a lot of money and gave two horses as a gift. Finally, today
I made an appointment with his disciples to visit... Unexpectedly, I found out this morning that the Fang Bo of Bingzhou suddenly came to the county in person. In order to avoid suspicion, the county governor actually closed the door and saw no one! I waited there for a long time and saw that
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I couldn't wait any longer, so I brought a group of companions from Jiuyuan to the flag pavilion to drink some soup!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Xun stood up again and personally filled a bowl of chicken soup for the other party. Then he slapped a few shots and complained loudly for the other party: "Fengxian's talent, others don't know it, don't I know it?"
Really? It is more than enough to make Cao Rong a soldier in one county! That Gengyang County Lord and the Taiyuan County Sheriff's Committee are blind! It's a pity that I am just a Sima in the army, but I don't have the opportunity to recommend him... What a pity!
"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was both overjoyed and a little disappointed, so he had to drink the bowl of hot chicken soup in two mouthfuls again.
However, after the chicken soup was eaten and his stomach felt a little warmer, Lu Bu still couldn't help but ask: "How did Wen Qi achieve the rank of Sima with a Thousand Stones at his age?"
"Oh!" Gongsun Xun looked indifferent and explained to the other party. "I am also from a border county in western Liaoning, with a family background of two thousand dan. My teacher must be a famous scholar in the country, and my wife must be the only daughter of a prefect. And my teacher also did
As a prince of the imperial dynasty, he was summoned to the capital to pay homage to this Sima..."
Lu Bu and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Feng Xian!" Gongsun Xun suddenly stood up and served a bowl of chicken soup for the other party, and then sighed. "Don't think that these things are so or so... In fact, after saying so much, the most important one is nothing else.
My teacher is a famous Confucian in China! You must know that with such a teacher, scholars will treat you as one of their own. When you become one of their own, there will naturally be prefects who will marry you, and there will naturally be buses.
When you are recruited into the capital, you can go directly to the officialdom! Actually...I have something to say just now. I am afraid it will be ineffective if you ask for an official position like this. Because in the eyes of the scholars of that generation, no matter how good the bow and horse are, he is just a martial artist.
That’s it!”
"But how can we find such a teacher?" Lu Bu couldn't drink the bowl of chicken soup. "No, I don't expect to find a famous scholar in the country. Can Wen Qi teach me?
How can I be seen as a scholar?"
"It's easy." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "Just do what you like!"
"Follow him?" Lu Bu was at a loss. "I can only bow and horse... You also said that the methods of bow and horse are not considered by scholars."
"Then just learn something other than bows and horses." Gongsun Xun said unconcernedly. "Sutras, music, poetry... just one of them will do!"
"My mother once taught me to play the piano when I was a child... but I have been wild for many years and have almost forgotten it!"
"Then start learning again!" Gongsun Xun slapped the chopping board and said. "As the saying goes, the most important thing is to be serious in everything. In order to show your talent first, as long as you calm down and study the piano seriously for two years, you may become Cai Bojie again in the future.
!Do you know Cai Bojie? Because he was good at playing the piano, he was recruited into the court by the late emperor and the six princes of the dynasty, and his official career has been prosperous until now."
"Is this happening?" Lu Bu was shocked.
"Everyone knows this, how can I still lie to you?" Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "To put it bluntly, Fengxian, inland counties and border areas are different after all... If you want to be a high official, you have to be arty!"
Lu Bu thought for a moment, but then drank the bowl of chicken soup with one hand: "Thank you Wenqi for your advice, I only know some of the skills here today... Isn't it just playing the piano? After practicing martial arts, I studied hard.
Just learn it!”
Gongsun Xun repeatedly raised his palms, and then suddenly stood up and said goodbye: "I met Fengxian today and I wanted to sleep with you, but I have urgent business and need to rush back to Yanmen... That's good, you and I.
As promised, if you are still unable to serve as an official, come to Yanmen Pingcheng to find me, and I will naturally recommend you a bright future! Well, let's meet again in the future! Farewell!"
"Wen Qi takes care of you!" Lu Bu also gave it away.
The rain gradually slowed down, and on the official road outside Jinyang City, Gongsun Xun and Han Dang were wearing coir raincoats and riding together.
"Did Young Master just tease the tiger the same way he teases cats at home?" Han Dang couldn't hold it back when he saw it escaping from the city. "He stroked it again, teased it again, walked around it again...and finally threw it away.
A piece of fish bone came out that only smelled fishy!"
"Yi Gong is really knowledgeable."
"Young Master and I have been together for so long, how can we not gain some knowledge?"
"However, I didn't expect the effect to be so great." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "After all, this guy is just a fledgling and doesn't understand anything."
"Well……"
"What's the matter?"
"Actually, if this tiger can be coaxed by teasing a cat...why don't you just raise it, young master?"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I am a timid person. I only dare to raise cats, not tigers."
Han Dang nodded knowingly.
And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the thin rain curtain behind him: "Sima! Grandson Sima! Wait a minute! I'm afraid there will be flash floods if it rains like this. You are from Liaoxi. I'm afraid you don't understand this. Allow me and
Wei Yue gives you a gift!"
"That's right, that's right, Sima, wait a minute!" Another person's voice sounded from far away.
"Is that the voice of Cheng Lian and Wei Yue?" Gongsun Xun said with a smile on his horse.
"It's them." Han Dang couldn't help laughing when he saw the other party laughing. "Shaojun, look at what you mean, you don't dare to raise a tiger, but you dare to take in such two wolf dogs?"
Gongsun Xun raised his head and laughed, but he was too lazy to explain to Han Dang.
In fact, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue are nothing more than that. During this trip to Taiyuan, within one day, first Dong Zhuo and then Lu Bu... Although I dare not say anything about these two people! But no matter how you say it, just based on the experience of these two people
In terms of attitude, Gongsun Wenqi doesn’t seem to be too bad!
At the beginning, when Taizu was in Bingzhou, everyone from the governor, who had two thousand stones, to the white body and the head of Guizhou, treated everyone with sincerity and open heart. After a few months, the superiors and subordinates became one and the same heroes." - "Jiu Yan Shu", Volume 1.
