In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the weather is so cold that people feel a chill in their hearts.
Fortunately, when Cai Yong hosted a banquet to invite his friends, the weather was exceptionally clear. The sky was blue, and a bright red sun hung in the sky, emitting a fiery light. Wang Can had already known that Cai Yong would invite
Friends, there was a big feast, so early in the morning, Wang Can packed up his clothes and rushed to Cai Yong's house to wait for Cai Yong's instructions.
In the living room, there were only two people, Cai Yong and Wang Can.
Cai Yong sat on the main seat in the center of the living room, and Wang Can sat below Cai Yong on the left side.
Cai Yong looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "First of all, the people I invite today are the pillars of the imperial court and celebrities in the country. You are responsible for receiving the people who come to the banquet. You must be cautious. You must not
Something went wrong."
Wang Can nodded cautiously and replied: "Teacher, don't worry, disciple."
Wang Can will be cautious and careful without Cai Yong's instructions when it comes to receiving guests. This matter is related to Wang Can's future development, so Wang Can will naturally not be careless. After a pause, Wang Can looked at Cai Yong and asked: "Teacher
"The people who came to Cai Mansion today are all celebrities and scholars. I don't know who they are specifically and what their personalities are like. Please ask the teacher to explain a few things to the disciples so that the disciples will know what they are doing and will not panic."
When Cai Yong saw Wang Can taking the initiative to ask, he felt comforted in his heart and said: "I will explain it to you in detail to avoid making mistakes. Although I have had a rough life and have been wandering around, I have never held an important position in the court, but fortunately I still have some
My close friends, these people all hold important positions in the imperial court, and they have never despised me because of my low status. Please listen carefully and don’t forget it.”
"Situ Wang Yun, courtesy name Zishi; this man was upright and loyal to the country. He was the pillar of the Han Dynasty."
"Taiwei Yang Biao, courtesy name Wenxian; after the great scholar Yang Zhen, the son of Situ Yang Ci was jealous of others. When he was in charge of Jing Zhaoyin, he executed Wang Fu, the great eunuch at that time."
"Ma Rixi, the great scholar of Guanglu, also known as Uncle Weng. He is the grandson of Ma Rong, the great Confucian scholar. He inherited Ma Rong's knowledge and his knowledge is first-rate in the world."
"Former Minister Lu Zhi, courtesy name Ziqian. He studied under Ma Rong. He was resolute and resolute. He studied Confucianism. He was a model for the world and Zhenqian of the country. He was a great Confucian at that time. He was dismissed from office by Dong Zhuo because he offended Dong Zhuo.
"
…………
Cai Yong brought the visiting celebrities and court officials one by one, and told Wang Can how to deal with it. After speaking, he waved his hand and said: "First of all, it's almost time. The visiting guests are almost here. You take my place."
As a master, go to the door to greet the guests and show your face in front of them."
"Yes, disciple understands."
Wang Can bowed to Cai Yong and respectfully exited the living room.
Wang Can was really grateful to Cai Yong in his heart. Although the old man was doing it for Cai Yan's future, Wang Can was not given an advantage by entrusting Cai Yan to Wang Can's care. Even if Cai Yong made Wang Can swear not to interfere with Cai Yan's marriage,
But after getting along for a long time, maybe the teacher will become a father-in-law.
After all, when Cai Yong helped Cai Yan, he also helped Wang Can.
At the gate of Cai Mansion, Wang Can smiled and looked calm. He glanced at the housekeeper of Cai Mansion standing next to him and smiled slightly.
At this time, Wang Can was wearing a white robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. He was calm and magnanimous. His behavior showed everyone's style, and he had the image of a handsome young man.
Wang Can looked straight ahead and saw a carriage approaching slowly.
Close!
Getting closer!
The carriage stopped ten feet away from the gate of Cai Mansion. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and an old man in his fifties, wearing a soap-colored Confucian robe, a white face, a long beard, and a long crown on his head, slowly came out of the carriage.
"Sir, this is Wang Situ." The butler standing next to Wang Can reminded him in a low voice.
Wang Can nodded gently, and before Wang Yun got off the carriage, Wang Can quickly walked to the side of the carriage and stood respectfully. After Wang Yun got off the carriage, Wang Can bowed to Wang Yun again,
He said with the courtesy of a disciple: "Disciple Wang Can, pay my respects to Sir!"
Sir, on the surface it means someone who was born earlier than you and who is older than you.
But in ancient times, sir was a respectful title for a knowledgeable and famous person.
Wang Yun was a great scholar in China and a good friend of Cai Yong. Wang Can worshiped Cai Yong as his disciple and met Wang Yun as a disciple. It can be said that they complemented each other and there was no mistake.
Wang Can glanced at Wang Can and said with a serious smile: "Not bad!"
After saying that, Wang Yun went straight into Cai Mansion.
Wang Can stood by the carriage and was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Yun to speak so simply. After saying a word, he left gracefully. Wang Can shook his head in his heart, still with a smile on his face. He watched Wang Yun disappear.
Looking back, Wang Can returned to the gate and continued to wait for the next wave of guests to arrive.
After Wang Yun entered the Cai Mansion with his attendants, the steward said: "Sir, Wang Situ is always stingy when evaluating others. Most people are rated as 'good', 'poor', 'mediocre' and so on. You can get
The word 'good' means it's already pretty good."
Wang Can smiled and said nothing.
He was not dissatisfied with Wang Yun's evaluation, but felt that Wang Yun was too straightforward.
One sentence, two words, really short and concise.
Just when Wang Can was stunned, another carriage slowly came towards Cai Mansion. The carriage also stopped a few feet away from Cai Mansion. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and only a man in azure clothes was seen.
An old man wearing a Confucian robe, with white hair and beard, and a wrinkled face walked down. Although this old man looked old, his eyes were bright, deep and translucent.
"This is Taiwei Yang Biao!"
Wang Can nodded, and before Yang Biao, who had just got off the carriage, could take a step forward, he quickly walked up to Yang Biao and still bowed to him as a disciple: "Disciple Wang Can, hello to you, sir."
Yang Biao stretched out his hand to help Wang Can up and said with a smile: "Yes, he is a young man with extraordinary appearance. Bo Zhe has gained a good disciple."
"Wang Can is unworthy of Mr. Wang's compliment." Wang Can looked neither humble nor arrogant, and said humbly.
"Haha..." Yang Biao laughed loudly, flicked his sleeves, and strode into Cai Mansion. After Wang Can welcomed Yang Biao into Cai Mansion, he stood at the gate of Cai Mansion and continued to welcome guests.
After a while, two carriages came parallel to each other in front of Cai Mansion.
Like the previous carriages, the two carriages stopped one foot away from Cai Mansion.
However, I don’t know if the driver deliberately stopped the carriage at the same time, and then the curtains of the two carriages were opened at the same time, and the people in the carriages walked out at the same time. The old man with gray hair and beard came out of the carriage on the left.
The face is stern, and there is a chilling air between the eyebrows; the old man in his forties who walks out of the carriage on the right has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a beautiful beard under his chin, reaches out to stroke his long beard, and has a deep smile in his eyes.
The housekeeper whispered beside Wang Can: "On the left is Lu Zhi, and on the right is Ma Rixi."
Wang Can was startled, and his eyelids twitched unconsciously when he saw two powerful figures getting out of the carriage at the same time.
Lu Zhi and Ma Rixi were both good friends of Cai Yong. They both got off the carriage at the same time. Wang Can had to go up and pay homage to them, but who to pay homage to first became a problem because it involved a matter of face. Regardless of Wang Can's neglect.
Whichever side he lost, it would be a huge loss for Wang Can. Wang Can kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind. When he saw Lu Zhi on the left slowly getting off the carriage, a flash of light flashed in his heart.
Wang Can strode towards Lu Zhi. When he walked in front of Lu Zhi, he respectfully bowed: "Disciple Wang Can, greeting sir."
After paying homage to Lu Zhi, Wang Can walked up to Ma Rixi and bowed respectfully: "Disciple Wang Can, please pay homage to Sir."
Wang Can bowed his waist and stood respectfully in front of Ma Rixi. Ma Rixi glanced at Lu Zhi, with a hint of joking in his eyes, and asked: "Wang Can, I and Ziqian's carriages arrived at the Cai Mansion at the same time.
Ziqian got off the carriage at the same time, why did you go to see Ziqian first and then see me? Could it be that you are looking down on me?"
Wang Can secretly sighed in his heart, these two old guys really had a conspiracy.
