When Chen Deng woke up from the yin and yang rhythmic chanting, Chen Qun had disappeared.
Yuanliju and Pingyu Zhongju Pavilion in Yangcheng refer to two very famous celebrities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Ying and Chen Fan.
Li Ying, whose courtesy name was Yuanli, was banished to Yangcheng for attacking eunuchs.
There is a saying that "Li Yuanli is the model of the world", and he is Li Ying. Chen Fan even tried to eradicate the eunuchs and was eventually persecuted.
It can be said that the dispute between scholar-bureaucrats and eunuchs in China has never stopped.
Many people in later generations believe that the Ming Dynasty was the era when the fight between scholar-bureaucrats and eunuchs was most intense. However, in fact, the real start of the mode of armed struggle originated in the Han Dynasty. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the fierce battles between scholar-bureaucrats, relatives, and eunuchs
, even better than the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Deng sighed and shook his head.
Suddenly, he also had the idea of wanting to see Cao Peng.
Cao Peng came to Guangling for two months. Except for the first meeting, Chen Deng had never seen Cao Peng again. Cao Peng and his two hundred soldiers were also arranged to go to Dongling Pavilion. Think about it now
, my previous behavior seems to be suspected of neglect...
Without this "Inscription on the Humble Room", Chen Deng would not have had this idea.
But as soon as this "Inscription on the Humble Room" came out, it immediately raised Cao Peng's level a lot. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was emphasized that talent and virtue should be cultivated at the same time. Only those who learn well can never be admired if their virtue is not good. Therefore, many people, in terms of talent and virtue,
Among virtues, virtue is the first choice.
It seems that I still underestimated Cao Youxue. I should go to Dongling Pavilion.
Chen Deng thought of this and immediately changed his clothes.
However, when he had just finished changing his clothes, he received news: Xu Du sent an envoy to Jiangdong, and now the team had arrived outside Guangling City.
An envoy from Xudu?
Chen Deng immediately realized that maybe it won't be long before Cao Cao will make big moves!
Dongling Pavilion, whose real name is Dongyuan, Qingcaoyu.
At that time, Du Jiang, a female hero, fought against pirates and was buried here.
In the fifth year of Emperor Ming's reign in the Han Dynasty, local people built a temple next to Du Jiang's tomb. Because Dongyuan is located in the east and adjacent to the bank of the river, it was renamed Dongling.
Later, pavilions and troops were built, and from then on the name Dongling Pavilion came into being.
Dongling Pavilion is also known as Yiling Town, the capital of the Yangtze River in later generations.
Cao Peng had no complaints when he was stationed at Dongling Pavilion. As early as when he was in Haixi, he knew that it would not be easy to gain a foothold in Guangling. So when he entered Guangling and heard those rumors, Cao Peng
He was mentally prepared. Before that, his understanding of Guangling was very vague. When he arrived in Guangling and saw the Qionghua blooming in the misty rain, Cao Peng realized that Guangling County was Yangzhou.
Yangzhou Qionghua...
After arriving at Dongling Pavilion, Cao Peng felt very peaceful.
The main purpose of the Dongling Pavilion is to prevent pirates and water thieves from landing in Guangling.
Since Dongling Pavilion is located at the mouth of the river, water pirates can easily land here from the sea or from the upper reaches of the river. After harassing the local area, they quickly evacuate and are difficult to capture. Therefore, Cao Peng felt that he was sent there
Dongling Pavilion is not considered a banished residence.
In fact, Cao Peng believed that garrisoning Dongling Pavilion was of extremely important significance to Guangling.
He also told Xiahou Lan, Wang Mai and Hao Zhao.
Originally, these three people still harbored some resentment in their hearts, but after hearing what Cao Peng said, they felt relieved a lot.
So Cao Peng ordered Xiahoulan and Wangmai to divide their troops and garrison at Dongling Pavilion, each leading a team of soldiers and horses; while Hao Zhao led a separate group and stationed on the riverside.
Cao Peng himself built a simple house by the river as a temporary residence.
There is a main hall and two rows of side rooms.
The backyard is adjacent to the river, and you can go boating on the river.
There are a total of four people living in the entire house.
In addition to Cao Peng, Bu Zhao also lived here. At the same time, Buluan and Guo Huan, as maids, lived in the side room next to them and were responsible for taking care of Cao Peng's food and daily life.
After Bu Zhao's aunt arrived in Guangling County, Cao Peng entrusted Chen Qun to send someone to Haixi.
Before leaving, the old lady insisted on Buluan staying.
Her reason was very good, "How can I not repay the great kindness I received from Mr. Cao? But I am a lonely old woman and I am blind, so I cannot repay the favor. So I let Buluan stay with Mr. Cao, even though she is rough and rough.
, but I can also take care of the young master’s daily life.”
Cao Peng helped her pay back a lot of money.
Bu Zhi had no objection to this, and the old lady's attitude was very firm.
Originally, Cao Peng didn't even want to stay with Guo Huan, but now, with two maids by his side, he really felt helpless...
I have to say, it feels so good to be served by someone!
Buluan inherited the gentleness and kindness of women from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who could sew and make good dishes; while Guo Huan was smart and had a good eye, so he and Buluan complemented each other perfectly. Two little maids stayed with him.
, it really saved Cao Peng a lot of trouble.
Over time, Cao Peng gradually got used to the feeling of being served.
When Chen Qun arrived at Dongling Pavilion, it was already past Chen hour.
Before entering Cao Peng's humble room, he smelled a refreshing fragrance.
"Baojian, do you smell it? Do you smell it?"
Chen Qun's eyes suddenly brightened, he swallowed, and asked rather eagerly.
It was drizzling again in the sky, and there was a layer of light mist on the river. Looking from a distance, behind a cluster of blooming peach trees by the river, there was a small house, which looked particularly quiet.
.Two young men stepped out of the carriage. They were about thirty years old. They behaved elegantly and were quite dignified.
After taking a look at Chen Qun, who was holding a bamboo hat, one of the young men couldn't help but laugh.
"The long article is indeed true."
"You don't care if I'm a glutton or not, just smell this smell... tsk tsk tsk, I suddenly feel envious of Youxue!"
"oh?"
"Look at the mist and drizzle on the river bank. It's so comfortable to be surrounded by pink apricots and whites, accompanied by beautiful women and good friends."
The two young men couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"After hearing what Chang Wen said, Ji Bi and I felt that we were tacky!"
"In that case, why don't you hurry into the peach forest? Well, the aroma is quite strange, and it's really a bit mouth-watering."
After the three of them finished speaking, they ordered the carriage to stop and walked towards the Taolin.
Walking through the path in the forest, stepping on the fallen peach red and apricot white, my impetuous mood suddenly became much calmer. After passing through the peach forest, I saw a low courtyard wall. The wall was covered with a layer of
Pink and white, in the hazy mist, it reveals a bit of lightness.
A row of thatched cottages appeared in front of the three people.
"Youxue, Youxue!" Chen Qun walked a few steps quickly and shouted loudly: "What's new and delicious today?"
He stepped into the open courtyard door and saw Buluan, wearing a white shirt and skirt tied around his waist, walking out of the kitchen...
"Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
"Hey, I have magical powers. I figured it out with my fingers and learned how to cook delicious food today, so I came here with you."
The two young men followed Chen Qun and their eyes lit up when they saw Buluan.
What a handsome maid!
Heart of beauty in everyone.
The two young men couldn't help but sigh to themselves: This Cao Youxue is indeed an elegant man.
I heard that his two maidservants are very charming. Just looking at the little maid in front of me, I know that the rumors are true, but I wonder what the other one is like?
At this moment, the two of them were really envious.
"The young master and his cousin went fishing with Xiao Huan this morning... Well, it's almost time to come back.
Mr. Chen, please go to the back corridor and you should be able to see them. The maid has something to do here, so I won’t greet the distinguished guests. Please help yourself, Mr. Chen."
"Xiaoluan, what kind of delicious food did Youxue come up with?"
"Hee hee, the young master taught the maid a three-set duck dish a few days ago. Since the distinguished guest is here, it's time to taste it.
Yesterday, the young master also asked people to pick plums, saying that they would be used to make wine.
He and his cousin were fishing in a boat, not sure what they would get. The wine was ready on the back porch, Mr. Chen could help himself."
"Three sets of ducks?"
Chen Qun glanced at Buluan, then turned to look at the two young men.
"What's the point of these three sets of ducks?"
The so-called gentleman is far away from the kitchen and Chen Qun and the others enter the kitchen. That is absolutely impossible.
But I was a little curious, so I couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Xiahou hunted some pigeons yesterday, Brother Bodao caught two wild ducks, and my cousin bought a domestic duck. He hid the pigeons in the belly of the wild duck, and then hid the wild duck in the belly of the domestic duck. This is
The origin of the three sets of ducks... Hehe, you will know in a moment."
Chen Qun's eyes are brighter!
The two young men looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, saying that they had never heard of this dish.
Buluan ran into the kitchen and was busy again, while Chen Qun took two young men, took off their wooden clogs, and walked into the main hall. The furnishings in the main hall were very simple, including a couch and a bookcase. There were a few pushbuttons placed next to them.
The banquet is a place used to entertain guests and discuss matters.
On the wall facing the door, there is a paint screen.
The white text on the black background is exactly the "Inscription on a Humble Room". When you look at the text, you can see the white text with a swipe, and the threads are smooth, which is very reminiscent of the charm of Cai Yong's white calligraphy.
"This is……"
"The article was written by Youxue, but the words were written by Zishan."
Having said this, Chen Qun couldn't help but shook his head, "Youxue's knowledge is quite good, but his wording is so smooth that..."
When the two young men heard this, they immediately laughed.
Standing in front of the lacquered screen, I made some comments.
The three of them walked through the small door and arrived on the back porch.
The so-called backyard is actually an open space. There is no decoration, only pebbles are used to pave a path, which continues to the riverside.
On the bank of the river, a simple pier was built with green bamboo.
On the back porch, a small red clay stove caught the eye of the three people. The stove was filled with charcoal, and there was a pottery basin on top. There was a wine pot in the basin. Before they could sit down, Na Qin
The aroma of wine lingering in one's heart wafted over, making the three of them salivate.
Sitting at the round table on the back porch, looking towards the river.
Faintly, you can see a small boat moored in the river.
Through the layer of light mist, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on on the ship. However, the faint singing voice of a girl came from the light mist, which made Chen Qun and the others sigh.
"Baojian, Ji Bi, how do you feel?"
The two young men looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Chang Wen, why do you ask questions knowingly? If the two of us had any ill intentions toward Cao Youxue, we would definitely not come with you.
When the rumors started spreading, Ji Bi and I didn't speak out, so why did you bother the two of us? However, looking at this scene, Cao Youxue is definitely not a vulgar person. I remember that he is only fifteen this year, and he can do this at such a young age.
The future of his future is immeasurable if he remains calm with favor and disgrace."
Bao Jian answered with a smile.
Ji Bi nodded, "You should know his character by looking at his residence. Cao Youxue is an elegant man!"
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, being called "elegant" was already a very high compliment. When the two said these words, Chen Qun couldn't help but laugh.
The three of them were sitting on the back porch, drinking warm plum wine, and looking at the looming boat moored in the mist, they couldn't help but feel something else. From a distance, there was the sound of fighting in the military camp. It must have been...
Hao Zhao finished his performance and was about to reorganize his troops...
The small boat on the river also moved at this time!
Walking through the light mist gives people a wonderful feeling of coming from a fairyland.
After a while, the boat docked at the pier. A girl in common clothes and a wooden hairpin jumped out of the boat.
Immediately afterwards, Bu Zhao and Cao Peng were seen, each wearing a raincoat and a rain hat, boarding the pier. The two men each carried a wooden bucket in their hands. As they walked, you could see water splashing in the bucket.
There seemed to be fish tumbling inside. Cao Peng and Bu Zhao were both dressed in thin clothes, with a gray short shirt on the upper body and a pair of gray trousers on the lower body. The trouser legs were rolled up high, and they were walking barefoot along the cobblestone path.
Come over. As they walked, the two of them were talking and laughing. The wonderful feeling was hard to describe in words.
Chen Qun stood up and said, "It looks like they have gained a lot."
The two young men also stood up with smiles and watched the two men dressed as fishermen approaching closer and closer.
"Brother Xian, if you don't come back, we will drink all your wine!"
Chen Qun greeted loudly.
Cao Peng was startled and looked up.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Hey, I smell delicious food coming out. I'm here uninvited."
Bu Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Chen Changwen did have a good nose..."
Guo Huan tied the boat to the dock and trotted after him from behind. He happened to hear Bu Zhi's words and couldn't help laughing.
Her smile was full of charm.
Compared with Bu Luan's gentle and charming appearance before, Guo Huan gives people a different charm.
One was born in the water town of Wunong, and the other grew up in the bitter and cold frontier. Two different charms appeared next to the same person at the same time. The two young men couldn't help but feel envious, and looked at Cao Peng with a look in his eyes.
It has a somewhat unusual color.
This young man is a real celebrity!
The two of them suddenly felt emotional.
"Xiao Huan, why are you laughing?"
Guo Huan and Chen Qun were also familiar with each other, so he said with a smile: "The other day Mr. Shan smelled a strange smell in the house, and later he found a big rat in the kitchen. The young master smiled and said that from now on, there is no need to keep a dog in the house. As long as Mr. Shan grows up
I got a good nose. Today, I gave it to Mr. Chen again."
When Chen Qun heard this, his face suddenly fell.
Bu Zhao means he has a dog nose...
The two young men couldn't help but laugh.
People say that Cao Youxue is arrogant and arrogant. Although he looks like this, he is also an interesting young man. How can he be said to be arrogant?
"Youxue, what did you gain today?"
Chen Qun quickly changed the topic to cover up his embarrassment.
Cao Peng walked under the porch and placed the wooden bucket on the ground. A silver carp was flopping fiercely in the bucket, with water splashing everywhere.
“You want to make yusheng?”
"Hey, I'm tired of eating raw fish. Let's eat one fish and three dishes together today."
"oh?"
Chen Qun suddenly became energetic, "How can you be so particular about eating three fishes?"
"You'll know this later."
At this time, Buluan ran from the back kitchen, and Guo Huan picked up a wooden bucket and walked to the kitchen.
The two little girls laughed all the way and got along very harmoniously. Bu Zhao took off his raincoat, sat down on the porch, took a sip of wine, and let out a sigh of contentment.
"You only drink Yangtze River water and eat silver carp heads. How lucky you are to be born in Guangling?"
"Hey, who said this?"
"Haha, who else could it be? Of course it was what Youxue said just now on the boat."
When Chen Qun and the other three heard this, they couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded.
"By the way, let me introduce you... these two are my friends." Chen Qun laughed and pulled Cao Peng to sit down.
He gave birth to a young man with a beautiful beard on his finger, "This is Xu Xuan and Xu Baojian. Speaking of which, you two have a close relationship, and he is a true Haixi native."
"Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Xu."
Cao Peng quickly put his hands together to salute, but Xu Xuan did not dare to neglect and quickly stood up to return the salute.
"This is Chen Jiao and Chen Jibi, a native of Dongyang... Haha, his ancestor is Chen Ying, the Marquis of Tangyi. The Chen family of Dongyang is also a rare local noble family."
Chen Ying was also a talented person during the turn of Chu and Han.
He once served as the Shangzhu Kingdom of Chuhuai King Xiong Xin, but later defected to Liu Bang and was named Tangyihou.
The history of the Chen family in Dongyang is even older than that of the Chen family in Guangling. Moreover, there is a deep connection between the two. To put it bluntly, the Chen family in Guangling is a branch from the Chen family in Dongyang. However, due to the numerous talents of the Chen family in Guangling
, gradually overshadowed the Chen family in Dongyang.
These two people are now Gangji of Guangling County.
Cao Peng was quite surprised and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Just then, there was a noise from the front yard.
"Master, Master...we are here."
Listening to the voice, it seems to be Xia Houlan.
Cao Peng stood up and said, "It's Zi Youbo and they are here...Mr. Zishan, please sit down for now. I'll greet you and teach Xiaoluan how to eat three fishes. Mr. Baojian and Mr. Ji Bi are here."
It's just the right time. The river is flowing with spring water today, so it's time to get drunk and rest."
