The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

When Xun Zhen saw a person sitting in the room, he opened his eyes and saw that this person was beautifully dressed and looked like a crown of jade. He was leaning over to look at the bamboo slips. Xun Yu's face is already very beautiful, this person is even more beautiful than Xun Yu. - If it wasn't for preconceived ideas, Xun Zhen would probably have misunderstood that he was a woman disguised as a man.

This person may have heard the footsteps and raised his head to see Xun Yu, smiling with a smile on his face, in a trance like a spring flower blooming, making one dare not look directly. Xun Zhen thought to himself: "This Xi Zhicai is actually such a beautiful man?" In his imagination, Xi Zhicai should be a majestic and handsome man. She looks like a good girl?

After thinking about it, he didn't delay the movements of his hands and feet. He lifted his clothes and bowed, and said, "Brother Zhicai, I have heard the name for a long time, and I will finally see you today. . .

The man didn't get up, but laughed loudly and said to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, isn't your brother's eyes very good?"

Xun Yu was also dumbfounded to laugh, but after hearing this, he stopped smiling and scolded, "Yu Lang, how can you be so rude?" He lifted Xun Zhen up and explained, "He is not Xi Zhicai, He is the second son of Sixth Sister, named Xin Ai."

"Sixth sister's second son?" Xun Zhen was slightly stunned, but then he understood that even though he had admitted the wrong person and was ridiculed, he was not embarrassed, got up and smiled, "It's my clumsy eyes! Xin Jun sits on the bamboo slip. Among them, such as Zhilan Yushu, I should have thought that other than the 'Yu Lang' of my aunt's family, who else has such a beautiful appearance?"

The Xun family is a big family in Yingyin, and they are famous all over the world.

For example, Xun Yu, his wife's family Tang family is a big family in Yanxian, and his father-in-law Tang Heng has passed away, but when he was alive, he was named "Marquis of Ruyang" because of his merit in killing his foreign relative Liang Ji. One of the hottest "five princes", known as "Tang Sitting alone". - There is a poem in later generations, the so-called "light smoke scattered into the house of the five princes", which is the "five princes".

Another example is this "sixth sister", who is Xun Qu's younger sister, Xun You's aunt, married to Yang Zhai Xin's family.

The Xin clan was a big family in Yangzhai, and there were quite a few famous sages in the clan. Xun Zhen had heard Xun Qu say when he was at home earlier, and knew that there were three most famous people in the younger generation of their clan, one was Xin Ping, the other was Xin Pi, and the other was Benian. It is this "Xin Ai". The first two are famous for their intelligence, and "Xin Ai" is famous for his appearance. Because of his beautiful appearance, his face is like a powder, so he is called "Yu Lang" by the locals.

It is said that Xin Ai and Xun You are cousins, they should be relatively close, but because Xun You is several years older than Xin A, Xun Yu is similar in age to him, so Xin Ai and Xun Yu are on the contrary The relationship is very good, and Xun You rarely see each other. - He rarely met Xun You, let alone Xun Zhen. This was the first time the two met.

Xin Ai is beautiful and has a good name. "Ai" is also a beautiful jade. "Xin Ai", homophonic "beloved", also shows how much his parents and clansmen love him. Being loved by thousands of people, his temperament will inevitably become a little arrogant. When he saw that Xun Zhen was ridiculed by his own family, he laughed without shame, tsk tut in amazement, pointed at it, and said to Xun Yu, "This is just being praised by Xi Zhi." Does Xun Zhenzhi have a very human aspiration, cited as a 'comrade'?"

Xun Yu was very dissatisfied with his impoliteness, walked up to him, and said with a stern face: "Zhenzhi, my brother. Yulang, you have been taught since childhood, don't you understand the truth of being a man? How can you? Disrespectful to your elder brother in front of your younger brother? Not to mention, you should call Zhenzhi uncle!"

According to seniority, not only Xun Zhen was Xin Ai's uncle, but Xun Yu was also his uncle. At that time, etiquette was not as strict as in later generations, and it was okay for uncles and nephews to call each other by name. Therefore, Xin Ai always called Xun Yu "Wenruo".

Xin Ai pouted and looked disapproving, but didn't say anything more.

Xun Yu and Xin Ai stood and sat together, and they were very close together. Xun Zhen looked at them and said with a smile, "Yulang Xuanxuan is like a sunrise, and Wen Ruozhuo is like a spring willow. Comparing with the two of you. , I'm ashamed of myself." He turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to Xin Ai's series of arrogant and arrogant words and behaviors, as if the person being ridiculed was not him.

Xun Yu asked, "Where is Zhicai?"

"It's gone."

Xingqing was the name of the toilet at that time. Just as he was talking, a man approached outside the door, quite far from the door, and said loudly: "Wenruo, the dung in your house is too slippery! A black scorpion ran past the dung just now, I just looked at the probe. Look, I didn't pay attention to my feet, I almost fell and fell inside."

Xin Ai laughed loudly and said, "What a pity, what a pity!"

The man asked, "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you didn't fall in. . . . You're going to fall in. Wouldn't Wen Ruo's family also have a marquis of Jin?"

"Yu Lang, I don't mind being a Jin Hou, but it's hard for you, a handsome man, to learn from the little minister who goes to the toilet with Gong Jinggong. I can't bear it."

Xun Zhen knew the allusion to the "Marquis of Jin" that they were talking about. It was about Duke Jing of Jin who was too full to eat and went to the toilet, but failed to stand firm and fell into the cesspool, "sunk and died". Jin Jinggong had a small minister who dreamed in the morning that he was "defeating his father in order to ascend to the sky". At noon, when he found out that Jinjinggong drowned in the toilet, he carried him out on his back, "so he thought it was a martyrdom." Died in public burial.

The man strode outside, took off his shoes, and went inside. While talking to Xin Ai, he looked at Xun Zhen and asked Xun Yu, "Is this your brother Ling?" Just wiped it on the robe.

Xun Yu replied: "Yes." Introduced to Xun Zhen, "Fourth brother, this is my friend, Yang Zhai Xi Zhicai."

…

Xun Zhen glanced at Xin Ai, and then at Xi Zhicai, thinking, "This contrast is too big."

To be honest, Xi Zhicai's appearance is not ugly, like a middle-aged man, but his clothes are very casual, the blue robe is wrinkled, he does not wear a crown or a tie, only a bun is tied. The bun has not yet been tied, and it is messy, just like just waking up, with a long face and small eyes, like strips. He has a beard under his chin, and his beard is well-groomed, dark and shiny.

Xin Ai has beautiful clothes, and Xun Yu has beautiful clothes and fragrant clothes. When the three of them stood together, Xi Zhicai was completely compared. Originally Xun Zhen said, "I am ashamed of myself," but when Xi Zhi Cai came, he didn't have to be "ashamed of himself." He saluted, "Xun Zhen, I have seen your feet." Xi Zhi Cai wiped his hands clean, and said politely, "Yang Zhai Xizhicai, I have seen one step."

…

Xun Yu invited them to take their seats, and they were divided into guests and hosts.

Xun Zhen knew Xi Zhicai's name, so of course he wouldn't judge people by their appearance, and said respectfully, "I've heard about Xi's great name for a long time, and I've long wanted to meet with my steps, and today I got what I wanted."

"Zhi Cai is wandering in the countryside, what's the name? To talk about fame, at most four words are 'gambling, lustful'." Xi Zhicai did not leave Xun Zhen's eyes, and after entering the door to now, he has been looking at it for a long time, and said, " I heard about Xunjun's name yesterday. I came to Wen Ruo yesterday afternoon, and when I entered Yingyin City, I saw someone in Liuzhong Liubo. He turned to look at Xun Yu with a smile, and then said, "Who would have guessed that yesterday, I lost ten games in a row, not only lost all my money, but also owed more than 300 gambling debts, and I was detained in the middle and not allowed to leave. Fortunately, there is Wenruo, after getting the letter, he immediately took the money to redeem me."

Before meeting Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu introduced to Xun Zhen: "Yesterday afternoon, Xi Zhicai came to Yingyin. After he came, he didn't come to me first, but went around the county,..." It turned out that this "Zuan Zhuan" was gambling with passers-by.

I ran all the way to visit friends, and when I got there, instead of looking for friends, I went to the side of the road to gamble with people. After I lost all my money and my gambling debts were withheld from leaving, I finally thought of looking for someone. Go to inform your friends and call to redeem yourself.

- This show Zhicai is really dumbfounding.

What's even more ridiculous is that he doesn't feel embarrassed at all. This is the first time Xun Zhen and him have met. According to common sense, who doesn't want to make a good impression on each other? Normal people shouldn't talk about these humiliating things. Wasn't even that Xun Yu hiding it for him? It was good for him, and he said this matter in an open and honest manner in less than three words at the meeting.

Xun Yu understood his temper and character, and smiled slightly. Xin Ai smiled and leaned back and forth. Xun Zhen smiled and sat quietly, listening without saying a word.

Xi Zhicai continued: "Yesterday's gambling game broke some money, but it also allowed me to hear the name of my step."

"Oh?"

"Two or three of the ten out of ten drinkers who are drinking in Laozhong are talking about their actions in Fanyang Pavilion."

"What did you say?"

"It doesn't matter what you say, what matters is what you want to do with your steps?"

"how do I say this?"

"After stepping down with a famous family, you have the ability to surrender to Fanyang, disregard the criticism of the world, gather public opinion, intend to raise the price, and make friends with young chivalrous men, support strong men, and give both kindness and power, wanting to gain the death force of the other generation, so that he can die for the king. He opened his eyes wide, his eyes were clear and piercing, looked directly at Xun Zhen, and said, "The name of the king has entered the county court, the minions of the king have prepared the pavilion, and the will of the king does not know what to do in the end?"

Xun Yu raised his head in horror.

Xin Ai was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, and said, "A mere pavilion, ten miles away, how can you make a noise and minions? Zhicai, who are you scaring?"

Xun Zhen smiled slightly and replied, "What Yulang said is right. 'How can you make a sound in a pavilion?' Xi Zhicai wanted to say more, and he asked back, "I don't know what your ambition is?"

Xi Zhicai looked at Xun Zhen for a long time, smiled, and stopped asking questions. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com followed his words and replied: "Yang Ziyun's "Jiejie" said: 'Let's talk and make a marquis'. Zhi also." He took the initiative to change the topic, and continued the topic of Duke Jing Jing just now, saying, "In the past, Duke Jing of Jin executed the Manchus of the Zhao clan and restored the orphans of the Zhao clan. The "Biography" only said that it was because of Han Jue's persuasion, you know How did Han Jue persuade him?"

Xun Yu was full of reading poetry and books, and replied: "Han Jue persuaded him to say, 'How can we forget the credits of Zhao Shui and Zhao Dun? How can we let them cut off the incense'?"

"If Duke Jing of Jin recites the merits of Zhao Shuai and Zhao Dun, he would not have killed the Zhao Manchu clan in the first place. How could he have restored Zhao Wu just because of Han Jue's words?" Han Jue actually said at the time And something else."

"What?"

"Han Jue said, 'If I do this, I will definitely be grateful for Zhao's tears'. Gong Jing asked: 'But if I did this, wouldn't it prove that I was wrong before'? Han Jue replied: ' The Duke is the king of ten thousand rides. With a place of thousands of miles, he shows tolerance to the world. If you make mistakes and correct them, people will respect them, and outstanding people from all over the world will definitely run and come.' That's why I talked about Duke Jing."

Xin Ai asked curiously, "Is that so?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said to Xun Zhen, "The reason why you can be the pavilion chief is because the Son of Heaven understands the Party's restraints. Today's actions are quite similar to those of King Jing in the past!" He talked about the disaster of Party restraints. People's interest suddenly shifted from Xun Zhen to this place.

Xun Yu sighed and said, "Twice the party has been shackled, the scholar-officials have withered, and the country has been broken. I hope that as Zhicai you said, the emperor can know the past and change it, otherwise there will be chaos sooner or later."

Xin Ai was more interested in the few lines of the answer between Han Jue and Duke Jing Jing that Xi Zhicai said just now, and asked, "Zhicai, I know you read a lot, and the answer between Han Jue and Duke Jing was just a few words. , where did you see it? Why haven't I seen it?"

"Take it for granted."
