Chapter 5 Apprenticeship
If Xiahou Yu himself was weak after recovering from a serious illness, then he could see the paleness of overwork and illness in this young man.
This is also the early stage of Boss Cao. Although he had no worries about the generals because of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, there were very few people who could give advice. So when he caught a useful one, he had to squeeze him hard.
He had to participate in the management of internal affairs, and also followed Boss Cao to go out for advice. You should know that even after the Battle of Guandu, where Boss Cao was already strong, in order to eliminate the remnants of the Yuan family, Guo Jia, as Cao Cao's planner, did not exhaust himself to death on the front line.
When he thought that this kind-hearted man was about to be ordered, Xiahou Yu couldn't help but look sympathetic to him and strengthened his intention to stumble. It would be enough for Guo Fengxiao to have one or two model workers. It would be great if he stumbled behind him and would never get involved in the main business.
When he learned that this pile of book scripts would be taken to Cao Cao's mansion tomorrow, although Xi Zhicai was still a little reluctant to leave. However, when he thought that he often went to Cao Cao's house, when Xiahou Yu finished teaching a volume, he borrowed a volume and studied it carefully, he was unable to think about rubbing a volume with his face.
After leaving the courtyard where Xiahou Yu lived, the four of them came to the pavilion outside. In a short while, the servants also put the tables in the pavilion full of dishes.
At this time, the chef did not have as many seasonings as in later generations. Basically, sprinkle a handful of salt on barbecue, sprinkle a handful of salt on cooking meat, and sprinkle a handful of salt on stew meat. At most, a few unknown leaves are placed for seasonings.
I can only say that I can’t kill anyone. If you want to talk about the taste, Xiahou Yu cannot make more comments except for the original flavor.
Fortunately, everyone except him had been used to eating it for a long time, so they didn't think the dishes tasted bad. Instead, they shouted enthusiastically and poured a glass of turbid green ant wine. The few of them were very happy to eat.
"I think Ziqing's works are also literary. I don't know what you think of the people in the world." When he was so excited, Xi Zhicai raised his glass and asked Xiahou Yu.
Xiahou Yu, who was dizzy after two cups tightly, once again did not control his mouth. "Yuan Shao is a man with a harsh and courageous character, and is willing to make plans without making decisions. He cherishes his life when doing big things, and forgets his life when he sees small profits. Although he is now in a state of aquatic wind, he will sooner or later lose to Cao Cao. As for Yuan Shu, hum, he is weaker than his brother. If it weren't for the name of the three masters of the Yuan family, he would sooner or later lose to his own ambitions based on his slightest bit of self. Tao Qian was confused and worried, and Liu Jingsheng had no real reputation, how could he be compared with Cao Mengde? As for Dong Zhuo of the cholera Han Dynasty, haha, you see, he will definitely die in the hands of his own people within two years."
After saying that, he boldly drank the bowl of wine in front of him in one sip, and then his eyes shrank down the table the next second.
After taking Xiahou Yu out of the table in a hurry, the others looked at each other and smiled, then ordered the servant to send Xiahou Yu back to the room, and the few continued to drink and have fun.
"What do you think of what Ziqing said just now?" At the end, Xi Zhicai asked with a wine glass.
"You literati are just too sensible. I don't have any opinions on what kind of rude men like me can have. Anyway, I know one thing, it's enough to follow Meng De to make achievements." After saying that, Xiahou Yuan drank the wine in front of him in one sip, and then looked at the moon above his head.
My cousin has been weak and sick since he was a child, especially after the serious illness before the New Year, his spirit has changed a lot. However, judging from his words and deeds, there is no big problem. Moreover, he has become much cheerful in the past few months than in the past decade. Whether it is the explanations he had to do with him at the beginning of the year or his various behaviors today, it is proving that his cousin is not as calm as he usually looks.
Under his uncontested face, he has the passion of playing against the sky.
Since my younger brother took the first step in a hesitant manner, then my older brother naturally had to push him behind him.
It is rare that a scholar from the Xiahou family came out of the country. I hope he can go further!
Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan smiled slightly from the corner of his mouth.
The next morning, Xiahou Yu, who woke up, rolled around in the bed like a maggot, wrapped in a quilt. When he thought of his embarrassing appearance last night, he had no courage to stick his head out. Instead of going out like this and being ridiculed, it would be better to suffocate him to death on this bed.
When it was noon after the sun was over, some people said that Cao Cao had already brought Cao Pi and Shu Xiu to the Xiahou family, and he reluctantly got up from the bed.
After he finished washing up, he came to the main hall and found that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were there early. Xi Zhicai, who came with him yesterday, smiled and blinked at him.
After less than half a cup of tea, the servants led Cao Cao and Cao Pi to the hall. After performing the apprenticeship ceremony, Cao Pi stood beside Xiahou Yu in a regular manner, while Cao Cao started chatting with the people present.
After listening a little by the side, Xiahou Yu lost interest. Boss Cao is not a workaholic, and he keeps working after speaking three words. If he hadn't reasoned that this is Xiahou Mansion and is now apprenticing to become a disciple, Xiahou Yu would probably have the idea of starting work directly.
After several people stood there and chatted for a while, Cao Cao realized his son who was standing there and stomping his feet. He apologized to Xiahou Yu slightly embarrassedly and then took him out.
Outside the door, the ox carts with several books had been waiting at the door for almost a morning. Under Cao Cao's leadership, everyone soon walked back to Cao Cao's mansion.
Here we have also made preparations and have vacated several wing rooms for Xiahou Yu's arrival.
Xiahou Yu walked around the wing room and was very satisfied. The room was backed by a bamboo forest, and not far from the front was a pond with live water. There was a small bridge and a wind and rain pavilion on the pond, and there was an octagonal table in the pavilion.
The whole place is exquisite and fresh. Whether it is permanent or temporary residence, it is a very good location.
Considering that Xiahou Yu was not in good health, the teaching area was not arranged very far. After leaving the wing room, he was a small private school less than fifty meters away. He would teach Cao Pi there for a long time until Cao Cao needed him to be born.
