Chapter 51 Visiting Xun Yu
Cao Chong naturally didn't know what happened to the situation of the General of the General's Mansion in the Five-Secrets.
After seeing Cao Zhi off at the east gate of Yecheng, he did not return to his mansion. Instead, he sat in the car and headed to the other direction of Zhuque Avenue.
There is a copybook on Cao Chong Chejia. This copybook is the original work of Cai Yong, a former calligrapher. Because Cai Yong's calligraphy is famous and his few works in existence are relatively rare, his calligraphy works have always been very precious.
Zhong Yao was proud of Cai Yong's calligraphy works.
Holding this precious calligraphy work, Cao Chong's purpose is Xun's mansion on the other side of the Zhuque Avenue.
This Xun Mansion is not Xun You's mansion, but Xun's mansion.
After all, Cao Chong wanted to do things under Xun. According to the convention of this era, he wanted to meet his superiors.
So after a few days of rest, Cao Chong decided to meet Xun.
After all, if you don’t get Xun’s support when doing things at Shangshutai, you will be unable to move forward.
Xun was called "the talent of Wang Zuo" in his early years. He was first appointed as a filial and honest man, and served as the governor of the palace. Later, he abandoned his post and returned home. He led his clan to take refuge in Jizhou and was appointed as the guest of honor by Yuan Shao. He later defected to Cao Cao. He became the Shizhong, guarded the Shangshu Ling, and was named the Marquis of Wansuiting. Because he served as Shangshu Ling, he held the weight for more than ten years and handled military and state affairs, he was respectfully called "Xun Lingjun".
Later, because he opposed Cao Cao's name as Duke of Wei, he was disliked by Cao Cao and was transferred from the center. He died of depression and illness in Shouchun (as soon as he persuaded poison to commit suicide). At the age of fifty, he was given the posthumous title of Jinghou and was later posthumously awarded the title of Taiwei.
Among the advisers of the Three Kingdoms, Xun could enter the top three positions. Without Xun, there would be no Cao Wei, and naturally there would be no so-called Three Kingdoms. Perhaps Cao Cao surrendered to Yuan Shu when Lu Bu was raging Yanzhou, and there would be no Guandu battle in which the weak defeated the strong in later generations was classic.
Cao Chong had respect for Xun, and he admired this old man!
The reason why Xun is an old man is that at this time, Xun was already in his fifties. The fifties in this era were completely in his seventies in later generations. It is indeed no problem to say that he was an old man.
Before Xun arrived at the Shangshu Deck in the morning, Cao Chong set out to visit Xun.
Rolling ~
The wheels rolled, and the surrounding scenery retreated. Soon, Cao Chong arrived at Xun's mansion.
Xun's mansion is not big, and the front door is not very luxurious. Instead, it is full of scholarly spirit.
Some of the fragrance of books.
The garden is covered with green trees and several stone people are placed there.
Cao Chong did not invite him to come this time, and he did not plan to have dinner in Xun's mansion, so he asked Gao Yi to bring his seal to inform Xun's mansion first.
At least, his identity is also a county marquis, and his title is two levels higher than Xun's Wansuiting Marquis.
So when Cao Chong arrived at Xun Mansion, there was already someone waiting in front of Xun Mansion.
This person Cao Chong knew, he was Xun Yun, Xun's eldest son, and the husband of Cao Qiu, the daughter of Cao Cao.
Cao Qiu is the daughter of Mrs. Bian, but after all, he is from the Cao family's bloodline and is also very close to Cao Chong.
Cao Chong quickly got off the carriage and stopped Xun Yun, who wanted to salute him.
"Brother Changqian, you are my brother-in-law. How can Cang Shu receive your gift?"
Regarding Xun's family, Cao Chong felt that it would be better for him to give them more face.
When Xun Yun heard Cao Chong's words, he felt a little complacent in his eyes, but he still stubbornly finished his etiquette.
"Although I am your brother-in-law, I am a county man. You are a marquis. When the county man sees Liehou, he will naturally have to salute him."
Cao Chong made a few more polite words to Xun Yun outside and immediately explained his purpose.
"Brother Changqian, I'm not sure about it. Cang Shu came here this time to visit Zun Mansion. I wonder if Zun Mansion has free time now?"
Xun Yun was not much surprised by Cao Chong's words. In this mansion, there was only one person worth visiting one of the two most powerful people in the dynasty.
That is Xun.
So Xun Yun smiled and said, "My father is boxing now, so I will take you there."
It seems a bit inappropriate to take it directly there, right?
So Cao Chong bowed to Xun Yun and said, "Brother Changqian, you should go and inform Zun Mansion first, so that Cang Shu will not lose his etiquette. You said yes?"
Although Cao Chong said this, Xun Yun did not accept Cao Chong's words, but instead laughed.
"My father had known you would come for a long time. He told me that if you came, just take it over."
Cao Chong was stunned. As an old official, Xun naturally understood the etiquette. In this way, it would be understandable to arrange Xun Yun to say such words.
Since others didn't mind, Cao Chong was not hesitant and followed Xun Yun into Xun's mansion directly.
This is the first time that Xun’s mansion Cao Chong has come in. Judging from the decoration of this mansion, it can be seen that the Xun family is worthy of being the representative of the Yingchuan gentry.
In Xun's Mansion, there is a bamboo forest, lush and shining in the sun.
The bamboo has tall branches and long branches, green all year round, and is proud of the snow. It is loved by Chinese people. It is known as the Four Gentlemen together with plum, orchid, and chrysanthemums. It is known as the Three Friends of the Cold and Cold with plum and pine. It is known as the Three Friends of the Year and the Cold. It is an ancient and modern literati and poetic scholar, and there are many people who love bamboo and chant bamboo.
Su Shi said: "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo."
The love of bamboo by ancient literati and poets is evident.
In addition to the bamboo forest, there are also a few wood fragrances in the courtyard wall, climbing on the courtyard wall, blooming in a magnificent manner.
The wood fragrance flowers have a unique and rich fragrance. They are climbing shrubs and planted on walls or on flower hedges. In early summer, the wood fragrance blooms, clusters, white as snow and yellow as clouds.
The legendary Jade Emperor liked to use wood-scented vines to pave the way when he went on a tour, which showed the elegant aroma of wood-scented fragrance.
In ancient times, women often wore wood fragrance flowers. If they met a close friend, they would wear them and give them to them.
In addition to wood-scented bamboo, there are also magnolias, lotus flowers in the pond, and even crabapple trees beside the road.
Just as the scenery in Xun Mansion, this can be said to be a botanical garden, not a residential area.
Cao Chong feasted his eyes, and Xun Yun turned around in three turns and soon waited Cao Chong under a secluded bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest blocks the sunshine of the morning. These sunshines are cut by fine bamboo leaves, leaving only some sparse scattering on the ground.
And here, Cao Chong also saw the person he wanted to meet.
Xun.
Xun was punching at this time, and looking at his posture, it seemed like a five-animal show.
The play of the five animals: one is a tiger, two is a deer, three is a bear, four is a monkey, and five is a bird.
At this time, Xun was playing the tiger style.
The tiger soldier was quick and fierce, but he showed a charm on Xun's hands.
However, in this agile body, Cao Chong also saw the white hair on both sides of Xun.
Xun is old after all, even if he has Wuqin play, he is old.
The Five Animal Play can relieve your sorrow, but it cannot relieve your sorrow.
And in recent years, Xun's heart was very tortured.
Because he was worried in his heart, and it was hard to get rid of this sorrow, even if Xun practiced the Five Animal Play every day, his people still aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.
