"Greetings to Mr. Wei. I am stationed here under the orders of Duke Cao to protect the entire palace." Cao Xiu left fifty soldiers outside the gate of the mansion and came to pay a visit alone.
He didn't know Lu Yu's reasons, so he thought that his uncle Cao Cao was concerned about the safety of Wei Lao, so he "mobilized troops and mobilized people" like this.
"Oh..." Wei Hong gently knocked on his forehead, and he quickly understood what Cao Cao meant, "Young general, there are two distinguished guests in our palace. Since we are bodyguards, I will protect them carefully, young general."
…Two distinguished guests?
Cao Xiu paused for a moment. Sure enough, his uncle had a deep intention in appointing him. There are not many people who can be called a distinguished guest by Mr. Wei!
"Old Wei, General, can you please pay a visit to these two distinguished guests?" Cao Xiu thought they were some big shot...
After all, his uncle Cao Cao had a wide network of contacts and had many good teachers and friends... It could be that he was a great scholar like "Zheng Xuan" who was famous all over the world and had thousands of disciples, or he was a critic like Xu Shao who was criticized on the first day of the month.
If you can get his guidance and advice, you will definitely benefit a lot.
For a moment, Cao Xiu could vaguely realize the "good intentions" of his uncle Cao Cao.
"It's okay to pay a visit, but..." Wei Hong looked at the sky and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Today, the two distinguished guests have been busy in the fields in the backyard."
"If General Cao wants to pay a visit, just go directly. But don't lead troops. Don't scare them."
"Of course." Cao Xiu handed over his hand... "Cao Xiu resigned..."
As he spoke, Cao Xiu quickly walked to the backyard.
At this moment, he was particularly impressed that this "honored guest" was really unfathomable. He had no concern for worldly affairs, but he was in the field, returning to his original nature, and he was a true Confucian.
Confucian scholars had a special status in the Han Dynasty. When meeting Confucian scholars, they had to be especially respectful.
…
On the other hand, at this moment, Lu Yu was lying comfortably on a lounge chair under the grape trellis in the backyard of the Wei Mansion.
Cai Zhaoji sat on another recliner, but she, who had always followed the rules, did not dare to lie down like Lu Yu, because she felt it was a bit too bold.
There were pretty maids on the side who were slightly bent. They were wearing pleated skirts, and their graceful figures were unconsciously visible. They were holding pink fists, gently beating their legs for Lu Yu, and beating their shoulders for Cai Zhaoji.
Lu Yu felt very comfortable with this feeling of being served, but Cai Zhaoji was not used to it...
There was a table next to it, with two cups of hot tea on it, and some rare fruits, such as grapes. A maid removed the skins of the grapes for Lu Yu, and then placed them on a clean plate for these guests.
A "little master" eats...
"Brother Lu Yu, I think... we are a bit..."
Cai Zhaoji asked this because her mood was a bit complicated, so and so...beautiful women's clothing, the days when clothes come and go, food comes and food opens, although there is nothing wrong with it, but...is it a bit too "corrupt"?
You know, just a few days ago, they had a very difficult time in Cao's camp;
Even a few months ago or a year ago, the days when we went south were not so enjoyable, right?
Cai Zhaoji always feels bad...
Such a "corrupt" life will wear away the willpower of her and brother Lu Yu...
at this time.
"Sister Zhaoji..." Lu Yu signaled and asked the maid to pass the plate full of grapes to Cai Zhaoji, and advised her. "Since I want to lead Sister Zhaoji to live a good life, I definitely can't sleep in the open and live under someone else's roof... I think it's fine now."
.”
What Lu Yu said was somewhat against his will...
Good old days? Where have they come from?
Although there was no sunshine, beaches, yachts, or bikinis in ancient times... there were still many ways to make people happy. For example... Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong set many examples.
Why do palace maids wear crotchless pants?
Why drive a donkey cart around?
Why open a commercial street to collect rent?
What... build 'Wangshuhe' and let the palace maids and concubines have fun in it...
Lu Yu thought that when it came to "corruption", he was far from the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
The more he thought about it, Lu Yu felt no trace of guilt in his heart. He even felt that he could make further progress! How about starting with the crotchless pants?
Seeing that Cai Zhaoji still couldn't let go, Lu Yu lay down and patted her shoulder.
"Sister Zhaoji, life is not only about the things in front of you, but also poetry and things in the distance... After being busy for so long, it’s good to stop occasionally, lie down and look at the scenery."
this…
Cai Zhaoji smiled bitterly. This was what she said in her heart at this moment - I can't understand it, but I can't refute it either.
"Sister Zhaoji, eat grapes..." Lu Yu took out a grape and put it into Sister Zhaoji's mouth. He smiled slightly when he saw her mouth moving slightly.
This look made all the maids feel "sweet" and a little envious for no reason. They thought in their hearts that Miss Zhaoji was so lucky to have such a **** brother...
Tasting the sweetness and sourness of the grapes, Cai Zhaoji said helplessly "Oh", forget it, brother Lu Yu said so, just enjoy the moment.
"Brother Lu Yu, did you just say that these grapes were not brought by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions? But it is recorded in ancient books and documents that grapes and guavas were brought back from the Silk Road..."
With nothing to do, Cai Zhaoji asked the question about "grapes" in her heart. Talented women in this world are always full of curiosity and desire to explore.
only…
Lu Yu smiled slightly and stuffed a grape into his mouth. "How about saying that many records in ancient books and documents are lies... Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions as an envoy and was captured by the Huns twice? Even if he brought back some grapes from the Western Regions,
'?It fell into the hands of the Huns a long time ago? How could they bring back the big man?"
"To be precise, these grapes were brought back by 'Second General' Li Guangli from his three expeditions to the Dawan Kingdom during the reign of Emperor Wu. Since then, they have been promoted in a small area in the Han Dynasty. But I didn't expect that there is a grape forest in the Wei Mansion.
!”
The second general, Li Guangli, was a general during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Compared with the dazzling famous generals such as "Wei Qing and Huo Qubing", Li Guangli is indeed a bit "famous, but it is difficult to live up to it".
Because of the final defeat and surrender to the Huns, many of his achievements were attributed to others. For example, the introduction of "grapes" was attributed to Zhang Qian and the Silk Road.
Cai Zhaoji is familiar with ancient books, but how could she know that ancient books do not represent the truth... There are many secrets hidden in the middle.
Lu Yu, the "most powerful brain" who has traveled through time, will undoubtedly be able to get closer and understand these "truths" better!
"Really?" Cai Zhaoji blinked with big eyes... "Although what brother Lu Yu said is different from the ancient books, my sister can't find any flaws. Maybe... brother Lu Yu's opinion is right."
When she said this, she smiled slightly. Together with Lu Yu, she could always hear a lot of knowledge that she had never heard of before. Although it may not be correct, she could not refute what Lu Yu's brother said.
For example... right now, she and brother Lu Yu were sitting leisurely on the recliner, but... the younger brother ordered all the servants in the house to plant the seeds.
But the beans grown were the most mediocre ones.
This... Cai Zhaoji is a little confused.
"Brother Lu Yu, my sister has only heard that if you sow melons, you will get melons, and if you sow beans, you will get beans. But what do you mean by 'sowing beans' in Wei Mansion?"
Cai Zhaoji couldn't help but ask again and again...
"Well..." Lu Yu blurted out subconsciously. "Let's do an experiment!"
"Experiment?" Cai Zhaoji didn't understand even more. She didn't even know what an experiment was?
"Sister Zhaoji, you will know in a few days that this little bean contains huge energy!" Lu Yu's eyes narrowed, and his tone suddenly became a little more serious. "This energy, can
Let the 300,000 yellow turban thieves in Yanzhou surrender!"
Huo…
Cai Zhaoji was startled.
Xiao Xiaodouzi? Three hundred thousand yellow turban thieves surrendered! Brother Lu Yu, this is such a big statement!
