Chapter 2 Lucky Draw at the beginning of the month and Rejection of Invitation
I was speechless all night, and I thanked you for having determined my life goal, so I slept fairly peacefully.
"Brother, are you awake?" At dawn, there were knocks on the door.
"Come on, come on!" Xie Xin jumped up immediately and hurriedly opened the door.
The person outside the door was naturally Xie Xin's sworn brother Gongsun Sheng. At this moment, when he saw Xie Xin being so energetic, he felt much better. If Xie Xin told him that he had remembered everything, then he would be even happier.
"Brother-in-law came here early in the morning. What's important?" Xie Xin looked out the window and realized that it was only about seven o'clock in the morning.
"It's nothing, it's just that you and I have just escaped from prison, and brother Xian, your injuries are not fully healed yet. I'm just worried that you didn't sleep well last night." Gongsun Sheng replied with a smile.
At this moment, he was also very happy, because based on Xie Xin's performance, he felt that the other party might have recovered.
"Thank you for your concern, brother. I slept peacefully last night." I thanked him with a letter of thanks.
Seeing Xie Xin acting like this, Gongsun Sheng understood that this guy had not recovered his memory. Otherwise, given their previous friendship, why would Xie Xin be so restrained?
"It's good that brother Xian is fine. Brother, I'm just relieved. It's still a little early now. Brother Xian, please have a good rest. My brother and his family will come later. Let me introduce you to brother Xian!" Gongsun Sheng dropped these words and said
He left in low spirits.
Xie Xin had nothing to do about it, after all, the body in this body was not his adopted brother, but a traveling soul in a foreign land.
The Eastern Han Dynasty generally only had two meals, so don't expect a thank you letter for breakfast. When he was bored, he took out the five classics, picked up the "Three Character Classic" and started reading.
After just flipping through it, the "Three Character Classic" turned into a white light and merged into his body. The next second, the content of the book completely appeared in his mind, and he could even recite it effortlessly.
So he flipped through the other four books, and the result was the same as the "Three Character Classic". They all turned into white light and merged into his body, and then the contents of the book were completely imprinted in his mind.
"The products produced by the system are indeed not extraordinary!" Xie Xin couldn't help but sigh as he looked through the scriptures in his mind.
"Attention, this month's lottery has begun. Please shake the roulette wheel as soon as possible!" At this time, the system's voice came out again.
"What's going on with that lottery? According to the information provided by Three Kingdoms Entrepreneurship OL, there is no such thing at all!" Xie Xin couldn't help but ask.
"This system doesn't know about this. It's probably because of the power of the rules of this world that the system has undergone abnormal mutation, which is why this monthly lottery happened." The system quickly answered Xie Xin's question.
"Yeah, I'm the only one playing the whole game. It's normal for things to change!" Xie Xin muttered and still pulled down the roulette lever.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he hadn't looked carefully enough to see what was on the roulette wheel.
However, as the roulette wheel slowly decelerated, Xie Xin noticed something.
There were secret books, scriptures, equipment, pets and some miscellaneous items on the roulette wheel. What attracted him most was the White Dragon Horse on the Snow and the secret book "Yi Jin Jing".
What he least wanted was fifty gold dollars for miscellaneous items.
As the pointer slowly stopped, his heart began to be affected.
His heart almost broke when he saw the pointer slowly stop on the fifty gold dollar grid for miscellaneous items.
Fortunately, the pointer moved slightly again and jumped to the next grid.
On that grid, it was written "Rudimentary Academy Hall Design Plan".
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Simple Academy Hall Design Drawing". Using this design drawing to build the academy hall, students' concentration level will increase by 20%, and their understanding ability will also increase by 10%. The design drawing has been placed in the package,
The host can be called at any time!" The system soon sounded a prompt.
Because of this reminder, Xin Xin, who was originally a little depressed, immediately felt better.
He knows how important this attribute bonus is to an academy. With this hall, the teaching effect will naturally be greatly improved in the future.
But when he saw the design of this hall, he was a little speechless.
Because what is shown in the design is just a thatched cottage! The roof is completely thatched, and I don’t know if there will be rainwater leaking when it rains.
But now Xie Xin had no time to worry about it, because the door was knocked again.
"Who is it?" Xie Xin quickly went to open the door.
I saw Gongsun Sheng and a teenage child standing outside the door smiling.
"Come, thank you for seeing you, brother Xin!" Gongsun Sheng said to the child with a smile.
"My little brother Gongsun Zan, I have met Brother Xie!" The child version of Gongsun Zan was obedient and bowed to Xie Xin. "My little brother, don't do this. Get up quickly!" Xie Xin smiled and immediately straightened him up.
It was about this time that I realized what I was doing.
"Gongsun Zan? Are you the Gongsun Zan from Liaoxi Lingzhi?" Xie Xin called in surprise.
"Brother Xian, do you know my cousin?" Gongsun Sheng asked doubtfully.
"Ahem... I don't know why, but I always feel that you mentioned it before in prison, and you seemed quite proud at that time. Have you forgotten?" Xie Xin quickly found an excuse to deal with it.
"Is that so? Maybe, after all, our Gongsun family is proud, so I will naturally mention it. But I didn't expect that my dear brother would still remember it." Gongsun Sheng said proudly.
"I don't remember very well. Some things are remembered, but some are not. This memory is so irritating." Xie Xin pointed to his head with a dissatisfied expression.
"Don't worry about it. I heard that some people can't remember it for the rest of their lives. It's already good that my dear brother can remember something." Gongsun Sheng persuaded with a smile.
At about this time, he suddenly remembered something and immediately said to Xie Xin: "My cousin is here to study in Luoyang. Now he has become a disciple of the great scholar Lu Zhi!
"
"Oh? You are actually Master Lu's student? That's really congratulations!" Xie Xin felt a little envious.
These days, the relationship between teachers, students, and classmates is very important. He can quickly build a deep interpersonal relationship for you. Especially for masters, if you have a good teacher, people will look up to you wherever you go in the future.
It's just that although Lu Zhi's reputation is great, Xie Xin and Gongsun Sheng's teachers are even more famous. He was Li Ying, one of the two key figures in the party chaos during Emperor Huan's period.
"I hope he can cherish this opportunity. If he can learn something useful from Mr. Lu, I will be satisfied." Gongsun Sheng stroked his beard and looked at Gongsun Zan with a smile.
As a cousin, he naturally knows this cousin very well.
From what he knew about Gongsun Zan, he was afraid that he joined Lu Zhi's disciples just for the sake of gilding. As for Lu Zhi's knowledge, he was afraid that he would disdain and learn from it.
Gongsun Zan was naturally upset when Gongsun Sheng teased him so much, especially in front of others, so he immediately swore: "I swear that from today on, I will study hard. Is this okay?"
In fact, he didn't hate reading, but he just watched his cousin, a scholar, not only become a nerd, but also land himself in jail.
So in his opinion, it is better to have less contact with books, so as not to become a nerd himself.
What's more, he himself liked practicing martial arts more than studying essays, so he naturally threw away his books as time went by. On the contrary, he became much stronger physically and his martial arts improved a lot.
"I hope so. A descendant of the Gongsun family can't just be a pure martial artist..." Gongsun Sheng lectured Gongsun Zan again.
"Brother, my brother is not young anymore, he will know these truths." Seeing Gongsun Zan looking sleepy, Xie Xin naturally came out to smooth things over.
"Yeah, that's right." Apparently Gongsun Sheng didn't bother to continue, so he naturally went down the stairs.
After thinking about it, I finally remembered the business, so I said to Xie Xin: "By the way, dear brother, when I was chatting with Bogui just now, I learned that our branch has moved to western Liaoning, so I will return to western Liaoning to visit you tomorrow.
Parents, I just don’t know what my good brother’s plans are.”
Judging from his expression, the invitation is almost written on his face. If the thank you letter can't be seen, there is no need for him to mess around.
As for his so-called plan, of course he asked Xie Xin. Do you plan to return to your hometown to visit your parents? Or stay in Luoyang and try to restore your academic status (you have been expelled from Taixue)? Or return to western Liaoning with him to enjoy happiness?
Xie Xin thought about it, and he also wanted to go to Liaoxi. With the Gongsun family behind Gongsun Sheng taking care of him, it would definitely be more convenient for him to build a college there.
After thinking about it further, he replied helplessly: "I have been in prison for many years, and I don't know how my parents are doing at home. It was already inappropriate not to be filial in the past. How can I let my parents continue to worry now?"
My brother will return home to Nanyang first and take good care of his parents, and then if conditions permit, he will go to Liaoxi to meet his brother!"
"Well, my parents are not far away, and my dear brother is also a very filial person. In this way, it is not easy to force my brother. If it is because of my parents, let them come to Liaoxi together. In that one-third of an acre of land, we
The Gongsun family can still take good care of you." Gongsun Sheng said helplessly.
However, in his heart, his evaluation of Xie Xin was considered to be one level higher. After all, if Xie Xin returned to Liaoxi with him for enjoyment, regardless of the feelings of his parents at home.
Then even if he becomes a sworn brother in the future, he will take good care of this sworn brother. But it is impossible for him to confide in Xie Xin.
The so-called "filial piety comes first", after all, today is a society governed by people, and "filial piety" is an important criterion for evaluating a person, and there is no one.
The eight virtues of a gentleman: filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame. ‘Filial piety’ ranks first, which shows its importance.
Seeing that Gongsun Sheng failed to invite Xie Xin back as a guest, he took a piece of copper from his waist and gave it to Xie Xin.
"This is a flying money voucher from the Tongde counter. It can be exchanged for fifty gold yuan at the main store in Luoyang. This time the brothers return to their hometowns, and we cannot give them to each other. This is a small gift, and it can help my brother return to his hometown.
Secondly, it can be used to buy gifts for my brother and give them to the two elders; thirdly, if my brother is willing to come to Liaoxi, he can also have some travel expenses, and he can also buy some real estate after arriving." Gongsun Sheng took Xie Xin's hand and took the copper
The piece was firmly placed in the palm of his hand.
"Brother, how can this be done!" Xie Xin immediately handed the flying money back anxiously.
It's not that he's not greedy for money, but it would be too rude to accept it with a smile.
"That's right! You are my brother, and your parents are my parents. I can't go to greet you in person, so I should send you a generous gift to apologize. If you treat me as your brother, then accept this flying money, otherwise you will be my brother.
I'm going to be angry!" Gongsun Sheng pretended to be angry and stuffed the flying money into a letter of thanks.
The two pushed each other three times, and Xie Xin reluctantly accepted it. His face was helpless, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Okay, it's still early! I'm treating you tonight. You and I will go to Manchun Tower to have a good time! I heard that there will be a new dancer tonight. Her name is Bian Linglong. Why don't you and I go?
Come and see!" Gongsun Sheng saw that Xie Xin had accepted the flying money, and he was in a good mood, so he mentioned it to Xie Xin.
Bian Linglong!
Hearing this name, Xie Xin was immediately shocked. If the character is correct, isn't this woman the future Queen Wuxuan, the one who gave birth to Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Xiong for Cao Cao?
However, based on age, Bian Linglong is probably only ten years old now...
Without waiting for what Xie Xin said, Gongsun Sheng began to talk to himself: "Although that Bian Linglong is only ten years old, she has big breasts and fat buttocks, and what's even more rare is that she has a thin waist.
Although Bian Linglong is young, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. What is even more rare is her beautiful dancing, which makes people forget her age.
It's a pity that she is not from Chunmanlou, and she has made it clear that she is not selling her body as a performer, but she has harmed a group of men who admire her."
So that’s it, it’s just about showing off one’s skills and not one’s body!
Xie Xin finally understood. No wonder history says that Bian Linglong was valued by Cao Cao, who was idle in his hometown in Qiao County, when he was twenty years old, and was taken in as a concubine.
"But, how can she protect herself in this world?" Xie Xin couldn't help but ask.
"Who dares to touch her? Although the Han Dynasty says that eunuchs are in power, the law is still there. Bian Linglong is a subject of my Han Dynasty, and she should be protected by Han law. If she is not willing, who would dare to touch her?" Gongsun Sheng answered in an awe-inspiring manner.
arrive.
But at the end, he quietly came to Xie Xin's ear and said to him: "There are rumors that General Dou Wu has fallen in love with her, and half-publicly said that when the girl turns twelve, he will marry her back to his private house. So everyone in the world said
Especially in this land of Luoyang, I'm afraid no one will dare to touch her."
Xie Xin finally understood that he was regarded as a real-power general. Even if other people were crooked, they would not dare to take action.
"Let's not talk about that. I wonder what my dear brother thinks of tonight's trip?" Gongsun Sheng looked at Xie Xin with expectant eyes.
"Since my brother will leave to return to western Liaoning tomorrow, even if I risk my life tonight, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman!" At this point, how could Xie Xin not go?
The two laughed and started chatting.
However, they did not notice that Gongsun Zan was pushed aside at this moment and completely ignored by the two of them.
