Chapter 2 Father

Gai Xun was lying beside the bed, looking at his sleeping wife hugging his daughter, his beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, his face was still stained with tears, and he couldn't help sighing. He studied under the great Confucian Ma Rong when he was young. Ma Rong praised his talent, and his granddaughter Ma

According to Zhao's wife, the couple's love for each other was so great after they got married that they couldn't even interfere with the marriage maid, let alone others. The only regret was that they only had one son and one daughter after more than ten years of marriage. This time, their only son fell from a horse and passed out.

The doctors in the county were at their wits' end and all said that the only way to wake up from this injury was by the injured person. The implication was that if he did not wake up, he would die. After hearing this, the couple's hearts dropped. Fortunately, God had eyes and revived their son.

Feeling a little relieved, he also used this as an excuse to persuade his wife to rest, otherwise she would never leave her son's bed for even half a step due to her temperament.

"It's just..." Gai Xun had enough reason to worry. After all, his son only woke up for a while and then passed out again. Who knew whether it would happen again, but he couldn't tell his wife about this.

Gai Xun silently stood up and walked into the side study, picked up a scroll of bamboo slips, and because of the boredom in his heart, he only glanced at it twice before throwing it back. He walked out of the door and wandered in the corridor. Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps approaching from far away.

Looking through the lights on the corridor wall, Abai, his son's personal maid, walked quickly, with a faint look of joy on her face. Her heart moved and she asked hurriedly: "But Jinnu is awake?" Jinnu is Gai Jun's nickname, that is,

As for baby names, the infant mortality rate in ancient times was extremely high, so parents gave their children nicknames as cheap as possible. This is evident from the nickname of the domineering general Liang Ji, who was nicknamed "Hu Gou".

Abai said happily: "Go back to the master, I'm awake. The young master just drank the decoction. Now he is hungry, so he asked the slave to get some food." He casually reported a few items, all of which were Gai Jun's favorite foods.

"How can these make up for the body? Hmm... today is the first day of the lunar month, it is not suitable to eat chickens and birds. You go and prepare more fish..." Gai Xun's sullen face relaxed, and he hesitated and added: "Also prepare some peaches.

liquor."

A Bai suppressed a smile and agreed to leave. It is true that peach wine can ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, but it is still wine. Although the young master is young, he is addicted to alcohol. The master is very strict on weekdays and will catch

He was beaten severely, so how could he take the initiative to give him a drink like this?

Not knowing what his maid was thinking, Gai Xun walked through the corridor and veranda to his son's bedroom, pushed the door open and entered.

Gai Jun was thinking wildly when he heard the sound of the door and subconsciously wanted to get up.

Gai Xun quickly stepped forward and held him down, scolding him: "Jinnu, you are seriously injured, how can you force yourself?"

"My son was reading the "Book of Filial Piety" when he was five years old. How can my father lie on the bed safely now?" Gai Jun tried hard to answer appropriately. After speaking, he quietly looked at his father, who was just as he remembered, he was seven feet five inches tall.

, his face is simple, his eyes are straight, his nose is straight, especially his sword-shaped eyebrows, which are black and long, giving him a graceful and majestic demeanor.

"It's good if you have such a heart. Lie down now." Gai Xun felt greatly comforted. He sat in front of the bed and gently stroked his son's right arm, which was wrapped with old cloth and bamboo slices. He said warmly: "Does it still hurt?"

"I just drank the decoction and I feel much better." Feeling his father's deep concern, Gai Jun's chest and abdomen felt hot. Isn't this exactly what he had been unable to achieve in his previous life? For the first time, he felt that it was good to come here.

At least he can get the love of his parents, although he will face tragic and troubled times in the near future.

It's not that he recognized his father, a famous official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but the names of Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and others were clearly in his memory. He didn't know much about the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but he was very familiar with the Three Kingdoms. Novels, games,

There are so many ways to understand this period of history in modern times through film and television. If we were to choose an era that Chinese people are most familiar with, the Three Kingdoms would undoubtedly take the top spot.

"Whatever, the worst case scenario is taking the whole family to the Western Regions to become king and hegemon. Anyway, Dunhuang is very close to the Western Regions, just out of the gate." He comforted himself like this.

Gai Xun said in a solemn tone: "Jinnu, this horse..."

Gai Jun thought about it carefully and couldn't help being speechless. This boy learned to ride and shoot when he was eight years old, and now he can pull a stone bow, which weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms. Riding and shooting have always been indistinguishable, so by reasoning, he can

Imagine how superb his horse riding skills were. However, such a young master of riding and shooting actually fell off his horse and died during a winter hunt not long ago.

Gai Jun said softly, "Hey", and he found that there were no stirrups in his memory. No, there were stirrups, but they were only one-sided, used to mount the horse.

"Do you want to make stirrups? This thing has no technical content." Thinking of this, Gai Jun's heart was pounding, but after thinking about it, he gave up. First of all, this is his trump card. If the Central Plains can't survive, he will point out

It is waiting for it to conquer the Western Regions. Secondly, the decline of the Han Dynasty is a foregone conclusion, and the internal fighting among the princes will be chaotic enough. If the Hu people have such sharp weapons and get involved, who knows whether the Five Husties will come early.

"Jinnu, Jinnu." Gai Xun called twice. Seeing that his son was distracted and absent-minded, he thought he couldn't accept it for a while. Thinking about it, his son loved riding and shooting, so how could he give up so easily, so he said, "This matter can be dealt with later.

talk."

"Oh, okay."

The two fell silent at the same time, and the room suddenly became extremely quiet. Gai Jun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He couldn't face his father calmly. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he asked: "Father, "The Analects of Confucius - Zi Zhang": Zi Xia said

: "If you are an official, you will learn, and if you are good at learning, you will be an official." What's the explanation? "Since you can't find a topic, just create one. 'He' has been studying the scriptures since he was a child, just memorizing them without asking for a deeper explanation, and accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years.

I have a question in my stomach, and now it’s time to ask my father for help.

A strange look flashed in Gai Xun's eyes, and he thought that Jin Nu had always liked martial arts but not literature. Unexpectedly, he did not want to suffer such a disaster this time, so he devoted himself to learning. It was really a blessing in disguise. He replied: "If you are a good official, you will learn and practice."

If you have some spare energy, you can study literature. If you are good at learning, you can become an official. If you have enough energy in practice, you can become an official."

Gai Jun asked again: ""The Analects of Confucius - Taibo": King Wu said: "I have ten treacherous ministers." What is the meaning of the garbled words?"

"Those who are in chaos must be cured."

After "The Analects", he asked about "Poetry", and then about "Book of Documents". The father and son asked and answered questions. Time passed quickly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

When Gai Jun finally heard the long-awaited knock on the door, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally gotten over it.

A Bai walked in with a bottle of wine and a girl holding a food sample. No matter her age, clothing or expression, this girl was exactly like A Bai. Her name was Axiu, and she was also a maid in the family.

Gai Xun asked him if he could get up. Even if he got a positive answer, he didn't dare to take it lightly. He ordered the second maid to carry the table in front of the bed so that his son could eat without getting out of bed. Although it was not in line with etiquette, he didn't care so much.

.

Ah Bai opened the lid and took out the fish soup, meat sauce, celery, beef breast, lamb breast and rice in order. One soup and four vegetables. It was obviously full of meat but not vegetarian.

Over there, Axiu took out two ear cups and filled them up respectively with Ezhong painted spoons. They were said to be cups, but in fact they were more like bowls from later generations.

Gai Jun knew that his father didn't like him drinking, but he didn't expect to make an exception today. It's funny to say that he seemed to have a grudge against alcohol in his previous life. He never drank alcohol, but the time-travel incident happened when he broke the abstinence for the first time. However, it seemed that he had a grudge against alcohol.

It was the instinct of his body that was causing trouble. Now he was unable to resist the contents of the glass. His eyes were fixed on the wine glass, unable to move away, as if he was under a restraining spell.

"Father, this..."

Gai Xun looked at his son's "wretched" appearance and laughed angrily: "You drink too much when you are young and don't know how to control it. How can you let it grow up now?" He waved his hand and sent the two maids to wait in the side room, and then said: "You right?

If you have difficulty with your arms, you can eat with your left hand." It turns out that Gai Jun is still left-handed, so he was beaten frequently when he was a child.

Gai Jun tried his best to imitate the actions in his memory, using his chopsticks lightly and chewing slowly. Although he was hungry and had a lot of food in his stomach, and there was a saying about "big supplement" in the Han Dynasty, he was well aware of the dangers of overeating and rarely included fish.

As for the wine, you can tell by looking at the wine that is getting empty. He drank half a bucket, and if his father hadn't glared at him frequently, there wouldn't be a drop left.

Gai Xun had been unable to eat or sleep these days. Now that he saw that his son seemed to be fine, fatigue immediately came to his heart. He called his two maids to clear away the dishes and tableware. When Gai Jun lay down again, he told him to have a good rest before he got up and left.

.

After the second maid cleaned up, she also went to rest, and the room returned to tranquility. After having had enough wine and food, and her body was aching, Gai Jun was not sleepy at all, so he could only stare at a place in a daze.

"Can't go back?"

"There are still people there that I can't let go of."

Thinking of this, my heart hurts.

-------------------------------------------------------

In the Han Dynasty, one foot was about 23 centimeters, and seven feet and five inches was about 173 centimeters.

In the Han Dynasty, one stone was one hundred and twenty kilograms (30 kilograms)

Bows in the Han Dynasty were generally divided into one stone, two stones, and up to two and a half stones. Two stones and a half were three hundred kilograms. Only strong generals could draw them. Of course, some people could draw heavier bows, but it was not conducive to actual combat.

Rice in the book does not refer to rice, but millet, which is millet.
