  Chapter 2769 Good and Bad Matters

  Fei Qian likes to ask Fei Zhen to write some articles.

  Fei Zhen's irritability is just because he, like most children, likes to play and doesn't like to waste his brain.

  Writing articles, especially writing good articles, is undoubtedly a mind-consuming thing.

  If you just play, it’s so cool, especially if you don’t need to use your brain, it’s even more fun to play simple movements that only require instinct. But for most children, writing articles helps them exercise their logical thinking ability, and the proofs, extensions, metaphors, and bypasses of the arguments in the articles can help children understand more things, and understand something from them.

  Fei Zhen's troubles are nothing but troubles, but he also understands that this is good for him, so he went back to the backyard and thought about it all afternoon with a sad face, but he didn't come up with any clues.

  Fei Zhen seems to understand a little bit, but not quite.

  『Madame invites Shaolang to have a meal together. 』

  The servant outside the house bowed his head and said respectfully.

   "Uh... Got it..." Fei Zhen's thoughts were disturbed.

  Although he didn't have many thoughts.

Looking at the paper spread out on her desk and the few drops of ink that accidentally dripped on it, Fei Zhen sighed in her heart, put down the pen, got up and left the room, and went to the back hall. Mother, when I sit down to eat, I also feel a little tasteless.

   Huang Yueying glanced at it, "What's wrong? What did your father ask you to write again? Isn't it just writing articles? After you have read so many books, it is so difficult to make up three to five hundred words? 』

  『…』 Fei Zhen was speechless.

   Can this be the same?

  There are indeed many words in the book, but those words are not my own.

  I do know those words, but I am not familiar with those words, at least not at the level that is already mature and can move on it...

  『Tell me, what did your father ask you to write? Huang Yueying asked while eating, "Let my mother make a plan for you..."

  Although it is said that Confucius said that you should eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.

   This has also become the general etiquette norms for the children of the gentry, but that is on a formal occasion, and now Huang Yueying and Fei Zhen are in their backyard.

  In addition, the birth of these etiquettes was caused by the social environment and production and living conditions at that time.

  During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no fine food, let alone rice. It was basically barley, and it was also coarse wheat. Coupled with the lack of cooking skills, it was difficult for even nobles and officials to eat fine food.

   Duke Zhou vomited and fed, not because Zhou Gong liked to do it, but because the food was too rough at that time, and it was like swallowing sand if it was not chewed. Therefore, if you speak when there is still a mouthful of "sand" in your mouth, you will know what kind of scene it is after thinking about it...

But now, after Fei Qian promoted refined food such as flour and rice noodles, most of the food that appeared on the tables of the children of the gentry are not the kind that need to be chewed for a long time before swallowing, making people talking at the table It's ok too. It will not choke yourself or spray others.

  『The dog...is not fine...』 Fei Zhen swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said again, 『No, it’s a "merit and demerit"...』

  『 Merits and demerits? ’Huang Yueying let out a sigh, she didn’t care much at first, but after taking a few more mouthfuls, she stopped with her chopsticks, ‘Tell me, what’s it like? 』

   Fei Zhen also stopped, and then explained the general process.

  Huang Yueying nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Then you really should think about it... write it well..."

  『Mother...』 Fei Zhen smiled shyly, that’s not what you said just now, and you also said that you want to help yourself plan!

  『Don’t even think about it! Huang Yueying snorted, "You asked me to make you a **** whip, I can make it for you right away, but the article..."

   Fei Zhen shrank her head, "Okay. 』

   After eating, Huang Yueying glanced at Fei Zhen, and couldn't help but said, "This article is really important, you have to write it well, understand?" 』

  『? 』A question mark popped up on Fei Zhen's forehead, and then an exclamation point popped up secretly.

  Huang Yueying immediately stared again and said, "You have to write it yourself!" Don't look for your second mother! 』

   The exclamation mark on Fei Zhen's forehead suddenly faded, "Got it. 』

  『Go ahead. Write carefully. Huang Yueying waved her hands, "What do you want for supper tonight?" How about making you some meat soup for your mother? 』

  Is this a preparation for me to study hard? Fei Zhen couldn't help but want to complain, but she held back after all, "Anything is fine. 』

  Just finished saying this, Fei Zhen was stunned.

  He seems to have thought of something, but this kind of concept is like a firefly in a summer night, like a flickering light spot, hard to catch...

  …(ˇˇ) think~…

  Some people say that luck in this world is quantitative. If someone has more luck, someone will have less luck. Perhaps the same is true for thinking. Some people think more, and some people think less.

  If the central word is replaced with joy, or some other words, it seems to be valid?

   Does this mean that heaven and earth have a natural balance ability?

  In a place about a day away from Xu County, along the flat land on both sides of the official road, and close to the water source, stands the Youzhou Cao Jun Cavalry Academy, which came from Youzhou and will soon become the protagonist of the celebration.

Because it is in the hinterland of Cao Jun's base camp, and they came to participate in the celebration to receive the commendation, so these camps built by Cao Jun naturally did not have many auxiliary fortifications, neither digging deep trenches, nor plugging them with golden juice. Bamboo sticks and wooden stakes, after all, are surrounded by common people, if they are accidentally dyed, it will be more or less troublesome. On the whole, although there are no such defensive facilities, the camp is relatively neatly set up, and the tents in the camp can be regarded as a standard layout.

Now is the time to bury the pot for cooking, and the air is filled with the fragrance of rice and meat. Although it is not yet the time for the celebration, it is not yet possible to drink and have fun, but for these soldiers of the military academy who returned from Youzhou, it is very important to be able to return. Arriving in the hinterland of Dahan is more or less a happy thing, so in the camp, there will be some laughter from time to time.

  But in this camp, there are still slight differences between soldiers and military academies.

Those with louder voices, brighter voices, and more radiant faces are members of the Cao family or the Xiahou family, or at least some relatives with the Cao family or the Xiahou family, while others are Either join in the fun, or stand on the sidelines, different.

  In order to participate in this celebration, not only the officials allocated the best armor for replacement, but even the soldiers themselves were very concerned about it, and even the utensils they used on weekdays were washed and polished repeatedly. After all, in the military, how can there be a way to say that they pay attention to appearance every day, and all military robes and armor are spotless, so that they can be used as a guide to others?

In addition, there was no stainless steel in the Han Dynasty. Although it was winter, the climate in the Han Dynasty was obviously milder than that of later generations, so it was inevitable that there would be some rust spreading, and it needed to be polished from time to time, otherwise it would be left there for a few days. The rust is getting deeper and deeper, not only is it difficult to polish, but it can't even be removed.

  More than ten miles away from the camp, Xia Houshang was waiting on the left side of the road with a dozen personal guards.

  Of course Cao Chun couldn’t leave the station without authorization, so he sent Xia Houshang as the leader of the team who accepted the ceremony badge.

Seeing that the sky was getting late, the night was falling, the flow of people on the official road changed from more to less, and finally there was no one, Xia Houshang couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and muttered in a low voice, "This general Baidi... I really don't know for sure... Wait, wait, my legs and feet are almost broken, and this hasn't happened yet? Could it be that they are looking for fun or something, forgetting about us? 』

  Xiahoushang looked at the guard who Chuan reported first, and said with a stare: "Didn't you say that General Xiahou will arrive today?" 』

  The personal guard who dared to touch Xia Houshang's bad luck at this time, said with a smile on his face: "Little one, I also heard what General Xiahou's guard said... Maybe something delayed me on the way? Since the guards of General Xiahou have said it, then it is unlikely that they will not come... Now that the Lord has done a lot of hard work, General Xiahou must come to praise the Lord when he comes. Receive meritorious service, get promoted and get rich...』

  Xia Houshang stroked the beard on his chin, and laughed hahaha, obviously the flattery from the personal guard made him feel very comfortable.

To be honest, Xia Houshang didn't have much meritorious service at all. All his experience in battle was sitting in the camp at the back and shouting words like "Brothers give me a fight", and he even lost battles. It was covered up, and it was not reported, but this made Xia Houshang a meritorious person and could accept the emperor's commendation.

  Xia Houshang laughed, and expressed his humility, "I am already satisfied with such a status, and I am afraid it will be difficult if I want to move over... Don't worry!" If you follow me, although it may not be possible for you to be high officials and enjoy two thousand stones, at least there is no problem with the mansion with acres of land! Add in some property purchases, Mei Ji's servants and so on, in the future each of you will give birth to more than a dozen fat boys, and your family will prosper! 』

  The guards were also joking around, laughing one after another, or bowing their hands to express their thanks, or expressing that they dare not think about a thousand-acre mansion, and that they would be satisfied with a land of one hundred and eighty mu, etc...

  While talking and laughing, the sound of horseshoes came from the official road, which immediately made Xia Houshang and others shut up and cheer up. There seemed to be some torches in the distance rising and falling, gradually approaching with the sound of horseshoes.

   Not long after, Xia Houyuan was seen under the torch.

  Xiahoushang and the others couldn't help cheering when they saw it, and went forward to welcome it.

  Don’t worry about whether it’s secretly called “white land and black land” or not, at least now Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are the face of the Xiahou clan!

  The two teams gathered together, Xia Houshang rushed forward, and personally led Xia Houyuan's horse and pedaled, with a pleasant smile on his face, "The general has worked hard all the way!" 』

  『Hahaha, I didn’t work hard, but you all worked hard! ”Xia Houyuan dismounted, patted Xia Houshang on the shoulder, and then nodded to the group of guards behind Xiahoushang, “They are all good sons of Xiahou’s family! Not bad! This time, I gave Xiahou's parents a face! 』

   A group of people suddenly laughed, very happy.

  Xia Houshang quickly said: "It's all thanks to the general..."

  Xia Houyuan laughed, made gestures, put his arms around Xia Houshang and said, "I heard that this time the reward is quite generous, so don't you take it all by yourself, more or less you have to give some to your sons!" 』

Although Xia Houyuan said that he may have a bad reputation in some aspects, he still has nothing to say about his treatment of his brothers and subordinates. In history, even when Yan and Yu were in chaos, he would rather give up his youngest son because of hunger and lack. To support the orphan girl of her deceased brother.

  Xiahoushang's smile was unavoidably awkward.

In this era, in the concept of the Xiahou family of the Cao family, in order to grasp the morale of the army, in addition to being able to lead the soldiers to win battles, they should also be kind and righteous, giving money to help the soldiers buy property, so as to save everyone's life. Benefits are bundled together. It is almost a matter of course in this era to take money in the hands of the superior and work for the superior.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Xiahouyuan to talk about letting Xiahoushang share the reward, but if Xiahoudun said this, he would probably not say it in public, but would find an opportunity to say it in private …

  Xia Houshang just responded repeatedly, "This is nature, this is nature..."

  In the Han Dynasty, it is a great thing to have an acre of property. In the concept of ordinary people, it is an industry that can be passed down from generation to generation.

  Xia Houyuan didn't pay attention, or even if he did, he ignored Xia Houshang's expression, and said directly to the surrounding soldiers: "Youbei has won a great victory, well played!" This is like a treasured knife, after all it has to be honed to be sharp! The land of Youzhou is the place to use soldiers! There will be big events in the future, and it will definitely be of great use! Future merits are indispensable! Who would think too much of these benefits of sealing a wife and shade! 』

   This sentence reached the hearts of the surrounding soldiers, and there was a lot of cheering immediately.

   Among the big men, the general is in charge of an army, and then these personal guards and private soldiers who follow the general, it has become commonplace for the father to die and the son to succeed. Under the general, not only his own family, but many soldiers have been living with the general for a long time. It is also a matter of course for the master and general to take good care of his subordinates. Isn't it just to "seal his wife and shade son" when he came out to work? If he couldn't even take care of his own family and couldn't live on, who would go to fight for the Cao family and Xiahou family?

Seeing that everyone's spirits were mobilized, Xia Houyuan also nodded in satisfaction, and then walked a few steps aside with Xia Houshang's shoulders. The two personal guards also knew that Xia Houyuan and Xia Houshang were probably If they had something to say, they all moved away to make room for the two generals.

  After leaving the crowd, Xia Houyuan's expression became a little gloomy.

  Xiahou Shangbie is not very good, but he still has some ability to observe words and emotions. Seeing this, he whispered: "General, what's the matter?" 』

  Xia Houyuan nodded lightly, then glanced back at the group of soldiers who were talking with a smile not far away, and then said to Xia Houshang: "Did you hear about it in Qiao County?" 』

  Xiahoushang's heart skipped a beat, "This... I've heard a little about it..."

Although it is said that Xia Houshang came from Youzhou in the north, the local officials who provided supplies and resettlement for them will more or less reveal some current events, and tell Xiahoushang some changes in Xu County, Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and Jizhou. Xia Houshang also knew a little bit.

  『It’s good to know. ’Xia Houyuan was silent for a while, and then took another step or two, ‘Now this moment is very critical... Don’t look at the fact that the Lord is in the high position of the prime minister, but in fact the local gentry...Hmph, now we have to tidy up the place. At the critical moment, there must be no troubles within us... Do you understand? 』

  Xia Houshang nodded repeatedly.

  Even if Xia Houyuan didn't specifically confess this, Xia Houshang would not do things that are self-defeating. After all, he is a member of the Xiahou clan, and his prosperity and wealth are all associated with the Cao clan, Xiahou clan.

"The Son of Heaven is going to hold a celebration, and there are people from Guanzhong..." Xia Houyuan said, "The gang in Guanzhong... I think they must be uneasy and kind, I don't know what kind of tricks they have to make... By the way, I came here this time to ask You... this Youbei battle, what exactly did you... what did you do in it? How many points have been gained? 』

"what? ! 』Xia Houshang was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he didn't know what to say.

"Your martial arts..." Xia Houyuan said it so directly that Xia Houshang didn't know how to respond, "So you said how many enemies you killed, how many beheads...I don't know if others believe it or not. But here I am... Honestly speaking, when Wuhuan was finally defeated, did you personally go into battle and kill the enemy with your own hands? 』

Xiahouyuan asked this question because Cao Cao and Xiahoudun promoted many juniors from poor families to fill the vacant official positions while cleaning up some corrupt officials. Some people are indeed very good, but there are also some people who become officials and start to get carried away...

"Next..." Xia Houshang originally wanted to be tough, but looking at Xia Houyuan's eyes, he couldn't get tough, so he had to lower his head, "Youbei's victory was led by General Cao... I, I just pay attention to logistics, logistics support... 』

  『Hmm...』Xia Houyuan frowned, and pondered for a moment, 『It’s okay, logistics support, well, it’s also considered a merit... But in this way, you can’t boast of winning the first rank or something...Don’t fall into the trap...You know? 』

   Xia Houshang responded repeatedly.

  『Okay, just pay attention to yourself. By the way, I have a good thing for you," Xia Houyuan looked back at the guards in the distance again, and then turned back and said in a low voice, "When the celebration is over and you go back...the son of the elder brother...such and such like...」

  Xia Houshang's eyes widened in surprise.

  『You need to take good care of you, and practice a lot...』Xia Houyuan patted Xia Houshang on the shoulder, "This is what the big brother means, take care of yourself, in the future... I will definitely treat you badly in the future..."

  Xia Houyuan took the people away after finishing his confession.

  Looking at Xia Houyuan who came whistling like a gust of wind, and then whizzed away, Xia Hou still wanted to cry but had no tears.

  What good thing is this?

   This is clearly a hot potato!
