Chapter 43 Return to Puyang
Zhao Yu understood this.
Not to mention this era, even in modern time and space two thousand years later, such things have happened frequently. A husband blames his husband for his death, but he is disgusted by his husband's family and abandoned him and returns home. He dares not show up for fear of being ridiculed.
No wonder Cai Yan is unwilling to go back to her hometown. If she returns to her hometown and faces the ubiquitous disgusting eyes of her fellow villagers, with Cai Yan's pride, she would probably not want to?
The old servant said again: "I don't know what the secret of coming out of the palace just now is. But what the teacher said is also reasonable. So Miss, go to Guandong. I know that Cao Mengde had a close relationship with the master when he was in Luoyang in his early years. After going to Puyang, Cao Mengde would definitely not neglect."
Cai Yan clearly had a little confusion in her eyes and did not give a reply. Instead, the old servant was in charge of her.
This old servant is Cai Yong's old housekeeper for decades. He has a close relationship and can be roughly said to be a relative, so it is not beyond the reach of making decisions for her.
Zhao Yu and his old servant advised each other, and later a little maid came out of the backyard and persuaded her in a verbal manner. Cai Yan agreed.
It is said that it is better to be early than late. At that moment, the old servant and the little maid began to prepare overnight.
Cai Yan and Zhao Yu sat opposite each other in the house. Cai Yan cooked a bowl of tea for Zhao Yu, with elegant posture and full of rhythmic beauty.
After serving tea soup, Cai Yan returned to her seat and knelt down and said, "Mr. Zhao is really Cao Mengde's friend, did he really come from Puyang?"
She was a little curious: "The world is difficult now and the road is far away. How did the sir come from alone?"
Zhao Yu picked up the tea bowl. The tea soup in the bowl was rich and had ginger and garlic seasonings, which was completely different from the tea in later generations. But taking a sip, it tasted different.
He said, "I'm not intimate with Zhao Ji, I walk alone and walk very fast. As for the obstacles along the way, they are all trivial matters. Whether it's the bandits or the chaotic soldiers and the smoke of war, it doesn't matter."
Zhao Yu said calmly and the truth, but Cai Yan didn't believe it very much.
Zhao Yu laughed and reached out and pressed it on the ground. In a silent manner, a huge palm print about a meter in a radius was like a soldering iron, half a foot deep into the ground, but did not stir up even a trace of dust.
Cai Yan was shocked, covered her red lips with slender hands, and her shiny black eyes were glaring round.
"So, it turns out that sir has such a skill!"
Cai Yan felt that this was an illusion, so she couldn't help but walk out and tried it and realized that it was true.
"It's just a small path, Zhao Ji doesn't have to be surprised. If there are no means, I dare not say that I can bring Zhao Ji to Kanto."
After exposing this section lightly, Zhao Yu then changed his words and talked about other things to Cai Yan.
Anyway, Cai Yan was talking about everything from all over the world, and he was full of colorful eyes and yearning for many strange stories.
But that's probably all that Zhao Yu can talk about. After all, the books he has read are all modern books. Not many ancient things have been passed down to two thousand years later. Ci Fu, Gong Shang Jiao Hui Yu, these Zhao Yu have seven orifices and six orifices, probably not knowing anything.
As for pretending to recite a few poems "The Water of the Yellow River comes from the Sky", what is "The River goes from the East", or Qinyuanchun, it is nonsense. The humanitarian culture of an era has its own unique characteristics of the times. Taking poetry from the Tang and Song dynasties to the end of the Han Dynasty is a joke. Just like taking modern poetry to the Tang and Song dynasties, can you expect people to see it?
So I only talk about some strange stories, geography, or gods and ghosts, to solve the problem.
Early the next morning, a ox cart pulled some of the Cai family's belongings and set off.
The Cai family actually didn't even have a horse. I heard that Cai Yong used to ride a ox cart even when he went to court. Maybe it's more comfortable to sit in a ox cart than a horse cart?
All the belongings of the Cai family are a room of bamboo slips, and there are countless thousands of rolls. If they want to use a carriage to pull, they will probably not be able to hold more than a dozen. Zhao Yu simply put them in one sleeve and put them into the small world of Chaos Beads, which will save a lot of trouble.
But the old servant Cai Bo and the maid Xiao Ya were very scared. As for Cai Yan, although she was surprised, the palm print in the room had already allowed her to see Mr. Zhao's extraordinary place.
It is not difficult to leave the city. I heard that Cai Boyi's family was going to return to Chenliu's hometown, but no one stopped him.
Cai Bo was driving, and Zhao Yu sat on the other side with his carriage. Cai Yan and his maid Xiaoya were in the ox carriage.
Don’t mention it too much along the way. There are so many messy things. In the troubled times, there are endless strange things, fierce and vicious people, and there is nothing to repeat.
When the ox cart turtle climbs to Puyang, it is already winter.
It took two months along the way, and it was not easy for the ancients to walk.
However, in the past two months, Zhao Yu and Cai Yan are more and more familiar. This talented woman is usually very quiet. Occasionally, she will stay for a day and a half when she encounters a place with good scenery, or play a song in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, which is quite a bit like a mountain flowing water.
As a female intellectual, Zhao Yu can understand and appreciate it quite well.
Among them is Xiao Ya, a lively girl, who makes jokes or chats with Cai Yan casually, and she feels like she is respectful.
The old servant Cai Bo always smiles and rarely speaks.
So Puyang arrived.
At this time, Cao Mengde had already returned to Puyang.
Zhao Yu first went back to the small courtyard in the city. The housekeeper Lao Zhang and Xiaoyu's grandchildren, also known as the grandchildren who Zhao Yu bought in the market, are still here.
"Where are Wang Po and the others?"
Zhao Yu asked Lao Zhang.
Old Zhang bowed and said, "If you go back to your home, Wang Po and the others have already gone to the villa."
"Oh." Zhao Yu nodded: "How is the rest courtyard now? Also, have Guan Hai and others come?"
Lao Zhang said: "After General Xiahou Yuan left his home, he sent people to help. The other courtyard had been completed more than ten days ago. Guan Hai and more than 20 people also arrived in Puyang and had been helping in the other courtyard."
Zhao Yu knew it in his heart and said, "This is Miss Zhaoji, the daughter of Cai Boji, the great scholar in the world, as well as Cai Bo, Xiao Ya, Lao Zhang, please help arrange it."
Then he said to Cai Yan: "Zhao Ji will settle here for a while and have a rest. I will go to see Meng De first."
"Um."
Cai Yan nodded gently.
Then Zhao Yu went to the prefect's mansion.
When I went outside the mansion, I looked up and saw that the plaque had changed.
Before leaving Puyang, it was still the prefect's mansion, but after a few months of wandering around, it was now the prefect's mansion.
In other words, during this period, Cao Mengde had already taken off his captain as a governor and became a provincial governor.
It is considered a famous instrument and has a similar status.
When the guards at the gate saw Zhao Yu, someone immediately entered the mansion. Zhao Yu walked into the state palace leisurely with his hands behind his back, and happened to see Cao Mengde coming up with a smile.
"Sir, sir, I'm finally back!"
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Nanyang is not far away. I should have come back two months ago. I suddenly had a whim on the way and wanted to go to Chang'an to take a look, so I took a walk."
Cao Mengde was stunned: "Sir, I actually went to Guanzhong for a walk?"
As he said that, he entered the main hall.
There were four people sitting in the hall, all of whom were literati. Before Zhao Yu and Cao Mengde came in, they seemed to be discussing something. Seeing the two of them coming in, they stopped and looked at them together.
One of these four people recognized it as Chen Gong. The other three were also extraordinary, especially the person on the right head, who was like a pearl and a gentle glow, which was really eye-catching.
He has a tall figure and a jade crown. Even Zhao Yu secretly admires him.
The four of them sat upright. Seeing Zhao Yu coming in with Cao Mengde, Chen Gong immediately smiled and said, "I said why is the lord so anxious? It turns out that Mr. Zhao is back!"
As he said that, Chen Gong walked out of the case table and bent over and bowed: "Mr. The national sage is unparalleled, Chen Gongtai was convinced!"
Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, then smiled, and helped Chen Gong up: "Brother Gongtai still remembers it, just a joke, I almost forgot."
Chen Gong shook his head and said, "I was in the past. Think about it, just don't blame the office."
Cao Mengde smiled and said, "It's all about the past, so there's no need to say more."
So he pulled Zhao Yu's arm and said, "Come on, sir, I will introduce you to some great talents!"
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "All of you are extraordinary. Brother Meng De, please introduce it to me quickly."
Cao Mengde smiled and raised his beard and raised. He first pointed his hand at the super handsome guy in the right head: "This is Xun Yu of Yingchuan, who has the talent of Zhang Zifang!"
Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he bowed and bowed: "It turns out that it is Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo. It turns out that it is better to meet than to be famous! I am Zhao Yu, polite."
Xun Yu stood up, tidied his clothes, and bowed seriously: "Mr. Zhao is polite."
He is meticulous and upright, but he does not appear dull, just like mutton fat jade, giving people a warm and clean taste.
Then the two were named Mao Jie, whose courtesy name was Xiaoxian, and whose courtesy name was Chenliu. The other was named Zaozhi, who was from Yingchuan.
After a while of greetings, they all sat down.
Cao Mengde said: "Now, everything is beginning, and it's a lot of things. The gentleman is back..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Yu hurriedly said, "Hey, don't."
"Military and political affairs, Brother Meng De, please don't tell me, I'm lazy." Zhao Yu said lazy: "Xun Wenruo is here, Chen Gongtai is here, Mao Xiaoxian is here, Zao Ji is here, how can I use me? Wenruo is extremely talented, don't say that the government affairs of the Thirteen State of the Han Dynasty can be orderly in his hands. Chen Gongtai and others are at least the talents of the state. If you don't want to use them, why bother me? I heard that the other courtyard has just been built and I haven't had time to see it."
Xun Yu and others were stunned when they heard this.
There is actually someone who talks to Cao Mengde like this, and what is the difference between the monarch and the subject?!
But when he saw Cao Mengde was not concerned, he smiled bitterly: "My Mr. Zhao, everything is difficult at the beginning, you can't do this."
"Yes." Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Brother Meng De has extraordinary talents and perseverance. Wen has Xun Wenruo, Chen Gongtai, etc. Wu has Xiahou, Cao brothers, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, etc. As long as you grasp the direction and treat it with your back, you are afraid that it will not be able to rectify it well?"
What else can Cao Mengde do? He just smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Zhao praised it." Xun Yu smiled gently on the side: "Mr.'s ability is not as good as an ordinary person. Yu also observed Zhao Zhuang outside the city. It is really shocking and he is ashamed of himself. If Mr. Zhao does not give advice often, he will be afraid of doing something wrong."
This resonated with Chen Gong and the other three.
For example, Mao Jie, Zao Zhuang and others, although it was the first time they met Zhao Yu, the feats of Zhaozhuang outside the city could never be ignored. No matter how intelligent they were, they were all shocked by Zhaozhuang's secrets. Those secrets were secrets that shocked the whole world, and were made by Mr. Zhao alone!
A super talent is the one who is talking about.
Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled, "No, no, no, I am very close to Meng De. But I don't like to be upset and quiet, and I like to be quiet. Please bear more burdens."
