MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 24 First time with Cao Cao
Chapter 24 and Cao Cao's first time
Fei dived into the yard and dug out the bamboo slips that had been buried for two days. This was what he did as a precaution.
"I hope I can pass the test..."
Fei Qian wiped off the soil on the bamboo slips, looked at the layers of bamboo slips that had been eroded, and thought to himself, "Am I the first person to forge fakes? There should be no fakes in the Three Kingdoms now, right?"
Fei Qian gently held these tortured bamboo slips that were first polished, then soaked in acid water, exposed to the sun and fire, and buried deep in the ground, and walked into the room.
Today is one of the opportunities for Fei Qian, a named disciple, to visit the Cai Mansion twice a month. He wants to hand over this forged bamboo slip to Cai Yong. If he can pass this test, it means that he accidentally wrote it before. Letters and numbers have provenance.
After reprocessing the bamboo slips, Fei Qian felt that it was almost done, at least in his eyes, he couldn't see any flaws.
Fei Qian once again calculated the whole link—the selected one itself was an ancient bamboo, which he dismantled from another ancient fragment, and after a series of treatments, it now looks dilapidated. The only fly in the ointment is that it still has It smelled a little bit earthy, but it was acceptable to cooperate with Fei Qian's excuse.
So be it, just this one time, it's too troublesome. There is nothing wrong with telling a lie once and then using a thousand lies to cover it up.
Well, just like that, Fei Qian carefully put the bamboo slips into a brocade box, and walked towards Cai's mansion with the brocade box.
********************
In the Cai Mansion, Cai Yong was chatting happily with Cao Cao.
For Cao Cao, a direct disciple, Cai Yong actually feels that it is not bad. At least in his opinion, Cao Cao is still a good young man of the Eastern Han Dynasty with ideals, ambitions, integrity and culture.
Different from Fei Qian's so-called registered disciples, Cao Cao is Cai Yong's true personal heir. To put it simply, Cao Cao can use the name of Cai Yong for external publicity, and he can also use the name of Cai Yong when encountering things. As a teacher, Cai Yong is obliged to help, but Fei Qian can't, Fei Qian only You can say "I learned from Cai Yong" but not "I learned from Cai Yong". When I am in trouble, the teacher can help or not according to the situation.
Personal disciples can inherit the mantle, and registered disciples only have this person.
There has been a difference since ancient times.
After chatting for a while, Cai Yong saw that Cao Cao seemed to be worried all the time, so he couldn't help asking, "What's bothering Meng De? Why is he so worried?"
Cao Cao sighed: "The current situation is difficult, the government and the people are in turmoil, and I am just worried."-meaning that now the government and the people are fighting fiercely for power, I am in trouble, I can't handle it, and I feel irritable.
Unfortunately, Cai Yong failed to hear Cao Cao's subtext. Cai Yong said very sincerely: "Meng De, it is enough for you to have this heart, and relax, there are still Zishi and Wen Xian sitting in the town, although the emperor is young, there should be no serious problems."—Cai Yong is comforting Cao Cao, God If it collapses, there will be a tall man like Wang Yun and Yang Biao standing on top of it, so don't worry about it.
Cao Cao said: "It's a matter of eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king. Now that Dong Zhongying, Ding Jianyang and Chen Bing are here, they will stay for a long time, and they may change."——I am still a state official here, and now Dong Zhuo and Dingyuan are all outside the city. Yes, I don't know how long I can be an official.
Cai Yong is also an honest gentleman. After listening to Cao Cao's words, he also felt that it made sense, so he said: "Meng De's words are reasonable, but this is a military matter. I will write a handwritten letter and write it first, and I will mention a few points."
Cao Cao secretly sighed, my teacher is good at everything, but he is too rigid. If a few words with Yang Biao can make Dong Zhuo Dingyuan retreat, then why should I come to you?
However, he couldn’t speak directly, so Cao Cao had no choice but to insinuate again: “The teacher is well-known all over the country. At the moment when the government and the public are in trouble, we urgently need the help of the teacher to stabilize people’s hearts.”—You have such a great reputation, come out and take a look. , Also support me as a disciple.
Cai Yong shook his head and said: "The old man is dying, time is running out, why miss the position and worry about the case?" I don't even want to be a servant, let alone any bigger official position.
Speaking of this, Cao Cao has nothing to do, he can't tie Cai Yong to become an official, right? So he changed the subject and said: "I recently got a volume of ancient chapters. Cao Cao learned that his younger sister was depressed recently, so he brought it with him. Take your worries away."
Cai Yong was about to resign, when a servant stood with his hands down in the hall and handed him a famous badge, saying that Fei Qian was coming to see him.
The words were finished, and the gifts were given. Although the expected effect was not achieved, this was the only way to do it for the time being. When someone else came, Cao Cao took the opportunity to leave.
Cao Cao came out of the Cai Mansion, and saw Fei Qian who was waiting at the side, and suddenly remembered that he was Cai Yong's new registered disciple, so he went up to say hello.
Fei Qian never expected to run into Cao Cao here, and greeted me with a smile, and hurriedly saluted Cao Cao.
This is the first time Fei Qian has seen Cao Cao so close. I didn't expect Cao Cao to be quite short, probably only about 1.6 meters, with a square face and slender eyebrows. When he smiled, he could only see a line, but his eyes could not be seen. Fei Qian only dared to scan briefly, but didn't dare to take a closer look. After all, it is very impolite to stare at people in this era.
Cao Cao took a few steps forward, helped Fei Qian up, held Fei Qian's hand, and patted it lightly in his hand, smiling like a big bad wolf: "But the new disciple, Fei Qian, Fei Ziyuan? He has been famous for a long time, I don't want to get it today. See you, you really are a good-looking talent!"
If it wasn’t for Fei Qian’s long experience in the workplace, but a novice in the workplace, it is estimated that Cao Cao’s behavior will be moved to tears in all likelihood—my name can be heard and remembered by the central bosses , What an honor this is!
It's a pity that Fei Qian has been fried by the big frying pan of the workplace many times in the future, and he has considerable immunity to this heat.
But the boss is acting, the one who exposes it is a fool.
So Fei Qian also showed a grateful and overwhelmed look.
Cao Cao held hands again, and eagerly asked a few questions, nothing more than how is life these days? What are you doing? is there any problem?
Fei Qian replied respectfully, while slandering in his heart that Chinese culture has a long history. These bigwigs have understood the three low-level questions so early. Seeing Cao Cao's questions are so smooth, it is estimated that he did not do it twice at once. This time, I am proficient in business.
When he learned that Fei Qian had come to ask Cai Yong about ancient books, Cao Cao nodded and let Fei Qian enter Cai's mansion without delaying Fei Qian's time.
But after Fei Qian took two steps, Cao Cao called Fei Qian to stop again, and said with a smile: "Since I was young, I have also loved ancient books. I heard that Ziyuan just mentioned the new fragments. I am so anxious that I can't bear it. Please read it and feast your eyes." ?”
Of course this kind of request could not be refused, so Fei Qian asked the servant to open the brocade box for Cao Cao to have a look.
Cao Cao took a piece lightly, looked at it from side to side, and held it under the sun to take a picture.
Fei Qian lowered his head, his heart was pounding. Cao Cao seemed to have done digging ancient tombs in history, so he shouldn’t be able to see any problems, right?
