Chapter 5: The two elders of Huangfu (this chapter is free)

In May, the second year of Jianning (169 AD).

Tuantou, the name of the hill behind Huangfu Jianting Courtyard, is named after the flat and round top of the mountain.

In May, the trees in the mountains have grown tender green branches, and the land of Xiliang has also been replaced with green clothes, showing vitality everywhere. The afterglow of the sunset shines, and the top of Tuantou Mountain is golden. Although it is almost early summer, in the evening, Wating Fort located in the northwest still has a hint of chill.

On the top of the mountain, a young man in white was sitting upright on a protruding hanging rock. The mountain wind blew the corner of the boy's clothes, making a "wow, whistle" sound, and the boy on the stone didn't notice it at all. He was watching the setting sun in the sky with concentration. In his eyes, there was a world of clouds, clouds, and mysterious impermanence.

Not far from the boy, a fiery red lightning marten quietly lay on the rocks, and a pair of beautiful sky blue eyes looked at the boy without blinking. The sunset was setting, and the distant mountains gradually became hazy. This man and the marten stayed on the protruding hanging rocks, the hills, trees, and the afterglow of the sunset formed a wonderful picture.

"Diaoer, what do you think is the end of the sunset?" The young man in white-clothed looked at the lightning mink in front of him, and a warm feeling appeared on his lazy face, and said in infinite loneliness.

After hearing this, the Lightning Mink flashed a few times, and looked at the boy with some confusion, not knowing whether it understood it. The thick and long and beautiful tail shook twice, and then lay there quietly.

"Hey!" the boy sighed and said angrily and amusedly: "You guy will wag your tail! If you ask you, you will wag your tail twice, and you will not have anything else!"

"Squeak, squeak" Lightning Diao hummed twice, suddenly jumped from the ground and jumped onto the boy's shoulder. Her furry tail rubbed against the boy's handsome face as if it was not able to answer the boy's questions, and she was a little embarrassed, trying her best to please the boy.

"I have been in this world for more than a year, and I don't know what the outside world looks like!" The young man sighed and said to himself.

This white-shirted boy was Huangfu Jian who traveled through time. Over the past year, he has gradually become accustomed to the young master of "Nanyuan". Even his daily behavior is not much different from other people of the same year. He is just too old and calm, and is completely different from the previous Huangfu Jian.

Huangfu Jian knew that the troubled times were coming, and if he wanted to survive in this troubled times, he had to have the ability to settle down. So he did not miss a little time and worked hard to learn everything, so he could integrate into this strange world as soon as possible.

For more than a year, Huangfu Jian usually read and read with his uncle Huangfu Song in the morning. He also accompanied him two sons, Huangfu Song, whose eldest brother Huangfu Hong's name was Jianshou and his second brother Huangfu Li. It is said that one dragon gave birth to nine sons, and each one was different, so this is true.

The eldest brother Huangfu Hong is seventeen years old this year. He is born with a handsome face. He is gentle and elegant, and he is good at literary affairs. He looks more like his uncle Huangfu Song. He is just a little bit slow, which makes Huangfu Jian very upset.

The second brother Huangfu Li is also fifteen years old. His skin is slightly dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is majestic. He does not love scriptures, is keen on military writing and fighting strategies, and dances with guns and sticks. He completely inherits the warlike traditions of the Huangfu family's ancestors and has many common languages ​​with Huangfu Jian.

In the afternoon, as long as the weather permits, Huangfu Jian will spend the top of this tuantou mountain. In order to ensure the safety of the young master, the eight generals elected, Cheng Yin personally led thirty guards to guard Huangfu Jian every day. In the long run, the wild beasts, poisonous snakes and the like on the mountain were almost killed by these killing guys. The fragrance of fresh barbecue floated from time to time in Huangfu Jian's pavilion.

Huangfu Jian repeats the training courses of the agents in his previous life on the mountain every day, running with loads, climbing rocks with bare hands, and not giving up until he is exhausted. He is trying every means to improve the muscles and bones of this body and develop the huge potential of this body.

When he was tired of training, Huangfu Jian practiced the mysterious breathing method of his previous life. In more than a year, Huangfu Jian's spiritual consciousness has been greatly enhanced. Now even if he sits on this hanging rock, the surrounding wind and movements cannot hide his keen spiritual consciousness.

Just as Huangfu Jian was pondering, the eight generals came over quickly and said with a bow: "Young master, the old general is back. Lord Zhao told you to go there quickly."

"Oh! Grandpa is back? Let's go here!" Huangfu Jian was still very excited when he heard that his grandfather Huangfu Gui was back. Although he was no longer the original Huangfu Jian, he didn't know whether it was because of this body or that he had admired this famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty for a long time. At this moment, he was eager to see this legendary old man.

The hanging rock more than ten feet high, Huangfu Jian "scrolled down like a spirit monkey, and they had already stepped on a smooth path on the mountain. Huangfu Jian trotted all the way, walking as fast as flying, and the lightning mink was extremely excited, and he ran left and right beside him, leaving behind fiery red afterimages.

The candidate followed closely with thirty guards, for fear of losing the young master again. In more than a year, Huangfu Jian ran much faster, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for these guards to keep up with Huangfu Jian's footsteps.

Huangfu Jian soon arrived at the main hall of "Nanyuan". The building here is large in scale and magnificent in appearance, giving people a sense of pressure. The main frame of the hall is made of precious sandalwood, and a strange fragrance is emitted in the air, which not only can make people excited, but also can drive away mosquitoes.

Before entering the main hall, Huangfu Jian saw two strange old men, both tall and straight, but the old man walking in front looked even older, with his head and beard and white hair. Huangfu Jian could feel the old man's invisible murderous aura and a faint bloody body. Huangfu Jian knew that only those who walked out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood would have such momentum.

Another old man looked a little thin, but he was more elegant and looked more amiable. But Huangfu Jian fell in love with the old man with a hint of murderous aura walking in front of him at first sight. Perhaps it was because of the same kind, or because of his bloodline, he was a little obsessed with the smell emitted by the old man, and unconsciously wanted to get close to him.

These two old men are Huangfu Gui, known as Huangfu Shuangxiong, and Huangfu Jie's brothers. The old man walking in front is Huangfu Jian's grandfather, Huangfu Gui, General of Liao, and the old man behind is Huangfu Jian's grandfather, Huangfu Jie, the prefect of Yanmen, and the current patriarch of the Huangfu family.

Huangfu Jian stood there in a daze, his body as if he was fixed by something. His big black eyes looked straight at the old man in front of him. His feet could no longer move, and the corners of his mouth slightly opened, and after a while he said, "Grandpa!" The tears in his eyes fell like rain.

The old man took two steps, stepped forward and held Huangfu Jian's tall body in his arms. His pair of vicissitudes of life kept stroking Huangfu Jian's little head. Until he carefully looked through Huangfu Jian's whole body, he said tremblingly: "Jian'er, my Jian'er, when you see you are fine, grandpa will feel relieved!"

"Jian'er, greeting grandpa!" Huangfu Jian did not expect that he would have such a big reaction in this moment. This should be the reason for his bloodline. After a moment, Huangfu Jian calmed down and greeted the old man again.

"Ha, ha, Jian'er is much more sensible than before, get up quickly!" The old man helped Huangfu Jian up with a look of relief on his face.

"This is your grandfather, Jian'er will not forget it!" The old man Huangfu Gui pointed to the old man behind him and said to Huangfu Jian.

Even if the original Huangfu Jian could not recognize his grandfather Huangfu Jie, the old man would not find it strange. The two old brothers were away all year round and had a rare time together. The original Huangfu Jian had only seen Huangfu Jie a few times, and it was when he was very young.

"Jian'er, greeting grandpa!" Huangfu Jian walked to the grandpa Huangfu Jie in a regular manner and knocked three times. Over the past year, he had received careful guidance from his uncle Huangfu Song, and he had already integrated into the family and became one of them.

"What a good boy. He has grown so tall. Get up quickly, get up quickly!" When the old man Huangfu Jie saw that there were successors in his brother, he was even more happy for him.

That night, a banquet was held in the "Nanyuan". Grandpa Huangfu Gui and grandpa Huangfu Jie were the best. Uncle Huangfu Song and several elders of the clan were accompanied by the officials. The brothers Huangfu Hong and Huangfu Li also came to join in the fun.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, with a little drunkenness, the old man Huang Fu Gui showed a hint of loneliness after the lively momentum, and said in a deep voice: "I and my elder brother retired from the officialdom this time. I will not ask about military and national affairs anymore. All the affairs in the clan will be left to the elder brother. I will take Jian'er to the Pegasus Ranch and spend the rest of my life there."

"But my Huangfu family has always been a great family, and it is indispensable for the backbone, and there must be no one in the court for a day. Yizhen, please be prepared to become an official!"

There are only a thousand-year-old family, but no thousand-year-old dynasty. The aristocratic families can maintain their lasting for thousands of years and have their own way of dealing with the world. Take the Huangfu family for example. The direct line of the clan will become an official at a certain age. The division of labor among the sidelines is also clear. Some people operate the family's ancestral business, while others go out to make a living and spread out their branches.

The family is divided into three parts, supporting each other and focusing on each other. Even if there is a disaster of extermination, it can still leave a seed and you can climb a mountain and make a comeback in the future.

With the family's reputation, fame and capital as the foundation, the direct lineage has risen to the top. After becoming an official, the direct lineage began to support the family, and the two complement each other. The family is like a big tree with deep roots and lush leaves. The direct line is the trunk, the next line is the branches, and the roots are the roots, and either of them is indispensable.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, aristocratic families emerged. They not only controlled the government affairs, but also controlled the local politics and economy, seriously weakening the central government's control over the local area. It was precisely because of the rise of aristocratic politics that the foundation of the Han Dynasty was cut off, which led to the demise of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years.

"What the second grandfather said is that Yi Zhen understands. Yi Zhen wants to tell the two grandfathers that the emperor will enlist me as a counselor. When everything in the family is handled, Yi Zhen will go to the post. He will never let the Huangfu family fall in my hands." The years of military life have made the old man stand out without being angry and powerful. Huangfu Song is also timid and cautious in front of the old man.

"It's so great, I'll leave you the important task of the prosperity of the family!" After the veteran general Huangfu Gui said, his face showed fatigue.

Huangfu Jian sat in the table without saying a word, but just listened quietly, with a look of contemplation on his face.
