Chapter 130 Jia Xu's Gift
"Brother!"
Looking at Chen Fei coming towards him, Jia Mu jumped out of the car in surprise and joy.
Chen Fei nodded with a smile, but did not greet him, but bowed to Qin first:
"My nephew greets my aunt!"
Qin Shi also hurriedly greeted her son:
"You are now a dignified right general and even a marquis, how can the old woman receive this great gift? Mu'er, help me get out of the car quickly."
Chen Fei reached out to support her steadily and said with a smile:
"Mr. Wenhe is my nephew's mentor. Without him, I would not have achieved what I have today. If my aunt did not accept this beloved, wouldn't it be a blame for Chen Fei for not considering kindness, and even less about the etiquette of respecting teachers and valuing education?"
Qin shook her head helplessly and had to ask about her daughter:
"Is Yu'er in Luoyang too?"
Chen Fei helped her get out of the car and replied:
"My nephew came in a hurry this time and did not inform Yu Mei. She is still in Yangxia City at this moment. Don't worry, Yu Mei Mei is in good condition."
Qin walked slowly off the car and patted the back of his hand:
"With you taking care of Yu'er, the old woman will naturally feel at ease."
Chen Fei lowered his head slightly before he could speak to Jia Mu:
"I haven't seen you for three years. You guy is almost as tall as me. It seems that every time I send you the beef I bring, it's in your stomach."
Jia Mu patted his stomach and laughed:
"That's natural, but to be honest, the marinated jerky sent by my brother does have a unique flavor!"
Chen Fei looked down on it:
"That's just a trick. Today I have carefully prepared a dinner for you, and I promise you to bite off your tongue in one bite!"
Jia Mu held his arm:
"Let's go, my saliva has fallen!"
-
"Si!"
With a light sound, the air was filled with a rich aroma of meat.
It was midsummer, and even in the evening, the heat was still hard to cool down. Chen Fei simply placed the dinner in the open-air courtyard of Yinguan Mansion in Henan, allowing everyone to feel the cool breeze.
The dinner is a standard hot pot barbecue mode, but considering the taste of Qin, her pot is particularly light and mainly delicious and nourishing.
While the soup was still boiling, Chen Fei raised his wine glass:
"Auntie is here, my nephew will give you a cup first."
(Travel) Henan Yin Yangyuan, two commanders Chen Dao, Xu Huang, Xu Shu, Chu Mao, Guo Shou, Chen Feng and other accompanying officials also raised their glasses.
The Qin family was not born in a high school. Jia Xu had been living in the court for many years and had never taken her to attend a formal banquet. Therefore, when he saw others toasting, he was at a loss for a moment.
Jia Mu couldn't help but speak:
"Brother, my mother never drinks..."
Chen Fei smiled and said:
"Of course I know that the one on my aunt's desk was just sour plum soup."
Qin felt relieved and quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip:
"It took five months to go from Chang'an. The court fought with the rebels many times, and countless casualties along the way. The old woman was frightened every day, fearing that her family's life would not be safe. Tianxing Yunlong sent someone to help him, and this time she was shocked and returned to Luoyang."
Chen Fei drank the glass of Chinese American wine in one go:
"It's a pity that just now I picked up my aunt, and the Hongnong Mountain Road collapsed. Otherwise, I would have to send reinforcements to welcome the court to return to Luoyang. Come on, these are the newly roasted lamb legs, seasonings and dipping sauces that I have improved myself. I might as well try them all to see if they are different from the roasted lamb in Liangzhou."
A servant held a tray and cut it off the golden lamb legs with a sharp knife, and then distributed it to everyone participating in the banquet.
Qin was still tasting, Jia Mu had already eaten two slices in a row, and then praised him repeatedly:
"Brother, these lamb legs are so fragrant!"
Seeing his feasting look, Chen Fei couldn't help laughing:
"When I first met you, I thought you had grown up to be an adult, but now it seems that you are still that young boy!"
Qin looked at her son in a doting way, but she still complained:
"Eat slowly, don't make your mouth full of oil! Alas!"
If it weren't for the fact that she and Jia Mu were several meters apart, she would have wiped the oil stains on her son's face...
At this time, the soup base of the hot pot had already been boiled, and a maid carefully served everyone the soup and served dishes, and the dinner officially began.
While having dinner with them, Chen Fei chatted about the changes in the court and the world over the past few years. Everyone was very moved.
Even Qin sighed:
"I heard... Li Jue and Guo Si bullied the emperor in every way, and even had a full meal became a problem. However, the officials and officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Occasionally, someone spoke up for justice, and the two thieves killed him at will..."
Jia Mu nodded while gnawing on the sheep bones:
"Yes, if my brother hadn't asked someone to send meat every time he asked someone to send me food, His Majesty would have been starved to death by the bastard Li Jue!"
Yang Yuan also sighed:
"We often hear in Henan that the evils done by the two thieves Li and Guo are far more harmful than Dong Zhuo. They do not understand the way of governing the country, but only know how to loot the places, causing the land of the Three Auxiliary to almost become hell on earth. In the past two years, the people of Guanzhong have not been able to bear to be harsh in power, and have fled to Henan and the Central Plains counties, which have not only hundreds of thousands!"
Chen Dao just took a sip of wine, cleared his throat, and said:
"What Yang Fujun said is that if Junhou had not been to the west, except for the few counties in the east, Henan would probably still be as peaceful as the counties in Guanzhong."
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Chen Dao's changes.
Just a year ago, this young man still looked rebellious, but now he knows how to flatter him?
Xu Huang, who was sitting not far away, lowered his eyes, his expression slightly complicated.
Xu Shu, who had been silent, keenly noticed his emotional changes and asked in a low voice:
"Emperor Xu, what are you worried about?"
Although the surname is Xu, Xu Huang, who has no friendship with him, quickly shook his head:
"I was just moved when I heard what Yang Fujun and Chen Duwei said. Xu's hometown is in Hedong, and there have been many turmoils over the years. Otherwise... I would not have left the county government and become a bandit."
Xu Shu nodded silently and said:
"If the court hadn't been unclear and the local government was in chaos, why would I have killed people for my friends and then taken refuge in the world?"
Shen Biao, who also had the experience of becoming a bandit, looked worried, but he really couldn't speak, so he had to bury his head and eat meat and drink.
After all, he was over forty years old and was a woman again. Qin stopped chopsticks after eating some.
Chen Fei asked politely:
"I'm afraid my aunt didn't eat well, right? Do you want to add some more dishes?"
Qin quickly waved his hand:
"In the past few years, I have eaten the most tonight. The old woman just suddenly wondered, I don't know if my grandson... is it safe now?"
"Auntie, don't worry too much. Mr. Wenhe is full of wisdom and tricks. Few people in the world can match it. Moreover, Zhang Ji and Duan Wei have always had contacts with him and have the same feelings as fellow villagers, so they will never harm him. Auntie, please feel free to have a meal!"
Chen Fei was not worried about that old fox Jia Xu at all, let alone... Guo Jia, the little fox, is also by his side!
Qin felt a little relieved, raised his chopsticks and ate a few more bites, and then remembered another thing:
"Oh, this time I returned to Luoyang, my husband also entrusted the Cai clan, but the old woman completely forgot!"
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment:
"What Cai family?"
Qin said with regret:
"It is the family of Cai Yong, a great scholar in the Central Plains, Cai Boji! After he was killed by Wang Yun, two clan brothers and a pair of daughters stayed in Chang'an. During this trip, my uncle specially asked the old woman to come with him, and said it would be of great use to you..."
A lightning flashed suddenly in Chen Fei's mind:
"A pair of daughters? Could it be... Cai Wenji?"
Qin shook his head and rejected:
"It's not Wen Ji, but his eldest daughter is Cai Yan and his small name is Zhao Ji. I have talked to the old woman these days. She is not only handsome, but also well-educated and proficient in classics. I heard that she also wrote good calligraphy, which is very good at her father."
Chen Fei opened his mouth:
"I remember... Didn't Cai Yong's daughter get married?"
Qin continued to shake her head:
"Cai Yong was brutally killed. As a daughter, of course she had to keep mourning for three years. Although the filial piety period has just expired, if she gets married in a hurry, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
Chen Fei was silent for a moment, and he suddenly understood Jia Xu's intention.
Although Cai Yong was only a small official of 600 stones in the end, his reputation in the world was a top-notch existence!
When he was in his thirties, he was ordered to continue writing the "Dongguan Han Records" in the history of the Han Dynasty. At that time, officials who continued to write with him, including Ma Riyi, Yang Biao, and Lu Zhi, were all famous people.
In addition, he also carried out a collation of the Xiping Stone Sutra with Yang Biao's father, Yang Xiu's grandfather, Yang Ci and others. People like Chen Fei would probably never understand what a scripture engraved on a stone meant to the Han Dynasty court.
It took nearly ten years to proofread the Xiping Stone Classics, and of course the impact was huge. In addition, Cai Yong himself is already a famous calligrapher all over the world, so there were more than a thousand cars and the roads were blocked every day. This was the first time in history that the official Confucian classics was promulgated in the name of the government. This means that all scholars who want to become officials must learn this version, otherwise they will definitely be laughed at.
And since you have learned this version of the classic, you can understand that you are even half a student of Cai Yong and others.
At that time, Cai Yong, Yang Ci, Ma Riyi and others were not only famous all over the world, but also had disciples and disciples all over the world. Later, no matter whether Cai Yong took refuge in Jiangdong or exiled to Shuofang, there were always people taking care of him and he would not die in a foreign land. This may not be the reason.
Even after Dong Zhuo came to power, he also had to borrow his reputation. After Wang Yun killed Cai Yong, he had a big drop in the court and the country, which was enough to reflect Cai Yong's influence.
Jia Xu's intentions have become very obvious.
