Chapter 13: The Lotus Pond Feast!

Out of the drawbridge moat, the roadside gradually became deserted, and it took miles to see a family with smoke curling up.

On a June day, the early morning sun was mild, and the sun was in the field, and the ground was full of corn fields that were growing happily, and many of the green corn stalks had already borne heavy fruits.

Millet is an annual herbaceous plant, similar to wheat, but shorter than wheat, in the Three Kingdoms period, corn is the wheat and rice of later generations, is the main crop staple food of the people.

Around the official road, the vibrant corn fields are endless, and the breeze blows like a surging green ocean.

Sigh~

Cao Chong stopped on the side of the official road, and Zhou Budo behind him also stopped and turned the horse's head.

"Cangshu, then the Lotus Pond Villa is still a few miles away from here, why do you stop here?"

"No, I'm just curious, seeing that the corn is growing everywhere, but there are not many residents, I feel a little confused."

Zhou Budo smiled, pointed to the boundless heaven and earth and said: "This is an official field, not a private field, it is still the handwriting of Sikong back then."

Cao Chong smiled, he had some impressions in his memory, the policy of Tuntian started in the first year of Jian'an, and it has been thirteen years since now!

"It's a loss to Sikong Tuntian, if it's not like this, the people around Xudu are probably going to die!" Zhou Budo sighed.

This is not alarmist, in fact, if it were not for Cao Cao Tuntian, Cao Cao's momentum would not be as good as it is today, and similarly, if it were not for Cao Cao Tuntian, the people of Xudu would be no different from the people of Luoyang.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

Under Cao Cao's rule, at least the people still have a bite to eat, and Luoyang, the land of the four wars, has long been devastated, and the people have no one out of ten.

This is the current situation of the Three Kingdoms, hundreds of years of turmoil have greatly damaged the vitality of the land of China!

Retracting his thoughts, Cao Chong galloped across the official road, and there were some people around, and several huge pastoral villas were also faintly visible, these were the ministers' manors, that is, villas.

The Three Kingdoms period was not like that of later generations, there were many entertainment projects, and the entertainment of the literati now, in addition to poems and outings, is to be in bed with his wife at night!

In their leisure time or when they give advice, scholars and doctors often bring their families here to enjoy themselves.

The notice is also the meaning of asking for leave, Han law, the official 2,000 stone should be exempted after three months of illness. "Confession" means that the emperor gave him leave and allowed him to return home with a ribbon to treat his illness.

Galloping all the way, the Qingyi River is already in sight.

June is the flood season of the Qingyi River, when the river is long, but because there is no environmental pollution, the vegetation is relatively intact, even in the flood season, the water of the Qingyi River is still crystal clear.

And the Lotus Pond Villa is already in sight.

From a distance, the Lotus Pond Villa is just a few houses, except for a huge lotus pond, there is nothing else.

But at this moment, the Lotus Pond Villa is very lively, servants and slaves are everywhere, horses are everywhere, sparsely scattered in the shade of the trees, and there are still some cars and cars.

"This Sima Fu, what a big momentum!" Cao Chong couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, and the barrenness when he came, the Lotus Pond Villa at this moment was like a peaceful and prosperous world.

Zhou Budo's eyes flickered, and he said disapprerovitically: "Sima Bada, but the prestige is still there, it seems that this Sima Fu has worked hard for the sake of his son."

It's more than painstaking work! It was so hard that Cao Chong could even ask about the taste of minced meat.

Although Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, but because of many years of foreign wars, in fact, internal materials are relatively scarce, usually two thousand stone ministers, it is good to be able to eat meat once a week, but at this moment, the lotus pond villa regards meat as the main dish.

"Let's go, let's meet this Sima Fu." Cao Chong reined in his horse and slowly rode towards the Lotus Pond Villa.

Zhou Budo and the others followed closely, especially Xu Duling's officials, whose eyes were as sharp as eagle dogs, even if there was a hint of wind and grass, I was afraid that they would know without a doubt.

"Childe is here, it really makes the humble house shine, please, please!" Sima Fu was notified by the servant's servant to wait for Cao Chong at the door early.

"Cangshu is young, so he shouldn't be an uncle!" Cao Chong got off his horse and helped Sima Fu, who saluted Cao Chong.

To say that this Sima Fu is also a talent, with a dignified appearance, dressed in a white bachelor's uniform, only a black outline on the neckline and chest, and under the bundle of hair, the whole person looks elegant and extraordinary.

Sima Fu, the word Shuda. A native of Wen County, Hanoi County (now West Wen County, Henan). He was an important minister of the Three Kingdoms Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty, the third son of Sima Fang of Jingzhao Yin of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the younger brother of Sima Yi.

About this person, the virtue is actually not bad, Sima Shi, when Sima Zhao was in power, in fact, Sima Fu did not participate in it, and Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, respected him very much, but he was not proud of it, and he still called himself Wei Chen until his death.

"Deserve this gift, deserve this gift, the wisdom of the child, the poor world Huayu, the shining sun, the moon and the stars, it is the unicorn of the commonplace!"

"Uncle Da has an overreputation, if you don't dislike it, just call me Cangshu!"

Sima Fu bowed and said, "Then it's disrespectful!"

"That's how it should be!" After speaking, the two walked into the lotus pond villa hand in hand.

Zhou Budo shook his head, he couldn't see through Cao Chong at this moment, between life and death, he had completely changed a person's character.

Where does Cao Chong usually know how to treat people, let alone treat people so skillfully.

Zhou Dufu scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, he had long been annoyed that Cao Chong and Sima Fu were chattering crookedly, and when he saw Cao Chong and Sima Fu entering, he hurriedly led Wuheng Ma into the room, and did not forget to kick the lamp seat stone at the door when he left.

With the arrival of Cao Chong, Sima Fu's private party officially began!

The banquet was not held in the house, but outdoors, by the lotus pond, there was a small canal dug by hand, which led the water of the Qingyi River, which flowed into the lotus pond, and the seats of the guests were by this small ditch.

There are lotus ponds and lotus flowers here, lush forests and bamboos, and there are clear streams and turbulent currents, reflecting the left and right, leading to the flow of the curved water, and the second place is seated. Although there is no silk bamboo orchestra, a song is enough to tell the romance.

Cao Chong and Zhou Budo's location is upstream, and the location is excellent, not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond and the Qingyi River, but also can see everyone's expressions at a glance.

Cao Chong glanced down slightly, and found that the people present were all young children, the oldest was only thirty, most of them were freshly dressed and angry, and they were full of spirit.

"Childe, please look, sitting a few feet away from Childe, it is Chen Chen, a distant relative of Chen Lin, Ziyuan. There are few sensitive talents, quite famous, a little far away from the son, Xun Lingjun's son Xun Xu, the word Manqian, quite talented, even to make Jun happy, and the one who wears Maocai's clothes is Yang Huan, the son of Yang Xiu, the main book, but he is the person next to Gongzizhi, and Gongzi has to be careful, that one is ......"

Zhou Budo acted as a consultant by Cao Chong's side, and introduced the important people who came to the scene in 1510.

Chen Chen, Xun Xu, Yang Huan......

After everyone, Chen Lin is a great Confucian in the world, and a table of "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao" almost scolded Cao Cao's three generations, but this guy is still Cao Cao's staff, and he is alive and well.

Xun Lingjun has the talent of Wang Zuo, and Cao Cao fights the world, relying on Xun Yu. As for Yang Xiu, this chicken rib man, everyone who has studied in elementary school knows that wisdom is like a demon, if it weren't for Cao Zhi's lack of strength, how could Cao Pi be Emperor Wei Wendi?

And this lotus pond banquet almost wiped out the young talents who stayed in Xudu.

Looking at these immature teenagers, Cao Chong thought of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period.

It's a pity that the deceased is like a husband! Some people will never be able to see it again!

At the beginning of the banquet, a maid stepped forward to pour wine for Cao Chong, because this was just a private meeting, and there was no bamboo orchestral music, and even the bamboo mat was only a cushion under her.

Most of the wine glasses in front of him are made of bamboo tubes, which are unpretentious but close to nature.

Cao Chong looked at the turbid wine in the cup, although this millet wine is also good, but the purity is too low, Cao Chong, who has drunk Moutai Budweiser, does not have much alcohol.

Alas~

There's no good wine here!

Sima Fu was at the top, his seat facing all the guests, and on a high platform, and no one present was taller than him except Cao Chong. The scenery off the field is unobstructed.

"Thank you for coming, your presence really makes the humble house shine, I am grateful, just drink this bottle first!" After Sima Fu finished speaking, he held the cup in his right hand, blocked himself with the long sleeve of his left hand, drank the wine bottle, and then turned it over and signaled that he had finished drinking.

"Hahaha, Shuda is polite, Xu Du has been bored recently, it's good to have a lotus pond to spend time." Yang Qi didn't know if he had Yang Xiu's talent, but the pretending technique was in the same vein, at this time he raised his head, drank it all, and finally looked at Cao Chong defiantly.

Forehead......

It seems that today's feast, I can't live in peace!

"Childe doesn't have to mind, there is no doubt by his side, but he can ensure that Childe is worry-free!" Zhou Budo looked at Cao Chong's expression, and came out at the right time at this moment.

Fear? does not exist, if he says that his son Yang Xiu is here, he may be afraid of one or two, but who is he, an unknown person of the Three Kingdoms, although there is a message in "Three Kingdoms", but most of them are still given to Yang Xiu.

I have Zhou Budo in my writing, as well as 5,000 years of profound Chinese culture, and there are evil men Zhou Dufu and a hundred soldiers in battle.

There are no 500 soldiers, and there are ghosts who are extremely wise and intelligent! Where can I keep Cao Chong? So Cao Chong looked at Yang Qi's provocation and just smiled.

"Such an unknown person, that round got Wen Zhi's shot, come, drink this cup together!" Cao Chong's voice was not loud, but unfortunately Yang Qi was not far from Cao Chong, and he heard Cao Chong's words at this time.

His face was blue and white, and his body was trembling like sifting chaff, obviously very angry, but unfortunately he only dared to stare at Cao Chong, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Cao Chong shook his head, if Yang Qi provoked him, Cao Chong would still feel that he was a little bloody, but he was just a rotten Confucian; If his face did not change, he was silent, and he endured this breath, Cao Chong felt that he was a wise man and worthy of guard.

It's a pity that he doesn't count either, he's just a little bit of a kid who has no courage and has some empty reputation!

Cao Chong is the son of Sikong, everyone knows about being favored, and those who dare to be disrespectful to Cao Chong on the bright side, if they are not people with great skills, they are looking for death!
