Chapter 13: Chen Yuan's Resentment
Zhao Yunchong waved his hand behind him: "Don't be nervous, everyone, it's a friend!" β
"Zilong, this person is Chen Dao, a famous ranger in Runan." Zhao Man whispered: "I heard that it is quite horizontal, no one is convinced, and I often fight with the Yuan family." β
Zhao Yun nodded, signaling that he knew.
"It turned out to be Uncle Zhi's brother," he beat his horse out: "I have long heard that Runan Chen to Chen Shuzhi is a man, but I didn't have the opportunity to meet, and today I got what I wanted." β
At the same time, he carefully looked at this buddy who was more trusted by Liu Bei than himself in history, and he looked like a tiger with a bear's waist, wide enough to cover himself.
In terms of physiognomy, he shows a stability far beyond his peers, his eyes are bright, but he is not tall, he should be an adult, and he is a little shorter than himself.
"I'm afraid it's not a good reputation!" Chen Zhi smiled bitterly: "I also sent someone to meet Zilong, you are a divine dragon without seeing the tail." β
"Uncle, brother, wait a minute!" Zhao Yun turned around and ordered: "Zhao Long, take someone to clear the tail, and I'll have a good chat with my uncle and brother today." β
"Brother Zilong is a little slower," Chen Zhi smiled, "You mean those little miscellaneous fish of the Yuan family, right?" I have long been led away by my people. β
"Oh?" Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted.
I couldn't help but be secretly surprised in my heart, no wonder I could be valued by Liu Xuande, and I did things without leakage.
"Could it be that Uncle Zhige is going to talk to Yun on the horse?" He laughed and turned his head and ordered, "Take out the food and drink, and we'll rest here." β
"Brother Shunqing, uncle is very polite!" Seeing Zhao Man, Chen didn't have time to dismount, and arched his hand: "You don't think you're a barbaric and unreasonable ranger, right?" That's just for outsiders. β
Zhao Man smiled embarrassedly and touched the back of his head: "Why are you so sour?" I'm seventeen this year, so you can just call me Aman, call him Zilong. β
The cloth spread on the ground was filled with various snacks in a short time, mainly meat.
"Uncle and brother, you're welcome, these are the mountain goods we have been hunting for a few days." Zhao Yun said, grabbing a lump of braised wild boar: "The seasonings are all brought from Yan Zhao's flavor." β
Two years ago, the Zhao family in Jiaozhou finally brought the pepper he had dreamed of.
It's a pity that Zhang Shuang took people to the Americas, but there has been no news so far, and I don't know if he can get peppers, corn, sweet potatoes and other crops from the Americas.
In my previous life, when I was an undergraduate, I had a roommate who was from Sichuan, and under his influence, the whole dormitory fell in love with chili peppers.
Every time, the hot sauce that the buddy brought from his hometown became a sought-after item for the dormitory brothers, and it was eaten in less than a day.
On weekdays, when everyone has time to have dinner, they will go to the small hot pot on the street outside Peking University to snack on.
Most of Zhao Zilong's part-time money as a tutor was spent on it.
Seeing that the clan brother was stunned, Zhao Man's arm touched: "Zilong, people came to visit you on purpose." β
"Oh, I'm sorry, my uncle looks like a friend of mine." Zhao Yun greeted with a smile: "Eat, you're welcome." β
Yanzhao-style braised vegetables are a must, and everyone who comes to eat must pack some back when they leave.
What interests everyone the most is not the marinated dish itself, but the accompanying dipping sauce, pepper and salt.
In the Han Dynasty, except for the royal family, few people could afford to consume pepper, which was more expensive than gold.
At this time, the Han family had already imported pepper from overseas.
Shipping has not flourished, imported pepper has to go through the Silk Road, camel bells ring, business travel is in a hurry, thousands of miles of mountains, nine deaths, transportation costs are higher, and pepper is more valuable.
The term pepper house was popular from the Han Dynasty and is generally used to refer to the palace of the concubine, in which the pepper is pepper.
The emperor decorated the palace for the concubine and painted the interior walls with pepper surface, so it was called the pepper room.
Why pepper noodles? Because it's fragrant, and it's precious. It must be valuable enough, otherwise it is not qualified to smear the nest of the emperor and his wife.
As for refined salt, in addition to the Zhao family's salt farm, the salt from other houses is not pure in color, and there are many impurities, and the black-hearted merchants still mix sand in it, and the Zhao family's salt is sufficient and never adulterated.
Chen Zhi is a very self-disciplined person, with strong self-control.
Smelling the aroma of pepper, I can't help but squirm in the Adam's apple.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Chen Zhi is not a person who twists, he grabbed a lump of wild boar meat and ate it with dipping sauce.
The people he brought were naturally greeted by Zhao Long and others.
In fact, as a part of the Zhao family, they will not be bad in life, and there are a lot of marinated vegetables and dipping sauces.
The Chen family had mixed feelings for a while, and rich people could go to Yanzhao to eat it once or twice a year, and they didn't expect that they and others could taste it casually.
Nima, even the servants eat better than the Runan Hao family, how rich the Zhao family is.
Although there is a saying that food does not sleep and does not speak, and it is not a proper meal, everyone is a young person, gossiping while eating.
Zhao Yun himself has traveled to a lot of places, although they are all from the horse, and the soul comes from two thousand years later, but the accumulation is beyond the reach of even the great Confucians, how can it be compared to Chen Zhi?
Not to mention him, Xu Shu and Zhao Man have long been fans of Zilong, and they will pestering to tell stories whenever they have free time.
At this time, Chen Zhi never had the height of later, and his footprints had not yet been out of Pingyu, and the entire Runan County had not been traveled.
Zhao Yun is not in a hurry anyway, since you came quietly, you must have something to do with me, then blow it and see if you don't say it.
"My lord, the longer I spend with you, the more I can feel your knowledge." Xu Shu himself was not hungry, and he stopped eating twice, and now he has a bad appetite.
"It's a pity that I couldn't meet the lord earlier, and I was just a fool in Yingchuan Academy."
The way he shook his head caused Zhao Man to laugh.
"Shall I tell my father-in-law this?" Zhao Yun glanced at him: "And Mr. Shuijing, let's see what they think, what does Yuan Zhi think?" β
"Lord, it's wrong, isn't it okay to be wrong?" Xu Shu also played Lai: "Anyway, one is your father-in-law and the other is a gentleman, and when the time comes, Shu will deny it." β
Zhao Man finally couldn't help it, he laughed out loud, choked on what he ate in his throat, and coughed incessantly.
Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard Xu Shu call the lord, and when he saw that they had such a harmonious relationship, he couldn't help but be envious.
I've never seen such a lord and subordinates, why can't I touch it?
"Zilong," Chen Zhi said solemnly: "To this day, I have something important to come to look for you." β
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Long and them not far away.
It is located at the confluence of two small hills, and when it rains, water comes down from the mountains and rushes into a ditch.
It's been a long time since it's rained, and the place where everyone rests was originally a waterhole, but it's long since dried up.
Everyone stood guard on both sides, and not far away there were people driving horses and grazing, and farther away, there were tribes secretly on guard.
"Uncle and brother, if you have something, you might as well talk about it here!" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up: "These are Yun's brothers." β
"Does Zilong know the relationship between the Chen family and the Yuan family in Runan?" Chen Zhi asked, and when he saw that the other party shook his head, he began to speak.
The origin of the Yuan surname is mainly derived from the surname of the concubine, after the ancient emperor Yu Shun.
According to legend, Shun, one of the five emperors of ancient times, is a descendant of Zhuan, and he got the surname Yao because he was born in Yaoxu.
He also lived in the Fu River, so his descendants have the surname of the concubine.
Among the descendants with the surname Concubine is Hu Gongman, who was named Chen Hou after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, and the 11th grandson of Chen Hu Gongfu has a name Zhu.
This person's character Bo Zhan, his grandson Tao Tu, with his grandfather's character life, called the Zhi family, the hereditary Chen State Shangqing in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Because the characters of Yuan at that time were the same as the words Yuan, Yuan, 榬, ζΊ, and Yuan, the later descendants took these 6 characters as their surnames.
Later, there was the Yuan family, which was known as the Yuan family in history, and derived the Yuan family of Runan and the Yuan family of Chen County.
By the time of Chen Mingong, the Chen State was destroyed by Chu, and the descendants of the Chen State after the death of the country took the original country name as their surname, so they had the surname Chen.
The surname Chen in Yuzhou is a big family, and the Yingchuan Chen family is one of the best, and Chen Qun is from that family.
His grandfather Chen Yu, together with his fellow Yi Zhong Hao, Xun Shu, Han Shao, etc., are famous for their high and virtuous deeds, and are collectively known as the four chiefs of Yingchuan.
Nowadays, Chen Ji, Chen Chen, and Chen Qi are famous all over the world, and their descendants Chen Qun and Chen Deng are young and famous.
Comparatively speaking, the Chen family in Runan is weaker, and since the Han Dynasty, there are no famous figures.
Whether it is the Chen family or the Yuan family, it is said that everyone is a descendant of Hu Gongman, and they should love each other.
It's a pity that everyone says that they are Hu Gongman's direct family, and they are entangled in this issue.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Yangwu Chen family produced a remarkable figure, the prime minister offered Hou Chen Ping, and the Yuan family died down.
Later, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty was destroyed, and after Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuping was all over the world, the Yangwu Chen family had long been annihilated in the long river of history.
The Yuan family in Runan was from Yuan An Shixing, and the officials were Sikong and Situ, and Anzi Yuan Chang and Yuan Jing were all Sikong.
Jingzi Yuan Tang is Sikong and Taiwei, Tangzi Yuan Feng is also to Sikong, and his younger brother Yuan Kui is also to Sangong and Taifu.
There are as many as five people in the position of the third prince in the fourth world, so it is called the third prince of the fourth world.
Everyone is in Runan County, and they are always fighting with each other.
Chen Dao's family has been poor since childhood, and there are only a few acres of thin fields outside the city, which can never be compared with the Yuan family, which is powerful all over the world.
On weekdays, he had to fight with his cousins to resist the pressure from the Yuan family.
Zhao Yun's eyebrows condensed into Sichuan characters: "Uncle Zhi, Brother Shunqing's father is now Taishou." Previously, you also knew that many officials were in collusion with the Yuan family and controlled the Taishou Mansion. β
"Now, Yan Xingong is fully presiding, and he needs a young man like Uncle Zhizhi to assist. I believe that with my brother's talent and force, there should be a place for it. β
"Since I was a child, my family was poor and I didn't read much." Chen Zhi shook his head: "I play with knives and guns on weekdays, but I have learned some superficial kung fu passed down from my ancestors, how can I get into the eyes of the Lord Taishou?" β
Zhao Yun never thought that he was the protagonist of this era, and when the tiger's body was shocked, he came from all directions.
Whether it is Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, or Xu Shu in front of him, they are all intentional friends on weekdays, and they have achieved results in the past three years.
The Xun family's attention is an unexpected joy.
He would not think that just relying on Xun Ni's relationship with himself could tie the Xun family to his boat.
For the sake of the survival of the family, the big family will not put all their eggs in one basket.
If there is no appearance of his own, Xun You and Xun Yu will assist Cao Mengde, and Xun Chen will be in Yuan Shao's lineup.
It can be said that in their eyes, the family is the first, and with different masters, it is just a bet that whoever wins the family can continue to prosper smoothly.
Chen Dao in front of him is just meeting for the first time, and he has a deep relationship, how can he not hug his uncle's thigh but follow him?
And what does the other party mean by that?
For a while, the scene was a little cold, and even Zhao Man, who didn't use his brains much, felt that the atmosphere was solemn.
Xu Shu looked at Chen Dao with deep meaning, and then looked at his lord, and he was puzzled.
The old grievances between the Yuan family and the Chen family are impossible, and it is impossible to bring the Zhao family in.
It is impossible for Zhao Qian to intervene, and Zhao Yun will not interfere, killing an inconsequential Yuan family minion Luo Duchun is already the limit.
Don't look at the Zhao family's very beautiful scenery, there is Zhao Zhong in the palace, Zhao Qian and Zhao Wen are also handsome for a while, if they really want to fight with the Yuan family, it is not known who will kill the two sides.
The fourth and third dukes, that's not just talking. Many officials in the world are from the Yuan family.
In fact, the vast majority of them do not have a direct teacher-student relationship, and their protΓ©gΓ©s are everywhere, and they are big trees that officials can rely on in the eyes of officials.
What is the Zhao family?
Cao Cao is awesome, and he is regarded as a castration by others.
When it comes to eunuchs, they don't have to be bad people. Look at who Cao Teng recommends?
All of them are celebrities at home, such as Chen Liuyufang, Bian Shao, Nanyang Yangu, Zhang Wen, Hongnong Zhang Huan, Yingchuan Tangxidian, etc.
Otherwise, the two groups are fighting so fiercely, there is no Cao Cao who raises his arms and shouts, and someone will follow.
At that time, the scourge of the party was still there, and the struggle for power and profit between the scholars and the eunuch group was particularly fierce.
I have endured not going to Luoyang for so many years, the first is to strengthen the financial resources of the Zhao family, and the second is to gain a greater reputation.
Otherwise, after arriving in the capital, he will definitely have an intersection with Zhao Zhong, and it is no wonder that the official group does not gnaw itself to the scum.
But Zhao Zhong is different, the disaster of the party, he and Zhang Rang are the representatives of the eunuch group.
Fame is an ethereal thing, but scholars and writers flock to it. With his current reputation and the identity of the son-in-law of the Xun family, he may have a better life after arriving in Luoyang.
Subsequently, Chen Zhi's words surprised Zhao Yun, and he had to sigh that the person who knows you best is your enemy.
