Chapter 5: Yang Xiu
After entering Luoyang, it caught my eye a very prosperous street. Hawkers on both sides were hawking hard. Each store was crowded with people. The merchants and customers were crowded with people on the road, and the people coming and going on the road seemed to be very prosperous, let alone other streets. Xu Shuo and his two people realized that they had almost used their money, so they found a small inn in the city and settled it. Xiuer and Xu Shuo asked around to see what the current situation was.
As he thought about it, he walked to a nearby restaurant that seemed to be high-end. Before he could enter the restaurant, he could hear various sounds in it. Xu Shuo looked at the few silver coins given by Xiu'er in his bag and thought to himself: "Why go to this restaurant to try your luck? See who you can meet, otherwise it would be a solution to just waste it. You can't come to the door to seek official positions directly. If you do this, you will probably be bombed out, and you'll try it." After saying that, Xu Shuo made up his mind to enter the restaurant.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, there were people on the tables around me. Xu Shuo called the waiter to take a pot of wine and sat next to the window waiting for the opportunity.
"Dezu, why have you been free to come out to drink with me recently?"
"My father has been sorting out the affairs of the court recently and has no time to care about me. I'm not here to let you drink some wine to relieve your boredom. My father asks me to squat in the mansion and study and not to run around. He always says that he doesn't go out to cause trouble if he is in chaos. If he is bored in the mansion, I will be like a troublemaker."
"Haha, why don't you look like it? Haha, let's not talk about these, let's continue drinking."
Xu Shuo looked at the table next to him and was having a great time drinking. After listening to their conversation, he thought: "Dezu? Who is the name Dezu in history?" After thinking for a while, Yaya smiled, "Dezu, Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu, here is here, hehe, the son of the Grand Marshal Yang Biao, is interesting, just use his hand to enter the Yang family first to look for an opportunity."
Xu Shuo stood up and took a pot of wine with himself, walked slowly towards the table, and went to the table to toast Yang Xiu and the other four, saying, "I think you are all people with temperament. Can you call me one more? Isn't it more lively?"
After hearing this, several people welcomed Xu Shuo to the table. After drinking for three rounds, one of them said, "Can you tell me your name? After drinking it, I don't know the name of your brother. Where is the person? Look at this outfit, I am not from Luoyang." After that, he bowed.
Xu Shuo wanted to check his household registration, he would die if he asked one by one, he would ask him one by one. It's true.
Xu Shuo immediately stood up and said, "My surname is Shuo and my courtesy name is Ziqian. I was originally from Wuwei County, Liangzhou. I came here in Luoyang because of the difficulties. I hope to find an errand in Luoyang to live a peaceful life with my inner friend."
"If you don't mind, call me Ziqian."
Yang Xiu asked, "Brother Ziqian, I'm afraid you won't live a stable life. Now there are Yellow Turban bandits everywhere. Yang remembers that there were also many Yellow Turban bandits in Liangzhou some time ago. Thank you, Brother Ziqian is fine."
Xu Shuo thought to himself: "This is Yang Xiu, who is arrogant in history. Why do I feel that he is very good? Well, at least he will care about people."
Xu Shuo said to Yang Xiu, "Thank you for your concern."
While drinking, Xu Shuo was frowning from time to time. Seeing that Xu Shuo was worried, several people asked, "Ziqian, why are you always frowning? If you have concerns, please tell me what you have, brothers and I can help you think of a solution?"
Xu Shuo shook his head and sighed.
Seeing Xu Shuo like this, the few people became even more anxious. Yang Xiu said, "Ziqian, you are treating us as outsiders like this. Tell me, the ancients said that there must be my master when three people walk. Although we may not be your master, it is still OK to help you solve small problems."
Xu Shuo saw the wine in his hands waiting for him to answer. Xu Shuo knew that he was almost ready and replied in disgrace: "I have received my brothers' wishes. Shuo brought his inner friend to Luoyang for the first time. He was unfamiliar with his place, and he had no money left because he was on the road. He hoped to find a job to earn some money to live."
Several people laughed when they heard this, and one of them said, "What kind of work does Ziqian want to do? The family next to me is a big businessman, and they are so generous. Arrangement to enter and be a manager is just a matter of one sentence, but I think Ziqian is not an ordinary person. Will it be too wrong for you to be a manager? You can also come to me. I am Sikong Chenqiu (I haven't found it in history, so I made one myself, don't mind hahaha) The son of Chen Gong, the name Chen Gong, is Congwen. If you have ambitions and want to be an official, you can come to my mansion or Dezu's mansion, right? The Dezu family is more powerful than my family. His father is Yang Taiwei, the leader of the three dukes." After that, Chen Gong pointed to Yang Xiu opposite and smiled.
"Oh, Chen Congwen, you dare to joke with me, and you should punish yourself for three cups." Yang Xiu quipped.
"If Ziqian doesn't dislike it, you can come to our mansion to let your father evaluate you first. If you are real and knowledgeable, you can directly serve. However, my father's temper probably only started as a small official. If you are willing, come to our mansion tomorrow. It just so happens that my father's affairs will be handled almost tomorrow." After Yang Xiu said that, he sent an invitation to Xu Shuo.
"Okay, Yang Dezu, before I finished speaking, you asked Ziqian to go to your mansion. What should I do? Ziqian, the Grand Marshal is too strict. Why don't you come to my side? My father is not strict, so what if you give you a golden Cao Dangdang?" After saying that, he looked at Xu Shuo with a smile.
Xu Shuo was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, "Yang Biao had always known Mingzhe to keep his rest, but Sikong would probably be plotted by others later. According to the historical direction, there is no good ending in Sikong's position. If it is not possible, it is not safe. Well, go back and think about buying two books and reading it. First, ask what the Taiwei likes to rely on. Just make do with his previous life plus his mind, and you can remember as much as you can in one night!"
"Brother Dezu, what do you usually like to take? Can you tell Shuo something about it? Shuohao will go back and review it carefully so that he won't be embarrassed when he is too embarrassed." Xu Shuo asked.
"It's nothing more than "Loyalty", "Filial Piety", "Rite", "Spring and Autumn", "Six Strategies", etc. It depends on which aspect you want to engage in. There are only a few things that Qian can go back to review for a good life. Looking forward to the surprise of Qian tomorrow, my father will not be too low for Ziqian's management position. I wouldn't I have no face to say too low?" Yang Xiu said jokingly.
"Then I won't drink the wine. Shuo should hurry back and review it. If it becomes ugly tomorrow, how can you help my grandparents invite you? Everyone, it's not good to redeem Shuo. Shuo punishes himself three times to express his apology."
After saying that, Xu Shuo finally drank three cups and got up and left.
"Haha, Xu Ziqian is really impatient. Dezu is almost the same as you." Chen Gong smiled.
"I just don't know where Ziqian knows my mansion. I'm leaving so anxiously, so I don't let me finish it. Forget it, let him inquire about it tomorrow. Hehe, I won't be able to remember it even if I don't suffer any hardship." Yang Xiudao
"Haha, isn't this the same as you? Come and keep drinking, don't disturb the mood, where are we talking?"
The other side
Xu Shuo immediately asked Xiu'er to buy the books with the last money. Xiu'er was reluctant to leave at that time. After all, she was a little bit of food. If she was used randomly, she wouldn't even have to eat in the future. Xu Shuo explained for a long time and finally Xiu'er took it out.
It was night, and a candle illuminated the dark room, like the only little light in the darkness.
Under the light, a person was busy looking at the books, as if the man and those books were integrated together, and with the light of the candle, it seemed to form a painting.
A painting that a scholar learned hard
