Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

On the way being taken, Ruan Qing looked around and asked, "Who are the masters in the house now?"

Because it was arranged by Cheng Yu, the servants were very respectful to Ruan Qing, "One is Master Yang, and the other is Master Sima."

After hearing this, Ruan Qing rarely recalled the old things in her mind, and asked with a meaningful smile, "Yang Xiu, Sima Yi?"

"Exactly." The servant nodded.

Ruan Qing secretly memorized how many pavilions she bypassed and how many places she leaned on, and finally arrived outside the study.

As he approached the door, he heard Cao Cao's voice, as if he was giving orders.

Ruan Qing stopped the servant who wanted to introduce her, waved her hand to signal not to interrupt, and told the servant to leave.He leaned against the railing window beside him, looked up at the blue sky outside the corridor, and listened quietly.

It's about Ma Teng.

Ma Chao waved the flag and tried his best to rebel against the army, but he didn't care about the safety of Lao Tzu, who was still an official in Xuchang.Now that Ma Chao has been dealt with, it is natural to return to deal with Ma Teng.

After an unknown period of time, the conversation inside stopped, and a person came out of the room.The man strode away directly, Ruan Qing who was still at the side had no idea.Ruan Qing knew this man as Man Chong.

"Come in." Cao Cao's call came from the hall, somewhat casually.Without the prestige of discussing matters just now.

Ruan Qing pulled off her collar, turned out from the side, carried her skirt over the threshold, and said with a smile, "How does my lord know that Qing is outside, she really has a good heart."

Cao Cao snorted, noncommittal, but raised his hand and pointed behind Ruan Qing.

I saw beautiful patterns carved on the closed windows, covered with gauze, if you stand close, you can see the figure naturally.

"Oh." Ruan Qing said, "You don't care, you just have a heart-to-heart with the lord."

There was no one else in the room, so Ruan Qing wanted to sit down next to Cao Cao.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao raised his chin casually and said, "Sit down."

Fortunately, Ruan Qing is not close to Cao Cao.Just sit straight to the next seat like this, and there is no doubt about it.

Ruan Qing's smile remained unchanged, and there was no trace of embarrassment or inappropriateness on her expression.Honestly sat down to the bottom.

"The affairs of the mansion are complicated. You haven't taken over them for many years. The old man has sent someone to call Yang Xiu. He is also the master of the mansion. Let him entrust you with the affairs in detail."

"No." Ruan Qing nodded obediently.

"Do you still have the habit of living in the mansion?" Cao Cao asked.

"Very good." Ruan Qing said, "It's really a labor of love for the Lord. You are extremely terrified and grateful."

"There's no need to be afraid," Cao Cao said, "I can't see the slightest bit of fear on your face, this old man, but you're happy."

"My lord." Ruan Qing tilted her head and complained, "Don't keep tearing down Qing."

Cao Cao laughed.

The two were chatting happily when they saw a person turning out from the back hall, holding a tray with a bowl on it.

This person probably came in from the backyard through the back door, his voice was clear and gentle, like a melodious nightingale, it made one's heart crumble when he heard it.

"Prime Minister, the porridge is ready, Madam tells you to use it quickly, don't forget it."

This young man is thin, his steps are light and steady, he walks like a breeze, without making any noise, but he moves smoothly, which is pleasing to the eye.

He didn't seem to care that there were outsiders around, he went straight to Cao Cao, knelt down Rourou, and put the bowl on the table.

The boy lowered his head, revealing a fair and delicate neck, slender and flexible, like a white swan.

Ruan Qing happened to see the other person's face from this angle.

Cloudy temples and black hair, tied carefully behind the head, tied in with a blue hair tie.The face is white and flawless, as if it is creamy.The eyebrows are well-shaped, and a light stroke gives people infinite gentle reverie.Eyelashes are like a small fan.A pair of deer eyes are soft, and the pupil color is slightly black, reflecting the spring light, as if countless stars are hidden.Smart and bright, it seems to include all the spiritual energy in the world.

Ruan Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at the young man in a daze.The smile on his face couldn't hold back, but in order to prevent Cao Cao from being suspicious, he could only maintain the original state stiffly.

When he saw Cao Cao handing the bowl to the boy, the boy's slender fingertips rubbed against Cao Cao's fingertips.

He almost immediately jumped up and questioned loudly, who is this person and why he looks so similar to him.

His cheeks were already numb and he didn't feel anything. He could only use what he thought was the most perfect smile and looked at Cao Cao with the most calm posture. The sharp eyes looked at the young man with a bit of hidden pity, and poured the bowl of warm I drank the porridge in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, the boy handed over the handkerchief and asked Cao Cao to wipe his mouth.

Cao Cao took over the movements skillfully and casually, as if he had already gotten used to it.

Ruan Qing looked at the two in a daze, feeling like a huge light bulb, an outsider.

At this moment, he was suddenly very grateful that he was wearing clothes with wide sleeves, which covered his clenched hands, whose nails almost tore through his palms.

The corners of the stiffly raised mouth fell down quietly at some point, and the thin lips almost couldn't help trembling, so they could only be pursed into an almost cold straight line.

Those eyes filled with all the hopes, longings, and admirations in the world, brighter than a child, and brighter than the sun, are like shooting stars in the night sky, flashing across the night, shining for a moment, then quickly fading and dying, and finally becoming bleak. Light, only boundless coldness.

After Cao Cao finished his porridge, he looked at Ruan Qing, seeing Ruan Qing staring blankly at the young man, so he said, "This is the new Master Ruan."

The teenager smiled and nodded.Take it easy.

"What a handsome young man." Ruan Qing tried her best to pull up the corners of her mouth, and quickly wrapped herself up, pretending to be normal, so that no one would find out that a meteor had fallen.The curved eyes hide the dark hollows in the pupils.

He looked at Cao Cao, "Qing has never seen it before, who is this?"

"Yuan Qing is my valet." Cao Cao introduced.

No wonder he had to be the servant, there was already a better candidate.

Ruan Qing felt as if she had been split in two from the inside out.His skin was numb and mechanically smiling brightly, as if he didn't care about anything.But his spirit was poured with a basin of icy water in the twelfth lunar month, and he was extremely sober, and even sober made his bones ache a little.The heart was clenched into a ball, and the pain seemed to be rolling with the soul.

No, he has to hold on.He couldn't let Cao Cao see his strangeness.

He is just a subordinate, a courtier. When he sees someone's servant, what right does he have to make a fuss, ask questions, or even be unhappy.

Ruan Qing, look, you still foolishly want to come forward to be a valet, a bed warmer, someone already has one.People don't want you long ago.

Ruan Qing was almost self-inflicted, cruelly dissecting the reality, telling herself that she wanted to trample and crush the gorgeous flowers that had only been thriving in her heart for only a few months.Destroy those ridiculous illusions, ignorant expectations, as soon as possible.

12 years.People don't need you anymore.Who do you think you are.

What is this now?Cao Cao no longer touches him.There is a new valet who is prettier than him.

After all, he became one of those ordinary courtiers.So what if you get more attention?In Cao Cao's eyes and heart, there is no longer a trace of specialness.

I used to think that I would be the closest person...

Ruan Qing wanted to cry.

He never realized that it was so difficult to pretend to be smiling.

Cao Cao was talking to him again.But now he is heartbroken and has no clue, so he can only answer casually.

"Why hasn't Yang Xiu arrived yet?" Ruan Qing asked with a smile.

He really didn't have the strength to deal with Cao Cao, and now he just wanted to escape.It didn't matter where he fled, as long as he had a good rest in a place where no one was around.

As soon as the words fell, Yang Xiu's figure appeared outside the door.

Ruan Qing didn't know how to say goodbye to Cao Cao and what to say, and left with Yang Xiu.

"Master Ruan doesn't seem to like villains very much." Yuan Qing, who was sitting next to Cao Cao, looked at Ruan Qing's back and said softly.

Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Qing indifferently, then looked at the receding figure, and said solemnly, "As you can see, his ability to hide his joy is still a bit lacking."

Yuan Qing looked at the majestic and unfathomable Cao Cao beside him, and suddenly wanted to ask, can you tell that he likes you?

But these words are only in my mind.He knew that this was not what he should ask.

Ruan Qing just walked behind Yang Xiu, and the scenery passing by on both sides seemed unreal.

He had desperately hoped to go to a place where there was no one and cry bitterly.No, I can't find a closed and unoccupied space here.

If he dared to shed tears, the news of the Ming Dynasty would fly into whose ears he would fly on his wings.

It turned out that in the current situation, he couldn't even cry happily.

After walking for a while, his urge to cry dissipated, leaving only deep tiredness in his heart.

"Yuan Qing next to the prime minister, do you look like me?" Ruan Qing cleared her throat, trying her best to restore her clear voice.

Yang Xiu turned his head in surprise, glanced at Ruan Qing, and said with a smile, "The faces are five points similar, but as for the bearing, they are not half the same."

"How is he like me, and how is he not like me?" Ruan Qing asked.

Yang Xiu smiled and shook his head, but remained silent.

Ruan Qing didn't ask any further questions.While walking, he looked at the newly built pavilions in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few years.

No wonder Zhao Yun hesitated to speak to him. Those colleagues who used to work with him also had deep feelings when they saw him.

It turned out that everyone knew, but only kept it from him.Let him have the idiotic dream of the last few months in Xiliang.It is the last fulfillment for him.

Yang Xiu brought Ruan Qing into a room where there were rows of bookshelves filled with bamboo slips, and Yang Xiu dutifully explained to him.

One of the many houses in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Sima Yi was tidying up the messy pile of scrolls when a voice came from the door asking, "Is Zhong Da there?"

He hurriedly poked his head out from between the bookshelves, only to see Cao Pi who was dressed in dark green.The contours of the face are tough and handsome, with sword-shaped eyebrows drawn into the temples, revealing a capable and sharp face.

The brow bone is slightly higher, and the eyeballs are darker in color, making the eyes appear deeper.It's hard to figure out what's going on in the depths of these eyes, don't add a bit of sinister breath.

But fortunately, the eye shape follows the mother, a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes, just a normal posture, as if smiling lightly, with a good temper, which dilutes the gloom a lot.If you follow Cao Cao, I don't know how many people will be frightened.

Sima Yi hurriedly stepped forward to salute Cao Pi, "Why is the second son here?"

"Ha, Zhongda, don't be restrained." Cao Pi smiled and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, looking very casual, and walked into the room, "A certain new wine recently, I want to come to you and Wu Zhi and the others for a long time. Tomorrow Xiu Mu, don't you know that Zhong Da is willing to honor him?"

Sima Yi clasped his hands again and saluted, "My lord invites me personally, and Yi will definitely go."

"Haha." Cao Pi smiled and held Sima Yi by his shoulders with both hands, "Zhongda, you are still so respectful and courteous. You and I are friends, so there is no need to be so."

The second day came quickly.

Sima Yi arrived at Cao Pi's mansion earlier than the agreed time.

Cao Pi came out to greet him kindly, and took him to his study.

Cao Pi can't compare to Cao Zhi's good literary talent, and he can't compare to Cao Zhang's good military strength, but he is a rare person among Cao Cao who has both civil and military skills and is very outstanding.

"Young Master." Sima Yi said, "Yi has something to say."

Cao Pi immediately understood, and waved back the attendants guarding the door.

Sima Yi said, "These words should have been said to the young master yesterday, but in the prime minister's mansion, for fear of being overheard by interested people, we can only swallow it temporarily. Today, in the name of going to a banquet, come earlier and tell the young master."

Cao Pi knew that the school administration under Cao Cao was very powerful, so he nodded and said, "Now that the servants have retreated, no one will hear about it except you and me, so Zhong Da can rest assured."

Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi with a serious look in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "My lord, you know that the chief minister of the prime minister's residence, the prime minister, has pointed out someone."

Cao Pi was stunned, "I really don't know, isn't it true that no one has held this position since Ruan Qing? Why did father send someone here this time?"

"This person is Ruan Muer."

"What!" Cao Pi listened, and stood up from his seat. Some narrow peach blossom eyes were slightly rounded, and he looked at Sima Yi in astonishment. There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice, and he asked urgently, "Zhongda, Do you know what you're talking about?"

"It seems that the Prime Minister hasn't announced the news yet." Sima Yi raised his eyes and looked at Cao Pi who had walked two or three steps in front of his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, do you know who went to pick up Ruan Qing yesterday?"

Cao Pi paused, and blurted out, "It's Yang Xiu?"

"It's Yang Xiu." Sima Yi asked again, "Do you know who Yang Xiu is, my lord?"

At this moment, Cao Pi calmed down, his voice was deep, and he couldn't hear any other emotions, "It belongs to the third brother."

"That's right." Sima Yi stared at Cao Pi closely, his eyes shone slightly, like an arrow that only shot into a person's soul, quickly and sharply,

"Over the years, no matter what the prime minister did or what the young master said to Yi, you can tell how much the prime minister values ​​Ruan Qing. Now the prime minister has not released the news of his return, so he asked Yang Xiu to be the recommender .The prime minister knows that Yang Xiu is on good terms with the third son. Do you understand why?"

Cao Pi's hands hanging in his wide sleeves trembled a little, and he said with difficulty, "I know what you are going to say. Over the years, my father has become more and more partial to the third brother. My father wants to help the third brother build this line."

"impossible."

After saying these words, without waiting for Sima Yi to open his mouth, he flicked his sleeves and turned around. His breath was a little unsteady, as if suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out, he murmured, "This is impossible."

Impossible what?Is it because he doesn't want to believe that Cao Cao is so partial, or because he doesn't want to believe that Ruan Qing fell to Cao Zhi's camp so easily?

Sima Yi quietly looked at Cao Pi's tall back.

This adult man, under the control of Xuchang, the capital controlled by Cao Cao, has long been used to hiding all his emotions. Only occasionally, when talking about Ruan Qing in private, he would show nostalgic and fragile eyes.

"Tomorrow the Prime Minister will host a banquet for the clan. Young Master, you might as well go and ask around the Third Young Master who has been bribed long ago. If Ruoyi's guess is right, the Third Young Master should visit today."

"Sir?" Seeing that Ruan Qing was stunned and did not speak for a long time, the boy who reported him called again.

Ruan Qing blinked, and closed the banquet post Cao Cao sent, "What did you just say?"

The servant repeated it again, "Marquis Pingyuan and Yang Xiu, head of the prime minister's mansion, came to pay their respects."

"I don't know any Marquis of Pingyuan." Ruan Qing said while deliberately putting the banquet stickers into the box on the desk.

"The Marquis of Pingyuan is the third son of the prime minister's mansion. He was declared as Marquis of Pingyuan in the first month of last year."

Ruan Qing blurted out, "It's Cao Zhang? No..." He quickly came to his senses, and before his servant could correct him in time, he said, "It's Cao Zhi. How old is he this year?"

"To reach the crown." The boy was anxious while explaining.See you or not?This is the prime minister's favorite son, and he is waiting in the front hall now.

"Can I see him?"

Ruan Qing didn't mean to be sarcastic.When he first came to Xuchang, many news had already been blocked.He also doesn't want to get involved in complicated interpersonal relationships, and just wants to work under Cao Cao's hands innocently.This is a very normal question.

The servant didn't understand what Ruan Qing was thinking, and thought it was a quirk, so he shut up and dared not answer randomly.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party didn't speak, Ruan Qing could only stand up, "At least come here, I'll meet you in the front hall."

The boy was relieved.

The two are waiting in the lobby.

Cao Zhi had never been here before, and looked at the low-luxury and exquisite interior decoration. He heard that this was specially designed by Cao Cao, and he ordered the work after reviewing the draft in person. There is no one in the clan who is so favored.

Yang Xiu has only been here once.The previous impression is vague, but I generally remember the layout.

Goodbye now, he knows that Ruan's mansion has experienced a fire, and the current mansion was built later, seeing that the layout inside is the same as the memory, he can't help but sigh, it seems that the old servants in the prime minister's mansion said that Cao Cao treats Ruan Qing as his own son The words of education are true.

Thinking of this, his heart gradually became active.If Ruan Qing is willing to assist Cao Zhi.Isn't Cao Cao's preference for Cao Zhi a little more.

The two were thinking about something in their hearts, and a figure appeared outside the door.

I saw that the visitor had delicate eyebrows, soft deer eyes, and ruddy thin lips.A head of silky black hair was untied, loosely tied behind her back, and a few strands of hair rested lazily on the side of her face.

The figure is thin and slender, like a green bamboo.A light blue shirt, a long skirt with big sleeves, the material is soft and light.

When walking, the sleeves were swaying, and the hem of the skirt was rippling, like the waves of a pond.The snow-white undershirt was open at the neckline, revealing the delicate collarbone.A red string with a small piece of jade fell on the snow-white skin.Burning red eyes, bright white.

His appearance can only be described as above-average, not stunning, but what really attracts people is the faint alienation and indifference flowing between his brows.Wearing this romantic outfit again, it's like a fairy in the clouds who doesn't think about the world of mortals breaking into the world.

Cao Zhi was shocked when he saw Ruan Qing.

This person is similar to Yuan Qing who is beside his father.

But as soon as the thought occurred to him, he dismissed it in an instant.

No, although Yuan Qing's name is Qingyi, his body is full of fireworks, like a little fox, like a canary, with a pair of pure-looking eyes that wink like silk when he smiles.

And the person in front of him, even though his name was Ruan Qingmuer, didn't dare to let anyone have any blasphemous thoughts.

No wonder his father valued him so much.

Cao Zhi thought to himself.

Cao Zhi is a literati, seeing Ruan Qing's immortal temperament, he can't help but love him, and wants to make friends.

"Waiting for a long time." Ruan Qing cupped her hands in salute, "Ping Yuanhou, Master Yang."

His expression was indifferent, as if covered with a thin layer of ice and snow, making it impossible to see the temperature inside.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down.

Ruan Qing was in the main seat, looking at Cao Zhi, "You two are here, what's the matter?"

Cao Zhi said with a smile, "Zhi was taught by his husband when he was young, and he kept it in his heart, and he dare not forget it all these years. Now that he heard that his husband returned, he came to visit him to express his longing for these years."

Ruan Qing didn't believe this nonsense.

Cao Pi was always taught by him by his side. How old was Cao Zhi when he left?Also not common.These words made Cao Zhang, who was a little older and memorized, even more credible.

But he knew in his heart that he couldn't dismantle the situation bluntly, he could only pretend to be confused.

Nodding his head, he said, "My lord, you don't have to be like this. Since you have received the kindness from the prime minister, you should also treat the prime minister's heirs wholeheartedly."

Anyone can talk nonsense when they see people, and talk nonsense when they see ghosts.

Looking at Yang Xiu again, "I haven't thanked Master Yang for leading the way yesterday."

Yang Xiu knelt on the mat and bent slightly towards Ruan Qing, "Mister's words are serious. In the past, the Yang family was in trouble, and it was thanks to Mr.'s words that they were able to escape from the sea of ​​flames. These years, I have not forgotten Mr.'s great kindness. Thank you for your kindness. It is really a great comfort to Xiu to see Master again today."

After a few words, Ruan Qing knew clearly.Here comes the gossip.

He was physically and mentally exhausted from being stimulated by Yuan Qing yesterday, and he felt that all these years of hard work had become a joke.Now I haven't recovered, and I don't have the enthusiasm and smoothness I used to treat customers.

Ruan Qing's brows were always cold, but she didn't show an expression of impatience.The two probably saw that Ruan Qing was not in the mood to entertain, so they chatted for a while, then got up to leave.

Ruan Qing is not afraid of offending others.I couldn't get up by myself, so I called my servants to send it off.

After leaving the mansion, the two got into the carriage.

"How?" Cao Zhi smiled and said to Yang Xiudao, "I've said it all, since he can be spoiled by my father, he has a high vision and a high character. You and I will come back disappointed."

Cao Zhi sat at the top.Yang Xiu sat on the side.

"That's fine." He raised his hand, lifted the curtains behind him, tilted his head slightly to look at the Ruan Mansion that was gradually falling behind him, then put it down again, and said, "If it's true what Young Master said, he doesn't want to assist Young Master. How can he look up to the Eldest Young Master? With such an attitude, he is at least much stronger than those who are both vain."

Yang Xiu raised his head slightly, raised his breath, and said slowly, "My lord, if you can persuade him, your weight in the prime minister's side will at least be multiplied several times."

Cao Zhi laughed, "Zu De thinks he is so important? After all, I haven't seen him for ten years. No one can guess what my father is thinking."

"My lord, don't underestimate him." Yang Xiu said, "My lord knows better than me who the prime minister is. He was able to follow the prime minister from scratch and be kept by his side all the time. There must be his wisdom. I saw you in the past. Passing him, seeing you now, it is obvious that he has not spent these years mediocrely."

After speaking, Yang Xiu let out a long breath, "Young master, if you can subdue him, Xiu dare to assure you, he must be a good minister who can do his best and dare to sacrifice his life, a loyal minister."

The author has something to say:
