Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

Fire flows in July, and clothes are granted in September.After the hot summer, the weather turned cooler.

"Lai Yinger trained the dance class well. The prime minister was reluctant to let her die, but she said that it was agreed in advance, and she should not see Wang Tu again. She was busy for Wang Tu every day, but she didn't know that Wang Tu had already had another lover. Although the prime minister found out that Wang Tu was ruthless, he promised Yinger not to kill Wang Tu, so there was nothing he could do about it."

The small red clay pot for boiling wine on the stove gurgled, and mellow white smoke wafted out.The servant squatted in front of the window and slowly fanned the fire on the stove with a chipped cattail fan, chatting about gossip.

Autumn is high and crisp, the sky is clear and the clouds are light, and the cool breeze blows over the bare skin, which is cool and comfortable.

Ruan Qing was sitting on the stone steps outside the house, looking at the yellowing leaves on the trees in the courtyard, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her soft deer eyes were narrowed, full of laziness, and she patted her knee with her palm , humming the words gently in his mouth,

"The king of Wu, Fu Chai, was obsessed with wine and sex. He shouldn't have listened to the thief Bopi. It's a pity that he killed Wu Zixu. He said that the death of a loyal official was painful, and he said that a hero died. It's really a waste of all previous efforts. Is it true that I want to learn from Wu Zixu today? Divorce."

Cao Cao's control over Xuchang became stronger and stronger.The little emperor bestowed on Cao Cao the ability to pay homage without a name, and walk on the temple with his sword. '

When the north was pacified, bureaucrats came forward to invite Cao Cao to be the Duke of Wei and add Jiuxi.

Since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, there has been a decree that different surnames are not allowed to be called kings.Xun Yu was a supporter of the Han Dynasty, and he was the first to jump out against this proposal.

Cao Cao did not expect that Xun Yu would take the lead in opposing him, or he had already thought of such a result.

The monarchs and ministers who have been with each other for dozens of years have been having disagreements since they became the emperor in Xuchang, and finally, they have completely reached a crossroads of different paths.

Cao Cao once again promulgated the edict of the Southern Expedition, and the date was set in October, with an army of 40.

Ruan Qing invited Cao Cao to come to his mansion, dressed in a red robe embroidered with embroidery, with trembling golden wings and pompoms on his head, and sang "Weiyang Palace" together with the supporting troupe

"Weiyang Palace" tells the story that Xiao He invited Han Xin into the palace, and Empress Lu killed Han Xin in Weiyang Palace.

This play is a little shorter, and it took place in the early Han Dynasty, so it is not too abrupt to sing it now.It is much better than singing a story about Tang and Song Dynasties.

After more than half an hour, after a play was sung, everyone left the scene one after another.

Seeing these for the first time, Cao Cao thought they were novel and applauded.After Ruan Qing stepped down, he called people to him.

Ruan Qing sat next to Cao Cao, put her hands on her knees, leaned over, smiling with deer eyes.

Cao Cao smiled, raised his hand and plucked the red pompom in the middle, and said, "These songs are interesting, I have never heard them before. Where did you learn them?"

"It's an opera." Ruan Qing said, "This one is called "Weiyang Palace". When I was young, Qing had seen a song and dance troupe perform a hundred operas in the village, so I went to learn some. Do you like it, my lord?"

The golden sun in the afternoon fell on the wrinkled face at some point, diluting the prestige of sitting in the top position for a long time, and there was a little softness in the sharp eyes, "I like it." Cao Cao said.

"That's good." Ruan Qing seemed to be relieved, and seemed to be very interested, "This is a special rehearsal for the lord He Sheng. Yesterday the lord was in the mansion to have fun with the wives and sons. Today, you dare to invite the lord to come. .Because of time constraints, no costumes, and few musicians, this short one was arranged. If the lord likes it, in the future, Qing will often arrange new songs for the lord to watch."

"Mu Er has a heart, and Gu likes it very much." Cao Cao said, "It's just that people perform their own duties, and these kabukis perform their own performances. Your general's mansion is written in Chinese, and you have heavy official duties on weekdays. You should focus on handling official affairs. These things , you can touch it again during leisure and entertainment, and you must not lose your mind and waste your youth in vain."

Ruan Qing's heart felt cold, and her fingertips felt numb.He didn't show it on his face, he smiled brighter, and said, "What my lord said is that Qing didn't think carefully, and it won't happen in the future."

Seeing that Cao Cao's bottle was empty, he picked up the jug and poured it down, saying carefully, "My lord, for this southern expedition, you want to join the army."

The faint mellow fragrance mixed with the smell of peach blossom permeated the two of them, and the splashing of the water stopped. Ruan Qing held the wide-bellied jug on her lap with both hands, and picked the pattern on it with her fingertips restlessly.

Cao Cao rubbed the outer wall of the wine bottle with his fingertips, looked at Ruan Qing who was cramped, and said, "This time, Cao Pi is going to lead the court affairs on his behalf. He is young, and there are always things he can't think about. If you stay this time, you need to live well." Assistant. Such a lonely talent can have no worries."

But he wanted to follow Cao Cao, he didn't want to stay...

"Qing understands." Ruan Qing smiled stiffly at the corners of his lips. He looked down at his white knuckles and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Qing will do his best to assist the eldest son."

"Yes." Cao Cao got up, "If Mu'er has nothing else to do, I will go home alone."

"My lord, wait a minute." Ruan Qing hurriedly got up, "This is the wine that Qing learned how to brew. You just drank a few cups after seeing the lord, and it seems to suit the lord's taste. My lord, wait a moment. You asked your servants to fetch a few jars. Send it to the lord together."

"Okay." Cao Cao looked at Ruan Qing lovingly, "Mu'er has a heart."

Ruan Qing pursed her lips and shook her head, "My lord likes it the best." Then she beckoned her servants to go to the wine cellar.

The cool wind in late autumn blew, lifting the corner of the satin robe, winding around the broken hair around the ear, whistling over the withered branches, sweeping down a few leaves, and falling to the ground lightly in circles.

Slow, tortuous, and reluctant, but still unable to resist the results of the cycle of the four seasons.

Cao Cao stood in the bleak place, his eyes were as silent as a deep pool of water, quietly watching Ruan Qing's busy back.Hidden in the depths of his eyes, he seemed to be moved for a moment, but when he looked closely, there was nothing there, just the usual silence.

Ruan Qing's smiling face completely collapsed the moment Cao Cao's chariot and horse disappeared into the street.He turned back and entered the mansion, while walking on the road, he reached out and took off the decoration on his head.Back in the house, she silently took off her hair and robe.

"Sir." The steward came in and called him.

He was wiping the rouge off his face, when he heard the steward asking about the rest, he lifted his still steamy cheeks and said, "Let the theater troupe leave after the show is over. Put away the jewelry and instruments and put them in the warehouse."

"Stop singing?" the steward said regretfully, "Sir, it took so much effort to find someone to make these things, and it took a lot of effort to teach the erhu to the musicians."

"Yeah." Ruan Qing responded, and said calmly, "I won't sing anymore." After a moment's pause, she said softly, "My lord doesn't like it, I'm afraid that playing with things will lose my mind and delay the business."

He threw the handkerchief that was stained by wiping his face into the copper basin filled with muddy water, splashing a moderate amount of water.He glanced at the steward who was still standing there, "Go down. I don't need you to serve me. Go do your work."

In the winter and October of the 17th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led an army of 40 to march south.

Ruan Qing was not included in the army.As a close servant, Yuan Qing was kept in the prime minister's mansion every time Cao Cao went out to the army.

Without Cao Cao, Ruan Qing and Yuan Qing would never see each other.For example, two parallel lines should not have any intersection by nature.

Cao Cao first went to Ruxukou, stationed troops, and fought against Soochow.At the same time, Liu Bei marched to seek the middle of Shu.

The war remained stalemate until the 18th year of Jian'an. Cao Cao saw that the long-term attack was not good, and Sun Quan also saw that the long-term battle was invincible, so they ceased fighting twice.

When Cao Cao returned to the army, he thought that Xun Yu was preventing him from entering Duke Wei, so he sent someone to deliver an empty food box in advance.

Ruan Qing has been staying in Xuchang for the past six months, diligently handling everything she is in charge of, and helping Cao Pi with all her heart.

After a cold winter, the heavy cotton clothes were replaced by light spring shirts, and the sycamore trees in the yard flourished again.

When the news that Cao Cao wanted the class teacher was sent back, he started to work again, sorting out the documents and data that Cao Cao might inquire about when he came back as soon as possible.

"Master, Xun Lingjun passed on your letter."

Ruan Qing frantically stopped writing.There was a moment of astonishment.

He and Xun Yu do not work together.He is an official of the prime minister's mansion, and Xun Yu is the minister of the Han Dynasty and works in the Han Palace.It stands to reason that the two of them will not have any intersection except personal friendship.

But because of Guo Jia's introduction of Yuan Qing, he had a estrangement from Xun Yu after all, so he seldom had any contact with Xun Yu.

He opened the letter and glanced twice, it turned out that Xun Yu asked him to come over to the house tomorrow to talk about it.

Tomorrow... is Muxiu.

Since she was going to see Xun Yu, it was rare for Ruan Qing to dress formally.

After entering Xun Yu's mansion, the servants led him all the way to a pavilion in the garden.

The servants retreated, leaving only the two of them.

Ruan Qing didn't hold back, she just sat down and said with a smile, "Didn't you keep Wen Ruo waiting?"

The earthen pot on the stove beside the table was rumbling, Xun Yu scooped the contents into a cup and put it in front of Ruan Qing, "The time is just right."

Ruan Qing bent down slightly, and saw what was inside, "Tea, Qing has never eaten in this life, so I can only drink it with Wen Ruo." After finishing speaking, he cupped it with both hands, put it on his lips and took a sip carefully .

The taste was bitter and spicy, and he really couldn't enjoy it.

"Why is Wen Ruo looking for Qing?" Ruan Qing put down the tea cup and asked.

Xun Yu smiled helplessly, "Now that you and I meet, we can no longer just chat and have nothing to do like before."

"There is no way." Ruan Qing bent his index finger, flicked the cup lightly, and made a soft sound, he sighed, "Xun Lingjun is in charge of the affairs of the court, and Ruan Qing is in charge of the paperwork of the prime minister's mansion. The offices are separated from each other. Far away, with little free time."

Xun Yu shook his head with a smile, as if sighing something, he said slowly, "Today, I really want to ask Muer for something."

"This is the first time you've asked me." Ruan Qing put her hands on her lap obediently, and sat upright, "What's the matter?"

"I beg Mu Er, if one day in the future, the Prime Minister wants to be unfavorable to His Majesty, I hope Mu Er can dissuade the Prime Minister and keep His Majesty safe." Xun Yu said, "No matter what, Your Majesty, he is always His Majesty the Great Han."

Ruan Qing vaguely noticed something was wrong, he looked at Xun Yu carefully, and asked vigilantly, "How do you say these words?"

"It's just that I feel that the Prime Minister is no longer the former Prime Minister." Xun Yu sighed with emotion, "Perhaps one day, Yu will also be rejected by the Prime Minister, and he will no longer be able to do anything for His Majesty. No longer...can't protect His Majesty... The prime minister is no longer just a prime minister. At that time, I am afraid that the prime minister will no longer be able to tolerate your majesty."

Ruan Qing understood.Xun Yu was worried, worried that Cao Cao's title would rise step by step, and in the end, he would fall short of the throne.And one day, he would attack the emperor for his own pursuit.

"How does Wen Ruo know that Qing will be able to persuade the lord?" He couldn't help laughing and asked, "Qing is no longer the former Master Ruan. Now, he just stays in Xuchang."

This seems to be a complaint.Complained that Cao Cao left him and no longer kept him by his side all the time.Complaining that Cao Cao has long treated him differently.

This is his own business, so he shouldn't talk about it.But facing Xun Yu, he still thought he could persuade Cao Cao.He couldn't help it for a while, and said it.

Like a clam that silently swallows and hides all its grievances in its heart, one day it finally couldn't help it, opened its shell slightly, and wanted to reveal some emotions.

"Mu'er." Although Ruan Qing's tone and expression did not show weakness at all, Xun Yu could still hear Ruan Qing's grievance.

He looked at Ruan Qing with calm eyes.It's like the old plane trees in the courtyard, full of vicissitudes, and bathed in the afternoon sun with no one, revealing boundless silence.

"We are getting old." Xun Yu's voice was calm, but when he listened carefully, he felt helpless and helpless, "Everyone is getting old. Even the prime minister is getting old. After Feng Xiao left, only the young ones remained. You are alone."

Hearing Xun Yu mention Guo Jia, Ruan Qing seemed to understand something in a daze.But he didn't want to believe it, he refused to make a sound, pretending that he didn't understand.Just bowed his head and fiddled with the teacup.

Xun Yu sighed softly, "You don't have to play dumb. You understand."

His tone was soft, but he said words with extremely heavy meanings, "The prime minister wants to be alone in you after a hundred years."

So Cao Cao can have countless close servants and countless pillows by his side, but you can't be the only one.Cao Cao is slowly stripping you of your dependence on him.

Ruan Qing understood the meaning this time.In an instant, he understood why Cao Cao didn't reject his overtures, but he no longer wanted to get close to him.

He didn't refuse his overtures because he was thinking of his previous affection.He is no longer willing to get close to him because he must learn to be alone, must adapt to the future when Cao Cao is no longer by his side, and must get used to Cao Cao being completely separated from his life.

He couldn't help sneering, his eye sockets gradually became sore, and a layer of light appeared.

That's it again.It turned out that his lord had arranged for him again.

He breathed a sigh of melancholy, and looked at the lush branches and leaves in the garden.I vaguely recalled that it was also this season when he left Xuchang more than ten years ago.

He seemed to understand why Cao Cao wanted him to join the Cao family when he came back.

Because he has a relationship with the royal family, if Cao Cao wants to leave him alone in the future, facing the world, it is inevitable that someone will find out his taint, and if he fails to do so, he will find out his background.If he joins the Cao family, he will be tightly tied to the Cao family, and no one will think about his origin.

However, no matter how lonely he is, how far away he is, whether he is looking for a clan, these are never what he wants...

"I don't believe you." He looked at Xun Yu, his eyes were as cold as the snow in Tianshan Mountain, "I don't believe you. You are as annoying as Guo Jia."

No matter when, facing any bad words, Xun Yu would not care.He just looked at Ruan Qing quietly and didn't speak.

Ruan Qing couldn't help complaining, "You already knew that the lord had this intention? Then why did you make me think that the lord wants me to be on the throne?

You were afraid that I would endanger your majesty, so you lied to me, misled me, and made me leave Xuchang willingly, and missed the lord for many years.You clearly know that I am not dead, so why do you just watch Guo Jia introduce Yuan Qing to the lord? '

Ruan Qing felt so resentful and sad.

He kept all his emotions in his heart.Wrap yourself in makeup like an ordinary person.But no matter how big the container is, it will overflow one day.

"do you know."

He sneered, but the tip of his nose was red, and the water in his crooked smiling eyes seemed to be about to shed tears in the next moment.

but none.He just smiled indifferently, and said, "When you first came, I hated you very much, because you went in and out with the lord. Later, the lord said, you can't do this, you have to get along well. So I started to try my best to remember Your benefit.

Later Guo Fengxiao came again.I just told myself, the lord said, we have to get along well, I can't make trouble for the lord.

It was Guo Jia who brought Yuan Qing here, and he knew that I was still alive.You and Guo Jia are in the same group.It's with that emperor.I don't believe you. "

Ruan Qing's eyes suddenly darkened, as if ice had turned into water droplets, soft and helpless, "My lord, he can't leave me alone. I can't be without me in his future life plan."

These words were said word by word, solemnly emphasized, as if they were extremely certain.But Ruan Qing seemed to have a big hole in her heart, and was completely cooled by the cold wind.

Even he himself didn't believe this.

Xun Yu looked at him with a slight smile in his eyes, like a kind elder watching a young child repeatedly stressing the ownership of the candy in his hand.

Ruan Qing suddenly panicked, "Don't you believe it?"

"It's getting late." Xun Yu said, "Yu has already said his words, whether to do it or not is entirely up to Moore."

"I don't believe what you say." Ruan Qingteng got up and stared at Xun Yu fiercely, feeling a little flustered.

"He won't leave me behind. It's absolutely impossible for him not to consider me in his future. It's all your own imagination." After finishing speaking, he walked away quickly, with the corners of his wide sleeves and robe billowing with his footsteps. There was infinite panic.

Xun Yu quietly watched Ruan Qing's fleeing back, and sighed softly.Looking at the trees outside the pavilion, the branches and leaves are getting more and more green.

Year after year, the vegetation here is always like this, sprouting, flourishing, and withering.The cycle of seasons never changes.

He accompanied Cao Cao all the way, and finally reached a different road. Now the garden is full of prosperity, but he has already entered late autumn.

The separation and separation of the country and the separation, after all, belong to the youth.These old people should also leave the stage one after another.

He was loyal to the Han Dynasty all his life, and in the end, he could not assist His Majesty until the end.

When the news of Xun Yu's death came, Ruan Qing was in the prime minister's office and Cao Pi, who had come to see him, was reviewing Xuchang's military defense for the past six months. At this time, Cao Cao was about to lead his troops back to Xuchang City in a few days.

"Go down." Ruan Qing lightly waved back the boy who came to report.Continue to talk to Cao Pi unfinished.

"If the lord asks, you just tell the truth. The lord just asks you, but he knows it in his heart. If there is a punishment, you can pretend to be on yourself, saying that you are not strict in supervision, and if you praise it, you have to give it all. The credit rests on others. You are the eldest son, and my lord most wishes to see that you are responsible for everything..."

While talking, Ruan Qing's voice suddenly choked up, he stopped talking, lowered his head, and covered his face with his hands.

Cao Pi looked at him quietly, knowing that he should not say anything more at this time.

The room was silent, with the rustling of leaves coming in from the breeze blowing through the window.This yard is usually very quiet. The trees in the yard have been nested by magpies at some point. At this moment, the chicks that have not hatched for a long time are nesting together without worry, chirping and chirping.

Tears slowly overflowed from between the fingers and flowed on the back of the thin hand.Ruan Qing never made a sound, only his thin shoulders trembled slightly, which made people vaguely see his sadness at the moment.

"I should have guessed it." Ruan Qing pressed her lips against her palm, her voice was hoarse and wet, "but so what if I guessed it?"

He understood that Cao Cao had long planned to become a noble, and this time he came back, he must go further, but Xun Yu was the most stubborn stone blocking the road, so Cao Cao made up his mind to get rid of Xun Yu this time.

It was reported from Xun Yu's mansion that he died of illness, but the veterans of them all understood how Xun Yu died.

This pure and pure gentleman finally did not escape the political vortex, stuck to his original beliefs, and was buried in this city of Xuchang.

He should have guessed it when Xun Yu was looking for him. At that time, the other party had already made up his mind to die.But he pretended not to understand anything.

He knew that only when Xun Yu died would the courtiers who defended the Han Dynasty be leaderless.He couldn't persuade Cao Cao, and he couldn't shake Xun Yu. It was the best choice not to intervene.

After all, he also turned into the most fearful indifference of his youth, watching Xun Yu, who had helped him a lot, go to death step by step, but he was unwilling to stretch out a finger, even if he tried, he was unwilling.

It has been 18 years since Jian'an, and those veterans who supported each other along the way finally disappeared at some point along the way...

The old man is like a tree in the garden, every day the autumn wind slacks away.

It took a long time for Ruan Qing to put down her palm, except that her eyes were a little red, she couldn't see anything wrong.

Cao Pi did not speak during this period.

"When will my lord come back?" he asked.

"The letter said, five days later." Cao Pi said.

"En." Ruan Qing replied, "Don't take the initiative to mention this matter to the lord, and don't interfere too much. It's sad. When the lord asked about it, he only sighed for the hard work of Xun Lingjun in the past, or for teaching you. En is good. Others, don't say a word..."

"Yes." Cao Pi nodded.

"And Cao Zhi..." Ruan Qing was stunned, his eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something, and he said after a while, "Forget it, don't worry about him. Yang Xiu is usually very self-reliant, and he never knew the path of the past. If he pushed Cao Zhi to say Something, I'm afraid it won't suit the lord's mind, and it will attract disgust.

These are not things you should consider.Cao Zhi is full of talent, so it is inevitable to be unrestrained.You just need to be cautious on weekdays, and be more cautious.The lord doesn't say anything, but he understands everything in his heart. "

Cao Pi nodded, "I would like to follow Mr.'s instruction."

"Go back." Ruan Qing said, "After working hard for half a year, don't make mistakes in the last few days."

When Cao Cao came back, he heard that Xun Yu had died of illness, so he went to the mansion to express his condolences.Because I thought of the past, I took Ruan Qing with me.

Looking at Cao Cao who was slapping on Xun Yu's coffin, crying loudly and hoarsely, Ruan Qing silently looked away and looked at the white smoke continuously curling up from the incense burner on the table.

There was a small choked sob in my ear.It turned out that the blood relatives in Xun Yu's mansion became sad again when they saw Cao Cao like this.

Obviously it was Cao Cao who forced Xun Yu to death, but now he is acting like this again.

He knows Cao Cao too well.Cao Cao has always been like this, very emotional and emotional.But how much of this relationship is true and what is false is intriguing.This person can't eat because of the grief of Xun Yu's death, but he forgets that the one who ordered Xun Yu's life is himself.

What Cao Cao buries under his sensibility is his frightening rationality, which can remove obstacles without blinking because of conflicts of interest.

The whole room was crying, only Ruan Qing, sober as an outsider, looked at everyone's joys and sorrows.

Looking at Cao Cao's back lying on the coffin, he suddenly felt a little chilled.

Only now did he realize that after following Cao Cao for many years, it seemed that he had never understood Cao Cao.Maybe Cao Cao's nature has not changed, but he was too young and superficial before, so his understanding of Cao Cao has always been the tip of the iceberg.

Just like he used to think that Cao Cao issued the order to garrison land for the refugees to live and work in peace and contentment. He always thought it was a matter of benefiting the people and raising the army, so he ignored the taxation.Cao Cao's taxes have always been heavy, so heavy that the common people can't bear any famine.

These were things he had never understood before.

Maybe Cao Cao hasn't changed much, what has changed is him...

On the way back, Ruan Qing kept refusing to have any communication with Cao Cao, including sight.

Cao Cao probably noticed that something was wrong with Ruan Qing, so after returning to the mansion, he called Ruan Qing to the study and waved everyone away.

Yuan Qing left with the crowd, but turned back halfway and hid outside the door to eavesdrop.

Cao Cao wanted to hold Ruan Qing's hand, but Ruan Qing stepped back a few steps to avoid it.

Cao Cao stared at Ruan Qing carefully, and made a judgment, "You are afraid of being alone."

"No." Ruan Qing kept her eyes down, and said calmly, but her heart couldn't stop beating wildly.

He was afraid of Cao Cao. After realizing that he had never really understood this man, but suddenly understood the cruelty of this man in front of Xun Yu's tablet, he began to be afraid.I was afraid that one day I would end up like Xun Yu too.

After all these years of working in dirty schemes, he is too aware of the fickleness of a king.In front of Longtu Baye, any personal relationship is so pale and powerless.

"Don't be afraid." Cao Cao took Ruan Qing's hand with an undeniable forceful attitude, so that he could not back down, then stroked his cheek reassuringly, and said, "I will live up to you in this life alone."

In this life, live up to...

Ruan Qing raised his head suddenly, his pupils trembled slightly, and looked at Cao Cao in shock, as if he couldn't believe it. Soon his heart beat rapidly again, and he answered softly with his lowered eyes, "En."

The redness at the tips of his ears betrayed his excitement at the moment.

He understands the fickleness of a king.But in the face of Cao Cao's gentle promise, he still couldn't turn his head and stumbled into it. Even if it was a trap, as long as it was what Cao Cao said, he would be happy.

He felt like an insect breaking into a huge spider web, stunned by anesthesia, he didn't even struggle, and he didn't think about the danger behind him, he just wanted to be intoxicated in the present moment.

When Yuan Qing heard the words in the room, his eyes widened first, and then there was viciousness in his pupils.Suddenly he seemed to think of something, sneered quietly, straightened up, glanced contemptuously at the door, and left silently.

The author has something to say:

Recently, I like listening to operas. "Weiyang Palace" is really good. If you have a chance, you can listen to it.

Yuan Qing, "Hi everyone, I'm going to start being a demon again."
