[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, after a while, Cao Chun and Sun Ce also stopped. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and then walked over slowly.

Xia Anran took the wooden knife passed by Cao Chun casually, and handed over a sweat towel. After Cao Chun took it, he wiped the dripping sweat. The two moved very skillfully and naturally.

Sun Ce, who had no one to pass the sweat towel, silently glanced at the smiling and motionless little friend, and had no choice but to shake off the sweat by himself.Seeing him like this, Zhou Yu finally turned around to look at him, and said with a smile, "Bo Fu wants Yu to pass you a sweat towel?"

Sun Ce saw that although he smiled kindly, he still shook his head knowingly when he thought of what he had done.

After arriving in Changyi City, in order to live with Cao Chun, Xia Anran’s new house was a bit smaller. After all, Changyi is the capital of Yanzhou, and the house price is naturally different from that of Dongjun, a small third-tier city. The real estate Cao Cao chose for the two was actually originally It is an old house of a wealthy family, but the original owner of this house has a title, if one person is rewarded alone, neither Xia Anran nor Cao Chun's official title can live in it.

So he had an idea, pretended to seal the corridor, opened a few more doors, divided a house into two, and rewarded them.

After repairing a few places, I couldn't find any faults. Therefore, it is obviously the home of two people, but the style is very similar. If someone looks down from a high altitude, there will be no disharmony at all.

It's late autumn now, the coolness is already deep, so naturally they can't sit down sweaty, Xia Anran urged a few people to change into dry clothes, four adult men and two children sat down together.

Xia Anran ordered barley tea for them.

Since he made barley tea, barley tea has become the Xia family's hospitality drink, especially in summer, the tea that has been suppressed by Jingshui has won unanimous praise from everyone.Now that the weather is cold, he boiled some hot water, put the fried wheat grains into it, and kept it there to keep warm, and poured it directly when he wanted to drink it.

The light tea fragrance, which is completely different from ordinary tea soup, rises from the cup. Zhou Yu looks at the hall. The autumn wind outside the hall is slightly cool, rolling up withered yellow bamboo leaves, but the interior is warm and dry. Thanks to the charcoal stove that Xia Anran built in the hall of the house.

This thing mostly appears in the north, so Zhou Yu, a southerner, is a little strange.

Seeing that it is made of wood, sprinkled with furnace ash, and a few pieces of black charcoal that are shining with red sparks are thrown on it, which looks a bit delicate.It has an iron chain at the top and is fixed to the roof.There is a hook on the chain, which is hooked to the kettle that is boiling barley tea. Obviously, the purpose of this iron chain is to adjust the distance of the hanging objects from the fire, so as to control the temperature.

Such an interesting design, Zhou Yu, who lives in the south and does not need a stove, thought so.

At this time, the charcoal fire was lit in the stove, several people sat around the stove, the hot tea in their hands conveyed layers of temperature, and a few golden oranges were placed on the table, embellishing the room, it was very bright and lovely, and the atmosphere was full The time seemed extremely relaxed and comfortable.

Sun Ce is easygoing and adaptable, which Zhou Yu has known for a long time, so he is not surprised at all. Why is it that Sun Ce, who is also clearly a southerner, now looks like he is used to life in the north.

I saw that he took out an iron tongs very skillfully, fiddled with the coals, and after a while, he pulled out a few chestnuts.

Seeing that Sun Ce, Xia Anran and Cao Chun got along very well and casually, Zhou Yu knew that they had a very good relationship. Sun Ce had a great personality and was very humorous, so he was very good at making friends. The guests Sun Ce brought to see them just the next day after arriving in Changyi obviously had a high status in Sun Ce's heart and they could be regarded as bosom friends.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu blinked his eyelashes a little. His eyelashes were long and straight, and with such a movement, a dark light was cast under the eyelids.

Sun Ce picked up the hot chestnuts without fear of being scalded at all. With his fingertips, he hooked the dark brown shell open. Through this gap, a burst of sweet breath rushed out.

He handed the chestnuts to Zhou Yu, and said to Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, come and taste these chestnuts. This is a special product of our Yanzhou. The taste is the best when the heat is still hot."

Zhou Yu blinked his eyelashes, and was so sensitive that he noticed the word "we" in his words. He glanced at him, then looked down at the chestnut in his palm.

Although dressed as a literati, Zhou Yu is also skilled in bowing and horses. His palms are full of calluses, so he is not too afraid of being burned. Seeing that Xia Anran and Cao Chun didn't care, he peeled them off and ate them. The chestnuts are fragrant and glutinous. I don't know how long it has been roasted, the mouth can be opened by the tip of the tongue, and then it is full of sweetness.

When he looked up again, he saw that Cao Chun was also stripping his son.

Seeing him bring a small plate over and squeeze the chestnuts one by one, Xia Anran took the chestnuts from the small plate and opened them along the gap, and put them in front of the two children.

The two cooperated very well.Seeing Zhou Yu's clear eyes, Xia Anran was a little embarrassed.

He didn't explain much, and Zhou Yu really didn't feel anything unusual, probably because they were a pair of brothers who had a good relationship. After all, this was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when friendship and basic love flew together.

Although chestnuts are good, they are easily indigestible. Xia Anran only gave the two children two and did not let them eat more. Instead, each of them stuffed an orange for them to peel and eat.

Because the food cleared the way, Zhou Yu was obviously not as restrained as he was at the beginning. After eating a few chestnuts, he restrained himself from eating more, and then took an orange. His method of peeling oranges is better than the two children. Few, I peeled one off in two or three strokes, the orange peels were still connected together, and the fingertips were not even stained with juice at all. The young boys couldn’t do it. The orange peels there were pitted, and because of poor control, the orange flesh It was also punctured, and the room soon swayed with the unique fragrance of citrus.

Seeing that the two teenagers showed a little bit of embarrassment, Xia Anran asked them to go back to the room to eat, and finish today's preview first.

"Preview?" Zhou Yu was a little curious about this term he heard for the first time, so Xia Anran explained it to him.

This is a learning method. Preview before class, so that you can know what you are talking about during the lecture. At the same time, because you have already thought about it during the preview, and you have doubts about thinking that will be resolved during class, this doubt will no longer be forget.

After class, with homework and review, you can remember nine out of ten of what you learn every day.

Combined with the quiz every few days and the big exam package every few months, so that the knowledge can be integrated and never be forgotten.

This is from the learning experience of Xia Anran, a student of later generations. Of course, he knows that there are many geniuses in this world who have the ability to remember their pictures, but he just wants to assign homework to them, even if he has to pay the price of marking and explaining the homework, he will never tire of it.

Before and after "Teacher's List", read and silently write the full text!

The two children, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, have no aversion to this learning mode. On the contrary, they enjoy it because there are clear scoring and evaluation standards during the exam. Obviously, this mode is suitable for two children who want to compete mind.

Because the memory of these two children is really strong, it is not a problem to memorize and write from memory, Xia Anran can only give them advice on the topic, and carefully adjust the direction a little bit as the study progresses.

It is also thanks to the fact that he has really gone through the imperial examinations, and many of the understandings of later generations about his ancestors have been imprinted by the times, and his thinking is more open, otherwise he will really be caught by these two progresses. The teenagers were hollowed out.

What laid the foundation for Xia Anran's thinking was modern equal education. Although he was in this era of monarchs and ministers, there was no such deep class division during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Even the biggest building restrictions were just regulations on land occupation , steps, height and other factors, far from the level of precise regulations on door edges and corridor patterns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

What's more, before this world, he lived in the world of Red Mansions.

But even so, sometimes when the three of them were discussing strategies, he would often be frightened by the extremely open-mindedness of these two children.

First is Zhuge Liang, his thoughts are free and unconstrained, gradually carrying Pang Tong's thoughts and sometimes letting go, Xun Yu, who came to find someone occasionally, heard the lessons of these three people at the door, often felt headaches, and finally gave these three people a lesson. After adding the two lessons of "Ritual" and "Fa", it was considered that the three people's little tails were cocked up and swaying.

Listening to this learning method, Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at Sun Ce who was still eating chestnuts. The latter met his gaze and silently averted his gaze

He thought to himself, this method of learning is indeed very good, but it is not suitable for people who don't like studying.

Sun Ce thought silently in his heart, reading a book or something, if you read two more lines, your head will hurt. If you have time to read a book, it is better to go to the battlefield to play a few more times.

It's a pity that reading is Cao Ying's regular routine, even Lu Bu has to complete certain reading tasks.

Every once in a while, Cao Cao would find out some military books and give them to his officers to study.If you don't seek mastery, at least you have to know a little bit.

Under such a high-pressure policy, Sun Ce's letter to Zhou Yu's family became more visible.

The two young boys bid farewell and left, leaving only four adults in the hall.

Xia Anran added tea for several people, looked at the handsome young man, "Gong Jin, have you found a place to live when you first arrived in Changyi?"

Before Zhou Yu could answer this question, Sun Ce said cheerfully, "Jing Xi doesn't have to worry. Since I invited Gong Jin, he will naturally live with me."

As soon as he said this, Xia Anran and Cao Chun were all watching. Sun Ce was different from Cao Chun. Cao Chun's tiger and leopard battalion had been established for some time, and the running-in was basically completed. It was only necessary to continue the daily training, so Cao Chun Only when there is no task can he keep commuting from six to four, but Sun Ce's subordinates, in addition to the more than a thousand people from his father's old army that Yuan Shu exchanged with Yuan Shu for the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and the 2000 infantry that Cao Cao allocated to him, in order to adapt to this situation. There are [-] people, and I have to adjust myself and them. These days, Sun Ce is too busy to go home, so he can only choose to live in the barracks.

That house is a standard bachelor apartment, referred to as a dormitory.

It was built by Cao Cao for the young officers in the Cao camp. There is a common canteen where meals can be provided, and there is also a bathhouse. A well was built in the bathhouse, and the well that Xia Anran made when he was in Chenggao was used to turn over the hot water. Raised, and the water channel would then feed into a pool through several copper pipes, which were all mounted on the stove.

Half an hour before the opening time of the bathhouse every day, there will be servants lighting firewood under the stove, and then the water will be heated as it passes through the copper pipes, and poured into the pool all the way. As long as the speed of pumping water is controlled, the hot water in the bathhouse can be kept. temperature.

The hot water is running water, and a few holes have been opened in four-fifths of the pool, and the excess water will be drained. Of course, the water will not be wasted, and it will be passed to the bathroom of ordinary soldiers next door. You can only take a bath with water, but it is still a hot bath anyway.

In this day and age, soldiers are not treated well, not to mention hot baths. In order to avoid catching a cold and getting sick, everyone washes as little as they can.

In this era, not to mention soldiers, even ordinary rich people rarely have the opportunity to take a hot bath, not only because firewood is expensive, but more importantly, they are afraid of catching cold.

So after taking a bath, the officers were repeatedly ordered to wait until their hair was completely dry before they could go out.

During this time, they usually lie on the fire pit.

Yes, just perpendicular to the copper pipe, there is a row of fire pits, which also use the heat of the stove.

After taking a bath, the soldiers can take off their clothes on the heated kang and enjoy the massage and treatment of the invited medical craftsmen and apprentices. At the same time, they can dry their hair by the temperature of the heated kang.

These are the benefits Cao Cao gave to his subordinates.

Because most of these generals claim to be pure men, pure men, and don’t take medicine for nothing - although Xia Anran doubts that they are really not just because they don’t want to take bitter medicine?

But in fact, after the diagnosis, it was found that most of these people had some problems that military generals must have, nothing more than degrees, such as the unavoidable blood loss, rheumatoid arthritis caused by riding against the wind, and long-term wielding of heavy weapons. Lumbar muscle strain is inevitable.

Xia Anran doesn't know how to heal, but he will inevitably get sick and injured in the red building, so he listened to the prescriptions of Chinese medicine acupoints and so on.

Needless to say, the prescriptions... It was in the Ming Dynasty that Chinese medicine was vigorously developed, and he had only seen processed medicinal materials, so he couldn't prescribe a prescription, but the acupoints were better. Most of the acupoints in Chinese medicine were inherited from " Huangdi Neijing, the acupoints he mentioned can be recognized by today's medical craftsmen.

When Cao Chun was still Shen Qi, he was often treated by a doctor. He probably wrote down the acupuncture points that needed moxibustion... But acupuncture in the Eastern Han Dynasty was indeed a bit scary. After all, what entered the body was only thick needles that were sterilized by fire. ……cough.

So he used another method.

Boil water with warm and nourishing medicinal materials, then soak the treated bamboo pot in it to boil, and then suck the sealed bamboo tube soaked in medicinal juice on the acupoints.

This action is to use the heat of the liquid medicine to create suction between the bamboo tube and the skin. First, it can have the effect of cupping, and second, it can somewhat allow the medicine to penetrate through the skin.

It's just that the dose is slight, but it's better than nothing.

Bamboo cupping is not suitable for taking too long because it is not as good as glass jars in later generations where you can see the inside, but it is better because the materials are cheap and easy to use, and any apprentice can operate it proficiently.

After a day of training, I lay naked on the heated kang. First, I was massaged to soften the tense muscles, and then I had a cupping session, and then I could compare with my colleagues to see who's cupping pot prints faded faster. I couldn't enjoy it more.

Although everyone comes from all corners of the country, there may have been hostile relationships in the past, but when they take a bath, the men are naked to brag to each other, chat, or gesture to each other, talk about their family history, and when it comes to rising, they are naked. A few times, chat more, communicate more, and the relationship will naturally get better and better.

There is nothing that can't be done in the bath together. If it doesn't work, then rub each other's backs. If it doesn't work, let's have a fight together!

That's why there are often military officers who obviously have their own houses, but still invite their colleagues to go to the military camp for a few days a few days a week.

Even Cao Cao sometimes left Yingying and Yanyan in the mansion to take a bath with his subordinates!

However, this bachelor's dormitory has a huge disadvantage, because the dining hall and bathroom are shared, and the dormitory is just a small single room, which is only enough to support a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe.

This is also the reason why most officers still have to move out after receiving their salaries, no matter how good the dormitory conditions are.

But at present, Sun Ce also lives in the dormitory. Of course he has his own home, but his home is in the city, and he has to run around every day to and from get off work. It's time to go home. If he really goes home, I'm afraid he will drag his ten-year-old brother to help him write!

In order to preserve his prestige as an elder brother, Sun Ce, Sun Ce firmly stated that we will live in the dormitory!Anyway, the neighbors are Lu Fengxian and Gao Shun. It’s really impossible for the three cobblers to get together and you copy me, and I copy you, and they can still spell out an article.

... To be honest, it was Lu Fengxian who had the better Chinese proficiency among the three of them. Sun Ce was also very surprised at this point, especially when he heard the latter sneered and said that he used to be the master book, Sun Ce was even more stunned.

Of course other people knew about his situation, so seeing Xia Anran's surprised gaze, Sun Ce hurriedly said, "It's just a transition. When I tell my lord, Gong Jin will be my lieutenant general in the future!"

As soon as he said this, the three people present paused for a while, Xia Anran pondered for a while, and said: "Bo Fu, although I don't know Gong Jinyu's talent as a leader, I still believe in your vision, but you are like this Is it a mistake to do it? Most of your accounts are General Sun’s former troops, let’s not talk about other things, just in terms of seniority, it’s hard for Gong Jin to overwhelm them.”

Sun Ce waved his hand indifferently. "Jingxi doesn't know that the position of deputy under Ce's account has been vacant until now because none of the other generals is willing to take up this position."

"Why is that?" Xia Anran was a little surprised, the lieutenant general of the first battalion can also take command duties when the main general is not around.Its treatment is second only to the chief general.It shouldn't be a... bad position, right?

Chief Sun Ce sighed and said, "That's right, who would have thought that? Among the thousands of soldiers under Ce's command, none of them wanted to be a lieutenant general because of those damned documents."

Seeing that Xia Anran was puzzled, he explained the tasks he had to do every week.He spoke angrily, not noticing Xia Anran's guilty conscience.

That's right, this rule was suggested by Xia Anran, Cao Cao made the decision, and Xi Zhi implemented it.

In fact, his idea back then was also very simple.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a shortage of military books.

Cao Cao has already been regarded as a well-read person. In addition to reading military books, he will also write some personal experiences for reference.

Xia Anran once met, and suggested to Cao Cao that although there are many large-scale battles, there are also many small battles, and there will definitely be some generals who will encounter some wonderful small battles, and they may also encounter some clever ideas the flash point.

It may be your own, or it may be the other side.If we don't record them and put them together in a book, we can share them as cases. The mistakes we made will not be repeated in the future. We can also learn from the superiority of the enemy.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to be able to use his spear and attack his shield in the future?

Cao Cao thought it made sense.

Later, it became a standard for performance appraisal.

Sun Ce didn't notice this, but Zhou Yu did, and he blinked slightly.

Over there, Sun Ce was still thinking about it, very sad and indignant: "Ce, in the Tiger and Leopard Camp, just needed to immerse himself in the battle. This kind of case analysis never needs to be taken care of. How could he think that when a new army is built, it will be better than training soldiers." It's even more of a headache for Ce! Don't let Ce know who is offering advice to the lord, otherwise Ce will definitely make him copy what I have written these days ten times!"

He gritted his teeth every word

"If you don't finish copying, you won't give him food!"

Xia Anran: Hmm...

He silently put his hand under the table in the gesture of peeling an orange.

He rolled his eyeballs and had a flash of inspiration, "Bo Fu, since you are training soldiers, why don't you write down this time as a record?"

"Huh?" Sun Ce, who just finished speaking angrily, stuffed a whole orange into his mouth and muttered, looked up at him, and saw that Xia Anran smiled sincerely, "My lord will definitely expand the army in the future. Soldiers will also come from all over the world, Bo Fu, the biggest problem you are facing now is the language barrier between the Yanzhou soldiers and the Jiangdong soldiers, right?"

Seeing Sun Ce nodded, Xia Anran continued, and he patted the table excitedly as he spoke, "Look, Bo Fu, you are the only one in Cao Ying who has this trouble. Although General Lu led his troops into the , but his account is also a northern soldier, and there is no discomfort after closing the account, and the problem you encountered is unprecedented in the barracks next to it!"

Seeing Sun Ce's bright eyes, he said bewitchingly, "Look, you will record the problems you encountered when joining forces and how to solve them one by one. Don't you just complete the mission?"

It makes sense!

At this moment, Sun Ce seemed to have opened the door. He touched his chin and showed a sly smile, "So I can still write like this."

"Yes yes yes."

"That's a lot to write about."

"That's right!"

The two were silent for a while, and Sun Ce suddenly looked over suspiciously, "Jingxi, it seems that Ce just didn't say what can be written in this report, right?"

"...Didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't say it!" Sun Ce nodded very positively, and he pulled out some things in his mind that felt wrong, "Ce has long thought that the style of this report is very strange... It's a mouthful, although I don't read much. , but it is true that I have never heard of this style..."

"..."

"I once heard Xun Wenruo say that Jingxi created a style of his own, saying: Explanation [Book]"

"Thinking about it carefully, the statement in this certain book is indeed Jingxi's style." Sun Ce's eyes were burning, and the way he looked at Xia Anran seemed to say: Me!Grasp!arrive!you!up!

Seeing this, Xia Anran let out a long sigh, feeling extremely melancholy, "Since that's the case, Anran doesn't have to hide it."

Sun Ce's eyes brightened. He felt that he was about to become the hero of those struggling to write their homework. He didn't expect that he was the first to catch this person.

Unexpectedly, Xia Anran glanced at him, his eyes were pitiful, "Bo Fu didn't know something, Feng Xiao was busy with official duties a few days ago, so he came to An Ran to help sort out the summary report,"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Ce's face turned green, but Xia Anran was no longer ready to save him face. He had to work hard to solve this problem. Today is a duel of fate, not your death If I die, he must guarantee that Sun Ce will not trouble him again in the future.

"To be honest, I was the one who returned your report with 16 typos circled."

Then, before Sun Ce rushed over to cover his mouth, he quickly finished the following paragraph in one breath, "Bo Fu, I suggest that you need to practice handwriting in addition to recognizing characters, your characters are so easy to recognize , and, next time, don’t use circles to replace unknown words.”

He met Sun Ce's fierce gaze and said slowly, "I heard from Wen Ruo that these reports will be bound into books in the future. In addition to showing the Lord, the generals will also learn from each other. If they are for those who join Cao Ying in the future The general saw..."

The corners of his lips raised, the corners of his eyes drooped, showing a harmless smile, "I'm afraid An Ran, Bo Fu will be forced by the lord to practice calligraphy in the future."

It can be said to be a one-hit kill.

After seeing off the languid Sun Bofu and the snickering Zhou Gongjin, Xia Anran smacked her mouth, turned her head happily, and saw Cao Chun slowly put down the teacup, knocking the cup on the table, There was a soft clicking sound, but Xia Anran was startled.

He could fool the unfamiliar Sun Ce, but he couldn't fool the familiar pillow man.

"Jingxi."

"Hey~"

Cao Chun smiled softly, with gentle arcs between his brows. He was so sure but helpless that he grabbed his partner's hand into his own and squeezed it. Xia Anran's hand was fleshy and soft when held, just like his temper Same.

"It's you." Cao Chun shook his head, stretched out his hand to bring him over and kissed him. Seeing that he was guilty and didn't speak, he smiled and said, "It's okay."

He said slowly, "It's time for them to read."

General Cao, who is all-rounder in civil and military affairs, said that there is no pressure to write a report.

The author has something to say: Today is a day when Cao Ying's civil and military pits. ,

The housing regulations of the Han Dynasty were not as strict as those of the later generations. I checked and it seems that there are indeed restrictions on the length, width and height. If there is any mistake, please point it out (cover your face)

That's right, the men's bathroom is a place to bond.

It is said that men compare their heights and heights in the bathroom... (Shut up) I was thinking when I was writing, they would definitely fight, so do they have small towels around their waists?I think should not be!Because there is no small towel at this time, hehehe

The sanitation of the army is really bad, but most of them sweat every day, and having bugs is... a normal thing. (Xia Miao jumped up in fright when she saw the fleas!)

In the history of the Three Kingdoms period, many plagues started from the military camps. The Han Dynasty was very hygienic (after all, they respected freedom) but did not include soldiers.

In fact, Sun Ce and Sun Quan didn't like to read books in history, including Liu Bei, but they couldn't help it later and were forced to read. You must have a common language with the advisers, right?In fact, when Cao Cao was young, he didn't like reading, but he liked to read miscellaneous books such as military books.Cao Cao may be the one who has read the most military books among the princes.

The author remembers seeing Sun Quan, the bear boy, asking Sun Ce to borrow money, and then go out to gamble or something, but if I look for it later, I can’t find this information.I just saw it at the time, so I don't know if it's true or not

The setting here is that Sun Ce is still young and does not want to study, but he will be forced to study in the future.

Cao Cao, he really has been persuading his subordinates to read more, and he will share his war notes.

Remember the instruction manual?When Xia Miao and Xun Yu first met in this world, they introduced Fengche.
