I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 257 How to enter and leave the house
When faced with Liu Bian's question, even though he was as smart as Cai Yan, he couldn't think of an answer for a while.

Obviously, Zhao Ji is better at liberal arts.

When Cai Yan saw Liu Bian asking questions confidently, he couldn't tell that Liu Bian must already have the answer in his mind.

She did not ask Liu Bian immediately, but continued to think hard.

Dong Heng once lived in the border areas with his father Dong Cheng. He was not timid. Hearing this, he came up with a good idea - to kill the elephant and weigh it in pieces. However, when she saw Cai Yan and Tang Wan, who were older than her, they didn't say anything. I came up with such a simple idea, but I didn’t dare to speak out about it for a while.

Tang Wan had some insights in poetry, but she was completely confused when it came to the problem of describing images. She couldn't figure it out herself, and seeing that neither Cai Yan nor Dong Heng could figure it out, she was the first to turn to Liu Bian for help. .

Liu Bian asked around again, including Bi Lan waiting beside him. The latter had just selected the addresses of several government-made bamboo and paper workshops not long ago, and had returned to take over the West Garden not long ago.

Seeing that Cai Yan and Dong Heng were both shaking their heads, Liu Bian put one hand behind his back, stood facing the wind, and spoke out the answer.

"Put the elephant on the boat, leave a mark where the water mark is, then weigh the object and carry it on the boat so that the water mark is the same as the mark, and you will know." After Liu Bian finished speaking, only Cai Yan Their faces looked clear, but Tang Wan and Dong Heng only looked at him with clear and stupid eyes, and then said, "Is there something unclear? You can give it a try."

Liu Bian came to Xiyuan this time to relax. There was already a repaired pool in the West Garden, and weighing the elephant was not a big, extravagant project. Of course, he didn't care to demonstrate it again.

This is already the third day of the feast.

Zheng Tai can't be seen like this, so why did he take advantage of the opportunity to become a member of the He Miao Mansion?

So the first place He entered was He Miao's General's Mansion.

At that time, he didn't have the worries he has now.

Now that he has gone through twists and turns, He Jin has a sense of returning to his original nature, yes, but not much, just a little bit.

But he can leave the house now, so he can't stay locked up like before.

Finally, He Jin finally figured it out. The former general became a former general, and his former officials became someone else's people after all.

At that time, he was just an ordinary butcher, and at most he was in charge of most of the slaughtering business in Nanyang County.

Even though this other person is his younger brother.

Bi Lan heard Liu Bian's words and immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

But He Jin always felt that something was missing compared to before. Faced with these old officials, there seemed to be a layer of estrangement between the two parties.

In fact, He Jin had obtained Liu Bian's permission some time ago. Although he was lonely and unbearable when he was released from the ground, he did not dare to contact an old friend like Zheng Tai rashly, and the facts proved that his decision was correct.

Then, He Jin discovered that his old officials were not disrespectful or unenthusiastic towards him, and their words were the same as before.

He Jin, who wanted to understand this, sighed and recalled his life before he was a relative.

So on the third day, looking at the people who came here to eat for free, it was full of people and bustling, but He Jin still felt lonely among them.

Just when Liu Bian was calling the elephant enthusiastically, He Jin was holding a banquet in the former general's mansion.

He Jin was not short of money. He was very quiet and thought about it. He remembered what he had done in Nanyang before. He simply held a banquet in the mansion. No gifts or money were accepted. Anyone who wanted to come could come and eat. The banquet lasted for three days. .

He Xian, on the other hand, was heartbroken and spent the money like water. Faced with his father, who never dared to talk back, he couldn't help but complain: "Father, I don't need to rely on these people to promote my reputation now. How many scholars in the world don't know how many of them?" Father? Father, if you think the house is free, why not go out more often? Why waste this money?"

After He Xian finished speaking, he saw He Jin's eyes immediately staring at him.

He suddenly returned to his quail appearance: "Whatever my father wants to do, my son will definitely support it!" He Jin smiled and patted He Xian on the shoulder: "My son is right, being a father is too leisurely! "

Since the eunuch can't be eliminated, he has to find a new target for himself.

It is best to do something that will make him famous all over the world as soon as it is completed, making him the leader of scholars both at home and abroad.

But He Jin couldn't think of the answer for a while.

He glanced at the eldest son again, who had a smile on his face because of his praise. This son could not be counted on.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao, who had won his heart deeply, returned to his hometown in Runan, and He Jin did not dare to contact him rashly.

He Jin hesitated and hesitated, and felt that he should ask his nephew to avoid being locked up in the mansion for more than a year because of something wrong.

Thinking of this, He Jin, who had originally left, waved his hand and called He Xian, asking, "Let me ask you, did the Queen Mother mention being a father when you last paid a visit to her?"

After that night, He Jin was a little hesitant to ask Liu Bian about this issue face to face.

……

In Yuan Wei's palace, Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji were sitting opposite each other.

Yuan Wei was a little angry because he sent someone to find Yuan Shu to come to his house for a while, but Yuan Shu refused.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Ji also frankly told what Yuan Shu said after coming out of Situ's mansion.

As the next generation patriarch trained by Yuan Wei for the Yuan clan in Runan, Yuan Ji does not think it is a good thing that Yuan Shu is disobedient to discipline now.

Although from a brother's point of view, he was actually a little pleased.

Yuan Wei snorted coldly when he heard this: "From now on, the money and food provided to him by the clan will be cut off... I don't believe it. With Yuan Gongli's flashy style, his salary can be used!"

Yuan Ji nodded. He knew that Yuan Wei's move hit Yuan Shu's sore spot, but he did not try to persuade Yuan Wei.

Although Yuan Shu won a lot of good reputation by relying on the great rule of Henan, and he himself went further and further in pursuit of good reputation, Yuan Shu had one shortcoming that he never changed, and that was his extravagance.

Yuan Shu did not practice it because frugality was also a good virtue among celebrities.

The salary of 2,000 dan is 9,000 dan plus 90 dan of grain per month, which is almost enough for a family of five for two years. However, it is necessary to support Yuan Shu and his family for three days. Five days is considered a saving.

However, the Yuan family was not short of money, and Yuan Shu had never been worried about money.

Yuan Ji could imagine that when Yuan Shu knew that he had been deprived of money and food, he couldn't stand the simple life, and his heart collapsed.

He recalled the pitiful way Yuan Shu cried, fussed and whined in front of him when he was a child.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Yuan Wei looked at it without saying anything, and asked: "You must have heard that Zhen Yan and Mi Zhu are asking about businessmen who have traveled to the Western Regions? What do you think?"

"I think the emperor probably wants to benefit from the trade routes in the Western Regions." Yuan Yi said, suddenly looking at Yuan Wei, "Uncle, you mean that I, the Yuan family, also want to have a hand in it?"
