Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

    This year's Shangsi Festival is a good weather, borrowing the words of Wang Xizhi in the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" two hundred years later, it is called "the sky is clear and the air is clear, and the wind is gentle". It's a refreshing warmth with the aroma of waterside orchid.

    According to the old custom, the people of Luoyang went to Luoshui to carry out the ritual of eating and drinking. In the capital city at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, witches have disappeared. The so-called "Zao Si" has also changed from a primitive religious activity to a folk activity. Most people just use orchid dipped in water to dab on their bodies to make a wish to get rid of evil spirits; some people pay attention to ancient etiquette and take water baths in single clothes.

    The activities of the nobles are more elegant: spring walks, wine parties, poetry and fu.

     Taixue is located on the edge of Luoshui, occupying the most beautiful prime location. Even a high-ranking official like Sangong Jiuqing could not avoid borrowing a high platform from Taixue to hold a banquet. And among the students who came from famous families, they are also happy to use this opportunity to show their faces in front of the powerful, or to put it better, to promote their reputation.

    The three men today are Situ Han Yan, Sikong Sun Lang and Taiwei Huang Qiong.

    Han Yan and Sun Lang belong to the Liang Party, and Huang Qiong is the anti Liang faction. But no matter what their political stance, they had to sit and feast together on a scene like the last festival. The senior officials such as Jiuqing, Monk Shuling, Sili Xiaowei, Luo Yangling, and even the students who have not yet entered the officialdom also have their own camps, and the table has always maintained a turbulent situation.

    After several rounds of fine drinking and poetry, Han Yan threw the chopsticks away. The ivory and jade chopsticks were set off on the square black pottery plate and the sashimi as thin as cicada wings. It was very beautiful, but it couldn't attract Han Yan's attention. He leaned against the railing, tilted his head and looked down. Taixue is on holiday today, and the students are either on the feast or going out for a walk by the water, and then they go to the market for entertainment, so the school and dormitory are empty.

    In this context, an adult holding a young child and two servants, the master and servant entered the teaching area from the side door, which is particularly eye-catching.

    Although the first few buildings are open areas for holidays, but they can have the courage to come in, they are also rich or expensive.

    Han Yan became interested and looked down with a glass of wine. From a distance, he couldn't see the face clearly, but judging from his movements, it seemed that the child wanted to enter and watch, holding the elder's hand in front of him. Just by imagining it, you can see the appearance of a child acting like a spoiled child.

    "What is Bernan watching?" Sun Lang, who is also Liang Dang, came over and asked.

    "Look at that kid, very interesting."

    Sun Lang also saw the four masters and servants respectfully saluting towards the Taixue Building. He smiled arrogantly and said, "The etiquette is still a little bit like, maybe it's a poor and poor family, and the descendants can only pay homage to it if they can't enter the Taixue. The learning style in Gyeonggi is prosperous, and there are not a few people who want to learn, so what's so strange? "

    Huang Qiong coughed lightly: "It is a harbinger of virtue to know propriety at a young age, and to learn at a young age. Such people will not live in the low class forever." This is against Sun Lang. .

    The three men had a dispute, which naturally attracted the attention of most people. Han Yan hurriedly waved his hand to change the subject: "I said that kid is interesting. He only bowed to the statue of Dong Sheng, but bowed to the school and the library."

    "Wow."

    At the moment, several people twisted their beards and meditated.

    Sun Lang was born in the Beihai Sun clan. He guessed impatiently, and sent a servant directly: "Go, ask that kid why he doesn't worship the saint and worship the empty hall."

    The servant of the Sun family hurried off the high platform, ran to talk to the old man and the young man, and quickly turned back. "The child said: 'The virtue of a sage lies in knowledge and not in human face.'"

    Shang Shuling Chong Hao was the first to give a high-five and praise: "What a 'in the face of knowledge', I know who is the little Langjun!"

    Huang Qiong asked the servant of the Sun family curiously: "Whose family's little prince is that?"

    Beads of sweat ooze from the forehead of the servant of the Sun family: "The villain will ask again." After speaking, he ran down the high platform again. Sun Lang's face clearly showed a displeased look, this servant is not strong.

    The middle-level officials over there are asking Chong Hao one after another.

      , not much more."

      People at that time sought after child prodigies, and Kong Rong let Li and Huang Xiang warm the seats. These are all stories of this era. Regardless of whether the child's words and deeds are right or not, it is not bad to have such knowledge at such a young age.

    No outstanding talents appeared at the banquet today, everyone was just a little bored. The child prodigy is just right to be the talk of the year. Don't blame the scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty for gossip. In the era of lack of culture and entertainment, just talking can make people happy.

    Now, waiting for the servants of the Sun family to expose the prodigy's family background.

    The manservant came back, but his face was full of embarrassment: "Yes... It's Fei Tinghou and his grandson Cao Erlang."

    "Coax!"

    The crowd exploded, and I was bragging just now, but I didn’t expect it to be after the eunuch! Scholars have always looked down on eunuchs, whether they are scholars from the Liang Party or against the Liang faction, they all look down on eunuchs.

    "Haha!" Sun Lang glanced at Huang Qiong proudly. He still remembered that Huang Qiong gave the platform to the child.

      Han Yi is not as tall as Sun Lang, and he likes to be hostile to eunuchs to gain prestige on weekdays. Today, he was embarrassed to speak again.

    Sun Lang satisfactorily instructed his servant: "If you go again, you will tell the child: 'After the eunuch, do you dare to speak of virtue?'"

    Chong Hao's face changed immediately: "Dangtang Sangong, why are you embarrassing the child?" You are too ugly, Cao Teng and the Sun family belong to the Liang Party, so stepping on the same Party, I am the opposite The camp can't stand it anymore.

    Sun Lang laughed: "Cao Song does not dare to sit with me, let alone Cao Song's son?"

    Sun Sikong is too arrogant, many people don't like him, but they won't speak for the **** on this occasion, not everyone is as upright as Chong Hao. Only Huang Qiong, who has a high status and reputation, can sigh, shake his head, and express his emotions: "It's a pity."

    The third time the servant of the Sun family came back, his face was blue and white, as if he had knocked over the dye vat.

    "What did that kid say?"

    "He...he said..."

    "What did you say? Even if you scold me, say it, let us see the ugly state of the eunuch's house."

    The poor servant nearly stuck his head in the floor.

    "I tell you to say, not a word!"

    "He...he said: 'Before there was Taishigong, and then there was Cai Longting. Can't speak morality, is there a disabled person? Heart... a person with a disability?'"

    Tai Shigong refers to Sima Qian who wrote the "Historical Records", and Cai Longting refers to Cai Lun who improved papermaking. Both of them have suffered that knife, but who dares to say that they have no virtue? The last two sentences are even more direct questions. Those who are not qualified to talk about morality are physically eunuchs or psychological eunuchs?

    It's so cruel. It's almost like saying that Sun Lang is a psychological eunuch.

    However, the scolding is wonderful enough! Under the premise of Sun Lang humiliating young children for no reason, it makes people feel hearty. Someone couldn't bear it any longer, and took the initiative to toast Chong Hao: "This child is really a prodigy!" The first person spoke, and there was a second, a third... As you can imagine, it doesn't take until tomorrow, Sun Lang will pick it up by himself The deeds of his humiliation will spread in the capital circle. One is the grandfather of one of the three males, and the other is the little baby after the eunuch. The topic is absolutely hot.

    Sun Lang couldn't stay any longer, his face flushed red, and he threw a copper cup: "Beautiful words make color, not bad for the eunuch!"

    Zhong Hao replied with two words: "Haha."

    Sun Lang left the table angrily.

    Chong Hao ignored him and turned to look at Huang Qiong, the leader of the anti-Liang faction.

    Huang Qiong glanced at Han Yan, who was silent, and said slowly: "Marquis Fei Ting, a good **** of this dynasty. Treating scholars kindly is never before." Cao Teng himself would be ecstatic.

    Sitting at the banquet, too Chang Hu Guang, who is known as the tumbler of the court, his eyes flashed when he heard this, and his hand holding the wine glass was not put down for a long time. After he returned, he read and read Cao Teng's letter of worship in his study, and finally said to his servant, "You send my famous letter to Cao's mansion, and you said, ask Fei Tinghou to come to the mansion to talk."

    What they want to discuss is Cao Song's marriage.

    It is not difficult to understand why Cao Teng chose Hu Guang. Old Man Hu was born in a noble family, and is known for his smoothness and moderation. He is a rare neutral in the DPRK. Ten years ago, he became the third public servant. After many years of ups and downs, he took turns in the position of the third public servant and Jiuqing, but there was no disaster. The popularity is so good that both the Liang Party and the anti-Liang faction say he is a good man.

    Cao Teng wants to gradually alienate the Liang Party, so naturally he cannot choose a family marriage in the Liang Party, but if he chooses a radical anti-Liang faction, he will go too far and will be cleaned up by Liang Ji portal. A neutralist like Hu Guang is the ideal candidate. And once the Cao family proposes a marriage, with Hu Guang's character of not easily offending people, the possibility of rejection is basically very small, and even if it is bad, he will push a distant concubine out.

    Cao Teng's team has always been relatively stable. In Hu Guang's opinion, he is not a pig teammate. The only problem is the problem of door ranking. But rank is precisely the least important issue in political struggles.

    The result was not what Cao Teng expected.

    In the summer of April, Cao Song's follower chose the concubine daughter of the Huarong Hu family in Nanjun. Just waiting for the end of Ding's anniversary in early June, the marriage proposal process began. Compared with this major event that is about to change the Cao family, the apology gift that the Cao family sent to the Sun family was nothing at all.
