The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 31
In March, the peach blossoms rained heavily, and a group of egrets came in the clouds.

On this day, on the official road from Yunmeng Mountain to Hanoi, a group of people came from afar.

The extremely majestic Sugai, riding on a tall ugly horse, walked majestically in the middle of the team, beside Cheng Yuanzhi, who looked like a big brother.

Zhang Yang was riding a yellow-haired horse on the other side, with a somewhat unhappy expression - the Zhang family he married was left on the mountain.

The three walked together.

In front was Li Er, a stocky figure riding an ugly horse, with a big package on his shoulders. While walking, he pressed his hand on the handle of his knife and looked around vigilantly.

The dogleg style can be seen at a glance...

For this reason, Cheng Yuanzhi told him many times, telling him not to be sneaky, but to have a dignified posture, like a loyal servant of everyone, a pawn of a famous family.

However, Xu Shili was used to being a thief, no matter how hard he tried, he always showed the appearance of an unscrupulous minion.

At the back of the team was a handsome, gender-neutral girl, dressed in white clothes, basking in the spring breeze, sitting lightly on a red horse and walking slowly.

While walking, the girl in white turned her head from time to time, looking reluctantly at the way she came from.

Cheng Yuanzhi turned his head and said softly, "Zhang Xiaoyu, are you reluctant to leave Yunmeng Mountain?"

"Why don't you go back..."

Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, not daring to look back.

The group of people traveled very quickly, and Tian Jiang arrived in Huai County at noon.

Huai County is the seat of Hanoi County, and Hanoi County is under Sizhou (Sili Xiaowei Department). This place is already within the scope of the capital, and Hulao Pass is not far across the river.

……

On the main street of Huai County, Yang Jun, a local, opened a teahouse, and he usually takes pleasure in commenting on others.

He has a pair of penetrating eyes. Ordinary people only need to look at it and listen to a word to judge whether this person is talented or not, and how successful he will be in the future.

But the villagers didn't believe him, so the business was relatively deserted. Only when outsiders passed by, the teahouse had some business.

Yang Jun knew the reason. He was from Huoxi County and moved his family to Huai County since he was a child. Most of the people in Huai County had watched him grow up. They didn't know how much he weighed. I just don't want to believe that there is a master who can ruin a person's future right under his nose.

Short-sighted, hum~
Thinking like this, Yang Jun leaned decadently on the wooden platform facing the window on the second floor, holding a teapot in his hand, and drank wildly from the spout.

The teapot is filled with wine...

Wine is also sold in the teahouse...

Selling dog meat with sheep's tricks is the basic practice of all businesses throughout the ages, and he is not exempt from it.

While drinking happily, Yang Jun's eyes lit up from the corner of his eyes, he removed the jug, and beckoned to the street downstairs:

"Guest officers, slow down, slow down!"

"Let someone comment..."

Cheng Yuanzhi reined in his horse and looked at the drunk scribe on the second floor wonderingly.

Yang Jun jumped down from the second floor with a thump, swaying his body, cupped his hands, grabbed the horse's reins and said:

"I'm Yang Jun, whose name is Jicai. I would like to invite you all to come in and have a rest."

"It's okay to talk about it, but the tea... ah, what about the wine?"

Cheng Yuanzhi frowned, leaned back, and tried to stay as far away from him as possible, so as not to be sprayed with alcohol all over his face.

Yang Jun stuck out his tongue and said: "A certain business, of course, is innocent, you get what you pay for."

You have to pay. Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head: "Forget it, it's important to hurry. I'm neither hungry nor thirsty right now."

After saying that, he had to take back the reins of the horse.

Yang Jun became anxious immediately, and said quickly: "Wait a minute, Gao Shi! I see that your Excellency is in a hurry and tired from the journey. Why don't you take a break and listen to the next sentence. If you are right, Gao Shi will pay exactly what you want, how about it?"

"What if you're not sure?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked him.

"Then you go yourself, and I will never take a penny."

"So, respect is worse than obedience."

Given the opportunity to eat and drink for free, Cheng Yuanzhi naturally had to stop for a while.

Everyone got off their horses immediately, Cheng Yuanzhi followed Yang Jun in and went up to the second floor, Zhang Yang and others stayed on the first floor for dinner.

The two sit down as guests and hosts.

Not long after, the food and wine were ready, Yang Jun pondered and said:

"Your Excellency enters from the north gate and goes south. You must go to Luoyang to seek an official."

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled without saying a word, as if willing to listen to the following.

Huai County extends in all directions, with gates in all directions. To the east is Jizhou, to the west is Hedong, to the north is Taihang Yunmeng, and to the south is Luoyang.

Moreover, Liu Hong has not been selling officials for a day or two, and the clothes he and his party are wearing are gorgeous and upscale, and it is not difficult for the other party to see this.

Yang Jun also realized this, pouted his mouth, carefully looked at Qi Cheng Yuanzhi's face, suddenly his expression changed, and he said in surprise:

"I've always been good at people's faces, and I judge people's futures. I'm separated from Runan Xu Shao in the north and the south. Today, I can't see your past. It's weird, weird."

"Your Excellency, Tianting Hengduan, should have died young, but now his luck is like a rainbow, soaring straight to the nine heavens, and he is in a state of boundless future."

"So, so..."

Cheng Yuanzhi laughed, and took over the conversation: "It's not right, so if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing?"

Yang Jun was taken aback for a moment, then clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Wonderful, very wonderful..."

The two chatted while eating, as if they had met each other and hated the lateness. They exchanged glasses and told their respective origins.

Cheng Yuanzhi told him his stage name "Yuan She", but he didn't mention his origin, only that he was from Hebei.

Yang Jun is about 30 years old, he has a good conversation, and has unique insights on current affairs and current affairs. Cheng Yuanzhi listens with great interest.

Hearing the key points, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two is quite a finishing touch.

It also made Yang Jun look at him with admiration.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yang Jun stopped his chopsticks and sighed.Put on a "you ask me why I sigh" demeanor.

Cheng Yuanzhi pretended not to see, and ate the food by himself.

He has always been such a person who has no winks and likes to tear down the stage...

Yang Jun waited for a while, but when "Yuan She" came to ask, he opened his mouth and said:

"My teahouse has an elegant style, delicious food and drinks, but usually the business is extremely deserted, and the door is empty. Only when foreign merchants and pedestrians pass by, does it get better. Brother Yuan, do you know the reason?"

Of course he knew that Cheng Yuanzhi stopped his chopsticks, thought about his words and said: "The world is restless, the people are barren..."

Yang Jun waved his hand: "Hey, brother Yuan's words are wrong. Where can ordinary people afford to eat in my teahouse? This teahouse was originally opened for celebrities and dignitaries!"

"Hanoi is adjacent to the capital, with rich assets and many celebrities, but they would rather cross the river to Luoyang or Runan, and listen to the high-level lectures of the famous scholars and Xu Shao, rather than stay here. Why is this?"

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled slightly, and said confidently, "I don't know."

The implication is, I know about this matter, and there are ways to solve it, but I won't tell you easily.

Yang Jun realized this in an instant, and immediately smiled brightly, persuading wine and food, becoming more and more enthusiastic.

After half an hour.

Seeing that the food and drink were almost exhausted, and the other party still refused to reveal a word, Yang Jun became a little impatient. He took out an ingot of silver from his arms, and slowly pushed it over from the table:

"Brother Yuan, please tell me frankly."

Cheng Yuanzhi stretched out his fingers, tapped some silver ingots, and pondered: "Brother Yang is asking for money? Or for fame?"

"It's a little bit of both."

"So, it's quite embarrassing, but it's not impossible..."

"Jun is willing to listen to high opinions."

Cheng Yuanzhi chuckled: "I have a plan, which can make you famous and rich, so..."

"What is it?" Yang Junteng stood up suddenly, with an excited and anxious expression, as if scratching his heart with claws.

This feeling is like listening to a book and hearing something cool, the other party slapped the wooden board and said, "Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next chapter to break it down."

It makes people want to flip the table anxiously.

"Yes, I have to pay more." Cheng Yuanzhi suppressed a smile and offered a price.

If you don't do it for nothing, who would think too much of money?
What's more, this matter is also of great benefit to oneself.

"Hey, mere money is a trivial matter, so hurry up and talk about it!"

It could be seen that Yang Jun was really in a hurry, Cheng Yuanzhi no longer played tricks, and narrated his thoughts and plans.

……

In the afternoon, the teahouse was still empty, and suddenly a giant copybook banner was posted at the door, which read, "Warmly welcome famous scholars of the Han Dynasty, the fourth generation and the third prince, the children of the Yuan family, the layman Yunmeng, and Yuan Chengshou to come to this building."

This banner quickly aroused the commotion of the local people and the attention of celebrities.

Regardless of whether he knew Yuan She or not, just by looking at this long name, he felt that this person must be extraordinary.

But this tone is too arrogant.

The common people who heard the news talked about it, and the opinions of the celebrities were surprisingly unanimous: I have not shown up for a long time, and now anyone can call themselves a celebrity, a layman of Yunmeng?

The Yuan family's children can't do it either!Are the children of the Yuan family still running out of food bags?

Not long after the banner was posted, the teahouse was already overcrowded and there was no room to sit.

There are those who come to have a look at the elegant demeanor, some who come to smash the scene, and some who come to watch the excitement.

Everyone wanted to take a look at the demeanor of this Layman Yunmeng.

It would be even better if he could be trampled into the mud and humiliated severely.

We are all literati, literati are aggressive, and literati look down on each other...

At the invitation of everyone, Yang Jun ordered people to build a high platform at the entrance of the store, as if to discuss the Tao.

Later, Yang Jun climbed up to the high platform and raised his voice: "Fellow folks and elders, layman Yunmeng comes to our store, let us witness his grace together, everyone applauds!"

After all, he took the lead in clapping his hands, and his palms turned red.

However, in all directions, the densely packed people were silent, and everyone's eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Yang Jun coughed in embarrassment and stepped back.

At this time, all eyes turned to the high platform.

Three people suddenly appeared above, a scribe in white and two book boys.

One of the bookboys is extremely delicate and handsome, with a swaying figure; the other bookboy is nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a leopard's eyes.

The contrasting images of the two book boys immediately caused strong discomfort to everyone.

The young man in white put down the qin, arched his hands gracefully, sat down by himself, and played the qin lightly.

So this is Lay Yunmeng, a piano player!

Absurd, outrageous, nonsense, child's play!
At the same time when everyone was stunned, these words came out of their minds.

Just as I was about to leave in a flick of my sleeves, I suddenly heard the sound of the zither, like whispers, like spring rain moistening crisps, falling from a high platform, touching my ears, my heart, and my soul.

Instantly calmed down everyone's irritable mentality, and even the celebrities who were mixed in and prepared to smash the scene all listened attentively.

Good music is suitable for both taste and taste, even beasts can understand it.

This is a new piece that no one has heard before.

Weeping and complaining, everyone was fascinated by it.

Soon, the song is over.

The audience was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of warm applause and admiration, and everyone asked to play another song on the stage.

Yang Jun looked at this scene with joy, stepped onto the high platform at the right time, opened his arms and said:
"Everyone, everyone! Come in and sit down. Layman Yunmeng has presented three songs today. Why don't you enjoy the music of nature while tasting wine and tea?"

"Get down, get down..."

"Who wants to listen to your nagging, we want to listen to the piano..."

"Shhhh~"

In an instant, countless headscarves, shoes, underwear, and foot wraps were thrown at Yang Jun. Debris flew all over the sky, but it did not affect the "Yunmeng layman" who was one step away.

After throwing away the things, everyone "cut" and went into the store to consume.

Yang Jun jumped off the high platform in embarrassment, followed the crowd into the teahouse, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Developed!This was the first intuition in Yang Jun's heart.

These three songs are definitely not cheap... This was his second instinct.

From then on, he will become rich and famous all over the world, surpass Xu Shao, be a master of Taixue, and be famous all over the world... This is his third intuition.

　Newcomers and new books, please collect, recommend, ask for everything...
