[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Cui Song's face was already stiff.

Because he wanted to maintain a calm expression for a long time, the muscles on his face became stiff instead.

A man with a well-trimmed mustache was sitting kneeling opposite him, with his sleeves swaying to the ground, his expression solemn, and he was babbling words he couldn't understand slowly but continuously.

Cui Song was stunned for a long time before he found a clue from the man's words and deeds, and realized that the man was probably talking about the essentials of Confucianism.

Not to mention that Cui Song half-understands the old sayings, even if they are translated into vernacular, it is like a holy book to him, a science and engineering student studying water conservancy engineering.

It's just a pain in the ass.

However, he still has to act like he is very interested, nodding from time to time to express his approval and approval;

In fact, I don't know where my mind has gone.

How did it end up in this inexplicable situation?

Cui Song racked his brains to recall.

He didn't seem to be doing anything other than a lavish trip to the spa for a hydromassage.

At that time, he was sitting by the edge of the hot spring, with a professional masseuse behind him pinching his chiropractic, and he was enjoying it with his eyes closed. Suddenly, the strength behind him disappeared.

He didn't understand why the masseuse stopped suddenly after pinching it well, without opening his eyes, he only urged: "Continue."

Keep pressing, don't stop.A few days ago, my muscles were sore from playing too much, but the pressing just now was extremely sore.

As a result, the sourness of the massage did not come, but the sourness of shock came one after another.

"What else do you want to hear, uncle?"

……

Where did the thick male voice come from?

Cui Song opened his eyes abruptly, the exquisitely decorated hot spring pool and the delicate masseuse were gone, replaced by antique decorations and a handsome guy with a goatee.

Cui Song almost blurted out "Who are you", but the sudden change in the environment made him shut up vigilantly, and lowered his head to check himself.

The black dark clothes, the toga with big sleeves, the wide belt around the waist... and the white and slender hands stretched out of the sleeves, which are like works of art, all show that this is not his original body.

Through.

This word that has been badly written in modern times rushed into his mind at the first time.

After waiting for Cui Song's reply for a long time, the handsome bearded man raised his eyes in confusion: "Uncle?"

Cui Song was hit by the second dull lightning.

To be called uncle by an uncle with a long beard... Could it be that he is dressed like a bad old man?

This answer was quickly dismissed.

Because the voice of this body is very young, as if it has just passed the voice change period.And these good-looking hands are not like what the elderly can have.

Cui Song settled down, and pretended to be indifferent nodding.

"You start from the beginning."

Then Cui Song sat on his knees and listened to his cheap nephew explain the Six Classics for an hour.

He was so regretful that his intestines would flow out.

I wanted to take the opportunity to obtain some useful information, but what I did not expect was a mental torture.

But this was his own request, and he had just arrived, and he didn't know what was going on with the original owner, so he didn't dare to interrupt rashly, so he could only endure this wave of mental damage.

But his heart is broken.

Especially when the cheap nephew finished speaking, he bowed his knees and put on a gesture of "asking for advice" and "all ears".

Cui Song really wanted to know if it was too late to feign amnesia on the table.

Fortunately, at this time, two maids wearing curly trains walked in, one of them was holding a black and red lacquered plate with a small wine jug and two wine bottles with auspicious beast rings on it; Together, small cases of equal arm length and width.

"Master Ji Gui, would you like some snacks?"

Wearing a tooth-coloured train and a black bun, the maid walked over to the cheap nephew, moved the original desk, and placed the small desk for dinner.

Another maid with a curly train in Xiangse color came to Cui Song's side, and offered him drinks, and the beaded steps on her bun swayed from side to side: "Young master, what do you want to use?"

Cui Song didn't know what to eat in this era, so he could only say "as usual".

The two maids came in time, not only gave him time to breathe, but also told him the name of the cheap nephew.

Young Master Jigui, Cui Jigui.

...Why does this name sound familiar?

I couldn't think of it for a while, and Cui Song didn't think about it again.

He observed Cui Jigui's drinking posture carefully, drew a ladle in the same way, folded his sleeves with one hand, raised the wine bottle with the other and drank it down in one gulp.

Perhaps it was because the original owner's instincts were still lingering in his body, this series of movements flowed smoothly without stagnation, showing a chic posture.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Cui Song calmed down a bit, looked around the room calmly, and secretly wondered which dynasty he had passed through.

Kneeling and sitting on the ground, eating separately, it must be before the Tang and Song Dynasties.Although the Hu bed had already appeared in the Han Dynasty, it was basically kneeling, and the real popularity of chairs was in the Tang Dynasty.

And according to the theorem that the older the dynasty, the less fancy the food, Cui Song has already made preparations for eating cornbread, wanting (food) immortals (not wanting to know) death (taste).

For example, the glass of wine in his hand is mild, but also sour, it tastes like vinegar mixed with water.

Closer to home.

With the buffer just now, Cui Song made a draft in his heart, ready to say something to the cheap nephew.

After all, I was brainwashed by the ancient language for an hour, and now I can easily use these groups of words to make sentences.

First, Cui Song speciously praised Cui Jigui's argument just now (although he didn't understand a single sentence), then "modestly" said that he was not talented enough to give any constructive advice, and finally the parents made a short talk , pulled out a few pieces of useful information.

Summarized as follows.

1. The original owner of this body has the same name as himself, surnamed Cui and given name Song. He is 18 years old this year.Because it has not yet been crowned, there is no table word yet.According to the evaluation of the villagers, the original owner "taught a famous teacher and was quite talented", and the cheap nephew in front of him seemed to "respect him quite highly".

……

Having reached this conclusion, Cui Song had a bad feeling.People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. He is an illiterate and pretends to be an ancient intellectual, and he is still a well-known intellectual... No matter how you look at it, he is a big Flag?

2. This cheap nephew named Cui Jigui is the son of the original owner's eldest brother, who is nearly 10 years older than the original owner.

Cui Song didn't have a particularly big reaction to this point.The ancients paid attention to many children and many blessings, and early marriage and early childbearing.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave birth to Liu Fuling in his sixties, so it is not surprising that he has a nephew who is older than himself.

3. It is the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping, and the coordinates are Luoyang.

Wang Cuisong of the Science and Technology Institute said that although he has read a few history books, they are all read as stories, and he has never paid attention to details such as time.What year is the sixth year of Zhongping?

Moreover, the emperor's posthumous titles were all given after his death, and they were collectively called His Majesty and Son of Heaven during his lifetime.He can't say suddenly, "What is the name of the emperor, and what is the posthumous title of the first emperor?" How can he know which emperor is currently reigning?

Headaches, 1 headaches.

Fortunately, at this time, the maid who he regarded as a godly assist came again.

"My lord, your letter."

It is said to be a letter, but it is actually a bamboo slip, tied into a cylinder shape with a red string, and packed in a wooden box with a double fish carved on it.

Cui Song unfolded the bamboo slips, and the official script characters on them made him confused again.

Fortunately, the difference between official script and modern Chinese characters is not very big, and the original master's instinct of knowing characters is still there. When I read it again, Cui Song can recognize every character on the bamboo slips.

The beginning is "Letter with Cui Di" (a letter to Cui Di). The main text explains the other party's recent situation, expresses his greetings to the original owner, discusses academic issues, and implicitly reveals the feelings of longing between friends.

At the end of the bamboo slips, there is an inscription, which reads "Xihuan Dunshou".

This Xihuan should be the name of the friend of the original owner.From the letter, we can see that the relationship between the two is very good. Xi Huan is five years older than the original master, and now he is studying in Yingchuan.

Regardless of etiquette or practical considerations, Cui Song must answer this letter, and answer it seriously.

However... if you want to reply to the letter, the address is a big problem.

In ancient times, "name" and "character" were two different concepts.Because the ancients often called their own "name" modestly and called others' "words" respectfully.Therefore, Xi Huan's Huan is obviously the other party's "name", not the other party's "character".In the same way, if Cui Song wants to reply to Xi Huan, he must address Xi Huan by his "word".You must know that in ancient times, it was a kind of respect to call people by "words", and it was a very rude behavior for peers to call them by their first names in person.

Cui Song has no "character" because he has not been crowned (in ancient times, men were usually crowned at the age of 20, and they were considered adults after being crowned, so they could take their "character"), so Xi Huan can only call him Cui Di, but he cannot be called Xi Huan Xixiong——From the letters, the relationship between the two should be very good, but calling Xixiong seems a bit alienated.And... Xixiong, Xixiong, such a hooligan title, he really can't say it.

Cui Song put down the bamboo slips calmly, and decided to start with the cheap nephew again, and pry out some useful information by tapping around.

"Brother Xi Huan, what does Ji Gui think?"

Cui Jigui didn't doubt that he was there, he sat upright and said:

"Zhicai, although he has a surly personality and is ridiculed by the vulgar, but he has the talent for life, which can be compared with the great ancestor Chen Ping."

Chen Ping, the counselor of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and a conspirator as famous as Zhang Liang.

It can be seen how high Cui Jigui thinks of Xihuan.

But Cui Song was not shocked by this.

Just as he just thought, the ancients often use "name" to be self-effacing, and "character" to honor themselves.

Cui Song asked about "Xihuan", but Cui Jigui called it "Zhicai"... It can be seen that "Zhicai" is Xihuan's "word".

Cui Song is going to explode right now:

Fuck!Xi Zhicai!Cao Cao was an awesome strategist in the early days!Do not lose to the wizards of Guo Jia and Xun Yu!

This person is not mentioned in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it is mentioned in the official history "Three Kingdoms".

It was precisely because of this man's early death that Cao Cao lost a great counselor and asked Xun Yu for advice, so he got Guo Jia.

I didn't expect this person to have friendship with the original owner!

Unexpectedly, I actually traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Because the wild history said that Xi Zhicai is called Xi Zhong, when he saw the name Xi Huan just now, Cui Song didn't think about Xi Zhicai at all!

"Zhicai... Xihuan..."

Cui Jigui gave Cui Song a strange look: "'Zi said, Huan has a lot of articles, and he is talking about Zhicai', my uncle once praised Xi Zhicai for this, what's going on today..."

Cui Song: ...What should I do if the original owner seems to be very educated.

Cui Song suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and felt that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would reveal his secrets.Now he is like an illiterate villager, being forced to act as a cultural person with a master's degree by a knife around his neck.

But he doesn't know any of the ancient poems and songs, and quotes from the scriptures.

At this time, Cui Song suddenly remembered that since Wang Mangzhi's usurpation, men in the Eastern Han Dynasty seemed to have single names, so their "names" were often one word, such as Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.Two characters...not the status of a pariah, but someone's "character", right?

So... Cui Jigui's "Jigui" is actually the "character" of cheap nephew, not his "name"?

However, history books often record "name", and I don't know what Cui Jigui's "name" is. Don't tell him that this cheap nephew is also a great big shot.

As soon as he thought about it, the cheap nephew gave him a knife.

"Yan thought that the ability to be talented..."

Yan...

Cui Jigui... Cui Yan...!

——Cui Yan? ! !

That celebrity from the Three Kingdoms, Cui Yan, who is said to be so handsome, but has the face of the director of the teaching department all day long, and even Cao Cao is a little scared when he sees it? !

The author has something to say: If Cui Song closed his eyes and said: Go on, pinch my feet.

Cui Jigui: ……………

Regarding the issue of bamboo slips... According to the information I found, although Cai Lun improved papermaking techniques in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the real popularity of paper was in the Jin Dynasty.

PS: Xi Zhicai’s name is not recorded in history. When it is said that it is Zhicai, it is his name... The name Xihuan was made up by me. =3=
