[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

The other scribe pretended not to hear the two men's maneuvers: "You are here to find Cao Sikong, right? We two don't want to bother you any more. Let's leave."

So he prepared to avoid the edge and run away early.

The other party wanted to leave, but Mi Heng didn't intend to let him go: "Why bother? I'm going to Cao Cao's mansion—"

Cui Song knew that Ni Heng had no clue, and what he said next would not be pleasant, so why would he let him go crazy here and offend Cao Cao completely?Cui Song clasped his arm, took the first step and said:

"I meant to visit, but you two are Sikong's staff? Can you recommend one or two for us?"

A "Ben" character perfectly takes over the sound of the last "Ben" character that Mi Heng had just been truncated.

Mi Heng took a look at Cui Song, swallowed the remaining half of the sentence "(I'm coming to Cao Cao's mansion) to mourn, you two can go with me", and turned it into a soft hum.

Although he speaks unforgivingly, he is not a person who does not know good and bad, but is just reckless and used to it.

After hearing Cui Song's words, the two scribes looked at each other: "Dare to ask your name?"

"My surname is Cui, my first name is Song, and my style name is Zi Cong. I am from Qinghe Wucheng."

"It turned out to be Cui Xiaoyou." The two had obviously heard the name of "Cui Song", and their words became a little warmer.

One of them said: "Don't dare to say please, little friend, come with me."

So he led the way ahead, while vigilantly paying attention to Mi Heng's movements, for fear that he would make something wrong again.

Fortunately, Mi Heng didn't do anything out of the ordinary until he was introduced to the gate of Sikong Mansion.

Knocking on the gate, the concierge saw the two scribes leaving and returning, with doubts on their faces, and seeing Mi Heng standing behind them, he immediately showed a horrified expression.

In order to preserve his "clean reputation", Scholar Jia approached the concierge and whispered to him.

The concierge turned his attention to Cui Song who was standing aside, politely led several people into the gate, asked them to wait in a stone pavilion in the courtyard, and went to the inner courtyard to report.

After about a cup of tea, a middle-aged man of medium stature in casual clothes ran quickly towards Shiting.

The two scribes hurriedly got up and straightened their clothes, while being surprised in their hearts, "Why did you come in person?", they pointed out to Cui Song:

"The one who came is Sikong."

Cui Song looked at the figure approaching from far away, and felt that the other person had a unique aura... looked familiar.

This thought only passed in his mind for a while, and he remembered where this sense of familiarity came from.

——Isn’t this the Colonel Cao who was with Jian Shuo in the outskirts of Luoyang?

Cui Song has not recovered from the fact that Cao Xiaowei = Cao Cao, Cao Cao is close at hand.

Cao Cao didn't bother to wipe off the thin sweat from his forehead, he laughed and said:

"Having heard about your name earlier, if you can get your help, it will be a great fortune!"

As soon as Boss Cao came up, he served a straight ball.Mi Heng, who was silent all the way, didn't know whether it was because of his nature or because he didn't like Cao Cao, so he sneered, "I don't know where Sikong came from, why did he wear a pair of women's shoes?"

Several people realized that Cao Cao seemed to have rushed from the bedroom, perhaps because he was too eager to take a closer look, but he was half wearing a pair of women's soft shoes that didn't fit.

Now being pointed out by Mi Heng's words, the scene was a little awkward for a while.

A purple-robed scribe next to Cao Cao immediately said alertly:

"It's my fault that I was in a hurry to go out today, and I actually wore the wrong shoes. Sikong was thirsty for talents, but he wore Zhaozhi's shoes by mistake. This is really a head turn, and he was so busy that he 'walked backwards'."

He took all the embarrassment of wearing the wrong women's shoes onto himself.

Cui Songduo took a look at the purple-robed scribe, heard that he called himself "Zhao", and couldn't help but think to himself, which "zhao" is it? Could it be Cao Cao's counselor Dong Zhao?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Cui Song smiled and said: "How can I praise Sikong to welcome you personally? I heard that Duke Zhou held his hair and spit out his feed. When I saw Sikong today, I know that the "Shang" is true."

On the one hand, Cui Song followed the words of the purple-robed scribe to Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he gave a high hat naturally and calmly.

Immediately, Mi Heng who was beside him looked at him as a traitor.

With interruptions from the purple-robed scribe and Cui Song's step-passing, the originally stagnant atmosphere returned to nature.

"I, Cao Cao, dare not compare myself to Duke Zhou, but my desire to seek talents is the same. Cui Lang is a great talent, not to mention the wrong footsteps to greet him, even if he is in his sleep, he should come here sleepwalking."

The words "Come here in your sleep" reminded Cui Song of the stalk of "I love killing people in my dreams", and he was suddenly in a delicate mood.

Another scribe standing behind Cao Cao wanted to show one or two things, but he had lost the opportunity.Seeing that the atmosphere had changed, he knocked the rafters on Mi Heng's body.

"Sikong's move is to seek talents. I don't know that you are a scholar. Why do you look so disheveled when you visit someone else's house today?"

He was referring to the half of the sleeve that Mi Heng tore before coming.The remaining half of the sleeve was not evenly split, exposing a section of the arm, which was unsightly.

You Heng has never been afraid of others looking for trouble, but he is afraid that there is nothing to look for, which will delay his interest in slandering others.

He was about to reply "I have no intention of meeting you", and by the way, he yelled at all the people present, but he was the one next to him who got there first.

Cui Song had expected such a situation, so he said calmly:

"When I first came to Xudu, I couldn't do anything, so I asked your brother to guide me. This sleeve of your brother is all because I acted too hastily. I didn't know how to handle it, so I accidentally damaged it. This is all my fault, please don't blame your brother."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his right hand from the sleeve and spread it out, revealing Mi Heng's half torn sleeve.

The scribe was choked back when he asked the teacher for his crimes.Seeing that Cui Song had planned a long time ago, and actually picked up the half of his sleeve that he discarded, Mi Heng was a little annoyed.

He wanted to ridicule Cui Song and expose his superfluous lies, but he saw Cui Song looked back at him inadvertently, twirling his fingertips as if he was flipping through a book. No, neither is Tun.

Seeing that Mi Heng successfully shut up, Cui Song looked at Cao Cao calmly and politely, carefully observing every subtle expression and movement of him.

Cao Cao already knew what kind of guy Mi Heng was, how could he believe Cui Song's words.

Seeing that Cui Song was a bit protective of Mi Heng, Cao Cao simply pretended not to see through the clues, and said with a smile:

"It's all a sincere heart, how can you blame it?"

Then let the scribes and waiters behind him cut off their sleeves, and then lead a few people in.

Cui Song: "..."

Although I understand that Cao Cao is imitating the allusion of King Zhuang of Chu "making all the officials die", that's why he asked everyone to cut off their sleeves together, hoping to buy people's hearts and gain the gratitude and death effect of the officials.But for Cui Song from the 21st century, this broken sleeve is really not a good meaning!

Keeping the same smile, Cui Song followed Cao Cao and others to the main hall with constant complaints in his heart.

The waiter waiting there reported that Cao Cao's other staff members had arrived in the atrium while he was away and were waiting in the meeting room.

Although the two scribes that Cui Song and the two met outside the mansion were local vassals, they were not Cao Cao's vassals, and they came to Sikong Mansion today to report to their elders.Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to have a meeting to hold now, the two politely resigned.

Mi Heng already had a quarrel with Cao Cao, and today he came to Sikong Mansion just to bid farewell to Cui Song.How could he be willing to stay after sending the person.

Cui Song knew Mi Heng's temper, and knew that everything needs to be done step by step, so he no longer forced Ni Heng, and did not say anything to stay with him.

Cao Cao said something decent and asked the waiter to send the three of them away.

Then, he led the rest of the people into the meeting room.

Cui Song: ... Is it really okay for everyone to go in with broken sleeves?

The author has something to say: about the allusion of Chuzhuang King Jueying:

King Chuzhuang held a banquet, the candles were extinguished, and when the lights were dark, a courtier molested King Chuzhuang's concubine. The concubine took off the man's tassel (the ribbon on the hat) and complained to King Chuzhuang.King Zhuang of Chu didn't let others light candles, but asked everyone to take off the tassels on his head.In this way, no one will know who molested King Chuzhuang's concubine.Later, the man who molested the concubine of King Chuzhuang desperately served King Zhuang of Chu, bravely killed the enemy regardless of life and death, and finally defeated the mighty Jin and made Chu strong.
