Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1336: Recognize relatives

 “It is highly commendable to be determined to learn.”

Feng Da Sima played with the recommendation letter in his hand and looked at Yang Hu, but he became more and more playful.

 This letter of recommendation is basically a joke whether in the Han Dynasty or in the Wei State.

 The princes and kings of the Wei State are just names that sound good.

 Even in-laws can’t greet each other during the holidays, so why do you still want to get involved in politics?

 As for the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings of Wei?



 Only in Feng Da Sima's place can it play its greatest role.

 So this Uncle Yang is very interesting, very interesting.

 As the Fat King of the Han Dynasty (crossed out), he should be the Ghost King, the kind who is far-sighted.

 At the first moment, I felt that Uncle Yang's return seemed to be very different from the last time.

 In front of Yang Hu, he opened the recommendation letter and read it.

 There is nothing out of the ordinary, it is quite satisfactory.

Even when he saw the four words "anxious for public good and loving justice", Feng even chuckled.

 After reading it, he put away the letter and looked at Yang Hu again.

Perhaps it was because of his smile just now, Feng Da Sima seemed to see a hint of nervousness in Yang Hu's eyes.

 “I already know what my uncle means.”

Feng Da Sima said, "Let me be honest with my uncle. The Imperial Han Dynasty welcomes scholars from all over the world to come and study."

"But there must be conditions after all. Otherwise, if anyone stands in front of the academy gate and says "I want to study" and can enter, then wouldn't the Imperial Academy of the Han Dynasty become a place where everyone is confused?"

Strictly speaking, Cao Zhi’s recommendation letter is not a recommendation letter.

 In other words, it is a letter of recommendation that is only valid for Feng Da Sima.

 But coincidentally, Feng Da Sima was the head of the Imperial Academy of the Han Dynasty and the founder of the academy.

 No need to speak, just a glance to indicate, it is simple to send someone in.

 Obviously, when Yang Hu took Cao Zhi's letter, he actually wanted to get permission to enter the academy from Feng Da Sima.

However, after hearing Feng Da Sima’s words, Yang Hu’s attention was diverted:

 A fish out of sight?

He glanced at Feng Da Sima with some suspicion, and then suddenly realized:

"The Book of Changes Shen Tongqi" says: The eyes of fish cannot be regarded as pearls, and the basil cannot be regarded as tadpoles.

 Could it be that Feng Da Sima also read "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi"?

 Yes, "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi" was written by Wei Boyang.

Wei Boyang is probably the only person in the past few decades who has definitely become an immortal and has a work on immortality that has been handed down.

 According to rumors, Feng Da Sima was from a mysterious and powerful mountain sect.

 It is normal for a mountain sect like this to know about the affairs of the Immortal family.

Perhaps his disciple has some connections with some immortals.

 After all, many of the hermits and masters who have not been born in the world are cultivators of immortality.

 I think that Feng Da Sima not only read it, but also read it well. If not, how could he extract the phrase "fish eyes mixed with pearls"?

 In this way, wouldn’t the knowledge that Feng Da Sima brought out from his disciples be...

   (Sun Quan, who completed the supplementary work for Feng, gave a thumbs up)

Thinking about it this way, the changes in the Han Dynasty over the years, and even the reversal of the general trend of the world, may be explained.

With this thought, Yang Hu suddenly felt a strong curiosity in his heart.

It seems that I must go in and take a look at this academy. If I have the chance, it would be best to find out what is so special about the study of objects and arithmetic.

 In a daze, I felt two sharp eyes falling on me.

Yang Hu was startled, quickly calmed down, and saluted Feng Da Sima:

"Hu was confused when he heard that he was confused. He was shocked at the great Sima's erudition, so he lost his mind. Don't be surprised if you look forward to the great Sima."

Seeing that Yang Hu was absent-minded, Feng Dashima thought that he had aroused Yang Hu's arrogance by saying that it was difficult to enter the academy, and he did not necessarily want to go in to study.

 Didn’t expect it to be this?

It's like a fish's eyes, but you can understand its meaning if you can read the text, right?

 Feng Da Sima's eyes became more and more scrutinized (feeling guilty).

Is it possible that this is just a fish out of sight? Is there any other allusion to it?

That shouldn’t be the case either.

  If it is an allusion from the past, then Lao Tzu can be regarded as a summary idiom.

 If it is an allusion from the future, then this allusion belongs to me from now on.

As I was thinking about it, I heard Yang Hu continue to say:

"The Book of Changes Shen Tongqi" says: The eyes of fish cannot be pearls, and the basil cannot be a tadpole."

“I didn’t expect that Da Sima would use it here. It’s really wonderful. I’m impressed by Da Sima’s literary talent!”

Um?

oh!

 Feng Da Sima's secretly straightened back instantly relaxed and he leaned back in his chair.

This has a good origin, that is, it is a summary idiom.

"The Master said: When you see a talented person, you will think of others. You begged the Great Sima and allowed you to enter the academy for a while. You don't dare to match the talents of the Great Sima. You only hope that you can take advantage of the talent left by the Great Sima, and you will be satisfied!"

 Compared with last time, this time Yang Hu spoke very nicely and had a very low attitude.

 Mr. Feng was quite satisfied.

At this point, if Feng Da Sima still can't guess part of the reason, then he will be called foresight in vain.

 Most of the Han people just wanted to return to the old capital.

 Has an extremely strong obsession with capturing Luoyang.

 But he didn't think much about it. After taking Luoyang, it had a huge shock within Wei State.

 Obviously, Yang Hu's change of attitude in just a few months was probably due to the fact that Luoyang fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty, in addition to studying.

 In other words, the Shandong Yangshi behind him may want to place a bet again.

 After all, Luoyang is also the capital of Cao Wei!

 After the Han Dynasty captured Luoyang, the Cao family's ancestral temple and the gods inside were reduced to powder.

Stones that are more difficult to grind into powder sink directly to the bottom of the river.

I don’t know if Cao Pi had the feeling before he was alive, so the tomb after his death not only did not have trees sealed, nor a sleeping hall built, nor even a Shinto or the like.

 So the Han Dynasty has not been able to find his grave for the time being.

 Otherwise, it is impossible to say that even the bones would be dug up and whipped.

 (Note: Cao Cao’s tomb is buried in Yecheng)

  But destroying the ancestral temples and shrines was considered as the loss of half of the country to ancient people.

 So even if you firmly support the Wei faction, I am afraid you will hesitate at this time:

Can the state of Wei still be in good health?

Thinking of this, Feng Da Sima's eyes narrowed slightly.

Yang Hu felt that Feng Da Sima's eyes were getting sharper, and he lowered his head, his expression becoming more respectful.

“When you see a virtuous person, you will think of others. If your uncle has this intention, it will be very good.”

Feng Da Sima finally said, "You have the recommendation of my nephew Cao, and you have the intention, then I will make an exception and let you study in the college."

These words made Yang Hu crawl to the ground with a bang as if hearing fairy music:

 “Thank you so much to Da Sima!”

 “Get up.”

 “Thank you to Da Sima.”

The letter was delivered, and his wish was fulfilled. Feng Dasima was busy with everything, but Yang Hu should have been more sensible and took the initiative to say goodbye, so he should not take up too much time.

But he hesitated for a long time, but he made a fuss and stopped talking.

This made Feng Dashima a little confused:

 “What else can I do, uncle?”

When Yang Hu heard this, a look of shame appeared on his face. He hesitated and struggled for a while, and finally took out the second letter from his arms:

"Da Sima, Hu's sister, admires Da Sima's literary talents very much. She not only memorizes every article of Da Sima, but also writes it down by hand for collection." "And Da Sima has a close relationship with King Chen (i.e. Cao Zhi). It even makes my sister fall in love, so, so..."

 At this point, Yang Hu stuttered a little, "Sister, I would rather let Hu submit this letter to Da Sima regardless of my shame."

 My face is still a little thin, and I still have some shame in my heart, so the more I talk about it, the redder my face becomes.

Feng Da Sima, on the other hand, was slightly surprised when he heard what Yang Hu said, and then immediately returned to normal.

Over the years, to be precise, from Shu to Liangzhou, then to Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and even Hedong, which aristocratic family in any place did not want to send their daughters to his bed?

Even the orchids in the northern and western regions have this kind of dream.

Feng Dashima has seen too many such things.

Although there is still a place for concubines supported by the imperial court in the house, it is empty... which is actually quite good.

The person responsible for receiving the letter had his hands half-stretched. It seemed that he wanted to reach out to receive it, but when he heard Yang Hu say this, he suddenly retracted his hand.

 Then, he turned his head and glanced at Feng Da Sima.

 Feng Da Sima's expression remained as usual, as steady as an old dog.

The Yang family of Shandong is indeed a noble family.

 Maybe he felt that he had been offended last time, so this gift was such a big gift.

After being quiet for a while, Yang Hu felt as uncomfortable as he had for ten years, and he wanted to bury his head under the ground.

When someone took the letter in his hand, Yang Hu suddenly felt that the weight of the mountain on his body suddenly disappeared.

Feng Dashima got the letter and glanced at it, but saw that the handwriting on the envelope was delicate and graceful, much better than his own writing.

  Without reading more, let alone opening it, I just put the letter on the case:

"I already know your sister's intention, but please go back and tell your sister that since Cao Zijian left, for me, it is the time when Yu Boya lost his son, so I don't want to talk about the matter of divine friendship."

Hearing this, Yang Hu felt a complicated feeling in his heart.

 There was both loss and injustice, and even a sense of secret relief.

 He naturally knows what the clan means.

But in this matter, the sister who rejected Master Sima did not show any objection and even wrote the letter herself.

Now being rejected by someone - even if this person's surname is Feng - still makes him feel unworthy for his sister.

Looking at the letter on the desk, Yang Hu smiled bitterly:

"To be honest with Da Sima, Hu's arrival this time was actually due to my sister's persuasion. Last time Hu returned home, he was scolded by my sister."

"She is a woman who knows how to refuse Sima's marriage proposal, but she is ignorant of the general trend of the world. She actually wants to go against the trend, which is really stupid."

As he spoke, the bitter smile on his face became thicker and he shook his head:

"When the news of Luoyang reaches Shandong, Hu will know that my sister has real insights."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hands again:

"What Hu said is not to praise my sister in front of Da Sima, but to ask for a favor for my sister. With my sister's knowledge, I will definitely not insult Da Sima's calligraphy."

"Wait a minute, what did you say?" Feng Da Sima waved his hand and asked, "You mean, Sister Gui rejected Sima's marriage proposal?"

When Yang Hu heard this question, his heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely thought of something.

 But he had to answer: "Exactly."

 Feng Dashima pondered for a moment:

 “Who is from the Sima family?”

                  by Sima Ziyuan.

 “Master Sima?”

"yes."

“The Sima Master who poisoned his wife to death and then married Wu’s daughter?”

Yang Hu was startled, then gritted his teeth and wanted to nod, but he seemed to want to refute:

"It is rumored that Sima Xiahou died suddenly..."

Feng Da Sima laughed and said meaningfully:

“The current Luoyang is the Luoyang of the Han Dynasty, not the Luoyang of the pseudo-Wei Dynasty, let alone the Luoyang of the Sima family.”

“Uncle Yang, you are also Xiahou’s son-in-law. Do you really not know how Sima Xiahou died?”

 Yang Hu was silent.

“So, your sister is right not to marry Master Sima.”

 “If not,” he glanced at Yang Hu, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip:

“Sleeping with a vicious and inhumane guy like Sima Shi, well, staying under the same roof, I’m afraid I’ll have to turn a blind eye while sleeping.”

Yang Hu continued to remain silent.

“However, Sister Gui was able to withstand the pressure and reject Master Sima’s marriage proposal at that time. I have to say that she was indeed quite discerning.”

 If it were anyone else, Feng Dashima might not care too much.

 But it is related to Master Sima after all. Although Master Sima is dead, he is still a famous figure in history. This fact made Feng Da Sima a little interested.

 Can’t remember who was Sima Shi’s last wife in original history.

I don’t know whether to marry Yang Hu’s sister or not?

Thinking of this, Feng Da Sima couldn't help but asked:

“Sister, what’s your maiden name?”

 His original intention was to know the name and see if he could recall it or had heard of it.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hu's expression changed when he heard this.

this…

 I heard that Mr. Feng has a preference for women who have been engaged to each other. Is this true?

 But, my sister is not engaged to Master Sima!

 Does it mean that those who have discussed marriage are also counted?

Without looking at Yang Hu, whose expression was changing, or at the wide-eyed servant next to him, Feng Da Sima knew he was in trouble as soon as he spoke.

 Coughed, and hurriedly explained in a disguised manner:

“Forget it, I just asked casually. It’s rare to see such a woman with such great vision, so I can’t help but be curious.”

Yang Hu suppressed his rumbling thoughts and forced himself to calm down and smiled:

“If Da Sima is interested, why not take a look at my sister’s letter? There is definitely my sister’s name on it.”

There is definitely no character for ˜, because only when you marry someone, the husband's family will pick the character.

 That's why a woman who is not married is called "waiting in the boudoir".

After Yang Hu finished speaking, he bowed his hands again and prepared to leave.

He felt that if he didn't resign, he might die of shame here.

 Feng Da Sima did not retain him, but asked someone to send him out.

 His eyes fell on the letter on the desk.

 This Yang girl is a bit interesting...

Given the status of the Yang family in Shandong, it is definitely impossible for such a legitimate daughter to be a concubine for Sima Shi.

If you want to marry a daughter of the Yang family, then the Sima Master must either continue to kill his wife to become a Taoist priest, or divorce his wife and marry again.

 According to the viciousness of this person, it is impossible to say that he will be reborn once and twice.

Thinking of this, Feng’s hand unknowingly picked up the letter...

 “Reporting to Da Sima, there is someone outside asking to see you.”

Feng Da Sima, who was deep in thought, shivered subconsciously. He was so frightened that he stuffed the letter in his arms and frowned at the same time and asked:

 “Who is it?”

I have no acquaintances in Luoyang, and the generals in the army are all deploying defenses in Luoyang as planned. Unless there is something urgent, they will not come.

"I don't know, the man just said that he is Da Sima's nephew, and this is the token he sent."

"nephew?"

Feng Da Sima was stunned for a moment. I have a nephew in Luoyang?

Hey!

There are so many strange things happening these days.

First there was someone who wanted to recognize his brother-in-law, and now there was someone who wanted to recognize his uncle.

 After taking the token and looking at it, the face of Feng Dasima, who was as steady as an old dog, suddenly changed slightly:

"Where is he?"
