Three Kingdoms

Chapter 60 Entering Cuijiazhuang for the second time

Fei Qian was wailing in his heart. He couldn't leave immediately without handing in his homework. This would not only be disrespectful but would also make people look down on him, so he still went to see Cai Yan.

Women in the Han Dynasty did not have the same rules as those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties where they cheated others without paying for their lives, so they were relatively free. The so-called rules that men and women are more on guard than against rivers only emerged in the Song Dynasty and were carried forward by Zhu Xi. They reached their peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The famous minister Hai Rui actually claimed that his daughter took a cake from a male servant. : "How can a woman be allowed to be abused by children? She is not my daughter, and she can starve to death immediately, so she can be called my daughter." Later, Hai Rui's daughter kept crying and refused to eat, and she starved to death seven days later! The most important thing is that Hai Rui's daughter was only five years old at that time...

Those sour scholars, especially Comrade Zhu Xi, are glossy in words, but in private they say one thing and do another, which is quite the style of later generations...

Two nasty things about Mr. Zhu Xi were recorded. One was that Mr. Zhu Xi took a concubine when he was more than sixty years old. Taking a concubine was not a problem. The problem was that the concubine was originally a teenage nun. Zhu Xi The old tree was glowing for the nth time, and he couldn't restrain the temptation to uniform that surged in his heart, so he snatched the person away from the Buddha... The other thing was his daughter-in-law, who had been a widow in the back house for many years and had never seen any male guests. Shocking news, I'm pregnant...

After these two things about Zhu Xi were revealed, even the current emperor Song Ningzong and Zhao Kuo were shocked. Zhu Xi taught Song Ningzong, so Song Ningzong was also considered a disciple of Zhu Xi. Seeing that the teacher he admired was exposed, Song Ningzong had complicated emotions and asked Zhu Xi personally whether this was true. Zhu Xi's answer was ambiguous and his attitude was ambiguous. He admitted that his theory was "pseudo-science" and at the same time made a profound self-examination: "Reflect deeply on what was wrong in the past, and carefully explore what is now..."

So if a woman travels through time, she should choose the Han and Tang Dynasties, which are relatively safer. Otherwise, be careful of pig cages and wooden donkeys in later dynasties...

Fei Qian met Cai Yan in the study. Cai Yan was writing silently as usual, but when he saw Fei Qian coming, he put down his pen.

Cai Yan's calligraphy is derived from Cai Yong's. It can be said that the calligraphy is just like the person, dignified and majestic. Because it is a book written silently, he uses formal official script. Each stroke is strong and full of charm, which is tangible but spiritless like Fei Qian's. In comparison, it is indeed higher than anyone else.

Cai Yan gathered up a few strands of black hair that were scattered due to bowing his head, showed a slight smile, and asked: "How many books on the book list have you read?"

Fei Qian said bravely: "To be honest, senior sister, I haven't read a single book yet..."

"Then there are no temporary posts?"

"……yes."

Cai Yan's bright black eyes widened a little and he said, "I can't help but learn."

Fei Qian lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just too busy these days..."

Fei Qian then thought about it and maybe asked Cai Yan to help persuade Cai Yong. If he could move away from Luoyang, the father and daughter would not experience such tragic things in the future.

So Fei Qian chose some of the things that happened in the past few days and told Cai Yan. Cai Yan obviously didn't go out much and had never heard of these things. He listened quietly to Fei Qian's talk until Fei Qian finally talked about Chong'er. Cai Yan nodded slightly, as if to express Fei Qian's wishes. There is some truth to the statement.

Cai Yan suddenly sighed and whispered: "In ancient times, there was a literary thief Dong, and today there is a martial thief Dong. This is really..."

Fei Qian knew that the "martial thief Dong" was talking about Dong Zhuo's use of force to dominate the government and force Liu Bian to abdicate, but who was this "literary thief Dong" talking about?

"Are you a literary thief? Junior brother, please go back and read the "Book of Han" carefully. If you fail to hand in your homework next time..." Cai Yan smiled a little slyly, but he didn't make it clear and just asked Fei Qian to go back and read the book so that he could study hard. Send Fei Qian away.

Is this still fun to play with? If you don't bully people like this, don't you just read more books than me and know more than me?

Master Cai Yong still has questions to answer. Why don’t you, Cai Yan, learn from your father’s style...

And I still have to hand in my homework...

Fei Qian came out of Cai's house and saw that it was still early, so he decided to go to Cui's house again. It's been a long time since the Beimang Mountain incident. Besides, the Cui family has some business networks after all, so it would be good to learn about the surrounding states and counties from him.

So Fei Qian turned around and headed to the north of the city. Along the way, he saw pedestrians walking in a hurry, with many frightened expressions. They were not as calm and natural as before. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These people were regarded as ants by the nobles of the noble families and the court. The people, also affected by the entire government, began to feel nervous and uneasy, but who knew that the future would be even more terrifying...

When they arrived at Cuijiazhuang Village, Cui Hou personally went out to greet him.

After the meeting, Fei Qian asked about Cui Yi's physical condition, and Cui Hou shook his head with a bad expression.

When Feiqian got sick in later generations, he only knew how to buy some medicine himself. He had no choice but to go to the hospital, mainly because it was too expensive, so he really didn't know much about medical skills, but his knowledge was somewhat broader.

Elderly people should stay calm and calm at ordinary times, and avoid being overjoyed or angry. Otherwise, the cerebral blood vessels that have been used for many years will be easily injured, commonly known as stroke. According to Cui Hou, Cui Yi's condition was a bit like a stroke, but in later generations there was no effective way to treat this disease, so it was basically helpless in the Han Dynasty.

Maybe Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, the miracle doctors, have a way, but unfortunately these two are not in Luoyang and can't be found even if they try to find it.

Cui Hou understood in his heart, so he didn't mention it much. After a few words, he presented the glazed products developed by the family's master craftsman according to Fei Qian's recipe one by one.

It has to be said that the wisdom of ancient people exceeded Fei Qian's imagination. Just based on Fei Qian's not very precise formula, the craftsmen were able to constantly try and adjust it, until the finished product now is almost close to some of what Fei Qian saw in later generations. Glaze products are not as colorful as later generations, but their carving and modeling are limited by the vision and experience of the craftsmen.

Fei Qian clicked his tongue and praised, indeed he was very impressed.

Glaze products are highly profitable, but after all, they are not affordable for ordinary people, so Cui Hou only sells the best ones, but even so, he still makes a lot of money. Unique monopoly operations have always been a source of wealth. synonymous with.

Now that Fei Qian has transformed into a disciple of two great intellectuals, Cui Hou has become more and more respectful to Fei Qian. He also took part of the profit from the glassware and must share it with Fei Qian.

Fei Qian knew that this part of the profit could be regarded as Cui Hou's investment in his future, but there was no need to refuse. After all, someone who was willing to invest meant that he still had investment value, right?

It's just that taking the money directly would be a disadvantage, so Fei Qian said: "There is no urgency about the yellow and white things. I have something troublesome right now."

"But after hearing the details, if Brother Yu can help, of course he will be obliged to do so."

Fei Qian said: "My younger brother has lived in Luoyang for a long time and doesn't know much about Zhili, Henan, Hebei, and Jingxiang. I wonder if Brother Yongyuan has any information in this regard?"

Cui Hou thought about it for a while and said: "If it's a superficial account of people and geography, Brother Yu knows a little bit about it, but I don't know if it can satisfy Brother Xian." After that, he asked a servant to go to the study to find a thin booklet. He came out and handed it to Fei Qian.

Fei Qian took it over curiously and was surprised!

This thing actually existed in the Eastern Han Dynasty!
