After dinner, Zhang Heng did not rest. Instead, he took Xun Pei to go out for fun.
During the dinner just now, Zhang Heng used some tactics to successfully close the relationship between himself and Xun Pei. In addition, Zhang Heng did have a life-saving favor for Xun Shuang, so Xun Pei immediately agreed and volunteered to be Zhang Heng's guide.
Xun Shuang wanted to refuse, but Zhang Heng didn't give him a chance to speak. He only confessed to him and took Xun Pei out.
When Cai Yong next to him saw this scene, his eyes were full of gloating smiles, and he stroked his beard and said quietly: "Brother Ciming, it is a great good thing that Zhang Ziyi is friendly with your son!"
Okay, what a fart!
How could his stupid son be Zhang Ziyi's opponent.
But on the surface, Xun Shuang could only nod his head against his will.
"What Bo Zhe said is absolutely true."
Cai Yong smiled even more happily.
Xun Ciming, I am afraid that all the young talents of your Xun family will be harmed by Zhang Ziyi.
While ridiculing, Cai Yong felt a sense of loneliness in his heart.
At least, there are still things for Zhang Ziyi to worry about, unlike his own, whose two sons died young and will inevitably end up with no heirs in the future.
He originally thought that the Wei family in Hedong was considered a high-ranking family. After Wei Zhongdao married his daughter, he passed on what he had learned throughout his life to him, and he could be regarded as having a legacy.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongdao died unexpectedly before the worship ceremony was completed, and his daughter became a widow.
It’s all Zhang Ziyi’s fault!
No, the compensation required was less last time, so I have to ask him to give me more.
Thinking of this, and for some unknown reason, Cai Yong suddenly remembered that on the way to escape that day, Zhang Wen secretly conspired to let Zhang Heng marry his daughter.
Speaking of which, Zhang Ziyi can be regarded as a talented person and will definitely leave a mark in history in the future. Moreover, she is not married yet. If Zhao Ji can marry him, she will be a perfect match, but I don't know if he is willing to marry a widow.
The marriage relationship in this era did not begin after getting married, but after the families of both parties exchanged marriage certificates, the marriage was officially effective.
Therefore, although Cai Yan is still the eldest daughter of a yellow flower, she is a widow in name. This is undeniable.
…
After leaving Xun Mansion, Zhang Heng asked Xun Pei to take him around.
The reason why he took Xun Pei out to play actually had two purposes.
First, I saw that Mr. Xun Shuang was a truly honest and honest gentleman, and wanted to get some information from him. When I came to Yingchuan for the first time, I was blinded and didn't know where those talents were. A qualified guide was very important.
Secondly, of course, I want to look familiar. If he really met a famous person on the street and had the reputation of Xun Shuang's eldest son, Zhang Heng would be able to quickly establish a relationship with him.
Just poaching, take the initiative instead of being shabby.
The two walked around in a large circle on the streets of Yingyin County. After talking all the way, Zhang Heng had almost obtained the information he wanted to know.
As Zhang Heng expected, the talents in Yingchuan have not yet emerged in this troubled world. Except for Xin Ping who followed Yuan Shao north to Jizhou last year, many of them were only in their weak years and therefore did not serve as officials.
This is a great opportunity, don’t miss it!
However, Zhang Heng had just arrived, so he didn't want to be too impatient, so he had to keep it in mind and look for opportunities to visit again in the next two days.
Although Xun Pi was simple and honest, he was not stupid. Seeing that Zhang Yi was inquiring about the residence of the children of the aristocratic family along the way, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Brother asked these people, could it be that he wanted to visit them?"
"My wise brother has a sharp eye!" Zhang Heng did not deny it, but said with a smile, "Yingchuan famous people gathered together, and there were countless talented people. Brother Yu had long wanted to visit him and admire his style. I just sigh that these days have been going on. Fight, or it would have come a long time ago.”
"Brother, you are serious. Leading troops to fight against thieves is a major matter for the country. How can it be compared to mere romantic talk."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng smiled.
This Mr. Xun seems to be more concerned about the war, and he only asked about this along the way.
Xun Shuang, Xun Shuang, you old guy refuses to agree, let me find a breakthrough in your son!
After walking around for a long time, it was getting late and the two of them were tired. There happened to be a wine shop next to the street, so Xun Pi invited Zhang Heng in for a drink.
Zhang Heng happily agreed, and the two immediately stepped into the wine shop.
It was not meal time at this time, and there were not many people in the restaurant. When the two were about to find a place to sit down, they suddenly heard a drunken voice coming from inside.
"Store, serve the wine!"
The voice was not high, but extremely clear.
But immediately another rather depressed voice responded:
"Fengxiao, do you still want to drink?"
"What, you are so drunk that you can't drink anymore?"
"Humph, I can still drink, but..." Halfway through the words, there was a hint of helplessness in the voice, "I don't have enough money for wine."
Hearing this, the drunken voice immediately said with dissatisfaction: "It's a shame that as a descendant of the Xun family, you don't bring enough money when you come out. It's really a joke!"
"How dare you blame me? You've been asking me to treat you for half a month in a row. You've spent all the money I have every month!" Another voice was immediately filled with anger.
"So what? Gentlemen have the friendship to make money. What's wrong with asking you to treat me to a few drinks?"
"You said you came to seek refuge with your weak brother, but you pester me every day to make me lose money. It's really unreasonable!"
"Hehe, don't be surprised, friend, but Wen Ruo is so boring. He wants to discuss poetry with me all day long, saying that it is an elegant thing, but he doesn't even give me a drink."
"My brother never drinks, where can I get wine for you?"
"So, I can only come to you."
"I...I have never seen someone as shameless as you."
"Hey, you've seen it now."
Listening to the conversation between the two in the wine shop, Zhang Heng couldn't help but smile.
I was lucky today and met a big fish right after I arrived.
Needless to say, that drunken drunkard should be the famous and morally corrupt genius Guo Fengxiao.
The person he called Youruo should be Xunyu's younger brother, Xun Chen, whose name is Youruo.
These two people...how should I put it?
One is a good talker, and the other is a killer of young women.
As a genius counselor, Guo Jia was neither good at internal affairs nor good at political strategizing. He himself was not disciplined and his life style was in a mess. In the end, he drugged himself to death.
But he itself has two advantages. First, he has always been good at making judgments.
Other counselors always have a lot of ideas, but don't know which one is the best. But Guo Jia is different. This guy is optimistic and understanding, with a keen nature. He can always find the most suitable direction and decision-making, and help the monarch make decisions at critical moments.
Secondly, and what Zhang Heng values most, this guy is so pure!
Throughout the history of Guo Jia's life, although he was most trusted by Cao Cao, he was only interested in military affairs and never involved in political affairs. As the saying goes, once the power is in hand, the matter is over. Call him smart or confused. Anyway, with this guy, you don't have to worry about losing your tail.
But this Xun Chen is a top-notch talkative king.
Originally, in history, it was he who entered Yecheng alone and persuaded Han Fu to give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan used large armies to coerce him, his verbal skills are considered to be among the best in the world.
Later, in the Battle of Guandu, this man became Yuan Shao's adviser, alongside Tian Feng and Xu You. It's a pity that because of his status, he didn't achieve much after surrendering to Cao Cao.
If they met in other places, Zhang Heng would directly tie them up with ropes, pack them up and send them to Xingyang overnight.
But since he is still in the Xun family's territory, Zhang Heng can only act like a gentleman honestly.
Seeing the two of them here, Zhang Heng made no move, but Xun Pei took the lead to greet them.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Xun Chen turned around when he heard the sound and saw that it was Xun Pei. The depression on his face was wiped away, and he smiled and said, "It turns out to be A Pei. I have nothing to do. Guo Fengxiao and I are drinking and chatting here."
With others, Xun Chen naturally stopped mentioning the matter just now.
When Guo Jia saw that the visitor was Xun Pei, a smile appeared on his drunken face. He did not straighten his clothes and just casually bowed his hand to Xun Pei.
Xun Pi returned the favor with his hands raised, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He had been taught by Xun Shuang since he was a child and had always been strict in self-cultivation, self-denial and propriety. Naturally, he looked down on Guo Jia's dissolute behavior.
At this time, Zhang Heng also came over.
Seeing this, Xun Chen smiled and said, "Adi, this is..."
"I'm about to introduce you to my brother. This is Zhang Ziheng of Nanyang, the nephew of Taiwei Zhang Boxen and the current Cavalry Commander." Xun Pei introduced with a smile.
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Xun Chen's eyes. He quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, saluted Zhang Heng and said, "I've seen Captain Zhang!"
“You don’t have to be polite if you’re a friend!”
Zhang Heng smiled and waved, and at the same time turned around and shouted: "The store is serving wine, and all the money for today's wine will be on my head!"
"The captain has come all the way, and I have to fulfill my duty as a landlord. How can I let the captain spend money..."
Xun Chen quickly tried to dissuade him, but Zhang Heng waved his hand to stop him before he even finished speaking.
"A real man behaves informally, but it's just a drink, and it's the same for everyone."
Hearing this, Xun Chen immediately understood that what he just said might have been heard by this person, so he kindly rescued him, and he couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Zhang Heng.
As soon as he heard that someone was paying for the wine, Guo Jia, who was drowsy at the side, immediately became energetic. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands to Zhang Heng and said: "Thank you very much, Captain, for the wine. I'm sorry, but I'm disrespectful. Shopkeeper, hurry up and serve the wine!"
Good guy, as expected of you Guo Fengxiao, you are more happy to have a drink than to meet your own father.
