Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Chapter 154 Zhuge Tibetan Orange

Yan Qing snorted softly, turned from defensive to offensive and said, "You know that everyone is like you. Once you finish your business, you don't know where to go, and you don't even remember to change your clothes when you go to a banquet?"

Guo Jia was just asking casually and didn't take it to heart. This time, he was diverted from the topic, and said with a smile: "It's really too busy, and there will be time in the future. But the word 'wave' is thoughtful and ingenious."

Yan Qing dismissed the dangerous words without showing any signs, while Lu Bu was expressionless, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Yan Qing smiled and said without a smile: "Before you showed your merits to His Majesty, the title of 'Rui Hou' was really not allowed, just because of this superb lying ability, and the ability to linger in the flowers without touching your body. Ability, should be "Huahou" is."

Guo Jia wisely refused to accept this, and sighed: "The bottom line is that the lord married the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and the burden of marriage was left behind, which made me so tired."

Tired?

Yan Qing's mouth twitched.

It's clearly a joy.

Yan Qing raised his leg slightly, kicked Guo Jia's buttocks who was about to sit next to him, and cursed dotingly: "You don't know how to cover up your messy smell?"

Guo Jia casually rubbed the place where he was kicked, then lazily raised the sleeve of his free hand, brought it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it carefully, and said seriously: "On this level, don't say that you have to deal with the public. In comparison, even in front of General Lu Da, he pales in comparison!"

Lv Bu was suddenly teased, and immediately felt embarrassed and annoyed, his ears turned red, and he couldn't bear it and said in a deep voice: "Guo Fengxiao!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Jia feared that this reckless man would get used to it if he couldn't stand the teasing, so he tactfully responded repeatedly.

Under Lu Bu's watchful eyes, he sat down as if nothing had happened, and the first thing he did was to ask the maid to bring some big wine jars.

Obviously ready to take this great opportunity to have a drink.

Yan Qing looked at it coolly, and suddenly said: "How long have you been preparing?"

After returning to Qiao County, the prohibition on alcohol that must be obeyed in the army was naturally gone, but everyone in Yan Qing's core team knew clearly that the lord treated this close friend of Yingchuan as if he treated his own family. Caring and strict—even if it is impossible to forcibly prohibit the other party from entering and exiting places where fish and dragons are mixed up, such as Fengyue venues and neighborhood restaurants, to relax, you must limit the number of times and numbers, and at the same time send a dozen or so guards to follow closely. , Sometimes on a whim, I will go to spot checks in person.

Nurturing and nourishing food, moderate exercise supervision, are all a lot.

In the eyes of everyone, Guo Jia, who is in the blessing and does not know the blessing, of course complains endlessly about this, but Yan Qing is unprecedentedly ruthless and does not give any discussion. As time goes by, he gradually adapts to it, and it is not like that protested.

Jia Xu and Xun You were very interested in this, and they even made a special trip to ask Yan Qing if they could also copy a copy, either as a reference for themselves or for their subordinates to carry out.

Yan Qing naturally readily agreed.

It makes people laugh and cry, because of Yan Qing's urgency to monitor people and Guo Jia's extreme favor, people who are not familiar with the inside story may think that the lord likes to act like a counselor.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top is effective at the bottom. In order to win the favor of the lord, some people spontaneously exercise, and those who behave temperately make the physical fitness of Yan Qing's staff secretly increase.

Yan Qing didn't realize this until he happened to get up early one day and arrived at the meeting hall ahead of time: as soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of counselors with their sleeves rolled up, running in full swing in the yard...

Guo Jia laughed aloud: "My lord is ridiculous, but I just happened to pass by a wine shop and smell the aroma. I couldn't help but recall that Feng Xian had won a big victory and returned. He had worked hard during the army, and he was thinking about the taste of good wine. He just paid off his bag and bought a few wines along the way. altar……"

Longing for fine wine?

Lv Bu snorted coldly in disdain, cast a cold glance at Guo Jia, and said inwardly that he was useless.

——It's worth thinking about, but the master is alone.

Yan Qing nodded slightly, as if accepting the statement, and stopped asking.

Guo Jia slowly opened the paper seal, fascinated by the fragrant and mellow wine smell, and also aroused a belly full of wine worms.

He quickly filled up a glass, and after drinking it down, Yan Qing asked unexpectedly: "You have chosen the wrong winery. It is said that the aroma of this one is good, but the taste is just average, not as good as the one in Luoyang."

The beloved wine was suddenly belittled, and Guo Jia retorted without thinking: "That's a bunch of nonsense! The one in Luoyang—"

Stopped abruptly.

Yan Qing waited for the moment when he relaxed his vigilance, and really cheated out, could not help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Sure enough, it was premeditated."

Guo Jia accidentally revealed his secrets, and couldn't help but slander the lord for being treacherous and cunning, but looked at him innocently on his face.

But it happened to meet Lu Bu who was sitting behind Yan Qing, with a silent grin full of gloating and ironic meaning on his face.

Guo Jia: "..."

Yan Qing shook his head, ignored Guo Jia, just murmured 'wine' in a low voice, turned up his sleeves, and transformed into fine wine out of thin air, causing other people who were not mentally prepared to be surprised.

He ignored Guo Jia's eager gaze indifferently, and pushed to Lu Bu: "It's yours."

Ever since she decided not to abuse the cards, Yan Qing seldom turned wine out for entertainment.

Others are fine, Guo Jia misses him the most, but Yan Qing is the one he is least willing to indulge, so if he asks for it ten times, he may not give it once.

After a long time, Guo Jia also had to accept this fact, and Fang began to settle for the second best in some wine shops that he had never looked down upon in the past, looking for substitutes.

In fact, Lu Bu's interest in fine wine is far less than one or two percent of his interest in Yan Qing.

But there was an exception for no reason, and he thanked the lord for the reward happily, and under Guo Jia's piercing gaze, he unsealed the wine slowly, imitating Guo Jia's style, and took a deep sniff. The fragrance of fine wine is just beginning to enjoy.

Yan Qing was too lazy to watch the tense atmosphere between the two of them, and didn't want to drink alcohol. After taking a few sips of honey water, he suddenly remembered what happened to Lu Kang, so he couldn't help but nudged Lu Bu, and asked, "Your class is on the way , have you seen Lu’s convoy? And Wenyuan and the others.”

Lu Bu nodded: "I saw Wen Yuan, and he was in a hurry. The Lord sent him to inspect, so we didn't keep him for a long time. The caravan also met many people, but there was no one with the surname Lu."

Yan Qing gave a absent-minded oh, and became more and more puzzled, which way did the Lu family go to Beijing to pay tribute to the face saint?

Before he could think about it for a while, the guests arrived one after another.

The list of invitations was arranged by Yanqing's favorite Jia Xu, who knew Yanqing's wishes well, so there were not many people who came to this meeting, basically they were important cronies who Yanqing could name and even knew very well.

And when the sense of formality is less, the restraint is gone. Unlike those officials who rarely see Yan Qing, they are inevitably trembling and unable to let go, but most of them are very relaxed.

After congratulating Lu Bu one after another, they sat down freely, in groups of three or four, chatting happily and drinking slowly.

Only Guo Jia was not in high spirits: under the stark contrast of Lu Bu's altar, the good wine that he had been thinking about in the past suddenly became like clear soup with little water, tasteless and hard to swallow.

Having said that, he glanced at the hard-hearted Yanqing Lu Bu with resentful eyes, sighed, and... still didn't drink less.

With a smile on her face, Yan Qing chatted with them one after another, her sensitive hearing suddenly caught a trace of childish words that were especially abrupt because of their immaturity and clarity, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback, stopped talking, then raised her eyes Come and follow the source of the sound.

It was said to be a family banquet, but it was actually a place where the lord attended in person. Even Sun Jian, who was second only to Lu Bu in the army, would not be so casual, lest he might be offended.

Why did someone bring a child here?

Yan Qing's eyes quickly crossed the crowd and landed on the seats in the outermost row.

Sitting there in a well-behaved manner, one big and three small, all lowered their heads in unison, concentrating on studying a dish on the table, unaware of Yan Qing's gaze.

Xun You saw that Yan Qing was slightly curious, so he smiled and took the initiative to explain: "That is the former Taishan County Chancellor, Zhuge Gui. Didn't my lord personally ask that person before? A few days ago, Xun Yanzhou took him He was transferred here and became a subordinate official to assist Wenhe. His wife died early, and he had no female relatives at home, and he was new here. In the future, he will be able to ask someone to take care of the child, and he will take care of all the big and small things in the family. This time, he also asked. Only with Wenhe's permission will..."

What else did Xun You say? When Yan Qing heard the surname 'Zhuge', he became a little less calm.

Right.

According to the plan he discussed with Guo Jia not long ago, he planned to send Zhuge Xuanmi, who is good at communication, to Jingzhou, and Zhuge's family has always had a deep friendship and close brothers, so his brother Zhuge Gui would ask for transfer because he was worried about him. , it makes sense.

So, the three brothers who are sitting... are Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun?

Xun You suddenly saw that Yan Qing was stunned first, then his eyes lit up suddenly, he couldn't help being startled: "My lord?"

Yan Qing returned to his senses, and explained as if nothing had happened: "It's okay. I have an old friend, I know them well, and I know that they are quite talented, so I asked a few words, but I never really met..."

Lu Bu couldn't sense that Yan Qing was hiding something, he frowned slightly, and couldn't help but also glanced at Zhuge's family.

A thin and haggard middle-aged man with a weathered face, a young man with a donkey face...and two pretending brats.

After not feeling the slightest threat, Lu Bu was relieved, and before the other party noticed his sharp gaze, he naturally moved away.

After the banquet was over, Yan Qing casually found an excuse that no one could find any flaws in, and kept Zhuge's family behind.

Although Zhuge is also from a famous family, since Zhuge Feng, who was too straightforward and offended countless people, his ancestors have never had any high-ranking officials.

Zhuge Gui's appointment as Taishan Juncheng is really something to be excited about.But before he had been working for a long time, he fell seriously ill and was about to die at any time.

If Yan Qing, who was thousands of miles away at that time, hadn't thought of him by chance, and sent the miraculous doctor who was able to rejuvenate there in time, it would be impossible for him to stand here with a pale face and a thin body.

After Zhuge Gui knew the name of his savior, he was more flattered than grateful - he was quite self-aware, of course he knew that although his family was somewhat famous, in front of Yan Sikong, who was famous all over the world, he was just an ordinary nobody How could he be so favored by heaven? He was expected to have such a catastrophe, not to mention that he would not have extended a helping hand thousands of miles away?

He was puzzled.

Thanks to Yan Qing's kindness, he obeyed Xun Yu's enlistment and deployment, and did everything with all his heart, which made some colleagues who were kind to him because Yan Qing showed extra importance to him at the beginning, also really treat him Have a good impression.

Only this time my younger brother was transferred to a secret errand, and he didn't even say a word to him. He almost passed by someone else, and he was especially worried about his family. Follow in the footsteps of my brother.

Before leaving, Yan Qing's order was conveyed respectfully by the maidservant, and when he told them to stay for a while, Zhuge Gui didn't expect it, and answered in a daze.

The guests had receded in an orderly manner like a tide, leaving Lu Bu standing silently behind Yan Qing, very majestic; Guo Jia was so drunk that his belly swelled, lying on the mat unable to move; Yan Qing's eyes were clear, with a slight smile on his lips, sitting From the main seat, look at him gently.

However, Zhuge Gui felt the powerful momentum under that gentle appearance, and his heart tightened suddenly, and he was about to bring his three sons to salute respectfully——

Wheelie wheelie.

Everyone didn't miss this slight movement and looked over in unison.

I saw two or three golden oranges the size of a fist rolling happily out of the sleeve of the robe of the child who was imitating his father's serious face and loosened his grip because he bent down to salute.

It was round and rolled all the way smoothly, until it hit Guo Jia who was lying down, and then stopped.

Zhuge Gui: "..."
