Chapter 441 Return to my hometown to see Mr. Cui
Of course, as Cui Hong is the identity of him, not only Ma Chao's teacher, but also Cui An's father. Anyone who can just give him a simple identity is indeed like a crucian carp who has cursed him.
But to be honest, Cui Hong almost always thanked guests behind closed doors. Anyway, he was not an acquaintance, so he couldn't see him at all. As for the officials who wanted to arrange a few servants for him, he finally refused him. And no one dared to offend him, so in the end he could only listen to him.
But this has to be said that Cui Hong was indeed taken care of by Du Ji, which is certain. After all, as the prefect of Fufeng, Du Ji wanted to take care of one or two people, so that wasn’t that easy to win?
As a result, after opening the door, Cui Hong saw Ma Chao and his group. Before he could talk to his confidant son, he quickly saluted Ma Chao, "I've seen it..."
Can Ma Chao ask him to salute him? Not to mention so many people watching, even if there is no one, it won’t work.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao is a man who respects his teachers and respects the truth. Even though Cui Hong hasn't taught him for too long, he is his enlightenment mentor after all, and everyone in the world knows it.
So Cui Hong wanted to salute Ma Chao, so he quickly grabbed him. Although his identities are different, how could he let his teacher salute him? So after Ma Chao grabbed Cui Hong, he quickly said: "Sir, I'm back!"
Ma Chao didn't say anything like me to come to see you. He said he was back, which was of course more intimate, but obviously. Although Cui Hong was happy to see Ma Chao see Cui An, his own student and his own son, when Ma Chao held him like this, he said on the spot, "This, courtesy cannot be abolished. Cui Hong..."
When Ma Chao heard this, he thought to himself. His teacher, Mr. Cui, this quilt is just a stubborn one, so it’s so pedantic. Fortunately, Cui An has never read so many books. It’s not as pedantic.
He quickly hit Cui An's arm and gave him a secret wink, that's what you meant to solve your father's affairs.
-----------------------------------------------------
Not to mention, Cui An understood, so he quickly grabbed his father and said, "This father, the lord has brought so many colleagues here, why didn't you invite them in? How could you talk at the door!"
As a result, Cui Hong's words were interrupted after such interruptions, and it was indeed acknowledged. Cui Hong is really old, so he didn't forget it in a blink of an eye, but it was indeed almost the same. Cui An is in his forties, Ma Chao is in his thirties, and Cui Hong is indeed old.
He heard his son say this and quickly said, "Yes. Everyone, please come in and talk!"
"please!"
...
Cui Hong, a scholar, really values etiquette very much, and he found that he was a little rude, so he quickly invited Ma Chao and the others into the mansion, so he couldn't stand here at the door.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cui Hong directly invited everyone to the living room. As for everyone's horses, there were naturally Ma Chao's personal guards to take them away and manage them. After all, they would not follow their lord into the living room. Only Ma Chao's direct subordinates could enter the place, and there was no place for them, such soldiers.
After entering the living room, he sat down with guests and guests. This was another request. I have to say that although Cui Hong is old, he, a scholar, attaches great importance to the etiquette, otherwise it would not be like this.
As for Ma Chao and the others, they all understood, so no one would have any opinions about him. Not to mention that he was his lord's enlightenment mentor, even if it was not, just because he was Cui An's father, everyone would definitely respect him, and there was no need to say anything.
Cui Hong asked Ma Chao at this time: "I wonder where Meng Qi, you are from?"
When the generals heard this, they thought that there were not many people in the world who could call their lord's name. But Mr. Cui is indeed one.
-----------------------------------------------------
It is true that Cui Hong calls Ma Chao the best name, and it will definitely not work. It is called Chao'er like before, so isn't that kidding? Otherwise, it's lord, but Cui Hong is not from the Liangzhou Army. It's called the governor of the state or the general, let alone it be too far away, so everyone must have an opinion if they say it out. So in front of the generals, Cui Hong can only call Ma Chao the word "Photo", and to everyone, it sounds really, very normal.
After all, no matter what, he is the teacher of his lord, and this can be said to be never changed.
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "Sir, the student is bringing..."
Ma Chao briefly told his husband about the matter of leading his troops to the Southern Barbarians. After all, although Cui Hong was also in Sili and in Maoling, which is not far from Chang'an, he really didn't know that Ma Chao led his troops to Yizhou, so he didn't know about this. As a result, he kept nodding when he heard Ma Chao say it.
-----------------------------------------------------
The person is really different from his son. At least Cui Hong is definitely not a war madman. He is happy when he sees a war. That's impossible. But for his students, he led his troops to the Southern Barbarians and dealt with those uneducated alien races.
For him, a scholar, it is true that the people of the Southern Barbarians are foreign races that are not educated. The places in the Southern Barbarians are barbarians, and people are barbarians. So Ma Chao went to deal with them. Even if they killed and injured so many times, Cui Hong didn't feel much.
This is different from the previous incident between Ma Chao and the entire tribe of Shaodangqiang. Even Cui Hong, Mr. Cui, said that a few words to Ma Chao as his own student. But now when dealing with the Southern Barbarians, Ma Chao has not done anything to exterminate others, so he naturally did not criticize him as his student, but instead praised him a few words, that means you did the right thing and did it well. After all, Cui Hong has absolutely no good impression of the alien race who rebels against the great man.
-----------------------------------------------------
In his eyes, to be honest, the tribes that surrendered to the Han Dynasty had to stay honestly. Otherwise, even if they were destroyed, to be honest, it was not worth being pitiful. When the Han Dynasty was strong, they did not dare to cause trouble. As a result, now that the Han Dynasty is in chaos, these clowns have all come out. This made Cui Hong feel that if they were to teach such a lesson, they really didn't know "How many eyes are there for Prince Ma". So he praised Ma Chao and the others for a lot of words.
It can be seen that Mr. Cui is in a good mood, but Ma Chao really didn't expect that. For Cui Hong, there are indeed many people who want to see him and flatter him, but the people he sees every day are really limited. Sometimes he can't even see one person, so it's rare for Ma Chao to come. And he brought so many people, which made him feel very happy. I don't know how many years have passed. There have not been so many people in his family.
Of course Cui Hong also knew that because of his student, so many people followed him. However, even if his student didn't come, some people wanted to visit him even if they squeezed their heads. But Cui Hong really looked down on those people.
-----------------------------------------------------
So he really is, he would rather not see anyone every day than see those who flatter. This is also considered a persistence and pride of his Confucian scholar. After all, in Cui Hong's eyes, if he sees them, no matter what they say or do, it means that he is in harmony with them.
Cui Hong has always attached great importance to his reputation. Even though he had no choice but to surrender to the Yellow Turbans to repay his kindness, he was actually ashamed of this in his heart. If it weren't for his own students and his son, and he hadn't seen his grandson yet, otherwise he would have had no worries, Cui Hong would have cut it off on his own. He believed that he could only thank the world in this way.
As a result, this matter was not realized. It has to be said that Cui An had no marriage and no children, which is beneficial to say, otherwise something might not have happened.
Although it was considered calm and composed by his students, Cui Hong also knew the difficulties in it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Therefore, Cui Hong also said a few words to Ma Chao, "Although you are returning from a great victory, you are the ones who know the difficulties that are the most. And I don't know how many Liangzhou soldiers died in Yutongshan and Sanjiang City, and they will never come back!"
Cui Hong should say that he is a pure scholar, so sometimes he is a little compassionate, which is normal. Lu Xun is also a scholar, but he is not a pure scholar, at least compared to Cui Hong, he is definitely not. So if it were Lu Xun, he would almost never think so. After all, there are a few who don’t know, and the so-called “one general succeeds and ten thousand bones are woven” is that’s the case.
Ma Chao could only nod and agree with Mr. Cui's words. Actually, I often had this idea before, but to be honest, I have seen it and experienced it a lot. Indeed, I basically didn't think so much. Isn't it? If I used to think so often, I almost didn't think so anymore. Now I almost didn't think so. Is it because I was numb? Maybe, Ma Chao smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart. Now, there is almost nothing left.
-----------------------------------------------------
After chatting for a few words, Cui Hong kept Ma Chao and the others for dinner here. When Ma Chao saw it, he thought that he could eat here and find someone to work. Although he was busy everywhere, there was not even a servant here. Ma Chao thought that it would be better not to be so troublesome.
So he said to Mr. Cui directly: "Sir, why not go to my grandmother's house together. Anyway, it's not far from here, so I'm just about to go and have a look!"
Cui Hong knew as soon as he heard this, he knew that he was a student who came first and then went to his grandmother's house. Cui Hong was happy, so he agreed directly, "Okay, if that's the case, let's go together!"
No matter what, even though Cui Hong is so old now, he still has good face. There is absolutely no change in this. Ma Chao just smiled and said nothing. This is what he knows. It’s no big deal. Is it normal? If he knows that his students come to see him directly and do not go to see their family first, he will be very happy.
-----------------------------------------------------
So Ma Chao took everyone, including Mr. Cui Hong and Cui, to leave Cui's mansion and go to his grandmother's house.
It was supposed to be going first, but Cui Hong was her husband after all, and Ma Chao thought that there was nothing wrong with seeing her teacher first, so he went to her husband first. As for her grandmother's place, to be honest, she would actually understand her grandson.
As a result, when he arrived at his grandmother, Ma Chao's grandmother could indeed understand his thoughts as a lord. After all, he is in his thirties, and he is a lord, and he is a lord. So no matter how you say it, even if you are for your subordinates to see, this must be like this, so she has nothing to understand.
Finally, I had a dinner with everyone at my grandmother's house, and even Ma Chao's uncle came back. After all, Ma Chao's status is now, even if his family doesn't have to curry favor with him, they will definitely not make the relationship tense. (To be continued)
