"Take it, don't freeze it."
While the father and son were talking, the woman handed Tang Pozi into her son's hands.
"Thank you, mother."
The woman smiled kindly, and the family atmosphere was harmonious.
The young man touched Mrs. Tang, and his cold palms felt warm. He remembered something and said with a smile, "Thanks to Liu Xi for providing enough bamboo paper, otherwise, Daddy wouldn't be able to take away those treasures. I can leave it behind..."
The middle-aged man said, "If I leave you behind, I will not leave behind half my life's treasure."
youth:"……"
What a real dad!
Thinking of the suffering he suffered these days, the young man was also depressed.
"Father, who is this Liu Xi?" The young man held Mrs. Tang in one hand and held his chin in the other hand, wondering, "Liu Xi is just a county magistrate, but now he has taken over the entire Maruzhou. You can tell at a glance that this man is very ambitious. What's the difference between him and Huang Song? The fifth uncle is still helping Huang Song. Could it be that Liu Xi is more reliable than Huang Song? He came all the way to Xiangyang County in the cold weather..."
The middle-aged man raised his brows and gathered them together.
"How can it be the same?"
When the young man heard this, he tensed up subconsciously, fearing that he would be scolded by his father.
In front of outsiders, the middle-aged man is taciturn, but in front of his relatives, he does not hesitate to speak.
"You only see Liu Xi alone and forget that he has another identity - the son of Liu She. Liu Xi only has one Maruzhou, but there are also Chongzhou and Hujun on Liu She's side. How can you underestimate this father and son? ?” The middle-aged man lowered his eyes and stroked his beard and said, “Huang Song is indeed good, but my father doesn’t like his temperament. Besides, Liu Xi has a life-saving favor for his father, so he doesn’t choose who he chooses. ?”
The middle-aged man was Cheng Cheng. When he and his wife rushed to Beijing, they were chased by strange enemies on the way, and the couple almost died.
By chance, Jiang Pengji was nearby and rescued the couple, and the two families formed a good relationship.
Cheng Cheng took his wife and children to Xiangyang County to join Jiang Pengji, which was actually a helpless move.
He was originally the county magistrate of Sui'an County, Fufeng County, Haozhou.
Because he hated the intrigues in officialdom, he stayed in the position of county magistrate and was never promoted.
Not long ago, he encountered an annoying thing.
Cheng Cheng has an uncle who is younger than him - Cheng Jing, whose cousin is Youmo, who is also known as the "Fifth Uncle" among young people.
Cheng Jing was loyal to Huang Song, and Huang Song tried to use Sui'an County as a springboard to encroach on the entire Fufeng County.
If this is the case, it doesn't matter to him. As long as it does not harm the people under his rule, he can resign and retire and hand over Sui'an County.
After all, under the current situation, even a mere county magistrate cannot protect this territory.
But after several trials, Cheng Cheng found that it was impossible to fire him and leave.
When Huang Song takes Fufeng County, he will forcefully join the group.
How can this be done?
Cheng Cheng received a secret letter from his uncle Cheng Jing, thought about it for a long time, and decided to pack up his belongings and prepare to run away with his family.
In order to take care of his brother-in-law Cheng Jing's face, Cheng Cheng handed over Sui'an County to Huang Song, hoping that he would treat the people well.
Cheng Cheng never thought of returning to Langya Cheng Family, because Langya County is also a key place for military strategists to fight for. Now that the world is in chaos, that place is even more unsafe. After much thought, Cheng Cheng set his sights on the Liu family, the largest force in the north, and immediately decided to defect to Liu Xi.
First of all, he and Liu She were friends who had been exchanging letters for several years. As gentlemen, he trusted Liu.
Secondly, Dongqing is internally torn apart, with large and small forces rising. The Liu family is low-key and has the strongest overall strength. It feels safe to join the Liu family.
Thirdly, Liu Xi has been a life-saving benefactor to the couple. Based on the principle of leaving nothing to outsiders, the Liu family will of course be given priority.
Ask him why he didn’t defect to Liu She?
As father and son, Liu She and Liu Xi, it doesn't matter which one they go to, of course they choose the one closest to them.
After listening to Cheng Cheng's words, the young man muttered, "My son thinks that the people that Fifth Uncle likes will definitely be good."
Thinking of Cheng Jing, Cheng Cheng's eyebrows gathered together.
To be honest, he still had some grudges about Huang Song's background as eunuch, and he really couldn't figure out why Cheng Jing chose such a lord.
Not long after, Xiangyang County was close at hand.
Cheng Cheng's motorcade has dozens of carriages, and it looks majestic and powerful.
Not surprisingly, they were stopped by the city gate guards and asked to inspect their belongings.
Cheng Cheng was very cooperative and led his wife and children out of the car.
The guard opened the curtain of the carriage and inspected it with a look of horror in his eyes. The carriage was filled with bamboo slips and books bound on bamboo paper. It was packed to the brim... No wonder the horses were so laborious when pulling the carriage. It turned out to be so. Heavy.
The guards are not shabby people either. Those who can afford to read are probably from well-off families.
Anyone with so many books must be from a noble family.
Cheng Cheng reported to the door of the house. When the guard heard this, he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly sent someone to notify the boss of the Government Affairs Department.
"The other party claims to be the Langya Cheng family, and his name is Cheng Cheng?"
Xu Ke worked all night long last night, and the bags under his eyes were swollen and blue, as if he had indulged in an act of abuse and wanted to hurt his body.
He originally wanted to catch up on his sleep and wake up to fight again, but the messenger told him that Cheng Cheng was coming.
Qi Guanrang was surprised, "Who is this person?"
never heard of that.
Xu Ke knew Cheng Cheng. Although he did not have much communication with Cheng Cheng, he admired Cheng Cheng's integrity very much and secretly admired him. "Although that gentleman is not famous, he is an admirable scholar. My lord, you must know him." When you come, you will definitely be very happy.”
After hearing what Xu Ke said, Qi Guanrang became interested and wanted to meet this scholar who was praised by Xu Ke.
Xu Ke said again, "But, I don't know what Mr. Cheng's purpose is. Why did he come to Xiangyang County at this time?"
When he saw Cheng Cheng's motorcade and his treasures, his expression almost cracked.
This gentleman is really a character. He likes to drag his treasured books with him when he goes out, and never forgets to bring them wherever he goes.
Qi Guanrang's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw countless fairies falling from the sky.
For a studious scholar, what is more attractive than thousands of books?
Jiang Pengji was not in Xiangyang County, so the task of entertaining Cheng Cheng fell on Xu Ke.
First of all, we must find out Cheng Cheng's purpose.
Cheng Cheng did not hide anything and told Xu Ke and Qi Guanrang about his situation directly, which made Xu Ke and Qi Guanrang flattered.
This is a windfall!
Not to mention Cheng Cheng's weight, the ten thousand volumes of books he brought alone are worth countless treasures.
Because Jiang Pengji was not there, Xu Ke and Qi Guanrang discussed privately and arranged Cheng Cheng's family in the best house in the area.
These two are not fools. The talents who come to their territory are their people. How can they let the cooked duck fly away?
Idiot? Huang Song was shot in the knee for no reason.
Cheng Cheng accepted it with a smile and lived with his wife and children. Xu Ke turned around and sent an urgent secret letter to Jiang Pengji.
Although Cheng Cheng is not an employee who can be exploited, he can help Jiang Pengji train employees who can be exploited!
Thinking of the busyness of this period, Xu Ke wished that his master would fly back with wings at this moment.
I believe that according to the nature of his master, he can definitely trick Cheng Cheng into helping willingly.
