Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 821
The next day, when Liu Chan arrived here, Wang Erlang was still busy. Seeing Liu Chan's arrival, he hurriedly bowed to see him. Liu Chan smiled and didn't rush to ask him, so he found a place and sat down. After coming down, he waited for Erlang to serve him a bowl of delicious meat porridge, and then he ate it happily. I have to say that the meat porridge in this restaurant is really delicious.

Liu Chan was eating when he suddenly saw a young man not far away who was eating with his head bowed. He froze for a moment and called out, "Yuan Xun?"

The young man who was eating looked up and saw Liu Chan. The young man was tall and slender, but his face was a little long, and he looked a little handsome. He was smiling, very sunny, and he felt like a spring breeze. The young man He hurriedly stood up and walked to Liu Chan's side. The two greeted each other with a smile, and then sat down together.

There was another person standing beside the young man, and he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down as well, and then introduced: "My lord, this is the son of Sikong and my good friend, his name is Liu Chan Liu Jun, this one is called Wang Yuan , is the thief Cao under my command." After he introduced the two, Liu Chan smiled and nodded with the man, which was regarded as acquaintance.

The two chatted pleasantly for a long time, and the young man said with a smile: "Originally, these days are relatively busy, you don't know, the graduation system will be changed, I heard that I have to go to school, so do I Helpless. It took me five years to get out of Taixue, but I still have to continue my studies. By the way, why don’t we go together. I heard that you can get a good job if you go out of the academy.”

Liu Chan shook his head hastily, and said, "Forget it, with my appearance, I can't even get into the Imperial Academy, let alone the academy you are going to." Liu Chan was suddenly a little curious, and asked: " What does this school teach?"

"Don't be surprised to teach Gengzu. Xun Shangshu wants to set up such a school, and he will make Gengzu an official, and even set up a mansion to be in charge. My father really wants this position. Let me go to school and express my approval of the new system, alas, I am miserable." The young man shook his head.

"Haha, Yuan Xun also hates going to school so much? No, you were so active when we went to school together."

"Liu Jun doesn't know. My father said that after the establishment of this school, Man Chong will most likely be in charge of the altar wine. He will be the altar wine. You can think about what our future will be like."

The two chatted for a long time before the young man and Wang Yuan left. Liu Chan also finished his meat porridge and was about to ask Wang Erlang for a question. Wang Erlang was already standing beside him and said with a smile: "Liu Chan Jun, what you said yesterday, after I went back, I thought about it for a long time, because I was afraid that I would not be capable enough to spoil Liu Jun's affairs, if Liu Jun doesn't dislike it, I would rather help Liu Jun do things."

Liu Chan was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, then I will send someone to ask if there is a suitable courtyard around here. If it doesn't work, I will go to the Luoyang County Government to try to build a courtyard around here. Can you read?" Hearing Liu Chan's question, Wang Erlang patted his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't know many people."

"No problem, no problem, I will send my servants to teach you how to read. It is not okay for you who cannot read, because the stories you tell need to be written into books, recited, and then told. I will collect more I will let you tell the story!" Liu Chan sat down and ordered, but Wang Erlang bit the bullet and could only agree.

Liu Chan ordered a lot more, then took out a certificate from his arms, handed it to Wang Erlang, said with a smile: "This is my certificate in the bank, you can go to the bank later, you can take out the money , It’s not too much, it’s my heart.” This is not the first time Wang Erlang has encountered a voucher, and recently many diners are willing to pay with vouchers.

This has become a symbol of the status of the rich. Kuhaha usually uses copper coins. Only this kind of rich and noble people are unwilling to bring too much copper coins, but they want to take money to go shopping, so the certificate is in the Luoyang's inner workings started, Wang Erlang didn't look at the amount of money recorded on the voucher, but just kept thanking him, and then sent Liu Chan away.

After Liu Chan left, he just looked at the evidence in his hand.

Looking at it this way, his hands trembled with fright, and the evidence almost fell out. Twenty thousand dollars, my God, twenty thousand dollars, all worries in Wang Erlang's heart dissipated in an instant, and he clenched the evidence in his hand. After making up my mind, I must work hard for Liu Jun! !
In the evening, when Wang Erlang returned home, Sanlang Wang Yuan was already waiting at home. When he saw his elder brother coming back, he helped unload the goods again. Then the two sat down. Wang Erlang took out the certificate and said with a smile: "Liu Jun is generous, I haven't realized it yet." Wang Yuan looked at the evidence in his hand, very calmly, he said: "The young master of the Sikong family is naturally generous."

"Also, I've found out that he is about to marry the daughter of the Taiwei's family and his elder brother will follow him. That's a big deal."

The two chatted for a long time, Wang Erlang was a little excited, he asked curiously: "The honored guest you invited today is also a big shot?" Wang Yuan nodded, "That's my superior, called Zhuge Ke is also a man of great background, so Liu Chan has a good relationship with his cousin, and the two of them knew each other, so I specially invited him over."

"Thank you, thank you."

When Zhuge Ke returned to the mansion, his father, Zhuge Jin, was obviously still angry. Even when he was eating, he frowned. No one in the family dared to speak. The atmosphere was a little silent, and Zhuge Ke didn't know what happened. , After eating, Zhuge Jin let out a long sigh, and was about to get up to leave, Zhuge Ke hurriedly followed, and the two returned to the study.

"Father, what happened?"

"Alas," Zhuge Jin sighed, and said, "It's not about changing the government. I'm not saying that I'm greedy for power, but I just think I'm more suitable for this position. I have served as a county lieutenant and county lieutenant for many years in the local area. Served as the captain of Sili, when I went to find Xun Shangshu, Xun Shangshu said that he had already arranged a candidate, so I don’t need to worry about it.”

"I went to visit Guo Shizhong again, and wanted to show him my many plans for Gengzu's Mansion in my heart, but I couldn't even enter the gate of Guo Shizhong." Zhuge Jin was in a very low mood. There are complaints about the local pawn system, because he has served as a county lieutenant in the local area for a long time, and he knows the current situation of pawns very well.

He thought about this for a long time, and now there are still many documents in his study, all of which are his thoughts over the years. As a result, I didn't expect that people didn't take him seriously at all.

Zhuge Ke frowned and said, "Why don't you write a letter to my uncle, the relationship between your uncle and His Majesty is so close."

"No, I don't believe it. Being an official is not based on talent, but on relationship? Even though I don't have the talent of your uncle, I have been thinking about this matter for more than ten years, and I don't believe that anyone can do better than me. Even better!", Zhuge Jin said, and continued: "I will go to find someone tomorrow, and I won't believe it, so don't leave, help me sort out the paperwork."

The father and son sorted out Zhuge Jin's original documents overnight, most of which were case studies, and there were also many more local documents, proposals, and so on. They began to think about these things, and the two of them were busy until midnight before falling asleep.

The next day, just early in the morning, Zhuge Jin left in a carriage, which was full of documents and materials he had prepared these days.

He didn't go to Houde Hall to find the emperor, although the emperor would probably meet him, but Zhuge Jin still didn't want to go to the emperor, the emperor had a close relationship with his younger brother, Zhuge Jin didn't want to rely on his younger brother's relationship to fulfill his ambition, He went to find someone whom no one wanted to find, Man Chong.

Man Chong was stunned for a long time when he learned that someone was visiting. In his mansion, he hadn't had any visitors in these years, and even his subordinates didn't dare to come to him. The key is because Man Chong's temper is too Stinky, when guests come, Man Chong will warn him that according to Han law, ministers cannot form cliques for personal gain, and when subordinates come, he warns against bribery, gifts, and flattery.

His cold appearance scared away countless guests.

Zhuge Jin waited in fear, he didn't know if the servant of the Xingfu would meet him, but he only waited for a while, and then a servant went out and invited him into the mansion, Zhugejin walked in The mansion, Man Chong's mansion is not bad, not as poor and simple as Zhuge Jin expected, but rather luxurious.

"Meet Manjun!"

"Ah."

Man Chong nodded and asked Zhuge Jin to sit down. Afterwards, there was a long period of silence. The two looked at each other without saying anything, and no one spoke. Looking at him, wiping the sweat from his forehead, Man Chong was silent, he didn't know what to say, the atmosphere was very awkward, it was Zhuge Jin who broke the awkward situation.

"Mr. Man, it's like this. I heard about the innovation of the pawn. Speaking of which, I had an innovative idea about this pawn a long time ago. I have prepared a lot of documents. Man Chong may help me to see it. Take a look? If there is something wrong, please help me to correct it?" Zhuge Jin asked, Man Chong heard it, nodded, and agreed.

Zhuge Jin was delighted to have someone bring in the documents he had prepared and put them in front of Man Chong.

Man Chong picked it up and flipped through it. Man Chong was very serious about his work. He read word by word and didn't find it troublesome. After reading for about two hours, Zhuge Jin's legs felt a little numb. At the beginning, he said: "You think very well. You have made many proposals earlier than Mr. Xun. It is very good. I have no way to advise you on this aspect."

"Mr. Man may help me send this document to the Hall of Houde, and let His Majesty take a look. I heard that a replacement mansion will be set up. I want to see if I can be the servant. I am a humble person."

"okay."

Man Chong immediately agreed, Zhuge Jin was overjoyed, he was prepared to be kicked out by Man Chong, unexpectedly, Man Chong agreed so quickly, Man Chong stood up and said: "I can't be alone Man, that's it, you follow me, and we go to the Hall of Houde together, I think it's really suitable for you to be this servant."

"Thank you Manjun!"
