Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 125 Xu Shu and Pang Tong

Xu Shu and Pang Tong hurried to Xuchang after hearing Sima Hui and Pang Degong's suggestion.

Both of them were poor people, and they walked all the way.It was not until after Nanyang that I met a group of convoys going to Xuchang and got on a ride.

This convoy is mighty, and there are several hundred members of Guangmenke. It is impossible for ordinary people to gather such a team.

The same is true.

The owners of this convoy are He and Yin from Nanyang.

As a family of Confucian classics, the two also rushed to Xuchang following the upsurge of new learning, wanting to find out if there is any opportunity.

I happened to meet Xu Shu and Pang Tong on the road. When I learned that they were the disciples of Sima Hui and Pang Degong, they were very enthusiastic and agreed to take them for a ride.

"Two."

At this time, an elegant and handsome middle-aged literati came to Xu Shu and Pang Tong and asked, "This is going to Xuchang soon, where can you go?"

Beside the middle-aged scribe was a burly man: "Yes, you two are unfamiliar with Xuchang, do you have a place to stay?"

The middle-aged scribe was called Yin Lang, who belonged to Yin's family in Nanyang.

This strong man is called He Kui, and he belongs to the He family in Nanyang.

They came here together because they wanted to form a good relationship with Xu Shu and Pang Tong. After all, Nanyang is not far from Jingzhou, and they have heard the reputations of Sima Hui and Duke Pang De.

"Thank you for your hard work. The teacher asked us to bring the greeting cards and go to visit the Xun family in Yingchuan."

As a native of Yingchuan, Sima Hui was not enthusiastic about his official career, but he had a high reputation among the scholars. Naturally, he had a close relationship with the Xun family, and he was not worried that his disciples could not find a place to live temporarily.

Hearing what Xu Shu said, both He Kui and Yin Lang felt a little envious in their eyes.

After all, he is a disciple of Confucianism, so he can get in touch with everyone in the local area wherever he goes.

It's like me and others, even though I came to Xuchang, I still have to worry about whether the person in Xuchang can accept me and others...

The enthusiastic Pang Tong didn't notice the difference between He Kui and Yin Lang, but took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Aren't you going to Xuchang to discuss new learning this time? Why don't you also go to Xunfu with me and Yuan Zhi? "

"Shi Yuan!"

Xu Shu glared at Pang Tong, somewhat dissatisfied with the generosity of this friend.

Although Pang Tong is famous and capable, he has never been beaten by the society after all.

On the other hand, Xu Shu didn't spend as much time studying as Pang Tong, but he walked out of the gate of hell many times, and he had more consideration in doing things.

They visited the Xun family, which was obviously borrowed from Sima Hui's favor. They were already embarrassed, so how could they bring outsiders?
"No need."

He Kui and Yin Lang didn't even think about clinging to the Xun family, after all, they and the others had a clearer goal: "I'm waiting to go to Xuchang, and I'm going to visit Marquis Shen first."

Yin Min and He Yan's mother, the Yin family, belonged to the same family, and Yin Min was even considered He Yan's cousin according to the genealogy.

He Kui's lineage is somewhat related to He Jin's, and can be regarded as He Yan's uncle.

Both families are related to He Yan, so they put the first stop on He Yan.

"Marquis Shen?"

He Kui and Yin Min just mentioned something casually, but it aroused the interest of Xu Shu and Pang Tong.

"However, during the Battle of Guandu, he persuaded the enemy to surrender, and then ascended and defeated the Yuan camp first, Captain Yao He Yan?"

He Kui Yin Min was a little surprised: "The two of you are in Jingzhou but you have heard of the name of Marquis Shen?"

"Naturally! If you haven't heard about such deeds, wouldn't you be really ignorant?"

Pang Tong was quite talkative: "In Jingzhou, even three-year-old children know the reputation of Marquis Shen. It is often said that he is the reincarnation of Huo Huoqi, and he wants to revive the Han Dynasty!"

"I didn't expect the two of you to have some intersection with Marquis Shen, but I'm blind."

Xu Shu was also curious: "There are rumors that Marquis Shen is extremely miraculous. Since the two of you are relatives of Marquis Shen, have you heard of it?"

He Kui: ...

Yin Min: ...

Although they are relatives of He Yan, He Yan was born in Luoyang, and later went directly to Xuchang.This Nanyang hometown... I really haven't been there.

Xu Shu saw that the expressions of the two of them were different, so he stopped asking questions in a timely manner.

Pang Tong didn't know how to restrain himself, and kept asking He Yan about various things, which made He Kui and Yin Min even more embarrassed.

After finally entering Xuchang City, Xu Shu dragged Pang Tong to bid farewell to He Kui and Yin Min, and went to the Xun's mansion to ask questions.

He Kui and Yin Min were relieved to see them off, especially after Pang Tong was sent away.

But Pang Tong is just an episode, and He Yan is more important to them.

"First go to the Sikong mansion to send a greeting card, and then let my aunt introduce me, and then I will go to visit Marquis Shen."

"As it should be."

Together, He Kui and Yin Min decided to use He Yan's mother, Yin Shi, as the breakthrough point.

So the two each prepared a generous gift and sent it to Mrs. Yin, wanting to ask for a meeting.

The attendants of Sikong Mansion heard that it was Mrs. Yin's relatives who came, so they did not dare to neglect, so they hurriedly notified Mrs. Yin.

"He Kui?"

"Yin Min?"

Mrs. Yin thought for a long time before she finally remembered Yin Min: "He should be the child of one of my elder brothers. He was just a young man who had just reached the crown when I married into the He family."

As for He Kui, Mrs. Yin also heard He Xian mention it twice, and knew that there was indeed such a number one figure in the Nanyang He Clan.

"Since it's a relative who is here, it's natural to see him."

But Mrs. Yin is about to give birth now, and she couldn't stand the cold, so she had to ask He Yan to meet He Kui and Yin Min on her behalf.

He Kui and Yin Min didn't expect to meet He Yan so easily, so when they saw He Yan, they both looked happy.

"I met Marquis Shen."

"Both of you are exempt."

He Yan, who was captured by Mrs. Yin, had a gentle attitude: "The last time I was framed by thieves, it was the Yin family who invited Mr. Hua here. I will never forget this kindness."

"Where."

Seeing He Yan's acknowledgment of this kindness, Yin Min knew in his heart that the thread had been hit.

On the contrary, He Kui, who should be related to He Yan, was a little embarrassed at this moment, and sat aside, not knowing what to say.

In fact, He Yan is not very familiar with the Nanyang He family...

After all, He Jin is the only seedling left in his family.Even if there is a blood relationship, it has been more than three generations.

The brilliance of a gentleman will decline in the third life, and beheaded in the fifth life.

Nanyang He's love is already very thin.

I didn't see that when Mrs. Yin rescued He Yan before, she would rather go to Nanyang Yin's for help than Nanyang He's?This incident alone can explain many problems.

Fortunately, He Kui himself knew the status of the He family in Nanyang in He Yan's heart, so he kept his posture very low, and he was cautious, not daring to call He Yan's family.

"The two visits this time must be for the new study?"

After a few polite words, the two sides also got to the point.

"I don't know if the Yin and He families are interested in the scriptures of who ruled? If it is the Chen family of Yingchuan and the Yang family of Hongnong, I can recommend them for you. If you want to see Duke Hua, you may have to wait for a while."

Chen Qun and Yang Biao are both busy at home, how to eat and even divide the cake, it is easy to find him.But after Huaxin left Xuchang to spread the new learning, there was no news, and he didn't know where he is now.

As everyone knows, He Yan's casual sentence once again made Yin Min and He Kui click their tongues, and they were secretly startled.

One is the Sangong of the current dynasty, and the other is the head of the Chen family in Yingchuan, but He Yan said that he can let them see him at any time.This could not help but let the two have a deeper understanding of He Yan's current status.

The two looked at each other, and their hearts became more determined when they came.

Yin Min hesitated and said: "Marquis Shen, to be honest, He Kui and I mainly came to find you this time."

"Looking for me?"

Seeing that He Kui had spoken, he no longer concealed it: "Actually, the main purpose of my visit this time is to seek a position as a retainer in Shenhou's mansion."

"The retainer?"

He Yan's eyes gradually became strange.

The people from the Nanyang He family came here to hug their thighs?
Say it earlier!
Just now He Yan still met He Kui and Yin Min with the attitude of "entertaining distant relatives for his mother", but now his own interests are involved.

The vassals of the aristocratic family... To put it bluntly, they are all senior laborers who are in charge of their own relatives and are in charge of the family business.

The Xun family in Yingchuan, the Chen family in Yingchuan, and even the Cao family and Xiahou family all have such existences, quietly managing the family business behind their backs.

Naturally, He Yan also has them.

Those hundreds of hectares of land and tens of thousands of tenants all need someone to take care of them.And this person is Bian Bing who has nothing to do right now.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bian Bing will return to the Bian family no matter what, or assist Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and the others, and will stay with He Yan soon.

Now that He Kui and Yin Min came over, they were really sleepy and gave them pillows.

The issue is……

He Yan really doesn't trust He Kui and Yin Min.

Although the two parties are related by blood, their character, integrity, and even ability are all very doubtful.

Don't wait for He Yan to be exhausted on the front line, and the uncles in the back lie leisurely on He Yan's body and drink blood, then He Yan will really be treated as a big wrong!
He Kui and Yin Min seemed to have seen the distrust in He Yan's eyes, and they both acted like master and servant to He Yan: "If we have something to lose to Marquis Shen in the future, Marquis Shen naturally doesn't need to worry about the blood of his relatives. , Just behead us!"

Such a low profile made He Yan a little flattered.

They behave like this, they don't look like they are here to be retainers, they are clearly here to be domestic servants!

He Yan struggled for a while, but finally did not agree immediately.

"I will first ask Brother Ziyang to inspect the people you brought. If you are qualified, you can naturally stay, but if you are not qualified... then please go back home."

When it comes to the talent of knowing people, the old Liu family seems to have an extra bonus.

Liu Bang will not talk about it, it belongs to the level of cheating.

Liu Bei is also very powerful, and has screened many talents for his future Shu Han regime.

As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye naturally inherited this talent.

In later generations, when Liu Ye saw Wei Xi and Meng Da at the first sight, he concluded that they would rebel against each other.

Later, the two really turned against each other...

Now pulling Liu Ye over to pick out some retainers for him, doesn't it seem like it's too much, right?
