——————————————————————————————

In Xinye, Henan Province today, there is a river named Lihe that flows from north to south.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Li River was also called Jishui, and it was an extremely important river under the administration of Nanyang County.During the Warring States Period, Jishui was the boundary river between Qin and Chu.In the 25th year of King Huai of Chu, Qin and Chu held the Yellow Thorn Alliance, and since then, Qin and Chu have lived in peace for many years...

On the east side of Jishui, there is a county town.

In ancient times, the sun rose in the east, so it was called Yang.

The county seat is in the Yang of Jishui, so it is called Jiyang.After Qin destroyed Chu State, Jiyang was brought under the rule of Nanyang County and belonged to the territory of Jingzhou.

Deng Village is located outside Jiyang County.

Located on the banks of the Jishui River, it was also called Zhanglou Village 800 years later, just a short distance from the Yellow Thorn.

Deng Village is not big, and [-]% of the people living in the village have the surname Deng.Most of the rest are relatives of the Deng family, and they can be regarded as members of the same family.

As far as Jingzhou is concerned, Deng Village is not enough.

But in Jiyang County, the small village of Deng is undoubtedly the largest clan.

Deng Ji, the son of the contemporary patriarch, is now a general under Jingzhou Mu Liubiao, stationed in Xinye County, and at the same time taking into account the safety of Jiyang.Before Jianzhong General Zhang Xiu occupied Wancheng, Deng Ji was Liu Biao's first barrier against Cao Cao.But now, Zhang Xiu is in charge of this barrier.

On the eighth day of December in the first year of Jian'an, a carriage drove slowly into Deng Village in the morning light.

The drivers were two burly men who looked powerful and fearsome.The carriage was covered with dust and mud, and it was obvious at a glance that it had traveled a long distance.People from Deng Village poked their heads out of curiosity...not out of vigilance, but more out of curiosity, where is this carriage going?The village is so big, there are only four or five families with carriages.

Who is sitting in this car?

"Hey, they seem to be going to Deng Laosan's house?"

"Third brother? Isn't it? How can that wretch have such relatives? Look at the horse that pulls the cart, even in Mr. Deng's family, there are few horses that can match it. These days, it is impossible to use such a good horse-drawn cart." , the background is definitely not small, maybe I just went to ask for directions!"

"makes sense!"

A village woman muttered: "If Deng Laosan really had such a relative, it would be impossible for Deng Cai to deal with it so badly... I heard that I haven't been home for three days. I stay in the yamen all day, and I feel as if Like a dog, in my opinion, it is definitely not Deng Laosan."

"...Isn't Deng Cai a little too much?
Anyway, Deng Ji is also his brother, he is the third child, how can there be any brotherhood?You say, why doesn't the patriarch care? "

"Whatever it is, haven't you heard that the cousin of Deng Cai's natal family is now the daughter-in-law of the Kuai family.

What is the origin of the Kuai family?Even if General Deng saw the members of the Kuai family, he would have to stay away... Tell me, does Master Deng dare to stand out? "

"What kind of daughter-in-law, isn't she the third bedroom of a branch of the Kuai family..."

"The third room is also a daughter-in-law. Anyway, Deng Cai is now a big deal. I heard that his old mother is thinking about letting him go to Xiangyang to work. How can Deng Ji be compared?"

For a while, people were talking about it.

It was amidst these discussions that the carriage stopped at the gate of a small courtyard.

"Is Ah Nan at home? Ah Nan, are you at home?"

The thick black man who was driving jumped off the carriage and shouted loudly at the gate of the courtyard.

After a while, I saw a slit in the hut in the yard with a squeak, and a woman with fluffy hair and a pale complexion poked her head out.

"father?"

When the woman saw the black man, she was stunned.

She quickly opened the door and ran out in surprise, shouting as she ran, "Father, why are you here? Uncle Wang, are you here too?"

In the blink of an eye, she came to the courtyard gate and opened the firewood door.

But as soon as she came out, the woman was stunned again.

I saw a thirty-year-old woman slowly walking out of the carriage with the support of two young men...

"Mom? Ah Fu?"

——————————————————————————————

The people on the carriage were Cao Ji's family.

When Cao Ji first saw the woman in front of him, he was also stunned!

Is this really his daughter?
Cao Ji couldn't help but gasped. In his memory, although his daughter Cao Nan couldn't be said to be an alluring beauty, she was quite pretty.But the woman in front of him was as unkempt as a country girl, and it was really impossible for him to connect with the daughter in his memory.

Cao Peng was also secretly looking at the woman who came out of the yard.

In memory, my sister seems to be older than him, but she also seems to be the only one.

But the woman in front of him looked very old.The complexion is not very good, and the clothes are a little ragged, which makes it look a little old.

In the memory of the dead ghost Cao Peng, Cao Nan's living conditions seemed to be very good.

But looking at it like this, it doesn't seem too good...

However, Mrs. Zhang recognized who the woman in front of her was at a glance.

"Ah Nan, why do you..."

"Mother, it's really you!" Cao Nan was so excited, she ran over and hugged Mrs. Zhang, with a bright smile on her face, making her seem much younger all of a sudden, "Mother, why are you here? I heard that Ah Fu was sick, and I said that I would go back to visit him in a few days."

At this time, Cao Nan looked like a girl.

"Your father and I... come and see you!"

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything about defecting.

However, Cao Nan is obviously a smart woman. She immediately saw that her parents seemed to be in trouble, so she quickly turned sideways and said, "Father, mother, Uncle Wang, let's go into the room and talk... Hutou, you are so tall! Ah Fu...why?" You didn't even say hello when you saw me?"

"Uh... my sister!"

Cao Peng scratched his head and called out awkwardly.

Asking him to call a girl sister, even if this girl is already married, he is still not used to it...

In fact, it's more than just making my sister unaccustomed.

When he first woke up, he was not used to even calling Cao Ji and Zhang Shi.

Wang Meng drove the car into the yard.

Cao Nan looked excited, and at the same time glanced at the carriage curiously.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this carriage was a status symbol.Not everyone can own it, nor can everyone ride it.

Cao Nan's husband, Deng Ji, is also a member of the government.

But every day I still have to walk to the county seat on my legs, and I can't even do it with an ox cart.

However, Cao Nan was also wondering: where did parents get the money to buy such a good car?
Cao Nan's residence is not very big.

From the looks of it, it seems to be about the same size as the house of Cao Ji and his wife in Zhongyang Town.

It was impossible to get so many people all at once, so Wang Meng and his son simply didn't go in. Instead, they fetched clean water from the well and cleaned the vehicles in the yard.

"Father, mother, why are you here?"

Cao Ji and his wife looked at each other, and after hesitating for a while, Cao Ji said: "A Nan, we are here to join you and your uncle and grandson."

Uncle Sun is Deng Ji's cousin.

Because he is a three-year-old at home, he is called uncle and grandson.

The ancients arranged the size according to brother, middle, uncle and season, which was also a convenient way to identify at that time.

Cao Nan was startled when he heard this, and said in shock: "Father, mother... Could it be that something happened at home?"

"It's a long story."

Facing their daughter, Cao Ji and his wife had nothing to hide, and told the whole story in detail.

"Your brother said that Zhongyang Town can't stay any longer, so it's better to come to Jiyang to find my sister. We thought, it's the same reason...Your Uncle Wang was implicated because of your mother, so he came with us. Of course, if If it’s difficult, forget it!”

Of course Cao Ji would not tell Cao Nan about Cao Peng's murder in Zhongyang Town.

As for Cao Peng, sitting next to Mrs. Zhang, watching her sister quietly.From the expression on Cao Nan's face, he knew that his sister was really in trouble.

Cao Nan thought for a while, then said softly, "Father, it's not difficult to do this earlier.

It's just that the county magistrate of Jiyang County has just changed, and the uncle and grandson... father, mother, and daughter will not hide from you.The relationship between Uncle Sun and his elder brother Deng Cai has not been very good.Before that, the county magistrate of Jiyang regarded his uncle and grandson very highly, and Deng Cai felt jealous because of this.Although the uncle and grandson and Deng Cai are a family, but Deng Cai's mother is the big family, and Deng Cai's cousin has married into the Kuai family, and now he is in full swing.The new county magistrate is a son of the Kuai family, so he has a blind date with Deng Cai... Now Deng Cai has become his uncle's boss, making things difficult for him all day long, and has not allowed him to rest for three days.

Otherwise, you should stay here first.

When my uncle and grandson come back in the evening, I will discuss it with him... Although he is not as good as before, I think he can help. "

"If so..."

Looking at her daughter's haggard appearance, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

"Father, why don't we wait and see?"

Cao Ji nodded, "Okay, then wait and see."

"Mother, rest first. It's been a hard journey, and you must be hungry. I'm going to prepare some food for you..."

Cao Nan is a filial woman. After letting Cao Ji and others settle down, she went out with a basket.

She also knew that whether it was Cao Ji or Wang Meng, they had a lot of food.Although there is some food in the house, it is not enough for these people to eat...

"Mother, sister doesn't seem to be having a good time either."

Cao Ji and his wife looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Cao Nan's life is not easy, and he and his wife can feel it.

"If this is the case, don't embarrass your uncle and grandson.

It's also difficult for him to do in the government. If he loses his job because of our affairs, I'm afraid it will be even more sad in my heart. "

"Brother Wang, what's your idea?"

Wang Meng walked into the room at this time, and he felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang's question.

"Actually, my father and son are easy to deal with... If it is impossible, I will take the tiger head to find my former brother. But you... If it is impossible, let's go to Xiangyang? It's just that there are no relatives or old friends in Xiangyang. It’s not easy to get a foothold.”

For a time, everyone was in trouble.

But after a moment of silence, Wang Mai suddenly said: "Ah Fu, do you have any ideas?"

That's right, Cao Peng hasn't spoken all this time!

The gazes of Cao Ji, Wang Meng and others were all focused on Cao Peng.

Cao Peng smiled wryly: I have never even gone out of Zhongyang Town, so how could I know what to do?

He thought for a while, coughed, and was about to speak.At this moment, a woman ran in from the outside, yelling, "It's bad, my uncle Sun's family was beaten at the entrance of the village!"

"what?"

When Cao Ji and Wang Meng heard this, they immediately stood up.

"Which one is so arrogant, dare to bully my Nan?"

While talking, two burly men rushed out of the room like two mad tigers...
