Cao Thief

Chapter 595
Until many years later, Du Ji, who was the governor of the navy at the time, still had tears in his eyes when he met Cao Peng for the first time.

"My son and I have one hope!
The so-called wealth, in fact, was like a dream to me at the time.Mr. Gain picked up the child, not caring about the child's ragged clothes.I still remember that the son's boots stained the son's robe.But the young master didn't blame him at all, instead he told me that he wanted to seek a fortune.

From then on, I knew that the young master was the one I was looking for all my life, the one I could follow..."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++
Du Ji readily agreed and was willing to go to Nanyang with Cao Peng.

Cao Peng is also very happy about this, as his team in Nanyang has grown to one-third.At that moment, Cao Peng asked Du Ji to move out from Caochang Street first and temporarily place him in Fengchehou's Mansion.Anyway, there was no one in the house, so Cao Peng didn't have to worry about his parents not agreeing.Caochang Street is too noisy and not suitable for living.Moving to Fengchehou Mansion, as far as Cao Peng is concerned, it is also convenient for him to call.

Before Du Ji left, Cao Peng first borrowed [-] guan from Mrs. Guo and gave them to Du Ji.

"Give Xiaoshu a change of clothes, don't treat me harshly again.

Later, I will tell Mr. Puyang to let Xiaoshu go to school first.As for the fee, don't worry about it, I will take care of it for him.I will send someone to clarify with him at the city gate.From tomorrow onwards, you will come to my place to do business. I have many things to discuss with my friends.Alright, go back and tidy up, I will send someone to your house later, pick you up and live in my house first. "

"The son is kind and righteous, and the uncle will obey his death."

Du Ji finally couldn't bear it, and cried bitterly.

After ups and downs and ups and downs, now I finally see hope again.

He wept bitterly, not for his own fate, but for his dead wife.If the wife is still alive today, she will be extremely happy.He traveled from Hanzhong Fucheng to Jingzhou for [-] years, thanks to his wife's care and encouragement.Now, he finally has a future, but his wife is no longer there.Du Ji is very strong!But no matter how strong a person is, in this situation, it is difficult to control.

Cao Peng patted Du Ji on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Don't do that, you see, Xiao Shu was frightened."

Du Ji wiped away tears and looked down at his son.

Du Shu is already eight years old, but he looks like a six or seven-year-old child, and he is thin and thin.

At this time, Du Shu also had tears in his eyes, holding onto Du Ji's robe tightly.Du Ji took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, bowed and said, "My lord, don't wait, and there is no need to send someone to pick up my father and son. After Ji goes home and tidies up, he will go to the Marquis Mansion to obey orders."

"Hey, now that I have a future, if I don't tell others, wouldn't it be Jinyi Night Walk?"

While talking, Cao Peng stretched out his hand and rubbed Du Shu's head.

If there is nothing wrong, this little guy is probably the father of Du Yu, the famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty in the future...

However, Cao Peng didn't know that Du Shu in history was also a figure not inferior to Du Yu.Like his father, Du Shu is a capable man with both civil and military skills.Zeng Guan worshiped the governor of Youzhou in the state of Wei, the general of Jianwei, and the captain of Karasuma.His writings on the Eight Sections of Body Theory and Xing Xing Theory became celebrities at that time, and they were valued by scholars, and their reputation was extremely loud.According to the previous document, Du Ji established the Jingzhao Du family.But it was Du Shu who really made the Du family a noble family in Guanzhong.Because, he founded Du's family style that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

There are basically three parts to the criteria for testing a family.

The first criterion is one's previous birth.How many of the above-mentioned three generations in the family are officials?
The second criterion is land property and family wealth.

As an aristocratic family, there are many clan houses, without sufficient land and family wealth, it is difficult to last long.This is also why when Cao Peng was in business, the aristocratic clan would actively join in.For people like Chen Qun and Zhong Yao, money is a thing and they don't take it seriously.But they can ignore it, but the clan cannot ignore it.Sufficient financial resources play a pivotal role for the family, and cannot be taken lightly.

And the third standard is family education.

This point is even far higher than the above two points.

Without the inheritance of family studies, it is impossible to become an aristocratic family and a powerful family.

Take the Yuan Shao family in Runan as an example.

The inheritance of the Yuan family in Runan is the "Shangshu".Yuan's unique understanding of "Book" made them famous.In contrast, He Jin, a general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had a queen and two brothers, He Jin and He Miao.However, it is not recognized by the world, and most of the time, it is even used by scholars.He Jin's family is rich and honorable, and at the same time, there are countless lands... Just because the He family has no family inheritance, when mentioning him, he will always say that he was born as a butcher, and his words will inadvertently reveal contempt.

People say Pang Degong, and they will honor him as "Little Pang Shangshu".

As for this little Pang Shangshu, even Liu Biao did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.

reason?

It is the origin of Pound's public education, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

Du Ji understood what Cao Peng meant and couldn't help but be more grateful.

He has been in Xudu for a year and a half, and he has been looked down upon by many people.

Now, he finally has a future. Cao Peng sent chariots and horses to support Du Ji and make him famous...

Du Ji thanked Cao Peng again and took Du Shu home.

Cao Peng waved his hand and asked Guo Zheng, an old retainer of the Guo Mansion, to come up, took a token from his waist, and handed it to Guo Zheng.

"Hold my waist card and go to Fengchehou's mansion, and ask them to send a few horses and horses to Caochang Street to pick up Du Ji and his son. Tell them, it's better to settle down. I will return to Hou's mansion at night, if I know that I have neglected you Du and his sons, I skinned them."

In Fengchehou's mansion, Cao Ji is respected.

But everyone in the Hou Mansion knew that the one who really counted in this family was Cao Peng who seldom lived in the Hou Mansion.

Originally, Cao Peng was supposed to return to Hou's Mansion last night, but Guo Jia took him to drink until late at night.As a result, it is not easy for Cao Peng to go home.He didn't have a passing card, and Xu Du started to enforce the curfew when he entered Haihai, so he couldn't go out naturally.

So, I continued to live in Guofu.

It's time to go back!

Since Cao Cao has appointed him as the translator, it is tantamount to pardoning him for all his crimes.

Now that he can appear on the streets of Xudu openly, why should he sneak around and hide like a thief like before.

After Cao Peng returned to the house, he simply tidied up.

Those documents related to Nanyang County must be taken away.

However, this matter only needs to be discussed with Mrs. Guo, and it will naturally be sent to the Hou Mansion.

"Uncle is leaving?"

Mrs. Guo came with Guo Yi and asked with a smile.

Cao Peng nodded, put his hands together and said: "I have troubled my sister-in-law for the past two days, and it almost caused a catastrophe yesterday. Thanks to my sister-in-law's righteous words, my younger brother was spared. Now, since the lord has issued an appointment, I should also go home Otherwise, this Bai Lan Jing She will definitely become a bustling city, and won’t it destroy Brother Guo’s tranquility? After a while, when the family returns, I will invite my sister-in-law to come over and taste Xiao Luan’s handicrafts.”

"Then I'll wait for Uncle's invitation."

Mrs. Guo knew that Cao Peng's appearance would definitely bring excitement.

Not to mention anything else, just the lucky paper building is enough for many famous people in Xudu to pay a visit.

Guo Jia likes peace and quiet, and there will be constant visitors to the Guo residence, which may disturb the tranquility of Bailan Jingshe.Therefore, Mrs. Guo did not stop it.

After teasing with Guo Yi for a few more words, Cao Peng said goodbye and left.

After leaving the gate of Guo Mansion, he turned his back to the sky, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the sunlight in the late summer.

After a while, Cao Peng suddenly laughed!

He roared, "Xu Du, I, Cao Youxue, have returned!"

Then Cao Peng laughed loudly, got on his horse, and walked towards Fengchehou's mansion.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
"Ah Fu, are you home?"

Cao Cao was eating, and when he heard the report, he asked casually without raising his eyelids.

"Mr. Peng left Guo's mansion at noon and has arrived at Fengchehou's mansion."

Yang Yu replied respectfully with lowered hands: "It is said that when Mr. Peng left Guo's mansion, he yelled, 'Xu Du, I, Cao Youxue, have returned'. Also, he recruited a man named Du Ji as his staff. Sending chariots and horses from the Marquis Mansion to greet them shocked the entire Caochang Street. It is said that when Du Ji and his son arrived at the Marquis Fengche Mansion, the young master went out to welcome them into the mansion."

A strange smile flashed across Cao Cao's face.

"Forget it, let someone come back."

"That friend over there..."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "He was preparing to go to Nanyang.

Feng Xiao also mentioned Du Ji to me.It's just that I've never been free... Ah Fu came back from the northwest with almost no one with him.Going to Nanyang this time, after all, I am alone and alone, so it is normal to find a few staff members.No need to stare anymore, that kid has already guessed. "

Yangqin responded and stopped making a sound.

Cao Cao suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Zilu, how long have you been with me?"

"Ah... counting, it's been almost three years."

"Three years, that's not too short...Little Ah Fu built Liangzhou for me in three years."

Cao Cao stood up, wandered around the house for a while, looked at Yang Qi and asked, "Zi Lu, are you planning to go for a walk?"

"what?"

"Your ability, I know very well.

It's not a long-term thing to stay by my side.You just said that Ah Fu recruited Du Ji, but I remembered something... There is indeed no one around him to help.Why don't you go to Nanyang with him and temporarily take the position of master bookkeeper, which can be regarded as a bit of experience.Duke Xu was the prefect of Nanyang back then, so you must be familiar with Nanyang County... Zilu, what do you think? "

The master book does not sound very prominent.

But in terms of position, he is the third person below the prefect of the county.

Yang Qin hurriedly bowed and saluted, "As my lord orders."

"Well, if that's the case, then you go down first.

When you go back, don't tell anyone, just prepare yourself.When the time is right, I will tell Ah Fu, and you will report for duty when the time comes. "

"Here!"

Yang Qi bowed and left.

Cao Cao stepped out of the study room, but seeing the setting sun and the setting sun, there was a touch of residual red.

He took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, as if he thought of something interesting, suddenly he smiled, and then left with his hands behind his back.

Reset the prime minister's mansion?
This seems like a good idea.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++
Just as Cao Peng guessed, when he got home, he couldn't be idle anymore.

One afternoon, people came to visit one after another.Or perhaps celebrities, or local gentry.It's very annoying to disturb Cao Peng.

But we can't neglect.

He had just been pardoned and was, to put it bluntly, on the cusp.

Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity to let Cao Peng come back, and issued an order of meritocracy, which also made Cao Peng's re-entry into an official extremely unusual.So, at this time, it's really not easy for him to offend anyone.Which one to neglect?In the end, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.Cao Peng believes that at this time, in Xudu City, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him...

Or envy, or respect.

But among them, there must be hatred and conspiracy.

Liu Guang never showed up, let alone made any objection.

From his standpoint, this situation is very abnormal.Therefore, the more this waits, the more calm and cautious Cao Peng must be.

Xu Du, after all, is not Liangzhou.

He can do whatever he wants in Liangzhou, but in Xudu...

"My lord, Mr. Wen Ju sent someone to send an invitation to invite you to a banquet at Yuxiu Tower tonight."

Yuxiu Tower?
Cao Peng couldn't help frowning.

That was Liu Guang's territory.Although Liu Guang is now an official, in order to avoid suspicion, he pushed Yuxiu Tower out.But everyone knows that it is just for people to see.This Yuxiu Tower bears too obvious imprint of the Han Dynasty.Who could take it easily?
However, Cao Peng really couldn't refuse Kong Rong's invitation.

Regardless of Kong Rong's status and influence in the scholarly world, the old man treated Cao Peng really well.

When Cao Peng wrote the Three Character Classic, the old man praised it greatly.Without the support of the old man at that time, it is estimated that it would not have been accepted so quickly.Later, Cao Peng killed Wei Duan, and Shihlin was shocked.But Qingliu, headed by Kong Rong, remained silent at that time.

This also gave Cao Cao more room for maneuver in punishing Cao Peng.

It is conceivable that if the old man followed suit, Qingliu's lineage would follow closely and attack Cao Peng.At that time, Cao Cao's pressure was really great!Therefore, it is already the greatest help for Cao Peng to be able to lightly say that he was paid by ghosts at the age of three without saying a word.Not to mention that Cao Peng set up a blessing paper building, and once he talked to the old man, he immediately agreed.Not only expressed his willingness to cooperate with Cao Peng, but also wrote an inscription for Fuzhilou.This support also moved Cao Peng... This is a rare friendship.

In history, it is said that Kong Rong was arrogant and arrogant, and did not know how to advance or retreat.

But if you get in touch with it, you will find that this old man is actually a very cute old guy.

Unlike those rotten Confucians, Kong Rong is very enlightened.And in his temperament, he is a bit naive, and he speaks very directly, never beating around the bush.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this innocence that Cao Cao couldn't bear it in the end.

However, judging from the present, the old man is becoming more and more interested in learning, and seems to have lost interest in the intrigue in the court...

Anyway, when Kong Rong sent an invitation, Cao Peng would definitely not refuse.

He said to Du Ji: "Bohou, you go to the Confucian mansion in person and tell Duke Wen Ju that I will definitely come to the appointment on time. Please don't read it."

Du Ji was also very excited when he heard this.

With his previous status, let alone seeing Kong Rong, he might not even be able to enter the gate of Kong Rong.

It's really good to have a backing... At least, he can now personally meet that old gentleman who is quite famous in the literary world.

After letting Du Ji go down, Cao Peng closed the book.

Standing on the window wall, he was pondering: What is Kong Rong looking for me at this time?
