Sun Yong lives in Beihai County.

After he was dismissed, he was chased back 500 gold in stolen money, and he had no money to spare and could not afford to rent a house, so he could only be cheeky and live in the county mansion. Because he was an immortal seeker, he was deceived by the crazy prince of Yongqiu Mansion and was removed from office after committing perjury, so many people looked down on him and was often ridiculed by others.

Sun Yong was better, he meditated and practiced qi in the house every day, and all the affairs were handed over to Sun Hao. Sun Hao became a bag of anger, and he lived a very aggrieved life every day. If he hadn't felt that there was still hope for a turnaround, he would have left Luoyang a long time ago.

When Cao Miao entered the mansion, Sun Hao was angry because he missed dinner.

Some of the people who borrow the county mansion cook by themselves, and they can't afford to hire slaves and maids, and they can't do it themselves, and they eat with the subordinates of the county mansion, which is convenient and cheap, but the time is not very free, and they can't eat when they want, so they have to follow the time of the officials.

Today, when Sun Hao went to eat at the usual time, he found that the subordinates had finished eating, and there was only a little leftovers left, not even cold burning. When Sun Hao asked, he knew that those people did it on purpose, but he didn't dare to have a seizure, so he could only sulk by himself.

Sun Yong was also very disappointed, and he didn't even have the energy to meditate. Under a lonely lamp, the father and son sat opposite each other, dejected.

"What do you mean?" Cao Miao pushed open the door and looked around. The room was small, facing west and facing east, and the humidity was heavy, half of the inside was a bed, and the outside half was a place for entertainers, with two half-old mats, and a wooden table against the wall, on which were placed several scrolls of slips and pen and ink.

"The Great Prince?" Sun Yong and Sun Hao were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up to greet each other. "How did you find here?"

"The virtuous father and son are in trouble because of me, so I naturally want to come and see it." Cao Miao smacked her lips. "I heard that there is a Sun Binshuo in Beihai, who once rescued Zhao Qi and is famous all over the world. Now it seems that Beihai is not all Sun Binshuo, and there are many snobs. ”

Sun Yong was embarrassed and lowered his head in shame. Sun Hao couldn't help but say: "Don't you know that the prince gives birth to Huainan as an orange, and Huaibei as an orange?" Although I have many heroic people in Beihai, when I arrive in Luoyang, I will inevitably become snobbish. ”

Cao Miao smiled: "Are you saying that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are only many snobbs?" ”

Sun Yong's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped Sun Hao, and asked Cao Miao for his guilt. "The child is ignorant, his studies are sloppy, he does not study the scriptures of the saints, but he is good at the miscellaneous books of the sons, and he asks the prince to forgive his sins."

"It's okay, in fact, I agree with Ling Lang's opinion. The most important thing in Luoyang City is snobs, and there are not many loyal people like the virtuous father and son. In the past few days, the virtuous father and son have suffered. I asked people to clean up a small courtyard in the house, and invited the virtuous father and son to be guests for a few days, please don't dislike it. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Sun Yong and Sun Hao were overjoyed, and the hard days were finally over.

Sun Yong accompanied Cao Miao to talk, Sun Hao packed his luggage, probably too excited, a roll of bamboo slips fell out of his arms and rolled to Cao Miao's feet. Cao Miao picked it up, glanced at it casually, and found that it was the annotation of the "Analects", which was the volume of "Zihan", "Zihan Yanli, and life and benevolence", and wrote a note below, and the pen and ink were still new.

"You wrote that?"

"I have nothing to do, make a little annotation, and teach children."

"Aren't there many people who note the Analects, so why bother?"

Sun Yong stroked his beard and said with a little conceit: "There are indeed many people who make annotations for the Analects, including Ma Jichang (Ma Rong) and Zheng Kangcheng (Zheng Xuan), but Yong thinks that he is uneasy, so he is not arrogant and wants to be corrected. ”

Cao Miao was a little surprised. Even if he is not familiar with the academic history of the Han and Wei dynasties, he knows the great names of Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan, and knows their position in academic history. I didn't expect Sun Yong to be so confident, even Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan were ignored.

This person is really not suitable to be an official, but more suitable for learning.

Cao Miao didn't say anything, returned the bamboo slips to Sun Hao, and when he finished cleaning up, they went out together. When I passed the front yard, I found that the subordinates in the county residence were lined up in two rows, looking nervous at the door. Seeing Sun Yong and Cao Miao walking out side by side, Di Cheng, who was about fifty years old, stepped forward and arched his hand and bowed deeply.

"Sun Jun, these days...... If you are sluggish, please also invite Sun Jun Haihan. In order to apologize, we will prepare a little wine and see Sun Jun off. May Sun Jun and his son climb dragon scales from now on, attach phoenix wings, have a smooth career, and become immortals. ”

Sun Yong returned the salute lightly. "Thank you. I don't need to drink alcohol, I practice with the eldest prince, I can't eat too greasy, and it's better to be hungry once in a while. ”

Di Cheng's face was red, but he didn't dare to say more. He turned around to Sun Hao, Sun Hao didn't have a good face for him, snorted, and turned his head to look away. He hadn't forgotten that just half an hour ago, these people were still on a different face.

Cao Miao looked left and right and smiled. "You are not hungry, but I am hungry. How's that, is there any mine? ”

Di Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If the prince doesn't dislike it, we will naturally ask for it." There was plenty of food in the palace, and even if the prince had more retinue, he could afford it. ”

"Shall we bother then?" Cao Miao looked at Sun Yong and squeezed his eyes.

Although Sun Yong was unwilling to forgive these snobs, he couldn't refute Cao Miao's face, so he could only agree and follow Di Cheng and others into the main hall. Di Cheng invited Cao Miao to take a seat, and then ordered someone to serve wine and food. Although he didn't believe that Cao Miao would give face before, he made preparations, and at the moment the wine and food were served quickly, and the kung fu would stop after a while.

Cao Miao praised: "What do you call your feet?" I think this Beihai Mansion is well organized, and there is no doubt that you are capable officials. ”

Di Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, his eyes were smiling, and he left the table. "The eldest prince has won the award, and I dare not be ashamed. If the prince does not dislike it, let me introduce the princes to the prince. ”

Cao Miao nodded. "I can't ask for it."

Di Cheng was even more enthusiastic, first introduced himself, and then introduced the other people in the house. He is also surnamed Sun, and his name exists, but he is not in the same family as Sun Yong. started as a small official, and now he is over half a hundred years old, and he barely mixed up with Di Cheng.

Di Cheng is the old official name, and the official official name is Hakka Lang, which belongs to the Hakka Order under Dahonglu. Depending on the size of the county mansion under their jurisdiction, it ranges from 200 to 400 stones. Sun Cun's Yulu is 300 stones, which is less than the top and more than the bottom.

Cao Miao didn't have any pomp and circumstance that a prince should have, and talked and laughed with Sun Cun and others, and when it came to happiness, he laughed. Sun Cun and the others were a little afraid at first, but out of helplessness, they forced themselves to socialize, and later saw that although Cao Miao was not polite and behaved frivolously, he was refreshed, so he was relieved. Some of the bold even toasted to Cao Miao, and some talked and laughed.

Half-drunk, everyone was very relaxed, Cao Miao quietly asked Sun Cun a question, did you treat Sun Yong's father and son like this, were you under pressure and had no choice?

Sun Cun was already half drunk, and when he heard this, he sighed: "The prince is smart. Although I am not of the same race as Sun Jun, after all, I am a township party, if I am not helpless, why should I be like this. When I returned to the township, I was embarrassed to meet people. ”

"Who pressured you?"

"Guest House Order?"

Sun Cun nodded. "However, I haven't heard that he has any personal grudges with Sun Jun, and it may have been ordered by others."
