Back at the Gaoling Marquis's Mansion, as soon as Ah Fu saw Cao Liang coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, and diligently took off his armor for Cao Liang, and his hands and feet were extremely diligent.

"Is there something going on in the house? How about that stone bud, are you still used to eating and living? Cao Liang untied the ring-headed saber at his waist and asked casually.

As soon as he heard Cao Liang talk about the stone bud, Ah Fu immediately vomited bitterness: "Little Hou Ye, the stone bud you brought back is too annoying, you asked me at least a dozen times today if you have come back, I told him that you can only come back after dark, he still keeps asking, it is really annoying." ”

Cao Liang smiled, he didn't expect this stone bud to be really an urgent child, and he asked himself to come back to inquire about him as an official, and he didn't want to think about it, if he wanted to enter the official career, was it so easy?

"Alright, you can call him to my house." Cao Liang commanded, turned around and went back to his room.

Soon, Shi Bao came over, saw Cao Liang, bowed first, and said, "See Childe." ”

Cao Liang smiled and gave up his seat: "Brother Shi, sit down and talk." ”

Shi Bud sat down reluctantly, looking a little uneasy, and stopped talking.

Of course, Cao Liang knew his thoughts, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and said, "Brother Shi thinks he wants to ask about Jinshi, right?" ”

Shi Bao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Mmmm, I don't know how to do it?" ”

Cao Liang chuckled: "Brother Shi, you are too anxious, now the imperial court selects talents, and implements the nine-product Zhongzheng system, not only to be recommended by the central officials, but also to be reviewed by the officials. What's more, this is a normal process, if you want to enter the office, you must at least have to be evaluated above the middle grade, if you want to work in the capital, then at least you have to be above the middle grade. With Brother Shi's background, I'm afraid it's difficult to take the road of Jiupin Zhongzheng, right? ”

Shi Bao's expression darkened, he came from a humble background, if it was really measured according to the imperial court's nine-grade Zhongzheng system, even the threshold of the middle and lower grades would not be reached.

In this era when your background determines everything, even if you are full of poetry and books, it is in vain, and there is no father to fight, which means that it is difficult for you to have a chance to get ahead.

Shi Bao served as the county's agricultural Sima, this is a petty official who does not enter the stream, and the chief official of the county's agricultural affairs naturally does not have the turn to evaluate the central official.

That is, Shi Bao met Xu Yun, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and only then did he germinate the idea of going to Beijing to mix an official and a half-position, after all, being a small official in a third-class small county, he could not be mixed with the position of the county commander if he died, and only when he arrived in Luoyang, could he really play a stage.

It's a pity that Xu Yun's road was broken, and Shi Bud was hit hard, but fortunately, Cao Liang promised him, which made him feel a little comforted.

Although Cao Liang swore that there was no problem, Shi Bao was still uneasy in his heart, whether Cao Liang could do it for him, he really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

There is no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well, after all, no matter how you look at it, Cao Liang is too young.

Although he lived in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, he ate well and slept softly, but Shi Bao was unpleasant to eat and couldn't sleep at night, thinking about it left and right, and couldn't think of a reason, he didn't see Cao Liang come back all day, so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, turning around.

Now hearing Cao Liang say this, Shi Bao's heart sank, and his face suddenly turned white, and he was simply discouraged.

Cao Liang saw his frustration, so he comforted him again: "But Brother Shi, don't worry, what I Cao Liang promised you, I will definitely be able to do it for you, but I can't guarantee it in time, and I ask Brother Shi to be calm and wait patiently." ”

Shi Bao was slightly relieved and said: "It doesn't hurt to wait for some time, as long as the son is honest in doing something, he will be grateful." Since this is the case, then I will retire first and wait for Hou Gongzi's good news at the city inn. "It's just that I'm used to doing things in Xia, so idle, eating and living in your mansion for nothing, I really don't want to go, it's better to move out in Xia, do some things in the city, and wait for the son's arrangement by the way."

Cao Liang frowned slightly and said, "Does Brother Shi think that the food and lodging in my house are vulgar, or is the subordinate offended?" ”

Shi Bao hurriedly said: "The son is hospitable, and a certain sincerity is still too late, how can he dare to complain?" It's just that I'm used to doing things in Xia, so idle, I eat and live in your mansion for nothing, and I really don't want to go, so it's better to move out in Xia, do some tricks in the city, and wait for the son's arrangement by the way. ”

Can the fish he has already caught still be able to get him off the hook? Cao Liang didn't want Shi Bao to move out, in case Sima Yi took a fancy to him and took the lead, he regretted not crying.

"Brother Shi is too worried, you and I are like old friends at first sight, we have a lot of friendship, a little food and clothing, why worry about it. If Brother Shi feels that he has nothing to do, he might as well go to the Grange to help the younger brother. ”

Shi Bao immediately said: "Childe just arranges it, as long as it is within Shi's ability, he will do the work of dogs and horses." ”

Cao Liang said: "It's easy to hear about small things, Brother Shi should rest early today, and go to the Grange with me early tomorrow morning." ”

Shi Bud gave up his promise and got up to leave.

Cao Liang smiled, there is still a shortage of blacksmiths on the side of the Grange, Shi Bao is a good hand at iron, and he is temporarily arranged to the Grange, just to make the best use of everything.

As for arranging for him to enter the Xiao Cavalry Camp, Cao Liang hadn't had time to talk to his father yet, and when he had the opportunity that day, he would personally ask his father and arrange a position for Shi Bao as much as possible.

Shi Bao is a typical official fan, bent on drilling into the official career, if Cao Liang does not arrange it well, this guy will sooner or later defect to Sima Yi's account, so Cao Liang must keep Shi Bao no matter what, and must not give him a chance to meet Sima Yi.

Since he is so bored in the house, he will arrange something for Shi Bao from tomorrow to save him from thinking all day long, and at the same time, he can be regarded as making the best use of it.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Liang finished washing, and was on duty in the palace yesterday, so he didn't have time to go to the Grange to have a look, so Cao Liang has been thinking about this matter today, and he doesn't know if Ma Jun invented the counterweight catapult?

Cao Liang was really worried about this.

Rushing to the Grange today, Cao Liang didn't bother to go to breakfast, and told Afu Agui to call Shibao and prepare to go.

As for that square cloth, Cao Liang didn't need to pay attention to him at all, as soon as Cao Liang left the mansion, that guy must be like a shadow, following him tightly, Cao Liang didn't even have to say hello, he would appear behind Cao Liang anytime and anywhere.

Soon Shi Bud arrived, obviously Cao Liang's words yesterday had a great comfort to him, he should have slept well and seemed to be in good spirits.

"Let's go." Cao Liang gave an order, turned over his horse, and took the lead out of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion.

The other four people also followed closely and rushed out to look at the east gate of Luoyang.
