Chapter 4 Woe Comes from the Mouth
The most important thing in this Bianliang City is Xungui, if there is no Imperial City Division to supervise it in secret, I am afraid that it will be chaotic a long time ago.
However, such a blatant name rushed out, but Bao Zheng was the first.
Thinking of this, Cao Tong couldn't help but have a headache, and said to Bao Zheng in front of him: "Brother Bao, it's Cao and Meng Lang."
Little brother, let's go back to the house and stay at ease, and I will never go out of the house easily if I have nothing to do in the future. ”
"Where is Cao Yanei talking about this?
Bao is just very interested in what you are doing. ”
Cao Tong looked at Bao Zheng's slightly dark face with a little playfulness, and he didn't know what Bao Zheng was planning for a while.
"It's abrupt.
However, it is now close to noon, and if you don't hurry to the ministry, I'm afraid that the ministry will be released. Cao Tong said.
After saying this, Bao Zheng on the other side was stunned at first, and then smiled slyly.
In all fairness, Bao Zheng's slightly darkened face is deceptive.
But Bao Zheng in front of him is not an old fritter in officialdom after all, and his subtle expression still makes Cao Tong vigilant.
Maybe even Bao Zheng didn't notice it, but Cao Tong had already started his spirit.
As Cao Yanei said, it was now close to noon.
Bao Mou wants to go home and be filial piety, and he is not in a hurry for this day, why don't we find a wine shop and have a chat? ”
Talk to Wu Xun who has just met him?
Cao Tong was sure that Bao Zheng was by no means the one who was curious about him.
If he guessed correctly, the mentor in Bao Zheng's mouth was the mastermind of all this.
To be honest, he didn't know much about the civil officials in the court.
However, since the other party can make Bao Zheng so respectful, I am afraid that he is one of those ministers in the court!
"Since Brother Bao has this Yaxing, let's go to Fanlou." Cao Tong said coldly.
When Bao Zheng heard this, his whole person froze instantly, and his originally blackened face instantly turned black and purple.
"Fan... Fan Lou, that kind of place Bao can't afford. ”
"It's okay, my Cao family also has a part in Fanlou.
Since Brother Bao was entrusted to contact me, it should be the younger brother who did his best to be a landlord. ”
Bao Zheng saluted when he heard the words, and his attitude was obviously much better than before.
When they came to the private room on the highest floor of Fan Tower, Cao Tong took the lead and said, "Brother Bao, now this environment allows you to speak freely, right?" ”
"I don't have anything to ask, but I should apologize to you for my rudeness."
Cao Yan didn't reply when he heard this, but turned his gaze to the window.
When his eyes were completely occupied by the prosperous scene of Bianliang City, Cao Tong said faintly: "Your civil officials are too tightly guarded...
I just wanted to go out for a walk, and I was immediately targeted by you.
By the way, that woman was also one of yours just now? ”
"That woman is not, and my teacher and I didn't mean to follow, it was really just a chance encounter."
Cao Tong saw that Bao Zheng's words were not fake, nodded and continued to look out the window.
Ya Jingnei became a little weird because of Cao Yan's silence, and even the sound of the two of them could be faintly heard when she listened attentively.
Bao Zheng couldn't stand it first, and said: "Cao Yanei, aren't you curious why I want to return home and practice filial piety?" ”
"Not curious.
Our Great Song Dynasty is a literary and imperial martial arts, don't you scholars pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and the like?
Whether you go home to practice filial piety for fame, or to stay away from the court for a while, at least it is not a loss for you. ”
In fact, Cao Tong wanted to praise Bao Zheng, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
"In your eyes, is Bao just a villain who sells his reputation?" Bao Zheng said a little displeased.
"What's wrong with being a villain, the most important thing in officialdom is a righteous gentleman.
After I am Wuxun, as long as I keep to myself, I can have a smooth life.
But if you want to be a direct minister like Wei Zheng, you should wait until the official family is in power. ”
In fact, in Cao Tong's opinion, Bao Zheng is lucky!
As long as Liu E survives, according to Zhao Zhen's lenient temperament, Bao Zheng will definitely have a bright day.
But before Bao Zheng could get angry, the door of the private room was violently kicked open.
I saw two middle-aged men holding a little old man, and the three of them glared at him at the same time.
Cao Tong was a little stunned when he saw this, he dared to guarantee that the memory of the original body did not know these three people.
Bao Zheng didn't think it was a big deal, so he got up and saluted: "I've seen my teacher and the two ministers." ”
When Cao Tong heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted the three of them.
But the little old man at the head snorted coldly and said, "The Cao family's courtesy, I don't dare to accept the old man." ”
Hearing this, Cao Tong knew that this was the little old man who was really angry.
didn't argue, just stood with his head down.
However, the middle-aged man on the left of the old man was very interested in Cao Yan, and said: "Cao Jialang, you tell this official why it is a good way for Bao Zheng to go home and practice filial piety." ”
Hey, why do the people of the Great Song Dynasty like to get to the bottom of it so much?
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect to cause trouble again.
"Isn't it enough to gain fame?" Cao Yan naturally wouldn't say everything he thought, and he pretended to be stupid and stunned.
But the middle-aged man didn't blame him, nodded with a smile and said, "Hehe, slippery like a loach, just like your old son Cao Xi." ”
Cao Yan continued to lower his head when he heard this, although he said it with a bit of ridicule, he took it as a compliment.
But the old man still didn't give up, and said coldly: "Old man Li Di, although he was demoted by the official family, you are still the first one who dares to find an excuse to prevaricate the old man in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." ”
Cao Tong was stunned when he heard this!
He didn't expect that he would go out casually, and he would attract this big guy!
If he had known that this would be the case, he would not have taken a step out of the mansion even if he died of old age.
"The old man of the Cao family will give you another chance to say the words you have hidden in your heart." Li Di's voice was not loud, but the momentum he exuded couldn't help but startle Bao Zheng beside him.
Of course, Cao Tong would not bring the topic to Liu E, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king."
Since Master Bao can be selected as an official talent, it is naturally excellent, and if he goes home to practice filial piety in the past few years, he will definitely be able to occupy a place in the court. ”
As soon as these words came out, the private room became quiet again.
And Li Di pushed away the two people who were supporting him, and stepped forward to take a closer look at Cao Tong.
However, after hearing his words, the middle-aged man who spoke before nodded with a smile and said: "If you live in the temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about the king...
Good sentence and good mood, if I hadn't snatched Bao Zheng from Lu Xiang's hands, my Wang Zeng wouldn't mind teaching you one more. ”
