Chapter 36 [First Update, Ask for Collections and Recommendations]
Gao Jixun did not answer Cao Yan's question, but silently left with the Gao family.
Looking at Gao Jixun's slightly lonely back, Cao Tong felt for the first time that it was not easy to seek stability and smoothness in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Boy, did you just go too far?"
Seeing that it was Cao Cong who spoke, Cao Tong also nodded helplessly.
After all, he can be regarded as a stone against the Gao family just now.
Cao Tong didn't know how Liu E would punish the Gao family.
But at least it is appropriate to let the fourth uncle Cao Wei return to Beijing.
"Eighth uncle, today's incident is a bit big.
I'm afraid that soon the prefectures will send people to find out the details.
Although the Gao family is at fault first, we can't discredit the Gao family.
It is better to tell the people in the house to be cautious in their words and deeds, and not to make any mistakes at this time. Cao Tong restrained his chaotic thoughts and bowed to Cao Cong.
"You don't have to worry about that.
Hey, they are all martial artists who have fallen into distress, and this high-ranking family is really too arrogant. ”
Cao Tong saw that Cao Cong was complaining about the Gao family, and he knew that his eighth uncle had not figured out Gao Jixun's real plan.
Could it be that the group of people in charge of the Cao family, is it really only the fourth uncle who understands it?
"Eighth uncle, today's old general Gao seems to be reckless, but in fact, it is not a bad way to break the situation.
He had offended the saints and officials during the palace banquet.
And the saint was quite jealous of the fourth uncle.
Old General Gao came to Cao Mansion today, originally to calm the anger of the saint by suppressing our Cao family.
But because the little nephew proposed to let the juniors of the clan go to the army for training, he was slightly distracted.
It is estimated that he also came up with this strategy temporarily.
If we give General Gao enough time to deduce, I'm afraid our Cao family will be in a catastrophe. ”
Cao Tong said this very calmly, but it made all his uncles grow their mouths in surprise.
In fact, just when he helped Cao Cong analyze, Cao Tong also found many of his shortcomings.
If he can learn from the little fat man of the Gao family, he will bite on a mistake and hold on to it.
Maybe you don't need to help Gao Jixun come up with ideas.
Although the idea he came up with was beneficial and harmless to Da Song, he also exposed himself to Liu E and Zhao Zhen again.
"Yu'er has really grown up!
This mind alone compares our uncles to each other.
Yu'er, do you really plan to follow Lu Xiang to become a civil official?
If you join the army with your intelligence, your future achievements may be higher than your four uncles. Cao Cong said.
As soon as these words came out, several of Cao Tong's uncles echoed them.
This scared Cao Yan!
As a general?
If Cao Tong traveled to the Tang Dynasty, then he would definitely agree without hesitation.
But what he crossed was the Great Song Dynasty!
Even poor scholars who have no fame look down on military generals.
What is the use of this general?
Cao Tong didn't dare to let his uncles think nonsense anymore, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of horses...
The reason why the fourth uncle can make outstanding contributions, in addition to the fact that the fourth uncle himself uses soldiers like a god, actually depends on the original Kou Xianggong's knowledge.
Our generals of the Great Song Dynasty can only lead the troops, but they have no decision-making power.
Once there is a war, their own honor and disgrace are all entrusted to the civilian officials as commanders.
The nephew doesn't want others to control his life and death, and it is even more of a nephew's opportunity to be valued by his teacher.
So the nephew wants to be a civil official! ”
He was not so arrogant as to tell his uncle that he would definitely enter the cabinet in the future.
After all, with his background, even if he becomes a civil official, he will not be reused.
Rather than disappointing them later, it's better not to mention it from the beginning.
However, Cao Tong also knew that the reason why Cao Cong mentioned this matter today was because he had already understood his future situation.
But he is also really not ambitious!
I just want to live my life in peace...
As for where it will go in the future, he has never thought about it.
Cao Tong didn't dare to get distracted in front of his uncle, so he hurriedly reined in his thoughts and said, "Eighth uncle, please send someone to stop Daddy."
Tell him that he doesn't have to go to the prince's mansion today. ”
"Why didn't you tell him personally?"
Seeing Cao Cong asking, Cao Tong sighed helplessly and said, "Since my nephew has already worshipped Lu Xianggong as a teacher, he should naturally go to the teacher's mansion to study."
It's also that the little nephew was so busy yesterday that he actually forgot about this. ”
"Okay, then you can get busy."
Cao Tong was relieved when he heard this, it seems that his uncle's pass has passed temporarily.
After freshening up again, Cao Tong rushed to the Lu Mansion.
Because he was in too much of a hurry, Cao Tong handed over all the travel matters to Xi'er.
But as soon as the carriage left Cao's mansion, he noticed that something was wrong!
"Xi'er, do you know the person who drove the car?"
Seeing Cao Tong ask, Xi'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, I also took him for the first time today." ”
This aroused Cao Yan's alarm.
You must know that the movement he made today is not small.
If the Gao family did not hesitate to use the spies buried in the Cao Mansion to take revenge on themselves, wouldn't he be cold?
"Xi'er, why don't you choose someone you know to catch the car?" Cao Tong whispered.
Xi'er is also a smart and clever person.
Seeing Cao Tong ask like this, he didn't know what he was worried about.
"Don't worry, Lang Jun, although I don't know this person.
But he was personally selected by the eighth master who took me to the fang, and he was absolutely loyal to our Cao family. ”
Cao Tong knew that he had misunderstood, and said to Xi'er with a smile: "Xi'er, what kind of place is the house?"
Why did you choose him? ”
But what Cao Tong didn't expect was that he just asked casually.
Xi'er was frightened and cried directly: "Lang Jun, it's the little slave who just didn't choose what to say, you don't have to inquire about this anymore." ”
Seeing this, Cao Tong comforted Xi'er a few words, but he kept this 'room' in his heart.
It seems that he still doesn't know enough about the Cao family.
If he guessed correctly, this 'Yu Fang' should be the elite of the Cao family buried in the dark.
However, at this time, Xi'er made Cao Tong even more curious.
He doesn't doubt Xi'er's loyalty.
After all, Xi'er had served the old lady at the beginning.
But Xi'er, a maid, is obviously very unusual to know these secrets.
"Xi'er, you were sent by the old lady to protect me?"
Sure enough, as soon as Cao Yan's words came out, Xi'er, who was still crying pear blossoms and rain, suddenly looked up at him suddenly.
I don't know how long it took for Xi'er to regain her previous liveliness and said, "Lang Jun, these are all guessed by yourself."
Xi'er didn't say anything. ”
