When Cao Tong heard Xi'er's words, he also felt a headache.

Although he relied on step-by-step planning, Cao Xi's attitude towards him changed.

But the situation did not get the slightest preferential treatment.

Cao Tong did not resent the Cao family because of this.

After all, if he didn't have the identity of the Cao family's son-in-law, he wouldn't have anything to do with Lu Yijian and the others at all.

What's more, after many days of observation, Cao Tong found that Cao's family style was still very positive.

Except for a few clan brothers, like the original body, who are obsessed with cultivating immortals and can't extricate themselves.

The other big tribesmen are too low-key, and they don't have a noble shelf at all.

It is estimated that this can be done precisely because the Cao family strictly controls the months of the children.

Otherwise, with the Cao family's many years of experience, would it be difficult to raise a few gentlemen?

But even so, Cao Tong had to leave.

Keeping his secret is only one thing, and more importantly, Cao Tong wants to be a civil official.

Don't look at the civil officials who are kind to him at the palace banquet.

But if he really stepped into the court, Wu Xun's background would definitely make him ostracized.

Moving out of Cao's house is actually good for both parties.

As long as he can participate in more literary meetings with Lu Yijian, he can earn enough literary names.

Then the civil officials shouldn't pay too much attention to the Cao family, right?

But now it seems that the future is not so rosy!

It takes money to make friends with the scholars, and it also takes money to go to Taixue to study.

Obviously, he can't do it with his meager monthly examples.

He didn't expect Cao Xi to give him a resettlement fee.

After all, the house next to Taixue can be described as an inch of land and every inch of gold.

If you still want to be greedy enough, maybe you will have to break with the Cao family.

"Lang Jun, otherwise you go and ask the master for a favor and ask him to allow you to stay in the mansion for a few more years." Xi'er said cautiously.

"Forget it, you can plan the money slowly.

But after the eldest sister enters the palace, we must leave. ”

Perhaps seeing his unusually resolute attitude, Xi'er did not continue to persuade him.

Silently put away the dishes and chopsticks, and exited the house.

Following.

Cao Tong got up early in the morning.

Originally, I was going to ask Cao Xi what the uncles were planning.

But before he got dressed, he was told by Xi'er that Cao Xi had gone to the early court.

The Northern Song Dynasty did not have a daily rule, and when to go to the court, it was generally necessary to listen to whether the bell tower on the imperial city would ring.

Cao Yan didn't hear a bell.

It should be that someone from the palace was sent to spread the word and discuss yesterday's affairs.

Cao Tong originally planned to continue learning calligraphy.

But just as he was about to go back to the house, Liang San ran into his small courtyard.

"Liang San, why did you get to the backyard?"

Seeing Cao Tong asking, Liang San hurriedly explained: "Yanei, you are already famous in Bianliang now."

Early this morning, the prefectures sent small servants to send the prayer post.

The steward roughly helped you choose.

There are three that you need to visit in person. ”

Cao Yan was stunned when he heard this!

He didn't think that just being a palindrome copyist would give birth to so many things in vain.

"Which three?"

"The Gao family, the Yao family, the Han family." Liang Sandao.

Cao Yan frowned when he heard this.

General Gao thinks that the matter is not big enough, so he wants to drag himself into the water?

As for the Yao family, Cao Tong really doesn't want to deal with it.

He doesn't know what Yao Fujin is like.

But from Yao Bao's many temptations, it is not difficult to see that this Yao family is also a Longtan tiger's den.

As for the Han family, Cao Tong didn't have the slightest impression.

"Which Han family?"

Liang San seemed to have expected him to ask this question a long time ago, and said with a smile: "It is the descendant of Han Xuan, the Duke of Qi."

Like your mentor Lu's family, it is the home of the eunuchs. ”

Oh, no wonder he hadn't heard of it, it turned out to be not Wu Xun.

Liang San saw that Cao Tong didn't pay much attention, and hurriedly said: "Yanei, Han Qi of the Han family has the reputation of the first genius of the Great Song Dynasty.

If you are sloppy, it may damage your reputation. ”

Han Qi?

Cao Tong is in the spirit now.

Han Qi has been the prime minister for ten years, and has been praised by later generations as "the dynasty moves to the Qingming Dynasty, and the world is happy".

He assisted three generations of kings in his life, and was rated by Ouyang Xiu as "facing major events, making big decisions, being a gentleman, being quiet, taking measures for the world in the peace of Mount Tai, which can be described as the minister of the society".

However, what Han Qi envied Cao Tong the most was that he also had a high prestige among the nobles.

Otherwise, the steward would not have let him go to the Han Mansion in person.

Cao Tong took over the Han Mansion's worship post from Liang San.

I saw that he was invited to attend a cultural meeting five days later.

Only then did he let go of his hanging heart.

He is going to go to Wang Zeng's mansion with Cao Xi today.

If it collides with the Han family because of this, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

"Liang San, you personally go and send the little guy from the Han Mansion back.

Tell the other party that Ben Yanai is looking forward to the cultural meeting in five days. ”

"The little ones will do it."

But before Liang San left, the steward of the Cao Mansion hurriedly ran over and said, "Da Lang, hurry up and go to the ancestral hall to hide."

General Gao and his nephews have already rushed into the backyard. ”

Wait, rushed into Cao's inner house?

Cao Tong looked at the steward who was almost out of breath, and ran away with Xi'er.

This... This is simply rubbing the Cao family's face on the ground.

Could it be that their Gao family is not afraid of Cao Fu's retaliation?

But at this moment, the voice of the old general Gao came from afar: "Don't run away from the Cao family!"

The old man came to see you, if you dare to run again, the old man will let the sons of the Gao family break your legs. ”

These words were like a fixation spell, so that Cao Tong didn't dare to run anymore.

It's not that he's cowardly!

Instead, he saw that several of his uncles had already put on their armor and brought their family members over to help!
