The temperature has dropped, the wind is refreshing, and everyone will inevitably have more vitality.

Therefore, after returning from the whirlpool, Cao Mengde went directly to his brother Cao Zilian to reconcile...... This is a matter of brothers in the human family, and Gongsun Xun naturally does not have to be involved, but at this time, it was still early and there was nothing to do, so he also changed his clothes from the room, and then walked around the Cao manor at will.

In other words, this kind of manor is a kind of large-scale clan-style manor that is very common in the north and south, covering a vast area, with a lush population but in good order, and has the colors of clan politics, military security, economic mutual assistance, etc.

From a clan point of view, this kind of manor can strengthen the clan status and intra-clan relations...... Just talk about Cao Hong, he may be richer than Cao Cao's family because he participates in business or is good at business, but in this kind of clan living environment, there is no doubt that he has to obey the branch of Cao Song and Cao Cao;

Not to mention the military defense angle, this is one of the basic functions of the manor, and now the world is getting worse and worse, even the bandits in the hinterland of the Central Plains are increasing day by day, not to mention that there are people like Dian Wei, who have to professionally 'seek revenge for others' if they disagree, and you will never need the existence of an arm to take your life;

The benefits of economic mutual assistance are also obvious, the servants and vassals of the Cao clan, as well as some ordinary villagers who are dependent on the local area, can effectively avoid the exploitation of officials by trading in the manor, and don't forget that there are usually some small handicraft workshops in the manor.

All of these are naturally beneficial from the Cao family's point of view, which is also the reason why such manor and dock forts are all over the world, but from the perspective of the central power, they are typical scars, where officials lose their authority, judicial enforcement is not implemented, and economic income is withheld...... Their very existence is a great damage to the trust of the central government's authority!

Of course, when the authority of the central power was still there, the lords of the manors who relied on the central authoritarian system to establish these orders would certainly not be very good, because they knew very well where their authority came from...... It's like Cao's, he turned his face and said that he wanted to come over to collect money and money, didn't Cao's also pay it honestly?

And besides, why would so many people rather abandon their status as freedmen than come to large families to be cattle and horses, and slaves for generations? Are they crazy? As far as the Son of Heaven and those hundred officials I saw in Luozhong are concerned, don't they really need to be responsible for the collapse of the place?

In any case, a complex 'social thing'...... That's the word, right...... It's getting out of control, and you can't always blame it on one party, right?

Gongsun Xun naturally came up and thought nonsense. There's no way, it's his old problem, mainly because what his wife taught him is too messy and avant-garde, so every time he thinks about it in combination with reality, it's easy to think more and more.

However, it may indeed be because the weather is refreshing, and this is the time when a large manor is at its most vibrant - the local owners have come out of the city to escape the summer, which has greatly stimulated the economic activity of the manor, so as Gongsun Xun walked around the manor, his attention was finally attracted by the local characteristics of the Central Plains, and he gradually ignored those complicated and destined to have no results......

"What is this painting on the pottery?" Gongsun Xun stopped at a market in the manor.

"If you return to your nobles, it's a dragon." Without waiting for the small merchant selling pottery to speak, a member of the Cao family who jumped over next to him opened his mouth quite cleverly.

"I thought it was a pig ......" Gongsun Xun was stunned for a while, but when he thought about it, the so-called dragon-shaped jade in his hometown of Liaoxi was laughed at as a snake after being brought to Luoyang, and he was immediately relieved. However, it is normal for everything to be shaped by dragons and turned into dragons. ”

"That's what the nobleman said!" It should be the Cao family who is in charge of the market, and hurriedly agreed.

Gongsun Xun smiled, seeing that his arrival had brought the market that was about to close to a standstill, so he immediately put down the pottery and turned around and left.

However, when he was about to turn into an open space in front of him where the sound of silk and bamboo faintly sounded, he was nervously stopped by the Cao family.

"Why is that, is there any privacy there?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "Could it be that Brother Mengde has hidden some treasure there?"

"That's not what it meant." The man hurriedly waved his hand. "It's really filthy over there, the body of a noble person's daughter, there is no need to go over......"

Gongsun Xun was not angry when he heard this, but became more and more curious: "It's clean and lively here, where will it be filthy?" ”

"Your honor," the man immediately unraveled the mystery. "That's where the happy ones are...... Except for those who are going to perform their skills for the nobles, they can settle down in the house for the time being, and the families of the rest of the people can only build shacks here for the time being. ”

"Oh," Gongsun Xun immediately snapped. "Yes, since it's a happy household, it's naturally a drag family, does that mean?"

"Not bad." The Cao family member hurriedly leaned over again to answer. "The nobles are transparent, and the good skills in the Lehu can naturally enter the room, and the medium ones can also be invited by the middle-class family to assist in the wedding and funeral, but their families, or the old and the young, can only practice and perform here, and maybe there will be some generous villagers to give some rewards...... But generally not. ”

Gongsun Xun's heart became more and more clear, so he raised his feet and went to the other place, and the Cao family was originally going to follow, but they were sent back to the market by the former.

The sound of silk and bamboo here is really much worse than what I heard last night, and it is messy, and if you look closely, it is really a small old and young ...... Generally, the old man is teaching the young, and it is not a performance, but there are a lot of onlookers. At the same time, there are also several middle-aged women with rough hands and girls who are there washing wild vegetables and preparing for cooking.

However, it was probably when they saw a noble man dressed in brocade and jade ornaments coming, and these people immediately stopped practicing, and a few children were driven behind the shack, but a few old men played a few tunes seriously...... After a lot of enthusiasm, Gongsun Xun had nothing to say, but he had just changed his clothes and didn't have any money, so he had to smile awkwardly, turn around and walk towards the dirt fence at the end of the clearing, pretending to see the sunset.

The sun is setting, the blood red in front of me is bright, and the silk bamboo behind him is melodious, but it is an unexpected gain.

However, the sunset was infinite, but it was fleeting, and Gongsun Xun stood on the fence and watched it from a distance for a while, and then had to turn around and leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw several Cao family members standing and waiting under the leadership of Xiahou Yuan.

"Gongsun Langzhong." Xiahou Yuan hurriedly bowed. "My brother invited you back to the mansion for a banquet, saying that he wanted to introduce you to Zilian, who I didn't see yesterday...... I went to invite Lang Zhong, but I heard that you were traveling alone, and now I see Lang Zhong watching the sunset, and I can't bother. ”

"It's been a long time for Miaocai," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile and said. "Actually, I also want to meet Cao Zilian, who is good at managing money, so let's go back quickly!"

Although the weather was refreshing, it was still summer, and it was not easy for the servants to hug the two, so they quickly dispersed to lead the way.

However, when passing by the shack, Gongsun Xun was moved in his heart, and then couldn't help but stop: "The music of these people just now is excellent, but I shouldn't have heard people's music without saying it, but I just didn't bring any money, I don't know if Miaocai has money, reward them with some ......"

As soon as these words came out, the old musicians who were already preparing to eat vegetable porridge by the glimmer of light packed up their musical instruments hurriedly bowed down to thank them, and several Cao family members also hurriedly collected their own money and worked hard to come up with a handful of five baht coins, but Xiahou Yuan did not move...... In fact, what Gongsun Xun didn't know was that this Baidi general's family was really a bit ordinary, not to mention that compared with the Cao family, even Xiahoudun's family was far from being comparable.

Therefore, these Cao family members who know how to measure are in a hurry to make money.

However, at this moment, it was probably dark, and Gongsun Xun and the others didn't make much noise, and a few teenage bear children suddenly turned out from behind the shack, and chased each other and made a head...... By the time they found out about the situation, they had already rushed to the front, and the first one even bumped into the Cao family who was about to step forward to give the coin.

Dozens of five-baht coins were sprinkled on the ground.

Without the Cao family talking, these bear children knelt down in panic under the leadership of the Lehu to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

Of course, whether it was Xiahou Yuan or Gongsun Xun, he didn't mean to care, he just waved his hand and left, but after walking a few steps, there was an interesting conversation behind him.

"It's all Bian Bing, I don't know if there is any money spilled somewhere, I can't see it!"

"Don't talk about this, Bian Bing, do you know that you almost got into a big disaster? Just now, this noble man heard that he was the gentleman of Qianshi County on the way to office! Your sister works hard, why do you want to cause trouble for her here? ”

"Don't say it, the whole clan expects his sister to take us out of the bumps!"

"Counting on what?" Someone said indignantly. "Their sister and brother died early, and they all depend on our whole clan to feed them, and all the good food and drink are provided for them, just thinking that one day his sister can marry a noble man by her own color, and then take us to enjoy happiness...... As a result, from fifteen years old to nineteen years old, no one took a fancy to her, and no one took a fancy to her when so many nobles were present yesterday! If you can't get married next year, won't you raise a money-losing goods in vain? ”

"You're the one who loses money!"

There was an angry shout, followed by a chaotic sound.

In the twilight, Gongsun Xun and Xiahou Yuan looked at each other and sighed...... Then, Xiahou Yuan was originally going to ignore it, but unexpectedly, Gongsun Xun, who was a guest, actually turned back.

"The child is ignorant, and I don't blame him, why do you want to treat him like this?" Gongsun Xun asked from afar. "And just scolding two sentences, why bother beating people?"

As soon as the group of Lehu heard this, they naturally knew that the nobleman had not left, so they hurriedly let go of Bian Bing, and then they were all frightened and prostrate on the ground one by one.

The first old man even took the initiative to come forward and ask for guilt: "I really don't want to disturb the nobles, and I don't want the nobles to hear such despicable words...... I'm ashamed. ”

"Get up," Gongsun Xun sighed again. "I don't mean to blame you, who can blame you for everything in the poor? It's just that this kid is really unintentional, and you really shouldn't be angry with a child because of the hardships of life; Second, I also met his sister yesterday...... Although I don't know what other people think, I think she is a woman with a way out and a blessing, and since you are already counting on her to find wealth, why do you beat her brother behind her back? ”

At this point, Gongsun Xunfu looked at the little figure on the ground again: "You are Bian Yu's younger brother, called Bian Bing?" ”

"Yes...... Yes, nobleman. "Where do children know how to answer, they can only have one thing to say.

"Your parents are dead, and only your sister and brother depend on each other?"

"Yes."

"Why did the old man who led yesterday call your sister 'little girl'?"

"That's the head of the team, and he is also the elder of the clan, and he can be regarded as a father-in-law...... However, she only recognized my sister as a righteous daughter, and did not recognize me. ”

Gongsun Xun suddenly thought in his heart: "In this case, you can come with me!" ”

Bian Bing didn't know why, but some musicians next to him were excited and kowtowed again and again.

Gongsun Xun naturally knew what they were thinking...... But it doesn't matter, according to the progress of the evil ghost in Cao Mengde's color, thinking about himself yesterday, Mrs. Bian, who couldn't accept him, shouldn't be able to run today. And the so-called poverty and lowliness see the truth, today's efforts may be able to exchange for that Mrs. Bian's gratitude in the future.

It's good to sell the other party, why not?

Besides......

"I thought that Gongsun Langzhong was just heroic, but he still had compassion." Xiahou Yuan behind him also bowed his hand again.

"Brother Meng De should be in a hurry," Gongsun Xun said disapprerovingly. "Let's go!"
