Chapter 350 Man, It's Hard!

Cao Peng did not sponsor Xu's mother, nor did he leave any money. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because he knows very well that with Xu's mother's temperament, if you really go to fund her, it may backfire and make Xu's mother disgusted.

How much money do you have Cao Babai?

You Cao Babai is a little famous, can you give me alms?

A woman like Xu Mu has a backbone that is even more arrogant than a man.

Therefore, Cao Peng felt that there was no need to do that, it was better to go with the flow. If Xu Shu has a conscience, he will naturally come back; If he has no conscience...... That's it. Even if he came in the future, Cao Peng would ignore him. A person who knows how to be filial will not be bad even if he is bad; A person who does not know filial piety, no matter how good it is, is all fake.

The ancients said that filial piety comes first!

There is a lot of truth to this statement.

Now, Cao Peng just needs to wait and see Xu Shu's choice.

Don't look at what he said to Pang Tong in the ancestral hall yesterday, in fact, it was pretending. In his heart, of course, he hoped to get Xu Shu's help. If Xu Shu can help, it will definitely be like a tiger. As for Zhuge Liang...... Cao Peng wanted to solicit him, but it was estimated that it would be too difficult. That goods can pretend to be the best, otherwise how can it be possible to stage a drama of three visits to the thatched house and pass it on to future generations?

However, Cao Peng soon lost the pleasure he felt when he came out of Xu's house.

When I returned to the official post, I saw many soldiers and horses at the gate of the official post.

Cao Peng was about to get off the horse, but saw Xiahou Lan running out of it in a hurry, first saluted Cao Peng, and then said in a low voice: "Childe, Cao Taishou is here." ”

"Cao Taishou?"

Cao Peng didn't react at once.

"It's the general of Du Hu, Zilian is too guarded."

"Ah......h

Cao Peng was taken aback, and hurriedly handed the reins to a flying eye.

He turned his head and muttered a few words to Pang Tong, who nodded and led people to his own residence.

And Cao Peng and Xiahoulan hurriedly walked towards the official post hall. Zilian is too shou, it is Cao Hong. During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Hong was ordered to go out of the town of Yingchuan and guard Yingchuan Taishou. However, Cao Peng also heard that Cao Hong would soon be transferred and leave Yingchuan County...... But where exactly he will take up the post, it is estimated that it depends on how Cao Cao will play this game of chess. Originally, Cao Peng planned to visit Cao Hong again tomorrow. After all, this Yingchuan County is still Cao Hong's land, and as a nephew, he has to visit anyway. Unexpectedly, Cao Hong actually came to the door by himself. This is not a good phenomenon, it is estimated that something has happened, otherwise Cao Hong would not have come to the door in person.

Speaking of which, Cao Peng and Cao Hong haven't seen each other for a few days!

The last time we met, it was Cao Hong who went from Chen County to Xudu to recover his life, and met in a hurry in Sikong Mansion.

It's been a year.

When Cao Peng came to the door of the yatang, he saw an acquaintance.

"Rosima!"

When Rod saw Cao Peng, he smiled slightly.

"Master Cao, after a long time, is it okay?"

"There is a Laurosma concern...... Hehe, why is Uncle Zilian here? ”

Cao Peng has no official position now, so he doesn't need to call Cao Hong's official position, and changing to 'uncle' can be more affectionate.

Rod said: "General Du Hu said that you kid won't go to visit Yingyin, so he has to come to 'visit' you." ”

"Joke, joke!"

Cao Peng waved his hand again and again.

At this moment, I heard a loud voice from the yatang, "Ah Fu, since you are here, you won't come in yet." ”

Rod stuck out his tongue at Cao Peng and motioned for Cao Peng to hurry in.

Cao Peng didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly strode into the yatang, and saw Cao Hong sitting in the center with a golden knife, with a gloomy face, looking Cao Peng up and down.

"Ah Fu, your shelf is getting bigger and bigger."

Cao Peng smiled: "Uncle, I can't stand what you say. ”

"Hmph, how can you not stand it? Damn, I came to Yingyin and actually lived in the official post.

You're not a big shelf, and what? If this is transmitted back to Xu Du, wouldn't it be laughed at by people, saying that my Cao Zilian six relatives don't recognize it. ”

What's wrong with this person today?

Speaking of words, why are you so impulsive?

Cao Peng hurriedly apologized, "It's not that my nephew has a big shelf, but it's really this time that I came to Yingyin, and there are other things, and the personnel are also more complicated."

My father-in-law will arrive in two days, and won't he be causing trouble for my uncle then? ”

"What's the trouble or not, am I too guarded in the house to tolerate you?

Without further ado, pack up your things and follow me immediately...... Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person, and when he returns to Xu Du in the future, he will definitely be laughed at by others. ”

"Whatever the uncle says, the nephew will do."

"That's pretty much ......"

Cao Hong's face finally revealed a smile.

He waved his hand and motioned for the idlers in the hall to retreat, and then looked at Cao Peng with a smile and motioned for him to sit down.

"Ah Fu, you did a great thing."

"Huh?"

"Hide it from me, I've heard it, are you ready to cooperate with the Chen family?"

Cao Peng looked at Cao Hong suspiciously, and said softly, "Uncle, what did you say?" I don't understand at all. ”

"I just got the news that Chen Changwen is preparing to form an alliance with Haixi in Luoyang.

And prepare to open a silver building in the name of the government, with the Chen family and you as the mainstay, and issue money tickets. This kind of good thing, you can't forget your uncle and me, you have to count me as a part anyway...... Well, I'm preparing to withdraw my shares from the gambling house, so I'm going to put this money into it, do you want it or not? ”

Silver Building?

Money tickets?

Cao Peng suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

When Deng Ji sent a letter to inquire, he said that the trade between Haixi and Luoyang was getting bigger and bigger, and the five baht spent was in the amount of 100 million yuan. Whether it is transported from Haixi to Luoyang, or from Ruoyang to Haixi, it takes a lot of trouble. And if it is bartering, it is also very troublesome...... Therefore, Bu Qi asked Cao Peng if there was any good way to solve this problem. At that time, Cao Peng came up with the method of 'money checks', similar to the checks of later generations. Using government credit as collateral to trade between the two places can save a lot of trouble.

Most importantly, through this means, the copper coin trade is reduced.

You must know that a trade often counts in hundreds of millions, and the consumption of copper coins is too great.

There is a shortage of copper in China, and the large circulation of copper coins will inevitably make the five-baht coins on the market in short supply. As a result, there will inevitably be private coinage, which will flood the market with a large number of bad coins. And the end result will inevitably be that prices will rise again.

Cao Peng is not from a financial background, and he doesn't know much about the twists and turns in it.

He can only give a clue, but the specific implementation plan needs to be decided by Chen Qun and others.

He wrote a letter to Chen Qun and never asked about it again. So much so that Cao Hong suddenly mentioned it, and Cao Peng was still a little confused.

"Uncle, do you mean Sikong agreed?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Hong said in a deep voice: "Chen Qun played Sikong as early as two months ago, but Sikong has never made up his mind, so outsiders don't know.

Yesterday, after discussing with Wen Ruo and others, Sikong decided to try this law on a trial basis in Luoyang and Haixi.

It's just that this matter has to be mediated by you and Changwen. It sounds quite interesting to me, and although this gambling house makes money, it is not the right way after all. For the sake of Sikong's reputation, I also had to withdraw from it. But when I quit and have nothing to do, I want to come and discuss this matter with you. I guess Zixiao and Yuan Rang will have this kind of thought, but they haven't contacted you yet. If you agree, I'll match you up, and we'll do this business together...... Hehe, anyway, I believe that this thing has a lot to offer. ”

Cao Peng felt a little dazed!

You can't come through time, and you actually want to engage in venture capital?

If this money bank is opened, it may have a huge impact on this era.

Making money is definitely making money, the problem is that there are twists and turns in it, Cao Peng himself can't figure it out, Cao Hong actually came to the door......

"Uncle, I don't know much about this matter yet, I need to discuss it in detail with Changwen after meeting it."

"You just have to discuss with him, anyway, you have to remember that if it is really opened, you must count me as a share, otherwise don't think about me helping you in the future...... Hehe, think clearly, your current trouble, if I don't come forward, I guess you won't be able to solve it. ”

"My trouble?"

Cao Peng was stunned, looked at Cao Hong and said, "What's the trouble I have?" ”

"Hmph, you still want to hide it from me?"

"I'm not hiding it from you...... It's just that I've been doing quite well recently, although I have been dismissed from my official position, I am also at ease, what is the trouble? ”

Cao Hong was stunned, "You don't know? ”

"What do I know?"

The two *** stared at each other for a long time, and Cao Hong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"So you don't even know about it?"

"I don't know...... When I left Xudu, everything was fine. ”

"Ah Fu, come and beg me."

Cao Hong looked like a ruffian, and looked at Cao Peng with a smile, "If you don't ask me, I can guarantee that you will be in big trouble!" ”

Cao Peng is really a little confused!

He didn't know what had happened in the past two days after leaving Xu Du.

But looking at Cao Hong's appearance, it seems that things are not small.

Could it be ...... Yuan Shao called again? But even if it does, what does it have to do with me? has a headache for Lao Cao and his staff.

If not, what would it be?

Cao Peng scratched his head, knowing that the person in front of him was definitely a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles. If it is not good, he will not say it.

"Uncle, let's do that...... I went back to see Changwen and discussed it.

If you really want to build a silver building, you must count your uncle's share, what do you think? I can only agree to this extent, after all, I haven't gotten any news about what plans Changwen has and how to set it up. Moreover, this matter involves both Luoyang and Haixi, and in a few days, Zishan will also come over. At that time, I will have to discuss with Zishan again before I can come up with a charter. ”

"Hmm...... All right. ”

Cao Hong also knows that Cao Peng's words are already the limit.

Since he agreed to count his share, he will definitely not regret it. So Cao Hong thought about it and stopped pursuing this matter.

"Miaocai, it's time to propose!"

"Huh?"

"Ah Fuke still remembers Xiao Zhen of Sikong Mansion?"

"Of course I do."

"That's Miaocai's niece. Speaking of which, Brother Xiaozhen, who has a relationship with you, is Xiahou Boren. I just got the news that Miao Cai came to your house yesterday in person to propose marriage to Xiao Zhen. Your father-in-law was also there, and when he heard this, he was furious, and he was going to take your daughter-in-law away. Fortunately, it was Junshi, who grabbed your father-in-law alive and dead, and begged Kong Wenju to come forward to say something, which can be regarded as persuading your father-in-law. However, he didn't expect to come here for a while...... Ah Fu, you're in big trouble! ”

Cao Peng's head was buzzing, a little dazed, and he didn't know what to do.

Men,There's always a bit of a harem tendency.。

As for Cao Peng, he has a good impression of Xiahou Zhen, and even likes it.

At the beginning, Cao Peng made a big fuss in the Auxiliary General's Mansion, and Xiahou Zhen went to the prison overnight to condole, how could Cao Peng not understand that heart?

But he and Huang Yueying have long been deeply in love.

Therefore, for a long time, Cao Peng did not mention this matter to Huang Yueying, because he was afraid that Huang Yueying would misunderstand.

After Huang Chengyan came to Xudu, he made up his mind to marry Huang Yueying as his wife, and he lived up to his ...... Who knows, this marriage has been negotiated, and such an accident happened. If this kind of thing is put on Cao Peng, it is estimated that he will not bear it, not to mention Huang Chengyan, who is also a famous person in Jiangxia. It's just that why did Xiahou Yuan suddenly go to the gate of Cao's Mansion to propose his marriage?

"Uncle, how is this good...... In this way, I immediately returned to Xudu. ”

"You go back, hum, if you go back now, your father-in-law will never give you a good face, and may even take your daughter-in-law and leave. He's angry, don't you want him to have a seizure when you go back? According to me, you must not go back now. ”

"But ......"

"Hehe, they all say that your Ah Fu has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and in my opinion, it's just like that."

Cao Hong was triumphant, so embarrassed that Cao Peng couldn't wait to stop him and beat him violently.

"Please ask my uncle for advice."

"Ha, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll help you.

Ah Fu, let me ask you, do you like your daughter-in-law? ”

"Of course I do!"

"What about Xiao Zhen?"

"I ......"

Cao Peng wanted to say that he didn't like it, but in his mind, a familiar scene unconsciously appeared.

In the back garden of the mansion, a little girl in white, holding a little white rabbit in her arms, called him timidly: "Brother Rabbit!" ”

Closing his eyes, Cao Peng didn't know how to answer.

Cao Hong said: "If you don't open your mouth, I'll treat you as a liking." ”

Rubbing his cheeks vigorously, Cao Peng nodded with a wry smile and shook his head again.

This feels really weird, say you don't like Xiahou Zhen? It must be an open-eyed lie; But he knew that he loved Huang Yueying more......

"I ......"

"Ah Fu, listen to me, this matter is actually not difficult to solve."

Cao Hong said confidently: "What you have to do now is not to show your face." If you go back now, it's bound to make things more troublesome. Think about it, if you refuse, where will Miaocai's face go? That guy is not a good talker, and he will definitely get you in trouble in the future. Besides, he is about to become the Taishou of Dongjun, and your brother-in-law seems to be also in Dongjun, which happens to be under the rule of Miaocai...... So, you can't say no. However, if you don't refuse, I guess your father-in-law will ...... I have heard that the lord has personally intervened and is ready to mediate this matter for you...... But even if your father-in-law agrees, it will inevitably make your daughter-in-law bigger, and Miaocai may not be willing. ”

It's complicated!

Cao Peng felt strange......

How could something that was so simple become so complicated?

But he also knew that Cao Hong was right. If it is said in a good way, Huang Chengyan agreed, and Cao Peng could marry the two together.

But it's okay to marry together, but you have to have a size.

Is it possible to make Xiahou really small? It is estimated that Xiahou Yuan will turn his face immediately.

Although Xiahou Zhen is not Xiahou Yuan's daughter, she is also his niece. He came to the door in person, did he send his niece to be a child? Anyway, Xiahou Yuan is also Cao Cao's Yuan Cong, and the commander of the army of the real two thousand stones. If Xiahou really does a small ......

Tut-tut, Xiahou Yuan will not be willing.

Well, the problem arises.

Xiahou is really big, Huang Yueying is small, is Huang Chengyan willing to agree?

The answer is imminent: it can't be.

If Cao Peng goes back now, he must face a choice, who is big and who is small?

What Cao Hong said was not bad at all, he really couldn't go back.

"Uncle, I have to face this matter after all, and I can't hide it all the time."

"Stupid, who told you to hide all the time? If you go back now, it will inevitably exacerbate the conflict...... So, you can't go back. But there are a few things you can do here to appease your father-in-law. I heard that your father-in-law is going to settle in Yingyin? You can help him choose a good place and buy it...... Then, do what you like and satisfy your father-in-law. By the way, I went to Luoyang and discussed the matter of the silver building with Changwen. Once you've taken care of everything, it's settled...... When the time comes, you will go back happily, and everyone will be happy. ”

Nima, at this time, you asked me to help you negotiate business?

Cao Hong looked at Cao Peng's expression and knew what he was thinking.

"You don't have to listen, that old man doesn't care."

"Uncle, I'll listen, can't I listen? In this case, I will go to Luoyang in three days at the latest to discuss this matter with Changwen, how about it? ”

Cao Hong smiled, and his black face almost turned into a chrysanthemum.

He stepped forward and put his arms around Cao Peng's neck, and said with a smile: "Ah Fu, don't worry...... I will leave this matter to my uncle to solve for you, and I will definitely let you enjoy the blessings of all people, and I will never let my two nieces and daughters-in-law slip away. Your father-in-law's residence is very simple, from this to the south, fifteen miles, just on the edge of Yingyin, there is a three-peak mountain, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and the fields are fertile. It was originally owned by a strong man, but when the Taiping thief was in turmoil, he destroyed the strong man...... So much so that the land grange is still empty today.

Tomorrow I will register that land for you and put it in your father-in-law's name.

As for your father-in-law's preferences...... It seems that you scholars are good teachers. I'll go back to Lao Zhong and ask him to teach at Yingchuan Academy, what do you think? ”

"Uh...... It seems to be okay. ”

Cao Hong said: "Since the matter here has been resolved, I think you should not go to Luoyang in three days, it is better to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Nima ......

Cao Peng almost scolded.

"But what about my marriage?"

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter.

I promise that in the coming year, you will be able to be the groom, and you will be hugged left and right...... Alas, my uncle is also counted as you, and he has worked hard. ”

Cao Peng glared at Cao Hong, watched it for a long time, and knew that it was very difficult to get words out of his mouth again.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly, "Uncle, then I will rely on you for this matter!" ”

"Don't worry, if you can't get a daughter-in-law, I'll let my daughter marry you when I go back......"

I'm not married with the same surname!

Cao Peng shook his head, turned around and walked out.

"Ah Fu, why are you going?"

"Uncle, don't go tomorrow, I'll go to Luoyang...... But let me make it clear to you, if you can't do it, I'll fight with you when I go back! ”

After that, Cao Peng ignored Cao Hong and walked out of the yatang.

Standing on the doorstep, he looked up at the dark sky, and after a long while, he sighed: "Nima, man, it's so difficult!" ”
