Chapter 014: Lumen Disciples (2) 2/2
Dizzy, forgetting that the early hours of the morning have already passed a chapter......
It's 1/2 of it.
The word count may be a bit small, so please bear with me.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
On the carriage that Sima Hui gave to Cao Peng, there was a very strange pattern.
It is in the shape of a roll of bamboo slips, and the word 'Shangshu' is marked on it. At first, Cao Peng didn't know what this sign meant, but later when he passed through Tanghe Town, a scholar told him that it was the symbol of Lumen Mountain Ponzi. The three generations of the Pang clan are famous for their 'Shangshu'. To Pang Ji's generation, his understanding of Shangshu can be called the leader of the entire Jingzhou, and no one can compare.
It is precisely for this reason that the Jingxiang people respectfully call Pang Ji 'Pang Shangshu'.
This is not the Shangshu of the three provinces and six departments, but the respect of the Jingxiang people for the Pang family, which also means that they are experts in the "Shangshu".
Wang Meng didn't understand what Cao Peng meant, but what Cao Peng said was full of confidence, and he also admired Cao Peng a little bit now, so he didn't ask any more, raised his whip and urged the horse, and went to the county office. On the way here, Cao Peng had already asked Hong Niangzi about the location of the county office. So Wang Meng didn't make much effort, drove the carriage, and stopped at the gate of the county government in Jianyang County.
"Please also report, Lumen Mountain disciple Cao Peng asks to see!"
The gate of the county government was closed, and there seemed to be no one inside.
However, after Wang Meng's shout, there was a stirring behind the door.
Immediately after, the door opened, and a man who looked like a housekeeper walked out of it, "Dare to ask, but is it a disciple of the Pang Clan of Lumen Mountain?" ”
There are many Jingxiang clans, which are not the same as the Jiangdong clans.
Most of the so-called families have a long history and have a high status; The Shi clan is relative to the Hanmen Shu clan.
The Kuai family is a family!
The Deng family is just a scholar family......
The difference between these words is worlds apart.
The family is a prominent family with a reputation all over the government and the opposition.
The gentry clan is only a group that is relatively noble and enjoys certain privileges compared to the common people.
If it is in Jiangdong, due to the mixed situation of the people, the scholars will also have a certain amount of private arms. However, in Jingxiang, this kind of private armed force will be relatively weaker. Under the rule of Jingzhou, there are not too many families that can be compared with the Kuai family...... Such as the Cai family, such as the Pang family, can hold on to the Kuai family. Moreover, the relationship between these families is intertwined and extremely close.
Kuaizheng is a side branch of the Kuai family.
The reason why he was able to serve as the county magistrate of Jianyang County was also because the family contributed behind the scenes.
Hearing that the disciples of Lumen came to visit, Kuai Zheng was reading in the study. He hurriedly put down the book and ordered someone to invite the Lumen disciples to the living room, and then dressed up and came to meet him.
When I walked into the living room, I saw a young man in cloth sitting in the hall.
The boy was not very old, and he looked rather thin, as if he was a little sickly. His clothes were also very plain, a white-washed cotton robe, without the slightest hint of luxury. However, between the eyebrows, there is a trace of heroism, which makes Kuai Zheng have to be more careful.
"He's a Lumen disciple?"
The butler whispered, "Exactly! ”
"Can you confirm?"
"Confirmed...... The car he was sitting in had the Lumen Ponzi mark.
The young master should not be slacked because of his simple clothes. I heard that the requirements of the Lumen Mountain are extremely strict, and Pang Shangshu can give him a chariot, which means that this person must be a core disciple of Lumen. If you can make friends with him, Young Master Yu will definitely be of great benefit......"
This housekeeper is Kuaizheng's henchman.
Kuai Zheng originally had some contempt, but when he heard the butler say this, he immediately put away his slack and walked into the hall.
And in the hall, Cao Peng also got up early.
Seeing Kuai Zheng coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Student Cao Peng, I've seen the county magistrate!" ”
In ancient China, it was customary to address Shangguan as 'Lord'. However, there are many meanings of this 'adult', so in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, such a habit was still implemented.
Adults can be called a wealthy family, or they can be called a person of noble character.
Cao Peng didn't know the difference, and was used to the nickname 'adult'. But I didn't think about it, and it was the meaning of the word 'adult'.
In Kuaizheng's ears, Cao Peng praised him......
"Ah, the virtuous brother doesn't have to be polite.
The two families are friends of the world, and you are a disciple of Pang Shangshu, and you are also the same generation as me. The word adult can't be deserved, it can't be deserved! ”
Kuai Zheng stepped forward to return the salute, and his words were also very cordial.
How did Cao Peng know that there were still a lot of exquisiteness hidden in this title?
However, as soon as Kuaizheng is so kind, he also has a bottom in his heart. It seems that he has succeeded in pretending to be a disciple of Pang Sect.
He also knew that sooner or later he would be exposed.
However, Cao Peng has other plans in his heart: first, Kuai Zheng may not go to Lumen Mountain for verification; Second, even if it is verified, Pang Ji may acquiesce. After all, Sima Hui gave him a chariot, and there was also the mark of Pang Men on it, which also represented Pang Ji's recognition of him to a certain extent.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and if it really shows its stuff one day, think of other ideas......
After the two sat down, Kuai Zheng asked, "Who is the teacher of the virtuous brother?" ”
Is your teacher a big Pang or a small Pang?
"Back to my brother's words, the kid also met Mr. Yuan'an a few days ago, and listened to Mr. Yuan'an's teachings in Yangshu Town.
At that time, Mr. De Ying was also ......
Hearing that the boy was going to come to Jianyang to join his family, Master Pang saw that the boy was not in good health, so he gave him a car to travel, and asked his brother to take care of him more. ”
Cao Peng's answer was very vague, and he didn't say that he worshipped Pang Ji as a teacher.
It is only said that he met Pang Ji on the way, and then won this car battle. But to my ears, it seems to have changed its taste! Sima Deying, who is also a famous person in Jingxiang, is also a witness to Cao Peng's apprenticeship. It seems that Pang Ji is very fond of this disciple he has just accepted, otherwise he would not give it to Che Zhan.
Wait, is he here to join his family?
Doesn't that mean that you have more opportunities to get close?
I don't value it at home...... But if you get close to the disciples of Pang Sect, you will definitely have many more opportunities in the future.
The smile on Kuaizheng's face became thicker.
"Brother Xian, are you coming to Jianyang to join your family? Dare to ask, who is it voted for? ”
This doesn't even need proof, with the brand of Pang Ji on top, Kuai Zheng didn't bother to track down Cao Peng's origin.
"Back to my brother's words, the boy's brother-in-law is from Deng Village.
Because he offended some people in his hometown, he had to move his family to ...... Hehe, the latter boy is under the rule of his brother, please take care of it. ”
Deng Village?
That's closer!
Kuai Zheng then smiled: "Of course.
But when Brother Xian came to me, I'm afraid there was something else going on. ”
"The elder brother is really powerful, and he guessed the younger brother's mind at once...... Don't hide it from the elder brother, the younger brother came today to ask the elder brother for someone. ”
"Looking for me?"
Kuaizheng became more curious and asked, "I don't know who the virtuous brother wants?" ”
Cao Peng's pale face suddenly appeared a touch of red. He seemed to be very angry, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "My brother-in-law is working in my brother's mansion, and I haven't been home for many days. And my sister is not very healthy...... The younger brother has only arrived in Jianyang today, and he doesn't want his sister to have a conflict with the evil woman in the village, and now he is bedridden. The younger brother had to take the liberty of coming and asking his brother-in-law to go home to take care of him. ”
