Chapter 125: Day 1
In the inner study, there is only one bookcase.
A pair of beds and three mats, all of which are dilapidated. Fortunately, it has been cleaned, so it can still be seen. When I opened the small door of the stall room, I was greeted by a damp smell. On the bookshelf standing next to the wall, there are stacks of bamboo slips, all of which have white mold.
Deng Ji shook his head, with a very speechless expression.
Cao Peng walked into the stall with a torch, and after a circle, he walked out again.
"Brother-in-law, in my opinion, this is not something that can be sorted out in a while. Everyone had been on the road all day, and they were already tired. It's better to simply clean up and rest first. After dawn, let's clean up this place inside and out......"
Deng Ji thought about it, then nodded in agreement.
This whole day, tired, panicked, angry, surprised...... All kinds of emotions are intertwined, which also makes him a little tired.
Unexpectedly, the first night in Haixi would be spent in such an environment.
There was still some feeling of loss, but in a blink of an eye, he cheered up again and walked out of the study with Puyang Min Cao Peng and others.
Feng Xiao once reminded me that Haixi County is not a good place.
The fact that he asked me to serve as Haixi Ling is enough to show that he values me. If I retreat so quickly, wouldn't I have failed to live up to the importance of Fengxiao? I left behind my wife who had just given birth and left behind my child who was waiting to be fed, didn't I just do something about it? Although Haixi is chaotic, it is a good place for my generation to build up their achievements and display their talents...... I can't afford to live up to everyone's expectations.
Thinking of this, Deng Ji couldn't help but clench his fists!
After ————————————————————————- midnight, it began to rain lightly.
The winter rain is cold, causing the temperature to drop sharply. Fortunately, everyone got together, so it wasn't too cold. First cleaned out a few side rooms, Deng Ji, Pu Yang Min and Cao Peng, pawned Xu Yi and Deng Fan Wang bought one, Zhou Cang Xiahou Lan and others, and divided the other side rooms. At the same time, Cao Peng arranged a guard, and everyone stayed in the front yard of the county office, so there was no need to worry too much.
After all, there are dozens of people here!
If someone wants to make a fuss, there's really no need to worry.
Outside, the rain was ticking.
The rainy night by the sea makes you feel an unusual taste.
There was a smell of fishy dampness in the air, and there was a faint salty smell in the air...... Is this Hercy?
Cao Peng fell on the couch and slowly closed his eyes.
It rained for less than an hour. When it was almost dawn, fog began to rise in the western part of the sea. The regular biological clock made Cao Peng open his eyes on time. He got out of bed and walked out the door. A cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver.
The winds in the west of the sea are not as strong as those in the north.
But this kind of cold can turn the fingers into the cracks of people's bones.
Cao Peng subconsciously wrapped his collar and walked out of the room, and saw Xia Houlan leaning against the shelter under the eaves and taking a nap.
"Xiahou, Xiahou!"
"Ah, Childe......"
"Let's all go and rest." Cao Peng looked at the sky, "It's about to dawn, I don't think there will be any more problems...... There are a lot of things going on today, so you go to rest first, and when you have the spirit, we still have to repair the government and sort out those cases. ”
"Whoa!"
Xia Houlan was not polite, and directly surrendered to the order.
He knew that Cao Peng was right. This Haixi is now in ruins, and there are so many things that need to be done! If you don't rest well, you will lose your energy. Xia Houlan walked out of the corridor and beckoned the guards who were under the porch and sheltered from the wind to go down and rest.
Foggy days, not good for strenuous activities.
So Cao Peng just made a few simple movements, stretched his body, picked up a wooden stick from the messy luggage placed under the eaves, and then walked into the back house. The high wall I saw last night was indeed the courtyard wall of the back house. The area of this house is not small, the houses are complete, and there are two cross-courtyards on the left and right. There are two towering trees in the yard, and their branches and leaves have withered.
Cao Peng counted it carefully, and there were more than forty houses in total.
If you add the wings in the front yard, there are more than 60 rooms in total, which is enough to accommodate these entourage.
Although the premises look dilapidated, they are largely unmistakable. If you clean it, you can live in it, and the project will not be too big.
The two cross-courtyards are very quiet, that is, the reading power is in the whole mansion, and at the same time, there are paths to connect them.
It can be seen that the original design of the county government still put a lot of effort into it. But presumably the designer would not have imagined that one day, this building, which represents the consolation of the Han family, would be dilapidated to such an extent.
"The wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley.
In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. ”
Cao Peng couldn't help but chant this song "Wuyi Lane", although it is a little incompatible, but in terms of artistic conception, it is very appropriate.
"Good singing!"
"Huh?"
Cao Peng turned around and saw Pu Yang Min standing not far from him.
I was so involved just now that I ...... Cao Peng secretly blamed himself, in such an environment, he would actually relax his vigilance.
Fortunately, it is Puyang Hong, if there is another person, wouldn't it be dangerous to be hostile to him? Although it is said to be the backyard of the county government, it is equivalent to opening the door. The dilapidated courtyard wall is really too easy to get in and out. Even if it's a person, it's not easy to notice at this time.
Puyang Min walked over with his hands in his hand.
"Youxue, which one did you just sing?"
The poems of the Han Dynasty are mostly based on Yuefu.
Wuyan is just starting to rise, and Qiyan is not particularly popular. It seems that Puyang Min, a very traditional old man, is not very acceptable to Qiyan. Therefore, he used 'singing' instead of poetry. The implication is that it is these seven quatrains, which are difficult to get into the hall of elegance.
"Uh...... Mr. Puyang, I got up early. ”
"It's not early!" Pu Yang Min said: "If it weren't for the fact that I was too tired yesterday, I would have gotten up this Chenguang a long time ago." ”
As he spoke, a gentle smile appeared on his slightly old-fashioned face, "Ah Fu, what did you just sing?" ”
"Oh, the kid just looked at the scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh and sing casually."
Pu Yang Min nodded, "I know about the Vermilion Bird Bridge, but where is this Wuyi Lane?" ”
"This ......" Cao Peng was almost suffocated to death by Puyang Min. How did he answer? Wuyi Lane is the view of Nanjing...... Oh, in this era, it should be called Jiankang. God knows if Jiankang has been established? In my impression, Jiankang City seems to have been built by Sun Quan.
With a roll of his eyes, Cao Peng's fingers crossed the courtyard to the secluded path.
"Sir, look, on both sides of this path, there are ancient trees and lush branches...... In harmony with this mist, does it look like it is covered with a layer of black sand? ”
Puyang was stunned and took a serious look.
"That's a bit similar."
"Looking at the pattern of this county government, it must have taken a lot of thought to his original owner. However, he must not have imagined that one day, the county government office he carefully designed would become so dilapidated. I also felt something in my heart for a while, and sang it casually, which made Mr. laugh. ”
"Hmm...... It does have a bit of flavor. ”
Puyang twisted his beard, "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan...... By the way, what does this Wang Xie mean? ”
OMG!
Wang Xie, those are not people of this era.
Cao Peng made up an explanation of Wuyi Lane, but he really couldn't think of the reason for 'Wang Xie'.
I listened to Puyang Min talking to himself, "Could it be that this Haixi has had a county order with the surnames Wang and Xie before?" ”
As he spoke, he shook his head and stopped pursuing it.
He prefers ancient poetry to seven-character quatrains. When Cao Peng chanted lightly just now, Pu Yang Min only felt that it was a little interesting, but he didn't really care too much.
Cao Peng took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.
It's a good home, but fortunately, this old antique didn't get to the bottom of it. If I asked, I really don't know how to answer.
"Youxue!"
"Ah, the students are here."
"What do you think of the three evils of the western part of the sea?"
"Me?"
Pu Yang Min stopped, stretched out his hand from the gate of the cross-courtyard palace, pinched down a dead vine, and played with it in his hand.
"Yes, we had imagined a lot of situations before, but now that we are in Haixi County, we know that there are so many twists and turns."
He turned around, looked at Cao Peng and said, "If my uncle wants to gain a firm foothold here, I'm afraid it won't be an easy task. ”
"Well, that's true."
Cao Peng muttered in his heart: I also know that it is not easy, but you don't have to ask me.
Pu Yang Min said: "Then where do you think we should start?" ”
"Oh...... I think we should repair the courtyard wall first, and if you stand outside the wall, you can see everything here. ”
As he spoke, Cao Peng stared out of the courtyard wall.
"Sir, I don't know how many people are hiding outside the wall at this time, and they are paying attention to you and me."
Pu Yang Min followed Cao Peng's line of sight, and saw that in the light mist, there were rare figures shaking. His thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and a touch of anger suddenly appeared on his face. His voice also raised, and he shouted: "Little people, don't worry. We waited for the order of the Son of Heaven to go out of Haixi...... This is still under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and this is still the territory of the Han Dynasty, I see how long they can be arrogant! ”
Outside the wall, the figure swayed, and then disappeared.
Cao Peng also smiled!
"Mr. has a heroic spirit in his chest, and all evil will not invade!"
"Hmph."
Puyang Min snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.
"Youxue, it seems that the first step for us to gain a foothold in Haixi is to start from the wall of this courtyard."
The county government represents the majesty of the imperial court.
If it's so easy to be spied on, what kind of system will it be?
Puyang Min originally felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Haixi, he had to solve the 'three evils' as soon as possible.
But now it seems that it may be necessary to establish the prestige of the imperial court first. How to stand? Naturally, it started from the courtyard wall of the county government.
However, Cao Peng didn't notice that when Pu Yang Min walked out of the backyard arch, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Although Cao Peng did not answer his question, in fact, he had already given the best answer...... Uncle and grandson are still a little too aggressive!
———————————————————————————— early in the morning, Chen Deng hurriedly walked across the path to the edge of the pond.
"Father, is there anything wrong with you calling the child?"
Chen Qi turned his back to him and didn't turn around, "Calculate it, the Haixi Order appointed by Cao Gong should have arrived." ”
"Father, it should be in this two days."
"Send someone and keep an eye on that side."
Chen Deng asked, "What does my father mean ......?"
"Let's see." Chen Jue coughed lightly, "This Deng Ji, I have never heard of his name before, but he was suddenly entrusted with an important task by Cao Gong, and he is by no means an idle person. Keep an eye on Haixi, and if there is any disturbance, you must tell me immediately. ”
"Whoa!"
Chen Deng surrendered his order.
