On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Cao Tongxuan, the patriarch of the Cao family, personally brought Cao Wengang to greet him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Without him, after learning that Wu Shaogang would personally send his little sister Wu Shaolan to her husband's house, Cao Tongxuan immediately felt that something was unusual, and he still knew some about the affairs of the court, Wu Shaogang was the emperor's edict from the third grade to the general of Germany, the Sichuan envoy, his father-in-law Li Tingzhi was from the second grade, and Wu Shaogang's wife Li Hanwei was the emperor's wife from the third grade.

Wu Shaogang's identity is far more noble than Cao Tongxuan, and he personally sent Wu Shaolan to marry, and the Cao family must show its attitude.

Therefore, Cao Tongxuan brought his grandson Cao Wengang to marry Wu Shaolan in person.

The Wu family has been holding a banquet in the village for three days, and all the men, women and children of the village have come to the banquet, and many officials from the Luzhou government and the county government have also come to congratulate.

Speaking of Wu Shaolan's wedding, compared to Wu Shaogang, it is much more lively.

Jiangxia Village is only a few dozen miles away from the capital city of Luzhou, and it can be reached within two hours.

Just after noon, after the ceremony was held, Wu Shaogang, Wu Shaozun, Wu Shaowu and others sent Wu Shaolan to get married.

During this period, Wu Shaogang and Cao Tongxuan just exchanged a few words, Cao Tongxuan's focus was still to talk to Wu Qiming, speaking of Cao Tongxuan's seniority, which was a generation higher than Wu Qiming.

The Cao family is also well prepared.

As soon as the ceremony was completed, Wu Shaogang and others became the most distinguished guests and were invited to the study room of the middle courtyard to sit and wait.

Wu Shaogang couldn't sit still, stood up, and walked into the courtyard.

Cao Tongxuan's mansion is in Fucheng, covering an area of about 500 acres, which is a typical big family.

Cao Wengang's father was also a scholar, but unfortunately he died early, and this incident hit Cao Tongxuan so hard that he couldn't be an official in the capital, so he resigned and returned home, Cao Wengang actually grew up under Cao Tongxuan's direct teaching.

Cao Tongxuan also attaches great importance to Cao Wengang's marriage, if it weren't for Wu Shaogang's reasons, Cao Tongxuan would not have agreed to let Cao Wengang marry Wu Shaolan.

Cao Wengang is the eldest grandson of the family and the future heir of the family, and his wife must also be the future mistress of the family.

Now, Wu Shaogang is in full swing, and the influence of the Wu family is getting bigger and bigger, Cao Tongxuan is very happy and thinks that this marriage is a good choice.

When Wu Shao was just wandering in the courtyard, Cao Tongxuan hurriedly walked over.

The first round of banquets is about to begin, Wu Shaogang and others are undoubtedly the first to sit at the first seat, the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture and the magistrate of Hefei County are also sitting at the first seat, and Cao Tongxuan will personally accompany them.

There was still about half an hour before the banquet began, and Cao Tongxuan came over to see if there was any neglect in the hospitality.

Seeing Wu Shaogang hanging out, Cao Tongxuan immediately greeted him.

The two greeted each other with fists.

Cao Tongxuan's impression of Wu Shaogang is very good, with his own experience, when he saw Wu Shaogang at first sight, he felt that it was not simple, Wu Shaogang's aura of a superior person, almost no one has it, as for Wu Shaogang's great military exploits in Sichuan, Cao Tongxuan is even clearer.

Wu Shaogang is not very old, he talks extraordinarily, is polite, and has extraordinary wisdom, and after a few years, he will not become the optimus pillar of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Master Wu, let you wait, there is still half an hour, and the banquet will begin."

"Don't worry, the guest is as the host pleases, how Mrs. Cao arranges, we will do it."

"Don't dare, Lord Wu is a distinguished guest, if there is anything that the family has not done well, just say it."

Wu Shaogang smiled, Cao Tongxuan is indeed polite, he still has the taste of officials in the DPRK and China, and he is thoughtful in doing things, for fear that there is something that he has not done well, and the Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of relevant etiquette, which may make Cao Tongxuan form a habit that is difficult to change.

"Mrs. Cao must not be polite, the little sister entered the Cao family, that is, the people of the Cao family, the so-called husband and wife, if the little sister does something bad in the future, although Mrs. Cao pointed out, the little sister is still young, has always been at home, and has also received a lot of love and connivance, I am afraid that the temper is a little willful, in the future I will slowly tell the little sister to pay attention, and please ask Mrs. Cao to be more tolerant, I heard that Brother Cao is handsome and handsome, and he is extraordinary, I meet today, it is really not ordinary, I believe that Brother Cao will have a great achievement in the future. . ."

Cao Tongxuan smiled when he heard this, and secretly sighed that Wu Shaogang could speak, at such an age, the words he said were so old, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Cao Tongxuan wouldn't have believed it at all.

"Lord Wu is too humble, Shao Lan is gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, this old man knows, this is the credit of Ling Zun Lingtang, but also the credit of Lord Wu, Lord Wu, rest assured, no one in the Cao family dares to despise Shao Lan, if there is such a situation, the old man will not spare him."

After just a few words of conversation, Wu Shaogang felt that Cao Tongxuan was a smart person and an easily approachable person.

"Taigong Cao, I don't know how Brother Cao will arrange it in the future."

"This, the old man thought, let him go to Beijing next year to participate in the hall examination, if he can go to high school, it would be the best, by the way, wouldn't Shaozun also go to Beijing to participate in the hall examination and the palace examination, when the time comes, it will be appropriate for them to be together."

Wu Shaogang nodded, he envisaged letting Wu Shaozun and Cao Wengang all go to Sichuan, which is beyond doubt, but not now, Wu Shaozun and Cao Wengang have to participate in the conference examination and the palace examination, at least to see how their abilities are, if they are not allowed to participate in the conference examination and the palace examination, it is also a big regret, I am afraid that both of them will feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

As for Wu Shaowu, he must go to Sichuan as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether Cao Wengang can go to high school or not, whether he becomes a jinshi or not, he is going to Sichuan, and it must be in Chengdu Fucheng, Wu Shaogang must be selfish in this regard, and he does not want his little sister to suffer.

There are still too many things to deal with in Sichuan, and in a short period of time, it is not easy for Wu Shaogang to arrange the positions of Wu Shaozun and Cao Wengang, and only when the entire Sichuan is basically stabilized can he make plans at that time.

Therefore, Cao Tongxuan's arrangement, Wu Shaogang agreed.

"Mrs. Cao's arrangement is good, I haven't participated in the imperial examination, it's always a pity, Brother Cao has this opportunity, don't miss it, with Mrs. Cao's teachings, I believe Brother Cao will be able to go to high school next year."

"Where, if Gang'er can follow Master Wu to sharpen himself, he can be regarded as truly capable, and as for this imperial examination, it is difficult to cover everything."

"From now on, we will all be a family, Brother Cao's business is my business, where I can do my best, I will never shirk, please rest assured that Mrs. Cao."

Wu Shaogang's words made the smile on Cao Tongxuan's face even brighter.

The Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to enter the court as an official immediately, it depends on your own luck, if you have an unusual relationship in the court, or become a disciple of the prime minister, then it will be easy to enter the court as an official, otherwise you will have to be a staff member for a long time, and I don't know when you will be enabled by the court.

Wu Shaogang's statement made Cao Tongxuan feel reassured.

The people in the house soon came to the middle courtyard and reported that the banquet had been arranged.

Wu Shaogang, Wu Shaozun, Wu Shaowu and others followed Cao Tongxuan to the banquet.

The prefect of Luzhou and the magistrate of Hefei County have been waiting for a long time.

Wu Shaogang took the initiative to visit the prefect and the prefect of the county, has spread in the city, as a legend of Luzhou, Wu Shaogang is a huge attention, a person with such a huge merit, high power, after returning to his hometown, take the initiative to visit the local prefect and county, in the eyes of others is not simple.

It was this incident that made Wu Shaogang more famous in Luzhou City.

This may be a situation that Wu Shaowu never dreamed of, and it is also a place where Wu Shaowu admires Wu Shaogang with all his heart.

At the beginning of the banquet, Wu Shaogang took the initiative to raise a glass and toasted Cao Tongxuan, the prefect and the prefect respectively, and asked Wu Shaozun to toast together, which flattered the prefect and the prefect, and Cao Tongxuan watched all this with a smile.

At the end of the banquet, Wu Shaogang personally sent the prefect and the prefect to leave.

The guests who came to the banquet almost didn't know Wu Shaogang, and when they saw Wu Shaogang walking with the prefect and the prefect, some smart people had already guessed a little, and the bold people took the initiative to come forward to greet them.

After Wu Shaogang's identity was confirmed, many people came forward to say hello.

Wu Shaogang calmly responded, hugging his fists and greeting each other, without the slightest arrogance.

Cao Tongxuan also saw all this.

After the banquet, the accommodation of Wu Shaogang and his entourage had been arranged, and after staying overnight, they were going back.

Three days later, Cao Wengang and Wu Shaolan were going back, but Wu Shaogang had already left by then.

Cao Tongxuan personally accompanied Wu Shaogang into the room.

This is a suite, and it is also the best room in the Cao family.

After a few simple greetings, Cao Tongxuan did not leave immediately, but sat down.

"Master Wu, the old man has a few words, I don't know whether to say them or not."

"What does Taigong Cao command, just say it."

"I'm going to take the entrance examination and the palace examination at the beginning of the year, and I don't know if I can go to high school, the old man thought, after all this is over, let Gang'er follow Lord Wu's side, I don't know if it's feasible."

Wu Shaogang looked at Cao Tongxuan and replied seriously.

"Let Brother Cao follow me, I don't know if Mrs. Cao is willing."

"There's nothing to be reluctant to, the old man thought, when the time comes, Shao Lan can also follow along, if there is anything bad in Gang'er, Lord Wu looks at Shao Lan's face, be more tolerant, don't be merciful where you should be reprimanded, this is also for Gang'er's good."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, secretly admiring Cao Tongxuan, after all, he is a person who has been honed in the officialdom for many years, and he can see and grasp opportunities.

"Mrs. Cao's entrustment, I will definitely do it, now I still let Brother Cao study hard, prepare for next year's examination and palace examination, and when all this is over, I will find a way to let Brother Cao go to Sichuan to do things."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Lord Wu." (To be continued.) )
