Chapter 23: Officials

Legend has it that Steward Lu is a eunuch in the palace, so he has no children and no daughters, and the palace is the most complicated place in the world, so he understands very well the truth that good birds choose trees to perch, and therefore as soon as Li Dahai died, he quickly made a decision and chose to follow the new master of Gongye Yunrong.

He admires Gongye Yunrong, and Gongye Yunrong also admires him, because a good housekeeper is the person Gongye Yunrong needs most now, and they are like lips and teeth at the moment, interdependent.

"Phewβ€”"

The coachman restrained the horse and brought the carriage to a steady stop.

Gongye Yunrong jumped out of the car first and looked at the Taishou Mansion not far ahead. The Taishou Mansion occupies a very large area, solemn and magnificent, but the two soldiers standing at the gate have their hands on their sleeves and their necks shrunk, looking very obscene.

After Daewoo destroyed Wei, in order to avoid the recurrence of the division of the states at the end of the Wei Dynasty, the state and county soldiers were abolished, and the military officials were replaced, with 100 people in the large county and 50 people in the small county to maintain law and order, but in fact, there were very few state and county soldiers who were canceled. Qingyang, as a strategic point, maintained a standing army of 5,000 men.

Steward Lu said that there was a team of thirty elite soldiers stationed in the house, as the personal guards of the Taishou, but as far as the two people Gongye Yunrong saw, they didn't look like elite soldiers from their heads and feet, if everyone was like this, how could they fight?

Gongye Yunrong couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Steward Lu was not surprised by this situation, holding a brocade box in his hand, and led Gongye Yunrong towards the mansion. The soldiers at the door recognized Steward Lu, and Steward Lu reported the name of Gongye Yunrong, and the two soldiers obviously got guidance from above, and let the two of them in with a smile.

Entering the mansion, passing through the front yard of the subordinate office, a small servant came up to greet him. The little maid welcomed the two to the second flower hall, invited the two to sit for a while, and then turned around and went inside to report, and after a while, their own maid served tea.

Gongye Yunrong looked at the extremely elaborate flower hall and thought secretly: "Looking at the situation, Yunlong lives in luxury, and it is not practical at all, but the people's lives are extremely difficult, such a court has been hollowed out by these moths, how can it not collapse?"

After a while, the little guy from before came over to report that Taishou was waiting for the two of them in the study, and Gongye Yunrong and Steward Lu hurriedly got up and followed the little guy to the direction of the study.

Taishou Yunlong is a short, short and chubby middle-aged man, with a round face, in fact, the whole person looks round, but he has a pair of small eyes, a two-handful mustache, and his appearance is very funny, and he is standing next to the sandalwood bookcase at the moment, holding a birdcage with a canary in one hand, and carrying it behind his back with the other, whistling and teasing the birds.

He saw that the little guy led Gongye Yunrong and Steward Lu in, handed the birdcage to the little guy, waved it back, and walked to the soft pier and sat down.

Gongye Yunrong heard the melodious birdsong before he arrived in the study, and he no longer expected that the dignified leader of Qingyang County would see that the demons had almost surrounded Qingyang, and he still had the leisure to play with birds.

Gongye Yunrong bowed and said, "Caomin Gongye Yunrong has seen adults. ”

Steward Lu also saluted.

Yunlong waved his hand, looked at Gongye Yunrong with a pair of sparkling eyes, and smiled sharply: "Not bad!

Gongye Yunrong didn't know what he was referring to, so he couldn't answer for a while, but he heard Yunlong continue to laugh and say: "I heard that you easily knocked down six big men with good martial arts skills alone, I still don't believe it, today I see that Gongye Zhuangshi is a good man, there will be no fake." ”

Gongye Yunrong laughed in his heart, this guy has a good face, but his face is different. He smiled and said: "My lord has won the prize, and there is indeed some brute force in the bottom, but it is a pity that it is useless." ”

Yunlong's eyes flashed: "Oh, what do you mean, it seems that you want to serve the country?"

Gongye Yunrong didn't answer immediately, turned his head and handed a look to Steward Lu, Steward Lu understood, picked up the brocade box in his hand and sent it to Yunlong, and then opened the brocade box, only to see that there was a jade horse with a whole body of turquoise, crystal round, delicate carving, lifelike, at a glance, it was priceless, Yunlong glanced at the brocade box, and his eyes were suddenly fascinated.

The corners of Gongye Yunrong's mouth showed a subtle sneering smile, and when he saw Yunlong immediately retract his greedy gaze from the jade, he immediately smiled and said: "This should be the best treasure in the Li Mansion, if it is not a respect, please laugh and accept it." ”

Steward Lu covered the brocade box, gently placed it on the bookcase, and retreated.

Yunlong smiled, patted the lid of the brocade box lightly with a fat hand, and said, "The whole Li Mansion is yours now, and you are a good person." ”

Gongye Yunrong smiled humbly: "Whether the Li Mansion is under or not, it has to be decided by Lord Taishou, in fact, I have robbed Steward Lu's job, and I am just a housekeeper." ”

Yunlong laughed, nodded at Gongye Yunrong and said, "You are much better than Li Dahai." ”

Gongye Yunrong and Steward Lu glanced at each other and laughed. After laughing for a while, Gongye Yunrong said cautiously: "If there is chaos today, I really have the idea of contributing to the country, so I don't know if Lord Taishou is willing to give me this opportunity." ”

Yunlong stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, with a contemplative look on his face, Gongye Yunrong and Steward Lu waited quietly, not daring to disturb.

Yunlong paced around the study twice, and suddenly stopped looking at Gongye Yunrong and said: "In troubled times, it is rare that you are willing to serve the country with glory and wealth, so let's do it, I am also employing people now, you will go to my house to be a household Cao Peng first." ”

Gongye Yunrong was stunned, and he didn't know what Hu Cao Peng was, but when he met Yunlong for the first time, it was not easy to bargain with him, so he had to thank him in advance.

Last night he made a five-year plan for himself, the first step is to find Yunlong for a position, the best result he envisioned is to be able to fight for a position in the army, but listening to the name "Hu Cao Peng", he knew that it should not be a position in the army, although he was a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry, Yunlong didn't still have something to do with him?

Yunlong seemed very happy to take Gongye Yunrong under his account, and suddenly came over and patted Gongye Yunrong on the shoulder, and sighed: "I said Yunrong, why did you scatter so much of Li Dahai's property?

Gongye Yunrong smiled and said, "My lord, there is actually a purpose for doing this. ”

Yunlong said: "Oh?"

Gongye Yunrong said: "Now that the people in the city have gone to the small half, if the people are gone, there will be a protracted war in the future, and it will not be able to support it for long, and this is also done to stabilize the people's hearts." ”

Yesterday, he scattered half of Li Dahai's family property, just to pave the way for seeing Yunlong.

When Yunlong heard this, he was really happy, nodded and smiled: "Well, you are still thoughtful, so it seems that this Hu Cao Peng really belongs to you." He laughed.
