At a year-end banquet, Zhang Xi met a lot of colleagues.

has his own immediate boss, Mi Zhu Zizhong, who is in charge of all logistics affairs of Liu Beijun, who is engaged in Langzhong, Mi Zhu Zizhong, who has been following Liu Bei, Jian Yong Jian Xianhe, who is in charge of diplomacy, and the ...... in front of him Kou Feng?!

Kou Feng, or...... Liu Feng?!

Liu Feng's original surname is Kou, the word Gongzhong, because he was adopted by Liu Bei as a righteous son, so he changed his name to Liu Feng.

This Liu Feng's matter was entrusted with the blessing of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and many people hated him with itchy teeth, because he indirectly killed Guan Erye, and he was finally committed suicide by Liu Bei.

But now...... His name is Kou Feng.

What makes Zhang Xi feel strange is that Kou Feng should be a military general, whether it is romance or history, he is a military general.

Why is it now classified as a civilian official?!

I don't understand much, but ...... This is indeed Kou Feng, after some talking, Zhang Xi learned that Kou Feng does have an uncle named Liu Yu, who is the commander of Xinye County, and his mother's surname is Liu, which is indeed a relative of the Han family.

And Kou Feng is only fifteen years old this year.

Yes, after some talking, this Kou Feng is actually only fifteen years old, the same age as Xiao Qibao.

But compared to Xiao Qibao, this fifteen-year-old boy is already tall and strong, and he is not inferior to twenty-year-old Zhang Xi at all.

What's more, Kou Feng is quite handsome, and he has the temperament of a scribe on his face..... That's probably why he sits in the civil office.

Fifteen-year-old people took refuge in Liu Yuanjun, and it is estimated that Liu Yuanjun did not think about whether this was a civil official or a military general, and could only judge by appearance.

Fifteen-year-old Kou Feng, although his words and deeds seem to be steady, he still has a little half-grown child's atmosphere, and Zhang Xi has some experience in dealing with this kind of half-grown child.

After all, I've been with Little Qibao for a long time.

The two of them were so happy chatting that something happened at the banquet that neither of them noticed.

A sergeant accidentally dropped a piece of lamb on the ground while serving tonight's main dish, roast lamb.......

Well, this is a small thing, and it is also a big thing, but now Zhang Xi and Kou Feng are not aware of it.

After chatting with each other for a long time, they all felt that each other was good.

Kou Feng felt that Zhang Xi's way of speaking was very appetizing, and the other party would be very good at what he said, which satisfied Kou Feng, who liked to show off.

And Zhang Xi felt that although this Kou Feng was a little self-conscious and pretentious, he was not the kind of arrogant and arrogant person in essence, and he still had the heart of a young man, so he felt embarrassed when he was praised.

The two chatted until the end of the banquet, and made an appointment with each other to visit each other another day, and then they gave up with each other.

By this time, it was almost time for the banquet to end.

At this time, Liu Bei used the excuse of changing clothes and sent someone to call Zhang Xi to the backyard alone.

"The third brother disturbed Mr. today, and I hope Mr. Haihan!" Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and apologized to Zhang Xi together.

Zhang Xi really didn't expect that there would be such a routine, so he hurriedly returned the salute, and said that he didn't dare.

This is really not a big deal, Zhang Xi really didn't move, why did Liu Bei deliberately tell himself this.

But in Liu Bei's opinion, this matter is indeed not small.

Zhang Fei went to find Zhang Xi this time, although it was not instructed by Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was indeed happy to see it.

The reason is very simple, test Zhang Xi's character.

Although he met in the Zhaoxian Pavilion and chatted a few words, Liu Bei also recognized that Zhang Xi was at least a learned person.

But what is the actual work ability and character, Liu Bei does not know.

After nearly three months of investigation, Liu Bei found that Zhang Xi was at least not the kind of person who didn't know how to be flexible, and there was no big mess when the grain and grass and other affairs were handed over to Zhang Xi, which was a preliminary recognition of Zhang Xi's ability.

Only character, Liu Bei is not clear for the time being.

Liu Bei also knew about Zhang Fei's receipt of a jar of wine from Zhang Xi, but Liu Bei didn't mean to blame Zhang Xi for this. After all, Liu Bei couldn't control Zhang Fei's drinking, so how could he expect Zhang Xi, a newcomer who had just joined, to be able to manage it.

So Zhang Xi gave Zhang Fei a jar of wine in desperation, and under the banner of the New Year's reward, Liu Bei couldn't say anything.

But Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei couldn't control himself, and he would definitely find an opportunity to find Zhang Xi to drink again, if Zhang Xi returned it this time, it would be impossible to say, Liu Bei would change Zhang Xi's position, at least he couldn't let Zhang Xi stay in the logistics management post anymore.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei's behavior at the banquet and quickly called Zhang Fei back after Zhang Xi threw the pot at him.

It's okay to see Zhang Xi's statement, and you can't really let Zhang Fei make trouble because of this matter.

And after this incident, Liu Bei still had to take Zhang Fei to apologize to Zhang Xi, and he couldn't let the wise man have a pimple in his heart because of this matter...... Although Zhang Xi actually didn't realize that Liu Bei had so much thought.

In short, Liu Bei apologized to Zhang Xi with the reluctant Zhang Fei, and Zhang Xi quickly accepted it.

The money has always been 1,000 wen, 30 yuan...... Well, fortunately, Liu Bei arranged for two soldiers to help Zhang Xi send him back, otherwise Zhang Xi really wouldn't be able to take away so much money.

Dead and sinking.

And with these thirty yuan, plus the twenty yuan "settling-in allowance" given by Liu Bei three months ago, Zhang Xi now has a total of fifty yuan.

Faced with such a large sum of money, both the master and servant were a little worried.

Xinye County is not a big county, and the inn in this place is naturally not a big inn.

Fifty cents were kept in the room, guarded by only a small servant...... It's dangerous to think about.

"Master, shall we ...... Buy land, right?! Little Qibao suggested.

This is the inherent concept of people these days, if you have money, of course, you buy land.

Only with constant production can there be perseverance, and the constant production of this year is the land.

Again, in Xiao Qibao's opinion, the master came out to split the family and encountered misfortune, the money was robbed or divided, and the task of the family could not be completed, and the master could not return to Yingchuan at all.

And now that I have some money, I have to buy land first, and then accumulate it little by little...... Maybe you have accumulated thousands of acres of land that day, and you will start a family in this Xinye County?!

But Zhang Xi didn't think so.

If you want to buy land and start a family, you have to wait for the catastrophe of Nagasakapo.

Otherwise, even if you spend money to buy land now, when Cao Bing comes, he will run away again, and these lands will be borderless again.

The money was spent in vain.

"Let's rent a house first!" Zhang Xi said.

I can't continue to live in the inn.

After all, he is now an official, and he will always usher in the ..... when he is an official What's the deal with ushering in the inn?!

So it is necessary to have your own house.

However, Zhang Xi didn't think about buying a house...... Again, Shinno is not a place to settle, and if you want to settle, you have to wait until after the Battle of Nagasakapo to consider where to settle.

Therefore, even if you buy a house, it is more cost-effective to rent a house.

And there's no shame in renting.

Except for Liu Bei's General Zuo's Zuo Mansion, which was an industry donated by the Huang family of Xiangyang, Liu Bei's other civil and military generals all rented houses, and there was no shame in renting a house by themselves.

Therefore, in the past few days near the end of the year, Zhang Xi still "went to work" as usual, and Xiao Qibao took the time to inquire everywhere where there was a house for rent.

Within a few days, Little Qibao found a suitable place.

It is not in Xinye City, it is in Dengjia Village, five miles outside the city, and there is an old house in the village for rent.

Xiao Qibao went to see it and said that the place has two entrances, the front hall is the living room, and the back hall is the bedroom.

And this Dengjia Village, in fact, has a lot of origin.

They are a branch of the Deng clan that belongs to the Nanyang family.

Deng Jiazu was the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the head of the 28 generals of Yuntai, Gaomi Marquis Deng Yu.

Deng Yu was originally a new savage, so the foundation of the Deng family can be said to be in Xinye.

However, with the development of the times, the Deng family has gone through several ups and downs, and Xinye County is small, so it is difficult to develop the scale of the family, so all the members of the Deng family moved to Wancheng to develop, and only a small branch was left in Xinye County.

The current Dengjia Village is somewhat untouchable to the world, Wancheng's own family thinks that they are just a separate family's industry, and they don't care about their life or death, and the people of Dengjia Village in Xinye County still think that they are the roots, and they don't look down on Wancheng's own family...... Dengjia Village survived on its own, and as the relationship between the two sides got worse and worse, it was finally reduced to living by renting.

Zhang Xi didn't care much about this, after all, for him, it was enough to have a place to live.

And although this Dengjia Village is outside the city, it is only five or six miles away from the promised distance, and the distance to work every day is about the same as now, Xiao Qibao said that although the place is not big, but all kinds of furniture are ready, no need to add more, you can save a lot of things.

Zhang Xi decided to take the time to go to Dengjia Village, and under the witness of the clan elders, the two parties signed the lease.

Then move quickly, and strive for the first day of the new year, so that we can live in our new home.
