The water and mountains are harmonious, and the lake surface has no wind mirrors and is not polished.

In the southwest of the goose-shaped mountain, lush green mountains are surrounded by a pool of clear water. Because its water surface is smooth and bright, it is just like a mirror that does not need to be polished, and between the pitches, the water and the sky are not distinguished, so it is named Tianjing Lake.

Tianjing Lake, which was quiet in the past, is extremely lively today.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the wind and the sun are beautiful. On the shore of Tianjing Lake, the voices of people are boiling, and the audience is blocked.

Those who came to watch the dragon boat race around the lake were not only the residents of Jiachong who dragged their families, but also the young men in fresh clothes and angry horses in the four counties of Luo, Hanchang, Yiyang and Linxiang, and the rich businessmen who were light and fat.

Suddenly, the sound of drums and drums thundered three times, and the noise stopped, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be delayed for a moment.

After an instant, with a bang, the drummers of ten dragon boats struck the boat drums at the same time, igniting the quiet world to resound.

In Tianjing Lake, the shadow chops the waves, the drums split the waves, and the dragon boats scramble, like arrows off the string, and like dragons hitting the water.

On the shore of Tianjing Lake, colorful flags are rolling, red silk is flying, cheers and cheers come and go, deafening.

"Reluctantly, Jade Liquid!"

"The teeth are white, work hard!"

"Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock ~, Disease~Disease~Disease~, Rhino, Rhino, invincible!"

……

Heaven and earth cheered in unison, and the lake and the crowd boiled at the same time. The warm atmosphere made the hearts of the district stars watching the game on the high platform surging, and he couldn't help but jump and shout as a self-proclaimed well-informed.

However, since several of the major title sponsors are all family property of the district, Ou Xing, as the young patriarch, can only have a bowl of water - he shouted "disease ~ disease ~ disease ~, color ~ color ~ color ~".

"Brother Barbarian! Barbarian...... Woo~"

Under the high platform, a young man waved his hand at Ou Xing's jumping feet and shouted loudly. Before he could say a word, the young man was covered by a young man who came after him.

"Hey~" Ou Xing looked down and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he turned his head and ordered, "Ah Le, go and invite the two Kou gentlemen to the stage." ”

"Yui."

Soon, the teenagers and young people climbed the high platform under the guidance of Ou Le.

As soon as he took the stage, the young man raised his hands and walked a few steps towards the district star, wanting to make deep reparations. Seeing this, Ou Xing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the young man's arms.

"Gongchen, my brother is stubborn, his words and deeds are indifferent, and he has offended a lot, please forgive me."

"Haha, it's okay." Ou Xing smiled and lifted the young man up, "There are no taboos for young and old to speak." Ziyuan doesn't have to be polite. ”

Gongchen is the table character given to him by Luo Hou Kode when Ou Xing was studying in Kou's Dock.

In front of Ou Xing, the young man Lang Jun who behaved like a ceremony was one of the few classmates who gave him blue eyes in Ou Xing's six-year primary school career - Luo Hou Koude's eldest son Kou Bao Kou Ziyuan.

Before Kou Bao could answer, the young man on the side muttered first: "That's it." Brother Barbarian is not in a hurry, you are in a hurry. ”

This naughty boy is Kod's youngest son, Kou Feng. He is still young, and he has not yet taken the table.

The huge difference between Kou Feng and Kou Bao highly reflects one word - overkill.

As the eldest son of Luohou Kode, Kou Bao received an orthodox and strict Confucian education, was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, was proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, had outstanding knowledge, and had a noble character, and was an exemplary and upright gentleman.

However, in the filthy era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Kou Bao was a little out of place. On the one hand, Kord was always proud of his eldest son's excellence, but on the other hand, he was often worried that he would be bullied.

So, in terms of the education of his youngest son, Kord thought that he should adjust it.

However, this adjustment is overdone. He is eight years old this year, but when he entered elementary school, Kou Feng has already grown into a well-known gentleman in Luo County.

"Brother!"

Kou Bao turned his head, glared at his younger brother, and said very seriously:

"Gongchen, literary brilliance, elegance, and a model of time. I am respectful, and I am a brother, how dare you be so rude! Etiquette, the work of people. Rudeness, inability to stand......"

Under the feudal patriarchal system, the eldest brother is like a father. For Kou Feng, the eldest brother Kou Bao is really angry, and he still has enough deterrent power for him.

The hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, Kou Feng touched his nose in a sneer, and immediately leaned over and bowed to Ou Xing to apologize.

The arrival of the Kou brothers surprised Ou Xing.

Starting from the county seat of Luoxian, go northwest for about 30 miles along Mishui, which is Kou's dock. And Qu Yuantan is near Kou's Dock.

Out of the door, next door is the orthodox birthplace of dragon boat racing. The Kou brothers didn't go to Qu Yuantan to watch the dragon boat, but they ran to the goose-shaped mountain a hundred miles away.

"Ah Feng heard that the Dragon Boat Festival customs of Goose Mountain are quite different from other places, so he begged me to take him to see a new one."

The answer given by Kou Bao was not surprising.

Kou Feng is playful, but lazy. I got up late this morning, and by the time I arrived at Tianjing Lake, the brothers couldn't find a suitable place to watch the game.

How could Feng Gongzi accept this grievance, so there was a little turmoil just now.

However, for Ou Xing, the brothers arrived at the right time - he was looking for help from Luo Houkoud.

"Ziyuan, I have something to ask for."

"Gongchen, but it's okay to talk about it."

"Ziyuan, you know, Yuhua District has a lot of business dealings with the surrounding counties. Among them, including Wuling, Lingling......"

Ou Xing regarded Dong Yi, the new county magistrate, as a series of barbarians from the three places in the business dealings between the Ou family and the merchants of Wuling and Lingling, and mistakenly thought that the Ou family wanted to plot against him, and yesterday he also gave a brief explanation to Kou Bao about his arrest and seizure.

As a good citizen of the empire, being mistaken for a usurper is naturally very inappropriate.

So he wanted to find a respected elder as a middleman to guaranture, organize a dinner for the county order and the district family, hunt and catch a fish together, so as to resolve the misunderstanding of the county order and let him understand the loyalty of the Yuhua district family.

Looking at the entire Luo County, if you talk about the status and high morality, who is the Hou of Sheluo?

Ou Xing wanted to ask Kou Bao for help and talk to his Hou Ye and Daddy in advance. In the near future, he will visit the door and personally ask Luo Hou for help.

The effort of raising hands is indispensable, and it should not be mentioned. Kou Feng on the side leaned over and interjected:

"It turns out that the status of the marquis is so respected?"

"That being the case," as he spoke, Kou Feng also arched his hand towards the north with a pretentious matter, "When today's son is the most holy and clear." The title of the Marquis of Guannai, with a clear price, is worth five million, and it also comes with a full set of gold seal purple ribbons. The eldest brother is rich and rivals the country, why don't you just buy yourself a marquis? ”

"Huh~" Ou Xing couldn't help laughing.

Emperor Ling has no way, and it is true that he sells official beards, but he is not an outright critic after all.

The price of the Marquis of Guannai is five million, and not anyone who pays five million can buy the title of Marquis of Guannai.

But when you first have the merit qualifications to seal the inner marquis, you must first spend five million to bribe the emperor, and then he will give you the knighthood.

His Majesty the Emperor also very intimately promulgated a series of policies to benefit the people, oh not the officials. For example, those who are of high moral character can enjoy a half-price discount - half of the person who is selected according to virtue, or one-third.

Kou Feng didn't learn anything, and Ou Xing didn't bother to explain it to him. laughed and laughed, just pretend to be forced.

"Buy? Inevitably I underestimate you barbarian brother. If the star wants to be crowned, do you still need to spend money to buy it? ”

"Smack~Cai!" Kou Bao stroked his palms and admired, "The ambition of a husband is to be a marquis in life and a temple food in death." Praise and Gongchen encouragement! ”

Wow, yes, and praise. Then go ahead.

"Ziyuan. It's not my intention to be a marquis, but I hope the world is peaceful! ”

Ou Xing grabbed Kou Bao's hands, looked into his eyes, and said sincerely:

"Today, the world is erosive, thieves are everywhere, the society is in danger of exhaustion, and the living soul is in urgent need of hanging upside down, this is the time for my husband to serve the country! The one who wishes the stars is to go hand in hand with Ziyuan to help the country in danger and save the people from fire and water! ”

"Gongchen!" Kou Bao burst into tears.

"Ziyuan!"

The two hands were clasped tightly together.
