Lujiang, Qiao's house.

After Qiao Guolao learned that Cao Ang came to the door with a gift, he hurried out to greet him.

"The old man has seen the young general."

Qiao Guolao hugged his fists at Cao Ang and bent down to salute and said hello.

Although Qiao Guolao is a famous family, and his own prestige in the local area is high enough, he has no official position after all.

And although Cao Ang is said to be a junior, he is a hussar general and a marquis!

Under one person, above ten thousand! The armies of the world, including the Northern Army, were all transferred to Cao Ang.

No matter how high his prestige is, this Qiao Guolao does not dare to put up a fight with Cao Ang.

Of course, Qiao Guolao is so polite, and Cao Ang will not bully others.

Cao Ang hugged his fist at Master Qiao Guo and returned the salute, without bending over, because there was no need for that.

"Junior Cao Ang, I have seen Qiao Guolao."

"The major general's visit to the cold house is really shining, hurry, please inside."

"Please!"

Cao Ang, the veteran of Qiao Guo, invited him to the house and instructed the servants to serve tea.

Afterwards, Qiao Guolao looked Cao Ang up and down, and praised with a smile: "The young general is young and promising, and he is dignified, and he is really a vain man under his reputation!" ”

Cao Ang smiled and waved his hand: "Qiao Guo's old man praised it." ”

Then Cao Ang waved his hand and asked people to bring the gift prepared in advance.

There are not many gifts, but they are all relatively rare, and they were rescued from Yuan Shu's palace.

Thanks to Yuan Shu's greed for money, when he built the palace, he made the inner library of marble and fine iron, so that these treasures would not be burned in the fire.

The gifts that Cao Ang brought were just some corals, crystals and other treasures, as well as some rare jewelry, as well as some calligraphy and paintings.

"The juniors came to visit, prepared a little courtesy, and asked Qiao Guolao to smile."

"The young general has a heart." Qiao Guolao replied with a smile, he is a scholar, the local prestige is high, and there is no shortage of money in the family, so he only likes some rare treasures, as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

The things that Cao Ang sent were sent to his heart just now.

As for those jewelry, Qiao Guolao gave them to his daughter at first glance.

After all, the name of this big and small Qiao has always been very loud.

Qiao Guolao asked people to put away the gifts, and then asked with a smile: "Young General, what happened when you came to the old man's house today?" ”

Cao Ang faced Qiao Guolao's inquiry, and he had nothing to hide, so he went straight to the point: "Ang Su heard that Qiao Guolao was noble and righteous, and he had a high prestige in the local area. ”

"This puppet emperor Yuan Shu is the emperor in Yangzhou, and he has been exterminated by Ang, and all the officials of the puppet regime, big and small, have been imprisoned, so that in addition to the assassination history of Yangzhou, the remaining officials need to be reappointed."

Cao Ang said this, and stopped.

Qiao Guolao is not a fool, after all, he can live to this age safely and steadily, and a person with a certain prestige, how can he not understand this.

He knew that Cao Ang was asking him to recommend officials, and he also sold him a favor.

It's just that Qiao Guolao couldn't figure out why Cao Ang came to him, after all, they didn't have anything to do with each other before.

Qiao Guolao thought of some precious jewelry in the gift given by Cao Ang just now, and instantly figured it out, this was the idea of beating his two daughters!

Thinking of this, Qiao Guolao smiled proudly.

This big and small Qiao, that is the pride of Qiao Guolao, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, plus the two daughters are beautiful and beautiful, although they don't show up much, but the name of these two Qiaos has long been passed out.

"Young General, allow the old man to be arrogant, in this Yangzhou, even those disciples of the family also depend on the face of the old man, if the young general you lack officials, of course the old man can be recommended."

"It's just that the old man asked, who is this Yangzhou assassin history, is it the young general?"

Cao Ang has not yet played the matter of letting Sun Jian lead the Yangzhou assassination history, but since he said it, it is a sure thing, but it has not been publicized.

"It's Sun Jian, he helped me break Yuan's technique, and took Shouchun City bloodlessly, I have promised him to give him the position of this Yangzhou assassin history."

"But in fact, there are only the four counties of Jiangdong under his jurisdiction, and it is impossible for all the officials of the four counties of Jiangdong to be arranged by himself, and the imperial court needs to arrange some people to take up posts."

"As for the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang, the officials are all appointed by the imperial court, but now the imperial court is also short of manpower, and there are not so many people who can be transferred to Yangzhou, so I can only come to visit Qiao Guolao and ask you to help solve this problem."

When Qiao Guolao heard this, his heart became even happier.

He knew that Cao Ang was selling favors to himself.

So he waved his hand: "The young general can rest assured, this Yangzhou genius will give the old man a few thin noodles!" How about the old man write a letter and ask them to go to Shouchun to find you? ”

Cao Ang smiled slightly: "Elder Qiao Guo said that he laughed, my father often taught Zi Xuan to be a corporal of courtesy, how could I let the talented people come to me, I should have Zi Xuan personally visit them." ”

"Okay, the young general will definitely make the world's talents return to their hearts if they do this!" Qiao Guolao complimented, and then began to be polite.

After all, after the business was over, Cao Ang was not very good to leave like this, it seemed that the purpose was too strong, and there was still some small talk.

After chatting for a while, Qiao Guo's old words changed: "Young General, I don't know if you have heard of the name of the old daughter?" ”

Cao Ang was stunned when he heard this, he wanted to say that he had heard of it, and he had heard it in his previous life.

It's just that it's hard to say.

"Qiao Guolao laughed, Er Qiao's reputation, Zi Yu has naturally heard of it."

Cao Ang said as he took a sip of tea.

Qiao Guolao also smiled and said to the servant, "Let the two young ladies come over to see the young general." ”

In fact, Qiao Guolao knew that Cao Ang was already married, but it didn't matter to him, after all, a hero like Cao Ang was the only one in the world.

If you can marry one of your daughters to him, it can be regarded as finding a good home for your daughter.

Just as Cao Ang and Qiao Guolao were talking, a curtain was lowered on one side of the hall.

Immediately after, two figures appeared behind the curtain.

"Major General, slave family and sister, present a song for the young general, I hope the young general likes it."

As the words fell, the sound of the piano and the chirping sounded behind the curtain.

Cao Ang could hear that the music played by the two sisters was spring and autumn snow, and the effect of the two of them playing together was much better than that played by the court musicians.

As soon as the song was finished, the two women stepped back from behind the curtain.

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Gong Qiao, it seems that the two young ladies are not looking at the mediocre below." ”
