Kang Chao slept for several days in a row, and his spirit was not tired. I thought about it a lot at night, and finally I fell asleep again. The next day, when the sky was bright, he was woken up from bed by Qin Hui. While learning Qin Hui's general washing, he asked Qin Hui about the etiquette he should pay attention to. Eating his first meal in this world, although it was not delicious, but because he had only eaten some thin food for many days, he still ate a lot. If it weren't for Qin Hui to stop him, I'm afraid he would have died directly in this Han Dynasty. It's a joke for Qin Hui. After breakfast, the two went to Zheng Xuan's mansion.

Speaking of this Zheng Xuan, the Kang Dynasty still heard of his name even in later generations. In the current world, he is even more of a top figure in the Han Dynasty. Zheng Xuan, whose name is Kangcheng, a native of Gaomi in Beihai, was a master of scripture in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he devoted his life to sorting out the ancient cultural heritage, so that scripture entered a "small unified era". He once entered Tai to study "Jingshi Yi", "Ram Spring and Autumn" and "Three Unification Calendars" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and learned "Ancient Texts and Books", "Zhou Li" and "Zuo Chuan" from Zhang Gongzu, and finally learned ancient scriptures from Ma Rong. After returning from the study tour, he returned to Donglai, gathered disciples to teach, and his disciples reached thousands of people, and his family was poor and studious, and he finally became a great Confucian. The disaster of the party was imprisoned, and Du Men commented and devoted himself to writing. Mainly based on ancient scriptures, and adopt modern scriptures, pay attention to the group scriptures, author of "Seven Political Treatises on Astronomy", "Zhonghou" and other books, a total of more than one million words, known as "Zheng Xue", for the Han Dynasty scriptures of the collection of masters. During the Tang Zhenguan period, Zheng Xuan was listed among the twenty-two "ancestors" and enjoyed the Confucian Temple. In the Song Dynasty, he was posthumously awarded the title of Gao Mibo. Later generations commemorate his people and build Zheng Gong Ancestral Hall. Coincidentally, now this Zheng Xuan is cultivating in Donglai County. In more than a year, because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he will avoid chaos in Xuzhou. "However, now that I am here, I don't care about other counties in Qingzhou, and I will definitely not let the yellow scarf rise again in Donglai County, so that my uncle should not avoid chaos in Xuzhou." Kang Chao thought to himself, even Kang Chao himself didn't realize that his current idea was actually a fusion of memories implanted in him by the system.

Zheng Xuan's residence is not far from the county office, and the two of them stopped and stopped, but they only walked in two quarters of an hour. looked at the students who were very polite and waiting in front of Zheng Xuan's mansion. The two are not easy to compete for. Someone passed the word, and they waited outside the rules. After all, they are not ordinary students, and as soon as the two of them entered the house, they heard that the door of the house was wide open, and Zheng Xuan's personal old slave hurriedly came to invite the two of them into the house. Seeing this, the students outside the door were clamoring and unfair, but they only heard the old slave talk about the identity of the Kang Dynasty. The student saw that the honor of the county government was only passed on first, so he lost his voice again. The two of them didn't care about this, and followed the old slave forward quickly. This Zheng Xuanfu is not very big. It's just a two-way yard. This Zheng Xuan was lecturing with the disciples in the front yard, so Kang Chao went to the backyard to see his aunt first. Qin Hui stayed in the local area and waited.

In the backyard where Kang Chao entered, he saw an old woman, dressed very plainly, but she had a bookish atmosphere. In a flash, I knew that this was my aunt. Busy Shi Li said: "My nephew has seen my aunt. When the woman heard of her nephew's coming, she rejoiced and said, "Chao'er is coming, so come with your aunt and sit in the house." Whether it's a business or a private matter. According to the rules, you were a little tired and a little sad a few days ago? ”

The two parents of the Kang Dynasty and Kang Gui brothers died early. The two have been raised with this woman since they were children, and they say that they are aunts, but they are actually no different from their own mothers. Kang Gui was afraid that his aunt would be in a hurry the day before yesterday, so he just said that this Kang Dynasty was a little sad, so he couldn't come for several days. When Kang Chao heard this, he understood his brother's deep meaning, and helped him cover up: "It's just that there are some minor illnesses, and now they are fine." Today, I came to visit my aunt and uncle. ”

"In that case, I won't leave today, and I will have a family dinner with your uncle and cousin in the evening. Since you became the county magistrate, we haven't eaten together for a long time. When Zheng heard Kang Chao say that she was only here for private matters, she asked Zhang's family, Li Jia, about some family matters. He also asked if he could be interested in someone. After all, he is not married in his twenties, and in this era, he is already considered to be old and unmarried.

Kang Chao was not bothered, but just smiled and replied to his aunt. First of all, he said that he also wanted to stay and eat together, but the county was busy and there was a yellow scarf leftover. I am afraid that I will not be idle, but fortunately, it has been closed in recent years, and I should come to disturb it when the time comes. He also said that his fame has not yet been established, and the matter of marriage can be left to chance. The two were talking, and they heard someone from the front yard, saying that Zheng Xuan had finished his lecture and had come to ask Kang Chao to go to the front yard to answer. After hearing this, Zheng Nu hurriedly said: "Since your uncle is looking for you, go quickly." When I leave later, I don't use it to answer the gift, but I will come back in a few days to gossip with me, an old woman. ”

After hearing this, Kang Chao replied and retired. Called Qin Hui, who was waiting outside, to come together to see his uncle, the great Confucian in the world, and also his own professional teacher, Zheng Xuan, Zheng Kangcheng.

Before the two of them entered the hospital, they heard one of them say to Kang Chao: "Brother, my uncle asked me to pick you up outside." Kang Chao looked fixedly, but it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. The face is white and beardless, about 1.7 meters tall, and he is a Confucian scholar, but he has not been crowned. understands that this should be his only remaining relatives in this world. Younger brother Kang Gui. In the end, it was a blood connection, Kang Chao felt a sense of cordiality when he saw it, and said with a smile: "The second brother is beautiful again, and the eldest brother is becoming more and more ashamed." Kang Gui also smiled: "Young people are naturally better than old people, how can old people compare with new people?" Big brother is in good health? ”

Kang Chao gently punched him in the past, and said angrily: "You dare to laugh at your eldest brother." It's time to play. It's just that he couldn't help laughing at first, and said: "It's all right, but there are still soulless symptoms that occur from time to time, and many past events are difficult to remember." It's fine. The two laughed a few words, took the opportunity to tidy up their clothes, and pushed the door in. I saw three or four old people in the courtyard, thirteen or fourteen strong people, and five or six young people. There are nearly 30 people in total. Kang Gui had heard Kang Chao say that he had lost his soul outside the house, so he made up his mind to help him introduce the characters. So he said in a low voice: "The person sitting in the courtyard is my uncle." On the left hand side is our fellow villagers, Shen Tupan, and on the right hand is the plain Confucian, Xiangkai. They are all uncles and friends, and I am a senior. ”

Kang Chao secretly thought that his young brother, although he didn't know what his talent was, but this seven-clever and exquisite heart was very rare. So he saluted forward and said: "The student is not only Chen Liukangchao, but he has seen his teacher, Shentu Gong, and Xianggong. ”

When the three of them saw the respect of one of their counties, they could still be respectful. Hold a disciple salute to yourself. They were all secretly a little happy. Especially Zheng Xuan, he only has one son, Zheng Yi. So for this nephew, he has always been like a son. So he first asked, "Is your body okay?" Since the beginning of the year, it has been opened as a county order, but there is something unclear? Shentu and Xiangkai are both here, you can ask the two for advice. ”

Kang Chao originally wanted to ask about the county's affairs, and he just said it through Zheng Xuan's words: "Back to the teacher, the body is fine." The county is indeed unclear. Today, the yellow turban is resurrected, Donglai Gengling, Beihai Guanhai, Le'an Bairao. There is also Xu He's overall planning. In the previous rebellion, the county guard was killed, and the government withered. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon? ”

After Zheng Xuan heard this, while he was still pondering, he heard Nashen Tupan ask Kang Chao: "You are the county honor, you can tell me your thoughts first." ”

Kang Chao didn't want them to kick the ball back first, and after a little thought, he replied: "Civil affairs should be soothed, and thieves should be punished." ”

After hearing this, Shen Tupan laughed and said: "With these eight characters, why are you waiting for me?" So much better. Zheng Xuan and Na Xiangkai also nodded and smiled, expressing their approval. Seeing this, Kang Chao said again: "It's just that the civil withering, all things are added, the county is empty, and the disciples are lacking in skills." I came here to ask my teacher to send a few juniors and disciples to help. ”

Zheng Xuan smiled: "This matter is easy." If you are not crowned in the year of the child, you cannot be educated. Zheng Yi, although my son is also, he does not avoid relatives. Talent can be useful, I wish you a hand. After speaking, he summoned a man from among the prime of life and said to him: "Yien, you have studied the scriptures with me all the year round, and you can become a master today." Boyang is your brother, and the public is your master. Don't lose your dignity. You are friendly with your disciples. But there are still people who can recommend Boyang. ”

Kang Chao looked at the man, twenty-seven or eighteen years old. He has a slight beard, black skin and bright skin, more like a peasant than a literati. Hearing Zheng Xuan call him Yien, he knew that it was his cousin. Zheng Xuan's only son, Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi first agreed to the order, and then said: "All disciples are extraordinary. It's just that Cui Yan and Gongsun's second junior brother will return to Hebei with Xianggong tomorrow. It will be difficult to help. The rest is Chen Wu, and He Yang and others have not been in the house for a long time. It's hard to get out of the place. Only Guozini and Xi Hongyu have both talent and morality to help Boyang. I should do it for Boyang. ”

After hearing this, Zheng Xuan was relieved and said: "The son of the country, the beauty and talent, I look at his people, and he will be a national weapon." Xi Hongyu, a brave man, should also be extraordinary. But it can be a master. In that case, you wait for the juniors to discuss it yourself. We are old, but we are running out of energy. Don't compete with you. You can step back. ”

After listening to this, the two knew that these were the three elders who had something to discuss, so they called the junior brothers to take the Kang Dynasty as the east. Just eat and drink at a restaurant not far away. During the banquet, the guests enjoyed themselves. Kang Chao mentioned asking Guoyuan and Xi to help. The two did not refuse. He also had a cordial conversation with Cui Yan and others. Although he has no chance, he always leaves a good fate.

Seeing that Kang Gui was faintly the leader among the young people, Chen Wu and He Yang were also worthy of being young talents. There are already a few celebrities. The feast lasted from noon to evening. Cui Yan and the others were the first to retire because they wanted to send Xiangkai back to Hebei the next day, and then Chen Wu, He Yang and other young people also retired and returned home. During the banquet, only the Kang family brothers, Guo Yuan, Qin Hui, Xi Wei, and Zheng Yi were left. Kang Chao saw that the rest were his own people, and he was drunk while he was drinking. The positions of the three Guoyuan were set.

Guoyuan is a high-ranking Confucian, the household Cao of life, the main civil sacrifice of agricultural mulberry, is the most important among all Cao; Xi Worry, Courage and Courage, the Decision of Life, the Principal Crime Dharma; Zheng Yi, close to his own family, the golden Cao of life, the matter of the main coin, salt and iron. With these three people, the three powers of the people, law, and money were arrested, plus there were various miscellaneous affairs of Qin Hui, and Wu Sangui was in charge of martial affairs. This small county government can be regarded as a sparrow, although it is small, and it has all kinds of organs. If it weren't for the fact that it was late today, the Kang Dynasty would have held a large banquet to make everyone familiar. However, it is also a shame that everyone is a senior brother, and he has a long way to go in the mountains, and he is not at this time.
