Chapter 61: There are old people in Xuzhou
"Let's go," Xi Zhicai whispered not far away, his eyes were quite peaceful, he thought about it carefully, and still felt that Gan Gong was just planning to make up for yesterday's regrets.
After all, Zhang Han is young and vigorous, and he may regret it, so he can try again today and form a friendship with him; If Zhang Han is still not interested, Gan Gong can apologize, and then praise him fiercely, and give Qian Silk instead.
These old people who have gone through the vicissitudes of life and have already seen through the world are very good at being people, and they will not let go of any young man with potential, not to mention that Bai Ding like Zhang Han has the need to recruit.
Xi Zhicai smiled lightly and gave Zhang Han a hint that he could go on this trip, and maybe he could gain something.
Zhang Han also cast an excited look, as if he would never refuse again this time!
……
In the evening, the feast was still the same as yesterday, except that there were more maidservants serving and drinking.
Zhang Han didn't drink much this time, thinking that Old Man Gan didn't have to continue to talk so much about being vassal, he just wanted to fast forward to sleep at night.
It's good to skip these unnecessary entertainments, and start getting down to business directly, and there is no need to be so verbose at all.
But until the evening, I didn't wait for the next step.
Gan Gongle got up and bowed his hand, "Today's recounting, I deeply feel that Bochang's character and style are admirable, and they are different from the Confucian scholars I have seen in the past." ”
Zhang Han: "? ”
This seems to be the closing remarks.
He also stood up and arched his hand: "Gan Gong praised it." ”
I'm rubbing, isn't it old man, it's too much fast forward, I'm mentally prepared to come today, you're here, fart......
"Naturally, there is no false praise, and the words of the old man are all from the bottom of my heart, and I deeply feel that Bo Chang is both talented and excellent, kind-hearted, and has a heart for all people, and it is difficult for young people to have this valuable heart, which is gratifying."
"There is a daughter in my family, beautiful like jade, noble since childhood, gentle and virtuous, knows the way of virtue, I don't know if Bo Chang is interested?"
Oh, it turned out that he was not a kuntou, but to marry a famous girl in the clan.
"Heh," Zhang Han chuckled, "So, Gan Gong was still under the test last night?" ”
Dare to say this directly, I must be very confident in this woman, maybe she is really a beauty, but I'm sorry, I Zhang Han doesn't like to be calculated, no matter how beautiful this woman is, you have stepped on my bottom line from the beginning.
Gan Gong, people's hearts, can't stand the test, no matter what the result is, they will hurt each other after all.
"Hahaha, don't blame Bo Chang, this is the meaning of my daughter, this woman's name is Ganmei, eighteen years old, her beauty has been passed down in the township for many years, thirteen or fourteen years, there have been many people asking to marry, but the old man thinks that the daughter of nobility should be worthy of the heroes of the world."
Gan Mei ...... Isn't that Mrs. Gan?
Gan Gong said it well, but in fact, he also wanted to sell it for a good price, which was really a good calculation. However, if I marry her, the relationship with Xiaopei and the wealthy family will naturally be much closer, and I will have the help of Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and so on.
In the future, there can be a place in Xuzhou.
Zhang Han thought about it for a long time, but with a rather expectant smile on his face, he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Gan Gong, can you ...... Meet first, and when you go back, you can prepare a dowry. ”
"Naturally, Mei'er is in the inner hall, please come with me," Gan Gong led Zhang Han into the corner of the main hall, and there was a wooden couch on the inside, a woman wearing a light blue skirt, wide sleeves on the guqin, milky white cuffs, revealing half of the onion fingers, long hair hanging down in front of the shoulders, gentle and quiet.
At this time, Zhang Han woke up to the sound of the piano during the banquet that she played.
This woman's skin is like jade, shiny and shiny, her face can be said to be blown, her eyes are lowered and she does not look at Zhang Han, but when she purses her lips, shallow dimples appear, and Qiong's nose seems to have light, which is illuminated by the fire in the house, like an elegant lavender.
"The little girl Ganmei, I have seen the gentleman ......"
Gan Mei walked forward, her posture swayed, she bowed in front of Zhang Han, raised her head and glanced at it quickly, and immediately lowered her eyes after one glance, and then a trace of light red flew over her face.
Zhang Han nodded secretly, she is indeed a rare beauty, and she has a gentle temperament, proficient in music and rhythm, suitable for marrying as a wife, and taking care of his family business in Xiaopei.
"Miss Ganmei is very beautiful and has a good posture, which makes Han shocked by heaven."
Zhang Han praised politely, and now he wanted to politely ask about the price of Gan Gong.
He can understand that Gan Mei is not his own daughter, but a woman in the clan, that is to say, he belongs to the family of Xiao Peigan.
Of course, such a woman is as valuable as a city, and if she wants to marry a good wealthy family, or a potential talent, she must also have a good status, so she can be married by Gan Gong.
In the same way, this is the case in many big families, and those who may not marry out to marry are the daughters of the clan and concubines, or they can also be given a layer of identity, such as a righteous daughter, to improve their status.
After chatting with Gan Mei for a few more words, Zhang Han said goodbye to Gan Gong, left Gan Mansion, and went back to his Xiaopei Mansion.
……
After coming back tonight, Zhang Han went to the inner room to talk to Sun Qian and Mi Zhu about these things, and sighed: "It's not that I'm greedy for beauty. ”
I'm not that kind of person, I just think she's a woman, and meeting me is the best place to go.
If you follow someone else, you will inevitably have to go through the pain of being abandoned and left behind several times, so why bother?
Of course, Zhang Han didn't say these words explicitly, but just smiled: "What do you think? ”
Sun Qian arched his hand and said: "Bo Chang, the reason why Gong Cao asked you to come to Xiaopei, instead of others, is to cultivate you, so that you can absorb the talents of Xu and Yan as your confidence in the future." ”
"And now, Brother Mi and I are all attached, and the family resources can naturally help each other, and I have the favor of Gan Gong, and I am allowed to marry a famous girl, how is this bad? Bo Chang's merits and talents are worthy of it. ”
"But," Sun Gan's eyes were empty, and he said with a smile: "If you take it, you have its own responsibility, how should Bo Chang repay Cao Gong in the future, and how to choose, you should have more planning, in the next opinion, Cao Gong should not want you to take more merit for him." ”
"Oh? So what is he trying to do? ”
Zhang Han was quite surprised, but felt that Sun Qian's statement was a little strange.
Sun Qian and Mi Zhu looked at each other and smiled, and then said, "It should be the eldest prince Cao Ang." ”
"Well," Zhang Han said suddenly, "it makes sense." ”
Sun Qian has something.
No wonder my favor is comparable to that of a righteous son, it turned out that he wanted to keep me to assist his own son Cao Ang, and it makes sense to think about it, he has Xun Yu, sacrificial wine, and Mr. Zhongde by his side.
People of the same generation are by no means general, Mr. Zhongde doesn't look at him every day to second, in fact, he is secretly a resourceful and versatile old yinbi.
No wonder, I gave Cao Angsai to Dian Wei to practice martial arts before, and mixed with me a lot, which is cultivating feelings.
Boss Cao wanted me to have a friendship with Ziyu and have a close relationship with each other, because I was the same age as him, but there was an age gap of a generation between me and the rest of the advisers.
Alas, having a strategist by his side is different, even if Sun Qian is not a top strategist, he can help Zhang Han see many forms.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Han said with a smile.
The house was full of laughter, and Sun Qian and Mi Zhu were already thinking about how many dowries to give Zhang Han and how many rare and gorgeous jade treasures to find.
So Dian Wei took the wine, and several people recited poems and talked about anecdotes, and the next morning was elegant, and then they didn't go to the government office.
was so angry that Xi Zhicai faced the snowflakes of military information, songs, letters, and secret reports alone.
Uncle Zhang is often not a son of man.
……
In June, there was a great drought.
The land of Xuzhou gradually became barren, and Lu Bu did not reduce taxes, forcibly conscripted people to fill the military camp, and at the same time ordered the levy husband to be responsible for saving the land in the tuntian, and also collected grain for armaments, and controlled most of the money and grain in the territory with his power.
Solemnly waiting for the Cao army to attack.
On the other hand, in Yanzhou, due to the reserves, the land protection decree demarcated in the spring, and a series of measures, most of the land has been preserved, and there is still a harvest.
This year, Xuzhou was easy to predict the poor harvest, so people in Xuzhou were even more panicked.
At this time, there were more people from Xuzhou, and Cao Ren wrote several letters from Pengcheng to urge grain, as a buffer for Xiaopei, and the hoarded grain needed to be transported to Pengcheng as soon as possible to be resettled.
Most of the letters sent by Cao Ren during this period of time were basically asking for money, food, and even people! He wanted to go back immediately if he wanted to play, or call Zhang Bochang to Pengcheng.
If not, they will send their advisers from Juancheng to guard it together.
But on this day, there was one more news that Liu Bei had come to vote, and Xi Zhicai was quite strange, and immediately replied to Juancheng.
Let Cao Cao personally come to Pengcheng to meet this Liu Xuande, who had some friendship with him.
In just seven days, Cao Cao personally led his guards to go straight to Pengcheng, which shows his surprise and joy, Cao Cao has been hungry for Liu Bei for a long time!
To be exact, he has been greedy for Liu Bei's second brother for many years!!
However, when passing by Xiaopei, he turned around and came to see Zhang Han.
