"Ding ding ding..." The raindrops as big as peas hit the tiles, making a crisp sound. It rained early in the morning.
After a while, the rain started to fall harder and harder, and water formed on the edge of the tiles. No wonder it felt very hot and muggy yesterday. It is indeed easy to rain heavily in this kind of weather.
However, the heavy rain gives people a very sharp feeling, and it comes and goes suddenly, which is quite pleasant.
Qin Liang also felt very happy, because his position as governor seemed to be stable!
When meeting Cao Shuang in the Dudu Mansion, Cao Shuang listened to Qin Liang's story and said something like this: "Fei Yi is a general of the Shu Han Dynasty and is very famous. Zhongming made Fei Yi suffer, and now he will be famous all over the world."
Yes. Zhongming has a sincere, loyal and courageous heart. When he returns to Beijing, the imperial court will discuss his merits and reward him."
Cao Shuang's attitude is very important, as it shows that he recognizes Qin Liang's contribution. As long as the Sima family keeps its promise, no one will object to the appointment of the prefect as general.
Moreover, Wang Guang once said that he wanted his father to say something to Qin Liang. In addition, although Empress Dowager Guo had little power in the court, a few words were still somewhat useful.
With the situation like this, Qin Liang felt that his expectations were very stable and he was unlikely to be disappointed again.
In the front hall of the palace, Deng Yang was also present. Deng Yang seemed unhappy with Qin Liang, but he didn't say much today. Obviously, Cao Shuang's statement just now has already been concluded in the circles of the General's Mansion, and was not just a casual comment.
Qin Liang did not mention the water shortage problem on the Tangluo Road, and it would be of no use if he did. Deng Yang's strategy was more than just not paying attention to the water source of the Tangluo Road. It can be said that the whole strategy was a complete mess!
In this battle, countless mules, horses, donkeys and cattle were killed, and the people and troops of Yongliang were reduced. Of course, no one was responsible for the failure. Seeing that Deng Yang and Li Sheng were both fine, they were still guests of Cao Shuang.
Maybe these two people can make some contributions when they go back. After all, even Sima Zhao has military exploits.
I heard that the situation was like this: After the Wei army retreated, many people gathered in Huayangji, where the terrain was relatively open, waiting to retreat one by one. The Shu army followed and launched an attack on the camp at night. Sima Zhao woke up from his sleep and
He sat there in confusion for a while. There was a bit of chaos outside and he didn't even get out of the tent... Then the military merit fell from the sky and forcibly confused his face!
Someone immediately wrote a letter the next day, praising Sima Zhao for sitting in the army, standing still and strategizing, so that the Shu army failed to attack the camp.
Qin Liang was too lazy to care about so many things. What happened to others was the virtue accumulated by others. Qin Liang only wanted his own share of rewards. If the prefect added the title of general, he would be satisfied.
I can only be satisfied. This is the ceiling for a person like Qin Liang in the officialdom. As for governors and governors at the state level, don't even think about it.
There were only three types of governors and governors in the Wei Dynasty. The first was Cao Shuang's inner circle; the second was Sima Yi's inner circle; and the last was those who were governors and governors before Cao Fang ascended the throne. Guo Huai was
This kind of thing. Cao Shuang and Sima Yi don't want to move, they just want to win over.
As for military merits that are not that important, no matter how much merit you have, you cannot give it to a state. If the merit is too great and cannot be carried, then just kill it directly.
It's very simple. Cao Shuang and Sima Yi have the final say on key personnel matters. They themselves are fighting for the military power of each state. If it is given to outsiders, what good will it do to them?
Fortunately, Qin Liang had known these things for a long time, so his expectations were very realistic.
When bidding farewell to Cao Shuang, Qin Liang claimed that he was going back to the school affairs office to handle official business and that he would please return to Luoyang first.
Qin Liang returned to the Governor's Mansion and wanted to say goodbye. His maternal aunt stayed with him again and said it would be better to wait until early tomorrow morning when the rain stopped before setting off.
Guo Huai also came at noon. After lunch, Guo Huai drank tea and chatted a little more.
Guo Huaizheng said: "Wang Gongyuan once mentioned in a letter that Zhong Ming was good at music. Unfortunately, we met this time and were busy with official business, so we didn't hear about him."
His tone became kinder and kinder, and his official authority became a little less obvious.
This reminded Qin Liang of when he was at Xingshi Mountain, when Cao Shuang summoned Qin Liang to discuss matters. Guo Huai saw him off, and his attitude at that time was almost the same as now.
Last time Guo Huai was afraid that Qin Liang would talk nonsense. This time Qin Liang wanted to go back to Luoyang, and it seemed that Guo Huai had the same intention. As expected, Guo Huai was mainly worried that Qin Liang would say bad things in the Wang family.
Qin Liang said: "My uncle has kind words. My uncle is really proficient in music, but I only know a little bit about it."
Suddenly Qin Liang felt that Guo Huai's requirements for him were not high: just shut up and stop talking nonsense.
Grandma Wang's voice said: "Gongyuan has been fond of playing the harp, playing the piano, and playing poems since he was a child. No wonder he and Zhongming got along well."
Qin Liang looked at Wang, and then realized that Wang seemed to be about the same age as Wang Gongyuan, no more than two years older.
Wang added: "Zhong Ming is known as the Confucian Tiger because it came from his second brother."
Qin Liang said: "My uncle's family really treats their servants very well."
Grandma told Qin Liang some things about the Wang family. When Guo Huai saw this, he stood up and said, "I have to go to the front hall to do some errands. Zhongming has nothing to do in Chang'an, so he will talk to your aunt more."
When Wang heard this, he said nothing.
Qin Liang said casually: "Early tomorrow morning, I will set off back to Luoyang. I don't know when I will be back next time. I am in Chang'an this time. Thank you to my grandaunt for taking good care of me."
"What does this trivial matter mean among relatives?" Guo Huai turned to look at Mr. Wang again, "Take Zhong Ming to sit in the attic."
Qin Liang was startled when he heard this, and quickly looked at each other with Wang. Both of them immediately avoided their eyes. Wang's voice said: "You still have to climb the stairs, and it's the same as talking here."
Guo Huai waved his robe sleeves and said disapprovingly: "The scenery upstairs is nice and quieter."
"That's alright." Mrs. Wang also stood up from the banquet, "I'll take you up to the attic to have a look."
So when Qin Liang bowed to Guo Huai, he observed Guo Huai casually. Guo Huai obviously still cared about it and wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Wang family.
However, he may never have dreamed that there is any other relationship. After all, the Wang family is two generations apart, and the age gap is not small. Moreover, this is the first time Qin Liang has come to Chang'an Guo's house, and he has never known his grandmother before, so soon
Not even familiar.
Mrs. Wang also saluted Guo Huai, and Guo Huai glanced at her. Mrs. Wang nodded and said softly: "I understand."
The two of them went up the stairs one after another. There were windows on all sides of the attic. Wang asked Qin Liang to take a seat in front of a table. Wang didn't say much, but just looked at each other in silence.
Yesterday she lost control of her emotions, but was declined. She seemed to feel a little embarrassed at this time.
Qin Liang took the initiative to get closer and smelled the faint fragrance of her body. The fragrance of flowers was mixed with the smell of spices. Wang raised her eyes and looked at Qin Liang. Her eyes were like pools of water, and her mood seemed to be very complicated. The eyes of the two people
If they were still away, there was no physical contact, her breathing was getting heavier, and she quickly turned her head and glanced at a small door next to her.
Qin Liang understood, and he and Wang stood up silently, walked into the hut, and bolted the door. Qin Liang remembered what Wang said yesterday, "Zhong Ming didn't see it before." There happened to be no banquet in the hut.
But there was a wooden cabinet, so he whispered to Wang to go to the wooden cabinet. Wang's upper body lay down gently and breathed out gently. Although the doors and windows of the cabin were closed, the light during the day was still very bright, and her
A blush gradually appeared on her cheeks. This was originally the time for conversation. Although Wang opened her mouth, she hardly spoke. There were some nail marks left on the edge of the cabinet. If anyone saw it carefully, they would probably be curious about how they got there.

Qin Liang didn't stay much in the afternoon and returned to the courtyard next to the mansion to rest. After staying for one more night, he was ready to set off eastward tomorrow morning.
