The hall became quiet, and the winter chill invaded through the open door. The sound of the wind rising and falling could also be heard, as if it was some kind of metaphorical sound.
Cao Shuang suddenly spoke again: "Zhongming is different from other scholars. You are willing to be conquered by me, and I also want you to be used by the country. No matter whether you serve in the general's palace or not."
Qin Liang did not respond immediately. He thought for a moment and then said cautiously: "I feel grateful for the kindness of the general."
Cao Shuang nodded and said, "Please go back to the official office."
Qin Liang stood up from his seat, bowed on the spot, and stayed for a while before saying: "Please excuse me, servant." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he suddenly heard Cao Shuang again.
The sound is "right".
Qin Liang turned around and looked up at his superior again. Cao Shuang said, "Zhongming will go back and make preparations. You can follow Sun Deda (Sun Li) to Yangzhou. You can also leave after the new year."
"Here." Qin Liang was stunned for a moment before responding.
The last few words in the hall just now made Qin Liang a little surprised. He had already talked about other things well, but Cao Shuang suddenly said that he could go to Yangzhou? Qin Liang walked down the stone steps and then slowly turned back.
Taste comes.
Why would Cao Shuang say those words of reminder for no reason?
Qin Liang estimated that there was some discord between Sun Li and Cao Shuang. Although they did not completely fall out, Cao Shuang seemed unhappy. So Cao Shuang might be reminding and beating Qin Liang: You are different from other scholars, and you are not like Sun Li.
Fabi, you must be aware of your origin and identity. No one will accept your betrayal of me.
Qin Liang did not need to be reminded by Cao Shuang, but he had to admit that this was a cruel fact. In the beginning, he could only be an official by relying on Cao Shuang. It is not an exaggeration to say that he had the kindness of knowing and meeting. It was not easy for people like Qin Liang to rely on the nobles.
After a while, Qin Liang also had a guess as to why Cao Shuang suddenly took the initiative to ask for advice today.
I guess Cao Shuang was a little confused. He didn't pay much attention to Qin Liang. Why would Sun Li specifically ask him for someone? Maybe Qin Liang had something special about him? So he couldn't bear to ask for advice here.
It's a pity that Qin Liang didn't guess in advance that Cao Shuang wanted to ask for advice for this purpose! If he had known earlier, he might as well have made his words more clear just now, so that he wouldn't have to be too vague.
Well now, it seems that Cao Shuang didn't understand the suggestion at all, which was equivalent to talking nonsense.
"Alas!" Qin Liang couldn't help but sigh softly. Sometimes the progress of the relationship between people is often determined by the depth of fate only in seemingly calm moments. If you miss it, you will miss it, and it will be difficult to find it again.
Back to that fleeting opportunity.
Cao Shuang, although he is now extremely powerful and popular, he does not look like a master. Qin Liang has never disliked him. Sometimes he even felt that there was a bit of frankness and cuteness in his fat body, but he did not dare to treat him too much.
So much hope is pinned on him.
Qin Liang had no choice but to pick up and bind his identity. With Cao Shuang's official status, but no strength and reputation, wouldn't he just be a grasshopper after autumn? Now Qin Liang doesn't want to think too much, he just wants to find it first
Opportunities give yourself greater weight, and then the path will be wider and you will have more choices. This is indeed the only useful calculation.
Gradually, Qin Liang's mood began to change, because being released was what he wanted.
Only then did he realize that the snow outside the corridor had already stopped.
After the snow stopped, the sun showed its face. Reflected by the thin white snow, the light between the sky and the earth was very bright at this moment, as if it was brighter than a sunny day in summer. When the sun came out, the temperature was still not high, so the snow was not there yet.
It has time to melt, and there is not so much mud on the ground, so the scenery looks very clear.
Qin Liang let out a long breath, and the depression in his heart suddenly seemed to be relieved a lot.
The place of Luoyang is not suitable for him now. He is running into obstacles everywhere and his mood is extremely dull. Although there is still no improvement, Qin Liang thinks that he can leave here soon, and in an instant, he has a feeling of being as high as the sky and letting the birds fly.
.
Qin Liang walked briskly. He first returned to his office, and then packed up his personal belongings and some useful documents. At this moment, he seemed to remember the scene in his previous life when he packed up and left when he resigned from the company. But the difference was that
, this time I am not fired, I don’t have to worry about losing my job, I have no debts, I just feel relaxed.
He called a clerk to move things, and when he walked out of the office, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. The chilly air gave people the illusion of being fresher.
Wang Kang, who was waiting outside the gatehouse, came up to get something. Seeing this scene, Wang Kang didn't say a word, but his expression was a bit complicated.
Qin Liang glanced at him and said, "I won't be the general's military adviser anymore, but I will have a new job, a job in Yangzhou."
Wang Kang asked curiously: "What new official position did Lord Qin get?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'll come to the General's Mansion tomorrow." Qin Liang stepped onto the carriage from the back, half-lying on it and making a comfortable posture. He then moved forward and said to the bamboo strip barrier.
, "Qing, Rao Dashan and three other people are going south with me, and I will find someone else to take care of the manor on the south bank of the Luo River. I will recommend someone to meet me soon."
Wang Kang waved his riding crop and responded: "Here."
The courtyard given by the General's Office in Luoyang, more than 200 acres of land, is private property and has not been recorded as public property. It should not be taken back due to resignation. Mainly, the more than 200 acres of land and the attached farmers can still
If Qin Liang doesn't want some of the output, someone will soon take over.
Rao Dashan and Wang Kang are both villagers from their hometown in Pingyuan County. The two families have been struggling to make a living in the Qin family manor for many years. They have no problem with their backgrounds and can be regarded as trustworthy people. Of course, Qin Liang will not let them stay in Luoyang to take care of the place.
It's not worth the money at all.
Just find someone at random. No matter whether the temporarily appointed banker is greedy or not, he will always have some left over.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Kang brought home a young and strong man. Qin Liang took a look at the interview at Shangfang and saw that this man had a narrow forehead and a big chin, and at least he was quite strong. It was winter, so he took
The sheepskin bound by hemp ropes could not completely cover the body. The rough skin around the collarbone was still exposed, and the chest muscles were vaguely visible.
Qin Liang asked: "Are you literate?"
The strong man said: "The word Douda can only recognize two baskets."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "That's one, two, three. What's it called?"
The strong man said: "Some people call me Ah Huang, and some people call me Gouzi. My surname is Huang."
Qin Liang thought to himself that since it's called a pastoral dog, wouldn't it be easy? He immediately said: "I'll give you a name that's a little more popular, just call it Huang Yuan, as far as it goes. It's up to you, and you'll be in charge of the farmland from now on."
Things, when I come back, I will report everything, expenses, harvest, etc. must be explained clearly. Remember not to be too harsh on the peasants."
The strong man bowed and said, "I will take care of Mr. Qin's affairs."
Qin Liang waved his hand and said: "Go."
Then Qin Liang glanced at Rao Dashan and said casually: "As we happened to talk about this, I will also give Dashan a name. You will be named Chong from now on. Dashan is used to being called people, so you can make a calligraphy."
Rao Dashan smiled and said: "I still have words, so I am not a refined person?"
Wang Kang said from the side: "This is not a word, it is a future."
Rao Dashan stopped laughing immediately, but Qin Liang smiled, thinking: People who are literate are more knowledgeable.
