Chapter 32: to Qiao County

Qiao County, Peiguo, may not be conspicuous in later generations, and many people have not even heard of its name. But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the seat of Yuzhou. By analogy, the administrative status is slightly higher than that of provincial capitals. Because there were only thirteen states in the Eastern Han Dynasty, far less than the number of later provinces.

The prefecture of Yuzhou is in charge of Yingchuan County and Runan County, two rich and large counties. Therefore, it is conceivable why Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a strong relationship, Yuan Shao is from Runan. It is not difficult to understand that the Xun family, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai worked hard for Boss Cao. They are from Yingchuan. Because the imperial examination was not yet popular, compared with the popular teachers and students, the same school, and the same year, the geographical relationship was the most important natural relationship in the Eastern Han society other than blood. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and the Xun family were all fellow villagers from the same prefecture, so they would naturally be closer.

Of course, as an outsider, Ah Sheng knows nothing about the above. The biggest emotion that Ah Sheng can send is: Qiao County is broken. The city wall was built fairly solidly, but the street planning and infrastructure construction were really like slag. She used to live in Luoyang, the capital of the country, so she had a big misunderstanding of the city of this era. It is only when we arrive in Qiao County that we recognize the reality: the road is full of potholes, and when you ride a horse, it is a stream of yellow sand in the air; there are no public toilets, and the slums stink into the sky, as if a plague will break out at any time; Starved corpses left unattended for three days...

Under this premise, it is understandable that the Cao family lives outside the outer city walls.

A large river called the Wo River runs diagonally down through the northeast of Qiao County, becoming the outermost barrier of the city. The old residence of the Cao family and the ancestral tomb of the Cao family are both located between the vortex river and the outer city wall, surrounded by large fertile fields belonging to the Cao family. Because of the rampage of refugees in recent years, high walls have been built around the complex, like a small fortress. This is the favorite Wubao of the wealthy people of the Eastern Han Dynasty, where tribes, clansmen, and guests gather, and they can be self-sufficient in drinking water, crops, and meat.

The Cao family guards the tomb here.

Every day, you can climb up to see Cao Teng's tomb a few hundred meters away. If the angle of view is slightly deflected, you can see the vortex river and farmland, and another turn is the city wall of Qiao County in the distance.

Since the arrival of Fuling's large troops in early March, the old lady Wu ordered to close the door to thank guests. It was not until the end of September when the north wind began to rise, and the door of the Cao family's old house slowly opened, and it welcomed the emperor's messenger.

The person who came was an eunuch.

But she is no longer the **** the Wu family knew. After Liang Ji's fall from power, the palace was inevitably cleaned again, and a new generation replaced the old. This **** surnamed Zhang was very arrogant. He took Fei Tinghou's official seal directly in front of Cao Teng's spiritual position, and the dogs behind him swarmed up to **** Fei Tinghou's guard of honor and the so-called "over-made items". The Cao family is no longer a marquis, so many things are naturally unusable and have to be handed over to the court, which is what it should be. But according to their posture, it is almost like to grab something valuable when they see it.

Fortunately, in the name of filial piety, the Wu family buried most of the gold and silver in the ground, and everything used on the bright side was as simple as possible. Otherwise, let these "locusts" search again, the Cao family will really be hurt.

"The big Changqiu, hee hee, and the little Tinghou are nothing special. Shabby, really shabby. Being an **** should be in line with Wuhou, that's called style! Master Shan is a charioteer. General, you are better than the third prince!"

This little Huangmen walked away triumphantly with the spoils, leaving the Cao family full of chicken feathers. Even the white linen hanging from the lintel has fallen off at one end.

Cao Song was pale and sweaty on his back. The news of Liang Ji's downfall was too shocking. He had just realized that if his adoptive father had not died six months ago, the whole family would have been involved. Now except for the fear of not being able to get up and getting angry.

Hu shivered with anger: "It's too much deceiving! Too much deceiving! Lang Jun and A's family will let them fool around. What's the face?!"

Cao Song was also saddened by what she said, and couldn't help crying: "Father! Father, please open your eyes and see us! The general has fallen? Is my family really going to become a commoner? ?" He cried to Hu's family again: "You are unlucky, you will suffer with me just a year after entering the door." The brothers and servants of the Cao family were infected and also cried "woohoo".

Hu shi bit her lip, straightened her back, and said loudly, "Lang Jun, I was much poorer before I got married than I am now. Now that I still have land and property, why do I endure hardship?!"

Wu's eyebrows raised when she heard the words, which was unexpected: "Ahu, please bring someone to clean up the house. Then send someone to Ding's house and Xiahou's house to deliver the letter, and when the angel leaves Yuzhou, We'll open the door and lift the ban."

Hus rolled up the cuffs of the linen mourning clothes and took people to work in person.

The presence of the old **** of Wu made the children and nephews very puzzled. "Mother (four aunts)?"

"It's nothing but humiliation. If you have done things in the palace like Ji Xing and I did, you should know that this is already a good thing, at least one life has been saved. Okay? Really bad?"

Cao Song was stunned for a while, her red eyes filled with Wu Shi's indifferent expression. Yes, don't their generation just want to get rid of the reputation after the eunuch?

Cao Song thought of it, and naturally Cao Chi, Cao Yin, Cao Yu, Cao Kun and others also thought of it. One by one they all calmed down. "Been taught a lesson."

"Cao Chi, Cao Yin, you two, since the dust has settled, go home."

The faces of the two young uncles turned blue and white. They seemed to want to stay, but in the end they bowed three times to Wu: "Apologize to the fourth aunt, and thank the fourth aunt for taking her in."

"Go."

Cao Kun's wife Meng Shi didn't wait for them to walk out of the main courtyard, she snorted coldly: "The two of them are just like their father, they are also ungrateful. With the light of the fourth uncle, once there is trouble , and ran away. Bah, what the hell!"

Cao Chi and Cao Yin's father Cao Bao, although Cao Teng's third brother, was very close to the anti-Liang scholars, and now he is still sitting firmly in Yingchuan in the position of the prefect. The third room of Cao's family had a deadlock with the second room and the fourth room of the big room because of the faction. Although there was no apparent break, the family moved to Yingchuan. When Cao Teng died, Cao Bao didn't even show a face, and was busy pushing the Liang Party's broken wall.

It is no wonder that Meng Shi wanted to scold him behind his back.

At the beginning, when Liang Ji was strong, they hid in Cao Song's house; when Liang Ji was finished, they ran back to their house. "It's too ugly to eat!"

Wu's frowned and stopped her: "Don't say a word, I asked them to go back. It's all the Cao family, and it's our luck that the third brother can still stand."

"The fourth aunt, will the third uncle really help us? Don't trust the wrong person. Anyway, my husband is a professional, but brother Song and brother Yu can rely on in the future, ha, then The third uncle has been promoted."

The fight between the various rooms of the big family made Ah Sheng's brain hurt. She didn't want to pay attention to these relatives anymore, and sat on the straw mat for filial piety, with her eyes open and dozing off.

Cao Cao looked at her amusingly, pulled out half of the straw from the straw mat and tickled her palm.

A Sheng woke up with a shock, and the movement he made attracted Wu's attention. She stared: "Why are you two still here? Go back to the backyard! Take care of the group of people in the nursery hall and don't let them cause trouble."

A Sheng couldn't get what he wanted, so he bowed down and said: "Retire!"

Run out of the main courtyard where chickens fly and dogs dance, breathe the cool autumn air, Ah Sheng is jumping on the soil. Cao Cao, who came out shortly after, expressed his thoughts to her: "I like Fifth Uncle quite a bit, but I never thought about it but left me and left."

The fifth uncle refers to Cao Chi.

"The fifth uncle said he wanted to teach me archery."

A Sheng walked in the direction of the nursery hall and waved his hand: "I don't think it's easy for the previous generation."

"Not easy?"

"The two uncles of the third house are obviously at odds with their father's political views, and their father is also indifferent to them, but why did my grandfather warn them on his deathbed to prevent them from being involved in this **** coup?"

"Hmm."

"And they treated us both a little better. Not even in the eyeballs."

Cao Cao tore off a dog's tail grass from the corner and shook it in his hand. "Uncle Fifth and Sixth have not married yet, so children should be rare."

"The uncle and the third uncle also have children." Ah Sheng rubbed her brows. She actually had a guess, but without any evidence, thinking too much would only add to her troubles.

If you don't have any of these in the family, it's better to go and see the children in the nursery.

Women's Medical Hall is still in Luoyang, canceled the high-profile lectures, and instead mobilized working women to publicize correct fertility knowledge, and also did some free delivery work. However, the nursery hall had to be moved. She was going to start teaching when her grandfather passed the anniversary. The basic teaching of kindergarten is over, and it is time for orphans to go to primary school. In fact, under the arrangement of Ah Sheng, children over the age of nine have secretly recognized characters and memorized multiplication formulas.

The transfer is a big project. The children leave in batches, requiring both the care of the maid and the guards of the hospital. After four months of walking, the transfer of the people is completed. At the same time, Liu's chickens were also relocated. According to Ah Sheng's feeding rules, millet porridge is nothing, an egg a day can kill you. What can be done? Only the chickens can walk with the children, as many children as there are chickens. Fortunately, there were no famines in Sili and Yuzhou this year, otherwise these chickens would definitely not be able to reach Qiao County. Not only is the problem of feed difficult to solve, but also the desperately hungry refugees come to **** and steal chickens.

Because of their transfer, Ah Sheng was heartbroken, but fortunately her grandfather left her a manpower, which made things a lot easier. When the girl Ashi Tijian appeared in front of her and said with a straight face, "The chicken farm lost 10% of the total loss in this transfer", Ah Sheng was pleasantly surprised.

Not only was she pleasantly surprised by the small amount of loss, but also because Liu's mathematics was completely able to describe the problem in terms of percentages.

Liu is the children's new math teacher, so happily decided. As for the work on the chicken farm, let the steady Ah Hong take over.
