Chapter 211 Extravagant Hope
When his grandfather came here, many tribes here had no marriages, let alone families. The whole tribe lived together, and men and women would have sex when they met each other. After the child was born, they only knew that there were mothers but not fathers. They could not weave cloths or make clothes. His grandfather never got tired of it and sent them to teach these tribes little by little, so that they could have the methods of marriage and funerals, families, and names.
It was from that time that their Cuan family became the most respected family in the local area by these barbarians, and their reputation was unparalleled. It was also from then on that time that no matter who comes here to be an official in the future, they had to rely on the Cuan family.
In Jianning County, what the Cuan family said was much better than what the prefect magistrate said.
Since childhood, Cuan Chen studied and lived according to the family ancestral teachings, and was loyal, filial, trustworthy, righteous, kind, fraternal, and people-oriented. Therefore, when Li Yi, the captain of the Nanyi school, decided to send people to Yizhou to help Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, quell the refugee rebellion, Cuan Chen joined the team without hesitation.
He wanted to go to Yizhou since he was a child, and even went to Shangluo to see where his ancestors lived before, and how prosperous and noble the Celestial Kingdom in the book were written.
However, everything that happened after CD made him deeply disappointed.
Be honest and be regarded as a fool.
Being principled and being scolded as being careless.
Even after his Japanese army was defeated, his experience in the past few days was even more heartbroken.
These days, they didn't dare to walk on the official road at all, and they would go wherever they were remote. Because there were officials blocking the road and arresting them, the deserters.
Lao Liu was caught once, but escaped at night. According to his words, those who were captured were not sent back to the CD military camp at all. Many people were given to those wealthy families, some built forts for them, and some caught them to mine and smelting iron in Tieshan.
Cuan Chen felt even more chill after hearing this.
What happened to the people in Shu?
What's wrong with those big players?
He refused to attack the refugees, but he was very active in doing this.
But the more this happens, the less he is willing to give up his persistence.
Even if it is dark, I will move forward alone with the fire.
He woke Xin Wan and helped Xin Wan, who was frightened and scared, to her maroon horse. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and said to Brother Shen Lao Liu and others with a sincere look: "The way is different and we don't plan for each other. Let's leave today. My name is Cuan Chen. If you come to Jianning one day, you can come to Wei County to find me."
Cao Jian, a servant from Cao, a household in Wudao County, has been in pain and happiness these days.
The pain was that Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, summoned people from all counties to CD. According to the latest orders of Luo Shang, all counties and counties along the Pishui River must build defense sieges, so as not to allow refugees to have any gaps to cross the river. The state overwhelmed the county and the county pushed the task to each county. Every officer in each county was busy these days. Some were responsible for convening people to cut down trees, some were responsible for levying taxes to each family, and some even went directly to some homes to catch people to serve. For a while, complaints were heard everywhere.
Cao Jian has always been very popular with the county magistrate Zhang Meng. In Zhang Meng's eyes, Cao Jian is the most sensible and eye-catching subordinate. Every time there are many things he wants to do but cannot say, Cao Jian will be the first to stand up to help him and ask him to do it. Even every day, so many subordinates under him have done something privately and said something, Cao Jian will report it to Zhang Meng endlessly. This makes Zhang Meng sigh that he has become an official in three places, and no subordinate has been as loyal to him as Cao Jian.
Cao Jian's home is on the opposite side of the Sanjiangkou. The town of Jadao County is at the Sanchakou where the Sanjiang River converges, just like a huge character "人". Jadao County is just below the character "人", and Cao Jian's family is on the right side of the character "人", so you have to pass the Jinsha River. The Zhouxing Jadao Hou Kingdom set off from Jadao County and headed south along the Jinsha River, which was his fiefdom.
The Cao Jian family is also a big family in Jadao County. In terms of strength, it is only located under the Gongsun family. His family and the Gongsun family are on the right side of the character "ren", and there are the most arable land and the most spiritual fields in Jadao County. However, Cao Jian had no status in the Cao family. Although he had spiritual veins, he was a polite child, a polite child of a small clan. He had been subjected to cold eyes and bullying since childhood and had developed a skill to observe his face. In the eyes of the patriarch of the Cao family, he said.
Cao Jian was the most hardworking person among the family's children and the one who is the best at considering the interests of the family. Therefore, he opposed the opposition and sent Cao Jian to the Qiao family in Shu County to listen to a course for a year. After returning, when the then County Magistrate of the Lord of the Lord was recruiting subordinates from their family, he strongly recommended Cao Jian, a concubine's son. Cao Jian did not disappoint the expectations of their patriarch. Both county magistrates praised Cao Jian very much.
Over the years, Cao Jian's status in the family has become higher and higher, and his life has become more and more relaxed. He married a beautiful lady, and one of his three children is a cultivator with three spiritual veins. For him, a cultivator with only one spiritual vein, and even for the Cao family, the talents of the three spiritual veins are rare in their family's past dynasties.
He secretly vowed to do his best to train his son with great talent into the highest-ranking monk in the history of the Cao family. Fifth or fourth grade? What a glory it should be!
But how difficult it is to cultivate a monk!
The ancestors of the Cao family were not as rich as Li Xiang, nor as rich as the ancestors of the Gongsun family, nor even as rich as the ancestors of the Jian Lan family, at least they had a profound martial art and had the cultivation experience passed down from generation to generation. As they traced back, the highest-grade monks that had been produced were only a seventh-grade monk. According to their family genealogy, their family was the first batch of villages that migrated from Jingzhou when Emperor Wu of Shang and Shang opened the Five-Foot Road. It was the most common village.
The cultivation formulas circulated in the family are unknown, and no one in his family understands theories. But he has gained some experience in the past dynasties, groping little by little, and accumulating little by little. Today, the Cao family actually has five monks. Although the grade is not high, it is at least a family with five monks. Several of the big families in the Taoist Dao are like the Cao family. They are descendants of the village households who moved from Jingzhou to protect the Da Shang Dynasty to protect the five-foot road.
The place was deserted back then. The local people were very afraid of the great merchants who were at the peak of their lives, and allowed their households to slowly occupy the best arable land and spiritual fields. His family made such a fortune, and the Huang Yuan and his family there were the same. Whenever they talked about this history, they would be glad that their ancestors traveled thousands of miles to the most border area of the empire, to explore the land for the empire, and from then on they had a spiritual field that allowed their descendants to benefit endlessly. And as their civilians back then, they would never have a spiritual field in their hometown.
However, with the increasing population and the increasing number of children with spiritual veins, the Ling Valley produced in the family is obviously not enough for so many people to use. This in turn inspired Cao Jian to work harder.
He is just a ninth-grade cultivator, and it is probably the case in his life. But he is absolutely unwilling to let his son, who has three spiritual veins, wasted his life only at the ninth-grade eighth-grade level.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, if you want to become a county magistrate and magistrate in charge of the country, you must at least be a sixth-rank monk. This is the hard standard of the Great Jin Dynasty. If you want to become a county magistrate, you must at least be a fifth-rank monk. If you want to become a governor of a state, you must at least be a fourth-rank monk.
Cao Jian set his goal for himself was to train his son to at least become a sixth-grade monk. If his son can really get what he wants to become a powerful county magistrate in the future, then he will be the first county magistrate and the first official that their ancestors of the Cao family have produced!
What a glory that is!
If he wants to train his son into a talent, it is not enough to rely solely on the little spiritual valley and his salary allocated to him by their family.
So, when he took over this cross-river and checked the errands of everyone coming and going, he was very happy.
Everything is easy to say, nothing is hard to say.
As long as you give this Lord Cao money, you are a deserter and not a deserter.
But if you don't pay, I'm sorry, you have been here many times and they are all captured as deserters.
On this day, he was still half lying leisurely in the pavilion by the river. Suddenly, a soldier under his command ran over panting and said anxiously: "Sir, you're not doing well, the fight on the riverside is starting."
When Cao Jian heard this, he stood up and shouted sternly: "Who is the one who dared to beat the official? Will he rebel?"
"One man and one woman." The soldier responded: "The man was dressed in a ragged state, holding a long sword and a bow arrow in his hand, and he looked like a deserter. The woman looked like a rich lady."
When Cao Jian heard that there were only two people, he felt relieved. He picked up his long sword and said, "Let's go and take me to see. I want to see what these two people look like? A deserter dares to beat an official? Do you really think that his neck is harder than a steel knife?"
The man and the woman who were causing trouble by the river were naturally Cuan Chen and Xin Wan.
When Cuan Chen came, he was walking on the road in Yuewei County, but when he returned, he had to walk on the five-foot road on the road. Xin Wan passed the changes on the road and had long lost the passion and ignorant momentum when she ran away from home. After being rescued by Cuan Chen from Brother Shen, she suddenly matured. She began to think about many issues that she would not have considered before.
Changes and hardships are the ones that can best promote a person's growth.
Go and look for Joden?
Qiao Deng has already married, and if he has the right to stay there, he is willing to be a concubine? The key is, even if he is willing, is he willing? Is his wife willing? I am afraid that they will send someone to send him back to Xin's house.
So, should we tell Jorden about his father's shameful things in secret?
Once these things are exposed, let alone his father, the entire Xin family will collapse. So what will happen to him, a weak woman? Then, don’t be someone else’s wife, I’m afraid that she wants to be someone else’s concubine, and they still dislike their identity.
When she thought of the scene where Brother Shen, Lao Liu and others captured her at that time, she was chilling. If it weren't for Cuan Chen, she knew what kind of experience she would have encountered.
Life is not just about the distance and poetry, but more importantly about life is about the present and the miserable.
If you can't grasp the present, how can you talk about grasping the future?
Those who can talk about distance and poetry at any time are those who live a worry-free life.
Confused and helpless, she was confused and helpless when Cuan Chen said she was about to pass by the Path, she remembered that Wang Tianyun and Zhou Xing on the Path. She didn't dare to think about what would happen after she met Wang Tianyun and Zhou Xing when she arrived at the Path. She just didn't want to wander alone. Even if Wang Tianyun sent her back to Xin's house, she thought she would recognize her.
The reality is so cold, and the family is so sheltered from the wind and rain. Even if the things her father and her brother did are not authentic, she no longer wants to think about those things.
In just a few short days, this little girl who used to live a worry-free life and likes reading and fantasy the most on weekdays has grown up. She suddenly realized that she used to be a little girl who didn't know how to be willful and joking.
For Cuan Chen, although she was not particularly tall but also had thick eyebrows and big eyes, she didn't know what she felt. She was very dependent on him along the way, but she didn't feel like a deer jumping around when facing Qiao Deng. Along the way, she listened to him talking about the customs in Ningzhou, the mountains and rivers over there, the people over there, the endless Dian Lake, and the snow-capped snow-capped mountains.
There are actually snow mountains in the south of Yizhou? Shouldn’t it be very hot in the south?
Xin Wan was very curious, but she knew it must be beautiful there.
Along the way, she learned how the Cuan family was in Ningzhou. This surprised her and also made her look at Cuan Chen, who was now dressed in ragged clothes.
Cuan Chen is the eldest grandson of the Cun family. A person with such a status actually joined the army without hesitation to help Yizhou to suppress rebellion and refugees, but ended up like this.
At the same time, she thought of her father and brother. She thought, if Cuan Chen knew about this, would even hate her? The five thousand men from Ningzhou were completely collapsed that night, fleeing and dying. Whenever Cuan Chen mentioned this, he would be heartbroken and even cursed. He scolded Luo Shang and scolded him for blind commanding, so that the five thousand righteous men in Ningzhou would die before they could even perform.
According to Cuan Chen, after he returned to Ningzhou, he would not join the army and come to Yizhou again after being beaten to death. There was no good person on the CD side, and they were all a group of cheating goods.
Because of this, Xin Wan had already thought about following Cuan Chen, and after hearing this, she also gave up her idea.
Let Wang Tianyun send someone to send him home, and then go to Jingzhou with his family. I am afraid that this is the case. It’s ridiculous that I was still more aware of myself than the sky before, but it turned out that my life was thinner than paper. If I could marry a husband who was not bad in the future and live a peaceful life with my husband and children, I was afraid it would be a luxury.
