When his great-great-grandfather came here, many tribes here did not have any marriages, let alone families. The whole tribe lived together, and men and women would have sex as long as they saw each other. After the child was born, he only knew that he had a mother.
I know that I have a father who can't weave or make clothes. His great-great-grandfather took the trouble to send people to teach these tribes little by little, so that they could have weddings and funerals, have families, and have names.
It was from then on that the Cuan family became the most respected family in the local area, with an unparalleled reputation. It was also from that time on that no matter who came to be an official in the future, they would have to rely on the members of the Cuan family.
.
In Jianning County, the words of the Cuan family were much more effective than those of the prefecture and county magistrate.
From a young age, Cuan Chen learned to live according to his family's ancestral precepts, which include loyalty, filial piety, trust, righteousness, kindness, fraternity, and putting people first. So when Nanyi Colonel Li Yi decided to send troops to Yizhou to help Yizhou Governor Luo Shang put down the refugee rebellion.
At that time, Cuan Chen joined the team without hesitation.
He had wanted to visit Yizhou since he was a child, and even wanted to visit Shangluo, to see where his ancestors lived before, and to see how prosperous and noble the heavenly kingdoms written in the books were.
However, everything that happened after getting the CD made him deeply disappointed.
Be honest and be treated as a fool.
If you stick to principles, you will be criticized as being short-sighted.
Even after his army was defeated that day, his experiences in the past few days were even more heartbreaking.
In the past few days, they didn't dare to take the official road at all, and they would go wherever there was a remote place. Because there were officials everywhere on the official road blocking the road to catch deserters like them.
The sixth man was caught once, but escaped at night. According to what he said, those who were captured were not sent back to the CD military camp at all. Many of them were given to wealthy families, and some
They built Wubao forts for others, and some were taken to Iron Mountain to mine and smelt iron.
After hearing this, Cuan Chen felt even more shuddering.
What happened to the people in Shu?
What happened to those big players?
He is not going to crusade the refugees, but he is very active in starting this matter.
But the more this happened, the more unwilling he was to give up his persistence.
Even if there is darkness, I will hold fire alone and move forward.
He woke up Xin Wan and helped the frightened Xin Wan towards her maroon horse. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and said to Brother Shen, Lao Liu and others with a sincere face: "
People with different paths should not work together. I will say goodbye today. My name is Cuan Chen. If you come to Jianning someday, you can come to Wei County to find me."
Cao Jian, a householder in Bodao County, has been miserable and happy these past few days.
What is painful is that Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, aggressively recruited people from all counties to go to cd. According to Luo Shang's latest order, all counties and counties along the Pishui River must build long defensive perimeters to prevent the refugees from having any gaps to cross the river.
.The state puts the task on the county, and the county puts the task on the counties. Every branch in each county is very busy these days. Some are responsible for gathering people to cut down trees, and some are responsible for going to various households to apportion and collect taxes.
Some even went directly to some homes to capture people for service. Suddenly, there were complaints everywhere.
Cao Jian has always been liked by the county magistrate Zhang Meng. In Zhang Meng's eyes, Cao Jian is the most sensible and discerning subordinate. Whenever there are many things that he wants to do but can't say, Cao Jian will be the first to stand up.
Come out to help him and say to help him. Even every day, Cao Jian would take the trouble to report to Zhang Meng what so many of his subordinates did and said in private. This made Zhang Meng sigh with emotion every time.
As an official in three places, there has never been a subordinate who was as loyal to him as Cao Jian.
Cao Jian's home is on the other side of the Sanjiangkou. Bodao County is at the three forks where the Sanjiang River converges, like a huge "人" character. Bodao County is just below the word "人", and Cao Jian's home is right next to the "人" character.
On the right side of the word, you have to cross the Jinsha River. And Zhou Xing's Bodao Kingdom started from Bodao County and went south along the Jinsha River, which was his fiefdom.
Cao Jian's family is said to be a big family in Bodao County. In terms of strength, it is only lower than Gongsun's family. Both his family and Gongsun's family are on the right side of the character "人", which has the most cultivated land and the most spiritual fields in Bodao County.
.But Cao Jian originally had no status in the Cao family. Although he had spiritual veins, he was a commoner, a commoner of the Xiaozong. He had been cold-eyed and bullied since he was a child, and he had developed the ability to observe facial expressions.
In the opinion of the patriarch of the Cao family, Cao Jian is the most hard-working and uncomplaining person among the family's children, and the one who best considers the interests of the family. Therefore, against all opinions, he sent Cao Jian to the Qiao family in Shu County to listen.
A one-year course. After returning, when the then Bodao County Magistrate was looking for subordinates to their family, he strongly recommended Cao Jian, a commoner son. And Cao Jian lived up to the expectations of their clan leader and served as county magistrate twice.
The elders all 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 comfortable. He married a beautiful woman, and one of his three children is a monk with three spiritual veins.
For him, a monk with only one spiritual vein, and even for the Cao family, the talent of three spiritual veins is rare in their family for generations.
He secretly vowed to do his best to train his talented son to become the highest-ranking monk in the history of the Cao family. Fifth grade? Or fourth grade? What an honor that would be!
But how difficult it is to train a monk!
Their ancestors of the Cao family were not as wealthy as the ancestors of the Li Xiang family, nor were they as wealthy as the ancestors of the Gongsun family. They were not even as wealthy as the ancestors of the Jianlan family, who at least had a profound skill and cultivation experience passed down from generation to generation. Their family traces back
Up to that point, the highest-ranking monk who ever came out was only a seventh-grade monk. According to their family's genealogy, their family was the first batch of farmers to move from Jingzhou when Emperor Wu of Shang Dynasty opened the Five Feet Road.
, a most ordinary villager. I don’t know the name of the cultivation formula circulated in the family. No one in his family understands the theory. They just have some experience over the past generations, and they have been exploring and accumulating bit by bit.
Now. Today, the Cao family actually has five monks. Although their grades are not high, they are still a family with five monks. Many of the big families here in Bodao are like the Cao family.
The descendants of the Cao family who migrated from Jingzhou to serve as merchants came to guard this five-foot road.
Back then, this place was desolate. The local Bo people were very afraid of the prosperous merchants and allowed them to slowly occupy the best farmland and spiritual fields. His family was so prosperous that Huang Yuan's family over there
The same is true. Whenever they talk about this period of history, they will be glad that their ancestors traveled thousands of miles to Bodao, the most remote place in the empire, to open up territory for the empire, and they have since then owned a spiritual field that can benefit future generations.
.And with their status as civilians back then, it was impossible for them to own a spiritual field in their hometown.
However, as the population increased, and as more and more children had spiritual veins, the spiritual grain produced at home was obviously not enough for so many people. This in turn inspired Cao Jian to work harder.
He himself is only a ninth-grade monk, and he probably will be like this for the rest of his life. But he is definitely not willing to accept that his son, who has three spiritual veins, will only waste his life at the ninth-grade and eighth-grade level.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, if you want to become a county magistrate who is in charge of a party, you must be at least a sixth-grade monk. This is the hard standard of the Great Jin Dynasty. If you want to become a county governor, you must be at least a fifth-grade monk. If you want to become a first-grade monk
The governor of the state must be at least a fourth-grade monk.
The goal Cao Jian set for himself is to train his son to at least become a sixth-grade monk. If his son can really achieve his wish and become a majestic county magistrate in the future, then he will be the descendant of generations of their Cao family.
The first county magistrate, the first official!
What an honor that is!
And in order to train his son to be successful, it is not enough to rely only on the spiritual grain allocated to him by his family and his salary.
So, he was very happy when he took on the job of checking people coming and going after crossing the river.
It's easy to say anything, but it's hard to say anything.
As long as you give money to Mr. Cao, then you are a deserter and not a deserter.
But if you don't pay, I'm sorry, you are a business traveler who has been here many times, and you will be arrested as a deserter.
On this day, he was still half-lying leisurely in the pavilion by the river. Suddenly, one of his soldiers ran over panting and said urgently: "My lord, something is wrong, there is a fight on the riverside."
When Cao Jian heard this, he stood up with a crash and shouted sternly: "Who has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard and dares to be an official? Are you rebelling?"
"A man and a woman." The soldier responded: "The man is wearing tattered clothes and holding a long sword and a bow and arrow in his hand. He looks like a deserter. The woman looks like a young lady from a rich family.
."
Hearing that there were only two people, Cao Jian immediately felt a lot more at ease. He picked up his long sword and said: "Let's go, take me to see. I want to see what these two people look like? A deserter."
How dare you hit an official? Do you really think your neck is harder than a steel knife?"
The man and woman causing trouble by the river were naturally Cuan Chen and Xin Wan.
When Cuan Chen came here, he took the road on the Yuesong County side, but when he returned, he had to take the Wuchi Road on the Bo Road side. Xin Wan had gone through the accidents on the road, and had long since lost the temperament she had when she just ran away from home.
Passion and reckless drive. After being rescued by Cuan Chen from Brother Shen, she suddenly matured. She began to consider many issues that she had never considered before.
Accidents and hardships are the best things that can promote a person's growth.
Go over to look for Jordan?
Jordan is already married, what right does he have to stay there, and he is willing to be his concubine? The key is, even if he is willing, will he be willing? Is his wife willing? I'm afraid they will send him a concubine.
The man sent himself back to the Xin family.
In that case, should he tell Jordan about the shameful things his father did secretly?
Once these things are exposed, let alone his father, the entire Xin family will probably fall apart. Then what will happen to a weak woman like me? Let alone being someone else's wife, I'm afraid she will want to be someone else's wife.
A concubine, people still despise her identity.
She shuddered when she thought of the scene when Brother Shen, Lao Liu and others captured her. If it weren't for Cuan Chen, she knew what would have happened to her.
Life is more than the distance and poetry, life is more important than the present and the contentment.
If you can't grasp the present, how can you talk about grasping the future?
Those who can talk about distant places and poetry at all times are those who live a carefree life.
Confused and helpless, when Cuan Chen said that she was going to pass through Bodao, she remembered that she knew Wang Tianyun and Zhou Xing on the other side of Bodao. She did not dare to think about what would happen to her when she arrived at Bodao and met Wang Tianyun and Zhou Xing.
No matter what, she just didn't want to wander alone anymore. Even if Wang Tianyun sent her back to the Xin family again, she thought she would accept it.
The reality is so cold, and the family is so sheltered from wind and rain. Even if the things her father and her brother did were unreasonable, she no longer wants to think about those things.
In just a few days, this little girl who used to live a carefree life and who loved reading and fantasizing the most grew up. She suddenly realized that she had always been a willful and mischievous girl who knew nothing.
She didn't know how she felt about Cuan Chen, a young man who was not particularly tall but had thick eyebrows and big eyes. She relied on him a lot along the way, but she didn't feel like a deer jumping around when she faced Jordan.
. Along the way, she listened to him talk about the customs over there in Ningzhou, the mountains and rivers over there, the people there, the endless Dian Lake, and the snow-capped mountains.
There are actually snow-capped mountains in the south of Yizhou? Isn’t it supposed to be very hot in the south?
Xin Wan was very curious, but she knew it must be beautiful there.
Along the way, she learned about the status of the Cuan family in Ningzhou. This surprised her and made her look at Cuan Chen in tattered clothes in a new light.
Cuan Chen is the eldest grandson of the Cuan family. A man of such status joined the army without hesitation and came to Yizhou to help Yizhou suppress the rebels, but he ended up like this.
At the same time, she thought of her father and brother. She thought, if Cuan Chen knew about this, he would hate her too. The five thousand troops from Ningzhou also completely collapsed that night and fled.
Escape, die. Every time Cuan Chen mentioned this matter, he would be heartbroken and even curse. He scolded Luo Shang, scolding him for his blind command and allowing the five thousand righteous men in Ningzhou to perish before they could do anything.
According to Cuan Chen, after he returns to Ningzhou, he will not join the army again and come to Yizhou even if he is beaten to death. There are no good people in CD, they are all a bunch of scammers.
Because of this, Xin Wan originally had the idea of following Cuan Chen, but after hearing this, she gave up the idea.
Let Wang Tianyun send someone to take her home, and go to Jingzhou with her family. I'm afraid this is the fate of my life. It's ridiculous that I used to have a higher heart than the sky, but it turns out that my life is thinner than paper. If I can do it in the future
Marrying a decent husband who can take care of your husband and raise your children and live a peaceful life is probably already a luxury.
