If he thought that Cao Peng was not worthy of being the son-in-law of the Huang family before, now that Cao Peng has become famous, he is no longer a man from Zhongyang Village back then.
The relationship between Huang Chengyan and Huang Zu is not very good.
Huang Zu has always disapproved of Huang Yueying's elopement with Cao Peng.
In addition to the factors of Cao Peng's background, there is also the reason of Huang She. If the Huang family recognized Cao Peng, wouldn't it mean that what Huang She did back then was wrong? You know, because of Cao Peng's incident , Huang Zu and the Pang family of Lumenshan almost had a falling out. If it weren't for Liu Bei's mediation, and the arguments of a prominent family in Jingxiang, the two families could relax a bit. But even so, every time they got together, Pang Degong said to Huang Zu None of them had a good face, and what was worse, they would even taunt Huang Zu with some strange words...
Fortunately, Pang Ji passed away.
This also greatly reduced the strength of the Lumenshan Pang family in Jingxiang.
Pang Degong was unwilling to become an official, so Pang was weaker than Huang Zu in the officialdom.
As for Huang Zu, he didn't want to have too much trouble with the Pang family. After all, the big Pang Shangshu was not here, and the little Pang Shangshu still had enough background.
Huang Chengyan had a very good relationship with Mr. Pang De, and they often hung out at Lumen Mountain or Shuijing Villa.
Huang Yueying's incident has become a joke among celebrities in Jingxiang and Xiangyang. However, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng's "Eight Hundred Character Essay" was published, and after he became a disciple of Hu Zhao, the sarcastic voices became smaller and smaller. Many people have made friends with Huang Chengyan intentionally or unintentionally.
After Cao Peng returned to his clan and recognized his ancestors, and the Zhongyang Cao family officially returned to the Cao family, more and more people visited Huang Chengyan.
When the Battle of Guandu started, all the eyes of the nine counties of Jingxiang and Xiang were focused on Xudu.
It was at this time that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao. Cao Peng wrote a "Three Character Classic", which almost contained the romantic deeds of famous figures in the past. He suddenly rose up and had a vague image of everyone. It can only be called "faint", but not called " It has been completed because Cao Peng has not published any classic works. The Eight Hundred Character Classic and the Three Character Classic are both works of Mongolian studies, so naturally they are not comparable to those classics.
But even so, people who visit Huang Chengyan flock to him like ducks.
Pang Degong once praised privately: "Huang Yan has unique vision and has already planned.
Today, Xiao Cao's "Three Character Classic" has won the respect of people all over the world. From now on, another classic will come out, which will be popular among everyone sooner or later. I am very happy and congratulated."
In his heart, Pang Degong became even more angry with Huang Zu.
Although he said he was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not want to be an official, he was still a mortal after all.
As a mortal, you will have joy and anger.
He had already accepted Cao Peng as his disciple at the beginning. If Huang Zu had not interfered, Cao Peng would have already become his disciple at Lumen Mountain.
Now, there is no doubt that Lumen Mountain will become famous all over the world.
But it's porn...
Whenever he thought about this matter, Pang Degong couldn't help but sigh. How could he feel comfortable that he had achieved Hu Kongming's reputation for nothing?
Only then did Huang Chengyan notice that it had been nearly three years since his daughter left with Cao Peng.
He also knew that the marriage between Huang Yueying and Cao Peng was a foregone conclusion and could not be blocked by outside forces. In addition, Chen Ji sent someone to propose marriage before, which also made Huang Chengyan shaken. Although Liu Biao and Cao Cao were enemies, their private interactions It has never been cut off.
During the Three Kingdoms era, it was not uncommon for people on two opposing sides to marry each other.
As a Jiangxia family, the Huang family had their own way of survival. Although Huang Zu was attached to Liu Biao, it did not mean that Huang Chengyan agreed with Liu Biao.
Not putting all eggs in one basket is the survival rule of the world.
Therefore, even if Liu Biao knew that Huang Chengyan's daughter had followed Cao Peng, he would not embarrass Huang Chengyan. This is an unwritten rule.
When Huang Chengyan was a guest at Shuijing Villa, Sima Hui mentioned this matter again.
Huang Chengyan knew it was time to make a decision...
So Huang Chengyan returned to Jiangxia, packed his bags, took more than 300 people, and headed north to Xudu.
These more than 300 young men were all the children of Gan Ning who stayed in Jingzhou. Gan Ning defected to Liu Biao from Bajun and brought 800 children with him. Later Gan Ning followed Cao Peng to Xudu, and the 800 children came with him. Accepted by Huang Chengyan. After more than two years, many people have settled down in Jiangxia and no longer want to wander around. However, there are still some young people who are still willing to accompany Huang Chengyan northward. Most of these people were Jinfan thieves with Gan Ning. Huang Chengyan showed great bravery at that time and did not force himself. He only brought 300 people and his family to Xudu.
He doesn't have a good impression of Jiangxia Huang family and Cao Ji.
I think back then, his family almost died in Huang Shooter's life. Even though many years have passed, Cao Ji still felt scared when he thought about it.
But this will not hinder his love for Huang Yueying.
This little girl understands Cao Ji's thoughts very well, and she doesn't have the temper of a young lady.
The most important thing is that the little girl has learned a lot and is quite good at those so-called "odd tricks". For example, in making swords, Huang Yueying restored the sword-making and forging skills of the ancient Yue people based on the records in some ancient books, which made Cao Ji Knife-making technology has been improved.
From then on, Cao Gong's car and Cao Gong's plow were all covered by Huang Yueying's wisdom.
This also gave Cao Ji and Huang Yueying many common topics.
Therefore, when Huang Chengyan came to visit, Cao Ji still gave him enough respect. The two parties held some discussions in an extremely friendly atmosphere and finally finalized the wedding date of Huang Yueying and Cao Peng. However, Huang Yueying and Cao Peng had been holding on to each other for many years. , and finally achieved the right result.
Cao Peng sat aside and listened quietly.
At this time, there was no room for him to speak.
He stared straight at the young man sitting below Huang Chengyan.
This young man is not tall, estimated to be less than 170 centimeters, and he looks to be around 20 years old. He has horizontal eyebrows, triangular eyes, a flat nose, and dark skin color. His hair is slightly yellow, and he looks extremely ugly. He is sitting right below Huang Chengyan. It also showed that his identity was just below that of Huang Chengyan. He remained silent like an old monk in trance. When he realized that someone was looking at him, the young man also opened his eyes and looked over.
Immediately, the young man grinned at Cao Peng.
pretty ugly!
The appearance of this guy is really...
Cao Peng couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and shuddered secretly.
This guy's appearance is even uglier than Dian Wei's.
Dian Wei Chou is ugly, but he has a heroic spirit; but the young man in front of him has nothing to do with "heroic". If there must be a definition... wretched means wretched, extremely wretched. A wretched appearance, wretched The smile, the whole person is very vulgar.
When Cao Peng came to the living room, Huang Yueying had already gone out.
Cao Ji was talking to Huang Chengyan, so he did not introduce him to Cao Peng.
"Ah Fu, I forgot to introduce you just now... This person is not an outsider. If it hadn't been for some unforeseen circumstances back then, you wouldn't be in the same sect."
Noticing the curiosity in Cao Peng's eyes, Huang Chengyan suddenly spoke.
Fellow disciple?
Cao Peng was startled.
But he saw the young man standing up, smiling slightly, cupping his hands and saying, "I'm Pang Tong. I've heard about Cao Babai's name for a long time, so I came here to pay you a visit."
In his words, there was a kind of pride unique to the children of aristocratic families.
Although it was a visit, he just held his hand and bowed slightly...
Cao Peng couldn't help but shrink his pupils, looking at the ugly young man in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.
"I dare to ask, but are you Mr. Yuan'an and your son?"
"Exactly."
Cao Peng let out a long breath, stood up and stepped forward, "I've heard about Shi Yuan's name for a long time, and I'm so lucky to see him today."
After saying that, Cao Peng bowed to the ground.
Cao Peng's move really shocked Pang Tong.
Huang Chengyan on the side looked even more satisfied and nodded slightly.
Pang Tong looked embarrassed and quickly stood up to return the gift. Just now, he just bowed his hand, but Cao Peng returned the gift, making Pang Tong feel flattered. He is the son of Pang Ji, and studied under Pang Degong and Sima Decao.
But in terms of reputation, it was far inferior to Cao Peng. Cao Peng's solemn salute made Pang Tong feel ashamed, and his arrogance immediately disappeared.
"Cao Babai actually knows me too?"
"I heard that there are two sages and four friends in Shuijing Villa. The scholar's name is Feng Chu. I wonder if he is?"
Pang Tong suddenly froze and looked at Cao Peng in shock.
At the beginning of the year, he and Sima Decao discussed the outcome of Guandu, and Sima Decao praised him as a "phoenix chick". However, no one else knew about it. The content of the discussion that day was limited to a few people. At that time, Pang Tong
He once asserted that Yuan Shao would be defeated in the Guandu Battle... Sima Hui asked him to explain the reason, and he also answered. At that time, Sima Hui praised that Pang Tong was the young phoenix at that time, and he would become famous in the future. Therefore, the name of this phoenix young came to be known as "Pang Tong".
It was spread among private people, and apart from Sima Hui, only four or five people knew about it.
But how did Cao Peng know?
Huang Chengyan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Shi Yuan, is this happening?"
Pang Tong blushed...but his skin was dark, and outsiders couldn't tell.
"Mr. Hui, it's just Mr. Shui Jing's joke."
Cao Peng said sternly: "Mr. Shui Jing has both talent and learning, and is highly respected. How can we joke about it?
Brother Shi Yuan has a beautiful world in mind, but it's a pity that Liu Jingsheng only has a false reputation and only knows how to judge people by their appearance, but he doesn't want to miss the good people around him."
Pang Tong's eyes flashed with gratitude.
Huang Chengyan sighed softly, but had no words.
Previously, Pang Degong had someone recommend Pang Tong to Liu Biao, with the intention of letting Pang Tong work under Liu Biao. Unexpectedly, after Liu Biao met Pang Tong, he was disgusted with Pang Tong's ugly appearance. Although he did not say it out loud, his attitude was made clear.
his thoughts.
Pang Tong was also a proud and arrogant man, so he could not bear that kind of neglect, so he resigned from the official position awarded by Liu Biao.
After returning to Shuijing Villa, Pang Tong felt depressed.
He came from a well-known family. He learned from his uncle since he was a child, and later became a disciple of Shuijing Villa. He considered himself to be of extraordinary talent and learning.
Who knows, because he is ugly, he is often laughed at... Hearing that Huang Chengyan was going to Xudu, Pang Tong became interested. He had heard of Cao Peng's name a long time ago, but unfortunately he had no chance to get to know him. Since he was in Jingxiang
If you have no future, it is good to simply go out for a walk and gain some experience. By the way, you can also meet Cao Peng to see if Cao Peng is really as outstanding as his father and uncle praised him. Huang Chengyan did not refuse,
So he took Pang Tong with him to Xudu and was a guest in Cao's mansion...
When Pang Tong met Cao Peng for the first time, he didn't feel anything at all.
But then he realized that Cao Peng had been sizing him up...
I thought that Cao Peng, like Liu Biao, was also a guy who judged people based on their appearance. Pang Tong felt somewhat uncomfortable, so he just handed over his hand.
He was born ugly, so he had an extremely sensitive and proud heart.
Historically, after Pang Tong launched a series of schemes, he got letters of recommendation from Lu Su and Zhuge Liang. He first joined Sun Quan, but was looked down upon by Sun Quan because of his appearance. Later, he joined Liu Bei, but was also ignored because of his looks. But even though he became a minor
The county magistrate, Pang Tong, did not take out Zhuge Liang's letter of recommendation.
Later Liu Bei repented and re-employed Pang Tong.
However, on the way to Xichuan, he was ambushed and shot by Zhang Ren.
Cao Peng studied the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and when Pang Tong was killed, he still felt strange.
The so-called Luofengpo is just an interpretation by the novelist. Cao Peng doesn't particularly believe it. He wonders why Pang Tong was harmed by Zhang Ren so easily at that time? He was Fengchu, and he was as famous as Zhuge Liang in the world.
The performance of 'Feng Chu' was too bad.
Later, he heard a saying: Pang Tong was one of those people who was extremely inferior and extremely proud.
He is talented, but he is eager to express himself.
He doesn't want to be said that he relied on Zhuge Liang to make his fortune, so he has been looking for opportunities to prove his talent...
When Luo Fengpo died, it was not so much that Pang Tong was harmed by Zhang Ren, but rather that he was so eager to make meritorious deeds that he lost his direction.
At first glance, it makes sense.
But what is the reality? I’m afraid it’s not well known.
Cao Peng liked Pang Tong very much because of his sorrow for dying before he left the army and his reputation as "Feng Chu".
Sometimes, there is no need for a special reason to like someone. For example, Cao Peng likes Pang Tong because of his nickname of "Feng Chu".
Zhuge Liang?
There are too many people who like Wolong in later generations, so there is no need for him to add icing on the cake.
As a tragic figure, Feng Chu became Cao Peng's favorite...
"I didn't expect Shiyuan to come, I was really surprised.
Now that you're here, don't be in a hurry to go back. Father, why don't you let people vacate the house and invite Shiyuan to live in our house? Now that I have no official position and a light body, I can just spend some time with Shiyuan. When I'm free, I
How about taking you to Longshan for hunting and walking around?"
Cao Ji smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide this matter, Ah Fu."
He turned to Huang Chengyan and said, "Mr. Huang, what are your plans?"
Huang Chengyan thought for a while, "I came to Xudu just for Yueying's marriage. After the wedding, I will prepare to return to Jiangxia."
"Uncle, what are you doing back in Jiangxia?"
Cao Peng quickly spoke to stop him.
Huang Chengyan has returned, doesn't it mean that Pang Tong may also leave?
Moreover, Cao Peng also hopes that Huang Chengyan can stay. Personally, if Huang Chengyan stays, Huang Yueying will be very happy; publicly, Huang Chengyan is also a master of tricks and tricks, and his knowledge is complex, especially better than Huang Yueying. Cao Peng hopes that he can learn from Huang Chengyan
Learn more.
Cao Ji nodded and said, "I heard that Jiangxia is not very stable now.
Jiangdong often invades the country, and if the relatives go back, Xudu may not be safe... I can't say anything else, but Xudu is at least safe. Yuan Shao is defeated, and there will be no war in twenty years. There are many good places around Xudu,
Why don’t the in-laws buy property here, Yueying will be happy too.”
"Well..."
Huang Chengyan's heart was pounding.
"If not, you can go to Yingyin."
"oh?"
"Now Cao Hong, the prefect of Yingchuan, is my uncle. I heard from him that there are many places in Yingchuan that are idle. If my uncle feels that he is not used to them, why not settle in Yingchuan. If you have nothing to do, you can go to Yingchuan Academy for a walk
, that’s where today’s celebrities gather.”
Cao Peng opened his mouth and made suggestions.
Huang Chengyan pondered for a long time, "I have no acquaintances in Yingchuan."
Cao Peng said with a smile: "How about this? I just have some free time and go to Yingchuan with my uncle for a walk. If I like the place, I can buy it."
"That's it, I'd like to learn from you."
Cao Peng reached out and grabbed Pang Tong's arm, "Shi Yuan, let's go to the back garden to talk.
The plum blossoms are in full bloom in the garden today. We can drink wine and enjoy the plum blossoms in the garden. It is also one of the great pleasures of life. I wonder what Shi Yuan thinks?"
Pang Tongtong smiled and said, "I will follow you, my dear brother."
