I was very uncomfortable yesterday, so I only updated one chapter in the early morning.

Today I will add yesterday’s chapter. Next week may be the last week before Xiaoxin is released. Please collect and recommend more. Xiaoxin is not very grateful.

———————————————————

Dong Qi did not give up. Although he knew that the possibility of that matter was not high, he still couldn't help but give it a try.

After all, opportunities do not appear every day, and future greats like Gu Yong are not often encountered by Dong Qi. On the way to the city, Dong Qi and Gu Yong started to talk indirectly. During the conversation, they learned about Gu Yong's situation.

Gu Yong has a very good background and his family is one of the rare aristocratic families in Jiangdong.

A few years ago, it seemed that he had caused trouble at home and ran to Luoyang to avoid the limelight. Later, he was introduced by someone and was appointed by Cai Yong's disciple.

Now, the disaster at home has been eliminated.

Gu Yong is about to reach the age of twentieth. With the efforts of his family and the recommendation of local officials, he will serve as the chief of Hefei.

After sending Cai Yong home on this trip, Gu Yong also had to go home immediately to take up his post.

Dong Qi's question is very obscure. But who is Gu Yong? How could he not hear the meaning of Dong Qi's words?

"Brother Ah Chou!"

Gu Yong and Dong Qi were also familiar with each other, so their names seemed much more casual. Dong Qi had not yet taken the word, so Gu Yong called him his nickname directly, which was a recognition of Dong Qi. Of course, Dong Qi was also very happy about it.

Gu Yong said: "Yong Fei doesn't understand your intentions. Speaking of which, my uncle is now in a high position, holding heavy troops, and has a great status in the court... But you should know that Yong was born in a big family and every decision he had to make should first consider the interests of the family. Although his uncle is at a high level, he may not be able to make the Yong family highly profitable."

This statement is very clear, and Dong Qi is not only sad.

Gu Yong means that although your official position is high, it is nothing in the eyes of the aristocratic clans. It is not difficult to make me loyal to you. First of all, you want your father to be recognized by my family, and at the same time you have to bring enough benefits to my family. Otherwise, even if you are the general, my family and I will not dump you.

Dong Qi forced a smile, "Thank you for your advice, brother."

After saying that, he couldn't help looking back. Huang Shao was following Dong Tie on his horse, and there was no expression on his face.

Dong Qi has not discovered anything particularly powerful about Huang Shao. The reason why he took him in was because of Cai Yong's face. Perhaps Huang Shao really has some skills, but compared with future great people like Gu Yong, the gap will definitely not be small.

A feeling of loss arises in my heart.

Gu Yong sighed, "Brother A Chou, although Yong doesn't know why you value me so much, Yong is still very grateful. The teacher once said that there are dragons and tigers in poor families. Huang Shao... may really help you. In addition, my junior brother, please don't disturb him for the time being. Fengxiao's study is the critical moment. I'm afraid that it will add a lot of trouble to him. If you are destined to be together in the future, you will definitely get together again."

How could Dong Qi not hear what Gu Yong meant, it was clearly not optimistic about him, let alone the family behind him.

"I've written it down!"

After saying that, he gently knocked his horse's belly with both feet, and the elephant dragon suddenly accelerated and ran to the front of the team.

Gu Yong looked at Dong Qi's back and sighed. After Dong Tie, Huang Shao and the others led the team to pass by, he slowed down his horse and came to the side of the car. He immediately bowed slightly and called softly: "Teacher."

The curtain lifted up the car, revealing Cai Yong's face.

"Yuan Tan, how do you think of this son?"

Gu Yong thought for a while, "Although Brother A Chou looks ugly, he has a generous personality, and is also friendly and has a good temperament. If he is a teacher or a Jiangdong clan, the students will definitely follow him. But... the biggest problem with Brother A Chou is that he has no pursuit. Although the students appreciate him quite well, they are not enough to entrust their wealth."

Cai Yong smiled, "Maybe it's because he has no ambition, maybe it's not time yet... Forget it, I have my own fate. Since Yuan Tan thinks so, I must have made a decision. There is no need to mention this matter. What plans do Yuan Tan has after he returns home?"

"Students hope to have some experience, start from the most basic things, and integrate what the teacher teaches students over the years."

"It's okay if Yuan Tan has this plan. The eagle will eventually grow up and fight against Changkong. Now is the best time."

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he lowered the curtain of the car. The master and apprentice stopped talking. The convoy drove rapidly on the official road, moving further and further.

*******

In ancient times, the meaning of grazing land was to be grazed.

The alluvial plain located in the lower reaches of the Sui River has fertile land and lush water and grass. Many years ago, this place was once the best pasture in the Central Plains. However, with the advancement of farming techniques, people built cities based on the water, and gradually gave up nomadic things and became today's city.

The Cai family is a big family in the city, with a great scholarship for generations and a reputation.

Now, Cai Yong, the most famous scholar in the Cai family in hundreds of years, has returned, and naturally received welcome from the locals.

Not only officials and gentry, but also many local scholars and celebrities were greeted outside the city.

Cai Yong was famous for his arrogance in his early years, but after years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he also understood the way to get along with others.

He got out of the car early and talked to the people who came to greet him.

This conversation naturally made a romance. After the car drove into the Cai family for three days, there was no time to organize the book scripts on the car shop. Not to mention greeting Dong Qi and others, they were so worried about countless social engagements all day long.

Dong Qi is not in a hurry.

Cai Yong lost his wife in his early years and had only one daughter. After his daughter got married last year, there were no one in the family.

In addition to those servants and servants, Dong Qi's status in the huge courtyard was quite transcendent. Cai Yong was also very straightforward and explained to the servants at home on the first day of returning home: When I am not here, you can report to the Dong family's nephew if you have anything to do.

He became the master of the Cai family, which made Dong Qi laugh and cry.

Although Dong Qi did not attend various social events, he could not understand the happiness in the north window of chanting poems and essays. Cai Yong sometimes played a song, but for Dong Qi, the clanging sound was tantamount to playing the piano against a cow.

So after going there once, he decided not to go there again.

Of course, Dong Qi's behavior is undoubtedly vulgar in the eyes of many famous scholars. In addition, his ugly appearance makes people feel even more disappointing. Dong Qi didn't go, and they were all happy, and they pulled Cai Yong and refused to let him go home.

When he was idle, Dong Qi helped Cai Yong sort out the books on the chariot battle.

It is indeed a very difficult task to organize the book that weighs hundreds of pounds. At least for Dong Qi, it is definitely extremely difficult. At this time, Huang Shao's role is also revealed.

He is quite organized in his work on organizing the book scripts. It doesn’t matter if the slaves are illiterate, but he will also make arrangements very appropriately.

Dong Qi was very happy to be idle. He knew that he had caused trouble in the past, so he simply observed Huang Shao's performance.

One day, two days...

Dong Qi and Huang Shao had no conversation, but found that this person is good at managing his talents. No matter how complicated the matter is, he can come up with the simplest way to deal with it. If it is placed in the local area, he must be a capable official. Yes, he is a capable official.

Relatively speaking, Huang Shao's planning and layout are worse.

After gaining a general understanding of Huang Shao, Dong Qi was still very happy. Sometimes he took the initiative to talk to Huang Shao, which made this poor man with a down-and-out background suddenly feel grateful. On the third day, most of the book scriptures were sorted out. Huang Shao took this opportunity to draw out a "Shangshu", one of the Five Classics from Cai Yong's collection, and read it with relish. However, after practicing martial arts, Dong Qi would hold a volume of Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian".

On the fourth day, Gu Yong said goodbye and left.

Dong Qi sent Gu Yong out of the city on behalf of Cai Yong, and was reluctant to part with him.

At this time, Gu Yong's reputation was not obvious, and he even had the taste of youth and frivolity. Seeing that Dong Qi was so affectionate, he was very moved. If it weren't for the family troubles behind him, he would really want to stay and give some advice for Dong Qi.

"Brother A Chou, I don't know when I will meet again today... Yong has a word and wishes to send it to his virtuous brother. His uncle is a high-ranking but also a vulgar family. He is a good family in the six counties, but he is not valued by the scholars and officials. He is also in charge of Hedong and Sili... Sooner or later, he will be jealous of others. Brother, your Dong family wants to make a name for himself, and he has a long way to go."

Dong Qi nodded.

Looking back at the Dong family in the storytelling, it is indeed the case.

Dong Zhuo's life was ups and downs, which could be said to be a treacherous experience. When he appeared in the storytelling, he was defeated by the Yellow Turbans and almost lost his official position. Later, although he led his troops into the capital, he became the subject of thousands of people. He really believed in the rise of a family.

"Brother Yuan Tan, can you solve it?"

Gu Yong said: "Although my brother is not talented, I am willing to plan for his brother. My brother is quite brave in Xiliang, and Dong is a big shot in Yongliang and is considered a big shot. If there is danger, you can avoid Yongliang for a while and wait for the opportunity... If Yongliang cannot be kept, you can go west to Wuwei and plan for the Western Regions. In short, I have only one word for the strategy between me and my brother, which is the word "forbearance".

Dong Qi thought for a long time and said to himself: "Is the sky wide open after a step back?"

Gu Yong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He stared at Dong Qi in surprise for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "My brother's words are great kind!"

Great goodness?

Dong Qi smiled bitterly in his heart.

Tolerance, tolerance, tolerance...

But it is not so easy? How could he use the word "forbearance" to resolve it in his temperament? However, Gu Yong's words are indeed quite insightful. Is the land of Yongliang? Dong Qi's mind began to work and he started to calculate.

Gu Yong looked at the sky, held Dong Qi's hand and said, "Brother, it's not too early, I should set off for a long journey. If you have the fate in the future, you and I should be able to see each other again."

"Brother Yuan Tan, the future is rugged, I hope your brother will take care of it!"

"treasure!"

After Gu Yong finished speaking, he turned over and rode his horse.

A horse rode away, but he could hear Gu Yong's singing coming from the end of the official road.

Dong Qi stood on the road, holding the horse in his hands. Dong Tie and Huang Shao stood silently behind him, and no one spoke.

After a long time, when Gu Yong's back disappeared from the official road, Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back!"

He stepped onto the war horse, couldn't help but look at the distance again, and then said to Dong Tie and Huang Shao with a lonely expression.

The future is rugged...
Chapter completed!
