Chapter 122 Zouma Tan County(1/2)
Qin Man rode his horse with the guards.
With a pair of beautiful eyes, she looked at Liu Kan who was walking in front with interest. This guy who looked rough on the outside but was actually very delicate on the inside made Qin Man feel extremely curious. Grandma said that this person looks like a noble person. But no matter how she looks at it, she didn't see the noble.
If it were someone else, Qin Man would definitely be dismissive.
But according to her grandmother, the person who evaluated this sentence was the uncle of Fuqiu Xianchang, the famous Xushi. Grandma looked down on what Xushi did. However, she admired Xushi's Taoist practice very much. The technique of stamina (sound shi, flat tone) has reached a superb level. The method of observing qi and watching qi can be called the first person under the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
I guess I won't see it badly!
Qin Man said to himself: He doesn't know how to observe, so he can't tell whether this guy is noble.
However, the journey is long and you can observe it secretly. It is rare for a small Kurara Ring to have such a big breath.
Liu Kan didn't even realize Qin Man's thoughts.
He and Wang Xin were driving the way forward, riding horses slowly, and enjoying the scenery along the way, and they were free and easy.
Wang Xin is now eleven years old.
He was seven feet tall, like a little adult. He learned a lot... He learned fist and foot with Liu Kan, practiced Tai Chi, and learned riding with Guan Ying, and achieved some success in archery. He played with Liu Ju and worked hard. He learned to use force with Cao Wushang, and even Cao Wushang was not an opponent.
A copper scepter weighs more than 60 kilograms, a foot long one.
What Wang Xin lacks is just experience and real battles on the battlefield.
In Cao Wushang's words: In another ten years, when this kid grows up, there are probably only a handful of people in the world who can control him.
Liu Kan is also quite looking forward to this.
I wonder what kind of name this silly boy will make in the future?
Starting from Lou Cang, you need to pass through Tong County, cross Sishui, travel between Xiaxiang and Ling County, pass through Siwu (now the bank of Maling Mountain), and head north, which is where Tan County is located. The road is peaceful and nothing has happened. No wonder, these days, it is impossible for everyone to be able to travel in groups and fully armed forces on the road of the government. Even if it is not an official army, who dares to come forward to provoke?
Moreover, Qin Man is quite familiar with accidents and walks along the way, which is very organized.
When passing by prefectures and counties, people would always send people to visit first. They would never disturb the people, and they would mostly camp in the wild, which made Liu Kan nod.
It is indeed rare to have such a wealth and not be arrogant or impatient.
However, I felt a little more worried. Although I asked myself to accompany me, it is not certain whether I could get in touch with the Qin family.
Liu Kan was not in a hurry to tell Qin Man about moving Hua Diao to Jiangyang.
This is not a big bargaining chip. It is only useful if the scale is placed on it when it is inclined to you. Rarely speaking, it will make people feel that you are close to others and you will fall behind. This is the reason why good steel should be placed on the blade.
After Siwu stayed for a day, the guards continued to march.
Arrived in Tan County two days later.
Tan County was once the place where Tan State was located in the Spring and Autumn Period. The surname was Yi, and it was a descendant of Emperor Shaohao. There was a king in Tan State who was famous. The name was no longer available, and people respectfully called him Tan Zi. It is said that this king had a wide range of knowledge. When he went to Lu to pay homage to the king, the King of Lu asked him about the reason why Shaohao used birds as his official name. Tan Zi answered in detail.
This incident has been recorded in history, leaving behind important information on the formation and evolution of the ancient official system.
The Confucian sage Confucius was only twenty-seven years old at the time. After hearing this, he strengthened his belief in studying. So much so that Han Yu, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, left a sentence of "Confucius's command of Tan Zi" in "The Secret". Now, the State of Tan is no longer there, and it is difficult to find the body of Tan Zi. However, after Qin Man arrived in Tan County, he still bowed three times outside the Palace Gate of Tan State.
This is called respecting teachers and wise men.
In the era when Liu Kan lived in his previous life, respecting teachers and respecting the truth has become empty talk.
Students can beat and scold teachers, but teachers ignore students. They say that future generations are development, but in Liu Kan's opinion, future generations... are far from the present.
He had never heard of Tan Zi, but Qin Man still explained to him patiently.
Liu Kan also felt respectful and bowed three times in front of the ruins of the National Palace Museum, as he regarded it as a kind of respect for his ancestors.
However, unexpectedly, this very ordinary behavior greatly increased Qin Man's favorability.
"A Kan, A Kan!"
Outside the gate of Tan County, Shen Shiqi Cao Wushang had been waiting for a long time. After receiving the notice from Lu Shizhi, the three of them hurried to Tan County. This was the first time that Liu Kan had met Shen Shiqi since she left Pei County, so there was no need to have any greetings.
"Sir Kurari, is this the friend you mentioned?"
Qin Man walked forward, glanced at Shen Shiqi and Cao Wushang, and then smiled and said, "Man won't disturb your reunion. We will stay in Tan County tonight. After I visited the county magistrate, I will set up camp outside the city. I will leave at the Mao hour tomorrow, and I will ask Lord Cang Ling, don't forget it."
“This is natural!”
Liu Kan nodded and agreed.
Accompanied by four retainers, Qin Man went straight to the county government.
Shen Shiqi looked at Qin Man's graceful back and couldn't help but 'tsk' twice, grabbing Liu Kan's arm, "A Kan, what is this girl?"
"What? I'm moved!"
Shen Shiqi smiled and said, "Don't you know that our four brothers were married and A Li had already gotten married. Now even Lao Cao has a beautiful family, saying that they will get married in the coming year. I am the only one, and I am still alone."
Cao Wushang's face was a little red.
"Aqi, don't say I... you are not good at it. If you hadn't been in Xiguan all day long, how many good women in Peixian wouldn't rush to marry you?"
Liu Kan couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Qi, I hurriedly asked you to come, because I have something important to discuss with you."
Shen Shiqi also put away his laughing face, "I have booked an inn in the city, and I can discuss the matter. Let's go, I also brought a few cubes of good wine... Hehe, the four-year cellar wine that has just left the cellar, we brothers have been drinking and talking, and we haven't been drunk for a long time."
"Very good!"
In this way, the five people entered Tan County together and headed straight for an inn.
When the inn owner saw Shen Shiqi, his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, and he looked like a grandson. He led the five people into the store.
"A Kan, you don't know!"
Cao Wushang made a report, "This guy is very glorious now. When he walks there, he shows his identity as the owner of the Sishui Huadiao. Look, when the owner of this small inn heard his name, he simply turned the entire inn clear. Damn, don't listen to him talking nonsense. He has booked the inn, but he doesn't dare to charge him for money at all. Now, this restaurant is still making a living, and he is very arrogant."
Liu Kan's heart was indestructible.
The more glorious it is, the harder it is to talk about it...
Put yourself in mind, if you don’t know something about the future, you may be satisfied with this glorious life. The same is true for Shen Shiqi... Although Cao Wushang said sourly, I am afraid that he will be very comfortable with the glorious life of this glorious life today.
With a thoughtful heart, sit down in the seat by the window.
Lu Shizhi and Wang Xin were placed at the wine table with two flower sculptures.
The owner of the shop tactfully pulled the screen away, forming an independent space to facilitate Liu Kan and others to talk about things. These masters cannot neglect them. The good service, and the people squeezed out something from the cracks in their fingers, was enough for his small inn to benefit.
"A Kan, I hurriedly called me here. What's wrong?"
What I said to Lu Zhi is not easy to talk about Shen Jiqi.
Liu Kan pondered for a moment, took a sip of wine, and whispered: "Brother Qi, I have an important thing to talk about when I come here this time.
Well... I want to stop the winery in Pei County and move to Jiangyang."
Shen Shiqi said as if nothing had happened: "Okay, then stop."
Lu Shizhi widened his eyes, looked at Shen Shiqi, and pushed gently, "Brother Qi, did you hear clearly what Brother Kan said?"
"Of course I heard it clearly. Didn't it just stop the bar... and slowly, stop the bar? Why?"
Shen Shiqi then realized and suddenly became excited.
Cao Wushang looked at Liu Kan in confusion, "A Kan, it's so good, why did you stop the bar? Also, where is Jiangyang you mentioned?"
Liu Kan sighed, "I knew, you wouldn't agree."
Shen Shiqi was anxious, "Akan, it's not that I don't agree, it's just... where is Jiangyang? If you say that you want to move the barbecue to Lou Cang, I have no objection. But Jiangyang... I haven't even heard of it. And, it's so good, why did it stop?"
"Jiangyang, in Bajun!"
puff……
Cao Wushang squirted out a sip of wine and started coughing violently.
"Ba County?"
He exclaimed, "A Kan, what are you kidding? Our Pei County is well-connected and we don't do a good business, but we are going to Naba County to do it?
Ba County... I have heard that it is thousands of mountains and rivers away from Sishui. The road is rugged and inconvenient. What is it going to do there?"
Liu Kan was very distressed.
"Brother Qi, I can't say it."
"Is it for that little girl?"
The "Xiao Niuer" mentioned by Shen Shiqi refers to Qin Man.
Liu Kan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I am like a person who ignores nothing for women? There is indeed a reason for moving the barbecue to Ba County, but she is very young... I believe you can see that this woman's identity is unusual. This is the case..."
Liu Kan explained Qin Man's background in a slight way, and only heard Shen Shiqi and Cao Wushang were stunned.
"I don't want to explain the specific reason, nor can I explain it. The transfer of the bar to Bajun is not just because I want to cooperate with the Qin family.
In fact, it may not be certain whether others are willing to cooperate with us.
With the financial resources of the Qin family, the little money we earn may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others. Even if I can’t cooperate, I will transfer the bar to Jiangyang. Brother Qi, it’s not hurt... There are your part in this bar. I just want to ask, do you agree or not?"
Shen Shiqi and Cao Wushang were both silent!
Lu Shizhi's heart pounded, and when he looked at Liu Kan, the meaning in his eyes was different.
