As the sun set and it got dark, Zhao Ping came over and called Uncle Zhao Ping to come over for dinner.
Zhao Ping originally wanted to ask Liu Ang to join him, but Liu Ang went too far in Changyuan County and almost killed the craftsmen in Zhaojiazhuang.
If Zhao Ping had not been auspicious at that time, Liu Ang might have succeeded.
Just don't bother to call him, come if you want to come, or forget it if you don't.
Where is Liu Ang? Although Zhao Ping didn't call him, he still followed.
After all, he is a seasoned official, and his skin is as thick as a city wall.
The taste can only be said to be acceptable, after all, the current conditions are poor.
Zhao Ping personally prepared food for his uncle and served it to him respectfully.
In fact, you don't have to do this, but after all, you are your uncle, so it is better to prepare the food yourself.
Filial piety should start from small things. In fact, this is also done to show Liu Ang.
Only then did Liu Ang remember that Zhao Ping was here to support his uncle, and he felt a little relieved.
However, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought that this place was in ruins and that the streets were only broken walls.
Except for the nurses from the security team, there are almost no female relatives here. After all, the conditions are too difficult.
At this time, Liu Ang actually put on airs and asked the servant to bring him food.
While Liu Ang was eating, he kept murmuring in his heart. He was really unlucky for eight lifetimes and ended up in this ghost place.
Although the food was not good, there was still hot water for washing his face and feet, which made Liu Ang feel a little relieved.
After washing his feet, Liu Ang was dumbfounded because no one arranged for him to stay.
He was embarrassed to follow Zhao Ping to ask for accommodation, so he saluted his uncle: "Li Zhixian, where will the official stay tonight?"
The uncle looked at him lightly, turned to Zhao Ping and said, "Ping'er, make some arrangements for Liu County Cheng."
After all, the two of them would be colleagues from now on, and it was impossible for his uncle to ignore him.
Zhao Ping actually did this on purpose, so that he would intentionally owe his uncle a favor.
After all, my uncle is a nerd, and officialdom is always risky.
In order to reduce the risks in officialdom, it would be better for him to owe his uncle more favors.
Liu Ang's accommodation had actually been arranged long ago, and it was in the fenced house next to his uncle.
As Liu Ang and his servant moved in, they couldn't help but feel sad again.
The next day, Liu Ang woke up with dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest last night.
His residence is obviously not as good as in Changyuan County. This is a temporary building that was erected yesterday.
It doesn't matter if it smells like bamboo. Literati like bamboo as much as they like it. After all, bamboo is an elegant thing.
But the smell of earth inside was unbearable to him. It was all fresh earth and not yet dry.
But Liu Ang had no choice yet, otherwise he would have to sleep on the street.
Although my uncle also lives in a fenced bamboo house, it has basically dried out, so the earthy smell is not that obvious.
More importantly, as soon as Liu Ang closed his eyes, nightmares kept coming.
He has been here for half a year, and it's already time for the year-end assessment. Jintang County has been demoted to a town because its population is less than 10,000.
Because of Zhao Ping's support, Li Yueqiu was demoted from county magistrate to county magistrate, while Liu Ang was directly removed from the rank and only maintained the rank of an eighth-rank casual official.
In the past, people congratulated him on his promotion during the New Year, but now it is enough without the current ridicule.
Especially when he saw that all his former classmates and colleagues were promoted, he became a casual official.
There is no harm without comparison, so he had no choice but to stay at home and dare not go out.
But at home, he was ridiculed by his wife because he was an official and had no gray income.
Now it is difficult for him to support his wife and children, but he still has a concubine.
The key is that this concubine is younger than Liu Ang's son. If this continues, the concubine may run away with someone.
The key is that this concubine has a good background. Her father is the chief secretary of the Changzhou regiment training envoy.
It is easy for people to go from poverty to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to poverty.
Thinking of this, Liu Ang was ready to die.
Liu Ang was worried and couldn't sleep all night. Naturally, he had panda eyes the next day.
The next day, while he was doing nothing, he saw some people coming.
Where these people came from, he had no idea.
Could it be that he is from Jintang County? It would be great if he is from Jintang County.
But at first glance, these people don't look like the short stature of Sichuan people. They are all tall and strong.
They were silently demolishing the remaining broken walls with axes and hoes.
Next to them were the Sichuan Protection Army and the security group, but there were not many of them.
Liu Ang wanted to know where these people were from, but no one paid him any attention.
He originally wanted to torture Zhaojiazhuang to death, so how could the Sichuan Army and the security group give him a good look?
"Thieves match the army, thieves match the army." Liu Ang really wanted these people to kneel down, but who was such a person?
Their master is Zhao Ping. Zhao Ping is the chief secretary of Chengdu Mansion and one of Liu Ang's immediate superiors.
Zhao Ping is also famous for protecting shortcomings. When the training envoy of the Changzhou regiment asked the three security guards to kneel down, Zhao Ping was unable to step down.
Changyuan County, as a county under the jurisdiction of Changzhou, naturally heard about this incident and had mixed opinions about it.
Except for Zhao Ping's teachers and friends, other literati's favorable impression of Zhao Ping has plummeted. You are a literati, why should you side with the vulgar martial artist.
If you want to protect your shortcomings, you should also protect the shortcomings of the literati. You are a literati.
Even when Zhao Pingyuan came to school in Changyuan County, his classmates had mixed reviews.
After all, Zhao Ping is the pride of their hearts, and he is excellent in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song.
If poetry is a trivial matter, once "War Theory" was published, it could be compared with few policy commentators in the world.
They had already thought too highly of Zhao Ping, but they did not expect that the release of "The Way of All Things" would push Zhao Ping to the status of a great master.
Not only did it unify Confucianism and Taoism, but it also included other things.
They read "The Way of All Things" repeatedly and strongly requested the teacher to explain it.
In fact, this is not only true for all schools in Changyuan County, but also for literati all over the world.
The "Da Song Zhonghua News" that published this issue of "The Way of All Things" once again pushed newspaper sales to a peak of 100,000 copies.
So much so that some people privately called Zhao Ping a little saint.
It's just that the little saint happened to mix with the thieves and the army, which made these scholars puzzled.
After all, the Song Dynasty governed the country with culture.
After all, Liu Ang was a scholar, so he looked at nature, and Zhao Ping was competing for water and poetry, but he thought it was just a trivial matter.
That's why he tried to suppress him. He didn't expect that the more Zhao Ping suppressed him, the greater the backlash would be.
Not only was he ejected from the actual position of power in Changyuan County, but now he was even ejected to Jintang County, a place where nothing matters.
Seeing that these people are obviously from the north, is that so?
He winked at the servant, and the servant found an opportunity to learn about it privately.
It turns out that these people are indeed Hu people. When did the Hu people become so honest?
These barbarians are working here so honestly and are not shackled, so why don't they take the opportunity to escape?
The Hu people looked at Liu Ang's master and servant with contempt. If Liu Ang was in charge of them, they would resist immediately, and they might even take him as a hostage.
But what is Zhao Ping? He is the God of Killing. Not only did he beat them into submission, but he also built a Jingguan outside Chengdu.
The key thing is that these people have the opportunity to join the security group or even the Sichuan Army.
How does Zhao Ping deal with his subordinates? I heard that Zhao Ping is the best protector of shortcomings in the world. Based on this, they will try their best to get in even if they break their heads.
But no, yesterday another group of people performed well and joined the security team.
Now with this hope, even if you drive them away with a whip, they will not leave.
Where in the world are there such masters with both civil and military skills and astonishing wealth?
They were a little unconvinced at first about how Zhao Ping defeated them.
After all, Zhao Ping won through sneak attacks.
People who fail naturally have to find reasons for themselves.
Of course, rational people not only find reasons for themselves, but also analyze the reasons why their opponents win.
The more the Hu people knew about Zhao Ping's opponent, the more surprised they became.
Zhao Ping was not only a court minister with both civil and military skills, but he also had the most profitable workshop in the world.
He has money, status, ability, and is a world-famous young man. Where can he find such a man?
The Hu people were truly convinced at this time. They were not thinking of escaping, but were trying to find ways to join the security group.
Zhao Ping felt that the green bamboo was strange during these times. Zhao Ping couldn't tell what was strange, but he just felt this way in his heart.
On this day, Zhao Ping finally knew that the answer was about to be revealed.
Cuizhu hesitated for a while, took advantage of an opportunity to be alone, and found Zhao Ping privately, asking Zhao Ping to go over and discuss something.
Zhao Ping wondered in his heart that this little lady had grown up and had her own worries.
The two came to Zhao Ping's secret room. In addition to Zhao Ping, this room is Cuizhu. It can be said that it is Cuizhu's territory.
Others, including Wang Guo'er and Zhao Long, also need Cuizhu's permission before they can come in.
Fortunately, she turned out to be my personal maid and knew how to share the secret with her.
"Young gentleman, can you please stop calling me Cuizhu? Besides, I'm not a bamboo either."
Cuizhu knew that she was favored by Zhao Ping, so even a servant would not be humble and directly talked about me.
Zhao Ping found it funny. He still called her Cuizhu, so he teased her and said, "If not Cuizhu, what would you call her?"
Cuizhu carefully took out a black lacquered wooden box and found a yellowed piece of paper.
Zhao Ping took the piece of paper and looked at it. On it were Cuizhu's birth date and her name "Shao Mengting".
It turned out that this was her real name, and Cuizhu was a nickname randomly chosen by her mother when she bought her.
My mother originally liked bamboos, so she got one for her.
This is the origin of her nickname Cuizhu. Unexpectedly, Cuizhu became so smooth that she found it difficult to accept her real name.
This is how people are. Once actions, thoughts, thoughts, words, expressions, behaviors, etc. become habits, it is difficult to change them.
Zhao Ping is not a saint, but still.
Zhao Ping looked at her carefully and asked in surprise: "Cuizhu, why did you tell me your name?"
Cuizhu lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes shyly, not daring to raise her head and whispered, "I used to think it was not the right time."
Zhao Ping thought for a while and finally understood the reason why she told him her name.
After all, she used to think of herself as a little maid and never dared to tell her her real name.
Now that she was successful and famous, she was already the leader of the nurse camp of the Song Dynasty, and she was immediately recognized by the court.
What kind of signal does she want to convey by telling her her real name now?
