If you go west to Qinjia Manor, you can see the Mingdu River.

The water of Mingdu River has dried up and rose, it is rainy this summer and the water is abundant. On both sides of the river, the wheat fields are then bean fields. No matter how the scenery in the countryside changes, it still makes people feel unchanged, because people who can be seen in the pastoral areas are always those who work as farmers.

Today is different. Zhongzhengguan and his group of people from Pingyuan County came to visit the Qin family, and they also had colleagues from Qin Sheng who had been in the official temple. During the banquet, there were signs of prosperity and lively on the manor.

The guests brought a message that the general had sent good officials and was about to come down to hire Qin Liang. All the guests who visited gave gifts, and everyone still did not forget to congratulate him when they parted. The manor was surrounded by a festive atmosphere, just like celebrating the festival.

The Qin family saw the guests off to the manor a mile away, and stopped by the Mingdu River. Because there were female relatives among the guests, even Zhang came. The host and the guest bowed to each other until the guests' carriages left, and the host still stood there and watched. The attentive and reluctant feeling was all in it.

Zhang looked into the distance, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he sighed without turning his head: "How long has it been since I met Luo? I'm afraid it's two years? I didn't even bother to say a few more words today."

Qin Sheng's voice said, "Look at it's raining, let's go back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Liang felt a little cold on his face and raindrops fell in the sky. As expected, his sister-in-law immediately complained: "I really say anything."

Qin Sheng didn't say anything. Although his elder brother had worked as a military officer in the county and had a figure, he was a stern person and sometimes even acted too calmly. Perhaps this was because his sister-in-law Zhang was very good at speaking, but the couple didn't quarrel.

It happened that there was a straw shed pavilion by the river, and a few people rushed over to hide from the rain. Unexpectedly, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and gradually became like a dump, and a rumbling thunder came faintly from the distance.

Zhang's voice said: "This is the last one this year."

Qin Shengdao: "Wait a minute, the people in the village will send umbrellas."

The couple chatted without saying a word, but Qin Liang didn't say anything. He stared at the river flowing on the river. Later, he didn't pay attention to what his brother and sister-in-law said.

"Erlang." The voice of his sister-in-law calling him made him come to his senses.

"Ah?" Qin Liang turned his head to look at his sister-in-law.

Zhang smiled in his eyes: "Are you unhappy?" Her appearance was a bit concerned and a bit pleasing. In the past, Qin Liang didn't dare to expect it.

When she saw Qin Liang shook her head, she immediately asked with kind words, "I see, you are worried recently, so what can you say at home?"

Qin Liang didn't say anything, not knowing where to start. He wanted to say that it was dangerous to follow Cao Shuang and would be involved in the future, but it was very strange to say such things, so he had to give up. After all, Cao Shuang is in power now, and ordinary people can't see the danger at all, so it would be too troublesome to explain.

What's more, Qin Liang can no longer refuse Cao Shuang's enlistment. Otherwise, the unknown Zhongchang family in the next county might have a way to make the Qin family go to waste. No matter what, when they are weak and not rich, no one will easily capsize in the gutter.

"Is there really something wrong?" Zhang's voice said again. When Qin Liang looked up, she saw that her smile had not faded, and her eyes were all on Qin Liang's face. Although Zhang was illiterate, his eyes were very vivid and there was no sense of ignorance. As long as she was looked at, Qin Liang could feel the tangible look, and occasionally even felt a little uncomfortable.

Qin Liang did not look at him, but still looked at the river. He could no longer remain silent, so he could only ponder: "Come against the current, if you don't move forward, you will retreat. As long as you get offshore and get on the boat, you will be involuntarily and you will never stop."

Zhang turned his head and looked at the leaves floating on the river and said, "You can just change the topic and don't want to tell your sister-in-law."

Fortunately, now, if Qin Liang had such an attitude a few months ago, his sister-in-law would have been unhappy again, and it would be inevitable that she would make a few sarcasm.

Several people were talking while waiting for a while, and sure enough, two figures came from the white rain curtain, probably the one who gave the rain gear. When they approached, Qin Liang saw clearly that it was Dong and her sick husband Wang Kang. Wang Kang had a thin face and no blood on his face, but he could walk by himself. Last time he saw him lying on the bed.

The two of them brought umbrellas and bent down to pay their respects. Wang Kang said to Qin Liang: "My condition has improved recently and I came to thank him. I heard that Erlang and others have already sent their guests out, so I waited under the eaves. Suddenly it started to rain heavily, and I rushed to deliver rain gear."

Zhang said: "At last there is a smarter person."

"My dedication to me," Wang Kang turned around and said.

Qin Liang nodded and said, "You can get better, it's a joy to congratulate you."

Wang Kang sighed: "If it weren't for Erlang's relief, I would be in a difficult situation, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive."

Although the elder brother is the lord of the manor and is older, Wang Kang and Qin Liang said more, and on the way back, he unconsciously walked beside Qin Liang. Wang Kang took the initiative to ask: "The general sent an envoy to hire Erlang. When will Erlang get up and enter Beijing?"

When Qin Liang heard this, he immediately realized that everyone around him thought that he would definitely accept the sect and had never considered the option of rejection. Including his brother and sister-in-law, he did not ask Qin Liang about his wishes after hearing the news, and was ready to make him become an official.

However, Qin Liang has considered it again and again a while ago, maybe there is only this way at the moment. Thinking about this, he even felt a little self-deprecating. The same clan of the minister who lost power, the relative of Cao Cao's stepson, and Qin Liang's identity, only Cao Shuang can still look at him. Cao Shuang did not dislike him, but he was a little disliked Cao Shuang?

Qin Liang sighed inwardly and responded casually: "After the envoy arrives at Pingyuan County and receives it, I will follow you to Beijing."

Wang Kang asked again: "When will the messenger arrive?"

Qin Liang turned his head and looked at him, "I don't know yet, but there are so many people in the place that have news, I don't think I can wait for a few days."

At the same time, Qin Liang saw Dong next to him and noticed that Dong's eyes were very sad, and there was vague pain. Wang Kang was talking here, but Dong almost didn't say anything, but the emotions in her eyes were very obvious.

Wang Kang said: "If Erlang does not abandon him, I will follow Erlang to the capital with Zhujing."

Qin Liang turned around again, his face facing Wang Kang, but he couldn't help but observe Dong's subtle expression. At this time, she raised her head and looked at Qin Liang without any concealment, and the expectation seemed to be rekindled.

Qin Liang thought for a while and said, "What should I do if Lingtang?"

Wang Kang said: "Please ask Qin to withdraw some food regularly and ask the neighbors to take care of it. I wish to follow Erlang and serve him with all my heart to repay Erlang's kindness."

"That's OK." Qin Liang nodded simply.

The only one who is closest to Qin Liang on the manor is Rao Dashan, Wang Kang. Although Rao Dashan is powerful, he is ignorant and sometimes has no patience. Wang Kang is good at literacy and looks more meticulous. When he comes to Luoyang in the future, he is not familiar with the place, and multiple helpers may not be a bad thing.

Dong, who was behind, naturally endured the surprise. But Qin Liang found that Wang Kang was also very happy, and there seemed to be a lot of joy on his thin face. Just how could he be so happy if he repays his kindness?

The group had already walked through the earthen wall of the manor and didn't say anything for a while. However, the sound of rain covered everything, and the silence did not seem abrupt. Qin Liang's wooden-sole and cowhide shoes were covered with mud, and the hard linen clothes were soaked by the rain, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

At this moment, Qin Liang suddenly came to his senses and suddenly realized, as if he understood Wang Kang's mood.

The farmer who works in the manor works all year round will be taken away (the government collects taxes and looks for the owner of the manor), and is barely enough to make a living, but is actually a serf; ordinary farmer customers are better than farmers and will receive some extra rewards, but they are also limited in their good health. Moreover, Wang Kang has not been in good health in recent years and lives are not easy. But if Wang Kang can follow Qin Liang, who is an official in the future, the burden of life will obviously be greatly reduced.

Such a small improvement can make a person feel satisfied and happy. Wang Kang's optimistic attitude also infected Qin Liang.

Now that the world is so strict, Qin Liang can at least directly enter the eyes of those in power. If you become an official, what else can you feel depressed? No matter what, Cao Shuang should not be able to fall into the past few years, so Qin Liang will not be too sad at least in the past few years. After all, it will be difficult to live a hundred years in a chaotic world.

After thinking about it, Qin Liang even felt that this was not a complete dead end.

In the Great Wei Kingdom, his background can almost determine his future. With Qin Liang's identity, if he wants to make a difference and does not want to come to the Three Kingdoms for nothing, Cao Shuang is almost the only remaining opportunity for Qin Liang.

As for the future, there is no other possibility. For example, Cao Shuang turns defeat into victory? But Qin Liang thought for a while and found it difficult, otherwise Cao Shuang shouldn't have been involved in the previous life-care ministers when Emperor Ming Cao Rui died. Qin Liang thought again, no matter what, as long as he can be promoted to a certain position before Cao Shuang's demise, things may still have a turnaround?

Before he knew it, the group had already walked into the manor and arrived at the downstairs of the house gate. Qin Liang put down the umbrella and hung it under the eaves. Zhang said in his voice: "Has Erlang figured it out?"

"Ah?" Qin Liang was confused. He met Zhang's gaze and came back to his senses after a moment, and immediately smiled, "There is nothing I can't figure it out."

At this time, Zhang's voice said again: "The more I look at you recently, the more I feel that you are different from before."

Qin Liang said in a joke: "That's because my sister-in-law didn't care about me before."

Zhang made a sound from between his teeth and cursed: "I have no conscience. I have been washing and cooking for you for so many years."
