At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"He Bo has appeared!"

"He Bo sent fish to Dalang!"

"He Bo knows Dalang's filial piety!"

Such shouts came one after another, and some people among the crowd watching for a while actually knelt directly on the river bank and prayed to the "He Bo" in the river.

This kind of thing is obviously not within the reach of human beings, it must be He Bo's manifestation, otherwise why would there be so many fish gathered in that hole?

"Brother, is it really He Bo's spirit?"

Cao Ren looked at Guo Peng in surprise.

"Probably... yes?"

Guo Peng also looked at Cao Ren with a look of surprise, and then they both knelt on the edge of the ice pit. Xiao Cao Chun was slow to react and was dragged by Cao Ren to kneel down together.

"Guo Peng, Yingchuan, thank you Uncle He for giving the fish. Uncle He will never forget the grace of Uncle He who gave the fish!"

Then Guo Peng bowed three times to the ice pit.

Cao Ren and Cao Chun also followed Guo Peng to worship three times.

After some tossing, Guo Peng and Cao Ren brothers dragged a net of fish, cleaned up the surrounding area, and walked to the river bank.

When he arrived at the river bank, Guo Peng smiled and wiped away his tears as he faced the elders and villagers who came forward to greet him.

"I'm fine, it's not cold at all, but...but thanks to Hebo's gift of fish, my mother...she finally got fish to eat..."

Guo Peng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his cold, red hands.

Brother Cao Ren was moved by what he said and couldn't help but redden his eyes.

Then he followed him, dragging many fishes away slowly.

Many people moved by Guo Peng couldn't help but follow him back.

The flow of people followed Guo Peng from the east of the county seat back to the county seat. At the door of the house, Guo Peng saw his father, Guo Dan, standing at the door of the house.

Guo Dan also saw Guo Peng, the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun who were with him, and many people behind Guo Peng.

"Father."

Guo Peng bowed to Guo Dan.

"Uncle Shi."

Cao Ren and Cao Chun's brothers also saluted Guo Dan.

Guo Dan nodded slightly.

"My father thought you were talking big, but I didn't expect that you actually... really got so many fish. How did you do it?"

Guo Dan looked surprised.

"Uncle Shi, it was Uncle He who gave the fish! Uncle He was moved by the filial piety of the eldest brother and gave the fish to the eldest brother. Otherwise, how could we have gotten so many fish?"

Cao Ren said to Guo Dan with a serious face.

Guo Dan was even more surprised.

"He Bo... He Bo appeared to give a fish?"

He seemed a little unconvinced: "You can't talk nonsense, how can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?"

"It's true, Xianzun, we have all seen it!"

A voice sounded from the crowd behind Guo Peng.

With the lead, such voices come and go.

"I saw it too!"

"Yes, the county magistrate, we have all seen it!"

"I saw!"

………………

With so many people testifying to Guo Peng, Guo Dan could not think that everyone was lying for Guo Peng together, so there is only one conclusion - Guo Peng did not lie, the matter is true.

Then someone told Guo Dan that Guo Peng had been busy catching fish since the day before yesterday. Obviously, Guo Dan just found out.

Seeing so many fresh fish alive, Guo Dan's lips trembled slightly, and his expression changed a little.

"In such a cold day, you went to the river to chisel ice? Such thick ice, you..."

"Uncle Shi, that ice layer was pierced by the eldest brother. The two of us are just the last to help the leader. In the past few days, the eldest brother has all been starved and frozen on the ice to chisel ice, just for the sake of illness. The lady wants to eat fish."

Cao Ren was very angry for Guo Peng, because everyone knew that Guo Dan's wife, Guo Peng's stepmother, was not good to Guo Peng.

And Guo Dan didn't say anything about it.

After hearing such words, Guo Dan looked very touched. He couldn't help walking down the steps and came to Guo Peng. Purple lips and bluish complexion, the eye sockets are gradually moist.

Then he took Guo Peng into his arms.

"Because of my father... I blame you for my father's fault, Xiaoyi, it's all my father's fault, I'm busy with official duties for my father, and I didn't notice... It's my father's fault..."

Guo Dan shed tears of remorse, while Guo Peng cuddled in his father's arms. This touching scene of father and son clearing up the misunderstanding made everyone present feel warm.

Cao Ren and Cao Chun also felt the same way. They felt that Guo Peng's long hard days had finally come to an end.

The eldest brother is benevolent and pure, he doesn't say a word when he is wronged, and he doesn't defend himself in the face of scolding.

Guo Peng's filial piety has made Cao Ren and Cao Chun feel that they are too naughty and disobey their parents.

After that, the touching scene of father and son reuniting came to an end, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun did not want to disturb this touching scene, so they said goodbye to Guo Dan and Guo Peng and his son in front of the Guo Mansion, and left here with their entourage.

After that, the servants of the Guo family went out and carried all the fresh fish and utensils away. The two father and son entered the Guo mansion together and closed the mansion door.

"Xiao Yi, you have done a great job. You really deserve to be your father's son. I didn't expect you to actually persevere. I thought you would not be able to persevere in such a cold day as a father."

Guo Dan patted Guo Peng on the shoulder and was very satisfied with Guo Peng's performance.

"Father is too famous, it's all for our Guo family."

Guo Peng said expressionlessly.

Half a year ago, in order to improve his reputation and cooperate with Guo Dan's overall plan, Guo Peng proposed to Guo Dan an action plan of "Lying on Ice for Carp 2.0" after his own thinking and revision.

PS: The release of the new book requires a lot of support from everyone. If you like it, please vote for collection~

Chapter 3. The Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety

Guo Peng came up with this action plan after some thinking and simulation exercises.

He felt that the original plan of lying on the ice for carp was too rough, it was too easy to be seen as a fake, and the face was not too good, so he was not satisfied.

So Guo Peng improved it in line with the surrounding environment of Qiao County, and then told Guo Dan about the improved plan of "Lying on Ice for Carp 2.0".

Guo Dan was overjoyed and was very satisfied with Guo Peng. He used his resources to help Guo Peng complete this action plan, and also spent half a year laying the groundwork and disseminating some relevant news.

Now it seems that the effect should be very good. After completing this plan in front of people's eyes, and then sending people to spread it out, the reputation of "Pure Filial Piety" cannot be escaped.

These days, if you want to become an official, don't even think about being "filial", and don't even think about it if you don't have enough reputation. Everyone is racking their brains on how to make themselves famous and make their reputation of filial piety spread far and wide.

In this regard, Guo Peng has an advantage.

Starting from the story of lying on ice and seeking carp, he still has dozens of excellent planning schemes to choose from. These schemes have been tested by time and history, and they are the winning schemes after the big waves.

Cooperating with the purchased water army and the unidentified tap water, Guo Peng felt that these plans could definitely achieve the expected results.

It's just that he felt that the plan of lying on the ice and seeking carp was easier to implement, easier to operate, and suited to his current situation, so he chose this plan.

Guo Dan will naturally cooperate with him fully.

He is quite satisfied with his son.

"Yes, it's all for our Guo family. Our family originally lived in Yingchuan. Your grandfather also served as the prefect of Wuyuan, but now as a father, you can only be the county magistrate of Qiao County, and there is no hope of promotion. After that, we arrived. In your generation, I'm afraid you can't even be an official."

Guo Dan said this, looking at Guo Peng with some guilt, and said slowly: "So, if you want to do this, my father didn't stop you. Learn to be a boy boy, if you do this, you will have a way to go in the future."

Guo Peng nodded.

"The father's consideration, the son knows, the son also wants to share his father's worries and contribute to our family."

Guo Dan sighed deeply.

"Since your grandfather, our family is like being sent out. Neither your father nor you have been able to learn the family biography "Little Dulu". Fortunately, your grandfather worked hard and copied and left a "Gongyang". , Only if you are a father can you read the scriptures, you can be filial and honest, and only then can the scriptures be passed on to you.

And you have an excellent memory, you can never forget it, and you are very happy as a father. Xiaoyi, you have to remember that the Yingchuan family treats us harshly, and we are powerless to resist, but if we have enough scriptures, we may not be able to stand up. Guo's sect!

Our ancestors of the Guo family were only small officials in a district, and they made their fortunes because of their excellent knowledge and mastery of scriptures. Today, the family is not as good as before, but in any case, as a father, you will be sent to Taixue, and you need to record more scriptures. , become my family heirloom, you know? "

Facing Guo Dan's almost obsessive expectation, Guo Peng just nodded silently.

"Understood, father, son will set up Guo's sect as the goal, enter Taixue, study hard, master scriptures to make a fortune!"

"it is good!"

Guo Dan was full of excitement, and said: "In this way, you will not ignore the sacrifices your mother and I made for you. If you can make a fortune, what if you have some doubts?"

Shao Qing, Guo Dan was a little worried.

"However, now that the eunuchs are in power in the court, they favor the eunuchs, and they run the party, and it is hard to count on the decline of the family. They will not care about you and my father and son at all. As a father, there are few connections. There may be hidden dangers, if you blame the father, the father...you have nothing to say."

"Father."

Guo Peng immediately said: "The son will never blame the father. The father has tried his best for the son's way out. How can the son blame the father?"

"Little B..."

Guo Dan pursed his lips and said slowly, "The Cao clan has made a fortune by relying on eunuchs to make a fortune, and several people in the family rely on eunuchs to be high-ranking officials in the court. Luo Yang walks around for you, and with your fame and talent, Tong Zilang is as stable as Mount Tai.

It's just that although Cao Teng has a good reputation, Cao's family is a turbid after all. Although he is a powerful party, he is not accommodated by the scholars. Now the party is not bad. If the party is lifted one day in the future, after all, the scholars will rule. This identity I am afraid that it will affect your career, and I am really worried about being a father. "

Guo Peng shook his head.

"Father, do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Now there is only one way before you and my father and son. If you don't go, you can only continue to sink. Whether it is a scholar or not, it is difficult for a son to be filial and honest. I want to, and I don't want to."

Guo Dan looked at Guo Peng's firm face, sighed deeply, and then nodded.

"It's my family's blessing to have a son like this, Xiao Yi, the future of our Guo family depends on you."

Guo Peng nodded, indicating that he knew.

Guo Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and took Guo Peng to the inner hall, where he saw his step-wife Yang.

Yang shi was weeping in the inner hall.

"why are you crying?"

Guo Dan was very unhappy when he saw Yang shi weeping.

"Just now, I saw the servants bring back a lot of fresh fish."

Yang said, and continued to cry.

"so what?"

Guo Dan sat impatiently beside the Yang family: "Didn't I tell you everything I'm going to do? This is for the future of the Guo family, what's a little doubt?"

Mrs Yang cried and said: "My husband and Dalang have gained fame, but I, an innocent woman, have to be criticized for treating the eldest son harshly. How can I treat Dalang so harshly? Now outsiders don't know how to criticize me, I... …”

Then he burst into tears again.

While crying, he looked at Guo Peng with resentful eyes.

Guo Peng stood in the hall, expressionless, as if he had never heard anything.

And Guo Yiyi got angry when he heard this.

"Ignorant stupid woman! How many times have I told you! This is for the Guo family, for the Guo family! If the Guo family is prosperous, you will have a good life! If Xiaoyi can't be a boy, can't raise Xiaolian and can't be an official , When I die, who will support you? What do you eat? What do you drink? Where do you live?"

Yang was stunned by Guo Yidan's roar, and he didn't dare to cry. He couldn't sit still, and he fell to the ground with a shake.

Guo Dan gave a fierce "hum" and left.

It took a while for Yang to react, and she burst into tears.
