Chapter 408: Loving Concubines for Horses

Mrs. Cao had just finished eating the yokan and was leaning on the bed reading a book, and she was somewhat surprised to hear that Cao Miao had come to see her.

Being on the Chang'an ship, there are eyes everywhere, Cao Miao should avoid suspicion, what is the important thing, I have to say it now?

Even though she thought so, she still got up in her clothes. Others said that Cao Miao had a madness, but she knew in her heart that it was just an excuse for Cao Miao to hide people's eyes, and he knew it in his heart. If you have to do it as a last resort, you will never make a mistake for no reason.

Putting on her clothes and pulling her hair simply, Mrs. Cao asked her personal maid to call Cao Miao in.

After a while, Cao Miao walked in and knelt against the hatch. Ah Hu followed behind him, his head hanging down, and there were tears on his face.

Mrs. Cao's eyes flashed slightly, waved her hand, and motioned for the maid to go out. The maid went out, closed the hatch, and stood outside. Ah Hu hesitated and quietly tugged at the corner of Cao Miao's clothes. Cao Miao didn't move. Mrs. Cao saw it clearly, and said softly: "Ah Hu, you also go out." ”

Ah Hu looked at Cao Miao. Cao Miao nodded. Ah Hu bowed his head in response, opened the hatch and went out, then closed the hatch again, and stood outside the hatch. At this time, Mrs. Cao's voice came from the cabin, asking the maid to take Ah Hu to eat something. The maid understood and led Ah Hu away.

Cao Miao didn't move. From Mrs. Cao's actions, he knew that he had come to the right place.

When he was thinking about the events related to Shi Caiying and Ah Hu just now, he suddenly thought of a question, Mrs. Cao may know some inside information.

The reason is very simple, Mrs. Cao is in a suspicious place, she has always been cautious, and it is unlikely that she will accept a strange orchid as a maid because of a bowl of yokan, and take her on the Chang'an ship.

The Chang'an ship is Sun Quan's seat ship? Can stay on the ship of the rich or expensive? In case something happens, Mrs. Cao will not be able to escape suspicion. In a situation where more is better than less? Madame Cao won't let anyone with potential risks show up here? Shi Caiying must have some kind of reason for Mrs. Cao to believe in her and take her on the Chang'an ship.

This reason is most likely related to Ah Hu.

He took Ah Hu into the cabin? It's temptation. Mrs. Cao didn't say anything, and asked the maid to take Ah Hu to eat something? Naturally received a hint from him? But he didn't want Ah Hu to know the inside story, so he deliberately broke him away.

"Auntie, who is Ah Hu?" Cao Miao took two steps forward, only one case away from Mrs. Cao.

Madame Cao shook her head. "Didn't you ask your father? He should know better than I do. I'm just a little skeptical? I can't count them. ”

"Who did my aunt think of?"

Mrs. Cao sighed? fell into deep thought, as if he had returned to the old days, with a shallow smile on his face. After a while, she retracted her thoughts and whispered, "Yunliang? What other impressions do you have of your son, Uncle Wen? ”

Cao Miao blinked, shocked in her heart. Ah Hu is Cao Zhang's species? So? It can explain his innate divine power. Cao Zhi's generation, the strongest force is Cao Zhang? The most significant point is that the strength is great, so great that it is not like a human being.

"Not impressed? Only a little vague impression. ”

"Your Uncle Wen has had a lot of orchids around him? One of them? Favored by your uncle and legendary in origin, she was once an assassin who wanted to assassinate your eldest father, Emperor Wu, but was defeated by your son, Uncle Wen. She fought with your Uncle Wen for a long time, and finally became your Uncle Wen's maidservant. ”

"What is this man's name and where is he now?"

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly." Mrs. Cao waved her hand and signaled Cao Miao not to worry. "What her name is, I really don't know, I vaguely remember that she has a Chinese name, the surname is very rare, and the poem of poetry. This person has a stubborn personality, different from other maids, and later because of an incident, he had a big quarrel with your Uncle Wen, and he never saw her again. ”

"When, and for what?"

"I can't remember the exact time, I didn't experience it, I just heard about it. At that time, I was already married to Jiangdong, it should be ......" Mrs. Cao thought carefully. "About 20 years after Jian'an."

Cao Miao counted with her fingers. If Ah Hu's age is true, he should have been born in the nineteenth year of Jian'an, which coincides with this point in time.

"Your son Uncle Wen is melancholy by nature, and he is good at martial arts, and he loves good horses above love beauties. Once, he fell in love with a horse, but the other party refused to sell it, so he exchanged it for a beautiful concubine. The other party fell in love with the orchid at a glance. Your Uncle Ziwen agreed, and the orchid was furious, and had a big fight with your Uncle Ziwen, killing the horse and leaving. ”

Mrs. Cao said with a smile: "I was in Jiangdong at the time, and the reason why I knew about this incident was that there were good people who wrote this incident into lyrics and sang it everywhere. The name is "Love Concubine for Horse", and some people still sing it. ”

Cao Miao was speechless. This Cao Zhang is really a son's temper, and he doesn't treat people as people. But it's nothing, people in this era are like this, concubines are objects, and they can be given as gifts at any time.

"Auntie has seen that orchid?"

"I've met once. I don't remember anything else, but her eyes. Ah Hu's eyes are almost exactly the same as hers, and the first time I saw Ah Hu, I felt familiar. Later, an orchid came to me and claimed to be a poet, the same family as the orchid next to your son, Uncle Wen. I immediately remembered the orchid, but I thought she was a minister of governance, and now I know that she is a poem of poetry. ”

"Shi Caiying, it's the orchid who makes yokan for you."

"You know?"

"She is my dark chun, also known as Miaoqin, and there is also a person named Xuanqi, who is out of Fuyu Changshengtang with the Zhishu and Picturesque around me."

Mrs. Cao was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly. "I see. That's right. ”

"She didn't tell you that?"

"No, she just said that Ah Hu is the blood of your son Uncle Wen. She was ordered to protect her secretly, hoping that it would be convenient for me. Mrs. Cao looked at Cao Miao and said in a low voice, "Is she the assassin who entered Wuchang Palace to assassinate the Supreme?" ”

Cao Miao nodded.

"You're so daring." Madame Cao sighed. "If I had known that, I shouldn't have let Pepin see you."

Cao Miao was silent for a moment, took a step back, and fell to the ground. "Please rest assured. If something happens, I will definitely not implicate my aunt and Pepin. ”

"Can you do it?"

"I did my best. But ......" Cao Miao hesitated. "I want to ask my aunt a word, okay?"

"You say."

"In case things are not harmonious and I can't gain a foothold in Jiangdong, is my aunt willing to go to sea with Peping and me?"

Mrs. Cao's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. "Are you really the son of my brother? If he had the courage of you, why did he do this? ”

Cao Miao was speechless. To say that this woman's intuition is really powerful, strictly speaking, he is really not that Cao Miao.

"Auntie, you just said that my father should know about this?"

Mrs. Cao laughed silently. "This is true, Ah Hu is really the bloodline of your son Uncle Wen, do you think your father will not know?"
