Chapter 411: Weighing the Elephant
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the night is spring.
People with an emotional foundation live together, and they will have a natural smile on their faces when they get up every day.
Zhen Mi is like this.
In the early morning, she woke up with a smile, and Wang Xiao last night made her very satisfied.
"Husband?" Zhen Mi, who still had the color of begonia spring sleep on her face, woke up and found that there was no one around her, and shouted helplessly.
Wang Xiao, who was whispering with the eyeliner he had arranged outside the door, immediately waved to let people leave after hearing it. He himself took the plate aside and returned to the house.
Cao Cao, Cao Pi and them all arranged eyeliner by Wang Xiao's side.
Since they can do the first year of junior high school, Wang Xiao will definitely be able to return the fifteenth. So he also cultivated henchmen and placed them in important places as eyeliner.
The reason why he was so anxious to report to Wang Xiao at this time was that Cao Pi, who woke up with a hangover in the morning, always felt that something was wrong, so he went to find Sima Yi, who was feeding the horses.
Sima Yi clearly told Cao Pi that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was using him as a whetstone to sharpen Wang Xiao's heart.
Whether it is the importance of this period of time, or the high-profile marriage with the family gate valve. In essence, it is just a show performed by the prime minister himself.
When Cao Pi heard this, he was like being struck by lightning.
He is not stupid himself, and he also faintly understands this possibility in his heart.
It's just that when people have hope, they will subconsciously choose to think about good things. So he pretended he didn't know.
Now that it is broken by Sima Yi, it is naturally a major blow.
Fortunately, Sima Yi was quick to say that this was actually an opportunity. If Cao Pi can seize the opportunity and make this fake show real, he will also have a chance to turn the tables.
It was like a drowning man grasping at a straw, and Cao Pi immediately shouted that Mr. Teach me. In this regard, Sima Yi was supported.
The meticulous work arranged by Cao Pi's side hurriedly came over to inform Wang Xiao of these things.
In addition, there is also a small episode, that is, Guo Zhaolai met Cao Pi when he sent something to Sima Yi.
Knowing his identity, Cao Pi wanted to collect it, so as to strengthen his bond with Sima Yi.
Guo Zhao is the sister-in-law of Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua, if Cao Pi accepts her, the two will become brothers-in-law. Similar to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's.
And Guo Zhao's response was to directly slap Cao Pi, who was caught off guard.
left a sentence of Dengzi, and left in a huff.
"How innocent the disciples are."
Zhen Mi asked curiously, "What did the husband say?" ”
Wang Xiao, who was sitting on the bed, smiled and handed over the bowl in his hand, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about a poor person who was ridiculed and humiliated by a handsome guy." Hurry up and eat. ”
Married life is actually very dull.
For Wang Xiao, who was born in the modern world, in this world where there is no network and no mobile phone, and he can't turn on the black and can't eat chicken. Every day is to go to the school office to deal with official business, and come back in the evening to play chess and play the piano with Zhen Mi, and compose a concerto of love.
Fortunately, he has been in this era all year round, and he has already adapted to it mentally.
The days are so ordinary, but the outside world is not really unwavering.
Cao Pi became more and more high-profile, coupled with Cao Cao's intentional or unintentional fueling. made a big noise, as if he had really become the prime minister's son.
For these, Wang Xiao behaved very low-key, as if this kind of thing had nothing to do with him.
Wang Xiao's work and rest are regular, and he either goes to the school or the mansion every day. At most, he made an appointment with Guo Zhao when he was resting, or went to his alchemy dojo.
In addition, let alone contacting the minister and seeking the support of the family. He hadn't even been to the most hardcore Yang Xiu Mansion.
If there is an Internet in this era, then everyone will give Wang Xiao a term, otaku.
Even, even Zhen Mi was a little anxious.
"Husband, I heard that the second son's side has been very popular recently." Zhen Mi picked up a chess piece and landed on the chessboard, "How is the husband going to deal with it?" ”
Wang Xiao followed up and fell, and responded without raising his head, "Look at him rising a tall building, watching him feast guests, watching his building collapse." ”
Zhen Mi said that she couldn't understand, "What does this mean?" ”
That means that the more happy I am now. After that, the bad luck will be even more miserable. Leave him alone. ”
In this era, almost all women who can become wives are virtuous helpers, and they wholeheartedly want to help their husbands get ahead.
Zhen Mi was dissatisfied with Wang Xiao's perfunctory attitude, and casually left a son, "You are really, as if what you said is not your business." If the second son really becomes a big deal, then what should you and I do in the future. ”
"How's that good?"
Wang Xiao smiled and landed in his eyes, "Your big dragon was trapped by me, and I won this game." ”
His chess skills are average, and when he plays chess with smart women, he usually loses more and wins less.
But Zhen Mi's chess skills are better than him, which makes Wang Xiao finally find the happiness of abusing vegetables.
The woman laughed angrily, grabbed a chess piece and still on the chessboard, "Is it really important to play chess now?" Doesn't the husband have more important things to do? ”
Wang Xiao rubbed his chin, thought for a while and said, "There really is." Now that we are married, we have to think about the children. That's the most important thing right now. ”
Zhen Mi, who was picked up directly by Wang Xiao and walked to the house, was really a little crying and laughing.
Outside, Cao Pi was pressing step by step, but Wang Xiao was like no one else, thinking about Fang Yan all day long. It never falls every day.
However, Wang Xiao mentioned the child, which is also something that Zhen Mi values now.
"Husband, if you have children. What is the name of the husband? ”
"If it's a boy, it's better to call Cao Rong."
For Cao Pi's continuous movements, it is impossible for Wang Xiao not to have the slightest reaction.
It's just that his way of coping with it is not to carry it back.
When Cao Pi married Chen Lin's daughter, he officially received the support of many famous families, and his momentum reached its peak, and even some began to flutter. His woe is also approaching.
Sun Quan of Eastern Wu suppressed Jiaozhi too Shou Shixie. Let the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Ninan nominally return to the name of the Han family.
Well, back in this era, the South Vietnamese side was actually the territory of China. It was the land that Zulong and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty carved out.
He sent envoys with gifts from the south to ask for merit from the imperial court.
Among the many gifts that the people of the Central Plains have never seen, an elephant is the most eye-catching.
On this day, Cao Cao gathered everyone to see the elephants, and everyone was very curious about such a huge creature.
All kinds of looks, all kinds of discussions are constantly noisy.
Wang Xiao pulled Zhen Mi to stand on the periphery and whispered, acting extremely low-key.
However, his gaze fell on Cao Chong, the little prodigy who was left by Cao Cao from time to time.
That famous story, it's almost time to play out.
Cao Chong is Cao Cao's youngest son, he was born beautiful since he was a child, and he is very smart and clever and loved by Cao Cao. He also praised Cao Chong many times in front of everyone, and expressed his intention to let Cao Chong succeed him.
Cao Cao is also quite interesting. He has praised many people, and there are many who say that they intend to let so-and-so inherit his ambitions.
Listening a lot, Wang Xiao simply went in with his left ear and came out with his right ear. Just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
However, Cao Pi's side was obviously a little too involved.
It's like now, seeing Cao Chong spinning around in front of Cao Cao's much-loved favor.
Because of Wang Xiao's deliberate low-key during this period of time, Cao Pi, who was a little fluttering, subconsciously showed disgust and dislike.
Unfortunately, it was also seen by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and withdrew his gaze, looking sideways at Wang Xiao and Zhen Mi who were whispering on the periphery of the crowd not far away. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This guy called an elephant is really big enough." It is estimated that there must be a thousand catties. Who knows how much this elephant weighs? ”
Wang Xiao raised his head, smiled and lowered his gaze again, and continued to discuss the child's affairs with Zhen Mi.
Over there, Cao Pi stepped forward and wanted to perform, but he couldn't come up with a good way in his eagerness. In the end, I simply said to build a large scale to weigh.
Cao Cao was noncommittal, his gaze skipped over Wang Xiao and paused slightly, and then looked at Cao Zhang, "Ziwen, tell me how to weigh it?" ”
Cao Zhang has not been interested in dancing and writing since he was a child, and what he likes is swords, guns, swords, and halberds. He is also the existence with the highest force value of the Cao family.
Regarding Cao Cao's question, Cao Zhang's response was also very much in line with his character characteristics.
"Father, this is simple. Don't be as troublesome as the second brother said, just slaughter the elephant with a sword, cut it into pieces, and weigh it piece by piece. ”
When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing.
In order to weigh it, the only elephant was slaughtered, which was naturally a joke.
Only Cao Pi didn't laugh. Because Cao Zhang said something before, don't be as troublesome as the second brother said.
Cao Pi is a talented person. But the magnanimity is too small, simply put, there is no room for people.
He was standing beside Cao Cao, and the changes on his face were naturally clearly seen by Cao Cao. I was even more displeased.
Cao Cao glanced at Wang Xiao again and saw that he still didn't react in the slightest. was still chatting with Zhen Mi in full swing, and he was also angry in his heart.
You're both husband and wife, and you're tired of being together all day, where do you get so much to talk about!
Just as Cao Cao was about to take the roll call, Cao Chong, who was pale, next to him, said, "Father, I have a way to weigh this elephant." Ahem~~"
"Oh?"
Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed, "Chong'er is smart, let's talk about it." ”
Over there, Zhen Mi finally stopped discussing the child, and asked in Wang Xiao's ear in a whisper, "Does the husband have a method of weighing?" ”
"Little things."
Wang Xiao laughed, and whispered in Zhen Mi's ear, "Just replace the elephant with something that can be weighed." See the big boat in the river over there? All you need is a boat, an elephant, and stones as heavy as an elephant. ”
Over there, Cao Chong had already asked the elephant trainer to lead the elephant to the riverside and beckoned the big boat in the river to come. It took a lot of effort to get the elephant onto the boat.
On the calm water, a mark is carved along the horizontal line of the hull.
After that, the elephant was disembarked from the boat with great difficulty, and the sergeants were asked to carry the stones onto the ship until the ship sank to the position it had previously described.
To this extent, basically everyone has understood and praised Cao Chong's intelligence.
Cao Cao laughed and habitually said, "Chong'er is like me." ”
Over there, Zhen Mi's big eyes flashed brightly, looking at Wang Xiao with admiration.
"Husband is amazing."
