7. Guo Peng, who has courage
As soon as Xu Shao said this, Cao Cao's face suddenly changed.
The faces of everyone in the audience also changed, thinking that Xu Shao was going to start scolding.
It's a shame to scold him, it's a lifelong reputation thing, and this year, the reputation is the heaviest.
Therefore, Yuan Shao's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Xu Shao.
It doesn't matter if you scold Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao greeted him in advance, and then scolded Cao Cao, just not to give Yuan Shao face.
Yuan Shao was very unhappy, and this matter was very big.
As a result, Xu Shao took a deep breath and added the next sentence.
"But if you are born in troubled times, you Cao Mengde may be a hero."
In all fairness, Guo Peng felt that Xu Shao's comment was a bit interesting.
Thick-skinned, unstoppable and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, these are the excellent qualities of politicians, and they are also the excellent qualities of surviving in troubled times.
Xu Shao doesn't care if he is a person who sells his reputation or not, but he is definitely a person with real talent and learning.
Cao Cao's complexion eased after hearing this, Yuan Shao's face also eased, and most of the people also pale, and they didn't have time to think about the meaning in detail.
As long as it's not just belittling and scolding, everyone's face is okay.
After all, Yuan Shao, the great god, is here, if Xu Shao is really looking for trouble with Cao Cao, he is going against Yuan Shao, and that kind of consequence is not something Xu Shao can accept at that time.
But at that time, Guo Peng heard the voiceover that Xu Shao might have foreseen that the world was about to be in chaos in the near future.
Why do you say that people are heroes in troubled times for no reason?
Is the Han Dynasty going to be in chaos?
Is this kind of nonsense?
However, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, just as Cao Cao saluted and was about to leave, Xu Shao coldly said again, "You must remember to grow a beard in this life, but don't shave".
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao hadn't come back to his senses, and when he leaned down, Cao Cao's complexion changed greatly, and he saw Xu Shao looking at him with a disdainful smile on his face.
This is clearly mocking him as a scholar and a man, Cao Mengde's ancestor is a eunuch with no eggs!
As soon as these words came out, Guo Peng soon found that the Cao family around him either showed angry faces or lowered their heads in shame, and there was a faint burst of laughter in the crowd.
Xu Shao's intentions couldn't be more obvious.
If you are allowed to threaten me, I will not be allowed to mock you?
I did what the Yuan family wanted me to do, and the rest was what I wanted to do.
Sure enough, Yuan Shao was indifferent, but his face was somewhat unpleasant.
Yuan Shu next to him covered his mouth and smiled, Xu You pursed his mouth, wanting to laugh, but restrained himself.
Cao Cao stood on the stage, his face was blue and white, neither did he advance, nor did he retreat, his body was hot and unbearable, and he only felt that he wanted to dig a hole and go into the ground and disappear here.
This was probably the most embarrassing moment in Cao Cao's life.
Guo Peng thought for a while, looked at his little arms and legs, and calculated his age.
Well, the identity of the bear child is absolutely bearable!
So he took action.
Stepping away from his short legs, Guo Peng ran onto the stage in a few moments, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan beside him had not yet reacted, Guo Peng had already run behind Xu Shao.
Xu Shao heard the sound, looked back, and saw a good-looking little doll standing behind him, with an angry face.
Then, the little doll kicked Xu Shao's ass under the gaze of many people and kicked him in the ass.
Xu Shao almost didn't stand firm, half-squatting on the ground, looking at the little doll who kicked his ass with a shocked face.
"You...... What are you going to do as a kid? ”
Xu Shao's face was suspicious of life.
"My father told me that the dead are the greatest, and the scholars who have read the scriptures have insulted the deceased and insulted the ancestors of others, you have really lived for so many years in vain!"
Then Guo Peng ran directly to Cao Cao, who looked sluggish, and grabbed Cao Cao's hand.
"Big brother, don't be angry with such people, let's go, go to his Yuedan review!"
Then Guo Peng pulled Cao Cao away, Cao Cao pulled him at the beginning, and finally stood firm, but his face couldn't help but show a smile, and his steps became more and more brisk.
As for what the expressions of the people in the audience were at that time, what were the expressions of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Xu You, and what turmoil would arise later, Guo Peng didn't care at all.
If they really want to deal with an eight-year-old child, then Guo Peng thinks he is unlucky.
Anyway, on the way back, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu stared at Guo Peng for a while, although they didn't say anything, but their expressions were not normal.
After returning to Qian County, Guo Dan, who knew about this matter, confirmed all the details of the time with Guo Peng with a nervous face, and then looked at Guo Peng and relaxed a little.
If you really want to be more serious with an eight-year-old child, it is estimated that Xu Shao will be laughed out of his big teeth by the whole world, because he is young, so Guo Peng is safe.
And this incident did have an impact on Xu Shao, but it was not without a way to stop loss.
The way is to pretend to be generous, not only not to pursue it, but also to apologize and praise, and to give Guo Peng a good reputation, so as to show Xu Shao's "tolerance and generosity", and everyone will continue to trust him.
Or simply "laugh it off", thinking that you are not wrong, and you don't know it like a drooping child.
These are two solutions, and Xu Shao chose the third solution that combines the two solutions in order to maximize his own interests.
He didn't apologize to Cao Cao, it was impossible to apologize to Cao Cao, and there was no need to apologize to Cao Cao, he just forgave Guo Peng's behavior, praised Guo Peng's righteous behavior at a young age, and then praised him for having courage, being a bold child, and being able to take on big things in the future.
The rest is not mentioned at all.
The scholars naturally cooperated with him, and they would not really make Xu Shao lose face, because Xu Shao really couldn't be as knowledgeable as a drooping child, otherwise how would he behave.
But Guo Peng got an unexpected joy and became a bold child, a person who was angry about fighting grievances for his friends, and he could take on big things in the future, and his reputation was initially rising.
This is the special welfare of bear children, and it is also the benefit of the "Law on the Protection of Minors", which has been in use since ancient times.
Of course, this kind of thing can't attract the attention of Yingchuan's own family, at most, it is to laugh it off and secretly laugh at Xu Shao.
Indeed, everyone is laughing at Xu Shao.
Not for anything else, but for him to grasp the highest ground of public opinion of the critics.
This kind of person, people flock to him on the surface, respect him, and even fear him, but they are still very dissatisfied in their hearts.
Who wants to leave themselves to be judged?
It's okay to say good things, but what about swearing?
Guo Peng is actually equivalent to giving a bad breath to many people.
Cao Cao let out a vicious breath even more.
On the way back, Cao Cao happily rode a horse with Guo Peng, and after he went back, he sent a lot of gifts to Guo Peng to express his gratitude, and then invited Guo Peng to play and eat at home several times.
A year later, Cao Cao raised filial piety and went to Luoyang to be a Lang official, and then he didn't forget to send Guo Peng some new things in Luoyang.
Guo Peng's righteous actions also greatly improved his reputation within the Cao family.
The Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, especially the children of the same age, admired Guo Peng's behavior of kicking Xu Shao's ass in front of so many people, and felt that it was very bold.
Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan saw it with their own eyes, and since then they have admired Guo Peng very much, and when Guo Peng is present, if there is anything, they will listen to Guo Peng.
The matter reached Cao Song's ears, and it was from this time that Cao Song began to have the idea of wanting to marry the Guo family.
Then, Cao Song instructed his family to take his little daughter out of the backyard, intentionally or unintentionally, let Guo Peng "meet by chance" the youngest daughter of the Cao family, so as to get to know him and begin to cultivate feelings.
Guo Peng's goal was also achieved.
Cao felt that marrying the Guo family was a great thing, a great thing, and an important step in whitewashing his identity, but this was not what Guo Peng wanted to do by looking forward to the stars and the moon.
When Guo Dan intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the matter of marrying the Cao family, Guo Peng was holding back the joy in his heart, pretending to be calm and talking to him.
Now the signs of troubled times have appeared.
More than a year ago, Guo Peng heard someone talk about "Taiping Dao" on the street, and talked about the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, and he knew that Zhang Jiao had already started his activities.
That's not a good thing.
