Chapter Twenty-Eight: Father-Son Talks
When Cao Tong returned to the house, he began to organize his thoughts.
He never thought that Li Di's strength would be so small, let alone that there would be so much dirt among civil officials.
After all, the Great Song Dynasty was the only dynasty that did not have civil strife.
And Li Di is Song Zhenzong's henchman!
But after Bao Zheng's incident, Cao Tong felt that Wang had asked him to curry favor with Li Di's strategy did not seem to be feasible.
"Hey, it never hurts to practice calligraphy no matter what." Cao Yan sighed self-deprecatingly.
To be honest, the more Cao Tong understands the darkness of officialdom, the more reluctant he is to get involved.
If he hadn't crossed over to become Cao Yan, he would really want to open a medical center in this Great Song Dynasty and spend his life in peace.
But you can just think about it.
Although the doctor's status in the Great Song Dynasty is not low, as the sister-in-law of the Cao family, this road is impassable.
"Xi'er, let's start packing up lately.
When the selection is over, we have to move out and go alone. ”
Cao Xi, the cheap father, has twice regarded him as an abandoned son in his hands.
No matter what, he has to find a way to get rid of Cao Xi's control.
And the Cao family is now a scene of storms.
Cao Tong moved out a day earlier, and his safety was more guaranteed.
But what he didn't expect was that Xi'er's little face turned pale by his frightened words.
"Lang... Lang Jun, are you really planning to move out of the Cao family? ”
Cao Tong saw that Xi'er's expression was different, and he couldn't help but be vigilant.
After all, he had already told Xi'er about moving out of the Cao family.
When Xi'er learned the news, she was even happier than herself.
It's only been a few days, how did Xi'er become like this.
"Xi'er, what have you heard?"
Cao Tong will not doubt Xi'er's loyalty.
After all, Xi'er had served Mrs. Cao at the beginning.
Even if he is no longer favored in the Cao Mansion, for the sake of the continuation of the bloodline, Old Madam Cao will only send a credible person to him.
Sure enough, seeing Cao Tong asking, Xi'er said, "Lang Jun, I heard Cai Wei in Brother Fu's courtyard say that the master is already on an errand for Brother Fu."
If you really move out of the Cao Mansion, I am afraid that the position of the head of the Cao family will be Brother Fu's in the future. ”
Hehe, Cao Xi's cheap dad is really just cruel to himself!
At the beginning, he showed value in order to survive, but Cao Xi said that he would replace himself with Cao Fu's life.
The Cao family's crisis has not yet been solved, so Cao Xi will start an errand for Cao Fu?
Knowing this, Cao Tong couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
Fortunately, he never had the luxury of getting anything from Cao Xi.
As long as he can move out as soon as possible, he will be satisfied.
And the fourth uncle, Cao Wei, is about to return to Beijing.
The position of the head of the Cao family should be taken over by Cao Wei.
Cao Fu still thinks that he can take over the Cao family in the future?
That's a fool's dream!
Speaking of which, both his father and his brother are fools.
The position of the head of the Cao family is obviously a hot potato, what is there to fight for!
"Xi'er, do you think you'll be happy like my father?"
Seeing Cao Tong ask this, Xi'er was obviously a little confused, and after a long time, she said abruptly: "Happiness!
The old man is in a high position and is in charge of the Cao family, which is envied by others. ”
"Hehe, you only see the beautiful side of my father.
He carefully deals with the courtiers every day, but you don't see it at all.
Forget it, you don't necessarily understand this when you talk to you.
All you need to know is that with me, you can be fed and clothed. ”
Xi'er heard Cao Tong say this, and nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at the somewhat cute Xi'er, Cao Yan's mood was rarely better.
"Xi'er, go and prepare tea, and the palace banquet should be over."
In fact, Cao Tong is still a little weak now.
After all, he has offended several groups of people one after another today.
Most of the reproaches that Cao Fu will face are also due to him.
Sure enough, Xi'er prepared the tea, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the hospital.
However, what Cao Yu didn't expect was that there was not much anger on Cao Xi's face.
Cao Tong naturally didn't take the initiative to admit his mistake, and the father and son were speechless for a long time.
Or Cao Yu was the first to be defeated and said: "You'er, you are so sharp today, but you are resentful of being your father?" ”
Cao Yu saw that Cao Yu did not mention the matter with the Yao family and Cao Wei, and a nameless fire in his heart suddenly surged up.
"That's right!
I offended Yao Bao, Empress Guo, Liu E, and King Runan of the Yao family today.
No matter which of them is attacking the Cao family, they can make me angry. ”
When Cao Xi heard this, his expression suddenly became very serious.
The clenched fists revealed his mood at this time.
The scene was silent again.
However, Cao Yu didn't want to put the initiative in Cao Xi's hands.
"Dad, let the child go out of the house alone.
If he continues to stay, the child himself is afraid that he will destroy the Cao family. ”
"It's okay to move out.
But how do you get into trouble? ”
Seeing Cao Xi ask this, Cao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, compared with the fourth uncle's return to Bianliang.
The troubles he caused were all petty.
"Daddy, those people who offend the child will not retaliate against the Cao family in the short term.
What Daddy should be most worried about is how Liu E will embarrass the fourth uncle. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Xi's face immediately flashed a little panic.
"Sage, will she embarrass your fourth uncle?"
Isn't that obvious?
Cao Tong had no choice but to repeat his and Wang Zeng's analysis.
But what Cao Yu didn't expect was that after Cao Yu heard this, the whole person seemed a little sluggish.
"Daddy, now is not the time to panic.
If the fourth uncle can return to Bianliang, not to mention that the prestige of our Cao family will be greatly improved, the wisdom of the fourth uncle alone can ensure the safety of our Cao Mansion for a while. ”
Cao Tong didn't stupidly think that as long as he moved out of Cao's Mansion, he would not be liquidated by Liu E.
Although he really wanted to draw a clear line with Cao Fu completely, this matter had to be thought out slowly.
"Hello, you've come up with a way to crack it?"
Seeing Cao Xi ask this, Cao Yu's heart suddenly cooled by half.
This is a major event related to the rise and fall of the Cao family.
His father, as the current head of the Cao family, actually pinned all his hopes on him.
No wonder his father didn't go to the army.
I am afraid that if I really go to the battlefield, I will only give the enemy's head to die.
Cao Yu didn't answer this question, but stared at Cao Xi deadly.
But at this time, Cao Xi was obviously completely panicked, and said most steadily again: "Yu'er, have you come up with a way to crack it?" ”
"No...
Now we can only hope that other martial arts families will not be co-opted by Liu E.
Otherwise, whether the fourth uncle can return to Beijing depends on the result of the civil official and Liu E's fight..."
