"Hurry up and report to Madame, just say that the eldest prince has returned from the southern expedition and has arrived at the mansion, let everyone in the mansion come to meet him as soon as possible!" After Yang Yuan finished speaking, he looked back at Cao Ang with a smile on his face and bowed to him and said, "Son, I have worked hard all the way, so let's go into the house and rest quickly." ”

Work hard for your mother! Cao Ang looked at Yang Yuan, who looked like he was being a compliment, and he couldn't wait to step forward and punch his flattering smiling face, I was thinking about how to enter the house in a low-key manner, and you dog slave put on such a big show for me. Thinking of this, Cao Ang couldn't help but reach out and press his sour head, "Yang Yuan! Wait until I have time to clean you up! After speaking, he ignored him with a stunned face, and walked towards the Sikong Mansion with the family at the door.

Sikong Mansion is indeed magnificent! Rao had seen the introduction of some ancient Houfu architectural relics on TV in later generations, but Cao Ang still couldn't help but smack his tongue as soon as he stepped into the mansion. As soon as you enter the house, you will see the main courtyard that occupies an area of nearly 100 inclinations, the main hall of Cao's house is impressive, not to mention that there are five meters high, the mahogany is the column, the bluestone is the step, the corner tile is the top, the cantilevered beam is positive, the grass and trees in the courtyard are numerous, although it is not yet gorgeous, but it is still elegant and chic, dignified and beautiful, quite easy-going and pure. Cao Ang was convinced of the aesthetics and skillful skills of the ancients at this time, and the Chinese are indeed an excellent nation, no wonder they can build the imposing Great Wall and the magnificent Forbidden City, just from the Cao Cao Mansion, you can wake up a little bit.

Just when Cao Ang was thinking wildly, a burst of messy footsteps sounded in his ears, and he could faintly hear the sound of women and children talking not far away. When a middle-aged woman dressed in silk saw Cao Ang from afar, her face was suddenly overjoyed, and she called softly: "Ang'er! ”

The woman was about forty people, and her facial features were quite beautiful and upright, but the frost folds on her face showed that she had already passed the age of morning flowers, and I saw the woman walking quickly, gently holding Cao Ang's arm, but she didn't dare to hug it too tightly, and then looked at Cao Ang carefully for a long time, but heard the woman say distressedly: "Ang'er, you have lost weight." "This person is Cao Ang's adoptive mother who was raised after the death of his biological mother Liu, Cao Cao's current wife, Ding.

Looking at Mrs. Ding's loving and caring eyes, Cao Ang's heart couldn't help but warm, all kinds of pretentious plans before entering the mansion were all dispelled by him in an instant, Cao Ang grinned at Mrs. Ding and smiled kindly, and said, "Where did you lose weight?" Mother, the child felt that his body was more healthy than before. ”

Mrs. Ding looked at her son's happy smile, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, she hadn't seen her son smile for a few years? After being in a trance for a while, I saw that Mrs. Ding also smiled and said, "What Jianlang?" You see that your face is so pale, it must be bad to eat and drink, Yang Yuan, this stinky boy, see how I clean him up in a while. ”

At this time, I saw a beautiful woman dressed in blue satin behind Ding's slowly stepping up, and smiled at Ding's smile: "Sister, Zixiu has just returned from the expedition, how can you stand here and talk, or let the child come into the house to drink tea and rest his feet, it's not too late for our family to talk in detail." ”

I saw that Mrs. Ding suddenly realized, patted her forehead and said, "What my sister said is, alas, look at me in a hurry, Zixiu, I haven't seen my aunt soon." Cao Ang was hesitating about what to call this woman, and after hearing Mrs. Ding's words, he hurriedly bowed to the woman and said, "Cao Ang greets my aunt." ”

This woman is Cao Cao's current side room Mrs. Bian, that is, the biological mother of Cao's Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong's four sons, I saw Mrs. Bian gently salute Cao Ang, and said with a smile: "Zixiu, this expedition has been hard, or hurry into the hall to speak, I thought I ordered someone to call Pi'er and Zhang'er, and they will come over later." ”

"Pi'er, Zhang'er!" Cao Ang's heart couldn't help but ripple slightly, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang? Haha, I didn't expect that Emperor Wei Wendi and Huang Xu'er had become my elder brothers, thinking of this, Cao Ang couldn't help but snicker in his heart, and then casually asked Mrs. Bian: "Auntie, what about Cao Zhi?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Cao Ang regretted it, and he didn't know that Cao Zhi was born now, so he asked casually, if it was because of this exposed, it would be too unworthy. But seeing Mrs. Bian, she smiled lightly: "Zhi'er is taking a nap in the room now, and if you wake up in a while, if you know that Zixiu will ask him as soon as you return home, this little guy will definitely be very proud." Cao Ang smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and walked to the backyard with Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Bian and the others from Cao Mansion.

After sitting in the back hall, Cao Ang drank fragrant tea, and then pretended to be speechless: "Mother, aunt, how are you doing during this time?" Mrs. Ding couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "Zixiu, this child, after a few months in the army, you know that you feel sorry for me and your aunt." ”

Mrs. Bian said with a smile: "Zixiu and her sister's blood is thicker than water, and it is normal to care for your mother, but I am also wet with my sister." Seeing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but bow his head and smile in embarrassment, and secretly scolded Cao Ang in his heart for being a wooden, and he couldn't even say a few thoughtful words to his relatives.

The mother and son said a few words one by one, but fortunately, Mrs. Ding was only concerned about Cao Ang's physical affairs in the army, and did not ask anything he didn't know, so Cao Ang did not show his stuff for the time being. Moreover, it can be seen from the conversation that Cao Ang should have been quite indifferent in the past, and he and Mrs. Ding were also silent, so in addition to the habit of eating and living, Mrs. Ding did not know much about Cao Ang's private affairs, so after a while, Cao Ang's mood gradually relaxed, and his words were a little more free and casual.

"Big brother! When did you get back? The child who came in first had thick eyebrows and thin lips and thin lips looked like Cao Ang, and the other child was tall and strong, although he had not yet grown up, he could already see that he would be a standard burly man in the future, and he looked very lively and unusual under the sunlight outside the hall. The two of them each held a wooden gun in their hands, and when they saw Cao Ang, they rushed in with a shout, with a look of excitement on their faces.

This is Cao Pi and Cao Zhang? Looking at the two little ghosts in front of him who had not yet grown, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile a little, and then smiled at them and said, "I just came back from the army, what did you do?" Why did you come to me now? ”

"Haven't I come?" Ten-year-old Cao Pi seemed to have a good relationship with Cao Ang, but I saw him sitting next to Cao Ang, and said with a high spirit, "Big brother, I just taught my third brother a good lesson with the marksmanship you taught me, when will you teach me new tricks?" But when he saw Xiao Cao Zhang's little face over there, he muttered: "Obviously I let you"

"Let's? I didn't let you let me. Cao Pi got up and raised his head proudly and said: "If you lose, you will lose, if you win, what will not be allowed, if you are not convinced, we will compete in a while." ”

"Alright, alright." I saw that Mrs. Bian shook her hand helplessly, frowned at the two of them, and said: "As soon as you come in, you will shout and make trouble, what kind of system, if your father is here, it will be strange if he doesn't teach you a lesson." ”

saw Cao Pi make a slight grimace at Mrs. Bian, and then grabbed Cao Ang's hand and said: "Big brother, you can teach us another set of marksmanship, the one you taught when you left, my third brother and I have already practiced perfectly!" When Cao Zhang, who was on the side, heard this, he also hurriedly nodded at Cao Ang.

Teach you marksmanship? When Cao Ang heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became more ugly than crying, I don't even know a fart now, if it weren't for Cao Ang's body is a good physique, I'm afraid that I can be exhausted to death on the way back to the army. Still teach you? Thinking of this, he saw Cao Ang squeezing out a smile at Cao Pi and said: "Second brother and third brother, you are still young, and you are not suitable for learning any martial arts and horsemanship, you don't have to be in a hurry, and you don't have to pester your brother in the future, when you are a little older, your father will naturally supervise you personally." ”

But seeing Cao Zhang's displeasure when he heard this, he said: "Where are we young, listen to Mr. Shi A, eldest brother, you have been practicing martial arts since you were six years old, and I am now eight years old, how can I still be young?" Cao Pi on the side also nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, the sages have a cloud: 'If the jade is not cut, it will not be made.'" People don't learn, they don't know. "Now it's just a matter of suffering a little, but also to prepare for the future to become a big thing!" ”

Is the little kid quite capable of writing? Cao Ang cursed in his heart, and then hurriedly smiled: "Okay! Since the younger brothers are so studious, I will urge you to practice for my brother another day, but now I have just come back, my body is really too tired, and it is not early today, and I still have some private matters for my brother, so I will go back to the room to rest first. After saying that, Cao Ang pretended to be angry, got up and made a joke at Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian, and then hurriedly fled towards the outside of the hall. left two unwilling little brothers and Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian with an understanding smile.

——————

"Alas..."Cao Ang followed Yang Yuan to his room, and stroked his forehead, which was still in pain, isn't Cao Ang an indifferent and arrogant person? How can you be so good with these two stinky boys? Maybe Cao Ang himself is a guy who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside? Forget it, what kind of person this guy was before, what does it have to do with me, anyway, I just have to do my best.

When he was young, Cao Ang followed Yang Yuan to a quiet and bright courtyard, and as soon as Fang entered the courtyard, he saw Yang Yuan stop and said to the two maids in the garden: "Hurry up and open the door to greet the eldest prince, let Xu Nu boil a pot of bath water, and Fan Nu go to cook jujube porridge!" Li Nu... Li Nu! Where did this girl die, and she didn't give the eldest prince a face wash? ”

A burst of shouting made Cao Ang's head bigger, what Xu Nu, Fan Nu, Li Nu? But I don't know that the women of the Han Dynasty, especially the lowly maids, often have only one surname and no name.

There was a commotion in the courtyard, and everyone hurriedly put Cao Ang into the wing room to rest, Cao Ang rolled his eyes helplessly, and let the pretty girl of 'Xu Nu' or 'Li Nu' wipe two handfuls on her face with a hot towel, and then someone brought the freshly cooked jujube porridge.

After the busy work was over, Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Yang Yuan, there are a lot of people living in this courtyard, right?" Yang Yuan was the only one who knew that the eldest prince had lost his soul at this time, so he hurriedly bowed and said: "In addition to the eldest prince, including the small one, there are nine subordinates who serve the prince in this courtyard."

"Nine?" Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh, "Why do you want so much?" I saw Yang Yuan counting with his fingers: "The two family members are taking care of the house, if someone comes, they have to be reported by the next person, right?" Fan Nu is a cook, the son eats three meals a day, drinks a bowl of jujube porridge, fresh soup or something, someone has to take care of it, do you say yes? ”

Swallowing his saliva, Yang Yuan became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and continued: "Female Xu, Female Li is the maid in the room, she has to let them come every day to bring you tea and water, as well as a change of clothes, right?" There are also errands, the son sends a letter or something, and the comprador calls him when he goes out, is it possible to buy a bundle of books and honey candles and ask the eldest prince to go out in person? ”

"Alright, alright..."Cao Ang waved his hand impatiently, "I'll go back to my room to rest first, don't bother me if it's okay." Hearing this, Yang Yuan hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The son just rest assured, and the little one should take care of everything for the son." ”

Back in the house, Cao Ang was too lazy to look at the gorgeous and simple furnishings in the house, just took off his shoes, and suddenly turned over and fell on the couch, "Eastern Han Dynasty.. Three Kingdoms..."Cao Ang muttered in fragments, thinking

"It's still the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the troubled times before the early Three Kingdoms, what should I do?" Cao Ang bit his fingers lightly while thinking silently: "Although I am now Cao Cao's sister-in-law, I have no worries about food and clothing, and I don't have to worry about my livelihood, but... What about in the future? Cao Cao is powerful, but can he protect me for the rest of my life? The princes of the Quartet, including the current Son of Heaven, can be regarded as enemies of the Cao family."

Thinking of this, Cao Ang sighed again, "The Cao family is good, only my good, there is no Cao family, I'm afraid that I haven't even released a fart, so I let others die, there is only one way to go to the dark Otherwise, with the current me, what qualifications do I have to gain a foothold in this troubled world?" ”

Time passed quietly in Cao Ang's thoughts, until the sun set, only to see Cao Ang get up from the couch gently, and said to himself: "That's right, if you want to live, you have to help Cao Cao, the greater the power of the Cao family, the more stable I will live. How? ”

After another half an hour, I saw Cao Ang sigh softly, patted his forehead and said, "Alas, nothing will happen, everything is nonsense, let's learn!" ”
