Chapter 22 Marrying a daughter is a science

"What? …… Cao Ang! ”

"Exactly!" Fu Wan nodded vigorously, indicating that he was not wrong, "Although Cao Ang is not as famous as 'Ghost-faced Xiao Lang', but the old minister has secretly observed that this son is talented and intelligent, has certain attainments in literature and martial arts, and is a rare temperament, he can be called a contemporary young handsome, but his father's light is too strong, so he is just covered up!"

More importantly, Cao Ang is the son of the Cao family, and he is the heir of the setting, and has been supported by Cao Ying's civil and military forces. “

Princess Haiyan is so smart, she immediately understood the meaning of Fu Wan's words, marrying the Cao family is indeed an unparalleled honor for the courtiers, but on the other hand, how can it not be a restriction?

Cao Angnai is a man of temperament, filial piety to his father, love for brothers, and kindness to friends, once he becomes a family, as a brother-in-law, he is absolutely embarrassed to snatch the throne with his brother-in-law.

And after she marries, she is the mother of the second generation of the Cao family, with her identity, status, and intelligence, she can completely influence the decision-making of the second, third, and even fourth-generation heirs of the Cao family, so that the three generations of the Han family can be safe-guarded!

Marrying Cao Ang is a good political choice, but ......, the dream in my heart will be shattered!

"According to the old minister's observation, Cao Ang is also full of admiration for His Royal Highness, and he will definitely be harmonious with his husband and wife in the future, and he will raise his eyebrows!" Seeing that the princess seemed to be hesitant, she immediately added another fire, although there were two candidates, but he and some Han diehards still preferred Cao Ang, after all, the Cao family is the pillar that supports the Han family today!

"You can do it!" Looking at the golden dragon chair high up on the imperial steps, Princess Haiyan finally nodded, everything is for the sake of the Han River!

"His Royal Highness is righteous, and he will definitely leave his name in history and be a model for future generations!" After performing three kneels and nine bows, he bowed respectfully!

"Hehe, do you want to exchange the love of my life for a name that will go down in history?" Lying weakly on the royal steps, Princess Haiyan felt her soul drifting, "I hope that the princesses of future generations will have a good home, don't learn from me......"

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from the palace on the Vermilion Bird Street, the Vermilion Bird belongs to the fire, and the fire gives birth to the earth, there was once a Gao Shi to Cao Cao to approve the eight characters, saying that he is the life of the 'thick earth hidden dragon', so after coming to Xudu, he deliberately set up the mansion here, intending to borrow the power of the four divine beasts to bless the prosperity of his house!

The mansion is decorated very ordinary, neither luxurious, nor magnificent, if it were not for the three big words of 'Prime Minister's Mansion' on the gate, I am afraid no one would have imagined that under one person, Prime Minister Cao Cheng above 10,000 people lives here, of course, this mansion also has its own characteristics, that is, big, very big, big enough to garrison thousands of soldiers will not be crowded!

"Welcome back to my father's house!"

"Welcome back to my brother's home!"

As soon as Cao Cao, Cao Ang, father and son entered the mansion, the family members who stayed behind immediately stepped forward in turn to salute.

Came out to greet Cao Xian, Cao Jie, Cao Hua sisters, three-year-old Cao Xiong will also reluctantly bow down, like a small meat ball, very cute, but the body is a little bit worse, often sick and take medicine, so Cao Cao has a lot of heart!

In addition, there are a large group of wives and concubines such as Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian waiting to greet them, several of them are holding swaddling clothes in their arms, and their faces are full of smug smiles.

Everyone returned to the prime minister's mansion and talked about some family routines, Cao Cao took a few babies in swaddling clothes and kissed them one by one, enjoying the happiness of being a father, and then waved everyone back!

The rules of the Cao family are very strict, except for the eldest son Cao Ang, other wives and concubines and children cannot interfere in government affairs, otherwise they will be severely punished!

"Father, do you miss the three younger brothers Pi, Zhang, and Value, who are far away in Guanzhong?" The nature of father and son, Cao Ang is filial piety, and he immediately saw his father's thoughts.

"Hehe, the three brothers have been gone for more than half a year, how can they not miss their father!" Outsiders always see Cao Cao's resourceful, domineering, and iron-blooded side, but they ignore that he is also a flesh-and-blood person, and he also has the love of licking calves!

"In this case, why didn't my father send someone to quickly pick up the three younger brothers, take them with him to raise them personally, reunite the family, and share the joy of family!" Cao Ang has never been too much in favor of his father's practice of sending his three younger brothers to the army, after all, they are still young, and the military campaign is so dangerous, in case ~~

"The eagle will never be able to spread its wings and fly high without experiencing the wind and rain, although your three little brothers are very smart, but they have their own flaws, put them in the army to suffer some hardships, is to grind off the edges and corners of their bodies, for the future long-term planning, this is the love of the father!"

Saying that, Cao Cao took out a large number of letters from a wooden box behind him, these were all sent from Guanzhong, which recorded in detail the situation of the three brothers of the Cao family during this time, and explained everything one by one.

"In June, the army attacked Hangu Pass, the three sons each offered strategies, most of the governors were not allowed, they were all punished, and the sons Cao Zhi cried for a long time......"

"In July, the decisive battle with the Qiang people was on the side of the Weishui River, and the battle was in full swing, and the governor personally led the team to charge into battle, and the three sons braved arrows, beating drums and cheering, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted!"

"In August, the Governor of Dadu and the Xiliang warrior Ma Chao competed, and the three sons worked together to beat their brother Ma Dai, defeating the strong with the weak, and winning it, and they were punished as one, and the brothers did not cry......"

In September, the three sons hunted at the foot of Li Mountain, and the flying horses bent their bows, and there were many ......

The letter is very detailed, which allows people to intuitively see how the three naughty teenagers grow up step by step, and enjoy their joys, sorrows and sorrows together!

"I can't imagine that the progress of the three junior brothers is so great!" Looking at the letter, Cao Ang couldn't help but nod his head again and again, Cao Pi, who had a treacherous personality, has now learned to love his brothers, and the reckless and aggressive Cao Zhang can also use his brains, even Cao Zhi, who has a weak personality and likes to cry, can now ride a horse and bend a bow, and shoot a little wild boar alone, what a rebirth!

"Xiao Lang is eclectic, he can teach according to his aptitude, the old man is not as good as him!" The sons have undergone such a huge change, and the happiest is naturally Cao ****, it seems that he has made the right move, "Let their three brothers train for a few more years, and they will be your right-hand man in the future!" ”

This is the future pattern designed by Cao Cao, with the eldest son Cao Ang as the core, the rest of the Cao family as the arms, with the generals surnamed Cao and Xiahou as the wings, and then gather the world's talents for their own use, and finally form a huge political and military group, which can be invincible in the world, and even replace the Liu family!

"The father is far-reaching, planning for future generations, and the child is grateful!" Cao Ang bowed down and bowed, his eyes were full of tears, saying a thousand, saying ten thousand, his father had made so many plans, and he was the one who benefited in the end!

"Idiot! Idiot! ”

The father and son sighed for a while, and Cao Cao took out another box from behind him, which also contained a lot of letters, all the news about Xiao Yixi's expedition.

Tens of thousands of troops marched westward, and Cao Cao almost pressed half of the family business, so it is impossible for the army to be without his eyeliner, which has nothing to do with trust, but what a politician must do, fortunately, Xiao Yi did not disappoint him, the army took Guanzhong all the way, and the captured loot was piled up, and it was being sent to Xudu day and night!

What made Cao Cao happiest was the 10,000 military horses sent by Xiao Yi, as well as a large herd of cattle and sheep......

'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry' is being formed, in addition to recruiting warriors who are good at riding and archery, the biggest obstacle is the lack of war horses, the Central Plains does not produce good horses, this is the difficulty that all princes are facing, the only way is to secretly smuggle a little from the Xiongnu and Qiang people, the quality is difficult to guarantee, not to mention, the quantity is extremely limited!

The 10,000 Xiqiang war horses are really a timely rain, and the large herds of cattle and sheep can be used for military reclamation, which greatly solves the problem of insufficient animal power in the interior, and several internal affairs officials such as Xun Yu and Xun You are happy to blossom!

However, there is one thing that makes Cao Cao a little dissatisfied, and that is women!

"This kid has learned badly...... first he was a Qiang girl, and then he ate Cai Yong's daughter!" Seeing the record on the letter, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, a young man of twenty years old, with strong blood, it is impossible not to be a woman all year round, Xiao Yi is already an afterthought in this regard, many aristocratic teenagers in the court began to flirt with the maids around him at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and became a father at the age of fifteen or sixteen, this kind of behavior will not only not be stopped, but is considered a symbol of prosperity!

"Come on, call all three young ladies!" Cao Cao twisted his beard with his hands, such a fast son-in-law must not be robbed by others, otherwise he will regret his death!

"Father is going to marry that sister to Xiao Lang?" Cao Ang is also very supportive of the marriage of Xiao and Cao, and there is a peerless name who will become the son-in-law of the Cao family, which will benefit and harmless, but there are three adult sisters to be married in the family, so they can't all be given to Xiao Yi, right?

"Hehe, this matter is the father's own decision, and both parties must be satisfied!"

"See Father!"

Soon the three sisters of the Cao family came, the girls developed very quickly, they were still budding last year, and now they are slim, and they are genetically like their mothers, beautiful and dignified!

"Some time ago, I asked you to embroider a 'Golden Silk Hundred Flowers Robe' for Xiao Lang, have you completed it now?" Looking at his three daughters who are like flowers, Cao Cao nodded frequently, just with this appearance, it will never be a problem to win a Xiao Yi.

"Back to my father, it's done!"

The three girls were also prepared, and immediately took out a black Shu brocade robe from behind them, with gold and silver threads, embroidered with a hundred flower patterns, lifelike, the bottom of the robe is the ripples of thousands of waves, and in the middle of the robe, there is also a hovering four-clawed dragon, the posture is extremely powerful, and it has the potential to turn over the river and the sea!

Such a robe is definitely the dream of any military general, not to mention that it is still from the daughter of the Cao family!

"Very good, we are attentive!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, then walked down from his seat and looked at the three daughters one by one, "Stretch out your palms!" ”

"No!"

Although they didn't know their father's intentions, the three sisters obediently complied.

Three pairs of six delicate little hands, originally the same bright and slippery, but at this time they are slightly different......

The eldest sister Cao Xian's hands are pitted, with more than a dozen small red dots, which were accidentally pierced when threading the needle, and there are such traces on the hands of ordinary family women, and the more diligent they are, the more they are!

The second daughter Cao Jie's hands are the worst, the red spots are dense, no less than hundred, and there are calluses on the index finger that are ground out when the thimble, and the blood marks are said, which makes people feel distressed.

As for the young girl Cao Hua, her little hands are white and tender, just like shallots, and there is not a single red spot!

"Well, it's good, stay in the Hundred Flowers Battle Robe, you guys go down!" His eyes turned around on the faces of his daughters, and Cao Cao waved his hand.

"No!"

"Father, but you've made up your mind?" Cao Ang looked at the back of his three younger sisters leaving, and felt that it was very good, I really don't know how to choose, marrying 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', I'm afraid it is the dream of all the daughters of the Han Dynasty!

"Hehe, immediately send someone to send this 'Shu Brocade Hundred Flowers Robe' to Chang'an, and tell Xiao Lang by the way, just say that Jie'er misses him very much!"

"Jie'er? Why her? Cao Ang's face was surprised, if you talk about the order of the eldest and youngest, when the eldest sister Cao Xian is elected, if you talk about the degree of favor, it should be the youngest sister Cao Hua is the most, but how can it be ......

"With Jie'er's intentions, she can become Xiao Lang's main wife!" Cao Cao held the hundred-flower robe in his hand, and every stitch and thread on it was the hard work of the second daughter!
