Chapter 293: Not for fame
In the summer, the air after the rain is no longer so muggy, and the humidity of the rain makes the dry and hot weather cooler. The water on the ground would not dry up for a while, and the sun shone on it, and from a distance it looked like a mirror, reflecting the sky and the stratus clouds in the sky.
The shallow grass in the courtyard was stained with dew, and the droplets of water were so heavy that the blades of grass bent and hung down until the dew dripped down.
The water droplets under the eaves fell drop by drop and fell in front of the hall, making a soft sound.
The sun is always better after the rain, probably because there is a little more moisture in the air, which makes the sunlight become diffuse.
Cao Cao stood in the hall with his hands in his hands, his face was a little anxious, it had been half a day, and it was almost afternoon, and there was still no news of that gentleman.
After looking at the front of the hall for a while, he shook his head and walked back to his seat and sat down, turning his head to the people around him and said.
"Zilian, you go and ask if there is any gentleman in front of the door."
Cao Hong, who was sitting on the side, smiled bitterly and said.
"Meng De, I've been there three times, and I've already ordered it three times, if a gentleman in white comes to the door, I will definitely stay."
"That's it." Cao Cao nodded, and then remembered that he had already asked Cao Hong to go three times.
Then he said helplessly: "That gentleman agrees with me, when he will come to the house in the next few days, isn't it today?" ”
"Mengde, I think you are in too much of a hurry, it's only the second day, and I don't know when that gentleman came, so I can't keep waiting like this."
Xiahoudun sighed and said, it was the first time he had seen Cao Cao so attentive to a person.
"yes, maybe I'm in too much of a hurry." Cao Cao glanced at Xiahoudun and let out a long breath.
"But how can we not be in a hurry, now that the army is about to go out, we are so weak that we can't control anything. Even if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the general trend. ”
He put his hand on the table, shook it slightly, and then said.
"Since Mr. Na found me Cao Mengde the day before yesterday, he must have his plans, maybe he really has a way to let me wait for a foothold in this chaos."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao raised his eyes, looked deeply at the two people under the seat, and said in a complicated manner after taking a few breaths.
"The two of you, as well as Miaocai, Zixiao, Mancheng, and Wenqian. Since you are with your fellow practitioners, you naturally can't let you wait for vain. It is necessary to work together to build a meritorious career and a name, and live up to what you do. ”
"However, I am young and talented, and I have always been honestly afraid."
Cao Cao's hand rested lightly on the desk, and his voice was deep, as if he was struggling to do what he wanted.
Only the sound of dripping water in the courtyard was left in the hall, and it was quiet for a while.
Xiahoudun turned his head to look at Cao Cao, and a rare smile appeared on his vicious face.
That face was really not good-looking.
"Meng De, I'm not here with you, not for any fame."
After he finished speaking, he got up and stood up and said to Cao Hong.
"Zilian, let's go, let's go and see if there is any trace of that gentleman in front of the door."
Cao Hong's horizontal face also smiled, and he got up according to the table.
"Good. But if he doesn't come, I'll take him back. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Zilian, don't be rude to Mr. ”
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong glanced at each other and laughed.
"Hahahaha."
In the middle of the afternoon, the slanting sun in the west had sunk as if it had sunk, and only a little afterglow was still shining on the horizon.
The streets of the city are covered with a little red, which makes the city have a different color in the evening.
I didn't see any gentleman in white with a girl for a day, as if he was no longer in the city.
Listening to Xiahoudun and Cao Hong's returns, Cao Cao sat in the hall and sighed, and then said with some relief.
"Or maybe I'm not virtuous enough to see it."
Even so, his shoulders hung a little weakly.
Now under him, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin are all brave, but they are all warriors, although they are all good generals, but they are not ministers after all.
And it is absolutely impossible for an army to have only soldiers and no mastermind.
Cao Cao understood this, so he pressed for a minister, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Seeing Cao Cao's slightly stunned expression, Xiahoudun hesitated and said.
"Meng De is getting late, why don't you eat something first, how about the noodles you ate the day before yesterday?"
Noodles eaten the day before yesterday.
Xiahou Dan's unintentional words made Cao Cao's eyes stunned.
looked stunned, and suddenly smiled after half a salary: "Haha, it's that side." ”
"Sir, test me."
Xiahoudun and Cao Ren couldn't understand what Cao Cao said, and they were all puzzled.
"Mengde, what's wrong with that side?"
Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun, as if he had suddenly realized, and asked with a smile.
"Yuan Rang, do you remember what Mr. said to that girl that day?"
"Say, what?"
Xia Houdun grabbed his hair, how could he remember clearly what happened before these two days.
"The gentleman said I'll eat that next time."
Cao Cao said with a smile, in his opinion, that gentleman should be ready to be born into the world, and he chose him Cao Cao, and came to teach him.
Knowing that the traitor of Qingping and the hero of the troubled times must have been investigated by Mr. Na.
I came to see him and told him about the crusade against Dong Zhuo and the shortcomings of the coalition army, all of which verified his bearing.
speculated that Yunyu should show himself his talents, and what he said to the girl should also be said to him.
Let him go to the noodle shop if he wants to meet again.
"It's not good, I'm afraid I've missed the hour." Cao Cao glanced at the sky outside, hurriedly got up and walked outside the hall, and said.
"Yuan Rang, Zilian will follow me to that noodle restaurant."
······
At the noodle restaurant, two steaming bowls of noodles are served.
Gu Nan looked at the wet ground outside and raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect it to really rain.
Lingqi on the side had no intention of eating noodles, but kept holding the black stick and looking up and down.
This morning, Gu Nan taught her a set of swordsmanship, and she knew that the black stick that Gu Nan had been holding in her hand was actually a sword, and it was an extremely fast sword.
After practicing swordsmanship for a morning, he didn't want to put it down.
Gu Nan didn't know why, why didn't this kid look like an ordinary girl at all, he liked swords and war.
"Click." Wuge was pulled out in half in Lingqi's hand.
"Ahem, Qi'er." Gu Nan coughed and said to Lingqi, "Eat first and then play." ”
"Hmm." Lingqi woke up in shock: "Yes, master." ”
put Wuge on the table and ate noodles obediently.
Gu Nan also took a pair of chopsticks and prepared to eat, and after eating the noodles, it was time to go to Cao Cao's mansion.
She was thinking when there was a sound of footsteps outside the noodle shop.
Gu Nan looked at the three people in amazement, the person who came was really that Cao Cao.
The two encounters were in this shop, and Gu Nan looked down at the face in front of him.
Does he like to eat this noodle so much?
