Seeing Lu Meng, Cao Shuo asked her, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I've fallen asleep, but I heard that my husband is back, and I got up to greet him." Lu Meng replied.

Cao Shuo was talking to Lu Meng, and Yuan Fang came over with the women in his back house.

Standing beside Cao Shuo and looking at Lu Meng, Yuan Fang asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Husband, this is Mrs. Lu, right?" ”

"She is Mrs. Yuan." Cao Shuo said to Lu Meng: "That is, my wife!" ”

Knowing that it was Yuan Fang standing in front of him, Lu Meng saluted and said, "Lu Meng has seen the eldest lady. ”

"No need to be polite." Yuan Fang said: "They are all sisters, and they will be a family in the future." I'm not familiar with Shouchun, so I have to take care of my sister of the Lu family when I get here. ”

"The eldest lady said this, it really tormented the slave family." Lu Meng lowered his head and responded respectfully.

She, like Zhen Mi and others, is just Cao Shuo's concubine.

And Yuan Fang is Cao Shuo's wife.

When the concubine saw her wife, even if she was capable, she could only lower her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, for fear of annoying.

"I still have some important things to do." Cao Shuo said to Lu Meng: "You take the eldest lady to familiarize yourself with the environment, and as for where everyone lives, leave it to the eldest lady to arrange." ”

Lu Meng owes herself.

Cao Shuo said to Yuan Fang again: "The Queen Mother has also been handed over to you, but you must take care of it." ”

"The Queen Mother also lives here?" Yuan Fang asked.

"Of course." Cao Shuo said: "This used to be Yuan Shu's palace, I occupied Shouchun, there is such a big mansion to live in, do you still want to build a small courtyard?" ”

"That's what my husband said." Yuan Fang asked, "I don't know where to arrange the Queen Mother?" ”

"The scenery is more beautiful, and the vision is more open." Cao Shuo said: "Since we have come to Huainan, of course we have to take care of the Queen Mother!" You are not familiar with this place, so let Lu Meng take you around first, and then settle everyone. ”

"It's okay if I don't sleep tonight." Yuan Fang said: "It's just that the Queen Mother has been tired all the way, but I don't dare to let her stay up." ”

"Don't worry, big lady." Lu Meng said: "I have people to clean all the rooms every day, and wherever they look, as long as they add a cover. ”

"All furnished?" Yuan Fang asked.

"After the husband took Shouchun, he had already found a craftsman to equip each room with furniture." Yuan Fang said: "The eldest lady can just take care of it." ”

"What about the rooms of the servants and maids?" Yuan Fang asked again.

"It's all arranged." Lu Meng said: "After they move in, they can simply clean up!" ”

"Sister Lu still knows how to do things." Yuan Fang said with a smile: "This saves me a lot of worry." ”

When Yuan Fang and Lu Meng were talking, Cao Shuo said to Wang Yan and Qingwu: "Shouchun has nothing else, but there are many places." The soldiers came to Shouchun, except for those who followed Pang Shiyuan on the expedition, everyone else had been assigned to various military villages, and the military camps in the city were also very empty. You two make arrangements to settle Fire Dance in the barracks first, and tomorrow I will have people build Fire Dance Camp in Bagong Mountain outside the city. ”

Yuan Fang was on the side, and Wang Yan and Qingwu didn't dare to laugh with Cao Shuo in front of her, so they responded very respectfully.

"It's almost all arranged." Cao Shuo said to Zhu Ao: "You stay, lead Huo Wu to the military camp where no one is stationed, and Zilong will accompany me to see Xu Yuanzhi's mother." ”

After arranging everything, Cao Shuo left with Zhao Yun and a team of flying bear battalions.

Yuan Fang and others entered the house under the guidance of Lu Meng.

As for Wang Yan and Qingwu, although they are the wives of Cao Shuo's back house, they are also the leaders of Fire Dance, so they can only go to settle Fire Dance first under the leadership of Zhu Ao.

Xu Shu's mother was taken to Shouchun, and in order to facilitate supervision, Sima Yi asked her to settle her in a house not far from the official mansion.

Coming to the door of the house, Cao Shuo nodded to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun glanced at a Flying Bear Battalion officer.

The officer stepped forward, pulled up the knocker and slammed it hard.

A voice came from inside: "Who?" ”

"Childe asks to see the old lady." The officer shouted, "Please report quickly!" ”

Knowing that it was Cao Shuo who came, the people inside didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly opened the door, bowed down and said, "I don't know it's Gongzi, it's really a capital crime to open the door late!" ”

"Because the door opened late, I will kill you, and will I not become a heinous wicked person?" Cao Shuo said: "Go and report to the old lady, just say that I came to ask for a meeting, and I hope to be able to give a meeting." ”

"Childe, wait a minute, I'll go and report." The servant who opened the door hurriedly responded, said goodbye, and quickly ran to report to Xu Shu's mother.

After a while, he ran back and said to Cao Shuo: "Back to Gongzi, the old lady has already fallen asleep, and when she heard that Gongzi is coming, she is getting up." ”

Cao Shuo asked him, "Is the old lady living well these days?" ”

"Good!" The servant said, "But there's one that isn't very good." ”

"How?" Cao Shuo's brows furrowed slightly.

"Every time I send her food, how to send it, I still send it back as it is." The servant said with a bitter face: "It's been several days, and to this day it still doesn't stick to the teeth." ”

"I'm old, how can I stand it like this?" Cao Shuo asked, "You didn't persuade her either?" ”

"It's not that there is no persuasion, it's just that the old lady has a stubborn temperament, no matter how much we persuade her, she just won't listen." The expression on the servant's face grew more and more bitter.

Cao Shuo said to Zhao Yun: "Fortunately, I came back early, if I come back two days late, I'm afraid I will have to mourn the old lady!" ”

"I also heard that Xu Yuanzhi's mother is very stubborn." Zhao Yun said: "I don't know if Gongzi can persuade her." ”

"Whether you can persuade or not, it's not all based on one mouth." Cao Shuo said: "Of course, you have to use your brain before you move your mouth. ”

Without further ado, Cao Shuo took Zhao Yun and the others to the old lady's room.

The room was lit with an oil lamp.

When he came to the door, Cao Shuo clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Senior Cao Shuo, please see the old lady!" ”

Xu Shu's mother's voice came from the house: "Gongzi is the lord of Huainan, who do you need to see?" Just come in! ”

and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and Cao Shuo led him into the house.

In the room, an old woman in her sixties sat upright.

The old woman was dressed plainly, and at first glance she knew that she had suffered a lot in the countryside.

"Cao Shuo, meet the old lady!" Cao Shuo bowed again.

"I'm just a country woman, and my son doesn't have to salute me." The old lady said lightly: "I heard that Gongzi went to Xudu some time ago, why did he come back suddenly?" ”

Cao Shuo sighed and said: "I really can't stand to see Your Majesty being murdered, so I didn't stay in Xudu for too long, and came back first!" ”

The old lady was still sitting upright, and she didn't look at Cao Shuo, and of course she didn't speak.
