Speaking of Wei Tu and Cai Ji, Cao Shuo was really a little proud in his heart.

Both of them escaped from Wancheng and him back then.

Since Wancheng, they have been following Cao Shuo.

Until Cao Shuo arranged a new official position for them and drove the two out.

Wei Tu became the head of the Touching Gold Camp in the middle of the Faqiu Zhonglang, and the large tombs he opened were actually more than the sum of the past.

The most exaggerated thing is that the touching gold camp opened the mausoleum of King Jing of Zhongshan, washed away the treasures inside, and sent them all to Lingyun Pavilion.

If it weren't for touching Jinying to get such things, Cao Shuo's expenses would have been stretched out a long time ago.

Cai Ji is also unambiguous.

He was not happy to put him in charge of the construction of the road.

When he really took responsibility, he actually built the road very smoothly, and even the carriage was not too bumpy when he walked on it.

chose to keep Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao by his side, just because these two people have good martial arts.

The martial arts that the two of them are good at are suitable for fighting in the rivers and lakes, and their role in the army is not very large.

Keeping them by his side as a guard, firstly, outsiders heard the name loud, and secondly, with the two of them and Cao Shuo's own skills, even if an assassin dared to assassinate him, he could not do anything to him.

Accompanied by Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, he returned home.

When he came to the gate of the back garden, Cao Shuo said to the two of them: "You two should also go back and rest, starting tomorrow, come back after three poles every day." ”

The two of them said goodbye and left.

Coming back after the sun is three poles, it is nothing more than asking them to sleep well at home.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were grateful and hurriedly retreated.

Cao Shuo walked into the back garden, accompanied by several other guards.

A few steps into the back garden, a team of guards came over.

This team of guards is not the same as the one who followed behind Cao Shuo.

Although they are also brightly dressed and tall, this team of guards are all women.

In front of Cao Shuo, the leading guard bowed and saluted: "Gongzi is back." ”

Cao Shuo nodded and said to the guards who followed him, "You all should retreat." ”

Since Yuan Fang and others were in charge of women's affairs, Yuan Fang withdrew all the original guards in the back house to the front yard.

The guards in the back house are all female guards trained by Lu Meng and others.

Don't look at them as women, men with average physiques are really not as tall as them.

After the training of Lu Meng, Ma Yunlu and others, these female guards are all good at martial arts, enough to assume the responsibility of protecting the back house.

Escorted by a team of female guards, Cao Shuo came to Yuan Fang's residence.

When she entered the courtyard, the maid was about to report it, but he stopped her.

Raising his feet and entering the room, Cao Shuo heard Yuan Fang's voice coming from the room: "How many times have I told you to study more and practice martial arts more, but you don't listen." If you don't do anything serious all day, you know that you're messing around in the back house. ”

From Yuan Fang's words, Cao Shuo heard that she was reprimanding the child.

Yuan Fang gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Cao Shuo.

Among them, the eldest son Cao Heng is the son he has long decided.

If Cao Heng can be wise and intelligent when he grows up, Cao Shuo's family business will definitely be passed on to him in the future.

"Your father was born and died back then, so he settled his family in Shouchun, I thought you would be able to take over his family business in the future, but I didn't expect you to be an unlucky person." Yuan Fang's voice then came out of the house: "If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, why don't I go and tell your father that he won't think about making you a son in the future." ”

This sentence made Cao Shuo understand, and it was Cao Heng who Yuan Fang reprimanded.

There are not many days back in Shouchun, and there are not many opportunities to contact with children.

Cao Heng is now ** years old, and he, a father, hasn't really paid attention to it a few times.

Yuan Fang's voice stopped temporarily, but Cao Shuo felt that she was not lightly annoyed.

Coming to the door of the inner room, Cao Shuo raised his feet and stepped over the threshold.

There were seven or eight oil lamps lit in the room, and the room was lit up.

Yuan Fang sat there, staring at the **-year-old boy in front of her with apricot eyes.

The little boy is Cao Heng, the eldest son of Cao Shuo.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yuan Fang more.

And Yuan Fang only cared about reprimanding him, and didn't notice Cao Shuo walking into the house.

"What's going on?" Walking into the house, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "You look indignant, don't scare the child." ”

"Husband." It wasn't until Cao Shuo spoke that Yuan Fang noticed that he had walked in and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"What's wrong?" Walking to Cao Heng's side, Cao Shuo reached out and rubbed his head, and asked Yuan Fang.

"What else could I do." Yuan Fang said with annoyance: "He is also too naughty, he doesn't read more books all day long, and he refuses to practice martial arts, he only knows how to blindly mess around." ”

"What did you do?" Squatting in front of Cao Heng, Cao Shuo asked, "Why do you make your mother angry like this?" ”

"Dig out the bird's nest." Cao Heng lowered his head and replied timidly.

"Where did you dig it?" Cao Shuo smiled dumbly and asked him.

"It's in the back garden." Cao Heng said, put his little hand into his arms, and took out two bird eggs: "This is taken out of the bird's nest." ”

"You took out the bird's nest, and the bird's father and mother can't see the child when they go back, how anxious should you be?" Cao Shuo said: "Just like you, if someone takes you away, won't your father and mother be worried about death?" ”

Looking up at Cao Shuo, Cao Heng hurriedly lowered his head again: "Father, I don't dare." ”

"If you don't learn literature or martial arts, what do you want to do in the future?" Cao Shuo asked: "You are my son, my father led the army to fight in the north and south at the age of fourteen, in the future, you don't want people to say that you are a gentleman and lose your father's face, right?" ”

Cao Heng hurriedly shook his head.

"Tell me, how am I going to punish you?" Cao Shuo asked Cao Heng.

"I don't know......" Cao Heng replied honestly.

Seeing him hold the hands of the two birds' eggs, Cao Shuo said, "Otherwise, how about punishing you for hatching the birds?" ”

Cao Heng nodded heavily.

"Go ahead." Patting his little head gently, Cao Shuo said: "From tomorrow onwards, I will listen to my mother's words, follow the master to learn literature and martial arts, and be a capable person in the future." ”

Cao Shuo stood up, and the maid stepped forward to take Cao Heng out.

"This kid is really angry." Yuan Fang said: "I can't believe that my son is so uncompetitive. ”

"He's still a kid." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said, "How can a child not be naughty? ”

"But it's stubborn, how will it be in the future?" Yuan Fang sighed in annoyance and said, "It's all because I didn't teach him well......

"Madame is also very busy every day, in fact, I am to blame for this." Cao Shuo said: "It's because I have too little discipline on the children, so that they are a little lawless. ”

"The husband has too many things to do, how can he have time to take care of them." Yuan Fang said: "I will restrain him more in the future." ”
