Chapter 34: The Kite Flying
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: This Cao Qinghe doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, and he lost more than 500 yuan in one sentence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but after all, he is blackmailing a group of little P children, the name is not right, it is not good to have an income of 500 yuan, and this is robbing Cao Cao's children, and it is the right way to accept it when it is good.
Ding was very satisfied with Cao Qinghe's arrangement, smiled and taught a group of children one by one, and then said to Yuan Yun: "Yuan Xian's nephew helped me teach these boys a lesson today, so I also made a lot of fun, these boys are about to turn the world upside down on weekdays, but today I know that it is amazing, and I will let He Yanxian's nephew, who will be a master craftsman, come to you and help you, I believe it will help you a lot." ”
Yuan Yun searched in his mind for the next master craftsman, and then found that it was a department in charge of construction, so this is called Yan Xian's engagement, which naturally has a lot of rights, anyway, in this era, there is no distinction between public and private, and the benefits of using the public family by himself are nothing. Thinking of this, my heart immediately became happy, I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable craftsman, and now that He Yan has joined, it will naturally allow him to go to Zhang Luo.
After being happy, he hurriedly saluted Ding, and then fully expressed his gratitude, then raised his head and looked at Cao Ang, only to find that Cao Ang showed a look of displeasure on his face, and then Yuan Yun was a little puzzled in an instant, could it be that this He Yan is very unreliable?
After the group of children finally returned to their seats, the banquet became calm again, but Yuan Yun was very confused about Cao Ang's reaction just now. Seeing that everyone was sitting down at this time, he had a chance to move his body closer to Cao Ang, and then asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong with He Yan?" ”
Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay if Brother He Yanxian is here, he has a lot of resources in his hands to help you build, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Cao Ang paused for a moment, and then continued: "It's just that if Brother Yun's workshop has a sharp weapon like gunpowder, it is better to let this person avoid it." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Yun already knew what to do, it seems that He Yan is indeed not very authentic, otherwise with Cao Ang's character, he would not speak ill of others behind his back.
Seeing Yuan Yun nodding, Cao Ang asked again, "Didn't Brother Yun take five hundred guan from me before?" Why are you blackmailing my younger siblings today? ”
"Hey, hey, you can eat randomly, you can't talk nonsense, what is blackmail, I'm fair to win back, okay?" After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he continued: "It will take some time for our workshop to open, and I want to expand the workshop a little, so the previous budget is a little insufficient, so I want to get some money back and do some money to make money, so that our workshop can not worry about money in the future." ”
I was ready to say a few more words to Cao Ang, but I saw a maid gently walk behind Cao Ang, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Cao Ang frowned slightly at first, and then nodded, and before Yuan Yun could ask what was the matter, he saw Cao Ang get up and confess, and then walked out of the hall.
Ding seemed to be very happy, and had returned to the main seat, and then pulled Cao Qinghe to talk intimately, and a group of children were walking or sitting during the banquet, each looking for someone to chat and laugh. Seeing such a scene, Yuan Yun sighed in his heart, Cao Cao and Ding seemed to treat him as a child after all, today's banquet is obviously specially set up for children, and he is also invited, the implication is self-evident. But I think it's very good to think about it this way, everyone treats themselves as children, so I can take advantage of this age to live a peaceful life, and I don't have to be intrigued like an adult.
The children's laughter kept coming from everywhere, Ding was still talking and laughing with Cao Qinghe, although the food in front of him was a little unappetizing, but it was also a delicacy of this era, everything seemed harmonious and peaceful, only Cao Jie sat under Yuan Yun and pouted, with an expression of being robbed.
Yuan Yun squinted his eyes and glanced at Cao Jie with bad intentions, and then suddenly smiled: "What? Not convinced? Do you want to make another bet with me? ”
As soon as Cao Jie heard the gambling word, he was so frightened that his whole body was shocked, he glared at Yuan Yun fiercely, closed his lips tightly, and didn't intend to reply to him at all. Yuan Yun seems to have won a big victory, his whole body is comfortable, and he can deter this grumpy future queen, and today's harvest is still very fulfilling.
"If you don't gamble, you don't gamble, why are you so angry? Cheapskate. Yuan Yun then teased Cao Jie, who was now enjoying the feeling of bullying the queen.
"Ming'er is my sister Cao Jie's birthday, Yuan Gongzi can't bully her like this." I don't know when, Cao Qinghe has already left the main seat of the Ding family and came to Yuan Yun's seat.
Yuan Yun glanced at Cao Qinghe, and then at the Ding family on the main seat, and found that there was an elderly maid beside the Ding family whispering something to her, and both the master and servant frowned. Thinking of Cao Ang's hurried departure just now, it seems that something must have happened? Otherwise it wouldn't be so weird.
"Yuan Gongzi? Yuan Gongzi? Cao Qinghe's lark-like voice came again.
Yuan Yun was startled, quickly retracted his thoughts, and then saluted Cao Qinghe, and then said with a wry smile: "I was about to talk to Sister Cao Jie about this, but I didn't want to eat a closed door." ”
Cao Jie immediately said urgently: "He lied, he lied, he was still angry with me just now, sister, don't believe him...... Belch? ”
When Cao Jie spoke, he saw Yuan Yun take out a foldable thing from his arms, which was made of bamboo into a skeleton, and then sewed a thin piece of linen cloth on the skeleton, and after it was completely opened, he found that it was a square thing, which looked very light. In addition, there is a sturdy thin wire attached to the bamboo skeleton, which is very long, and it is all wrapped around a wooden stick with discs on both sides, like the wheels of a car frame.
"This, this, what is this?" Cao Jie asked very cautiously, she was now wary of Yuan Yun.
"I call it a kite, and as long as you hold it with this thin string, you can slowly release it, and this is my birthday present to you." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he handed the kite into Cao Jie's hands, and then sighed secretly in his heart, when he was walking in the back garden with Cao Ang, he knew that tomorrow was Cao Jie's birthday, and temporarily asked Cao Ang to make these things together in Cao's mansion and get a kite out, although it looks ugly, but it shouldn't be a problem to fly.
Cao Jie looked at Yuan Yun very confusedly, he originally wanted to say that the other party was talking nonsense, this kite didn't even have wings, how could it fly? But before the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back, she was really scared by Yuan Yun in front of him, if he said that he could fly, then most of them could really fly, thinking of this, he was suddenly surprised again, the other party could actually create something that could fly, and he was immediately eager to try.
Yuan Yun glanced at the sky outside, because it was the afternoon banquet, so it was just late evening, although the light on the ground was a little dim, but the sky was still very bright.
Seeing such a good sky, Yuan Yun generously invited Cao Jie to test fly outside the hall. This time, Cao Jie behaved very well-behaved, called Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, and then followed Yuan Yun to the garden outside.
The back garden of Caofu is very vast, and it is the end of spring at this moment, and the cool breeze is blowing, but it does not reduce the enthusiasm of these seven or eight-year-old children at all, and all the children are staring at the kites in the sky and keep shouting, which is not enjoyable.
Cao Jie was the most bullish, seeing that everyone threw envious eyes at her, she had long forgotten what happened to be bullied by Yuan Yun just now, and even occasionally threw two sweet smiles.
"I've never seen Sister Jiemei so happy, Yuan Gongzi has worked hard." It was Cao Qinghe who spoke, but at the age of fifteen, he behaved so gently and politely, Yuan Yun secretly praised again.
"It's really hard work, just now I taught Sister Cao Jie to fly a kite, I also fell twice, and I was ridiculed half to death by these little guys, they have revenge." Yuan Yun laughed twice after speaking, and then touched his right leg, just now he dragged the line and ran wildly, and suddenly a dog gnawed, looking very embarrassed, I just hoped not to show Cao Ang, otherwise he would inevitably be laughed at for a lifetime.
"Is the workshop that Yuan Gongzi and his eldest brother made very expensive?" Cao Qinghe asked casually.
Yuan Yun nodded and said, "At first, I just wanted to get a small workshop, but then the idea became bigger and bigger, so the money was tight." ”
Cao Qinghe nodded, and then said with a smile: "I also have five hundred guan, it is better to hand it over to Yuan Gongzi." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, Cao Qinghe in front of him was really a sensible person, he knew that he was working hard to make a workshop, so he sponsored himself so vigorously, since the woman in front of him was so generous, it would be beneficial for everyone.
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun said with a smile: "Well, let's just take Miss Qinghe's shares, and we will share dividends if we have profits in the future." ”
Cao Qinghe tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "I don't know what Yuan Gongzi said about shareholding dividends, but since the money is given to you, it can naturally be at your disposal." ”
Yuan Yun screamed in his heart, what a woman! Although he is only fifteen years old, he knows so well and understands people's hearts, and he is really a good wife. If she says: People have given you, then it is naturally at your disposal. If this is the case, Yuan Yun feels that today's boring banquet is perfect.
Cao Qinghe stood quietly beside Yuan Yun, raising his head to look at the kite flying in the sky, there was some curiosity in his eyes, and some yearning, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, in the sunlight that gradually fell from outside the courtyard wall, her perfect silhouette was clearly reflected, as if a layer of faint golden light was wrapped around the edge of her body, like a fairy-like holy beauty, and the small collarbone exposed behind her head almost dropped Yuan Yun's eyes.
Hey, it's too much, the other party is a young girl, she hasn't graduated from junior high school yet, what are you thinking about here? Yuan Yun gave himself a warning in his heart, and then looked at the sky quietly.
At this time, I saw Cao Ang hurriedly walking from outside the garden, saying hello when he passed by Yuan Yun's side, and then said that he was going to enter the hall to talk to Ding, and his footsteps did not stop for half a minute. You touch the corners of your mouth, haha. ”
After saying this, Cao Ang didn't give Yuan Yun a chance to reply, and had already entered the inner hall, but the laughter kept coming, which made Yuan Yun very unhappy. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that Cao Qinghe was also covering his mouth and laughing, so he remembered Cao Ang's reminder, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, there was really a big piece of soil stuck there, this Cao Qinghe was really a little black, and after talking to himself for so long just now, I didn't see her reminding herself, but she was a little beauty, and Yuan Yun finally generously decided to forgive her.
"It's so lively outside, why doesn't Aunt Ding come out to take a look? Brother Cao Ang too, ran in as soon as he came back. Yuan Yun finally asked the doubts in his heart.
Cao Qinghe smiled when he heard this, then sighed lightly, and then replied: "Aunt Bian is sick, so the eldest brother went to greet her, and now she should go into the house to tell her mother about the situation." ”
Aunt Bian? It should be Cao Cao's second grandmother Bian, in the original history, after Cao Ang's death, Ding returned to his parents' house in a rage, Cao Cao begged her to come back several times to no avail, and finally simply divorced Ding, and straightened Bian's and became Cao's eldest wife, the data shows that this Bian is very powerful, not only takes care of Cao Cao's back garden properly, but also occasionally helps Cao Cao deal with government affairs, many things are with the help of Bian's to make Cao Cao get his wish, such a powerful character is now because he Yuan Yun rescued Cao Ang, and can only become the second wife, Yuan Yun absurdly felt as if he also had to take on a responsibility.
Now I heard Cao Qinghe sigh lightly when he mentioned the Bian family, it seems that there are still a lot of insiders in this, thinking that the Ding family has been whispering to an old maid just now after Cao Ang walked out, I'm afraid there are still some plots of palace fights here, but these have nothing to do with him, his Yuan Yun's wish is to eat and wait for death, where is the heart to participate in the Cao family's soap opera?
As soon as it was dark, Yuan Yun was also ready to say goodbye and go home, although it was very lively today, but it was also very hard, not only to remind Cao Ang in the accounts, but also to deal with a large number of little P children, the most tiring thing is to face Cao Qinghe, a little goblin, only fifteen years old, why do you look so sultry?
Cao Ang and Yuan Yun left the Cao family's main house all the way, and when the two of them got on the frame, Cao Ang said: "I have already instructed someone to investigate the matter of the He family, and I believe that there will be a result soon, if this matter is true, it will be severely punished." ”
Cao Ang said very simply, but Yuan Yun was very pleased to hear it. The reason for the relief is that Cao Ang did not decide everything with just one side of the word, he chose to investigate first, he needs evidence to prove the sins of the He family, not simply blindly obey, this is the most basic quality of a leader, Cao Cao likes this son It seems that it is not for nothing.
Cao Ang saw that Yuan Yun was still silent, so he continued: "Father is now going to crusade against Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shao in the north is now preparing to annex Gongsun Zhan's territory, and it is estimated that once one side in the north wins, it will start to move south, and our Cao clan will bear the brunt of it." And Yuan Shu in the south has bad intentions, since his father welcomed Emperor Xian to Xuchang, he has always had wolf ambitions, once he stands on his own, our Cao clan must crusade against him. Lu Bu has also been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, just waiting for our Cao clan to send troops to Yuan Shu, so that he can sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen. Now that Xuchang is walking on thin ice, I am afraid that the next few years will be very difficult, I don't want to be at this time, these families in our territory are still pulling our hind legs, it is really a crime to die. ”
Yuan Yun looked at Cao Ang, who was irritable, sighed in his heart, and then comforted: "Things should always come, your old son is Cao Cao, you are the eldest son of the Cao family, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, don't you understand this truth?" I was thrown to you by my master for no reason, I'm not worried, what are you worried about? ”
Cao Ang smiled when he heard this, stretched his waist fiercely, and then said: "Sometimes I really don't think that you are a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and sometimes your eyes and thoughts are like a thirty-year-old uncle. ”
Yuan Yun's heart trembled, and he immediately replied angrily: "I'm called a young genius, you are five or six years older than me, and you will come first to be an uncle, don't pull me, a young and invincible little Zhengtai." ”
Although Cao Ang didn't know what Xiao Zhengtai was, but with Yuan Yun's words, he seemed to feel that whether Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan came from the north, it was nothing great, he had gunpowder, and there was a group of men who were willing to fight to the death for the Cao family.
Or is it comfortable at home, and I feel comfortable with my two sisters, this pure sense of trust makes people the most relaxed, how good it would be if I could not go out of the house? Yuan Yun thought so, he had already seen that the lights in the backyard hut were still on, and the sisters probably hadn't slept yet, waiting for him to come back and tell them about the day's experience, it seemed that only in this way could Feng Xuan and Qiaoya confirm that this younger brother was really back, not dreaming, even if it had been almost a month, this habit still could not be changed.
The eldest sister Feng Xuan lost her temper again, because she heard that Yuan Yun dared to blackmail Cao Cao's child; The second sister Qiaoya began to clingy again, because she also wanted the kite that Yuan Yun made; The younger brother Yuan Yun began to snore again, because the eldest sister and the second sister had quietly left his bedroom and covered him with a warm quilt.
It was late at night, and the day of the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty had passed.
