Chapter 3: Father and Son

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen motioned for Cao Shuang to sit down, "Tomorrow morning, you go to your father's study, and our father and son will have a good chat, and the matter of apprenticeship will be put aside for the time being." Cao Shuang didn't understand what Cao Zhen was thinking, but he couldn't disobey his father's wishes, so he had to listen to Cao Zhen's words and sit down and continue eating.

The next day, after Cao Shuang got out of private school, he just returned to Cao's mansion. I saw Cao Zhi, the chief housekeeper of the Cao Mansion, trotting over and helping Cao Shuang get out of the carriage, "Childe, the general has returned to the house and waited in the study for a long time, and the general asked the villain to wait for the prince here." "Thank you." Cao Shuang straightened his clothes and thanked Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Childe is polite, this is what a villain should do." Although Cao Zhi said that he didn't dare, he was still happy in his heart.

"The child meets his father." Cao Shuang walked into Cao Zhen's study. Cao Zhen saw Cao Shuang coming in, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and motioned for Cao Shuang to sit down. Although Cao Shuang worked very hard to adapt to the lifestyle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was still unhappy with kneeling, and sooner or later, Lao Tzu would build a chair to free his buttocks and legs.

"Shuang'er, last night you said that you want to learn the art of war and martial arts, but is this true?" Cao Zhen looked at Cao Shuang very seriously.

Cao Shuang bowed respectfully and replied, "The child wants to learn from a teacher sincerely, and it is not a whim. ”

"What I wish is that Wen can put pen to peace in the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world." Cao Shuang's tone was very firm.

Cao Zhen rolled up the bamboo slip on the table in front of him, "Who taught you these words?" ”

"No one, all are the heartfelt words of children." Cao Shuang met Cao Zhen's skeptical eyes, and his eyes were full of determination.

Six-year-old Cao Shuang's words made Cao Zhen have to re-examine the child in front of him, which is what a six-year-old child can say, Cao Zhen feels very happy, is it God bless the Cao family and descend the unicorn. At this time, Cao Zhen seemed to see a bright future. Putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, Cao Zhen walked to Cao Shuang's side and gently touched Cao Shuang's head, "You go back to the room first, and the matter of apprenticeship is wrapped up in the father." After Cao Zhen said this, he ordered Cao Zhi to prepare the horse and go out, leaving Xiao Cao Shuang messy in the wind, what kind of medicine was sold in his father's gourd.

Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao's study.

"Father, the child has a reluctant request." Cao Zhen was very respectful and saluted the person sitting on the upper seat.

This person is seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, a little gray hair on his temples, and although his appearance is mediocre, he gives people a sense of oppression that is not angry and self-threatening, which is the aura cultivated by those who have been in power for many years. This person is the founder of Cao Wei, Cao Zhen's father, and Cao Shuang's grandfather - Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very curious to look at his son, who had always been strong, and today he actually had something to ask for himself. Cao Zhen has always been very strong, he is now the cavalry captain of the leopard cavalry in the tiger and leopard cavalry, although Cao Cao appointed him as the leopard cavalry lieutenant with clan considerations, but it is more Cao Zhen's ability to make Cao Cao feel at ease to hand over his elite cavalry troops to Cao Zhen. Cao Cao put down the bamboo slip in his hand, "Zidan, you have never begged for loneliness." Tell me what the hell is going on for you to beg for a lonely one. ”

"The child came here this time for Cao Shuang's apprenticeship." Cao Zhen didn't dare to be a little disrespectful in front of his father.

Cao Cao touched his beard, which already had a white beard, "Cao Shuang? My grandson is only six years old, right? Didn't he already study in a private school, and what kind of teacher did he study? ”

Cao Shuang told the child that what he wished in his life was that the literature could be used to settle the world, and the martial arts could be used to determine the world. So he wanted to learn the art of war and martial arts. Cao Zhen said what Cao Shuang said to Cao Cao word for word. Cao Zhen hopes that Cao Shuang can worship under several famous generals of the Cao Group, which will be beneficial to Cao Shuang's future. Even if Cao Shuang can't become the support of the Cao Group, he can spend his life safely by virtue of his master-apprenticeship status as a meritorious veteran of the Cao family, and Cao Zhen is also heartbroken for his son. At this time, Cao Shuang had just finished exercising, and was eating the snacks that Zhang ordered the kitchen to make in the room

"My grandson is very good, I'm afraid it's not that simple for you to come here, right?" Cao Cao asked with half-squinted eyes.

With Cao Zhen's identity, it is not simple to find a famous general to be Cao Shuang's master, but to let several famous generals of the Cao Group be Cao Shuang's master, and Cao Cao has to come forward. Cao Zhen smiled slightly, "Father, what you expected is not bad. The child wanted to beg his father to give an order to let a few uncles and generals teach Shuang'er, don't hide your secrets. ”

Cao Cao laughed, "Lone knows that it's not that simple, you kid is very calculating." "Who is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and others were defeated by Cao Cao one after another, and when he plucked out a single hair, it was empty, how could he not understand the joints. Cao Cao took a sip of water to ease his cough, "It's a little strange that a six-year-old child can say such things. After tomorrow's court meeting, I invite everyone to come here, you bring Shuang'er over, and I will test it in public. If it's really a thousand-mile horse, being a father will definitely let everyone teach him, you think it's good. ”

"Do as my father commands." In fact, more than half of the matter has already happened, and Cao Zhen can really help here, as for the next thing, it depends on Cao Shuang's own.

"It's okay, you can go back first." Cao Cao snorted lightly again.

Cao Zhen had just turned around and wanted to leave, when he heard Cao Cao coughing incessantly, "Father, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay to be alone, you can go back." Cao Cao clenched his fist in front of his mouth with one hand, and waved his other hand to signal Cao Zhen to retreat.

Cao Cao has been in poor health since he returned from Chibi. Although Cao Cao never said it, Cao Zhen knew that the defeat was a big blow to Cao Cao. "Father, you must take care of your health." After speaking, Cao Zhen walked out of Cao Cao's study.

Cao Zhen returned to the house and told Cao Shuang to let Cao Shuang go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with him tomorrow. If he can pass Cao Cao's test, several generals of the Cao family can become his masters. Happiness always comes too suddenly, originally Cao Shuang thought that as long as he worshiped under one of Xiahoudun and others, it would be excellent, but he didn't expect his father to fight for such a good opportunity for himself, this is simply winning the Mark Six lottery, Cao Shuang happily thanked Cao Zhen and returned to his small courtyard. Cao Shuang was humming an unknown tune in the room, and Xu Nu asked Li Cong, "Childe, what's wrong today?" Happy as the New Year. Li Cong shook his head, "I don't know, the general talked to Gongzi in the study, and this was the case after Gongzi came out." Li Nu said in surprise, "It can't be that I hurt my brain last time, right?" Before Li Nu finished speaking, she was lightly slapped on the head by Xu Nu, "Don't talk nonsense." Li Nu stuck out her tongue and said nothing.
