Chapter 36 The Cao Family

Cao Cao was very satisfied with Xu Du's recent performance, those old officials in the court no longer impeached Cao Ren, and the prosperity of the market returned to normal, and everything seemed to be in order. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So this half day he was ready to take a break for a while, went to the back house and talked to Ding, and then accompanied by Bian, he walked around the small courtyard outside the study, and when the two finally chose a flower platform to sit down, they happened to see Xiao Cao Jie happily preparing to go out.

Looking at the small schoolbag she was carrying, Cao Cao guessed that his daughter was going to Yuan's Mansion again, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, Yuanfu's classes were only five or six classes a month, why did Cao Jie almost have to run over every day?

When Cao Cao saw Cao Jie like this, he immediately became unhappy, and complained to the Bian family beside him: "It's really a big girl, Cao Jie doesn't come to the old man's study to sneak around now, and he knows to run to Yuan's mansion all day long, and you don't care about teaching?" ”

Bian covered his mouth and smiled, then looked at his husband and said, "Are you eating that Yuan boy's vinegar?" ”

Cao Cao snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves and left Bian's family, then walked over in a few steps, and smiled at Cao Jie, who was jumping up and about to board the frame: "Where are you going to go here?" ”

Cao Jie was startled, and when he saw his father, he quickly jumped off the frame again, and then replied respectfully: "Jie'er is going to study in Yuan's Mansion, and my brother-in-law is going to take the school exam today." ”

Cao Cao twitched twice in a row, and then said in a seductive tone: "I won't go to school today, I will accompany my father and I will go to the West Market for a walk, and I will buy you some delicious and fun food when I go back." ”

Cao Jie replied without even thinking about it: "I have made an appointment with my brother-in-law today, how can I say that I won't go if I don't go, my father doesn't teach festivals on weekdays, and people should be trustworthy?" ”

Cao Cao was speechless, squinted slightly, and immediately continued: "Today, my father is going to take the school exam first to take your usual homework, so now accompany my father and me to the study." ”

Cao Jie pouted, seemed to be very unhappy, today there is a big matter to discuss with Yuan Yun, Luoyang is a huge business, and he must be able to make a lot of money, I heard that Brother Cao Ang seems to have gotten a percent of the shares, and I heard Guo Yi say that Guo's family also got a percent, if he slows down, he can only be empty-handed.

However, his father's words must be inviolable, so he could only follow Cao Cao stupidly, and Bian, who followed on the side, kept covering his mouth and laughing, and he was really helpless about this father and daughter.

When he arrived in the study, Cao Jie obediently brought Cao Cao a cup of tea, and then put it on the table, and then sat down honestly.

At this moment, Cao Cao also opened Cao Jie's small schoolbag, and then carefully looked at the records on various books, and immediately admired Cai Wenji's evaluation of Cao Jie.

After a long time, he patted Cao Jie's little head and smiled: "My son is smart, even the talented girl Cai Wenji admires you, and she is very proud of her father, but what does the ninety-nine on the head of this volume mean?" ”

Cao Jie stretched his neck and glanced at it, then said with a smile: "This is the score that Sister Wen Ji gave to Jie'er, and the full score is one hundred points, but this time Sister Wen Ji said that I was not attentive, so I gave ninety-nine points, and Guo Yi scored seventy points, and I laughed for a long time." ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, his daughter is so smart, that is, his own blood is good, this is understandable, he was happy, but he found that Cao Jie began to pack up the small schoolbag and stuffed a volume into it.

Seeing such a Cao Jie, Cao Cao smiled, stopped Cao Jie's small hand, and then took out the scroll, spread it out, and looked up, with a big fifty-nine points written on it.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, just looking at this note, he knew that it was Yuan Yun's handwriting, and only his handwriting would be so ugly.

Glancing at Cao Jie, who was a little timid, Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Why does Jie'er have such a small score in your brother-in-law's studies, and why is it fifty-nine, not sixty?" ”

Cao Jie's face was slightly red, and he muttered: "Sixty points is a passing grade, and fifty-nine means that you haven't passed." ”

Cao Cao smiled, there was nothing to worry about Yuan Yun's score arrangement, after all, his daughter was handed over to him to teach, he didn't think much about it, and encouraged Cao Jie and said: "Jie'er doesn't have to be discouraged, as long as my Cao Cao's daughter is serious, naturally there is nothing to live in." ”

After speaking, Cao Cao was suddenly stunned, and then pointed to the messy symbols on the scroll and said, "What are these words, why can't I understand any of them, father?" ”

Cao Jie replied a little discouraged: "My brother-in-law said that this is called Arabic numerals, a total of ten, but the writing is different from that of a man, but it is more convenient to write than a man." ”

Cao Cao frowned and looked at those crooked numbers, and finally sighed, and then said: "Father's arithmetic when he was a child was also very good, if Jie'er doesn't understand anything, it's better to ask my father." ”

Cao Jie's eyes lit up, Yuan Yun said before, if you can't figure out these things like multiplication root numbers today, you won't be allowed to have dinner in Yuan's mansion, but Yuan's mansion has a favorite sweet and sour pork ribs today.

After thinking about it, Cao Jie immediately pointed to a root number on the volume and said: "Can my father teach Jie'er how to substitute these equations, and this root number ......?"

Cao Cao listened to his head as big as an ox, and in an instant, he wondered: "Isn't arithmetic just addition and subtraction?" What is this root number used for? ”

Cao Jie shook his head and said, "Jie'er is not very clear, but Cao Zhi and Cao Chong have learned, and Guo Yi, the bastard, has also learned, but I am always a little confused." ”

Cao Cao only then felt that this was probably Yuan Yunxian's arithmetic, but it was not an ordinary thing, but he didn't expect Yuan Yun to teach such profound knowledge to a few children, and his two sons had learned it.

Thinking like this, Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, then put away the scroll, and then said to Cao Jie: "What other knowledge has Jie'er learned?" Let's just say what you learned from your brother-in-law. ”

Cao Jie tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then replied: "There is also geometry, physics and chemistry, my brother-in-law said that if you understand these disciplines, you can understand everything in the world, even if you want to build a few more new cities, it is easy." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Did Yuan Yun say this himself?" ”

Cao nodded and said, "Yes, my brother-in-law is very serious when he says it, not at all like his usual informality." ”

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said: "Jie'er is a blessed person, your brother-in-law is willing to teach you the skills of the immortal family, which others can't ask for, you have to be good at learning, don't be greedy and miss your studies." ”

Bian Shi has been listening quietly on the side, when he heard Cao Jie say that Yuan Yun taught those advanced knowledge, he couldn't help but be shocked, and in an instant he wanted to lose his temper, Cao Pi that kid didn't know what to think, Yuan Yun, a child of the immortal family, could teach something bad, why did he just go to Cao Ren?

After Cao Jie was sent away by Cao Cao, Bian sighed and said: "I don't know what Pi'er thinks, if you don't let Yuan Yun be so knowledgeable, you have to go to Cao Ren, and there is Cai Wenji in Yuan's mansion, and even Zheng Xuan's family, studying there is the right way, don't you worry, they are all your children." ”

Cao Cao stretched comfortably, and then said with a smile: "The path Cao Pi chooses, as a father, naturally supports him to do it, even if he hits his head and breaks the bloodstream, he has to bear it himself, if everyone is strictly guarded and protected everywhere, they will become waste sooner or later, how can my Cao Cao's children be like this?" ”

Bian sighed again and said, "Parents always want their children to get better, and now it's obviously better to go to Yuan's Mansion, why don't you keep it for Pi'er?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, although Yuan Yun has a great ability in the immortal family, but he has no ambitions, more like a little fox, you haven't seen Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, who went to Yuan's mansion, they have now established their own ideals and ambitions, but none of them want to compete for the position of the old man, this is not good, you can't become a tiger without fighting." ”

Bian Shi immediately said unhappily: "That little bastard is paving the way for Cao Ang, all your heirs will not take the heir, Cao Ang will not be logical, this bastard can be a thief." ”

Cao Cao laughed out loud and said: "This kid's little abacus, how can he hide it from the old man, since he is new to help Cao Ang, the old man is happy to see it." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Bian again, and then chuckled: "What, are you jealous, blaming this kid for only helping Cao Ang, but ignoring your child?" ”

Bian smiled bitterly: "How can the concubine body have such an unbearable idea, it's just that since this kid has let Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang have other ideals and ambitions, why can't he bring Cao Pi by the way, so that Cao Ang's position is secure, and he takes great care of his younger brothers and sisters, so the concubine body has not so much to worry about, alas." ”

Cao Cao smiled slightly, picked up the teapot on the table, poured it into his mouth, and when the tea finished moistening his throat, he said to Bian: "Yuan Yun's concubine has already taken over some of the family's business, since you have opened this convenient door for him, it is better to give some to Cao Pi, so that after they have some intersections, maybe the relationship will be better." ”

Bian's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "Yuan Yun recently mentioned to the concubine, saying that there are some business matters in Luoyang, and he plans to let the concubine give some money, since he comes to the door, the concubine will go to discuss it with him." ”

Cao Cao saw Bian's face, and immediately reminded with some concern: "Don't be too ruthless, our son-in-law is still very useful, don't bully too much, in case he doesn't take the initiative to talk to you about business in the future, won't Cao Fu lose a lot?" ”

Bian smiled proudly, suddenly frowned, and said indignantly: "This kid deserves to be bullied by me, the concubine has worked hard to raise him, and it is not cheap for him, now that he has come to the door, he has to bear it well!" ”

Cao Cao's heart trembled, he knew best how powerful Bian was, this wife was gentle and gentle on weekdays, but when she was really serious, it was estimated that no one could stand it.
