Chapter 295: Rainy Season
After Cao Shuo left, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to the house.
Liu Bei said: "Cao Zirong begged me to help buy a horse, if I don't agree, he will definitely find a reason to kill me." If I agree, I'm afraid of his ways. ”
"Since the last time I saw Cao Zirong, I knew that he had prejudices against his brother." Zhang Fei said: "What should he do? If he dares to be unfavorable to his brother, I will kill him. ”
"Third brother, don't be impulsive." Guan Yu said on the side: "This is Xu Du, you dare to touch Cao Zirong, how can Cao Cao spare us?" As soon as we die, it's nothing for the two of us, but if you affect your brother, will you be at peace? ”
Zhang Fei sighed and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, why don't we go elsewhere." ”
"Where to vote?" Liu Bei said: "Gongsun Zan himself is difficult to protect, and Lu Bu and I have become a fire and water. Yuan Shao is now busy pacifying Hebei, let's go to vote, I'm afraid it's not as good as here. ”
"What then?" Zhang Fei said: "Can't you jump into it knowing that it's a pit? ”
Liu Bei ignored him, but asked him and Guan Yu, "Two virtuous brothers, how do you think Cao Zirong will trap me?" ”
"Just buying a horse, I can't think of where he's going to start." Guan Yu said with a frown.
Guan Yu couldn't think of it, and of course Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out.
Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "With Cao Zirong's previous style, I suspect that he didn't want to pay at all." ”
"If you don't want to pay for it, you want to buy a horse?" Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "What good thing does he want?" ”
"If he thought about paying for it, why did he come to me?" Liu Bei said: "And he only said to buy a horse, but he didn't mention when the money would be delivered." ”
"What will he do?" Guan Yu asked.
"It should be that the horses are about to be sent to Xudu, and he sent someone to intercept them halfway." Liu Bei said: "In this way, I am the one who bought the horse, and I am the one who loses my trust!" ”
"What a sinister villain, brother ignore him." Zhang Fei said: "If he presses hard, he will go to Cao Cao to complain." ”
"Do you think Cao Zirong came to me and wouldn't greet Cao Mengde beforehand?" Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I have to buy it for him, and the sooner the better!" ”
"Knowing that Cao Zirong is not kind, my brother still wants to help him buy a horse." Zhang Fei said with annoyance: "I have never seen someone who wants to be so sincere as my brother!" ”
"How dare people stand out on the sword." Liu Bei sighed.
"We're not turtles, we have to hide in our shells, why don't we dare to come out?" Zhang Fei said with a glaring eye.
"The two virtuous brothers don't need to say much." Liu Bei said: "Even if you want to find a horse for Cao Zirong, you can't give him a chance to get in the way." I think that the horses are divided into several batches, a hundred at a time, so that he cannot deny it, what do you two think? ”
"That's a good idea." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and both of them nodded in response.
Leaving Liu Bei's residence, Cao Shuo asked Wang Yan, "What do you think of Liu Bei?" ”
"It seems to be very generous, but when I see him, I just don't feel well." Wang Yan said: "But I can't tell what's wrong. ”
"Your instincts are good enough to protect you." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If there is anyone in this world who has a dignified face and a treacherous heart to the fullest, there is no one else except Liu Bei." ”
Wang Yan didn't say anything, he didn't care about others at all.
After coming to the Cao family, she only valued two people.
One is Cao Shuo, and the other is Zhen Mi.
Since Wang Yue was discovered by Cao Shuo, there is one more person she values!
"Where is the banquet?" Cao Shuo asked the guard.
One of the guards who followed behind replied: "Hui Gongzi, I booked a private room in Mochizuki Tower." ”
"The private room is back." Cao Shuo said: "Let them send the wine and food to Guo Gong's house." ”
One of the guards left in response, and Cao Shuo said to Wang Yan: "Liu Bei is not going to the banquet, it just so happens that I can use these drinks and dishes to entertain more important people." It's not interesting to go home too early, I'll take you to the west of the city first, and then go to Guo Gong's Mansion to play. ”
"Wherever Childe wants to go, I'll accompany you." Wang Yan replied lightly.
"I have something to discuss with Guo Gong." Cao Shuo said: "After you get there, go find Duchess Guo or his sister-in-law." When a man talks about things, it is embarrassing for his daughter's family to listen to it. ”
took Wang Yan out, Cao Shuo knew that she would be bored at home all day with Wang Yue.
Liu Bei refused to go to the banquet, so he thought of going to Guo Jia.
Xun You had already told him that Guo Jia's sister was both beautiful and talented.
It's a pity that Guo Jia strictly guarded him, so he didn't have a chance at all.
Since he came out with Wang Yan and asked his daughter's family to go to Guo Jia's sister to play, Guo Jia had no reason to refuse no matter how reluctant he was.
Even if there are thousands of precautions, there will always be loopholes!
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.
The person the second son of the Cao family wants to see, he still doesn't believe that you can prevent it if you are too filial piety!
Until then, he had to make a trip to the west of the city.
When he was eating with the four beauties, Cao Shuo thought of a good way to make money.
The west of the city are all merchants from Wancheng.
Among them, the tavern is all managed by him, and it will be the foundation for him to make money in the future.
Through this horse purchase, Cao Shuo knew that although he had Zhou Hao, the captain of the school, but only the income from digging graves was not enough to support the expenses of the army.
There will be more and more officers in the army in the future, and now there are only a few thousand, which has stretched him to the limit.
He is just the son of the Cao family, and he can't collect taxes like Cao Cao.
If you want to make money, you have to think of more ways!
After following Cao Shuo for a while, Wang Yan asked, "Son, the people in the city don't seem to like you very much." ”
"How so?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Why is it that where the son goes, the people are closed." Looking at the side of the road, Wang Yan said: "Especially women, seeing Gongzi is like hiding from the plague." There's just one thing I don't understand. ”
"My son is handsome and talented. When the women in the city saw me, they felt ashamed of themselves, and it was understandable that they were hiding. Cao Shuo asked, "What do you not understand?" ”
Wang Yan felt that Cao Shuo's statement seemed to be wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, there was a little bit of truth.
Although she was already able to communicate with people, after all, her thoughts were still simple, so she said: "Most of the women who hide will hide behind the crack of the door or behind the window to peek at the child. ”
"Am I right?" Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "They admire me, but they feel that they are not worthy." When I saw it, it was as humid as it was during the rainy season. In order to avoid embarrassment, you can only hide it. ”
grinned at Wang Yan: "I can't look down on any woman, as a woman who is favored by me and will marry me in the future, you can be happy." ”
