Cao Shuo returned to Xudu, except for a small gathering with Cao Cao's generals and staff every day, most of the rest of the time was at Ding Yao's.

Mrs. Bian's residence, he really didn't go back once.

In Ding Yao's room, the mother and son sat at the table facing each other.

Filling a piece of preserved fruit in Cao Shuo's mouth, Ding Yao asked, "Have you gone to the slut's residence after you came back?" ”

"Which slut?" Eating preserved fruits, Cao Shuo asked.

"The slut of the Bian family." Ding Yao said: "Although she once wanted to harm you, she also raised you nominally for many days, and if you don't go to see her, it can't be justified in the eyes of outsiders." ”

"That's what Mother said." Cao Shuo said: "I'll take a trip from her when I go back." ”

"Is there any movement in the Yuan family recently?" Ding Yao asked.

"Nothing special." Cao Shuo said: "I heard that the trial wrote a letter to Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan stood on the city wall, crying more miserably than Liu Bei. ”

"You'll be able to compare." Ding Yao smiled lightly and said to Cao Shuo: "Liu Xuande was not lightly ruined by you. ”

"I didn't spoil him." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "Liu Xuande has three things that are unparalleled in the world. ”

"What is he capable of?" Ding Yao said: "You drove them all to Xinye." ”

"Rush to Xinye, after all, I haven't been able to kill him." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande is not dead, I always feel a little uneasy. ”

"Didn't you say that he only had three things to do, and that you wanted him to die so hard?" Ding Yao said with some doubts: "I have never seen anyone you hate to such a situation. ”

"Actually, I can't say hate, I just know that if he doesn't die, it will cause a lot of trouble for our Cao family, and the unification of the world will also become an unattainable dream." Cao Shuo said: "Don't look at Liu Xuande, he will only run away, cry and stab twice. But he showed these things vividly. Looking at the world, there is really no one who can compare to him. ”

"Hearing you say this, I feel that you love and hate Liu Xuande." Ding Yao said: "Actually, you like his talent, but you hate that he can't be used for you." ”

"He's not the kind of person who can be used by anyone." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande is a hero, if there is no Cao family in the world, he has the ability to dominate the world." However, there is already a Cao family in the world, and it will be superfluous for him to appear again. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying." Ding Yao smiled lightly, stuffed another piece of preserved fruit into Cao Shuo's mouth, looked at him lovingly and asked, "Is it sweet?" ”

"My favorite thing is my mother's preserved fruit." Cao Shuo said: "I always feel that it is sweeter than what I eat in Huainan." ”

"How long did it take to finish eating the ones you brought back last time?" Ding Yao asked.

"Go back and give some to the back house, I'll keep some for myself, more than ten days." Cao Shuo said: "After all, it's so delicious, as long as you start eating, you can't stop." ”

"Bring more with you this time." Ding Yao said: "When I returned to Shouchun, my mother asked me to load a carriage for you. ”

"How can you eat so much?" Cao Shuo smiled: "Mother loves me, I know." But there is no need to carry a wagon of preserved fruits, and this thing cannot be stored, and it will be broken if it is left there for a month. ”

"It seems to be the same." Ding Yao smiled: "It's that I thought badly, you ate here at noon, and when you go back in the afternoon, you will take a trip from the Bian family's slut's residence." It's just that you have to remember that she still has a lot of status in front of your father now, but you must not be offended. ”

"It's not myself who really worries me, it's my mother." Cao Shuo said: "My mother has a pure temperament and doesn't know how to harm others. It's in the back house all day, and if there is a villain who tries to be unfavorable to his mother, I'm afraid it's ......"

Cao Shuo sighed, and then said to Ding Yao: "Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi are both capable of something, they used to wander around with Liu Xuande, and Liu Xuande was also very ordinary to them. Now that they are in the back house of the Cao family, because they are newcomers, the other ladies are all estranged, although my Bian family's mother wants to win them over, but they are very close to their mother. With the two of them here, they are also a foil to their mother, but don't be estranged. ”

"Don't worry." Ding Yao smiled and said to Cao Shuo: "You have a lot of eyes all day long, I have been in charge of the back house for so long, don't you even understand such a little truth?" ”

Cao Shuo accompanied Ding Yao to talk and did not leave until lunch.

Mrs. Bian's residence was not too far from Ding Yao's residence.

Walking along the path to the door of Mrs. Bian's residence, Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji: "Come forward and call the door." ”

Cai Ji responded, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the door knocker and slapped it hard.

After a while, the door opened, and a maid poked her head out and asked Cai Ji, "Why are you knocking?" ”

"Childe came to meet Mrs. Bian." Cai Ji stepped aside and said to the maid, "Please also ask my sister to pass through." ”

When Cai Ji got out of the way, the maid saw Cao Shuo standing behind.

When Cao Shuo returned to Xudu, he did not come to visit Mrs. Bian.

Seeing him standing behind, the maid hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the eldest son." ”

"Please tell the mother of the Bian family, and say that I will come to visit." Cao Shuo gave a command to the maid.

The maid hurriedly responded and ran into the inner house as quickly as possible.

After a while, Mrs. Bian ran out with Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhang is two years older, and at the age of eleven or twelve, he already has the appearance of a teenager.

And Cao Zhi is still too young now, but at the age of seven or eight, he still looks a little cute.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Mrs. Bian immediately smiled.

She bowed: "I've seen the eldest son." ”

"How can my mother give me such a great gift?" Cao Shuo stepped forward to hold Mrs. Bian's hands, and said apologetically: "Back to Xudu, there are too many things to do, and I only came to see me now, and I hope that my mother will not be strange." ”

"The eldest son is now a person in the eldest lady's room, and there is no need to call me mother anymore." Mrs. Bian said softly: "I'm afraid it's not good to be listened to by the eldest lady." ”

"A mother for one day and a mother for life." Cao Shuo said: "I grew up next to my mother when I was a child, how can I change my mind so easily? ”

Cao Shuo insisted, and Mrs. Bian didn't say more, and greeted Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi: "I haven't seen the eldest brother yet." ”

"Eldest brother." Cao Zhang, like a little adult, made a fist salute to Cao Shuo.

Cao Zhi pounced in front of Cao Shuo, hugged his thighs and looked up at him and asked, "Eldest brother came back this time, did you bring us anything interesting?" ”

Rubbing Cao Zhi's head and looking at Cao Zhang, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "The two brothers have also grown up, and now I am not in Xudu, every time I come back to see each other, it is different from the previous time, and the days are really fast." ”

"Zihuan was in Shouchun a few days ago, but the trouble Zi melted." Mrs. Bian said: "When they grow up, they will have to carry more Zirong." ”
