Chapter 106: Into Luoyang

Throughout the night, Widow Xing did not come back, and Cao Ju naturally understood that Widow Xing had gone back to her mother's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the eyes of Cao Qi and the people of Cao Jiabao who later knew about it, Widow Xing was not a member of the Cao family if she got a letter of resignation, and it was normal for her to go back to her parents' home, but only Cao Ju himself understood the real reason why Widow Xing returned to her parents' house.

In desperation, Cao Ju had to hand over the letter of resignation to Cao Lun, and asked him to go to Xingjia Village and hand it over to the widow Xing. Then early the next morning, Cao Ju and the three of them said goodbye to their families and rode on the road.

Cao Ju didn't dare to stay in Caojiabao any longer, otherwise, if Tian Rong came back today, his marriage with Tian Jiao would no longer be able to drag on, and it would be difficult for Zhang Ning to explain to him in the future.

It really made Cao Ju's worry happen, just less than an hour after Cao Ju and the three of them left Caojiabao, Tian Rong and his son really came again, they didn't bring any gifts today, but they brought dozens of masons.

Knowing that Cao Ju and the three had just left, Tian Rong couldn't help but regret it, so he had to set up the marriage with Cao Liu's family first, but because Cao Ju was not at home, he didn't know when the wedding day would be.

Tian Jiao got the news, her heart was mixed, happy that their marriage was finally recognized and confirmed by the elders of both sides, and there would be no changes, the worry was that Cao Ju went to Luoyang, I don't know when I will come back, and when the two will get married.

Moreover, Tian Jiao also learned from Tian Ye and Tian Song that in addition to Cao Ju's family, there were more beauties from Cao Song's family for two months, Xu Song's concubine Liao Wan'er from Qinglou was also in his house, and there was also a snow-white beauty, plus the widow Xing who was full of rumors in the city, which couldn't help but make Tian Jiao suddenly have a lot of pressure.

After Cao Ju's case passed, a lot of news was also spread, including Liao Wan'er who took the risk of delivering a message for Cao Ju, but was discovered by the Xu family and was sentenced to 20 canes, and then, Cao Ju killed Xu Song, washed Xu's mansion in blood, and only took Liao Wan'er away, which seemed to be specifically to save Liao Wan'er.

Therefore, there is no one who doesn't think that Cao Ju and Liao Wan'er had nothing to do with before, and some people even think that when Liao Wan'er was still in the Qinglou, the two of them got along, but Cao Ju didn't have the money to redeem her. Later, Xu Song also fell in love with Liao Wan'er, ransomed her, and accepted her as a concubine, but Cao Ju and Liao Wan'er were still disconnected.

Then, when Xu Song found out about this, he wanted to put Cao Ju to death, and the dispute between the two began, but Xu Song was not Cao Ju's opponent, and not only did he take his own life, but Liao Wan'er finally fell into Cao Ju's hands again.

This rumor was heard by Cao Ju later, and he couldn't help crying and laughing, but he didn't expect that the imagination of people in this era was so rich.

When Cao Ju heard the news, he could ignore it and not take it to heart, but Liao Wan'er was different. After a night of contemplation, she quietly left the Cao family and went to the Lingyun Temple at the east gate of Qiaocheng to become a female Taoist priest.

From Qiaocheng to Luoyang, a total of more than 750 miles, Cao Ju and the three of them galloped all the way, and finally arrived at Luoyang City before dark.

Cao Ju is a Huang Jiao horse, traveling thousands of miles a day and walking eight hundred at night, but Dian Wei and Li Hui's are ordinary fast horses, and the speed is much worse than Huang Jiao, this is still because of Dian Wei's weight, Cao Ju let him ride Huang Jiao, otherwise, he would not be able to catch up with Luoyang before dark.

"Luoyang." The three of them stationed at the north gate of Luoyang three miles away, looking at the tall and majestic Luoyang City, the endless flow of people, Cao Ju couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Luoyang is worthy of being the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, and it is by no means comparable to the city of Qiaojunzhi.

It's just that such a majestic building and such a large number of people will suffer painfully after Dong Zhuo arrives, and later because they were forcibly led to Guannai, millions of people will not be left behind after arriving in Guannai, which can be seen to be miserable.

Most people think that Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing is the fault of He Jin and Yuan Shao, in fact, the emperor is young, his relatives are in power, how many people have no ambitions, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan are just two of them, but Ding Yuan has not fought Dong Zhuo. Cao Ju believes that even if He Jin didn't order Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan to enter Beijing, the two would not be more secure, and the result would be the same.

"Let's go, let's go into town." After sighing for a while, Cao Juyi waved his hand and took Dian Wei and Li Hui towards the north gate of Luoyang.

Cao Cao once served as the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang in the northern region of Luoyang, although many years have passed, but Cao Cao's deeds of killing Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu are still talked about by many people, so Cao Ju and the three of them reported Cao Cao's name, saying that they were ordered to come to the West Garden to report to the forbidden army, and the sergeant guarding the city immediately stood in awe, and explained Cao Cao's residence to Cao Ju and the three of them in great detail.

Cao Cao's residence is in the northern area of Luoyang, otherwise, from Qiaocheng to Luoyang, Cao Ju and the three of them should enter from the east gate, how can they go around the north gate in half a circle.

After entering the city, although it was almost dark, there were still many pedestrians on the road, and the three of them could not ride their horses at all, so they had to dismount together and lead the horses forward.

After a while, when they arrived at the intersection in front, it was even more crowded, and Cao Ju and the three of them walked over and found that the flow of people from the east, west, north and south were all gathered here, and the blockage was naturally normal.

There is no traffic light, Cao Ju's first reaction is the reason for the blockage here, and he secretly thinks that the concept of traffic lights can be introduced into this era in advance.

According to the city gate guards, Cao Ju and the three of them soon came to Cao Cao's residence, which was not very eye-catching, only a big "Cao" word was written in front of the mansion, and there was not even a plaque, and the gate was not magnificent at all, much worse than the Qiaocheng Tian family.

Li Hui looked at it, expressed his incomprehension, and said: "Lord Cao is too simple, how to say it, it is more than the status of a captain of two thousand stones, and it is not even comparable to some big families in Qiaocheng." ā€

Naive?

Cao Ju rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, you don't understand, it's not that Cao Cao is simple, it's that he has no money. What is more than 2,000 stones, this is Luoyang, it is the capital, and the housing prices are naturally not comparable to the city, just like the difference between the housing prices of the first-tier cities and the fourth-tier cities in later generations, almost ten times the existence of the concept.

Of course, Cao Ju didn't bother to explain the concept of housing prices to Li Hui, so he asked him to come forward and knock on the door, Li Hui immediately agreed, jumped off the horse, and walked quickly to the door, ready to knock.

"Squeak", as soon as Li Hui stretched out his hand, the door opened, and a mighty young man walked out of it, followed by a doorman who bowed his head.

When the man saw that there were three people and three riders at the door, he was stunned for a moment, then saw Cao Ju, and immediately said with great joy: "Ah Ju, you are finally here, Meng De was still talking about you just now." ā€
