――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It's night!

It's the end of the year.

The ninth year of Jian'an has come to the last day unconsciously.

Maybe it's for a farewell, maybe it's for a welcome. Outside the window, it was pouring ice and rain, and the water was cloudy and shrouded in a layer of fog, which looked particularly hazy. In the courtyard, there is still a bit of loneliness. A few red plums hidden in the corner, even in the middle of winter, still bloom proudly, I don't know when they fell, and the petals fell on the snow.

Inside the house, the lights are lit.

Cai Yan sat by the window, looking at the withering outside the window, feeling a little empty.

"That night, I thought it was Sister Cai!"

"If you don't give up, please come with me...... Let's go, you are alone, it is better to go to Guzang with us. ”

"Okay, then I'll take Cai Di!"

"Sister Cai, I'm also looking for someone to be a companion, so why don't you move to the barracks......"

“……”

For some reason, Cao Peng's voice kept echoing in his ears.

It has been two years since Shen Tuze first met. In the past two years, Cao Pengruo has respected her like a brother, respected her, and never had any rudeness. But the sentence the day before yesterday inadvertently plucked the string in Cai Yan's letter.

Seriously, she had never thought of it before.

But for some reason, it seems a little dazed now.

Zhen Mi is married to Cao Peng!

Although he only married Cao Peng as a concubine, he had at least a name.

Anyway, she has Cao Peng's child, and she will have a settlement in the future. Even if it's a concubine, it's better than being lonely like yourself. Although he has a younger sister, he has not been in touch for many years, and I don't know where he is now...... Cai Yan sat there in a daze. She couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt when Zhen Mi told her that Cao Peng was going to marry her. There is sourness, desolation, and some loss.

During the day, when looking at Zhen Mi's flower-like smile and satisfaction, Cai Yan was a little jealous.

Once upon a time, she had such joy.

It's just that fate has made her numb...... Although Zhen Mi is also a second wife, she is much happier than her! At least, Cao Peng is a man who understands his daughter's mind very well. This is not to say that Cao Peng is romantic, but that he knows how to be considerate, not like those reckless men, who do not understand the amorous feelings, and have no interest.

If you really marry him, it will be a blessing.

"Auntie, are you uncomfortable?"

Ah Mei opened his mouth timidly and asked softly.

Cai Yan woke up suddenly, turned his head to look, and said with a forced smile: "Why did Ah Meigui say that? ”

"Auntie, your face is very red and a little hot!"

"Really?"

Cai Yan's heart moved, and then he realized that his face was indeed hot.

However, it was not due to illness, but ...... She stretched out her hand, hugged Ah Mei in her arms, and sighed softly.

"A-Niang is fine, A-Mei is not worried.

It's not early, you go to bed early, get up early tomorrow, and visit your Aunt Zhen...... Hehe, your Aunt Zhen is going to be a bride. ”

"Is it with Uncle Cao?"

For some reason, Cai Yan felt a pain in his heart.

"yes...... Okay, okay, hurry up and go to bed, or you won't be well-behaved! ”

Ah Meigui nodded very obediently, and retracted the warm quilt. It's just that she didn't close her eyes immediately, but secretly observed Cai Yan. But I saw my mother sitting on the kang, looking out through the gap in the window.

This is an earthen kang.

Considering the bitter cold in the northwest, Cao Peng specially designed it.

Ah Mei Gui likes the feeling of this earthen kang very much, and it is very comfortable to sleep.

It's just that she can see that her mother has something on her mind...... Ah Mei is already nine years old, and he is gradually beginning to be sensible. She could vaguely guess that A-Niang's heart must have a lot to do with Aunt Zhen's coming over in the afternoon.

Uncle Cao has married a bride, will he still play with Ah Mei in the future like before?

Will he still let Ah Mei ride on his neck, run around the courtyard, and play with her, as he did before?

Unconsciously, Ah Mei's heart was also a little heavy.

"Childe is also in trouble now."

Cai Yan's ears echoed Zhen Mi's words in the afternoon.

"Listening to Xiaoluan and Xiaohuan, Gongzi caused a big disaster in Longxi and killed Liangzhou Assassin Shi, it is estimated that there will be trouble. My eldest sister didn't agree a little, and I married my son...... But I think Childe did the right thing! That Liangzhou assassin Shi could obviously save Wang Duwei, but he refused to send troops out of selfishness. It's even more hateful than ***......"

After all, everyone is from a family, but Zhen Mi has knowledge.

She joined the Yuan family in her early years and has a little understanding of the affairs of this court.

Kill Wei Duan?

He's so bold!

Cai Yan sighed softly, glanced at Ah Meigui, who was already asleep, stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for her, and then closed the window and lay on the kang. Underneath, the warm and warm mood is also much more comfortable......

The door opened suddenly.

Cao Peng walked in from outside the house.

Cai Yan asked in surprise, "Youxue, why are you here?"

Today is your big day, don't accompany Xiao Mi at home, what are you doing here? ”

"I saw that my sister was a little depressed today, so I came to visit."

Cao Pengjing didn't say a word and sat on the kang. Cai Yan's heart trembled, and he looked at Cao Peng carefully, but saw that his eyes flashed with the same brilliance. She wanted to get up, but remembered that she was only wearing a small coat...... I was suddenly ashamed in my heart, and said angrily: "Youxue is rude, and you don't go out, what kind of system does this look like?" ”

Who knows, Cao Peng smiled but ignored it, stretched out his hand, and stroked Cai Yan's cheek.

"What are you doing?"

Before Cai Yan refused, Cao Peng's big hand had already run down her neck, into the futon, and caressed her body. Then, I saw him lying down and kissing Cai Yan with a kiss. The big hand that reached into her arms rubbed the plump flesh of her chest vigorously. A long-lost pleasure suddenly poured out, making Cai Yan want to refuse to return the welcome, and he was weak and collapsed on the couch. The bandeau was taken off at some point, and Cao Peng had pressed it on her body. The heavy breathing sound, as well as the unique smell of a man, made Cai Yan feel inexplicably flustered, and at the same time even more ......

"A-Niang, A-Niang!"

In my ears, the sound of Ah Mei's crutch sounded.

Cai Yan shuddered and opened his eyes suddenly.

I saw Ah Meigui sitting beside her and looking at her, his eyes full of worry.

Cao Peng, but he is gone!

It turned out to be a dream of Nanke......

Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved.

But when she wanted to get up, she found the same body. Cool and swishing, is it ......

Cai Yan's face turned red again all of a sudden, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable emptiness in his heart. What woman wakes up with the desire to lie in her lover's arms. In the past, it was enough to have no such thoughts, but once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed. That kind of emptiness, that kind of loneliness, that kind of complicated mood that is indescribable and unclear.

"Ah Mei is turned, Ah Niang is fine."

It's already dawn!

On the first day of the tenth year of Jian'an, the sun was shining.

Ah Meigui said happily: "Ah Niang, then I'll go and Aunt Zhen to play." ”

"Don't bother your aunt."

"Yes."

Ah Mei walked away in a hurry, and Cai Yan was stunned for a while before getting up and getting dressed. She was always a little uncomfortable, so she called Guoguo and asked her to go to the kitchen to boil some water and prepare to wash it for a while.

She sat on the kang, her delicate eyebrows twisted.

After hesitating for a moment, the bedding was pulled out and ready to be washed.

But at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Cai Yan turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Youxue, why did you come here?"

As soon as the words came out, Cai Yan's face turned red all of a sudden.

Isn't this sentence exactly what she said when she saw Cao Peng in her dream?

Cao Peng was also stunned when he saw Cai Yan's reaction, and immediately said, "Sister Cai, I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

"Goodbye?"

"Hmm...... I'm going to take a trip to Rile, and I guess it will take three to five days to come back.

I went to Rile this time to meet with several envoys from the Western Regions. So I'm going to take Xiaodi with me and let him go and add some knowledge. ”

"That'...... What about you and Xiao Mi? ”

"Well, when I come back, I'll marry her."

Although he had already known about this matter, hearing Cao Peng admit it himself, Cai Yan still had some sour feelings in his heart.

"You bring Xiaodi, bring your own, why bother to know me?"

In his words, there was suddenly a little more resentment. As soon as he spoke, Cai Yan felt that something was not quite right, and quickly turned his head.

Cao Peng, stunned!

He stood outside the door and happened to see Cai Yan's moving silhouette.

Although it is not powdered, and it is not familiar, it reveals an extremely lazy and seductive beauty.

For a while, Cao Peng was stunned!

The sunlight poured into the room from the window, reflected on the kang, and also reflected on Cai Yan's body.

The thin body seems to have a faint light beating, which adds a bit of mystery and haze. In Cao Peng's heart, he always had some wonderful fantasies about Cai Yan. It's just that he's not good at words, and he doesn't know how to express it.

The last time Cai Yan questioned her, he blurted out a gaffe.

Cai Yan has not been seen since...... First, he is busy with official business and really has no time; Second, Cai Yan is also avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, so even if he lives in a mansion, he has never seen him. In private, Guo Huan persuaded him that if he really likes Cai Yan, then he might as well make it clear to her and marry her.

Even if Cai Yan is from a famous family, there is a good saying: a phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken.

Cai Yan has been a wife twice, and Cai Yong has been dead for more than ten years, although his fame still exists, it is not as good as it used to be.

Nowadays, when people in the Central Plains mention celebrities, most of them talk about Zheng Xuan, Hu Zhao, Zhong Xuan, and Sima Hui......

Cai Yong is a thing of the past!

With Cao Peng's current identity, marrying Cai Yan is easy, and it is not difficult. Moreover, there will be no accusations from the sidelines. What's more, if he marries Cai Yan, it will be extremely beneficial to Cao Peng's reputation. After all, although Cai Yong is in the past tense, his reputation is still there. He had countless protégés and many friends. Especially in Guanzhong, it has quite a status. Back then, Wang Yun wanted to kill Cai Yong, to put it bluntly, he was jealous of Cai Yong's talent and reputation.

Cao Peng married Cai Yan, which could ease his relationship with the wealthy family in Guanzhong.

At least, it won't be pressed step by step by the Sergeant Guan......

Guo Huan had good intentions and wanted to help Cao Peng minimize this crisis.

But Cao Peng didn't want to!

He does like Cai Yan, but it doesn't mean that he wants to use Cai Yan. That's a tragic talented woman who has gone through countless ups and downs, if you use it again, wouldn't it be too impersonal? Besides, he was well aware of his situation and killed Wei Duan, as Wei Kang said before he died, he made a great contribution to Cao Cao. Cao Cao would never have killed him, so he was dismissed from office and went home for two years. Wait for the limelight to pass and then come back on......

It's not like he hasn't experienced this kind of thing, so he doesn't have too much fear.

There's a lot on hand these days!

Once Cao Cao is punished, he will definitely return to Xudu. Whoever takes his place will have to make proper arrangements.

First of all, he recommended Zhao Ang as the Taishou of Longxi.

On the one hand, Zhao Ang is a native of Tianshui, quite famous in the local area, and has close contacts with Yang Fu and others, so he is the most suitable candidate.

On the other hand, Zhao Ang's talent is also enough to take on the position of Taishou.

He and Cao Peng have a common discourse in many ways. In particular, the two had almost the same opinion on opening the trade route of the Western Regions and strengthening the connection between the Western Regions and Guanzhong. On the trade route of Guanzhong and the Western Regions, Longxi occupies an extremely important position. He hooked up Jincheng, and at the same time was adjacent to Xichuan in Hanzhong, which was a necessary place for trade routes in the Western Regions.

At the same time, Zhao Ang can also be regarded as Cao Peng's hand-picked, and he can be regarded as his own person!

Cao Peng recommended Cheng Gongying as the Taishou of Jincheng County, and recommended Yan Xing as the southern governor and stationed in Lintao. These two candidates are also quite crucial. Cheng Gongying did a good job in Wuwei County and showed enough sincerity. He has a great reputation in Jincheng County, and if he comes out of Jincheng County, he can quickly be accepted and supported by the people of Jincheng County.

As for Yan Xing, he can fight and is a strong general.

There is a lot of hatred between him and Ma, so there is no need to worry about him repeating.

With Zhao Ang restraining him, and Cao Hong monitoring Chang'an, even if Yan Xing has great ability, he can't toss tricks.

Subsequently, Cao Peng played the imperial court again, and Shi Tao was the Taishou of Zhangye County.

Zhangye County is a lower county, with eight counties under its jurisdiction, most of which are inhabited by Qiang and Han people, which is extremely complicated. If you don't have someone who understands, it's easy to cause chaos. And Shi Tao once served as the Lintao Order, and his political achievements were outstanding. In the Battle of Pingma, he made another meritorious service, and no one will object. He had been in Xudu for a long time and had sufficient qualifications. And he is from Yingchuan and was born in Shuijing Villa, so he will not be troubled in Shangshufu. Cao Peng is also very confident in this.

Meng Jian will leave Hexi and serve as Shi Tao's deputy and serve as Zhangye Juncheng.

These two people are thick and thin, and they are classmates, so it will be very easy to cooperate......

Cao Peng went to Rile this time to bring Shi Tao and Meng Jian over to discuss with Su Ze. After all, it will be the two of them who will deal with Su Ze in the future, and they must be prepared. Overall, Cao Peng has completed the structure of Liangzhou. In this way, even if he leaves Liangzhou, he can ensure that Liangzhou's huge state machinery can operate on its own. Even if the new Liangzhou Assassin has bad intentions, it is impossible to touch Cao Peng's interests in Liangzhou and change his planning and design for Liangzhou.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly?"

"Huh?"

Cao Peng suddenly came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and scratched his head.

"Sit down first, and I'll wash up...... Running here early in the morning, coming here and being in a daze, I really don't know what you're thinking. ”

Cai Yan's words carried a hint of resentment.

But it sounds like the little daughter's coquettishness......

Cao Peng was stunned again and walked into the house. And Cai Yan walked out with the futon and staggered past him.

"Sister Cai, I'll help you!"

"Hugh is going to make a mess, women's things, that's what makes you stinky man mess up."

Cai Yangang's calm mood suddenly became chaotic again.

Her face was flushed, she said viciously, and ran out with some staggering steps.

The first day of the first lunar month is the first day of the new year.

In the courtyard, a touch of green buds was revealed overnight, and it was full of vitality.

The sun is warm, shining on the body, it feels very comfortable, warm and warm...... Cai Yan closed his eyes, bathed in the morning light, took a deep breath of fresh air, and his mood suddenly became much better, and a faint smile flashed on his face.

Actually, it's nice to have a man at home!

She went to the well, fetched some water, and soaked the futon in the water......

Then, I went to the bathroom to clean my hair, and my mood was suddenly good and my whole body was comfortable.

Under Guoguo's service, she dressed up carefully in front of the bronze mirror, changed into a new dress, and returned to the house.

But he saw that the house was empty.

Cao Peng, not in the room.

"What about Gongzi Cao?"

She asked a maidservant who was cleaning her room.

"General Cao sat here for a while, but someone came looking for him just now, so he left in a hurry."

Let's go?

Cai Yan was stunned in his heart, and immediately showed a look of loss.

She walked up and saw the maidservant sorting the papers on the bookcase.

With a sweep of her eyes, she found that there seemed to be handwriting on the paper, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly called the maidservant.

"What is this?"

"General Cao was writing here just now, and he left in a hurry, so he didn't clean it up."

The maidservant knew that Cai Yan was very attentive to these items. In general, no one is allowed to write with pen and paper unless she agrees. Even Ah Mei is now a sand table to use as paper to practice writing. So when Cai Yan asked, the maid was also a little scared and replied nervously. But she can't help it, she can't stop Cao Peng......

Cai Yan didn't pursue it, but took it over and whispered to himself.

"The beauty rolls the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns.

But when I saw the tears wet, I didn't know who I hated. ”

In his heart, a wonderful emotion suddenly rose, Cai Yan smiled, but his eyes couldn't help but be hazy, and tears slipped quietly.

This guy ......

She took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly called, "Guoguo." ”

"The slave is here."

"Pack up, let's get ready for a long trip."

"Huh?"

Guoguo asked suspiciously, "Madam, where are we going?" ”

"Go to Chaona first, then go to Chang'an, go to Hongnong!"

Chaona, located in Anding County, in the southeast of Guyuan County, Ningxia in later generations.

This was originally a county town with little reputation, but because of a family, it enjoyed a great reputation in Guanzhong. That is the hometown of the Duxiang Marquis, the hussar general Huangfu Song. Although Huangfu Song has been dead for ten years, he still has great influence. His son, Huangfu Jianshou, once worshipped in the service. After the return of the Son of Heaven, Huangfu Jianshou did not accompany him due to illness and is now recuperating at home. Cao Cao had conquered many times, but Huangfu Jianshou did not go, but stayed in his hometown......

I don't know who I hate?

Actually, I don't hate ...... anymore
