The Huang family's house is located between Atou Mountain and Xiangyang City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has excellent feng shui. The afternoon was already hot at such a time, and Cao Ang and Webster were a little listless, only Xiao Qin'er was always interested. This little creature is the age of naughty and active, running and jumping on the country roads, picking flowers and butterflies from time to time, and the little face is full of pure smiles, and the crisp shouts waft in the wilderness, dispelling the heat like fire.

"There is nothing to do now, can Mrs. talk about the affairs of the Huang family, firstly, I can pass the time, and secondly, I can understand more, so as to save the loss of courtesy." Cao Ang's eyes swayed with Xiao Qin'er's cheerful figure, in the wilderness, although there were flowers fragrant and green shade were cool, but it was always a little dull and monotonous, so he turned his head and said to Wei.

Webster nodded silently, his eyes full of thought. These days, she and Cao Ang have become more familiar, and there is no previous restraint, but respect has risen from the bottom of her heart - not only respect for knowledge and identity, but also respect for Cao Ang's character.

Wei Shi thought for a moment, and soon smiled helplessly and said: "The concubine has only occasionally come into contact with the son-in-law of the Huang family, this son-in-law seems to be not very old, but she is kind and kind, and when she is with us women, she is always a sister and a sister, and she is very polite, without the temper of a big family. And if anyone in the neighborhood is in trouble, as long as she finds this son-in-law, she will never shirk it, and is always eager to help. We people here are very grateful to her, but we can't get our hands on the things of our small family, otherwise I would have liked to bring some gifts this time. ”

Cao Ang nodded when he heard this, although he hadn't seen this son-in-law at the moment, he had a good impression, and he thought that he must be a reasonable, docile and graceful woman. Seeing that the surroundings were empty and barren, I couldn't help but have some questions in my heart, and asked: "Mrs. said that this Huang family is a big family in Jingzhou, but why does it live in this wilderness?" ”

Wei shook his head ignorantly, and said: "This concubine doesn't know, the concubine only knows that the people in Xiangyang City say that the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Pang family, and the Huang family are the most powerful big families here, as for why this Huang family lives by Atou Mountain, it's not for me to know." ”

Cao Ang snorted, although there were still doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask anymore. After walking for a while, he changed the question and said, "Who are the people in this Huang family?" Do you spend a lot of time around the week? ”

Wei Shi was a little dazed this time, obviously he didn't know at all, but he still thought about it before saying: "It seems that only the son-in-law of the Huang family will show up from time to time, as for the others, they don't know anything, and they don't have much impression of the rest of the Huang family." ”

A strange feeling rose in Cao Ang's heart, and he secretly wondered: "Could it be that this female son lives here alone?" Then he shook his head silently and denied this speculation: "As a parent, who can be ruthless to throw such a reasonable, docile and graceful girl to be alone in a remote place?" ”

After some fruitless searching, Cao Ang couldn't help but be curious, and he was looking forward to a glimpse.

The journey was not very far, and Cao Ang and Webster talked to each other without a match, and unconsciously passed by. first picked up Xiao Qin'er, saving him from running blindly, and then Cao Ang looked at the house in front of him.

The area of the house is not very spacious, and the materials used are also very ordinary, most of them are wood taken on the spot, which is much shabby than the mansions of large families with pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and paintings, but the layout is staggered, and there are some more indescribable charms than the houses of ordinary people, and the whole house looks simple and elegant from the outside, as if the hermitage of a famous man and elegant person.

After Cao Ang looked at Wei Shi and confirmed that the room in front of him was indeed the Huang family, he handed Xiao Qin'er to Wei Shi, straightened his clothes, and walked forward to knock on the door. However, as soon as he took two steps forward, there was a sudden sound of talking from inside the room.

"Female brother of the Huang family, can my uncle be at home?"

When Cao Ang heard this voice, he couldn't help but frown. The owner of the voice should not be very old, and the words are full of energy, and the timbre is not unpleasant, but Cao Ang outside the door always feels that this person's tone is frivolous, as if he can imagine that this person is talking while his eyes are probing around, and the whole person does not care about the 'uncle' in his mouth at all, and inadvertently reveals a superior posture of superiority.

Cao Ang resisted the urge to knock on the door, and heard a soft and sweet female voice in the house: "Father went out to visit friends and has not yet returned." The words were clearly flat and straightforward, without the slightest emotion, but the unique voice would make people mistakenly think that the person who spoke was shy and smiled timidly.

"Hmph," the man in the room snorted disdainfully, his tone became more and more unkind, and his lofty posture became more obvious, "I think my uncle must have gone to the Pang family, what an old fool." At present, the world is turbulent, although Jingzhou is still peaceful, but Cao thief in the north and Sun Ce Xiaoer in the east are all eyeing each other, Liu Jingzhou ......" paused slightly, and was very disdainful of Liu Biao in his words, but it was not good to say it blatantly after all.

"At present, my father is deeply relied on by Liu Jingzhou, and he is the general of Zhennan and is in charge of most of Jingzhou's military." Speaking of this, the man's posture was high, his expression was arrogant, as if a nouveau riche was facing his poor relatives, he glanced at the daughter-in-law of the Huang family, and when he saw her indifferent, he was immediately displeased, his face turned cold, and he continued: "Uncle should take this opportunity to join the officialdom, follow my father, and grasp the power, even if there are changes in Jingzhou in the future, the Cai and Huang families can sit back and relax." ”

When Cao Ang heard this outside, he thought of the memories in his mind, and his heart was full of disgust. In the future, those warrior clan gate lords were developed by people like this man. These people have no royal family, ignore the life and death of the world, have ill intentions in the center of the troubled times, and enrich the strength of their clan by unscrupulous means, and all benevolence, loyalty, and morality are thrown out of the clouds.

However, Cao Ang had to admit that what this person said was not unreasonable. Jingzhou seems to be peaceful, but it is actually a restless place, and once Cao Cao stabilizes the east, he will definitely raise troops to attack. What's more, Sun Ce, who has a deep hatred with Jingzhou, if it weren't for his lack of strength, I am afraid that he would have raised troops to fight in front of him a long time ago.

In such a situation, in order to protect the interests of their clan, the big families of Jingxiang can only try their best to expand and develop, and when they have enough strength, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Ce, or someone else occupies Jingzhou, they will only use Huairou means to appease, rather than iron-blooded purge.

It's just that Liu Jingzhou is in his prime right now, and he has a lot of favor for the Cai family, not only marrying the daughter of the Cai family, but also taking Cai Mao as the general and military advisor of Zhennan, so that the Cai family has a lot of prestige among Jingxiang, and can be called benevolent and righteous. And the Cai family has such a mind, which is really ungrateful and cold-hearted.

Cao Ang wanted to hear what kind of opinion the Huang family son-in-law who was praised by Webster as kind and kind, so he simply stood outside the door quietly and listened carefully.

"My father is indifferent to fame and fortune, despises power, and has no intention of officialdom, so he has no choice but to learn, I'm afraid that he won't be able to fulfill the wishes of the Cai family's elder brother." The daughter-in-law of the Huang family said very indifferently, and then her tone changed, and she said with a slight mockery: "Besides, even if my father is out of office, he should be loyal to his duties, Liu Jingzhou is not only the state pastor appointed by the imperial court, but also the husband of my mother and sister, how could my father do such an unkind and unjust thing for his own selfishness?" ”

Cao Ang listened to it and secretly praised this woman in his heart, but he didn't expect that this Huang family's son-in-law was not only a kind person, but also a strange woman. In addition to Cao Ang's appreciation, he expected that the man of the Cai family would definitely be annoyed and angry, and he was quite worried about the female son of the Huang family.

Unexpectedly, the man just snorted coldly when he heard this, and he didn't get angry with his arrogance, but just sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality? You are really like your stubborn father, and you have broken your brain by reading. ”

The son-in-law of the Huang family treated her coldly, with a pretty face, but she was silent.

The man waved his big sleeves, turned in a circle, spread his hands, showed a mocking smile on his face, and said in a cold and ruthless voice: "The world is collapsing like this, what is the use of benevolence, righteousness and morality?" Cai Bojiao's generation of Confucianism, loyal to the Son of Heaven, righteous to hundreds of officials, and virtuous to Shilin, but didn't he give his life in vain just because of an inopportune lament? Let's just say that right now, Cao Thief and Eunuch erect ugliness, bullying the Son of Heaven, bullying hundreds of officials, attacking Xuzhou and killing countless people, what kind of benevolence and morality? However, he was actually the third duke and commanded the court. In this world, what is the use of benevolence, righteousness and morality? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Huang family seemed speechless and fell silent. Cao Ang outside heard this person belittle Cao Cao, he was furious at first, and he forcibly resisted the urge to make a move, and after calming down, he thought about it for a while, and felt a deep fear.

Cao Ang has always been proud of Cao Cao, and he has always taken the restoration of the Han dynasty as his own responsibility. However, Cao Cao's actions since his failure to fight against Dong, especially after welcoming the Son of Heaven, can he really be called a loyal minister of the Han family? What's more, Cao Cao's tyrannical behavior didn't dare to think about it in the past, but now in this situation, after thinking about it, can it really be called benevolence, righteousness and morality?

Cao Ang's face became extremely pale, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his eyes were full of fear and confusion. The image of Cao Cao's loyalty, righteousness and majesty in his heart collapsed, and the images of Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo emerged.

At this moment, after being silent for a long time, the daughter-in-law of the Huang family finally spoke, and her sweet voice could not hide the firm heart under the words: "The world is surging, the world is turbid, I have no power to set things right, but in the collapsed world, I can keep the heart of the size." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens that woke up Cao Ang, only to see his eyes flashing and his face inexplicable. Suddenly, the man in the room laughed wildly, his laughter was full of disdainful mockery, and then he said loudly: "Although your Huang family is known as a big family in Jingxiang, after all, the population is thin, and it is independent of the troubled times. And I, the Cai family, have hundreds of mouthfuls up and down, is it possible that we want to talk about high benevolence and righteousness like you and my uncle, and watch the clan old and young being torn to pieces by this cannibalistic world? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Huang family was silent again, and the man kept talking, and then said: "What's more, Liu Jingzhou went south alone, relying on the support of my Cai family and Kuai family to settle Jingzhou. It's just that seeing that the turmoil in Jingzhou is imminent, Liu Jingzhou is already unable to protect Jingzhou, unable to protect us, for the sake of hundreds of lives of the clan, he has done something unkind and unjust, what can he do? Do you have to make my Cai family throw blood all over the house, and finally end up in ashes to be called benevolence, righteousness and morality? ”

The son-in-law of the Huang family was dumbfounded by what the man said, Cao Ang stabilized his mind, listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, and finally after the man was full of impassioned shouts, he could no longer hold back the boiling emotions in his heart, pushed the door open suddenly, and scolded loudly: "The shameless villain is untrustworthy and reverses black and white." ”
