Shihoon is very aware of his shortcomings, since he is not busy with work, he simply wastes all his remaining energy on studying - if you want to have greater development in the future, you must first enrich yourself. Cao Cao has a lot of books, which are several times richer than his family, and Xun Yu also has a lot of books, which Xun Tian'er borrowed to copy and study. It's just that Cao Cao emphasized practice rather than scripture, so he mainly borrowed some historical books, such as "Historical Records", "Han Shu", "Dongguan Hanji" and the like, and sometimes asked Cao Cao for advice on some historical matters. Cao Cao knew everything, and praised him for his studiousness.

When I borrowed a book and came back, Shixun copied it by himself - copying it once is equivalent to memorizing it, although copying books is tiring, but in order to deepen my memory, it is best not to fake this work to others. It's just that he copied the book anyway and read it by himself, so he let it go, and didn't write official books and chapters, but wrote lines. Whenever he copied a book, he would especially miss the years when there was paper—alas, the only mistake in writing was easy to scrape off with a knife, and it was just a little benefit.

Probably because he didn't work too hard and still had a lot of time to study, so as soon as Cao Cao found out about the stirrup, he simply handed over the job to Shi Xun. After the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was subdued, the number of Cao Jun's army instantly doubled to more than 40,000, but there were few horses, and the total was only two or three thousand horsemen - but just making and installing stirrups for these two or three thousand horses was a big project, and Shi Xun was forced to be busy in Juancheng for nearly ten days in a row, and he couldn't even go home on a day off.

When he finally finished everything he should be busy with and could take a breath, he left Juancheng and returned to his own village, and immediately received three letters - Li Gan went to Xuzhou, and after he successfully completed the mission and returned, he brought it to him, and somehow he didn't hand it over to him in the city, but sent someone to send it to the village.

The first letter was written widely, saying that brother, it is okay for you to stay in Yanzhou, and the contact between Xu and Yan will depend on you in the future, as for the few house slaves you want to ask for, they will be packed up and sent to you quickly - Shi Xun couldn't help but see the pretty appearance of the little girl Huanyue'er in front of him, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his sleeve and chuckle obscenely.

The second letter was written by Cao Hong, saying that the harmony within our Cao family is all due to Hongfu, and our brothers will never forget it. But don't forget, you still have a marriage contract with my niece, and you will have to send someone to marry you when the time comes—so another figure appeared in front of his eyes. He was satisfied, and his lower body ...... Ah no, the second half of my life is basically guaranteed. In other words, when Cao Pi becomes the emperor in the future, will he be Cao Bao's daughter-in-law, and his future daughter-in-law, a county lord? Won't Lao Tzu become a county horse?

The third letter was written by Chen Deng, briefly introducing the internal situation in Xuzhou after Shixun left, and also said that for the case of the murder of the county magistrate of Juxian County, as well as Yuan Shu's secret agent hiding in Xuzhou, he conducted a detailed investigation and locked up the suspect, but there is no solid evidence yet, so he will not disclose it for now. It was Xun who scratched his chin while looking at it, and said in his heart Who is this spy? Do you know or don't know each other? Has it left a name in history? After thinking hard for a long time, I can't get the point.

Shi Xun received the letter that Li Gan helped deliver, at the beginning of February in the fourth year of Chuping, and then at the end of this month, sure enough, a small team rushed from Xuzhou, led by the generation of old slaves who had served him at home. This team includes a total of four carriages, escorted by twenty Xuzhou soldiers led by Zhang Min.

As for the four carriages, three of them were loaded with gold and silver treasures, and the old slave told Shixun that they were all given to him by the family and the Cao family for his daily use, and by the way, he handed over a wide letter, the content of which was nothing more than the words "three holes of cunning rabbits". It's Xun pondering, it's because it's not good to manage the family, it's the fourth brother after all, it seems that this time it's Kuan's back, and when Yi is away, the affairs inside and outside the family will all depend on this third brother to preside.

On the fourth carriage, it was the little girl Huanyue'er, but the strange thing was that there was another woman who got off the car with Yue'er, who was dressed like a subordinate, and the hairstyle was still in the room, fifteen or sixteen years old, at first glance, it seemed a little familiar.

Seeing Shixun, the woman hurriedly curtsied with Yue'er, and said, "I've seen the master." The slave and maid originally belonged to the Cao family, and they were dedicated to serving the daughter-in-law, and this time the Cao Gong transferred the slave and maid to the master. As he spoke, he took out a contract from his bosom and handed it to Shixun.

I see, it was only then that Xun suddenly remembered that he "encountered" the young lady of Cao Bao's family in the snow that day, that is, his future daughter-in-law, and it seemed that this little girl was also with him, so he still had a little impression. took the text version of the contract and took a look, it turned out that this girl's surname was Kang. He casually threw the text plate to the housekeeper Yu He, who was following him, and then asked, "Your surname is Kang, what is your name?" ”

The girl wrung her hands, lowered her eyelids, looked honest, and replied: "Master, the slave and maid have no name, because there are four lines in the family, so the daughter-in-law calls me Si'er." It was Xun Xin who said that Lao Tzu already had a Si'er by his side, so don't come to Si'er to confuse the public, scratching his chin, suddenly a bad taste swelled up, and said: "Then I'll give you a name, and you will be called Kang Min in the future." "Take a look at the little girl ring again, and she will also be in the posture of a person, and she said that such a good man will definitely not accept it, and he will marry him to a surname Ma in the future.

"The slave and maid have thanked their master for giving her name," Kang Min said, and took something out of his bosom and presented it with both hands, "This is my son-in-law...... The son-in-law of the Cao family asked the slave to give it to the master. ”

Shi Xun took it and took a look, it turned out to be an apricot-yellow purse, and there was a strange bird embroidered on it and a line of small characters: "Bi Cai Gexi." ”

It is Xun Zhilu Dao This sentence comes from "The Book of Songs, Wang Feng, Cai Ge", the original poem is very short, divided into three paragraphs: "Bi Cai Ge Xi, not seen for a day, such as March; Bi Cai Xiaoxi, not seen for a day, such as three autumns; Picai Aixi, not seen for a day, like three years old. "It's a feeling of longing. Pinching this purse, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Miss Cao still had this thought. Okay, wife, since you are so affectionate, my husband and I swear to God that I will marry you in two years, and be good to you for the rest of my life.

He pointed to the strange bird on the purse: "Is this the mandarin duck?" Before Kang Min could answer, Yue'er laughed next to her: "Childe...... No, master, this is not a mandarin duck, this is a winged bird. When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and said that my wife's embroiderer can still look at it, but this painting skill still needs to be honed...... In fact, I guessed blindfolded mandarin ducks, but I thought that the eldest girl embroidered a purse to send her lover, and it was impossible to embroider a pterodactyl dragon......

At the moment, "hey" is happy, and he ties his purse to his belt. With such a turn of face, he suddenly thought that his fiancée would give me a purse, why did he give me a close-fitting ring? Even if she really wants to send it, she has to agree to her father-in-law Cao Bao...... Is this what Miss Cao means, or what her father means, or even what the "slanderous villain" Cao Hong means? Is it really to serve Lao Tzu by sending a girl ring, or is it to install an eyeliner next to Lao Tzu?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little chill down my spine. He seemed to have seen it two years later, when he married his daughter-in-law into the door, Kang Min ran over and offered his courtesy-

"Miss, you're here, the slave has already cleared up and down the house. Those who are willing to receive benefits in this family have all been enveloped, and those who refuse to accept have their throats cut their throats and buried them in the backyard as flower fertilizer. Also, this is the account book of the family and the keys to each room, which the master ordered that day, and the letters and official documents of the uncle are also copied here......"

The brain hole opened wider and wider, and Shi Xun felt that the cool air jumped up from the back of his back, and turned his head to ask him: "Is there a ...... surnamed Ma in our village?"

On this night, because Shixun missed the fact that Yue'er helped him rub his back in the house, he ordered to boil water to take a bath. Anyway, he didn't have any bad thoughts, but the feeling was completely different between letting the old man help him frustrate his back and letting the young girl help rub his back - unless the old man was professional, he could hold a cigarette roll while wrapping a towel in one hand, and his movements were not slow, and the slightest cigarette ash would not touch the guests, and at the very end, he could rub the sludge on the guest's whole body into a big pill, leaving no trace on the mated towel......

It's a pity that I can't find this kind of professional this year, so instead of letting those unprofessional old men rub themselves, it's better to change a little girl to catch your eyes by the way - and since you want to be eye-catching, of course those rough girls who have just hired them won't come in handy.

The servants soon pushed into the house and brought a large wooden barrel, filled with hot water, and Shihoon took off his nakedness and soaked comfortably in it, until the skin of his whole body began to redden, and his forehead was sweating, and then he called out half moaning, half calling: "Come in." ”

In the midst of the steam, the little girl lowered her head and walked into the house with quick small steps, and went around to the back of Shixun. Shihoon leaned forward, exposing his entire back to the water, and then felt a slender hand wrapped in a handkerchief press on his back. "Uh-huh," he squinted with satisfaction, "I could ...... it a little heavier," and before he finished speaking, he felt a strong force penetrate his back through his internal organs—did I rely on that slender hand? It was a tank that ran over my back!

With an azzy, he jumped two feet high from the bucket, and then instinctively swirled in the air one hundred and eighty degrees before standing firmly in the bucket. Only then did I see that it turned out that the person standing behind me to help rub her back was not the little girl Huanyue'er, but Guan Si!

He looked at Guan Si in a daze, and said in his heart, why did this Luo Li run in? Guan Si's two sleeves were rolled high, revealing arms that were not slender compared to her height, and a handkerchief was wrapped around her right hand, and she looked at him dumbfounded, and then her eyes slowly moved down from his face, passing through his chest and abdomen, until ...... "Ah~~" This time it was Guan Si who screamed, only to see this little Luo Li raise her hands to cover her face, and a fierce man jumped out of the house. Then there was a "bang", presumably when he rushed out of the door and kicked something.

Shixun couldn't help but glance down as well, the water level was still a little lower...... Little Lori, you've feasted your eyes this time. In other words, when he was attacked that day, he held his pants in both hands, first fled with the two assassins on his back, and then fell to the ground with a spin.

Ah, it was so cold, so cold, he quickly retracted back into the water - after a long while, it was finally Yue'er who came in.
