Chapter 23: Chinese New Year (1) The Cao family is small
"Brother Rui, Brother Rui is back!" As soon as Cao Chong saw Lu Rui, he immediately shouted.
Damn, Chong Chong, can you not be so sharp-eyed, it's too late to run!
"Brother Chong, why did you think of coming to my yard today?" Knowingly asked, there was something good to take.
Cao Chong blinked his eyes and said cutely: "Brother Rui, the New Year is over, I'm here to ask for an auspicious one, Brother Rui, there are more things this year than in previous years!" ”
Alas, Cao Chong, a prodigy, not only learned to sell cuteness, but also learned to fight local tyrants and exploit Lu Rui!
Lu Rui picked up Cao Chong, pinched his little nose and said, "Brother Chong, as far as you like to eat, other brothers don't ask for anything like you!" ”
"Brother Rui, Brother Chong is the smallest, look at Brother Zhang, he has taken a big bowl!" After speaking, Cao Chong pointed to Cao Zhang in the main hall and expressed his dissatisfaction to Lu Rui, only to see Cao Zhang holding a big bowl tightly in his arms, about to pack!
No way? Huang Xu'er, he is a foodie at such a young age, no wonder he has so much strength, he killed a tiger at the age of fifteen!
"Brother Rui!" As soon as Lu Rui entered the main hall, the boys of the Cao family saluted Lu Rui.
"Congratulations to Brother Rui, the New Year is approaching, and my brother specially brought the descendants of the Cao family to ask Brother Rui for peace!" Cao Pi, as the boss who stayed in the mansion, was the first to come forward to salute.
"Well, Brother Pi has grown up, and he will educate his younger brothers and sisters more in the future and be a good example for them!" Looking at Emperor Wen in the future, Lu Rui pretended to be a brother and taught a few words.
"Thank you, brother!"
"Brother Rui, you have delicious food here! I'm hungry! Huang Xu'er ran over, grabbed Lu Rui's sleeve, and shouted for food.
"You're a big foodie!" Lu Rui pinched Cao Zhang's little face, and Cao Zhang made a grimace and ran away.
"Diao Chan, give them the pastries that His Majesty has rewarded!"
"Yes, Master Hou!" Diao Chan took out the food box and beckoned the Cao family boy to eat pastries, and a few little children followed Diao Chan to the side hall.
"Brother Pi? Why don't you go over and get some?" Seeing that Cao Pi didn't go to eat the pastry, Lu Rui asked suspiciously.
"Brother Rui, the little brother has something to ask for!" Cao Pi pleaded with Lu Rui with a solemn look.
"Brother Pi, just say something, why should you and my brother be so serious, if you can help your brother, you will do your best for your brother!." Cao Pi actually has something to ask for himself, which is a new thing!
"Brother?"
"Say, Brother Pi!" Cao Pi is now beginning to like to turn corners, and it seems that the city government has begun to slowly form.
"Brother, the younger brother wants to borrow some money and food from the elder brother, the younger brother has recently made some friends, and he has a social scene outside!" Cao Pi said the request in one breath.
"I see, Brother Pi just wants to borrow money and food, in this way, Brother Pi writes a note and approves for his brother, you can go to Chen Gui to ask for money and food!" Since Chen Gui's old fox lived in Sikong Mansion, he ran to his yard and begged to be a steward, but after all, Lao Chen was a celebrity, and Lu Rui had no choice but to send Xu Shu back to Fan County, leaving Chen Gui to be a housekeeper.
"Thank you, brother! The younger brother will definitely double it back in the future! Cao Pi gave a big gift to Lu Rui.
"Brother Pi, you're welcome, you and my brother, you and I should help!"
"Although Brother Rui is not Pi's brother, he treats Pi much better than Pi's relatives!"
"Why does Brother Pi have such an idea?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, someone provoked Cao Pi.
"Alas! Brother Rui didn't know that Brother Pi had gone to Uncle Hong, but Uncle Hong not only didn't lend it to Brother Pi, but also humiliated Brother Pi, and he was very annoyed! Cao Pi said with displeasure on his face.
"I see, Uncle Hong? It's a bit stingy indeed! "It turned out that Cao Pi ate turtles at Cao Hong's place, Cao Hong is also an iron rooster, and he doesn't pull out a hair, no wonder Cao Pi wants to hold a grudge and rectify Cao Hong after succeeding to the throne.
"Brother Rui, Yan is here to greet you!" As soon as Lu Rui and Cao Pi set up a note, He Yan came with the Cao family's fake team.
"Hmph, there are no rules, Brother Rui, He Yan is too unreasonable!" He Yan swaggered and brought Cao Zhen and Qin Lang here, and he didn't even want to salute, so he walked in, sat in his position, and ate fresh fruits.
"Don't get in the way, Brother Pi, you go to the side hall to see your brothers!" Cao Pi and He Yan are not in harmony, and it is better to separate the two of them here.
Cao Pi arched his hand and retreated to the side hall.
"Brother Yan, why did you think of coming to Brother Rui for a walk today?"
"Brother Rui, my brother has recently found some strange things, and I have come to give Brother Rui a look!" He Yan smiled and took out a piece of jade from his arms.
Blood Jade! He Yan actually found a crystal clear blood jade for Lu Rui, and there were some strange words engraved on it. Lu Rui smiled and said, "Brother Yan, for my brother, there are still things to do today, and I will wait for a few days." ”
"In that case, Brother Yan will stay on his own, and Brother Rui will go and do other things!" He Yan put away the blood jade and walked to the back hall, seeing Cao Pi and the others still ignoring it, staying aside and eating fresh fruits.
Looking at He Yan's figure, Lu Rui shook his head, He Yan, the founder of Wei and Jin metaphysics, is also the founder of corruption, He Jin's grandson, is too arrogant! In his own yard, it is like being in his own home, I don't know if Lao Cao likes to help others raise his son, and he is very kind to He Yandu!
"Brother Zhen, Brother Lang, I've seen Brother Rui!" After He Yan left, Cao Zhen and Qin Lang began to salute Lu Rui.
"Brother Zhen, Brother Lang, get up!"
"Thank you, Brother Rui!"
"Asu, come here, let Brother Rui hug!" Seeing the lovely Qin Lang, Lu Rui couldn't help but hug him, this Mrs. Zheng is so cute!
"Well, Brother Rui, hug!" Qin Lang stretched out his hands and asked Lu Rui to hug him, Lu Rui picked up Qin Lang, and then handed the pastries on the table to Qin Lang, Qin Lang took the pastries and began to add them.
"Brother Zhen, you can eat too, you don't have to be polite here."
"Thank you, Brother Rui!" Cao Zhen also began to gobble up the pastries on the table. There is a lack of materials, even the fake son in Cao Cao's family has nothing good to eat, and occasionally comes here to fight tooth sacrifices, it is really pitiful, and it is hard to start a business!
Then Lu Rui asked the two of them about their homework, and both of them answered Lu Rui's questions very seriously, diligent and inquisitive children, no wonder Cao Zhen is a general in the future, and Qin Lang is a general who defeated Xianbei Shan Yu, much stronger than He Yan's metaphysical prodigal.
After asking the two of them about their homework, Lu Rui ordered Ling'er to send some food to the courtyard of the two, and then took Cao Zhen and Qin Lang to play with the Cao brothers.
"Brother Rui, go play with us in the mud!" Cao Xiong shook Lu Rui's hand and asked Lu Rui to play with them in the mud.
"Brother Xiong, go play, Brother Rui is old and doesn't like to play anymore."
"Hehe, Brother Xiong, you don't know, it's not that Brother Rui doesn't want to play with us, it's that the second sister didn't come, Brother Rui misses him, Sichun!" Cao Chong explained to Cao Xiong with a grin.
Damn, death rush, people are small and big, how can you guess so accurately!
Lu Rui casually threw a fresh fruit on the plate to Cao Chong and said, "Brother Chong, eat your fruit, don't talk nonsense, what do you talk about your brother and sister's affairs, what do you understand!" ”
The children of the Cao family began to laugh when they saw Lu Rui's angry appearance.
"Okay, okay, Brother Chong, Brother Rui misses your second sister, tell me where your second sister went?"
"Brother Rui, don't worry, my sister and sister are helping the eldest mother and second mother do things, and they will be here soon." Cao Pi saw Lu Rui's anxious appearance, smiled, and explained to Lu Rui.
It turned out that this was the case, which scared me to death, and Lao Cao sometimes encouraged his children to go outside to find food, fight tooth sacrifices, or chop firewood to subsidize the family in order to exercise their children. It's too dangerous, if it's robbed by the bad guys, then my wife won't be gone!
"Master Hou, the ladies of the Cao family are here, waiting for Master Hou in the main hall!" Said Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Cao's daughter arrived.
"Well, I'll get out of here." Lu Rui left the courtyard and headed to the front hall.
"Xian'er took the sisters of Caofu to greet Brother Rui!" Cao Xian took Cao Cao's daughters to ask Lu Rui for peace, after all, Lu Rui is a marquis and a person with a title.
"Sisters, don't be polite, get up, family, don't be polite."
"Thank you, Brother Rui." Cao Xian took the lead and the girls of the Cao family got up and sat aside.
"Hmm."
"Ladies please go to the side hall to enjoy fresh fruits and pastries, and Master Hou has prepared fresh fruits and pastries to entertain the ladies." Diao Chan cleverly invited the ladies to the side hall.
"Jie'er has seen Brother Rui!" After Cao Xian took the other sisters to the side hall, Cao Jie began to salute Lu Rui.
"Jie'er, don't be polite, how are you doing recently? If you have any difficulties, try to tell Brother Rui, and Brother Rui will try his best to help. Seeing that Cao Jie was thinner than a few days ago, Lu Rui was distressed, Lao Cao must be in financial difficulties again, and he was hungry for my little festival.
"Thank you Brother Rui, Jie'er and her sisters are doing well, thank you Brother Rui for your concern."
Virtuous, sure enough, it is the virtuous Cao Jie, who has lost weight like this, and he also helped Lao Cao speak, unwilling to open his mouth to Lu Rui.
"Jie'er, Your Majesty rewarded me with a lot of things in the morning, and I ordered Ling'er to send it to your yard, eat more, don't save it."
"Brother Rui?" Cao Jie looked at Lu Rui affectionately.
"Needless to say, Brother Rui will accept what you will give you, don't be embarrassed." I'm hungry for you, and I feel distressed.
"Jie'er generation, sisters and sisters, thank you, Brother Rui."
"That's right, Jie'er, eat more, no, come to me to get it!" Lu Rui said very angrily.
"Brother Rui, this is the firewood we picked up in the suburbs and brought it to you for use." It's not good to always use Lu Rui's things, and the ladies of Cao Mansion also know that Lu Rui sent a lot of food to them for Cao Jie, which is also a courtesy.
"Went to collect firewood?"
"Jie'er, don't go to collect firewood in the future, if you don't have it, come here to Brother Rui, Brother Rui is not lacking! A group of women went to the suburbs to collect firewood, it was not safe! "Although there are some guards following, a large group of women, if they are not careful, one person will be in danger.
"Brother Rui, don't worry, we don't often go to collect firewood, and there is Sister Xiahou here, she is very familiar, we won't have an accident." After speaking, Cao Jie pulled a woman in front of Lu Rui.
"Sister Xiahou?" Lu Rui looked at this woman in surprise, she should be a little older than Lu Rui, and she looks beautiful, but her face actually has some charcoal crumbs, Lu Rui thought she was Cao Jie's maid, and she just came out of the room, Sister Xiahou? People from the Xiahou family?
"The Xiahou clan has seen the Hou Ye!"
"Well, get up, it stands to reason that Lord Benhou will also call you Sister Xiahou!" Since she is from the Xiahou family, it stands to reason that she is also Lu Rui's nominal sister.
"Xiahou doesn't dare!"
"Brother Rui, you don't know, Sister Xiahou's life is so hard, her parents died when she was a child, and it was Second Uncle Xiahou who raised her, and even her youngest son died of illness." Then Cao Jie talked about Xiahou's life experience.
Xiahou clan! She is Zhang Fei's wife in history and Liu Chan's mother-in-law? Zhang Fei? Hmph, can you catch you with her? Looking at Xiahou's family, Lu Rui suddenly had an idea in his heart.
