Chapter 10: Luoyang Trivia (2)
At night, Lu Rui excitedly tossed and turned on the bed, hehe, I didn't expect this trip to Luoyang to produce a Queen Guo, obediently, Queen Guo is not an ordinary person, one of the five wise women of the Three Kingdoms, and the other four are Zhen Mi, Xin Xianying, Huang Yueying, and Zhang Chunhua. The most powerful thing about Queen Guo is that she helped Cao Pi to give advice, fight against Cao Zhi, and help Cao Pi deal with family affairs in Cao's house, which is very decent. Now, Queen Guo has fallen into her own hands, poof, she was accepted first, and she will have a good helper in the Cao family's internal fighting in the future.
The next day, Lu Rui was still asleep, and was called by Ling'er, Lu Rui rubbed his eyes and said, "Ling'er, why did you wake me up so early?" ”
Ling'er knelt down and said, "Childe, the master is back, call someone to call Childe over." ”
When Lu Rui heard this, Cao Cao came back? Isn't it the West Park that trains the army? How did you get back? Could it be that Cao Cao will also desert? In fact, otherwise, the training of the army in the West Garden is just an excuse, and the setting up of the eighth lieutenant in the West Garden is also an excuse, after Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty took back the power of the forbidden army in the West Garden, he sent Huangfu Song to lead the forbidden army to pacify the Yellow Turban. Cao Cao and the other eight lieutenants of the West Garden just went through the motions and came back.
Lu Rui didn't think much about it, under Ling'er's service, after dressing, he walked out of the door, at this time Cao Cao's scholar was already waiting, Lu Rui was stunned, where did Cao Zhong go? Lu Rui asked, "Where did Steward Cao go?" ”
The scholar replied: "Childe, Steward Cao went to buy the items needed for travel in the house early in the morning, leaving the villain to serve the master, and the housekeeper asked the villain to tell Childe that he would bring something delicious to Childe, and I hope Childe will not forget about the matter with the master." ”
When Lu Rui heard it, this Cao Zhong actually bought the scholars around Cao Cao, it was really not simple, hehe, ran out to avoid the limelight? I want Lao Tzu to give you an outpost, okay, I'll send you to the western sky. Thinking of this, Lu Rui turned to Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, you go with me to meet the middle father." ”
Ling'er nodded, and followed Lu Rui to Cao Cao's room.
As soon as Lu Rui entered the room, he saw Cao Cao drinking alone in the room, Cao Cao was relatively depressed during this time, Emperor Han Ling's canonization of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan was an idle position, and the military power was not in the hands of the eighth lieutenant at all, maintaining military discipline? Cao Cao was only in the empty barracks, wandering around, managing military discipline? There are no soldiers in the barracks at all, only happy birds! This kind of life is not as happy as being the captain of the northern capital, since there is nothing to do, it is better to go back to the house and rest.
Lu Rui ran over, and then jumped, and pounced on Cao Cao's body, shouting: "Father Zhong, Father Zhong, you are back, take Rui'er to hunt!" ”
Cao Cao saw the lovely Lu Rui, and he was also happy, and the gloomy mood was swept away, and then he picked up Lu Rui and said: "Okay, Rui'er, I'm ready to leave Luoyang with my grandfather, my middle father will take you around to play, tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll take Rui'er to hunt, okay?" "Lu Rui will also follow Cao Song back when Cao Song returns to Qian County, Cao Cao has already determined his official position in Luoyang, and there is no point for Lu Rui to stay here, and Lu Rui is now the Hou Ye, and he has to go back to deal with the matter of opening the mansion.
The most important point is that Lu Rui knows the process of historical development, not long after, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, and then Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, when the time comes, Cao Cao will flee back to Chenliu in embarrassment, he doesn't want to flee like a beggar, follow Cao Cao to flee, alas, Zhongfu, I'm sorry, it's a big deal that Rui'er will go to Chenliu to pick you up when the time comes? Keeping you from jail?
Cao Cao put Lu Rui on his lap, and then pinched Lu Rui's little face, at this time, Cao Cao found that there was another person in the house, a four or five-year-old little maid, who looked pretty good. Cao Cao asked suspiciously, "Rui'er? Who is this girl? I don't think my father has seen it? ”
Lu Rui jumped down, then ran to Ling'er's side, and then pinched Ling'er's little face and said, "Father Zhong, what's the matter, this sister is beautiful, it was given to me by Cao Zhong as a gift for me to enter the Marquis!" ‘
Cao Cao listened, hey, Cao Zhong, this kid will really see the wind and rudder, Cao Cao looked at Ling'er, poof, beauty, for Cao Cao, who has robbed other people's daughters-in-law since childhood, observing women can see women in the bones, no matter age, beauty embryos, absolute beauty embryos, thinking of this, Cao Cao glanced at Lu Rui badly, and said: "Rui'er, what a blessing, such a small age, there is such a beautiful maid, the middle father didn't have it before." ”
Cao Cao told the truth, his biological mother was a fierce woman, Cao Song never dared to marry a concubine, until Cao Cao's biological mother was old, Cao Song took a concubine, but only took care of his own life. In the life of childhood, there were no beautiful maids around Cao Cao's brothers, coincidentally, this was also the case in Yuan Shao's family, so Cao Cao and Yuan Shao became the people who specialized in robbing other people's beautiful daughters-in-law and daughters among the gentlemen, and did a lot of bad things, thinking of this, Cao Cao showed a lewd smile.
When Lu Rui saw Cao Cao's appearance, he sighed in his heart, this middle father, remembered the romantic affairs of his youth again, and Lu Rui called out in his obsessed eyes: "Middle father? ”
Cao Cao wiped the saliva from his mouth at this time, then smiled and said, "Rui'er? ”
Lu Rui said: "Father Zhong, I want Ling'er to be my concubine in the future, I want to ride a horse on her like you, Cao Zhong said that this is very comfortable!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed, and then he picked up Lu Rui and said, "Rui'er, are these what Cao Zhong told you?" ”
Lu Rui nodded and said very seriously: "Yes, Middle Father!" ”
Cao Cao thought for a while, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, it turned out that this was the case, Cao Zhong, Cao Zhong, it turned out that you were the one who made the ghost in our house, hum, Baixianglou spent so much money and ate a lot of kickbacks, right? Hmph, seeing that Rui'er was favored, he came to curry favor with Rui'er again, and told Rui'er these things, causing me Cao Mengde to be misunderstood, Cao Zhong, Cao Zhong, it's not okay to calculate too much!
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Rui'er?" Did Cao Zhong tell you the joy of the boudoir? ”
After speaking, looking at Lu Rui playfully, Lu Rui hurriedly shook his head, waved his hand and said, "No, no, Father Zhong, it was someone else who told me, not Cao Zhong told me!" After speaking, he kept shaking his head and waving his hand, Cao Cao saw this, and completely understood in his heart, hum, children can't pretend, Rui'er looks like this, it must be Cao Zhong, Cao Zhong is the person who told Rui'er the joy of the boudoir and Emperor Han Ling's preferences, Rui'er is naughty, and there are a series of stories!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao picked up Lu Rui and said, "Rui'er, you go back to the room first, the middle father still has something to do, and he will take you to hunt tomorrow!" ”
Lu Rui happily replied and left Cao Cao's room. Out of Cao Cao's room, Lu Rui showed a weird smile, and when Ling'er saw it, he scratched his head and asked, "Childe?" ”
Lu Rui glanced at Ling'er, then kissed her under the cheek, and then said, "Ling'er, let's go, we're going to hunt." After saying that, he pulled the red bell and went to prepare.
After Cao Cao left, he instructed his subordinates, if Cao Zhong returned to the house, let Cao Zhong come to see him, Cao Cao was still kind when he spoke, and the subordinates listened to Cao Cao's instructions and went down to find Cao Zhong.
In the evening, Cao Zhong returned to Cao's mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, a subordinate ran over and said flatteringly: "Steward Cao, the master is back, and I want you to see him, it seems that he is still very happy." Congratulations to the housekeeper, did you make another great achievement? ”
When Cao Zhong heard this, his heart blossomed, could it be that Lu Rui said good things in front of Cao Cao? Hey, a maid is really worth it! Cao Zhong asked, "Has the little marquis seen the master?" ”
The subordinate nodded and said, "Yes, in the morning, I have already seen it, and after seeing the Hou Ye, the master will find the housekeeper." ”
When Cao Zhong heard this, it was really good, it seemed to be the same as he expected, thinking of this, Cao Zhong happily walked to Cao Cao's room, and after seeing Cao Cao, Cao Zhong bowed down and said, "Master." ”
Cao Cao sat on the Taishi chair, looked at Cao Zhong, and then said, "Cao Zhong, I heard that you sent a beautiful maid to Rui'er, what a big deal, and it cost a lot of money." ”
When Cao Zhong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, the villain is also for the sake of the Cao family, although the little marquis is the adopted son of the master, but he is never a member of the Cao family, we must do enough in terms of etiquette, so as not to let others underestimate the Cao family!" Cao Zhong's words are very level, Cao Zhong is completely a servant of the Cao family, for the sake of the Cao family, Lu Rui has never been a member of the Cao family, although the identity of Cao Cao is an adopted son, but he does not follow the surname Cao, when he grows up, he is a family, and now Lu Rui is a Hou Ye, giving a gift to a Hou Ye can be regarded as a relationship for the Cao family!
Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhong coldly, smart man, unfortunately, you can't live! Cao Cao smiled and said, "Cao Zhong, are you guilty?" ”
When Cao Zhong heard this, Cao Cao must have been dissatisfied with the maid he sent to Lu Rui, first cut it and then play, it must be wrong, Cao Zhong hurriedly lay down and said: "Master, spare your life, spare your life, the villain is damned, but look at the villain for the sake of the Cao family, spare the villain." After saying that, he kept kowtowing, this is the servile nature of the servant, and the little thing expands infinitely, making himself like a sin deserves death.
Cao Cao fought his sword and walked to Cao Zhong's side, Cao Zhong was still kowtowing, he was really happy in his heart, waiting for Cao Cao to stop! Cao Cao sneered in his heart: Hmph, you are for our Cao family, and it is also the glory of the Cao family for Rui'er to be the marquis, but you have forgotten to be a housekeeper, the most important thing is to maintain the face of the head of the family, not to please a child!
Cao Cao cut off Cao Zhong's head with a sword, Cao Zhong was already dead before he could shout, looking at Cao Zhong's corpse, Cao Cao laughed, hum, the person who caused me Cao Mengde to carry the black cauldron is finally dead, he deserves it!
After Cao Cao killed Cao Zhong, his heart was very happy, and after ordering someone to dispose of Cao Zhong's body, he drank happily. It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't know until he died, Cao Zhong was just a ghost for the dead!
The next day, when Lu Rui and Cao Cao went hunting, Cao Zhong was already gone, and Cao Cao explained to everyone in Cao's mansion that Cao Zhong was full of personal pockets, harming the interests of the Cao family, and was beheaded by Cao Cao. When everyone heard this, they were all scared into a cold sweat, Cao Cao was really unfathomable, he killed Cao Zhong silently, it seems that he has to be honest, Lu Rui picked a yellow flower, and said to himself: "Cao Zhong, you can go with peace of mind, I will take good care of the gift you gave me!" ”
After dealing with Cao Zhong, the relocation of Cao Mansion was almost ready, and there were still three days left before departure. Cao Cao also left the Taiwei Mansion and lived in the General's Mansion, although he was the captain of Xiyuan, but nominally He Jin's subordinate, and Cao Cao also served as the general's army, and the Taiwei Mansion couldn't live, so he naturally lived in the General's Mansion!
Just the day before Lu Rui was about to leave Luoyang, Emperor Ling of Han issued an edict to set up a banquet for Lu Rui in the palace, and Lu Rui followed the little eunuch into the palace, had a dinner with Emperor Ling of Han, and waited for Emperor Ling of Han's reward in the side hall. Emperor Han Ling was very satisfied with the elixir offered by Lu Rui, and was ready to reward Lu Rui with some things, and at the same time let Lu Rui pay more tribute to the elixir into the palace in the future, Lu Rui agreed, hehe, you won't live long anyway, so I should give you a blank check!
Soon, Zhang Rang took the holy decree and read out the reward of Emperor Ling of Han, in fact, there was nothing, just a few robes and some pearls, and he was really a greedy and stingy emperor. Lu Rui accepted the reward, and when he was about to leave, Zhang Rang stopped him.
Zhang Rang walked in front of Lu Rui and arched his hand and said, "Old slave Zhang Rang, I've seen the little marquis!" ”
Lu Rui looked at Zhang Rang's eyes, hehe, old eunuch, you want the pill in my hand, Lu Rui arched his hand and said, "Hello Father-in-law Zhang!" ”
Zhang Rang smiled and said, "The old slave knew that the little marquis was leaving the capital, so he specially prepared some small gifts for the little marquis. After saying that, he gave a small gift.
Lu Rui took a look, grandma's land, Bo Li, and Zhang Rang's Bo Li are all rare treasures, there is a night pearl bigger than his fist, and a complete big tiger skin, this tiger is at least twice the size of an ordinary tiger, and a set of jade gold silk wine utensils, one should be a dagger from the Warring States Period. The old eunuch is much kinder than the emperor.
Lu Rui looked at Zhang Rang's gift, then waved his hand and said, "Father Zhong said that you can't ask for other people's things for nothing, Father-in-law Zhang, you better take it back." ”
When Zhang Rang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Little Hou Ye, the old slave's things are not for nothing, I just hope that the Hou Ye will dedicate the elixir to His Majesty and buy some for the old slave, and the price of the old slave is definitely double the market price!" "Now in Luoyang City, the market is flooded with fake drugs about the rebirth of people who have been punished in the palace, and the price of counterfeit drugs has risen to 10,000 yuan a piece, Lu Rui knew it, and couldn't help but shake his head, alas, what a group of stupid people!
Lu Rui looked at Zhang Rang, and then suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case, Grandpa Zhang is a eunuch!" ”
When Zhang Rang heard this, his face turned pale, since he became the father of Emperor Han Ling, no one dared to call him like this anymore, but Zhang Rang quickly recovered his expression and said: "The little marquis is right, the old slave only asks for a son, and hopes that the little marquis will be fulfilled." After speaking, he also bowed to Lu Rui.
Lu Rui bit his finger and thought for a while, before making a decision and saying, "Okay, Grandpa Zhang, I can only sell you ten pills a month, because I don't have many pills in my hand, but I don't want money, I want one hundred pills, one hundred pills for one pill."
Zhang Rang listened, my good man, this kid is too ruthless, a piece of rice is worth a lot of money, especially now when the war is raging, one hundred Hu rice is a year's ration for an adult, but Zhang Rang still turned his heart and said: "Okay, since the Hou Ye said so, the old slave will exchange one hundred Hu rice for a pill." ”
Looking at Zhang Rang's appearance, Lu Rui kept snickering in his heart, hehe, old eunuch, you won't live long anyway, give me all your food! Lu Rui arched his hand, said goodbye to Zhang Rang, and left the palace.
This night, Lu Rui slept very soundly, because in troubled times, food is gold and a guarantee. Especially when the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided, it was a famous locust plague period in history, and Lu Rui didn't want to go hungry!
The next day, Lu Rui followed Cao Song to Qian County and left Luoyang!
