526 Red Lantern

Walking to the secluded place, Liu Cong showed his childishness again, and hugged Wang Baoyu with a high jump, "Brother Baoyu, I didn't expect to see you in this life!" ”

"Cong'er, I miss you too, and I'm relieved to see you now." Wang Baoyu was also very happy.

"Gong Cao treats me well."

"Cong'er, how did you match Cao Cao's father and son just now?" Wang Baoyu asked puzzled.

"After the unification of the north, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, all because of Cao Gong's good governance, and Cong's heart was really admired. Cao Gong treats me very kindly, and treats me as his son, I am not a kind person, and I voluntarily recognize him as my father. Liu Cong said, there were a lot of beautiful words in his words.

"What is your position now?" Wang Baoyu asked.

Liu Cong shook his head and said: "Gong Cao asked me to be the state pastor several times, because I remember my brother's words, I didn't agree, and now I only take care of the inner house for the position of best man." ”

"Oh, that's fine, how is Mrs. Cai now?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"Mother also listens to your words, now lives in Wollongong, lives a clean life, and has no quarrel with the world, but she is also worried."

"Have you ever seen her?"

"Well, Cao Gong attaches great importance to filial piety, but often urges me to see my mother. Every time my mother mentions Brother Baoyu, she says that she spends her old age in peace because of your blessing. ”

"Well, don't mention it." Wang Baoyu sighed, "Now it seems that I can't leave for a while." ”

"Brother Baoyu, I know your heart, so I don't persuade you to follow Cao Gong, I just wish you peace." Liu Cong said.

Liu Cong can also think about it, and he doesn't compete for fame and fortune, no wonder Cao Cao likes him. The two of them chatted all the way and wandered around the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao's words of getting lost are not a joke, the Prime Minister's Mansion not only covers an extremely wide area, but also has many road twists and turns, according to Liu Cong, for safety, many places in the palace have hidden weapons, once outsiders come in, let alone want to sneak attack Cao Cao, even if you want to get out of the whole body, it is not easy.

But it can also be seen that Liu Cong can manage such a large and complex inner house, which shows that Cao Cao not only loves him, but also trusts him very much.

Under the leadership of Liu Cong, the two of them first turned the front office area, and to Wang Baoyu's surprise, Cao Cao, the prime minister's subordinate, itself has many direct officials, that is to say, this prime minister's mansion is almost an independent kingdom.

Unconsciously, the two of them moved to the residential area in the back, where most of the people lived were female dependents, and Liu Cong received preferential treatment from Cao Cao and could live with his family.

Cao Cao's real sons, of course, don't live here, they each have mansions. As for why Liu Cong can live here, and there is no need to avoid female dependents, it is unknown what Cao Cao is thinking.

There are dozens of houses of similar specifications, and from the clothes and bedding that are dried outside, the people living inside should be women, and from the style and pattern, most of them are young or women who love to dress up.

There is another phenomenon that attracted Wang Baoyu's attention, that is, most of the houses have a red lantern hanging at the door, and I can't help but ask curiously: "Why are the lanterns hung?" ”

"If any lantern is lit at night, Cao Gong will stay here for the night." Liu Cong explained.

Wang Baoyu paid attention to it, there are a total of nineteen, that is to say, Cao Cao's current wives and concubines add up, there are a total of nineteen, and they are really old-hearted, and they are busy picking flowers every night.

Among these houses, there is a special one, it is a two-story building, the decoration is also very beautiful, there is a sense of standing out from the crowd, Wang Baoyu asked: "Who lives here, it looks more good." ”

"This is the residence of Mrs. Bian, the wife of Cao Cheng's room, and Mrs. Bian raised many children for Cao Bing, so she treated her preferentially." Liu Cong explained.

Mrs. Bian, Wang Baoyu thought about it carefully, and vaguely remembered this person, as if Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were born to her, so it is no wonder that she can become the wife of the main room.

was walking, and suddenly a woman came out of a room next to her, about forty years old, with a duck egg face, willow eyebrows, and a goose-yellow shirt dress.

"Cong'er, there is a lack of incense sticks in the house, please arrange it." The woman said, and there was something else in her voice.

Liu Cong hurriedly agreed, promising to do it later, and after walking, Wang Baoyu inquired again: "Who is this beautiful girl?" ”

"Mrs. Lu." Liu Cong replied in a low voice.

"Which Mrs. Lu, I don't seem to have heard of it." Wang Baoyu scratched his head and said.

Liu Cong's face was embarrassed, he would not sue him if he were an ordinary person, but Wang Baoyu was his iron buddy, so he leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Mrs. Lu, she was Liu Bei's wife." ”

Yes? Wang Baoyu's face was stunned, and Liu Cong hurriedly signaled Wang Baoyu to be quiet, pretending not to know.

Wang Baoyu understood, and couldn't help but say: "Cao Cao is really not a picky eater, anyone's daughter-in-law wants it, no wonder when he sleeps at night, he has to put a sword under his pillow, there are too many potential hidden dangers." ”

Liu Cong smiled, pointed to a house not far away, and said, "Mrs. Zhao over there was also Liu Bei's wife. ”

Wang Baoyu almost fainted, and asked with wide eyes, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There are only these two ladies."

There are also many two-bedrooms! Cao Cao even married Liu Bei's two-room wife, no wonder Liu Bei hates Cao Cao so much, always thinking that one day he will conquer the north and take his wife's hatred, which is not the same as Dai Tian!

Looking at the problem from the perspective of modern people, the reason why Cao Cao accepted a pair of daughters-in-law from Liu Bei is probably because he feels a sense of accomplishment, and a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ can also stimulate the opponent! But on another level, none of the wives of these princes were not beautiful, and the status of women at that time was low, and there was no essential difference between them and commodities, so they didn't feel expensive when they got it, and they didn't feel very sorry to lose it.

Cao Cao has many daughters-in-law, so there are many sons, which is like Liu Bei, the daughter-in-law is either dead or left, and now there is not even a main room, so far there is only one Adou under his knees, although there are several daughters, and two have been abducted.

Thinking of this, Wang Baoyu was excited. That's right, Liu Bei's two daughters were taken away by Cao Cao's men, remembering the deathbed trust of Liu Bei's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gan, and asked in a low voice: "Cong'er, do you know where Liu Bei's two daughters are?" ”

"Brother is asking Liu Hui and Liu Fang, right?" Liu Cong said.

"Yes, yes, it's just the two of them! Alas, they followed Cao Bing for me. Wang Baoyu didn't hide it.

"Hehe, my brother is a passionate person, the two princesses are here, and they may be seen in front of them." Liu Cong said with a smile, pulling Wang Baoyu along the road to continue walking, and after turning a few detours, there was a burst of women's laughter in the middle of a rockery.

Wang Baoyu followed Liu Cong through the middle of the two rockeries, and saw a huge open space, standing more than a dozen slides, and there were a lot of Qianqiu and trampolines around, dozens of girls, up and down, having a lot of fun.
