Chapter 178: Cao Clan
Following.
Lu Bu only took Cao Xing to lead a dozen horsemen to the banquet.
Cao Bao's mansion is in Tancheng, although Lu Bu temporarily lives in Xiaopei, but after all, he is an outsider, so it is not appropriate to bring more people to avoid misunderstanding.
On the city tower, Cao Hong, who was the captain of the city gate, had been waiting for a long time, and suddenly saw more than a dozen horsemen galloping in the direction of Xiao Pei, knowing that it was Lu Bu, he hurriedly turned around and ran down the city tower and waited at the city gate.
After a while, Lu Bu rode over, slowing down his horse when he was about to reach the city gate, Cao Hong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Under Cao Hong, he will be the captain of the city gate, and he will come to greet Wen Hou on the order of his brother!" ”
Seeing that Cao Bao had arranged so thoroughly, Lu Bu was satisfied, and he didn't get off the horse, but replied on the horse: "There is Captain Lao Cao, please!" ”
"Wen Hou, please!" After Cao Hong finished speaking, he should lead the way first.
Cao Hong had sent someone home in advance to inform him that when Lu Bu arrived at Cao's mansion, Cao Bao was already waiting at the door.
Seeing Lu Bu arrive, Cao Bao strode forward and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome to Wenhou, really let the bad house shine!" ”
Lu Bu saw Cao Baofang jump off the red rabbit horse, threw the reins to Cao Xuan behind him, and arched his hand and said: "General Cao said that he was joking, come to the house today to ask for trouble, don't blame it!" ”
After the two sides saluted, Cao Bao led Lu Bu and Cao Xing straight to the hall, and Cao Hong ordered the servants to lead the dozen horsemen brought by Lu Bu to the side hall to rest.
When he arrived in the hall, Cao Bao insisted on letting Lu Bu sit on the main seat, and Lu Bu shirked and said: "This is Cao's mansion, General Cao should be seated, how can there be a guest to sit in the main seat?" ”
Cao Bao said with a smile: "With the title of Marquis Wen, you should be on the seat!" ”
Lu Bu insisted on refusing, and Cao Bao turned to smile and said, "In this case, how about I sit on the same throne as Wen Hou?" ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed, Cao Bao immediately ordered someone to place two desks on the main seat, and the two of them sat down at the same time, with Cao Xing below and Cao Hong on the opposite side.
During the banquet, Cao Bao and Cao Hong flattered Lu Bu in every way, but Lu Bu seemed to be in a mood, his eyes looked at the back hall from time to time, and he only remembered Cao Bao's sentence "Win at a good age!" ”
Cao Bao saw Lu Bu's expression in his eyes, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "My plan is done!" ”
Seeing that the time was ripe, Cao Bao said: "Wen Hou Yong covers the universe, ancient and modern are rare, the little girl has admired it for a long time, and now I heard that Wen Hou is here, and she has specially combed her makeup, and wants to come to have a glass of wine, and I hope to allow it!" ”
Lu Bu was waiting anxiously, and when he heard Cao Bao finish speaking, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied: "This makes love sincere, how can there be any reason to refuse, please see you quickly!" After speaking, he couldn't wait to turn his head to look in the direction of the back hall.
Cao Bao gave Cao Hong a look, Cao Hong understood, got up and walked into the back hall, and led a woman into the hall in a moment, it was Cao Bao's daughter Cao.
I saw Cao's twenty-eight years old, with thin eyebrows and pink delicacy, red lips and white teeth, slim and elegant, willow and thin waist, slender hand, and a real fairy!
Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he saw Cao, and his lips subconsciously pursed, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he could only pick up the wine bottle and take a sip.
Cao's light lotus steps, Shanshan came to Lu Bu's side, his face was full of shame, he turned sideways and said to Lu Bu a blessing, lightly opened his lips, and whispered: "Little girl Cao, I've seen Wenhou!" ”
Lu Bu is a good woman, seeing that the Cao family is so beautiful, her heart is dirty, and she hurriedly replied: "No need to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”
Seeing Lu Bu's demeanor like this, Cao Bao was not angry but happy, and interjected: "Daughter, quickly pour wine with Wen Hou!" ”
"No!"
Cao Shi moved to Lu Bu and knelt down beside him, picked up the wine jug on the table and poured the wine for Lu Bu, and then picked up the wine bottle and held it in front of Lu Bu with both hands, and said softly: "Wen Hou, please drink this cup!" ”
The beauty was on the side, the fragrant wind was gusting, Lu Bu hurriedly reached out to pick up the wine bottle, but he didn't want his fingers to touch the back of Cao's hand, which made Cao's face full of shame, only to see Lu Bu's heart itching, eager and unbearable!
Seeing that Lu Bu had already taken the bait, Cao Bao deliberately coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment, and then said, "Wen Hou and drink this cup full." ”
Lu Bu suddenly came back to his senses and laughed: "Thank you girl for inviting wine!" After speaking, he drank the wine in the bottle.
Cao Shi poured a few more times for Lu Bu, and then left at Cao Bao's signal.
Lu Bu kept watching Cao's return to the back hall, and his eyes reluctantly retracted, and he drank with Cao Bao again.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Bao pretended to sigh and said, "Alas! It's a pity that the little girl's life is thin, and she has no chance to serve Wenhou, but she has a shallow fate, and she has no resentment against others! ”
Lu Bu heard that Cao Bao's words seemed to have other meanings, and asked anxiously: "Listening to General Cao's words, could it be that he deliberately matched Bu and Ling Aihu?" ”
Cao Bao said helplessly: "The little girl has admired Wen Hou, but now she has seen her true face, and it may be difficult for ordinary men to see it in the future."
I know the little girl's intentions and intend to match, but I know that Wen Hou already has a family, and I am afraid that Mrs. Wen Hou is not allowed to take a concubine, so I regret it! ”
After saying that, he sighed again.
Hearing Cao Bao say that he wanted to marry his daughter to himself as a concubine, where could Lu Bu still hold it, and got up directly and said: "General Cao only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, although Bu marries a wife, but the wife is very virtuous, and she is definitely not a jealous woman, otherwise there is Diao Chan as a concubine?" ”
Cao Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "If this is the case, it is really a great good, but I don't know if Wen Hou thinks the little girl is ugly, Kenna?" ”
Lu Bu had already been confused by Cao's beauty, and when he saw Cao Bao like this, how could he still hold it, and said directly: "If the general is really interested, please accept Lu Bu's worship!" ”
Immediately, Lu Bu gave Cao Bao the gift of son-in-law in front of Cao Xing and Cao Hong.
Cao Bao helped Lu Bu up, and the two sat down again.
Below, Cao Xing and Cao Hong both got up to congratulate the two of them, congratulating Lu Bu and Cao Bao on tying the knot.
The four of them were happy and couldn't help but drink, and Cao Bao said: "Although the little girl is married to Wen Hou as a concubine, but my Cao family is also a big family in Xuzhou, so all kinds of etiquette are indispensable. ”
Because Cao Bao wanted to use Lu Bu to improve his status, he had this requirement.
For these trivial things, Lu Bu did not allow it, and immediately said: "It should be so, when Bu returns, he will invite the matchmaker to come with the dowry and officially propose marriage, I don't know what the general wants?" ”
"Good!"
Cao Bao smiled happily.
……
Mi Zhu hurriedly walked into Chen's mansion, saw Chen Deng sitting in the study leisurely, and quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Lu Bu entered the city today and was directly introduced into Cao's mansion by Cao Hong, do you know about this?" ”
Chen Deng saw that Mi Zhu's expression was a little anxious, smiled slightly, and replied: "It is estimated that the people in the city who have a little identity in this matter already know, but I don't know." ”
Mi Zhu saw that Chen Deng's expression was relaxed, and his originally anxious mood also stabilized, turned around and sat down, and asked, "When did Lu Bu become acquainted with Cao Bao, why had he never heard of it before?" ”
Chen Deng thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that yesterday's grain delivery to Xiaopei was personally escorted by Cao Bao!" ”
Mi Zhu groaned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Cao Bao intended to marry Zhen Rong before, could it be that he wants to repeat his old tricks this time?" ”
Chen Deng smiled!
