Volume 1: Xu Du Fengyun Chapter 5: Situation (II)
Cao Hong, whose name is Lian, is the younger brother of the Sikong clan, and is now the counselor and the general of Zhennan.
He was a little unhappy, yesterday he was busy until late at night because of business, and after returning home, he and his concubine wantonly warmed up for a while before falling asleep, until this moment was woken up by his own henchman Cao Hui.
The straps of the profane garment were loose. With some difficulty, he got up and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
looked at Cao Hui, who was standing three feet away, and waved his hand to signal that he would say something if he had something, but he didn't know that Cao Hui wanted to say something. Cao Hong knew that his old steward was the most observant, but now he didn't dare to speak in front of his concubine, there must be something big.
Towards the concubine Nunu, who bowed and retreated. Cao Hui watched the concubine close the door and only took two steps forward, "Master, today I have a child at the door of the house, telling me that there is a distinguished guest at the back door of our house, originally I thought that the child was entertaining me, but who knew that he gave me this ......" said and took out a jade pendant from his arms, respectfully held it with both hands and presented it to Cao Hong.
After Cao Hong took it, he saw the word "ground" engraved on the jade pendant, and his face changed, and the original pajamas were swept away, "What about people?" ”
The latter blinked and said timidly, "I wanted to welcome you in from the front gate, but the lord didn't agree, and both of them were wearing cloaks, so I dared to welcome you in through the back door, and the lord said that he would wait until you woke up naturally and then inform you." As soon as the words fell, I saw Cao Hong on his boots, his robe had already been put on, and he said, "Change your clothes while walking." ”
With a bang, the door opened.
I saw that my son Cao Fu was serving in front of the two distinguished guests, and when he saw him coming, he stood up.
"The child has seen his father." His son came and saluted.
"Get out." Cao Hong roared. When Cao Fu heard that there were two words, he ran out quickly without raising his head after saluting, even Cao Ang didn't stop him. The raised hand was also grabbed by Cao Hong. looked at Cao Ang carefully, "Zi Yu to meet my uncle." Cao Hong just nodded, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Is it okay?" ”
Cao Ang smiled and shook his head.
"Sit, sit down, General Dian, you too." After Dian Wei hugged his fist to Cao Hong, he also sat quietly on the side, and after the three of them sat down, Cao Hong asked, "Does my brother know that you have returned?" "Cao Ang said" A few days ago, when passing by under the rule of Man Chong, Man Taishou once said that he had sent a secret letter to Xu Du, and his father must have known it. ”
Hearing the word "secret letter", how could Cao Zilian, who was an ordinary person, not be able to distinguish the situation, nodded clearly, and asked Cao Ang's experience, and after he finished speaking, Cao Hong, who listened carefully, sighed with emotion, "It's really not easy." ”
At this time, Cao Ang got up and respectfully bowed to Cao Hong, and Cao Hong said, "What does this mean?" ”
"Ang, so that I can inform my uncle that he has come to greet him today is only one thing, and the other is to ask for sin."
Cao Hong was even more puzzled by these words, and said, "What are you guilty of?" ”
"I ...... with General Dian" Cao Ang told Cao Hong how Langting was lawless and how to deal with it after that, but he was silent, Cao Ang saw this and said, "Could it be that this Langting has become Cao Hong's right-hand man?" Killing him to displease your uncle? ”
Cao Hong frowned and asked, "Who is Lang Ting?" ”
Cao Ang "......"
Dian Wei "......"
"Well, uncle doesn't know? He once said that he was recommended by your uncle to be appointed to the post of county magistrate......"
Cao Hong patted Cao Ang, looking indifferent, "Hey, I thought what was the matter, kill it." ”
Cao Hui behind him was full of black lines, and said in his heart, "I, when that Langting came to pay homage to you with a hundred gold, you also praised the family for being the minister of the humerus in the future, and this time even forgot who the family was?" I really don't feel worth it for that surnamed Lang. ”
Dian Wei's lips trembled, and he said in his heart: "Lang Ting recognized you as a backer, and you have fallen mold for eight lifetimes." ”
Cao Ang was speechless, looking at Cao Hong's big grinning appearance, he really didn't care, thinking that he was really worried.
Cao Hong stopped Cao Ang's shoulders and said with a smile: "Between you and my uncle and nephew, how can there be these differences." Uncle won't leave you for a banquet, not because of your uncle's stinginess, but because you should go home quickly. As he spoke, he whispered in his ear, "You little tiger is gone, and the monkeys are starting to bark." We're all getting annoyed. ”
Cao Ang's eyes flashed, since Cao Hong dared to say this to him, it meant that the "monkeys" had already begun to move in front of their clan relatives after learning of his "death". It's really fast. However, according to Cao Hong, as long as Cao Ang returns home, all undercurrents will stop surging.
After thinking about it in his heart, he nodded heavily at Cao Hong, "Uncle, don't worry, I know." ”
…………………………………………
Xiahou Yuan, the word is wonderful. Xiahoudun's younger brother, the current Henan Yin.
At this moment, the middle of the mansion was very lively, and Gayin Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun entered his house together to discuss important matters with him.
After listening to what Xiahoudun said, Xiahouyuan frowned and said, "Big brother, don't you want to entertain me, Zixuan is still alive?" How is it possible, Sikong himself said that he saw Zi Wei fall in a pool of blood with several arrows in his body, if you say that Dian Wei fought out of the encirclement, it is still somewhat credible, but this ......"
I saw Cao Ren on the side and said, "I didn't believe it when General Yuan Rang told me just now, but I think that Guo Fengxiao doesn't need to use this as a gimmick for entertainment, first, there is no need, and besides, he doesn't have the courage to do so." ”
Cao Ren. The word filial piety. Cao Cao served as a general in Pingdong from his younger brother.
Cao Chun on the side nodded again and again, Cao Chun, the word is he, Cao Ren's brother, and he is appointed as the governor of Cao Cao's new army.
Now, Sikong didn't make a public announcement, obviously because he didn't want to make it public, after all, the backyard was very "cheerful". Cao Chun's tone was a little playful.
Since hearing the news of Cao Ang's death, there has been a lot of shock among the clansmen, for them Cao Ang is not only Cao Cao's heirs, but also the leading figures in the second generation of the clan, benevolent and filial piety, both civil and military, well-read scriptures, and familiar with the hundred schools of thought.
The Cao family, which of the second generation of the Xiahou family is not Cao Angzhao? They were even more convinced of Cao Ang, and said that when Cao Ren's eldest son, Cao Tai, heard the news of Cao Ang's death, he was so sad that he vomited blood and wept, saying, "My eldest brother is gone, who can take care of me?" ”
All the second generations are crying, even if there are differences between the outside and the inside, they are also sad.
Xiahou Yuan nodded, digested this information and said slowly, "Zihe's words are reasonable, when I went to Sikong Mansion to meet Sikong a few days ago, I wanted Mrs. Bian, since the eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Ding returned home, Mrs. Bian has faintly had the momentum of the helmsman in the backyard, as if Sikong's mantle has been selected as his son, and what I said is that I want me to support Zihuan, Ziwen, and Zijian, although it is very subtle, but its purpose has been exposed. ”
Xiahou said with a gleam in his eyes, "That day, Mrs. Huan also intends to be a family with me, so that the little girl and Xiao Cao Chong can get married, she is even more anxious." ”
After hearing this, Cao Ren and Cao Chun looked at each other and nodded, obviously they had encountered something similar.
Xiahou Yuan looked at Xiahouyuan and asked, "What does my brother mean?" The Cao brothers also looked at Xiahoudun, obviously as the head of the clan, Xiahoudun's clapper was particularly important, Xiahoudun looked at the three of them and smiled and said, "Panic, we are attached to Sikong, and Sikong means our attitude." As he spoke, a touch of anger appeared in front of him, and he said: "The tiger and the monkey are stronger and weaker, how can they not be able to distinguish between the commonplace?" The three of them laughed softly. Cao Ren stroked his short beard and said, "Great goodness." ”
