"Miss Zhaoji, why did the piano stop sounding, could it be because I came in a hurry and disturbed you?"

Cao Ang pushed open the door and came in.

The first thing is to confess to Cai Yan.

And after seeing this man, Cai Zhaoji's previous vigilance and resistance disappeared in an instant.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Cai Yan stood up and saluted Cao Ang.

"Zi Yan is serious, it's because my skills are not good enough, and I played the wrong note, it's not your fault!"

"On the contrary, it is this quiet and peaceful mansion, I pluck the strings plainly, and the sound is disturbing and quiet, and I hope that the son is not strange!"

This can be said to be quite modest.

It's not like sleeping and playing the piano in the middle of the night.

In this blue sky and white day, being able to hear Cai Yan's piano is actually a kind of enjoyment.

And Cao Ang is also very appropriate.

showed an extremely surprised expression, and looked at Cai Yan in disbelief.

"What is Zhao Ji talking about, regardless of others, as far as I am concerned, I have just entered the door, and I can't help but be attracted by the sound of your piano."

"If you listen to Xianle's ears, it's temporary!"

"In just a few moments, I feel that the fatigue in my body and the tension of the march for many days have been relieved."

Words of beauty, without stinginess.

Anyway, it's just a click and a boast.

It's a bit of an exaggeration.

And with a little bit of fun.

So much so that Cai Zhaoji, who has always maintained a ladylike demeanor, treats people calmly, and rarely exaggerates, is after listening to such praise at this moment.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth with one hand.

There was a soft giggle.

……

You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery.

The people watching the view are watching you from upstairs.

Cai Yan at this moment.

In Cao Ang's eyes, it is a beautiful scenery.

Especially this moment of covering his mouth and smiling, it made Cao Ang feel even more excited.

She has always been a quiet and elegant woman.

Under his own teasing, he uncharacteristically wrote great joy and happiness on his face, and in an instant, he broke many of Cao Ang's previous impressions of her.

This sense of contrast.

It is the most attractive to show people.

That complex sense of contradiction that wants to laugh and stop makes Cai Zhaoji seem to be exuding a soft light all the time.

Especially today, Zhao Ji wore an emerald green satin dress, which was even more emerald in the bright skylight.

That slender waist, tall figure.

Accompanied by a delicate tremor caused by a chuckle.

It's really like a thin willow swaying in the wind.

As the saying goes: "The willows at the water's edge bend the dust, and immediately annoy you to break a branch." ”

In Cao Ang's opinion.

Lakeside willows like Cai Zhaoji.

If it is possible, he will not let it be broken, if it is not possible, then he will create the possibility!

So after Cai Yan stopped laughing.

Cao Ang arched his hand at her again.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a slight smile, and at the same time he said with hope and expectation.

"Don't hide it from Miss Zhaoji, in fact, I came here today just to hear you play a few songs."

……

Hear that.

Cai Yan who regained her ladylike posture.

Blink twice with watery eyes.

Quite curiously asked: "Ziyu never thought of coming to me to listen to the piano in the past, why is he so interested today?" ”

For Cao Ang, who has already given a full dose of acting skills and words, answering Cai Zhaoji's question is simply easy, and he can make up a set with his eyes closed.

He immediately retracted his smile.

Pose with a slightly distressed face.

"Alas!"

"Zhaoji, do you know, I led my troops to the front line this time, fought bloody battles with the enemy for many days, and was almost broken by the enemy several times."

"After this series of fierce battles, it is tantamount to galloping on the edge of a cliff, dancing on the tip of a knife."

"Although I have won a big victory, the burden on my heart has not been lifted for a long time, and when I close my eyes, I can recall the situation in the past, and I often wake up in my sleep in the middle of the night."

If these words were heard by the Yellow Turban Army attacking Xiaqiu County, I am afraid that a question mark would pop up in my head.

When have we been fighting for so long?

How can we be, how can we almost break through the city guarded by your General Cao Da many times?

Of course.

Cai Yan must not be clear about these specific situations, so Cao Ang has no psychological burden.

After exaggerating a pass.

Cao Ang appropriately showed a sincere and sincere expression, and stared at Cai Zhaoji with deep eyes.

"I have heard Zhao Ji's music for a long time, and plucking the strings with your hands can soothe people's hearts, so I came here today with the shame to ask Miss Zhao Ji to play a few songs to relieve the burden on my heart!"

……

Cao Ang's "symptoms" were particularly severe.

So much so that Cai Yan was a little surprised in his heart.

"I don't think I have such a situation, if I can't find a way to alleviate one or two, won't it be difficult to rest day and night?"

Speaking of which.

Cai Yan raised his right hand to Cao Ang.

"If my piano sound can really be useful, then the concubine is naturally obliged."

"Sit down, and when I tune the strings, I'll play a song for you!"

Cao Ang honestly sat down on the side.

And Cai Yan was busy for a while.

He also knelt down in front of the desk.

With his hands on the strings, he closed his eyes and meditated, and this was brewing for a while.

Only then did he pluck the strings with his bare hands.

"Zheng~"

With the first sound appeared.

Cai Zhaoji suddenly entered the state, and the whole person seemed to fall into a situation of forgetting about things and me in an instant, leaving only the guqin in front of her.

……

Cao Ang sat aside.

Listen to the sound of the spring in your ears.

stared at Cai Yan for a long time.

Since it is a kneeling position.

Therefore, Cai Yan, who looks extremely thin on weekdays, is bound by the belt around her waist, and the emerald green dress on her body looks a little tight.

After taking off the embroidered shoes, he wore only his feet with socks and the soles of his feet spread out and faced backwards.

Although separated by a layer of fabric.

But as Akihime plays the piano note, her mood fluctuates back and forth, and the arch of her foot will occasionally tremble, and a few small and delicate toes with full and distinct distinctions will open and twist to the left and right from time to time.

It's like a few whitebait, ready to break out of the net.

When the gaze is up.

It can be seen that Zhao Ji's snow-white and delicate, smooth melon seed little face, although Qiushui's eyes are full of affection, but they are always staring at the guqin in front of him.

Maybe it's because I don't like glamorous makeup.

Cai Yan's face was a little plain.

In particular, the plump and tender lip flap does not seem to be stained with rouge, and still retains a peach-like pink color, which looks delicious and juicy.

With its white fingers like shallots, it is extremely agile to pluck back and forth on several strings, and when the white wrist like the bright moon is raised and lowered, the melodious and tactful tune has been gurgling out like flowing water.

……

Cao Ang's so-called motive for listening to the piano is impure.

But listen, listen, listen.

He couldn't help but indulge in it.

It's really Cai Yan's skills that are too superb.

is worthy of being the world's top talent, and this piano sound is enough to make people fall in love with it.

The melodious and soothing melody drifts into the ears, as if the warm spring breeze blows on the cheeks, and it seems to make people under the warm winter sun, and there is an urge to spread out and lie on the grass, and sleep until they wake up naturally.

Sometimes it looks like mountains and flowing water.

Sometimes it's like a hollow valley orchid.

Cao Ang didn't know much about music and rhythm, and he didn't know any advanced terms.

But in his opinion.

It is precisely because he can make a novice in music and rhythm like himself feel intoxicated by it that he can more and more reflect Cai Yan's superb level.

Now it's a treasure.

The time of a tune passed quickly.

As the last note popped out of the strings, Cai Yan also slowly stopped his hands plucking the strings, and after calming down, he couldn't help but turn his head sideways to look at Cao Ang on the side.

I saw that he also closed his eyes and listened.

After a long time.

Cao Ang opened his eyes suddenly, as if he realized that the sound of the piano had stopped, and the whole person looked stunned, as if he had not yet woken up from the world of music.

Shook his head.

Concentrate yourself later.

Cao Ang was not stingy, and made a gesture of praise to Cai Yanbi, and praised him sincerely.

"The aftermath lingers, and it will not stop for three days!"

"Zhao Ji's skills are close to the Tao, I think your attainments in the way of music and rhythm are not inferior to Bo Jiaogong!"

……

Who doesn't like heartfelt compliments?

Anyway, Cai Yan was very happy in his heart.

She couldn't help but smile again.

The voice was as warm as water: "The skill of the micro end, Zi Yu can like it, it is the best." ”

"I just wonder if your state of mind has improved now?"

Cao Ang nodded again and again.

"It's so effective, I feel a lot more relaxed from top to bottom, and I should be able to sleep peacefully tonight."

Speaking of which.

Before Cai Zhaoji showed a look of relief.

Cao Angyou said with a little distress.

"It's a pity that listening to the piano once is still too short after all, and it can only be said that it has improved, but it has not completely cleared the symptoms."

Hear that.

Cai Yan was not suspicious.

Instead, it was logical to take over the conversation.

After blinking his eyes like Ruifeng, he smiled in a relaxed tone.

"In that case, then in the future, I will play the piano and play music for you every time, and after a long time, it will naturally be completely eradicated!"

The young girl, how could she know the depth of Cao Ang's routine, and she had fallen into the trap without realizing it.

Actively turned off the defense.

He extended an inviting hand to Cao Ang.

And that's exactly what Cao Ang needs!

If there is no reason for today, then he will want to go here twice in three days in the future, which is also a lot of inconvenience, after all, he is indeed not familiar to that point, and it is too rude to come uninvited from time to time.

But now it's different.

When he can have free time in the future, he will go here, and after a long time, won't this relationship deepen, and won't the relationship be cultivated?

Tut!

The plan is achieved!

……

The next few days.

Cao Ang's schedule is full.

One of the most important things is to work with Zhang Liao to preside over the expansion of the Tiger Camp.

In the Battle of Yuncheng, the 3,000 Huben battalion led by Zhang Liao faced nearly 1,000 casualties in the face of more than 10,000 enemy troops.

Now that there is finally an opportunity to quickly replenish the troops, it is natural to seize the opportunity to make up for the shortfall and at the same time expand the strength of the army.

Cao Ang's initial vision.

It is to expand the tiger camp to 5,000 people.

Transformed from a battalion to a tiger army.

Among the soldiers who were recruited, they were all high-quality young men who were originally in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves, and they were more experienced and more robust.

Therefore, after the expansion, it is not necessary to go through a long period of training to have a mature army with considerable combat effectiveness.

Later, when he led his troops to Dongjun.

With such a large army, it is easy to subdue the various hill forces in the county.

At the same time, after having as many as 5,000 troops, he could barely be regarded as having a little confidence to meddle in the affairs of Jizhou in the north in the future.

It is worth mentioning.

Cao Ang promoted Zhang Liao's official position to the captain of the Huben Battalion, that is, the position he held at the beginning, in fact, the core has not changed, but the grade is higher, and it is just more face-saving to say it.

As for Xun Yu and Xun You, the two uncles and nephews, Cao Ang planned to arrange an official position for the two of them after he took office as the Taishou of Dongjun.

……

And other than that.

Something else.

It was Ren Jun who sent someone to report that he had found an iron mine in the demarcated place, and the coal mine also had some eyebrows.

Although Cao Ang had expected it.

But when it comes to actually hearing the news.

I still feel excited.

As long as the first batch of iron ore is mined, the embarrassment of the Cao family's iron shortage can be alleviated immediately, and all kinds of iron utensils can be thrown off at that time.

And after getting the news.

Cao Ang naturally urged his father Cao Cao in a hurry, and rushed to send a group of miners over first, and then talk about the mining business first.

So after a few things.

There is nothing else to worry about Cao Ang, the military tun that implements the work-for-relief model, Cao Cao himself understands this thing.

Even if Lao Cao doesn't know, isn't there still Chen Gong and them, there is no need for Cao Ang to get started with it.

So I'm done with my work.

In the next few days, he spent all day wandering between the houses and courtyards, focusing on a preacher and imparting fluids.

…………

And so, a few days later, one morning.

Cao Ang woke up from Dong Bai's side.

Looking at the eldest lady beside him, curled up in the brocade quilt like a kitten, Cao Ang couldn't help but gently hook his nose twice.

"Huh~"

Dong Bai slapped his strange hand away, and let out a burst of sighs, looking at such a cute and delicate appearance, just when Cao Ang showed a little smile.

Suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and then I saw a man stop in front of the door of his house, knocking lightly on the door.

"Childe, someone from the Taishou Mansion has come, saying that there is an urgent matter, please come over!"

Listen to the maid's report.

Cao Ang's expression was straight.

Taishoufu represented his father Cao Cao, and soon after dawn this early morning, he hurriedly invited him over, thinking that something big had happened.

Cao Ang will not waste time.

After comforting Xiaobai and making him continue to sleep peacefully, he quickly dressed up and followed the visitor to the Taishou Mansion.
