With Cao Ang's greeting.

Zhen Mi, who was hiding by the door and probing her brain, after a few seconds of hesitation, still chose to pluck up her courage, carried a small skirt, and ran in with a cigarette.

Originally, I was going to hide behind my sister as usual.

Just raised her head slightly, and bumped into her sister Zhen Jiang's encouraging eyes, and after a little thought, Zhen Mi stopped her steps.

turned to take small steps, and came to Cao Ang with a smart body, and then saluted decently.

"Mi has seen the general!"

is full of immature voice, full of childlike fun and cuteness, but the words that come out of her mouth seem extremely mature and formal.

Two very different meanings combined.

Full of complex and contradictory senses.

Cao Ang didn't really like this feeling.

An eight-year-old girl behaves like her teenage sister in words and deeds, which doesn't seem like a good thing.

So after a slight pause.

Cao Ang feigned a long sigh.

"Alas!"

"It's only been a long time since Quliang County, but I didn't expect it to become rusty all of a sudden."

"Brother who said yes, but now he has become a general again, Ah Mi is really used to hurting people's hearts!"

No matter how mature Zhen Mi is.

There is also a lot of imitation in it.

Her nature is still based on the foundation of an eight-year-old girl.

Therefore, in the face of Cao Ang, a master who can handle this way, how can he have much parrying skills?

In particular, Cao Ang has a sentence that is very true.

At the beginning of Quliang County, after experiencing the so-called lady's thing, she and Cao Ang were still a little close, and they were indeed called "brother".

This time, it is not advancing but retreating.

Therefore, Cao Ang's slightly complaining words made Zhen Mi feel a little embarrassed.

……

"Brother!"

After a moment of hesitation.

Zhen Mi finally chose to follow her own heart, raised her head, looked up with a delicate little face, and called Cao Ang with a coquettish voice.

"That's right!"

Cao Ang was very pleased to approve.

Habitually want to pinch the little face in front of me.

However, as soon as her hand was raised, it suddenly occurred to me that this little girl especially didn't like others like this, which would damage her demeanor as a "lady".

So it was quickly put down again.

But what Cao Ang never expected was this.

Zhen Mi covered her face with her hands at the moment, covering her white and round face.

Then the voice passed through the gap between his ten fingers, muttering to Cao Ang's ears.

"As long as you don't pinch your face!"

I was stunned for a few seconds.

Cao Ang tentatively put his hand on Zhen Mi's little head, avoided the left and right buns, and gently touched the soft hair in the middle twice.

Suddenly.

Zhen Mi is as if she has been absorbed by her soul.

The whole person squinted his eyes slightly, as if a docile and cute cat was being tickled by his owner.

Cao Ang: "Ah Wei is dead!" ”

……

Maybe there is a sister watching from the sidelines.

Zhen Mi was not too embarrassed to be touched by Cao Ang all the time.

Therefore, after two strokes, the little girl took two steps back and stopped Cao Ang's next move.

In this regard, Cao Ang naturally will not force it.

Instead, I switched the topic very smoothly.

Pointing to a book Jane that Zhen Mi was carrying, he asked, "What is Ah Mi studying?" ”

I heard Cao Ang mention this.

Zhen Mi picked up the bamboo slip with both hands.

And then half of the statement, half of the complaint: "It's "Cangjie Chapter", my sister said that I am such a big person, I should be more literate." ”

"But this article is too difficult, in addition to the first two chapters that are read smoothly, each of the following chapters, you have to ask and read it."

"I'm tired!"

The so-called Cangjie chapter is a reading material compiled in the Qin and Han dynasties and used to enlighten children to read and write.

It was pioneered by Qin Xiang Li Si.

After successive revisions by Yang Xiong, Ban Chao and Jia Yi and others, it was a very mature and high-level enlightenment book in the Han and Han dynasties.

And the reason why it is called high-order.

It is precisely because there are so many rare words in it.

The first two chapters are fine, and from the second half of the third chapter, the difficulty increases exponentially.

Even if Cao Ang was asked to admit it at this stage, he didn't dare to pat his chest, and he was sure that he could pass a few levels.

……

That's why Zhen Mi said so.

Cao Ang smiled and comforted: "My daughter's family should be more literate and read more." ”

"However, research is by no means a day's work, but relies on the accumulation of water drops and stones, which cannot be achieved overnight, so there is no need to work too hard every day."

"I'll be the master today, give you half a day off, read it tomorrow, and play now!"

A look of surprise flashed on Zhen Mi's face, but out of caution, she still glanced back at Zhen Jiang.

After seeing my sister nod in agreement.

Zhen Mi cheered at this time.

Then he said to the two in a sweet voice: "Thank you brother, thank you sister, you are so good!" ”

Wait for the voice to fall.

Zhen Mi ran out with a smoke, and the whole person was bouncing, like a little cat with joy.

looked at Zhen Mi's distant back.

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

After such a back and forth, the next time I see myself, this little girl should be able to become a lot more intimate and warm.

Just as Cao Ang's thoughts were flying.

I suddenly heard Zhen Jiang's warm, like a river of spring water flowing quietly.

"The general seems to like Ah Mi very much!"

……

"That's true!"

Cao Ang nodded unabashedly.

But in the face of Zhen Jiang's projected gaze.

Cao Ang still explained a little bit.

"I am the eldest son in the family, and there is also a sister of a mother below, and when I see Ah Mi, it is like seeing the little girl at the beginning."

"So it's inevitable that it's a little more spoiled."

Zhen Jiang bowed slightly.

When she said this, she naturally didn't have any doubts about Cao Ang, but Cao Ang loved her sister, which was good news for the family.

So after a casual chat.

Zhen Jiang skipped this matter.

Instead, he bowed slightly to Cao Ang like water, and then asked with a little doubt.

"Please forgive the concubine for being presumptuous, I don't know if the general is here this time, but what are your orders?"

Cao Ang shook his head.

While bowing his hand slightly to Zhen Jiang.

"I can't talk about the word command, but today I invited Wende to meet at the mansion, and I learned from him that a few days ago, he showed his might in the Taishou Mansion, and the credit came from the hands of Miss Zhen Jiang."

"I was a little curious in my heart in the next place, and I also wanted to thank the girl, so I simply came to visit in person, and I hope to forgive me for the abruptness!"

This matter is slightly consistent with the speculation in my heart.

Zhen Jiang's heart settled down slightly.

Homeopathy replied in a humble tone.

"The general is really serious, it's just a little shallow opinion of the concubine, how can you be so solemn as the general."

……

Nodded casually.

didn't take Zhen Jiang's humble words to heart.

Cao Ang turned to the side slightly, and then asked Zhen Jiang in a leisurely tone.

"Miss Zhen Jiang, can you tell me what you thought at the time, how you were sure that I would not give up Wei Jun and let Brother Ling stand up and speak?"

Zhen Jiang's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

This way of asking questions.

It feels like Cao Ang is testing her somehow, and if she answers well, she will be able to get a great bonus in Cao Ang's heart.

Although it is not known where this test comes from.

But in any case, Cao Ang's attitude is related to the prosperity of the Zhen family, and he will do everything possible to make Cao Ang recognize the Zhen family more and continue to increase his weight.

This is something that every family member should do.

Therefore, after carefully considering the rhetoric and making the draft.

Zhen Jiang bowed slightly to Cao Ang.

Tell the story.

……

"The concubine has been in the boudoir for a long time, and she doesn't know much about political planning and marching and fighting, and I don't know what kind of way the general will deal with the surging Black Mountain thieves."

"But there's only one thing I know!"

"That is, based on the general's past experience, you can know that you are definitely not a person who will back down easily!"

Speaking of which.

Zhen Jiang paused slightly.

Then I heard her voice lift her breath slightly.

And then the text followed.

"The general has great ambitions and lofty vision, your ambition should be the sea of stars, the world, and the heroes."

"There are some thieves here, where do they have the qualifications to make you retreat, they are not even worthy of being your opponents, they are nothing more than a few stepping stones."

"It is precisely because of these expectations that the concubine is sure that you will definitely come back, general, and it turns out that the concubine is not bad at what she expected!"

Maybe the more you talk about it, the more emotional it becomes.

In the following paragraphs.

Zhen Jiang even waved his right hand gently, and his eyes, which were already raining and dewy, were like blue waves at this moment, lighting up with a bright arc.

It gives people the feeling that everything she says comes from the heart, not from flattery.

……

Hiss!

Cao Ang couldn't help but inhale coldly.

What a damn charm!

If you blow it any longer, you're really going to float!

But at this point, Cao Ang is also completely sure of one point, that is, the woman in front of him is indeed very capable.

If the above words are from the heart, it means that you have a vision, know our grand plan, and have lofty aspirations.

If he deliberately said this in order to cater to himself, then Zhen Jiang looked so impassioned and had a light in his eyes.

It is enough to prove that his pretending kung fu is not low.

I can have this level.

can definitely be called a heroine among women!

I thought so.

Cao Ang did not immediately express his position.

Instead, he asked meaningfully: "If I don't come back this time, then all your guesses and efforts will not be in vain?" ”

Zhen Jiang returned to his previous gentle appearance, and smiled politely at Cao Ang.

"In fact, since the concubine moved to Yecheng with her little sister to live, it means that the Zhen family and General Cao are already closely related."

"General, if you can stand taller, our Zhen family will grow stronger and stronger, and vice versa, the qi of our family is tied to you, General."

"Thinking about it this way, no matter whether you can return on time, general, our Zhen family must come forward, even if you don't return, the Zhen family has nothing to lose, so why not?"

Speaking of which.

Zhen Jiang added as if with an exclamation.

"Actually, the concubine originally planned to come forward in person and tell everyone what she taught A-Yao."

"It's just that I'm a woman, and I don't have anything special in my identity, so it's somewhat inconvenient, so I can only do it in the end."

……

"Ordinary ...... status"

Cao Ang repeated.

A long silence followed.

In the entire hall, there was only the sound of Cao Ang tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

Other than that, there is no other sound.

From Zhen Jiang's point of view, Cao Ang was frowning at the moment, his eyes were full of thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

And so on for a long time.

Cao Angcai said lightly.

"As far as I know, the people of the Ling clan have not moved here yet, only you and Ah Mi are the forerunners, so it is inevitable that you will be lonely in this city."

"If you have a heart on weekdays, you might as well come to the Taishou Mansion to walk around, I'm still very interested in chatting with Miss Zhen Jiang and teaching Ah Mi poetry to read and write!"

"Hmm...... Well? ”

I heard this at first glance.

Zhen Jiang's whole person was stunned.

What do you mean by that?

coldly let himself take his sister to the door, and chatted with himself......

Could it be ...... General Cao: Is he a little interesting to me?

It's no wonder that Zhen Jiang thinks so.

It is really the information revealed in Cao Ang's words, and some of the directions are too clear.

And as soon as the thought came to me.

Zhen Jiang's cheeks suddenly appeared with layers of redness, and even the delicate earlobes and the snow-white and tender back of the neck were all reflecting a faint pink color at this moment.

……

Although Cao Ang's statement did not directly specify how to prepare.

But it's often this slightly subtle language.

It's even more reverie and flying.

Especially Zhen Jiang still remembers that before he set off from Quliang County, his eldest brother Zhen Yan had taught and signaled to him.

One of them made it clear.

That is, the reason why she was sent to Yecheng first this time was to let her get closer to General Cao Angcao.

The first is to bring the relationship closer.

The next step is to work hard to enter the house and directly sit on the position of General Cao's wife, who has been vacant.

Although the Zhen family is now bound to General Cao, this relationship is not close enough.

It can be unbound at any time.

Therefore, it is necessary to rely on this way to make the two families truly related.

These are all the advice of the eldest brother to her.

Zhen Jiang has never forgotten.

It's just that after coming to Yecheng, Cao Ang has been floating outside, and there is no chance to make contact.

And to her surprise.

General Cao actually took the initiative to invite her this time, and there was no need for him to think of some reason to make contact.

Come to think of it.

Zhen Jiang couldn't help but salute Cao Ang softly.

"The general is warmly invited, how can the concubine refuse, she will move more in the future!"

There was a slight jitter in the response.

The words are full of trills.

No matter how gentle and generous she is on weekdays, she is dignified and full of ladylike style.

In the face of this kind of thing.

It's impossible to be calm at all!

After all, she is just a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet, not a scheming political animal.

In matters involving men and women.

There should be no less shyness.

…………

After getting Zhen Jiang's affirmative answer.

Cao Ang bowed slightly.

He smiled gently.

"Then I'll be waiting for you at home!"

The reason why Cao Ang made such a move.

Nature has a deep meaning.

In fact, after many considerations about Zhen Jiang before, Cao Ang already had a faint plan.

That is to put this woman in the position of his wife, so that the mansion, which has always lacked a real hostess, will be completely filled.

And the reason why the person was selected as Zhen Jiang.

One is her mind and heart.

As the number of people in the back house increases, there must be someone who has the ability to control other people, and who can grasp the scale, and know the existence of proportion.

Only then can we ensure the stability and harmony of the back house.

If the wife is a person like Cai Yan who is not familiar with ordinary affairs and is immersed in her own small world.

I'm afraid that the backyard is overturned, and Cai Yan can leisurely hold a book and read it simply, or even if she wants to manage it, she can't find any good way.

Cao Ang didn't want to go out by himself, and in the days when he couldn't control it, the harem made trouble every day because of this.

So how can he do big things outside?

Therefore, the position of the main mother and wife must be someone who has a certain ability and is good at dealing with these things, and Zhen Jiang is very suitable.

……

In addition to this, there is an important point.

That's the woman around me at the moment.

The only people who can be promoted to the position of wife are Zhen Jiang and Cai Yan, who are either from the poetry and scholar family or from the old family.

The biggest difference between the two.

Cai Yong is still alive now, and the Cai family is still a relatively active force that cannot be ignored.

Especially the fact that the poetry and books are heirlooms makes the Cai family have a certain degree of independence.

Such a family that is still active is easy to take advantage of the wind and evolve into a powerful relative.

And an old family like the Zhen family has declined.

Even if business is booming now, and business is done all over half of the north, they are strictly speaking, semi-completely dependent on themselves.

If Cao Ang is determined to fight.

It only needs to cut off the most important chains of the Zhen family from the political level, and the vitality of this huge business family will be damaged by most of it.

Even scrapped!

Even if such a family becomes a relative, it will be firmly in its own hands in the future.

Compared with the two, the judgment is severe.

It is not surprising that such a choice was made.

……

In fact, choose the words of the Zhen family.

Zhen Mi is not impossible.

But this girl is too young now.

Cao Ang couldn't wait a few years.

In that case, even if he is not in a hurry, his father Cao Cao, his mother Mrs. Ding, and even a group of civil and military generals under his hands may have to be in a hurry first.

The position of the lord's wife is vacant, and the son-in-law has not yet come out.

This means that if there is a lack of existence in a force that can inherit the cause, how can such a force be stable?

People's hearts fluctuate, this is absolutely there!

Therefore, this option is preferentially excluded.

And so it goes.

Only Zhen Jiang is the most suitable candidate.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it later!

Of course.

has a preliminary intention, it does not mean that Cao Ang recognized Zhen Jiang, she has to be.

There are still a few steps to go through.

Especially my father and mother.

How much to discuss and communicate.

But it's easy to do.

After leveling the Black Mountain thieves and repelling Yuan Shu who went north, there was time to discuss.
