Chapter 536

The wind was blowing, and although it was not snowing, the clouds in the sky were gathering more and more.

The sun flickered and dimmed, and the shadows in the camp flickered and dimmed, and some people looked up at the sky in confusion, and sighed at the black clouds that were gradually thickening.

Such a heavy scene could not be seen in the tent, because the curtain was tightly lowered and the curtain of the window was closed, and except for a small window at the top to prevent charcoal, the tent could be called impermeable, so that the sun could not be seen, and the day was as dark as evening.

To work in such a tent, it is necessary to light a lamp, but Mrs. Bian cherishes the lamp oil very much, and several women only light a lamp around them, and put a charcoal basin at their feet, so they silently sew and mend the seams.

It was at this time that Cao Pi came to the door.

He was very respectful, and after asking the maid in the tent to report, he stood in the cold wind and waited for a long time, until the sound of the squirming skirt swaying on the ground gradually faded away, as if he had entered the back tent, and after the maidservant girl came out to roll up the curtain for him, he lowered his head and walked to his mother's side in small steps.

"The father ordered his son to come here to report the news," Cao Pi knelt on the ground and bowed in a dignified manner before speaking, "There have been envoys to Lu Lian's tent to pay respects, and they have also brought gifts prepared by Grandma for Gorou and General Lu. ”

The soft-looking Mrs. Bian put down the work in her hand and nodded slightly.

"In that case, I am relieved."

Her voice was soft, her response was brief, and according to the etiquette, Cao Pi should bow and then leave the tent where her mother and concubines lived.

But the clever boy did not do so, but continued to reply and waited respectfully for his mother to say something more.

Mrs. Bian noticed it, and her Chunshan-like brows furrowed slightly, "My son still has something to say?" ”

Cao Pi's face really showed uneasiness.

"Mother......

"Huh?"

"The son once persuaded the mother, and the mother also responded to the son's request," Cao Pi said, "Lu Lian has such a reputation, how can he embarrass a child?" The son didn't know what his mother meant. ”

The serene and peaceful smile on Madame Bian's face vanished, but instead of getting angry or refuting in a loud voice, she just nodded slightly.

"I am a woman's family, and it is not uncommon for me to be ill-conceived and overly worried," she said softly at last, "and your father will forgive me." ”

…… This is a bit unreasonable, but as a son, Cao Pi has no way to refute it, so he has to bow and leave.

When the maidservants on both sides opened the curtain, the cold sunlight outside sprinkled in an instant, stretching Cao Pi's figure walking out thin and long, and stabbed Mrs. Bian like a sharp nail.

Her eyes must have turned red at that moment.

She gave birth to several sons, and she is also the highest-ranking among Cao Cao's current wives and concubines, and can barely be called a main room, but in her nightmares these days, the face of another woman always appears.

The lady was of good character, and although she was not kind, she never embarrassed her. That was the real mistress here, and although she had no son of her own, the other concubine died young, and the child she gave birth to was carefully raised by her as her own.

The boy was born handsome, generous, talented and strategic, a good son of the first class, all the younger brothers respected this brother, and all the elders felt that the foundation of the Cao family should be inherited by him.

Then Wancheng battled, and everything changed.

Mrs. Bian will always remember that day, and she remembers Mrs. Ding's almost crazy face.

"He gave up his horse for you! You didn't save him! She screamed, "You didn't even save him!" ”

She still remembered that the crimson dark stripe on her husband's body was grabbed by Mrs. Ding and dragged outward, as if she wanted to pull his heart and liver out to take a look!

"He's dead!" The husband's voice was low and clear, "How can I save it!" ”

"Don't lie to me! Zhang Xiu is not an envoy—"

"Smack!"

Madame Ding covered her face and lay on the ground, letting out a low, desperate cry like a wounded she-animal.

And her husband looked at her condescendingly.

The expression on his face was restrained, like a husband who disdained to entangle with his hysterical wife, and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Bian, who was hiding behind her wall coat and holding her breath, didn't know if she was noticed by him.

But she inexplicably felt that even if he noticed it, there would not be a word, and one thing would change.

After all, that heart was not pulled out and looked at to see if it was as hard and cold as a golden stone.

Madame Bian sat there in a daze, until the other concubines returned from the cold, unlit back tent, and continued to gather around her to chat and sew, and she finally picked up her husband's robe.

She still had the cry of Mrs. Ding that day in her ears.

She still had her own cries in her heart.

Boss Cao's messenger came, scaring the people and so on.

It was still an old acquaintance, and he saluted with a smile when he met, and Lu Hangyu saw that the ordinary envoys were usually clumsy and couldn't say anything, but when he saw this young scribe who was quite handsome and had a very pleasant smile, he didn't need to turn his mind to entertain.

"It turned out to be Guo Fengxiao!" She exclaimed, "You're not dead yet!" ”

Guo Jia's face was not surprised at all, his smile was even brighter, "Since Jia left the general, he always remembered the general's care for his subordinates, and failed to thank the general in person, so he didn't dare to die in a hurry. ”

"Then you're here now," she said, "to thank you, aren't you?" ”

Guo Jia nodded, Lu Hangyu was overjoyed, and was about to call someone to drag him out without speaking of martial virtues, but Guo Jia waved his hand and asked the attendant holding the box behind him to take a step forward.

"I have come here today to thank my Lord."

…… She scratched her head, and wanted to say that his father-in-law was almost the same treatment.

But the box had already been held in front of her, and the messenger opened a crack, and there was a faint fragrance coming out of it, as if Cao Cao had sent a box of flowers in this icy and snowy season.

When she opened the box and took out the burqa, countless small delicate white flowers immediately bloomed in front of her.

"This flower is named Mo Li, also known as Hu Hua, it is said that it was carried by the Futu Sect when it was preached, and it was transmitted all the way from the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty," Guo Jia stood there, looking at her with a smile, "This robe is not made by others, but the mother of the son is grateful to the general for taking pity on her young son, and specially asks my lord to reserve it." ”

…… Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

…… Especially this dress is quite beautiful.

…… She hesitated, stretched her neck and looked down again.

Eccentric.

Zhang Liao and Tai Shici both turned their eyes away and didn't look at her. Sima Yi looked at her for a while, Guo Jia for a while, and Zhang Liao and Tai Shici for a while, as if the two eyeballs were not enough at all, and she could only use the strength of her neck to turn around a little to achieve a small goal, otherwise she would either add two more eyes, or she would like to fly out of the eye socket directly.

"Thank you then," she thought and changed her words, "No, thank you, lady, do you want to meet Cao Zhi?" ”

Entertain the envoy to dinner, and by the way, pull Cao Zhi out for a walk.

The baby seems to have grown a little taller, she doesn't understand what this is, obviously he doesn't seem to have any exquisite food in the army, except for the occasional two pieces of caramel candy, and occasionally he touches two eggs, or a chicken leg is still like a point.

But this kid can also endure hardships, no matter what he gives him, he doesn't pick anything, eats quickly, and at night he can rely on brushing his face to let Xiao Er and Xiao Wu secretly make him a snack.

But Guo Jia saw that he was shooting and pinching, and soon the child couldn't hold back her tears and began to cry again, she had to explain two sentences for the gift sent by her mother, "He usually eats very much!" I'm not hungry for him! ”

Guo Jia's eyes smiled crookedly, "The general is benevolent, and everyone overseas knows it." ”

…… It's still a little embarrassing.

"You see, he's fine," she said, "and you can bring him back." ”

The messenger seemed taken aback, "Didn't the general laugh? ”

"No," she said, "what am I going to do with an eight-year-old baby?" ”

Cao Zhi sat next to Guo Jia, looked at her, and then looked at Guo Jia.

"The general's conduct, Cao Gong has always been trustworthy," Guo Jia said with a smile, "The little boy is very relieved to stay with the general." ”

Tai Shici and Zhang Liao secretly glanced at each other, and both of them showed a confused look on their faces.

Sima Yi's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked Guo Jia up and down.

Cao Zhi was secretly tugging on Guo Jia's sleeve.

She looked at the messenger in confusion, "This is your own son, and your lord doesn't want it if he says he doesn't want it?" ”

Guo Jia smiled, "If he is captured by others, Cao Gong will naturally rescue Gongzi in every possible situation, but now the world is difficult, and Cao Gong's place is short of food and grass, even if he goes back, it will only put him in danger, it is better to be safe here than the general." ”

She blinked, blinked, and felt as if her brain was spinning much slower, and she needed to try to find the problem in Guo Jia's words.

It doesn't sound like a problem, it's safer to stay with her than to go back to Cao Cao.

…… But something is wrong, there is a big problem!

As soon as she thought of it, Sima Yi spoke.

"Mr. Fengxiao said and laughed, and now the other army is like a poisonous gangrene, attached to my bones, so that our army is not at ease day and night, how can it be 'safe'?"

Guo Jia's smart eyes also blinked, as if he had heard something strange.

"Brother Zhong Daxian still doesn't know?"

This natural virtuous brother called Sima Yi a little unhappy, but he still responded coldly.

"I haven't tried my intentions, and I hope to give you advice."

"Duke Cao has lost Yanzhou," Guo Jia smiled easily, "If you don't follow the general, how can you make a gesture and make the Jizhou scholars pay for food?" With Cao Gong's current strength and general's prestige, how can it be like a praying mantis angry with its arm as a rut, wouldn't it be a laughing stock? ”

This sentence, which they had been pondering for a long time, was said so easily, shocking everyone from Lu Hangyu to the two generals to Sima Yi.

But Guo Jia continued to point at Cao Zhi sincerely, "General, the son is smart, if you can stay by the general's side, learn Wentao, and learn martial arts, you will definitely have something to do in the future!" ”

Everyone was still frowning and staring at him, Guo Jia had already added the last brick smoothly to build the house he had built.

"Cao Gong is relieved to hand over his son to the general, but doesn't the general believe Cao Gong?"

Just when Guo Jia set off in a chariot, against the dark and dreary clouds and biting cold wind, Cao Cao was not idle.

He stood at the gate and watched the strategist he relied on the most set off, and welcomed a new guest before the chariot had yet to completely sink into the rising snow.

This guest also came in a car, looking a little frightened, and even got out of the car from a distance, ran all the way, and wanted to bow down.

Cao Cao stopped the big gift, and even shook his hand and laughed.

"I don't see you for a day, like a three-year-old!" He laughed, "It's hard for you to remember me." ”

The guest sneaked a glance behind Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao left Yanzhou, the ranks of more than a thousand down-and-out veterans were gone.

He saw an elite army that seemed to be made of gold and stone, a murderous camp.

So the inquiry in the eyes of the guests was completely obscured by fear and respect.
