The next morning, the sun shone through the windows in the room, warm and bright.

Cao Zhang woke up in a daze dream and wanted to reach out to hug Guo Zhao, but found that he had touched a void.

Cao Zhang opened his eyes suspiciously, only to find that Guo Zhao was not in bed, which made him feel very surprised.

Cao Zhang sat up and searched the house, but found that it was quiet all around, and Guo Zhao was not in the house at all.

Cao Zhang was a little worried, and hurriedly got up and walked out, going to find Guo Zhao.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiahou Juan, Ma Yunlu and Guo Zhao walking towards him together, each holding a tray with different food in their hands.

"Brother Ziwen, good morning! I'm afraid I'll wake you up early, so I'll go out and prepare breakfast by myself. Guo Zhao was the first to speak, his eyes full of bright smiles.

Cao Zhang saw that Guo Zhao was fine, and heard that she was going to prepare breakfast for herself, and a warmth rose in his heart, he didn't realize that Guo Zhao would get up so early to cook.

However, he was not surprised by her enthusiasm and dedication, she had always been a delicate woman.

Xiahou Juan and Ma Yunlu also looked at Cao Zhang with a smile, and Xiahou Juan said with a smile: "Sister Guo has just arrived, and she is not familiar with the situation in the house, originally Sister Yunlu and I wanted to prepare breakfast for you and send it over, but I didn't expect her to come to the kitchen by herself." ”

Cao Zhang was slightly surprised when he heard Xiahou Juan's words, Xiahou Juan and Ma Yunlu prepared breakfast for themselves, he was not surprised, but they were still very pleased that they could treat Guo Zhao like this.

He looked at the three girls and found that their faces were full of smiles, obviously they had already communicated just now, especially Ma Yunlu and Guo Zhao seemed to get along very well.

Cao Zhang couldn't help but feel grateful that the three daughters were so kind and virtuous, and he was also glad that he could have such three caring and sensible girlfriends to accompany him.

Ma Yunlu said with a smile: "We don't know what you like to eat, so we made one for each person, and you can taste it." ”

Cao Zhang greeted with a smile: "Come, let's eat together." ”

The four of them did not go back to the house, and sat down directly in front of the small stone table in the courtyard.

Cao Zhang looked at the sumptuous food on the table, and felt extremely warm and happy in his heart again. The four of them sat around and enjoyed a harmonious breakfast.

Cao Zhang felt the happy atmosphere and secretly made up his mind to treat these three confidants well.

While eating, Xiahou Juan proposed to Cao Zhang: "Brother Ziwen, after breakfast, let's go to the city together." Today's weather is fine, so it's a good time to travel. ”

"Sister Guo has been holding back for so long, and Sister Yunlu has just arrived in Xu for a long time, so you can accompany us to play around, okay?"

Cao Zhang has been busy for several days in a row, and it is rare to have a chance to be idle, and he really wants to accompany the three daughters.

Cao Zhang nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll accompany you to play in a while." ”

When the three of them heard Cao Zhang's promise, they all smiled happily.

After breakfast, the four of them rode together, and Li Jin followed from a distance with several dreadnought guards.

The sun shines on the earth, and the breeze blows, with a hint of coolness.

Cao Zhang felt the fresh air, and sped up slightly on his horse.

Guo Zhao, Xiahou Juan and Ma Yunlu have been laughing and talking, and they have obviously become good friends.

Cao Zhang rode in front, and when he saw the three girls living in harmony, his heart was full of relief, and he also joined them, chatting together, and the four of them laughed all the way to the outside of Xudu City.

When they passed a fork in the road, a sedan chair happened to pass by at another intersection, and when they saw that it was Cao Zhang, they hurriedly stopped and gave way.

Cao Zhang and the others didn't care, and continued to walk forward with laughter.

None of them noticed that the curtain of the sedan chair opened a small slit, and a pair of eyes were staring at Cao Zhang and Guo Zhao on the horses through the gap.

The person sitting in the sedan chair was Dong Cheng's nephew Yin Bi.

He was beaten by Dong Cheng a few days ago, and he was covered with injuries, he had just come back from knitting at Zhang Zhongjing's medical center, but he didn't expect to meet Cao Zhang and others on the street.

Yin Bi looked at Cao Zhang, Guo Zhao and the others laughing, and hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.

Yin Bi remembered that it was because of Guo Zhao himself that he was punished and beaten by Cao Zhang, and this time because Cao Zhang was beaten by Dong Cheng, all the root causes were in Guo Zhao.

Yin Bi gritted his teeth and scolded in his heart: "You two dog men and women, you have suffered two sins for Lao Tzu, if I don't take revenge on you, I swear not to be a man!" ”

The more Yin Bi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he waved his hand to signal the sedan chair man to quickly turn around and return to Dong Cheng's mansion from the other direction.

Along the way, he kept frowning and meditating, thinking about how to take revenge on Cao Zhang.

As his palanquin passed by a shop, the sound of a man and a woman arguing in the shop caught his attention.

The man is like the owner of the shop, and the woman is his wife.

The wife grabbed the boss's ears and kept scolding: "You are so bold, you dare to stare at the woman on the road!" What's the matter, you still want to marry another concubine back, don't you?! ”

"I don't dare, ma'am, I don't have the heart to do this......" The boss begged for mercy.

"If you have this thought, you have to hold it for me! Tell you, if it weren't for my father, you would still be a little guy now, I recruited you as a son-in-law, and you would have a good life now, if you dare to look blind, I will pick out your eyeballs! But the woman continued to scold.

The shopkeeper could only plead with kind words before the woman let go of her hand, but she still chattered about him.

Yin Bi listened to the quarrel between the husband and wife, but seemed to be suddenly inspired, his eyes lit up, and a solution appeared in his mind.

"Quick, go home!" Yin Bi urged the sedan chair man loudly.

The sedan chair man was afraid that Yin Bi would get angry and punish them, so he quickened his pace and ran forward.

The sedan chair jolted violently, Yin Bi was swayed up and down, and the places where he was beaten were constantly collided, so painful that he kept grinning, but he still refused to slow down, and still kept urging the sedan chair driver to hurry up.

The sedan chair came to the door of Dong Cheng's mansion and stopped, Yin Bi didn't wait for the sedan chair man to stop the sedan chair, so he got out of the sedan chair directly and ran towards the mansion.

Dong Cheng was sulking alone in the study at this time, and this time he handed over 50 million money, which made him very angry, and all the wealth he had accumulated in the past two years was handed over a lot, and he was taught a lesson by Cao Zhang, which made him feel unspeakably aggrieved.

"Uncle, uncle!" Yin Bi screamed loudly and broke into the study.

"What trouble are you causing outside, you haven't suffered enough beatings a few days ago, and your injuries are healed, aren't you?" When Dong Cheng saw Yin Bi, he was angry and scolded him loudly.

Yin Bi hurriedly explained: "Uncle, I didn't cause trouble, I thought of a way to take revenge on Cao Zhang and make you angry!" ”

After listening to Yin Bi's words, Dong Cheng was furious, and directly got up and gave him a big fight: "If it weren't for you, a little brute, who offended Cao Zhang by causing trouble outside, how could we have suffered such a catastrophe and caused me heavy losses?" You still dare to offend Cao Zhang, do you think you die slowly?! ”

Yin Bi was beaten, covered his face aggrievedly and explained: "Uncle, I swear, I will never offend Cao Zhang with this idea, and on the surface, it is to please them and give them benefits, but it can also achieve the purpose of revenge!" ”

Dong Cheng listened to Yin Bi's words and showed a puzzled look: "There is still such a plan? ”

Yin Bi nodded vigorously: "That's right." My idea is to ask my uncle to meet the Son of Heaven, ask the Son of Heaven to marry Cao Zhang, marry the princess Wannian to him, and recruit him as a concubine! ”

Dong Cheng frowned after hearing this: "I knew that you would only have a bad idea and let the Son of Heaven give him a marriage, and he suddenly became a relative of the emperor, what kind of revenge is this?!" ”

"Uncle, don't worry, you listen to me! Cao Zhang is a concubine, and it seems that he has been promoted, but in fact, this official position does not have any real power. But in terms of etiquette, although he and the princess are husband and wife, they are still monarchs! ”

"Moreover, once he becomes a concubine, he will definitely not be able to take concubines, but can only abide by the way of kings and ministers, and then he will never be with his other women again. He and the princess were husband and wife every day at night, and they had to be respectful and perform all kinds of great gifts at all times during the day. Isn't that a pain in the way of pain for him? Yin Bi explained his idea to Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng listened to Yin Bi's words, frowned slightly, and vaguely felt that what he said seemed to have some truth.

Yin Bi saw that Dong Cheng was moved, and hurriedly continued to agitate: "Moreover, this pain is not only for Cao Zhang, Cao Cao can't run away!" Although he is the princess's father-in-law, he is a minister, and he must always salute when he sees the princess in the future, which is also a kind of torture for Cao Cao. ”

"And the most critical point, uncle, aren't you always worried that Cao Cao's family will be the dominant one, and he will become the second Dong Zhuo in the future, disrespecting the Son of Heaven and usurping power and bullying the master? If Cao Zhang becomes the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, the interests of their Cao family will be tied to the Han family, and you and Cao Cao will become relatives of the emperor, and he must also safeguard the interests of the Han family. In this way, does he still have the heart to usurp? ”

"As long as Cao Cao does not usurp power, uncle, your uncle's position can always sit, then there is still a chance to collect money, what is 50 million yuan, you can earn it back slowly!" Yin Bi continued to persuade Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng pondered for a moment, and was moved by Yin Bi's words: "In this way, there is indeed some truth. I just don't know if the Son of Heaven can agree. ”

"The Son of Heaven and his cousin are very affectionate now, it is the time when it is like glue, as long as my uncle pulls his cousin to say it, he will definitely succeed!" Yin Bi continued to agitate Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng finally made a decision: "Okay, without further ado, then I will enter the palace to face the saint now, and strive to let the Son of Heaven give marriage!" ”
