Cao's family banquet.
The family is sitting around a long table on both sides. The table is filled with hot and cold dishes, including several dishes that Mrs. Ding asked the kitchen to rush to prepare after learning that there were more people to eat.
As a new member of the family, Diao Chan behaves and behaves just like a shy little daughter-in-law.
He knelt down next to Cao Ang and ate next to him. He basically lowered his head and ate in silence the whole time, even only daring to pick up a few dishes placed in front of him.
Unless Mrs. Ding took the initiative to speak to her, she would raise her head and respond with a shy smile.
Such performance fell in Mrs. Ding's eyes.
She couldn't help but nod secretly, her initial impression of Diao Chan was quite satisfactory.
Of course, as a mother who doted on her son very much, she liked what Cao Ang liked, and she didn't like what Cao Ang didn't like.
Therefore, I naturally have a certain fondness for Diao Chan.
In addition, Diao Chansheng's appearance is outstanding and pleasing to the eye. Even if Mrs. Ding is a woman, she cannot block the bonus points brought by this appearance.
Now looking at her behavior at the dinner table, it seems that she is not a flamboyant person. She behaves cautiously and is quite restrained.
This kind of character is enough to ensure that Diao Chan can take care of things at home well and take good care of Cao Ang before Cao Ang marries his wife.
In every aspect, Mrs. Ding is quite satisfied.
Thinking of this, Ding couldn't help but tilted her head and turned her gaze to Cao Ang, who was picking vegetables for Diao Chan.
This silly boy would really make a big show for his mother. During the day, he said he would help him find a marriage, but he went out and brought a beauty back in the evening.
When Cao Cao first returned home and told her, Mrs. Ding didn't believe it. She thought her husband was joking. How could his son be so efficient?
It wasn't until she saw Cao Ang leading Diao Chan through the door that Mrs. Ding was dumbfounded, and she really transformed into a living person.
Mrs. Ding felt that Cao Ang was a bit reckless anyway. Fortunately, the girl was good in all aspects, which made her quite satisfied.
If he really came back after a bad recovery, wouldn't it make the family uneasy?
By the way, there are some things I need to remind you later.
Soon, the dinner was over.
After eating and drinking, Cao Ang originally wanted to take Diao Chan to get familiar with the room and get to know the place.
However, Mrs. Ding persuaded her to stay, and then arranged for two women to leave first with Diao Chan.
After Diao Chan left, there were only a family of three left in the house, and Mrs. Ding said slightly seriously.
"My mother just said this in the morning. Ang'er, you spent a few hours bringing this girl to me. If it weren't for this girl's extraordinary appearance and seeing that you really like her, my mother would really think that you are You brought it with your father to deal with me."
"The concubine you took in has agreed, but she has something to keep an eye on you. You must remember it."
Seeing the serious look on his mother's face, Cao Ang couldn't help but sit up straight and respectfully listen to the holy music.
"A concubine is a concubine, and it can never replace the head wife."
"As the legitimate son of our Cao family, the wife you choose must be a good match. This girl Diao Chan's status is still a bit low, so she can only be a concubine."
"No matter how much you like her, you still have to pay attention to this aspect. The position of the head wife is vacant now, so it doesn't matter."
"After you marry a wife in the future, you must not spoil your concubine or destroy your wife, otherwise my mother will definitely not agree!"
Mrs. Ding fully fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, took vaccinations in advance, and explained the issue of wives and concubines clearly.
Cao Ang certainly had no objection to this.
Even if his mother didn't tell him, he would do it.
After all, Cao Ang is a philanthropic person who loves all the beauties he likes equally. It is impossible to say that one person overpowers everyone else. That kind of situation will not happen here with Cao Ang.
Absolute fairness cannot be achieved. After all, people's hearts are full of flesh. There must be more or less liking for others, but the difference between them is not enough to subvert.
Therefore, these words only passed through his mind for a moment, and Cao Ang nodded solemnly without hesitation.
"Children, remember your mother's teachings!"
Mrs. Ding smiled with satisfaction.
"Just remember it. Mom won't waste your wonderful time. Go and accompany the girl earlier. Don't leave her out in the cold on the first day you enter our house."
After that, he turned and left the room.
In an instant, only the father and son were left, staring at each other.
The quiet but awkward atmosphere lasted for about half a minute before Cao Ang took the initiative to break the silence.
"Dad, don't you have anything to tell me?"
"Ahem!"
Cao Cao coughed twice, then scratched his head.
"Originally, I wanted to warn you, so that you should pay attention to controlling yourself and distinguish the connection between your concubine and the family behind her. You can't really let that old fox Wang Yun's plan succeed."
"But after thinking about it, I still feel that it is not necessary. My son is talented, decisive and resolute. You can see this kind of thing clearly even if you don't tell me, so there is no need for me to talk too much."
Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh.
Of course he understood what Cao Cao meant, but he was just worried that he might really be fascinated by Diao Chan, and then fall deeply into it, and then fall into Wang Situ's conspiracy.
But it's still the same sentence.
He is a philanthropic man.
…………
After chatting with his father for a few more words, Cao Cao wisely found an excuse to escape first. He couldn't disturb his son's good time.
After his parents left, Cao Ang stretched, stood up and walked towards his courtyard.
As a well-known family in the world, the Cao family's financial resources are not overwhelming, and they are even richer than ordinary big families.
So when Cao Cao received the appointment and arrived in Luoyang, he boldly bought a large house with five front and back rooms, two wings on the left and right, and some miscellaneous courtyards and auxiliary courtyards.
The entire house covers a large area, but there are only a family of three living here, so the last two entrances all belong to Cao Ang, including a lotus pond with beautiful scenery.
It was the end of August, and the lotus flowers were still in full bloom. A lotus pond like the one in the house was taken care of by dedicated servants, and the scenery was even more unique.
The lotus leaves are connected to the sky and the lotus flowers reflect the sun.
Of course, it is night now and the sun is gone, but following the moonlight, there is something special about it.
When Cao Ang found Diao Chan, she was sitting on several stone piers arranged by the pond, leisurely admiring the moonlit lotus pond.
His feet crossed the edge of the pool and swayed. Although he was wearing shoes and socks, Cao Ang could still imagine the playful movement of his toes as his feet swayed lightly.
"How is the scenery here better than that of Situ Mansion?"
Suddenly hearing Cao Ang's voice, Diao Chan stood up quickly.
"Master!"
First he saluted Cao Ang, then smiled softly and said in a sweet tone.
"The various decorations in Situ Mansion tend to be solemn and solemn. There are many rocks in the mansion, but there are no landscapes like the lotus pond."
"Besides, I always stay in my own courtyard and rarely move around. I almost never pay attention to this."
"So it's the first time I see such a beautiful lotus pond. I feel very beautiful. Especially in the summer evening, with the gentle breeze, I feel relaxed and happy."
Cao Ang smiled, held Diao Chan's shoulders so that she still sat in the original position, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to gently scratch the tip of Diao Chan's nose, and said in a gentle tone.
"As long as you like it!"
Such an intimate gesture immediately made Diao Chan's pretty face turn red as if on fire, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Cao Ang.
Cao Ang found it even more interesting and found a stone pillar next to her to sit down.
After teasing a few more words, Cao Ang remembered his purpose and slightly turned Diao Chan's body towards him.
Then he asked gently and yet seriously.
"Chan'er, I have a question. Please answer me honestly. Without a betrothal gift or any other etiquette, you were picked up directly by me. Do you feel a little aggrieved?"
