That night.
A dinner party was held in Cao Mansion.
The purpose is to give Cao Ang, the eldest son's direct grandson, a clean slate, and at the same time have a good time as a family.
In the hall.
Cao Song sat in the chief seat.
The other core members of the Cao family were seated on the left and right sides.
As for Cao Ang.
He should also be sitting below, but since he is the protagonist of today's banquet, and the old man really dotes on his grandson very much.
Therefore, she ignored him and arranged his seat next to her, changed the short table to a long table, and the two of them ate on the same table.
This is definitely a super high treatment.
The uncles and uncles in each room looked at him with jealousy and envy.
After all, in the Cao family, Mr. Cao is the only elder, and his words are golden rules.
As long as you can please the old man and be favored by him, you will definitely not be short of money.
As the maids in the house brought out the dishes one after another, and at the same time placed wine and wine warmers on each table, the whole scene suddenly became lively.
During the banquet, elders kept toasting to Cao Ang, and he did not refuse anyone who came.
After three drinks.
Cao Ang became familiar with these relatives.
Afterwards, the atmosphere of the family dinner became more and more lively.
But in the midst of such a banquet.
Cao Ang's attention was attracted by a woman on the right, at the bottom.
Wearing a long skirt, she looked pretty and looked really good. Of course, Cao Ang didn't take it to heart.
Because according to my grandfather's introduction just now, this woman was the last concubine his father Cao Cao took before leaving his hometown.
Mr. Bian!
Regarding his father's concubine, Cao Ang naturally felt that it was a waste of time and had nothing to do with him even if he took a second look at it. After all, he was not that perverted.
But this woman is unusual!
After Cao Ang died in the Battle of Wancheng, Mrs. Ding and Cao Cao broke up, and Bian was helped to become the first wife by virtue of her huge advantage of being able to give birth to children.
Her status rose along with Cao Cao, and finally after her son Cao Pi ascended the throne, she was named Queen Wu Xuan Bian.
Of course, this woman does not have the status she will have in the future. She is just an ordinary concubine, a concubine who comes from a family of singers and dancers.
Even among Cao Cao's several concubines, her status was considered low, so she could only sit at the end of the family banquet at this moment. She was even allowed to attend the banquet because she had a son in her arms.
And she will no longer have the opportunity to become Cao Cao's first wife, and then become some kind of queen.
Because Cao Ang's fate has changed.
As long as Cao Ang lives strong, no one can shake his status, and the fate of his mother, Mrs. Ding, and a series of related people will also change accordingly.
…
After a brief look.
Cao Ang stopped paying attention to this woman.
Instead, he focused on the child in his arms.
He looks about two years old.
The physique is slightly stronger than Mrs. Yin's son, her newly adopted son He Yan.
He has a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain, and looks quite cute.
A pair of eyes were wide open, and when his head occasionally moved to the side, his eyeballs would spin, as if he was looking at the world.
As Mr. Bian in his arms started to pick up vegetables or drink the tea on the table, the children would dance and catch their hands in the air, and they would giggle from time to time, making them very lively.
This boy must be Bian's son, his half-brother Cao Pi.
It's only a little bigger now.
I have to say that this kid is really lucky, and he can't stop his luck no matter what.
The eldest brother who has always been weighing on his head, making him always be a bastard, and it will never be his turn to inherit the family business in his lifetime, is gone.
Then his status rose with his mother.
Then he killed his younger brother Cao Zhi.
Eventually he became the heir to the Cao Wei Group, and after Cao Cao's death, he became the founding king of the Wei Dynasty.
He became an identity that neither his father nor his brothers had, leaving an indelible mark in the history books.
Is this guy cheating? !
Of course, it doesn't matter how big the hang-up is.
Now that you meet your brother and me, you can only act like a younger brother.
In the future, if anyone dares to have the slightest idea of jumping, he will have no choice but to be severely punished.
Of course, as long as you are obedient, I, as the eldest brother, will still be very loving. At the very least, you can be a rich and noble son, with good clothes and good food, and you don't have to worry about causing trouble to Xiao Qiang, and you will be treated well in this life.
…
After the banquet is over.
Cao Song kept all the heads of each house, and he needed to arrange the tasks for the next few days one by one. After all, it would take some effort for such a large family to evacuate completely.
At the very least, which properties will be sold and which properties will be retained, who will leave and who will keep the house, and who will be responsible for purchasing grain, all need to be discussed.
Naturally, Cao Ang did not need to attend such a meeting.
After talking to Cao Song.
Then he left the hall where the banquet was held.
On the way to his resting courtyard, at the corridor connecting the two courtyards, Cao Ang saw at a glance the Bian family who had been observing the banquet for a long time, and his son Cao Pi, who were walking slowly behind him.
He couldn't help but stop.
He paused for a moment, waited for Mr. Bian to come to him, and bowed slightly to him.
"Auntie!"
Although the Bian family has little status in the family, out of respect for his father, Cao Ang, as the eldest son, naturally has to perform the courtesy of a junior.
Facing Cao Ang's salute.
Bian didn't dare to take it big.
He hurriedly hugged Cao Pi with one hand and returned the same salute with the other hand.
Just after the etiquette was over, Mr. Bian didn't know what to talk about.
Cao Ang looked at the baby in her arms.
Suddenly he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Pi Di would be two years old in such a short time. I am going to Dingtao County to see my father this time. I am afraid that the old man will also be very happy about it."
While speaking, Cao Ang also acted very naturally, making a gesture of taking over with both hands.
It looked like he wanted to give the kid a hug.
Bian hesitated for a second.
He quickly reacted, handed Cao Pi in his arms to Cao Ang, and said with a smile.
"Yes, the master and his wife are not around. I am just a simple girl, and I am worried that I will not be able to take care of the children. Fortunately, I can go with you this time, and I can finally feel at ease."
Cao Ang nodded and said nothing.
He just looked at the child held in his left hand.
It can be said that Cao Pi was quite courageous. He was not afraid of strangers. Even after leaving his mother's arms, he did not cry or fuss, but just stared at Cao Ang curiously.
After Cao Ang showed a slight smile.
They all laughed together, and at the same time, his right hand gently scratched Cao Ang's arm, which seemed to be quite novel and interesting.
Yes, this kid has a future!
He actually knows who will be his biggest supporter in the future, and he has had such a correct attitude since he was a child.
After teasing a few times.
Cao Ang returned Cao Pi to Bian.
…
After looking up and down this woman who had a calm and virtuous air, and could vaguely see that she was cautious, she said something calmly.
"I heard that there was a vision in the sky when Pi Di was born. It seemed like there was a blue canopy-like cloud covering the roof, like auspicious clouds that never dispersed for a long time. I wonder if this is true?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Bian felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave on the spot.
He hurriedly bowed down and said, "This is absolutely not the case!"
"I don't know who in the house is talking nonsense and saying things that are not true. Pi'er is my child. I went through all the hardships to give birth to him. Everyone could see the scene clearly."
"There has never been any blue cloud!"
Bian denied it and hurriedly explained.
How dare she admit what Cao Ang said.
What kind of vision comes from heaven, if it happens to a concubine, what will the legitimate son think?
Anyone would be suspicious.
So don't say that there really isn't. Even if there is, you can't say it at this moment.
Otherwise, life would be difficult for their mother and son.
And saw Mr. Bian looking so panicked.
Cao Ang replied and smiled softly.
"Auntie, there is no need to panic, just now you are joking!"
"It's getting late. My aunt should rest early. She will be leaving soon. She should also be more energetic."
After that, he turned and left.
Of course Cao Ang knew that there was no blue cloud. The records in the history books were simply made up by people at that time in order to cover Cao Pi, who had already proclaimed himself emperor, with a sacred cloak.
The reason why he said this.
It was all just to give Bian a beating.
It's just a vaccination, it doesn't mean anything else.
And after Cao Ang turned around and left.
Bian's face, who stayed where he was, was a little uncertain, and his mind was in a mess.
After a long time.
She just sighed.
Hug Cao Pi tightly and walk to his residence.
…………
Seven days later.
Outside the Cao family's house.
Cao Ang watched with a relaxed smile on his face as he watched boxes of things being loaded into the car, and as the convoy drove out of the city.
Finally we can go!
After staying here for so many days, he was really tired of living here. Life here was too boring, with no entertainment activities and lack of human interaction.
younger brothers and sisters, plus grandfather, and Dian Wei.
There were only a few people chatting in total.
Or just wandering around, but Qiao County is not a big county. After Cao Ang wandered around for these days, he had already had a clear understanding of the city and outside.
But even if he was bored, he couldn't rush it. After all, his grandfather and the others were busy with business, raising food and grass and collecting funds, which did take some time.
Fortunately, everything is over now.
It’s time to set off for Dingtao County.
It won't be long before I can return home and hug the cute Diao Chan, pinch the moist and plump Queen Mother, and the shy and timid Yin Shi.
Just thinking about it makes me excited!
When Cao Ang was daydreaming.
"Ang'er, let's go too!"
Cao Song on the side said hello, Cao Ang nodded, and then gave an order, and the large army immediately started moving.
The entire convoy headed out of the city.
Cao Ang and Dian Wei were each on horseback, while the female family members and old comrades like Cao Song were in carriages.
After leaving the city gate.
The team marched slowly north.
…
According to Cao Ang's plan.
He originally planned to arrive at Cao's house first, and after convincing his grandfather, he would then take a trip to Chen State on his way back to take care of Chen Wang Liu Chong.
After all, it was based on Xun Yu’s information.
King Chen Liu Chong has well-equipped soldiers, considerable strength, and strong personal martial virtue. Whether you make him an ally or seek some benefits from him, it is a profitable business.
It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes.
Since we have to return with such a large family, it would not be appropriate to take a detour to the west of Chen State.
Since the journey was long, a large number of the people accompanying us on the return trip were already old people, women and children. Going straight to Dingtao County was torture enough, not to mention having to take a long detour, which might lead to some deaths.
Secondly, the convoy carries a lot of things, and most of them are large and valuable items such as money, food and grass. The traveling speed can be said to be quite slow.
The composition of the personnel is not comparable to the elite troops that Cao Cao and his son had when they left Luoyang, let alone two cavalrymen like Cao Ang and Dian Wei.
If we still have to go west and then go back in a big circle, it may be that the New Year has already passed by the time we arrive in Dingtao County.
As soon as the New Year was over, many major events were about to happen, and Cao Ang didn't want to miss one or two of them just because he arrived late.
As for the team splitting up.
Cao Ang and Dian Wei went to Chen State alone, leaving the large group of Cao family members to go straight to Dingtao County.
He considered it but decided against it.
The road is really not smooth.
What he is transporting is money and food, and if he shows a little bit, he will be targeted. What's more, there are many people who gather on the road to become bandits these days. As long as it is in the wilderness, there is a possibility of encountering bandits and bandits.
And considering the fighting power of the large group of Cao family, Cao Ang really couldn't trust them.
Don't forget that the start-up capital that you spent a long time persuading the old man to get started was robbed by thieves. That would be really ridiculous.
At that time, being robbed of money will be a trivial matter. If the Cao family members are killed by gangsters, then Cao Ang's face will be completely lost.
Therefore, instead of taking risks, it is better to be safe. In the worst case, after the people are delivered, he will take time to make a special trip to Chen State.
…
"Bang!"
A slightly rugged mountain road.
Suddenly there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the birds that were originally hidden in the forest suddenly fled in shock.
"You don't have four ounces of meat on your body, but you still dare to imitate others and come out to rob you. What a bullshit hero. I will teach you how to write the word "伱" today!"
After saying that, he punched the ground hard again.
The man who had already been knocked to the ground suddenly twitched, his head seemed to be dented, and blood kept gushing out from his mouth and nose.
It only takes a dozen breaths.
This person has lost all vital signs.
He spat on the ground with disdain.
Then he kicked away the body that had begun to lose its body temperature.
Dian Wei glanced around at the bandits who had all thrown away their weapons and were kneeling obediently, and let out a dull cold snort, which immediately made these bandits who had already been frightened out of their wits tremble again.
See this situation.
Dian Wei then turned around and came to Cao Ang's side.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone in the Cao family, Dian Wei cupped his hands and bowed respectfully.
"Reporting to the general, the chief culprit has been killed. Please give your order on how to deal with the remaining people!"
Said to be the chief culprit.
In fact, Dian Wei had already killed no less than ten big men with his bare hands, and the ground was already covered with corpses.
Otherwise, how could the bandits be so frightened that they almost peed their pants?
