Northeast of Puyang City.
There is a tributary that branches off from the Yellow River and flows to Onozawa. The water flow is not very fast, but the river surface is quite wide and it is a medium-sized river.
And now it's on the south bank of the river.
Cao Ang was sitting cross-legged on a stone, with a carefully crafted fishing rod inserted in front of him, and the fishing line dropped straight into the river in front of him.
And nestled next to him.
Dong Bai, who also has a fishing rod of his own, is imitating Cao Ang and assuming a fishing posture by the water.
And far behind the two of them.
Dozens of personal guards were standing guard all around while feeding the accompanying horses.
"Husband, you said you would take me to the river to fish today. I thought it would be a little cold near the water, but I didn't expect it to be a bit more comfortable than in the city."
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have worn this jacket. After a few tosses, it actually made me feel a little hot."
On the outside is a fluffy dark black jacket, and on the inside is a dark coat that is slightly tightly tied to facilitate movement, and there are even some clothes added to it.
Such a dress.
Even in early winter like this.
It will indeed be a little hot.
But as long as you don't do strenuous activities, there's no problem. For example, sitting on the bank of the river fishing is very suitable for this kind of attire.
Cao Ang specially took out a day today to accompany the eldest lady to the river for fishing.
Mainly because Dong Bai had completely recovered from his previous serious illness and returned to his previous fresh, lively, cheerful and happy state.
To celebrate this.
Cao Ang simply took Dong Bai to the countryside for a day of fun. The first activity was fishing.
Speaking of serious fishing, that’s definitely not it.
Mostly entertainment in nature.
And now listening to Dong Bai's muttering.
Cao Ang smiled and smoothed the hair around Xiaobai's ears with his hand, and then spoke warmly.
"In winter, the riverside is warmer than in the city. This is because the specific heat capacity of the water is large. The temperature drop of the river water caused by climate change will be slightly lower."
Cao Ang explained seriously.
The eldest lady was stunned on the spot.
Um? ? ?
What the hell is specific heat capacity?
But she was also used to it. Her husband would always say some weird things.
If you don’t understand, just ignore it.
…
After Yan laughed for a while.
Cao Ang saw that there was no movement from the two fishing rods, and there was no intention of the fish taking the bait.
Simply ignore it.
Instead, he held Dong Bai in one hand and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Xiao Bai, have you read the letter home from Chang'an City that I gave you yesterday? What did our grandfather say in the letter? ?”
Hearing the title "our grandfather", Dong Bai couldn't help but chuckle.
But when I think of the letter from home that Cao Ang mentioned.
The smile on Dong Bai's face quickly faded and was replaced by a few traces of sadness.
"Grandpa scolded me, saying that I didn't say a word, so he ran away with you without saying a word. He only wanted to have his lover, not his grandfather and parents."
"After the scolding, my grandfather said that he is now very old and has guarded Xiliang Bianchui for many years. He has participated in countless battles, large and small. He has many hidden wounds on his body. He has lived for who knows how many years."
"He hoped that I could go back and visit him during his lifetime, which would be regarded as the love between grandparents and grandchildren."
Listen to Dong Bai's narration.
A wave suddenly flashed across Cao Ang's watery eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, showing an intriguing expression.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
Must be on guard at all times.
Otherwise, if he is not careful, even the letters he writes home to his granddaughter will contain some traps.
First, he reprimanded him with cold and stern words, and then played the emotional card, thereby softening Dong Bai's attitude and achieving the purpose of making him influence him.
"I can go back and see him in my lifetime." Doesn't the meaning of this sentence mean that he hopes to urge himself to complete the task of defeating the alliance of various forces in Guandong as soon as possible and gain the greatest opportunity for him, Dong Zhuo?
laugh!
It’s true that you don’t have many years to live.
But it's definitely not because of old age or the hidden wounds left by years of fighting, but because you, an old boy, have adopted a good adopted son.
…
certainly.
The verbal trap in this.
There is no need to elaborate with the eldest lady.
Cao Ang just slid the hand on his shoulder down slightly, crossed his arm, and clasped it directly on his soft and smooth waist.
The left hand passed through Dong Bai's leg.
Use a little more force.
Xiaobai sat directly on his lap.
Perhaps it was rare for him and Cao Ang to go out alone to play, so Dong Bai was dressed up today.
Everything between the eyebrows and eyes is carefully carved.
Her big, moist and exquisite eyes seemed to have emotions flowing in their sockets. They were covered with long eyelashes like water mist, a small and delicate nose, and full lips that were heavily stained with a layer of vermilion rouge.
Delicate pearly white skin, which is as bright as frost and snow, under the bright sky, reflects the slender neck with a light fluorescent color, and the delicate collarbone that is slightly sunken.
It can be said to be perfect.
Then Cao Ang placed his left hand on Dong Bai's calf, caressing it down rather casually.
It soon came to light that the eldest lady had deliberately taken off her shoes and socks when she sat on the stone surface, and now her bare feet were exposed there.
There are insteps as tender and smooth as white cakes. Looking from the side, the soles of the feet are slightly pink due to the abundance of blood, as well as the distinct wild white toes that are moving lively.
Tsk!
It's a pity that I couldn't get something like black stockings or white stockings, otherwise wouldn't it be a good pair of ice cream if I gave the eldest lady a pair of white ones?
…
I admired it carefully for a while.
Cao Ang put the thoughts away from his mind.
Then he comforted Dong Bai and said, "You abandoned your grandfather and came to Yanzhou with me. This was not an act of unfilial piety, but rather an act of great righteousness out of consideration for the common good of the world."
"Besides, I can promise you that one day, I will take you to Chang'an and let's go visit your grandfather together!"
Every word Cao Ang promised was true.
But it is unclear whether the meaning expressed by the combination is the same as what Dong Bai understood.
The eldest lady was carried across Cao Ang's lap and experienced such comfort.
There was a little sadness on his face before.
It actually disappeared without a trace in an instant.
But just when she was lost in thought, she heard Cao Ang's questioning again.
"Besides these, what else did our grandfather write in the letter?"
I don’t know what I thought of.
Cao Ang just finished speaking.
Dong Bai's chubby little face.
With a "tang", two groups of blood-like blush appeared, and the earlobes and neck were gradually dyed with the color of sunset.
"Grandpa...Grandpa, he told me to work harder to give you a son as soon as possible, so that I can continue the Cao family's lineage..."
I finished the whole sentence while holding back my shame.
Dong Bai suddenly couldn't hold himself tight.
He buried his face directly into Cao Ang's chest and didn't lift it up for a long time, not daring to face his husband directly.
…
Dong Bai's words were full of shame.
Cao Ang was stunned for a moment.
Then a burst of laughter broke out.
His whole face was filled with joy, and his right hand gently stroked Dong Bai's back.
"On this point, I agree with our grandfather. We both really have to work hard. After I go back tonight, I will work harder and put in more effort!"
That's what I said.
Dong Bai couldn't help but use his pink fist to lightly beat Cao Ang's chest and abdomen.
"You... just work hard on your own, it's none of my business!"
Hear this.
Cao Ang held Dong Bai's head in his hands, made him look into his eyes, and then said with a chuckle.
"That's not possible. I'm tired of working alone. I need your cooperation, madam!"
"嘤~"
The eldest lady made a greasy squeaking sound from her nasal cavity, which was quite heart-wrenching.
…………
It's night, in the west wing of the front yard of the prefect's mansion.
Cao Ang was carrying his own fish bucket with a look of disbelief on his face.
He couldn't believe it.
He, who has never been in the air force and is a master of fishing, didn't catch a single hair by the river today.
There were quite a few small fish that were as long as a finger, but they were all released into the river by Cao Ang. Otherwise, if they were placed in a fish bucket, it would be even more mocking at this moment.
If that's all it is.
At worst, he was shameless and said that there were no fish in the river, it was not because of his lack of skills.
But the key thing is to fear comparison.
In Dong Bai's fish bucket, there were several large carps weighing several kilograms. They were swimming alive in the current, and their behavior was incomprehensible.
Why are there such big differences in the same river section, or even in adjacent locations?
Is it true, as those seniors said, that there is a novice protection period for things like fishing? The more it is the first time someone plays, the more rewarding the harvest will be?
In short, he lost the competition with Dong Bai.
The loser will naturally not get the reward.
At this moment, he looked at the eldest lady who was sitting next to him, her whole body was laughing and her big eyes were narrowed into a slit in amusement.
Cao Ang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. Let's be honest tonight and just follow the tradition."
…
Late at night.
The entire prefect's mansion was silent.
Especially in the courtyard of the west wing, several hanging lanterns have been blown out.
Only in the house where Dong Bai was located, a cat meowed from time to time, which matched with the howling evening breeze in early winter.
But after a burst of intense movement.
Suddenly a woman's scream came from inside the house.
"ah!"
"Husband, put me down quickly, I won't be able to hang on anymore!"
And as Dong Bai's voice fell.
Soon I heard Cao Ang respond.
"Hurry up and put your arms around my neck, and then use your legs to clamp my waist so that you can't fall!"
Following Cao Ang's instructions.
After the "rustling" noise, Dong Bai never screamed again.
But then I heard her rather embarrassed voice, full of embarrassment and scolding.
"Husband, you didn't keep your word. You promised to accept defeat and continue to follow tradition!"
"Bo!"
After a muffled sound.
Cao Ang just gave the answer.
"It's really Xiaobai, you are so small, I can't help but want to experience the feeling of hanging you on my body, like a koala."
But after this response.
Dong Bai stopped talking.
There was only a sound of "shashasha" breathing in the house, and the sound of footsteps walking around from time to time, which was quite puzzling.
