From Huang County, Donglai County to Changyi County, Yanzhou.
Although they are located in two neighboring states.
But one is at the end of Qingzhou, in the corner of the Shandong Peninsula, and the other is in the hinterland of Yanzhou, with an unknown number of counties in between.
The straight-line distance between the two places is more than a thousand miles, which can be said to be a long way to the end of the world.
Not to mention that Cao Ang had to march through various cities for supplies along the way, and he needed to take some official roads and avoid rugged mountain roads.
With such twists and turns, the distance that needs to be traveled is even longer, far more than a thousand miles.
However, under Cao Ang's order, the large troops led by Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan and others had already set off ahead of him and left many days in advance.
Cao Ang currently only has some cavalry left with him.
Therefore, the marching speed can be improved a lot. If there are no stops along the way, we should be able to reach the final destination in about half a month.
certainly.
There is one factor that needs to be eliminated.
That was a carriage mixed in the queue. It was an extremely spacious carriage with extremely luxurious exterior decoration. At first glance, it looked like a carriage driven by a wealthy family.
We are now in a flat wooded area.
Cao Angzheng ordered the whole army to take a short rest, reorganize here, and eat before setting off.
And just when he was about to find a big tree, sit on the ground, lean against it and rest for a while.
After the carriage stopped not far away, the curtains of the carriage were immediately opened, and a bright girl dressed in luxurious clothes and covered with gold and jade came happily towards Cao Ang with a light step, served by several maids.
It is Mi Zhu's sister Mi Zhen.
…………
At this moment, Cao Ang looked at the girl coming towards him, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of wonder in his eyes.
Let’s talk about Mi Zhen’s appearance.
That's absolutely impeccable.
Although I dare not say that she is as beautiful as Diao Chan, or as enchanting as the Queen Mother.
But she is definitely a beautiful woman in the world.
The waist is slender, the legs are slender, the figure is well-proportioned and undulating, the skin is white and delicate, smooth and soft, and is no less smooth than the Pearl of the East China Sea.
His eyes were filled with spring water, and as his eyes moved, the tenderness and sweetness seemed to turn into reality, rushing towards Cao Ang like a silent wave.
A delicate nose, small and exquisite ears, and even red lips as moist as cherries.
All of them show the rich daughter's home on the seaside, the beautiful bell full of water aura.
But compared to these.
What really amazed Cao Ang was Mi Zhen's clothing, food and clothing expenses, and even the aura of wealth and nobility exuded in every move she made.
A thickened silk and satin palace dress is embroidered with cloud brocade patterns using solid gold threads. It can be said to be priceless and expensive.
The jade belt tied around the waist is actually decorated with several jade pieces, all of which are top-notch beautiful jade in appearance, color and luster.
Outside the long skirt, there is a bright yellow blouse woven with gold yarn, which is partly used to keep out the cold and partly used to match clothes.
The long black hair was studded with all kinds of gold and jade hairpins. Even if Cao Ang didn't do any research on it, he could tell at a glance that it was something extraordinary.
Come to think of it, just take out any one of them. It is expensive and something that ordinary people can't even strive for throughout their lives.
…………
Such is the wealth.
It's just Mi Zhen's ordinary outfit.
As he left Qingzhou this time, no one knew how many similar ceremonial attires were on Miss Mi's luxurious carriage.
In a word.
Rich people are so rich!
Even though the Cao family now owns nearly four states, Cao Ang, as the sole legal heir of the Cao family, can even be said to be one of the representatives of the entire Cao family.
I have to express this emotion.
He only has one thought now, that is, the rise of the Cao family is still too short, even though it has grown rapidly in a snowballing manner.
But sometimes things like foundation and habits really can’t be cultivated for a while.
In fact, don't talk about him.
Even if someone is as wealthy as the royal family, their food and clothing expenses are not as good as those of a wealthy family like the Mi family. After all, the entire royal family has many mouths to feed, and its expenditures are much higher than those of ordinary families. So in terms of many means to express wealth. , and naturally fell behind.
But after a brief moment of emotion.
Cao Ang quickly suppressed his thoughts again.
No matter how rich the Mi family is, they still need to rely on themselves. They use force to protect the Mi family's mountain-like wealth, while this huge business family allocates part of its property for insurance premiums.
In this case, Cao Ang would only hope that the Mi family is as rich as possible. It is best to be rich in the world, so that he can get more things from it.
…………
"General Cao, where are we now? How far are we from Changyi County?"
Just when thoughts come to mind.
A crisp, bright and lively voice interrupted Cao Ang's thoughts.
When he looked around in the blink of an eye, he saw Mi Zhen coming to Cao Ang's side. The tip of Cao Ang's nose was suddenly filled with the faint fragrance of a girl.
And at the same time Mi Zhen asked.
The maids on his left and right also moved swiftly and laid out a large piece of well-made carpet on the forest floor to make it easier for his lady to sit on the ground.
"There is a lot of water vapor in the mountains and forests. If you sit on the ground for a long time, it will inevitably get wet. General, if you don't mind, you might as well sit closer to me."
While talking.
Mi Zhen sat down on one side of the blanket, then patted it lightly a few times, and used the empty space on the other side to invite and signal to Cao Ang.
A beautiful woman has an appointment, how can she refuse?
Cao Ang was never an ambiguous person. He immediately smiled at Mi Zhen, then stood up and moved to sit on the blanket. At the same time, he held his hands and said to Miss Mi's family.
"This is located in Qingzhou Qi State, and it is also our last stop in Qingzhou. After a short rest here, we will travel thirty miles to the boundary of Yanzhou Taishan County. The journey will not be far at that time."
"A rough estimate shows that we can reach Changyi County in Yanzhou Prefecture in seven or eight days at most."
Speaking of which.
Cao Ang seemed to have remembered something again.
A trace of apology suddenly appeared on his face, and then he said with concern: "The journey is long, the boat and the carriage are tiring, and the journey is rapid, and we sleep in the open air."
"The conditions are indeed quite difficult. Miss Mi has been traveling all the way. The grievances and poor reception made me really feel bad about it!"
…………
Cao Ang just finished speaking.
Mi Zhen's delicate and delicate face suddenly showed a hint of panic.
Then he hurriedly waved to Cao Ang, while shaking his head and explaining.
"General, what are you talking about? I asked for this trip, and my brother also agreed. The general doesn't mind me being in the team and causing trouble. It's an unexpected surprise for me. He took extra care of me. I can still What extravagance do I ask for, let alone make you feel bad!"
After a hurried explanation.
Mi Zhen raised her head again.
Her eyes reflected Cao Ang's figure like spring water reflecting pear blossoms. After thinking for less than a breath, she spoke innocently and longingly.
"Since I was a child, my family's financial situation has been under the control of my elder brother. It seems to be a wealthy family. There is no need to worry about food and clothing."
"But the same kind of life means restraint. When I am at home, I am aloof, but when I go out, I need to be cautious. I don't even dare to go too far from home to prevent any safety hazards."
"So since I was little, my life has been nothing new. This rare opportunity to go to Yanzhou with the general to see the customs and customs of Yanzhou. The general is protecting me. I don't have to worry about my safety. It really makes me happy. Extremely satisfied!”
…………
Mi Zhen's words.
Cao Ang's memories were instantly brought back.
He recalled that day, after he and Mi Zhu had discussed the future of the Mi family and where to go.
At Mi Zhu's request, he met his little crush, Mi Zhen, the girl from the Mi family who admired him completely and praised him endlessly.
Cao Ang could vividly remember the scene at that time.
He originally agreed to Mi Zhu's request out of curiosity and to see the pretty girl.
However, after seeing it.
Such a naturally beautiful girl, with a pair of starry eyes, screamed like a general, a general, a general, and flew around her like a butterfly in a flower.
And about my proud achievements in the past.
Including but not limited to the battlefield records of victorious battles, the beautiful qualities of loyalty to the king and patriotism, and a series of events, large and small, etc., the little girl in front of him can tell them like a treasure.
Cao Ang gave a thumbs up in an instant.
Expert, really expert!
Who can withstand such a test?
Therefore, after Mi Zhen asked, she wanted to go to Yanzhou with Cao Ang to experience different customs and customs.
Cao Ang asked Mi Zhu for his opinion and agreed happily.
This is the real reason why Mi Zhen's carriage appeared in the army at this moment and accompanied him all the way.
…………
We talked for a while in a harmonious atmosphere.
After having a simple meal and resting on the spot for a while, a general came to ask Cao Ang for instructions on whether to break out of the camp and march.
And after getting the military order from the coach.
The team immediately set off again.
Mi Zhen and her maid naturally returned to the comfortable and spacious carriage.
But as soon as he entered the carriage, the curtain that blocked the view inside and outside was lowered.
Mi Zhen, who was originally reserved and reserved, exuding the brightness and vitality of a girl from top to bottom, suddenly relaxed.
Several maids came quickly to the front and back, pressing the legs and squeezing the shoulders, trying their best to relieve the physical discomfort of their young lady.
After all, this is the home of a delicate daughter.
Moreover, she is not in the habit of traveling long distances. She had only one of her few experiences traveling from her family's hometown to Huang County with her brother.
Therefore, no matter how luxurious the carriage is, the interior space is spacious and comfortable.
Even if you sit for a long time, your waist and legs will be sore, your whole body will feel uncomfortable, and you will be completely exhausted.
The previous performance outside was also done in order not to lose impression points in front of Cao Ang, so he worked hard to maintain it.
…………
"Miss, are the customs, customs and scenery of Yanzhou really so unique? It's worth the long journey and travel."
These maids are all Mi Zhen's personal maids.
They are all people who have been serving for many years and know the basics, so there is no hindrance to what they say.
But after Mi Zhen heard this.
But he tapped his finger lightly on the maid's forehead.
"Silly girl, what do you know? I don't know whether the scenery in Yanzhou is good or bad. Besides, no matter how good the scenery is, it's not necessarily much better than the seaside where we have lived for generations, right?"
"The reason why I want to go to Yanzhou is not to visit the mountains and rivers, but to stay with General Cao. This is enough. In my heart, he is worth the entire Yanzhou!"
Fan girls worship idols.
It's just so unreasonable.
The maids obviously didn't understand this idea very well, but that didn't stop them from nodding to express their understanding.
But in a moment of enlightened reaction.
There was a bold little girl, but she blinked her big watery eyes and asked confusedly.
"Miss, you have fallen in love with General Cao! In that case, why don't you let the head of the family talk to General Cao about the betrothal gift, and we will pay the dowry. After everything is ready, you can go to Yanzhou slowly and leisurely."
"Why bother marching quickly with the army and suffer such hardships?"
…………
Such a straightforward question.
Mi Zhen's face suddenly turned red, and a blood-like blush immediately crawled onto her earlobes and cheeks.
No matter how wealthy a young lady is, she will always feel shy and unspeakable when talking about her life-long events, her husband and her marriage.
But there were no outsiders in the carriage at the moment.
So after a short period of shyness.
Mi Zhen still pinched the little maid's face gently, making a small depression.
Just then he explained: "I heard that General Cao already has a wife. The one who comes first will be superior, and the one who comes later will naturally be willing to be subordinate. If I talk about marriage in an ordinary way, it will be nothing more than an ordinary concubine in the end."
"But now, as a woman, I accompany General Cao across a long journey of thousands of miles. When I arrive in Yanzhou, do you think General Cao can easily forget me and leave me behind?"
Have a common experience with your idol.
Stay for a long time.
This is obviously more intuitive, effective and lethal than the simple word "marriage".
Something that has to be praised.
This young lady from the Mi family is by no means the kind of fool who lives in a boudoir and knows nothing except spending money to enjoy herself. On the contrary, she is very intelligent and is very suitable for her status as a member of a big business family.
…………
And after the maids massaged her for a while.
Mi Zhen leaned back on the soft cushions.
He looked at the roof of the carriage erratically, his thoughts a little racing.
When the maids didn't notice, Mi Zhen murmured slightly to herself in a voice that only she could hear.
"The Mi family has nothing but money. The only advantage I have over General Cao's wife is countless money."
"It would be great if money could buy the position of the main wife..."
