Song Xin threw down the money bag, then turned around and stopped looking at Tian Qing'er. He rode out of the city and prepared to go east. Although Cao Cao once ordered Song Xin to think about his mistakes at home, this was just to deal with Wei Xi's remarks. Even if he went out of the city, no one would stop him.
But not long after galloping out, I heard the sound of hooves rushing behind me, and a man on the horse shouted: "Master Song, please stay!"
Song Xinlema turned around and saw that it was a school official. The man stopped in front of Song Xin without getting off his horse. He bowed and said, "Song Gong, the Prime Minister has a headache. I order you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for treatment."
"Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Song Xin had no choice but to temporarily put aside his plan to go to Xuzhou and followed the school affairs to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he came in, he saw Cao Cao covering his head and groaning. The two maids next to him tied a ribbon around his forehead and pulled it to both sides, which could slightly relieve the pain. Several doctors were kneeling beside him, their faces ugly and trembling. Apparently he was reprimanded by Cao Cao just now.
Cao Pi was sitting aside, covering his face with a look of grievance, as if someone had slapped him in the face.
Seeing Song Xin coming, Cao Cao didn't have the strength to speak, so he just raised his hand and called Song Xin over.
When he came to Cao Cao, Song Xin massaged the top of his head with ease, and at the same time used sharp gold seals as needles to help him with acupuncture.
The doctor saw that Song Xin only gently massaged Cao Cao's head a few times, as if he was performing acupuncture, but there was no needle in Song Xin's hand. Soon after, Cao Cao's expression improved. He couldn't help but be frightened. Several people looked at each other. They had never seen such a technique before. One person couldn't help but craned his neck to see how Song Xin did it.
But in the end, he found nothing and could only shake his head with regret.
Within a quarter of an hour, Cao Cao's headache was gone, he was sweating profusely, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
Song Xin was puzzled. Since the last treatment, Cao Cao's headaches rarely occurred. He didn't know why this time. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Cao Cao's desk and saw a pile of bamboo slips and silks placed on it, and a few items were thrown on the ground in front of the desk.
"Zihuan, please put the battle report away." Cao Cao seemed to feel a little guilty. He had just slapped Cao Pi because of his headache.
"Yes, father." Cao Pi quickly got up and helped clean up the documents scattered on the floor.
"Prime Minister, I wonder what happened that caused another headache?" Song Xin asked.
Cao Cao picked up a battle report and handed it to Song Xin, "You will know after you open it and take a look. The truth allows you to read it."
Song Xin took it and looked at it, his brows suddenly furrowed.
According to the battle report, Lei Xu, Chen Lan, and Meicheng from Lujiang County responded to Liu Bei and raised an army to rebel. It is said that 70,000 to 80,000 people followed, and the momentum was very huge. At this time, Sun Quan had sent a large army to attack Hefei. At the same time, Zhou Yu was also confronting Cao Ren in Jingzhou. Another incident occurred in Lujiang County, which gave Cao Cao a headache.
"Prime Minister, why don't you send troops to quell the rebellion?" Song Xin asked.
"Morale is low now, the troops are insufficient, and the food and grass can't keep up. It's not a good time to use troops." Cao Cao put the battle report on the table and tapped it with his fingers.
"Father, you might as well transport some grain and grass from Jizhou and transport it southward along the waterway. You can reach Lujiang within a month." Cao Pi suggested.
"If the troops are insufficient, we can also mobilize some more soldiers and horses from Jizhou and Bingzhou."
Seeing that Cao Cao just lowered his head and said nothing, Cao Pi tried to suggest something again.
Song Xin couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw his trembling expression. In fact, Cao Pi's suggestion was not wrong. If Cao Chong had said this suggestion, Cao Cao would probably be smiling now.
"Zihuan, would you like to go to Jizhou on behalf of your father to collect grain and grass?"
Cao Pi agreed without thinking. Naturally, he was absolutely willing. If this was done, his status in Cao Cao's heart would be even greater than that of his younger brothers.
Seeing that he agreed, Cao Cao nodded with a satisfied look on his face. He picked up the pen and wrote the document, and asked seemingly casually: "Song Xin, I heard that Wei Xi gave his house to you. Is this the case?"
Song Xin didn't hide anything and told the story about the house.
Cao Cao nodded, "Chong'er has been begging me to change a house for you. I don't want Wei Xi to change it for you. This way
That's fine. You go down, don't leave Xudu recently, come as you are told. "
When Song Xin heard this, he couldn't leave anymore. He had no choice but to give up his plan to go to Xuzhou.
The next morning, it was a day off for all officials in the city. At this time, officials had to live in the government office when working. They would have a day off every fifth day to allow them to go back to bathe, change clothes, and meet their families. .
When Song Xin was at home, Wei Tong sent someone to invite him to his home. Song Xin heard that Wei Tong's wife and daughter had also come to Xudu, and he had long wanted to visit them. Arrive at Wei Tong's home and follow him into the backyard of the mansion.
"Yitong, come out quickly and meet my wise brother."
After a while, a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman walked out of the house. Beautiful appearance and generous temperament. When Song Xin saw Wei Tong's wife for the first time, he immediately bowed down and said, "Greetings to Mrs. Sister-in-law. My younger brother, Song Xin, is polite."
Wei Yitong smiled brightly and said, "I often hear my husband praise one of his little brothers. I saw him today. Well, he is indeed as his name suggests. Please get up quickly."
Wei Tong patted Song Xin on the shoulder and said, "Yitong, brother Song, despite his young age, is a dragon and a phoenix among men..."
"Okay, I'll listen to you talking every day." She looked at Wei Tong affectionately and said.
Wei Tong laughed and said, "Haha, the weather is pleasant in late summer now. How about we go for an outing to the outskirts of Xudu? Yitong and Shu'er are both new to Xudu, so they just want to go sightseeing around."
Mrs. Wei nodded and turned around to go in. After a while, she led an eleven or twelve-year-old girl out, "Come and meet Uncle Song Xin."
This little girl was born very cute, and it can be said that she got the advantages of her parents. She has long black hair hanging down her head. Although she is not very old, she has the elegance of a lady.
When Song Xin heard that he was only a few years older than this girl, how could he become an uncle? He said with a look of shame, "Don't dare, don't dare. Song Xin is only a few years older, how dare he be the elder of the young lady."
"You call me eldest brother, and my daughter will naturally be your junior. That's it, Shu'er, come here, this is your uncle Song Xin."
"Okay then." Song Xin felt a little embarrassed and saluted the girl, "Song Xin is polite."
The girl was very polite and bowed down Yingying, "Uncle Song Xin, Wei Shu is polite."
"Jing Nu Qishu, she is indeed as beautiful as a poem." Song Xin praised.
Wei Yitong said: "I heard that Brother Song has a sister, how about we go on an outing together today?"
"This is very good. My sister and the others have experienced a lot of changes recently, and they just want to relax. My sister and the others will definitely become very good sisters with Madam." Song Xin said.
Wei Tong smiled and said, "By the way, the little girl from the Qing Dynasty Commercial Department will also be brought with me."
Song Xin's face turned red. She didn't expect that he would suddenly mention Fei Peng. He had experienced many changes since returning to Xudu and had never been able to see her. He said, "That's fine, but I don't know if the Commercial Affairs Department will allow them to come out."
Wei Tong said: "Haha, this matter is easy to handle. I will go to the Commercial Clearance Office in person. Then I will say it is your sister and they will not stop me."
After a while, a carriage came outside Song Xin's house. Song Xin jumped out of the car and told her mother about it. Song Xin's mother said she wanted to rest at home, and Liu Ling was willing to stay and take care of her. Finally, Ah Jiang went with them.
When the car arrived at the Qing Commercial Office, Song Xin saw that there were several carriages here, seemingly waiting for someone.
