Early the next morning, Wufu Flower Hall.
Around the dining table, three more delicate ladies looked at Lao Cao, who was looking tired and on the verge of crying. They all covered their mouths and bent their waists like willow branches with laughter.
Lao Cao sighed heavily, lowered his head, and showed a flattering smile: "Xiaoman, please loosen daddy's beard, okay?"
The fat boy's eyes widened, he spat out a few bubbles, and said decisively: "Big belly, Wuba, yah!" His two little fat hands flexibly wrapped around his beard.
Seeing this scene, not to mention the three girls, even the maids couldn't help laughing...
No one expected that this great old man, Lao Cao, would be so close to his father whom he had just met by chance. Ever since they held their hands yesterday, they would not let go for a moment, especially his beard, which he loved like a treasure. Who could love him so much? When he wanted to take it away, he cried loudly.
Lao Cao didn't care at first. He had never held a baby in his two lifetimes. He knew that these suckling babies were not energetic enough and would get tired after playing for a while. They either needed to eat or sleep, so he could get away naturally. .
However, as time went by, Lao Cao's heart sank little by little - this boy's energy was unusually strong. After struggling for a long time, he felt hungry in his belly, so he looked for it in Lao Cao's arms. canteen.
You must know that a father's love for his children usually lasts between one stick of incense and two sticks of incense, and he will become impatient the longer it lasts. It is not easy for Lao Cao to hold on for an hour. When he sees that the big boy is hungry, he suddenly becomes impatient. Overjoyed, he wanted to hand it over to Sanniang. Unexpectedly, the child burst into tears and clenched his beard tightly with both hands.
In the end, there was nothing to do, so Lao Cao sat on the Taishi chair, and Sanniang sat on Lao Cao's lap. Lao Cao held Sanniang across from Sanniang, and Lao Cao sipped his dinner and played with his beard, his eyes narrowed with pride. got up.
The judges heard: It turns out that there are two stages of changes in the woman's body: the small stage and the big stage. The small stage is breaking up, and the big stage is becoming a mother - when you meet someone with great potential, you jump from A to B and then to D. Not surprising at all.
Of course, there are hundreds of people with different attitudes, and there are airports that will never change. Anyway, everyone has their own destiny, and it’s yours, so you have to endure it.
There is a saying that people like Lao Cao are naturally not inferior in destiny. Hu Sanniang is one of those with unlimited potential. Lao Cao smelled the faint fragrance and looked down Sanniang's shoulders. Wow - the towering mountains are full of white fragrance. Two points of cinnabar make the soul sway! Looking at the older child again, he is like a little pig gnawing at a trough, squeaking and squeaking and eating so deliciously, I really wish I could replace him with my own body.
Hu Sanniang gave birth to a child, and she will be well nourished after the birth, and her charm is even more charming than before. She also gets along with two beauties, Shi Shi and Jin Lian, day and night. In terms of style, her style is far better than before. She noticed that the troublemaker behind her was breathing slowly. He suddenly shook his waist, and his plump buttocks turned a few times like a millstone, and he said in a disgusted voice: "My lord, the battle is over, how can you bring your weapons home?" People are panicking."
If these words were spoken by Jin Lian or Master, Lao Cao would not be surprised, but they came out of the mouth of Hu Sanniang, a female general. Lao Cao felt a sudden shock, and a fire element golden elixir in his dantian exploded instantly, and he was so masculine. Power instantly spread throughout the body.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to make a move, Sanniang said angrily: "Don't move around, you will spoil your son. Why don't you and I, as a family, stay together for a while?"
"Okay, okay..." Cao Cao responded with difficulty, swallowed his anger, turned around and shouted: "Da Qiao, bring me a bowl of cold tea, aren't you thirsty!"
I secretly thought in my heart: You are so arrogant and flirtatious right now, I will clear your account in a moment! The child sleeps when he is full, and when I am a grown-up child, he sleeps, this and that, hey hey hey hey!
Waiting and waiting, finally when the pig boy was full, he burped, pushed the canteen, and crawled back into Cao Cao's arms without mercy. He pulled his beard with both fists and leaned against his generous chest. , fell asleep in a blink of an eye.
Lao Cao couldn't help but be stunned. He wanted to put him down and started crying with his eyes closed. Lao Cao was afraid that he would choke on his milk from crying, so he had to hold him for a whole night. It's a gourd and a scoop. In short, this young man has made up his mind and won't let go of Lao Cao.
The feeling in Lao Cao's heart is beyond words - no matter how you put it, how can I not be happy when my son is close to me? Looking down at his tender and chubby face, I really like him. But as an old man, I have to be close to my mothers. However, such a big boy does not understand the feelings of his parents. In the end, the three mothers were helpless. Go to sleep, only Lao Cao is holding his son, sleepless on his pillow, counting the cold stars in loneliness.
Just holding her son in her arms and barely eating a few bites of breakfast, Jin Lian finally couldn't help it anymore: "Oh, Sanniang, Xiaoman is too arrogant and overbearing. Is this father his only?"
Hu Sanniang was also anxious, but others were not allowed to say anything. She immediately frowned and said angrily: "What? You want to fight with my son?"
Pan Jinlian saw her speaking with chopsticks in one hand, and subconsciously vomited a double sword. She was frightened and laughed quickly: "How dare I? I, I am worried that the officials will be tired."
Hu Sanniang snorted and said: "You are just a tired person, but now you are so obedient."
The master raised his head and stared at Cao Cao holding the baby. She was full of literature and art, but her attractions were different from those of the two girls: this official was ambitious, generous, and talented in both civil and military affairs. Unexpectedly, he was so patient with children. Oh, I really want to have a child with him...
He rolled his eyes and suddenly called his maid, Xiangxiang, and whispered a few words. Xiangxiang nodded and left in a hurry.
After breakfast, the family of five chatted about daily life. Not long after chatting, Sanniang and Jinlian both felt sleepy - Lao Cao had not had a good rest last night, and they tossed and turned and did not sleep soundly for long.
When the master saw it, he immediately said: "Sisters, if you are tired, go and take a nap. I will accompany the officials and play with Xiaoman."
The two women looked at each other and looked at Xiaoman who was having fun playing with his beard. They both nodded, got up and went to bed respectively. Master Shishi was secretly happy. They sat next to Cao Cao and chatted with him every time. .
Not long after, Li Kui waddled straight into the hall, sang loudly, and said happily: "I said that my brother can't live without me Tieniu. Did you see it, Pauline? The other brothers didn't call me, but asked me to drink with him. "
Cao Cao was very surprised. I am so angry. What do you want me to do to you, a bastard like you?
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the master say: "What Tieniu said is absolutely right. Your brother often talks about you. Yesterday, he suddenly wanted to eat the roasted donkey meat in Miaozi Town, and he remembered that you also like it the most. , so I specifically asked me to ask people to buy donkey meat to treat you... Oh, official, the slave family forgot to order people to buy it, you, don't scold the slave family!"
"Ah?" Cao Cao's generation of heroes, after all, had a slower brain at home, and he was a little dazed for a moment. Then he heard Li Kui laugh and said: "What did my sister-in-law say? She just forgot to buy donkey meat. It's such a trivial matter. How can I, brother?" Are you willing to scold you? Just wait, Tieniu rides to buy it, and you can come back in an hour!"
After that, he asked Cao Cao for a piece of silver, went to the horse gallery to fetch a horse, and rode as fast as he could to Miaozi Town, thirty miles outside Qingzhou City, to buy raw shit and roast donkey meat.
Li Shishi pointed at the girl in Song Baolian's arms and said with a smile: "Guan Guan and Tieniu are good brothers. Our children are born on both sides. Agua is in Baolian's arms. Xiaoman has always loved his best friend." He plays.”
Pauline was happy when she heard this, and then she held the big fat girl in her arms with great effort, and teased: "Agua, come on, uncle-uncle-hello!"
Cao Cao looked at it with a smile, and was shocked. His little boy, four months old, was like an ordinary child one year old, which was already rare. However, Li Kui's daughter was whiter and fatter, just like a two-year-old. She My mother’s small body is so difficult to hold.
That Agua didn't look at Cao Cao either. His eyes were filled with little maniacs. He stretched out his fat hands and mumbled something.
When Xiaoman saw Agua, he was also happy. He smiled happily, danced, and pulled Cao Cao's beard to offer treasures. He seemed to want to play with Agua, which scared the teacher so much that he held his breath. Fortunately, Agua didn't have such a hobby, so he tried to After grabbing it twice, he curled his lips and let go, holding the little man tightly without letting go.
Xiaoman looked at his beard reluctantly, then finally let go and grabbed Agua's clothes. The two milk babies laughed stupidly.
Only then did the teacher let out a long breath and smiled broadly: "Come here, pull people in, put a thick layer of fur on them, and let the children play on the ground."
Not long after, several maids each took some tiger skins, leopard skins and bears skins, spread a thick layer on the ground, and placed many toys on it. The two children grabbed each other, laughing and joking.
The teacher said: "Pauline, let's take off our shoes and go up and play with the child, shall we?"
Baolian was moved. She glanced at Cao Cao, shook her head and said with a smile, "No, just watch them play."
The master said angrily: "How dare you, Baolian, play here? Go, go, go and rest in my room."
"Ah!!!!" Cao Cao just woke up from a dream, suddenly smiled, nodded repeatedly, and walked away.
Here, Shishi and Pauline took off their shoes, sat on the leather and played for a while, then made an excuse and asked Pauline to keep an eye on the child, then stood up and disappeared like flying...
An hour later.
Two girls, Hu Sanniang and Pan Jinlian, came into the hall with sleepy eyes. They saw two babies covered with small quilts and sleeping soundly on the leather. Next to them, Baolian's little head was biting, and she also looked drowsy. Qi was startled and suddenly woke up. Looking at each other, they could see the shock in each other's eyes——
Dear Master Li, you are really our good sister!
Just as he was about to ask Baolian, he heard a horse neighing, and then Li Kui strode over with a smile, holding the boss's bag of donkey meat in his hand: "Hey, where is my brother?"
Hu Sanniang was confused, but Pan Jinlian guessed that it must be Li Kui who was inseparable. Master Li invited Li Kui and his wife, diverted Li Kui away, used a melon to stick to Xiao Man, and took the opportunity to act wildly. Seeing that Li Kui was so naive, he couldn't help but To say: "Your brother was captured by goblins."
Before the words were spoken, a cough was heard outside the door: "Tieniu, my brother is here."
Hearing the voice, Baolian quickly put on her shoes and looked around: "Where's Sister Shishi?"
However, Shishi came out from inside, the blush on his skin had not faded, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and his every frown and smile were amazingly beautiful. He wiped the sweat and said with a smile: "I'm going to arrange lunch, are everyone here? Let's go, let's go, let's go , all going to eat..."
Hu Sanniang and Pan Jinlian both rolled their eyes and took Baolian and the children to eat. Li Kui took the donkey meat and went to the kitchen. Master Shishi walked up to Cao Cao in small steps, took his hand, and his eyes were as lingering as fire: "Official , I feel that you must have hit the target with this shot!" He glanced at Sanniang's back, bit his lip and said with a smile: "This child's nickname is Ah Mang. He too."
Qingzhou's donkey meat is famous, and the donkey meat in Miaozi Town is even more unique. The donkey skin is soft and elastic, and the donkey meat is oily and chewy. Then grate garlic, boil it briefly, mix it with some vinegar, and eat it with the donkey meat. The taste is great. For deliciousness.
Li Kui bought more than ten kilograms of donkey meat and cooked five kilograms by himself. Cao Cao also worked hard and kneaded three kilograms. The remaining female relatives used some and rewarded the servants.
After finishing the meal and rinsing his mouth with the fragrant soup, Li Kui was about to leave and claimed that he had an appointment with Niu Gao to play tricks. Hu Sanniang and Pan Jinlian said in unison: "Let Tieniu go and leave Baolian alone."
Li Kui was so happy that he left his mother and son in Wu Mansion and went for a walk. In the afternoon, Shishi pouted and coaxed the two children to play with Baolian. Sanniang, Jinlian and Cao Cao were not aware of it. Whereabouts.
Another day later, Cao Cao, his wife and children, and a group of brothers from Qingzhou gathered in the Hero Building. During the banquet, everyone asked Cao Cao to name the young man. Cao Cao was half drunk, and his literary thoughts were not smooth. He stretched out his hand to touch his beard and thought. , pulled it gently, and dozens of beards suddenly came out. Cao Cao stared at the beard in his hand for a moment, and sighed: "My eldest son is born with strength. He will undoubtedly be a warrior in the future, so he named him after the character fierce. Just call him Wu Meng!"
All the heroes nodded repeatedly and said: "It's good to be fierce, it's good to be fierce. A man should be fierce as he should be."
Then he stayed at home for more than ten days. In November, the emperor issued an edict to change the Yuan Dynasty to Chonghe.
Cao Cao calculated with his fingers that the time to go to sea was approaching, so he immediately sent a group of messengers to various places, bringing Xu Guanzhong from Qizhou, Luan Tingyu from Mizhou, Linchong from Liangshan, Hua Rong, Fan Rui, and Sanruan to Qingzhou to join him, and also brought Shi Wengong with him. , Shi Qian and two, ten people in total, were ready to take them to Dengzhou.
Before leaving, everyone was having a drink. Many brothers clamored to go with them, but Cao Cao refused. He only said, "I'm going here to see if the Jurchens are real. Since I'm in the imperial court, there's no danger to my safety. You can earn money while you're here." , those who should be training soldiers should each do their job, and if you bring me back, you will not have many happy days."
Seeing everyone's reluctance, Xia Houhu stood up and tried to persuade him: "Brothers, listen to what I'm saying. The ten brothers led by Brother Wu actually have their own strengths: Brother Xu is a living map and knows all kinds of dialects; Brother Luan Each has his or her own unique skills on horseback and step, and they often practice with their eldest brothers; Coach Lin and Coach Shi are unparalleled in their formations; General Hua is invincible with his arrows; Brother Fan Dao has superb spells; the three Ruan brothers can ride through the waves; Brother Shi Qian has extraordinary qinggong; they Together, we can be said to be invincible. Although each brother has his or her own abilities, on the one hand, they have multiple responsibilities, and on the other hand, they may be similar. If there are too many people, it will be inconvenient."
After hearing Xia Houhu's insightful words, everyone looked at him with admiration, knowing that this thin scholar was quite extraordinary.
However, those who had duties just paid it back. Jiao Ting, Zhou Tong, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng all started to make a fuss. Cao Cao shook his head and said: "I have traveled thousands of miles across the sea. I don't know when I will return. Don't you want me at home?" Guards? The four of you can discuss among yourselves and leave two people to look after your sister-in-law for me."
When the four heard this, they immediately punched each other, but Jiao Ting and Zhou Tong won, leaving Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to look after the house.
Mu Hong smiled and said: "Brother Xiahou, these two guys are going too, but what can they say?"
Xia Houhu said with a smile: "Brother Jiao is the best in sumo wrestling, and as for Brother Zhou, haha, haha, he is a lucky general."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhou Tong also laughed and said: "That's all you have. My younger brother's strengths can only be found in my nickname of 'Pretty Man'. I will go with my brother, and those Jurchen savages will just obey." Otherwise, I might as well become the Jurchen Prince Consort, are you afraid that they won’t obey my orders?”
Everyone laughed more and more, which diluted a bit of the sorrow of separation.
When Cao Cao returned home, he said goodbye to his beloved wife and beloved son. Xiaoman was ignorant and naturally did not know the sorrow of separation. He was afraid that he would not have a beard to pull, so Cao Cao specially made a fake beard and put it on his face whenever he hugged him. Comfort this child's longing for his father.
The three wives and concubines, however, were grieving and worried, and they all persuaded him: "Uncle Erlang's ability is unparalleled, why don't the officials take him with him? Youdao is a brother who fights tigers, and he and his son go into battle."
Cao Cao pondered for a while and then said slowly: "My home country is thousands of miles away, and the foreign land is poor and desolate. If there is an emergency, Erlang can do it, and Coach Lin and Shi Wengong may not be able to do it. However, if something unexpected happens, I I still have Erlang to support me, which is enough to keep you and others safe."
After hearing these words, several women suddenly panicked. During the night, you went and I came, lingering until death. When it was time to set off, Lao Cao lost another two kilograms.
The next day, his wife, children, and brothers sent him off twenty miles away before he reluctantly returned. Li Kui burst into tears several times, and Cao Cao whispered, "How can I work with peace of mind when you are not at home?" before he persuaded him to stop.
Luan Tingyu also said: "Tieniu, you have done so many things with your brother. It is rare for you to call me. You can just wait at home. But my old Luan is still alive, and my brother will not be hurt by anyone."
The remaining Lin Chong and others also said: "Just don't worry.
Cao Cao said: "That's all. I'll see you again after a thousand miles. You all can go back while I wait."
With a whip on his horse, he took his twelve brothers and headed straight for Dengzhou.
Youfen teaches: The waves of the sea never rest, and heroes do not have to worry about their careers. This time, I rode the waves to reach the impasse, drew my sword and vowed to capture You Yan.
