Oh, by the way, Sima is the natural enemy of our Cao family!
Well, we have to think of a way to kill the Sima family first.
Oh no!
Not yet, Cao has to rely on Sima Yi’s father, Sima Fang, to recommend me as an official.
It can’t be done without him!
Besides, he does no harm to me.
As long as I live longer, the Sima family will have nothing to do with our old Cao family.
Therefore, I want to outlast Sima Yi.
I have to live a long life.
Oh, no, I traveled through time with my body.
My future son’s physique will be different.
Yes, yes, don't be afraid of Sima.
Ha ha!
~~
The two chatted affectionately, and Cao Cao suddenly became worried again.
Because he thought about the future, the Sima family, and his sweetheart.
Yuan Shao was looking at Cao Cao.
Looking at the flashing expression on Cao Cao's face, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "Brother Meng Dexian, you are very ill! Forget it, stop drinking. Have a drink and enjoy yourself! Drinking too much will harm your body."
~~
Of course Cao Cao didn't want to drink.
So, he seized the opportunity and made a request to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao for help and introducing him to study under Cai Yong to enhance his image, status and reputation.
~~
This is an era where people talk about their origins.
In terms of background, Cao Cao is far inferior to Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao's background was both good and bad.
It's good because my family has money.
The bad thing is because he is a descendant of a eunuch.
Descendants of eunuchs, this is a label that Cao Cao tried every means to remove.
Therefore, although the Cao family was rich, not many people could look up to Cao Cao at that time.
Yuan Shao treated Cao Cao as a brother.
Because Cao Cao obeyed Yuan Shao and was Yuan Shao's little follower.
He hopes that by following Yuan Shao, he can stand out.
~~
Because Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, served as the Great Changqiu of the Harem, that is, the Grand Manager of the Harem, which was the highest position of the eunuch at that time.
Naturally the eunuch had no sons.
But Cao Teng had an adopted son named Cao Song.
Due to the protection of his adoptive father, Cao Song also served as Sili Xiaowei.
As for his life experience, it is a mystery.
However, after Cao Teng's death, Cao Song's official career was still smooth. He served as the imperial court's chief minister, a position in charge of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, handicrafts, manufacturing, finance, etc., with great authority.
~~
Cao Cao is Cao Song's eldest son.
His biological mother died young.
Cao Cao's living environment was very favorable since he was a child.
However, as a child from a single-parent family, he is also labeled as a descendant of a eunuch, which makes him different from other children from scholar families.
~~
Single parenthood and flawed experiences gave Cao Cao two tendencies in his character:
One is low self-esteem and strong jealousy.
The second is that he has a bad temper and has a bad temper.
He can even be cruel at times.
When he was being trained at home, he was submissive.
And when he encounters weak people outside, he becomes violent and violent.
In the early days, Cao Cao was short in stature and ugly in appearance.
Therefore, many people look down on him.
~~
But, strangely enough, Yuan Shao was very kind to him.
God always closes a window for you and opens a door for you.
Therefore, Cao Cao was sensitive by nature, had low self-esteem, was bold, clever, restless, and always wanted to attract attention.
Whenever he has troubles, he will come to Yuan Shao.
Then, the two chatted and laughed, and Cao Cao's worries disappeared.
~~
Yuan Shao liked Cao Cao, probably because Cao Cao obeyed his advice.
Therefore, tonight, Cao Cao is obviously defecting to Yuan Shao.
In fact, he came here to tear off the label of descendant of eunuchs.
Because this Cao Cao is not that Cao Cao.
He wanted to find Cai Yong and worship Cai Yong as his teacher. He took this opportunity to live in Cai Yong's home and stay with Cai Wenji for a long time, cultivating a good relationship from an early age.
As long as he can worship Cai Yong as his teacher, Cao Cao will become famous and his image will become positive.
Reputation is important in times like this.
Who is whose disciple and who is whose teacher is also very important.
Without such a good reputation, it is difficult to win over people.
~~
Cai Yong, courtesy name: Bojie, was a native of Yuxian County, Chenliu County. He was a famous minister, writer, calligrapher, and the father of Cai Wenji, a talented and beautiful woman. He currently serves as the Councilor of the Imperial Court.
~~
Of course, Cao Cao wants to worship Cai Yong as his teacher because the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to Cai Wenji.
~~
Cai Wenji, named Yan, Wenji, was born in Yuxian County, Chenliu County. She was the daughter of the great writer Cai Yong. She was erudite and talented, and was good at literature, music, and calligraphy.
~~
At this time, Cai Wenji was a little girl of several years old.
Previously, three-year-old Cai Wenji was playing in the courtyard while her father played the piano in the room.
Suddenly, one of the strings broke.
Cai Wenji confidently shouted in the courtyard: "The third string was broken!".
When Cai Yong heard this, he was very happy and deliberately broke a string.
Cai Wenji heard the sound again and identified it, and said loudly: "This time it was the fifth string that was broken!" Thus the first harp girl of all time was born.
~~
She is like a hibiscus that has just bloomed, fresh and fragrant, fragrant and elegant. Cao Cao didn't want her blooming to become a bleak dream, beautiful but distant.
He wanted to turn this dream into a reality that was tangible and approachable.
Now, he regards her as the Liu Yifei of his modern society.
Cao Cao knew that Cai Wenji would look a lot like Liu Yifei when she grew up.
In an era when it was impossible for him to travel back in time, Cai Wenji was his Liu Yifei, his eternal dream, and he had to be with her forever.
Cai Wenji will also become Cao Cao's eternal spiritual sustenance.
~~
Therefore, tonight, Cao Cao was uneasy because he wanted something from Yuan Shao.
He asked Yuan Shao to write a letter to Cai Yong and introduce him to Cai Yong as his disciple.
Otherwise, after he was a eunuch, Cai Yong would not accept him as his disciple.
And Cao Cao didn't care about learning the best martial arts.
Because his ambition is to be a commander-in-chief and command thousands of troops.
Instead of fighting with others.
Just have some martial arts skills to protect yourself.
Why do you have to work so hard to learn martial arts?
~~
After hearing Cao Cao's request, Yuan Shao laughed loudly and naturally agreed. He also knew Cao Cao's embarrassment as a descendant of a eunuch, and he also wanted Cao Cao to become a talented person for his own use in the future.
Because Yuan Shao is also a man of great ambition and talent.
He just has some character flaws and is not decisive enough in dealing with things.
In other aspects, he is superior to any other young master from aristocratic families.
~~
So Yuan Shao ordered the boy to bring paper, pen and ink, and immediately wrote a letter to Cai Yong, introducing Cao Cao's situation and praising him: "Cao Mengde is as beautiful as Song Yu, as talented as the ovary, and as ambitious as Xiao He. But if he wants to make progress, please accept Cao Cao as his successor." Disciple, give him unique knowledge. Yuan Benchu nodded." Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw him finish writing the letter.
He raised his glass to thank Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao said jokingly: "My dear brother, I hope that when you come back from school, your knowledge will change as much as your appearance."
Ha ha ha ha!
Cao Cao was very embarrassed and looked up to the sky laughing.
He smiled to hide his embarrassment.
That night, both of them were drunk and reclining on the couch.
The two of them talked some nonsense, talked about their ideals and ambitions, and slowly fell asleep.
~~
Early the next morning, Cao Cao bid farewell to Yuan Shao and went to Cai Mansion, not far away, to worship Cai Yong as his disciple. Yuan Shaoxiang sent Cao Cao out of the palace and gave Cao Cao a hundred gold coins.
He said that a literary man like Cai Yong was very noble, his family was very poor, he refused to accept gifts, he only relied on his salary, and he loved his daughter very much, so he always had to repair and write books. Moreover, Cai Wensu had no money and had to buy " "Cai Hou paper" to write a book, it costs a lot.
Therefore, Brother Meng Dexian had to send some money and food to Cai Yong from time to time in the name of his disciple to please him.
~~
Given Yuan Shao's status, he looked down on Cai Yong.
This is exactly the opposite of Cao Cao.
Because what Yuan Shao could get easily, Cao Cao had to work a hundred times harder.
~~
Cao Cao cupped his fists and bowed, thanked Yuan Shao for his guidance, and said that he would come back to visit brother Benchu every few days.
In this life, I will always follow my brother's lead.
~~
Yuan Shao, also known as Benchu, was born in Ruyang, Runan.
He was born into a world-famous family, the "Yuan Family of Runan".
Starting from my great-great-grandfather Yuan An, five of the four generations of the Yuan family worshiped the Three Dukes.
Yuan Shao's biological mother was a servant girl with a low status.
He was born in Luoyang, Kyoto.
But his birth coincided with the death of his father.
Yuan Shao was raised by his adoptive mother, his father's wife and other women.
But Yuan Shao was lucky.
He has always been cared for by his uncles Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei.
Therefore, Yuan Shao became a Langguan when he was young.
Because of his outstanding appearance and manners, he was often imitated.
When he was weak, he served as the county magistrate of Puyang and already had a reputation of being honest and capable.
He was handsome in appearance, dignified in manner, and benevolent. In addition, he lowered his status and made friends with all his heart. At that time, scholars rushed to join him.
Yuan Shao treated all the scholars who came here with courtesy, regardless of their status.
Therefore, various carriages from guests visiting Yuan Shao in Kyoto crowded the streets and alleys of Luoyang.
In this way, Cao Cao can only be Yuan Shao's follower brother.
~~
With Yuan Shao's letter of introduction, Cai Yong did not dare not accept Cao Cao, but he still looked down on Cao Cao and did not accept Cao Cao's money.
How embarrassing!
When Cao Cao saw Cai Yong, he was extremely embarrassed.
He was also extremely sad.
~~
However, Cao Cao didn't care about his contemptuous eyes or what he learned.
The most important thing is that he can play and play games with the little girl Cai Wenji.
Now, Cai Wenji is Cao Cao's spiritual sustenance.
He is waiting for Cai Wenji to grow up so that he can marry Cai Wenji.
He regards Cai Wenji as his Liu Yifei.
Of course, he would also sneak out secretly, buy some rice noodles, and secretly add them to the rice vat in the kitchen of Cai Mansion.
~~
Once, Cai Wenji saw it and said she wanted to report it to her father.
Cao Cao quickly coaxed her and said that as long as she didn't report the matter, he would learn to play the piano.
Only then did Cai Wenji let him go.
This little girl also has high hopes for this handsome brother, hoping that Cao Cao can be both civil and military and become a great person.
~~
