Cao Cao whispered that I would also go to Shuofang County.
You won't tell my father about this until I leave tomorrow.
Then, he loudly said to brother Yuan Rang, after you have eaten, you will go with the housekeeper and take a bath, change clothes and rest early.
Tomorrow morning, I will ask you to get up and go out with me to do errands. Your sins are absolved.
I'll go find Yuan Benchu later, he will definitely help, don't worry.
~~
So Xiahou Dun and others came to thank Cao Cao again.
Then, they followed Cao Mai.
~~
Liu Yan asked Cao Cao with tears in her eyes: "Has the Ding family girl agreed to marry you?"
Cao Cao said: "Yes! But so what? What's wrong with you?"
Didn't he say it was agreed before?
You are also a lady, and she is also a lady.
If you live far apart, you can also avoid seeing the Ding girls.
I won’t give you any of this money.
You now have one hundred gold and one thousand iron coins, which is enough.
It’s enough for your mother’s family to buy a shop and a house in Kyoto.
You can stay in your house with peace of mind and don't cause trouble. Wealth and honor in this life will not be a problem.
I have to go out and need the money.
I'll give you the money when I come back.
Now, I will go to the steward and ask him to send a carriage for you tomorrow.
~~
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he picked up the package, got up and left.
He gave Cao Mai some instructions and then went out to find Yuan Shao.
He asked Yuan Shao to come forward to ensure that Xiahou Dun was fine.
~~
Only then did Liu Yan make up her mind, knowing that Cao Cao was a man of his word.
One thing that particularly reassures Liu Yan is that Cao Cao is very decisive no matter what he does.
Liu Yan was particularly impressed by one of Cao Cao's character traits.
A naturally decisive man, no ordinary man.
Even if Cao Cao hadn't become more handsome, Liu Yan would still like him and marry him.
~~
Liu Yan quickly got up and packed her things.
She moved to Cao Cao's bedroom that night.
And when she packed her things and came to Cao Cao's bedroom, Cao Mai had already sent two maids to wait on her.
She thought to herself: The old housekeeper is so sensible, he is afraid that if I give birth to a son in the future, the mother will be more valuable than the son.
hehe!
She then rewarded each of the two maids with a piece of gold.
The two maids were moved to tears, knelt down in gratitude, and swore allegiance to Liu Yan to the death.
Then, Liu Yan led the two maids and happily walked in the courtyard.
She knew that Cao Cao couldn't mess with her tonight.
Because Cao Cao is a man who values love and justice.
When he comes back from Yuan Mansion later, he will definitely chat or drink with Xiahoudun and the others.
~~
Yuan Mansion.
Since Runan returned to Kyoto, Yuan Shao has been in a good mood.
Because his younger brother Yuan Shu had a crooked face and a crooked nose, he no longer treated him so forcefully.
Moreover, Yuan Shu moved out.
He now has a crooked face and a crooked nose, and he really has no face living in this big family.
~~
In this way, Yuan Shao was in a very good mood.
Faced with Cao Cao's request, Yuan Shao said boldly, yes!
Yuan Shao said again, Brother Meng De, this is a trivial matter.
Brother Yu will send someone out of Beijing tomorrow to Pei Guoqiao County and ask the county government to find a scapegoat to take the blame for Xiahou Dun. Isn't that the end?
Then, he ordered a banquet to be held, people to warm the wine, and he wanted to have a wine tasting and chat with Cao Cao at night.
~~
Cao Cao felt that it made sense.
He thanked Yuan Shao and asked the servants of the Yuan Mansion to go out for a while.
Then, Cao Cao whispered about Cai Yong.
He said that he would ask Brother Ben Chu to help him again and write a letter to Shuofang County Office, telling him that Taiwei Yuan Wei had accepted Cai Wenji as his adopted daughter.
The little girl was ignorant, so naturally she would not participate in Cai Yong's affairs, and she was naturally not guilty.
What does a little girl of four or five years old know?
Where does the crime of deceiving the emperor come from?
~~
Cao Cao also said that he would go to Shuofang County tomorrow to pick up Cai Wenji. He needed travel expenses and asked his brother to help.
Because of this matter, I did not dare to tell my father clearly and could not ask for money.
~~
Yuan Shao laughed and said, Meng De's wise brother is as good as water, he is really respectable and admirable.
He said yes again! money is not a problem.
Brother Yu immediately wrote this letter for Brother Xian.
~~
Immediately, Yuan Shao called the bookboy, ordered him to grind ink, write quickly, and handed the letter to Cao Cao for review.
After Cao Cao finished reading, he dried the ink, put away the letter, and hid it in his pocket. He bowed and thanked Yuan Shao, and said that he was a great kindness and he would never forget it.
Yuan Shao joked, Brother Meng Dexian must be really grateful! Don't be so sweet and stab Brother Yu in the back.
Cao Cao blushed and quickly patted his chest and promised, no! Absolutely not! The younger brother is always grateful to his elder brother and will always be his little follower.
No matter what my brother's orders are, my younger brother is willing to go up the mountain of swords and descend into the sea of fire. He will only obey his orders and follow his lead.
~~
Yuan Shao asked his servant to come in and ask the servant to find the steward. He also asked the steward to go to the accountant and give Cao Cao two hundred gold and ten thousand pieces of iron money.
Then, he tasted wine with Cao Cao.
This Yuan Shao also has a huge advantage, that is, he knows how to get money and gain popularity.
Therefore, when he lost his mother, more than 30,000 guests came to express their condolences.
Although some people are just for profit and want to curry favor with the Yuan family's power, there are also many people who sincerely come to express their condolences to Yuan's mother.
~~
The two drank and chatted for a while, and Yuan Shao said that he was leaving Beijing because His Majesty chose a concubine. Although the eunuchs were responsible for this matter, he also wanted to participate in commanding troops and escorting. If he could perform meritorious services, he could be promoted to a post.
He also whispered that Brother Meng Dexian must come back from Shuofang County as soon as possible, then go to the brother's place, pretend to be a robber, and rob the beauties. When the brother arrives, he will pretend to chase the younger brother and his party, and then he will have meritorious service by recovering the beauties.
Brother Meng Dexian, please rest assured that I will not really hunt you down. I just want to take this opportunity to achieve more military exploits.
He also said that this beauty pageant in various places is not a matter of a day or two. It may take about half a year or seven or eight months. My dear brother can go back and forth from Shuofang County in time.
~~
Cao Cao raised his fingers and praised him, saying, "Brother, you are really wise!"
He also boldly said yes! My younger brother asked Xiahou Dun and his brothers to come over, and immediately asked them to come to your mansion and pretend to obey orders.
Brother has saved their lives, and they must repay him with death.
When my younger brother comes back from Shuofang County, he will also look for his whereabouts.
At that time, my younger brother will definitely participate in this matter, ensuring that my elder brother will make great achievements and be reused by the court.
~~
Yuan Shao laughed proudly.
He just likes this little brother Cao Cao who obeys his advice.
Then, he asked his servant to find the housekeeper, and sent a good carriage to Cao Mansion to pick up the three brothers Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, and Xia Houen.
~~
Taking advantage of Yuan Shao's happiness, Cao Cao asked Yuan Shao to help him get some customs clearance documents so that his trip to Shuofang County would go more smoothly, especially so that the generals at the passes would be more polite to him.
He said that without customs clearance documents, he could only walk through the wilderness. What if he was eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards in the middle of the night? What about being swallowed by a giant python?
Then in this life, will the elder brother never see the younger brother again?
~~
Yuan Shao laughed proudly again, and ordered his servant to find the housekeeper, and then ordered the housekeeper to go to Yuan Wei immediately and apply for some customs clearance documents for Brother Meng.
The butler left quickly.
In large households, these matters are usually handled by the housekeeper.
Therefore, the housekeeper of a wealthy family is usually a clan member of the wealthy family, or a clever relative.
~~
After a while, the three Xiahou brothers arrived and Cao Cao described the situation.
The three Xiahou brothers quickly knelt down and thanked Yuan Shao for saving his life.
Yuan Shao laughed and didn't take it seriously, and asked them to come over and taste wine together.
Half an hour later, the steward of the Yuan Mansion came back and handed Cao Cao the customs clearance documents.
Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was a little drunk, so he picked up the gold and iron coins presented by Yuan Shao, said goodbye to Yuan Shao, and took advantage of Yuan's mansion's fine carriage to return home.
Because of the curfew, he had to be escorted by a fine carriage from Yuan Mansion in order to return home safely. Of course, he could also use Lingbo Weibu to return home.
However, this is not necessary.
What if you meet a master?
If we have to fight again and cause some trouble, won't we delay our trip to Shuofang County again?
After Cao Cao returned home, he did not go to Liu Yan, but to Cao Hong.
He slept on the same bed as Cao Hong and asked Cao Hong to follow him to Shuofang County tomorrow.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to take the Xiahou brothers with him.
There is strength in numbers!
At the critical moment, it's good to have someone to help.
If there is a need for a killing and the matter is exposed, the brothers can also be asked to take the blame without affecting their career.
Anyway, his father and Yuan Shao can come forward to save these brothers, as long as their reputation is not harmed.
~~
Early the next morning, Cao Cao took Cao Hong out and picked out a horse for Cao Hong.
The name of this horse is: Bai Hu.
When Cao Hong rode this horse away, he felt the sound of wind in his ears, as if his feet were not touching the ground.
He was very impressed by Cao Cao's generosity.
~~
Cao Cao said, "You don't have to be polite if you give a BMW to a hero. In the future, you and I will achieve great things and we will need BMWs."
Cao Hong swore that his younger brother would be loyal to his elder brother to the death.
Cao Cao nodded, and the two of them quickly left the city.
The two of them rushed to Shuofang County, which was far away. Fortunately, they had a red rabbit and a white swan. They could travel thousands of miles by day and eight hundred by night.
And with customs clearance documents, it is easy to handle, convenient and smooth.
They were really tired, or the BMW was really tired, so they rested in the city inn on the way. They usually didn't rest.
Because Cao Cao cared about Cai Wenji, and Cao Hong was very touched by Cao Cao's care for the little girl, so he vowed to accompany her to the death.
After they arrived at Shuofang County, Cao Cao and Cao Hong went around to inquire about the whereabouts of Cai Yong and his daughter. Whether they went to the only small inn in the sandy sky or the small wine shop in the county, the Cao brothers went there.
