"Madam is -" Zhang Han didn't recognize her, and Su Wei next to her didn't even introduce her.
The maid bowed and said softly: "Sir, this is Mrs. Bian."
Bian Yuer!
Somehow, Zhang Han felt that this beautiful woman was even more beautiful.
"I've met Madam," Zhang Han saluted immediately.
"Well, Mrs. Ding is in poor health, so I'm afraid she won't be able to come today, but Zixiu is on the way, and Ning'er, Xian'er and Jie'er will all be here for the family dinner. I'll introduce Bo Chang to them one by one later."
Her voice was gentle and her eyes were lively and always watery. As she spoke, she led Zhang Han into the backyard to pay a visit to Cao Song first.
Cao Song was planting flowers and grass in the yard, with many maids accompanying him. When Zhang Han came in, he waved his servants away. When he turned to look at Zhang Han, he already showed a kind smile, as if he was outside the world. The man said softly: "Bo Chang, I heard that you were born in the army, and you are really strong and strong."
"Old Master, my name is Dian Wei, and this is sir," Dian Wei said with a blank look in his eyes.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Cao Song turned around slightly, still smiling and said: "I heard that Bo Chang was born in the army and fought bravely. He is really a young hero."
Zhang Han cupped his hands and saluted: "My lord, I've given you too much praise."
"Bo Chang doesn't have to be humble. If you hadn't reminded Ah Ma, he might not have sent troops to greet me. If I had been too slow for a moment, I'm afraid I would have died. This is a great kindness, and Mr. Cao will remember it in his heart."
Although most of the people died during this trip and tens of thousands of gold in property were lost, more than a dozen members of the Cao family's clan survived.
Especially those who are related by blood to Cao Cao, Cao De, etc.
Sure enough, this kind of great kindness cannot be done in just one meal. It’s good to keep it in your heart.
Zhang Han felt a little more comfortable after hearing this. Sure enough, sensible people have more clear ideas.
He immediately handed over his hands and said: "Old lord, I really over-praised you. I just reminded you, but it was my lord who really made the arrangements immediately. The ones who fought with my life were the soldiers and horses of Prime Minister Bao of Jibei. There was also a wine sacrifice plan, which should be rewarded." Those soldiers who died as a result will be compensated for their families.”
I haven't even accumulated any merit, which means that it is useless to the world and kind to the Cao family!
It's not meritorious service, it's just wiping one's butt!
You can carry your family property and go in batches. Dozens of cars hit the road together... almost the whole family hit the road together.
Zhang Han was full of complaints and displeasure in his heart. Such behavior was either due to ignorance of the dangers of the world, or he was distraught after learning about Cao Cao's victory over Xuzhou last year.
He was probably drifting, otherwise why would he have stopped to go to Tan County for a treat? The romantic feelings of Lao Cao's family may have been passed down from family.
"Yes," Cao Song nodded, feeling even more favorable towards Zhang Han. This boy was not only resourceful and capable in both civil and military affairs, but he was also so humble and would not be arrogant because of his merits and share his gratitude with others.
It is a rare thing to still remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our Cao family and the support they received from their families.
No wonder he no longer seeks merit for generals, but turns to serve as a civil servant to serve the common people. This is because he is kind and honest in his heart.
What a good boy.
"The pension will be replenished by myself, and I will be grateful to Yuncheng. Don't worry, Bo Chang. I'm here specifically to thank you today."
"I, I actually don't like to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies. In fact, it would be nice if I could have a steaming meal at home," Zhang Han began to seduce.
Dian Wei was heartbroken, alas...so am I.
A warm bed with a wife and children, who wouldn’t want to have them in troubled times?
Fighting hard, apart from fame, is not just to enjoy a piece of warmth.
Cao Song's eyes lit up. He and Cao Cao had learned about Zhang Han's origin and past, so he knew that Zhang Bo was often born in white, and his family had been separated, and his parents were unreliable. He was only in his early twenties, and he was the same age as Ang'er. age.
But Ang'er was Cao Cao's eldest son. He was adopted by the main wife, Mrs. Ding, and was also the eldest son. He grew up under the care of a clan of people, what does Bo Chang have?
Before you get any military exploits, you probably make a living by scavenging and begging? Or, under the scorching sun, they step on the dry soil to cultivate for others in exchange for some food.
In such a hard life, all he wanted was a hot meal... He was not talking about food, he was clearly talking about his family.
Cao Song gently stroked his long beard, his eyes becoming softer and kinder.
"Come and take your seat first."
He took Zhang Han's hand and walked into the hall.
Not long after, a lady came to pay her respects, but Madam Ding did not come. She only asked Cao Ang to accompany her, while Madam Bian was on the other side of Zhang Han.
Then there is a slim and beautiful girl, a little girl who has just learned to walk and still has her hair pulled up to the sky.
These two are Cao Xian and Cao Jie.
Boss Cao's eldest daughter, Cao Ning, did not come. Perhaps she had a cold temper, or she was too old to see guests.
After the banquet, Zhang Han and Cao Ang got acquainted and talked about many strategies to benefit the people through farming. During the dinner, Cao Ang was full of praise for the two strategies proposed by Zhang Han.
One is a device for collecting water for farming, saving a lot of manpower.
The second is to store water in streams and wells, which can cope with drying up of the land during severe droughts. At least it can ensure that some land can still produce food, and no harvest will be lost.
Both are long-term policies that benefit the people. If Yanzhou is always governed, this policy can always be used.
"But if we start a war and destroy the land, it will inevitably make people panic, or if we cannot defend Yanzhou, the people will also be separated and it will be difficult to implement government orders."
Zhang Han smiled and nodded after hearing this: "What Zixiu said is absolutely true. Therefore, the right way is to govern internally to enrich the people while also taking into account the maintenance of troops and the protection of the environment."
"Brother Bochang, I admire my brother's talents. I will visit you frequently in the future and ask for advice. Please give me your advice without hesitation."
"I don't dare preach," Zhang Han waved his hand, "I'd better come to visit. Cao's food is delicious, and Zixiu and I get along very well."
"Very good, very good!"
At this time, Cao Song, who had been taking a nap on the main seat, opened his eyes and smiled with an upward smile, "Bo Chang, I know that you are lonely and wandering for half your life. If you don't give up, you will call me "Weng Weng" from now on. .”
Sure enough, he understood what I meant, and he must have planned to find me a relative from the Cao family. In this way, I would be the son-in-law of the Cao family, and my status would be much higher in the future.
I can also serve Cao Weng to order Boss Cao, so that those Cao clan members who have complained about me dare not take any action, and then I can become invincible!
But we were born in heaven and earth, how can we live in depression under others? And licking the old man is equivalent to recognizing Boss Cao's adoptive father! Could it be that I am someone like Lu Bu? ?
I'm so angry, when will our adopted son stand up and become someone else's godfather! ?
"Weng Weng," Zhang Han bowed his hands and bowed respectfully.
Cao Song smiled happily and kindly. He only said that he would go home to have dinner after taking office, and said nothing else.
Zhang Han waited for a while and felt that he might not introduce the person so quickly, so he asked Cao Angxiang to send him out of the house.
After arriving at the door and saying goodbye, Dian Wei scratched his head and asked, "Sir, I have a question that I don't want to ask."
Do you have something to complain about too... Zhang Han was quite curious about who Dian Wei wanted to complain about. It seemed that he was also quite emotional, so he looked at him seriously and said, "Brother Dian, please tell me."
"Sir, are you no longer planning to take care of Dian's food? Do you think Dian has eaten too much and are you going to let the master take care of it?" Dian Wei said quietly, "Next, do you want the master to pay for your salary?"
"Yes -" Zhang Han almost subconsciously nodded honestly, but immediately frowned, then relaxed, and said bitterly: "So is this what Brother Dian thinks of me? Ha, you can just say so."
"No, sir, I just asked casually..." Zhang Han's frustrated attitude was like a sharp sword, which immediately cut into Dian Wei's heart, wondering if these words had hurt his husband's heart.
…
At night, in the Dongjun military camp.
After returning from the government office, Zhang Han went straight to the main tent. After reporting to the guards, he saw Cao Hong and Cao Ren coming out of it.
Cao Ren's face was expressionless, but Cao Hong puffed up his cheeks and stared at Zhang Han fiercely. When he was about to speak, Cao Ren pulled him away with a look.
Both of them were strong men as strong as lions, and they felt very oppressive, so Zhang Han could feel the resentment.
So I feel strange, I haven't offended them recently, right? Why do you look so angry but dare not speak out?
