Chapter 27 Mrs. Zhen

The General's Mansion in Yecheng was already in a mess, and Cao Jun rushed here as soon as he entered the city, not to mention that the Yuan family didn't have a man in charge, so it would be useless to have one.Who doesn't know that Cao Cao slaughtered five cities in Xuzhou and killed 70,000 soldiers?The subordinates in the front hall and Ling Shi panicked and ran away. Some of them couldn't even escape because of the lack of food in the city, so they simply sat down and waited for death.There are really some loyal Yuan family soldiers, clamoring to shoot arrows in the attic, and some climbed to the roof to unravel tiles and shoot down, hoping to use this high-walled compound for the final battle, and Cao Jun shot them into hedgehogs in the end.

The back house is more lively than the front hall, who can take care of whom when disaster strikes?Servants and servants everywhere ran away, and those who ran empty-handed were considered kind, and some people took advantage of the fire to fish in troubled waters—anyway, the Yuan brothers were not there, and any gold and silver treasures, such as Langyao and Congbi, should be grabbed before slipping away.The maids and servants were startled, and ran around the courtyard with their heads in their hands.Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back anymore, so she could only hug and cry with all the women's relatives - let fate.

Not long after, Cao Bing attacked the gate of the mansion, and all the corridors, verandas and pavilions were seized in a short time, causing a lot of noise.It's strange to say that those soldiers shouted back and shouted to make trouble, rushed across the road to the eaves of the backyard and stopped moving, only trapped the backyard tightly, and the shouting gradually subsided-Cao Cao had a military order, Do not disturb Yuan's family. Mrs. Liu is the general's wife after all, and Yuan Shao knew a little bit about how Yuan Shao attacked the city and seized land in the early years. Seeing that Cao Jun sealed the back house, the spears and halberds outside the courtyard were faintly visible, and Cao Bing on the attic stretched his neck to look here; his heart was cold. It's half the battle—it's never going to end well if it's caught or captured.Cao Cao played in the banner of serving the emperor to beg disobedience, and 80% of them wanted to declare the official punishment to show the law of the country. It would be easy for the older ones to suffer with a knife. I can't even think about the day.Now there is no difference between master and servant, maids, maids, and kabukis all gathered in the back hall, crying and discussing countermeasures...

I don't know how long it has passed, and suddenly I heard talking and laughing in the distance getting closer and closer. All the female relatives wiped away their tears and looked out through the window lattice. A group of people strolled from outside the courtyard, all wearing soft armor and wearing Wu Bian, with a sword hanging on his waist, surrounded by a young general like the stars holding the moon—this man is seven feet tall, and he is also a soft armor and leather whip, but he is wearing a scarlet cloak; his face is like a crown jade, and his teeth are white. Red, a pair of thick eyebrows slanted into the temples, a pair of eagle eyes are piercing, with ingot ears, a hooked nose, and a hairy beard above the chin and jaw. The hair on the temples is thick and curled up.The female family members still don't know that this handsome young man is Cao Pi, Cao Zihuan, the son of Cao Cao.

Cao Pi has gained a lot of knowledge today, and he was really dazzled when he entered Yecheng.Although he lived in Xudu for a long time, he thought that the best place under the emperor's feet, but after a comparison, he found out that Yuan's Yecheng was much richer than Xudu.Although many houses were destroyed by the war, the spacious and open streets and the rows of mansions cannot be concealed. With a little renovation, this is the most prosperous place in the world today.He walked side by side with Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, guarded by Duan Zhao, Ren Fu, Lu Zhao, etc., entered the city gate and walked along the north-south road, and arrived at the General's Mansion before he knew it. A noble mansion, with wide east and west gates and towering gates, several times larger than his own Sikong Mansion, it is simply a small palace.The three young masters decided to go in after discussing it. If someone else was stationed, it would take a lot of trouble. Just in time for Wang Zhong and Zhu Shuo to guard the gate, how could they stop him?

It is even more joyful to see inside: the majestic eaves of the pavilions, the tiles and the carved beasts, the walls of the Jinxiu Huatang are all painted with pepper mud, the evergreen trees are planted on the left and right sides of the gate, and the bronze beasts in the courtyard are shining. , the paintings on the screen wall are the famous officials of Yuan's ancestors in the past dynasties, and even the well platform is made of blue bricks of the same color.In the past few years, Zhu Shuo has been regarded by Wang Zhong quite differently. He was promoted to be a prince at a young age, and he personally led the way and took a few young masters around.How can the soldiers dare to stop Cao's nephew going in?Those who didn't know thought they were standing in front of the lord.All the courtyard gates, pavilion gates, and hall gates passed freely, and entered Yuan's back house in a daze.

As soon as the female relatives saw people coming, life-saving is the most important thing now. There were really a few loyal women and servants who volunteered, rushed to the front, knelt down, hugged the ankles of these people and cried: "Good-hearted generals, please forgive me!" Let me be my master!" Kowtowed loudly. Cao Pi was very surprised, although they were in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they were not considered generals, why do these women call themselves generals?He was young and didn't know the way of the people, but he didn't know that when the people in disorder saw soldiers, they called them generals.

Duan Zhao and Ren Fu are the son's guards, even though they are all women, they still dare not neglect them at all.They hurriedly kicked their feet hard, shouting: "Get out of the way! If you dare to come here again, I will kill you!" The group of women were kicked to the ground, and they did not dare to come forward, but knelt on the ground and cried. Cao Xiu was the first to understand: "I think we entered the back house by mistake, right?" Lu Zhao was born as a child of the Cao family, and he knows Cao Cao's temper best: "Let's go quickly. My lord has an order not to offend my family members. We have been shopping for a long time. Let's go out before the old man arrives."

But Zhu Shuo said: "A tiger's venom doesn't eat its young. Duke Cao's military laws are strict, but how can you blame him on him? Let's just hang out with us. I'll take care of any troubles!" Lu Zhaobai glanced at this kid—a little military lord, can you handle it? Cao Pi has won his father's approval for writing military songs and treating Hua Tuo since he left the army. What's wrong? If my father asks, I can explain it myself, and I don't need any of you to bear it." After speaking, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were afraid of violating military orders, but they were curious, so they dawdled for a long time, but they followed suit.

Zhu Shuo's eyes are not big, but his eyes are very sharp. Seeing a small gem-inlaid Ruyi on the ground, he quickly picked it up and held it in front of Cao Pi: "This is a good thing, young master, put it away." "Where did it come from?" "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Who knows which bastard stole it out and dropped it on the ground. We picked it up and it's ours!" Zhu Shuo stuffed it into Cao Pi's arms after speaking, lowered his head and picked up another flawless jade pendant, and put it in his arms , and drove away those women who kept looking around.

Lu Zhao was terrified when he saw it - if Cao Cao was willing to give the order, he would dare to kill, set fire and dig graves.But now there is no general order, so it would be terrible to secretly entrain and have someone search it out!Quickly scolded: "Boy! The property will be rewarded after entering the public, you are stealing everyone!" "What are you shouting about?" Zhu Shuo glared, "You can take it if you have the ability! The Yuan family will be ruined today, and this is all annihilation. If you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it!" The kneeling women stopped crying. After saying the word "Miemen", he sobbed again. Seeing his greedy face, Cao Pi laughed and cursed: "You are useless, this little yellow and white pearl and jade will ruin your beauty." Hearing this, Zhu Shuo had an idea, threw down the things in his hand and said with a flattering smile: "Young Master, of course you don't like these things, but there are better things that you haven't seen before." "Oh? What a good thing, take me to have a look." "Okay!" Zhu Shuo turned around and picked up a servant girl, "Take us to see your wife!" The woman was so frightened that she couldn't straighten her legs: "It's just... in the hall..." "Hmph!" Zhu Shuo pushed the maidservant to the ground, and then turned around with a smile on his face, "My lord, come with me, let's see the real treasure." Everyone was flustered when they heard that, Duan Zhao and the others needless to say, the wife Cao Zhen just married, Cao Xiu also made a marriage contract before going out to the battle, so I guessed the good things that Zhu Shuo said.But Cao Pi was only eighteen years old, and he didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, but he was still laughing and walking inside.Cao Zhen grabbed it and wanted to pull it back, but he struggled and said: "Zidan don't have to worry, just take a look and go." Zhu Shuohu pretended to be a tiger and entered the back hall. When all the female relatives saw it, they screamed in fright. He drew out his sword and stabbed at the door frame, shouting: "Stop making trouble! Anyone who dares to make a sound, I will chop him up!" Those women I'm used to living in seclusion and pampering myself, how have I ever seen such a madman?I was so frightened that I covered my mouth and didn't dare to cry, and I had to swallow my tears. Cao Pi shook his head and went to the hall, looked up - but saw that the hall was decorated beautifully, the furniture was luxurious, even the hooks of the curtains and curtains were made of copper, there were Nanmu Yaoqin and jadeite pitching pots on the tables, and the incense cauldron burned what kind of orchids Yao grass, tangy fragrance.But if you look down, it's too miserable—more than a dozen women collapsed on the ground trembling, with disheveled hair and disheveled skirts, some of them were blackened, and they couldn't tell the difference between master and servant. A few of them were too frightened to hold their heads and dare not look up. How could Duan Zhao, Ren Fu, and Lu Zhao dare to go in casually, and waited outside with their military blades out, hoping that the eldest son would come out soon, but Cao Pi had already planned.A son of seventeen or eighteen years old, without his father all year round, hangs out with a romantic literati like Liu Zhen all day, how can he not know about men and women?The maids in the mansion have already stolen a lot, and now they just want to see what stunning beauties are hidden in the majestic Yuan Mansion.He originally wanted to find some he liked and take them back to serve as maids, but now seeing such a woman's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but be disappointed. Zhu Shuo has been with Wang Zhong since he was in the army. Then Wang Zhong killed, robbed and ate human flesh in Guanzhong back then.Zhu Shuo was also close to Zhu Zhechi, and whispered in Cao Pi's ear, "All good things have to be washed and cleaned." Cao Pi smiled without saying a word, just nodded. Zhu Shuo seemed to have received a holy edict, and said in a loud voice: "You lowly servant girls are so disheveled and rude, wash your face clean! Our son is the son of Mr. Sikong Cao, can you offend me? ?” Mrs. Liu was sitting among this group of women. When she heard about washing her face, her heart trembled. She was naturally not afraid, but those daughter-in-laws and maids were afraid of being robbed and humiliated, so they deliberately dirty their faces.When he knew that this was the son of Cao Cao, a glimmer of hope arose.Now it doesn't matter what her identity or seniority is, she climbed a few steps and knelt down in front of Cao Pi: "Forgive me, my lord, I am Liu Shi, the surviving wife of General Yuan..." "Go, go!" Zhu Shuo kicked her away, "Where are there any other generals now? Quickly tell them to wash their faces!" When has this general's wife been beaten?Today, he was kicked by a rogue, Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, and the left and right maids rushed to help him. Cao Pi didn't reprimand Zhu Shuo, but just said lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, as long as you are obedient, you won't make things difficult for you. My father and son are generous and virtuous people." Lu Zhao sneered at the back—it's really raising children Follow your father, tell nonsense with your eyes open, enter the mansion and force the female relatives, how can you be generous and virtuous? Seeing that misfortune is imminent, how can those maids dare to resist?Hurriedly went to the back to bring a copper basin, trembling and sprinkled most of the water, put it on the ground and quickly avoided it.Zhu Shuo pointed to a woman in front of him: "Come here and wash!" The woman dared not go over, she walked backwards and crawled a few steps. "I don't know what's good!" Zhu Shuo rushed forward, grabbed the woman's hair and pressed it in the basin, causing the woman to struggle desperately as she choked. After "washing" a few times, he pulled the woman up again, pinched her chin and showed it to Cao Pi; seeing that Cao Pi was silent, he slapped back: "Go away! The one in red comes here!" example, the one behind didn't dare to resist anymore, crawled over crying, scooped up water and wiped his face.Zhu Shuo scolded: "Hurry up, Lao Tzu!" He grabbed the bun again and pressed down... Cao Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered to Cao Pi: "Is this kid too much?" Cao Pi only said lightly: "Take it easy." Then he continued to look at other young women. Mrs. Liu was heartbroken, and even suspected that she was in a nightmare—on the day Yuan Shao died, she once cut off the hair, disfigured and tortured to death five concubines who were competing with her for favor, but now it seems that her current fate may not be as good. Not as good as those five women!Liu Shi really wanted to bump her head to death in the hall, but a daughter-in-law was throwing herself in her arms and hugging her waist tightly, unable to move even if she wanted to. Cao Pi caught sight of the woman and said, "Who is in Ma'am's arms?" After coming in for a long time, he finally called out "Madam". Liu seems to be unable to bear it, but she can only say helplessly: "This is the wife of my son Yuan Xi." "Let her raise her head and show me." Cao Pi spoke frivolously and coldly, as if he was not a noble lady but a prostitute. Filled with humiliation, Mrs. Liu raised her daughter-in-law's head to show Cao Pi—only a young melon-seeded face, although a lot of dust was intentionally applied, it was still hard to hide her youthful beauty.Zhu Shuo saw that Cao Pi had chosen by himself, quickly threw away the maid in his hand, stepped forward and pulled Yuan Xi's wife, grabbed the hair bun and was about to press it into the basin. "Wait!" Cao Pi stopped drinking, stepped forward and grabbed the woman's wrist, and looked at it for a moment, "I'll do it myself... the water is already dirty, go change another basin." Zhu Shuo yelled at the maids again: "Did you hear me, change the basin quickly." "I told you to go!" Cao Pi glared at him, "Clean up the basin and bring me a basin of clean water." Zhu Shuo played with his prestige for a long time, but this time he was scolded, but he didn't even dare to breathe. He picked up the copper basin and went to the well platform in the yard, brushed and scrubbed and washed, and finally brought a full basin.With the previous lesson, he didn't dare to put it on the ground, and he personally lifted it in front of the woman.The eldest son rolled up his sleeves and personally held water to cleanse the woman's face.Where has this young lady encountered such a thing in her life?Dodging left and right is ashamed and afraid.Cao Pi was really patient in doing this, instead of being annoyed, he also gently washed every inch of her face with interest.Zhu Shuo was busy alone, and followed him from left to right with a basin in his hand. After washing, he couldn't find anything to wipe for a while, so the eldest son pulled up his cloak to dry it for her.Looking at her now, all the men inside and outside the hall are amazed - her complexion is crystal clear, her complexion is like snow, her small nose bridge is exquisite, her eyebrows are like ink, her eyes are full of autumn water, her lips are like cherry blossoms, and her chin is slightly raised; although her hair is messy, But it is even more charming; although the clothes are disheveled, it is better than slim; although it suffers from chaos, it is hard to hide its peerless youth; it is really a lotus flower that stands proudly without makeup! Everyone stood dumbfounded for a while, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the courtyard.Zhu Shuo was the first to react: "My lord, let's..." "Go away!" Cao Pi couldn't care less about Zhu Shuo, he kept his eyes on the beauty, looked left and right and became more and more delighted, and stroked her temple hair with his own hands; the beauty wanted to hide, but was caught by him She rubbed her shoulder, rubbed down her arm, and finally grasped her little hand tightly.Cao Pi has long been obsessed with watching, and he said silently: "There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, and everyone in the room poisons my intestines. Why do you want to be a mandarin duck, and Hu Jie is soaring together! Huang Xi Huang Xi lives from me..." At this time, a thick and gloomy voice came: "I have to entrust her (zi) tail to be my concubine forever." Cao Pi felt that the voice was familiar, so he came back to his senses and looked back——Cao Cao was standing at the entrance of the hall with glaring eyes. Lu Zhao, Duan Zhao, and Ren Fu were tied up with a rope at some point, and held in the hall by several soldiers. Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.As for the domineering Zhu Junhou just now, he has already slipped out of sight with oil on his feet. The beauty's face blushed, she quickly freed her hands and hid behind Mrs. Liu.Cao Pi felt scared, and quickly knelt down: "The child sees the father." Duan Zhao glanced at him, and muttered: "My lord, you have been yelling 'The lord is here' for a long time and you ignored me, you're so good!" One sentence made everyone want to laugh but dare not laugh, they kept their mouths shut and groaned. Cao Cao glared at his son viciously: "My father is busy with military affairs outside the city, and you are here to seek a phoenix. You are a good son!" "Children are unfilial!" "Are you simply unfilial?" "The child is guilty!" "Hmph!" Cao Cao laughed even more grinningly, "The old man passed down the military order that no one should offend the family members of the Yuan family. Now that my son has broken the law, if you don't punish the unruly soldiers... come here!" "Promise." All the generals and officers in the hall agreed in unison. "Tie up Zihuan, Zidan, and Wen Lie, pull them out, and draw thirty back flowers (back flowers, the punishment of the old-fashioned punishment)!" Cao Cao squeezed these words through his teeth. "Wait a minute!" Guo Jia was the first to kneel down to intercede, "Young Master is serving as an official in the army for the first time, and I don't know the law in the army. Please forgive me, my lord." For food, I will see you when you look up from now on, who is ashamed to watch the young masters being beaten?Even Xun You said: "Zi Huan is young and ignorant, let's forgive this time." "No!" Cao Cao snapped, "If you spare him today, will someone else spare him tomorrow? Just to clarify the military law! Others will hit you thirty, Zihuan will hit you fifty!" Cao Pi knelt and climbed a few steps to Cao Cao's feet, raised his head and said, "Father can beat and scold, but my son has something to ask for." "speak!" Cao Pi stood up, took three steps at a time, went to the Yuan family and pulled up the beauty, dragged her to the entrance of the hall and knelt down again: "My son wants to take this girl as his wife, please allow me." As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the hall, how could anyone in the world just grab a girl and get married?Even Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Lu Zhao, who was tied up in the hall, were startled. It turned out that he just thought he was just looking for a woman to play with, but it turned out to be real! When Cao Cao first arrived, he was pissed off by his son, and he didn't notice the girl's appearance. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing to himself—how long has your son been born?There are so many of them that I haven’t eaten or seen, so if you see one, it’s good. Cao Pi vowed again: "If I get this girl, I will have no regrets in my life." Cao Cao was angry and annoyed, saying such things in front of so many people was too embarrassing for the Cao family; but he took a look at the woman kneeling beside him holding hands, her black hair might indeed be somewhat pretty, and he suppressed his anger and said : "You look up!" Yuan Xi's wife gave a grievance, "Nuo", like a bird singing or a bird crying, and when she raised her head, Cao Cao took a breath and stepped back several steps. Children and wives too!" Everyone was curious and relieved, stretching their necks outside to witness, and they all exclaimed "噫". Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief - no regrets. Liu Shi, who was kneeling not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief - no worries about death. However, Xun You, the military advisor, was ashamed and whispered to Cao Cao, "Should we settle Mrs. Liu first and then discuss other matters?" One sentence reminded Cao Cao: "Which one is Mrs. Liu?" Mrs. Liu knelt for a long time before she added: "The civilian woman is the surviving wife of Yuan Benchu." Now she no longer dared to say that she is the wife of the great general. Cao Cao wanted to ask about this woman's background, but because there were too many people around, he turned his head and looked around. Seeing Wang Zhong standing far behind the crowd, he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Wang Zhong! I ordered you to bring all the women in the hall into the house." Avoid in the side courtyard, Haosheng will take care of it so that no intrusion is allowed, only the wife of the general is left behind. Military division Xun stays for a while, and the others retreat to the front hall to perform their duties, and they are not allowed to enter unless there is something important to do." "No." After the arrangement was passed on, the courtyard became lively.Everyone didn't dare to ask any more questions and retreated one after another, but Cao Pi was full of fascination, and followed Yuan Xi's wife to the side courtyard, reluctant to leave for a moment.As for the three of Duan Zhao who were tied up, someone had already untied the rope, and Cao Cao didn't mention it anymore, so it was all right.It took a long time for everyone to be in a mess before they gradually quieted down. Cao Cao saw that there was no one else, so he bowed deeply to Mrs. Liu: "My wife is shocked." He called Yuan Shao his brother in his early years, so he called him that way. "Folkwomen don't dare." Mrs. Liu bowed again. Cao Cao first inquired about the woman without mentioning anything else, and Mrs. Liu talked about it.It turned out that she was from Zhongshan Wuji, the daughter of the late Shangcai Ling Zhenyi, and her name was Zhen Mi (fu).Clever and beautiful, she likes to read poetry and books, and she is married to Yuan Xi.Because Yuan Xi left the town of Youzhou, Zhen Mi stayed in Yecheng to take care of her mother-in-law. She was five years older than Cao Pi, and now she was twenty-three. Xun You sat aside, and the more he listened, the more embarrassed he became: "This woman already has a husband, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be married to Ming Gong's son?" Because it was too bad for her reputation, the military adviser also took care of housework. Cao Cao didn't take it seriously: "The old man heard that Yuan Xi is a cautious person. It's a pity that the brother is evil and the younger brother is arrogant, and he can't be in the middle of it. The ancients said, 'Cultivate one's morality and conduct well, you can't bring blessings; tremble and be cautious, you can't avoid disasters '. Sooner or later, the old man will be the ghost of the knife. After he dies, what is the husband or not? My son loves to marry. But Zhongshan is far away, so I will borrow your house and marry in the camp in three days from now on!" "Promise." Mrs. Liu dared not say much while kneeling there, but her heart was mixed with joy and sorrow—the worry was that Yuan's wife had turned into an enemy, and Cao Cao even said in front of him that he would kill Yuan Xi, which shows that Yuan's man should be There is nothing left behind; the joy is that since then, I have a marriage with the Cao family, and my fortune has been saved. Sure enough, Cao Cao said: "Since the wives of the Yuan family passed on to my son, the old man will not make things difficult for you. All the women of the Yuan family continue to live in the mansion, and no one is allowed to harass them." In fact, it is house arrest. Throwing down these words, Cao Cao led Xun You down the hall, and Liu looked at his back and bowed again. He couldn't talk about pain or not in his heart, and he didn't dare to expect to see his son again.It's not easy to live in peace... Cao Cao's face was full of joy, but Xun You was depressed-it was too unethical to go into the shogunate and rob someone's daughter-in-law without taking care of government affairs.Back then, Cao Cao accepted Aunt Zhang Xiu and Qin Yilu's wife, and now Cao Pi is robbing the Yuan family's daughter-in-law again. Cao's father and son are so good! Unexpectedly, Wang Zhong came from the opposite side: "My lord, there are three people who would like to invite you to meet. The subordinates have arranged for them to wait in the east room!" Wang Zhong is a clever man, Cao Cao asked him to take care of the female family members, so he understood—— — Thieves don’t go empty-handed, the stunning beauty is snatched by his son, he can’t come here in vain, this is asking me to find a beauty for him! "You are very good at handling things." Cao Cao kept a serious face and reserved, "Lead the way." The three of them walked to a courtyard in the east while talking.Xun You didn't understand the reason and thought it was just a discovery of a sage, but when he got to the place, he found out that it was a woman's affair again, so he didn't go in at all, and waited outside angrily, Wang Zhong also found an excuse to stay outside.Cao Cao entered the room alone, but saw three young girls standing in the room—the two were beautifully dressed, wearing jingle bells like rich and noble fairies, and the other one was pretty and unpainted, like a maid. Those two with heavy make-up, one surnamed Zhao and the other surnamed Liu, are singers of the Yuan Mansion. Just now, they saw that Mrs. Zhen was favored by the young master, and holding a pipa would be a good home. It is better than falling into the hands of soldiers, so they wanted to see the virtuous Si Qi.Why wait for Wang Zhong to look for it?He combed his temples, repainted his hair, and hung up all the jewelry and hairpins that he was reluctant to wear on weekdays. When Cao Cao came in, he hurried forward to salute and announce his family name. Cao Cao saw that although the two women were not as good-looking as the Zhen family, they were also handsome, so he said straightforwardly: "Would you two be willing to follow the old man?" The second daughter Qi claimed it was, especially the little mouth surnamed Zhao was sweeter than eating honey: "Our sisters come from humble backgrounds, and being able to follow the adults is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!" Cao Cao laughed and hurriedly picked up, this The two of them took him by the arms, coquettishly and laughing, Xun You outside the door was speechless, and simply turned his face away. Cao Cao glanced again, and saw the girl standing still all the time, with delicate features and graceful figure; although her face was full of fear, she was even more pitiful—a maid was different from a kabuki, she spent all day serving her family members in the back house, Encountering today's situation, I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to cry. "What's your name?" The girl was so frightened that she couldn't speak a word when she heard his question. The kabuki surnamed Liu feared that Cao Cao would be angry, so she hurriedly replied for her, "Her name is Ah Ji." "Ah? Which word is that?" Cao Cao was very interested. The geisha surnamed Zhao was fluent in writing and ink. He took Cao Cao's hand, wrote this word with his fingers, and said: "This girl, both of her parents died since she was a child, and she is serving the wives in the house. You are a benevolent, my lord." It’s so kind, let’s just take sister Ah Ji together.” She was good at speaking and coaxing people, and after writing this word, she took Cao Cao’s beard and stroked it gently. Cao Cao was coaxed by her, shaking his head and shaking his head, he said: "Qu Yuan said: "Jianggao for Chaocheng, Beizhu for Ximi Festival. Birds are for the house, and Water Zhou is for the hall." Such a beautiful beauty should be in the In Jinxiu Huatang, it is a pity to be a maid." The kabuki surnamed Zhao said sweetly: "Then take care of her, my lord, and the three of us will serve you together..." "Hahaha... Wonderful! Wonderful!" "My lord!" Xun You outside couldn't listen any more, gritted his teeth, and came in with his head down, "Why did the soldiers come to take Hebei this time? How could you snatch the singer's maid as soon as you entered Yecheng? This, this... ..." He really didn't know what to say. "Steal?" Cao Cao said with a smile, "You two tell me, is this old man going to rob you?" The kabuki surnamed Zhao said: "My lord is wrong, our sisters are willing to follow Duke Cao." As soon as Xun You heard your wishes, it was really difficult to control this matter, so he said angrily, "My lord is a licentious and immoral person!" After saying that, he walked away. Cao Cao suddenly pushed away the two kabukis, grabbed his sleeves, and changed his tone in an instant: "Wait a minute, military commander! Why do you say that this old man is a licentious person?" Xun You was grabbed by one sleeve by him, but he was too embarrassed to turn his head, so he turned his back on him and said angrily, "You love women, you don't listen to advice!" "What's the harm in lusting for women?" "Government is a disaster for the country!" Xun You blurted out, "In the past, Jin had the chaos of Li Ji, and Chen had the disaster of Xia Ji, so the politicians should..." "One-sided words!" Cao Cao sternly taught, "In the past, Emperor Guangwu worked hard because of his admiration for the queen, and Sima Changqing became famous because of Zhuo Wenjun. The only way is that lust hurts the country, why not say that lust causes great things?" Xun You was speechless for a while when asked. "It can be seen that lusting for women is not necessarily licentious." Cao Cao slowly let go of his sleeves, and said again, "Besides, you say the word 'do not listen to advice'... What is the role of a military adviser?" Of course Xun You knew what his duty was: "Strategy, and staff the military aircraft!" "That's right." Cao Cao smiled, "Since that's the case, why did the military adviser ask the old man about her sexuality?" "This..." Xun You was at a loss for words again. "It shows that disobedience to advice may not be unreasonable." Cao Cao was complacent, "It can also be seen that this old man is not a licentious and unscrupulous person." Xun You was gagged by his unreasonable words, and had to make an apology. He turned around and clasped his fists, but he still refused to change his words: "My subordinate made a slip of the tongue for a while, and I hope the lord will forgive me. However, it is easy to miss the official duties and accept Yuan's family. It’s also hindering your reputation, please think twice, my lord..." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dai came to report: "My lord, all the Chinese books and files in the mansion have been collected according to your instructions, and all the treasures have been sealed up. The three captured More than a dozen officials are in custody in the west courtyard, waiting for the lord to send them down." After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Did you hear that? Everything is in order. The military adviser said that prostitution is a waste of business, but what did I miss? I, Cao, have been in power for half my life. How can you go against the behavior of a man?" At this point, he suddenly pointed at the servant girl, "I think this girl is quite beautiful, so I will send her to the military commander as a concubine, so as to comfort you for your years of service in the army. .” "Ah!" Xun You was taken aback, "You must!" "What's wrong?" Cao Cao grabbed his wrist, "Food and sex, as the sage said, it's okay for a military advisor to accept!" As he spoke, he beckoned Ah Ji to come over. Xun You is also in his fifties. He has always been upright and cautious, but Cao Cao caught him to death when he wanted to leave in a hurry. It was the first time Cao Cao saw him in such a state of embarrassment, and he was even more unwilling to let go. He said with a smile, "This is a beautiful thing, the military commander just accepts it with a smile, so why be ashamed? Come here... Ah Ji, quickly salute the military commander!" Ah Ji was already petrified, trembling all over, not knowing what to do.The two kabukis, Zhao and Li, are both smart people, and they immediately pulled up: "My good sister, why don't you salute this lord?" But she just didn't dare to go forward. Cao Cao glared: "You woman doesn't know how to flatter you! If you refuse to serve my military adviser, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" Hearing this, Ah Ji was frightened and trembling. Seeing Cao Cao's fierce expression, the gentleman who was being dragged by him was gentle and kind-hearted. He burst into tears, knelt down and grabbed Xun You's lapel: "My lord, help me!" ...My lord, save Ah Chi..." "Hahaha..." Cao Cao turned his anger into joy, "This woman is destined to be with the military master! If the military master refuses to accept her, I will kill her. It is up to me whether to save the military master or not." Xun You was in disarray, shy, angry, pitiful, and fearful, and hurriedly tugged at the skirt of his clothes: "Don't cry, girl, let's talk slowly... I'm already old... Oh! What should I do..." What Ah Ji caught was life-saving straw, how could he let it go?Just kept crying. Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Cao Cao persuaded him, and this time he called Biao directly: "Brother Gongda, don't refuse. I know that your children are dying. If this woman can give birth to a son and a half for you in the future, wouldn't it be A beautiful thing?" It is true that Xun You's knees withered.He had a son, Xun Ji, who was smart and eager to learn, but he died at the age of twenty. Later, he had a young son, Xun Shi, but he was a sick child.However, Xun You was the most strict-mouthed for many years in the army. At the beginning when Xin Pi and Xin Tao discussed to recruit Cao soldiers, when they arrived in Xudu, Xin Tao wanted to ask whether to send troops, but Xun You refused to disclose, let alone confide in outsiders about the suffering of his heirs.Now that Cao Cao mentioned this matter, it warmed his heart. But even so, Xun You still refused, and pulled back the skirt of his clothes cruelly, and said awe-inspiringly: "My Xun family is a famous family in Yingchuan, how can I rob someone's wife to do such an unrighteous thing?" "Oh? If that's the case..." Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, "Liu Dai! Take this maid out and chop her up!" Liu Dai doesn't care what is right and wrong, Cao Cao will follow what he has to say, and he will argue when he comes up.Ah Ji cried like a tearful person, and hugged Xun You's leg tightly: "My lord, save me! Help me! Ah Ji is willing to work for you all my life...don't kill me..." After all, Xun You was also soft-hearted. Looking at this lovely and pitiful girl, hearing her cry heart-rendingly, he suddenly hugged her: "I, I...I want it!" "Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed wickedly, "That's right! Congratulations..." He went out with Liu Dai. At some point, Guo Jia also ran over, and said with a frivolous face, "My lord is really biased, why don't you reward me after rewarding the military advisor?" "Hey! You came so fast!" Cao Cao knew that he was flirtatious, and he was also a fellow, "Could it be that you smelled fish and followed you, you greedy cat?" "I come with the fragrance of makeup." Guo Jia shook his head. "Is your boy's romantic debt too small?" "Mu Shaoai knows lust, and I never take women as trouble. As long as the master is willing to reward, comers will not be rejected. The more the better!" "There are plenty in the courtyard, you can pick them yourself. I will give you as much as you want!" "Follow orders." Guo Jia became more slick, "Humanistic King Wen of Zhou has a hundred sons. Could it be that all of them crawled out of the intestines of a mother? It can be seen that King Wen also has concubines. If we snatch women and concubines, we can be regarded as pursuing sages?" "Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed wildly, "Yes, yes, yes, both of us and the military master should study the way of saints tonight! Hahaha..." Xun You could hear clearly in the room, and covered his face with his sleeves even more, he was too ashamed to see anyone, trembling like a leaf in the wind.
