Chapter 12 Mundane disturbing dreams

When Cao Ding lifted the quilt, Cao Cao was still snoring and dreaming his Spring and Autumn Dream! Cao Ding couldn't control much, he grabbed his ear and twisted it hard. "Ouch..." Cao Cao immediately opened his eyes, almost jumping up in pain, "Let go, let go!" "Bah! What time is it? The sun has already fucked his ass, Deer has gone to school, and you are still admiring the pillow! Are you really waiting for your father to reward you? Get dressed!" "I'm up, I'm up! Let go! Let go!" Cao Ding didn't intend to let go, instead he suppressed a smile and said, "Get up quickly! I have something to do today for you."

"Let go! As long as you let go, I'll do whatever you say... I'll take it, I'll take it! Fourth Uncle, please let go." Only then did Cao Ding let go, covering his belly and laughing: "Hahaha... Look at your mess, how can you look like a son of an official family? Put on your clothes quickly, don't feel ashamed." "I also said that I don't look like a son of an official, and you don't look like an elder..." Cao Cao grumbled for a while, yawned, squinted his eyes and fumbled for his clothes beside the couch.Right now his mind is in a mess, thinking about the chess game with his younger brother last night.What's the point of getting up early?It has been nearly a year since he returned to Beijing, and Cao Song has no intention of letting him do things at all.He squinted his eyes and scratched around, finally grabbed the clothes and put them on.

"Hey! What are you doing? Diao Xiao is wearing beautiful clothes? Do you want someone to type it out?" "Holding the filial piety? Who is the filial piety for?" Cao Cao yawned again and rubbed his eyes. "Hu Guang passed away last night, and now the civil and military officials of the whole court are busy mourning and mourning!" Cao Cao dawdled and took off the beautiful clothes again, muttering: "What old killer? It doesn't matter to me whether he dies or not, and I don't know him, so he insisted on asking me to pay tribute to him, which disturbed the dream... Father doesn't want to go, fourth uncle, wouldn't it be enough if you worked hard?"

"I am me, you men are your men, we are not on the same boat, don't get meddled together." Cao Ding looked at him awkwardly, "Don't worry, your father is waiting for you in the front hall." .But he ordered you to go!" "Really?" Cao Cao was taken aback. "Is this still false? He blamed you for not moving yet, and asked me to rush you." As soon as this sentence came out, it was hilarious.Daddy is angry, is that okay?I saw Cao Cao jumped up in fright, at least gathered his loose hair into a bun, and put on his clothes and sleeves in a panic, like an ant on a hot pot.When the straight-leg jacket was brought over, he stretched his legs into one trouser leg in a panic—boom!I fell down on my horse.

"Hahaha..." Cao Ding laughed so hard that his stomach ached, but he thought in his heart: "Brother has gone too far. He has thrown his son to others for four years. His heart is really terribly hard." Cao Cao didn't care about the pain from the fall, so he kicked and kicked on the ground to put his jacket on, and asked the servant to comb his hair.Where there is a master, there is a slave, and the servant is panicking now, and the wooden comb is trembling in his hand, but no matter how smooth he is, it won't fit smoothly.He didn't care much anymore, he hurriedly pinned the hairpin on, stepped into the shoes, and without a clean face, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face, and dragged Cao Ding to the front hall.

Cao Song's mansion in the capital was originally the Huumu (vacation) mansion of the old internal official Cao Teng.Since then, the mansion has taken on a special mission—a place for eunuchs to exchange news with some foreign officials.Later Cao Teng passed away, and Cao Song continued this practice as an official.The servants Fan Ling and Yilang Xu Xiang present here this morning are regular guests here. Although their gathering was stagnated for a period of time a few years ago due to Dou Wu's interference, it has long since calmed down. "I heard that Duan Jiong became an official in the capital because he was supported by brother Jugao. You must have gained a lot of benefits this time, right?" His official nickname is "Smiling Tiger".In stark contrast to him was Xu Xiang sitting beside him.The man with shaved eyebrows and long beard is good-looking, but he doesn't talk much, he just watches what others say. His nickname is "Silent Talk".

"Smiling tiger, it's useless for you to stop mentioning these things." Cao Song knew Fan Ling very well, and he spoke quite casually, "If you have something to say, let it go, don't waste your time." "Brother Cao is so straightforward!" Fan Ling still did not forget to flatter him, "I thought of a good thing and didn't dare to be self-reliant, so I came here to ask you two to come forward." "Oh? Good thing?" Cao Song cheered up. "Now that the emperor's seat is stable, and Empress Dowager Dou has been under house arrest for many years, I would like to invite the emperor's biological mother into the palace to take care of the matter." Fan Ling said proudly, "How is it? Do you two want to present this memorial with me? "

Cao Song smiled slightly when he heard this: What a cunning smiling tiger, this method of flattery is exhausted!The emperor is still young and has no one to rely on, so he naturally wants to kiss his mother, can he not miss his smiling face when he sees his mother, okay?Moreover, the emperor's biological mother, Shen Yuan nobleman Dong, will also be grateful to him once she enters the Forbidden Palace-this is called both ends to buy!In the future, the emperor and the queen mother will be the backing. Can he, Fan, not be promoted?Fortunately, he can figure it out, but this matter... "Not good!" Xu Xiang, who was silent, suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Fan Ling was puzzled. But Xu Xiang refused to give a reason: "If you want to do it yourself, I will wait to buy you a coffin." Fan Ling looked puzzled. "You are too! Saying one more word will kill you? What's the matter if you tell him?" Cao Song understood Xu Xiang's thoughts, "Smiling tiger, you are thinking about it, we must not do this. Wang Fu, Cao Jie It's only been a few years since the Dou family was brought down, and you haven't warmed up to embrace the emperor yet. You openly proposed to get another queen mother. Isn't this going to find them a husband's family? Wang Fu and Cao Jie have to do it themselves. It’s so good that they buy it themselves. Don’t forget that Queen Dowager Dou is still alive, and there is no edict to be abolished. You only want to be promoted, which annoys Wang Fu. He accuses you of “slandering the queen mother and presumptuously respecting concubines”, you are full of people. My head will be moved!"

"Haha... Maybe it's my neck itching! Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything about it." This is what makes Fan Ling special. No matter what he thinks in his heart, the smile on his face is always the same, " Let's talk about the present. Now that the old slicker Hu Guang is dead, no one will smear Wang Fu and Cao Jie. I think they two seem to be inseparable, and sooner or later they will be separated. At that time, shall we protect the king or Bao Cao?" "Whether it's Bao Wang or Bao Cao, we have to wait and see who can give us..." Having said that, Cao Cao ran in in a panic.I don't know if he tripped over the threshold or didn't stand still, he fell on the ground as soon as he entered the room, he got an idea and knelt down, and smiled with pain: "My son pays homage to father."

Seeing his son flustered and embarrassed, and two colleagues beside him staring at him, Cao Song was very annoyed, and he couldn't do it in public, so he reprimanded him: "What does it look like to be flustered! There is nothing in the eyes!" People? Don't you hurry to greet the two adults?" Only then did Cao Cao realize that Fan Ling and Xu Xiang were sitting on the guest seats with embarrassing expressions on their faces, and hurriedly saluted, "My nephew greets the two adults." Before Cao Song could speak, Fan Ling interrupted: "Nephew, raise your head." "Ah?" Cao Cao raised his head inexplicably. Fan Ling couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh: "My nephew! Do you comb your hair like this every day? Why don't you get a basin of water to take care of it!" Only then did Cao Cao realize that a large lock of hair was not combed at all, and was hanging loosely around his ears.Cao Song's face was already ashamed as a big red cloth: "It's useless! Get out! Kneel in the yard!" "Brother Jugao, why are you angry?" Xu Xiang hurriedly smoothed things over, "My nephew must have something urgent to come here in a hurry. If you discipline your son in front of us, we don't look good." "Yes yes yes." Fan Ling also stopped laughing. Cao Song squinted at his son: I really don't know what's going on with this kid!Although he was stubborn and stubborn when he was young, he was cute in appearance and still had some aura in his bones. Now that he is an adult, where is his cleverness?How did Lao Qi discipline me for the past four years, not to mention being sloppy and shapeless, and his appearance is becoming more and more mediocre.Everyone said that young and handsome people will be unhappy when they grow up. If you think about it, this is true... He felt as unhappy as eating flies, and he couldn't refute the face of Fan Ling and Xu Xiang, so he said bitterly: "If you don't look at the two For the sake of an adult, I must teach you a lesson today." "No. Thank you, my lords." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he quickly tucked the lock of hair behind his ears. "What are you doing in the living room early in the morning for no reason?" Hearing his father's question, Cao Cao knelt there in a daze: Didn't you ask me to come here?He hurriedly followed his armpit and glanced back at the fourth uncle who was standing outside. Seeing that Cao Ding was holding his belly like a bent over prawn, he realized that he was playing tricks on him again. "I asked you something, what are you looking around for?" Cao Song groaned angrily and patted the table. "Boy...baby, I heard from my fourth uncle..." How can I imitate this matter?Telling such a joke in front of these two outsiders, not only would he lose face, but he would still be punished and kneel down. "Speak quickly! Don't hesitate, it will get in the way of our important affairs." Cao Song became impatient. Cao Cao's eyes rolled and he had already made up his mind: "I just heard from my fourth uncle that the imperial prince Hu Gong died of illness, and I lost a loyal old minister in the imperial court. The children are too much... so sad..." It's really stupid to say something against his will, "So I came to tell my father Please order, the boy is going to the Hu Mansion to mourn and pay respects." "Oh, this kid has a heart!" Fan Ling slapped his thigh. Cao Song's anger gradually dissipated, and he nodded: "Well... this is still a human saying. Mr. Hu is the pillar of our country, and you should go to see him in terms of reason. But Mr. Hu's mansion is quite talkative. In terms of etiquette, you have to behave decently when you go there, even if you meet friends, don't make any noise. It's getting late, so prepare early when you go!" "No." Cao Cao got up and bowed politely, "My nephew asks the two adults for leave." "Well, I understand the rules." Xu Lian praised repeatedly, "Brother Jugao is really good at teaching children." Cao Song heaved a sigh of relief: Finally, I didn't lose face. Cao Cao also let out a sigh of relief: Finally, he has dealt with it.He cautiously withdrew from the living room and went far away until he could no longer hear the voices in the living room. Then he grabbed Cao Ding who was laughing behind him: "Fourth Uncle! No one like you can joke like this. Come sweating!" "Very good, very good..." Cao Ding raised his thumbs, "Your brain is really quick! Prepare your things and go to the Hu Mansion." "Am I really going to show filial piety to Hu Guang?!" Cao Cao was full of displeasure. "You have been invited down, why don't you go?" "You counted me hard." "Who plotted against you? I heard it clearly, you're going by yourself." Cao Ding said with a sneer. "Is it okay if I don't say that?" Cao Cao gave him a blank look. "Look at your unlucky face, and you stretch your neck and stare at me! I act like this for your own good, why hang out with a bunch of cronies all day long? You should also walk around more. If you run into someone else today Most of the younger ones are friends with Huan Huan. It will be useful to be an official in the future!" Cao Cao nodded helplessly: To become an official?In his mind, it was still eight hundred years later!Nowadays, there are many people who are filial and honest in their 40s and 50s, and their families can't get rid of it. What's the point of going to the officialdom so early?Besides, how can an official with such a family background have any good reputation?Wouldn't it be more beautiful to be a handsome young man and recite poems freely? "Fourth Uncle, if I come back early, how about we find a few servants to play Cuju?" "You know how to play in your head! De'er can do long stories now, so you should pay more attention to your homework!" "I'm currently reading the Thirteen Psalms by Sun Wuzi." "How many times have I read it, how can I improve? If I want to go to the battlefield, I have to take your turn! The art of war is also a subject of knowledge, but these classics and poems..." "Okay, okay!" Cao Cao waved his hand to stop him from talking, "Nephew just remember to work hard, and every uncle said that his ears are blistered." Cao Ding didn't care about it, and patted him: "Okay, the child has his own opinions when he grows up, so I won't talk about it. You go and prepare things, I have something to discuss with Fan Ling and Xu Xiang." "A 'smiling tiger', a 'silent', plus you, this reputable official is all together." Cao Ding smiled helplessly when he heard his banter, but watched him go to the back house sullenly, and asked: "Hey! You are buying funeral things, why are you going?" "What are you going to do? Put on your socks! You cheated on me early in the morning, and in such a hurry, I haven't even put on my socks yet!"
