Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 23

Silent all night.

Cao Cao slept until three in the morning before waking up, got up and dressed, and in the bed, Pan Jinlian tried her best to support herself, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait a minute, Dalang, I will wait for my servant to get up and dress you."

Cao Cao turned around and slapped his waist and hips: "It's all softened into a puddle of water, why bother to hold on, and sleep peacefully, and I'll talk to you again when I come back from my work."

Pan Jinlian gave a gentle "Yes", and said: "Then you come back earlier, the slave family will prepare a few side dishes carefully today."

Seeing her being so careless, Cao Cao laughed, turned his head and kissed her, and said, "Then make more arrangements, and just bring a few brothers to visit."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chang went downstairs, washed his mouth and face, and went out with a sword. The sun shone on his face, the spring breeze was slightly cold, and he felt full of energy.

There was a tea shop on the corner of the street. Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Zheng Tianshou, with a few companions, were sipping tea soup. When they saw Wuhan University going out, they rushed over, clasped their fists and said with a smile: "Brother, are you resting well?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I worked hard for days, washed overnight, and left. I will take you to get acquainted with this Yanggu County first, and come home to have wine at night."

Immediately, I took the people to walk through the streets and alleys of the county to get familiar with the roads in Fangshi, and then took them to inspect the storefront of my own store, asked for the account book, threw it to Zheng Tianshou to look through, and told the shopkeepers that this is the future. Head of business.

I was busy until the evening, and took a few people back to my home in Zishi Street.

Pan Jinlian opened the door to connect, and Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Zheng Tianshou sang a big song together and said: "Little brother pays homage to sister-in-law."

Pan Jinlian saw that these were all young men with extraordinary looks, she was afraid of offending Cao Cao, so she didn't dare to raise her eyes to take a closer look, she just smiled and said: "Since Dalang's brother is my family, please sit down, the dinner and dinner will be served immediately." That's fine."

After finishing speaking, he turned to get busy in the kitchen, not long after, exquisite dishes were brought to the table, and a urn of wine was opened and poured into bowls one by one.

Lu Fang and others all praised: "What a virtuous sister-in-law."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Jinlian, they are all brothers of our own family, you should also come to the table and have a drink together."

Pan Jinlian washed her hands after hearing the words, poured a glass of wine on the table, and said, "Although my Dalang is a good man, as the saying goes, a good man needs help from others. I only hope that the brothers will help him a lot in the future. I can't thank you for that." , pay with this glass of thin wine."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip to drink dry.

Lu Fang laughed and said: "Sister-in-law is so bold, please don't worry, since you recognize brother as the master, even if you are in danger, you must swear to the death to keep him safe."

Cao Cao pulled up Pan Jinlian's catkin and said with a smile: "It looks more and more like a mistress. My brothers are all knowledgeable heroes. If it weren't for your outstanding character, how could I respect you? Come on, you have been guarding the past few days. It’s not easy at home, so I would like to offer you a toast.”

Pan Jinlian was overjoyed when she heard the words, she hurriedly picked up the wine glass to touch him, and drank it down in one gulp.

She drank two glasses of quick wine in a row, and two blushes suddenly appeared on her cheeks, and she looked more and more charming.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Are you in a hurry? Let's eat some vegetables to calm down."

Guo Sheng said enviously: "My brother and sister-in-law are so loving. If I have a wife in the future, it will be good if I can be as harmonious as my brother and sister-in-law."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Brother, you are handsome and capable, far better than a brother. Why don't you have a beautiful woman to match? If you are in a hurry to find a wife, let your sister-in-law be a matchmaker. Which daughter in Yanggu County doesn't love you?" This good man?"

Guo Sheng was ashamed, and covered his face with a wine bowl, everyone laughed.

Cao Cao pointed to Zheng Tianshou again and said, "Jinlian, in a few days I will go to the rivers and lakes with two brothers Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to meet a group of heroes. If you have anything to do at home, you can find me, brother Zheng Tianshou. Let him take care of our family's business, you don't think he is born gentle, but he is extraordinary in martial arts, he will be able to handle everything properly."

Zheng Tianshou picked up the wine and said: "How dare you be a big brother and praise me? Sister-in-law, I have something to do in the future, but please tell me." After saying that, he raised his head and drank.

Everyone drank and ate food, and talked about the activities in the rivers and lakes. Until the wine was hot, Cao Cao, Lu and Guo made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and then sent them out, and each went back to the next place.

Back in the house, Pan Jinlian brewed a cup of strong tea, told Cao Cao to hangover, rolled up her sleeves, began to wash the pots and dishes, wiped the table and swept the floor. After finishing everything, she took a small bench and sat down in front of Cao Cao. , to accompany him to speak.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to hold her hand, but felt his fingers were cold, so he covered both her hands in his palm, and said with a smile, "It was my negligence, and the family is not short of money now, you have time to find it." Personal teeth, choose the clean and hardworking maid, or buy or hire, and let her do these chores."

Pan Jinlian only felt the heat in her heart, and thought to herself: This troublemaker really knows how to hurt women now.The smile on his face was like peach blossoms in March: "We have no children, how can we have many things to do? I will finish it by hand. If you want to do big things, you should keep more money by your side."

Cao Cao was delighted when he heard that, he stretched out his hand to touch her face and said, "Little silver lady, how come you are so virtuous now?"

Pan Jinlian was so shy that she pressed her face into his palm, and said in a low voice: "Women all over the world are like this. If you marry a hero, you are a virtuous lady. As long as a man convinces her, why can't she suffer? I think that Wang Baochuan suffered from the cold for 18 years because Xue Pinggui is a man who stands up to the sky, if he is a rascal, who would stick with him?"

If it was an ordinary man, he would be overwhelmed after hearing this. How generous is Cao Cao?Hearing this, he nodded again and again: "Your words are very reasonable. In fact, not only men and women, but also brothers and sisters. If you meet a real hero and treat him sincerely, why not die for him? If the superior is stupid, short-sighted and selfish Superficial, but also die for him, that is extremely stupid."

Sighing for a while, he said again: "But although I will spend a lot of money in the future, I have my own way to make money, and I can't save you anywhere. You just listen to me, find an honest and reliable maid, and spend your time at leisure." Wouldn't that be joyful?"

Pan Jinlian's eyes gradually burst into flames: "The happiness of a slave does not come from leisure, but depends on what your husband bestows..."

Cao Cao was flirted with by her, and his eyes immediately turned upside down: "Forget it, if I don't feed you well, how can I go out with peace of mind..."

In the small building that night, there was another night of spring wind and rain, so there is no need to say more.

The next day when Cao Cao got up, Pan Jinlian served him softly and had breakfast, put on some gold and silver, picked some gifts and went out. Lu Fang and Guo Sheng brought more than a dozen men and waited at the door with their horses. Cao Cao Saying goodbye to Pan Jinlian, asked the companions to bring presents, got on the horse and left.

More than ten horses rushed out of the county at one go, Lu Fang called out: "Brother, where are you going this trip?"

Cao Cao looked to the north and said: "Cangzhou Henghai County Chai Daguan, every time he sends books and gifts, he should have gone to visit, so let's go to Cangzhou first!"

Lu Fang and the others laughed and said, "Little Xuanfeng has a great reputation and donates money to others. It's a coincidence to see him."

Cangzhou is no less than miles away from Yanggu County. Cao Cao waited for several days to get there. He rested in the city overnight and set off the next day. After walking for half a day, he rushed to Zhuangzi where Chai Jin lived.

The manor house is extremely large, surrounded by canals dug in all directions, and there are big weeping poplar trees along the banks, and a long row of whitewashed walls can be seen in the shadows of the trees. The farmer was talking and joking, when he suddenly saw more than ten horses riding on him, they all stood up and shouted: "Wait, who are you waiting for? What are you doing here?"

Lu Fang said loudly: "Are you Chai Daguan and Zhuang Ke? Go report to the Daguan, and say that Wu Mengde, Wu Mengde, Wu Zhiwu, Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture, is here to pay a special visit!"

When the head farmer heard this, he immediately beamed with joy: "Grandpa, you've come. We high-ranking officials have to say Grandpa's name every day or two. I don't know how happy this is. Grandpa, wait a moment, the villain is here!" Report to the high officials!"

After finishing speaking, he slapped his butt with his heels, and rushed into the village like flying.

The rest of the farmers also hurried forward to lead the horses, and waited on everyone to get off the horses. Cao Cao looked at the surrounding scenery, nodded and smiled and said, "It's good for the villa, Mr. Chai is living a fairy life."
