Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 193 Fanwai, Why is Cao Cao a good wife?

In 170, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty built Ning for three years.

This year Cao Cao was 15 years old.

This year, Cao Song, Cao Cao's father, held the high position of "Da Honglu", one of the nine ministers of the Han Dynasty.

If it is said that the big man has the two most fat official positions, it must be the big secretary of agriculture and the big honglu!
The chief minister is in charge of the empire's finances and taxation, which is equivalent to managing the empire's big treasury;

Dahonglu is equivalent to keeping his small treasury for the emperor!
This year, Cao Song colluded with the two eunuchs Cao Jie and Wang Fu, and asked local officials who had internal ties to send materials and treasures to their own eunuchs in the name of paying taxes. Secret warehouse.

Only Cao Song knows about this secret warehouse!
These warehouses are mixed in the national treasury. Although the items are cataloged, they are not included in the imperial treasury management list. They belong to "private warehouses".

With the cooperation of the trident of Cao Song, Cao Jie, and Wang Fu, the Cao family became increasingly prosperous.

And this period of time can be regarded as the highlight moment of the Cao family.

this day...

The Cao Mansion welcomed a special guest, Cao Song's uncle Ding Gong came to visit!
The Ding family, who was born as a merchant, can naturally see that the Cao family today is not what it used to be when Ding Pei, Cao Cao's mother, married in. big tree.

Of course, with the current Ding family, it seems that it is not easy to climb up to the high school of the Cao family.

After the whole family of the Ding family discussed it, they could only send Cao Cao's uncle to visit. Although Cao Cao's mother Ding Pei passed away, after all...there is still the blood connection of Cao Cao, so it is natural for the two families to move around.

A side room.

At a table, Cao Song and Ding Gong sat and drank tea.

"Brother-in-law, the two daughters under my knees, 'Ding Hui' and 'Ding Xiang'...Do you still remember my brother-in-law?"

Ding Gong cut to the chase.

"Why don't you remember?" Cao Song nodded. Some time ago, when Ding Hui was in his [-]th year, when the ceremony was held, he took Cao Cao to participate.

In Cao Song's impression, Ding Hui's appearance is generally good-looking, hardworking and frugal, and Ding's family is well educated, but... the only thing is that Ding Hui has a very strong temper and reticent.

Of course, Cao Song also saw Ding Xiang, the youngest daughter of the Ding family, during the ceremony.

Although he is only 14 years old, he climbed up the soil like bamboo shoots after the rain. He has a very beautiful appearance and a very cheerful and lively personality.

From Cao Song's point of view, this kind of woman must be a daughter-in-law that every family is vying for after waiting for her. However, the eldest daughter Ding Hui has not yet agreed on a marriage, and it will not be the younger daughter's turn for a while.

"Haha..." After hearing Cao Song's reply, Ding Gong sighed jokingly. "The eldest daughter, Hui, is approaching her age, but she hasn't settled her marriage yet. Because of this, the whole family is quite depressed."

Hmm... Cao Song rolled his eyes.

He hasn't gotten over it yet. "Do you want me to help Hui'er pay attention among the officials' children?"

"No, no, no..." Ding Gong waved his hands again and again, seeing that Cao Song hadn't reacted, he could only tell the truth: "Brother-in-law, my father and mother have been thinking about my dead sister all the time, and I don't want to break the relationship between our two families!"

The stubborn Cao Song still didn't get over it, thinking that the Ding family was complaining that he, Cao Song, walked less.

Immediately apologized and said: "His uncle, you also know... In the past few years, when I was promoted to Dahonghe, I was so busy inside and outside the court that I was dizzy and didn't care about walking around. It was my fault. I will definitely..."

Cao Song wouldn't think about Cao Cao at all. After all, Cao Cao is only 15 years old now, and he is still a youthful monster boy who makes troubles all day long...

How could it be possible to link him with his marriage?

Ding Gong wondered in his heart, talking to Cao Song was really strenuous!

"Brother-in-law, I don't mean to blame you..." Ding Gong simply expressed his feelings: "My mother means that Hui'er is betrothed to Ah Man, and Hui'er is one year older than Ah Man. The so-called female freshman is not angry! We two Family can be regarded as more intimate, brother-in-law thinks... how?"

This…

All of a sudden, Cao Song suddenly realized!
First, the eyes widened, then the mouth opened, and finally the brows were raised...

What kind of temperament is his son Cao Man? As a father, he knows best. Damn, he is a troublemaker. How could he fall in love with Ding Hui, an unsmiling, ordinary-looking woman?
If it is changed to the ruddy, talkative and laughing cousin Ding Xiang, who looks lovely, it will not be the same... A Man can still agree!
Even, when he came back from Ding's house last time, Ah Mo specifically mentioned Ding Xiang to Cao Song, saying that he thought that girl was pretty good.

This…

Cao Song's brows tightened even more.

Besides, when he married Ding Pei back then, even if he had a low marriage, he couldn't make another low marriage this time, right?

With this in mind, Cao Song tried to refuse.

"Ah... That's it. Ah Man is still young and has not yet reached the weak crown. It is too impatient to talk about marriage at this time. Besides, he is wandering around all day long and out of shape. I'm afraid it will delay Hui'er!"

"What is this?" Ding Gong didn't mind at all. "This nephew, our Ding family watched him grow up, and his mother is the eldest daughter of our Ding family, with broken bones and tendons. Although she has been a little edgy these years, her heart is not bad, and she is not as weak as a crown. Don't be afraid."

"We don't need to do any ceremony, we just need to make a verbal agreement, exchange the birthday horoscope, and issue a letter of engagement. As for getting married, don't be busy, we can wait until he reaches the crown!"

uh... this...

The Ding family came prepared!

Cao Song is a bit messy. It's not that he looks down on the Ding family, but... that year when he was in Guan, Ah Man happened to be graduating from Taixue, and married his cousin right after graduation. Cao Cao has a rough temper, can you agree?

"Well, after all, it's Ah Man who is getting married, so I have to ask him what he means. Uncle might as well stay here for a day, and I'll call you back tomorrow."

Cao Song thought about it, he could ask Cao Man what he meant, if he refused, he could just prevaricate and let it go.

"It's the best." Ding Gong cupped his hands...

The two of them have settled on this initial intention!

...

...

that night.

Ah Mo came back very late, Cao Song knew even with his eyes closed that his son must have gone to hang out with Yuan Shao and others again, either to eat a banquet at someone else's house, or to do the evil thing of stealing a bride.

but…

Unlike usual, this time, Cao Song didn't scold him, but took the initiative to sit on the bed and ask a question first.

"What do you think of your cousin Ding Hui? It's the one from the last ceremony!"

Ding Hui?

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and there were only a few comments in his mind—not much talking, average appearance, even a little anemia, and no feeling of love at first sight at all.

In addition, Cao Cao thought of Ding Xiang, the cousin is not good, the cousin is very nice, very lively, very active, very fun... Cao Cao thinks that he can fight with her on the bed and off the bed!

"Cousin? I don't feel much, she's cold! If it's a cousin, it's good... My son likes it very much."

Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Cao Song interrupted directly. "I didn't ask Lilac!"

After a pause, Cao Songyu carefully explained to Cao Cao the history of his mother Ding Pei, the relationship between the Cao family and the Ding family, as well as the saying of "Kindness and Kinship" that the big man is quite particular about recently...

The meaning is very clear-damn, you marry your cousin when you graduate!how?

Unsurprisingly, Cao Cao sneered.

"No way? Just don't marry!"

He originally wanted to add that if it was his cousin, he could consider it, but after all, he was afraid that his father would beat him, so he immediately swallowed the words as they came to his lips.

Cao Song didn't make things difficult... nodded, "Okay..."

After all, I went through the process once, and I just took advantage of Cao Cao's words to reject my uncle, which was not hurtful...

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao leaned over and laughed jokingly, "Father, if you are in such a hurry to hug your grandson, you might as well find me two maidservants, the ones who can fight together on the bed at night!"

puff…

Cao Song almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

In this day and age, house maids are nothing, but... if there is no big marriage...

Taking a concubine or even impregnating a maidservant is simply a big deal in the dark!
This will be ridiculed by the entire Luoyang city.

Originally, Cao Song would not be so angry, but recently... the eldest son of the opposite Yuan family, Yuan Shao, let his personal servant girl become pregnant. Yuan Feng almost couldn't hold his head up. It's not over yet. Ah Man actually had the same idea.

Cao Song thought about it all of a sudden, hey, didn't that kid surnamed Yuan spoil his son!
You can't let A Man be like him.

Besides, Ah Man has not graduated from the Taixue yet, and he is getting together with so many women, which is unacceptable to Cao Song, who grew up in a eunuch's family since he was a child.

At this moment, Cao Song's expression turned green... sauce green!
Cao Cao completely ignored his father's expression... still smiling.

"Two can't do it, but one is fine... This way dad is satisfied, and the child feels comfortable all over!"

"Shut up!" Cao Song yelled, "Don't even think about it! Let me tell you, my father has promised your eldest uncle to marry you and Huier, and we will get married immediately when you graduate from Taixue. Parents' order, matchmaker's words , as a father, I’m telling you that this matter cannot be decided by you!”

After talking, Cao Song walked out the door angrily.

"Hmph!" Cao Cao pinched his waist, but his father said so, and he couldn't refute it...

The concepts of parents' order and matchmaker's words are still very profound in this era. Besides, if Cao Cao is disobedient and hangs out with Yuan Shaosi every day, where will the pocket money come from?After getting into trouble, who will help him settle it?

"Cut..." 15-year-old Cao Cao pouted.

"Ding Hui, Ding Hui..." He murmured out his cousin's name, feeling quite upset, but after chanting twice, Cao Cao changed his words. "Lilac, lilac...if only lilac."

Needless to say, when the clove was mentioned, Cao Cao's mood brightened a lot.

In the end, I could only shake my head helplessly...

Cao Cao knew that Ding's parents and daughters were not married yet?How can it be my sister's turn?

It's a pity... It's just that, no matter what, he just can't arouse the slightest interest in Ding Hui.

That night, Cao Cao yelled the name of "Lilac" seventeen times in his sleep!

The next day, Cao Song agreed to the Ding family's marriage. The two parties exchanged birth dates and agreed that when they returned from Qiao County, they would hold an engagement banquet and tell their relatives and friends.

Until, after Ding Gong left...

In the next few days, Cao Song calmed down, and when he thought about the matter again, he remembered something. Ding Hui is a sheep, and Ah Man is a horse, and the two are incompatible!
This kind of zodiac sign that restrains each other is not auspicious in this era!

Even... there are many examples of the predecessors, if a horse and a sheep get married, the final outcome will be - parting ways!
But the matter has come to this point, and it is irreversible. I can only hope that the theory of mutual restraint of zodiac signs is not true!

In this way, the marriage between Cao Cao and Ding Hui can be regarded as the beginning.

...

...

In April of the same year, it was a good time for the Dragon Boat Festival.

At the age of 42, Cao Song, a high-spirited and good-natured Dahonglu, brought Cao Cao, a 15-year-old young man who was ignorant and unrequited in love, back to Qiaopei's hometown.

This trip has many meanings.

One is returning home;
The second is to worship Cao Teng and rebuild the cemetery;
The third is to entertain relatives and friends and tell them the news of their son's engagement to Ding's parents and daughters.

As for the fourth thing, it is to find a secret place to build a mansion with a dark room to hide the embezzled property.

In May...when Cao Song was busy with these important matters, Cao Cao who returned to Qiaopei was like a hawk, leading Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others all day long to fight for justice... saying that he wanted to uphold justice, In fact, it's much ado about nothing and playing around!
It just so happens that the Qin family in Qiaopei is also a big family. Qin Yue, the eldest son of the Qin family, didn't like Cao Cao, so he gathered a group of gangsters to deal with Cao Cao.

It's a pity... I didn't hit the right person, and beat up Xia Houyuan, who looked very much like Cao Cao.

Xiahouyuan is two years younger than Caocao. He looks like Caocao in size and features, but...Xiahouyuan is fairer and Caocao is darker!
Even Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong when they were young often mistook them...

When the news spread that Xia Houyuan was beaten badly, Cao Cao became angry, and immediately got a group of friends to use sticks to seek justice!

This battle was extremely fierce, Cao Cao was injured six times, Cao Cao was the most injured, and he lost in sight.

However, Cao Song got the news ahead of time, and relying on his official position, he asked a group of guards to disguise themselves and help his son beat up this group of people!

Never thought that Cao Cao was in a hurry, so he directly pulled out a knife on the dragon boat of the Dragon Boat Festival and killed Qin Yue!
Suddenly, the entire Guoyang River exploded.

——Official Shao Qin Yue was kicked and beaten, and died of his injuries!

The dragon boat murder case at the Dragon Boat Festival spread throughout Qiao County in an instant. The deceased Qin Yue was sixteen years old. His father was the prefect of Chaoge County, and many uncles in the family were officials in various cities and counties of Han Dynasty.

With such an important case, even the magistrate Lu of Qiao County did not dare to neglect it, but... But when it was found out that the murderer was Cao Cao, the son of Cao Song, Dahonglu, he was immediately embarrassed.

Although the Qin family is a rich family, the Cao family is not a cheap lamp, but this case is no small matter, the case is not settled, and the people complain about Nanping.

The county magistrate Lu discussed with Lu Boshe, the magistrate of Qiao County, for one night, and decided to throw the hot potato to Cao Song...

It was in the Cao Mansion that County Magistrate Lu and Cao Song met for the first time, and the atmosphere was particularly strange.

County Magistrate Lu told in detail when Qin Yue was killed. In fact... How could Cao Song not know?It was he who secretly sent someone to help his son teach the young official a lesson, but who would have thought that Cao Cao would be so stubborn, so he would just pull out his knife and chop him off.

Thanks to Cao Song, who once served as the captain of Sili, he is very familiar with the twists and turns in the middle.

"Brother Lu, this is a big deal! Mr. Cao's return to his hometown this time is to serve His Majesty and Da Changqiu in the palace. He didn't expect the dog to have a connection with this accident!"

"Did he do the case? Mr. Cao doesn't know either. Let me ask brother Lu back after I see him. If it's really a dog, Mr. Cao will not tolerate it."

After a few words, what Cao Song said was watertight...

Especially the word "accident" in it, he emphasized his tone, County Mayor Lu is so shrewd, he immediately smelled it, and nodded immediately.

"What Da Honglu said is what it is, that's what it is! People's grievances are boiling, and the lower officials only need to have an explanation to both the superiors and the subordinates."

Cao Song's strategy is to slow down the army, and the county magistrate Lu is also well versed in the way of being an official...

Speaking of this, it is up to Cao Song what to do next.

at this time…

Cao Song ran to Xiahouyuan's house angrily, and saw Cao Cao, Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren lying on the ground and sleeping. Wine bowls and wine jugs!
call…

call…

Cao Song couldn't help shouting, reminding Cao Cao.

"You...you did a good job!"

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren all woke up immediately, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and jumped up from the ground to salute Cao Song.

Cao Cao yawned. "Father... what's the matter? Why wake me up so early? I haven't woken up yet!"

"What did you do?" Cao Song was furious.

"What are you doing, baby?" Cao Cao scratched his head and yawned again.

"The one named Qin Yue is dead, and you still deny it?"

As soon as Cao Song said this, the atmosphere in the whole room froze, only Cao Cao scratched his head. "I killed it. I thought I couldn't kill him with a single knife, but I didn't expect that I couldn't help but die immediately!"

"you…"

Cao Song was furious, his pupils widened suddenly, and his chest was filled with flames, which could almost burn Cao Cao beyond recognition.

Cao Hong interceded from the side: "Uncle, Ah Man was also injured, and the injury was also very serious... If it weren't for the help of a few men in black, I am afraid that Ah Man would be beaten to death by them!"

Cao Song ignored Cao Hong's words...

"You...you have created a catastrophe, do you know it!"

This remark blurted out, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren quickly reminded Cao Cao. "Ah Man, hurry up and kneel...your father is angry."

I never thought that instead of kneeling, Cao Cao raised his chest and raised his head. "Who asked him to say that I'm coming? If you kill him, kill him, and just let the child die for him!"

puff…

Cao Song almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and his tears were about to burst out. Although he was quite strict with Cao Cao on weekdays, but... But from the bottom of his heart, Cao Song could not allow Cao Cao to have trouble!

Snapped…

With a slap across the face, Cao Song pointed at Cao Cao, his voice full of tears: "You resist your life? Why don't you resist me! You're mad at me!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao turned his back, pinched his waist with his hands, bit his lips with his teeth, and his eyes were angry, but he didn't say a word, and he never admitted his mistake!
Only then did Xia Houyuan tell the truth.

It turned out that Xia Houyuan was beaten first, and then Qin Yue provocatively said that Cao Cao was the grandson of the eunuch, why pretend to be noble?Eggless thing!

Cao Cao cut him off in a rage!
Is this... another eunuch raising a grandson?

Cao Song was also drunk. Every time Cao Cao fights, it's because the eunuch raised his grandson. He fought Yuan Shu in Luoyang before, and now he fights Qin Yue in Qiao County. Cao Song owes Cao Cao what he deserves!

"Father, the child is willing to risk his life, but only asks the father to bury the son with the grandfather!"

Cao Cao's righteous words...

At this moment, after all, Cao Song was also moved... Alas, alas...

He gave Cao Cao a hard look, sighed, and walked away with heavy steps.

In the end... the old man had to deal with the goods that his son broke through.

...

that night...

Cao Song talked with Xiahou Yuan's father, Xiahou servant, by candlelight at night.

With a "bang", Cao Song knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down before he could speak.

"Cousin, I have already asked Miaocai before, and he is willing to take the blame for Ah Cong! And before that, he had an enmity with Qin Yue, and he said it out of emotion and reason...Cousin, I know that this makes sense No, but it's the only way right now."

"I am an official of the imperial court. If the Qin family knows that Ah Man did it, they will definitely force Ah Man to die for atonement, and it will also involve the future of our Cao family and Xiahou family. However, if Miaocai is going to take the blame, Qin The family has a lot of anger, and if I use money to manage it, maybe I can talk to the Qin family and let them withdraw the lawsuit, and I can also secretly spend money to rescue Miaocai!"

As soon as this remark came out...Xia Houpu also hesitated!

His son Xiahouyuan is smart and meticulous, he is righteous, modest and polite, he is the hope of Xiahou's family.

Cao Song saw Xia Houpu's hesitation and had to tell the last lie.

"Cousin, there is something I shouldn't have told you, but things have come to this, I... I can only say, since my adoptive father Cao Teng died, I... I can't have children!"

This is serious nonsense!

Huo…

Xia Hou servant's face turned cold when he heard the words!
In his opinion, this is a secret that only close relatives can confide in, and he was immediately astonished!

No wonder Cao Song has only one son, A Man, and Cao Song doesn't take concubines. It turns out...it turns out that he doesn't have this ability.

Well... if Cao Cao has three advantages and two disadvantages, then the Cao family will be unparalleled!

Thinking of this, Xia Houpu nodded, and Cao Song kowtowed again, three times in a row, then slowly got up, and the whole person seemed to be relieved all of a sudden.

Xia Houyuan took the blame...Cao Cao didn't know, otherwise, at this period, as the No. [-] Lengtouqing, he would definitely not allow it!
When Cao Song took Xiahouyuan away, Xiahoupu arranged his son's clothes for the last time...

Looking at this cousin who seemed to be saying goodbye to life and death, Cao Song's tone was extremely firm. "Cousin, just don't worry, I'll take Miaocai away, and I'll definitely bring you back intact!"

...

here...

Xia Houyuan confessed that he killed Qin Lang and was thrown into prison!
Cao Song gave Lu County Magistrate "guidance" based on his rich experience in handling cases.

——"Dragon Boat Festival has a lot of people, there are disputes, trample on each other, it is possible to accidentally stab someone with a knife, at most it is just an accident, not a serious crime! Now that Xia Houyuan came to plead guilty, at best it was an unintentional mistake, a crime Not to die!"

This... how could magistrate Lu not understand?
Of course he can agree, but the Qin family won't do it!

However, although the Qin family is not forgiving, the criminal is a son of a commoner. This is like punching cotton, and he can only agree to Cao Song's private affairs!

Xia Houyuan's family compensated the Qin family 20 yuan, and gave an additional [-] yuan to the county magistrate Lu, and... the county magistrate, the master Bo, it can be said that all the top and bottom of the government have been regulated!

Sometimes that's the way it is, money can make a fool of yourself!
Originally it was a murder to pay for his life, but because of the money, Xia Houyuan was sentenced for an unintentional mistake and released in court.

Because in this case…

Lu Boshe, the county magistrate, helped Cao Song a lot, and the two talked happily again!

It is learned that Lu Boshe studied under Zheng Xuan, and he and Cao Song are brothers in the same school.

For a while, Cao Song only felt that it was too late to meet each other, but the two were actually burning heaven and offering sacrifices to the earth, and they became friends of eight worshippers!
Cao Song asked Cao Cao to call Lu Boshe "uncle", and Lu Boshe called Cao Cao a good nephew. Taking advantage of Lu Boshe's return to Chenggao County to visit relatives, Cao Song and his son went to his village to play!
In order to thank Xia Houyuan, Cao Song took Xia Houyuan with him and regarded him as his godson.

They arranged for him to study in Taixue, to ensure that he would be able to embark on an official career in the future, and even handed over all the huge sums of money embezzled to Xia Houpu to take care of!

Then just to be sure...

Cao Song asked Qiao Xuan to change the name of Cao Cao, and changed "Cao Yu Cao Jili" to "Cao Cao Cao Mengde" to completely wash away the notoriety of murder!
...

...

Half a year later, Cao Song's eldest uncle, Ding Gong from the Ding family, visited again.

In the final analysis, he was not at ease in his heart. The relatives and friends in Qiao County had told him, but what about Luoyang?
The engagement banquet between Ding Hui and Cao Cao will also be held in Luoyang, and the Cao family will offer a betrothal gift, and the matter will be settled.

And this time...

Cao Song got more thoughtful and proposed to let his godson Xia Houyuan marry Ding's daughter Ding Xiang!

The Ding family was unwilling at first, but Cao Song promised that in the future, he would help his godson Xia Houyuan become an official and would not wrong the daughter of the Ding family.

In this way, the two marriages were settled.

"Book of Rites" mentioned that the marriage of a man and a woman is not only a matter of two young people, but also "the best of the two surnames". Marriage is a major event, and etiquette cannot be abandoned!
In the following year, on June 26, Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan were carefully scrubbed clean.

Sitting in the smoke cage for another hour, the whole body will be scented.Sit in the carriage, take Lipin and the entourage band, Chuichuidada to Ding's house for the engagement wedding.

The Cao family was full of relatives and friends, and there was an endless stream of people who came to give gifts.

In this way, the two teenagers became brothers-in-law from life-and-death cousins, and even followed them all their lives, never turning their backs!

It is also because of this that the person Cao Cao trusts the most, the person who most assuredly entrusts the military power to him, is always a good brother, a good brother-in-law Xia Houyuan!
According to official history records, Cao Cao cried the worst time in his life, not Dian Wei, Bao Xin, Cao Song, Cao Ang... but Xia Houyuan.

...

173, the second year of Xiping!

Cao Song made an appointment with Xia Hou servant to visit Ding's house, and agreed on the number of betrothal gifts and the specific wedding date.

Even though Cao Song is already full of greed...

But I still have to pretend to be poor——

——Ten catties of gold (brass), five thousand coins, five bolts of silk, ten bolts of silk, ten bolts of cotton cloth, ten bolts of silk, ten bolts of spun yarn, and other ceremonial items. Bright red satin, beaming.

This is planning to go to Ding's family to hire.

This is actually considered a medium price among the dowry gifts of the big man.

The Ding family accepted the gift money, and the wedding date was set on June 26!

On this day, Cao Cao met the two daughters of the Ding family again in Ding's mansion.

Ding Hui is still as quiet as a cool breeze and a cold moon, but lilacs are fragrant and fragrant like April lilacs, with a pleasant smile.

"Alas..." Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart, if only he married Lilac.

But...friends' wives don't cheat, occasionally ride...ah, bah, Cao Cao almost looked down on himself, he knew that Xia Houyuan took the blame for him, and made up his mind for his kindness, even if he rode all over the world, he would never Qi Miaocai's wife!
But the more I think about it...

The more itchy and unbearable my heart became.

The so-called - those who cannot get will always be in turmoil, and those who are favored will have nothing to fear!

One month to the wedding...

This is the most painful month Cao Cao has ever lived. At the age when he was just beginning to fall in love, the woman he obviously likes is by his side, but he can't touch it...

And watch her marry her good brother.

The mental torment caused Cao Cao's attitude towards women to change dramatically. Originally, the phrase "riding a wife all over the world" was just a talk, but now... this thought is getting more and more intense!
He began to fantasize about Lilac, her ears, her nose, her body...

But rationality has occupied the high ground in my heart time and time again.

Even if he failed the people of the world, Cao Cao would never lose Miaocai!
It is precisely this kind of mood that has caused Cao Cao's view of love to undergo earth-shaking changes time and time again.

Everyone wants to be a Cao thief?
Who in the world does not envy the prime minister?

But... How many people can understand the difficulties in Cao Cao's heart?

Ding Xiang gave birth to eight cubs for Xia Houyuan in her life, and every time she gave birth to a cub, Cao Cao's mood was mixed!

It is also precisely that every time she gives birth to a cub, Cao Cao will always accept someone else's daughter-in-law, so as to vent the desire in her heart that is hopeful but not unattainable!

Who would have known that it only took one summer for the innocent Cao to become the wife Cao!

...

...

June 26!
The Cao family and the Ding family got married, Cao Cao married Ding Hui, Xia Houyuan married Ding Xiang!

The chief eunuch, Da Changqiu, Wang Fu, and Shang Shuling Cao Jie were both invited, and even Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other twelve rising eunuchs were also invited.

Even more than half of Sangong, Jiuqing, and 72 doctors came, and even the natal family of the current Empress Song also came!

Cao Song is going to hold a big event this time.

Also on this day, firecrackers were set off on Luoyang East Street.

The sedan chairs of Ding Hui and Ding Xiang separated on the East Street, the elder sister's sedan chair went to Cao's house in front, and the younger sister's sedan chair walked behind to Xiahou's house.

The banquets of the Cao family and Xiahou's family are held together...

Officials with more than two thousand shi take their seats at Cao's house;

Under two thousand shi, such as Cao Song's subordinates, relatives, those who seek him out for official positions, and those who flatter him, all sit at Xiahou's house.

The banquets on both sides are the same, and the style of the wedding banquet is the same, but the level of the mansion is different.

There was also a small episode in the middle. Song Qi, the younger brother of the current Empress Song, fell in love with Cao Song's niece, who was also Cao Cao's cousin. After asking about her unmarried status, she immediately showed a strong interest.

After going back and forth, the Cao family became relatives with Empress Song...Of course, this is all for later!
However, this also laid the groundwork for the Cao family being implicated in the Empress Song case and falling from a high place in an instant...!

That night... the red candles were all extinguished, and it was a good night!
The woman in front of him is not the cousin Ding Xiang in his heart, but the icy cousin Ding Hui, Cao Cao is inevitably dull for a while...

He yawned, but fell asleep, leaving Ding Hui with longing and disappointed eyes!

Originally, that's all!
But the next day, early in the morning...

When Cao Cao woke up, he found himself lying on the maid's bed in the outer room, and beside him was Ding Hui's personal maid, whose surname Cao Cao only remembered was Liu!
Seeing himself naked, Cao Cao immediately understood something...

Something more terrifying than not having consummated the house happened. After he woke up at night, he found the wrong room, went to the wrong bed, and handed over his virginity to Liu Shi, the maidservant of his wife!

This…

In fact, when the ancient round house...

Especially in big families, the wife's maidservant must stand guard in front of the door. This is to prevent the wife from feeling unwell, or when the husband is still interested, to do something for the wife...

But...Cao Cao hadn't consummated the marriage with his wife, but he slept with this maid first. This is another story.

Facing Cao Cao, this Mrs. Liu is neither a proud rose nor a fragrant lily, but a bouquet of blooming narcissus, which is cool and fragrant, and immediately captured Cao Cao's pity heart!

The most special thing is her eyes, from which Cao Cao found a hint of "lilac" eyes.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't have time to appreciate it...

Ding Hui's resentful eyes had already burst out!

Putting the wife in the main house, and the maid as the original husband and wife... Cao Cao's head seemed to explode, if his cousin made a fuss, he would have to be scolded by his father again.

Of course, as Ding Hui, she was also very wronged. It was her cousin who married her cousin, and no one asked her how she felt!

From her point of view, this was a boring marriage, just a routine, but now it's a good thing, it suddenly became a estranged enemy!

It wasn't until the second night that Cao Cao finally consummated the marriage with his cousin.

Ding Hui is an extremely strong woman, although she did not fight against Cao Cao when she was newly married...

But he used a more terrifying and far-reaching method than that-he never gave his heart to Cao Cao throughout his life.

That's why, for so many years, Ding Hui has been infertile... It's not that the husband and wife are in harmony, but that there is a gap in their hearts!

Exactly, something even more terrifying happened!
Three months later, Ding Hui's stomach didn't respond, but the maid Liu was pregnant first!

Hearing the news, Cao Song exploded.

It’s true—following a good man to learn a good man, following a master to learn a false god, Cao Song was drunk, his son was following Yuan Shao, and also learned that his wife is not pregnant, but the maid has a son!

The eldest son of Yuan Shao next door, Yuan Tan, is a "role model"!

Cao Song issued an ultimatum to Cao Cao that Ding Hui must also be pregnant as soon as possible!

It's a pity...Ding Hui's stomach didn't move until Cao Ang was born.

Cao Cao was afraid of his father's complaints, and wanted to plow the land several times with his heart, but Ding Hui was angry and refused to serve him, which made Cao Cao very angry, so he had to go to his maid Liu to relieve his passion.

So... the eldest daughter Cao Mu was born again!

Cao Song was convinced, and even forced Cao Cao to stay in the mansion, and Ding Hui could not go out unless she was pregnant.

It's a pity that Cao Cao encountered a big problem this time. This was the only time in his life that he took the initiative to admit defeat.

Her belly is as hard to bulge as a stone, and her period is like a tide, and she never misses the appointment!
Absolutely... Cao Cao is convinced!

At the same time, for Ding Hui, the grudge in her heart has deepened!

Until five years later, the maid Liu died of dystocia when she gave birth to her second son, Cao Shuo. Her last request was to keep the child as hard as possible, saying that she would let the child repay the Cao family, repay Cao Cao, and repay Mrs. Ding on her behalf...

Until this moment, all the resentment and grievances of Ding Hui disappeared, and she transferred all the guilt and love in her heart to Cao Ang, Cao Mu, and Cao Shuo!

Especially after Cao Shuo's early death, Cao Ang and Cao Mu are almost all Ding Hui's sustenance...

From then on, Ding Hui also wanted a child she gave birth to, so as to eliminate all the resentment towards Cao Cao, but it's a pity... After one year, her stomach still didn't respond!

Gradually, she refused to share the bed with Cao Cao on the grounds that Cao Ang was lonely.

As for Cao Song...it seems that he was completely disappointed in Ding Hui's stomach.

He also hoped that his offspring would prosper, but he could only whisper to Cao Cao that he could take in a few more concubines. It would be best if he had children with others to ensure that he could have children, so that he could have more grandchildren. Only then did the series of married wives follow!

Again…

Everyone said that Cao Cao had a weird hobby and married a lot of wives, but...who knows what happened to Cao Cao when he was young?
How to vent the hatred and melancholy in his heart?

Expectations and Disappointments for Ding Hui

Desire for cloves but not available!

Guilty towards Mrs. Liu...

On top of that, the grandfather entrusted his father, hoping that the descendants of the Cao family will prosper!
All of these have created Cao Cao today, and also created this-"Why is Cao Cao a good wife?" "

...

...

Ps: All stories are created based on historical facts, some places are slightly added!
Although it is a side story, it consumes more energy than the main story, and this is also the story of Cao Cao that few people know!
If necessary, add an element that conforms to the settings in this book.

That was Lu Yu's mother, Mrs. Lu, her eyes were very much like Lilac, and her maidservant Mrs. Liu!
