Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 614 The Cao Brothers
Cao Pi is 16 years old this year, and Cao Zhi is only 11 years old this year. They usually stay at home to study, and rarely have the opportunity to go out alone.

This time, Wangde Building in Xuchang City organized an auction event, because it was held by the old man, so they got Cao Cao's special permission to come to Xuchang to support the old man.

After all, it was a commercial event, and it was not good for Cao Cao or Cao Ang, Cao Cao's successor, to come forward, but Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had no scruples about it, so they were the only two who came.

Cao Pi is a stable young man with both civil and military skills, but he looks like a honest young man on the surface, but in fact he is a person with a lot of eyes.

Cao Zhi was quick in thinking and highly intelligent. Xie Lingyun of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty even said that "there is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian monopolizes the Eight Dou".However, Cao Zhi's attainments in literature are extremely high, but he is not even worthy of carrying Cao Pi's shoes in politics.

But now they basically have no chance to compete for the successor. Cao Cao has already selected Cao Ang as the successor, a person who Cao Pi and Cao Zhi admire from the bottom of their hearts.

Cao Ang is much older than the second child Cao Pi.He is also capable of both civil and military affairs, and he is also a good hand in military affairs.

Moreover, Cao Ang is filial to his parents and loves his brothers very much, so he has been recognized by all Cao clansmen, not to mention Cao Ang also has the support of a group of veterans, advisers, and Lu Yan's lineage.

In this situation of absolute crushing, even if Cao Pi intends to compete for the position of the son, he has no chance of winning at all, so it is better to be honest and happy as a son.

Cao Zhi hasn't been back to Xuchang City for half a year, and everything he sees now feels very novel.

A group of more than ten of them wandered around Xuchang for a long time, when Cao Zhi suddenly said to Cao Pi: "Second brother, it's almost noon, let's go eat something first."

Originally, Cao Pi wanted to visit the legendary Goulan Land again, but Cao Zhi was still a little hindered by his side.

But it's not suitable to go to Goulan in broad daylight, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go to the restaurant in front to have something to eat."

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi led the guards into the restaurant.

This restaurant is owned by Chen Deng's family, and its business is very booming on weekdays.

Recently, because the auction has attracted a large number of outsiders to Xuchang, almost every restaurant in Xuchang is full, and it is even more difficult to find a seat.

After entering, a mistress greeted her.

Although Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are plainly dressed, their own temperament and the guards behind them all show their distinctive identities.

Xiaoer has been in contact with all kinds of people and has long practiced the ability to recognize people at a glance. When he saw Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and his party coming in, he immediately came up to greet him graciously and said, "My lords, the hall is full. There is one private room left."

Before Xiaoer finished speaking, Cao Zhi, who was always outspoken, said: "Shao Moji, we will order the private room, and all the good wine and food will be served. My brother is not short of money!"

"Two young masters, please follow me!" Hearing this, Xiao Er bent even lower.

Cao Pi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't listen to him. We'll ask for a private room, and we can choose some special dishes. As for the wine, let's forget it. Father doesn't let us drink."

Cao Zhi pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Why do you have to drink later? I really don't know where father got the rules from."

Cao Pi heard that Cao Zhi was slandering Cao Cao behind his back. If someone listened to it, what would happen?
"Crack!" In desperation, Cao Pi slapped Cao Zhi on the back of the head, and scolded in a low voice, "Don't talk about father behind his back. If someone listens to it, I can't protect you!"

Cao Zhi glanced calmly at Xiaoer who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and said softly, "I know, I know. Why don't you imitate your elder brother's long-windedness."

Before Cao Zhi could finish speaking, Cao Pi stretched out his hand and slapped Cao Zhi on the back of the head with a "slap", and yelled again in a low voice, "Don't talk about Big Brother behind your back!"

"."

After the two Cao brothers had eaten and drank their fill, they waited until the time was almost up before leaving the restaurant and heading towards Wangdelou.

There is still some distance from the Wangde Building, but the street is already crowded.All kinds of carriages parked on the side of the road, causing traffic jams.

Under the escort of the guards, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi arrived in front of Wangde Building smoothly.

There are more than a dozen guards with knives at the station outside the Nawangde Building. Compared with the lively and festive days, it looks unusually solemn and solemn now.

After the guards accompanying Cao Pi presented a special invitation letter, the guards of Wangdelou gave way to the passage.

Then a well-dressed female receptionist came out and led Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to the seats prepared for them.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi have special identities, and their seats are in an independent luxury box on the second floor.

Sitting in the box, you can see all the situation on the first floor, but because each box is covered by curtains, people outside can't see the specific situation in the box.This adds a sense of mystery to the box, and also unconsciously highlights the identities of those who can enter the box.

After entering the box, Cao Zhi stood by the curtain and looked down through the curtain, and suddenly exclaimed: "This place is really big!"

In order to prepare for this auction, Wangdelou has closed its doors to thank guests for more than a month.

All the tables and chairs used to serve diners on the first floor were removed and replaced by a table with a size of several square meters, and all other places were filled with seats.

The seats in the lobby on the first floor were almost full. Cao Zhi counted the heads, and there were probably fifty or so.

Cao Zhi looked up to the second floor again, and found that there were nine other boxes exactly like them.

However, the other boxes were also covered by curtains, and Cao Zhi couldn't see whether there was anyone in it, or who were sitting with precious people.

Just as Cao Zhi was looking at the venue curiously, a group of graceful-looking waitresses came in with some tea, fruits, and pastries.

Cao Zhi has always been informal. He took some fruit from the plate that the waitress had not put down, and asked Cao Pi, "Second brother, how much money did you bring?"

"Good tea!" Cao Pi took a sip of tea in his spare time. After the waitresses left, he replied, "Father told me to take down the 'Peerless Treasure' sponsored by my husband. How much money do you think I brought?"

The corners of Cao Zhi's eyes twitched, and he murmured, "Then why don't you sell your father?"

Cao Zhi dodged the pastries that Cao Pi threw at him, and asked with a smile: "You said Lu Hussar is already very rich, why does he still need to earn so much money?"

"Lu Huqi never made money for himself." Cao Pi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Most of the recently opened steel factories and shipyards were funded by him and Chen Liujun. How much money do you think they have to withstand such a situation?" Big consumption?"

Cao Zhi put away his smile, nodded and said, "Lu Hussar doesn't care about fame and money, he is a free and easy person, he can be called a role model for my generation!"

"Why don't you learn Lu Huqi's Wenzhi and martial arts? You know how to play like crazy every day." Cao Pi glanced at Cao Zhi and said.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi laughed and said: "Hahaha! We have already learned Lu Huqi's literary talents, and learning his free and easy will be enough!"

Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhi's wanton laughter, but sighed in his heart: "We are in Cao's house, so there is no real freedom to speak of."
