Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 6 The Difficult Road to Promotion

As a time traveler, in fact, there will be some spiritual estrangement with the aborigine parents who have been traversed into the world.

But Cao Ang has not encountered this problem so far.

Needless to say on Cao Cao's side, he and he share weal and woe, and we are closely related. The fate of father and son is basically bound together. Where can we go if there is a gap?

As for Mrs. Ding's words, Cao Ang's respect for her overwhelmed the so-called estrangement.

Ding is not Cao Ang's biological mother, but an adoptive mother who raised him as the main wife, and there is no blood relationship between the two.

But Mrs. Ding treats Cao Ang as her own, and treats him like her own son. Apart from the material foundation, she has never had a lot of maternal love and care since childhood.

For Cao Ang, who is familiar with history, there is one thing that impressed him even more.

That is, according to the original world line, in the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang unfortunately died in battle to cover Cao Cao's retreat.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Ding was furious, thinking that Cao Cao had killed her son, she resolutely declared a break with Cao Cao, packed up and went back to her mother's house.

At that time, Cao Cao was still in the rapid rise of his career. Mrs. Ding was able to be so decisive, which shows that in her heart, Cao Ang's status was no less than Cao Cao's.

It is not surprising that Cao Ang has respect for him who was raised before birth and can achieve such a level.

At this moment, the family is sitting on the soft couch, and the table in front of them is full of food, including exquisite pastries.

"Last night was so chaotic, you two had to go out no matter what you said. As a woman, I don't understand the important affairs of your family and country, but I am really worried about it, and I didn't sleep much all night."

"Simply got up before dawn, ordered the kitchen to prepare some pastries and snacks, thinking that you can eat them directly when you come back, and they have been warming on the cage all the time."

Cao Cao and Cao Ang were full of shame when they said the simple words, they quickly picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and they diverted the conversation with a few words.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Ding said to Cao Ang in a nonchalant manner while cleaning the table.

"Ang'er, you are not too young now. Mother thinks it's time for you to find a marriage. After all, when your father was your age, he married me for several years."

"It just so happens that in this city of Luoyang, where officials and aristocratic families gather, it's much easier to find a well-matched marriage. Mother just wondered if you would consider it?"

"Is there a girl you particularly like, or have you heard of the reputation of a lady? If not, it's okay for you to find out for me."

Ding's words made Cao Ang a little dumbfounded.

Good guy, my century-old plan, Cao Family Prosperity, has just started for a day, and the marriage urging came first.

Scratching his head, Cao Ang didn't know how to respond.

Of course he has no objection to marrying a wife. After all, if you marry a wife, you can still take concubines. As long as you marry someone who doesn't have a negative impact on him, or a proud wife or shrew, everything else is fine.

It's just that the timing is wrong.

Others may not understand it, but Cao Ang is very clear. Right now, Luoyang City is just a calm before the storm with explosives under its ass.

As long as Dong Zhuo has a clear understanding of the situation, he will immediately stand up and make troubles. At that time, the explosive barrels will be set off at one point, and Luoyang City, which was not peaceful at first, will instantly fall into greater chaos.

Internal and external struggles, factional strife will follow, serious bloodshed, and even a political crisis such as the abolition of the emperor.

It would be too unwise to talk about marriage seriously at this time.

Firstly, it will take a long time, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and secondly, it will inevitably be forced to stand in line because of this marriage, which may be the source of trouble.

Go ahead and talk about other things later.

So after rolling his eyeballs twice, Cao Ang cleared his throat and said perfunctorily with a haha.

"Mother, don't be so busy, the child will take care of himself. If there is a woman he likes, do you still need to urge him?"

Madam Ding snorted.

"You can just perfunctory your mother. I won't tell you about it now, and I will let you match eyes when my mother finds a suitable one."

After finishing speaking, Madam Ding turned her head to look at Cao Cao again, and said solemnly: "Husband, you have a lot of acquaintances in the court, so you should ask more questions on weekdays."

Cao Cao didn't dare to say much, and even claimed it was.

…………

After Mrs. Ding packed up the cakes and left the room, the father and son both breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other tacitly, and then laughed happily.

"You boy, in such a big Luoyang city, there are so many good-looking official ladies, you really don't have a single one that you like?"

Cao Ang waved his hand helplessly.

"Talk about it later, talk about it later."

In order to change the subject, Cao Ang got up to bring tea soup, filled a bowl for Cao Cao, and then asked curiously.

"Father, this time you welcome the emperor back and save the first meritorious service, will the reward you get make your official position rise by one promotion?"

When it came to business, Cao Cao immediately restrained the playful look on his face, and turned to thinking carefully.

After deducing for a while, Cao Cao said hesitantly: "It's hard to say, as a military officer, my promotion involves the change of military power."

"It's okay if someone pushes me. If no one comes forward to support me, then I will probably stay where I am."

Cao Ang understands the historical context, the overall trend, and the relationship between characters.

But when it comes to the actual operation, he is a little rusty. After all, he is not an aborigine of this era, nor has he experienced many years of ups and downs in the officialdom like Cao Cao. He really does not understand some rules.

So when Cao Cao said this, Cao Ang asked with some doubts: "If someone pushes you, the level of Lu Shangshu and Yuan Taifu should be enough, right?"

"Of course it's enough, but how can they stand up for me?"

Cao Cao sighed with some emotion, and then explained to his son.

"Lu Shangshu is a great Confucianist in the world, and his reputation is famous all over the world. If he wants to recommend me, there are only two possibilities."

"One is that I come from an orthodox Confucian school, and the other is that I have a close personal relationship with him, and it is worth his risk of damaging his reputation to vouch for me, but I have neither of these two."

"Then there is Grand Tutor Yuan Kai and Taizhong doctor Yang Biao. The words of these two people are enough, but they are both from the top families in the world, and their status is a bit too high."

"Four generations and three fathers, the ancestors have been officials for generations, and the disciples and old officials are all over the world. There is no shortage of pawns like me. Therefore, I am afraid that I will have to pay a high price if I want them to speak up."

These individuals all belong to insufficient hard conditions, or the success rate is extremely low.

After counting around, either they are equal to the above few, or their right to speak is too low, so they are not eligible for recommendation.

Only Situ Wangyun, who is also a member of the third company, has enough power to speak, and his airs are lower than Yang Biao and others, and he is not as difficult to deal with as Lu Zhi.

Very suitable candidate.
