Lord Yuan

Chapter 76 Cao Ren goes with him
After Cao Song ordered his servants to pack Luoyang's daily necessities, the two of them headed to Cao's ancestral hall with serious faces.

Here are stored the ancestral tablets of the Cao family for thousands of years, and Cao Cao remembered most of the ancestral names very clearly.

Especially Fei Tinghou and Cao Teng.

Cao Cao saw that the memorial tablet of his adoptive grandfather was carved with countless gold objects, even ranking higher than those of his great-grandfathers.

When he was young, Cao Cao was puzzled by this, and Cao Song explained the reason to him.

Although the Cao family has lived in Qiao County for generations and was powerful for a while, in the end they only dominated in Qiao County. There were even several aristocratic families in the same county to check and balance each other.

If Cao Teng, the great eunuch, had not come from the Cao family in Qiao County, there would be no chance for Cao Song to become bigger and stronger as his adopted son.

It can be said that Cao Teng alone can support the entire Cao family.

Naturally, its tablet is of far greater merit than the grandfathers of the same rank. For the Cao family, they can live without those great-grandfathers, but they cannot live without Cao Teng.

After Cao Cao learned about it, he remained silent for a long time.

At that time, Cao Song noticed that Cao Cao was strange and asked.

Cao Cao was majestic and majestic, but at a young age, he said solemnly, "When I grow up, I will naturally become a man of astonishment like my grandfather, and lead the Cao family to a higher level."

Cao Song was shocked for a moment. People said that children's words are unbridled, let alone in this ancestral hall.

But Cao Song had high hopes for Cao Cao and devoted everything he had to cultivating Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten the heroic words of his youth, and allowed himself and his brother Cao Ren to become eagles and lackeys, and fell into ruin.

For this reason, Cao Song cursed Cao Cao more than once, but with little effect.

Today, Cao Cao will go to Luoyang to become an official, and Cao Song specially brought him to the ancestral hall.

The two looked straight.

Even Cao Cao, who often acted indifferently, put away his posture at this time and waited solemnly.

When Cao Song kowtowed in front of him, Cao Cao followed closely behind.

"Cao'er has gone far away now, and I don't know when he will be able to return home, so I came here to see all my ancestors to protect him and give him a smooth journey." Cao Song whispered in a low voice.

After doing this, Cao Song suddenly laughed.

Cao Cao didn't understand what he meant.

"Fuck, do you still remember what you said back then?"

Cao Cao's thoughts were flying.

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Cao Song stepped forward angrily and patted his back to remind him: "But I still want to reach the level of my grandfather and lead my Cao family to a higher level."

Cao Song's tone suddenly became solemn: "It's not the ear of drama."

Seeing this, Cao Cao was in a daze.

He nodded hurriedly: "If you do it, it will happen."

"It's best this way. My father can't go any further now. The burden of the Cao family's future will be transferred to your shoulders. While my father can still support you for a few years, I can make contributions as soon as possible."

Cao Cao suddenly felt as if his mind was being twitched, an invisible string was plucked, and his eyes instantly became a little moist: "Father said it too early, and his body is in the prime of life, why did he say such unlucky words."

However, Cao Song shook his head and said softly in a daze: "Since you have received favor from Yuan Shao, and if he sincerely treats Cao'er, it is not a bad idea for you to serve as an official under him for the time being."

Cao Cao looked at his father whose attitude suddenly changed, and was a little confused for a moment.

Cao Song then said: "How about you contact Yuan Shao?"

Cao Cao said without hesitation: "It is the behavior of a gentleman to treat others like a spring breeze and to interact with them so that it is difficult for them to resist."

"So good, so good."

Cao Cao felt strange when he saw his father becoming increasingly disinterested.

The two of them paid homage to the tablets in the ancestral hall again and again.Return to the lobby.

The servants have also packed up everything.

at this time.

A muscular man suddenly passed over the servant and trotted over.

From a distance, Cao Cao saw Cao Ren's happy face.

As they approached, Cao Ren, who was obviously much stronger than Cao Cao, couldn't stop the joy on his face.

Cao Song's face didn't look very good.

When Cao Cao was young, he was a lackey. A large part of the reason was that Cao Ren did not cultivate his character and induced Cao Cao.

Cao Song naturally didn't have a good face.

Cao Cao seemed to have not seen his father's face and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Cao Ren, who was out of breath from running, took a deep breath and said, "Is it true or not that my brother was recruited by the Taifu to serve as an official in the court?"

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Song and nodded: "Indeed."

"I know that my brother is extraordinary. This journey has been difficult. I am willing to overcome all obstacles and clear the obstacles for my brother." Cao Ren cheered with joy on his face.

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly turned dark and pretended to be angry: "I am entering the court as an official, not a bandit, so why do you need to protect me?"

"It is better for you to study scriptures at home and be wise and far-sighted. Don't follow the path of flying eagles and lackeys again."

Cao Cao warned earnestly.

If it were said that his previous debauchery was all to get rid of his post-eunuch status, even though it did not work, it could be considered that he had put in a lot of effort for this purpose.

Now, since he knew that those scholars were incompetent and would not be able to integrate into them even if they were willing to degenerate, Cao Cao naturally did not want his younger brother to get stuck in them again.

Although Cao Ren's face was rugged, his childishness was not concealed at all.

He is far less magnanimous than the most famous city-defending general in the world in later generations.

Oddly enough, no matter how much his father tried to persuade Cao Ren, he just turned a deaf ear and thought of himself.

However, Cao Ren would always keep Cao Cao's words in his heart.

As if he had already understood these words from his brother, Cao Ren nodded heavily: "Listen to your brother's words."

This move surprised Cao Song, who was looking down on him. He looked attentively at Cao Cao, who had not changed much.

He could not imagine when his son would have such prestige. Cao Ren's reputation in the clan has always been like a stone in a latrine, and a hard head like iron.

Now, under Cao Cao's words, he just let it go.

Weird.

"Since my brother is going to Luoyang as an official, he naturally needs someone to take care of him. Why don't we go with him all the way to be a companion."

The enthusiasm on Cao Ren's face and the sincerity in his eyes made Cao Cao on the side not sure how to answer.

On the contrary, Cao Song suddenly said: "Since Cao Ren has this intention, let him go. With him by his side, I feel a little more at ease as a father."

For the first time, his uncle didn't look at him with an ugly expression. Cao Ren couldn't help but feel happy. He quickly walked up to Cao Song and gave him a few slaps on the head.

From time to time, he muttered "Thank you uncle, thank you uncle."

After this series of operations, it seemed that Cao Song had become a good person. Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed when he saw that the gap between his uncle and nephew had been resolved.

"Thank you father."
