Cao Thief

Chapter 378
Huang Chengyan had to come!
If it is said that before, he thought that Cao Peng was not worthy of being the son-in-law of the Huang family, but now that Cao Peng has become famous, he is no longer a villager in Zhongyang.

The relationship between Huang Chengyan and Huang Zu is not very good.

For Huang Yueying's elopement with Cao Peng, Huang Zu has always been disapproving.

In this, in addition to the factors of Cao Peng's background, there are also reasons for Huang She.If the Huang family recognized Cao Peng, wouldn't it mean that what Huang She did back then was wrong?You know, because of Cao Peng's incident, Huang Zu and the Lumenshan Pang family almost tore their skins apart.If it weren't for Liu Bei's mediation, and the Jingxiang family's talk, the two families would ease up a little.But even so, at every gathering, Mr. Pang De didn't have a good face towards Huang Zu, what's more, he would mock Huang Zu in a strange way...

Fortunately, Pang Ji passed away.

This also greatly reduced the strength of the Lumenshan Pang family in Jingxiang.

Pang Degong was unwilling to become an official, so that Pang was weaker than Huang Zu in the officialdom.

As for Huang Zu, he didn't want to make too much trouble with Pang.After all, the big Pang Shangshu is not there, and the little Pang Shangshu still has enough background.

Huang Chengyan has a good relationship with Mr. Pang De, and they hang around Lumen Mountain or Shuijing Villa all the year round.

The matter of Huang Yueying has become the laughing stock of celebrities in Jingxiang after dinner.However, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng's "Eight Hundred Characters" came out, and after learning from Hu Zhao as his teacher, the voice of ridicule became smaller and smaller, and many people became friends with Huang Chengyan intentionally or unintentionally.

When Cao Peng returned to his clan to recognize his ancestors, and after the Zhongyang Cao family officially returned to the Cao family, more and more people visited Huang Chengyan.

When the Guandu battle started, the eyes of the nine counties of Jingxiang were all focused on Xudu.

It was at this time that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and Cao Peng's "San Zi Jing", which almost contained the romantic deeds of celebrities in the past, suddenly rose up, and he was faintly popular.We only say "Yin Yin" instead of "completed" because Cao Peng has not published any classic works.The [-]-character prose and the Three-Character Classic are both works of elementary school, so they are naturally inferior to those classics.

But even so, those who visited Huang Chengyan flocked to him.

Mr. Pang De once praised in private: "Huang Xun has a unique vision and has a plan long ago.

Today, Xiao Cao's "Three Character Classic" is highly regarded by people all over the world. If there is another classic published in the future, it will be everyone's joy and congratulations sooner or later. "

In his heart, Duke Pang De was even more angry with Huang Zu.

Although he said that he was indifferent to fame and wealth and did not want to be an official, he was still a mortal after all.

As a mortal, there will be joy and anger.

Back then he had already recognized Cao Peng as his disciple, if Huang Zu hadn't been a hindrance, Cao Peng would have already worshiped him under the Lumen Mountain now.

Now, Lumen Mountain may not be famous all over the world.

So yellowish...

Every time he thinks about this matter, Mr. Pang De can't help but sigh with emotion.How can he feel at ease when he has achieved the name of Hu Kongming for nothing?
Only then did Huang Chengyan notice that it had been nearly three years since his daughter left with Cao Peng.

He also knew that the marriage between Huang Yueying and Cao Peng was a foregone conclusion, and no external force could obstruct it.In addition, Chen Ji sent people to propose marriage before, which also made Huang Chengyan shake his mind.Don't look at Liu Biao and Cao Cao as hostile, but private communication has never been cut off.

During the Three Kingdoms era, it was not uncommon for people to marry each other even though they were on opposite sides.

As a Jiangxia family, the Huang family has their own way of survival.Although Huang Zu is attached to Liu Biao, it does not mean that Huang Chengyan agrees with Liu Biao.

Not putting all eggs in one basket is the survival rule of the family.

Therefore, even if Liu Biao knew that Huang Chengyan's daughter had gone with Cao Peng, he would not embarrass Huang Chengyan. This is an unwritten rule.

When Huang Chengyan was a guest at Shuijing Villa, Sima Hui mentioned this matter again.

Huang Chengyan knew that it was time to make a decision...

So, Huang Chengyan returned to Jiangxia, packed his bags, and took more than [-] people, all the way north to Xudu.

These more than three hundred young and strong are all the children of Gan Ning who stayed in Jingzhou back then.Gan Ning defected to Liu Biao from Berkshire and brought eight hundred children with him.Later, Gan Ning went to Xudu with Cao Peng, and the eight hundred children were taken in by Huang Chengyan.After more than two years, many people have settled down in Jiangxia and don't want to wander around anymore.But there is still a group of young people who are still willing to go north with Huang Chengyan.And most of these people are brave when they were Jinfan bandits together with Gan Ning.Huang Chengyan did not force himself, and only brought 300 people, including his family, to Xudu.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++
Cao Ji didn't like Jiangxia Huang's family.

Back then, his family almost died at the hands of Huang She.Although many years have passed, Cao Ji still feels afraid in retrospect.

But this will not hinder his love for Huang Yueying.

This little girl understood Cao Ji's thoughts very well, and she didn't have the temperament of a young lady.

The most important thing is that the little girl has a lot of knowledge, and she is quite good at those so-called "curious tricks".For example, in making knives, Huang Yueying restored the sword-making and forging skills of the ancient Yue people according to the records of some ancient books, which improved Cao Ji's knife-making skills.

Since then, Cao Gongche and Cao Gongli have been covered by Huang Yueying's wisdom.

This also made Cao Ji and Huang Yueying have many common topics.

Therefore, when Huang Chengyan came to the door, Cao Ji still gave him enough respect.The two sides negotiated in an extremely friendly atmosphere, and finally finalized the wedding date of Huang Yueying and Cao Peng.But Huang Yueying and Cao Peng, after years of hard work, finally achieved a positive result.

Cao Peng sat aside and listened quietly.

At such times, there is no room for him to speak.

He stared straight at a young man sitting on Huang Chengyan's lower head.

This young man is not tall, estimated to be less than 170 centimeters, and his age is about twenty.Horizontal eyebrows, triangular eyes, flat nose bridge, dark complexion.His hair was slightly yellow, and he looked extremely ugly.He sat just below Huang Chengyan, which also showed his identity, only under Huang Chengyan.He kept silent like an old monk in samadhi, but when he sensed that someone was looking at him, the young man also opened his eyes and looked over.

Immediately, the young man grinned at Cao Peng.

pretty ugly!
The appearance of this product is really...

Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a chug in his heart, and secretly shuddered.

This guy looks even uglier than Dian Wei.

Dian Wei Chou is ugly, but he has a heroic spirit; but the young man in front of him has nothing to do with "heroic martial arts".If there must be a definition... obscene, it is obscene, extremely obscene.Wretched looks, wretched smile, the whole person is wretched.

When Cao Peng came to the living room, Huang Yueying had already gone down.

Cao Ji was talking to Huang Chengyan, so he didn't introduce him to Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, I forgot to introduce you just now... This one is not an outsider. If it wasn't for some accidents back then, you might still be from the same family."

Noticing the curiosity in Cao Peng's eyes, Huang Chengyan suddenly spoke.

Same door?

Cao Peng was taken aback.

But the young man stood up, smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Pang Tong, I have heard about Cao Babai for a long time, and I am here to pay a visit."

In the words, there is a kind of pride unique to the children of the aristocratic family.

Even though it was a visit, he just bowed his hands and bowed slightly...

Cao Peng couldn't help but shrink his pupils. Looking at the ugly young man in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

"Dare to ask, but Mr. Yuan An's son?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and went forward, "I've heard about Shi Yuan's name for a long time, and seeing him today, I'm really lucky."

After all, Cao Peng bowed to the ground.

Cao Peng's move really shocked Pang Tong.

Huang Chengyan on the side showed even more satisfaction and nodded slightly.

Pang Tong showed embarrassment, and quickly stood up to return the salute.Just now, he just bowed his hand, but Cao Peng returned the gift, which made Pang Tong feel flattered.He is the son of Pang Ji, and he studied under Pang Degong and Sima Decao, but in terms of reputation, he is far inferior to Cao Peng.Cao Peng's solemn salute made Pang Tong feel ashamed, and the arrogance he had just now disappeared instantly.

"Cao Babai also knows me?"

"I heard that there are two sages and four friends in Shuijing Villa, and the name of the scholar is Fengchu. I don't know if it is?"

Pang Tong suddenly shuddered and looked at Cao Peng in horror.

At the beginning of the year, he discussed with Sima Decao about the victory and defeat of Guandu, and Sima Decao praised him as "Fengchu".But this matter, no one else knew.The content of the policy discussion on the day was limited to only a few people.At that time, Pang Tong once asserted that Yuan Shao would be defeated in the Guandu battle... Sima Hui asked him to explain the reason, and he also answered.At that time, Sima Hui praised that Pang Tong was a young phoenix at that time, and he would become a blockbuster in the future.Therefore, the name of this phoenix chick was spread in private, and only four or five people knew about it except Sima Hui.

But Cao Peng, how would he know?
Huang Chengyan couldn't help asking curiously: "Shi Yuan, what happened?"

Pang Tong blushed...but his complexion was dark, so outsiders couldn't tell.

"Mr. Hui, it's just Mr. Shui Jing's joke."

Cao Peng said sternly: "Mr. Shui Jing has both talent and learning, and is highly respected, how can you joke about it.

Brother Shi Yuan has a beautiful world in his heart, but it is a pity that Liu Jingsheng has a false name, he only knows how to judge people by their appearance, but he doesn't want to miss the virtuous people around him. "

A look of gratitude flashed in Pang Tong's eyes.

Huang Chengyan sighed softly, but said nothing.

Before, Mr. Pang De had someone recommend Pang Tong to Liu Biao, intending to let Pang Tong work under Liu Biao's command.Unexpectedly, after meeting Pang Tong, Liu Biao hated Pang Tong's ugly appearance.Although he didn't say it out loud, his attitude already showed his thoughts.

Pang Tong was also an arrogant person, how could he bear that kind of neglect, so he resigned from the official position rewarded by Liu Biao.

After returning to Shuijing Villa, Pang Tong was unhappy.

He was born in a famous family, learned from his uncle since he was a child, and later joined the Shuijing Villa, thinking that he was very talented and learned.

Unexpectedly, because of his ugly appearance, he was often ridiculed by others... Hearing that Huang Chengyan was going to Xudu, Pang Tong was moved.He had heard of Cao Peng's name a long time ago, but it was a pity that he had no chance to get to know him.Since there is no future in Jingxiang, it would be good to go out for a walk and experience some experience.By the way, you can also meet Cao Peng to see if this Cao Peng is really as good as his father and uncle praised.Huang Chengyan didn't refuse either, so he brought Pang Tong together to Xudu and stayed in Cao's mansion...

Seeing Cao Peng for the first time, Pang Tong didn't have any feelings.

But then he realized that Cao Peng had been sizing him up...

I thought that Cao Peng, like Liu Biao, is also a guy who judges people by their appearance.Pang Tong felt somewhat uncomfortable, so he just cupped his hands.

He was born ugly, so he has an extremely sensitive and proud heart.

In history, after Pang Tong made a series of countermeasures, he got letters of recommendation from Lu Su and Zhuge Liang.He voted for Sun Quan first, but was looked down upon by Sun Quan because of his appearance, and later voted for Liu Bei, but was also ignored because of his appearance.But even if he became a small county magistrate, Pang Tong did not take out Zhuge Liang's recommendation letter.

Later Liu Bei repented and reused Pang Tong.

Unexpectedly, on the way to Xichuan, he was ambushed and shot by Zhang Ren.

Cao Peng read the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and when Pang Tong was killed, he still felt strange.

The so-called Luofengpo is just a novelist's deduction, and Cao Peng does not particularly believe it.He wondered why Pang Tong was killed by Zhang Ren so easily?He is a phoenix chick, and the "phoenix chick" who is known to the world with Zhuge Liang, his performance is too bad.

Later he heard a saying: Pang Tong belongs to the kind of extremely inferior and extremely proud person.

He is talented, but he is eager to express himself.

He didn't want to be said that he relied on Zhuge Liang to start his career, so he was always looking for opportunities to prove his talent...

Luo Fengpo's death was not so much that Pang Tong was killed by Zhang Ren, but that he was eager to make contributions and lost his direction.

At first glance, it makes sense.

But what is the truth?I'm afraid it's not well known.

Cao Peng liked Pang Tong very much because of his sadness of dying before he was able to succeed in his career, and the name of "Fengchu".

Sometimes, you don't need a special reason to like someone.For example, Cao Peng likes Pang Tong because of his title of "Fengchu".

Zhuge Liang?
There are too many people who like Wolong in later generations, so there is no need for him to add icing on the cake.

As a sad character, Feng Chu has become Cao Peng's favorite...

"I didn't expect Shi Yuan to come, I was really pleasantly surprised.

Now that you're here, don't rush back.Father, why don't you let someone vacate the house and invite Shi Yuan to live in our house?Now that I have no official and a light body, I can hang around with Shi Yuan for a while.When you're free, I'll take you to Longshan to hunt, and walk around by the way, how about it? "

Cao Ji smiled and said, "You can decide this matter, Fu."

He turned to Huang Chengyan and said, "Huang Gong, what are your plans?"

Huang Chengyan thought for a while, "I came to Xudu only for Yueying's marriage. After the wedding, I plan to return to Jiangxia."

"Uncle, what are you doing back in Jiangxia?"

Cao Peng quickly opened his mouth to stop.

Huang Chengyan has gone back, doesn't it mean that Pang Tong may also leave.

Moreover, Cao Peng also hopes that Huang Chengyan can stay.In private, if Huang Chengyan stays, Huang Yueying will be very happy; in public, Huang Chengyan is also a master of ingenious tricks, and his knowledge is mixed, especially Huang Yueying.Cao Peng hoped that he could learn more from Huang Chengyan.

Cao Ji nodded and said, "I heard that Jiang Xia is not very stable now.

Jiangdong often violates the border, and when his in-laws go back, not all of them may be safe... I dare not say anything else, but at least they are safe.Yuan Shao is defeated, and there will be no war for 20 years.There are many good places around Xudu, why don't the in-laws buy property here, Yueying must be happy too. "

"This is..."

Huang Chengyan's heart skipped a beat.

"If not, you can go to Yingyin."

"Oh?"

"Cao Hong, the prefect of Yingchuan, is my uncle. I heard from him that many places in Yingchuan are left unused. If my uncle thinks Xu is not used to it, why not settle down in Yingchuan. If you have nothing to do, you can go to Yingchuan Academy for a walk. , that’s where today’s celebrities gather.”

Cao Peng opened his mouth and made a suggestion.

Huang Chengyan pondered for a long time, "I am in Yingchuan, and I have no acquaintances."

Cao Peng said with a smile: "It's better than this. I'm just free, and I will go to Yingchuan with my uncle. If you like a place, just buy it."

"So, there is Lao Youxue."

Cao Peng reached out and grabbed Pang Tong's arm, "Shi Yuan, let's talk in the back garden.

Today there are plum blossoms in full bloom in the garden. We can enjoy drinking and enjoying the plum blossoms in the garden, which is also one of the great pleasures in life. "

Pang Tongtong smiled, "Brother Yiyi."
