Cao Thief

Chapter 569 Alienation
The title of the previous chapter should be reunion.

In the end, I wrote it wrong... This chapter is alienation, please forgive me!
——————————————————————————————

After a night of carnival, Cao Peng got very drunk.

However, the good habits he has developed for a long time made him open his eyes early the next morning...

Looking at the two charming beauties in his arms, he immediately felt happy.

Achievement!
Absolute sense of accomplishment!

He finally let two normally dignified women sleep with him in the big quilt, and played a game of flying together.Huang Yueying and Xiahouzhen are both very conservative women in their hearts.It is acceptable to play one-on-one, but if they play two-flying, it may look lewd in their eyes.Therefore, Cao Peng never had such an opportunity.

Don't look at his two wives and three concubines, but they are all relatively traditional women.

Guo Huan is somewhat open-minded, sometimes playing games with Cao Peng.But the other four girls seemed a bit dull.

Originally, Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen were determined not to play together.

But Cao Peng pulled the two of them together abruptly with Jiu Jin.

The two women were very tired after being turned upside down overnight and turned into a red wave.

As a result, when Cao Peng got up, the two of them remained silent and were still in a deep sleep.After covering the second daughter with a quilt, Cao Peng walked out of the room shirtless and wearing a pair of handmade boxer tops.It was still dark and gray.The courtyard is very quiet, and there will be one or two cicadas chirping from time to time.Faintly, there was the sound of a cock crowing.Cao Peng went to the well, fetched a bucket of water, then held it up high, and had a good time.

The somewhat drowsy brain suddenly became sober.

After washing his body, he changed into dry clothes and walked out of the courtyard...

The entire Cao Mansion was shrouded in silence.

Xingyang in March is neither hot nor cold, which is a good season.

Sishui flows quietly around the farm.

Cao Peng walked out of the manor and walked along the embankment, but the situation of yesterday emerged in his mind.

He asked Huang Yueying why Deng Ai was in Xingyang.

Logically speaking, Deng Ai is studying now, so how could he come here in free time?Moreover, from Cao Nan's words, Cao Peng heard that Deng Ai didn't seem to want to return to Xudu, and planned to stay in Xingyang for a long time.This also made Cao Peng even more strange!In his impression, Deng Ai was an extremely studious child who studied very hard.

How can you give up your studies?

But there were so many things yesterday that he didn't have a chance to ask.

Just looking at Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen's hesitation, they seem to know some truths, but it's hard to say...

What's the situation?
Cao Peng scratched his head, puzzled!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
When I got home, it was already dawn.

Even Guo Yong, the supervisor of Heyi Workshop, said that Cao Peng did not have to follow the rules, but Cao Peng still changed his clothes and was ready to report.

However, before going out, Cao Zhang came to find him.

"Sir, I'm going to go back to Xudu."

"It's good to return to Xu!" Cao Peng nodded again and again, expressing his approval: "You have been away from home for two years, and you are worried about visiting the Lord and Madam. Now that you are back, if you don't go home and have a look, you will definitely lose your mouth. Not a good thing...

By the way, since you're going home, don't forget to bring some gifts as a filial piety.

I hunted those white wolf skins earlier, and you bring them back to Sikong; there are also some Northwest specialties, remember to take them with you, as a gift for your wife... Ziwen, don’t be serious with your mother when you go back this time. .Your son travels thousands of miles and your mother is worried. You may not understand it now, but when you grow up, you will naturally understand how your parents care about you. "

Cao Zhang saluted respectfully, "Zhang will remember the teacher's teachings."

"Okay, okay, don't be so rigid."

"Sir, there is one more thing I want to ask sir."

Cao Peng was startled, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Say it!"

"Zhang was ignorant when he was young. He only knew how to be brave and ruthless, but neglected his studies. In the past two years, after reading "History-Xiang Yu Benji", he suddenly felt remorse. He hated that he didn't study when he was young. Let me tell you that I am going to study under Mr. Zhang. When the time comes, Zhang hopes to come to Xingyang to accompany Mr. around, and he can also listen to the words of teaching sooner or later."

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment!
He looked at Cao Zhang in surprise, and from those sincere eyes, he seemed to want to see Cao Zhang's heart.

Cao Zhang, do you really want to be a teacher, or do you plan to win him over?
Cao Peng still remembers Cao Zhang’s question on the bank of Ruo Shui: If I fight with Cang Shu, who will Mr. help?

This shows that Cao Zhang is not without ambition.

It's just that he doesn't know how to cover up, nor will he hide it.

If it were Cao Pi, he would never ask such a naked question, but would use various methods to test it out.Unfortunately, Cao Zhang asked that!Cao Peng didn't think there was any problem, but thought that his innocence...

If he hadn't made his choice long ago, Cao Peng would definitely help Cao Zhang.

but now……

Cao Peng saw the sincerity from the heart in Cao Zhang's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since Ziwen is willing to learn, that's a good thing... I will not stop you from coming to Xingyang. It's just that once you talk about apprenticeship, don't talk about it. I am of the same generation as you, how can I be a teacher ?At the beginning you followed me to practice martial arts, but I didn't refuse. But if you say apprenticeship... I haven't been a teacher myself, how can I teach students?
However, if you want to come here, then come here.

We can study together, discuss with each other, and learn from each other's strengths, which is also a happy thing. "

Originally, a look of disappointment flashed in Cao Zhang's eyes.

He felt that Cao Peng was trying to shirk.

But the latter sentence immediately made him happy, and he nodded again and again.

Cao Peng smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "I still have to go to work in the workshop, so I won't see you off... Go back to Xudu, and wait for me to say hello to the lord and wife. Remember, don't make the little one any more The child has a temper, if you have anything to say, discuss it with your wife."

"Chang, write it down!"

Cao Zhang left happily.

But for Cao Peng, he didn't feel relaxed at all.

This guy is straight-tempered and straightforward... Cao Zhang in history, when Cao Cao was in power, made great contributions.Cao Cao was seriously ill, so the post-horse recruited Cao Zhang to return.It's a pity that Cao Cao died before Cao Zhang arrived... After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Cao Zhang did not object.However, Cao Pi finally took back the military power in Cao Zhang's hands!

Cao Pi said that Cao Zhang was ordered to make the Northern Expedition to pacify the north. He made great achievements and worshiped thousands of households.

In the second year of Huangchu, You Jinjue became a Duke.

In the third year of Huangchu, Cao Zhang worshiped as the king of the city.

But since then, he has never led troops and horses to fight north and south...

In the fourth year of Huangchu, Cao Zhang went to Beijing for a pilgrimage, but suddenly fell ill and died in the mansion at the age of 33!

Among the Cao family's sons, Cao Zhang may be the least ambitious, and he did not form a party.

With his physical fitness, his sudden death at the age of 33 is too bizarre.Looking at Cao Zhang's back, Cao Peng couldn't help frowning.He stood at the door for a while, then got on his horse and went straight to the workshop.It's not that he is dark in his heart, but that the Three Kingdoms era was originally a dark and treacherous era with many conspiracies, how could he not have many guesses?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +
He Yi Workshop was built near the Bo River.

Cao Peng had visited here in his previous life, but the Si River had dried up at that time, and the Heyi Workshop had already become a pile of ruins.Although the Xingyang County government tried to rebuild the earliest blast furnace iron smelting workshop in history, it failed due to various reasons.It's just that on the way to Guxing, a few signs were set up to remind people of the glory here.

But, how many people have noticed it?

Guo Yong is very strong, wearing a blue dark official uniform, patrolling the construction site.

After Cao Peng arrived, Guo Yong did not talk to him, but took him to visit the workshop.

Since the reconstruction of Cao Ji, the Heyi Workshop has become more and more prosperous.

Today, it has faintly become a smelting center in the Central Plains.

Here, a large number of skilled craftsmen gathered, and the bellows technology was adopted on a large scale.When Cao Peng arrived, the workshop had already started construction, and the scene of the bustling scene made one's blood boil.Guo Yong accompanied Cao Peng and introduced him as he walked.

"This place is specially used to make Cao Gongshi... here is responsible for making swords and shields... here is to make farm tools..."

The entire workshop is divided into more than a dozen areas.

Cao Peng roughly calculated that there are about 300 craftsmen in Heyi Workshop.

As for various handymen, there are as many as a thousand people.

After walking around, Cao Peng found a problem.

That is efficiency!
It is a good thing that craftsmen perform their duties.But relatively speaking, it seems a little repetitive... so that it is inefficient.

For example, the creation of Cao Gongshi, from forging to casting molds and other processes, is completely in charge of one person.

This also causes a lot of labor to be wasted repeatedly.

Guo Yongdao: "After you learn this, I can relax a lot!

I'm going to let you take care of the records and handle some official documents.It's not particularly busy at ordinary times, and you don't have to come every day. "

It can be seen that Guo Yong still takes care of Cao Peng very much.

Cao Peng was not polite either... In the end, he and Guo Yong are a family.Guo Yong's eldest daughter, Guo Yu, is now Deng Ji's concubine, while the youngest daughter, Guo Huan, is about to become a mother.With this relationship, how could Guo Yong treat Cao Peng badly?Not to mention, Guo Yong's eldest son, Guo Fu, and his second son, Guo Du, are now following Cao Ji as followers in Liangzhou.

Given time, the Guo family will definitely grow stronger.

Therefore, Guo Yong was very polite to Cao Peng.

After Cao Peng visited around, it was almost noon.

"Father-in-law, I have something to ask, is it possible?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"I want to ask my father-in-law to build a private furnace for me. I have some ideas, and I hope to finish it by myself, and I ask my father-in-law to fulfill it."

Of course Guo Yong would not refuse!

He knew that Cao Peng had learned how to make knives under Cao Ji.

If he wants a private stove, then make it for him... Anyway, it is within his scope of authority, and Guo Yong doesn't need to spend too much money.

After that, Cao Peng said goodbye and left.

But no one will remember his attendance, here, it is really not much different from at home.

After returning home, Cao Peng put some workshop materials in the study.

Cao Zhang has left the farm with Cao Zhen and others.Cao Zhen and the others, after all, were in official positions, so they couldn't leave for a long time, so Cao Peng didn't ask too much.After chatting with his mother Zhang and sister Cao Nan for a while, he ordered his servants: "Go, get Wang Shuang and Xiao Ai."

"Don't be so annoying, Yueying said that you will definitely find them two when you come back, and you have already called them to the flower hall."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "They are in the flower hall. If you have anything to do, just go and ask..."

When Cao Peng heard this, his heart skipped a beat again: It seems that something is not normal!
