Same Clan

Xia Houzhen is also a beautiful woman.

It just gives people a somewhat unusual feeling. Compared with Huang Yueying's cheerfulness, Guo Huan's cleverness, Bu Luan's gentleness, and even Lu Lan's coquettishness with a hint of savagery, Xia Houzhen is more of a

A kind of silence. A kind of silence that cannot be explained or understood. Mrs. Wu said that she was boring, but she was not talking nonsense. In fact, being in contact with Xia Houzhen would make people feel depressed.

"Actually, the real lady is quite pitiful."

During the march, Cao Yang and Cao Peng walked side by side.

In terms of grade, Cao Yang is older than Cao Peng. However, his abilities are average and nothing outstanding. Therefore, although he is also a member of the Cao clan in Qiao County, his reputation is not very good. He is still a military prince in his twenties, but he is just like Cao Cao.

There are many other descendants of the Cao clan like Yang.

Cao Peng asked: "How do you say this?"

Looking both ways, Cao Yang lowered his voice and said, "Captain Cao, your horse should be General Xiahou's Zhaoyebai."

"yes."

"Then you should be no stranger to General Xiahou."

Shit, I've never seen Xia Houyuan!

However, Cao Peng did not comment and turned to look at Cao Yang.

Cao Yang said: "Miss Zhen is the niece of General Xiahou. General Xiahou had an older brother who passed away early, leaving only Miss Zhen and her daughter.

At that time, the situation of General Xiahou was not very good, but in order to take care of Miss Zhen and his daughter, he even gave his eldest son to others to support him... I am not talking about Xiahou Boquan. Speaking of which, Boquan should be the second son...

The eldest son doesn't even have a name, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. For this reason, Miss Zhen is under a lot of pressure, and Mrs. Xiahou has always harbored a trace of resentment towards her mother and daughter."

"I see!"

"However, General Xiahou treats Miss Zhen and her daughter very well. But the more he behaves like this, Miss Zhen..."

Cao Yang sighed and glanced at the car battle in front of him.

“Now that Miss Zhen’s mother-in-law is gone, only Miss Zhen is left, and it will definitely be even more embarrassing in the future.

Miss Zhen is a nice person, kind-hearted, and well-educated. But if things go on like this, trouble will inevitably arise, which will not last long after all."

It can be seen that Cao Yang really sympathizes with Xia Hou.

What he said was also expressed with emotion from the bottom of his heart. The reason is very simple.

In the past, Xia Houzhen had someone to rely on when she was alive; but now, her mother has passed away, and she is alone. Even if Xia Houyuan dotes on her, it is inevitable that she does not take good care of her. Moreover, Xia Houyuan is away all year round, and Xia Houzhen spends all day

The one who came into contact was Xiahou Yuan's wife, Mrs. Huan's sister. This Mrs. Xiahou was really resentful of Xiahou, how could her life be easy?

It's a pity that Cao Peng can't do anything about it...

Depart from Chen County and continue along the official road.

One day later, they bypassed Changping County, passed directly by Zheqiu City (near Xihua, Henan Province), and headed straight for Xudu.

On the third day, the chariot arrived at a place called Chenting.

It is two days' journey from Xudu. Chenting is located on the edge of Chen County. After Chenting, it is under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County. To be precise, Chenting is already under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County and falls under the jurisdiction of Xinji County

.But Chenting is still sixty or seventy miles away from Xinji.

It's already late!

Although the journey was smooth sailing, and after passing through Chen County, the public security improved significantly.

But Cao Peng still didn't dare to take it lightly, and instead became more and more cautious.

Traveling at night?

Even if you beat me to death, I won’t do it!

It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, it will be a big trouble.

What's more, there is also Cao Cao's adoptive grandmother in the team. Cao Song was killed back then, and Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou with blood. Now if there is trouble, his own life will not be safe.

On the surface, Cao Peng did not deliberately welcome Mrs. Wu.

Even to Cao Nan, he deliberately concealed the identity of the old lady to prevent Cao Nan from revealing anything.

Generally speaking, the old lady also valued the Cao Peng siblings very much, and she was friendly and kind to them all the way. But the more this happened, the more cautious Cao Peng became.

"Tonight, we'll stay in Chenting."

"Would you like to stay at Chenting?"

Although Xia Houen was a little dissatisfied, the old lady had already expressed her attitude before. Even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to act arbitrarily.

So, the team stopped at Chentingguanyi.

Gan Ning and Hao Zhao commanded their troops to set up camp, while Xia Houlan sent out scouts to explore the surrounding area.

Naturally, the old lady will not live in the military camp, but since it is an official post, there is no need to worry about not having a place to live. The head of Chenting respectfully welcomed the old lady and his party into the post to rest, and Cao Peng and Kan Ze also came together.

Lives in Tingyi and is responsible for guarding and guarding.

"Afu!"

As soon as Cao Peng arranged for the guards, he was pulled into the room by Cao Nan.

"Do you know what the old lady said to me today?"

"What did you say?"

Cao Peng looked at Cao Nan doubtfully and shook his head.

Cao Nan chuckled, "Today, I talked about our surnames with the old lady. The old lady said that maybe we and Sikong are from the same clan."

"oh?"

Cao Nan said: "But I immediately refuted the old lady."

"What did you say?"

"I said that our ancestors must not have the same ancestor as Sikong. The old lady asked me why, and I told the old lady our family tree."

"Our family's... genealogy?"

Cao Peng was startled and blurted out: "Does our family have a genealogy?"

"Nonsense, how can there be no family tree? But that family tree has always belonged to my father, so you have never seen it. When you grow up in the future and can afford a family, your father will let you know... However,

I've seen the genealogy, but hey, you haven't seen it yet."

"Have you ever seen a genealogy? You can't read."

When Cao Nan heard this, he suddenly showed a hint of anger, raised his hand and tapped Cao Peng's head lightly.

"Although I'm illiterate, don't I know how to ask?"

"Ask who?"

Cao Nan took a breath and said softly: "When you were full term, my father took me to Wuyin to ask the husband to continue the family tree and fill in your name. I was nearby and watched the husband write the name. Then

I asked my husband who was on our family tree.

How do you think sir will answer?"

Cao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "How could I have guessed this?"

"Hey, sir, our ancestor was also a very famous person back then."

"oh?"

"That's Cao Shen and Prime Minister Cao!"

Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this.

"Which one?"

"That's the Prime Minister Cao and Cao Shen who prospered the Han Dynasty."

"Our ancestor is Cao Shen?" Cao Peng couldn't help but ask: "Sister, are you right?"

"How could I remember this wrong? My husband said that my father is the 18th generation great-great-grandson of Prime Minister Cao, and you are the 19th generation... We are the descendants of Prime Minister Cao's descendants. We moved to Nanyang because of some crimes.

, to avoid disaster. Therefore, when the old lady said that we and Cao Sikong were from the same clan, I immediately expressed my disapproval and even told the old lady about our family's genealogy."

Cao Peng was stunned and looked at Cao Nan speechless for a long time.

It is understandable that Cao Nan is like this.

Even though she was Deng Ji's wife, to put it bluntly, she was still a philistine at heart.

Cao Nan knew Cao ***, but she didn't know much about Cao ***'s background. Deng Ji wouldn't tell her these things, and she wouldn't ask around.

The question is, didn’t Mr. Cao also claim to be a descendant of Cao Shen?

"What did the old lady say?"

"The old lady didn't say anything, she just smiled.

Our ancestral home is in Pei County, and Cao Sikong is from Qiao County, so how can we be from the same clan? But I think the old lady is not angry."
