Opposite him, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and nodded as he listened to Yuan Shao's tone of concern for the country and the people.
Cao Cao was born into a family of eunuchs. He was familiar with the art of war since he was a child. He was later promoted as Xiaolian.
In maintaining law and order in Kyoto, a five-color stick offended many powerful people.
Life can be said to be full of ups and downs. Over the years, I have become more and more aware of the sophistication of people, otherwise I would not be hanging out with Yuan Shao.
"Brother Benchu is right. Although I have good advice, it is difficult to meet with the officials."
"But with Brother Benchu's family background, it must not be difficult to meet the official family."
Cao Cao felt sorry for Yuan Shao, who was opposite him. The righteousness he just said was nothing more than wanting the Yuan Mansion not to be implicated and to continue to maintain the reputation of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes.
But you can't say these words to your face, otherwise you won't be able to continue playing.
"Hahaha, Brother Meng De is laughing. It's not difficult for me to meet an official. It's just that I don't dare to worry about the country due to my humble position. Even my advice is difficult to be effective..."
Yuan Shao explained with a smile, a hint of pride evident in the corners of his eyes.
Cao Cao was a natural flatterer. The fourth generation and the three princes could not respect him even more. Heroes in the world were even proud to join the Yuan Mansion.
Seeing the hypocritical look on Yuan Shao's face across from him, Cao Cao felt sorry for him, but he still laughed along with him.
At this moment, a servant suddenly walked into Yuan Shao and whispered something in Yuan Shao's ear.
Yuan Shao waved his servants to go out, patted the table, and shouted "Hello".
"What good thing makes Brother Benchu so happy? Please tell me quickly..."
Cao Cao asked anxiously, it must be no small matter to make Yuan Shao do this.
"Haha, it makes Meng De laugh. It's not that idiot Yuan Shu who was taught a lesson today..."
Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both descended from the family of the fourth generation and the third prince, Yuan Shu was born to the main wife and was the legitimate son.
However, Yuan Shao was just the son of a concubine and was often looked down upon by Yuan Shu.
And Yuan Shao looked down upon Yuan Shu even more, as he was an uneducated young man who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
Yuan Shu was taught a lesson by a dandy, and he was a member of the Han clan, so the amount of information was quite large.
However, Cao Cao was smart and figured out his thoughts in an instant.
"Brother Benchu, could it be Liu Qi and Liu Boyu whom the officials summoned a while ago?"
"I heard that they are going to be named the Marquis of Renyong..."
Yuan Shao nodded.
Ruo Dou Er, actually let a dandy boy teach him a lesson. This time Yuan Shu really embarrassed the Yuan Mansion.
I'm afraid that this boy will be scolded by his father when he comes home, and he will be able to laugh at that ignorant guy again.
"Brother Meng De, it's not surprising that the Han princes are everywhere now. I heard that Liu Qi only knows a little bit about medical skills.
"As for the method to cure the plague, one of my doctors might have developed it and kept it for himself, so he was rewarded by the imperial court."
Yuan Shao obviously didn't take Liu Qi's words seriously, but Cao Cao listened with great interest.
After a moment of deep thought, he said: "Brother Benchu, this Liu Qi may really have some abilities. There are rumors in the outside world that he is a benevolent doctor, proficient in music, and has said some famous sayings..."
Naturally, Cao Cao didn't really think that Liu Qi was a dandy, but he didn't believe that he had any great talent.
Yuan Shao waved his hand and drank a glass of wine, obviously not taking these words to heart.
However, Cao Cao had an idea and suddenly remembered something.
"Brother Benchu, from this point of view, Liu Boyu is worth dating."
Yuan Shao was not stupid. Hearing this, he couldn't help but suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his face.
Of course, I didn’t know that Liu Qi had poached me at this time, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to laugh.
"Good man, let's compete someday?"
Yan Liang was also tall and thick, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a powerful look. Dian Wei could tell at a glance that this man was extraordinary.
"good."
Yan Liang also saw Dian Wei's extraordinary qualities and aroused the fighting spirit in his heart.
However, Liu Qi curiously asked Qian Bojun how he had tricked Yan Liang into coming here. The person he defected to was Yuan Shao.
Qian Bojun shook his feather fan with a smile.
"Of course, it all depends on the lord's reputation. The fourth generation and the third prince are not comparable to the clan members of the outer clan. They are not on the same level at all."
Liu Qi naturally didn't believe Qian Bojun's flattery, but the filming was very good and it sounded really comfortable.
"You naughty son, you kneel down to me, you actually disgraced such a big person, molesting a common girl in the street, you really disgrace our Yuan family..."
The old man who spoke was lean and lean, with a tuft of gray beard on his chin and eyes like a falcon. He was Yuan Feng, the imperial servant of the Han Dynasty, who held Jin Wu, Sikong, and the third elder in the imperial court.
Yuan Shu, who returned to his residence, was also shocked that this matter had reached his father's ears in one afternoon.
"Who is it? Is it that Liu Qi?"
Yuan Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, was thinking in his mind, and of course he directed his anger on Liu Qi.
I kept thinking about how to teach that dolphin dog a lesson someday, preferably by stepping on the ground and eating dog poop.
"Shu'er, my father knows that you are a little unconvinced. It doesn't matter that you are a young master of Jizhou Mu, but you know how many people are watching when the officials want to see Liu Qi, and even waiting for the opportunity in secret..."
You must know that Yuan Fengna is the third prince of the imperial court. Although he is in a high and powerful position, he is now in power. If he is not careful, he will be imprisoned.
In the past few years, I have worked hard for the Yuan family and endured humiliation.
Yuan Shu watched his father's expression soften and asked curiously.
"Father, you're just a dog, so how can you be treated so favorably by the officials?"
Although the title of Marquis was nothing to Yuan Shu, he kept this tone in his heart, and there was that pretty little maid.
It's so lovely, it would be even more beautiful if it were pressed under me.
Yuan Feng was speechless looking at his useless son. If he was half as smart as Shao'er, he wouldn't be so worried.
But he was his biological son after all. Yuan Feng waved his hand and Yuan Shu stood up.
"It's August 15th soon. Mr. Zheng Xuan invited a group of friends to enjoy the moon. Cai Yong's daughter will also go. It will be a great achievement for you to marry Cai Wenji this time."
Yuan Shu was stunned when he suddenly heard his father's words. His good friend Wei Zhongdao just said that August 15th was his good opportunity, but he did not say that this was an audition.
I have long coveted Cai Wenji's beauty, but I am just the daughter of Cai Da's Confucian family, so I dare not use force.
"Father, don't worry, my child will definitely win the first prize this time..."
Yuan Shu's words made Yuan Feng very happy, not because of the beauty of Cai Yong's daughter.
This was a political marriage, and Cai Yong's reputation was such that officials were afraid of it.
Otherwise, Cai Wenji would have been admitted to the palace by virtue of her beauty.
As for the future, we will talk about it later. Everything must be centered on the Yuan Mansion.
"My lord, a man who calls himself Cao Cao comes to visit you..."
