There was a banquet going on at Cao Shuang's house. Although neither place was as hot as ordinary people's homes in Luoyang, it was difficult to stay comfortably indoors even at night.
You still have to be under the shade of the trees in the courtyard to get a little more coolness, but the emperor's residence, where one person is under one person and where the powerful ministers are above ten thousand people, is different from these ordinary people.
As long as they want, they can enjoy the coolness wherever they want. After all, they have so much power, they can still do this little thing.
As long as they speak, countless people will rush to do these things for them, which is enough for them to enjoy the coolness of the summer and not let them suffer the slightest bit of cold in winter.
As long as their power remains as strong as it was in the summer, and does not decline too seriously, or even rises slightly, then the warmth of the winter will be guaranteed.
At this moment, the breeze was blowing slowly on several ginkgo trees in the courtyard outside the Cao Mansion's banquet hall. The green branches of the ginkgo trees, like small fans, rustled under the cool night breeze.
It is a pity that no one can appreciate the symphony of the ginkgo leaves and the evening breeze in this courtyard, and the sweet sound like the sound of nature. It has been covered up by the noisy conversations and the sound of drinking and drinking in the banquet hall, and is no longer heard by outsiders.
heard,
Only some leaves and the chirping of cicadas in some other small courtyards can still be appreciated by people, which can bring some joy to people, relieve some distracting thoughts in the mind, and temporarily no longer worry about everything in the world.
Among them were some women from the Cao Mansion, and the children were enjoying the coolness of the summer night under the shade of the trees, bathing under the stars in the sky, setting out a pot of tea, several plates of fruits, snacks, and preserved meat.
Just enjoying it in their respective courtyards, after all, the dinner in the banquet hall has nothing to do with them, it only has to do with the ministers in the court and their husbands.
Bai Lingjun wore a green dress under the shade of a tree in her courtyard and sat quietly. There was only a personal maid Xiao Ruan beside her. She looked at the bright moon in the sky.
After a long time, he slowly spoke softly: "I wonder how Lun'er is doing in the land of Bashu now. Although the old thief Sima casually threw me to Cao Zhaobo like a piece of clothing, Cao Zhaobo treated me well.
of,
He is also young and strong, not comparable to the old thief Sima who only relies on power for support.
Now there is only one Lun'er in Shu Han that is worthy of my concern. Alas, I don't know if I will ever see him again in my lifetime!"
Xiao Ruan said firmly at the side: "Madam, please be patient. With the master's current strength, the national power of the Wei Dynasty, and the help of Madam, the female Zhuge, it will take a few more years.
This Shu Han will definitely be able to belong to me, the Great Wei Dynasty, and by then the young master will definitely be able to return to his wife safely!"
Bai Lingjun took a sip of tea gracefully and sighed: "Oh, Xiao Ruan Ru's thinking is too simple, not to mention whether the old thief Sima could let Lun'er go when the Shu Han was defeated, and let him and I, who betrayed him,
The woman, mother and son are reunited. Even if he can let go of Lun'er, he is still his son.
But will Lun'er recognize me as my mother again? After all, Lun'er recognizes that he is a complete member of the Sima clan.
Maybe after a long period of brainwashing by the old thief Sima, in his eyes I am just a bitch who is disloyal to the Sima family and Sinong Yi, has an unclean body, and is no longer worthy of being his mother!"
Xiao Ruan forced a smile and said with relief: "Madam, don't worry, the young master is a kind person. At that time, regardless of your biological mother, you were forced to flee to Shu Han with the old thief Sima. I didn't really want to leave you behind.
into the master's hands!"
Bai Lingjun said: "Xiao Ruan, don't I understand the temperament of my own son? After all, he is a piece of flesh that fell off my body!"
Xiao Ruan thought for a while and then said: "Madam, when the Wei army invades the country, the general trend is the general trend, even if the young master does not care about your face, the kindness of raising him will be
For the sake of the master's power, I will bow my head and submit, return to your side, and after some time,
He will gradually forget the bad teachings given to him by the old thief Sima, let his master be his adoptive father, and finally be willing to be a rich and idle man like He Consort!"
Bai Lingjun picked up a crystal-clear Western grape on the table, gently put it into Cherry's little mouth, and slowly tasted the taste, "You think that even if Lun'er is willing to do this, my husband is willing to turn a hawk into a wolf."
Do you have Gu's little cub by your side?
Isn't he afraid that Lun'er will seek revenge on him in the future and backfire on him? After all, the blood on his body is the blood of the Sima family, unlike the He family, which has no enmity against Emperor Wu!"
Xiao Ruan said with some sadness: "Madam, the little master has grown up under the watch of the servant, and he is your own flesh and blood. When the time comes, you have to find a way to let the master spare his life, even if he becomes an ordinary citizen.
OK!"
Bai Lingjun said: "My husband is not so unkind, nor is he as cold-blooded and ruthless as the Sima family, like Master Sima who kills the people next to him at the slightest suggestion.
If I open my mouth, I can probably save Lun'er's life, but with Lun'er's temperament, he will not be willing to be an ordinary person.
If possible, he will try every means to climb up, even if it is by any means necessary. If he is so restless, it will be difficult for his husband to keep him alive.
The best way is to imprison him for the rest of his life and prevent him from making trouble, but will your husband let such a restless person be around?"
Xiao Ruan said: "Then, the madam can only do her best. Whether the little master can survive in the future can only depend on his own luck!"
Bai Lingjun sighed: "That's all it can do. It's up to him to decide what happens in the future!"
Fortunately, Cao Shuang is not here now. He is still having a banquet with the ministers in the banquet hall. If he hears these words, he will definitely say, how can such an insidious and cunning person who single-handedly caused the Eight Kings Rebellion stay here?
He lives on in the world,
If it doesn't work, we can have another one, give him the lightest punishment and imprison him until death to ensure the safety of the country.
The courtyard where Jian Jia was was also brightly lit. Cao Lin asked in a sweet voice, "Mom, baby, baby, is it okay if I want to have a banquet with my father and the others?"
Jian Jia smiled and touched his head and said softly: "Lin'er, you are still too young to have a banquet with your father and the others. When you grow up, even if you don't say anything, your father will
Let me take you to see the world!"
Cao Lin picked up a piece of dried meat with his little hand and stuffed it into his little mouth: "Mom, if the child wants to grow up quickly, he can help his father earlier!"
"Well, mother believes you can definitely do it. My Lin'er is the smartest and most well-behaved!"
