The Chinese people are smart, hardworking and kind...... Endurance is even more amazing, as long as there are three thatched huts to cover their bodies, and a bowl of gruel to wrap their stomachs, they will farm the land and pay for food, obey the conscription, and be willing to be obedient people for a lifetime.

Relying on relics and glazed utensils, Xiao Yi got a large amount of money, all of which was transferred to various states, counties, and counties, and converted into farming cattle, farm tools, and seeds, which were distributed to the poor people, so that they could resume production and live in peace.

The officials are surprisingly diligent, organizing manpower, dispatching materials, and dealing with affairs day and night.

Garrisons from all over the country were also dispatched to help the people plough the fields, sow seeds, build canals to divert water, and rebuild houses...... By the way, we will clean up the bandits and grass bandits, and use iron-blooded means to rectify public order!

The merchants were not idle, and twenty-eight large mines began to be excavated one after another, and at the same time, a large number of homeless people were recruited, with three meals a day, full meals, and a good salary every month.

At the same time, the exemption of forced labor, the exemption of land tax, and the exemption of poll tax...... the issuance of the 'guilty order' made the people angry, and the news of the expansion of the school made the children of the poor family see hope!

Under the action of various forces, the dark clouds over the Central Plains finally slowly dispersed, the civil uprising gradually subsided, the contradictions were greatly eased, and the Cao Ying group turned the crisis into peace and regained control of the situation!

Those who predicted the death of Cao Ying, waiting to see the joke, were all shocked, and then quickly changed the corners of their mouths, and sang praises of virtue in a big way: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng has been good through the ages, has governed the country well, and is the pillar of the country......

The twists and turns of the officials from all over the country thanked the Prime Minister and the Hou Mansion in an instant, and even Sun Quan and Liu Bei sent congratulatory watches against their will, hoping to maintain friendship and not raise swords...... In the sound of singing praises and virtues, another happy event came!

………………………………………………………………

"Lord Sima and Mrs., with two little sons - enter the mansion to pay respects!"

"Hussar general, wife, bring the children of the Xiahou clan - enter the mansion to pay respects!"

"General Che Cai, wife, with the children of the Cao clan............"

On March 26, the 11th year of Jian'an, Mrs. Bian's 50th birthday arrived, and the prime minister's mansion was paved with red felt, decorated with colorful lanterns, and the flowers were dressed in general, belonging to officials, soldiers, slaves and maids...... Everyone is wearing new clothes and smiling faces, which is even more lively than the New Year!

The mother-in-law celebrated her fiftieth birthday, and her son-in-law couldn't afford to slack off, Xiao Yi got up early, took Cao Jie, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Huang, and carefully prepared gifts, and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Civil and military officials, door valve masters, temple monks...... At least thousands of people came, and the gifts they brought were piled up, and the traffic in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion was crowded and crowded, and finally they had to dispatch tigers and leopards to ride, and forcibly maintained order to avoid stampedes.

In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion - the two corridors are playing music, singing and dancing constantly, Mrs. Bian is wearing a pine cloud hairpin on her head, wearing a red auspicious dress, sitting on the main seat, her face is full of smiles, and her expression is still a little excited!

What a glory and how difficult it is for a humble woman from a family to become the wife of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, sit on the high hall, and accept the worship of all people?

Cao Cao was also wearing auspicious clothes and sitting side by side on the main seat, because the civil uprising gradually subsided and the situation improved greatly, his spirit was much better, and a smile appeared on his face, but there was still a haze between his eyebrows!

"The auspicious time has come, please all the sons, young ladies, and relatives...... The civil and military ministers stepped forward in turn to celebrate their birthdays! ”

The ceremonial officer stood up and loudly announced the order of birthday wishes, from intimate to sparse, from eldest to youngest...... People immediately lined up and prepared their birthday gifts!

"Daughter wishes my mother - happiness is like the East China Sea, longevity is better than Nanshan!"

The first to pay homage to her birthday is Cao Xian, she is the queen of the main palace of the Han Dynasty, her status is unmatched, and she is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for the fallen eldest son Cao Ang, she is the oldest!

Cao Xian also held a baby in his arms, it was the little prince - Liu Yi, kneeling on his knees, after three bows and nine knocks, he gave a jade Ruyi as a birthday gift, its color is pure yellow, engraved with dragon patterns, it is obviously a treasure in the Han Palace!

According to the reason: the royal family is the king, the Cao family is the courtier, under the strict feudal etiquette, even if the closest relatives see each other, there is only the reason for the minister to kneel to the king, and there is no reason for the king to worship the minister, but Cao Xian still knelt down and came to worship his birthday as a daughter!

This is also a helpless move, the Han family is in danger, and it may be replaced at any time, Cao Xian is so compromised, that is, he hopes that his mother's family will be merciful, and the Jiangshan Society will take it, so as to leave the lives of her husband and son!

"How can the old man be virtuous, dare to accept such a big gift, come and help the mother up!"

"No!"

Mrs. Bian hurriedly stood up and turned her body sideways, in order to show that she did not dare to spoil the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and she was proud and did not forget her form, and saluted the upper and lower people, etc., this is the old lady's character!

A maid stepped forward to help, but she didn't think that Cao Xian's knees would take root, but she didn't stand up, with a pair of big tearful eyes, staring at her father Cao Cao, she had to ask for permission today, and the maids didn't dare to drag it, after all, she was the queen's mother, and she was still holding the little prince in her arms!

Cao Cao sat still, his eyes were extremely firm, Cao Wei was inevitable in the Han Dynasty, not to mention a daughter and a grandson, even if his father Cao Song and grandfather Cao Teng were resurrected, they didn't want to stop their plans!

However, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, kneeling is their own daughter, their own grandson, the puppet in the palace, but also their own son-in-law, and when the dynasty changes, it is easiest to bleed into a river, once they hurt their lives, it is difficult to lie in the ground!

One of the reasons for Wang Mang's failure to usurp the Han dynasty was that he did not completely destroy the Han clan and let Liu Xiu take the country back, and the Cao family could not repeat the mistakes of the past...... The adulterous male's face is cloudy and uncertain, and he is in a dilemma!

"Wow! --Wow! Wow! ”

Seeing that his father was unmoved, Cao Xian had no choice but to make a trick, touching one hand into the swaddling clothes and pinching his son's buttocks, and the little baby suddenly cried......

The cry of the little baby is the easiest to soften people's hearts, the traitorous male has been decisive in his life, and he has never forgiven people under the sword of the sky, and now he also shows a loving look, and he sighs and shakes his head frequently......

"Get up, the ground is cold and damp, don't freeze the child, look at his heavenly court is full, the earth is round, he will grow up to be a beautiful man, and he will have a long life!

You are bored in the palace, and in the future, you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hou Mansion to walk around, and be close to your brothers and sisters, your father is already old and decrepit, and the future will depend on you! ”

The traitor does not have many words, but it reveals several meanings: praising the baby for his longevity is equivalent to a disguised promise, which will not harm his life, and let him grow up safely!

It's a pity that there are not many traitors and longevity, and with the great cause of Wei Daihan, he can only be handed over to a certain son, and his secret heir is a ruthless guy, I'm afraid he won't show mercy!

Therefore, let her daughter go out and walk more, the focus is not on the Prime Minister's Mansion, but on the relationship with the Wushouhou Mansion, when it really comes to the day when the country changes hands, only Xiao Yi can be alone and protect the lives of the Liu family!

Think about it from another angle, let Xiao Yi act as a protector, and at the same time a monitor, control the deposed emperor's family, and don't have any actions to restore the country, or be used by other princes...... The layout of the traitorous male can be regarded as well-intentioned!

"Thanks to my father's teachings, my daughter must keep in mind and get close to her brothers and sisters!"

Cao Xian is also a smart person, he instantly comprehended his father's painstaking efforts, kowtowed again, retreated to the side and sat down obediently, his eyes swept over the Xiao family, how to pull the relationship between the two sides?

It is not enough to move around diligently, it is really a matter of life and death, people may not help each other, marriage may be a good way, sisters, relatives and relatives, not only can save Liu's life, maybe it can also save the country!

"Daughter and son-in-law wish my mother a prosperous sun and moon, and a long spring of pine cranes!"

"Xuan'er and Huang'er kowtow to their grandmother and grandfather--knock!"

………………

Cao Jie is the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Yiguan worships Da Sima, and his status is second only to the royal family, so he is naturally the second to pay homage to his birthday, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Huang followed behind, and they also saluted with a milky voice!

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Xiao Xuan held a small wooden box in his left hand, led his younger brother in his right hand, trotted to the main seat of the lobby, and handed the gift to Mrs. Bian with his own hands!

Da Sima's ability to gather and disperse thousands of gold in an instant has already spread among the elites, and the previous relics and glass utensils are the best examples, and there are rumors that there is a treasure trove in the Hou Mansion, which contains countless rare treasures, and the real wealth is comparable to the country!' ‘

Therefore, the eyes in the lobby are all gathered on the small wooden box, wondering what kind of treasure it is, it seems that it is not big, it is not a relic, Da Sima is not only rich in the world, but also famous for his generosity!

"Xuan'er is so well-behaved, Huang'er is even better--haha!"

"Brothers and sisters, brothers, friends and brothers, this is a family!"

………………

Mrs. Bian hugged the two grandsons, touched the big head, pinched the little face, and looked particularly loving, next to Cao Cao stroked his beard, and laughed from the heart, the body of the two little grandsons was lying with their own blood!

is also a grandson, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Huang are very favored, and they almost want the stars not to give the moon; But Liu Yi has no one to take care of, thank God for saving a life, the gap is so big, it is embarrassing!

After a lot of love, Mrs. Bian took the wooden box, opened it lightly and looked inside, and the whole person was instantly stunned...... A pile of dead grass!

That's right, inside the beautiful sandalwood box, there is a small pile of dead grass, about 100 roots, there is nothing else, if there is anything special, it is that these grasses are golden in color, like gold!

"Da Sima congratulates him on his birthday, why did he send a box of withered grass, did he take the wrong gift?"

"I don't understand, it's not an ordinary dead grass, but what kind of Imperial Garden Immortal?"

……………

The people around were also stunned, the existence of the dignified Wuwu Hou Mansion and the rich world actually used a box of dry grass as a birthday gift, which is also incredible, right?

Mrs. Bian is also confused, her son-in-law has always been considerate and filial, and he will never take the wrong gift, but what does it mean to give a box of withered grass?

"Small grass, small insects...... Together, they don't separate! ”

The child's eyes are the cleanest, and Xiao Huang, who is more than two years old, stretched out his little hand and grabbed a piece of dead grass and gestured, and his milk voice was extremely cute!

"It's not dead grass, it's a worm, it's a grass...... What the hell is this? ”

"Half-worms and half-grass, it must be a rare treasure, I just said that Da Sima gives gifts, surely he will not be stingy!"

…………

People finally discovered that under every dead grass, there was a small insect, both of which were golden and tightly connected, and they really couldn't be found without looking closely!

The sharp-eyed ones also found that the dead grass and insects are closely connected, not pasted, but grown together, such a strange thing, it is really unseen and unheard of?

This is a strange thing between heaven and earth, born in the southwest wilderness area, thousands of zhang of the peak, winter for insects, summer grass, the two are closely connected, hence the name: Cordyceps!

This thing is sweet, flat, has the miraculous effect of tonifying the lungs and relieving asthma, stopping bleeding and reducing phlegm, long-term use of cordyceps, more can be smooth and bloody, prolong life, so the son-in-law painstakingly found, filial piety to the mother-in-law! ”

……………………

Xiao Yi took a few steps forward, explained the origin of the gift, and ordered the Xiqiang tribes to send people deep into the Qinghai-Tibet region, and it took a lot of effort to find a few savage tribes and exchange them for Cordyceps, at the cost of a few catties of coarse salt!

Mrs. Bian has a kind personality, she has nothing to say to her son-in-law, and she has resolved many contradictions between the Cao and Xiao families.

Therefore, Xiao Yi racked his brains to think of such a birthday gift, so that the old lady can eat a healthy body and a long life, as long as the old lady is built for a day, the Cao and Xiao families can also be safe!

In addition, through a box of cordyceps, clearly tell the high-level elites not to just stare at the Central Plains, there is a vast world outside, as well as countless treasures, and then provoke the ambition of the Han people - good things, grab them!
