Chapter 122: Ding Yao, who can't be persuaded to move
That night, Cao Chun found a village.
The villagers vacated a few houses, and Cao Cao and others rested.
Sleeping until midnight, Cao Shuo heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" He sat up.
"Childe, Captain Sima is back." Outside the door, the voice of the accompanying guard was heard.
"Let him in." Cao Shuo commanded.
The door opened, and with a cold wind, Sima Yi entered the house.
Lighting the oil lamp, Sima Yi saluted Cao Shuo, who was sitting on the bed: "Childe, I'm back." ”
"How?" Cao Shuo asked.
"I've seen the eldest lady." Sima Yi said: "The eldest son died in battle, and she couldn't bear the pain of losing her son so she could not bear to whisper in Cao Gong's ear all day long. Cao Gong drove her back to her parents' house, which made her even more resentful. Even if Gongzi doesn't use any means, she won't follow Cao Gong back. ”
"I was born to the same mother as my eldest brother, who was raised by the eldest lady and raised by my mother." Cao Shuo said: "Although they didn't grow together, the blood was thicker than water, but they couldn't be separated. Seeing the eldest lady like this, in fact, I don't feel very comfortable. ”
"Son-in-law and eldest son were born to the same mother?" Sima Yi was stunned.
"You don't know?" Cao Shuo asked in surprise.
Sima Yi shook his head: "I'm just a school captain, and I don't know much about the Cao family's back house." ”
"Now you know?" Cao Shuo asked.
"With such a relationship, it is a good thing for the eldest lady to go back to the son." Sima Yi said: "Mrs. Bian has a biological son, and her son is just an adopted son, so it is inevitable to favor one over the other. The eldest lady has no children under her knees, and for the sake of your mother born to the eldest son, she will also love the house and Wu. ”
"You mean to ask me to persuade my grandmother to go home?" Cao Shuo said: "But she didn't treat me well before. ”
"There was an eldest son in the past, of course I wouldn't add a blue eye to the son." Sima Yi said: "Now that the eldest son has died in battle, as long as the eldest son is willing to get close to her, the eldest lady will definitely do her best to help." ”
"What about Mother?" Cao Shuo pinched his chin and said, "Do you want her to be a concubine for life?" ”
"The son is wholeheartedly filial, how can Mrs. Bian care if she is a wife?" Sima Yi said.
"You're so fast that I'm unprepared." Cao Shuo asked, "There won't be any changes, right?" ”
"It's better to plan ahead than to improvise." Sima Yi said: "When things come to an end, we know how to do it more beneficial." ”
"You have a point." Cao Shuo asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Cao Gong will definitely eat a closed door tomorrow." Sima Yi said: "Childe found an opportunity to talk to Madame. ”
"I persuade her?" Cao Shuo asked.
Sima Yi nodded.
"How to persuade?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Let's just say that the eldest lady left the Cao family, and she couldn't even go to see the grave of the eldest son, and the relationship between mother and son was broken." Sima Yi said: "The eldest lady is the most distressed person, and he doesn't want to see such a result. ”
"I'll try it tomorrow." Cao Shuo asked, "Did you tell your father what you found?" ”
"In another hour it will be dawn." Sima Yi said: "It's not too late to wait for Cao Gong to wake up." ”
"While there's still time, you go to bed." Cao Shuo said.
"Thank you for your concern." Sima Yi retired and left.
The night passed quietly, and Cao Cao got up early in the morning.
The news that Sima Yi brought back made him feel bad.
After returning to her parents' house, Mrs. Ding spun yarn every day, and she didn't even confiscate half a copper coin from the Cao family.
It seems that she is hard-hearted and refuses to forgive Cao Cao.
His face was very bad, and Cao Cao seemed to have suddenly aged a lot.
Sitting in the room, he pondered how to persuade Madame Ding to change her mind.
"Father." Cao Shuo came to his room: "Isn't it time to go?" ”
"What if your mother-in-law refuses to go back?" Cao Cao asked.
"Then I'll stay here until I persuade her to go back." Cao Shuo said.
Cao Cao was stunned: "You really have a heart!" ”
"A son should share his father's worries." Cao Shuo said: "There is no overnight feud between husband and wife, and my mother-in-law only lost her temper because she felt sorry for her eldest brother. She really refused to go back, and her father gave her some time not to talk too much. I have a way of convincing her. ”
"What can you do?" Cao Cao asked.
Of course, Cao Shuo would not say what he had discussed with Sima Yi.
He said to Cao Cao: "I haven't seen my mother-in-law, and I don't know what to say." When I see her, I'll think about how to phrase it. ”
"Woman!" Cao Cao stood up: "It's really difficult to be petty." ”
At this time, Cao Cao was more like a parent whose family conflicts had not been handled well, and he did not look like a hero at all.
Cao Shuo smiled slightly and followed him out of the room.
From the small village where she settled to Mrs. Ding's hometown, it is only dozens of miles.
Early in the morning until noon, Cao Cao and others came to the entrance of the village.
Cao Cao took Mrs. Ding home, and the patriarch took the prestigious old man in the village out of the village to greet him.
There was something in his heart, how could Cao Cao have the leisure to talk to them more, and after a few words of greeting, he ordered everyone: "Zirong will accompany me in, and the others will stay here and wait." ”
Everyone waited at the entrance of the village, and Cao Cao took Cao Shuo into the village.
When Sima Yi came to the village the night before, the patriarch ordered the clansmen not to run around, so as not to collide with Cao Cao.
The village is quiet when no one walks around.
Cao Cao and Cao Shuo heard the sound of a spinning loom in front of them.
No need to ask, both of them knew that it must be Mrs. Ding weaving.
When he arrived at the door, Cao Shuo saw a middle-aged woman sitting in front of a loom spinning linen.
Although she was over forty years old, the woman's maintenance was very exquisite.
With delicate skin and graceful posture, she exudes the unique charm of a mature woman all over her body.
Cao Cao entered the house, and Cao Shuo waited outside the door.
Squatting beside Mrs. Ding, Cao Cao stroked her back and said, "Don't make any more trouble, will you go home with me?" ”
Mrs. Ding spun with a cold face and ignored him at all.
When did the high-ranking Cao Cao receive such a cold reception.
But he was not annoyed, but said with embarrassment: "Forget me, beg you, come home with me." ”
Cao Cao actually begged for someone......
The style of painting in front of him made Cao Shuo stunned for a while.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Cao Cao would beg for a woman in such a low voice.
However, Cao Cao's pleas did not lead to forgiveness.
Mrs. Ding still ignored him.
"I know it's all my fault." Cao Cao said again: "As long as you go home and talk to me every day, I will never drive you back to your parents' house again." ”
Cao Cao was absolutely sincere, but it was a pity that Mrs. Ding was still spinning the yarn expressionlessly, ignoring him.
With a sigh, Cao Cao stood up.
Seeing that his face was not very good, Cao Shuo hurriedly said, "Father, can you allow me to say a few words to my grandmother?" ”
Glancing at him, Cao Cao didn't say anything and walked out of the room silently.
Cao Shuo raised his feet and entered the house.
