Chapter 30: Cao Cao's Coercion

Watching Cao Cao eat the freshly baked cake one bite at a time, Yuan Yun felt distressed, he hadn't even had time to taste the taste, but at this moment, he was used as a snack by Cao Apu, and he had no intention of returning it at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao saw Yuan Yun staring at him, so he raised the cake in his hand, and then said contemptuously: "What? Reluctant? ”

Yuan Yun immediately put on a smiling face, and brought a cup of tea over, and then replied: "Cao Sikong, you eat slowly, the cake is better with tea, don't dare to choke." ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, but he didn't rush to take the tea, but handed the huge cake in his hand to Guo Jia behind him, and then took the teacup from Yuan Yun's hand, and then took a sip, it seemed that he really enjoyed it.

After enjoying the tea, Cao Cao immediately took back the cake from Guo Jia's hand, still holding it tightly in his hand, and tore off two pieces for Cao Ang and Guo Jia, and then tasted another one himself, and kept nodding and praising the deliciousness.

Yuan Yun originally thought that if he reached the teacup, Cao Cao would return the cake to himself, but now it seems that this careful thinking has failed, and then look at the huge cake, which has been eaten a quarter of it at the moment, and can't help but feel sour and unbearable, he has put a lot of effort into it, but he didn't taste a bite, but he was cheaper than others, and he was unlucky.

Cao Cao didn't pay attention to Yuan Yun's 'grudge' on his face, but pointed to the location of the study in the backyard, and walked over with Cao Ang and Guo Jia.

When Cao Cao finally came to Yuan Yun's study, the big cake was only half left, and after eating so much, Cao Cao seemed to be a little thirsty, so he walked around Yuan Yun's study, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found a very simple teapot pottery.

This teapot is a little eccentric, not as translucent as porcelain, nor as dull as pottery, this pottery is not pottery, porcelain is not porcelain teapot color is warm, quaint and lovely, natural color, not kitsch, and the literati temperament is very similar.

Cao Cao himself is a literary master, so he naturally liked this little teapot, so he immediately couldn't put it down when he held it in his hand, and in an instant he ordered Qing'er, who had been following and waiting, to fill some tea to moisten his mouth.

Qing'er saw Cao Cao like a bird seeing an eagle, where did he dare to resist, holding the teapot and filling it with water.

Yuan Yun looked at this scene and his heart was dripping blood, this teapot is not an ordinary thing, in the previous life, a colleague suddenly made a purple clay pot to show off, and Yuan Yun, who was not willing to lag behind, was also ready to get one, but after asking the price, he knew that the thing was not something he could consume at all.

However, after coming to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Yun found that his values were constantly changing, and things that he originally thought were very expensive suddenly became cheaper, such as the raw materials of this purple clay pot, which was only an accidental discovery by Deng Ba, and then Deng Ba burned a few pieces of pottery at will.

When Yuan Yun found those pottery, he was immediately overjoyed, so Deng Ba began to transport this purple sand from Jingzhou Road to Xudu, and Yuan Yun specially fired it in the craftsman's yard in Yuan's mansion.

And the clay pot that Cao Cao took away is the best one that Yuan Yun thinks is burned, and now it has entered the hands of Cao Agui, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get it back.

Cao Cao didn't care so much, he wandered around Yuan Yun's study, stuffed it in his arms when he saw good things, in addition to the purple clay pot, he also took a fancy to a necklace made of metal, but he felt strange, I don't know why Yuan Yun wanted to make it into a cross shape?

Yuan Yun really didn't want Cao Cao, a thief, to continue to plague his study, so he immediately pulled over a Taishi chair, and then invited the old man to sit down.

At this moment, Qing'er just filled the tea, so he carefully sent it up, Cao Cao looked at the purple clay pot full of tea, and suddenly cherished it even more, this pot is not big or small, just enough to play with in his hand, and I have seen Yuan Yun directly pouring water into the mouth of the pot before, and I feel that drinking tea like that when I am alone, it is enough to taste.

So at this moment took the teapot, then play in the hand, at the moment in the early spring weather, there is still a little chill, there is this pot in the hand is really comfortable, until the tea warms from heat, immediately drink a sip to the mouth, warm the mouth and warm the whole body Shutai, good tea.

Yuan Yun looked at Cao Cao's leisurely appearance, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, it is definitely not simple for Cao Apu to come to his house today, it must be for the reconstruction of the new city, but you Cao Apu doesn't want to think about it, I, Yuan Yun, want to build a new city wall in Xudu, and I want to go to Zhang Luoyang to rebuild, where is there still time now?

Cao Cao drank the last drop of tea with a sigh, and then looked at Yuan Yun and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, do you feel that you have too many things to be responsible for?" It's the city wall of Xudu again, and it's Luoyang, have you guessed that the old man is going to hand over the reconstruction of the new city to you and Cao Ang? ”

Yuan Yun arched his hand and said, "Cao Sikong, General Cao Ren should have been responsible for the reconstruction of the new city, and he also agreed, so why bother to change it?" ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly, thinking of the impeachment movements every day, he felt that the whole person was not good, so he immediately continued: "Every day the princes in the court are discussing this matter, don't you plan to share some of it as an official of the court?" After all, you kid is also a national candidate. ”

National? Lao Tzu's cheap country is a joke of Xu Du, there is no fief, no reward, and there is not even a basic right, this is also a national candidate? Even if it is a petty official, the court will reward a few acres of land.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he also seemed to feel that Yuan Yun's country was a little too cheap, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "You are Qinghe's Langjun, Qinghe is the old man's favorite daughter, just this point, you kid also have to solve the old man's worries." ”

Well, it sounds much more pleasant to the ear, for Qinghe'er, it has to pay some labor, but now it's the mother and son, and they don't dare to delay.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yuncai finally showed a flattering smile and said, "What Lord Yuezhang said is that since it is Lord Yue's difficulty, as a son-in-law, you must do your filial piety......"

Cao Cao finally showed a smile when he heard this, but in an instant, Yuan Yun continued: "But Qinghe is pregnant now, and I don't have a fief in this country, and my family lives on my golden Cao's money, which is really stretched, by the way, Cao Sikong, before I returned from Chang'an, you also fined me for a year, this is an adult and a child, I need to support, there is really no extra money." ”

Cao Cao just had a hint of a smile, and it disappeared in an instant, frowning and saying with a very unhappy lesson: "You bastard boy is crying poor with the old man, you really don't know the old man about your ability to make money?"

Your hotel's business is only taxed with the imperial court a year, there are 30,000 yuan, unless you evade taxes, otherwise you will make a profit of 30 percent, and your kid will be so fat that he will be oily. ”

After speaking, Cao Cao saw Qing'er come in with vegetables and fruits, and immediately pointed to the timid girl and said: "Even if the soap business in charge of Qing'er does not ship much, it can pay a thousand yuan in taxes a year, I am afraid that even if your Yuan Mansion stops all business, this soap is enough for your family to eat and drink."

And your shopkeeper with the price outside, which is not a good hand, your Aunt Bian only nagged the old man a few days ago, saying that the shopkeepers she raised are all wine bags and rice bags, and even a small shopkeeper in your family can top ten, not to mention the big shopkeepers in your family.

In order to punish Liu Biao on Jingzhou Road, the old man closed all the passes and roads, but I didn't expect that these shopkeepers of your family can still bypass Jingzhou and go directly to Yizhou, and earn back the wealth for your Yuan family every year. ”

Seeing Yuan Yun covering the back of his head and smirking, Cao Cao sighed again and said, "If you kid didn't press you down for the old man, do you know the consequences?" Just a private concubine matter is enough to get you to prison. ”

Yuan Yun was secretly shocked in his heart, this matter still couldn't be hidden from Cao Cao, but at this moment, since Cao Cao said it clearly and proved that he had passed the test, he quickly squeezed out a face of gratitude, and then thanked him for his kindness.

Cao Cao seemed to be very annoyed, knocked on the table with his knuckles, and continued: "You Yuan Yun makes so much money, there are many people in Xu Du's eyes, and you and Xu Yi and their brothers are also very good, you don't say that you will be eaten after eating, do you know how many people are red in Xu Du's eyes?" Without the old man to press you, how can you make a lot of money so comfortably, and show the old man a face. ”

Seeing that Cao Cao no longer mentioned anything Dong Guifei, Yuan Yuncai buckled his chin and said with a wry smile: "Lord Yue, you also know, Xincheng boy I have invested a lot, these are not a penny and a half saving, basically the kid will invest in whatever he has, try to give Xincheng the greatest financial support, this aspect did not let the court worry, nor did those red-eyed people pay money, so I didn't fill my pocket with the money you just said." ”

Although Cao Cao said very angrily, but his heart was very peaceful, Yuan Yun just called him Cao Sikong at first, this is the posture of business, and then began to shout Lord Yuezhang, then it has softened, that is, there is no resistance to the reconstruction of the new city.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao snorted comfortably, and drank the tea that had just been filled up by Qing'er in the purple clay pot again, and then nodded: "If it weren't for your kid's redundancy and selfishness, how could the old man let you be so nonsense again and again?" So don't complain to the old man, you shot so many people in the Xu capital, even if you are reasonable, you can't be so bold, can the old man embarrass you for this matter?

That's why you don't understand the old man's good intentions, now you are still young, and you are good at studying, in the future, you are the old man to rely on the right man, remember not to commit the old man's taboo. ”

Yuan Yun was slightly shocked in his heart, Cao Cao is half a warning, half a cage, and he is full of grace and power, if he is still full of nonsense, he will inevitably be caught by this murderer through the ages and fed to the dogs.

After straightening his clothes a little, Yuan Yun replied solemnly: "The kid Yuan Yun is deeply favored by the Cao family, how can there be any reason not to repay it, the kid dares to swear to the sky, everything he does is for the sake of the Cao family's future, and there is no selfishness." ”

Cao Cao's face immediately melted, and he smiled very happily: "Seeing that you are the son-in-law of the old man, those things don't concern you, but the reconstruction of this new city, don't you want to shirk it anymore?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "The money still has to be paid by General Cao Ren, so it is fairer." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "It's arranged like this, you stingy boy, it is estimated that if you come to pay this money, you will definitely rob Cao Ren's family even worse, so the money and materials for the reconstruction of the new city are still from Cao Ren, you and Cao Ang only need to take over the matter, so that the princes of the court and the central government can also shut up, and the old man will have a few days of cleanliness." ”

Yuan Yun didn't dwell on this matter, and nodded honestly.

Originally, this matter came to an end, and Cao Cao should go home, so that he could enjoy the cream cake cleanly, but when he tilted his head and saw Guo Jia licking his fingers, he actually ate all the rest of the cake, leaving no piece.

Take a look at Cao Ang again, this guy has an expression that he didn't participate in grabbing the cake, but can't you wipe the cream off the corner of your mouth before loading it?

It's okay to say that the cake is gone, but some people just like to toss.

I saw Guo Jia standing up slowly, as if he had eaten too much cake and burped, so he said with a smile: "It's rare to come to Yuan's mansion, Yuan Hou is very free today, why don't you entertain me and my lord for dinner, and we can talk about Luoyang during the banquet." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched, if it weren't for Cao Cao's presence, he would have wanted to tie Guo Jia up and practice boxing as a sandbag for an afternoon.
