In the face of Lu Lan's words, because they were too unexpected for Lao Cao, Lao Cao didn't know how to respond for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After a while, Lao Cao looked at Lu Lan without makeup, as well as Lu Lan's elegant and plain dress, and said with a dry smile: "You said that you like makeup and good clothes, so you ...... now"

Before he finished speaking, Lao Cao stopped talking, because he knew what Lu Lan would say next. Not to Lao Cao's surprise, Lu Lan immediately responded with a smile: "Isn't Xiaolan afraid of making Cao Gong angry?" Although it is said that it is in the way of the face of my family, you will not embarrass Xiaolan, but Xiaolan can't be so ignorant, right? ”

Lao Cao smiled and shook his head: "That's it." When it comes to sharp teeth and sharp mouths, you are a girl who is better than she was back then. ”

What follows is just some small talk and laughter. To tell the truth, Lao Cao wanted to fight Lu Lan's idea, but Lu Ren dared to let Lu Lan come to Lao Cao, of course, some roads had already been blocked, so Lao Cao could only just look at Lu Lan and be addicted to it.

But on the other hand, Lu Lan is also one of Lao Cao's old friends after all, after putting aside those messy thoughts, he only talks to Lu Lan about some old things and interesting things back then, which is always a pleasure for an old man who is already in his sixties and is always entangled in political struggles, because this can more or less allow him to temporarily put down those troubles and simply enjoy the leisure fun. Taking a step back, chatting with a beautiful woman with elegant but funny conversation is also very pleasant for male animals from 80 to 8 years old.

After chatting for a while, Lu Lan said to Lao Cao very seriously: "Gong Cao, in fact, Xiaolan is here, and she really wants to ask Gong Cao for a favor." ”

Lao Cao stopped when he was lifting a spoon and drinking, squinted his eyes and asked, "Is there anything that the old man needs help with?" ”

Lu Lan smiled slightly: "That's the ......"

――――――――――――――――――――

But he said that Lao Cao invited Lu Lan over, and Chun Quenching just wanted to have a close look and catch up with the old people, and he didn't want to do superfluous things, so he drank wine with Lu Lan in the plum garden and had lunch, and it was over at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Lu Lan said goodbye to Lao Cao and prepared to go back to the post house. And with Lu Lan's identity, of course Lao Cao would not be able to send Lu Lan away, so Lu Lan left from Cao's Mansion by herself.

Just walking in the corridor, Cao Pi suddenly appeared and saluted Lu Lan casually: "Miss Lan, you are polite below." ”

Lu Lan saw that it was Cao Pi, and replied very plainly: "Lu Lan has seen Pi Gongzi." ”

Cao Pi saw that Lu Lan's reaction was so flat, so he took two steps forward and said, "I wonder if Miss Lan is free?" Oh, I don't mean anything else, it's just that after seeing Miss Lan's singing and dancing before, I was shocked by Miss Lan, so I ......"

Without waiting for Cao Pi to finish speaking, Lu Lan smiled faintly and said, "I'm not free." ”

“……”

is such a simple two words, almost didn't provoke Cao Pi on the spot. You need to know that this guy has prepared a lot of rhetoric before, and he thought he could behave in front of Lu Lan, but he was blocked by Lu Lan like this, and his mood would naturally be quite unhappy.

And under this unhappiness, Cao Pi took two steps forward and tried to approach Lu Lan, looking a little annoyed. But don't make a mistake, Cao Pi is not such a simple character. At the moment, I was very unhappy in my heart, but I wanted to say that Cao Pi was angered...... It's better to hehe. In short, to put it simply, Cao Pi's current anger is at least seven points fake.

As soon as he stepped forward here, how could the attendants of the Cao Mansion who sent Lu Lan away dare to stop him? I can't hide from it. And Lu Lan looked at Cao Pi, who was about to come to him, but just smiled and said, "Will Pi Gongzi tell people that because Xiaolan is arrogant and rude, he makes you angry?" ”

Cao Pi's hand had already been raised at this time, and he was about to stretch it out to Lu Lan, but Lu Lan's words made Cao Pi stunned at that time, and the hand that was about to reach out to Lu Lan also stopped there.

Looking at Lu Lan's pretty face with a smile on her face, the person took two steps back lightly and then said to Cao Pi again: "Believe it or not, my lord, he has long expected that your Pi Gongzi will behave like this to Xiao Lan, and no matter whether Xiao Lan greets Pi Gongzi with a smile or reprimands him, you can achieve the purpose in your heart." Of course, the best result is that Xiaolan is rude to Pi Gongzi, so she angers Pi Gongzi, so Xiao Lan will be at fault. ”

Cao Pi was shocked, but he said with a strong face: "You, what are you talking about?" ”

Lu Lan's pretty face smiled like a flower at the moment: "It's boring to say some words, just know what you know." However, he wouldn't let Xiaolan be wronged and carry the black pot, so he gave Xiaolan a trick in advance. ”

Cao Pi was shocked again, but he still insisted on himself: "What are you talking about?" ”

Lu Lan didn't speak this time, but pointed in a certain direction with her backhand. Cao Pi subconsciously looked at Lu Lan's fingers, and his face suddenly turned pale with fright.

Lu Lan gave a salute to Cao Pi at this time, and then prepared to leave directly. However, when passing in front of Cao Pi, Lu Lan stopped and said to Cao Pi: "My lord, he has a sentence for Xiaolan to bring to Pi Gongzi, saying that when a person treats others as fools, then this person is likely to be the biggest fool." Xiaolan is stupid and doesn't understand what it means, but Pi Gongzi is a smart person, so he should be able to understand the meaning of this sentence, right? ”

Cao Pi didn't speak, but just glared at Lu Lan viciously, with the intention of wanting to eat Lu Lan alive.

Not to mention how Lu Lan left abruptly, only said that Cao Pi stood there obediently, and Lao Cao also came to Cao Pi's side. Cao Pi peeked at his old man, and reluctantly squeezed out a sentence: "Father, father, just now that Lu Lan was arrogant and rude to the child, so ......"

Lao Cao snorted coldly: "Proud of yourself? Rude to you? Are you blind in the eyes of your father? And also! You kid really think that the people around Lu Ren are easy to deal with? This little bit of caution of yours, others have already seen through it! ”

Cao Pi was speechless, and could only say in a whispering voice: "Father, father, I, I ......"

Lao Cao glanced sideways at Cao Pi, and his tone suddenly became gloomy and stern: "Kneel!" ”

How dare Cao Pi slack off? He fell to his knees with a thud.

Lao Cao looked at Cao Pi who was kneeling, and the words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "Before becoming a father, I always didn't understand why Cangshu wanted to study in Yizhou so much...... Hmph, it's not that I don't understand, it's just that I don't want to think about it. It's just that I didn't expect that what my father didn't want to think about would be poked out by others today! Zihuan, you bastard! Listen to the old man! The old man is not dead yet!! ”

Cao Pi is not a stupid person, where can he not understand the meaning of Lao Cao's words? And at this moment, he really didn't dare to say a word more.

Lao Cao here flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Kneel!" It was an hour before I got up! Also, during Lu Lan's tour in Hebei, you are not allowed to appear within 100 steps of her! Otherwise, there are things you don't think about anymore. ”

Cao Pi heard the cold sweat on his body.

Lao Cao was ready to leave at this time. However, after taking two steps, Lao Cao suddenly stopped, first waved his hand and signaled the attendants to retreat away, then turned around and looked at Cao Pi, and then squinted his eyes and said, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." If you can't even endure this little thing now, then it only means that you are not a person who can do great things, and you can only lose in the future when you fight those annoying guys. ”

After a pause, Lao Cao continued: "Although Chong'er is very smart, his current way of avoiding trouble seems to be a little weak, and he may not be able to calm it down at some point, which makes his father a little disappointed." As for you...... Alas, you'd better do it yourself. ”

After saying this, Lao Cao left his back to Cao Pi and left on his own. Just walking, Lao Cao was also sighing softly. In Lao Cao's sleeve pocket, there was another letter that Lu Ren asked Lu Lan to bring to Lao Cao, a "tyrannical" letter.

――――――――――――――――――――

Here in Yizhou, Lu Ren was playing with Xiao Lu, who was just over half a year old in the cradle, and Zhen Mi next to him had just closed his clothes again...... Don't get me wrong, Zhen Mi just finished feeding Lu You.

Seeing that Lu Ren was making little Lu You happy, Zhen Mi didn't make a sound to disturb Lu Ren's family fun, plus he had been breastfeeding Lu You for a long time just now, so he would go out of the room for a walk. It just so happened that someone sent a telegram to Lu Ren at this time, and Zhen Mi took it and sent it to Lu Ren. After reading the contents of the telegram by the way, Zhen Mi couldn't help but ask Lu Ren curiously, "What kind of letter did you ask Xiaolan to bring to Lao Cao?" ”

Lu Ren took the telegram and looked at it, then threw it aside, lowered his head and continued to tease Xiao Lu You, and said to Zhen Mi: "Oh, it's nothing special, it's just to tell Lao Cao the true intention of his baby son to come to our Yizhou." ”

Zhen Mi was dumbfounded: "You also told Lao Cao about this?" What if you guess wrong? ”

Lu Ren looked sideways at Zhen Mi and said with a smile: "What if it's wrong?" Lao Cao, can he still fly to Yizhou to bite me? Besides, what does it matter to me about his old Cao? And for me, if I poke these things out to Lao Cao, Xiaolan's safety on Lao Cao's side will be further guaranteed, which is what I care about. ”

Zhen Miqi said: "Why do you say that? Didn't Lao Cao put Cao Cangshu here with us? ”

Lu Ren shook his fingers: "It is precisely because Cao Cangshu is here that some people want to fight Xiaolan's idea." Ah Mi, if you still don't understand, you might as well think about it, if something happens to Xiaolan in Hebei, and this matter is a little implicated with Lao Cao, and then with the relationship between me and Xiaolan, then how will I treat Cao Cangshu? ”

Zhen Mi was stunned, and after thinking about it again, she responded: "If you don't say anything, you have to be under house arrest, right?" ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "Our Xiaolan is so beautiful, and now she is already a famous singer in the world, I don't know how many men's souls have been shook." If someone uses this as an excuse to say that it is difficult to control their feelings for Xiaolan, and they do something wrong on impulse, and then respectfully apologize to me, then can I still arrest and kill this person for the sake of face? Besides, if the person who deliberately did something wrong is more noble in terms of identity, will he cause me a lot of trouble if I really move him? At least in the mouths of those scholars, most of them will say that I, Lu Ren, am so embarrassed by a nobleman just for a woman, and then the good reputation that I have worked so hard to build will be ruined in one fell swoop. ”

Zhen Mi is Lu Ren's secretary general and Minister of Finance, and he is very clear about the doorway, so he turned his eyes and figured out the importance of this, and then nodded to Lu Ren and said, "I understand what you mean." It's just that in this case, why did you let Xiaolan go to Hebei? Those people really did all the dirty things for the sake of the struggle for power, what if something really happened to Xiaolan? ”

Lu Ren smiled and pointed to the telegram that he had just thrown aside: "That's why I'm going to poke this matter out to Lao Cao!" Our current strength is very different from before, and Lao Cao has to be afraid of us, and he definitely doesn't want to turn his face with us if he doesn't have to. At this time, I asked Xiaolan to say hello to Lao Cao, and Lao Cao would naturally pay special attention to protecting Xiaolan's safety, and would also give stern warnings to some people. ”

At this point, Lu Ren paused, stretched out his finger to tease Xiao Lu You, and then continued to Zhen Mi: "Since Lao Cao has made a clear statement, if some people make another move, the person who offends will not be me, but Lao Cao." If you offend me, those people may not have much to do with them; But if they offend Lao Cao, they will have a hard time in the future! ”

Zhen Mi nodded, but still couldn't help but be worried: "Having said that, but the current situation is that Cao, Liu and Sun are competing with each other, and Sun and Liu will also count on you and Lao Cao to make trouble, if it is someone from these two sides......"

Lu Ren smiled again: "Ah Mi, have you stayed at home during this time to stay at home and have a bad mind?" The most fearful thing about this kind of thing is to be picked out! If Lao Cao didn't give a strict order, then when Xiaolan had an accident, even if Lao Cao and I both knew in our hearts that this was someone else's trick, the spearhead could only be pointed at each other, in other words, the dumb person ate Coptis chinensis, and he knew that he was suffering, and he could only swallow it in his stomach if he knocked out his teeth.

"But once the matter is clarified, everyone in the world will know who the person who can do this thing can only be, so the person who originally wanted to provoke the relationship between me and Lao Cao will have no point in doing this kind of thing again. After all, no matter how you say it, these people still want their face on the bright side. In my opinion, when it comes to that part, the people who originally wanted to provoke not only did not dare to provoke, but on the contrary, for the sake of their face, they had to find a way to protect our Xiaolan in secret. ”

Zhen Mi said: "Then on the other hand, will Lao Cao use this relationship to provoke the relationship between you and others?" ”

Lu Ren said: "There is this possibility, so I also told Lao Cao in the letter, if Xiaolan has any accidents, I don't ask right or wrong, I don't ask right or wrong, I will stop the trade with you Lao Cao for a year." Because no matter what, if Xiaolan has an accident, it is also your Lao Cao's poor protection, and we have every reason to interrupt trade exchanges. In the words of the bright side, we don't fight, because if we fight for this kind of thing, the name of the teacher is a little wrong. But if something like that happens, we are going to be angry, and it is more justifiable to interrupt trade with Lao Cao for a year. Lao Cao suffered such a big loss from me not long ago, and I believe that he will not dare to provoke me on this kind of issue in a short time. ”

Saying that, he looked up at the somewhat hesitant look on Zhen Mi's face, and Lu Ren smiled again: "Are you blaming me for being too scheming and throwing Xiaolan into such a dangerous situation?" ”

"I ......"

Zhen Mi really has such a meaning, so she doesn't know how to respond at the moment.

Lu Ren smiled again: "Don't worry!" Where will I ignore our Xiaolan? Xiaolan has several talisman 'magic weapons' on her body that I specially gave him! Want to get close to her? It's hard! ”

Zhen Mi felt a little relieved, but there was obviously a little sour in her next tone: "If you say so, then I will rest assured." But...... Sometimes I really envy Xiaolan, you always think so much about her. Sometimes I wonder if there is really a little bit of ...... between you and her."

Zhen Mi was embarrassed to say the latter words, but Lu Ren stretched out his finger and tapped it on Zhen Mi's skull, and scolded with a smile: "What are you thinking about?" It's just ambiguous between me and Xiaolan, do you understand ambiguous? Then again, if I really wanted to touch Xiaolan, where would Xiaolan be like this? Do you envy her? She actually envy you! ”

Zhen Mi smiled dumbly and didn't continue. Some words are enough to say a few words, it's not a good thing to say too much, as a smart woman, she won't make such a mess. Although Zhen Mi in history complained about Cao Pi and died because of it, how long has Cao Pi been snubbing Zhen Mi? Another one, Zhen Mi was in her forties at that time, and when she reached women's menopause, it was normal for something to become a chatter. But such a problem doesn't exist here in Lu Ren, right? At least at least, Zhen Mi, who stayed by Lu Ren's side, did not have menopause problems.

Temporarily put down the topic and teased Xiao Lu You with Lu Ren, but Zhen Mi thought about it and asked Lu Ren: "Yihao, I still don't understand a little." Xiaolan went to Hebei for a tour this time, although you have already made a lot of preparations, but after all, there are still a lot of risks, why do you insist on letting Xiaolan take these risks to Hebei? ”

Lu Ren stopped what he was doing, and after a little muttering, he sighed lightly: "On the bright side, we must give the face of the Son of Heaven and Lao Cao's face, otherwise we will be a little unreasonable here, and people with ulterior motives will even use the topic to say that my Lu Ren's respect for the Son of Heaven is pretended." Of course, I can ignore this, it's just that some people's mouths, if we can plug them, we should try to plug them as much as possible. Also......"

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled evilly and looked at Zhen Mi's chest that had swelled a lot recently because she had just given birth to Lu You: "Ah Mi, should we make a bet?" ”

Zhen Mi was stunned, but when she looked at Lu Ren's cheap gaze, she scolded angrily: "What do you want to do?" ”

Lu Ren smiled evilly: "I bet that after Xiaolan goes to Hebei to go around like this, the trade income between us and Hebei can be at least 10% more." If you lose......"

How could Zhen Mi not know where Lu Renwang was? With her understanding of Lu Ren, how could she not know what kind of bad things Lu Ren would say next? So he smashed Lu Ren with a punch right away:

"Don't bet!!"
