——160 A.D.——

The rumors about the "very fierce Miss Cai" were naturally not inquired about by Cao Cao himself, but by his younger brother Yuan Shao.

Yes, that's right, little brother.

When Cao Cao first saw Yuan Shao, it was in Luoyang Market, each under the escort of a group of healthy servants, and the little fat man said proudly: "I am the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, you have to salute me!" ”

At that time, there were two major families in Luoyang, the Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong, because they avoided the general Liang Ji and his party, and obtained many important official positions after the emperor got rid of the Liang family, among which Yuan Shao's biological father Yuan Feng and uncle Yuan Kui were respectively "Sikong" and "Situ", both ranked as "three dukes", plus their father, grandfather and great-grandfather all served as three dukes, and they were called "four worlds and three dukes".

Cao Cao could come up with a hundred ways to clean up this little fat man, but at that time, his "stand-in" muttered next to him, "The Fourth World and the Third Duke?" Only one mother? All of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden.

If you think about it carefully, unless you are as young and intelligent as yourself, how can an ordinary child understand what "Four Worlds and Three Princes" is? Most of it was just his family's repeated instructions and hard to remember.

So Cao Cao responded that day: "My family's 'three worlds and four dukes' are more powerful than your family." ”

Although it sounds like a child's language to others, if you think about it, it is right, Cao Cao can be called "Cao Gongzi", Cao Song is called "Cao Gong", and as for Cao Teng, it is "Cao Gonggong" - "Three Worlds and Four Princes".

Yuan Shao obviously didn't know that the "three dukes" were not the other three "dukes", but there was no doubt that it was four to three, and he counted for a long time with his short and fat fingers, and finally ran away crying.

Cao Song learned that he couldn't cry or laugh, so he took Cao Cao to visit, so the emperor trusted the eunuch very much, and the Yuan family would not care about children's jokes in Cao Teng's face, but Cao Song had to show that he did not underestimate the "three dukes".

After this incident, Cao Cao learned Yuan Shao's identity: he was originally the eldest son of Yuan Fengshu, and he had a younger brother Yuan Shu, who succeeded Yuan Cheng because his uncle Zuo Zhonglang made Yuan childless.

Cao Cao couldn't imagine what it was like for Yuan Shao to call his own father an uncle, and he consciously bullied him a little, and then eased his attitude towards him a little, and as a result, he gained a loyal little brother.

Yuan Shu was still young and couldn't go out, so when Cao Cao was arranged by Cao Song to learn from Cai Yong, he also pulled Yuan Shao on the pretext that he needed companions to study.

————

"You said that Miss Cai is very fierce, what kind of murder is it?"

When he rode a carriage with Yuan Shao to Cai Yong's house to study, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask Yuan Shao.

At this time, Cai Yong's "long history" for Qiao Xuan is similar to that of the staff, whether the work is busy or not is only related to Qiao Xuan's own duties, and Qiao Xuan is in charge of civil affairs, unless the annual festival sacrifice or disaster occurs, the usual work can not be pressed on Cai Yong's head.

Cao Cao had heard that Cai Yong was dissatisfied with the fact that he could not give full play to his talents after being recruited, but he stayed in Luoyang because his wife gave birth to a daughter for him and could not travel far.

"Hmm," Yuan Shao blinked and drew a big circle with his hands: "Super-fierce." ”

"Uh-huh!" The "stand-in" on the side burst out laughing, but no one except Cao Cao noticed it.

"Okay," Cao Cao said helplessly, "Tell me what you did on the day you found out that she was 'super fierce'." ”

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and then said, "That day, I followed my father to Cai's house to meet Master Qiao, and I met her while wandering. ”

Disguised as a private affair, both parties are careful not to meet at home, but to meet at the home of a subordinate of one of the parties, and also with children, they are going to ...... Who to avoid?

The two three dukes met secretly, if it was not to avoid the emperor's ears and eyes to rebel, it was ...... To deal with eunuchs?

Cao Cao's eyebrows were slightly raised, but after thinking about it, his grandfather Cao Teng can be said to be an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and he has almost no contact with the "Five Marquis" who are now flying and domineering, and if those families want to deal with eunuchs, they will not be embarrassed by this kind of similar mainstay existence.

"Oh, so what, what did you say to her?" Cao Cao's mind turned sharply, but he continued to ask with an unchanged expression.

"I said, 'The fourth and third princes of my family, you have to salute me,'......" Yuan Shao said with little confidence.

"And then?" Cao Cao had some guesses about the next development, probably because Miss Cai scolded him for her knowledge?

Yuan Shao replied: "Then she picked up the monkey and beat me." ”

Cao Cao: "??? ”

This Cai Changshi still raises monkeys at home? No, what is the posture of "picking up the monkey"?

"What kind of monkey is it?" Cao Cao asked confusedly.

"That's it...... Miss Cai's family has been holding and fiddling, about the same size as her, small at the top and wide at the bottom, a golden monkey ......" Yuan Shao gestured.

Cao Cao: "......"

Always hugging a monkey? That's really fierce, but I always feel that something is wrong......

In confusion, the carriage arrived at Cai's mansion, because Cao Song and Yuan Feng did not come this time, so Cai Yong did not come out to greet him, and it was the housekeeper of the Cai family who welcomed Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's carriage into the mansion.

Beside the housekeeper stood a girl of the same age as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, dressed in a small emerald green dress, her soft hair tied into a bun at the back of her head, and a silver bell tied to each other, holding a gilded twenty-four strings about the size of herself.

"It's the 'monkey'!" Yuan Shao immediately pointed.

Cao Cao felt that his previous thinking was a complete waste, so he reached out to flick Yuan Shao's brain: "I think you are a monkey!" ”

"At least...... He pronounced it correctly," the stand-in said, smiling.

Cao Cao straightened out his somewhat distorted expression, got out of the carriage, said hard work to the housekeeper, and then said to the girl: "Cao Cao has seen Miss Cai." ”

At present, although due to the revival of the aura and the awakening of Wushuang regardless of men and women, the status of women has been greatly improved, but most people are still reluctant to let female relatives show up, but Cai Yong directly asked her daughter to welcome guests, combined with the situation of Yuan Shao's "being beaten", this young lady is either born with divine power, or awakens some kind of "Wushuang" - most of them are inseparable from that Konghou.

"Cai Zhenji has seen the little son of the Cao family," the girl saluted Cao Cao, although she was young and her movements were a little deformed, but there was nothing wrong with the etiquette.

"Cai Changshi actually took the word for Zhen Ji?" Cao Cao asked with some envy.

Children are not as polite as adults, and it is common to call him by his first name or nickname, but Cao Cao has no words and refuses to let outsiders call him by his nickname, so he and Yuan Shao have always been called by a big name.

"Father...... Take precautions, choose a name for the child in advance," the girl hesitated for a moment before saying: "The little girl's name is Cai Wan, the word Zhenji, if there is another sister, it will be called Cai Tan, the word Zhaoji." ”

"Hahaha! Bowls, bowls! Yuan Shao just jumped out of the car and laughed when he heard this.

Cao Cao only felt a chill all over his body, and the young lady of the Cai family blew past him like a gust of wind, and the little fat man Yuan Shao was still smirking, and she had already picked up the gonghou and knocked him to the ground.

"Whew......" Cai Wan put away the unscathed Konghou, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Cao Cao: "Let Cao Xiaogongzi smile." ”

"It's basically certain that she has also awakened 'Wushuang'" The stand-in said: "But it's different from my type." ”

Nonsense, of all the "unparalleled characteristics" that have been actually recorded, I have never heard of anyone who can speak.

Cao Cao scolded and said to Cai Wan: "It's okay, I also think he should be beaten." ”

Seeing that Cai Wan raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be about to communicate with him on the topic of "beating Yuan Shao", Cao Cao hurriedly diverted the topic: "But about Ling Mei's name, Zhen Ji is probably wrong, it should be Cai Yan (Yan) instead of Cai Tan." ”

"Could it be that Cao Xiaogongzi thinks this name is not good?" Cai Wan plucked the strings of Konghou.

"No, no, it's just that if Cai Changshi has already chosen a name, it won't be unrelated," Cao Cao said: "Wan Zi, which means a concave jade, and Yan Zi, refers to a raised jade, if it is a sister name, it means that they hope they will support each other, Zhen Ji and Zhao Ji also have similar allusions, if you talk about words, but a little inexplicable." ”

Cao Cao explained as best he could, lest Cai Wan smash Gong Hou over without saying a word, and even felt some sweat on his forehead.

"It's a shame." The "stand-in" relied on others to be invisible, and grimaced in front of Cao Cao.

"Hey~You are different from others~" Cao Cao couldn't wait for a response, thinking that it was going to be bad, but after seeing Cai Wan's eyes blink, he showed a smile: "After other young people who came to apprentice heard this name, they often tried their best to praise the name as good as they could, and forcibly looked for a connection, only you insisted that it was wrong." ”

"Huh......" Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief: "So, it's really wrong?" ”

"What is right or wrong for parents to choose names for their children?" Cai Wan shook his head and said: "It's my father who really named his sister Cai Tan, who has the right to refute it?" This is just a test of your father, if you praise you directly or if you are under the slightest pressure, you will change your words, and take them to the front hall to join the ordinary students, and if you argue with reason, you will take them to the back house for worship. ”

"Apprenticeship?" "Apprentice!?" Cao Cao was quite surprised, and even Yuan Shao, who fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, jumped up.

"Cao Gong and Yuan Gong asked each other, and my father would not refuse, but he set a small test," Cai Wan glanced at Yuan Shao: "Although he ridiculed it a lot, he also expressed his opposition to the name 'Cai Tan', so it was considered passed." ”

Trust me, he's just stupid...... Cao Cao said silently in his heart.

"Now, come with me to see my father," Cai Wan led the way, and said with a smile: "Two 'junior brothers'~"

"What, what should I do, Cao Cao?" Yuan Shao had a bitter face: "I heard that 'a teacher for one day and a father for life', after apprenticeship, wouldn't she, who is a sister, fight as much as she wants?" ”

"Don't worry, no one will treat a monkey as a younger brother." Cao Cao looked back at him and shook his head.

Yuan Shao: "??? ”
