As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the expressions of many adults on the table changed.

"My lord, no." Cheng Yu and Chen Gong, the most sturdy advisors, spoke at the same time. The two of them froze for a while at each other's voices, then looked at each other, then looked away with disgust, and looked at Cao Cao eagerly together.

The reason is obvious.

Cao Sheng's family is too deep and unfathomable. Leaving aside the all-pervasive espionage department, and not to mention her enormous influence in the academic world, the amount of food and officials brought in by sea has already reached an astonishing number. And Cao Sheng has never shown any signs of pressure, which makes people think.

Cao Shuo, who is not so strict with his mouth, once said that there are thousands of fields and thousands of people overseas. This property hidden under the water is no longer the level of the rich, it is the power that can shake the rule and start wars.

The biggest reason why Cao Cao Group can keep friendly with Cao Sheng's forces is that she has no children. This means that Cao Ang will inherit the legacy of his father and his second uncle at the same time, realizing the great integration of all the political forces of the Cao family.

But once Cao Sheng has his own heir... No one wants to imagine a tragic future where brothers are against each other.

"Is the eldest son not good enough?" Chen Gong directly pierced the window paper, "It made the lord come up with a different idea."

Cao Cao's face sank, and his eyes seemed to be staring at Chen Gong, but Yu Guang had already taken everyone's expressions into his eyes:

All counsellors generally show a resistance attitude, but the expression management of each person is different. The shrewd person, like Jia Xu, and the clear-headed person, like Guo Jia, can look as usual, but the two who are the most restless almost jump directly to the food table.

The political awareness of generals is not so strong, and most of them are still in a state of ignorance. But the high-ranking brothers like Xiahou and Guan Hai also felt something was wrong, and the corners of their mouths drooped unconsciously.

When it comes to women and children, it becomes a form of living beings.

Mrs. Bian and Madam Huan are both anxious, but one is mixed with anticipation, and the other is mixed with reluctance.

The most amazing thing is that Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang did not raise their eyebrows. Obviously in the center of the storm, but the years are quiet.

Cao Pi is young, but he can understand the meaning of "adopting". He looked at Cao Sheng and his mother, Mrs. Bian, his eyes changed back and forth between anticipation and reluctance.

Cao Zhang held the chicken leg in his mouth and raised his head in confusion, probably wondering why so many strangers were looking at him. Cao Zhang down is too young, the neurodevelopment and knowledge level are not enough to support them to realize what is happening right now.

He looked around and turned back to Chen Gong and Cheng Yu. Cao Cao sneered and lost his chopsticks. "Don't I know what you're worrying about? It's just that I'm not only a master, but also a brother." He pointed at Ah Sheng, and there was a bit of anger in his words, "She worked hard for the great cause you mentioned. For half my life, now I am sick and injured, but there is no one serving soup and medicine under my knees! I am just starting up, but what are you thinking? It's too deceiving!"

Accompanied by the sound of smashing the table, there was silence in the originally singing and dancing room. The chirping, playing and singing retreated as early as when Cao Cao started talking. Cao Zhi said "Aah" twice to express his dissatisfaction, and then he shut his mouth obediently.

The only focal point in the middle of the venue is Chen Gong who is unable to advance or retreat.

In this situation, only Xun You, who is friendly with the twins, can make a round. Under the expectant gaze of his colleagues, this old classmate of Ah Sheng bravely stood up and cupped his hands: "What do you think of Zhonghua himself?"

However, Cao Cao, who used to be good-natured and good-natured in the past, did not eat this at all today, and raised his hand to block Ah Sheng: "Don't use justice to persecute her - Ah Ang, gentlemen are worried about you, what do you say?"

Cao Ang, who pretended to be defeated by the crowd, stood up helplessly: "I think it's pretty good."

"What is good? Say it clearly." Cao Cao blowing his beard, this eldest son somehow developed the problem of opening his mouth to say good, even the parents heard him spit out the word "good" All false.

Cao Ang smiled harmlessly: "Our eight brothers and sisters, we can't all cultivate the waste of the country except the worshipers. After all, they want to have their own achievements, and now they are Strictly guard against letting them get close to the second uncle. In the future, they will enter school, make friends, and become a board member. Wouldn't it make people sleepless at night?"

"The eldest son's words are bad." Cheng Yu said, "Every son has his own achievements, but his achievements have reached the point where Zhong Huagong can compete with the sun and the moon for glory. It can't help but worry."

Cao Ang clapped his hands, and the words he said were even more terrifying: "What gentlemen know, the second uncle naturally knows better than anyone else. With the second uncle as a person, even if he adopts a certain younger brother and sister, only I'm afraid that most of the property will be left to my father's heirs, so I'm not worried at all."

It's time for a face-to-face estate distribution. Cao Cao was angry: "You really dare to say anything! Your second uncle is still alive and well!"

Cao Ang shut up and returned to his seat, looking innocent. This is what you asked me to say.

Cao Cao understood his eyes, and became more and more angry. It was Mrs. Ding who opened her mouth in time to interrupt Cao Cao's anger. "A Pi once lived in Zhonghua for more than a month, and it was very harmonious; A Chong had the best talent for learning ink craftsmanship, and could inherit Erlang's knowledge; A Zhi spoke early and looked like a smart child; No one can compare to Ah Jie; but if it is reasonable to choose Ah Chang, Ah Chang is straightforward and martial, and he will definitely not be the treacherous person who worries about the gentlemen in the future."

Mrs. Ding smiled at Cao Cao: "In this way, several children in our family have their own advantages. Even the eldest couple, Sun Lang and Ah Zhen, let them pick up Zhong Hua. If you go to Lujiang to support you, you will not refuse."

"That's nature." Sun Ce was shocked, patted his chest and assured, "The Lujiang River is beautiful, and the rice, bamboo shoots and mandarin fish that the second uncle likes are often found in the four seasons. Peng Ze[Note 1] The smoke and waves are vast, the water and the sky meet, and compared with Onozawa, there is a hazy and beautiful scenery..."

"You almost stopped, don't show your stuff."

Sun Xiaoce refused to accept: "I have also read the Book of Songs."

Cao Cao laughed, and the tense atmosphere just disappeared. The counselors exchanged glances with each other. At present, the most important members of the Cao family are the eldest sons, who are already full of wings. This is very stable. I just want the two on the head not to be confused.

Cao Cao didn't seem to hear the voices of everyone, and still didn't give up the idea of ​​letting Ah Sheng adopt one. He took his sister's hand and said softly: "Asheng, let's just talk about family affairs. I also saw you hurt twice: that time in the Ta family, I was young and arrogant and did not do things well, and I was implicated in you; Your Majesty is in trouble. , it’s easy to hide with a gun, and it’s hard to guard against an arrow. I’ve thought about it, probably because I’m not my own child, and I’m too involved. Now I have a lot of children, and I have adopted one or two to my sonless brothers. It should be. Even the fourth brother who died young, someone will inherit the incense in the future."

A Sheng was holding the warm wine cup. "Brother and sister have good intentions. However..." she sighed, "The three brothers Aang have already grown up, let's not talk about it for the time being, the remaining few - bring Zhuzhu over."

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Huan's face was full of anxiety, while Mrs. Bian couldn't hide her loss.

Cao Jie was carried to the second uncle by the nurse, and laughed. She was still young and wore relatively simple shorts and skirts. The pink and tender cotton cloth made her Yuxue cute.

A Sheng opened her arms, and the little girl threw herself into her arms as if she had suffered a great grievance. "Father, fierce."

Cao Cao:…

"Father is fierce, then we don't want him, shall we? Zhuzhu be the second uncle's daughter, okay?"

The little girl was stunned, her eyes widened. "What about grandma and mother?"

"Zhuzhu becomes the daughter of the second uncle, then the mother is not the mother, but the aunt; the mother can no longer be the mother, and must be called Mrs. Huan; the father..."

"Don't, don't." Before Ah Sheng could finish her words, the little girl cried, sobbing and buried her head on her shoulder, "Zhuzhu is obedient, father and mother don't want me, Woohoo."

Cao Cao's face darkened, the feeling of being slapped in the face by his daughter is really sour. "Stinky Bamboo, I feel sorry for you, Bai. Can you bear to be alone with your second uncle?"

The little girl's snot flowed down to her upper lip, and her face was covered with tears. "Second Uncle is not alone! Zhuzhu's Tangtang is eaten by Second Uncle... Brother and younger brother's Tangtang is also given to Second Uncle...Ugh...My father is bad, but my father is my father, not my uncle...Ugh..."

Cao Cao had nothing to say. He probably didn't expect that his little daughter, who was usually silent and like a dough, would be so stubborn. He only felt that in the matter of adopting incense to Ah Sheng, from old to young, everyone was against him.

"A Sheng..."

A Sheng smiled and patted Cao Jie on the back again and again. "Brother, look, the rest of the little ones all have their parents, and what did they do to separate them from their flesh and blood. When it comes to adoption, you are both talking about interests and picking on aptitudes, but in my opinion, this The most important thing is the thoughts of the children. After all, I have been through half my life, and I have a successful career. The emptiness below my knees is just a small problem, but for them, it is a lifetime variable. "

"Prince Zhonghua is righteous." Chen Gong hurriedly said loudly.

Cao Cao frowned, he was really annoyed by this 25th boy. Intuit will not look at the face of the superior.

"I... I didn't say anything wrong." She trembled like a chick in winter, "Second Uncle, I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

"Zhuzhu didn't say anything wrong." Ah Sheng touched her little head, "Zhuzhu is a good boy with affection and righteousness. Even if his father was murderous, he never wanted to abandon him."

"Yeah!" The little girl got the idol's affirmation, her eyes lit up, and she nodded. While she was happy, the wet nurse took her away and sent her back to Mrs. Huan. Mrs. Huan stopped talking while holding her lost and found daughter. She lowered her head, and no one could see her expression clearly, but that kind of attachment could be seen from her body language.

Cao Cao, who was eliminated by his daughter and sister one after another, said embarrassingly: "She is young and ignorant. You are still very good."

A Sheng pushed the jug forward, and Cao Cao took the initiative to fill her with hot rice milk. Satisfied, Ah Sheng hugged the jug in his arms to warm his hands, and then said slowly, "If I want to adopt, I must choose both of my parents who died. There is no need for people to change their surnames adoptively. "

Cao Cao sliced ​​a few pieces of meat and put it on his sister's plate. "You have decided, and I have nothing to say. After many years of fighting in the world, there is always no shortage of orphans. It's not easy to pick a few smart and kind ones? If you go to the townships and counties, you will have them."

Asheng turned his head sideways: "I am recovering now, and there is enough time. Although the adoption depends on fate and God's will. But I will go to Xuzhou first, so that everyone knows."

Xuzhou was conquered by extremely brutal means, and it took less than two months before and after. And the original ruler Tao Qian was not a foolish person, and naturally there were many people who missed him. This made the foundation of Cao's rule in Xuzhou extremely unstable.

But what if Duke Zhonghua would accept his disciples in Xuzhou?

Chen Gong was really convinced this time, and shouted again: "Master Zhonghua is righteous."

Cao Cao: ...I really want this 25th boy to shut up. Not to mention that Boss Cao has memorized Chen Gong's two strokes in the small notebook, but now he is mostly sad. The younger sister suffered a serious injury, and her shoulders became thinner and thinner, and the shape of the bones could be vaguely seen.

"You're a real worry." Occasionally, I want to indulge myself, but you even have to consider the political impact of adopting a child.

"I only said to go to Xuzhou first. If there is no suitable one, I will not force it. It will not cause trouble for myself."

Cao Cao knocked on the table and suddenly said: "Then Aang, after you return to Jiujiang County, look for a marriageable woman in the local or surrounding counties. If you are not from an aristocratic family, neither will you Hold tight."

Xuzhou was newly captured, so is Yangzhou very stable? Of the six counties in Yangzhou, the Cao family only occupied the two northernmost counties, with only Cao Ang and Sun Ce stationed in the younger generation, surrounded by tycoons and extremely xenophobic. Therefore, only Cao Cao's eldest son married a local Yangzhou native, which maximized the benefits of this marriage. And when it was time for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, □□ first, even if Yanzhou and Luoyang's family had any thoughts on Cao Ang's wife, they did not dare to come out and make trouble at this time.

If Cao Cao wants to be utilitarian, can he look farther than anyone else? So, baby Ang, choose your wife in the south.

Thinking that the matter is over, Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang, who can continue to pretend to be melon eaters, threw their chopsticks together.

Cao Ang:? ? ?

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows at his son: "Just take a look. If there is no suitable one, don't force it, don't block yourself."

Your dad is still your dad.
