Cao Jie sat in the yard. Suddenly, he was a little frustrated and became tired. He no longer had the leisure of reading. She always convinced herself that she wanted to calm down and not think about getting married.
But I can't help thinking about it.
She can't control herself. After all, getting married is a lifelong matter. How can she put it aside easily? When Cao Jie's thoughts were flying, another attendant came in and bowed himself and said, "girl, Sikong, please go to the study."
Cao Jie said, "I know."
She returned to her room, changed her formal clothes and went to Cao Cao's study.
It has been four or five days since Cao Cao returned to Xu.
These days, Cao Cao has been busy dealing with the affairs of the central government. Because Cao Cao was defeated by Zhang Xiu, he was defeated at the expense of his troops, and the situation in the court was turbulent. Officials sharpened their heads and wanted to step on Cao Cao to climb up.
They all intended to suppress Cao Cao.
But these people have great ambitions and few talents, and they have no ability.
After Cao Cao returned to Xudu, with the help of Xunzhou and Xunyou, he made a bold move. In a short time, he calmed down the chaos in the court, restored stability, and did not return to the previous chaos.
Cheng Yu has returned to Xudu and returned to Cao Cao, saying the agreed terms.
Cao Cao's heart ached when he learned that Zhang Xiu wanted 3000 war horses. It was 3000 war horses, not a small number.
But he had no choice.
After all, Cao Chun and other three should be replaced.
Cao Cao can only hold his nose, he arranged for Cheng Yu to be responsible for the preparation. Cao Cao, who had finished his work, thought of Cao Jie in his spare time, and then arranged for someone to invite Cao Jie.
After all, Cao Jie is his daughter. Before he leaves, Cao Cao has something to say to Cao Jie.
Cao Jie came outside the study and banged on the door.
"Come in!"
Cao Cao's hoarse voice came from the room. Recently, Cao Cao was depressed, his body was a little uncomfortable, his voice was a little hoarse, and his cheeks were full of vicissitudes.
Creak!
Cao Jie opened the door and entered it.
She wore a long white dress, dignified and virtuous, very magnanimous. See Cao Cao, Cao Jie bowed to Cao Cao salute.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "sit down!"
"Thank you, father!"
Cao Jie answered with a smile, lifted his robe and sat down.
Cao Cao's face was very serious, but when he saw his daughter, he showed a smile and said, "do you know the news that you will marry Zhang Xiu for your father?"
Cao Jie said, "I already know."
Cao Cao asked, "what do you think?"
Cao Jie said: "marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words. The daughter obeys the arrangement of her father. "
Cao Cao was satisfied with Cao Jie's answer.
He also has three unmarried daughters, Cao Xian, Cao Jie and Cao Hua. But Cao Xian is very indulgent and not very smart. He is not liked by Cao Cao. Cao Hua is too young.
Only Cao Jie, who is knowledgeable, gentle, virtuous and intelligent, is Cao Cao's favorite daughter.
He once thought about marrying Cao Xian to Zhang Xiu, but as soon as he thought about it, he denied it to Cao Cao. If Cao Xian goes to Zhang Xiu's side, I'm afraid he will be rejected by Zhang Xiu and think that he has nothing to do with Cao Cao's teaching daughter.
Only Cao Jie is different.
Cao Jie has a general knowledge and is clever. There are two advantages in marrying Cao Jie to Zhang Xiu.
On the one hand, it is to show his family education of Cao Cao and let Zhang Xiu know his daughter's kindness; on the other hand, after Cao Jie got married, even if he married his husband again, Cao's family really encountered a crisis of life and death, and Cao Jie always cared about some old feelings.
This is Cao Cao's plan.
For the time being, it doesn't work.
Cao Cao put away his inner thoughts and continued: "I'm looking for you for my father to talk about marrying Zhang Xiu."
Cao Jie said, "please show me your father."
Cao Cao's eyes gradually became sharp. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "if you marry Zhang Xiu, you are a member of Zhang Jia. Since then, it has not been the Cao family. "
"Married from husband, that's it."
"It's true that to marry you to Zhang Xiu as a father is to marry Zhang Xiu to consolidate the relationship between the two sides."
"Similarly, as a father, I hope you have a good life."
"Although Zhang Xiu is young, she has outstanding ability and is extraordinary. If you marry him, even if you are a concubine, you will not be buried. After you come to Zhang Xiu's side, I don't expect you to do anything for my father. You should give priority to Zhang Jia in everything, and spread the branches and leaves for Zhang Jia. "
"Cao's daughter should have the heart and spirit of Cao's daughter."
Cao Cao said in a voice: "you are my father's favorite daughter. I hope you will have a good life in the future. You have been at the father's knees for more than ten years, but the father has never taught you anything. The only thing you can do is to make sure that you are well fed and well clothed. Since then, when you come to Zhang Xiu, you have to rely on yourself, be gentle and virtuous, and manage your family business. "
Cao Jie was a little sour.
As the daughter of Cao Cao, she knew how strong Cao Cao was. As Cao Cao said, after Cao Cao let her marry, he took Zhang Jia as his family.This is Cao Cao's insistence.
Cao Jie said: "I will obey my father's instruction."
After Cao Cao gave some orders, he said again: "soon, Cheng Yu will take a team to escort you to the border. You are going to Nanyang. I don't know how long it will take before you have time to come back. Go see your mother and spend more time with her. "
"Here it is
Cao Jie got up and left.
Although Cao Cao regarded her as a marriage partner, Cao Jie didn't have much resentment.
This is the result of Cao's daughter.
On the contrary, it was Cao Cao's words that moved Cao Jie. She took a deep breath, got out of the study and went straight to her mother's backyard. I don't know when I will come back to Nanyang.
On Cao Jie's way to his mother's yard, I met Cao ang on the way.
Among all the children of the Cao family, Cao ang is a warm elder brother, both male and female. He cared for his brothers and sisters, sympathized with his relatives, and was very kind to every brother and sister.
Everyone likes Cao ang, too.
Cao Jie began to smile on his face and saluted: "I've seen you, brother."
Cao ang looked at Cao Jie in front of him and opened his mouth. Then he wanted to talk and stop. He reached out to touch Cao Jie's head and sighed: "my little sister has grown up and grown up. When you marry Zhang Xiu, it's the elder brother who hurt you. "
Cao Jie said, "what do you mean, brother?"
Cao ang said: "my father and Zhang Xiu were at war. Cao Anmin and I were pioneers, but at the beginning, I was defeated, which led to Cao Anmin's capture and made a very bad start. My father's subsequent defeat is my responsibility. But for me, my father might not have been defeated. If it wasn't for me, you don't have to marry far away. "
Cao ang is very remorseful now.
He thought that his defeat led Cao Cao to give Zhang Xiu 3000 horses. Cao Zhi and Cao Cao married his beloved little sister to Zhang Xiu. Cao Ang's heart was very subdued and remorseful.
When Cao Jie heard this, he had nothing to blame Cao ang for. Even if Cao Cao is invincible, when she is older, she will be married to someone she doesn't know.
In fact, there is no difference in getting married.
Cao Jie comforted: "brother, victory and defeat are common affairs of soldiers. You don't have to care. Moreover, when I get to the age of marriage, it's the same for me to marry anyone. To marry Zhang Xiu is to marry someone with ability. "
It's the same to marry anyone. Cao ang is even more guilty.
Cao Jie added: "brother, father is a strong man. You must not show such a woman's attitude in front of your father. I'm just getting married, not going to die. Why do you blame yourself so much, elder brother? "
In turn, she comforted Cao ang.
When she was a child, Cao ang loved her very much and treated her very well. She kept all this in mind.
Hearing Cao Jie's words, Cao ang shook his head and said with a smile, "originally I came to comfort my little sister. Unexpectedly, I let her comfort me and make her laugh."
Cao Jie said: "brother, if you really love me, what kind of person is Zhang Xiu? How he behaves. "
She has never met Zhang Xiu, but Cao ang has.
It's not easy to ask Cao Cao about this, but it's OK to ask Cao ang.
Cao ang pondered for a moment, and said: "regardless of their respective positions, Zhang Xiu is a great talent. In a short period of time in Nanyang County, he has laid a solid foundation. "
"It's not simple."
"In particular, Zhang Xiu's use of military force is haunted by miracles. Even the father suffered a great loss. What's more, Zhang Xiu's mouth is extremely tricky. "
Cao ang said: "although I hate Zhang Xiu, I hate her to the bone. But there is no denying that Zhang Xiu is really talented. "
"I see!"
Cao Jie felt a little relieved.
Although he expected Zhang Xiu, five big three rough, is a burly man. But after listening to Cao Ang's words, he also knows that even if Zhang Xiu is big and strong, she is also a man of coarse and fine.
Cao ang said, "if you can relax, I will be relieved."
Cao Jie said: "thank you, brother!"
Without saying goodbye to Cao, she left and went to her mother's yard.
