Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 13 An Equal Opportunity
Chapter 13 An Equal Opportunity
Speaking of Zhen Ji and Cao Pi, they are really a wonderful couple.

At the beginning, Cao Pi took a fancy to Zhen Ji's beauty and married Zhen Ji as his wife, but after he got tired of aesthetics, he found another new love.

Poor Zhen Ji can only keep her vacant room alone at her young age.

Moreover, it was rumored that Cao Pi had thought of divorcing his wife for a long time, but he never seized the opportunity. Since then, there has been a gap between the two, and they have long been a nominal couple who are at odds with each other.

In ancient times, it was a dishonorable thing for a woman to be divorced, and she would be laughed at when walking on the street.

For her own future, Zhen Ji had to find another way.

This may be the reason why she has a good relationship with Cao Chong.

Cao Chong is Cao Cao's favorite son, and he is very likely to inherit Cao Cao's great cause. When Cao Chong cleans up his political enemies, at least Zhen Ji will not be counted.

What's more, Zhen Ji really likes this little uncle from the bottom of her heart.

"Brother, you have just recovered from a serious illness, remember not to run around anymore, and you must rest more." Zhen Ji said with concern.

Cao Chong nodded, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, brother will remember what sister-in-law said."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Cao Pi took Zhen Ji to leave. Just like when he came, Cao Pi walked in front with his hands behind his back, and Zhen Ji followed behind like a maid.

"My lady, I'll show you something." As soon as Cao Pi left, Cao Chong took out the boa robe.

"This is the python robe that my father rewarded me. With it, we can walk sideways in Xu Xu."

Diao Chan covered her mouth, a little surprised. For a weaker woman like her, the python robe was something she never dared to think about, but the python robe was placed in front of her.

"Is this the legendary python robe?" Diao Chan couldn't bear it, and reached out to touch it.

Cao Chong smiled and said, "It's guaranteed to be a fake."

"The prime minister actually gave it to you, which is enough to show that the prime minister loves you, husband, you have to work hard." Diao Chan encouraged Cao Chong.

In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, even the maids and servants knew about the subtle relationship between the four young masters.

Originally Cao Pi had the most advantage, followed by Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, but they couldn't stand Cao Cao's love for Cao Chong.

Cao Chong is very likely to inherit the aspect, but Cao Chong has a fatal weakness, that is, he was born of a concubine.

Concubines are not as good as wives, and the children they give birth to cannot be compared with legitimate sons, not to mention the Three Kingdoms period, when family backgrounds were very particular.

Cao Chong knew this very well. For this reason, he not only wanted to improve his own status, but also that of Mrs. Huan.

In this regard, Cao Chong already had an idea.

"Tonight, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely hold a big family banquet to welcome father. I plan to cook a table for him. Special food. You go to accompany mother first, and we will see you at the family banquet later."

Cao Chong put down his python robe, said to Diao Chan, and went to the kitchen.

The delicacy he wants to cook is unheard of in this era of the Three Kingdoms, and that is the famous delicacy of later generations-hot pot.

It happened that the system rewarded a pack of hot pot ingredients, if you don't use it now, when will it be.

Cao Chong walked into the kitchen and started to get busy, making the cooks very surprised. The dignified prime minister actually cooks himself, which is simply shocking.

You know, there was a popular saying at that time, a gentleman is far from a cook.

"What are you looking at? It's against the law for a son to cook for his father!" Cao Chong shouted.

Only then did the guys understand the situation.

"It turns out that the young master wants to cook for the prime minister himself, what a filial son."

"The prime minister is really blessed to have a filial son like the young master."

"Young master is a man, I admire him!"

"..."

The kitchen was full of voices praising Cao Chong.

This matter soon spread to Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao laughed on the spot. He not only praised Cao Chong, but also looked forward to what delicious food Cao Chong would cook.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the ingredients for hot pot were limited, because cows could not be killed, which was illegal, so delicacies such as tripe, tender beef, and fat beef were missing.

But it doesn't matter, beef is not as good as other meats, pork belly, chicken intestines, duck intestines, mutton rolls, and county liver are still available, and they are served with fat sausage, blood and various vegetarian dishes.

A hot pot meal is ready.

We also have dipping sauce.

Salt, garlic, green onion and coriander happened to be available in the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Chong directly took the on-site condiments and made them into hot pot dipping sauces, and then poured them into soup oil.

Done, call it a day!
Everything was ready, just in time for the meal, the reunion cafeteria of the Prime Minister's Mansion began to become lively.

What seven aunts and eight aunts, his younger sister and younger brother, all arrived at the reunion cafeteria, took their seats according to their seniority, and then all focused their attention on the main table. After all, the aroma of the hot pot was so attractive.

At the main table, Cao Pi's mother and son were condescending, contemptuous of everyone's envious eyes, as if to say, you are not qualified to eat this hot pot.

On the other hand, Mrs. Huan, Cao Chong's mother, could not sit at the main table because she was a concubine, so she could only sit low-key on the side table.

"Chong'er, is this the hot pot you mentioned?" Cao Cao sat on the main seat, his Adam's apple twitched, already attracted by the deliciousness of the hot pot.

In the main seat, apart from the four Cao Chong brothers and their main wives, they were Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian. According to the rules at the time, the younger wives were not allowed to eat at the same table as the main wives.

Cao Chong bowed and said: "That's right, just put the ingredients in it, cook it and put it in the dipping sauce, and then you can eat it. It's not only delicious, but also soothing to the body. It's just suitable for this season."

Curious, Cao Cao picked up a piece of pork belly, tasted it according to Cao Chong's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he praised repeatedly, "Well, it's really good, it's really delicious, you let my father see it."

"Then I'll try it too." Mrs. Bian picked up the chopsticks and wanted to taste it too.

"Slow!" Cao Chong shouted suddenly.

Cao Cao was puzzled, Mrs. Bian is the official wife, according to the rules, Cao Chong would call Mrs. Bian a aunt, "Chonger, what's the matter?"

"Father, I want my mother to sit at this table and enjoy this delicious meal with us." Cao Chong said confidently.

wow...

In an instant, the party cafeteria was in an uproar.

Mrs. Huan is just Cao Cao's concubine. How can she have the right to sit and eat with Mrs. Bian? This is simply disrespect to Mrs. Bian.

"Brother Chong, you are going too far!" Cao Pi naturally wanted to defend his mother.

"Well, you Cao Chong, you have messed up your seniority and disrespected my mother!" Cao Zhi was also very angry.

Needless to say, Cao Zhang pointed at Cao Chong's nose and scolded, "Cao Chong! What do you mean! Could it be that you don't take my mother seriously! Don't forget that you are not qualified to have dinner with us, and you can only be with us because of your father's special kindness." sit together!"

Facing the accusations from the three elder brothers and the whispers from the crowd, Cao Chong did not panic, but became more imposing, "I just want my mother to sit at this table to eat!"

Mrs. Huan at the bottom was quite surprised, and looked at her son worriedly, "Chong'er, what nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Bian!"

"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense, the boy just wants to give you an equal opportunity." Cao Chong said decisively.
