Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 309 Women's Worries

Chapter 310 Women's Worries

"Magistrate Liu is shrewd! He is the only one who owns this kind of green tea. If you give me so much, I will definitely treat guests with it. If anyone likes this kind of tea, why don't you ask him for it? This will help him to make a name for himself." Cao Chong said with a smile.

Zhen Mi complained, "I know this official has no good intentions!"

"You can't say that. There's nothing wrong with us taking things for nothing. If someone really likes it, it's good for us. It's a matter of mutual benefit."

What Cao Chong didn't say was: tea is a bulk commodity, and I don't have the extra energy to take care of it now, but I will definitely pay attention to it in the future.

Lao Cao arrived in Luoyang in the evening of the next day. Cao Chong led Luoyang officials to greet him outside the city.

After arriving at the posthouse, Lao Cao's entourage was arranged by Pang Tong and others, and Cao Chong waited on Lao Cao alone.

"What have you been doing in Jiangnan?" Lao Cao asked Cao Chong with wide eyes.

"Father, didn't you say last time that the child will destroy the marriage between the two families?"

"So you sent someone to assassinate Sun Quan's sister?" Lao Cao asked.

Lao Cao disapproved of Cao Chong's actions. Assassination would be shameless and shameless.

"Sun Shangxiang is the only candidate for their marriage, and he didn't actually assassinate him. Sun Shangxiang is still alive..." Cao Chong told about Xia Houba's stay in Jiangnan.

"Forcing my sister to marry Liu Bei is not an honorable thing. Sun Shangxiang is dissatisfied with this marriage. He escaped from Jingkou once before. The school office has already publicized this matter in Jiangnan."

"And this time it was Sun Shangxiang who ran away with others in full view...Father, don't worry, Sun Quan will handle this matter in a low-key manner and will not accuse us of any crimes!"

After hearing Cao Chong's narration, Lao Cao glared at him, and said displeasedly, "Don't do this kind of thing again!"

"Yes! My boy just felt that the relationship between Sun and Liu was too important this time, so he took the risk and will not do such a thing again in the future."

"The result of the adventure is not good, right? Without Sun Shangxiang's marriage, the Sun-Liu coalition will continue. To deal with such a major event, those heretical methods will not work, and it will tarnish your reputation. Remember this lesson." The old man Cao continued to teach Cao Chongdao.

"Yes! What my father taught me is true!" Cao Chong promised with incomparable sincerity.

Isn't this to complete the system task? Who knows how to brag about how awesome his computing power is all day long, why release such a task?
Ordinarily the system should know that doing so would have little effect on destroying the relationship between the two, Cao Chong murmured in his heart.

After that, Lao Cao didn't say much about it, Cao Chong hurriedly invited Lao Cao to Houya, Mid-Autumn Festival, at least he would have a reunion dinner with Lao Cao, right?

Lao Cao's destination this time is Yecheng, but he is just passing through Luoyang and won't stay for long.

The next day, Lao Cao asked Cao Chong to take him to Luoyang New City, where he visited the completed North [-]st District and North [-]rd District, and went to the construction site in the inner city, and praised the construction speed and specifications of Luoyang New City.

After that, Cao Chong didn't let him accompany him, and he took people around Luoyang's grounds, and he was very satisfied with the scene of abundant harvest and busy farming everywhere in Luoyang.

"It seems that you have been in Luoyang for more than a year, and you have managed Luoyang well." Lao Cao, who wandered around for a day, seemed very happy.

The situation in Luoyang is indeed much better than a year ago. As long as there is no oppression by the gentry and exploitation by corrupt officials, there is actually no need to manage it, and the common people will recuperate by themselves.

Lao Cao, who finished his inspection of Cao Chong, left Luoyang happily and continued to go north. Cao Chong took Luoyang officials to see him off.

"Father, you bring these mooncakes to the eldest brother, it's my younger brother's heart." The way of filial piety is still necessary.

"These pastries are very delicious, you have a heart!" Lao Cao laughed loudly.

Cao Chong discovered that perhaps because of the lack of supplies, people in this period loved sweets such as moon cakes very much.

Diao Chan, Zhen Mi and the others made a lot of moon cakes, which were almost consumed by the entourage of the prime minister's mansion.

While Cao Chong took Luoyang officials to see off Lao Cao, Wen Jiao and several female officials gathered here in the most luxurious inn in Luoyang.

"In the past two days, others have been busy, but we are at leisure!" Xue Qi said a bit unhappy after taking a sip of the snack.

"You can also put on an official robe and go see off the prime minister, and no one will stop you!" Deng Hui gave her a glare.

Women are officials, and there are only a few of them in the whole big man. They still don't have the courage to show their faces in front of Lao Cao.

"I'm not allowed to complain. I always feel that this is not a long-term solution for us. I'm afraid they will kick us out of the yamen sooner or later." Xue Qi was a little depressed.

"That's right, our official positions are only established by Luoyang, and we are not considered court officials at all..."

After Deng Hui finished speaking, she looked at Wen Jiao with Xue Qi and Huang Ying.

We all know that Wenjiao has a different identity and is loved by the young master, so I want to hear what she has to say.

Wen Jiao was a little embarrassed by their staring: "You invited me here today to talk about this?"

"You came to Luoyang from Xudu with the young master, and you were the first to enter the Yamen. Since you are all women, let us know..."

"Yeah, you feel sorry for us leaving our hometown to find food here, tell us more or less, you are getting close to the young master, what is his plan."

Wen Jiao glared at the unrestrained Deng Hui: "Cao Chong is encouraging women to become officials. As long as he is in Luoyang, no one in the Yamen will dare to drive you away. And I guess there will be other women joining in the future. Cao Chong only cares about talent And support for what he's doing, nothing else."

As she said that, Wenjiao took another look at Huang Ying: "You should know that the original minister of the Ministry of Rites was the famous scholar Kong Rong, but when Kong Rong and all the officials of the Ministry of Rites resigned, Cao Chong didn't say a word to persuade him to stay. He just supported him with this attitude. What he does is, as long as he is capable and qualified for any position, he will give it to anyone who opposes him, and he never cares about his status or fame."

"Because of this, we are both happy and worried! Who knows how long this will last?" Huang Ying sighed.

"You all know that you have left your hometown to make a living, so what's the use of worrying so much? Anyway, Luoyang gives you a lot of treatment, just work hard." Wen Jiao frowned.

"Master Shangshu, you said it lightly. You want to do it well. Aren't you afraid that it won't last long? We are not like you. At that time, the Yamen will really not be able to continue. You will still have no worries about food and clothing in the little prince's back house. We will have to do it again. Escape!" Xue Qi said worriedly.

Wen Jiao also sighed: "The errands in the yamen are fine for the time being. After all, he is the young son of the prime minister's mansion, and no one dares to do anything to him for the time being."
