Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 316 Further warming up with Sister Wen

Chapter 317 Further warming up with Sister Wen

"The Prime Minister said that you don't need to bother about this matter, he has his own decision, and this matter may not be good for the young master." Zhou Buyi said worriedly.

Cao Chong knew clearly that being a man with five senses would be the first step for Cao Pi to become the successor of Lao Cao, and the day was coming soon.

When Lao Cao went west to conquer Ma Chao, Cao Pi replaced Lao Cao and stayed in Yecheng as a general with five senses.

Cao Chong thought about it carefully for a while, and felt that Lao Cao should have made a decision on this matter. In the future, the political center will be transferred to Yecheng, so Yecheng must have someone that Lao Cao can trust to stay behind. Cao Pi is the best candidate in every respect.

"Old Cao should have made a decision. Cao Pi is expected to take care of Yecheng for Lao Cao as a general with five senses. He is the best candidate for this matter. It is only Cao Zhi who can compete with him. I have not participated in it." I don’t have that much energy in strength, so my main energy should still be in Luoyang.”

Zhou Buyi nodded. There was no other way. On the political level, 15-year-old Cao Chong still had no way to compete with 24-year-old Cao Pi.

After Cao Chong finished his conjecture, he said to Zhou Buyi: "Yecheng should be Lao Cao's foothold in the future. You have made arrangements there, but I will never interfere with anything there."

"At least until Luoyang becomes prosperous, I will minimize my presence in Yecheng. Apart from keeping an eye on Luoyang, my next goal is the Guanlong area."

"Young master, do you think the prime minister will march west?" Zhou Bu asked in doubt.

"It should be next year. By then, I should gain some sense of presence in the army. It is not an option for Zhao Yun and others to stay in Luoyang for a long time."

"Since the young master has made up his mind, I should go back to Xudu as soon as possible." Zhou Buyi said.

"Hey! Xudu still can't find someone who can replace you, and you have to run back and forth between the two places!" Cao Chong sighed.

"Xudu and Luoyang are not too far away, and I can still take care of them." Zhou Buyi smiled.

"I guess you don't have to travel between the two places for long. When Lao Cao starts a new business in Yecheng and Luoyang starts to prosper, Xudu can hand it over to the school office. When you leave, help me bring two letters to Cao Yan and Fazheng. .”

After Zhou Buyi left, Cao Chong stretched his back against the chair, and said to himself: I hope the Sun and Liu families can continue to argue for a while, don't draw Lao Cao's attention to the west too early, and give more attention to the little one. Lord, let me save some time!
This time Liu Daer and Sun Quan seem to be very cooperative. The two have been arguing from August to September without any progress. It will soon come to October. According to the news from the school affairs office, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su are still talking about each other in Xiakou. There was no nonsense, and Zhou Yu didn't make any movement.

"It's already late autumn!" Cao Chong, who was sitting on the recliner, watched a fallen leaf fly by.

"Why are you sighing there? With your temperament, it seems that you won't hurt the spring and the autumn." Wen Jiao sipped tea comfortably.

"Master, of course I won't hurt the spring and autumn. My master, I am just young and frivolous..."

"Don't be surprised, be honest."

Seeing Cao Chong jumping up and wanting to get close to her, Wen Jiao wanted to run away. Cao Chong has become more and more daring recently, always wanting to touch her!
"Okay! Okay! Sit down!" Seeing Wen Jiao holding tea, Cao Chong walked slowly towards the table as if I would splash it on you if you dare to come over.

"Go back to the deck chair over there!" Seeing Cao Chong sitting in front of her, staring at her, Wen Jiao's heart beat a little faster.

"No! I can't see you lying there..."

After several months of slowly warming up, Cao Chong felt that the relationship between himself and Wen Jiao should be further improved. It happened that Diao Chan and Zhen Mi were away today, so Cao Chong decided to take a stronger offensive against Wen Jiao!

Wen Jiao blushed, took a sip of tea to calm down, and said to Cao Chong: "Don't be glib, I have something serious to ask you, how long are you going to let me stay in the household department?"

Why are you still struggling with this?Cao Chong felt helpless for a while.

"You really don't want to be the secretary of the household department anymore? Well, I won't force it. Let's see who is suitable to take over?" Cao Chong had a headache. He was really worried about the position of the household department.

"No, you, I... I just don't think it's appropriate to go on like this..."

Wen Jiao is also quite conflicted, she wants to stay in the Yamen, but ever since her relationship with Cao Chong has warmed up again, she always feels that others look at her differently, Xue Qi and the others gossip all day long.

"There is nothing inappropriate, don't think too much, follow your own heart, I will support you no matter what you decide." Cao Chong gently held Wen Jiao's hand.

Wen Jiao struggled a little, then gave up.

"I know you want me to be in charge of the household department, but if this continues, people will gossip..."

"What nonsense, you have been in the Ministry of Finance for more than a year, and everyone has seen your ability and contribution. What's wrong? There are still people talking about it?" Cao Chong was a little angry.

"I'm not talking about the Ministry of Household Affairs, I'm saying that in the future, you must invest so much in Luoyang not just for a Luoyang order, right? You still have to recruit a lot of talents."

Wen Jiao gently opened her hands, stood up and said softly: "I am grateful for your love and affection for me, but if we continue like this, if I still stay in the household department, what will the world think of you? Who else is willing to come for you? effect?"

"Why are you still using this cliché? You said that when you first came to Luoyang..." Cao Chong said sullenly.

"What's the difference between now and last year? Your current situation is not as good as last year. Last year, Kong Rong was still in Luoyang."

Wen Jiao stared at him and then sighed, "You have great ambitions, but you act recklessly. If you continue like this, you..."

Cao Chong came behind her and gently held her in his arms. Wen Jiao struggled for a while, but found it futile, so she had to let it go!
"Sister Wenjiao, thank you for your concern!" Cao Chong whispered in her ear, "If it's for this, don't worry, I'll take care of myself!"

"I'm afraid you'll say that. For more than a year, I haven't seen you have any sense of propriety. I've only seen you doing anything wrong!" Wen Jiao blushed and broke away from his embrace.

"That's a bit shocking. I've done my best for Luoyang, but you say it's all wrong! Besides, others don't know about the changes in Luoyang, but you don't?" Cao Chong said aggrievedly.

"That's what you spent money on! Whoever can spend so much money will have an effect!"

"Knowing that I spent money on it, how do you think people who love money can do anything wrong? Can they not have their own plans?"

"I'm worried that no matter how much money you spend, it will end up in vain! Your current situation is really bad!" Wen Jiao said seriously.

"Why do you have so little confidence in the young master? Don't worry! I know, isn't it just that some nobles don't like me? And is it about me and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi? What is the trouble? Is it me? unknown?"
