Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

Rushing into the courtyard, I saw Cao Pi kneeling on the ground, and the stick fell on his back with a muffled sound.Every time it was hit, the back trembled as hard as possible, but it was still straight, unwilling to let down for a long time.

Ruan Qing was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly knelt down in front of Cao Pi, and begged for mercy to Cao Cao who was standing on the steps, "Master, please be merciful."

"Mu'er?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and quickly went down the steps to help his arm, and said kindly, "Why are you here, get up quickly."

"Master." Ruan Qing grabbed Cao Cao's palm and begged more and more, "My lord, the eldest son is your eldest son, how could he have the intention of harming you? There must be something hidden about this matter. Check it out."

Cao Cao's eyes sharpened instantly. He slowly withdrew his palms, straightened up, and cast a cold glance at the servant beside him, "Who alarmed Master Ruan?"

Everyone on the side bowed their heads and remained silent.

"You know this yourself, don't do other people's business." Ruan Qing said, "My lord, please forgive the eldest son, this matter is definitely not what the eldest son did."

Cao Pi gritted his teeth secretly, endured the bursts of blood in his throat, looked at Ruan Qing's thin back, which seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, and heard the other party's unreasonable trust in him, no matter how many grievances he suffered The dry eye sockets suddenly became moist.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to intervene." Cao Cao lowered his eyes and said coldly. There was no joy or anger on his face, but it made people feel that he was not in a very happy mood at the moment.

Ruan Qing's heart gradually sank into an abyss as the muffled sounds fell in his ears. He looked at Cao Cao in disbelief.

"My lord?" He called out tentatively. Seeing that Cao Cao's expression did not soften, his eyes quickly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to punish the eldest son, you might as well show evidence. Just rely on Ruan Yu's one-sided words." , How can you convict the Eldest Young Master. Anken convinces everyone."

"Mu'er!" Cao Cao suddenly called out loudly, and looked at him deeply again, "Gu repeat, this is none of your business, don't interfere."

Holding back tears, Ruan Qing yelled sharply, "Don't let Qing interfere, if this goes on, does the lord want to beat the eldest son to death indiscriminately?"

Ruan Qing, who had been suppressed by Yuan Qing and Li Chun all the time, suddenly burst out when she saw Cao Cao's appearance again.

He got up quickly, threw himself behind Cao Pi, wrapped his arms around the opponent's shoulders, and protected him tightly.

The wooden stick that didn't have time to stop hit him. In addition to the pain spreading rapidly on the skin and flesh, the internal organs were also deeply shocked.

"Sir!" Cao Pi clasped Ruan Qing's palm and exclaimed weakly.

"Hmm." Ruan Qing groaned in pain.With a pale face and frowned eyebrows, he looked at Cao Cao who was stunned by his surprise, with a sad expression, "If my lord wants to beat you again, you might as well beat Qing to death first."

As he spoke, the corners of his lips trembled slightly, and he whimpered sadly, "The lord has many sons. But Cao Zixiu is the only one who remembers Cao Zixiu these years. After many years, the eldest son has always left Qing with this thought. , is the lord also going to take it away now?"

He asked, "Master, do you still remember the appearance of the eldest son? When others called Mr. Pi the eldest son, did you ever remember that you have a son named Cao Ang? You have so many sons, except Pi Besides the young master, who else went outside the city to sweep the tomb for Zixiu?"

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he remained silent, making people afraid to guess what he was thinking.

The executioners stopped long ago, and everyone stood stiffly, for fear that they might lose their lives if they were not careful.

Ruan Qing yelled heartbreakingly. The backyard was extremely silent for a while, only the slight sound of wind blew past her ears.

Cao Pi was injured in the back, and he was holding on just now, but now he was hugged by Ruan Qing, and his already numb back was leaning on his thin chest, he felt very relieved.The brain that has been forced to wake up gradually became chaotic, and the things in front of me became blurred.Falling forward uncontrollably.

Ruan Qing sensed that something was wrong with Cao Pi, so she hugged him tightly, and she fell into his arms.

Only then did he see that the other party's face was bloodless, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Cao Pi. Cao Pi!" Ruan Qing patted Cao Pi's face lightly in horror. Seeing that there was no response from the other party, she raised her head suddenly and shouted in grief and indignation, "Is the lord satisfied now? If Cao Ang knew that his beloved brother was killed I don't know how much I feel sorry for being wronged like this."

"Why are you still standing there!" Cao Cao came back to his senses, and rushed down to the human path angrily, "Why don't you call for a doctor?"

The servant just woke up like a dream, and left in a hurry. Cao Cao frowned slightly, and impatiently said to Cao Pi's servant, "Hurry up and help your son into the house."

Cao Pi in his arms was helped into the house. Ruan Qing tried to get up, but her legs and feet were weak, so she simply knelt and sat.

Cao Cao didn't go in to check Cao Pi's situation, but just stood and looked down at Ruan Qing.The servants at the side saw that the momentum was not right, so they all surrounded Cao Pi and entered the house to serve him. At this moment, he was the only two in the yard.

Many days later, the two finally met, but it was not like this.Kneeling and standing, the two of them were so relatively speechless.

"Among these lonely sons, do you value Cao Pi the most?" Cao Cao said calmly.

"He called Qing sir, and Qing taught him a set of sword skills. Then Qing will be his master all his life." At this moment, Ruan Qing no longer had the excitement just now. answer slowly.

Cao Cao sighed softly, stepped forward, held Ruan Qing's arm, and looked into Ruan Qing's raised doubtful eyes, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Gu has never forgotten Ang'er. Get up."

The tears that Ruan Qing had been holding back in her eyes suddenly fell unexpectedly.He looked straight at Cao Cao, stood up with the support of the other party, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask the question that had tortured him for a long time.

'Do you still like me? '

But he found that this sentence was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't ask any more, so he could only shut his mouth powerlessly.

So what if you ask.

If he still likes it, when he asks, it seems that he is too sensitive and short-sighted. If he really likes it, why does he need words to describe it, and when Cao Cao needs to rely too much on his subordinates who put their eyes on personal affairs.

If you don't like it, you won't like it again if you ask. Instead, you will be embarrassed and embarrass yourself.

Don't ask, there is still some hope.At least he can continue to think that Cao Cao still has the same feelings for him as before.In this way, he can still have some courage to mediate in this whirlpool.

"Today is Qing's rudeness, if you offend me, please my lord..."

His lips twitched, and the "forgiveness" that he wanted to say was finally replaced with "punishment." '

"Today, you are being rude, if you offend me, please punish me, my lord."

In a trance, he remembered that Cao Cao touched the top of his head and said comfortingly a long time ago, "Moore has grown up. '

After all, he has grown up and understands that he can no longer be easily forgiven by simply relying on the favor he once had, and he no longer has excessive self-confidence, believing that Cao Cao will definitely favor him.

With these words uttered, he closed his eyes as if admitting defeat.The breath and temperature belonging to Cao Cao around him made him feel that he was so close to the other party, but he felt in his heart that the distance between himself and the other party seemed to be farther than the distance from Xuchang to Wu County.

Before the doctor arrived, Cao Pi woke up slowly, saying that he was fine, and he didn't need to trouble his father, and he forced himself to leave.

Seeing that he was still able to get up and walk around, Cao Cao thought that the other party was fine, so he let him go.

In the following days Ruan Qing never saw Cao Pi again.

After two or three days like this, he went to visit Cao Pi's mansion.One is to thank you for saving each other at the banquet that day, and the other is to visit Cao Pi's injuries.

"My lord closed the door to thank the guests, sir, please come back another day." The guard at the door replied respectfully.

Ruan Qing didn't force it, but just handed over the tonics she brought, and said, "Then please give these things to the eldest son, and tell you that Ruan Qing, the head of the prime minister's mansion, has come to visit."

The servant looked at the things in his hands, and called to Ruan Qing who was about to leave, "Sir, is Master Ruan?"

Ruan Qing turned sideways slightly, "Exactly."

The boy's face became more respectful, "It's a villain with poor eyesight, please come in quickly, sir."

Ruan Qing had doubts in her heart, smiled and replied slightly, "Okay."

The servant led Ruan Qing all the way to the front hall, and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, the villain will call for someone."

Not long after, I saw a person rushing over and bowed to Ruan Qing, "I have met you, sir. The villain is the steward of General Zhonglang's mansion. I didn't know you were coming, and the reception was not good. Please forgive me, sir."

Ruan Qing turned slightly to avoid the man's salute, saying that she dared not, and said, "I'm here to visit the eldest son, I don't know where the eldest son is now."

"This..." There was a moment of hesitation on the manager's face, as if there was some difficulty, but he quickly said, "Sir, follow the villain."

Anyway, he is the eldest son of Cao Cao. Although the mansion is not shabby, it is not luxurious either. The mansion is exquisitely and elegantly furnished, but it is far inferior to the Ruan Mansion where he lives.

Passing through a courtyard door, Ruan Qing reckoned that she should have entered the backyard, stopped in front of a door, and the steward turned sideways to signal Ruan Qing to go in.

Ruan Qing stepped in first, and the steward immediately followed behind, leading him around a screen at the side of the room, and saw a person lying on the bed.

There was a person kneeling in front of the bed, drowsy, when he heard someone coming, he quickly opened his eyes and saw that it was the steward of the mansion, his expression suddenly became nervous, for fear that he would be reprimanded.

Ruan Qing stepped forward and saw Cao Pi with his eyes closed tightly, his face was haggard, his cheeks were blushing abnormally, and he was yelling "Brother" over and over again in a low voice.

He couldn't help being horrified, and leaned over and put his palm on the other's forehead, it was scorching hot, like a stove in winter.The exhaled breath sprinkled on his wrist, wrapped in strong heat, like magma.

"What's going on here!" He frowned, and asked the steward with a worried expression, "Isn't the young master all right? How did it become like this? How many days has it been burned like this? Does the prime minister know?"

The steward signaled the attendants at the side to retreat, so he bit the bullet and said in a low voice, "The fire started the night the young master came back from the prime minister's mansion. The young master told me not to say anything, let alone the prime minister and his wife."

"What nonsense?" Ruan Qing shook her sleeves angrily, her eyes widened with anger, and her brows were sharp. "You don't tell me if he won't let you? How can you take the responsibility if something happens like this now?"

After that, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "Did you call for a doctor?"

"Please."

"What did the doctor say?"

The steward said, "The doctor said that the young master had caught the cold by accident and didn't care about it. As a result, he suffered from the prime minister's mansion and the illness was exacerbated. It's nothing serious. Just rest for a few days and he'll be fine."

"It's all burning and talking nonsense, is there anything serious?" Ruan Qing said, "Go and ask the prime minister to come over. My son is suffering here, how can he, a father, ignore it. If the son blames me in the future, I will bear it for you. "

After hearing Ruan Qing's words, the steward suddenly panicked. He knelt down on the ground and said hastily, "You can't do it, absolutely you can't do it. You must never let the prime minister know."

"Everyone is already like this." Ruan Qing's heart was filled with anger. He pointed at Cao Pi, looked at the steward angrily, and said, "You are the steward of his house anyway. Seeing that he is so sick, you stop the prime minister from letting him go." I know, what kind of heart is there! You can think about it, if you don't invite the prime minister today, I can come before the prime minister in the future."

"Sir." The steward closed his eyes in pain, kowtowed and said, "Even if the prime minister knows, he may not come here. I don't know, sir, these years, the prime minister has attached great importance to the third son, and often neglected our son. The madam also put her mind on it." In terms of the few young sons, they don't care much about our son.

The villain knows that my husband loves our eldest son, so he will intercede for the son after being beaten.The son often tells us that we should treat my husband the same as myself.Now that the villain tells Mr., Mr. must not say it, or our young master will be ruined in the future. "

After finishing speaking, he straightened up, looked at Ruan Qing, and said under Ruan Qing's bewildered gaze,

"When Wancheng was defeated, the young master suffered a heart and lung injury when he was young. It took a long time to find out. Although he was cured in the end, the root cause of the disease was unavoidably left behind and became an old disease. The young master is usually in good health, and the occasional cold is nothing serious. I don't want to be here. The prime minister's mansion has been subjected to these sticks, and this has become what it is today."

Ruan Qing's pupils shrank slightly, he was stunned for a while, and then said, "Is there a way to recover?"

The steward shook his head, "It's been a long time, and it has become the root of the disease, and it is difficult to recover."

In Wancheng, Cao Pi was only ten years old.This disease has been with me for more than ten years.

He remembered for a moment that Cao Pi didn't seem to live long in the history books.

For the battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang died early, and Cao Pi died short-lived.

If Cao Cao knew that his eldest son had an old illness, even though he would feel guilty, how could he pass the position to this son.Not to mention, now Cao Cao loves Cao Zhi day by day.

Knowing the seriousness of this, Ruan Qing's back was instantly covered with cold sweat, his hands and feet were a little weak, he staggered back a step, knocked his heels on the bed, and fell to the edge of the bed.

His breathing trembled slightly, and after a while, a gust of wind blew in from the window, which shocked him who was covered in cold sweat, and only then did he regain his senses.

He swallowed, and asked in a deep voice, "How many people still know about this?"

"Only the villain and the eldest son himself, sir is the third person."

"Okay." Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured to herself, "Okay, okay."

He turned his eyes to look at the steward again, adjusted his emotions, and said seriously, "Don't let others know about this matter, and let it rot in your stomach forever. If I hear the wind about this matter in the future , You may not know my methods, but you should have heard that I grew up with the prime minister. I have seen many torture methods in prison."

The steward hurriedly said, "Don't worry sir, the young master is kind to the villain, and the villain swears that he will never betray the young master until his death."

"En." Ruan Qing was unmoved by such a show of loyalty, he responded lightly, lowered his eyes to cover all emotions, stared at Cao Pi, and gently stroked the other's temples.

Cao Pi's facial features were sealed up by the high temperature roasting.He felt as if he was stuck in a desert without water.The coarse and fine grains of sand pressed him tightly, making him unable to move.He wanted to call for help but couldn't. He felt like he was drowning.

At this moment, he faintly smelled a faint sandalwood aroma.It was like the aura that Ruan Qing always had in his memory.He felt as if the weight on his body had lightened a little.A bit of coolness blew past the hot surroundings.

"Brother..." Cao Pi called again vaguely.

Ruan Qing's eyes were sore for a moment, he lowered his eyes and sighed silently.

Cao Pi has many brothers, so Cao Ang will always be called Big Brother.

As for the title of elder brother, it was Cao Ang who asked Cao Pi to call him that.

"Don't be afraid."

He opened his eyes, and the pupils of his eyes were like gurgling autumn streams, which were calm and sad.

"Don't be afraid." He said softly, "No one can take away what Zixiu left you."

Ruan Qing went to see Cao Pi, and Cao Pi woke up the next day. Hearing that Ruan Qing had visited him, he knew that the sandalwood he smelled when he was asleep was not a hallucination.

Uneasy, he first visited Ruan Yu who was imprisoned, and then dragged his sick body to visit Ruan Qing's mansion.

At that time, Ruan Qing Muxiu was pressing her legs in her room.

Lai Ying'er has a task to do, so she doesn't teach Ruan Qing hand in hand.Just say the request, demonstrate it a few more times, and let Ruan Qing go back to practice by herself.

In order to learn more in the short time of seeing Lai Yinger, Ruan Qing could only work harder secretly.

He practices martial arts, his body bones are much softer than ordinary men's, but after all, he can't reach the physique of a woman.In order to learn the femininity of Lai Yinger's dance, I can only constantly sharpen my body, enduring the pain on my body, often sweating and tearing up, every inch of bone seems to be dislocated and cracked.But he was just patient, not lazy.

Hearing the report from the servants that Cao Pi asked to see him, Ruan Qing finally let go of the pressure on her legs, and wanted to get up from the seat, but fell to the ground unexpectedly.

The servant who came to report was the little girl Ruan Qing met when she first entered the mansion, named Jinniang.

"Sir." Jin Niang exclaimed, stepped forward to support Ruan Qing, and said with great distress, "Sir, why bother to torture yourself every day, and make yourself feel uncomfortable."

"It's okay." Ruan Qing, who was supported, gently pushed Jinniang away, insisting on walking by herself, "Let's go, it's not easy to keep the eldest son waiting."

Jinniang bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with distress as she watched the stubborn man walk slowly alone, his legs were stiff, knowing that the other party was enduring the pain, her eyes turned red.

She had also been a maidservant in other mansions for a few years before, and even if the gentlemen she met were not domineering, they had never been as sympathetic as the current master.

When she was assigned to this mansion earlier, she had also heard that the owner here was loved and raised by the prime minister and all the honorable and veteran officials since childhood.I thought it must be an arrogant and arrogant person, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

She really likes this well-groomed, gentle and gentle lord.But he didn't understand that the other party was clearly valued by the prime minister, and he had many rewards, but why his brows were covered with melancholy, and he always made things difficult for himself, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Ruan Qing entered the front hall, returned the salute during Cao Pi's meeting, and said while sitting in the main seat, "Sir, please sit down."

He returned to his usual indifferent state, as if he was not the one in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion or in the bedroom of the General Zhonglang's Mansion.

Cao Pi didn't care about Ruan Qing's alienation. He didn't know how Ruan Qing became what he is now, but he knew that Ruan Qing always had himself in his heart.

That's enough.Ruan Qing was left to him by his eldest brother, and he can only be his elder brother alone.

"How is Eldest Young Master?" Ruan Qing asked.

"It's all right now." Cao Pi smiled, his peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, his thin red lips were curved, revealing some white canine teeth, looking youthful and healthy.

"Pi came here to thank Mr. for visiting the mansion the day before yesterday."

Ruan Qing's body was sore, she sat loosely, leaned on the bed behind her, and didn't care too much, "Well, the eldest son is still sick, so there is no need to come and thank you for such a trivial matter. If you have something to do, you may as well just tell me."

Cao Pi lowered his head and let out a soft sigh, then looked at Ruan Qing, his eyes turned away from tenderness, his expression was stern, and his pupils were deep, "Pi came here to ask Mr. to save Ruan Yu."

"Ah..." Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, sighed slightly, leaned her elbows on the bed, tilted her head slightly, and rested her index finger on her temple, "Can you be sure that he has absolutely nothing to do with Ma Chao?"

Cao Pi said firmly, "Pi guarantees it with his life."

Soon he eased his brows and eyes again, and said a little lonely, "Pi knows that it is not easy for Mr. to intervene in this matter, but Pi and Ruan Yu have a very good personal relationship on weekdays. If you explain the truth to him, it will inevitably be suspected of trying to cover up. What's more, because of this matter, my father , I am afraid that there is already a estrangement with Pi. So I can only come to ask Mr.

"Your father..." Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment, then snorted softly, not knowing whether he was laughing at others or himself, "He has always been like this, you are his son, there is no overnight feud between father and son, you don't have to worry about it , or should be respectfully served."

"Yes." Cao Pi replied.

"I'm just, a little curious." Ruan Qing said, "Why did you come to me to help you?"

Ruan Qing understood that Cao Pi didn't come to ask him for help, not because of alienation, but because he cared too much.Cao Pi knew that it would not be good for him to be too involved in this matter, so he was hesitant to ask him for help.Now, for some unknown reason, she suddenly came to him.

Regarding Ruan Qing, Cao Pi didn't hide too much, he said, "Sima Zhongda said, this matter, at this point, only the husband can speak in front of his father."

Because he cared too much, Cao Pi refused to let Ruan Qing go into this muddy water.Because he didn't care, Sima Yi could see the pros and cons more clearly.

Ruan Yu was an aide and close friend who had been with Cao Pi since he built his mansion, so Cao Pi couldn't let him go.What's more, this time it's about him.No matter what, he wants to prove Ruan Yu's innocence and get him out of prison.

"So in your eyes, the Prime Minister values ​​me so much?" Ruan Qing had mixed feelings in her heart, so she could only smile wryly.

The relationship between him and Cao Cao seems intimate and glamorous in the eyes of outsiders, but the taste of it can only be like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or not.

"I'll try my best." Ruan Qing didn't ask much, because Cao Pi answered with a few simple words.

It was too easy to get, even without too much explanation, which caught Cao Pi a little off guard.

But he looked at Ruan Qing's familiar features that hadn't changed much over the years, and he soon settled down.

As early as many years ago, the moment Cao Ang held his hand and asked him to call him elder brother with a smile, the relationship between him and Ruan Qing was destined to be tightly intertwined like two giant vines rising from the ground.

It's like the first thing a baby bird sees when it opens its eyes, it is firmly remembered, no matter how many years it sees again, it will still jump up happily, put away its sharp claws that threaten the outside world, and smooth out its strong and thick feathers.

He also always believed that his elder brother would never harm him at any time.
