Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

In the first month of the sixth year of Yanxi, just after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Cao Song and his two sons were ready to leave.

Grandmother Wu still stayed in the deep courtyard. The early plums in the courtyard were withering and fluttering like snowflakes; while the yellow wintersweet bloomed brightly, like the gorgeous sunshine.

Cao Song kowtowed outside the door and bid farewell to his adoptive mother.

After about 10 minutes, Wu's voice came from inside: "This arrangement is not something you could have imagined in the past. I am impressed with you."

Cao Song blushed, not knowing how to answer.

Mrs. Wu didn't expect him to answer the conversation, she just said through the door, "Bring enough people and money, safety comes first."

Cao Song, Cao Cao, and Cao Sheng replied in unison: "No."

Wu did not show up, but Hu kept sending them to the side of the official road.

"Mother, please go back." A Sheng cupped his hands, "Mother, please take care of yourself while we are away. Don't work in the hot sun in summer, and keep warm at the turn of winter and spring."

Cao Cao also jumped off his horse and said to Mrs. Hu: "Mother can take care of the baby with peace of mind. When the younger brother or younger sister is born, you must write to us. Just send the letter to another hospital and hand it over to Mr. Kong. Qiao County Women's Hospital There are two maidservants of my grandmother named Wang and Zhou, and if mother needs it, just order them."

Things in Qiao County are all arranged.The large number of "second-year students" in the other courtyard were gradually able to take on some responsibilities, while Cao Yu enrolled with the "third-year students" from Sili, Yan, Qing, and Yu.After bringing out the children for two years, the teaching, exercise and life in the school have formed a relatively fixed system.Once the rules start to work, Ah Sheng can slowly draw out his energy.She can't be stuck in the school forever, and it will be a matter of time before she tries remote control.

Ah Sheng left without any regrets.

From the establishment of the Maternity and Infant Hall in Luoyang, to the disaster relief in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and then to sending half of her confidants to Lingnan, it is now her first base in Qiao County.Strictly speaking, every step is risky, but every step is logical.So far, her luck has been good.

The huge convoy gradually receded into the green of the new grass in the distance.

Wrapped in a fur cloak, Mrs. Hu wiped away tears while watching: "Da Lang and Er Lang have always treated me with respect. It has made me ashamed to come to this point."

The maids on the left and right quickly handed her stoves and towels: "The two young gentlemen are going to study. This is a good thing, and it has nothing to do with Madam."

"That being said, but..." she sighed, "What a smart person Erlang is. As soon as the river ripples, she knows that a strong wind is coming; as soon as the clouds gather, she knows that a heavy rain is coming; Knowing that you have to go far away to avoid it. You don’t want to embarrass me!”

The twins, with their older cavaliers, rode as much as they could themselves.But Ah Sheng couldn't sit on the horse for as long as Cao Cao, so she still had to ride with Cao Song in the bullock cart from time to time.

"You can't." Cao Song laughed at her, "In terms of horse riding and archery, you are not as good as your elder brother."

"I still need to practice horseback riding, not necessarily archery."

"Oh?" Cao Song expressed disbelief, "When will Erlang hunt a rabbit or a roe deer for dinner?"

Holding a cup of bitter pure tea, Ah Sheng solemnly refused: "I'm just kind-hearted and don't like to kill."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Ah Sheng: ...She doesn't care about the stupid ancient people.

Cao Cao was sweating all over, and brought two unknown bird corpses to the side of the bullock cart. "Father, are we heading west?"

"That's right. Going forward, you will leave Pei country and enter Chen country. You need to cross the entire Chen country to reach Yingchuan."

Cao Cao has a good memory, and immediately brought up the content related to the place name Yingchuan in his head: "I remember that the third-ranked grandfather was the prefect of Yingchuan since his grandfather, and he is the father of the fifth and sixth uncles."

"Exactly." Cao Song's tone suddenly became stiff.

The twins looked at each other and shut up obediently.When attending the funeral for Cao Teng, Cao Song's attitude towards Cao Chi and Cao Yin was not good.The strange thing is that Cao Chi and Cao Yin respect Cao Song very much, and they are also very kind to Cao Song's two sons.Typical hot face and cold ass.This cannot be explained by simple political differences.Can the large family diversify their investment, can they be regarded as having different political opinions?

The twins stopped talking, and Cao Song also realized the rigidity of the atmosphere, and slowed down his tone: "The four brothers of my father's generation, the uncle, the second uncle, and my father are all gone. Only the uncle of the third room is the only surviving elder. When you arrive in Yingchuan, you must be respectful."

Elder, do you need to say that?

Cao Cao and Cao Sheng said in unison: "Father, don't worry."

As the capital of the Xia Dynasty, Yingchuan has been an area convenient for farming and transportation since ancient times.The many branches of the upper reaches of the Ying River provided the convenience of irrigation and nourished the developed agriculture.The relatively rich material foundation has formed the prosperous humanistic atmosphere here.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this was one of the most prosperous areas for private schools. In addition to the local aristocratic families, many great Confucian scholars from other counties taught here, with disciples ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands.Along the way, you can see neatly dressed young students everywhere. The closer you are to Yingchuan County, the more prosperous the style of study is.

Just looking at the magnificent scenery of Yingchuan, how can one imagine that the Eastern Han Dynasty will perish.

Ah Sheng rode on the horse and followed her brother away from the official road. It was not until she saw the naked peasants plowing in the fields that her heart sank again.

Prosperity is the prosperity of the upper class, and the people at the bottom, even in a place as rich as Yingchuan, still bear the heaviest price of the dynasty's operation.After all, in this society, people who work day and night and still can't afford clothes account for a greater proportion?Or are there more people outing and reciting poems by the river?

Is it the beginning of a dynasty's death when one-third of its people can't survive?Or one-half?

On the second day of February, when the blood-red sunset was about to sink into the horizon, they arrived at the prefect's mansion in Yangdi.

It is a low-key and elegant typical Han Dynasty building, with white walls, brown and dark green columns and tiles, which is more attractive than Luoyang and Qiaoxian's resplendent and colorful.

Cao Chi and Cao Yin had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw the motorcade carrying the flag of the Cao family, they ran over from a distance and shouted: "Brother!"

Cao Song sullenly said, "Brother is Brother Kun who lives in his hometown in Qiao County. I rank second among the brothers."

As if a pot of cold water had been poured on their heads, the two brothers seemed to be wilting, and corrected embarrassingly: "Second brother is well, I have met second brother." Even the next greeting to the nephews was a little lacking in confidence: "It has been many years. No, Jili and Ruyi are already so old, I'm afraid they don't even remember us."

Cao Cao looked at his father, then at his two uncles, smiled slyly, and jumped off his horse: "Uncle Wu, you said you wanted to teach me archery, but you missed the promise. Now I can even hunt birds and beasts by myself."

Cao Chi was immediately overjoyed: "You still remember. Good boy, he looks really strong. It looks like he has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Will you go hunting with Uncle Wu someday? Let's compare with uncle and nephew."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

With the happy meeting of Cao Cao and Cao Chi, the atmosphere was adjusted.A group of people got out of the car and went to the mansion to meet Cao Bao.

Cao Bao, the prefect of Yingchuan, was the elder brother of grandfather Cao Teng. According to seniority, the twins should be called uncle.This was the first time they saw the legendary ungrateful and betrayed eunuch brother and the old man of Liang's party. Unexpectedly, he was an informal character—short brown poor pants, sitting cross-legged on the porch arranging flowers, hands Covered with dirt.

"You find cushions to sit on yourself." He raised his chin to gesture to the cushions stacked on the bamboo floor next to him, "I'll first plant this pot of peonies and then come to greet you."

Cao Song grimaced, and dragged a cushion to sit on: "No."

The twins had to sit down with their father, and then secretly observed the great-uncle.Since he is older than Cao Teng, he is at least over 60 years old, so he is considered a long-lived person.His beard and hair are all white, and his expression is calm. Even in coarse clothes, he still looks like an old fairy.

Cao Old Immortal Bao slowly planted the dead branches that were bare and completely unrecognizable as peonies, poured a little water on them, washed his hands and face, and changed into a sitting posture. "Although you have explained your purpose in the letter, it is better to explain clearly in person. But your family's Dalang and Erlang are going to study in Yingchuan?"

Cao Song nodded: "Exactly."

"It's too young to go to a private school. Ji Xing passed away early, so I guess they haven't read all the characters yet."

"A Sheng and I just counted before we came here, and we know a total of 680 Chinese characters." Cao Cao quit, he was most afraid of being underestimated, so he interrupted immediately, "I can write and recognize Lishu, cursive script, Xiaozhuan, and Xiaokai. "

This amount of literacy is definitely something to be proud of for a nine-year-old child.

"Oh." Cao Baorao asked with interest, "I'll test you. Cao Bao's praise word is praise for praise. How do you write it?"

"Praise character, bao is the sound, and clothes are the meaning. Take apart the two strokes on the top of the word yi, and add a protective bao inside."

"If you want to avoid the praise of your elders, what will you do?"

"If it's speaking, I'll use a wrap instead; if it's writing, I'll delete the penultimate stroke."

The answers were fluent, so that Cao Bao could not find fault.He didn't intend to take the exam again: "You are not bad, but your spirit is a little high and needs to be polished."

Cao Cao still wanted to refute, but Cao Bao had already put his test eyes on Cao Sheng: "Erlang, do you know why you and your brother left home to study?"

Ah Sheng: ...I know, because I wanted to leave home myself, so I persuaded my father.She suddenly had a clumsy thought: "Because Yingchuan has a prosperous style of study? And there are no famous teachers in Qiao County."

Cao Bao laughed loudly: "You are dishonest, you don't look like your father's child."

Well, it turns out that this one also knows about her reputation as a child prodigy.Ah Sheng quickly changed his words: "The stepmother is pregnant, and I'm afraid of being involved in the struggle in the rear house, which is also one of the reasons."

Cao Song helped his daughter to speak, but still had a dull face: "It's hard to be a legitimate son who lost his mother, and my uncle knows that. These two children will be entrusted to my uncle."

Cao Bao snorted coldly: "Since you still hate me, why do you entrust your son-in-law to me? Are you afraid that I will eat them?"

Cao Song bowed obediently: "I have entrusted it to my uncle."

Both of them were in a stalemate with cold faces, and in the end Cao Bao was defeated first: "I know, I know. There are only two juniors in Manfu, and it's too late to be a treasure, so you can go to Luoyang with peace of mind."
