Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

"Brother."

"Asheng."

The twins said in unison, and then looked at each other.They had just sent Cao Song off at this time, and were on their way back with Cao Chi and Cao Yin.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

Ah Sheng blinked, and Cao Cao blinked at her too.

Cao Chi on the side couldn't hold back anymore, he laughed and said to his younger brother: "Oh, twins are so fun. I will have a pair in the future."

Cao Yin was more gentle, instead of laughing at them unkindly, he gave a reasonable suggestion: "Why don't you talk about it together."

OK, let's talk together.

"Is uncle our real grandfather?"

"Are Uncle Fifth and Uncle Six our biological uncles?"

The voice is clear and crisp, and the enunciation is clear and uniform.Cao Chi and Cao Yin stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.The clever twins knew the truth by looking at their expressions. They nodded at each other and said in unison: "It seems to be true."

Cao Yin didn't know how to let go of his hands and feet: "You... oh... how do you..."

"How do we know?" Cao Cao raised his head and giggled, "Isn't it obvious? Sixth Uncle——"

A Sheng followed suit and nodded: "You're already calling father elder brother. Since it's not the cousins ​​who are in the same ranking, it's Sanfang's own ranking."

Cao Cao took advantage of the victory and pursued, caught Cao Yin, who was more immature and honest, and began to say: "Sixth uncle, in fact, we have heard that my father had a difficult life under the stepmother when he was young, so he simply adopted him as his heir to his grandfather."

"Hey, hey." Cao Yin looked like he was about to cry, "It's not what you think. It's not... well, how can I tell you... brother, help me."

Ah Sheng had sharp eyes and quick hands, and he and Cao Cao held Cao Yin's sleeve together: "Sixth Uncle, why are you going to see Fifth Uncle? Tell us, tell us."

Afterwards, Cao Cao and Cao Sheng were hit by Cao Bao's bamboo stick three times on their buttocks.But in the end they figured out the truth.

Cao Song is really the son of Cao Bao and his original wife.

And Cao Chi and Cao Yin were born of that powerful stepmother.

This is why Cao Chi and Cao Yin feel guilty towards the eldest brother who has passed away, while Cao Song is honest about the two of them.

It is not groundless that Cao Song's original surname is Xiahou, which was widely spread in later generations.Because Cao Bao's two regular wives all came from the Xiahou family in Peiguo.

Cao Song's biological mother was a concubine of Xiahou's family. After all, when Cao Bao married for the first time, the Cao family had just escaped from the dilemma of not being able to marry a wife. The concubine of Xiahou's family is already high-ranking.

By the time Cao Bao was about to continue, the situation had turned 180 degrees.Cao Teng became the great Changqiu, and Cao Bao himself had already washed off the mud spots on his legs, Mushou Fang.Therefore, the person who entered the door at the back was the daughter of Xia Hou's family who was loved and raised by a lot of love.

Just imagine, as a concubine, you have to concubine the tablet of the concubine elder sister who you can drink around at the beginning, and the son of the concubine elder sister is still pressing on the head of your own son.How can the little princess who has been carefree since she was a child and everything goes well can swallow this breath?

The young Cao Song became the punching bag of his stepmother and aunt.

However, the sordidness among sisters-in-law was never expected by men.They only thought of maintaining the in-law relationship between Cao's family and Xiahou's family, flattered that sisters of the same clan would naturally have blood thicker than water, and that having an aunt as a stepmother would certainly treat their children kindly.

Cao Song cried to his elders several times, but unfortunately no one believed him.Cao Bao's back house was overshadowed by the powerful Mrs. Xiao Xiahou, and there was not even a servant who dared to speak the truth for Cao Song.It wasn't until Cao Song fell into Cao Teng's eyes that he was discovered with bruises on his body while taking a bath.

The two were shocked.

Even sister Xiahou's father and brother were too embarrassed to speak.

The Cao family made a fortune too quickly, and this is the first time that everyone has encountered such a case where a concubine's daughter is the successor of a concubine's daughter.What else can I do?Naturally, Cao Song had to be adopted by Cao Teng.It would be good for everyone to separate the stepmother and son.

As for Mrs. Xiao Xiahou, um, as the marriage bond between the Cao family and the Xiahou family, no one really dares to do anything to her.Cao Song's matter was suppressed, and it was only announced to the public that because of political differences, Sanfang moved to another place and no longer communicated.She continued to be her main wife until she died of illness eight years ago.

With the passing away of the older generation, not many people even know that Cao Song was originally the son of the third house.Cao Song didn't say anything, the people in the third room didn't say anything, and Cao Kun, who was older in the same generation, was not a talkative person. If the twins hadn't guessed it themselves this time, maybe none of the younger Cao family members would have known about it. twists and turns.

"In short, the second brother's father is the fourth uncle." Cao Yin finally concluded, "As juniors, we should not gossip about the elders. But the fact is that the fourth uncle saved the second brother's life."

"I see." Cao Cao nodded.

"What do you know?" Cao Bao scolded him, "What does the elders have to do with you juniors? We are a family that rose suddenly. If we don't unite with each other, we will be crushed and squeezed out in a blink of an eye. Back to original form."

Cao Cao quickly finished his sentence: "Although I don't meet many people, I like the fifth and sixth uncles. It must be because of the close blood. I mean this."

"That's right, that's right." A Sheng chimed in for his elder brother, "The third and fourth uncles are not as close as the fifth and sixth uncles. I always say this everywhere."

When they said this, Cao Chi and Cao Yin were moved to tears.The whole day is either looking for delicious food, or looking for fun, and it is short of supporting the two little ancestors.Even Ah Sheng found the déjà vu of his childhood in his previous life from this unprincipled doting.

The month she spent in Cao's Mansion in Yingchuan was the happiest time since she crossed over.

Probably because of the psychological shadow created by Mrs. Xiao Xiahou, the Cao family in the third room is so ascetic as if they are not the same Y chromosome as Cao Song.There is only one old bachelor, two young bachelors and two children in the simple mansion, life is naturally comfortable.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Shangsi Festival.

The day of the literary meeting in spring is also the day to find a master for the twins.

Cao Bao, as the local governor of Yingchuan, even if he has a younger brother who is a eunuch, but he is a decent, filial and honest man, and he has a good reputation as an official. He has been an official in the local area for almost ten years. He saves face.Cao Bao held a literary meeting next to Yingshui. Hundreds of people attended the meeting, many of whom were descendants of aristocratic families who came from various counties.

Headed by the four largest families in Yingchuan: Chen, Zhong, Xun, and Han.

Of course, many people disagree with this ranking.The Yu family, the Fang family, and the Xu family are also big families. In addition, there are countless small families like the Guo family.

However, the family rankings, population, and wealth are not the most important reference factors, but official positions and talents are. More than 20 years ago, Yingchuan was known as the "Four Leaders of Yingchuan", referring to the four people Zhong Hao, Chen Shi, Xun Shu, and Han Shao.This kind of name is not passed on casually. Naturally, the most powerful family selects representatives and puts them together to bundle and complement public opinion resources.

Is there no one in Yingchuan with higher official positions and better talents than these four?

Of course there are, but none of them belong to top families.

Therefore, in general, Yingchuan at this time, headed by Chen, Zhong, Xun, and Han, still has relative credibility.

Xun Shu and Zhong Hao passed away a few years ago, but their sons are also celebrities.The Xun family has "Eight Dragons", and the eldest son of the Zhong family is the master of Yingchuan County. He is not a big official, but he has a lot of power.

Chen Shi and Han Shao are not young anymore.One opened a private school in his hometown, and the other worked as an official in another place.

Today, except for Chen Shi, most of the people who arrived at the venue were middle-aged and young generations from various families.In Ah Sheng's view, it was the group of people who were about the same age as Cao Song: those who were officials, those who studied, and those who started private schools.

Cao Bao took Cao Cao's son, sat on the host's seat, and greeted various people.Ah Sheng's hands and feet were almost numb from the frequent salutes, and when everyone was seated, the musicians played the sound of silk and bamboo, and celebrities began to show their tea-making skills in the center of the venue.Ignore the strange smell of green onion, ginger and orange peel, which can also be called pleasing to the eye.

A round of tea soup.

Two rounds of dim sum.

Three rounds use drums to pass flowers and drink orders.

It was at this time that Cao Bao showed some intention of finding mentors for the children in his family.Of course, it was impossible for him to ask directly at the table, "Which of you would like to be a teacher for my grandson?" It was rude and embarrassing.Cao Bao's approach was to deliberately tamper with the drinking order and let Cao Cao get it.

Poems and Fu.

After 40 years, Cao Cao is very good at it, but at this time, his skills in this area are obviously not yet brightened.I have to say that Cao Bao is also an old fox, and he has already figured out the twins' talents.The arithmetic is astounding, the art of war has a good historical knowledge, even "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs" are hard to beat. The biggest shortcoming is in literary creation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Ah Sheng and Cao Cao pondered together for a long time before they came up with a poem.

Children's poetry is also one of the joys of drinking orders.Later, when Wang Xianzhi was about ten years old, he also played Qushui Liushang (Note [1]) with his parents, and had to drink as a punishment because he could not write poems.According to the current age of the twins, they can already drink one or two glasses of wine, so it is okay for them to participate in the drinking order, and no one expects them to be able to write famous stories.

But now that the poem has been completed, everyone will support it and pass it on to each other.

At this time, ancient poems and Yuefu poems were popular.The requirement for the number of mediocre words is not as high as that of Tang poetry, but it cannot be without rhyme at all.It was the first time the Cao brothers and sisters wrote poetry, so they could naturally be picked on by others.But where the age is, there are still many people who praise it.

"All the words are written correctly, and the meaning is clear."

"Where is it smooth? The first half is still four words, the second part becomes five words, and the last sentence comes out with seven words."

"Hey, don't stick to the number of words, the meaning is fluent."

"Hahaha, children's work, it's not bad."

"It doesn't rhyme."

"This word is well written, good wrist!"

……

Whether it's true or false, Cao Cao couldn't understand.So he got up and said loudly: "If you can't pass, I will drink as a fine. You are all celebrities, don't shield me because I am young."

Ah Sheng also got up: "I will be punished with brother."

The adults laughed.Chen Shi filled an empty cup by herself, and signaled to the maidservant to bring it over: "Mr. Xiao Lang is so bold and elegant, please drink as a punishment."

The twins drank the peach blossom wine separately.

There was another burst of applause on the field.

Cao Bao took the opportunity to say modestly: "That is to say, they are young, and their lack of talent and learning will not attract criticism. I heard that even the beautiful jade of the He family cannot bloom its brilliance without being carved. If a person wants to have If you have achieved something, you should seize the time to study and live up to the time."

After Cao Bao said this, basically everyone with an online IQ understood: Cao Bao wanted to find a teacher for Cao Teng, the grandson of a former eunuch.Whether to take this job or not, everyone has different considerations in their minds.
