    Cao Ang and the other two left the "Yuanhua Thatched Cottage" and hurriedly found a clean restaurant at the corner of the street and walked in.  Cao Ang casually ordered four dishes of side dishes, and asked for a bottle of wine for Lao Zhao, and the three of them started eating.

    While eating, the three of them listened to the chatter of everyone in the restaurant, talking about the slave trade.  It turns out that the merchant selling slaves this time was quite high-profile.  After they registered with the government, they rented a large inn and spread the news everywhere. This afternoon was the big day for the first sale, where all the high-quality goods were available.

    Hearing this, Cao Ang and the other three sped up their eating speed, and soon paid their bills and left.  When they arrived at the inn, it couldn't be said to be a huge crowd of people. Anyway, it was difficult to move.

    Lao Zhao and Xiao Yi protected Cao Ang in the center, and while pushing forward, they explained their identities as members of the Cao family.  It should be said that the Cao family still has a certain influence in Qiao County, and soon a small gap appeared in the crowd, enough for them to pass.

    "Old Zhao bowed to everyone in return, then protected Cao Ang and walked inside, knocking down pickpocketing hands quietly reaching out from the crowd from time to time.

    When the three of them were halfway there, Cao Ren popped out from the crowd and asked with a sly smile: "Aang, why are you here too? Haha, do you also want to find a maid?"  Raise them up, your childhood sweethearts?"

    Cao Ang smiled bitterly, "Uncle, what are you guessing? Mrs. Ding has been working very hard recently. She is used to being thrifty, and she refuses to buy a maid. I have some spare money recently, so I want to buy her a maid who can beat her back. By the way, uncle.  , why don¡¯t you reveal your identity and instead hang out with the crowd?¡±

    Cao Ren took a few steps forward, got close to Cao Ang, and whispered: "What do you know?! It's more lively than the Chinese New Year right now. The big girls and young wives are all out. People are bumping into each other. I'm addicted to handiwork.  ah!"

    As Cao Ren got closer, Cao Ang saw a faint red handprint on his cheek. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that someone has marked my uncle's face. I wonder whose hot girl it is?"

    "Spicy? You mean Qin Jiao! It's really spicy!" Cao Ren said intoxicatedly: "That girl looks like a peerless beauty from the back. I didn't expect her face to look so ugly. My uncle deserved this slap."  ah!"

    The uncle and nephew laughed and walked forward, and soon came to the main entrance of the inn. When the guy in charge of the review heard that he was from Cao's house, he was rewarded with a bunch of small coins by Cao Ren, so he readily got out of the way.  , let them in.

    Cao Ren and Cao Ang strode in with Lao Zhao and Xiao Yi. However, before they could take a few steps in a majestic manner, they quickly stopped and looked at Cao Song who was sitting in the middle of the lobby anxiously.  !  The person standing next to him was Cao De, Cao Anmin's father.

    Cao Ang was very surprised. How could his grandfather Cao Song personally take care of such a trivial matter as purchasing a slave?  Surprised, Cao Ang hurried forward to salute and said loudly: "Ang'er has met his grandfather and uncle."

    Cao Ren also quickly saluted and said, "Zixiao has met his uncle and his elder brother."

    Before Cao Song could answer, Cao De on the side had already sneered and said: "Father, it's a good thing that you and I came in to sit around after passing by. Otherwise, how could we have found out about Aang's evil thoughts? At a young age, I have been thinking about sensuality, dogs, horses, and horses.  His father is exactly the same! Meng De is acting recklessly in Jinan now, how much trouble he has caused you, father, like father, like son!"

    Cao Song did not answer, but smiled slightly.  Cao Song had mixed feelings about his eldest son, Cao Cao.

    At first, Cao Song didn't like his son very much, because Cao Cao was young and energetic. He had no fame but loved to dance with guns and sticks, which often brought a lot of trouble to Cao Song.  On the contrary, although Cao De was a bit dull, he was extremely obedient and satisfied Cao Song. Cao Song even planned to let Cao De inherit the family business.

    However, Cao Cao was later promoted to the position of Lieutenant in the North of Luoyang. He was rewarded and punished for his merits. He managed the capital in an orderly manner, showing his outstanding political talent, winning the praise of scholars, and gaining a good reputation for the Cao family, which is worth a lot of money.  !  Cao De, however, was extremely bookish. He only knew how to buy books and talk in vain. Although he did not squander his family property, he had no income.  Comparing the two, Cao Song naturally paid more attention to Cao Cao and even supported him vigorously.

    With the support of Cao Song, Cao Cao was promoted to Dunqiu Ling and Yilang. Finally, taking advantage of the golden opportunity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was appointed Cavalry Commander.  And Cao Cao lived up to his high expectations, seized the opportunity to quell the chaos, made great military exploits, and was eventually promoted to the prime minister of Jinan.

    Although Cao Song did not appreciate the policies adopted by Cao Cao in Jinan and was secretly angry that Cao Cao had offended people in the officialdom, he was still very satisfied with his energetic son.  In comparison, Cao De, who had a narrow vision and was petty, slandered his brother Cao Cao many times, which made Cao Song even more dissatisfied.

    Cao Song did not listen to Cao De's instigation, but instead ignored Cao Ang, who he had never taken seriously.He said: "Ang'er is coming to join in the fun too? It's good to gain some experience, so that you don't have to stay at home for a long time and get angry with the headscarf!"

    Cao Song's words not only excused Cao Ang, but also revealed his dissatisfaction with Cao De.  When Cao De heard this, his expression froze; Cao Ang did not dare to answer, but bowed his head and saluted.

    Cao Ren on the side smiled and said: "Uncle, I really envy your family, the father is kind and the son is filial! No, Aang saved his monthly money for a long time and came here specially to buy a maid who can beat her back for aunt. If I can do it in the future  I will definitely be satisfied to have such a filial child!"

    When Cao Song heard this, his heart warmed, and he smiled and said to Cao Ang: "I didn't expect you to be so filial at such a young age. Grandpa really underestimated you! There are ten gold coins here. Take it. From today on,  Your monthly allowance has been increased to five guan, which is the same as Ding¡¯s, and will be allocated directly from my house.¡±

    Cao Ang quickly thanked his grandfather for the reward and received the ten gold coins.  However, he did not agree to the monthly increase in money. Instead, he said to Cao Song: "Grandfather, since ancient times, there has been a distinction between seniority and inferiority, and there has been an order of seniority. Mrs. Ding is my elder. How can my monthly salary be the same as hers? Although  I only have half a pound of money every month now, but I am still young and don¡¯t have much expenses, which is enough for daily needs. I really don¡¯t dare to accept what my grandfather gave me.¡±

    If Cao Ang's previous actions only warmed Cao Song's heart, then his subsequent rejection of the monthly money made Cao Song's eyes light up: This Cao Ang knew both superiority and inferiority, advance and retreat, and he could make money in front of him.  Talking is really rare!  You must know that Cao Song lived in Dahonglu, and he once donated an official to become a Taiwei. At home, he was the patriarch of the Cao family, which can be said to have great authority!  The younger members of the family were all timid when they saw him. There was no one as generous as Cao Ang. This concubine's son was really amazing!

    Cao Song said softly: "It is very good that you can know the superiority and inferiority, and know how to advance and retreat! But the elders give it to you, so you can't refuse it. How about this, you will still have five guan per month, and Ding's monthly salary will be increased to eight guan, all of which will be paid by my house.  ! Your mother died young, and Ding spent a lot of effort on your education, I should also praise her!"

    Hearing what Cao Song said, Cao Ang quickly fell to the ground and said, "My grandson thanks my grandfather for the generous gift on behalf of Mrs. Ding. May my grandfather be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"

    After hearing what Cao Ang said, Cao Song laughed loudly and actually patted the couch next to him and asked Cao Ang to come forward and sit down.

    You must know that those who can occupy a place in the auction are all powerful people in Qiao County, and the seat next to Cao Song is not a direct descendant of the Cao family, so he cannot sit on it!  Even Cao Ren is not qualified to sit there!  If you don't see Cao De, he still has to stand beside you, so he has no chance to sit on the couch!

    Although Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao, his status has always been embarrassing because his mother is only a concubine.  If he can be appreciated by his grandfather Cao Song, and the Ding family has been childless for a long time, he will almost be able to secure his status as Cao Cao's legitimate son!

    Facing Cao De's angry and even slightly ferocious eyes, feeling the envious, jealous and hateful attitude of the people around him, Cao Ang stepped forward generously, free and easy but not ostentatious.  After saluting Cao Song, he sat down steadily.

    Cao Song nodded lightly. This Cao Ang really gave himself a big surprise.  He has filial piety, knows how to advance and retreat, and has courage and magnanimity. He is truly an outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Cao family.  Why do the masters in ethnic studies turn a blind eye to such good talents?  This may also be related to Cao De and his son around him. It seems that it is time for him to rectify the house again!

    At this moment, in the secret attic on the third floor of the inn, Lingshan whispered to Lingyue: "Senior sister, most of the gentry in Qiao County have come here, and I even saw the father of the thief Cao! Otherwise, let's launch a campaign  Cultists, capture or kill them all!¡±

    Lingyue shook her head slightly, and also lowered her voice and said: "Little junior sister, don't be anxious! The purpose of our coming to Qiao County is not to kill people to vent our anger, but to put down roots! You know, the darkest place is under the lamp! Although Cao Cao is here  Jinan swept our altar, but he would never have thought that we would take refuge in his hometown, Qiao County. Besides, we listened to your suggestion and evacuated Jinan earlier. In addition to losing some money donated by believers, our core  The believers did not suffer much loss. Little junior sister, you have always acted prudently, don¡¯t be blinded by temporary hatred!"

    Hearing this, Lingshan slowly exhaled, calmed down, and nodded lightly.  She asked curiously: "Sister, I originally proposed to dress up as a human trafficker, but I just wanted to cover up our whereabouts and not attract the attention of the government because of the large group of people. If you really want to make some money, you can buy more on the road.  These slaves are here to be sold, why do we want to mix with our own followers? They are loyal to our Moon Worship Cult, but if they sign a contract of sale, they will become slaves and servants, and there will be no freedom at all!"

    Lingyue smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Little junior sister, you are still immature. We came to Qiao County to develop not only to avoid the government's investigation, but also toThis is just for the future development of our Moon Worship Sect.  If we want to transform from an obscene sacrifice to a serious sacrifice recognized by the court, we cannot rely solely on our development among the people. We must have our own spokesperson in the government!  Otherwise, your second senior sister wouldn¡¯t be willing to take the risk and sneak into the palace!  We can't be idle until her actions bear fruit!

    The congregants who voluntarily became slaves this time are all loyal and loyal members of our Moon Worship Sect. They were mixed among the slaves and infiltrated the gates of the powerful people in Qiao County, which is equivalent to giving us more than a hundred pairs of eyes.  More than a hundred eyes and ears!  Through them, we can collect various dynamics of the Qiao County gentry and select those who can be mobilized and supported.  Finally control Qiao County and even the entire Pei Kingdom!  Junior sister, our road to the revival of the Moon Worship Sect begins today!  "
