    When Cao Ang arrived at Qiao County, he found that the big red lanterns on the top of the city had been quietly taken down and replaced by two newly pasted white lanterns.  A large notice was posted at the city gate, which contained the news of the death of the late emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor.  A scribe was shouting there, introducing the situation to the people entering the city.

    Cao Ang just did a general sweep and led everyone into the city.  Now among the three giants in Qiao County, the county magistrate Yuan Ping has turned to the Cao family, and the county magistrate Cao De is a member of the Cao family, and the county captain Xiahou Dun is still a relative of the Cao family. It can be said that the Cao family has basically controlled Qiao County.  Cao Ang's motorcade entered the city smoothly without going through inspection at all, and there was no need to pay the city entry tax.

    Soon, the motorcade arrived at the gate of Cao's house and entered Cao's house through the side door.  Since Cao Song and his family moved into the county, Cao's old residence has also gone through a series of renovations and expansions, and it no longer looks like the dilapidated state it once had.  Now when people in Qiao County talk about Cao Mansion, they all give it a thumbs up.

    Cao Ang arranged for Xiao Yi to take Liao Hua, Cao Duan and others to his yard, while he himself rushed to his grandfather Cao Song's residence to pay his respects.

    As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard my grandfather Cao Song sigh.  Cao Ang was very surprised and quickly walked into the house and found his grandfather reading a letter.

    Cao Ang coughed slightly, saluted and said, "My grandson has met his grandfather!"

    Cao Song raised his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Zixiu. I thought it would take a few days for you to come back. Let my grandfather see. You are thinner and darker! It is too difficult in the village. I will let you down soon."  Mother will definitely be sad when she sees it."

    Cao Ang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not too hard in the village. My grandson feels that he has grown stronger!"

    As he spoke, Cao Ang playfully made a bodybuilding movement, but with his small arms and legs, he couldn't squeeze out the lumps no matter how hard he tried.

    Cao Song couldn't help but laugh, shook the letter in his hand, and said to him: "You came just in time. I just received a letter from your father, telling you what's going on in Beijing. You can also read it for me.  Give me some advice."

    Cao Ang nodded, took a few steps forward, and took the letter.  I saw some greetings written above. In addition to greeting Cao Song's health, I also specifically asked about the situation of Ding and Bian.  He also asked Cao Song to ask Cao Ang to exercise more and not stay at home all the time.

    Next, the letter said: Before the emperor died, he wanted the prince Liu Xie to ascend the throne and entrusted Liu Xie to the eunuch Jian Shuo.  Jian Shuo then set a trap to kill He Jin and make Liu Xie emperor.  However, due to improper hiring, the news leaked out and He Jin became aware of it.  So He Jin commanded the troops and horses, surrounded the palace city, and created a strong momentum.  Jian Shuo had scruples and had to open the palace door to allow He Jin and others to see the emperor's body smoothly, where he supported Liu Bian as emperor.

    Originally, the situation was relatively stable, but Jian Shuo was so stubborn that he actually remembered the emperor's will and secretly planned with the eunuchs to kill He Jin.  But this old man didn't know who he was, and he was betrayed by Zhao Sheng, the official of Zhongchang. So He Jin discussed with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, launched a violent attack, killed Jian Shuo, and annexed all the forbidden soldiers under his name.

    Perhaps because things went too smoothly, He Jin became arrogant and complacent and did not listen to other people's suggestions.  At this time, Empress Dowager He also began to settle accounts after the fall, and set her sights on Empress Dowager Dong who supported Liu Xie.  Empress Dowager He then sent He Jin to petition to move Empress Dowager Dong out of the capital and return to the country, and imprisoned Empress Dowager Dong's younger brother, General Dong Chong.  Since then, the government affairs in Beijing have been controlled by the He family, and they have become very powerful!

    While reading the letter, Cao Ang corresponded with the history in his memory and found that the basic trends were the same, and there was no deviation from the general trend of history.  What happened next was that He Jin was killed and Dong Zhuo entered the capital.  From then on, the Han Dynasty also entered the Warring States period when princes were fighting.

    Cao Ang said in a low voice: "Looking at the meaning of father's letter, Luoyang will be in chaos for a while and will not be stable in the short term. Grandpa, why don't you let father return home to avoid being involved!"

    Cao Song shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Ang'er, although there are certain risks in Beijing, the benefits are also huge. Now, although your father only has more than a thousand troops in his hands, he can counsel military aircraft and show our Cao family  Influence. This is a rare and good opportunity for your father! It is also a good opportunity for our Cao family! Isn¡¯t it that Yuan Shao, the Fourth and Third Duke, is running under He Jinzhu just for this?"

    Cao Song¡¯s statement is reasonable, and Cao Ang knows that Cao Cao will escape smoothly in the future. In this case, staying in Luoyang does not seem to be as dangerous as imagined.

    Seeing Cao Ang thinking seriously, Cao Song felt comforted. He took a deep breath and tried to steady his breathing, but he still coughed several times.

    Cao Ang quickly stepped forward and patted Cao Song gently on the back.  Cao SongHe sighed, coughed twice, and said with a sigh: "I'm old and no longer useful."

    "Grandpa, don't say that!" Cao Ang said quickly: "Our Cao family has to rely on you to control the direction. If something happens to you, the whole Cao family will be in chaos. In fact, Mr. Yuanhua (named by Hua Tuo)  He is very knowledgeable about health preservation. I will invite him to come and have a discussion with you later. He is now middle-aged, but he has no trouble climbing up the mountain! "

    Cao Song smiled and nodded. This was also Cao Ang's filial piety. Besides, who doesn't want to live a few more years.  The grandfather and grandson chatted some more, and Cao Ang said goodbye.

    By the time Cao Ang arrived at Ding's residence, food had been placed on several tables in the house.  Ding hugged Cao Ang and said distressedly: "My child, you have suffered a lot during this time. You are finally back home. We have to make up for it!"

    Cao Ang said with a smile: "Mother, I am the king of the mountain in the village. I have nothing to eat. I ate quite a few bear paws this winter with nothing to do!"

    Ding laughed loudly, "What's so delicious about bear paws? You just love to be novel, just like your father! By the way, when you come back this time, will Zi Xiao come back with you?"

    Cao Ang shook his head, "When I came back this time, I took Liao Hua and Cao Duan away. There had to be someone responsible in the village, so I left my uncle there. Why did mother think of him? Is there something wrong?"

    "After dinner, go to his house to visit him with some gifts. Your aunt is pregnant, and as a nephew, you should try your best to make Zixiao take time to come back more often!" Ding said with a smile.  A trace of regret and envy, but now that she has Cao Ang as her son, she is not as sad as before.

    Cao Ang knew how she felt, so he quickly agreed and asked smoothly: "By the way, mother, why didn't you see me?"

    "Bian?" Ding said with a smile: "She is now heavy, has difficulty moving, and can't smell the smell of oil. She has been eating by herself in her yard recently and rarely goes out. After you finish eating, come  Go and take a look, it¡¯s actually not easy for her either.¡±

    After Ding adopted Cao Ang, her mind became broader, and she no longer had any thoughts of revenge against Bian who had stolen Cao Cao's heart.  After all, the Ding family is now the legitimate mistress of the Cao family. Even if the Bian family gives birth to a litter of boys, it will not change the Ding family's status!

    To be honest, the level of the cooks in Heifeng Village is really low. They basically stay at the low-level stage of cooking rice. They are not like the cooks at Cao's house who cook every dish with perfect color, fragrance and flavor.  Cao Ang let go of his belly and ate a big meal, which was very satisfying and made Ding laugh so hard: "Ang'er, you must be a fat man when you grow up. Look, just after eating, there are still rice grains stuck to the corners of your mouth.  !¡±

    Soon, Cao Ang finished his meal and chatted with Ding for a while.  It wasn't until the steward came to report the accounts that Cao Ang said goodbye to Ding and went to Bian's residence.

    A maid had already seen Cao Ang's figure and quickly reported it to Bian.  By the time Cao Ang arrived in front of Bian's house, Bian was already standing at the door with his belly in his hands.

    Cao Ang quickly saluted Mr. Bian and said with sincerity: "How dare I have Miss Lao to greet you? Come into the house quickly. Although the weather is getting warmer now, you have to be careful not to catch a cold."

    Bian smiled and nodded, walked into the house with Cao Ang's help, and sat down slowly.  After chatting for a while, Mrs. Bian smiled and said: "Zixiu, you may have seen my brother Bian Bing, but he has no future. But he is my biological brother after all. Now he has nothing to do every day, which is quite worrying.  I'm angry. See if there are any suitable positions. Don't let him wander around in front of me every day and get upset!"

    Cao Ang said with a smile: "This is not easy. Our Cao family has a big business, and there is no place for someone to be arranged. As long as you talk to my mother, if you don't say anything else, it will be easy to be a steward."

    Mrs. Bian smiled slightly: "My sister is in charge of the family, how can I trouble her? Besides, my brother knows it himself. He is so careless. If he really takes charge, he must not cause trouble to the family! He was in Jinan a few years ago.  Having served as a military prince, why don't you take the time to talk to your master (Xiahou Dun) and ask Bian Bing to find a job in the army? It's quite embarrassing for a big man to stay at home every day."

    "Easy to say, easy to say." Cao Ang said with a smile: "The master is also short of manpower recently. I heard that my close relatives have come to seek refuge, and I must be happy. I will go to the master's place tonight and talk to him about this matter."

    Seeing that Cao Ang agreed immediately, Bian was very happy.  As a concubine, she has no way to get involved in the affairs of the Cao family now.  If Bian Bing were to be in charge of the government, people would gossip if he did well, and even if he did poorly, it would be very embarrassing.  It's better to let him exercise outside. If he can make some progress, it will be considered right.The ancestor of the Bian family.

    When Bian was happy, he became a little closer to Cao Ang.  The two chatted for a while, and Cao Ang stood up to say goodbye.  He just went home today and had to visit many people.
