burning beans

The empty bowl was stretched out in front of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi blinked his big eyes: more!

Cao Pi hesitated for a while, but couldn't stand Cao Zhi's aggrieved eyes, so he poured him another half bowl.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi was still not satisfied after drinking half a bowl, so he reached out for more.Surprised, Cao Pi wanted to see his brother's drinking capacity, so he poured him another half a bowl.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi seemed to be unable to stop, the small half bowl was connected to the small half bowl, and he had already drank half of the jar before he knew it, and he still wanted to drink it.Cao Pi saw that his cheeks were already flushed, and he was obviously a little drunk, so he quickly put away the wine jar, refused to give him any more to drink, and coaxed: "You drank it all, it's gone."

Cao Zhi didn't believe it, so he reached out to grab the wine jar.Cao Pi hurriedly hid the wine jar under the table, grabbed Cao Zhi's hand and said, "I didn't lie to you, it's really gone."

Cao Zhi flattened his mouth and stared at Cao Pi with big eyes.

Cao Pi had a headache, so he straightened his face, raised his hand and knocked Cao Zhi on the head, and said, "You think you will be discovered by your mother tomorrow because you smell like alcohol, and then we will all be punished."

Cao Zhi tilted his head, as if he was making a choice between good wine and punishment. In the end, he probably felt that he would drink more after he saved their legs. He looked at Cao Pi with some reluctance, and stood staggeringly. When he got up, Cao Pi got up and wanted to help, but Cao Zhi waved him away.Walking a few steps to the bed, Cao Zhi fell on it as soon as he leaned over, hugging the quilt and trying to fall asleep.Cao Pi was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he hurried over to take out the quilt and cover him up, and he also helped remove his shoes, socks and coat.Fortunately, Cao Zhi's wine was not bad, so he didn't make a fuss, which saved Cao Pi a lot of energy.

Untiing the band of Cao Zhi's hair, Cao Pi greedily looked at the face that was somewhat similar to himself, and unconsciously stroked Cao Zhi's hairline with one hand, it was too small, he was too small... Worrying, his thoughts turned a few times, only to see Cao Zhi turned over on the bed, and seemed to be muttering something.

Leaning over to listen carefully, it turned out to be: "Zhi'er has grown up, Zhi'er can also help his father..." There is still a trace of grievance in his tone.

That's it, it seems that begging for a drink from myself today is to prove that I have grown up... These years, I and Zhang'er have always gone out to fight.Lovingly caressing the soft hair, Cao Pi lowered his head, pecked lightly on the red lips, pressed against the round earlobe, and said softly: "Father will definitely bring Zhi'er next time..."

The scorpion wanders in Huang Liao, and does not know the currents of rivers and seas.The sparrows play with the vassal firewood, and the swans travel with an understanding.

The world's scholars are honest and bright, and their great virtues are unparalleled.Drive to climb the five mountains, and then the small hills.

Looking down on the passers-by, snobbery is only a conspiracy.You read the royal family high, and cherish Kyushu far away.

Touch the sword and thunder.Floating violently.Fanbo disciples wailing.Who knows that a strong man is worried.

In the 11th year of Jian'an, the 20-year-old Cao Pi officially entered the ranks of "adults" at the crowning ceremony.In the same year, the Zhen family returned to Ye with their son. Cao Cao, who was over half a century old, loved this "eldest grandson" very much and named him Cao Rui.

In the same year, Cao Cao spent a lot of money to redeem Cai Yan, the daughter of his friend Cai Yong, from the Huns, and married her to Dong Si.

And as if to confirm Cao Pi's words, in August, Cao Cao went to the east to conquer the pirate Guancheng, and Cao Zhi was finally able to go out with his father, while Cao Pi still stayed in Yecheng.

In February of the 12th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao returned to Ye, and more than [-] meritorious officials were enshrined, all of whom were Liehou.

The jade chessboard is placed on the table, with a raised central part and low flat sides, six black and white chess pieces made of black wood and white wood are scattered on it, and ivory chips are placed on the side.The chess pieces collided with each other, making a series of crisp sounds. Cao Zhi, Cao Chong, etc. sat by the chessboard, watching the black and white chess pieces come and go nervously, their palms were full of sweat, and they were reluctant to blink.Not long after, there was a sound of "poof", and the last sunspot was hit. Cao Pi withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "I have accepted it."

In the weather of March, Cao Zhen on the opposite side had a layer of sweat on his forehead, so he wiped it casually, and said with a smile: "Zi Huan is becoming more and more proficient at playing chess."

Cao Pi smiled: "It's just a little bit of luck, I was very nervous just now." He gave up the chessboard to play with his younger brothers who were already eager to try, and each held a cup of tea with Cao Zhen, sipping, and then said: "Don't look This small chessboard has just twelve chess pieces, but there are countless mysteries in it."

Cao Zhendao: "I'm a rough person, and I don't understand any major principles. But approaching along the side, or attacking obliquely, has something in common with marching and fighting."

There was a burst of applause at the chessboard. It turned out that Cao Zhi hit Cao Chong's black with a white piece.The corners of Cao Pi's lips rose imperceptibly, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared. He put down the teacup and walked to the desk. "Fu" dripped onto the paper.

"Only the ingenuity of playing chess is unmatched. The grand plan of the wisdom on the bud, the permeation is small and the cave is secluded. The game is Jingshan's wonderful plain, with algae blooming. The belly is high and the roots are flat. Like sharpening, slippery like catkins. Chess is black wood with north stems and plain trees with west branches. Hong fiber is like one, shortened and no difference. Elephant chips are planted in a row, one is based on double chi. Talcum mist disperses, clouds spread everywhere. Then straight Knock first and vertically, and lift it twenty-eight times. Create between edges and edges, long and evil are taken one after another. Er is to observe in detail the principle of husband's change, the shape of flexion and extension. Lian Huo Yi, unfolding and turning around. Either leisure and peace, or poverty and sideways .Sometimes the party continues to prosper, or the solitary base stops. At the time, the observers are all humbly jumping, breathing sideways and delaying. Or thundering with big gimmicks, or trembling and unable to speak."

Cao Zhen watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help admiring secretly: "You are worthy of being the son of Mr. Cao, you are really versatile in both civil and military affairs."

A few days later, in the meeting hall, Cao Cao called all the advisers and generals to discuss the conquest of Karasuma in the three counties, but they were opposed by everyone.

"Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are just fugitives. The Karasuma barbarians are greedy and have always recognized profits but not others. How could they be used by the Yuan brothers?"

"The Northern Expedition to Karasuma is a long journey, and it is not possible to return to the army in a short time. If we go deep into the expedition, Liu Bei will inevitably persuade Liu Biao to attack Xudu, and the rear will be in danger."

"If there is a change in the rear, it will be too late to regret, please think twice."

Cao Cao didn't interrupt, his eyes swept over the faces of the crowd, and finally settled on a 35-year-old man dressed as a scholar: "What does Feng Xiao think?"

Guo Jia—Guo Fengxiao—coughed lightly, stood up and said, "Jia thinks otherwise."

"Oh?" Cao Cao was happy: Sure enough, Feng Xiao understood me, but he asked, "How do you say that?"

"Although Mr. Cao is already powerful in the world, the barbarians in the north will not set up defenses against us because of their remoteness. We will be able to defeat us when we are not prepared. As for Liu Biao, he is just a chatterbox. It’s just a guest. I know that my own ability is not enough to control Liu Bei. If I am entrusted with a heavy responsibility, I am afraid that I will not be able to control it. If I am not entrusted with a heavy responsibility, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep it.

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Feng Xiao knows Gu's heart best."

Guo Jia hurriedly bowed and said "I dare not".Looking sideways, Cao Zhang is eager to try; Cao Pi and Cao Zhi sit silently: we are going to fight again...

"螽 (zhōng) Si Yu, Shen (shēn) Shen Xi. The descendants of Yier, Zhen (zhēn, ancient sound) Zhenxi.

Grasshopper feather, 薨 (hōng) 薨 Xi.The descendants of Yier.Rope (mǐn) rope Xi.

The katydid feather, 揖 (jí, ancient sound) 揖xi.The descendants of Yier are stung. "

Holding the three-year-old Cao Rui on his lap, Cao Zhi recited the "Book of Songs" with great interest. Cao Rui in his arms was quiet and listened very carefully, resembling Cao Zhi when he was a child.

When Cao Pi entered the door, what he saw was such a scene. For some reason, there was a feeling of "home", and the warmth wrapped in his heart. The boredom of being called by Cao Cao to discuss matters early in the morning was swept away. And Kong smiled and said: "You two get along quite well." As he spoke, he walked to the table with a few steps.

Cao Zhi raised his head, met Cao Pi's smiling eyes, and laughed too: "Rui'er is so smart and well-behaved, I naturally like it."

On his lap, Cao Rui stretched out his arms towards Cao Pi: "Daddy..."

He leaned down and hugged Cao Rui, and Cao Pi glanced at the pages of the book spread out on the table intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eye, paused almost imperceptibly, and asked casually, "How do you read this poem?" ?”

His eyes flickered, and Cao Zhi turned his head to avoid Cao Pi's gaze, as if reading a poem in a book: "Zhi'er just hopes that the second brother will have more children and more blessings."

"Zhi'er really hopes so?" Cao Pi asked with a slight frown, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart.

His heart seemed a little astringent, but Cao Zhi's gaze did not move, and he replied softly, "En."

Holding Cao Rui's hand tightly, Cao Pi took a deep breath.Seemingly sensing Cao Pi's displeasure, Cao Rui stopped playing with Cao Pi's hair crown, and made no sound at all.

Unwilling to think about the sourness in his heart one after another, Cao Zhi did not lift his head, and continued: "It is said that the Yellow Emperor had many heirs because he had many wives and concubines. The second brother is crowned now, so he should marry more wives and concubines to extend his descendants... ..."

"Where did Zhi'er hear this?" Cao Pi put Cao Rui down and let him play by himself, but he bent down, put his lips next to Cao Zhi's ear and chuckled, "But when it comes to crowning, does Zhi'er still owe the second brother?" A congratulatory gift?"

The ear, which was originally like white jade, was instantly dyed a layer of pink. Cao Pi only felt his heart beat a few times faster, and opened his mouth slightly, just wanting to take a bite on the round earlobe, but he heard Cao Zhi say: "Zhier remembers then……"

"But that's not what the second brother wants." Slightly restraining his mind, Cao Pi's voice was somewhat charming.

Cao Pi's hot breath was in his ears, and Cao Zhi felt a little flustered inexplicably, he hurriedly closed the book, turned his head to avoid Cao Pi's breathing, and said, "What does the second brother want?"

Cao Pi gave a "puchi" smile, his Zhi'er is so cute, he stopped bullying him, stood up straight, and said, "I'll take Rui'er back first, and I'll tell you tonight." He left on his own, leaving Cao Zhi alone in the room, unable to recover for a long time.
