[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty
Chapter 44 Tea House
"Ah Man, you said earlier that you had already chosen a meaningful name for him, so can you tell me a little bit?"
Cao Cao blinked his eyes, and began to play tricks, as if deliberately teasing her, "Show your hands."
A Sheng didn't understand what he meant, but he still followed his instructions, but saw him leaning down and writing a word stroke by stroke on his palm.
Her fingers felt a little sensitive when scratching on the delicate skin, she could only resist the gentle itching, and try to identify the shape of the word with her heart.
Pi.
"Pi means greatness. I hope that our son will have a broad mind and high aspirations. In the future, he will build up Pi Lie's achievements and promote the prestige of our Cao family."
This name contained his deep expectations.
A Sheng couldn't help looking at his son tenderly, rubbing his round head: "From then on, you will be called Pi'er."
Little Pi'er blinked his bright eyes that were very similar to his father's, as if expressing his joy at having a name, and cried "Wow".
Seeing him crying with snot and tears, Ah Sheng was so flustered that he didn't know how to comfort him, he was at a loss for a while.Seeing this, Cao Cao took Pi'er and picked him up. The posture of holding the child was as unfamiliar as that of A Sheng. He kept coaxing him: "Son, don't cry, son don't cry... Daddy is here..."
"He's still so young, can you understand what he's saying?" Pi'er didn't appreciate his father's affection at all, and was still crying loudly, even more so.
"Then can you make him stop crying?" Cao Cao was helpless. The man who was usually admired by thousands of people in the court and on the battlefield was actually struggling with how to coax his son at this moment.
A Sheng was very honest and shook his head: "I don't know how." God knows that this is also the first time for her to be a mother, and she is simply helpless in terms of how to take care of her children.
The door was gently pushed open, and Liu Ma came in with a bamboo basket, and first bowed deeply to them: "I have seen Sikong, I have seen Madam."
She put the bamboo basket on the small table, and said: "These are fresh grapes from Xiliang, Madam has always loved them the most."
Seeing that an elderly servant finally came, Ah Sheng hurriedly waved to her and asked her: "Pi'er has been crying all the time, what should I do?"
Liu Ma picked a round grape and stuffed it in Pi'er's little hand. Although he didn't realize it, he probably thought the round thing was very interesting, so he held on to the grape tightly and refused to let go. The crying is also much smaller.
"The little son has just been born, so it's okay to cry all the time, but as long as Madam teases him patiently, he will eventually calm down."
A Sheng nodded gratefully, but he heard Cao Cao tease: "You see that your sons are just like you, and they all like these grapes, but I hope they are not as stupid as you."
She glared at him fiercely: "Cao Aman, am I stupid? I have always worried that my son will inherit your cunning and cunning character and deceive others around."
"Isn't it good to be cunning?" He raised his eyes triumphantly, "If you are scheming and have a city, you won't be afraid of being plotted against by others."
Speaking of the last two words, his pupils suddenly darkened, he gave her a meaningful look, and then slowly got up.
He did not bring a single attendant, and quietly walked to the door of Ding Xi's house.When the maid saw Cao Cao coming, she hurried in and reported, "Ma'am, Sikong is here."
Her heart sank suddenly.I saw him walking in, covering the dim light of the sun.
She forced a smile: "Why is Sikong here? Shouldn't he be with Sister Bian Sheng?"
He glanced at her inexplicably, and his voice was cold and stern:
"Don't you know what's wrong?"
"What's wrong with my concubine!" Ding Xi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, his tone was suddenly strong, the fierce light in his eyes contained slight tears, and he shouted at him excitedly,
"If I have to say that my only fault is that I accidentally fell in love with Lord Sikong at the beginning. I really didn't expect that Sikong would always like that low-born woman."
It turned out that he really came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, she thought dejectedly, but she didn't want to show the slightest weakness in front of him.
"Ding Xi." Cao Cao lifted his chin slightly, his eyes darkened, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart, "I never thought that you would come up with such a cruel and tricky method. Ah Jie's wet nurse is so innocent, how innocent is she?" Lost a life in vain.”
"Oh, in terms of cruelty, in terms of violence, how can a concubine be as good as Si Kong? A nanny and slave with a low status, is it possible that Sikong still has the leisure to show mercy?"
But he turned a blind eye to her resentful and angry eyes, as if he was so disgusted that he didn't want to look at her again, he pulled the corner of his lips and sneered: "I don't pity her, I pity you even more."
"Why?" She was unwilling to seek his glance, but it was still in vain.
"I have pity on you for wasting your efforts in vain, taking your life to make the whole house think that Ah Sheng is plotting to harm you. You are really stupid!"
Ding Xi's lips froze suddenly, and his eyes stared straight at him, stunned by shock.
"Sikong already knew all about it."
He let out a soft smile, not knowing whether it was pity or mockery, which made her feel cold, "But this is very similar to your style of behavior. This peach blossom porcelain bowl is only owned by the two of you. This is a trick to make others think She framed you to kill Gu with a bowl of green plum soup, which is really hard to guess the truth. Because Gu is really not sure, you will definitely not kill Gu."
"Could it be that Sikong really thinks that this concubine wants to kill you?" She suddenly smiled wryly on her dazed expression, but tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, seeping into her skin to reveal a biting coldness.
He slightly raised his eyebrows, "Is it really important?"
She opened her mouth and wanted to explain something, but saw that he turned and left without waiting for a word, taking away the last trace of sunlight.
**
"Xun Lingjun!" After waking up in the afternoon, Xun Yu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly came to visit, and Ah Sheng couldn't help being a little surprised.She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at him with a smile.
Xun Yu smiled softly, dressed in white clothes, "I want to see the young master, after all, Yu is his uncle, I wonder if Mrs. Bian can let Yu see."
A Sheng nodded quickly when he heard the words, "Naturally, he is very cute and interesting, you will definitely like it when you see him."
While answering him excitedly, she called Hongxue:
"Go and see if Pi'er is awake now?"
"I'll go to the nanny's house to have a look." Hongxue replied in response, which was rare.
As expected of Xun Lingjun's charm, this thorny head couldn't help but be impressed.
A Sheng laughed secretly, and poured a cup of tea for Xun Yu himself, and smelled the faint fragrance of winter plums on his body, permeating his bones.
She was intoxicated by this fragrance, but Hongxue suddenly ran over anxiously, held the door edge and shouted out of breath, "Master, you are gone."
Ah Sheng was so startled that he jumped up from his chair and rushed out. As expected, the bed was empty, and the nanny explained guiltily: "The slave girl just went out to pour a glass of water for the young master, why didn't she disappear after a while?" gone."
As soon as the voice fell, the loud cry of the baby sounded from the wall behind the yard, and the volume was amplified with the ups and downs of the wind.
A Sheng was cautious, and hurriedly grabbed the sword and followed the sound to find it. A black shadow was climbing the wall of the backyard, holding a child wrapped in swaddling clothes in its arms.
Because of holding the child, the speed of the person climbing the wall was obviously slow.The courtyard wall of Sikong Mansion is already quite high, no matter how agile a person is, they cannot climb it quickly.
Pi'er kept crying miserably in that person's hand, tugging at Ah Sheng's heart.
She couldn't help running over at a faster speed, and shouted at the man: "Give me back the child!"
She held on to the scabbard tightly, wanted to draw the sword and stab at it but was afraid of hurting her son, so she couldn't care less about her unhealed body, so she could only lift the skirt that was in the way and climb up to chase him.Fortunately, since she was a child, she liked to climb trees and walls because of her naughtiness, and her speed was obviously faster than the robber who was holding a child.
The man was chased by such a panic, seeing that he was about to be grabbed by the hem of his clothes, he was so shocked that he threw the child against the wall, and quickly turned up in two steps in three steps.
"Pi'er!" Ah Sheng watched his son being thrown into the air in the blink of an eye, and his eyes popped out in shock.The heart was beating wildly and nervously in the chest cavity, and he couldn't help screaming heart-piercingly.
At the very moment, a clear figure in white clothes flew off the string like an arrow, jumped up quickly, and firmly caught the baby's swaddle.
A Sheng looked at him intently, it was Xun Yu.
He gently hugged Pi'er in his arms, and with a gentle smile on his lips, he nodded to her: "Madam Bian, don't worry, your son is fine."
Seeing that Pi'er's crying stopped instantly, those black eyes couldn't stop staring at him curiously, Xun Yu turned around, and the whole person seemed to be much more obedient because of the gentleness and quietness of the person holding him.
When Ah Sheng saw his son lying in his arms safe and sound, his heart immediately relaxed.
But the gangster who tried to rob Pi'er had already climbed over the wall and walked away. She couldn't let it go, and wanted to see who the evil-minded person was, so she didn't bother to thank Xun Yu, and continued to chase .
"stop!"
She kept a close eye on the fleeing man, and gave chase as best she could.The man in black seemed to be physically exhausted, his speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and he always speeded up and ran away when A Sheng was about to catch up.
Gradually, she could already hear the heavy breathing from her nose.Going on like this is not an option after all, sooner or later the man in black will exhaust his physical strength, so it is better to pretend to be lost and slow down.
Sure enough, the man heard the footsteps behind her gradually quieten, probably really thought that she had given up chasing, so he turned his head and walked into a nearby teahouse.
Ah Sheng hid quietly behind the walls of houses in the alley and saw clearly. Seeing that the man had already gone in, he took off the expensive hairpin from his hair and put it in his sleeves, pretending to be a simple and ordinary young woman in the market, and entered as well. Noisy tea house.
It was very lively here, and Ah Sheng took the opportunity to look around.Not finding any trace of the man in black for a while, he stuffed a few pieces of silver into the hands of the man pouring tea around, and asked in his ear: "Brother, where is that man in black sitting now?" place?"
Seeing that Qian's eyes widened, and seeing that it was a beautiful woman with a charming smile, the clerk pointed to a direction in the upstairs corner.
"Thank you bro."
She thanked him as she walked quietly upstairs.The man in black was indeed among the group of people, and seemed to be discussing something.
Deliberately picking a place with a lot of people and not far from them, Ah Sheng ordered a cup of warm red dates tea, and sat there pricking up his ears to hear what evil they were planning.
Because there were many people in the teahouse, she had to listen closely, and it took her a lot of effort to catch a few words intermittently.
"Cao Sikong"
"Shouchun"
"Ambush"
When those people were talking about Cao Cao, they even made a gesture of drawing their swords.
She vaguely realized that these people were not targeting Pi Er.Their real purpose is Cao Cao.
Behind them, there must be a conspiracy against Cao Cao.
It seems that this follow-up has yielded such important news.But who are they and what are their intentions?
"What is the age of the girl, is there anyone who hasn't come out of the boudoir?" Suddenly there was a presumptuous question in her ear, interrupting her hard listening.
She couldn't help but look up annoyed, only to see a strange man's face staring at her enviously.The squinting eyes were full of admiration and admiration, but Ah Sheng just wanted to slap him.
"What are you looking at? Get lost." She chased away the uninvited guest impatiently. Seeing that the people at the next table were about to get up and leave, she couldn't help but tighten her heart, and hurriedly pushed the prodigal youth away and wanted to chase after him.
Cao Cao blinked his eyes, and began to play tricks, as if deliberately teasing her, "Show your hands."
A Sheng didn't understand what he meant, but he still followed his instructions, but saw him leaning down and writing a word stroke by stroke on his palm.
Her fingers felt a little sensitive when scratching on the delicate skin, she could only resist the gentle itching, and try to identify the shape of the word with her heart.
