Chapter 1106 Great Harvest
Xu Du.
At noon that day, Cao Ang and his wife just came back from the lecture on the Shangshu Desk and saw a carriage parked at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In front of the carriage was Mao Ba Nian.
Mao Banian also saw them and quickly came up to worship, "Young master, young lady, Wu Qiu Jian is here, and his mother is also accompanied by him."
Cao Ang said happily: "What are you waiting for? Please come down quickly."
It was not convenient for him to go there, so he had to let Lu Xin receive it.
Lu Xin stepped forward and said a few words to the carriage. The door opened and a young woman in her early twenties led a child of four or five years old and walked down.
Cao Ang glanced at the young woman and looked at the child, with a burning light that was more eager than seeing mountains of gold and silver.
Wu Qiu Jian, a general of Cao Wei, a writer and diplomat in history, served as the governor of four prefectures, severely damaged Goguryeo, conquered Northeast Asia, and defeated Zhuge Ke in Hefei. When the Sima family usurped power, they still rebelled. Although they failed in the end, they also allowed future generations to see his loyalty to Cao Wei. This person's ability is no worse than that of Deng Ai.
Don’t look at this kid being a little bigger now, and he will be shining in the future.
Cao Chong, Deng Ai, Wu Qiu Jian, and Huan Fan who is about to be sent, even if Cao Sheng is as stupid as Cao Shuang, Sima Yi is even more awesome than in history, and he will not even be able to usurp the Cao family's position.
Sima Yi, Sima Yi, you should work for my Cao family in your life.
Seeing that Lu Xin and Mrs. Wuqiu were almost chatting, Cao Ang stepped forward and smiled and said, "Madam Wuqiu, Cao Ang is polite here, it's windy outside. Let's go in and talk about it."
Mrs. Wuqiu Fuli smiled and said, "It's causing trouble for Sikong."
She also figured it out on the way here. It was really too hated for Cao Ang to force the mother and son to separate, but for the sake of his son's future, some things should be tolerated if they can be tolerated.
A group of people walked into the prime minister's mansion and came to the backyard. When they passed the amusement park, Wu Qiu Jian could no longer walk.
The playground has become a gathering place for the children of the Prime Minister's House. Cao Sheng, Cao Chong and others are all playing here, and they are all things that Wu Qiu Jian had never seen before.
It will be a matter of awesomeness in the future. Now Wuqiu Jian is just a child, how can he withstand the temptation of new toys?
Cao Ang was always paying attention to him. Seeing him stop and smiled and waved to Cao Sheng and Cao Tong who was playing, the brother and sister ran over quickly, hugged his legs and smiled intimately: "Dad."
Cao Ang pointed at Wuqiu Jian and smiled, "His name is Wuqiu Jian, and he will live in our house in the future. Take him to play."
Cao Tong turned his head and looked at him with interest. After watching for a moment, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Wu Qiujian's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go play."
Wu Qiu Jian's little head was confused, and he followed him by a stranger.
When I arrived at the amusement park, I forgot my previous worries. Not long after, I got along with the Cao family's children and was so excited about playing.
Cao Ang and others watched the side for a long time, and Lu Xin smiled and said, "Let the children play by themselves, Mrs. Wuqiu, please come here."
After that, Wuqiu Jian and his son lived in the prime minister's house.
Time passed again three days, frost fell, and the sweet potatoes were ready to be harvested.
When the earth woke up in the morning, the earth was covered in white. Cao Cao yelled excitedly, and the roar echoed throughout the prime minister's mansion.
After roaring, Cao Cao couldn't wait to summon Xun Yu and others to the palace and accompany the emperor Liu Xie to sacrifice to the ancestral temple and heaven and earth.
Cao Ang felt ten thousand depressed in his heart. He really couldn't figure it out. Isn't it just a sweet potato? Is it necessary to pull out the ancestors and ancestors to dress up?
The ancestors were sleeping soundly in the grave. They were suddenly awakened by your unfilial descendants. They probably crawled out of the coffin and sucked your heart.
It was almost noon after the sacrifice, but Cao Cao, Liu Xie and others did not plan to have a meal and went out of the city to go straight to the sweet potato field.
When Cao Ang saw that this was not possible, he could not starve his son and enjoy his happiness, right? He ordered Hu San to go back to his house and take Cao Sheng, Deng Ai Wuqiu Jian and other children out of the city, so that they could experience the hard work of the farmers and the hard-earned grains. At least they could tell the difference between grains and grains.
The sweet potato field is thirty miles north of the city, with a total of more than 2,000 acres.
All officials came to the field and looked at the dried and yellowed sweet potato seedlings and smiled satisfied on their faces.
Years have passed, they have long understood the habits of sweet potatoes, and this thing grows underground.
After staring at him for a long time, Cao Cao took a golden hoe wrapped in red cloth from Xu Chu and handed it to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, let's start."
Liu Xie nodded and took it, walked into the field and raised his hoe, dug it down at a dried yellow sweet potato seedling, and then pulled it up. There was a small hole on the ground, and there were three more sweet potatoes in the pit. The smallest baby had a big fist, while the largest one was longer than the unfolded palm.
Liu Xie picked up the largest sweet potato and showed it to his ministers: "Look, this sweet potato is enough to eat."
The ministers all praised each other, and the flatteries like the great man gushed out, and Cao Ang frowned.
The sweet potato was brought back from Caozhou from all the way, so what does it have to do with God?
After the compliment, more than a hundred ministers carried their hoes and walked into the field at the same time, ravaging the sweet potato field in front of them.
These high-ranking officials and nobles who usually wear clothes and eat food are now like the most diligent old farmers, ignoring their brand new official robes, burying their heads in the fields and working hard, and their movements are gentle, for fear of splitting the sweet potato in half with a hoe.
They were about to dig the two thousand acres of sweet potato fields in front of them, and from the emperor to the officials of various yamen, none of them wanted to make a false move.
No, there was still one. Cao Ang dug three of them and was too lazy to move. He sat down on the ground with his knees and began to grind his skills.
Cao Sheng, who was forced to come, didn't. He knew that his father was not easy to provoke, so he didn't go to provoke him. He surrounded Cao Cao with a group of children and kept digging the ground with his hands. Every time he digs out a sweet potato, he could grin for a long time.
Cao Cao was much more patient with them than Cao Ang, and pulled the children to them to explain how to grow sweet potatoes and how to eat them.
The children naturally don’t understand it, but it doesn’t matter. They can pour it in first, and they will naturally understand it when they grow up in the future.
Although there are too many people and heavy hands to work, the workload of 2,000 acres of land is also quite large.
After digging until the evening, several sweet potato mountains were piled up. When they saw that they had not finished digging halfway, the officials were in a state of pain. They stood up and looked at Cao Cao with their sore waists, waiting for the next step.
Xun Yu said, "Lord, it seems that it will be impossible to complete today. Why don't you do it tomorrow?"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Okay, don't go into the city tonight, just set up camp here."
After saying that, he looked at Cao Ang and said, "Zi Xiu, I've been lazy for a day and I'm also active. I'll prepare dinner for everyone."
Cao Ang: "..." I'm not a cook.
The protest was obviously ineffective, so he had to arrange for someone to cook.
The meal is also very simple, with local ingredients, roasted sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, and cooked sweet potato porridge.
This time, all officials became smart. After the meal was ready, they unanimously decided to let Cao Ang eat it first and feed the kid. After saving him a while, he brought out a bunch of delicacies that were disgusting.
Cao Ang dared not object if he was staring at so many murderous eyes. Besides, he was really hungry even though he hadn't eaten for a day. He picked up the sweet potato and ate it so delicious.
The officials stared at him, and only started eating after he was sure that he could not swallow his food anymore. He ate for more than half an hour before he finished eating.
Then he threw the mess at Cao Ang and went to bed.
