Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

In the first month of the sixth year of Yanxi, just after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Cao Song brought his two direct sons to set off.

Grandmother Wu still stayed in the deep courtyard. The early plums in the courtyard were withering and fluttering like snowflakes;

Cao Song bowed at the door and said goodbye to her adoptive mother.

After about ten minutes, Wu's voice came from inside: "This arrangement is not like you can think of before, I am impressed by you."

Cao Song blushed, not knowing how to answer.

Wu didn't expect him to pick up the words, and said through the door: "Bring enough people, bring enough money, safety first."

Cao Song, Cao Cao, and Cao Sheng answered in unison: "No."

The Wu family did not show up, but the Hu family kept sending them to the official road.

"Mom, please come back." Ah Sheng handed over. "When we are away, mother please take care of your body. Don't work in the hot sun in summer, and keep warm at the turn of winter and spring."

Cao Cao also jumped off the horse and said to Mrs Hu, "Mother can raise the baby at ease. When the younger brother or younger sister is born, be sure to write to us. Send the letter to Mr. Kong in another courtyard. There are two grandmother's maids in Qiao County Women's Medical Hall, named Wang Shi and Zhou Shi, if your mother needs it, just tell them."

Everything in Qiao County is arranged. The large number of "second-class students" in the other courtyards were gradually able to take part in their responsibilities, while Cao Yu joined the "third-class students" from Sili, Yan, Qing, and Yu. After bringing out two grades of children, the teaching, exercise and life in the school have formed a relatively fixed system. Once the rules start to work, Ah Sheng can slowly draw out his energy. She couldn't be trapped in the school forever, and it was a matter of time before she tried remote control.

A Sheng left without any regrets.

From the establishment of a maternity and infant hall in Luoyang, to the disaster relief on Yanzhou and Qingzhou Roads, and to sending half of her confidants to Lingnan, now is her first stronghold in Qiao County. Strictly speaking, every step is a risk, but every step is logical. So far, her luck has been good.

The huge motorcade gradually drifted away, submerging into the green of new grass in the distance.

Hu was wrapped in a fur cloak, wiping tears while looking at him: "Dalang and Erlang have always treated me with respect. To this point, it makes me ashamed."

The left and right handmaids hurriedly handed her a stove and a towel: "The two young gentlemen are going to study, which is a good thing, and has nothing to do with Madam."

"Even so, but..." She sighed, "What a wise man Erlang is. The moment the river ripples, she knows the wind is coming; the clouds gather, she knows the rain is coming ; As soon as her heart was shaken, she knew that she had to go far to avoid it. This is not to make me embarrassed! "

The twins were accompanied by older knights, and they rode as much as possible themselves. But Ah Sheng couldn't sit on Cao Cao for so long, so she still had to run with Cao Song on the bullock cart from time to time.

"You can't." Cao Song laughed at her, "In terms of horseback riding and archery, you are not as good as your brother."

"I do have to practice horse riding, not necessarily archery."

"Oh?" Cao Song expressed disbelief, "When will Erlang hunt a rabbit or a roe deer for a snack?"

A Sheng held a cup of bitter pure tea and refused seriously: "I'm just kinder, I don't like killing."

"Hahahaha."

A Sheng: ...she doesn't care about stupid ancient people.

Cao Cao ran out of sweat and came to the ox cart with two unknown bird carcasses. "Father, are we heading west?"

"That's right, you will leave Pei country and enter Chen country. You need to cross the entire Chen country to reach Yingchuan."

Cao Cao has a good memory, and immediately recalled the content related to the name of Yingchuan from his mind: "I remember that the third grandfather was the prefect of Yingchuan, the fifth uncle, Sixth Uncle's father."

"Exactly." Cao Song's tone suddenly became hard.

The twins looked at each other and shut up. During the funeral for Cao Teng, Cao Song's attitude towards Cao Chi and Cao Yin was not good. The strange thing is that Cao Chi and Cao Yin respect Cao Song very much, and they are very kind to Cao Song's two direct sons. Typical hot face on cold ass. This is not simply explained by political differences. Can big families diversify their investments count as political differences?

The twins stopped talking, Cao Song also realized the stiffness of the atmosphere and slowed down: "My father's four brothers of the same generation, the uncle, the second uncle and my father are all gone. There are only three bedrooms. Your uncle is the only surviving elder, you must be respectful when you arrive in Yingchuan."

Respect the old, do you need to say that?

Cao Cao and Cao Sheng said in unison, "Father, don't worry."

As the capital of the Xia Dynasty, Yingchuan has been a convenient area for farming and transportation since ancient times. The many branches in the upper reaches of the Ying River provide the convenience of irrigation and nourish the developed agriculture. The relatively prosperous material foundation has cultivated the thriving cultural atmosphere here.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this was one of the most prosperous areas for private schools. In addition to local families, there were also many great Confucians from other counties teaching here, with disciples ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. Along the way, neatly dressed young students can be seen everywhere.

Just looking at the splendid scenery of Yingchuan, how can you imagine that the Eastern Han Dynasty will end?

A Sheng rode on the horse and followed her brother away from the official road. It was not until she saw the peasants who were cultivating naked in the fields that her heart sank again.

Prosperity is the prosperity of the upper class, and the people at the bottom even in a place as rich as Yingchuan, still bear the heaviest price for the operation of the dynasty. After all, in this society, the proportion of people who work day and night and cannot afford to wear clothes is more accounted for? Or are there more people outing and reciting poetry by the river?

A dynasty, when one third of the people cannot stand strong, is the beginning of its death? Or half?

On the second day of February, when the blood-red sunset was about to sink into the horizon, they arrived at the prefect's mansion in Yangzhai.

A low-key and elegant typical Han Dynasty building, white walls, brown and dark green columns and tiles, compared to Luoyang and Qiaoxian's splendid and colorful, more attractive like.

Cao Chi and Cao Yin had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw the motorcade under the Cao family flag, they ran over from a distance and shouted, "Brother!"

Cao Song said with a serious face: "The eldest brother is the eldest brother Kun who lives in his hometown in Qiao County. I am the second among brothers."

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on the head, the two brothers were wilted, and corrected embarrassingly: "Second brother is well, I have seen the second brother." Lian and then greeted the nephews. They are a little lacking in confidence: "I haven't seen you for many years, Geely and Ruyi are so big, I'm afraid they don't remember us."

Cao Cao looked at his father, then at his two uncles, smiled slyly, and jumped off his horse: "Fifth uncle, you said you wanted to teach me archery, but you broke the appointment. Now I can I hunted birds and beasts myself."

Cao Chi immediately rejoiced: "You still remember. Good boy, he is really strong enough, at first glance, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. When will you go hunting with fifth uncle? Our uncle and nephew The two compare well."

"Good! It's a word!"

With Cao Cao and Cao Chi meeting each other happily, the atmosphere can be adjusted. The group got out of the car and went to the mansion to meet Cao Bao.

Yingchuan prefect Cao Bao is the elder brother of grandfather Cao Teng. According to the seniority, the twins should be called uncle grandfather. This is the first time they have met the legendary ungrateful old man who betrayed the eunuch's younger brother and the Liang clan. Unexpectedly, he was an informal character - short brown poor pants, sitting cross-legged under the porch, sorting flowers, and dipping his hands full of dirt.

"Find your own cushions to sit on." He raised his chin and gestured to the cushions stacked on the bamboo floor next to him, "I'll plant this pot of peonies first and then greet you."

Cao Song made a wooden face, dragged a cushion and sat down: "No."

The twins had to sit down with their father, and then secretly observed the uncle. Since he is older than Cao Teng, he has lived to be at least sixty years old, and he is considered a longevity person. His beard and hair are all white, and his expression is calm, even if he wears coarse clothes, he still has the style of an old fairy.

"Although you have already stated your intention in your letter, it is better to make it clear in person. But your family's Dalang and Erlang are coming to Yingchuan to study?"

Cao Song nodded: "Exactly."

"It's too young to go to private school. Ji Xing died early. I think they haven't recognized all the words yet."

"A Sheng and I just counted before we came, we know a total of 3,681 Chinese characters." Cao Cao quit, he was most afraid of being underestimated, and immediately interjected, "Li Shu , cursive script, small seal script, small script, all can be written and recognized.”

This literacy level is definitely something to be proud of for a child who is just nine years old.

"Oh." Cao Bao asked with great interest, "I will test you, Cao Bao's praise is a praise of praise, how to write it?"

"Praise word, protect for sound, clothing for meaning. Take apart the two strokes above the clothing word, and add a safeguard inside."

"If you want to avoid the compliments of your elders, what would you do?"

"If it's speaking, replace it with a wrap; if it's writing, I'll delete the penultimate apostrophe."

The answers are fluent, so that Cao Bao can't make mistakes. He didn't mean to take the test again: "You're not bad, but your spirit is a little high and needs to be polished."

Cao Cao still wanted to refute, but Cao Bao had put his test eyes on Cao Sheng: "Erlang, do you know why you and your brother left home to study?"

A Sheng: ...I know, because I wanted to leave home, so I persuaded Dad. She suddenly had a hidden thought: "Because Yingchuan has a prosperous style of learning? And there are no famous teachers in Qiao County."

Cao Bao laughed loudly: "You are not honest, you don't look like your father's child."

Well, it turns out that this one also knows her reputation as a child prodigy. Ah Sheng hurriedly changed his words: "My stepmother is pregnant, and I am afraid of being involved in the struggle of the back house, which is also one of the reasons."

Cao Song helped her daughter to speak, but still had a blank face: "It is difficult to be a direct son who has lost a mother, and my uncle knows it. These two children are entrusted to my uncle."

Cao Bao snorted coldly: "Since you still hate me, why are you entrusting your direct son to me? Aren't you afraid that I will eat them?"

Cao Song bowed hard: "I entrusted it to my uncle."

Yang go."
