Seeing that he could not refuse, Cao Ang had to choose to write a poem or copy a poem.

Cao Ang is not afraid of writing poems because he can be a "official copywriter". However, for this occasion, it is not easy to choose a suitable poem that is neither high nor low in level and will not overwhelm everyone or embarrass others.

If the level is average, it will generally not be passed down to future generations.

Cao Ang pretended to ponder for a while, and then chanted:

"In late spring, after bathing and wearing spring clothes, it is the time to drink wine and prepare for the harvest. The hidden secrets of worldly affairs should fall into place, and the selfless love of human beings is always flourishing.

Drunkness is not drunkenness, poetry is nothing but poetry. The great Tang Dynasty gathered many gentlemen and did not set up barriers with words."

"Pictures on the Worship of Fengshan Academy" written by Zeng Hongfu of the Song Dynasty is a poem of neither high nor low standard, but it is better than the cleverness of the last sentence. Cao Ang finally settled on praising everyone, and everyone was happy.

After Cao Ang finished reciting the poem, Yuan Shao praised it: "Good poem, really good poem. The wise nephew relies on his horse to speak a thousand words, and he is really a great talent. Today's sentence alone is 'Drunk can be said to be drunk, it is not drunk, the poem is endless

Poems are poems, and they are better than all our articles today."

"Uncle, you are so complimentary! My nephew's humble work is just a piece of cake. If you want to talk about a good work, you have to rely on your uncles."

Cao Ang hurriedly said humbly, but in his heart he cursed: Yuan Shao took the wrong medicine today, and he will never end up catching himself.

The rest of the people also praised Cao Ang's poetic talent.

Although some people also believed that this poem of seven words and eight sentences was not a serious poem, Yuan Shao quickly stopped him.

"Throughout the ages, there have been three-character, four-character, five-character, six-character, eight-character, and nine-character poems. Who can say that seven-character poems are not good? As long as the poem is well written, no matter how many words it is, it is a good poem.

."

When Yuan Shao spoke, no one had any objections, and soon everyone only had praise for Cao Ang.

When Cao Ang listened to these compliments, he didn't feel a trace of pride in his heart. Instead, he felt alert. The poem was indeed well written, but it would be a lie to say how good it was. It was just a made-up poem, and it was inherently limited.

But Yuan Shao spared no effort to praise himself, as if he was lifting a chair for himself, which is really puzzling. Even if he really wanted to lift someone up, it would have to be his son.

Cao Ang suspected that Yuan Shao was "praising and killing" him, but he couldn't think of the reason why Yuan Shao did this. Except that he had been flirting with his daughter recently, he had done nothing.

At this time, Yuan Shao was still praising Cao Ang with everyone.

"We are very envious of Mengde for having such a good son."

At this time, I don't know who said, "We will never have such a good son, but it is still possible to have such a good son-in-law."

After hearing this, everyone joked about Cao Ang and his son, and some even threatened to make Cao Ang their son-in-law.

At this time, Yuan Shao didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "I agree with this statement. Fools often exist, and a good son-in-law is rare. A good son-in-law like the nephew of the Cao family will fall into the hands of others if he is not snatched early."

Everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, Xu You said: "Since I originally felt that Brother Ang was a good son-in-law, and I was envious in my heart, rather than taking advantage of others, it would be better to take advantage of myself."

After Xu You finished speaking, he laughed, and everyone laughed too.

Xu You's words were more teasing than sincere, and everyone else looked at them as a joke. Only Yuan Shao, after hearing this, not only nodded, but also said, "It's not impossible!"

It's jaw-dropping.

Yuan Shao could still really think about choosing Cao Ang as his son-in-law. If it were a concubine, it would be possible. However, Yuan Shao had been a filial piety for many years and had no concubine, only one legitimate daughter.

Yuan Shao's legitimate daughter is matched with Cao Cao's concubine, and a pheasant is matched with a phoenix.

Cao Cao didn't know Yuan Shao's intention, so he quickly said: "Benchu ​​is drunk, Benchu ​​is drunk!"

Everyone laughed again, as if nothing had happened before.

No matter what everyone was thinking at this time, Cao Ang was very clear-minded.

Someone else might have really thought that Yuan Shao was going to choose him as his son-in-law, and was secretly happy. But Cao Ang understood that Yuan Shao seemed to have said something, but in fact he said nothing.

Although Cao Ang thinks highly of himself, he also knows in his heart that there is a huge difference in status between the Yuan family and the Cao family, and Yuan Shao will not marry his daughter off. For a horizontal comparison, Yuan Shao's brother-in-law is Yang Ci's son Yang Biao, and his other sister

Married to the Chenliu Gao family. At that time, the Yuan family was not as prosperous as today's two contemporaries.

The Yuan family would not marry so low just for the sake of family reputation.

Therefore, Cao Ang guessed that Yuan Shao had an ulterior motive.

In fact, Cao Ang judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. Of course Yuan Shao would not hand over his daughter to Cao Ang at this time, but a child of a noble family like Yuan Shao seemed to value the lintel, but in fact he valued reality more.

Yuan Shao was very optimistic about Cao Ang, so he didn't mind giving him a push. If one day, Cao Ang could bring the Cao family to a certain height, Yuan Shao wouldn't mind marrying his daughter to him.

In fact, compared to Cao Ang and Yuan Shao, Cao Ang's thoughts are more old-fashioned.

Cao Ang has always felt that aristocratic families value the lintel, and their children only marry each other. This is true, but this is a family in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Each family has developed enough strength and heritage, so it can internally digest marriages. But the aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty

In fact, the big families have not developed for long, ranging from two to three hundred years at most to more than ten years. Their families are still far from their peak status, and many people are not even aware of their future prospects. Therefore, they will spare no effort to win over those who have the ability.

Talents with potential to help the family.

For example, the Cao family, although they have a bad background, the four generations of Cao Teng, Cao Song, Cao Cao, and Cao Ang all have very good reputations, and the family itself is powerful. Who can guarantee that the Cao family will not become a new aristocratic family.

So it's just that Cao Ang doesn't know, there are really many people who want to marry their daughters to Cao Ang.

Yuan Shao just mentioned it, and no one else elaborated. After everyone talked about this, they quickly turned to other things. In fact, ancient men are similar to modern men. When everyone gets together, what they like most is to talk and criticize.

Fang Qiu, even though his family is living in poverty and not having enough to eat, he still looks like the president of the country when he talks about mountains and rivers.

Regarding these topics, Cao Ang didn't interrupt, he just listened with his ears.

Yuan Shao, who was at the top, looked at the calm Cao Ang below, as if he was not affected by what he just said and was very satisfied.

Yuan Shao knew that Cao Ang was attracted to his daughter. After all, Cao Ang kept sending gifts and books to Yuan's family, and he couldn't hide it from Yuan Shao, the head of the family.

Yuan Shao just took it as a joke at first. After all, Cao Ang was just a young boy, and before his hair had fully grown, he already admired Shao Ai.

But later I saw the story written by Cao Ang, and after working hard, I became interested in this matter. However, Yuan Shao was not going to interfere. It only depends on how far Cao Ang can go and whether he can be worthy of his daughter. Today he spoke to Cao Ang.

He was a "good son-in-law" and he also deliberately tested Cao Ang's reaction.
