Chapter 057 A baby

 It was another winter. In Cao Mansion, Cao Pi and others gathered in Bian's courtyard.

Bian was pregnant for ten months and was about to give birth. Cao Pi was anxiously waiting for the result at the door of the room. Hua Tuo was delivering the baby to Bian who was bleeding heavily.

Bian was not the first wife that Hua Tuo delivered. Just a month ago, Sun Ping, the concubine that Cao Cao snatched from Yuan Shu, gave birth to a son for Cao Cao. Cao Cao named the baby boy Cao Biao.

But Bian's condition was critical at the moment, and the bleeding was not stopping. Cao Cao thought of his first wife, Mrs. Liu, who was in such a scene when she gave birth to Cao Yun and Cao Shuo. Mrs. Liu only lived for a few days before dying of illness.

Cao Cao was afraid that Mrs. Bian would leave him like Mrs. Liu. He loved this beautiful and gentle concubine so much.

When Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang and fled to Chenliu, Yuan Shu sent people to the Cao Mansion in Qiao County to falsely spread the news that Cao Cao was dead. At that time, only the Bian family stayed calm and stabilized the back house, not to mention that she also trained Cao Pi for Cao Cao.

son.

The baby's cry came from the house, but Cao Cao was not in the mood to care about Xinzi. He just wanted to know how Bian was doing now.

"Both mother and son are safe. Congratulations on having another son." Hua Tuo opened the door and said with a smile to Cao Cao.

"Is she really okay?" Cao Cao asked worriedly.

"Reassuring you, my wife just lost too much blood and will be fine after a few days of recovery." Hua Tuo nodded, he was extremely confident in his medical skills.

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He held Hua Tuo's hand tightly and thanked him repeatedly. Cao Pi and others also beamed with joy when they heard Hua Tuo's words. The end of this year can be said to be a succession of happy events for Cao Cao.

In September, Cao Cao captured Yongqiu and completely wiped out the rebels in western Yanzhou.

In early October, Cao Cao pursued the victory and his army arrived in Puyang. After a fierce battle, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu who was short of troops and food, and recovered all the counties in Yanzhou. Lu Bu was forced to defect to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

In mid-October, Cao Cao was happy to have a son, Cao Biao.

At the end of October, Xun Yu introduced his good friend Guo Jia to Cao Cao. Guo Jia was named Fengxiao and was from Yingchuan. After the two met, Cao Cao immediately introduced Guo Jia as a confidant, and Guo Jia became Cao Cao's military advisor.

, took over the counselor position left vacant by Xi Zhicai.

At this moment, Mrs. Bian, who was much loved by Cao Cao, was safe and sound, and had given Cao Cao another son. Cao Cao felt that he was the happiest person in the entire Han Dynasty.

……

"Mom, have you been feeling better recently?" Cao Pi came to Bian's room. Next to Bian was lying a sleeping Cao Xiong. Cao Xiong was thinner than ordinary newborns. Hua Tuo was very concerned about Cao Xiong's healthy growth.

It took a lot of effort.

"Much better, thanks to Mr. Yuanhua, otherwise... wouldn't you go to your Wengweng's house today?" Bian suppressed the unlucky words and then asked Cao Pi.

"Everyone has been busy moving recently." Cao Pi replied with a smile.

"I've only been in Juancheng for a few years, and this time I'm going to Xu County again. It's really a torturous trip back and forth." Bian said with a wry smile.

Cao Pi knew that Cao Cao had contacted Liu Xie, who had escaped from the control of Li Jue and Guo Fan. Liu Xie, escorted by Yang Feng and Han Xian, the old Yellow Turban troops, was ready to flee to Hongnong.

"Last time we moved, my mother had just given birth to Zijian." Cao Pi knew that Bian didn't want to travel, so he could only change the subject.

"I didn't expect it would be a boy again this time. I hope he won't be as disturbing as you, Ziwen, and Zidan." Bian said quietly.

"Mom, when did I make you worry?" Cao Pi asked doubtfully.

"Have you secretly gone to that workshop again recently? Didn't your Uncle Ji tell you not to let you go there again?" Bian asked.

"How did mother know? I... Zidan is really a big mouth." Cao Pi thought about it carefully, and he felt that Cao Zhen should have accidentally let the matter slip.

"Don't blame Zi Dan. Zi Dan is innocent." Bian said with a smile.

The face of a naughty boy flashed in Cao Pi's mind. The naughty boy was holding a ring-headed knife in his right hand and a greasy chicken leg in his left hand...

"Mom, what I do is for the common people of our Han Dynasty. Uncle Ji has always misunderstood me. You must believe me." Cao Pi had no choice but to explain, "There is a saying that science and technology are the first.

One productivity..."

Cao Pi explained many of his thoughts to Bian, and Bian just listened with a smile. She didn't understand what Cao Pi meant by "machinery" and "power", but she was still happy for Cao Pi to share his thoughts with her.

"Okay, okay, Mom just believes in you, but Mom can't make the decision in this matter. You'd better go to your dad and explain things clearly to him," Ms. Bian said gently.

Cao Pi nodded in agreement.

After Cao Pi visited the Bian family, he went all the way to Cao Cao's office. A strange face appeared next to Cao Cao. Cao Pi felt a little strange looking at the crazy person in front of him.

"This is Mr. Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. Come and meet Mr. Cao Cao." Cao Cao waved to Cao Pi with a smile. Cao Cao has been very happy recently and is smiling every day.

Cao Pi said hello, and he began to look at the young man who was called a ghost by later generations. Cao Pi has met too many celebrities now, and he can still show due restraint when it comes to Guo Jia's appearance.

"Master, why are you looking at me like this? Master, are you comparing me, Guo Fengxiao, with others?" Guo Jia asked with a smile. He found that Cao Pi was very different from the weak children, especially his eyes that wanted to see through others.

.

Cao Pi was shocked, but it was Cao Cao who smoothed things over for Cao Pi.

"This kid is always like this, just don't take offense to Fengxiao." Cao Cao explained to Guo Jia with a smile, and then turned to ask Cao Pi, "Why did you come to me today?"

"Father, I want to continue going to Luban Workshop, but Uncle Ji may not agree. I want to ask my father to tell Uncle Ji..." Cao Pi said sincerely.

"I understand. When we get to Xu County, I will arrange a larger place for you, but all the craftsmen must be taken away. You go and tell them what I mean. They don't need to worry about wages.

It will definitely make their family have food and clothing without worries." Cao Pi was very happy to hear Cao Cao's promise. He thanked Cao Cao and left happily.

"Does the lord trust the young master so much? He hasn't explained to you why he wants to go to the workshop." Guo Jia asked doubtfully.

"Zihuan can always bring me some surprises, why not just let him go and do it." Cao Cao replied.

"It is rumored that the military strategy came from the hands of Master Zihuan..." Guo Jia's inquiry was interrupted by Cao Cao.

"Fengxiao, don't try to trick me. You can ask Zihuan yourself. What do you think of Fengxiao?" Cao Cao gave Guo Jia a pass. Of course, with Guo Jia's intelligence, he didn't need to ask anyone else.

Already know the answer.

"...I can't see through Mr. Zihuan." Guo Jia thought for a long time. He always felt that there was no word that could accurately describe the Cao Pi he knew. Cao Pi was indeed too outstanding and special.

"Is there anyone who Fengxiao can't see through? Even people like Yuan Shu and Liu Xuande who have never met Fengxiao can comment on it. My son..." Cao Cao wondered, but his words were interrupted by Guo Jia.

"Master, please don't lie to me, I don't want to follow in the footsteps of Bian Rang..." Guo Jia replied, pretending to be scared.

Cao Cao laughed loudly, and Cao Pi wanted to laugh very much at this time. He did not expect that Cao Cao would agree to his request so readily, and he walked into Luban's workshop humming a song.

"Sir? Why are you here? You should leave quickly. Last time your Uncle Ji saw you coming here, he almost destroyed our workshop..." The person who spoke was the manager of the workshop, Lao Yu.

Yu's lingering fear almost made Cao Pi laugh.

"Don't be afraid, my father agreed to let me come, and I will not leave you behind from now on. This workshop is our hard work..." Cao Pi said confidently.

"Is what the young master said true?" Lao Yu asked in disbelief. He still remembered Cao De's angry look that day. How could a scholar get such anger? I heard that this gentleman is not yet married...<

/p>

"Of course it's true. How can I lie to you?" Cao Pi said and walked into the workshop. Under the diligent work of Lao Yu and other craftsmen every day, a large number of fitness equipment had been purchased and used by wealthy families in Juancheng.

Well, Cao Cao also made a lot of money with these fitness equipment, so Cao Cao treated these craftsmen very well.

"Sir, I want to ask you something." The two of them walked into the workshop together. When Cao Pi was recalling the past, Lao Yu asked.

"What's the matter?" Cao Pi asked confused.

"I heard that the envoy will move to Xu County soon. I wonder if this is true?" Lao Yu asked cautiously.

"Why are you so well-informed now?" Cao Pi looked at Lao Yu strangely. What was Lao Yu going to do when he inquired about this matter?

"Then it's true..." Old Yu took a deep breath, and then said solemnly to Cao Pi, "Master, can you do us a favor? We... want to go to Xu County with the envoy."

Cao Pi was a little surprised when he heard what Lao Yu said, but he immediately understood what Lao Yu meant. These craftsmen were afraid that after Cao Cao left Juancheng, they would no longer be able to live such a life without worries about food and clothing.

"I came here today to tell you about this. My father hopes that all of you will go to Xu County with us." Cao Pi said with a smile.

After Cao Pi explained Cao Cao's meaning to Lao Yu, Lao Yu was extremely happy. He hurriedly patted his chest and assured Cao Pi that no one would want to leave the workshop and that all of them were willing to move to Xu County together.

Cao Pi took a tour of the workshop and said goodbye to Lao Yu. When he walked to the road, he suddenly discovered something.
