After Cao Cao returned home, it did not affect Cao Pi's busy and fulfilling life. Cao Pi still insisted on reading and studying scriptures with Cao De every morning, practicing martial arts and boxing with Cao Ang in the afternoon, and playing chess with his brothers in the courtyard in the evening.

For fun, Cao Pi did this every day, maintaining an extremely regular life.

Cao Zhen joined Cao Pi's "Growth Plan" after hearing about Cao Pi's deeds. Although Cao Zhen was relatively slow academically, he showed great talent in martial arts.

Cao Zhen was relatively fat, but extremely agile. During the sparring between the two, Cao Zhen was often able to evade Cao Pi's attacks incredibly and complete counterattacks. Cao Pi thought of the historical Cao Zhen who fought in all directions and was dubbed the "Eight Tigers" by later generations.

One of the titles of "riders", it seems that talent has a profound impact on a person's growth, but you don't know what your talent is?

Now that it is October, the winter wheat in Qiao County has been planted, and the weather has turned a bit cooler. Everyone has put on fur clothes and cotton robes. In the cold weather, the Cao Mansion is still peaceful and reunited after the "addition"

In such an atmosphere, Cao Cao invited his generals to visit his home on this day, and the servants in the mansion had been busy since early in the morning.

"Zihuan, did you understand what Uncle Ji said yesterday? Tell me about it." Cao Zhen scratched his head, pointed to the obscure words on the slip in his hand and asked Cao Pi for help.

Cao Pi picked up the slips and began to explain to Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen sat up and listened with interest. Cao Zhen felt that Cao Pi was completely different from other people, such as Cao De and Cao Shuo, who always spoke very boringly when answering his questions.

I can't help but feel sleepy and distracted. Cao Pi will give some vivid examples, so I can understand many difficult-to-understand things and understand the truth.

Cao Zhen therefore sincerely admired Cao Pi, who was one year younger than him. Cao Pi also enjoyed the feeling of being a top student.

"Zihuan, Zidan, there are guests coming to the house this afternoon. You two go back and get ready. Remember to change your clothes." Cao Ang found Cao Pi and Cao Zhen and said to them, "We will not practice this afternoon. We will continue tomorrow."

”

"Brother, who is coming to our house this afternoon?" Cao Zhen stretched and asked, "Are they Uncle Ji and Weng Weng?"

"Not only Uncle Ji and Weng Weng, I heard from my mother that there are also several uncles from our Cao family who are coming. These uncles all fought against Dong Zhuo with their father." Cao Ang replied with an admiring tone.

Cao Pi knew that today he could finally meet Cao Cao's clan generals, his uncles and brothers, and he couldn't help but have a lot of expectations in his heart. He didn't know what the names that had appeared in the books looked like and what their personalities were.

Will they really be as brave and powerful as described in the book?

After Cao Ang finished talking to the two of them, they went to inform the others. Cao Zhen and Cao Pi also went back to their rooms to pack their clothes. After getting the news, Bian came to Cao Pi's room to help Cao Pi tidy up. During the tidying up, he repeatedly told Cao Pi to understand etiquette.

, Don’t talk nonsense during the dinner. Cao Pi knew his mother’s thoughts and smiled and nodded frequently.

After Bian cleaned up Cao Pi, she went to Cao Zhen's room to help tidy up. Cao Pi knew that his mother was very kind, and she wanted to make up for the maternal love that Cao Zhen lacked when his parents died when he was young. And Cao Zhen really needs the care of his family.

Cao Pi had seen Cao Zhen secretly feeling sad more than once while holding the wooden sword made by his late mother.

At noon, at Cao Ang's instigation, Cao Pi and his brothers came to the front of the mansion to greet the guests, but Cao Cao had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time.

"Uncle." A brave young man wearing a crown said hello to Cao Cao. The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was eight feet tall. He looked about five or six years older than Cao Ang. He should have been at the age where he had just been crowned.

"Wen Lie is here." Cao Cao happily took the young man's hand and said to the brothers behind him, "This is your brother Wen Lie. Wen Lie is the leader of the younger generation of our Cao family. After you brothers

You should ask Wen Lie more for advice."

The brothers quickly said yes. After Cao Ang and the young man introduced each other, Cao Pi learned that the young man in front of him was Cao Xiu. Cao Pi was no stranger to Cao Xiu's deeds. Cao Pi had long heard that Cao Xiu had lost his father in his early years and took his mother to cross the border when he was thirteen.

Jiang went to Yangzhou to seek refuge. When he saw the portrait of his grandfather Cao Ding in the hall of the prefect of Wu County, he knelt down and kowtowed with tears. The story of benevolence and filial piety became a favorite story for a while.

Later, Cao Pi met his grandfather Cao Song and uncle Cao De; Xiahou Dun and his son, who had met in Cao Song's house; Cao Chun and Cao Zi, who were slightly older than Cao Xiu and were obviously military generals but mature and quite scholarly;

; and Cao Hong and Cao Zilian, who had a loud voice and a fierce look. However, Xia Houyuan, whom Cao Pi wanted to see his true appearance, did not arrive. He must be stationed in the military camp.

Cao Hong gave some valuable jewelry to Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian, and brought a unique gift to each child of Cao's family. Cao Hong also invited a group of people in kabuki costumes to come to the banquet to add to the fun.

The arrogant and tyrannical attitude.

Cao Pi really couldn't understand that Cao Hong and Cao Pi in history would have conflicts over borrowing money. Cao Pi also retaliated against Cao Hong after he became emperor. Now it seems that Cao Hong does not look like a stingy person.

After the banquet started, Cao Song sat at the main seat, and Cao Cao sat at the second seat. The young Cao Zhang was arranged by Cao Cao's side, and the other Xia princes Cao sat down in turn. The housewife Ding also appeared at the banquet, and Cao Pi

His mother, Bian, was of relatively low status and was not qualified to attend the banquet.

While everyone was dining, the kabuki performance brought by Cao Hong began, with the piano and the piano playing in harmony, and the long sleeves flying. It was the first time for Cao Pi to watch an art performance of this era. After watching it for a long time, he found that he really couldn't appreciate this kind of performance, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Do you lack artistic skills?

The older people toasted each other during the dinner. Cao Ang wanted to try something new, but when he raised his glass, Cao De glared at him, so he had to stop talking, causing everyone in the hall to laugh.

Cao Yun was playing with the young Cao Zhang in the hall. Cao Pi saw Xia Houmao next to him looking in the direction of Cao Yun and Cao Zhang as if he was lost in thought. He thought to himself why this guy always looked so wilted.

Cao Zhen, who was on the side, also noticed Xia Houmao's abnormality. He asked with concern: "Zilin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

After hearing Cao Zhen's words, Xia Houmao came back to his senses as if he had been electrocuted, and Cao Zhen was even frightened. Xiahou Dun in the distance saw Xia Houmao being funny again, and after looking around, he found that other people had not noticed Xia Houmao's rude behavior.

I thought that I must take care of this bastard when I go back. I have been away from home for too long and have neglected to discipline Xia Houmao.

"No problem, no problem." Xia Houzhen waved his hand to Cao Zhen and said in a low voice, "I just remembered the story about the Yue King Gou Jian told by Uncle Wen Chao, and I had some thoughts in my heart."

After hearing this, Cao Zhen thought to himself, it turns out that apart from brothers Zi Huan and Zizhao, Zi Lin is also a studious and inquiring person. On weekdays, Zi Lin always seems to have a lack of energy. As expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance, and he must work hard.<

/p>

Cao Pi naturally didn't believe what Xia Houmao said. Cao Pi followed Xia Houmao's gaze and looked at Cao Yun in the distance, and suddenly he had a strong premonition in his heart.

The banquet continued. Cao Cao ordered his servants to bring the copper pot and bamboo arrows used to throw the pot. After three concessions according to the etiquette, he competed with the princes of Xia, Cao, with a limit of four arrows. Those who did not throw the pot used bamboo pieces to count.

.

Although Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun were not good at this, they could still hit the target occasionally. Cao De and Cao Chun were superb in their skills and basically hit nine out of ten shots. Cao Chun even performed the unique skill of sitting on his back and reverse throwing, which attracted many exclamations from the audience.

There are endless exclamations.

Cao Xiu and Cao Hong were not as skilled. Cao Xiu, after holding his breath and concentrating, seriously cast the "three no-sticks" four times in a row, which made Cao Hong laugh. Cao Xiu blushed and said, "Uncle Zilian, don't you?"

If you want to laugh at me, come and throw in a few."

Cao Hong rolled up his sleeves and stretched his muscles, showing that he was confident. Cao Hong took a bamboo arrow, pinched the middle end of the bamboo arrow with three fingers, and used his forearm to throw the bamboo arrow. The bamboo arrow flew over the copper pot.

It fell far away from the copper kettle.

"Uncle Zilian, look carefully, the spout of the pot is not outside the door." Cao Xiu, who was standing behind Cao Hong, joked after seeing Cao Hong's wonderful performance. Everyone laughed after hearing Cao Xiu's joke.

Cao Hong was angry, so he picked up the second bamboo arrow, took careful aim, and then used his strength to throw the bamboo arrow. This time, the bamboo arrow lost its strength and did not even reach a distance of one foot.

"It's better to vote for Zihuan or Zidan instead." Xiahou Dun, who had always been stable, couldn't help but mock Cao Hong after seeing Cao Hong's embarrassment.

"My hand has slipped, my hand has slipped, I will definitely hit the target this time." Cao Hong's face was slightly hot, and he weakly defended himself to everyone while picking up the third bamboo arrow.

Cao Hong took a deep breath, stared at the copper pot, and slowly threw the bamboo arrow in his hand. Cao Hong didn't expect that he could actually make his prediction come true. The bamboo arrow thrown this time slid into the air at a very high arc.

And in the shocked eyes of everyone, he put his hollow into the pot, and the arrow made a crisp sound after hitting the bottom of the pot.

"Wen Lie still needs to practice more." Cao Hong didn't expect that he was so lucky. He made a mistake because of a slip but hit it accurately. Cao Hong patted Cao Xiu on the shoulder and laughed, "Uncle, I will let you go first this time."

Zhizhuya, we will compete again when you have achieved your skills."

Cao Xiu felt helpless about Cao Hong's bad luck. Looking at Cao Hong's triumphant look, he could only shake his head secretly. All the juniors in the hall were also encouraged by Cao Song and were eager to try. Except for Cao Shuo, who was lucky enough to hit one, none of the others made a hit.

, Xiahou Dun accidentally threw the bamboo arrow into Cao Hong's soup, which made Xiahou Dun cursed on the spot.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!" Cao Zhang shouted excitedly from outside the courtyard to the hall. The attention of everyone in the hall was attracted by the falling snowflakes from the sky. Everyone came to the courtyard to enjoy the snow and immersed themselves in the auspicious snow sign.

In the peaceful atmosphere of a good year.

Cao Pi looked at the falling snowflakes, but he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. When the banquet was over, Cao Cao was going to Yangzhou to recruit troops. What followed was endless wars between the princes. He didn't know that he could still be with Cao Cao.
