Luoyang, No. 9, Jinwu Lane, Cao Mansion.

"Young Master, the third son of Lord Cai Ling Zhen Yi, and the great merchant Zhen Yao from Jizhou, is here..." Early in the morning, Acai ran to Cao Shuo's living room, although he didn't know what the young master had planned.

...But as a loyal servant, the master must obey the instructions... What's more, it is the young master Cao Shu who has been favored by the master Cao Song recently.

"So fast?" Cao Shuo hurriedly put on his clothes... "Thank you, Grandpa Acai." As he said that, he ran out quickly.

Under the guidance of the servant, when he arrived at the Dezheng Hall, he saw a thin man standing with his hands behind his back, as if he was a little nervous and cramped when he stood in the mansion of the "Dashi Yuan".

"This is what I mentioned to you, the young master of the Cao Mansion and the young master Cao Shuo." A Cai introduced it first.

When Zhen Yao saw Cao Shu, he was stunned... This one... a child?

This... for a moment, Zhen Yao was a little surprised!

Previously, Acai found him... said that the young master of the Cao family wanted to see him! Zhen Yao's first reaction... The young master of the Cao family was Cao Cao.

Speaking of which... Cao Cao has caused no one hundred disasters over the years, but eighty.

The old man Cao Song begged his grandfather and sued his grandmother, and he always needed to give gifts, and the money was tacky... So he found Zhen Yao, who was in charge of the business in Kyoto, and asked him to help buy some valuable items... Cao Song could give it to someone and plead for Cao Cao... In addition, Zhen Yao was a generation younger than Cao Cao. When Cao Cao was short of money, he always asked Zhen Yao to borrow money. After a while, the Zhen family could have some friendship with the Cao family.

But this friendship is more about money and goods exchanges, and it is not very deep. Cao's mansion? A six or seven-year-old baby? Why are you looking for him? Could it be...what should I buy something?

Although I thought so, after a brief surprise, Zhen Yao took the initiative to salute. "Zhen Yao has met Mr. Cao Shu!"

In the Han Dynasty, the status of merchants is very low... It is normal to salute everyone... Even the third son of Shangcai Lingzhen Yi dare not overcome this rule.

Cao Shuo responded with respect. "Cao Shuo has met Brother Zhen Yao..."

Well...are such a polite little guy?

Zhen Yao was stunned... He was in business and had many contacts with many people, and he had seen many children from high-ranking families. Most of them were willful, unruly, and did not care about etiquette, and even looked down on them, the lower-class merchants... Today, Cao Shu, the young son of the Cao family, is different from others... At least, it is much more popular than his father who always looks like he needs protection fees.

For a moment, Zhen Yao felt a little favor towards Cao Shu...

"I wonder if my little boy? What's going on with me, Zhen Yao?" Zhen Yao asked on his own initiative.

"Brother Zhen Yao, I want to buy the Hu people's utensils." Cao Shuo made it straight to the point.

"Well? Hu people's utensils?" Zhen Yao smiled. "If you buy Hu people's utensils... you can go to the western market, and there are a large number of Hu people selling them... You can choose any of your choices!"

"No, no, no..." Cao Shu waved his hand. "I want to buy all the Hu people's utensils in the entire Luoyang City... including clothes, decorations, furniture... In short, I want all aspects."

Uh...all the Hu people's tools?

Zhen Yao was shocked... It's not that he felt that the Cao family's financial resources were not enough...

But he felt it was unnecessary... First, the Hu people's equipment was not popular because of the war on the Han-Hu border, and no one even paid attention to it; second, the one who threatened to buy all the Hu people's equipment in Luoyang... was a six or seven-year-old child? This... always felt like there was a bit of a playful smell?

"Young Master, although this... Hu people's tools are not expensive, they are definitely quite large. Together, they are quite a lot of money." Zhen Yao quickly explained. "It's roughly estimated that it will cost millions of dollars. Can the young master take out so much money?"

Well... I forgot about this.

Cao Shu's eyes rolled, and he didn't know how much money Cao Ang... stole? I think that if Mrs. Ding hides only gold, silver and jewelry in her secret silhouette, then she will definitely not have enough. If she could hide some land deeds, it would be another situation.

Oh... I threatened to buy all the Hu people's artifacts, but now it seems that it is a bit of a fantasy.

Huh... Cao Shu breathed out and suddenly felt a feeling of distraction...

"Let's do this, Brother Zhen Yao... I'll take a look tomorrow to see how many coins I can take out... and then entrust my brother to help with the purchase? Is this good?" Cao Shu proposed a compromise method.

"Haha... it's good." Zhen Yao nodded... For a moment, he even wondered... Is this young master of the Cao family getting some news? That's why he hoarded...

But it was only for a moment!

No! It must not! Zhen Yao immediately denied that idea.

The Xianbei raids the border every winter... In addition, the entire Han people were full of hatred towards the Hu people. It would be nice to allow them to do business here. The Hu people's equipment...who would be rare?

Not to mention that you can't hoard goods... If you really want to hoard, it will be unsuccessful... You will be hated by the Han people and cause trouble... What's more, it's unknown if you're beaten up.

Therefore, no Han merchant dared to raise the price of Hu people's equipment... The price of Hu people's equipment will definitely not surge unless the sun comes out from the west.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yao laughed dryly. "Then... Zhen Yao will say goodbye. Tomorrow... I will visit Cao's mansion again. At that time... the little marquis has calculated the coins and I will go and buy them."

"Come..." Cao Shu nodded... and did not stop. After asking Acai to send Zhen Yao away, he ran to find Cao Ang.

He really wanted to know...Cao Ang's side? Has he succeeded?

...

...

Cao Mansion, Mrs. Ding’s pavilion, a Buddhist temple.

The sound of the wooden fish hitting vaguely, the red lips twitched, and the dense scriptures chanted one by one.

Ding Hui is worshiping Buddha...

In this era, White Horse Temple was established for only more than a hundred years. Compared with Taoism, Buddhism is not popular...

However, the Ding clan has a unique feeling for "Buddha"... Cao Cao's biological mother Ding Pei also likes worshiping Buddha very much, and Ding Hui inherited this inheritance of her aunt.

At this moment... the empty Buddhist temple, the faint sound seemed to...it could dissipate the cumbersome and sorrow in her heart... Only in this space can her hatred with Liu Chun's man and ghost different paths be diluted.

"Madam...Madam..."

Suddenly, the noise of a maid broke the tranquility. "No, no... Master Cao Ang...he...he..."

It seemed that because of being disturbed, Ding Hui frowned slightly. When she heard that it was Cao Ang, she slowly stood up, stretched out her index finger and made a "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

After saying that, he gently stepped out of the Buddhist temple...

...

When Ding Hui opened the secret lattice in her living room, half of the gold, silver, jewelry and jewelry were missing. The maid next to her was sobbing and she was a little in tears.

"It was Mr. Cao Ang, all of whom were made by Mr. Cao Ang... He sneaked into his wife's bedroom... It was him... it was him who stole these treasures." The maid was Ding Hui's confidant... She also inadvertently noticed that Cao Ang tiptoed out of his wife's bedroom, and felt something was wrong... Then she went to check it.

It would be fine if I didn't check it, but after checking it, I found that there were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and jewelry in the dark grid. What's so great? There was a thief in the Cao family, but the thief was actually the eldest young master Cao Ang...

The maid didn't dare to expose the eldest master directly, so she hurriedly informed Ding Hui...

"This..." Ding Hui's expression was quite calm. She touched the remaining jewelry in the dark pavilion... and said just now: "There are so many gold, silver and jewelry in this dark square? Not to mention half, even 20%, the eldest son may not be able to take it away at once! Is it really he made?"

Ding Hui's tone was gentle, and while raising questions... her eyes were flowing rapidly... as if she was thinking about something.

"Madam." The maid explained hurriedly. "I have checked it. Since yesterday, the eldest young master... has been secretly here three times. I think... he took it away in batches!"

Well... in batches?

Ding Hui's eyes narrowed into a slit. She raised Cao Ang since she was a child. What kind of temperament did she portray Cao Ang into? She knew the most.

Be kind, filial, kind, innocent...even, stupid!

How could he be arbitrarily proclaiming... to steal the property in the secret? It must be...instructed by someone else?

But? In this Cao Mansion, who can instruct the eldest young master Cao Ang?

Thinking of this, Ding Hui fell into deep thought...

Wait... It seems that there is really one person! A little guy Cao Ang admires...

Ding Hui recalled that when Cao Ang came to pay her respects a few days ago, he praised his younger brother Cao Shuo... Could it be that this was all instructed by his younger brother Cao Shuo? Then... Why did Cao Shu want so much money?

Thinking of this, Ding Hui hurriedly asked. "Who did Mr. Cao Shu see today? What did you discuss?"

This sudden question made the confidant maid stunned, and then thought carefully...

"Oh..." As if I suddenly remembered, the maid opened her mouth wide and almost screamed. "Today, Young Master Cao Shuo met a big merchant... and said that he wanted to buy the Hu artifacts from the entire Luoyang City... The entire Cao Mansion was spreading, and everyone was still wondering? Where did the young master get the money to buy it?"

Speaking of this, the maid seemed to suddenly realize... "Is it possible... Is it possible that the young master wants to... use these treasures of his wife, gold and silver?"

After blurting out these words, the maid seemed to be frightened by her own words, hurriedly covered her chest and leaned against the wall.

Well... Ding Hui was thinking.

Stealing money? Just to buy? Hu people's artifacts? Ding Hui's eyes narrowed into a slit...

Suddenly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Today... don't tell others what you say to me, do you understand? You include, you just pretend that Mr. Cao Ang came here before." Ding Hui ordered the maid...

"Look...I understand." Although I don't know why, the maid still nodded repeatedly...

"And," Ding Hui continued to instruct: "Put all the valuable jewelry in the Cao Mansion treasury, especially the land deeds, in the secret compartment, and let Ang'er continue to take it... take it all!"

ah…

At this moment, the maid was stunned. "Madam... these... are the old man who specially left them for you... to let the lady keep them safe."

"Haha!" Ding Hui smiled slightly. "You can do whatever you want, don't ask so many questions!" At this point, Ding Hui's slender jade arms raised slightly, and a trace of cold light like a sharp blade flashed in her eyes.

"Cao Shuo, Cao Shuo, instigating Cao Ang to steal the property of the Cao family is enough to... be extremely disappointed with you, right?"

A sentence muttered in his heart, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of Ding Hui's mouth.
