Here, Cao Cao's mood became extremely complicated.
Cai Zhaoji told the truth. "Fifteen years ago, my father and I happened to pass through Dunqiu County in Puyang. It happened that the officers and soldiers had just put down the local Yellow Turban rebellion. The entire Dunqiu County was desolate and mourning was everywhere."
"It was at that time that my father and I found a half-year-old child in a bamboo basket. There was a deceased woman beside her. She was still protecting the bamboo basket with her hands. She must have been the child's mother.
"
"The child kept crying and was so pitiful that I persuaded my father to take him in and bring him home to raise him. There was a green jade pendant in the bamboo basket. In addition, there was a wooden sign.
The wooden sign has his birthday and horoscope written on it. In addition, there is also his name - Lu Yu!"
When talking about this, Cai Zhaoji raised her eyes and looked at Cao Cao...
At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were wide and wide, and his mouth was open inexplicably. His whole appearance looked extremely uncivilized.
A green jade pendant, a wooden sign with birth date written on it, Lu Yu...Yu...Yu!
"Where is the jade pendant? Where is the wooden sign?" Cao Cao's tone became anxious, with infinite panic and urgency!
Even though he had been on the battlefield and his life was hanging by a thread, Cao Cao had never been so panicked.
Cai Zhaoji didn't know why, so she immediately asked, "How can brother care so much about this?"
Can you not care?
Cao Cao clearly remembered that fifteen years ago, after he learned that the daughter of the Lu family had given birth to a son, he once said that he hoped that the child would be like an eagle, with "feathers" and sharp wings, soaring around the world...
Fifteen years ago, he even personally engraved the child's birthday on the wooden sign... Before leaving, he also left the mother and son a jade pendant engraved with the word "auspicious".
All of this is very consistent with the past events mentioned by Cai Zhaoji.
In other words, as long as Cao Cao sees the jade pendant and the wooden sign with his own eyes, he can tell that Lu Yu...may be the son he has been searching for for fifteen years!
call…
Cao Cao took a long breath and suppressed his excitement.
"I'm just curious about this jade pendant and wooden sign. Sister Xian also knows that I once served as a county magistrate in Dunqiu County, Puyang. Maybe... I can find relatives for Lu Yu!"
Although he deliberately suppressed the emotions in his heart, Cao Cao paused three times in the middle of a sentence, which was completely different from his usual bold and uninhibited tone.
Cai Zhaoji didn't care, "Brother Lu Yu carries these jade pendants and wooden plaques with him. My brother has done the Dunqiu Order. Maybe... they can really help brother Lu Yu find his relatives."
Relatives, Cao Cao thought to himself, where could he just find his relatives? This was helping him find his long-lost father!
The throbbing in Cao Cao's heart could no longer be suppressed and was about to come out.
Cai Zhaoji suddenly thought of something. "I forgot to tell my brother. It would be fine if my brother found other relatives for him, but it must not be brother Lu Yu's father. Brother Lu Yu hates...this father."
I’m gnashing my teeth!”
Uh...this...
Cao Cao was startled, and suddenly he felt a little confused...
"This is for..."
He originally wanted to ask why, but when he thought about it, he understood immediately.
Regardless of the reasons, it is always wrong to abandon your wife and children, even if this "abandonment" is "protection" in another sense.
Except for Cao Cao, no one would know that the Cao family was implicated in the "Song Empress Case" and could not protect themselves. How could they dare to implicate the mother and son?
Cao Cao had no choice but to leave them temporarily and wait for the situation to calm down before taking them back to the Cao Mansion!
But, as luck would have it, the "Queen of Song Dynasty" case subsided and the Yellow Turban Uprising happened, causing chaos in the world.
Cao Cao wanted to take back the mother and son, but... in the end he was unable to do anything.
No one knows Cao Cao's difficulties in this matter. Perhaps in the minds of the mother and son, Cao Cao has long been a heartless person, right?
How can we blame this...Lu Yu is full of hostility towards his father!
"this…"
Cao Cao felt guilty. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
That’s all, let’s not worry about that much for now.
He immediately had to verify the wooden sign and the jade pendant... In addition, Cao Cao clearly remembered that his and the Lu family's daughter's son had an obvious birthmark!
As long as this birthmark remains, then...there is no doubt that Lu Yu is Cao Cao's eldest son.
…
"Brother, I've been waiting for this for an hour, why don't I go call out brother Lu Yu!"
It was autumn and winter, and the cold wind was biting in the courtyard outside the study door. Cao Cao put his cloak on Cai Zhaoji again. It was visible to the naked eye that his whole body was trembling.
What Cai Zhaoji didn't know was that this was not because Cao Cao was cold at all, but because he was extremely hot, guilty, and excited.
"No need to tell him, just let me wait here! Wait a little longer!"
It seemed that the longer he stayed in the cold courtyard, the more it dissipated Cao Cao's inner guilt for the mother and son, making him feel better.
at this time.
With a creaking sound, the study door opened, and a handsome young man slowly walked out, tapping his forehead gently.
He is not tall but he is very energetic. His body is not strong, but he is like Cao Cao, exuding a heroic spirit from the inside out!
Who else could this young man be but Lu Yu?
Even after walking out of the study, Lu Yuyou was combing through the ancient books and documents he had written down today with his eyebrows furrowed.
Didn't notice Cao Cao and Cai Zhaoji at all...
This is a state of selflessness, as if he needs to repeatedly open the door to the memory palace in his mind and instill the vast knowledge and knowledge into it, sorting out each item clearly.
Seeing his appearance, Cao Cao and Cai Zhaoji both made a tacit agreement to remain silent and not to disturb him.
However, Cao Cao's eyes were fixed on Lu Yu's cheek...
The eyes, nose, ears, and even chin are all very similar to the woman who fascinated Cao Cao fifteen years ago. She is just as handsome as her. She is almost carved from the same mold.
If originally, Cao Cao was only half sure of Lu Yu's life experience, now, Cao Cao is almost sure that this child is his long-lost eldest son!
Lu Yu? Where is Lu Yu?
Clearly, clearly it’s Cao Yu!
…
Huh…
The door to the Memory Palace was closed, and Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes.
Only then did he realize that in front of the study door, besides his sister Cai Zhaoji, there was also a middle-aged man who was not handsome, looking at him dreamily...
From head to toe, from top to bottom, it seemed that he paid special attention to every part of his body.
Darling, sister Zhao Ji, this beautiful woman, didn’t even look at him in front of her. Instead, her eyes kept staring at him, Lu Yu?
What's more, his eyes are very weird, you can say they are bizarre, but there are also brilliant crystal lights bursting out from them, just like a lion that has been hungry for a long time and sees food!
...Lu Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition!
Could this guy be a pervert? Is he greedy for his body?
Uh...I, Lu Yu, am male and like women. My orientation is very, very, very normal!
