In May, the sky is cloudless, and the blazing sun above everyone's heads is spreading the scorching heat of summer to the entire earth.
Although the weather is hot, the Zhendong General's Mansion is very lively today.
Today is the thirty-fifth birthday of Zhendong General Gao Shun.
As the chief general of the Cao family, many people came to celebrate Gao Shun's birthday. Even though Gao Shun himself wanted to keep everything simple, even if it was to entertain guests, he still had to hold a large birthday banquet in the end.
Those gathered today at General Zhendong’s Mansion were all prominent figures in Xuchang City, including Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other Cao Ying generals, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and other Cao soldiers.
Almost all of the battalion's heavyweight counselors were present. If you randomly pick one of these people, they are all famous characters in the world.
In addition to a large number of civil and military personnel in Cao's camp, even Duke Cao Cao of Wei personally visited the house to congratulate him.
Gao Shun accepted the congratulations from everyone with a smile on his face and returned the congratulations one by one.
While Gao Shun was happy, he also sighed in his heart. It has been seventeen years since he traveled to this era. Before he traveled, he only lived for eighteen years in another time and space. The years are like
Shuo, in the blink of an eye, the time he lived in the late Han Dynasty has almost caught up with his previous life.
In seventeen years, I have grown from a young boy to a brave yet calm mature man. Although I have long since integrated into this era, I occasionally recall my life, relatives, and friends in another time and space.
Gao Shun still can't help but sigh, even though those memories have gradually faded.
"Chang Gong, what are you thinking about again? Come! You and I will have three more drinks!" While Gao Shun was lost in thought, Dian Wei's shout brought Gao Shun back to reality.
Dian Wei, the first friend he made after traveling through time, was also his adopted brother.
"Do it!" Faced with Dian Wei's invitation, Gao Shun didn't show any stage fright and drank all the wine in his glass. He may have made many friends in this era, but the one with the deepest friendship among them was definitely Dian Wei.
undoubtedly.
Gao Shun's drinking capacity is extremely famous in the entire Cao Ying. Needless to say, the alcohol content in this era is low. When Gao Shun first crossed over, drinking more than a dozen bowls of wine in a row was not a problem. Now he drinks more than a dozen
As he grew older, he drank wine as if it were water.
Everyone knew that Gao Shun had a large amount of wine, so they all came boldly to persuade him to drink. Gao Shun also refused everyone who came, and drank the wine in the cup one by one.
"Dad, this water tastes terrible!" While everyone was drinking, a sulking voice sounded, but with a hint of resentment.
"Isn't this my Xiao Qian'er! Xiao Qian'er, be good, this is not water, children can't drink it randomly." It turned out to be Gao Shun's eldest daughter Gao Qian who spoke out. She was only nine years old this year. Xiao Gao Qian took advantage of the opportunity
Everyone didn't pay attention and secretly took a bowl of wine and drank it. But how could a nine-year-old girl drink the wine? She choked immediately and her little face turned red.
However, little Gao Qian, who blushed and complained to Gao Shun, looked much cuter than usual. Everyone sighed in their hearts: "What a beautiful girl, how will she grow up in the future?"
When she grows up, she will definitely be a great beauty again."
Even Gao Shun himself could not help but be attracted by the cuteness of his daughter, and kept feeling proud in his heart: "As expected of my daughter, she looks so pretty!"
"Gao Changgong gave birth to a good daughter!" While everyone was sighing at Gao Qian's cuteness, Cao Cao suddenly said: "I just don't know if such a cute girl has been married to someone else?"
"Ah, not yet." Hearing this, Gao Shun answered subconsciously. But after answering, Gao Shun was stunned and didn't know what Cao Cao meant by asking this.
It seems that Cao Cao has always had the habit of nibbling young grass. Is it possible that he has fallen in love with his daughter? No, although Cao Cao is lustful, he will not be such a beast.
What's more, although Gao Qian was born to Guo Cui, she still calls Cao Ming mother, and she can be regarded as Cao Cao's niece.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Gao Qian is the apple of Gao Shun's eye, so whenever Gao Qian is involved, Gao Shun will inevitably think more.
Just when Gao Shun was thinking wildly because of Cao Cao's words, Cao Cao spoke again: "Chang Gong, do you think my Chong'er is worthy of your Qian'er?"
Uh, Chong'er, does it mean Cao Chong?
Gao Shun shook his drunken head, thinking that Cao Cao must be talking about Cao Chong. If Chong'er wasn't Cao Chong, could he still be Linghu Chong?
It turned out that Lao Cao was proposing for his son, and Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Chong is the youngest son of Cao Cao. He is young and wise, and is deeply loved by Cao Cao. He is also about the same age as Gao Qian, so he seems to be a good candidate for his son-in-law.
But the biggest problem is that this baby died young and will probably die in two or three years.
Although the engagement is made now, it is absolutely impossible to get married within two or three years. As long as your daughter has not actually married, you don't have to worry about the possibility of becoming a widow for Cao Chong. But the problem is that people nowadays are very superstitious.
Once Gao Qian and Cao Chong got engaged, and then Cao Chong passed away not long after, someone might say that their daughter had a bad fate, which would greatly slander Gao Qian's reputation and even affect her future life.
But how should I reject Lao Cao? I wouldn't say something like "Your son will die in a few years, so don't delay my daughter."
If you say that, Lao Cao will definitely punish himself to death.
