[Thanks to the book friend "≮Yun Tianqing≯" for the reward!] After Bian met Mrs. Ding, he held a box of jewelry given by Ding and followed Aunt Li to the small courtyard that was distributed to her. Seeing that the yard was clean and the furniture was relatively complete, Bian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A few maids who came from Jinan quickly picked up the broom and started cleaning. Aunt Li smiled and said to Bian: "Originally, my wife wanted to arrange a few maids for you, but she felt that outsiders were not caring, so she didn't arrange them. Now seeing that the maids around you are sensible, we finally felt relieved. Mrs. Ru sent a maid to my place tomorrow and handed me the list of these maids. The mansion will issue monthly rules regularly every month, and everyone has a share. It's so that Mrs. Ru knows that your monthly rules are the same as Mrs. Zixiu, and you have five stakes per month! If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first!"

Although Aunt Li called out like Mrs. Bian very awkwardly, Bian still smiled and said, "I'm grateful for my goodness, thank you for your care! Rulan, please send me the aunt for me!"

Ru Lan is the most useful maid around Bian. When she heard Bian's order, she agreed and helped Aunt Li and walked out. While walking, a small gold ingot slid out of Ru Lan's sleeve and slipped into Aunt Li's sleeve.

Aunt Li gently weighed the gold ingot, smiled and bowed to Bian, and walked out happily. When she walked away, Bian Bing asked happily: "Sister, open the jewelry box quickly and see if there are any treasures in Ding's family?"

Women all love beauty, and Bian is no exception. With Bian Bing's support, she entered the lobby. When she opened the jewelry box, she felt that the golden light was shining in front of her. After a closer look, there were many gold-made head jewelry, and many brass-made earrings and hairpins.

Bian Bing pointed to the phoenix-headed hairpin made of gold and said repeatedly: "Sister, choose this one! Even if you get this hairpin in Jinan Mansion, it will be worth fifty taels! I didn't expect that Ding's family is really rich, and he is willing to buy such a precious hairpin!"

Mrs. Bian raised the phoenix-headed hairpin and was also amazed. She didn't know that this was what Cao Ang bought to be filial to Ding, but she could guess that this was Ding's beloved thing.

Bian chose the box and finally selected three accessories, all of which were of medium grade. Although the materials were all gold, the styles were created relatively old and had little special features.

After the selection, Bian immediately ordered someone to return the box to Ding. Bian Bing watched the phoenix-headed hairpin by Bian back to the box cover. He slapped the case with regret and asked in a low voice: "Sister, why are you stupid?"

But Bian sighed softly, looked around, and saw that they were all her confidants, and said to Bian Bing in a low voice: "Brother, this is clearly a test for Ding. If I choose the best one, it means I am greedy and intend to steal the position of the official wife. Ding naturally has to be more careful about me; if I choose the worst one, it means I am more hypocritical and Ding will not really communicate with me. Now if I choose these three medium-grade ones, Ding will also understand my intentions, knowing that I am not like stealing the position of the official wife, nor will she flatter her, but will do myself in a proper way. Brother, learn more!"

As Bian expected, Ding quickly knew Bian's choice after taking back the box, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said to Aunt Li, "It seems that Bian is also a tactful person, so this is the best!"

Aunt Li shook her head and whispered: "Madam, you are always too kind. You should have sent someone to kill such a fox! Now that she is pregnant, she may compete with you for favor in the future. I just called out like Mrs., trying to try her best. Unexpectedly, this person was silent and very cunning! Moreover, her maid was too generous to take action, and she actually gave me a gold ingot!"

Ding smiled tolerantly and whispered: "I am very cautious when I first arrived. I will naturally be cautious. Giving you a great gift is just to be at ease. Even if she is very cunning, even if she has a son by her in the future and Ang'er by her side, I am not afraid! Now the patriarch and husband have reached a consensus to adopt Ang'er to me. What's the fear of having such an outstanding legitimate son and grandson as a backing? Just like the story Ang'er told me, especially when she is an jealous woman, it's better to be a wise and dignified wife!"

Aunt Li realized that no wonder Ding reacted plainly to the arrival of Bian. So that's it.

Ding and Aunt Li slept very peacefully tonight, but Cao Ang was nervous and couldn't sleep. For no other reason, Cao Cao was here!

As a modern man whose soul travels to ancient times, Cao Ang was able to face Ding and Cao Song calmly, but when he remembered that he had to face Cao Cao, he always felt a little uneasy. Even if Liao Hua swore allegiance to him, it did not relieve Cao Ang's nervousness.

Cao Ren saw his nervousness and secretly called him outside the lobby of the village and whispered: "Zi Xiu, although my uncle was very strict with you in the past, it was because you knew that you were not good at studying. Now that you are both civil and military, and you can still join the army, your uncle will definitely be very satisfied with you, so why should you be demanding?! My uncle and you haven't seen each other for several years, and it's too late to care for you, so you won't be demanding on you, so why should you be nervous!"

After listening to Cao Ren's persuasion, Cao Ang felt relieved: Yes, his nominal father has rarely met him since he became an official. Perhaps he can't even remember his appearance, so he doesn't have to worry about the misunderstanding.

He felt hungry, but he hadn't eaten for most of the day and rushed into the hall and started to grab the meal. The speed of eating made Liao Hua, who had been hungry for several days, envious. Then Liao Hua whispered to Cao Duan, who was holding the spoon of food, and said, "Just one spoonful of fat pork, one spoonful of fat pork! When I send the monthly bill, I'll invite you to a restaurant for a good meal!"

Cao Duan shook his head firmly, shook his head, and then shook his head loudly, "Young Master said, you have been hungry for several days, so you can't eat too greasy food for the time being. You can drink some rice porridge first in the first three days!"

The poor Liao Hua held the small bowl of rice porridge and watched the soldiers who made great contributions eat fat pork, tears fell down.

The next morning, Cao Ang entrusted the full defense of Heifeng Village to Cao Ren, and he took Liao Hua, Cao Duan and other ten guards to rush to the Cao family.

At noon, he rushed to the front of the Cao Mansion and caught the good time to have lunch. Cao Ang ran to his grandfather Cao Song and happened to meet his father Cao Cao who was also chatting there.

Cao Ang hurriedly saluted and said loudly: "Aner has met his grandfather and his father!"

It’s okay for Cao Song, but Cao Cao stood up excitedly. He hadn’t seen his son for several years and found that he had changed a lot! Although Cao Ang is only ten years old now, he is no longer as immature as a child in his eyes, and he is so heroic!

Cao Cao laughed: "Father, look, I used to say Ang'er is like me, and you still say he is like Liu. Now that he has grown up, he is exactly the same as when I was a child!"

Cao Song couldn't help laughing, but Cao Cao smiled and said, "Ang'er, come here and let my father take a good look at you!"

When Cao Ang came over, Cao Cao hugged him and lifted him up hard. Cao Ang felt itchy armpits and couldn't help laughing. Cao Cao said loudly: "This is my son, my son of Cao Cao! He rode alone to retreat to the enemy, create salt, make far-sighted, and join the army to fight! Only Cao Cao can give birth to such a heroic son!"

Cao Song laughed out loud: "Meng De, are you kwai Aner, or are you praising yourself?! Put down Aner, let's have a meal! He rode a horse from Heifeng Village here, and he was already very tired. Let's take a rest!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and let go of Cao Ang, and asked with a smile: "Zi Xiu, have you ever thought about me?"

Cao Ang’s previous embarrassment had been dissipated by the continuous laughter. He squeezed his eyes mischievously and said with a smile: “I don’t want to! Mother talks about you every day. Even if I miss you, I am annoyed by her talk about you!”

Cao Cao was silent, Cao Song laughed, "Good grandson, do you miss your grandfather?"

"I think!" Cao Ang said loudly: "A few days ago, my grandson attacked Heifeng Village with snow, and his nose was so cold that he was snot. What I thought of the most was my grandfather. If my grandfather was there, my grandson would not have to think of any sneak attack on the snow night, and could directly flatten the Heifeng Village with a dignified formation!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Song laughed loudly, waved to Cao Ang over, took out a string of jade bracelet from his arms, and put it on Cao Ang's wrist. He looked at Cao Ang with a smile, and then looked at Cao Cao like a demonstration, laughing.

Cao Cao couldn't help but touch his nose, took off a jade pendant from his waist, and called Cao Ang with a bitter face, tied it to him, and whispered: "This is a treasure seized for his father when he was conquering the Yellow Turban Thieves. He has always been reluctant to give it to others. I will give it to you today, a bastard. Do you miss me now?"

Cao Ang touched the jade pendant, and before he could appreciate it, he was held in his arms by Cao Cao. He heard Cao Cao whisper: "Ang'er, father, I miss you so much!"

After being stalked by Cao Cao's hard beard and lying in his broad arms, Cao Ang finally relaxed his spirits. The scenes of the past were as if they had happened yesterday, vividly remembering. Whether it was practicing martial arts at night or practicing horsemanship; whether it was studying hard or practicing writing; whether it was sweat or tears that he left at that time, now it was finally over, and he was finally lying in the safest place in the world. Cao Ang suddenly felt his nose sore uncontrollably, and tears flowed down. He choked and said, "Father, I miss you! I miss you!!!"

Touching the calluses from the sword and gun on Cao Ang's palm, feeling the cracked frostbite on his hands, and looking at the fatigue and attachment in his eyes, Cao Cao put his forehead close to Cao Ang and pressed hard against Cao Ang. Although Cao Cao never admitted it later, Cao Ang saw a drop of crystal tears sliding from the corner of Cao Cao's eyes...
