Chenliu County, Cao Mansion, and Cao Mu came back from the back door with a small wooden box.

During this period, when I traveled between Cao's Mansion and Cai's Mansion, I went out early and returned late, my mother, Mrs. Ding, turned a blind eye.

But after all, it is a girl, so you have to pay attention to some influence. Therefore, Cao Mu slips back from the back door every evening.

Every time she came back, she would bring the bamboo slips that recorded the steel forging process into her bedroom and place them on the ground to classify and summarize them one by one.

The Cao Mansion is very large, even at the back door, there is a pair of stone lions and plaques with golden characters.

Chenliu County is very close to Luoyang and is not very conspicuous. Therefore, this mansion was originally the place where Cao Song, the former Grand Secretary, stored money.

As the Minister of Finance of the Empire, his wealth in his pocket was incalculable, and the house in Chenliu County was also extremely grand.

Cao Mu came back a little early today. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but pursed his mouth and complained to Lu Yu a few words in his heart.

As before, she quickly returned to her Geyu with the small bookcase. Whenever this time, the maid in the Geyu would take off the bookcase for her, then take out the bamboo slips recorded before, and put them all over the floor...

Let the lady summarize and study.

This is not an easy thing. Cao Mu needs to repeatedly calculate based on his daytime memory, every step of molten iron forged steel.

It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Mu has only been in a few days forging, but he has been practical and dedicated. He has summarized a lot of theoretical knowledge.

“Huh?”

Today is a little different. When Cao Mu came back, there was no maid in the courtyard to greet him, and there was not even a guard. Where were they?

Cao Mu's brows froze. Before he could think about it, he saw her sleeping in the middle. Her mother, Mrs. Ding, walked out with a pale face and sat on the stone bench in the yard with a stern face.

Cao Mu was slightly surprised. Her mother's face was quite scary. She quickly saluted. "Mu'er greeted her mother..."

"Why are you back so late..." Mrs. Ding said...

Ah...ah...

Cao Mu was slightly stunned. Didn’t he ask this knowingly? It was her mother who asked her to go and worship Miss Cai Yan as her teacher. Besides, aren’t they all coming back at this time these days?

But... Mrs. Ding's aura was too strong, and Cao Mu dared not argue. "I have studied my homework for a long time today, so I came back a little late."

"Homework? Look at your dirty body. Is this what you are learning? "Mrs. Ding's face froze, and her tone became colder. "Is this forging?"

"Mother...I..." Cao Mu wanted to explain, but there was no explanation. In the past, she mentioned to her mother that she wanted to learn all kinds of crafts and forging like her father when she was young... Why is her mother's face wrong today!

”

"Oh..." But at this moment, Mrs. Ding sighed. She felt that she had all the mechanisms but Mu'er was not doing well.

"Mu'er, you said you are a girl, even if you learn all kinds of crafts, how can you learn how to weave mats, weaving baskets, embroidery, and kitchen? What kind of forging is learned? Now it's so good... all over the place is like a...

A girl from the countryside looks like this...why...?"

Mrs. Ding originally wanted to say how to attract Lu Yu, how could she be with Lu Yu?

But... in the end, this sentence was not said.

"Why did you give birth to such a...this...ah, that's all..."

Mrs. Ding wanted to cry, so he picked up the Juanpa and wiped the tears on the corners of his eyes. "Forget it, Mu'er, from now on, you won't have to go to Cai's Mansion anymore, let alone learn the forging, your father has already

Betroth you to General Xiahou’s eldest son, Xiahou Wei, today I specially sent a messenger to send a message... Let the Xiahou family prepare to hire him, and in the future... you have to calm down!"

Ah...ah...

Cao Mu was shocked, betrothed? His father betrothed her to Xiahou Yan?

this…

It’s not her fault for being surprised, even Mrs. Ding was confused when she heard this news. Indeed, Muer was at the age of marriage. In ancient times, women often got married at the age of twelve, similar to Cao Mu who had not married at the age of fifteen.

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, a huge fine would be imposed!

Of course, the Cao family doesn't care about this little money, but they have to care about the opinions of the world...

I am fifteen and haven't gotten married yet. Is there any health problem?

Are you unable to have children? Are you having an affair with others? These rumors spread very quickly, so people say that words are terrifying!

Of course, it is logical that Xiahou Dun's eldest son Xiahou Wei is not bad, but recently, Lu Yu, the young man who appeared in the sky, has been too shining. He has made contributions and planned again and again, let alone Xiahou Wei, like this.

Men of the same age are beyond the reach of civil and military talents in Yanzhou.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It is the same with choosing a son-in-law. After meeting such an outstanding Lu Yu, doesn’t Xiahou Wei seem ordinary?

"Oh..." Mrs. Ding sighed helplessly.

But... Mu'er is not good at doing well. If she has a better relationship with Lu Yu and is closer, Mrs. Ding would also suggest to her husband Cao Cao and dare to explain to Xiahou Dun, at least to fight for it.

...But now, Mu'er was only tense with Lu Yu a few days ago, and recently he was addicted to this forging technique. Where... there is a little feminine feeling. He is obviously a tomboy, how could Lu Yu... look down on it

Where is her?

Helpless... When I think of this, Mrs. Ding's eyebrows are full of helplessness.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing I can do. Lu Yu... Such a good son-in-law has been lost for nothing. He can only blame his daughter for being unsuccessful and not seizing the opportunity. Now that he wants to marry Xiahou, the Cai family must not be able to go again.

The daughter who is about to get engaged and married will run to another man's mansion every day? What kind of decent thing is this? If this is spread, it may not be guaranteed... rumors that Mu'er is not loving herself and is unclean.

"I won't talk about what happened before. From today on, I will stay at home honestly and never go anywhere." Mrs. Ding covered her eyes with a hint of regret. "I'm good to you, now that I have someone else's heart."

, In the future, you will take good care of your husband and children, and your studies are not important. If you still want to study, read "Female Precepts" and experience the "Three Followings" and the "Four Virtues"! Follow your father at home and become a monk

After entering the Xiahou family, I have many things... I and your father don't care about it. You are very stubborn, so what's wrong with you!"

"Female Rings" was written by Ban Zhao, the sister of the writer Ban Gu. It mainly tells the story of a woman's three obediences and four virtues. This is also the words that every woman will be so kind before getting married...

Of course, although Cao and Xiahou are as close as family, in fact, Mrs. Ding looks down on these martial artists. She is more willing to let her daughter marry a young talent with a literary talent, but...ah... I think of this, it is inevitable that she will be

Regretted by Lu Yu, Mrs. Ding couldn't help but shake her head.

"I won't think too much about it in the future, so don't think too much about it. Remember? I'm not allowed to go to Cai's Mansion from tomorrow..."

In front of Mrs. Ding's powerful aura, Cao Mu lowered his head and said nothing, but she was having a fierce struggle in her heart.

Seeing that his daughter was not speaking, Mrs. Ding raised her tone. "You...you said something!"

Cao Mu then raised his head, "Mom, forgive my daughter for being unable to obey her."

Huh...Madam Ding was shocked when she blurted out this sentence. I remember that this was the first time Mu'er disobeyed her and contradicted her!

Cao Mu's words continued. "Mom, I went to Cai's Mansion for nothing else, I just made a subject for hundreds of craftsmen. Mr. Lu's scolding in the past awakened me."

"The sky sometimes has energy, the earth has beauty, and the workmanship has ingenuity. Only the cooperation between heaven, earth and man can forge weapons that attract the attention of the world. For this reason... I specially devoted myself to these crafts and peeked at these 1000 craftsmen to explore these 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The way to build a discipline in the engineering forging…”

"Now, the practice of forging by my daughter is in a critical period, and what my daughter does is an extraordinary thing. If it succeeds, it will affect the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under my father and the combat power of his father's soldiers...

It is related to whether the father's army can conquer and be invincible. The regret of the father's zodiac subjects in the Imperial Academy, daughter...the daughter wants to make up for her!"

this…

Mrs. Ding almost jumped up, and she said angrily: "Lu... Mr. Lu Yu is right, but... forging is a man's business! Why are you so stupid? Because what he said...

Just do it?"

"You are going to get married soon, how can you always run to other men's mansions? If it is reported, what will the Xiahou family think? What will others think? Could it be that you are forcing your Uncle Xiahou to refuse?

From now on, can you never get married again?”

Hearing this, Cao Mu raised her head, she took off her hairpin, her black hair spread out, her eyes were particularly firm: "If you can't get married, you can't get married, who would care! Daughter... Daughter only depends on your principles.

Heart, now... my daughter is full of heart, and her mind is full of forging. No matter what my mother says, it is useless! As for... the marriage of the Xiahou family, after I finish my work these few days, I will personally explain to Uncle Xiahou! My daughter has surrendered!"

Seeing Cao Mu enter the bedroom without looking back with his head on his back, he closed the door tightly and closed the window...

Mrs. Ding's heart was mixed, and her breasts kept rising and falling, as if a cup had been added in vain. But soon, she gasped out continuously, and the cup was completely wilted like a deflated ball.

It's right.

"Mu'er...Mu'er...you...you..."

Mrs. Ding clenched her fists, and her slender palms burst out with blue veins. For a moment, she felt that she had raised such a big daughter in vain.

Mu'er's temperament is still like her mother, like Liu...

But then, Mrs. Ding's hands loosened again and she cried. She regretted her own clever arrangement for a moment.

"Mu'er, what's wrong with me, Mu'er... Did Lu Yu's words make him so stupid?"

Mrs. Ding, who always stood proudly like an iron tower, bent down and shed tears... She kept murmuring. "How could this happen? It's just... it's just a half-month contact with Lu Yu, that... that obedient

The child has changed, changed..."

It was already ten days old now. The beginning of spring was not as warm as imagined. Mrs. Ding, with tears in her eyes, she was helpless and confused, and lost. She disappeared before the courtyard. Mu'er... was no longer the obedient.

It's a child!

Could it be that it was - once you met Lu Yu, you would miss your life!

…

In the boudoir, Cao Mu's eyes were also red at this moment, and she didn't know what was wrong?

What's there to cry about?
