Brothers Have Heart-to-Heart Talks. I'll Be the Spear, Can Big Brother Be My Shield? (Evaluation votes)
The next morning.
Cao Xuan woke up from his five-hundred-square-meter mansion and realized that Madam Zou was not by his side.
He put on his clothes and walked to the front hall.
There was already a bowl of steaming meat porridge and a few delicate pickles on the table.
Needless to say, it was all thanks to Madam Zou.
After washing his face and drying it, he sat on the stool and began to enjoy it.
At this moment, Madam Zou also walked in from outside the door, holding a plate of steaming steamed buns in her hand.
"Prince, you're awake. Don't worry, there are still steamed buns here.”
Looking at Madam Zou's generosity, Cao Xuan could not help but feel satisfied.
After eating for a while, she found that Zou shi was just standing at the side and watching quietly.
She even revealed a blissful smile on her face before she finally reacted.
He quickly waved his hand and said,"What are you waiting for? Sit down and eat together."”
Seeing Madam Zou's hesitation, Cao Xuan could not help but laugh.
"Our Cao family doesn't have so many rules.”
Only then did Madam Zou gently nod her head and sit down beside her. She began to eat the meat porridge in small mouthfuls.
After the meal, Cao Xuan patted his belly in satisfaction.
Although supplies were scarce at the end of the Han Dynasty, the cooking method of food was also simple.
It was either steamed or boiled, but he was not that picky.
Ordinary people might not even have a bowl of meat porridge all year round, so what was there to be unsatisfied about?
After resting for a while, Madam Zou carefully tidied up her clothes.
Cao Xuan was about to leave, she had not forgotten.
Old Cao wanted him to set off as soon as possible. After all, he had already agreed. If he delayed too long, it would be difficult to explain.
Just as he was about to leave, Madam Zou suddenly told him.
After all, she was only a concubine and would be staying in the main room that should belong to the eldest wife for a long time.
In the future, if this were to spread, it would inevitably cause gossip.
Cao Xuan thought about it and agreed. After all, he couldn't force Madam Zou to change her mind based on his own preferences.
If he forced Madam Zou to stay in the main room, it would be hard to say to his mother.
However, Cao Xuan was glad that Madam Zou had thought of this.
His small courtyard was neither small nor big. After all, Sikong Manor was only so big.
Not only did he have Old Cao's dozen concubines, but he also had a dozen younger brothers and sisters.
He told Madam Zou to live in peace first, and everything would wait until he returned from Runan.
Cao Xuan then left her courtyard, thinking that she should inform her brother.
Then, he turned a corner and walked directly to Cao Ang's courtyard.
He went straight to Cao Ang's room and saw his mother, Ding Shi, walking out of the room from afar.，
There was still a trace of sadness on his face as he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
Seeing that Cao Xuan had arrived, Madam Ding restrained her sorrow.
"Xuan 'er, please comfort your big brother.”
"Ang 'er, he…Mother feels that after he returned this time, he seemed to have lost his soul.”
After comforting Madam Ding for a while, she waited for Madam Ding to leave.
Cao Xuan shook her head and strode towards Cao Ang's room.
He had never experienced such a thing himself, so how could he persuade her?
However, he had to persuade her.
He knocked lightly on the door and pushed it open.
"Oh? Brother Xuan is here."
Looking at Cao Ang's tired face, Cao Xuan knew that he had not been doing well these past few days.
Perhaps it was because he had yet to walk out of the shadow of his broken arm, and it was difficult for him to accept reality for a moment.
After a moment of silence with his head lowered, Cao Ang looked at him with a smile.
"You brat, you still want to comfort me?”
"There's no need to say anything else. I'm fine. By the way, I heard that father asked you to lead the army to Runan?”
"This is a good thing. Yuan Shu has lost his support and is no longer popular. This time, you will definitely win.”
"Having military merits is a good thing for you.”
Listening to Cao Ang's analysis, Cao Xuan could not help but feel touched.
"I'm only temporarily taking care of the troops on behalf of Big Brother. When Big Brother recovers, I can do it again."
Before he could finish, Cao Ang waved his left hand.
" I can't go back to the military camp," he said with a disappointed expression." How can a cripple return to the battlefield?"”
"Now, your big brother needs someone to feed me, let alone hold a saber again. What's the difference between this and death?”
"Oh right, mother just said that she found a marriage for me so that someone can take care of my daily life in the future.”
"However, I rejected her. That girl is very good and is also a daughter of a noble family. However, how can my incomplete body be worthy of her?”
"Big brother!"
Cao Xuan frowned, her expression a little annoyed.
Wasn't it just losing his right arm? Why was he so dejected?
There are still the Olympics and the paralympics. Your thinking is very dangerous.
Seeing Cao Xuan's anger, Cao Ang could not help but feel confused.
Cao Xuan said solemnly,"You've been deceiving yourself since you lost your right hand. You're always in fear."”
"Are one-armed generals not allowed on the battlefield?”
"At the very least, big brother can also try to learn to write with his left hand. Big brother has been intelligent since childhood and is deeply loved by father.”
"Even if I can't become a general, I can still be a civil servant.”
Seeing that Cao Ang had fallen silent, Cao Xuan quickly struck while the iron was hot, trying to cheer him up.
"I only know how to eat, drink, and gamble. No, I mean to eat, drink, and play.”
"But big brother is injured, I can also carry big brother's heavy burden, how can big brother not share some of the burden for little brother?”
"I wasn't sensible before and it was always big brother who took care of me. Now I'll be the spear and stand in front of big brother.”
"Big brother, can you be a shield and support your little brother from behind?”
"No matter what, we can't disappoint father and mother.”
Hearing Cao Xuan's words, Cao Ang was stunned.
She didn't expect her brother, who had always been cynical, to actually be able to preach such a truth.
Left hand, left hand, yes.
I still have one hand, even if I can't hold a weapon and fight on the battlefield.
I can also play with words and ink to provide Little Brother Xuan with support and protection in the court and the rear.
At the thought of this, Cao Ang's eyes lit up again.
The corners of her eyes became wet as she looked at her disappointing younger brother and scolded him with a smile,
"Brat, you're good. All your skills are in your mouth.”
"Scram, scram, scram. Go and prepare for the expedition early. Don't let your guard down just because of a small victory.”
"Don't worry, Xu Du, big brother is here!”
