Not long after, footsteps were heard from inside, and after a knock of the latch, the door finally opened.
An old man poked his head out and saw Tang Bin and others were wearing coir raincoats and covered in rain.
So he asked, "Masters, who are you looking for?"
Nightingale Wei asked: "Old man, we are passing by. It is raining heavily and the road ahead is difficult. Can we stay here for a night?"
The old man looked at the people in front of him, feeling vigilant.
So he asked, "Who are you?"
Tang Bin took off his bamboo hat, shook off the rain on his body, took out his seal, and said:
"I am the eldest son of King Wei, Cao Ang, Shepherd of Jizhou. I have important matters to see Mrs. Huan."
The old man listened, and just froze!
Then he immediately said: "Ah! So it's the eldest son!"
"Eldest son, please wait a moment, let the old man report to Madam." The old man said, closed the door and ran back.
Everyone looked dumbfounded.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps.
The door opened again, and this time, besides the old man who opened the door, a woman in white came.
The woman has an exquisite figure and a thin face.
It is also extremely beautiful.
It's just a few wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, which have already exposed her age.
Seeing Tang Bin, the woman's eyes turned red, and she said to Tang Bin:
"Zixiu, are you also here to see your brother?"
Tang Bin was a little confused, looked at the beautiful woman and asked, "Ah? Madam, who are you?"
Seeing Tang Bin's bewildered expression, the beautiful woman immediately reacted and said:
"Oh, look at my memory. Meng De once wrote to say that Zixiu lost his memory, most likely because he can't remember me."
"I am the concubine of your father Mengde, Huan."
Tang Bin immediately understood that the beautiful woman in front of him was one of Cao Cao's concubines!
Cao Chong's mother, Mrs. Huan!
Tang Bin came to his senses and quickly saluted, "See you, Auntie."
Mrs. Huan sighed, and said, "Zixiu, don't be too polite, it's raining outside, come in."
Tang Bin nodded, walked into the courtyard, and took off the bamboo hat and coir raincoat.
The old servant came over to catch it and hung it aside.
Entering the courtyard, I saw white silk hanging everywhere and burning incense candles.
Tang Bin was a little strange, and asked Mrs. Huan, "Auntie, has anyone died of illness in this family? Why are incense candles lit everywhere?"
Mrs. Huan's mood suddenly became very depressed when she heard this: "Zixiu can't remember? Today is your brother Cao Chong's memorial day."
"Since Chong'er passed away, I have been disheartened and returned to live in Qiao County."
"Every year on this day, I ask people to set up incense candles, pay homage to Chong'er, and express my missing."
ha?Today is Cao Chong's memorial day?
How could there be such a coincidence?
Tang Bin pinched his chin immediately, and began to think about it in his heart.
Chapter 225 The past, the death of Cao Chong
in the hall.
Tang Bin cleaned his hands and lit a joss stick for Cao Chong.
Mrs. Huan looked at Tang Bin's figure, and before she knew it, tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Tang Bin quickly comforted Mrs. Huan and said:
"Auntie, don't be too sad, sorry."
Mrs. Huan sobbed, "If my son doesn't die, he will be as good as you, Zixiu."
"He's so brilliant and endearing."
"Who knows..."
Mrs. Huan said, feeling sad again.
Inevitably covered his mouth and sobbed.
Tang Bin didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
At this time, two children ran in from outside, holding a small drum in each hand, and plunged into Mrs. Huan's arms and said:
"Mother, our drum is broken, can mother buy us a new one?"
Mrs. Huan quickly wiped her tears and said, "Mother will buy you new ones tomorrow, okay?"
"not good!"
The little boy was very unhappy, and immediately became angry.
Mrs. Huan didn't scold, but stroked the heads of the two children, then pointed to Tang Bin and said to them, "This is your elder brother, hurry up and see him."
The two little kids are very illiterate.
They turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Huan's words, just lay in Mrs. Huan's arms, and looked at Tang Bin with two pairs of big eyes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Huan felt helpless and couldn't help but sighed.
Recalling Cao Chong back then, how smart was that?
When he was two or three years old, when he met people, he would go to see them without the adults telling him, and he was very polite.
The seniority and the young are very clearly distinguished.
Cao Chong's big black and white eyes seemed to contain infinite wisdom!
And Cao Chong's two younger brothers are like two fools.
There are fewer black eyeballs and more white eyeballs in the eyes.
There is no intelligence at all in the dumb.
Mrs. Huan wanted to scold them, but she couldn't bear it.
I could only shake my head and sigh.
Tang Bin was afraid that Mrs. Huan would be embarrassed, so he changed the subject and said, "Has Auntie lived here all these years?"
Mrs. Huan listened, nodded and said:
"Since Chong'er passed away, I have returned to live in Qiao County."
Tang Bin nodded, and said again: "I heard that Brother Chong died of a sudden illness?"
Mrs. Huan heard this, and said to the two children: "Ju'er, Yu'er, you go out to play first, I have something to talk to your elder brother for your mother."
Little boy: "No, no, mother, I want to buy a new tambourine."
Mrs. Huan was also impatient, so she immediately jumped up and gave them a chestnut each!
Then he said firmly: "If you don't obey, you will have no food tonight! Get out!"
The two little kids hugged their heads, tears rolling in their eyes.
Then went out crying.
After the two little kids went out, Mrs. Huan sat down, changed her tone, and said:
"I made Zixiu laugh."
"Your two younger brothers are so dull, in the future, my aunt may not be able to count on them."
"At their age, Chong'er has already been able to write a thousand words every day."
"Unfortunately, he doesn't have the good fortune to come back from death like you, Zixiu."
After Mrs. Huan finished speaking, she gritted her teeth, as if she was unwilling.
Tang Bin guessed the clue immediately.
From Mrs. Huan's words, it can be heard that Cao Chong's death seems to have something unknown!
Tang Bin stared at Mrs. Huan, and asked tentatively:
"So, Brother Chong was killed by someone?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Huan stood up and said to Tang Bin:
"Zixiu, follow me to the back hall, Auntie and Auntie have something to tell you."
After listening to Tang Bin, he knew that Mrs. Huan had something important to explain.
Immediately, he didn't dare to be negligent, and said, "Auntie, please."
Afterwards, Mrs. Huan took Tang Bin to the back hall and took out a wooden box from under the table.
The box was opened, and inside were a few shriveled ebony plums.
Mrs. Huan said: "After Chong'er passed away, I found these ebony plums in his study."
"After inspection, it is highly poisonous!"
Mrs. Huan stared at the ebony plums in the wooden box, and said, "It's these ebony plums that killed my son!"
Tang Bin immediately thought of the crux of the matter:
"Could it be that Cao Pi did it?"
Huanfu nodded and said very firmly:
"That's what Cao Pi did!"
Tang Bin was startled, and he thought it was true!
Mrs. Huan is a weak woman with no powerful background.
But it is inevitable that people will be jealous of giving birth to an extremely intelligent child with pupils.
Moreover, Cao Pi was about to come of age at that time, and his biggest competitor was Cao Chong!
Therefore, he used such means to eliminate Cao Chong in this battle of life and death!
Tang Bin asked: "Then, why didn't Auntie report on Cao Pi?"
Mrs. Huan closed the box and said slowly:
"Once Chong'er dies, only Cao Pi is qualified to inherit the Cao family."
"I'm a weak woman with no power or power. Even if I know the key, what can I do?"
"Would Meng De give up Cao Pi because of this?"
"Impossible, the future of the Cao family is more important than anything else in Meng De's eyes!"
"So, I can only take Ju'er and Yu'er and go back to live in Qiao County."
"If I pursue it further, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my other two children!"
"But now, Zixiu, you're back."
"And, through your means, you got back everything you should have."
"Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are far less than one ten-thousandth of you. My aunt sees all of this!"
"When you come back, you can avenge Chong'er's revenge."
"Zixiu, can I entrust you with this matter?"
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Huan handed the wooden box to Tang Bin with both hands.
