The affairs of the army and Qingzhou are enough for Cao Cao to be very busy every day, not to mention that Cao Cao's power is beginning to grow, and people who think they have ambitions will come to see him from time to time.
During this period of time, he could be said to be sitting in front of the desk every day, even sleeping with a pen in his hand.
And Xia Hou and others were also assigned to lead the army everywhere, and they had their own affairs to do, so they couldn't gather together to drink and make trouble every day like before.
After looking around, there was one person who seemed not so busy.
When they arrived in Qingzhou, Gu Nan and Lingqi had their own mansion.
After that, she didn't go to see Cao Cao, but spent the whole day arranging flower beds in her house, preparing to replant the flowers and plants.
When I have nothing to do, I sit in the yard holding pieces of small wood and don't know what to carve.
Lingqi asked several times, but every time she just smiled mysteriously without explaining.
Now the only thing she has to do every day is to teach Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and Lingqi to read.
It can be said that when everyone seemed to be in a hurry, she had nothing to do, almost as if she had become an ordinary teacher.
There are even some rumors that she was left out because she was too wise and was suspected by Cao Cao.
But Gu Nan didn't seem to care about this at all, she looked happy and leisurely, or she was doing what she wanted to do at this moment.
A flying bird was parked on the tiles of the eaves, cleaning its feathers with its beak, and looking at the street under the eaves from time to time.
This is the back door of the mansion. There are not many pedestrians on the street in front of the door. Sometimes pedestrians pass by the mansion and look sideways. Although there are not always guards standing outside the mansion, pedestrians will not stay for long. Most will look away and hurry away.
As for what pedestrians are looking at.
It was probably the child sitting in front of the door. A child sitting at the back door of a mansion would inevitably make people a little confused. Who is that kid and what is he doing.
But nothing can be seen.
The child was wearing an inconspicuous green robe, just sitting in front of the door and watching the pedestrians come and go.
He looked up and down at the passers-by, and occasionally showed a thoughtful expression. As for what he was thinking about and what he was doing, no one knew.
Cao Pi supported his head and looked up at the pedestrians on the road for a long time, which made his neck a little sore.
As for the reason why he was sitting here, it should have started a few days ago.
That day Gu Nan was teaching the three of them in the Cao Mansion as usual, when Cao Pi suddenly asked Gu Nan a question.
Why did Gu Nan choose his father among the princes
This child is a bit precocious, always asking questions that are not appropriate for his age.
It was hard for Gu Nan to explain, so he had a haha at the end, and told Cao Pi that it was her ability to know people, which is why she came here.
This ability to know people is naturally an excuse that Gu Nan casually brought up, but Cao Pi firmly believed it, because he also had the experience of being able to tell a person's character and conduct by looking at their bearing and posture.
For a moment, he thought that with this ability to observe people, he would be able to treat others without worry in the future, so he sat in front of the door and watched passers-by, probably for a few days.
"Young Master, Young Master." A maid's voice came from the courtyard at the back door. Cao Pi rubbed his dry eyes and looked back.
The maid trotted over and finally took a slight breath when she saw Cao Pi.
Finally found the son.
"What's the matter?" Cao Pi didn't have any expression on his face, and some immature children pretended to be serious, which was a bit funny.
"My lord, Mr. Gu is here. He is drinking tea in the courtyard now. The eldest son has already passed away." For some reason, when the maid mentioned Mr. Gu, her head lowered unconsciously, and she turned red.
Many of the maids in the mansion are new, just arrived these days, but basically every maid knows about it. A very handsome teacher, whose surname is Gu, comes to the house every day.
"That man is here?" Cao Pi showed some emotion on his face, stood up, and patted the dust on his body: "I'll go there now."
"Tea, sir."
In the courtyard.
As soon as Gu Nan finished drinking the tea, the maid at the side filled up the teacup again, and held it in front of her with both hands.
"Ah, thank you."
Gu Nan actually didn't want to drink any more, but after a while, this was already the third cup of tea she drank.
But seeing the respectful look of the maid, she didn't want to drink it, so she reached out and took it.
When she took the cup, she touched the hand holding the cup, the maid's face turned red all of a sudden, and she met another pair of eyes that looked like Qiushui, she hurriedly lowered her face and dared not make a sound.
Lingqi, who was sitting on the side, was holding a sword. After a year passed, she looked more and more like Gu Nan.
While holding the book in his hand, Cao Ang took a few more glances. Seeing the appearance of Gu Nan and the maid, he smiled helplessly and waved to the maid.
"Okay, you go down."
The maid finally gave Gu Nan a meaningful look, and walked down in a daze.
And Cao Ang rolled his eyes at Gu Nan after the maid left.
"Mr. Gu, if this continues, all the maids in this house will be seen by you."
"Huh?" Gu Nan was surprised for a moment, and his slightly sharp brows were slightly frowned: "What do you mean?"
Mr. Gu can't see the slightest bit of intelligence in this kind of place.
Cao Ang pressed his eyebrows and sighed.
Although it was after Cao Pi, he knew what Gu Nan looked like later on, and he quickly adapted to his carefree personality.
Footsteps came from outside the yard, Cao Pi dragged his wide sleeves and walked in, saw Gu Nan and the three of them walked to the last empty table and sat down with his sleeves up, his movements were rather old-fashioned.
Glancing at the empty teacup on Gu Nan's table, the first thing he said was.
"How many cups of tea did Mr. Gu drink today?"
"How do you know that I drank too much tea?" Gu Nan's voice was a little dumbfounded, she couldn't understand a word these two boys said.
Cao Pi turned his head and said to the door: "On the way here, I saw a maid running out with a blushing face, so I thought so."
What is the relationship between these two? Gu Nan looked at Lingqi for no reason, and Lingqi also looked at her suspiciously.
With a sigh, the three students she taught were only Lingqi's normal.
Cao Pi and Cao Ang looked at each other, and both saw some smiles in each other's eyes.
It's no wonder that people like Mr. are still alone and can't blame others.
I don't know what Gu Nan would think if she knew the arrangement in the mind of these two people, but she probably wouldn't know either.
