Chapter 11 Huizhong
"You're leaving?" Song Yan thought for a while and said worriedly, "Miss, since you married into the Hou Mansion, said that you were sick and closed your door, and Mrs. Yan followed the master to serve as the assassin of Qingzhou, we have not been in contact with the outside world for a long time." You went out of the house to find Young Master Youqing, how can you know if he is still the same as he was at the beginning? ”
Yan Furong said, "I don't know if Jun's heart is like a rock, but I am unwilling to stay in this Hou Mansion for this life." God will never let me down when you give you such an adventure as the two of you. Songyan still wanted to say more, but seeing that Yan Furong had made up her mind, she planned for her wholeheartedly, "If you want to leave the mansion, you must get the approval of the Hou Ye." You don't have a council over the years, and the pair of cards in your hand is not used when you go out of the inner door. In what name do you want to inform the Hou Ye about leaving the house? ”
Yan Furong understood what Song Yan meant, so she smiled indifferently and said, "It's just that you send someone to talk to him, does he dare to detain one of my maids?" How is my maid, it is not Shao Ding's turn to point fingers. ”
"Having said that, without a valid reason, it is always difficult to speak." ”
Yan Furong laughed, "My Songyan, are you stupid in the backyard." Women are always so unreasonable, if everything must be reasonable, clean and clean can only be done, what do I want my husband to do? ”
Songyan nodded knowingly, "Just listen to you." ”
Shao Ding returned to the study in front of the Hou Mansion in the evening, and the staff member Mr. Qi had been waiting for a long time, seeing Shao Ding come back, he saluted and reported to Shao Ding some trivial matters of official correspondence, and waited until Shao Ding heard them one by one and then mentioned, "Miss Cao Jia will post and ask Mrs. to come to Cao's Mansion to enjoy the flowers in three days." ”
Shao Ding was taking off his outer robe behind the screen, taking off his inner soft armor, and when he heard this, he paused in his hand, "Everyone in Fengnuma knows that my Shao Ding's wife is weak and sick, and she doesn't even go to the palace festival, why does this Miss Cao suddenly want to give Mrs. a post." ”
Mr. Qi shook a plain fan in his hand, and said slowly while thinking, "Cao Lixin has a pair of in-laws and daughters-in-law on his knees, except for Cao Ruizhong, the sister-in-law who came to express his stance to you on behalf of Cao Lixin a few days ago, it is this Miss Cao in the famous Huizhong, she worships under the head of Wudang Xi Yushan Road, has learned martial arts since childhood, and is famous in the rivers and lakes. Count the days, it is the time for your plan to succeed and take away Xie Lin's official position. After she returned to Beijing, she had always kept a low profile, and she knew very little about her, so she really couldn't guess why she came to provoke her wife. ”
Shao Ding walked out from behind the screen in a homely robe, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the name Cao Huizhong, "I know a girl named Cao Huizhong." ”
Mr. Qi rarely saw the woman he mentioned he knew, closed the fan, and said curiously, "Please tell me the truth." ”
When Shao Ding saw him asking, he said, "When Madame was pregnant with Ying's child, I asked for an order to inspect Jizhou, and on the way, I exterminated a group of robbers in a place called Qinggang Mountain, and escorted their looted property and surrendered captives out of the mountain, ready to hand them over to the local assassins. On the official road, I met a woman in a strong suit, and when she saw us officers and soldiers pressing the robbers, she shook her head and sighed again. ”
Mr. Qi said, "Could it be that this woman is Miss Cao?" ”
Shao Ding nodded, "Exactly." Deputy General Wei Donglou asked her, why are you shaking your head and sighing, but you are a fellow bandit? The woman said, "I have been following this group of robbers for more than ten days, and because I don't know where they are keeping a close watch over a few civilian women who have looted, I have never found a chance to do it. I am a felony to abduct and sell human beings, your side is attacking Qinggang Mountain, unstoppable, these robbers in order to fall into your hands leniently, presumably these women have been killed, and I saw that there are really no women in your team, so I know that most of them have encountered accidents, but they are powerless to return to the sky, so they have to shake their heads and sigh, complaining in their hearts that they are useless, and let you big bosses take the lead. ”
Mr. Qi smiled, "Miss Cao has such a clever mouth. ”
Shao Ding said again, "Donglou was speechless, and only turned to say, you are a little woman, can you still pacify the bandits of the entire Qinggang Mountain?" I saw that several of the robbers in the captives looked panicked, and knew that most of what the woman said was true, so I thanked the woman for reminding me, saying that when I saw the local assassination history, I would tell them all about the crimes of the robbers. The woman listened to the strange words, you are so pedantic, since you know that these robbers committed a capital crime and killed them on the spot, why bother to hand it over to the assassin who doesn't know if he has anything to do with these robbers. I asked her if it was wartime. She said naturally not. Then I said, "I cannot execute my prisoners at will, except in time of war, and I shall have the laws of my own dynasty to deal with them." ”
Mr. Qi sighed, "Master Hou is just right. He leaned forward and asked with great interest, "What did Miss Cao say?" ”
Shao Ding said helplessly, "Miss Cao glanced me up and down, and said, you are really one in a million nerds." ”
Mr. Qi laughed and said, "Wonderful! It's just that if there is only this entanglement, I guess I won't have to see Madame. ”
Shao Ding said, "After I went to Jizhou, I met with Miss Cao a few times by coincidence. Forced by the situation, she had to brush Miss Cao's face a few times. ”
Mr. Qi looked at Shao Ding thoughtfully, "Master Hou thinks, why does Miss Cao want to see Madame?" ”
Shao Ding glanced at Mr. Qi strangely, but he was not perfunctory, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Cao is not a person with a small belly, and she just wants to make friends with Mrs. ”
Mr. Qi sighed for Cao Huizhong in his heart, and said, "In this case, just like on weekdays, it is enough to refuse if you are sick." Shao Ding nodded casually, and Mr. Qi took the topic away from mentioning it.
The two were talking about other things in the court, and suddenly a small servant came from outside the door to report, saying that the maid of the lady in the inner courtyard had come to see the marquis. Since Mr. Qi became Shao Ding's staff, he found that the most mysterious person in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was his wife, so he listened quietly with bated breath.
When Shao Ding heard this, he said casually, "Just let her put her things down." ”
The little servant said, "Master Hou, the person who came didn't bring anything. ”
Mr. Qi hurriedly retired, and Shao Ding asked the little maid to bring the maid in.
The maid came in with her head down, and after seeing Shao Ding saluting, her voice trembled slightly and said, "Maid Xueya, I've seen Master Hou." ”
Shao Ding said, "What's the matter with Madame?" ”
Xue Ya said, "Madame, please bring the right cards, so that I can teach Sister Songyan next to Madame to go out and buy some things." ”
Shao Ding frowned, "Buy items, have their own compradors, if they can't buy what Madame wants, what do you want these compradors to do?"
Xue Ya trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice, "Madam also said that it was...... It was Sister Songyan who was getting older, and Mrs. wanted to give her back her freedom and go out of the house to get married, so she went out to buy the things she married. ”
Shao Ding's face eased at this time, and he said, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”
Xue Ya listened to his permission and hurriedly retreated.
