But seeing that the little guy was not in a hurry to run an errand, he bowed down with a smile and said: "If the slave returns to the prince, the big butler happened to be at the gate just now, not only did he order the middle door to be opened a long time ago, but he respectfully welcomed the two nobles in, and he will accompany the nobles to walk slowly, and it won't take too long to get to the main hall." ”

"Oh, then our brother hurry up and greet him, it's really rude today!" Cao Yun really hadn't encountered this kind of thing.

The visiting guests have all arrived in the main hall, and the host's family has not yet arrived there to wait, especially the identity of the guests, which is not a little valuable.

He could still calm down, and there was no word of reproach, but Meng Zelang on the side looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was not light.

couldn't help but turn his head and complain to Cui Changjian, "Brother Changjian, you should have informed the prince earlier, and looked at this surprise, in case the king of Ruijun and the thirteen princes saw that the Ming Anhou Mansion was so slow and surrendered, how would it be good?" ”

Cui Changjian waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it was the prince of the county who specially told him not to let his brother reveal his whereabouts, since he got his will, how dare he disobey it, go, let's stop grinding our mouths, it's only right to go and meet the two of them." ”

Cao Yun nodded again and again, and Cui Changjian took the lead, followed closely by Meng Zelang.

Cao Xiu originally walked with Meng Zelang, but he didn't take a few steps but was stunned, and turned around and said: "The eldest sister still took the younger sisters to Qingheyuan first, and saw the ancestors of our family, and by the way, I told my grandmother that the nobles would definitely visit her old man in a while, so that her old man could prepare in advance." ”

"Then let people carefully arrange the garden and the Zihe Courtyard, my brother estimates, the two nobles are finished drinking and feasting, I am afraid that they will still come to the garden, you first let people prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then put the viewing pavilion together with curtains, and raise the charcoal fire, which is also good for the pioneer to drive away the cold."

Cao Rong helped his mother-in-law, but it was not a day or two, and he said with a smile: "Third brother, go to the front yard to entertain guests, there is a sister in the backyard, don't worry, when you accompany the nobles over, everything will be appropriate." ”

Seeing Cao Xiu hurriedly chasing Cao Yun and them, Cao Rong twisted his face with a smile and said, "Sisters, let's not stand here stupidly, let's go, go and ask my grandmother to go first." ”

After that, he greeted all the young ladies, got on the blue brocade soft sedan chair that had been waiting for a long time next to him, lined up in a row, and staggered towards Qingheyuan.

In fact, Mrs. Cao Laohou in Qinghe Courtyard, and Cao Yun knew the news, that is, she quickly asked the eldest daughter-in-law who was accompanying her to clean up the garden and arrange related matters, and the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law stayed by her side to accompany the guests.

Second Mrs. Cao heard that it was rare for a noble person to visit, her eyes rolled around, and she inevitably quietly asked her henchmen to go back to her yard, and informed Cao Ming to go to the front yard to see the two princes.

He also instructed someone to go to Cao Ying's room, so that Cao Ying's eldest maid could pick up a complete set of good clothes for the guests, and then find an opportunity to let her daughter change into the wing room, dressed up beautifully, maybe she would get the blue eyes of that nobleman, and she would jump on the branch and become a phoenix!

Mrs. Cao Laohou looked at it coldly, her own restless second daughter-in-law was tossing and turning at the bottom, and she didn't say anything to stop it, after all, the second room is also the Cao family, they are fine, and there is only good and no harm to the Cao family.

Since they want to go up by themselves, they are also happy to see it, and they have to save themselves from the name of relying on women to seek glory.

It's just that the old man's eyes, when he swept over the third daughter-in-law, who was still as gentle and amiable as before, frowned invisibly, and the hand holding the handkerchief couldn't help but exert his strength.

Her two own sons, whether it is the eldest son Cao Ze or the youngest son Cao Mu, are all kind to her, and the affairs of the Marquis of Ming'an have never been hidden, no matter what major things they have, they will mention them on their premise, so as not to be unprepared.

Some time ago, the eldest son's outer study, such a tight place, actually had a thief, and this thief also colluded with the inner courtyard, and finally pointed to Mama Jiang beside Mrs. Cao from afar.

And Liuli, who was kicked out by herself, also asked to see her a few days ago, saying that she wanted to atone for her sins, and what she wanted to tell was about Miss Cui Wanqing.

Mrs. Cao Laohou can hear this, isn't that what you can't see?

As a result, Liuli's informant was that Cao Tang and Cui Wanqing bumped into Aunt Jiang on the road that day, and this person also explained the past and future affairs in detail, and she also told her granddaughter and granddaughter's little secrets.

Who is Aunt Jiang? That is the henchman of Mrs. Cao's own daughter, and the first favorite person by Cao Yunxiu's side.

Although she is not the son of the Marquis of Ming'an, she is lucky, that is, she has won the favor of Cao Yunxiu, and she used to be more favored than the children of the family.

When her daughter died early, this Jiang Rujuan claimed to have accepted the bequest of her wife and returned to the Ming Anhou Mansion to serve Master Cao San, which was Cao Yunxiu's deathbed, and the person who testified at that time was the third daughter-in-law Xiang Cheng, plus Mrs. Cao Laohou vaguely, and also knew what happened to these children, it was so, and the old man believed it.

But now when she heard Liuli say this, her heart was like a pot of boiling water, and the tormented person couldn't stand it at all, so she called her eldest son at that time.

After hearing this, Cao Ze felt similar to his mother's feelings, and when the chaos in his mind passed, he first asked people to closely monitor Aunt Jiang's residence.

Then he looked at the old lady and sighed: "Mother, this matter still needs to be investigated carefully, but before the reason is found, you must hide it from the third brother, his violent temper, if he knows that Qing'er has doubts about the cause of his mother's death because of Aunt Jiang's words, he will pinch Aunt Jiang's neck and ask first." ”

"In this way, it is inevitable to startle the snake, people can let her live safely for so many years, and she has a daughter, she must be pinching her lifeline, when she wants to protect the most important thing, and then she will break the net with us, so a little clue that is not easy to get, I am afraid that it will be wiped out."

Mrs. Cao Laohou wanted to open her mouth to respond, but who knew that she couldn't say half a word when she opened her mouth, she touched her cheek with hindsight, and then realized that she didn't know when, it was already old tears

After a long time, the old man struggled to say, "At the beginning, our Yun Sleeve was dedicated to helping her, if it wasn't for Yun Sleeve always saying good things for her, how could the third child nod?" ”

"Even Yun Sleeve left his old body, and the old body always favored her in the friendship between Yun Sleeve and her? If yes"

"Mother, don't think nonsense first, now we are only suspicious, and we have not confirmed that the mastermind is her, maybe she is just tired."

"So many years have passed, and we are not in a hurry at this time, you also know, although the thief in our family has been found out and has something to do with Mama Jiang, but the woman who knows martial arts has never been found."

"It's obviously two things, but the result is that they all point to the third room, the reason here, I'm afraid it won't be so simple, fortunately, now the third brother has invited the old boss to help our family manage the guards and secret servants, but in the past few months, there are already some appearances."

"When my son goes back to discuss with him, let's make a charter first, if I can put a long line to catch a big fish like last time, it will naturally be the best." Ming Anhou was thoughtful and kind enough to appease his mother.

Mrs. Cao patted her eldest son's shoulder with relief, "Good boy, you went early, it's hard for you to set up a household when you were young, and you have to pull this younger brother and sister to grow up, my mother knows your hard work." ”

"It's just that your sister is my heart's blood, if she is really unlucky, it's just that she goes, and the old woman has to sigh that my son's life is miserable, and pray for her to pray for a good life in the next life."

"But if she is really wronged, you, who are the eldest brother, must avenge her, otherwise, your old lady will die soon."

Ming Anhou was afraid that his mother would be excited and hurt his body and bones, and when he saw his mother so sad, where was there who didn't agree?

Not only did he follow everything, but he didn't forget to tell the old lady before leaving, "Mother, my son knows that you have a lot of feelings for her, but at this moment, you have to be stable, and you can't let her see the clues." ”

Thinking of a candlestick night conversation with her eldest son, and then looking at the person who smiled and commanded the maid's mother and placed flowers and fruits, Mrs. Cao Laohou's heart was even more irritable!

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, and I ask the Buddha to make it clear, what should a believer do?" Mrs. Cao Laohou raised her eyes, counted the agarwood carvings in her hands to calm down the Buddha, and muttered the scriptures, "A qiē method, the heart is clear; A qiē line door, pure heart is essential. The need to know the heart is not as good as reciting the Buddha. Remembering the Buddha and reciting the Buddha, when you come now, you will definitely see the Buddha, not pretending to be convenient, and you will be complacent

She read the scriptures here for a long time, and her chaotic heart gradually calmed down.

I heard the joyful passage outside: "Miss Biao is here, Miss Meng is here, Miss Zheng is here, the eldest lady is here, the second miss is here, and the sixth lady is here."

Just now on the second gate, because of the nobles coming and everyone delaying their efforts, Cao Tang quickly changed the full set of clothes and accessories that Cui Wanqing bought for her.

This will be similar to the three sisters of the Cui family, as well as Meng Yuele, who are all like a mother, and the one who is dressed is called a neat one.

When the group entered the house, Mrs. Cao Laohou saw the dress of these children at a glance, and couldn't help but smile, "These monkey spirits, you know how to play with them, look at what you are wearing, you can't tell who is who when you stand far away, hey, hey, which one is this idea?" ”R1152
