Chapter 141: Surveillance
Cao Xiu saw that she was telling the truth, and did not talk about anything else to perfunctory, she felt comforted in her heart, and smiled and comforted her: "Cousin Qing, don't worry anymore, I heard what Cousin Cui said just now, Miss Fifth has woken up, and the boiled medicine has also been used, and she is now in addition to some slight fever, that is, those red rashes are itchy, and her consciousness is very clear." β
Cui Wanqing was relieved after hearing this, nodded with a smile, and sighed to Cao Xiu: "That's good, as long as the fifth sister is fine, it's fine, as for this itchy wine rash, it will be over for a few days, and it's okay." β
"By the way, why didn't Cousin Xiu talk to Cousin Yun and Third Brother in the hall, but they came to the courtyard? The sun has already dissipated, and it is the time when the tide rises, and it is strange to stand like this. β
"Oh, I was originally talking to my brothers in the hall, but when I saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, I couldn't help but be a little worried, so I just came out to have a look."
"How? Grandmother, did her old man reproach you? That's not a big deal, is it? Cao Xiu was worried that his cousin would be innocently reprimanded, and asked with concern.
He is not very old, and his family is strictly managed, and he is not like Cao Ming, hugging left and right, and he doesn't understand this kind of thing about men and women.
Cao Xiu's words of sincere concern, when he heard Cui Wanqing's ears, it immediately fell into Cui Wanqing's heart, Cui Wanqing's love was not very stable, and he was cared for by this gentle and soft words, and he didn't know why, his heart was sour, and crystal tears fell in his eyes.
She cried with emotion, but Cao Xiu, who was standing next to her, was very frightened, and asked anxiously, "Cousin, what's wrong?" Could it be that grandmother really blames you? But it's not your fault, it's your fifth sister who secretly drank sherbet behind your back, what's wrong with you? Grandmother, she shouldn't blame you. β
"Cousin, don't be sad and cry, in fact, cousin, I think, grandmother, she is just saying, you also know, today the Ruijun Wang brothers are close, grandmother is afraid of sweeping the interest of the nobles, the nobles are angry because of this, and it will be over in two days, her old man will never take these things seriously, and you don't take it to heart."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel distressed and took the handkerchief from Cui Wanqing's hand, and gently helped Cui Wanqing wipe away her tears, "Qing'er, don't be sad, my cousin will go and tell my grandmother in a while, King Ruijun is not angry about this matter, and when he left, he also said that he invited me and my second brother to the banquet."
Cui Wanqing didn't react at first, and let Cao Xiu wipe her tears, but Yingqiao behind her couldn't help but be anxious, stomping her feet and coughing, with a posture of wanting to pounce and drag Cui Wanqing away.
Cui Wanqing was startled by her maid's movements, and then she came back to her senses, Cao Xiu in front of her was so close to her, she could even see Cao Xiu's eyes reflecting her face.
Seeing Cao Xiu's long eyelashes fluttering constantly, like two of the most delicate little fans, Cui Wanqing couldn't help but beat wildly in her heart, and her little face turned red as if she was about to drip blood.
You must know that Cao Xiu is not Cui Changjian, this is not his own brother, but just a cousin, since ancient times, Cui Wanqing should not listen too much about this cousin and cousin
Cui Wanqing couldn't help but stomp her feet and said, "Cousin Xiu, you are really"
But as far as the eye can see, it is Cao Xiu's sincere and caring eyes, and she can't say her strange words.
This one, just turned around and ran!
Yingqiao followed this master closely, and when she came to Cao Xiu, she couldn't help but pause, glared at Cao Xiu hatefully, and snorted heavily, and then chased Cui Wanqing.
The master and servant entered the east wing room like the wind, leaving Cao Xiu standing in place, not moving for a long time, looking from afar, dumbfounded, it really looked like a statue.
When Cao Xiu figured out in his heart, what he did just now was so arrogant to Cousin Qing, but the eyes that looked at the lake green embroidered yellow lilac palace silk handkerchief in his hand were a different look.
Cui Wanqing entered the house and sat next to Cui Wanyun, about the past tea time, I still feel that my heart is beating fast, I am also in my thirties in my past and present lives, and I was actually taken advantage of by a twelve-year-old stinky boy!
And the person who took advantage of it was probably stupid and didn't know it, thinking of seeing Cao Xiu again in the future, how embarrassing should this brother and sister be? !
Thinking that she had a big mess just now, Cui Wanqing really wanted to dig a pit on the spot, and by the way, she threw herself in and buried it, and never saw anyone again.
She twisted her veil here, her cheeks were red, and her mind was thinking about everything, but she didn't expect that her negative and complicated mood just now would have dissipated without a trace because of this inexplicable embarrassment.
"Ninth sister, are you okay? Why are you so red? Looking restless? But Mrs. Cao Laohou blames you? Because "Cui Wanjuan originally wanted to say," Mrs. Cao Laohou was angry about Cui Wanyun's sudden situation, and she was afraid of making the Ruijun Wang brothers unhappy. β
But considering that Cui Wanyun was right in front of him, he stuttered for a long time, and he couldn't say everything.
Cui Wanyun pursed her lips and sighed: "I didn't mean to, how do I know I'm allergic to alcohol?" The third brother said just now, this will kill someone if it doesn't work, do you two think I will do it knowingly? Is that your own life a joke? β
Cui Wanqing was amused when she saw her aggrieved look, and thanked her for interjecting and allowing her to cross Cui Wanjuan's questioning.
She patted Cui Wanyun's arm lightly and said comfortingly: "It's okay, grandmother, her old man didn't blame you, she just called me to ask about the situation, she was relieved to hear that the nobles were not angry and had returned to the palace." β
"You know, after all, the two princes came here suddenly, and their grandmother and cousins didn't prepare in advance, so how could they not be worried? It's normal to ask about this, and I really don't blame you. β
Cui Wanyun nodded, indicating that she knew, she would not be dizzy, and the fever would be lighter, but the itching on her body was uncomfortable, and she felt that the couch under her body was so hard, that her whole body was uncomfortable.
couldn't help tugging Cui Wanqing's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Ninth sister, I think this will be much better, can we go home?" It's so hard, I'm lying so uncomfortable, I want to go home and sleep on my own bed."
Cui Wanqing saw that she was so old, and she was still coquettish to her younger sister, she couldn't help but be secretly happy, she turned her face and instructed Yingqiao: "You go to the main hall, tell the third brother about the situation of the fifth sister, and ask him if we will go home, can it be done?" β
As soon as Cui Changjian heard Cui Wanyun say that it was much better, and he wanted to go home, he didn't want to disturb the Cao family any more, where was there anyone who didn't agree?
He exchanged a few words with Cao Yun and Cao Xiu, said a few words of forgiveness and thanks, and expressed his friendship, and then took his sisters home with his sisters.
And the two brothers of Ming Anhou, until the time of the lamp, they both returned home, and the Yiming Hall in the outer courtyard was brightly lit, welcoming back the two masters who had returned late.
Although the brothers came back together, in fact, they were not together for a day, Cao Ze was on an errand, and Cao Mu was for another private matter of his own family.
This private matter has to start with the new head of the Cao family's guards, Meng Yuanshan.
This Cao Mu's old boss responded to Cao Mu's invitation and came to the Ming'an Hou Mansion as an errand for the commander of the guards, and soon took over all the light and dark guards of the Ming Anhou Mansion.
Compared with Cao Mu, this work is really too efficient, people come out of the serious class, and it is instinct to train soldiers, which is very different from Cheng DΓΉ, a half-man like Master Cao San.
In just a few months, the guards of the Marquis of Ming'an, under Meng Yuanshan's high-intensity training, have a new mental outlook.
I don't know if the guards of the Hou Mansion have become more meticulous? The woman who knew martial arts last time behind Ming Anhou's study had not appeared again until now.
And just a few nights ago, the guards who were working overtime to patrol found that in the courtyard of Master Cao San, around Aunt Jiang's residence, there were black-clothed masked people frequently appeared.
As soon as Meng Yuanshan received the news, he was very energetic, this was the first major event since he took office, he did not launch a thunder offensive, but sent additional masters, staring at Aunt Jiang's courtyard from afar, just to see why they came!
Unexpectedly, after this careful surveillance, Meng Yuanshan and the others found that this group of black-clothed masked people, one was not for money, and the other was not for sex, they were just staring at Aunt Jiang's yard, and they still remembered something from time to time, and they didn't see any other actions at all.
Fortunately, yesterday, Meng Yuanshan's subordinates finally succeeded in tracking down the lair of these masked people.
And Cao Mu, who couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, took Meng Yuanshan on a personal trip today!
The thief's den is in the north city, and the faΓ§ade outside is a rice shop, but the courtyard inside is something else, which is estimated to be an underground force in the capital, specializing in buying and selling news for the rich.
There are still a lot of people in this rice shop, and the people come and go quite lively.
Cao Mu sat on the teahouse across the street and looked at it, secretly calculating in his heart, this is only half an hour, there are enough twenty or thirty people in and out, and he has a total of seven or eight people.
Meng Yuanshan would sit opposite Cao Mu, and he also looked at it carefully with a sideways face.
He looked at Cao Mu's frowning brows, and knew that what was involved behind this matter was not a trivial matter.
Since this matter can make the cynical Cao Mu so serious and serious, how can Meng Yuanshan, a new official, who wants to show his skills, dare to take it lightly? R1152
