Then, Cao Ting used his wise eyes to sweep around the crowd at the door, and soon picked two henchmen who were not eye-catching, and two trustworthy maids.

took the person to the pantry, recited the detailed instructions of the person, and arranged all the things that the four of them had to do, as for the secret guard, let the third master of his own family arrange it.

Cao Ting walked out of the pantry with his head down, and thought about the matter from beginning to end in his heart, feeling that the past in his hands was not a big problem.

Only then did he pout, nodded secretly, and walked towards the study.

The big net that Ming Anhou personally prepared for Luo's mother was even if it was arranged.

Cao Ting entered the study again, Cao Mu just finished arranging the secret guard that followed Luo's mother, Cao Ting walked to the middle of the room, asked the two masters to say goodbye, and then stood quietly in place, waiting for the master to give orders.

Cao Ze had complete trust in this henchman, and asked with a light smile: "Did you tell you all about the almanac just now?" What do you think? What's a good idea to talk about? This is a thorough investigation, but Ben Hou doesn't want to make too much noise. ”

When Cao Ting heard this, he immediately spoke confidently, "If the old slave returns to the Hou Ye, in the old slave's view, the back house must be thoroughly investigated, and it must cooperate with our wife, after all, this back house is taken care of by the lady." ”

"The old slave also thought about it just now, and felt that there was a method in front of him that was the most suitable, and now it was the change of seasons, and our family was going to make a jacket for the maid and mother-in-law, so it was better for you to discuss with your wife and find a reason to give a favor."

"Add an extra pair of shoes to each person, a thin cotton vest, the old rules from our house, the master is gracious, and those who are slaves must come in person to receive them."

"When the time comes, we just need to fill the yard with masters, let the kid in the almanac watch in the dark, this kid, can't do light work, but the ability to recognize people is good, plus people who know martial arts are very different from ordinary people, as long as she comes, we will be able to recognize it."

Cao Mu didn't understand these trivial things in the house, and asked: "Then what if people don't want to take advantage of this, or are afraid of missing their tracks, they won't come to collect it at all?" ”

Cao Ting smiled confidently, "The third master doesn't know, all the subordinates in our family have a roster, and those who come will be ticked after the name, and those who don't come will be crossed, and when the time comes, we will be the same age, but if we don't come, let's check them one by one." ”

Ming Anhou felt that this was the case, and said with a smile: "This method is very good, you should do it with your heart, do your best, let Cao Bing and Cao Sheng help you, with you, a thoughtful housekeeper, these two will be spoiled by you." ”

Cao Bing is the steward of the outer court, and Cao Sheng is the chief steward of the purchase, both of whom are close to Cao Ting, and they are both the people who should be used in the Ming Anhou Mansion.

Cao Ting smiled when he heard this, "These two people have the ability, but they are just poor in training, I don't think in the past, today I listen to you to mention it, the old slave is also too lenient, and it is good to let the two of them practice from time to time in the future." ”

After hearing this, the brothers Cao Ze and Cao Mu all smiled, and secretly mourned for Cao Bing and Cao Sheng.

"By the way, all the items brought back for Miss Cousin have been loaded into the car?" Cao Ze asked with a smile.

"It's packed before lunch, and the gift list has been right several times, and there are no mistakes or omissions, this lady is saying goodbye to the old lady in Qinghe Courtyard, and she is about to leave the house." Cao Ting is worthy of being the chief manager, no matter how big or small, he knows everything in his heart, and it is no wonder that Cao Ze trusts him the most.

"What good things did the eldest brother bring back for his niece?" Looking at Cao Ting's departing figure, Cao Mu asked casually.

"Don't you know that Yun Sleeve's dowry was sealed by our two families, this kid has nothing in front of him, I heard that he has to rely on selling jewelry to make private money, let's be uncles, can we still watch it?" When Cao Ze said this, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

secretly pondered, when the niece got married, this sister's dowry would have to be counted clearly! This dumb loses, Ming'an Houfu eats, and the niece can't eat it.

Cao Mu nodded after listening, "Qing girl is really a sensible and stable good child, I used to hear what people said, the children of poor families have long been in charge, although our Qing girl is in Fugui Township, but she has a hard time, a ten-year-old child, old and cautious, look at Rong'er is compared, Rao is like this, there are still people who want to calculate her ruthlessly." ”

Cao Ze heard that there was something in his brother's words, squinted his eyes and glanced at Cao Mu, Cao Mu didn't dare to hide it anymore, and immediately learned what he heard in the woods today.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a crisp sound of 'pop', "It's really deceitful!" But it was Ming Anhou who frowned, and hit the case in anger.

Cao Mu was very satisfied with his eldest brother's annoyed reflection, "Big brother, seeing that this official who was released at the end of the year has entered Beijing, it won't be long before Bai Guangwen joins in, I guess the Cui family will admit it again." ”

"Their Cui family is naturally soft-waisted, that femme fatale-hearted woman, how did you enter the Cui family in the first place, big brother, haven't you forgotten?"

"Originally, it was good, the steproom of the Cui family's second room was selected by our family, and it was good to take care of the Qing girl, but as a result, a holy decree made the Cui family break the contract, you won't expect them to come out for the Qing girl this time, shelter from the wind and rain, right?"

"Hmph, their family has a good calculation, estimate the day when the Bian family goes to Cui's house, and then calculate the birthday of the mother, their family is to let our brothers come forward, and they hide behind the idea of not offending people!" Ming Anhou saw the key at a glance, which shows that this person is scheming, and he is not a calculating person.

Cao Mu was stunned, speaking like this, if the Cao family came out with this, he would first offend Qian Guifei, then the Zhou family, the Bian family, and now there is another Bai Shangshu.

This circle of people counts, and the pressure is not small.

It seems that what happened five years ago is going to be staged again, but five years ago, Cui Wanqing's belonging, and five years later, Cui Wanqing's future.

The last time there was infighting at home, and Cui Wanqing's cowardice and cowardice hurt Mrs. Cao's heart very much, and the troubles in a few times gathered together, and in the end, the Cao family was forced to give up Cui Wanqing.

Now, after a lapse of five years, Cui Wanqing is sensible and steady, and she wants to be close to her grandmother and uncles, so will her family give up on her again because of interests?

Looking at his younger brother's suspicious gaze, Ming Anhou shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't worry, no matter what this time, you can't let that poisonous woman calculate her nephew's daughter, the Cui family's waist can't be stiffened, that's their family's business." ”

"Our Cao family is the most important relative, as long as the niece is unwilling, we can't agree, don't forget, it was our two families who broke off contact before, but now we have resumed exchanges, this girl's marriage, my mother is not there, but my uncle has the absolute right to speak!"

"I don't believe it, they dare to pass us up, so they will decide Qing'er's family affairs? If they really dare to be shameless, I will dare to sue the emperor on the Jinluan Palace! ”

"I sued them for bullying weak girls, plotting to steal the dowry, and giving a ten-year-old girl to a sixteen-year-old dying man as a wife, this is not a lifetime of harm, what is it?!"

Cao Mu saw that his eldest brother was stubborn, and shouted, "Okay! Big brother, what do you say this time, I will do what my brother does, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, my brother and I will definitely be in front! ”

Ming Anhou glared at him amusedly, "Okay, don't learn, learn these nameless people, what are you talking about?" Not afraid of being laughed at by children? ”

Cao Mu was thirsty, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a few sips, "I am only like this in front of my eldest brother, in front of the children, how can I be so formless?" ”

Ming Anhou shook his head, stood up and walked out of the house, went straight into the study opposite, groaned slightly, and waved his hand to write a letter of worship.

He took it to his hand and looked at it, dried the ink, and went out to hand it to the little guy who was waiting at the door, "Take it to the second housekeeper, ask him to send it to the Cui family's East Mansion in person, and say that I will ask Cui Shangshu to take the time to see him on the rest of the day." ”

Cao Mu came out and asked, "Big brother, are you going to Cui Mansion in person?" ”

Cao Ze put his hands behind his back and sighed: "I have to go, when the time comes, you go with your brother, let your sister-in-law and your daughter-in-law also go, and go to meet your in-laws seriously." ”

After Cao Mu listened to the fun, the brothers went back to the East Chamber together to discuss the Bian family and the Zhou family, as well as the second lady of Cui, Zhou Yue.

Because of what happened today, Cao Mu seemed to have become more cautious, listening to the eldest brother's arrangement, and there was no fierce opposition.

Some things do have to be carefully thought out, this has to deal with Zhou Yue'e, but it is absolutely impossible to pull out the Luo Bu and bring out the mud, if Cui Wanqing's reputation is damaged because of the calculation of poisonous women, wouldn't it be a loss?

Therefore, the degree of this matter must be mastered well, not only to make Zhou Yue'e feel pain, but also not to involve the Cui family too deeply.

This question is really a headache for Cao Mu, but for Cao Ze, it is a piece of cake, the ministers in the court, which one is not calculated from morning to night?

As soon as he said the method he had thought of, Cao Mu, who listened to it, nodded again and again, gave a thumbs up, and praised the eldest brother for having a way.

The brothers' secret conversation, unconsciously, was the moon in the middle of the sky

Cui Wanqing, who was missed by the two uncles, had already returned home with her uncle's generous gifts, and she went to her grandmother first, and told the old lady about today's things at her grandfather's house in an interesting way.

Then he was kept by Mrs. Cui for dinner, and it was not until she returned to the house in the evening that she had the opportunity to be alone with Fang's mother.

She deliberately asked Yulan to rest early, Yingqiao and Brother Li were guarding the door outside, and Cui Wanqing didn't want too many people to know about some things about her mother and grandfather's family.

Cui Wanqing asked with a light smile: "Mama, today I followed Cousin Tang to play in their yard, and met an Aunt Jiang on the way, she said that she was her mother's personal maid, I felt so strange when I heard it, didn't you say that the people around my mother are now in Zhuangzi outside the city?" ”R1152
