Chapter 81
It was about his daughter, Shu Chengye's movements sped up a lot, and when Shu Manyao left from the study, he frowned and thought for a while, and then sent someone to call Cao Wei over. After letting the little guy serve tea, Shu Chengye asked with a smile: "Cao Gongzi's foot injury, how have you been in the past two days?" ”
As soon as he mentioned the foot injury, Cao Wei's face changed, at that time, Shu Manyao's subordinates were completely merciless, pinched hard, and dragged a handful, if he hadn't let go and retreated quickly, I was afraid that his life would not have been saved. When he came back from the Zhuangzi, he immediately went to see the doctor, but the doctor said that he was seriously injured, and if it was more serious, he was afraid that he would not be able to use it in the future.
Now I have been drinking the decoction for a few days, but I still haven't healed, I have a dull pain every day, and I don't dare to take too big a step when I walk. The most important thing is that when he sees women now, he has a sense of horror in his heart, he used to go out occasionally and go to a kiln, but now, when he is touched by those women, he has to tremble.
It took a lot of effort for Cao Wei to control the tyrannical anger in his heart, and replied with a smile: "Thank you Lord Shu for your concern, Xiaosheng asked the doctor, and the doctor said that it would be fine in a few days." ”
Shu Chengye nodded, with a look of relief: "That's good, I heard from the people below that you often boil medicine in your yard, and I still wonder if the foot injury is too serious, since the doctor said so, it must be almost better." ”
Cao Wei was shocked in his heart, the medicine that was boiled was to treat the underneath, mostly aphrodisiac herbs, and the smell would make people's blood flow after smelling for a long time, and he had ignored this problem before. What if the little guy who boiled the medicine noticed something......
"It's about the same, but the doctor said that it is still necessary to raise more." Cao Wei hurriedly smiled, thinking in his heart, he didn't know if it would work if he could buy that little guy. This matter cannot be known to Shu Chengye at all.
"It's true that you need to recuperate, and you will break your muscles and bones for a hundred days, although you are still young, you should not be too negligent." Shu Chengye touched his beard and said, the premise is almost over, it's time to get into the topic: "It's just that I think about it, the Shu family is a little far away from the pharmacy, and you come and go every day, it's really laborious, you can raise haode as soon as possible, but if you delay it like this, maybe it will be delayed for a few more days." ”
Cao Wei had some ominous premonitions in his heart, and Shu Chengye continued: "You are also old, and it is time to show filial piety, I don't know if your family has ever engaged you at home?" ”
"No, when my parents were still alive two years ago, I originally thought that they were going to be engaged to me, but later, ......" Cao Wei's eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked: "Later, I began to keep filial piety, and I never got engaged." Besides, I still thought that after I became filial, I would gain a fame, so that I would not be looked down upon, and I could ask to marry the daughter of a good family. ”
Shu Chengye nodded: "You are right to have this idea, it's just that a man marries a wife, not only to have a meritorious reputation, but also to have a family property, so that other girls can follow you without eating and sleeping, and if you have a family property, the parents of other girls can rest assured, right?" ”
Cao Wei's ominous premonition in his heart was even heavier, so he listened to Shu Chengye continue: "So I want to come and go, in order to thank you for saving your life, I specially bought you a house in Lion Hutong, and it is a medicine shop out of the alley. ”
It is not easy to live in the capital. In fact, with Shu Chengye's current official position, it is absolutely impossible to have such a big house in the capital. However, Shu Chengye's ancestors had the ability to get such a big house.
Later, the title of the Shu family was gone to Shu Chengye's grandfather, and the Shu family's house was remembered, from Shu Chengye's father to Shu Chengye, many people came to the door and said that they wanted to buy this house. There are even sets of people who want the Shu family to lose and sell the house. It's a pity that the Shu family is not short of money, and the Shu family's connections are not gone.
What's more, now that he is a saint, Shu Chengye has the qualifications to face the saint. In this capital, who dares to seek other people's yards openly?
The house that Shu Chengye bought for Cao Wei, don't look at the small courtyard that he entered, or it was in the alley, it was almost out of the inner city. But it's not easy to buy, and it's not cheap, Shu Chengye spent a lot of money.
"Master Shu, don't ...... like this" Cao Wei smiled busily, Shu Chengye patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be polite to me, before and after, you saved my daughter three times, this life-saving grace, if I don't repay it at all, it will be in vain, although you accept it generously, otherwise, I always think about it in my heart, just to make me feel at ease, although the yard is not big, in the end it is a piece of my mind, you don't shirk it." ”
After speaking, he said with a stiff face: "Or, do you dislike what I sent out by Shu?" ”
Cao Wei's face turned white, and he smiled busily: "Master Shu can misunderstand, Xiaosheng just thinks that Xiaosheng didn't do anything, so he accepted a gift from Master Shu, it's really difficult to have a good conscience, besides, Xiaosheng has been bothered here for a long time, Master Shu treats Xiaosheng very thoughtfully, Xiaosheng is really ......"
Cao Wei got up and made a big salute: "Master Shu has helped Xiaosheng a lot, Xiaosheng is really unable to repay it, the previous favor has not been repaid, how can he receive a great favor again?" No merit, Cao Wei didn't help at all in the previous matter, and asked Master Shu not to be ashamed. ”
"It's good if you have this thought, whether you help or not, I have to thank you." Shu Chengye said with a smile, he is a veteran of officialdom, and this kind of Tai Chi thing is much better than Cao Wei, a person who has never entered the officialdom. No matter how clever Cao Wei is, no matter how smart he is, he is only a teenager, where can he say Shu Chengye?
Therefore, after being polite, Shu Chengye asked Cao Wei to be sent out. And Cao Wei, who went out, was still a little confused, how could he agree to come down? I obviously want to quit, and then I still live in Shu's house. It's impossible to move out and come back later. How can I implement Jihua, even if it is Xu's place, I will definitely not let go of myself, right?
Back in his yard, Cao Wei thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of how to make Shu Chengye take back the way he had planned before. Seeing that it was getting late, he called Ping'an in: "Ping'an, you have been by my side for so long, and now, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Ping An hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Childe, please speak." ”
"That's the case, I don't think anyone has told you my identity, I and Master Shu, I met on Jiangnan East Road, my ancestral home is Jiangnan East Road, this time I entered Beijing, one is to meet some people, my father was an official before his death, and he also has many friends and confidants in the court, although now my father has passed away, but the favor is still there, if I don't pick these up as soon as possible, it will be more difficult in the future."
Ping An nodded hurriedly: "Childe is right to do this, although the little one doesn't understand the things in this officialdom, but he also knows a sentence, people go to tea and cool, no matter how good the relationship is in this life, it can't withstand the comings and goings of the living." ”
Cao Wei nodded: "You still have some knowledge, second, I came to the capital, also to prepare for the exam, after I am filial, I will be able to participate in next year's Spring Festival, if you are on the list, you will not worry about the future in the future, your master's talent and knowledge, all are on the top, and I am also to ask Lord Shu for advice." ”
"Childe's talent and knowledge, with a small view, is also the top haode." As he spoke, he glanced around, and then lowered his voice and said: "It's much better than our young master, our young master, on weekdays, he will endorse with a straight face, and he can't even do an article well." ”
Cao Wei had a smile on his face, waved his hand and said: "You can't compare like this, your young master, you are still young, I am four or five years older than him, if you can't even compare to him, wouldn't it be four or five years of food for nothing?" ”
That's what he said, but Cao Wei was still a little proud and excited in his heart.
"It's just that I always live in Shu's house, and it's not a thing, after all, it's not a family or a reason, and after living for a long time, it is inevitable that some people will gossip." Cao Wei said again, and Ping An was suddenly angry: "Who dares to gossip about the son?" The son told the little one, and the little one went to ask the master to be the master, and he must punish those people severely! ”
Cao Wei waved his hand: "It's not that the people of your family, but the people outside, if you just say that you are under the fence or something, I don't care, but they shouldn't say, I want to get a good ranking with Lord Shu in the spring of the coming year, this is not only insulting me, but also insulting Lord Shu, Lord Shu is beautiful, how could he do such a thing?" ”
Ping An also nodded again and again, and Cao Wei continued: "So, I plan to buy a house elsewhere in the capital now and move out of the Shu family one day." It's just that I came to the capital from Jiangnan alone, and there is no one around me to serve the pen and ink, during this time in the Shu family, I rely on you to take care of me, and I can't give you up when I leave. ”
Ping'an's eyes were also red: "Childe, do you really want to leave?" ”
Cao Wei nodded, very firm: "Even if it's not for my own reputation, just for the sake of Master Shu's name, I have to move out as soon as possible." If you come with me, I will give you a future in the future. You are in the Shu family, but a small servant in the outer courtyard, follow me, first be my personal servant, in the future, I will be developed, and the Cao family also needs a big housekeeper I can trust. ”
From a small maid to a housekeeper, this is not something that can be done in just time.
Ping'an's face flashed with struggle, and after a while, he whispered: "The little one also wants to follow the son, but the little one still has an old father at home, fifty years old this year, and his body is not too good. ”
Cao Wei was even more satisfied, this matter was what he had inquired about before. If Ping An didn't even hesitate and directly agreed to go with him, then he would have to wonder if Ping An was loyal to him. Besides, it's good to have an old father, as long as you hold his old father in the palm of your hand, are you still afraid that Ping An will not do things for him?
"It doesn't matter, Master Shu answered me just now, but let me pick a few satisfactory people in the Shu family to bring over, and when the time comes, I will go over with your father." It doesn't matter if he can't do heavy work, my newly bought house still has a janitor, he just sits there and rests every day. Cao Wei hurriedly smiled and said, this doorman errand is also fat, not heavy and oily, this is a great grace.
Ping'an's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Is Childe really willing to take my father away? ”
Cao Wei nodded: "Naturally, what I say is never fake." Think about it, if you are willing to go with me, I will tell Master Shu tomorrow, I don't have anything to pack here, and we can move over directly tomorrow. ”
Ping An puffed and knelt down for Cao Wei, and kowtowed three times with a tom tom: "Childe, don't think about it anymore, the little one is willing to go with you!" In the future, the small one will only have you as a master, and the small one will do his best, only be loyal to the son, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and the son will say that the little one will do whatever the small one does, and the little one will only listen to the orders of the son in the future. ”
Cao Wei hahadaxiao, stretched out his hand to help Ping'an up: "Hurry up, don't make such a big salute, I know what you mean, don't worry, I will definitely tell Master Shu about this matter tomorrow." In the future, I will not treat you badly. If you have a bite to eat, you will never forget you, and if you have a bowl of soup with me, you will definitely have a mouthful of it. ”
