Knowing that the Hussar General's Mansion proposed to him, Cao Miao was really disgusted. Are the men and women, the old and the young of the Sima family so endurable? Sima Shi was scolded by me like that, and he actually had the face to propose marriage.

How endurable a person is, how ruthless he is. When their family gains power, it is estimated that they will either have a glass of poisoned wine or five horses. The Xiahou Xuan brothers and sisters and Cao Shuang brothers in history can testify. Although they don't know anything now, Cao Miao has a written script in his heart.

"Which daughter of the Sima family?"

Qingtao, who came to report when she heard the news, thought for a while and said, "It should be Mrs. Zhang's eldest daughter, Sima Guo, who is fifteen years old this year." The other two daughters were both born to Mrs. Ru, and they were also young, so it was unlikely. ”

"Do you think I should say yes?"

Qingtao was stunned for a moment, and then blushed to her neck, no longer a green peach, but a red peach. "This kind of thing...... Is it what a servant can say? ”

"Let's hear it." Cao Miao said with a smile: "Just help me come up with ideas." I can't ask Ah Hu or Miaoqin. ”

Qingtao was encouraged, no longer twisted, tilted her head, and thought for a while. "The servant doesn't think so."

"Why?"

"Since the prince believes that His Majesty is suspicious of Sima Yi, but he can't tear his face and take the initiative to confront Sima Yi for His Majesty's minions, he can't go back on his word and waver, so that His Majesty is confused."

"Clever." Cao Miao raised his thumb and shook it vigorously.

Qingtao pursed her lips and held back a smile, but her mood was a little excited.

"So how do I reply?"

"Hmm......" Qingtao bit her finger and blinked. I heard that this matter was raised by Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua when she visited Princess Deyang in person, and Princess Deyang also promised to rub it together, and a simple refusal would definitely not work, Princess Deyang would be very faceless. Although Princess Deyang is married, her influence on the general has not diminished at all, and it can even be said that she is actually in charge of two families at the same time.

At the critical moment when King Yongqiu is about to get rid of his imprisonment and return to the court, it is never a good idea to offend Princess Deyang.

"Or, would you like to ask Princess Qinghe to come forward?" Qingtao said tentatively. With her knowledge, she can think of this.

Cao Miao shook her head. He also thought of asking Princess Qinghe to come forward. Among the elders, only Princess Qinghe can compare with Princess Deyang's influence, followed by Princess Anyang, who married into the Xun family, that is, Xun Fei's biological mother.

But he wasn't sure. Princess Qinghe's influence is no problem, but her brain is not very clear, and she is confused. She is likely to have been moved by Zhang Chunhua's words, and she is gearing up to be a matchmaker. After all, when she heard that he could rejuvenate Xiahou Mao, Princess Qinghe was very excited, and sent a lot of things one after another, which made Xiahou Mao almost bankrupt.

Princess Anyang is no better. The Xun family supported the Sima clan to usurp Wei, but she didn't play an active role and watched Xun Pi fall to the Sima clan.

Strictly speaking, several princesses and aunts are similar, and the only one with a bit of brains is Cao Jie, who is also married to Emperor Xian of Han in Xiaye.

There is no hope of relying on elders as shields, and you have to rely on yourself and be single by strength.

"Qingtao, you know where there are the most and best kabuki in Luoyang City, find time to go shopping."

Qingtao was speechless, her head shook like a rattle, and her good mood was all shaken away.

"I'll have to ask Miaoqin about this." Cao Miao said. "Wait for Miaoqin to come back, let her come."

"Prince, that kind of place costs a lot of money, so you need to prepare some more money." Qingtao reminded.

Cao Miao thought so. "Well, I'll have to find a few rich wrongdoers to pay the bill."

Qingtao smacked her lips, not knowing how to answer.

——

Shi Caiying has been out for most of the time lately, and occasionally returns home. Unless there is important news, she must report it in person before she returns. Under normal circumstances, just let Xuanqi come back and report it.

Cao Miao couldn't find a chance to ask Shi Caiying, so she had to ask Xuanqi first.

Xuan Qi said that half of the orchids in Luoyang City are in the mansions of wealthy families, and half are in the liquor stores. The powerful had enough power to support kabuki, and the entertainment of the common people was concentrated in places such as liquor shops. Orchids are the main force among them, selling both wine and art, and of course, themselves. However, considering the economic strength of the service users, the quality of these orchids is not high, and occasionally there are good-looking and talented ones, which will soon be bought by people and will not stay in such a place for a long time.

Naturally, the magnates rarely go there for recreation, unless they are the kind of profligate people who don't care about fame.

When Cao Miao heard this, she clapped her hands. "That's me."

Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. The prince they were waiting for was not a prince in the ordinary sense of the word, but was already known for his madness. "Then let's go to Lonan and have a look. Sister Miaoqin said that someone had recently seen Wang Ji there. ”

Hearing Wang Ji's name, Cao Miao was in love, and she had to go.

Wang Ji is a son of the Taiyuan Wang family, he has been a Taishou, although he is now free, he still has economic strength, there are concubines and maids around him, and he has a wide range of friends, even if he wants to try it, he can get hospitality wherever he goes, and it seems that there is no need to go to the kind of entertainment places infested by civilians. There must be something wrong with him there, and it's a big deal, and he has to come forward.

It was necessary for him to see for himself. Although Shi Caiying has a wide range of eyes and skills, she is an assassin, not a spy, and she is a part-time job to find out the news, not a professional, and may not be able to find problems from the clues.

At this point, she is not even as good as Han Dong.

Cao Miao asked Qingtao to go to the sheep market a day in advance to contact Zhang Wei and Han Long. To the south of Luoshui are military camps, markets, and civilian residential areas, and no one can guarantee what will happen. The sheep market is nearby, in case something happens, it is good to have a response.

He is also a celebrity now, and it is inevitable to meet people who know him.

One clear morning, after breakfast, Cao Miao took Ah Hu, Qingtao and others out of the door. When I passed by the general's private residence, I saw a lot of people standing in front of the door, pointing at the inn across the street. Cao Miao looked up and saw Cao Shuang's shadow on the watchtower, and couldn't help but be curious, turned her head to look at the inn, only to find that there were more people in front of the inn, and vaguely saw the shadow of the halberd.

Cao Miao stopped on the side of the road and asked Qingtao to go over and inquire about the news. It didn't take long for Qingtao to come back, and she was still followed by Liu Chen, the school officer. Liu Chen was very polite, and he bowed his hand from afar, with a smile on his face.

"What's going on?"

"The prince doesn't know that Shu Di entered the thief last night and injured people."

Cao Miao's heart moved. He has been to Shu Mansion, although he has not seen the elite of the forbidden army like the Dongwu Liberation Army, but there are also many young and strong, and they are very tightly guarded, how can there be thieves who touch it? There must be ghosts in this.
