Chapter 208: The Cave of the Cunning Rabbit
Cao Shuang was embarrassed by Cao Miao's impermanence, and his usual stability was gone. He couldn't keep up with Cao Miao's rhythm, couldn't figure out Cao Miao's true intentions, and had no reason to refute Cao Miao, let alone forcibly decide anything. can only promise to promise to tell the Son of Heaven and ask the Son of Heaven to decide.
After putting down 400 million money and repeatedly thanking Cao Miao for his advice, Cao Shuang hurriedly left the villa.
Princess Deyang also resigned to Cao Miao. She lived very comfortably here, but she was worried about Xiahou Hui and wanted to go back to the city to have a look.
Marrying Cao Miao was Xiahou Hui's suggestion, and when things became like this, Xiahou Hui had to take responsibility, and her life in Taiwei's Mansion would be very sad. Regardless of whether Xiahou Hui's suggestion is good or bad, as a mother, of course she can't sit idly by.
Cao Miao understood Princess Deyang's feelings, but he said to Princess Deyang, it's useless for you to go like this, it's better to wait for two days, and when I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will go with you to clarify some facts and eliminate misunderstandings in person.
Princess Deyang couldn't ask for it. After obtaining Cao Miao's consent, she first sent someone to send a letter to Xiahou Hui, telling her that Cao Miao would visit the Taiwei Mansion and ask Xiahou Hui to make some preparations, so as not to cause any unpleasant things.
After saying something, Cao Miao got up to say goodbye and asked casually. "What about the little sister, why didn't you see her?"
Princess Deyang let out a long sigh and looked helpless. "I don't know, I'm afraid I'm going to play with Qingtao again. You see that she is playing crazy in the village these days, where is she still a little girly? I'm going to get married after the New Year. If this is divorced from my family, my family will lose face. ”
"My little sister is getting married?" Cao Miao was surprised. Xiahou Yan is only thirteen, and he is only fourteen after the New Year, so he will marry at such a young age? "Whose son is worthy of the little sister?"
"Well, it's Guangluxun and Qia's son. The family style is still good, quite in line with the golden mean, and his son will not be too bad. This is still a baby kiss set by the late husband when he was alive, and he can't go back. ”
Cao Miao frowned and thought about it, not impressed. When the book is used, I hate it less, and the homework I did at the beginning is still not enough. In particular, the characters that did not appear in these scripts were almost not involved.
"Then I'll inquire. If you are worthy of the little sister, I will give you a generous gift. If he doesn't deserve it, I'll find someone to kill him, lest he become a toad and want to eat swan meat. ”
Princess Deyang said angrily: "Yunliang, it's not that my aunt said you, you can't spoil her so much." When he was at home in the beginning, he was very strict. ”
Cao Miao sighed. "I am different from the beginning. He is the eldest brother like a father, so naturally he must be strictly disciplined. I don't have such a responsibility, of course I can be more lenient. The princess also knows that two of my younger sisters have died, and if I can survive, I will be about the same age as Ah Yan. When I saw Ah Yan, I thought of them, and I couldn't be ruthless. ”
Seeing Cao Miao's sad expression, Princess Deyang was also a little unbearable, so she didn't say anything more.
Cao Miao was silent for a moment, then smiled. "In fact, it is not easy for my daughter's family. When you're at home, who isn't the jewel of your parents? When you go to someone else's house, if you can marry a good husband and sing with your wife, it will naturally not be bad. But if you are unlucky and meet a scumbag, you can't laugh out loud, you can't cry out loud, what is the difference between that and a prisoner? So, princess, you have to have a snack, don't let Ah Yan Buyuan get behind. ”
At the mention of Xiahou Hui, Princess Deyang's heart was pinched again. Sima Shi is a person, don't say anything, if he is really injured by someone and becomes a eunuch, Xiahou Hui will be bitter. She is only eighteen this year, and she has only one daughter, and she has no son, how will she gain a foothold in the Sima clan in the future?
Every time she thought about it, Princess Deyang was so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
——
Back in the main courtyard, Cao Miao called Qingtao and asked her to put away the 400 million money brought by Cao Shuang, and give 200 million of it to her aunt Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing is Zhang Quan's younger sister and is married to Cao Jun. Cao Jun passed on to Cao Cao's deceased brother Cao Bin, and later became the Marquis of Fan, and Jian'an was twenty-four years old. His son Cao Kang, the heir of the Emperor, entered the Duke of Tunliu County in the second year of Huang Chu, and his title was much higher than that of Cao Miao. China Library
Because Cao Jun had no quarrel with the world, and he happened to die that year, Cao Pi's subordinates showed mercy and did not connect Zhang Qing.
But Zhang Qing is a ruthless man. For so many years, she hasn't said a word, she hasn't seen Qingtao once, as if she has forgotten everything. Even now, she hasn't been in contact with Qingtao. But in fact, she has been secretly paying attention to Qingtao through Zhang Wei and others, and has taken in a lot of Zhang's old department.
This time, Zhang Wei came forward to convene the old department, and the reason why it went so smoothly was inseparable from Zhang Qing's help, but no one could find a trace of evidence. Even those knights who were recalled didn't know that they had been taken care of by Zhang Qing all these years, and thought that they were lucky.
If she hadn't taken the initiative to send someone to contact Qingtao and give her a list, all of this would have been a mystery.
Cao Miao had never met this Mrs. Zhang, but he admired her very much and was willing to trust her. The two hundred million were handed over to her, hoping to use her power to create a safe house in case of emergency.
200 million is not a small amount, and it is enough to buy a few villas. Qingtao was very grateful for Cao Miao's trust and generosity, and all the knots in her heart were ironed into obedience.

The Son of Heaven frowned and said nothing.
Cao Shuang and Yinbo knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
Yinbo is better, just a little frustrated. Cao Shuang was so nervous that he trembled, and the fat was surging like a wave, making people feel more and more uncomfortable the more they looked at it.
The Son of Heaven said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhao, copy Cao Miao's suggestion to the general, and you will also follow it." ”
"Yui." Cao Shuang kowtowed and retreated.
The Son of Heaven looked at Yinbo, his eyes softened slightly. "It looks like you're not well prepared."
Yin Bo bowed his head in shame. "The minister's inconsiderate thinking insults His Majesty's wisdom."
"You are too young and have little experience, so it is inevitable that you will not think it through." The Son of Heaven stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the entrance of the temple. Yin Fan arched his hand and followed. The Son of Heaven stopped outside the gate of the palace, looked at the empty royal road, and looked at the halberd bearers on both sides of the royal road like stone men, and sighed softly.
"Cao Miao is cunning, I'm afraid you're not his opponent, so don't go along. You first go to Jianye to see the movement, and see the opportunity. The relationship between Han Dong and Cao Miao is unknown, so don't contact him, lest the news leak out. I have a contact person for you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Fan thought about it, took another half step forward, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, which may solve the trouble of His Majesty's henchmen." ”
The Son of Heaven turned his head and looked at Yin Fan out of the corner of his eye. Yin Fan leaned into the ear of the Son of Heaven and whispered a few words. The Son of Heaven rolled his eyes, thought for a long time, and shook his head. "This plan is too weak and can only be used as a backup."
"Yui." Yin Bo bowed and retreated.
The Son of Heaven was in the palace for a long time, and ordered someone to summon Xun Fei and ask him to go to the Taiwei Mansion to visit the Taiwei's injuries and consult the imperial court affairs.
Xun Fei resisted, but he couldn't refuse.
