Chapter 300: Counting is Counting
Sun Luban's eyes were round in shock, and his chin almost fell to the ground.
In her memory, Mrs. Sun was known for being stern and especially disliked children. Since she was a child, she has never seen Mrs. Sun hug a child, and even a gentle sentence is rare.
How could she suddenly want to accept Cao Miao as her adopted son?
What means did the husband use?
Suddenly, Sun Luban's heart beat like a drum, his hands and feet were numb, he was enveloped by strong uneasiness, and even felt that his mouth was dry, just like when he went hunting with his father when he was a child, and faced a real tiger for the first time.
Before Sun Luban could figure out how to answer, Mrs. Sun shook her head again and again. "No, no." Seeing Sun Luban's frightened expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong with you?" She picked up the bronze mirror again and shone it back and forth twice, but she didn't notice anything unusual about her makeup. Just as she was about to put down the bronze mirror, she was suddenly stunned.
In the bronze mirror, his face is full of spring breeze, and his smile is like a flower.
She instantly understood Sun Luban's surprise. In her own memory, she hadn't laughed so happily in at least twenty years.
This is...... What's going on? Mrs. Sun's face suddenly turned pale and her whole body was cold.
She thought she had won, but it was Cao Miao who had won. Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. From the very beginning, she fell into Cao Miao's trap, and the state of mind she had maintained for many years was shattered by Cao Miao. The hatred for Zhuge Liang and the longing for his deceased mother are all his weapons.
She still thought that she had a winning ticket, and she was ashamed to teach Sun Luban not to be careless.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Mrs. Sun's face was wrong, Sun Luban hurriedly stepped forward to help her and asked urgently.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Mrs. Sun took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, and repeated it several times to stabilize her mind. Maybe a little tired. ”
"Then you can rest for a while." Sun Luban helped Mrs. Sun to the side of the bed and lifted the quilt.
Mrs. Sun wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she lay down again. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes and pondered for a long time, and slowly opened her eyes.
"Big Tiger."
"Auntie." Sun Luban held Mrs. Sun's hand and looked anxious. Seeing that Mrs. Sun was so weak, she didn't know how to deal with the situation, for fear that something would happen. Mrs. Sun opened her eyes and spoke, and her heart finally let go of half of her throat.
Mrs. Sun said weakly: "I haven't had time to ask you, how are you practicing these days?" ”
"Oh, it's okay."
"How about giving you a chance to fight and test the results of the training in the past few days?"
Sun Luban was confused, and didn't know why Mrs. Sun suddenly mentioned this matter. Isn't she sick? She didn't dare to ask more, and nodded in agreement. Madame Sun then called the maids and instructed them to fetch some documents and give them to Sun Luban.
"This is a recent message, you take it and take a look. If you don't understand, you can come to me, or you can ask Cao Miao for advice. Perhaps, he can help you with some ideas. ”
Sun Luban looked at Mrs. Sun, and then looked at the file in his hand, and didn't know what to do for a while. She has never handled these details independently, they are all handled by others and tell her the results. Suddenly let her be directly responsible, and she had no idea what to do.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sun said that she could ask Cao Miao for help. Maybe my aunt wanted to give her a chance, and by the way, I would see Cao Miao's sincerity.
Sun Luban gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. "Auntie, don't worry, I'll do my best."
"Let Sun Qing and Lu Hong assist you, there are some things, just ask them." Mrs. Sun called two personal maids and gave them some orders.
Sun Qing is a member of the Sun clan, and Lu Hong is also from the Fuchun family, the two have followed Mrs. Sun for many years, and they are outstanding in literature and martial arts, and they are Mrs. Sun's right-hand man. With their assistance, Sun Luban doesn't have to worry about finding a clue.
"Although Cao Jun is a descendant, his status is noble and cannot be rude. He has been infected with the disease for many years and has not recovered for a long time, so it should not be too stimulating. Don't bully others, assist the princess well, and complete the task first. ”
"Whoa." Sun Qing and Lu Hong bowed down to receive the order, and saluted Sun Luban.
"Go and tell Cao Jun that I suddenly feel unwell and can't accompany me. Receive him in my place. After eating, I will deal with business in front of me, and report anything in time. Mrs. Sun waved her hand and closed her eyes.
Sun Luban didn't dare to slack off, held the paperwork, and bowed out. She came to the front hall first, the banquet had been set up, and Cao Miao and the others were seated, just waiting for Mrs. Sun to come out to open the banquet. Seeing Sun Luban come out alone, Cao Miao looked behind her, but she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she didn't see anyone else.
"My aunt suddenly felt unwell and couldn't accompany me, so I would accompany Cao Jun to drink two cups." Sun Luban put the official document on the table, squeezed out a smile, picked up the cup, and signaled to Cao Miao. "Please drink this cup to the fullest of Cao Jun, and I will have something to ask for later."
Cao Miao raised her glass. "Madame is not well, isn't she sick?"
"Oh, no, it's just a little tired all of a sudden." Sun Luban didn't know why, so he could only vaguely explain Mrs. Sun's arrangement. Thinking that Mrs. Sun had intended to accept Cao Miao as her adopted son, she couldn't help but look at Cao Miao twice.
It's a pity that she has never been a person who is good at observing faces, and she didn't see any problems.
After Cao Miao listened, she had a rough idea in her heart. Mrs. Sun is probably not feeling unwell, but has a heart disease. She was worried about his sincerity and was suspicious. The so-called assistance to Sun Luban in handling official affairs is not only to test him, but also to use him, and it is more likely to cut off his back road.
Who knows if the person Mrs. Sun wants to arrest is a spy of Shu or Wei.
"I knew Madame's wine wasn't good." Cao Miao muttered. "The mouth that eats people is soft, and the hands that take people are short. Hurry up and eat, and get to work when you're done. End early, go back early. After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, then put the wine glass on the case, picked up the chopsticks, paused on the case, and began to eat. He didn't have a polite relationship with Sun Luban, he was completely angry.
Sun Luban bit his lip, didn't speak, drank a glass of wine, and silently began to eat.
The meal was tasteless. After simply filling her belly, Cao Miao reached out and begged for paperwork. Sun Luban hadn't finished eating, so he had to order someone to take the paperwork to Cao Miao. Cao Miao pushed aside the dishes and chopsticks on the table and began to flip through the documents.
"Where is this Grass City?"
"Huh?" Sun Luban was at a loss. She had heard the name of Grass City, but she didn't know the exact location. Lu Hong took over the topic in time and relieved her of the siege. "Qingcao City is on the east bank of Fankou. In the spring and summer season, there are often nearby villagers cutting grass for sale, for the livestock of passing merchants, and it becomes a market for a long time, commonly known as Qingcao City, which is under the jurisdiction of the cattle market. ”
Cao Miao glanced at Lu Hong. "Did your wife arrange for you to come and assist?"
"Exactly, Fuchun Lu Hong, Mrs. Closely, please ask Cao Jun for advice. This is Sun Qing, and he is also from Fuchun. We have always been in charge of the affairs in the Fankou area, and Cao Miao has anything to know, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Mrs. said, when you meet Cao Jun with sincerity. ”
"I hope you guys can be useful." Cao Miao said lightly: "Give me a topographic map of the vicinity." ”
Sun Qing and Lu Hong bowed down to promise, but Sun Luban was extremely disappointed. Obviously, Cao Miao disliked her again and was useless.
