Chapter 31

However, the matter of cooperating with Wang Zeng must be brought forward by Cao Xi!

"Daddy, tomorrow you will use the eldest sister's unwillingness to win over the prince.

As for whether it can be done, it depends on the will of God..."Cao Tong said.

In fact, Cao Tong is gambling big.

He bets that tomorrow there will be many officials in the DPRK and China who will be elected as the queen of his own family.

Wang Zeng is a first-class shrewd man.

If there were too few officials to be promoted, Wang Zeng's wit would definitely guess the trick.

"Child, do you want to prepare a generous gift with your father?

In our Cao family's treasury, there are still a few treasures that can be handled. ”

Hearing Cao Xi's words, Cao Yu was a little devastated.

Who is Wang Zeng, that is one of the three phases of the Great Song Dynasty!

He hasn't seen any treasures, where do he still use the Cao family to send...

And civil officials care most about honor.

If Cao Xi really did this, I was afraid that Wang Zeng would turn his face directly.

"Daddy, we need allies, not asylum.

Once you give away the treasure, it means that our Cao family loses. ”

This kind of gambling technique is actually thanks to Cao Tong's bargaining with medicinal herb merchants in later generations.

Although these are not some college questions.

But apparently Cao Xi was too well protected by the Cao family before.

Even if he became the head of the family, he still didn't know the doorway.

Fortunately, Cao Xi seemed to understand his words, nodded and said, "Yu'er, tomorrow as a father will be improvised."

However, it is still distressing to be a father and let your eldest sister lose her position as queen. ”

Cao Yu knew why Cao Xi was distressed.

After all, the position of a queen is too important for the Wuxun family, which has begun to decline.

That is, Cao Xi put the safety of Cao Mansion in the first place.

If you change the ambitious head of the family, I'm afraid you will take a risk, right?

"Daddy, how long will it be good for Israel to serve people?

We need to take a long-term view.

As long as the eldest sister can give birth to a prince for the official family, then our Cao family is still worried about the day when there is no future? ”

His words obviously moved Cao Xi!

I saw Cao Xi stand up violently and said, "Yes, we really can't just seize the day."

Son, you can rest first.

I'll talk to your uncles about how to do it. ”

Hey, it's finally gone!

Cao Tong was really afraid that if he continued to talk, his confused father would have something that he shouldn't have.

However, Cao Tong did not rest.

Instead, he took out the rubbing book that Wang Zeng gave him and began to practice calligraphy.

It wasn't until sunset that Xi'er entered the house with a food box.

"Lang Jun, it's time to eat."

Cao Tong is most afraid of Xi'er saying this!

The meals in this Cao Mansion are all made with the best ingredients.

But as soon as Cao Tong saw those boiled dishes, he lost his appetite at all.

Fortunately, Xi'er will make some tonic soup in the kitchen.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that his body would not be able to stand it.

Cao Yan glanced at the food on the table with interest.

But this glance made his eyes light up.

Because, he saw that the kitchen actually stewed duck today.

Duck meat is cold, sweet and salty, and returns to the spleen, stomach, lungs and kidneys.

In addition to greatly replenishing fatigue and nourishing the yin of the five internal organs, it also has a good effect on malnutrition.

Cao Tong had mentioned it to Xi'er once before.

But what he didn't expect was that the noble family generally didn't eat duck meat.

"Xi'er, this is what you specially explained?"

Seeing Cao Yan ask, Xi'er nodded and said, "Recently, Lang Junqing has lost a lot, and the slave family specially made some silver money for the cook to make." ”

"It's good to make money!

Tomorrow, I will ask the cook to stew some beef for me, that thing can work with astragalus, and it is better than duck meat. ”

"Lang... Lang Jun can't help it!

Killing cattle is to be questioned, in addition to the official family rewarding the three armies, where can you get beef! ”

When Cao Tong heard Xi'er's words, he couldn't help but secretly speak.

I've been misled by fiction again!

When I first watched "Water Margin", those heroes shouted "cut two catties of cooked beef" at every turn.

I thought that Da Song could eat cows, but I didn't expect it to be made up.

"What about pork?"

Seeing Cao Tong asking this, Xi'er knelt on the ground in fright and said, "Lang Jun don't want to make fun of the slave...

Pork is cheap meat, and even we big girls don't bother to eat it.

What's more, it's you, Lang Jun. ”

It's a bit unbearable!

Pork tastes delicious, right?

Before he crossed over, the pork was so expensive that he couldn't afford it, but he didn't think that he was disliked in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's really feng shui in turns, and it's all up to people.

Cao Tong looked at Xi'er who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Get up, I'm just asking casually." ”

"Lang Jun, how did you become interested in eating today?"

"The eldest sister participated in the palace banquet today, so it is not far from the day of entering the palace.

Daddy promised me that after the eldest sister entered the palace, he could move out and live alone.

Do you think I can be unhappy? ”

In fact, this is also the only motivation for Cao Yu to give advice to Cao Xi.

Although he is Cao Xi's sister-in-law.

But after all, he still has a lot of secrets, and it is really not suitable to live in Cao Mansion all the time.

"Lang Jun, are you really planning to move out?"

Seeing Xi'er's face full of worry, Cao Tong frowned and said, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Of course, we don't have any money on hand!"
