Chapter Seventy-Two: A Visit from the Prince
When Sweet Potato woke up and found herself lying on the bed, Cao Wei was lying next to her, looking at her with a smile.
Sweet potato smiled knowingly: "When did you wake up?" ”
"About three o'clock in the morning, I saw that the lady was also lying on the table and sleeping, so I carried you back to the room and put you on the bed, but you slept well, and refused to wake up until you were full."
Sweet potato heard Cao Wei say this, his face was a little blushing, and he buried his head in the quilt, Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and continued: "The weather is still a little cold, the woman is cold, next time you are not allowed to lie on the table to sleep......"
Sweet potato was sweet in his heart, lifted the quilt, but showed an impatient look, and pouted: "Xianggong is used to nagging, just like a woman, too, in addition to Xianggong not being able to give birth to children, other women's work is very proficient." ”
Cao Wei smiled and said, "I have lived two lifetimes, so I naturally know a lot...... By the way, Ning Qiang has woken up, I asked people to boil millet porridge, and told Uncle Wang to send someone to send it when the porridge is ready. ”
What has lived for two lifetimes, sweet potatoes naturally don't believe it, but when he heard that Ning Qiang had woken up, he was very happy, and then frowned and said: "Xiang Gong is careless, Sister Ning Qiang's body has not healed now, how can she hold the soup spoon......
"Lady doesn't have to worry about it!" Cao Wei said proudly: "Hou Zhao went to Ning Qiang's room early in the morning......"
Cao Wei was about to speak, when he heard a knock on the door: "Master, the old prince is here, and he has brought many soldiers to surround our family, and now he is coming to the backyard!" ”
Cao Wei was shocked, thinking about it carefully, there was nothing that angered the old man, the last time he returned to the door in three days, he specially prepared a few jars of good wine, and the old lady also stuffed him with a thousand taels of silver tickets. Cao Wei was shocked, could it be that the old man came this time to snatch the silver ticket back......
Seeing that Cao Wei was still lying on the bed and not moving, Sweet Potato hurriedly urged: "Xianggong hurry up, and the father-in-law should come in in a while!" ”
Cao Wei thought about it, with the old man's temperament, he was afraid that he could really break into the door, so he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, and as soon as he walked to the door of the room, he saw the old man coming over in a hurry, still wearing armor.
"Father-in-law, son-in-law......"
Old man Xu came to Cao Wei, picked him up without saying a word, then clamped him under his armpit and walked to the front hall.
Cao Wei was almost dizzy from the smell of sweat, and hurriedly swung his limbs and struggled in the air: "Father-in-law, what does this mean, the 1,000 taels of silver that my mother-in-law gave me last time have been spent, really, the Cao family has a big business, and the silver really can't stand the expenses......"
"Gua Wazi, it's okay to make a fuss at times, but if something so big happens, you dare to hide it from the old man, isn't it bad to think that the old man's stick is unfavorable! Look at who this is? ”
Cao Wei rolled his eyes and saw Mu Bin sitting in the front hall of his house, his cheeks sunken on both sides, and his spirit was sluggish, as if his body had been hollowed out, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Master Mu! How did you become like this? Didn't you stay in the kiln for a month......"
Mu Bin's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "The old man came to Nanjing after nine deaths, and there were a total of seventeen brothers when he came, and now only the old man is left, can he walk around the kiln like an old man?" ”
Mu Bin said and pulled up the sleeves of his clothes, only to see that his arms were full of wounds, and some of the wounds had scars.
"Lord Mu, I'm afraid it's not very clean in the Jingshi...... Cao Wei said with a serious expression, but being caught in the air by the old prince looked extremely funny.
Old man Xu said impatiently: "Where is the prince?" Last night, the old man received news that your kid had been assassinated, I'm afraid that the gang came for the prince! ”
"Old man, you put me down first, and I can take the two of you to see the prince."
Old man Xu sneered: "What? Even my father-in-law is not happy to shout? ”
Mu Bin was taken aback when he heard this: "Old man, isn't your daughter already married?" Could it be that the widow remarried this boy? ”
"Ahh Old man Xu squinted at Mu Bin, and his eyes were very proud: "The old man has recognized a righteous daughter, this kid is the old man's son-in-law, no matter how good he is in the future, he can kick it." ”
After the old man Xu finished speaking, he put down Cao Wei, and kicked two more kicks by the way, Mu Bin couldn't smile bitterly: "Sweet potato, this girl, I didn't expect to let the old man take the lead, it seems that the old man is not blessed!" Boy, don't come over to help the old man to see the prince! ”
Cao Wei hurriedly ran over to help Mu Bin up and walked towards the backyard, Old Man Xu muttered a few words in his mouth and kicked Cao Wei twice.
……………………………………………
When Mu Bin saw Zhu Houzhao sitting on the edge of the bed, carefully feeding porridge to a woman, his eyes almost popped out, he often stayed by the emperor's side, naturally knew what kind of virtue this prince was, to put it badly, if Zhu Houzhao was his son, I am afraid he would have been killed by him!
"I've seen the prince in my humble position! If you are unable to move, you can't salute the prince. ”
"Mu Bin, why are you here?" Zhu Houzhao was saying this, when he suddenly felt a pain in his arm, and turned his head to see that Ning Qiang was looking at him angrily.
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly smiled and said, "Good girl, lonely ...... I didn't mean to hide it from you, it was Cao Wei who didn't let me tell you. ”
Mu Bin really didn't know what to say, if the crown prince could do half of what he was at this time when he was by the emperor's and empress's side, I am afraid that the two of them would cry with joy and thank their ancestors and ancestors.
The woman on the bed reacted like this when she heard that the prince in front of her was like this, she could see everything after living for a long time.
Cao Wei saw Mu Bin's expression in shock, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be surprised, my lord, this Ning Qiang girl has a true temperament, she doesn't have the slightest thought, and she almost lost her life yesterday in order to save the prince!" ”
Mu Bin was startled, bowed to Ning Qiang, and said with a serious expression: "The old man has thanked the girl for the Ming Dynasty,"
Ning Qiang knew that this was probably also a big official, and when she saw Mu Bin saluting her, she looked a little flustered, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all what I should do." ”
"Yes, Mu Bin, Ning Qiang saved Gu's life, otherwise you put him in Jinyi Wei as an official, Cao Wei is a thousand households, then Ning Qiang will also be a thousand households!"
Mu Bin couldn't cry or laugh, and once again saw the absurdity of Zhu Houzhao, how bastard this person must be to say such a thing as letting a woman serve as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu.
"Bastard boy, where can a woman be a thousand households! Hurry back to the house with the old man, and when Master Mu recovers, the old man will send someone to send you back to Beijing. "Old man Xu goes to the Beijing Dynasty to see the emperor every year, and he can be regarded as watching Zhu Houzhao grow up, so he naturally doesn't scare him.
Zhu Houzhao's face collapsed instantly, and he looked at Old Master Xu vigilantly: "Lonely is on Cao Wei's mansion, don't go anywhere, don't go anywhere......"
Old Master Xu's eyes widened, Zhu Houzhao also stared at him, there was silence in the room for a while, Cao Wei saw this and said: "Old man, since the prince is willing to stay in Cao's Mansion, let him stay here, the assassin has already come once, I'm afraid he won't come again, you can leave some elite soldiers to guard Cao's Mansion."
Moreover, the kid has probably guessed who the assassin of the prince is, and he must have been the one who assassinated me last time, so this revenge has to be avenged. ”
Mu Bin asked anxiously, "Who is this person?" Lao Tzu will definitely break his body into thousands of pieces to avenge his brothers! ”
"Nanjing Governor Yang Hong!"
Old man Xu kicked Cao Wei's ass twice: "Little rabbit cub, you must have proof to speak, you are the prefect of Nanjing, even if you don't deal with Jinyiwei, how can you do such a kingless and fatherless thing as assassinating the prince!" ”
"The kid naturally has a certificate, even if he is not the mastermind, he must be related to him, this old man has a son who cheats his father......"
"That's good, the prince will stay in Cao Mansion, and the old man will stay in Cao Mansion to guard the prince in the next few days."
Cao Wei instantly made a bitter face, this old man stayed in Cao Mansion, I was afraid that my ass would suffer, and I didn't dare to say it if I wanted to refuse.
"What, the old man is not welcome? The old man's son can live in Cao Mansion, can't the old man, by the way, what about Pengju's bad goods? ”
Cao Wei wanted to say that Xu Pengju paid the money for coming to Cao's Mansion to live, but seeing that Old Master Xu's expression was not good, he pointed out the direction to the old man very sensibly: "Little Master Xu is in the second wing room in the east, you go out and turn left and walk to the end!" ”
"Well, the old man has really had itchy hands lately!"
Old man Xu listened to Cao Wei's words and broke out in a cold sweat, watching Old Man Xu leave, he secretly prayed for Xu Pengju in his heart, I hope that the next time I see Xu Pengju, he will still be alone......
