Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly, and said very gently: "Madam, this evening, Cao Feihu from the neighboring street came to have a few drinks with me, and I invited him to come. ”

Cao Feihu...... Is that the new commander of the Dragonscales? ”

"It turns out that Madame still remembers this person......"

"He went to Bihai twice, once with you, once with the prince, and you mentioned it several times. And recently, there has been a lot of rumors in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, saying that this Cao Commander has risen to prominence and has become the commander of the defense of Gyeonggi, and even the people in the palace know it, how I don't know. It's just that you've never befriended anyone, so why did you invite him over for a drink? ”

"Yes, I asked him over to find out what he was talking about."

"Mouth? What do you want to explore? ”

"That Cao Feihu has a son under his knees, one year older than Yin'er, born in Jiangmen, born tall and burly, I like it very much......"

Before Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, Mrs. Ye suddenly came to her senses and asked in disbelief, "Are you...... Do you want to tell Yin'er to that Cao Gongzi? ”

Ye Zhiqiu said a little apologetically: "Although the Cao family's family is not as good as my Ye family, I don't want to be a powerful person, I just think that the child is a loyal character, and he can be good to Yin'er in the future, so I had this idea, I should have discussed it with my wife before I told Cao Feihu......"

"No, no, no," Mrs. Ye was already overjoyed, she actually didn't care whether her husband wanted to marry his daughter to Cao Gongzi or what prince Zhang Gongzi, the key was that her husband had always wanted to give his daughter to Xiaochen, in order to become the princess of Imulan and make Chang's bloodline enter a country.

Whether it is Ye Zhiqiu or Mrs. Ye, they all know that with the current situation of the Chang family, it is impossible to set up another empress as the lord of Songyang Kingdom. Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu thought that even if Su Xiaochen was obsessed with Zhu Zhitong in the blue sea, he would let Yin'er be his concubine, and secretly follow Concubine Jing's actions in the future, so that the dove could occupy the magpie's nest. It is because her husband always wants to use her daughter's marriage as a means for him to restore the country, which makes Mrs. Ye resentful of her husband.

But I didn't expect my husband to say the words of marriage with the Cao family, which shows that ...... Has he broken off his old thoughts?

Mrs. Ye still couldn't believe it, and asked in a trembling voice, "What you said is really true?" Are you willing to give Yin'er to the Cao family? Instead of Xu to Xiaochen? ”

"I'm just scared...... Madame was unwilling. Ye Zhiqiu said apologetically, "What's the matter of Xiaochen...... Alas, it's a thing of the past, and we've raised him for so many years, at least we don't owe anything, and that's enough. ”

In Mrs. Ye's heart, where do you care about the Cao family's family, Yin'er is the last bloodline of the Chang family, and her husband's move is tantamount to breaking off the idea of recovering the country and wanting to spend the rest of his life with him, isn't this more precious than anything else?

Mrs. Ye couldn't help but burst into tears, shook her head and said, "No...... I still, I don't believe it, I don't dare to believe it. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was helpless, and called loudly: "Uncle Kang! ”

After a few calls, Uncle Kang hurriedly came, and when he saw Ye Zhiqiu, he hurriedly said, "Master, I have already handed over the letter to ...... according to the master's instructions."

Ye Zhiqiu interrupted him and said, "Don't say those irrelevant words now, let me ask you, has Lord Cao from the neighboring street been here this evening?" ”

"I've been here, and my lord led me through the door." Uncle Kang replied honestly.

"When I was drinking with him, did I talk about the fact that the young lady was in harmony with his son-in-law?"

"This ......," Uncle Kang was stunned

, Zhiwu said: "When the master speaks, I don't dare to eavesdrop." ”

"Hahaha, I know you can hear it at the door, it's as it is, just tell Madame, I don't blame you." Ye Zhiqiu smiled kindly. Mrs. Ye also looked anxious and asked Uncle Kang with her eyes.

"The master said that he liked it very much when he looked at Cao Gongzi...... also said that the door is right, but I thought privately, isn't Lord Cao's grade inferior to the master......" Uncle Kang clearly heard it, and when he saw Ye Zhiqiu's face was very good, he dared to complain.

But this sentence is sufficient.

Mrs. Ye is like taking a reassuring pill, and there is no doubt about it. She knew that no matter how loyal Uncle Kang was to her husband, he had never told a lie to herself in order to cover up for her husband, which was a temperament that had been seen for decades, and it was categorical.

However, people sometimes believe because they want to believe.

She smiled at her husband and said, "...... I rejoiced in that. It's just that I suddenly heard it, and I can't settle down, so you have to let me slow down. ”

I don't know if it's about marriage, or if the husband has changed his mind.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "It's late at night, you can rest, think of something to say, and tell me tomorrow." As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and left.

Mrs. Ye was stunned and called him out loud: "You...... Are you still going to sleep somewhere else tonight? ”

Ye Zhiqiu pinched the manuscripts and said with a smile: "Madame has just taught very well, but I have listened to it a little bit, and I have to understand it while the iron is hot." The implication is that I want to go back to the study to practice calligraphy.

Mrs. Ye knew that her husband was the same as herself, sometimes she didn't care about day and night when she practiced calligraphy, even if she pressed it on the bed, she couldn't sleep, so it was better to let him go, so she nodded and said, "It's okay, don't be too late, after all, it's this year." ”

"Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and that smile was like a sudden spring breeze in this long winter night, and soon disappeared into the darkness with Ye Zhiqiu's figure.

Ye Zhiqiu returned to the study with those manuscripts, carefully recalled the tricks that Mrs. Ye had just taught him, and copied a few of Li Chongyan's words with a pen.

According to Mrs. Ye, Li Chongyan is more flamboyant than his own personality, so he has to be more wanton to be like it.

Ye Zhiqiu thought while practicing, according to his own expectations, the two deputy commanders of Chen and Zheng received the letter, and they should understand how to cooperate with the outside. Now it's time to pass, tomorrow happens to be the day of the heavy snow adjournment, if everything goes well, Cao Feihu will take advantage of the dark sky to lead the troops to Haidingzhuang.

After encircling the village, how to secretly manipulate Cao Feihu to act?

Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a while, and gradually had an idea.

He looked at the paper manuscript on the table, and unconsciously had practiced for a full hour, he was already proficient in calligraphy, and he was used to all kinds of calligraphy.

He looked at the paper, smiled with satisfaction, and threw himself into the furnace beside him, but in an instant, the paper was burned to ashes, leaving only specks of sparks.

It's late at night, it's time to take care of your spirit, and tomorrow will definitely be a day of wind and water.

Ye Zhiqiu lay on the chair on the side and slept with his clothes.

I don't know how long I slept, and suddenly someone whispered in my ear: "Master, master......"

When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be Uncle Kang.

Uncle Kang's eyes were red and bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night.

"What?"

"Lord Cao is here, and he is in the front hall, saying that he has an urgent matter to ask to see."

Ye Zhiqiu thought secretly, sure enough, he came.

"What time is it?"

"It's just dawn, and I'm listening to a rooster crowing in the distance."

"Okay, you go and serve a cup of tea first, and say I'll be there immediately."

Uncle Kang turned around and left, leaving Ye Zhiqiu alone before he was fully awake.

He walked to the window and looked out, only to see that the window was covered in silver, after a night of snowstorm, the world was covered with dark white, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart, what a snow scene in the imperial capital!

Snow, which looks crystal clear, is a good place to hide dirt and dirt, and can always whitewash all the ugliness overnight, and no one will see the flesh and blood that was previously covered until the spring is warm and the snow melts.

In that case, just make sure that everything settles before the beginning of spring, and you can hide it.

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly picked up a small handful of snow from the window lattice and wiped it off his cheeks.

The cold snow melted into water, which made him smart, and the whole person immediately came to his senses.

Lao Cao was drinking tea in the hall at this time, but he was actually anxious.

After a while, he saw Ye Zhiqiu coming out of the back of the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Lord Ye! ”

Ye Zhiqiu deliberately asked, "Lord Cao came so early...... What's the matter? ”

Lao Cao looked around weakly, and whispered: "What Lord Ye told me last night, I have already figured it out, this matter is really hesitant, I want to take someone to surround Haidingzhuang now, and I hope that Lord Ye can walk with me and help me!" ”

Ye Zhiqiu let out an "oh", seemed to think for a while, and then replied: "Okay, then without further ado, let's go." ”

After that, he turned around and told Uncle Kang to close the door today and let everyone not go out.

"On a snowy day, it's not good to walk and slip." Ye Zhiqiu said.

Uncle Kang responded, and at the same time took the cloak and put it on for Ye Zhiqiu and sent him out of the door.

Lao Cao originally came on horseback, but Ye Zhiqiu got into the car and beckoned to him: "Lord Cao, since this matter is secret, don't be so swaggering, wouldn't it be better to ride with me?" ”

Lao Cao thought about it, handed over the horse to the soldiers, and followed into the car.

Ye Zhiqiu was a little restless when he saw him getting into the car, and knew that he had something to say, so he deliberately kept silent.

Sure enough, after a while, Lao Cao couldn't hold it back, and took the lead in opening his mouth:

"Lord Ye, when it comes to this matter in the court, you are really insightful! Oh, not only that, but Lord Ye's ability to observe people's hearts is also something that I admire Cao Mou! ”

"Hehehe, why did Lord Cao say this?"

"Didn't Lord Ye say last night that if the matter of leading troops to besiege the village is undecided, you might as well call those two deputy commanders to ask?"

"Oh? I'm just saying it, Lord Cao really called? ”

"Oh, thanks to you for saying so, otherwise I would have really delayed the big thing!"

"What does that mean?"

"When Chen Qi and Zheng Lun came to my house at night, I asked him what to do if there were people with ill intentions for His Highness. The two of them said that it is natural to solve the problems for His Highness, and I also said that if this person is near the saint, what should it be, and the two of them said that the Qingjun side is done by loyal ministers, not to mention that His Highness is the future saint, and we are waiting for the royal money but not doing practical things, isn't it a corpse vegetarian meal? ”
