Leaving Yuan's house, Cao Shuo instructed Chen Zhi and others as soon as he went out: "Throw the gifts other than the dowry and give them to the officials in Yecheng." If you have some status in the Yuan family, don't leave any of them behind. ”

"Tian Feng and Frustration, who are you going to send it too?" Chen Zhi asked.

"One less village, one less household." Cao Shuo said: "Since it has been delivered, of course it must be delivered." ”

"What if they don't?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Don't?" Cao Shuo grinned: "If you don't want to, let our people declare in the city that they have taken it." ”

"Obviously confiscated ......"

"Everyone is full of money, one person says that he has received it, others do not believe it, two people say it, others will have doubts, if there are too many people, confiscation will become collection."

Looking at Cao Shuo blankly, Chen Zhi's mouth opened, but he didn't ask anything.

Deng Zhan said: "Since I have ordered this, I will do what Childe said, I have been with Childe these days, and I haven't seen him do anything wrong." ”

Glancing at Deng Zhan, Chen Zhi didn't say anything.

"Cao Gongzi!" Cao Shuo was about to ask Yuan Shang where he was staying, when a person ran out of the courtyard.

It was a servant of the Yuan family who ran over.

When he arrived at Cao Shuo, he saluted and said, "Duke Yuan asked me to take my son to my residence." ”

"I thought we were going to sleep on the street." Cao Shuo grinned and asked the servant, "Is it a mansion to live in this time?" ”

"It's not!" The servant said: "Gongzi is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, and of course the residence cannot be a mansion. ”

"Lead the way." Cao Shuo commanded his servants.

The servant answered, and stood aside waiting for Cao Shuo to get on his horse.

The guards brought the snow fox.

Cao Shuo turned over and got on his horse and ordered everyone: "Go!" ”

Cao Shuo came to Yecheng, the back house of the Yuan family.

Yuan Fang sat in front of Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu looked at her with a lot of smiles on her face, and she didn't speak for a long time.

"Mother, why are you looking at your daughter like this?" Yuan Fang pursed her mouth and said coquettishly.

"When my daughter grows up, she is going to get married." Mrs. Liu's eyes suddenly turned red: "Mother is really a little reluctant to ......"

"My daughter is not married." Approaching Mrs. Liu's side, Yuan Fang grabbed her arm and put her cheek on her arm: "My daughter wants to be by her mother's side for the rest of her life." ”

"Silly daughter, how can a woman not marry as an adult?" Holding Yuan Fang in her arms, Mrs. Liu gently stroked her hair: "Cao Zirong has arrived in Yecheng, and your father will arrange for you two to meet in two days." ”

"It's not that I haven't seen him, it's not like that." Yuan Fang pursed her lips: "I hate him when I think of him." ”

"You really don't like Cao Zirong?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"Mother...... Yuan Fang's cheeks flushed, and she shook Mrs. Liu's arm slightly.

Mrs. Liu smiled: "I knew you didn't do what you wanted." ”

"Where?" Yuan Fang's face became more and more red with shame.

"Mother really envy you." Mrs. Liu said: "I can marry a man I like, and both Yuan and Cao families strongly agree with the marriage of the two of you." ”

The mother also said...... "Mrs. Liu always mentioned Cao Shuo, and Yuan Fang buried her face in her arms in shame."

"Don't go to Cao's house like at home, you can't be too willful." Mrs. Liu said: "You are Cao Zirong's wife, and you will take care of Cao Zirong's back house." Don't be too embarrassed by his concubines, don't be forced to compete for favor. Men like women who are tender like water, and they all like women to follow them. No matter how much it is a wife, don't forget that it is Cao Zirong who has the final say there, don't be stupid. ”

"What serious can he say?" Yuan Fang said: "He looks lazy all day long, and he doesn't speak seriously, what else can I expect from him?" ”

"I don't dare say that." Mrs. Liu said: "Your father's choice of son-in-law is really not arbitrary, Cao Zirong is the second son of the Cao family, and since Cao Zirong died, he is the eldest son." And he is quite capable, he has fought many times and has almost no defeats, where will a young hero like this be what you say? ”

"Mother hasn't seen him." Yuan Fang said: "The last time he came to Yecheng, it was not ugly to make trouble for his daughter......

"Don't you just like him like that?" Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "One thing descends one thing, you are in the Yuan family, and even a few brothers have no way to take you, but I met Cao Zirong, this is your fate." ”

"The mother doesn't help her daughter speak." Yuan Fang gently shook Mrs. Liu's arm coquettishly.

"That's it!" Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking." Mother is from the past, is it possible that she still doesn't understand your mind? ”

Snuggled in Mrs. Liu's arms, Yuan Fang blushed and didn't say anything more.

"Madame!" A maid entered the house and said to Mrs. Liu: "Cao Zirong sent someone to ask to see Mrs., saying that he had sent some KitKat. ”

"So fast!" Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and said to Yuan Fang: "Your husband just met Yuan Gong, so he will send someone over, and he still understands the world." ”

"How can he understand the sophistication of human affairs." Yuan Fang said: "He almost didn't kill people. ”

"Or let's see what the men he sent have to say." Mrs. Liu said.

Yuan Fang nodded, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Invite someone inside to talk." Mrs. Liu instructed the maid.

The maid stepped back, and a moment later she led a man in.

It was a dragon-patterned cavalry officer who entered.

He held a red cloth bag in both hands, bowed his head and said to Mrs. Liu: "On the order of the second son, I came to present a gift to Mrs. Liu." ”

"Zirong, this kid, it's not enough to give so many dowry gifts, so you have to send me one." Mrs. Liu smiled slightly and asked, "How did he arrange for the other ladies in the Yuan family's back house?" ”

"It's all gone, but it's not as polite as a lady." The dragon pattern cavalry officer said: "Childe said, when he marries a young lady, his wife will be like his own mother, and the exchange of courtesies is indispensable." This time, it was just to write kit kat things, and after getting married, he would take the young lady back to Yecheng together, and then send some good things to his wife. ”

"I'd like to see what kind of kit it is." Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Open it." ”

The dragon rider answered, walked to the table and put down his baggage, and then stepped aside.

Mrs. Liu's personal maid stepped forward to open the baggage.

The baggage was wrapped in some accessories, pearls and jade, and one of the hairpins attracted Mrs. Liu's attention.

The hairpin is snow-white and is made of pure mutton fat white jade.

What is rare is that the hairpin is also inlaid with several red and blue gemstones, and the whole hairpin is extravagant but does not look vulgar.

Picking up the hairpin, Mrs. Liu asked the dragon pattern cavalry officer, "Where did your son-in-law get this hairpin?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, Childe's things, we never know the source." The dragon rider officer said, "If you want to know the source, you can only ask Childe to come and ask him." ”
