Since he decided to go on a business trip, Cao Hao sorted out the things at hand and entrusted the affairs of the yamen to Wang Jingzeng, Tang Zhiyu and others.

When he first heard that Cao Hao was going on a business trip, Wang Jingzeng was still a little curious, after all, this was a chore, and there was no need for Cao Hao to go in person. But he didn't want to think about it, if Cao Hao didn't go, who of the remaining chief officials could endure this hardship.

He looked a little hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he glanced at Tang Zhiyu and Yi Duli on the side, closed his mouth, and said nothing.

Stay up until the afternoon, and you will have to work hard.

Wang Jingzeng hesitated again and again, leaned in front of Cao Hao, and said, "Lord Cao, this is ...... If you go outside the mouth, the Holy Driver will patrol Xinggidian in February...... In the yamen, which lord is ...... with him?"

Cao Hao saw that his expression was a little twisted, and he was a little speechless in his heart.

After reading the sage book for half a lifetime, why is this person in front of him still not a companion like a tiger?

Still, if you think about it, he can understand.

Wang Jing was born in a bachelor's mansion, and he was born in a serious academic class, and he probably also thought about paying homage to the prime minister and being a minister of the emperor.

This Taifu Temple is a cold yamen, all year round, in addition to the kung fu of Suihu, there are few opportunities to show your face and speak in front of the holy car.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao said: "Since the official is out of Beijing, Lord Wang is in charge of the yamen, and Lord Wang will arrange it when he arrives." ”

Wang Jingzeng listened, but he was not very satisfied, and frowned slightly: "Lord Cao, if both Lord Yi and Lord Tang want to go, how should they decide?" Or maybe it's an adult who decides, right? In the end, it was hard to hide the look of hope on his face.

Cao Hao saw that he was endless, and sighed in his heart.

This Wang Jingzeng is also middle-aged, why doesn't he understand the truth of "his arsenic, my honey"?

He thought about it in his heart, and thought that others thought the same way as him. Not only did he want to go, but he was afraid that people would say that he was using his power for personal gain, and he also wanted to get a good name from Cao Hao.

Isn't this what it is called, I want to be a bitch and I want to set up a torii?

Cao Hao's expression froze a little, looked at Wang Jingzeng and said, "Then according to Lord Wang's wishes, how should it be arranged?" ”

Wang Jingzeng didn't expect that he would push the problem to himself again, his eyes flickered, bringing out a little embarrassment, and said, "Lord Cao should have a proper arrangement." ”

In the end, he is the same official as the same official, seeing him like this, Cao Hao didn't want to say more, and said casually: "It's better for Lord Wang to look at the arrangement, and the official has nothing to say." ”

When Wang Jingzeng heard this, his expression immediately soothed, and he nodded in response.

When he went out, Yi Duli came in with a smile, looked at Wang Jingzeng's back, and asked Cao Hao in a low voice: "Is it for the matter of February?" ”

Cao Hao nodded, and saw Yi Duli pursed his lips, and said, "I knew that he would be like this, after hearing that the adults were going to leave Beijing this morning, he was like burning his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still." ”

Cao Hao listened, just smiled.

Even if he slanders in his heart, he rarely talks about people's rights and wrongs.

After Yi Duli finished speaking, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Speaking of such an errand, the adults don't have to go in person, it is appropriate to send them to their subordinates." It's just that Xia Guan is really afraid of the bitter cold outside, and the concubine at home is about to give birth, so it's really not good to go out......"

Seeing him like this, Cao Hao smiled and waved his hand and said, "My lord doesn't have to say this, I am very tight in Beijing, and I should only relax when I go out." Not to mention anything else, it is the galloping station, according to the current rich state of adults, it is not easy. ”

Yi Duli laughed twice and said, "Hehe, I'm old, my heart is wide and my body is fat!" ”

has already made people go through the procedures for leaving Beijing in the Ministry of Officials, in addition to Cao Hao in person, there are also two young officials from the Taifu Temple. The picks are all full of fine cavalry shooting.

said that after the Xidan archway converged and went out of the city together, Cao Hao came out of the yamen.

When I returned to the house, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Zheng Hu coming up. Cao Hao stopped and asked, "What?" Is there movement over there in Cheng Zhai again? ”

Zheng Hu nodded and said, "Back to the uncle's words, there have been several times in the past few days, and there are also people in Bai Yue who probe their brains, I don't think they have any good intentions." It's just that the snow is big these two days, and it is estimated that I am afraid that I will show my tracks, and I will have to wait for the snow to melt. ”

Wei Hei followed behind Cao Hao, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

The other party used his yin hand three times and twice, but this side still didn't know the details of the enemy, so he was too passive.

This is not something that can be explained in one sentence or two, Cao Hao entered the side hall with Zheng Hu and Wei Hei, and asked a few questions carefully.

Although I don't know who the other party is, but he is so sneaky, and he appeared in Cheng's house after the accident in the shop in Daoxiang Village, so Cao Hao was also a little worried.

Although Han Jiang's family is plain and strong, she is just a little woman.

In case there is really a mistake, whether it is on the dead Wen Xiu's face or Cheng Mengxing's face, Cao Hao will be uneasy in his heart.

Although Zheng Hu also has some force, he also has experience in nursing homes in Taihu Zhuchang in his early years, but after all, he has been in Beijing for a short time. The yamen of the capital or the road in the market is not very familiar.

wanted to be here, so Cao Hao sent someone to call Zhang Yi over, explaining that he didn't have to follow him out of Beijing, and asked him to pick a few good ones and stay in the house to echo Zheng Hu.

If you need to go to the place where you go through the yamen, please ask the master and Mr. Zhuang to go out to make a fabric.

Zhang Yi is the son of a family in the capital, and he has been an errand boy by Cao Hao's side for a long time, and he is a little clever in his plain life.

Zhang Yi responded, and then asked: "Uncle, since you are a little one who doesn't go out of Beijing with your uncle, and you have to keep people to keep an eye on Cheng Zhai, isn't there a shortage of manpower around your uncle?" ”

In the past few years, because Mr. Zhuang has mentioned many times, every time Cao Hao travels, the number of long-term guards around him does not dare to be less. Zhang Yi is one of the people who went out with Cao Hao in the capital.

Cao Hao said: "Don't worry about manpower, it's really not good to choose two from the people around the master for temporary use." It's just that I originally planned to do a happy event for you and Zhao Tong in the first month, but because of the separation, it has not been decided until now. Otherwise, Zhao Tong will also stay, you will choose a good day in February, and let the grandmother help you do a good job. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't be like this, you always have to leave someone around to wait." Although Zhao Tong is not as good as Wei Ye and Ren Laosi, this is the most appropriate way to make a front stop and arrange the trivial matters of the itinerary. Besides, this duck can still fly, the little ones are not in a hurry, they always have to wait for the adults to do it, and the happy event will be lively. ”

Seeing that he was sincere, Cao Hao smiled and said, "Okay, when I come back, I will give you a good life." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "That dare is good, the small one is the latter's red envelope waiting for the uncle, if it is less, carefully pour the uncle's wine." ”

A laugh dispelled the silence in the room.

Wei Hei wanted to go down to pick out the men that Ming Yue had brought with him, and Zhang Yi also went to the housekeeper's office to prepare the horses prepared by Cao Hao and others, and only Cao Hao and Zheng Hu were left in the house.

Although Zheng Hu didn't say that he wanted to recognize his sister, he always thought about Yang Ruixue, and asked Cao Hao several times.

Cao Hao remembered what Fang Cai Yi Duli said that "the concubine is about to give birth", and he said that it was almost Yang Ruixue. He thought for a moment and said to Zheng Hu: "I heard Yi Duli mention it today, the Yang family is about to give birth. If you are ......"

He originally wanted to say that if Zheng Hu wanted to send something, he would go under the name of Cao Fu, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was too troublesome, and he couldn't keep it from happening, and then he would involve others. Therefore, he changed his tone and said: "If you are not at ease, I will ask the eldest grandmother to pay attention to the house over there, and I will tell you any news earlier." ”

When Zheng Hu heard Yang Ruixue mention, his expression was a little strange, he reached out and touched the back of his head, and said, "Uncle, didn't the little girl go to Beijing in the New Year, but this time it is estimated that it will be delayed until February." The small one has always had no backbone, and on the Yang side, although the little one thinks of flesh and blood affection in his heart, but on the sister's side, there may be other words. If the girl is willing to recognize her, the little one has nothing to say; If the girl refuses to recognize her, the little one doesn't want to make the girl sad. If that's the case, I also ask the uncle to take care of the Yang family without trouble. ”

As he spoke, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

In Cao Hao's heart, he really didn't want the Zheng family brothers and sisters to have anything to do with Yang Ruixue. Yang Ruixue is holding the Li family's secrets, and if she gets entangled, she may have some trouble.

But these words, he can't say them directly as Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu was worried about his flesh and blood, if he knew that Yang Ruixue's situation was embarrassing or inappropriate, he would only follow the suspense.

The human heart is like this, a generous person treats others with sincerity.

Even Zheng Hu, who gritted his teeth when he mentioned abandoning his wife and children, never angered Yang Ruixue, a half-sister.

It's just that his surname is upright, and he has always relied on his sister as his backbone. Now although he has two or three sons after marrying a wife and having children, he is still very dependent on his sister.

Cao Hao nodded, changed the topic, and asked Zheng Hu to be more careful, in the end, it is a woman who wants to be protected, and there can be no mistakes in reputation and body, and it is better to be more and more careful.

Zheng Hu nodded vigorously, didn't stay here for long, went back to look at his daughter-in-law and son, and went to Cheng's house.

Cao Hao walked out of the side hall, thinking about whether to go back to the inner courtyard to change clothes first, or to talk to Mr. Zhuang first, and saw Cao Yin coming back from outside.

Cao Hao gave his father a salute and mentioned that Ming said that he was on a business trip.

Cao Yin looked at the snow on both sides of the courtyard road that had not yet melted, and couldn't help frowning. What is it to go out of the plug at this time, isn't it sinning?

However, after all, it is a business matter, and there is no reason to be slow and slack off because of bad weather.

Cao Yin nodded and said, "Ask your daughter-in-law to prepare two more sets of thick clothes for you, so that your mother won't have to worry about it." ”

Cao Hao responded, and originally wanted to talk about Cheng Zhai's side again, but when he saw Cao Yin faintly showing a lack of color, he didn't speak.

Cao Yin went back to the inner house, and Cao Hao went directly to the Rong Courtyard.

Mr. Zhuang had already had dinner, and now he and Zhiran were eating sencha around the stove.

Seeing Cao Hao coming in, Mr. Zhuang hurriedly stretched out his hand to beckon him to sit down by the kang, poured a cup of tea for him, and said, "Today, the old man and the monk personally carried back the spring water from Xishan, you can take a bite and taste it." ”

Cao Hao smiled and took the teacup handed by Mr. Zhuang and said, "Mr. and the little monk are so interested, this is going to the snow to find plums?" ”

The snow scenery of Xishan is famous, and "Xishan Jixue" is one of the eight scenic spots of Yanjing. In addition to the beautiful scenery, Xishan temples are lined up, incense is flourishing, and there is an endless stream of tourists and pilgrims in Pingsuri.

After listening to Cao Hao's words, Zhiran also held a tea cup in his hand, smiling silently, Mr. Zhuang showed regret on his face, and said: "Don't say it, the old man went to the West Mountain, and saw the beautiful scenery of Fengling Qionglian and Xu Yuezhaohui, and I was quite sorry. If some red plums are planted on this mountain, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake, like a fairyland on earth? ”

Cao Hao had already brought the tea cup to his mouth, and before he could eat it, he felt the fragrance in his nose. He lowered his head and took a sip, which was indeed different from the tea he usually drank.

In addition to the fragrance of tea, there is also a hint of sweetness.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Good tea, good water." ”

Mr. Zhuang was a little proud and said, "Yes, in the end, it is living water, and it is sweet." Now it seems that if you are tired of the prosperity of the capital, it is also a pleasure to build a house in the mountains and live in the mountains in the future, and to be a farmer. ”

Cao Hao said: "If Mr. is concerned, it is not difficult, but Niuniu likes to be lively the most, and Mr. is not afraid of detaining her?" ”

Mr. Zhuang said gently, patted his head vigorously, and said: "Yes, children are debts, and the old man was enthusiastic for a while, but he forgot this little ancestor." These two days are still grinding people vigorously, and they asked someone to take her out to see the fourth girl and the fifth girl. ”

Cao Hao finished his cup of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Sir, the snowstorm outside the mouth is a disaster, and I will take someone over tomorrow, I'm afraid it will take a month to come back." On the little monk's side, I will ask Mr. first. Speaking of this, he said to Zhiran very apologetically: "Little monk, I originally said that I would accompany you to visit a few more temples, but now I will have to wait until next month." ”

Zhiran said together: "Master Cao is busy, don't think of the little monk." Didn't Lord Cao Shi lead the little monk to the thirteen princes' mansion to preach the scriptures a few years ago, and sent a post over there a few days ago, asking the little monk to go over and talk about Zen. This prince's surname is natural, but he has a bit of a Buddha statue. The little monk said that he was walking over there. ”

Mr. Zhuang touched his beard and groaned for a long time, and his expression slowly turned solemn......
