Cao Mansion, partial hall.

Cao Hao listened to Cao Fang and Zhao Tong's reply, and knew that someone had bought off the "inner ghost" and wanted to add arsenic to the dim sum ingredients, and his face was very deep.

Han Jiang is a businessman with limited vision.

If it is really a conflict of interests, put croton powder inside, it can't be found, and the effect is still obvious. Dare to use arsenic directly and not put human life in his eyes, how can he be an ordinary businessman?

You must know that the word "official" has two mouths, as long as it passes through the yamen, the Shangjia family will have the possibility of bankruptcy. Wasn't Li Wei's business just a lawsuit?

Those businessmen are shy about lawsuits, let alone lawsuits with generations of eunuchs like the Cao family. That's not an egg-on-a stone, the act of a fool.

Besides, if you buy and sell in the industry, you also know that there are forces in Daoxiang Village and the Earl's Mansion behind them, and it is not easy to offend. Otherwise, the stumbling block would not have waited until this time.

If there was a mistake on the Han Jiang clan's side and he didn't notice that the material was poisoned, the dim sum would be sold...... Thinking of this, Cao Hao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He pondered for a while and asked Cao Fangdao, "Whose business is that Fengrunzhai?" What did the guy do with that side? Although it is not good to be an official, it can't be so confused, and you have to figure out the enemy. You go to find the two brothers, Ren Shuyong, and think of a way to match the confessions of the two places. We can't just rely on one side of the word to wronged anyone! You can't be scared in vain. ”

Cao Fang heard the meaning of Cao Hao's words, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Uncle, if someone really comes to our mansion, do you want to return to the master first?" ”

Cao Hao looked at Cao Fang and didn't react for a while.

Cao Fang hurriedly said: "Uncle, the capital is not as good as Jiangning, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring." Xiao always felt that the other party had made such an unpopular method, and I was afraid that it would force us to move. Do more wrong, do less wrong, now that the master has just arrived in the capital, if the matter is big, I am afraid that the master will be involved. ”

Cao Hao listened to it and couldn't help but wake up.

If you do too much of this dark thing, people will lose patience, and if something happens, they will think about solving it directly. The conspiracy of Xiaoli is a passive counterattack every time, and next time it is still forced into a corner.

Or should you learn the way of yang from your father, think about how to layout, and have defense and offense, which is the right way.

I also neglected one thing, that is, Cao Fang was different from Wei Hei.

Wei Hei was given the will of his master and stayed by Cao Hao's side to protect him. It stands to reason that after Cao Hao grew up Chengren safely, Wei Hei could be regarded as fulfilling his promise to his master and could leave.

continued to stay in the Cao family, just because of the love between the two for many years, they were not considered members of the Cao family.

Cao Fang, although he has been an errand boy by Cao Hao's side for many years, he is loyal to the Cao family, not the young master of Cao Hao.

It can't be said that he is disloyal, but there are some things that are not easy for Cao Fang to handle.

* Prince Jane's Mansion, study.

Yarjianga looked at the kneeling man on the ground, frowned and asked, "Good shop, how can you have anything to do with the Cao family?" What is the way of the second package that ran with the silver, if the person who can't believe it, he won't take care of the account and take over the shop. ”

The man on the ground listened, gave himself a big ear scraper, and said: "It's all the slave lard who is blinded by his heart, he is the cousin of the slave's third concubine, although he has some minor problems, but he is also careful in trading." The servant saw that he still had to use it, so he made him the shopkeeper of Fengrunzhai. ”

Yarjianga listened impatiently to these things in business, waved his hand, and said, "What are you talking about, pick up the important ones, I don't have time to listen to you grinding your teeth." ”

The man hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes, master." That's the case, Bao Er had a few times with the minions before, saying that the business in Daoxiang Village was good, and he wanted to dig up a few masters.

The slave is on an errand beside the master, and he knows that our house has some friendship with the Cao Mansion, and it is still the property of the Chunwang Mansion, which is not an ordinary small household.

The servant scolded him twice, told him to make a living in peace, wanted a master, and also made people cut off other shops or ask people to go to the south.

Early this morning, Daoxiang Village was not right, it did not open in the morning as usual, and only opened at noon, and sold some rice cakes. Their shopkeepers, as well as the stewards of Cao Mansion, all went to Daoxiang Village.

Bao Er is not right, he has been walking around the street, going to Daoxiang Village and strolling, I don't know what to see.

When the slave got the news, he felt that something was wrong, but someone around the shop inquired about the news and didn't say anything, and the kid from Bao Er ran away.

The slave inquired about a few guys, and they all said that Bao Er had made a windfall recently, and he had shown off to a few guys in the past few days, saying that he had won the casino, and he had been lucky recently, and he wanted to win again.

That kid's gambling is known to the slave, and he has always carried it to the end, where is the time to win.

Although I don't know what that kid pulled and what kind of goods he provoked, the slave didn't dare to hide it, so he told the master to see what kind of charter it was. If you save the face of the master, the slave will deserve death. ”

When Yarjana heard this, his face turned pale.

Who is it, if he is calculated on his head, he will not be happy in his heart? Thinking that he didn't know who made the yin like this, his eyes were a little cold.

Grandma's, the tiger is not powerful, this is treating people as sick cats?

"Why don't you get out of here, who will you show if you pretend to be pitiful?" He drooped his face and scolded the man on the ground: "Are you blind, what bullshit women are slashing around, and you can't control your trouser belt?" I remember, didn't Side Fujin just give you a girl as a concubine the year before last, why did you put away the three rooms again? ”

This person on the ground is called Fushun, he is the milk brother of Yaerjiang'a, and he is the most loyal, if he changes to someone else, if something like this happens, he will only hide it, where is there anyone who takes the initiative to find scolding?

Fu Shun got up from the ground and whispered back: "Isn't the slave looking forward to a son, he gave birth to four girls in a row, and he is looking forward to a son, and he can also wait for the little master in the future, right?" quarreled with the same person, was scolded as a desperate household, and the slave really couldn't raise his head. ”

When Yarjianga saw his nest, he scolded with a smile: "Look at your bear-like appearance, what kind of rarity is this woman?" If you want to give birth, buy three or five girls and put them in the house, get some good medicine, work hard, and prepare red envelopes for your son next year. ”

"Thank you for the master's auspicious words, the slave will work hard and live up to the master's teachings." Fu Shun listened, knelt down busily, and kowtowed a few times.

After gossiping, Yaerjianga put away the smile on his face and said, "Cao Hao is a person who will come to trouble, and he will not complain with this side in vain." Let people inquire about Daoxiang Village, what happened, did the dog slave go to other people's shops to put chin beans, or arsenic, to inquire clearly. If the other party hides it, you will light up the sign of our palace and let them pass on the message to Cao Hao to get an idea. Let's see how he copes? ”

"Huh!" Fu complied, and was just about to tell Yaerjianga that it was the old lady's seventieth birthday, and invited the master to enjoy his face and go to eat and drink, when he heard footsteps outside, and then someone said: "Is my cousin in the house?" ”

Hearing this, Yarjianga showed a little smile on his face, and said, "Ne Min, what are you doing not honestly accompanying your sisters-in-law and running to the front yard naughtily?" ”

"Hee-hee...... My cousin wronged people, and he wasn't naughty, so he accompanied his cousin-in-law. With a crisp voice, a round-faced girl of twelve or thirteen years old entered the study with Ji Fujin Wanyan Yongjia, followed by **maid, ** holding a two- or three-year-old girl in her arms.

This round-faced girl is the "Nemin" in Yarjiang's mouth, and she is the daughter of Yarjiang's uncle, Zuoling Cai Fu, whose old surname is Xilin Jueluo. Because he lost his mother in his early years, he added a stepmother to the family, so he hid in the palace.

Next year is the year of the draft, and Cai Fu also hopes to borrow the light of the palace, so he can't wait for his daughter to stay here to learn the rules, get to know the nobles in the palace, and be able to point out decent family affairs in the clan.

Fu Shun had already lowered his hand and retreated to the side, bowed down and said, "The slave has seen Fu Jin, Miss Biao, and Liugege. ”

Yongjia nodded in return, and Fushun bowed to Yaerjiang again and retreated.

"Amma!" When the little girl in her arms saw Yarjiang, her face was full of joy and she stretched out her hand to hug her.

Yaerjiang A's relationship with this successor to Fujin is mediocre, but he is extremely fond of this concubine. Therefore, he took two steps forward, picked up his daughter, and asked with a smile: "Zhen'er has changed into new clothes, is this going to follow Eniang to grandma's house?" ”

Zhen'er nodded vigorously, looked back at her mother with a smile, and then at Ne Min, turned around and touched Yarjiang's beard, and said coquettishly: "Ama, Ama, my aunt will also go, grandma's house has delicious dumplings." ”

Yarjianga was surprised when he heard this, and smiled at Yongjia and Nemin: "I can't complain that this little guy made a mess with grandma's house two days ago, and here I remember to eat delicious." After speaking, he said to Yongjia: "Decide to go back tomorrow?" ”

Yongjia nodded and said, "Well, it seems to be a small year, and there will be a lot of entertainment at the end of the year and the first month, and I don't know when I will be free." It just so happens that some New Year's goods are prepared here, and the concubine will go back with Zhen'er, and she can also accompany Ama Eniang to talk about it. ”

Looking at Yongjia's cold appearance, Yaerjianga felt quite strange in his heart, and said, "How is my father-in-law's body?" It's not a matter for Shanyu to be outside the capital all the time, or maybe the king sent someone to the military department to say hello and say that he was transferred to the capital? ”

In his words, he seemed to be a little flattering.

It's rare to see him take the initiative to show favor so much, and Yongjia is still a little uncomfortable. But when it comes to the eldest brother, she still has a little worry in her heart, and leans over and says, "Since this is the case, I will bother the prince." ”

Ne Minyuan was listening, and when he saw the two of them respecting each other, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Although Yarjana and her are cousins, the eldest daughter is older than her, and she is only treated as her daughter. Seeing her with a joke, she said, "What are you laughing at?" Ming'er doesn't want to go out of the house? ”

When Ne Min heard this, she was not afraid of him, hugged Yongjia's arm, and said with a smile: "My cousin didn't let me go, so Min'er begged her cousin-in-law, and my cousin-in-law loved Min'er the most!" ”

Zhen'er came to Yaerjiang Ahuai, shaved her face with her little hands, and said, "Auntie is ashamed, I know that I am coquettish with my mother." ”

Yarjianga looked at her daughter's cute appearance, only to feel that the bad luck was swept away, and she laughed twice.

Zhen'er "giggled", Ne Min also laughed, Yongjia lowered her eyelids, and the corners of her mouth picked.

Could this be the so-called blessing, why is it like a play, making people look lively, but their hearts can't be warm......* Sending away a few brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law, Cao Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Nersu and Seshtu didn't need him to worry, they both had a lot of alcohol, and Seshtu changed the tea because of his filial piety; Sun Jue's wine, but Cao Hao has been taught, and he really doesn't dare to compliment.

After all, he is the eldest son-in-law of the Cao family, and it depends on Cao Ying's face, if it is unpleasant, everyone will not look good.

Cao Hao was on the wine table, so he paid attention to Sun Jue, and he really wanted to snatch his wine cup and let him drink two sips less.

Because of the great joy, Cao Yin and Nersu Weng's son-in-law were quite interested, and Sun Jue was also accompanied by one cup after another.

When Cao Hao saw it, he had to come forward to persuade everyone to drink less than two cups. Even if Sun Jue is nothing, Cao Yin is old after all, and he has been hangover one after another in the past two days, and Cao Hao is also worried that he will hurt himself by drinking.

Everyone drank slowly, chatted while eating, and ate until this hour.

Back at the inner house, Cao Hao first went to the Orchid Courtyard to see his parents.

Because his daughter and niece came back, the Li family was also happy, and ate a few cups, with a little drunkenness on his face.

When Cao Hao entered the house, Cao Yin was crooked on the kang with a towel on his head, and Li was asking about the placement of his grandchildren.

Seeing his son come in, Li Shi hurriedly smiled and beckoned, "I heard your father say that your two brothers-in-law can drink, are you drunk?" I have made a soup of sake and sent it to your room. ”

Cao Hao glanced at his father, shook his head, and said, "My son is not drunk, my father is fine, right?" ”

Cao Yin just squinted and didn't sleep, and when he heard his son's question, he opened his eyes and said, "I'm not drunk, you're tired of these two days, go back and rest first!" ”

"Yes!" Cao Hao responded, nodded at his mother, and walked out of the house.

*Sycamore Garden, upper room.

Chu Yu sat in front of the dresser, looking at the collar resting on it, frowning slightly, showing a little doubt in his eyes, and muttering: "Bracelet, bracelet, collar......"
