Gidian, the head of the circle, the royal boat is in.

The sixteenth elder brother came out of the palace, and it was already reflected in the West Mountain outside, and the sunset was all over the sky. He took a deep breath and looked at the distant mountains and the near view, only to feel that his thoughts were complicated.

When the saint set off, Cao Hao went to the garden and met privately with the sixteenth elder brother.

At that time, Cao Hao was a little lazy and said: "I have been a few times in the past, and I don't have time to wander, but this time I want to take the opportunity to appreciate the scenery of the lake and the mountains and be a few idle people." When the sixteenth master arrives, let's find another reason to go to Shengjing, I heard that the sauerkraut pot over there tastes the most beautiful, and the sauerkraut is the most authentic. ”

The sixteenth elder brother felt weird when he heard it, because although sauerkraut was recorded in "Zhou Li", and the method of pickling sauerkraut with cabbage was also mentioned in "Qi Min Yaoshu", but sauerkraut really entered the homes of ordinary people after the Eight Banners entered the customs, in the early years of Shunzhi.

I haven't heard that sauerkraut arose from Shengjing, where is it mentioned that authentic is not authentic.

The sixteenth elder brother raised doubts in his heart, and Cao Hao realized that the history of sauerkraut popularization among the people is only a few decades.

"Everything in the world is knowledge, and how many years of history should it be." Cao Hao said.

When the sixteenth elder brother saw his serious appearance, he shook his head and laughed at him for attaching too much importance to his appetite.

Cao Hao listened to it and pretended to say: "The sixteenth master doesn't know, my family Hengsheng said that he is happy to eat meat." Although it is a childish word, it is true. This life is not the word 'eat and drink'. Those who can't eat want to be full, those who are full want to eat well, those who eat well think about eating delicately, and those who eat delicately don't know what to eat. ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard his words, he really couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "According to Fu Ruo, throughout the ages, those heroes and talents have left their names in history, and they are also for 'eating and drinking'?" ”

"'Eat and drink' sometimes, not only 'eat and drink'. Sometimes, if you don't eat, you eat, you eat location, you eat status. If you get the position and identity you want, it is to eat bran vegetables, and they are willing to eat it. If you lose your soul, I am afraid that it is the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and it also tastes the same as chewing wax. Sixteenth master, you see, no matter what it turns into, in the end, it still has to be reflected in eating and drinking. Happy eating meat? Eat meat and be happy! Cao Hao replied very comfortably.

In the past few years, Cao Hao has been like a little old man, and it is rare to have such a comfortable time after being busy with this and that. When the sixteenth elder brother saw it, he was quite pleased. It seems that resting like this is also a good thing, and it can also make Cao Hao feel a little more energetic.

Therefore, the sixteenth elder brother followed Cao Hao's words and talked about several delicacies in Shengjing.

The two of them, one is the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and the other is the prince's elder brother, just like this, by the sea in Changchun Garden, but they are talking about folk food seriously.

During this period, the sixteenth elder brother found several sneaky figures, and he was still smiling secretly in his heart at that time. He and Cao Hao stood by the sea for half an hour, and I am afraid that many people will be thinking nonsense.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, such a thing happened again, and the sixteenth elder brother withdrew from the palace, and he was upset.

Although the sunset is gorgeous and the spring water is beautiful, where can I get into the eyes of the sixteenth elder brother.

He withdrew his gaze and casually glanced around, only to see a familiar figure in the distance.

He lowered his head and thought about it, and ordered Zhao Feng, the eunuch who followed behind him, to summon the man over.

After a while, the man walked over with Zhao Feng, saluted a thousand times, and said, "The slave Cao Song has seen the sixteenth master, please say hello to the sixteenth master." ”

"Well, Ann, get up! Do you follow suit? Why haven't I seen you a few days ago? Brother Sixteen asked.

Cao Song got up and said with a bit of respect: "Back to the sixteenth master, the slave was originally resting, because a few guards in the outer class contracted dysentery and returned to the capital to recuperate. ”

"I see, Ye remembers, those sick guards disembarked from the half-wall shop. When did you arrive? The fast horse chased the royal boat from the capital, and it was hard to think about it. The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said.

"It's all the duty of a slave, and I don't dare to work hard. Originally, I arrived at Duan Village yesterday morning, because the imperial boat had already anchored, and I rode horses along the way, and I only got on the boat at night. Cao Song bowed and replied.

The sixteenth elder brother waved his hand at Cao Song and said, "There is no need to be so restrained, after two years of errand, you can almost learn this rule." There is no one else here, so it's better to be comfortable in private. Ye just received an errand from the imperial front, and Ming'er is going to Rehe for a while, and he wants to bring a few people over. If you are relieved, the master will order you from the guard's office. ”

When Cao Song heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly grinned: "Sixteen masters, there is no short, there is no short, there is no short, I am willing to serve the sixteenth master!" ”

"Yes. Then listen to Ah Ling's words, count you in. You should be on duty, and rest after the shift. Before the Ming'er Imperial Boat set off, let's get off the boat. After speaking, he took Zhao Feng to the back of the ship.

Cao Song was still overjoyed, rubbed his hands, and muttered: "Rehe's errand, isn't it to see my brother......"

However, thinking of his wife who had a body at home, he remembered that he didn't ask when the sixteenth elder brother would come back.

* Rehe, Chunwangfu Garden, West Courtyard.

This is the temporary residence of Cao Hao and his wife, with five main rooms, three hugging houses on each side, and row houses at the back. The female dependents who came with her lived here, and it was quite spacious.

As the twilight grew darker, the room was already lit up.

Because Cao Hao was not bad, the family ate three meals, so the table was removed here.

Tianhui sat on the kang, and there were seven or eight things in front of her, including pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some small silver bowls and chopsticks. She picked up something, picked it up and put it on the other side, muttering the corresponding name in her small mouth: "Inkstone...... Bowl...... Dish...... Paperweight ......"

Cao Hao sat next to him, seeing that his daughter was busy, and asked Chu Yu: "This is a good way to recognize things, and I also learned to speak by the way, what did you come up with?" ”

"It was Wu En and Qi Niang who came up with it, and the two of them can play together." Chu Yu replied with a smile: "How can Vanilla be willing to let Qi Niang live here?" Look at her, she really took Qi Niang as a girl. When we got here, we had to work hard, and we had to sew several clothes. I didn't see it, Qi Niang finally stopped pretending to be a tomboy today, and she looked like a little girl. Not a moment idle, very naughty. But it's not annoying, it's only been two days here, and she is rare inside and out. It would be nice if Niuniu was here, and I designated to be able to play with her. ”

Cao Hao listened with a smile, and it happened that Tianhui took the chopsticks and called them "pen", so he picked up the brush, stuffed it into Tianhui's left hand and said: "This is a pen, and the chopsticks are chopsticks." The chopsticks are thick at one end and thin at the other, and they are a little cold to the touch, and they are made of silver. This pole is made of bamboo, it doesn't feel cool to the touch, and there is a small hairy hair at one end, Tianhui touches it. ”

Tianhui followed Cao Hao's words, touched it carefully, and said in a milky voice: "Yes, pen, chopsticks......" said, put down the things in his hand, waved his little arm in the direction of Cao Hao's voice, grabbed Cao Hao's arm, and said: "This, Daddy......"

Among the three brothers and sisters of Tianyou, Tianyou and Hengsheng both call Cao Hao and Chu Yu "father" and "mother", only Tianhui is called different.

Because she was born in childbirth, her body was weak, and she was afraid that she would not be able to support her, so she learned the old folk customs and sent her name in the temple. When he was a little older, when he was learning to speak, Chu Yu was not called "mother" here, but "mother". is afraid that the parents' relationship is thin, which means that foster care is here, which means that it is easy to pull.

Cao Hao saw it here, but he didn't have anything to say. He originally wanted the girl to call "Daddy" twice, but after all, in the eyes of the world, it was too weird, so he only said it twice in the house, and still asked Tianhui to call him "Daddy".

Chu Yu sat on the side, watching the father and daughter talk, thinking that her husband had no appetite, he put down the bowl after only a few bites, and said, "Isn't the forehead talking about the puff pastry and dumplings here and what the bowl is delicious, otherwise people will buy some for supper?" ”

In Cao Hao's mind, he was thinking about his own thousand and one ways to die.

From ancient times to the present, there has been no shortage of imperial ministers who have died of murder, but only a handful have died of assassination.

The martial arts master who walks on the wall is just a legendary character, if he is really invulnerable, the master of the Hongmen Gate back then will not die a miserable death, and Wei Hei will not be blind.

Cao Jia and others will not be imprisoned, and then received Cao Yin's favor and lived in Cao Mansion.

If you assassinate in person, how many people and what kind of skills will be needed to deal with the guards around Cao Hao? If you don't assassinate you in front of you, wouldn't it be easier to kill them with poison and then cut off your head when you stop the spirit?

Seeing that Cao Hao was silent, Chu Yu asked, "Don't you like these two kinds of food?" Then look at the others, or send people to buy some of everything, and there will always be one to satisfy the appetite. ”

Cao Hao came to his senses at this time, raised his head and looked at his wife a few times, a little hesitant.

The "guests" brought by this "reward" will not be one or two, and the words to prevent in the future are not one or two, if there is amethyst in the inner house, you can also let amethyst pay attention in private. Amethyst is not there, and no matter how muddy Chu Yu is, it will be easy for people to take advantage of loopholes.

"It's the entrance thing, or forget it. Catch up with Ming'er and find a recipe and let the kitchen do it. Cao Hao thought for a moment and said, "By the way, there are some things that I want to talk to you about, and you must know it in your heart." ”

Chu Yu nodded and instructed Xicai to take Tianhui to the East House.

There were only two husband and wife left in the house, in order not to frighten Chu Yu and make her too worried, Cao Hao concealed the matter of "offering a reward of 10,000 taels of gold", only saying that it was because of the bidding of the Internal Affairs Office, which offended the villain, and he should take more precautions recently.

Rao is like this, Chu Yu's face has changed.

She pulled Cao Hao's sleeve, frowned, and said, "E, since those people are so lawless, it is good to report to the police and arrest them all." ”

"It's just that the wind has gotten and they're all hiding in the shadows, where is it easy to catch?" Cao Hao touched his wife's hair and said, "Don't worry too much. I'm telling you this because I want you to pay attention to it, some of the food in the inner house has to be purchased outside. Pay attention to those things, so that people can get more live chickens and ducks to come and try them. Although the other party may not be like this, it is better to be safe just in case. ”

Chu Yu's face was still pale, but his emotions gradually calmed down.

She answered, got up on the kang, and turned out a blue satin bag in the kang cabinet.

When it was opened, it was a piece of soft armor woven with gold thread and silk.

"Where did this come from......" Cao Hao asked when he saw that it was not ordinary.

"It was given by Amma, and it was given by the emperor when he followed the emperor in his early years. Last autumn, I was seriously injured outside my forehead, and when Amma got the news, he asked me to go over and gave me this, saying that I would keep it for you to use later. Because there is only this one, I am afraid that Hongshu and Hongzhuo will say that they are eccentric, so they didn't let me publicize it. Chu Yu replied.

Dense silk, there are more than ten or twenty layers. Although it is soft to the touch, it is very tough because of the addition of gold thread.

"It's a good thing, but it's Father-in-law Lao who bothered it!" Cao Hao touched the soft armor, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile.

Chu Yu smiled on his face, but his eyes were a little worried.

The husband and wife rested early.

Cao Haoyuan was a little tired, so he lay down after changing his clothes, thinking about what he said. Chu Yu's side was a little abnormal, after untying her clothes, she took the initiative to snuggle up to her husband, pillowed her head on Cao Hao's shoulder socket, and touched the scar on Cao Hao's chest with her small hands.

In the morning, Chuyu bathed and washed her hair, and there was a faint smell of soaphorn in her hair.

Although she doesn't usually like rouge gouache, she often uses rose oil after bathing, so her body is slippery and has a faint fragrance.

The two are a young couple who sleep under the same bed.

Cao Hao was naked, Chu Yu was just a belly pocket, his body was next to each other, and this little hand kept rubbing, Cao Hao's side was inevitably moved.

Due to the fatigue on the road, the husband and wife have not been in London for several years.

In Cao Hao's head, he suddenly remembered the two stacked wine cups at the wedding, and turned over and pressed Chu Yu under him.

Earlier, Chu Yu was ashamed, soft on the kang, and let Cao Hao do it. Tonight was abnormal, she reached out and put her arms around her husband's neck, raised her head, and her small mouth had already pecked Cao Hao's face. Immediately, like a chicken pecking rice, he kissed Cao Hao on the neck.

Cao Hao only felt a tingle, and his body was already stiff.

It was the beginning of the month, there was no moonlight, and the room was very dark.

Although he couldn't see his wife's face clearly, Cao Hao still felt a little novel. The husband and wife have been married for five or six years, and they can be regarded as old husbands and wives, but after all, Chu Yu was raised by various rules and etiquette, and there are still some things in the room that can't be let go.

This is the first time to take such initiative.

"The forehead is tired, Chu Yu is here to serve the forehead......" Chu Yu whispered in Cao Hao's ear, and his little hands were no longer honest.

In the room, only the sound of coarse breathing remained...... This toss, but it took a long time for the husband and wife to fall asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.

Chu Yu had already gotten up, although she was still smiling demurely, but it seemed to be a little different. It has a sweet and attractive flavor as if it were ripe.

Cao Hao looked at his wife's red lips, remembering last night's lingering, and his body couldn't help but feel hot.

Chu Yu asked with a little doubt: "E, where is the official uniform?" Yesterday, I sent someone to the front yard, but it seems that I didn't send it back, so I don't need to wear an official uniform? ”
