Cao Mansion, living room.

With tears in her eyes, Cao Yi bowed down in front of Yongqing and Yongsheng: "If it weren't for protecting me, Sister Yongjia wouldn't have hurt her arm, it's all the fault of the little sister, and the little sister will make amends to the two Wanyan brothers!" ”

Cao Yi is a typical southern woman, not tall and slightly thin. Compared with a northern woman like Baoya, she is more delicate.

"Don't complain about the third sister, speaking of which, it's all mine! Sister Yongjia didn't want to come out today, but she forced me to pull it out so that she could catch up with such a change! Bao Ya pouted, her face full of annoyance.

Although Yongqing is worried about his sister, he has no idea of being angry and being fought, and even Cao Yan will not blame him, let alone blame the two little girls at the moment. He stretched out his hand and helped Cao Yi weakly: "Sister of the Cao family, hurry up, it's just an accident, what does it have to do with you?" - It's all the fault of the murderer! ”

Yongsheng was very angry, but when he saw the two girls in front of him competing to admit his mistake, he went to seven points unhappily, and the only thing left was pity. After listening to his brother's words, he also opened his mouth to comfort: "Gege, Miss Cao, don't blame yourself too much, who would have thought of such a change!" ”

Looking at Cao Yan, who was silent beside him, Yongqing Zhengse said: "In broad daylight, you dare to be so presumptuous, those people are simply lawless!" Xiao Cao, friends are not made for nothing, although your relatives are not in Beijing, but there are me and Ning Chun, how old are you, you are considered brothers, but wherever you can use it, just open your mouth! ”

Cao Yan's heart warmed, and he nodded: "This province is from this province, naturally there are times when the two brothers are tired!" ”

After saying that, Brother Wanyan proposed to take his sister home again, but Yongjia happened to drink the medicine and was now asleep; The second is Baoya's insistence, since the imperial doctor said not to move, it is better to follow the doctor's instructions, otherwise who can take care of it if there is one? Therefore, the Wanyan brothers failed to take Yongjia away after all, and after the two went to the bamboo courtyard to see their sister, they went back to the house on their own.

Before dinner, a group of maids and maids came to the county king's mansion, all of whom were in Baoya's house, knowing that Baoya was going to take care of Yongjia here, so Nersu and Cao Jia sent them over to wait. There are only a dozen rooms in the main room of the bamboo courtyard, where can these people be accommodated? Fortunately, the chrysanthemum courtyard has lived in a few days ago, and now it can live after burning the kang, so Amethyst asked Baoya to leave two personal waiters, and the others were temporarily placed in the chrysanthemum.

Because he thought that Wanyan Mansion was afraid that he would also send someone over, Amethyst also deliberately left two houses, and he didn't want to wait for a long time but there was no movement. Yongjia didn't have a personal maid by her side, and Amethyst arranged for hairpins and huan'er to come over to serve.

Although the case has an eyebrow, but the person who bought the murderer has not yet been found, how can Cao Yan feel at ease? The other party is actually going to Cao Yin, I don't know if it's an enemy on the Jiangnan side? It's just that if he is an enemy of Jiangnan, how can he buy a murderer in Gyeonggi and pick such a group of unpopular guys? If it is an enemy in the capital, it is a little unreasonable, Cao Yin only returns to Beijing once in a year or two, where is the opportunity to make enemies with others? That Wanjiu is a ruffian in Tongzhou, and it seems that he has to go to Tongzhou to find clues. It's just that right now, even if he submits an application for personal leave, there is still a process of approval. As for the signature of the father-in-law, it seems that it will trouble the brother-in-law.

The remaining two who escaped had to be found out as soon as possible, so as not to regenerate branches. Cao Hao discussed with the Wei brothers and went out to see the scene in person.

Coming to Tao Ranju, Wei Hei pointed to the inconspicuous teahouse not far away, "Childe, that's the teahouse." He also pointed to the mouth of the alley not far from the teahouse, "After that, the gangsters took advantage of the chaos to escape from there." ”

Because this street is full of shops, and there is a Tao Ranju, it has almost become a commercial area, and several alleys that communicate with this street are occupied by borrowed stalls and vendors, who eat fruits and sell everything. At that time, there was a mess in front of the VIP building, and all the hawkers were afraid of being affected, so they all packed up their stalls to hide, who could care to see if someone had escaped from this side, and even if they looked at it, they didn't dare to care, who would still pay attention to the whereabouts of the gangsters.

Therefore, Cao Hao and the three of them inquired around, but found nothing. As soon as he came out of the alley, he suddenly heard someone shouting Cao Hao, but it was Nalan Fusen who came over on a horse.

After seeing each other, Nalan Fusen had a worried face and said, "I just came to the VIP building, and I heard that there were some accidents in your mansion." I still want to go to visit after finishing my mundane affairs, what is happening now? ”

Cao Hao said: "If you have Brother Laofusen to worry about you, it doesn't hurt to leave your family." The case was accepted by the Shuntian Mansion, and the murderer is still being arrested. ”

Nalan Fusen nodded and said, "It's okay for the family to be fine." These villains are so bold that they dare to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven! ”

Cao Hao didn't want to mention it again, so he diverged and said, "How ...... is Brother Fusen here?" ”

Nalan Fusen said: "I followed my two uncles to give my brother-in-law a trip, I originally went to the VIP Building, but I came to know that something had happened, and the VIP Building is not open for guests today." Just now, I saw from afar that it was Brother Cao, so I came to speak. After that, he took Cao Hao over to the VIP building and introduced him to his two uncles and brother-in-law.

The two uncles in Nalan Fusen's mouth are Mingzhu's second son Yu Xu and third son Yu Fang, and the brother-in-law is the famous Nian Qianyao - Nian Qianyao married Nalan Rongruo's second daughter as his wife. Although this Nalan family has passed away for many years, the relationship between Nian Qianyao and the Nalan family has always been very good. At this time, Nian Qianyao had just been released as governor of Sichuan, and the Nalan family came to the VIP building to set up a banquet for him.

Cao Hao followed behind him, and said in his heart, there are really a lot of celebrities today, and he saw the legendary Shi Gong in the lobby, and now he is going to see the legendary Nian Qianyao.

These people are also from the second rank of the seniors, and any of them are higher than Cao Hao's official rank, but because they wore civilian clothes, Cao Hao only greeted him as a junior, and both Xu Xu and Fang received his salute and greeted him with a smile, and Nian Qianyao arched his hand as a return gift.

Nian Qianyao is a little more handsome than Cao Hao imagined, with white skin, short beard, and a crab shell green robe, and he looks quite Confucian on the whole, only a hooked nose shows a bit of martial temperament. Cao Hao didn't feel any domineering or haze from him, but he couldn't detect any warmth.

Nian Qianyao basically didn't talk much, but when he heard that Cao Hao was Cao Yin's son, he smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is now in Jiangning as the Yixing County Commander, so I have to ask my younger brother to say a few kind words in front of Shi Weng and take care of him." ”

Cao Hao only knew that Nian Qianyao's sister gave the fourth elder brother, the famous Nian concubine, and didn't know that he still had a brother-in-law as an official in Jiangning.

Among the people, only the attitude is surprisingly good, and he always speaks with a loving smile like an elder, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. It's just that this person is a hardcore Eighth Master Party, and Cao Hao has heard for a long time that he is good at snaring henchmen, and he is not interested in being tied to the shipwreck of the Eighth Master, so he is naturally not enthusiastic about him.

Everyone said a few words, and then they went to drink their wine, and Cao Hao took the Wei brothers back home.

*

For dinner, Cao Yan ate with Cao Song, Mr. Zhuang Xi, and the Wei brothers. Seeing that the two brothers' clothes were casually tucked and their braids were not very neat, Cao Yan inevitably brought up the old words again, and once again persuaded Wei Hei and Wei Bai to consider the matter of getting married.

When he first entered Beijing, Cao Yan had persuaded the Wei brothers, but both of them were casual people and were unwilling to start a family and be constrained. In the past six months, if the two of them want a woman, they will go to the hospital to find a pleasing woman to sleep with for two nights, and then throw away the silver, pat their butts and leave. There were also girls who fell in love with the two brothers and were willing to follow them for a long time, but they looked down on the happy woman, so they were always single.

Hearing Cao Yan say that he wanted to ask a matchmaker to help the two brothers say goodbye, Wei Hei still shook his head: "Son, don't bother about this!" Women's families are too troublesome, and there are many women outside, so they want to sleep and spend money, but they don't want to ask for it! ”

Wei Bai seemed to loosen up, glanced at Cao Yan, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Mr. Zhuang is an old man, and after looking at Wei Bai's expression, he pouted at Cao Xuannu.

Cao Yan asked with a smile: "Second Brother Wei doesn't have a crush on which lady's show, no matter who it is, I will deal with you!" ”

Wei Bai said with a smile: "I'm a big boss, which lady can look up to me?" Childe, I saw that Fangcha was good-looking...... I don't hide it from my son, since I have seen her, any woman in the kiln is in my eyes, it is all sows! ”

"Fangcha?" When Cao Song heard this, he disagreed, and pouted: "Where is that girl good-looking?" Walking and twisting, talking in a sharp voice, because of the grandmother's training, and looking down on everyone! ”

"Hahahaha!" Wei Bai wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "The second son is still young, I don't know if a woman is spicy enough!" Women,Just need to be trained.。 That day, she came out to give the third lady a cloak, and I looked straight at it. She glared at me fiercely, and I immediately felt a lot more comfortable, and then ...... This heart, hehe, this heart is like a cat scratching, and I can't let it go anymore! ”

If Wei Bai had taken a fancy to the young lady outside, Cao Yan would definitely not hesitate to ask someone to propose marriage immediately; But he didn't expect that he fell in love with Fangcha. Although Fangcha is the maidservant of the Cao family, Cao Yan has no good impression of her, but she is unwilling to help her set up a marriage. Although he will not talk about "everyone is equal", he will not dominate other people's lives because of his status.

After hesitating for a moment, Cao Yan said to Wei Bai: "I am the answer to this matter." But you have to make it clear to Second Brother Wei, Fangcha's surname is Zilie, you also know, if she responds and doesn't say it, you don't need the second brother to bother a little bit about doing family affairs, I will give the second brother a big one; But if she refuses to respond, we can't embarrass her, and I hope that Second Brother Wei will be more open-minded! ”

Wei Bai responded happily: "That's nature!" I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run, I don't know about marrying a wife, but I also understand a reason, the twisted melon is not sweet! In the end, my wife is not a woman in the kiln, she has slept and slept, she is not happy, and she wants to live happily. ”

The whole table laughed, but Cao Song seemed to understand whether he understood or not, seeing that people were laughing, he also laughed again, and then clicked his eyes and asked Wei Bai what he meant, Wei Bai patted him on the shoulder, "The second son will know when he is older." ”

Cao Song snorted and muttered, "Who is small?!" So he buried himself in eating and stopped talking.
