The few gentlemen around the carriage were all children of rich families living nearby, seventeen or eighteen years old, which was the age of idleness. Because they happened to encounter a carriage broken here, seeing that the other party was not the carriage of the official eunuchs, they relied on their courage and came up to make a fuss.

Han Jiang's family came out of his uncle's garden and wanted to go back to the city, in addition to the personal maid, he originally brought two male servants. Because the carriage was broken, one was sent back to the garden to pick up the carriage, but only one was left here.

When encountering these gentlemen making trouble, the manservant came forward to intercede and showed a southern accent, which made these gentlemen more and more emboldened. Under the entanglement, even the car curtain was removed. Although Han Jiang is dressed as a woman, she is young and beautiful, which makes these boys even more unable to let go.

Now seeing Cao Hao getting out of the car, wearing an official uniform, a few gentlemen are a little weak-hearted. However, among them, there are fathers and brothers who are officials in the court, and when they see that Cao Hao is just a five-grade top, they also look down on him.

Although Han Jiang saluted Cao Hao, seeing that he did not come forward, he was a little puzzled in his heart. After thinking about it again, I remembered that although I had interacted with him several times, they were all through the screen or wearing a veil, and it was the first time that I had no makeup like this. Therefore, she whispered to the maid.

The maid knew that her young lady had business dealings with the Cao family in Jiangnan, and she also recognized that the person standing across the road was the uncle of the Cao family who had seen him in Jiangning.

Although I don't know how big this Cao family uncle is, with the Cao family's power in Jiangnan, it won't be small. The maid was a little more courageous, no longer as scared as Fang Cai, got out of the carriage, across the road, leaned over to Cao Hao and said, "The maid dares to ask this lord is the uncle of the Cao family?" ”

Because Cao Hao got out of the car, Zhang Yi and others also got off the horse.

Cao Hao came to his senses, suppressed his doubts, and took two steps forward and said, "It's Cao, is it Mrs. Han in the car?" ”

The maid smiled and said: "It is my young lady who recognized Uncle Cao and asked the maid to come down and ask!" ”

Those gentlemen, when they saw that they asked and answered, were a little annoyed. There was a fat man, looking at Cao Hao's official uniform, hesitated for a moment, and finally got his courage and said: "Master doesn't care what kind of adult you are, this woman's carriage hinders the way of the master, startles the master's horse, don't be troublesome." Hmph, don't blame the master for not giving face. ”

These words were quite imposing, which made the others can't help but echo loudly.

Zhang Yi and Zhao Tong are beside them, where can they tolerate others being so rude? Ren Shuyong and Ren Jiyong were good at kung fu, so they wanted to step forward to teach them a lesson, but they were stopped by Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong sneered: "What grade are you, dare to call 'master' in front of my family?" Open your dog's eyes and take a closer look at the car of my lord, do you still want to commit the following crimes and go to the Yamen of the Infantry Army? ”

Because they were afraid of Cao Hao's hard work, Cao Fang and the others deliberately found out Cao Yin's carriage, which was customized according to the earl's grade a few years ago last year.

The fat man originally had a seven-rank knight on his body, and his father and brother were also Beijing officials, so he didn't take Cao Hao, a five-rank civil official, in his eyes. Now that I heard Zhao Tong say this, I remembered to look at the carriage here. He also heard that the other party did not mention the Shuntianfu Yamen, but that the infantry army was in charge of the Yamen, which was obviously under the flag, so he was speechless.

Cao Hao looked at Zhao Tong with approval, and it didn't mean anything to make trouble with these idle children. The matter is a big deal, and I can't keep the imperial historians on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate from using the topic to play and impeach something. It's better to do this, and "bully others" to make them honest.

Although he didn't want to be so cheap for these bad boys, Cao Hao didn't bother to take care of them because he was worried about something.

A few fox friends and dog friends around the fat man didn't know about these people, they were very fearless because of the number of people, and they didn't put Cao Hao's master and servant in their eyes, and they were still muttering, endlessly.

The fat man was so noisy that he had a headache and shouted, "Shut up all of you!" ”

When everyone was honest, he blushed his face and hugged his fist at Cao Hao and said: "Since we look at this adult, then we will not see this woman in general, well, well, don't pass by!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Cao Hao's reaction, and hurriedly urged Chang Sui to lead the horse.

In a few moments, these people were already far.

Han Jiang's family was embarrassed because the curtain of the car had fallen, so he got out of the car generously and said, "The little woman thanked Uncle Cao for his help!" ”

Cao Hao stretched out his hand and said, "Mrs. Han doesn't have to be polite, but I didn't expect to meet the deceased here, this is to do business in Beijing?" Or looking for friends and relatives? ”

Although Cao Hao was just polite, Han Jiang didn't know how to respond. After thinking about it for a while, she said: "There are both, one is to visit my cousin, and the other is to see if there can be a suitable shop in Beijing." ”

It is really inconvenient to stand on the road and talk like this, Cao Hao has met this Han Jiang clan a few times, and knows that she has the most important rules, so he said cautiously: "Even if it is a chance encounter, Cao also wants to ask about the trading situation in Guangzhou." Because of the busy past two years, I can't take care of it, if it is convenient for Mrs. Han to go into the city to find a teahouse to sit in, how about it? ”

Although it is not considered a living person, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, Han Jiang's family wanted to refuse immediately, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he really had a little bit of the idea of doing business in the capital.

On Jiang Ning's side, since she had been filial piety for three years, several maternal uncles wanted to let her go one step further and try their best to be a matchmaker for her. On the Jiang family's side, they don't know where to find her fiancé's cousin, and they are also clamoring to divide her family property. She was really noisy, so she avoided her cousin in the capital.

She arrived in Beijing at the end of May, and said that she had traveled with Caofu's ship, and she had also met with Zhaojia's clan twice. Because she was a friend of the eldest daughter's boudoir in the past, and she pitied her as a young widow, Zhao Jia's treated her closely. knew that she went to the capital to join her uncle's family, and Zhao Jia's family also invited her to be a guest at Cao's Mansion in the future.

Because Han Jiang's surname is silent, he is not a person who likes to visit the door, and he also knows that the other party is an official eunuch, so he just said kind words, so he didn't take it seriously.

Although my uncle was of a higher grade in his early years, he has been gone for many years now, and his cousin is just a Hanlin, and he can't speak in the capital. The Cao family is different, in the past few months in Beijing, Han Jiang's uncle has praised Cao Hao many times, only saying that he is a young dignitary, and he is weak and crowned, and he is already a servant of the temple.

The Cao family itself is the earl's palace, and Cao Hao is an official in the court, not to mention that the Cao family still has several royal in-laws. Thinking of this, Han Jiang's heart suddenly felt bright. If you are alone, why should you stay in Jiangning and suffer pickled breath every once in a while?

After making up his mind, Han Jiang's family also had a relationship with Cao Haopan, so he nodded and responded: "Since it is ordered by the uncle, the little woman should obey it." ”

Cao Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that the Han Jiang clan would put out the score of Jiang Ning's time, and he would not be able to observe etiquette. If that was the case, he had no choice but to ask the Jiang family on the road if any of their daughters had been abducted in their early years.

Cao Hao was thinking about giving the carriage to the master and servant of the Han Jiang clan, when he saw a carriage coming on the east road, and it was the servant sent by the Han Jiang clan to fetch the carriage back.

Han Jiang took the maid, got into the new carriage, and entered the city with Cao Hao and his party.

Because it was still early, Cao Hao and his team walked half a street before they found a teahouse that was open for business. Because he looked quite clean, Cao Hao asked someone to ask, and knew that there was a private room, so he asked Han Jiang to get out of the carriage.

Following Cao Hao, Han Jiang was also a little apprehensive in his heart. In addition to her closest relatives, she was still so close to a man once. Although Cao Hao has always given people the impression of being a humble gentleman, he is a man after all, and he is a little reckless in the end.

Not to mention that Han Jiang's family is so careful, even Cao Hao has also seen Han Jiang's rules, and she is afraid that she will be a little uncomfortable and treat herself as a mad bee and butterfly.

After entering the private room, Cao Hao invited Han Jiang to sit down. Han Jiang's maid naturally stood behind her, and Cao Hao left Xiaoman in the room. The door of the private room was also open, and he was afraid of scaring away the Han Jiang clan, so he didn't have a chance to ask about Wen Xiu.

Except for Xiaoman, Zhang Yi, Zhao Tong, Ren Shuyong and Ren Jiyong didn't know Han Jiang's family, and everyone was surprised to see their uncle treat this woman so solemnly.

There are a few men who don't love sex. His uncle married the noble county lord Gege, and because of the face of the palace, it makes sense that he was unwilling to take a concubine. Could it be that this is out there? Looking at the woman is handsome, this plain dress, is she a little widow?

His uncle has always pitied the poor and the weak, and it is not surprising that he feels pity for the weak woman. Zhang Yi and the others stood at the door of the private room, squeezing their eyebrows, and they had already arranged several sets of stories in their hearts. But I don't want to think about it, except for the past few months with Suihu, they have been by their side in the past few years, and Cao Hao had a person.

Where would Cao Hao have thought that these elders were arranging themselves, but when he saw that they were blocked at the door, it was inconvenient for the teahouse guys to deliver tea, so he waved his hand and said: "You also got up in the middle of the night, go downstairs to ask for a few plates of snacks, let's pad it first." ”

Although several people were full of curiosity, they were not good at disobeying Cao Hao's words, so they reluctantly went downstairs.

Han Jiang touched the tea cup in his hand, but he was a little uncomfortable. Although she and Cao Hao are not the only ones in the room now, Zhang Yi's appearance of a few thieves also made her a little annoyed.

If you talk about business, why should you be this daughter. Han Jiang admonished himself, slowly calmed down, and said, "What Uncle Cao wants to ask, but as long as the little woman knows, she knows everything." It's just that I listened to the meaning of Wei Ye's letter a few days ago, like he wants to settle the general account with Qian Zhuang at the end of the year, but Uncle Cao doesn't know? ”

In the first two years, Wei Xin used the capital of Liuhe Qianzhuang to stock up on goods in Guangzhou due to the inconvenience of hand. This year, because Cao Hao sold a few pieces of land in Xiaotangshan in the capital, he had already written to Wei Xin to mention the matter. I wanted to come to Wei Xin because of this, and I didn't want to use the capital of Liuhe Qianzhuang anymore.

Cao Hao was in a hurry to talk to Han Jiang's family, but he forgot about this stubble, and when he heard her mention it, he remembered that the business of the two families was going to break up. Therefore, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Cao has not been in Beijing for most of the year, and he has not heard from Wei Xin for several months. However, I have heard him mention it before, so it is not that I don't know. ”

Han Jiang's family didn't have any other ideas about the dismantling of the gang, this was a consensual thing, and it was not something that could be forced. With the power of the Cao family, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't turn over their money a few years ago, they wouldn't have given the red interest to the Qian Zhuang side in vain.

After calculating it, it is only three years of hard work, and with this account, the income of the Han Jiang clan is already very rich. Although she is a businessman, she is not a greedy person.

After saying a few words, the atmosphere fell a little silent.

Cao Hao was impatient to come to these vain things again, so he smiled and said: "Although it is shallow, Cao Mou has a detailed inquiry, and I hope Mrs. Han will tell her the truth." ”

Seeing that he asked solemnly, Han Jiang's family also straightened up, and said solemnly: "Uncle Cao, please speak, if the little woman knows, she will not hide it." ”

Cao Hao thought of the hard-working woman who was breathing in his arms, although many years had passed, but his heart was indescribably sour. He sighed and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Han is the second in the family, who is Sister Ling?" ”

This question surprised Han Jiang's family, but she still answered truthfully: "The family is unfortunate, although the little woman has a sister, she has been abducted since she was a child. My father has been looking for many years in Jiangnan, but there is no news. ”

Cao Hao clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Her name...... Is her name Essay Embroidery? ”

Han Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and his face also showed excitement, and he immediately stood up and said, "The name of the sister is exactly what the uncle said, could it be that the uncle has seen the sister, where is she?" The little woman thinks about her sister and hopes that the uncle will tell her. ”

Cao Hao did not answer immediately, but continued to ask: "Do you have a Gui Garden at home?" ”

Han Jiang shook his head and said, "No ......" Speaking of this, he stopped speaking, shook his head and said: "No, there is, but then I don't know why, my father made people cut it down!" ”
