The next time, Cao Hao got up as early as a few days ago, thinking that he wanted to ask for a period of leave in the palace. Cao Yi's illness had to be taken care of, and Cao Song had to accompany him to Zhaojia Mansion to ask for peace. This is what it feels like to be an elder brother, either worried about here or there, for fear that there is a little bit of inconsiderate thinking and not being able to take care of it. Cao Hao thought of his brother in his previous life, who was nearly twenty years older than himself, and he thought that he was in the same mood for himself!

Seeing Cao Hao's face with sentimentality, Amethyst thought that he was worried about Cao Yi's side, and comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, the third girl's side was arranged inside and out yesterday!" ”

Cao Hao remembered one thing: "Why didn't you see vanilla in the room over there?" I went there twice yesterday and didn't see it. ”

Amethyst groaned for a moment: "Vanilla, the situation is not good!" ”

"What's wrong? Tired from the journey, not adapting to the water and soil? Why didn't anyone talk about it yesterday, this can't be delayed, ask someone to see the disease early! Cao Hao asked.

Amethyst shook her head: "It's not because of these, speaking of which, Vanilla is a good girl who is dedicated to protecting the Lord." When Aunt Zhang was about to beat the third girl, she stopped in front and was caught on the face, leaving two scars. After all, she was a girl, and she didn't want to see anyone with such a face, so she took the initiative to ask for the errand of decocting medicine for the third girl, and the cat was in the kitchen. ”

Cao Hao frowned: "Have you seen it, is it serious?" ”

Amethyst hesitated and replied: "The two marks on the left cheek are more than an inch long, although it has been more than forty days, but they can still be seen." I asked Zhang Gen's family, and I have asked someone to see it in the south, and there is no good way, but I just said that I use pearl powder to slowly recuperate. ”

Cao Hao nodded: "As long as there is a way to govern it, don't worry about money, if there is no one in the house, arrange someone to go out to purchase." Their mother and daughter have taken care of Ping'er for many years, and they are very dedicated, and this time they are preventing disasters for Ping'er. It's just that you can't stay in the kitchen, and the fumes are not good for wound healing. Find a way to arrange some needlework for her, and raise it cleanly. ”

Bamboo Courtyard, East Warm Pavilion.

Cao Yi only felt cold all over his body in a trance, standing alone at the door of the weaving mansion, looking at the closed vermilion lacquer gate, as if he was in a different world, and the white water behind him seemed to be the boundless ocean. The water, rising higher and higher for no reason, gradually rose above her waist, and she was at a loss for what to do, but the surface of the water suddenly swelled with evil waves, whistling and rushing towards her. She was so frightened that she hurriedly banged on the door of the Weaving Mansion and shouted miserably: "Mother, Mother!" Brother, brother!! ”

But no matter how much she shouted, the door was always closed, and there was no sign of it opening, and she clung to the knocker in the beast's mouth, and at last she could not help but howl and weep, and the waves fell down, and her face could no longer distinguish between tears and water, and only a cold, piercing heart.

……

Zhang Genjia heard the movement, hurried over, and knew that Cao Yiwei had arrived, so he pushed her and said, "Girl, girl, wake up!" ”

Cao Yi Huoran opened his eyes, but there was no focus in his eyes, and he let Zhang Genjia wipe his tears, his face was not fresh, and he muttered in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.

Zhang Gen's family looked sad, and listened carefully, only to know that Cao Yi was calling "brother" and "brother", and his heart became more and more sad, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, the night was still thick, and he comforted: "Girl, sleep again, and the uncle will come when the day dawns!" ”

While I heard Suosuo, it was the sound of Fangcha getting up and getting dressed.

Zhang Gen's family put Cao Hao's tent away, and whispered to Fang Cha next to him: "The girl has been bad for a while, I heard the crying in the outhouse, and the girl should be careful at night!" ”

When Fangcha heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it true that only your mother and daughter are loyal, and everyone else is lazy?" Is it a great sin to sit on these boats, to be tired, and to sleep deeply? As he spoke, his voice grew louder and louder.

Zhang Gen's fear frightened Cao Yi, who had just been lying down, argued with Fangcha, and turned back to the outhouse.

Fangcha was still not angry, and muttered: "Where is your turn to say that I am a good bully?" ”

Outside the Qianqing Palace, go to the study.

Cao Hao came early, waiting for the sixteenth elder brother to come over, so as to inquire about asking for leave. Right now, he is not alone in the house, and he has been promoted to a parent, so he naturally has to settle his younger brothers and sisters properly, so that he can rest assured.

The sixteenth elder brother will not arrive until the second quarter of Yinzheng (half past four in the morning), and when he came in, he said with great interest: "You went back early yesterday, and Yuan Tian was named the champion of martial arts, and it was not in vain that we praised him for a long time, which is well deserved." Guanlu is the eye of the example, Han Guangyue is a flower, and he wants to pass on the golden palace today. ”

Cao Hao is not surprised, Tian Jian is excellent in riding and shooting, even if he is not the champion, he can't run the first. At the moment, he was not in the mood to care about those martial artists, so he whispered to the sixteenth elder brother about the relevant matters of asking for leave.

Hearing that Cao Hao wanted to take ten days off, the sixteenth elder brother shook his head busily: "Where is the leave to go to the study?" If it is a sick leave, you need a medical list issued by the doctor, and then someone from the internal affairs department will come to verify it; If it is a personal leave, it must be written by the elder and handed it over to the palace three days in advance, and the master here can take a leave of absence only if the master agrees. ”

Cao Hao didn't expect it to be so troublesome, and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "My younger brothers and sisters are here, they arrived yesterday afternoon, I have to take care of them these days!" If ten days is not good, what about today and tomorrow? ”

The sixteenth elder brother rolled his eyes twice, asked Cao Hao to come over with his ear, and then muttered in his ear for a while.

Cao Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this, although this is not a good idea, but there is no other way at present. Thinking of this, he stood up and went to the toilet before the teacher arrived.

There are no fixed toilets in the Forbidden City, and the toilet room in the study is in a small room behind it, with two partitions, each with a commode.

"Vomiting up and down diarrhea", diarrhea can't be diarrhea, only vomiting. Cao Hao walked into a partition and began to induce vomiting with his fingers. The method provided by the sixteenth elder brother is also simple, but it is just "pretending to be sick", but because there is an imperial doctor in the palace, someone is sick in the study, and the master will immediately invite someone to come to diagnose and treat it, which is still pretending to be presentable. Vomit a few times first, and then when the imperial doctor comes, he will be sure that he is uncomfortable, so it should not be difficult to take a day or two.

Cao Hao only drank half a bowl of porridge before he came out, and after vomiting twice, there was nothing left in his stomach, but thinking that the sixteenth elder brother had instructed him to vomit at least three times before he could appear weak, he had to continue.

During this period, I heard footsteps, and it seemed that someone was coming to pay respects.

When Cao Hao vomited three times and came out of the partition, he was facing the seventeenth elder brother Yinli's very annoyed face.

"Seventeen Ye An!" Cao Hao rubbed his throat and said.

The seventeenth elder brother looked at Cao Hao with sparkling eyes, and asked, "Cao Hao, are you 'sick'?" ”

Cao Hao nodded a little weakly, and the seventeenth elder brother smiled and said: "You came early today, but it is cheaper for you, originally my father planned to be 'sick' today!" With that, he turned around and went out.

Cao Hao couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that this trick was a panacea, whoever caught him used it, but today it was "fortunately" and his own "early".

Although the process was a little nauseous, and the eyes of the imperial doctor who came to see the patient flickered, Cao Hao finally got his wish and took two sick days.

*

When he returned to Cao's Mansion, the sky was already slightly bright, and as soon as Cao Hao entered the door, he saw a figure standing at the door of the front hall, which was Cao Yi.

Cao Yi saw Cao Hao coming back and ran out of the hall: "Brother didn't leave, brother is back!" Behind him, Amethyst, Fangcha, Zhang Genjia and others followed a lot.

Seeing Cao Yi's crumbling appearance, Cao Hao hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him: "It's cold in the morning, what are you doing here?" ”

"My brother didn't leave, my brother is back!" Cao Yi was still saying these two sentences over and over again.

Cao Hao looked at Cao Yi's stupid expression, he was really distressed, and gently pulled Cao Yi's hand: "Well, brother didn't leave, brother is back!" Ping'er, let's go to my yard and let Amethyst prepare something for you to eat! ”

Cao Yi nodded obediently, let Cao Hao lead him, and went to Kwai Courtyard.

Lying on the soft couch in the warm pavilion, Cao Yi was coaxed to drink half a bowl of porridge and half a bowl of medicine, and then Cao Yi slowly fell asleep.

Cao Hao was puzzled, he saw Cao Yi before going to bed yesterday, why did he not look as awake today as he was yesterday? After leaving the warm pavilion, he turned his head and asked Zhang Genjia, who was following behind: "Last night was fine, what's wrong today?" ”

Before Zhang Gen's family could speak, Fangcha hurriedly replied: "Uncle, the girl has a nightmare in the middle of the night, crying and shouting for half a night, and she will find the uncle when she wakes up." Because it was still dark, the slave coaxed the girl to sleep again, saying that the uncle would come over at dawn. As a result, the girl waited until the sky was bright, and then got up to freshen up, saying that she would wait for the uncle! The slave sent someone to invite the uncle, and Amethyst came over to say that the uncle had gone to school, and the girl had to wait in front of her, and no one would persuade her! ”

Cao Hao glanced at Fangcha: "It's hard for you to bother!" Then he said to Amethyst: "Ping'er is wearing that robe, which you made a few days ago, please ask the tailor to make some winter clothes!" ”

Amethyst replied: "The slave is provincial, I was going to send someone to call after breakfast!" Not only the third girl, but also the second master, and the two masters who went north to make some cotton clothes. ”

Cao Hao nodded, looked at Zhang Gen's family, who couldn't hide his tiredness, and then glanced at the glorious Fangcha, and waved his hand to the two: "Girl, there are a few pearls waiting for you first, you worked hard last night, go down and rest!" ”

Fangcha listened, paused, seemed to want to say something, looked at Amethyst's gaze, only lowered his head, answered, and retreated with Zhang Gen's family.
