Chapter 56: The Heart Knot

Cao Hao's arm was nothing more than a skin injury, and it was almost healed. The sixteenth elder brother became a frequent visitor to the guard camp, because his surname was refreshing and he had no shelf, so the guards were happy to get close to this prince. It stands to reason that the prince should avoid befriending ministers and guards, but the sixteenth elder brother's biological mother is Han Chinese, and her rank in the harem is low, so she is not as powerful as other older princes. I don't know if it's just without desire, the sixteenth elder brother is not bound by power, but acts more freely, and no one will think that he has ulterior motives.

This said, the sixteenth elder brother went to Cao Hao's tent again.

The other guards in the same tent all went to be on duty, and Cao Hao asked Xiao Man to make two cups of tea.

The sixteenth elder brother sat on the small pestle, looked at Cao Hao, and said with a smile: "It's strange to say, when I saw you, I felt close, as if I had known you for many years." Although the sixteenth elder brother loves the self-proclaimed "master" and "master" in front of people, he rarely does this to Cao Hao in private.

It's not just the sixteenth elder brother who feels strange, Cao Hao also feels strange. From the first time he saw the sixteenth elder brother in front of Kangxi's sleeping tent, to the later opening to ask him to be a companion, to the first time he helped him settle the matter of the yellow flag, these sixteen elder brothers were too "favored" to him. He remembered that the biological mother of the sixteenth elder brother was his cousin, could it be that his mother had entrusted the palace after coming to Beijing?

The sixteenth elder brother saw Cao Hao's puzzled face, and said: "If you talk about it, I still want to call you cousin, but my brother and brother's call is too greasy, so let's save that set!" ”

"Yes, I don't dare to take this cousin, I just ask you to move next time you hunt, let me rest too!" The two have been acquainted for more than half a month, and they are about the same age as each other, so they don't pay so much attention to it in private.

The sixteenth elder brother smiled "hehe", but he shouldn't be. Cao Hao was helpless, this child was not very old, and he was more lazy than himself. A few days ago, he was lazy in hunting, and Cao Hao often took a few guards to hunt some prey to cheat for him.

"Don't say anything else, just say it's called flower chicken, and the taste is really good. If there is anything good outside the plug, count the freshness of this game! The sixteenth elder brother took a sip of tea and said.

Cao Hao thought about the pheasant and yellow sheep during this time, which was similar to the one in Qingliang Temple back then. The little monk Zhiran didn't know if he had left Jiangning, but he had heard him say that he wanted to follow his master to Yunyou; Thinking of himself again, he left Jiangning for more than three months, but the plan in his heart was still unclear.

Although the purpose is not to lose the Cao family and not let himself die, what do you do? came up with a few money-making ideas to help Cao Yin return to his deficit; went to the capital as a guard to show loyalty to Kangxi for the family. Now, tea has made some profits, and Pearl will be able to have a big income in the next year, but why is he so unhappy.

It is estimated that in the eyes of many people, Cao Hao has become a troublemaker, fighting with the children of the yellow flag, and offending Mongolian Gege. The root cause is nothing more than one, that is, I can't swallow my anger and can't accept my status as a slave calmly. Although he was not born in a noble family in his previous life, he was cared for by his parents and doted on by his brother and sister-in-law, and he did not suffer any grievances; In this life, I have been in the Cao family, and I have grown up under the care of my elders and relatives. Since he has decided to be a guard for the Cao family for three years, why do you still compete with yourself like this?

Even if you call yourself a "slave", do you think you are a slave in your heart? Even if he doesn't call himself a "slave" in his mouth, the identity of the Cao family's clothed slave is real at the moment. I am too obsessed with details, but I don't have a big picture, which really shouldn't be. How do you live more and more, is it possible to really think that you are a fifteen-year-old boy?

At present, it seems that the Cao family's deficit crisis should be almost solved, and as for whether he can live safely, it is not up to him to decide. The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck, and they can easily change it if they don't plan carefully. Now, there is no big problem with the bones of the body, will it be like the young death in history, so I have to do my best to obey the fate of God. In this case, why do you have to live more freely? For example, this casual trip, completely at public expense, and to this unspoiled natural savannah, should be well enjoyed by this wonderful scenery.

Cao Hao figured this out, couldn't help laughing, and felt much happier in his heart.

The sixteenth elder brother was surprised when he heard this, Cao Hao looked at the rain outside the tent, the sky was clear, and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "I heard that the sixteenth master mentioned food, my stomach is a little hungry, or let's go to the grassland to shoot two rabbits!" ”

The sixteenth elder brother leaned back, looking quite reluctant. Cao Hao smiled and didn't force him. This child used to study in the palace from morning to night, and he was too tired, and now he can be lazy, and he doesn't even have a naughty mind. It is not easy for the prince of the Qing Dynasty to be in front of him, he is entangled in all kinds of homework, from a few years old to a teenager, and there are a few people who can rest in a year.

"Then the sixteenth master, you are resting here, I'll go out for a walk!" Cao Hao took a horsewhip and walked out of the tent.

Although the sixteenth elder brother was lazy, it was boring to stay alone, so he still followed Cao Hao out of the tent.

*

The grassland after the rain is extraordinarily beautiful, the washed heaven and earth appear more and more lofty, the endless tender green extends to the horizon, all kinds of unknown wildflowers are dotted in the meantime, swaying with the wind, the water droplets on the petals of the grass tips are not shining, and the ripples reflect the brilliant light, as if to compete with the rainbow hanging in the air. This scene is like a dream, still in the painting.

Cao Hao rode on horseback, looking at the beautiful scenery of the grassland, and the depression that had been precipitated for months in his heart was swept away. If it weren't for the fact that it was still close to the camp, he couldn't help but shout twice.

There was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Cao Hao turned his head, and it was the sixteenth elder brother who rode out with him. It is estimated that he was also fascinated by the scenery in front of him, and he was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Cao Hao pointed to the northwest with a horsewhip: "If you see the river in the distance, let's go there and roast the rabbit!" ”

Seeing that Cao Hao was in a good mood, the sixteenth elder brother was also interested: "Okay, let's go to that river, let's compare, the one who arrives first eats first, and the one who arrives late catches the rabbit!" ”

"That's it!" As he spoke, Cao Hao clamped the horse's belly with his legs, pulled the horse's reins, and even the people and horses rushed out. I had been lazy several times by this little sixteen before, and now I should ask him to chase the rabbit and move his muscles.

The sixteenth elder brother was not to be left behind, and was busy chasing after him with a horsewhip.

*

The meandering river and the gentle water are a different view.

Because Cao Hao arrived first, the sixteenth elder brother was responsible for catching rabbits. But when the sixteenth elder brother was about to leave, Cao Hao called out to him: "Sixteenth master, don't bother!" It was indeed a no-brainer, and when he arrived at the river, Cao Hao realized that he had made a mistake. It has just rained for a long time, and the grassland is drenched, where will I go to find dry firewood for a while?

When the sixteenth elder brother heard that there was no dry firewood, he dismounted and tied the horse to a bush nearby.

Cao Hao also tied his horse and stood by the river, looking at the beautiful scenery of the grassland.

"Here you go!" The sixteenth elder brother handed over a piece of beef jerky the thickness of his thumb: "Although the portion is smaller, you can also chew two bites." ”

Cao Hao was indeed a little hungry, so he took it and took a bite, and the taste was very pure. As he chewed, a figure that he had forgotten came to mind.

The girl's name was Wen Qi, his college classmate, and his girlfriend. She likes to eat beef jerky the most, whether it is the taste of Yungui or the Mongolian grassland, she likes them all. Although there are several kinds of Carrefour, most of them are not as authentic as the place of origin. For a long time, Cao Hao searched the Internet for information on various origins, just to buy her the most delicious beef jerky.

After graduating from university, Cao Hao entered the office opened by his brother's friend, and Wen Qi stayed in school for graduate school. Two years later, Wen Qi went to a financial company and worked as a legal counsel there.

Mr. Zhang, the boss of that company, was originally an IT background, but because of a bit of a recession in recent years, he changed his career to finance, and as a result, he achieved good results in a year or two. Cao Hao once went to pick up Wen Qi, saw the scale of their company, and rented an office building in the urban construction building in North Taipingzhuang, with an office area of thousands of square meters, and a place where every inch of land is expensive on the side of the Third Ring Road, which is really good.

Cao Hao is from a law background, and he is particularly cautious in looking at problems, and when Wen Qi mentioned Mr. Zhang's entrepreneurial history, he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

In addition to a few branches in Yanjing, the financial company has also gained a foothold in southwest markets such as Chongqing and Chengdu. As a legal adviser, Wen Qi often needs to fly around, and the time she can spend with Cao Hao is getting shorter and shorter. At that time, some classmates smiled and warned Cao Hao, but Wen Qi should be optimistic, and now in these years, a beautiful and capable woman like Wen Qi is the most sought-after.

The later story is clichΓ©, and Mr. Zhang pursues this beautiful woman's subordinates......

"What about women, huh?" The sixteenth elder brother's words interrupted Cao Hao's contemplation, he turned his head, and saw the sixteenth elder brother smiling very ambiguously: "Hurry up, tell me honestly, do you miss a woman?" Is it Boyana, or Tana? ”

Can Baoya and Tana's two hairy girls still be considered women? Cao Hao muttered in his heart, but he said: "It's about the reputation of the two Gege, and the sixteenth master needs to be cautious!" ”

With a stuffy chest, Cao Hao threw all the remaining beef jerky into his mouth.

It's really thinking about women, thinking about a woman who loves beef jerky.
