Since the beginning of the 10th day of March, Cao Hao has been busy with his majesty for several days. On March 14, Cao Yin and his wife were invited to a banquet by Ma Liandao.

Although Cao Yin can't see Ma Liandao's behavior, after all, the two families have a friendship between their fathers and grandparents, and it is not good if they are not paid. It seems that the Cao family is snobbish, because now that they are raising the flag, they look down on old friends.

Cao Hao went to the Yongwu Earl's Mansion in Xinjiekou to visit Wanjiha, the father of Yongqing. Wan Jiha has been sick since last year, sometimes bad and sometimes good, and has been recuperating in the house.

Regarding Cao Hao's visit, Wan Jiha was very polite, and he couldn't tell whether it was close or alienated. In the past six months, the cold court has also made him think a lot, and he is not as keen on fame as before.

Regarding the removal of the Yongqing family tree, although Cao Hao knew about it, he only didn't know it on his face, except for greeting Wanjiha to be healthy, between his words, he only talked about some anecdotes about the capital and officialdom.

Throughout, Wan Jiha did not mention Yongqing, the eldest son who was exiled to Shengjing. Cao Hao originally wanted to ask whether he would arrange for someone to go to Shengjing to pick up Yongqing; If it is not arranged, Cao Fu will go to someone, but you have to send a letter. However, he did not speak.

Some things are family affairs of Wanyan Mansion, and it is not easy for him to interfere.

He wanted to use these words in Beijing to find a place for Yongqing to settle, but he was afraid that Yongqing's surname would be stubborn and difficult to deal with the officialdom in the capital.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Hao decided to wait for Yongqing's opinion to make arrangements, which saved him a disadvantage. Because of the exile ahead, in fact, even if you don't look for an errand, you will be silent for a few years, and it will be good to wait for things to come out again.

After talking for two quarters of an hour, seeing Wanjiha serving tea to the guests, Cao Hao got up and said goodbye with interest. Wan Jiha pondered for a while, glanced at Cao Hao, looked a little hesitant, and finally didn't say anything.

Although Cao Hao is a junior, in terms of grade, both of them are Heshuo foreheads, Wan Jiha is not easy to support, so he got up to send Cao Hao out of the house.

Because he didn't look very good and was still panting, Cao Hao asked him to stop and didn't have to send him off.

When Cao Hao came out of the living room with the housekeeper, the lord of Fuhui had already made someone wait outside and asked him to meet him in the hall.

Unlike Wanjiha, the county lord of Fuhui treated Cao Hao warmer than in previous years, but he did not serve the elders or the county lord again. She invited Cao Hao to meet, in addition to thanking her, she asked Cao Hao to look at the relationship she had made since childhood, and pull Yongqing if she could pull it in the future.

is about to give amnesty to the world, and Wanyan Mansion has been believed.

Since Yongqing has been exiled for more than a year, Fuhui has begged Wanjiha several times, and what he said is nothing more than how to settle his son after returning to Beijing. Although there was a genealogy last year, Yongqing's wife and children did not live in Bepfu, and still lived in the Earl's Court. If you don't recognize your son, you have to move your daughter-in-law and little granddaughter out of the house. The family has a small population, and there is no need to live in two places.

What can Wanjiha say? In addition to the title passed down by his ancestors, he is also the head of the Wanyan family, if he protects the eldest son, Yongqing, who may endanger the family, will be re-regarded as the heir, and those elders in the clan are so easy to get along?

No matter how his wife nagged, Wan Jiha never let go, and called his second son Yongsheng to his side, taught him some officialdom experience, and taught him carefully.

There are personal exchanges between officialdom and relatives, and Wan Jiha also asked Yongsheng to come forward to entertain. Ren can see which is the heir of the Wanyan family.

Without a title and family protection, how can Fuhui not worry about his eldest son? Previously, she had heard Yongsheng mention that Yongqing was able to avoid exile in Ningguta, mostly because Cao Hao sent him back to Beijing to do so.

No matter how arrogant Fuhui's attitude was in the past, she was just a mother who didn't worry about her son at the moment. Besides, even if she doesn't say this, Cao Hao can help and will still help.

Seeing that Cao Hao promised to be refreshed, Fuhui said: "I'm a mother, and I don't want him to fly in the future, as long as he can be safe, I will be at ease!" Speaking of which, having a friend like you is a blessing for us to be forever! Speaking of this, he glanced at Cao Hao, sighed in his heart, and remembered his daughter Yongjialai.

She has also heard some of the things in Prince Jane's mansion, how can she not be wronged for her daughter? It's just that her daughter and Cao Hao are also inseparable. Who would have thought that there would be branches on the side of the Chunjun Palace, and he was a step late on his side, and he didn't form this family affair in the end.

Although Cao Hao saw that Fuhui's eyes looked at him with a slight meaning, he couldn't think of anything else, just thinking that she was thinking about Yongqing, and couldn't help but say a few words of relief.

After returning from the Yan Mansion, Cao Hao went to Ning Chun's house again and met Ning Chun's stepmother and the little brother who had passed by the side branch. The child was only seven or eight years old, and he was a little afraid of life, so he hid behind his adoptive mother and refused to see anyone for a long time.

Ning Chun's stepmother seemed to spoil this heir, her eyes revolved around the child, and she didn't leave her side for a moment.

Due to the small population in the current mansion and some industries left by the Ning family, the livelihood here is not a problem, and there is nothing to worry about.

Cao Hao did not sit for a long time, and said a few words with him before leaving.

Riding on the road, Cao Hao was silent for a long time. In the end, he is a cowardly person, fooling himself like this, saying to himself that because he has no clues, he can't avenge Ning Chun, in the final analysis, he is just sparing his life.

Although there are many mysteries and seemingly clueless, there are no more than those elder brothers. Maybe it was because the prince was going to kill him at the beginning, or it was the blame of the Eight Elder Brothers, or maybe it was the double blame of the two of them by a third-party force.

Just like the black shadow he saw on the grassland back then, although he returned to the capital to investigate, although it was to take precautions, he was always reluctant to take the initiative, for fear of accidentally stirring up and entering the whirlpool of seizing the heir.

In his heart, he still wants to be alone. But as Ning Chun's best friend, he couldn't face these calmly, so he checked it painlessly, saying that there was no clue and he couldn't take revenge. Then, he lived his little life with peace of mind.

Such hypocrisy really made him despise himself.

Not far away, there was a carriage parked, and it was Li Xu sitting inside. Hearing the long follower's report, saying that the young master of the Cao family was in front, Li Xu picked up the curtain of the car and looked at it, but did not ask someone to come forward to greet him, but avoided it.

Seeing Cao Hao riding on a horse with a gloomy face, with a few guards and a long follower, Li Xu was confused and felt very strange.

Could it be that Cao Hao encountered something terrible? Every time I see him, he looks light and breezy, and it is rare to have such a heavy look.

Li Ding said yesterday that he would make amends to Cao Hao and resolve the misunderstanding between the two families, although it was in line with Li Xu's intentions, but it still made him a little uncomfortable.

Whether Cao Hao is honest and loyal, or shrewd, no one knows better than the Li family's father and son. They know in their hearts that they can only pretend to be confused, tell a few truths to people, and are also suspected of being jealous and framed. It's depressing. Therefore, although Li Xu was annoyed by his son's ignorance, he also slandered Cao Hao.

At such a young age, how can such scheming methods not make people have a heart of prevention? The so-called kinship may be just bullshit in his eyes.

Thinking like this, Li Xu was a little curious about Cao Hao's whereabouts, stretched out his hand to call a confidant, pointed to the direction where Cao Hao had just come, and ordered with a little drunkenness: "Inquire carefully, who are the people living around here!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The man answered and rode his horse to the alley.

When Cao Hao led the people farther and farther away, Li Xu lowered the curtain and called the carriage forward. He had just come back from the party, he was full of alcohol, his eyes were closed, and he only felt that his head was a little heavy.

The carriage was bumpy, and because of the wind just now, Li Xu's chest was a little stuffy, and he was so uncomfortable.

Li's family is in Dongcheng, this road is still far away, Li Xu remembered the house by Shichahai, so he called the carriage and horse to Shichahai.

Li Ding was led by Nalan Fusen and met with several ministers of the guard, but he was not here.

Li Xu got out of the carriage with the help of the little maid, and as soon as he entered the door of the house, he couldn't hold back any longer, and with a "wow" sound, he bent over and vomited.

For a while, Li Xu vomited filth, and even took a lot of dirt on his clothes and sleeves. Everyone cleaned up and held the swaying Li Xu.

The steward here is surnamed Shen, and he is the confidant of the Li family's father and son. Seeing that Li Xu was drunk, Steward Shen bowed and said, "Master, do you want to rest forward, or backward." ”

Li Xu waved his hand and said, "Since I am behind, tell someone to hurry up and boil water, I will pick it up, master." ”

Thinking that there was the person living behind him, Steward Shen just wanted to know about Li Xu, but then thought that their father and son were not taboo about this, so he didn't have much to do, and personally worked with the little servant, one left and one right, to help Li Xu go to the backyard.

Although he knew that his son had made someone come out of this place, Li Xu still came over for the first time.

Entering the backyard room, looking at the fragrant furnishings all over the house, and smelling the familiar musky scent, Li Xu couldn't help but smile and say to himself: "This bastard knows how to do these crooked ways!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

There were two maids in the house, and when they saw the housekeeper helping a master in, although they didn't know what their identity was, they still bowed down respectfully to return the salute.

Li Xu glanced at the two maids a few times, and when he saw that his appearance was ordinary, he lost his interest and ordered the two maids to wait for his wide clothes.

The two maids hesitated, not knowing whether they should follow the orders and step forward. Steward Shen glared at him and said, "What are you rubbing, this is my master." ”

The two maids stepped forward tremblingly and helped Li Xu remove the dirty clothes outside.

Steward Shen didn't see the man, a little strange, and couldn't help but ask the two maids in a low voice: "What about you girls, why don't you see them?" ”

One of them replied, "The girl is a little tired, and she takes a nap in the back room." ”

Li Xu listened, his heart moved slightly, and he instructed Steward Shen: "What are you still pestle, go to the kitchen to draw water!" Then send someone back to the house to get a set of energetic clothes. ”

Steward Shen hesitated, but went down.

Li Xu was only wearing a middle coat, but he still felt extremely hot, and said to the two maids: "Go make tea, look at the heat, you have to be drunk." ”

After the two maids went out, Li Xu looked at the door of the inner room and complained a little about his son. It's only been a few days since I entered Beijing, and I found someone hiding here, but I don't know what the posture is this time? Can this northern Oiran be compared to a southern woman?

As the saying goes, wine is a matchmaker, because under this drunkenness, both men and women are extremely emotional.

Li Xu's family has seven or eight concubines, and the capital has just adopted two pretty girls in the past few days, and they can't do without women. Drunken and hazy, he walked to the back room.

Because of the curtains, the room was a little dark, and there was a faint fragrance that seemed to be absent.

In front of the eye, there is a big red veil, and a woman is faintly lying in it.

Li Xu walked to the side of the bed and picked up the curtain to look. At this glance, there are countless scattered green silks and two lotus arms.

At present, he couldn't bear it, and immediately pounced.

The woman was half-asleep and half-awake, let him fiddle, did not open her eyes, just coquettishly, and said angrily: "Master, you tossed the slave family for a night, why did you come back ......"

Under the porch, the two maids came back with tea, and just as they were about to enter the house, they heard a woman's scream from the house. As soon as the one serving the tea missed, the teapot and cups fell to the ground, and they immediately shattered.

The woman in the house heard someone coming and turned up the volume: "Someone, come quickly!" ”

As soon as the two maids wanted to lift the curtain, they were stopped by the steward Shen who came later.

Steward Shen scolded in a low voice: "Do you want to die? Don't go down quickly, no one is allowed to come to this courtyard without the master's orders! ”

Although the two maids were reluctant, no one dared to disobey and lowered their heads.

Steward Shen looked around, and saw that there was no one else in the courtyard, so he tiptoed to the west window and listened sideways.

Although the woman was still screaming, her voice became quieter and quieter, and then there was the sound of "squeak, squeak" shaking the bed, and she thought that she had entered the alley.

Steward Shen slowly opened his mouth and narrowed his eyes, thinking about the woman's appearance, and did not feel trembling. In the end, it is a good piece of meat, if you also look for a chance......
