Chapter 68: Sacrifice to the Mother

"Is there any damage to the coffin?" Cao Ming's biggest worry is not the funeral goods, but the fear that the coffin will be damaged when relocated.

The county magistrate replied: "Rest assured, Madame's coffin is not damaged, and Wechen will take you to see it." ”

Cao Ming thought for a while and said, "Then there is Lord Lao County, but my carriage is still stuck in the pit, and I still need someone to pull it out." ”

"Leave this matter to the villain!" Sima Lang immediately took over the job, this was an opportunity to perform, and he didn't want to give up the opportunity to others.

Cao Ming was a little embarrassed and said: "My son has already contributed money for my mother, and now I have to contribute to me, don't I owe more to my husband?" ”

Sima Lang arched his hands and said: "My Sima family has been loyal and filial piety for generations, and it is an honor to be able to share the worries and solve problems for the mother, I hope the mother will not shirk." ”

"Then do as Childe wants!" Cao Ming knew that these big families were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they all had their own little abacus in their hearts.

"No!" Sima Lang's mood at the moment is not to mention how good it is, this ancient courtier not only has to manage the people, but also has to serve his own monarch happily, so as to ensure that his family will pass it on.

After handing over the complicated matters to Sima Lang, Cao Ming directly followed the county order to worship his mother, and of course the sacrifices were also provided by the county.

The scale of Chai Yu's new tomb is comparable to that of a general, Cao Ming thought it was a park at first glance, until he got closer and saw the huge stone monument, he realized that this small hill was indeed his mother's new tomb.

Cao Ming exclaimed slightly: "Such a big tomb is really rare, and it is estimated that the cost is not less, is it all Sima Lang's money?" ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that this tomb would cost thousands of gold, not to mention that it would cost a few thousand gold, it seems that the Sima family has a lot of money, and it is estimated that it should be the wealth accumulated by the ancestors.

The county magistrate replied: "Half of it comes from the donations of local magnates, and the other half is the heart of Sima Gongzi, saying that he can't wronged the old lady." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said, "I'll go and thank him personally later, now let's hold a worship ceremony first, and put everything I brought." ”

"No!" More than a dozen entourages around the county commander moved, took out the sacrifices on their backs and put them on the table, and then knelt on the ground and wept bitterly while burning paper.

At this time, the county magistrate also knelt on the ground and cried out: "Old lady! Why did you leave so early, you didn't enjoy the glory and wealth all your life, and now the mother has come to see you in person, you must bless her! ”

Cao Ming stood aside a little at a loss, obviously worshipping his mother, what are these people crying about.

After the county magistrate finished crying, he took a stack of paper money and burned it, and the people next to him also burned it when they saw this, and it didn't take long for all the paper money to be burned.

Cao Ming no longer has the idea of worshipping at this time, everything she should do has been taken care of, and now she can only pray silently in her heart.

The county magistrate wiped his tears and said: "I have heard the old lady's answer, she said that she will bless you with the safety of the phoenix, and also said that the people of Wen County will be more prosperous." ”

Cao Ming was impressed by the words of the county order, and thought to herself that you should really be an actor, and being a county order will bury you.

"Mother, we're here!" Sima Lang suddenly rode over on a horse, and behind him was the carriage that Cao Ming was riding, and it seemed that they had already dragged the carriage out.

"Did you pull it out with a rope?" Cao Ming thought to herself that although the carriage was made of wood, it would become heavier with the addition of iron sheets and decorations, and two or three people would have to pull it hard, to say the least.

Sima Lang said with admiration: "Originally, I sent someone to pull the carriage, but the pit was dug too deep, and it was not pulled out, and then General Dian personally took action to pull the carriage out." ”

Dian Wei arched his hands and said, "Sima Gongzi is too polite, this is originally my business." ”

Sima Lang said with a smile: "General Dian is really born with divine power, and he pulled out of the carriage with both hands, which really shocked me and other scholars." ”

Cao Ming said jealously in his heart: "He is just a rough man, he just has brute strength, and it is useless to be a guard." ”

Cao Ming wants to be reborn rarely, at least the body should be as burly as Dian Wei, and the mind must be as sensitive as the ghost Guo Jia, and then the money will be exhausted, and then let the beauties give birth to a lot of monkeys for themselves, such a life is called a perfect life.

Dian Wei said embarrassedly: "The lesson of Niangniang is that I am indeed a rough person, and I will definitely study more in the future to increase my knowledge." ”

Dian Wei heard Cao Ming's words a little harshly, thinking that he might have angered her just now, but he didn't seem to say anything offensive to people.

Sima Lang proposed: "I see that Niangniang has no place to live in the county, so it is better to deign to live in a cold house for a while, which is better than living in a post house." ”

Sima Lang specially built a courtyard in his home, which was originally used to receive important officials of the imperial court, and now it is just right for Cao Ming to live in.

The county order also echoed: "Sima Gongzi's home is an ancestral house, and Bao Niangniang is satisfied with living in it, and besides, there are many people living in the post house, so it will not be good if you mix in with the assassins." ”

"Okay!" After such persuasion by the two, Cao Ming was really afraid of the assassin, after all, as the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.

Sima Lang immediately arranged a few people to send Cao Ming to his house, and when Cao Ming's carriage was far away, he was relieved in his heart.

Sima Lang said to the county commander: "Today, thanks to the county commander's sentinel, otherwise I really don't know about it, I didn't expect the queen to travel with two entourages." ”

The county commander arched his hand and said: "Ling Zun does a lot of help to the lower officials on weekdays, and these little things should be done, and after serving the mother's food, clothing, housing and transportation, aren't our faces also stained." ”

In front of Sima's Mansion, Yan Ying looked at the huge courtyard, and couldn't help but compare it with the Thorn Mansion, and found that the Thorn Mansion was completely defeated by Sima's Mansion.

Yan Ying blinked her eyes and said, "It's so big here, it's the first time Ying'er has seen such a big courtyard, compared to the courtyard here, the Thorn Mansion feels so small." ”

Cao Ming smiled and said: "This is the ancestral residence of the Sima family, after more than a hundred years of expansion, of course, the scale will exceed that of the Thorn History Mansion." ”

Yan Ying stretched her waist and said: "That lady can stay for a few more days, I have been tired of driving and riding for the past few days, and I can finally find a good place to sleep." ”

Cao Ming glanced at Yan Ying: "You should change your name to Yan Lazy, you are tired of riding in the carriage along the way, I really don't know how to write the word happiness." ”

"I" Yan Ying's face was red when Cao Ming said, it was true that she was not tired on the way, but Dian Wei, who was driving the car, was more tired.

Sima Yi happened to cover his butt and walked out: "Oops, it hurts me to death, it's really unlucky!" ”

Yan Ying hurriedly quipped: "Isn't this Sima Gongzi, it looks like the ass is blooming!" ”

Sima Yi said with a look of surprise: "Why did you appear at my door, do you want to live in my house?" ”

Yan Ying stuck her waist and said, "Why don't you want to?" Niangniang lives in your house, which is the blessing of your ancestors, and besides, your eldest brother took the initiative to ask for it, if there is any problem, please ask your eldest brother. ”

Sima Yi said embarrassedly: "Since it is the meaning of the eldest brother, I have nothing to say." ”

Yan Ying suddenly became worried and said, "With you, a thief, I have to be on guard at all times, what if you take a bath." ”

Sima Yi jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away: "I'm not a thief, it was Cao Zhen's kid who tricked me into going." ”

Cao Ming stepped forward to hold Sima Yi's shoulder and said: "This kind of thing is understandable, after all, it is normal for boys to have curiosity about the opposite sex, and they can't hold back and can go to the brothel, where the big sisters will solve your doubts." ”

"A brothel?" Sima Yi was a scholar from a large family, and of course he had never been to a brothel in the city, but he had heard of this place.

Cao Ming thought to himself that although he couldn't spend all day drinking, it was not bad to enjoy it spiritually once in a while, and it just so happened that no one in this area knew him, so it was better to go to the most mysterious place in ancient times to have a look.

Yan Ying pulled Cao Ming back: "Niangniang, how can you say that it is a brothel, is it possible that you still want to go?" ”

Yan Ying looked forward to being by Cao Ming's side for a long time, and she knew Cao Ming's habits very well, since she could bring it up, she just wanted to go.

Cao Ming said cheekily: "I'm really a little curious, if I don't go there once tonight, I should see the world anyway." ”

Yan Ying said with a surprised face: "The queen mother went to the brothel, this is simply a strange story for the ages, aren't you afraid of getting sick?" ”

Cao Ming pulled Yan Ying and said, "I just want to go and have a look, drink and listen to a little song for a while, and don't do anything else." ”

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Since Niangniang really wants to go, then I will accompany you to go, but I have to find Cao Zhen's kid, and the matter of the brothel is still what he said." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, just go to me at night, and remember not to tell anyone." ”

"Hey, Niangniang, you are this kind of person." Yan Ying looked at Cao Ming with disdain, thinking that it turned out that the innocence was all pretended.

Cao Ming coughed lightly and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to go, I will take you, if you don't want to go, just stay in the yard, of course, it's still the old rule." ”

Yan Ying shook her head and said, "It's better for Niang Niang to go by herself, I promise not to say a word." ”

"Okay, let's go change our outfits first." Cao Ming knew that she would definitely be discovered, but she still had to change her clothes according to the rules, after all, if the gender did not match the money, she could get by, and if she didn't change this clothes, it would be really easy to have an accident.

Cao Ming and Yan Ying entered a compound with the servants, this is the residence of the two specially arranged by Sima Lang, the scale and courtyard are much larger than the Assassin's Mansion, and the things in the house are all available.

Cao Ming changed into men's clothes and said, "Ying'er, you go and buy a fake beard and silk cloth, at least I have to pretend to be some." ”

Yan Ying said helplessly: "You are really desperate to go to the brothel, and you are not afraid of strangling it, or you should give up." ”

Cao Ming said indifferently: "You don't understand this, the spirit of exploration is always necessary, and besides, it won't be long before I come back, and I won't suffer much sin." ”
