Cao Hao and Yi Du have two, one is weak and the other is in his thirties. Both of them are brightly dressed and ride horses side by side, which also looks a little dazzling.

Today is a good day, the sky is clear, and the sky is cloudless. On both sides of the road, the poplar leaves are golden, and the autumn mood is strong.

Qianmen Street is already full of people, and all kinds of shouts are mixed together, showing that it is extremely lively. Occasionally, passing by the teahouse restaurant, the burst of wine fragrance is also tempting.

Yi Du Li took the reins of the horse, and said to Cao Hao with a smile: "I have been delayed for a long time in this yamen, and my stomach is a little empty, or let's find a place to pad it first, and then go to the glass factory." I have long wanted to drink a cup with Furuo, because you were in the filial piety period before, and it was not cheap. ”

Cao Hao drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and now he was a little hungry, so he smiled and said: "That's right, the kid has long wanted to invite adults to eat and drink, so it's better to say that it's better to bump into it, and today I say please let the kid be the east." ”

Yi Duli waved his hand and said, "I'm thick-skinned, and I'm happy to eat you." It's just that it's time to change the title soon, although counting from the relatives on the second child's side, I'm a well-deserved elder. It's just that one yard is one yard, and there is not much difference between you and me, don't be a 'adult', don't be ashamed. Look at you, you usually say that you have an intersection with the thirteenth and sixteenth masters, but you don't pay attention to these generations. In front of me, Fu Ruo should stop being so polite, let's take turns with each other. ”

Cao Hao smiled and didn't say much. In the end, it depends on the face of the Zhaojia family, and Cao Hao is following Cao Song's shouting to the in-laws in Zhaojia Mansion, which can be regarded as respectful. Yi Duli can say this, but Cao Hao is not too casual.

There happened to be a restaurant on the right hand, and it looked clean, so the two dismounted. When I entered the store, Xiao Er greeted me. The two asked for a private room, ordered a few dishes at random, and sent Xiao Er to bring the wine first.

After this trip to Outer Mongolia, Cao Hao's alcohol consumption is no longer what it used to be. When I went, it was okay, everyone had something on their minds, and the weather was so warm, I didn't feel difficult; On the way back, because of the end of the errand, it was cold outside, and everyone encountered the town on the way, and they were all filled with wine bags to relieve fatigue and cold.

The wine sold in Mongolia is all burned knives sold in the Central Plains, and it is the most martyrdom. came and went, even Cao Hao, who had a shallow amount of alcohol, exercised it, and half a catty or eight taels was not a problem.

One time later, Xiao Er brought a few side dishes and drinks on the table. Four plates of side dishes, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, the meat is mixed with beef hoof tendons, small crispy fish, and the vegetarian is salted almonds and mustard piles.

Cao Hao poured a full cup of wine for Yi Duli, and then poured it for himself, and the two of them did a cup first.

Iduli put down the wine cup, took a bite of side dishes, and put it in his mouth, then shook his head and said: "Maybe it's because it's about to enter winter, but now I'm impatient to eat these things, so I'm thinking about shabu-shabu." Guarding the hot pot, come to a plate of 'upper brain', 'cucumber strips' or something, and this little day will be moisturized. ”

Cao Hao nodded and agreed: "That is, you have to choose the mutton outside the mouth, so that it is authentic." ”

When Yi Duli heard this, he glanced at Cao Hao a few times, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought that I was just a fool like this, so I liked to think about these foods, but I didn't expect Fu Ruo to be good at this." Su said that looking at your serious appearance, you are still a Taoist gentleman. Speaking of this, he remembered something and asked: "By the way, in the first few years, I seem to have heard of Tao Ranju under the name of the Ninth Master, and he used it as your family's cook, is there such a thing?" ”

Cao Hao was stunned, and two fat cooks with gray hair appeared in his mind, Master Yu and Master Tian. Lin Xiazhai seems to be a very distant thing, and it is his first pot of gold in this world. The income before and after was more than 100,000 taels, and when his sister Cao Jiashi got married, he also borrowed a lot.

The clan relatives on the side of King Pingjun are old, and they dare not underestimate Cao Jia's family, who was born in Baoyi, in addition to being married in the palace, has something to do with those rich dowries. What about the background of the coating? After all, he is the emperor's henchman and one of the best people in Jiangnan.

Cao Hao still remembers the excitement when he and Yu Tian pondered those "exclusive menus". One after another familiar delicacies came out, and Cao Hao also somewhat relieved some of his "homesickness".

Seeing that Cao Hao was silent, Yi Du Li said, "If you don't know, it's probably a rumor!" ”

Cao Hao said: "It's not a rumor, I don't know if they have changed their cooks in the past few years, if they haven't changed, it should be an old acquaintance of the Cao family." ”

The old acquaintance in his mouth is not Yu Tian's two masters, after all, these two masters are old, and they are both seventy or eighty people, where can they still cook with knives. The cook in Tao Ranju here is the son of two masters, and Cao Hao also met him when he was in Jiangning.

"Tsk, if Fu Ruo is not in the capital, so I don't know. On the night of Halloween, Tao Ranju caught fire and burned many people to death. There was a master who said that his body was not comfortable and he went to the bathhouse for cupping, so he was spared. Strangely, that night, the cook also died violently in his own home. Things made a big fuss, and the Shuntianfu and the infantry army were all gone, and then I didn't know how the ninth master moved, so he was forced to suppress it. Iduli sighed.

The "Ghost Festival" mentioned by Iduli refers to the Midyear Festival on July 15, and when Cao Hao calculated in his heart, he said that the holy car was from Rehe on July 21, and he himself was the camp that left on July 21. During this period, Brother Jiu has been following Hu.

Yi Duli heard that Cao Hao didn't speak, and said: "Although it was the Ninth Master who sent someone to suppress this matter from the Shuntian Mansion and the Yamen of the Infantry Army, it was just an ordinary fire. But that night, when the neighbors rushed to put out the fire, although they listened to the crying father and mother shouting for help, none of them escaped...... Outside, someone has been denied the door......"

Cao Hao smacked his tongue when he listened, this is a blatant murder, who ate the leopard's gall and dared to fight against Brother Jiu in the capital? Although the ninth elder brother is hopeless, after all, he is the prince's elder brother, and the blood of the heavenly family.

Iduli continued, "...... Everyone said in private that it was an evil ghost asking for their lives...... The buyers and sellers in Beijing, if they have some backgrounds, but their roots are not deep, they have also been plagued by many families in the past ten years. Those who hang themselves and jump into the river must have ten or eight when they die. I heard that more than 30 people were burned alive, and many of them were burned to the point that only their stomachs and intestines remained...... Even if there is a real ghost, this hatred is not a place......"

The two of them are average, drinking and talking about Tao Ranju. Just when Iduli was speaking with emotion and Cao Hao was also listening attentively, he heard a woman's cry coming from "Huh".

Idu immediately shut up and glanced at Cao Hao in surprise. Cao Hao also felt a gust of wind and was a little uncomfortable. But this blue sky is white, where will there be any ghosts?

The two listened carefully, and it turned out that the voice came from the private room next door.

Although Cao Hao doesn't like to be troublesome, Yi Du Li has a long waist when he eats half a pot of wine. Listening to this "dush" sound, he didn't know how to give birth to a heart of pity, so he got up from his seat and shouted: "Little Er, Little Er......"

When Xiao Er heard the greeting, he hurriedly ran over, bowed down and said with a smile: "This master, do you want to add wine or vegetables?" ”

Yi Duli blinked his eyes, and vigorously used his hand to slap his beard: "Don't add wine, and you won't add vegetables...... Tell me, who is sitting next door? This crying and crying makes people feel disturbed. Isn't there any evil family here, molesting women from good families? ”

Xiao Er saw that he was drunk and cute, and he was very funny in his heart, where is there any serious woman who can show his face? Thinking in his heart, he still replied respectfully: "Master, you misunderstood, there was a female guest next door, as if she had encountered something troublesome, and asked for two pots of wine." This may be drunk, why don't you talk about it in the past? ”

When Yi Duli heard this, he shook his head and said: "Hearing her crying so wronged, she was designated as being bullied, I will go over and take a look, there are still many good people at the feet of this son!" Saying that, he didn't care about the little two, and went out to the next door.

Xiao Er was frightened, no matter whether this woman is a good family or a prostitute, if something happens in the store, isn't it just a ruin?

Yi Du Li with the smell of wine, but also a little bit of strength, Xiao Er did not dare to stop, seeing that Cao Hao, the guest who came with him, was still sober, so he begged: "Master, you can help stop it, the little one will ask the shopkeeper to come!" ”

The first time Cao Hao saw Yi Duli drunk, he didn't expect him to be this wine, and he also regretted it a little. He said to the little er: "It's okay, I'll stop him, don't make a noise." Whispered to the shopkeeper to come up and wait. Save yourself a little trouble, it doesn't look good in both clicks! ”

Xiao Er bowed in response, Cao Hao strode out, and followed Yi Du Li into the private room next door.

On the wine table, there was a table full of dishes, but only a few chopsticks were moved, and on the edge of the wine table, a woman in a crimson shirt lay on the table, crying "hum".

Hearing someone enter the house, she casually threw the wine cup on the table at the door, and while looking up slowly, she said angrily: ", tell you to wait for me in the car, you dare to come up......"

Although it is coquettish, the appearance of this pear blossom with rain also makes Iduli's body numb. There are also a lot of wives and concubines in his family, but there are a few men who are not lustful. Not to mention that wine is a color matchmaker. He actually watched the wine cup fly over, and he didn't avoid it.

In the end, how much strength can a woman's family have, and the wine cup smashed Iduli on the shoulder, and then fell to the ground and shattered.

Cao Hao lowered his head and came in behind Iduli, thinking about how to take Iduli away without losing face. Startled at the sound of the glass falling to the ground, he looked up and met the woman in her seat.

For some reason, Cao Hao looked at this woman with a panicked face, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The woman looked up and saw two big men coming in, drunk and not reacting for a while. She was watching drunkenly, and when she saw Cao Hao behind her, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Her heart was unstoppable, tears fell, she raised her fingers, and cried, "You...... You're so ruthless......"

Iduli was confused, and he only thought it was his old name, and he was still trying to figure out which one it was.

Cao Hao listened to the voice, remembered someone, and looked at it carefully, but it was not Yang's Ruixue.

Yang Ruixue closed her eyes and tears rained down.

Cao Hao paused and asked, "Young Lady Bai, why are you here?" ”

"Young Lady Bai...... Young Lady Bai ......" Yang Ruixue wiped a handful of tears, got up from the meditation seat, swayed forward, and said with a smile: "Now, where is there any Young Lady Bai...... Slave ...... Cao Ye can call the slave Grandma Yang, Yang Dongjia, and Miss Yang ......" while talking, walking, but where to walk steadily, suddenly huddled to the ground.

She happened to be sitting next to the fragment of the wine cup that had just landed, because her palms touched the ground, and they were just pierced.

She let out a "wow" and burst into tears, holding up her injured palm and crying, "It hurts...... It hurts......"

Cao Hao didn't have much friendship with her, and remembered that she was no longer a "young lady", thinking that she was divorced by her husband's family.

Now, seeing that her hands were bloody and crying like a child, Cao Hao sighed, and turned around and asked the shopkeeper to invite someone to come over.

Although Yi Duli was drunk, he could also hear that the beautiful woman in front of him was Cao Hao's old acquaintance. Although he wanted to step forward to help her up, he didn't move when he took care of Cao Hao.

Cao Hao thought about what Yang Ruixue had done in the past, and he didn't want to entangle with her too much, so he stopped moving.

When Yang Ruixue heard that she was going to invite Lang Zhong, she cried and shook her head and said, "Don't look at Lang Zhong, don't look at Lang Zhong...... Medicine...... Poisonous ...... in medicine"

Seeing that she was so childish, angry, and funny, Cao Hao stepped forward and said, "Bai ...... Miss Yang, who are you coming out with? Cao called someone over, send you back, right? ”

Yang Ruixue shook her head vigorously and said, "If you don't go back, you won't go back today!" Today's slave's birthday, slave should be happy! Speaking of this, he pouted and said to Cao Haojiao: "Cao Ye is so comfortable...... Sister Nuer Woxue is unsettled. Speaking of which, the slave still has to call Cao Ye's brother-in-law......"
