Chapter 758: Xingxing (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The blue sky, the green mountains and green waters everywhere, and the sound of frogs can still be heard.
The morning light is flashing, the sun is rising, and the golden light is leisurely. If it weren't for the sound of horses' hooves on the official road, the surrounding scenery would be like an ink painting.
I thought it was already in an ambush, and I couldn't go at noon, so Cao Hao and his entourage started to rush at dawn every day since they hit Beijing, and went to the post station before noon to play sharp, and set off in the afternoon after the heat, and only rested at dusk at night.
Cao Song's side, because it was considered a tolerance, and there were a few guards in the guard office, so he only brought a personal ink book. On Cao Hao's side, there are more people with him.
In addition to Wei Hei, Cao Jia, Cao Yi, Zhao Tong, Zhang Yi, Xiaoman, Jiang Jian, and more than a dozen healthy servants.
Henan Mansion, located in the Central Plains Mansion, has been set up since the Qin Dynasty, named Sanchuan County, and changed to Henan County in the Han Dynasty. The station of Henan Mansion is Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.
Luoyang and the capital, it takes more than 1,500 miles to take the official road.
Cao Hao and the others hurried up, and it was impossible to arrive in three or two. In fact, after leaving the capital, Cao Hao's state of mind was much more comfortable. He personally fought for this opportunity, not so much to take care of his cousin, but to reassure his father.
Cao Songyuan was also anxious, and a blister appeared in his mouth. It was Cao Hao who persuaded him that it was so far away that there was no point in getting on fire. Maybe before they arrived in Luoyang, Cao Xiang had already returned safely.
Cao Song trusts Cao Hao's brother the most, even more than Cao Yin's uncle. With Cao Hao accompanying him this time, Cao Song's heart was a lot calmer.
Along the way, everyone was like a rejoicer, and they walked very happily.
However, after three days, they all knew the hardships. Especially several of Cao Song's colleagues, most of them are new guards, and there are also those who are out of Beijing for the first time, their faces are no longer as relaxed as before, and their posture after dismounting is also very strange.
* Beijing, Cao Fu.
Qi Niang sat on the roof, looked to the northeast, then to the northwest, and sighed heavily. Originally, when she heard that Cao Hao was going to Luoyang, Qi Niang was overjoyed, thinking that she would follow anyway.
Although she is thirteen years old and cardamom, she is thin and small, wearing boys' clothes, and she looks good. But Cao Hao is tolerant, where is there anyone who brings a woman with him, it is a sin to poke it out.
Even if it's not a business trip, it's not easy to go out of Beijing with the current identity of Qi Niang, but she doesn't know it.
In addition, Cao Hao had something to say before, because Fang Chonggong was not there, Tianhui had to ask Qi Niang to take care of it.
Thinking of Cao Hao's entrustment, Qi Niang sighed again. Just as she saw Walnut and Unn approaching, she jumped off the roof.
Little Walnut was startled, took a step back, tightened her nose, and said, "The seventh girl is scary again." ”
Qi Niang asked with a smile: "The two sisters are from Wutong Garden, how are the grandmothers there?" ”
"Aunt Zhao and Aunt Chen are on an errand, and there is no one else. Does the seventh girl want to give the girl acupuncture? Unn replied.
Qi Niang looked up at the sky and said, "Well, it's time to check the girl's pulse." ”
"By the way, my mother also told me in the morning that I would like to ask the seventh girl to come over when she is free. Grandma Tian has been eating for a few days, and she doesn't want to make a noise, so she saves her grandmother from interceding with the doctor. Little Walnut remembered something and said.
When Qi Niang heard that she was alive, she only felt a lot more energetic, and said with a smile: "I know, after watching the girl in a while, I will go to see Grandma Tian." "As he spoke, he said goodbye in two places.
Little Walnut looked at Qi Niang's back and said to Wu En: "If the seventh girl is a brat, how good it would be if she had this craft and opened a pharmacy for a lifetime." ”
She was only fifteen or sixteen, and she spoke so old-fashioned that Unn laughed when she heard it.
Little Walnut glanced at her unconvinced, and said, "Only you are arrogant and don't calculate." This is still a long time to come, and you can't be a girl for a lifetime. Speaking of this, he remembered that Unn was alone in the house, and said: "I heard that the girl will be released at the end of the year, and several of the sisters in the wife and grandmother's house have reached their age. My sister is also eighteen, otherwise I beg Sister Amethyst and let it out. ”
When Unn heard this, he shook his head and said, "Don't say it, I'm not going out." ”
Xiao Walnut listened, lowered her voice, and said: "Sister, the relationship between my sister and Master Man is not bad all these years, otherwise I would like to ask Sister Amethyst to talk to Grandma ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was gagged by Un, who glared at her and said, "This can be said and played, be careful to let Aunt Chang and Aunt Luo hear it, do you want to be beaten?" ”
Little Walnut took away Wun's hand and whispered: "Who likes to be idle, it's not because I'm good with my sister that I have a ...... for my sister."
In Wutong Garden, Qi Niang stood under the corridor, saw Zhao Mama and Chen Mama come out, and said loudly: "Grandma, Qi Niang is here." ”
After a while, I saw Xiyan lift the bamboo curtain and said, "Gege just asked." The seventh girl came into the house quickly, and there was a new melon plate. ”
Qi Niang entered the West House with a smile, and saw Tianhui lying on the kang table, fiddling with a pair of tangrams. Chu Yu sat behind her and watched her daughter play. Amethyst sat on a stool with a job in her hand.
Seeing Qi Niang coming in, Tianhui's body dodged behind and avoided Chu Yu's arms.
Chu Yu was a little unbearable when she saw her daughter like this, but every three days, Qi Niang pierced the golden needle for Tianhui, which was explained by Fang Chonggong before leaving. For the sake of her daughter, although Chu Yu knew that Tianhui was afraid, she could only lower her head and coax her daughter: "Don't be afraid, Tianhui will be fine soon." ”
In fact, when the golden needle enters the acupoint, it only hurts when the skin is broken. It's just that Tianhui was bluffed before, so every time she saw Qi Niang coming, she was still scared.
She didn't cry today, but she looked at everyone in confusion, turned her head, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, where is Daddy?" ”
Every time she did acupuncture before, Cao Hao bought small things from outside, which made Amethyst coax and coax.
Chu Yu listened to her daughter's question, only then did she remember the children's toys that her husband bought before leaving, walked to the end of the kang, took a set of Zhou Gongsuo from the drawer of the kang cabinet and handed it to her daughter, and said, "This is bought by Daddy, Tianhui is obedient, let your seventh sister treat you." ”
Tianhui hugged Zhou Gongsuo in his arms, and there was no smile on his face.
Mother and daughter were connected, although she didn't speak again, Chu Yu saw what she meant. said: "Daddy went out on an errand and will come back in a few days." When Daddy comes back, let's go to Grandma's house to play. ”
Tianhui listened, lowered her head, and fiddled with the newly acquired Zhou Gongsuo.
After Qi Niang greeted Chu Yu and Amethyst, she went to the side of the kang, took Tianhui's pulse, and then looked at her eyes.
Tianhui's body was stiff, but she didn't cry, and she obediently let Qi Niang give the needle.
After a while, Qi Niang took the silver needle, pointed to Zhou Gongsuo in Tianhui's hand, and said, "Grandma, this thing is eye-consuming, and it's best not to look for half an hour every day." Also, the girl's medicine can be stopped, and you can drink it with cassia seeds in water every morning and evening, which can be eye-catching. ”
Chu Yu responded one by one, Tianhui hugged Zhou Gongsuo in his hand, his little face was tightly clumped, he pouted, and stared at Qi Niang...... * Rehe, Chunwangfu Garden.
The seventh elder brother frowned and paced on the ground. Hongshu followed behind and looked up, but there was no squeak.
Fang Chonggong cured Tianhui's eyes, and he was also regarded as the benefactor of the seventh elder brother, after the seventh elder brother heard about it, he sent his son to the yamen of the Tai Hospital to invite him, but he had a closed-door banquet.
I heard that Fang Chonggong was studying a few new recipes, except for going to the Empress Dowager's palace every three days to ask for a pulse and replying to the emperor's decree, he closed the door and did not interact with outsiders.
Among them, there is weirdness.
The seventh elder brother stroked his forehead, thinking of a possibility, only to feel that his heart was "abrupt", and his face couldn't help but change.
After a while, he asked, "Did Hongzhuo's letter mention your fourteenth uncle?" ”
Hongshu thought about it for a while, and said: "I didn't mention it in the letter in the past few days, but I mentioned it in my heart last month, saying that Uncle Fourteen invited his brother-in-law to dinner with Uncle Sixteen, and I was afraid that he wanted to win over his brother-in-law." ”
When the seventh elder brother heard this, he was a little surprised, and said, "A few years ago, wasn't he very attached to your fourteenth uncle?" ”
Hongshu said with a smile: "He admired Uncle Fourteen's good archery skills when he was a child, and later his brother-in-law taught him hand-in-hand, so that he won Uncle Fourteen twice, and he talked less." Now, the second brother admires Uncle Thirteen, because he went to Uncle Thirteen to compete several times and lost. ”
When the seventh elder brother heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Think about the surname of the second son, and it is true.
Unknowingly, his eldest son-in-law has affected his sons, but he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse...... * Goldfish Alley, the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion.
The thirteenth brother took the reins of his horse, turned over and dismounted. Today, he accompanied his wife and children back to Shangshu Mansion to visit the sick, and said that he would return at dusk.
Zhao Jia's carriage went directly into the gate and went to the second gate. The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Master, the fourteenth master has sent a post today, and the latter one wants to invite the master to eat and drink." ”
When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, his footsteps paused, and said, "I know, Ming'er will send someone to send a reply." ”
The housekeeper bowed in response, and the thirteenth elder brother let out a long sigh and strode towards the second gate. The housekeeper looked at the vigorous back of the thirteenth elder brother, only to feel that his eyes were unstoppable, and he couldn't help but lower his head and wipe his eyes with his sleeve.
Their master has come back to life; These thirteen elder brothers' mansions are also alive...... * Henan Mansion, Yiyang County, and the mountains.
Cao Xiang looked at the starry sky, looked back at the makeshift tent, and the quiet distant mountains, and felt a little anxious.
It has been nearly a month since he was dragged to the mountains by the Kang brothers. In the first half of the month, he was still looking for an opportunity to escape, but when he was caught, beaten with a board, and traveled hundreds of miles into the mountains, he gave up.
Even if he wanted to run now, he didn't have confidence in whether he could run out of this mountain.
Thinking of the delicate wife and weak son at home, Cao Xiang was extremely worried in his heart, looking forward to the early entry of the imperial court soldiers and horses into the mountain; However, thinking of the charges borne by the Kang brothers and these coerced people, he was conflicted in his heart.
No one thought of killing him, but wearing that official uniform, the white eyes of the people fell on him like a needle prick.
In the end, he would rather wear the jade on the buckled belt and change coarse cloth clothes with others, so that he could be more comfortable. Fortunately, he is young, and he is different from the fat and big-eared corrupt officials in the eyes of the people, so after changing his clothes, no one is too embarrassed about him......
