From the capital to Rehe, it is an official road, a bluestone road with a width of zhang.

Because there are women and carriages, the journey is slow. In the past few hundred miles, Cao Hao has also walked several times, and it is rare to have such a person who believes in the reins of horses and looks at the flowers and willows.

He really thought that he was taking a vacation and traveling for himself, so he didn't urge the carriage to go fast.

Even if the speed is mediocre, there will always be an end to the road of hundreds of miles, and after leaving Beijing for six days, Cao Hao took his wife and daughter to the Rehe River.

Along the way, the winter cold has faded, and the spring is strong.

On the garden side of King Chun's Mansion, I received the news from the capital a few days ago and cleaned up the residence of Cao Hao and his wife. The head of the Rehe Palace also sorted out the official office, and waited for Cao Hao, the chief manager of the Internal Affairs Office.

The women of the common people are nothing to show their faces. On the streets, there is no shortage of big girls and little daughters-in-law who carry baskets to buy vegetables.

Cao Hao originally wanted to persuade Chu Yu to change her clothes and take her around the street, but considering Tianhui, he made a slight modification to the itinerary of going out.

Rehe Palace is a summer resort. Although it has only been a few years since it was fully completed, some of the pavilions and buildings have been in existence for more than ten years, so there are not two places that need to be repaired.

The subordinate officials of the Construction Division and the head of the Rehe Palace made a list of the places that needed to be repaired, and Cao Hao took a general look, although it was said that the work that cost money, but how much it needed to be spent, it was impossible to see it.

The bidding of the Ministry of Internal Affairs mentioned in the capital a few years ago does not seem to have reached Rehe, and this side is still acting according to the old practice.

Cao Hao had spent time in the household department and had some understanding of the current financial system. It is a rough budget based on the previous year's taxes.

Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made some money due to procurement and bidding, it is not one or two places that are worried about the millions of taels of silver. Looking at the shining eyes of the subordinate officials of the Construction Division and Rehe, Cao Hao knew that after this repair list, there was a lot of oil and water in it.

What to do? Cao Hao read the list and did not approve it immediately.

He didn't cut off other people's financial routes and became a thorn in the eyes of others, but this kind of project is too much, and if you are not careful, you will have to carry the black pot, and you can't say it clearly.

Cao Hao could only sigh, he thought that he had picked a light job, and it would be troublesome when he got it.

After pondering for two days, he handed over the list and asked the people from the construction department to make a detailed budget list, and handed it in within three days.

According to the usual year, the Holy Driving Dragon Boat Festival will be before the Rehe Palace, even if the construction starts now, the construction period of less than two months is a bit rushed.

I prepared more materials here, and waited for Cao Hao to arrive, and started construction after signing.

Unexpectedly, Cao Hao was unhurried, and what kind of budget was listed, and the faces of the subordinate officials and the officials on this side of the palace were green.

Although some people want to give gifts directly to King Chun's mansion, Cao Hao is really more famous.

Less than three months, 10 million taels of silver, where is this the ability of ordinary people? People with such ability will still look at the eighteen thousand taels of filial piety they offer?

On the Yiduli side, there are already many people who have come to inquire about it.

Yidu responded with a smile on his face, but he didn't have a serious word in his mouth, so anxious that those people jumped to their feet.

In private, Yi Duli complained to Cao Hao a lot. How hard they worked in the capital did they implement the method of procurement bidding in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Unexpectedly, on the side of Rehe, it was beyond the reach of the whip and could not reach out.

Now that the construction period is urgent, although Yi Duli is dissatisfied with the wanton behavior of the people here, he does not approve of Cao Hao's delay.

In that way, if the repair is not completed by the time the holy car comes, it will be very troublesome, and you will have to wear a hat of "ineffective work".

*Rehe, Bachelor's House, Partial Hospital.

Yang held the bird's nest and watched the maid put out the new flags one by one, and only felt that Yuzi had never been so comfortable. This place is spacious, the house is much bigger than in Beijing, and she doesn't have to look at the faces of her mother-in-law and eldest woman, how can she be in a bad mood?

Ituri was annoyed by the people on the other side of the palace, and he came back early.

Originally, the Yang family was worried about the main college, but after marrying into the academy for a few years, she also knew some rules. I knew that even if I wanted it, Ituli wouldn't allow it.

No matter how much he dotes on the concubine, the premise is that Yang Ruixue is well-behaved and gentle and sensible.

Even if the Yang family and the Zhaojia family are-for-tat, they must be measured, otherwise Yi Duli will not be the first one.

"What do you mean by making a list......" Iduli sat on the kang, grabbed a handful of peanuts and ate them, and said this for some reason.

"Master, the list ......" Yang Shi was puzzled when he listened, turned his head and asked.

"Well, there's such a thing, when Mr. Cao came here, he didn't sign the list on the side of the palace and the construction department, but asked them to write a budget list. What exactly does he mean? I'm really afraid that the silver will be used too much, and the emperor will blame it, or ......"

In the end, the Yang family came from a businessman's family, unlike ordinary women, and they don't know anything about foreign affairs.

She put down the bird's nest, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Master, Cao Ye is a smart person, he is guarding against being pushed into the tank, so he wants this list." This list is clear, whether it is materials or labor. After saying that there is a mistake in the silver money, it must be investigated according to the list, Cao Ye's side, the sky, a crime of 'negligence'. ”

When Yi Duli heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "I can't complain, I will say that he has always been shrewd, and he should not suffer this dumb loss." ”

Seeing Yi Duli's words praising Cao Hao, Yang couldn't help but feel upset, only to feel that his thoughts were complicated, and he was speechless in a daze.

Seeing that Yang was silent, Yi Du immediately looked up and was quite surprised to see her look like this.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you think, do you miss your brother and sister again?" It's hard to say from your sister's side, but your brother also came to Rehe this time. If you meet, help you think of a way......"

When Yang heard this, his eyes slowly turned red, and he said softly: "Master...... Or does the master know how to hurt people...... "In the end, it is already a pear blossom with rain, weak and lovely.

Seeing her like this, Yidu's body was already crisp, and he hurriedly hugged her in his arms and coaxed: "Don't cry, I know that you are wronged." But the old lady was right, and it was a good thing to hand over her daughter to her wife to raise. ”

If Fang is the posture, when it comes to his daughter now, Yang only feels that his heart and liver hurt, and he fell into Yi Duli's arms, crying silently...... * Puren Temple, Ciyun Puyin Temple.

It enshrines the Buddha of the past, the Buddha Shakyamuni of the present, the Buddha Maitreya of the future, and the eighteen Arhats on the altar.

Chu Yu knelt in front of the Buddha, looked at the solemn Buddha, and prayed sincerely.

Cao Hao stood behind his wife, and although he couldn't hear her prayer, he could guess the content. What else could there be, it was nothing more than Tianhui's eye disease.

Tianhui is three years old, and it is when children are naughty, but because of her eye disease, she is quiet, and it makes people feel distressed.

Although she can already speak, Tianhui rarely takes the initiative to speak.

One day, she will grow up, and what will happen without the protection of her parents at that time?

When Cao Hao thought of this, he only felt that his chest was blocked, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Although he was afraid of death before, he never thought about how long he would live. Now, standing in front of the Buddha, for the sake of his daughter, he is looking forward to living to be seventy or eighty.

Chu Yu had already gotten up, walked to Cao Hao's side, and said in a low voice: "E, let's go!" ”

Cao Hao nodded, looked at the bottom of his wife's flower pot, and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's eat fast before leaving." ”

Chu Yu had nothing to say, and the husband and wife were led to the room.

When their husband and wife came over, Zhiran and Jiang Jian also came, and the two followed a monk who could speak Chinese to debate Zen.

Cao Hao set two vegetarian tables, one for them and their husbands and wives, and one for people to send to the meditation room.

After running out of vegetarian food, Cao Hao sent people to see Zhiran and Jiang Jian, but those two were studying the mysteries of the Yellow Sect.

Cao Hao didn't urge them, and the two of them went out of the temple first. Chu Yu's hand was holding a brocade bag half the size of a palm, needless to say, it was designated as a peace charm for her daughter.

When the couple returned to the garden, it was already twilight.

Tianhui had a small face and looked very unhappy. Hearing the sound of her parents talking, she turned around and rushed to the kang.

"Tianhui woke up, and my mother brought you vegetarian dumplings." Seeing her daughter like this, Chu Yu stepped forward and said, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat a few pieces?" ”

Tianhui lowered her little head, still silent.

At noon, when the husband and wife wanted to go out, they were just in time for Tianhui to take a nap, so they didn't call her. In the end, it is a child, I am a little tired on the road, and I can sleep very well in these two days. Therefore, Cao Hao and Chu Yu were reluctant to call her.

Cao Hao doted on his daughter, and just wanted to come forward to persuade him, but he saw Xicai come in and said, "E, Wei Ye has something to look for, and he has already sent someone to ask twice." ”

Cao Hao listened, and said to Tianhui: "It's not that I didn't deliberately take you there, but I saw you asleep." Ming'er, Hou'er, take you out to play, listen to your mother. ”

Tianhui listened, and then nodded.

Cao Hao's heart was a little calm, and he went out of the weeping flower gate and went to Wei Hei's hospitalized child. Among the people who came to Rehe with Cao Hao this time, in addition to Wei Hei, there was also Wei Hei's wife Vanilla.

In fact, except for Wei Hei and his daughter-in-law, a few foreign stewards followed, and the daughter-in-law was an errand in the inner house.

On Wei Hei's side, in addition to the two of them, there was also a small guest.

Cao Hao has seen many children since he was a child, but there are not many who are as energetic as this little guest.

However, now is not the time to praise this child's spirit.

Cao Hao only felt a headache, according to the common things he knew from the book, shouldn't this master take apprentices to the deep mountains and old forests? How did it come to his eyes, but it was different.

"Master Cao, is Master Fang really not dead?" The little guest was none other than Fang Qiniang, who was brought back with him when he rescued the Tian family from the Fang family's house.

Fang Qiniang looked up with a small face, looked at Cao Hao with a stammer, looked at it and asked.

"Hmm!" Cao Hao nodded and looked at Cao Jia with some doubt.

Cao Jia is like a legendary martial arts master, who caught a child and insisted on saying that the bones were strange and wanted to pass on his mantle.

The little girl was stubborn, she just refused to follow the study, and shouted to go back there to find her father.

Although Cao Hao is soft-hearted, but where his eyesight is not enough, he still hopes that his subordinates can handle things cleanly and neatly, so that he will have less trouble.

The more Fang Qiniang didn't learn, the more Cao Jia wanted to teach, and he had already made a condition, as long as he defeated him, he would let the little girl leave to find her father.

The two have been facing each other for half a month, and the little girl's mouth is still hard and tight.

Cao Jia looked at Fang Qiniang and said, "Didn't you want to ask the uncle to be a middleman, why didn't you mention it?" ”

Fang Qiniang raised her chin and said, "I was about to mention it." Cao Ye, this person said to me, saying that if I defeat him, let me go, you can be a middle-aged person, okay? ”

Although I don't know what Cao Jia's identity was in the past, Cao Hao has seen his ability.

Even if the little girl is really the legendary bone Qingqi, in the end, the child is a child, and it is not a gamble that can be completed in a while.

Therefore, Cao Hao nodded and said, "Study hard." ”

Fang Qiniang's little face was full of joy, and she looked at Cao Jia with a little provocation.

Cao Jia had already stopped coughing and got up to leave. Fang Qiniang hesitated for a moment, followed up, and asked, "Do you start today?" I'm going to beat you. ”

The room was quiet, and only Cao Hao and Wei Hei were left.

"What's the matter, but what's the news in Kyori?" Cao Hao asked.

Although there was Fang Qiniang's matter just now, Cao Hao knew that Wei Hei would not frown and worry about such trivial matters.

"Childe, something is wrong, there are a lot of faces outside the garden. The master has already seen it, and he has also disguised himself to find a reason, and there are a few masters in the seriousness. Wei Hei said.

"Friend or foe?" Cao Hao clenched his fists and asked.

"I couldn't see it before, but last night someone wanted to visit the garden at night, but they intercepted it. Looking at them this morning, it looks like they're here to help. Wei Hei frowned and said: "It's just that this way is a bit sneaky, and it makes people feel bottomless." ”

"Childe, Master Fu just said, I hope Childe will travel less in the near future, and we will talk about it when we find out the details of those people." Wei Hei said.

The master in his mouth is "Cao Jia".

Although he did not accept apprentices explicitly, Cao Jia gave instructions to Wei Hei and Zheng Hu.

Cao Hao didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he came to this place, and the guards he brought with him were limited, so he couldn't discuss with his father at any time. Thinking of this, Cao Hao added worries to his heart.

* Beijing, Jiubeizi House.

"What, ten thousand taels of gold?" When Brother Jiu heard this, his eyes had already lit up, and a little smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said, "I didn't expect that kid to be really valuable." ”

“…… That bastard boy, I want to see how you deal with it......" Brother Jiu sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and the smile on his face was about to bloom.

* Inside Andingmen, Prince Yong's Mansion, study.

The fourth elder brother looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face was cloudy, and after a while, he opened his mouth and asked Dai Jin, who was standing on the side, and said, "Cao Yin, what's the movement?" ”

Dai Jin replied: "Two days ago, I sent someone out of Beijing, and it looked like I was going to Rehe. ”

When the fourth elder brother heard this, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Two days ago, did you say that the news from Cao Yin's side was two days earlier than ours...... Is the Cao family having another way, or is it the ...... from Huang Ama's side?"

When Dai Jin saw the expression of the fourth elder brother, he knew that this master was shocked at the moment. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, there are not many people who come and go with Cao Yin, but there should be clues to ......."
