Chapter 703: Cao Xiaowan (II)
"General." Cao Xiaowan, who was well-educated and had received special training, saw Yang Chengzu coming in, and hurriedly got up and bowed down, until Yang Chengzu said a few times to please, then he lowered his head and stood up with a blush on his face. Like a girl who first sees her lover, a heart jumps into a mess, her hands and feet are weak, and she doesn't know how to deal with herself.
Although the Ming Dynasty is not closed, the atmosphere in the south is also more civilized than in the north, such as Miss Cao herself, who also embroidered a good fire map, and has been trained in how to serve men before. But no matter what, the thought that she might be going to snow under this man tonight and beg for mercy made her tremble and unable to control herself. What's more, Yang Chengzu is handsome and majestic, and there is a world of difference from Xie Zun, who was almost old that year, just when she saw it, Miss Cao felt intoxicated, and she didn't know how many times she thanked the gods and Buddhas of the sky.
Such a father-in-law, even when everything is fine at home, is enough to make himself satisfied. He is his man from today on, serving him wholeheartedly, taking him as his own. He is his own heaven, and every word he says is a holy decree.
Cao Xiaowan, who met for the first time, made such a grand wish in her heart, seeing that the other party's eyes fell on her, looking at the appearance of her facial features, she didn't feel that the other party was unreasonable. On the contrary, I felt a little sweet and a little apprehensive, for fear that my appearance would not suit my husband's wishes.
Yang Chengzu's gaze turned around Miss Cao a few times, looking at it carefully as if admiring a work of art, in this era, she can definitely be regarded as stunning.
She is very small, petite and delicate, with a slender willow waist, and she is afraid that a gust of wind can blow people down. On a small face with a slap, delicate facial features are listed on it, and the whole person is like a porcelain doll, which makes people feel pity, and they are always afraid that if they are not careful, they will hurt her. The long skirt that mops the floor covers the feet, but if you want to come to the daughter of a big family, it should always be a three-inch golden lotus, so there is no need to test.
No matter how you look at it, this is a beauty that is enough to be called a beauty, but she is a little shorter in height, and her age is sixteen or seventeen, these two points do not meet his aesthetics, otherwise he is ready to float her away. Compared with Sun Xueniang, he still thinks this woman is better. Since Jiajing is crazy even with Xue Niang, is this Cao still afraid that he won't be able to stand the favor?
The only thing he was worried about now was that Xie Zun had already drunk the soup before he sent the person here, but there were a few experienced women in the family, and she could still ensure her chastity and integrity. He smiled and behaved very amiably, "Hello Miss Cao, in Xia Yang Chengzu, he is the commander of the Sanpin Jinyi Guard, and he is actually in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi." I wasn't in the house last night, and you're still used to living in my house, so no one bullied you, right? ”
"Cao Xiaowan, a slave, is seventeen years old this year, Pu Liu's posture is difficult to enter the general's eyes, and he is lucky to be able to serve the general. Since he should be wholehearted, he doesn't dare to make trouble in the house, and he doesn't dare to have a heart to fight with his sisters. In fact, a long time ago, the concubine admired the general's talent, and I have read the general's words, and I only hope that in the future, I can serve the general for a long time, spread branches and leaves for the general, and continue the incense. Her face was flushed, but she still tried to express her affection.
Before sending to Xie Mansion, she had already begun to learn the skills of how to serve men and knew how to make men happy with her. Seeing that it was still early, it shouldn't have reached that point, but thinking of so many female dependents of the Yang family, if he didn't take the initiative, he was afraid that the general wouldn't be able to remember himself. I also seized the time and poured out my admiration.
Yang Chengzu coughed a few times and interrupted her, "Miss Cao, I already know about Ling Zun." Before I came, I had already arranged for someone to do a few things, one was to redeem Lingtang and your siblings and bring them back so that your family could be reunited; The second is to find someone to go to the Criminal Department to deal with Ling Zun's lawsuit. I asked, and although Ling Zun was sentenced, he was not in good health because of the epidemic, and he was still in the prison cell. I have already sent people to check and try to get people out, and there are several other family members in prison, and the official has also arranged for people to fish them out. ”
Although the case of Chief Cao was judged, the person did not really send it to the northwest frontier guard, and Xie Zun's side was also a little unbearable. In case Miss Cao has a strong temperament and knows that her father is fine, she turns her head and hangs herself, and her arrangements will be in vain. Keeping people in prison is also a guarantee that Miss Cao will not turn back.
In fact, after the confiscation of the Cao family's property, the deficit owed by the Cao family was not large, and with the sale, Xie Zun paid less than two thousand taels of silver before and after, and the matter was smoothed out. Buying an official lady as a concubine for two thousand taels of silver is really cheap. But from another point of view, how many people are willing to fight some lawsuits for the concubine's family and contribute?
If Miss Cao sells herself to the Jiaofang Division, it is one thing to save her father with how much she is worth, but whose family she goes to be a concubine is just to ensure that she has a better life, and as for how much money her husband's family pays to help her with some lawsuits, it is completely up to her. Xie Zun reached out to help at the beginning of the year and filled the gap for Chief Cao, which was known as impatience for justice and righteousness, and the foundation was precisely because of this.
Cao Xiaowan herself also knows how big the relationship between the family is this time, although Yang Chengzu said easily, it is not easy to do these things. She opened her mouth slightly, and then fell to her knees, tears streaming out of her eyes, "General...... Concubinage...... The concubine has nothing to repay, only this innocent body can repay the general's great kindness. ”
Hearing her claim to be innocent, Yang Chengzu also fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, and hurriedly picked her up, and said, "Miss Cao, what are you talking about." Yang saved your family, just because he felt that your whole family was really pitiful, and since he knew it, he couldn't stand idly by. Miss Cao, could it be that in your eyes, Yang is a person who takes advantage of others' danger? ”
Miss Cao, who was taught to be obedient to men at home, saw Yang Chengzu angry, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted twice, "No, general...... The concubine body does not mean this. It's just that Master Xie sent the concubine body, so that he wants to serve the general as a concubine......"
"How Master Xie arranges it is his business, if Yang does something with Miss Cao, won't it be a coercion? You can rest assured that you will live in my house, and I will treat you like my sister, and I will never offend you in any way. Miss, please hurry up, don't think about it. ”
Yang Chengzu did what he said, Cao Xiaowan first moved to a courtyard with the best lighting, and a few obedient girls were her assistants, and also sent a few boxes of cage jewelry and satin to make good clothes. Liu saw her once, and was polite to her, and after saying a few words, he accepted her as his righteous daughter, making her half the mistress of the family.
Cao Xiaowan only felt that everything that happened was like a dream, and she decided that she had really met a gentleman this time. A few days later, when her family really appeared in front of her, she completely regarded Yang Chengzu as a great benevolent man of recreation, and was willing to break her bones to repay the great kindness.
