"I didn't expect that at this time, I would still be able to find friends in the Cao family's land." Xie Huiyi sighed again and again, and hurriedly poured down a whole cup of tea. I've been busy all day, but I'm dying of thirst!

Xie Mulin hurriedly helped him fill the empty teacup, and took the freshly steamed dim sum: "Tell me the specific story." Is that friend of yours really tricked?! ”

Wen looked around worriedly, for fear that someone would come and hear: "Be quiet, don't alarm others." Xie Mulin mentioned to her that it was best not to let Wanqin know about these things, and not to tell Old Lady Xie and Xie Yingrong, lest they not keep their mouths tight enough and leak out. Wen felt that it was very reasonable, and he was wary of others in his heart.

Xie Mulin had already noticed that Mrs. Xie was sleeping in her room, Xie Yingrong was pulled by Aunt Dajin to do needlework, Wanqin was still taking care of a few patients, and the Li family was busy with their own affairs.

Wen turned around and came back to make sure that nothing was wrong, before returning to the table and letting Xie Huizhi open his mouth to explain the details.

Xie Huizhi didn't care, he hurried to eat and drink enough, and after taking a breath, he could tell the story: "I thought about it in advance, if you want to find someone, it's best to find someone who is honest and decent, and won't fall into the trap for me." But it's better for him to get closer to the Chengenhou Mansion, and it's convenient to pass on the word. So, I took a fancy to Cao Rong. ”

Cao Rong is not a descendant of the Cao family of Chengen Gong, and his ancestors are not even surnamed Cao.

Cao Rong's grandfather was originally Lao Chengengong's personal soldier when he was young, and later accumulated military exploits along the way, and the highest general Mingwei who achieved the fourth grade was the most important confidant of Lao Chengengong, not only was he given the surname Cao by Lao Chengengong, but even his son - that is, Cao Rong's father Cao Jian - was also accepted by Lao Chengengong as a righteous son, and was cultivated together with his own sons since he was a child.

Lao Chengengong's two sons-in-law competed with each other, whether it was the eldest son of the original match or the third son of the stepfamily, they had all won over the old man Cao, the confidant of Chengengong. However, the old man Cao is an upright man, he thinks that Lao Chengengong loves both sons equally, and no matter which side he favors, it will damage the interests of the other party, which is against the will of Lao Chengengong, so he does not favor the two and maintains neutrality, and would rather take his son to stay in the ancestral territory of the Cao family in the southwest than get involved in the dispute between the two young masters.

Old Man Cao's approach is of course more trusted by the old Chengengong, but on the other hand, whether it is Uncle Cao of Chengenhou or the third master of Pingnan Bocao, they no longer regard their father and son as their own people. When Lao Cheng'en Gong died, his sons became alienated from Old Man Cao. Not long after, the old man Cao also passed away, and his son Cao Jian couldn't even stay in the southwest, and after being transferred back to the capital, he has been idle, old, but he can't even marry a daughter-in-law. It was still a few old departments of the old Chengengong who couldn't see it anymore, and persuaded Chengenhou a few words, and Mrs. Chengenhou gave Cao Jian a second-class girl who was old and ready to be released to match people, so that he could become a family.

For Cao Jian, who was once commensurate with Cheng Enhou, Cao Erye and Ping Nanbo's brothers, such a marriage is enough to see the Cao family's contempt for him.

However, Cao Jian did not complain, and under the persuasion of his wife, he often went to the Chengenhou Mansion to ask for peace, and slowly, the two families moved around again. Although he still sends a gift to Pingnanbo's Mansion during the New Year's holidays, it doesn't seem to be biased towards the Cao family's room and the second room, but there is a wife from Chengenhou's Mansion, and he still slowly repairs his relationship with Chengenhou's Mansion. Even if Cheng Enhou and Cao Erye still don't regard him as their own, at least they have a harmonious relationship with him on the surface. Second Master Cao also helped him find an errand. He is now in the Jingwei command envoy to do a five-grade calmdown, a wife and children, a solid life, but also a harmonious family.

Cao Jian's only son, Cao Rong, is thirteen years old this year, born tall and strong, has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and his skills are very extraordinary. He inherited his grandfather's upright temper, and was as taciturn as his father, although the younger generation of the Cao family also took him out to play, but because he was a little preachy, and didn't like to joke, everyone thought he was boring, so they didn't like to pull him to play, only when hunting or testing martial arts, they would pull him to be a thug.

Xie Huizhi was having fun with the children of the Cao family, and he knew Cao Rong, and he also asked him to teach a few times. In the past, Xie Huizhi thought he was verbose and rarely got close to him, but he also knew that he was a straight and decent person. Now when he talked about finding someone who would not fall into the well and could pass the word to the Chengenhou Mansion, Xie Hui thought of him immediately.

What's even better is that when Xie Huizhi went to look for Cao Rong this morning, his mother happened to be at home, and when she heard that it was the concubine of the Xie family, she was a little reluctant, for fear that her son would suffer a loss. Although she didn't stop Cao Rong from seeing her friends, she quietly followed and listened to the corner.

When Cao Rong's mother was young, she was a talent who listened to the corners, and after many years, her skills have not diminished.

Therefore, she clearly heard Xie Huizhi complaining to Cao Rong and begging for a loan of twenty taels of silver for emergency relief, and complained a little angrily: "If it weren't for the Pingnan Bofu being too ruthless, I wouldn't have been able to even take out twenty taels of silver, so I could only come to you to borrow it." Pingnanbo Mansion is so ridiculous! Even if they had an agreement with the Wang family, when the daughter of the Wang family gained a firm foothold in the East Palace, they would persuade the prince to appoint their eldest lady as the crown princess, and it would be a few years later! For the sake of this idea, they are going to trap their brother-in-law to death, what do they think?! In the past ten years, the Xie family has given them more than one million taels of silver, which is really feeding the white-eyed wolf! ”

Cao Rong's mother gasped on the spot, and her voice was so obvious that even Xie Huizhi could hear it.

Cao Rong was an upright person, and he didn't think much about it: "Where did you hear this?" Impossible, right? The Cao family heard that there would be no crown princess, and only the eldest lady in the second room would be the crown prince. ”

Xie Huizhi sneered and said, "It's right that you guys think so, but will Pingnanbo Mansion be willing?" Their family has been beating the crown princess for a long time, right? I'm not talking nonsense, there are many people who know about this, except for Pingnanbo's mansion, Mrs. Pingnanbo's mother's Cheng family, and the Wang family, they all know it. The henchmen around several ladies and wives have all heard of it, even a few people who are favored in the master's house. He gave Cao Rong a look, "You know, my aunt is from Pingnanbo Mansion, and there are some things that she can find someone to inquire about." ”

Cao Rong frowned when he heard this. It was another infighting between the three heads of the Cao family, his grandfather and father had already suffered losses, and he didn't want to get involved.

However, he didn't want to get involved, and his mother didn't think so. Mrs. Cao was born as a second-class girl, and she has realized her dream of changing from a servant to a master, and now she is looking forward to going further and regaining the trust of the old lord Mrs. Chengenhou. She pretended to send refreshments to her son's friend, and said a few words of condolences to the young man Xie Huizhi who had just suffered at home.

Xie Huizhi said to Wen and Xie Mulin: "I pretended not to notice that she was tricking me, and said things vaguely according to the method that my second sister taught me." Cao Rong's mother seemed to take the matter very seriously. After I left his house, I hid nearby for a while, and saw her take Cao Rong to the second room of Cao's house, and then, together with Mrs. Cao, took a sedan chair to Chengenhou's mansion. ”

At this point, the plan is half complete. When the Cao family's big house and second room discover the small hands and feet of the third room, what will be the reaction? Queen Cao in the palace, will she really welcome a young lady who has not yet married into the East Palace, and is already full of calculations?
