Chapter 202: How to deal with rumors
Cao Jun stood on the steps, a little hesitant.
Do you want to chase after the bottom?
Under the observation of the eye, there is a green trace that winds from the inner house of Gaofu all the way forward, leading to the direction of the mountain outside the city.
It must be the traces left by the flower thief.
If you chase it at this moment, it will be very dangerous in the mountains, and Cao Jun will not be sure, but there is a risk of folding himself in it.
It's just a little guilty, and I can't afford to put myself in it.
If you don't chase it, you can't explain it to Gaofu.
It's good that the people of Nanshan Dao are here.
There are also some individuals who can discuss.
Cao Jun sighed, but there was a sudden cry of pain among women in the attic behind him.
The people outside heard that they were shushing each other.
Although the group of people did not say it explicitly, the look on their heads and ears had betrayed the worry in their hearts, "My own young lady must have been given to Huo Huo by the flower thief." ”
Some people are indignant, some people are quiet, and some people are secretly gloating.
The relationship between these servants and the Gao family was roughly equivalent to the relationship between employees of private enterprises and their bosses in later generations.
Seeing that the boss's family had entered the thief and suffered, some employees who usually held a grudge because of the uneven distribution of benefits began to secretly have fun.
Even the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion was embarrassed.
He dispersed the servants and subordinates gathered in the inner courtyard, left Cao Jun behind, and walked towards the distraction worriedly.
The inside and outside of the house soon fell silent.
After a while, the housekeeper appeared in front of Cao Jun again, "Master Cao, my master is invited." ”
The latter followed him into Miss Gao's attic, the curtain inside was still hidden, and Mrs. Gao and the personal maid were nowhere to be seen, and only a faint sound of intermittent conversation could be heard.
Presumably, a few people have not recovered from the previous horror.
As the head of the family, Master Gao's face had regained his composure, and he began to consider the follow-up impact of this matter.
Especially the impact on the family.
He looked at Cao Jun with a puzzled expression, and asked, "I wonder if Master Cao has seen the face of the flower thief clearly, but he is sure to arrest him?" ”
"This ...... That thief is powerful, I only saw a background, and now he has escaped from Gaofu, but please rest assured, Master Gao, I will definitely track it down. ”
After all, it was an accident under his own care, and Cao Jun could not escape the blame.
Unexpectedly, Master Gao changed his words, and asked about Cao Jun's family affairs.
"Who is Master Cao, who else is in the family, and what are your plans in Huangshan County?"
Cao Jun's face also began to be puzzled.
Thinking that this high mansion has entered a thief, it can be regarded as a bitter master, so he has to carefully answer them one by one.
"I am from Hubei, my parents are not there, I couldn't live when I was a child and entered the temple, I learned some skills in the temple, and now I have a house in Huangshan County, and I plan to settle here."
Master Gao looked at the growing hair on Cao Jun's head, and suddenly said, "Master Cao is a monk?" ”
Cao Jun touched his hair.
A few months have passed, and the short hair has turned into long hair, and after a while, you can tie it together and make a hairpin.
The two of them asked and answered, and the questions were all about Cao Jun's private affairs, and even the surrounding atmosphere became unpredictable.
The door curtain inside was suddenly opened, and Mrs. Gao walked out with a sad face, her eyes glanced at several people, and finally fell on Cao Jun, and asked, "Are you willing to marry Wan'er?" ”
"What?"
Although Cao Jun had some premonitions before, he was still taken aback when the other party asked angrily and directly.
He hesitated and replied: "Miss Gao has not lost her body, and she still has a marriage contract, why did the woman say this?" ”
"It's not lost, but you've seen it, and you've been robbed of the flower thief...... How will you let Gaofu gain a foothold in Huangshan County in the future? Where is my daughter's name? ”
"Only if you withdraw the previous marriage contract first, and then you marry my family Wan'er, can this matter be fulfilled."
Cao Jun was overjoyed, not only did he not feel that he was being coerced, but he felt that he had taken a big advantage.
If this incident hadn't happened, with Miss Gao's life experience and external conditions, how could she have anything to do with him?
What's more, judging from his modern thinking, Miss Gao has not really lost her body.
It's just that it's a little bad to spread out.
Cao Jun's eyes rolled, and he thought about it in a blink of an eye.
He didn't shirk either, but just made a small request, "Can you let me talk to Miss Gao alone?" ”
Mrs. Gao was still angry, and it seemed that Cao Jun did not agree and wanted to swallow him alive.
Still on the side of the old man Gao is reasonable, he pulled Mrs. Gao over, and explained to Cao Jun: "The marriage contract is a major event in life, Master Cao's parents are not there, and he is alone in a foreign country. ”
In fact, there is a subtext at the back, "Anyway, it's not like I haven't seen it before." ”
Cao Jun saw that Mrs. Gao was still in place, and his anger did not dissipate, and he did not wait for the other party to reply, and directly opened the door curtain and walked in.
Apparently the conversation outside was also heard by the people inside.
When the two girls saw Cao Jun, they both blushed and lowered their heads.
Seeing that Miss Gao was dressed and leaning on the edge of the bed with his head down, Cao Jun took two steps forward, pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if Miss Gao is willing to marry Cao?" ”
Miss Gao is only a teenager, and in a short period of time, she has encountered the frivolity of flower thieves and the marriage arranged for her by her parents, and her mind is still in chaos.
In this era, it is rare to pay attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and it is rare for Cao Jun to come to ask for her opinion on such a purpose.
At first, she and Cao Jun had only met once, but they only knew that the other party was powerful, and there was no other impression.
After hearing Cao Jun's inquiry this time, a trace of sweetness suddenly appeared in the originally sad heart.
She secretly glanced at Cao Jun, lowered her head and whispered, "It's all up to your parents." ”
Since she answered like this, it means that she has the intention of accepting Cao Jun.
Cao Jun arched his hand again, and comforted him softly: "You are resting at home these days, and we will help you arrange other things." ”
At this moment, this situation, it is not easy for the two to say much.
Just as Cao Jun turned around and was about to leave, the maid on the side suddenly knelt in front of Cao Jun and begged: "Please don't let go of that thief, it's good to fulfill the name of the young lady." ”
"Rest assured, before the wedding, the thief will disappear forever."
It used to be a business matter, and if Miss Gao married him, it would become a private matter.
His daughter-in-law, only he can watch and play, and the flower thief has already become a thorn in Cao Jun's eyes.
If you don't pull this thorn out, wouldn't you risk being cuckolded?
How could Cao Jun endure it.
When Mrs. Gao saw Cao Jun coming out of the separation, she didn't ask how the two were talking, and asked directly: "When do you plan to invite a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage?" ”
Cao Jun's mentality at this time has unconsciously changed.
I used to think that the other party was domineering, both strong and unreasonable, but this time I felt that the other party was an elder who thought about his daughter and family.
The words also became polite and polite.
Cao Jun bowed his head and saluted: "The little nephew has neither a brother nor an elder in this Huangshan County, and it is all up to the woman to decide. ”
"That's fine, you go home and wait for good news, and I will get married for you this month."
Master Gao stroked his long beard, and when he looked at Cao Jun again, the meaning in his eyes changed again, and there was a hint of the old man looking at his son-in-law.
By the time the two sides reached an agreement, it was already late at night.
Cao Jun stayed directly on the roof for the night.
The next day he returned home.
