Chapter 70: Family Affair (1)

The convoy of the Hussar General's Mansion marched on the official road back to Beijing, and there were not many people in the convoy to escort them, but all of them were elite soldiers; The carriages of the convoy are decorated, gorgeous and ostentatious, and at first glance they do not look like generals' mansions, but like some nouveau riche who suddenly made a fortune.

Hua nestled impatiently in the car, rode himself a tall horse, and walked at the head of the convoy. The wind blew, and the red gold wind chimes hanging from the four corners of the roof jingled, and Hua Shi was most disgusted with these bells and whistles, and raised his horsewhip and whipped it: "Where did you get these flashy things!" ”

Cai Li yelled and poked his head out of the car: "Mother, you can keep safe!" ”

A few strings of broken wind chimes, in addition to showing off your wealth, can you also keep safe?! Hua was about to reprimand him for "nonsense", when he suddenly saw his sturdy figure that was extremely incommensurate with the name of the gentleman, and his neat skills even after hurting his legs, he couldn't help but be silent.

From ancient times to the present, the generals who hold military power have always been the object of jealousy of kings, especially in the peaceful and prosperous times, but their Cai family has become more and more favored in recent years, all because Cai Fuguang has made meritorious contributions to guarding the frontier, and it is not because Cai Li is not disobedient, so that the emperor is particularly relieved?

It is easy to expose the edge, it is difficult to be low and introverted, and it is even more difficult to waste your life when you are obviously talented. Hua Shi thought about it, a little sad, and his tone was a little gentle: "It's windy outside, and your leg is injured, go to the car and rest." ”

Cai Li retracted into the car, picked up the Babao box again, picked out a piece of braised bean curd and threw it into his mouth, and a smile overflowed between his eyebrows.

Fuliu swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and said, "Young master, this dried tofu smells fragrant, reward me with a piece." ”

Cai Li hugged the box tightly and did not move: "When you return to Beijing, you can choose the dried tofu from Bianfangzhai." ”

"How can the dried tofu of Bianfangzhai have this fragrance!" Fu Liu's eyes looked at the Eight Treasures box, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.

Cai Li thought he was in the way, and kicked him away with his left foot: "Go aside!" I've known Miss Shen for two years, and it's only the first time I've received snacks, how can I give them to you? ”

Heavy color and light little guy! Furu thought angrily and squatted down in the corner of the carriage.

Cai Li picked out another piece of peach crisp and ate it, and said beautifully: "My leg is too much to hurt, it's been two years, Miss Shen has never looked at me with a straight eye, but now she is so good to me, it can be seen that she has changed her mind." ”

I just sent a box of snacks, and I called it so good to him? Isn't the young master's requirements too low? Fuliu thought about it, but didn't dare to say it, but began to swallow his saliva again: "Young master, you have never liked sweets, and I will do these few pieces of peach cake, right?" ”

"Who says I don't have a sweet tooth?" In order to refute Fuliu's words, Cai Li threw another piece of peach crisp into his mouth.

"When did you start craving sweets?" Furu asked angrily.

"Right now!" Cai Li said confidently, turned around with the box, and didn't even let Fu Liu.

In the post house, Hu Shupan sat in front of the desk, reading the official documents while listening to the attendant's official report.

The attendant took out a few gift slips from his sleeve and said, "My lord, the prefect of Hangzhou, the Tongzhi of Hangzhou, the order of Fuyang County, and the order of Changhua County...... They all sent people to send local products, saying that they were for adults to try and learn about the local customs by the way......"..

"Return it all." Hu Shu was expressionless and did not raise his head.

"Yes." The attendant put away the gift list, took out a few more orders that had been bound together, and presented them.

On those lists, the tables were neatly drawn, filled in the dates and matters, but Hu Shu, who was known to everyone to be rich and rich, could not understand it.

"What is this?" Hu Shu picked up the list and asked.

"My lord, this is the itinerary arranged by Cai Gongzi for you." The attendant replied.

"Cai Li arranged a trip for me?" Hu Shu thought he had misheard, and asked again, "What did Cai Li arrange for me?" ”

He is an official of the imperial court, and he needs Cai Li to arrange a trip for him?

"Yes, Cai Gongzi left a message before leaving, saying that you promised him that you would visit Miss Shen once a day, so you specially planned a specific itinerary for you, all of which are on these lists." The attendant replied, "Cai Gongzi also said, please be sure to keep it secret for him, and don't tell Miss Shen that this is what he meant, because he wants to surprise her when the dust settles." ”

It turns out that the year, month and day on this list are visited once, and the year, month and day ask if there is any difficulty, and the year, month and day give a gift to the festival, is this what it means?

He promised Cai Li to take care of Shen Yiyi, but he doesn't have to be meticulous to this extent, right?! Hu Shu picked up the list and was thinking about whether to tear it up, throw it away or burn it, when the attendant spoke again: "My lord, Cai Gongzi still left a sentence, if you don't do it, he will not only not let Miss Cai San cook, but will also do his best to ruin your errand of entertaining distinguished guests." ”

After the attendant finished speaking, he cautiously persuaded: "My lord, anyway, Cai Gongzi's request is not too much, or you can follow it, his ability to do bad things, but the capital is a must, if he intends to make trouble, no matter how careful the arrangement is, it will be ruined for you......"

Hu Shu shook the list vigorously: "He asked me to run so diligently, so he wasn't afraid that I would fake it and ruin his good deeds first?" ”

The attendant said: "Cai Gongzi said, you are a decent person, and he believes in your person." ”

"And I have to thank him?" Hu Shu looked at the date marked on the list, snapped it, and slapped it back to the bookcase, "It's really a gentleman who is easy to guard, and a villain is difficult!" Let's go, go to Beiguanmen Wazi. ”

In the tiles of the North Gate, there was a lot of noise, but as soon as you turned into the alley, it was like walking into another world. It's not the first time Hu Shu has come here, but he still can't help but praise: "It's a good place to be quiet in the middle of the noise, and Miss Shen will choose the location." ”

His little servant Songyan smiled and said: "Shizi, I heard Hu Youwei say that Miss Shen thinks this house is too quiet and doesn't like it, but it was her maid who insisted on buying it." ”

Don't like to be too quiet? Is that what you like to be lively? It's a good match with Cai Li. Hu Shu thought about it and walked to the door of the small house.

The little guy on the door already recognized Hu Shu, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly led him in.

Hu Shu walked into the hall and saw that the Taishi chair and coffee table in the hall had all been removed, replaced by a wide and long wooden table.

On one side of the long table stood many slaves, men and women, all attentive; On the other side of the long table, stood Shen Yiyi, holding a wooden cup in her hand, talking to the slaves.

Hu Shu was forced to come, and he was originally going to take a look at Shen Yiyi and leave, but at this moment, he was attracted by the things on the long table and walked over.
