Chapter 8 Du Shi Niang, the new aunt
Du Siniang looked at the deed handed to her, and asked in a daze, "What do you mean?" ”
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "I don't want to force others to do things I don't like, so what's the difference between me and Li Jia?" ”
Du Siniang looked at the contract in Cao Bin's hand, her eyes were full of struggle, and she said for a long time:
"Li Jia sold me for a few thousand taels of silver, you know I have a treasure chest, you ......"
As she spoke, she took out a small box from her arms and opened it, "Are you really willing?" ”
I saw that the treasure chest was dazzling, and just a layer of treasure on the surface was worth tens of thousands of gold.
In life, there are three things that are the most difficult to get rid of, money, power, and beauty.
Money should come first, and there are few people in this world who can withstand the temptation of money.
Especially the endless amount of money.
Du Siniang stared at Cao Bin's expression tightly, as if she wanted to see what he was thinking.
Cao Bin laughed, and said with some speechlessness:
"You underestimate me too much, it's just some floating money, and when I invited the whole Bianjing girl, it cost no less than 100,000 taels!"
As he spoke, he directly tore up Du Shi Niang's deed of sale, threw it into her treasure chest, and said:
"You don't have to worry about it this time! You're free! ”
Du Siniang looked at the thousands of confetti in a daze, and didn't react for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before her eyes were full of tears and said, "It's me who missaw you, and everyone missaw you." ”
As she spoke, she bumped into Cao Bin's arms and said, "You have bought me, I am your person, even if there is no deed, this is the case." ”
Then she said with some sorrow: "Besides...... I'm a weak woman, even if I have some wealth, where can I go? The world is full of wicked people. ”
Cao Bin looked at her delicate appearance with pear blossoms and rain, and couldn't help laughing: "You have to think clearly, I'm not a good person!" ”
Du Siniang looked at Cao Bin with tears in her eyes and said, "I don't care what others think of you, you are a good person in my heart." ”
Cao Bin complained: "Shi Niang, these days, don't you want to send a good person card!" ”
Du Siniang looked at him suspiciously and said, "What did Cao Xun say?" ”
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "It's nothing...... Damn, the people from Kaifeng Mansion are here. ”
As soon as he looked up, he saw a handsome man in a bright red robe, wearing a black hood, and holding a sword, leading people to hurry.
He stretched out his sword and stood in front of Cao Bin and said:
"Little Hou Ye, please let go of this girl!"
Cao Bin's face suddenly stinked, and he asked unhappily, "Who are you?" ”
The man with the sword clenched his fists and arched his hand: "I am a four-grade imperial guard with a sword, Zhanzhao, and now I am under the command of Master Bao." ”
Cao Bin was shocked in his heart, and looked carefully: "You are the royal cat Zhanzhao?" ”
No wonder he's so handsome, he's a childhood idol.
Zhan Zhao said with a serious face:
"Little Hou Ye, why did you hijack the witness? This is a sin on top of a sin, so please don't know the law and break the law. ”
Cao Bin then remembered that now he was a villain, and he was fighting wits and courage with decency, so he hurriedly retorted:
"Zhan Guard, don't talk nonsense, how can you tell that I am taking hostages?"
"And I haven't been convicted yet, can I not come out and breathe?"
Zhan Zhao said solemnly: "Little Hou Ye, you have a major suspicion, Lord Bao is thinking that you are seriously ill, so he let you recuperate at home and wait for a retrial." ”
"Now the little marquis is getting drunk with the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, but he secretly came out to find witnesses, which has to make Zhan doubt your intentions."
Cao Bin said with a smile: "What does the drunkenness of your servant have to do with me, I just feel sorry for my brothers who are on duty and send some wine and food." ”
"It's more reasonable for me to be with the witnesses, we're friends, so what's wrong with shopping together?"
Zhan Zhao frowned, not wanting to listen to Cao Bin's continued quibble, and said directly:
"In that case, then please let go of this girl and let her go back!"
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "Where can she go back?" It was the Yingchun Courtyard that kicked her out, and I took her home. ”
Zhan Zhao glanced at Cao Bin suspiciously, extremely suspicious that it was he who threatened the Spring Courtyard to let the Spring Courtyard drive Du Shi Niang out.
But he couldn't force the Spring Festival Courtyard to take in Du Shi Niang, so he groaned and said:
"Then the girl will go back to Kaifeng Mansion with me, and we will arrange accommodation for you."
As he spoke, he stepped forward to take Du Shi Niang away.
Cao Bin hurriedly stopped: "Why? She is not a prisoner, why did you take her into custody in Kaifeng Prefecture? ”
Zhan Zhao stopped his movements, frowned and looked at Cao Bin and said:
"It's not a detention, we are providing a place for this girl, the little marquis wants to invite someone home, and we have to ask the girl if she is willing, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at Du Siniang and said:
"Girl, don't be afraid, our Kaifeng Mansion will guarantee your safety, now go with Zhan."
He thought that Du Siniang would be very happy, but he didn't expect her to shake her head and say:
"Lord Zhan, I voluntarily followed...... Little Hou Ye's. ”
Zhan Zhao couldn't believe it: "...... you?" ”
Cao Bin snatched the reins of the horse and said, "Zhan Guard, you see, I said a long time ago that we are friends, but you have to suspect that I have bad intentions, this time I wronged a good person, right?" See you later! ”
So saying, he took the reins of his horse and left.
Zhan Zhao was stunned for a long time, and then waved his hand helplessly: "Withdraw, it seems that this case is difficult to handle." ”
A servant next to him said: "Hey, they all say that prostitutes are ruthless, I saw it today, and the lover has not died for a few days, and she has climbed the high branches." ”
Another official sighed: "It's not easy for her, her lover is dead, and people won't recognize her as a Qinglou woman, if she doesn't find a way out for herself, she won't end up in the future." ”
Zhan Zhao waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk about right and wrong behind your back, report to Lord Bao and see how he deals with it!" ”
At this time, Du Shi Niang rode on the horse and said in a tangled manner:
"Actually, I should have gone back to Kaifeng Mansion with them, and now I'm afraid they won't believe my testimony."
Cao Bin smiled: "Don't worry, I don't have your identity deed, who can prove our relationship?" They believe if they don't believe. ”
Soon, the two returned to the Zhongjing Mansion, and before they could get off their horses, an old man hurriedly greeted them.
He grabbed Cao Bin's hand and said hurriedly:
"Young master, why did you sell all your home? You're ...... too."
Cao Bin hurriedly turned over and dismounted, "Fu Bo, why did you come back so soon?" ”
This person is the old housekeeper of Zhongjing Houfu, who has followed the Cao family for three generations, and once saved the life of Cao Bin's grandfather on the battlefield, and is loyal.
Thanks to his strict management of the family, the Cao family has not completely fallen for two generations.
Half a month ago, he took his son out of Beijing to inspect the Cao family's grange, intending to retire and let his son take over part of the Cao family's affairs.
At this time, hearing Cao Bin's question, his anger came out:
"The grange has been sold to others, and I still inspect a bird's feather, if the master knows, I'm afraid he will crawl out of the grave in anger."
He used to be Cao Bin's grandfather's personal soldier, and he couldn't change his habits in the army for decades, so he occasionally came up with some vulgar words, and Cao Bin was used to it.
Cao Bin couldn't stop talking when he saw him falling, and he didn't care about him anymore, turned around and hugged Du Siniang.
Du Siniang glanced at him sweetly, and stood silently behind him with her burden.
Fu Bo only noticed Du Shi Niang at this time, and said suspiciously: "This is ......"
Cao Bin smiled: "This is your new aunt." ”
Fauber didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed respectfully.
Du Siniang was not unusual, but returned the gift as a matter of course.
Cao Bin then explained:
"Hey, isn't that no way? I'm killing someone now, how can I do it without some money? Now there are still people from our family in Kaifeng Mansion who want to testify against me! ”
He couldn't explain where the silver went, so he could only talk nonsense, and he couldn't say that he invited the girl in the Qinglou to take a holiday, this is not the point.
When Fauber heard this, he immediately glared and said:
"Our own family wants to testify against the young master? I see that they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and Lao Tzu hates the person who betrays his master the most. ”
As he spoke, he immediately jumped up and said:
"Young master, don't worry, I'll go meet them and see which of them dares to stand up in front of Lao Tzu."
Before the words fell, he had already beckoned his son to run out, and Cao Bin could still faintly hear his shouting:
"Let's go, follow me to Kaifeng Mansion."
Cao Bin didn't stop him, because as soon as he saw this person, he had a spectrum in his heart.
Fu Bo has always governed the family like the army, although he seems to be reckless, he is a careful person, and he will not be like Pang Yu.
The time soon came to the tenth day.
Early this morning, Cao Bin got up under Du Shi Niang's service, and waited anxiously for the summons of Kaifeng Mansion.
