Chapter 442: Help
The head of the Wei family exhaled out of his wife's yard and went to the most favored concubine with his hands behind his back, but met the eldest daughter-in-law and a fair woman halfway.
When Cao saw his father-in-law, he hurriedly pulled his stepsister to salute: "Dad, I just told you something."
The Wei family master glanced at the woman and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Cao said: "This is my sister Cao Qingqing, I invited her to live at home for a while, to be a companion to Zhu'er, and to teach her to be a female celebrity by the way."
The head of the Wei family nodded: "You don't have to tell me these things, you just have to make up your own mind." With that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Cao Shi turned his head to look at his stepsister and whispered, "Father-in-law doesn't care about internal affairs, let's go and talk to my mother."
In fact, it goes without saying that it is okay, but the Cao family wants the stepsister to show her face in front of her mother-in-law, so that she can often come over to say goodbye to the housemother in the future, so that she will have the opportunity to meet Wei Zhan.
Cao Qingqing said softly, "This is natural, the little sister and my sister went to greet Mrs. Wang."
So, Cao led his sister to Mrs. Wang's yard.
Mrs. Wang didn't say anything about her eldest daughter-in-law taking her stepsister to live at home, after all, several daughters-in-law have their own yards, and they can take in whoever they want, and they don't care at all.
But when they came to pay a special visit, and the courtesies were exchanged, Mrs. Wang gave her two pieces of cloth and casually said a thoughtful and soothing word: "If you lack anything, tell your sister and let her buy it for you."
Cao Qingqing hurriedly gave a blessing: "Thank you Madame for your concern."
Coming out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard, Cao Shi whispered, "Now let's go and pay a visit to the county lord, maybe we can meet Qilang."
Cao Qingqing nodded shyly.
At this moment, Ying Bao and Wei Zhan were talking in the house: "The officials of the Internal Affairs Department said that the mansion should be set in Zhouhe County, and there is a ready-made mansion over there, and the three courtyards will be expanded."
The county lord's mansion is also equipped with a hundred and ten guards, as well as a number of coachmen and servants, so many people also have a place to live, and a stove to cook for them, so it is not enough to enter the mansion alone.
Wei Zhan didn't care where he lived, he just had to be with his wife. "Zhouhe County is not bad, but it is quite poor."
Not only was it poor, but there were not a few officials in that place who colluded with the squires to oppress the people.
There have also been new county orders to rectify it, but with little effect.
Because the small officials there are basically hereditary, the father retired from the son, the son retired from the grandson, and the officials and the gentry also intermarried, they have been running for generations, and they basically take the people of Zhouhe County to death, and even the county order has to look at their faces.
After the people were oppressed, there was nowhere to seek redress but to flee.
Ying Bao knew more about these things than Wei Zhan, but she was not afraid.
If it's a big deal, kill a group of monkeys.
As soon as this thought popped up in his heart, Xuanwu shouted in his mind: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"
Ying Bao burst out laughing, scaring Wei Zhan for a moment: "Lady, what are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"
"That's right, let's go to Zhouhe County." Sakura Treasure Road.
Suddenly, Mu Dan outside shouted, "County Lord, the eldest lady is here."
Sakurabo: "Please let her in."
In a moment, Cao led his sister into the house.
"Congratulations to the seventh brother and sister for being promoted to the position of county lord." Cao smiled and saluted Ying Baofu.
Her sister Cao Qingqing also saluted.
Sakura Po didn't move, as her status didn't allow her to salute civilians. "Sister-in-law, please take a seat. Who is this?"
Cao Shi hurriedly said: "This is my sister, one year younger than the county lord, I came here today to visit and recognize people."
Sakura Bao was very embarrassed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but sink her face.
Mu Dan said on the side, "The eldest lady is cautious."
When I came to the county lord to recognize people, it was not because I was sick in the brain.
Cao Shi felt speechless, and apologized with a smile: "Look at my mouth, I was so happy that I lost my words, don't blame the county lord, this is my little sister Qingqing, Qingqing, hurry up and say hello to the county lord."
Cao Qingqing was inexplicably a little afraid of this brilliant and beautiful
The county lord pounced on his knees and gave Sakura Bao a big salute.
"Please, it doesn't have to be this way." Ying Bao glanced at Mu Dan, and Mu Dan immediately went up to help the woman.
Sakura picked up the teacup at hand, didn't drink it, and flicked the foam.
As if he hadn't seen it, Cao Shi sat on the stool and spoke: "County Lord, my sister Nuhong is very good, she is good at embroidery, you look at the colorful butterfly skirt on her body, she embroidered it herself, if you have any work, just give it to her."
Ying Bao put down the teacup: "The imperial court has assigned me four embroidery girls from the Shangyi Bureau, and they are all skilled, so I won't bother my sister-in-law."
Cao smiled and was about to say something, Wei Zhan said on the side: "Sister-in-law, let's talk about it later, you go back first, the eldest brother may have come back."
As soon as the Cao clan heard that Wei Wenbai was back, he immediately stood up and saluted Ying Baofu: "Then we will say goodbye, and we will come to you tomorrow to disturb you."
Cao Qingqing also got up and saluted, and retreated with her sister.
Walking outside, Cao's face was a little unsightly.
When he got to a place where no one was, Cao said to his sister, "A mud-legged man from a poor ravine actually set up a score with me, look at her rampant appearance now, didn't she go to the market to beg for food when she was a child? If it weren't for hugging the emperor's thigh, the people who asked for food on the street would be better than her!"
Cao Qingqing hung her head and was silent.
Cao scolded for a while, finally vented his frustration, and complained, "I said you don't usually have a mouth? Why don't you fart a single one in front of Shichiro?"
Cao Qingqing cried and chirped, "Sister, I want to go home."
"What?" Cao Shi was furious: "Something that doesn't come out of nowhere! No wonder you can't find a good home even after you're sixteen!"
Cao Qingqing heard her sister's words harshly, and her heart wanted to go home more and more.
It's not that she can't really find her in-laws, but her mother has always wanted to find her a rich and noble family, at least no worse than her sister.
After this time, she found that it was impossible for her to cling to the Wei family Qilang.
Even if you hook up last time, it is estimated that you will be beaten to death by the county lord, rather than this, it is better to find someone with a similar family background to marry, than to be a concubine.
A few days later, the car of the county lord of Chuanhe set off, and the convoy was discharged for two miles.
Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu Jiang Quan all stayed in Beijing, including Mei Xiang.
Now that Mei Xiang and Jiang Quan have married, Yingbao handed over the bonsai shop in the capital to him and his family to take care of.
The annual dividends belong to Yingbao, and she asked her second cousin to hand them over to Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu to share them equally.
She herself has two county taxes, which is more than enough to feed more than a hundred people.
Moreover, there is a textile workshop in Dongchen Village, and there is also a share of specialty shops in Qinchuan County, plus Wei Zhan's property, the emperor's reward, and it can't be spent at all.
Even if the county lord's mansion supports a few retainers and staff, it is enough to spend.
The convoy left the capital and slowly walked along the official road.
It took several hours to travel twenty miles.
When I passed through a field where no one was around, someone suddenly ran up to me from the side of the road and shouted, "Help! Officers help!"
