"Wait a little longer, you are still secretly staring at the Cao family, collecting evidence of the Cao family's collusion with the Beidi Wolf King."

"Yes, General!"

While a few people were talking, an old servant of the Xu family hurriedly came in, he took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Xu Zizhang, "Third master, a letter for you." ”

Xu Zizhang frowned and glanced at it, and when he saw the emblem printed on the lower right corner of the letter, he looked stunned, and then quickly opened the envelope and took out the letter paper and looked at ten lines.

The adjutant generals next to him saw that the general who originally looked solemn suddenly relaxed because of reading the letter, and asked curiously: "General, whose letter is it?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Zizhang's mouth, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

Several people looked at each other, and immediately rejoiced, although they didn't know what was written in the letter, but the eldest princess contacted the general privately at this time, indicating that the eldest princess still regarded the Xu family in her eyes and agreed with the general and the Xu family.

Cao Mansion, Cao Jian changed into a brocade dress for guests and sat in the main hall, and the old servant next to him reported with a smile, "General, just now there was news that the people over there in Xu Mansion lost their temper and smashed the entire flower hall. ”

Cao Jian, who was already in a good mood, laughed when he heard the news, "Aren't people who have no ability left to be angry with themselves!" ”

Cao Jian picked up the maid's freshly brewed Meng Ding and took a sip in a comfortable mood.

Madam Cao walked in quickly with a smile on her face, "General, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived at the door!" Let's go over and greet you! ”

Cao Jian put down the teacup, held his wife's hand, and went to the front yard together.

Qin Shuhuang's convoy was taken directly by Cao Zhiyuan to the gate of Cao's house.

At this time, the gate of the Cao family had already been emptied, and the Cao family soldiers guarded the entire Cao family with three layers and three outer layers.

On the surface, it seems to be welcoming the eldest princess, but in fact, it is guarding against the Xu family.

The carriage stopped, Cao Zhiyuan jumped off the horse and personally went to the carriage to invite him, "Your Highness, it's here." ”

The carriage curtain was lifted by Shilan, and then Shilan helped Qin Shuhuang get out of the carriage.

This time, Qin Shuhuang didn't wear a hat.

She is dressed in a capable riding uniform, her eyebrows are elegant and dignified, and she looks more beautiful and luxurious than Cao Zhiyuan imagined.

When Qin Shuhuang got off the carriage, Cao Zhiyuan was stunned for a while!

It wasn't until a sharp light stabbed him awake that he came back to his senses, and when he looked up again, there was only the figure of the tall and straight guard standing behind Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renci walked to the gate of the Cao family together.

Mrs. Cao Jian and the descendants of the Cao family were waiting at the gate to greet Qin Shuhuang.

The Cao family is just a border guard, but the lintel is more magnificent than the palace in Beijing.

Mrs. Cao Jian and Mrs. Cao gave Qin Shuhuang a salute, "The old minister/concubine greets Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

Qin Shuhuang put on an appropriate smile and helped Mrs. Cao Jian Cao up with his own hands.

Mrs. Cao took her daughter-in-law and granddaughters to accompany Qin Shuhuang, and Cao Jian went to accompany Liu Renci after greeting Qin Shuhuang.

was surrounded by the ladies of the Cao family and entered the Cao Mansion.

When I entered the Cao Mansion, I found that the door of the Cao Mansion was not Erer.

The layout of the house is even more exaggerated than the door shows.

In the north of the bad weather, the Cao family can still reproduce the scenery of the Beijing mansion, although in winter, many buildings and plants on the mansion are covered with snow, but it does not affect the beautiful scenery in the eyes.

Cao Fuzhong's step by step scene is no exaggeration.

Looking at the clothes of the Cao family's ladies is even more obvious.

Mrs. Cao was dressed in a purple satin dress, and on her head was a set of extremely rare rubies, among which the ruby on her forehead was bigger than her thumb, and she was brilliant.

Although the jewelry of the rest of the daughters-in-law is not as good as that of Mrs. Cao, they are all high-quality jade and agate gemstones, and everyone is bejeweled.

On the contrary, Qin Shuhuang was dressed in a convenient women's riding suit, and there was no jewelry on his body.

Rao is like this, and the temperament of the ladies of the Cao family is not as good as Qin Shuhuang.

Mrs. Cao only reacted at this time, and their dress was a little out of place compared to Qin Shuhuang at this time.

She immediately glared at the daughters-in-law and granddaughters beside her.

Then he smiled and said to Qin Shuhuang: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has worked hard all the way, Your Highness is dusty, I will take Your Highness to the courtyard to rest for a while, and a little later, I will personally pick up Her Highness to the banquet to wash the dust." ”

Qin Shuhuang smiled kindly, "There is Mrs. Lao." ”

Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and accompanied Qin Shuhuang to the courtyard prepared for her.

The courtyard arranged for Qin Shuhuang was one of the best courtyards of the Cao family.

Mrs. Cao was very considerate, and after sending the person away, she said goodbye and left.

Shilan helped Qin Shuhuang to wander around the room, and Shilan looked surprised, "Your Highness, this Cao family is too rich!" Everything on the Bogu shelf is priceless. ”

There is also this yard, and there is a huge conservatory on the east side, and the conservatory is not planted with vegetables and vegetables, but with all kinds of flowers.

Outside is a cold winter that can freeze people's fingers, and the warm house is as warm as spring, and the flowers of the four seasons compete with each other.

Wandering in the conservatory is like being in spring.

You must know that this is the northern border, and if you want to maintain the temperature of such a large greenhouse, you need to consume a lot of charcoal!

The daily consumption of this greenhouse is enough for a battalion of the border army to consume charcoal for a month.

Even in the Imperial Palace, there is no such a large conservatory, let alone a conservatory that is not planted with crops, but flowers that can only be enjoyed for no use.

Relying on the black market, so rich, no wonder the Cao family took this opportunity to find Qin Shuhuang.

As soon as the master and servant walked around the room, a grandmother brought someone to ask to see them.

The satin-clad grandmother was followed by a dozen or so maids in pink clothes.

Mama flattered: "The old slave asks Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to say goodbye, these are prepared by my wife for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to take a look." ”

Mrs. Cao seemed to know Qin Shuhuang's "embarrassment", so she sent gorgeous clothes and jewelry, which were no worse than those worn by Mrs. Cao.

Looking at the color of the clothes and the shape of the jewelry, they are all worn by Qin Shuhuang at this age.

Qin Shuhuang really didn't have any clothes and jewelry suitable for the banquet now, so he nodded and accepted it.

The Cao family's money is easy to come by, and it is not collected for nothing.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang had accepted the things, the grandmother who had sent the things was relieved, and asked the maids to put the things down and immediately leave.

Mama left, and Shilan said curiously: "Your Highness, did the Cao family guess that you would come and prepare your clothes and jewelry in advance?" ”

Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not, I'm afraid there is a reason for this." ”

No matter what, the conditions of the Cao family are very good.

The conditions are better than Qin Shuhuang's conditions everywhere he came all the way, and even better than the conditions in the capital.

Caofu does not use a charcoal basin for heating, but a wall of fire.

Burning the fire wall requires a lot of charcoal, the cost is very huge, the emperor in order to save, even the fire wall in the palace has been banned, and there are few official eunuchs in the capital to use, but I didn't expect to see it again in this Xia Gong City.

In fact, it is not impossible to use a wall of fire in Xia Gong City, after all, Xia Gong City is much colder than the capital.

It's just that the entire Cao Mansion, as long as the courtyard where the master lives, is burning with a fire wall, which is too much.

Not only is it a partial clean room, but the ear room is as warm as spring.

After a short rest, Qin Shuhuang washed up under Shilan's service, and ate some exquisite snacks sent by the Cao family.

Then she changed into a luxurious dress and put on jewelry.

After she cleaned up, Mrs. Cao personally came to invite Qin Shuhuang to the flower hall for a banquet.

And in the extravagant courtyard of the Cao family in another place, a young woman was furious.
