Chapter 309: The eldest lady and the cousin young master
She kicked the flowers with precious flowers and plants to the ground, and the maids and women who were waiting in the room saw her angry, and immediately all knelt on the ground and trembled, especially the middle-aged mother who came to report for the first time.
The young woman was covered in pearls, and asked again angrily, "Did my mother really ask someone to give me something to the eldest princess?" ”
The middle-aged grandmother trembled in a low voice, "The eldest lady has been an old slave since she was a child, how dare the old slave deceive the eldest lady!" It's true! ”
The young woman smashed the tea set on the table again, "Those are my birthday gifts!" It was my mother who promised me! I sacrificed so much for the Cao family, and that's how they did it to me? ”
"The eldest lady is angry, the eldest princess's mansion must be a distinguished guest of the Cao family, and after the incident, the lady will definitely compensate the eldest lady." The middle-aged grandmother persuaded.
"Compensate me? How to compensate? Can they still make me the concubine of the wolf king? With that, he smashed the other things in the room again.
There are also rules in the Beidi royal court, although the relationship between men and women is chaotic, but where the royal family is orthodox, the prince's concubine must be a woman in the clan, and the bloodline of the lineage cannot be confused.
The concubine of the Cao family became the concubine of the wolf king, even if she was angry and gave birth to boys, she was destined not to inherit the position of the wolf king, let alone become the great khan of the Beidi royal court.
Not only that, but if the mixed bloodlines are not blessed by their fathers and brothers, their status is not as good as that of the side branches......
Just as the young woman was in a rage, a boy who looked different from the others ran in quickly.
Finding that his mother was angry, the boy, who was already tyrannical, threw up the whip in his hand and whipped it at the maids and servants all over the ground.
For a while, the entire rich courtyard was begging for mercy and shouting.
Qin Shuhuang was sitting on the main seat on the side of the female dependents, chatting and drinking with the female dependents of the Cao family, when suddenly a grandmother ran out from behind the screen with an ugly face and whispered something in Mrs. Cao's ear.
After hearing this, a strange look flashed on Mrs. Cao's face, and she whispered a few words to Mama before Mama left with a solemn face.
An hour later, the Cao family's reception banquet ended.
Qin Shuhuang refused the following activities on the grounds that he needed to rest on the road, and was led back to the yard by the maid to rest.
Today's banquet opened Qin Shuhuang's eyes.
Not only was the flower hall for the banquet magnificent, but there were countless maids and maids serving, and the dishes on the table also surprised Qin Shuhuang.
Cold dishes, hot dishes, pastries, tea, all of them are abundant and fine, including bear's paws, deer tendons, sea fish and other rare game and seafood.
The dinner was followed by choreographed dance and opera juggling.
If you don't know that this is the border Xia Gong City, you will think that it is a feast for the wealthy families in Beijing.
You must know that the level of this Cao family and the Jingzhong family is not a star and a half apart.
After the banquet on the master's side was withdrawn, Shilan and the personal guards she brought were all entertained in the side hall, and although the food was not as good as the master, it was also superior.
Shilan sighed, "With such a big table of dishes, many of them didn't move a few chopsticks, so it was so wasted." After the meal, a grandmother and the maids gave each of us a brocade box, saying that it was a gift from Mrs. Cao. ”
After speaking, Shilan's slender brocade box was pulled out of her sleeve and handed it to Qin Shuhuang.
Qin Shuhuang opened it and took a look.
Although it is a slender brocade box, it is divided into four small compartments, and there are actually four exquisite gifts inside.
A small silver ingot of five taels, a pair of silver beads, a jasmine-flavored tea cake, and a box of fine rouge.
This brocade box costs no less than ten taels for four gifts.
The Cao family sent it to every maid's entourage.
Qin Shuhuang closed the brocade box and handed it to Shilan, "Since everyone in the Cao family has given it, you can take it." ”
Shilan nodded.
In the end, it is in the Cao family, after looking at it for most of the day, the Cao family's mansion is not only rich and noble, but also has a lot of guards, and such a place is not suitable for a deep discussion with Xie Xuanye and Liu Renci for the time being.
When the night was dark, the master and servant rested.
In the main courtyard of Cao Mansion, someone came to report to Cao Jian and Mrs. Cao, "The general, the lady, the eldest princess, Lord Liu, and those guards are all resting." ”
Cao Jian nodded, "Send people to keep an eye on it, if they have any abnormal movements, they will report it as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!"
The husband and wife of the Cao family were about to rest, and Mrs. Cao's personal grandmother ran in anxiously, "Madam, it's not good, the eldest lady and the young master are kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, no matter how much the old slave persuades, it's cold in this winter, you can't kneel like this......"
When Mrs. Cao heard it, where did she still have the mind to sleep, the eldest lady Cao Miao is her old daughter, the only daughter of the Cao family, since Cao Miao was born, Mrs. Cao loves her more than several sons, but General Cao not only did not give her daughter a good future, but also let her daughter be a little wolf king.
Since then, Mrs. Cao has felt even more indebted to her daughter.
Mrs. Cao was just about to get up to see her daughter outside the hospital, but she was grabbed by Cao Jian, and Cao Jian said coldly: "You stay here, I'll go!" ”
Mrs. Cao couldn't resist her husband, so she could only send her husband to the door and look at the courtyard gate worriedly.
Cao Miao knelt on the cobblestone path in front of the courtyard gate, and after a while, her knees were sore, but she was still motionless.
The little boy who was only about seven years old kneeling behind her was also motionless, hanging his head.
Finally the footsteps came.
After a while, a pair of men's brocade boots fell in front of her eyes, and before Cao Miao looked up at the visitor, the next moment, there was a "snap", and a hot pain hit her cheeks! Cao Miao, who was kneeling straight, was also knocked off and lay to the side, her tentacles were cold and piercing pebbles.
Cao Miao covered her face and looked up at her father who was standing in front of her condescendingly.
Angry and shocked, she screamed, "Why did you hit me! ”
The seven-year-old child kneeling behind Cao Miao suddenly had a flash in his eyes, got up and hit his head on Cao Jian's leg, and kicked Cao Jian hard.
Cao Jian looked down at the child who was staring at him kicking and beating, his brows furrowed, and he reached out and picked up the child and handed it to the old servant next to him, "Look at the young man!" ”
The old servant grabbed the child and restrained him hand and foot, so that he could not move.
The child couldn't move, and immediately began to curse Cao Jianlai, Beidi's words were mixed with Dawu dialect, which sounded nondescript.
Cao Jian was even angrier when he heard this, and said coldly: "Lock it up!" ”
"Yes, General!"
The child was taken away.
Cao Jian stared at his daughter lying on the ground, "Get up, follow me to the study!" ”
Cao Miao knew that her father was really angry this time, gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, and followed Cao Jian to the big study in the front yard.
The door of the study was closed by his cronies, and only Cao Jian and Cao Miao's father and daughter were left in the room.
As soon as Cao Jian sat down, he slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "Have you forgotten what your father told you before!" ”
Cao Miao stirred the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lip, and replied after a while: "I haven't forgotten ......"
"Then what are you doing tonight!"
Cao Miao said hesitantly: "Today, my mother gave my things to the eldest princess...... It was my birthday gift! And my mother wouldn't let me attend the dinner party in the evening! ”
Cao Jian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that could not help but erupt.
"Did your mother give you less on weekdays? I don't add up to more than you alone for a few sisters-in-law! This time it's a matter of urgency, and your mother's grandmother has already explained it to you. Among our Cao family's daughters, only your body is similar to the eldest princess, so I gave the clothes I want to give you to the eldest princess. If you like, ask your mother to send someone to make you ten more!" ”
"That's not my birthday gift either......" Cao Miao muttered angrily.
"Miaomiao, you and Wenyang are the link between our Cao family and the wolf king, if you really have the heart to be the princess of Beidi, why bother about this! Take Wenyang well, so that our Cao family can continue to grow! The eldest princess is the key to our Cao family's plan this time, no matter what, we can't make a mistake! In the same way, your mother and son can't have an accident, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send you back to Beidi! ”
Cao Miao was surprised, "Leave so soon?" I've only been back for a few days! ”
"I used to rely on you, but not this time, soon this Xia Gongcheng will be in chaos, it is too dangerous for you and Wen Yang to stay here!"
No matter how Cao Miao begged, Cao Jian did not agree to his daughter to continue to live for a few days, and Rao was about to make the Spring Festival, he did not waver, and insisted on sending his daughter away.
Early the next morning, before dawn, a team of Cao family's armor soldiers escorted a carriage out of the back door of Cao's house.
Soon disappeared into the night.
In the carriage, seven-year-old Wen Yang was still asleep, but Cao Miao's face was gloomy.
The maid next to her comforted softly, "Miss, the general and Mrs. love the eldest lady so much, there must be a reason to send the eldest lady away in advance this time, don't be angry." ”
Cao Miao grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and said hatefully: "It's all the eldest princess, if it weren't for her!" How could my father and mother not leave me at home for the holiday! ”
The maid lowered her head and did not dare to say anything else.
As soon as the sky was bright, Qin Shuhuang opened his eyes.
Although the Cao family has a high bed and soft pillows, I don't know why, Qin Shuhuang just can't sleep well.
After a night, I feel more tired than yesterday.
After washing, Qin Shuhuang finally felt better.
There are maids and grandmothers who have sent exquisite morning food, not only the characteristic morning food of Xia Gongcheng but also the taste of the capital.
With so much delicious food in front of him, Qin Shuhuang didn't have much appetite, so he only used a small half bowl of white porridge and some pickles.
After breakfast, Cao Jian sent someone to invite her to the big study in the front yard.
Qin Shuhuang raised the corners of his mouth, and it was only now that Cao Jian was willing to have a real showdown.
