Mrs. Cao seemed to feel a little relieved when she heard Juecheng say this, and he shouldn't even deceive people if he didn't even accept money: "Then please master of it." ”

Jue Cheng led everyone to follow Mrs. Cao into the Jade City.

The inside of the jade city is beautiful and picturesque, such as the landscape of the finely carved stone arch bridge across the Lijiang River; On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lanterns with unique shapes and various patterns are hung in front of the doors on both sides of the Lijiang River or on the masts of the boats in the river, and the dragon lanterns and stilts on the street constitute the Lantern Festival lantern viewing landscape where the government and the people enjoy together; Dragon boat racing landscape on the Dragon Boat Festival canal; The moon viewing landscape on the water of the Lijiang River during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as the logistics and people flow landscape, and so on. It is these landscapes that thrive and prosper because of the river.

It's not yet the most beautiful time in Yucheng, but it's already picturesque, Yucheng people like calligraphy and painting the most, and music theory is also particularly good at it, so Yucheng singers must have both ability and political integrity to be famous, so that their days will not be too bitter.

Mrs. Cao led them through the Lijiang River, and then walked forward for a while, and they arrived at Cao's mansion.

Everyone saw the green tiles and red walls outside the Caofu courtyard, the fine willows hung around, the winding paths in the courtyard were connected, the mountains and stones were embellished, and the main hall facing the door was hung with a plaque of "just and upright". The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and full of flowers.

As soon as Mrs. Cao came back, many ladies came forward to surround her: "Madam, didn't you go to the temple in Lingcheng to pray for blessings? Why did you come back so quickly?" ”

Mrs. Cao was surrounded by them and couldn't speak, and the old lady said sharply: "It's okay to do it, isn't it!"

It didn't take long for everyone to disperse.

Jue Cheng saw that this Mrs. Cao was usually a gentle person, otherwise the subordinates in the house would not be so presumptuous.

Mrs. Cao waved her hand at the old lady: "That's it, you quickly invite a few masters in, and I will change my clothes and go to see Bo'er." ”

The old lady beckoned to the little maid nearby and asked her to accompany her to change her clothes.

The old lady came to Juecheng and said, "The masters come with me." ”

Everyone walked through the main hall to the backyard, the backyard in the mountains and rivers reflect each other, pavilions and pavilions, all kinds of flowers bloom beautifully, as if no one is willing to admit defeat.

The old lady took everyone to the door of a small courtyard with a plaque of the painting institute, pushed open the courtyard door, and the courtyard was full of calligraphy and paintings.

Mei Liang may be attracted by the content of calligraphy and painting, let them go in first.

The old lady nodded and took them in first, and before she could open the door of the young master's room, she heard a rapid cough, and the old lady knocked on the door: "Young master, Madam asked me to bring a few masters to see how your body is doing." ”

Young Master Cao picked up the teacup next to the bed and smashed it towards the door: "I said I'm not sick, you guys go out!"

Hui'er beside the bed hurriedly knelt in front of the bed: "Young Master is angry." ”

The old lady didn't dare to act rashly at this moment, he was the master, how could she dare to trespass.

After a while, Mrs. Cao packed up her makeup, hair and clothes and came to the painting courtyard to see everyone standing at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted inside: "Hui'er open the door for me." ”

Seeing that the young master did not object, Hui'er stood up and opened the door for Mrs. Cao and them.

Mrs. Cao sat on the side of Young Master Cao's bed: "How is Bo'er feeling lately?"

Cao Bo's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, the blue black under his eyes clearly showed that the whole person was lifeless, his cheeks were only covered with a layer of skin, a pair of big eyes had sunk into the eye sockets, and a pair of hands were simply crooked grape branches that were being held tightly by Mrs. Cao in her hands at this time.

Jue Cheng looked at Cao Bo like this, not like he was sick, but as if he had been sucked dry.

Mrs. Cao gave up her position and let Juecheng treat Cao Bo.

Jue Cheng saw that there was nothing abnormal in his pulse, but why did this person look so weak.

Mrs. Cao looked at Juecheng nervously.

Jue Cheng carefully examined Cao Bo, but he couldn't see any disease in his body.

Cao Bo closed his eyes tightly and protested silently.

Seeing that Cao Bo didn't want to speak, Jue Cheng said to Mrs. Cao, "Let's go out first and let Cao Gongzi have a good rest." ”

Mrs. Cao nodded, and turned her head when she was about to step out of the door: "Hui'er, come here." ”

Hui'er covered the quilt for Cao Bo, followed Mrs. Cao out and gently closed the door.

Mei Liang may still be looking at the paintings, what does it express?

After Mrs. Cao and Juecheng came out, Mei Liang may have to follow them and leave first.

When they came to the side hall, the old lady personally served tea to Mrs. Cao, and the rest of the people were served tea by Hui'er.

Before Jue Cheng could speak, Mrs. Cao called Hui'er to her first: "The young master has quietly gone out in the past two days." ”

Hui'er lowered her head and was silent.

Madame Cao's eyes became obscure, and her breath became noticeably short.

The old lady saw that Mrs. Cao was angry: "Hui'er, say it quickly!"

Hui'er looked at the old woman: "Mother, I don't dare to say." ”

It turned out that this old lady was Mrs. Cao's dowry maid, and she was the most trusted person by Mrs. Cao's side all her life, and the old lady's original name was Liu Haomei, and Mrs. Cao allowed her to go out of the house to marry at nineteen o'clock, but she didn't expect to be beaten all over her body by her butcher husband for a year, and Liu Haomei couldn't bring the child to beg Mrs. Cao to take them in.

At that time, Mrs. Cao saw that Liu Haomei was not young and wanted to find a good family for Liu Haomei, originally she saw that Li Butcher was honest, but she didn't expect that because Liu Haomei couldn't give birth to a son, she would add punches and kicks to her, and said that she was old and delicious.

Mrs. Cao was very angry, how could Liu Haomei be the way he said she was when she was a child, Mrs. Cao sent someone to cut off the relationship between Liu Haomei and Li Butcher, and Liu Haomei took the child to Mrs. Cao's side again.

Hui'er's name is the name given by Mrs. Cao's five-year-old son Cao Bo, and Hui'er has always been a maid serving Cao Bo.

Madame Cao had already guessed the matter: "He went to find the singer again." ”

Hui'er nodded.

Mrs. Cao slapped the table heavily: "It was that demon girl who caused my Bo'er to become what she is now." ”

Jue Cheng was puzzled: "Madam, why do you always say that Cao Bo's illness is related to a singer?"

As long as Mrs. Cao thought of that singer, her face was full of resentment: "Bo'er, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and his ambition is to take the examination to serve the country. ”

Hearing Mrs. Cao's name Yi Chunliu shouting, she gritted her teeth, and Mama Liu took over and said: " Yi Chunliu was famous a year ago, she is good at music and dancing, once became the object of the princes and nobles, that day Hui'er followed the son to the street to play, the son was confused by the demon girl, that year the son often went to the demon girl's boat at night to listen to the music, in the past few months as long as the demon girl ship has been killed one after another, fortunately, my wife found out that the son was wrong early, half a year ago to prevent him from going to the demon girl's boat, so that it did not make a big mistake, saved my son's life. ”

Jue Cheng thought that the two were not necessarily related, and Mrs. Cao probably had an opinion on these singers: "I have already carefully looked at it for Cao Gongzi just now, and there is nothing wrong with his body, but his body is indeed a little strange. ”

Mrs. Cao heard her say, "Then is my Bo'er still saved?"

Jue Cheng felt that this thing was indeed strange: "Are there a lot of people who have died in your city recently?"

Mama Liu said to Juecheng: "Everyone didn't pay attention to the people who began to die in the city, but more and more people died later, and everyone found that these people have one thing in common, that is, they have been to the demon girl's ship, and there are many similar ways to die in the city recently, and they have all recently gone to the demon girl's boat." ”

Juecheng felt that he didn't dare what she was, but this matter must have something to do with her: "I don't know where that singer is now." ”

Mrs. Cao's face was not very good-looking, and Mama Liu said: "My lord is the adult who is in charge of this case, and the demon girl must have been imprisoned at this time." ”

After Mama Liu finished speaking, Master Cao walked in from outside and saw a lot more people in the house.

Mrs. Cao didn't have a surprised expression when she looked at Lord Cao who came in, but was hiding the dissatisfaction in her heart.

The maid Xiaoqiu stepped forward to take off Lord Cao's cloak, and Mama Liu took a cup of tea to Lord Cao and said what Mrs. Cao wanted to ask: "My lord, that demon girl today." ”

Master Cao didn't speak, took a sip of tea and calmed down: "Let it go." ”

Although Mrs. Cao didn't speak, she always paid attention to Lord Cao, and heard that he actually let go of the demon girl: "Cao Weiming, are you crazy, do you know how badly she hurt her son!"

Lord Cao looked at Mrs. Cao, who was also going crazy: "This matter has nothing to do with others, I can't frame it!"

Mrs. Cao was so angry that she covered her chest with one hand and pointed at Master Cao with the other: "Framed? Cao Bo is just like you who was lost in his mind by those singers." ”

Cao Weiming took the case: "I didn't mention the past, every time you are like this!"

Mrs. Cao thought that she was the eldest lady of the Lin family in the past, Cao Weiming was just a poor scholar, if her father had Cao Weiming today, she had children after so many years, at that time Cao Weiming was often busy with official business, so the time to return home was relatively late, at that time Mrs. Cao was still young and didn't think much about it, she just thought that he was working hard, but I didn't expect that he would not soon understand a singer and insist on accepting her as a concubine.

A Qinglou woman is also worthy of serving a husband with Miss Lin, Mrs. Cao was heartbroken and wanted to go back to her parents' house, but Master Lin didn't agree to them being together at the beginning, even if Cao Weiming was talented, but Master Lin just couldn't look down on it.

Mrs. Cao just didn't listen to persuasion, and now she didn't even dare to regret it with her family, Cao Weiming brought back a beautiful young singer soon after, and the most annoying thing was that she was already three months pregnant.

Mrs. Cao was angry and fell on the bed at that time, and she didn't care about Cao Weiming's bad things.

Unexpectedly, instead of restraining herself, the singer actually deliberately came to Mrs. Cao's courtyard with her stomach on her stomach to show off: "Wei Ming likes the lotus cake I made the most, I heard that Mrs. is seriously ill, so Xiao'er specially made it for my sister to taste." ”

Mrs. Cao knocked the pastry to the ground: "Don't think that climbing on Cao Weiming's bed is a pheasant turning into a phoenix, you go and ask Cao Weiming, he is worthy of lifting my shoes before!"

Mrs. Cao regretted saying this, but Lord Cao just wanted to come and see the sick Mrs. Cao, but when he heard these words, he hugged his sleeves and walked away.
