Chapter 618: A long absence is better than a newlywed
PS: Corrected later............ Cao Liang and his entourage entered the city almost at the same time as closing the city gate, the city gate of Luoyang is no better than other places, no matter how big an official you are, as long as the city gate is closed, without the edict of the Son of Heaven, no one can enter the city.
Cao Liang and the others were lucky, they had just arrived at the gate of the city before the sun set, otherwise they would have to wait for another night at the inn outside the city if they were a little late.
At this time, it was obviously too late to enter the palace, Cao Liang and Qin said goodbye, and went home, as for official business, it was not too late to do it tomorrow.
Cao Liang beat the horse like a fly, and went straight to the Marquis of Gaoling.
The winter days are short, the sun sets, and the twilight is blue in an instant, because of the cold weather, even the most prosperous Tongcamel Street, is also a pedestrian Liao Luo.
The Gaoling Marquis Mansion is unharmed, but the vermilion paint on the gate has not been repainted, which looks a little mottled.
Without waiting for Cao Liang's orders, Fang Bu had already stepped forward to call the door.
"Who?" The family inside the door seemed to be a little impatient, grinding, it was strange that there were still people coming to the door in such a cold weather.
Fang Bu shouted in a deep voice: "Things that don't have long eyes, don't open the door quickly, the young master is back!" β
The family seemed to be startled, hurriedly opened the door of the mansion, and saw the person behind Fang Bu, it was indeed the little marquis Cao Liang, who was surprised and delighted, knelt on the ground, and said: "The little marquis forgives the sin, and the slave deserves death." β
Cao Liang didn't mean to be angry at all, everything in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion made him feel more cordial, and he said with a pleasant face: "Get up, there is no need to make amends, where are the Hou and Mrs. β
"Master Hou and his wife are in the house, and the little ones will be passed on."
Cao Liang waved his hand and stopped: "No need, I'll go in by myself, you can retreat." β
Cao Liang didn't let the family pass it on, at this time, Dad and Yang Huiyu probably also rested, if the report went in, it would inevitably cause a sensation in the whole house, such a cold day, let them come out to greet him, Cao Liang must be unhappy in his heart.
Since Cao Liang ordered not to disturb, the subordinates naturally did not dare to do much, Fang Bu led those guards down to settle down, and Cao Liang went to the middle hall alone.
Outside the house, the wind is cold, dripping into ice, but inside the house is warm like spring, warm and warm.
In recent years, Cao Liang has sent people from Bingzhou to Gaoling Marquis Mansion every year to send more than a dozen cars of smokeless carbon, and Gaoling Marquis Mansion has also become the first person in Luoyang City not to use charcoal for heating in winter.
It's rare for Cao Yan to be at home today, after dinner, he and Liu Ying sat idle, Liu Ying looked at the dark sky outside the window, sighed softly, and said, "I don't know when Liang'er will come back?" β
They already knew about the decree issued by the imperial court, which means that the beloved son who had been absent for five years was about to go home, Liu Ying was of course excited, these days, she had been looking forward to it day and night, and she was looking forward to Cao Liang going home.
But seeing that the day's wait was in vain, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Cao Yan snorted lightly and said, "Women's Dao, what do you know, it's better for Liang'er to come back than not to come back." β
Different from Liu Ying's opinion, Cao Yan, as a court official, naturally knows what this appointment means to Cao Liang, if Cao Yan can choose, then he must hope that Cao Liang will not come back.
Liu Ying glared at him and said, "What kind of heart do you have, hoping that your son will not come back?" β
Cao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I can't tell you a sentence or two about this, in short, I tell you, Liang'er's return may not be a blessing, and it may not be a disaster outside." β
Liu Ying said unrelentingly: "I don't care what blessings or misfortunes, as long as I can see my son, it's fine." β
Cao Liang heard their quarrel outside, it was still such a familiar voice, Cao Liang spontaneously felt a sense of intimacy, he pushed the door in, and shouted: "Father!" Mother! β
Liu Ying suddenly felt as petrified, she didn't believe her eyes, she felt as if she was in a dream, and said, "Liang'er, is it you?" Is it really you? β
"Mother, it's me, unfilial piety is back!" Cao Liang knelt down in front of Liu Ying.
Liu Ying burst into tears, stroked her beloved son with trembling hands, cried so much, and said silently: "Liang'er, you are finally back, it's been five years, my mother thinks about it day and night, and I look forward to your return, God has eyes, and finally let my mother see you again." β
Cao Liang also moistened the corners of his eyes, he never shed tears easily, he couldn't help tears at this time, on the battlefield, he was a powerful general, and in front of his mother's knees, he was a child who would never grow up.
Cao Yan said: "The child is back, you should be happy, why are you crying so sadly?" β
Liu Ying wiped a handful of tears and said, "Who said I was sad, I was happy." Liang'er, have you eaten, are you hungry? β
I was in a hurry all the way today, and I really didn't care about eating, Liu Ying asked, Cao Liang was really hungry, he said honestly: "I'm a little hungry." β
"I'll let someone do itβ" Liu Ying just said half a sentence, and immediately changed her mind again, "No, it's better for my mother to do it for you herself." β
With that, Liu Ying hurriedly went to the kitchen.
Only Cao Liang and Cao Yan's father and son were left in the house, but Cao Yan looked calm and said, "What are your plans to come back this time?" β
Although Cao Liang and his father have not met in recent years, they have always maintained correspondence, so Cao Yan still has a general understanding of everything Cao Liang experienced in Bingzhou.
Cao Liang said calmly: "Wait for the arrangement of the imperial court." β
Cao Yan said in a deep voice: "Recently, there have been many rumors in the DPRK and the DPRK that you have bribed the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee with a lot of money in an attempt to seek the position of the Taiwan Cabinet, but is there such a thing?" β
Cao Liang couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Bribing the senior officials of the DPRK and China? How is it possible, I have never sent a stitch to the DPRK and China, how can this bribe of the DPRK and the Central Committee talk about it? β
Cao Yan said: "A few days ago, it was rumored that Taiwei Jiang Ji openly supported you to enter the Shangshutai during the court meeting, and even Duzhi Shangshu Ding Mi is said to have received a valuable gift, if you don't give gifts, then where do these generous gifts come from?" β
Knowing that a son is not as good as a father, Cao Yan naturally believes Cao Liang, he said that he has not sent it, then he must have not sent it, but now there is a huge problem, so who made these heavy gifts? What kind of conspiracy will they have?
