Chapter 1374 - Trick (Tears Running for a Monthly Pass)
Hengsheng's body is as strong as a calf, so he is sick?
Cao Hao looked at Chi Na, his face was a little ugly, and said, "What the hell is going on?" Why can't your master come? ”
He was worried that someone would stop Hengsheng and prevent him from coming. If you change to someone else, you may avoid this, but Hengsheng is the same as the children of the Cao family, who would not let him participate in his brother's marriage banquet because of this.
If someone does a lot of trouble, it is also suspected of provoking the feelings of fathers and sons.
Chi Na said: "I am indeed sick, and now I have a fever, and before the slave came out, I had already asked the imperial doctor to see it." ”
Hearing this, Cao Hao hurriedly asked, "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”
Chi Na replied: "The imperial doctor said that the master was a little irritated by cold water last night, and then he caught a cold. ”
"How can you be agitated by cold water?" Cao Hao asked puzzled.
Chi Na didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Tianyou, and said hesitantly: "The master was a little drunk last night, and he fell asleep while bathing...... Tianyou sneered on his face and said, "It's mine, no, I pulled the second brother to drink more ......"
Cao Hao nodded, only reprimanded Tianyou twice, didn't say anything else, asked Chi Na Haosheng to take care of it, and sent him back.
As the saying goes, "early ceremony and late dowry", if you want to celebrate the ceremony in the morning, you should almost set off now.
In addition to still bothering the original media Guanglu and Seshtu, the man also needs to have close relatives to be hired, which is served by Cao Xiang and Hongshu.
Because the distance between Cao's Mansion and King Jian's Mansion is too close, if you take a shortcut, it is just a cup of tea, so the dowry gift is another route, and on the surrounding streets, it is not too small to go around a circle...... * In King Jian's Mansion, there are also many guests.
Regardless of whether Yarjianga is idle or not, he is the descendant of Prince Zheng Xian. Although his grandfather, Prince Jian Chun, died young and had few children, he had four uncles.
These four uncles and ancestors gave birth to more than 50 sons, although they only accounted for three or four percent, it was a lot of them.
Now the son has begotten another son.
Their titles are already extremely low, and even some of their children have not been knighted, and they are mostly attached to the side of the palace of the Yanzhi Palace, so they come to have fun.
Compared with these cousins, of the few living brothers of Yarjana, only Yarjana's cousins Wuge and Shenbaozhu came in person, and the other cousin was sick and sent his wife and children over.
There were fifteen brothers and sisters in Yarjana, of whom three died in infancy, and twelve grew up to be Chengren.
Of the twelve, only seven are still alive, and the other five have passed away, leaving behind five orphans and widows, most of whom are taken care of by King Jian's mansion.
Yongjia is cold, has a good reputation, and is also impartial and takes care of widows and orphans.
The seven people who are alive include the three cousins of Yarjana and the half-brothers of the three stepmothers.
Those three half-brothers have been fighting with Ya A Jiang Ah for decades, and finally made a fuss about being demoted, and they are even more torn up with King Jian's mansion, and they have already reduced their contacts.
They don't come to get in the way, which is exactly what Yarjana wants.
After decades of fighting, that's not a brother, that's an enemy.
It's just that the dowry hasn't arrived yet, and he is still a little unsure.
It stands to reason that the dowry of the Cao family to King Jian's mansion, even if it is not good to exceed the example of King Chun's mansion back then, it should not be too far behind.
However, there is also the emperor's business.
Today, advocating frugality, when Yongzheng was four years old, he also issued a special order to limit the number of Han marriages and the rules of marriage.
Fourth-grade officials and above, no more than eight feet of jokes, no more than eight pieces of gold and silver jewelry, and no more than ten kinds of food; The five rank officers and below are subtracted by two each; Those below the rank of eight-rank official who have meritorious fame and above will be subtracted by two; For military and civilian people, no more than four pieces shall be collected, no more than four fruit boxes shall be collected, and gold and silver dowries shall not be used by the military and civilians.
Although there is no restriction on the flag person, it can be effective up and down, and there are many people who are not very wealthy, under the banner of "listening to the holy will", saving a sum of money in the dowry.
Although the Cao family will not be like this, Cao Hao is famous for his "honesty".
If it is to comply with the wishes of the gods, it is not impossible to reduce the dowry.
But in that case, it will hurt the face of King Jian's mansion a little.
It wasn't until the little guy who was sent to the front street to keep an eye on him came to report that the dowry of the Cao family had been raised, and it was sixty-four lifts, that Yaerjiang's brows were relaxed...... * Shichahai, the palace of Zasaktu County.
Cao Man stood on the steps and looked at the young man on horseback in front of him with a smile: "You monkey cub, didn't you go to the palace with your uncle to be hired, why did you come here?" ”
The person who came hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed down and said, "Uncle Man, it's the uncle who doesn't worry about the second master, so he sent his nephew over to take a look." ”
His name is Donghai, the son of the Cao family, he was a scholar in Tianyou's early years, and now he is Tianyou's long-term follower.
When Cao Man heard this, he couldn't help laughing. My lord and uncle are really funny, and when the second master didn't get sick, the father and son didn't say anything on their faces, and they both sent people over in private.
When the East China Sea called the door, the two entered the palace, and Cao Man noticed something unusual.
When Hengsheng opened the mansion in the winter of the previous year, Cao Hao was not worried that he was out alone, so he arranged for Cao Man and his wife and Wu Sheng to come over to serve.
When the palace entered the formal state, Wu Sheng and his wife returned to Cao's mansion.
Cao Man and his wife stayed in the palace for a long time, and they did not return to Cao Mansion until the Cao family moved to a new mansion this year.
The little servants on this side of the palace can be said to have been trained by Cao Man.
Looking at them now, there are a few more familiar faces, and the rest are all terrified.
Cao Man's heart sank suddenly, and without waiting for anyone to be informed, he strode towards the east courtyard of the palace, Hengsheng's residence.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the East Courtyard, I saw Chi Na coming out, with anxiety between his eyebrows.
"Master Man!" He used to be Cao Man's deputy, and many of the housekeeper directors were taught by Cao Man, so he was particularly respectful as a teacher.
Cao Man's heart was anxious, he didn't care about greetings, and said, "The master sent me to visit the second master......"
When Chi Na heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and he choked up: "Master Man, our master's situation is not very good......
Cao Man only felt a "buzz", his head suddenly became bigger, and his steps were a little soft.
He held on and said, "Take me to see the second master first......"
When I got to the upper room of the east courtyard, I saw an old woman holding a handkerchief in her hand, wiping Hengsheng's forehead.
This old woman was none other than Bara's old mother, Grandma Wuyun.
When Cao Hao brought Bala and the China family and the body deed from Zasaktu Khan, he found out that Bala's wife was the dowry maid of the previous concubine of the Khan's palace, and Bala's father was also the dowry slave of the previous concubine, and he was related to Hengsheng.
Cao Man knew that Bala and Chi Na were both usable, so he asked Bara's wife to be the housekeeper and grandmother of Hengsheng's side, and Chi Na handled the foreign affairs of the palace, which also had some meaning of decentralization.
In the house, in addition to the strong smell of medicine, there is also the smell of alcohol and the smell of incense.
Seeing Cao Man coming, Dark Cloud Mama stood up.
Cao Man married a Mongolian daughter-in-law and spoke fluent Mongolian.
He took two steps forward, looked at Heng Sheng, whose face was red and his eyes were closed, and asked in Mongolian, "When did the second master start to burn?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”
"I've had a fever since midnight...... "Dark Cloud replied in the previous sentence, but instead of answering, she looked at China.
The imperial physician does not know Mongolian, and although Grandma Wuyun can understand Chinese, she still doesn't understand the imperial doctor's instructions.
Chi Na said: "The imperial doctor said that the master is angry and angry, which is already a little bad; I stirred up cold water again, and I was afraid that I was going to get seriously ill. If you can go away from the fever, if you can't go back, I'm afraid it's dangerous......"
Cao Man was shocked when he heard this: "How dare you hide it when you are sick like this?" ”
Chi Na said with red eyes: "Before the master fainted, he told me a thousand times, and I was not allowed to tell the truth about the little one, for fear of disturbing the happy event of the uncle......"
Hengsheng was watched by Cao Man grew up, and because Wu En was an errand boy by Hengsheng's side in his early years, the husband and wife went to the palace to do things for more than a year, and the relationship between the master and servant was too ordinary.
Looking at Hengsheng, who had a high fever and couldn't wake up, Cao Manzhi felt that his heart was twitching.
He glared at Chi Na fiercely and said, "Why can't you tell the priorities?" If the second master's condition worsens because of your concealment, don't talk about others, the master and the uncle will not spare you! As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed Donghaidao: "Hurry back to the house, you don't need to find the uncle, just go to the master to tell you about it." The rest will be arranged by the master. ”
When Donghai saw this situation, he also felt that he could not delay.
Although the second young master opened a house and lived separately, in the eyes of the lord and his wife, because he lived alone as a young man, he became more and more eccentric.
After listening to Cao Man's instructions, he answered, and immediately turned around and wanted to leave, when he heard a hoarse voice: "Donghai, come back ......"
It's Hengsheng who has woken up.
"Second Master ......"
"Master......"
Everyone surrounded him, Hengsheng didn't look at anyone, one hand supported his body, the other pointed to the East China Sea, looked at the East China Sea in a daze, and panted: "Don't ...... Don't tell the old man......"
Seeing this, Donghai hurriedly looked at Cao Man.
Hengsheng's appearance is frightening, in addition to his complexion burned red, his eyes are bloodshot, his eyes are also confused, where is there still ordinary hearty and generous.
Cao Man took a step forward, helped Hengsheng to sit down, put the kang pillow in his hand, and said, "The second master doesn't have to worry about delaying the uncle's ceremony...... Before the little one came out, the uncle had already taken the dowry team out, and at this time, I was afraid that he had arrived at Prince Jian's mansion early......"
"Really?" Hengsheng hesitated.
Cao Man nodded and said, "Of course it's true, the second master doesn't look at what time it is?" It's 10 o'clock in the morning, and the ceremony will be finished before noon......"
Heng Sheng closed his eyes, tears rolled down his eyes, and muttered, "Uncle Man, I want to see my father......"
Hang Seng was optimistic and cheerful when he was young, when he showed such a weak appearance.
Cao Man became more and more frightened, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's ask Donghai to invite the master over......"
Hengsheng burned so badly that he barely said these words, but he couldn't support it, his head tilted, and he fell asleep again.
Cao Man put Hengsheng down, covered him with a quilt, walked outside with his fists clenched, stared at Chi Na and said, "What happened last night that made the second master embarrassed like this?" ”
Chi Na drooped his head and said, "It's the villain's fault, the person drilled the leak......"
It turned out that last year, with the arrival of the Chi Na and Ula families in Beijing, there were also many sons from Zasaktu Khan, including ten beautiful female slaves.
At that time, Cao Man was still there, and these people were still placed by Cao Man.
He knew what his old master meant, and he didn't want the young masters to be debauched on women, so he distributed the ten female slaves as ordinary maids everywhere, and did not arrange to wait close in the Hengsheng room.
In the Hang Seng room, there are only two older grandmothers with little maids to serve.
Because I thought about the later group of people, I couldn't keep who was the eyeliner on the Khalkha side, so it was not an important position to be placed.
Cao Man even reminded Bara and Chi to pay attention to these people. If anyone betrays the Lord, let it not be spared.
I didn't expect that after more than a year of dissipation, these people found an opportunity last night.
When Hengsheng came back drunk, a bowl of decanting soup came into the kitchen, but there were ingredients inside.
And because of Hengsheng's side, there has never been anyone in the room to watch the night, and people will touch it at night...... Cao Man heard this, and his forehead was bruised, and he said angrily: "I have already instructed that the kitchen is the most important place, and you can even let people do it...... If it is poison, where will the second master still have his life? ”
As for the ill-intentioned and calculating the master's cheap maid in the middle of the night, Cao Man didn't care too much.
In a high-ranking family, there are many things like this kind of maid climbing the bed, and it won't be a big deal.
However, then he felt that something was wrong.
The second master is in filial piety, and this matter can be big or small. In case that the maid is secretly knotted in the pearl fetus, it will be a fatal blow to the second master.
Cao Man's face immediately turned blue, and his eyes were questioning when he looked at Chi Na.
Needless to say, these most despicable female slaves can be drugged in the sobering soup, and they can also smoothly touch the Hengsheng room, if there is no one to support them, where can they do this...... Cao Hao came faster than Cao Man imagined.
Cao Hao didn't know what happened to Hengsheng, but after listening to Donghai's words, he immediately explained to Cao Fang and rode over to the palace.
Seeing Hengsheng burning unconscious, Cao Hao was distressed and angry. I feel sorry that he was alive yesterday and sick today; Angry that the palace dared to hide his illness.
I didn't care about talking about it first, so I immediately sent Cao Man to the Tai Hospital to ask the White Court to judge.
The medical skills of Bai Yuan are also at the forefront of Tai Hospital, especially proficient in internal medicine.
Where did Chi Na dare to hide it, without waiting for Cao Hao to ask, he explained what happened last night.
In addition to what Fang just said to Cao Man, there is one more thing, that is, the slaves and maids who touched into the Hengsheng room were not one, but two.
Hengsheng started when he was drunk, but then he came to his senses a little, and directly pulled out his sword beside the bed and cut down the two women.
Now those two maids, one dead and one wounded. The wounded one was tied up and gagged, and the body was laid down in the west wing.
Cao Hao's face was ugly, and he frowned and asked, "Those two maids...... But are they all broken? ”
Chi Na "pounced" and knelt on the ground, and said, "Master Cao, don't blame our master...... The villain checked, and what they gave the master in the sobering soup was Yu Xiansan, the strongest aphrodisiac on the grassland...... Even if the most determined man uses it, he will also be fluttering, such as in a dream...... The master is young and hot-blooded, where can I tell if it is a dream ......"
Cao Hao's face, this time it was blue and black.
's own good son, but he let two maidservants give the "wheel"? What is this called?
If you are greedy for ink and vain and want to be the master's aunt, will the two of them conspire?
The calculation of the person behind it, Cao Hao can guess without thinking about it.
If Hengsheng hadn't come to his senses halfway and restrained the two, there would have been two more fugitives in the palace tomorrow morning.
After a few months, when you appear in front of the world again, you will definitely have a big belly......
