Chapter 336: Birthday Rite (Part II)
Seeing Yang Ruixue being so drunk, Cao Hao felt a little tired in his heart, and frowned: "Miss Yang, please be cautious, it really hinders Miss Zheng's reputation." After saying that, I thought it was funny. She was a drunken person, and she told her so seriously what she was doing with no use.
Yang Ruixue still chattered: "Miss Zheng...... Ms Cheng...... It turns out that my sister is still my daughter's family! Cao Ye was afraid of the county lord's wife, so he didn't dare to give his sister a name, he still liked the new and hated the old, and he thought his sister was old......"
Cao Hao listened to her more and more unspeakable, and he didn't bother to talk to her, so he asked Xiao Er, who was standing at the door: "Who is she coming with, listening to Fang Cai's meaning, it seems that there is a girl here?" ”
Xiao Er nodded and said, "No, this guest originally had a maid and a long entourage by his side, because she said that she wanted to be clean, so she went outside." ”
Cao Hao instructed: "That being the case, you go and call her family to come, so that you can send her back." ”
Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were afraid that something would happen, so they listened at the door, and they also saw that Cao Hao and the female guest on the ground knew each other.
After a while, a maid came in with two elders. Seeing Yang Ruixue on the ground, they were all frightened. The two elders didn't know the situation, and they thought it was Cao Hao and Yi Duli who came in to tease people, and they were a little wary in their expressions.
The maid had already helped Yang Ruixue up, but Yang Ruixue muttered "Cao Ye" and "Cao Ye" in her mouth, and said that she would not go back, and she would have a good birthday.
Cao Hao didn't know why she was so embarrassed, and asked the maid: "I and Miss Yang are old acquaintances in Jiangning, and your family moved to the capital?" ”
Hearing Cao Hao mention Jiang Ning, the maid knew that it didn't seem like a lie, so she replied honestly: "Back to this uncle's words, I didn't move, but Miss Biao came to Beijing to join my young master." ”
Hearing that Yang Ruixue was visiting relatives and friends seriously, Cao Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. He is really afraid that there will be some drama of a young wife from a good family, although he has no good impression of Yang Ruixue, but after all, he is the blood relative of Zheng Hu and Zheng Woxue's brother and sister. If that's the case, he can't just sit idly by.
Yesterday, the scene of Han Jiang holding Wen Xiu's ashes jar appeared in Cao Hao's mind, Wen Xiu was five years old when she was abducted, and Han Jiang was only two years old, so she should not have half an impression of this sister. However, the sadness she revealed was so real and heavy.
Yang Ruixue was so drunk that she couldn't look like it, and the maid was very difficult to support alone, so she asked the two elders to come forward to help. Several people supported Yang Ruixue and walked out of the restaurant.
Yi Duli saw that half of Yang Ruixue's body was leaning on Yi Changsui's body, and he couldn't help swallowing and foaming: "That kid, it's so beautiful!" ”
After standing and watching a scene, Yi Duli asked Cao Hao with drunken eyes: "Fu Ruo, this is Miss Yang again...... It's Miss Zheng again, what kind of drama is it? Talk to me...... I'm going to keep it a secret for you? But his tongue was a little unfavorable, and he stumbled.
Yi Duli was drunk, and after this farce, Cao Hao lost his interest in shopping. Coaxed Yidu to stand up, Cao Hao thought about whether to find a car for him to sit on, so as to save him a while and fall off the horse.
As soon as the wind blew, Yiduli felt a little headache, so he didn't say anything about "not drunk" or "not drunk". But he refused to let Cao Hao find the carriage, waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way...... Didn't drink much. That's all for now...... Instead, he said that when the yamen rested, let's eat and drink again...... Well...... Just eat shabu-shabu......"
Cao Hao was not good at forcing him, so he told his two long-term followers to be careful not to let him fall off the horse.
After Yi Duli left, Cao Hao thought for a moment and went to Tao Ranju.
It's still the same house as before, and the signboard doesn't look any different, but it's much newer. The biggest change is that the popularity is different from the past.
In the past, Tao Ran was not busy in front of him, but it was very lively with people coming and going; Now, it's dead silent.
Iduli has no reason to lie to him, and he will not tell such a lie that will be solved as soon as it is investigated, but it seems that the "Halloween fire" has a problem. No matter who the other party is, this courage really makes Cao Hao admire.
Although the enemy's enemy may not be a friend, Cao Hao still secretly hopes that the other party can retreat and let Brother Jiu suffer this big loss in vain. However, thinking of the restaurant guys who died unjustly, Cao Hao had less schadenfreude in his heart, shook his head, and went home.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Cao Hao heard the news of Wei Hei's return, and the heaviness in his heart was a little gone, and there was a smile on his face.
Cao Hao did not go back to the inner courtyard first, but went to the side courtyard to see Wei Hei first.
Wei Hei had already finished grooming and was talking to Vanilla, when he heard that Cao Hao was coming, he hurriedly picked out the curtain and invited him to sit in the room.
Although Wei Hei was neatly dressed, Cao Hao remembered that when he first arrived home the day before yesterday, he saw Chu Yu's monkey anxious appearance, and he regretted it a little. Maybe he was presumptuous, he smiled and asked a few words about the itinerary of the past few days, and then asked Wei Hei to rest well and went back to the inner courtyard by himself.
Wei Hei sent Cao Hao away, but he felt a little strange in his heart, what good thing did Gongzi encounter, there was more smile on his face than before, could it be that he was about to be promoted?
Cao Hao went to the inner courtyard while calculating Wei Hei's age in his heart. He is also a thirty-six or seventy-old person, whether it is a girl or a boy, and he has reached the age of having children. It seems that in the future, there will be more and more children in the house, and the number of people will multiply, and it will become more and more lively.
When I returned to Wutong Garden, I saw Chu Yu rocking the cart on the kang outside, and Cao Hao also stepped forward. Hang Seng blushed and slept soundly.
Chu Yu got up to help Cao Hao change his clothes, and when he saw that he was full of alcohol, he couldn't help but be a little worried: "How much did you drink?" Be careful not to hurt yourself. After saying that, he sent Xiyun to relieve the hangover soup.
Cao Hao shook his head and said, "It's just four or five taels of wine, not drunk, not in the way!" ”
Cao Hao's previous drinking, Chu Yu knows, after listening to and drinking these, how can he not worry? Therefore, she hurriedly persuaded: "Regardless of whether you are drunk or not, your forehead will be crooked on the kang first, sober up, and save Ming'er a headache." ”
Cao Hao saw the wind on the road, and his head was a little heavy, so he went to lie down in the back room.
Chu Yu was afraid that Hengsheng would cry for a while, and Cao Hao would be noisy, so he asked people to move the rocking car to the East House Warm Pavilion. That side was cleaned up earlier and used as Hengsheng's dwelling.
Cao Hao fell on the kang, and the room was bright, only feeling a little dazzling. He took out his pocket watch from his bosom and looked at the hour, before two o'clock in the afternoon. Complaining that the room was brightly lit, he raised his arm and pressed it against his eyes, which was more comfortable.
Chu Yu settled Hengsheng, followed up and waited, and saw Cao Hao lying on the side of the kang, and when he pushed it, he helped him take off his boots.
Although Chu Yu didn't speak, Cao Hao knew that there was no one else. Not only could he hear her footsteps, but in the past two years, except for Chu Yu, no one else was waiting for him closely. First, he didn't want Chu Yu to be unhappy, and second, he was afraid that others would have other thoughts.
Men can't resist temptation the most, although Cao Hao is not a lustful person, but after all, he is a man with nothing wrong. If he messes around with women all day, he doesn't know if he'll make a mistake.
Instead of making mistakes and making the house uneasy, it is better to stop coaxing your own daughter-in-law. Cao Hao closed his eyes, opened his arms and said, "Come, let me hug me!" ”
Chu Yu couldn't help blushing, and said in a low voice: "This is still a blue sky, and you have drunk too much?" ”
Cao Hao opened his eyes, looked at Chu Yu's shyness, couldn't help but be a little stupid, and couldn't help but say: "Don't keep turning off the lights in the future, let's turn on the lights tonight!" ”
Chu Yu was sitting on the edge of the kang, and when he heard him say this, he gently pushed him and said, "E, don't talk about this, carefully tell Xiyun that they hear, don't call them laughs!" ”
Cao Hao pulled Chu Yu's arm and pulled her into his arms.
Chu Yu's heart "thumped", and he pleaded with a little pleading: "Forehead! ”
Cao Hao kissed her with a smile and hugged her hard: "What are you thinking in your little head?" I'm just tired, remembering that you slept restlessly last night, pull you and let's rest together! ”
Chu Yu still felt that this was out of proportion, afraid that the maids would see the joke, but seeing that Cao Hao was in a good mood now, he didn't want to ruin his interest, so he lay beside him obediently.
"Hang Sheng, this little guy is really strong, I see that he is no smaller than God bless a hundred days. This year's leap month, God has been blessed for thirteen months, I don't know if it is starting to call people! Cao Hao hugged Chu Yu and said.
Seeing Chu Yu silent, Cao Hao opened his eyes and looked down into his arms. Seeing that she was stunned, Cao Hao was a little distressed, and asked in a low voice, "Is this missing my son?" ”
Chu Yu squeezed out a smile and shook his head slightly.
Cao Hao rubbed her back and said, "If you think about it, you think about it, what is there to hide from me?" I'm panicking as a father, not to mention you. ”
While the husband and wife were talking, they heard someone from outside come in and said at the door: "Gege, the sobering soup is ready!" ”
Chu Yu hurriedly got up and got off the kang, wiped away the clothes on his body, and then went out of the house and brought the decanting soup.
"Forehead, drink and then sleep, save a headache for a while!" Chu Yu spoke.
Cao Hao couldn't bear to refute her kindness, sat up, took the sobering soup and drank it. After drinking the sobering soup, he leaned lazily, although he couldn't sleep, he didn't bother to get up.
Chu Yu remembered that Cao Hao still needed to take the idea of the two gift lists, so he said: "E, the first day of October is the thirteenth uncle's birthday, and the third day is the birthday of the Queen Mother Lafayette." According to the example of previous years, Chu Yu and Sister Amethyst drew up a gift list. Send one to the Thirteenth Master's Mansion and one to the Queen Mother. Why don't you take a look at it now, if there is anything that needs to be cut? ”
"These housework, you are in charge!" Cao Hao smiled and waved his hand.
But having said that, Cao Hao remembered that he was going to send the thirteenth elder brother a first-class tea set, so he said to Chu Yu: "The palace is just going through the motions, but the thirteenth master's side has to put some effort into it." I originally wanted to go to the glass factory to buy a good set of tea sets for him, but I didn't care about eating wine with my colleagues. After Ming said, when the yamen can withdraw, I will go to the glaze factory again. ”
Chu Yu heard Cao Hao mention the tea set, and remembered that there were several sets of high-quality tea sets in his dowry, so he said: "Uncle Thirteen loves tea, so send this to the scene." It's just that you don't have to go outside to change it, Chu Yu remembers that there are a few sets in the warehouse. ”
"Why didn't I notice?" Cao Hao was a little surprised.
Chu Yu said with a smile: "Chu Yu has only seen it once, just by coincidence, there seem to be three or four sets of warehouses in the inner courtyard." Shelving is also shelving, sending Uncle Thirteen is cheap! ”
Cao Hao shook his head and said, "That's your dowry, how can you move it at will?" Or let people go out to look for it, and we are not short of money. ”
Chu Yu said: "What about the dowry? Does the forehead still have to be so clear with Chu Yu? ”
Cao Hao took her hand and said, "Don't worry, aren't you afraid that you will feel distressed." Look at the dowry of grandmother and mother, everything has not been touched for decades and has been passed on. ”
Chu Yu said with a smile: "These things are also for people, and it is better to give them to the thirteenth uncle, who loves tea, to be vassals and elegant, than to see the sky in the warehouse!" ”
Because of the family, Cao Hao no longer talked to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu remembered that Zhao Jia's Zhang Luo was buying Zhuangzi and said it to Cao Hao.
In front of Cao Hao's followers, he sent people around to ask Zhuangzi. Because when he left, Zhao Jia's had not yet arrived, and the two mentioned this together.
Hearing Chu Yu say this, Cao Hao said: "If you don't say it, you will forget about this stubble!" The Zhuangzi is written in the name of the second aunt, our family originally had some ancestral property, and we let my father pay off the deficit back then. Now taking advantage of the convenience of the money at hand, I can buy a Zhuangzi for the second aunt, which can be regarded as an interest-bearing item. Ming'er asked Cao Fang to take the title deed for you, and you can send it to the second aunt. Don't let her buy land, keep the money for yourself. ”
Cao Hao told Chu Yu about this in April, and he already knew it, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to send it, so he said to Cao Hao: "It's better to send it, if Chu Yu sends it, the second aunt will think about it more, and it will be bad!" ”
Cao Hao nodded: "Well, since this is the case, when you ask for peace that night, we will send it together." Speaking of this, he remembered the smell of smoke in Zhaojia's house, and said to Chu Yu: "Why does the second aunt still think of smoking pots?" In the past, in Jiangning, I didn't see her smoking pot! ”
When Chu Yu heard this, she was also a little worried: "I heard Mama Zhang mention that the second aunt smoked the pot when she was a girl at home, and later married the second uncle, because the second uncle didn't like women to eat cigarettes, she was jealous!" Since beating the second uncle, the second aunt's cigarettes have also been picked up, and now she always needs a bag of cigarettes every day. ”
"It's not good, it hurts in the end. It's okay for you to go over and accompany her, it's really boring in the house, there is incense on the outside, it's good to take her to relax! Cao Hao shook his head and said.
Chu Yu responded, and the little couple was a little tired, so they fell on the kang, shoulder to shoulder, and fell asleep......
