Hongli pulled Hongli and said, "Fourth brother." You see, Cao Shuang's kid is a bit abnormal? ”

Hongli followed his line of sight and saw Cao Shuang holding the guide arrow, looking melancholy, as if annoyed, and helpless.

Hongli took the bow, handed the bow and arrow to a haha bead waiting next to him, walked over and said, "Don't you usually love bow and arrow lessons, why don't you have energy today?" After taking a month's vacation, can you play wild? ”

Hongtian also walked over and listened to Cao Shuang's answer.

Cao Shuang said: "It's nothing, it's just that my father was a little worried about his trip yesterday." ”

Hongli nodded and said, "I know that your father and son have a good relationship, but Lord Cao is out of tolerance, and you are getting older, how can you be a child again?" ”

Speaking of identity, one of the two is the master. It's an uncle; One, a companion, is a nephew. So listening to Hongli's teachings, Cao Shuang lowered his hand and listened. Hongday's eyes blinked, but he didn't believe it. said: "The fourth brother has always treated you well, but you don't tell the truth. If Lord Cao is just on a business trip, can you feel uncomfortable like this? There must be other reasons, don't you want to talk about it? ”

Because it was his own business, Cao Shuang didn't want to talk in the palace, and said "hehe" twice: "What's the other thing, it's just the head of the day." Some can't open their eyes

Hongli "hummed" twice, but he didn't let him go, turned to Hongli and said, "I think it's eighty percent because this kid wants to go out with Master Cao." Lord Cao didn't allow it, so he was itching here. ”

Hongli saw that Cao Shuang was reluctant to say it, and he didn't want to force him. "Hongpu took a long vacation, I don't know why?" Let them inquire and inquire about it, and if we are sick, let us go and see

Cao Shuang was next to him, listening to the mention of "Hongpu." He lowered his head, clenched his left hand into a fist, and struck his right hand hard.

is this uncompetitive hand, when he drew lots with his brother last night, he drew a vacant lot, and the opportunity to travel with his father was given to his brother.

But thinking that his brother was unhappy a few days ago because of his fall, he excused himself again. I feel that my brother should go, and I shouldn't even draw lots,"

Sunset falls, Jingxi, Zhuozhou, in front of the post station.

Tianyou pulled the reins, panting, only to feel stiff, and he was no longer able to dismount himself.

Seeing this, Wei Hei was very distressed, stepped forward to help his injured arm, and helped him dismount.

Tianyou only felt that the fire between his legs was burning. He looked at Hongpu in front of him with a whimsical expression.

Hongpu is stronger than Tianyi, and he jumped off the horse, but when he walked, his posture was a little strange.

Cao Flail was beside him, looking at the two half-grown children, and rolled his eyes. The 3,000-mile road from Beijing to Gansu is the first day. He turned back and saw the two carriages with the suffix of the horse team. The carriage in front was smaller, and the back was slightly larger, and in addition to the coachman, there were two small men sitting on the edge of the carriage.

The children are still making carriages steadily. Hongpu is noisy, and he prefers to ride a horse. Even Tianyou, who is usually sensible, pleaded with him.

He asked the two children to ride, Chen Chu set off from the capital, and stopped in Fangshan at noon. In the afternoon, I traveled dozens of miles to Zhuozhou.

According to the speed of the officials' travel, twenty miles of car on this day can be regarded as a gallop.

Cao Wei and his party rode in pairs, prepared good horses, and did not change horses from the post station. It was really that Gansu was too far away from the capital, and he didn't want to delay too long on the road.

Cao Liang is good friends with the sixteenth elder brother, and Tianjie and Hongpu are also familiar with each other. The two little ones looked at each other, and they both had bitterness. Not to mention riding all the way to Gansu. Whether Ming'er can climb on the horse or not.

Second uncle, let's take the car tomorrow! Tianyi whispered.

He was going to call the "second elder brother" to remember the instructions of the sixteenth elder brother before leaving Beijing in the morning, and changed his words again.

Hongpu thought that he had only said a big thing in the morning, and his intuitive face was feverish. He said in a muffled voice: "Ming'er will say it again." ”

A post had already come up, and then Zhang Yi took Cao Liang's name card and went through the relevant procedures.

Four upper rooms, preferably a separate courtyard.

Second-grade adults, it's nothing to have a few more upper rooms. It's just that it's close to the capital, and there are many officials who come and go, and there is no independent courtyard.

It's strange that he is on a business trip and has his brother-in-law and son with him.

Although Yi Cheng felt weird, he was not at all respectful, killing chickens and ducks, and asking people to prepare dinner.

After Hongpu finished grooming, he went to the pit and didn't want to move.

On this trip, he only brought one servant, one of the two little guys sitting in the carriage, named Clam; Another one. The little guy is called hoe He, and it is a natural wounded guy.

In the past, in the palace, there were more than a dozen maids and maids around him, but this time he didn't let any of them go out. Even the two little eunuchs and four little servants around him, and only one was allowed to be brought.

This is what Cao Yi meant, he didn't know how Cao Po said it to his Amma, anyway, Ama agreed.

Although the clams have not been waited on closely, they are also smart. Holding Hongpu's changed clothes, he said, "Master, you rest first, and the slave will go to find someone to wash the clothes." ”

Hongpu weakly waved him out.

The clam walked to the door, just happened to meet the heavenly knot, and said, "Uncle Cao." "Delete.; He had an eye in his arms and said! "Hoe He also plays to find someone to do laundry, you can know with him,

The clam bowed in response. Go to find hoes and don't mention it.

Hearing him speak, Hongpu had already gotten up. Pointing to the burden he was carrying in his fist, he said, "What is that?" ”

Tianyou sighed and said, "There is a political envoy who came to Beijing on the net, and my father instructed me to let me go to the room." Come to my second uncle's side

Before the words fell, Cao Yiyi followed up and said, "Second and second brother, I was negligent." When you go out, there are many inconveniences, and if the house is tight in the future, the two of you will be in one place. ”

This title really made him extremely depressed.

After complaining that the sixteenth elder brother made a special trip in the morning to say "when you go out, you still call your relatives, the province's identity is leaked, and you want to cause trouble", and laughed weirdly.

Originally, Cao Mei could still be a "cousin" in front of the sixteenth elder brother, which talked about the generations of relatives, and he was the same generation as Hongpu.

Hongpu nodded, but didn't say anything else.

After Cao Ge finished speaking, he didn't stay long, only said that he asked his little servant to go to the kitchen to get food, and after eating, he would rest or something, and then left.

After a day of horseback riding, it was also hard, and Hongpu only felt that his stomach was "growling".

Tian Yi sat at the round table, turned to look out the door, and said, "Where did these two monkeys go, and they haven't come back?" ”

Hongpu said: "We have been upside down for a day, but the two of them are at ease. ”

After waiting for another cup of tea, it became dark outside, and the room was already lit up, only to see the clams and hoes coming back with food boxes.

Fat chickens and fat ducks are tired of looking at them. Hongpu didn't move, just a crucian carp, two mouthfuls of rape, ate a bowl of rice, and put down his chopsticks.

God blesses this side, and it is also light.

For the rest of the meal, Hongpu asked the two servants to serve it.

Both of them went out for the first time, and with the excitement of a teenager, they had a full stomach, and the embarrassment of running around was also reduced by a few points.

"It would be nice if we could get to Xining, Qinghai is not peaceful, and the Chinese army will go to Xining again." Hongpu pillowed his arms and lay on the road.

Tianyou listened and said, "There is another war?" We shouldn't go to Xining, our lord was ordered to inspect Tuntian, Gansu. "Speaking of which. I was a little curious: "The army of the Western Expedition is still there, is it going to war again?" A few years ago, the kings of the clan went to the northwest. It's about the same this time, right? Is my uncle coming? ”

"Who knows." Hongpu said, but there was a little hope in his heart.

He didn't understand why his father arranged for him to follow Cao Mei out of Beijing, after all, he was only eleven, not fifteen or six, and he was not yet the age of an errand boy. Now I wonder if my father deliberately arranged it this way. Just for the father and son to gather in the northwest and take him to the front of the army for training,

Fangshan, Sun, Zhuangzi.

After a day of hunger strike, after seeking to return home in vain, Sun Ban finally couldn't stand it.

He opened the door feebly and stood in the doorway. said to the two nurses who were sitting in the courtyard and enjoying the coolness: "Tell Steward Qu that the two nurses who are in the courtyard will not get up when I eat, and one of them will ignore him." One said: "The housekeeper has already ordered, if you don't go to work, you won't eat!" ”

Sun Ban wanted to scrape these people with a thousand knives in his heart, but his stomach was so hungry that he didn't dare to play his temper anymore, and begged in a low voice: "I'm tired of the two of you and the housekeeper, I used half of my slow head last night, and today the rice and water are not exhausted, so I can't stand it." Could it be that Mr. Qu really wants to starve me to death? ”

The two nurses listened, and looked at him by the light. Seeing that he was staggering, not as if he was pretending, one got up and walked out, and the other was still sitting in the courtyard, humming a little song leisurely.

Seeing this, Sun Ban was so angry that he fainted.

He is not in the firewood house of yesterday. Rather, it is a courtyard in the middle of the Zhuangzi, and the courtyards are inhabited by people all around. The two nursing homes in this courtyard live in the east wing. with him at the door.

He tried to run away last night, but the door to the house was locked at night. Even if he gets out of the house. What can it be, this side is the village courtyard, and there are kennels on the four courtyard walls.

Mr. Qu has taken him for a walk around the Zhuangzi this morning. Look at the big half-human-tall dog. With a fierce light in his eyes, tearing live chickens and ducks alive, how can he not make people's hearts tremble.

I don't know how long I waited before Mr. Qu arrived.

Behind him, except for the nursing home that had just gone out. There was also a guy with a tray.

When the little servant entered the house, he placed two large bowls on the table, one bowl of stewed meat and two white flour steamed buns, and the other was a bowl of sauce radish with two bud grain flour cakes.

Smelling this fragrant fragrance, Sun Ban swallowed and spitted, he couldn't care about anything else, so he grabbed it and went to pick up the dumplings.

Steward Qu stopped his arm and said, "Sun Wu, eat ten wen, eat fifty wen, and when the meal is over, the meal price will be calculated as five times." ”

Sun Ban is so hungry that he can't take care of the others. Nodding his head repeatedly, his eyes glued to the bowl of meat. Where do you remember that on your "helper" contract, the previous day's work was only sixty yuan.

Steward Qu stopped him anymore, and watched him gobble up with a smile.

Two fist-sized slow heads, a big bowl of stew. Sun Ban ate it cleanly, and even drank the broth at the bottom of the bowl......
