Chapter 142: Secrets
Cao Song saw that there were hooligans disturbing Baoya, so he immediately grabbed his arms and rolled up his sleeves and walked over there. The three of Fengde were stunned for a moment, and then they saw Baoya, and couldn't help but say, "Hey? Not a treasure...... Young Master Bao! They also recognized Baoya, so they changed their words at the moment and followed the past to help the boxer.
Cao Song walked over in two steps, and when he heard the palace guards call him "Second Master", he nodded, grabbed the placket of the scoundrel's clothes, and punched the scoundrel's face with a round fist.
The scoundrel was slashed to the ground, with a palm print on his left cheek, a fist mark on his right cheek, two teeth missing, blood stains on his mouth and nose, and a face that was not fancy. He still wanted to struggle to get up, but was held down by the Fung De Fung Che brothers. When the scoundrel saw that the other party was strong and hard, he didn't look like a tough guy just now, and he was busy begging for mercy.
Cao Song took a "bah", he had been here many times, and he knew that this was not a place where he could fight casually, so he kicked the man again and scolded: "Blind your dog eyes, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head?" Get lost! Don't ask you to see you here again, or you will look good! β
The two scoundrels crawled away.
It's not the first time that the shopkeeper has seen this handsome young man get into trouble, but fortunately, he didn't lose anything, and appeased the other guests, he rubbed over with a look of embarrassment, and before he could speak, he Lian hurriedly took a silver ingot and stuffed it over, smiled and said a few words haha, the shopkeeper turned his smile and put everyone in the front row.
Cao Song squinted at Baoya: "Sit with us?" β
Bao Ya's anger disappeared at this time, and she smiled: "But you are Dong? β
Cao Song pouted: "You didn't say that you were a treat to thank the benefactor, but asked me to take the silver?" β
Bao Ya looked up at the sky: "If you don't make a move, Emu and they can also repair those two bastards." Why have you become a benefactor again? β
Cao Song snorted, and before he could refute it, Feng De was used to seeing the two of them bickering, and when he knew that Cao Song had basically not been able to win against this little aunt and grandmother, he hurriedly went over, called the guy and set up two tables, and beckoned the two to sit down.
The show started, and as soon as a martial artist appeared, there was a series of heels, which attracted a lot of applause from the audience.
Bao Ya looked at Daqi, and after Cao Song and they shouted well, she was surprised: "Why is it Ke Ziqing's play?" Is it Liu Zidan's? β
Cao Song shook his head and said: "I don't know this, it's just that what is so beautiful about the singing Raushzi?" How good is this Boss Ke's skills, look at how lively! β
Bao Ya gave him a blank look, and went to ask Feng De and them, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know. Bao Ya nodded and called a guy to inquire, and the guy laughed and said, "This young master, this boss Liu has something to do at home and has returned home." These days have all been changed to Boss Ke's plays, there is "Three Wars of Lu Bu", excellent, you are satisfied. β
Bao Ya looked disappointed: "Then when will he come back?" β
The guy said, "I don't know about this little one." You wait for a day or two, we have invited a new Boss Mei, and we will be on stage in a few days, which is also a first-class voice, and please come to the scene when the time comes. β
Bao Ya nodded and sent Xiao Er away. Because of the sound of gongs and drums on the stage, their voices became louder, and a few people at the adjacent table listened to it, and also looked here, and saw Baoya's pink and tender little face, pouting with a small mouth, and looking naΓ―ve, and couldn't help but turn their heads and ears. After a while, a young man in a blue satin robe came over to talk, and asked Bao Ya with a smile if she liked to listen to Liu Zidan's play.
Cao Song and the others at the table glared at each other, the man couldn't help but tremble, he also saw Cao Song's punch just now, so he didn't dare to laugh, and praised Liu Zidan twice, and was about to retreat.
Baoya couldn't help but be happy when she heard him praise Liu Zidan, so she replied two sentences, and also said that Liu Zidan was a good person.
The man was very happy to get the response, and when he saw that this handsome little brother replied, those people were not so stubborn to stare at him, so he had some courage, sat down on the edge of a chair, talked with Bao Ya, and commented on Liu Zidan's several famous paragraphs.
When the man talked about excitement, he was a little carried away, and it seemed that he was also a lover of opera. In the end, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh with Baoya: "Now I want to listen to Boss Liu's drama again, but I can't." It's a pity that his golden jade voice was cut off like this......" Halfway through his words, he suddenly reacted and looked around.
Bao Ya was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" Aren't you going back to your hometown? β
The man didn't dare to say any more, and was about to leave after a few sentences, but he was strangled by He Lian: "Our young master Bao wants to know why, brother, wouldn't it be unappetizing for you to only say half a sentence?" β
The man's wrist hurt, so he had no choice but to lean over and say in a low voice: "You all know Yang Zimo, the pillar of the Sanxi class, right?" I don't know how Boss Yang offended people and was beaten to death. This Liu Zidan was almost poisoned, but fortunately he ran fast and escaped from Yanjing City, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in ten or eight years. No, has the Sanxi Opera Troupe hired someone again......"
Feng De covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Huh? Who is so bold to move the people of the Sanxi class, isn't this with ......" He also lowered his voice, "Facing up to King Jian's mansion?" β
The man shook his head, and his voice was so low that it was almost a whisper: "I heard that Yang Zimo's body was lifted out of Prince Jian's mansion......"
Feng De had a mysterious and distorted look on his face, and they all shook their heads, silent.
Bao Ya looked dazed, her heart seemed to be blocked for a while, she had no clue, and for a while it seemed to be hollowed out, and the emptiness was uncomfortable. She forced her composure and said to Cao Song: "Since there is no Liu Zidan's play, I won't listen to it." Go back first. Several, farewell. With that, he turned and walked away.
Cao Song had no interest in the secrets of the palace, his left ear listened to his right ear, his eyes were only staring at the martial arts on the stage, and when he heard Baoya say that he was leaving, he responded casually, but he didn't care.
But He Lian saw that there was something wrong with Bao Ya, and he hurriedly stabbed Cao Song, and whispered: "Bao Gege doesn't seem to be happy!" β
Cao Song was only unhappy because she didn't hear the play, and after thinking about it, he went to persuade her, and then got up and followed out.
Bao Ya walked out of the theater in despair, the guard pulled the carriage over, put down the bench, she lifted her foot, but tripped on the bench and almost fell. The arm slammed into the wheel, and for a moment the other sensations blurred, leaving only sharp pain.
When Cao Song came out, he saw Baoya crashing into the wheel, and couldn't help laughing at her and said, "It's hairy!" Knock it, right? β
When Bao Ya didn't refute it as usual, Cao Song also noticed her abnormality, and hurriedly said, "Hey, what's wrong, didn't you just listen to this scene." The newcomers of the Ming'er Sanxi class are here, I invite you to listen! β
Bao Ya shook her head, and only after a while did she say, "Don't listen anymore." That's not Liu Zidan's! β
Cao Song scratched his head: "You are actually a dead-eyed?" Can't play without him? Without him, wouldn't there be anyone else? It's the same when Gege looks back and listens to others. Actually, Boss Ke's play is also good, look at that kung fu, how handsome! β
How is it the same? Baoya felt that her tears were about to overflow, so she hurriedly got into the car a few times, and said to Cao Song through the curtain: "I'm leaving, you go back to listen to the play!" β
Cao Song originally talked about Xingtou, and wanted to tell Ke Ziqing's eighteen martial arts, but Baoya was so uninterested that she got into the car without listening. He didn't have the opportunity to tell, so he said goodbye, watched the carriage of the palace leave, and went back to listen to the play by himself.
* Cao Hao listened to Cao Song's narration and couldn't help frowning. In the face of power, human life is nothing more than a mustard, let alone a drama at the lowest level of society. He knew that Bao Ya was a little obsessed with that play, and he didn't know how much the little girl could untie the knot temporarily. On the side of King Jian's Mansion, Chang Fujin is critically ill, and the matter of Yang Zimo and Liu Zidan itself ...... Concerning the secrets of the palace, Cao Hao was too lazy to think about the inside story, so he only solemnly instructed Cao Song: "Listen to this matter, don't talk about it everywhere." β
Cao Song saw that he was solemn, and nodded busily. In fact, in his heart, this is really not a big deal, if Ke Ziqing's leg is broken and he can't turn over his head, he may regret it and talk about it for a few days. That Yang Zimo, Liu Zidan, he didn't have any impression at all. After a pause, Cao Song couldn't help but mutter, "Why am I saying this?" It's not that Ke Ziqing is dead......"
On September 19, at the first birthday banquet of the fourth elder brother of Pingjun Wangfu, Cao Jiashi and Chunwang Fujin finalized the matter of making a big decision in early October. By the time Cao Hao heard about this, the dust had already settled. Although he knew that his sister was doing it for herself, Cao Hao was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, it was his lifelong event, why didn't he ask him for the opinion of this party? What's more, that big Gege is not yet fourteen years old.
Although he knew that the possible surname change was very small, Cao Hao still discussed with his sister and brother-in-law whether he could delay the marriage.
Cao Jiashi and Nersu both shook their heads, in fact, this matter could not be regarded as their own opinion. Now that the rumor of letting Cao Hao go to the ministry on an errand has come out, King Chunjun has also probed in front of Nersu, after all, it has been more than half a year since he got married, and he was not in a hurry to get married a year ago.
Cao Jiashi saw that his younger brother was a little depressed, and persuaded: "Father is just one of your sons, and you should spread the branches and leaves early!" β
Nersu pulled Cao Hao's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "You don't want to marry Da Gege early, is there someone in the house?" β
Before Cao Hao could reply, Cao Jiashi looked at her husband with a smile and said, "You are like everyone like you, and you are used to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." My little brother is the most sensible, so he won't learn to mess around. β
Cao Hao was very envious when he saw the loving appearance of their husband and wife, sighed in his heart, and felt a little lonely.
No matter what Cao Hao's mood was, the whole Cao Mansion began to get busy, preparing for the big decision before the year.
Amethyst is too busy to do anything, and the things on the side of Kwai Yuan are temporarily handed over to Zhu'er and Cui'er. The two of them are both sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate looks and supple surnames. According to the marriage custom at this time, you will be married two or three months after the big decision. When Da Gege enters the mansion, he will naturally bring the maid to come, and it is difficult to say who the location of the room will be at that time. Although the two of them were anxious, they knew that their uncle had always been polite, and they didn't have the courage to recommend their own pillows, but they became more and more gentle to Cao Hao.
Cao Hao didn't notice his daughter's thoughts, and followed Mr. Zhuang every day to study the responsibilities and interpersonal relationships of each department. I didn't mean to befriend my boss, but I just prepared in advance to save myself from being involved in disputes without knowing why.
Now, it is the autumn of the forty-ninth year, less than two years before the second abolition of the crown prince in the fifty-first year of Kangxi. Cao Hao secretly calculated in his heart, no matter which ministry he went to on an errand, he did not seek merit, but he wanted no fault, and then strive to find a foreign position before the second abolished prince. At that time, his father is far away in Jiangnan, and he is in a foreign position, so the Cao family should not be affected.
Zhuang Xi saw that Cao Hao's whole mind was focused on future errands, and he didn't ask much about his relatives, thinking that he was shy.
Cao Hao only smiled bitterly, counting in two lifetimes, this is the first time he has been married, if he says that he is not excited, it is a lie. It's just that in addition to being excited, I am even more conflicted and apprehensive! A young girl who has never met will become his wife and accompany him for the rest of his life. Regardless of whether the two have a good temper and surname, or whether they look at each other or not, they will be tightly bound together by fate.
The holy car was returned to the Forbidden City from Changchun Garden on September 24, and a few days later, Cao Hao should be edicted to face the saint. Kangxi sat on the kang in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace and accepted Cao Hao's bowing ceremony.
Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, casually asked a few words about Cao Yin's condition, and then asked about Cao Hao's relatives. Then, he said casually: "Someone recommended you to me, go to the household department on an errand in October!" β
I'm really afraid of something, Cao Hao was slandered in his heart, I don't know which one is talking more in Kangxi's ear, but he said very modestly: "Long live, my father still has a deficit in the household department now, should this micro-minister avoid suspicion?" β
"Aren't your pearls enough to make a deficit of money?" Kangxi said with a little feeling: "I really didn't expect that unconsciously, you have grown up Chengren and become a man who supports the portal and relieves his father's worries!" β
Cao Hao didn't know how to answer for a while, and he was vigilant in his heart, his trip to Jiangnan has always been low-key, how could Kangxi know this, could it be the Li family...... They are in charge of the General Administration, and it is reasonable to have a dark line in Jiangning, but I don't know what the purpose is?
Kangxi saw that Cao Hao was silent, and said: "Don't think nonsense, it's your father's excerpt on 'being virtuous and not avoiding relatives'!" I see that you are a good person, but you are a little too cautious! Speaking of this, he rubbed his brows: "Now, you have done your filial piety as a son of man, and you are also thinking about my affection for you!" This errand is an experience I have given you! β
Cao Hao was confused when he heard these words, he didn't know the intention of his father to recommend him, and he didn't know what Kangxi was referring to, but there were other people outside who wanted to see him, and after Kangxi said this, he waved his hand and ordered him to go down.
