The 1222nd Pearl of the Sea (II)

When he saw Cao Hao, Heshan's eyes rolled wildly.

He wanted to tease, but thinking about Cao Hao's surname, he had always been serious, and he only got two "hehe" words on his lips.

Nalan Fusen looked at Cao Hao, his expression a little tangled. Not long ago, he had tea and talked with Cao Hao, and he knew that he was not drunk.

If it is said that "if the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk", it is a bit out of the spectrum.

That fair lady has the best appearance among the women who accompany the wine today, but compared with Da Gege, she is still slightly inferior.

Could it be that you like this woman to be young?

Cao Hao knew that they had misunderstood, but he couldn't defend himself, so he could only diverge and say, "Why are they all outside?" After three rounds of drinking, isn't it almost time to disperse, and it is said that everyone will have to go to the yamen on an errand......"

Heshan only thought that Cao Hao was in a hurry to Namei, squeezed his eyebrows, and said: "It's almost time to disperse, it's just that the big guys are drunk, these are nine cold days, and there is snow on the road, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be my sin?" There are rooms here, so the big guys will have a good night. The earth dragon is warm...... What's on the kang...... It's soft ......."

Seeing him laughing obscenely, Cao Hao couldn't cry or laugh.

But it was for this sentence that he understood that he couldn't leave the fair lady on the side of the hall at will.

What kind of life did the fair lady live before, don't do his business; After knowing that the fair lady may be Ma Jun's daughter, she didn't care about it, and she lost her morality.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "There's no need to stay overnight, this beautiful girl's biological father, maybe it's a fellow villager I know, although it's still very sure now, but I have to take care of some ......."

Hearing this, Nalan Fusen and Heshan were a little surprised.

Nalan Fusen breathed a sigh of relief, he had a friendship with the Cao family that began with his father, he and Cao Hao joined the contract, and his relatives also did good things about the family. If he ate flower wine with Cao Hao, it would reach the ears of the county lord, and it would be embarrassing to walk back.

Heshan is just drunk, and his mind is full of men and women.

Although this drama of eating flowers and wine and eating the "daughter of a fellow countryman" is a bit rapping, he still thinks that Cao Hao is used to being a gentleman and can't let go of the excuse of his figure, so he can't help but slander in his heart, and laugh at Cao Hao's unhappiness.

"This one is ...... It seems that Fu Ruo has the heart to have a long-term ...... Long-term care, ......" Heshan smiled more and more obscenely, and his tone became strange.

Cao Hao saw that he was drunk, and he didn't bother to talk to him.

Besides, even if he makes a defense, others will only think that he is a and set up a memorial arch, who will believe that he is selfless from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, he was selfish.

Not to mention that the fair lady may be Ma Jun's daughter and his niece, even if this fair lady is just a lie, not Ma Jun's blood and bones, it is not good to let her stay outside. Otherwise, if you are used by someone with a heart, your tongue can also hurt and kill people.

"That slender lady's deed...... Cao Hao said in a deep groan.

Heshan grinned, with a smile on his face, patted his chest vigorously, and said, "Some little things, wrapped up in my old He." ”

Nalan was beside him, and he couldn't help but worry about it again.

Heshan was not drunk and confused, and he still remembered to take care of Cao Hao's reputation, and did not redeem it with great fanfare. Instead, he summoned the boss to a quiet place before he was allowed gold and silver.

The owner of this music skill class bought these girls to teach them music skills and serve nobles, just to sell them at a good price.

My Lady is a virgin, and her appearance is the best of everyone, and Heshan took out 1,300 taels of silver to get the Slender Niang's deed.

So, in less than a quarter of an hour, Cao Hao became the new owner of the Slender Lady.

Cao Hao doesn't like to take advantage, so he refuses to let Heshan break the bank, and wants to give Heshan the value of the slender girl.

Heshan was stubborn and refused to accept it, looking at what it meant, Cao Hao would be annoyed if he was long-winded.

Cao Hao had no choice but to do it, but he turned around and whispered to Nalan Fusen: "Brother Nalan, is Lao He looking for me something?" Now that he is coming out, it is not like he used to be a faction. ”

If you eat wine in the room, you will eat wine, where is there such a thing as today, there is a hidden intention of selling well.

Nalan Fusen saw that Heshan had gone around in a circle, and without mentioning the matter, he whispered that they wanted to participate in the sea trade.

Cao Hao is not a stereotypical person, but Heshan and these people are all from the imperial guards, and now they are in a critical position inside and outside the capital, and it is not difficult to sell them to these people, but the impact is not good.

If you are used by someone with a heart, maybe you will put yourself with a "ill-intentioned" hat.

This favor can't be done by yourself.

Although he made up his mind in his heart, he didn't say anything on his face, only nodded, indicating that he had written down the matter.

One time later, Zhang Yi came back from Cao's Mansion and brought a blue tweed carriage.

Cao Hao instructed Zhang Yi to take the girl to the car, returned to the dining room by himself, said hello to everyone, and then rode back home.

On the carriage, the fair lady's heart "thumped", pursed her mouth and said nothing.

In addition to her, there were two grandmothers in their fifties on the carriage, both dressed well.

The girl wanted to ask who these two were, but she was afraid that she would be mistaken for frivolousness. She felt sorry for her life experience, regarded herself as the young lady in distress, for fear of being looked down upon, and acted very carefully.

Although the two grandmothers lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eyes, they couldn't help but look at the young woman in front of them from the corners of their eyes and guess her identity.

The appearance is good, but the eyes are rolling, revealing unruliness, and acting with a little childishness.

They were sent by Chu Yu, and they were only asked to come and pick up a girl and send them to the house in Qingfeng Hutong to settle down.

The house in Qingfeng Hutong is Chu Yu's dowry, and he has been idle, leaving a two-room family to watch the house.

If you change it to someone else's house, the girl that the male owner knows outside, and the hostess makes people pick up people, and there are many stories inside.

But Cao Hao didn't care about women, and the disrespectful thoughts in the hearts of these two grandmothers only flashed, and then they turned around again......* went back to the house, entered the inner house, and when passing by the Orchid Courtyard, Cao Hao's footsteps stopped.

It was already around ten o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the upper room of the Orchid Courtyard had not been extinguished.

Cao Hao knew that the Li family was mostly for Gao Taijun's illness. He sighed, went into the courtyard, and entered the upper room.

In the room of "Master ......", there were two maids on duty at night, and when they saw Cao Hao, they hurriedly got up.

Li was in the back room, heard the movement, and raised his voice: "Hao'er is back......"

Cao Hao responded and picked up the curtain and entered the back room.

Li was sitting in front of the Buddha statue, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand, and his face could not hide the haggard look.

"If my mother is not worried about my grandmother's side, I will go there for a few days, right?" Cao Hao said.

When Li Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a low voice: "Is this cheap?" The old lady has passed, it's enough to trouble them little ones, I'll go over again? ”

Li Ding hasn't arrived home yet, Li Yu and Li Cheng are both nephews and grandchildren who have gone out of service, and her cousin and grandmother, the eldest is a handful of years, and she still goes back to her parents' house to live, which is a little unseemly.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "What's not cheap when it's urgent?" Although there are elderly aunts and two nieces and daughters-in-law on the Li Mansion, and their mothers have taken care of their grandmothers in the past, maybe they will be relieved. ”

Instead of making it difficult for his mother to sleep and worry about Gao Taijun, it is better to go to Gao Taijun's side to fulfill his filial piety.

When Li heard this, he was very moved, and he hesitated a little: "What if the old lady doesn't allow it?" ”

"Mother is the closest person to Lao Taijun, where is there any reason why Lao Taijun is not allowed." Cao Hao said.

Li's face was a little more bright, nodded vigorously, and said, "It is this truth, it is this path ......"

Cao Hao said a few more words with Li, served her to lie down, and then returned to Wutong Garden.

Chu Yu was waiting.

Smelling Cao Hao's drunken body, Chu Yu hurriedly instructed Lelan to serve the decanting soup.

Cao Hao waved his hand and said to Chu Yu: "Just sober up the soup, drink all the wine at night, and your stomach is still empty, I feel a little hungry at this time." If you want to eat pimple soup, send it with Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, and eat two bowls to relieve hangover......"

Chu Yu did as he was told, and served Cao Hao to change his clothes and freshen up.

After Cao Hao finished freshening up, Chu Yu sent the maid away and asked, "That girl, could it be the bloodline of Fifth Master Wei?" ”

Zhang Yi came back to pass the word, only saying that it was the daughter of the old man's old friend, and asked Chu Yu to arrange for two old grandmothers to accompany him for a few days.

Cao Hao's old friends, Chu Yu mostly knew, among which only Jiangning Wei Xin was famous for his romance.

If it weren't for the absurdity of the romance, he would not have taken more than ten concubines and added five or six concubines and concubines before marrying his wife.

Other people, even if they are not as upright as Cao Hao, are mostly surnames who cherish their names and save their lives.

Cao Hao shook his head, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "It's not related to Wei Xin, according to her own statement, she is Ma Jun's outer roomdaughter." ”

"Huh?" When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Ma Jun is the only son of the two rooms, the wives of the two rooms are the ladies of the official eunuchs, the more virtuous people who change the law, there is no shortage of concubines in the family, and there are many concubines and concubines, which is very lush.

There is no jealous woman in the family, and there is still a foreign house, where does the plan come from?

At this time, she noticed that her husband had just said the word "self-presentation", and she somewhat understood why she was placing people outside, instead of directly coming to the house...... With this matter in mind, the next morning, before going to the yamen, Cao Hao made an uninvited guest and went to the horse house.

Although the horse house is divided into two places, Cao Hao will not find a mistake.

Ma Jun is a Confucian son, and his uncle is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, so he has long been lawful.

In the first half of each month, he is placed in the long house; In the second half of the month, it was placed in the second room. has been married for more than ten years, and it has always been like this.

Ma Junzheng was having breakfast with Zhong, and when he heard the news of Cao Hao's visit, he thought he had heard it wrong.

After the little guy said it again, he reacted, immediately put down his chopsticks, and walked quickly with his shoes, wondering if something was wrong. Otherwise, with Cao Hao's calm and calm surname, it would be really difficult to do something that came without telling him in the morning.

Cao Hao was eating tea in the living room, and he didn't feel anything last night, but when he woke up, he had a hangover and his temples hurt.

Under the hangover and headache, his face was a little unsightly.

Seeing this, Ma Jun became more and more worried.

There has been some unevenness in the six parts recently, and he knows it. Yuan was also worried about Cao Hao, but he thought that Cao Hao was the royal family and acted respectfully, so he should not be involved.

"Fu Ruo, come early in the morning, could it be that something big happened?" When the two were young friends, Ma Jun also did not greet him, and when he saw Cao Hao, he got straight to the point.

Cao Hao raised his eyes, glanced at Ma Jun with a smile, and said, "There is indeed a big event, but it has nothing to do with me, but it is a happy event for Brother Tiancheng?" ”

"Happy event?" Ma Jun was a little confused: "What kind of happy event?" ”

If you talk about his promotion, although it is not ironclad, it is also ** and ten, it should not let Cao Hao make fun of himself in the morning; If it is said that it is a matter of marrying a daughter, the marriage date is set early, and it will not be the last marriage, and it will not be Cao Hao's surprise.

Cao Hao was not in a hurry to speak, but only looked at the little guy standing at the door.

Seeing this, Ma Jun knew what to expect, and waved his hand to send the little guy down.

There were only two people left in the hall, and Cao Hao said: "Congratulations to Brother Tiancheng for adding another daughter." ”

When Ma Jun heard this, he couldn't help but bared his teeth and said, "If Fu Ruo is drunk early in the morning, when will I add a daughter?" Even if there is a concubine now, it is only three months, who knows if it is a daughter or a son? ”

Cao Hao didn't speak, only took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Jun.

Ma Junhu took it in confusion, frowned and looked at it, but couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This is my veil!" ”

Cao Hao glanced at him and said, "Since you still recognize this handkerchief, then which one will this handkerchief be given to as a token, presumably Brother Tiancheng also knows it in his heart." ”

Hearing this, Ma Jun pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "There is such a thing, whether the token is a token or not, it doesn't matter." ”

Cao Hao's heart sank when he heard this.

Originally, he still thought that a veil didn't mean anything, maybe there was some misunderstanding in it. If Ma Junzhen makes trouble with his illegitimate daughter, it will not only hinder his reputation, but also affect several children of the Ma family.

And that fair lady, who lost her mother when she was a teenager and was raised like a plaything, is really pitiful.

I heard Ma Jun continue: "Speaking of which, Fu Ruodang also knows this person. It's not someone else, it's the young lady of the Cui Fucheng family who was robbed of her house back then. ”

Hearing him say this, Cao Hao remembered the scene when he was a teenager when he was taken by Wei Xin to the opposite side of Lin Xiazhai to peek at the daughters of the Jizhu Society.

Among them, there was a young girl who was petite and wore a thick gold collar on her chest and a fist-sized gold lock. The carriage was also covered with gold leaf.

"Is that the Miss Cui family who almost kissed you?" Cao Hao remembered another old thing.

At that time, Ma Jun's father was the prefect of Jiangning, and he was superior and subordinate to this Cui Fucheng. The Cui family has the intention to cling to Shangguan, revealing the meaning of marriage. Ma Zhifu didn't like Cui Fucheng's character and politely refused this family business. For this, the two families are still unhappy.

Ma Jun nodded and said, "Although her parents are greedy, they are not bad, and her sister was also a friend of the boudoir in her early years. It's just that because Cui Fucheng broke the official, her family members were all sold into slavery, so she was not enslaved. I met her in Changsha County, when she was ransomed by relatives and passed through Changsha. It just so happened that there was a case in the government, and a girl from a family was abducted by a kidnapper, and a case was filed in the county office. That family is a big family in the countryside, and in addition to reporting to the official, many clansmen have also made many clansmen guard the dock at the intersection. Coincidentally, this Miss Cui family happened to look a little like the kidnapped girl, and she was detained by the family along with two relatives. Later, when I got into trouble with the county government, I looked at the origin of the Cui family's daughter, and I became suspicious, only to recognize that it was Jin Zhu, the eldest daughter of the Cui family. She fell and broke her elbow, so I took out a handkerchief and had her bandaged...... Later, when the truth came out, her two relatives wanted to take her away, and I remembered the old friendship, so I gave fifty taels of silver. Her family was ruined, and she was only followed by two relatives who were not close, and she looked pitiful. I couldn't look past it, so I said that if she had a hard time in the future, she could come to the county government to look for me, how could I take care of one or two ......."
