Sun Jue carefully put away the note and looked at Cheng Mengxian. Thinking that the beauty who is going to enter the palace is taken for himself, it can be regarded as a great blessing.

is Cao Hao and Li Nai, even if they have that heart, with that nest of surnames, they will not have such courage.

Cheng Mengxian, although he was annoyed, knew that the matter was not over, so he could only say to Sun Jue very respectfully: "Grandpa, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with me, but since Grandpa is a cousin's best friend, the kid has to be verbose." ”

Sun Jue's side, seeing his respectful attitude, nodded arrogantly, and said, "What's there, you say it!" ”

Cheng Meng showed a little caution, led Sun Jue to the quiet room, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, now that the silver has arrived, Xia Chan's deed should also be given to Grandpa." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Sun Jue.

Sun Jue took it, looked at it carefully, and saw that there was a note from the Yangzhou Prefect's Yamen, which was indeed a true deed.

He wondered in his heart why Cheng Mengxian was so careful when he gave a deed.

"Grandpa, this is a big deal to deceive the prince, even if the head of the palace is gagged, it is difficult to ensure that no news leaks out." Cheng Mengxian said.

When Sun Jue heard this, he couldn't help frowning, stood up suddenly, glared at Cheng Mengxian and said, "What is the intention of Cheng Qiye when he says this?" ”

Cheng Meng obviously saw that he was annoyed, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa, the kid just said, as for what, I still ask Grandpa to make up his own mind." ”

Seeing that he didn't mean to stop himself from leading people, Sun Jue's expression eased slightly, and said, "The prince won't be idle for a woman, right?" ”

Cheng Mengxian smiled bitterly: "A woman is nothing, isn't it still about the face of the palace?" Since ancient times, there have been fewer people who have lost their lives because of beauty? ”

Hearing this, Sun Jue's face turned white, and when he thought of the power of Prince Heshuozhuang's mansion, he felt a little bottomless in his heart. The prince of the same generation as the emperor, there is only this one left, and his status in the clan is naturally extraordinary.

"The kid said more, grandpa left with Xia Chan, it's better not to settle it in his own house for the time being, place it outside, wait for a few months, after the matter is over, the palace will be opened, and it will be safer to take it home. It's just just in case, if the palace is in trouble, keep it in a foreign house, find a reason, and get rid of some involvement. Cheng Mengxian pondered and said.

When Sun Jue heard this, his mouth was still hard, and he was already afraid in his heart.

But he didn't want Xia Chan to stay in Cheng Mansion for a while, for fear of extraneous branches, he ordered Chang Sui to hire a carriage.

One time less, the chief hired a carriage and came over.

Xia Cicada lowered her head and came out with broken steps. There was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, although she was not in shape, but she had a small melon seed face, with a little cleverness, carrying her baggage, and followed beside her.

Sun Jue glanced at the little maid, and Cheng Mengxian said: "This is the personal girl of the Xia Chan girl, and the deed is in the girl's hand." ”

Buy one get one free, Sun Jue only felt that he had taken advantage of it, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

He personally helped Xia Cicada into the carriage, but the little maid would look at it, so she didn't follow in, and sat on the edge of the carriage.

Beauty is in front, and it is a new love, this time into the carriage, Sun Jue couldn't help it, hugged Xia Chan, and came to the right mouth.

Xia Chan was held in his arms, trembling, but she thought in her heart that Cheng Mengxian said last night that she would tell Yangzhou to find her brother and send her to the capital. The premise is that as long as she is well-behaved, she will be able to wait for Sun Jue.

She is a native of Yangzhou, and was sold to Renyazi by her stepmother a few years ago, and the most reassuring thing is her fellow brother.

Since Cheng Mengxian is going to make a fuss about thin horses, he naturally won't make mistakes in his accent.

Sun Jue nephrite jade is in his arms, and he doesn't care about the narrow carriage, so he has used both hands and mouths.

Xia Chan has been in the courtyard for a few years, but in the end he has never received guests, this blue sky is white, in the carriage, it is really embarrassing. She struggled hard, but with a lot of force, but as a woman, her strength was limited, and most of her clothes had been removed.

Sun Jue has a heart, but this carriage is limited, just rub it twice, and go one step further, but it is not cheap.

Sun Jue was sweating and panting, and he couldn't get his wish.

At this moment, I heard the coachman's "call", the carriage stopped, and then I heard the long man say: "Master, I'm home." ”

Sun Jue let go of Xia Cicada, remembered what Cheng Mengxian had just said, and hurriedly said: "Who let Xiang Xiang come home, go quickly!" ”

The coachman was still waiting for the cashier to return to the car dealership, and after listening to Sun Jue's words, he looked at the two long-term followers of the Sun family, and wondered in his heart. The master in this car, unlike a serious person, took a sister in broad daylight, and he was afraid that his daughter-in-law was powerful, so he didn't dare to go home.

The two elders listened to Sun Jue's words, didn't dare to ask more, and directly urged the coachman.

The coachman looked at this big head and muttered: "The master always has to command a place, and the little one knows where to catch the car......"

Sun Jue turned around and pulled Xia Chan's shirt twice, blocking the two lumps of white meat on his chest, then picked up the curtain and got out of the carriage.

I wanted to send the chief to go back to the house to get the silver, but the amount was large, so I still took it myself.

He said to the coachman, "This carriage is now in the bag." Wait, there will be a place to go later. ”

When the coachman saw the guest's command, he bowed down and answered.

Sun Jue explained to the two elders, asked them to "protect" the carriage, and he flicked his sleeves and entered the house.

On the side of the inner house, Cao Yingmu turned her face, stroked her chest, and leaned on the kang.

has been married for more than ten years, and for the first time she disobeyed her husband's wishes, she was also "abrupt" in her heart. Thinking that the third sister is a human spirit, this time I can't hide it.

When her husband is angry, I don't know if I can bring the two Zhixian sisters back early, and it's not good to trouble Cao Yi all the time.

The two concubines have been disposed of, but the two concubines are gone.

I asked my husband once, but he only glared as if he was about to eat someone.

Cao Ying was still thinking nonsense when she heard footsteps in the yard. Who else can come to this deep courtyard?

She hurriedly got up, feeling a little strange in her heart, why did her husband come back before Shen Shi arrived?

At this moment, I heard the girl's voice of asking for peace and the sound of lifting the curtain, and Sun Jue had already strode into the house.

"What about the silver tickets that you were holding a few days ago?" Sun Jue thought of the heart and soul in the carriage, and was unwilling to delay, so he said directly: "I'm useful, bring it to me!" ”

Cao Ying listened, took out the key, opened a locked drawer on the dresser, took out the silver ticket that Sun Jue handed her a few days ago, and handed it to Sun Jue.

She remembered that her husband had mentioned before that this was for her cousin's birthday, and said, "Have you found a suitable gift?" Ming'er is Uncle Li'er's birthday, so it's good to catch up. ”

When Sun Jue heard this, he was stunned, and then remembered that it was the first day of the seventh month. In the past few days, he was busy raising money, and he left the matter of preparing a birthday gift for Cao Hao behind.

He pinched the silver ticket in his hand vigorously, nodded carelessly, stopped looking at Cao Ying, turned around and went out...... * Changping, Cao's Zhuangzi.

Li Shi looked at the few exquisite bonsai in front of him, as well as two boxes of rue and sandalwood bracelets, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "This is a birthday gift for your brother?" Didn't someone send it a few days ago, why did you send it back? It's not a whole life, it's not cheap! ”

Han Jiang sat on the chair and replied, "Madam, my uncle came from Yangzhou and brought these earthen instruments. I know that my wife takes care of me, which is a reward for honoring my wife. He wanted to come over to greet his wife, and without bothering me, he asked me to run errands. ”

When Li listened, he remembered that he had heard Han Jiang hear that her grandmother had a young sister-in-law in Yangzhou, so she said, "Is that the uncle who is younger than you?" ”

Han Jiang nodded and said, "It's him, when I arrived in the capital that year, he was only a teenager, and now he has married a wife and has children." When I was a child, he always pestered me and asked me for candy. ”

In a word, Li and Chu Yu both laughed.

Changsheng is five years old this year, and he has begun to be naughty, looking for heavenly blessings and Hengsheng all day, like a little tail.

Although he is an uncle, he is the youngest, and God bless and Hengsheng let him, and he is more and more accustomed to him.

Seeing their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiling happily, Han Jiang didn't know where he said the wrong thing, looked at Chu Yu, and stopped talking.

Chu Yu said with a smile: "Mrs. is thinking of immortality. ”

When Han Jiang heard this, he remembered that he hadn't seen a few small ones, and asked, "Young masters, are they all in the academy?" ”

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "It's a good day, the uncle took a few children to pick peaches in the back mountain." ”

Han Jiang thought of the peaches that had been sent to the city since the beginning of June, and said: "This year's peaches are very watery, and I heard that the longevity peaches in the shop are selling very well." ”

The longevity peach in Daoxiang Village is different from other shops because when the dough is made, peach juice is mixed into it.

Cao Hao left these peach mountains in his hands, and he didn't waste anything at all, except for what he ate, his relatives sent them to try them, and all the remaining peaches were pulled to Daoxiang Village.

Here in Daoxiang Village, peach juice was boiled, or preserved peaches were made.

Chu Yu said with a smile: "Yes, I sent two hundred longevity peaches in the morning, and my wife and I ate them." ”

The Li family has already said: "As early as when I was in Jiangning, I heard the old man mention the wealth of the Cheng family. Our Zhuangzi here didn't clean up much, entertaining guests, will it be a joke? ”

Han Jiang hurriedly said: "My grandfather's branch is just a side line of the Cheng family, and it is not as evil as my wife said. My uncle is just a prisoner, and he is a businessman, and my wife doesn't think he has a low status, so he just gives us the face of the juniors......"

Li looked at Han Jiang, shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Look at you, what do you dislike about such an outlander?" Whose relatives are all the kings of heaven and Lao Tzu? ”

When Han Jiang's family saw her love, his heart warmed, and he thought of his deceased mother, who he had no chance to meet, if he was alive, he didn't know what the situation would be.

Chu Yu listened to the words of the two and said, "People from the Cheng family? Is that Mr. Cheng's brother? The uncle also mentioned Mr. Cheng a few days ago, saying that it would be good if Mr. Cheng was in Beijing, and he could also repair this Zhuangzi well. If the uncle knew that Mr. Cheng had a brother in Beijing, he would also be concerned about seeing him. I'll talk to him when he comes back in a moment. ”

Han Jiang listened, nodded, and said, "Thank you, grandma." ”

While a few people were talking, a maid came in to tell that the third aunt and grandmother of the Guogong Mansion had sent someone over, saying that the third aunt and grandmother would personally go out of the city to pay tribute to the uncle.

When Li heard this, he was a little reluctant, and said: "This hot day is dozens of miles away, and it is strange and lacking ......."

Chu Yu said with a smile: "If my wife feels sorry for the third sister, I will keep the third sister for a few more days." The huge Guogong Mansion, as well as their old lady's side, heard that the third sister was busy all day. If you can go to Zhuangzi's side, it's good to have a good rest. ”

When Li heard this, he felt that his daughter-in-law was very serious, and passed on the daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion to say two gossips, so that someone sealed the silver seal before sending it down.

Han Jiang's side was in a hurry to return to the city, so he got up and said goodbye.

Li didn't allow her to leave, and said: "Ming said that it was your brother who gave birth, and your third sister also came back, so it should be lively." You kid, everything is good, but there are too many courtesies. Since you think that my mother and they are all your brothers and sisters, it is just good to be close to them. ”

Chu Yu's side also opened his mouth to stay together.

The Han Jiang clan couldn't, so they had to stay. The Zhuangzi on the left and right sides is big, and there are many guest rooms, Chu Yu thought about Cao Yi, who was going back tomorrow, so he asked people to go down and clean up two clean houses, and invited Han Jiang's family to live in one and leave one for Cao Yi.

Cao Hao's side became the king of children, and with a group of children, he picked a few baskets of peaches on the mountain and went down the mountain to return to the village.

Hearing Chu Yu mention that Han Jiang's uncle wanted to come over to ask for peace, Cao Hao casually agreed.

The Cheng family knows Cheng Mengxing and Cheng Mengkun brothers, both of whom are good people, which makes him a little curious about the Cheng family, the first wealthy family in Jiangnan that has not fallen for two dynasties. I don't know if the children of the Cheng family who entered Beijing this time are as free and easy as Cheng Mengxing, or like Cheng Mengkun, they have hills and valleys in their chests.

Hearing Cao Yiming coming over, Cao Hao said with a smile: "It's okay to come out and take a walk, and let her relax." It would be better if my sister could come out. ”

Chu Yu served him to change his clothes, and said with a smile: "I also said the same thing with my wife." This time, I want to keep my third sister for a few more days, so that she can also enjoy the blessings of my aunt and grandmother. ”

It wasn't until dinner that Cao Hao saw Han Jiang.

Seeing that she was wearing plain brocade and only had a white jade hairpin on her head, Cao Hao was slightly stunned, and glanced at Chu Yu, who was also plain, before he understood.

Although it has been a year since the Li family recognized the daughter, Cao Hao still felt uncomfortable when he saw Han Jiang's family.

The partner in the early years, and the later subordinate shopkeeper, became a "righteous sister", but she couldn't get close. Even if he knew that this woman had a lot of fate, but Han Jiang's strong surname made people feel pity.

On the Han Jiang clan's side, the face is light, and the number of courtesies has not diminished, which is the same as in the past.

Seeing this, Cao Hao was a little relieved, and couldn't help laughing at himself, what happened to him?

Asking his mother to shelter Han Jiang is just an expedient measure, and Han Jiang also knows it in his heart, maybe he is also a little helpless. It's funny that I didn't treat her as a family member on my side.

Cao Hao went out and took a few little boys to eat.

Han Jiang's was left here by the Li family to eat, because she came, and the Li family also made a special trip to ask Chu Yu to order the kitchen to add a few Huaiyang dishes.

Fortunately, others are okay, but Zhao Jia's family doesn't pay much attention to the "righteous daughter" of the Cao family.

When she heard that the Li family asked the fourth sister and the fifth son to call Han Jiang's "sister", she frowned and wanted to say something, but because Chu Yu was beside her, she still kept her mouth shut...... * After dinner, Cao Hao went out for a walk on the edge of the field, thinking about Sun Jue's side.

Last night and at noon today, Sun Jue took 9,000 taels of silver from Cao's house, and I don't know where the silver went.

It is said that the west mountain is falling, and the twilight is heavy.

Because of going up and down the mountain in the afternoon, Cao Hao's legs were a little sore, and after walking for a while, he felt tired. He went back to the inner courtyard and asked for hot water for a bath.

Ming said that he was born at the age of twenty-six, and he was twenty-five years old, and he will be eighteen years old when he came to this world.

In the romance I watched in my previous life, there are always heroes who are not afraid of life and death, and they have the words: "The head has fallen, the bowl has a big scar, and after 18 years, he will be a good man again!" ”

If he had the courage not to be afraid of death, he would live more freely than he does now, right?

Cao Hao squinted his eyes, soaked in the water, and all that appeared in his mind was the picture of waking up at the beginning of the weaving mansion. In the old lady's yard, the shadow wall full of blessing characters, the two white cranes with their necks up, don't like to take care of people.

The old lady's pampering, Amethyst's concern, the father's stern face, and the mother's pity for herself as the root of her life, like smoke in the past, surround her heart.

Now, the old lady, Amethyst, and father have passed away, leaving the mother behind, who has to mourn her deceased husband and take care of her young son, and can only wait for others to comfort her.

Cao Hao sighed, only feeling a little tired.

He is also a person with a strong dependence on his surname, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, he has been under the care of his relatives.

Now, there is no tree to shelter him from the wind and rain.

And he has also become a big tree in the hearts of mothers, wives, and children.

Unconsciously, Cao Hao fell asleep, and in a daze, he heard Chu Yu call softly: "Forehead, forehead, wake up!" ”

Cao Hao opened his eyes, rubbed his face, and got up from the tub.

The water is already warm.

Chu Yu took a towel and wiped Cao Hao's hair, and said, "Edon, Steward Zheng came from the city, and he came to Zhuangzi to ask to see Eji." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This tiger, how old is it, it's still a quick surname." It's all dark for us, and we're riding horses, so we really have to scold him. ”

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "E, is something happening?" Is it over there, or is there something wrong with the imperial court? ”

Cao Hao put on his clothes and said, "What are you thinking about, it's not that." It's a bit of a thing, and I don't know much about it now, so I'll come back to you later. ”

After speaking, he didn't make people braid his hair, he scattered his hair, and went to the front yard to see Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu's face was a little heavy, and he said to Cao Hao: "Uncle, the nine thousand taels of silver...... After the nine thousand taels of silver were transferred to Shichahai, they were transported to Uncle Li's house in Dongzhimen......"

Cao Hao listened to this, but he was faintly relieved.

Maybe he thought of the Li family before, so he wasn't surprised. Compared with the Li family, it was even more uneasy for him to calculate Sun Jue by someone who didn't know.

"What the hell is going on, sit down and talk about it carefully." Cao Hao pointed to the chair and said.

It turned out that since Sun Jue sent Zheng Hu and them out at noon, they had been hiding in the shadows. It is divided into two places, one staring at Cheng Zhai, and the other following Sun Jue.

On the side of Cheng Zhai, half an hour after Sun Jue left, there was a carriage out of the house. Seeing that the carriage was slow, the bluestone road "creaked" and "creaked" loudly, and it was very heavy-loaded.

The carriage went around the city twice, and the final place to settle down was the Li Mansion in Dongzhimen. When he came out of Li's house, the carriage was light and the weight had been unloaded.

Li Nai's entry into Beijing for a few months, Cao Hao asked people to keep an eye on Li's house, and Li's house was also lined up. As soon as the news was checked, Zheng Hu confirmed that the carriage was indeed carrying silver.

"Cheng Zhai, Cheng Mengxian...... ......After listening to Zheng Hu's narration, Cao Hao thought of the name of this "middleman" and frowned slightly......

(To be continued)
