Chapter 524: Compassion (II)
The news of Zhiran's accident was known to Cao Yuan and Zhao when they chased them out; He hadn't heard of the news of the Han Jiang clan yet.
Even on the wine table, between Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang's gossip, they were also relaxed, and did not mention the fire in Pine Hutong.
After thirty years of drinking, slightly drunk, Cao Yan came out of the Orchid Courtyard and returned to Wutong Garden.
Chu Yu was waiting here, and when he saw his little face, he was afraid that he would be very drunk, so he wanted to support him.
Cao Yan wasn't actually drunk, but these people went back and forth immediately, and he was really tired, so when he saw his wife helping him, he leaned over half-stretched. But he was afraid of tiring her, so he didn't dare to exert too much effort, so the husband and wife supported her and went back to their own house.
After entering the upper room, Chu Yu sent someone to bring water and serve Cao Yan to change clothes.
Cao Yan closed his eyes slightly and was at the mercy of his wife.
As the saying goes, "Little don't win the newlywed", smelling the faint fragrance of Chu Yu's body, Cao Yan felt that his blood was surging.
He reached out and grabbed Chu Yu's waist halfway, rubbing it gently against her back.
Chu Yu unbuttoned the buckle on Cao's vest, didn't notice her husband's strange appearance, and said casually: "By the way, the shopkeeper Han heard that the forehead was back, so he sent the maid over, saying that it was a little late today, it was inconvenient, and Ming'er would come again to ask the forehead to say goodbye." ”
Cao Yan was confused when he heard this, opened his eyes, and said suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Han, Han Jiang clan?" How did she know that I had returned, that I had only entered the city in the afternoon, and that she was too well informed? ”
When it came to the Han Jiang clan, Cao Yan remembered that he hadn't seen Zheng Hu and Ren Shuyong yet, and he didn't know if the "Shouzhu" over there caught the rabbit?
This time, he paid attention to Zhiran's affairs, but he neglected that end, and Cao Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
At this time, I heard Chu Yu say: "When I returned home today, I happened to be talking to the shopkeeper Han on the side of the guest room, and Xicai went to look for me, so she knew." ”
When Cao Yan heard this, his mind immediately cleared up, and his heart was shocked.
If nothing happened outside, with the arrogance of the Han Jiang clan, how could he agree to live in Cao Mansion?
Chu Yu saw Cao Yan's expression, as if he didn't know the previous situation, so he told him about the fire at the end of last month.
Cao Yan became more and more puzzled in his heart, looking at his father and Mr. Zhuang's relaxed appearance, it didn't seem like there was something at home.
Both of them are human spirits among human spirits, and naturally they also know that those people are clearly moving the pine alley, but they are actually "Xiang Zhuang dancing swords, intended for Pei Gong".
is to know the face of the jumping clown, but he didn't take it to heart; Or have you solved the problem and can sit back and relax?
Cao Yan couldn't help but complain a few times in his heart, these two old people are really unkind.
In any case, you should always tell him, and save him from guessing.
"Burned half of the street, didn't hurt anyone?" Cao asked.
When Chu Yu heard this, he sighed and said, "It was the second half of the night, and the wind was strong that night, not only did it hurt people, I heard that more than 30 people were burned to death!" ”
When Cao Yan heard this, he was a little concerned, and frowned: "What about the people in our house, the few that Zheng Hu brought over, is there anything inappropriate?" ”
Chu Yu thought for a while and said: "One of them was burned by the fire, and the other said that he injured his leg, and the housekeeper asked the doctor to take a look, and it was not a big deal, just say that it is good to raise it for a month." ”
Cao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay!" ”
In the end, a man is not more delicate than a woman, and he will not be merciful to take the dozens of lives in Pine Hutong on himself.
Through this incident, he thought in his heart that Ming'er would send someone to the Qianmen Market to buy a big water tank. Learn from the appearance of the palace, there are two mouths in each courtyard, and if there is a fire in the future, it can also respond to emergencies.
But I don't know if I commit a taboo, and the children are at a naughty age, if they accidentally fall into the tank, wouldn't it be suspenseful?
Chu Yu saw her husband's stunned expression, thinking that he was like Han Jiang's family, thinking about the dozens of people who died in vain, and hurriedly persuaded: "Who would have thought that such a change would happen, it is all the sin of those bad people, don't worry too much about it, you need to take care of your body......"
Seeing that his wife's face was full of concern, Cao Yan only felt that her chest was hot, and stretched out her arm to hold her in her arms.
"Huh?" Chu Yu asked softly.
"Well, let's settle!" Cao Yan sniffed the smell of his wife's body, lazily responded, and his hands and feet had begun to be dishonest.
"Ah......" Chu Yu was defenseless, he was touched, and he was surprised until he was halfway through his mouth.
Xiyun and Xicai were waiting outside to pour water, and when they heard the movement in the inner room, they immediately retreated with a flushed face.
Walking straight to the bottom of the porch, Xicai looked up at the lights in the upper room, and whispered to Xiyun: "This thing is so beautiful?" Look at the anxious, I can't even take care of the lights out, where can I still see the ordinary Sven? ”
Xiyun and Xicai are about the same age as Chu Yu, both in their twenties, and they also understand personnel a little.
However, after all, she is still the eldest daughter of Huanghua, and when it comes to this boudoir, Xicai is still a little curious.
Xiyun listened, remembered the wheezing sound in the room just now, felt that his cheeks were hot, and he hurriedly covered his hands, took a sip of Xicai, and said in a low voice: "What are you talking about?" It's all Gege who indulges you, and even the master's room has been arranged, do you still want to stay in the house? ”
Xicai said curtly: "It's just a question in front of you, and it's not a heart, can I still chew my tongue as someone else?" ”
Xiyun wasn't really annoyed with her, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get off the stage if she was ruthless, so she turned around and said, "Silly girl, how can the girl's family ask about this?" Now that you have returned, there is a time when you will get married, so you don't have to worry about asking others at that time. ”
Rao is Xicai Pingsu's surname is cool, and when it comes to getting married, he is also a little twisted, and he lowered his head and did not respond.
Xiyun looked at the lights in the upper room, but her heart couldn't help but sink.
Although you can also work as an errand in the inner house after getting married, it is not as cheap as it is now.
For as long as she can remember, she has served by Gege's side, and the master and servant have been very compatible.
She is not the first batch of girls released by Wutong Garden, there were Zhu'er, Cui'er and others before.
Then she couldn't help laughing, what happened to her? Even if she marries, she won't be a Gege girl?
Even if she has become an old mother, Gege is still her master...... * The second time, Cao Yan changed into a new official uniform, and she only felt refreshed and full of Tai.
Chu Yu was not as comfortable as Cao Yu, and changed into a high-necked flag outfit to cover his neck tightly.
After Cao Yan finished freshening up, Xiyun had already led someone to set up breakfast. Cao Yan did not go to the kang immediately, but hugged his daughter and took two mouthfuls hard.
Looking at her daughter's whirring face, Cao Yan said: "I'm really sorry for my baby girl, I forgot about you yesterday, and I didn't think about going over to see you, are you annoyed?" ”
In the end, without the bitterness of pregnancy in October, under this "blood boiling", Cao Yan was busy with the child and her mother.
It wasn't until today, ** hugged Tianhui over, and Cao Yan remembered Tianhui.
Tianhui is big in July and August, where can I understand words? She just stretched out her little arms and slashed at the sound.
Cao Yan saw that her daughter's little hand was brought to her mouth, reached out and grabbed it, put it on her mouth, and bit it gently.
That pink and tender girl, how can she be willing to exert her strength? Tianhui was afraid that she felt itchy, and "giggled" and laughed.
The child's laughter could not help but add endless life to the house, and also made people's hearts full.
Cao Yan looked at her daughter's smiling face, and couldn't tell whether she was happy or sour.
He touched his daughter's hair and said in a low voice: "Good girl, this is the case in the future, you have to laugh more, you must be happy......"
After waiting for breakfast, after going to the Lanyuan to ask for peace, Cao Yan and Cao Yin went out of the house to the yamen together.
When they arrived at the Xidan archway, the father and son said goodbye, and Cao Yan went to the Taifu Temple; Cao Yin continued to ride eastward to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites near Dongdan.
Because the hour was not early, most of the officials in the yamen had arrived, and when they saw Cao Yan, they all saluted.
Among the several chief officials, only Tang Zhiyu arrived. Wang Jing once went with Hu, and Yi Duli would step on it, if he came in advance, it would be unusual.
After a while, Tang Zhiyu held a high half-stack of official documents and sent them to Cao Yan's case.
This is all the files of the Yamen of the Taifu Temple in the last 20 years, although it was previously represented by Wang Jingzeng, the Han Shangshu, in the end, it is still Cao Yan who needs to make the final decision.
To tell the truth, compared with running back and forth on horseback, the errand of this case was much easier for Cao Yan.
If you were someone else, you would naturally be nervous, and you would have to develop the ability to be sharp-eyed, so as not to be confused by the word games of the officials below and memorize something that you have to do.
changed Cao Yan, but it was not so difficult.
Not to mention that his status is precious, the people below dare not easily stumble on him; Even if it does, it may not work.
Since staying in Beijing after Halloween the year before last, Cao Yan has been in the Yamen of Taifu Temple for nearly two years. Although he can't say that he knows everything about the various departments and ranches here, he also knows everything.
In addition, he is not very old, but his years of being a member are not short. has been trained in the tragic household, and he can be regarded as a person with some knowledge.
This Taifu Temple Yamen, although it can't be said that it is ironclad, Cao Yan is in control, but who wants to make some trouble, it is not so easy.
All in all, Cao Yan stayed quite comfortably.
After reading a few files, I saw Yi Duli walking in with a spring breeze on his face, and Cao Yan stood up.
The two had seen each other, and Cao Yan arched his hand again: "I heard that the adults are happy to have a daughter, but I want to congratulate you." ”
"Haha, I didn't catch up with Xisan, this full moon ceremony Lord can't save it!" Yiduli was in high spirits, and it could be seen that he was genuinely happy.
The flag family, unlike the Han family, although they also value their children, they also value their daughters.
Some families also specifically expect their daughters to be close to each other during the draft, and the whole family will follow suit.
Yiduli is a family of eunuchs, of course, he will not be looking forward to adding a girl to glorify the lintel.
I can't complain that he is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, he is also in his thirties, he has three sons under his name, and the daughter only has the stepdaughter Yun'er brought in by the Bai family before, and the biological daughter is still the first one.
"The adults didn't see it, the little hands, the little feet, the ......" mentioned the girl, Yi Duli couldn't help but dance a little eyebrows, but then thought about the yamen, before the lunch break, said that these are not suitable, so he stopped, and said: "At noon, please go to Wilmar to eat pot, don't stay ......"
* A girl was added to the family, and Zhao Jiashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl is a coquette, but she just has a dowry in advance; If you add a concubine, you will be naughty in the future, and you will not say that you will share a piece of family wealth, and it will not be worry-free.
Bai's postpartum has not healed, although Yi Duli said that he did not stay there, but he also saw the heavens and the earth guarding, and he hurt his daughter so much that he couldn't do it. Just a few days after landing, people were prepared with all kinds of puppet gadgets.
Even when he had the firstborn child, he didn't see him so happy. In Zhaojia's heart, how can it not be pantothenic?
But she knew her husband's temper and was a donkey.
The reason why I am so obsessed with Bai is not because Bai is the surname of the people in the south, which is different from the surname of the woman in the north, and the whole person looks like dough.
No matter how annoyed Zhao Jia's heart was, he didn't show it on his face, and he was more and more courteous to Bai's side.
Because of this, she also got several praises from Yiduli, she didn't dare to take it when she said it, but she knew everything in her heart.
Her roommate, Zhang Ping's family, was secretly resentful, and when there was no one in private, she asked: "Grandma, has it been long?" West Chamber, isn't there still a cuckoo? Although the color is not as good as Bai's, it is young in the end, and it was brought back by the master himself. ”
Zhao Jiashi shook his head and said, "The cuckoo is just a yellow-haired girl, where can she compare with that one?" It's only two days of freshness, how can you put it on your heart. ”
Zhang Pingjia hesitated for a moment and asked, "Grandma, since you are a girl, ...... it?"
Zhao Jiashi was holding a velvet flower in his hand, and after listening to Zhang Pingjia's words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the girl is still young, it's still early to remember, in the end, it's her own birth, let her wait for two days." This hurts enough, it hurts to the bones, and then I think of it in my bones......" In the end, it is inaudible.
Zhang Pingjia didn't hear the last sentence clearly, and still flattered himself: "It's not the blessing of the fox spirit, it's still the grandmother's kindness......"——
