Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Today, Wei Bai left Beijing, and Cao Yong did not go to the Ministry of Revenue to serve. He did not stay to see him off, but he was sick. The night before, he and Wei Hei and Mr. Zhuang practiced it for Wei Bai. Everyone drank a lot of wine. Perhaps because of the wind when they came back at night, they vomited and bleeded for half a night. They tossed and turned until the second half of the night, and took a bowl of medicine to rest.

Chu Yu sat on a chair beside the bed, looking at Cao Yong lying there, and couldn't bear to wake him up, so he sent someone to ask for leave from the Ministry of Revenue.

Xiyun walked in quietly and replied in a low voice: "Prince, someone from the royal palace has come to pick him up!"

Because today is the newly born young prince from the Chun Palace, who has sent a letter to Chuyu.

Chu Yu glanced at Cao Yong who was sleeping, got up and walked to the outside room, and whispered: "Where can I leave now, right now? You and Xiyan will go for me, send the gift box I have prepared in the past two days, and pay tribute to the concubines. There is no need to raise the prince's discomfort, so that they can't make trouble inside and outside. Just say that there is something in the mansion and cannot leave. When the little prince is full of the moon, I will go over with the prince to congratulate you!"

Xiyun responded and went down and prepared to go. Zhu'er and Huan'er came in. Zhu'er said, "Princess, you have already got the sobering soup, but now you bring it over?"

Chu Yu shook his head: "The prince has been struggling all night and has suffered a lot of crimes. It's not too late. It's less than two hours. Let's talk about it later!"

"Yes!" Zhu'er responded and retreated.

Huan'er greeted Chu Yu. When Chu Yu saw her carrying a food box, she asked with a smile: "Is Sister Zijing who sent you to come and give the prince sober soup?"

Huan'er nodded first, then shook her head, and asked her to be a little confused. Fang smiled and replied, "It was Sister Zijing who sent me, but she didn't send sobering soup to the old man. Originally, I asked. Sister Zijing said that the prince felt sorry for the old man the most, and she had already prepared it, so she didn't have to worry about these people. She was worried that the princess would be tired of taking care of her, so she asked someone to make a bird's nest and send me to the princess. If it weren't for Cheng Yi, who was preparing to see off the second master and second grandmother of the Wei family, Sister Zijing would come here in person!"

Speaking of this, she put down the food box, took out a piece of paper from the side of her clothes, and handed it to Chu Yu with both hands: "Princess, this is the order that Sister Amethyst has temporarily planned. Please decide on the increase and decrease!"

Chu Yu took it and saw that apart from a few pieces of clothing, some silver notes and gold leaves were all light and easy to carry, and they were counted as many as a thousand taels.

Although this is already quite a lot, I thought that Cao Yong would treat the Wei brothers differently every day, and also look at Wei Heiqing who was staying in the mansion. Therefore, she thought about it for a while and said to Huan'er: "Sister Amethyst is ready, but I remember that the second grandma Wei is pregnant, so I asked Sister Amethyst to find some ginseng supplements in the warehouse, plus ten taels of gold, and collar the child!"

Because Fangcha lived in the mansion two years ago, she lived there for more than half a year after Wei Bai came back last year, and she was familiar with Huan'er and the others. So, Huan'er was happy for Fangcha and answered.

In front, the west cross courtyard, Wei Bai's house.

Fang Chaqing had a white face, held the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and sat on the edge of the kang in a daze. On the kang, there were several packed packages on the ground, all of which were sent by Amethyst to help.

But overnight, Wei Bai's eyes were much more concave and he looked much more haggard.

Fangcha bit her lip and finally said the question in her heart: "Where is Xiaohong? You sent her to Rongyuan yesterday, why haven't you come back after a night?"

Wei Bai wiped his beard and replied, "Didn't you tell me? Mr. Zhuang took a look at Xiaohong's cleverness and asked me for helping the aunt in the courtyard!"

Fang Cha was furious when she heard this, and immediately stood up and said, "That's my dowry girl. Why do he give it to you if he wants it? There are fewer maids and mothers around their yard. I'm just a little red, so I'll just take it! No, I don't allow it, you can get it back for me!"

The two got married for a year. Because Wei Bai was older and loved the fragrant tea from the bottom of his heart, he really was afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth, and was afraid of being scared when he held it in his hands. He always had nothing to do with what he wanted.

Today, it was abnormal. Wei Baizuo sat there and ran away, waiting for Fangcha to push him. He woke up from Dameng and said, "Come back? What to ask for?"

Fangcha was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet, but she took care of her stomach, so she forced herself to point at Wei Bai and said, "Okay, since I can't help the second master, I'll go there by myself. I want to ask Mr. Zhuang what the rules are for asking someone else's dowry maid to be a maid!" As she spoke, she was about to go out, but Wei Bai grabbed her arm: "Don't go, what else is there to make a fuss? Xiaohong died of an emergency last night. I was afraid that you would be worried, so she changed this statement!"

"Diet?" Fangcha was frightened: "This is fine, why is it gone if it is gone? Could it be that someone has been bullied or offended those two concubines?"

Wei Bai shook his head: "I saw you personally, I was not hurt. I was sent to the burial ground early in the morning and it had already turned into ashes!"

Fangcha was stunned when she heard this. She felt something was wrong when she was serving dinner last year. She stayed well in the capital, so why did she go back to her hometown? Besides, she had never heard Wei Bai talk about going back to her hometown.

Wei Bai pulled Fangcha to his side and sat down, took out a handful of silver notes from his arms, and handed them to her: "This was given to me by the old man yesterday, and I have collected it! Let's go back to buy a big house, buy more than ten hectares of good land, give birth to him seven or eight sons, and reproduce the Wei family's livelihood! When the sons are older and want to learn literature, we will ask the gentleman; if you want to learn martial arts, my father will teach him. We must always make a fortune and respect us both!"

It was obviously a joyful word, but it was hard to explain it. The bitterness of Wei Bai was sour, and Fangcha felt sour, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he asked softly: "Have you done something wrong that annoyed the uncle and Zhuang Master. Why don't we ask the uncle to plead with him, please help me beg him?"

Wei Bai shook his head with his head down, and when he raised his head, he returned to his usual hipster smiley appearance and said, "Haha, what happened to Mr. Guan and Mr. Zhuang? It's not that my elder brother was in a flash, saying that he dreamed of his dead parents. He thought that we were older as children, but he had never even worshiped his parents' graves. He was really unfilial. When his hometown was in disaster and escaped, his parents died on the road. My brother and I were still young! Thanks to the master, we helped us collect the bones of our parents, and the next year he spent money to send them back to our hometown for burial, which finally gave them a place to live!"

Although Fangcha was born in a family, she was also taken care of by her grandmother since she was a maid. She was a few years older and was a maid in the old lady's yard, but she was just a playmate of Cao Yong, and was not worse than ordinary ladies. Therefore, she was not very aware of the difficulty of making a living outside. Until she got married, she often heard Wei Bai mention the world outside, and only knew that there were many difficulties.

At this moment, Fangcha felt sad when he heard Wei Bai's words, so he said, "Since my uncle is homesick, please ask him to go back with us! This mansion is so beautiful, not our family. Then I will ask someone to tell my uncle about marriage, so we can support our lives!"

Wei Bai smiled and said, "You don't know what the elder brother is so angry? You can't listen to advice. Besides, after being by your son for a long time, you can't bear to leave him even if you leave him! Don't force him, just pray for him twice in front of his parents' grave!"

Fangcha didn't say much when she saw Wei Baiqiang smiling. Although she knew that their brothers had a deep relationship and thought that there shouldn't be an argument, she still felt something was wrong.

Footsteps came from the yard, and someone called out at the door: "Is Fangcha here?"

But it was the sound of Amethyst, and the others came along with Vanilla, Zhuer, Cuier and others.

After hearing this, Wei Bai and Fangcha stood up. Fangcha stretched out his clothes for Wei Bai. Wei Bai said, "Since they are here to see you, you can talk first, I'll go see your elder brother!"

Fang Cha nodded and walked to the door and said, "You are here, please come in quickly. The house here is a bit messy. Let's talk to the east room!"

Wei Bai also came out, greeted Amethyst and the others, and left the yard.

The room was cleaned up and seemed a little empty. Fangcha asked a few people to sit down, and then walked to the door and called Madam Feng in the kitchen to boil water to see the tea.

Vanilla is often here. When she saw her greeting her inside and out, she said strangely: "Where is that girl Xiaohong? You are busy, why don't she see her? She doesn't seem lazy or slick on her usual days!"

Fangcha's face froze, and then he replied with a smile: "Fang sent her to send things to the Rongyuan Courtyard, but she hasn't come back yet!"

Because she was wearing loose clothes, she couldn't see her body, but Amethyst still advised: "Sit down! We are not outsiders, so we don't need to be specially treated by you. Be careful and don't be tired!"

Fangcha thought about it, so he sat next to the amethyst.

After everyone talked for a while, Amethyst pushed a small box and a package he brought with him to Fangcha: "This is Cheng Yi, the uncle and the princess, who gave you to you and your wife!"

Fangcha didn't answer immediately and asked with a little confusion: "Didn't you give it to me yesterday?"

Zijing was stunned when she heard this. Yesterday, because Cao Yong was drinking in the front yard, she was talking to Chu Yu in Wutongyuan. Later, Cao Yong went back drunk and saw that Zijing was also there, so he only taught Chengyi, but did not mention what he had already given.

Although Fangcha didn't know what was in the box, she pushed it back: "Sister, I can't tell you that the old man went back, so I'm ready to replenish it! I've already collected one yesterday, how can I get it again today?"

Speaking of which, Zijing was watching Cao Yong grow up. She was always thinking about it after being drunk. She must have been reluctant to part with the second master of the Wei family. She treated him sincerely, so she smiled and pushed him back: "Yesterday, the old man gave him to Mr. Wei, but today, these were the princess who gave you and the child in her belly!" As she said that, she patted the package: "These are some clothes, all soft and comfortable!"

Because of this, Fangcha was not easy to refuse, so he stood up to take it and asked Amethyst to help thank the princess.

Afterwards, Amethyst gave her gift, two pairs of small golden croakers, saying that they were used to lock the children in the longevity. Vanilla, Zhuer and Cuier also had their own gifts, and the fragrant tea was solemnly thanked.

Thinking of meeting again someday, everyone sighed and talked a little. After a while, Amethyst and the others stood up to say goodbye. Because Vanilla and Fangcha were the best, they wanted to stay and help her clean up, so they did not go back with Amethyst and the others.

Fangcha thought that although he was not close to Wei Hei, he was his husband's brother after all, so he told Vanilla a few more words, asking Vanilla's brothers to get closer to him so that he would not be alone. Vanilla had three brothers, except for one staying in the southern mansion, the remaining two were all from here last year.

When Cao Yong woke up, it was already the second quarter of Si (10:30 in the morning). Although his head was as heavy as if it was filled with lead, he still did not forget that it was Wei Bailijing's day, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the front yard.

The luggage had already been loaded on the carriage, and Fangcha had also got on the carriage. It was because he had not seen Cao Yong, Wei Bai and Wei Hei, and Mr. Zhuang was chasing family matters, but he refused to leave.

Seeing Cao Yong running out in disorganized clothes, Wei Bai smiled a little above his face: "Young master, this alcohol tolerance is really not good. You have to practice well. Next time, I have to have a good drink with Lao Bai!"

Cao Yongzheng nodded in a key position: "Brother Wei, don't worry, I'm getting older and I'll have a lot of alcohol. Next time I will have a good time!"

Wei Bai left Mr. Zhuang, and then gave Wu Mao and brother Wu Sheng to give me some careful advice, and finally rubbed Xiaoman's head: "Good boy, follow the young master to do it well!" After saying that, he turned over and held his horse, clasped his fists at Cao Yong and said, "Young master, Lao Bai is leaving first!"
