Chapter 203: Human Heart

When Cao Song heard that the man was still angry, he hurriedly said to Mo Shu: "Go and help him onto the horse. I asked someone who was conscientious to hit him, and I didn't say that I would come down to check it out!"

When Mo Shu heard this, he was about to dismount when he saw Wei Hei waved his hand and smiled at Cao Song: "Since the second young master is kind, why not save people to the end? What's the point of this fake hand for others?"

Seeing Wei Hei's smile strangely, Cao Yong heard this, and the man didn't look serious, so he looked at the "little servant" carefully. He gradually knew it. Although he knew the inconvenience, it was not the time to pay attention to this, so he refused to respond and looked at Cao Song's reaction.

Cao Song grabbed his head, jumped off his horse, and said to Wei Hei with a smile: "Brother Wei, why are you laughing like this? Did you get angry by the little girl just now? You have to think about it when you see a boy?"

Wei Hei was so blocked by his words that he said nothing. He laughed dryly, and held his arms and looked at Cao Song.

Although Cao Song has always been careless, this time he became more meticulous. He slid the "boy's"'s arms and legs, and it seemed that there was no injury. He should have just bleeding from his forehead, so he felt relieved. He wiped the blood stains on the man's face with his sleeve, then clamped the "boy's"'s waist with his arms, and returned to the front of the horse.

Cao Yong and Wei Hei looked at it and were frightened, for fear that Cao Song would throw the man again. Fortunately, Cao Song knew to be careful and helped the man on the back of the horse safely. Then the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw a model soldier at the gate. The word "听" was written on the soldier's name, which seemed to be the governor's logo of the Governor's Office. They accompanied the officers and soldiers guarding the gate to investigate the people who left the city, and they could not help but touch a piece of silver or something. Although the people were cursing in a low voice, who would dare to face it? Naturally, they were careful and responded carefully.

The soldiers who entered the city ignored the soldiers. When Cao Yong saw it, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't see these commanders just now. Where can he sing this?

Seeing Cao Yong's expression, Xiaoman asked for some copper coins from his arms, and bought a few pieces of cakes not far from the city gate, a sister-in-law selling fried cakes, and asked questions by the way.

This sister-in-law couldn't say it for the reason, but it was not uncommon to say it. Every month, she always had to do this. Not only did it not be easy for the people who left the city, but it was not easy for them to buy it like this. Grandpa, who often took it for free in Beijing. If anyone dared to say something, he would be immediately kicked out, and he might even get beaten up.

Cao Yong shook his head, but "If God wants to make him die, he must first make him crazy." He didn't know where Gali relied on such a big deal and dared to do so. He once heard his father mention that the rise in grain prices in Jiangnan last spring seemed to be Gali's work. Gali colluded with pirates and transported grain out of the country to make huge profits. When Zhang Boxing heard some rumors, he tried his best to kill the bandits, and he would take off the firewood from the underworld and completely pull the big borer, Gali, off the stage. This made Gali tremble and determined to get rid of Zhang Boxing.

Because there is no evidence, Cao Yin is not easy to report it casually. Moreover, Zhang Boxing is indeed suspected of "forming a clique" in Jiangnan. However, this party has nothing to do with the throne and is a "Han minister" party.

Kangxi issued an order several times to warn Zhang Boxing. Although Cao Yin was a bannerman, he was a Han man after all. He knew Kangxi's taboos and was not easy to speak for Zhang Boxing during the dispute between Gali and Zhang Boxing, so he could only choose to stand by and watch.

According to Cao Song's intention, he wanted to send the "susian" to the clinic. Cao Yong thought about it, but shook his head and said, "Since Brother Wei said it's not a problem, then take it back to the mansion first! Please ask the doctor in the mansion to help you see it. If you can't help, please invite people outside!"

Cao Song felt that his brother was right, so he nodded and agreed.

Cao Yong was a little embarrassed, looked at Wei Hei, and saw Wei Hei nodding, he felt relieved.

Back to the weaving house, it was already past noon.

The housekeeper Cao Yuan was looking around at the doorman. When he saw Cao Yong and Cao Song coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Cao Yong's reins: "Uncle, second master, master, and wife asked several questions. I will hold a banquet in Kaiyang Courtyard later to practice it for the old lady and uncle in the family!"

Cao Yong turned over and dismounted: "Look at me, I forgot to give an explanation from my fellow disciple, but I'm sorry to the housekeeper!"

Cao Song also dismounted and said with a smile: "Brother and I remember it. I rushed back before the meal!"

Cao Yuan was a little surprised when he saw Cao Yong lying down. Cao Song pulled the man off the horse and resisted him on his shoulders. He asked Cao Yong: "Brother, how do you place this kid?"

Seeing Cao Song's movement, Cao Yong's expression was a little stiff, and he couldn't help but look at Wei Hei, regretting why he let him tease Cao Song. Wei Hei seemed to understand what Cao Yong was thinking, touched the short beard on his chin and smirked twice.

"Brother..." Seeing that Cao Yong did not respond for a moment, Cao Song patted the man on his shoulder: "How can this kid be placed?"

Cao Yong said to Cao Yuan: "Carry out a guest room and ask Sister Yuan to pick two strong servants to take care of him first!"

Although Cao Yong was willing to do this to save people in danger, he was still not sure about the identity of this person, so he should be cautious.

Cao Yuan was confused and didn't understand why he had to choose a servant when he looked after a boy, but since it was arranged by his uncle, he would of course respond happily.

Inner courtyard, in Gao Taijun's room.

Gao Taijun sat on the kang, hugging Wu'er, looked at it and kissed it again and again, and was very worried. Li Shi sat on the chair with red eyes. Originally, she thought Li Ding was sick, but although she couldn't bear to part with her mother, she knew that the old man was worried about Li's family and did not want to stop him from going back. Last night, Cao Yin mentioned that Li Ding's illness was just a remark, and now she was in a dilemma.

Li wanted to tell the whole story with his mother and try to keep her mother; he was afraid that exposing her cousin's lies would make the old lady angry, and the relationship between Cao and Li families, which was already unfamiliar, would become more and more tense. If he did not try to keep her mother, it would be extremely difficult to pick her up as her mother said before.

Chu Yu sat down at the head of her mother-in-law, looking at the baby in Gao Taijun's arms, and her eyes were full of envy. Although Li was very kind to her and had never asked her about her pregnancy, she still felt guilty.

There was only Cao Yong in the family of the Cao family. Cao Yin was old, and the matter of breeding and scattering children fell on Cao Yong. Chu Yu couldn't help feeling a little sad. The New Year will be in ten days, and he will be seventeen.

Gao Taijun touched Wu'er's hair and said to Li: "You and Cao's son-in-law are not my turn, my old woman talks too much, just grandson and granddaughter-in-law..." At this point, he glanced at Chu Yu and said: "It's good to see that the old woman looks like this. Only this one, she is a child without a mother when she was born. It's really heartbreaking!"

After hearing this, Li vaguely felt hope: "What my mother is saying is not. Wu'er is really pitiful. Just point at her mother to care more!"

Gao Taijun shook his head: "After all, the old woman is a member of the Li family, and there is no reason to live in the Cao family all the time. Over the past year, I have nothing to ask for, I, an old woman! Your aunt is older and more than 80 years old, who knows how many days can she have? You also know that we both rely on your aunt's care for today. Although we are sisters-in-law in terms of status, the old woman has always respected her as a husband. When she gets older, she is alone. Apart from me, your aunt, your sister-in-law, and niece-in-law. Even if Ding'er is sick, I will go back! If you are sincerely filial to me, I will advise Cao's son-in-law and grandson to get along well with the Li family. The Li family is your mother's family, and even if you don't care about me, you should still think about it for your sake!"

Chu Yu lowered his head and listened, feeling confused and a little strange in his heart. Not to mention that Cao Yong has always been kind to others, even his father-in-law is not a mean person. Why do he listen to Gao Taijun? It seems that the father and son are not in harmony with the Li family?

After Gao Taijun said the last sentence, he realized that Chu Yu was present. It was inappropriate to say these things. He frowned slightly and swept Chu Yu. When Chu Yu caught up with him, he looked over curiously, and the two of them happened to meet.

Although Chu Yu had changed her hairstyle and learned from her mother-in-law that she had tied her hair bun and did not comb her hair, she was still wearing a festive flag suit because the clothes she had to be prepared on her body for a few days. However, this makeup still caused her to feel upset when she fell down her face and her eyes were full of chill.

Chu Yu was trembling when Gao Taijun saw him. Tears had already come out, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Li was silently sad because Gao Taijun mentioned his aunt Li Xu's mother Wen, and knew that he could no longer leave his mother. When he woke up, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. Looking up, Gao Taijun looked very strict, and was about to have Chu Yu, so he couldn't help but rush to call: "Mother..." The tone was full of prayers.

No matter what, she only has one son and only one daughter-in-law. After contacting each other for a few days, she looks like a well-behaved and sensible person. She really can't bear to suffer any grievances for no reason.

Gao Taijun was called by Li, and Fang Jingjing turned his head and looked at the statue of Guanyin, counting the rosary in his hand.

Xifu, in Zhaojia's room.

Because he wanted to practice it for Gao Taijun, Zhao Jia and his children also wanted to go there. Even Cao Quan also came back from the yamen early and went to talk to Li Xu.

Zhao Jia knew that Gao Taijun was a little weird and couldn't stand the women's flag-wearing makeup, but she didn't take it seriously. She was tall and wouldn't behave like a man if she really changed into the Chinese makeup. Fortunately, the old lady was still a polite person, and her relatives spoke politely.

Just then, my breasts came over. This was Zhaojia's daughter who gave birth to her before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. She ranked fourth among uncles and sisters. Her name is Cao Yu. She is now one and a half years old. She is the age of learning to speak. When she saw her mother, she reached out to hug her.

Zhao Jia was afraid of wrinkling her newly changed clothes, so she did not take them over. Instead, she pulled her daughter's hand and kissed her twice: "Be good, follow the nanny and stay at home. I will bring you a sister back to play with you in the evening!"

The daughter left by Lu Mei has always been Zhao Jia's heart disease. She thought the root cause of these changes between the couple over the past year was Wu'er. Cao Quan made a private decision and took Wu'er to raise Gao Taijun, which made Zhao Jia very annoyed. She felt that this was really embarrassing, and was afraid that those relatives would pay attention to themselves behind them.

On several occasions, she couldn't help but want to complain to Li, but she couldn't let go of her identity, and was even more afraid that her sister-in-law would look down on her, so she could only pour bitterness into her stomach.

Now, when I heard that Gao Taijun was going back to the Li family, the happiest person was Zhao Jia. She was the legitimate mother. If she wanted to raise a concubine's daughter, who could pick her up?

After lunch, they were placed in Kaiyang Courtyard, separated by a screen. The women and children accompanied the old lady in the screen. The Cao Yin brothers, Cao Yong, Cao Song and Cao Shuo sat in the room with Li Xu. Because there were no foreign guests, everyone was more casual, and the relatives talked and laughed, and looked very enthusiastic.

At the dinner table, Li Xu quietly paid attention to Cao Yong's expression. He said those slightly sarcastic words in the morning, which were intentional, and wanted to see what Cao Yong was thinking.

Seeing that Cao Yong's expression was as usual and he could not see any strangeness when he spoke to him, Li Xu couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. He couldn't figure out who Cao Yong's character was. He didn't look as knowledgeable and upright as his father, nor was he as generous and kind as his mother. This made Li Xu feel a little confused and intangible.

Li Xu smiled and had a few glasses of wine with Cao Yin, but he was full of resentment. How could he be worse than Cao Yin? It was because Cao Yin was premature and was in line with the love of talent. He had just been inferior to Cao Yin for half of his life. As a result, he entered the palace to accompany him earlier than Cao Yin. Thinking of his early years, he couldn't help but blame his mother Wen. If he hadn't left the palace earlier, he wouldn't have been valued by Sun.

My heart was depressed, and before I knew it, Li Xu became a little drunk.

Seeing that his old attitude was revealed, Cao Yin personally helped him to the guest room with his son, and sat by his bed. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't bear to feel so depressed. When he returned to the study, Cao Yin hesitated for a while, and wrote a melodious note, which tactfully pointed out Li Xu's fear and made a self-blame of his mistake due to illness. Although he did not directly plead for the Li family, he thought that the one who knew the intention of him to submit this note also understood.
