Chapter 216 Farewell

Yizhou, Daotai Mansion.

Cao Song came back from the martial arts hall and saw two more carriages at the door. The servants were leading the coachman to the carriage house. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Jiangning had someone again? Thinking of the words his mother said before the New Year, he felt his ears itchy. What if his mother sent two mothers to chase Yuqiong?

When the servants saw Cao Song, they all bowed their hands and said, "The Second Master is back!"

Cao Song clicked, looked at the two carriages, and asked, "Whose family belongs to this?"

The servant replied: "Reply to the second master, it was Miss Cousin's house who sent the old lady's wife to pick her up!"

"Miss cousin!" Cao Song frowned, thinking about how uncomfortable Dong Ejinghui felt whenever she saw her awkward appearance, she felt very uncomfortable. She snorted coldly and muttered, "Ugly girl, she is really heartless!"

Cao Song's residence was the former western neighbor of Daotai Mansion. Now it was opened and connected to the original inner house of Daotai Mansion, the east neighbor of Daotai Mansion, and became the West Road. He lived in the main courtyard of the West Road, and the few small courtyards in front were Cao Yanxiao, Cao Yanwei, Wei Hei and others. Mr. Zhuang lived in the main courtyard of the East Road, and in front was the residence of Master Han and Master Lu, and there were two empty courtyards serving as guest rooms. The newly hired two masters of Zheng Ming did not live here because they were both locals.

Perhaps it was because Yu Chan and Yu Ying had a lot of effort when dealing with Madam Zhang back then; perhaps it was because they were used to seeing these two maids, and they didn't feel that they were as annoying as before. Therefore, Cao Song still asked Zi Jing to bring them to Shandong. In addition to being a Yulong, the maid who was separated with Yulong, who was named Yushu, also came to serve.

Because of Yulong's identity, she was the leader among the crowd.

Seeing Cao Song come back, Yu Chan and Yu Ying go to take the water, Yu Spider and Yu Qing help him change his clothes. Cao Song asked Yu Qing, "Are you relatives coming to the mansion? Have you seen it?"

Yuqing shook his head: "I just heard from a nanny mention it and said he was going to the princess's yard!" While speaking, he helped Cao Song tighten his belt. Yu Zhu stood in front of Cao Yong and hurriedly buttoned the buttons on his vest.

Although when he first arrived at Cao Song to serve, Yulong and Yu Spider were still two fourteen or five yellow-haired girls. Now, two and a half years have passed, and they are already tall and beautiful.

Although Yuqiong is dressed as a girl, she has been a woman for two years. She has a round and smooth body and a bit passionate between her eyebrows and eyes. Jade spider is half a year older than Yuqiong, and she is also seventeen. She has a petite figure, fair skin, and a quiet behavior.

Cao Song smelled the familiar fragrance and couldn't help but look at the Jade Spider. Seeing her lowering her head slightly, she revealed a piece of her fair neck, which was the buttons that were all in mind.

Cao Song felt a heat all over and his breathing became heavier. The jade spider had already tied the buttons, took a step back, raised his head, looked at Cao Song, turned around and went with the jade cicada, and the two jade fireflies to pass the meal.

Yuqing heard something wrong and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong? But where is it uncomfortable?"

Cao Song glanced at the slightly graceful figure of the jade spider at the door and replied casually: "Well, I've moved a lot in the morning and felt a little tired. I'll lie down for a while!"

After using the rice randomly, Cao Song said he was about to take a break, leaving only the Jade Spider to serve him.

Although Cao Song was a bit ridiculous in the past two years, it was only for a while. Since he had a jade dragon in the house, he was not very concerned about men and women. Originally, the mansion thought he would take over the jade spider, but he didn't expect that he was impatient with this.

Therefore, although Cao Song left the jade spider in the room, Yuqiong didn't think much about it and went back to the house to do needlework with the embroidery patch.

In the room, Cao Song lay on his back on the bed, watching Jade Spider standing in front of the table pouring tea. Unlike Jade Rain's plumpness, Jade Spider has a thin melon-shaped face, coupled with a slightly petite figure, looking like an old girl.

She poured tea and turned around to see Cao Yong looking at him. She tilted her head and smiled, "What are you looking at? What do you have to see?"

Cao Song was joking with her and felt a little embarrassed. He hummed and glanced at him, "Look at me, why don't you gain flesh?"

Seeing that Yu Zhu just stood with a smile and did not come forward, Cao Song felt itchy and deliberately raised his face and said, "You girl, can you still die of thirst?"

Jade Spider laughed and moved forward, stood down one step away from the bed, and delivered the tea with both hands.

Cao Song closed his eyes, took a breath, opened his mouth and said, "I am tired, please send some here and wait for me to drink!"

Jade Spider took another step forward, leaned down slightly and brought the tea bowl to Cao Song. Cao Song lay on the pillow. If the tea bowl was tilted, the tea might drip on him.

Yu Zhu was thinking about how to serve him to drink tea. Cao Song's eyes were already open. He held Yu Zhu's wrist with his left hand, took the teacup with his right hand, and brought it to his mouth. He drank it all in one gulp, and then placed the empty teacup next to his pillow.

During this period, his eyes never left Jade Spider's face, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Yushu felt that his body was about to become soft, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Seeing Cao Song looking at him like this, he timidly said "Master".

At this moment, she had been pulled down on the bed, and Cao Song turned over and leaned over her and sniffed two deep mouths.

Yuspider twisted his body and stretched out his hand to push Cao Song's arm, but he didn't know that the twist made Cao Song feel more and more emotional. Cao Song only felt that the people under him struggled, and his chest was tightly pressed against his chest, so how could he bear it...

When the clouds faded and the rain dissipated, the jade spider lay in Cao Song's arms. Cao Song closed his eyes and asked, "Your fragrance smells so good. Why didn't you use it before?"

Jade Spider did not respond. Cao Song was impatient and frowned slightly, opening his eyes to her. Although he did not cry, there were two lines of tears on Jade Spider's face, which looked very pleasing.

Cao Song immediately hugged her in his arms: "Why are you crying? I will love you!"

While leaning against Cao Song, Yu Zhu said in a hoarse voice: "I bullied people and didn't say that I hurt Zhu'er, but I also made Zhu'er look embarrassed to see Yulong!"

Cao Song rubbed Yushu's body twice and pushed her away: "I don't care about you. Go and ask someone to bring a basin of water. This body is so greasy and uncomfortable!"

Seeing that Yu Spider seemed to be worried, Cao Song waved his hand: "Don't worry about Yu Qing, it's not her turn to speak about it, and she is not a temper!"

Yushu got up, put his hair together, then looked down at the wrinkled clothes on his body, stretched them twice, and then came out of the room to hold water. As soon as Yushu hit the room, he saw Yushu's appearance full of spring expression, and looked at her with a smile, turned around and headed into the Yushu's room.

Yu Zhu looked at it, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. When she turned around and returned to the room, she was shy again.

Yulong and Yuying were doing work together and were talking. When they saw Yuchan coming in, their faces were a little strange, so they asked why.

Yu Chan sat down to the kang without anyone giving in, so she took the plate of hawthorn placed on the kang table in her hand and said while eating: "The jade spider came out to bring water, as if he was waking up!" Because she was a little anxious, the hawthorn accidentally chuckled her teeth and bit her cheeks.

When Yuqing heard that Cao Song woke up, he put down his work and got off the kang and wanted to go to the room to serve him, but Yu Chan pulled her clothes away.

Yulong couldn't solve the problem, Yu Chan rubbed her cheeks and said, "Don't go first... I'm afraid it's annoying!"

Yuqing didn't react for a moment, and Yuchan said with a sarcastic look on her face: "That guy who was afraid that others would not know how to be slutty, and he came to the yard with his sweat towel to bring water!"

The jade dragon did not move for a while, and after a while, he sat back on the kang, picked up the embroidered band, and smiled and said, "This is a happy event. Let's congratulate Sister Spider later!" Having said that, the hand was already shaking, and the needle suddenly pierced the hands. Blood immediately gushed out of the fingers, condensed into a drop of blood, and slipped onto the band, bright red.

Yuying couldn't bear it when she saw it, and glanced at Yu Chan and said, "What's the matter? It's worth talking about it for a while. Let's just watch it!"

Although the two looked fat and thin, they looked no different, but they were sisters in their cousins, and Yuying was her cousin.

Yuchan took a hawthorn and put it in her mouth, muttering in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that Yulong will suffer? That ghost girl is not as honest as Yulong, and she is used to pretending. What if my grandfather has a new love..."

Taotai yamen, study room.

Looking at the silver brochures of the boiling pot taxes from various counties received by the Yizhou Prefectural Office, Cao Yong roughly counted. Although there were many boiling pots, if you just look at the amount of taxes, it would not look like a large scale, but what is the truth?

For some reason, the words "private visit" appeared in his mind. Because the boiling pot registered with this booklet cannot digest the local food.

In just half a month, the price of grain in Yizhou has increased by 50%. Now, it still has the intention of continuing to rise. Cao Yong remembered the mansion sent by Jinan two days ago and murmured: "This is a prosperous era. If you have a prosperous era, you will never add a tax!"

Cao Yong was thinking about the consequences of the lack of grain in Yizhou. Although he did not listen to any cases in various places, there must be many people who were kidnapped and sought food like the Du family, otherwise the grain prices would not have risen so quickly.

As he was thinking, he saw Mr. Zhuang step in quickly with excitement on his face: "Furuo, find out clearly. The largest roasting pot near Yizhou is in Daxing Town, Tancheng County, guarding the northward Guan Road. If what was expected is good, even if they have nothing to do with the Du family, they should be able to find something along them!"

Cao Yong nodded: "Sir, since the account books in the official warehouse are all full, let's see if it's because of the boiling pot. Who makes us have no right to check the official warehouse!"

Mr. Zhuang looked a little heavy and asked seriously: "It seems that Wang Lusheng is a kind-hearted person. I trust Ruo, can we hold back on this matter?"

Cao Yong smiled and said, "Stand up? Sir, it's too early to talk about this now? Daxing Town, why don't we go over and see it in person tomorrow! Otherwise, we can only think about it if we are here all day!"

Mr. Zhuang sighed and said, "That's true. If the price of grain continues like this, I'm afraid that the people will have no rice to put them in the pot! At that time, the trouble will start and will not give Furuo any choice! He still blames me for not being familiar with the details of the local area, so he will let you solve this shortage!"

Cao Yong looked at Mr. Zhuang and laughed silently: "Sir, isn't this an official just to deal with all kinds of troubles? If there is nothing, then why does this place set up a yamen? Even if you don't come to Shandong and go to Shanxi and Zhili, there will be some things like this. Will I still have to rely on Mr. Zhuang at that time?" Speaking of this, I deliberately frowned and looked at Mr. Zhuang, a little sad.

He said: "Sir, are you looking down on me? Could it be that in the heart of Mr. I am just a worm who is just eating and waiting to die, and I am useless!"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhuang waved his hand quickly: "There is no such intention, no such intention!" After that, he saw Cao Yong looking at him with a smile and couldn't help but shake his head.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the study was much more soothing and no longer as heavy as before.

The two discussed a few more words and decided to go to Daxing Town tomorrow. It was more than 70 miles away from Yizhou. If you want to travel back and forth on that day, you have to set off early. If you don’t come back that day, the mansion here will have to explain carefully.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Yong and Mr. Zhuang went back to the yard.

In the inner courtyard, Chu Yu was sitting in a daze. When he saw Cao Yong coming in, he stood up to greet him. Seeing that her eyes were red, Cao Yong thought about the news he had received before, and asked, "Why have you cried? The girl Jing is leaving?"

"Yeah!" Chu Yu replied: "It was her grandmother who sent someone to pick her up. She didn't want to go back when she saw her, but she was worried about her grandmother's side!"

Regarding the matter of Dong E Jinghui, Cao Yong not only sent letters to the old lady Jueluo of Dong E Mansion in the capital, but also sent letters to Jiangning to Cao Yin.

Cao Yin's intention was to let Dong Ejinghui's grandmother decide. After all, it was related to Dong Ejinghui's lifelong affairs, so the Cao family should not interfere. It would be better to avoid being left behind, and not being a person inside or outside. Even if the Li family is not, they are relatives after all, and they should take into account their dignity.

Cao Yong knew that Chu Yu and Dong Ejinghui were quite in love, so he comforted him: "It's just a short time to part. It's not that we'll never see each other again. We'll be able to see each other again after two years!"

Chu Yu was a little worried: "I don't know how Jinghui's sister will go back after this incident? Chu Yu looked at her, her temperament was not as soft as she looked. If she was wronged in the future, it would be really distressing!"

"Isn't her grandmother still there? You have seen that old lady, she is very sensible, so she will naturally not let her granddaughter suffer a loss!" Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu was a little curious: "Have Chu Yu met?"
