Chapter 414 Xiaoyi

Haidian, Caoyuan, Jingchunzhai.

This is the northwest corner of Caojiayuanzi, a small courtyard facing the water. There are three northern rooms, two bright and one dark, and two east-west rooms. Several green peach plants were planted in the yard, and the branches were already full of prosperity and quietly bearing fruit.

This is Cao Song's residence in the garden, and he chose himself.

Because it was close to water and was as horizontal as a mirror, the courtyard was originally called Jingchunzhai. After Cao Song came over, he took a look at this place and changed the name to "Jingchunzhai". Only he knew the deep meaning in his heart.

Because Cao Song and his brothers lived here, several civil and military masters Cao Yong hired also came here to teach them to prepare for the exam.

Cao Song followed his two younger brothers to learn strategy and argument with Master. After a while, he practiced footwork in the school field for a short time, which made him sweat and return to the garden.

Jade dragon, jade cicada, and jade firefly all followed the garden to serve. Because there was no jade spider, there was one less maid. Zhao Jia chose another maid to make up, named Yumo, who was fifteen years old, with an ordinary appearance and looked very decent.

Yu Chan and Yu Ying are both twenty years old this year, and they are at the age of being released. The two of them were originally hoping to release them and find a safe marriage. They also asked the servants in the mansion, Sui Zhong, and looked at the two who liked them. However, because Zhao Jia did not pay attention and forgot to release them, the matter was delayed.

Although Yu Chan and Yu Ying were anxious, they also knew the rules. There was no reason why the girl said this. Therefore, they had to wait. They thought that they would have a filial piety in August. The second master said he was married and before and after grandma entered the door, they also decided to re-arrange personnel.

Although their cousins ​​were dissatisfied with Yu Zhu, they were still very sad when they were guarding the same yard for five or six years.

The remaining Yulong, who was fed the medicine, was also implicated by the Yuspider and ruined his face. The two of them had to pray that their future second grandmother would be a kind person. Otherwise, if there was no room for a good girl like Yulong who could not give birth to a child and looked ugly, wouldn't she have a foothold?

When Cao Song came back from outside, the jade cicada and jade fireflies and the jade moths were lit incense in the upper room and catching small insects, but the jade dragonfly was not there.

When Cao Song came back, everyone was holding the water, handing the handkerchief, and serving him to change his clothes and wash.

After Cao Song finished changing his clothes, he drank two large cups of warm tea before he could quench his thirst. Yu Chan stepped forward and asked, "Second Master, should I pass on the meal now, or wait a moment?"

Cao Song waved his hand and said, "Let's just spread this, I'm a little hungry." When he said this, he looked around and didn't see the jade dragon. He said, "Why is the jade dragon? Why didn't he see it? He stayed in her room again?"

Yulong's life is much lighter. Although Zhao Jia also told people to make rules when she was just a little bit too good, maybe she didn't like the scars on her face, so she didn't let her go again after two days.

After Yulong arrived here, he never left the garden. Except for Cao Song who came here to serve him, cats rarely appeared in front of others at other times in his own room.

Seeing Cao Song asking about Yuqiong, Yuchan said with some concern: "I have seen her indifference these days. I asked her, it seemed that it was hot, and her...the wounds on her face were itchy and she couldn't sleep well at night..."

After hearing this, Cao Song looked embarrassed and said, "Go and see her. Ask someone to tell the kitchen that you should not put soy sauce in your dishes today, and don't put your dishes in your dishes later..."

Yuchan responded, Cao Song stroked his face and picked the curtain out.

Yuqiong lived in the east wing. Cao Song walked to the door and wanted to knock on the door. He put his hand down at the door and gently pushed the door in.

Yulong sat on the small mat, leaning beside the kang, with a pair of needles and threads placed on the kang next to it, with half-embedded pomegranate flowers on it.

Perhaps because he heard the movement, Yuqiong slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was Cao Song, but he had not reacted for a while.

Cao Song took two steps forward and frowned and said, "Since you are sleepy, just rest on the kang. Sit and sleep like this, and you will be tired!"

Yuqing woke up and stood up with a smile and said, "I was thinking about finishing this job, but I couldn't help but turn it over."

Seeing that Cao Song had already changed his clothes, Yuqiong said, "Second Master finished washing, have you used some food? I will wait for you to have a meal!"

Cao Song turned around and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Come here quickly, let's have a meal together today!"

Yuqing was about to say that it was not in line with the rules, but Cao Song had already pushed the door out.

Looking at Cao Song's back, Yuqing reached out to touch the scar on his face, looking sad.

After a while, the kitchen had already sent people to deliver food, and Yuqiong also packed it up.

Cao Song pulled her to sit, stuffed the chopsticks into her hand, and said, "Start today, I am staring at you, and you don't have two taels of meat on you! No matter whether it suits your appetite or not, you always have to eat. I can't see you being sick and ill. The master is not picky about food. If you want to eat, just ask people to go down the kitchen under the name of my master!"

"This... the second master... I... I..." Yuqing wanted to get up to serve, but was stopped by Cao Song and said, "What are you trying to do? I'm hungry, so hurry up and have a meal. While it's still dawn, I'll take you to visit the garden."

Seeing Cao Song insisting on it, Yuqing did not get up again and nodded gently.

Cao Song then smiled a little, and he grabbed a chicken leg into the Yulong bowl and said, "We each one, each one, these are all pheasants sent by Changping Zhuangzi. They taste so good!"

Yuqiong looked at the dishes in front of him with a faint color, and felt a little hungry after taking a bite of the chicken leg.

Seeing that Yulong had eaten, Cao Song picked up one of them, and was about to send it to his mouth when he saw Yuying step in and said, "Second Master, I'm sending a message in the front yard. The old man sent someone to find Er Master, and he has been waiting outside the second gate."

"Brother asked someone to look for me?" Cao Song was a little surprised. Because he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to delay. He quickly put down his chicken legs and said to Yuqiong: "You eat first to avoid the cold food. Go ahead and take a look!"

"Yeah!" Yuqing stood up and responded, sending Cao Song out of the house.

Because Cao Song's yard was at the innermost part of the garden and was not close, Cao Song trotted all the way and went out the second door.

Outside the second gate, Xiaoman, Cao Yong's close servant, was standing. Xiaoman looked up at the sky while looking at the second gate. Seeing Cao Song coming out, he hurried forward and said, "Oh, Er Master, you are out, come out quickly, follow Xiaodi, you can't enter the city if you are late!" As he said that, he had already sent someone to lead Cao Song's horse.

"Why back to the city, what's wrong with brother? It's still my sister-in-law..." Cao Song saw Xiaoman so anxious, and asked hurriedly.

After hearing this, Xiaoman shook his head and said, "It's okay for the old man and the eldest grandma. Second Master, don't think about twisting it. The young man is worried that we won't be able to enter the city." At this point, he paused, and a little bit of a ghost smile appeared on his face, and said, "Second Master, it's the cousin of Dong E's family...."

Xiaoman has always followed Cao Yong. When Cao Song talked to his brother about Jinghui, he did not avoid him, so he knew Cao Song’s thoughts.

When Cao Yong ordered Cao Fang to send people to deliver letters everywhere, he specifically mentioned that Xiaoman came to find Cao Song because he was afraid that others would not be able to explain it clearly.

When Cao Song heard the words "Dong E's cousin" and was already stunned.

At this time, someone had already come and replied, saying that the horse was ready. Seeing Cao Song still standing still, Xiaoman hurriedly said, "Oh, good second master, don't be stunned, so as to avoid not being able to enter the city gate and delay. I can just talk about whether I can see you tomorrow!"

"The ugly girl is here? When did she come in our mansion? What are you here for?" Cao Song woke up and pulled Xiaoman's arm, asking endlessly.

This matter cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences. Xiaoman smiled and said, "Second Master, don't be anxious, let's go back first. There are some kung fu on this journey that I can talk about slowly with the Second Master!"

At this time, Cao Song was already home and stepped out of the garden. The sky was getting darker, and if he wanted to enter the city at the gate of the city, he would not have to rush.

"Go, go!" Cao Song turned over his horse, threw his whip, and galloped towards the capital...

When Wu Sheng heard that Cao Song was going back to the city, he followed him out and wanted to ask how the second wife would explain it. In a blink of an eye, there was only smoke and dust left in front of him.

*

West of the city, Cao Mansion.

When Cao Yong returned from the Infantry General Office, it was already setting sun and colorful clouds were everywhere. Longkodo came back from Changchun Garden and brought Kangxi's handwriting instructions, and had already handed over Jueluo to the Ministry of Justice.

It was inconvenient for Cao Yong to follow him, so he sent Cao Fang to follow him and handled the upper and lower levels first. Because he felt that Luo was a clan daughter and an imperial decree, this was a case that Kangxi ordered to personally examine, and there must be no one to make things difficult for the old man.

Although it has only been a few hours since I stopped the car from Gandu to the Jueluo Infantry Office knocking on the yard, there have been rumors in the market.

Mr. Zhuang happened to be angry today and went to the teahouse outside. It happened to be heard. If it was just a matter of the Gali family, he was just a joke. But after listening, there was something involved in it, so Mr. Zhuang was a little worried and hurried back to the house.

As a result, when someone asked someone to find out, it was Cao Yong. Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but frown. He left a message from the doorman and asked Cao Yong to come back and look for him in the study.

Therefore, after Cao Yong entered the mansion, he did not enter the inner house first, so he came to the study directly.

After entering the study room, seeing Mr. Zhuang's face full of deep expression, Cao Yong rubbed his forehead and said, "I guess I have heard of this. I really didn't expect Gali to do this. Old lady...oh..."

Thinking of the gray-haired appearance of Jue Luo, Cao Yong was left with only sighing. After this lawsuit, even if Gali, the poisoned wife, did not end well, Jue Luo didn't know how sad it should be.

Seeing that Cao Yong was thinking about how Luo was, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny, and said, "You don't have to worry about the old man. Since you are a case of a crime, you will have to arrange someone to make a judgment. But if you are a self-confidence, why are you involved in these uncontrollable things?"

Seeing that Mr. Zhuang was criticized in his words, Cao Yong still defended himself: "Isn't this just right? I know this is a family matter for Dong E's mansion, and outsiders should not get involved."

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "If Fu knew, he should know that he had avoided something. Even if he wanted to send Mrs. Dong E to the Infantry Division, you don't have to go there in person. He was wearing an official uniform. The Mrs. Zhu is already an old man in his seventies and had a quarrel with his son. He would be fine if he knew the details. He knew that the old lady was stubborn, and he thought that you were secretly instigating him. Although Gali was a dead end, there were still people from Dong E's family. In addition to the Dong E family, there were also Prince Yu's mansion."

I got up in the middle of the night today. Cao Yong ran outside for a day and had not eaten yet, so he was tired and tired.

Although he knew that Mr. Zhuang's words were for his own good, Cao Yong had no choice but to smile and said with a wry smile: "Sir, you didn't see the miserable scene of the old lady. If the argument was fine, it would be poisoned. No matter what dissatisfaction, it would not be like this for the old man who is over 80 years old."

Mr. Zhuang was shocked when he heard this. He had heard in a teahouse before, but he knew that the wife of Dong E's family was going to sue the emperor, and his children and grandchildren all knelt on the street, but they didn't stop him.

When Gali was dismissed from office two years ago, Kangxi mentioned "what is his mother" in his decree. Therefore, in the four nine cities, when talking about Gali, the former governor of Liangjiang who was dismissed, many people knew that his future was defeated by his mother.

"Poison?" Mr. Zhuang also became angry and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Even if the mother and son get along, they should still remember the word "filial piety"!"

Cao Yong said, "Maybe it was because of the entanglement of dismissal from office two years ago that I had a grudge in my heart. Today, I was also a coincidence. The gentleman did not see the urgency at that time. The son of Kali and the headmaster followed him and had already robbed people in the street. Someone saw it and was injustice, and they almost beaten to death by them. I was so unscrupulous that I still couldn't understand. When I heard Kali admit the poisoning incident in person, I knew why they had to intercept the old lady back."
