Chapter 202 Encounter

"Retreat?" When there were only two fathers and sons left, Cao Yong realized the purpose of Li Xu coming to Jiangning. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Father, the Dong E family is not the only one. Now his parents' house is attacking the throne, and other branches are attacking the throne. Many people are there. Many generations of people have married the royal family. It is too inappropriate for this uncle to deal with it like this!"

Cao Yin sighed and said, "You even know this. Would your uncle know it? He saw that Gali was making a big fuss in Jiangnan and he was cold for half a year by Master Wansui for half a year. He was unsure and didn't want to have any connection!"

"This... there is no room for change?" Cao Yongyou was not giving up and continued to ask.

Cao Yin smiled bitterly and said, "Without any room for anything, can you still stand by and watch for your father? But your uncle was not listening to others' advice, and he went to the Governor's Office first to come to our side. Even if he is persuaded to go to the Governor's Office to take back his previous words, will Kali still allow him to repeat it?"

*

In the Governor's Mansion, inner hall.

Gali and his brother Seleqi sat at the bottom, each with embarrassing expressions than the other, only looking at the legitimate mother Jueluo sitting in the main seat.

Jueluo's face was full of anger, his face turned pale, and he pointed his finger at his two concubines and couldn't speak. Seeing that his grandmother was so angry that his father couldn't speak, he wanted to go to his grandmother to express his feelings.

Gan was closer, so he took two steps forward before Gantai, brought the tea and respectfully presented it to Jueluo, and comforted him: "Grandma, please calm down. That Li family's villain is so repetitive, it's really not worth being so angry when you are old!"

Jueluo waved his hand and knocked over the teacup in Gandu and said angrily: "You don't need to show your kindness. Don't you know what my old woman knows? If you hadn't given you the idea, how could you have made such a family for your sister?! Although your third uncle and aunt went there early, I am still here, so I can't tolerate you to be a sacrificing Huier!"

I was so bored that I didn't dare to dust the water stains on my body. I just lowered my head and retreated with regret.

Jueluo looked at Gali and said annoyedly: "What's the reason for the Li family? Since you have already had a marriage contract, how can you say quit? Although you are not Huier's Ama, you are her uncle, so you can't treat her like this casually! I've said that you are so hard to refer to a decent marriage through the talent show! You said you can't bear to leave this niece and want to marry her to Jiangnan, so you asked me to ask for the order to exempt you from the election! Now, what do you say?"

Seeing his mother scolding him in public, Gali felt a little unhappy and said impatiently: "My mother, don't worry, this son has his own cooking. Even if the Li family doesn't come to quit the marriage, his son will quit. At the beginning, it was just a joke, so why don't you take it seriously! Huier is only fourteen this year, and next year's general election is a good time. The seventeenth prince and several princes of the royal family have no legitimate wife yet! Even if the legitimate wife is hopeless, the legitimate wife can never escape. Nothing is better than giving the Li family to the Baoyi Li family!"

Jue Luo shouted in anger: "What are you talking about!! You are joking?! You are so sorry for saying it! You are joking about marriage, but how can Huier be a human being? You are so embarrassed to mention talent shows? What is it about you being a royal family? How can the royal family allow you to repeat it like this?!"

She paused and her voice rose a little further: "What do you say to you now? You don't know if you are an old woman. Now you are holding this unscrupulous plan! Even if Huier pointed to a palace and the story about Jiangnan has been passed, do you still want her to survive? You are trying to force her to death..." She became more and more angry as she spoke, and her voice became higher and higher. When she said this, she couldn't lift it up in one breath and fainted.

This scared everyone, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the doctor, and then helped the old lady into the room. The inner hall of the Governor's Mansion was in chaos.

*

Because of Li Xu's arrival, Zhuang Chang did not return to the Weaver Mansion. Although there was nothing to avoid when the guest and host were together, since he had retired, he was impatient to deal with these official exchanges again, so he remained at Qingliang Temple for the time being.

Li Xu originally wanted to return to Suzhou the next day, but because Gao Taijun insisted on going back with him, he stayed in Jiangning for another day. Li took his daughter-in-law Chu Yu and began to take care of gifts to the Li family, and even Gao Taijun prepared a lot.

Cao Yong was still thinking about whether he could convince Li Xu to change his mind, but then he asked Li Xu to come back without any hesitation. The old guy said with a smile: "Ying'er is promising, and now he can also give advice to his uncle! But this is a family matter after all, and Li Xu will listen to the teachings of the princess and princess next time!"

What else could Cao Yong say about his attitude? Even if Cao Yin saw his son being ridiculed so much, he was a little annoyed and even more unwilling to care about his family's affairs.

Cao Yong remembered that the Li family was confiscated after Yongzheng came to power. He calculated the days. It was more than ten years since they had nothing at the moment. He knew that they had nothing to do now, so he was impatient to worry about him again, so as to avoid being "frivolous and arrogant, disrespectful to elders" hats. He was really wronged.

I wanted to take Chu Yu out for a walk, but because Chu Yu wanted to accompany Li, Cao Yong walked out of the mansion by himself and happened to see Cao Song coming out of the Western Mansion.

When Cao Song saw his brother, he was very happy and immediately stepped forward: "Brother, where are you going?" He was also bored. He came back for several days and was taught a lesson by Zhao Jia every day. The reason was to get a house in the room. This time, because he was in a hurry on the road, Madam Zhang did not come back with him. However, Zhao Jia had received news as early as last year and knew that his son had taken a maid in Beijing to get a house in the room.

When Zhao Jia married Cao Quan, Cao Quan had two houses in his house, and he felt very uncomfortable. Later, he asked Yuzi to send them out. After suffering this, she was unwilling to sting her future daughter-in-law, so she disciplined her sons strictly. Originally, although this eldest son was a little reckless, he was well-behaved with the maids and wives at home and did not look lustful at all. She was still very proud and contented. Unexpectedly, she took out the house after two months of entering Beijing.

At first, Zhao Jia wanted to blame Cao Yong, thinking whether his son followed his brother and was like this. As a result, he found out in the letter that Cao Yong had no relatives except for a serious marriage daughter-in-law, and concubines were all living with each other.

Although he didn't talk about the younger generations of children when he was Taoist, Zhao Jia still felt that he had lost a lot and felt very uncomfortable. He talked to Cao Songnian for several days and asked him to write a letter to immediately send the maid in the capital.

Cao Song was so speechless that he asked the servant to pretend that his brother called him, deceived Zhao Jia and slipped out, and happened to meet Cao Yong and came out.

When Cao Yong saw Cao Song, he smiled and said, "I feel so tired that I come out for a walk. Where are the second brother going?"

Cao Song raised his eyebrows and smiled a little ambiguously: "Brother, why don't we go to the Qinhuai River to go for a walk?" After saying that, he felt a little regretful and shook his head quickly: "Inappropriate, inappropriate. I am a person with a sister-in-law, how can I go to that kind of place?"

When Cao Yong heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Seeing what the child said, if he didn't know, he would think he was a regular visitor to the entertainment venue.

Xiaoman, who was following Cao Yong, also felt uncomfortable and said, "Second Master, this is so unfair. Our master is a serious person. When did you want to go there?"

Wei Heize smiled and said, "Second Young Master, if there is something interesting, you should call Lao Hei!"

Cao Song first glanced at Xiaoman: "Don't pretend to be a master. You boy Mao is not Zhang Quan yet, and you have no trouble with the little maids? This is what I think I am not a serious person!" Then he waved his hand at Wei Hei: "Brother Wei, it's not easy to mess with you in the future, so that my sister-in-law won't like us in the future!"

Xiaoman and Wei Hei laughed with one sentence. Cao Yong thought for a while and said to Cao Song: "If it's okay, let's go to Qingliang Mountain. Mr. Zhuang's brother is in Qingliang Temple! Go and invite him some peace, so you can go and have a good chat."

Cao Yong was very idle, so naturally he had no objection, so he came to Qingliang Temple.

It was also a coincidence that Mr. Zhuang went out to visit a friend. Cao Yong asked about the young monk Zhiran again, but was told that he had been going out to beg for alms since June. He heard that he was now placing orders in a temple in Huainan and did not come back to Jiangning.

Everyone came with excitement and returned with regret. But the weather was not good, and it started to rain when it went down the mountain. Although the rain was not heavy, the rain fell on the body in the twelfth lunar month made people feel cold all over the body. Everyone then strangled the reins of the horse and took shelter from a big tree next to the mountain gate, thinking that the rain would be less and then go home.

Not far apart, there were two carriages and a few of them, which seemed to be sheltering from the rain. Speaking of which, they arrived first. Looking at their clothes, they were all very glamorous, like the arrogant servants of wealthy families.

It was cold and the horses were uncomfortable. The horse Xiaoman was riding sniffed and pulled a soaked horse manure on the ground.

Cao Yong and the others are all men. Although they think it smells a little bad, they don’t care about these.

The arrogant servants not far away were a little unhappy. Seeing that Cao Yong and his friends were just wearing ordinary clothes and there were few servants following him, they didn't care about it. They didn't have the eyesight. They looked decent, but they were just servants of merchant families. How could they have seen truly wealthy people? Even if the clothes and materials worn by Cao Yong and Cao Song were not seen on the market. I guess in their eyes, they were not as decent as the new jackets on their bodies. I think they were used to being arrogant, otherwise they wouldn't dare to be arrogant.

I don't know what he said to the people in the car, but a manager looked like he raised his head and waved to Cao Yong and the others.

Cao Yong and Cao Song both felt strange. After looking at the man for a while, they didn't understand what it meant, so they naturally ignored it. In addition to Wei Hei and Xiaoman, Cao Song's servant Mo Shu also looked at it and said to Cao Song in a low voice: "Master, I'll go and take a look?"

Cao Song snorted: "What are you looking at? Don't pay attention to it."

The manager was a little impatient and shouted, "What are you looking at? You are calling you!" As he said that, he pointed to the horse manure on the ground: "Check it up quickly, so as not to get rid of my lady!"

Cao Song was bored. When he saw Youlizi coming to the door, he laughed twice: "Hey, your lady is so precious. Why haven't you heard of it? When did Qingliang Mountain become your backyard?"

The manager was choked and turned and said angrily: "You kid, are you looking for death? Let's see how you teach you a lesson!" As he said that, he called other servants and came to Cao Yong and the others.

I heard that there was a female family sitting in the carriage of the other party. Cao Yong didn't want to argue with him, but when he saw that the manager was rude to Cao Song, he was now getting more and more arrogant. He was displeased and scolded: "Who are you from? You don't understand the rules so much?"

The manager wanted to say something, but saw a corner of the carriage curtain behind him slightly lifting, and a tender voice came from: "Yang Fa, don't be rude!"

Everyone looked at the carriage, and as they spoke, a young woman in a silver cloak came down. Although she was not old, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but looking at her hair and clothes, she was indeed dressed in a married dress. She saw that her dark hair was not messy, her pink and tender face was drawn with eyebrows and eyes, and her makeup was extremely exquisite.

She held a little maid's man out of the car, then looked over with a smile, and finally her eyes fell on Cao Yong, and leaned over: "I have seen the eldest son!"

Cao Yong was slightly stunned, feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.

Cao Song and Wei Hei were both experienced people. Look at the little woman's eyes that wanted to stick to Cao Yong, and just thought it was the romantic debt he left behind, and whispered to him.

Even the young woman's servant looked at Cao Yong and felt a little suspicious. Cao Yong was amused. If he really caused a romantic debt, Cao Song would be fine. How could he hide it from Wei Hei?

Seeing Cao Yong not responding, the little woman frowned slightly, tears rolled in her eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Have the eldest son actually forgotten his old friend?"

Cao Yong sighed in his heart. Apart from his sisters and relatives, he has not seen many women, and he has seen them in Jiangning. If this person is a different person, he is afraid that he will not remember who he is for a while. However, who is the one with such behavior, except for the half-sister of the Zheng family, the granddaughter and daughter-in-law of the Bai family, Yang Shi Ruixue?

Cao Yong was not a person who was calculating with the woman, otherwise he would not have deliberately explained in Zhenbaozhai because he was afraid of the misunderstanding of the shopkeeper. Therefore, he just nodded and said, "I didn't know whether to call "Miss Yang" or "Grandma Bai" for a while, I was a little negligent!"

When Yang Ruixue heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were curled, and her face immediately became flushed. Speaking of which, she had only met Cao Yong once. Although she had thoughts in her heart, she didn't think that Cao Yong really remembered herself. She was just because of her own suffering. Although she married her cousin, she was a playboy and did not take her heart. Now, her father is sick again, and her mother is also coaxed by the Bai family. She doesn't care much about her daughter.

Yang Ruixue took two steps forward and said, "Young Master and Ruixue are originally young people, why should they be so polite?" Speaking of this, she thought for a while and said with a smile: "If it comes to my sister, Ruixue is also the young master's girl!"

When Cao Yong saw her coming forward, he wanted to get off the horse and socialize for a few words. After hearing what she said later, when he saw her looking at her with charming eyes, his body suddenly became cold.

He looked at Yang Ruixue and said, "It is related to Miss Zheng's reputation, and Grandma Bai still needs to be cautious!"

Yang Ruixue was stunned when she heard this, her eyes couldn't say whether she was happy or upset. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something else. However, Cao Yong clasped his fists and said that he would take the lead. Before she could react, the group had already rode away.

Wei Hei and Cao Song had no association with the terms "Miss Yang" and "Grandma Bai Bai", but when they heard Cao Yong's last sentence, it was related to Miss Zheng, so they were naturally from the Yang family in the perfect place, so they didn't have any affection for her.

Cao Song muttered, "How come he looks like a good woman with heavy makeup? When dressing up like this, should he burn incense and worship Buddha, or should he hook up with monks?"

When Wei Hei heard him speak harshly, he smiled and said, "The second young master shouldn't have said this. He has no choice but to ruin the monks of Qingliang Temple!"

When Cao Yong heard the two of them talking funny, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Where are you so unbearable? Leave some verbal virtues, why bother with the wife!"

Cao Song curled his lips and stopped saying a word. Wei Hei whispered: "Young Master, look at her thinking about you, you seem to have some thoughts. Should we be more careful?"

When Cao Song heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and was stared at by Cao Yong. Cao Yong looked at Wei Hei and said helplessly: "Brother Wei, this is a serious statement. What can she, a little girl, plot against me? But we happened to meet her today. We will go north in a few days. Where will we meet her again?"

Wei Hei thought, that's true, this is a problem developed by the capital and he is too careful to prevent anyone.

Although the rain is lighter, it is gray due to the cloudy day.

When he was about to enter the city, Cao Song found that not far from the roadside, he seemed to be curled up, and hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse: "Brother, Brother Wei, it seems that there is someone lying there!" As he said that, he rode his horse over to check.

Cao Yong and Wei Hei also rode over there, but what about it? They were wearing blue cloth jackets and dressed in servants, with blood on their faces.

Cao Song was shocked: "Die!"
