Chapter 482 The New Year's Eve
Chapter 482 “New Year’s Ceremony”
Cao Mansion, side hall.
After hearing Cao Fang and Zhao Tong's reply, Cao Yong knew that someone had bribed the "insider" and wanted to add arsenic to the snacks, and his face was very deep.
Han Jiang is a businessman with limited vision.
If it is a real dispute over interests, if you put croton powder in it and cannot find it out, the effect will be obvious. How could an ordinary businessman dare to use arsenic directly and not take human life seriously?
You should know that the word "official" is two-word, and as long as you pass through the yamen, the merchant family will have the possibility of losing everything. Wasn't Li Wei's business a lawsuit?
Those businessmen are all avoiding lawsuits, let alone suing them with family members of the Cao family for generations. That is not the act of hitting stones with eggs or fools.
Besides, if you trade in the industry, you will know that behind Daoxiang Village there is a royal mansion and the Earl Mansion, it is not easy to offend. Otherwise, you would not have been able to wait until this time.
If Han Jiang had really made mistakes and didn't notice that the material was poisoned, the snack would be sold...
Thinking of this, Cao Yong couldn't help but sweat.
He thought for a while and asked Cao Fang: "Whose business is that Fengrunzhai? What does the guy use to connect with that side? Although he is not easy to be accused of the officials, he cannot be so confused. He must always figure out the enemy. You go to find the two brothers Ren Shuyong and think of a way to match the confession of the two places. We cannot wrongly accuse anyone of them just by just one side! We cannot be in vain for fear of fear."
Cao Fang heard what Cao Yong said, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle, if someone really comes to our mansion, should he report back to the master first?"
Cao Yong looked at Cao Fang and did not react for a moment.
Cao Fang hurriedly said, "Uncle, the capital is not as good as Jiangning, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. The young man always feels that the other party has used such an inappropriate method, and is afraid that we will move. Do more mistakes, do less mistakes, and do less mistakes. Now the master has just arrived in the capital. If things get bigger, I am afraid that it will involve the master."
Cao Yong couldn't help but wake up after hearing this.
If you do too much secret matter, you lose patience and think about solving the problem directly. The stingy conspiracy is always passive to fight back every time, but next time you are still forced to the corner.
You should learn the way of plotting with your father and think about how to make arrangements. Being defensive and attacking is the right way.
I also neglected one thing, that is, Cao Fang and Wei Hei are different.
Wei Hei was given the will of his master and stayed with Cao Yong for protection. Logically speaking, after Cao Yong grew up safely, Wei Hei fulfilled his promise to his master and could leave.
I continued to stay in the Cao family because of their relationship for many years, and I was not considered a servant of the Cao family.
Although Cao Fang has been with Cao Yong for many years, he is loyal to the Cao family, not the young master Cao Yong.
It cannot be said that he is unfaithful, but there are some things that are not easy for Cao Fang to take charge of.

Prince Jian’s mansion, study room.
Yaer Jiang'a looked at the man kneeling on the ground and frowned and asked, "Why are you in contact with the Cao family? What's the origin of the Baoer who ran away with the silver? If someone who doesn't believe it, he will not take care of the account and take over the shop."
After hearing this, the man on the ground gave himself a big ear and said, "It's all the slaves who are so lard that they are so heartbroken. He is the cousin of the third concubine of the slave. Although he has some minor problems on weekdays, he is also very careful in business. Seeing that he still has to use it, the slaves asked him to be the shopkeeper of Fengrunzhai."
Yaerjiang A was impatient to listen to these business matters, waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? I'm going to say something important, I don't have time to listen to your teeth grinding."
The man quickly kowtowed and said, "Yes, master. That's the case. Bao Er had been stumbling with the slave a few times before, saying that the business in Daoxiang Village is good, should he dig a few masters over?
I am a servant who works by my side and knows that our mansion has some friendship with Cao's mansion, and it is also the property of the eldest princess of the Chunwang Mansion, which is not as good as an ordinary small household.
The slave scolded him twice, allowing him to make a living with peace of mind. He wanted a master, and also asked people to cut down at other shops or asked people to go south.
This morning, Daoxiang Village was wrong. It did not open the door in the morning as usual, but it only opened at noon. I sold some rice cakes. Their shopkeepers and the Cao family's manager all went to Daoxiang Village.
Bao Er was not right, so he kept wandering the streets and strolling in front of Daoxiang Village, not knowing what to look at.
After I got the news, I felt something was wrong. As a result, someone around the shop asked for the news, and the boy Bao Er even ran away.
I asked a few guys to inquire about it and they all said that Bao Er had made a fortune recently and had shown off to several guys these days, saying that it was won by the casino, and said that he had a lot of luck recently and wanted to win again.
The servant knew that kid’s gambling products, and he always remembered them to the end, and there was no time to win.
Although I don’t know what the kid has sucked or what he has messed with, I dare not hide it, so I reported to the master to see what the rules of the matter is. If I don’t lose my face, the slave will be punished and die.”
When Yaerjiang A heard this, his face turned pale.
No matter who is plotted on his head, he will not feel happy. Thinking of who made the yin like this, his eyes were a little cold.
Grandma's, tigers don't show their power, is they treating people as sick cats?
"If you don't get out of here, who will you show me?" He drooped his face and scolded the man on the ground, "You are blind. You can't control your belt if you even cut your bullshit women? I remember, didn't the concubine just give you a girl as a concubine two years ago? Why did you put away the three rooms again?"
The man on the ground is Fushun, who is the nanny brother of Yaerjiang A. He is the most loyal. If someone else has changed to someone else, if something happens like this, he will only hide it from it. How can anyone take the initiative to scold him?
Fu Shun stood up on the ground and replied in a low voice: "Don't I hope for my son? I gave birth to four girls in a row, and I hoped that I could serve my little master in the future, right? I started to argue with people and was scolded as a family. I really couldn't raise my head."
When Yaer Jiang A saw his cowardly appearance, he cursed and said, "Look at you like a bear, what is this woman rare? If you want to give birth, just buy three or five girls and put them in the house, make some good medicine, and work hard. Next year, I will prepare red envelopes for your son."
"Thank you, Master Ji Yan, I will do my best to live up to my master's teachings." Fu Shun heard this, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times.
After talking, Yaerjiang A closed the smile on his face and said, "Cao Yong is a good person and will not make a vengeance with him for nothing. I asked someone to go to Daoxiang Village to find out what happened? The dog slave had to cut the croton into his shop or arsenic. You have to find out clearly. If the other party hides it, you can brighten the sign of our palace and let them pass on the message to Cao Yong for an idea. Let's see how he deals with it?"
"Yeah!" Fu followed suit, and was about to tell Yaerjiang A that a few days were my mother's 70th birthday. He invited his master to enjoy his face and drink when he heard footsteps coming from outside. Then someone said, "Is my cousin in the house?"
After hearing this voice, Yaer Jiang'a showed a smile on her face and said, "Nemin, why are you doing with your sister-in-law and naughtyly?"
"Hehe... my cousin was wronged. He was not naughty, he came with his cousin's sister-in-law." With the crisp voice of his speech, a twelve and three-year-old girl with round faces followed the successor Wanyan Yongjia into the study, followed by the maid with breasts, holding a two- and three-year-old girl in her breasts.
This round-faced girl is the "Nemin" mentioned by Yaerjiang A. She is the daughter of Yaerjiang A's uncle Zuoling Cai Fu. Her surname is Xilin Jueluo. Because she lost her biological mother in her early years, she hid in the royal palace.
Next year is the year of a talent show, and Cai Fu also hopes to borrow the light of the royal palace, so he hopes that his daughter will stay here to learn the rules and get to know the nobles in the palace. Fortunately, the royal family is referring to a decent marriage.
Fushun had already retreated to the side and bowed, saying, "I have met Fu Jin, Miss Cousin, and Sixth Princess."
Yongjia nodded and returned the gift, Fushun bowed to Yaerjiang A and retreated.
"Ama!" The little girl in her breasts saw Yaerjiang Ah, and looked happy and stretched out her hand to hug her.
Yaerjiang Ah had a mediocre relationship with the successor, but he was extremely fond of this legitimate daughter. Therefore, he took two steps forward, took his daughter over, and asked with a smile: "Zhener has changed into new clothes. Are you going to follow her mother to her grandma's house?"
Zhen'er nodded vigorously, smiled and looked back at her mother, then looked at Nemin, turned around and touched Yaer Jiang's beard, and said coquettishly: "Ama, Ama, Auntie, too, grandma has delicious buns at home."
After hearing this, Yaer Jiang A smiled at Yongjia and Nemin and said, "I can't blame this little guy for fiddling with grandma's house two days ago. I remember the delicious food here." After that, he said to Yongjia, "I'm going back tomorrow?"
Yongjia nodded and said, "Well, it seems that it is the Little New Year. There are many social engagements in the first month of the year at the end of the year, and I don't know when I will have time. I have prepared some New Year's goods here, so I can take Zhen'er back and talk to Ama's mother."
Looking at Yongjia's deserted appearance, Yaer Jiang A felt strange in his heart and said, "How is your father-in-law's body? It's not a big deal for Shanyu to be outside the capital. Why don't I send someone to say hello to the Ministry of War and say he's transferred to the capital?"
It seemed to be a bit pleasing in the conversation.
It was rare to see him take the initiative to show his kindness, and Yongjia was still a little uncomfortable. However, due to the elder brother, she still felt a little worried in her heart and leaned over and said, "Since that's the case, I'll bother the prince."
Neminyuan listened, and saw that the couple looked respectful to each other, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled.
Although Yaerjiang A and her were cousins, their eldest daughter was older than her and only treated her as her daughter. Seeing her jokingly, she said, "Why are you laughing at? Isn't want to leave the house tomorrow?"
After hearing this, Nemin was not afraid of him. He hugged Yongjia's arm and smiled, "My cousin will not let him go, so Min'er begged her to be the one who loves Min'er the most!"
Zhen'er was in Yaerjiang Ahuailai, scratching his face with his little hands and said, "Auntie is ashamed, you know how to act coquettishly with your mother."
Yaer Jiang A looked at her daughter's cute appearance and felt that she was full of bad luck and laughed twice.
Zhen'er giggled, Nemin laughed, and Yongjia lowered her eyelids and picked the corners of her mouth.
Is this the so-called blessing? Why is it like a show that makes people feel lively but can't feel warm in their hearts...

Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Nearsu and Seshtu both need to worry about it, they both have a good alcohol tolerance, and Seshtuin has changed tea with filial piety; Cao Yong has experienced Sun Jue's wine, and he really dare not be flattering.
After all, he is the eldest son-in-law of the Cao family, and it depends on Cao Ying's face. If there is an unpleasant situation, everyone will not look good.
Cao Yong was at the table and paid attention to Sun Jue. He really wanted to snatch his wine cup and let him drink a few less sips.
Because of the happy days, Cao Yin and Neer Su were very interested, and Sun Jue accompanied him one cup after another.
When Cao Yong saw this, he had to come forward to persuade everyone to drink a few less drinks. Even if Sun Jue had nothing, Cao Yin was old after all, and he had been hangovers one after another in the past two days. Cao Yong was worried that drinking alcohol would hurt his body.
Everyone drank slowly, and they chatted while eating, and they ate until this time.
Back at the inner house, Cao Yong first went to Lanyuan to see his parents.
Because his daughter and niece were back, Li was also happy. After eating a few cups, his face was a little drunk.
When Cao Yong entered the house, Cao Yin leaned on the kang with a towel on his head. Li was asking about the placement of his breasts and grandchildren.
Seeing his son coming in, Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I heard from your father that your two brother-in-law can drink it. Are you drunk? I have already made people make wine soup and sent it to your room."
Cao Yong glanced at his father, shook his head, and said, "My son is not drunk, is my father okay?"
Cao Yin just squinted his eyes and did not sleep. When he heard his son’s questioning, he opened his eyes and said, “I’m not drunk. You’ve been exhausted these two days. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest first!”
"Yes!" Cao Yong responded, nodded to his mother, and left the house.
