Chapter 49: Arrival

Chapter 49: Arrival

Xicheng, at the gate of Cao Mansion.

Several large carts were scattered along the wall along the gate, and Cao Zhong and Cao Fang were instructing people to carry things from the car. Cao Fang, how did Cao Fang arrive in the capital? Cao Yong was a little surprised.

Seeing Cao Yong come back, Cao Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, hurry up and enter the yard, madam is here!"

After hearing this, Cao Yong quickly turned over and got off the horse. He didn't bother to talk to Cao Fang and walked into the middle. Although he did not deliberately write to his letters in his home in advance, nor did he think of hiding Cao Yin's eyes and ears, he really didn't want Li to know about it, and he didn't want her to worry about it. His mother is the person who loves him the most in the world.

After entering the main hall of the front yard, he did not see Li. He asked the maid and the mother-in-law. Only then did Cao Yong find out that Li had gone to the side yard where he lived.

When I walked into the yard, there were two people at the door who looked familiar with their bodies and looked very familiar with each other. They were dressed as Hui Xin and Anxiang who had served Cao Yong for several years.

"The uncle is back, I wish you goodbye!" Huixin and Anxiang bent down and saluted.

"Hui Xin, An Xiang, are you here with your mother?" Cao Yong asked.

"Is Yong'er back?" Li heard Cao Yong's voice in the room and left the door. Amethyst followed behind, with tears on his face.

The mother and son have not seen each other for a month and a half, but Li's temples have white hair and thin and haggard face, which cannot hide the fatigue of the journey. Cao Yong felt guilty in his heart. It seems that Li was worried because of the news that he was seriously ill. Amethyst, could he be implicated and scolded?

"Ying'er!" The moment he saw Cao Yong, Li's eyes immediately turned red.

"The child has seen his mother!" Cao Yong bowed his head and said.

Li took his son's arm and looked at Cao Yong up and down. Seeing that there was a scar about half an inch on Cao Yong's brow, he knew that it must have been left behind by the beating, and tears couldn't stop flowing down: "My son!"

Cao Yong looked at his mother's eyes falling on his face, reached out to touch the scar, and comforted him: "Mother, don't worry, the imperial physician said, the scar will fade in two or three months, and it will not be seen in two years. Amethyst will be applied to medicine sooner or later, but I am concerned."

Li took Cao Yong and sat down in the small hall: "Although our family is an ordinary family, you have been half a finger since you landed. Now you have just arrived in Beijing and have been bullied like this. How can you continue like this?"

"Mother is just a quarrel among young people. How can we talk about bullying or not? My mother has been in a good condition in the past two years, so how can she afford to travel thousands of miles? This is not to make her son even more worried!" Cao Yong thought of the hard work of Li's journey, and he couldn't help but worry.

Li wiped his tears with a veil: "Not to mention Qianli, for his children, what's the point of thousands or tens of thousands of miles? If it weren't for the fact that our mansion could not be separated from it, I really want to stay in the capital to take care of you."

"Are my father and my third sister okay?" Cao Yong couldn't help but miss his life in Jiangning.

Li nodded: "I know about you, your father didn't say anything, so he must be anxious. He didn't sleep well for several nights. Yi'er also cried so hard that she wanted to go to Beijing with me to see you, but there must be someone in the mansion there to take care of her."

When Cao Yong heard this, he felt warm in his heart. This is his family, who cares about his family all the time. In order for these families to avoid illness and pain and family search, what is the point of rolling his eyes in the capital?

Cao Yong has two advantages: he is more studious, and he respects the elders. Therefore, he humbly accepted Zhuang Xi's criticism, and carefully reviewed his unduly hard work in his studies, and expressed his willingness to work hard under the guidance of his teacher. It was still applicable to deal with the teacher in his previous life.

Seeing that Cao Yong was submissive, Zhuang Xi nodded with satisfaction. He had heard that Cao Yin, the legitimate son, was raised by his grandmother since childhood. He was afraid that he would have the arrogance and rudeness of his family, but now it seems that he is worried too much.

Zhuang Xi showed off his identity and gave him a few lessons. Cao Yong did a serious look on his face, regardless of whether he heard it or not.

The study room was messy, Zhuang Xi looked a little uncomfortable, and waved his hand and said, "You can talk to Lingtang first, and we will talk later!"

Cao Yong responded and saw that there were some wrinkles on the clothes of the village. Although he was very energetic, his face was still a little tired. After riding a boat for more than ten days, it was inevitable that the journey would be exhausted: "Sir, I asked the servant to bring water over, take a shower, relieve the fatigue. I will arrange for the kitchen to prepare wine and food to welcome the gentleman!"

In this era, people do not live as long as they do in later generations. After fifty years, they can call themselves "old" and are considered old people.

Even though the little old man Zhuang Xi has a strange personality, he traveled thousands of miles for Cao Yong.

After leaving the Rongyuan Courtyard, Cao Fang was already waiting behind the courtyard.

Cao Fang, the second son of Cao Fu, the eldest son of the Cao family in Jiangning, was once the eldest son of Cao Yong, who was responsible for picking up and dropping off Cao Yong from school. Later, because of Cao Yong's kidnapped, he was punished to work as a servant. When Cao Yong was ten years old, he asked Cao Fang to be the shopkeeper.

Two years ago, the Ninth Prince sent someone to Jiangning to poach Lin Xiazhai and Lin Xiazhai closed it down. Cao Yong suggested to Cao Yin that Cao Fang would be a manager in the Cao family's tea business. Cao Fang's son Xiaoman is now working with Cao Yong.

Cao Fang was both grateful and convinced to his little master, and politely said, "The story of the uncle was passed on to Jiangning, but it scared his servants to death. It seems that it is a great deal now, and it is a blessing!"

"Ping An sent my mother and Mr. Zhuang to Beijing, I'm sorry!" Cao Yong smiled and helped, "You can use these empty gifts, how is the business in the tea shop? Why did my father use you to come out?"

"Originally, the father of the slave wanted to come by his brother, but he was worried about the uncle and took the initiative to come. It happened that the tea merchants in Beijing had several places to collect money." Cao Fang said.
