Cao Mansion, at the door.

The Wei brothers came back with a few long men and two carriages. The blue tweed in front looked higher; the blue tweed in the back was smaller than the front.

The carriage stopped, and two women got out of the carriage behind, and walked to the carriage in front to serve: "Fangcha, vanilla, wait for the girl to get off the car!"

Someone inside responded, lifted the curtain of the carriage with a pair of jade hands, and first came down a girl wearing a rouge vest and oval face. It was Fangcha, the maid next to Cao Yi. Wei Bai looked at it and felt secretly happy. It was worthwhile that he had specially asked for the errand to escort the lady to incense today, and saw her twice.

Fangcha noticed someone staring at her, thinking about some guy who didn't understand the rules. Looking along the line, it was the middle-aged and rough man with a beard, looking at him in a daze. He wanted to curse, but he knew that he was a person who could use it around the old man. He had no choice but to endure it and rolled his eyes hard.

Wei Bai was fascinated by the roll of eyes and felt extremely comfortable all over, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wei Hei had heard of his younger brother's thoughts, but now he saw that he couldn't get on the table so much, so he shook his head and thought in his heart whether he should take his brother out to play at night. Women's houses, they all look the same when the lights are turned off. Even if this tea is better, it's not just two breasts...

Just as she was thinking about it, another maid came down behind Fangcha. She was not tall and petite, and she always lowered her head. After getting off the car, she took the bench off the edge of the car and placed it on the ground, and then said softly: "Girl, get off the car!"

Wei Hei thought about this girl coming out in the morning, she lowered her head to avoid seeing people. She seemed to be the vanilla who was loyal to protecting her master. It was the first time that Vanilla had been out of the house for a month and a half after entering Beijing.

An old woman lifted the curtain of the car, Cao Yi got up and went out. Because she was holding a small white jade-lifting hand stove in her hand, it was a little inconvenient, so she handed the stove to Fangcha beside her and got off the car with her vanilla's hand.

Fangcha was angry at the rude middle-aged man's rudeness and took it carelessly. As a result, his hand slipped and he didn't hold it firmly. The hand stove fell to the ground and fell into half. The silver carbon that had not yet burned out inside was scattered.

Cao Yi's face turned pale, frowned and said nothing, and took the two old women into the mansion first.

Before Fangcha could wake up, Vanilla had already bent down and picked up the white jade fragments on the ground while saying to Fangcha: "You should do your best, you have to waste anything. You don't know that this is what the old man is afraid of the girl's cold hands, so he specially found. It is the girl's beloved thing!"

Fangcha naturally knew that the hand stove was found by Cao Yong to worry about it. He was a little timid because of the trouble. After hearing the words of Xiangcao, he felt aggrieved and said in a crying voice: "Which one was intentional? Why did it all become mine? I can't compare to your loyalty and righteousness. Could it be that I am the one who murdered the master?" The more I said, the more aggrieved, the more tears fell: "When Aunt Zhang made a fuss, I was making osmanthus soup for the girl in the kitchen, so it was not in front of me. When I could wait for the letter and rushed over, it was the same scene! If I were there, could I still hide behind the girl? Nowadays, it would be fine, why bother to step on me to compare? For one day or two days, why am I a sinner?"

The vanilla was already quiet, but unexpectedly, a sentence led to Fangcha's remarks. He didn't know whether to advise her not to cry, or to advise her not to say such private words in public first.

Seeing Fangcha's disobedience, Wei Hei looked at everyone, frowned and took two steps forward, and said firmly: "Two girls should be careful and come into the mansion quickly!"

Since Fangcha entered Beijing, she has always been trembling and dared not act recklessly. Even the man who just now could only endure the peeping. The man in front of her looked similar to the man just now. It seemed that he was a brother and brother. She was immediately embarrassed and upset, and she didn't care about that. She pointed at Wei Hei and scolded loudly: "What are you? You are a slave, so what if you take care of me? Even if the uncle values ​​you, what if I have a master in the girl's room, I have my own master to discipline me!"

Before Wei Hei spoke, someone there snorted coldly, "What are you? I don't believe it. Apart from the third sister, others can't discipline you? Come on, find two women for me. This girl doesn't understand the rules, so she is making trouble at the door of the mansion, and first make thirty bans for her to make things happen!"

However, Cao Song arrived and rode on the horse and looked at Fangcha with a cold face. Although his eyes were a little scary, his face was blue and red, and there was still some blood on the corners of his mouth. He looked really not majestic.

Wei Bai was originally a little bit of that kind of thing when he heard Fang Cha's grievance; when he saw her offending her brother, he had no smile on his face. The elder brother was a father and a younger brother and sister-in-law talked to his uncle like this. Therefore, when he heard Cao Song ask someone to beat her for thirty, he felt a little distressed, but he did not plead. However, looking at Cao Song's face, he was shocked: "Oh, my second son, what's going on?"

Cao Song turned over and dismounted, rubbed his sleeves on his face, and said happily: "I haven't felt much more happy until this month and a half when I entered Beijing!"

Being bullied? It doesn't look like it. The servants following behind were proud, not like they suffered losses. Wei Bai swept everyone around and smiled at Cao Song, "It turns out that the second young master is exercising his muscles today!"

Cao Song had a little more silly smile on his face: "Isn't that true? Brother Wei's second guess is right!"

Everyone surrounded Cao Song and entered the mansion. Two mothers had been called out, took a bench and board, and dragged Fangcha to the expert law. Vanilla was so scared that her face turned pale, and her eyes were red and she whispered to Fangcha in a low voice: "Sister, beg for mercy quickly, I'll invite the girl to plead for you!"

Fangcha bit her lower lip tightly, and her face looked like she had never heard of it.

Vanilla had no choice but to come forward with courage and said, "Second Master, for our girl, forgive Fangcha for this experience, she would never dare to do it again!"

Seeing that the scars on Vancao's face were light and healed a lot, Cao Song was very happy for her. Seeing that she was talking too much, he waved his hand: "Vancao, don't worry about this. This slut just relied on staying in the old lady's yard for a few years and was so unaware of the rules. He should have taught her a lesson long ago!"

Vanilla wanted to persuade her again, but the women there were already swinging the boards and starting to fight.

Fangcha bit her lip tightly, her face was stubborn, and she stood up, but she still refused to beg for mercy.

Cao Song was already angry, and seeing that Fangcha was disobedient again, he felt even more annoyed and shouted: "Beat, beat me hard, let this slut know what the rules are, and beat her until she begs for mercy!"

Seeing that the situation was critical, Vanilla did not dare to delay it, so she hurried to the inner courtyard to move the savior.

Cao Mansion, Bamboo Courtyard, Donghunting Pavilion.

Zi Jing heard that Cao Yi came back from Buddha and came to talk to her. Cao Yi changed into homely clothes and sat on a chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The girl is back?" Zijing entered the door with a smile: "I heard that the incense in Baita Temple is extremely popular, so I think it is different from ordinary temples."

"Sister Zijing!" Cao Yi stood up: "I have asked my sister to go with me for a long time! Even if there are more trivial matters in the mansion, I can't stay at home. I always have to go out for some breath."

Mei Jing smiled and said, "My personality is not unaware of it. She is the one who is most impatient to go out and hides from a distance!"

Cao Yi asked Zijing to sit down and called the maid to serve tea. These were bought by Li when he was in Beijing, and the names were based on vanilla and Fangcha, namely Chunya, Xia Fu, Qiuxuan, and Dongzhi. In addition, there were two maids who were brought to the south, one was Xiaoqin and the other was Xiaoai.

Zi Jing knew that Cao Yi went to worship Buddha today, on the one hand, to go to Mrs. Jueluo’s appointment, and on the other hand, to take Vanilla out for a walk. After a month and a half of conditioning, the scars on Vanilla’s face faded a lot, but she still didn’t want to see people. This knot in her heart always needs to be untied.

"Where is Vanilla? Going back to your room again?" Amethyst asked without seeing Vanilla.

Cao Yi looked at the door and was a little surprised: "They were behind just now, and it's time to come back!"

Seeing that Cao Yi had a smile on his face, Zi Jing frowned slightly, as if he had something to worry about: "Girl, what's wrong?"

Cao Yi glanced at Apricot and replied with a little bit of blame: "Sister Apricot, the white jade hand stove sent by my brother has been broken in less than a month!"

Amethyst comforted: "What are you doing with a hand stove? Girl, please feel at ease. How can I care about these people?"

"Although my brother doesn't care, I feel sad!" Cao Yi's dim look: "At the beginning of the moon, didn't my sister let me read the account book in the mansion? The white jade hand stove was bought by my brother for 600 taels of silver. My brother has always been frugal, and I, the sister, have caused trouble for him!"

Mei Jing wanted to persuade her again, but she heard the vanilla's urgent voice coming from outside the house: "Girl, it's not good, save Fangcha!"

These mindless words made Cao Yi and Amethyst inexplicable. Vanilla ran in panting: "Girl, Sister Amethyst, go and save Fangcha! She is going to be beaten to death!"

"Where is Fangcha?" Cao Yi asked, "How could anyone beat her? What's going on?"

Amethyst's face also became a little uncomfortable: "Who is so messing around? Fangcha is around the girl. What's wrong? The girl disciplines her own way, so where is it someone else's turn!"

"It's the second master!" Vanilla cried and said, "Girl and Sister Amethyst, go to the front yard quickly. If you delay, the thirty boards will be finished!"

Cao Yi and Zi Jing initially thought that Fangcha had a dispute with other inner courtyard managers. They knew that Cao Song ordered the beating, and they panicked. Cao Song was not the one who cherished Xiang Yu. Apart from his own sisters, how could he treat other women well? Just like Yongjia and Baoya, it was for the sake of his brother and sister.

Sure enough, when Cao Yi and Amethyst arrived at the front yard, Fangcha had already been beaten thirty boards, and the man had fainted. His back and his thighs were blood red, and he looked dissatisfied.

Seeing Cao Yi and Zijing coming, Cao Song stood up, touched the back of his head, and said guiltily: "Three sisters, this Fangcha is really unreasonable. He cried and made a fuss at the door of the mansion, so I will teach my sister a lesson! I will ask my brother to buy two more good servings tomorrow, this Fangcha..." Speaking of this, I thought of the Wei brothers who had just avoided after entering the mansion: "This Fangcha is too old now, so let him be a wife for the second brother of Wei!"

Zijing frowned and Cao Yi complained: "Second brother, even if she is at fault, the punishment is too heavy!" He hurriedly ordered the woman to carry someone back to the room, and ordered her to leave the palace to hire a doctor.

*

Cao Yong got off school and just left Donghua Gate, he saw Yongqing and Ning Chun standing in a shaded place, holding a pergola in his hand and looking at the palace gate.

Cao Yong hurriedly smiled and greeted them, "Brother Shanyu, Brother Jingming, are you waiting for me?"

Ning Chun smiled and patted his arm, saying, "Isn't it just waiting for you! Let's go with us, send someone to tell me, stay outside today."

Cao Yong was stunned: "Brother Jingming is this..."

Yongqing laughed heartily: "Haha, Jing Ming is going to treat you sincerely. He came to me early in the morning and pulled me to block you. I should respond to him soon. Otherwise, he will be anxious and may not tie you up!"

Ning Chun waved his hand and said, "Don't say that Shanyu, you, are you, Xiao Cao, I'm not a match, so how can I tie him up? Xiao Cao, I really want to treat you, take you to a good place and have a few drinks." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, in the city, you won't miss your schoolwork tomorrow morning."

Cao Yong nodded, turned around and ordered Changsui to go back to inform Hui's house, and followed Yongqing Ningchun and rode his horse to the south of the city.

The three of them got off the horse in front of a family in Diaoer Hutong in the south of the city. Ning Chun's servant stepped forward and slapped the door.

A moment later, a wife came to answer the door. When she saw Ning Chun, she smiled in a clear southern accent, "Uncle Ning is here!" As she said that, she greeted the three of them and led them in.

Yongqing frowned and asked Ning Chun: "What is this place? Xiao Cao and I can't compare to you, but we have both been banned from official positions. If this is found out..." The implication was that this place was regarded as a secret prostitution. The Qing court's rules clearly prohibited officials from visiting prostitution. Although there were very few people who actually abide by it, if they were really caught by the censor and participated in the previous book, it would be speechless.
