Jin Mingchi's small accident was harmless. The bandits fled in panic. The nobles who came out to visit the palace did not see it at all. However, the Black Feather Guard was obviously in vain and was criticized by the emperor again.

Xue Jiuquan beat Bao Daoyi to death with twelve punches. He was very happy at the time, but it was obviously also damaged and he was bedridden when he returned.

I am old and weak, and I can’t count the hidden diseases left by the wounds of the world for life. After lying down like this, it may be difficult for me to stand up again.

After Cao Hua returned to the city to handle the matter, he went to the yard where Xue Jiuquan lived in the inner city to take a look.

The yard is not big, it was the place where Xue Jiuquan had just arrived in Bianjing before he was clean. He had not lived in it for many years. Even if he had a good protection, it was difficult to cover up the old house.

Because he couldn't afford to stand up and could not serve the emperor, Xue Jiuquan had already claimed leave from the palace. Everyone knew that this time he left the palace, the "Night Emperor" had abdicated.

Xue Jiuquan was very open-minded. A eunuch was in power and was extremely capable. He forced a generation of people in the Green Forest of the World with his own strength. No one could kill him with his own hands until his death. He was already content.

However, people inevitably have some thoughts when it is dusk. When Cao Hua saw him, the old man Chuimu who was leaning on the sickbed was actually holding the soles of his shoes.

A pair of children's soles, very delicate and beautiful.

The light was not good, the little eunuch held the candlestick, Xue Jiuquan was holding the needle and thread in his hand, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his male duck's voice was lingering:

"Huazi, when you brought you back, you were three years old and you were wearing such big shoes... You jumped all day long and had to change a pair of shoes for half a month... There is nothing you can leave for you for your father, make a few pairs of boots for your grandchildren to wear in the future... Well... the granddaughter also has to make two pairs to avoid the time being, saying that I am biased as a grandfather... It's a pity that I can't see..."

I cough occasionally, but my expression was very calm.

Cao Hua sat on the stool beside the bed, silent for a long time, and only responded softly: "The adoptive father was at ease to recuperate, don't say these unlucky ones."

"hehe..."

Xue Jiuquan shook his head and looked at the soles of the fine needle and thread: "Han'er girl is stupid and has another stubbornness. When I leave, you have to think about her more."

"Don't worry, adoptive father."

.....

--------

Cao Hua chatted with her for a while and told Xue Jiuquan to take a good rest, then left the yard.

Walking outside the wall of Wu'an Mansion, thinking about things, suddenly, I saw the bushes outside the back door coming from beside me, and the two girls leaned over and chattered.

There was a woman squatting on the ground next to her. Because she squatted on the ground, her skirt was so tight that it showed a beautiful curve. In terms of scale, it was even worse than the little woman-like Jing Liu, and she showed a bit of the youthfulness of her little daughter.

"Madam, you don't look like a young master, but more like Brother Jing, the guardian."

"Yutang, don't talk nonsense. Brother Jing has a square head and the young master has a melon-shaped face. He can be separated at a glance."

"Young master is so strong, and when you look at it, your neck is thicker than your waist..."

Cao Hua was quite funny. After looking carefully, he found that Zhao Tianluo was wearing a furry fur fur and squatting on the ground to build a snowman.

There is not too much snow in Jiangnan, so I guess I am bored at home and run out to have some fun.

"Ahem..."

A light cough sounded.

Yutang shivered, turned around and showed a cute smiling face, while Luzhu stood up properly.

However, Zhao Tianluo, when he heard the familiar voice, hurriedly pushed off the snowman husband on the ground, rubbed the corpse with his hand, and then stood up pretending to be calm, posing as a princess, and turned around and glanced:

"Mr.

He walked up to him and pinched the two little girls' faces, muttering about the young master's punishment behind his back.

Yutang had long been silly and laughed, but Luzhu was only pulled by her hand, and it was the first time she pinched her face. She was stunned on the spot, blushing and purple, and secretly glanced at her wife.

Strictly speaking, pinching his face is a skin-friendly relationship, but after all, he is my husband's wife, so Zhao Tianluo couldn't say anything, so he just turned his head and pretended that he didn't see it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she looked to the side, her little face was pinched by her warm fingers.

The skin is like cream and feels silky.

Zhao Tianluo turned around in surprise: "My husband, what are you doing-woo-"

Before he finished speaking annoyed words, Cao Hua pinched her cheeks and pulled her face into a roundness, and spoke vaguely.

Zhao Tianluo was stunned, his eyes widened like a lantern.

"puff--"

Xiao Yutang laughed out loud, then hurriedly covered his mouth, looking at the confused wife with her eyebrows and eyes.

Cao Hua pinched his warm little face, rubbed it again, and then let go of his hand: "Go back to the house, look, you're frozen and your face turned red."

After a moment, Zhao Tianluo reacted and ran to the front with his skirt angrily, his face flushed: "You...How could you...you can't be in front of the maid..." He has been hugged several times these days, but it was always when there was no one around, and it was open and frivolous, but this was the first time.

Cao Hua didn't care and walked in the corridor of the back house: "Then let's find a place where there is no one."

"I..."

Zhao Tianluo suddenly became timid. After thinking for a long time, he just said: "My father-in-law is busy with official duties, so he should have more rest when he gets home."

Cao Hua was quite funny and came to the warm room with the lively Xiaoyutang and the dull gourd Luzhu, ready to relax and have fun.

Zhao Fei has returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion. Because of the matter under the table, I must be embarrassed to come over in a short period of time. The table is full of her own family.

Cao Hua played with him twice. It was normal at the beginning, but there was a problem later.

Luo Er is a novice and is not very good at it. He pretends to be calm and stares at the mahjong in front of him. He does not win once a day without Han'er being a military advisor.

Cao Hua couldn't stand it, so he used the reflection in her eyes to peek at the cards and fed a few cards.

Then Luo'er was a little happy, and Luzhu became a sucker. She held her flat purse and lowered her head and was so depressed that she didn't dare to get up.

He fed Luzhu a few more cards, and then...

After a few rounds, he became a sucker. He could not get all the cards even after he was able to get it all.

However, the room was full of joy.

Madam Cui, standing behind, was full of admiration and said to herself: The Marquis is indeed not a mortal. Her skill in serving people is more perfect than that of her servants...

The orioles are singing and singing, chirping.

While Cao Hua was paying money, Han'er hurriedly ran into the house.

Han'er was wearing a winter outfit, and her face turned red with cold weather. She stood at the door with white mist and said softly:

"Young Master, something happened."

The room suddenly became quiet and everyone was silent.

"What's wrong?" Cao Hua frowned. It must be no trivial to make Han'er so nervous.

Could it be that the emperor has passed away? It's impossible...

Han'er did not avoid it and said in a deep voice: "Xu Chengjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was arrested by the arrestee yesterday. He found papers written about the rebellion in his home and had been detained in the custody of the lieutenant."

Cao Hua frowned slightly when he heard this. He was found and caught by the yamen. The case was naturally managed by the yamen. Hei Yuwei could not interfere unless the yamen could not handle it. It was originally a trivial thing that he didn't want to do, but Dian Kuisi went to investigate Xu Chengjian once, but he went there himself.

"And then?"

Han'er hesitated: "Xu Chengjian confessed in the hall, and the manager asked the young master to come over and listen."

They are all judicial institutions of the government. It is normal for the people of the yamen to provide evidence in the past. The dozens of officials in the department do this job.

Zhao Tianluo was a little confused: "Why should I ask my husband to come over for a seventh-ranked censor?"

Han'er didn't say anything, and she didn't know the details of the matter.

Cao Hua raised his hand and signaled, then stood up and went to the Manager's Office.
