Chapter 323 Brother-in-law

When Cao Hua and his wife got off the boat, Chen Yu also got off the boat, took a lot of goods and went to the jewelry shop in the city with Su Xiangning.

The Shen family also has a business in Hangzhou, but it is just for the convenience of contact and is not large in scale. A distant relative stays here for many years.

Chen Yu loved money as his life. Even if he came here to visit, he would not forget his original intention. He took Cao Jian from Wanbaolou to make a big profit. These "cake Jian" were all things that Cao Hua had lost his name after Cao Hua was exposed. Chen Yu bought it at a low price and went to Jiangnan to earn the difference.

Seeing this, Cao Hua sent a team of black feather guards to help, took Zhao Fei over, and went to the royal palace together.

Three hundred soldiers had already cleared the roads on the harbor, standing neatly on the shore.

The housekeeper of the royal mansion stood in front, with several carriages behind him. The princess, who was nearly forty years, took Prince Kang's prince Zhao Huai, and waited quietly behind the carriage bead curtain.

Cao Hua went to Jiangnan, and after all, the prince consort accompanied the princess back to her parents' home.

The ordinary prince-consort, just like the Queen Mother's birthday party, could only sit in the corner to eat and drink at the table in front of the Zhao clan. Although Cao Hua was not an ordinary prince-consort, the highest was a marquis who held real power. It was different from the vassal kings, so it was impossible for King Kang to come out to greet him.

The princess and the prince were able to come, which was already enough to give him enough face. However, in name, the princesses Zhao Tianluo and Zhao Fei came over, and he also pulled the prince-consort. The difference between the primary and the secondary was very clear.

After getting off the boat, Cao Hua naturally became a foil. Luoer and Zhao Fei walked side by side and went forward to greet the princess. He stood behind him and said politely, "See the princess, meet the princess." Naturally, "Mother-in-law, brother-in-law" could not be called, just like going out. Even if it was a couple, Cao Hua could only call Luoer "Princess" instead of "Madam".

The princess was born in a famous family in Jiangnan and felt very distressed about Zhao Tianluo. She asked her food, clothing, housing and transportation in Bianjing to see if the itinerary was stable and she cared about meticulously. Zhao Fei was the princess of Zhao, so the princess was naturally very caring. However, she had little to say to Cao Hua, the son-in-law. After a few polite greetings, she left Cao Hua aside and asked him to greet the prince Zhao Hua.

Zhao Huai is the younger brother of Zhao Tianluo's mother and compatriots. He is one year younger than Zhao Tianluo, and his personality is obviously not as mature as Zhao Tianluo.

Zhao Huai obviously had a little prejudice against the "Cao Thief" who had never seen only heard of. What kind of feeling was that "the elder sister who was as talented as a flower and jade was chewed by a notorious bandit, and his younger brother was unable to protect his sister.

Sitting in the carriage and returning to the palace, Zhao Huai, dressed in a gorgeous dress, held a teacup in a decent manner, and talked in a slight manner:

"I heard that Prince Cao had the courage to be inappropriate, and I thought it was a burly man who was 'eight feet tall and eight feet waist' in the rumor, but I didn't expect it to be so thin and handsome."

The large carriage is filled with incense, and the carved beams and jade are all gorgeous. It is much more luxurious than Cao Hua's white horse carving car. The imperial family's style is undoubtedly revealed.

Cao Hua sat opposite him, because of etiquette, and sat in a pretty straight posture. He chuckled when he heard this:

"The prince joked, 'height of eight feet tall and eight feet tall' is just an exaggeration from the people of the world. If a person grows like that, wouldn't he become a door panel?"

There are many rumors about Cao Hua's appearance. The "eight-foot giant man" is quite tactful, and there are no fewer people with "green face, fangs, three heads and six arms". After all, Cao Hua is the head of the Intelligence Bureau, even the officials of Kyoto stay away from him. There are not many people who have seen him.

After Zhao Huai made some polite words, he suddenly raised the pearl curtain and took a look. Seeing that the princess's frame was far away, he turned back and asked curiously:

"Mr. Cao, I heard that you were in Xuzhou, holding a long spear, "White Wolf Xiao Yue", and fighting alone for three days and three nights, and then picked the "Golden Sword Qi Hu", "Overb Spike Zhang Jin", "Scar-faced Yan Luo Yan Hanqing" and then left. Is it true or false."

"Of course it's fake." Cao Hua shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Huai breathed a sigh of relief, held the teacup and nodded: "I'll just say that those storytellers can brag...."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Cao Hua continue to say, "That gun is not called 'White Wolf Xiaoyue', it is just a long spear with a white wax rod, and its quality is OK."

Zhao Huai was stunned and frowned slightly:

"That one sword goes straight into one dragon and fights three tigers?"

“Those are true.”

Cao Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip: "But it took a few breaths in total. Wouldn't it be exhausted to death for three days and three nights?"

“…”

Zhao Huai sat upright, his face full of disbelief.

However, looking at Cao Hua's expression, it didn't seem like he was bragging. Zhao Huai hesitated a little:

"Monkey King Cao, which is better than Bi Chun's martial arts?"

"Who is Bi Chun?"

"It is the escort commander who followed my sister to the capital."

"Those four vases..... Well... I must be better off, I have never compared it."

After all, Zhao Huai was young and had not yet lost his youthful aura. Luo Li asked a lot of questions, all about martial arts. This is also related to the reason why King Kang attached importance to the army. Luo Er knew the establishment of the Song army well, which was also the reason.

Cao Hua was quite helpless and could not drive his brother-in-law out with a cold look, so he could only respond with questions and answers.

Zhao Huai asked for a long time, but still didn't believe that Cao Hua's martial arts skills were so high that he could beat three. Then he clenched his fists and said:

"Mr. Cao, I have practiced fist and foot skills since I was a child, so why don't we have a chance to talk about it."

"hehe..."

Cao Hua took a breath, thought for a while, and then patted the table lightly.

Bang—

A drop of water splashed from the teacup and flicked it gently. The water droplets shot out like sharp arrows, hitting the lanterns in a restaurant outside the carriage. The hanging string broke and the lantern fell on the street.

Zhao Huai's fist clenched his fists and looked back for a long time before taking a breath and sitting back, breaking the topic:

"Well... I heard that Mr. Cao has a reputation as a 'talented and talented', and all the masterpieces such as "Shuituo Songtou" come from your hands. The talented man in Jiangnan has long heard of Mr. Cao. Since he has come here, how can he not show his face? In a few days, the Yichun Tower on the shore of Xizi Lake will be held..."

"Your Highness the Prince!"

Cao Hua raised his hand to stop Zhao Huai, and it was a little helpless. Just like the Minglou in Tokyo, the Yichunlou on the banks of Xizi Lake in Hangzhou was also a very famous occasion. On the way he came, he naturally knew this. He didn't expect that his brother-in-law was so enthusiastic, and he was about to take him to prostitution as soon as he came.

"This time I accompanied the princess to visit King Kang, I'm afraid it's not good to go to the brothel to hang out in the brothel."

Zhao Huai smiled, rubbed his fingers and hesitated for a long time, but still expressed his true purpose:

"I heard that Prince Cao and Li Shishi met?"

"Meet." Cao Hua nodded.

Zhao Huai immediately showed some enthusiasm and said, "Li Shishi came to Jiangnan two months ago and traveled around. After a few days, he arrived in Hangzhou. It was rumored that Li Shishi was overwhelming Tokyo. I have heard of it, so I want to ask Prince Cao to recommend one or two."

Cao Hua would not care about the movements of a brothel woman, and only then did he know that Li Shishi had arrived in Jiangnan. He frowned at this time:

"I think it's easy for His Royal Highness to meet a brothel girl?"

Zhao Huai waved his hand quickly: "It would be abrupt for the beauty to suppress others with power. I have set a seat in Yichun Tower, but I haven't figured out how to invite Li Shishi up at that time."

Unexpectedly, he was not old and was still a sensual master. Cao Hua thought about it and since he had been in Hangzhou, it was reasonable to meet him, so he nodded slightly.

Zhao Huai was obviously a little happy and instructed: "Mr. Cao, don't tell your father and mother about this, nor do you tell your sister. Just let us know, I will keep it confidential for you."

Cao Hua was speechless...

--------

The Hujie Army drove the road through the streets and alleys in Hangzhou City, and many people stood on the stone bridge inside the railing to check. King Kang and the princess had a very good reputation. The people were respectful but fearless. Many scholars were still bowing their heads on the side of the road. If the princess saw it, they would occasionally raise their hands to show their support.

The team walked past a stone bridge, and a small pleasure boat was parked on the river below.

The pleasure boat has been here for some time now, and there is only one singer in total. He has a bad temper, which has led to no business for many years. After closing the door for a few months, the pleasure boat has opened again recently, but it is still not deserted.

At this time, on the pleasure boat, a singer dressed in gorgeous clothes was frowning and covering the awning with her hands, looking at the team passing by on the street.

It is very common for nobles from the royal family to go out, and the singers don’t care too much about it.

Just as the breeze blew, the bead curtain of a carriage was slightly lifted, and the back of a man in white came into view. The distance was very close, and even the sound of talking could be vaguely heard.

The singer was startled, stared at her beautiful eyes and felt incredible, and hurried back to the pleasure boat. After waiting for the team to pass, she ran out again and held the bamboo pole to shake the pleasure boat out of the city.
