Chapter 386: Entrust

The Saint's Carriage returned to Changchun Garden on the fifteenth day of February. Cao Yong returned to the yamen on the same day to finish his errands and returned home. There was already someone waiting in Cao's Mansion.

The visitor was Mr. Zhuang's friend for ages, Cheng Mengxing, a Shujishi of Hanlin Academy. Cao Yong had not seen him for a while. Therefore, when he heard that he was coming, he didn't bother to change his official uniform first and went to the living room to meet him.

Mr. Zhuang was accompanying him here, and the two were talking.

Seeing Cao Yong come in, Cheng Mengxing hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "I heard yesterday that the Holy Lord could return to the palace today, so I thought that Furuo should come back, but today is here!"

Cao Yong looked at Cheng Mengxing's leisurely and relaxed appearance and couldn't help but envy: "It's still Brother Wu Qiao who is proud and free. He is involved in writing and books all day long in the Hanlin Academy, saving worries and effort. I'm jealous!"

Cheng Mengxing shook his head, sighed, and said, "If it is wrong, this job is leisurely, but it may not be worry-free. Human resources are inseparable. The less serious you are, the more you have the ability to focus on fighting, which makes people feel annoyed."

Seeing him say this, Cao Yong suddenly remembered a sentence he heard in his previous life, "Holy gangsters are not scary, they are afraid that hooligans are educated."

Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are all serious professionals and the best among the top three subjects. These people start as Shujishi, then become editors, and stay in attendance and lecturer, and are promoted very quickly. They have been able to last for enough years and have been placed in the local area for several jobs, and then return to the capital to be the Six-Minist Hall officials.

Although they are more likely to be promoted than officials outside, if they want to climb up inside the Hanlin Academy, they will be assigned to people.

Cheng Mengxing is not as good as those poor men and is eager to make fame. He comes from a wealthy family and is famous. For him, the errands at the Hanlin Academy are just icing on the cake.

Since the two of them had met, Cao Yong was rude in his clothes to treat guests, so he asked Cheng Mengxing to sit down for a while and went to the inner courtyard to change his clothes.

In Wutong Garden, Chu Yu had already received the letter from Cao Yong back and was waiting. Cao Yong entered the house and looked at Chu Yu's belly. Because he was wearing loose clothes, he could not see it for the time being.

But Chu Yu looked a little plump than last month, with a smooth and rosy face, which looked very attractive.

Cao Yong changed his official uniform and asked Chu Yu: "There are most of the moon's mansion, but the second wife is still peaceful, right? Are everyone in each court well?"

Chu Yu nodded and smiled and said, "It's all good, but Wu'er was infected with the cold in the first month of the month. After coughing for a few days, he asked the imperial physician to prescribe a few doses of medicine, and it was all over."

Cao Yong looked at Chu Yu's jacket and said, "Although adults have changed their clothes, the children are still young, so we don't pay attention to these things. The saying "cover spring and cold in autumn" is the old man."

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I said that too, but the second wife is very concerned about the fourth sister and Wu'er now, saying that she would strictly discipline the rules as a child. She also discussed with me that she wanted Aunt Meng and Aunt Chang to be their two discipline nannies and start learning the rules. The fourth sister is fine, she is stronger; Wu'er is a little weak and catches a cold!"

Wu'er is four years old, and fourth sister is only five years old. What rules are such a young child? Cao Yong frowned slightly and asked, "Why did the second wife think of this? Is there really nothing wrong there recently?"

Chu Yu said, "Looking at the second wife, I'm quite busy, I've sent someone to look outside the Beijing area. I heard that I want to buy another small village."

Cao Yong nodded and said, "It's good to be busy with something, but Wu'er..." He was a little embarrassed when he said this.

Although Zhao Jia is here, it is not their turn to worry about brothers and sisters-in-law, but that little villain cannot resist tossing.

"Wu'er, if it really doesn't work, I'll tell you to go with the second wife!" Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu said: "Don't worry, my husband, I have privately ordered someone to add clothes to Wu'er. I don't know what I have to do with my body, and I won't wipe my second wife's face."

Because there were still customers in the front yard, Cao Yong didn't have much time to stay, so he said to Chu Yu: "Chen Mengxing is here, and later he will be ordered to go to the kitchen to prepare the table and have some food. I will keep him for wine in the evening. Not to mention our yard, it is the garden in Haidian, which was a lot of trouble last year. We always have to find an opportunity to thank him, and we are not always owed favors."

Chu Yu agreed, Cao Yong picked up the curtain and went out. Chu Yu sent it to the corridor, looked at Cao Yong's back and sighed.

Yes, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it anymore in the future!”

Mr. Zhuang said, "Fu Ruobai is thinking about it, this is probably more and more worthy of his heart!"

"Oh!" Cao Yong was a little surprised, and then thought of the reason and asked: "Could Brother Wu Qiao want to take this opportunity to retire?"

Cheng Mengxing nodded and said, "I had this intention, but I also came a few days ago when I received my letter from home. I knew that my mother was sick and wanted to go back to my hometown. I came here today and also meant to say goodbye. If the placement was made, Mengxing would leave Beijing and return to Yangzhou in a few days!"

After hearing what Cheng Mengxing said, Cao Yong was quite reluctant and said, "Filial piety is the best. Since this is the case, I cannot speak for you. There are not many people in the capital who can speak for you. When Brother Wu Qiao goes there, even fewer people can drink together in the future!"

Cheng Mengxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Furuo, I really can't hide it. Today, in addition to saying goodbye, Mengxing has something to entrust with him."

Seeing his look of wanting to speak but stopping, Cao Yong glanced at Mr. Zhuang, and saw that Mr. Zhuang was confused.

Although he was thinking about finding an opportunity to repay Cheng Mengxing, he didn't know what the other party asked, so he couldn't respond randomly. Otherwise, if he couldn't do it, wouldn't he break his promise and become fat.

"If Brother Wu Qiao needs me, please tell me clearly. If I can accept it, I will have nothing to say." After thinking for a while, Cao Yong said.

Cheng Mengxing smiled bitterly: "I have a niece who is Furuo's fellow villager, and Furuo also knows it. After she got her sister's ashes last year, she went south to arrange a burial. Because she was forced by her clan members, she went to Beijing again before the first month of the year, and fled to me.

Her mother went there early, and I should be the one who I am the uncle to take care of her. She was a strong-willed person and did not want to re-built the property in the capital. I advised her a few times, but she was paranoid and seemed to be determined after eating the weight.

Now, I have finished my job at the Hanlin Academy and returned to Nanshiji, but I am worried about this niece. She is still young and has already fulfilled her filial piety for her for three years. I originally wanted to find someone to be a good person for her, but she is unwilling to rely on others. Look, I really have no one to ask for, so I can only be honest and have to take care of her." At the end, I stood up and said solemnly.

The niece he said was Han Jiang. When Cao Yong heard that she had returned to Jiangning camp to be buried before the New Year, he felt heavy when he thought of Wenxiu. It seemed that he would find an opportunity to ask Han Jiang's Wenxiu's cemetery. When he returned to Jiangning, he would also like to go to pay tribute to a glass of water and wine.

Although the woman was pitiful during her lifetime, someone was also concerned about her after her death. In addition to Cao Yong himself, there was also the little girl Wuen whom she raised.

Although Xiao Wuen only asked once, every time he saw Cao Yong, he would look a little bit of praying and inquiring. Wenxiu's ashes were kept at her. She had thought about guarding Wenxiu's tomb for Wenxiu, and she knew that Wenxiu had found his relatives, so she extinguished her thoughts. However, she still wanted to ask clearly about Wenxiu's burial.

Not to mention Cheng Mengxing's solemn entrusting with each other, even for Wenxiu's love, Cao Yong was willing to take care of Han Jiang.

However, the capital is full of fish and dragons, and there are many powerful people. It is not easy for a woman to do business. Besides, she has had several dealings with Han Jiang, and Cao Yong also has a little understanding of her personality. Although she is a very self-respecting woman, she is a little unrestrained in her behavior.

Although it is right to be very careful at the negotiating table when it comes to business, the merchants at this time are all supported by the powerful and powerful.

Han Jiang is in Jiangning and is mostly based on old friends. Because she is an orphanage widow, even if she wants to seize her property, she is very concerned about the Cheng family for the sake of the Cheng family.

In the capital, the mansion of the prince who was short of money was gone. It would be fine if the little fish Han Jiang did not make money, and it would not be eye-catching; if he made money, he would be regarded as a fat man. At that time, let alone the shop, she would be afraid that he would be taken over by others.
