Chapter 56 Heartbreak

Cao Yong's arm was just a skin trauma, and it was almost healed. The Sixteenth Prince became a regular guest in the guard camp. Because he was cheerful and had no airs, the guards were willing to get close to the prince. Logically speaking, the prince should avoid making friends with the inner ministers and guards, but the Sixteenth Prince's biological mother was a Han native and was of a low rank in the harem, not as powerful as other older princes. I don't know if he was strong without desire. The Sixteenth Prince was not bound by force, but he was more comfortable in his actions. No one would think he had ulterior motives.

On this day, the sixteenth prince arrived at Cao Yong's account again.

The other guards in the same tent went on duty, and Cao Yong asked Xiaoman to brew two cups of tea.

The Sixteenth Prince sat on the little scepter, looked at Cao Yong, and smiled and said, "It's strange to say that when I see you, I feel close to you, as if I have known you for many years." Although the Sixteenth Prince loved "Master" in front of others and claimed to be "Master", he rarely treated Cao Yong in private.

It was not only the Sixteenth Prince, but Cao Yong also found it strange. From the first time he met the Sixteenth Prince before Kangxi's tent that day, to the time he asked him to be his companion, to help him settle the yellow flag a few days ago, the Sixteenth Prince was really "favorite" him. He remembered that the Sixteenth Prince's biological mother was his cousin's business. Could it be that his mother had asked the palace after she came to Beijing?

The sixteenth prince saw Cao Yong's face and said, "If it comes to the discussion, I will call you to call me cousin, but my brother's screams are too boring, so we will save that!"

"Okay, I don't dare to take this cousin, I just beg you to move and let me take a break when you hunt next time!" The two of them have been familiar with each other for more than half a month, and they are about the same age as each other, so they don't pay much attention to it in private.

The sixteenth prince smiled "hehe" but didn't respond. Cao Yong was helpless. This child was not old and even lazy than himself. He was lazy when hunting a few days ago. Cao Yong took some prey and cheated on him.

"If you don't say anything else, just say that the chicken is called "Flower Chicken". The taste is really good. If you say that there is anything good outside the Suihu, just count the fresh game!" The sixteenth prince took a sip of tea and said with his lips.

Cao Yong thought about the daily rooster and yellow sheep during this period, which was similar to the days he had been in Qingliang Temple. The little monk Zhiran didn’t know if he had left Jiangning. He heard him say he wanted to travel with his master. He also thought of himself, having left Jiangning for more than three months, but his plan was still unclear.

Although the purpose is to prevent the Cao family from losing or not letting themselves die, what else do you do? I came up with a few ideas to make money to help Cao Yin recover from the loss; I went to the capital to be a guard and expressed my loyalty to Kangxi for the family. Now, tea has gained something, and Pearl can also have a big income next year and the year after, but why is it so unhappy for me?

It is estimated that in the eyes of many people, Cao Yong became a bun, fought with the children of the Yellow Banner, and offended the Mongolian princess. The root cause is nothing more than one, that is, he could not swallow his anger and could not accept his identity as a slave. Although he was not born in a noble family in his previous life, his parents were caring for him and his brother and sister-in-law spoiled him, and he did not suffer any grievances. In this life, he was in the Cao family, and he grew up to now under the care of his elders and relatives. Since he had decided to be a guard for the Cao family for three years, why did he still compete with him like this?

Even if you call yourself a "slave", so what if you think of yourself as a slave in your heart; even if you don't call yourself a "slave", the current identity of the Cao family's Baoyi slave is real. You are too focused on details and have no view of the overall situation, so it is really not necessary. Why do you go back more and more with your life? Could it be that you really think of yourself as a fifteen-year-old boy?

It seems that the Cao family's deficit crisis should be almost solved. As for whether they can survive safely, this is not something they can decide. The moon has its own phases and waxing, and people have their own misfortunes and good fortunes. It is not easy to change by careful planning. Now, there is no big problem with the body. Will it be like the kind of young illness in history, and you have to leave your people to fate. In this case, why do you still have to be cowardly? It is not better to live a more casual life? For example, this surrender, who has traveled completely for public expenses, has arrived at this undestroyed natural prairie, and should enjoy this wonderful scenery well.

Cao Yong figured out these things and couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling much more refreshed.

The Sixteenth Prince was surprised when he heard this. Cao Yong looked at the rain outside the tent and the sky cleared. He said to the Sixteenth Prince: "I was a little hungry when I heard that the Sixteenth Prince brought up food. Why don't we go to the grassland to shoot two rabbits!"

The sixteenth prince leaned back and looked quite reluctant. Cao Yong smiled and did not force him. This child used to study from morning to night in the palace all day long. He was too tired and could be lazy now and he lost his naughty thoughts. The Qing Dynasty prince was not easy, and he was full of all kinds of homework, from how old he was to teenagers, day after day, and there were many days to rest in the year.

"Then Master Sixteen, you rest here, I'll go out for a walk!" Cao Yong lifted a horse whip and left the tent.

Although the Sixteenth Prince was a little lazy, it was boring to stay by himself, so he followed Cao Yong to leave the account.

The grassland after the rain is particularly beautiful, and the world washed by water is becoming more and more lofty. The endless green extends straight to the horizon. Various unknown wild flowers dotted among them, swaying in the wind. The water droplets on the petals of the grass have not yet dried up, and they rippled out a dazzling light, as if they were going to compete with the rainbow hanging in the air. This scenery is like a dream, still in the painting.

Cao Yong rode on the horse and looked at the beautiful scenery of the grassland. The depression that had been in his heart for several months was wiped out. If it weren't for the fact that this place was close to the camp, he wouldn't help but shout twice.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind him. Cao Yong turned around and it was the Sixteenth Prince who rode out on a horse. He was probably also fascinated by the scenery in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. After a while, he asked, "Where are we going?"

Cao Yong pointed to the northwest with a horse whip: "Seeing the river in the distance, let's go there to roast the rabbit!"

Seeing that Cao Yong was in a good mood, the sixteenth prince was also excited: "Okay, let's go to that river. Let's compare. The one who arrives first eats first, and the one who arrives late catches the rabbit!"

"It's settled!" As he spoke, Cao Yong clamped his legs and pulled the reins of the horse, and rushed out with his people and horses. He had been lazy several times before, so he should ask him to chase the rabbit and move his muscles and bones.

The sixteenth prince was naturally unwilling to fall behind and hurriedly waved his whip to chase him.

*

The river channel is winding and the water surface is gentle, and there is another view here.

Because Cao Yong arrived first, the Sixteenth Prince was responsible for catching the rabbit. But when the Sixteenth Prince was about to leave, Cao Yong stopped him: "Sixteenth Master, there is no need to be trouble!" It is indeed no need to be trouble. When he arrived by the river, Cao Yong realized that he had made a mistake. It had just rained for a while and the grassland was soaked. Where can I find dry firewood for a while?

When the sixteenth prince heard that there was no dry firewood, he got off his horse and tied the horse to a nearby bush.

Cao Yong also tied up his horse, stood by the river, and looked at the beautiful scenery of the grassland.

"I'll give you this!" The sixteenth prince handed over a piece of beef jerky as thick as a thumb: "Although it's a little smaller, it can still be chewed for a few bites."

Cao Yong was indeed a little hungry, so he took it and took it and it tasted very pure. As he chewed, a figure that he had originally thought had forgotten came to his heart.

The girl's name is Wen Qi, and she is his college classmate and his girlfriend. She likes to eat beef jerky the most, whether it is from Yunnan and Guizhou or from Mongolian grassland. Although there are several types in Carrefour, most of them are not as authentic as the origin. For a long time, Cao Yong searched for various origins online just to buy her the most delicious beef jerky.

After graduating from college, Cao Yong joined the firm run by his brother's friend, and Wen Qi stayed at school to study for a graduate school. Two years later, Wen Qi went to a financial company and became a legal consultant there.

Mr. Zhang, the boss of the company, originally came from an IT company, but because of the recession in recent years, he switched to finance. As a result, he achieved good results after spending a year or two. Cao Yong once took over Wen Qi and saw the scale of their company. He rented a floor of office building in the Urban Construction Building in Beitaipingzhuang, with an office area of ​​more than a thousand square meters. It was really good in the area on the side of the Third Ring Road where every inch of land is valuable.

Cao Yong was a law-based student and was particularly cautious in his viewing of problems. Wen Qi mentioned Mr. Zhang’s entrepreneurial history and felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t say it.

The business of financial companies is booming. In addition to several branches in Beijing, they have also gained a foothold in the southwest markets such as Chongqing and Chengdu. As a legal adviser, Wen Qi often needs to fly around and spend less time with Cao Yong. At that time, some classmates smiled and warned Cao Yong that they should take Wen Qi with a good eye. Nowadays, women like Wen Qi are the most popular.

The story later became cliché, and Mr. Zhang pursued this beautiful subordinate...

"Do you miss a woman?" The Sixteenth Prince interrupted Cao Yong's contemplation. He turned his head and saw the Sixteenth Prince smiled and was very ambiguous: "Hurry and honestly explain, do you miss a woman? Is it the girl Baoya or Tana?"

Just Baoya and Tana, the two maid girls, can still be considered women? Cao Yong muttered in his heart, but said, "It is related to the reputation of the two princesses, and the Sixteenth Master still needs to be careful!"

His chest was stuffy, and Cao Yong threw all the remaining beef jerky into his mouth.
