Chapter 96 Rhymes (Part 1)

Cao Mansion, Huaiyuan.

Cao Song was rarely at peace and sat in a chair honestly.

Cao Yi sat on the edge of the kang, holding a wet veil in his hand, helping Cao Song clean up the stains on the wound on his face little by little.

Madam Zhang sat on the little scepter beside her and said, "I will go back to the house to find the old man tomorrow. How can I suffer such hardships? I can't be beaten by those people for nothing!"

Cao Song waved his hand impatiently: "Madam, don't be too troublesome. It's me and a few cousins, and I'm having sex with you! I've just complained. I didn't suffer any loss. I've taught them a lesson!"

Madam Zhang wanted to say something else, Cao Song called out loudly: "Yu Chan, Yu Ying, help Madam go down to drink, and ask the kitchen to get two more dishes of side dishes!"

With the response, the two maids came in from the door. Although they were fifteen or sixteen years old, their appearance and figure were really not enough. One was fat, with a stout figure and a round big pie face; the other was thin, with a sharp mouth and a black mole the size of a bean at the corner of his mouth. One on the left and the other on the right, they carried Madam Zhang out.

Although Cao Yi had seen his younger brother and these two maids many times, he still couldn't help frowning whenever he saw him.

Seeing Cao Yi frowned and said nothing, Cao Song thought she blamed him for beating Fangcha, and pouted, "It's really because she made a big fuss and pointed at Brother Wei's nose and scolded people. I was so annoyed. Brother Wei and Brother Wei are respected by brothers. The third sister and I have to be polite, so how could she be so arrogant!"

Cao Yi glanced at Cao Song: "Even if she had something wrong, these thirty boards were heavy. How could a weak woman suffer from these? She is more arrogant. If you look down on her, your sister is not strong. Just because of her sister's face, don't make things difficult for her."

Seeing that his sister was looking back at Fangcha, Cao Song was dissatisfied: "That girl is all instigated by the third sister. Could it be that the old lady has fairy spirit in the yard? If she stays inside, she has fairy spirit? She has developed such a domineering temperament!"

Cao Yi shook his head: "Second brother, you are prejudiced against her. Her heart is good, but it is bad in her mouth. In recent years, except for Vanilla, she has served me for the longest time. When she was a child, the wives and mother-in-law in the southern mansion wanted to control me, Fangcha stood up for me, and I was grateful to her. Her temperament is really strong, and I persuaded her several times in vain. I had to treat her like this, and I also wanted to protect her so that she could not rely on her and restrain her."

Cao Song was still dissatisfied and still defended: "Since you are a slave and a servant, you must know your identity. If the third sister had hit her early, she wouldn't have been like this!"

Cao Yi sighed: "She is also a pitiful person! When I first entered the weaver house, I became a lady and couldn't sleep well every day, so I was afraid that I would wake up. This was just a dream."

"Sister!" Cao Song thought that because of his mother, his sister suffered a lot in childhood and looked more guilty on her face.

Cao Yi continued to preach: "When I can't sleep at night, I hear Fangcha crying. She doesn't show up in front of others, but she is so sad in private!"

Cao Song was surprised: "What's there to be sad about her? She became a maid in her teens, first serving her brother and then serving her sister!"

"I was also surprised. After asking her several times, she didn't admit that she had cried. Later, when she got to know each other, she told me that it was for my brother! My brother had the best relationship with Fangcha when he was a child, and the two grew up together in the old lady's yard. Since my brother could walk and talk, he would stick to Fangcha and be happy to ask Fangcha to accompany him." Cao Yi said.

Cao Song nodded: "This is true, I seem to remember that this is the case."

Cao Yi said: "Well, that's true. Later, I asked the girls in the old lady's yard quietly. Fangcha said that what Fangcha said was true. This is because of this. The old lady asked her to take care of her brother! But for some reason, my brother has alienated Fangcha since he recovered from illness in July that year. When I entered the mansion, I sent Fangcha to me! Put my heart in mind, think about it, if your little friend suddenly became cold and stopped playing with you, will you be sad?"

Cao Song seemed to understand, but thought for a while: "This fangcha is really true. Even if I played with my brother when I was a child, what if I was a child? After all, I am a servant, so I must remember my identity first. My brother treats her ordinary things, so why should I rely on this?"

When Cao Yi saw that he was talking to him, he couldn't understand it. He shook his head secretly, too lazy to talk.

Bamboo courtyard, West wing.

Fangcha and vanilla are with Cao Yi for the longest time, so they are naturally treated differently from others, and they all have their own houses.

Fangcha was lying on the bed, still in a coma. The doctor had seen the injury. The board was really hit hard, hurting the inner abdomen and bones, and prescribed internal medicine for external application.

Vanilla sat in front of the bed, looking at the lifeless Fangcha, and felt very guilty. She regretted that she shouldn't have said Fangcha too much, causing the troubles. Although she had occasional arguments with Fangcha, she did not mean to gloat at the moment, but it was a bit sad to hurt her kind. This is the fate of being a slave. No matter how good the master's family is, she might have committed a taboo one day and let others beat and scolded.

"Rein..." Fangcha spoke in a coma.

Vanilla was confused when she heard this, leaned over and asked, "Is it cold? You can't cover it with a quilt if you add a charcoal basin?"

Fangcha muttered again: "Liansheng!"

Vanilla heard it very well this time, and her mind was filled with mucus. Who is this "Liansheng"? How could this name come out of Fangcha's mouth?! Just as she was surprised and she heard a slight sigh behind her.

When Vanilla turned around and saw that it was Amethyst, she was startled. Thinking of the "Liansheng" sound from Fangcha's mouth just now, she hurriedly looked at Amethyst's face, but she didn't know if she heard it. Seeing that her face was normal, she felt relieved.

"How is Fangcha?" Amethyst walked to the bed, looked at Fangcha, and turned around to ask Vanilla.

"I just got a little fever, but now I'm getting better. The doctor said that I'll make people watch it these days, afraid it's a bit dangerous." Vanilla replied.

Amethyst nodded: "Arrang to Chunya, Xia Fu and the others to take turns to take care of you. Don't be too tired. The girl needs you to be careful!"

Vanilla responded one by one, Amethyst looked at Fang's tea table again and picked the curtain out.

In the south of the city, Dianer Hutong.

Cao Yong and Yongqing followed Ning Chun into a small courtyard. Although it was not big, it was very exquisite. The pavilions, flowers and trees were all made in the style of the south, just like the concentrated Suyang Garden.

While we were talking, we had already arrived at the flower hall. The two women in the hall had been waiting for a long time and saw three of them coming in to pay their respects.

Both women are dressed up as women. The woman in the left head is older, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, tall, with a duck-egg face, bright and gorgeous facial features under heavy makeup, and a rose purple, pan-brown flower-inlaid dress with lilac silk satin squirrel jacket, with a bun tied high, and a golden step shaking. The woman in the right head is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a melon-shaped face and light makeup, her eyes are like two traces of autumn water, and she is very charming. She dresses as a bride, wearing a scarlet dress, and even the flat square on her head is made of pomegranate red agate, making her look whiter and tender.

The older woman laughed before she could speak, and her voice with a southern accent was extremely sweet: "Mr. Ning is here. My sister has been waiting for a long time. Please come to the table. I will urge you to eat."

Ning Chun smiled and said, "It's my fault that Sister Xingmei is."

The woman named Xingmei was what Ning Chun said about redeeming her own servant, and the master here. She covered her mouth with a veil and smiled: "You are still polite to me! Don't bother me, please don't think that I am so simple and unbearable!" As she said that, she sued her for guilt and retreated.

The remaining young woman was a little cramped. She forced a smile and her beautiful eyes fell on Ning Chun, as if she was asking each other.

Ning Chun smiled back and pulled her over, introduced to Yongqing and Cao Yong, "This is Qiuniang." He said to the young woman, "Qiuniang, these are the two most close friends I have mentioned before. This is my eldest brother Yongqing, and this is my brother Cao Yong, so please greet them quickly."

Qiu Niang bowed: "I Qiu Niang has met two masters and pays homage to you."

Ning Chun pulled her and frowned and said, "Why are you calling me? Everyone said this is my brother. Call me uncle and uncle according to the rules!"

When Qiu Niang heard this, she blushed on her face, mist gathered in her eyes, a hint of joy, and a little whimpered in her voice, and she saluted again: "I have seen uncle and uncle, I wish you both."

Yongqing and Cao Yong both bowed and returned the favor. They looked at each other and were surprised. When Ning Chun introduced him, he did not use any concubine or servant words, so he could see that he had no name. They only thought that this girl was Ning Chun's outer room. Now, when Ning Chun taught her to call her uncle, he actually regarded her as a wife. It seems that this girl was the tip of his heart, but Ning Chun was about to get married in the twelfth lunar month...

According to the statement at that time, a man would not give a shame to his daughter before marriage. Even a girl who had been married since childhood was not allowed to be a concubine for a year after his wife passed by. The higher the status of the woman, the more cautious the man should be about taking a concubine, otherwise it would be difficult for the woman to lose her face and life would be difficult. Ning Chun is now marrying a family background, and it is really worrying that he made such a move at this time.

Ning Chun looked at their faces and knew what they were thinking. He laughed and pulled them into the seat.

When the wine and food came, Ning Chun toasted himself with a glass of two people and asked Qiu Niang to toast.

Qiuniang drank a glass, said a few auspicious words, and then said that she would go to the kitchen to add two dishes, sue her guilt and leave her brothers to speak on the table.

Yongqing was anxious and couldn't help but see Qiu Niang disappearing at the door, and immediately said to Ning Chun: "Jingming, you should be a measure too! When you raise a concubine, you can't get a good result when you look back!"

Ning Chun smiled: "Brother Shanyu, don't worry, brothers are very sensible! To be honest, I asked her to pay homage to the two brothers today, and I asked her to have something to ask for. My brothers didn't hide it from each other. She took my life to me, and I couldn't give up! But now I have taken the house, it's not appropriate. I just waited for my son to take it back, and there was nothing to say there. After I got married, I couldn't come so hard, and I was afraid that I could not come at all in the past few months before and after the New Year. Therefore, I asked for it. If she had anything, let her upload a message to the two houses. If you can help, please help me, and if you can't help, be an intermediary and transfer it to me."

Yongqing waved his hand: "Brothers, what's wrong with asking for anything! I and Xiao Cao are there, you don't have to worry about this. But your wife needs to settle down."

Ning Chun took the wine and said, "Then I will thank you two here first!" As he said that, he raised his head and fucked.

Yongqing and Cao Yong hurriedly said, "Why are you polite!" He drank a drink with him.

After a while, the food was served. Qiu Niang came over and held a pot with everyone. The one named Xingmei also came up to toast a circle of wine and said with a smile: "It's not fun for you to eat like this. I just have two sisters here. Can you tell them to play and sing and cheer up?"

Ning Chun smiled and said, "It's good, but I don't know which two sisters are Sister Xingmei?"

Xingmei shook the veil and said with a smile: "How dare ordinary people call him to humiliate Ning Ye Qing! Ning Ye also knows Cui Xiu and Tang Jiaojiao from our Yiyue Tower. They both have good voices and good pipas!"

Ning Chun was very excited and slapped the table and said wonderingly: "Jiaojiao is actually here too! Why don't you call her over quickly!"

Xingmei nodded at Qiu Niang: "Mr. Ning really eats the bowl and looks at the pot. When she has a beautiful girl, she still cares about others!"

Ning Chun said that my wife was the most jealous, but she tightly held Qiu Niang's slender waist in her hand. Qiu Niang's face was so embarrassed that she blushed. She tore him away and hid in the hall.

Xingmei smiled and went down to greet people.

Ning Chun took a sip of wine happily, turned his head and smiled and said to Yongqing and Cao Yong: "It's really rare today. Tang Jiaojiao is one of the pillars of Yiyue Tower. She has a pair of good golden lotus! Look at it later. It's a complete three-character, soft, and beautiful, and a fairy-like product!" Then he talked about the golden lotus, such as the four shiny lotus, the brocade-side lotus, the hairpin lotus, and the Buddha-head lotus, and the other ones, and then talked about the appreciation of the golden lotus.
