Cao Xiwan has always been Chen Ming's thug, and she is used to it. Otherwise, she would not have encountered Dao Lord Fengling. She thought that Chen Ming would be very painful when he lost her, because even though he had a magpie feather fan,
It's a hidden weapon, but he doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately. People will die.
Moreover, when the hidden weapon moved, poisonous smoke enveloped a ten-foot radius, and not a few people died.
In addition to being a hidden thug, Cao Xiwan always said in front of Manager Lian Er and Qin Baihu that she was a serious person who never bets.
But she thought that betting could be done without thinking, and it actually suited her well.
She then went to the guard room to pick up the water and stove that she had forgotten on purpose.
Sure enough, she met a gambling friend at the second gate.
Liu Ruhai was wearing a new jade-colored fox fur cloak, which made him look graceful and elegant. He looked like he had worn it from outside, but he didn't know which prince gave it to him.
Today he went out with the Marquis to attend a banquet at Duke Xu's mansion. The food and wine were slightly smoky, and his jade face was stained with clouds. He was about to go back to his room to rest when he met her.
She pinched her nose and said that there were too many ghosts and beasts in the city patrol department drinking, and she didn't dislike it at all. She talked to her gambling friend Liu Ruhai: "In Chengfu Temple, see the gambling game. Master Tai can make you wish
Accept the loss of the bet."
Liu Ruhai stood firm on the corridor, feeling surprised. He didn't expect her to use this method.
Master Miaolian had not seen anyone for several years, not even her apprentices. He had submitted several invitations in the name of a disciple of the Liu family, saying that he was late at school but had no news.
It is not easy for her to ask her master to see a doctor and prescribe prescriptions. How can she see it now when she goes to the temple?
Can Master Tai prove that she was not poisoned by corpse poison?
The ghost doctor Chen Ming was secretly using Corpse Poison Herb to make medicine for her, and he knew it very well.
Liu Ruhai couldn't help it: "Some elixirs and poisonous herbs cannot be taken indiscriminately."
She was startled and stared at him.
But he smiled again, his eyes wandering slightly, and he talked about old things: "You used to sweep the floor in the temple. I was wondering whether you wanted to become a monk in the temple or go to the cemetery to be a little ghost." He smiled and shook his head.
He shook his head and looked at her sideways, "Would you like me to come with you too? Will I be your companion?"
She was startled and looked into his smiling eyes.
She squinted her eyes and called out from the corridor, and the little boy came running over with a medical box on his back: "Young lady."
She asked Song Bi to help Liu Ruhai back to the yard: "Mr. Liu is drunk and talking nonsense."
Who pays attention to him?
"We have an appointment to go to Chengfu Temple?" Liu Ruhai asked.
She nodded casually.
"That's right. How about renting a yard? Let's go together?" He smiled and added, "I'll check your pulse."
Songbi listened, looked at Mr. Liu, and then at Madam Qing. It was not surprising that they mentioned this matter.
Mr. Liu has many friends, and Qing Niangzi and Su Baihu are close friends. Naturally, they all know what happened on December 12th.
Besides, the wealthy families can take a boat from the pier of Chengfu Temple, enter the Qinhuai River from Mochou Lake outside the city, and pass by the Nanhe Hundred Households. This is the most popular arrangement these days.
If you have nothing to do in winter, why not watch the battle from a distance on the snow-covered water?
In the name of boating in the snow, fishing in winter, and writing poems, many adults from the Jinyiwei, Wucheng, and other military attaché offices took their families with them to travel together, rent boats, and rent yards.
However, Cao Xiwan smiled: "Where can I rent it now? It has been robbed long ago. The largest yard was robbed by Xu Guogong's mansion. You didn't hear about it today?"
He smiled: "There are no plain noodles anymore?"
She ignored him and knew he was drunk, so she shook her head and left. But what he just said made her suspicious.
She pondered and walked back along the corridor.
She stopped taking the medicine made by Chen Ming. She just waited for Chen Ming to try it again because she felt something was wrong.
At this time, she was too afraid of the cold. She did not move in the warm pavilion. On the contrary, her body was extremely weak and she was tired from moving. She noticed it, ran around in each room, and went out to look at the shop. She seemed to feel better.
Therefore, she wanted to invite Liu Ruhai to meet the master.
Is there anything wrong with what Liu Ruhai means now?
But she has obviously recovered somewhat.
She couldn't see the puppet dance of Xiliu in the past year.
When Liu Ruhai saw her wandering away, he felt something again when he was shaking his hand holding the pine wall.
Songbi also whispered: "It's Mr. Qin."
Liu Ruhai turned around and saw a tall figure standing at the entrance of the corridor in the distance.
In the corner of the corridor, Qin Meng was wearing a thick thick black brocade cloak with shiny fur, an autumn-colored flying fish suit underneath, and two swords at his waist.
Liu Ruhai raised his eyebrows and cupped his hands from afar.
Qin Meng watched the two of them leave, and Cao Xiwan went to the duty room. He couldn't help but ponder:
Qing Niangzi, did you really set up this small duty room just to see him?
Qin Meng is now in charge of the guards and inspections of the Hou Mansion, and the incident of the young master entering the study room has happened. He is cautious in everything. Once he has his mind set, he takes action.
Mother Luo was entrusted by him, and when she had time, she went into the inner house all the way to the main room. She looked for a little girl and asked.
"Sister Cao? She's in the room right now. She just came out of my wife's room. She was just complaining about the cold."
Mother Luo smiled, then knocked on the door at the end of the corridor to talk to Cao Xiwan.
"It's rare that Mother Luo actually comes to my place."
Cao Xiwan quickly asked her to sit down. When Luo's mother came in, she noticed something was wrong.
Her room was decorated to be extremely warm.
"Me? I spend half the time in the house and don't go out." She explained, "Although my wife's greenhouse is good, she will glare at me."
Just from the few words Mama Luo said casually when she came in, she could tell that between the lines, Qin Meng was worried that because of her illness, she would inevitably have to interact with capable doctors, but she had to be careful not to be bribed by spies with unknown origins. And so on.
if.
She couldn't help but laugh.
"It turns out that Mr. Qin is different from Mr. Hou after all." She sighed. Mr. Hou gradually stopped listening to her advice in the past few years. She pulled Mother Luo to sit on the chair in the corner, and Mother Luo took a look.
, the dark green chair cover is made of three-strip cloth, with a layer of shiny bear skin twisted on the outside: "Oh, this fur is really high-quality."
"I bought it. I sewed it myself. Mother Chen also said it feels warm just by looking at it."
She was so proud that she saw that Liu Ruhai had a good quality bear skin at home, and asked him if he wanted to give it back as a gift to Uncle Ping Nan. The head of his farm had sent two skins, but she was short on them, so she decided to buy them on credit right away.
I took another second-grade bear skin, which is also an excellent wool material, and made three chair covers first.
There are three members of the Cao family, each with one dog.
After all, you don't live at home, so you have to pay attention to everything. No matter how bad she is at needlework, she can still sew fur onto cloth.
This is what I'm doing in the Nuan Pavilion these days.
Mother Luo praised the warmness of the chair cover, but that was not enough. She spread two more yellow rabbit skin mats, and used a fork to move the charcoal stove from the front of the bed to the front of the chair. She even carried the charcoal bucket.
Come here and light the fire brightly.
Mother Luo was sitting and couldn't help laughing when she saw her coming over and covering her knees with a layer of fur.
"What a good boy, it's totally unreasonable for your wife not to love you."
"...Our wife glared at me because I took care of myself and not her."
Mother Luo was speechless.
She also complained: Mother Chen also has many injuries. She takes care of her wife every day. She doesn’t even know how to take care of herself.
This made Cao Xiwan look like she was not a loyal girl. I really don't blame her.
