When I woke up, I was fine

It is autumn at this time, and the temperature is very cold in the morning and evening, and very hot at noon.

The Li family also has a large area of ​​land, so Mrs. Dou said a few words to Cao Qiang, and then led people out to check the account books.

Cao Li pretended to be innocent and cute, turned his head and said to Li Xiuxiu: "Since your family has land, why is there no food to eat?"

"Hey, you don't know that we dare not pull back these grains, and we dare not hide them. We just dispose of them in Jinyang. We are afraid that someone will say that we hid the grain for rebellion, and we are afraid that we will win the hearts of the people when we give it away. , in short, everything is wrong.”

As long as the emperor thinks there is a problem with your family, it is wrong for your family to drink saliva. Of course Cao Li understands this truth. To a little handle.

Just pretending to be innocent and bright, "A few days ago, I heard from the servants at home that your father and the emperor in the palace are cousins, and that emperor is still your cousin...why don't you just ask for it?" Things turned around?"

"Don't talk about it, that cousin laughed at my dad's appearance in public, saying he is an old lady... Forget it, it's very uncomfortable to talk about it, come with me to the room, let's go with Yuanji play."

This made Cao Qian a little puzzled, "Your family has no food, and it's not that there are no hands, why do you let you hold Yuanji every day?"

Li Xiuxiu quickly looked around, and saw the servant woman following behind and whispered to Cao Qiang: "I tell you, you must never say in front of Yuan Ji that when Yuan Ji was first born, my mother I despise him for being ugly and let people throw him away, but the housewife is reluctant to hide Yuan Ji and show it to my father when he comes back, so that Yuan Ji can stay in our house."

This is the first time Cao Qian has heard of such a thing, but after thinking about it, there are some mothers who are partial, "Poor Yuanji, then you take turns hugging him, are you worried...?"

"I'm just worried that my mother will throw Yuanji away when she doesn't like her eyes. I look at Yuanji during the day, and at night my elder brother takes him back to bed with me. I just hope that he will grow up quickly, and when he looks like my elder brother and second brother." Then you don’t have to worry about it.”

After talking back, they came to Li Xiuxiu's boudoir, where Li Yuanji was rolling on the bed.

Seeing the two of them coming in, he quickly stood up, clapped his hands and was about to jump down, Li Xiuxiu hurried forward and hugged his younger brother, "Say hello to the big lady... By the way, you all know my name is Xiuxiu ,what's your name?"

"My name is 槊, and I am the 槊 who writes poems horizontally."

"My second sister-in-law is called Guanyin Maid. We have many girls here, all of whom have small characters. What's your name in small characters? Could it be that I will call you Ah Yang from now on?"

Cao Qian nodded, thinking that my master didn't give me small print, he didn't even know my existence, and he didn't know if it counted if he did it himself, "I don't want small print, our girls don't have small print."

Li Xiuxiu wanted to talk again, Cao Qian quickly reached out and hugged Li Yuanji from her arms, "Let's play with brother Yuanji."

Li Xiuxiu nodded, it doesn't matter if the name is not the name, everyone is happy to play together.

In the evening, Guan Lengyan sent someone to pick up Cao Li, and the housekeeper and maidservant of the Cao family came to visit Mrs. Dou. Li Yuan also came back at this time. As soon as the husband and wife sat down, they saw the housekeeper and maidservant of the Cao family coming outside the hall.

The housekeeper politely handed over the gift, which was two pieces of brightly colored silk, "Our master said that our eldest lady has been a fake young man since she was a child, and it took a lot of effort to jump up and down. She must have caused a lot of trouble for Madam in your residence. See For the sake of these two pieces of silk, Madam, please don't argue so much with our eldest lady. Our master also said, if Madam thinks these two pieces are not enough, she will come to bring some more in two days, and please don't leave She kicks out."

Mrs. Dou kept saying that Mrs. Guan had to spend a lot of money, and she said that she would sweep the courtyard for two days to greet her, and told Mrs. Guan not to be too polite, just come.

The two parties exchanged politely, and Cao Qiang was invited out to meet Li Yuan for the first time.

It was also the first time for Li Yuan to see Cao Li. He saw that this little girl was white and tender, her eyes were rolling back and forth, she was not shy when she saw people staring at her, and she grinned generously.

The small face is fleshy, white and tender, with red lips and white teeth. When she smiles, the two rows of small teeth are like silver shells.No matter how you look at it, she is a well-behaved and cute little lady, and thinking that this little lady is only herself, without any brothers and sisters, and the family has no elders, holding a thousand hectares of fertile land in her hands, and has some power behind her back, this time I am even more satisfied .

The expression of satisfaction is to call Cao Qiang to him, and gently pat Cao Qiang's Baotou with his hand, "Go back early, it's too cold at night, let the maid give you a thick dress."

Cao Qian thought to himself that it would be better to give me the bow, but he couldn't say this, so he bid farewell to the husband and wife obediently, and followed the housekeeper back.

Madam Dou watched the Cao family leave, then turned to Li Yuan and asked, "How does the master look?"

"Madam has good eyesight, she is a good child, and she is perfect for our children." He lowered his head and thought for a while, "Our family must complete this matter. Looking around, there is only Cao's family in Chang'an." Ladies, it is the most suitable."

Mrs. Dou was a little puzzled when she heard this, didn't she agree to investigate it yesterday?How did you come to this conclusion today?

"Master, what do you mean? We must be cautious about our son's marriage. Didn't we make a decision yesterday..."

"I sent someone to ask about it today. It was done by a reliable person. You may not know that half of the land in Wannian County near Chang'an is in the hands of Cao's family, and half of the land in Taiping County next to it is also in the hands of the Cao family. The land belongs to the Cao family, and there are many lands further south, their family is entrenched in Bozhou, but they are not very populated, after the eldest lady's father passed away, there are no more males in the family."

Then he raised his eyebrows at Mrs. Dou, "I also found out how the eldest lady's father died?"

"I didn't finish talking about the land and the master. I think there is still a lot of money in the family. Could it be that there is a mystery behind the death?"

"There's no mystery. I didn't listen to dissuasion when I was hunting. I insisted on hunting tigers by myself. I was bitten and carried back. After a few days of fever, I died. I also got a portrait of him, with red lips and white teeth. , and the ancestors are indeed not ordinary people. When Sima usurped the Han, the Cao family escaped was their ancestors. The family has been separated for hundreds of years. After his death, there is no one in the immediate branch, but some people in the distant clan think In order to get his family's wealth, the eldest lady and her mother brought the child out, firstly to leave the land of right and wrong, and secondly, to find a backer. Although Cao Bohang is a bit powerful, how can he compare with our family, and he is big It is justifiable for a lady to get her father's things, she is a girl, so in the future, her husband and son will not be able to take care of these things for him?"

Mrs. Dou understood Li Yuan's plan, and wanted to occupy the magpie's nest.

"I'm afraid something is wrong, the eldest lady is still a child..."

"Ma'am, our family has been suspected by Yang Guang for so many years, and he has checked all the property of our family. The things that have been hidden for so many years have been dug out bit by bit. There is really no way. If we want to raise troops in the future rebel……"

Madam Dou was so frightened that she quickly covered Li Yuan's mouth, "Master, misfortune comes from your mouth."

Li Yuan nodded, and after Mrs. Dou took her hand away, he continued, "For major events in the future, we must have money and food to support us. How can we have enough money and food in our family? Even if all relatives and friends are brought here, they will not treat us With all my heart and soul, now that I have such a rich and well-fed in-laws, I can immediately do great things... We will not treat the eldest lady badly, if it is really a big event, I will finish it in a hundred years, and after it is completed, it will be him and the eldest lady My son, I think our in-law who has returned to the underworld is willing to do this."

Cao Qiang went home to meet Cao Bohang first, and then ran to play with Ba Niangzi. Ba Niangzi has been worrying for the past two days, lying on the bed tossing and turning. Have you heard that my uncle found someone for me recently?"

"I haven't heard of it, where did you get the news from?"

"Of course I heard it from the naughty old women at home. They said that my fiancé quietly returned to Chang'an not long ago and divorced my uncle. I was afraid that this was true."

"If you say that, that person borrowed your money, not only didn't pay it back, but walked away. Don't forget that when their family was exiled, you borrowed money from us."

"Big lady, don't mention the money, I will pay you back sooner or later." The big lady was still a child, and she told her that she didn't understand these things, and the eighth lady turned back.

"I didn't urge you to pay back the money, I just said you were a little fool and fell for it."

Ba Niangzi became decadent again when she heard that, and then began to forget about food and tea.

Cao Qian pushed her a few times but didn't push her, "Then you just lay down like this?"

Ba Niangzi didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment, so the maid had to ask Cao Li away.

Cao Qian had no choice but to say to Ba Niangzi: "You lie down first, and I will play with you again in two days."

Ba Niangzi waved her hands after listening, and watched Cao Li go out, she couldn't help envious in her heart: How can such children know the worries of adults, they only know how to eat, drink, play and play every day is enough, it is really enviable to die.

Cao Qiang didn't go far when he saw Guan Lengyan walking over with a group of people in high spirits. Cao Qiang was still thinking whether to show the deep love between mother and child, when he saw Guan Lengyan trotting over with her skirt in her hand, Cao Li hugged him in his arms and wiped away his tears, "My little ancestor, why did you take so long to come back? Auntie misses you so much at home, why don't you know how to go home after playing."

As he spoke, he picked up Cao Li and sat on the veranda next to him, and the maidservants on both sides stepped back with a very winking look.

Guan Lengyan wiped away a couple of tears, and when she saw no one here, she quickly said to Cao Qiang: "Someone checked your identity and mine today. Fortunately, I was prepared to ensure that there is no leakage. I asked you to recite it not long ago. Do you remember?" Can you recite it again and let me listen, I can’t do things outside like an iron bucket, but you slipped my feet.”
