Powerful ministers are husbands

After the success news and family letters from the frontier last time, the frontiers have been victorious frequently. In just half a month, Cao Lv led his troops to recover [-]% of the lost land. Taking back the remaining counties and counties is like picking up something. The court is full of joy. Naturally, she was also very happy. When the last good news was sent back to the imperial capital, Mrs. Cao hosted a banquet for relatives and friends on a sunny afternoon.

In the flower hall, there are ladies and ladies from various families, beautiful and charming, and their voices are like the singing of orioles floating in the breeze.

Pang Miao lowered his head slightly, and walked around in front of Mrs. Cao and other wives, intending to avoid them temporarily after doing all the courtesy.

"Hey, eighth brother and sister, where are you going?" Cao Fu yelled, intentionally provoking trouble - taking advantage of the last few days before the eighth brother returned to Beijing, the mother who could pick one more time to teach the eighth brother and sister a profit.

Mrs. Cao ignored this stupid daughter.

Cao Fu does not treat Pang Wenjun as the eighth younger sibling in his heart, but Pang Wenjun has married Cao Lv, and it is an indisputable fact that he has become a member of the Cao family, and his words and deeds represent the image of the Cao family.It is the Cao family's face that will be lost by picking things out.How can you not show your own jokes to others in front of so many people.

Pang Wenjun has done all the rules that should be done, and she just wished that he would avoid him for a while.To save her from showing an inappropriate place by accident, which would embarrass her face.

Pang Miao withdrew his foot just as he stepped out of the door, and explained lightly: "I think mother's tea is almost bottomed out, so I ordered the servants to add more water."

Upon hearing this, all the wives praised Mrs. Cao for having a filial, considerate and considerate daughter-in-law. Mrs. Cao just put aside her daughter who wanted to make trouble, and thanked everyone modestly.

Seeing that his mother had no intention of answering the conversation, Cao Fu gave up resentfully.

Anpinlan, the eldest daughter of the Ansheren, passed Pang Miao when she came in from the door. She turned her head meaningfully, and when she turned her head, she put on a smiling expression and sat down beside Cao Fu enthusiastically. , holding her arm intimately.

"Sister Fu, Baochen is so cute. He is small but very smart. In the blink of an eye, a small lump of mud was squeezed into a living little monkey."

"Oh, Bao'er is too naughty." Cao Fu sighed helplessly, "I don't know how to obediently study for homework."

An Pinlan persuaded with a smile: "Baochen is so clever, he must be good at reading."

Cao Fu was delighted to hear that, and stood up together with Anpinlan, "Come on, let's go and see Bao'er. Alas, poor parents in the world, as a mother, I expect Bao'er to be outstanding in everything, but Can't be tired anymore."

An Pinlan nodded, "What Sister Fu said is true. Unfortunately, Pinlan still can't understand it now, but Sister Fu's kindness has already made Pinlan feel and was deeply moved."

Cao Fu was very satisfied with the flattery, took Miss An's hand, and the two of them walked out of the flower hall together. Today's weather is clear and bright, with white clouds and light breeze, very refreshing.Cao Baochen and several officials' children were squatting on the muddy floor by the small pond to play with mud. There were more than a dozen vivid and nimble mud animals neatly arranged on the flagstone floor. When the servants who were in charge of taking care of Young Master Sun saw the eldest lady coming , saluted quickly.

Cao Fu glanced at the mud animal and noticed that his son's hands and face were dirty, so he ordered in a slightly unhappy way, "Why don't you help Master Sun wipe his hands?"

The maid hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped the mud off Cao Baochen's hands.

Cao Baochen didn't play enough, how could he obediently "catch him without a fight", he scratched his hands indiscriminately, the servant woman suffered from pain, and subconsciously avoided it.He got a gap, and fled to the side quickly like a loach. The other friends thought they were going to play the game of "officers and soldiers catching thieves", and chased after Cao Baochen laughingly.

An Pinlan hurriedly said: "Baochen is very popular and sought after by the children. Sister Fu, look, everyone is looking forward to him, like a little general."

On Cao Fu's delicately made-up face, there was a smug smile. It is very pleasant to be flattered and flattered when you are in a bad mood.

Cao Baochen ran around in the yard like a lunatic. Seeing that the person in front of him seemed to be the little aunt who caused him to be scolded by his little uncle last time. Seeing the dirty mud on his hands, he had a flash of inspiration and secretly pursed his mouth. Le, with both hands raised, rushed over, slammed into the little aunt's leg, and scratched at the clean and beautiful dress with both hands regardless of the three sevens and 21s.

Caught off guard, Pang Miao was taken aback. The maids with quick eyes and quick hands swarmed up, trying to pull Cao Baochen away, but they were afraid that they would hurt the little ancestor with too much strength, and were scolded by the eldest lady, so they put on a show The tug of war was like an evenly matched battle, and for a long time, Cao Baochen still took Pang Miao's clothes as a towel to wipe his hands with great joy, and laughed and called his friends to come and wipe them together.

Pang Miao frowned slightly, and directly pushed Cao Baochen into the arms of the servant girl, who knew that the force in this brat's hand was not small, when he pushed it, he heard a "stab", and his coat was pulled out quite a bit a hole.

Cao Baochen, who was leaning safely in the maid's arms, arrogantly made faces at Pang Miao, flaunting his almost clean little hands.

Cao Fu saw everything in his eyes, and trotted over in a hurry. At that time, he wanted to slap Pang Miao, but she couldn't take it for granted that the eighth younger brother was about to return to the capital, and Cao Baochen was safe and sound. She not only held back her dissatisfaction Instead, he asked, "Is the eighth sibling okay?"

"Thank you, big sister, for your concern. I'm fine." Pang Miao replied flatly. Cao Fu didn't provoke trouble, and he didn't want to get angry because of a child. "I'll go back to Songyuan to change my clothes."

"Isn't it good to listen to Songyuan like this?" An Pinlan said in a low voice, standing in front of Pang Miao intimately, blocking the sight of the servants, "There are many people in the house today, and it is inevitable that we will meet servants on the road. How embarrassing are you?"

Cao Fu pouted, and shouted at the stunned servant girls, "Why don't you hurry up and serve Mrs. Eighth Young Master to change clothes in the room over there?"

The maids rushed to prepare hot water, An Pinlan gently pushed Jinxiu, and said, "Go back quickly and get Mrs. Eighth Young Madam's dress."

Cao Fu looked at An Pinlan suspiciously, while lovingly stroking his son's soft hair.Cao Baochen twisted a few times, and wanted to play tricks on his little aunt, but his mother held him tightly, so he had to give up.

"Huh?" Jinxiu stared at the familiar Miss An, but she didn't understand when this lady became so familiar with her young master.

Pang Miao said at this moment: "Jinxiu stay here, you go and get the clothes." He ordered another little maid who followed.

An Pinlan glanced at the little maid who left, and stood beside Pang Miao kindly, "Sister Wenjun, look, your clothes are all dirty." She reached out to wipe off the mud marks on Pang Miao's body.

"Hey!" Cao Fu stretched out his hand to stop her, and looked at Jinxiu dissatisfied, "Pinlan, don't bother you with these things."

Jinxiu protected Pang Miao and took a step back, gently brushing off the dried mud on his clothes.Pang Miao noticed An Pinlan's staring gaze, so he brushed his chest on purpose, smiled and said to her, "Thank you, Miss An, for your concern."

The chest was soft, and after being stressed, it sank and quickly returned to its original shape. An Pinlan raised her eyebrows slightly.

At this time, the maid came to inform that hot water was ready in the side room, and when the little maid in Songyuan brought clean clothes, An Pinlan said again: "Sister Wenjun, let me go wash with you."

Cao Fu found it strange that Miss An and her eighth siblings had only met once in Wang's residence, so how could they be so enthusiastically courted?

"How can you bother Miss An?" Pang Miao politely refused.

"As soon as I saw Sister Wenjun, I felt kind. Besides, Sister Fu and I have known each other for several years, and we are as close as real sisters. Naturally, we should help with such a small matter." An Pinlan was about to go forward and abduct Pang Seeing that something was wrong with Miao's arm, Jin Xiu hurriedly took the first step to block it.

Pang Miao hurriedly said: "Miss An is the daughter of Zhongshu Sheren and a good sister of the elder sister. I really can't bother you so much. These things can be done by the little maid. Could it be that Miss An can't trust the little maid of our Cao family? Think they can't serve people?"

Cao Fu sighed heavily, An Pinlan's look of wanting to hold her thigh for a favor was really ugly to the extreme, and she lost face.

An Pinlan wanted to persuade her attentively, but Cao Fu said first: "Pinlan, go back and drink tea with me, we've been out for a while, if someone came out to look for us without seeing us, wouldn't it be the eighth brother and sister? Do you embarrass the eighth brother and the eighth younger siblings?"

"I..." An Pinlan had just uttered a word when Cao Fu dragged her away.

Pang Miao and Jinxiu looked at each other, followed the little girl to the side room, the little girl put down her dress and left.

Jinxiu closed the door and came over to help Pang Miao untie her belt, "That Miss An family is really weird today, she didn't say a word to you at Wang's house last time, and this time she just met you for the second time and treats you like a relative." Like sisters. Miss Cao is a little upset, but she still wants to help you."

"I also find it strange." Pang Miao felt uneasy, and An Pinlan was indeed too enthusiastic.

"Could it be to take advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with you?" Jinxiu guessed, "Last time at Wang's house, several wives competed to talk to you."

"A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl?" Pang Miao didn't quite believe that it would be of any great use.

In the flower hall on the other side, Cao Fu asked the nanny to help Young Master Sun change his clothes, drank a bowl of sour plum soup by himself, looked around the flower hall, and asked An Pinlan who was finally sitting beside him honestly: "Hey, where is your sister Pinzhu?"

An Pinlan hurriedly took the pastry from the maidservant's hand, and handed it to Cao Fu, "Pin Zhu and a few sisters are playing in the small garden at the back. Sister Fu knows that my younger sister is always playful."

"At your age, it's natural to love to play." Cao Fu picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it slowly.

An Pinlan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly looked outside the door.

Pang Miao let Jinxiu help him take off his outer shirt, and when he untied his belt and was about to take off his skirt, he suddenly pressed Jinxiu's hand.
