Powerful ministers are husbands

Although it is as white as snow, it is very warm, like soft cotton wool that surrounds him, blocking all the cold and discomfort, so comfortable that people can't wait to rub it twice.

Rubbing... Twice...

A gust of wind swept away the chaos in his mind, and Pang Miao woke up in time to stop this stupid idea.

Because he realized that he was in Cao Lv's arms, with his face pressed against his chest.

His arms were tightly wrapped around Cao Lu's waist, while the other party held his shoulders. It was Cao Lu's arm that had been scratching just now.The so-called snow-white warm cotton wool is actually a middle coat.

No wonder I slept so soundly last night, felt warm and had good dreams.

There was the sound of even breathing from above his head, and Cao Lv hadn't woken up yet.

Pang Miao tried to move back, but Cao Lu's hands were like shackles, so tight that he couldn't move.

The strength of the generals cannot be underestimated.

But this is not difficult for Pang Miao. He quickly tried to move down slowly, but he was afraid of alarming Cao Lu, so he had to hold his breath and move little by little. His whole body felt sore and numb due to tension, but this time Time is still half the distance from success.

He raised his head cautiously, and saw that those eyes were still closed, and the thin eyelashes trembled slightly.

After taking a few breaths, Pang Miao slammed his breath and continued to move. This time he succeeded and got rid of Cao Lu's arms. Then he rolled over to the edge of the bed and sat up.

"Huh—" Pang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, moved his limbs, turned his head and found that the quilt had slipped a lot after the toss just now, so he quickly pulled the quilt back on Cao Lv.

But... What if Cao Lu accidentally turned over after he left?

Pang Miao looked out the window, it was still early, and the attendants had not come yet.

no way.Pang Miao rubbed his eyes. After getting dressed, he sat on the edge of the bed, reached into the quilt, and held Cao Lu's hand. Feeling bored, he read the book that Cao Lu casually left beside him last night.

I thought it would be something like the art of war, but I didn't expect it to be a market miscellaneous book.

"General Cao also reads this kind of book?" Pang Miao was surprised, flipped through two pages indiscriminately, and put them aside. When he turned around, he found Cao Lv staring at him with smiling eyes.

"Cough...you're awake."

"You—" As Cao Lv sat up, the quilt slid down, and he raised his hand.

"Oh, I'm afraid you'll turn around." Pang Miao was very calm, and didn't want to give Cao Lv an opportunity to use the problem. "Anyway, the servant hasn't come yet, so I have nothing else to do. It's easy."

"Well, well—" Cao Lu nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly let go of his hand.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and Ahao and Jinxiu came in successively carrying basins.Pang Miao and Cao Lv each cleaned up. After breakfast, Jinxiu was sent to chat with Meng Qinghua.

Cao Lv ordered his attendants to bring some game and gifts to Meng Qinghua's maid.When he came back, he saw Pang Miao sorting out the calligraphy he had practiced the day before yesterday, so he picked up a sheet and looked at it again and again.

"Not bad, not bad. In the future, we can set up a stall and write Spring Festival couplets, calligraphy and painting letters for people."

Pang Miao listened strangely, and gently pulled the piece of paper back from Cao Lv's hand, "You are General Zuowei, a minister trusted by the Holy Majesty, and an important minister respected by everyone. Why do you need to set up a stall with me to sell calligraphy and paintings?"

Cao Lv shook his head with a smile, jumped to sit on the table, and watched Pang Miao organize all the copybooks and put them on the things he was going to take back together in the afternoon.

"There are ups and downs in the officialdom, maybe one day I will not be as good as a beggar on the street." He added, "At that time, will you take me in?"

Pang Miao stood in front of Cao Lv, and pressed his hand heavily on his shoulder, "General Cao will also have no confidence in himself? There is no way to overcome evil. Don't you still have two Kings of Yan in your hand? The old department? Eh? Speaking of which, are those two people useful?"

"You mean Lu Ba and Ding Wuwei? The two of them are secretly placed somewhere near the imperial palace, and they have to observe for a while before drawing conclusions." Cao Lu raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, "It's good to relax..."

"cough……"

Cao Lv looked at Pang Miao who was holding back his smile inexplicably, "Your mentality is not normal." He lowered his head and suddenly found the ink stains on his fingertips, and this hand just touched his nose.

"Wipe it quickly." Pang Miao wiped the ink spots on the tip of Cao Lu's nose with a towel, but the ink stains were a bit stubborn, and after two vigorous wipes, there were still some faint traces.He turned back to look for the water basin, but Jinxiu had already taken it out and poured it down. Finally, he looked around the room and locked his target on the teapot on the table.

"There is a little tea fragrance on the tip of the nose." Pang Miao said, wiping off the last traces, recalling Cao Lv's appearance with a little black nose, he almost couldn't help laughing, and when he looked up, he happened to meet a pair of dark eyes , immediately became serious.

"That's right." Cao Lv echoed, "There is a light tea fragrance in his breath, A Miao is really smart." After speaking, he went out to wash his hands.

The room that was still ringing with chatter and laughter just now suddenly became deserted.Pang Miao cleared his throat and found something to do for himself.

After Cao Lv came back, he never brought up the matter of setting up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings.After a while, Jinxiu came back and brought a list of merchants that had business dealings with the Meng family. The two began to study again. As for the pair of young lovers, they saw that they would not have a chance to meet again after returning to the imperial capital in the afternoon, so they were hurrying to get tired of it. When they are together, it is inconvenient for them to bother.

During lunch, Pang Miao and Cao Lv already knew the plan, and they told Meng Qinghua the plan, and everyone hit it off. As the saying goes, "Soldiers are expensive and quick", and they planned to return to the imperial capital and start implementing the plan.

In the afternoon, everyone returned to the imperial capital.Gongyu smiled and did not follow them into the city, and left when the carriage was still more than a mile away from the city gate.Pang Miao and Cao Lv personally sent Meng Qinghua home. The Meng family was always surprised and happy, and almost set off firecrackers at the door.But fortunately, with the experience of the day when they returned home last time, the two elders of the Meng family said a few words of thanks at most, without making too many entanglements, and bid farewell to General Cao.

Returning to Cao's mansion again, Pang Miao got out of the carriage and looked at the gate of Cao's house, feeling unreal in a trance.

"Ma'am, are you still getting out of the car?" A voice sounded in his ear, Pang Miao lowered his head and saw Cao Lv stretching out a hand to him, then out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Xue Jinyi at the door.With undisguised surprise in his eyes, he held Cao Lv's hand, slowly stepped off the footstool, and walked into the door side by side.

When passing by Xue Jinyi, Pang Miao secretly paid more attention to it. He was surprised that maybe this romantic person who hangs around countless flowers had already seen through his identity, but like Cao Lv, he did not say a word to outsiders. Otherwise, seeing him return to Cao's house safely, he would never show such a shocked expression.

Pang Miao's mood was complicated for a moment, but it quickly disappeared.

Anyway, Xue Jinyi would never pester him again.

Pang Miao and Cao Lv first listened to Songyuan putting things away, but when they stepped into the courtyard gate, they sensed something was wrong.The maids and women who used to gather on the porch to chat in the afternoon were gone, the courtyard was cleaned spotlessly, there was not even a shadow of a fallen leaf on the ground, and there was not a single dead leaf on the planted flowers and trees, especially in front of the door. The couplet plaque, wiped so that people can be seen.There are also the stone benches surrounding the stone table, as if someone has carefully measured the distance between each stone bench just right.

Cao Lv's requirements were always clean and tidy. The stone benches were a little messy, and there was a thin layer of floating dust on the plaques. They didn't care much, and they were definitely not so strict.

Could it be to welcome the Eighth Young Master and Eighth Younger Madam who have been away for three days?

Pang Miao felt that this was too much of a fuss.

Just two or three steps into the gate of the courtyard, they heard the maids and servants of Songyuan trotting out of the side courtyard, greeting them respectfully and politely.

Cao Lu frowned slightly, apparently unhappy with the changes in his absence.

Before the eighth young master had an attack, a middle-aged woman dressed more decently came forward with a smile on her face, bowed deeply to the two of them, her head almost hit the ground.

"Master Eighth, Mrs. Eighth Younger Lady, Madam has invitations from the main courtyard."

Pang Miao felt that this woman was unfamiliar, but judging by her attire, she should be a respectable mother in charge of the mansion.Cao Lv looked at her for a while, and recognized her as Mama Jing, who was quite capable in front of her mother. She came here as a dowry and served for decades, until she was assigned to Zhuangzi in the countryside to clean up Brother Seven half a year ago. mess.

Mother Jing didn't say a word about the reason why she appeared in Tingsongyuan, she just said "Ma'am, please", and stood by the door with her head bowed dutifully.

Pang Miao and Cao Lv looked at each other, went back to the house and tidied up briefly, then went to the main courtyard.

When he stepped into the main room, Pang Miao had the feeling of being interrogated by three judges—except for Cao Lv's sisters-in-law, the faces of others were as if they were carved out of stone, so they couldn't move at all. After "The Eighth Young Master and Eighth Young Madam are here", more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, directly causing the atmosphere in the room to be extremely depressed.

Mrs. Cao's complexion loosened first, miraculously showing a slightly loving expression, and beckoning to Pang Miao, "Old eighth daughter-in-law, come here."

Pang Miao glanced at Cao Lv, who was expressionless, and walked towards him with small steps, "Mr. Wen, send my respects to your mother."

Mother Yu presented a wooden box with both hands. Just the faint fragrance from the box and the intricate and delicate peony patterns on it, one can tell that the things inside must be priceless.

Mrs. Cao opened the box, and there were two emerald green and transparent bracelets on the brocade inside.

Could this be something like a Cao family heirloom?Pang Miao thought of this, and Madam Cao said again: "This pair of bracelets was given to me by Lu'er's grandmother, and it is to be passed on to Lu'er's daughter-in-law. Today, I will give these pair of bracelets to you."

Pang Miao watched Madam Cao pick up the jade bracelet and put it on his wrist. The cold touch made his whole body tremble slightly.

Cao Fu and Cao Yin looked at each other unwillingly, and took the opportunity to look at the concubines and daughters-in-law on the opposite seat with the mentality of watching a show, but seeing the dignified smiles on their faces, they couldn't help curling their lips and suppressing the pain in their stomachs. anger.

"I hope you will give birth to Lu'er's son as soon as possible, so that I can safely leave the affairs of the inner courtyard to you in the future." Mrs. Cao patted Pang Miao on the shoulder and gave him a heavy responsibility.

"..." Anyway, it is impossible for him to give birth to a child. He will never have to intervene in the affairs of the Cao family's inner courtyard. Pang Miao obediently kowtowed to thank, "Mr.

"Mother Jing has been with me for nearly 40 years. She is rigorous, responsible and organized. I transferred her to Tingsongyuan to serve you. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask her. As soon as Mama Jing arrived at Tingsong The courtyard will pack everything properly, so that you can live comfortably."

Pang Miao and Cao Lv both understood what the things they didn't understand referred to, and they looked at each other at the same time.

When I get home, I have to face difficulties again...

Mrs. Cao looked at the door, and said again: "Oh, by the way, I specially invited Dr. Cheng to feel your pulse. A few days ago, you fell into the water to catch the cold, and I don't know if it is appropriate to rest in the other garden. Let's take a look by the way." Do you still need to take some supplements at ordinary times, you must take care of your body."

Pang Miao was startled when he heard footsteps behind him, and a maid leading a doctor carrying a medicine box was walking towards him.

The author has something to say:
