son-in-law

Chapter 548
"Li Wantang, you finally did something that satisfies me."

Changqiu Palace and Feixiang Palace.

Cao Yuzan's arms were bent against her hidden sac, and she half-lyed on the imperial concubine's couch, her head tilted upwards.Cao Xiaobao fanned the Queen Mother with a giant plantain fan.Sun Bumei knelt on the couch, put the queen mother's legs on her own, and massaged and beat her.Li Wantang, the head of the Ouchi, stood respectfully below.

For some reason, Cao Xiaobao was a little unhappy, and pouted slightly while fanning the wind.He used a lot of strength, but he only fanned the queen mother's upper body, and he didn't know if he was deliberately avoiding Sun Bumei.

"It is our family's duty to be loyal and filial to the Empress Dowager." Li Wantang nodded and said.

Cao Yuzan sat up: "This time you were able to disturb Chang'an Road, which really impressed me. More importantly, you failed to make Tang Zhen aware of it. Tell me, how did you do it?"

Li Wantang glanced lightly at Sun Bumei.

Cao Yuzan said: "Cao Xiaobao and Sun Bumei are my close friends."

Li Wantang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Our family can't do this alone, and we still have to rely on Cao Wudi in the end."

"Cao Wudi?" Cao Yuzan slightly tilted his head: "Who is Cao Wudi? Back then I heard Renzong mentioned Cao Wudi. But when I asked him this question, he kept it secret and refused to tell me."

Li Wantang was respectful and serious: "Not now."

Cao Yuzan stared: "Li Wantang, do you think that with the support of three old kings, I can't touch you?"

Li Wantang knelt on the ground and said nothing.

After a while, Cao Yuzan sighed: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you. New achievements should be rewarded no matter what. Tell me, what do you want?"

"The minister works for the queen mother and does not ask for rewards."

"If you don't know the rewards and punishments, nothing can be done. You don't ask for it, but I have to give it." Cao Yuzan tilted her head slightly: "Xiaobao."

Cao Xiaobao hastily put down his cattail fan, saluted and said, "Your servant is here."

"Li Wantang's house is too small, which doesn't fit the status of a chief executive. You go to Jingxingfang to find Hong Dun, and arrange a big house for Li Wantang's family. You can make it clear to Hong Dun. If it is lower than three, or let him come to me to accept the crime."

"Here!"

Cao Xiaobao took the order to retreat, and Li Wantang glanced at Sun Bumei again.

Cao Yuzan frowned slightly, she realized that Li Wantang wanted to tell a deeper secret, and Li Wantang could not trust anyone around Cao Yuzan.

At this time, Cao Yuzan waved her hand, causing Sun Bumei to also retreat.

Li Wantang said in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, this old slave would like to introduce someone to you."

"who?"

"Chu Wuba."

"Huh?" Cao Yuzan asked suspiciously, "What's the use value of that crazy bandit?"

Li Wantang said: "If the Empress Dowager really wants to touch the three old princes, she needs someone to back her up."

Hearing this, Cao Yuzan was startled, and then he squinted his eyes, and shot out fierce eyes: "Li Wantang, are you testing me?"

"Don't dare. What this old slave says is from the bottom of his heart."

"You are a member of the three princes, and you suddenly rebelled, how can I believe it?"

Li Wantang lowered his voice and said slowly: "Did Mr. Cao not give any hints to the Queen Mother?"

Cao Yuzan was stunned for a moment, lost in memory.

……

Cao Yuzan is different from Cao Yuchai. Yuchai likes to move, but Yuzan likes to be quiet.There were too many court ladies and eunuchs in the palace, and she was annoyed by it, so she usually let the extra people stand outside.

But she had complained about the lack of popularity in the palace before, and she wanted to attract some daughters of princes and county kings to live in the palace.Everyone couldn't quite figure out what the hell she was up to.

Later, after being nominated by Princess Taichang and reviewed by the Queen Mother, nine daughters of the royal family were really selected to enter the palace.And this actually included Prince Kang's only daughter, Xuzhou Princess Zhao Tan.

This made Zhao Tan "happy".On the first night after entering the palace, Zhao Tan grabbed Cao Yuzan tightly and chatted until midnight.As a result, Cao Yuzan was not very energetic the next morning at court, and even more drowsy after court.

Cao Yuzan was a few years older than Zhao Tan, but before Cao Yuzan entered the palace, the two of them had a really good relationship.Frequent contacts.Now Cao Yuzan's identity has changed, from the eldest daughter of the Cao family whose parents both died to the empress dowager Cao.I can no longer find the feeling of girlfriends back then.

So Zhao Tan didn't often come to Changqiu Palace to play with Cao Yuzan, but that girl had no good intentions, she knew that Cao Yuzan was afraid of hairy things, so she raised cats in the palace.

In the Liang Dynasty, it was very common for ladies in the aristocratic circle to keep small pets.Even a high-cold princess like Tang Ling'er would support a little raccoon.And the nine princesses who entered the palace this time, almost each of them brought a little pet, such as the Fushi dog shaped like a lion cub, and the plump dry red cat.

Originally careless Zhao Tan didn't have a pet, she was looking for someone else to raise it, and she asked her family to send her one, and then used it to scare Cao Yuhan.The family asked, what kind of cat does the Princess like?Zhao Tan said, what suit is the most annoying?The servant said that black cats are unlucky, so there is no one to keep them.Zhao Tan said, well, I want a black cat.

The house slave had a headache for a while, but he had nothing to do with the princess.I dare not tell the prince and princess about this, otherwise the two masters would definitely not agree.In this way, the princess will be offended.The princess has a pungent personality and will take revenge if she has a grudge, so she will definitely make trouble for herself in the future.So the servant ran to the cat market, and almost picked up a black cat for nothing.

The little black cat is not welcome, and the cat seller would like to starve it to death.As a result, the kitten was skinny and was bullied by other cats.When it was delivered to Zhao Tan, he was still injured.The house slave said in embarrassment that he found this black cat after running all over the cat market.Zhao Tan was overjoyed and rewarded the slave with a silver coin.

Zhao Tan is a princess with rough lines. She doesn't like to be soft and weak like other princesses.Seeing other people hugging and making pets intimate, she also felt disgusted.

She only thought about how to scare Cao Yuzan with this black cat, but after raising it, she found that this little thing is very cute.So I fell in love with it.No longer laughing at others, but pampering them even more.Eat together, sleep together, bathe together, never leave your side.Sometimes I take the little black cat out to compare and exchange with other people's little pets.

……

Jingxingfang, Dun'an Hutong.

It doesn't matter what this alley was called in the past. Since Cao Yuzhan secretly ordered Hong Dun to buy this alley, the original residents here can no longer enter this alley.At this time, Cao Renfeng and other family members of a group of spies lived here.Although they left the impoverished countryside and came to the bustling capital, this group of people, without exception, lost their freedom.

This morning, the sky was gloomy, and two big horses drove a parallel cart to the entrance of Dun'an Hutong.The little eunuch grabbed the reins and the carriage stopped.A red-robed officer pointed his head and looked towards the archway at the entrance of the alley.When you see the words "Dun'an Hutong", you know that this is Hong Dun's handwriting.

Su Yu sighed, feeling that Hong Dun was ridiculous.

Downstairs at the entrance of the alley, guarded by Jingtong guards, all of them are Hong Dun's people at a glance.

"Open the door, Commander-in-Chief will go in for inspection." The captain of the retinue, Wu Shajin, said.

The guard opened the door, stood at attention, and saluted.

Su Yu waved his finger at them, which was regarded as a return gift, and immediately Tong Yu drove into the alley.

In the middle of the alley, Su Yu got out of the car, looked around, and felt that this place was more like a prison.There are guards guarding every door.Except for the guards, there was no one in the alley.

Then Su Yu came to the gate of Cao Renfeng's house and asked the guard, "Is the Cao family there?"

"Return to Commander, all are here."

"They stay at home like this all day?"

"Yes, Master Su."

"If they want to go out, what should they do?"

"Hong Jian ordered that you are not allowed to take half a step out of the gate."

"What if we go out?"

The guard looked at his words, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The young ones dare not disobey the orders of Hong Jian, and they must be carried out. If they come out, the young ones will persuade them to return. If they refuse to return, they will be served with sticks."

Su Yu folded his hands behind his back, thinking: This is simply nonsense.

Su Yu stood at the door and looked into the room.The Cao family all wore brocade clothes, and it is said that their food is also very good.From then on, you don't have to worry about food and clothing.But the problem is, if this house arrest continues, some people will go crazy after a long time.

Not everyone can stand such loneliness.

These people are family members of spies, and if something goes wrong with them, it is likely to affect the spies.

Then Su Yu went to sit down in the small office building at the entrance of the alley, and read the "Dun'an Rules" drawn up by Hong Dun. After reading it, he took a copy, took it to the military academy, and bent over his desk to revise it.Su Yu wouldn't talk to Hong Dun, it would be a waste of time, so it's better to talk to the Queen Mother directly.Save time to see her speechless.

At the moment of the unitary hour, Su Yu came to see the queen mother as usual.There is no spy list today, and Su Yu looks rather melancholy, as if something big happened.

Cao Yuzan was sitting on the couch, a black kitten was lying beside her, and the kitten was sleeping peacefully.

Seeing the kitten, Su Yu was taken aback. Rumor has it that Cao Yuzan doesn't like hairy things, why is he still raising cats today?
Seeing Su Yu's doubts, Cao Yuzan smiled and said, "The little girl of Prince Kang's family has no good intentions, but she wants to use this dog to frighten Ai's family. But she never thought that her actions would allow Ai's family to find a pet Look at this little black, it looks like black jade as a whole, as if it has no hair. I liked it the first time I saw it. Since then, it has been mine."

To put it bluntly, Su Yu felt that Zhao Tan was quite pathetic. Not only did her "trick" fail to succeed, but she also failed to make money by stealing chickens.

It can be seen that Cao Yuhan still doesn't like hairy things.She said she liked it, but she didn't touch the cat.Maybe she was just playing with people, and Zhao Tan, who was careless and careless, ended in a complete defeat in front of her.

It's a pity that Cao Yuzan brought a group of royal daughters into the palace, and they all became her playthings.

Other people's pets are cats and dogs, and her pets are people.
