Chapter 13 Homecoming
"Master, master!" Xiuyuan saw Cao Yong sitting by the bed in a daze, and called out anxiously.
"Oh, what's the matter, what's the matter, sir!" Grandma Sun said in a crying voice.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Hurry up and tell the wife! If something happens to the uncle, we can take care of it!" Cao Fang said slightly annoyed.
Cao Yong was confused when he heard it, and turned his head and said: "Don't go, it's okay!" After finishing speaking, he looked on the bed.Wan Yunlong's body shrank a lot like a leaky bag, and his face was covered with layers of wrinkles.He smiled at the corner of his mouth, his face was peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep, but the stiff arms drooping to the side of the bed indicated that he had been gone for a long time.
Cao Yong only felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, raised his hand and stroked his chest, and there was a foreign object in the palm of his hand.Fang Fang thought of the bits and pieces just now, and felt very unreal.This is the plum blossom finger, the token of Hongmen's helm that Wan Yunlong said.
To meet the legendary martial arts figures, Cao Yong had a faint expectation.Not to mention that every man has a martial arts dream, isn't it what he is looking forward to to be able to exercise his body and avoid the fate of premature death.What kind of martial arts cheats, passing on one's inner strength, even if you ask someone to give something, you should give some thanks, why is this old man so rude.Forget it, the dead is the big one, so why bother with him.Cao Yong comforted himself like this.
"Don't scare mother, buy a coffin and bury it at dawn!" Cao Yong suppressed his melancholy and disappointment, and told Cao Fangdao beside him, and he was stunned after speaking.He touched his throat, and it was still a little itchy, but it was not as swollen and painful as before. He still spoke hoarsely, but he was able to speak completely.
"Dahongshan, Wu Tiancheng!" Cao Yong looked at Wan Yunlong's remains, secretly wrote down the address and name he mentioned, and said silently in his heart: "You can go at ease, although you have never met before, you will definitely live up to your trust!"
The sound of the watchman's clapper was heard in the distance, it was already the fourth watch.Although Cao Yong didn't feel sleepy, other people in the room were holding on. Cao Fang repeatedly mentioned that it is unlucky for someone to die in the room, so please go back to the inner courtyard.Cao Yong took one last look at Wan Yunlong, nodded, and let the two servants carry him away.
Jiangning, Weaving Mansion.
The sky was getting brighter outside the window, Cao Yin reached out his hand and took out his pocket watch from under the pillow to look at it.I just returned to Jiangning the day before yesterday, and yesterday I was busy welcoming the imperial envoys from the capital to give medicine. Intermittent ointment" and other medicines.I don't know how my wife and children are doing in Hangzhou. The mother and son spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, which is too deserted.Thinking of this, Cao Yin turned his head and looked at the strand of black hair beside the pillow, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
The day before yesterday, when I went back to the mansion to see the old lady, I presumed that Mrs. Li was not feeling well, and the mother and son would come back in a few days.The old lady didn't see her grandson, and was full of displeasure, so she couldn't help but get angry with Mrs. Li, just remembering that Liuli hadn't taken over the house yet, so she took advantage of the festival to open her face.
"Master, you're awake!" Liu Li blushed, lowered her eyebrows and put on her clothes, and got out of bed: "I will wait for you to get up!"
As a new bride, last night Cao Yin was very aggressive after drinking, Liuli had some trouble walking, her brows were slightly frowned, and her appearance was very pitiful.
Cao Yin couldn't bear it, and while letting Liuli put on himself, he said: "When it's dawn, after seeing the old lady and your sisters, rest, and order the kitchen to make some black chicken soup."
Liuli responded in a low voice, with indescribable joy.Counting all over the house, which maid is lucky to have her?The master is dignified, the wife is a kind person like a Bodhisattva, the two aunts are honest and responsible, and I was trained by the old lady.From now on, the natal brothers can be regarded as uncles, who would dare to underestimate them.If you have a strong stomach and have a man and a half woman, then the benefits in the future can't be explained clearly.
Li Shi, who is far away in Hangzhou, doesn't know that her husband has taken a new love, even if she knows, she shouldn't be surprised.Since it was ordered by the old lady early on, everyone will come in early and late.
On August [-]th, Mrs. Li heard from Grandma Sun that a thief broke into the front yard last night and died in the yard, chanting "Amitabha".Originally, she wanted to order her servants to report to the officials, but she agreed when she heard her son wanted to bury the man.
Cao Yong tossed and turned in the middle of the night and didn't sleep until dawn, so he didn't wake up until noon.Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son and didn't urge him to do so. She just told people to prepare food and prepare it in the kitchen.
After Cao Yong had lunch, he remembered Wan Yunlong's funeral, and called someone to call Cao Fang over. Knowing that he had been buried, he asked about the place of burial, and kept it in his heart.
On August 20th, the doctor who was in charge of taking care of Cao Yong's condition came back from Zhuangzi outside the city to change the dressing for Cao Yong's wound.After carefully inspecting Cao Yong's wound, the doctor looked happy and said that the broken bone healed well, and he should be able to walk on the ground in a few days.Li Shi was full of joy and asked someone to pay a reward of [-] taels of silver.
Cao Yong was very happy to know that his injury was getting better. His legs and feet have been inconvenient for nearly a month, and now he has an indescribable energy all over his body.In the past, I could sit in a chair, read and write with peace of mind, but now I feel like running and jumping.
Cao Yong's leg injury healed faster than the doctor expected, and when the imperial medicine from Jiangning arrived, he was already able to walk two steps on the bed.Because of the sore throat, Cao Yong has been using snow lotus these days, but the ones sold outside can't compare to the royal tributes.According to the doctor's advice, Cao Yong's voice recovered after a few days of eating.Coupled with external application of tiger bone ointment, almost healed.
On August 26, Li left Hangzhou with Cao Yong and Liu Ping and returned to Jiangning.Two honest family members stayed here in Hangzhou Bieyuan to watch over. Because Zhang Gen's family took good care of Liu Ping, Mrs. Li ordered several members of their family to accompany her.Although Mrs. Li has repeatedly emphasized not to show off, the maidservants also used five or six carriages.Cao Yong was most reluctant to let go of Master Song in Hangzhou. He once earnestly asked Master Song to accompany him, but Master Song wanted to take care of his father and was unwilling to travel far. The teacher and student had no choice but to say goodbye.
The weather is getting cooler day by day, and it is safe and sound to follow the official path all the way.The last time he came to Hangzhou, Cao Yong traveled by water. This time he was on land, and he was very curious about the outside world.When I get tired of riding in a carriage, I want to ride a horse.Mrs. Li couldn't resist him, so she ordered Cao Fang to take him.Seeing that her brother was outside, little Liu Ping kept raising the curtain to look around.Li Shi was originally worried about his son's legs and throat, but now they are all healed, and he feels much more at ease, so he pampers him even more.
On August 17, Mrs. Li and his party arrived in Suzhou.Li's cousin Suzhou Weaving Li Xu had already got the news, and asked his two sons, Li Nai and Li Ding, to bring people out of the city to meet him.Li Shi was originally Li Xu's cousin, but because her father died young, she had no siblings, so she grew up in Li Xu's residence since she was a child.The two siblings are [-] years apart, and Li Xu raised his younger sister as his daughter.Li's widowed mother, Gao, accompanied her sister-in-law Wen, eating fast and praying to Buddha in the inner courtyard.
Li Nai is the eldest son of Li Xu. When Li got married, he was only seven or eight years old, but now he is 20 years old.Li Dingshili, although he is a concubine, is very lively and lovely because of the love of his father and brother.
After Cao Yong was kidnapped, the Li Mansion once sent people to search inside and outside the Suzhou Mansion, so Li Nai knew about his cousin's abduction.But when relatives reunite after a long absence, how can they say those disappointing words.
When Li Shi and others entered the city and arrived at the Li Mansion, Li Xu's mother Wen Shi, Li Shi's mother Gao Shi, and Li Xu's wives and concubines were all waiting.After being married for 12 years, Mrs. Lee returned to her natal home for the first time, with tears in her eyes. She brought her son to kowtow to her aunt Wen first, and then greeted her mother Gao and her sisters-in-law.Wen Shi and Gao Shi saw Cao Yong for the first time, and heard that he had suffered a serious crime a few days ago, they hugged each other, crying "darling baby", feeling distressed.It was noisy, and it took a while to calm down to talk.Knowing that their grandson was fine, the two old ladies were thankful, and only then did they notice the clever little girl with almond-shaped eyes following behind Mrs. Li.Because it is related to the reputation of the Cao family, it is inconvenient for Li to disclose Liu Ping's real identity, but to hide the identity of Cao Quan's daughter, and only talked about the part where Hangzhou helped Cao Yong.
The two old ladies originally liked the little girl because she was cute and clever, but when they heard that she was the little benefactor of their grandson, with a poor background, they became more and more fond of her, and asked people to prepare gifts in large and small packages for her.
On the same day, Li Xu held a family banquet to greet Li's mother and son.He is a few years older than Cao Yin, slightly fatter, and more official than Cao Yin.A few years ago, during Emperor Kangxi's southern tour, Li Xu accompanied him to Jiangning and met his nephew Cao Yong.Right now, seeing that his body is recovering and he is acting generously and properly, I feel very fortunate in my heart.
The news of Cao Yong's kidnapping spread to the capital, and the emperor was furious, and withdrew the governor of Zhejiang, and then the prefect of Hangzhou, wrote in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, cracked down on Xiaoxiao, and rectified the law and order in the province.The mere local ruffian, and what is the governor's prefect doing, it's just to vent his anger, and there is more or less the intention of comforting Cao Yin.The Cao family has been in Jiangnan for 40 years, and Cao Yin is still only a fifth-rank official to the outside world.Among the companions of Kangxi, Cao Yin is well-known for both civil and military skills. If he stayed in Beijing as an official, he would have already entered the cabinet as a prime minister.Cao Yin was conscientious and conscientious, acting as the emperor's eyes and ears in the south of the Yangtze River, without any complaints.Despite the great power in his hands, the most valuable thing is that he keeps in mind his duty as a courtier. Over the years, he has not surpassed the slightest bit. Even when his only son was kidnapped, he did not use the power of the General Secretary.
If Cao Yong knew about this, he would be surprised. Isn't this the ancient "strike hard"!
Cao Yong followed his mother and stayed in Suzhou for three days. Cao Fu, the housekeeper of the Cao family, brought people to Suzhou to pick up his wife and young master back to the house.It was the old lady who was talking about her grandson and urged him again and again, and ordered Cao Fu to go to Suzhou to pick him up.Cao Yin delayed for a few days, fearing that the old lady would become suspicious, so he ordered Cao Fu to go slowly all the way and wait for his wife and them in Suzhou.Because Cao Yong recovered quickly from his injury, he set off from Hangzhou earlier than Cao Yin expected, so he arrived in Suzhou a few days earlier than Cao Fu.
Mrs. Li was away from home for more than a month, and she was very worried. She talked to the two old wives and her cousin, and returned to Jiangning the next day.
Because of the Sun family's old matriarch, Li Xu couldn't stay anymore, so he borrowed two official ships from the Suzhou government to send Li's mother and son back by water.In addition to preparing various gifts for Cao Yong and Liu Ping, there is also a copy for Cao Yan, and the gifts from the top and bottom of the Cao family are also prepared.Wen Shi and Gao Shi sent two decent women to accompany Li Shi to Jiangning to pay respects to Mrs. Sun and help Li Shi lie.
Perhaps because Mrs. Li gradually understood the rules, little Liu Ping was no longer clinging to Cao Yong as in the past. During the few days on the boat, she began to learn embroidery from Xiang Cao.Xiangcao is the second girl of Zhang Gen's family, ten years old, originally called Erxiang.Seeing that she was quiet and honest, Mrs. Li asked her to be Liu Ping's personal maid, and renamed her Xiangcao.
