Chapter 1059-Chapter 1060 Food is the sky

Forbidden City, East School Field.

Hongzhou pulled Hongli and said, "Fourth brother, look, this guy Cao Lin is a bit abnormal?"

Hongli looked along his sight and saw Cao Lin holding the bow and arrow, looking sad, as if he was upset, and as if he was helpless.

Hongli took the bow and handed the bow to a haha ​​bead served by the side, walked over and said, "Don't you always like the archery class? Why are you not energetic today? Have you taken a month off and your heart is wild?"

Hongzhou also walked over and listened to Cao Lin's answer.

Cao Lin said: "It's nothing, it's just that my father was traveling far away yesterday, and the younger one was a little worried."

Hongli nodded and said, "I know that you have a good relationship with your father and son, but Lord Cao is on a business trip, and you are getting older, how can you be a child again?"

Speaking of identity, one of them is the master and the uncle; the other is the companion and the nephew. So after listening to Hongli's teachings, Cao Lin listened with his hands down.

Hongzhou blinked his eyes, but didn't believe it, and said, "The Fourth Brother treats you well, but you don't tell the truth. If Mr. Cao is just on a business trip, can you feel so uncomfortable? Is there any other reason, so why don't you tell me?"

Because it was his own business, Cao Lin was unwilling to speak in the palace and said, "Hehe" twice: "There is no other thing, it's just sunny things, and I can't open my eyes."

Hongzhou hummed twice, but did not let him go. He turned to Hongli and said, "I think it's probably because this kid wants to go out with Lord Cao. Lord Cao doesn't allow him, so he feels itchy here."

Seeing that Cao Lin was unwilling to say something and was unwilling to force him, Hongli said in a different way: "Hongpu has taken a long vacation, I don't know why? We should ask someone to inquire. If we are sick, we should go and have a look."

Cao Lin was beside him, and when he heard the mention of "Hongpu", he lowered his head, clenched his fist with his left hand, and knocked his right hand hard.

With this unscrupulous move, I drew an empty lottery when I was drawing lots with my brother last night, and the opportunity to travel with my father was to let my brother go.

However, when he thought about his brother's failure, he was unhappy a few days ago, so he realized himself again, thinking that it was his brother who should have gone there, and he shouldn't even draw lots...

The sun is dusk, west of Beijing, Zhuozhou, in front of the post station.

Tianyou tied the reins and panted heavily, feeling stiff all over, and was powerless to dismount himself.

Seeing this, Wei Hei felt very distressed and stepped forward to help Tianyou's arm and helped him get off the horse.

Tianyou felt the fire between his legs, and looked at Hongpu in front of him with a embarrassed expression.

Hongpu is stronger than Tianyou, so he jumped off his horse, but when he walked, his posture was a bit strange.

Cao Yong was beside him, looking at the two half-grown children, rolled his eyes. Three thousand miles from the capital to Gansu, today is the first day. He turned around and saw two carriages with the suffix of the horse team. The carriage in front was smaller and the one behind was slightly larger. In addition to the coachman, there were two servants sitting on the edge of the carriage.

The children were still young, and they were still stable in carriages. Hongpu was noisy and insisted on riding a horse. Even Tianyou, who was usually sensible, begged him sincerely.

He asked his two children to ride. Chen Chu set out from the capital, got on the station in Fangshan at noon, and walked dozens of miles to Zhuozhou in the afternoon.

According to the speed of the officials' travel, this day is considered a 120-mile radius.

Cao Yong and his group rode together, prepared a good horse, but did not change horses from the post station. It was really that Gansu was too far from the capital, so he didn't want to delay the road for too long.

Cao Yong had a good relationship with the Sixteenth Prince, and Tianyou and Hongpu were also familiar with each other. The two young men looked at each other, and they were both bitter. Not to mention riding all the way to Gansu, it would be different whether they could climb up the horse tomorrow.

"Second...Second uncle, let's take the bus tomorrow!" Tianyou whispered.

He originally wanted to be called "Second Prince". He remembered the orders of the first sixteenth prince who left Beijing in the morning and changed his words.

Hongpu thought about saying big talk in the morning, and felt a fever on his face and said in a muffled voice: "I'll talk about it tomorrow."

The postmaster had come up to him, and then Zhang Yi took Cao Yong's famous post and went through the relevant procedures.

Four rooms are best for private yards.

For second-rank seniors, it’s nothing to have more rooms. It’s just that here is close to the capital, with many officials coming and going, and there are no separate courtyards.

It is strange that he is both a businessman and a brother-in-law and son.

Although the Yicheng thought it was strange, he was respectful but he did not lose any loss. He killed chickens and ducks and asked someone to prepare supper.

After Hongpu finished washing, he went to the kang, not wanting to move.

During this trip, he only brought a servant, one of the two servants sitting in the carriage, named Qingha; the other servant was called Chuhe, and was Tianyou's servant.

In the past, in the palace, there were more than a dozen maids and mothers beside him, but this time he went out, he didn't let any one of them be taken. Even the two little eunuchs and four servants were allowed to take only one.

This is what Cao Yong meant. He didn't know how Cao Yong said to his Ama, but Ama just agreed.

Although Qingma had never been close to him, she was smart and hugged Hongpu's changing clothes and said, "Master, you should rest first, and I will go find someone to wash clothes."

Hongpu waved his hand powerlessly and sent him out.

Qingma walked to the door and happened to meet Tianyou, saying, "Uncle Cao."

Tianyou glanced at his arms and said, "Chuhe also needs someone to do laundry, you can go with him."

The green clam bowed and responded, and went to look for the hoe and didn't mention it.

Hearing him speak, Hongpu has already stood up, pointed to the bag in his hand, and said, "What is that?"

Tianyou sighed and said, "A just came to the government in Beijing. My father told me to let me go to the room and come to my second uncle..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Yong followed in and said, "Second... Second brother, I was negligent. I was away from home and there were many inconveniences. If the room on the post station is tight, you two will be in the same place."

This title really made him extremely depressed.

The Sixteenth Prince made a special trip in the morning and said, "If you are away, call him according to your relatives to avoid revealing your identity and causing trouble." He laughed strangely.

Originally, Cao Yong could still act as a "cousin" in front of the Sixteenth Prince. In terms of relatives, he was the same generation as Hongpu.

Hongpu nodded, without saying anything beside him.

After Cao Yong finished speaking, he didn't stay much, but just asked their servant to go to the kitchen to pick up food, have a good rest after eating, and then left.

It was also hard to ride a horse for a day, and Hongpu only felt his stomach "gurgling".

Tianyou sat at the round table, turned around and looked out the door, and said, "Where have these two monkeys gone? Have you not come back yet?"

Hongpu said: "We were in trouble for a day, and they were both at ease."

After waiting for another cup of tea, it became dark outside. The room was already holding lights, and I saw the green clams and the hoe came back with the food box.

The fat chicken and the fat duck were so fucked. Hongpu didn't move at all, just a small crucian carp, two bites of rapeseed, and a bowl of rice, then put down the chopsticks.

Tianyou also uses it lightly.

Hongpu asked the two servants to take the rest of the food and use it.

It was the first time that both of them went out far away. With the excitement of the boy, they had enough food and their misfortune were reduced a little.

"It would be great if I could get to Xining. Qinghai is not peaceful, and the central army will head to Xining again." Hongpu lay on his arm and lay on the kang.

When Tianyou heard this, he said, "There is a war again? We probably won't go to Xining. Our master was ordered to inspect the military farms in Gansu." Speaking of this, he was a little curious: "The army of the Western Expedition is still here, are you going to fight again? A few years ago, the royal kings went to the northwest, and this time they were about the same? Will my uncle come?"

"Who knows?" Hongpu said, but a little hope arose in his heart.

He didn't understand why his father arranged for him to follow Cao Yong out of the capital. After all, he was only eleven, not fifteen or sixteen, and was not yet the age of working. Now he was thinking whether his father deliberately arranged this way, just to gather in the northwest for the father and son to take him to the army for his training...

Fangshan, Sunjiazhuangzi.

After a hunger strike for a day and failed to find a way to go home, Sun Ban finally couldn't stand it.

He opened the door weakly, stood at the door, and walked towards the two yard guards sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air: "Tell Butler Qu, I'll have a meal..."

The two guards did not get up, one ignored him, and the other said, "The housekeeper has given orders long ago, and there is no food if he doesn't go to work!"

Sun Ban wanted to shave these people thousands of times, but he was hungry and dared not throw a tantrum again. He begged in a low voice: "I'll both of you tell me about it and the butler. I used half a steamed bun last night, and today I haven't finished the rice and water, so I can't stand it. Could it be that Manager Qu really starved me to death?"

After hearing this, the two guards looked at him through the lights and saw that he was shaking, not like making a falsification. One got up and walked out, while the other was still sitting in the yard, humming a little song leisurely.

Seeing this, Sun Ban was so angry that he was so angry that he fainted.

What he is now in is not the woodshed of yesterday, but a yard in the middle of the village, with people living around the yard. The two yards in this yard live in the east wing, opposite him.

He wanted to escape last night, but the door of the house was locked at night. Even if he left the house, what could it be? This is the village courtyard, and there are dog kennels on all sides of the courtyard walls.

Manager Qu has taken him to stroll around the farm this morning. Looking at the big half-human-tall dog, his eyes are fierce, and he is tearing up the live chickens and ducks, how can he not make people's heart tremble?

I don’t know how long it took for General Manager Qu to arrive.

Behind him, in addition to the ward that he had just gone out, there was a servant holding a tray.

When the servant entered the room, he placed two large bowls on the table, one was stewed with meat and two white flour buns, and the other was radish with two corn flour cakes.

Smelling the smell of flesh, Sun Ban swallowed and spitted, and no longer cared about anything else. He grabbed it and then went to pick up the steamed buns.

Butler Qu stopped his arm and said, "Sun Wu, eat ten cents below and fifty cents above. After the meal, the meal will be calculated as five times."

Sun Ban was so hungry that he could not care about the other side. He nodded repeatedly, his eyes stuck to the bowl of meat. He still remembered his "maid" contract. The previous day's work was only 60 yuan.

Butler Qu no longer stopped him and watched him greedily.

Two steamed buns that were as big as fists and a large bowl of stewed meat, Sun Ban ate them cleanly and even drank all the broth at the bottom of the bowl...
