Chapter 1221: The Pearl of the Sea (Part 1)

"Sir..." The young woman's voice was soft and sweet, her eyes were clear, and she looked at Cao Yong with a little hope.

Nalanfusen coughed lightly, glanced at Cao Yong in a narrow way, and said, "I'm a little drunk, I'll go find someone to ask for a bowl of sobering soup..." Then, he got up and went out.

Cao Yong felt quite strange in his heart. This slim woman did not have the dusty smell of a woman in the entertainment industry, and her whole body was clean and refreshing. Although her eyes were very enthusiastic, it was not like the obsession of an ordinary woman, but there was something else in it.

Cao Yong is not unfamiliar with this kind of look.

Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng's eyes, Niu Niu, Tianhui's eyes, that is a kind of admiration.

Cao Yong became more and more surprised, and did not ask Tiao Niang to enter. His eyes narrowed slightly and said, "Have you heard of me?"

"Yeah." Tiao Niang replied softly: "The Lord is an important minister of the court. Tiao'er once heard others mention the name of the Lord." As she spoke, her eyes were red and she said: "Everyone said that Lord Cao is the most loyal, his friends are sincere, and he treats others kindly... He treats several adopted sons, adopted sons, and is not as good as his biological sons..."

Cao Yong is not a young boy without a wink. Naturally, he would not think that his slim girl is so slim, but was moved by her so-called "loyalty" and "kindness".

He couldn't help but look at the slim mother carefully, looking at the gentle and weak girl, but there was a dullness between her eyebrows and eyes.

Trouble is here.

"Come in and talk." Cao Yong glanced at Slim Lady and said.

Upon hearing this, the tiny girl nodded vigorously and entered the room.

Cao Yong did not close the door, pointed to a stool, and sat down with his mother.

But the tiny girl did not take her seat immediately, but knelt down at Cao Yong...

The Han woman did not have the custom of a Manchu girl not kneeling on her parents' faces. The slim woman knelt down to the ground, saying, "The niece has met Uncle Cao." As she said that, she kowtowed to the ground.

This was a very heavy courtesy, but Cao Yong had no sense of relief. Instead, he looked at the slim mother's head, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

Even the "uncle" was called, who knew what shocking words this slim girl would say next?

Cao Yong was shocked and suspicious, but he didn't dare to make a promise. What the woman said was false.

Recently, there are rumors that there is a shortage of the Dali Temple Minister, and the most likely person to be promoted is Ma Jun, the young minister of the Dali Temple who was praised by the emperor.

Ma Jun's father-in-law was a local official promoted by Yongzheng himself; his biological uncle also served as an official in the Ministry of Revenue in his early years and had an old age with the emperor.

With such a background, and his willingness to endure hardships, he entered the officialdom for 17 or 8 years, and his political performance evaluation was excellent, and the emperor liked it was no exception.

Although the emperor had the intention of attacking Han officials, he not only did not regard the high position and power of Han officials, but the most feared was "fame" and "people's expectations".

If any minister really responds to his response, he may not be able to sleep.

Although Ma Jun is a child of an official, his family has withered and no one in his relatives can support him. Although he is from the imperial examination, he can be released from his position and has been mourning for a long time. He has not had close contact with those who are "in the same year" and "members".

Yongzheng naturally couldn't be happy to promote such ministers and divide them into old ministers.

At this time, a Hunan woman appeared and called Cao Yong "uncle". How could Cao Yong not be surprised?

"Miss, please get up and talk." Cao Yong said in a faint voice.

After hearing this, the slim mother raised her head, with a little stubbornness and misery on her face, and she choked and said, "Maybe Lord Cao thinks that her little girl has not been raised in the boudoir and is despised... If my mother hadn't been seriously ill and had to continue her family and have no way to borrow, the little girl would not have been deceived by an unscrupulous blind date. However, the little girl said clearly that the reason why she fell to this awkward state was now.

This woman is smart.

Looking at her carefully, she was indeed a little kind-faced between her eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes were slightly raised, looking a little like Ma Jun.

Cao Yong was a little uneasy and asked, "Is Tiao Mom your real name?"

The tiaoniang shook her head and said, "This is the name changed by the head teacher of the Qutech class. The little girl's surname is Ma, her name is Chengyuan. She succeeds and becomes famous and famous, and Shuyuan's "Yuan".

Although it was not "Si Jun" or "Nian Lang" or something, Cao Yong did not feel at all relaxed.

Ma Jun, whose courtesy name is Tiancheng.

Ma Tiancheng’s daughter?

Cao Yong's eyes were a little deep, and he said, "Why do you call me 'uncle'..."

After hearing this, the slim mother burst into tears, bit her lip and said, "The little woman regards herself as an adult, because she knows that the adult is a girl who has been married..."

Seeing that she was excited, her body was like a sieve, and her eyes were filled with confusion and resentment, Cao Yong had already believed what she said.

Thinking about Xiangjun and Yuanjun who were well-educated, and looking at the stubborn and helpless girl in front of him, Cao Yong really couldn't stand his heart.

But from a relationship perspective, he is not a saint after all. Compared with the poor girl who may be Ma Jun's illegitimate daughter, he is more serious than Ma Jun.

He thought for a while and said, "Have you mentioned these words to others?"

The slim girl shook her head and said, "I dare not say it."

Cao Yong was about to ask her if she had any tokens. If she had such an empty talk, wouldn't it be a joke if she made a mistake?

I saw the slim girl turn around, tick in front of her clothes for a while, then turn around, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and presenting it to Cao Yong with both hands.

This is a plain square plaque, but there are two blue cloud patterns in the lower right corner. Such a simple thing is not like a boudoir, but like a square plaque that men often use.

Where can Cao Yong see what?

Even though he is a long-time friend of Ma Jun, he has always been together for a long time and is a man, so he would not have thought of paying attention to what kind of veil the other party uses.

The veil is 80% new, with needle holes at four corners, and one of them has half a thread that falls on the veil.

It seems that the slim mother takes this veil very seriously and usually uses needles and threads to tie the inside of her clothes.

Her "dare not to say" just now, and her behavior of carefully keeping this veil, seemed to be afraid that others would become evil and take away her "token"; it also showed pitiful disconfidence, and she was afraid that the Ma family would not recognize her without this veil.

This is Ma Jun's family matter. Even if the woman said it was true, it was indeed Ma Jun's bloodline. Cao Yong would not recognize his niece before passing by Ma Jun.

But it would be inappropriate to leave the galamor in the tiger's and wolf's den and let the class master arrange to serve the powerful.

Even though he knew it was a bit tricky, Cao Yong could only take the matter down first.

He raised his hand and called Tiao Niang to get up, and asked a few more questions. It was nothing more than that she knew her father's name, so why didn't she go directly to the Ma family to find someone or something.

It turned out that when Tiao Niang's biological mother died of illness, Tiao Niang was only ten years old. She only knew her father's name and knew that her father was a Beijing official, so she also had the idea of ​​looking for a relative.

As I grew older in the music technician class, I learned a lot that I realized that I was not a good official daughter, but a married woman, and was worse than a concubine.

There was a friend in the class who was similar to Tiao Niang. She was a concubine of the Sichuan Fushen family. She was unwilling tolerated by her mother. When her father was not at home, she was quietly taken out and sold to passers-by human traffickers and was taken thousands of miles away.

In addition, what we have seen and heard in recent years, the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate are the causes of various incidents, and the most indispensable part is the vicious means.

Although Tiao Niang had never seen her mother, she seemed to her that her mother was weak and would not allow such concubines to enter. The mother was also the legendary "shin woman". After her father entered Beijing, she lost the news, which made it understandable. She must have been controlled by her fierce wife.

How dare she fall into the trap? She can only ask about the matter with the Ma family in private. She has heard people mention the friendship between Ma, the Cao family, and Cao Yong's character...

In a corner of the flower hall, He Shan said embarrassedly: "Brother, don't be bothered, I really have no choice... My brother also knows that the salary of the court is not enough to chew it? The emperor couldn't get sand in his eyes, so everyone didn't dare to reach out, so he had to think of something else. The brothers arranged this table, thinking that everyone would eat two more times and get closer to friendship and speak again. Lord Cao couldn't erase the affection and might be willing to help... He had no other bad intentions, and wanted to plot against which one..."

Nalanfusen shook his head in disapproval and said, "Furu is not a stereotype. You should ask him for help and say it bluntly. If he can help, he can help. If he can't help, he can't help with two meals of wine. If he has a friendship, he will give it to a woman. This will make people feel like an outspoken and damage the relationship he was working together. Furuo really wants to attract external favors, and he will not be able to stay with the princess for the past few years. Even if he knows that he is not interested in women, he still makes trouble, so what's the use of this?"

He Shan knew that Nalanfusson was right and felt a little regretful.

If he talked to Cao Yong openly, even if he didn't help, he would just complain in person, and would not leave any grudges. If Cao Yong said this with such a silly head, he would not only hurt his face, but also hurt his feelings.

He cursed his friend who proposed to have sex with wine salad in his heart.

He was hesitating whether he would immediately look for Cao Yong and directly explain what he wanted, when he saw his own manager coming in, his expression a little strange.

"Aren't you having dinner with others in the concierge?" Heshan asked.

Everyone came to the banquet, and there were many servants around him. Heshan sent people to the doorman to deliver two tables of food, and asked his supervisor to arrange to entertain the servants.

The manager glanced at Nalanfusson and did not directly answer.

Seeing this, Nalanfusson stood up to avoid it.

He Shan couldn't stand this, so he hurriedly stopped him and said to the manager impatiently: "If you have a fart, please let it go. This is Mr. Nalan, not someone else."

The manager did not dare to delay any more, so he lowered his throat and replied: "Master, Lord Cao sent someone to call Manager Zhang of Cao's Mansion. I don't know what he ordered. Manager Zhang did not return the seat, so he rode a horse and took people back to Cao's Mansion..."

The manager Zhang who he mentioned was Zhang Yi, the old man next to Cao Yong.

Nalanfusen and Heshan have known Cao Yong for many years, and naturally they know that Zhang Yi is not an ordinary servant.

"Why is this?" He Shan was a little confused.

Since it was not the Cao Mansion who sent someone over, it would not be the matter there. Otherwise, it would not be the housekeeper who went back, but Cao Yong himself.

Heshan and Nalanfusen looked at each other and suddenly remembered that Cao Yong had not come back for so long after his slim mother.
