Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Soon Cao De ordered someone to hitch the carriage and come to pick up Cao Anmin and go home to rest.  Before Cao De left, he apologized to Hua Tuo for his attitude just now and presented five ingots of gold as a medical fee.

    If it were in the past, Cao De might be able to deceive Hua Tuo with his pretentiousness.  But now his actions made Hua Tuo feel a little disgusted.  Hua Tuo, who was in a daze, did not come back to his senses until he sent Cao De and others away.  He never thought that Cao De, a bookworm who was highly praised in Qiao County, was actually a sanctimonious hypocrite who wanted to collude with strong men to kill his own nephew!

    The more Hua Tuo thought about it, the more frightened he became. Under the warm veil of this wealthy family, there was all cold hostility and bloody hatred!

    Hua Tuo wanted to report it to Cao Ang immediately, but he had no evidence.  After all, Cao De and Cao Ang are uncles and nephews. Their broken bones are connected to their tendons. How could Cao Ang believe what he said as an outsider? How could he believe that his biological uncle would harm him?

    Besides, Hua Tuo estimated the time and Cao Ang should have left the county seat of Qiao County and was on his way home.  If I go out of the city to catch up, walking at night will not be very peaceful, and there is no one to take care of the patients in the hospital, so I can't rest assured.  Anyway, I heard the meaning of Cao De's words, and I would not take action in the next few days. In three days, Cao Ang would enter the city to meet me, and it would not be too late to remind Cao Ang then.

    Not to mention Hua Tuo¡¯s inner entanglement and uneasiness, Cao Ang and the others finally returned home when it was dark.  As soon as he entered the house, Cao Ren anxiously hugged his newly bought maid and left quickly.

    Cao Ang smiled and shook his head, and whispered to Lao Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, this uncle of mine is so out of tune. Now that I'm home, I should also report it to Madam so as not to worry her. I wanted to give it to you on the way.  Buy some fine wine, but we came back late and everyone has closed the stall. There are two gold here, you can use it to sell wine, it is a small favor from me!"

    Lao Zhao has been following Cao Ang for most of the day, knowing that Cao Song had just rewarded Cao Ang with ten golds at the auction, seven of which were used to buy the two little maids, one gold was paid for the deed, and only two gold were left.  Moreover, Lao Zhao also knew that Cao Ang only made half a month in the past. Even two gold was not a small number for Cao Ang.

    Although Lao Zhao was not an ordinary slave, he still felt warm in his heart when he took the two ingots of gold that Cao Ang forced into his hands.  He did not refuse again and again, but solemnly saluted Cao Ang and drove away in his carriage.

    Cao Ang didn't look at Lao Zhao walking away before he smiled at the two little girls and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, follow me to see the madam. From now on, you two will stay in the madam's room and beat her back."  Madam is very kind and righteous to her servants, you two should be more diligent and don¡¯t embarrass me"

    Cao Ang walked all the way and talked. The two little girls nodded repeatedly. Xiao Yi also introduced the rules of Cao's house. Soon the four of them arrived outside Madam Ding's courtyard.  At this time, an oil lamp had been lit in the room, giving off a faint light.  Xiao Yi and the two little girls stayed outside to wait, and Cao Ang strode in.

    Hearing the noise coming from outside, Mrs. Ding thumped her waist and stood up from the spinning machine.  Seeing that the visitor was Cao Ang, Mrs. Ding complained: "You kid, why are you back just now? Come over and eat quickly, I've already let you heat it up on the stove two or three times!"

    As Mrs. Ding spoke, she lifted a veil from several cases.  There are two side dishes, a large bowl of rice, and a bowl of white porridge.  She tested the temperature of the porridge, nodded slightly, and said to Cao Ang, who was still standing aside: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you eat quickly! You, you always don't let me worry, you used to know how to study hard  , I can¡¯t even drive her out of the house; now I only know how to play when I go out, and I don¡¯t know how to come back early.¡±

    Although Mrs. Ding complained repeatedly, Cao Ang felt warm in his heart, as if he had returned to his mother in later generations.  He hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down beside the table, picked up the rice and put it into his mouth. While he was eating the rice, he couldn't help but shed tears.

    Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "You kid, why are you crying?" She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Cao Ang's tears, then raised her chopsticks and put several chopsticks into his rice bowl.

    Seeing Cao Ang eating deliciously, Mrs. Ding laughed happily: "Aang, no one is trying to compete with you. Eat slowly and don't choke. Your father is not at home, and you don't have to follow the rule of 'eating without speaking'  . If you have any fun things to do in the city today, tell me."

    Cao Ang smiled and said to Mrs. Ding: "Madam, I saw my grandfather today. He also praised me a lot and increased your monthly allowance to eight guan and mine to five guan! All this money is  For his family to pay for it is a compliment to us."

    Mrs. Ding looked at Cao Ang's expression of offering a treasure, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, "What did you kid do? To make your grandfather value you so much! He doesn't often praise his children and grandchildren, and sometimes he is always nervous  Face. Don¡¯t show off.Okay, tell me quickly.  "

    So Cao Ang explained everything that happened in the city today in detail, and then he said with a smile: "Madam, my grandfather gave me ten gold coins today, and I used it to buy you two little maids.  I¡¯ll give you a pat on the back. You two came in and met Madam!¡±

    Cao Ang¡¯s last words were intentionally amplified. When the two little girls heard the shouting, they quickly walked into the house and fell to the ground: "Servants Liu Yu'er and Liu Xie'er pay homage to the mistress!"

    "Fish, crab?" Mrs. Ding couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Why are there two dish names?" Looking at the thin bodies and sallow faces of the two little girls, Mrs. Ding sighed, "Poor children.  , both of you are named Liu, are you from the same village?"

    Liu Yu'er was a little older, fifteen years old this year, and was not as shy as Crab'er, who was only ten years old. He bowed to Mrs. Ding and said, "What the mistress said is that we are both from Liujia Village.  The floods came and destroyed our village. We were lucky enough to survive, but we had no other ability but to sell ourselves into slavery so we could make ends meet."

    "Poor child!" Mrs. Ding sighed, "Since you have come to our Cao family, you are indispensable for your food. Your names are a bit rustic, so let's change the fish's name to Yu'er and the crab's name to Xie  Son."

    "You haven't thanked me, madam?" Cao Ang had already finished cooking and reminded him while drinking porridge.

    "Yu'er, Xie'er thank you madam!" The two little girls quickly made a blessing ceremony.

    Cao Ang said with a smile: "Madam, these two are not bad. I specially asked Uncle Zhao to help select two loyal people. Are you satisfied? They can beat your back now, and they can also help you spin when they grow up.  It saves you so much trouble!"

    Seeing that Cao Ang cared about her so much, Mrs. Ding was also very pleased. She smiled and said to the two little girls: "You two raise your heads, um, let's do this. Yu'er will stay with me and the monthly salary will be three hundred coins;  Xie'er was young, so she went to take care of Ang'er, and the monthly salary was set at two hundred and fifty yuan! Our Cao Mansion treats the servants well. Not only does it provide food and accommodation, but it also distributes spring and autumn fabrics every year. As long as you are more diligent,  It has its own benefits.¡±

    The two little girls nodded repeatedly, but at this moment Cao Ang shook his head and said: "Madam, I have Xiao Yi over there. I don't need anyone, so I'd better leave it to you! I bought these two maids in the hope that they can help you with your work.  , don¡¯t tire yourself.¡±

    "You kid, if I tell you, you can keep it! Xiao Yi is so clumsy, how can a maid be considerate!" Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "That's it, Xiao Yi, you take them two down to the stove  Go up and have something to eat. Later, we will take them to Aunt Li's place to find clean clothes to change into. Aunt Li is usually guarding my place, but she has a lot of things at home these past two days, so she has not been there much.  Here, Yu'er stays here and helps me with some chores."

    Xiao Yi quickly agreed and led Yu'er and Xie'er to the kitchen, explaining the rules of Cao's house to them in detail.

    Cao Ang had another conversation with Mrs. Ding. After all, he was ten years old and had walked a lot during the day. He soon fell asleep on Mrs. Ding's couch.

    Ding smiled and took a thin quilt and gently covered Cao Ang.  Just then Cao Ang turned over and muttered in a low voice: "Amu"

    Mrs. Ding felt sad for a while. She gently held Cao Ang's hand, patted Cao Ang's body, and whispered: "Amu is here, Amu is here. Ang'er is good, fell asleep, dog  Here comes the cat, Ang'er is asleep"

    It wasn¡¯t until Cao Ang fell asleep that Mrs. Ding slowly stopped and covered him with the quilt he had kicked away.  She sighed softly, kissed Cao Ang slowly on his forehead, picked up a small fan, and waved it gently to help him drive away mosquitoes.

    At this time, Aunt Li walked in. Seeing this, she whispered: "Madam, I have seen the two little girls. They don't have any serious diseases or many scars on their bodies. I heard from Xiao Yi that the young master still cares about their children."  There should be no problem with the deed of sale and the deed tax has been paid. But madam, Yu'er is older and can more easily take care of the young master, so why do you put the young and careless Xie'er next to the young master?"

    Aunt Li was Mrs. Ding¡¯s dowry maid, and later she was betrothed to the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion, and she was also regarded as Mrs. Ding¡¯s confidant.  Only she dared to question Ding's decision and had the courage to raise it in person.

    Mrs. Ding smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Now is the time for Ang'er to grow up and lay the foundation. You must not let it slip. Although Yu'er is sensible, she is old after all. If something happens in the future that shouldn't happen,  If we take the initiative to seduce Ang'er with our own thoughts, we will regret it when the time comes. As for Xie'er, although she is young and has nothing to do, she has experienced so many things and should have the due respect. Besides, Ang'er acts like a little adult every day.  , he also needs an innocent little girl to ease his emotions and make him more childlike."

      Aunt Li nodded repeatedly, "Madam is still more thoughtful. I have grown a lot older, and I am still not as experienced as Madam in doing things."

    Mrs. Ding smiled and said: "You old man, you are just more than ten years older than me, why do you say you are old? When Ang'er gets married and starts a business in the future, you will still accompany me to raise my grandson!"

    The two of them were talking and laughing, looking at the sleeping Cao Ang together, as if they were looking at a unique treasure. The night got deeper and deeper
