Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

Ning Shishi didn't pay much attention to the Cao family.

After all, it has nothing to do with her.

Her identity is to be a salted fish and die of old age.

At most, I can help the Fourth Master and his wife.

She is just a supporting role.

Going out today.

Ning Shishi was wearing men's clothes, riding a horse, and heading towards the capital with two followers.

Arrived at the intersection.

Met brother and sister Cao Yong and Cao Yan.

Cao Yan was dressed in men's clothes and was heading towards the capital.

What a coincidence!

Cao Yan looked at Ning Shishi with surprise. Wasn't this Geng Gege from the Fourth Master's Mansion under house arrest?

Is it really okay for you to go out like this?

"Aha, what a coincidence, you two are also returning to Beijing?" Ning Shishi clasped her fists to them.

"Ah, yes, what a coincidence, Brother Geng... is also going to the capital?" Cao Yan stepped forward and also gave a fist.

Cao Yong had never met Ning Shishi, but he understood after his sister reminded him.

The two sides exchanged a few words and went their separate ways.

Ning Shishi simply turned on the system and glanced at some details of the side story.

The Cao brothers and sisters have just finished mourning.

Their grandmother, Old Lady Sun, who was also Lao Kang's nanny, passed away.

After Cao Yong came out of mourning, he came to the capital to wait for an assignment. The Cao family was a bondservant of the Imperial Household Department.

The reason why I live in Zhuangzi is to avoid peach blossoms.

Historically, Cao Yong married Ma.

But he was a time traveler and had met Miss Ma once, but she was not his type at all.

Furthermore, the Ma family has participated in the battle for the throne in Kowloon and seems to be on the side of the Third Prince.

How could Cao Yong possibly choose a side at this point? If he had to choose a side, he would have chosen 44!

But the Ma family was too welcoming and they were old friends with the Cao family, so it was not easy to embarrass them in person, so he had to hide.

"Ding, side quest collected, do you want to accept it?"

Ning Shishi's body trembled.

Check the task instructions immediately.

Help Cao Yong, the protagonist of the side story of the Dream of the Red Chamber, to get rid of the entanglement of the girl from the Ma family after the banquet.

Cao Yong returned to Beijing this time because Lao Kang had issued an edict giving him a task.

Or the royal guard!

It can be seen that Lao Kang still favors the Cao family as before and does not neglect them because of the death of Old Lady Sun.

Now, not only will the other princes try their best to win him over, but the Ma family will not let him go!

Since he has been assigned the task and is an imperial guard, the Cao family will definitely hold a banquet and invite relatives and friends to celebrate.

Ning Shishi thought about it and accepted it.

She was free anyway.

There are still seventy or eighty years left in life!

It would be boring if I didn't find something to do.

It’s best to take on side quests, and you can also earn some extra money.

Something convenient.

If you want to help Cao Yong get rid of Miss Ma's entanglement after the banquet, then you must attend the banquet first.

But the Geng family and the Cao family are not related! Using the identity of the Fourth Master's Mansion?

It’s better not to cause trouble for the Fourth Master.

I guess there are countless eyes watching him now, and it seems that he will be deposed as the crown prince soon.

The current strategy of the Fourth Master's Mansion is to keep a low profile and accumulate strength in secret, but it cannot take the lead.

Got it!

Ning Shishi deliberately sped up her pace, walked side by side with Cao Yan, and occasionally exchanged a few words with him, trying to build a good relationship first!

When you visit, you won’t be afraid of embarrassment.

Ning Shishi went to Longfu Temple, had a meal, and then returned to Zhuangzi.

Five days later.

Cao's house held a banquet, and the place was full of guests and friends.

Those who had invitations and those who didn’t, those who should come and those who shouldn’t come, all came.

Especially the royal family.

Because of the relationship with Prince Ping, the fifteenth and sixteenth princes, who were about the same age as Cao Yong, and even the emperor's eldest grandson Hongxi came to make a presence.

It's really surprising.

Ning Shishi, dressed in men's clothing, handed over the invitation, which she had shamelessly asked Cao Yan for.

Just entered the gate.

Seeing that the Ma family treated them like their own family, they actually helped to welcome the guests.

You are really shameless.

Ning Shishi had already placed an observation particle on Cao Yong. Nothing that happened in the Cao residence escaped her eyes.

Fortunately, there was the Prince Ping's Mansion, and Concubine Cao Ying arranged manpower, so it was not too embarrassing.

Ugh!

It's really speechless that they are so eager to call themselves relatives.

Ning Shishi was welcomed into the living room of the outer courtyard. When she saw the people in the hall, her face twitched.

When the Sixteenth Prince saw the person coming, he opened his mouth in shock and almost blurted out "Geng Gege"!

Oh my goodness.

This woman from Fourth Brother's family was really too bold. He had followed Thirteenth Brother to that farm and happened to see Geng who was under house arrest.

At that time, Ning Shishi came back wearing men's clothes.

Both he and Thirteenth Brother were shocked.

I only found out later when I went to my fourth brother's house.

This Geng Gege was quite unlucky. She was the target of anger from someone in the palace and was said to have been under house arrest for almost two years.

And I didn't make any mistakes.

He almost died from an unexpected illness. After he finally recovered, he was blamed for no reason.

Fourth brother and his wife just turned a blind eye.

but!

Ni came to the capital so blatantly and even showed up at other people's banquets, not going to the inner courtyard but to the outer courtyard.

What on earth are you trying to do?

So should he file a complaint when he goes to Fourth Brother's house?

It’s so confusing!

Ning Shishi looked calm as she greeted the Sixteenth Prince.

The Fifteenth Prince and Prince Hongxi came over to see Cao Yong and then went back.

Only the Sixteenth Prince stayed to have the banquet.

He didn't want to return to the palace too early.

Talk about it.

Concubine Wang, the biological mother of the fifteenth and sixteenth princes, was a relative of the Li family. Cao Yong's mother was from the Li family and was a cousin of Concubine Wang.

Therefore, there is a reason for the two princes to come here.

Ning Shishi doesn't care about that.

Except for the Sixteenth Prince who knew her, everyone else looked unfamiliar.

no way.

She had to come to the outer courtyard to stop Cao Yong from being raped in time.

If I were a female relative, I would not be able to enter and leave the outer courtyard freely, which would be very inconvenient.

As the night deepened, people dispersed.

The guests left one after another.

Although Cao Yong could drink a lot, he couldn't resist the many people toasting him, so he got drunk and walked to the backyard with a dizzy feeling.

"Brother Cao, are you drunk?"

The girl from the Ma family appeared.

"Young man, I'll help you get Mr. Cao in first, and then you can go get some sobering soup!"

Miss Ma's personal maid said this very considerately.

The servant hesitated for a moment.

Seeing that Miss Ma was just standing outside the yard and had no intention of coming in, he felt relieved.

"Then please look after it, I'll be back soon!" This servant was so careless that he just left his master and left.

Follow the plot.

Miss Ma personally took care of Cao Yong for half the night, and because of this, the Ma family became even more unscrupulous.

The Cao family had no excuse to refuse.

In the end, it was Lao Kang who arranged the marriage, and the Ma family was forced to give up.

But rumors were flying around that the Cao family had abandoned his fiancée in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

It brought a lot of trouble to Cao Yong.

Many people in the court used this to criticize the Cao family, and Cao Yong's wife almost had a miscarriage because of it.

In short, the consequences are quite serious.

"Miss Ma, where do you want to go?"

Seeing the servant leave, Miss Ma was about to enter the yard when she suddenly heard a voice.

Ning Shishi glanced at her sideways.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Ma hasn't proposed marriage yet, right? She's so impatient, I thought she was some kind of fangirl."

If it were said so harshly, most girls would have run away out of shame.

But Miss Tajima is not an ordinary person.

"I was asked by Miss Cao San to come and look after Brother Cao. Isn't this young master being too nosy?"

Miss Ma said this and was about to walk in.
