After hearing Cao Bin's words to retreat thousands of troops from Liangshan, Hu Sanniang looked at Cao Bin with little stars in her eyes.
But the other three women only felt the danger, and their backs felt cold.
They understand that this method is just a helpless move. It's okay if it works, but if it doesn't work, they have to fight desperately.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
They only knew that Cao Bin was praised by Bao Zheng in Shandong, but they did not know that he had such a dangerous experience.
After listening to the slightly exaggerated battle between Cao Bin and Shandong officials, Sai Xishi couldn't help crying again:
"It turns out that there are so many schemes in the officialdom. It was only because of my stupidity and ignorance that I believed those rumors."
"To simply think that you are a corrupt official, I am really a fool..."
Cao Bin was secretly amused and comforted her for a while before letting her go.
The next day, before the red sun rose and Cao Bin was still sleeping among the flowers, a maid knocked on the door.
It was said that Kaifeng Mansion had handed over a post and asked Cao Bin to complete the handover as soon as possible and report to the government office.
Cao Bin woke up from his sleep and looked at the dark sky outside. He suddenly felt like he was falling into a sea of misery, covered his head and said:
"I just know that I will suffer if I am targeted by a gangster... Just say that I am sick and cannot perform my duties!"
Master Li couldn't help but laugh when he saw him looking like a child. He showed his arms and pushed him to persuade him:
"Cao Lang, you'd better go to Kaifeng Mansion. You can't just excuse yourself by being sick."
Cao Bin sat up suddenly, looked at her expectantly and said, "Senior Sister, do you think I can pretend to be seriously ill?"
"Ah...isn't this bad?"
Master Li was a little confused. She still didn't quite understand Cao Bin's thinking. Is it worth it just to not go to work in Kaifeng Mansion?
If Cao Bin knew her thoughts, he would definitely say it was worth it.
Isn’t it normal to pretend to be sick in order to be happy?
"That's it. I've decided to go to the Grand Master and ask him to change my position as soon as possible."
"I heard that those people from the Foreign Affairs Academy have nothing to do but hang out all day long, eat and drink, and then go to the Foreign Affairs Academy!"
After saying that, he showed an envious expression, lay down with peace of mind, and fell asleep with his arms around Shishi again.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully fishing under Bao Zheng for one day. Special reward: three times the score and 300 points for the dandy evaluation]
"Very good, I didn't expect such a surprise."
Seeing so many points gained in one day, Cao Bin felt more at ease.
Ouchi harem.
Concubine Pang was wearing a gorgeous and shiny cloak, showing it off in front of several palace ladies.
She turned around a few times and said with satisfaction and joy:
"Juncai is really thoughtful. He went to Shandong and still thought about me as his sister."
A palace maid said:
"I heard from Marquis Boling that this bird's gold fur was produced in Oros."
"The fabrics are woven with peacock feathers and gold threads."
"It took several top craftsmen several years to complete it. It can be called a rare treasure."
Concubine Pang asked doubtfully: "Oros? Why haven't I heard of it?"
The maid said: "Marquis Boling said that Oros is still in the north of Liao Kingdom and has almost no news from us."
After hearing this, Concubine Pang pondered for a long time and sighed:
"Hey, speaking of it, Juncai is more considerate than my biological brother."
"If that boy Pang Yu got such a rare thing, he would probably give it to his wife and concubines."
The palace maid laughed and said: "Marquis Boling also misses the empress very much!"
Concubine Pang didn't speak, she just turned around twice and asked:
"Are the officials going to transfer talented people to Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Bao Zheng is too mean and difficult to get along with. If Juncai goes away, he will definitely suffer..."
"No, I have to ask the officials to arrange a good job for him."
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Cao Bin also received 3,000 Dandy Points.
On this day, the silk and bamboo in the Hou Mansion were melodious and graceful.
Cao Bin was leaning on the couch, holding his erhu and playing blindly, and he actually made up his own tune... playing cotton music.
Du Shiniang danced to the music, keeping in tune with the rhythm, but she was already panting from exhaustion.
"Okay, time is enough, let's start the next game. Senior sister is so bad, she actually tormented others like this."
Cao Bin put down his erhu and laughed: "Who told you to choose a senior sister to give the question? If you choose me, I will definitely not let you suffer."
Du Shiniang rolled her eyes and said, "If you choose Cao Yan, it will make people feel even more uncomfortable..."
At this moment, a little maid ran in and said: "Master, Guard Zhan is here!"
Cao Bin suddenly jumped up and said hurriedly: "Quickly, put away all the food, drink and fun things."
There was a sudden flutter in the room. Cao Bin took a basin of hot water and dipped it into his face. After making his face flush, he quickly lay down on the couch and covered himself with a quilt.
"Ouch..."
When Zhan Zhao came in, he saw Cao Bin looking like he was about to die.
"Uncle Cao, what's wrong with you?"
Cao Bin said with a dying breath:
"Guard Zhan, I'm afraid I'm not going to die soon. Please tell Mr. Bao that I may have failed to live up to his high expectations."
"Shaoyin of Kaifeng Prefecture, let the old man choose a worthy man, I... ahem, I won't go!"
Zhan Zhao frowned and sniffed, then asked suspiciously: "Uncle Cao, why is there a smell of wine in the house?"
Cao Bin immediately got stuck: "I..."
Du Shiniang immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Cao Yan, I just knocked over the wine pot."
As he spoke, he quickly lit a piece of incense.
Zhan Zhao said speechlessly: "Uncle Cao, don't worry. Zhan has already anticipated your condition and has found a famous doctor in the capital to treat you."
Cao Bin was about to refuse, but Zhan Zhao didn't give him a chance. He waved directly and an old man walked in carrying a medicine box.
The old doctor stroked his beard and gently closed his eyes, and suddenly said:
"Uncle, please don't press the meridians under your armpits, as this will affect my ability to hear the pulse."
Cao Bin said awkwardly: "Not careful, not careful."
Are all ancient Chinese medicine doctors so powerful? Netizens lied to me!
After a long while, the old man stood up and said, "Uncle Cao is in good health and is not sick."
Zhan Zhao stared at Cao Bin and said, "Uncle Cao, what else do you have to say?"
Cao Bin saw that he couldn't deceive him, so he had to stand up and said:
"Wei Zhan, you also know that I actually have epilepsy, but I don't have epilepsy now..."
Zhan Zhao shook his head speechlessly and said, "In that case, please ask Uncle Cao to report to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible."
After Zhan Zhao led the people away, Cao Bin shook his head and sighed:
"It seems this method won't work. My old father-in-law, why are you delaying so much?"
[A failed attempt to skip work by pretending to be ill, barely meeting the standards of a playboy, with an evaluation of 1,200 points. 】
"Cao Yan, what should we do next?"
Cao Bin said helplessly: "I have no choice but to go to Kaifeng Mansion to take a job. I can't accompany you in the future. It feels so uncomfortable!"
With that said, Cao Bin threw himself into Du Shiniang's arms for comfort...
