Chapter 231 Cao Family

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu and said, "I have been training carrier pigeons recently. Once the training is complete, I will send them to you. Then we can fly pigeons to deliver messages."

Yin Zhu's messages were always untrue, and he was too lazy to make one more trip. Prince Lin expressed his dissatisfaction.

Yang Muxin said happily: "Okay! I have never used a flying pigeon to pass a message!"

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu's childishness with some fondness. Who could imagine that this girl would have such a side?

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu reluctantly and said, "Wait for me, I will come to hire you tomorrow morning!"

Yang Mu's heart moved, and he felt as if there was a warm current flowing in his heart.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu's obedient look and felt as if a feather was gently brushing through his heart. He wished he could hug the woman in front of him.

But this is the front door of the Yang family. If you flirt with someone else’s eldest daughter at the front door, isn’t this a sign of beating?

Lin Xiao endured the hardship and saw Yang Mu saying goodbye to him and entering the gate, but still refused to leave.

After a long time, a carriage drove by, and the curtain of the carriage door was lifted, revealing a young man with red lips and white teeth.

When the young man saw Lin Xiao, he said "Ouch", told the carriage driver to stop, and then jumped out.

"My eldest son, I am easy to find!"

The person who came was none other than Lin Xiao’s reading companion.

Tong Le trotted up to Lin Xiao and said anxiously: "You should go back home quickly! The gifts for tomorrow's appointment haven't been decided yet, so you don't care!"

Lin Xiao turned to look at him and said, "Didn't I give you the order?"

Tong Le said "Hi" and said in annoyance: "I'm not a princess. I said that the betrothal gift you gave me is too expensive and does not comply with the rules. I have to remove more than half of the things on the list!"

Lin Xiao snorted coldly and asked, "Where is my father?"

Tong Le said: "The prince said he was in a good mood today and went to have a drink with his friends, otherwise the princess would not dare to act like this!"

Lin Xiaofei got on his horse and said: "Go back home!"

Tong Le said "Alas", got on the carriage, and followed Lin Xiao's horse all the way back to Prince Ding's Mansion.

…

Dingwangfu.

Lin Xiao entered the Chengqi courtyard where he lived with a riding whip, and saw Princess Cao directing her servants to move red boxes around the courtyard.

"Hello, Princess." Lin Xiao greeted in a deep voice.

Ms. Cao's eyes flashed, why did this guy come back so quickly? All these good things could be moved to her yard in just one step!

In just a moment, Mrs. Cao adjusted her smile, turned around and smiled softly at Lin Xiao, and said, "The prince is back? Just in time, I'm almost done here."

She waved, and a steward handed a red note to Lin Xiao.

Cao said: "Your Majesty, take a look at this gift list. How does it look like?"

Lin Xiao took the note, glanced at it, and said, "It's not appropriate."

Ms. Cao walked over with a smile and explained patiently: "Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the Yang family is just a girl who grew up in the countryside. If our palace hires you with great gifts, I'm afraid it will be bad for you and your father's reputation if word spreads.

.”

After all, Prince Ding is also one of the four kings in the capital. He pays so much attention to an uneducated girl from the Yang family. I don’t know what those talkative women would say about her.

Lin Xiao said: "My previous gift list was all the dowry left by my mother. If the princess feels it is not suitable, why not open the palace's warehouse and pick out the suitable ones."

Mrs. Cao's smile did not change at all, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, don't you know about the wealth of our palace? If I can come up with a decent betrothal gift, can I not take it?"

She glanced at the red boxes all over the yard and said, "The things in the warehouse are really not as good as your mother's dowry!"

These things were so good that her eyes almost turned red.

Lin Xiao looked at the red box divided into two parts in the yard and asked, "Where will the princess move these boxes?"

Cao said: "Of course I will move it into your small warehouse."

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows coldly, not believing her nonsense. He was afraid that if he came back a little late, these things would go into Cao's own small warehouse.

Over the years, Mr. Cao tried every means to manage his mother's relics, but Lin Mao and him stopped them all. Unexpectedly, they came to steal it while they were not in the house.

He glanced coldly at the servants in the courtyard, then turned to Mrs. Cao and said: "My father gave me a gift list from the palace's warehouse a few days ago, saying that the princess would prepare everything for me. Listen to the princess.

Head, seems to be unprepared?"

Cao said: "How does your father know what is in the warehouse? I took a look at the gift list. Most of them are things that are not in the warehouse. Even if they are available, they cannot be taken out."

Lin Xiao said calmly: "Since the princess is not willing to open a large warehouse to recruit my future concubine, then I will not bother the princess to take care of the gift list I prepared myself."

Mrs. Cao opened her mouth and saw that Lin Xiao was very determined, so she couldn't say anything anymore and left with the others.

Tong Le waited until everyone had gone away before he came over with surprise and asked: "Sir, the princess just left like that and didn't bother her anymore? This is not the character of the princess!"

For so many years, the princess has been keeping an eye on the prince's small storehouse. The prince was often deceived by her into taking away good things when he was a child.

After the prince grew up, he gradually recovered the things that had been deceived by the Cao family.

Lin Xiao looked at Cao's back and said, "She was thinking that her father would be too drunk when he came back and would not care to ask about the gift list. In addition, today my father sent a message to the Yang family and agreed to do it tomorrow morning.

We have to go to the Yang family to deliver the betrothal gift. When we wake up tomorrow morning, there will be no time for her to open the warehouse and order gifts."

Tong Le snorted coldly and said: "The princess has a good plan, but it's a pity that she doesn't know that the prince has already ordered people to find the prince."

He smiled proudly, and he could imagine how the prince would scold the princess when he came back later and saw such a gift list.

…

Cao's thoughts were just as Lin Xiao said. Her original plan was that the palace would not pay a penny and then rob some of Lin Xiao's small treasury, so that in the end, Prince Ding would not be able to accuse her.

But what Cao didn't expect was that Prince Ding Linmao came back within half an hour. After learning that Cao actually did not prepare a penny as Lin Xiao said, and wanted to withhold the betrothal gift prepared by Lin Xiao, she faced him.

As heavy as water.

Lin Mao went directly to the warehouse, called the manager of the warehouse, pointed to various valuable items, and asked people to record them all in person. He also stared at the people, put the things into big boxes, carried them to Lin Xiao's yard, and wrote down each item.

On the gift list.

Mr. Cao didn't show off his dignity, but the handkerchief in his hand was torn out of shape.

Many of the things Lin Mao chose were betrothal gifts for her future daughter-in-law, and some were dowries for her daughter.

Now, these things will be sent to the Yang family by Lin Mao.

Lin Mao kept staring at his servant until midnight, then gave Mr. Cao a cold look and said, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao's lips and she asked: "Where will the prince rest today?"

If Lin Mao rests with Concubine Zhao or other concubines tonight, then she still has room for maneuver.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mao said calmly: "There will be a big event tomorrow morning, so naturally I will rest in your yard."

Ms. Cao forced a smile and followed Lin Xiao into her yard.

It seemed that those treasures could no longer be kept, and she felt very distressed.
