For Gao Taijun, the Cao Mansion is just a son-in-law's family, a relative, and the Li family is the family.

Gao Taijun is coming, and he lives with his daughter, which has made the old man who has always had the surname just feel unhappy, if he is in the Cao family, he is afraid that he will not be able to close his eyes after death.

Life is the Li family, and death is the ghost of the Li family.

For women in this era, between life and death is life.

"What did the old lady say?" Cao Hao asked.

Of course she stopped, but the old lady's temper has always been just her surname, if she speaks again, the old lady is afraid that she won't be able to stop it. On the Li family's side, do you want someone to send a letter? Chu Yu replied: "This is a big event, and we have to prepare for it." ”

Gao Taijun's longevity materials were prepared by Cao Fu a few years ago, and then put it on the side of Haidian Garden. This is also the old custom of the capital, there are elderly people in the family, most of them have to prepare longevity materials, and usually the coffin must be laid first. After that, it is repainted every year.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Ming'er sent someone to call Li Nuo over and discuss this matter with him." ”

Li Nai is not in Beijing, and the Li family is now in charge of the Li family's grandson Li Nuo.

A few years ago, Li Nuo accompanied his grandfather to Shengjing to fulfill his filial piety by his grandfather's side. Later, he was replaced by Li Nai, and was helped by Cao Hao and entered the Internal Affairs Office as an errand boy.

Because he is honest and diligent, and he is careful in his errands, he has entered the eyes of the sixteenth elder brother, and he was appointed as the chief last year. Although he only received the money from the seventh grade, as long as he was down-to-earth and did not make mistakes, it was not difficult to go to the word "commission" for a year and a half.

For the sake of Gao Taijun, both husband and wife were a little uncomfortable, and when dinner was set, they just ate two chopsticks and put them down.

Chu Yu was about to call someone to remove the table, when he heard footsteps from the courtyard, and the little maid's greeting.

She looked out the window and saw Tianyou and Hengsheng brothers coming together.

"My son is back...... Chu Yu's eyes curved, and his brows immediately relaxed.

"Father, Mother!" Heng Sheng's voice was a little excited, and he looked greedily at his adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Although it has only been separated for a while, the longing has been engraved in the bottom of my heart.

Cao Hao nodded, Chu Yu already had red circles in his eyes, stood up, and looked at Hengsheng from head to toe.

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed, Tianyou glanced at the kang table and said with a smile: "Chrysanthemum lettuce shreds, almond tofu are exactly what my son and his second brother love to eat, but I want to ask my father and mother to reward my sons with a bowl of rice." ”

was interrupted by him, and the originally somewhat sad atmosphere was dissipated.

Chu Yu was a little distressed, and said, "This is not dinner, have you eaten lunch?" Didn't Daoxiang Village send the dumplings over, why are you still hungry? ”

"Where are you hungry? The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother went to the palace, in order to entertain guests, they asked for a table of noodles from the restaurant, and Defengtang seemed to have changed the cook, and the taste was good, but it was heavy oil, greasy, and I wanted to eat light at this time. God replied.

Heng Sheng looked at the dishes on the table that had barely moved, and said, "What my brother said is exact, my son is thinking about these two dishes." ”

When Chu Yu heard this, although he felt sorry for his sons, he was reluctant to ask his sons to eat leftovers, and said: "Eat hot tea first and press the air conditioner, which will make people go to the kitchen to ask for food for you." ”

Tianyou saw the four plates, two bowls and six dishes on the table, as well as a pot of green japonica rice, and said, "It's enough, I just bother Sister Lelan to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks to me and my second brother." The latter sentence was said to Lelan, who was standing at the door.

Not long after the meal was put on the table, it was all hot, so Chu Yu nodded and ordered Lelan to add dishes and chopsticks.

The two brothers cleaned their hands on the kang, Tianyou sat on the east side of Cao Hao, and Hengsheng sat on the west side.

Hengsheng had already taken the rice spoon first, picked up the bowl in front of Cao Hao, filled a full bowl, put his hands in front of Cao Hao, and said, "Father, please use it." ”

Although Cao Hao had no appetite, he didn't want to give up his son's filial piety and took the bowl.

"Mother, I'm sheng." Tianyou sat next to Chu Yu, saw Hengsheng's intentions, and also took Chu Yu's job.

There are two half-sized men of Tianyou and Hengsheng, although they can't be said to be windy, they have also eaten upside down.

If it weren't for the coming, Lelan brought two stir-fried dishes from the kitchen, I'm afraid that the two brothers would not have enough to eat.

Cao Hao and Chu Yu, husband and wife, were taken by the children, and their appetite improved a lot.

After removing the table and rinsing his mouth, Cao Hao asked for the details of the fourth and fifth elder brothers' going to the palace.

Tianyou said with a smile: "I was about to report the good news to my father and mother, and I listened to the meaning of the two elder brothers, and the will of the eldest son of the second brother Fengjun Wang and the will of the lord will be made together in a few days." ”

Although they have known that there is such a thing for a long time, when it comes to the matter, Cao Hao and Chu Yu are both very happy.

With the title of the eldest son of the county king, Tianyou's identity is more and more justified. Even if the Khan's palace wants to make trouble, it must be scrupled with three points.

However, Chu Yu remembered the matter of the palace's inner house, and then remembered that there was one more thing that had not been arranged.

Hengsheng will be fifteen in the next year, and if the third princess really marries after the queen, she will have to wait until the next year.

After more than a year of hard work, Hengsheng lives alone in the palace, the young man is strong, and there are no elders around to take care of him, if something bad happens, it is a big joke.

She had the heart to ask Hengsheng a few words, but it was not good to mention this privacy in front of everyone, so she got up and said to Hengsheng: "You left in a hurry this morning, I prepared something for you this morning, but I pulled it down, you go with me to take a look." ”

Hengsheng did not doubt it, got up and answered, and followed Chu Yu out of the West House to the East House study.

When Tianyou saw them go out, he turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Mother's eyes are red and swollen, and my father is also worried, but he is still worried about the second brother?" Father rest assured, the second brother will be on duty in the palace from tomorrow, and he will not be wronged if he is taken care of by the sixteenth uncle and the fourth elder brother. ”

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "The old lady is sick, and the doctor said that I am afraid that it will not be good, and I will not survive the spring, and your mother and I are worried about this." ”

Tianyou listened and was startled.

There is an old folk saying, called "the year is sad".

In addition to being in debt, in addition to the debts that need to be repaid years ago, but also because of the elderly, this time is the most sick and weak.

"Early tomorrow morning, you go to Li's house. In any case, the old lady is like this, and he must be informed. Cao Hao said.

Tianyou got up and responded, and listened to Cao Hao: "Recently, Hengsheng's side, I can't come forward, so I can only take care of these by you, will it delay you to warm your book?" ”

Tianyou shook his head and said: "Don't delay, my father's official duties are heavy, and my son is now older, so I should share my father's worries ......."

* East House, Study.

Chu Yu said in a low voice: "You are also an adult now, if there is anything, you should also listen to what you mean." Even if we are parents, our hearts are for your good, but we can't make you feel uncomfortable. ”

Hengsheng was a little confused when he heard it, and said: "The father and the mother both love their son, what is the arrangement, it is naturally for the good of the son, why should the son be uncomfortable?" ”

Hang Sheng's side, the current two big girls, Le Lan went out of Wutong Garden, and Xiao Xie is the granddaughter of Cao Zhong, the old housekeeper of the Cao family.

In Chu Yu's opinion, even if there are people waiting in the Hang Seng House, these two are not good candidates.

Le Lan is her maid, nineteen this year, it was time to release people, but Hengsheng had just moved, and it was only appropriate for the old man to follow him, and the little maid in the province was lost, and Chu Yu ordered her to wait with her.

Xiaoxie is two years younger than Le Lan, and has been waiting by Hang Sheng's side since he was a little girl, and it has been ten years now.

If Hengsheng married not the third princess, but someone else, Chu Yu would not feel embarrassed.

It is also common for the young master of a large family to accept a maid who waits for a small waiter. But if the third princess is arrogant and has a seizure, it will hurt the relationship between husband and wife.

On Le Lan's side, because she is her maid, she is afraid that the third princess will be suspicious.

After thinking about it again and again, Chu Yu would rather pick two ordinary sons to serve Hengsheng than let Hengsheng accept the two beside him before the third princess got married.

According to her idea, it is best to discuss with the Sixteen Fujin and let the Sixteen Fujin be the master of the two people. In that case, when the third princess gets married, whether to stay or send it, you don't have to care about the Cao family.

But now, seeing that his adopted son is single and pitiful, the balance in Chu Yu's heart is inevitably towards his adopted son again.

"You live there alone now, and we can't take care of it...... Le Lan and Xiao Xie are old again, and they can't wait for you for two years, do you want to add someone to the house? Chu Yu asked.

"Timber?" When Hengsheng heard this, he shook his head vigorously and said, "Even if Sister Lelan and Xiaoxie go out, there are still several, and there is no shortage of people around my son." ”

Hearing this, it was obvious that he had no selfish feelings for Le Lan and Xiao Xie, Chu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hesitated to say the next words.

I heard Hengsheng say innocently: "Mother, although it is not good for my son to live here anymore, I only think this side is home in my heart." Even if it is not in the same house, it is only three miles away, and it is a quarter of an hour away by horseback. If the mother has any place to be disciplined, it is directly disciplined. The son is not wolf-hearted, where can he feel uncomfortable? ”

Hengsheng's surname is Chunliang, and he is not yet enlightened about the affairs of men and women, so Chu Yu swallowed the words on his lips and said: "If you are truly filial to me and your father, remember to cherish yourself, and don't go out to fool around with others because we are no longer with us." Later, ask your brother to copy a copy of the Cao family rules and family law for you, and see what can be committed and what should be avoided. Otherwise, if you have a problem, the saddest thing is your father and me. ”

With Hang Seng's current identity, Chu Yu said that these things were also excessive, but he did not mean to treat Hang Seng as an outsider.

When Hengsheng heard this, he nodded vigorously and said: "I don't dare to commit it, otherwise, without the words of my father and mother, my son will kneel by himself...... Just kneel and ......" In the end, it is still inevitable to be gloomy.

The Cao family's family rules and family law were written by Cao Yin. Originally, after the accident of Cao Shuo in the East Mansion in the early years, he took it as a warning, so he wrote the family rules in detail and drafted the family law, which were used to restrict and teach the descendants of the Cao family.

Now this family rules and family law, are engraved on the east and west walls of the ancestral hall, if there are descendants who violate the family law, against the family rules, they must be punished, including kneeling in the ancestral hall.

When Chu Yu saw it, he sighed and said softly: "You kid, why did you start drilling the horns?" Although you have left this house, you are not a descendant of the Cao family? If you think so, your father and I really have no place to complain, and I have worked hard for more than ten years, not to raise a son, but to be a nanny and a nanny and a nanny in the Khan's palace, and a nanny and father-guard......"
