As the saying goes, "suspicion begets a dark ghost", and sometimes, without evidence, something can be identified. For example, the current Nine Elder Brothers.

He only felt that he was angry, only that his lungs were about to explode, and he spat vigorously and scolded: "This bastard lamb, the white-eyed wolf who can't be fed!" ”

Who is a fool and a madman, who dares to go to the palace to send Hai Dongqing who is waiting to be killed?

Rao is an ignorant commoner, and he also knows that the power of heaven is unpredictable, not to mention the prince brother who grew up watching the face of the imperial father since childhood?

Which mistakes can be made and which cannot be made, this is always in their hearts with a little man with a whip to watch.

It's a matter of life and death, honor and disgrace, who dares to deal with it at will?

Although Feng Xianchao is said to be the confidant of the eighth elder brother, he also has dealings with the fourteenth elder brother, and it seems that he has also received his favor. Thinking of this, Brother Jiu only felt that the truth was about to come out, and immediately hated itchy, and cursed in his mouth.

He really wanted to enter the palace immediately and ask the fourteenth elder brother, was his conscience eaten by a dog? The brothers have been together for more than 20 years, how did the eighth elder brother treat him, and how did his own half-brother treat him?

Even if it's a sibling, that's just it.

However, he endured.

The fourteenth elder brother is no longer what he used to be, he has been taking care of the ministry for the past few years, not to mention, and he has also been very favored.

"Little brother? Little brother! The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth brought out a sneer.

I really didn't expect that this old thirteen was unlucky, but it made the fourteenth elder brother Yuyi be valued by the imperial father. It was at that time that he was born with the mind of self-reliance.

If you think about it carefully, he has been a good seller in recent years.

Although after "abolishing the prince", because of the eighth elder brother's intercession, he was beaten by the board, and finally won the praise of the emperor's father, thinking that he was "filial piety".

The more Brother Jiu thought about it, the more transparent his heart became, and he only felt unspeakable remorse. I had already seen that the fourteenth elder brother was a little inappropriate, and I also told the eighth elder brother a few times, but I always felt that it was not a big deal and did not take it to heart.

Now, it's too late to regret it.

It's just that the fourteenth elder brother thinks that it is beautiful, does he think that if he overthrows the eighth elder brother, everyone will work for him?

Thinking of this, Brother Jiu's expression gradually calmed down.

No matter what you want to do, can you still live without the silver? This money is in his hands, whether to continue to support the eighth elder brother or negotiate terms with the old fourteen, it is not up to him to have the final say.

In the end, it was difficult to calm down, Brother Jiu slapped the table vigorously, shaking his wrist and hurting.

"Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes", Concubine De is famous for not smiling, and the fourth elder brother is moody, why did they believe the fourteenth elder brother like this?

* Cao Mansion, study.

"Fourteenth elder brother?" Cao Yin was a little surprised when he heard Cao Hao turn his words to the fourteenth elder brother.

The fourteenth elder brother was born in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, and he is twenty-seven this year, which is not too young in terms of age. But compared with other older brothers, he has no qualifications and has not opened a house, so he is considered a "little brother".

In the eyes of the courtiers, the fourteenth elder brother has always been attached to the eighth elder brother of the party, and he has not cultivated his own power, nor is he among the several elder brothers who have the strength to compete for the storage position.

Cao Yin frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "What do you mean, do you mean that the eighth elder brother's heart to seize the crown is immortal, turn behind the scenes, and push the fourteenth elder brother to the front of the stage?" ”

Whether it was pushed by the eighth elder brother or the fourteenth elder brother who drilled the camp by himself, Cao Hao does not know. So, he shook his head and said, "This son doesn't know!" ”

Among the elder brothers of the "Eight Masters Party", the ninth elder brother is keen on business affairs and the benefits of money, and has been applied for several times; Brother Ten is a well-known "Mang Elder Brother", and in recent years, he has been a sick seedling again, and he "recupesrates" all year round.

Therefore, after the eighth elder brother was rejected by Kangxi, only the fourteenth elder brother could be pushed to the table.

If this is the case, then in this "Killing Eagle Incident", isn't it the Fourteenth Elder Brother who has benefited the most?

Thinking of this, Cao Yin looked at Cao Hao and said, "Could it be that the fourteenth elder brother has such a trick?" ”

In the end, it was the eighth elder brother who was plotted against Hai Dongqing and was manipulated by someone; It's still unlucky, the two birds of prey are sick themselves, and no one can say anything about this.

Although Cao Yin and Cao Hao's father and son are both suspicious of the fourteenth elder brother, they can only be suspicious, and they are not sure.

After all, even if Hai Dongqing was tampered with, it was a confidential matter, where was the evidence conclusive.

These royal affairs are really complicated, although Cao Yin and Cao Hao have no intention of mixing, but they are also a little more guarded, so as not to accidentally commit taboos and cause trouble.

The father and son were chatting, when they heard the sound of footsteps on the ground, and then they heard the little guy say outside the door: "Master, uncle, the second master is back!" ”

"Uncle in the study?" Cao Song's voice was a little joyful.

He has been working in Changchun Garden these days, because his colleagues have taken sick leave, and one person is worth two people's errands, and he has to return to the city empty, so he has only been relieved today.

Hearing his nephew's voice, Cao Yin frowned inadvertently, and said loudly: "Song'er, come in!" ”

"Yes!" Cao Song responded respectfully, lifted the curtain and entered the room.

The moment he saw Cao Yin, Cao Song picked up his placket, landed on his knees, and bowed, saying, "Nephew, please say hello to the uncle!" ”

Cao Yin saw that he was wearing a new guard uniform, strong and solid, with more kindness on his face, he put his hands up, and said, "It's all my own family, what are you doing with these false courtesies?" Get up. ”

Cao Song helped Cao Yin's arm up, looked at Cao Yin carefully, and saw that there was a lot more gray hair on his head than last spring, his heart was sour, and he said with red eyes: "Uncle, is your body still healthy?" The eldest brother is in Beijing, and he often cares about the eldest uncle and aunt, even the nephew, and he also wants to be filial piety in front of the uncle! ”

Cao Yin's gaze fell on the little finger of Cao Song's left hand, but there was only reproach on his face.

Although he wore silver finger gloves and couldn't see the broken bones, thinking about the dignified man, he actually forgot the way of filial piety and mutilated himself for the sake of a woman, which is really not a commendable act.

Cao Song saw that the uncle looked at his left hand, hurriedly retracted his hand, hid his left hand in his sleeve, glanced at Cao Hao on the side with a little apprehension, had nothing to say, and said: "Big brother, it's snowing big today, how was that big brother when he came back from the yamen?" Cao Hao nodded and said, "Well, it's okay!" ”

Cao Song grabbed his head with a little smile, glanced at Cao Yin cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, my nephew wants to go and say hello to my aunt first!" ”

"Humph!" Cao Yin took two steps back, flicked his sleeves, looked at Cao Song and said: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I heard that you are growing up now, so you dare to disobey your relatives, and you dare to take your own own initiative?" ”

In the end, Cao Yin was already a little annoyed.

Cao Song saw that Cao Yin was angry and didn't dare to defend himself, so he immediately knelt down and bowed his head and said, "Uncle, please calm your anger, my nephew already knows that he is wrong!" ”

Speaking of Cao Song's family affairs, Cao Yin remembered Jinghui's background, not only Kali's niece, but also the girl who retired from the Li family. With such an embarrassing identity, what good words can relatives have in the future?

Cao Song is the eldest son of the second room, and if he wants to support the portal, the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law must also be selected steadily.

Seeing Cao Song kneeling, Cao Yin didn't bother to help, and continued to teach: "For the sake of a woman, the family is uneasy, will it continue to make trouble in the future?" Before getting married, in private contacts, Dong E's family has lost her womanhood, where is she qualified to be the wife of the Cao family? ”

This was indeed ruthless, not only Cao Song's face changed, but Cao Hao also frowned slightly, and he had to defend Jinghui.

Cao Yin is angry, where can he listen to it?

It's just that he has always called himself a gentleman, and he can't say anything too ugly.

Cao Song respected his uncle as a father in his heart, but he really didn't want him to misunderstand Jinghui, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, Jinghui is not that kind of person, it was the nephew who gave birth to his own attachment, so he made trouble behind the incident, what did he do not do to Jinghui?" ”

Cao Yin glanced at Cao Song's fingers and said, "The body is skinny, the parents who are subjected, you cut off her fingers for her to coerce her relatives, if she wants to have face, how can she still have a face to enter the door of the Cao family?" ”

Cao Song saw that Cao Yin had such a deep prejudice against Jing Hui, and wanted to defend him, but was stopped by Cao Hao.

Cao Hao patted Cao Song's shoulder and said, "Mrs. hasn't seen me for a few days, and I've been talking about it several times, you go to the backyard to say hello to Mrs." If your sister-in-law is also there, just say I'll talk to the master here and go back later. ”

Cao Songrao is no matter how simple he is, he also looked at his brother to relieve himself, and looked at Cao Yin's eyes with a little pleading.

Cao Yin had a gloomy face, waved his hand, and said, "Go, your mother is also here, you have to remember what the eldest son does." ”

Cao Song respectfully agreed and withdrew.

Cao Yin's anger did not subside, and he frowned and said to Cao Hao: "You are a brother, why didn't you stop him before and let him mess around?" Dong E's family is your uncle's family, how will your mother get along in the future? ”

Cao Hao is a little indisputable, after all, this family business can be successful, and he does have his connivance.

He knew in his heart that the reason why Cao Yin had prejudices against Jinghui was mostly because of the Li family. In fact, even if you talk about it before, it is the Li family who is not kind, and what does it have to do with a little woman?

Jinghui's body is already miserable, Cao Hao doesn't want his father to misunderstand again, and he will get along with him in the future, and he will make his face look or something, and said: "Father can rest assured, Jinghui's surname is soft and well-behaved, and he must be a deed with his mother." ”

Hearing Cao Hao call Dong Ejing Hui by his name, Cao Yin's eyebrows were twisted together, and he scolded with a little scolding: "That's your younger brother and sister who haven't passed through the door, you are the eldest uncle, how can you call her by her name directly?" Although she stayed with the two of you in the early years, she was more intimate with each other, and she had to avoid some suspicions. ”

Cao Hao was so choked that he couldn't say a word, so he didn't cough out.

Where is this, starting from the Fucha family, isn't it a cousin? Why can't you afford to be called by name and have to avoid suspicion?

Cao Yin seemed reluctant to continue the topic, glanced at a few unopened letters on the bookcase, and said, "You go back first, I still have to read a few letters!" ”

Cao Hao was also a little excited, answered and went out.

The father and son said it well, but why he suddenly put up his father's score is really a little confusing.

* Orchid Courtyard, upper room.

Li was talking to Zhao Jia, Hengsheng and Tianyou were swinging a few small cloth tigers on the kang, and Chu Yu was standing beside him, listening to the elders while taking care of the children not to fall off the kang.

After saying a few homely words, Zhao Jia's couldn't help it.

She sniffed twice, hurriedly took a snuffbox out of her purse, unscrewed it, and put it under her nose and sniffed it a few times, so that she was comfortable.

Li doesn't eat cigarettes and can't smell smoke, so when Zhao Jia's came from Dongfu, he didn't bring a cigarette bag and pot, but only found a snuff bottle for emergency.

When Li Shi saw it, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and said, "It's just a lot of work, and I ate a few puffs of cigarettes!" I saw that my brother and sister were more addicted to smoking than they were when they were in the south. This refreshing thing, in the end, hurts the body, and it has to have a degree. ”

Zhao Jiashi smiled bitterly, looked at the snuff bottle twice, and said: "What can I do, these children are old, there is no one to worry about, if it weren't for two mouthfuls of cigarettes, I'm afraid I would have already laid down!" ”

In the past two days, Zhao Jia's has been talking about the two family affairs several times.

The words of relief have already been said by the Li family, so he had to say: "If you want to open up everything, as long as the children are safe, isn't it better than anything else?" Besides, the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law are all from big families, and this upbringing is good if you think about it, so don't be too picky about your younger siblings! ”

"Big family? Tsk, this is full of capital, who doesn't know that her family is indeed a big family! Zhao Jia pouted.

Speaking of Jinghui's background, not to mention Zhaojia's family, even the Li family is a little unwelcome in his heart.

It's just that she was about to enter the door, and it was not a good thing for the family to be so estranged, so she had to persuade her again.

Outside the Lan Courtyard, Cao Hao saw Cao Song standing at the door and said, "It's a cold day, why are you standing stupidly here?" Didn't you want to say hello to your aunt? ”

Cao Song hesitated, looked at Cao Hao and said, "Big brother, if the aunt is also annoyed, then how can I have a good ......?"
