Seeing that his cousin was silent, Cao Xiang said: "I am worried about these words, I am afraid that the fourth sister will follow in the footsteps of the fifth sister." Although the heavenly family is rich, it is not an easy place to live, and I don't know how many grievances I have to suffer. Although Brother Guanglu is not a lord now, he has lost a lot of right and wrong. Even if the relationship with the palace is more estranged, it is just a little more comfortable, who dares to bully them? ”

Seeing that Cao Xiang thought clearly, Cao Hao nodded and said, "That's exactly the truth." Speaking of this, he remembered something and said, "I'm afraid that the second old lady will be disappointed." Even if she asks for the thirteen blessings, I am afraid that she also hopes in her heart that she will marry her fourth sister highly. ”

Zhao Jia's thoughts, how could he have hidden from others.

Cao Xiang didn't pay much attention to his mother-in-law, so he said: "Mother feels sorry for the fourth sister, and she will always want to open ......it."

It's already October now, even if Yi Zhi mentions "choosing auspiciousness to complete the marriage", but after six ceremonies, the wedding period will have to be next year, and the time is calm.

This is also the difference between a wife and a side room and a concubine, if it is pointed out as a side room and a concubine, it is just a random choice of a child, so that a small sedan chair comes to the door to carry people...... * Outside the Forbidden City, the Imperial Garden, and the sea.

Hongli was a little worried, and when he found Hongday, he was sitting on the bluestone, holding a fishing rod in his hand, humming a little song in his mouth, and enjoying the joy of fishing leisurely.

Seeing this, Hongli couldn't cry or laugh, took two steps forward, sat next to him, "hummed", and said: "I don't go to the study, and I don't go to the sixteenth uncle to learn errands, but hide in the garden and be lazy." ”

Hongtian turned his head, glanced at him with "resentment", and said, "Fourth brother, my younger brother is sad, don't you hide and cry by yourself, and still shed tears in front of people?" ”

Hongli was choked by him for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Since you have taken a look, you have to discuss it with Eniang, and it is not in vain that you have been talking about it for a long time." Didn't you say a few days ago that you had already mentioned it to Eniang, why did there be a change in front of you? ”

Hongtian listened to him, and he was in no mood to fish again, so he lifted the fishing rod and threw it aside, and said with a little indignation: "It's not because of the fourth brother!" ”

Hongli saw that the indignation in his heart didn't seem to be a fake, and he couldn't help but wonder: "How can it be on me when you point out someone?" Speaking of this, he frowned slightly and said, "Could it be because of the Cao family?" ”

There are not many princes under the knee today, except for the third elder brother who has been rejected and the small Fuhui, there are only two left, the fourth elder brother Hongli and the fifth elder brother Hongday.

If the emperor wants to appease and strengthen the relationship between the minister and the royal family, he will choose a few more to match the prince. But sometimes, there are several daughters in the family, all of whom refer to the royal family.

For example, the Guerjia family, where the late Prince Fujin of Limi lived, produced two princes and concubines, as well as several princes, the prince of the county, Fujin and Baylor, and Mrs. Beizi.

The Cao family has a weak foundation, and the fourth girl and the fifth girl are still side branches, even if the two sisters are divided into concubines in the prince's side room, it is nothing, where is there an obstacle?

"It's not the Cao family, it's for the fourth brother's concubine!" Hongtian stood up, picked up a few stones from the ground, and then floated in the water.

Hongli listened to it, and he was even more confused.

Although he has passed the primary selection of the draft, many of them have stayed in Chuxiu Palace, and he has also probed in front of his biological mother. can listen to the meaning of his biological mother, he and his younger brother's wives must be circled by the imperial father, and there is no movement now.

Seeing that he was chaotic, Hongli was also impatient to sell Guanzi, and said weakly: "E-Niang said that Huang Ama mentioned that this draft is only for the fourth brother and me to choose Fujin, and the side Fujin will wait for later." The reason is naturally no other, it is to give the prince a decent fortune. Even if the four girls of the Cao family are from lower backgrounds, they are the daughters of the Shichen family, and with the status of side blessings, even in the palace, they can live better; If you don't have a serious reputation, you don't know how much trouble you will suffer. She is a quiet and innocent white person, why should I let her enter the palace to suffer for my own selfishness. ”

Hongli's words to him were not easy to understand, and said: "Where is it so evil from what you say, even if the name is lower, but if you give birth to a little brother in the future, and you are promoted to a position, why bother to find it uncomfortable like this?" ”

Hongli raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to Hongli's words.

Prince Guanglu of Yu mourning, speaking of the cousin of the same great-grandfather as himself. I've seen it myself, it's white and pure, but it's an honest man with a gentle surname...... Hong Tian let out a long breath, patted the dust on his hands, gathered his clothes, raised his eyebrows and said: "Fourth brother, it's cold, my brother wants to eat the pot of Xidan Brand Yuehelou!" ”

In the early winter, he sat by the sea for a long time, and Hongli was also afraid that Hongli would be cold, so he listened to this suggestion and immediately nodded and answered...... * Cao's family, Xifu.

Because of something in the Cao family, Wen Jie wanted to say goodbye, but he was left behind by Cao Hao, and the young couple had dinner at Cao's house before leaving. During this period, Li and Chu Yu never asked Niuniu to come out to meet.

The world pays attention to "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother", especially orphans without parents like the Wenjie Wenzhi brothers.

But the daughter's family is noble, even if she has made a small decision and has a marriage contract, there is no reason for her in-laws to be on call.

Not to mention that the He family is about the same age as Niuniu, she is going to the door as a new daughter-in-law to ask the Cao family to say goodbye, if Niuniu is invited out, she will be a little too big to be courteous in front of the Cao family.

Niuniu also knows that the future eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law are coming to the door today, although they are a little curious, they still stay in Tianhui's room honestly, and the two aunts and nephews do needlework.

Tianhui is not uncomfortable from the cold, but has ringworm on her face and plasters on her face, so it is not easy to go out to meet guests.

However, when she heard that the fourth aunt came back from the palace, she still couldn't hold it back, and said to Niuniu: "Little aunt, the fourth aunt is back, let's go over and take a look?" ”

Everyone ate and lived together in Qingyuan a few days ago, and the relationship was a little better than when they were children.

Niuniu was also worried about the fourth sister, but after glancing at Tianhui's face, she was still a little hesitant.

Tianhui had already called the maid to bring a scarf, hung it on her ear, and said, "This is covered, isn't it?" ”

Seeing her like this, Niuniu naturally would not object, so she called a maid, reported to Wutong Garden, and went to Dongfu with Tianhui.

Zhaojia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have come back from incense, and when they heard that Yi's decree had been issued, Zhaojia's couldn't help but be happy, but when they heard that they were married to the elder brother of the clan who had no lord, they were dumbfounded.

"The third elder brother of Prince Yu's mansion, isn't he the half-brother of the prince?" Zhao Jiashi remembered something and asked Chunhua: "In the early years, I heard that they were in the palace and several brothers were united. Even if you are a descendant, you have to be crowned a prince at worst. At this point, she looked a little softened.

Chunhua and her husband glanced at each other, and it seemed that the old lady thought it was the elder brother under the knee of Prince Geyu Baotai.

Baotai's original wife, died young, leaving three elder brothers, who were the eldest sons to the third sons of the palace. After Fujin entered the door, he also gave birth to three elder brothers, ranking fifth, seventh, and eighth, and the seventh elder brother and eighth elder brother all died early, leaving the fifth elder brother.

For the position of the prince, Prince Yu's mansion also had a lot of excitement, and there was a lot of gossip in the seriousness, so Zhao Jia's family also heard about it.

"It's not the son of Prince Baotai, these three elder brothers are the nephews of Prince Baotai, the year before last, Prince Baotai lost his title, and the title came to Prince Yumourning, the third elder brother in the edict is the son of Prince Yumourning, Xu is due to lack of age, and he has not yet asked for the title." Cao Xiang said.

Zhao Jia's family faintly remembered this, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Then can this third elder brother be a descendant, and is it the same mother as the current prince?" ”

Cao Xiang shook his head and said, "Now that the elder brother who has attacked the title of prince is the son-in-law of Prince Yumian, and now this is a concubine." ”

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he only felt that his eyes were black, and his body couldn't help shaking.

Seeing this, Chunhua immediately stepped forward two steps to support her.

Zhao Jiashi raised his eyelids and looked at Chunhua, only feeling tired.

The prince's concubine, Dingtian is a second-class Zhenguo general. It's okay to fool the common people, in the capital where the powerful gather, you can meet a few "generals" when you go out for a walk.

Chunhua's mother's family is the general of the clan, and the result is not as rich as the ordinary Eight Banners.

But the words of complaint can't be spoken, this is a marriage referred to by the queen's will, and there are thirteen blessings in the middle.

Zhao Jiashi held his head and said, "Since that's the case, just wait for that side to make a decision......

Before the words fell, I heard the maid come in and say, "Old lady, Miss Xifu Tongping is here." ”

Zhao Jia's heart was extremely disappointed, but he didn't want his concubine and daughter-in-law to see the joke, so he forced himself to say, "Then please come in." ”

One time later, Tianhui and Niuniu entered the house.

Although Niuniu is a foreign surname, she was born and raised in the Cao family, and she is no different from her younger generations, but she doesn't have those evasions, so she doesn't need to avoid seeing Cao Xiang, and she greeted everyone in the house with Tianhui.

Zhao Jia's family knew about Tianhui's ringworm, and when she saw her wearing a face towel, she had to cheer up and ask a few words, before she told Chunhua to take their aunt and nephew to see the fourth sister.

There was only one Cao Xiang left, and Cao Xiang wanted to leave, but he was left behind by Zhaojia's family.

After sending the maid out, Zhao Jiashi took out a handkerchief, began to cover his eyes, and cried: "You also know that my father-in-law's family is General Lao Shizi, but the name is good, and the whole family relies on a few hundred taels of money to chew. The fourth sister has a hard life, and now the second and fifth are no longer in Beijing, you are the backbone of the house, but you can't lose your sister. Your sister is no better than your brothers, she has the wedding money left by the old lady, and she expects your brothers to add makeup to her. ”

When Cao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth.

Now that he is nominally in charge, when will he be self-sufficient?

Could it be that he would still be that wicked man, and he wouldn't be able to buy a dowry for the fourth sister? Even if you want to be a wicked person, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.

Over the years, under the pretext that the fourth sister did not have the wedding money left by the old lady, Zhao Jia's family had already prepared a rich value for the fourth sister. Not to mention marrying a clan general, it is to be married to a prince, and the dowry is not shabby.

It's just that, listening to the old lady's meaning, she has a plan again.

"With the old lady here, the son naturally listens to the old lady." Cao Xiang said lightly.

Zhao Jiashi wiped the corners of his eyes, glanced at Cao Xiang, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will be the master and allocate some land from the public to the fourth sister to make a halo field......"
