Chapter 1078: Aunt (II)
"Brother-in-law, please!" Without waiting for Cao Hao to dismount, Qigege had already taken two steps forward and bowed like wax.
Cao Hao listened to the salutation, looked at it carefully, and found that it was not someone else who got down from the carriage, but his sister-in-law.
Although the daughter of the banner family is also pampered, she is not like the girl of the Han family. In his early years, these seven Gege also went to the Cao family with the Seven Blessings; Cao Hao took his wife to King Chun's Mansion during the New Year's Festival, and also saw Qigege.
The two are not familiar with each other, but they are not strangers either. It's just that Qigege has now changed into a woman's outfit, and his face is no longer innocent as before, and Cao Hao didn't recognize it for a while.
"It's the seventh sister, is this here to ask Fu Jin for peace?" Cao Hao dismounted, looked at the garden of the Chun Palace, and asked.
Qigege shook his head and said, "I didn't go back to the palace garden, I came to ask my sister and brother-in-law to come." ”
Although she is dressed as a woman, her face is delicate, her childishness is still there, and her red and swollen eyes are like a wronged child, and tears will gush out if she is not careful.
It's also strange to say, looking at her appearance alone, she is only three points similar to Chu Yu. But this words and deeds are very similar to Chu Yu when he was a teenager.
When Cao Hao saw this, he couldn't help but slander in his heart. Qifujin raised the two concubines with these suppleness, and I think I also know the truth of "overcoming rigidity with softness", why I refuse to bow my head, and "respect each other like ice" with Brother Qi so far.
Thinking in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but he was a little surprised.
Looking at the direction of the carriage in front of me, it was obviously the direction back to the city, but I don't know why.
"If you have anything to say, go to the garden. On a hot day, there is no reason to talk on the side of the road. Your eldest sister made people boil sour plum soup yesterday, and you can drink two bowls! Cao Hao said.
Hearing this, Qigege hesitated for a moment, took a long breath, and said, "Don't hide it from the eldest brother-in-law, I just met the eldest sister and begged for it...... Looking at the meaning of the eldest sister, she was afraid of making trouble for the eldest brother-in-law, so she refused to admit it. I shouldn't have been cheeky anymore, but there's really no other way. ”
Listening to her blunt words, Cao Hao nodded secretly in his heart, but he didn't promise to do everything. Now, he also understands that this little sister-in-law is waiting on the side of the road, not waiting for others, but waiting for herself.
In terms of the relationship between the two, this is somewhat unruly.
Chu Yu is a person who knows the importance of it, and when his sister came to ask for it, he didn't agree, which shows that it is not a good thing.
Cao Hao's mind was racing, thinking about the intention of Qigege.
Seeing Cao Hao's pale expression, Qigege didn't answer, only felt that the last hope was about to be dashed, and his face showed sadness. I bit my lip and couldn't cry, but the tears were still rolling in my eyes.
Seeing her like this, Cao Hao still relented.
For the few sisters-in-law of Prince Chun's mansion, he still met with this Qigege more often. Qigege was born before Chu Yu got married, and she had witnessed it when she was a hundred and a hundred and a week, and Cao Hao had witnessed it.
Speaking of which. It's kind of growing up watching Qigege.
Witnessing the growth of a young girl, this girl is still her sister-in-law, Cao Hao's heart is somewhat eccentric.
It's not that she has the heart of a beast, but she looks like her wife, and she is a little uncomfortable.
As a man, although he didn't linger in the flowers in his previous life, he can be regarded as "well-read". Whether it is the article produced by that island country or the essence of the Chinese people, this sister-in-law and brother-in-law have articles to do.
He thought about the affairs of the Nian family for a while, roughly knew it, and said: "Your eldest sister also loves you, and I mentioned you to Fujin, and I was worried that you were having a hard time." It's just that Doctor Fang's side is now worshiped by the palace, and he is responsible for the safety of the eldest son of the palace, so he has long stopped going to the clinic. ”
Qigege saw that Cao Hao had broken his intentions, and said such a thing again, his face was pale, and he was stunned for a long time, and said: "Brother-in-law, the imperial doctor has already revealed his words, our lord, I'm afraid I won't survive the winter...... Even our old lady asked someone to prepare the next longevity material......"
Although there was gossip about Nian Xi's illness outside, Cao Hao didn't expect it to be so serious.
"So far?" Cao Hao's face couldn't help but change.
In the half month he has been in the capital, he has not heard any news from the side, but he has accidentally learned about it. That is, Nian Xi has an excerpt in his hand, and he plays it as a matter of "returning fire to the public".
This is still from the sixteenth elder brother, and the Tao is that there is a royal history eyeing Nian Xi, just waiting for him to make a move, and he will impeach Nian Xi.
Cao Hao still thought it was funny at the time, Nian Xi was originally the imperial history, and he was impeached by the imperial history, I don't know if it is considered a jealousy among peers. It's just that he is recuperating at home and occasionally goes to the yamen, but people can make a clear picture of his proposed folds, which is really a little less vigilant.
According to the sixteenth elder brother, there are not one or two people staring at the father and son of the Nian family now.
If Nian Xi doesn't return this fold, if he does, he will have to wait for the Quartet to attack.
Because of the mention of "fire consumption to the public", one of the three major virtues of the Yongzheng Dynasty, Cao Hao was still quite attentive at the time and waited for the following.
Unexpectedly, in the end, there was no follow-up. He still felt strange, he didn't know if Nian Xi was secretly folded, or if he was left open.
He already had no ill feelings towards Nian Xi, and when he heard that Nian Xi was planning such an excerpt, he was even more impressed.
Nian Xi is only in his twenties, and it is not easy to have such insight. In addition, he has done the excerpt of canceling the "untouchables" before, which can be said to be reporting to the king and taking pity on the people, which is already much better than many officials.
He had a solemn look on his face, thought for a moment, and said, "You go back first, your sister doesn't dare to accept you, because she is afraid that the Thirteen Fujin will be sad." She will do her best, and if it doesn't work out, don't blame her. ”
Qigege was already desperate, but when he heard Cao Hao's words, he had a little hope, nodded repeatedly, and his tears couldn't stop rolling down.
Cao Hao's remarks were in line with what Chu Yu said before, which made Qi Gege feel guilty in his heart. It turned out that my sister didn't help herself, but she didn't know if she could help her...... Cao Hao sighed and said, "You are busy at home, so I won't stay here today, and I will go with your sister to see you." ”
Qigege didn't want to lose his temper in front of people, so he lowered his head and responded, and asked Cao Hao to get on the horse first.
Cao Hao didn't say more, and rode a horse and said goodbye to Qigege.
Although he knew that at this time, he would come forward to recommend the imperial doctor to Nian Xi to take the trouble and risk, but when he heard that Nian Xi was critically ill, Cao Hao still made a decision in his heart.
This is a favor, I want to help.
In the eyes of others, Nian Xi is just the eldest son of Nian Qianyao, and he is the object that can be stammered or attacked; In Cao Hao's eyes, Nian Xi is a good official who will take care of the livelihood of the country.
The reason why he should accept it in the name of Chu Yu is that he does not want to have a mustard in Qigege's heart, and he does not want to connect the Cao family and the Nian family in front of the world.
He knew that the Nian family was not far from the unlucky one.
Speaking of which. Now in the eyes of outsiders, the Cao family and the Nian family cannot be said to be incompatible, and they also have some grudges.
The one who succeeded Li Xi weaving for Suzhou and was ordered to raid the Li family was not someone else, but Nian Qianyao's in-laws and confidants.
When Cao Hao returned to the garden, Chu Yu thought that he was really worried about his sister, and he had nothing to hide, and said that his sister came to ask for help. What she thinks coincides with what Cao Hao thinks.
That is, to invite Fang Zonggong to the Nian Mansion, but don't let the Cao family get too close to the Nian family.
Originally, this kind of thing, the thirteenth elder brother and the thirteenth Fujin came forward the best, after all, Fang Chonggong is now nominally the palace worship.
"Or, let's go and ask for the thirteenth uncle and thirteenth aunt?" Chu Yu said.
"Don't make it difficult for the Thirteen Masters and the Thirteen Fujin. If they could have agreed, they would have done so. Cao Hao said.
Thirteen Fujin is afraid of the queen, afraid that the queen will be too careful, and does not want to have anything to do with the young concubine's mother's family; On the thirteenth elder brother's side, it is Saint Entylon, in order to protect himself, he can only be a lonely minister.
The Nian family is not only the royal family, but also has two sons who are feudal officials.
If it is a recommended imperial doctor, it will not cure Nian Xi, but it is just to prevent Nian Qianyao's anger; If it is cured, you have to think about it, whether the emperor will be jealous.
Grace is sometimes a double-edged sword.
Chu Yu saw that her husband didn't want to think about it, so she rejected her proposal, showing a little unbearable, and said, "If there is a glimmer of hope, we can't just watch the seventh sister be widowed." ”
"You come forward. Ming said that I will accompany you in the garden of the thirteenth master's house. As a sister, it is reasonable for you to care about the sister who is married. Cao Hao thought for a moment and said.
When Chu Yu heard this, his face showed joy, and then he frowned again, and said, "Where is the thirteenth uncle and thirteenth aunt?" ”
Since the Thirteenth Elder Brother and Fu Jin have rejected Qigege, Chu Yu will be a little uninteresting when he comes to the door again at this time, and he may offend people.
"Over there, I'll go and say it myself." Cao Hao said.
In fact, with the relationship between the Cao family and Fang Chonggong, wanting to receive Fang Chonggong for a visit is just a matter of saying hello. It's just that now that the Thirteen Elder Brothers, the Thirteen Fujin attaches great importance to Fang Chonggong, and Cao Hao doesn't want to be rude.
Fortunately, the Thirteenth Elder Brother and the Thirteenth Fujin are just worried, not random people. Therefore, when Cao Hao mentioned that he wanted to take over Fang Zonggong's family last year, the two of them didn't say much.
The thirteenth elder brother looked at Cao Hao's gaze, and with a little appreciation, he said with a smile: "If Fu Ruo does this, he will repay his grievances with virtue, and he is worthy of the word 'benevolence and righteousness'." ”
Cao Hao had an unpleasant affair with the Nian family in Ganzhou, and the thirteenth elder brother already knew about it.
He didn't believe that his Cao Hao and his wife came over, just because Chu Yu cherished his sister. In the eyes of the thirteenth elder brother, it was Cao Hao who moved his "kindness and benevolence" and acquiesced in his wife to help.
Although the thirteenth elder brother had a lot of complaints about Cao Hao's "woman's benevolence" in the early years, now he can only praise Cao Hao in his heart for having the quality of being a concubine.
Fang Chonggong was very happy, and when he saw Cao Hao coming in person, he didn't ask which one he was going to, so he nodded directly.
In fact, the so-called Cao Hao and his wife came to the door to "beg hard" for half a day or something, but they were just doing it for others to see. Otherwise, with the precedent of Cao Hao and his wife, I don't know how many people will run over.
Coming out of the garden of Prince Yi's mansion, Cao Hao and Chu Yu did not return to Cao Garden, and directly took Fang Chonggong back to the city last year's house.
On the carriage, there were some precious medicinal materials prepared yesterday.
In Fang Chonggong's hand, he was playing with a few small brown pills, and from time to time he put them to his lips and licked them......*
