Qingyuan City, Governor's Palace, Inner House.

"Staying in Shengjing temporarily?" Li Shi was a little puzzled and asked, "The prince of the clan, can you go out of Beijing for so long?" ”

Cao Jia's family letter came, mentioning that after worshipping his ancestors with Nersu, he stayed in the old palace of Shengjing and returned to Beijing later. It also made people bring a lot of special products from outside the Guan, mostly mountain delicacies.

Li felt that something was wrong, if it was in the time of the first emperor, the clan stayed outside the gate temporarily, and then went to Rehe to welcome the holy car, and it would be reasonable to follow the summer retreat; Now this emperor is not only diligent in government, but also very hard.

He was reluctant to let him take more than 100,000 horses and spend millions of silver dollars every year to escape the summer outside the Guan.

"My brother-in-law is hereditary, and unlike ordinary clan princes, there is a mansion in Shengjing. The two sides of the old prince's Fujin are in the Shengjing Palace. Now that the eldest brother has registered the son, there are people in charge of the palace, and the sister and brother-in-law are willing to be at ease outside. Cao Hao said.

Chu Yu also said: "The clan is usually confined in the capital, and there is a chance to breathe outside, of course I am reluctant to come back." ”

Li Shi listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "This is the truth, it is better to be depressed in Beijing than to be clean and comfortable outside." ”

Cao Hao and Chu Yu sat together for a while before returning to Wutong Garden.

The faces of the husband and wife were no longer relaxed and smiling, and Cao Jia's family letter also mentioned one thing.

said that it was the meaning of Nersu, and he wanted to say goodbye to Fuxiu. Cao Jiashi was looking forward to letting Tianhui be her daughter-in-law, and mentioned this matter to her younger brother and sister-in-law for the last time.

If the couple still doesn't agree, they have to choose another lady.

The husband and wife are not dissatisfied with the marriage of Fuxiu.

Even if the two of them refuse to "kiss and kiss" for the sake of their daughter, how can they not feel guilty about Cao Jia, who has always loved Tianhui?

Regarding the harm of close relatives, Cao Hao has already talked about it, and Chu Yu will not be stupid to ask her husband if he can change his mind.

In fact, Cao Hao was not uncomfortable for Fuxiu's marriage, but because Cao Jia's family asked his younger brother in the family letter, what kind of family he wanted to find for Tianhui.

Instead of promising to the lord's family, a wealthy family, and a trembling bride, where is there a place to marry into the palace, and the aunt is free to be a mother-in-law.

What kind of family do you choose for your daughter?

Cao Hao felt uncomfortable when he thought of this question. The men of this era are really worrying.

"My sister and brother-in-law are afraid that they will stay for a long time this time, so let people prepare more things and send them over as soon as possible." Cao Hao said.

Chu Yu nodded and said, "It's okay, the second aunt and grandmother and the prince went out of Beijing in the name of going out of the customs to sacrifice, and the things they brought may not be comprehensive. With this reason, it is ...... to get people to send more things."

While the husband and wife were talking, they heard a whisper from the courtyard.

Then, a maid said at the door: "Master, wife, the girl is here......"

Chu Yu hurriedly raised his voice and called in, and Tianhui, dressed in a pink and blue flag suit, came in generously.

Seeing the delicate little face of the baby daughter, Cao Hao and Chu Yu's mood also improved a little.

"Father, Mother!" Tianhui is blessed, Dao.

Chu Yu beckoned to her, called her to her side, and said, "So happy, it can be seen that you have received something good, tell us about it." ”

Tianhui carefully took out a pair of colorful bracelets from her purse and sent them to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu only felt heavy, and Cao Hao had already recognized it: "Huh? It's this pair of bracelets. ”

It is a diamond-set bracelet set with five-colored diamonds, each the size of a peanut. Although today's diamonds are not as valuable as they were 300 years ago, they are scarce and more expensive than other gemstones.

This pair of bracelets is one of the dowries of Cao Jia's pressure box. This bracelet has a Western style, and it was made by a foreign craftsman invited by Cao Yin to Guangzhou. At that time, all kinds of gemstone bracelets and collars were made into a box, and this bracelet was the most delicate and valuable.

Cao Hao watched it back then, and was amazed. He originally thought that the diamonds were imported from abroad, so the price was very high, so he made his sister laugh for a long time and showed him a geographical chronicle, and he learned that China also produces diamonds.

However, a bracelet like Cao Jia's is still rare in the world, and it can be worth 18,000 taels of silver.

At this time, Chu Yu also recognized that this was the bracelet that Cao Jia's family had carried, glanced at her husband, and said, "This is too valuable." ”

"This is my aunt's favorite, and my daughter doesn't dare to accept it at will." Tianhui's face did not feel the joy of receiving the gift, but added a bit of solemnity.

Chu Yu cushioned it with a handkerchief, put the bracelet aside, thought about it, and asked, "Did the second aunt and grandmother ever say that she wanted to give you this bracelet?" ”

When Tianhui heard this, her little face added a trace of discomfort, lowered her head and said softly: "My aunt once said that when her daughter grows up, she will give this pair of bracelets to her daughter......" Speaking of this, she raised her little face, and it was difficult to hide the sadness in her eyes, and asked: "Father, mother, is my aunt in trouble...... Why did this diamond bracelet say it was given? Although the aunt didn't say anything in the letter, the daughter always felt uneasy. ”

She is thirteen years older, half of her years, lives in Pingwangfu for most of the year, and has a deep relationship with Cao Jia's aunt and nephew, not weaker than her biological mother and daughter.

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "There is nothing difficult, don't think nonsense." The Han family has a number of rites, and the daughter is fifteen and Lu is an adult; In a full house, the girl can go out of the cabinet at thirteen. You're thirteen this year, not a kid......"

Tianhui looked at her mother again, Chu Yu was afraid that her husband would be there and her daughter would be restrained, so she said: "There are few people who wear diamond jewelry, and I didn't think it was before, but now I look at this bracelet, it is really beautiful." I also have a few here, you can see if you like any of them. As he spoke, he led his daughter to the inner room and sat down at the dresser.

Seeing his wife's behavior like this, Cao Hao knew that his wife had something to say, so he got up and went to the east study.

Chu Yu opened the dresser and found a few pieces of diamond jewelry, two diamond rings, the face of which was the size of a lotus seed, and a diamond collar buckle, which was a plum blossom inlaid with a diamond the size of a mung bean.

Tianhui took it, but she was a little absent-minded, and said in a low voice: "Mother, hasn't my aunt really encountered difficulties...... My uncle has been idle in the palace for two years, isn't it...... Isn't it the palace to blame ......?"

She was taught by Cao Jiashi when she was a child, and she was far more knowledgeable about the political situation than ordinary ladies.

Chu Yu rubbed her shoulders and explained: "Your brother-in-law is the king of iron hats, and he has military exploits, and the family is stable." Now is the time when the solar terms are changing, and the body is prone to disease, you must not be overly preoccupied. If you are really worried, not only will your father and I have to follow the suspense, but even your aunt will know it, and you will have to worry about it. ”

Although Tianhui still had doubts in her heart, she saw that her parents were calm and carefree, so she thought that even if there was something unusual on her aunt's side, there should be no big deal, otherwise her parents would be in a hurry.

I saw her obediently responding: "My daughter knows that she is wrong." ”

Chu Yu saw that her daughter looked peaceful, but she was a little worried. Cao Jia's desire to get married has not been interrupted for a while over the years, and Tianhui is more sensible than children of the same age. If a few words fall in her ears, then ...... She said casually: "Speaking of which, your aunt's family may have another happy event...... The fourth elder brother has also reached the age of getting married......"

When Tianhui heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "Great, when my daughter was in the palace, the fourth cousin treated her daughter the most kindly." The fourth cousin got married, and the daughter wanted to give a generous gift. ”

Chu Yu saw her daughter's smile like a flower, and she also smiled: "It should be." ”

Tianhui laughed a few more words, looked at the clock, and said, "My aunt is going to do work for her daughter, and my mother will let her daughter retire first." ”

"Don't hurt your eyes too much...... Chu Yu said a few words softly before letting her daughter go.

Cao Hao heard the movement, came from the East House, saw his wife thoughtful, and said, "Tell my daughter, Fuxiu is going to kiss?" What about the girl? ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "With a smile on his face, he said that he would prepare a congratulatory gift for Fuxiu." ”

"Wouldn't that be better, I'm really worried that my sister has no scruples about speaking and saying it in front of the children, so that they have a thought in their hearts." Cao Hao sat down and said.

It's not that he is old-fashioned, guarding against his daughter and nephew.

It's that in this era, the communication is closed, in addition to the family, the outsiders Tianhui can see are only a few cousins and cousins among the relatives.

Chu Yu sighed, a little worried: "Tianhui is not the surname of Xiyan, but today it is much more lively than usual. ”

Cao Hao didn't care, and said: "She has an idea when she is young, if she really takes Fuxiu to heart, she won't just do this, she will tell us directly." ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he disagreed.

The daughter's face is thin, even if she is good in other things, this little child's heart will be worried, who can be generous.

It's just that the man is careless, and she can't understand these words with her husband, so she won't waste this tongue.

In the afternoon, when Niuniu returned from Tianhui's needlework, Chu Yu sent someone over to invite Niuniu to come over and talk.

In the past few years, Tianhui has grown up, and she has begun to learn female red housekeepers, etc., and she is accompanied by Niuniu day and night.

If Tianhui has something on her mind, she may be able to hide Chu Yu's mother, but she can't hide Niuniu.

Chu Yu told Fuxiu about his relatives, and asked Niuniu: "Tianhui went back in the morning, but what was wrong?" My sister also knew that the second aunt and grandmother intended to marry Tianhui for Fuxiu in her early years. Among the several cousins on the palace side, Fuxiu and Tianhui were the closest. ”

In Niuniu's eyes, Tianhui is a niece and a sister.

It was about Tianhui, and she also brought solemnity, saying, "When Tianhui returned from my sister-in-law's side, I had already arrived. Looking at Tianhui's expression, it was a little melancholy, but it also brought a kind of relief. ”

Chu Yu heard this and said in surprise: "Why is this? ”

My sister-in-law and I also thought it was strange, so I asked. Tianhui said that she was a little reluctant to think that Brother Fuxiu would play with others in the future. But if Brother Fuxiu doesn't say goodbye, Miss Ziyue is afraid that she won't be able to keep it and will be kicked out by Fujin. She is one of Brother Fuxiu's two favorite girls, and if she is picked up, Brother Fuxiu will definitely be very sad. Now that this is very good, Fujin has a daughter-in-law, and Brother Fuxiu no longer has to be uncomfortable for the people around him. Niu Niu said.

Chu Yu didn't ask any more questions, but he also understood why.

Brother Wangfu, there are a lot of maids and maids waiting around him. In the past few years, Fuxiu has grown up, and it is common for people around him to have other thoughts.

Listening to the meaning of Tianhui's words, Cao Jia's family once picked up Fuxiu's favorite big girl.

Thinking about it, she really treats her niece like a daughter, and before she refused to marry her niece, her son had a concubine......
