Zhili, Wuqing Wharf.

On the way back to the Li family, everyone from the Cao family was on the dock on a few large ships. When I returned to Beijing this time, I did not take the official ship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then the private ship arranged by the Governor's Office.

Originally, Cao Song was also prepared, but Li Wei had already arranged it, so he had no choice but to be respectful and obey.

In addition to the Cao family, Li Wei's eldest son, Li Xingyuan, also walked with everyone.

The Li family was already rich in Xuzhou, and Li Wei was a governor in Jiangnan, so there were dozens of subordinates and slaves who served by Li Xingyuan's side. took two boats and followed behind the Cao family's boat.

Here, there are three waterways from Tongzhou Wharf, and after Cao Xiang asked Li for instructions, he sent Wu Mao to bring people back to Beijing to report the news.

From Tongzhou Wharf back to Beijing, you have to arrange a sedan car to pick it up in Beijing.

Although the journey was tiring, except for Chunhua and the children, the older generation had done a few boats, but there was not much discomfort.

Needless to say, the ladies and dependents are all on a big ship.

It is said that relatives are "fragrant from afar and smelly close", and Zhaojia's and Li's mean a little bit.

In the early years in the capital, looking at the infinite scenery of the Li family, Zhao Jia's eyes were red with jealousy, even if he lowered his head, but because of his surname, he had to say a bunch of sour words.

Before the separation, the second room leaned against the long room to take care of; After the separation, the sons of the second room were young and could only rely on their cousins. She, a widow, can't be hard if she wants to, and has been a wife in the General Military Mansion for a few years, Zhaojia's heart is wide and fat, slightly rich, her vision is wide, and her heart and eyes are no longer as big as a needle's nose, and her words are not as sharp as in her early years.

It's just that outside of the words, she is full of pride. is not to praise the eldest son Cao Song's talent, or to talk about the fourth sister who has become a prince and a prince.

Li just listened good-naturedly, knowing that his younger brother and sister were envious of Changfang in the early years, and now he is a little angry.

The long room has the prince Fujin, and the second room also has it; There is a duchess in the long room, and a prince and concubine in the second room; The eldest son of the long house is the official of the book, and the eldest son of the second room is on the general position.

Even if Cao Hao is still the highest official position in the Cao family, Chu Yu's dignity is incomparable to that of several cousins and daughters-in-law, but he can't stand the number of second rooms.

Changfang only has two sons, Changsheng is still young, and it will take a few years to become a leader, let alone when he will gain a foothold in officialdom; The Changfang brothers have already come out, and the youngest Xiao Wu is already Zhizhou.

Because they were on the road, Cao Fu was promoted to prefect with the news of Puzhou's promotion, and Zhao Jia's family didn't know about it, otherwise he wouldn't know how to be proud.

Let's talk about the younger generation, what can Tianyou do if he becomes a talent, and the grandchildren now only have two men, Tianyou and Tianbao; On the second side of the house, there are already seven grandchildren...... Accustomed to listening to Zhao Jia's sour words, Li is patient to listen to her chatter. After all, there are only two old concubines left in the older generation, and although there were discords in the early years, they were mostly trivial things.

is old, old, the two of them are companions together, talking about idle stories, and they can also pass the time.

The only thing that made the Li family uncomfortable was that even if Chunhua was with him, Cao Xiang was arranged inside and out, and Zhao Jia's was also faint, even if he didn't pick anything, he didn't say a word in his mouth, he completely ignored it.

For the grandson and granddaughter of the fourth room, in addition to the grandson Tianyang, he also said a few more words, and Tianyu and Sister Min were just mediocre.

Even if Chunhua has a good temper, Zhao Jia's is so unpretentious, and he shows his deeds in front of the child, which makes the Tianyang brothers and sisters more careful in front of Zhao Jia's family.

After all, Cao Xiang and his family went south for their own sake, and seeing their husband and wife embarrassed, Li felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the Li family was on the boat behind, otherwise it would have been a joke for outsiders.

On the way, knowing that Zhaojia's family didn't like his son-in-law, the Li family asked Chunhua to take care of a few children, and easily didn't let her go to Zhaojia's family; Seeing that the capital is imminent, if the Zhaojia clan is still like this, it will be difficult for the East Mansion to be peaceful.

If Cao Song and Cao Fu brothers are in Beijing, it's okay, but Cao Xiang's family will go out alone.

But in the current situation, there is only Cao Xiang in the capital, and if he really wants to leave his mother-in-law and go out alone, Yu Shi can only feel that Cao Xiang violates filial piety.

Li hesitated for a few moments, and felt that he still had to persuade one or two.

is not only taking care of Cao Xiang and his wife, but also because of the East Mansion and the West Mansion, several brothers and grandchildren, are each other's inside and outside. If there is a lot of trouble in the East Mansion, the reputation of the West Mansion will not be inseparable.

This year, there are major events such as God's blessing and Hengsheng, and the Li family doesn't want to have more troubles because of the dispute between Zhaojia's family and his concubine and daughter-in-law.

After stopping at Wuqing Wharf, the children were not in front of him, so Li mentioned the matter to Zhaojia's: "The nephew and daughter-in-law are virtuous, and the children are also older, so you should be more kind as a grandmother...... After all, I'm going to call you grandmother......"

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't have a backache when I stand and talk...... If Brother Shun didn't die early, he should marry a wife and have children, sister-in-law, can you really treat him as a son and daughter-in-law? ”

Li Shi was so choked that he couldn't speak, and said half-loudly: "Don't think about others, just think about Xiao Er." Even if you don't like Xiao Si, Xiao Er has nothing to say to this younger brother...... If you let Xiao Er know that you don't get along, then it's Xiao Er who cares...... There are also two nieces and granddaughters, and the second niece and daughter-in-law will only enter Beijing next year, and before that, they have to rely on their four aunts to take care of them...... When the two nieces and granddaughters are drafted, if it seems to really refer to the clan, relatives and relatives, who knows if the four nieces and daughters-in-law will be related to each other...... The younger brother and sister are also in the year of the sixtieth year, and they are uncomfortable to be the old feudal monarch, do they still want their nephews and daughters-in-law to beg for the keys in their hands and be housekeepers again? ”

Although Li spoke slowly, he talked about Zhao Jia's itch.

Among the children, what she put on her heart is not the youngest son and young daughter, but the eldest son Cao Song.

Last year, she had a big birthday, and Cao Song asked for a seal again, which became her most proud.

Although according to the usual practice, the wife and mother of officials can dress up with the rank of the official, but with the official title of the wife, they have more confidence.

Her courtyard in the General Soldier's Mansion was cleaned up according to Sun Taijun's past pattern, and the big and small maids around her were all examples from her early years.

Originally, she also installed a blue yarn cupboard, wanting to follow her mother-in-law to raise her eldest grandson by her side.

I don't know what Jing Hui thinks in her heart, but she responds on her face.

But Zhaojia's family has a smoking addiction, feels light, and Tianwang is a naughty age.

However, after a few days, Zhao Jia's family couldn't stand it, and only felt tired and hard, and the matter of "raising the eldest grandson" came to an end.

The reason why she didn't fake Chunhua was that she wanted to find a reason to take back the housework in her hands after returning to Beijing, and the province said that her son had something unpleasant.

After listening to Li's words, Zhao Jia's family realized that she was no longer a widow with a few children to support the door, but a second-class lady who had been officially entitled.

When you arrive in the capital, you will no longer be Li's follower when you go out to socialize. Even in front of the royal family, she is also the mother of important ministers, and she is somewhat respectful.

Even if the concubine and daughter-in-law are pressed, the identity of their mother-in-law and wife is pressed, can they still turn the sky upside down? The right to be a multiple housekeeper and housekeeper.

Although he thought about it in his heart, Zhao Jiashi still said stiffly: "Where is my unkindness? Can it be the same as not being kept by your side? I don't know if the fourth child and the fourth daughter-in-law said something behind my back, which made the children not close to me. ”

She is a scoundrel who fights a rake, Li has been a concubine for many years, and it is not the first time she has seen her, she only feels angry and funny, and said: "I also use their father and mother to say that my younger brothers and sisters now have more and more the prestige of the old feudal king, and even the adults are careful with their faces, not to mention the children's ......."

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Is it really so majestic?" ”

"Who's going to fool you?" Lee laughed.

Zhao Jiashi was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "After borrowing the light of Xiao Er, I finally survived to this day...... When I set the rules in front of the old lady, I thought about when I would be so majestic......"

Her heart is relieved, and it is not so eye-catching to look at her concubine and daughter-in-law, and since her attitude is not eager, she will soften it in the end...... Three days later, when Tianyou and Hengsheng came to Tongzhou to pick up people, what they saw was the loving and gentle Zhaojia.

Not only is her temper good, but she will also say good things in her mouth.

When she said hello to Tianyou, she had not left Hengsheng behind, and she had a "big nephew" and "second nephew", which made Tianyou and Hengsheng surprised.

Li knew about Zhao Jia's heart disease, and in his early years, he bowed his head in front of the long house.

She smiled and said to her two grandchildren: "Don't say hello to your uncle and grandmother, your second uncle is filial, and you have asked your uncle and grandmother to seal it...... In the future, at home, you will still be called uncle and grandmother...... If it is mentioned by outsiders, it must be said that Mrs. Dongfu ......"

Although they didn't know the intention of their grandmother's words, the two little brothers had already said their joy one after another.

Zhao Jia's smile was like a Miller, and he looked at the Tianyou brothers and felt a little more sincere and close.

Although some of the Li family left two grandsons to ask some family questions, in addition to the Cao family, there were also the governor's son and the servant of the governor's mansion who had entered Beijing together, so they had to send the Tianyou brothers to say hello first.

After Tianyou met Cao Xiang and Li Xingyuan, Li asked people to inquire about the affairs of the family in the past few months, especially when they asked about the delivery period in these days.

When he heard that Niuniu was born prematurely, Li's heart hung up; I also heard that Ping'an had only a son, and it was the birthday of the Buddha, and the Li family had to recite a few more "Amitabha Buddhas" ......* The carriage of the Cao family to pick up people returned to Beijing, Li Xingyuan hesitated whether to directly follow the Li family to the Cao family to ask for peace to the uncle, Cao Xiang turned his head and told him to take the slave down to the house first, and then come over after two days of settlement.

As early as when he was in Jiangnan, Li Xingyuan worshiped his teacher.

Now that the teacher has opened his mouth to order, Li Xingyuan has honestly responded, said goodbye to several elders of the Cao family, and returned to the Li Mansion with his servants.

On Cao Hao's side, it wasn't until he met Cao Xiang that he knew that the Cao family's boat to Beijing was not arranged by his cousin, but arranged by Li Wei.

Li Wei is a superintendent to get a boat, which is definitely much more convenient than Cao Song.

This comfort is comfort, but it can reach the ears of the emperor, what will you think?

The boat of the Cao family carried the young man of the Li family to Beijing; Arranging a boat with the Li family, and going to Beijing with the Cao and Li families, this is not a reason.

Cao Hao stroked his forehead, and finally understood the reason why Yongzheng beat himself a few days ago......*
