"Divorce?" When only the father and son were left, Cao Hao knew the purpose of Li Xu's visit to Jiangning, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Father, Dong E's family is not the only one in Kali, now his family is in the public position, and there are many people in other side branches who inherit the rank of earl and son, and several generations have married with the clan, this uncle is so inappropriate!" ”

Cao Yin sighed and said, "Even you know this truth, will your uncle not know it?" He saw that Kali was making too much trouble in Jiangnan, and he was cold for half a year, so he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to have anything to do with it! ”

"This ...... There's no room for turnaround? Cao Haoyou didn't give up and continued to ask.

Cao Yin smiled bitterly: "If there is still any room, can the father still stand by and watch?" It's just that your uncle didn't listen to people's advice, and he went to the governor's palace first before coming to our side. Even if he was persuaded to go to the Governor's Palace to take back his previous words, would the Kali still allow him to repeat it? ”

* In the Doge's Palace, the inner hall.

Kali and his brother Seleqi sat at the bottom, each with an embarrassed face, and only looked at his mother, Jue Luo, who was sitting on the main seat.

Jue Luo's face was full of anger, his face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at the two concubines with his finger and was speechless. The two grandsons of Gandu and Gantai saw that their grandmother was so angry that their father couldn't speak, so they wanted to go to their grandmother to plead their feelings.

Gandu was closer, so he took two steps forward before Gantai, took tea and respectfully presented it to Jue Luo, and comforted: "Grandmother, dissipate your anger, that Li family's coated villain, so repeatedly, it's not worth being so angry!" ”

Jue Luo waved his hand and knocked over the teacup of Gandu, and said angrily: "I don't need you to be courteous, I don't know when my wife and son don't know?" If you hadn't given you Lao Tzu's idea, how could you have set up such a family for your sister?! Although your third uncle and third aunt said that they went early, there is still my old wife, and I can't allow you to practice Hui'er! ”

It was boring, and he didn't dare to dust off the water stains on his body, so he just hung his head and retreated melancholy.

Jue Luo looked at Kali and said angrily: "You say, what is the reason for the Li family?" Since there is already a marriage contract, how can you say that you can quit?! Although you are not Hui'er's Amma, but you are her own uncle, you can't treat her so casually! What did I say earlier, the girls of our family, how difficult it is to refer to decent family affairs through the draft! You said that you were reluctant to marry this niece to Jiangnan, and asked me to ask for exemption from election! What does that say now? ”

Seeing his mother-in-law reprimanding him like this in public, Kali felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said impatiently: "Don't worry about it, this has her own son's cooking." It's just that the Li family doesn't come to quit their relatives, and their son will also retreat, it was just a joke at the beginning, where is it serious! Hui'er is only fourteen this year, and next year's election is a good time, and these seventeen princes and several princes of the palace have not yet been blessed and promoted! Even if this Chang Fujin is hopeless, the side Fujin will always be unable to run, where is it better than giving that coat to the Li family! ”

Jue Luo was so angry that he shouted: "What are you talking about!" Joking?! You can say it! You should laugh about marriage events, but how can Hui'er be a person? Are you embarrassed to mention the draft? What are you a royal for? How can the royal family allow you to repeat it like this?! ”

She paused, and her voice raised again: "What is being said about you now, you don't know when you are an old woman, and now you have this unacceptable plan!" Even if Hui'er points to which palace, this Jiangnan incident is passed on, do you still want her to live? You're trying to force her to death......" The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and her voice became higher and higher.

This frightened everyone, and they hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor, and carried the old lady into the room, and the inner hall of the governor's palace was in chaos.

* Because of Li Xu's arrival, Zhuang Chang did not return to the weaving house. Although there is nothing to avoid when the guest and host are in the game, since he has already made a decision, he is impatient to deal with these officialdom exchanges, so he still stays in Qingliang Temple for the time being.

Li Xu originally wanted to return to Suzhou the next day, but because Gao Taijun insisted on going back with him, he stayed in Jiangning for another day. The Li family took his daughter-in-law Chu Yu and began to take care of the gifts for all kinds of people in the Li family, even Gao Taijun here, and he also prepared a lot.

Cao Hao was still thinking about seeing if he could persuade Li Xu to change his mind, but before he opened his mouth, he asked Li Xu to push back without yin or yang. The old guy smiled and said, "You'er is out of the way, and now you can also guide your uncle!" It's just that this is a family matter after all, and Li Xu, the county lord's teachings, will listen to it next time! ”

What else can Cao Hao say about his gesture? Even Cao Yin, seeing his son being ridiculed like this, was a little annoyed, and he was even more reluctant to take care of his family's affairs.

Cao Hao remembered that the Li family was raided after Yongzheng came to power, and it was more than ten years to count, knowing that they had nothing at the moment, so he was impatient to worry about him again, saving himself from buttoning down the hat of "arrogant and disrespectful", and he was really wronged.

I wanted to take Chu Yu out for a walk again, but because Chu Yu wanted to accompany the Li family, Cao Hao walked out of the mansion by himself, and happened to see Cao Song also coming out of the West Mansion.

Seeing his brother, Cao Song was very happy, and stepped forward: "Brother, where are you going?" He was also stuffy, and he came back for several days, and every time he was taught a lesson by Zhao Jia's ears. The reason was the collection of the house, but this time because of the rush on the road, Mama Zhang did not come back. But Zhao Jia's got the news as early as last year and knew that his son had taken in a maid in Beijing to make a room.

When Zhao Jia's family married Cao Quan, there were two rooms in Cao Quan's room, and he was very uncomfortable, and later he found Yuzi to send them out. She suffered this herself, and she did not want to stab her future daughter-in-law in the heart, so she disciplined her sons strictly. Originally, I looked at this eldest son, although her surname was reckless, but she was well-behaved to the maids and daughters-in-law in the family, and she did not look lustful at all, and she was still very proud. I didn't think about it, and I received the house two months after entering Beijing.

At first, Zhao Jia's family also wanted to complain and complain about Cao Hao, thinking if his son followed his brother to do the same, so he was like this. As a result, Mama Zhang knew in the letter that except for a serious daughter-in-law around Cao Hao, there were no concubines who had a room.

Although he is often with the Li family, he will not gossip about his children's younger generations, but Zhao Jia's still feels that he has fallen and feels very uncomfortable. chattered to Cao Song for several days, and asked him to immediately write a letter to send the maid in the capital away.

Cao Song was so nagged that he couldn't do anything, so he asked the little girl to pretend that his brother called him, deceived Zhao Jia's family, slipped out, and happened to meet Cao Hao who also came out.

Cao Hao saw Cao Song and said with a smile: "I felt bored before I came out for a walk, where is the second brother going?" ”

Cao Song raised his eyebrows and smiled a little ambiguously: "Brother, why don't we go to the Qinhuai River?" After saying that, he regretted it a little, and hurriedly shook his head: "It's inappropriate, it's not appropriate, my brother is a person with a sister-in-law, how can I go to that kind of place?" ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help laughing, look at what this kid said, if he didn't know what he heard, he thought he was a frequent visitor.

Xiao Man, who was following behind Cao Hao, also felt uncomfortable, so he said: "Second master, this is wrongful, our master is a serious person, when did it rarely go to that kind of place?" ”

Wei Hei smiled and said, "Second son, hey, if there is an interesting place, you should call Lao Hei to go!" ”

Cao Song first glanced at Xiao Man: "Don't pretend to be a master, your kid Mao hasn't opened up yet, and there are fewer broken things to hook up with the little maid everywhere?" This is not a serious person! Then he waved his hand at Wei Hei: "Brother Wei, it's not good to mess around with you in the future, so that the sister-in-law won't wait to see us in the future!" ”

Xiao Man and Wei Hei both laughed at one sentence, Cao Hao thought about it, and said to Cao Song: "If it's okay, let's go to Qingliang Mountain, Mr. Zhuang's brother is in Qingliang Temple!" Go over and say hello to him, just in time to go and chat. ”

Cao Hao was very idle, so naturally he had no objections, and the group went to Qingliang Temple.

It was also not a coincidence that Mr. Zhuang went out to visit friends. Cao Hao asked the little monk Zhiran again, but was told that he had been out of the town since June, and he heard that he was now placing orders in a temple in Huainan and had not returned to Jiangning.

Everyone came in a hurry, and returned in a state of sorrow, but the sky was not beautiful, and it rained again when they went down the mountain. Although the rain is not heavy, the rain of this wax moon on the body makes people feel cold all over the body. So they took reins of their horses and took shelter from the rain under a big tree by the mountain gate, thinking that the rain would be less and then go home.

Not far away, there were two carriages parked, and a few long entourage, which also seemed to be sheltered from the rain. Speaking of which, they still arrived first. Looking at the clothes, they are all very bright, like the proud servants of a large family.

It was cold, and the horses were not comfortable, so the horse that Xiaoman was riding snorted and pulled a soak of horse manure on the ground.

Cao Hao and they are all old men, although they feel that it smells a little bad, but they don't care about these things.

The proud servants not far away were a little unhappy. Seeing that Cao Hao and the others were dressed just ordinary, and there were few servants who followed, they didn't pay attention to it. It's also a shame that they don't have eyesight, they look decent, but they are just servants of the merchant family, where have they seen really rich and noble people? Even if Cao Hao and Cao Song are wearing clothes, they are not something that can be seen on the market. It is estimated that in their eyes, it is not as decent as those new coats on them. It's arrogant to think about it, otherwise I wouldn't dare to be arrogant.

I don't know what to say to the people in the car, a person who looks like a steward raised his head and waved at Cao Hao and them.

Cao Hao and Cao Song both felt strange, and after looking at the man for a while, they didn't understand what it meant, so they naturally ignored it. followed them out, in addition to Wei Hei and Xiao Man, there was also Cao Song's little ink book. Mo Shu looked at it and whispered to Cao Song: "Master, the slave went over and took a look?" ”

Cao Song snorted: "What are you looking at?" Don't bother. ”

The steward was a little impatient, and shouted, "Look at you, what are you called!" As he spoke, he pointed to the horse manure on the ground: "Hurry up and pick it up, save yourself from smoking my young lady!" ”

Cao Song was bored, and when he saw that he had fun, he laughed twice: "Hey, your young lady is strange for Jingui." Why haven't you heard, when did this Qingliang Mountain become your back garden? ”

The steward was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You kid, can't you find death?" Let's see how the master teaches you a good lesson! As he spoke, he beckoned to the other servants and rushed over to Cao Hao.

Hearing that there was a female dependent sitting in the carriage of the other party, Cao Hao didn't want to worry about it, but seeing that this steward was disrespectful to Cao Song, and now he had to make inches of progress, he was unhappy, and scolded: "Who are you from, so you don't know the rules?" ”

The steward was about to say something, but he saw the corner of the carriage curtain behind him slightly opened, and a delicate voice came out: "Yang Fa, don't be rude!" ”

Everyone looked at the carriage, and as they spoke, a young woman in a silver-red cloak came down. Although he is not very old, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but looking at the hair and clothing style, he is indeed married. I saw that the black hair was not messy, the eyebrows were drawn on the pink and tender face, and the makeup was extremely exquisite.

I saw her helping a little maid get out of the car, and then she looked over with a smile, and finally her eyes fell on Cao Hao, and she leaned over: "The concubine has seen the eldest son!" ”

Cao Hao was slightly stunned, he only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.

Cao Song and Wei Hei were both from the past, and the little woman's eyes were eager to stick to Cao Hao's body, just as the romantic debt he left behind, and whispered and joked beside him.

It was the young woman's servant, who looked at Cao Hao with a little suspicion. Cao Hao was amused in his heart, if he really caused a debt, Cao Song could still say, where could he hide it from Wei Hei?

Seeing that Cao Hao was silent, the little woman frowned slightly, tears rolled in her eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Has the eldest prince forgotten his old friend?" ”

Cao Hao sighed in his heart, except for his sisters and relatives, he had never seen much of this woman, and he had only seen a handful in Jiangning. If this person changes his style now, I'm afraid he won't be able to remember who it is for a while, but who else is doing this, except for the half-sister of the Zheng family brothers and sisters, the granddaughter and daughter-in-law of the Bai family, Yang Shi Ruixue, who else?

Cao Hao is not a person who cares about women, otherwise he would not have deliberately explained yesterday in Zhenbaozhai for fear of the shopkeeper's misunderstanding. Therefore, he just nodded and said, "Because I don't know whether to call 'Miss Yang' or 'Grandma Bai' for a while, I'm a little lazy!" ”

When Yang Ruixue heard this, her eyebrows were crooked, and her face immediately flushed. Speaking of which, she and Cao Hao have only met once, although she has thoughts in her heart, but she didn't think that Cao Hao really remembered herself. Fang Cai's attitude is only because of self-suffering. Although she is married to her cousin, she is a gentleman and does not take her to heart. Now, her father is sick again, and her mother is also coaxed by the Bai family, and she doesn't care much about her daughter.

Then Yang Ruixue took two steps forward and said, "Childe and Ruixue were originally teenagers, so why be so polite." Speaking of this, he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "If you start from my sister, Ruixue is also the sister-in-law of the son!" ”

When Cao Hao saw her step forward, he originally wanted to get off the horse and entertain her, but after hearing her words, he saw her look at her with silky eyes, and his body suddenly felt cold.

He looked at Yang Ruixue and said, "It's about Miss Zheng's reputation, and Grandma Bai needs to be cautious!" ”

Yang Ruixue was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or annoyed in her eyes, and she opened her mouth and wanted to say something more. Cao Hao hugged his fist and said that he was one step ahead, and before she could react, the group had already ridden away.

Wei Hei and Cao Song originally had no association with the terms "Miss Yang" and "Young Grandma Bai", but when they heard Cao Hao's last sentence, this was related to Miss Zheng, and it was naturally a member of the Yang family in Bihelou, so the two of them had no good impression of her in their hearts.

Cao Song muttered: "Where is this like a good woman, with heavy makeup, dressed up like this to come to the temple, is it to burn incense and worship the Buddha, or to hook up with monks?" ”

Wei Hei heard him mean to him, and said with a smile: "The second prince shouldn't say this, I don't have to spoil the monks of Qingliang Temple!" ”

Cao Hao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the two of them say funny: "Where are you so unbearable?" Leave some morality, in the end, it is a woman's family, why bother! ”

Cao Song pursed his lips and didn't say anything, Wei Hei said in a low voice: "Childe, look at her to you, it seems that she has something in mind, should we be wary of this?" ”

When Cao Song heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and was glared at by Cao Hao, and stopped. Cao Hao looked at Wei Hei and said a little helplessly: "Brother Wei, this is serious, she is a little woman, what can she calculate for me?" It's just that I happened to meet today, let's go north in a few days, where will we meet her? ”

Wei Hei thought about it, too, this is still a problem developed in the capital, and he has taken too much precautions against anyone.

Although the rain was lighter, the sky was gray because of the cloudy day.

When he was about to enter the city, Cao Song found that not far from the roadside was like a person curled up, and he hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse: "Brother, Brother Wei, there seems to be a person lying there!" With that, he rode over to check.

Cao Hao and Wei Hei also rode over, but how could they not be human? Wearing a cyan cloth jacket, dressed as a small servant, his face was covered in blood.

Cao Song was taken aback: "It's dead!" ”

Wei Hei dismounted, tried the man's snort, and said, "There is still gas!" Just dizzy! ”
