v April 26, it is advisable to go to the beam and move.

This is the housewarming of Cao Mansion, and the choice is Cao Hao, Tianyou father and son.

The related things have already been packed and packed, and the boxes have been packed, only to wait until the day to move directly to the new house.

The ancients preferred old objects, and the furniture furnishings paid attention to inheritance and simplicity.

Cao Hao is not an ancient person after all, and his heart is more suitable for the set in his previous life, and of course he needs new furniture for his new home.

In addition to the houses of the two generations of the Li family and Chu Yu, which were vacated and kept for their dowry, the other living rooms, study rooms, flower halls and even the children's new houses on the other side of the new house were replaced with new furniture.

The furniture on the Cao Mansion side is classified, some are still kept, and some are put away and put into storage.

In this way, when it comes to moving, there are many fewer big things.

The people under each courtyard have already divided several people, and they have gone to clean the new house in advance.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

On April 26, Cao Hao and Chu Yu got up early, and then went to the Orchid Courtyard for breakfast.

After breakfast, Cao Hao and Chu Yu asked Li to take Tianhui to Dongfu for a while.

After all, Caofu has been inherited for five generations, and although it doesn't look obvious from the outside, it has a bit of family background.

In order not to be eye-catching, as early as three days before the relocation, I took advantage of the lack of people in the early morning to transport a lot of things to the new house.

Even so, there are a lot of those that are commonly used.

Not to mention the Li family's dowry, let's just say that Chu Yu's dowry and the private house saved for her daughter filled a few rooms.

It takes half a day to move things out of the house from here to there and settle them properly.

Cao Hao and his wife wanted to preside over the relocation, but the Li family was old, and Tianhui was a lady in the boudoir.

As for Changsheng, because he was already fourteen years old, he was left behind by Cao Hao; Tianbao is still young, and he went to Dongfu with his husband to read early.

Heng Sheng arrived after breakfast, he was on duty, in order to free up the day's work, he deliberately exchanged the night with his colleagues before coming out of the palace.

After a while, Zuo Zhu and Wei Wenzhi also arrived.

Coupled with the Cao Xiang couple and Tianhu who came from Dongfu, there are a lot of serious people.

Related moving matters, there are stewards taking the lead, and children and nephews staring.

There is really no place for Cao Hao to do it himself.

Cao Hao called Cao Xiang to the study, set up the chessboard, and made tea, with a posture of tasting tea and talking about it.

Cao Xiang was worried about the shortage of manpower here, so he made a special trip to take leave from the Hanlin Academy and came to help, but he didn't expect his cousin to be so idle.

Seeing that Tianyou took a few small ones, divided into three beginnings, one went to the new house to star, one went to the old house, and one escorted valuables, but the cousin shook the folding fan, with a leisurely look, Cao Xiang couldn't help but be full of confusion, and said: "Big brother, the nephews are still young, and moving is a big deal, are we also staring at some ......?"

Cao Hao shook his fan and said, "What's the matter?" God bless them are already seventeen, and Heavenly Protector and Immortal are also fourteen, where are they still young? Think about what we were doing when we were seventeen? And they should take the work......"

Cao Xiang was stunned when he heard this, what were their brothers doing when they were seventeen?

My cousin has gone to Beijing, serving as a guard in front of the emperor, and is surrounded by the powerful...... The second brother is also in Beijing, but he also began to socialize with his cousin...... When the third brother was so old, he was already ...... When I was so old, I left the capital as an official for the sake of obsession in my heart...... When the fifth brother was so old, he followed his uncle to study...... Compared with the older generation of brothers, God bless their generation is comfortable enough and lacks fire.

Regardless of the prerequisite, there is a parent to rely on.

Unlike their older brothers, they caught up with the Cao family's turmoil. Especially their second brother, who is at the funeral of his father, thanks to the care of his uncle and cousin.

The uncle is old and sick, and the cousin is responsible for revitalizing the family...... The brothers were young, and that was the most difficult time for the Cao family...... Thinking of these, Cao Xiang also relaxed, and said: "It's still the eldest brother who can see through, let go when it's time to let go, like a hen, protect them under her wings, when will they become talents?" ”

Cao Hao pushed the teacup in front of him and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we have educated those who should be educated, and the rest depends on their own ...... It is good to hope that the son will become a dragon, but the saint still has the saying of 'teaching according to aptitude'......"

When Cao Xiang heard this, his face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Big brother, I know, I ...... in the future."

Cao Hao sighed and said, "I'm not saying that it's wrong for you to pay attention to your nephew's homework, it's just that Tianyu's age is there, and it is the age of innocence that forces him to sit for a day, even if he is obedient, he may not be able to learn?" Everything is too much, if he is forced to completely get tired of books, won't the fourth brother regret it? We also came from children, do you think about it? ”

Cao Hao's mention of this matter is not without purpose.

Since returning from Jiangnan, Cao Xiang has paid more attention to his nephew's homework, especially his sister-in-law Tianyu.

Not only did he have to check the endorsement every day, but when Tianyu's schoolwork couldn't keep up, he also started to play ten prototypes.

Seven or eight-year-old children, even frightened and painful, fell ill.

Everyone thought that after this incident, Cao Xiang's heart would soften, but they didn't expect him to become even worse.

Although Chunhua was reluctant, she knew that her son was indeed too delicate, and if she didn't teach, she was afraid that she would not succeed, so she didn't come forward to stop her.

Tianbao was closest to this cousin, and when he saw that he was in a pitiful situation, he begged his father seriously.

Even children know who speaks the most in the family.

Although Cao Hao had a lot of complaints about his cousin's method of teaching his son, he had no intention of interfering. He also has a son himself, and when he sees that Tianbao is sometimes naughty, he can't wait to beat him with a stick.

Father and son are connected, even if Cao Xiang beats Tianyu, the most uncomfortable person in his heart is not others, but his strict father.

Today, just in time for the two brothers to meet, Cao Hao remembered this and felt the need to warn his cousin.

The child's rebellion should not be neglected, if he is really forced to beat his heart and get tired of books, let alone beating with a ring ruler, it is useless to use a big stick wheel.

Cao Xiang sneered, drooped his head, and was silent.

Cao Hao ate tea slowly, picked up chess pieces to play music, and did not disturb his cousin's contemplation.

After a long while, I heard Cao Xiang sigh faintly and said, "Big brother, what do you and the second brother think, why did you allow Xiao Wu to turn to six back then, instead of me?" ”

Cao Hao said: "What else can I do for it?" In terms of age, you are the eldest and he is the youngest; In terms of grade, you are high, and he is low. Father, son and brother avoided it together, so he should have avoided it. ”

Of course, so, it seems right, but where did so much of course come from?

Cao Xiang raised his head and said: "Cousin, Xiao Wu is not only a grandson, but also a ............ taught by his uncle's father" Speaking of this, it was undeniable, and said: "In the end, there is a difference between the concubines and the concubines."

This question has been buried in his heart for several years.

He knew that although the East Mansion and the West Mansion were nominally separated, the brothers still had their cousin as the head of the horse.

If it weren't for the cousin's nod, Xiao Wu would not have left Hanlin to make room for himself.

But why did the cousin nod?

For the brothers in Dongfu, because the second brother is young, the brotherhood behind the eldest brother is heavier, and the remaining few are small, because of the limited contact when they are young, the feelings are almost the same, and there is no bias.

Judging by his words and deeds, he is quite a rule-oriented and pays attention to his descendants, why is he an exception here?

Hearing the words "there is a difference between the concubines", Cao Hao's expression was condensed, and he looked at Cao Xiang and said, "Is there a difference between the concubines?" Do you really see yourself that way? Your brothers, whether they are concubines or concubines, are all my cousins. The second brother has half of the Cao family's blood and half of the second aunt's blood; Your body is half of Aunt Bao's blood and half of the Cao family's blood. With me, with the Cao family, you are no different. ”

This bloodline theory made Cao Xiang fascinated.

I heard Cao Hao say: "The same is true for Tianhu, Tianhu, Tianyang are my nephews, Tianyu and Tianwang are also my nephews, and these are the concubines, no matter what you think of Lao Tzu, I will not divide my nephews into three, six, nine and so on......"

Cao Xiang heard this, and thought that because he saw the eldest son of the concubine working hard, he was afraid that the concubine would be suppressed by the concubine in the future, so he forced the concubine to study, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Yes, in terms of blood, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, they all have their own blood flowing on their bodies.

After saying this in one breath, Cao Hao took two sips of tea, and then said: "I don't despise concubines, but I don't support concubines...... I have never hidden this from your brothers...... Aunt Bao is honest, and Aunt Tianyang is also responsible, so you don't need to make any jokes over there. In the eyes of the fourth brother, what he saw before getting married was that his mother was unvirtuous and treated the concubine harshly; After getting married, the wife is virtuous, and the wife and concubine are beautiful. I must think that the wives in this world should be like the four brothers and sisters, pursuing the way of virtue, and only then can they follow the four virtues of women. But now you also have a daughter, when Sister Min is older, she will go out in the future, and she will directly become a cheap mother, and the fourth brother will also make Sister Min virtuous and generous? …… How many families in this world have made their homes uneasy for the sake of this wife, concubine, concubine, and concubine...... There is really a bad luck, and it is not uncommon for families to be ruined and incense to be cut off...... Let's just say that when you were in Jiangning, you also saw Aunt Zhang's rampant and Aunt Lu's strength. I'm a lazy person, and I'm most tired of trouble, and I don't bother with these things, and I don't want to worry about my children and grandchildren...... I have already explained to God that I am not allowed to accept concubines, and I am not allowed to have concubines, just because I am afraid that the fourth brother and the third sister and the fifth sister will think too much, and this family law is not written into the family rules; But a hundred years ago, I would have to add this ......"

Cao Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and said loudly: "Concubine...... Can't you give birth too? ”

Cao Hao sighed and said, "Fourth brother still doesn't understand? Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness. The second uncle died early, and he didn't care about the upbringing of his children, so he was not obviously biased against your brothers...... If it really hurts one of them, will the other brothers be jealous? siblings, and those who turn against each other because of their parents' favor; Not to mention half-brothers? But people's hearts are biased, just like before you got married, you thought that you couldn't wronged Tianyang's mother and son; But now? I think I can't wronged my wife and son-in-law. You are also respecting the different etiquette of the family, which is in line with the way of the family, but the etiquette can be greater than the favor? The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, do you have to press one side to protect the other? Now that you're in a dilemma, who can you blame......"
