Cao Hao's excerpt was sent to the Old Summer Palace.

When it was time to fall, Zuo Cheng said hello to Cao Hao and did not walk with him; Instead, he went to the Ministry of Industry and waited for his brother to live on the left, and the two brothers rode behind Cao Hao's official sedan chair, until they passed the Xihua Gate, and then urged the horse to approach and follow the waiter.

Jiang Jian saw the little buddies come up and rode to chat with them.

He remembered that Cao Hao had drafted the excerpt, and he had preliminarily decided on the candidate for Huguang, and his eyes stopped on Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Cheng was aware of it, and said: "It's only been a quarter of an hour since you were separated from me, and Mr. missed me?" ”

Jiang Jian stroked his beard and said, "It's because I think of Second Master Bai when he was a child...... It's going to be so fast, in the blink of an eye, Second Master Bai is going to be a father too......"

Hearing his words, Zuo Zhu's eyes also fell on his younger brother, and his eyes were full of pride.

Although when he remembered, Zuo Cheng's body had been conditioned better, but it was still not as good as other children in the house.

Seeing that he is growing up healthy now, and he can still do filial piety by his father's side, and share his worries for his father-in-law, Zuo Zhu is very happy for this younger brother; Coupled with the Ning family's room, there are only two brothers left in the bloodline, and seeing that there is an heir bloodline, there is only joy in the left residence.

Zuo Cheng laughed twice and whispered, "Mr. actually fooled me...... It's not right to look at the gentleman when he looks at me, maybe if he thinks something bad, it's definitely not because of this ......"

Inseparable from each other, Cao Hao hadn't opened his mouth yet, Jiang Jian naturally didn't talk much, and said: "Now that the old lady has arrived in Beijing, is the adult here also preparing for housewarming?" ”

Zuo Cheng saw that he avoided talking about it, and he was surprised, and said quietly on his face: "My father-in-law has already chosen a son, and the twenty-sixth of this month is auspicious, so it is appropriate to move ......."

Let's talk about it, the group arrived at Caofu Hutong.

Jiang Jian said hello to Cao Hao through the sedan curtain, and took the little girl back to his yard in the back street.

Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers dismounted, one pressed the sedan pole, and the other lifted the sedan curtain, serving Cao Hao to come out.

Cao Hao got off the sedan chair, looked at the two brothers who were respectfully about to step forward to help, couldn't help waving his hand, and said with a smile: "What is strange?" I'm not in my seventies or eighties, so why do I need to come here? ”

Zuo Cheng retreated behind his brother and said nothing with a smile; Zuo Zhu still stepped forward, grabbed Cao Hao's arm, and said seriously: "After entering the summer, my father-in-law has been greatly reduced...... Imperial Physician Chen had already explained that his father-in-law was not allowed to work too hard. When the old lady is gone, my father-in-law will not listen to the doctor......"

In the words, there was a strong sense of resentment.

Cao Hao glanced at him and said, "As the head of the house, you are getting bolder and bolder, and your old mansion is almost cleaned up, so can you urge people over there?" ”

Zuozhu nodded and said, "I urged twice, but I was blocked back by my son...... The son's meaning is still to follow the original plan and wait for his younger siblings to give birth before moving......"

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Inside the yamen, what is your relationship with Yongliang?" ”

Zuo Zhu thought for a while and said, "The fourth uncle takes good care of his son......

Yongliang is also a heart-wrenching person, after being expelled by his mother, he did not return to his family, but rented a small courtyard house and lived alone.

A pair of children, he did not take them with him, but knelt down and begged Mrs. Ning to stay in Ningfu for the time being, and Mrs. Ning took care of them. beat a few of his subordinates who waited for him, and he left a small servant and a rough mother-in-law, and the rest were left to a pair of children.

Although Mrs. Ning hates Yongliang very much, Brother Kang is the one she looks up to, and the eldest sister has no mother when she lands, which is really pitiful.

On Yongliang's side, there was another big-bellied outer room that didn't know when to enter the door, and Mrs. Ning didn't feel at ease to hand over the two children to Yongliang.

Yongliang's mother once went to the small courtyard to ask her son to go home, and asked him to marry his niece early.

As a result, Yongliang was only willing to admit that his cousin was an outer chamber and did not agree to marry him; Yongliang's mother was half angry, but she couldn't take Yongliang, so she directly hired a sedan chair to carry her big-bellied niece to the small courtyard.

This aunt and cousin were originally rich and noble, so they put down their bodies to seduce their cousin under the prodding of their aunt, but they didn't expect their cousin to be driven back to their own house, and they didn't even have an acre of land in their name, and even this shelter was rented.

She regretted it, but she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction and re-woo Yongliang.

While Yongliang hated himself, he also lost the mind of pity and cherished jade, and bluntly said that he would defend his wife for three years. My cousin here, if he is willing to stay, he can also provide a bowl of rice; If you don't want to stay, after giving birth to a child, you can have him marry.

When my aunt and cousin saw him so ruthless, they had to move out of Yongliang's mother again.

When my aunt and cousin were unwilling, they also had other thoughts, who didn't want to eat and drink spicy food. But even if my cousin is on an errand in the Ministry of Works, she has limited money and no permanent property, she is so young and a little beautiful, she really doesn't want to suffer.

Yongliang's mother didn't believe that Yongliang was poor, and only Yongliang's fingers leaked out over the years, which made them buy land and property, and call slaves and maids.

After all, he has been the head of the family for more than ten years, and if he wants to say that he has no private house, then who believes it?

Even if the money is really not much, only the clothes and accessories, antique calligraphy and paintings under Yongliang's name are also worth a lot.

So, Yongliang tragedy.

Her biological mother, who came confidently to stand up for her niece, wanted to share half of her son's net worth.

According to her, even if he doesn't want to see him, he won't keep his niece here to dislike him, but after all, he has his flesh and blood. Even if you give birth to a child, if you take another step, you will not be able to find a serious family if you are not innocent.

Whether it is concerned about the righteousness of husband and wife, or thinking about the love of flesh and blood, Yongliang should still prepare a dowry for his cousin...... I heard that it was very lively, and Yongliang was only willing to give a hundred taels of silver, which was far from what Yongliang's mother wanted.

Yongliang's mother was not angry, and almost went to the yamen to make trouble, but was finally stopped by Yongliang's father.

Yongliang's mother was unwilling, but Yongliang closed the door again, so she let out the word to clean up Yongliang with the crime of "disobedience and unfilial piety".

There were two clansmen, I don't know whether it was out of sympathy or out of jokes, to Yongliang to pass the word.

Yongliang didn't say anything, just took out two documents and showed them to the two of his fellow clansmen.

One is the deed that Yongliang's parents pressed their handprints when Yongliang passed over, which said that their four sons, the family was poor and difficult to support, and they were willing to pass the four sons to his house, and the father and son, mother and son were irrelevant. It is also indicated that Mrs. Ning paid a sum of support to the two of them, which is regarded as not allowing them to raise their sons for nothing. The last clause of the contract states that Yongliang and the couple have nothing to do with each other, and they do not care about life and death.

Seeing that the eyes of the two clansmen were stunned.

Where is this adoptive document, this is obviously a sub-sale document.

The other one is another household certificate provided by the Yamen of the Nine Gates.

Yongliang has another household under the name of Mrs. Ning's house, and he has become a member of the side branch.

The two looked at each other, not understanding why Mrs. Ning didn't take out the document when Yongliang's parents were entangled with Yongliang back then, and they didn't understand how Mrs. Ning, who hated Yongliang when she divided the production a year ago, promised Yongliang to attach herself to the branch to open an account.

However, what they understand is that no matter how much trouble Yongliang's biological mother makes, she can't suppress Yongliang...... Although Yongliang is not a big person, but because he is involved in Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's brothers, Cao Hao also makes people pay attention, and he knows what has happened to Yongliang in the past few months.

Now when Yongliang is mentioned, Cao Hao slowed down and said: "Farewell to his wife, his adoptive mother's righteousness, and his biological mother become enemies, you two brothers talk about it, why did Yongliang fall to this point?" ”

Zuo Zhu listened, looked at his younger brother, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he hesitated and said: "The fourth uncle is not evil, but the previous surname was too indecisive and ......a little unclear."

Cao Hao was noncommittal and looked at Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Cheng said with a sneer on his face: "What else can it be, it's just a 'greedy' word." Even if he misses the kindness of his biological father and mother, he is not an ignorant child, is he completely selfless, just because of filial piety, he tries his best to collect money to buy property for his biological father and mother? It's just because my brother and I have returned to the sect that he has always been hanging in his heart, so he wants to prepare for both. When you step on two boats, you can't step on both boats before you fall into the river...... If you want to say innocent, the fourth wife who gave her life in vain is innocent, and the childish girl who lost her mother is innocent......"

Zuo Zhu frowned when he heard this: "Second brother, the fourth uncle is an elder after all, and the current situation is difficult, why do you bother to say cool things......

Zuo Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that he has become a member of another family, and my brother treats him as a relative?" Since he wants to divide the household, it is not good to hang it in whose name, why should it be hung in my name? Brother, don't say it, he's just reluctant to ...... their old lady."

Zuozhu shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this...... It's just that...... It's just that he has come to this point, if the second brother has seven feelings, others will not say that he is scheming, but will only say that we are cold and snobbish......"

Seeing that his brother was blindly a good person, Zuo Cheng's heart was even more angry, and he said: "In order to make people praise, I have to go around recognizing relatives......

Zuo Zhu wanted to say more, so he heard Cao Hao say coldly: "You two brothers are good, how long have you been away from the mansion, and you have begun to learn to talk about the length of your words, when will you stage a full martial arts?" ”

He has too many things to worry about, because the twins have already started a family, he has less control, and he didn't expect the two brothers who have always been harmonious to quarrel with him.

Seeing that he was annoyed, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng both shut down.

Zuo Zhu blushed and said, "Father-in-law, is it a son?" The second brother was just worried about his son, afraid that his son would be soft-hearted and tender-faced, and would be fooled by the Zhang Jia clan, so he repeatedly reminded his son ......"

Zuo Cheng also said: "It's the son who shouldn't be, knowing that the eldest brother's surname is gentle and kind, and forcing him to make a face in front of people......"

At this time, the two brothers are brothers, and they will blame themselves for their mistakes, for fear that their father-in-law will blame each other.

Seeing this, Cao Hao breathed a sigh of relief, his face was dark, and he said to Zuo Zhu: "Since you know that your second brother is kind, why don't you listen to the advice?" ”

Zuo Zhu touched the back of his head, and said: "My father-in-law taught in my early years that even if you are an enemy of life and death, you can't tear your face without tearing it...... Although the people of the Zhangjia clan are not close to us, in the eyes of the world, they are blood relatives who are difficult to cut off...... But entertain a few elders, listen to a few chatters, say a few good words, have face, and don't suffer......"

Cao Hao listened to it and secretly praised it in his heart.

In the end, it is a child who is taught by himself, and he can't help but seem loyal and honest on the face, and he is unwilling to suffer in his bones.

He glanced at Zuo Cheng, who was stunned by Zuo Zhu's words, and then asked Zuo Zhu: "Since you have a plan in your heart, you can talk to your brother directly, why bother the two brothers have a dispute......

Zuo Zhu lowered his head and said, "Second brother has never liked these favors to send to ......."
