Listening to Lu Bohe's inquiry about the reason for retiring from his family, Li Xu thought for a while and replied: "A few years ago, my little nephew was sick, and the child was sick in front of the bed, and he became ill from hard work, and he also became ill. Later, I don't know how to spread the rumor to the other party's family, but when the child was not long in life, he made people quit this family business. Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Speaking of which, it was the little nephew who delayed him." ”

When Lu Bohe heard this, he looked at Li Ding's gaze with a bit of inquiry.

Li Xu said: "If the child is weak, the little nephew will not dare to send him to the palace on an errand." Now with the grace of the Lord of Long Live and working as an errand in the Qianqing Palace, it is really his blessing. ”

This sentence relieved Lu Bohe, and not everyone on the guard side could enter. Although Li Ding was in the shadow of his father and could be appointed as a guard, if his health was really unbearable, the Li family would not dare to send him to the palace as a guard. Otherwise, it would be a sin of great disrespect.

Fu Nai was beside him, but he was a little annoyed, and he couldn't help but snort coldly. I didn't feel anything at all, the Li family pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, and broke off the relationship with Dong E's family, which is understandable. Now when he heard the old story, he remembered that it was none other than his wife's niece and daughter. I'm afraid that when the Li family got married, they had to mention Fu Ding as well.

When Li Xu heard this, he realized that he had lost his words, and he couldn't help but regret it. He was afraid that Fu Nai would say something unpleasant, so he immediately got up and said to Lu Bohe with a smile: "It's not early today, the little nephew has to go to Xicheng Caofu for a while, and he won't bother anymore!" ”

Hearing the words "Chengxi Cao Mansion", Lu Bohe's face couldn't help but smile, and he became more and more sure about this family business. If it is really related to the Li family, there will be relatives of the Cao family in the future.

When Fu Nai heard the Cao family, his expression was a little stiff and he stopped talking.

Li Xu smiled and said goodbye to Lu Bohe, Balsay, and Fu Nai, except for Lu Bohe, Balsay and Fu Nai got up and sent the Li family father and son to the gate.

When Lu Bohe came out of the house, Li Xu, Li Ding, father and son walked side by side, Li Ding asked: "Father, it's getting dark, do we really go to Cao's house?" ”

Li Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, there are other things to do tomorrow morning, so it's better to go down and take a look now." Looking at Lu Bohe's meaning, he is also willing to marry our family. Strike while the iron is hot, please ask your aunt to look at each other, if the girl is good, settle down. ”

Li Ding was a little stunned, although the Fucha family is also a white flag surname, and there are many children who are officials, but the young lady he wants to marry has no father and no mother, although his grandfather is still alive, but how many years can he take care of it? I also remembered that Miss Dong E, who had been engaged in a family affair before, was also an orphan girl, did she have no father-in-law and was destined to not be able to borrow the power of her wife?

Li Xu saw his son's inadequacy, frowned and said: "If this family affair is successful, it is already extremely decent, although the Fucha family is now weak, but after all, it is a Manchurian surname with several generations of hairpins." Their relatives and friends are all over the Eight Banners, and if you have such a wife, you can also borrow strength in the capital in the future. The ladies with the surname Manchurian may not be as good as the character of the palace! ”

Li Ding was told by his father, and his face was sneering, but he did not respond.

As the night was getting darker, lanterns had been hung at the entrance of Cao's mansion. A small car stopped at the corner gate, and the shadows looked like several women.

Li Ding squinted, glanced at it, and turned around and called the chief to come forward and call the door.

I heard that it was the uncle and the young master who arrived, and the porter went out to lead the horses for them, and at the same time called the little maid to pass it in.

Cao Yin was talking to his son in the study in the front yard, and was quite surprised to hear the visit of the Li family's father and son. The father and son greeted them out, and Li Xu and Li Ding had already entered the courtyard.

Seeing Cao Yin, Li Xu smiled and said: "I came here for my brother without telling you, and I was an uninvited guest, don't blame Dongting." ”

Cao Yin said: "The eldest brother said that this is the way out, please sit in the hall, just got the Longjing before the rain, and I just happened to share it with the eldest brother." ”

Li Xu touched his beard and said, "That's it, Dashan, it seems that my brother is still here!" ”

Here, Li Ding and Cao Hao have already saluted the elders separately, and then the two salute each other.

When everyone came to the hall, in addition to the two main seats in front of the hall, there were also two rows of mahogany seats lined up with swallow wings.

Cao Yin asked Li Xu to sit on the east side, and he was accompanied by the prime minister, and asked Li Ding to sit too.

Li Ding couldn't sit opposite his father and Cao Yin, so he sat on the third chair on the west side. Cao Hao had no choice, so he sat down under Li Ding.

I remember a few days ago when I was drinking with Nalan Fusen and Li Ding, I heard them mention that they were on duty on the nineteenth, and now that the holy car is in the garden, why did Li Ding come back? Thinking of this, Cao Hao asked in a low voice, "Cousin is the head of the class?" ”

Li Ding nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, when I arrived in the morning, because my father was in Beijing, I didn't stay at the other end of the garden after I finished my errand." ”

After saying this, Cao Hao and Li Ding were both stunned. Cao Hao asked casually, and Li Ding replied crisply, as if the two relationships were so close. Actually, it's not like that at all.

Although Li Xu was greeting Cao Yin on the one hand, he also paid attention to his son's relationship with Cao Hao out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the two of them didn't look like a mustard, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Cao Hao thought of the Li family, and thought of Gao Taijun in the Li family. He is a son of man, so he can naturally think of his mother's filial piety to his grandmother. Moreover, in the eyes of the world, the Cao and Li families are in the same spirit. Thinking of this, his dissatisfaction with the Li family's father and son decreased a little.

Li Ding couldn't help but be alert, he only felt that this cousin was too sophisticated and too pretentious in front of his relatives. Even a few days ago, when he was in Shichahai's house, he was not necessarily so close.

Thinking of Shichahai, Li Ding thought of Yang Ruixue, and looked at Cao Hao's eyes with more complicated meanings. Cao Hao's filial piety period has not yet expired, and if he makes trouble about the rights and wrongs of the prostitute, his reputation will be over.

However, he turned to his father's admonition, and remembered the smile on his face when he heard "Cao Fu" in Lu Bohe, the Fucha family, and immediately extinguished his thoughts about teaching Cao Hao a lesson. Father is right, the Cao and Li families, together will benefit both sides, and divide will cause two harms. For the Cao family, they can only rely on and co-opt, and calculation and suppression are not beneficial.

Thinking through this, Li Ding's attitude was also a little closer, and said: "Cousin is free or go to the guards more, those colleagues who Brother Nalan has made friends with are very missive when they mention their cousin." Knowing that his cousin was promoted to Taifu Temple, they all shouted for his cousin to treat him. ”

Although these guards of the Qianqing Palace are all selected from the noble homes of the Three Banners, perhaps because of the martial arts, they are all much more refreshing, and there are few of those messy dumps. Speaking of which, Cao Hao has been on an errand for a few years, and he was the most comfortable and idle in the few months when he was still in the guard office.

Li Xu exchanged two words of greeting over there, and he had already gotten to the point: "Dongting, tonight for my brother, I also have something to ask for." As he spoke, he said in a few words that he wanted to marry his son and ask his sister Li to help him see each other.

Cao Yin said with a smile: "I only heard that the eldest brother has been busy with these recently, but I didn't expect to have eyebrows now." Which girl was lucky enough to be in the eyes of the eldest brother? ”

Li Xu said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is not an outsider, it is Fu Nai's cousin's niece, the granddaughter of Lu Bohe, the capital of Manchuria with the yellow flag, Fucha clan." ”

When he heard the name of "Fu Nai", Cao Yin smiled and said lightly: "Oh, it turned out to be his house!" ”

Seeing Cao Yin like this, Li Xu couldn't help but persuade: "After all these years, Dongting shouldn't worry about him!" When he heard that Fu Ruo was married, he also came over. Anyway, Chang Ling is always your nephew. Even if you don't look at Fu Nai's face, you have to look at your nephew's face! ”

Cao Yin didn't answer and said, "The Fucha family is also a big family, and she is also a good girl." ”

Because it was a private matter of the Cao family, Li Xu didn't say much, so he changed the topic.

Li Xu came to ask for Li Ding's lifelong event this time, so Cao Yin sent a small servant to the second gate to send a message and invite Li to come out to meet.

Li had just sent his mother-in-law to Chunwang's mansion to deliver something to Chu Yu, and was sitting on the side of the kang to coax Wu'er to talk. Seeing that the palace was busy, Chu Yu wanted to take care of Fujin, and had no time to take care of Wu'er and Tianyou, so Li asked ** to hug the two small ones and come back together.

After eating, Tianyou has already slept; Wu'er couldn't see Chu Yu, her little face was bitter, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing her like this now, she couldn't bear it, hugged her in her arms, and coaxed: "My son, your sister-in-law took care of her mother, and she will come back tomorrow." ”

Wu'er raised her little face, pressed her little face, and said in a milky voice: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, beating people, beating sister-in-law?" ”

Li remembered that when Miss Jin and Wugege fought in the afternoon, Wu'er was also there, and he thought he was scared. Wu'er saw that her sister-in-law stayed there and didn't go home, so she was worried that her sister-in-law would also be beaten.

Seeing her so well-behaved and caring, Li couldn't help but smile more on his face, touched Wu'er's head, and said, "Don't worry, Wu'er, no one dares to bully your sister-in-law!" ”

*Chunjun Palace, the main house of the inner courtyard.

The lamp was already in the room, and King Chun Fujin was lying on the kang, his teeth were closed, his face was sallow, and he was sweating from time to time on his forehead. Chu Yu sat on the edge of the kang, took a handkerchief in her hand, and gently wiped it for her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chu Yu turned around and saw that it was his father who came, so he hurriedly stood up.

The seventh elder brother glanced at his wife lying on the kang, lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Yu replied in a low voice: "I vomited again, vomited all the previous medicines, and tossed for a long time, only to close my eyes for a while." ”

The seventh elder brother nodded, wanting to speak, for fear of disturbing Fujin, so he turned around and walked to the outer hall. Chu Yu also followed.

Seeing that Chu Yu's face was dull, the seventh elder brother was a little distressed, and said, "You have also been busy for a while, go back to your house early to rest, don't be tired!" ”

"Daughter out of the way!" Chu Yu said: "If Ama is not here in this courtyard tonight, my daughter wants to stay by Fujin's side and wait. ”

The seventh elder brother nodded, he originally thought that he was going to rest in the side Fujin Barda clan's room, but when he thought that the eldest daughter was in the mansion, he asked people to carry the lamp and go to the side Fujin Nara clan's courtyard.

Just a few steps out of the main courtyard, the seventh elder brother saw Hongzhuo and Hongxin brothers come out of the five-grid courtyard.

Because he learned the rules of toasting at the Zongren Mansion, Hongzhuo and Hongxin returned to the house for two nights.

Seeing the seventh elder brother, Hongzhuo and Hongxin both stopped to say goodbye to their father. The seventh elder brother saw that his daughter's yard was still lit up, and asked, "You guys have gone to Wugege?" Who's over there? ”

Hongzhuo replied: "Fang Cai Eniang is on the same side of Fujin, and now they are all back, only the second sister said that she would stay here to take care of the fifth sister." ”

The seventh elder brother saw that his son was already high enough to catch up with him, and he already knew about the situation, so he thought about whether he should move him out of the inner house. Not only Hongzhuo, Hongxin is also twelve.

However, now that Fu Jin is sick, it is not the time to mention this, so the seventh elder brother waved his hand and told his sons to go down and go to the Nala's room by himself. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard of the Nara clan, he remembered that he had agreed with the Barda clan when he got up early, and he must have been waiting there. So, he sent the girl he followed to the courtyard to spread a message, only saying that he would not go tonight and would pass tomorrow night.

Nara sat on the edge of the kang, sulking with his fists clenched. Jin Qiaorong hit five squares and was angry with Chang Fujin, if she didn't gloat in her heart, it would be a lie. However, when she saw the young and charming Barda clan in the five-grid house, she realized that she was too soon happy.

No matter how Chang Fujin makes trouble, she has no son, and she is not favored by the prince, so she can't shake the status of the Nala clan at all. The real threat is the Barda clan, who is already a side Fujin and has also given birth to an elder brother.

Of the five Fujin in the inner house, the Nara clan is the oldest, already thirty-six, and the other Fujin are younger, also in their thirties, and only the Barda clan is young, only twenty years old this year.

Although the seventh elder brother does not attach importance to sexual affairs, but men mostly like the new and hate the old, and love the young, what is the way for the Nala clan?
