Chapter 1355: Housewarming (Part II)

Cao Hao led everyone to the gate.

I saw a red confetti on the ground, and a few palace guards picked bamboo poles, and they had to "crackle" firecrackers.

In the smoke, the figures of the sixteenth elder brother and Changsheng loomed. Behind them, two carriages were parked.

Although the firecrackers were firecracking, those horses were pack horses specially trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were still honestly parked there without any disturbance.

Seeing this, Cao Hao couldn't help laughing.

He didn't hide the housewarming from the sixteenth elder brother.

It's just the custom of the capital, and the banquet to congratulate the housewarming is mostly set up after the housewarming month, and the Cao Mansion is no exception.

Unexpectedly, the sixteenth elder brother came over today to join in the fun.

The sixteenth elder brother over there was talking to Changsheng about something, but Changsheng saw that someone came out here, and when he saw that the two brothers had arrived, he hurriedly informed the sixteenth elder brother.

The sixteenth elder brother came over with Changsheng.

Cao Hao also stepped forward and met the sixteenth elder brother. Cao Xiang followed behind his cousin and greeted the sixteenth elder brother.

The sixteenth elder brother waved his hand and called Cao Xiang to get up, and then said to Cao Hao: "I just finished my errand in the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office, and I have a free time, and I think of you moving today, so I will come over to take a look." It's okay on the side, but your movement is too small. This is either a clan relative, or a eunuch, how can you move quietly, you have to inform the neighbors......" Speaking of this, he pointed to the two carriages: "This is a firecracker made inside, you can listen to it......"

It's really the sound of firecrackers that is too loud.

made the sixteenth elder brother shout at the end of his voice.

After shouting, he couldn't help laughing, pulled his ears, and said, "This movement shocked my ears......

Cao Hao turned around, asked Cao Xiang to help him take care of the move, and led the sixteenth elder brother to the flower hall.

After a few walls, the sound of firecrackers is still very loud, but it is not as deafening as outside the gate.

Thinking of the two carts full of firecrackers, Cao Hao couldn't help but stroke his forehead: "Sixteenth master, isn't this too ostentatious?" ”

Cao Hao is quite satisfied with this boundary, just saying that it is close to the yamen, and he can sleep for half an hour more in the morning, but when he mentions "neighborhood", he can't help but have a headache.

This piece of Xidan archway is just the handover of the red flag and the blue flag, and there are many palaces distributed.

The front door of Caofu's new house is facing the corner door of the backyard of the Fourteenth Beizi Mansion; Across the street from the back garden of Cao's Mansion is Prince Jane's Mansion, and one street away from Prince Jane's Mansion is Prince Li's Mansion.

Two streets north of Prince Li's Mansion is Prince Zhuang's Mansion of the Sixteenth Elder Brother.

Less than two miles southwest of Caofu, it is the palace of Prince Ping.

In addition, there is also the palace of the county of Gezhi, which is not far from the southeast of the new house of Caofu.

How can the palace in this circle not give Cao Hao a headache.

Fortunately, he can count whether the "close neighbor" is a neighbor's house, but the Fourteen Beizi Mansion.

Fourteen Beizi Mansion, due to historical reasons, all the children will have to be people with their tails between them for decades, and they will not be domineering.

The sixteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows and said, "Swagger? Fu Ruo didn't look at what kind of realm this was? Humility is necessary, but humility is unacceptable, otherwise it will not be the way to get along in the future. Even if those masters in the house are good, it is difficult to keep slaves who don't know the height of their eyebrows. This is a house given by the emperor, and everyone must have a number in their hearts. ”

Cao Hao said with a smile: "I can't say what the sixteenth master said, otherwise I will be suspected of despising the clan." ”

The royal clan, no matter how infighting, is unanimous externally, and the honor is inviolable.

Cao Hao was originally given a house, and he was full of joy, after all, it meant that the emperor had justified the name of the Li family, and it was close to the government office.

Although in this world, he has become a high-ranking official and eunuch, but he still likes comfort in his bones, and naturally feels that his residence is closer to the government office.

But after understanding the specific people who live in this area, he has a lot of thoughts in his heart.

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao and said, "You don't want to be cheap and behave!" Before moving, send out the post of He Housewarming, is there no meaning to side? ”

Cao Hao laughed twice and said: "I just wanted to post earlier and look respectful, but I really didn't want to be around." ”

What is the intention, but I just want to borrow the tiger skins of the clan masters to allow myself to gain a foothold in this realm where the princes and Baylors gather.

Seeing that he was still stiff-mouthed, the sixteenth elder brother said: "You don't have to worry too much, even if there are more clan families here, there is nothing to worry about, there are fewer clan relatives in your family over the years?" The people who are talking about it are all relatives, but they are different from each other. You are in charge of a household, and you don't have a short family to socialize, and the relevant communication is brought forward by Da Gege. If there is really a thorn, there is still the emperor looking at it. ”

Cao Hao nodded, understanding the unfinished meaning of the sixteenth elder brother's words.

These clans, just stay away, don't worry about being bullied, and don't bother to socialize. Even if you really want to bully people, just hold the emperor's thighs.

Cao Hao's heart was much more steady, and the sixteenth elder brother took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said, "I heard Changsheng say that Mrs. Tai is not here, and the time is almost up...... Someone will come down from the palace in the next day, shouldn't you take Mrs. Tai over......?"

When Cao Hao heard this, his heart moved, and he leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "How many plaques?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother pointed at Cao Hao with a fan and said, "That's the imperial pen, how many more?" You're not greedy! ”

Cao Hao smiled and touched his chin, it wasn't that he was greedy, but this house was originally a princess's mansion, and it was the new house of the Cao family.

The big head reward Yongzheng has been given, how can he pull down this small head.

As for himself, of course, there is a little bit of greed.

After the Cao family's house was divided from Fengrun, there was never a fixed hall number.

The hall name on Fengrun's side uses the word "stability", which is called the Cao family of Andingtang to the outside world, and this "stability" is the birthplace of the ancestral prime minister Cao Bin.

At the beginning, Cao Yin hesitated for a long time about the matter of determining the hall number, and finally did not make up his mind.

The family name is either the place of residence, or the virtues of the ancestors, or the way of rejuvenating the family.

The Cao family settled in the capital, and they couldn't use "Beijing" as the hall name.

The virtues of the ancestors are not outstanding, and the greatest merit of the ancestors is to remove a saintly lady.

Giving the family a name, although the current role is not first, can wait for the children and grandchildren to enter the Shilin and intersect with the scholars, which is also an added façade.

Cao Yin didn't draw up his own hall name before he died, even if he also had the intention of waiting for the imperial treasure.

Before Cao Hao moved, he saw that most of the plaques in the new house here were empty, and when he thought of it, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

It's not that Longwangchuan is obtained, but because the emperor gave a plaque, which is not too unusual, especially since the minister's mansion is a royal gift.

Seeing that Cao Hao didn't ask, the sixteenth elder brother was a little nervous, and said, "Your wish has been fulfilled, so let's have fun......"

Cao Hao was very determined, and hurriedly called Zhang Yi over, and asked him to go back to the house to pick up the ancestors and grandsons of the Li family to come over ......* Two carts of firecrackers, which rang off for half an hour, and there were many more people visiting at the end of the street.

Even Prince Jane's Mansion to the north of Cao's house was also alarmed by the sound of firecrackers.

For the move of Caofu, among the people around them, the happiest are Prince Jane and his wife.

The baby daughter is not only married to Jingzhong, but also married under her nose, and it is not so difficult to meet in the future.

When Yarjana heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance, he asked the steward to inquire about it.

After knowing that it was the handwriting of the sixteenth elder brother, Yaerjianga couldn't sit still, and left the house in his regular clothes, but after half a cup of tea, he walked to the gate of Cao's mansion.

Outside the gate of Cao's mansion, red confetti was spread all over the ground, and the air was still filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

Although Yarjianga did not wear a yellow belt in a flash, his arrogance was unobstructed.

Seeing him approaching, he stood at the door loudly, letting people pass, and did not say his name. The little guy outside the door didn't dare to be contemptuous, and hurriedly turned around to inform Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's side, although he knew that the "guest" who came without telling was slanderous, he still walked quickly to the door and looked at it.

At this glance, he himself was also taken aback.

A prince of Heshuo, without a servant, stood outside the gate in his homely clothes.

Zhang Yi has been by Cao Hao's side for 20 years, and he knows the weight of Yaerjiang'a, and his temper is also like thunder.

He hurriedly turned around and asked Cao Xiang, who was still in the lion house, to come forward to entertain the guests, and he hurried to Cao Hao.

Yaerjiang Ake is not only the prince of the clan, but also the in-laws of Caofu, his cousin's in-laws, because Cao Xiang saw him, he was respectful and close, and directly invited him to the flower hall.

Although Yaerjianga has only seen Cao Xiang a few times, he knows the affairs of the Cao family and knows that their brothers in Dongfu lost their fathers when they were young, and they were all raised by Cao Hao's father and son, and the same brothers are similar.

Therefore, Yarjianga also felt pleasing to the eye when he looked at him, and his originally arrogant expression was much calmer.

The sixteenth elder brother who saw Cao Hao greet him was amazed in his heart.

Yaerjiang Ah Xian said to Cao Hao: "Lord Cao is overjoyed......"

In the eyes of the world, "housewarming" has the meaning of backgammon, unless the family is in the middle of the road, and the son is getting worse and worse, otherwise moving is a happy event.

Cao Hao hurriedly replied: "Tongxi, Tongxi, but the official has no form, and he spares the prince's purity......"

As soon as the sound of firecrackers fell, Yarjana arrived, needless to say, he must have heard the movement.

Yaerjianga waved his hand and said, "You don't need to apologize, you have always been steady, needless to say, the culprit who disturbed the purity of the master is the one beside you." ”

The sixteenth elder brother shook his fan and laughed: "It's just to see that Cao Haoniao is too lonely to move quietly, so come over and join in the fun; Lord Wang, you are a family member, not to mention the icing on the cake, you have to spoil the fun? ”

Yaerjianga snorted and turned to Cao Hao: "I heard that the housekeeper said that you have decided to move today, and I want to come over and have a look, but I am afraid that it will disturb your move...... I still know that there is an uninvited guest who has come to the door, and I have the cheekiness to come......"

The two princes are fighting, where is there a place for Cao Hao's statement, they can only say some clichés of "Peng Shen is shining", and invite Yaerjiang Ahua Hall to have tea.

Cao Xiang confessed his guilt and continued to stare in the front yard.

After only sitting for half a cup of tea, Yarjianga couldn't sit still, and opened his mouth to take a look at the house......
