When Cao Hao returned home, he was helped out of the carriage and carried into the courtyard.

Today, the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother both went to the fourth elder brother's mansion, and the fourteenth elder brother, who was in the limelight, also personally went over to pay homage to the fourth elder brother.

What embarrassed Cao Hao the most was that the tenth elder brother, who usually doesn't like to deal with people, personally toasted him with a glass of wine today, which meant "thanks". It seems that Fang Chonggong's acupuncture therapy these days has begun to bear fruit.

If you want to say that this tenth elder brother is a man with a heart, outsiders only say that he is reckless, but he actually understands it in his heart.

He also knew that Cao Yi had no grudges against him, and the reason why he sealed his palace was also to curb the spread of fatigue. Although it has damaged his face, after all these years, it is not interesting to talk about it again.

Now, after the emperor's father's "posthumous sealing", he knows that Cao Yi is not only his niece and son-in-law, but also his own nephew, but he is really a little close.

Even the idea of "sealing" Fang Chonggong earlier faded.

The tenth elder brother showed goodwill, but the ninth elder brother was disgusted.

Cao Yi's kid is not simple, people are quite scrupulous, but now he has become a relative, if he wants to clean up Cao Yi in the future, it will be "bullying the small with the big"

For the sake of Li's life experience, he personally asked his biological mother Yifei, and the answer he got was yes.

Seeing that the ten elder brothers who didn't want to see Cao Yi all eased their colors to Cao Yi, the ninth elder brother snorted a few times and also had fun.

Whoever let Cao Mei drink will be on his face, with a "drunk" look, which makes Brother Jiu have a bad heart and want to get him drunk. Make him a big ugly.

The princes of the clan who came to eat and drink, seeing that these two were "loving" to Cao Yi, some people joined in the fun.

These people, in terms of identity, are more noble than Cao; In terms of seniority, they are all higher than Cao Yi, and there is no room for Cao Po to refuse.

So, drinking back and forth, Cao Yi was "drunk"

It was the sixteenth elder brother who came forward. I said to the fourth elder brother and asked someone to send him back.

Seeing Cao Yi like this, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers hurriedly stepped forward and called: "Father-in-law!" ”

Where is Cao Yi really drunk, but he saw that Brother Jiu couldn't be crooked, so he "drunk" and got out.

Now that he had entered his own courtyard, he pushed away the man who was helping him, and stood well on his own.

"How did you two get here? Did you have dinner? Cao Yi touched the heads of the little brothers and said.

The father-in-law and the son "Zuo Cheng raised a small head and supported me.

Although Cao Po was not drunk, he drank a few more cups and felt a little thirsty. Seeing that the two righteous sons had something to say, he took the two to the front hall to talk.

Hearing that he wanted to follow Zheng Sue out of Beijing, Cao Yi frowned a little and said, "Is this your idea, or did the master say it to you?" ”

At this moment, he was a little annoyed in his heart.

It was because Zheng Suo's character was flawed that it would affect the reputation of the child's dream, so he thought of sending him away in the name of donating officials, how could he let Zuo Cheng follow?

It's just that Zuo Cheng is ten years old, can he have such an idea?

"It's the son who wants to learn to paint with the master." Zuo Cheng's answer was without hesitation.

"Oh? What did the Master say? Cao picked up the teacup, took two sips, and asked.

Zuo Cheng blushed and whispered: "I haven't told my master yet, but I told my mother yesterday." The mother said that she should listen to her father-in-law. ”

Cao Yi glanced at him, but he was quite pleased, but fortunately, the kid didn't run to Zheng Shou to study in a daze.

He put down the teacup and said, "If you want to learn to paint, your father-in-law won't stop you; But it is not appropriate to go out of Beijing with the master. The master is a county magistrate, a parent in a place, busy with business, where can he have the kung fu to teach? Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Now there are several worshippers in the inner court, all of whom are masters of the painting world. If you really want to study, your father-in-law will help you. ”

Zuo Cheng listened, but he was not happy, and said cautiously: "Father-in-law, just tell the master that it's not okay?" The son will not cause trouble for the master, he can serve the master's pen and ink, and be a scholar. ”

Cao Yi listened patiently in front, and when he heard the word "scholar", Cao Yi's face darkened, staring at Zuo Cheng.

If you really let Zuo Cheng be Zheng Bian's "scholar", then it will be worth it. Zheng Fan likes men or women, this is a private virtue, Cao's heart doesn't care, but if he dares to involve his own children, he doesn't care whether he is a historical celebrity or not.

The atmosphere froze all of a sudden, and after a while, Cao Yi spoke: "Parents are here, not far away." Adults, even so. And what about children? You are so big, although you are not afraid of long-distance hardship, you must also be sympathetic to your relatives. Besides, there will be a children's exam next year, and learning cannot be delayed. ”

These days, he also thought about it, let Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers participate in the children's exam, so that they could enter the official school of Shuntianfu. Speaking of which, it is more justifiable than the official school of the Eight Banners, even if you don't take the imperial examination in the future, you will be fame, no matter whether you choose to be an official or choose to be a citizen in the future, it will be cheaper.

Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng heard this for the first time, and looked at Cao Yi and were speechless.

Speaking of which, the children of the Cao family, there is really no one in Cao Po's generation who participated in the children's examination, and they all became prisoners. is Cao Xiang, the Tanhualang of Dongfu, and he has not passed the boy test.

"Work hard, get famous, and earn a fortune for your mother." Cao Cheek said to Zuo Cheng: "As it grows bigger, we must distinguish priorities." Lesson block bamboo chong, painting for the future you have to be filial to your mother. Mai wants to marry and have children. Yan paints for a living. ”

It's not that Cao Mei is old-fashioned, but that the status of a professional painter at this time is low, and his paintings are not valuable. Only those famous scholars, ministers and eunuchs will occasionally be elegant, wave once, and earn a lot of pen fees

Zuo Cheng listened, his eyes were a little dim, and he nodded.

Zuo Zhu paid attention to the boy's test, and said, "Father-in-law, will the eldest brother and the younger brother of Hengsheng also participate?"

Cao Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Naturally participate, but I heard that this boy's test is not easy to test, and now there are ten months until next autumn, you have to work hard!" ”

The heirloom of the imperial examination is the foundation of the undefeated family in this society. With the grace of the emperor and the relationship between the in-laws, but a generation is rich.

Zuozhu listened, and his eyes lit up.

The two uncles of Dongfu both entered the taxi, and his future father-in-law also entered the taxi, so that the little guy has also been strong in the past two years, and he is determined to be admitted to the jinshi.

I thought that I would have to wait until after fifteen or six years before I could take the township exam like my uncles, but I didn't expect that the exam would be taken next year.

Zuo Cheng drooped his head, knowing that his father-in-law was serious.

Cao Mei is hesitating to invite someone to his home to do a museum these days, and if he shows his talents, he is afraid that he will not have enough knowledge; If you raise people, this will be delayed for a year every time you try, and it won't last long.

is too young, afraid of restlessness, and there will be accidents in the future, which will affect the reputation of Cao's mansion; Too old, inflexible, won't take children.

Although it is homeschooling, it is very important for children. In "Dream of Red Mansions", Mr. Daiyu is Jia Yucun, who lost his official position, and he is not the same as Luo Dixiucai.

After talking to the two righteous sons, he had an idea.

If you want to invite, please invite the best, and Ming'er will ask people to inquire about officials who have spare endowments. Serious children's test, township test, and jinshi department, layer by layer of exams, and experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, when the time comes, the children will be eight shares of the test, and they can also talk about some officialdom and experience, which is very good.

He is determined, but Zuo Cheng is heavy in his heart, and he is uncomfortable.

Back in the Mei Courtyard, Zuo Zhu pulled him directly to his small study and said, "Why don't you still understand, didn't Fang Cai's father-in-law make it clear?" is the father-in-law, and he left his parents at fifteen or six

"However, I want to learn painting from my master, but I am reluctant to use inkstone. After school, the master taught us both how to paint, and now he has designated to follow the master. Zuo Cheng muttered.

Hearing "Yanxiang", he frowned and said, "What is there to be reluctant to?" Look at his yin and yang weirdness, don't play with him! ”

Zuo Cheng sighed, but he didn't fight with his brother,

East House, South Cross Courtyard.

Zhao Jiashi stood in front of the door of the west chamber, pushed open the door and looked inside, and saw that he was able to settle people at any time, so he smiled and walked in.

The small two rooms are divided into two rooms.

She looked at it carefully and felt quite satisfied. After all, the house was empty and uninhabited, so she took one look and came out.

Su Xin followed behind her mother-in-law, knowing that she was going to repeat the old story again.

I'm afraid I went to Xifu to eat and drink, and I saw Chu Yu and Cao Yi's stomachs stimulated.

Su Xin's heart was sour, and he was a little sad. Day after day, like a dry well. She really hopes to have a child, regardless of gender, and there is hope for the future.

Back in the upper room, Zhao Jiashi said unexpectedly: "Since the first half of the year, your lord has said that he wants to add people, and this half year has passed, why hasn't there been any movement?" Daughter-in-law, this little heir is a big deal, it's not good to delay. You can also relax, in this, at home, as long as I still have a breath, I will not let my sons make any trouble with "spoiling concubines and killing wives" A wife is a wife, what is a concubine? That gentleman's thing, the mare who gave birth, don't have to take it to heart

"Daughter-in-law knows 0" Su Xin lowered her eyelids and replied lightly.

Zhao Jia's mind was full of Jiang Ci's small appearance, and he pulled Su Xin to sit down, which added a bit of enthusiasm.

"Isn't your lord bent on taking a concubine from a good family? But there is a candidate? A girl from a serious family, who would come to the door to be a concubine? It can't be that there is a fox outside, hooking up with Xiao Wu, right? Zhao Jia asked.

Su Xin was speechless, in the past half a year, she watched coldly, but her husband had no intention of taking a concubine, and the husband and wife were busy with "the great cause of children and grandchildren." "It's just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Last month, her menstrual period was delayed for three days, and Cao was so excited that she didn't sleep well for several nights, and she couldn't wait to ask the doctor to come over for treatment immediately. As soon as it was time to eat, he stared at her and asked her if she was disgusting and wanted to eat sour.

As a result, the doctor didn't invite her, and she began to menstruate. Although Cao Fu didn't say anything, the disappointment can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Su Xin sighed faintly.

Because her husband is more handsome and graceful than her, she refuses to throw away her sincerity, that is, she doesn't want to be a resentful wife.

It's been five years, and her husband has impressed her.

is the two dowry girls prepared by her mother's family, and he didn't use any of them.

She didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky, she didn't have sincerity in her early years, and when she wanted to take a concubine for him, he didn't accept it; Now, the relationship between the husband and wife is deepening, but they are troubled by childlessness, how can this knot be solved?
