Cao Mansion, front yard, side yard.

Wei Hei sat cross-legged on the kang, stretched out his chopsticks, put a chicken leg in the herb bowl, and said, "Look at the fact that you have eaten less in the past two days, and your chin has lost weight, is it because of the change of seasons?" ”

Vanilla looked at the chicken leg in the bowl and wanted to clip it back to Wei Hei, but was stopped by Wei Hei. Wei Hei took out the head of the chicken from the sea bowl, took a bite of the cockscomb, and said, "Master is good for this!" ”

Vanilla smiled, but she looked a little unwilling.

Wei Hei saw her picking up rice in her mouth one by one, as if she were counting rice, and asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" Miss your mother? ”

Vanilla's mother was originally the nanny and grandmother next to Cao Yi, and she did not follow the marriage, but now she follows her son and daughter-in-law and works as an errand in the Jiangning Mansion.

Vanilla listened to Wei Hei's words, shook her head, put down her chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and still opened her mouth and said, "Master, Chun'er is fifteen!" ”

Wei Hei sent a toon egg to his mouth and responded, "Is it fifteen?" I didn't see it, it's still like I came to our house two years ago, like a hairy egg! ”

Vanilla lowered her head and whispered a word.

Wei Hei didn't listen to the truth, and asked, "What, for whom?" ”

Vanilla didn't respond immediately, and only said after a while: "Give Chun'er to the master to be small!" ”

Chun'er is the girl next to Vanilla, and after Wei Hei married Vanilla the year before last, she was afraid that she would be tired of doing housework, so she deliberately asked someone to find someone to buy it honestly.

Wei Hei listened, but frowned, slapped his chopsticks on the table, and asked with a little anger, "What is this called?" Could it be that the master stole the girl in the family, so that you can see it, Baba to be this virtuous? ”

Vanilla's eye circles were already red, and tears fell on the edge of the kang one by one, forming small water stains.

Wei Hei was afraid that she would cry, so he immediately found a handkerchief on the kang, threw it over, and brought: "Explain it to the master first, cry!" Cry! Cry! What do you cry about? ”

Vanilla sobbed, bowed her head and said, "The concubine has been married to her grandfather for three years, and her stomach has not moved...... The master is also a man of forty, and the child ......"

Although there were not many words, Wei Hei understood the reason, and his heart was very tight, and he said with a little anger: "What three years, we became a relative in May of the year before last, and this is less than two years." You're young, what's the point of doing all this useless? ”

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. The concubine can't become an unfilial person because of herself...... "Vanilla said in a choked voice.

Wei Hei got off the kang and wanted to step forward to help her wipe her tears, but the husband and wife were not used to being so close, so they moved half a step forward and stopped, saying: "It's all nonsense, this is all idle panic all day, and it's useless to think about these things." What kind of person is the person on the tablet, the ancestors are virtuous, so that the master does not need to be a single, and he can marry a good daughter-in-law in his thirties. What is the child anxious about? If the lord is blessed, it is not bad for this year or two, if the lord has no children in his life, even if the house receives three or four, he will not be able to grow food. You don't have to make people laugh at this thought! ”

Vanilla has to say more, Wei Hei is already frowning, and said: "Don't make trouble with these useless, you still want to be tired to death, it's not easy to feed a wife, and you still want to be a cow and a horse, isn't it?" ”

Vanilla had to persuade again, and heard a girl at the door say, "Grandma, grandma, grandma is here!" ”

Vanilla hurriedly wiped away her tears, Wei Hei picked up the curtain and went out, but it was Cao Hao who was standing with a smile and a moaning outside. He hurriedly let Cao Hao into the house, and Cao Hao saw that he was still setting up dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I haven't eaten it, then you eat first, and then talk after eating!" ”

Wei Hei patted his belly and said, "Lao Hei is already full!" ”

After a while, Vanilla took Chun'er out of the table, brought tea to the two of them, and then avoided the house.

Cao Hao looked at Wei Hei's slightly bulging belly, and said with a smile: "It's still a vanilla sister-in-law who can regulate people, Brother Wei has been blessed in the past two years!" ”

Wei Hei laughed twice and said, "Yes, Lao Hei is also pondering, can't it go on like this, isn't this a waste?" Fortunately, the tiger came, and the old black boxing also has a companion in the future! ”

Wei Hei was on an errand with Cao Hao, and the two of them were in the same place. Seeing that he came over on purpose today, Wei Hei knew that he had something to say, and asked, "Gongzi specially came to look for Lao Hei, but he has something to order?" ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "These second wives are looking for someone to buy Zhuangzi, and I am also thinking about buying some more properties, but I think of a matter on my mind!" ”

"Oh? What difficulties does Childe have to deal with? Seeing him like this, Wei Hei asked.

Cao Hao shook his head and replied, "It's not a difficulty, it's that I think of Brother Wei and Mr. Wei." The gentleman is already old, and Niu Niu is small; Brother Wei's side will also add Ding in the future. It's okay if it's like this, we don't have to separate, if something happens in the future, Mr. and Brother Wei have no permanent property, how can I rest assured? ”

Wei Hei heard Cao Hao's words unlucky, and hurriedly waved his hand, "What did the son say about this?" Mr. Zhuang doesn't need to say it, even Lao Hei is half a year older than his son. There is no child...... The reason for Childe to walk in front ......" Speaking of this, he clenched his fist and asked: "But what kind of rumor has Childe gotten, and he still has the idea of beating Childe without opening his eyes, hum, with my old black here, I will never let Childe have a mistake!" ”

Wei Hei came to Cao Hao's side for forty years from Kangxi, and now it has been thirteen or four years, and he grew up watching Cao Hao. Although the two are called master and servant, Wei Hei treats Cao Hao as a nephew. Cao Hao is also very grateful to Wei Hei for his protection over the years and treats him as a brother.

Wei Hei said this sincerely, and Cao Hao was very moved when he heard it. However, he still has a fear of the fate of this life in his heart.

Although Cao Yin did not die early, he lost Cao Quan. Historical nuances have changed, but the general direction has not changed.

Cao Hao thought of the matter of buying fields, and was afraid that he would have a fateful hurdle like Cao Yin.

The world is impermanent, in case there is a day, the parents have the eldest grandson to care about, and Chu Yu has a child to rely on. Mr. Zhuang is close to the sixtieth birthday, and Wei Hei is also middle-aged, and he also treats these two people as a family member.

Therefore, he thought about whether he should help Wei Hei and Mr. Zhuang buy some properties, so that the two of them can have no worries about food and clothing even if they don't rely on the Cao family.

Wei Hei heard the meaning of Cao Hao's words, stood up, looked at Cao Hao carefully for a long time, and said worriedly: "The son is young, why do you keep thinking about it?" But what's wrong with your body, or is it that bullshit is too much for the doctor to talk nonsense? ”

Cao Hao smiled: "I'm strong, just in case." ”

Wei Hei was a little relieved, sat down and said, "Childe's kindness, Lao Hei has taken it." It's just to tell the truth, if there is no son in this capital, what will Lao Hei still do? In the past few years, the silver given by the son, Lao Hei has also put away a lot of vanilla. In case of...... In case God doesn't open his eyes and let Lao Hei walk behind his son, then the two of us will go back to the countryside in Henan. Be a companion with the second child and be a rich man in the countryside. The industry here in the capital, forget it. Lao Hei is a careless person, he can't count those, every time he sees the steward come to the house to tell what tenants, spring ploughing or something, he is tired to listen to it. ”

Cao Hao listened to it, and knew it in his heart, so he changed the topic and talked about some side words.

The reply from the Li family's Suzhou side has not yet arrived, and Li Ding's body has not yet been disposed of. But Cao Hao doesn't have to worry, the matter is handled cleanly.

Before coming to Wei Hei, Cao Hao had already asked Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Zhuang was also not interested in farming. He is also like Wei Hei, if Cao Hao is gone, then go back to his hometown to retire.

Cao Hao is also planning for the worst, no one is looking forward to his early death. In his heart, he wished he was seventy or eighty years old.

* Some people wish they were clean when they died immediately.

At this time, the eighth elder brother is like this. He fell ill, fearful of the wind, and coughed badly, but he refused to take medicine.

Although the weather has warmed up in March, and people have changed their jackets, the eighth elder brother is afraid of light and cold.

Seeing that Eighth Elder Brother was so depressed, the Ninth Elder Brother straightened his feet and shouted, "What is Starling doing?" Do you also want to learn from Concubine Liangniang? ”

When he said that, he already regretted it, and knew that he shouldn't have put a knife in the eighth brother's heart, so he sighed and stopped talking.

Concubine Liang is the biological mother of the eighth elder brother, who was born in the "Xinzhiku cheap", and died of illness in the winter of 51 years of Kangxi.

According to the news that Concubine Yi sent people to investigate, after Concubine Liang fell ill, she poured all the medicines from the hospital and begged for death. is afraid that her humble status will affect her son, so she is so decisive.

The eighth elder brother listened to the words of the ninth elder brother, his eyes were straight, and he muttered: "E-niang......"

The ninth elder brother pulled a chair, sat down in front of the eighth elder brother's bed, and said bitterly: "Where is this, is it worth being so disheartened by the eighth elder brother?" To put it mildly, the starling is Chinese New Year's Eve three today, and Huang Ama is sixty-one this year, even if he stays up for another ten years, the starling is in his prime, what about Huang Ama...... What is the loss of a few doormen? Those things that tend to be inflammatory, it's long before it's clean. Starlings are loyal to them, but they are just grass on the wall, and in private, the third brother is not less running in the house! ”

Speaking of this, he looked depressed and said: "What is this called, the old ten is sick, the starling is not happy, and the old fourteen is ......" Speaking of this, he pondered for a while, his expression was a little complicated: "The old fourteen is also old now, I don't know what I have in mind?" ”

The eighth elder brother raised his head, sighed, and said: "Our Qing Dynasty pays attention to 'the son is more precious than the mother', 'the mother is more expensive than the son', if it weren't for me, if I changed the tenth brother, even if I changed the ninth brother or the fourteenth brother, it would never cause Huang Ama to be so disgusted!" ”

Brother Jiu didn't like to listen to him, and frowned: "What are you talking about?" If you want to be more serious, when it comes to dignity, who can still honor the second elder brother, and I haven't seen that Huang Ama likes it a little! Starling, don't think about those useless things, hurry up and get rid of your illness, cheer up, and save those villains from taking advantage of the loopholes! ”

The eighth elder brother lowered his head and said nothing.

Brother Nine was a little annoyed, stood up, and said, "Brother Starling, who is this looking like this?" Or do you expect Huang Ama to remember that Starling is his son? What have we been busy with all these years? How much effort has it taken to make it possible for Huang Ama to go to a few of our doors, and we ourselves will collapse with it? There are many minions to go, to go to the old, naturally there are new ones, as long as we are powerful, people are still hard to find? Could it be that the starling was willing to give the chair to the third and fourth children? ”

*Changchun Garden, Hundred Beasts Garden.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother are still investigating the case of the disappearance of the mink, and now they have come over again. Although this piece tastes bad, those little beasts are cute to look at.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother became childlike, called the little eunuch on duty here, asked for a few pieces of meat, and fed the mink to play.

The little brothers were talking about which mink had a good coat color and which sable had a thief's eyes, when they saw Zhao Feng, the attendant next to the sixteenth elder brother, running over out of breath.

When the sixteenth elder brother saw it, he frowned and said, "Is this a fire burning your butt?" It's so unruly! ”

Zhao Fengman's head was sweaty, and he didn't care about wiping it, so he first called the seventeenth elder brother a thousand, and then quickly said to the sixteenth elder brother: "Master...... Master...... The master of Fujin gave birth to ......"

"Ahh The sixteenth elder brother was surprised and asked, "What's the matter, isn't there still more than half a month?" After speaking, he was not at ease, and asked again: "What about the person who came to report?" What happened to Fujin? ”

Although when Guo Luoluo first married into the palace, the sixteenth elder brother had some misunderstandings about her, but after getting along for a long time, he also knew that she was not a scheming person. The husband and wife, although they are not as affectionate as the seventeenth elder brother and the seventeenth Fujin, can be regarded as respectful to each other.

"Master, it was Qin San who came to report it, and I don't know the details, but I just know that Fu Jin gave birth to a little Gege, and the mother and daughter are safe."

The sixteenth elder brother put his mind at ease and nodded: "It's good that the mother and daughter are safe, it's good that the mother and daughter are safe, these slaves don't have to come to report early!" ”

The seventeenth elder brother was listening, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the sixteenth brother, now the sixteenth brother is a child and daughter!" ”

Although Seventeen Fujin said that he had a body a few days ago, he didn't sit on the fetus. The sixteenth elder brother was afraid that he would be sad, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Seventeenth brother, don't worry, when the younger brother and sister are well-healed, it will only be a few months of hard work......"
