Cao Hao's bitter words, I don't know how much Changsheng has heard.

However, he has a good attitude and looks honest and taught, which makes Cao Hao, the eldest brother, feel more fulfilled.

Cao Hao remembered Cao Song's appearance when he was a teenager, and among several cousins, Cao Song was the only one who grew up with him.

Cao Quan's surname is cowardly, attached to his brother, he only knows pleasure, where will he raise children.

Cao Song, the eldest son of Dongfu, if there was no Cao Hao's teaching, I don't know what would have become.

At that time, Cao Hao looked at the same age as Cao Song, but in fact, he taught him as a nephew in his heart, taught him by word and deed, and taught him how to behave little by little.

The same is true of immortality today.

However, compared with Cao Song's recklessness and youthfulness when he was a teenager, Changsheng has a lot more ideas.

Even after honestly listening to his brother's lesson, he did not hesitate and was confused, easily changed his decision, and still said that he planned to end up next year.

Seeing this, Cao Hao became more and more satisfied.

It's not just because Changsheng said to Tianyang that he must keep the word "faith", the most important thing is that Changsheng is self-aware and self-aware.

People are self-aware and self-aware, so that they will not be reckless, will not blindly follow, and will not easily put themselves in danger.

In this regard, Changsheng is much stronger than Cao Song back then, and he is faintly a bit like Cao Fu in his early years.

Cao Yin once said before his death that among the brothers in the second room, Cao Fu was the most aura. If you have a career, you will be the one who has gone the farthest among the brothers in the second room.

It's a pity that Cao Fu doesn't take power too seriously, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have left the Hanlin Academy in order to make room for Cao Xiang.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao carefully looked at Changsheng's eyes, and his eyes were solemn: "It's better to sit down and talk, even if you have planned to take the six-part pen post entrance exam like Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng and the two of them, do you have a plan for the longer term?" You can't always be in the pen and post style, what to do in the end, what position you want to be promoted, have you ever thought about it? ”

When Changsheng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After all, he was just a fourteen-year-old boy, and he had some sporadic thoughts in his heart, and where would he think about them.

He blushed slightly, and said a little crampedly: "I didn't think about those distances, I just thought that my parents were here and I didn't travel far, even if the pen post expired, most of them still had to stay in the sixth department as a petty official." I'm not like the second brother and Tianyou, the second brother needs to support the door of Dongfu, and Tianyou is the eldest son and grandson, and he has heavy responsibilities. I'm just thinking about having a serious errand and not dishonoring my mother and eldest brother. I can't let others say that this is a prodigal who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. In the flag school, those who carry cages and birds shout and drink, and their entourage is like a cloud, which seems to be decent, but who can afford to look down on them? ”

With such a real plan, Cao Hao couldn't believe it.

My pampered younger brother has grown up quietly unconsciously.

"Then have you ever thought that among the brothers, everyone else is a high-ranking official, and you are the only one who is not of high grade. In the future, you will also have to start a family and raise children. Now you care about the eyes of your classmates and friends, and there may not be no snobbery among relatives at that time. When the time comes, it's not just you, but have you thought about it? Cao Hao said.

Changsheng shook his head honestly and said, "Our Cao family is different from those Eight Banners surnames. Those Eight Banners surnames were all attached to the family when the country was founded, and there are more than ten generations of people who have passed down to the present, and there are five or six generations of less, and their descendants are flourishing. In such a family, there are only two or three out of ten talented people among the descendants, even if there are a few more high-ranking officials and eunuchs, there will be a reputation of 'Tong Banchao' and 'Shi Banchao', and always be careful whether they are feared by the emperor. Like our Cao family, who has no foundation, how many brothers can still live in the department? There are eldest brothers and second brothers who support the family portal in front, and there are fourth brothers who are not of high grade but have a good future, and naturally there are also fifth brothers who are attached to a few brothers like me. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was shocked inexplicably.

Where is this the words that a fourteen-year-old child can say, and where is this insight that a fourteen-year-old child can have?

But Cao Hao had to admit that Changsheng's words were correct.

In his early years, when Cao Fu was released to the local area, he said something similar.

Cao Hao also agrees with this view, he and Cao Song are in a high position, Cao Xiang is slowly rising, Cao Fu has no intention of career, so there is no need to think too much.

It's just that he didn't see Changsheng as their cousins in this wave, after all, where is the age difference between the brothers.

He regards immortality as a blessing from heaven and eternal life as a wave.

When the Cao Hao brothers grow old, Changsheng and Tianyou are in the prime of life and can support the family.

Changsheng was able to say this, not only a matter of knowledge, but also a disdain and indifference to the fame of his career.

This makes people wonder, he is a son and brother raised in a high-ranking family, if there is no one to guide him, how can he think so thoroughly.

Cao Hao was silent for a while, and said, "I heard that you have been going to the old study a lot recently, but you are watching "Bai Mao Tang Collection"? ”

Changsheng's eyes lit up and said, "Big brother has also read that set of books?" Huang Gong is talented, and his younger brother almost forgot to sleep and eat. ”

Cao Hao nodded, relieved in his heart, just find the source: "Huang Gong was a world-famous Confucian before his death, and he was full of talent, needless to say. It's just that do you know where the children and grandchildren of the Gu family are now? ”

Although he didn't come out, because his brother was a minister, for the other Jingtang, Changsheng could also count the surnames.

"There is no surname Gu in the ministry, but Huang Gong left his ancestral teachings, and only allowed his descendants to cultivate and read heirlooms, and they were not allowed to go out of office?" Changsheng said with a little curiosity.

"After the death of Huang Gong, the descendants are not good, the family is in the middle, the industry is scattered, the children and grandchildren are withered, and the heirs are almost extinct." Cao Hao said lightly.

Changsheng listened, frowned, and said, "It's because of the middle of the family road that these Gu family books arrived at our house?" ”

He was admiring Gu Jingxing, and after listening to his brother's words, he didn't think about anything else, but thought about his own collection of books.

Although Cao Yin died of illness, Changsheng was still young and did not remember it really, but he did not want to damage his father's image in his heart.

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "The collection of books was given by Huang Gong. When Huang Gong was alive, the family was exposed, and he was not worried about these books, so he gave them to his father before he died. ”

As for the famous Shilin's "Baimaotang Collection", it was compiled and printed by Cao Yin in his early years in Jiangnan.

Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "How could such a precious collection of books be given to my father for nothing...... But because of the first lady......"

Even if no one in the Cao family mentions the Gu family, and even many outsiders don't know that Cao Yin also had a wife and an original wife, but the Cao family tree remembers it clearly.

Just a few days ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Changsheng also offered incense in front of Mrs. Gu's spiritual seat, and he remembered it clearly.

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "It's not just this origin, but also because my father is the nephew of the Gu family, and my father's biological mother is the sister of Huangshi Gu." ”

Just like Cao Xiang's situation when he heard about this relationship in the Li family, Changsheng was also a little excited in his doubts.

He really didn't expect that he would have such a relationship with the most revered Confucian.

Regardless of Changsheng's ignorance, even Cao Hao had a lot of effort to know clearly.

Like Mrs. Gu, as Cao Yin's wife, even if she did not give birth to an heir, she still had to eat a share of the Cao family's incense.

Aunt Gu has no name, and she gave birth to a son who is recorded in the name of Sun Taijun, and she is not even qualified to go to the family tree, and the juniors of the Cao family don't know the reason.

The topic was bypassed the relationship between the Gu family and the Cao family, and it was swept away in a rather heavy atmosphere.

I heard that Gu Na, who was about to go to Beijing, was Gu Jingxing's great-grandson, and Changsheng had some expectations here.

The topic runs too far, and some things may be slowly comprehended by Changsheng.

Cao Hao stopped being verbose, waved his hand and sent Changsheng away...... The leisurely day passed quickly, and it seemed that the fifteenth day of the first month had passed in a blink of an eye.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, six departments were opened.

Cao Hao went to Yamen in a sedan chair, although he had recovered, but since he was known to be seriously ill, it was not good to appear in front of the world all of a sudden.

Pretending to be weak, maybe the errands in hand can be divided into a few things.

Cao Hao thought very beautifully, and he was already planning to divide the rights of a few tedious errands under his jurisdiction to a few waiters.

Among the six departments, there has always been no shortage of mixed pensioners.

In the past, he was trembling and did not dare to slack off, not because he didn't want to be lazy, but because the Cao family was not enough, he didn't want to fall into the tongue.

Now, with the help of this recuperation, maybe he can really relax.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the household yamen, Cao Hao was shocked.

This "surprise" may seem like a surprise to others, but for Cao Hao, who has decided to "retire" in the household department, it is thunder.

The originally calm expression also cracked, and he hesitated and asked, "Lord Wang, Lord Zhang, the lower officials...... Xiaguan ......"

He wanted to say that he was "only a shallow scholar and unbearable to take on a big responsibility", but then he thought that this kind of thing was definitely not something that the thirteenth elder brother could call the shots, nor would it be Zhang Tingyu.

Only the one in the palace...... After snorting twice, Cao Hao said respectfully: "The official has the order." ”

The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said, "Although Lord Zhang and I also take care of the household department, but I have other errands, and the focus of Lord Zhang's attention will also be shifted to the ministry of officials." On the side of the household, you will need to worry more in the future. ”

Looking at a small square box with red satin noodles in front of him, Cao Hao really didn't know what to say.

Previously, the thirteenth elder brother recommended him to go to the military department, just to avoid Zhang Tingyu's edge and become the head of the department.

I didn't expect the military department to go to it, and I still carried it with it in the household department, but the official seal was in hand. This means that he is the head of the household department, and he will be the last to decide the affairs of the household department in the future.

This is unintentionally inserting willows, but Cao Hao can't be happy.

What does the emperor think again?

If you were someone else, you would have been ecstatic to get this benefit for nothing.

Cao Hao couldn't be happy, this matter really went against his original intention.

Besides, even if Zhang Tingyu is not a palm scholar, he is still a master scholar.

tossing and turning, it is nothing more than handing over the trivial matters of the household that need Zhang Tingyu to be the master, to Cao Hao's side.

It seems to be much more decent, but in fact it is a loss......
