After Li Rongbao's death, Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother all went to Fucha's house to pay tribute.

After the sacrifice was completed, the two came out of Fucha's house together.

As early as after Concubine Zhuang, the sixteenth elder brother handed over more errands at hand and mourned at home.

Since Hongshi's brother Hong, Yongzheng ordered the sixteenth elder brother to enter the palace and use the affection.

The seventeenth elder brother, who was in charge of the affairs of the Zongren Mansion before, was somewhat angry, unloaded his errand, and "took illness" to recuperate.

Riding on the horse, the sixteenth elder brother sighed: "I thought I could rest for two years, but now I am not clean again." ”

Cao Hao said: "The bigger the official, the more leisurely." The Sixteenth Master Prime Minister Zongren Mansion is in charge of his own house, and he will explain the errands. ”

The sixteenth elder brother smiled bitterly and said softly: "Those who do things below have those from above; Being on top, but being responsible. The seventeenth brother has worked hard in the past few months and has done a lot of errands seriously, but this time the accident has wiped out all the credit in front of him. ”

Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "The emperor will eventually want to open it." The Seventeenth Master will not be silent for long, and he will come out. ”

The sixteenth elder brother nodded: "That's what I said, now the emperor is forced to endure the pain of losing his son, so he will be angry with the seventeenth brother who is acting in the Zongren Mansion and the twelfth brother who takes care of Hongshi." When his grief passes, he will only blame himself and will no longer be angry with others. ”

Because it was not the gossip of the Fucha clan that forced Hongshi to die, nor the negligence of the seventeenth elder brother, but the statement of Zi Yongzheng to the clan a few years ago, and the beating of the Zhenguo Mansion.

He gave the study of Jingyang Palace to Hongli, and beat the twelve elder brothers, the former showed his identity for Hongli, and the latter beat Honghui, which had nothing to do with Hongshi.

But in Hongshi's opinion, He Zeng was not beating him, not breaking his mind.

Speaking of these, the sixteenth elder brother's mood was a little low.

Seeing this, Cao Hao diverged and said: "Originally, I thought about the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I asked Yi Zhi to come, so I asked the Seventeenth Master to be a big matchmaker to propose marriage to King Jian's Mansion, and I caught up with this thing again." The seventeenth master 'recuperated', who can this big media turn to? ”

The Cao family wanted to marry Prince Jian's mansion, and the sixteenth elder brother already knew about it.

As early as after Tianyou entered the guard, Chu Yu entered the palace and mentioned this matter to the queen. Just because the clan is tied to marriage, it is not autonomous, and it needs to be ordered by the emperor or queen to be married.

The big media in Cao Hao's mouth is the person who hired the Cao family after the decree was made.

At first, the queen only said wait and see, and finally gave the letter before the wedding of Hongli. If Prince Jian and his wife nod, the Cao family could formally ask for a decree.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he hurriedly said: "This matter is not in a hurry, it will always be after 'seven or seven', and then Zhang Luo, the province has committed a taboo." ”

Cao Hao understood that the "seventy-seven" here certainly does not refer to Li Rongbao's "seventy-seven", but Hongshi's "seventy-seven".

Originally, the two families intended to get married, and it was not difficult to ask for a marriage, but because the queen has been "sick" for the past two years, it was only in May this year that she "got better" and appeared in front of people, so things were delayed.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao discovered that whether it was in the palace or outside the palace, there were really many people who were "sick" in the royal family and the clan.

When it comes to Tianyou's family affairs, it is rare to talk about the marriage period between Hengsheng and Da Gege.

If you change to someone else's family, I wish I could keep my daughter for two more years; But the sixteenth elder brother is eager to get married when he is a big Gege and a master.

Da Gege was adopted by the emperor as an adopted daughter, and it is not easy for the sixteenth elder brother, who is a pro-Amma, to meet him. Only when Da Gege gets married, it will be cheaper for father and daughter to see each other.

Looking at the still young face of the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao had a feeling that his generation was already old, and this opening and closing was all a matter of children's relatives.

Cao Hao thought of something and hesitated: "Did the emperor mention the construction of the princess's mansion?" ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, his face immediately darkened.

If the emperor really intends to keep Da Gege in Beijing, he will make people build a princess's mansion.

According to the rules, the harem concubines are out of line, or the emperor's adopted daughter is more than Princess Heshuo, but she is half a level higher than the eldest son of the county king. If the emperor really intends to stay in Beijing for a long time, he should also build the princess's mansion.

Now that it has not been repaired, it can be seen that Da Gege will eventually go to Khalkha with Hengsheng.

The sixteenth elder brother's heart was sour, and he was stunned for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Hao shook his head with a smile: "Is the sixteenth master thinking too much, although he hasn't repaired the princess's mansion, isn't there a county king's mansion?" Even if Hengsheng takes Da Gege back to Khalkha, he will come back often. ”

Because of the distance between Khalkha and the capital, the imperial court rarely intervenes in the internal affairs of Khalkha.

Now that there is Hengsheng, how can Yongzheng let go easily?

Even if the Khan's palace needs Hengsheng to return to Khalkha, he will have to wait until Hengsheng leaves his eldest son.

The sixteenth elder brother snorted coldly and said, "When your family Tianhui says others, you will know your lord's mood." ”

While speaking, when he arrived at the intersection, the sixteenth elder brother hesitated, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, let's disperse." ”

In the usual way, the two of them were outside, and the sixteenth elder brother had to pull Cao Hao to find a place to listen to the drama or eat wine, but now he is still in the filial piety period, and the two of them are dressed in plain clothes, and it is not appropriate to listen to music and feast.

Cao Hao arched his hand, said goodbye to the sixteenth elder brother, and returned home.

When I got to the gate, I saw Zhang Yi coming up, and said with a smile: "The master is coming back soon......" Speaking of this, he looked behind Cao Hao and said in surprise: "Didn't the master rush back because he got the letter?" ”

Cao Hao was puzzled: "What letter?" Got a guest at home? ”

"Auntie and grandmother have returned home!" Zhang Yi said with joy: "The little legal person went to Fucha's house to find the master, and it seems that he has separated from the master." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he immediately couldn't help it, he didn't care about asking questions, and sped up his pace towards the Lan Courtyard.

In the past two years, if he has any regrets, it is that Prince Ping and his wife have left Beijing.

In the thirty years since he came to the Qing Dynasty, Cao Jiashi is one of the people who loves him the most.

He discouraged his brother-in-law from following the fourteenth elder brother, but he could not change his fate of losing power.

Looking at Yongzheng's actions in the past two years, he also figured out a little, Yongzheng's move may not be really tired of Prince Ping and Prince Jian, or for the sake of social stability.

If these old princes were still in the dynasty, the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother would have to be behind, and the influence in the clan would not be as great as it is now.

While making way for the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother, Yongzheng also used the two princes to beat other clans.

Even the two iron-hat princes who were hereditary reckless said that they would do it, and the other clans Beile and Beizi had no room to speak in front of the emperor.

As soon as I entered the Orchid Courtyard, I heard bursts of laughter coming from the upper room.

Cao Hao's footsteps eased, his hanging heart suddenly settled, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"The master is back!" A maid under the corridor saw Cao Hao, and while picking up the curtain, she was courteous.

When Cao Hao entered the house, he saw Cao Jiashi sitting next to Li, holding Tianhui in his hand, and looking at him with a smile. Chu Yu sat on a chair, and a young man stood next to the chair at the bottom of the head.

Seeing this, Cao Hao hurriedly took two steps forward: "Eldest sister! ”

Cao Jiashi made a straight face: "Hmph, you still have my sister in your heart?" I treat Tianhui as a girl, but you don't appreciate it, and even her relatives have to go over me. ”

Although she raised her eyebrows, the love between her eyebrows and eyes was undiminished, and she was really fierce.

Cao Hao was ashamed.

In Tianhui's family affairs, he did forget Cao Jia's family.

In fact, Tianhui's time by Cao Jia's side was no shorter than that of Cao's mansion. Cao Jia's love for Tianhui is no less than that of Cao Hao and his wife.

Tianhui didn't want to listen anymore, so she called "father" in a low voice, and lowered her head to avoid it.

Without waiting for Cao Hao to say anything, Cao Jiashi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, now you are also going to be a father-in-law, and you are still pretending to be shy?" Speaking of this, he said to the young man: "Fujing, I haven't seen your uncle yet." ”

"Uncle, please." The boy made a thousand calls.

Cao Hao stepped forward to help him up, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two years, I've grown so tall, it seems that the water and soil in Shengjing are very supportive, do you often go hunting with your Amma?" ”

This young man is Cao Jia's third son, Fujing, who is the same age as Tianhui and is fourteen this year.

However, compared with the fourteen-year-old child in Jingli, Fujing can be said to be tall and strong, and his complexion is also a healthy wheat color.

"In addition to Amma, there is also a cousin......" Fujing replied with a smile.

"Cousin...... Alslene? Cao Hao asked.

Fujing nodded: "Uncle is exactly what he said, it is Cousin Arslene." ”

Cao Hao remembered that Cao Jia's spring family book mentioned that Bao Ya intended to go back to Shengjing to live, nodded, and ordered Fujing to sit down, before asking Cao Jiashi: "Bao Fujin is still in Shengjing?" ”

Cao Jiashi said with a smile: "I bought a house in the back street of our palace, and took my little brother to temporarily settle in Shengjing." Bao Ya chattered, and when Arslen attacked the title, she went back to the capital to go around. ”

Li and Chu Yu were listening, and they were all happy for Baoya.

Although Shengjing is not as prosperous as the capital, it is much better than Mongolia, and there are brothers and sisters-in-law to rely on, so it is said that the son is much more comfortable than Mongolia.

While speaking, Cao Jiashi saw that his son was tired, and said: "Since I have seen your uncle, you should go back to the palace first and tell your eldest brother that you don't need to send someone to pick me up in a hurry." After dinner, I went back by myself. ”

Fujing got up and responded, said goodbye to a few elders, and returned to the Pingwang Mansion first.

Without juniors by his side, Cao Jia's family no longer saved face for his younger brother, and exuded a pungent look: "No matter what you think, I don't agree to tell Tianhui to the Fucha family." In the early years, you promised to be good, even if you didn't tell Tianhui to Fuxiu, you wouldn't cross me when you said goodbye, but now you made such a move and hid it from me. In the end, I was really annoyed: "No matter how decent the Fucha family is, it will not be their turn to pick Tianhui." It's just that he relied on himself to produce two generations of princesses, so he became arrogant. ”

Seeing this, Cao Hao hurriedly brought tea and stepped forward: "The eldest sister will moisten her throat first, and listen to the younger brother to distinguish one or two." ”

Cao Jiashi took the tea bowl and glanced at Cao Hao: "You say, I'll listen." ”

Cao Hao proposed the marriage of Zhenguo Gong and his wife, and then rumors came out that Li Rongbao's visit was briefly stated. Having said this, he hasn't forgotten to express his position, and he is not optimistic about the Fucha family.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the big family is too tired, and he is reluctant to let his daughter suffer.

When Cao Jiashi heard this, he hated the Fucha clan who had made a lot of money out of it, and couldn't help but curse a few words in a low voice......
