Cao Mansion, Banyan Courtyard.

Sister Liqiu brought tea and led Chu Yu to the East House. Because in a few more days, it is the wedding of the two Cao Song brothers, and they also prepared a congratulatory gift early, and they invited Chu Yu to go over and take a look, help consider one or two, and save not being decent enough to take a shot.

The left and right are just for Mr. Zhuang to talk to Cao Haoteng.

Recently, with the "Killing Eagle Incident" of the eighth elder brother, there have been many personnel changes in the imperial court.

On Wenchen's side, Chang Tai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Labor, was the left attendant, the governor of Guangdong, Manpi, was the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, Fu Erhuna, a cabinet scholar, was promoted to the right attendant of the household department, and the cabinet bachelor Za Kedan was a cabinet bachelor and a waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

On the military attaché's side, the Yellow Banner Manchurian Deputy Governor Bai Yinbu was the Banner Mongolian Commander; The commander of the Red Banner Protector Army, Teng E, is the Mongolian capital with a blue flag; The Red Flag Mongolian Deputy Capital Sect Nayin Tu is the commander of the Red Banner Protector Army. Adjust the red flag Mongolian capital Hu Shiba to the blue flag Manchurian capital.

The deputy capital of Mongolia under the Blue Banner is Bosona Mulasi, who is the deputy capital of the right guard and the left wing; Wenpu, the deputy capital of Mongolia under the Zhengbai Banner, is the deputy capital of Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner; Su He, the deputy capital of the Han Army of the Zhengbai Banner, is the deputy capital of Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner.

Wen Chen said that there was no obvious sign of the "Eight Masters Party"; On the military attaché's side, the metropolitan and deputy commanders of the blue flag and the red flag have been replaced.

Among the princes, there are eight elder brothers, nine elder brothers and thirteen elder brothers; Those who belong to the positive red flag have ten elder brothers, fifteen elder brothers and seventeen elder brothers.

The thirteenth elder brother has been silent for many years, and the fifteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother have not yet been separated, but they are listed in the Eight Banners.

What Kangxi wants to guard against is naturally the eighth elder brother.

It seems that the "Tuoheqi Drinking Case" in the past has made Kangxi a snake shadow, and he has become suspicious of his sons to this point.

Regardless of whether those commanders and deputy commanders are wronged or not, who gave the eighth elder brother the nickname of "Virtuous King", since he has always been a good person, Kangxi is not at ease to put the safety of Gyeonggi in the hands of this man.

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but smack his tongue, shook his head and said: "Eighth Elder Brother has been prominent for a while, even if Wan Sui Ye has been suppressing it in the past few years, his power among the courtiers has only increased, not decreased. Who would have thought that it would be defeated by two birds. Long live the lord of the pole for more than 50 years, the cadres are arbitrary, during which there may be people who have power, which one will end well? Even if he is a biological prince, he is also a subordinate. Heaven is unique, there are some authorities, long live the Lord will not be offended. ”

"The fourteenth elder brother is about to make a fortune, he has always treated me a little badly, and now I can only avoid him." Cao Hao sighed and said.

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment and said: "To say that before the 'One Abolition Prince', the fourteenth elder brother was still a little elder brother, and now it is also about to be established, and in the past few years, he has been praised by the Lord of Long Live several times." After the eighth elder brother retired, he replaced him, but it is reasonable. It's just that...... It's just that if he really has this mind, he can still lie dormant for many years, and it is really calculating. Long live the lord who ascended to the throne of God at a young age, and grew up in all kinds of calculations when he was a child. If the fourteenth elder brother doesn't have this heart at all, it's fine, otherwise, I'm afraid it will backfire and he won't be able to ask for it. ”

It's good to ask for it but not get it, otherwise look at his appearance of a small belly and chicken intestines, can there still be Cao Hao's good son?

Thinking of this, Cao Hao smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's all my fault, which caused Mr. to talk about these boring things." I'm really here to give my husband money. As he spoke, he took out a few silver tickets from his purse and gave them to them.

"Profit?" Mr. Zhuang was a little strange and asked, "Niu Niuniang carried money out?" No, I didn't hear you were short of money? ”

Cao Hao put the silver ticket on the kang and said, "Didn't you carry the money, didn't you mention it to Mr. Tong before?" I wanted to buy some property for my husband, but my husband was impatient to take care of it, so I made a private decision and came out of Daoxiang Village to add wine money to my husband. ”

Mr. Zhuang has experienced prosperity all his life, and he does not pay attention to these things outside his body.

Seeing that Cao Hao was serious, he also responded, and said: "Since you are sincere, then I will accept it, just save some dowry for Niuniu." Speaking of this, he also smiled and said: "They were all abducted by the two of you, and now the two sisters of Lianqiu also saw something good, so they thought about putting it away, saying that it was for their daughter to add makeup in the future." ”

"It's a lot of fun, isn't it?" Cao Hao smiled.

Mr. Zhuang touched his beard and said, "Nowadays, the old man's pleasure is to go to the front door with the little monk to watch the play. It's been very cold lately, otherwise, I really want to see the sky. ”

Because he still had to go to Wei Hei's side, Cao Hao chatted with Mr. Zhuang for a few more words, and then came out of the Banyan Courtyard with Chu Yu.

The Rong Courtyard is on the East Road, and the courtyard where Wei Hei lives is in the West Courtyard.

The husband and wife carried the glass lamp through the courtyard on the middle road, and before they reached the west courtyard, they heard a bit of crazy dog barking.

Then, he heard footsteps, and Wu Sheng came over with a team of patrolling nursing homes.

It was already dark, because it was the beginning of the month, and there was only a thin crescent moon in the sky, and it was not bright silver.

Chu Yu was frightened by the barking of the dog, and the hand held by Cao Hao also trembled.

Cao Hao was also disturbed by the dog's barking, held his wife's hand, stood there, and said to Wu Mao, who came over: "The dog's movement is not right, go and see if there is anything unclean outside." ”

He remembered what he had done in the Li Mansion in the past, so he asked carefully.

Wu Sheng nodded in response, and took the family down to check without mentioning it.

After a while, I saw Wu Sheng come back to tell him, and the Tao was that a dog fell to the ground, and the others did not fall, but the spirit was not quite right.

In Cao Hao's mind, I don't know why, the words "meat buns" suddenly flashed.

I couldn't help but "soar" in my heart, and I was a little worried, could it be that outsiders are eyeing this side of the house?

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?

Cao Hao has calculated others, so he is naturally afraid that others will calculate him. His face was solemn, and he said to Wu Sheng: "Light the lamp, take a good look at the outer wall, and there are no traces of people coming in and out." The various courtyards in the front yard are also shaken with lights, and under the New Year, thieves and thieves are rampant, and the thieves are carefully entered. ”

Wu Sheng bowed in response, and heard footsteps gradually, it was Wei Hei and Zheng Hu coming together.

I must have heard the dog barking, sensed that something was wrong, and came out to check. They just heard Cao Hao's last words, and they all said very much.

Wei Hei was worried that he would really sneak in, so he persuaded Cao Hao and the two of them to go back to Ermen.

If you really get into the bad guys, won't the rules of the two doors still restrain the bad guys?

Cao Hao asked Wei Hei to go first, and he and Chu Yu went to the west courtyard to wait for a while.

Xiangcao was doing needlework under the lamp, and when they saw that their husband and wife were coming, they hurriedly put down their work and served tea.

Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, we just drank tea in Mr.'s yard, and we don't feel thirsty." ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't drink tea, Vanilla asked the little maid to pack up a plate of dried fruits and put it up.

Chu Yu saw a small belly pocket on the side of the kang, looked at the handiwork was very fine, and asked with a smile: "Why did you think of making these?" Could it be that there is movement? ”

Vanilla and Wei Hei have been married for three years, and they have been looking forward to having children, but they have always moved.

Even Chu Yu had heard about it, and he had asked someone to find the old recipe of the palace and send it to the vanilla. Every time I went out of the house with Amethyst to worship the Buddha before, I also made an appointment with vanilla.

Vanilla shook her head with a smile and said, "No." I received a letter from my second uncle at noon today, and I said that there was another kid over there at the beginning of October. The ones I'm preparing are also the ones from there. ”

While speaking, Wei Hei had already come back and said to Cao Hao: "Uncle, after looking at that section of the wall, it seems that someone wanted to come in and was scared away by the barking of dogs." Wu Shengtong Tiger led two teams of people, one team searched in the house, and the other looked out into the alley. ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "I know." The walls of our courtyard are not high, and we have to think of an idea in the future to find a way to defend ourselves. ”

Wei Hei said: "Uncle is right, Lao Hei was also thinking about this just now." Now that the old lady is also in the house, it is really impossible to ignore it. ”

Speaking of this, the atmosphere was a little stuffy, and Cao Hao turned the topic to the topic of Wei Bai Tianzi.

When Wei Hei heard the mention of his nephew, his face immediately became a little more happy, and said, "The second child is quite capable of giving birth, and I hope to have two more." In two years, if my side is lonely, I will take my nephew over and raise ...... by my side."

* Inside Andingmen, Prince Yong's Mansion, study.

There was silence in the room, and the sound of the large grandfather clock was heard. The fourth elder brother stood behind the bookcase, his brows twisted into the word "Sichuan".

In front of the bookcase, standing Dai Jin, his face was a little more solemn. Next to him, a man in black knelt.

"Someone wants to be unfavorable to the Cao family?" Dai Jin groaned, a little puzzled: "The father and son of the Cao family are low-key, how can they still cause these troubles?" The night makes people peep, and there must be no good intentions. ”

After saying that, he regretted it a little.

Not to mention anything else, it is the Cao family who can be "guarded" by the people in the dry place tonight, which is the handiwork of the fourth elder brother.

Although the Cao family's father and son are simple people, the fourth elder brother is a suspicious person, and he always thinks of both sides of certain things.

Are the Cao family's father and son the real Son of Heaven alone, or are there other things secretly involved? The fourth elder brother always wants to understand thoroughly, so there is a reason for people to stay outside Cao's mansion.

After a while, the fourth elder brother instructed the man kneeling in the place: "Increase the number of people, and continue to make people watch over there." Ordinary people also try to find out their identities as much as possible. ”

The man answered, and the fourth elder brother asked Dai Jindao: "Dare to directly call someone to visit Cao's Mansion at night, is it a thief passing by, or is it instructed by someone else?" What do you think? ”

Dai Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "If you go back to the fourth master, the slave won't be able to see the mystery for a while." Now the eighth master is still detained in Tangquan, the tenth master is in Suihu, and only the ninth master is left in the capital. Even if he has a vendetta with the Cao family, it is not good to act rashly at this time. ”

The fourth elder brother also thought so, nodded and said, "If Lao Jiu is smart, he should recuperate now, and stop messing with those messy moths." ”

Listening to the sound of "Dangdang", it was already the beginning of the morning (nine o'clock in the evening), and the fourth elder brother said to Dai Jin: "You go back and rest first, I still have to deal with a few official documents here." ”

Dai Jin went down in response, and the fourth elder brother sat on the chair and was silent for a long time before he reached out and lifted the brush and made instructions under the official document...... * Fangjia Hutong, Dong E's house.

Jue Luo sat on the kang, groping his granddaughter's hair, and his face showed a little love and sadness. After Laba, Fuchafu will send someone to pick it up.

Sixteen is the right son, fifteen is over the dowry, before this, there are still some brides who are well maintained, and they have to wait for relatives and friends to add makeup.

Jinghui took Jue Luo's hand, looked at her grandmother's gray-haired appearance, her eyes were sour, and she left tears, and said, "Grandmother, if your granddaughter is not by your side in the future, how can you ......?"

"Silly boy, whose daughter didn't come out of the cabinet? Grandmother didn't look forward to anything else all these years, but hoped that you would be able to rely on you for the rest of your life. Now that all wishes have come true, even if you go underground, your grandmother will be able to deal with your Ama and her mother! Speaking of this, Jue Luo wiped his granddaughter's tears with a handkerchief, and then said: "After you get married, add a great-grandson to your grandmother as soon as possible, and your grandmother will be Amitabha, and you don't have to worry about your grandmother." ”

I feel that Luo has said these words more than once, Jinghui listened, but the reluctance and worry in her heart lingered.

"Tonight, my granddaughter will sleep next to her grandmother, okay?" Jinghui asked in a low voice.

Seeing her pitiful, Jue Luo was also a little reluctant, and said: "If you want to sleep, you can sleep, grandmother is light, and it is just the same as my good granddaughter's nagging rules and taboos for being a wife." It's hard to be a daughter-in-law, it's even more difficult to be an eldest daughter-in-law, if you want to get ahead, you have to set rules for a few years, and when the children are older, you can have room to speak......"

Jinghui listened, and her face showed a little panic.

Jue Luo said: "You don't need to be afraid, whose daughter-in-law didn't come over like this?" My daughter-in-law has been a mother-in-law for many years, and sometimes, I can still remember the scene when I was the new daughter-in-law standing with my feet full of bubbles......"
