A book of Buddhist scriptures is familiar to Yongzheng, the emperor who has been worshipping Buddha for decades.

If he didn't have the company of these Buddhist scriptures, he would not have been able to restrain his impetuousness when he was young and survive the turmoil of the Kowloon succession.

But for the prince who grew up in the deep palace, where can he devote himself to the Buddha?

If he really had no desires and no desires, he would not be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan now, either he would have been calculated to become a bone scum, or he would be an idle clan in a mediocre manner.

The forbearance in it is unspeakable.

Just like those concubines in the deep palace, they are extremely pious in front of the Buddha, but they can't hide their desires and viciousness, and all kinds of drastic means emerge in an endless stream for the emperor's favor.

Cao Hao is different.

He is not only the eldest son, but also an only son for a long time, and was raised by his elders as a precious egg.

Even if he suffered a little bit of writing when he was a child, he did not change his surname, and still developed a character of generosity.

When he was young, he held a funeral in the monastery, and he also had a half-brother who became a monk, and he himself did not care about the power of women.

The king should be wary of too ambitious courtiers; For courtiers who are too unambitious, it will also be a headache for the king.

He didn't point Cao Hao as the secretary of the military department, he was sympathetic to the courtiers, just because Cao Hao was still young, he didn't want to call Cao Hao ruthlessly, and wanted to let him recuperate.

Cao Hao is there at the age of age, and he is a courtier who can be left to the next emperor.

Cao Hao wants to devote himself to worshipping the Buddha, so won't the court lose a useful courtier?

There are very few officials like Cao Hao who are both diligent and not greedy for ink.

Even if there is an occasional Tian Wenjing, who is obviously the governor and has no shortage of honest silver, he still puts on a shabby face and seeks to be famous.

Yongzheng boasts that his eyes are like torches, where can he be coaxed?

He didn't have any disagreement with Tian Wenjing's behavior in his heart, and sometimes he felt ridiculously tight.

How could someone like Cao Hao, who was both capable and reassuring him, not staring?

Yongzheng threw the secret report in his hand on the imperial case, and slightly picked the corners of his mouth, and already had a plan in his heart...... * Wutong Garden, go to the room.

Cao Hao sat cross-legged on the kang and played with a string of eighteen bracelets in his hand.

This is the old lady asked the master to open the light, and in the Buddha statue enshrined thirty-six Buddha beads, which are the old lady's fist and love for the heart of the son. Whether you like it or not, the old man still takes it, and the old lady is not worried. Chu Yu said.

Cao Hao rubbed his hand and said, "How can you not be happy?" This bracelet is quaint and very much to my liking. As he spoke, he brought the bracelet to his wrist.

Perhaps because it has been enshrined in the temple for a long time, this bracelet exudes a faint sandalwood fragrance, but it is not greasy, but it makes people feel peaceful.

Cao Hao calculated that it was already the tenth day of the first month, and he would start to go to the yamen after the fifteenth.

"I haven't coughed for a few days, so the medicine has stopped." Cao Hao thought for a while and said to his wife.

Doctor Chen had already instructed that if the cough improves, he can stop the decoction and continue to use the medicine and diet to nourish him.

Chu Yu listened to her husband's words, nodded and kept the matter in her heart.

This year, spring begins early, on the second day of the first lunar month, and the temperature warms up significantly after Chinese New Year's Eve.

Judging from this situation, by the beginning of February, when the "Ninety-Nine" is over, Li and Cao Xiang will be able to make the trip.

Chunhua also took the child with him and went to Jiangning to greet his mother-in-law Zhao Jia.

On the side of Cao Hao and his wife, they had to help the Li family prepare various gifts.

After all, the Li family has been in Jiangnan for more than 40 years, and the Cao and Li families also have many old friends in Jiangnan.

As he spoke, Cao Hao couldn't help but yearn for it.

Since he left Beijing in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, he has returned to Jiangning four times, the first time Cao Yin was ill, the second time Cao Quan died of illness, the third time he returned from Guangzhou to go to Wei's house, and the fourth time was Cao Song's "injury".

Every time there is bad information, it is all rushing and rushing, rushing back and forth.

From the time he woke up when he was seven years old, he stayed in Jiangning for nine years.

Counting the capital again, it has been eighteen years, plus the lifetime, where is the hometown, it is already a little vague.

Seeing that her husband didn't speak, Chu Yu thought that he was in a low mood because he couldn't serve his mother-in-law going south, and said, "With the fourth uncle and four aunts with him, and the seventh uncle by his side, the master can rest assured." ”

Cao Hao heard this and said in surprise: "Changsheng is also going?" Didn't he say that he would take this year's children's exam, why did he change his mind again? ”

Chu Yu said: "I heard that I want to wait for a year and end up with Tianyang next year." Tianyang wanted to end this year, but the fourth uncle said that his homework was not solid and asked him to wait another year. ”

The two uncles and nephews are only two years apart, and they are usually together, Cao Hao knows it.

But Cao Hao does not approve of this "righteousness" of immortality, boys are different from girls, they should read hard, and they must have a sense of responsibility and responsibility.

If Tianyang begged Changsheng to wait for him for a year, it would be too dependent on Changsheng, which was not a good sign.

If Changsheng took the initiative to stay with Tianyang, then there were two possibilities: one was really young and righteous, and he only wanted to take care of his nephew who was younger than himself; The other is that he is afraid of the science field and just finds an excuse to work for a year.

If it is the former, it is not clear about the priority and thoughtless.

The examination room is strict, even if the uncle and nephew take the exam together, there is nothing to take care of. The best solution is for Changsheng to end as scheduled, and the experience and lessons of his own fate will be given to Tianyang, and Tianyang will also have some benefits.

If the latter is cowering and can't admit his lack of timidity, he has no sense of responsibility and less responsibility.

Either way, it's not what Cao Hao is happy to see.

It stands to reason that a family like the Cao family, with Cao Hao supporting the portal, Tianyou, the eldest son, is also getting older, and Changsheng is pampered as the youngest brother of the head of the family, and there is nothing wrong with being a rich idler.

Cao Hao doesn't think so, one day the Li family or he will all pass away, will Changsheng be dependent on his nephew to make a living?

Although this kind of dependence abounds among the powerful families, between the elders and the young, and between the concubines, Cao Hao is not happy that this situation will occur in his own family.

Everyone in the world is snobbish, even the servants know how to watch people put down dishes, choose which master to tie up, and snub that master.

If you live forever and mediocre and depend on your nephew to live, then you will be said to be an outsider, and even your subordinates will look down on you.

Tianyou still has a wife, and there will be children in the future, can they really respect Changsheng, the elder who depends on them to live?

Cao Hao really loves his younger brother, how could he let him fall into that embarrassing situation?

In his heart, he has faintly felt guilty about Cao Yin and his wife over the years.

On the one hand, he does regard his own family as Cao Hao, the Cao family as his responsibility, and Cao Yin and Li as his father; On the other hand, he clearly remembered his previous life, even under the guise of filial piety and responsibility, in fact, he was just planning for his comfortable life.

Between father and son, between mother and son, there is always something separated in intimacy.

No one broke this, but Cao Yin and Li also knew it. No matter how much they love their eldest son, they don't dare to make any decisions for him beyond the eldest son.

Cao Hao knows this distance, and he is helpless, after all, he can't erase the memories of his previous life, for the Cao family and Cao Yin and his wife, the love of responsibility is greater than the love of flesh and blood.

Having immortality is a comfort to Cao Yin and his wife.

After all, in terms of body and soul, Cao Hao is only half of the son of Cao Yin and his wife, but his immortality is the whole.

The two are called brothers, in fact, Cao Yin went early, and his immortality depends on the eldest brother's teaching.

Even if Cao Hao didn't expect him to spread his wings, he didn't want to keep him as a waste material.

Now that this little sapling is a little crooked, of course Cao Hao can't stand by.

After dinner, he found a reason to find Changsheng.

This Spring Festival, due to Cao Hao's illness, the correspondence of Cao's Mansion was entertained by Tianyou and Changsheng.

Although Changsheng's face is still immature, he is much more calm and sensible.

As if without noticing, he jumped up, and it was as high as the bridge of Cao Hao's nose.

Cao Hao sat on the kang, pointed to the opposite position, and said, "Sit down." I heard your sister-in-law say, you want to serve the old lady to go south, why can't the boy try? ”

When Changsheng heard this, his face was flushed, and he said honestly: "It's just that I'm afraid that I won't be able to do well in the exam, and I can't raise my head in front of my nephews, so I used my son to postpone it for a year." ”

is so honest, Cao Hao has nothing on his face, but he is quite relieved in his heart.

"Are you scared? But once you have planned the path you want to take, you will end up in the end. What if you are timid next year? Is there still an excuse to delay it for two years? Cao Hao said.

Changsheng shook his head without hesitation and said, "That's not going to happen, I just have two books that I haven't learned thoroughly, and if I postpone them until February next year, I will have a whole year of hard work." Even the stone head should be written down, and I am not a stone head. ”

Changsheng is indeed not stupid, he inherited Cao Yin's talent, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all more aura, and what is missing is the precipitation of time.

It's just that he really doesn't know how to get started with the Bagu article, so he knows very much that he wants to bypass the imperial examination, that is, to participate in the children's examination to achieve fame in Xiucai, and then take the six-part pen post test.

Seeing that his idea was correct, Cao Hao thought for a while and said: "The ruler is short, the inch is long, whether it is a boy's test or a test, there are many people who end up, and the number of people admitted is limited." You don't have to compare yourself to your nephews, they are certainly good at their homework, but all three of them are lucky. I support you, not because you want to be on the list, but because I want you to see it. It's gratifying to pass, but it's not important if you can't get over. I know, you are tender and afraid of being laughed at after falling off the list, but the road is your own, for the sake of this and that's looking, don't you still walk? ”

After saying this in one breath, Cao Hao only felt that his mouth was dry, he picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea, and continued: "You are also getting older, you are no longer a child, you were sheltered by Cao Fu in the past, and you have not suffered much." But when you go to Qixue, you should also know that there are also far and close between classmates. As long as you are dealing with people, there will inevitably be friction and collision. If you always care about other people's opinions, you will be tired to death. In this world, apart from this family, apart from your flesh and blood relatives, what do other people have to do with you? If you think about it, is this the truth? There are many such faces in the future, and they are not only faced with contempt and ridicule, if you are not strong, how can you protect yourself, how to protect your loved ones behind you......"
