After the banquet, Tianyou took Tianhu back to Dongfu.

Because he had received the letter from Puzhou a long time ago, the courtyard on Cao Fu's side was cleaned, and the west wing where Tianhu lived had already been sorted out.

The reason why Tianyou personally sent his cousin over and made a special trip to meet a few housekeepers in Dongfu was because he was afraid that they would be neglected because of Tianhu's young age.

Tianhu seems to be reborn as if no one needs to worry, and has gone from being a little bit sheltered by his cousins to a little adult.

The accompanying servants and maids were also truly in awe in front of the heavenly protectors. The heavens protect each instruction and are very orderly.

Tianyou saw it in his eyes, thought about it for a while, and said, "Third brother, does the fifth uncle often take you to the government office?" ”

Tianhu was surprised: "How does the eldest brother know? ”

Tianyou smiled: "Look at the third brother with official authority!" ”

Although it is a joke, it is not without purpose. If Tianhu was in Puzhou and only studied in the school, there would never be such a big change.

Such a half-grown teenager loves to imitate adults, and he thinks he has to learn from him.

The master of the Cao family is not strict with his subordinates, and Cao Fu is born with an elegant surname, so he thinks that except in the government office, he will not hold a shelf.

Tianhu "hehe" smiled: "Big brother just made fun of me? What kind of official authority is not official authority, but it is just to follow my father and gain more knowledge......"

The great changes in Tianhu fell in the eyes of Cao Hao and his wife, and both of them had their own thoughts.

After the feast, the children went by themselves, and the husband and wife also talked about heavenly protection.

Chu Yu's side praised Su Xin: "I was worried earlier that Tianhu was already sensible when he passed over, and it was not easy for mother and son to be close; If you have a biological child, if you don't handle it properly, it will be easy to hurt the heart of the heavenly protector. Looking at the appearance of Tianhu, the mother and son are closer than in the capital. ”

After all, Cao Fu is the uncle of Tianhu, and it is not difficult for his nephew to be regarded as his own flesh and blood; Su Xin has no blood relationship with Tianhu, and there are many biases in people's hearts, if he really loves his own son, it is also his surname.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "The fifth brother and sister are good, and the little five are also understanding people." is a posthumous child, and his biological mother is a concubine, and the second old lady has not been seen for many years, so she is afraid to raise a good child. In addition to the five brothers and sisters who really treat the heavens well, there is also the credit of Xiao Wu, guess how Xiao Wu ordered the heavens? ”

Chu Yu listened and couldn't help but be curious: "According to what the master said, Tianhu has changed a lot now, not because of the fifth aunt's kindness, but because of the fifth uncle?" I really can't guess, I always think that the fifth uncle is still a child. ”

Cao Hao said: "In Xiao Wu's letter, he mentioned that he did not want to return to Beijing, and wanted to stay in the foreign office for two more terms while he was young. also mentioned that their room needs to be protected by heaven to support the portal in the future, so that those of us who are uncles will take care of it. ”

Chu Yu said: "Although Tianhu is the eldest grandson of the second old lady, he can be embarrassed by his small identity, and now he is the eldest son who is relied on by the fifth uncle and five aunts to support the portal, and he has a little more responsibility." ”

The husband and wife looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if they are all biological children, the ten fingers are still long and short, for the fifth room, it is a hidden danger to add biological children after the heir.

Now it seems that Cao Fu and his wife treat Tianhu, the nephew and heir, really well, and they have not neglected to treat them harshly.

Tianhu did not grow crooked, and he did not feel sorry for himself and dislike himself because his parents had biological children.

Home and everything is prosperous.

Cao Hao and Chu Yu, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, are also down-to-earth.

Tianhu's family affairs, they don't need to worry about it, Cao Fu said as early as when he passed the adoptive that he would choose a daughter-in-law in the Dong family. At present, it is not decided which granddaughter of the Dong family it is, but because Tianhu is still young, she can first take the fame test and then talk about family affairs.

As for Tianhu's studies, it was agreed in the letters exchanged between Cao Hao and Cao Fu a long time ago, and there was no need to send them to the official school or the flag school, but to hire another master.

The uncle and nephew both studied the four books and five classics, and began to study the exam-taking articles, as well as the Chinese language and the national language, in preparation for the children's test and the pen-style exam.

Mr. invited two, one was a person who was preparing for the exam in Beijing, and the other was a retired household pen post, and Cao Hao had already said hello.

Because the Li family and his entourage had not returned for a few days, they were not in a hurry to let the class start, just waiting for Changsheng to come back, and the uncle and nephew would apprentice again...... The next time, Cao Hao went to the Pingwang Mansion.

In front of his brothers, Cao Jia's family had nothing to show mercy to, and he was beaten with a face.

Whether it was the candidate he chose or the candidate Chu Yu picked, in the final analysis, it was this side that took the initiative.

Facing the kind of noble family of the university scholar's mansion, the most important thing is to pay attention to etiquette, and if one is not handled properly, it will make people look down on it, and in the end, it is Tianhui who is angry.

What is it for an aunt to help her niece look at others to be a matchmaker, and for parents to help their daughters look at others?

It seems that her daughter can't get married, so she asks for a son-in-law.

Besides, it is said that the university scholar's house is "Qing Gui", and "expensive" is there, but there is the word "Qing" hanging in front of it, where is there a noble family?

If the son lived a spacious life, the wife of the scholar would not rather accompany the reputation of "greedy for money" and choose a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry.

Although Tianhui doesn't like extravagance, it is when she is arrogant and luxurious, she chooses a more comfortable life, and she has ever been wronged.

As far as diet is concerned, Tianhui likes to eat light, which is because he is tired of eating fine; But if you really see tofu and cabbage in the sky and no meat foam, then the good person will have no appetite.

Even if the dowry is rich, when you get to your husband's house, can you really look at your husband's clear soup and radishes, and you can eat big fish and meat?

It's not that the university scholars have really reached this point of poverty, but they just use diet as an example, it is that the family background of the university scholars is a little thinner, and the Cao family, who is rich in style, is definitely different, and the future is not at ease.

Even if Tianhui is not picky, if her husband's side thinks too much, some of them will be embarrassed.

Cao Hao just listened honestly and didn't argue.

Cao Jia's family is so worried, but also because he feels sorry for Tianhui, he is a younger brother, and he can only be grateful.

Cao Jiashi was tired of saying it, so he stopped.

Looking at her younger brother's honest and affectionate appearance, the depression in her heart also dissipated: "I just said that, the children of the Eight Banners are so gentle, and it is rare to have a good appearance and talent like Shu Hede." I inquired, the family style of the university scholar is also correct, Shu Hede is nineteen, clean and self-conscious, and there is no one in the room, not a person who is engaged in three or four. Arrange how you want, even if the reputation of the university scholar is different, you two don't have to worry too much. Whether she is really loving, or has other plans, her years are there, and she is a mother-in-law, so she can't make a fuss......"

Speaking of this, she paused and said, "Although I saw him earlier, I haven't dealt with him before...... If you arrange a dinner at the third sister's side, don't forget to tell me, I'll go over and have a look. ”

He is Xu Yuanmeng's wife.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "That's natural, there are many things that my sister has to help me come up with." Marrying with King Jian's Mansion refers to marriage, and there is a precedent before me, and the matter is handled calmly. Tianhui is here, but it is not good to follow the example of her aunts, there are more things that need to be agreed. ”

Cao Jiashi nodded and said: "That's the truth, Sister Hui is the granddaughter of the eldest daughter, and the mother family is noble, with such a background and appearance, not to mention the eldest grandson of a university scholar, even if she is a prince and a county king, Fujin is qualified." Even if Shu Hede has fame, he is just a showman, whether he is a prisoner or an official, he always has to make a better name before he can officially welcome his relatives. ”

Cao Hao said: "We don't need to mention these, Xu Xiang has already made arrangements for the future of the eldest grandson, and he will be arranged to take the cabinet exam." ”

When Cao Jiashi heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "The cabinet secretary, not only can he often show his face in front of the emperor, but he can also be promoted after five years, and then he will be the fifth grade...... Even if Xu Yuanmeng retires at that time, there are still a few of you brothers to take care of...... It's just that I don't know, when will our Sister Hui become a lady...... "In the end, there are still shortcomings.

In this world, women have "three obedience and four virtues", follow their fathers at home, and marry their husbands.

Husband and wife.

No matter how confident her mother's family is, Tianhui's identity follows her husband.

Even if she marries a side branch clan, as long as the title is above the general of the auxiliary country, she is a super or a first- or second-grade lady, and she can be on the throne even if she is facing Shangshu and Mrs. Shilang.

can marry into an official family, no matter what the identity of the husband's family is, the final hope is still on the husband...... Even if Cao Jia's side also nodded, then Cao Hao and his wife asked someone to reply to Cao Yi and asked her to arrange it on their behalf.

After a few days, Cao Yi gave Chu Yu a post, only to say that he had a few pots of good peonies at home, and the flowers were in full bloom, and he wanted to invite his sister-in-law and niece to go over to relax.

In a blink of an eye, when it was time to enjoy the flowers, Chu Yu stared at her daughter to clean up, and the mother and daughter took a carriage to the Guogong Mansion.

In addition to Chu Yu's mother and daughter, the guests here in the Guogong Mansion also included Cao Jia's family and the prince's wife Fei Mo's, the old lady of the Tatara clan and her granddaughter of the University Scholar's Mansion, and Cao Yi's sister-in-law Yu Ruigege mother and daughter.

After the death of the old prince, Yurui Gege kept his filial piety for three years, and Cao Hao was the matchmaker and told Nalan Fusen's eldest son.

Soon after getting married, he caught up with the head of the Nalan family and died of illness, and in order to seize the wealth of the Pearl Mansion, the ninth elder brother looked for a son, and demoted Nalan Fusen, who was the head of the Nalan family, to Fujian, and Yurui Gege followed the in-laws and family to leave Beijing, until the death of the emperor, and he did not return to the capital until he ascended the throne.

Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise, and when he ascended the throne today, because the Nalan people had attached the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, many of them were abandoned, but Nalan Fusen was not among them.

Nalan Fusen directly raised the three flags, not to mention, the eldest son Zhanhai also made up the guards, and in a few years, he has been promoted from a third-class guard to a first-class guard.

Yurui Gege's parents are thin, but they are blessed in the children's relationship, married for more than ten years, first blossomed and then fruited, gave birth to a girl and three boys, and now the son is comfortable and comfortable, and he is also close to his mother's family.

Now she said that she took it back to her parents' house, that is, the eldest daughter who was added when she got married, her nickname is Guiyuan, and she is eleven years old.

Cao Jia's and daughter-in-law are the most noble, but they arrived relatively early, only behind Yurui's mother and daughter.

Because of the recent visit to his son to see his daughter-in-law, seeing a little girl as big as Guiyuan, Cao Jiashi was more attentive, and had to hold hands and ask a few more questions.

Although Nalan Fusen is the concubine of the Nalan family, with the decline of the Nalan family, this house has become more prominent, and he knows that Nalan Fusen is friendly with his mother's family, which makes Cao Jia's family quite concerned.

Knowing that his sister-in-law's "flower viewing banquet" had been arranged, and he brought his daughter over, Yurui Gege also had a plan in his heart, but he was not on the side of King Ping's Mansion.

Seeing Cao Jiashi holding Guiyuan's hand, full of praise, full of love, Yurui gave her sister-in-law a look.

Cao Yi hesitated, but said with a smile: "Although our aunt and grandmother have three sons, the most painful thing is this precious girl, and now she is starting to pay attention, just waiting for the selection, and then start to pick a son-in-law." ”

Cao Jiashi was stunned when he heard this, then put down Guiyuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Parents in this world are the same, children are baby bumps, especially beautiful girls, and they must be ...... heart."

Since you want to choose a son-in-law for yourself, you are waiting for the palace to make a sign, it seems that you have no intention of the clan, otherwise it will be more decent to ask the palace to marry.

Although Cao Jiashi had some regrets, looking at the little girl's meticulous makeup and dressing, it was not like an ordinary visit to her uncle and aunt's house, and her heart couldn't help but move, her eyes were bent, and she looked at Guiyuan even more carefully.

The Nalan family has always been rich in beautiful women and handsome men, and Longan is no exception.

has both the dignified atmosphere of the northern lady and the spirit of the southern woman, which looks much more delicate than the ordinary Beijing celebrities.

Therefore, Cao Jiashi fell in love with it just after a glance...... Outside the Guogong Mansion, the carriages of the University Scholar's Mansion and the Cao Mansion were more than ten zhang apart, and they arrived at the Guogong Mansion one after another.

Because the two families were relatives, and they were usually moving around, the porter asked people to send letters inside, and on the other hand, they asked people to introduce the two carriages outside the second gate one after another.

At this time, Cao Yi had already gotten the news and rushed to the second gate to greet him.

Cao Yi had just finished greeting him here, and the carriage from Cao's mansion had also arrived.

Although she is a close relative of her mother's family, Chu Yu is the eldest sister-in-law, and Cao Yi is not easy to be dismissive, so she confessed to him and Tala, and took a few steps closer to help the eldest sister-in-law get out of the car.

Seeing that the sister-in-law was respectful and respectful, as if to Dabin, Chu Yu just wanted to make fun of a few words, when he saw the ancestor of the Tala clan standing not far away.

She was solemn, helped her sister-in-law's men to get out of the carriage, and after the sister-in-law introduced her, she greeted him.

Although she has a good temper, she really wants to stand up and bring dignity.

Even if she is facing the lady of a scholar, she is the grandson of the Holy Ancestor and the eldest daughter of the prince, and the royal seal of Heshuo Gege is not only noble, but also has a much higher grade than the Tatara clan.

Seeing her like this, the scholar's wife became more respectful when she spoke.

Although Tianhui was by her mother's side, she also saw her aunt's mother-in-law's relatives "aunt and grandmother", and bent her knees to say goodbye in a proper manner.

The scholar's wife personally helped Tianhui up, took Tianhui's hand, and did not look up and down rudely, but squinted, looked at Tianhui's eyebrows, looked at the clear eyes, slowly showed a big smile, and said with a smile: "I heard the daughter-in-law of Tu Praise Hui for a long time, but today it is the first time I have seen her, such a character, no wonder everyone loves it." When the old woman saw it, she also felt that she liked it too much......"
