With Cao Hao's current state of mind, the "warmth and coldness" that he has encountered in recent days is just like floating clouds. However, to his surprise, the reaction of the Li family and the Sun family.

After the Sun family went north, they were not far from the Cao family; Although Sun Wenyuan did not show up, Sun Lilai, the grandparent, asked his grandmother to say goodbye, and he did not leave Xifu here.

Li Nai did not avoid suspicion, and even Li Xu, who had been in seclusion since Gao Taijun's death, also showed up and came on crutches.

The old man didn't put his uncle's grandfather's score, and the housekeeper who was going to go to the government to call someone went to see the Li family like an ordinary visitor.

Hearing that the uncle of the Li family was coming, Chu Yu also went to the Lan Courtyard to ask for peace, and then retreated, leaving their brother and sister to talk.

He was already more than ten years older than the Li family, and now he is an old man, a rich and delicate man, who doesn't look like a brother and sister, but more like a father, daughter, uncle and nephew.

Li remembered that in his early years in the Li family, he relied on his cousin and sister-in-law to take care of him, and he didn't repay anything, but for the sake of protecting his husband's family, he was separated from his mother's family for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"It's hot now, if the eldest brother has something to say, send someone to call me, where is the best place to toss the eldest brother?" Li said with a bit of disgust.

Li Xu squinted his eyes, touched his somewhat sparse beard, and said, "What's the matter, it's just that I'm bored at home, so I'm out for a walk...... Thinking that I hadn't seen some of them, I arrived here before I knew it......"

The two brothers and sisters, gossiping and homely, the originally estranged family affection has also been brought a little closer in conversation.

"It's almost June...... It's my sister-in-law's life sacrifice, I don't know if my nephew is there? A few days ago, I sent sesame oil money to Guanghua Temple, lit a lotus lamp, and ...... "Speaking of old things, it is rare to mention Li Xu's late wife Han, Li said.

Thinking of Han's kindness, Li's face was full of remembrance.

In the past, she was in a similar situation to Niuniu now, she was under the fence, but she had the identity of a clansman. The cousin and cousin take care of themselves no less than the sons and daughters-in-law take care of Niuniu.

Because of this, she is more loving to Niuniu than other grandchildren.

Li Xu listened and was quite moved: "After all these years, it's hard for you to remember." The boss mentioned it a while ago, I mean, I want to go to Tongzhou......"

The tomb of the Li family is in Tongzhou, and both the Han family and the Gao family are buried in Tongzhou.

When Li heard this, he was a little moved: "If the eldest brother goes to the grave?" Or would I go with me? ”

The sacred heart is unpredictable, there are rumors outside, and Li Xu can't figure out whether the emperor's words about moving the Cao family are true or false.

In any case, it is true that Cao Hao is in an embarrassing situation and has no skills.

Therefore, he hurriedly said: "I just took the boss over and burned a few pieces of paper and returned...... Seeing that you are in an ambush, if you move, can you survive the two talks, and the children will also be uneasy...... If you want to go to worship, wait until the end of the year to round the grave of the second old lady......"

In his words, there was a tone of reprimand.

Li Shi was not annoyed, humbly listened to the lesson, nodded and said, "Then listen to the eldest brother, and wait until the end of the year to go." It's just that the eldest brother should not patronize me, in the end, when I am old, the eldest brother should take care of me......"

One has been idle for many years, the other is a woman in the house, and the topic of two brothers and sisters, to put it mildly, is just a short story about children and grandchildren.

At noon, the Li family also left rice, and the prepared dishes were all Jiangsu and Zhejiang style side dishes, but the rice was warm japonica rice.

In the family of the powerful, this way of eating is a little unsuitable for the table, but it is the most suitable for Li Xu's taste.

On a hot day, eating refreshing rice, Li Xu ate most of his favorite side dishes on half of the plate, and added an extra bowl of rice.

"I have lived this life, and through the light of the Holy Grandfather, I have also tasted the delicacies, and in the end, this regular meal is the most delicious." Putting down the chopsticks, Li Xu rinsed his mouth with the tea sent by the Li family, and then said.

Li entertained with heart, and when he saw that his cousin was satisfied, he was also happy.

It's just that Li Xu is old in the end, and the brother and sister talk for a while, and they can't support it, so they quit Li and go home.

When Cao Hao came back from the yamen, he heard the porter hear about Li Xu's arrival, and he still had some doubts in his heart, afraid that Li Xu would listen to the movement outside and come here to say this and that, which would scare the Li family.

When he returned to Wutong Garden and listened to his wife's details, Cao Hao realized that Li Xu had just come to visit the door, and he stayed with Li for a while. The two brothers and sisters talked and laughed, and Li's appetite even improved a little, and he used two bowls of rice.

Cao Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

Because of this, Cao Hao and the two of them had dinner in the Orchid Courtyard for a while, but they persuaded and persuaded them, took the children, and coaxed the Li family to use two more mouthfuls.

Now that I heard that the Li family has eaten more, I am obviously in a good mood.

"I don't know what delicious food the old lady remembers, but she was sleepy and ate two more cups of strong tea, and she was really hungry at this time." Cao Hao changed out of his official uniform and said to Chu Yu.

When Cao Hao cleaned his face, the husband and wife did not delay and went to the Lan Courtyard.

Today, it is said that Hengsheng is resting, and Tianyou went to the palace, and sent someone to say that he would return after dinner. The other children were already waiting in the upper room of the Lan Courtyard.

Seeing Cao Hao and his wife coming in, Changsheng took Tianhui and Tianbao to get up from their seats.

After Cao Hao greeted the Li family, they sat down again.

There was a smile between Li's eyebrows and eyes, exuding pleasure from his heart.

When it comes to the visit of his cousin and the birth sacrifice of Mrs. Han, there is a strong attachment in the words.

Chu Yu knew about lighting the lotus lantern in Guanghua Temple, and when he saw his mother-in-law's heart, he joked: "If it is Zhang Luo on the uncle's side, it is not good for us to be juniors and not know. If you can't go to Tongzhou, it is also your intention to light a stick of incense in the ancestral hall. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he hesitated a little and said, "I want to go over backwards, but on a hot day, isn't it too troublesome?" ”

Chu Yu said with a smile: "It's just that from Xicheng to Dongcheng, it's a slow journey, and there is a time to come." Put an ice box in the car to make sure it doesn't get hot at all...... Even the eldest man of the Li family and a few nephews, seeing the old lady returning to the province, they are only happy, where will they feel troublesome......"

In the past two years, as the Li family's situation gradually improved, the Li family's old house in Dongcheng was also redeemed. At the beginning of spring, the Li family moved back to the old house, so Chu Yu said so.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's words, Li was very moved, but he still didn't speak, but turned his head to look at his eldest son with a little apprehension.

The eldest son he relied on has never liked his closeness to the Li family.

Li's eyes flashed slightly, and the entanglements in his heart were written on his face, and Cao Hao still didn't understand.

There was a bit of astringency in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Because of his surname of protecting himself, he forced the Li family to stay away from the Li family early. Even the help of the Li family when they were in trouble also left room for fear that the two families would not be able to figure it out.

In addition, the identity of the Li family was exposed, and the kinship relationship with the Li family was also lost, and this kinship was also in name only, so Cao Hao became more and more comfortable when he was alienated from the Li family. The occasional closeness is just for the world to see and maintain a face.

However, he did not care about Li's mood.

Even if the first emperor posthumously crowned Empress Xiaoqi, he did not recognize the daughter of the Li family. In the eyes of the Li family, compared with those blood-related clansmen, the Li family is the maiden family in her heart.

"Since it is my aunt's sacrifice, I should go for a while. I made it clear in advance, and the yamen has not been busy recently, so I will accompany the old lady to ......," Cao Hao said.

Li's eyes immediately added a little brilliance, and then he thought of his son's early warnings, glanced at the few children sitting next to him, and hesitated: "Is it cheap?" You're a cousin, so it's not good to delay your errand...... If it's not cheap, it's okay to talk about it later, and I don't really want to go......"

It is precisely because he is a hall official that the specific errands are taken care of by the officials below, and Cao Hao's life is leisurely.

The sentence asked by the Li family was just a subtle indication that if her son was still afraid of the Li family, she would not go.

Cao Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "Nothing is not cheap, the old lady is ...... when he orders."

When Li heard this, the joy on his face increased a little.

Changsheng and Tianbao were listening lively, and they also said that they were going to go; Even Tianhui, whose surname is quiet, has a little emotion in his expression.

When Gao Taijun was alive, Li Cheng's wife He often followed her husband to Cao's Mansion to ask for peace. She is the adopted daughter of Wang Fujin of Lianjun, who grew up in the Eight Masters Mansion and was raised by Bafujin. Although she looks like other Jiangnan women, she is petite and feminine, but her speech is very refreshing, and she is a few points better than ordinary boudoir women.

For this reason, Tianhui also has a personal relationship with this cousin-in-law.

Li Cheng followed the merchant ships of the household department to the south, and it was not easy for the He family to go out at will.

Only when Niuniu got married, she came with her mother-in-law to give gifts. But at that time, the house was in a mess, and the two sisters-in-law couldn't speak.

Therefore, seeing that her grandmother was going to Li's house as a guest, Tianhui couldn't help but express her desire to follow it.

Seeing that the children and grandchildren were not avoiding the Li family, the Li family exhaled quietly, only to feel a lot more relaxed.

The house is full of joy, and the big guy is already looking forward to going out in a few days...... * Li family, backyard.

Li Xu was crooked on the kang, his face sallow.

At noon, he was greedy for a while, ate an extra bowl of rice, and came back a little too much, which made Li Xu suffer a big crime.

vomited and diarrhea, tossed for a long time, until everything in his stomach was clean, and there was no longer any strength in his body, he fell crookedly on the kang.

However, the filial Li Nai, who was bluffed half to death, asked a doctor for medicine, and was so anxious that the fire burned.

The stomach was uncomfortable, and the doctor explained, so he was told to recuperate for two days and defeated the fire, and Li Xu's dinner was gone.

He rubbed his stomach and muttered, "It's obviously heat stroke, so I panicked, how can I say that I have eaten too much...... It's a quack, and this talk doesn't make sense......"
