Even if the guests come to the door, there is no reason to drive them out.

It's just that with the identity of Yongquan, the two families have such a festival, and they are really not qualified to make Cao Hao come out to welcome him. Cao Hao waved his hand and asked the steward to go down and bring the guests over.

Cao Song was already impatient on the side, stood up, and complained to Cao Hao: "Brother, is this a shameless face, who is so rare that he can't see him?" The third brother-in-law is too, okay, what's going on? ”

"Let's see what Yongquan said first, I can't wait to come to the door, I think I have something to say. Again, don't be reckless. Cao Hao commanded.

Cao Song replied curtly, looking at the courtyard, and there was no smile on his face.

As he spoke, Seshtu and Yongquan had already turned around the shadow wall and followed the steward in.

When they got closer, Cao Hao got up from his seat and saw each other.

After the meeting, the guests and hosts sat down.

Looking at Cao Song's gaze like a knife, Yongquan, who was already sweating on his forehead, wiped his sweat more and more.

Cao Hao's face was silent, but he was already annoyed in his heart. Looking at Yongquan's meaning, it is clearly not like agreeing to withdraw from the marriage. What do you mean by moving to Seshtu?

Did he think that if someone said that he was together, he would be able to fool the Cao family and pinch his nose to recognize this family business?

Thinking of this, Cao Hao glanced at Seshtu. This time, it depends on where his brother-in-law's elbow turns? Is it towards the general's mansion, which is also a clan, or towards his wife's maiden family?

Looking at the reaction of the two Cao Hao brothers, Seshtu already regretted it in his heart, he should have rejected Yongquan Cai, why did he still mix in this troubled water?

Yongquan wiped his sweat for a long time, and cautiously peeked at Cao Hao's face, his heart was already up and down, and he didn't know which sentence to start with.

There was really no way, so he had to look at Seshtu with pleading on his face.

Seshtu was also embarrassed, bowed his head and made a tea-like appearance, only to do nothing.

In this matter, it is ridiculous to say that the heavens are all forever deceived in the past, and the remedy that has been come up with now is really ridiculous.

The room was so quiet that it was terrifying, Cao Song couldn't hold his breath the most, seeing that Yongquan was so unhappy, he was so annoyed in his heart. It's just that because Cao Hao was in front of him, he patiently snorted twice.

Then he heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the housekeeper bowed down and came in to say that the messenger of the government had come to invite Seshtu back, and that the Tao was a guest from the house.

When Seshtu heard this, as if he had been pardoned, he hurriedly stood up and said to the people: "In this case, then you will talk slowly, and I will go first." ”

The Cao brothers were okay here, and they got up one after another. Yongquan's side was already panicked, and he stammered: "Grandpa Guo...... You ......"

Seshtu was afraid that he would be verbose again, so he clenched his fists and said, "Don't pass, don't pass." As he spoke, he turned around and strode out of the courtyard.

Cao Hao pondered for a moment and said to Cao Song: "Second brother, you accompany the general to sit less, and send the prince to the country for your brother." As he spoke, he followed Seshtu out.

After turning the shadow wall, Seshtu breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, and said to Cao Hao with a little apology: "Big brother, I really didn't mean to get involved in this matter, but Yongquan is too capable of grinding people, and there is no way to be pulled by him." ”

"This family business, anyway, it won't be done. The rumors were too ugly, and the second wife was already sick. It's good if the two families don't become enemies, what else does Yongquan want? Cao Hao shook his head and said.

When Seshtu heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "I want to come to Yongquan and I am also afraid in my heart, for fear of offending you, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about it, and I used my daughter to top my sister and continue to marry the Cao family." ”

"What?" Cao Hao sounded a little confused: "Use a girl to replace your sister-in-law?" No, looking at Yongquan's age, it's about the same as his brother-in-law. ”

Seshtu smiled bitterly and said, "Speaking of which, he is a year younger than me. It's just that he got married early, and his eldest daughter is older, and she is twelve years old this year. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, which was indeed ridiculous.

The two families already have the previous incident, even if they don't become enemies, they should stay away, and if they are full, they still want to continue to get married?

This Yongquan doesn't look like a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with such a ridiculous idea.

Seeing Cao Hao's expression, there was no accommodating intention at all, Seshtu swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach and said, "I don't know what kind of guest I am, and I still make people chase here." The eldest brother was busy first, and I went back first, and then I talked to the eldest brother. ”

Cao Hao nodded, remembered something, and asked, "On the other side of the Zongren Mansion, when will you go on an errand?" After all, you haven't made filial piety yet. ”

"What Prince Jian means is to fill in the gaps first, and there is no need to go over to be on an errand. The errands on the left and right sides are also idle, and when the new year is officially full, just go over to listen to the errand. Seshtu replied.

At this juncture, Cao Hao had to doubt Prince Jane's intentions. I'm afraid it's not good to call myself in vain and sell my personal favor to myself.

Out of the gate, Seshtu turned over his horse and went back to the house with his entourage.

After Cao Hao left, he turned around and entered the gate, already thinking about how to reject Yongquan's ridiculous proposal...... * Fangjia Hutong was not far from Cao's house, and Seshtu rode for two quarters of an hour before arriving at the door of the house.

He turned over and dismounted, and a porter came forward to lead the horse. Sestu, handing the whip over, asked, "What kind of guest is here?" ”

When the porter heard this, he couldn't help but be ignorant, and said, "Master, no one will come next morning." ”

Seshtu was still confused, and a housekeeper bent over and replied: "Master, it was Madame who heard that Master Yong took him away, and she was not at ease, so she made someone pass the word." ”

Seshtu nodded, entered the courtyard, and went to the inner house.

Cao Yi sat on the kang, hugged Shou'er, and taught him to unravel the nine links. Seeing her husband come back, Cao Yi put down her son, got up and said, "My lord is back......"

Shou'er was beside him, and he already said in a milky voice: "My son has seen Amma, please say hello to Amma." As he spoke, he flicked his little sleeves and saluted in style.

Seshtu answered, coaxing his son to gossip.

Cao Yi had a question, so he called ** to step forward and take Shou'er out to play.

"Yongquan came over for no reason, and he also pulled Ye over there, could it be that there is a change in family affairs?" Cao Yi pondered and asked.

"Yes, looking at Yongquan's empty appearance, I'm afraid that the rumors you heard before are true, and his sister is really a little inappropriate." Seshtu said: "Besides, the eldest brother is not a reckless person, if he hadn't found out, he wouldn't have made someone pass a letter to his relatives without a head." ”

When Cao Yi heard this, his face was already angry, and he gritted his silver teeth and said: "Bastard, since you know the details of your sister-in-law, you should stop looking for someone to marry, and dare to say goodbye to the Cao family?" Since my brother has left him with a face, he has come to pester you, which is really shameful. ”

Hearing this, Seshtu stroked his forehead and said, "I've also convinced him, I've never seen such a sticky." He just came, and I didn't hear it right, because he borrowed the excuse and didn't follow him. But he has a yellow belt, he kneels when he says he kneels, and he kowtows when he says kowtow, which is really unrecruiting. ”

"It's really shameless, he still refuses to quit his family? This is really too bad! Cao Yi said, really annoyed, and couldn't help but sigh: "I thought it was inappropriate at the beginning, but because it was the idea of the person, I didn't want to mix it up." If I knew that I would be in such a situation, it would have been better for me to pay more attention and ask more questions, and I would not be as tired as I am now. ”

Seshtu said that Yongquan wanted to use his daughter to continue to talk about his marriage, and Cao Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard it.

She pondered for a while and said, "Master, isn't there only one family left in this capital, what kind of medicine is sold in this Yongquan gourd, why are you still eyeing that one?" ”

"It's a long story, I've heard two sentences outside before, and I haven't told you because I don't have a beginning or an end. I heard that Yongquan had a Zhuangzi in Fangshan, and in June, because of the water canal, the steward of his family had a quarrel with others, and finally caused a fight, killing two people. Unexpectedly, the adjacent Zhuangzi was purchased by Prince Jian for the outer room. Yongquan knew, went to King Jian's mansion to plead guilty, and was turned away. Prince Jane's surname, there is nothing in the capital that you don't know. Although there is no seizure now, I will remember when I can't keep it. Yongquan was scared in his heart, so he thought about climbing over there. King Jian's Mansion succeeded Fujin and Pingjun Wang Fujin and you are old friends, and Prince Jian's relationship with his eldest brother is not bad, which is not a secret in Beijing. Seshtu replied.

If this is the case, Yongqing should not hide the scandal and get married. Where is this marriage, this is enmity. Cao Yi said: "I think it's beautiful, I think that my sister won't be a girl, so I will change my daughter, and the Cao family will be all clay people?" Besides, how old is he, how old can his daughter be, just thinking about kissing? ”

"It is said that it is the thirteenth year of the new year, so there is no need to give a marriage, and wait for the fourth brother to return to Beijing to get married again." Seshtu Road.

Cao Yi still shook his head and said: "What kind of person, it's like making up a story, is it not up to him to say everything in this world?" ”

"Not really." Seshtu said: "You haven't seen it, Yongquan's crying, I'm afraid that the eldest brother and the second brother haven't seen this ...... either."

* Cao's house, Dongfu, living room.

Yongquan no longer looked like a yellow belt master, knelt in front of Cao Song's seat, hugged Cao Song's thigh, and howled in his throat.

As the saying goes, it's not strange to have a lot of courtesy.

After Sestu's departure, without waiting for the Cao family brothers to speak, Yongquan bowed down and apologized without a word. The attitude is called a sincerity, with red eyes and a choked voice, starting from the early death of his father and pulling a few younger brothers and sisters, it is really affectionate.

Although he didn't directly defend his sister-in-law, he said ** greed outside the words, so he instigated his sister to roll up and follow him to escape from the country's mansion. Because I found it early, I didn't spend the night outside.

Cao Song also lost his father when he was a teenager, and there were many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and he was sad when he heard Yongquan's words, and his anger went a little bit.

Cao Hao, on the other hand, watched coldly and couldn't say what he thought in his heart.

Although Yongquan deliberately concealed the family secrets, his position was different, and Cao Hao had nothing to blame him. But understanding is understanding, and the mind of retreating has not changed at all.

He knew that Cao Song had always been soft-hearted, so he made up his mind more and more. No matter how fanciful Yongquan says, this family affair still has to be retreated.

Otherwise, when the bride enters the door in the future, there will be inappropriate places, and the Cao family's face will become bigger and bigger.

What do you want to continue to talk about, Cao Hao's side also feels inappropriate. With the surname of Zhaojia, he was angry in the front, can he still give the bride a good face in the future?

Home and everything is prosperous, and when the time comes, it will make the chickens and dogs jump, which is not enough to make trouble.

In the end, Yongquan really nodded and admitted the matter of retiring from his family, but there was a premise, that is, to replace his sister with his daughter-in-law, and to give the Cao family as his daughter-in-law.

Although Cao Song was a little soft-hearted, he also knew the severity, and his head shook like a rattle. Yongquan looked at Cao Hao, who also said that he "didn't dare to climb high" or something, and there was no room for consideration.

Yongquan was so anxious that tears had already come out. wanted to beg Cao Hao, but was stopped by a look from him, so he turned to Cao Song.

Cao Songshi didn't expect him to kneel when he said kneel, and he hurriedly got up to avoid it, but his legs were already held by Yongquan.

I really didn't expect Yongquan to be so disregarded about his identity, Cao Hao felt a headache, and hurriedly walked to the early door and sent the little guy outside far away.

Yongquan is not a high lord and his position is not obvious, but after all, he is a serious clan.

When the news of the Cao family's "kneeling and begging" spread, whether they knew the reason or not, it would seem that the Cao family was arrogant and rude.

After all, in the eyes of the world, Yongquan is a serious master, and the Cao family is the clothed slave who has been promoted for a few years.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao glanced at Yongquan coldly, but he didn't understand whether he was really a heartless surname, or if he deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid.

Cao Song looked at his rubbed placket that was rubbed out of shape, and looked at Yongquan crying so much that his snot came out, and he felt sick in his heart.

If you are held by a woman, you can feel more comfortable; Is it strange to be held by a man and not stand on top of his hair?

Cao Song couldn't hold on, looked at Cao Hao, and begged: "Brother...... Otherwise, or ......"

Seeing Cao Song loosen his mouth, Yongquan cried more and more, and Cao Hao had endured it to the limit.

He stood up and said, "Second brother, help the general up." ”

Cao Song responded, stretched out his hand, and wanted to stand up forever. Unexpectedly, Yongquan looked thin, and he still had two strengths, and he just refused to get up.

"Marriage events pay attention to the lives of parents and the words of matchmakers. The general also knows that above our brothers, there are two relatives, and it is not easy to be self-absorbed in everything. In the end, I have to ask the pro-elder what he means. Today, there will be no generals. Cao Hao endured his anger and said politely.

In the clan, there are many eyes above the top; It is rare to be able to put down the frame like Yongquan and do everything.

For some reason, at that moment, Cao Hao had an illusion.

It seems that the three-grade General Fengguo in front of him is a character, and it is best not to make enemies. Otherwise, with his ability to bend and stretch, he can't say when he will retaliate back. Therefore, Cao Hao's impatience is impatient, his mouth is still polite, and his face is not rude.

Cao Songzheng was helpless when he was hugged, listened to his brother's words, nodded hurriedly, and said, "That's the truth." General, please get up, don't embarrass our brother anymore. Anyway, the fourth child in my family is going to stay outside for three years, and I am not in a hurry to say goodbye, and I will talk about everything slowly. ”

When Yongquan heard this, he also knew that their brother was right.

Although it was their brother who came forward to withdraw from their relatives, it was the elderly in the family who were the ones who made the decision. His attitude was always humble, and he followed Cao Song to beg for two more words before he reluctantly got up.

Xu was kneeling for a long time, and his body stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, I was able to stand firm by holding on to the chair next to me.

His face was embarrassed, how could Cao Hao let him go out like this.

Who knows whose "eyes" and whose "ears" will be outside the gate? In the capital, where are the secrets?

Cao Hao whispered two words to Cao Song, asking him to call the little servant to bring clean water, and ask Yongquan to clean up simply, and then ask the housekeeper to send off the guests.

There were only two brothers left in the room, Cao Song looked at the tears on the corners of his clothes, trembled, and said, "Brother, I have never seen a man cry like this?" Looking at this style, it seems that if we don't want his daughter to be a daughter-in-law, he won't be able to live. ”

Finally quiet, Cao Hao sat in the chair, and also felt that he had grown into the world.

At this time, people pay attention to "men have gold under their knees", except for "heaven and earth", there is rarely a time to kneel.

It's just that it's not profitable to be early, and Yongquan is doing it like this, which shows that there is something strange in it, and this family thing is becoming more and more impossible to do.

Cao Song drank all the tea in the teacup, looked at Cao Hao, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother, ...... this family business?"

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "No." The second brother said to the second aunt to see what reason to refuse. ”

Cao Song nodded in response, looked at the tears on the corner of his clothes that had not yet dried, and said in a low voice: "Although it is a little sticky, it is not a bad person......

* Fuxiang Hutong, the residence of General Fengguo.

Seeing her husband come back, Shu Shujue Luo took two steps closer and asked anxiously, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Yongquan sat down on the kang, without any humility, his eyes were a little deeper, and said: "There is still some heat left, I can't say that I have to ask the third aunt to come forward to be a Huizhong again." ”

The third aunt in his mouth is the cousin of Zhaojia's family, and now she is married to Shu Shujue Luo's grandmother's family.

When Shu Shujue Luo heard this, he said, "Master, the third aunt and aunt sent their cronies over, and they were all complaining." I heard that the second wife of the Cao family was looking for her these days, so she hid outside the city......"

"The second wife of the Cao family is greedy for money, and the rent of other people's houses is two and a half or three percent, and the rent of her family's Zhuangzi is forty percent. I heard that she even owns her niece's dowry shop, and she is the most greedy for money. It should be almost the same as making people talk about it. Yongquan said with a deep groan.

In the end, it is his own flesh and blood, and he was still counting on it to be big, looking for an uncle who can hurt people, and he will take care of it in front of him for a lifetime, but he didn't expect to marry his aunt now.

Since ancient times, this has been a marriage match, and it is the man who asks the woman, and how can the woman ask the man. In this way, when the girl comes in, she does not know what kind of control she will be subjected to.

Thinking of this, Shu Shujue Luo's eyes couldn't help but redden, and said, "Master, is there no other way?" Hua'er is only twelve, and she is still a child......"

Yongquan smiled bitterly twice and said, "Who is Prince Jane?" That's the Lord who doesn't even care about the crown prince. In his eyes, I'm afraid it's not as good as the cats and dogs in front of him, and if he wants to clean up, it's just a matter of greeting...... Even if you don't clean me up now, when you think about it, find a mistake at will, and the title will be gone. When the time comes, will our family drink the northwest wind......"

* The east of the inner house crosses the courtyard, Yun Gege is dressed in clothes, sitting under the porch, his small face is thin and his palm is big, and his eyes are looking at the courtyard blankly.

In the yard, a few little girls are kicking shuttlecocks.

Yun Gege looked twice. Turning his head, he asked, "Hua'er, why don't you play with them?" ”

Next to her, sat a little girl in her teens. She has big eyes, red lips and white teeth, wears a half-worn light pink cheongsam, tilts her little head, and replied crisply: "Then there will be only one aunt left, how boring." Waiting for her aunt to get better, Hua'er will play with her aunt......"
