By the time Cao Hao changed his clothes and went to the Songyuan with Chu Yu to see Cao Shuo, Zhao Jiashi was already sitting on the edge of the kang, chattering with Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo half sat on the kang, lowered his head, listened honestly, and did not squeak.

Seeing Cao Hao and his wife enter the house, Zhao Jia's family closed his mouth.

Seeing that his cousin and sister-in-law were coming, Cao Shuo wanted to get off the kang to greet him, Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "Lie down quickly, it's all your own family, what are you doing with those false rites?" ”

When he said this, Cao Hao was also a little embarrassed in his heart.

In his early years, when he first came to this world, Cao Song was still a naughty child, and Cao Shuo was babbling. Now that the two brothers have grown into young men, Cao Hao really feels a little bit like a parent.

Cao Shuo sat on the kang and bowed, "Big brother, sister-in-law!" ”

Cao Songyuan sat on a chair on the ground, but now he stood up and gave up his seat to his brother and sister-in-law. Cao Hao sat down, and Chu Yu just stood to the side, listening to their brothers.

Cao Hao saw that Cao Shuo was better, and asked about the medicine diet.

Zhao Jia's was beside him, he had something to say, he glanced at Cao Shuo a few times, hesitated, and didn't speak after all.

Everyone sat here for a while, and when the maid brought medicine to Cao Shuo, they all came out.

Out of the Song Courtyard, Zhao Jiashi turned to Cao Hao and Chu Yu and said, "You are my brother and sister-in-law, and I happen to have something to discuss with you." My nephew and daughter-in-law are afraid that they will be tired and tired. ”

Cao Hao and Chu Yu glanced at each other, but they didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Jia's words. It's just that they don't ask too much on the way, so the two of them responded and accompanied Zhao Jia's to the Peony Courtyard.

After sitting on the kang, Zhao Jiashi ordered Cao Hao to sit with Chu Yu, and then looked at Cao Song and said, "Which girl do you look at, you should also talk to us today." If the family is equal, please ask your sister-in-law to help you look at each other! ”

Cao Song was also prepared to say it today, but the door was a little difficult to phrase, so he said: "It is a side branch of the Wenshun Mansion, and she was a guard in the palace before her death." ”

It's okay in front, who doesn't know that Dong E's docile duke is a big family, and most of the girls from his family are going to be drafted, and they are kept in the palace to marry the princes and grandchildren of the same clan; Hearing this sentence at the back, Zhao Jiashi frowned a little and asked, "Since there is no father, what rank and title is the grandfather?" Or do you follow your uncle and uncle? ”

Cao Song bowed his head and said: "Follow her uncle, her uncle was the governor outside earlier, and now he is honored!" ”

"Miss Nephew of the Governor's Palace!" Zhao Jiashi pondered for a while, turned his head and asked Cao Hao and Chu Yu: "You are your brother and sister-in-law, and you have to work hard and worry a lot, help inquire about your appearance." If the girl's tutoring is good, she will have to ask her nephew and daughter-in-law to help her look at each other. ”

Cao Hao and Chu Yu heard Zhao Jia's words like this, although they felt that it was a little inappropriate, but Cao Song begged with his eyes on the side, and the two of them didn't have much to say, so they responded vaguely.

Although Zhao Jia's family has been thinking about her son's family affairs a lot over the past year, she is also a little unsure of her heart.

At this time, when marrying, pay attention to "high out and low in", the daughter-in-law should marry the lowest, and the girl should marry the highest. Although Zhao Jia's family said that he was looking for a good family for his sons, which was a help, he was also afraid that he would be old and old, and he would have to look at his daughter-in-law's eyes.

If that's the case, how can the Zhaojia clan, who has been so strong all his life, stand it?

When everyone went out, Zhao Jiashi let Lu Ju fill a cigarette, took a puff, and sighed to Lu Ju: "It would be nice if the master was here, why should I worry about this?" It's good that the eldest lord and the eldest lady are in Beijing, and they can finally discuss. ”

Lu Ju responded: "The uncle and the grandmother have always loved the second master, and they will also help them, so the wife can rest assured!" ”

Zhao Jiashi took a sip and said, "It's not just for your second master, hey......"

*Sycamore Garden, upper room.

Cao Song stood with a little pleading, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, just help my brother with this!" ”

Cao Hao frowned, not knowing what to say for a while.

Although I also thought about helping Jinghui find a good relative to adopt and take care of her, and then talk about family affairs, but because it is related to Jinghui and Cao Song's life, it is not reckless, so I thought about finding a more appropriate explanation.

Cao Song's side, however, seemed to know the weakness of the Zhaojia clan, and smashed down the two big hats of "side branch of the public mansion" and "niece of the governor", so that the Zhaojia clan had nothing to say.

It's just that this marriage event is not a one-time event.

After all, if the family affair is completed, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along in the future, if the Zhaojia family is to blame, it will be Jinghui who suffers.

Cao Song saw that his brother didn't respond, and he was so anxious that tears came out.

In the end, he was too old to scold or beat, Cao Hao also had a headache, and said: "In the future, do you want your daughter-in-law to suffer, or do you want to disobey your mother." I've never heard of anyone marrying a daughter-in-law blindfolded by their parents! What do you think? said that the door was so high, the greater the expectations of the second aunt, the more disappointed she would be in the future. It's better to talk about a family that doesn't slip away, if we entrust someone, it's easy to take care of it. ”

Cao Song said with a little pity: "Mother has been talking about my cousin for a long time, and my younger brother is afraid that this side will be too low, which will make my mother feel inferior to that." ”

On the other side of the mansion, the fifth generation grandson of the docile Duke He Li is the fifth generation grandson, speaking of which is Jinghui's cousin, and he has no contact with the Cao family.

It's okay if it is changed to another family, and I ask someone to say it, but it is just a name for my in-laws. The Cao family is the earl's palace, and Cao Yin's father and son are both ministers of the Son of Heaven, and most people will be willing to marry the Cao family.

On the side of the Wenshun Mansion, he was close to the Eighth Elder Brother and the Ninth Elder Brother, which Cao Hao was afraid to avoid.

Other people's families, but it depends on Yi Duli or Fu Nai's side. It's not difficult to get married, but it's not easy to get married.

Cao Hao was really impatient and worried about these things, and glared at Cao Song. He also hesitated in his heart, thinking about helping Cao Song, but he was afraid that Cao Song would not have a long surname and delay Jinghui.

However, when he saw the purse resting on the coffee table, Cao Hao remembered the beads sent by Jue Luo. He took out the bracelet from his purse, handed it to Chu Yu and said, "This is the old lady's gift to Tianhui, saying that it has been opened, see if it is hung on the cradle!" ”

Chu Yu took it, saw that it was an antiquity, and said, "This ...... Isn't it too precious, over there, didn't I hear that it is not spacious? ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "There's no way, the old man insists on giving it, and he can't push it." This string of beads, exchanged for silver, can be placed outside the city for two days. We can't take it in vain, just think of a return gift that can make a difference! ”

Chu Yu put it away and said, "It's hard to think about it, there are only two of them left, and they are helpless." I'm afraid that in the hearts of the old people, I can't rest assured, and it's also the family affair of the quiet girl. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he remembered that Jing Hui had always given people the impression of being weak and well-behaved, and glanced at Cao Song and said, "What does Jing girl say, but she can look down on you?" ”

Cao Song touched the back of his head and muttered, "She said that she is a civilian girl and is not worthy of me." ”

Chu Yu looked at the beads in his hand, thinking about Jing Hui's kindness, his heart softened, and he said with a smile: "It's just to get in the way of a reputation and find a maiden home." Although the Jing girl's family is not as good as before, there are many relatives. Maybe their forces will alienate the old man from Jinghui, if we make someone say it, for the sake of the affection in the house here, there will be no one who will not follow. In the end, he looked at Cao Hao and said, "Isn't it, forehead?" ”

This is thinking of going with Cao Hao, but Cao Hao is not afraid that he will not be able to find a place for Jinghui to marry, but he is worried that his younger brother will spoil other girls.

He glanced at Cao Song, but he really said that Cao Song was too childlike, which made people feel at ease.

Cao Song saw that his sister-in-law's tone was relaxed. There was already joy on his face, and he was glanced at by his brother, and then took it back, muttering, "Brother......"

Cao Hao had a bit of a positive color on his face, and said: "Let me tell you, Xiao Er, no one can indulge you all the time, since you asked for it like this, you have to cherish the blessings......"

* Jiangning, Weaving Mansion, Kaiyang Courtyard arrived to eat the late effort, Cao Yin and his nephew Cao Fu came back together.

On the kang outside, there are already big bags and small bags, all of which are used by Tianyou. Tianyou is sitting on the kang head, lying on the kang table, fiddling with the tangram.

When he saw his grandfather and uncle returning, the little one put down the tangram in his hand and stretched out his arm to hug it.

Cao Yin stepped forward and took it into his arms, raised it high, and said, "What have you done today, do you miss your grandfather?" ”

Tianyou "giggled", opened his mouth, showed a mouthful of small white teeth, and said in a milky voice: "I went to the warehouse with my grandmother to hide the cat, and I want to call my grandfather to go with the fifth uncle, it's fun." ”

Cao Yin was puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Li in confusion.

Li said: "There are a lot of gold and silver utensils in the treasury, which are not needed, and I want to ask someone to transport them to the capital together. ”

Seeing his uncle and aunt talking, Cao Fu stepped forward, took Tianyou over, and carried him to the kang to play.

Cao Yin listened to Li's words, nodded, and said, "Well, the things here are going to be ordered." I have already written a resignation excerpt, if I get the grace of Long Live Lord, I hope I will be able to return to Beijing to retire at the end of the year! ”

Li Shi also thought that he had listened to the errand, and he was speechless in a daze.

Cao Fu was beside him, already showing a little joy, and said, "Uncle, are we going to Beijing?" ”

Cao Yin nodded lovingly and said, "Yes, you also miss your mother and brother, right?" ”

Cao Fu said: "I think about it, but my nephew also knows that my uncle is worried about my eldest brother and sister-in-law." In this way, the aunt will not have to wipe her tears in the future! ”

Li Shi saved himself at this time, his eyes were already red, but he was embarrassed to shed tears in front of the children. She trembled her lips and said, "Master." It's true, are we really going to Beijing? ”

Cao Yin hugged his fists to the north and said, "This, it also depends on the grace of the Long Live Lord." It's just that I don't want to go, and I pleaded three times and twice in the excerpt. Long live Lord is the most benevolent, and he will definitely be gracious if he wants to come. ”

Li Shi was overjoyed, and his tears couldn't stop flowing, and he said, "If this is the case, it is really a great good." can go to his son and daughter-in-law, and coax his granddaughter for two years, and he won't ask for much in the second half of his life! ”

Tianyou sat on the edge of the kang, looked at the elders so happy, and raised his little head and asked, "When you enter Beijing, do you go to your father's side?" Isn't it a lot of food? ”

Hearing this child's words, Cao Yin and Li couldn't laugh or cry.

Cao Fu touched Tianyou's little head and said, "It's in vain that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are so worried about you, the moon makes people come, but you only remember to eat." ”

Tianyou took Cao Fu's hand and begged: "Fifth uncle, let's pull a big base!" ”

Cao Fu was so entangled that he couldn't do anything, so he had to sit on the edge of the kang, lean sideways, hold hands with Tianyou, and play with him.

"Pull the big saw, pull the big saw. Run the big horse and sing the big show.

Please daughter-in-law, son-in-law, mother-in-law live for two.

All the daughters of the family have come, but the daughters of my family have not yet come......"

While waiting for Cao Yin to change clothes, Li made someone set the meal, and said: "It's good to live in Beijing, but it's not cheap to visit your mother in the future." Calculate the word, the daughter left by Ding'er in the concubine room in the capital should be out of the full moon, and the last time I wrote to say that my mother was taking care of her. Although the old man is rare and has children, in the end, it is not easy to treat the child, and I am afraid that she will be tired, which is really unreassuring......"

* Suzhou, weaving house, inner house.

Gao sat on the kang, humming a lullaby in his mouth, gently leisurely cradle, looking at the baby in swaddling clothes, his face full of love.

When he saw that the baby closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep, Gao stopped the sound and called his mother-in-law to carry the cradle to the warm pavilion.

Now, Li Xu's wife has died of illness, and the old lady of the Wen family is old again, and the inner house is taken care of by Li Nai's wife, Sun. Although the Sun family is virtuous, the housework is only mediocre, and this big mansion is a little difficult to manage.

Besides, she is a daughter-in-law, and although there is no mother-in-law in the inner house, there are many concubines of the mother-in-law and Li Xu. Sometimes, she is not easy to talk to as a junior. Therefore, she begged Gao Taijun to help.

Gao Taijun is old, and he is already a rare child, and he pities the posthumous daughter left by his nephew Li Ding in every way......
