Chapter 1030: Sweet Dates
Cao Hao could see that Nersu's mood was excellent.
Seeing that his brother-in-law was looking at him with concern, and knew that he was worried about himself, Nersu told the details of the imperial front. It turned out that he was not only reprimanded, but also fined half a year.
The most common crime is the accommodation of women in the army. After all, the topic of the fourteenth elder brother is relatively obscure, and the emperor will not wait to see this younger brother, and he will not announce it to the world.
Cao Hao saw that Nersu was speaking with pride, and there was no shame after being punished, and said strangely: "Could it be that there is a later text?" ”
Nersu nodded and said, "Exactly, the emperor scolded me, and then rewarded me with two first-class royal horses." ”
The royal horse, with a price but no market, represents the favor and favor of the emperor, and the price is comparable to the half year of the penalty.
Cao Hao listened to it, and his heart was clear, this is a slap in the face, a sweet date, and a heart to appease and woo. This is the best outcome compared to disgust and suspicion.
In Yongzheng's eyes, Nersu is his own person so far.
In fact, half of Nersu's joy is sincere, half is deliberate, but he doesn't want his brother-in-law to worry about himself anymore.
This time the emperor's frankness certainly exempted the emperor's suspicion, but it exposed the whereabouts of the Wu family, which can be regarded as completely offending the fourteenth elder brother. The fourteenth elder brother is not terrible, but the empress dowager above is extremely protective of the short-term ......* In the blink of an eye, on March 25, there are still two days before the emperor of Daxing is introduced.
The brothers Cao Hao and Cao Song already have a letter of approval, and they will be buried with Hu. Chu Yu's side also arranged everything for going out.
After Chu Yu discussed with the Li family, he sent someone to Dongfu to invite Zhaojia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come over.
There are many people in the house, and they really don't feel at ease to hand over the thirteen-year-old Niuniu and the ten-year-old Tianhui, so they want to invite Cao Fu and Su Xin to come over and sit in the town for a few days.
Zhao Jiashi listened, but he was unwilling: "There are many capable people around my nephew and daughter-in-law, where is the turn of Dong's ability?" ”
She was not happy that the Li family crossed her, even if there was no one in Xifu, she should be entrusted to her as a housekeeper.
Li has been a concubine with her all her life, and she doesn't understand her careful eyes, and said: "Thick-skinned nephews and nephews' daughters-in-law, isn't it for God's blessing?" Your eldest nephew is going to be out this year. Pitiful, he Lao Tzu is not in front of him, and he is taught by Xiao Wu for a few days, which also saves him the stage fright of his children's family. Who doesn't know that Primary 5 has the best homework? ”
Although Zhao Jia's family loves to be critical of Cao Hao and his wife, he really loves Tianyou. In these words, she also praised Cao Fu, she was only happy, and said: "If you have more children, let it end?" But he was a few years younger than his uncles who ended up in the past. "I actually allowed Cao Fu and his wife to come over to help.
Chu Yu saw that the matter was settled, so he found an excuse, took Jinghui and Su Xin to withdraw, and went to Wutong Garden to have tea.
said that he invited Cao Fu and his wife, but in fact, he was still not at ease in the house. After all, the old is old, the little is small, and there is a big family.
Before this, Chu Yu had already mentioned it to Su Xin in private. It's just that I need the approval of the Zhaojia family, and now I will be in front of the Li family again.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Tianhui and Niuniu sitting at the kang table, their heads touching and not knowing what they were doing.
Hearing the sound of someone coming in, the two turned around together, and when they saw that they were coming, they hurriedly got up to see it.
Su Xin didn't see Niuniu for a while, looking at her black braids, pink and white face, slender figure, and already a girl, she couldn't help but look at it twice.
Jing Hui saw the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the kang table, and said with a smile: "Aunt and nephew, are you painting?" ”
Tianhui pursed her lips and smiled, and Niuniu said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, you are thinking about how to decorate the eldest girl's room." ”
When everyone heard this, they had to ask a few questions.
Jing Hui and Su Xin are already thinking about what gifts to prepare.
Chu Yu thought that her daughter was going to move out of Wutong Garden, and she was a little reluctant, but the girl was already ten years old, and there were people waiting for her around, so it was not good to be crowded together.
Jinghui looked at the list listed by Tianhui, from furniture and furnishings to teacups and bowls, all of which were complete in one color, and they were extremely handsome. She sighed secretly when she thought of her two daughters, who were still full of childishness.
Thinking that the fourth sister and the fifth son are now being detained to learn the rules, my two daughters are afraid that they will not be spared. Although it is said to endure hardship, it is also the only way for women.
How many are as carefree as Tianhui?
Su Xin sat under Jinghui, took her hand, also glanced at it a few times, and said to Chu Yu with a smile: "The two aunts and nephews didn't even forget to write down the abacus, it seems that they learned the skills of housekeeping with their sister-in-law." ”
Chu Yu said with a smile: "These two little demon stars are fresh, and they want to come out of one and come up with several methods, saying that they want to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but most of them are not the same." I was annoyed by the two of them, so I sent them to clean up the yard errand and let them clean up by themselves. If it's cleaned up, then talk about the rest. ”
Jing Hui was curious: "What way?" ”
"A few days ago, I taught them to recognize the material of their clothes, and they got a lot of rulers. When the sisters were idle, they learned to make little clothes for Tempo. The rest of the corners and corners of the corners, which I wanted to throw, were seen by the mother-in-law and said that I would do it. They were surprised, and they had to take a look at it to know that they were used for insoles and soles. The two sisters were thinking about opening a shoe store. Because there are many maids and wives in this inner house, and the errands are light, finding an errand for them can also earn some pocket money. Chu Yu said.
Tianhui has such parents, where is the lack of silver; Even Niuniu, although she was born by her aunt and had no parental protection, she had already prepared a dowry under the protection of the Cao family.
The aunt and nephew are thinking about opening a store, but they have heard too much about Cao Hao's wealth, and they just want to try it.
Jinghui listened, only envious, thinking of her daughter, she wanted her daughter to learn some more, but she couldn't open her mouth, saying this at this time, it seemed that she was taking advantage of Tianhui and Niuniu.
I heard Chu Yu say: "These two little devils, it's not enough to toss by yourself, and I still want to think about pulling the second girl and the third girl into the gang." ”
Why is that? The two in my family are full of childishness, but they are not as sensible as Shuping and Tianhui. Jing Hui said.
Chu Yu said with a smile: "It's not like he learned from his father, saying that he didn't need to work the second and third girls, and he wanted to give their little sisters dividends to buy snacks to eat......"
Between the jokes, a maid came over to spread the word that the Lanyuan was going to have a meal, and Chu Yu brought two concubines over to wait for him.
Tianhui put away the things on the kang table and said to Niuniu: "Auntie, my mother agreed to let us open a store, didn't she say no a few days ago?" ”
"Sister-in-law is afraid that we will have a whim, and we will not have a permanent surname, and we will have to hurt the housekeepers in vain. Seeing that we all made plans and prepared all the capital to open the store, my sister-in-law knew that we were serious and would agree. Niu Niu said.
Tianhui thought for a while and said, "If only it could be like my mother's Daoxiang Village, it would be nice to open ten stores." ”
Niuniu waved her hand and said, "Don't think about it." Whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, they all love to eat gluttony. The things in Daoxiang Village are both decent and inexpensive, even if ordinary people visit relatives and friends, they can buy half a pack. The shoe store we want to do is sell court boots, and there are always a number of officials in the capital. ”
Tianhui was still thinking about whether she needed to open another shop to sell women's shoes, but then she thought about it, and few of the female relatives of the official eunuchs bought outside shoes, so she extinguished this idea......* That night, Cao Hao also heard about Niuniu and her daughter's "money-making plan", and couldn't help but wonder: "How can you think of official boots?" There are many shoe stores in the capital, but there are not many that specialize in official boots. ”
"At first, I wanted to buy shoes, but I was persuaded by Mama Zhang. Ordinary people make their own shoes; There are large families, and there are needle and thread people. Only official boots are bought from outside. Chu Yu said.
In Cao Hao's mind, he remembered the mantra of the old Yanjing man in later generations, "Gather the source with a horse, step on the inline rising, wear eight auspicious things, and wrap the four great constants around the waist", and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that our family is going to have a time-honored brand again!" ”
Chu Yu only spoiled her daughter and said, "It's all yours." Thinking of his daughter's serious appearance, he also smiled and said: "But with all my heart, I took out all the monthly silver and pocket money I saved, and discussed with me, if it is not enough, can I borrow it from my brothers." ”
Cao Hao also wanted to see how far Niuniu and Tianhui could go, and said, "Let's just watch, let the two little ones make up their minds." Not to mention anything else, the boot master has to find a professional, which is not something that can be done in one sentence. ”
This point coincides with Chu Yu, the husband and wife talked about it, but they didn't mention it.
Because the funeral is said to get up early, so the next time, Chu Yu invited Su Xin to come over, met the housekeeper lady of Xifu, and handed over the pair of cards to Su Xin.
In order to make the two of them stay cheap, Chu Yu also made a special trip to clean up the yard where Cao Fu used to live for Su Xin.
When no one was around, Chu Yu said his scruples.
Su Xin only understood at this time that Chu Yu invited himself over, not because he was worried that there were no adults in the house and that the subordinates would snub the little master, but because he was on guard against the Gao family and the Li family.
"Sister-in-law, the old lady's ......" Su Xin was very embarrassed, and already regretted taking this matter, after all, the Li family is the mother of the Li family and the uncle of Xifu. If someone really comes to the door, can they still turn them away?
"This is what our old lady meant, in the end, she is a serious relative, and she will help if she should help, but she can't mix it at this time. Now in the case, our family was also in the weaving in the early years, and if you are not careful, you will be bitten into, so you must be more careful. Chu Yu said.
Su Xin looked at Chu Yu carefully, saw that she spoke frankly, and thought that she would not hide Li's self-determination in major matters, so she finally nodded and responded...... On March 27, Cao Hao and Chu Yu got up at one o'clock in the morning.
Although he is out of the house, because the Li family's team has to follow the princess team, it is not too simple to be despised. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought eight maids and four mothers-in-law, and used eight cars before and after carrying things.
On Cao Hao's side, after leaving Beijing, he had to accompany the officials of the six departments. On the Li family and Chu Yu's side, they arranged for Cao Yuan and Zhang Yi to follow with their long entourage and small servants.
As soon as they left the mansion, the brothers Cao Song and Cao Fu came, and after seeing Li and Chu Yu, they rode side by side with Cao Hao and escorted the convoy to Jingshan......
