Chapter 1345: Seeing Each Other (Part II)
was praised by the elders in person, Tianhui could only bow her head and make a shy appearance. In fact, she was quite surprised.
She had heard some things about the university scholars' mansion from her mother, and she thought that he, the old lady in charge of the family, was a powerful surname, so she would govern her concubine and daughter-in-law well; Outside of the visible, I found that the old man was kind and gentle.
Look at the bright moon girl who follows him again, dignified and beautiful, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and is amiable to look at.
Thinking of Mingyue's outfit and the mention of Mingyue in the third aunt's post, Tianhui knew in her heart that this should be a filial piety, otherwise she would not go out with her grandmother. 's third aunt won't take the liberty of posting.
Except for filial piety...... Look at each other, and then ...... Tianhui couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she was a little uneasy, and she seemed to be relieved.
Since she got married, she has also thought about what her future husband's family will be like and what kind of life she will live in the future.
has her parents to rely on, she is not worried about the hard work of her son after marriage, but her surname is lazy, she likes to be quiet and does not like to move, and she is unwilling to change too much.
Since marriage is necessary, she still hopes that her husband's family will not be too different from her own life, otherwise it will be more troublesome.
It doesn't matter if the kindness of his Tara clan is a mask for a guest or his own surname. Just looking at how she raised her granddaughter so decently, she couldn't do anything wrong.
When Tianhui thought of this, her heart became more steady, and her expression became more and more calm...... As Cao Jia's identity, there is no need to go out.
Therefore, when everyone was introduced into the flower hall by Cao Yi, they had to meet again.
Although he has only met him a few times, he is not very familiar with each other, but he can be familiar with Cao Jia's level of receiving people and things, and he is already familiar with it in a few words.
As the proprietor, Cao Yi has to arrange flower viewing and banquets. Because the Tatara clan has arrived, he has to go to the nearby general's mansion to invite his mother-in-law, the Hitara clan.
Even if you know that most of the Hitara clan will not come, you still have to go and respectfully invite you.
Seeing that the eldest sister greeted him, she invited Mrs. Shizi to take a few girls to have tea next to her.
Mrs. Shizi is her niece and daughter-in-law, Tianhui is her niece, Gui Yuan is her niece, it is Mingyue, and she is also called "cousin niece", but there are no outsiders.
Cao Yi didn't have anything to worry about, and he and the Tara clan and others confessed their crimes, and went to the general's mansion next door.
Although Cao Yi didn't say it explicitly, most of the people present guessed where she went.
The housework of the Guogong Mansion, others are not good at what to say, Yurui Gege is the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, but there is no need to scruple too much, Tong Chuyu whispered: "Auntie is also too careful, my brother is the only son of my aunt, inherited the incense from Amma's side, and I have not forgotten the truth of giving birth, and there is nothing wrong with giving birth to my mother." It's good to be next to ...... It's nothing cheap, it's just hard work sister-in-law......"
When Cao Yi and Seshtu inherited the couple, Yurui was only twelve years old, and the little girl lost her father and mother, and she was pitiful.
At the beginning, I looked at my brother and sister-in-law very unpleasantly, but after seeing people's hearts for a long time, Cao Yi is a patient person, and my sister-in-law has been getting along for a few years, but they are very harmonious.
is Yurui's surname, and it has also been taught by Cao Yi to be much more restrained.
Although there are many cousins on her mother's side, Yurui has seen their shameless faces before and after the death of the old father, where can they still get close.
Therefore, whether Yurui is before or after marriage, she is only close to her brother and sister-in-law's family, and she really has a bit of flesh and blood.
For this reason, she and Chu Yu have also met a few times, and the two are quite familiar with each other.
Chu Yu listened with a smile, bowed his head and said nothing, but admired the Hitara clan in his heart.
If you are an ordinary old lady, I am afraid that she would have entered the Guogong Mansion with her son and daughter-in-law to enjoy the blessings, after all, there are no other elders in the Guogong Mansion, and the biggest master is the old lady's own son. Even if the old lady is powerful, as long as she has her son's support, what can others do if they are blushing and talking?
But in that case, in the end, it is still Seshtu who is embarrassed.
Human favor is human affection, etiquette is etiquette, and since he inherits his ancestry, Seshtu is not the son of an old lady. The old lady is just an aunt in the next room, not among the "eight mothers".
Judging from Chu Yu, the sister-in-law is afraid that she has gone this way in vain.
Sure enough, after two quarters of an hour, Cao Yi came back and made amends with him, saying that the old lady was close to vegetarianism, so he would not come to eat and drink, and also passed on the old lady's words, asking him not to leave in a hurry after dinner, and to go and sit.
He responded with a smile, and everyone went out of the living room and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
The garden of the Guogong Mansion is not big, but it is better than the layout is exquisite and small, the lake stone rockery is a tower, and there are all kinds of colors.
The peony garden is in a corner of the garden, more than a dozen peonies, purple and red, blooming in full bloom, it is rare to be two black peonies, extraordinarily enchanting.
Today, although "flower appreciation" is from the beginning, it is still necessary to walk around.
Pingwangfu has its own garden, and the peonies here are more handy, or branched from the palace, and it is certainly not unusual for Cao Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to look at it.
On the side of Chu Yu and Tianhui, the Caojia Haidian Garden also made people plant a peony garden.
The ladies and relatives strolled among the flowers, more to enjoy people.
The ladies of the Cao family, in addition to paying attention to the Tatara clan, are also observing the bright moon.
Girls are different from men, and men move out of the house when they are older, and are more influenced by the male surname and the teacher; Girls are raised in the inner house, whether it is "close to Zhu is red" or "close to ink is black", it can more or less reflect the family education of the elders.
But the more I looked at it, the more satisfied I became, especially Cao Jiashi, who felt that Mingyue was generous, and had her own style before leaving the cabinet, took her hand, and asked a few words affectionately about her usual leisure preferences and so on.
Although she is the eldest granddaughter of the university scholar's mansion, but in the end she is a flag girl, Mingyue did not say anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., only said that in addition to accompanying her grandmother to worship the Buddha, she is also learning from the girl.
Seeing her so supple, she was someone else, and most of the answers were believed after hearing this.
But Chu Yu and Cao Jia's family both know the details of the university scholar's mansion, and nominally he is still in charge of the Tala family, but in fact, Mingyue, Miss Sun, is handling housework.
It's a good thing for a woman to be capable, but it's not good if she's too clever and strong.
The bright moon is square inside and round outside, which is both capable, restrained and not ostentatious, and it is very easy to make people feel good.
Chu Yu and Cao Jiashi glanced at each other, and glanced at him in unison, somewhat understanding the old lady's character.
Shrewd, capable, and peaceful, having such a mother-in-law to teach for a few years is only good for Tianhui.
The sister-in-law is a measured person again, and there is nothing to worry about in the inner house of the university scholar's mansion. As for the uncles and aunts who have not yet been separated, the limitations of their identities do not hinder the eldest room.
Yurui, a little embarrassed, looked for an opportunity to pull Cao Yi a few steps behind, and the two sisters-in-law whispered.
"Sister-in-law, is it mine, I'm too anxious, and I have traces in the end......" Yurui said in a low voice with a little uneasiness.
She is not a foolish person, she used to only treat it as an ordinary family banquet, because she knew that the eldest lady of the Cao family would come, so she treated her solemnly; When I got here, I found that I had another purpose. In this way, it is rude for her to dress up her daughter carefully.
Fortunately, Gui Yuan is still young, so there will be no misunderstanding, but in the end, he is presumptuous.
Cao Yi said softly: "Even if my sister-in-law sees something, I won't blame you." It's just that I feel sorry for my daughter...... My sister-in-law is also a woman who has a daughter...... It's just that Sister Gui is only eleven, and she is less than the age of next year's general election, so she can only participate in the next one, and there are still four years, so my sister doesn't have to be too anxious......"
When Yurui heard this, he couldn't help but redden, and said, "How can you not be in a hurry?" Seeing that Guiyuan's fortune is getting better and better, among the sisters of her generation, there are already elders in the clan who have begun to pay attention, and two families have persuaded us to ask for parenting...... They want to climb rich, where can I give up longan...... In the identity of our lord, even if longan refers to the clan, it is also a side concubine...... If you stay in the palace, your status will be even lower, and you don't know how hard to endure......"
Cao Yi listened, thought for a while, and said: "Although the marriage of the banner people does not pay much attention to seniority, but my mother's family mostly practices Han etiquette, and I don't know what my brother and sister-in-law plan to do; You can't go past the old lady...... I can only help my sister find out a thing or two, whether I can talk, it's hard to say...... But even if it is, it is not easy to pick up the brand during the draft with the color of the niece......"
When Yurui heard this, he frowned and said, "What else can I do besides being sick?" It's better than being a concubine and a woman......"
In the end, he was in his prime, and he couldn't stand it after walking half a circle in the garden.
The younger generation of girls, even if they don't think this peony is strange, can add freshness to the garden.
Cao Yi asked Mrs. Shizi to entertain a few girls on his behalf, and the others accompanied him to the Tara transfer parlor...... Household Department, Shangshu Office.
Although Cao Hao works as usual, he can't worry about his wife and daughter.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, whether the old lady of the university scholar's mansion gets along well or not, you have to see it from your family.
For a moment of carelessness, his expression was a little apprehensive, and his efficiency slowed down.
Just as Jiang Jian came in to deliver the papers, seeing Cao Hao like this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, are you worried about the water situation in Jiangnan?" ”
When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Yes, although there is no drought in Zhili this spring, news came from the south of the Yangtze River that the rainfall was twice that of last year.
The last year of such heavy rain was a flooding year.
Although it has not been long since the beginning of summer this year, the signs are not good.
The water level in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is on the high side, and if we do not do a good job of flood prevention before the rainy season arrives, if the flood really occurs, it will be difficult for the people's livelihood on both sides of the river to be stable.
Li Wei was only the governor of Zhejiang, but in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there were still the governors of Huguang and Liangjiang.
Yongzheng is not an exaggerated emperor, he has always attached more importance to people's livelihood, and in the past two years, it has been the reform of "spreading the land into the mu" and "the gentry paying grain in one" across the country, so he pays special attention to the dynamics of Jiangnan.
If Jiangnan suffers a flood, the grain money will only be reduced, and the two new policies will inevitably be interrupted, which he can't bear.
Therefore, he attached great importance to Li Wei's excerpts, in addition to exempting the money and grain of several governments in the south of the Yangtze River, and urging the local government to repair dams for flood control; He also specially allocated a sum of money from the household department and sent it to Jiangnan, and ordered Li Wei to supervise the matter, just because he was afraid that someone would not open his eyes and stretch out his hand on the flood control silver, delaying the major event.
Cao Hao didn't speak, and in Jiang Jian's eyes, he was even more worried about the country and the people, and comforted: "The rain and snow are drought, and the climate is changing, which cannot be reversed by manpower. Since Master Li is in charge of this matter, it will definitely not be ambiguous, and you don't need to worry too much......"
Cao Hao nodded and said, "What Fei Fei said is that I am worried about the sky......
He didn't have a moving expression on his face, but looking at Jiang Jian, who looked thin, he only felt that his ears were hot.
The reason why he lived a leisurely life was because of Jiang Jian, a staff member who wholeheartedly helped manage government affairs.
If he didn't really have the heart to worry about the country and the people, Jiang Jian would not give up fame and fortune, and willingly stayed in Caofu and worked as an obscure six-document ...... Even if it is not for the sake of others, just to not let Jiang Jian regret and be disappointed, he should also take care of his family affairs and do his best for the country and the people seriously......
