Although he had a good impression of the Shuhed in front of him, it was not a place to talk outside Fucha's house.

After a salute, Shu He knew the ceremony and retired.

Cao Hao took Tianyou, followed Fu Qing, and entered Fucha Mansion.

There were still red firecracker confetti in the floor in the front yard, and the smell of fireworks in the air seemed to linger.

But the small servants standing on both sides of the road were silent when they walked, and they were a little more careful, and there was silence in the huge mansion.

Cao Hao squinted, and followed Fu Qing into the living room to serve tea, but he didn't mention anything uninterestingly to "visit" Li Rongbao's sickbed in person.

Although the two families have interacted, they have not yet reached that point.

Seeing this, Fu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As Cao Hao, he personally explored the disease, if he really asked to see Li Rongbao, he would be really embarrassed to be a son.

Compared with the previous days, Fu Qingqing has lost a lot, his face is also a little dark, and his eyes are gray, and it is difficult to hide his exhaustion.

But when he received people and entertained guests, he did not show any anxiety at all, and he was steady.

Cao Hao nodded secretly in his heart.

He doesn't like frivolous people with surnames, and people like Fu Qing are old and silent, but they are right about his surname. It is not without reason that the Fucha family has been able to prosper for five generations and have been beautiful for more than 100 years.

Tianyou felt that Fu Qing was too stereotypical and boring, and this Fu Qing's face was too "old-fashioned". Perhaps because of Li Rongbao's experience in the outside of the city for a few years, the twenty-two-year-old Fu Qing looks slightly older than his actual age.

He absolutely did not admit that he faintly envied Fu Qing's "old age". Both of them are eldest brothers, and Fu Qing looks more reliable and majestic than him.

Cao Hao came to show his attitude.

Naturally, he didn't mention the marriage, but just asked a few words about Li Rongbao's illness, and exhorted Fu Qing a few more words, and Cao Hao excused himself from Fucha Mansion.

Fu Qing personally sent out the gate, and watched the Cao family's father and son ride away before turning around and returning home.

The pace was fast, and in the surprised eyes of the subordinates and the little servants, he ran to the living room.

In the living room, there was already an old man in blue, standing in front of a few cases, holding the brocade gift box brought by Cao Hao.

The brocade box had been opened, and inside was a ginseng the size of a child's arm.

Fu Qing showed a little surprise on his face: "The second uncle didn't expect it badly, Cao Shangshu came to visit, and what he sent was indeed ginseng!" ”

The old man groped for the ginseng and said, "Sure enough, it is a rare good ginseng, with this ginseng, I may be able to make your Ama go through to the return of the prince Fujin." Speaking of which, he closed the brocade box and handed it to Fu Qing: "Put it away, cut a few slices of soup every time." ”

Fu Qing took it with both hands, and said with a little doubt: "Since I know that Cao Shangshu's family has good ginseng, why didn't the second uncle let my nephew ask for it earlier?" ”

These words, the Fucha family also bought a lot of ginseng through various channels.

Li Rongbao has been hanging for most of the past half a month, thanks to ginseng.

But in the past few days, the effect of ginseng has become less and less obvious, and Li Rongbao has been asleep for two days.

Ma Qi shook his head and said, "This kind of ginseng is not only available to the Cao family in Beijing. There are several pharmacies in the palace and several wealthy palaces. If important relatives and friends are old and ask in private, most of the Cao family will not sit idly by; But the Fucha family and the Cao family have not yet reached that relationship. took the liberty of coming to the door, not only offending the Cao family, but also causing the Fucha family to fall. ”

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Fucha family is the surname of the Eight Banners, and they are a noble family that has experienced the four dynasties, and their family background should be no weaker than the Cao family, who was born in Baoyi.

And this century-old ginseng is really a good thing to save lives.

The Fucha family came to ask for it, and the Cao family looked at the face of the fourth elder brother, and most of them would not refuse, but they would not be happy in their hearts.

With this precedent, what will the Cao family do if others come to ask for it in the future?

And Cao Hao, as a "visit" gift, personally sent it, which can show his friendliness to the Fucha family. Even if the matter spreads and someone goes to Cao's Mansion to ask for ginseng, the Cao family can say that there is only one, and it is sent to the Fucha family, and the family has nothing to do with it.

Thinking of this, Fu Qing said: "Cao Shangshu seems to be loyal, I really didn't expect that he would act so tactfully. ”

Ma Qi stretched out his hand, twisted his beard and said, "The powerful people in the capital are like clouds, if it weren't for that, how could he be in a high position at a young age." It seems to be loyal, but it is slippery inside. The Cao family is not only like this, but his father and ancestors are also in this style. In the next four rooms, you will have to rely on you to support the portal, when you will figure out Cao Hao's two hands almost the same, you will be able to provoke the beams of the house. ”

Fu Qing hesitated: "My nephew's relatives, does the second uncle also belong to the Cao family?" The nephew listened to his mother's meaning and wanted to book the cousin of Shu Mulu's family. ”

"Nonsense!" When Ma Qi heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "How can the eldest daughter, who has lost her mother, be the eldest daughter-in-law?" ”

Although there is such an old saying, it is just that without the mother's teaching, the woman will be flawed and will not be able to do her duty as a daughter-in-law.

The "cousin" in Fu Qing's mouth is Shu Hede's sister, the sixteen-year-old Miss Sun of Shu Mulu's family. Due to filial piety, he did not participate in the last general election. When the next draft in the seventh year of Yongzheng came, Shu Mulu was over the age again.

Therefore, Shu Mulu's family has already reported that Shu Mulu's family is over the age and will not participate in the next draft, just waiting for next year's disobedience, and then the family can marry independently.

In the eyes of the third lady of the Fucha family, the two families are right together, and they are close to each other, which is just right.

And the niece lost her mother at the age of fourteen, and before that, in order to be a candidate for marriage, she had learned almost everything, and it was not like other young women who lost their mothers who lacked the guidance of their elders, so there was nothing to find fault with.

But neither Ma Qi nor Li Rongbao agreed to this family business.

Fu Qing not only wanted to follow his father's wishes, but also didn't want to make his mother angry, these sons were not only serving the sick at the sickbed, but also worried about their own family affairs...... Cao family father and son who left the Fucha family were also talking about the relationship between the Fucha family and the Shu Mulu family.

In the past few years, there have been rumors that the Cao family and the Fucha family are "married", and their father and son have also paid special attention to the Fucha family.

"I heard that the daughter-in-law of the third lady of the Fucha family is Miss Sun of the Shu Mulu family, maybe the two families will be close to each other." Tianyou said.

When Cao Hao heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said: "If the Fucha family does not have a prince Fujin, it is not uncommon for relatives to be close to each other, but since there is a prince Fujin, I am afraid that the family affairs of these two families will not be successful." ”

Tianyou wondered: "Why is this?" In terms of speaking, the two families are not only in-laws, but also close to each other, and they are both noble families of the three banners. Scholar Xu was in the court again and married his granddaughter, which was also helpful to Fu Qing. ”

"Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there have been not one or two queens, except for the Tong family, which one has developed in the court? The Tong family has won the prestige of 'Tong Banchao', one door and two dukes, how is it now? With the emperor's surname, how could a second Tong family be allowed? Cao Hao said.

God bless the guards, in the eyes of the world, he is not a child.

It is rare for the father and son to have such leisure work, and Cao Hao is also willing to teach his son a few more words.

"In this way, the Fucha family will only develop in the army? I also think that except for Ma Qi, the older generation of the Fucha family is already in the army. can be the prince's in-laws, the Fucha family also has to take care of the fourth elder brother's side, and marrying the Wenchen family is easier to help the court...... Shu Mulu's family is a prime minister's house, and there is no shortage of power, which is not suitable, and most of it is because of the withering of talents...... Shu Hede's father died early, and the two uncles who came out of the house were mediocre, one of them stayed up in charge of the six grades, and the other did not make up for the shortcomings. In the third generation, only Schuhd can handle it. Schuhd was young and had no brother as his arm. If the scholar dies, the prime minister's stamina will be insufficient, and he will be defeated. After listening to his father's guidance, Tianyou analyzed.

Seeing his son's kung fu at this moment, he thought clearly, and Cao Hao nodded with satisfaction.

Tianyou thought of something else: "Father, Shu Hede has no parents, although he has uncles and aunts who have no family, but because he is a concubine, his identity cannot overpower him, the grandson of the long house." Speaking of which, he is a good candidate for his sister-in-law. ”

Cao Hao listened and understood the meaning of his son's words.

There are no in-laws to serve, only the ancestors of the next generation, and they can't serve for a few years. Uncle and aunt, even if they don't divide the family, they don't have much weight.

And with Shu Hede's talent and learning, coupled with his grandfather's shadows, it is only a matter of time to get ahead.

And the Shu Mulu family is withering, although it is not as rich as the rich Cha family, but it will not be on the wrong side on the cusp, or be affected by relatives who are obsessed with power.

It's just that there is no kinship responsibility, and there is no kinship constraint, everything is in Schuhed's thoughts.

Thinking of his daughter next year, this Shu Hede seems to have some fate in addition to filial piety next year.

Cao Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait and see......"

Because the emperor pointed out Jingyang Palace to the fourth elder brother, Cao Hao paid attention to the gossip about the clan these days.

It's nothing more than the addition of a little brother to this family, and the old lady has a birthday, but there is nothing special about it.

It wasn't until he met the sixteenth elder brother that Cao Hao got some inside information.

On the occasion of the fourth elder brother's wedding, the emperor scolded Zhenguo for being fair, scolding him for fainting and being incompetent and unable to restrain his subordinates.

When Cao Hao listened to the sixteenth elder brother's relay, he was still quite nervous, worried that it was for the Cao family and the Fucha family.

After all, the move of the Twelfth Master and the Twelfth Fujin is suspected of drilling camps for the Fucha family and attracting people for the fourth elder brother, which makes the situation of the Cao family delicate.

As an emperor, it's not uncommon to get tired of such small actions.

The result was that it had nothing to do with the Cao family, because the people of the Zhenguo Mansion entered and left the Lijun Palace.

It turned out that there were envoys from North Korea who had arrived, and when the emperor saw them, he remembered the rumors of the "grandson of the emperor" a few years ago, and he was not happy.

But if he was scheming with Honghui and lost his bearing, the Twelfth Master would be a substitute for the dead ghost.

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude.

This Twelve Blessings, I don't know if it has been suppressed for a long time in the past two years, because of my cousin's wedding, I have been too active recently, and I sent people to mess around in the palaces.

If it weren't for this, the gossip between the Cao family and the Fucha family would not have spread so quickly.

There is a good wife in the family, the husband has no misfortune, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me.

Yongzheng used this method to point out the identity of the fourth elder brother's prince, which can be regarded as a warning to the clan with ghosts......
