September 15 is the birthday of the Chunwang Mansion Fu Jin Na La, and Cao Hao, as the future uncle, also received an invitation from the Chun Wangfu three days in advance.

It stands to reason that Cao Hao has already married King Chun's mansion, and he should have come to the door a long time ago to say hello to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Because Cao Yin is in the south, and the Cao clan has no other relatives in Beijing, Cao Hao, the future uncle, has no reason to come to the door by himself, and he has never had a chance to enter the gate of the Chunwang Mansion.

This day, after the class in the study was over, the sixteenth elder brother went out of the palace with Cao Hao, and he was also going to King Chun's mansion to eat and drink.

Chunwang's Mansion is in Dongjiang Mixiang, out of Donghua Gate, along Chang'an Street, to Chongwen Gate on horseback for a quarter of an hour. Because the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Four Translators are all here, there are many carriages, horses, and official sedan chairs coming and going. This "Four Translation Hall", also known as the "Four Yi Pavilion", is specially designed to receive people from the four vassal states of Annam, Mongolia, Korea and Myanmar, so there are some pedestrians dressed in different races here.

Cao Hao thought that he could go to the Sixth Ministry on an errand, and when he saw the sign of the Ministry of Rites, he felt a little hot, this can be regarded as a light provincial yamen, there are not so many curves, and the Qingshui Yamen is the most suitable for laziness.

The sixteenth elder brother rode parallel to him, and when he saw him looking at the yamen of the Ministry of Rites over there, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Thinking about an errand? The other ministries are okay, but you don't want to think about the Ministry of Rites! ”

Cao Hao understood what the sixteenth elder brother meant, smiled bitterly in his heart, and just thought about it. Now, King Chunjun is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he is his future son-in-law, even if he wants to avoid suspicion, he will not let himself go to the Ministry of Rites on an errand.

"I think it's still a good household! Recently, there have been a lot of vacancies, and I heard that people are stuffing everywhere! Why don't we go the way of the fourth brother and go to the household department, we can't be prepared to find a high-grade one! As the sixteenth elder brother spoke, he couldn't help laughing: "However, with the fourth brother's temper, it is not easy to get along, how can you get into his eyes as a tired surname!" ”

Cao Hao smiled and waved his hand: "I have self-knowledge, let's find a quiet place!" ”

As he spoke, he had arrived at King Chun's Mansion.

There have been a lot of carriages, horses, mules and sedan chairs parked in front of King Chun's mansion, and the welcoming steward at the door is in his twenties, and he seems to know the sixteenth elder brother, so he hurriedly stepped forward and called a thousand first: "The slave Wang Qing has seen the sixteenth master, please say hello to the sixteenth master!" Then, he personally took the reins of the sixteenth elder brother and asked him to dismount.

The sixteenth elder brother turned over and dismounted, threw a few golden melon seeds casually, and said with a smile: "Count you as a clever boy, now all those mansions have arrived?" ”

Wang Qing returned: "All the masters and Fujin have arrived, and the masters of King Jian's Mansion, King Ping's Mansion, and Shuncheng Palace's Mansion have just entered!" Because he looked at Cao Hao behind the sixteenth elder brother, and he was not dressed as a guard, he couldn't help but look at it twice.

The sixteenth elder brother scolded with a smile: "Thief eyebrows, what do you see, don't hurry up, please be safe, that is your future master, Da Gege's forehead Cao Ye." ”

Wang Qing's eyes lit up, and while coming forward to ask for a thousand greetings, he was busy calling the little servants to lead the horses for the two masters, and then he personally accompanied the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao into the mansion. Entering the outer gate and passing through the Lion Courtyard is the gate of the serious palace.

As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, Wang Qing said loudly: "The sixteenth master and the eldest prince of Cao Mansion have arrived." ”

This is the front yard of the palace, and naturally there is a steward who welcomes guests, taking Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother in.

Wangfu Middle Road is Yin'an Palace, although it is the main building, but the real living is in the east, these few houses. In the east front yard, the main house and the east and west side rooms are all five bays. There is a plaque hanging on the main house, on which are written three big characters "Diefuxuan", which is the living room of the palace.

In Diefuxuan, there have been many guests, some of whom Cao Hao knows and some who he doesn't. However, looking at the dress grade, it is not the prince of the county, but also the son of Belle Beyle, and there are a few non-clan families, all of whom are also of the prince grade.

"Little Sixteen is here, come, come and sit on my brother's side!" The one who greeted with a loud voice was the tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother sitting with the tenth elder brother Dunjun Wang Yinqi.

King Chunjun was originally sitting in a chair with his back to the door and talking to the two princes. Hearing the greeting of the tenth elder brother, he turned around and looked at the door, and just happened to see Cao Hao who came in behind the sixteenth elder brother.

Looking at Cao Hao's gentle and elegant appearance, King Chunjun couldn't help showing a trace of joy on his face, and then stopped, slowly putting on a "majestic" elder.

The sixteenth elder brother had already clasped his fists to the tenth elder brother and smiled: "Thank you, tenth brother, my younger brother will go over when he sees the seventh brother!" As he spoke, he entered the living room with Cao Hao.

The prince salutes, not according to the grade, but just a fist salute. Cao Hao's side, but he wanted to perform the junior salute, and he played a thousand in a proper manner.

King Chunjun first greeted the sixteenth elder brother, and then nodded at Cao Hao: "Get up!" Looking at his gaze, he was quite satisfied.

Cao Hao's face lowered his eyebrows, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, his old man was too young, even if he looked like an elder, it was difficult for people to have respect in their hearts.

Although Cao Hao and Da Gege are only engaged, they can be regarded as half masters, so King Chunjun raised his chin slightly and said to Cao Hao: "Follow me to meet these uncles and brothers, and in the future, when you are in the capital, you will need to rely on them if you can't prepare anywhere." ”

The sixteenth elder brother was smiling "hehe" beside him, Cao Hao naturally understood his pride, and now as soon as the king of Chunjun spoke, the title of the eldest and youngest would be decided. In the future, if he is in front of people, according to the rules, Cao Hao will call him "Uncle Sixteen".

* In the inner courtyard, the Cao Jia clan of the Liuhuatang came much earlier than Cao Hao, but it was not the earliest. When she entered the door, Chunwang Fujin was sitting on the kang, talking to the fourteen Fujin on the left, and on the right hand side were the five Fujin, the eight Fujin, the nine Fujin, and the ten Fujin.

Because Cao Jiashi is a junior, he first went over to give a few princes Fujin a salute, and then solemnly gave Chunwang Fujin a birthday.

Chunwang Fujin hurriedly asked someone to pull him, and smiled and gave up his seat. Fourteen Fujin stood up and said with a smile: "Come and sit here, you two have a good chat." ”

Cao Jiashi hurriedly excused himself and said: "The fourteenth aunt has tormented her nephew and daughter-in-law!" ”

Although the fourteen Fujin are the elder Cao Jia's generation, they are actually similar to her, and the Wanyan family and the Heping County Wangfu have always been friends, and the fourteen Fujin have no shelf to treat Cao Jia's family, just like sisters, they grabbed her hand and pulled it next to Chunwang Fujin.

Chunwang Fujin said with a smile: "It's not difficult for her, it's the same to ask the chair to sit there." ”

The Fourteenth Fujin winked at Chunwang Fujin, let go of Cao Jia's hand, asked someone to set up a chair, and placed Cao Jia's under Chunwang Fujin. He snickered once, leaned into the ear of King Chun Fujin and muttered: "It can be seen that it is the in-laws, so it is protected?" ”

Chunwang Fujin glared at her with a smile, and said angrily: "You, you are a bit like an elder." ”

Fourteen Fujin chuckled, and asked Cao Jiashi a few words about his children's common words, and Cao Jiashi replied with a smile.

After a while, the three Fujin, the fourth Fujin, the twelfth, and the thirteenth Fujin also arrived one after another, and Cao Jia's family was busy getting up to salute one by one, and before she could sit down, the crown princess entered the door with the fifteenth Fujin.

Everyone hurriedly put the crown princess on the upper seat, greeted him according to the state courtesy, and sat down again. At that time, the room was already full of people, and only a few princes Fujin were still seated, and the county prince Fujin and the ladies couldn't sit down. King Chun Fujin smiled and said a few words, and then let everyone go to the outside table. Because there were still female relatives who came to pay their respects, she had to wait here and couldn't sit at the table, so she entrusted Sanfujin to help take care of it.

Everyone got up and went to the outhouse, but Cao Jiashi was told to stay. Chunwang Fujin pulled her to sit beside him, and when he saw that she was still pushing, he smiled and said, "There is no one left, you don't have to go outside." Sit down. He asked again: "Your fourth elder brother is about to turn one year old, right?" How many seats are we going to have? ”

Cao Jiashi replied: "Aunt Lao Qi is worried. On the nineteenth of this month, these two posts will be served. ”

Chunwang Fujin said with a smile: "It's been half a year since I last saw him. The first two days I heard that Mrs. Tong came over and said that she had grown stronger, more and more handsome, and she had a blessed face, so I was worried about where to take a look. Nineteen will go. ”

Cao Jiashi said humbly: "Mrs. Tong praised it falsely, the kid is just stronger, and the seventh aunt is willing to appreciate it, that is the best." ”

Chunwang Fujin smiled: "It's not a foreign way again." ”

While speaking, the outside reported that Prince Jian was on the side of Fujin Yiergen Jue Luo came to pay his respects. Prince Jian's Fujin Guerjia clan has been sick in bed for several months, so it is the side Fujin Yiergen Jueluo clan who came out to entertain on his behalf. She was in her thirties, with a kind face, and a thick material robe that looked a little rich.

Chunwang Fujin gave up his seat, because he asked her: "Why, your Fuda Fujin has not recovered yet?" A few days ago, I was in a trance and listened to it! ”

Ilgen Jue Luo was worried: "At the beginning of September, it was slightly better, and I was able to go to the ground." But the weather has turned cold in the past two days, and the wind has added to the new ills. ”

Chunwang Fujin sighed and said, "It's not a matter that her illness always recurs. You should also change a few doctors. Find a private prescription, maybe it will work. ”

Ilgen Jue Luo nodded and said, "Fu Jin is right. I've found a lot of home remedies, and I'm eating them one by one, but I haven't seen any results. ”

Chunwang Fujin said: "Alas, this is also impatient. It's just that I see you're wearing thick clothes right now, what's the matter, your body hasn't been cool lately? The ginseng Gui Spleen Pill you asked for last time was recently matched again, and I thought about getting some when I got back. ”

Ilgen Jue Luo was grateful: "I am already well with more Fujin, but my hands and feet are a little cold, so I changed into thick clothes early." There are still some ginseng pills you gave last time, and they are still enough to eat for a while, so I have to come to you again to find them when they are gone. ”

Chunwang Fujin smiled and nodded: "Hmm." If you don't have it, send someone to say it, and I'll send it to you. I said you too, your family is already married, what else do you have to worry about? Let's keep it with ease! ”

Ilgen Jue Roche said yes with a smile, said a few more polite words, and retreated to the table.

Chunwang Fujin looked at her and couldn't help but mutter: "She used to be in good health, but she was not blessed, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six, and she broke four children in three years, including two and a half elder brothers." This destroys the heart and lungs, and the body will not be! In this world, where is it more difficult than being a mother! As he spoke, thinking of his daughter who died young, his eyes were slightly moist.

Several side blessings and Cao Jiashi listened to her sadly, and hurriedly persuaded the great joy of the son, why bother to mention those, and said that everyone has their own blessings.

Cao Jiashi said with a smile: "Last month, her family got married, and I also went to watch the ceremony." Seeing that Da Gege is extremely standard, and her son-in-law is excellent, isn't this also her blessing? and her sixth elder brother Yongxu, who is well-behaved and clever, will have a future, it can be seen that if she loses her blessing elsewhere, God will also make it up for her. ”

Chunwang Fujin nodded: "That's right!" At the moment, he was sad and talked about the marriage in Prince Jane's mansion again.

Cao Jia's family has already decided because of his sister's decision to leave the cabinet, but the brother has not yet believed it, so he is a little worried, so he wants to ask the seventh elder brother what he means. If it's next year, it's okay to say, don't worry; If it is done before the year, then it is necessary to immediately ask someone to calculate the plan and prepare for the big decision. After thinking about it, Cao Jiashi borrowed the happy event of Prince Jian's mansion to mention his own family affairs.

Chunwang Fujin listened to it and said with a smile: "It was also time to discuss, I will mention it to my prince when I go back, and see what the prince means!" As he spoke, he glanced at the big Gege biological mother sitting on the ground, and there was a little bit of inquiry.

The Nala clan was full of joy, bowed down and smiled: "Naturally, I listen to the master and Fujin." ”
