Chapter 1373: Clue
As Yaer said that before entering the teahouse, Cao Hao couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Didn't the sun come out in the west, and Yarjianga actually found the government office, just to invite himself to "eat tea"?
His wife said that he had discussed the matter in King Jian's Mansion today, and Cao Hao knew it, and guessed in his heart that it was related to the two families.
Yarjiang's face is really not good-looking, do you think that August 18 is in a hurry?
Until he was introduced into the private room by Dr. Cha, Cao Hao was a little hesitant, whether his decision yesterday was inappropriate.
Everyone knows that Prince Jian and his wife love Liugege very much, but the Cao family said that if the employment is delayed, it will be delayed, and after a few days, it will be hired and then a few days, and it will be slower.
If it weren't for the fact that King Jian's mansion was weak, Yaerjiang was out of tune, and Yongjia was an acquaintance, would he still decide like this?
In his bones, isn't he snobbish and shallow?
Thinking like this, Cao Hao was a little weak-hearted, and when he faced Yaerjiang, he became more polite and respectful.
Yarjiang sat down with a loud voice, and motioned for Cao Hao to sit down, and when Dr. Tea served tea to the two of them, he waved his hand and sent the man out.
This teahouse is not far from the six government offices, the layout is very quiet, the price of a pot of tea is expensive, and it is the business of the court officials.
Therefore, in the face of Cao Hao's crane supplement, Dr. Tea was respectful and respectful, and he also responded calmly.
But it goes on like this...... Dr. Cha's footsteps were a little hesitant...... Seeing this, Yarjianga couldn't help but glare.
Cao Hao has been here twice, knows the rules here, touched two pieces of silver from his purse, and put them on the empty tea tray on the table.
Dr. Tea then took the tray, thanked him for the reward, and retreated.
Yarjana stared at the broken silver in the tea tray until Dr. Tea went out and looked down at himself, his face darkened.
Shame on you, he didn't bring a purse.
Because he was depressed in the back garden, he went out of the house directly, not only did he have no purse on him, but he didn't even have small objects such as a jade pendant wrench.
Not to mention rewarding, even tea and silver can't be settled.
Isn't he getting old, and he still has a treat without money, what is this called?
Yarjana's brow is furrowed, and he can kill flies.
Cao Hao's heart is really a little bottomless.
For Liugege's daughter-in-law, he is happy in his heart.
It's not on the side of King Jian's mansion, but on Yongqing and Yongsheng.
These two brothers have been friends with him for more than 20 years, and they are close friends, and they have long been married.
Although Cao Hao did not marry his daughter, he married the niece of the Wanyan family as his daughter-in-law, and he became an official in-law.
Plus Wanyan Yongjia...... Old acquaintances of teenagers...... There is only one daughter, Liugege, who must be reluctant to marry far away.
If Yarjanya accuses him of being contemptuous now, he really can't defend himself.
Yaerjianga looked at Cao Hao, and said a little impatiently: "Cao Hao, you and Ye Fujin's two maiden brothers are good in the family, and I honestly tell my grandfather, how is the tutor of the Wanyan family?" ”
Cao Hao was stunned when asked, what is this called?
What happened to Yongqing and Yongsheng's family? How do you have to do with tutoring?
Cao Hao's heart suddenly hung in the air.
Seeing that Cao Hao didn't speak, Yaerjianga thought that Cao Hao was hesitating, gritted his teeth and said: "Even the Holy Ancestor can't find fault with the Wanyan family, so he will refer to the two daughters of their family as a prince and a family to marry the clan. ”
Cao Hao saw that he was annoyed, and hurriedly said: "The prince misunderstood, the minister didn't mean this...... It's just that the two Shanyu brothers are friends with the ministers, and the ministers are arguing behind their backs, which is inappropriate......"
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows in his heart, and said: "It is said that things gather people in groups, since you and your two uncles are close friends, then you must think that they are not picky, yes or no?" ”
Cao Hao listened, nodded nod, and shook his head. If you nod your head, you seem to be boasting; If you shake your head, you seem to think that Brother Yongqing is not good.
Seeing Cao Hao's acquiescence, Yaerjiang's face showed a little smugness, and said: "Since the two uncles are good, then the master's Fujin upbringing naturally has no choice, yes or no?" ”
This time, Cao Hao had to keep his mouth shut and pretend to be dumb.
Yarjianga is really too unscored, asking a man to comment on his Fujin, or his future in-laws, if this is accidentally spread, it will become a big joke.
Yaerjiang'a didn't stop here, glared at Cao Hao and said, "Why don't you keep quiet, do you disagree with the master's words?" ”
Cao Hao couldn't, so he could only avoid the important and said lightly: "What the prince said is that the upbringing of the Wanyan family is indeed good......"
Yaerjianga restrained his smile, his expression became extremely solemn, and he stared at Cao Hao and said: "Liugege has been taught by Fujin for more than ten years, and she is the most sensible and courteous, and she is the best girl in the world......
Cao Hao can recognize Yarjiang's words before, and now that he heard this sentence, he immediately wanted to refute it.
Liugege is the best, what about Tianhui? Tomorrow is the best.
But looking at Yarjiang's solemnity, Cao Hao seemed to understand his thoughts at once.
It's nothing but a parent's loving heart for their children.
Cao Hao nodded, and said without hesitation: "What the prince said is that it is the blessing of the little dog and the blessing of the Cao family to be able to marry Liugege and enter the door......
Yarjana didn't say anything else, just sat quietly and drank a pot of tea.
When the teapot was upside down and couldn't drip water, Cao Hao wanted to open his mouth to call people to add water.
Yarjianga waved his hand and said, "The tea is almost eaten, so let's disperse like this......
In the end, it was Cao Hao's account.
Until he returned to the Household Office, Cao Hao was in a trance.
Yarjana didn't seem to say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything...... When Cao Hao returned home, Chu Yu had already received an accurate reply from King Jian's mansion and finalized the appointment on August 18.
Even Hengsheng was recovered, and the family discussed the matter of making a ceremony in Fuyuan Hall.
The dowry has long been prepared, and according to the regulations of Cao Hao's time when he went to King Chun's mansion, the gift list is also ready-made.
Li's face was full of joy.
After making up his mind, he will prepare to marry, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law will enter the door.
Hengsheng and Tianhui all looked at Tianyou with a smile.
Although Tianyou has already started to take care of housework, he really didn't interfere in the matter of the dowry. This dowry is prepared by Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, some are ready-made, and some are added one after another in the past year.
When he saw that the dowry was ninety-six, he frowned slightly, and said to several elders: "Ninety-six, isn't it too ostentatious?" ”
Li Shi listened, and hesitated.
The official eunuchs in the capital have paid tribute, twenty-four and thirty-six are the most common, even if the other party is the palace, sixty-four is already a lot, but their own dowry is indeed more.
But where can it be less?
Since King Jian's Mansion married the Cao family, didn't he inquire about the Cao family's employment in King Chun's Mansion back then?
Speaking of the family, the hereditary Prince Heshuo Jian's Mansion is even more noble than the Chunjun Palace; The identity of Liugege's grandson is also more noble than Chu Yu.
Chu Yu also thought of this, shook his head and said: "It's not much, there were so many dowries to the prince's mansion back then, and there was no reason why there was no dowry to the prince's mansion......"
Seeing that his grandmother and mother wanted to follow the old rules, Tianyou said to Cao Hao: "Father, now is different from then...... When my father was alone in Beijing, the Holy Grandfather took pity on him and gave him a lot of things for his father's ceremony...... Several princes who had old days with their father also added icing on the cake. There are also the second aunt and Prince Ping, I heard that they have also prepared a lot of dowry gifts for their father...... Even if you are swaggering, others look at it, it is just that the Cao family is grateful to Dade for the marriage, and everyone in Beijing has done their best to help the Cao family...... Now, it's different......"
Cao Hao also asked about the dowry once before, but he didn't ask again after hearing his wife say that he had followed the old practice.
Now that I have listened to my son's words and thought about it carefully, it is indeed a little inappropriate.
He motioned to Tianyou to hand over the gift list, looked at it roughly from beginning to end, and said: "Then sixty-four lifts, things don't have to be reduced, just ...... the box tightly."
When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She was really worried that her husband would reduce the dowry, and she knew that she would be considerate of them and cautious, and if she didn't know, she might think that her mother-in-law was deliberately pressuring her daughter-in-law...... There are only three days to prepare, and there is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a little more urgent.
Fortunately, the relevant wedding cards, like the dowry, have been prepared.
In the past three days, in addition to informing relatives and friends, it is to choose an auspicious day from October to the six-grid small day that he got from King Jian's mansion.
There are also Prince Yu Guanglu and Guogong Seshtu, as big media, Cao Hao has to come forward to help.
Although there is no need to build a wedding tent at home like a wedding, it is still necessary to prepare a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.
Fortunately, when the ceremony is over, the invitees are all close relatives and friends, and there are no outsiders, otherwise it would be rude to post three days in advance.
Although Guanglu and Seshtu are Cao Hao's sister-in-law, since they have been God's blessed matchmakers, Cao Hao's uncle is not good to trust him anymore, so he needs to pay a visit in person, please take care of this matter.
Chu Yu's side needs to consider exchanging some dowry gifts.
The number of dowry gifts is less, and the ones that are put out need to be more fine, so that King Jian's mansion can't find out the reason.
Tianhui helped her mother and took care of the mat.
Hengsheng wears filial piety, and it is not easy to show his head, so he can only help with some trivial things behind people.
Fortunately, there are two people, Zuozhu and Wenzhi, who got the news and immediately came over to help, ran errands and delivered letters, and worked very hard.
In the hurry of the Cao family, finally on August 18, the Cao Mansion paid tribute to King Jian's Mansion.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and their eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
However, as the invited relatives and friends came to the door one after another, the auspicious time was approaching, Cao Hao and Tianyou father and son glanced at each other, and there was some worry between their eyebrows.
Hang Seng has not yet come.
What's going on?
With the relationship between Hengsheng and the Cao family, I don't feel that I need to avoid anything when I come back.
Cao Hao was about to send someone to the county king's mansion to have a look, when he saw the county king's mansion steward Chi Na coming over.
It was only said that Hengsheng had a cold last night, and he said that he was not feeling well today, so he sent himself over to ask for sin, and he will come back tomorrow......
