Although I don't know how Shu Hede mentioned it to his grandfather after he went back, at the next small court meeting, Cao Hao obviously felt that Xu Yuanmeng's attitude was different.

Before the arrival of the holy car, the old man also found a son to say a few words to Cao Hao.

Shu Hede has not yet come out of service, and it is not the time to mention family affairs in front of Xiao Chao, but Xu Yuanmeng still said something like "Ling Lang is extraordinary, and Xiao Sun needs to make Lang mention more in the future".

Cao Hao knew it in his heart, and he was humble twice, and he couldn't help but praise Shu Hede a few words.

Xu Yuanmeng was overjoyed when he heard this, with his old man's experience in officialdom for all these years, he was not a person who was happy and angry.

Now he is happy, in addition to being sincerely satisfied with this family business, he is also expressing his position in front of Cao Hao.

In the case of Shu Hede, he may still feel that the matter of "choosing a brother-in-law" is the brother of Tianyou.

But Xu Yuanmeng is cunning, and he doesn't understand that if there is no acquiescence from Cao Hao and his wife, the matter of Xishan must not be possible.

You must know that the eldest girl of Cao Mansion is not only a concubine, but also the only daughter of Cao Mansion, how can she be blessed by God to make a weak crown brother the master?

If Tianyou was so brainless, he would not have been a jinshi at a young age, and then turned from a literary to a martial artist to work as a guard in front of the palace.

There are only two old concubines left in the older generation of the Cao family, but everyone knows that the most prosperous generation of the Cao family is the generation of the Cao Hao brothers.

If the eldest grandson marries the daughter of the Cao family, he can make up for the regret of not having an uncle or elder.

Judging from the Cao family's aunts and grandmothers, the upbringing of the Cao family's girls cannot be wrong.

Speaking of appearance, Cao Hao's father and son are both handsome people, and several aunts and grandmothers of the Cao family are also dignified and beautiful, and the eldest girl of the Cao family can't be wrong if she thinks about it.

Maybe if you change to someone else, you have to take care of some face, or rely on yourself to be an old surname of Baqi and a university scholar, even if you are willing to do it in your heart, you still hold the shelf, make a reluctant look, and think about pressing your in-laws.

Xu Yuanmeng is not so frivolous, the so-called university scholar's mansion may be attached to other people.

But for the upstart Cao family, it may not be a high family.

If the Cao family really intends to "marry a daughter from a high family", it is to marry directly from the clan.

Judging from the close relationship between the Cao family and the clan, it is by no means difficult.

Although Xu Yuanmeng only chatted a few words in an ordinary way, and his voice was not high, the happy expression on his face fell in the eyes of everyone.

The old minister, who concentrates on cultivating history and doesn't care about ministry affairs, suddenly treats Cao Hao, the head of the household, so familiarly, which will inevitably attract people's attention.

Some people even began to speculate whether Zhang Tingyu recently said that something did not fall into the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor removed his household palm print, did he still want Xu Xiang to take over the household department?

Zhang Tingyu stood in the forefront, although he didn't look back, but he noticed the hot eyes of everyone.

He often works as an errand in front of the emperor, and he knows that he has nothing to anger the emperor, and the emperor will not let the old bachelor take care of the tedious affairs again.

However, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Yuanmeng from the corner of his eye.

What is there in the Cao family that can make the calm old man smile so brightly?

Could it be that he is eyeing the Cao family's book collection?

When Cao Yin was in Jiangnan in his early years, he was ordered to print a lot of books, and he must have found many unique books; Later, when he returned to Beijing, Cao Yin has always enjoyed school books and books.

Others may not know, but for Zhang Tingyu, who was born in Shilin, Jiangnan, he knows the glory of the Gu family in Jiangnan in his early years, and also knows the origin of the Cao family and the Gu family.

It is true that Xu Yuanmeng and Cao Hao have no relationship, so Zhang Tingyu can't think of a marriage between the two families no matter how transparent he is.

As a reader, ancient books are regarded as treasures, and Zhang Tingyu is no exception.

Ping Suri, because he was on an errand in front of the emperor, he was more careful, kept a distance from his colleagues and subordinates, and did not join the party.

If the old man can really borrow books in the name of revising history, can he also follow the precedent when he participates in the revision of history in the future...... Waiting for the scattered dynasty, without waiting for others to inquire in detail, the sixteenth elder brother has already come out with Cao Hao.

Most of the others pay attention to Xu Yuanmeng, but the sixteenth elder brother is here, but he has always looked at the problem from Cao Hao's standpoint.

In the eyes of others, it is the old man who treats Cao Hao closely, which means that he is a little broken; In the eyes of the sixteenth elder brother, it is the old man who "has nothing to do", and he is not sure what Cao Hao is calculating.

Although he knew that Cao Hao was not a person who suffered in vain, he knew that Cao Hao had always respected the elderly and had a lot of compassion for the elderly, but he didn't want to watch Xu Yuanmeng "rely on the old and sell the old" to take advantage of Cao Hao.

Because the holy driver moved to the Old Summer Palace, Cao Hao and the others took turns to go to the Old Summer Palace.

The sixteenth elder brother is also going back to Beijing, but he is on the way with Cao Hao, so he is not in a hurry to ask.

It wasn't until he came out of the Old Summer Palace that he let Cao Hao get into his carriage that he asked in detail.

The sixteenth elder brother is not an outsider, and there is nothing to hide, so Cao Hao said that he liked Shu Hede and wanted the two families to marry.

The sixteenth elder brother nodded, shook his fan and said: "This is a good thing, there are several prime ministers' mansions in the capital, and their homes are notoriously clean. Needless to say, if Xu Xiang hadn't been clear-minded, he wouldn't have experienced two dynasties; Even the old lady of their family is also a wonderful person. ”

Xu Yuanmeng is still there, he is an official in the same dynasty, and Cao Hao can still see him; Mrs. Xu, after all, is a woman in the house, and the two families only had no other contacts except for the juniors, and Cao Hao is really not familiar with Mrs. Xu.

originally thought that things gather like and people are grouped, Cao Yi's mother-in-law Xitara is a sensible old lady, and Mrs. Xu can be friends with her, and she is also clear about how she wants to behave.

Now, after listening to the words of the sixteenth elder brother, it seems that there is something to say.

"What do you mean?" Cao Hao asked.

Cao Hao had inquired a lot about the university before, but he was still worried that there would inevitably be omissions.

The sixteenth elder brother said: "Speaking of which, it was also news at the time, but it happened that you were not in Beijing, and there were many private words in the house, so I didn't care." ”

Because of the matter of picking a daughter-in-law, the wife of the university scholar is unique, which attracts many people to talk.

At that time, Mrs. Xu chose a daughter-in-law for her third son, because Xu Yuanmeng went to the hat of "commission" at that time and was officially promoted to a university scholar, and it was lively in front of the door.

Not only do many low-grade families want to marry and cling, but even more prominent families also want to give up a concubine and have a noble family.

The family is almost the same, and the concubine marries the concubine, which is also the norm for the marriage of the big families in the capital.

I don't want to, but Mrs. Xu found another way, only giving her concubine a look at her daughter-in-law.

In this way, the door of marriage has been lowered a lot at the first time, and it also responds to the sentence "low-door wife", which is not very eye-catching.

But as Mrs. Xu looked around, people with a heart noticed the difference.

For those families with weak family backgrounds, Mrs. Xu didn't seem to think about it, and they all looked at people with solid family backgrounds.

Someone dug it out, the foundation of Mrs. Xu's first two daughters-in-law, whether it is the eldest daughter-in-law or the second daughter-in-law, is mostly the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, and the dowry is rich.

Those who can't marry or cling to each other have to say a few sour words, ridiculing Mrs. Xu for having "rich eyes", and laughing at the old lady for being greedy for money.

It turned out that this was what he said, and Cao Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Mrs. Xu picked up the dowry to hire her daughter-in-law, and Cao Hao already knew about it.

After all, he is not an ancient, and he does not have the kind of Qinggao who "regards money as dung" in the world.

On the contrary, he could understand Mrs. Xu's approach.

As a concubine, she knows the difference between concubines and concubines, and she will not make trouble for her husband.

The daughters of well-to-do families are mostly pampered, even if they are low, they will not act stingy, greedy and vulgar.

The above two are the way of "home and everything is prosperous".

In addition, the family background of the university scholar is not thick, and the wealth of the two concubines is limited, and if you have a wife with a rich dowry, even if you don't expect the wife's dowry, you can have more protection.

As a mother-in-law, being able to do this shows that Mrs. Xu is a right-hearted person, otherwise she would not rather damage her reputation and let the two concubines benefit...... While the two were talking, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them.

The two couldn't help but glance at each other and stopped.

From the capital to the Old Summer Palace, all the way is an official road, and now the holy car has moved to the Old Summer Palace, and the people who come and go are the eunuchs of the clan.

Isn't it too arrogant to gallop here?

Without waiting for the sixteenth elder brother to send someone to ask which one it was, he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and then the carriage stopped.

The sixteenth elder brother was surprised in his heart, and picked up the curtain, but he was stunned.

The person who came was not a bystander, but a guard of his own palace.

The person who came had already dismounted, his forehead was sweaty, and he stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, the big housekeeper sent a servant to look for the Wei guards, and the Wei family came to the palace to spread the word, saying that the wife of the Wei guards was born prematurely, which was quite dangerous, and asked the Wei guards to go home quickly." ”

Before the sixteenth elder brother could react, Wei Wenzhi outside the carriage and Cao Hao in the carriage were shocked at the same time.

Seeing Cao Hao's face full of shock, the sixteenth elder brother reacted that it was not someone else who had the accident, it was Cao Hao's junior sister Zhuang.

At this time, the sixteenth elder brother didn't care about reprimanding his own guards, seeing that Cao Hao was already unable to sit still, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare a fast horse.

Wei Wenzhi was young in the end, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak in a trance.

Seeing him like this, Cao Hao frowned and said: "For women, production is a checkpoint, where do you think of the worst?" At this time, Niuniu is the most difficult time, and I need you to be accompanied by my husband, if you can't adjust your emotions, just take my carriage and go slowly, I don't dare to let you ride back to the city like this. If there is a mistake, isn't it adding to the chaos? ”

The sixteenth elder brother also scolded: "Ping Suye sees that you are also responsible, why are you scared of this little thing?" You can't be a little more promising, don't embarrass you! ”

The two scolded one after another, and Wei Wenzhi's eyes finally returned to clarity.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, calmed down a lot, resigned with the sixteenth elder brother, got on the horse and returned to Beijing with Cao Hao.

Along the way, Cao Hao didn't speak.

When he was comforting Wei Wenzhi just now, he was not afraid in his heart.

He knew the horror of a woman's difficult birth, not only did his wife almost die in two, but he also saw the Khalkha princess who died in childbirth.

Niuniu landed in the Cao family, not so much Cao Hao's little sister, but more like his eldest daughter with Chu Yu.

In Cao Hao's heart, how is it not a fire?

However, in the end, he has experienced a lot, not the kind of stunned youth, when he entered the city through Xizhimen, he reined in the reins of the horse, and at the same time ordered Wei Wenzhi to walk slowly.

The Wei family's house is not far from the Cao family, just inside the Xizhi Gate.

The road is usually short, but now it is long.

If you really want to talk about it, Cao Hao is a pessimistic person, and he is easy to think of the worst in everything.

Finally arrived at the Wei Mansion, Cao Hao and Wei Wenzhi both endured the panic and strode into the Wei Mansion.

As soon as he entered the gate, two little servants stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second master, happy to be a noble son." ”

Wei Wenzhi's eyes widened, he didn't care about asking questions, and his steps became more and more hurried.

Cao Hao finally let go of his heart that mentioned his throat, no matter how dangerous he was before, it seems that he should pass.

Otherwise, if being a housewife is really dangerous, the family will not be in this atmosphere.

Cao Hao took out a few golden melon seeds from his purse, threw them to the two little guys and said, "Your second master is anxious to see his son, and there will be a reward later." ”

Whether it was a descendant from the Cao family or someone else bought here, he knew Cao Hao more, and he hurriedly bowed down and thanked the reward.

At this moment, Wei Wenzhi has long been gone.

Cao Hao thought for a while and asked, "Is my wife in the inner house?" ”

One of the servants replied: "Here, as early as the second grandmother, our old lady asked someone to invite the eldest lady over." ”

Cao Hao nodded, and his pace slowed down a little.

When he entered the inner courtyard, Chu Yu had already gotten the news and sent the big girl Chunxia next to him to greet him.

Cao Hao couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Ping, is she still safe?" ”

Chunxia didn't answer, and her face was hesitant.

Cao Hao's heart sank, and his steps became faster and faster.

Chunxia directly took Cao Hao to the upper room, and when she entered the house, she saw Chu Yu's face pale and crooked on the kang.

Gui Niang's face was also very ugly, she was sitting by the kang, and when she saw Cao Hao coming in, she hurriedly got up.

Cao Hao nodded to Gui Niang, then looked at his wife and said, "What's the matter...... What's wrong with Sister Ping? ”

Chu Yu said with a smile: "Although Sister Ping has suffered some crimes, but the Buddha blesses, she will finally be the next brother in Ping's estate. ”

This time it was Cao Hao's turn to be confused: "If this is the case, why did Mrs. become like this...... Couldn't it be that scared ......"

Hearing his words, Chu Yu frowned, and his face became more and more ugly.

Seeing this, Chunxia hurriedly brought a spittoon over.

Chu Yu vomited a few times and swallowed a few mouthfuls of filth before stroking his chest.

At this time, Cao Hao realized that the smell in the house was turbid, there was a sour and rotten smell, and with Chunxia's neatness, it was not the first time that Chu Yu had vomited.

Cao Hao's eyes lit up, and his gaze couldn't help but move to Chu Yu's stomach.

Gui Niang saw that the husband and wife had something to say, so she found an excuse and avoided it.

Chu Yu noticed her husband's strange appearance, glanced at him, and said, "What is the master thinking, it's not because of this!" Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment, waved her hand and sent Chunxia and Chunxue down.

Cao Hao sat on the edge of the kang, and also showed a little caution, and said, "Is there any sequelae of Niuniu, or are you uncomfortable?" ”

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "It's not, but ...... Instead, I made a ...... A horrible thing that scared ...... himself"
