When he arrived at Guanghua Temple, Cao Hao met Li Nai, Li Cheng and his son.

Although the Li family has fallen, it is Cao Hao's maternal grandmother who died because of her death, and the in-laws of the Cao and Li families are old, so they naturally give face, so Gao Taijun's future affairs are not cold.

The more than 40 days of funeral treatment have been put in place, and the Li family is of course unwilling to be negligent in this last step, but also to prepare properly.

Cao Hao first went to Gao Taijun Ling to pay homage, and then spoke to Li Nai, Li Cheng and his son.

Li Cheng returned, Cao Hao had seen it before he went south; Li Nai's side, but I haven't seen him for a few years.

He is more than ten years older than Cao Hao, and this year is about to reach the year of the Mandate of Heaven. Although he has been outside the customs with Li Xu in the past few years, he has not suffered much when he looks at him.

His expression faded away from the pain of the family change in his early years, and his eyebrows also relaxed.

Among the members of the Li family, Cao Hao's impression of this eldest cousin has always been not bad, and now seeing how calm and peaceful he is, he is also happy that he can think about it.

For Cao Hao's little cousin, Li Nai can only be grateful.

Li Nuo and Li Yu brothers are in the Internal Affairs Office, and Li Cheng is in Cangzhou, more or less borrowing Cao Hao's light.

Cao Hao had to ask Li Xu about his recent situation in Shengjing or something, but he thought in his heart that because of the eighth elder brother's early death, after Yongzheng came to power, he would not have to face the attacks of the clan, and he would not treat the minister as harshly as the historical rumors.

Li Xu is over seventy years old, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return to Beijing after being pardoned.

Yongzheng is fifty this year, and I don't know if this year's Wanshou Festival will give amnesty to the world.

But it's what to think about, what to come.

Before I finished eating a cup of tea here, I saw Li Nuo hurrying over.

His face was flushed, his eyebrows and eyes were full of irrepressible joy, and after seeing Cao Hao, he hurriedly said to Li Nai: "Master, the master is back......"

Hearing this, Li Nai's eyes widened, and he said, "Panicked, what's the hurry?" What's wrong with the master......" After saying this, he woke up by himself, got up from the chair all of a sudden, and asked in disbelief: "Master...... The grandmaster is back......"

Even Cao Hao was surprised, Li Xu is back?

It was indeed Li Xu who came back, and when he talked about the will to pardon and return to Beijing five days ago, he arrived in Shengjing. Li Xu couldn't wait for his sons to pick him up, so he set off to come back by himself, and he had just arrived home.

Li Nuo rode a horse and came to report to his father.

Li Nai was already crying with joy, and Li Cheng's face was also filled with joy.

Although Cao Hao didn't treat Li Xu very much, in the end he was the nominal uncle, and the person Li cared about would not ruthlessly hope to let him freeze to death outside the gate.

He then stood up and said to Li Nai: "Big cousin, since my uncle is back, let's go over and have a look first." I haven't seen him for a few years, so I just happened to greet him. ”

"Good, good!" Li Nai woke up at this time, only to feel that his face was wet and cold, and he hurriedly lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

When everyone came out of Guanghua Temple, they also bumped into Li Xu, who was wearing filial piety clothes.

Li Xu is seventy-three years old, his hair is all white, he is on crutches, and he is helped out of the carriage by his two grandsons, Li Jian and Li Zheng.

He was rich in his early years, but now he has lost weight, his face looks full of folds, and he is crawling with dense old age spots, and his eyes are cloudy, and he looks a little less angry.

After another meeting, Li Nai and Li Nuo took over the positions of Li Jiao and Li Zheng, and helped Li Xu to Gao Taijun's spirit.

Li Xu pushed away the hands of his children and grandchildren, put down his crutches, knelt down on both knees, and bowed his head to the ground.

With a hoarse cry, there were two more water stains on the stone slab in front of him.

The joy of the family reunion was immediately dispersed by this cry, and it became a little more dignified.

Cao Hao is not the Li family after all, in this sad atmosphere, he couldn't sit still, and after watching Li Nai help Li Xu up, he found a reason to leave.

Li Nai and Li Cheng knew that he was coming to Beijing today, and there must be a lot of things to take care of, so they didn't keep him; Li Xu also nodded, and asked Li Nai to send Cao Hao out, and he himself stayed in front of Gao Taijun's spiritual hall to burn paper for Gao Taijun...... Compared with the Li family's mixed joys and sorrows, the Li family was only happy when they got the news that their cousin had been pardoned and returned to Beijing.

"Every time I think of your uncle, I am worried in my heart, I am afraid that he is old, in case something is wrong...... Finally wait for this day, finally wait for this day, if your grandmother has a spirit underground, she will also feel happy......" she said to Cao Hao with red eyes.

Seeing that his mother was so excited, Cao Hao couldn't help but regret it a little in his heart.

I was still too cold, in order to protect myself and make less trouble, I ignored Li Xu's side, which made my mother so worried.

"I just looked, my uncle is still healthy, and now the bitterness has passed, and it will be fine in the future." Cao Hao said.

The Li family couldn't help it, if it weren't for Li Xu's return today, the Li family's father, son, grandfather and grandson would have a lot to say, and she would immediately want to visit the Li house.

"Let someone go and see it, and say that I will go through it tomorrow." Lee's Road.

Cao Hao responded, and went to arrange for someone not to mention it, but he himself did not return to Wutong Garden, but went out of the mansion and went to Prince Zhuang's mansion.

Yes, he had to find the sixteenth elder brother to ask about Li Xu's pardon.

Before Gao Taijun's funeral, he pardoned Li Xu, which was a bit more coincidental. If it is to promote the Li family, then their mother and son may have to thank them specially.

The sixteenth elder brother's answer was unexpected by Cao Hao: "It's not to promote Mrs. Tai, but to follow it." The old lady of the Nian family was seriously ill, and the emperor was soft-hearted, and wanted to pardon Nian Qianyao's young sons, but he was afraid that outsiders would talk about it, so he could pardon a lot of old criminals and young and frail officials. Li Xu happened to be among them. It seems that the emperor's anger towards the Li family has disappeared, where is there any reason to stop him from coming back? ”

"I see!" Cao Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jun En is mighty, he is really afraid that the emperor will "mighty" on him.

Sometimes, Jun En is too heavy, and only "doing your best" can you repay your courtiers.

The sixteenth elder brother said that Li Xu was a little proud, and told Cao Hao about the bidding for the sea trade of the sub-household department a few days ago.

Most of the qualified bidders are big businessmen, and many of them are wearing imperial merchant hats, and the sixteenth elder brother, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, naturally knows everything about it.

After asking Cao Hao, he knew that the three million sea trade funds in Jiangnan had been tendered and raised, and the sixteenth elder brother was not surprised. In his opinion, 30 shares are just a dish for Cao Hao.

The journey was tiring, Cao Hao was a little tired, said a few words to the sixteenth elder brother, and then went home.

After dinner, Cao Hao went to bed early, after all, he still had to get up early on the second day.

Although he is the same as Chu Yu's old husband and wife, Xiao Bie is better than a new marriage, and he has to have a good time.

The next time, Cao Hao got up early and went to the palace gate to hand over the sign in the dark.

According to the rules, the emperor always summons his courtiers to see His Majesty after breakfast.

When it was about to be the beginning of Mao (five o'clock in the morning), an attendant came over and led Cao Hao to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, an attendant came out and passed Cao Hao in.

Cao Song's "serious injury", Yongzheng knew, and of course he knew that he was given the name of "Qincha" a few years ago, but it was just cheap, but he still meticulously asked about Cao Hao's errand in Jiangnan.

Cao Hao replied respectfully, and said a few more words about what he had seen and heard in Jiangning, only to get Yongzheng's nod, waving his hand and telling him to "kneel down".

It was still early for the yamen to open, so Cao Hao rode back to Cao's mansion, slept again, and got up to go to the household yamen when the time was almost up.

When he left a few years ago, the yamen had already sealed it; The errands after the year are idle, so the accumulated official documents are not much.

Cao Hao spent half a day working hard to clean up almost completely; In the afternoon, he met a few more hondo langzhong, and the day's work was over.

When he got out of the yamen, he saw the steward Zhao An waiting outside.

Seeing Cao Hao coming out, Zhao An stepped forward and said, "Master, the old lady is at Li's house, send the little one to welcome the old man to Li's house." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He looked at the sunset and said, "Didn't Mrs. go to Li's house at noon, how can you stay until this time?" ”

Zhao An bowed and replied: "I don't know about the little one, but in the afternoon, the old lady sent people back to the house, and only said that she would go back with dinner, so that the wife didn't have to worry." ”

Huss can't solve the problem now.

Cao Hao suppressed his suspicions, and took Zhao An and a few elders to the Li Mansion.

The Li family sent someone to invite his son over, and it was indeed to discuss major matters, to discuss the inheritance of Gao Taijun's house of incense.

Li Xu discussed with his cousin that he wanted to succeed one of the grandchildren and inherit the incense of Gao Taijun's room.

In Gao Taijun's room, there is only one daughter of the Li family, and she should have succeeded a boy and inherited the incense. But Gao Taijun himself sent people under the fence, how could he still find that trouble, and the matter was put on hold.

She was young and widowed, and in addition to clinging to Li Xu, she was very unfamiliar with the rest of the Li family. But Li Xu's house has only two heirs, and Gao Taijun can't mention the inheritance at all.

Now that Gao Taijun has died, Li Xu thought about the funeral of Ming, so he mentioned the succession.

When Li heard this, he was happy at first.

For Gao Taijun and the "father" who has not met, the Li family feels guilty, because he is not the Li family, but he occupies the status of the Li family's daughter-in-law.

However, the Li family also knew that no matter which of Li Nai's sons succeeded to Gao Taijun's house, he would become her nephew and Cao Hao's cousin, and the relationship would be much closer than now.

Thinking of this, the Li family felt that it was not good to make their own decisions, so they went to the yamen to pick up Cao Hao.

Cao Hao listened to these words and did not object.

For the ancients, bloodline inheritance was a major event.

If the Li family is in charge and chooses an heir for Gao Taijun's house to inherit, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a great filial piety.

Cao Hao knew that her mother was a soft-hearted person, because she was not the Li family's own flesh and blood, she always had a sense of gratitude to the Li family.

Inheritance is inheritance, Li Cheng is the son-in-law, Li Nuo is the eldest son, Li Jiao's brother wants to inherit Li Ding's branch, and the rest is Li Nai's second son Li Yu.

After a few years, Cao Hao also knows this Li Yu in his heart. It was a down-to-earth and hard-working young man, and Cao Hao didn't mind helping him two more.

Seeing that his son did not object, Li was very pleased.

Although she prefers Li Cheng more in her heart, she also knows that Gao Taijun loves Li Cheng the most. But I also know that there is no reason to be picky.

Li Xu summoned Li Yu and his wife over, instructed the two of them, and gave Li and Cao Hao a new salute, which can be regarded as finalizing the inheritance.

When the funeral is announced, Li Yu will preside over it as a filial grandson......
