VIP Chapter 721 Shangshou (II)

Reborn in the last year of Kangxi, Chapter 721, Shangshou (II)

The sixth elder brother did not go to Cao's house. But he came out of the palace with Cao. Two or four elder brothers' mansions went up. Today, October 30. Except that it was Lee's forty-sixth birthday. It's still the thirty-ninth birthday of the fourth elder brother. Because it is still in the filial piety period. Therefore, the palace did not entertain guests.

The sixteenth elder brother wore a white robe. It is taboo to Cao's house. It's nothing to the Yongwang Mansion. Because the fourth elder brother, who is also the sibling of the eighth elder brother. Follow the rules. also have to keep filial piety for the eighth elder brother.

I heard that the sixteenth elder brother and Cao have arrived. The fourth elder brother ordered someone to lead them to the living room.

"Fourth brother. Today, my younger brother and Cao are here to pay their respects to my brother. "The sixteenth elder brother saw the fourth elder brother come in. Got up from his chair and said

Cao was on the side. also followed the sixth elder brother to get up. Bow down.

The fourth elder brother waved his hand. Wake up the two of them. The guest and host were seated again. The fourth elder brother glanced at Cao. Said to the sixteenth elder brother: "The sixth brother and Cao Neng made a special trip. I am very relieved. It's just a matter of moment. I can't leave you two to eat and drink today."

The sixteenth elder brother said with a smile: "The fourth brother doesn't say it. My brother knows it, too. I'm just idle. Knowing that the fourth brother Xiu Mu spoke to the fourth brother. The fourth brother is not annoyed by his younger brother. As for Cao. I also rushed home to filial piety. Can't stay long. ”

"Really?" The fourth elder brother then responded. glanced at Cao.

A few gossips. The sixteenth elder brother looked at the clock. It's not too early to see. Fear of delay. He said to Cao: "If." You go home first. I'll have tea with my fourth brother for a while and then go back to the palace. ”

Cao sat idle and said nothing. I am about to say goodbye. He got up. Say goodbye to my brother.

The fourth elder brother called a housekeeper. Ordered Cao to be sent out of the house.

The sixteenth elder brother held the tea cup. Forget about the floating tea inside. There was no squeak for a while.

The fourth elder brother looked sad when he saw him. Some of them said, "What's going on?" Stuck in a dilemma? ”

Brother Sixteen frowned. Nodding. Hesitated. Said: "Fourth brother." I'm seeing Cao now. I'm almost stunned when I want to kick him. ”

I don't know. The relationship between the sixteenth elder brother and Cao is good.

From relatives. their cousins; Speaking from the in-laws. The sixteenth elder brother is Cao's uncle and father-in-law. plus the two were classmates back then. It's a deep friendship.

Although there are rules in the court, the prince and brother do not make friends with courtiers. But these years have not hindered the closeness of the sixteenth elder brother and Cao.

Okay. How do you think of this?

The fourth elder brother listened. It's a bit of a nodium. Raised eyebrows. "What?" Cao sinned you? ”

The sixteenth elder brother propped up his chin. Finish. glanced at the small servant standing outside the door. looks like he wants to say and stops.

The fourth elder brother waved his hand when he saw this. Beat everyone far away.

The sixteenth elder brother sighed at this time. Said to the fourth elder brother: "Fourth brother." Although Cao is our son-in-law. But from the beginning of Eniang, I still have to call him cousin. Seven or eight years of acquaintance. Sometimes I feel really dependent. He is willing to seek out an idea of everything. What if...... If this is Mrs. Cao, she is really a royal bloodline. Whether it is the daughter of the king of Bo. Or the princess of the imperial father. Isn't Cao all our nephew? I, who was an uncle, treated my nephew as a watch for all these years. What is this called? He shouldn't have been kicked twice. Resolve hatred? ”

These dusty pasts. The fourth elder brother knows something in his heart.

Listening to the sixteenth elder brother speak with childishness. He couldn't laugh or cry. said with a straight face: "Sixteenth brother." Be cautious. How can you believe these words? ”

The sixteenth elder brother touched his chin and said, "Fourth brother." Do you think your brother is convinced? What if you don't believe? Except for the accident at the beginning of the month, I heard that the queen mother gave the Cao family a reward. There are also relics of the Empress Dowager. The Queen Mother is an old man. These granddaughters and granddaughters-in-law. Who has this decency? It is a few Fujin on the Fifth Brother's Mansion. I have never had such love. Again. A few of the mothers. Which is vegetarian? These two days. Mrs. Cao's birthday. The lords of the palace are not one or two. "Sixteen elder brother said this. Brother knows. It's just that there are some things that the sixth elder brother said. The fourth elder brother said no. Seeing that the fourth elder brother was silent. The sixteenth elder brother said: "Fourth brother." My brother really couldn't figure it out. How much hardship does the emperor Ama or Bo Wang have? Let the royal blood flow to the people? This rumor has a nose and an eye. But I can't help but scrutinize......"

See the sixteenth elder brother on this heart. The fourth elder brother's expression sank. Said: "Sixteenth brother." Regardless of the truth. It is the emperor Ama who proclaimed the world. The sixteenth brother also has no extraneous branches. Otherwise, it will only be the Cao family who is in an embarrassing situation. The sixteenth elder brother said in a low voice: "My brother is just curious. Lian Eniang mentioned her aunt. It's all respectful. I'm afraid it's not out of nowhere......"

Cao Fu. Ranin. Upper room.

The house was burning. Li sat on the edge of the kang. smiled and followed Cao Ying and Cao Yi to gossip. Don't praise Cao Ying's daughter for being cute. I chatted with Yi Nian for two more sentences.

Cao Yuan wanted to take Brother Shou's mother's family. But because of the cold weather. Brother Shou has a little cough these days. So I didn't dare to toss him.

Ying and Sun Jue's eldest daughter. His nickname is Dan'er. He is seven years old. Wearing two rings. Wearing a small silver-pink cheongsam. It looks very well-behaved and cute.

Cao Yi's side. With a smile on his face. I already felt that something was wrong. When I was thinking about the birthday gift. Cao Ying's side is gold and jade. The surface is decent. But it doesn't look like his own family.

Ying's side. I regret it in my heart. has begun to complain that her husband is not sensible.

Cao Yi's mother-in-law's house is the state mansion. is more than one cut higher than the Sun family; Speaking of intimacy. She was raised by the Lee family. Cao Ying's side is just the niece in the next room.

It's still the case from previous years. The Sun family's side should also be an example of previous years. Just send some serving. You have to make a big deal about this.

Fortunately. Zhao Jia's hasn't come over yet. Otherwise, I don't know what to be angry about.

I heard that the two aunts and grandmothers were back. Chu Yu came over to talk. Wait for Cao Ying's gift to come out. Chu Yu knew that this was the handwriting of the brother-in-law of the Sun family.

These two years. The Sun family gave gifts. Come heavier and heavier. Chu Yu, who was making trouble, was a little confused......

Dongfu. Inner Courtyard.

Zhao Jiashi wore a new blue-faced straight-haired cheongsam. The outer side is covered with a light blue one. It looks very elegant. She sat at the dresser. Bow down to the mirror.

See the yellow smoke stains on it. She couldn't help frowning. He turned back to Hongmei and said, "Bring the green salt." I'm going to wipe my teeth. ”

Jinghui stood aside. It's already neatly dressed. Waiting for my mother-in-law to set off together.

News came from Xifu that the eldest girl and the third girl had returned. It's been half an hour now. Zhao Jia's side cleaned up for a long time. Haven't packed it up yet.

For a while. Red Plum brings up the green salt. Zhao Jiashi wiped his teeth in the mirror for a while, and looked better. before tidying up. Brushed his sideburns. Get up from the stool.

"Do you want to bring the Heavenly Protector over?" Zhao Jia's is asking Jinghui. It's like talking to yourself. Don't talk about it. She shook her head. Said: "I don't bring it." If you cry. It's weird and upsetting. ”

Talking. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the ......

But he said that Cao came back from Prince Yong's mansion. Passing by a Daoxiang village on the side of the Drum Tower. With the mother's custom-made longevity peach. And he reined in the reins. Make people come over and ask

According to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper came over and took it away.

Caojia West Mansion. Ranin.

Cao Yi said a few words to Li and Chu Yu. His eyes fell on the plates of longevity peaches resting on the table.

"This peach. It's a peach," she said, in disbelief. Get up from your seat. Go over to the table and take a look.

"Naturally, it's a peach this winter. And fresh peaches can't be? Li said with a smile.

"It's like it's real from a distance. It's white. It seems that you can still smell the fragrance of peaches...... "Cao Yi approached." I couldn't help but pick up a peach. Put it on the nose and sniff. He was surprised: "It's really peachy!" ”

"Really? Take it over, I see, this is the Korean cabinet sent in the morning, I haven't had time to take a closer look. Lee listened. It's also a bit of a novelty.

Cao Yi picked up the plate and walked to the kang. It rests on the kang table.

Lee lowered his head. Smelled. Said: "Although it is not thick. But it does smell like a peach. This Han shopkeeper. It's a bit of a real skill. This is a lot of work. It's one of the best. ”

Dan'er is a child after all. People talk about eating. His eyes were glued to the plate of longevity peaches.

No, Cao Yi looked dazzling. This longevity peach sells very well. The height is white and tender at the bottom. The top is a light flush.

Li saw Dan'er looking at Shou Tao. Just pick one up. Delivered to her. He smiled and said, "Good boy." Help grandma taste it. It's not peaches. ”

Dan'er didn't reach for it. Turn your head. He looked at his mother behind him. Wait for Cao Ying to nod. She just took the peach from Lee's hand. Took a small bite. Then he nodded. Said: "Grandma." It smells like a peach. Sweet ......"

"Really? That Dan'er is delicious. Li stroked Dan'er's head. Said with a smile.

Cao was on the side. Look at that longevity peach. It took a while to look away. Turning his head and asking Chu Yu, "Sister-in-law." Is this from Daoxiang Village? I hadn't heard of it earlier, whether it was for my own use. Or salute. That's all good stuff. ”

Chu Yu shook his head. Dao: Now. The shop doesn't have this yet. A few days ago, I was thinking about customizing some longevity peaches for my wife. It just so happens that the family has peach juice from Zhuangzi. I sent it to the shop. made these. There was little rain this year. There are many peach trees on top. It's not good to pour. So the harvest is small. In addition to winemaking and preserved fruit. I made a few jars of peach juice. It's all gone. Stay until next year's fruit season. Be prepared. Yes, there is. ”

Cao Yi listened. He said regretfully: "It's a pity. If there is still this. The designated ones are better than the five dumplings. ”

Shopkeeper Han also said the same. She came here on purpose. In addition to paying his wife's birthday. I just want to ask about peach juice. But it's not in a hurry. We can only wait for next year. Chu Yu said.

Li saw that Cao Yi was interested in Shou Tao. Said: "Although there is no one for sale outside." But there are coins at home. I'll ask someone to put some on for you later. Give it back to the in-laws and Shou'er to taste. ”

Cao Yi heard this. Pulled Lee's arm. Jiao said: "It's still the mother who loves her daughter the most......"

"How old. Also coquettish. Not afraid of jokes from your sisters-in-law? Li groped Cao Yi's shoulder. Said with a smile.

Chu Yu and Cao Ying were on the side. They all laughed out loud.

Outside the door. Zhao Jia's face. But it is cloudy and sunny. Almost angry.

Even if the Li family raised Cao for a few years. This Cao is also the bloodline of the second room, but he has climbed a high branch. I don't know the roots. also called Li as his mother one by one.

Shizue stood aside. Xiao's mother-in-law's heart disease. coughed and told the maid to pass the word. I heard that the second wife and second grandmother of Dongfu are here. Li and Chu Yu are still good. Cao Ying and Cao Yi both smiled.

Except for Lee's. Everyone in the room stood up. Salute to Zhao Jia's family.

Zhao Jia's complexion was good. smiled and nodded to everyone, and then went to Li's side. Squatted down. said: "It's time to pay my sister-in-law's birthday." May my sister-in-law live a long life. Every year there is today. There are years and years. ”

Lee got up

Zhao Jia's hand to the side and sat down. "Okay." Isn't it all about making trouble? ”

Between words. Jing Hui also stepped forward to bow to the Li family. Later, I met my sister-in-law and two eldest sisters.

Zhao Jiashi suppressed his anger. He glanced at it coldly. Cao didn't look at her. whispered to Jing Hui next to him.

Although Zhao Jia's heart hated. But there was no chance to have a seizure. I just feel depressed.

On the kang was a birthday gift sent by Cao Youying, and Zhao Jiashi didn't pay attention to anything else. His eyes fell on the golden Buddha. This golden Buddha is more than a foot high. Even if the middle is hollow. It also used dozens of taels of gold.

Nowadays, the gold in Kyori is not ordinarily expensive. It is the Cao family who made a big decision to Dong. Gold jewelry used. They are all dissolved with the gold of the house.

Zhao Jia's own thoughts about a golden Buddha. But there is no money to give.

Now. She looked at the gold. But he only felt that his eyelids were in the way and he smiled and said, "Oops." This golden Buddha is the birthday gift of the Duchess of the Kingdom? In the end, the identity. Extraordinary shots. It's really filial to treat my sister-in-law. "Between words. Glancing at Cao. Turning his head to Cao: "You also learn a little more." If you don't have such a small family, even if you can't send gold utensils and send some other furnishings, it's good to have two sets of clothes. Weird shabby. Even if your aunt is different, you shouldn't be so unsatisfied. ”

Where will Cao Yi care about her. The expression was pale. And don't interject.

Alongside. Already white-faced. Biting your lip and lowering your head. Don't dare to tell.

Li was afraid that he had wronged Cao Ying. Busy said: "My brother and sister are mistaken." The garment was sewn for me by the third girl. Golden Buddha. It was sent by the son-in-law with all his heart. I just said her. They are a young couple living in Beijing. There are many mouths at home. Why bother? ”

Zhao only thought he had misheard. Shaking his head, he said, "Sister-in-law is confused, right?" Grandson-in-law's spleen. It seems that he can give a golden Buddha; It's still over there in the Guogong Mansion......"

"It's not confused. The three girls sew clothes for me every year. You can't go wrong with that. Li said.

Zhao Jia laughed twice. Looking at my daughter. His eyes were almost on fire.

Chu Yu has been watching from the sidelines. Seeing that the Zhaojia clan is not good. He said, "Too." Look at the hour. It's almost time for Fujin to arrive. The daughter-in-law sent people to the second gate to ask? ”

Lee looked up at the table clock. It's already early (1 p.m.). Nodding his head, he said, "Yes." It's time to arrive, too. People ask. ”

Chu Yu's side. I haven't had time to give orders. Then I saw a daughter-in-law come and say, "Madam." Grandmother. The third aunt has arrived. The uncle accompanied him to talk in the living room. Fu Jin and the prince also arrived. The uncle and the third aunt greeted each other at the door. ”

Lee listened. Led the congregation. Go to the second gate to welcome Cao Jia's family.

Hit this fork. Zhaojia, it's not good. She glared at her daughter fiercely. Very sad.

It is said that the daughter is the mother's little padded jacket. This is big for yourself. But it's a wreck. There is no cousin's cleverness. He is cowardly as a mouse. Listen to your husband in everything.

Even if the Sun family's kid is powerful. She shouldn't be like that for her daughter. Isn't this a knife in the heart of a mother...

Parvis. Living room.

Cao invited Ersu and Setu to sit down. Bring tea to someone. Because everybody is busy. So sit together and talk.

Ersu was a little blessed. smiled and said to Cao: "Didn't you say that you are going to the hot spring Zhuangzi in the house here?" When does the trip depart? Your sister is clamoring to go, too. Now he is waiting for the holy car to leave the Beijing to worship the mausoleum. Let's go to Xiaoyushan to soak in the hot springs. ”

"I was expecting to go in the middle of the month. Something was delayed. Father's meaning. is also waiting for the holy car to go out on patrol. Then go to Changping to stay. Cao replied. Although our palace is closer. But there are only two springs. Or do you have a good eye. The ones that are farther away from the palace are all bought by you. A few days ago. I was asked by others. You can't sell it. He is willing to exchange Fangshan's good and son. Ersu said.

This morning, Cao Tong Chuyu decided to buy it. Listened to Ersu's words. Cao pondered for a moment. asked, "Is it my brother-in-law's acquaintance?" ”

"Beizi Lubin. My own uncle. Narsu replied.

Cao nodded. "That's right. Then change it. It's just that the side ones sold a lot. There are a few pieces left. The springs and locations are level. Ersu smiled: "In the past two years, the Internal Affairs Office has been in the cultivation palace over there. Those with springs have long been divided up by the princes' mansions in the capital. You're willing to change it. He should burn incense. Where is the surplus he picks? ”

Speaking of Xiaotangshan's. He turned to Setu and said, "Do you cultivate Zhuangzi over there?" If so. Just talk to me. ”

"Thank you, big brother. We won't fix it. Mother doesn't like to go out of town. The population of the province is also small. Earlier, the government had a village in the sea. These two years have also been repaired neatly. That's enough. Seshtu said.

He said so. Cao didn't say anything more. It's Ersu. Xiao Xiaotangshan's value. See that Seshtu is not greedy. A smile was added to his face. A few people were talking. I heard footsteps in the courtyard. Immediately, there was someone outside the door: "Uncle." The eldest aunt is here. ”

Although Cao doesn't like Sun Jue's character. But for the sake of the Sun family and Cao Ying. I had to get up and go out to greet him.

Sun Jue was just outside the door. Look at Cao out. Clenching your fists. Said: "The official business is complicated. My brother-in-law came late. No wonder, no wonder......"
