In the blink of an eye, on the nineteenth day of the lunar month, the yamen in the capital were sealed.

Cao Hao was about to leave Beijing and invited Yongqing and Ma Jun to get together. Because of some days ago, Yongqing had something to do in Beijing, and several friends have not yet reunited.

Old friends get together, raise a glass and drink together, in addition to the current situation, the rest is the affairs of children.

After the brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng "recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors", their household registration did not move out, and they were still on the side of the Cao family. According to the law, if the flag man does not marry, Ma Jun's eldest daughter must find a flag man to naturalize, so that no one will find a mistake.

After all, Cao Hao and Ma Jun also have some identities now, and they can't be attacked because of their children's relatives.

So, Yongqing took the initiative to recognize Xiangjun as a righteous daughter and transfer Xiangjun's household registration to Wanyan's family.

If the court officials from the Han people jump to a high position, most of them will be given birth and enter the Han military flag; If you do not enter the Han military flag, if your children marry with the people in the banner, you should use this method, which is a common means of marriage among the powerful in the capital.

It's just a formality, nominally not violating the law, or preparing for marriage in your own home.

Yongqing was a little drunk, and when he heard the marriage between Xiangjun and Zuo Zhu, he said to Ma Jun: "I don't have this false name, I don't care how much dowry you prepare for my eldest niece, my father-in-law will never marry a girl empty-handed." ”

Ma Jun knew his kindness, and said with a smile: "Then prepare a lot of gold for you, and in the future, I will be tight, and I will look for my daughter and son-in-law to fight the autumn wind!" ”

Yongqing shook his head and said: "How can gold and silver last long, a few days ago, I asked my second child to buy a small village and make rouge fields for Xiangjun." ”

When Cao Hao and Ma Jun heard this, they were quite moved.

It can be called a village, not to mention hundreds of acres of land, and now the price of land in the capital is not low. It's nothing to be a rich family like Cao Hao, but for Yongqing and Ma Jun, this gift is a bit heavy.

But several people have been friends for half their lives, and it's not good to grind and chirp for this.

Ma Jun pondered for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the eldest nephew of the Shanyu family is also fourteen years old this year......

Yongqing nodded and said with a smile: "That stinky boy, who is tall and doesn't have long eyes, is now as tall as me." ”

Cao Hao and Ma Jun listened and couldn't help it.

Yongqing and the two of them are not happy people, and the son who was raised is down-to-earth and steady, and he is a good teenager.

Ma Jun put down the wine cup and said, "If Shanyu doesn't dislike it, let's give birth to each other, how about it?" ”

Yongqing listened, but was stunned.

He is now the deputy commander of the Zheng Sipin, and he is at the same level as Ma Jun's Shaoqing of Dali Temple. But he was affected by the fourteenth elder brother, and he did not have a sacred heart, so he was idle at home. Even this four-grade official position, Cao Hao came forward, asked someone to find a relationship, and it took a lot of effort to make a comeback.

Ma Jun has a good future, and after entering Beijing, he is like a fish in water, and he is designated to be promoted after his term of office expires.

Seeing that Yongqing didn't speak, Ma Jun made a straight face and said, "I have spoken, but I can't refuse." In that case, it's a slap in the face! ”

Yongqing looked at Ma Jun for a long time, Fang smiled, and said to Cao Hao: "Fu Ruo, this time I will ask you to be a big matchmaker." ”

"That's not going to happen!" Cao Hao shook his head and said, "This time, the second niece wants to be my household registration and be my daughter." Where is the father to be an iceman for his daughter? ”

Yongqing heard it and laughed and said: "Okay, good, in this way, it is in response to the joke of his youth, everyone is a family!" ”

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and they are less in a thousand glasses of wine when they are confidants.

A meal of wine was drunk until late at night, and everyone couldn't even lift the wine cup before it dispersed.

The next time, Cao Hao set off for Beijing.

Accompanying him, there is Hengsheng who asked for leave from the upper study.

Being able to go to Qingyuan and reunite with his family made Hengsheng a little excited.

Seeing that his son was interested, Cao Hao also abandoned the carriage and rode a horse to walk with Hengsheng.

In winter, the scenery is bleak, and there is nothing to see, but because of the snow a few days ago, the distant mountains are white and vast, but there is also some artistic conception.

I don't know if it was the influence of the two Mongolian guards who had been with each other for several years, so that the word Mongolian occasionally appeared in Hengsheng's speech.

Cao Hao told Hengsheng about his understanding of Mongolia one by one.

The vast grasslands, the snow-white flocks, the slave girls milking the horses, the yurts made of sheep felt. The coolness of summer, the wind and sand of spring and autumn, and the goose feather snow in winter.

Compared with the capital, it is not a rich land, but it also has its style and splendor.

Hengsheng listened carefully, and occasionally showed a yearning look, but it was more of an uneasiness.

Cao Hao saw that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hengsheng raised his head and said, "Father, I don't want to leave the capital. ”

Cao Hao frowned and said, "Leave the capital?" Is it a letter from the son, or is the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother saying something? ”

Hengsheng replied in a low voice: "It's a letter from Mongolia, saying that the old prince's health is getting worse and worse, and that one wants to send someone to take me back......"

Cao Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "If you want to go, you can go, it's not that you can't come back." As you get older, it is better to go out more and increase your knowledge than to drop your bookbag every time you enter the palace. You have to remember that you just have a few more relatives, and it is not a new one that replaces Kyori's family. ”

Hearing this, Heng Sheng's eyes brightened, and he nodded vigorously.

After going to his heart, Hengsheng's mood was much easier, and he couldn't wait to go to Qingyuan immediately to reunite with his family.

Affected by Hengsheng's return to the heart like an arrow, Cao Hao also made people speed up, and the original plan was to go to Qingyuan on the day of the new year, and the twenty-second day of the lunar month arrived.

The family was reunited, and the governor's palace was immediately a little more festive.

Hengsheng first greeted several elders, and then gave Niuniu and Zuo Cheng a blessing.

He asked for leave this time to come over to celebrate the New Year with his family, not only did people arrive, but also prepared several cars of New Year's gifts. It was only because he and Cao Hao were in a hurry to get on the road, the carriage was slow, and they arrived at Qingyuan on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month.

Two cars of their own greenhouses and all kinds of vegetables and vegetables that can be exchanged in the capital, and two cars of potted plants, are either playing with flowers and bones, or they have begun to bloom and are full of vitality.

Although the capital has already sent New Year's goods, it does not have the intimacy of Hengsheng's preparation.

Li and Chu Yu both felt relieved, and even Gao Taijun was very rare for the two pots of Wenzhu that Hengsheng was filial to.

The happiest thing is still the younger generations.

Tianyou, Zuozhu, and Zuo Cheng took Hengsheng to turn Qingyuan around, and the local flavor specialties also led Hengsheng to taste the fresh.

Hang Seng is most concerned about the Lotus Academy opposite the Governor's Palace.

The little uncle and brothers are studying there, and it was Feng Fuzi who prepared for it. If he hadn't been limited by the status of the prince's companion, he would have studied there.

After Laba, the college took annual leave. Now, in addition to the mountain chief's family, there are several servants who work in the academy, and other gentlemen and students have left the academy.

Therefore, the academy was very quiet.

For the school or something, it's all empty houses, and it's not popular, so there's nothing to look at. When they arrived at the ice of the lotus pond, the little brother was interested, and sent someone back to the governor's palace to get an ice cart and played on the ice for a while.

Hengsheng thought about the noble girl in the capital, and Dong Yue also participated in the ice frolic in the palace, thinking about Niuniu and Tianhui who were tied up in the Governor's Palace, so he proposed that Ming Yue take the two of them out.

The college was quiet, but it was not afraid of people colliding, and everyone agreed with Hang Seng's proposal.

When I went back to the Governor's Mansion, Sure enough, Niuniu and Tianhui were also very interested. Even Chu Yu was a little moved, remembering that before leaving the cabinet, he had participated in the ice frolic with his cousins.

So, Chu Yu told her husband, and the husband and wife decided to join in the fun with the children.

In the end, the two of them went with their children.

Niuniu and Tianhui were two, only when they were children, they skated on the ice in Caofu Garden, and they were quite interested in spinning tops, skates and so on.

There are family members in front of them, and there are no outsiders, so the aunt and nephew let go of their reserve, wear ice boots, and learn to skate.

In the end, it was Chu Yu who came on the stage and demonstrated in person, so that the two aunts and grandmothers could find some way.

Tianbao is still young, dressed like a bear, sitting in an ice car, pushed by several brothers in turn, "giggling" and laughing, happy no.

Even if he wears a lot, but he is young after all, everyone is still afraid that he will freeze, and they are afraid that he will not be able to sit still and fall on the ice, so they take turns to sit behind him and protect him in their arms.

Changsheng remembered the phrase "lying on the ice and begging for carp", remembered the fish under the ice, and talked to his brother.

Cao Hao also remembered the fun of smashing ice nets and fish, so he went back to the governor's palace to get an iron drill and fishing nets.

Then, Cao Hao took Changsheng and walked to a place far away from everyone's ice frolic venue, ready to start digging ice.

It was the wax moon, the ice was frozen solidly, and the two brothers were busy for half an hour before they chiseled half a foot deep.

Tianyou and Hengsheng were all attracted to take over from Cao Hao and Changsheng, and took turns to step forward to dig the ice.

After a while, the ice was finally chiseled open, revealing a half-foot-diameter surface of the water.

Everyone looked at the ice eyes and looked at each other, and no one knew what to do with the fish in the ice water next.

Cao Hao had no choice but to send someone back to the governor's palace to ask Jiang Jian.

But he found the wrong person, Jiang Jian grew up in the temple and almost became the master of the monk, where would these murderous deeds occur?

In the end, Wei Hei came forward, chiseled the ice eye wider, and demonstrated to everyone what ice water net fish is, which made the children look at it intently.

Although this Lotus Academy was only expanded at the beginning of the year, this lotus pond has been around for a long time.

If you go down this net, the harvest will be quite rich.

In addition to the half-foot-long crucian carp, the one-foot-long grass carp and carp were mixed with a black fish more than four feet long, and everyone who watched it was surprised.

Such a big fish, let alone children, even Cao Hao and Chu Yu have never seen each other a few times.

It was still Jiang Jian, who was compassionate, recited two Buddha names in a low voice, and said a few good words for this black fish.

Such a long fish, for decades, has a spiritual surname, it is better to let it go. So, the black fish was released back into the water.

Another net was laid down, and the harvest was not as good as Fang Cai, and there were dozens of fish.

Cao Hao picked a few large ones and sent them to the mountain chief, and the others were sent back to the governor's palace.

That night, on the table of the Governor's Palace, there were two more dishes: braised carp and crucian carp soup.

On the side of the head of the academy, in addition to receiving a few fish, there were also fifty taels of silver, which were sent by the governor's palace to buy fish fry in the spring of next year.

The mountain chief touched his beard, looked at the ingots of snowflake silver, and said in a low voice: "Even eating a few fish is so thoughtful, if it is not a great goodness, it is a great hypocris......y."
