Hengsheng is two years younger than Hongli, but because of his burly body, his strength is not weaker than Hongli. If you compare it to the real thing, Hongli is not Hengsheng's opponent at all.

It's just that Hengsheng has been reading with him for most of the year, and he has long known that reading with him is reading with him, and being competitive is the business of the princes and grandchildren.

Therefore, after a long time on the field, the tired Hongli was full of sweat, and the two were still in a draw.

was still watching the lively guards on the side, and when they saw Cao Hao coming over to say hello, they alarmed the two people on the field, so they stopped.

"Father!" Heng Sheng's eyes were shining, and he immediately ran over with a knife.

Although Hongli was sweating profusely and did not win Hengsheng, he felt that he was playing happily, and sighed with satisfaction, took the towel handed over by the little eunuch, wiped the sweat on his head, and then paced over and met Cao Hao.

The two are different from each other, although Hongli is only a half-grown boy, Cao Hao also wants to see each other with full courtesy.

Hongli is a favor, avoids it, and returns half a courtesy.

"Cao Elu made a special trip to find Cao Lin?" Hongli asked with a smile.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "The minister wants to return to Beijing once in the afternoon, if it is cheap, I want to bring the dog with me." ”

In the Nanyuan enclosure, it is not as good as going to the study in the palace, and Hongli and Hengsheng are very idle in their homework.

Hearing Cao Hao say this, Hongli didn't ask much, but looked at Hengsheng with a little envy.

Speaking of which, from the Holy Driver to Nanyuan, Cao Hao has a few people here, but there are several spies who come to the school. is also a son of man, but Hongli, the emperor's grandson, does not have this treatment.

In the pasture and in the royal tent, he occasionally met his father, but it was only a reprimand.

"Now, under the order of Huang Mafa, Master Xu of the Hanlin Academy, who teaches us to study in Nanyuan, is the most talkative. Cao Eyu wanted to take Cao Lin home, just say hello to him; If you don't have time, I'll tell you directly. Hongli said.

It's not that he's too busy to spare his time, so it's too frivolous to let the emperor's grandson and elder brother pass on the words. Cao Hao thanked Hongli for his kindness, but decided to go to find Master Xu by himself later.

When Hengsheng heard that his father was going to take him home, his little face turned red, and he couldn't hide his excitement. The two fathers said a few words and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, and Cao Hao left first.

The sun rises in the east, and the red morning glow adds warmth to this cold winter.

Hengsheng turned his head to look at Hongli, hesitated, and said, "Fourth master, can the slave take that Hai Dongqing back?" ”

A few days ago, it was said that Haidong Qinglai was paid tribute outside the border, and it happened that Hongli and Hengsheng were in front of the emperor, and Kangxi gave them two and one each.

Hongli listened and was puzzled: "Huh? Hai Dongqing is used for hunting, and he still needs to use it for the eighth line, what do you want to do when you bring it back? ”

Hengsheng smiled: "Take it back to show a few brothers, I saw it at my grandfather's house in my early years." Tomorrow, when I come back, I'll bring it back. ”

Hongli was speechless, not understanding that Hengsheng had made up his mind and asked him. He didn't know that Hengsheng was just a habit, who let him follow his brother since he was a child, and he was used to letting others make up their own minds.

However, looking at Hengsheng's trusting gaze, he still had a hot head and said, "Is one enough, or bring me back to you?" ”

Hearing this, Hengsheng's eyes widened, and he said, "Let me take both of them back?" ”

Hongli nodded and replied with a smile: "It's just two birds of prey, what's there?" It's just that after all, it was given by Huang Mafa himself, and he always had to show his face when hunting, so it would be good if he had a mistake. The eagle slave who waits for Hai Dongqing is a slave of our house, so let him go back with you to take care of it. ”

When Hengsheng heard this, he already felt troublesome.

If he takes a Hai Dongqing back, it is his own bird, even if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter; The other one is Hongli's, if it is not right to lose hair and pull rarity, it will drag down the parents.

"It's not going hunting, it's almost the same to have a look. The fourth master, do you need to let the slave take it back and show it to the fifth master? Hengsheng scratched his head and asked.

For others, Haidongqing is a rare thing; For the emperor's grandson Brother, who grew up in the palace, although this thing cannot be held by everyone, it is also common. Almost every royal palace has a special bird house to raise birds of prey for hunting, as well as songbirds and feather birds for playing.

Therefore, Hongli waved his hand and said: "If I remember correctly, there are still two Haidongqing in our palace, where is this ...... rare."

* Ming said that it was the banquet guest of the uncle's mansion, and with Cao Hao's status today, such entertainment was unavoidable. Therefore, he decided to go back to Beijing this afternoon, and then go back to Nanyuan Ranch after going through the motions at Uncle Guo's Mansion tomorrow.

Taking Hengsheng home with him was Cao Hao's temporary idea.

Before arranging for Hengsheng to meet the prince of the Khan, he had a lot to say to Hengsheng, which was inconvenient outside.

That Master Xu, as Hongli said, is a kind and humble person.

Regarding Cao Hao's request for leave for Hengsheng in the past, he didn't agree to any nonsense.

Therefore, after lunch, Cao Hao took Heng back to the city. The two Hai Dongqing, as well as the eagle slave who waited for the birds, had to return with their father.

The father and son were in the same car, but Cao Hao didn't know how to speak.

Hengsheng's life experience is not suitable for a child to tell it all.

The widow gave birth to a child, was hated by the old Khan, and was abandoned by the Khan princess, which is unbearable, not something that a child can bear.

But if it is a lie and deceit, there will always be a debunk.

Seeing Cao Hao's silence, Hengsheng was a little uneasy, raised his head and said, "Father...... Something on your mind......"

Cao Hao lowered his head and asked, "The masters of Bala and China are also in Nanyuan, have you seen them?" ”

Heng Sheng shook his head, a little dazed.

"He is the son of the Khan of Khalkha in Outer Mongolia, and he came to see him with the great lama, and these sons have looked for you twice, saying that they want to see you." Cao Hao pondered and said.

Hearing this, Heng Sheng's face showed neither uneasiness nor obvious joy or sorrow, but curiosity: "The master of Bara and China? Father, will he still give it away to me? ”

"I don't know." Cao Hao replied: "However, has Hengsheng forgotten to teach his father in his early years? Don't be greedy in vain, or you will become a fish that bites the hook, and let others calculate. ”

When Hengsheng heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Father taught, and son knows." ”

Ever since he had Bala and Red by his side, Hengsheng felt uncomfortable. Since he was a child, he and his brother have eaten and lived together, and any good things are shared equally among brothers.

But the gift of the Mongols was only him, and he was not happy to forget his brother. Later, although my brother was also accompanied by guards, I always felt that something was wrong, and Hengsheng's greed was also born for his family.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Cao Hao looked at such an honest and well-behaved son, vaguely guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Here in Caofu, someone sent a message in the morning.

Although Cao Hao's father and son left the house after the birthday banquet, it was only three or two, but Chu Yu still made careful arrangements, and made a special trip to order to go down and boil water in a large pot in the kitchen, so that their father and son could bathe and change clothes when they came back.

After Hengsheng asked Li and Chu Yu to say goodbye, he went back to Songyuan first.

Cao Hao returned to Wutong Garden, took a comfortable bath, and then asked his wife how the congratulatory gift from the uncle's mansion was prepared.

No matter what Li Si'er's background is, since he has become a fate, he will always have to deal with it in the future.

There is also the title of the Duke of Tong Mansion hanging, which pushes the title of the Duke of the Later Clan, and the eight achievements will fall on the head of Long Keduo. At that time, Li Si'er was promoted from Mrs. to Mrs. Guogong, which was higher than the uncle of the Cao family, even if the Li family saw it, they had to avoid it.

"According to the master's instructions, the four-color ceremony has already been prepared. The old lady also read the gift list and nodded her head. Chu Yu said.

Cao Hao remembered what he said to Yi Duli casually yesterday, and told Chu Yu about his son's family.

As soon as these four sons were corrected, her daughter became a concubine from a concubine, and her identity was very different. As long as the girls in their family let out the wind of kissing, I don't know how many strong people will come to power.

Chu Yu listened to her husband's words, and her heart was much more steady. She is a mother, and she has her own thoughts when her children are getting bigger. For the eldest wife, she doesn't want the daughter of the eunuch family, she wants to find it in the clan.

The daughters of official eunuchs are mostly drafted, and the outstanding ones are tied to the clan, and those who can marry independently are either in poor health or have flaws in appearance.

The daughter of the clan is also much better, and it is better to find a girl with a good tutor than a housekeeper.

The husband and wife gossip, Hengsheng has personally carried the bird cage to his brother's Kwai Courtyard.

These two Haidongqing are white and speckled, standing on the pillar in the birdcage, looking very cute.

Not only did God bless them with half of their size, but even Xiaoxie and Lelan also said that this bird was beautiful and spiritual, and they also took pine nuts to feed him.

Knowing that this Hai Dongqing could only stay in the house for one night, everyone was a little reluctant. Zuo Cheng volunteered to ask someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he wanted to draw a few ...... * times, which was the fifth day of the first month of November, the banquet of the uncle's mansion.

After breakfast, Cao Haojiao went to the Orchid Courtyard and waited for the Li family to go out together. Chu Yu also received a post about the banquet, but he was not fully served, so it was not good to go out and show his face.

Regarding the family affairs of the younger generation, Cao Hao greeted the Li family before leaving home, and the one with a unified voice is the one who is not suitable for early marriage with God's blessing.

Tong Mansion, the main house of the inner courtyard.

Li Si'er sat in front of the glass mirror, looked at it again and again, still felt dissatisfied, and threw away the blonde hairpin in his hand and was annoyed.

Long Keduo was beside him, drinking millet porridge and smiling as he watched his concubine dress up.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Long Keduo couldn't even eat, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Are you tired of Zhang Luo's banquet today? ”

Li Si'er shook his head and said, "It's all the subordinate minions Zhang Luo, I'm still tired." It's just that there are a lot of female guests invited today, and I'm afraid that I'm too shabby and lose my lord's face. ”

It is a shame to say that it is "shabby", this Li Si'er is up and down, not to mention that the pearls are full of brilliance, and the clothes are all good materials.

It's just that when he said this, Long Keduo had to coax a little and promised to give her two more sets of noodles to clean up.

Li Si'er was overjoyed at this time, and her eyes were full of tender whispers when she looked at Long Keduo.

Long Keduo's gaze fell on the violet jade bracelet exposed on Li Si'er's left wrist, and his expression was a little stiff.

According to the rules in Beijing, gold is exchanged for jade in April every year, and jade is exchanged for gold in October every year. Li Si'er still wears a jade bracelet in the winter moon, which is very out of place......
