Cao Hao felt his temples skip a beat, and his mind unconsciously appeared in Jinghui's early years.

first fainted the little girl, then the maid who suffered from a "dumb disease", and finally became the former fiancée of Li Ding's divorce and the cousin of his in-laws.

This woman looks so weak on the outside, but she is so tough on the inside.

There is a mother-in-law with various temperaments in the second room, and there are a bunch of uncles and sisters-in-law below, but no one can pick out Jinghui's not.

Even Cao Hao, the eldest brother, also thinks of Jinghui in his heart.

When Chu Yu was pregnant with Tianyou, she had a terrible pregnancy reaction, she couldn't eat anything, and she almost had a big accident.

It was Jinghui who first made Beijing-style dumplings, and then took charge of Chu Yu's small kitchen and took care of it carefully, so that Chu Yu could get through that dangerous period.

People's hearts are long, although Cao Hao is partial to Cao Song in his heart, he does not want to wronged Jinghui, a good girl.

When Jinghui entered the Cao family, Cao Hao and Chu Yu did not regard her as a brother-in-law, but as half a sister...... Think about the two nieces again, the tide follows Jinghui, shy and quiet; Langyu has some of Cao Song's surname when he was a child, and he is delicate and lively. are all about to talk about marriage at an age, but they are bereaved by their mothers.

There is also Tianwang, who is four years old...... Langyu's age can wait until the next draft, and if the tide delays next year's draft, he will have to report his age and marry his own family.

Li Wei's eldest son, Li Xingyuan, has already entered the eyes of the emperor, and he is already of marriage age, so he will probably have grace in next year's draft.

The second son Li Xingju is also his wife, who is one year older than Langchao, and can be married.

Li Wei has no malice in his heart, but Cao Hao can't and won't accept this "kindness".

There is a holy will, the two families are not a personal feud, but in the end, the gap has been born, where is the good in-law?

Li Wei's letter has arrived in Beijing, and the people sent back by Tianyou to report the funeral will not be delayed for a few days, how can he talk to Cao Song then?

The news of Xiao'er's premature death is still hidden from him, and he still wants to wait for Jinghui to arrive in Beijing to tell him that now he ...... Cao Hao felt impetuous, and he couldn't sit still in the study, so he got up and went out.

When I arrived at the second gate, I happened to meet Chu Yu.

Seeing that her husband's face was not good, Chu Yu couldn't help but worry: "Master, is it ...... second uncle?"

Cao Song's lawsuit has not yet been settled, and Chu Yu only cares about this matter as a husband.

Looking at his wife's reduced face after entering the autumn, Cao Hao was very helpless.

Although he didn't want his wife to go through the pain of bereavement, he couldn't hide the news for a few days.

Besides, for the big things in the second room, I have to ask my wife to come forward to help prepare.

He didn't speak immediately, but the husband and wife returned to Jiuru Courtyard before he spoke: "Jinghui is gone...... The mourners estimated that they would go to Beijing in the ...... of these two days."

Chu Yu listened quietly at first, and it took a long time to wake up, the blood on her face faded, holding her husband's arm, thinking of the two years of love between the concubines, thinking of the two nieces who were only taken back to Dongfu two days ago, and Jiang Ning's Tianwang, tears fell: "Just went like this, why are you so ruthless...... What about the second brother? What about the children......"

* Such a big event, it is impossible to hide it, and you must always let the second room have a preparation. According to the rules, those who died in other places, except for those who were meritorious and important ministers of the state, and who were allowed to enter Beijing by the emperor's edict, the others died in other places, and the coffins must not be transported back to the city.

When the bereaved family returned to Beijing, they could only find a temple outside the city to stop the funeral.

Cao Song is there...... Cao Hao had a great headache, and he felt sorry for this cousin, so he invited Cao Xiang over.

Although Cao Xiang had already gotten the news, knew that his nephew had died young, his sister-in-law was seriously ill, and he also knew that God had blessed him to go south to serve his illness, he never thought that Jinghui would die of illness.

Although he was resentful of being treated poorly by his mother in his early years, he never complained about Cao Song and his wife.

For these two people, he, who is a younger brother and a younger brother-in-law, has always had respect.

There is Zhaojia's family, an elder with a surname and eccentricity, but the second room of the Cao family can be harmonious and harmonious, most of which is due to Jinghui, the eldest sister-in-law.

Seeing that Cao Xiang was dumbfounded, Cao Hao could only say: "Send people to a few temples in the west of the city to have a look, find a clean place, offer some incense, and ...... the coffin of the province in a hurry when it arrives in Beijing."

The tomb of the Cao family is in the west of the city, and the funeral place is set near there, and it is cheaper to go twice.

Cao Xiang bowed his head in response, and his voice was already choked.

Cao Hao sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can only hide these days, even if I don't mourn in the city, I should be prepared when the mourners arrive in Beijing......

Cao Hao's house is a cousin, up to the Li family, down to Tianbao, all of them are served. The Li family and Cao Hao couple, Changsheng Yi served hemp, and the generation of Tianyou and Tianhui had to serve five months of small work.

At the head of the house in Dongfu, except for the sisters who have to be filial piety for three years, everyone else is not a rod period to a small achievement.

Even the aunts and grandmothers who got married are also dressed...... The funeral letter was reported to Beijing two days later.

The one who returned to Beijing to report the news was Wu Sheng, who went south with the blessing of God.

When he returned to Cao's mansion, it happened that Cao Hao had just returned from the yamen, and he had just changed his clothes to have dinner.

Hearing that Jiang Ning was back, Cao Hao hurriedly put down his job and walked quickly to the front yard.

Although Cao Hao had already been prepared, when he saw Wu Sheng, who was dressed in plain clothes, holding a plain white envelope, his heart also hurt.

After reading Tianyou's handwritten letter, I knew the situation before Jinghui breathed.

Long before Tianyou arrived, Jinghui was terminally ill, but she was holding on. It wasn't until she saw that Tianyou had arrived and pointed to her son that she closed her eyes.

God bless people in Jiangning, the elders are not in front of them, so they make their own decisions, and after the "three", they will help the spirit to go north for funeral, and the road is by water, and now the coffin is already halfway through.

Cao Hao called Cao Fang over: "Send a message to my wife, the second wife is gone......"

Cao Fang was shocked, his face was pale, and he went to the second gate to spread the word.

Cao Hao himself, took a deep breath, and instructed Wu Shengdao: "Come with me to Dongfu, I can't say that the second master still has something to ask you......" Speaking of this, seeing that he was dusty and haggard, he didn't need to think about it to guess that this way must be a hurried trip back to Beijing, and he paused and said: "You have come back from a rush, and you have worked hard, and when you report to Dongfu, you can rest for a while......

Seeing Cao Hao's gloomy face and dark blue eyes, Wu Sheng hurriedly said: "The little one is not hard, there are many things at home, and the master needs to take care of himself...... The old and young of the two mansions still have to rely on the old man......"

If someone else says this, it is a bit overstepping.

Wu Sheng has served Cao Hao for more than 20 years, and he is his most useful steward, and what he says is from his heart.

Whether it is the master of the two mansions or the slave of the subordinate, it cannot be said that the rise and fall of honor and disgrace are all related to Cao Hao, and it is almost the same.

Cao Hao nodded, ordered someone to prepare a horse, and took Wu Sheng out.

The location of the East Mansion is not far from the Cao family's new house, and it is not close, seven or eight miles away, and it takes less than two quarters of an hour to ride a horse.

Cao Hao directly took Wu Sheng into the house, waiting for the steward to pass the message to Cao Song and Cao Xiang.

Cao Xiang knew in his heart that most of the people from the south had arrived; Cao Song didn't know this, but his cousin came to visit him, and his face was excited: "Why did the eldest brother come in person, what is the matter, it is ...... to call the younger brother over"

Cao Xiang followed behind Cao Song, his heart was heavy, thinking about the eight characters of "Happiness and Misfortune are not a single line", the eldest brother lost his official position and was sued, not to mention, he also lost his wife and children, Jiangnan is really a fierce place.

Regarding the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, he had already lost his book, and he was afraid.

Cao Hao looked at Cao Song, who was full of joy, opened his mouth, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

"Huh? What happened to Big Brother? Seeing Cao Hao's solemn expression, Cao Song's smile froze, and he whispered: "Could it be that there is news from the Criminal Department......

Cao Hao shook his head, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he pointed at Wu Sheng and motioned for him to speak.

Cao Song looked at Cao Hao's fingers, looked at Wu Sheng, who was covered with wind and frost, and couldn't help but be curious: "Isn't this Wu in charge?" Some people haven't seen you, what are you busy with? ”

Wu Sheng is the old man next to Cao Hao, and he knows the relationship between his master and the second master, and he is called a cousin, but he is actually the same brother.

And because of the similar age and growing up together, if you really want to say it, the master treats the second master, the cousin, no less than the seventh master born by his compatriots.

Thinking of the second master's current situation, Wu Sheng was also sad, knelt down and said: "Second master, the villain went to Jiangning with the uncle, the uncle sent the villain back to report the news, and the second wife left......"

Cao Song was still puzzled: "Report the news, leave...... If the second wife doesn't return to Beijing, where will she go? ”

As he spoke, he himself woke up, trembling all over, looked at Wu Sheng, and then looked at Cao Hao, who was silent next to him, his face was helpless, and he pleaded a little: "Big brother, he's lying......"

Cao Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you a child?" You have to remember that you are not only the eldest son and eldest brother, but also a father and a husband...... Don't let your siblings ...... again."

Cao Song's expression was wooden, his body staggered, and he almost fell.

Cao Xiang was staring at him, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"I'm dreaming...... I'm dreaming......" Cao Song's face was pale, his eyes were closed, he picked the corners of his mouth, and muttered: "Dreams are all reversed, hehe, I'm dreaming......"

Cao Xiang's eyes were red, and he looked at Cao Hao.

Cao Song can deceive himself, but Cao Hao, the helmsman of the Cao family, can't deceive himself.

"Hang white, report the funeral." Cao Hao said softly.

Cao Xiang nodded, helped Cao Song, placed him on a chair, and wanted to go down and command.

Cao Song's eyes widened suddenly, and he grabbed Cao Xiang's arm: "Where are you going, you are not allowed to go?" ”

Cao Xiang choked up and said, "Second brother...... Think about a few nieces and nephews, don't let the second sister-in-law worry......"

Cao Song blinked and said, "My lawsuit can't be delayed until the Wanshou Festival, it's over, what else is your second sister-in-law worried about?" ”

He understood now.

Cao Hao raised his head and looked at the carved beams, his eyes were also moist...... When the inner house got the news, the children and their subordinates changed into mourning clothes, and Cao Song was obsessed with opening his eyes for a while and closing his eyes for a while.

Everyone cried, Zhao Jiashi was helped out, and when he saw Cao Song in a daze, he stepped forward tremblingly, hugged Cao Song, and howled: "My hard-working son...... My good daughter-in-law......"

Cao Song quieted down at this time, and tears fell "ba" and "bada...... At this time, Chu Yu helped Li Shi and arrived with a few small ones...... Outside Cao's house, the white paper door was pasted and white lanterns were hung.

Several aunts and close relatives who went out received a funeral letter from Caofu that night......
