Xu is Cao Shuo has always been honest and duty-oriented, Xu is Zhaojia's family has recently said that there are too many mundane affairs, and I didn't find that the second son lived in the front yard for more than half a month, and there was any change. Therefore, the inner court was very peaceful.

Chu Yu's stomach has been in the stomach for more than six months, and the reaction to the soreness is relatively strong. Although Xiao Biesheng is newly married, Cao Hao does not dare to be too presumptuous. Although he worked hard every night, he mostly helped Chu Yu rub his arms and thighs.

Because Chu Yu suffered like this, the two of them were a little uneasy when they thought of Cao Yi, so they specially sent their mother-in-law over to see it. Knowing that the fetus was very good over there, there was no big reaction, and the husband and wife were relieved.

Cao Hao pondered, and after a few days, he looked for a son and went to Jueluo Mansion. According to the customs of Beijing, this daughter married and gave birth to her first child, and her grandfather had to prepare a rocking car.

Now, although Cao Quan is not there, Cao Hao remembers it. Thinking of the scene when Cao Yi had a dark face and fed him steamed buns, he told himself that he wanted to ensure that this sister was happy and healthy.

This said, when he arrived at the Yamen of Taifu Temple, Cao Hao was a routine business, the instructions of the instructions, and the seals of the seals.

Every year, the Holy Driver leaves Beijing in early May, but this year it is scheduled for mid-April, so the horses and chariots required have been trained and checked.

Wang Jing has been here for a long time, and he knows that Cao Hao's position is unshakable, and he is also a lot more settled. He is in charge of several offices under the Taifu Temple, and he manages it carefully, and he has a lot of work, and he no longer picks people here and that in a weird way.

Tang Zhiyu is still the same, diligent throughout the whole day, like a big nanny in the yamen inside and out.

Only Yiduli is the most idle, this Taifu Temple Shaoqing is originally a job, but there are two shortages. Although he also has a department in charge of his name, they are the kind of departments that don't do anything for a month. Every time he came to the Yamen, he really went through the motions and mixed up.

Today, he was a little unstable, so he walked in front of Cao Hao when he had nothing to do, and he was mysterious.

Cao Hao asked him what was wrong, he just laughed, and said that he was out of the yamen.

Cao Hao wondered in his heart, wouldn't it be better to show off, it's been more than a month.

Because it is April, the beginning of summer, the time of the fall in this yamen is different from the past. In winter and spring, when it is not at the beginning of the afternoon (one o'clock in the afternoon), like Cao Hao, several of them can leave at noon. Xia and Autumn will not be able to leave until the beginning of Youchu (five o'clock in the afternoon), and even if Cao Hao and the others leave early, it will only be half an hour in advance.

Yi Duli scratched his ears and cheeks, and waited until the next day, when he saw that the affairs of the yamen were finished, and there was no need to spare any more, so he pulled Cao Hao out.

Seeing him so urgent, Cao Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "What is it that makes adults like this?" ”

Yi Duli laughed so hard that he summoned the chief to wrap it in plain satin and said, "Fu Ruo, I gave you a heavy gift as a concubine, so I thought about finding a gift for you." I know that you have the ability, and you are much more generous than me, and those worldly rituals are just formalities, and they can't express my heart. Here, it is a rare thing, sent to Furuo, you can also cultivate your surname, save you from being young, and you will not be relaxed when you look at it! In the end, he couldn't help but smile, took the package from the chief's hand, and handed it to Cao Hao in person.

Cao Hao saw him smiling strangely and asked, "What is it, what can show the true heart of an adult, I have to take a good look at it!" With that, he opened the package.

Yi Du Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a somewhat smug smile: "If Fu Ruo is rude, how can anyone look at the gift directly in front of people?" We'll see when I get home, this is a baby, and you'll thank me! ”

Seeing him like this, Cao Hao didn't want to open the package first, but he felt that it was a big wooden box inside, very heavy, and there had to be a five-pound and eight-pound one, but he couldn't guess what it contained.

However, Cao Hao saw that Yi Du was standing in the yamen and did not mention it, and avoided Tang Zhiyu, a square gentleman, which shows that it is not easy to mention the things here in public.

Thinking of a few days ago, I accidentally saw Yi Duli sending someone to buy tiger whips and deer whips, and Cao Hao's expression was a little stiff.

The person in front of me will not feel that he has obtained something good, and he should find someone to share it with. However, where can Cao Hao compare with him?

He has a wife and concubine at home, and there is a heart in the outer house, which is physically exhausted, and he needs to be supplemented.

Cao Hao only guards a big-bellied daughter-in-law, and she has already suffocated her nosebleeds every once in a while, if she makes up for it, there will be a big incident.

When he returned to the house, Cao Hao took his burden and went to the study, thinking that if it was really an aphrodisiac thing, he would borrow flowers and offer Buddha to Mr. Zhuang, saving the two little masters and mothers from being unbearable.

Coincidentally, Mr. Zhuang used the next meal, and was out for a walk, when he met Cao Hao.

"What's this good stuff? What a big bag! Mr. Zhuang put his hands behind his back and looked at the package in Cao Hao's hand with a smile.

Cao Hao smiled: "This hasn't been opened yet, the gift given by Yiduli is not a thing that Mr. can use!" ”

"Oh, old decay?" When Mr. Zhuang heard him say this, he was a little curious.

While talking, the two arrived at the study, and Cao Hao unwrapped the package with a smile and opened the box.

It was not filled with tonics, but with a box full of books.

Cao Hao was quite surprised, and took a copy casually, which said "Flower Album", but it was a book that he had never read. He found a few more books, such as "Lin'er Daily", "Yin Feng Xiao", "Cursed Jujube", and "National Color and Heavenly Fragrance", but there are familiar titles among them, and naturally the famous "Golden Vase Plum" is indispensable.

In the early years of Jiangning Ethnology, those older classmates privately passed on to see these things.

Under the book, there are some thin pamphlets, but when they are opened, they are the spring palace with delicate paintings.

Mr. Zhuang saw it on the sidelines, and couldn't help touching his beard and laughing: "This is what old decay should be used?" ”

Cao Hao smiled and shook his head, he really couldn't imagine how Yi Duli could think of sending these. Could it be that he now loves the art of the room, and compares his heart to his heart, so he thinks that others are like this?

Mr. Zhuang remembered something, put away the smile on his face, thought for a moment, and said, "Could it be that this court is going to issue [***] orders again?" ”

"[***] Order?" I don't know why, when Cao Hao heard this, he remembered the "Nanshan Collection" case the year before last, put down the book in his hand, and his heart became heavy, and asked, "Is it another literary prison?" ”

"Probably not!" Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said: "Today's good name has always been to govern the country with 'benevolence and filial piety', and the case of the year before last was just a pretext, not to attack Shilin." Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe we have been thinking about it a lot, and we can't afford to just be an ordinary ban." Now that Iduli can get the news, that's the matter of these two days! ”

"I hope so!" Cao Hao sighed and said.

Mr. Zhuang's expectation is true, the next time, the small court, Kangxi told the Ministry of Rites: If you want to correct people's hearts and thick customs, you must advocate scriptures, and it is not a holy book. This is not easy to understand. Recently, I have seen that there are many novels sold in the market, which is absurd and slang, which is not justified. not only tempts the foolish people, that is, gentlemen, but also inevitably wanders and deceives the heart. All the customs are not detailed, and they should be strictly forbidden. How to destroy his books, how to ask the market sellers, Jiuqing Zhan Shi Kedao Conference to play.

Cao Hao, the Taifu Siqing, is also one of the Nine Qings, and he also participated in a meeting of the Six Ministries and Nine Qings. Of course, this is a matter of education, or is it mainly based on the opinions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, supplemented by the Ministry of Punishment, and the officials of the other yamen are just going through the motions.

After the collegiate discussion, the six Jiuqing decided on the script, that is, "Fanfang sells a novel in the market, and handed it over to the Eight Banners Metropolitan Commandery, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Shuntian Mansion in the capital; Those who are in other provinces will be handed over to the governor, and the civil and military officials who change their careers will be strictly investigated and prohibited. The engravings were destroyed along with the books. If he still engraving, he will be dismissed from office; Soldiers and civilians, a hundred rods, three thousand miles. and the marketman, a hundred rods, three years. If the official fails to find out, he will be fined six months for the first time, one year for the second time, and demoted to one level three times. ”

The servant of the ministry handed over the sign, sent the book to the front of the emperor, and allowed it.

Although the rest of the affairs of [***] are all the affairs of the Yamen of Shuntianfu and the Yamen of the infantry army, Cao Hao did not see it in person, but he can also imagine the situation of chickens and dogs jumping in the major bookstores in the capital.

For those silver novels and books, Cao Hao is also in favor of banning with both hands. After all, he has several younger brothers in his own family, all of whom are half-grown children. For men and women, if they had not been enlightened by these things, they would not be like this.

However, for "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" are also listed as [***], Cao Hao is a little speechless.

"Water Margin" is about uprising and rebellion, which is not in line with the education of the imperial court, and if it is banned, it can be touched. "Journey to the West" is a mythological novel, but from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, it has been on the [***] list of the imperial court every time.

However, this also reminded Cao Hao that not only in the city should be [***], but also in his own family should be "harmonious" and "harmonious", but there are several teenagers.

When he returned to the mansion, Cao Hao came to Cao Song and explained one thing to him, swept the study rooms of Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang, and searched out all the novels that were not suitable for teenagers.

Cao Song took his own orders and went majestically and highly.

Cao Hao remembered Yi Duli's gift, picked out a few of them that he hadn't read, and planned to take them to the backyard to make bedside books.

He is indeed a double standard, whoever made him an adult, those two are teenagers. In addition, he also found two books of Spring Palace with excellent paintings, and planned to take them to read with Chu Yu, and it would be good to add some boudoir fun.

After a while, Cao Song turned around, but his expression was not proud, and he only had a few thin copies in his hand.

Cao Hao stood up and took it, and there were only three copies in total, which was a little strange, and said: "That's all, it's strange, Songyuan and Liuyuan have been there?" ”

Songyuan is Cao Shuo's residence, and Liuyuan is Cao Xiang's residence.

Cao Song scratched his head and said, "Well, the two courtyard brothers have gone, so I turned out these three books!" It's okay, these two boys are pretty good! ”

Cao Hao was a little unconvinced, and said: "But I have checked carefully, these books are not on the bookcase, maybe they are hidden under the bedside case!" ”

Cao Song said with a smile: "Brother, my brother has also hidden these books, where can I rest assured that there are numbers, and all the places that can be hidden have been turned over!" The fourth child is still young, and the third child is a nerd, even if there are a few copies of this book, they have not avoided people, and they have turned to it as soon as they turn it! ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "It's good to find it clean, they are still young, it is really useless to look at these things, and they are still distracted and delay their homework!" ”

Cao Song hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Brother, my brother also has it over there, do you want to find it too?" ”

Cao Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "When you are older, even if you don't read, it is still a trouble-free age, why do you still make these forms?" You just have to remember that you're the older brother, no matter what, and there are younger siblings watching down there. ”

Cao Song nodded solemnly and said, "Brother, my brother knows, and I will be a responsible person in the future, so as not to disappoint my brother, and not to let my younger brothers and sisters be ashamed of my brother!" ”

Cao Hao was very pleased to see that he was sensible, and said: "I don't ask you to shine on the lintel, support the door, and be an upright person!" ”

The two brothers gossiped a few more words, and the two left the study and went back to their respective homes.

Chu Yu was uncomfortable and was crooked on the soft couch outside. Seeing Cao Hao coming back, she wanted to get up to greet her, but Cao Hao stepped forward to support her, and said: "Since it's uncomfortable, you just lie down, is it possible that if you don't get off the ground, I won't be able to change my clothes?" ”

Chu Yu smiled: "I've been lying down for a while, and I want to move on the ground!" ”

Cao Hao looked at her bulging belly and said, "This is bigger than when Huai Tianyou had a belly, I can't complain that you are uncomfortable, are you cramping again today?" ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "I smoked it twice after lunch, just let Xiyun rub it for me!" ”

Cao Hao was a little uneasy, and said: "It's not a matter if it goes on like this, Ming'er will ask the imperial doctor to take a look and see if it is necessary to make up for your body." ”

Because it was related to the heirs in the womb, Chu Yu didn't dare to be contemptuous, so he nodded and said yes......*
