Chapter 1360 - The Rite of Passage (II)
The Cao family has been in the flag for many years, even if it is said that a lot of Han rites have been retained, but the rites can be simplified into complex, but they are not so cumbersome, and only one plus is left.
Concubine Mi is the guest of honor at the ceremony, Tianhui's aunt Borzigit is the secretary, Niuniu is the praiser, and the tide is full of fun.
The auspicious time is approaching, and Tianhui, the protagonist of the ceremony, surrounded by several sisters of the same generation, came to the main hall of Fuyuan Hall.
The young woman's equipment is Tianhui's cousin Sun Xian and cousin Li Xiangyu, the two cardamom girls are cousins Langchao and Langyu, and a teenage girl is the daughter of the Borzigit clan.
After greeting the elders, the tide receded to the side and sat down behind the piano stand.
The Li family was the host, Concubine Mi was the guest of honor, and everyone presided over the ceremony for Tianhui.
After the ceremony, it was time for dinner.
Chu Yu arranged the banquet in the water pavilion in the garden, and set up several tables inside and outside, with the older accompanying Concubine Mi and the Li family inside, and the younger generation outside.
At the end of the banquet, the fruit was put on the table, and two female storytellers came up to make fun for everyone.
Although during the housewarming banquet a while ago, everyone came here more and visited the garden, but now the lotus flowers are waiting to be released, and the scenery is different.
Everyone went out of the water pavilion in twos and threes and watched the scenery outside.
Cao Yi and the fourth sister came out together and found a pavilion to sit down and talk.
The maids who followed were all sent to stand in the distance, and the fourth sister looked sad and said, "Third sister, I really can't do it...... From the eldest sister, I have said everything I should have said a few times, but look at what she means, there is no intention of saving herself at all...... The eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law are all understanding people, who can't see her careful thoughts? If it really can't go on, between brothers and sisters, who can not help? But where did the Sun family get to that point? The in-laws have recovered, and Brother Li has also been officially awarded the official, and the only way to do it is to get better. In this way, every time we meet, I cry poorly, which one can stand it? ”
Cao Yi sighed and said, "Even if the eldest sister wants to ask her mother's family for help, it shouldn't be like this today." Although the sister-in-law has a good temper, Tianhui is her top heart. Did the eldest sister encounter any difficulties? Will you ignore it like this? ”
The fourth sister remembered the conversation with her eldest sister in the back cover building, where did her eldest sister encounter any difficulties, but she was greedy for others, and wanted to cry around and pull her home.
But at home, whose silver is blown by the wind?
Wanting to give something to others is not the same as what others want.
Not to mention what other brothers and sisters-in-law think, it's her sister, who has been down twice and three times, and she is also a little impatient.
Poor people must have something to hate, perhaps the so-called "poor and short of breath".
Although the son of the Sun family is gradually getting better, because of the good son of the Cao family, the gap between the two families is getting bigger and bigger.
Among brothers and sisters, only their eldest sister is the most difficult.
But even between brothers and sisters, there is no reason to get along like this.
Among their generation, Cao Ying is the elder, not to mention the relationship with the sisters and brothers in the long room, but between the brothers and sisters in the second room, because of the big age difference, they don't get along for long.
In the end, it is her own sister, not for others, just to prevent her mother from worrying about her anymore, and the fourth sister is not easy to restrain herself.
Thinking of this, she said: "The daughter-in-law is married, and the niece is also married, what other difficulties can the eldest sister have?" It's just that the poor man is too scared, he has no money in his hands, and his heart is not steady...... can pull down his face and beat the autumn wind everywhere like this, and it really doesn't look like a ...... If we really make trouble, if you don't know, you can say that we are snobbish and don't care about brotherhood......"
Cao Yi looked faint and did not answer the words of the fourth sister.
The brothers and sisters in Dongfu are now beautiful, but she doesn't have the heart to get wet, so naturally she won't close the door to a big sibling drama.
Except for growing up with Cao Song, who has a deep relationship, how can anyone else have any feelings.
In the early years, she took care of Cao Ying many times, because they were all daughters of the Cao family. Cao Jia's identity is precious, and it is difficult to meddle; Cao Hao and Cao Song are men again. If she can help, she will do her best.
But where did it fall?
Because she knew that the twins were the descendants of the Li family, Cao Ying complained about Cao Yi, blaming her for not instigating her to sell her two aunts back then and hurt the face of her relatives.
When the fourth sister became the prince of Fujin, Cao Ying was even more confident, and she didn't dare to pose in front of others, and she also got up in front of Cao Yi.
Where Cao Yi is impatient with this, he naturally stays away.
Today, he took the initiative to get close to Cao Ying, but he was entrusted by the fourth sister, and he was unwilling to let her continue to droop her face and ruin her fun, which affected her niece's etiquette.
Seeing that Cao Yi didn't take a stubble, the fourth sister looked sneered and said, "Why don't we go to the second sister to sit down and listen to the second sister's meaning?" ”
Cao Yi didn't refuse this time, nodded and responded...... Cao Mansion and Prince Ping's Mansion are only a few hundred zhang away, I heard that the two sisters want to go to their own house to sit, Cao Jiashi didn't think much about it, and when he came out of his mother's house, he happily greeted the two sisters and returned.
Thinking that his niece and Lu will get married next year, although Cao Jiashi is a little sentimental, he is more happy.
There is a girl in my family who has just grown up, so a little bit bigger, and she has become a big girl.
Thinking of his daughter Fumin, who died young, it was inevitable that his heart would be sour.
was full of mixed feelings, listening to the fourth sister mentioning Cao Ying, Cao Jia's mood suddenly became gloomy.
She asked herself if she was not stingy, since Cao Ying and his wife went to Beijing, they can take care of what they can do; What's available?
The emperor didn't want to see Prince Ping's mansion, so Cao Ying cut off contact with this side.
When she and her husband went out of Beijing, Cao Ying pretended not to know, and she didn't show any of her faces.
Thinking about it, she herself is also weak-hearted, and she has been fighting the autumn wind in the past two years, and she has not hit Prince Ping's mansion.
Cao Jia's family saw the face of several other cousins and cousins in the second room, and he didn't want to tear his face with him, and he did face love, but he had no intention of entanglement with him.
After listening to the words of the fourth sister, she said solemnly: "The fourth sister doesn't know why the two nieces of Langchao and Langyu returned to Beijing? ”
Seeing that her cousin diverged from her words, the fourth sister was a little puzzled and said, "You know, next year will be the year of the big challenge." ”
Cao Jiashi said: "Is the fourth sister too idle, regardless of her own personality, she actually takes care of the idle affairs of her relatives?" Next year is the year of the big challenge, will Prince Yu's Mansion enter the people? If it's okay to be a person, if it's a side blessing and give birth to a son, how will you stay? Seeing that there is only one year and a few months of work left, you don't think about your own business, but worry about others? The eldest sister has both children and daughters, nephews and nephews are also carefully selected, where is there anything bad about it...... If it's not good, it's just not enough...... It's hard to fill the gap, even if we move out of a mountain of gold and silver, what can we do? ”
The fourth sister's face turned pale when she heard this, and she couldn't speak for a while, and she no longer had the heart to worry about the eldest sister's affairs...... On the side of Caofu, the guests almost left, but Niuniu stayed.
When Chu Yu sent the guests back, Niuniu had already pulled Tianhui to wait in Jiuru Courtyard.
After a day of guests, Chu Yu was also tired, and the two aunts and nephews were not outsiders, so they leaned down and quipped: "Look at the two of you aunts and nephews, you can't be separated when you get together, it's really Meng Bu Jiao......
Tianhui took the beauty fist, stepped forward, and beat Chu Yu's leg while saying, "Little aunt and daughter discuss big things......
Chu Yu was curious: "What's the big deal?" ”
Since the success of the "Neiliansheng" knife test back then, the two aunts and nephews have always wanted to do something else.
But after thinking about food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is always no too suitable, so it is put aside.
Why do you think of this again?
Tianhui pursed her lips and looked at Niuniu with a smile.
Niu Niu said: "I didn't think about this earlier...... It was only today that I remembered that my eldest brother went to Guanwai, and I thought of this stubble...... When the holy grandfather, he had to go out of the customs every year to patrol and hunt, and the princes and officials in the capital followed the Hu, and those who did not follow the Hu, there were many rewards, and there was no shortage of straight wool. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has not been out of the customs. After six or seven years, the materials stored in Beijing earlier are also similar. If you open a shop at this time, specializing in fur materials, maybe you can sell better......"
Chu Yu sat up, shook his head, and said, "It's too simple to think, although there are many straight wool materials outside the gate, there are few high-quality ones...... The high-quality materials are still transported from Guangdong and Russia by the Ministry of Internal Affairs......"
Hearing this, Niuniu and Tianhui looked at each other, and there was hesitation on their faces.
Chu Yu looked at their aunt and nephew and thought of Cao Ying.
No matter how pampered you are in your mother's house, you have to be a housewife after you go out, and it is still cheaper to have more dowry and private house.
Therefore, Chu Yu smiled and said, "This is a blow?" Although there are many wealthy households in the capital, how many of the materials may be used, I think this business can be done? ”
Niuniu and Tianhui were overjoyed when they heard this.
Chu Yu snorted lightly and said, "But how to act, you aunt and nephew should discuss it properly, don't expect the master and me...... I want to prepare for the ceremony of King Jian's mansion, and the lord is also responsible for his business, so I can't mess around with you......"
The two aunts and nephews got up and responded to the ...... * Shengjing, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
Looking at the colleagues from the Yamen of the Shengjing Ministry of Industry, Cao Hao smiled a little reluctantly.
Visually, from the court official to the judge, the average age is over fifty years old.
The Sixth Department of Shengjing was originally a deserted yamen, and most of the officials here were "assigned".
After coming over, unless you are very lucky, or you have a background in your family, you basically have no chance to move places, and you have to stay up to the age of Zhishi.
In this way, there are a bunch of old men in the yamen.
Before arriving in Shengjing, Cao Hao had a belly case on the road, thinking that the responsibility would be on the person. Dozens of flood control points will be set up around Shengjing, and manual monitoring will be arranged.
But the old, weak, sick and wasted official in front of him can survive by the river for a few days?
Even if a few of them are young and strong, it is estimated that they can be stronger, but the gap is too big.
It seems that it is still necessary to ask for an order in Beijing to see if the capital will send people over.
At the door of the government office, Yi Duli strode in, his face was very ugly......
