Dongjiang Rice Lane, Chunwang Mansion, Stacked Fuxuan.

Listening to the smug laughter of the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao only felt that his scalp was numb, but he had to follow the arrangement of King Chunjun and follow him to pay tribute to the kings and grandsons.

King Chunjun stood up from the chair, Cao Hao remembered that his legs and feet were inconvenient, and originally wanted to take a step forward to help, but after thinking about it, he still stopped, just followed him two steps away in a regular manner, and did not look at his legs.

King Chunjun's legs were the same problems that he had fallen with Kangxi when he was on his expedition to Galdan, and he didn't need crutches, but he had some long and short feet.

Cao Hao calculated the years in his heart, at that time, the person in front of him was just a fifteen or sixteen young prince, with the imperial father and the imperial brothers on the expedition, if it was not a young man, how could the dignified prince be injured? It's also a teenager with his own ambitions! However, this is also a blessing in disguise. Among the princes of Kangxi, this one is one of the rare ones who died well. If there had been no injury from the young man, there would have been no silence for the following years, and it would inevitably be dragged into the troubled waters of the heir like other older brothers. Misfortune and blessing will eventually rely on each other.

Those princes of Baylor, no matter what they think of Cao Hao in their hearts, in this Chunjun Palace, there is also Pingjun Wang Nersu looking at it, who can still show a little displeasure uninterestingly? What's more, this family affair is a gift from Long Live Lord. Everyone naturally smiled, the elders nodded in return, and those of Cao Hao's peers hugged each other.

When Cao Hao finished the salute, Nersu was afraid that he would be bored, so he beckoned him to come over and speak. At this point, Cao Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the princes who were older than the king of Chunjun, the crown prince accompanied him in Changchun Garden, and the third and fourth elder brothers were busy with errands and could not come over until after the banquet.

Among the people at the moment, only the fifth elder brother is older than the king of Chunjun, and he needs to be accompanied by the king of Chunjun. He glanced at Cao Hao's side, and said to King Chunjun: "Old Seven, this son-in-law has picked a good one, although the Cao family has an average background, Cao Yin has a title of earl at the moment, and it will not fall to Cao Hao in the future!" Da Gege will be in the capital in the future, and under your nose, it is not much better than eating sand on the grassland! Married to the princess and county lord on the grassland, there are a few who can live a long life! ”

While he was talking, the steward came to report that Prince Yarjianga had arrived. Yaerjianga not only has a high title, but also is the same generation as the princes and has a long age, so the fifth elder brother and the king of Chunjun all stood up to greet each other.

Although King Chunjun is low-key, his popularity in the clan is good, and Yaerjiang treats him very affectionately. A few people are not much different in age, talking and laughing, but they are like close friends.

Looking at the "uncle and uncle" who was looking at the house in front of him, Cao Hao was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look at the sixteenth elder brother. Before leaving the palace, the two said that they would find out after coming here to give a gift. It just so happened that the sixteenth elder brother was also annoyed by the entertainment, and he didn't know what to say to the tenth elder brother, so he got up and came over.

After pulling King Chunjun aside, the sixteenth elder brother said that he wanted to go to Changchun Garden to see him, so he didn't stay long. Naturally, Cao Hao also has to accompany him.

King Chunjun knew that he couldn't sit still, Cao Hao was a little restrained, and his heart softened, so he nodded in agreement.

The sixteenth elder brother was pardoned, and he took Cao Hao and retreated. But he wanted to go to the play, and he wanted to wait until he heard the play before going out of the city.

As soon as he arrived at the Lion Courtyard, before he went out, he was almost knocked down by the oncoming people, and the sixteenth elder brother frowned and said, "What about rushing to the funeral?" ”

The man hurriedly made amends: "The sixteenth master forgives the sins, and the slave is so anxious that he can't stop at this time." ”

"Do you recognize me? Which one? Such a fire, do you know some rules? Brother Sixteen flicked the dust on his clothes and asked.

The man hurriedly replied: "The slave is from King Jian's mansion, and I have seen the sixteenth master in the spring." Our Fujin can't see it anymore, so the slave came to invite our prince back. ”

The sixteenth elder brother was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't complain about you like this, go quickly, don't delay!" ”

When he arrived at the stage of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, the sixteenth elder brother inquired about the drama between Yang Zimo and Liu Zidan, so he lost his interest in watching the play, and he didn't enter the courtyard, so he said goodbye to Cao Hao and took people out of the city to Changchun Garden.

Cao Hao rode on a horse and walked back home, thinking about Prince Jian's age, but he was only in his thirties, and Fujin should be like this, he was about to die, but he didn't know what the illness was. It's not that he is blind, but he thinks of himself, if history has not changed, he would also die of illness, as if he died in the capital in his twenties. What is it?

After many years of exercising when he was a child, Cao Hao's health is very good now, but he is a little uneasy after all, and he thinks about whether to ask a doctor to give him a good examination.

Before arriving at the gate of the mansion, Cao Hao saw a man wearing a new official uniform wandering outside the gate, and it happened that the person was also looking at Cao Hao and his party.

Seeing Cao Hao dismounting at the gate of the house, there was a porter inside to welcome him, but he didn't look like a hospitality. The man took two steps forward and said with a smile on his face: "May I ask if you are the eldest son of the Cao family?" ”

Cao Hao glanced at the man, but he had never seen it. At the age of twenty-five or six, his figure is slightly thin, a little frog-eyed, and his smile is a little fake. Cao Hao handed the whip in his hand to Xiao Man, and said, "It's Cao, may I ask Your Excellency?" ”

The man stretched out his new clothes, deliberately straightened his chest against the heron's supplemental clothes, and said with a smile: "Below is Hu Jiren, the head of the household hall, and today he said that in addition to visiting relatives in the Zun Mansion, he is asking to see Cao Gongzi!" ”

Although Cao Hao is reluctant to judge people by their appearance, this Hu Jiren's appearance of squeezing his eyebrows is really not very flattering. Just hearing the words "visiting relatives", he was a little surprised, how did he not know whose relative in the house was a six-grade Beijing official, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask your relatives?" ”

"My cousin is the amethyst girl in the Childe's mansion!" Hu Jiren said with a smile: "I came to see my son today, just to redeem my cousin." ”

Cao Hao frowned slightly, since he came to this world, Amethyst was in the courtyard of the old lady, and he originally thought that she was a child of the family. When the old lady died, Amethyst had nowhere to go, so he knew that Amethyst was bought from outside, and he also asked her parents and relatives, but they said that they were gone, so why did she run out of a cousin?

"Ziru is old, oh, this is Amethyst's real name, and the son must not bear to be lonely and old, he just happened to be promoted to an official, and his wife is not in Beijing, so he ransomed his cousin like this, and he couldn't bear to wronged her, so he accepted her as a second room! When the time comes, I will invite Cao Gongzi to enjoy his face and drink a glass of water and wine...... "The more Hu Jiren said, the more beautiful he became, and he almost danced with his hands.

Want to redeem amethyst for a second room? Cao Hao saw Hu Jiren's dirty appearance, and his heart was on fire, but he held back his anger and said: "The two are distant relatives? ”

Hu Jiren hurriedly shook his head: "It's not a distant relative, Ziru's mother is my aunt, and we are real aunts and cousins!" ”

"You recently arrived in Beijing? Or did you hear about Amethyst recently? Cao Hao continued to ask.

Hu Jiren said with a little pride: "The one who entered Beijing the year before last was the Jinshi of last year's spring list, and a few years ago I heard that Ziru was in Cao's house, because she was in Huguang's hometown, the road was far away, and she never had time to see her." Until recently, I found out that she was in Beijing, and I came eagerly! Speaking of this, he sighed very regretfully and said: "Before the death of my deceased mother, I missed this niece the most, and now I know that I have found her, even if it is Huangquanxia, I am relieved!" ”

Cao Hao groaned: "Since you are Amethyst's cousin, why do you still want to take her as a concubine, isn't this wronged her?" ”

When Hu Jiren heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Do I elevate her to the second room or wronged her?" Besides, where is her turn to be wronged? If it weren't for the fact that I had a marriage contract when I was young, and my deceased mother swore to let me find her before she died, how could I ask a maid to be the second room......" Before the words were finished, the person had already been kicked out, and the second half of the sentence in his mouth lingered.

He fell on all fours, got up on his hands and feet, rubbed his buttocks with his hands, and pointed at Cao Hao and said, "You, how do you kick people, I'm an official of the imperial court!" ”

Cao Hao didn't look at him, and said to the porter: "In the future, there will be a mad dog jumping in front of the door, and the big stick will break his leg first!" ”

The porter accompanied him and said carefully: "Uncle, he claims to be a relative of the Amethyst girl, and the Amethyst girl just saw him again, and the little ones are not good at picking him up directly." ”

Cao Hao heard that this Hu Jiren had already seen Amethyst, and he was a little uneasy, and he didn't know what he would do, so he told the porter not to show mercy in the future, and walked into the house quickly.

What the is this? Since there is a marriage contract, I have long known that Amethyst is a slave, but I don't care about it because "the road is far away and there is no emptiness". Huguang to Jiangningyuan, or Huguang to Yanjingyuan? What a bastard! Not to mention the betrayal of another marriage, now he dares to marry Amethyst as a concubine with a cheeky skin, Cao Hao thought of this, and really had the impulse to teach that bastard a good lesson with a stick. But for now, let's take a look at Amethyst's side first.

In the upper room of the Kwai Courtyard, everything seems to be as usual. Seeing Cao Hao come in, Amethyst was a little surprised: "Isn't it the Chunwang Mansion to eat wine?" Why did the uncle come back so early? ”

Cao Hao looked at her carefully, and saw that although she was smiling, her eyes were slightly red, obviously she had cried, and waved her hand to send the beads and a few of them went down first.

"Did you see the man?" Cao Hao asked with a little concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Amethyst shook her head slightly: "It's okay, listening to the uncle's question, it seems that I saw the slave's cousin at the door!" originally thought that relatives would never see each other again, but I didn't expect him to be able to find them. It's just that when I heard that my aunt had passed away for many years, I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, but I told my uncle to think about it, and my uncle should go outside to get a big coat! ”

Seeing that Amethyst was unwilling to continue this topic, Cao Hao didn't ask any more, thinking that he would inquire about what the kid was and see if he could find out Amethyst's other relatives along the way.

Cao Hao just changed his clothes, and Cao Song came in with a smile to say goodbye.

Seeing the happiness on his face, Cao Hao smiled and said, "Went out to drink again?" How can you be so happy. ”

Cao Song smiled: "No, I'm going to listen to the play." Ke Ziqing's "Single Whip Grabbing the Lance"! As he spoke, he started talking with his eyebrows fluttering, occasionally gesturing twice, and he looked quite good. After talking about martial arts, he remembered that it was a quick thing to fight a scoundrel today, so he also told Cao Hao.

Cao Hao heard that Baoya was dressed as a man to listen to the play, and couldn't help frowning: "I have to persuade her when I go back." There are three religions and nine streams in that place, and it is inconvenient to show your identity, what if you suffer? ”

Cao Song disagreed: "She brought people, and I haven't seen her suffer." Suddenly remembered Liu Zidan's matter, and said: "But today she also said that she won't go again, Liu Zidan, the pillar of the Sanxi class, ran away!" ”

Cao Hao remembered the one named Liu Zidan and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Cao Song talked about seeing Baoya today.

It turned out that Cao Song got out of school and followed Feng De, Feng Che, and He Lian to the Sanxi class to listen to the play.

Before they could find a seat when they entered the door, Cao Song saw an acquaintance. I saw a handsome young man standing not far away, wearing a dark six-piece brocade hat, wearing lilac satin silk eight-group arrow sleeves, a bright silver inlaid jade belt at the waist, and stepping on tiger head Panyun thick-soled boots, indescribably handsome and dignified, isn't it Bao Ya Gege who is dressed as a man?

But at this moment, Bao Ya didn't have a coquettish smile at all, but she was powdered, frowned, and glared angrily at the two scoundrels who were being twisted and pushed out by the palace guards. One of the two had apparently been slapped by Bao Ya Gege, with a slender palm print on his face.

It's not the first time Cao Song has seen such a scene, in the months when the holy driver was not in Beijing, he had met Baoya many times who came out to watch the play in the guise of a man and a woman.

Baoya really doesn't look like a boy, even if she wears men's clothes and has a soft face, because she deliberately hides her surname, and she goes in and out of the theater, she is regarded as a child by some disciples. Although she is dressed extraordinarily and brings a few die-hard palace guards as bodyguards, there are still people who are bold from time to time, relying on her wealth or power to ignore the fact that she may be a rich and noble child, making teasing words, and even using her hands and feet.

Cao Song also punched to help cook, so naturally he also wanted to persuade Baoya to come less. But Baoya is rarely at ease and leisurely, can she still listen to Cao Song? Naturally, he sneaked out again and again. There were guards on the left and right, and those people were just asking for some verbal bargains, but they were eventually repaired by the guards, and she had nothing to fear if she had the bottom in her heart.

Today, Baoya took advantage of the fact that her brother and sister-in-law were out to socialize, and secretly ran out again, and as a result, she met Deng's disciple again.
