Getting farther away from the city gate, the seventeenth elder brother looked back, although it was difficult to give up, but there was a steadiness between his eyebrows.

He turned his head and looked at Cao Hao, who was riding with him, and said, "Fu Ruo, thanks to you for waking me up this time, I won't say anything about those vain and annoying words." In the future, if there is anything that can call me, you must speak, otherwise you owe so much favor, where will I be embarrassed to trouble Fu Ruo next time? ”

Hearing this, Cao Hao glanced at him. The previous words were still like that; The latter sentence is a bit of a pole climb, revealing each other's unscrupulous behavior when they were teenagers.

However, the seventeenth elder brother is like this, and he thinks it is also to resolve the alienation between each other.

Cao Hao's heart for the seventeenth elder brother's mustard had almost disappeared, and he had no intention of breaking with it, so he naturally followed the steps and teased a little: "I don't dare to call the seventeenth master, the favor is still good, if it can be longer, it is better, it is always good to be a creditor." ”

When the seventeenth elder brother heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed at Cao Hao with a horsewhip and said: "From the day I met you, I knew that you guy, who was cunning on the outside and cunning on the inside, was the most unwilling to suffer." Don't worry, there is a favor, no matter what you do in the future, as long as you open your mouth, I will be a cow and a horse for you! ”

Cao Hao also laughed and said: "Don't dare to be it, if you really dare to do your best with the seventeenth elder brother, don't talk about others, I'm afraid that the emperor will be the first to refuse to spare me." ”

When the seventeenth elder brother heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger, but he said in his mouth: "I am willing to repay you, the emperor is good, where will he stop it?" ”

Although the emperor is mean to his brothers, he treats his younger brothers very well, in addition to the thirteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother are also quite favored.

In the past two years, because of the sixteen blessings, he was rejected by the emperor, which made the emperor treat the sixteenth elder brother a lot coldly; On the thirteenth elder brother's side, although he has become the minister of prime minister's affairs and the emperor's arm, the brothers are more like famous monarchs and virtuous ministers.

On the contrary, it is the seventeenth elder brother, the emperor said that he values it, and he has some meaning of coming from behind. Not only is there more and more errands in charge, which is already on par with the thirteenth elder brother, but also eats the prince's money. Even with the seventeenth fortune, she was also quite valued by the palace, although her mother's family was reprimanded for the early party service to the eighth elder brother, but the emperor did not implicate her anger on her, the married girl.

Cao Hao picked the corners of his mouth and didn't speak again, just looked back at the carriage that was not far away.

The third old man, Sun Zhu, a scholar of the Qincha University and a scholar of the military department, was sitting in the car.

This time he went out on a business trip to Beijing, and Cao Hao was also anxious.

The road round trip has to be counted, and there are two days of military parade there, if there is no accident, hurry up the road, and be able to return to Beijing before the Dragon Boat Festival; If it's a bit unexpected, it will have to be delayed until after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Niuniu is nominally Cao Hao's younger sister, but she is actually his adopted daughter with Chu Yu. plus Wenzhi's side, he also acts as a parent, if he can't hold the wedding of the two, everyone will have regrets in their hearts.

Although the seventeenth elder brother went to the palace to intercede and entrusted the seventeenth Fujin production to the queen, the concern in his heart was also indispensable, and he would look forward to returning early.

The only variable is that Old Man Sun Zhu's body can't stand the rush of this summer.

Although it is only the season of mango planting, the weather is getting hotter and the heat is gradually appearing.

The carriage made it even more stuffy, and it was for this reason that the seventeenth elder brother couldn't stand it, and after leaving the city gate, he pulled Cao Hao to get off the car and ride a horse.

Between the capital and Tianjin Wei, more than 200 miles of road, are all official roads. In addition to the section from Huangcun to the capital, because there is Nanyuan Ranch nearby, the road conditions will be repaired every other year, and the road will be better; The rest of the roads are all old roads built in the early years, and the road conditions are not optimistic.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao frowned slightly.

When he was the governor of Zhili, one of the decrees he implemented was to build roads, and the main plan was to build roads from Qingyuan to the capital, Cangzhou to the capital, and Tianjin Wei to the capital.

Among them, the road from Qingyuan to the capital has been repaired, and the road from Cangzhou to the capital, known to Cao Hao, has also started construction this year. Only the road from Tianjin Wei to the capital has not started for a long time.

It is not that Tang Zhiyu is dissatisfied with the plan left by Cao Hao, but because Tianjin Wei has been a military camp since the previous dynasty, and there are few people, so that the tax and civil endowment are insufficient.

These are not things that can be changed with a word, and Cao Hao has no choice.

Seeing Cao Hao running away, the seventeenth elder brother was a little curious, and said, "What do you think, but what's the trouble?" ”

Cao Hao pointed to the road in front of him and said, "After Huangcun, the road will be bumpy, and Master Sun is ...... old."

Listening to Cao Hao's words, the seventeenth elder brother also frowned.

After all, the three of them are all Qincha, if there is anything wrong with Sun Zhu, everyone can only wait on the spot, and then send people back to Beijing to ask for the will, and then respect the will.

"Which is better?" The seventeenth elder brother has no personal relationship with Sun Zhu, so naturally he can't talk about worrying about his Kangtai, but he is just afraid of delaying the trip.

Cao Hao turned his head, glanced at the empty car of the seventeenth elder brother, and did not speak.

Seeing this, the seventeenth elder brother followed him back, followed his line of sight, and also saw his own county king's car.

When princes and officials travel, there are regulations on car driving.

Among the three, it is naturally the seventeenth elder brother, the king of the county, who has the best car, with a high car and a big car, and the one who drives is also a Nanyuan royal horse, driving steadily.

Brother Seventeen's eyes lit up first, and then he thought of something, and couldn't help touching his forehead.

At this moment, Cao Hao had already turned around, looking at the green trees on both sides of the road and the green grass, his mood also relaxed.

The depression in the capital was swept away.

Although it's a little hot now, it's a good time to eat shrimp crawlers, and there are fat clams and fat oysters or something...... * Lanyuan, go to the room.

Li looked at his daughter-in-law and said with some concern: "Did you tell your father about Sister Hui's son?" What does it mean to God bless his father? ”

Chu Yu said with a smile: "I told the master, and the master said that it was all up to the old lady to decide." Sister Hui is an honest and lovely child, and until now, we as uncles and aunts have not been able to bear it. It's just that the aunt and grandmother of the Han family have always been strong, and they make their own decisions about everything, so we didn't have much to say before. ”

Li Shi showed pity on his face and said: "God is pitiful, Wen Qi has no mother when he is young, and he has no Lao Tzu, and the woman's family has no six relatives to rely on." If it weren't for this strong surname, he would have been swallowed alive by life. ”

Chu Yu knew that her mother-in-law had always been poor and weak, so she only smiled and did not answer.

Li Shi You said: "Their mother and daughter are strange and pitiful, I can't answer Sister Chenghui's call 'grandmother' in vain......"

It's just that Jiao Wen and Gu Xian are two, although the former has no permanent property, but he is a newly baked jinshi, listen to the meaning of Tianyou, next month's Hanlin Academy Jishi exam, Jiao Wen is not a problem. The company is known as the "prime minister", which shows that its future is very good.

The Jiao clan had already come to Qingyuan, and Zhang Luo was planning to buy an industry for Jiao Wen. Jiao Wen insisted that since his great-grandfather's generation, he has been separated from his own family, and now he has five suits, and he can't stand the love of his elders.

There is no kinship constraint, as long as you find a suitable wife and rely on the wife, the future is brighter.

Such a Jiao Wen, willing to put down his body and marry the adopted daughter of a businessman as his wife?

Although Han Jiang recognized Li as his stepmother in order to seek refuge in his early years, he has always kept a distance from Cao Fu over the years.

With her temper and surname, she will definitely not allow her future son-in-law to take advantage of the Cao family's power and cause trouble for the Cao family.

On Gu Xian's side, although Jinshi landed, the second son did not need to return to his hometown to support his parents, but stayed in the capital, planning to buy some properties for business.

Influenced by her husband, coupled with the fact that she has other industries in addition to Daoxiang Village, Chu Yu does not despise businessmen.

If the Li family really wants to be the master and find a son-in-law for Sister Hui among the two of Jiao Gu, Chu Yu is optimistic about Gu Xian. But Li's side is obviously more optimistic about Jiao Wen.

When mentioning Jiao Gu and the two with her husband last night, Chu Yu also praised Gu Xian.

Cao Hao heard that his mother and his wife were not the same candidates, so he didn't speak, but said that he was not in a hurry, marriage was a lifelong event for a woman, and he would wait and see.

Li Shi said a few words, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law was smiling and didn't answer, he glanced at her twice, sent the maid down, pulled down his face, and said, "Could it be that the master also thinks that the Gu family kid is better than the Jiao family kid?" ”

Although her husband was not in front of her, Chu Yu would not talk nonsense, and said busily: "No, the master said, you need to be cautious, don't be too hasty." ”

When Li Shi heard this, his expression eased slightly, and said: "I know that in your heart, you are guarding against Wen Qi's side, afraid that she will really find an official uncle, in case it is a bad one, taking advantage of the Cao family's situation to make his father bless his father." Ke Hui'er is a good girl, and she is Wenqi's support for the rest of her life, how can I watch them and their mothers support themselves as merchants and become subordinates? You can rest assured, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, whether it was the thirteenth master or the sixteenth master, they all inherited Wenqi's favor in their early years. Just because of the difference between dignity and inferiority, and between men and women, this favor has never been returned. If Wen Qi finds an official uncle, he doesn't have to rely on the Cao family, only the care of those two will be enough to make him happy for half his life......"

Although the Li family had already sent the maid away, these words without the slightest reprimand made Chu Yu blush.

Where could she still sit still, she was already standing up with a flushed face, but she couldn't argue.

Because, Li hit the nail on the head to point out her selfishness.

She felt embarrassed and aggrieved, and before she knew it, she had red circles.

Li Shi looked at her, sighed, and said, "I know that you feel sorry for God to bless his father, and you don't want him to work too hard." But have you thought about it, the Cao family moved out of Fengrun's own family and opened a separate sect, and there are only a few people in the east and west of this branch. The older generation of in-laws, for various reasons, even if they have not broken off, they are also sparse; God bless his father's generation, most of his in-laws are clans, and the scenery is beautiful, but it is not good and indulgent......"
