Zhao Jia's self-talking, but the more he talked, the more he felt that there was a shadow.

After all, this little daughter-in-law is five years older than her son, and her appearance is only dignified, and it is common for the husband and wife to have a lighter relationship.

She raised her head and looked carefully at the two big girls waiting at the door of the room, but her face drooped. Both of these girls are fourteen or five years old, and it is the time for flowers and bones, but they are mediocre.

The people in her house earlier were like this, but to prevent her husband from stealing food. Now that she sees that her daughter-in-law is also such a girl in the house, she is not happy.

This is really wronged Su Xin, these two girls were chosen by Cao Fu.

Last year, the girl around Su Xin was too big and wanted to release people out, so Jinghui sent her mother-in-law to bring more than a dozen children to make up for this hospital.

Just when Cao Fu came back, he saw that his wife was hesitant, so he picked these two for her. It's for the yard to be clean, I'm afraid that the color is good, and I have thoughts that I shouldn't have, which makes people upset.

Su Xin lowered her head, still worried about having no children, who knew that her mother-in-law had already convicted her.

"You are more than the little five, you should feel sorry for him......" Zhao Jiashi said, seeing Su Xin's low eyebrows and pleasing appearance, thinking that she was a little girl, and entered the palace as an errand when she was a teenager, pitiful and insightful, but she couldn't go on, sighed, and said: "You are also confused, your lord is high-spirited, and he doesn't want to use the family, so you should come in from outside?" The girls in the family, whether they are making room or raising a concubine, are all your slaves, and they will be dealt with with by you. If you are serious outside, your name is different, and if you give birth to a son, you must be naughty. Why can't you figure it out? ”

In the end, she hated iron but not steel, and said, "You have also seen the world, don't you know this?" I know you got a prescription from your sister-in-law and you're conditioning your body. But you can't conceive for three years or two, and you're annoyed, aren't you? Pick two honest girls, add a son and a half daughter to raise first, isn't this also down-to-earth? ”

If the mother-in-law speaks badly, Su Xin is not uncomfortable; Now this is a little bit of a concern for her.

"Got it, ma'am." She was both grateful and powerless, and muttered.

Seeing that she was submissive, Zhao Jia's previous unhappiness disappeared, patted her hands, and went back to his yard. Although Jiang Hui's little girl is good, but where is her age, even if she really wants to say goodbye, she will have to wait for two or three years, and Zhao Jia's family is still thinking about holding her grandson, so she naturally can't wait.

Sending her mother-in-law to the gate of the yard, Su Xin returned to the house, and she was a little shaken.

It seems that this peace is over, she lowered her eyes, and only felt tired.

When will this life come to an end?

She is an unblessed person after all, otherwise she would not be alone. Although the second sister-in-law is an orphan girl, she has her own aunt and uncle, and she has a father and grandfather, and a maternal uncle, but she has been separated by the palace gate for more than ten years, and she is alienated from her flesh and blood.

Cao Fu came in with a curtain, and felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, so he stopped and saw his wife sitting quietly by the kang.

Although she did not shed tears, it was more uncomfortable than tears.

He frowned slightly, exited the room, stretched out his hand for a little girl, and asked, "Has the old lady been here?" How long did you stay? ”

The little girl nodded and said, "I've been here, I haven't stayed long, I looked at the West Wing for a while, and I stayed in the house with my wife for a while and left." ”

Cao Fu's mind was clear, and he naturally understood when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He waved his hand, sent the little girl down, and re-opened the curtain and entered the house.

At this moment, Su Xin also heard the movement of talking outside, and got up to greet him.

"Lord is back." Su Xin's face was as usual, she welcomed her husband in, and told the girl to bring hot water over and wait for Cao Fu to change her clothes.

Cao Fu sighed in his heart, sat on the edge of the kang, and said, "I heard that the Northwest Army is negotiating peace, and the war is about to end." When the second brother comes back, we will go out to live. ”

"Huh?" When Su Xin heard this, she was surprised, raised her head, and looked at her husband, a little confused.

From the moment she entered the door, she knew that this family would always be divided in the future, but with her mother-in-law's temper, she may not be willing to let her youngest son move out to live. The so-called division of the family is only the room of the fourth uncle.

"Earlier, when the Bank of the Interior Bank auctioned off the mortgaged property, my eldest brother took me there. I bought two houses, both of which were three-in, one larger, with more than thirty rooms; One is smaller, with more than 20 rooms. The fourth brother is the elder brother, and the population is larger than ours, so the big ones naturally have to be left to them. The smaller one, although there are fewer houses, is just on the edge of the sea, and it is cool in summer. Cao Fu said unhurriedly, as usual: "In the future, I will raise a large water tank in the courtyard, put a few goldfish, plant a few grape vines, and set up a few rattan chairs, and designate a leisurely atmosphere like in the Zhuangzi." ”

"Why don't you plant pomegranates?" Su Xin only felt that his heart was in turmoil, and he asked this sentence by mistake.

"If you like it, you can plant it, but you don't think much about it. These children all depend on fate, we just have to wait. Not to mention others, it is the uncle, and he also stood up after the age of the second sister. I'm only 20 this year, so what if I wait another 10 years? Speaking of this, he paused and said, "This matter of heirs is not just a matter of women. On the side of Prince Zhuang, there are not a hundred wives and concubines, but eighty, and they are not fruitful. Fortunately, now the imperial doctor below is in Xifu, and I will ask the imperial doctor to show me tomorrow. ”

After all, he is a man, and few are willing to admit that he can't "sow seeds", so in the end, he is also a little embarrassed and whispers.

However, it was this gradually lowering voice, like a small hammer, that smashed Su Xin's chest painfully.

She didn't know whether she was happy or sad, and for a while, her eyes were astringent and she couldn't speak.

"If I'm not appropriate, don't hate me, let's two be against the 'distressed couple'. Look at the eldest brother and sister-in-law, those children, even if they are not born by themselves, can they still be raised by themselves? Cao Fu stood up, put his arm on his wife's shoulder, and said softly.

For his wife, he originally had a faint affection, and he couldn't call it a deep love.

It's just that after living together in the past few years, this wife who is round on the outside and square on the inside makes him feel distressed. He didn't want to see her alone, and he didn't want to wronged her.

Su Xin's tears couldn't hold back any longer, and finally rolled down......* Entering November, Cao Hao became more and more busy.

On the bookcase, the paperwork was stacked half a person high, and he had to be busy until dusk before he could come out of the yamen.

On the sixth day of November, it was advisable to travel, Zheng Xie took his family out of Beijing to take up his post, accompanied by the scholar Yanxiang and his master Fan Sheng.

This inkstone was bought by Cao Fu, and it was because of him that Cao Hao knew that Zheng Xie also had a penchant for prostitution.

When he first heard about it, Cao Hao was annoyed, but he called Yanxiang, and seeing that he had no grievances and resentment, he was willing to continue to wait for Zheng Xie, so he acquiesced.

Take care of the rules, if you give it to Zheng Xie, this deed will be handed over to Zheng Xie.

Cao Hao did not do that, but let someone take his deed, remove his slavery, and prepare twenty taels of silver for him.

"If you are really willing to follow Master Zheng, go with him; If you don't like it, when you get out of Beijing, you can find a chance to go. Cao Hao left him alone and said to him: "I really have nowhere to go, so I will go to Zhuangzi outside the city to find an errand." ”

Because the law of the Qing Dynasty prohibits officials from prostitution, it is not uncommon for this officialdom to love men.

The officials who came out of Fujian and Zhejiang were even more popular.

Cao Hao is a man after all, and he still can't accept this kind of thing of men and men annihilating each other.

This inkstone was not bought from outside by the son of the house. is also literate and literate, otherwise the family will fall into the middle of the road, and will not be reduced to slavery.

Therefore, he felt guilty about this child who was no more than two years older than Tianyou.

"Thank you, sir!" Yanxiang took his deed, "plopped", knelt on the ground, blushed, and said, "Small...... The little one wants to learn to draw with the master......"

Cao Hao saw that his eyes were red, his face was full of determination, and he said, "But because of your father and ancestors?" ”

It turned out that this Yanxiang's surname was Yan, and he was also a child from the scholarly family. My grandfather worked as a painter in the inner court during his lifetime, but because he died early, his reputation was not obvious. Later, for some reason, the family got into a lawsuit, the family went bankrupt, and the people died almost the same.

"Yes, the little one wants to learn to paint...... "Yanxiang replied: "Before the villain's grandfather was alive, he once told the villain to learn to paint......

Seeing that this kid was so sensible, Cao Hao scolded Zheng Xie again and again in his heart, and the original love for the same family disappeared.

"If you want to go, go there, and come back when you want to go back to Beijing when you finish your studies." Cao Hao said.

Yanxiang solemnly kowtowed to Cao Hao three times before getting up and going out.

Outside, Zuo Cheng was already waiting.

Seeing him come out, Zuo Cheng stepped forward and said with a bitter face: "This separation can't be compared with you." I can't compare to you, and I won't be able to beat you in the future. ”

"How so? Young Master Cheng is talented, and the master has also praised him. In the past, it was not that Young Master Cheng could not be smaller, but that he was younger than Young Master Cheng and practiced pen a few years earlier, and when I was four years old, I took a paintbrush. Yanxiang said softly.

Zuo Cheng muttered, still a little reluctant, and handed over a box of lake pens in his hand: "You are going with Mr., this is the ceremony I sent you." ”

Yanxiang has been on an errand in the study for two years, and as Zheng Xie enters and exits the glass factory, he knows that the price of this box of lake pens is expensive, and he is busy saying: "It's better to keep it for Young Master Cheng, how can a small one make such a good pen?" ”

Zuo Cheng didn't listen to him, and stuffed it directly into his hand, saying, "If you give it to you, you will take it, what are you talking about?" It works well, I went out and bought it on purpose. Speaking of this, he handed over another purse and said, "There is some change here, you can take it with you and buy some delicious food on the way." Learn to paint hard, if you work so hard, you will become a painter. ”

Yanxiang didn't want it, but seeing Zuo Cheng's determined appearance, he had to accept it and said, "What about the young master?" ”

"The eldest brother and the big guy went to the master's courtyard to see them off, let's go too." While talking, the two went to the side courtyard together.

Cao Hao stood under the porch, watching the two of them go away, and he felt a lot of ironing in his heart.

What he is most satisfied with is that his children not only understand the rules of the world, but also are not snobbish, and have a good heart...... The carriages were hired from the car dealership and consisted of three cars, two for people and one for luggage.

Cao Hao sealed one or two hundred silver and sent Zheng Xie to be Cheng Yi. Zheng Xie accepted the favor, so he didn't accept it in Qinggao, and thanked him.

His wife, Xu, had a daughter at the beginning of the year, and now she is not yet a year old, so she will not go with her husband, and will wait until next year when it is warm, and then go over to meet him......
