As a woman, Tian relied on Cao Hao to make the decision in major matters, and Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng also obeyed.

Cao Hao couldn't pull away and returned to Beijing, and his eldest son Tianyou was only more than two months older than the Zuozhu brothers, and it was not appropriate to come forward.

Cao Hao wrote a letter to Cao Xiang and Cao Fu, asking their brothers to take Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng to Ning's house to "meet" Mrs. Ning.

At the same time, he also sent a letter to Ma Jun, mentioning this matter, which was nothing more than asking Ma Jun to be a witness, saving it in the eyes of Mrs. Ning, as if the Cao family acted and directed themselves to launch two children to inherit Ning Chun's incense.

When Mama Xu and Mama Tian returned to Beijing, there were more brothers from Zuozhu.

Mama Xu and Mama Tian were shocked in their hearts, and they came to the left brothers, and some wanted to ask a few questions.

Zuo Zhu was silent, and every time he saw them come forward, he just closed his mouth and listened, and rarely spoke; Zuo Cheng can speak well, but he knows what he can say and what he can't say, not only did he not be tricked, but he inquired about the recent situation of the Ning family from the mouths of the two grandmothers.

What wife's fiftieth birthday last year, the family was very lively, relatives and friends came to celebrate her birthday; Young Master Sun said in his two lives that he could already speak, he was smart, and his wife loved him very much; The fourth master has done a good job, and he has a heavy head, and he is expected to be promoted at the end of his term; The fourth grandmother is the most virtuous and filial, although she is the wife's niece, she does not dare to forget her daughter-in-law's duty.

When Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng heard this, they had different thoughts in their hearts.

Zuo Zhu thought that this family was happy, but it seemed that their brothers appeared abruptly, and they might not be willing to treat their brothers as relatives; Just like their brothers, the same is true, even if they know that they are blood relatives, it feels strange to think about getting close to each other.

Zuo Cheng thinks more, his niece is a daughter-in-law, and the more etiquette there is, the less closeness, which shows that the two aunts and nephews are not intimate; It is understandable that the wife is more partial to her grandson, after all, at this time, she pays attention to "heirs and grandchildren".

Since the "fourth master" was mixed in the officialdom without the help of the family, then he was not confused, how could he still be confused about family affairs?

Whether it is really soft-hearted and weak, or whether it deliberately favors the side of its biological parents, it makes people think about it.

A family of three adults and three hearts is lively.

Thinking of this, Zuo Cheng couldn't help but snort lightly, revealing mockery...... Cao Hao's two letters went to the post station, and they arrived in the capital one day earlier than the two brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng.

When it comes to the matter of his nephew and son-in-law, Ma Jun is naturally concerned.

His eldest daughter Xiangjun is half a year younger than the left master, and she is already thirteen cardamom this year, and when she gets married, it will only be a blink of an eye.

Back then, he promised to marry in Caofu, and afterwards made Xiangjun's mother and his wife Zhong still cry, and he was very dissatisfied with his new aunt.

With the death of the Ma Shilang brothers one after another, the Ma family is no longer prosperous, but the Cao family is rising, Zuozhu has a reputation at the age of eleven, and the Zhong family has a lot less grievances, but there are few nagging and nagging in front of her husband behind her back, Xiangjun is the eldest sister, and Yuanjun of the big house is the sister, and there is no reason why the sister says that people are more than sisters.

Ma Jun could only scold her for not talking too much, although Ma Jun's uncle died of illness, he had an aunt alive.

Although Yuan Jun is Ma Jun's second daughter, she is the daughter of the Changfang Fang family, and her identity is no less than that of Xiangjun in the second room. She is one year younger than Xiangjun, and she has also reached the age of saying goodbye. Her family affairs are not something that Ma Jun alone can say.

Since Cao Hao mentioned in his letter that he would hand over the matter to Cao Xiang's brothers, Ma Jun sent someone to Cao's East Mansion to send a post. The meaning of the post is that he wants to ask for a letter, and when their brother leads the Zuozhu brother to Ning's house, he also wants to go with him.

Cao Xiang and Cao Fu brothers also received a handwritten letter from their cousin on the same day.

After the two brothers discussed, they decided to wait for their brother to come back, and Cao Xiang would take him to visit Mrs. Ning.

Cao Xiang is older and has a higher official rank, and he can come forward to represent Cao Hao, and he can also show the Ning family the importance that the Cao family attaches to Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's brothers.

When the brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng arrived in Beijing, Cao Xiang sent a post to Ma Jun, and the two agreed on a time to send a post to Ning's house two days in advance.

Mrs. Ning had already learned from the two grandmothers about the return of the Zuozhu brothers to Beijing, and it was not surprising to hear that the two brothers were coming over to "ask for peace", but it was only after seeing the post, she signed the names of the two four-rank masters, and then gasped.

Mrs. Ning was annoyed and worried, and she was a little afraid.

It was still Mama Xia, who recognized the identity of the Zuozhu brothers, and was partial to the little master in her heart, afraid that Mrs. Ning would have extraneous branches, so she refused to admit her relatives happily, and said earnestly: "Governor Cao and Mrs. County Lord treat the two masters as if they were parents and sons, and the other masters of the Cao family should also give the two masters dignity." Mrs., you just wait to enjoy the blessings, with Governor Cao taking care of you, the two young masters are studying and competing, and when they come out, they will earn a life for their wives in a few years...... The most rare thing is that the county lord's wife also really feels sorry for the two masters, this time the old slave was ordered to go, listening to the meaning of the county lord's wife, he has already prepared the silver for the two masters, and the county lord's wife will be responsible for marrying the daughter-in-law in the future...... Daoxiang Village said to enter the gold, who doesn't know that the big Gege of the Chunwang Mansion is one of the best people in the clan, and the private house is the most generous......"

Only when an official of the third rank or above is ordained, in addition to his mother and wife, there is also a grandmother's share.

The Zuozhu brothers are only fourteen now, and when they come out, how easy is it to get up to the top officials from the third grade?

Mama Xia is just a big pie to tempt Mrs. Ning's heart.

Mama Xu was beside her, although she was dissatisfied with Mama Xia's good words about the Cao family, she also understood the current situation, and her wife recognized her relatives, only the good ones, and she did not suffer losses.

With two grandsons returning to the sect, if the broad street wants to unscrupulously provoke the relationship between the fourth master and his wife, he will also have some scruples.

Mrs. Ning was really moved by what Mama Xia said, she was just worried that her two grandchildren would come out and thin the few family properties in her hands; Since the other party doesn't ask for money, it can also bring the momentum of Cao Fu, and she doesn't know what to do if she stops it.

"It's good for two brothers to study? It's easy to take the test, but it's not easy to raise people and jinshi......" Mrs. Ning's eyes showed a little hesitation.

"Playing Xiaotong with a few masters in the Governor's Mansion to study together, I invited a few masters to be Hanlin; Now the academy in Baoding is also studying with the old Hanlin who retired from the Hanlin Academy. If you can't read like this, then there is no place to reason. Mama Xia said.

Mrs. Ning groaned, flipped over and over the prayer post and looked at it for a while, and said to Mama Xu on the side: "Go and invite the fourth master and the fourth grandmother to come over, and after discussion, the matter of hospitality will be ......."

* Not to mention how Mrs. Ning explained this matter to Yongliang and his wife, how Yongliang and his wife were surprised and surprised, in a blink of an eye, on the third day, Cao Xiang and Ma Jun took their brothers to Ning's house.

Behind the two of them, in addition to Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, there is one more Hengsheng.

He asked for leave from the upper study when he made a special trip, and he grinded Cao Xiang for a long time before he was able to go with him.

According to his words: "The fourth uncle came forward for his father and mother, and the nephew came forward for the eldest brother and younger siblings, and stayed by the side of the two elder brothers to strengthen their courage, so that they would not be bullied!" ”

Cao Hao is not in this half a year, what kind of entertainment does the Cao family have, most of the Cao Xiang brothers brought Hengsheng forward, which made Hengsheng have a lot of experience.

Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng are in the Cao family, with relatives and elders to take care of, and brothers and sisters to support each other, where have they been wronged; Now for the sake of a surname, for a clear background, maybe you will have to be harsh and troubled by others.

Hengsheng is the most enthusiastic, where can he stand by and watch, he naturally has to follow and protect them, beware of them from suffering.

He didn't want to think about it, if the Ning family really tore his face, didn't even talk about the relationship between Cao Xiang and Ma Jun, and didn't fake his color to the Zuozhu brothers, then what could he, a half-grown boy, do?

On the side of Ningfu, in order to welcome the guests, Yongliang took a leave from the yamen.

It has been nearly two months since Mrs. Ning learned about Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's brothers, but because she had concerns, she kept it a secret from Yongliang and the fourth grandmother.

It wasn't until the other day that the guests were about to come to the door, and she told the truth to Yongliang and the fourth grandmother.

Yongliang's face changed and changed, but he didn't say anything; The fourth grandmother's face was not good-looking, and she looked at Mrs. Ning in surprise.

I don't know how the two discussed, but the next morning I went to Mrs. Ning to ask for help, but I congratulated Mrs. Ning in unison.

The prosperity of children and grandchildren is the foundation of the prosperity of the family, and with two more promising nephews, they can only be happy when they are uncles and aunts.

Whether it was sincere or false, Mrs. Ning was generally very satisfied with the two of them.

The family is weak, even if they want to ignore their conscience and not recognize their brothers, with the strength of the Cao family and the Ma family, there is still a way for them to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

Instead of tossing like a clown, it is better to be a big guy and amiable.

So, after Cao Xiang, Ma Jun and others arrived at Ningfu, they felt Mrs. Ning's kindness.

To say that Mrs. Ning still had some mustard in her heart before, after all, her current choice was made after she was afraid of the Cao family's strength, and she was somewhat unwilling. Seeing the similar appearance of Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers to Ning Chun, this unwillingness turned into a sad heart.

"I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it......" Looking at the two brothers, remembering the scene when the family was broken and dying many years ago, Mrs. Ning couldn't help but be moved, and said with red eyes: "It's still the uncle and grandmother who thought carefully, when it was like that, the family was in a mess, and the funerals were done one after another, and no one knew if this family could be saved...... If Miss Ruqiu stays in the house, whether the wife can give birth to two brothers peacefully is two words...... Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers, seeing that Mrs. Ning did not make trouble, but her face was full of love, and they looked at each other, and they all felt a little surprised.

Ma Jun heard "Ruqiu girl", but his brows frowned slightly, and he looked at Cao Xiang.

Cao Xiang "coughed", took out a pair of mutton fat and white jade double happiness from his sleeve, and said: "There is one thing, I haven't mentioned it to you yet, when Grandma Ning made people orphan her brother, she also left a message, saying that the Tian family had a son to be corrected, and Brother Ning and Grandma Ning, who were replaced, fulfilled their responsibility for the child's upbringing, and used this thing as evidence. ”

Mrs. Ning looked at the pair of joy, but she couldn't take her eyes off.

Seeing this, Yongliang stepped forward to take Shuangxipei and put his hands in Mrs. Ning's hands.

Mrs. Ning groped for Shuangxi Pei, looked at it carefully several times, and said with tears in her eyes: "That's right, it's the pair of Double Happiness Pei that the eldest grandmother married from her mother's house, I heard that it is an object flowing out of the palace in the former dynasty, with cloud patterns on it, which is exactly the name of the eldest grandmother......

Cao Xiang and Ma Jun were stunned when they heard this.

In the bag of fine and soft that the New Cobal Lu clan handed over to Ning Chun's milk brother back then, most of them were gold and silver jewelry, jade hairpin rings and other objects.

Among them, the most valuable is this pair of double happiness admirers.

Tian was grateful for the kindness of the New Cobalt Lu clan, and gave these happy pairs to his two sons as a memory, only saying that it was given by his mother.

Cao Xiang's remarks are what Cao Hao meant.

Although it is not kind to speak in the name of the deceased, for the sake of Tian's family and Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng's mother and son to live better in the future, they can only lie.

Since this pair of joy is the dowry of the New Cobalt Lu clan, the soft bag back then......
