"What the hell is going on?" Cao Hao couldn't stand anymore and stood up all of a sudden.

Chu Yu took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and choked up: "Master...... No matter what the old lady and the second old lady think, I really don't want to come forward about the marriage of the second uncle......"

Cao Hao smiled bitterly: "If you don't come forward, do you want the second old lady to come forward?" The fourth brother and sister are little sisters-in-law, and it's not good to talk about this matter......"

Chu Yu frowned and said, "But it's not urgent, Jing Hui is gone for less than a hundred days...... Do you really want to discuss relatives in filial piety and follow up on the anniversary? What about the children, Dai Xiao gave tea to his stepmother? ”

Cao Hao said: "What does the lady mean? ”

Chu Yu hesitated and said, "Master, can you see each other after the week...... Wait for the nieces and nephews to be filial piety before entering the newcomer? In terms of housework, even if the fourth aunt is not full of power, there is still a tide to help, and she just has experienced one or two. ”

Cao Hao looked at his wife and didn't answer her words.

The husband dies, the wife is beheaded; When the wife dies, the husband will serve the rod or not.

There are parents and elders, and there is no rod period; There are no parents on it, and the rod period.

Zhao Jia's family is alive, and Cao Song's service for his deceased wife is not a cane period.

In secular practice, after the loss of a wife, it is usually "burned week" to continue the string.

It's not because of the joy of the bed, after all, even if you don't remarry, it doesn't take much effort for the men of the Xungui family to find a warm bed.

But on the second side of the room, there are old and young.

In addition, with Cao Song's return to Beijing, Chunhua, the little aunt's housekeeper, was also incorrect and unspeakable.

Although there is an old saying that parents do not separate the family, for the sake of long-term planning, it is better for brothers and concubines to be locked in the same house and quarrel with each other, so it is better to separate the family earlier, and there will be less friction.

After all, Cao Xiang and Chunhua are concubines and daughters-in-law, and their identities are embarrassing. In the past few years in Beijing, the two of them have done their best to the long house, and Cao Hao doesn't want to see them being eaten by Zhaojia's family.

Cao Xiang was able to untie the knot and took the initiative to purchase a house in the back street of Dongfu, which was not easy.

It's not that Cao Hao doesn't miss the old love, it's just that the deceased are gone, and the living are more important.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao was a little stunned.

When he was a teenager in his previous life, he had several classmates who had joined the deed, and they were born with weak parents, two teenagers lost their fathers, and two teenagers lost their mothers.

For those who have lost their fathers, the widowed mother is pulled by reading power; The two who lost their mothers both worked hard for half a year, and the stepmother entered the door.

For this matter, two female classmates also made angry remarks, saying things like "being a mother is strong" and "men are unrighteous".

It's none of his business, Cao Hao doesn't take it to heart.

Now that it is Cao Song's turn, Cao Hao's heart is conflicted.

On the one hand, I feel that the custom of marrying a bride after the current anniversary is a bit unkind, and on the other hand, I hope that the life of Dongfu will return to normal as soon as possible, and I don't have to worry about it with my elders.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "What if it's postponed until three years later?" Xiao Er is in the prime of life, and he can't be a widower for the rest of his life. Tianwang is still young, and it is the time to take care of it...... Although the two are bigger, there are many things to learn...... Whether they like it or not, there will always be someone to take Jinghui's place......"

When Chu Yu heard this, his eyes began to redden, and after a long while, Fang asked in a low voice, "Master...... If I'm like Jinghui, will the master hire a newcomer before the anniversary? ”

Cao Hao sighed and said, "Madame forgot that her husband is a Heshuo forehead?" There are examples of blessed monks. ”

Chu Yu snorted lightly and said, "Listening to the master's meaning, I think this identity is in the way, right?" ”

Cao Hao thought about it, was serious, and said: "It's troublesome to continue the string, Tianyou wants to marry a daughter-in-law, there is no shortage of housekeepers, and it is necessary to accept a few beautiful concubines in one go......"

Chu Yu was originally angry for Jinghui, and when he thought that he was not in good health, he was moved and shed tears.

Listening to her husband's words, Chu Yu's eyes widened: "What the master said from his heart?" ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "That's what I said in my heart, I wanted to grow old with you, but since you were willing to abandon me, I still thought that you couldn't do it...... For the sake of my virtue not to be criticized, you should cherish and take care of yourself, and live to ninety-nine......"

The first encounter was shocking, but when I heard the end, I blushed and felt sour and astringent, and the original resentment had long since disappeared...... The next time, when Cao Hao asked Li to say goodbye in the morning, Li mentioned Cao Song's family affairs with his son: "Looking at the appearance of my daughter-in-law last night, I don't seem to be very happy to do it...... I know that they have a deep relationship between the two concubines, not because I am troublesome, or I don't remember the good of my brother and daughter-in-law, but the second room can't be without a housewife......"

The son knows that his mother is not worried about a few small ...... If they marry in three years, the two sisters will be out of the cabinet, and they will not have contact with the later ones, and they will lose their family affection......" Cao Hao said.

Li nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you can know my heart...... is also a mother, and Brother Song's daughter-in-law is most relieved that it is not the newcomer who occupies her position, but these small ...... Even if the two of them get married, they can't leave the protection of their parents......"

chattering, in the end, is a piece of compassion.

Cao Hao said a few more words with him, and then left Fuyuan Hall and went to the Yamen.

It's already November, when the household errand is at its heaviest.

Now he said that the holy car was moved to the Old Summer Palace, and Zhang Tingyu was with him, and he was not in the government office.

Cao Hao sat in the hall, busy until noon, and only after finishing the official documents in his hand did he finish processing the official documents in his hand, he saw Jiang Jian pick up the newspaper and walk in with a strange face.

Cao Hao pointed to the chair in front of the bookcase, beckoned Jiang Jian to sit down, and said, "Could it be that there is any news?" ”

Jiang Jian handed the newspaper to Cao Hao and said, "Adults will be surprised when they see it......

Cao Hao took it with a smile, and the front was just a common transfer and appointment of government officials, and it wasn't until he saw Ortai's name that he began to be solemn.

If you want to say that before the Wanshou Festival, Yin Jishan was a popular figure who won the Sacred Heart and was promoted to the fifth level in a few months, then now there is a sense of time passing, and the hot character has become Ortai, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

At the first court meeting after the Wanshou Festival, the emperor ordered Ortai, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to be in charge of Guangxi's military and political affairs, because the yamen of the two Guangxi provinces was stationed in Guangzhou and was far away from Guangxi.

At this point, Ortai became the governor of the military and political affairs of the three provinces, as well as the title of secretary of the military department that was previously sealed.

You must know that the governor's station class was originally directly subordinate to the governor at the top, followed by the governor of Liangjiang, Huguang, Liangguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou at the end.

But after Guangxi was brought under the name of Ortai, he, the governor of the three provinces, jumped from the end of the governor to the third position.

What moved Jiang Jian happened to be a clear will related to Ortai.

The civil and military officials of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, who have been supplemented by Ortai, do not have to have a title on one side and a song on the other, but directly come to Beijing to meet with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War after Ortai asks for an order.

Just a few lines, but Cao Hao knows the weight of this.

Such an honor, Nian Qianyao also had it back then, which was the famous "annual election"; Now Ortai's grace is much the same as it was back then, and it won't be long before the word "Exuan" will become a buzzword.

Cao Hao put the newspaper aside and said, "Non-phosphorus is calm, but it is rare to be moved by this matter...... I'm a little strange, non-phosphorus is not a surname that loves to be heartfelt, how can I pay attention to the gossip of others? ”

Jiang Jian glanced at Cao Hao and said, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?" ”

Cao Hao smiled: "It's those gossip that compares me with Lord E?" It's just that others chew their tongues, where is it easy to care, it's better to be a fool and be a fool......"

Because the Ortai saint is in his prime, when everyone in Beijing gossips, he turned up the bottom of Ortai, and found that he was really a late bloomer.

At the age of seventeen, he was a talent, at the age of twenty, and at the age of twenty-one, he was appointed as a leader and made up for the guards. As a result, he served as a guard for sixteen years, and it was not until he was thirty-seven years old that he became a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Then, in the position of a foreign officer, he worked hard for another six years and did not move.

It was not until he ascended the throne that the forty-three-year-old Ortai came to work from time to time and was promoted by leapfrogging.

Jiang Jian said: "The adults are still as immobile as a mountain, in the eyes of outsiders, the adults and the adults of Hubei are bright for a while......"

Jiang Jian said it too tactfully, but in fact, the comment outside was that Ortai had suppressed Cao Hao.

After all, when Cao Hao married the county lord and served as the imperial guard, Ortai was the outer Lanling guard; When Cao Hao was in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, Ortai was the Outer Lang of the Internal Affairs Office.

By the time Governor Cao Hao was directly under his command, Ortai had just been fortunate to be the political envoy of Jiangsu.

Now, Ortai's limelight has overtaken Cao Hao. And his younger brother, Orqi, the secretary of the military department and the commander of the infantry army, was the most popular candidate for the secretary of the household department when Cao Hao was seriously ill last year.

As a result, Cao Hao recovered from his illness and was still in charge of the household department, and Orqi went to the military department and became a colleague of Yiduli.

Ortai's other younger brother, Eli, is now the superintendent of the imperial history. Both younger brothers won the favor of the emperor.

Cao Hao only has a wife, not a concubine; The same is true of Ortai, the five sons are all born to the stepwife, and the love between husband and wife is also famous.

In addition, both of them are the eldest sons of the family, and they took on family responsibilities in their early twenties and raised brothers and nephews.

All kinds of similarities make the two always talk about it together.

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "Lord E has courage and courage, I sigh to myself that it is better to ......"

Ortai is in the southwest, and is responsible for "changing the land and returning to the stream". In the past few years, there have been one or two cases of so-called "evil seedlings" rioting every year, and the result is that they have not been eradicated without exception.

Although for the overall situation of the imperial court, "changing the land and returning to the stream" and strengthening the control of the central government is the best policy to ensure the peace in the southwest, but behind this achievement, it is not the side, but the blood of the local people.

None of the three governors that Yongzheng relied on was a good errand. Ortai is the murder knife in the southwest, Li Wei is the-stirring stick in the south of the Yangtze River, and Tian Wenjing is the mad dog in the Central Plains.

No matter what others are, Cao Hao is not envious at all.

Jiang Jian hesitated and said, "Lord E is already a first-class product, and the rest is to enter the cabinet...... He is in the prime of life, and he can't say that he wants to crush adults......"

"Non-phosphorus, I have already said that I will not enter the cabinet......" Cao Hao said.

Jiang Jian let out a long breath and said, "Although the adults have the intention of retreating, the emperor looks at important people, and I am afraid that he will not magnify the people to retire...... The Cao family also needs to be taken care of by adults......"

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "Immortality and Heavenly Protector will end in the next year...... The younger generation is growing up, and Cao Song and his brothers are also in the officialdom, so I can't take care of them for the rest of my life......"

The most important thing is that as long as Tianyou marries Liugege, he is a Heshuo forehead, which is equivalent to a first-class martial arts, and is qualified to support the portal......
