The end of the ninth elder brother is not good, and the ninth elder brother's doorman back then is even more unbearable.

It's okay for someone like Gu Na who is not very close to Jiubeizi Mansion, but his brother-in-law is unlucky, and he was found to be convicted and sent to die, and he died on the way to Ningguta.

Although it did not harm his wife and children, Cai's sister was originally filling the house, and there were several adult sons in front of her, who broke up after her father's death. If it weren't for the fact that the Cai family still had a few children and nephews in Beijing, the Cai family's sister would not even be able to keep the dowry.

Even if she took her daughter back to her parents' house, Sister Cai's concubine failed to survive her life and finally fell ill.

Before she took her last breath, Sister Cai's sister was not worried about her daughter, and when she heard that her niece had died, she left a letter to entrust her dowry and daughter to her younger sister.

Cai's pity for Sister Shu's fate, and seeing that his niece was cute and icy, he accepted the invitation to take care of the orphan.

Cao Hao listened to what Gu Na said, and could only sigh twice.

From the sixty-first year of Kangxi Yongzheng's accession to the throne to the fourth year of Yongzheng, there were not one or two officials who were exiled from their homes.

If there was no appearance of his own, in the history known to later generations, the Cao family would also be among the families.

Gu Na saw that Cao Hao's mood was not high, so he stopped the topic and asked about Cao Hao's body.

Although his brothers-in-law are not of high grade, they are mostly in Beijing, and the news of Cao Hao's illness has also spread to Gu Na.

It's just that he received the news relatively late, and when he learned about it, it was already the news that Cao Hao was about to recover.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "I'm fine, I have some minor illnesses, but it's good to recuperate for more than a month a year ago." It's you, no matter how busy you are, you still have to take care of your body. You are still young, and if you want to make a big career in this career, there is always a chance, but you also have to have a good body to survive. ”

When Gu Na heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

When Cao Hao said this, he kept silent, and rode on the horse leisurely, looking at the spring scenery in the distance.

His words were as if he hadn't said anything, and as if he had said everything.

"Yes, Uncle Hao......" Gu Na Zhengse thanked: "Nephew Uncle Xie Hao taught ......"

Cao Hao shook his head slightly, did not answer her words, and asked about what Gu Na had seen in Beijing.

The two talked and walked, only to feel that time passed quickly, and they arrived in the capital unconsciously.

When the group entered the city, Chu Yu thought that their carriage was not cheap, so she asked her husband whether he would take a detour to send the couple back first.

Gu Na has a house in the capital, but in the south of the city.

Tongzhou is in the west of the capital, if Chu Yu makes a special trip to send them home, it will be half of the capital.

Cao Hao has not yet answered, and Gu Na has already been unable to do so.

Although he is returning to Beijing to take up his post and is about to be promoted, he is wearing the hat of the old man of Jiubeizi Mansion on his head after all, and he doesn't know how the emperor will treat him. If you are too close to Cao Hao, you will not be implicated in Cao Hao.

Cao Hao thought about it for a while, so he didn't force it, but only sent Zhang Yi to find a nearby carriage and horse dealership, and hired a fairly clean carriage for Cai's mother and son.

Before parting ways, Cao Hao said to Gu Na: "Today, when I talk about returning to Beijing with my peers, I can't hide it from those who have a heart, and I don't have to hide it." After that, the two families had a reason to move around. After a few days, there was less entertainment, so I brought Cai and the children over. ”

Gu Na responded, and saw Cao Hao and his party go away, before he turned over and got on the horse and went home with his wife and children.

Although he returned to Beijing to take up his post, he was a small governor, and he couldn't compare to those governors, so he could directly hand over the sign to ask for a meeting, but he had to go to the ministry first and wait for the officials to be introduced.

The emperor said that there are many opportunities, and it is naturally impossible to return to Beijing to meet one official.

How the officials are introduced, and how many officials are introduced together, all have regulations, so Gu Na is not in a hurry...... On the Cao Mansion's side, there are only a few masters in the Communist Party, and now they are halfway away, and they are suddenly deserted.

Every time Cao Hao went back and forth between the yamen and his home, he couldn't feel it, but Chu Yu's feeling was obvious.

Even dealing with housework, I was a little absent-minded, I don't know if I was used to this kind of loneliness, or I was worried about a few family members who went out.

At this time, even Cao Hao felt his wife's abnormality.

Cao Hao was tired of taking care of himself a few days ago, so he asked her to unload her housework and concentrate on recuperation.

Tianhui had been with Niuniu as Chu Yu's housekeeper as early as before Niuniu got married, and now she can practice while she is free in the house. What are the shortcomings, there are still Mama Luo and Mama Chang by their side, and there is no need for Chu Yu to worry too much.

Mama Luo and Mama Chang are Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang back then, who have been worshiped in Cao Mansion for more than ten years, and they have changed their minds since Tianyou.

Cao Hao and his wife have already discussed with the two grandmothers, Cao Fu is responsible for the two heirs and the elderly, and the two are Tianhui's accompanying mothers to help Tianhui.

As early as a few years after the two grandmothers went to Cao's Mansion to worship, Chunwangfu transferred the two of them to Chu Yu's name, and now their brothers and nephews are all on errand in Chu Yu's dowry Zhuangzi.

No matter how clever Tianhui is, there are some things that she can't show up. With two grandmothers from the palace by their side, they couldn't afford to lose anything.

The two grandmothers are now under the name of Chu Yu, and they have the grace of the master, so they are naturally full of words.

In the Cao family for more than ten years, the two of them also watched Tianhui grow up, and they knew that Cao Hao and his wife loved and valued this daughter, even more than the two sons, and they were willing to follow Tianhui's side.

There is also a reason why Cao Hao and his wife took precautions and chose a candidate for their daughter to marry early.

Girls from ordinary powerful families, in addition to accompanying the housemates and maids when they get married, there are also nurses or nannies to marry. In order to come forward and say a thing or two when his own girl is wronged.

Although Tianhui was pampered by Cao Hao and his wife, there was no nurse and nanny around her.

When she was a child, after her nurse stopped breastfeeding, she was sent out by Chu Yu; The nanny who was around her since she was a child was kicked out because Tianhui couldn't speak at that time and was a little neglectful.

Since then, Tianhui has not had a resident nanny around her, only a few grandmothers on duty in shifts with a few older girls.

Now that the mother-in-law, the younger brother-in-law, and the youngest son are not at home, it is the time when the housework is the least, and it is left to the daughter to take care of it, and Chu Yu has nothing to worry about.

But there was one thing she remembered, and she mentioned it to her husband.

It turned out that Chu Yu was talking about the ten palace maids given by the emperor in the first year of Yongzheng.

Although after entering the Cao Mansion, in addition to the palace registration, where can they be treated like the Cao family's sons and maids bought outside.

Among the ten people, except for the three female dependents of the convict who did not enter the palace, the other seven were all selected into the palace by the daughters of the Shangsanqi clothed family.

Now, five years have passed, and these servants are getting older, and the older ones can already refer to people.

Before the Li family left Beijing, Chu Yu asked her mother-in-law to show her on this matter. Although the deeds of these people are in the Cao family, after all, they were given to the Li family by the emperor, and how to deal with them still needs to be decided by the Li family.

Li couldn't bear to worry about this, so he sent a message to let his daughter-in-law decide.

How can Chu Yu make his own decisions?

The branches of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are connected, if one is not handled properly, who knows which one is offended?

But if it drags on, waits until the eldest daughter-in-law enters the door, and then sends them out, the impact will not be good.

Those who know won't say anything, and those who don't know the inside story may have to wear the hat of "good jealousy" on Liugege's head.

Chu Yu didn't want to leave trouble for his son and daughter-in-law who didn't enter the door, so he wanted to solve the matter as soon as possible.

This is an inner house matter, but it is not just an inner house matter.

Yongzheng's move, although it has the intention of giving grace to the Cao family, may not have other purposes.

The Cao family knows this, but they still have to be grateful, and they don't seem to be wary of the ten palace maids.

The Li family has always been pitiful to the poor and the weak, so they left the three officials and their dependents, and one of the thinnest and skinny, and the other six were arranged by Cao Hao and his wife.

Among the remaining six people, three of the older ones entered Wutong Garden to make up for the lack of first-class maids; The three younger ones followed Tianyou, Hengsheng, and Changsheng as errands in the courtyard, but because of their young age, they were only second-class maids.

There are eight first-class maids in Wutong Garden, and these three are not conspicuous, so everyone will be safe and sound.

In fact, which one has an abnormality and which one has passed the news are all in Cao Hao's eyes.

It's just that he doesn't have a ** to say to people, so he lets them go.

I don't know if they are good at learning the rules in the palace, or they are afraid of Chu Yu's identity, even if there are a few people with good looks, they all do their duty.

They are diligent in their work, and they are no less diligent than the Cao family.

After several years, they have no credit and hard work, Chu Yu hopes that they can point out a good family and complete the love of master and servant.

Cao Hao's most disapproving thing is that the master refers to the marriage, if the marriage is harmonious, if the husband and wife are not in agreement, isn't it the diaphragm in the heart?

"It's better to ask me what I mean, if you are willing to return to your own family, you will leave the house, and if you are willing to stay in the house, you will talk." Cao Hao thought for a while and said.

Even if it is a family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not everyone needs to send their daughter to the palace, and a slightly decent family is reluctant to send their daughter to the palace to be a palace maid.

These women who were elected to the palace by a small number of people, either their family backgrounds are not good, or they have other grievances, Cao Hao is reluctant to interfere too much, but he will not watch these girls in a bad situation after leaving Cao's mansion.

Chu Yu smiled: "That's fine, it's not a hurry." Even if they want to be sent to marry, they have to wait for the old lady to come back and let them kowtow to the old lady before leaving. ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "It's not good to send them all, it's too eye-catching, it's better to focus on the few who are about to reach the age first, and the younger ones will stay first." Dowry or something, you can be treated preferentially, but don't forget to state that it is because of the emperor's grace, and the remaining few small ones are still in accordance with the rules of the palace, and they will be said when they are old. ”

Fortunately, the relatives of those convicts and daughters are not allowed to be removed from slavery, and life and death, honor and disgrace are all in the thoughts of everyone in the Cao family.

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Lin Er, a few of them, but let us deal with it, but after all, they were once official dependents, although they were reduced to slaves, they can not be kept ordinary. ”

Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "Didn't there be six households with these ten palace maids back then?" If those few are willing to marry, they will find them almost a home from there; If they don't want a dowry, they will be sent to the village to raise flowers and vegetables......"

It's hard for anyone to say anything about officialdom.

If one day the other party is really rehabilitated, but finds that his daughter has become the wife of the Cao family's slave, and his grandson and granddaughter have become the sons of the Cao family, then there will be nothing but resentment.

What Cao Hao did was just leaving a glimmer of leeway......
