When Cao Hao was recuperating with peace of mind, the husband and wife still had something to solve, that is, to make a decision to King Jian's mansion.

Originally, the two families were scheduled to make a decision at the end of July to marry around Chongyang. Even if Cao Hao's father and son both received errands and left Beijing, the Cao family did not plan to reschedule.

Tianyou is going south with the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother always has to return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival. God blesses over there, and the wedding date can't be delayed.

Not to mention the outside of the Guan, the weather turns cold at the end of July and the beginning of August, and the rainfall is less, and the task of flood control is almost the same.

Unexpectedly, Cao Hao had a "serious illness".

In this way, the ceremony had to be rescheduled.

The first is that the head of the family is "seriously ill", where can he easily do happy events; The second is to set the date of the ceremony in the case of Cao Hao's "serious illness", even if it has been set a long time ago, but outsiders seem to be suspected of "rushing to joy".

Liu Gege is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family, the future clan wife, how could Cao Hao and his wife let her carry this reputation behind her back?

Besides, that would also show that the Cao family was acting "arrogant", which was easy to attract rejection from the clan. Well, in this way, the decision will definitely be postponed.

After returning to Beijing, Chu Yu sent a post to Prince Jian's mansion, which wrote that if Prince Jian Fujin was empty, he would visit Prince Jian Fujin two days later.

Prince Jane and his wife love their daughter very much and are thinking about it.

Cao Hao Shengjing was "seriously ill", and the lord of Rui went north to serve the illness, which is not a secret in Beijing.

It's just that Cao Hao's illness is too coincidental, and just after he fell ill after blowing up the bridge in front of the imperial mausoleum, some people think that there is something greasy inside.

Even Yarjianga didn't believe that Cao Hao was sick again, and he wasn't a lantern paste, and the serious illness a year ago was only half a year old, so he would be sick again.

Regarding the bombing of the bridge in the imperial tomb, Yaerjianga did not feel that Cao Hao, who had always acted cautiously, had the courage to do so.

In his opinion, Cao Hao is a courtier who is now a high-ranking courtier, and he must act according to his wishes.

The emperor is afraid of flooding the imperial mausoleum, so people can use the topic to play, and let Cao Hao weigh the pros and cons to blow up the bridge. Cao Hao himself is just carrying the black pot for the emperor.

Even the emperor doesn't care about the Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum, where is the turn of King Jian's mansion.

The Jian Wangfu line is not the blood of Taizu like the kings of other clans, and the first king is the nephew of Taizu.

King Jian's Mansion is an old palace, and there are palaces and palaces in Shengjing, so Yaerjianga sent his henchmen to Shengjing to inquire about the news.

It can only be said that Cao Hao is used to being cautious, except for Chu Yu and Imperial Doctor Bai, even Yi Duli treats him as "sick", not to mention the steward of King Jian's Mansion who can only be explored in the periphery.

As a result, Yaerjianga and Wanyan Yongjia received the news that Cao Hao was indeed seriously ill, and they couldn't help but start worrying.

It's not that I'm looking forward to my baby girl getting married soon, but I'm worried about the situation of the Cao family.

Cao's family room looks beautiful, but the rise and fall are all supported by Cao Hao's reading ability. Even if a few cousins are out of office, after all, they are separated from each other and separated from each other.

If Cao Hao really had a case, the young Tianyou would become the head of the Cao family.

Even if the Cao family has a title, the title and official power are not the same thing at all. Tianyou's age is too young, even if he is served, the emperor will not be too high-grade.

Even if the in-laws are all high-ranking families, relatives and friends are relatives and friends, not their own family.

If the Cao family wants to restore its current dignity, it will take a dozen efforts, not to mention a dozen efforts, and it depends on whether Tianyou is young and blue, and whether the future emperor will value the Cao family like the current emperor.

It's not Yaerjiang's snobbery, but it's just that he loves his daughter, thinking that as long as the Cao family has Cao Hao, his uncle only needs to be in the guard's office.

The errand of the guard office is idle and decent, which also allows the young couple to spend more time together; If Tianyou really becomes the head of the Cao family, for the rise and fall of the family, he will not only suffer himself, but he will not even be idle.

Yongjia is a woman, so she thinks more.

If Cao Hao really had a chance, Liugege's marriage would have to be postponed for three years. Liugege is sixteen this year, and he will be nineteen years old in three years, and God bless him that is also the year of the crown.

The burden of inheriting the heir is heavy and urgent, how can the six-grid son be comfortable?

In addition, Yongjia thought of his mother's side, although the family was implicated by the eldest brother and demoted the title, because of his father's qualifications in the army, although there were some troubles inside and outside the family, there was no big difficulty.

Then when her father died of illness, the second brother inherited the head of the family, and the family situation showed a declining appearance.

It's not that her second brother can't do it, it's just that the younger generation is low, and he is easily constrained in the family, and he has no qualifications in the officialdom.

If her maternal uncle over there in King Kang's Mansion is here, she can still pull it somewhat. The maternal uncle died of illness, and the cousin was a young man, and the palace was too busy to take care of himself, so he couldn't take care of his in-laws.

The situation of the Cao family is very similar to that of Wanyan Mansion back then.

Even if Cao Mansion has two in-laws of Chun Wangfu and Ping Wangfu, but on the side of Pingwangfu, Prince Ping retired, and the prince ascended to the throne; On the side of King Chun's Mansion, Prince Chun has often been ill in recent years, and he rarely goes out of the house.

These two families are all carrying their tails, where can they still take care of the Cao family?

Although he was worried a lot about his daughter, Yongjia was more or less really worried about the Cao family.

Since ascending the throne from now on, the fourteen Beizi have been placed under house arrest, and as the wife of the fourteen Beizi, the Wanyan family has been squeezed out and attacked.

Even King Kang's Mansion has less contact with the Wanyan family, but the Cao family can be consistent, which makes Yongjia extremely grateful.

Cao Hao and his wife arrived in Beijing yesterday, and the next day they handed over a post to the door, showing that they attached importance to this family affair, which was enough to give Jane Wangfu dignity.

Yarjianga and Yongjia were more satisfied, Yongjia immediately asked someone to prepare a few boxes of high-quality ginseng and deer antlers, and then said to her husband: "Master, since Mrs. Cao is visiting, you and I are not good to go over to explore the disease now, and it is too lazy to send people down, let the third elder brother go......

According to Yarjana's meaning, he wanted to go around by himself.

The front and back streets are just a cup of tea, and it doesn't take much effort. can remember that when I went back to Caofu, I asked my wife to complain when I came back, and I was a little embarrassed.

In addition, his identity visited the sick in the past, and he wanted to attract Cao Haoru to Dabin, which was really not kind. Is that a visit to the sick, or a toss for the sick?

Thinking of this, Yarjianga nodded and said, "Just do what Fujin said, but don't be too urgent, it seems that we have lost our reserve, let Yongqian Ming go over to explore the situation and send a reply by the way." ”

Yongjia thinks about it, they are women, and they can be friendly with Cao Jiaen, but it is not good to take the initiative to ...... * Cao Mansion, Jiuru Courtyard.

Cao Hao, who woke up from a nap in the afternoon, was receiving the sixteenth elder brother who entered the room directly.

Although Cao Hao has been "recuperating" for more than half a month, Imperial Doctor Bai has an idea in his heart, and this prescription is exquisite. It can nourish Cao Hao's vitality, but he will not be raised in vain.

In the medicinal soup he drinks every day, there are special medicines that defeat fire, which makes Cao Hao lose his appetite.

In this way, although Cao Hao's spirit is very good, his face is still as black and thin as if he had just fallen ill, and compared with before he left Beijing, he seems to have aged a few years all of a sudden.

The sixteenth elder brother looked at Cao Hao carefully, and then said with hatred: "Are you a child?" If you go out to Beijing to run an errand, you can exhaust yourself half to death? If it's just a beautiful scenery, it's thankless to survive, and it falls to the clan to complain, and the imperial history is impeached! ”

Cao Hao smiled and said, "It's just that I'm tired, but it's actually fine......

The sixteenth elder brother snorted coldly, and without waiting for Cao Hao to give in, he pulled a chair and sat down loudly: "It's all boiled like this, it's okay?" Do you have to give your surname to pay attention? ”

Cao Hao said "hehe" twice and said: "The water potential of the Liao River is really dangerous, if I don't see the situation everywhere with my own eyes, I really don't feel at ease...... Ninety-nine steps have been taken, if you make negligence in the last trembling, won't you be busy in vain? ”

The sixteenth elder brother frowned, lowered his voice and said, "You have a problem, you have to be cured!" ”

Cao Hao thought that the sixteenth elder brother said that he was "nitpicking", so he touched his chin and said, "It's the little family who is angry...... It's just a matter of the side, water and fire are ruthless, and it is related to people's livelihood and society, so I dare not be contemptuous. ”

The sixteenth elder brother almost gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, pointed at Cao Hao's nose, and said, "What did the master say?" ”

Seeing that he was really angry, Cao Hao was confused.

It's not this, it's which?

No one else knows about his problem, but the sixteenth elder brother does.

If you don't do anything, you can do it and do it perfectly.

Just listen to the sixteenth elder brother said: "There are eighteen flood control points around Shengjing, the farthest one hundred and eight miles away from Shengjing, and the nearest ten miles. From the beginning of June, you will ride back and forth to and from Shengjing at least three times each time. You have been to several places around the Da Liao River more than three times. Every day you set out at midnight (3 a.m.), and every night you have to turn back in the dark...... It's not that I can't bear the hardships of staying outside, but I'm worried that there is news from other flood control points, and I'm delayed outside, so I'll go back for a while, is what you said right? ”

As soon as the sixteenth elder brother said this, Cao Hao remembered the deep water and hot life of that month, and only felt that the roots of his thighs were itchy.

Because of the hurry, he spent more than ten hours on the horse every day, which made Cao Hao's thigh roots grind out calluses in a short period of time.

Seeing that Cao Hao didn't speak, the sixteenth elder brother continued: "In the past thirty days, you have been on patrol for a long time, running everywhere, and the journey has accumulated more than 10,000 miles...... I went to the hospital to check your pulse, and the reason for my illness was not only overwork, but also because of the rain and sun, cold and heat...... Tell me, what are you working so hard for? ”

Cao Hao didn't think there was anything wrong with him before, but now he feels like a stupid hat. yes, what is the purpose of such a hard work?

However, he was a little unconvinced, and he couldn't help but defend himself: "I'm thinking that the south is afraid of a big flood this year, and the reclamation around Shengjing can protect the best ......."

The sixteenth elder brother frowned and said: "Don't talk about Shengjing City, don't talk about Kentun, just talk about your actions?" Yes, you are a master, there is no difference, you can do this when you are in charge of a beach, and even the emperor will praise you for 'Shen Du'. But you're just cautious? You're used to it, and you haven't trusted anyone else! Who is Yiduli, you used to be a colleague, an old friend with whom you have been friends for more than ten years, and your deputy on this errand, you can't even believe him. You asked him to make a round, but he couldn't believe it, and he still had to find a way to run by himself, seeing is believing, yes or no? ”

Cao Hao's smile stared, and he felt that his face was hot, and there was an embarrassment of being exposed.

Is it distrust? No, he's just worried that something is missing.

But the sixteenth elder brother pointed out so bluntly, he couldn't deceive himself if he wanted to...... The sixteenth elder brother sighed, sat down again, and said, "I know, you are going back and forth to inspect, and you also want to deter those people, so that they can use greed for ink and silver in the repair of embankments and dams, and delay major events...... Why bother to see everything so clearly, sometimes you need to be confused when you are a person and do things......"

Cao Hao smiled bitterly: "Sixteenth Master, am I acting so conspicuously?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother shook his head and said with a bit of self-satisfaction: "How can anyone have the wisdom of the master?" Hmph, I've been messing with you for 20 years, and I still don't know how many intestines you have in your stomach? Even the thirteenth brother is only careful and cautious, for fear that you will be tired, he also specially transferred Yuanbai to the household department to help you......"

Cao Hao didn't know what to say, so he was busy thinking about the interaction between himself and the sixteenth elder brother to see if there was anything that showed "disbelief".

In his heart, there has always been a faint fear of the world.

In addition to Cao Song, who is a small and big man, and a few friends and sixteen elder brothers he made when he was a teenager, he can rarely trust others.

Because when they first met, those teenage friends were still like blank sheets of paper. And then the colorful life, a little outline, is also in Cao Hao's eyes.

To put it bluntly, it is to know the roots.

Replaced by other people, even if they showed friendly deeds in the exchanges, in the end, they were more vigilant and sorted out, and the friendship between the kings was as light as water.

It's nothing ordinary, and when he encounters serious things, he does have to bow down to things a lot.

In this way, this serious illness is really self-inflicted.

Cao Hao laughed at himself: "It's really wrong, it seems that it has really changed...... Otherwise, it won't take two years for me to exhaust myself to death......"

The sixteenth elder brother snorted and said, "It's good if you know, hurry up and recuperate, several provinces in the south have suffered floods this year, and the household department is going to be busy......"

Speaking of this, the sixteenth elder brother remembered his intention, not only to visit Cao Hao, but also to convey the news, so he said: "I just came out of the palace, Hongli has a letter to the imperial front in the morning, saying that he has boarded the ship and gone north, and he can arrive in Beijing before ......the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Although Cao Hao thought that his son would come back most of the time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he still felt relieved when he heard the letter.

However, thinking of Zuo Cheng again, he couldn't help but ask: "Does the Sixteenth Master have news of Huguang?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother looked at him with a smile and said, "This time, Fu Ruo is afraid that he will not be able to do so...... Yin Jishan appointed Hunan as an envoy to postpone his return to Beijing......"

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Yin Jishan has been promoted?" Why don't I know about it? ”

The sixteenth elder brother shook his fan and said: "The emperor's decree was made half an hour ago, you don't know it, and if you know, it's a hell!" Huguang, Miao and Han lived together, Yin Jishan had just taken the political envoy Yamen and the Yamen according to the inspection, one person was weak, the emperor ordered Yuanbai to stay, to help Yin Jishan, and the other official returned to Beijing to explain the errand. ”

Cao Hao was puzzled: "Yuan Bai is only seventeen, a seven-grade pen post style, where can he take on such a heavy responsibility?" Li Kuangshan has qualifications and talents, why didn't he stay in Huguang? ”

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao angrily and said, "You really don't understand, or pretend to be confused with understanding......
