In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are more and more trivial matters in Caofu.

Because there are more people who are walking around with the Cao family this year, there are more Wei Bai family and Sister Gui, and Chu Yu has already prepared melons, fruits, grapes, crab mooncakes, and other things to welcome the festival.

Not to mention that the basket with white grapes and crisp watermelons with flower skin, it is said that this moon cake is baked by the master of Daoxiang Village through Caofu, and the raw materials used are three points finer than those in the shop, and the filling colors are also overwhelming. It smells fragrant, and when you eat it, you can't let people go.

Wei Bai is a rough person and doesn't feel anything; Fangcha saw that these things were more exquisite than the mooncakes prepared for the festival in the weaving mansion in the early years. The higher the door of Caofu, the old ladies and wives are still gentle.

Although Wei Hei and Vanilla are attached to Caofu, they are no worse than their second room. Yaohui studied with the Seventh Master Changsheng, and his food and clothing were similar to those of the son-in-law outside.

This said, Fangcha followed her sister-in-law Vanilla to the Guogong Mansion to ask Cao Yi for peace.

Rich and nourishing, noble and nourishing, Cao Yi's words and deeds are no longer the three girls who were frightened into Beijing at the beginning.

While Fangcha was sincerely respectful, she was also ashamed of her ignorance in the old way.

In Vanilla's heart, she was also ashamed of Cao Yi, but it was different from Fangcha. Like her, she plays a small waiter, and when she grows up, she accompanies the girl out of the cabinet. The girl sympathized with her back then, and she was reluctant to let go of her parents, so she finally stayed in the Cao family. Vanilla is a solid person, and while thanking the kindness of the three girls, she always feels that she is selfish and has committed the crime of disloyalty and injustice.

For this reason, over the years, although he has been released and taken off as a maid for the people, Vanilla still regards Cao Yi as the master in his heart. Every year, Cao Yi said that he had to make shoes and socks himself.

After Cao Yi added two little brothers, vanilla came to send them, and there were more little clothes and hats for the little brothers.

Cao Yi grew up with her in a small group, and her affection was more intimate than ordinary people, and she was familiar and close to her when she spoke. Even with it, it is also polite to the aromatic tea. also laughed at the fate of the two of them, one when they were young, and they became concubines when they were older.

Fang Cha looked at this eyes full of wealth, and her heart became more and more calm.

When I returned home that night, I looked at my sturdy husband and two sensible and filial sons, and Fangcha had a sincere smile on her face.

Although it is an old husband and wife, because Wei Bai is old, he has always been distressed by Fangcha, a young wife. Seeing that his wife was happy, Wei Bai was also in a good mood.

After dinner, he sent his son's subordinates down early, sat down next to Fangcha, and said, "Grandma is tired after going out for a long time, so I'll rub my grandmother's legs." ”

Seeing the husband of the five big and three rough making a gentle little gesture, looking funny, Fangcha couldn't help but "flutter" for a while, pushed him, and said: "Second master, don't be weird, let people see what it is, and the concubine can't stand it." ”

Wei Bai's hand had already moved from Fang Cha's calf to her thigh, rubbing and saying, "Yaozong is ten years old, add two more little brothers to him?" ”

Seeing that he was not honest, Fangcha grabbed his hand and said angrily: "It's not the second master who suffers, but the second master doesn't have a backache when he speaks!" ”

Wei Bai knew that she was not really annoyed, so he licked his face and stepped forward and said, "What kind of happy things did you encounter, and grandma also talked to the little one?" ”

Fangcha grabbed Wei Bai's arm and said softly: "Second master, drive Ming'er to make people repair the house on Zhuangzi in the countryside outside the city, and when the eldest and second eldest marry their daughters-in-law, we will go to Zhuangzi to support the elderly......"

Wei Bai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

The reason why he returned to Beijing with his wife and children was that in addition to being reluctant to give up his brother and Cao Hao, a large part of it was for his family, for the future of his sons, and his wife had relatives and acquaintances to move around, no longer as lonely as when he was in Henan.

"Isn't it good in the city, why do you want to go back to the country?" Wei Bai asked cautiously.

Fang Cha glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why else, reading those dogs and cats." Although the city is good, it is not as comfortable and leisurely as the countryside. Let's just say this grape...... Although it looks good, it can't compare to the freshness picked from the grape trellis. The second master likes to eat watermelon, and will add a melon field in Zhuangzi in the coming year. The second master wanted to eat it, so he went directly to pick the melon seedlings. ”

When Wei Bai heard this, he also remembered the words in the countryside, and he felt a little longing, "hehe" smiled and said: "Add melon land to me, what to add to grandma?" ”

Fangcha pursed her lips and smiled: "Chickens, ducks and geese are indispensable, so don't ask for the others." In the future, when we catch up with the holidays, we will use the things in the countryside to give gifts, who makes us a country family. ”

Wei Bai took her hand and said, "Don't wait for the eldest and second to marry a daughter-in-law." Since grandma likes the countryside, and it will be warm next year, let's go to Zhuangzi to live, and the right to escape the summer. If it's cold, it's cheaper to live in the city. ”

Fangcha nodded and smiled...... * Cao Mansion, Lan Courtyard, upper room.

Li sat on the kang and told Cao Hao about what he had seen and heard about entering the palace today. Today, Li and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law visited the palace to visit Concubine Mi.

Just listen to Li's words: "Concubine Mi is in the west palace of Cining Palace, the courtyard is not big, but it is elegant, and the garden of Cining Palace is behind it, and the scenery of plants and trees is good." Xiangyu is now on an errand in the West Palace, with the concubine Niangniang taking care of her, and she is more recuperated than when she was at home. Sun Shan was also on an errand in Cining Palace, beside Chen Guiren. I heard that Chen Guiren got the news and took the initiative to ask the concubine for help. She is grateful, her reputation is not high, but she also misses the old love of the Sun family. "At the end of the day, I was a little touched.

Hearing his mother say this, Cao Hao remembered the cousin Chen who had lived in the chrysanthemum courtyard. Although she has lost her nature, she is an out-and-out beauty, but now she can only wait for her old age in Cining Palace.

But think about the twenty-first elder brother, who is already fourteen years old this year, and will be knighted and opened in six or seven years. With Yongzheng's kindness to the younger brothers, and the courtesy of the twenty-first elder brother, this title should not be too low.

At that time, Chen Guiren's mother is more expensive than her son, and she will be able to go out of the palace to support her, and her son may not be as comfortable as Concubine Mi.

is to raise a kitten and a puppy and still have feelings, not to mention that Xiangyu has lived in Cao Mansion for so many years, and she is a well-behaved and likable little girl.

Hearing that she and Sun Shan were well settled, Cao Hao was also really happy.

You must know that this is also an advantage in Cining Palace, and in the future, the concubines will go out of the palace to support, and they will also hope to leave the palace as soon as possible.

"What about Wu'er? How is it? Cao Hao asked.

If he could choose, he would oppose Wu'er entering the palace. But at this point, he still hopes that his cousin's life will be better. He has always had pity for the poor and the weak, and he is also a cousin, like Chu Yu, he has a preference for the five sons who lost their father and mother when they were young.

"I didn't see her, but listening to the concubine's words, her life was fine. Although the quantile is not high, the queen and Concubine Xi like her very much, and they are often rewarded. At the mention of Wu'er, Li smiled a little reluctantly.

Seeing this, Cao Hao knew that there was another hidden situation, glanced at Chu Yu next to him, and diverted the conversation to the festival.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he and Tianyou went out of Beijing, and even took the house for the New Year to be a little deserted.

No, this is coming, Cao Fu was ordered an errand, and with his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites working on errands outside the examination room, he couldn't go home for the holiday.

"Take Wenqi's mother and daughter over for the holidays, save their mother and daughter from being lonely, and the house will be more lively." Li said with a smile.

Cao Hao and Chu Yu agreed, and Cao Hao mentioned the Wei family. Wei Wenjie is going to end, Aunt Gui took Wenzhi and Wenqiang's mother and son to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing for the first time, and it would be good to take it over for the holiday.

Aunt Li's Xigui is loyal and supple, and she really likes the few small ones of the Wei family, and she is willing to pick up people.

In addition to foreign guests, plus the people of the two provinces, they can also set up a few tables and be a little lively.

After talking to his son, Li couldn't wait to go to the Shaoyuan so that he could talk to Gao Taijun and save the old man from worrying about Xiangyu and Wu'er. You must know that in addition to Xiangyu, Wu'er was also taken care of by her old man when she was a child. It's just that Wu'er had just landed at that time, and he was still in swaddling clothes, so he didn't remember it.

Cao Hao and Chu Yu returned to Wutong Garden.

"What's wrong with Wu'er?" Cao Hao asked with a frown.

To say that Wu'er's appearance is outstanding among the older generation of sisters in the Cao family. In addition, she is smart, accustomed to reading people's faces, and acts gently and gently. If such a fifth child is still unstable in Elder Brother's foothold, it can only be said that Hongli's kid is too picky.

The women in the palace are closely related to their mothers outside the palace.

If Hongli is unbearable to treat Wu'er, it will also be a slap in the face of the Cao family.

"Fifth sister, if you suffer a loss, you will suffer at a young age. The concubine didn't say anything, but she heard that there was a favored palace person by the fourth elder brother's side...... However, the fourth elder brother also knows how to measure, and the affairs of the elder brother are now made by the fifth sister to take care of others. The fifth sister is sensible, she doesn't dare to be self-absorbed in everything, and she follows the rules. If there is anything I don't understand, I asked Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu Niangniang, and they never want to take one more step. Chu Yu said.

Others don't know, but Cao Hao does. Qianxiaosi is a seeder, and his lust is famous in history.

If Wu'er wants to serve people in Israel, there will always be a time when Fanghua will pass away. Qianlong lived to be eighty-eight, and even if the fifth son lived a long life, it was impossible for him to remain honored. The harem concubines, when they reach the age of fifty, will have to withdraw their green head cards, and they will not be qualified to serve again.

Her choice now is a safe move. The biological mother and adoptive mother of the fourth elder brother are all filial, and there is still a mother's family outside to support him, even if he is not favored, he can gain a foothold in the palace.

"In the end, the name is not right, and the words are not good. Even if it is a side blessing, it is stronger than the current one. Cao Hao knew that this "Gege" was not a few points higher than the palace maid, and he didn't have to wait for Hongli's wedding, as long as he pointed to the side Fujin again, Wu'er would have to retreat.

The flag people are polygamous, and the Fujin on this side is also going to go to the jade to sacrifice to the ancestors. It is not uncommon for the prince's mansion of the clan to be raised by the Fu Jin and the side Fu Jin to be the director of the family.

Chu Yu smiled: "What is the hurry? It's still early for the fourth elder brother to open the mansion, and when the fifth sister adds a little elder brother to the back, maybe she will be able to raise the side of Fujin. ”

Cao Hao didn't answer, thinking that the emperor had ordered a lot of academic politics, including Henan, so that Cao Xiang would be able to return to Beijing on an errand before the year.

When the Cao Song brothers have a good career, they don't need to have five children to give birth to a little brother, and Hongli will not treat five children badly.

As a son of the Cao family, he really can't be slack, which not only affects the glory of the family, but also includes the fate of the Cao family's daughter.

This is the case with the current five sons, and the same will be true for their sisters in the future......*
