Chapter 292: Thoughts
Because it is the Qingming Festival, I want to be busy with sacrifices in all provinces. When His Majesty Cao Yin came back and Cao Yi visited his father, the Li family did not leave more daughter Cao Yi, told her to go back to the house first, and asked her to say hello to the Xitara clan, and said that she would go to her in-laws again.
Before leaving, while the Li family was taking advantage of the Tuyi that the Li family brought to his in-laws, Cao Yi pulled his sister-in-law aside again, and asked a few words in a low voice with a red face. Although Chu Yu is the eldest sister-in-law, she is two years younger than Cao Yi, and she is ashamed, but she also knows that Cao Yi is asking seriously, so she endured her shame and replied in a low voice.
Cao Yi thanked her again, but Qiao'er Li's side also cleaned up, so she quit her father, mother, sister-in-law and others, and returned to Jueluo Mansion with her maid and mother-in-law.
After sending Cao Yi away, Li remembered the Zhao Jia clan who was about to enter Beijing and sighed. No matter what, Zhaojia and Cao Yi are both mother and daughter, one is sharp-tongued, the other is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and I don't know how to get along when the time comes.
After Cao Yin saw his daughter, he went to the study in the front yard. Although he was a little tired because he got up in the middle of the night, he didn't have the reason to say that he was in the inner house, so he was crooked on the kang in the study, but there was something wrong in his heart.
Although "cowpox" is a move that benefits the country and the people, but long live is based on the consideration of the society and the country, in order to prevent the Mongols, will it ...... When the cowpox formula was first obtained, he also thought about this possibility, and finally convinced himself. The emperor has the pride of the emperor, and should be willing to cover all the people in the world and achieve the name of "benevolent monarch" through the ages. However, he was a little undecided at the moment.
Long live the old man, his eyes are more sharp and vigilant, even in the face of the courtiers who have been friends for half his life, he also has a heart of inquiry.
An emperor in his twilight years became suspicious. Perhaps in his heart, his young and strong sons have become his opponents, and his obedient courtiers have become suspicious people.
Cao Yin held his forehead, a little headache, not knowing whether his decision was right or wrong.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard someone report that it was the uncle of the Li family and the young master of the cousin.
When Cao Yin heard this, he sat up and said, "Please come and sit in the hall!" With that, he walked out of the study and went out to greet him.
While speaking, Li Xu, Li Ding, father and son had already entered the living room one after the other. Cao Yin hurriedly gave up his seat and ordered the little servant to serve tea.
Li Xu sat down with a smile, touched his beard, and said to Cao Yin with a smile: "Dongting, I know that you arrived in Beijing yesterday, and you were worried about it, so you became an uninvited guest, don't blame, don't blame!" ”
Cao Yin waved his hand and said, "What does the eldest brother say about this?" Our dear dear, where can we talk about this? Today, because my majesty saw me, I got up early, and I didn't want to come back, so I wanted to look for you. As he spoke, he looked at Li Ding, who was sitting at the bottom of Li Xu, and asked, "Are all the errands for Xincheng done?" Is it divided into inner classes or outer classes? ”
"Xincheng" is Li Ding's word, he heard Cao Yin's question, got up and said: "Back to my uncle, my nephew is divided into an inner class, which happens to be the class of Nalan Fusen's guards, and the guard office said that Xu nephew will be on duty in the palace after the next retirement." ”
"Oh!" When Cao Yin heard this, he smiled and said to Li Xu: "Big brother, isn't this fate?" At the beginning, we were on an errand with Brother Rong Ruo in front of the Long Live Lord, and now the younger generation is like this? If Hao'er is still in Beijing, and he is also on an errand by the side of Long Live Lord, this can be called a good story. After speaking, he nodded at Li Ding again and motioned for him to sit.
Speaking of these, Li Ding was faintly proud. I think that when Cao Hao entered Beijing, although he was also a third-class guard, he was not in front of the emperor, but in the field; Later, he was wronged and was beaten half to death by Concubine Yi's nephew, and in order to appease the Cao family, he was transferred to the inner class.
Sun Jue used to make up the pen paste type, but now he is just a six-product master; He is only on an errand, that is, he is a five-grade guard, and Li Ding is still a little proud.
However, thinking that Cao Hao, who was a few years younger than him, was now already a positive fourth grade, Li Ding felt a little bored. is also inherited from his father, Nalan Fusen entered the palace as a second-class guard, but he was only a third-class, but he was just from a poor background. In the eyes of that Son of Heaven, except for the Manchurian bannermen, the Han people can only be regarded as slaves.
Cao Yin and Li Xu gossiped, before leaving for the south, he communicated with the Sun family, and also said that he was going to make the trip, but he didn't know why he was delayed, and he had not yet arrived in Beijing.
Don't say how Cao Hao and Li Xu greeted, but said that Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother came out of the glaze factory, and the sixteenth elder brother was still thinking about buying fruit boxes for the Li family, so everyone went around from the front door, bought a few Beijing eight things, and then returned to Cao's mansion.
As soon as Cao Hao dismounted at the door, a porter came up to lead the horse, and at the same time returned to the visit of the Li family's uncle and cousin.
Cao Hao nodded, glanced at the sixteenth elder brother, and said, "It's their father and son who are here, go, go in, and see each other together!" ”
The sixteenth elder brother was beside Cao Hao, and he also heard the proclamation from the concierge, frowned when he heard the words, and whispered to Cao Hao: "Why are they here?" Then I won't go in! Yesterday, Li Ding saw me and said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, but I only said that I was not free recently, and I will talk about it later. If this is encountered, it is not very good. ”
As he spoke, he motioned to the guards to hand the fruit box to Xiao Man, and then took out the brocade box in his arms and handed it to Cao Hao: "You give this to my aunt for me first, and I will come to visit her old man in two days." Anyway, now I have errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, and it is extremely cheap to get out of the palace! Today, let's go to the Thirteenth Brother's Mansion first! ”
Cao Hao nodded and said, "If that's the case, I won't keep the sixteenth master." When I went to the Thirteenth Master's Mansion, I asked the Thirteenth Master to say goodbye on my behalf, and said that I would go in person for these two days. ”
The sixteenth elder brother nodded in response, took the reins of the horse in Zhao Feng's hand, turned over on the horse, and left with everyone.
Cao Hao waited for them to drift away, Fang turned around and entered the gate, and explained a few words to the gatekeeper. Originally, he wanted to go directly to the hall to meet guests, but when he looked down and saw that he was dressed like this, it was inappropriate, so he went to the inner house to change his clothes.
In the living room, Li Xu asked Cao Hao where he was, and Cao Yin couldn't say that he was pulled by the sixteenth elder brother to play, so he said that he was pulled by the guards beside the sixteenth elder brother.
Li Ding was still pondering in his heart, and after inquiring around, he said that Cao Hao was good friends with the sixteenth elder brother. However, I saw the sixteenth elder brother yesterday, and I saw that he had the luxury of a heavenly family, and he didn't look like a character who could turn in his knots. Thinking about these words of friendship and the like, it was all deliberately said by the Cao family in order to save face.
Wutong Garden, Chu Yu and a few big girls are not there. Cao Hao wanted to find a set of clothes to change into, but he didn't know where to put them, so he walked to the door to look for someone, and just saw a maid coming after bowing her head and hitting the room, so she waved her hand and said, "You, come here!" ”
The maid stopped when she heard this, and then raised her head, but Cao Hao recognized that it was that Xiyu.
Cao Hao remembered that she was going to make a room for herself, she was a little embarrassed, coughed, and asked, "How many of them are the county lord and Xiyun?" ”
Xiyu leaned over and said, "If you go back to your forehead, Xiyun and Xicai will go to the wife's yard with Gege, and Xiyan and Xixia will prepare sacrifices in the kitchen." ”
Cao Hao nodded and ordered: "You go to the wife's room, tell the county lord, let her send Xiyun and Xicai back one, I want to find something." ”
Xiyu leaned over to respond, but did not immediately turn around and go out of the yard, but looked at the clothes on Cao Hao's body, paused, and replied: "Is the forehead looking for clothes?" The slave knew that the clothes were in the large closet outside the west room, the belt was in the chest on the north side of the kang in the back room, and the boots and hat were in the outer table. ”
A series of cabinets, boxes, and tables made Cao Hao have a headache when he heard it, and said, "Since I know, I bother you to help me find it!" ”
Xiyu answered softly and walked slowly into the upper room.
Cao Hao only sat in the hall, but he was in a trance. I don't know how long this happy rain is, every time I see it, it makes people feel very empty. It's the kind of heart that doesn't do bad things and has a weak heart.
When he came back a few years ago, it was the beginning of the two services of Xiyu and Xixue. Later, Cao Hao still called Cao Zhong's family and called Xiaoman to come in and comb his hair.
Otherwise, the daughter-in-law was not in front of her, such a flower-like girl was waiting in front of her, and Cao Hao was afraid that she would make a mistake in a daze. It's not that he doesn't believe in his character, but men, who are somewhat lustful, especially when he has abstinence for more than half a year because of filial piety, and it is when he can't think of women.
Thinking about it carefully, Xiyu is a little like Chu Yu, but not as hearty as Chu Yu, looking at the eyebrows a little sad.
Thinking of Chu Yu, Cao Hao immediately woke up and warned himself not to ponder. Even if history has changed now, I don't have to worry about the question of life and death like I did in previous years, but I can't "be full of warmth and silver desire"!
Although he occasionally envied the group of wives and concubines like the Sixteenth Elder Brother, he was only envious, and he had no intention of trying.
If he really accepts a beautiful concubine in the house, he is not a hard-hearted person, he is guarding his little wife and making love, I am afraid that I will worry that Chu Yu will cry with his son in his arms; If you keep Chu Yu, you can't help but think about the freshness over there. When the time comes, he is flawless, and he is not tired enough to panic, he is also lazy and tight, and he doesn't like to spend those thoughts.
After a while, Xiyu had already come out of the house with clothes, hats and other things. She hesitated for a moment, and said to Cao Hao: "Forehead, this set of Su Jin, are you okay?" ”
Cao Hao glanced at it, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Well, it's okay, you can leave it here!" I'm thirsty and want a cup of hot tea, so I'm bothering you to go to the kitchen and get some hot water. ”
Xiyu responded, put the clothes and hat in his hand on the chair, bowed his head and retreated, his eyes were already red.
She really didn't know where she was in the way, the upper room was empty, only two little girls were sweeping the floor in the yard, and no one else was in front of her. That's it, and the forehead still sent her out, for fear that she would dirty the house.
She is innocent and innocent, where is it dirty? The more Xiyu thought about it, the more sad she became, she couldn't help it anymore, and before she got out of the yard, her tears slipped down, and she hurriedly lowered her head to try her tears, not wanting to bump into Chu Yu in a trance.
Because in front of her mother-in-law, the sister-in-law came back, and Chu Yu was wearing a flag costume and stepping on the bottom of the flower pot. was hit by Xiyu, her body was grinning, and she almost fell, but fortunately, Xiyun and Xicai were helped. Even so, she still twisted her ankle, and the pain made her frown.
When Xiyu saw that she bumped into Chu Yu, her face turned pale and she was speechless in a daze.
Chu Yu came out of her mother-in-law's yard after listening to Xin'er and knowing that her husband had come back from outside. Seeing Xiyu's restless appearance and pear blossoms bringing rain, her heart couldn't help sinking.
Xiyun was annoyed, glared at Xiyu, and shouted, "Are you blind, hit Gege?" is still so upright, posing aggrieved, who to see? ”
Xiyu woke up, immediately knelt down, trembling and pleading: "It's a slave or a maid, please forgive the slave and maid!" ”
Chu Yu looked at this appearance that was three points better than herself, her heart was a little sour, she bit her lip, and said, "Go find Mama Xu to get ten boards." Tell Sister Amethyst that she stopped her monthly money for this month! The former sentence is to say to Xiyu, but the latter sentence is to tell Xiyun.
Xiyu kowtowed to receive orders, Xiyun also responded, and then Chu Yu was supported by Xiyun and Xicai and entered the courtyard.
Cao Hao changed his clothes in the house, heard the sound of talking outside the courtyard, went out and walked to the porch, and saw Chu Yu enduring the pain and being helped in. He was worried, and immediately said to Xiyun and Xicai: "Stop! Don't move! ”
As he spoke, he had already strode over, took Chu Yu in his hand, and asked with concern, "What's the matter, you twisted your foot?" ”
Chu Yu smiled and nodded, Cao Hao didn't feel a little annoyed, glared at her and said, "What did I say when I left in the morning?" I don't let you wear this, you wear it, it's a few inches high, it's strange not to twist your feet! As he spoke, he picked her up by the waist.
Although the pain in her ankle was terrible, Chu Yu didn't seem to feel it at the moment, and just looked at her husband with a smile.
Xiyun and Xicai followed behind, laughing lowly.
At the gate of the courtyard, Xiyu stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of him, but he seemed to be stupid.
