Chapter 716: Burning Seven (Medium)
Cao Zhi has been worrying about the funeral of the eighth elder brother for a few days, and there is really no strange appearance of Li Wei. Seeing that he was worried, he thought that he was worried about his hometown, so he asked Chu Yu to prepare some tonics, and took his name card and asked him to take it with him.
In this case, if you are in a hurry, you can change horses at the post stations along the way.
Everything was packed up, and Cao sent Li Wei on the road.
What is Li Wei in history? If Li Wei's parents really have some changes and need to keep filial piety, they will come out again in three years.
When did the fourth elder brother and his model governor "meet"?
Cao Xian's own brain has been a little insufficient recently. Do you believe in the history you know, or do you not believe it?
Now, he is betting all his bets on the fourth elder brother, if there is a big difference in history, it will not be a joke.
The exhibition of things is not always arbitrary, and sometimes, the exhibition of things is not under Cao's control.
Taijichang Street, Ba'a Ge Mansion.
Like the garden of Haidian, the gate here is pasted with white paper, inside and outside the mourning hall, Fan, Zen, Tao, nuns, laymen, still reciting scriptures. It will be a month since the death of the eighth elder brother, and the funeral here is not as busy as it was at the beginning, and everything is in order.
In the inner hall. Ba Fu Jin is dressed in filial piety. There was a white bone flat square on his head. The rest have no other ornaments. She has a single braid on her left. The braid is slightly untied with a braided cord. Only wrapped his head around it.
According to Manchurian customs. After the death of her husband. The wife should wear heavy filial piety. Tear off your hair and put it in double braids. It's the day of the three. The braids are combed by the mother's family. Leave it down the next day. It's just a single braid on the left side.
Chu Yu was pulled to the side of the kang and sat down. With a bit of restraint.
Cao had already said two days ago that Bafujin wanted her to "burn seven". Speaking of which. Chu Yu is a little conflicted about his eighth uncle and eighth aunt's feelings. Let's say kiss. It is indeed closer than other uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts. But because of the bad relationship between the biological mother and the Beatitudes. It's not good to hurt the birth mother's center of the earth. Take the initiative to get close.
Eight elder brothers and eight blessings two. It was after the eighth elder brother was named Baylor in the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi. before the wedding was completed. and on the same day as they do, they do happy things. There is also the seventh elder brother. The seventh elder brother was also married to Qifu Jin after being knighted.
At that time, the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother were not divided. They live next to each other in the place where they are.
At that time, the seventh elder brother had already given birth to a pair of children on the same side of the Fujin Nara clan, and his feelings were strong, and he was mediocre to the newly married Qifu Jin. In addition to staying here for a few nights when I first got married, I was still in the side Fujin room at other times.
Chu Yu was three years old at that time, which was the rare age to recruit people, and he was not only the pearl of the seventh elder brother's palm. is the newlywed Eighth Elder Brother and Eight Blessings, and they really love this eldest niece.
Bafujin is his wife, and seeing that the seventh elder brother favors the side Fujin, he naturally holds grievances for Qifujin, and pinched his eyes to look down on the side Fujin. has used his identity to give the seven sides of Fujin a few times.
It was Qifujin who took the initiative to raise Chu Yu, and it was also Bafujin who gave the idea. In her opinion, this is the best of both worlds, which not only makes Qifujin have more opportunities to get close to Seventh Elder Brother; It also made Chu Yu follow his mother-in-law and receive better treatment.
There is no impermeable wall in this world, and Fang Fujin knows that his mother and daughter are separated by Bafujin, so he has to hate and complain several times by her husband's side.
On the side of Bafujin, he didn't want the eighth elder brother to be too close to the seventh elder brother, for fear that he would spoil his wife and kill his concubine.
came and went, under the influence of women, the relationship between the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother was also much more estranged.
Two years later, the elder brothers were divided, and the relationship between the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother was very delicate. Although the Seven Blessings and the Eight Blessings are better, the two provinces rarely interact. As the adopted daughter of Qifujin, Chu Yu is an exception, and often follows Qifujin to the Eighth Brother's Mansion as a guest.
Bafujin has been married for many years, and he has never been pregnant, and he is really close to this niece. Every time Chu Yu went to the Eighth Brother's Mansion, he returned with a full load, clothes, accessories, gadgets, everything.
Thinking of the past, looking at the thin Bafujin, Chu Yu couldn't help but soften in his heart, and said softly: "Aunt Eight also has to take care of her body, after all, there are still many things that Aunt Eight needs to take care of." What if Aunt Eight is tired? ”
Ba Fu Jin is really gritting his teeth these days, the eighth elder brother has just not had those days, and he has not slept for a few days, with gold in his arms, thinking that if he can't survive, he will be directly gone, and he will save his husband from being lonely underground.
Unexpectedly, there was another thing about moving souls.
Beatitude Jin has resentment, and he is also a little angry. She told herself that she couldn't let her husband become someone else's joke, and she didn't say anything about the decency that she had to do later. The eldest brother will also raise her wholeheartedly, always be a person in the world, and remember that she had a husband. Otherwise, if you go lightly, the entire Elder Brother's Mansion will collapse.
gritted his teeth and endured these days, listening to Chu Yu's heart-warming words, Ba Fujin couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Chu Yu's arm, and cried.
The cry was full of despair, and it was sad to hear.
When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't stand it, his eyes were red, he held back his tears, and opened his mouth to comfort.
Where can Bafujin listen to persuasion, he cried for a quarter of an hour before he slowly calmed down and choked to stop his tears.
"It's all nieces who can't speak, which makes my aunt sad." Chu Yu felt a little guilty when he saw Bafujin like this.
Bafujin wiped his tears, shook his head, and said, "Thank you Da Gege, I didn't shed tears for half a month, I thought I would become a wooden person in the future." Although I couldn't shed tears, I felt really uncomfortable, and I felt out of breath and was going to die. After crying this time, I feel much happier in my heart. ”
The maid brought hot water, and Chu Yu served Bafujin and washed his face.
When he saw the wrinkles at the corners of Bafujin's eyes, Chu Yu thought of the Bafujin who usually loved to wear red clothes in the past, and felt quite sad.
Bafujin cleaned up, pulled Chu Yu to sit down again, and said, "Look at me, Baba said this, almost mistaken the right thing." Today, I specially asked someone to pick you up, which is to lock up the matter of burning 'May Seven' for a few days. A few days ago, I told you Amma, and you Ama said that you want to see your daughter and son-in-law. For days, I waited for a reply, but nothing happened. These days, Cao Efu is so busy that he can't even see anyone. I really can't help it, so I have to take you here. Looking at Cao Eyu's meaning, I don't want you to come over to 'burn seven', my aunt wants to ask, what do you think, Da Gege. If you don't want to come, then the aunt will never be cheeky and force you. ”
There are some things that you just know by heart, but you can't put them on the table.
The Partial Eight Blessings are straightforward and fast-talking, and they don't care so much, so they say this straight to the point.
Chu Yu is a junior, but it is difficult to admit it, doesn't this prove that her husband is cold? She had to say politely: "Aunt Eight misunderstood, these two months are the busiest time in the yamen. He was busy with errands in the yamen, and he arrived home late every day. ”
Bafujin took Chu Yu's hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "No matter how he Cao Xiaozi is, my aunt wants to hear your truth." ”
"Auntie, after all, my niece has been out of the cabinet, and she is not as self-dedicated as she was in the palace in the past. There are still a few days, don't worry, auntie, I will discuss with my niece when I go back today. Chu Yu even answered honestly.
Although he didn't nod his head immediately, he looked at the meaning as if he wanted to agree.
On the side of Bafujin, he could only comfort himself and ask someone to send Chu Yu back......
Inside the Forbidden City, the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Yi Duli was wearing a patch suit, looking at the ground with a clear eye, but his mouth was talking about the anecdotes outside.
Although he is usually a little broken-mouthed, he is everyone's son in the end and has his own upbringing. In the jokes outside, if it involved the Cao family, he heard it when he heard it, but after that, he closed his mouth and didn't say a word
Cao listened to Yi Duli's gossip, and his eyes fell on the half-dozen official documents on the case. After being busy for the past few days, the errands to be cooked have been solved, and how to prevaricate the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion for the rest of the days.
Nowadays, the hottest gossip in the capital is not the mystery of the life experience of the Cao family's wife Li, who was rewarded by the Queen Mother, but the critical illness of the Minister of the Guard, the first-class duke.
The news that Alinga spit blood at the gate of the Eighth Elder Brother's garden has long been spread throughout the government and the opposition.
There have been rumors that the eighth elder brother and Ah Ling'a "get along", so the eighth elder brother was lonely underground, so he reported to Yan and detained Ah Ling'a.
This myth of gods and ghosts has always been undocumented.
In the six yamen, some people have already started to set up gambling games, just to see if Ah Gong can survive two months. can't survive, the odds are the lowest; It's one to two; survived, the odds are higher, one to one point five.
Cao listened to Yiduli's nagging, but his mind remembered Nalan Fusen's release.
The central figure of the Eight Masters Party, Ma Qi has changed camps and re-become the daughter-in-law relied on by the emperor; Alinga is in danger, and Syria has also lost his sacred heart......
It is people who look at the scenery, and sometimes it is not the scenery that looks at people.
After finishing the errand of the household department, it was already dark, and the fourth elder brother returned to Prince Yong's mansion with a little tiredness.
When he heard that the Eight Blessings Jin had taken Chu Yu over the house today, the fourth elder brother couldn't help frowning. He hesitated for a moment, then asked Dai Jindao, "How is the Cao family?" ”
"It's still business as usual, looking at what Cao Efu is doing, it seems that he doesn't want to have anything to do with it. However, the two staff members in his house have been a little strange recently. Dai Jin bowed and replied.
Hearing this, it aroused the curiosity of the fourth elder brother.
"Staff? What kind of people, compared to the previous Zhuang Xi, how are these two? As he spoke, his eyes lit up.
Speaking of which, he is really short of manpower here.
Even if it's not good to recruit people with great fanfare now, it's good to know where there are talented people and know what to expect.
"These two, but they impressed the minions, don't you know that Cao Efu knows?" Dai Jin took out a paper fold from his sleeve and handed it to the fourth elder brother with both hands.
The fourth elder brother took it, opened it and looked at it, and followed with the chant in his mouth: "Li Wei ......"
Cao's house, Wutong Garden.
"Eh, what shall we do?" Chu Yu said to her husband that she had seen Bafujin during the day, and said with a little hesitation.
Cao frowned slightly, thought hard for a long time, and then slowly stretched his brows, nodded and said, "Since it is all about you, then you should answer......
