In the blink of an eye, it was time to say.

It's already spring, but I don't know when the snow will start to fall at night.

When Cao Hao woke up, it was already snowy outside, and the sky and the earth were vast.

Cao Hao got up, walked to the window, and looked at the frost flowers outside through the glass window.

Chu Yu had already finished freshening up, took a set of clothes for going out, and served Cao Hao to change into. Today, at the request of Seshtu, Cao Hao and his wife are going to take their children to the Guogong Mansion as guests.

Last night, there were not only Seshtu, but also Cao Ying's husband Sun Jue. He also accompanied his wife back to the province, originally in Dongfu, and later learned that Cao Yi and his wife would also return, so he went to Xifu.

They are not outsiders, although Cao Hao didn't drink much after this meal, he was a little uncomfortable getting up early because of a hangover.

When breakfast was served, he drank a bowl of purple rice porridge with tofu sauce, and Cao Hao put down his chopsticks. Tianhui wore a new jacket and sat on the side, letting Chu Yu feed her.

Amethyst brought her mother-in-law and maids to protect Tianyou and Hengsheng. Both of them were dressed in big furry clothes and fur hats, and they looked round.

Because they were afraid of getting up early and seeing the wind, their breakfast was served in Aoi-in.

Seeing that Amethyst brought the children over, Chu Yu got up from the side of the kang and invited Amethyst to sit first, and then said to Tianyou and Hengsheng: "Did you use breakfast well, but are you a picky eater?" ”

Hengsheng smiled silently, Tianyou hesitated, looked up and said, "Mother, my brother is greedy for meat buns and doesn't drink milk." ”

"Brother......" Hengsheng muttered in a low voice, with a little dissatisfaction in his voice.

Tianyou turned around and said to Hengsheng: "Father said that if we are picky eaters, we will not grow tall, and then my younger brother will become a little man and will not be able to become a general." ”

Hengsheng tilted his head to listen, looked at the glass cup containing milk on the table, and his face showed a look of yearning.

Seeing this, Cao Hao picked up the milk cup in his hand and handed it to Hengsheng.

Hengsheng blushed and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, father......" After speaking, he took the milk cup, held it with both hands, and drank it with his neck up.

Amethyst watched from the sidelines, showing a worried look, and it was too late to stop it.

Holding the empty cup, Hengsheng smiled at Cao Hao and said, "Father, the children have all drunk, and the children are not picky eaters." ”

Cao Hao nodded in relief.

Amethyst couldn't help but be a little worried, swept the cup, pulled Hengsheng into his arms, and helped him rub his stomach.

While rubbing, he said to Cao Hao and his wife: "The second master ate four buns in the morning, and I was afraid that he would hold up, so I didn't watch him drink milk, but I didn't dare to let him eat so much tomorrow morning." ”

"Auntie, I didn't hold up...... Just ...... full," Hang Seng muttered in a low voice.

Tianyou was beside him, looking at his younger brother and grinning, and said, "My brother is a greedy general, so he chattered about meat, and in the middle of the night last night, he also shouted about meat......

Hengsheng was embarrassed, threw himself into Amethyst's arms, and muttered: "Father also loves to eat meat, and he is happy to eat meat." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Due to various problems left in his early years, Cao Hao was very picky about his diet. Some people can't eat meat. He is not a vegetarian and is an authentic carnivore. I think that even if there are times when the capital does not eat meat, it is mostly for a reason.

After returning from the grassland, he abstained from meat for a period of time, and his diet was mostly light.

Later, when the mental obstacle disappeared and he was able to eat meat, it became a little worse.

For a while, Cao Hao loved to eat mutton pots, and he had to serve several plates of mutton at each meal, and he ate it on the fire, and there were boils on his chin.

Chu Yu was afraid that he would hurt his body if he didn't adjust his diet, so he dissuaded him twice, but Cao Hao's slogan was "Eat meat and be happy". In particular, these mutton are from Mongolia, there is no smell, it melts in the mouth, and it is the most tender.

After eating it for four or five days, he was disgusted when he smelled mutton, and Cao Hao was too addicted to meat.

However, his sentence "eating meat is happy" made his sons listen to it.

Chu Yu remembered the scene when her husband begged for meat like a child, and Amethyst thought about Cao Hao's picky eater when she was a child. Although you don't want to be coaxed, you can't move the dishes that don't suit your appetite.

The old lady was afraid that her grandson's diet would not be adjusted, so she squeezed out several kinds of green vegetables that he didn't like to eat and used them as wonton fillings, and coaxed Cao Hao to eat them.

In the end, in front of the children, Cao Hao was also a little embarrassed, "coughed", and said: "The snow outside has not melted yet, the children are still young, don't freeze, don't take them." ”

Chu Yu listened to her husband's words, looked out the window, and hesitated.

Tianyou's face was already anxious, and he lowered his little hand and said: "Father, mother, children are not afraid of cold, children like cold the most." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Tianyou's body is not as strong as Hengsheng, and after this winter, although he is not as weak as Zuo Cheng, he has also been sick several times. The little guy is most afraid of pain, and when he sees snow in the sky, he shivers.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Oh, you like to be cold?" How did God you like the cold, when did you like it, aren't you afraid of freezing your face and hands? ”

Tianyou shook his little head vigorously and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, children have long liked the cold." Well, when, the day before yesterday, yesterday, yesterday's favorite ......"

As he spoke, he looked at Cao Hao nervously, for fear that Cao Hao would shake his head.

Where do you like to be cold, it's not because you want to follow your father and mother to my aunt's house.

Seeing this, Cao Hao didn't want his son to be disappointed, so he nodded.

Because the three of their brothers and sisters had to go over, there were many mothers-in-law and girls who followed. Everything was packed up, and Amethyst Fang led someone to send Chu Yu's mother out of the second door.

Chu Yu was afraid that Amethyst would be bored in the mansion, and wanted to invite her to the Guogong Mansion with her.

When Cao Yi came back yesterday and saw Amethyst, he also opened his mouth to invite him, so he didn't take the liberty of coming to the door.

Amethyst was impatient, and the mansion also needed someone to take care of her, so she politely rejected Chu Yu's proposal.

Chu Yu took Tianhui in a car, Tianyou took his younger brother in a car, and the maids and daughters-in-law took two big cars to wait. Cao Hao took the long entourage and rode a horse with him, and the group went out of the gate of Cao's Mansion and went to the Guogong Mansion.

* On the side of the Guogong Mansion, Seshtu's eldest brother-in-law, Zhong Hai, has already arrived early.

He thought about Brother Jiu's Yinwei for a while, and thought for a while that if he could take over the errand of the Internal Affairs Office, the family would soar and prosper, and he would be able to have face in front of his brothers, and his biological mother would not have to be in her fifties, and she would still set rules in front of his wife.

Thinking like this, his expression turned red for a while, and white for a while, both expectant and a little apprehensive, and it was uncomfortable to sit still, and it was uncomfortable to watch.

Although Seshtu was close to this brother-in-law, he also knew Cao Hao's temper, so he had to take a precaution first: "Brother-in-law, the younger brother and brother-in-law are square, not a person who easily favors others. On the brother-in-law's side, if you really want to take over the errand of the Internal Affairs Office, you still need to act in accordance with the regulations there. ”

Zhong Hai waved his hand and said, "I know this, don't worry, I won't embarrass Uncle Cao." It's just that by taking advantage of the cheapness of relatives, I will breathe first, and even if I don't take the lead in February, I won't be blind with dark eyes. ”

While talking, a little girl came to report that the seventh master and the seventh grandmother were coming.

"Seventh Master" is Seshtu's cousin, the nephew of the old prince Songhe.

This is still Zhong Hai's idea, in addition to him, invite one or two more people to accompany him, so as not to leave traces and attract the sideways attention of Brother Jiu.

Before bidding in February, Zhong Hai was reluctant to come forward and became the target of the Ninth Elder Brother's anger.

Song He had just entered the living room, and without saying a few words, the Cao family's carriage had also arrived.

The female dependents and children were welcomed into the inner house by Cao Yi; Cao Hao went to the living room and met Zhong Hai, Song He and others.

Everyone had seen it before, and it was not the first time they had seen it now, and since they were about the same age, they were not so restrained in their speech.

After saying a few words of homely things, when it came to the procurement of the Internal Affairs Office, in addition to Zhong Hai, even with Songhe's side, he was also interested.

It's just that his identity is limited, and the elders of the family expect him to get ahead, but he is not as casual as Zhong Hai. After listening, I only sighed in my heart.

Zhong Hai has been doing business outside the mouth all the year round, with a dark complexion, a short beard, and looks honest and reliable. It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, it was difficult to hide his shrewdness, with a bit of businessman's spirit.

If you are someone else, you must first find fault with Zhong Hai's mediocre background, and then you have to despise him for doing business. Cao Hao's side, but there is no heart for picky. Therefore, he patiently answered all kinds of questions raised by Zhong Hai without the slightest impatience.

Zhong Hai has been taking care of the family business for many years, working hard and running around, and he is used to being cold.

Cao Hao's gentle attitude made Zhong Hai grateful, and he thought in his heart that Cao Hao was "enough for the rivers and lakes". Although he does not lose the elegance of the children of the family, he is also a true man with a broad heart.

Cao Hao didn't know that he had reached a new height in the hearts of others.

In his heart, he was also secretly happy.

A family like Zhong Hai who wants to replace the existing several large families is not one or two.

From this point of view, Brother Jiu's plan to "boycott the bid" is afraid to be disappointed.

* Inner courtyard, upper room.

In addition to Cao Yi and Chu Yu's aunt and sister-in-law and children, there are also Seshtu's eldest sister Jue Luo and Songhe's wife Zhang Jia in the house.

Jue Luo and Zhang Jia, seeing that the three Tianyou brothers and sisters were carved in pink, they naturally had no mouth to flatter.

Tianyou and Hengsheng were fine, listened with a smile, and followed Chu Yu's instructions to give a salute to the two elders.

Jue Luo and Zhang Jia's side, they have to send a purse as a meeting gift.

There is a little thumb-sized gold and silver Ruyi in it, which is also a good luck.

Tianhui's side is led by the two elder brothers, and his actions are not as brisk as those of his brothers.

Jue Luo and Zhang Jiashi remembered that Uncle Cao and Da Gege's palm pearl had eye diseases, and their faces couldn't help showing pity.

Chu Yu only did not see it, and Cao Yi also turned the conversation to other things.

The Tianyou siblings and Shou'er were playing together, and the adults were talking together.

When it was time to start the banquet, someone came to report that the old lady had no lunch, and she looked a little unrefreshed.

When Cao Yi and Jue Luo heard this, they both panicked, and asked Zhang Jiashi to sit with Chu Yu for a while, and the two of them went to the mansion next door to see the Xitara clan.

Chu Yu wanted to say that she would go back first, but she knew that her husband was talking in the front yard, so she stayed and talked to Zhang Jia's family.

At this time, he saw Hengsheng coming, tugged on Chu Yu's sleeve, and pointed to the side.

Chu Yu followed his fingers and saw his daughter sitting on the kang, tears the size of beans welling up in her eyes, rolling down her little face one by one......
