Even in Cao Hao's heart, she regards amethyst as family, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a big girl in the Cao family who has waited for the elderly.

Cao Hao also didn't want Amethyst to become someone else's after-dinner conversation, and the news of her death was not well known. directly concealed it, leaving only the two housekeepers' daughters-in-law to stay on the Taoist temple's side.

After burying his father and on the way back to the city, Cao Hao arranged for someone to pull Amethyst's body directly to Guanghua Temple.

Cao Hao felt a little tired, and before he came out of the pain of losing his father, he had to face the death of his relatives again. Amethyst's death caught him off guard.

He never thought that Amethyst would leave the Cao family in this way. In his cognition, Amethyst is like a character that will always exist. Even if there is a heavenly blessing and Hengsheng marrying a wife and having children, Amethyst will feel there.

Amethyst's death, in addition to Cao Hao, the saddest thing is God's blessing and Hengsheng.

Three days after the death of Amethyst, Cao Hao and Chu Yu took several children to Guanghua Temple to worship.

It was only at this time that Tianyou and Hengsheng knew that "aunt", like their grandfather, had left them forever. The little brothers couldn't cry so much that they even took Cao Hao and Chu Yu with them.

Not to mention the Cao family's successive funerals, how sad and bleak, the capital is full of excitement and joy.

This year is the year of the draft, even if the holy driving soup spring is recuperating, not in Beijing, there is still a palace concubine to preside. Whether they are defeated or elected, they are busy doing happy events.

The legacy of the Eight Banners is full of people, and men have to add women to warm their beds before going on the expedition, which is actually to "keep roots".

The fourteenth elder brother still has the filial piety of the queen mother, so he won't say anything; The rest of the expedition clans, none of them were left behind, and all of them were rewarded by the show girls.

It was Pingjun Wang Nersu, and he was also pointed out to two show girls. Fortunately, his background is ordinary, but he is just a concubine, and he does not seal the side of Fujin, otherwise Cao Jia's family will die.

Hongshu's side also added a concubine.

Cao Hao was still wearing white filial piety, and except for occasional visits to Guanghua Temple, he was closed at other times.

Unexpectedly, by mid-November, the Cao family finally got into contact with the Western Expedition. Cao Song, who was on duty outside the guard office, was selected as one of the thirty guards who accompanied the fourteenth elder brother on the expedition.

When Cao Song first heard the news, he couldn't be called happy and was a little dazed. If it hadn't been for the uncle's death, perhaps he would have happily shown off to his brother.

After all, it is every man's wish to be able to go to the battlefield.

However, now that my brother Ding is worried, he is in front of him, and he can still explain two sentences; If he is far away, when his brother is sad and sad, he will not even have anyone to talk to him.

The attachment to family affection made Cao Song extinguish his fame.

He made a special trip to find the Minister of the Interior of the Guard, who was in charge of the White Banner, to discuss whether he could be removed from the list of the Western Expedition. The answer is no.

The guards that can be drawn from the guard office are limited, and they can't be the only son in the family, so there are only a few people to choose from. Besides, this list was finalized by the fourteenth elder brother.

Cao Song's side, unless he can say that he can move the fourteenth elder brother, he can come down from the list.

When Cao Song heard this, he could only hang his head and come out of the guards. The fourteenth elder brother has also seen a few times in the palace, and Cao Song only has a thousand requests for peace.

Coming out of the palace, Cao Song went home and went directly to Xifu.

Hearing that Cao Song was going to the northwest with the fourteenth elder brother, Cao Hao was a little stunned.

According to history, this is not a walk around the northwest and then come back, but also to Tibet Province. Moreover, it was not until the Kangxi Dynasty was over that the battle was over.

That's three or four years.

Others don't know that Cao Hao came from three hundred years later and knew the words "altitude sickness". Not to mention that today's traffic cannot be compared to 300 years from now. Walking through this experience, even if there is no worry about the surname, but it is indispensable to endure hardships and sins.

Cao Hao was a little reluctant and asked, "Can you find a reason to push it?" ”

Cao Song shook his head and said, "I'm looking for the Minister of the Interior, but I can't push it." ”

"It's nothing else, it's just the bitter cold in the northwest, and it may take several years to go." Cao Hao said.

At this point, Cao Song didn't scratch his sentence, patted his chest and said, "Big brother, don't you worry, didn't my brother go to Gansu that year?" was selected this time, and others still envy my younger brother! This doesn't have to wait to get out of Beijing, and you can be promoted to the second class. When the northwest comes back after a few years, maybe it will be a first-class guard. ”

Cao Song is still young, and he has been in the northwest for a few years, which can be regarded as a qualification. Coupled with Nersu and Hongshu who traveled with him this time, Cao Hao had nothing to worry about.

"Hurry up and send people out to buy a good armor for you, and when you go out, you must always protect yourself." Speaking of this, Cao Hao regretted it a little.

I knew that Cao Song was also on the expedition, and Hongshu's soft armor should be sent later, find a good craftsman to compare it to, and make a similar one to Cao Song...... * Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion, living room.

Brother Ten glanced at Brother Nine a few times, and said with a smile: "Brother Nine seems to be comfortable eating in Luoyang, and his waist is getting longer." ”

The ninth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother and said, "This is called rich state!" It's you, the tenth brother, the cat has been 'recuperating' in the house for many years, why is it getting thinner and thinner? ”

The tenth elder brother was a little uncomfortable on his face, and he didn't answer the words of the ninth elder brother, and asked, "By the way, ninth brother, where are your cigarettes?" The ones you sent back before tasted so good. I can't guarantee others, but I'm in love with it! ”

"The tenth brother is indispensable. Now it is being distributed everywhere, and within a few days, there are cigarettes sold everywhere in the capital! Brother Jiu raised Erlang's legs, and his face became a little more proud: "Let's also leave a name in history!" Fifty years later, a hundred years later, when others talk about this cigarette, they have to mention the ninth master. ”

When Brother Ten heard this, he just laughed.

Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "There's nothing to say?" ”

"Say what? The old fourteenth general, the prince's guard of honor went out of Beijing, this is all told to Brother Jiu! "Brother Shi's side is a little confused.

"The seventh brother is in charge of the blue flag, the tenth brother is in charge of the yellow flag, and the twelfth brother is in charge of the white flag!" Brother Jiu said.

"It's just that Huang Ama is looking at us leisurely and putting on a name." Brother Ten waved his hand and said disapprerovingly.

Seeing that he had no calculations, Brother Jiu was a little envious...... * Pingjun Palace, Inner Courtyard.

Seeing Cao Jiashi lying on the soft couch, Nersu stepped forward, sat next to her, and said, "What? Feeling uncomfortable? ”

"If you don't accompany the beauty, why do you think of my old wife?" Cao Jiashi glanced at him and said.

When Nersu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fujin is still an old woman?" Go out and ask, who would have thought that our son would be eleven. I have gray hair, and Fujin still looks the same as when I first entered the mansion. ”

"Master coaxed me, they are all yellow-faced women, where can I compare to the little girl who is smart. It's not that I like to be sour and jealous, but I have to take care of my body. Cao Jiashi said with a bit of disgust.

"Okay, don't talk about this, it's weird. I'm not happy to stay in someone else's room, aren't you filial? Nersu grabbed Cao Jia's hand and rubbed it: "If you marry in, how will I treat you, don't you know in your heart?" ”

Cao Jia's eyes were already red, and he said softly: "I know that my lord loves me, but I am reluctant to go so far." ”

Nersu's side, thinking about this trip, I don't know when I will come back, and I can't help sighing.

He was like this, Cao Jiashi was a little reluctant, and said: "Fortunately, Fu Peng is eleven, like a little adult, with him at home, I also have more backbones." You don't have to worry about your family, just take care of yourself. ”

Hearing the mention of the eldest son, Nersu hesitated for a moment and said, "Fu Jin, after I leave, Fu Peng Xu is going to enter the palace!" ”

"Into the palace?" Cao Jiashi was puzzled: "Okay, what is Fu Peng doing in the palace?" Say hello to the emperor? Or ......"

"Xu is going to raise it in the palace for a few years, and it is the emperor's grace to the left and right." Narsu said lightly......
