Chapter 978: Winter Moon
Although it is said that it is related to the birthday gift, before today, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were sent away. But now it is said that it is intimate, and it is impossible to say that it is not possible to see the previous side.
Earlier, because of his sincere closeness, the sixteenth elder brother gave the Li family a "aunt", and it was only in the past two years that he changed his name.
It is not right to call "sister", and it is unreasonable to call "Mrs. in-law", so the sixteenth elder brother compromises, if he can not call him, he will not call people, if he calls people, he will only call Li's "Mrs".
Because Cao Hao sent someone to the second gate before, all the ladies and relatives of the Lanyuan Birthday avoided it, leaving only the Li family and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to meet the two princes and elder brothers.
Thinking that the two noble people in front of him were his siblings, the Li family was a little stunned.
They are the uncles of their own sons.
Could it be that they are the surnames of the bones and blood, because they are uncles and nephews, so they have the right temper and fall in love with each other?
Look at them carefully, they don't look like their own sons. Speaking of which, these two princes are younger than their own sons. Think about the twenty-four elder brothers in the palace, who are younger than Tianyou.
This mess of generations is a headache when you think about it.
The Li family decided to put all this aside, or to do it as usual, first invite the two elder brothers, and then ask the sixteenth elder brother about the current situation of the concubine.
Before getting the treasure of Horqin, the Li family talked to the sixteenth elder brother like this.
In this way, it relieved the restraint of the sixteenth elder brother, and he almost blurted out "aunt" several times during his speech.
The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother still had to rush out of the city in front of the gate of the city, Cao Hao ordered a banquet in the front yard, in addition to entertaining the two elder brothers, as well as their entourage, they also made people sit down.
Orchid Courtyard, West Wing.
This is Changsheng's study, and the pineapple rice bookshelf is full of all kinds of books. Although there are no rare books, I have bought almost all the new books published by the Beijing Bookstore in recent years.
This kind of study is not unique in Caofu. The front yard and the Kwai courtyard also have two small study rooms that are about the same. The books in all three places were bought in one place.
Cao Hao is not afraid of children reading miscellaneous books, growing more knowledge, and being more knowledgeable, it is better than them holding textbooks and becoming nerds.
He doesn't want his children to become Confucian children, but to be able to gamble on the strengths of a hundred schools.
Because the two elder brothers came to see the Li family, Jinghui took her sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Han Jiang's family, and Jiang Jian's fiancée Zhong Lingjia to avoid coming here.
Looking at half a room of books, others didn't notice anything, but Zhong Lingjia couldn't take his eyes off it.
Earlier, in Li's room, looking at the quaint furniture and furnishings, she only knew that it was extraordinary, but she couldn't say where it was good.
She is the daughter of a talented family in the countryside, although she knows a few words, but her knowledge is limited. only knows that those utensils are exquisite and worthy of the word "good", but she can't say exactly how good and where they are.
To say that the surface is bright, those ornaments are not as good as the "jewels" of the rural landlord's house.
She only knew that books were not cheap, especially for this well-bound set of books, and the price was even more expensive. When she was in her hometown, she also had some books at home, most of which were copied by her father and brother after borrowing other people's books.
Changsheng is the youngest son of Mrs. Li, she has seen it in the morning, but she is just a child, and she can have half a room of books, which shows that it is really as her aunt said, the Cao family is a noble family.
The fiancé is making a curtain in such a family, I don't know if it is difficult or not? Although she has never met her husband, she grew up listening to his stories and knows that he is a "chivalrous and benevolent" person.
I'm just a country girl, what can I do to help my future husband?
Zhong Lingjia looked at the bookshelf so intently, which naturally attracted the attention of others. Occasionally, someone looked at her, and she didn't notice it.
It's just that she is a guest, and others don't want to ask much about what to count.
Only the fourth sister is a real person, just if she likes these books, she said with a smile: "Sister Zhong has seen rare books in her heart?" This is the house of the seventh brother, and it is not easy for others to call the shots. But this bookshelf is not only available in the Orchid Courtyard, but also in the front yard. My sister just remembered the title of the book, and then sent a message to Mr. Jiang, and asked Mr. to change it for my sister. ”
Zhong Lingjia nodded and said, "Thank you for the advice,"
While talking, I saw Xiuque pick up the curtain and come in, and said: "The second wife, the fifth wife, the sixteenth master, and the seventeenth master are out of the second door, and the old lady please invite the wives and aunts and grandmothers back to the upper house......"
The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother returned to the front yard, and this table was almost prepared. However, there is half a table of fresh vegetables and vegetables, which looks at the oily and oily, which arouses people's appetite.
The two of them ate sweetly, and they ate a round belly without Cao Hao's concession, and then left with the long guards.
When he arrived at the city gate, it happened that the captain of the city guard was leading people to close the city gate.
The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother went out of the city smoothly, and when they arrived at Nanyuan, it was already dark.
At the end of Cao's house, the banquet had already ended, and several female dependents went back to their own homes. Cao Hao thought about the matter of Tong's mansion, so he moved to the Lan Courtyard.
Li was a little tired, crooked on the couch, and let the maid knock her legs.
Seeing her son coming, she sat up and said with a smile: "It's all late, why did you rush over again?" ”
Cao Hao didn't answer immediately, and looked at the maids who were standing.
Seeing this, Li knew that his son had something to say, so he waved his hand at the embroidered bird and the embroidered crane and sent them out.
"What's going on? But what do the sixteenth and seventeenth masters command? Li said with some concern.
After the Cao family entered Beijing, the people who came and went were more noble than in the past, but it also made the Li family worried, for fear that there would be any disasters or changes.
Cao Hao shook his head and said, "It's not because of this, it's for the side." ”
He told the sixteenth elder brother about the incident of Tong Furu's wife Li Si'er making trouble in Prince Yong's mansion, and finally came to a conclusion: "Even if my mother wants to go to Uncle Guo's Mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is not good to take my sisters with her, so don't take them out." ”
With Li Si'er's temper, I don't know what tricks to make when I pour it, and when it comes to chaos, I don't know what it will become.
When Li heard this, he was a little embarrassed when he thought about Zhao Jia's intentions.
"Your second aunt wants your two cousins to go out to see the world, these people are busy with these things for Zhang Luo, Zhang Luona, how can you say that you can't go now?"
Li hesitated like this, Cao Hao saw her concerns, and said: "In the winter moon, there are many entertainment in various mansions. When the time comes, with two younger sisters, it will be considered that time. The left and right sisters are still young, and when they turn their minds to Chu Yu's filial piety, they take them around the mansions, and it is just a gesture. ”
Li thought about it and nodded...... The next time, Cao Hao was still at home, rested for a while, and even took Jiang Jian to be idle.
He thought that he should go to the front door, in addition to discussing the marriage date, that is, to ask about the dowry and dowry.
Wu Sheng was instructed to help Jiang Jian marry his relatives, so he went with him and planned matters related to welcoming his relatives. It's almost set, and now it's up to the parents.
The uncle in Zhong Lingjia's residence is not a real uncle, but a cousin uncle, who is old and wants to drag him to drink when he sees Jiang Jian. Because he is a fellow countryman with a local accent, Jiang Jian only feels familiar, which makes people want to get close.
Because she is the daughter of a commoner, Zhong has no maids by her side. There was only one widowed aunt who accompanied her to Beijing.
Jiang Jian mentioned the matter of marrying the uncle within a month, and then asked the old aunt to speak.
When the old aunt arrived, Jiang Jian presented the silver box she brought. There are two hundred taels of silver in it, and Jiang Jian added makeup to his little wife...... In the third year of junior high school, Cao Hao's vacation was over, and he still returned to Nanyuan for shifts.
It was cloudy from midnight, and in the morning, it began to snow.
At first, it's like sprinkling salt, and then it's like pulling off.
Cao Hao was in the tent, dealing with the two official documents, and when he felt that his wrist was sore and he got up to come out, in the afternoon, the entire station was shrouded in a white expanse.
"Ruixue Mega Year?" Cao Hao muttered.
In the past few years in Beijing, he has also understood that the boundaries of the capital have nine droughts in ten years, and it is not easy to give a good year.
In the imperial tent, charcoal trays are placed at the four corners, making the house warm as spring.
Zhiran sat opposite Kangxi, and there was a game between the two. It was not Kangxi who was playing with him, but the emperor Hongli next to Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at the chessboard at first, and after looking at it for a while, he only felt dizzy, and he couldn't sit still.
On the chessboard, the fight was fierce, which attracted Hongli and Zhiran's full attention on the chessboard, and they didn't dare to be distracted.
If they look up or turn their heads, they will find that Kangxi's face is white and scared, and his forehead is sweaty.
The chessboard was still fighting, but Kangxi was a little unsteady, and his body had begun to tremble.
The first to notice that something was wrong was Zhiran, and when he just looked up, he happened to meet Kangxi's pale face, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Hongli followed his line of sight. Seeing his grandfather's appearance, he immediately got up and said, "Huang Marfa!" ”
Kangxi nodded, looking at Hongli, who was full of attachment and worry, and liked it more and more.
"Huang Ma Fa, are you uncomfortable? Let's send the Imperial Doctor over. Hongli said cautiously.
Kangxi wanted to wave his hand and say no, but his body was weak and he had already leaned to the side. Hongli hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, feeling a little flustered in his heart.
"What should I do?" Hongli asked Zhiran.
Zhiran's gaze shifted from Kangxi to the mouth of the tent, and said in a low voice: "Don't be public, the Mongols are still watching!" ”
At this moment, Kangxi had woken up and looked straight at the emperor's grandson.
Hongli's tears fell, he looked at Kangxi and said nothing.
Kangxi sighed in his heart and said, "I'm fine, but I slept late last night, and I'm a little tired today." Go down first, and I will rest for a while. ”
Hongli and Zhiran responded and exited the tent.
Not far away, I saw Hengsheng and a little novice waiting there.
Looking at Heng Sheng's face flushed by the cold wind, and his trembling style, Zhiran couldn't help frowning. He opened his mouth and tried to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
"The fourth master came out, look at this snow like this, the snowball fight is the most interesting. The twenty-first master asked people, should we go to find them to play? Hengsheng asked.
Worried about his grandfather's body, where is Hongli having leisure and leisurely games, shook his head, and said: "It's cold, even if you want to play, you have to pick a warm one......
