Cao Mansion, study.

Cao Hao and Cao Yin's father and son have been arguing for half an hour, and no matter what Cao Hao says, they can't change Cao Yin's mind.

"Does the father want his son to be unfilial?" Cao Hao really couldn't, and said with red eyes.

"Hao'er?" Cao Yin looked at his son and said in a low voice.

"It is the most painful thing for a son to be raised but not to be a son. The father endured it, let the mother lose her husband, the son lost his father, God blessed, Hengsheng without a grandfather? Cao Hao's face did not have ordinary obedience, and Zhengse said.

Hearing this, Cao Yin frowned, and he didn't know if he should teach his son a lesson, don't be like this. I'm just going on a long trip, what life and death.

"Hao'er......" Cao Yin straightened his face and said: "Why is it that at this point, you have always been sensible, and you should be able to be compassionate to your father." Your second uncle is not alive, and your uncle is also a father, so I just do what I should do. ”

"Thousands of miles away, and catching up with the scorching heat, how can my father's body withstand this toss? The son still said the same thing, and did not agree with the father to go. Cao Hao looked at Cao Yin and refused to retreat.

A few years ago, Cao Yin was seriously ill, although he was cured, he was also seriously injured and his body was weak. In the past few years, I have been taking medication to recuperate, and I am only slightly better.

Cao Yin saw that his son was "disobedient" and stroked his forehead.

"What if you don't have great ambitions, what if you don't distinguish between public and private, the son only wants his father to live a long life, not to be famous." Cao Hao said: "Stepping into the official career is not what my son wants, but as a son of the Cao family, in order to maintain the safety of his family, he has to bear these responsibilities." ”

What is a father? Before the children grow up, the father is a towering tree, sheltering the family from the wind and rain; When the children grow up, they may be a verbose old man.

Fathers are an integral part of the family at all times.

Cao Hao knew that his father's condition was not good, not like a portrait of longevity, and he was always worried in his heart. I wonder what will happen to my mother when my father is gone?

"Please be considerate of his son's filial piety and let his son do his filial piety." In the end, Cao Hao was a little moved, looked at Cao Yin and said.

Cao Yin's expression also changed and changed, and finally sighed and said, "Hao'er, for your father's filial piety, you should also be sympathetic to your mother's motherly heart." ”

"Father, it's just that the momentum is loud, and the civil unrest is not a rule, otherwise it will be Rehe who is in a hurry." Cao Hao said: "My son has already given the emperor an excerpt of the request, and when the will comes down, my son will leave Beijing." ”

Cao Yin looked at his son's resolute face, sighed, and finally didn't say anything.

Cao Hao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Father, is Fang Chonggong recommended to the emperor by his father?" ”

When Cao Yin heard this, he didn't answer, but just looked at his son with an unpredictable expression.

"Even if Fang Chonggong cures Tianhui's eye disease, if he doesn't find out his details, the emperor will not use people easily." Cao Hao said.

Cao Yin said: "It's not that I recommend it, but the emperor did issue a secret decree to inquire about Fang Chonggong's medical skills." The reason why I can use him is not because of my recommendation, but because Qi Niang is in Cao Mansion. ”

Cao Hao listened to it and was really depressed. The relationship between the Cao family and the royal family is here, and he must not be in this position, he does not want to involve innocent people, not to mention that Fang Chonggong is his benefactor of Cao Hao...... Three days later, under the holy decree, Cao Hao went to Henan Mansion to thoroughly investigate the prison escape case. Several of the main culprits who escaped from prison this time were the leaders of the civil unrest in Henan Province.

After explaining the errand at hand, Cao Hao transferred the tax payment situation of Henan Mansion in recent years from the household department, and checked the resumes of several officials in Henan Mansion in the Ministry of Officials.

When the sixteenth elder brother got the news, he entered the household branch yamen with a pale face, and for the first time put up the score of the prince's elder brother, and coaxed out the pen posts of the errand outside.

"Cao Hao, I know you care about your cousin, but you don't dare to act like this? What's going on? It's civil unrest, what is civil unrest? Everyone doesn't dare to say it, isn't it just 'the government forcing the people to rebel'? Others are afraid of getting involved, this rat bogey. It's good to go when you go, and it's not difficult to quell the chaos, but when it comes to the inventory, how many people will you offend? You're not a fool, you can't believe it! The more the sixteenth elder brother spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he jumped to his feet in anger.

Cao Hao smiled bitterly, he was most tired of trouble, but what was the way.

A Cao Xiang, without news, he can bear it; A reckless Cao Song went down, coupled with a weak old father, how could Cao Hao be indifferent.

"If it really comes at that time, I will ask the Sixteenth Master for shelter." Cao Hao said.

The sixteenth elder brother said this, so he waited for Cao Hao's sentence, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Cao Hao said with a smile: "It's just that this year's birthday of the sixteenth elder brother can't catch up, don't blame the sixteenth master." When he came back from Henan, he was determined to find some soil to honor the sixteenth master. ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he glared at Cao Hao and said, "You still have the heart to laugh, do you want to go to the mountains and rivers by yourself?" ”

Cao Hao picked up a folding fan from the bookcase and opened it, shook it and said: "Luoyang peony is the best in the world, I have long longed for it; Although the flowering period has passed now, it is good to taste the Luoyang water mat. ”

This fan was painted by the sixteenth elder brother himself and given to Cao Hao.

Cao Hao felt that the picture of the fan sent from outside looked plain, and he used this fan after the summer.

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at it twice, shook his head and said: "Only you are a lazy person, you don't like to use your brain, and the original headache is regarded as fun, but it is just self-deception." ”

Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother was puffing up, Cao Hao closed the fan and said, "Sixteenth master, over the years, in addition to Suihu, where do I have the opportunity to go out to see?" The mountains and rivers outside, not only do Seventeen Elder Brother like it, but I also like it. Let's think about the good, and besides, you can avoid that one, otherwise you will be entangled a few more times, even if you don't throw yourself under him, it will be difficult to ensure that the fourth elder brother has no suspicion in his heart. Speaking of the last sentence, the volume was lowered.

The sixteenth elder brother sighed, the holy decree has been given, and he said it in vain.

He took out a letter from his sleeve, threw it on Cao Hao's table, and said: "Yin Yuqi, the chief soldier of the Henan Green Battalion, is the master's disciple, and if he can't do it at that time, he will be asked to be a helper." ”

Cao Hao looked at the letter and smiled on his face.

The sixteenth elder brother came angrily, not to accuse him, but for the main purpose of this letter.

The sixteenth elder brother was laughed uncomfortably by Cao Hao, turned his face away, and muttered: "Since it is, let's toss it beautifully, and promote the official position, so as not to be confined in this small courtyard, and there is no place to speak......

*Cao Mansion, East Courtyard.

Jinghui packed her husband's luggage, because she was in a hurry, Cao Song had already ordered her to bring only the necessities. Rao is like this, and Jinghui has also packed several big bags here.

Cao Song went to the Northwest Camp in his early years, and he galloped there, changing horses and people along the way, and had the experience of going far away. Seeing these bags of luggage, he shook his head and said, "No, repack it, I can't bring it." ”

Jinghui shook her head and said, "Only the bag on the side is what the master wants to bring, there are a few sets of happy clothes, and a bag of silver." ”

"What are you doing when you don't bring those bags?" Cao Song listened, a little confused.

"Although the master and the uncle have to travel quickly all the way, there will be people driving the carriage to the Xifu side. The two packets on the right are the 100 gifts for Aunt Green and her nephew. There are also two packs, which are also the clothes of the master. Since the uncle has received the will of the Qincha, I am afraid that this trip will be delayed for a few months. The lord is following orders, and he can't return to Beijing soon, so he must be well prepared. Jinghui said.

When Cao Song heard this, he remembered that he had heard his wife mention that the two rooms were going to send a hundred gifts to his nephew in Henan Mansion.

While the husband and wife were talking, they heard hurried footsteps in the courtyard.

"Don't go!" Before the person entered the house, he heard Zhao Jia's voice.

When Cao Song heard his mother's voice, his face suddenly drooped, and a chill appeared in his eyes.

He had already ordered that several family members who knew the inside story should be silenced, and he didn't want his mother to worry about this. Who is this ambitious leopard who dares to chew his tongue indiscriminately.

As he spoke, Zhao Jiashi entered the house, saw the duffel bag on the kang, his eyes were about to burst into flames, he glared at Cao Song fiercely, and scolded Jing Hui: "When I die?" What kind of virtuous pretend, who allowed you to pack the luggage for the second master? ”

Jing Hui was indisputable, lowered his head and was silent, Cao Song saw that his mother was angry, and he didn't want his wife to be wronged, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, don't do Jing Hui's business, my son has also received an errand, and I want to escort Qin out of Beijing." ”

Zhao Jia's family was so angry that he was half dead when he saw his son protecting his daughter-in-law like this. She stroked her chest, pointed at Cao Song, and said fiercely: "Let your mother's bullshit, bastard, open your eyes and talk nonsense." Isn't it for the sake of that fourth child that he wants to go to Henan Mansion? ”

Hearing that his younger brother was missing and his life and death were uncertain, Cao Song was already worried; Now that there is no taboo to listen to his mother's words, he only feels that a breath of turbidity is held in his heart, and he is uncomfortable.

If his mother can have a little compassion for Cao Xiang, she will not force him to give up his good future and leave home at a young age. Thinking of this, Cao Song was full of remorse.

He knew that his mother treated Cao Xiang badly, and it was also because of a "filial piety" that he opened one eye and closed one eye, and did not dissuade him.

If you can be nicer to Cao Xiang, where will there be today's disaster?

*Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

The sun is setting, the afterglow is all over the sky, the cicadas have stopped chirping, and there is only the sound of the wind blowing the sycamores in the yard.

Under the corridor, Amethyst squatted down, looked at the villain in front of her, and said softly: "Girl, the uncle is going to travel far tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in three or two months." Girl, don't you want Daddy? ”

Tianhui's eyes were covered with tulle, she looked at Amethyst, and said in a low voice: "I think, Daddy also brought lotus seed soup back yesterday......" After speaking, she pursed her lips and refused to say more.

Amethyst touched her head and said, "The girls who love the most in the world are the uncle and grandmother." Girl, you see, the uncle and grandmother have three children, and only the girl has always been by the uncle and grandmother's side. Uncle and grandma are all about girls holding them in the palm of their hands. Even if it is to cure the disease, the uncle and grandmother are also for the good of the girl. ”

Although Tianhui is young, she also knows that her mother and father love her. She was also sad when she didn't talk to her parents, but every time she drank the medicine, she could think of the pain in her bones and feel angry.

"It hurts......" Tianhui lowered her head and said with a crying voice.

"The girl is the meat that fell from the grandmother's body, the girl hurts, and the grandmother and the uncle also hurt. The girl's pain has passed, and the girl is willing to let the uncle and grandmother continue to feel distressed......" Amethyst took Tianhui's little hand and said.

"Nope." Tianhui choked and shook her head.

Amethyst took out a handkerchief, wiped Tianhui's tears, and said softly: "Girl, uncle and grandmother are in the wife's room, let's go over, okay......"

After a while, Fang Jian Tianhui nodded.

Amethyst breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it was better not to hold grudges earlier, otherwise the longer you hold grudges, the deeper you remember, and it will not be easy to forget.

It is a blessing for a girl to have parents like uncle and grandmother......
