Chapter 458: Movement

When he came out of Cao's Mansion, there was nothing on Yidu's face, but there was something wrong in his heart. Although Yang Mingchang, the father of the Yang family, abandoned his wife and son, he did not do his Yiduli business. However, thinking that Yang's brother was a disciple of the Cao Mansion, he was a little awkward and felt that he couldn't wipe his face.

I can't complain that every time I mentioned the Yang family with Cao Hao, Cao Hao either kept silent or changed the subject.

I became a person who was a baby of my heart, and I was the sister of the Cao family, but I was in Cao Hao's identity, but it was not good to comment.

Yi Duli thought that Fang Cai himself had begged Cao Hao to recognize the Yang family, and he felt that his face was a little hot and a little panicked.

However, the Yang family is a distant relative of the Li family, but the Cao family took in the abandoned children of the Yang family, and the relationship between the Cao and Li families is not as close as the outside world says. …… When he rode away from Caofu, Yi Duli's heart thought of this place for some reason.

Manchu people are the most polite and love face, Yi Duli feels that he has lost face, and his partiality for the Yang family has faded a little. In addition, it is difficult to disobey his own life, even if his mother speaks, then he can delay for a moment as a son, but he cannot refuse.

Yang Ruixue is used to the leisurely talk outside, where is she willing to go to the house to be a concubine?

Yi Duli left in a hurry, she thought it was him who went home to intercede, but she didn't expect to come back, but it was like a different person. She still wanted to cry, but seeing Yi Duli's helplessness, she didn't dare to give him a face in public.

In desperation, Yang Ruixue could only take her daughter's hand, get into the carriage of Yiduli's family, and go back to the mansion over there...... Not to mention how Yi Duli and Yang Ruixue have their own thoughts, it is Cao Hao's side, although he said that Yi Duli was squeezed away, but he was not at ease at all.

Li Xu has always been generous and well-known in Jiangnan, but who is a living bodhisattva in this world?

Yang Ruixue is Li Ding's forbidden belly, and the son who lives in Li's house is a little unclean from beginning to end. It stands to reason that for such a woman, even if she disdains to dispose of it, she should be expelled.

If she knew something she shouldn't know, she would have lost her surname a long time ago.

is just a businesswoman, and she is a stranger, she has nothing to rely on in the capital, how do you want to handle it, it all depends on Li Xu's mood, why she left her surname and let her hang the name of a distant relative of the Li family? It's not Cao Hao's villain, but I still feel that there is something that can't be said to people.

It's just that for a moment, people can't figure out what it is.

Could it be that Li Xuse was obsessed, and after using this woman, it was difficult to start, so he let her live in Beijing; Or does Li Xu have other intentions and want to keep a beautiful room here?

Li Ding is gone, and Cao Hao very much hopes that Li Xu will enjoy his old age honestly and not make those messy moths again. Otherwise, when the incident happens, the Cao family will be implicated, wouldn't it be wronged.

Fortunately, now that my father's order has been issued, the situation of the three major weaving eminent Jiangnan of Cao, Li and Sun will be broken. Even if the Li family makes a reckless move, the Cao family has returned to the capital, as long as they act cautiously, they will not be as obsessive as in the past.

* Jiangning, weaving house, front yard, study.

The excerpt sent back by Kangxi's instructions did not take a moment to reach Jiangning, and the official document of the promotion of the officials also arrived in the Weaving Mansion. Cao Yin was really overjoyed, he thought it would take a lot of twists and turns, but he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better.

In the joy of his colleagues, he also felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.

He was born in Jiangnan, was sent to his mother in the capital at the age of six to be raised, and then entered the palace as a companion, and at the age of sixteen he was a guard. After his father died, he came to Jiangnan to take over the manufacturing, and it has been nearly 30 years.

Life can have a few thirty years, and compared with the capital, the weaving house here is more like his home.

To make friends, to scratch people's ink, in the south of the Yangtze River, such as unforgettable.

In the future, I am afraid that I will never have such a comfortable mood again, and I will end up in the capital.

Thinking of this, Cao Yin put down the official document in his hand and shook his head with a wry smile. Heaven and earth are incomplete, where is there anything perfect in this world?

I want to reunite with my children and grandchildren, but I also want to be at ease and do whatever I want, where is there such a good thing?

Thinking about this, Cao Yin's sentimentality that had just risen faded.

As for the personal approval of the royal pen and let him recommend the weaving candidate, he did not take it to heart. Among the few people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are quite highly regarded by the Long Live Lord, they will inevitably be listed on the list. As for who is handpicked by the Long Live Lord, it is the promotion of the Long Live Lord, and it has nothing to do with him Cao Yin.

He didn't have the heart to seize power, and he was afraid that with this suspicion, Kangxi would be disgusted.

If you want to leave Jiangnan, it is good to cut it cleanly, otherwise you will recommend the old cronies, and if you have anything to do here in the future, it will not be clean.

The excerpts recommended for Jiangning weaving candidates were sent up, and when they arrived in front of the palace, they were sent back, and it took more than a month of effort. In this period, you can visit old friends, and you won't have to say that the day after tomorrow is far away, and you can't see each other.

This is all an afterthought, and the most important thing is to tell Madame the news. These words, Li is looking forward to returning to Beijing, but also afraid that the excerpt will be rejected, and the whole sentence is also a little trance.

In the upper room of Kaiyang Courtyard, the Li family sat on the side of the kang and told his grandson Tianyou about the ancients, which was nothing more than the old things about the ancestors of the Cao family who entered the customs from the dragon.

This was all written down by listening to the old lady in the early years, and Li said it, but he felt a little guilty in his heart. In her early years, she still lived in a mansion, and her son was taken by the old lady and was not by her side.

Even if she could see it, she still had to read it in her heart a few times every night, but she felt that she couldn't remember.

Now that she has her grandson with her, her daughter-in-law doesn't think even more.

Tianyou listened to a few words of marching on horseback, but he couldn't sit still, turned over and got off the kang, stared at his calves and went to the cabinet. Next to the cabinet, there is a bamboo horse.

The so-called "bamboo horse" is nothing more than a half-cut bamboo pole with a half-cut wooden horse's head attached to it.

This is a gadget that Cao Yin personally figured out in order to coax his grandson.

Tianyou rode the bamboo horse under his crotch, circled around the house, and said as he turned: "Drive, drive, ride a big horse......"

Li Shi was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly stood up and coaxed: "Slow down, knock carefully......"

Tianyou "giggled" and said, tilting his neck and saying: "Grandmother, in the future, my grandson will be a general and go to war." After speaking, he rode a bamboo horse and ran all over the ground.

Seeing his milky movements, Li said with a smile: "You are playing with that, your grandfather and your father have never thought about this, you are a grandson, but there are some ancestral relics......"

Just as Cao Yin came in with a curtain, listened to the last sentence, and asked, "What ancestral legacy?" ”

Tianyou just ran to this side, and suddenly hit Cao Yin's leg, and his little body leaned back, and there was a butt piercing. Xu fell in pain, his little face was sore, and his small mouth was split, as if he was about to cry.

Li and Cao Yin were distressed when they saw their eldest grandson fall. Li hurriedly picked it up, rubbed his grandson's little buttocks, and said: "Oops, oops, it hurts my grandmother's eldest grandson, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt......"

Cao Yin also stepped forward and looked carefully to see if he had knocked somewhere.

When Tianyou saw his grandfather approaching, he stretched out two small arms and hugged Cao Yin's neck, but he burst into tears and laughed.

Cao Yin saw that his grandson was close to him, and his heart was so rare that he couldn't do it, so he reached out and took it from Li's arms. He touched the door of Tianyou's brain and asked, "What have you been playing in the morning?" Tell your grandfather, do you miss your grandfather? ”

Tianyou grabbed Cao Yin's beard with his little hand and replied, "I thought about it...... Thinking of my grandfather playing with his grandchildren...... Play Malaysia ......"

Cao Yin hugged his grandson, slapped him twice in his hand, and put him on his neck.

Tianyou felt funny and scared, giggling in his mouth, but his little arms were hugging forward more and more. The little hand covered Cao Yin's eyes, Cao Yin also smiled, grabbed Tianyou's little hand, turned to Li and said: "The line of the Ministry of Officials has come down, and I have been promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, just waiting for the handover of this errand, and I can go to Beijing." Hopefully, it will be possible by the end of the year at the latest! ”

When Li heard this, he was overjoyed, his hands were folded, his eyes were red, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing his wife like this, Cao Yin remembered something and said, "You grew up in the south since you were a child, don't you think the capital is dusty?" If it's winter, it's much colder than Jiangnan, and I don't know if you can stand it. ”

Li turned sideways, wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Look at what the master said, how could I have been so expensive?" What is the cold spot, just use two more pots of charcoal. As long as I can be with my son and daughter-in-law, let alone colder, even if I am allowed to eat bran vegetables, I am happy. ”

Li's words reminded Cao Yin of the words Cao Hao said on the boat on the way to Beijing to congratulate his birthday last year.

In his heart, he couldn't help but be vigilant.

Now the Cao family can get out of the south of the Yangtze River and live in peace, which is a great blessing.

The so-called wealth and power, he has gone through half of his life, and he has become more and more indifferent.

The son is not a swaggering surname, and he will not take the initiative to provoke right and wrong. But the father and son will be officials in the capital in the future, and they are both court officials, so they need to be more cautious to avoid provoking right and wrong.

* Suzhou, weaving house.

Li Xu looked at the newly arrived newspaper and saw that there was an article on it, "Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites", and he was only dazzled.

He rubbed his eyes, re-read the line, and muttered: "Promotion, promotion!" ”

Speaking of which, with Cao Yin's qualifications, it is more than enough to be promoted to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. It was Li Xu, after the Wanshou Festival last year, and he also rewarded the false title of a household waiter.

Unexpectedly, the Cao family was going to leave Jiangning.

Since the second year of Kangxi, Cao Yin's father Cao Xi went to Jiangnan to build a weaving mansion, the Cao family has been in Jiangnan for more than 50 years. Who would have thought that without the slightest movement, the Cao family would leave Jiangnan.

Li Xu put down the newspaper in his hand, but his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was a little frightened in his heart.

Is Long Live Lord going to unload the mill and kill the donkey, or is the Cao family plotting to get out of Jiangnan officialdom? No matter which one it was, Li Xu felt uneasy in his heart.

The Cao and Li families, whether in Jiangnan or in the capital, are mostly mentioned together.

The Cao family withdrew from Jiangnan, so what about the Li family?

Beijing, Caofu, Wutong Garden.

After Cao Hao came back, he wanted to tell Chu Yu Xiyun's family affairs, so that she could feel at ease earlier. However, seeing Xiyun in the house, he was afraid that she would be ashamed, so he didn't say this first, and asked Chu Yu: "How is the preparation on the second aunt's side, aren't the second and third sisters planning to celebrate the ceremony in October?" ”

Chu Yu replied: "Today, the second aunt also said that because the wedding date is scheduled during the ceremony, she wants to wait for the old lady to come." The second aunt asked the forehead to go south and ask again to see if the old lady could go to Beijing in the moon. If he could, the wedding date would be set for the year after the young age. If you can't make it, you will have to wait a few more months until the old lady comes. ”

Cao Hao nodded and said: "That's good, there hasn't been much excitement in the family over the years, if my father and mother have a happy event after entering Beijing, it can also make the second elder happy." ”

While speaking, Xiyun had already taken the little maid out of the house.

Cao Hao looked at Xiyun's back, turned his head, and said to Chu Yu: "I just asked Zhang Yi, and he seems to have seen the right eye, and he is very happy." After this period of time, I should remember to take the time to handle the family affairs of the two of them. ”

When Chu Yu heard this, his face showed a little joy, and he said, "Such a great goodness!" For as long as I can remember, Xiyun has been by my side, and if I marry outside, I am really reluctant. ”

Cao Hao said: "In the future, when my father and mother arrive, the population of the house will become more and more, and you will need to worry more about it then." Mother is a good-natured person, so don't be too lenient on your side, so you don't have to live uneasy. ”

Chu Yu responded and asked about the birthday gift of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion. The thirteenth elder brother was born in October, and it is only a few days away.

Cao Hao's opinion here is naturally serious, and he chooses some congratulatory gifts that are both real and not ostentatious. Chu Yu responded, and it was not good to send the same one every year, so he thought about how to change a proper gift list.

Cao Hao said in his heart, this is going to be October, calculate the number, the holy driver should return to Beijing from Rehe......*
