Caojia East Mansion, Inner Hall.

Zhao Jiashi watched Li and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrive, squeezed out a little smile, and invited their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to sit down.

"What is this called...... Zhao Jiashi looked at Li, sighed, and said, "I see that I am about to celebrate the festival, but I have encountered such a thing." But it's okay, Hua Gege wants to keep the filial piety of the year, and it's not good to make people urge him again. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Yu twice, and seemed to have scruples.

Seeing this, Chu Yu got up, excused himself to visit Jinghui, and withdrew from the upper room.

When I arrived at the East Cross Courtyard, I saw Jinghui touching her stomach and strolling around the courtyard. She has been pregnant for more than eight months, and her body is very fat, and she looks a little clumsy. Chun'er and Zilan stood aside and talked to her.

This method of walking around was told to her by Chu Yu. Seeing this, Chu Yu remembered the scene when he was pregnant with Tianyou and Tianhui, and his face showed expression.

Jing Hui had already seen Chu Yu and had already greeted her.

"Slow down." Chu Yu saw that she looked like a big-bellied grasshopper, and hurriedly spoke.

"Sister-in-law." Jing Hui smiled and took Chu Yu's hand, and the two of them went back to the house to talk. After Zilan saluted Chu Yu, she went back to her room, and Chun'er followed up to wait.

"Even if you want to wander, you have to pick a place, and just now I looked, there was moss in the courtyard next to the porch. This can not be left behind, carefully falling. Chu Yu opened his mouth and instructed.

Jinghui smiled and nodded, Chun'er had already brought tea.

Jinghui thought for a while and instructed Chun'er: "The jujube nectar sent from Zhuangzi yesterday is good, you take Miss Xicai to pick two cans, so that someone can bring them over to the grandmother in a while." ”

Chun'er responded, and went out with Xicai, leaving only Chu Yu and Jing Hui in the house.

Seeing this, Chu Yu already knew that Jinghui had something to say.

Jing Hui had already put away the smile on her face, took a long breath, and asked, "Did our wife ask someone to invite the eldest wife and sister-in-law over?" ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Well, my brother and sister have also heard about it, the matter of the General's Mansion." ”

"When someone came from the General's Mansion just now, I happened to be talking to my wife in the upper room. Hearing that Yun Gege was gone, his wife immediately changed her face and almost lost her temper. Jinghui replied.

Chu Yu listened and wondered in his heart.

Yun Gege almost became the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, and now she died early, which is quite surprising, but what is so terrible?

Jing Hui had already lowered her voice and said, "A few days ago, when the General's Mansion envoy came to ask about Yuzi, Mrs. wanted to take care of that side, so she mentioned Yun Gege two sentences outside the words. It's only been a few days since this happened. Although it may not have anything to do with his wife's words, I am afraid that my wife is not at ease. Fang Cai also said to himself, saying that he wanted to do something for Yun Gege. ”

"Huh?" Chu Yu really didn't expect these to be among them, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Jing Hui had already taken Chu Yu's hand, prayed a little, and said, "Sister-in-law, if our wife wants to do something out of the ordinary, I have to ask you and the eldest lady to help stop it." I can't interject because of my identity. The second master, on the other hand, is always an afterthought. For the sake of the fourth uncle's family affairs, he has quarreled with his wife a few times. In the end, it is the son of man, and the reputation of disobedience is unbelievable......"

* At the end of the room, Zhao Jiashi was already holding a handkerchief, wiped away his tears, and said: "Sister-in-law, I was just annoyed, and I said a few words, but I didn't think about cursing it." Who would have thought that this would be gone. ”

When Li heard this, he was already complaining about Zhaojia's troubles, but when he saw that she was bluffing, he could only comfort him and said, "Brother and sister, don't think nonsense. There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, which are all fate. ”

"Really? It's her fate, so it shouldn't have anything to do with me, right? Zhao Jiashi put down his arm, he had no backbone, and looked at Li with a blank look.

Because of Zhaojia's family, the trouble in the two mansions did not stop, and the Li family also saved a lot of complaints in his stomach.

She thought for a while and said, "Brother and sister, even if this is Yun Gege's life, it is inappropriate for my brother and sister to speak badly and hurt people." In the future, it's better to calm down and think about it. Not for yourself, but for your children and grandchildren. There is an old saying, 'the mother is strong and the son is weak', Song'er has grown up to be sincere, and now there is no frizziness in the past, and she is much more sensible. In the future, younger siblings will also rely on their sons. ”

Zhao Jiashi saw that Li seemed to be guilty, and his expression was sneering, and he hurriedly argued: "Sister-in-law doesn't know my temper yet, it's just a knife mouth and a tofu heart." I also thought about enjoying Qingfu for a long time, and I didn't ask about everything, isn't this a daughter-in-law's weight? ”

Li and Zhaojia have been concubines for nearly 30 years, and they don't know her surname, where they listen to people's persuasion. No matter what, she has to figure it out by herself before she can ...... the West Mansion of the Cao Family, the study.

Cao Hao looked at the ink on the bookcase, and couldn't help but get goosebumps. After thinking about it, he still reached out and picked up the fold, crumpled it into a ball, and spread out the new paper to rewrite.

Fang Cai has already drafted three copies, the first one is decent, but it is not loyal enough; the second is much more lyrical, but also deferential; The third part is lyrical and loyal, Cao Hao rewatched it himself, and he also felt that this sycophant was too loud.

After thinking about it, Cao Hao still took away all the nonsense on the side. Only write about the family feeling the grace of the saint, the distant saint driving the well-being, the clouds.

It's still not far or close, it's best.

Cao Haofang put down his pen, and heard the little guy say through the door: "Uncle, the two young masters have something to ask to see, and they are waiting under the porch." ”

Cao Hao looked up and looked at the ruler-high table clock on the desk, it was already Shen Chu (three o'clock in the afternoon), it seemed that the two little guys had finished class.

"Come in." Cao Hao put away the twists and turns, put them aside, and raised his voice.

After a while, I saw Tianyou and the Hengsheng brothers come in.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the two brothers had already changed into hard-faced single clothes, blue satin gowns, and blue vests.

"What's the matter?" Cao Hao asked.

Tianyou pursed his lips and didn't speak, just looked at Hengsheng; Heng Sheng's face flushed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father...... Father ......"

He has been slow to speak since he was a child, and when he is in a hurry, his tongue is a little unfavorable.

Cao Hao stood up, sat down by the kang, pointed to the chair on the ground, and ordered their brother to sit.

This interruption made Hengsheng's side breathe a sigh of relief.

Cao Hao looked at his youngest son and wondered what was his son's trouble. I want to ask him again, but I'm afraid he won't be able to say it in a hurry. Come and go, don't leave the child with stuttering sequelae.

Thinking like this, Cao Hao looked at Tianyou and said, "What is Hengsheng looking for me?" ”

"Father......" Tianyou also looked at Hengsheng's difficulties, and replied crisply: "Father, the second brother wants to ask his father for a name. ”

"Asking for a name?" Cao Hao didn't understand a little and asked, "What's the name?" A big name? How do you think of this. ”

"Today, the master taught us the first name. Because the son and Zuo Cheng and Zuo Zhu brothers both have big names, but the younger brother doesn't, so the younger brother is in a hurry, so he came over to see his father, thinking about begging his father to give him a big name. "God bless replied with a clear eye.

Ning Chun's surname is Zhang Jia's family, although he has the same surname as the biological mother of the thirteenth elder brother, but he is not a family. His family belongs to the Zhenglan Banner, and his great-grandfather entered the customs from the dragon, and he made meritorious contributions to the battle, and won the title of Shizhi and Cloud Cavalry Captain.

Ning Chun's grandfather died early, so his family was in the middle of the road and his reputation was not obvious. It wasn't until Ning Chun's father came out that the old scene gradually recovered.

The names of Zuo Cheng and Zuo Zhu were decided after Cao Hao and Yongqing discussed it two years ago. The left becomes "Yuansong", and the left lives as "Yuanbai".

If it is according to Cao Hao's original intention, he wants to use Ning Chun's word "Jingming" to name the two brothers. However, the ancients paid attention to avoidance, and among them, there was the name of "father and ancestor".

Therefore, Cao Hao gave up his original intention and gave up the two names of "Yuan Song" and "Yuan Bai" with Yongqing.

Although the name is up, it is only used when naturalization, and the people in the house usually call it a small name.

Regarding the name of Hang Seng, Cao Hao has thought about it several times.

Earlier, when Cao Yin did not give Tianyou a name, Cao Hao also thought about the names of his two sons, and the two words he chose were "shock" and "thunder".

He didn't know why he sent the gods to pick the name of Cao Zhan in history, instead of following the model character of Cao Yanshou and their brother.

As a result, Cao Yin gave Tianyou the word "Zhan".

Seeing Tianyou and Hengsheng sticking out their little heads and looking at each other, Cao Hao got up and walked behind the desk, spread out the paper, lifted the pen, and wrote down a big character with a pen. "Zhen" means the eldest son, and it is inappropriate to live forever; The name Thunder is too hard, for fear of making a mistake. So Cao Hao chose another word.

The two brothers came to see, but you looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn't know each other.

"Lin. My son's name is Cao Lin. Cao Hao picked up the paper and sent it to Hengsheng.

Hengsheng pursed his lips, and his small mouth was already grinning to the root of his ears. He took the piece of paper with both hands and looked at it with a grin.

Tianyou leaned over his little body, looked at the words in his brother's hand, stretched out his little finger and pulled it halfway, and said to Hengsheng: "This is the word 'rain', it seems that my brother's name is the same as mine, and it is related to rain." ”

Cao Hao's side has already opened his mouth to tell his sons the meaning of the word "Lin".

After saying the word "Lin", Cao Hao remembered his sons' homework, and asked Tianyou and Hengsheng to write a few big characters and memorize an article, feeling a sense of accomplishment as a father.

Thinking that the eldest son had the same name as the one who wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Hao felt a little uneasy, and looked at Tianyou several times.

Compared with Hengsheng, Tianyou looks much more beautiful. is a quiet surname again, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he looks very well-behaved.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao pondered, should he find Amethyst to ask his son's daily life, and don't give the surname of the second master of Chengbao. Otherwise, he, the father, would die of depression.

The father and son talked for a while, and Cao Hao felt a little hungry, so he took his sons back to the inner house and went to the Lanyuan.

Li and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had just returned from Dongfu, and they heard that the two younger ones had gone to the study to look for their father, and they were about to send someone to invite their father and son back for dinner.

Before I finished dinner, I heard the maid report that it was the second door to pass the word, and Prince Jian came and drank tea in the front hall.

Cao Hao's side, hurriedly put down his job, got up and went out, knowing that he had designated it to come for the purpose of redeeming gold.

Could it be that there is not enough gold?

If that's the case, I'm afraid he'll have to force him to think of something else.

Cao Hao was thinking nonsense in his mind, and when he came to the living room in the front yard, he saw Yaerjianga wearing regular clothes, holding a tea cup, and leisurely looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

"Please, Lord Wang." Cao Hao flicked his sleeves and leaned over to salute.

"This king came from Fangjia Hutong, and just happened to pass by here, so he walked over and sat an uninvited guest, don't blame it." Yarjianga put down the teacup and said with a smile.

On Cao Hao's side, he had to say some polite words such as "Peng Sheng Sheng", and then sat down and talked with him.

There is no shortage of gold, I heard that there is one or two more silver than the world, and there are really many mansions that have contributed to the capital and gathered a lot of gold.

What is lacking is people, who are not only familiar with the business situation in Guangzhou, but also can be trusted by Yaerjianga.

On the side of the capital, Yarjianga plans to send his subordinate servant Cui Fei to escort Jin Zi south. Today, I came to Cao Hao's side, just to ask Cao Hao for someone.

"Isn't there a subordinate in your family in Guangdong? Cao Hao cut his love and borrowed the king's envoy for two years. Yarjiang said straight to the point: "To tell the truth, the people outside, this king really can't believe it. A good deal, if you let the minions swallow the big head, and let the clan masters drink some leftover soup, isn't it a cold person? If it is Cao Hao's person, this king can be trusted. It was the one who led the Rakshasa daughter-in-law into Beijing a few days ago, and I heard that you had been calling for many years, so he must be a proper person. ”

For Yaerjiang's trust, Cao Hao only had the heart to understand, and he had no intention of participating.

In a few words, he told Wei Xin about marrying and emigrating overseas.

When Yarjianga heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "It's okay to marry a rakshasa, and you have to go to Fanbang, can't we still tolerate him in the Qing Dynasty?" To be a son-in-law to a foreigner, and to insert the door upside down, it is really embarrassing for the Qing masters. ”

Cao Hao listened to him and didn't explain too much.

Yarjianga touched his head and said, "Since this is not good, what about the candidates over there in Guangzhou?" I can't let Cui Fei, this kid, pass with a black eye, and he is blind. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "You must always find a proper person, otherwise I am afraid that Brother Jiu will intervene." A few days ago, he also told the king that he wanted to send his servants to the king to listen to the errand. ”

Yaerjiang Ah has a good relationship with the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, but now it sounds like an estrangement.

Could it be that he is worried that Brother Jiu is greedy and knows this way to make money, so that the identity of the prince can also rob this gold exchange business?

Cao Hao was puzzled, and heard Yaerjianga say in a low voice: "The one who 'recuperates' is not good, this king is also a layman, whether it is icing on the cake or falling into the well, he is not in the mood." So, let's stay away and settle down in peace......"

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and made an "eight" gesture.

Although Cao Hao had long known that the eighth elder brother had no relationship with the storage position, there were still many clan officials in the capital who were waiting and watching, and now Yaerjianga was so determined?

"Lord Wang...... Isn't there still a person out there who says the most virtuous? Cao Hao asked the question in his heart.

Yarjianga picked the corners of his mouth and said, "Time has passed, and from today onwards, no one will talk about this without interest......
