Fangjia Hutong, Dong E's mansion.

After dinner, Jinghui helped her grandmother walk in the yard. In the end, it is age, and there have been a lot of problems in the past six months, and I feel that Luo is not as tough as before.

After walking around twice, Jue Luo stopped and raised his head to look at the pomegranate tree in the corner of the courtyard. The red pomegranate is already ripe and grinning, and it looks very festive.

Pomegranate means many children, but he only has a granddaughter by his side, and Jue Luo's expression is a little unspeakably sour.

Seeing that her grandmother didn't speak, Jinghui said, "Grandmother, in a few days it will be the Medicine Buddha Christmas, and your granddaughter will accompany you to the incense?" ”

Jue Luo patted Jinghui's hand and said, "The grandson-in-law is the eldest son of the second room, and he is not young, listening to that meaning, he wants to marry within the year." In October, I am afraid that you will have to pass the bride price, and you should also prepare some needlework. ”

Jing Hui kept the needle and thread in her hands in her early years, but the work was all on the side of Dong E's Mansion, and there was a change, so naturally she couldn't take care of it for a long time, and now she doesn't know where it went.

is busy taking care of her grandmother here, she doesn't do much needlework, she was originally sent to Shen Dexun's shop to sell, and later she was bought back by Cao Song.

Hearing her grandmother talk about the wedding date, Jinghui blushed and lowered her head and couldn't speak.

Jue Luo looked at his granddaughter, couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said: "Now there is such an old yard left next to my grandmother, but I still have to be a place for the elderly." Otherwise, it would be good to fill your dowry with a few tiles. ”

Jinghui listened, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Grandmother, he ...... He is a good person, and he does not dislike his granddaughter Gu Han......"

Jue Luo sighed and said, "Having said that, the Cao family is also a big family, and the grandson-in-law has several brothers. You must know that our flag family is noble to be a girl at home, but it is difficult to be a daughter-in-law. If the dowry is rich and the food and clothing are not touched by the mother-in-law's family, you can speak harder; Otherwise, if the concubines are separated from each other, they will have to suffer some idleness. In the end, you have to live a life, endure everything, and be deferential to your mother-in-law. When you have a child, you can get through it. ”

Jinghui listened to her grandmother's teachings, but she felt uncomfortable. After all, if you want to leave your grandmother here, the old man is already eighty years old, and there are no relatives around, how can people rest assured.

Thinking of this, Jinghui asked, "Grandmother, what if you ...... If the wife over there is a good talker, how about the granddaughter take her grandmother over to serve? ”

When Jue Luo heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "How can you say something childlike?" Even if my grandmother is old, after all, she is from Dong E's family, why do you want to go to the Cao family to support the elderly? Besides, you are a new daughter-in-law, you have to make rules when you enter the door, and you have to honor your mother-in-law, where is the reason to serve your mother-in-law? In the future, if you are not with your grandmother, you should take good care of yourself. Hello, grandmother will no longer ask for anything......"

Unlike the sorrowful parting of Dong E's ancestors and grandchildren, Cao's side is really jubilant.

Because he was afraid of moving, Jiangning was short of manpower, which made his parents tired, and Cao Hao had already asked Cao Fang to take the two stewards back to Jiangning to cook.

Although the population of Jiangning is not as good as that of the capital, there are 70 or 80 people. If you go to the capital, the house is not spacious. Therefore, Zhao Jiashi told Cao Hao that she would clean up a few yards in the east courtyard first, so that she could move over with the children.

The left and right sides used to be inhabited, and you can simply paint the walls and put the furniture on it.

When Cao Hao heard this, it was also right, saving Jiangning's parents from coming, going in and out together, which was weird.

Chu Yu knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were going to take their son to Beijing, and she was overjoyed, with a smile on her face all the time. Xiyun and Xicai have asked privately.

Xiyun looked at the last one in his heart, it was Zhang Yi, the long-term follower of Cao Hao. Zhang Yi is a child of a family, in his twenties, he has always had a high vision, and he has not yet married. Speaking of age and appearance, the two are also comparable.

Xicai didn't think about this, and she didn't think about getting married, and wanted to wait for Chu Yu for a few more years.

Chu Yu whispered to Cao Hao, and Cao Hao was happy to be a moon old man with Chu Yu.

It's just that this red line is not hard to pull, so Cao Hao asked Zhang Yi his own opinion. Zhang Yi, this kid, heard this, but he couldn't help but grin vigorously.

He has always been thick-skinned, and he also knows that his uncle treats his subordinates generously, and said with a smile: "Uncle, the little one also feels that Xiyun is good in his heart." It's just that she is the eldest grandmother's person, and the little one only occasionally sees twice, and she doesn't know her intentions, so she doesn't dare to speak rashly. I wanted to wait for this year's return with Hu, but I begged the uncle to help me ask, and caught up with the girl...... "Speaking of this, I knew that I was speechless, and I stopped talking.

He was unintentional, where would Cao Hao care about him?

The maid beside Chu Yu, Xiyun is the most useful one. Ping Suli is honest and steady, puts Chu Yu's interests first everywhere, and is a very reliable girl, Cao Hao has a good impression of her.

Now Xiyun and Zhang Yi are two, one is intentional and the other is affectionate, and Cao Hao is willing to fulfill it. Therefore, he said to Zhang Yi: "Prepare your wife, prepare to be hired, and when you are busy for a while, I will give you Zhang Luo's family affairs." ”

Zhang Yi's wish was fulfilled, he was overjoyed, his body was already short, and he wanted to give Cao Hao a big gift.

Cao Hao was impatient with this, stretched out his hand to stop it, and said, "Okay, what are you doing here?" In the future, I will give birth to a child. ”

Zhang Yi still knelt down, kowtowed a few times in a serious manner before getting up, and said: "Etiquette can't be wasted, although the uncle is broad, the little ones can't put their noses on their faces!" As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "In the future, there will be daughters-in-law who will hurt, and the little ones will not be singles!" ”

It means as if I've never seen a woman.

Cao Hao laughed when he heard it, and said: "How do I remember that a few stewards in the front yard gave you a blind date two years ago, and you didn't look at it, didn't you say that there was one outside?" Now it seems like I've never seen a woman? ”

Zhao Tongyuan was listening, listened to Cao Hao's words, and also said: "Don't pretend to be serious in front of the uncle, who else can you hide from your little catty?" ”

"Oh, my uncle, don't be a grandmother. Uncle Wei knew the details of this matter, but he just did a good thing. A little widow, with a child, sells tofu brains at the mouth of the alley and is bullied by two ruffians. The little one couldn't get used to it, so he taught the two ruffians a lesson. Although the little one said that he spoke frivolously, he didn't think of knocking on the widow's door. Zhang Yi listened to the jokes of the two, waved his hand hurriedly, and argued.

Cao Hao glanced at Zhao Tong, saw him nodding, knew it was true, and said: "It's a good thing to be happy with others, but since the other party has such an identity, you should also avoid some suspicions." It's nothing for you to be a gentleman, don't burden others with stigma! ”

Zhang Yisu listened to it, Cao Fang had already gone to Jiangning, and Wu Mao was staring at the garden outside the city, and the big housekeeper in the house was a little busy. Cao Hao explained a few words to Zhang Yi and Zhao Tong, telling them to keep an eye on them...... After explaining this, Cao Hao just wanted to turn back to the inner house, when he heard a report from the porter that Yi Duli was coming.

The two are relatives and colleagues, and Yi Duli is not as particular as that, and before Cao Hao came out, he had already walked in quickly.

Seeing Yi Duli wearing an official uniform, sweating all over his head, with a little urgency, Cao Hao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "But what happened in the yamen?" ”

Today is Cao Hao's Xiu Mu Zhi, and he did not go to the yamen.

Yi Duli took a breath, waved his hand, and said, "It's not the Yamen's business, it's my family's private affairs." Speaking of this, he pulled Cao Hao's arm and said, "Fu Ruo, this time, you have to help me!" ”

The two have been officials for two years, and it is the first time that Cao Hao has seen Yi Duli look like this.

Since it was his private matter, it was not good to be a subordinate in the house, and when he started in the courtyard, Cao Hao let him come to the living room.

The guest and the host sat down, but Yi Duli couldn't sit still, and said in a hurry: "It's really no way, so I came to bother Fu Ruo, so I must help out." ”

Cao Hao saw that he was so anxious, but he wanted to come urgently, so he didn't go around the bush with him, and said: "Please tell me what the adults want, if I can accept it, then I have nothing to say." ”

Yi Duli sighed and said: "Yang family's affairs, if Fu Ruo knows, didn't she have a body a few days ago, I was afraid that there would not be enough people waiting outside, so I picked two rooms from the house to wait." I don't know how it reached my mother's ears, I know that I have this outer room, and I am pregnant with my flesh and blood, and I will be forced to settle into the house. The Yang family was very happy, and when they talked about it, they only knew how to cry, saying that they didn't want to be embarrassed and bullied with their daughter, but they didn't dare to go to the house. I couldn't bear to force her, so I lied and dragged her ...... on Eniang's side."

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Who doesn't know how E-Niang remembered it again today, she has already made her mother-in-law go to the house to pick up the Yang family, and no matter what, she will carry people into the house today." He also sent a message to me, that if I do not enter the house today, and give birth to a child outside in the future, I am not allowed to bring it to my house, whether it is a man or a woman. ”

Cao Hao listened to him in detail, and his face couldn't help but stiffen. After all, it's not a glorious matter, it doesn't have to be so detailed, after all, it's Yiduli's own family matter, wouldn't it be cheaper to say what he asked for directly.

I heard Yi Duli continue: "Although the Yang family is not the daughter of a big family, she has never suffered hardship. Although I unfortunately lost my husband and had surplus money in my hands, it was because of my integrity that I became my woman without seeking fame. Although Zhao Jia's family is not a powerful person, the Yang family is afraid that she will occupy the word '嫡' to oppress people, and she will not enter the house if she says anything. I really can't do it, she is right, after all, she is alone and has no family to rely on. Although they are distant relatives of the Li family, they can't quench their thirst from afar. Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed.

This thunderbolt said a lot, and Cao Hao also heard it, but he didn't know what it had to do with himself.

Yi Duli sighed a few words, raised his head, and said to Cao Hao: "Fu Ruo, you are the nephew of the Li family, and the family is from the south, I heard that the old man and the old lady will also enter Beijing. For my sake, do you recognize the Yang family as a godfather? ”

The front was still shouting, but Cao Hao in the back couldn't listen to it.

What is the character of the Yang family, and what is the relationship between the two of them with Yi Duli, these have nothing to do with Cao Hao. After all, it's a matter of people's own, if you can't look past it, you just don't look at it.

I want to hang the title of a godfather, but I can't.

Cao Hao is not his own person, this cadre recognizes it, and even with Pingjun Wang Fujin, Cao Ying, and Cao Yi, they can climb it.

Whether it's a sister or a sister, there really is such a poke there, if there is anything wrong with the behavior, then the reputation of other people will not be able to protect and be affected.

Although Yi Duli looked at it with a smile, Cao Hao didn't mean to hesitate at all.

However, the Yang family is the person on the tip of Yiduli's heart, and if Cao Hao refuses directly, he will offend him. Therefore, Cao Hao showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said: "My lord, it's not that I don't help, but this ...... It is impossible to accept it. ”

Yidu was a little unhappy on his face, but he also knew that Cao Hao was indeed a real person, and he would not say this prevarication plainly, but he still asked unwillingly: "Why can't you accept it, but you look down on the Yang family?" It's just a false name, and I don't want you to treat her like a brother! I want to calm her heart and raise her to make a second room. Hang up your house, and finally make her speak harder. Even if my insiders really don't look down on her, for the sake of relatives, it's not easy to get along with her. ”

It's okay not to listen to Yi Duli say this, but after listening to this, Cao Hao remembered that there was still Aunt Cao Songtang in it. In this way, he will be more and more unable to accept, if he is not in front of the Zhaojia clan and the Thirteen Fujin, he will not be complained.

After all, he was an official with the same government, and Cao Hao didn't want to be a woman, so he set up a suspicion with Yidu, thought about it, and said: "The Yang family is not alone, and there is also a family in Beijing, and I am also a little concerned about this girl." Since you have a brother, what else do you need to do? ”

When Yi Du Li heard about this, he was very surprised, and said in surprise: "The Yang family still has an elder brother in Beijing, why didn't you hear her mention it?" Speaking of this, he remembered an old incident and said, "By the way, how can I remember in a trance that she said that she had a sister...... I forgot not to mention it, but it was around this time last year, and we were drinking at the front door ......"-
