The next time, Cao Hao came out of the yamen of Taifu Temple and accompanied Li Nai to Lu Bohe's mansion in the north street of Chaoyang Gate.

The wedding date was originally scheduled for October 28, if there was no disappearance of Li Ding, it would be the time for the woman to give makeup.

When encountering such an unfortunate thing, it is annoying to anyone, but there is really no way, Li Ding's disappearance has been reported to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion and the Yamen of the Infantry Army. Judging from the current posture, Li Ding is afraid that he has been plotted.

The Li family is already anxious, and they don't want to be forced too much. In Lu Bohe's heart, he even really hoped that Li Ding would die like this, and his granddaughter would be able to talk about others in the future. It's better than "running away from marriage" and "quitting relatives" or something.

Thinking that if that is the case, I am afraid that there will be a long tongue and say that their granddaughter is dead. The old man pondered, but he didn't know whether he should hope for Li Dingsheng or Li Ding's death.

Although the granddaughter did not marry into the door of the Li family, but the big and small decisions have passed, if Li Dingzhen comes to the news of death, but the granddaughter will have to keep filial piety for three years for the sake of morality.

Lu Bohe gritted his teeth and finally said the words of resignation. So far, they can't be blamed for the treachery of the Fucha family. After all, his granddaughter hasn't eaten his Li family's tea, so why should she keep filial piety for his family?

When Li Nai heard this, he was very sad, and couldn't help but plead softly and pleaded a few words. The Tao is to let the Fucha family give a period of prosperity, and if it is a little later, the whereabouts of the younger brother have not been found, so they will withdraw from the family according to what Lu Bohe said.

Lu Bohe is a military attaché and speaks more straightforwardly, although he does not mean to curse Li Ding, but after all, he cherishes his granddaughter more, so he said the concerns in his heart.

Li Nai didn't dare to be self-conscious, and said: "In a few days, my father will go north, ...... boss."

Lu Bohe said ruthlessly: "When Lingzun arrives in the capital, the old man will personally apologize to him." Eldest son, my granddaughter is a blessed person, but she can't climb your mansion! ”

At this point, what else can Li Nai say? But he also knew the reason for Lu Bohe's concerns, and now etiquette and religion are important, especially for women.

If her younger brother really has an accident, although Miss Fucha did not marry into the Li family, she must also keep filial piety; Even if she says anything, it is different from the treatment of ordinary girls. If she withdraws from her family, she will not delay her flowery years, and in the future, people will be relieved of some of the burden of tongue.

Cao Hao was beside him, and he never said much, after all, it was a marriage between two surnames, and it was really hard for him, a person with a foreign surname, to say anything. In his heart, he still quite agreed with Lu Bohe's proposal to retire.

The young lady who is close to Li Ding is an innocent person, and it is a great good thing to avoid the harm to the minimum.

After leaving the gate of Fucha's house, Li Nai sighed, looking very depressed.

Although he knew that it was all useless, Cao Hao still accompanied him to run the Yamen of the Infantry Army, the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office, and the Yamen of the Shuntian Mansion. Until the end of the day, the two were still at a loss.

Cao Hao originally wanted to arrange to invite Li Nai to have a drink, which was regarded as a pick-up for him. But Li Nai was really not in that mood, and he was tired after tossing for a while, so he politely refused Cao Hao's kindness.

The two of them said goodbye outside the Shuntian Mansion and went to their respective homes.

When he returned to the house, Cao Hao said a few words to Mr. Zhuang, and then went back to Wutong Garden.

After entering the house, Cao Hao saw Chu Yu sitting on the edge of the kang, pushing the cart, looking a little strange. Seeing Cao Hao coming back, Chu Yu hurriedly got up and waited for him to change his clothes.

Because Cao Yi was pregnant, she sent a letter to Cao Fu, and now Chu Yu went to Jueluo Mansion to visit her sister-in-law. Cao Hao wanted to accompany Li Nai recently, so he couldn't be empty, and he said that he would go and see it later.

Cao Hao ran a lot of places in the afternoon, and he felt that his body was stiff. When he had changed his clothes, he stretched out his arms and stretched hard.

Chu Yu saw that he was tired, so he said: "Sit on the side of the forehead, Chu Yu will help you pinch your chin!" ”

Cao Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "What is the use of your little strength?" It's useless to eat now, so call someone to bring it up! ”

Because Cao Hao came back to eat yesterday, Chu Yu had already instructed the kitchen to prepare the food and warm it.

After a while, Xicai brought someone to bring a food box over, and Xiyun took the little maid to set up the kang table and spread the food.

Cao Hao sat cross-legged at the table, saw two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "You didn't eat at night?" ”

Chu Yu smiled: "I was not hungry at that time, so I ate two bites of egg custard, but now I am a little hungry!" ”

Because he was in the house, Chu Yu didn't move much, and his appetite was not good, and each meal was only half a small bowl.

Four side dishes, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, one of the two meat dishes is pot chicken, and the other is braised catfish; Two vegetarian ones, one is toon beans, and the other is mixed with kelp shreds.

Cao Hao gave Chu Yu a mouthful of food and said, "No matter whether your appetite is good or not, you have to eat a few bites when you get to the point." Later, when the meal was ordered, I tried to come back. If I have something to do outside and can't come back, and you can't eat sweetly alone, just ask Tian or Amethyst to come over. ”

Chu Yu smiled and nodded, seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks to the meat dishes much, he was also a little uneasy, and said with a little concern: "It's so hard to be on an errand, and you're busy with this and that all day, how can you survive being a vegetarian?" ”

Cao Hao ate a bowl of red bean rice with kelp silk and toon beans, and made another bowl of it served.

Seeing that Chu Yu was not worried about this, Cao Hao smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm just impatient to eat these in front of my eyes." Speaking of which, this is about to enter the winter moon, and I am still thinking about the roe deer meat in the northeast! Speaking of this, he swept the catfish, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Nothing else is fine, in the future, my routine dish, this fish will be exempted first!" ”

He didn't eat meat, and now he doesn't even eat fish. Although Chu Yu responded, he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Although she had heard that Elu had lived in the temple for three years, she didn't pay attention to it at first. Because he looked at it, he didn't want to revere the appearance of gods and Buddhas. It's just that I've been to the temple a few times, but it's just to accompany her with Amethyst.

Cao Hao was eating sweetly, and when he looked up and saw Chu Yu looking at him, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a while, you miss me?" ”

Chu Yu glanced at Xiyun and Xicai, who were standing on the ground, and said to Cao Hao: "Forehead ......"

Cao Hao knew that her face was tender, and she was in front of Xiyun and them, so she stopped laughing at her.

After persuading Chu Yu to eat a few more bites, Cao Hao finished eating himself and put down his chopsticks.

Xiyun and Xicai came up with tea, Cao Hao and Chu Yu rinsed their mouths, sat sideways, and asked them to withdraw from the table.

Thinking of his wife Bai Yue going to Jueluo Mansion, Cao Hao asked, "How does Ping'er look, is her complexion okay?" ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "The third sister is fine, and the in-laws have chosen a grandmother who can take care of the pregnant woman to take care of it carefully." Because of the tightness in the past few months, the in-laws' wife has something to do, even the cup is not served by her sister! ”

There is only one son in the Jueluo family, and Seshtu is also in his twenties, and Cao Hao can understand the old lady's anxiety about hugging her grandson.

Cao Hao listened, and said to Chu Yu with a smile: "After two days, I will take a break and lead the second brother and them to see her again!" Speaking of this, he thought about it for a while, and said, "You have nothing to do in the house, it's better to accompany the third sister more if it's okay." If you want to go to the palace, you can go back there. Even though it's winter, it's not good to be stuffy in the house all day, and it's getting harder to eat now! ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he was a little strange, and said: "Forehead, in other people's houses, they are all afraid that women will love to visit the door, why did they pick up Chu Yu to go for a walk?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid that you'll get sick, our house has few housework, and you don't have a livelihood all day!" Cao Hao said with a little distress: "It's really not good, you invited the second aunt and Aunt Qiu to come over and play dominoes, so you don't have to be bored in the house alone!" ”

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "I know that I really feel sorry for me, but it has an upward and downward effect." Originally, the night was long in winter, and there were people who were worried about gambling, but our house had strict rules and was not allowed to start in the house. If you play it above, the next person won't be able to control it! ”

Cao Hao heard her mention housework, remembered the gossip she heard last time about what "private children", frowned and said to Chu Yu: "There are some gossips in the house, I don't know if you have heard of it, in addition to Tianyou, even the Tian family also piggybacked." After all, they are people in the house, maybe they just have no intention of speculating, but if they spread it outside, it will make people feel like they have noses and eyes. is not good for the reputation of the Tian family and the child, you still have to find a way to take care of it! ”

Hearing Cao Hao mention this, Chu Yu was a little surprised. Although she also knew some of these gossips, she didn't expect it to reach Cao Hao's ears, and said, "But what did the second brother tell you?" Yesterday, Xiyun also heard it and told me to Sister Amethyst. Because one of the two wives hit the people brought by the south, it is really not good to punish them severely. After discussing with Sister Amethyst, I made a charter today. If there is a person who pays attention to the gossip of the master in private, if he commits it for the first time, he will be fined for three months; the second time, the penalty is one year and one month; The third time, the errand was reformed, and the monthly routine was completely stopped. Not to mention the third time, the monthly silver that was fined for the first two times was not kept in the account, and was rewarded to those who reported and exposed. Even if it is exposed for the third time, there will be a reward of two taels of silver. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Cao Hao cautiously, knowing that he had always been generous, and she was afraid that he would be annoyed, so she said: "It's really no way, these old people in our house can still say that they will be beaten and punished." The newcomers to the south, after all, are in the next room, and if they make people beat, it seems to be disrespectful to the second wife. Now, with this new charter, whether it is an old man in the capital or a newcomer to the south, it is treated equally, but it is impossible to find fault with people! ”

Don't talk about others, it's Zhaojia's mother, Zhang's, who is famous for her broken mouth and nagging. Cao Hao couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of her. is to see herself, she still has to rely on the old and sell the old ink for a few words; treated to Cao Song and their brothers, that is, the nagging is endless.

Chu Yu only said that this matter was not handled properly, and said: "Since the forehead thinks it is inappropriate, is there any other way?" ”

Cao Hao smiled: "What's wrong, it's just right!" You and Amethyst have a good charter, and they both live in this mansion, do you have to divide the old man and the newcomer? Although the subordinates around the second aunt are not easy to discipline, we can't let go of the rules of the house. Since they all pay the monthly rules from the books, they must abide by the rules of the house. ”

When Chu Yu saw him say yes, he felt like he had eaten honey, and there was more smile on his face.

* Peony Temple, upper room.

Zhao Jiashi sat on the kang and looked at the maid standing on the ground, her face was pale. Mama Zhang saw that she was annoyed, and wanted to persuade her, but she thought that she couldn't pick it clean, so she didn't speak.

Zhao Jia's face was cold, and he sneered: "You really gave me a face!" The fifty or sixty people in this inner house, how come the subordinates in other people's yards know the rules, you have no sense of proportion, and you are actually arranging the nonsense of the master! ”

The more she spoke, the more annoyed she became, and she said directly to the daughters-in-law of several deacons standing in the front row: "You guys, you used to look like you knew the rules, why did you get into trouble when you got to the north!" A few days ago, I said to my grandmother with a shy face that I want to help you arrange errands, and you will make such a fuss! At this point, I was already trembling with anger.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and they all gave Mama Zhang a look with their eyes.

Mama Zhang smiled and stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, madam, the big guy has always been used to the south, and I don't know that there are taboos in his northern mansion." The big grandma is just playing by her son to give the big guy a dismount. Let's be careful in the future, so that she doesn't find faults! ”

"Dismount?" Zhao Jiashi sneered: "It's been more than a year since the old man passed away, and I'm impatient with the housekeeper director, but you all have a long face!" What are you that deserve her to give you a kick? It's just for my sake, I didn't directly discipline with a board. At the beginning, the five girls' ** went to Shandong, but it didn't take much effort for us, so we hit the board and sent it back! Hmph, it's good for you to remember your surname today, if there is a next time, you will wipe my face like this, and you don't need her to fine me for a month, I will be directly thrown out here! ”
