"Bang bang bang!" The gate was slammed, as if the whole courtyard was trembling, and Cao Song was still scolding at the top of his voice: "Seshtu, you turtle grandson, there is a kind of you who open the door, and when the old Cao family is gone, right?" ”

Cao Yiyuan supported Seshtu, and when he heard Cao Song's words, his body trembled slightly.

Even Lu Mubu, who was ignorant before, was confused when he heard the phrase "Lao Cao's family". Although he had never met the Cao family brothers, he knew that Seshtu and Pingjun Wang Nersu were brothers-in-law, and they were both daughters of the Cao family in Jiangning.

In a daze, Lu Mubu saw Cao Hao behind Cao Yi. Although Cao Hao and Cao Song, one is thinner and the other is stout, but after all, they are cousins of their relatives, and their appearance is still somewhat similar, Lu Mubu was stunned.

Cao Hao only felt very happy, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, squinting his eyes at Seshtu, but in his heart he had prepared even the worst.

Seeing Cao Hao's sneer, Lu Mubu was suspicious, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask who Cao Yi was.

At this time, Cao Hao had already said to the frightened porter: "What are you doing stupidly, my second child is here, why don't you open the door quickly?" ”

Cao Yi came to his senses, let go of Seshtu's arm, raised his leg and went to the door. Seshtu's body lost his strength, and he couldn't help but stagger, but fortunately, Lu Mubu was on the side, and quickly reached out to help.

Cao Yi ran up in two steps, ignoring the porter, and while pulling the latch, he called loudly: "Second brother, is it you?" ”

"Turtle ......" Cao Song was about to scold loudly, but suddenly heard Cao Yi's voice, immediately closed his voice, mixed with joy and anger, and replied loudly: "Third sister, my brother has come to clean up that bastard!" ”

Lu Mubu was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back, and he couldn't figure out what crime Seshtu had committed, so the Cao family's mother's family came to the door.

The door opened, and Cao Song, who was in the dust, strode in with staring eyes, and when he saw Cao Yi's emaciation, his face immediately turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "Third sister, that bastard actually bullied you like this!" him, uncle, see if I don't kill him! "When you speak, you have to rush in.

Cao Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab his arm, and said with a red face: "Brother is here!" ”

"Huh? Elder brother? Cao Song looked left and right, standing a few steps away, smiling at him, it was the eldest brother Cao Hao who he hadn't seen for months.

When Cao Song heard his brother at first glance, he was worried that he would be scolded if he beat Jiang Ning and ran back. When he saw Cao Hao smiling at himself, his heart suddenly became steady, grinning at the corners of his mouth, "hehe" laughed twice, and said, "Brother, you are here too!" ”

Cao Hao saw that his face was dark, his lips were chapped, and the plain clothes on his body were full of dust, thinking that Jiang Ning had traveled 2,000 miles to the capital, where would there be any words of blame, and what had happened before made him happy, so he only nodded gently.

Cao Hao was still a little strange in his heart, the front yard was like this, why didn't he see Mrs. Jueluo come out? Thinking about Wei Hei and Xiaoman, who hadn't shown up for a long time, they looked around, and sure enough, they saw Wei Hei slipping a little girl's neck over.

Those who followed Cao Song into Beijing, in addition to his little ink book, were followed by Wu Sheng and a few long-term followers. They followed Cao Song into the courtyard and gave Cao Hao and Cao Yi a salute.

Here, the Cao family brothers gathered together, and they all looked at Seshtu who was supported by Lu Mubu. Lu Mubu panicked, for fear that this group of people would do it again, so he leaned forward slightly, looked at Cao Yi, and prayed: "Sister-in-law......"

Cao Yi didn't pay attention to him, he was frowning at this moment, wiping the dust on Cao Song's face with a handkerchief, and his mouth was disgusted: "It's not good to keep filial piety at home, why did you come to Beijing?" Don't you have to worry about the elders and say hello to the elders? It's you who sneak out! "In the end, there was already a bit of annoyance.

Cao Song glanced at Lu Mubu, but when he turned to Cao Yi, he was full of smiles, and said with a little flattery: "Third sister, don't worry, my uncle and aunt have already said hello; On her mother's side, she coaxed her to say that she had something to do to find her brother in Shandong! ”

Cao Hao was about to step forward to visit Seshtu, and when he heard Cao Song's flattering words over there, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, this kid has now learned to lie. With his small appearance, it is strange that he dares to tell the truth in front of Cao Yin, and it is estimated that it would be good to remember to leave a book.

When Lu Mubu saw him coming, he tried to protect Seshtu behind him, but Seshtu was stronger than him, and in a panic, he almost pulled Seshtu to the ground.

Here, Cao Hao has already stretched out his hand and poked under Seshtu's nose, his snort is still there, Cao Hao is also relieved, refreshing is refreshing, if there is really a life, it is also a troublesome matter.

After a while, he saw Seshtu's eyelids move, and when he woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, and was very surprised to see Cao Hao, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Big brother!" ”

When Cao Hao heard the title, he completely forgot about the trouble of the dead just now, and only felt that his hands were itchy, and he really wanted to give him a few more bricks. Before he could speak, he heard Cao Song snort coldly beside him and said, "Seshtu, do you still have the face to call my brother big brother?" When you first picked up my third sister and went out, how did you respond? Speaking of this, he said to Cao Hao again: "Brother, just because he is a mother-in-law, our nephews are gone, how can such a person be worthy of the third sister?" ”

Seshtu panicked, looked at Cao Hao, and opened his mouth to argue, but he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say, so he froze there.

Cao Hao's face became colder and colder, and he looked back at Cao Yi, who was standing beside Cao Song and was slightly cramped, and said to Seshtu: "My second surname is not good, and I hurt you with anger." Otherwise, send someone to the Yamen of the infantry army to call an errand officer! ”

Because the Cao family and the Jueluo family are both in the banner, if there is a dispute or a lawsuit, they will not go to the Yamen of Shuntianfu, but will be under the jurisdiction of the Yamen, which is led by the infantry army.

If he wants to be an official, although it is wrong for Cao Song to beat people, he has the talisman of "anger", and he is now attacking the knight of the five-rank cloud cavalry; Although Jue Luo Saishitu is a red belt, he only has the knighthood of General Bong'en of the fourth grade. Although one of the two is a civil lord and the other is a clan lord, if they really start a lawsuit, Cao Song may not suffer. What's more, after all, Seshtu had filial piety and indiscretion before, and Cao Song's brother-in-law happened to be a filial son.

It's just that after being an official, even if Seshtu wants not to "reconcile", I'm afraid it's difficult; When the time comes, if he is "sentenced", he will not only lose his reputation, but also offend more people.

However, Seshtu couldn't think of this, although he hated his brother-in-law's behavior of picking up himself with bricks, but he finally felt a little weak. Therefore, when I heard Cao Hao say that he wanted to be an official, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, no, no!" Out of the way! As he spoke, he smiled at Cao Yi and comforted: "I'm fine, don't worry about it!" ”

Cao Song's eyes widened, and just wanted to scold him for not being so sentimental, Cao Yi had already stepped forward, grabbed Seshtu's arm, and said to everyone: "Let's talk in the house!" ”

A fluttering sentence was heard in everyone's ears, but the reaction was different.

Cao Hao looked at Cao Yi holding Seshtu's hand, and felt a little sour in his heart, this stupid girl, is this the choice?

Cao Song was very angry, and he also looked at Cao Yi's hand, if it wasn't for his brother, he wouldn't dare to act rashly, for fear that he would rush forward, pull his sister back, and then kick out the bastard Seshtu.

Lu Mubu secretly smacked his tongue, this sister-in-law usually said that she looked very weak, but now she saw her husband with blood on his head, but his eyes did not blink, and he walked steadily.

Seshtu only treated himself as a wife, and he was very grateful in his heart, and whispered to Cao Yi: "I'm sorry for making you embarrassed!" ”

Cao Yi listened, and his footsteps paused, but he did not answer.

Everyone sat in the hall, and Cao Yi asked Wei Hei to let go of the little servant in his hand and sent him to invite the doctor over. Wei Hei glanced at Cao Hao, and when he saw him nodding, Fang let go of his hand.

The little guy almost fell on his ass, and hurriedly got up and went out to ask the doctor.

Lu Mubu knew that this was a family matter, and he, an outsider, should avoid it, but look at the two brothers of the Cao family who are not good, the younger brother does not say anything about beating people, and the elder brother is a yamen when he speaks, and there is no room at all; On the Seshtu side, there is only one person, and he can't get angry when he is beaten.

His brother left early, and he was the only one left in the family. When I was a child, I fought with the children of Baylor Mansion, other people's families, and other people's families were also brothers and uncles and nephews, but he was only one single jumper on his side, and he knew that there was no hardship of brotherly support.

Now, seeing that Seshtu is lonely and lonely, and succumbing to the downside, Lu Mubu is a little angry, thinking about staying, if he starts again, two against two, and saves Seshtu from suffering.

There was silence in the room, and no one responded.

Cao Yi helped Seshtu clean up the blood stains on his face, and when he saw the blurred flesh and blood on his head, his heart was also trembling. "A husband and wife are a hundred graces", it is false to say that she does not feel sorry for Seshtu, but what she thinks more about is that if she gets heavier or pulls out his brains this time, the younger brother is afraid that he will have to take a lawsuit, and if he doesn't get it right, he will have to pay for his life...... Thinking of implicating her younger brother, her hands shook, and she was very afraid, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Seshtu only thought that his appearance frightened his wife, and hurriedly squeezed out a little smile, comforting: "It's really out of the way, it's okay in three or two days." In the early years, when I first arrived at the guard camp as an errand boy, the big guys fought, which was much hotter than this! ”

Cao Song heard this, and wanted to taunt Seshtu again, but seeing that Cao Yi's face was pale, he really scared his sister, and he couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, why did he hit this bastard's head in a flash, if he discounted his arm or his leg, to see if he could squeeze out this ghost appearance to pretend to be pitiful and contemptible.

Listening to the sound of hurried footsteps, Xiao Manda ran in at the door and said to Cao Hao: "In-laws...... No, Mrs. Kyaw Luo is here! ”

Cao Yi saw that Seshtu was injured like this, thinking about his mother-in-law Hitara clan, and was faintly a little uneasy. However, after glancing back at his brother and younger brother, he slowly calmed down again. Although she didn't want to make the Hitara clan sad, she also didn't want her brother and brother to be blamed. If the mother-in-law really wants to investigate, then let her bear it herself.

The Hitara clan came from the backyard with a few maids. I heard a movement in the front yard, and asked someone to ask at the second door, only to say that it was okay, and then I heard a knock on the door.

After all, she has lived for most of her life, and the old lady has seen more and knows that the eldest son of the Cao family looks kind, but it may not be a good stubble, otherwise those people with yellow flags will not be disgraced.

Perhaps because of the flesh and blood, the old lady only felt that her eyelids were beating hard, and she couldn't calm down after reciting the Buddha's name several times, so she finally got off the kang and went to the front yard in person.

Generally speaking, Cao Hao originally had a good impression of the old lady of the Jueluo family, and felt that she was more sensible, and the key was to be better with Ping'er. However, after learning about Seshtu, this good impression also disappeared.

However, because of Cao Yi's consideration, Cao Hao didn't want his sister to be embarrassed, and when he saw the Hitara clan entering the living room, he still got up from his seat.

The Xitara clan swept in the hall and saw that the second child of the Cao family was also there, which was very surprised, but when he saw that the flesh and blood on his son's head were blurred, he couldn't care about anything else, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Seshtu was afraid that the Hitara clan would be in a hurry, and struggled to get up from his seat, but his eyes were black and he almost fell. Fortunately, Cao Yi was holding on to him, but his body shook.

Seshtu's head sank, stiffened so not to faint, and said to the Xitara clan with a smile: "Eniang, my son just went to eat wine with Xiaolu, and accidentally fell and knocked on the door, don't get in the way, don't get in the way!" ”

Seeing that his son didn't speak loudly, he was quite smooth, and although there were blood stains on his body, his arms, legs and feet did not seem to have other external injuries, and his heart was a little calm. It's just, where will you believe his rumors about wrestling and smashing his head? Looking at the faces of the Cao brothers, one was full of anger and disdain, and the other was more and more deep without sorrow and joy, where did the old lady not understand.

In her early years, she saw a lot of this play. If it weren't for the fact that her mother's family had five brothers, she wouldn't be so tough in the Jueluo family. Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but half of her anger at the Cao brothers. But, after all, it is his own son, it doesn't matter if he scolds himself, if he is taught a lesson by others, he is still a little angry.

Xitara's face gradually calmed down, entered the living room, sat on the main seat, no longer looked at his son, and said to Cao Hao very kindly: "The eldest son of the in-laws, this is a business trip to Beijing?" I'm ashamed to let you catch up with this mess! ”

If this old lady was crying and shouting to see her son, or making a noise, Cao Hao would not have other thoughts, but this calmness was a bit different from ordinary people.

Cao Hao replied: "I thought that Brother Sai was a righteous person, but now, Cao Hao is a little confused, and he is still bothered by Mrs. Luo to solve the doubts of the younger generation!" ”

The Xitara clan frowned slightly, and continued: "The eldest son of the in-laws is also a person who marries his own son and starts a family, it seems that the Chunwang Mansion is also taking care of the in-laws' son-in-law!" ”

Cao Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Whose daughter is not a daughter? If he really didn't have Chu Yu right, then Hongshu and a few of them came to the door, and he had nothing to say.

The Hitara clan is not a person who is messing around, knowing that this matter is the fault of the son's side after all, so he said: "Even if it is my own brothers and sisters, when there is also a quarrel, it is not a big deal, why do you need to work hard to mobilize the people?" That's a big fuss! ”

Cao Hao smiled, looked at the Hitara clan, and said, "Mrs. Jueluo, just now when you entered the door, what did you feel like when you saw Brother Sai injured?" Some wounds are invisible or touchable, but they are even more distressing! Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Yi and stopped talking. I'm not here to talk to the old lady, just deal with a few sentences.

In the end, it depends on Cao Yi's meaning, looking at Cao Yi's actions, it doesn't seem like he is ruthless to Seshtu. Cao Hao had a headache, and when he saw his sister helping his mother at home, he also had some means; Why did you go out and become this little woman? It's not a rush.

In fact, Fang just said that he wanted to call someone to report to the Yamen of the Bu Army, in addition to exculpating Cao Song in advance, Cao Hao also had the intention of testing Ping'er. If Ping'er was really impatient with Jueluo's house, then he would take her away anyway.

Cao Yi listened to the wit of her mother-in-law and eldest brother, Cao Song and Lu Mubu didn't understand these words, even Seshtu probably couldn't understand them all, but she could hear her brother's concern and her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction.

Thinking of his brother and younger brother returning to Beijing from Jiangning and Shandong, Cao Yi couldn't help but redden, and regret and self-blame in his heart. I'm really useless, and I've been worrying all these years.

Unconsciously, Cao Yi sat up straight, looked at her brother who had always loved her the most, her brother who was closest to her, and then looked at her mother-in-law who had taught her hard, and said, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me!" ”

All the people looked at her, even Seshtu. With tears in his eyes, Cao Yi first said to Cao Hao and Cao Song: "It's all my fault, let my brother and second brother worry about me!" I didn't want everyone to worry about it, so I hid any sadness. Now I know that my brother is my brother, and my second brother will always be my second brother! There's nothing to worry about, and there's no more to worry about! ”

Cao Song listened confusedly and muttered: "Brother is not brother, brother is not brother, what is that?" ”

Cao Hao heard what she meant, and he didn't know whether to be happy for her or regret her choice, and sighed in his heart.

After Cao Yi finished speaking to her brother, she turned her head to look at her mother-in-law and said, "E-niang, it's all daughter-in-law who is not good, so E-niang is unfilial." The daughter-in-law knows what to do in the future! ”

Seeing that Cao Yi was in tears, his little face was full of determination, and he was also very relieved, and nodded with a smile.

Seshtu only felt a little chill in his body, dazed, and shivered a few times.
