Ergege's voice was not loud, but the resentment in it was undisguised.

Wugege was beside him, afraid that Chu Yu would blame her, and the sister had a suspicion, so she hurriedly whispered: "Second sister! ”

Er Gege glanced at Wu Gege and sneered: "Fifth sister, I'm not lying, isn't the fifth sister also envious of the eldest sister's good fortune?" ”

When Wugege heard this, he was anxious and embarrassed, his face was flushed, and he didn't know how to argue with Chu Yu. She really didn't understand why the second sister was angry with the eldest sister even if she was annoyed by the matter of marrying far away.

At this time, any words of consolation are all false. Chu Yu raised his head, looked at his sibling's thin little face and red eyes, still supported Ergege's arm, and said softly: "Second sister sit down and talk first." ”

Ergege glanced at his sister twice, but sat down with his back and didn't look at her.

Wugege's side has already regretted it. It was when she saw that Ergege was sad, so she thought about asking her eldest sister to come over and explain it. Who would have thought that Ergege's side would be with his sister first.

Chu Yu looked at her sister's back, and her eyes couldn't help but redden. Thinking that my sister loved to stick to herself when she was a child, sometimes she was tired, and she had to coax her to sleep by herself. It wasn't until they were teenagers and began to learn the rules that the two sisters became more estranged.

Thinking of his childhood, thinking of putting his sister on his lap and coaxing her to sleep, Chu Yu's eyes became more and more pityful.

At this moment, Er Gege had already turned around, just in front of Chu Yu's gaze.

I saw that her face was red and white, white and red, and she said for a while: "I have grown so big, I have never begged my eldest sister, how about begging my sister today?" ”

Chu Yu sat next to the bed, took her hand, and said softly: "What do you want or not, you are my own sister-in-law, don't say one, it's eight out of ten, but if I can do it for you, can I still refuse?" What the hell is going on, the second sister will talk about it. ”

Er Gege seemed to have calmed down, gently pulled out his hand, slowly lowered his head, and said, "Please, eldest sister, don't come before I leave Beijing...... Even if you come, don't come into my yard...... If I can't see the eldest sister, I will think that I am this life, as the daughter of the Aixin Jueluo family, I have enjoyed the honor of the emperor and grandson for more than ten years, and I should do my best for the court...... When I see the eldest sister, I will think: It turns out that not all Gege is in Mongolia, and there are people like the eldest sister who stay in the capital and marry into the lord's family, so that they can live in harmony and beauty...... In this way, I will complain to Amma, who is also a daughter, why did she personally choose a son-in-law for the eldest sister and go to Huang Mafa to ask for your life; Why did you ignore me and let the marriage decree of the palace come down...... The eldest mother regards you as her own daughter, and even her own five sisters stand aside; E-Niang pities you when you are young and is not around, for fear of wronging you; What about me, my mother-in-law, my biological mother, who will look at me? I am already miserable when I go to the country and leave home, does my eldest sister want me to leave Beijing with resentment towards Ama and Eniang? In the end, she raised her head, her expression was a little sad, and her face was full of tears.

Wugege was the closest to her, and when he saw her like this, his heart was also sour, he lowered his head and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Chu Yu saw that her sister was angry with herself, although she felt embarrassed, she didn't blame her, but when she heard the latter talk about her parents, she couldn't help frowning.

The knot in her heart is difficult to solve, and she doesn't want her sister to leave Beijing with resentment.

She said with a straight face: "Ama ignores you, and no one looks at you at the two Eniang, what is this called?" If you really ignore you, why did it point to Ao Han Taiji and not to Khalkha Mongolia? In order to let you marry closer to Rehe, didn't Amma bother? The two Eniang did not go to Rehe with Ama and stayed in Jingli, for what? Ama has long said that your dowry, in addition to the internal affairs office, the house also has to buy a copy, which is handled by two mothers. For you to be unhappy, E-Niang added a lot of gray hair on her head, and when I came over there just now, E-Niang also cried. I'm going to get married, leave Ama Eniang, and follow someone I've never met, you're afraid, I know this. That's how I came back then, shyly and timidly preparing to get married in front of people, and I would cry and wet my pillow at night. For this, I have to complain about Ama Eniang, regardless of the grace of more than ten years of birth and raising? ”

Ergege was speechless, and after a long while, Fang asked, "What the eldest sister said is true?" The ...... Also picked by Amma? ”

"What are you going to do? Ao Han is only a few days away from Rehe, and Huang Mafa goes to Saiwai every year to escape the summer. In the future, if you want to be Ama and Eniang, send a letter to someone and reunite with Rehe. Chu Yu replied.

Er Gege stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from his face, his expression softened a lot, and he heard Chu Yu say: "Ao Han Taiji has not only seen Amma, but your brother-in-law has also seen it. The little prince of the county king's mansion is all good-looking. It's just that because I met your brother-in-law, who treats people well, it seems that I am better. When the second sister gets married, she will know that all living beings are suffering, and you have to think about it yourself in order to have a good life. Over the years, I have been almost separated from your brother-in-law, and because of me, Tianhui was sick when she sat down, and it hurt to think about it. If I think about all this, I'm afraid I will also say that I will wash my face with tears. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Yu paused, and then said: "But think about it again, if you have both parents, you have siblings to support each other, and there are no catastrophes, isn't it our great blessing?" ”

Ergege was originally an open-minded person, but he was about to get married, and he lost his heart in anxiety, so he said those angry words. Now that she heard her sister's words, she was ashamed.

The previous resentment against his parents, but unconsciously disappeared ......without a trace* * Huke Yamen, busy for a while, in a blink of an eye, it is about to fall into the yamen.

Cao Hao handled the official documents on the bookcase, looked out the window, and followed the surname of the fourteenth elder brother. Since he forced the sixteenth elder brother to say those words yesterday, shouldn't he work harder today and come to his side.

Sure enough, I saw a person coming in at the gate of the courtyard, wearing royal blue clothes, with a yellow belt tied around his waist, it was the fourteenth elder brother.

A few people in the courtyard saw it, even if there were people who didn't know the fourteenth elder brother, they also knew the yellow belt, and they knew that it was the master of the sect, so they hurriedly leaned over and stood up.

The household department is in the yamen of the household department, and the gate of the household department is guarded by the guards. Those who can go directly to the Huke Yamen are all characters with a certain weight.

Just when Feng Che came out of the wing, he saw that it was the fourteenth elder brother, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.

The fourteenth elder brother glanced at him, raised his chin and said, "It turns out that you are also on an errand here, are you Lord Cao here, and the master is looking for him to talk." ”

In the small courtyard, he was so loud that Cao Hao couldn't pretend not to hear it, so he had to hold back his impatience and come out to greet him.

The fourteenth elder brother seemed to have changed his face, and he already had a smile on his face, and said to Cao Hao: "Master pinched a little, thinking that it was time for you to fall here, so I came over." If you have an errand here, go out and talk to your grandfather. ”

He behaved like this, and Cao Hao didn't want to stay in the yamen for long, otherwise he didn't know what would happen. Besides, the person in front of him spoke openly, and Cao Hao was afraid that what he said would implicate him.

Therefore, Cao Hao said: "The fourteenth master invites him to sit in the hall, and Rong Chen will come out after entering the house to explain two sentences." ”

The fourteenth elder brother waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, just go quickly, the master is in the yard, the house is boring." As he spoke, he pointed at Feng Che and said, "Master is talking to him." ”

Cao Hao listened, confessed, and entered the house. After explaining a few sentences to Jiang Jian, he handed over a few batches of documents to the pen and sealed them, and then he came out of the house.

The fourteenth elder brother was asking Feng Che about the current situation of the old Shangshu Marhan, and said that his identity was limited, otherwise he would have gone to visit Yunyun a long time ago. Feng Che here, I have to thank my grandfather for it.

Come politely, go politely, it's all a lie.

Seeing this, Cao Hao only felt funny.

Although the fourteenth elder brother wants to learn from other people's "Lixian corporal", but he can't let go of the prince's elder brother's genealogy, it is really awkward and awkward. Even if he originally said good things, but with his condescending demeanor and arrogant tone, it made people feel harsh when they heard it.

Details determine success or failure, and this principle also applies to the battlefield of succession.

When the household department came out, the fourteenth elder brother took Cao Hao to a teahouse in Xidan Pailou, asked for a private room, sent someone to guard the door, and the two talked in the room.

Cao Hao sneered in his heart, it doesn't matter what the fourteenth elder brother inks today, the important thing is to come to this when the officials of the six yamen are falling. Even if the two of them only drank two sips of tea here and said two words of nonsense about the good and sunny weather, the news that Ming'er and other princes' mansions got was designated as "The fourteenth elder brother and Cao Hao had intimate contacts, and they entered the tea room at a certain time and whispered" or something.

In the tea cup, it is this year's new tea, and the good Longjing before the rain is fresh and fragrant.

Cao Hao has a plan, and he is no longer as irritable as before for these small actions of the fourteenth elder brother.

The fourteenth elder brother seemed to really regard Cao Hao as a "confidant", and put the excerpt he had newly drafted today to invite the Qinghai Soldier Post in front of Cao Hao, and said: "Cao Hao, the military situation is urgent, my grandfather didn't sleep for half a night yesterday, and I thought about it all the time." Look at this excerpt, tell me what you mean, see what this proposal can be made? ”

How could the two have been so familiar with each other, to the point where they can discuss major matters? The fourteenth elder brother can't help it, and he wants to invite soldiers into battle?

Cao Hao picked up the fold and looked at it carefully.

It's a good idea, but it's a bit oversight. That is, when it comes to the internal and external vassals of Mongolia, it is up to the Imperial Court to intervene. The fourteenth elder brother sprinkled a large number of articles, all of which were directly displayed in front of the emperor, and did not mention the domain at all.

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. The fourteenth master's proposal is very good. Cao Hao looked at the fourteenth elder brother, and his attitude was very "sincere": "It is said that the fourteenth master is familiar with military books and has opinions on military affairs, and I was flattered by everyone at that time." Today, it seems that there is no vanity under the fame. ”

The fourteenth elder brother was already proud, and Cao Hao's words were so pleasing to the ear that he felt like a bosom friend, and he couldn't help but start talking again.

When Cao Hao saw it, he only felt lucky, fortunately, the tea table in the middle was a square table, which separated the two of them far away, otherwise the spitting surname would not have been sprayed...... It wasn't until the fourteenth elder brother said that his mouth was dry, and he drank several pots of tea, and felt that the heat was almost over, so he said goodbye to Cao Hao with satisfaction and took people to Shicha's overseas house.

Cao Hao saw his back far away, so he turned over and got on his horse, and instructed Zhao Tong: "Send someone out of the city to tell the master and wife, and say that there are more errands today, stay in the city, and go over tomorrow." ”

Zhao Tong responded, Cao Hao looked at the sunset on the horizon, turned the horse's head, and went to Goldfish Alley.

No matter how arrogant the fourteenth elder brother is, he is not afraid, because he is not deeply rooted, and because he has too many weaknesses. For example, the Wu family by the sea zi.

Wu, after the offense, his father and brother were implicated in the turmoil of the "abolished prince", sentenced to exile, and died of illness on the road. Wu's family is a lost and orphaned girl, sold into slavery, tossed and turned, and has an unbearable past. Three years ago, he was met by the fourteenth elder brother and began to "hide Jiaojiao in the golden house".

Fourteenth elder brother is around, there are groups of wives and concubines, how can there ever be a shortage of women? has such a long affection for Wu, which shows that he is a little sincere.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

If in the future, if there is a turn of face with the fourteenth elder brother, then if you can control this Wu family, it will also make the fourteenth elder brother jealous.

It is not a glorious thing to calculate on a woman. Cao Hao rode on the horse, only feeling a little depressed.

Unconsciously, I entered the goldfish alley and arrived at the gate of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion.

The housekeeper welcomed Cao Hao in, and at the same time sent people to the second gate.

One time later, the thirteenth elder brother came in in his regular clothes, saw Cao Hao, and said with a smile: "After I knew yesterday that the fourteenth brother pulled you to eat and drink, I knew that you should come to the door." I didn't expect it to be so fast. ”

"It's really no way, the fourteenth master went to the yamen to block me again today, and went to the Xidan teahouse to drink tea for an hour in front of everyone." Cao Hao said with a little helplessness.

At this time, I heard a "grunt" sound, and it was Cao Hao's Five Organs Temple protesting.

"Didn't have dinner? Lord, this makes people ready to go. The thirteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao's official uniform and said.

"That's a good feeling, I'm really a little hungry, I'll talk to the Thirteenth Master today." Cao Hao said with a smile.

The thirteenth elder brother called a small servant, and after the order, he turned his head and said to Cao Hao: "Live so carefully, the master is tired for you." He pulls you to play for others to see, and you follow suit, what's wrong with this world? ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Besides, there's no other way. Cao Hao said.

There was silence in the room, and both men were silent. After a while, Fang heard the thirteenth elder brother speak: "In some cases, it is my father-in-law's birthday, and I will think about bringing Fujin and the children over to celebrate his birthday." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the thirteenth elder brother for a long time, and said, "The thirteenth master has thought about it?" ”

Shangshu Mansion was preparing for Marhan's birthday, and Cao Hao had already heard Feng Che and He Lian mention it.

There is an old folk saying, called "Seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of Hades does not call himself to go". Marhan is now eighty-four years old, and his body is not as strong as before, and his nephews and daughters are afraid that he will not survive, and they want to have a big birthday, which is not only a good luck, but also filial piety.

As a son-in-law, it is reasonable for the thirteenth elder brother to come forward to "pay homage".

Cao Hao knew that it was not a simple "birthday greeting", otherwise the thirteenth elder brother would not have made a special trip to mention this sentence.

"I thought of borrowing your strength, or borrowing the momentum of the fourth brother to go out of the mountain, but now I see it. Huang Ama doesn't want me to meddle in government affairs, even if you two recommend it, it's useless. In addition to government affairs, there are some other affairs. I've wasted all these years, and it's time to start pushing the door open. The thirteenth elder brother said with a bit of embarrassment.

Cao Hao was a little conflicted in his heart, and some supported the choice of the thirteenth elder brother, after all, as a big man, if he was confined to the house for many years and didn't go out to breathe, he would be wasted; However, thinking of the upcoming war in the northwest and the suspicious fourth elder brother, Cao Hao couldn't help but worry about the thirteenth elder brother.

Seeing Cao Hao's worries, the thirteenth elder brother said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know how much I weigh." Over the years, there have been fewer 'targets', and no matter how confused I am, I won't be that 'target'. ”

It's good to understand this, otherwise, maybe when you have to set yourself on fire...... * Xidan archway, a restaurant.

In the private room near the window, there were two people sitting, it was Jiang Jian and Li Wei.

Li Wei was wearing an official uniform, but because there were six yamen next to him, there were many officials, so he didn't look dazzling.

This was not the place to speak, so the meal was delivered, and both of them began to bury their heads in the bitter food.

Thinking about it, Li Wei said that he had a boring life, and when he saw his old friends, he had a good appetite and two more bowls of rice.

Jiang Jian couldn't help but smile when he saw him gobbling it up, and said with a smile: "This official did it, but he didn't see anything else, and he was good at eating." What's the matter, the dishes made by the cook at home are not to the taste? ”

Li Wei ate the belly round, put down the rice bowl, and said: "The harvest of Zhuangzi in Xuzhou has not been good in the past few years, and the silver sent to Xuzhou, except for the one that was returned to Cao Ye, there are a few left." I didn't look for a cook, I just called a rough woman to cook in the kitchen. ”

"If you're short on money, open your mouth, don't be polite." Jiang Jian said.

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, it's just right now." I used to think that all the officials were rich, but a few years ago, when I saw those poor Hanlin walking on the street, I only thought it was funny. Now that I have entered the military department and met many colleagues, I know what a 'Beijing official' is clear. This is still an official, and if you can call slaves and maids like me, you already know a lot. ”

"'Shibei San, you should be impressed', the ancients did not deceive me. Youjie has been reborn. Jiang Jian listened to Li Wei's words and couldn't help but admire.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Non-phosphorus, you can help me tell Cao Ye about something." I, Li Wei, am incompetent, and I may have offended the fourteenth elder brother. These words, he has the heart to woo, but I am impatient with this. If Brother Fourteen remembers to clean me up one day, it's just a piece of cake. When it really comes, please be sure to watch from the wall and don't get involved. It's a big deal, I, Li Wei, pat my ass and leave, and go back to the countryside to be my rich man. The fourteenth elder brother is now covering the sky in the military department, and his arrogance is flourishing, if Cao Ye is an enemy with him, he will suffer a loss......"

"Hey, since you don't worry about your lordship, why don't you tell him personally?" Jiang Jian sighed and said, "Why make such a fuss. You know your last name. When it really comes to you being wronged, how can adults stand by and watch? ”

"If you don't go to Caofu, it's not a birth." Li Wei raised the wine cup in front of him, drank it all, and said, "Cao Ye's great kindness, I, Li Wei, dare not forget ...... for a moment."
