On September 28, the holy driver returned to Changchun Garden, and Wang Jingzeng and Tang Zhiyu returned to Beijing with him. I haven't seen each other for months, and we can't help but say hello to each other.

Wang Jingzeng is okay, and Cao Hao is just a gentleman's friend. Tang Zhiyu and Cao Hao have a closer relationship, and I still remember the joy when Cao Hao knew that he had a daughter when he was in Rehe. Therefore, before he saw him, he was worried that he was upset by his daughter's illness and thought about how to comfort him.

Now, seeing that there is no difference between Cao Hao's words, and Cao Yin is in Beijing, this is the joy of the reunion of father and son, Tang Zhiyu is much more relieved.

When the two first arrived in Beijing, they hadn't returned home yet, so Cao Hao waited for the two to explain their errands, so they let them go back first.

After the two left, Yi Duli came over, with a little hesitation, and said: "After the thirteenth brother's birthday, if you can't go to the house to eat and drink?" ”

Since he went to Caofu, Yi Duli has been a little uncomfortable with his expression. Cao Hao only did the usual, and did not show any dissatisfaction or abnormality.

Seeing that Yi Duli took the initiative to speak, Cao Hao nodded and said, "I want to go, but that day the court meeting, it is estimated that it will be dark." ”

Yi Duli smiled and said, "That being the case, let's go over together that day." ”

Cao Hao responded, and Yi Duli said again: "Fu Ruo, I didn't expect it, the dim sum shop below your house is now on fire." It's that my mother ate the Chongyang cake from Daoxiang Village at the beginning of the month, and she praised it. At first, the old people thought it was sweet before the opening of your house, and they were all distributed to the children. Later, he also talked to me that there are several patterns that are not seen in the shop now, and I don't know what the taste is. By the way, what is the reason for this? When asked, he was a little curious.

These Cao Hao knew that it was because of the scarcity of materials for a few dim sums, but they were exchanged for some from Guangzhou. Therefore, except for the few dim sum items made before the opening, the remaining materials are kept and useless, and they are not bought and sold in the store to add color to the reserved dumpling table.

Iduli's mother was not only the daughter of Suoetu, but also a well-known female poetess.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they vigorously promoted Confucianism and etiquette. The chaste archway given by the imperial court is a year down, not to mention that there are all sides.

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue", which is recognized by the world.

Despite this, it is not uncommon for women to form associations to write in the elite class in the capital or Jiangnan.

In the early years, the Cao family sisters participated in the Jizhu Society, which was also a small society. It's just that because the women attending the meeting are young, most of them are mainly social, and they occasionally get something in poetry, and because it is a boudoir work, it is rarely spread outside.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao couldn't help but look at Yi Duli twice. His father is a university scholar and his mother is a talented woman, so he should inherit some talents, but it is not obvious.

Yi Duli was stunned, looked down at his surroundings, there was nothing abnormal, and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

Cao Hao said with a smile: "I'm looking to see if the adults have the wind of Nalan, but I haven't seen it." ”

Yi Duli smiled: "I heard these words when I was a child, and my ears were calloused, until I had a son in the past few years, and I didn't talk about it much." What is the meaning of dancing and writing, I was forced to study by Ama when I was a child. Although he held up the book in front of the master and Amma, it was just a pretense, and he couldn't read a word. ”

"By the way, these snacks are not easy to change as raw materials, so they are not made in the shop. It just so happened that the thirteenth elder brother was celebrating his birthday, and he planned to make some of them, but Mrs. Tai asked, and they could just make a table together. Cao Hao thought about what Yidu Lifang had just asked, and replied.

When Yi Duli heard this, he couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "This is the best, I have to pay homage to Eniang." Speaking of this, he smiled a little strangely, lowered his voice, and said: "Just because Eniang loves to eat these, she has recently made people run to Daoxiang Village several times, how can I hear people say that Dao is a female shopkeeper?" ”

"The old man of Jiangning!" Cao Hao didn't want to say more, so he replied, and then diverted the conversation: "In the middle of the year, people in the yamen will be sent out of the mouth. Lord Wang and Lord Tang have just returned from Rehe, and then they will have to go to one of the two of them. ”

When Yi Duli heard this, he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I will take the initiative to ask for help this time." Fu Ruo has to be busy with the family affairs of his brothers, and he has to wait for Ling Zun's relatives to enter Beijing, which is really not as comfortable as me. ”

"If that's the case, then I really have to thank you!" Cao Haoyuan was a little worried about his family, and after listening to Yi Duli's words, he was naturally happy.

Before the government fell here, the sixteenth elder brother came to find it.

It was the lack of the guard department, and this time when he returned to Beijing, he specially came to find Cao Hao to report the good news.

Cao Hao walked around for a while in July and August, but because there was no news coming down, he no longer had any hope in his heart, and he thought about going to the guard camp or the pioneer camp to take a look.

The six-grade Lanling guards are still inward, but they are decent and light. That is, the sixteenth elder brother followed the hu, and got the news early, otherwise, I don't know how many people robbed their heads to make up for it.

After telling Cao Hao the good news, the sixteenth elder brother gave another sentence and said, "This time, a few adults from the guard office are also worried about this shortcoming, so they let me grind it down." You have prepared some gifts these days, and thanked them in several mansions, and Fu Erdan and Alinga are thicker. ”

Even if the sixteenth elder brother didn't say these words, Cao Hao knew it in his heart. Even if it is for Cao Song to join, these people have to go to worship first.

The most grateful is the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao only mentioned it once in the letter, and the sixteenth elder brother can be so attentive, which is really grateful.

It's just that with the friendship between the two, they talk too much, but they see the outside. Cao Hao thanked him with a smile and asked about farewell. The sixteenth elder brother briefly talked about the past few months, and the itinerary is similar every year, and there is nothing unusual.

The sixteenth elder brother had already gotten the news, and knew that Cao Yin was going to Beijing after making up for the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and his face was also happy, and he said: "E-niang has been talking several times, and my aunt has arrived in Beijing, and there will be someone who can talk to her in the future." Otherwise, every time I see other palace relatives enter the palace, I am very envious, and I also think about my relatives here. ”

It was not cheap to talk in the yamen, so Cao Hao explained a few sentences to Yi Duli, and came out with the sixteenth elder brother first.

The two rode horses and walked side by side. The sixteenth elder brother heard that Cao Song's brothers' family affairs had been booked, and said to Cao Hao with a smile: "Fortunately, my brother-in-law wants to enter Beijing, otherwise you, as an elder brother, would be to make up for errands and marry a daughter-in-law, and Dao really responded to the sentence 'The eldest brother is like a father'." In the end, it is trivial, and if you don't talk about it, it is easy to complain. It's not a brother, and you're a soft-hearted person, and if you change to someone else, you must have already given birth to a heart of disgust. ”

Speaking of which, thinking of the brotherly "friendship" between the prince and the elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother couldn't help but sigh a little. He glanced at Cao Hao, his face was a little complicated, and said: "Xu is kind and rewarded, you are just taking care of your brother like this, and you don't want to do anything, which can be regarded as worry-free." Unlike some people, who are tired of others and themselves, this 'brotherhood' is also really tiring. ”

Seeing him sigh like this, Cao Hao said, "What do you want to do so much, don't you want to be the prince of freedom?" It will be in the future. ”

The sixteenth elder brother only thought that Cao Hao was comforting himself, and he didn't take it to heart, waved his hand, and said: "You are so easy to be the prince, I expect that when Huang Ama lets us go out of the palace, we will reward more Zhuangzi Amitabha." ”

Laughing, when they arrived at the intersection, the sixteenth elder brother was still in a hurry to return to the palace first, and the two of them said goodbye.

After Cao Song's errand, Cao Hao's side was also overjoyed, and he went home directly, wanting to tell the good news to the big guys.

Returning to the mansion, entering the second gate, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Shaoyuan, Cao Hao heard the angry shouts of the Zhaojia clan: "The niece of the bullshit governor's mansion, married to the family who raided the family and exterminated the clan, isn't this a blood mold?" What's so good about the girl in his family, just follow her grandmother? In this capital, who doesn't know that 'the mother of Kali, the ancestor of calamity', forced his children and grandchildren to die, raided his family and exterminated his family, is he a good person? No, I don't recognize this family business, I can't stand this joke. ”

Cao Hao listened in the courtyard, stopped, and frowned.

It seems that Zhao Jia's got the news and attacked Cao Song, but I don't know how Cao Song will answer.

There was a "plop" in the room, and then Cao Song said: "Mother, son...... The son didn't sincerely hide it from his mother, but he really fell in love with Jinghui. also knows the dignity of the family, and does not dare to disgrace the family. Although Jinghui's family is defeated, what is the matter with her little girl? Now, her aunt has taken her to the Fucha family to be married, and she has nothing to do with the Dong E family. Mother, this family business was requested by her son, and I hope that my mother can feel sorry for her son and fulfill her son's experience. As he spoke, it was already a "bang" sound.

"It's a fart!" Zhao Jia's voice trembled a little, and he scolded: "You are not a filial son, because you are the eldest son, I have tried my best to find a decent family for you." For you, even the relatives of your uncle's family, I pushed it to the third child, but I found such an eldest daughter-in-law, do you make me unable to raise my head for the rest of my life......" Speaking of this, it was a series of scoldings on the street, and even Cao Hao was scolded in.

Cao Hao was bored listening to it, and came out of the peony courtyard, feeling a little bored.

On Jing Hui's side, he had already agreed with Fu Nai. Although he does not change his surname, the Fucha family only serves as a married girl, and he will also be Jinghui's maiden family in the future.

It is also the best of both worlds to let the orphan girl have something to rely on, and to renew the in-laws of the Cao family and the Fucha family.

Although Zhao Jia's words are ugly, parents in this world are all for the sake of their children. Cao Hao knew this, and he wouldn't bother with her.

It's just that in response to what the sixteenth elder brother just said, "It's trivial, if you don't say it, it's easy to complain", so he felt a little tasteless.

In Wutong Garden, there happened to be a newly made winter coat outside, Chu Yu and Amethyst, two of them, were comparing clothes to Hengsheng to see the length of their bodies.

Seeing Cao Hao come back, both of them got up.

Cao Hao saw that Amethyst was looking better, and said to the two: "While it's still not cold now, the two of you will also go out of the house, and it's okay to put incense in the temple if you have nothing to do, it should be a pastime." Save the day and be stuffy in the house, it's boring. ”

Hengsheng just put on a deerskin hat, ran to Cao Hao's feet, and said, "Father...... New hat ......"

Cao Hao bent down, held him in his arms, and asked, "Who gave him the new hat?" Has Hang Seng thanked you? ”

Hengsheng turned his body halfway, glanced at Chu Yu, and then at Amethyst, and said: "Mother made it, aunt gave it ......" The rest of the "Xie" was embarrassed to say, turned around, and reached out to grab Cao Hao's Chaozhu to play.

Chu Yu said with a smile: "If it was in previous years, it would have been enough, and now it is empty?" To clean up the old lady's yard, the backyard also has to build a back cover house, so as to save people not enough to live. The yard in Dongfu is almost cleaned up, and some big furniture has to be moved from here to there. There's a lot to do inside and out. When the old lady goes to Beijing, it is decided, that is, the second brother and the third brother make a big decision, and then they are ready to get married, and it is good to be busy until the end of the year to breathe a sigh of relief! ”

Amethyst also said: "Uncle doesn't have to worry about grandma and me, even if you don't go to the temple to offer incense, by adding the gift of the two masters, you can go out of the house every once in a while." ”

Seeing that the two of them were happy, Cao Haoshi didn't want to sweep away their interest, so he said happily, "The second brother's errand has been made up, and the six-grade Lanling guards are also decent." ”

When Chu Yu heard this, she was very happy and said, "The second aunt is talking about these righteous thoughts, which can be regarded as a wish." ”

Cao Hao smiled, looked at Hengsheng's little hat and said, "This looks good, is God blessed?" There is also the father and mother's side, also prepare some good wool materials, and when the second elder enters Beijing, he can also make it as soon as possible, and save the time to prepare for delay. ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "It's all ready, and the ready-to-wear and materials are all ready." The old man and his wife made four sets according to the size left in Beijing last year, and the rest were materials. God blessed, it is an inch more than Zuo Cheng's and their little brothers, and a few sets were made first. ”

Cao Hao put down Hengsheng, and just wanted to ask Daoxiang Village about the accounting, but he heard someone under the corridor: "Is the eldest grandmother here?" Our wife asked grandma to come over ......"
