For Deco, who believes in God in his mouth, but actually marries five wives and concubines and gives birth to seven or eight daughters, he can't help but secretly rejoice after the death of his eldest daughter.

He thought that the shares left by his daughter and son-in-law would fall into his hands.

By the time he knew that his brothers had quietly added more shares, Cao Hao had already made someone sell eighty percent of the shares in Wei Xin's hands.

Deco's miscalculation is a miscalculation, not only is he greedy, but his several wolf-like brothers are also a lot.

When Deco was annoyed and angry, he forced his second daughter Gina to take him to Wang's house to find Cao Hao, Cao Hao had already asked people to pack up and plan to leave Guangzhou tomorrow and go north by land.

"Lord Earl, Gary is the son of Wei and has the right to inherit Wei's inheritance. It's a shame that you made a decision. Deco was full of complaints, but seeing Cao Hao's momentum, he didn't dare to speak foul language, remembering that this was Guangzhou, not Macau, and that an earl of the Qing Dynasty was much more noble than him.

Cao Hao didn't speak, just glanced at Zhang Yi who was standing next to him.

Zhang Yi took a step forward and replied without humility or arrogance: "Master Deke, before Wei Wuye went abroad, he told everyone that he later injected 400,000 yuan into the Ai family, which was originally the silver of our uncle, and he was only entrusted to act. ”

Deco was choked and speechless, and said in a daze: "Oh, Lord Earl, you can't be so ruthless. Even if you don't think about Wei, you have to think about poor little Gary. Without a father and losing a mother, how pitiful the little one is. ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes, took out a white handkerchief, and wiped it from the corner of his eye.

Cao Hao snorted coldly in his heart, if he really thought about his daughter and son-in-law, he would not have acquiesced to others' attempts to embezzle Wei Xin's shares before.

"Oh? Does Mr. Decaux mean that little Gary is unsupported? Cao Hao spoke, but his eyes looked at Gina, who was sitting with Deco's hands.

Before Ida died, Cao Hao also visited. Thinking that he also knew that his father was greedy for money, Ida did not entrust his son to Deco, but to his sister Gina.

If it weren't for Gina's insistence, Cao Hao would have planned to take Gary away.

"No, I'll raise little Gary. He is my sister's child and my child. Regardless of whether there is an inheritance left by my sister or brother-in-law, I will raise him. Gina stood up, her originally plump face filled with a little grief from the loss of her loved ones.

"Wei Xin left behind the shares, there are still 20% of them that have not been sold, and these two achievements are given to Miss Gina as Gary's child support." Cao Hao said and asked Zhang Yi to hand over a relevant document to Gina.

De Cobaba looked at it, "hehe" twice, and said, "Gina is always going to get married, how many years can she raise Gary?" It's better to hang it in Gary's name. ”

Cao Hao didn't speak, if Gina couldn't stop her father's greed, it wouldn't be able to shelter young Gary.

Gina took the paperwork from Zhang Yi's hand, glanced at Deco lightly, and said, "Father rest assured, even if his daughter gets married, he will take Gary with him." ”

What else did Deco have to say, Cao Hao had already spoken: "Send off guests." ”

Deco pursed his lips, got up and nodded, and strode out. Gina hesitated, did not go out with his father, and said, "Lord Count, can I talk to you?" ”

Cao Hao nodded, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Miss, please take a seat." ”

Gina sat down, thought for a moment, and said, "Lord Earl, I am a woman after all, and I have a place in the family because of my father's needs, but I don't have any power. If I return to Macau, my life will be under my father's control, and I can't guarantee whether I can take care of Gary. I want to stay in Guangzhou with Gary, if I encounter difficulties in the future, can I turn to the Wang family and Zhang Ye for help......"

Cao Hao looked at her and said, "What difficulties will Miss Gina encounter?" ”

Gina didn't answer directly, but said: "I heard that the second young master of the Fan family has opened a new shop in the city and started economic trading, and many of the guests of the Fan family who ran away earlier have gone to the second young master......

Seeing that Cao Hao was silent, Gina straightened her chest and said: "The Ai family is not much better than the Fan family now, if it weren't for the help of the eldest brother-in-law in the past few years, the Ai family would have gone bankrupt a long time ago." What Fan Shishen can do, I can do too. As early as two years ago, I followed my father and became his right and left hand; He's older than me, but he's just starting out to learn business. I only hope to get the support of the Earl without causing trouble to the Earl. ”

"How far can you go?" Cao Hao groaned a little and asked.

Gina stood up, raised her chin and said, "I'll be a dame." ”

Her father, Deco, had a good early life and spent a lot of money to buy a knighthood from the King of Portugal. Because he was not a nobleman, he only had a knighthood.

Gina is targeting the Dame and seems to be the heir to her father and the head of the Ai family.

The ideal is good, but it is quite difficult.

Cao Hao looked at the teacup in his hand and said, "I have grown so big, and I have done business several times, and I have made a lot of profits." Only this time, the Macau Ai family lost money. ”

Not only did he not gain anything, but he also folded a teenage friend into it. Although he has no direct relationship with the Ai family, Cao Hao is just a mortal, so he can't help but be a little angry with the Ai family.

knew that Wei Xin would end up with an unknown fate of life and death, and Cao Hao would never support Wei Xin to go abroad to see the world.

Cao Hao didn't say much, but with the lack of interest on his face, Gina was a little anxious, and said, "Lord Earl left Steward Zhang in Guangzhou, didn't he want to run a foreign company?" I will be the best partner of Steward Zhang, please trust me, Lord Earl. ”

Cao Hao did not answer, nor did he refuse, and said: "Since this is the case, Cao Hao will wait and see." ”

Gina also obediently didn't stop rambling and left.

Just now, Cheng Mengxing came back from outside, wiped the sweat on his head with a handkerchief, and said, "No, I'll go out for half an hour, I'll be soaked all over, I'll go to bathe and change clothes first, and then talk to Fu Ruo." ”

When he first arrived in Guangzhou, he was still a little excited, and he was willing to take Cao Hao around all day to see the customs of other places; In May, the heat was pressing, and his life was not easy.

I always have to take a shower and change clothes several times in a day to feel more comfortable.

Because he is about to leave tomorrow, Cao Hao still has a lot of things to arrange, so he will let Cheng Mengxing go by himself.

At this time, I saw Cao Yi coming over, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I will leave Guangzhou tomorrow, and the young ones will take a leave of absence today, and they will go out with Steward Zhang to relax and relax." ”

Cao Hao knew that he was colorless and unhappy, and this "relaxed" place, needless to say, was also a Qinglou Jifang. He didn't say anything about it, nodded and said, "I know, where to go, inform Cao Fang and let him settle the money." ”

Cao Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and bowed down and said, "Since this is the case, the little one has thanked the uncle......"

Watching him leave, Cao Hao felt quite emotional in his heart.

No matter what Cao Jia's identities were before the four of them, they have been conscientious in the Cao family in the past few years. Cao Hao has always been courteous to them.

Cao Bing and Cao Ding had already married and settled down two years ago, but Cao Jia and Cao B politely rejected the kindness of the Cao family and still lived alone.

There is no concern, when it is free and easy, but it is also impossible to control.

Cao Hao believes in his father's human vision, and also believes in what he has seen in the past few years, if he were someone else, he is afraid that he will not put his safety in the hands of these two people.

After all, he is not an immortal, nor an emperor, and he does not have the ability to control everything.

Therefore, he did not get entangled, but chose to believe, and chose to believe in Cao Jia and Cao Yi like Wei Hei and Zheng Hu.

Cao Yi only walked on the front foot, and Cao Fang and Wei Hei arrived on the back foot.

When Cao Hao went out of Beijing, he didn't hide it, he came out under the banner of the sixteenth elder brother, and when he went back, he couldn't be empty-handed. took out tens of thousands of taels of silver and bought some spices in the name of the sixteenth elder brother; He bought some for himself and went back to give them away.

Seeing this, Cheng Mengxing also followed the fun and went to purchase foreign goods all day. His family has a big business, and his daughter is about to get married, so he sold several cars.

In this way, it is necessary to hire a team and a dart bureau to go north, and Cao Fang and Wei Hei will be busy with this for a few days.

Originally, Cao Fang was scheduled to escort them, but later several truckloads of foreign goods from the Cheng family were added, and there was a shortage of manpower, so Cao Hao asked Wei Hei to follow the convoy.

At that time, Cao Hao will take people first, and he will go to Jiangning halfway to visit Wei Xin's children. On the convoy side, it will be repaired for two days before setting off.

"Things don't matter, people are the most important. If you really encounter bandits and bandits, you can fight them, but if you can't beat them, forget it, and there are people in the dart game to follow you. Cao Hao said to the two.

Cao Fang and Wei Hei responded, and Cao Hao mentioned that Cao Yi went out to drink flower wine, and sent Cao Fang over to have a look.

Only Cao Hao and Wei Hei were left as the master and servant, Wei Hei took out a silver ticket in his arms, sent it to Cao Hao, and said: "Childe, although I don't have much friendship with Wei Wuye, I have known each other for many years, this time I should have gone to the Wei family with Gongzi to have a look, but I didn't care about it." This is a hundred taels of silver, so he bothered the boy to turn it on to the children to buy fruit to eat. ”

Cao Hao took it and said with a wry smile: "Wei Wu left his hometown and went to Guangzhou before he was weak, I can't say that it's all because of me, it's about the same." If he hadn't met me, he would still be his young master and be his gentleman, maybe it would have been much better. In this life, I owe him in the end. ”

Wei Hei saw that Cao Hao was so sentimental, and comforted: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the son doesn't need to think too much. Maybe in two years, Wei Wuye will come back from overseas. ”

The matter has come to this, it is meaningless to say anything, Cao Hao sighed and did not speak again.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to say.

Before dawn, Wang Lusheng got up and ordered someone to set up a banquet and prepare a farewell meal for Cao Hao and Cheng Mengxing.

Zhang Yi and his wife also came over early, and Xiyun sent a baggage, which was a set of clothes sewn for Chu Yu, as well as small purses and socks sewn for several little masters.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was already bitter, Cao Hao patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know you want to go back to Beijing, bear with it again, first help Fan Er to prop up this stall, and when the cloth is transported here, I will make someone change you." ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he knelt on the ground, and said: "Uncle, it's not that you are afraid of hardships and greedy for the wealth of the capital, but you have been on an errand by the uncle's side for many years, and you really don't want to be so far away from the uncle." ”

Cao Hao helped him up and said, "If you talk too much, who will think of you like this?" I also miss you, and my grandmother often talks about your daughter-in-law. It's just that there are few people I can use, so I have suffered you for a few years. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he shook his head and said, "The little one doesn't dare to complain." Xu is in the eyes of others, the small one is still fat, but the small one is worried about the uncle and the little masters, so he feels uncomfortable outside. ”

The master and servant said a few more words. It was not early, Cao Hao did not delay any longer, and set off on the road with Cheng Mengxing and others.

Zhang Yi sent his wife back first, rode a horse by himself, followed Wang Lusheng and others, and sent Cao Hao and his party out of the city, far away until they were out of sight, and then returned to the city.

When he arrived outside the door of his residence, Zhang Yi was blocked by Fan Shishen.

"Cao Ye is gone?" Fan Shishen's face was a little pale, and he looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

Zhang Yi nodded, looked up at the sky, and said, "Second Young Master Fan, how can he be idle today?" ”

At this time, Fan Shishen was either in the shop, or at the dock or the market.

Fan Shishen pulled Zhang Yi's horse reins and asked with a bit of pleading: "Master Zhang, does Master Cao want to buy the Fan family?" Cao Ye's status is noble and decent, why does he fall in love with the little Fan family? ”

Seeing that he said it upside down, Zhang Yi frowned and asked him to enter the house to talk.

"What's going on? Headless and brainless? Whether our master is noble or not, decent or undignified, there is no need for Second Young Master Fan to comment. After the guest and host sat down, Zhang Yi's face was a little unsightly, and his tone became sharp.

Fan Shishen listened, blushed, got up and said: "Master Zhang, the kid doesn't mean to offend, it's just that it involves the ancestral industry, and if you care about it, it's chaotic, so you lost your words, and please don't blame Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Yi listened, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Ancestral industry? If Zhang is not mistaken, hasn't Second Young Master Fan already split up? The Fan family's industry is now related to the second young master. ”

Fan Shishen said very earnestly: "Although my brother is not kind, the kid is a descendant of the Fan family, and he hopes that the ancestral property can be preserved." ”

Although this is a bit dull, his tenacity in the past few months has also made Zhang Yisheng a little admired.

"Our master left a message, if you really have weight and are worthy of the Fan family, the Fan family is naturally yours; If you can't support it, even if the Fan family doesn't return to the Cao family, it will go to another family. Zhang Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "You still have to do things well, don't let others provoke a few sentences, and you will be frizzy." Who is our master? The Qing Dynasty's super uncle, Heshuo forehead, and even the Ai family were supported by our father, and now they say that if they let go, they will still be rare for your Fan family? ”

There was a sentence, but Zhang Yi didn't say it.

Because the Ai family is in Macau, the whip is out of reach, which makes his uncle very annoyed; If even a small Fan family can't be subdued in the palm of his hand, then he Zhang Yi should really find a piece of tofu and kill him headlong in ......* Rehe, the summer resort.

The sixteenth elder brother dressed up in a new way, came down from the palace, and came to his biological mother and concubine to say goodbye.

Today is the sixteenth elder brother's birthday, he entered the house, honestly kowtowed to the princess three times, and said: "The birth of the son is the suffering of Eniang, and Eniang is tired." ”

When the princess heard this, her eyes were already red, she helped up the sixteenth elder brother, and said: "My son is one year older, and my mother doesn't look forward to my son's wealth and wealth, but only wishes my son peace and happiness." ”

Seeing his mother like this, the sixteenth elder brother was afraid that she would be sad when she thought of her younger brother who died young, so he diverged and said: "Every year, my mother has to cook longevity noodles for my son, but now my son has an empty stomach and has been waiting for it in the morning." ”

When the concubine saw that he was still like a naughty child, she finally showed her face and said, "How old are you, you are still like a child, and when you get to Eniang, you will have to eat." ”

Brother Sixteen smiled: "How old are they, they are all Eniang's little sixteen." Folk say that the girl is the mother's little padded jacket, although the son accidentally gave birth to a child, but he is willing to be the mother's cotton gloves and cotton ear bags. ”

Seeing that he was poor, the princess scolded with a smile and said, "Don't say that you don't need to fool Eniang, the longevity noodles have already been prepared for you." Knowing that you love to eat shrimp, let people peel half a catty of live shrimp early, so ask someone to give you the following. ”

One time less, the palace maid brought two bowls of boiled longevity noodles.

The snow-white noodles, green lettuce, pink shrimp, and oily poached eggs make you appetizing.

The sixteenth elder brother picked up a bowl and personally delivered it to the princess, and took the silver chopsticks from the palace maid and presented it.

Wang Concubine took it with a smile and said, "You can eat it too, the noodles won't taste good if they are lumped." ”

The mother and son were bowing their heads to eat noodles, and a waiter came to report that the fifteenth elder brother was here.

When the concubine heard this, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

When the sixteenth elder brother saw his mother's appearance as if he was to Dabin, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

At this time, the fifteenth elder brother had already followed the chamberlain in, flicked his sleeves, and asked the princess to say goodbye.

Wang Concubine squeezed out a little smile and said, "It's the fifteenth elder brother who is here, did you have breakfast?" There are noodles in the kitchen, do you want to take a bite? ”

The fifteenth elder brother glanced at the noodle bowl on the kang table and said, "My son has already had breakfast at Concubine De's place." ”

When the princess heard this, she sneered and said, "Is Concubine De okay?" I heard that she was uncomfortable these two days, and I should have gone over to say goodbye, but I heard that she had not seen a guest these days, so I didn't go over. ”

"Huang Ama has given medicine, and Concubine De has gradually improved, and she used two bowls of millet porridge in the morning." The fifteenth elder brother replied.

Wang Concubine listened with a smile, and the sixteenth elder brother couldn't listen to it, and said, "Is the fifteenth brother here to ask Eniang for peace, or is he here to look for me?" ”

"Fang just came out of Concubine De and met Brother Jiu. The ninth brother set up a banquet in the garden outside, and wanted to call the Qi brothers to celebrate the birthday of the sixteenth brother, and asked me to come to find the sixteenth brother. The fifteenth elder brother looked at the sixteenth elder brother, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

The sixteenth elder brother was angry, but he didn't want to quarrel with his brother in front of his mother, so he turned his head and said to the princess: "Eniang, even if the brothers bother, the son will go first." ”

When the concubine heard this, she said, "Your brothers, hurry over, don't make others wait for a long time." ”

The two brothers got up and answered, and came out of the princess's place.

"A mouthful of 'Mother De', do you have to be like this? I don't know, I thought that the fifteenth brother came out of the stomach over there. Thinking of his mother's gloom, the sixteenth elder brother stopped and said to the fifteenth elder brother.

The fifteenth elder brother lowered his face and snorted coldly: "Sixteenth brother, is this a lesson for me? ”

"Fifteenth brother, I just hope that fifteenth brother will be closer to Eniang. When the fifteenth brother was born, Eniang's status was low, and the fifteenth brother was taken to Yonghe Palace to be raised, and she was sad enough; Now that we are all older, and E-Niang is also old, does the fifteenth brother still want to make E-Niang sad? Brother Sixteen suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice.

"I made E-Niang sad?" The fifteenth elder brother glared and said angrily: "E-Niang has cooked longevity noodles for you for twenty-six years, can you cook them for me?" Although I am not from the mother of Germany, but I am also a grace! After speaking, he didn't look at the sixteenth elder brother, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.

Leaving the sixteenth elder brother, he was only stunned.

He really didn't expect that his brother was not only not close to his mother, but was still full of resentment......
