Because he didn't know the details, Cao Hao didn't know what to say to his father-in-law, but on the way back, he still asked Hongshu about the reason for the change in Hongzhuo's surname.

Hongshu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did my brother-in-law offend Uncle Fourteen somewhere?" ”

"Fourteenth Master?" Cao Hao was a little puzzled, and then remembered that the fourteenth elder brother had not yet divided the mansion, lived in the palace, and had always been close to the little elder brothers in the study, and some understood: "Did the fourteenth elder say it?" ”

Hongshu nodded and replied: "Listening to Uncle Fourteen's words, it seems that I have a deep prejudice against my brother-in-law, I only think that my brother-in-law surrounded the Tenth Uncle's Mansion the year before last and offended those uncles." Since last year, I have been working as an errand in the ministry, not going to the study, and I am not separated from my two younger brothers like in the past. I just heard that the two of them followed a few elder brothers of the third uncle's family and often went to the fourteenth uncle's yard to play. I don't know when the second brother said something about my brother-in-law, and I retorted a few words, and he said that I was fooled by my brother-in-law. Later, there were some things at home, and he didn't even want to see my brother anymore! "At the end of the day, it's very depressing.

Hongzhuo was fourteen years old, and it was the period of rebellion. When Cao Hao heard that he was close to the fourteenth elder brother, he was a little worried, but he was a little annoyed. This stinky kid has been good to him in the past, can it be that others have no position after a few words?

It can't go on like this, the reason why the Chunjun Wangfu can live a clean life is because the Chunjun King has no other thoughts, and he and those brothers who participated in the succession are all avoided.

Cao Hao thought about it for a while, and said to Hongshu: "After two days, let's talk to Hongzhuo." Whether there is a misunderstanding or a genuine dissatisfaction, you can't keep going like this. ”

Hongshu was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, do you believe in my character?" If someone tells you, how can I do bad things, do you believe it or not? ”

Cao Hao turned his head sideways, looked at Hongshu, and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, don't I still want to see you?" Your brother-in-law and I are lazy, impatient to bother with myself. I'm going to ask you, how the hell, did you do something bad? Whether you say yes or no, I believe it, because I know you won't lie to me. ”

Hongshu was stunned, speechless for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly on his face: "How many people like my brother-in-law are there?" Some individuals do not believe in their own ears. ”

Seeing that he was a little lonely, Cao Hao couldn't help frowning and said, "Are you a child?" I'm still struggling with these all day! A dignified man, standing up to the sky, is he living for the face of others? Believe it or not, what about you? The important thing depends on what you care about, that is, the second brother, if you still care about brotherhood, look for him to make it clear and explain. If he doesn't understand, think of a way to make him understand. You compatriots curse your siblings, who in this world can kiss you? If the second brother is confused, he can persuade him, but he can't be persuaded if he can, and he will be beaten awake! Even if you are a brother, you can act simply! Do you want to be a little bit of yourself to understand that you are wronged here and wronged, and you are not tired of being crooked? ”

Hongshu has heard all he has heard since he was a child, "brothers, friends, brothers", where have you heard such words? He looked at Cao Hao, who was a little weak, and asked with some hesitation: "Brother-in-law, Su Yue is also like this to his brother?" ”

In a word, Cao Hao was speechless when asked. Whether it is Cao Song, Cao Shuo, Cao Xiang and a few of them, they can be regarded as Cao Hao who grew up. In terms of blood and reputation, they are Cao Hao's brothers; But in his heart, he still treats them as nephews in his later life.

Thinking about it now, if Cao Song really made a mistake, there was nothing he couldn't do.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Hongshu and said, "Cao Song dares to be so rude in front of me?" There is still something wrong with you as an elder brother, the surname is too soft. It's good to be gentle with others, but sometimes you need to be harsh, or let the little ones go against the sky? Father-in-law will eventually grow old, and it will not be your brothers who support each other in the future! ”

Hongshu knew that his brother-in-law was saying good things, so he was not angry with his accusations, but instead gave birth to a little gratitude, and said: "It would be good if my brother-in-law was my brother!" ”

Cao Hao listened to this childish words, looked at Hongshu's haggardness, and felt a little distressed. He was only a sixteen or seventeen child, and the pressure of the eldest son of the royal palace also made it difficult for him.

While talking, the group had already arrived at the alley on the side of Caofu, and happened to see someone beating Caofu and coming out. It was none other than Nalan Fusen, the first-class guard of the Imperial Palace.

He wore his usual clothes and rode on horseback, with only one of his elders riding with him. Seeing Cao Hao come back, Nalan Fusen's face added a slight smile.

Because he was on an errand in front of the emperor, Nalan Fusen also saw Hongshu, the eldest brother of the Chunjun Palace, and immediately turned over and dismounted, and said a thousand to Hongshu: "Big brother is auspicious!" ”

Hongshu grabbed the reins of the horse and nodded in return.

Cao Hao turned over and dismounted, and asked with a smile: "Brother Fusen, did you just beat the younger brother's house?" Yesterday, it was really inconvenient to speak, and I wanted to wait for Brother Fusen to eat and drink together when he was resting. ”

Nalan Fusen said: "I just came back from the garden, and if Infu comes back, Xincheng is going to start working on an errand again, so I want to get together with your cousins, and I will give you a welcome breeze and congratulate Xincheng!" ”

Hearing the mention of Li Ding, Cao Hao felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that because of the relationship between the two families, they could not avoid each other. To tell the truth, he wanted to find Li Ding and ask him what he wanted. After all, in the eyes of people in the capital, the Cao and Li families are close relatives and inseparable.

Thinking like this, Cao Hao responded and asked Nalan Fusen where to eat. Nalan Fusen said with a smile: "Recently, there are many eunuchs in Beijing, and I don't know if the few we often go to can still book a table." No matter where you are, if you spare your afternoon work, I will send a boy to invite you at that time. ”

Cao Hao nodded and said yes, and asked Nalan Fusen to turn around and go into the house to drink tea. Nalan Fusen looked at the carriage in front of him and waved his hand to Cao Hao: "It's just to find you to say this, now that I see you, it's okay, and I have to go to Li's house." After speaking, say goodbye to Cao Hao and Hongshu.

Hearing Nalan Fusen say this, Cao Hao didn't leave him, arched his hand, watched him ride away, and then got on the horse again.

Hongshu was a little puzzled when he saw that Nalan Fusen and Cao Hao were so close, and asked, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that you didn't work as an errand in front of the emperor for a few months, and then you were a companion to Uncle Sixteen?" How can you be so friendly with the Nalan guards? Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "Everyone outside says that Yu Xu is the eighth uncle's person, and Nalan Guard is his own nephew, why doesn't my brother-in-law avoid it?" ”

Cao Hao was the first time he heard Hongshu's words of "avoidance" and "avoidance", and he was a little caught off guard, looking at Hongshu, and didn't know how to answer him for a while.

Seeing Cao Hao's expression, Hongshu said with a hint of pride: "What my brother-in-law taught in the past, to put it mildly, is just to tell our brothers to 'protect themselves', and not to have anything to do with those uncles who have taken the heirs." ”

It's rare that he is in a better mood, Cao Hao can't bear to splash him with cold water, and nodded in response: "That's true, you can think of this, it seems that this year's errand has not been in vain!" ”

Hongshu was a little unconvinced, looked at Cao Hao and said: "After all, my brother-in-law is not a few years older than me, and he is pretending to be a little old man all day, be careful that my sister dislikes you!" ”

Seeing him mention Chu Yu, Cao Hao's heart immediately warmed, he glanced back at his wife's carriage, turned his head, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, whether I am pretending to be an old man or really becoming an old man, your sister will not suspect me!" ”

Seeing his undisguised smile, Hongshu smiled and didn't say anything more.

When he arrived at Cao's Mansion, Hongshu did not enter the mansion, and after seeing Chu Yu enter, he wanted to take people back to the palace directly. Before leaving, he was a little uneasy, called Cao Hao aside, and asked Cao Hao with some trepidation: "Brother-in-law, what if Hongzhuo fights back?" ”

Cao Hao saw the faint joy in his eyes, and it seemed that he was also angry with his younger brother and held back his anger for a long time. After a little thought, he replied: "You are three years older than him, if you can't even beat a half-grown child, then you can find a piece of tofu and kill you." You can do it, but you have to keep a few things in mind. ”

"Well, brother-in-law said, I'll listen!" Hongshu nodded busily, with a begging look on his face.

Cao Hao stretched out his fingers and counted the taboos for him: "After all, it is a private matter between brothers, don't make trouble, you have to find a place where no one is, and no one can say anything after that." It's like singing a big show, which makes people watch the excitement in vain, and it's not good to hear it. ”

Hongshu nodded in response and continued to look at Cao Hao.

"Remember, you can't hit the face, you have to pick a thick place where the flesh hurts, and you can't look black. Even if Hongzhuo is really dishonest and wants to sue later, you can't leave him with drama. Cao Hao said in his mouth, but he was reflecting in his heart, is he too evil, how can this teenage child say that he can beat him?

However, he thought about it instead, the two children, Hongshu and Hongzhuo, were a little restrained and couldn't let go. The two brothers have been inseparable from each other, and now they are so estranged, and I think it is also because of the lack of sameness.

The boy has rough skin and thick meat, and when he fights, his heart is happy, what can't he say?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued: "You can't fight, you are an elder brother, and you can tell your younger brother what you think in your heart." If the boy is not convinced, beat him until he is convinced. ”

Hongshu clenched his fists, his eyes were bright, and he said nostalgically: "Speaking of which, I haven't fought with my second brother for seven or eight years. ”

Cao Hao patted Hongshu's shoulder and said with a smile: "I won't grind anything else, he is still young in the end, after the fight, don't forget to coax well." If there is anything he likes, he will buy it for him, is it my brother! If you don't have enough money, tell your brother-in-law. ”

Although he thought he was very sincere, Hongshu's expression was a little strange, and when he got on the horse and was about to leave, he said to Cao Hao without a head: "Brother-in-law, I can't offend you in the future!" ”

Cao Hao was thinking about where this sentence came from, Hongshu had already urged the horse forward, and he didn't forget to turn around, and shouted to Cao Hao with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I understand, I will learn from my brother-in-law in the future, and I will not suffer a loss!" ”

Seeing that his brother-in-law was cheap and behaved, Cao Hao stood in front of the gate and touched his chin, is this considered "close to Zhu Zhechi"? It seems that this brother-in-law has a lot of potential.

In any case, there is finally less worry about a few brothers-in-law. When Cao Hao turned around and went back to the house, he felt a sense of accomplishment and asked the housekeeper that his father and mother had returned home.

When Cao Hao arrived at the study, Cao Yin was standing with his back to the door and his hands behind his back, not knowing what was looking out of the window.

It was already sunset, and the room was a little dim, Cao Yin stood there, straight and thin, for some reason, which made people feel the vicissitudes of life.

Cao Hao's footsteps stopped, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Looking at his father, who was already old, he couldn't help but straighten his chest, he couldn't be lazy in the future, and he couldn't hide under his father's wing.

After a long time, I heard Cao Yin sigh and turn his head. Seeing Cao Hao standing at the door, he was slightly stunned, and then said, "You just came back from the palace?" Is the Seventh Master okay over there? ”

"My father-in-law is fine, but I have to be busy for a while on Hallomy Day, and I went to the Ministry of Rites after dinner. The father-in-law asked his son to bring it to his father, saying that he was busy with Halloween and invited his father and mother to eat and drink! Cao Hao entered the study and replied to his father with a smile.

Cao Yin touched his beard and said, "Jiazi Shengshou, there is no precedent to follow in this dynasty, and I think I am busy with it!" Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Cao Hao's eyes, and asked Cao Dao: "Yesterday, my father asked you, have you figured it out?" ”

Cao Hao only felt that his head weighed tens of millions of pounds, and his body was stiff. He nodded slowly and said, "My son has figured it out,...... Son...... No ambitions...... I don't want to be heard in the world, and I can't take on the responsibility of helping the world and saving the people, but I want to be happy with my parents and keep my family healthy......"
