Cao Hao arrived at the yamen for a while, and he couldn't sit still, explained the errand in his hand, and hurried to the Tai Hospital. Just because he got a piece of news, there was a pox rash in the capital, and I heard that someone had already reported it from the Bujun Yamen.

Although chickenpox is not as scary as smallpox, not all children who are unfortunate enough to get sick can get better. When he learned from the mouth of the imperial doctor that the chickenpox infection was strong, the adult infection was nothing, and the children from two to fourteen years old were infected and there was a possibility of premature death, Cao Hao couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

A few days ago, he also mentioned to Chu Yu that his house is about to become a children's nest, and a place for children to play should be built.

Chu Yu just laughed, she didn't feel anything, every time she saw Cao Hao coaxing a child, she felt that her husband was also a child who hadn't grown up.

Cao Hao didn't know that his little wife had been overflowing with maternal love, and he was still recalling the toys that children liked in his previous life. Wooden horses, slides, etc., see what you can build in your own home.

It's just that because Chu Yu is pregnant, the house avoids opening the ground, even if he has this idea, he has to wait for Chu Yu to give birth.

In this Cao Mansion, there are many children from two years old to fourteen, two sisters, two Miss Wu'er, Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng brothers, Niu Niu, Tianyou, as well as Cao Xiang, Xiao Walnut or something.

After asking about the many matters that need to be paid attention to and prevented, Cao Hao rushed to the mansion in a hurry, and at the same time sent people to King Chun's Mansion, King Ping's Mansion, the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion and the Jueluo Family, Yongqing Family, Sun Family, etc., to send letters to them to take precautions and pay attention to them as soon as possible.

Hearing that there was a pox rash in the capital, Chu Yu and Amethyst were also frightened. It's just that after calming down, they are not as busy as Cao Hao.

There are many people living in the capital, and there are many people coming and going, and smallpox is easy to spread in winter and spring, and chickenpox is easy to spread in spring and summer, which is not a rare thing.

In every house, there is already a set of ways to avoid acne. For example, male dependents are not allowed to enter the second door.

The woman in the second gate has no chance to come out and contact outsiders. The only people who can bring the pox back home are men who go out a lot.

Although he was not worried about Chu Yu, Cao Hao also had to praise this method. At the Tai Hospital, he even asked carefully about the pregnant woman. Pregnant women infected with chickenpox are not dangerous, but they can pass it on to their children, which is easy to cause slippage.

Just in case, Cao Hao could only act cautiously. In addition to him, even the brothers Cao Song and Cao Shuo also moved to the front yard. Cao Xiang originally wanted to live in the front yard with his brothers, but Cao Hao left him in the inner courtyard because of his young age.

On Mr. Rongyuan's side, Aunt Lianqiu took Niuniu to live in Wutong Garden.

Zhao Jia's can't care about her own little abacus, she really has a pain in her skin for this acne. Her eldest daughter Cao Ying and her eldest son Cao Song are six years apart, because in it, a male fetus that has been formed once due to pox. Because of the injury to the body, it took several years of conditioning to have Cao Song.

Now, these children in this inner house, how can they not make people more cautious. Although the men took refuge outside the second gate, the servants and mothers-in-law who worked in the inner house needed to take strict precautions to save going outside and entering the house with pox.

Cao Hao's luggage was moved to the study in the front yard, while Cao Song and Cao Shuo lived in the guest room in the front yard.

Since the gentlemen live in the front yard, it is natural to arrange for the waiting people to come. By Chu Yu's side, Xiyun was inseparable, so he called Xicai and Xiyan to wait in the study.

On Cao Song's side, it was the jade dragon who came out with a little maid Lu'er; Cao Shuo is surrounded by the big girl who has been with him since childhood.

After the distribution of the manpower, the second door was sealed. Cao Hao's and his brothers' meals were all delivered through the door of the second gate.

Cao Shuo was originally a quiet surname, and he was not moved by external objects, even if he moved to the front yard to live, it was no different from before. Holding a book in his hand throughout the whole day, he studied hard.

He was also clever when he was a child, but when he grew up, he lost his childhood intelligence, and his knowledge was not as good as that of his two younger brothers. Even though I studied hard all night, the progress was slow.

With such a background, they don't have to take the test for any Rausch children. When he was a few years old, he donated the fame of the prison student and could directly participate in the township examination.

In Cao Shuo's heart, there is really no bottom. Although he sat with a book in the whole day, he didn't know what he was reading, and he really didn't have much confidence in the autumn exam in half a year.

He is only sixteen this year, and it is said that even if he fails the autumn exam, it is nothing, and he will take the exam again in three years. However, he is the elder brother and there are two more intelligent brothers below.

He is five years young, and he is far away in Jiangning, so he has no intention of entering Beijing, but the fourth brother Cao Xiang is fourteen years old and is ready to end this year.

Cao Shuo knew what his brother's knowledge was. You must know that when the two of them do their homework together, Cao Shuo asks his younger brother for advice.

As the days passed, Cao Shuo only felt that his hair was about to fall out, but there was nowhere to go.

Not to mention Cao Shuo's sorrow, Cao Song was so happy that he wanted to be happy.

In the past, when I wanted to go out, I had to report to my mother, but now I am really free. So, he pinched his fingers and counted the words, and really fulfilled the words of looking forward to the fifteenth day of the first month.

Han Jiang's side also got the news of Caofu, and knew that there was an epidemic of pox in the capital, and he rarely went out. During this period, Yang Ruixue sent two gifts.

Han Jiang didn't want to owe favors, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Yang Ruixue, so he prepared a return gift that was almost inseparable from the silver money.

She already regretted it in her heart, why did she tell her address truthfully when she met Yang Ruixue.

Han Jiang entered Beijing last summer, and he had heard about the Yang family and the Bai family in Bihelou in his early years. Although I don't know what the inside story is, Yang Ruixue did not keep filial piety for her husband, but married to the capital, which Han Jiang couldn't accept.

The two of them are not all the way, so naturally they don't talk for more than half a sentence, and don't go after a few greetings.

When it was okay, Han Jiang's family thought about all the people he had seen here in the Cao Mansion, Cao Hao was slippery and did not spare his hand, the county lord's wife was kind and dignified, Amethyst was smart and gentle, and the housekeeper Cao Fang was not so much a subordinate as an authentic businessman.

For Cao Fang, Han Jiang's family knew that he was one of the most decent housekeepers of the Cao family, and he took care of the property under the Cao family's name as early as when he was in Jiangning.

Since Cao Fu sent such a person to take care of things, he thought that he would also buy this dim sum shop as a big industry.

Thinking of this, Han Jiang's heart became more and more convinced, this must be a good deal to make money.

"Daoxiang Village?" Han Jiang recited the name that Cao Hao had mentioned, and he was a little unconvinced. Why did Cao Hao look at it inadvertently, but he could casually say such an atmospheric shop name?

She gave a lot of names and signboards in her heart, and she had to admit that it was Cao Hao's proposal that was more atmospheric.

Are men inherently better than women? Han Jiang couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly warned himself not to think nonsense, there are more good women in this world, but their reputation is not obvious.

* Southeast of Xicheng, Rongxian Hutong, Dong E Mansion, Inner Courtyard Main Hall.

Jue Luo sat on the chair with a frosty face, looking at Kali speechless. Kali was stared at uncomfortably, moved his body, and asked, "Eniang, you have sent your son and daughter-in-law to you, but what do you need to command?" ”

Jue Luo snorted coldly and said, "Do you still have my old woman in your eyes?" Which one is the one who instructs someone to come to the old house and rummage through the title deed? ”

Kali glanced at his wife, saw her sneering, knew what to expect, and said stubbornly: "Eniang, the family is really tight, and the younger brothers and nephews need silver to call for shortcomings!" ”

Jue Luo sat in the hall, and he couldn't see the expressions of their husband and wife clearly. Originally, I hoped that my son would understand and teach his daughter-in-law a good lesson, so as to save her from bothering as an old woman. I didn't expect him to distinguish between right and wrong, and protect his daughter-in-law like this.

Jue Luo laughed angrily and said, "Lack of silver? The title deed is Jinghui's mother to marry our family's Xitian, and she wants to marry Jinghui, how can you, who is an uncle, pull this face? ”

Kali was also a little discouraged, without the respect of Pingshu, and said with a little helplessness: "Eniang, Jinghui is also a member of Dong E's family, my younger brother and nephews have made a shortcoming, and if they support the door, Jinghui can also say that she is a good family!" ”

It's okay that Kali didn't say this, but when he talked about this, Jue Luo became more and more annoyed, and said angrily: "You still have the face to say this, first the Li family in Suzhou, and then the Fuguo Mansion, what do you think of your niece?" Jinghui is a good girl, what does it look like outside, do you still have the face to say that you want to tell her a good family? ”

Speaking of this, she pointed to her daughter-in-law again and said: "The old body is not blind or deaf, the old body knows that it was you who asked someone to turn over the old body's house." Others don't say it, but now the old man knows that my granddaughter has been wronged. The boxes, utensils, and boxes left by her mother are all booklets, and the ones you put away will be returned as soon as possible. To do this as an elder, the old body can be regarded as an eye-opener. In the future, I don't dare to expect uncles and aunts like you anymore, or the old man will take care of Jinghui! ”

Kali's wife is also from the clan, and she is still a yellow belt, which is more noble than her mother-in-law's background.

This time, because of the loss, she endured it for a long time without squeaking, and let the old lady preach. However, when she heard that the old lady was chasing Jinghui and her mother's dowry, she was a little panicked, and whispered: "Eniang, you also know that the family has not made any money in the past few years, and it is said that the child is tight......"

Jue Luo looked at the newly cut spring shirt on his daughter-in-law, the beaded flowers and gems on his head, and then thought about the old clothes on his granddaughter, the old man was too lazy to speak.

She waved her hand and said, "Don't tell the old body about this, this is a family, because it is because of your decent old body that I can talk to you well." If you still want to fool the past, then ask Jinghui's uncles to judge it. ”

Kali's wife was about to say more, but Kali pulled her sleeve and stopped talking.

Kali raised his head, looked at Jue Luo and said, "E-Niang, if there is a chance now, my son can recover, and I need the Xitian left by my younger siblings, can E-Niang temporarily borrow it from my son?" ”

Jue Luo frowned and said: "Everything in this world has a master, this Xitian was originally your brother's daughter-in-law's marriage, but now although their husband and wife are gone, there is Jinghui, which is naturally left to Jinghui." Even if I am an old man, I am just a temporary custodian, how can I make decisions for my granddaughter! ”

When Kali saw that his mother-in-law was right, he also felt extremely depressed in his heart. The face of the Kali wife had already drooped, and she forced herself not to express the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Jue Luo said everything that should be said, and his heart was also very heavy.

Now, although the son is dismissed at home, he is safe and healthy, and there is nothing to worry about, anyway, Kali is also in the twilight of his life. Instead of going back and forth bitterly, it's better to be a happy old man.

What she is worried about is still her granddaughter's family.

Although the matter of being engaged to the Li family is not far away, the matter of the dumb son of the Fuguo Mansion a few days ago has made a lot of noise and has been well known.

Jinghui is seventeen years old, although she is not very old, but she is not too young. If you can't find a suitable one, it will drag on for two years, and all men of the same age will marry wives and have children, and Jinghui's family affairs will be more and more unsettled.

Her granddaughter, who has a thin relationship with her parents, is a well-known honest surname, if she marries inappropriately and is bullied by others, it is better to be an old girl, at least she can have the final say.

Jinghui didn't know that her grandmother was arguing with her uncle and aunt for her own sake, she was still busy with needlework, but this time she was embroidering the belly pocket of a boy holding a lotus.

A few days ago, I followed my grandmother to the incense, and she heard that Chu Yu was pregnant again, so she thought about doing a set of embroidery to congratulate her.

When Kali and his wife came out of Kyaw Luo's house, their faces were not good-looking. Although Kali wanted to reprimand his wife for two sentences, he shouldn't go to Jing Hui's mother's idea, but thinking that she was also for this family, he sighed and didn't respond.

His wife was a little anxious, and said to Kali very worriedly, "Master, what can I do about this?" The third brother and sister have passed away all these years, where are they still looking for those things? The old lady's temper is the same, if the third brother and sister's family are really involved, I am afraid that the lawsuit will fall on me! Always, there's always a way to do it......"
