On November 18, the holy driver patrolled outside the Saiwai, and ordered the 10th elder brother, 12th elder brother, 15th elder brother, 16th elder brother, and 17th elder brother to accompany him, which was said to start from Changchun Garden.

At the same time, Prince Yaerjianga of Heshuo Jian was appointed as the president of the compilation and repair of jade, and Xiao Yongzao, Wang Luo, a bachelor of the Cabinet University, and Jing Shan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, were appointed as vice presidents.

Jade is the royal family tree of Aixinjue Luo, since the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the jade is compiled and repaired every ten years.

In fact, every subsequent revision will take into account the year of the previous revision. As a result, in fact, each revision is reduced by one year, with only nine years apart.

This matter of the People's Mansion and the Ministry of Rites, Cao Hao has heard about it.

On the side of Taifu Temple, Yiduli went out of the mouth in mid-October and has not yet returned to Beijing.

Cao Hao thought in his heart that if it was smooth sailing from Jiangning, his parents would also go to the capital, so he really didn't want to go on a business trip.

Wang Jing went to Rehe in June to change Cao Hao, and then followed the saint to Mongolia, which can be regarded as showing his face in front of Kangxi. He had a careful thought, so he told Cao Hao in advance, and the Tao was thinking that the Cao family's parents would go to Beijing, and this time he went out of Beijing on an errand.

It's really a happy favor, Cao Hao has nothing to say.

Cao Yin's entry into Beijing as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites was reported to the world by the imperial court, and Tang Zhiyu also knew that his family was preparing for a happy event and was very busy. Therefore, on the Yamen side, he did his best to do as much as he could, and tried his best to let Cao Hao finish his errands earlier every day.

Cao Hao saw it in his eyes, and he was very grateful. Although he didn't say anything, he kept these feelings in his heart.

On the second side, it's too peaceful.

Fortunately, Cao Song transferred to the guard, and this time he didn't need to follow him, and Ping Suli was on duty at Changchun Garden.

Cao Xiang wants to go to Guozijian to study, only Cao Shuo is left in the house, he will not go to the Eight Banners School until the New Year, and now he is idle. Therefore, he followed the housekeeper to prepare his family affairs with Cao Song, and he knew a lot of livelihood matters.

Each stone of rice is 800 wen, and corn is 640 wen, and now the money is expensive, and 800 money is one tael of silver.

On the side of clothing, in addition to the yuan satin and Lu silk are more expensive, they cost three or four taels of silver, and the other silk, silk, and silk are between one or two taels of silver and two taels of silver.

Since it is a family affair between the two brothers, there are many things that need to be purchased, and the money is spent as if it is flowing water.

Cao Shuo was in the school in his early years, and he also learned mathematics, and he could understand some superficial accounts.

He felt that if he continued like this, he would not be able to make ends meet. Although there are two Zhuangzi in the family, there can be some income every year, but if this family affair is too expensive, then it will be tight in the future.

After all, there are four younger siblings in the family, and they will also need a place with useful money in the future.

In the early years, when the old lady took his last breath, he was already seven years old, and he also had some impressions in a trance, knowing that his grandmother had left money for the wedding. However, there was no Aunt Lu at that time, and his mother was not pregnant with a fourth sister, which he remembered.

He thought of several ways to be frugal, and wanted to talk to his mother about it, so that he would not have a difficult life at home in the future.

Zhao Jiashi saw his second son, and before he could speak, he began to nag. Although I know that this son is a little stupid, isn't there a saying that "stupid birds fly first"?

It turned out that Zhao Jia's family rarely asked about their sons' homework, but now they were stimulated, and when they saw Cao Shuo, they wanted to ask about it. Even if she can't read a lot of words, she still has to listen to Cao Shuo go back to the first few volumes of which book.

Cao Shuo was asked in a cold sweat, his hands and feet were cold, where did he still have the heart to tell his mother how to throttle?

Don't blame Zhaojia's uncomfortable, I didn't care too much about the family affairs of my two sons before, and I didn't care too much about anything else. When the family affairs were finalized, after relatives and friends always mentioned the concubine Cao Xiang, her heart was very wrong.

If it weren't for Cao Shuo's temporary physical discomfort, where would Cao Xiang get this good reputation?

can get the appreciation of the examiner and be a student, isn't this all taking up the light of my brother?

It would be good to say that both brothers would enter the national prison, but only one was recommended, so they were divided into low and high, didn't they instigate discord between the brothers?

Whenever he thought of this, Zhao Jiashi recited the troubled examiner several times in his heart. The only thing that is good is that the school does not talk about the food, and it also subsidizes one or two silver dollars every month.

Cao Song has a knight, and now he is on an errand, needless to say, he has Yulu. Cao Shuo is sixteen this year, and he is also considered to be a ding, and he reports to the Eight Banners Leader, and he has two taels of silver per month.

Although it is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, she is also chewy enough, and she no longer worries about money...... The weather is getting colder, and the northwest wind is gradually blowing, and the leaves on the street are almost falling, showing a bit of depression.

It has snowed several times, and Chu Yu has already asked someone to find a big woolen clothes to come out and change them for Cao Hao. Cao Hao saw that the weather was getting colder and colder, and he was a little relieved when his parents arrived in Beijing.

The weather is so cold, the canal has frozen, and you have to change carriages on the way, after all, those who go north, the old and the small, if you are not used to the cold winter, you will be sick again.

As early as when Cao Fang went south, Cao Hao specially instructed that when he was about to enter Beijing, he would send someone to Beijing three or two days in advance to deliver a letter. In this way, Cao Hao can also go out of Beijing to greet him.

On October 18, he set off for Jiangning, and it has been a month now, how can Cao Hao not be anxious? I'm really looking forward to the day when my family will be reunited.

The Cao family in Jiangnan has become a thing of the past.

Not only Cao Hao is anxious, but even the relatives and friends of the Cao family in Beijing are also counted as the sons of Cao Yin and his wife entering Beijing.

The father and son of the Cao family, not to mention that they are officials in the same dynasty, they are both officials, which can be regarded as prominent. Whether it is far or near, the Cao family is three points warmer than the original.

Cao Hao is nothing but the glory of his father and ancestors, a young man who is favored by the emperor; Cao Yin is different, he is a real emperor's henchman and former minister.

Between father and son, the weight cannot be said in the same way.

Cao Hao entered Beijing for seven or eight years, and gradually rose to a high position, because he was accustomed to seeing the flattery of others. Although he knows that he just takes advantage of his identity, and he is also very humble on his face, he is somewhat arrogant in his bones.

Sometimes, when the court tilts over the exchanges between the powerful, he only looks at it coldly and treats it as a joke.

Now, his father is about to enter Beijing, and after seeing the enthusiasm of others, he knows that he has lived a comfortable life, and he is a little superficial. Although he is young and ranks in the third rank, he is also considered a high position, but in the eyes of those powerful people, it is nothing.

If nothing else, let's just say that there are many second-class guards or even first-class guards in their twenties, and their grades are not much worse than Cao Hao's current level.

Cao Hao doesn't care too much about this fame and fortune, so there is nothing unfair about others looking up to Cao Yin.

For those uncles and uncles who suddenly appeared, regardless of their rank in the court, Cao Hao was also respectful, courteous, and did not lose proportion.

Those old men thought that Cao Hao was young and married to the royal county lord, and he was in a high position, and he was a young and arrogant person, but they didn't expect him to be so humble.

After this surprise, these old people had to sigh in their hearts: "Dongting has a son like this, and the Cao family has a successor!" ”

It's just a personal relationship, Cao Hao not only lamented that his father was well-connected and had many acquaintances, but also felt a little strange in his heart.

You must know that in the early years, when Cao Yin was in the capital, he also took him to various families for entertainment, why did many "world friends" not see him at that time?

Because of this doubt, he also consulted Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang said: "What else can it be? In the past, it was said that the old man was an official in Jiangnan, no matter how prominent he was, what did he have to do with these people in Beijing? Since ancient times, only foreign officials have won over Beijing officials, where are there Beijing officials who have won over foreign officials? Coupled with the poverty of Beijing officials, it is not easy to cope with the entertainment in the capital, where can I take care of the old friends who have left Beijing? Although the boss treats people gently, he is a proud person, and when he sees that the other party has broken off contact, he will not take the initiative to come to the door to socialize. After coming and going, it is also possible to break off friendship. Now that the boss has entered Beijing, the Cao family is going to take root in the capital, and your father and son are both prominent, so those people will naturally start anew. ”

It's just the normal feelings of the world, Cao Hao listened to it and laughed.

This favor is just a face-saving favor, so let's wait for my father to come.

In the blink of an eye, it's November 23.

In the newspaper of the imperial court at that time, Cao Hao saw a news, "Yandao in the east of Shandong is short, and the affairs of the prefectures and counties to which it belongs are under the management of Yanzhou, Dongchang, and the two prefectures."

Cao Hao had heard the news about the "shortage of Yandao in the east of Shandong" before, and at that time he thought that it would be a change in the local administrative area, and it would not take two or three years, but he didn't expect the court to do it quickly.

Cao Hao's official in Shandong is said to be counted as 800 years, but it is only more than a year, but the foreign appointment is different from that in Beijing.

Looking back now, the life over there is really worry-free, and the officialdom that needs to be dealt with is much less than that in the capital.

After finishing the official documents on the case, Cao Hao got up and stretched his waist, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was not yet time. He thought the room was stuffy, so he picked up the curtain and went out, looking up at the sky.

Maybe it's because of the cloudy day, but it looks a little dark outside, and it seems that there will be heavy snow in the next two days.

Cao Hao couldn't help frowning, if the snow blocked the trip, his parents would be delayed on the road, and they would enter the wax moon in a few days, and blame him.

Knowing this, we should have persuaded them to enter Beijing again in the spring of next year.

Tang Zhiyu just hugged the official document and came over to look for Cao Hao, seeing that he looked up at the sky with a worried face, he also stood aside and looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, adults, this kind of cloud is thin, even if there is snow, it is still light snow, and it will be sunny sooner." ”

"So good." Cao Hao nodded and said, "After all, my father and mother are old, and I am really a little relieved that I can't rest assured that I have traveled thousands of miles to the north. ”

"This hasn't entered the wax moon yet, it's more or less better. I'm afraid that Lord Tang will not be able to return to Beijing until Layue. Tang Zhiyu said.

"Yes, he hasn't been on a business trip all these years, and he is used to raising wealth in Beijing, but when he comes back this time, he doesn't know how to complain." Cao Hao said with a smile.

Cao Hao saw the official document in Tang Zhiyu's hand, and was about to beckon him into the house, when he saw Xiao Man running over quickly, panting and saying: "Uncle, the little father sent a letter here, the master has left Beijing for 100 miles, and Ming'er will be able to go to Tongzhou!" ”

Rao is Cao Hao is calm and calm, and now he can't help but show a happy look, clenching his fists, and his heart is very excited.

"Congratulations, my lord, the reunion of father and son is imminent!" Tang Zhiyu was listening, and he was also happy for Cao Hao.

Joy is joy, Cao Hao glanced at the official document in Tang Zhiyu's hand, and he didn't want to abolish the public because of personal gain.

He thought about it for a while, and instructed Xiaoman: "Go back to the house quickly and tell the news to the eldest grandmother." Let's just say that I will take care of the official affairs of the yamen first, and then go directly out of the city to Tongzhou for a while......" Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "Let the eldest grandmother also prepare, prepare a warm and spacious carriage, and say that I will take her with me." ”

Although it has not yet reached the wax moon, the weather is not warm, so Cao Hao originally planned to go out to greet him. But thinking that Chu Yu had been chattering for a long time, and kept saying that he wanted to go with him, Cao Hao changed his mind.

In addition to wanting to make a good impression in front of her parents-in-law, Chu Yu also thinks about her son Tianyou.

For a mother, it is nothing to see her son a day earlier, even if she travels dozens of miles by car.

Tang Zhiyu was still thinking about whether to persuade Cao Hao to go back first, after all, there was no important official document in front of him, Cao Hao had already reached out and took those from his arms, and said: "It's okay in a while, tomorrow in the yamen, but I will have to bother Lord Tang more!" ”

Although he was anxious, Cao Hao didn't dare to be sloppy, after all, he needed to sign and seal.

It took almost half an hour to deal with it properly, Cao Hao couldn't sit still, greeted Tang Zhiyu, and went out of the yamen first.

As soon as he got out of the Xidan archway, he saw his own carriage coming, and the smile on Cao Hao's face grew......*
