After sending off the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao did not go back to the inner house directly, but went to Qian Chen Qun in the guest house.

As Cao Hao expected, Qian Chenqun was already in a hurry, and when he saw that Cao Hao took the initiative to see him, he mentioned the matter of resignation.

Cao Hao felt a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that even if he is not at home, there is still his father, why this money nerd doesn't know how to be transparent.

"It was Cao's negligence that delayed Mr. Qian. Mr. is not only studying in Beijing to prepare for the exam, but also needs a secluded place. Cao's garden in Haidian is idle, if Mr. Qian does not dislike the simple, he can go over to study. Cao Hao thought for a while and said: "Although there are fellow villagers in the city's guild hall in the same year, Mr. is not a person who likes to socialize, but spares Qingjing. ”

Although he knew that this Qian Chen Qun had some real talent, Cao Hao did not say anything to save him. If the other party wants to take the exam next year, he can't say that he can't come back if he can't pass the exam, it's too unlucky to say that.

In addition to the houses in the city, the Cao family has two houses outside the city, one in Haidian and one in Changping.

Changping Hot Spring Zhuangzi, Cao Hao still thought about letting his parents go to the hot springs in the winter, so naturally he would not use it for favors. If this money Chen Qun is from the Cao family's resignation, he will have to move out of the house, otherwise the name will not be right.

The garden of Caojia Haidian was lived by Qian Chenqun in the early summer. Now listening to Cao Hao's frank words, he hesitated for a moment, but he didn't want to say anything more, and bowed down to thank him.

Fortunately, he stood up after the age of the year, and he also knew the sophistication of the people, and he knew that Cao Hao had only come back, and it took effort to find a suitable Xixi, so he set the day of departure at the end of the month.

Cao Hao understood in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Qian Chenqun more. has true knowledge, does not climb the wealth, and does not fake the high level, this rich master may have a great future in the future.

Thinking like this, there was no change on his face, and he said a few words to Qian Chenqun, asked someone to send the Tuyi brought back from Henan, and left.

Qian Chenqun sent Cao Hao to the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw that he was far away, he turned around and went back to the house.

The reputation of the Cao family is not good, and it was a little unbearable in the early years, and there are fewer people outside in recent years. Rao is like this, when the Cao family's father and son are mentioned outside, they are just a sentence of "slaves of the Son of Heaven".

Qian Chenqun has been to Cao's house for two years, but what he sees in his eyes is another scene, which shows that there are many forces in the world, either jealous or sycophant, and they can't see real gold.

After he returned to the bookcase, thinking about it, he was also distracted, and he didn't know where the proprietor Cao Hao could go...... * Lanyuan and went to the room.

Since Cao Yin was raised, he cleaned up an inner study in the west room of the upper room, and taught his grandchildren to practice big characters or something here.

When Cao Hao came, Cao Yin sat cross-legged on the kang, took a book, and told Tianyou and Hengsheng about the ancients, which seemed quite gratifying. He was wearing half-worn homely clothes, guarding two children, like an old Confucian. Tianyou and Hengsheng were on their grandfather's knees, listening to them with a good taste.

Cao Hao stood at the door, seeing this situation, and thinking of what the husband and wife said yesterday, God bless like grandfather. 's father was not a few years older than Tianyou, so he entered the palace as a companion. If it is not the responsibility of the family, but the career of the imperial examination, even if it is not prominent now, it is the life that my father really wants.

Live in the moment, who can do what you want.

"Why are you standing here and haven't had dinner yet? It's getting dark. Li Shi saw his son standing at the door of the small study and asked.

The grandparents and grandchildren in the house listened to the movement and looked at the door, only to find Cao Hao.

Tianyou and Hengsheng hurriedly stood up straight and saw their father. Cao Yin put down the book in his hand and asked, "Sixteen elder brothers are gone?" ”

"Well, I wanted to keep him for dinner, but he was about to fall into the palace gate, so he went back first." Cao Hao replied.

Cao Hao's side has something to say to his father.

The sixteenth elder brother came over, in addition to listening to Cao Hao's "tobacco" plan, he also told Cao Hao one thing, that is, the holy car delayed his return to Beijing.

The first day of October every year is the time to promulgate the calendar of the following year, and the third day of October is the Holy Birthday Day of the Queen Mother. Therefore, the holy car returns to Beijing at the end of September every year.

Jinshang is already over the age of sixteen, and his health has not been very good in recent years, so this delay in returning to Beijing has naturally caused speculation from all sides. I don't know if it will change, otherwise why would the emperor order so many elder brothers this year.

The few who stayed in the capital, although they were adults, were also considered little brothers, and they had no power in their hands. Even if you have a bad mind, you don't have that potential.

Besides, there are lessons from the eldest brother, the second elder brother, and the eighth elder brother there, who dares to act rashly.

Kangxi has been an emperor for more than 50 years, and he has no relatives in power, and the most defensive in his heart is his sons. Thinking about it, these princes also know it in their hearts, and they feel a lot of it, and they don't dare to dazzle their eyes at this time.

I heard that the thirteenth elder brother had already gone to Tangquan Zhuangzi with his dependents, and the fourteenth elder brother also restrained a lot, waiting for the movement of Rehe, and did not dare to arbitrarily win over people.

Cao Hao's side is not afraid of Kangxi's problems, but he is worried about the Queen Mother. Fang Chonggong is now serving in Rehe and is the imperial doctor next to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother has a mistake, I am afraid that he will be implicated.

Cao Hao has seen the Queen Mother a few times, but he only thinks that she is a rich and graceful Mongolian old lady. But because she has taken care of the Li family in recent years, she can't be regarded as unrelated to the Cao family. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Li sews two sets of clothes for her every year, which is regarded as filial piety to her parents.

Cao Hao didn't ask his mother if he knew her life experience. However, Wen Taijun's surname is cold, and it is true that he treats the Li family unkindly.

After returning to Wutong Garden for dinner, Cao Hao came to Lanyuan again and told the sixteenth elder brother what he said.

Hearing the mention of Kangxi's health, Cao Yin's face was a little heavy, and he lowered his voice and said to Cao Hao: "In May, the emperor had a stroke, and Fang Chonggong went to Rehe, called the queen mother to see a doctor, which was really an acupuncture for the emperor." ”

Cao Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

For the "stroke", he has the impression that his mouth is slanted and his eyes are crooked, and he is half paralyzed.

Kangxi has always been very majestic in front of his courtiers, and I can't imagine what his "stroke" will look like.

"There was no news outside, I thought the symptoms were mild, but I didn't expect to delay my return to Beijing. No one knows what the Eucharist is, which is really worrying, but it is not easy to spy on. Cao Yin continued with a bit of heaviness.

Seeing that his father was worried, Cao Hao couldn't bear it, and said, "Father doesn't need to worry, the emperor will be safe." If it is worried, it is the Queen Mother, who is seventy-seven years old and has a long life. ”

Hearing Cao Hao say so firmly, Cao Yin glanced at his son, was silent for a long time, and said, "Could it be ...... Shou Yuan geometry, also in the dream of Hao'er? ”

Cao Hao hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said, "If there were no other accidents, it would have been like this at that time." It's just that this subtlety is a little different from what the son knows, and the son can't say that it must be so. ”

"What's the difference? But the death of the eighth elder brother? Cao Yin pondered for a moment and asked.

When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little speechless, is this the wisdom of the ancients?

"How could my father say that?" He couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Those words, you are a little depressed, like you can't think about something." Cao Yin touched his beard and said.

Although he can't be 100% confessed that he was born again, Cao Hao also wants to talk to his father.

Cao Yin's gaze at his son also became deeper.

Over the years, he also knew that his son was by no means an ordinary person. It's just that there are some things that he hasn't dared to pursue too much, for fear that it will be too much of a blessing to his son.

Now, the father and son are meditating, but he wants to ask a few questions.

"Hao'er, I want to ask a few words for my father, can it make you embarrassed?" Cao Yin is colorful.

Cao Hao naturally nodded and said, "Father, please ask, what my son knows, he doesn't dare to hide it." ”

Cao Yin didn't speak immediately, but called the maid to send an empty basin in.

He picked up the brush, wrote a sentence on the paper, and handed it to Cao Hao.

Cao Hao took it and read it, and the problem was not unexpected, and he saw the book "The Geometry of the Emperor's Reign".

In this society, even if a father and son say this in private, it is a great disrespectful sin. Cao Hao took the brush from his father and wrote a "sixty-one".

When Cao Yin saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, sent the paper to the candlestick and burned it, and then threw it into the empty basin.

The spark flashed, quickly burning the piece of paper on which it had been written, leaving only paper ashes.

The next question is "National Zuo Geometry".

Cao Hao calculated in his heart, from the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the abdication of Xuantong, two hundred and sixty-eight years, and then put the answer in the book.

Cao Yin held this piece of paper, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes looked at Cao Hao as if he was sad and happy, and as if he was remorseful.

Seeing this, Cao Hao chuckled in his heart, could he have said too much? My father has always been very stupid and loyal, if he thinks that he is "misleading the public" and "killing relatives with righteousness", he has no place to cry.

At this time, Cao Yin stabilized his mind, burned the piece of paper in his hand, took a long breath, and said to Cao Hao: "Leaking the heavenly machine and hindering Shouyuan is because of my father's negligence. ”

It turned out that it was not that I disliked him, that I was not suspicious of him, but that I was worried about this. Cao Hao's heart warmed, and said, "Father, don't worry, it's okay." ”

In all these dynasties, there is no shortage of people who have peeked into the heavens, but few have a good end.

People are full of fear of unknown affairs, Cao Yin can't understand that his son is very smart and smart, only when the ancestral tomb of the Cao family is smoking, and a person who peeks into the heavens comes out.

For a while, he didn't know whether to rejoice or worry, so he held his son's arm and couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so heavy, Cao Yin was worried that he would lose his longevity and refused to ask more, Cao Hao couldn't help but say: "Father, your children and grandchildren have been famous for centuries and will be recorded in history. ”

As soon as he said that, Cao Hao felt that something was inappropriate. Although Tianyou now occupies Cao Zhan's name, he has not experienced the tragedy of raiding his family and breaking his family, and no one will make him a second master, where will he write "Dream of Red Mansions".

Cao Yin listened to Cao Hao's words, but his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"God forbid." Cao Hao did not hesitate, saving his father from thinking that "the secret of heaven cannot be revealed" and felt uneasy.

After Cao Yin had a young son and was born, although he loved him a lot, he also put it on the tip of his heart for his eldest grandson Tianyou. As he said, he feels that the eldest grandson is like himself, and he can't wait to teach him personally.

Hearing his son mention that his grandson will be famous in history, Cao Yin couldn't help but redden, and said continuously: "Good, good, good!" ”

Looking at his father's excited appearance, Cao Hao felt heavy. He knows the synopsis of the story of "Dream of Red Mansions", where to find the original text.

If the son can't write an article that will last forever, then he will be a lie......* When he saw Han Jiang, he was already three days later.

It seems that the Han Jiang clan came prepared and brought a lot of account books. According to her words, the business of Daoxiang Village already has a charter, and in the future, it can be maintained as long as people do things according to the rules, and she does not need to pay special attention to it.

She has no intention of keeping the forty percent of the shares, and is willing to transfer them to the Cao family at the original price.

This generosity is admired by Cao Hao. No wonder they all say that "people give a horse, and they don't spare needles when they buy and sell". When they cooperated for the first time in Jiangning earlier, Han Jiang's stubbornness seemed to be still vivid. Today, forty percent of the shares of Daoxiang Village, according to the market price, have risen at least several times compared with before.

Cao Hao was neither greedy for money, nor was he a person who unloaded the mill and killed the donkey.

Besides, the original intention of this Daoxiang Village shop was just to settle the Han Jiang clan.

"Listening to Neizi's mention, Shopkeeper Han wants to go to Yangzhou. With all due respect, with the lawsuit a few years ago, even if you are close to each other, I am afraid that there will be a lot of differences. There is Han's shopkeeper's godfather and Cao in the capital, which is cheaper than Yangzhou. Speaking of this, Cao Hao paused and said, "If you are worried about Jiubeizi, you don't need to return to your hometown, there will always be other ways." ”

It turned out that Han Jiang's idea was indeed related to Brother Jiu.

For more than half a year since the beginning of the Spring Festival, Brother Jiu has sent a lot of things to Han Jiang's house. Han Jiang's identity is where he can't refuse, he can't accept it, and he can't accept it, so it's really difficult.

Don't accept it, the other party knelt in the place, and only said the rules of Beizi Mansion, if you can't do an errand, you will be killed. Han Jiang has lived in the imperial city for several years, and he knows that this is not a joke, and the ruthlessness of that Jiubeizi is also well known.

Let's take it, don't say it if the name is not right, this Jiu Elder Brother has opened several "Guixiang Villages" in a row, and even there are gossips in Daoxiang Village, saying that Jiubeizi is not going to dig her big shopkeeper.

Han Jiang's shrewd family has been shrewd for half his life, but this time he has suffered a dumb loss, and there is nowhere to argue.

Brother Jiu also went to Rehe with Hu, but he was not in the capital at all, and Han Jiang's family had nowhere to end it if he wanted to.

She is keen on Daoxiang Village, but because she can't be idle and has a strong surname, she has done a good job. Right now, everything is in order, and her interest has decreased a little.

As for the amount of money, it really didn't get into her eyes.

Her million-dollar fortune is real. In addition, there have been a lot of profits in Daoxiang Village in recent years, but she is not greedy.

Although making money is her hobby, the money and her are just the numbers in the account book.

Her surname is Gaojie, and she knows that Jiubeizi will be entangled like this, even if she is blocked by the Cao family's power, she will also tarnish her reputation, so she decided to take her daughter back to Yangzhou to "retire".

"Daoxiang Village is the brainchild of Han's shopkeeper. If there was no shopkeeper Han, this brand would not have been able to stand. Even if the shopkeeper Han wants to hand over the transaction to someone else to manage, don't mention the withdrawal of shares. Cao Hao said: "If you don't want to stay in the capital, I have a good place to go." It's just that this business is not as good as Daoxiang Village, it is not a matter of a few shops, it is related to the livelihood of the people......"

That's right, the person Cao Hao wanted to recommend to the sixteenth elder brother was Han Jiang.

Although she is a widow, she is not suitable to show her head in front of people and undertake official tobacco affairs. But a beach of trading, from the beginning to the very organized, who is more suitable than the Han Jiang clan.

It is most appropriate to find someone with a proper identity and put it in the foreground, and then let the Han Jiang clan take charge of this matter behind the scenes......
