On the second day of the Tianhui Full Moon Banquet, Cao Hao went to the Pingjun Palace, and had a sincere conversation with the Pingjun King Nersu.

Hearing that the brother-in-law advised him to stay away from the prince's elder brother, although he didn't name him, but the fourteenth elder brother only met yesterday, the two naturally knew it.

Nersu is also a clever person, why should Cao Hao say too much, but he didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, the fourteenth elder brother is the fourteenth elder brother, and it is not the eighth elder brother and the third elder brother." Fourteen elder brother is two years older than me, and we had a good relationship when we were studying in the study in the early years, which is also known to the long-lived master, and it is not a taboo. You can rest assured, I am a good iron hat king, and I will not get involved in those abolished things. ”

Seeing that Nersu was like this, Cao Hao knew that if he didn't say something, he wouldn't take it to heart.

So, Cao Hao turned solemn and said: "Brother-in-law, the eighth elder brother has lost power, and I am afraid that he will not be able to turn over in front of the Long Live Lord." The eighth elder brother has always had a great reputation and good popularity, and his henchmen are all over the government and the opposition. The brother-in-law has a noble status and will never take fame and fortune to heart, but a meritorious achievement is enough to make others dizzy. Since the eighth elder brother has fallen, who do they support? They have the ninth elder brother in charge of the money and the eighth elder brother in charge of the connections, how can they be willing to give up the storage position to others? The ninth elder brother only loves yellow and white things, the tenth elder brother is not enough to learn, and the fourteenth elder brother just happens to be a ready-made candidate? Besides, the eighth elder brother suffers a loss, so he can't eat on the sacred heart, but the fourteenth elder brother is one of the emperor's favorite princes. ”

Although the eighth elder brother has not been as beautiful as the original in the past two years, among the older elder brothers, he is still a powerful person. Princes and officials, who dares to pack a ticket and say that the eighth elder brother has no hope of winning the prince?

Cao Hao was not a person of many words, but now he is talking about it again.

Nersu also smiled and asked, "What's going on over there?" Has the eighth elder brother's situation come to this? ”

Cao Hao pointed to his chest and said, "Why did this arrow come from?" No matter which one is plotting against me, the sixteenth master, for fear that the above will not be able to deal with it, in order to investigate the matter, he has taken his own body in front of the emperor. Even if the real murderer can't be found, I'm afraid that the Long Live Lord will be suspected of the eighth elder brother. ”

Nersu shook his head and said, "No, there must always be a purpose for acting, even if the Long Live Lord wants to charge the Eighth Elder Brother, it is the reason why the Eighth Elder Brother harms the Sixteenth Elder Brother." This always has to be checked, and if you can't find it, how can you identify which one it is? ”

Cao Hao said: "I'm afraid that if I can't find out, I will become more and more suspicious of the eighth elder brother." Nothing, just suspicion. In the past few years, there were fewer crimes before and after the abolition of the prince, are they all real? Brother-in-law, think about it, what is the difference between the situation of the eighth elder brother today and the second elder brother in the past? ”

Nersu was originally a transparent person, listening to Cao Hao's words, he was like being empowered, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a little joy, and said: "According to what Brother Hao said, that fourteenth elder brother is really a prince, but I really didn't see it, and I didn't see him in his heart here." ”

Cao Hao saw Nersu's reaction, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and asked: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean, do you want to promote the king of the county to another level, or do you want to be a king of Zuozheng?" ”

Nersu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, you should know me, the most impatient with those intrigues in the court, strange and tired, what do you want?" I only hope that I will have the opportunity to go on the expedition and show the prestige of our Pingjun Palace. ”

When he said this, his face had a lot of glory, which was completely different from the gentle and elegant county king.

Although the wish is good, Cao Hao is only more worried when he hears it.

He frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, the younger brother has something to ask for, and I hope that my brother-in-law will agree." ”

Cao Hao was able to come over to persuade him, and Nersu also knew that he had good intentions, thinking that there were already a lot of things in his house, and now he was still worried about his side, he couldn't help but be a little ashamed, and said: "Brother Hao, but it doesn't matter, we are all our own family, and where my brother-in-law can contribute, I will agree." ”

Because the two were talking, there was no one to wait in the study, so they all sent out.

But Cao Hao still stood at the door first, looked into the courtyard, and then said to Nersu: "Brother-in-law, the Tibetan king Lazang Khan is in harmony with the monks and officials of the three major monasteries in Lhasa because of the abolition of the sixth [***], and the situation in Lhasa is very bad. Dzungar Khan left Razang Khan's eldest son there, fearing that he would find an opportunity to enter Tibet. When the time comes, a war will inevitably be fixed. ”

When Nersu heard this, his eyes were cold, and he immediately got up from his seat and said happily: "If this is the case, then I will take the initiative to invite Ying to go into battle, and if I can go to the battlefield once, I will not live in vain for all these years!" ”

Seeing that Nersu was so enthusiastic, Cao Hao got up and said, "Brother-in-law is looking forward to going to the battlefield like this?" If so, what else can my brother-in-law promise me? ”

Nersu looked at Cao Hao and said, "Brother Hao doesn't want me to go to the battlefield, but I'm worried about your brother-in-law and children?" As the descendant of the king of Keqin, how can I, Nersu, be greedy for life and afraid of death? Brother Hao underestimated me, right? ”

Cao Hao looked at Nersu, but his face was more solemn than he had ever been, and said: "Brother-in-law wants to wear armor, wants to make meritorious achievements, and is a man who is heroic, and my younger brother only admires, how can he have the heart of dissuasion?" Just ask my brother-in-law to remember this earnest conversation today, and if the court really fights, if the person leading the troops is the fourteenth elder brother, please also ask my brother-in-law to think twice before acting. ”

Although there are not many people in Zhungar, it is related to the comfort of the northwest border, and it is said that the imperial driver has personally conquered three times, and it is not an accident to send the prince and brother to lead the troops in the future.

Nersu didn't feel a little moved, among the older elder brothers, in addition to the eldest elder brother who was circled, there were only thirteen elder brothers and fourteenth elder brothers left. The thirteenth elder brother is in an embarrassing situation, if the prince is really selected to lead the troops at that time, the eighth achievement will be the fourteenth elder brother.

Cao Hao persuaded him like this, and he didn't want him to have more to do with the fourteenth elder brother, so naturally he was not optimistic about the future of the fourteenth elder brother.

Nersu didn't respond for a while, and said: "Although the fourteenth elder brother is not open-minded, he is a righteous person, does the younger brother have any misunderstanding about him?" Do you want your brother-in-law to find an opportunity to talk about the misunderstanding? ”

Cao Hao saw that Nersu was still helping the fourteenth elder brother, and sighed in his heart, and said: "Brother-in-law, what I said today can come out of my mouth and into your ears, I only say this incident, if my brother-in-law asks me in the future, I will not admit it." After all, the Lord is old, and the candidate for the prince in his heart will never let him leave Gyeonggi lightly. ”

Cao Hao knows the truth that if you talk too much, you will lose, and he is not a person who talks a lot, but when it comes to the future of Nersu, he can only point it a little more.

Now it can only be said that when Nersu is so friendly with the fourteenth elder brother, he will not say that the fourth elder brother is the future emperor, and the fourteenth elder brother is an unlucky person.

It doesn't matter if you're close or not, or whether you trust or don't trust it, even if you are impulsive, you can only endure some words, or it's a disaster.

What he said today has given Narsu a wake-up call, and the rest depends on his own choice.

Cao Hao has never underestimated this brother-in-law, and when the prince was deposed, Nersu did not do anything less in private. Cao Hao is compassionate, after all, young people have to be face-saving.

He has also been high since he was a child, and he inherited the throne of the county king when he was a teenager, but he was whipped by the prince in public. This tone, even if it is someone else, may not be able to bear it.

Nersu waited for Cao Hao to finish speaking, and just wanted to ask, he heard Cao Hao say: "Brother-in-law, I still need to go back to take care of the house, and I will come to my sister and brother-in-law to say goodbye." ”

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, Nersu smiled and said, "Wait first, yesterday I came back with your sister and found two Qingzhi plants from the house, both of which are for obvious use, and I want to send someone to send them today." You're here, and it's cheap to bring it back. So saying, he sent someone to the inner court to fetch it.

One time less, Qingzhi was delivered, Cao Hao did not stay any longer, and said goodbye to Nersu and returned home.

Nersu personally sent Cao Hao out of the house, and after returning to the study, he sat quietly for a long time.

The next day, on the first day of July, Cao Hao's birthday, was sick and there was no banquet. Outsiders don't know, only when he is really sick, ginseng and deer antler velvet are sent a lot. Relatives and friends, knowing that there are some changes in his house, can also sympathize with him.

Cao Hao came back to Beijing to "recuperate", and there was no need to rush to go to the yamen, and he didn't let go of his daughter's baby all day long, or he studied all kinds of milk soup when he was free.

For convenience, Cao Hao sent someone to set up a small kitchen in the east wing of Wutong Garden. When he asked someone to get it, Xiyun and Xicai were all a little happy, and their hands and feet were much more diligent.

Cao Hao didn't understand the reason at first, it wouldn't be that everyone was gluttonous, thinking about making snacks in the small kitchen, right?

However, it doesn't look like it, even with Mama Ye and Chu Yu, looking at Cao Hao's expression is a little strange.

Cao Hao was puzzled in his heart, and when he stayed in the evening, he asked Chu Yu.

Chu Yu saw that Cao Hao didn't know the meaning of the East Chamber, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Ordinary people, the East Chambers and West Chambers of the main courtyard are all prepared for the concubines. ”

Cao Hao really heard of it for the first time, when he was in Jiangning Weaving Mansion, because the mansion was spacious, several aunts lived in the small courtyard behind Kaiyang Courtyard.

On the Xifu side, although Cao Hao had also been to the courtyard of his uncle and aunt, he really didn't notice whether the concubine's room lived in a wing room, and there was another courtyard.

I can't complain that the concubine is also called the "side room", which is why it turns out.

Cao Hao hugged Chu Yu into his arms and said: "The east chamber has made a small kitchen, and the west chamber should not be idle, clean it up and make a study, and I will teach the children to read and write there in the future." The study in the east room was withdrawn and packed out for Tianhui to live in. Hang Seng will be a week next month, and I heard him call his sister today. When Tianhui can also walk the aisle, let the two children be together, and the little brother and sister are also companions. ”

Although Cao Hao didn't say anything meaty, the east and west chambers were occupied, but he also confessed his heart.

Chu Yu only felt that his eyes were hot, and he was ruthless in his heart, nodded, and said: "Not only Hengsheng is getting bigger, but also the two brothers in Tian's sister-in-law's house, this house will really be lively in the future!" ”

"yes!" Cao Hao nodded and said, "Wait a little longer, in two years, when they are older, open up the empty yard in the house in two places and build a place for the children to play......"

For most of the next half month, although Cao Hao did not reach the realm of "wife and children hot kang head", he revolved around the three places of "wife, children, and pot edge".

Chu Yu said that he was getting plump, and the milk was gradually sufficient.

In addition to boiling milk soup for his daughter-in-law, Cao Hao also chose light side dishes that he had eaten in his previous life, and he would have one or two dishes if he had nothing to do.

Although the weather is not as hot as June in July, it is not good to have a fire in the kitchen.

Cao Hao was tired of the smell of oil and smoke, and he was afraid that he would smoke his daughter, so he had to bathe several times every day.

It's okay to take a shower, but it's not cheap to wash your hair.

Cao Hao gestured with Chu Yu and asked her to sew a small hat herself, and wore it when she went to the kitchen, but she was not afraid of the smell of her hair.

During this period, Zhao Jia's walked more diligently to Wutong Garden, and beside Chu Yu, all he talked about was the experience and allusions of taking children.

Not only Chu Yu, but also Cao Hao, didn't feel verbose, they all listened to it with relish.

People in the world say that there is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure. Many life experiences are passed down by word of mouth from elders.

Although the two got along last year and were a little unhappy with each other, but today, they are much more harmonious.

Because of Zhaojia's return to protect Chu Yu, Cao Hao is really close to this second aunt, and she is no longer as faint as in the past.

In more than ten days, that is, twenty-seven months after Cao Quan's death, Zhaojia's family and Cao Song and their brothers will lose their filial piety. Between these words, Zhao Jia's family naturally also mentioned Cao Song's brother's family affairs.

Cao Hao and Chu Yu remembered these words and circled around Tianhui and neglected Cao Song's family affairs.

Cao Hao is 100% against the family business of the Shilang Mansion, but the reason is that it is not easy to tell him directly, and he is very embarrassed in his heart.

Chu Yu's side did not want to cause any dissatisfaction with the Zhaojia family because of Cao Song's family affairs. Even if sometimes Zhaojia's words and deeds are not pleasant, after all, they are just widows and aunts, and they can only be more sympathetic to the younger generations, and Daoxiang Village, which has been preparing for several months, finally set a date for opening after the Midyear Festival......
