It wasn't until the horse was far away from Prince Jian's mansion that Cao Hao's tense nerves were finally put down.

Yarjana also has a bit of a kingly style in front of him, and there is no difference in looking at what he says and does; After people, it is still rare to see people...... For some reason, he remembered Wan Yan Yongjia. The girl who liked to wear red clothes back then, now in the inner courtyard of the palace, facing such a husband, is it "raising eyebrows" or "difficult to peace"?

I want to enter the capital at the beginning, a young friend, but now he is a star.

Cao Hao sighed and urged the horse to go to Wanyan's house.

After entering the alley, before I arrived at the door of Yan's house, I saw a lot of people standing at the door from a distance. Cao Hao looked intently, among them, the short-bearded man in his usual clothes who turned over and got on the horse was not the fourteenth elder brother, which one was it?

For this fourteenth elder brother, Cao Hao has always been vigilant, and it was too late to retreat, so he had to step forward.

The fourteenth elder brother was riding on a horse, and when he saw Cao Hao coming, he picked the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head, glanced at Yongsheng thoughtfully, and said, "The relationship between the two of you is good?" What a deep friendship! ”

Yongsheng leaned over and said: "Cao Efu and the eldest brother are old friends of the youth, although the eldest brother is not in Beijing, but Cao Efu was entrusted by the eldest brother and also came to visit Ama several times. ”

When the fourteenth elder brother heard Yongqing mention, his expression froze, and he said to Yongsheng: "The eldest son can't inherit the family business, which is not in accordance with the rules, and now that he is out of Beijing, it is cheap with you." ”

When Yongsheng heard this, his expression darkened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again, but finally said nothing.

Cao Hao had already arrived in front of him, turned over and dismounted, flicked his sleeves, and saluted the fourteenth elder brother: "Please fourteenth master!" ”

The fourteenth elder brother rode on the horse, said "um", and said to Cao Hao with a smile: "Get up, I heard that your family has been having a lot of happy events recently, you want to say congratulations, are the happy events lively?" ”

Although the fourteenth elder brother does not have a branch, he also has contacts with the Cao family.

Cao Song and Cao Shuo's family affairs, the Fourteenth Fujin also made people prepare gifts to send.

Right now, it's just that there's nothing to say.

Cao Hao leaned over and said: "Thank you for the fourteenth master, thanks to the blessings of your lords, the happy event Zhang Luo is quite decent." ”

As the saying goes, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation in more than half a sentence.

After two sentences, the fourteenth elder brother was also a little impatient, nodded at Cao Hao, and said: "The old prince of Zhuangwangfu is not comfortable, Huang Ama asked me to visit, I will take the first step, and the two of you will talk first." ”

Cao Hao and Yongsheng both bowed to see each other, and the fourteenth elder brother urged the horse and went with the chief of the guard.

In Cao Hao's mind, he still thought about the sentence before the fourteenth elder brother left, "The old prince of Zhuangwangfu is not feeling well". The "old prince" in his mouth is Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo, one of the eight iron hat kings.

Bo Guoduo is Kangxi's cousin, several years older than Kangxi, and has no heirs. Several of his nephews are now in a lot of trouble fighting for the position of heir.

I don't know when the relationship between Xiao Sixteen and Zhuang Wangfu began, it seems that I should also remind Brother Sixteen that I should go to this Prince Zhuang to ask for peace or something.

Although in the known history, Prince Zhuang's iron hat title was finally smashed on the sixteenth elder brother. But with the arrival of Cao Hao, the historical details have been different, who knows if the sixteenth elder brother will be affected by the butterfly's wings.

Yongsheng saw Cao Hao looking at the back of the fourteenth elder brother and was silent, hesitated for a moment, and called: "Fu Ruo? ”

Cao Hao came to his senses at this time, turned his head, and asked Yongsheng: "A few days ago, I just got a few old ginseng plants at home, and I thought I would let you bring them back directly yesterday, but you left the table early, and I didn't bother to talk about this." As he spoke, he took a blue cloth satin package from his little hand and handed it over.

"This ...... I'm tired of breaking the money, and the last time I sent it, I haven't used it up yet. Yongsheng took the package and said with some gratitude.

Cao Hao said: "I know that your family is not short of these, but it is more or less a heart." As long as Shibo is in good health, it is always good to have more of these things. ”

It's not good to talk at the door, Yongsheng called the housekeeper and told him to take Cao Hao's long-term entourage and small servant to the side hall to eat tea, lead the way in front of him, and invite Cao Hao to sit in the living room.

When the next person brought the tea, and only Yongsheng and Cao Hao were left in the hall, Yongsheng frowned and said, "Fu Ruo, why haven't you solved the festival with the Fourteenth Master yet?" Looking at him recently, he was very proud, in the end, it was the prince's brother, be careful that he looks for an opportunity to attack you. ”

Seizures? Cao Hao didn't know why, and remembered the "arsenic incident" in Daoxiang Village. Immediately, he questioned this speculation in his heart.

Now that the eighth elder brother is defeated and the fourteenth elder brother is ready to rise, his mind should be on how to please Kangxi and win over the old people of the "Eighth Master Party", why bother to provoke the honest Cao family?

"I'll avoid it, but on your side, is it too close to the fourteenth elder brother? Now that the situation is unclear, this is not the time to take sides. Cao Hao took the teacup, took a sip, and said earnestly.

"What's the way, how to look at the face of Fujin, some relationships are not clean." Yongsheng sighed and said.

Speaking of this, it was really depressing, Cao Hao changed his words, took out a title deed from his sleeve, got up and sent it to Yongsheng, and said, "This, you keep it." In the winter, I thought about sending it to you, and I was busy with family affairs, so I left it in a mess. ”

Seeing that it was the title deed of Xiaotangshan, Yongsheng was quite surprised and asked, "Fu Ruo, this ......?"

"Although the boundary is not big, there is just a good spring in it, and it is cheap to build a small Zhuangzi for Shibo to recuperate." Cao Hao replied.

In the past two years, the magnates of the capital have built hot spring villages in Xiaotangshan, and Yongsheng naturally knows that the land price over there is very high, so he hurriedly got up and said: "This gift is really heavy, and it can't be collected." If the family over there has a big business and a lot of expenses, it is good to keep this land for other purposes. ”

Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "Since I sent it, you can take it, what are you polite?" Although the price of land over there has risen now, when our government bought it, it was extremely cheap, and it didn't cost a few dollars. Every time Brother Shanyu writes and mentions the old uncle, he is with a little guilt and worry. You're alone, busy with errands, and busy in the house, and you don't even have a person to help, I'm just looking at your brother's affection, do your best, and keep it, don't shirk it anymore. ”

Yongsheng looked at the title deed, then looked at Cao Hao, hesitated, nodded, and said: "If Fu Ruo says this, then I will be ashamed, and I will find another opportunity to thank Fu Ruo in the future!" ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "That's good, what else can we hope for as children, only the health of our parents and the safety of our wives and children." ”

As he spoke, he thought of something else.

The land deed given to the Wanyan family is next to the courtyard of the seventeenth elder brother, and it is not far from the Zhuangzi of the sixteenth elder brother. Yongsheng is a quick-tempered person, if he comes into contact with the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, he is designated as a temperant-tempered person.

In this way, in case the fourteenth elder brother is unlucky in the future, the fourth elder brother will have the old age of his relatives and friends, and the Wanyan family can be regarded as an additional layer of protective umbrella.

Blood is inseparable, although Yan Yongqing was expelled from the Earl's Mansion and lived separately, what he missed most in his heart was not his wife and children, but his elderly parents here.

Every time he sent a letter to Cao Hao, he had to read it, for fear that his younger brothers and sisters would report good news or bad news, so he asked Cao Hao to pay attention to his brother and pay attention to the old man's condition.

Yongsheng listened to Cao Hao's words, his expression showed a little contradiction and struggle, he was silent for a while, and said, "Fu Ruo, I want to find a way to transfer the eldest brother back to the capital, right?" It is not easy for my sister-in-law to take care of two children, and Amma's body and bones are like this, and Eniang is also crying when she thinks of her eldest brother. ”

Although family affection is difficult to give up, after all, it is Yongqing's own idea to leave Beijing to hone his own thoughts, and as a friend, he can only support it.

Therefore, Cao Hao listened to Yongsheng's words and said: "Brother Shanyu mentioned in his last letter that when the weather is warm in May and June next year, he will pick up his wife and children. This time to go back to Beijing, let's listen to Brother Shanyu's meaning first! ”

Yongsheng clenched his fists, looked up at Cao Hao and said, "Fu Ruo, you also believe the words of outsiders, do you think that the eldest brother has no choice but to leave Beijing because I am greedy for this father and ancestor?" ”

Nowadays, advocating etiquette and etiquette, "father and son are filial piety, brothers and brothers are respectful" is a model for the world.

Yongqing, as the eldest son and grandson, has long been regarded by outsiders as the future head of the Earl's Court. Although there was a change later, Yongqing was expelled from the Wanyan family, but after all, the bad deeds were not obvious, so people could not associate him with the "rebel son".

The eldest son was expelled, and the second son supported the door in the house, and this gossip was indispensable. In addition, the number of concubines in the Earl's Court is getting older, which adds fuel to the fire, and this gossip spreads more and more widely.

One hand, five fingers, some long and some short.

Alienated from the big one, the small one, of course, there is no father, but the small designation is also not worrying.

It's as if when you look up at the sky, you don't notice a large blue sky, but you see dark clouds above. What the world sees in its eyes and wants to explore is also the sinister human heart.

As if only by seeing that others are dirty, can he be clean, and there must be a basket of unpleasant words behind Yongsheng.

Cao Hao had heard of it before, but he was not interested in exploring it.

Human feelings are strange, even as a family. For example, the old man Wanjiha refused to forgive Yongqing no matter what, and he was not allowed to return to the Earl's Palace. But on the sickbed, no matter who he saw, he always mentioned his eldest granddaughter who was not around, and then inquired about Yongqing's recent situation around the corner.

Listening to the grief and indignation in Yongsheng's words, Cao Hao shook his head and said, "Others don't know the hidden secret, don't I know?" This earl has been passed down to you, and he is only a first-class son, with an annual salary of four hundred taels. Even if you don't inherit this, you are the son of the county lord, and you can also mix with the knights of the capital and the cloud knights. One mile and one outside, the difference is only two or three hundred taels of silver, what is so rare? The only advantage of inheriting the Earl's Court is that the descendants will inherit it for a few more lifetimes. That's a hundred or hundreds of years later, who has the leisure to go away? ”

When Yongsheng heard this, he let out a long breath, nodded again and again, and said, "That's it, that's it, who is rare?" What is the use of this idea every year? It's just a false name, others are rare, but I am not rare. The eldest brother is also a little unkind, and I was the first to propose to go down to earn military merits and qualifications. But let him find an opportunity, and use it, leaving me here to deal with these bullshit relatives, not to mention, and to carry a bad reputation. ”

Cao Hao smiled: "You should only hone your heart in Beijing!" It's all villains chewing their tongues, you ignore them, and there will be no movement after a few days; Don't reply, or they won't be able to pull you off the horse, or they will splash you with swill. ”

"This really fulfills the phrase 'tolerance is great'!" Yongsheng said with a smile: "Could it be that I am still a talent of Zaifu, and now this can be regarded as self-cultivation!" ”

One sentence dispelled Fang Cai's dullness, and both of them laughed.

Wan Jiha drank the medicine and fell asleep, Cao Hao followed Yongsheng to the lord of Fuhui to ask for peace, accompanied him to a few gossips, and then took his leave.

Yongsheng personally sent Cao Hao outside the gate, and then took the ginseng and the land deed into the inner courtyard and handed it to his mother.

Lord Fuhui looked at the old ginseng in the box and said, "Your sister also brought some back two days ago, and the condition is similar to this." ”

Speaking of Yongjialai, the mother and son were silent.

After a while, Fuhui County put down the box happily, sighed, and said, "It's all Eniang's, it's Eniang's who delayed your sister." In the early years, you Ama said that Cao Hao was a good match, I disliked the low rank of the Cao family, and the low rank of Cao Hao, so I dragged and dragged and refused to let go. When I met Cao Hao, I thought this young man was good, but I let the Seventh Elder Brother take the lead. Otherwise, now your sister is in a different situation. "By the end of the day, my eyes were already red.

Yongsheng saw that his mother was sad, and hurriedly persuaded: "What is the matter with Eniang, our family was in the filial piety period at that time, how can I talk about this?" It's just fate! Yongjia's side, after all, has a real child, it is a rare person, and I heard that the prince is also very favored. ”

Lord Fuhui took the handkerchief, wiped his tears, shook his head, and said, "No matter how good my daughter is, what's the use?" is always a coquettish, sooner or later he has to become someone else's family, and he always has to have a son by his side to make people feel at ease. ”

Yongsheng said: "Yongjia is a little older, the prince is also in the prime of life, don't worry about this, maybe next year there will be a little brother who will come out and shout 'grandma' next to Eniang." ”

The lord of Fuhui said: "That relationship is good, I said that I burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, but now I am just begging for your Ama to be healthy, and your brothers and sisters are happy." ”

"E-Niang, don't worry, Yongjia has an idea when she is young. She is also the prince of the royal marriage, who can give her anger? Yongsheng smiled, handed over the title deed, and said, "E-Niang still wants to think about what kind of Zhuangzi to build, and we will spend the winter over there next year." Among them is the Great Spring, which is also good for Amma's body. Li Xiang has been soaking in this for the past two years, a man in his seventies, and I heard that he is now tougher than the previous two years. ”

Fuhui listened to his heartbeat, took the title deed, and said, "Really? That's a good feeling, I listened to others nagging about the hot springs earlier, and I haven't noticed it yet. If it does, thank goodness......"

* Big Wood Factory, King Jane's Mansion, Inner Courtyard Upper Room.

Yongjia took the title deed handed over by Yarjiang, and said with some doubts: "Xiaotangshan? ”

Yarjianga was already sitting by the kang, teasing her daughter with the box beads.

Zhen'er opened her round eyes, looked at the pearls in the box, and reached out to grab a handful. Her hands are small, the beads are slippery, where can she catch it, she falls to the kang and rolls around.

Zhen'er smiled and sent the remaining beads in his hand to his mouth.

Yaerjiang was startled, hurriedly grabbed her daughter's little arm, and said, "Good girl, this is not for food." ”

Zhen'er was stopped, and she was a little unhappy, muttering a little mouth, and said, "Amma, eat ......"

Yarjianga took Zhen'er in his arms, turned around, and asked Yongjia: "Have you defeated Zhen'er in the past two days?" Why are you so hungry that you have to eat when you meet? ”

The "defeat of the fire" in the palace is to make the children hungry for a few meals.

Yongjia shook her head and said, "Eat it by the table, it's just that she loves sweets, and she is afraid of tooth decay, so she doesn't dare to give her more snacks." Otherwise, whatever he sees will be sent to his mouth. ”

When Yarjianga heard this, he pinched Zhen'er's face and said, "I didn't expect that this king would give birth to a little gluttonous girl." This greedy appearance is almost catching up with the king's childhood. At that time, the grandmother of the palace was very powerful, and she said that "defeating the fire" means not giving food for three or five meals. I was so hungry that I changed into the clothes of the little eunuch and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. That's really sending everything to the mouth, even taking two bites of raw radish. ”

When Yarjan said these words, Yongjia listened silently.

After Yaerjianga finished speaking, he also smiled, looked at the beads on the kang, and said to Yongjia: "The beads sent by Cao Hao were originally intended to be played with by Zhen'er, but now it seems that they are inappropriate. You put it away and keep it for the reward......"
