Volume 11 The Storm Chapter 628 Good News
On February 18, the holy car toured Xinggidian and set off from Changchun Garden.
On the side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it has also been decided that Cao Hao, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will leave Beijing on February 15 and go to Rehe to be responsible for repairing the palace. Among the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are Dong Changhai, the director of the Construction Division, Qu Feng, a member of the Fengchen Academy, and Lang Zhong Yi Duli of the main hall.
According to the plan, before the holy drive arrived at the Rehe River, Cao Hao would lead the people of the Internal Affairs Office to be responsible for the repair of the palace and other affairs; After the saint arrived at the Rehe River, Cao Hao would follow the emperor.
Calculate the number, but he will not be able to return to Beijing until the end of September.
Although the matter of taking Chu Yu out of Beijing has been reported at the Zongren Mansion, and the imperial front has also said hello, but after all, it is a "business trip", and the entourage with him is not too much.
Zhiran asked the Buddha to see the demeanor of the master of the Yellow Sect; Jiang Jian is a staff member, so he wants to follow the master; Li Wei, in the name of studying with Jiang Jian, also wanted to follow. Needless to say, Wei Hei, Zheng Hu, Xiaoman and others, as well as Cao Jia, Cao Yi and other four people.
The people in the inner house, because they want to take Tianhui, so the ** maid around Tianhui has to follow. The two aunts in the Rong Courtyard want to take care of Niuniu, and the Tian family wants to take care of Zuo Cheng and Zuo Zhu, but they can't pull away.
Cao Hao and Chu Yu originally wanted to invite Amethyst to go with them, but Amethyst had to take care of Tianyou and Hengsheng's daily life.
In this way, in addition to the maid and mother-in-law of Wutong Garden, several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law followed.
Rao is like this, counting both men and women, there are dozens of people, more than a dozen big cars, more than ordinary people move things.
Cao Hao felt a little eye-catching at first, and wondered if he should travel in batches. But then I thought about it, I had been wearing the hat of Heshuo for several years, so why bother to be uncomfortable at this time. After all, it was through Kangxi and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not with his dependents out of Beijing privately.
Cao Hao can be so comfortable, and other officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs go out of Beijing, but they can only take the chief with the small servant.
Others can still stand it, where can Yiduli stand this?
But years ago, he was being belittled for women's affairs, and now where is it good to blatantly repeat it?
Fortunately, on the other side of Rehe, his father was also a frequent companion during his lifetime and bought a house. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs set a date for the trip, and he sent his concubine Yang to take a few maidservants out of Beijing first.
The departure was approaching, but Chu Yu was a little uneasy.
After all, she has to go out for half a year, and others can say that Tianyou and Hengsheng brothers are still young, and she is really relieved to be a mother.
Therefore, she discussed with Cao Hao whether the weather could be warm, and let God bless them to go too, so that the two aunts of Amethyst, Tian and Rongyuan could also go out to breathe.
The children are getting older, and Cao Hao doesn't want to keep them in the yard. But after all, it is not a distance of ten miles and eight miles, and the journey of hundreds of miles is really hard for the children. Therefore, he also hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.
I don't know if he was too pessimistic, in his heart, he was originally a little taboo about his son walking with him. After all, for the Cao family's room, before the immortality landed, Cao Hao and Tianyou were the only two bloodlines.
If the father and son make a mistake, it will be a fatal blow to the Cao family's room.
Sometimes, it's not the fear of death, it's the reassurance that the living are not at ease. may be ridiculed as a coward, but it is also a kind of filial piety to protect oneself and not die in front of one's parents.
With immortality, this taboo is much less.
Although Cao Hao is not a person who believes in the dogma of "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great", he is also quite burdened when he thinks about the meaning of his children and grandchildren to his parents.
When the seventh elder brother heard that his daughter and son-in-law were going to live in Rehe, he asked Cao Hao to go to the palace of Chunjun and asked them about the resettlement of Rehe's residence.
The Cao family did not have a private house in Rehe, and the seventh elder brother knew about it, so he instructed Cao Hao to live in the garden of King Chun's mansion.
Although I don't know if I have my own children on the list of people who will go to Rehe this year, the seventh elder brother still hopes that his daughter and son-in-law will live more comfortably. Besides, even if he follows the law, the garden over there can live.
With good intentions, Cao Hao has no reason to refuse.
Even if the two of them arrive in Rehe, they can find a house that fits their hearts, but it will take some time to pack up and move in, and it is cheaper to temporarily live in the palace garden.
After this toss, Cao Hao felt a little nostalgic for the capital, and seemed to be a little reluctant to leave.
After all, the capital is home, and everything is convenient.
However, thinking of the depression in the capital, Cao Hao is still looking forward to going out to breathe, otherwise all year round, he will think of intrigues and tricks in his head, and people will become ruthless and boring.
Self-preservation is to survive, to learn the appropriate means, and to be able to stand. But if people's hearts are distorted, they don't think about anything else in the whole day, and they only see calculations and conspiracies in their eyes, then what is the meaning of life?
There is a true monk Zhiran in the mansion plus the layman Jiang Jian, and Cao Hao's mood is becoming more and more peaceful.
For those who reprimanded him and insulted him in person, Cao Hao was not angry. In this world, no one is obligated to be good to you except your parents.
Even after entering society, there are various emotions and moods between people. It's normal to be liked, accepted, disliked, and rejected.
Those who hide their heads and show their tails and dare not show their true faces, Cao Hao only feels pity in his heart.
Maybe their real identity is a gentleman in front of people, elegant and amiable, and gentle to others, but in private, they are a little sour, making small moves, making some small means, whether they have nothing to do, listening to the wind or rain, slandering and slandering others' character.
In that way, it is like trying to reduce others to a pile of shit, and the heart is more refreshed, but they don't know that the bad words hurt others, and it is their own mouths that are dirty first, and then their own hearts are dirty.
For these people who speak ill of mouth and have malicious intentions, Cao Hao has nothing to care about.
In this way, it is just without desire.
Just like the dialogue between Hanshan and Shide, "There are people in the world who slander me, insult me, despise me, laugh at me, bully me, and despise me, how should I deal with it?" Bear with him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, let him, honor him, and ignore him. In a few years, you will look at him."
Except for the two generations of emperors, Kangxi and the fourth elder brother, Cao Hao has nothing to fear. In fact, when these words were fine, he was also thinking about what way to limit the imperial power.
If the king cannot control the life and death of his courtiers as he pleases, then it will be a harmonious society.
However, it was like a dream.
As if in a dream, there are also Tianyou and Hengsheng's little brothers.
Hearing the news that their parents were going to take their sister out, the little brothers thought that everyone had a share, and they came to Wutong Garden to inquire happily.
Cao Hao and Chu Yu had dinner and were talking about the congratulatory gift to Hongzhuo. In addition to the gold and jade jewelry for the bride, a thick silver seal was also prepared for Hongzhuo.
Although the Chunjun Wangfu has not yet invited the eldest son of the county king, whether it is in the palace or outside the palace, Hongshu has already regarded Hongshu as the heir of the palace. Hongzhuo and Hongshu are from the same mother, but they are just waiting to be separated, and the treatment of brothers is very different.
Although he is short-tempered, his surname is simple. Among Chu Yu's two half-brothers, he is the latest to be close to Cao Hao, but he is also the most heart-wrenching.
Because of his temper, the seventh elder brother reprimanded him a lot, and the most serious one was that he practiced family law and used the whip. Hongzhuo once couldn't help it, ran away from home, and hid on his sister's side.
Cao Hao is not short of money, Chu Yu is not stingy, and the two of them prepare a gift for Hongzhuo, of course, it is practical and generous.
When the sons came to greet them, the husband and wife stopped what they had said and asked about their brothers' homework.
Looking at Hengsheng Zhiwu's appearance, needless to say, he also knows that his "Hundred Family Names" has not yet progressed. Tianyou, on the other hand, also said that he was stupid and didn't know how to memorize much.
Hearing this, Cao Hao and Chu Yu glanced at each other, but they were a little puzzled.
Before Xixi praised Tianyou for his intelligence more than once, Cao Hao was nothing, but Cao Yin was overjoyed, and the eldest grandson of the straight road had the demeanor of his ancestors.
At a young age, God knows if you can be modest?
Cao Hao looked at his eldest son and wondered why his son answered like this, whether it was the master's words and deeds, or whether he had learned that "if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher".
Heng Sheng's face was already red, and he said in a low voice: "My brother is very knowledgeable, and the master also praised my brother today, saying that my brother has finished reviewing the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", and he should learn the Analects!" ”
Tianyou lied, Cao Hao couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.
Although there are few people in the world who have not lied, but at this age, they began to lie to their parents, but they should be disciplined.
Sensing his unhappiness, Tianyou was a little uneasy, cautiously looked at his father's face, lowered his head, and said: "The son has already told his master that he will not learn the Analects first, but will review the "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics", and "Thousand Character Texts", and then talk about the "Analects" later. Father didn't have a word, and he had to be solid in his studies......"
Looking at his small appearance, he was weak when he said it.
Cao Hao didn't blame him for lying, but blamed him for lying. After all, the Qing Dynasty was not a civilized society, and gentlemen were not popular.
Thinking like this, Cao Hao's brows furrowed even tighter.
Could it be that the father-son bloodline is a natural enemy, and every time he faces Tianyou and Hengsheng, Cao Hao's mood is different. For Tianyou, he is mostly picky and dissatisfied; For Hengsheng, it is mostly pity and pampering.
Thinking of this, Cao Hao couldn't help but be stunned.
Could it be that he didn't take Hengsheng as his own son, so he was much more tolerant. Shouldn't it? Hang Seng was delivered by his own hands, and when he was a child, he was raised in Wutong Garden.
In his eyes, Hengsheng, like Tianyou and Tianhui, is his closest flesh and blood.
At this time, Cao Hao remembered when he was a child. His father treated him differently from Cao Shun and Changsheng. Could it be that this is the expectation of the elders who are the eldest son?
Seeing Cao Hao's calm face and not speaking, Tianyou was already a little afraid and didn't dare to speak.
Hengsheng took a step forward and said, "Father, my brother is for Hengsheng, I'm afraid that I will learn too fast and Hengsheng won't be able to keep up." In the end, tears had already fallen from his eyes: "Hengsheng is stupid, he can't endorse, and he dragged his brother back." ”
"You're younger than your brothers, what's the hurry, you'll always carry it." Chu Yu felt sorry for his son, so he hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped Hengsheng's tears.
Hengsheng choked, Tianyou couldn't care about being afraid of his father, and came to his younger brother and coaxed: "I said it earlier, I don't know how to do it these days, my grandfather taught me in the early years, I can memorize those long ago, it's not a good thing." When you have learned all of these articles, let's learn together, and it's hard to say who is fast and who is slow. You haven't compared, why did you surrender, be careful to call Zuo Cheng a joke. ”
"My aunt taught me too, but I still can't remember." Hengsheng said to Tianyou: "I am not as good as my brother, my brother is the smartest." I had a lot of strength to carry a bookcase for my brother. ”
"How can there be an elder brother who asks his younger brother to carry the bookcase, if no one mentions it, I will mention it." Tianyou said with a smile.
The little brothers really have a bit of a "brother, friend, brother and brother" appearance, Chu Yu touched Tianyou's head, and then touched Hengsheng and said, "Good boy, you are all good children." If you are not in a hurry to do your homework, if you learn slowly, let's learn slowly. ”
These words were what Cao Hao also wanted to say to the two brothers. After all, a family like theirs does not need their children to take the road of the imperial examination and shine on the lintel.
Reading and literacy is only used for children to cultivate their self-cultivation and increase their knowledge.
It's just that Chu Yu has already said these words, and Cao Hao doesn't have to repeat them twice.
Chu Yu was still thinking about how to talk about leaving Beijing with his sons tomorrow, Tianyou had already raised his little face and asked, "Father, mother, if we go out, what will the master do?" The Master kept a straight face all day long, and when he told us books, he was better. ”
Chu Yu was speechless for a while, glanced at her husband, and then said, "God bless, you can't stop learning." You see, your fourth uncle, your fifth uncle, and several of your younger uncles, don't they all have to study? Your father is going out on an errand, and your mother is serving your father. Your sister is still young and doesn't need to study, so take your sister with you. You and your younger brothers have to stay at home to study. ”
Tianyou and Hengsheng were quite surprised, Tianyou thought about it, and asked carefully: "Mother, when will you come back, how long will you stay?" Three, or five? ”
Hengsheng wrinkled his little face, walked to Cao Hao's side, took Cao Hao's clothes, and prayed with a little bit in his eyes.
He is different from Tianyou, after arriving at the Cao family, he was raised by Chu Yu's side, and his dependence on his parents is deeper than that of his brother.
Cao Hao looked at his son's appearance, but he couldn't bear it, and asked, "You two, do you want to go with you?" ”
Tianyou and Hengsheng listened to it, and nodded their little heads.
Cao Hao thought for a while and said: "Not tomorrow, it's still cold, grandfather and grandmother, we also need you to replace us, please be filial." When April comes, if you still want to go, I will have someone send you there. ”
"April ......" Hengsheng had already snapped his fingers, but he was a little confused, and whispered to Tianyou: "Brother, how many days later?" It's not long since I was born, what do I want my father and mother to do? What should I do if I miss my sister? ”
"Well, the fastest is a month and a few days, and the slowest is two months." Tianyou thought about it in his heart and replied.
Seeing her husband relieved, Chu Yu was overjoyed. However, thinking that the children had passed, and that Amethyst, Tian, and Lianqiu had all passed, there would be only Cao Yin and his wife left in the house, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.
Will the house be too deserted, if only my father-in-law and mother-in-law could follow it this year. In this way, the family rehe escapes the summer, not only to see the excitement, but also to be together, saving two worries.
Although their parents are about to go away, Tianyou and Hengsheng are still young after all, and they don't know the pain of parting. I only knew that although I couldn't go out with my parents, I could go to my parents in a few days, and the little brothers were quite satisfied, leaning on their father's side and asking about the story of Mongolia and the steppe.
Isn't it a meadow horse, where they all eat milk and gluttony.
Tianhui was originally carried to the East House for a rest after dinner, but she also woke up and was hugged over. Knowing that her brothers were coming, she also smiled on her face, sat on the kang, and listened to everyone.
At this time, I heard the sound of "kicking" footsteps outside the yard.
"Sister-in-law, is my brother not at home?" It was Cao Song's voice asking under the porch, full of joy.
"The second brother is here, come in! Your brother is here! Chu Yu replied.
After entering the house, Cao Song immediately said: "Brother, sister-in-law, great joy!" Exultation! As he spoke, his eyebrows fluttered, and the corners of his mouth grinned to the root of his ears.
Chu Yu and Cao Hao were still waiting for him to say the next sentence, but he didn't mention it, with a little smugness on his face, "hehe" smiled, and asked, "Brother, sister-in-law, guess what's the happy event?" ”
Although there was no progress in the war in the northwest, Cao Song also ran to the front of the army once last year.
"To tune ...... Promotion? Cao Hao originally wanted to ask if he wanted to transfer the inner guard.
Although they are both palace guards, there is a world of difference between the inner guards and the outer guards. The guards on the outside shift are really guarding the palace gate, and when they see the emperor, they don't have a chance to speak. The inner guards, also known as the guards of the Qianqing Palace and the guards in front of the palace, are really close ministers of the Son of Heaven. It is easy to boil in the third class, and it is easy to put it out in the first class.
Cao Song was transferred from the inner class guards because of his physical disability, and he was not eligible to be transferred to the inner class again.
In a blink of an eye, life is already different.
But I don't know, when his love affair with Jinghui fades, will he regret ruining his good future for a woman?
Cao Song shook his head and turned to Chu Yu again: "What about sister-in-law, sister-in-law guess?" ”
Although Cao Hao said that Chun'er's matter was a misunderstanding, there is still a Zilan here, isn't it a concubine?
No, Cao Shuo's mourning period has not passed. Although the younger brother is filial, the husband and wife do not have to separate and have children...... Thinking of the word "giving birth", Chu Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Second brother, but are my younger brothers and sisters happy?" ”
Cao Song grinned, nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "Well, I have just reported to my uncle and aunt, and now my brother and sister-in-law also know, hehe, it's time to prepare a red envelope for your eldest nephew." ”
"Congratulations, I'm going to be a father, and I'll never be a child again." Cao Hao was also happy for Cao Song in his heart, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Treat your younger brothers and sisters well, and have a good time." ”
No matter how good the relationship between Cao Song and Jinghui is, after all, he is the eldest son of the second room, and he is burdened with the responsibility of reproducing children and grandchildren. If Jinghui's stomach didn't move, Zhao Jia's side wouldn't stop.
Cao Song scratched the back of his head, hesitated, and said, "It seems that it is very hard to look at that girl, and I want to ask my sister-in-law to help take care of it for a few days." My sister-in-law is going out, can my brother beg Sister Amethyst to help her? Our wife's side is really not reassuring......"
Seeing his weak appearance, Cao Hao was a little surprised: "What's the matter?" The younger siblings are happy, and the second wife is too late to be happy, can you still embarrass you? ”
Cao Song laughed twice and said, "Send the imperial doctor away, and I will ask Zilan to go back to the wife's courtyard." Mother was angry that Jinghui's stomach didn't move, so she wanted to stuff the girl here, but this time she didn't need it......"
