Cao Hao's paperwork for a business trip had been directly handled by the Ministry of War yesterday.

Before going to Mongolia, he had to go to the palace to receive the holy decree, but this was to hand over the sign when Kangxi had breakfast.

Cao Hao got up in the middle of the night again, but many gardens were in charge of the lights.

After dressing, Cao Hao went to the East House to take a look at his daughter. Tianhui was sleeping soundly, her little face was flushed, and it hurt to look at it.

Although Cao Hao wanted to hug her daughter, she couldn't bear to disturb her to sleep, so she withdrew.

When he arrived at the West House, he took out a small box from the drawer at the end of the kang, handed it to Chu Yu and said, "This is what I changed a few days ago, and I wanted to make up more to give my daughter a gift for her first birthday." I'm on a business trip this time, and I guess I'm going to have to delay naturalization for a long time, so in two days you can find a craftsman and use this gem. ”

Chu Yu took it and opened it, but it was half a box of rubies of all sizes.

"Health, longevity, peace, and joy are blessed by our heavenly wisdom." Cao Yan thought that her daughter would turn one year old, but because of her eye disease, she did not start learning to walk like other children.

More often than not, Tianhui either climbs or sits.

Her eyes didn't look unusual at first glance, but if you looked closely, you would find that the whites of her eyes were a little dark gray, and the places of her eyes seemed to be covered with a film, and there was no brilliance.

Cao Yan had hoped that her daughter would not be a "cataract" before, and she was also looking forward to the opportunity in her heart, so that she had an eye disease.

If that's the case, let's not talk about the development of Western medicine for the time being, even Chinese medicine has long had acupuncture therapy to treat this disease.

In the term of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no cataract name, but this kind of cataract eye disease is called "blue blindness".

If you have blue blindness, you can't see things, but you can perceive light and darkness.

On Tianhui's side, I invited a few imperial doctors to take a look, but they all shook their heads...... Chu Yu was also uncomfortable, but she didn't want her husband to go on a business trip and worry about her family, so she took the gems and said with a smile: "Naturally, we are blessed, as the forehead said, since the two of us are parents, we must protect our daughters for the rest of our lives." I have long thought about it, in addition to saving the dowry, I will also buy property every year from now on. The income from the shop in Daoxiang Village, I was asked to put it away for pocket money, and where did I have any expenses. Women can't go in and out of the court, let's not talk about marriage in the future, even if we are gone, our daughter will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and she will not have to look up to people for a while. ”

Speaking of buying property, Cao Hao remembered something and said to Chu Yu: "The Zhuangzi in the family, except for you and me, is the public sacrifice field. Although the lord and the wife would not think of this, they still asked people to look for Zhuangzi, and picked twenty or thirty acres of such a small Zhuangzi to buy two, which not only looked inconspicuous, but also added some expenses to the wife's side. I have given some of the silver sent by Wei Xin to my wife before, and there is a lot of rest. Take out some of them, and tell Cao Fang or someone else to find them. ”

Chu Yu listened and was ashamed.

But I only thought about my daughter in my heart, and I didn't think about my parents-in-law.

She blushed and said, "E, let's add this silver from Daoxiang Village to it, right?" But I was negligent, and my wife was impatient with the housekeeper to take care of the accounts, but it was better to have more room in her hands. ”

Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "No, there is still a lot of silver left over there in Guangzhou." Now the children are all small, and when they are older, they will have enough to chew. It is natural for a man to support his family, and you can still come with your heart. ”

While the husband and wife were talking, Xicai had already brought someone to bring breakfast.

Although Cao Hao didn't have much appetite, he thought about the fatigue of the journey, so he ate a few more pieces of dim sum and drank two bowls of porridge before putting down his chopsticks.

Amethyst came over, and before the placement last night, Cao Hao and Chu Yu went to Kwai Courtyard to see the children.

Amethyst knew that Cao Hao was going on a business trip today, so she also got up early, handed over two bottles of mosquito repellent potion to Chu Yu, and put them in Cao Hao's luggage.

In addition to this, there is also a string of tiger bone safety buckles, but it was Amethyst who personally stepped forward and pinned it to Cao Hao's belt.

Amethyst is only seven years older than Cao Hao, but it can be regarded as watching Cao Hao grow up. In addition, since beating the old lady, Amethyst is by Cao Hao's side, and also plays the role of "nanny and grandmother".

Cao Hao lowered his head and fiddled with it, and asked, "Look, it's similar to the string hanging next to Tianhui's cradle, all of which were begged for at that time?" ”

Amethyst nodded with a smile and said, "Although it looks ordinary, it is an antiquity, and it is the treasure of the owner of the nunnery that I often go to." I saw it, and I thought of a way to come and beg for it. But there is only a pair, the girl hangs a string here, and the rest of the string, the two masters are not easy to separate, so they are on my side, and they can be used today. ”

Cao Hao looked at the silver threads faintly exposed by the amethyst sideburns, but he was a little worried.

But if you should be persuaded, you have been persuaded many times; Besides, as far as those men outside, Cao Hao was really afraid of ruining Amethyst.

Could it be that you really want to build a family temple and place amethyst?

Cao Hao thought of this, but it was a little funny in his sentimentality. If there is a monk Zhiran in the house, plus a female nun in Amethyst, then there will be only one Taoist left.

In the past few years, he has often sighed that the way of heaven is difficult, and he really has some meaning of "the way is the way, the way is not the way".

The three monks, nuns, and Taoists got together, plus Chu Yu, a secular person, just happened to be a table of mahjong...... Chu Yu saw that her husband seemed to be smiling and crying, and she was afraid that Amethyst would be sad, so she had already pulled Amethyst to the side and sat down, handed over a note, and said, "Sister Amethyst, this is a small piece of information prepared for the forehead." Sister, look, but what else needs to be added or subtracted? ”

She is also poor and lonely, and she can't help but sigh in her heart.

Amethyst looked at the list and saved a few words from Chu Yu, but it was "thoughtful", "this is excellent" and so on.

After reading them all, Amethyst found that something was missing, and said, "Grandma, where is the peppermint oil?" It's getting hotter and hotter this day, and it's enough to rush on the road, so it's just right to use this refreshment. ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he hurriedly asked someone to find mint oil and put it in Cao Hao's line.

Cao Hao looked at the table clock on the ground, and when it was almost ugly, he said to the two: "According to me, after a while, when the garden is cleaned up, everyone will be able to live in the past." The holy driver is about to move to Rehe, and the emperor may ask his father to follow him...... In that case, you don't have to arrange it twice. It's close to Xiangshan, and when you want to go shopping, or incense, it's cheap. ”

Amethyst didn't care about herself, she just looked at Chu Yu and said, "What does grandma mean?" ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "I also thought that if I went to escape the summer, there was no proper person to wait for the master." It's not good to go to the yamen every day. If the master goes to Rehe, then I will go to the other side of the garden with my sister to serve the wife. ”

Cao Hao thought about his father's appearance of circling around since he learned that his mother was pregnant, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "I guess, even if my father doesn't follow him, if my mother goes to escape the summer, his old man is willing to live in Haidian even if he is running around." ”

It wasn't early, so Cao Hao got up and went out.

Chu Yu personally took a package, took Amethyst's arm, and sent it to Cao Hao together.

When passing by the Orchid Courtyard, Cao Hao was not allowed to go in and said goodbye to his father and mother.

Li's eyes were a little red, and he looked very unenergetic. Cao Hao looked at Cao Yin with some unease, and there were more questions in his expression.

Cao Yin shook his head and said, "Your mother has slept a lot lately, no less than in the past. She was afraid that she would fall asleep and not be able to get up to see you off, so she stayed up until now without closing her eyes. ”

In the end, he looked at his son with a little resentment, as if his son was an unfilial son and dragged down his wife.

Cao Hao listened, but his eyes were a little sour.

Li was embarrassed by what her husband said, and she was afraid that her son would worry, so she smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, I came back yesterday and squinted several times......

Looking at her mother's smooth forehead, loving eyes, and gentle expression, thinking about her origin from not being able to see people, Cao Hao only felt that he had too little love for his mother in the past.

He took two steps forward and took his mother's hand and then his father's hand.

The world is respectful, and when there are occasional intimaties between mother and son, the father and son abide by the rules and lack intimacy.

Cao Yin was surprised, he was already stunned, and let Cao Hao pull it.

Cao Hao had already clasped his parents' hands together and said, "Today, my son is going to go far away, and my father and mother can't fulfill my filial piety for the time being, so I entrust my mother to my father!" ”

The latter sentence is said to Cao Yin.

Although there is a "displeasure" to look at his father and a deliberate joke, Cao Hao also sincerely hopes that his parents can live happily like this.

Between this husband and wife, they don't usually feel anything.

When you are old, you can be each other's companions, but you can't be replaced by your children and grandchildren.

Cao Yin heard the banter in his son's tone, his old face turned red, he coughed, and said, "This is a bastard!" We are at home, where is the truth of your heart? Mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it's verbose. Just remember that your mother, your daughter-in-law, and your children will remember you. When you go out, you should be careful. Pampered since childhood, you haven't suffered since you were a child, and the naturalized 'wind and sand' is bigger, in the end it is not as good as Beijing. It's time for 'rain' again, don't care about it, and you'll be so tired that others will follow you. ”

These words were uttered in a reprimanding tone, but it was difficult to hide the concern in them.

Although Cao Yin also cared about his son in the past, he loved to hold the frame of his strict father and would never say this. In the end, as he got older, his surname gradually softened.

Li listened to it, both relieved and sad.

Over the years, she has also been hanging, afraid that her husband and son will have something to deal with. The son is a little alienated from his father, and the husband is much more critical of his son, and she is also embarrassed in the middle.

Now it seems that the previous worries are superfluous, but in the end, they are connected by blood, and the surnames of father and son are natural...... After saying a few words with his parents in the Orchid Courtyard, Cao Hao looked at the time, and there were still two quarters of an hour before Chouzheng (two o'clock in the morning) opened the city gate, so he didn't delay any longer and came out of the house.

Because they were going far away, Wei Hei and Zheng Hu both followed.

was selected to follow the naturalization, as well as Zhao Tong, Xiaoman and the Ren brothers, and four people, Cao Hao is not an eyeblower. When he went to the ranch in the first month, Cao Fang took the people who went to look for him outside the mouth.

These are the people used by Cao Yin's subordinates, and they are different from the long-term guards in the mansion.

Like Wei Hei, they are all people in the rivers and lakes, and each of them has a few brushes in their hands.

These four don't look kind, and they're quite scary when they pull their faces.

But I don't know why, these people are willing to obey Cao Yin's orders and become the family members of the Cao family, and they are also respectful to Cao Hao.

For others, they are detached and don't talk much.

Although they don't like to talk, since their father arranged it, Cao Hao can be regarded as reassuring to them. In addition, they looked arrogant, but they also listened to Wei Hei's arrangements, so Cao Hao didn't bother to talk about it anymore.

Although he didn't say how to do it explicitly, it was an indisputable fact that Wei Hei had been the chief of guard by Cao Hao's side over the years.

No matter how good these newcomers are and how loyal they are to the Cao family, if they are mavericks and don't listen to the arrangement, then Cao Hao won't dare to use them.

After all, he doesn't just need bodyguards, if these people come with their surnames and cause trouble for him, wouldn't it be a headache. Besides, selfishly, he also treats Wei Hei as a relative, and he can't tolerate others slacking off.

No matter how capable he is and how he can protect him, after all, since he was seven years old, it was the Wei brothers who took care of him.

No one can replace the love of these ten years.

But thinking about it, he was too worried, these people didn't say anything about the Cao family, but also hid their real names and surnames, and used names like Cao Jia, Cao B, Cao C, and Cao Ding, so they were willing to start living in Ontario.

In the capital of the Cao family, there are more than 200 people who came from the south, and the one who gave the family name is only the room of Cao Wu in the capital, and the room of Cao Fu who followed Cao Yin.

The four of Cao Jia were not obvious when they first arrived in the capital, but looking at Cao Yin's treatment of them, they were also worshiped in the mansion in the future.

Cao Hao has no opinion on this, but it costs more than a year to get these four bodyguards, which is also worth it.

Wei Hei's side, before joining the Cao family, followed his master and brother to mix in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he saw it in his eyes. He saw that these skills were good, and after coming back from the mouth last time, everyone had occasional competitions.

Although he knew that these four people were better than him, Wei Hei was only happy.

Most of the long-term guards around Cao Hao are the sons of the Cao family, and although they look young and strong, their skills are average.

Speaking of which, it's just that he, Zheng Hu, and the Ren brothers have a little bit of work in their hands.

Now, there are four more people, but it is more help, and Wei Hei can relax a little in his heart.

He was already thinking in his heart, should he discuss with Cao Hao when he came back from outside the plug this time, pick some young children, and follow the four to learn kung fu.

In this way, in the next ten or twenty years, these people will be old and inconvenient, and they will just take over...... When Cao Hao rushed to Xizhimen, the waterwheel had already entered the city, and many people had already left the city.

Speaking of which, Cao Hao's rank in the Ministry of War is not qualified to directly hand over the sign to him.

According to the rules, only the princes of the clan and the Beijing officials and foreign officials above the third rank come to Beijing are eligible to present a sign to the emperor when he has breakfast.

Wang Gong uses a red-headed brand, Beijing officials use a green-headed brand, and foreign officials use a general brand.

Other officials, if they are not ordered by His Majesty to see them, they need to be introduced by the officials of the Yamen Hall where they are located; In the case of foreign officials, they can only wait for the introduction of officials of the ministry, or wait for the will to be seen.

In the end, Cao Hao took advantage of his identity, and he has been a green card all these years.

There were already many adults outside the garden, and Iduli was among them.

Seeing Cao Hao handing over the sign, he came over, with a little excitement on his face, and said: "Fu Ruo, this is the sky is high for people and birds to fly, and the sea is deep with fish jumping, I really can't wait to fly over immediately and put on armor to go into battle." ”

Cao Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw his "liberated" look.

With Yiduli's current figure, it really responds to the old sayings of 'sinking fish' and 'falling geese', and it is not easy to flutter.

Seeing Cao Hao smiling and not answering, Yi Duli took a breath and said, "What? You still don't believe me? Don't look at the clerical work I have done all these years, and I have never fallen behind in this work. ”

Cao Hao waved his hand and said: "I have no such intention, but I just think that adults used to be the most homesick, and now they can forget their selfishness like this, which is really admirable." ”

Yi Duli listened to Cao Hao's praise and tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't laugh.

He was so happy, of course, because he was happy on a business trip, in addition to having the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the field, but also because he was able to leave home temporarily.

"A good wife and a beautiful concubine", in the eyes of outsiders, he can be regarded as blessed. But only he knows what it's like.

His wife is virtuous, but after all, she is a woman, and her heart is small.

As long as he stayed in Yang's house for two nights in a row, the wife's eyes were full of resentment, and even the children were worried.

The beauty of the concubine is beautiful, not only the color is good, but also between the sheets.

As long as he finds the Spring Palace, he will not only let him fiddle, but also become more and more charming under his tactful and coquettish cry.

is also a surname who is not jealous, in order to please him, Yang opened his face to the two maids beside him.

Yi Duli only thought that he had picked up a treasure, and he only felt that none of the women he had ever touched in his life were painful in front of him.

Helpless, after all, people are ordinary people, not steel and iron bones.

This ** way is the most consuming of essence and blood, and his physical strength is gradually exhausted.

The wives and concubines also saw it in their eyes, and saw that the sky changed the way to make up for him, but they made up for the fat.

The beautiful concubine is reluctant to stay alone in the empty room, and the virtuous wife must also do her best to be a husband, Yi Duli is already a little unable to stand it...... * Qingxi Study, the imperial meal has been put on the table, Wei Zhu took the jade plate and stepped forward, on which was a sign with the names of each person's grades and official positions.

Kangxi glanced at it and saw Cao Yan's name, but he was slightly stunned.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and he flipped Cao Yan's brand.

Wei Zhu's heart was secretly relieved, he deliberately put Cao Yan's brand in a conspicuous place on the side.

The human heart is flesh and blood, even if there is no utilitarianism, this heart can't help but favor the person he treats.

Yesterday, there were a lot of rumors about the Empress Dowager's palace overnight, most of which meant that Cao Yin's wife was not treated by the Empress Dowager.

Although I don't know who is fueling the trouble, Wei Zhu also faintly feels that it is wrong, for fear of affecting Cao Yan's holy family, so he has the heart to help ...... Cao family, Dongfu, and Xicross.

Cao Shuo heard the sound of chickens crowing in the distance, turned his head to look at the window, and it was already getting dark outside.

He had been sitting all night, his body had frozen, but he was unconscious. He wanted to get off the ground, but he stumbled, fell to the ground, and his forehead hit the side of the bed, and there was already a touch of blood red in front of him.

Cao Shuo didn't wipe it, got up from the ground, pulled the stool next to the small table, and looked up at the beam above his head.

It's really hard, it's really ashamed, it's really shameless...... That's it...... If you are cowardly again, he will be a useless person on the left and right......*
