Chapter 432: The Gate
Because it was the end of the month, there was no moonlight, the night was dark, and the house was very dark.
There was the sound of beating the watch in the distance, it was already the third watch, and Cao Hao still couldn't sleep. He lay on the bed, not knowing if it was distress or the pain in his chest.
He turned sideways and looked at Chu Yu lying on the side, faintly smelling the milk on her body, and tears suddenly flowed down in strings, burning his eyes.
I don't know how long it has been, Cao Haofang fell asleep in a daze, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.
Today is June 29, the full moon ceremony of Tianhui. Before going to bed yesterday, the husband and wife talked about their daughter's nickname, and the first reaction in Cao Hao's mind was "Jiaojiao", but he didn't say it.
Now, both husband and wife are a little suspenseful, afraid that there is something else wrong with this child, so they named Tianhui as a nickname, hoping that she is naturally smart.
Although there is no big effort, several close relatives and friends still have to be invited. Cao Hao was originally worried about Chu Yu, afraid that she would not want to see outsiders because of her daughter's illness.
But at the moment, Chu Yu's spirit is good, combing his two hairs, changing into a cherry-colored flag suit, and covering the armor of the snow-gray bamboo of Pinyuedi, which is luxurious and dignified.
When Cao Hao got up, he saw a smile on her face. When she finished freshening up and had breakfast, she still had a smile on her face, but she didn't look happy.
Cao Haoshi couldn't look past it, and said: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, when my sister and mother-in-law come, they can cry if they want to, they are all close relatives, and they will also sympathize with us." ”
When Chu Yu heard this, he immediately shook his head, his eyebrows were full of firmness, and said: "Today is the joy of Tianhui full moon, I am naturally happy in my heart, why do I cry?" My daughter is ours, what can others do, I just hope she is well! In the end, looking at the cradle, his face was already full of love.
Cao Hao's heart was also warm, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "You're right, today is our daughter's full moon joy." I, as a father, also rejoiced with joy. Children are debts, and I am going to save money for them now. Even if you smash my old bones, you have to arrange them properly. ”
Chu Yu listened to Cao Hao's words, and her face was more gentle.
While the husband and wife were talking, Amethyst came, asking Chu Yu about the banquet today.
Perhaps because of eating fasting and reciting Buddha, for Tianhui's eye disease, Amethyst did not sigh like Zhao Jia's, and did not show any abnormality. I heard that her name was "Tianhui", and she praised it repeatedly.
Chu Yu's heart is very grateful, she does not want others to pity her daughter, she hopes that her daughter can grow up healthy and happy.
Cao Hao still has something to ask Mr. Zhuang, and after a while, a guest will come to the door, and he is afraid that he will not be available. Therefore, he kept Amethyst to talk to Chu Yu and went to the Banyan Courtyard to find Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang had already finished breakfast, and walked around the courtyard to eat, and when he saw Cao Hao coming, he stopped, and the two entered the house.
"Since I got the news, I have already asked people to check, although the few 'suicide in fear of crime' escorts are inlaid with white flags, they have nothing to do with the fourth elder brother. However, there is a certain amount of strangeness, these people had been in and out of the casino before leaving Beijing, and owed a lot of gambling debts, but later they didn't know where to buy the silver to fill it. It's just that this goes deeper, but I can't find out, I really can't figure out which one is spending this money, and whether the target is the sixteenth master or Fu Ruo. Mr. Zhuang tapped his fingers on the table and said.
The Ah Ling'a who put several guards to death was the eighth elder brother's person, although the sixteenth elder brother was a little suspicious of him, but Cao Hao couldn't figure out the reason why he was involved in these.
As an uncle, he has the title of duke, and it stands to reason that the more such a person is, the more cautious he should be. Only that kind of single, without any scruples, can do appalling things.
"How is this person?" Cao Hao asked: "It's just that whether it's the sixteenth elder brother or me, he shouldn't have a reason to do it." ”
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "It's not him, he is on an errand in front of the eyes of the Long Live Lord, how dare he get these cats?" Although it may be which elder brother made someone do it, it may not be the eighth elder brother. Now that he is cautious in his words and deeds, how dare he poke this basket? ”
Cao Hao remembered someone and asked, "How is the fourteenth elder brother in the capital?" ”
Mr. Zhuang touched his beard and said, "I stayed in the military department all day, and I didn't see anything abnormal. Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Hao and said, "How did Fu Ruo think of asking the fourteenth elder brother, could it be that he was suspicious of him?" ”
Cao Hao nodded and said, "That arrow didn't shoot by mistake, it really came to my chest." I am wearing the first-grade supplement uniform of the county lord's forehead, and the sixteenth elder brother is wearing the golden python robe of the prince's elder brother, no matter what, it will not be confused. Although the fourteenth elder brother and I are only a small friction on the surface, I always feel that he hates me a lot, but I don't know why, I can't feel his kindness at all. ”
Mr. Zhuang was a little puzzled, and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of the dispute in Guishan, it is also the ninth elder brother who holds a grudge, after all, it is his cousin, and he has swept his face." ”
Cao Hao came over in a hurry, but not to say this. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, my maternal grandfather, is it Prince Yu or the emperor?" ”
I don't blame him for asking, it's just that he remembered that Mr. Zhuang answered him a little vaguely, not in the world, not in the world, or not in the world...... What does it mean to not be outside the palace...... After all, for those who had been trained in Confucianism for generations, the emperor was the Son of Heaven.
Mr. Zhuang was holding a teacup to drink tea, but he didn't expect Cao Hao to suddenly change his mind and ask this, and he coughed, so he choked.
He put down the teacup, wiped the water stains from his beard, and asked, "How did you think of this?" ”
In Cao Hao's heart, he was treated by Mr. Zhuang as a close relative, so he directly said what he was confused about.
I didn't feel anything in Jiangning earlier, after all, it was the family that was favored, and there were generations of the Cao family loyal to it. After arriving in the capital, he obviously felt Kangxi's care for him.
Although he began to regard this as the emperor's technique, compared to Li Ding, who was almost the same as him, he found that he was much luckier.
And he has been upgraded again and again, and there is no reason for this way of development. Even if it was because of his grandson-in-law, compared to his age, Kangxi's promotion was still too fast.
Among them, of course, there is a little bit of Cao Hao's achievements, but most of the time, it is still a reward.
The government and the opposition all know that Kangxi is the most affectionate to Prince Yu, if Cao Hao's mother is the daughter of Prince Yu who was exiled in his early years, Kangxi looks at his brother's affection and treats Cao Hao, a nephew, differently, which is reasonable.
Otherwise, Li is Kangxi's own daughter, she is forty-two this year, and Kangxi was born in the twelfth year, which is the time of the three rebellions. Maybe there was something wrong with her background that made Kangxi unable to keep her in the palace.
Cao Hao only felt that he couldn't think about it anymore, because the more he thought about it, the more bloody he became, and he really didn't want to apply those storylines that others seemed to be vulgar to his relatives.
In fact, he suspects that another reason why his mother was born in Jinzong is Mr. Zhuang. What is the reason why a strategist who was a staff member in Suo Etu's Xiangguo Mansion was able to come to Cao's house?
Cao Hao only felt a headache, knocked on the door of his head twice, and asked, "Sir, do you know it or not, can you tell it directly?" It's so muddy and embarrassing, and it makes people feel sad. ”
When Mr. Zhuang saw Cao Hao like this, he couldn't bear it, and said: "Since you asked, I know, and I will naturally tell you." You expected it well, but your mother has something to do with the royal family, but I'm like you, and I don't know if she's the daughter of Banzai or Prince Yu's personality.
Your grandmother is not Gao, she should be someone else. That person was indeed born in the Pingxi Palace, and was the granddaughter of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and was raised by Concubine Ning Yu after entering Beijing. Later, whether he entered the palace as a nobleman or as a side concubine in Prince Yu's mansion, there are two theories.
Because of the long time and the closure of those who have a heart, there is no way to know. It's just that after the three rebellions, there was no news of this woman. On Gao's side, he took in a woman who was waiting to give birth, and later the woman died in childbirth. After that, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Prince Yu's Mansion all sent people to the Li family. The two correspond, and I suspect that the person taken in by the Gao family in the past may be the daughter of Concubine Ning. ”
Cao Hao listened, his expression was a little stiff, he was just guessing in confusion, he didn't expect that there would be such a bloody story. The hatred of the country and the family that can't be overcome, it is difficult for a lover to become a family member in the end, and even the children can't be raised by their side openly?
It's just that now, Prince Yu has passed away, Cao Hao can't run to Kangxi and ask, am I your nephew or your grandson?
Whatever the answer was, Cao Hao was not interested. The only thing he was sad about was, why did these bad fates hurt his daughter like this?
That's it, no matter what, the child doesn't dare to have it anymore, so there are children and daughters, and they live a good life.
Although he knew that Tianhui's eye disease was related to blood, he couldn't completely die in his heart, and asked Mr. Zhuang: "Sir, is there really a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo Bian Que in this world?" Child She ...... Child, her eyes are not very good......"
Wutong Yuan frequently asked for a doctor a few days ago, and Mr. Zhuang also knew some reasons. Although he sighed in his heart, he didn't value it as much as Cao Hao. After all, this kid is very expensive when he lands, how many people can grow up safely? Who doesn't have a child who died early, it's the Cao family, didn't they fold Cao Shun back then?
It's just that he is a father himself, and he can also sympathize with Cao Hao's love for his daughter, and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that there are people with hearts, and the children are still young now, Fu Ruo should not be too anxious, and slowly make people visit!" ”
Cao Hao knew in his heart that although he had persuaded Chu Yu, he still couldn't think about it. Who doesn't want their children to be healthy?
Cao Hao lay down on the kang, and seemed to be a little impatient.
Seeing that he had changed into new clothes, Mr. Zhuang patted his thigh and said, "Hurry up, the back placket is wrinkled, you still have to entertain guests in a while, don't you?" ”
Speaking of guests, the guests began to come one after another.
Chunjun Wangfu is a few Hongshu brothers plus the Borzigit clan are here, although Chunjun Wang Fujin on the same side of Fujin did not come, but as a grandmother, he went to the palace to buy a dumpling feast and send it over.
Pingjun Wangfu, Pingjun King wants to go to Yamen, and he wants to come over in the next morning, Cao Jiashi himself came first.
On the side of Jueluo Mansion, Cao Yi had already come out of confinement and came with his mother-in-law, Xitara.
The Sun family was just in time for Sun Jue to take a break, and the husband and wife came over together.
After finishing the Yan family, Yongqing's wife Qi Jia brought her daughter over. On the side of the Earl's Palace, Yongsheng also sent generous gifts. It's just that he's on duty today, and he won't be able to come over until the second half of the morning.
On the side of Zhaojia Mansion, the brothers Fengde and Fengche naturally did not pull it, and their mother, the eldest lady of Zhaojia Mansion, also brought their daughters-in-law over. There is also the Shilang Mansion, and Zhaojia's sister-in-law also brought her daughter over to eat and drink.
At the entrance of Cao's Mansion, although it is not a busy traffic, it is also lively. Like Cao Hao's colleagues in the Guard's Office, the subordinate officials of the Household Department and the Taifu Temple, and Jiang Ning's fellow villagers who are officials in Beijing, who are not well-informed, all sent congratulatory gifts.
Although this is a daughter, it is more lively than when God blessed the full moon. Between the two gates and the gate, the servant servant ushered in and sent it, singing loudly, a prosperous scene.
Zhaojia's sister-in-law took her daughter Ruhui to get off the carriage outside the second gate, and looked at the Zhulun carriage that had been parked here, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, and whispered to her daughter: "Look, this is the real style, looking at the posture, I don't know how many palaces have come to Fujin?" ”
Ruhui followed her mother, just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, but did not speak.
These words, one after another, people came to the door to say goodbye, Zhaojia's sister-in-law looked for several families, but most of them sounded good, and in fact, there were no people with titles.
Compared with the two, the door of the Earl's Court is still the best among them, so her mind is also a little lively......
