Back in Caofu, Chu Yu thought of her biological mother's situation and was uneasy. Cao Hao looked at his wife wrong, and thought it was Qifujin's problem, but he didn't think it was good to interject, so he didn't ask more.

For his two mothers-in-law, emotionally speaking, Cao Hao is close to the side of Fujin, but he is also respectful to Qifujin. According to the etiquette law, in the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion, it can't be said that the concubine kills his wife, it's almost the same.

Now, Hongshu canonized, it is common for Qifujin to feel uncomfortable.

Chu Yu suppressed the anxiety in her heart and did not tell her husband. After all, it's the New Year soon, and it's futile to let the husband worry about it. She packed up two copies of the good ginseng in the palace and sent someone to send it to the palace. Just waiting for the New Year to go back to his parents' house to serve the sick.

In the early years, because she was raised by her mother's side, Chu Yu was a little unfamiliar with her biological mother's affection. It wasn't until she gave birth to God's blessing and became a mother that she missed her relatives even more.

Li Shi did not know the reason for his daughter-in-law's anxiety, and seeing that her spirit was insufficient, and the power was due to her heavy body, he asked Jinghui and Su Xin of Dongfu to come over and ask the two of them to prepare a sacrifice and a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhao Jia's family was idle and bored, so he also came to Xifu and pulled Li to talk and play cards. In her spare time, she couldn't help but nag a few words, in addition to missing her eldest son who was far away in the northwest, she was complaining about her concubine Cao Xiang.

Last year, Cao Xiang took office, and it was too late to send New Year's goods back; This year, he originally said that he would send people back, but now that he is going to be thirty, and no one has yet entered Beijing, Zhao Jia's family is inevitably indignant.

I didn't want to, I complained on the first day, and then I said that the people sent back by Cao Xiang came to Beijing.

There are two cars of New Year's goods. Zhao Jia's asked Jing Hui to read the list, but instead of any joy, she was furious.

There is no gold or silver at all, most of them are Henan Tuyi, and there are only a few pieces of Nanyang jade, which are worth a few silver coins.

"This little white-eyed wolf, this is selfish, saving private money...... "Zhao Jiashi said hatefully.

Jinghui didn't say much, so she had to remind her mother-in-law of the "happy event": "Old lady, the fourth aunt is pregnant, do you pick a few mothers-in-law to wait?" Save the two of them from going out and running out of manpower. ”

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he became more and more annoyed.

She looked forward to her grandson for several years, but there was no news, but Chunhua was pregnant.

"There is a shortage of manpower, so let them buy their own. They have blackened their conscience and kept all the silver secret, but they still can't fill it here? Zhao Jiashi shook his head and said.

Jinghui didn't say much, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't discuss this matter with her mother-in-law, and she had to inform her brother-in-law and let her brother-in-law come forward, which saved Cao Xiang's heart and alienated her relatives.

Lu Ju is just a concubine, when she was pregnant in a foreign office, the Cao family sent her mother-in-law over; It doesn't make sense that Chunhua, the wife of the main house, is ignored.

Cao Hao's side also received Cao Xiang's family letter and New Year's gift.

There is no other New Year's gift, just a few pieces of good Nanyang jade.

Cao Hao knew that he did not send silver to the capital, and he was quite relieved. Long before Cao Xiang was released, Cao Hao had mentioned to him the danger of this political errand.

Although it is a decent errand, if it is mixed up in the local [***], the future will be ruined.

This study of politics is the way to advancement, and at the end of the three-year term, you will have qualifications to become a bachelor of Hanlin or enter the cabinet.

He is not worried that his cousin will be greedy for silver, he has the experience in Luoyang Mansion in his early years, and the ink corruption case happened in front of Cao Xiang, and Cao Xiang always has to think about it.

Seeing that Chunhua was pregnant in the letter, Cao Xiang was full of expectations for the upcoming son-in-law, and Cao Hao was not happy at all.

Because of the thought of Green Chrysanthemum and Tianyang's mother and son, Xu was preconceived, and Lu Ju pawned the dowry to protect Cao Xiang in his early years, Cao Hao was closer to their mother and son in his heart.

Thinking of the early years, Cao Xiang gave up the imperial examination for the sake of Green Chrysanthemum, and now the husband and wife are together, and the mother and son of Green Chrysanthemum have fallen behind, which is only a few years of hard work.

But this is a matter in the cousin's room, and Cao Hao, as a cousin, has no reason to stop his younger brother and brother-in-law's affection.

He left down the letter and asked someone to prepare 1,000 taels of silver, planning to send it to Cao Xiang after the year.

On the other side of Green Ju and Tianyang, he had to tell Chu Yu a few words and let his wife take care of it.

Chu Yu answered, but in his heart he was happy for Chunhua.

Chunhua looked Jiaohan, but at a young age, she was generous and calm, which made Chu Yu always treat this younger brother and sister differently. In addition, Chunhua was born in a clan, and the two are the same ancestor, so some treat her as a sister.

She thought in her heart, she didn't know who would give birth first between herself and Chunhua; I also thought that Chunhua was far away in Henan, which was not as convenient as Beijing.

When they met Jing Hui, the two of them talked about Chunhua, and they were only happy for her.

In the end, the position of the wife and concubine is different, in their hearts, no matter how much Lu Ju is favored by Cao Xiang, she is just a concubine, and only Chunhua is a serious daughter-in-law of the Cao family.

Although they were happy, in the end, Su Xin was afraid that she would be too careful, and they didn't want to say more in front of her.

Actually, even Jinghui is also troubled by childlessness, but her husband is in the northwest, and Zhaojia's nagging can't reach her head......* In a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day of the lunar month.

The inner courtyard of the Pingjun Royal Mansion is much more lively than usual. Even Cao Jiashi was full of smiles and couldn't help it, because Fu Peng returned home from the palace to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve.

King Pingjun was not there, and he, the eldest son of the royal family, had to entertain his father everywhere in the first month, and he did not return to the palace until the fifteenth day of the first month.

A palace wall is separated by a single slap at the end of the year. Flesh and blood reunion for half a moon, how can Cao Jia's family not like it?

Although she gave birth to four sons, she is a mother, and her feelings for her firstborn son are still different.

She knew that what she could rely on in her life was not her husband's favor, but this eldest son.

Narsu went to the northwest for four years, how could there be no one around to serve?

Although women are not allowed in the army, it is not a secret that local officials are clever and buy foreign houses.

Cao Jiashi had already gotten the news and knew that her husband had accepted two people to serve by his side.

At first, it was a little sour, but then she thought about it, and she could only look away.

When her husband was just past his first year, he couldn't let him become a monk. Moreover, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is not tolerant of the bitter cold in the northwest.

When he left Beijing, he made a special trip to bring the chefs of the palace.

A person who can't even stop his appetite expects him to abstain from sex for a few years, which is also a fool's dream.

However, even if you receive two, even if you bring them to the capital, they are just a room; gave birth to a son, and he could not go to the four sons-in-law of the king's palace.

In Nersu's letter, this matter was never mentioned, and Cao Jiashi only did not know. It's boring. Man, sometimes, you have to save some face for him.

Fu Peng turned fifteen years old, and in front of his three younger brothers, he already had the momentum of an eldest brother, asked a few younger brothers about their homework, and commented a few words.

Seeing Cao Jia's suddenly, she remembered the scene when she saw her husband for the first time in her early years, and she didn't know what it was like.

Fu Peng has been in the palace for four years, and he has developed a pair of sharp eyes, and he can see the sentimentality of his mother, and said in a low voice: "Eniang, listen to the meaning of the fourteenth uncle, Ama should be able to return to Beijing at the end of next year, and at the latest at the beginning of the next year." Jungar sued for peace, and the battle was almost fought. ”

Cao Jiashi nodded and said, "It's better to come back early." It's just that it's delaying you, if you're in Beijing, maybe I'll pick a daughter-in-law for you in this year's draft. ”

In front of his younger brothers, Fu Peng was a little shy in the end, and said busily: "Don't worry, my son is still young." ”

When the draft was held again three years later, Fu Peng was seventeen, and it was just right to marry a wife.

Cao Jiashi sighed in his heart, three years later, Tianhui Eleven, is still too young. With a little selfishness, he may not be able to ...... Caofu, the ancestral hall.

After the Cao family finished worshipping the ancestral tablet, they went to the Lan Courtyard where the Li family was located to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Because of Chu Yu's big belly, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was arranged by Jinghui.

According to the example of previous years, there are two tables for women and one table for men.

The seven-year-old Changsheng and Heavenly Protector both sat with the Cao Hao brothers.

Cao Hao didn't feel anything, Cao Fu looked at the small head of the half table, but his heart was sour.

In the early years, I didn't think there was anything good about the child, and I looked forward to my wife giving birth to a son and a half daughter early, but I couldn't bear her being scolded by her mother.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, watching God bless them with several "fathers" and "righteous fathers" circling around their cousins, he was only one alone, which really made people feel very sad.

He sat down with his nephew Tengo, and sat honestly in his chair, watching everyone talk.

Seeing this, Cao Fu's heart softened, touched his nephew's head, and made a decision.

When the children finished eating, went out to set off fireworks, and only the cousin was left in the seat, Cao Fu said: "Big brother, give me the heavens!" After all, he is a child, so what can he do if he keeps supporting the third brother? Parents must take care of them. Even if he is my son, he can offer incense to the third brother. ”

Tianhu is Cao Shuo's only son, and according to the rules, when the Dongfu family is divided, he will replace the dead Cao Shuo and share the family property with his uncles and uncles.

If it is passed under Cao Fu's name, he is nominally Cao Fu's son, and he is no longer related to the family property.

When Cao Hao heard this, he said: "Fifth brother, you know that it is a good thing to cherish your nephew, but this kind of thing is not for you to decide, it still depends on the meaning of your younger siblings." Don't worry about it, wait until you discuss it with your younger siblings. ”

Back then, Cao Song loved the heavens and wanted to raise it under his own name, but he was finally unhappy because Jinghui couldn't do it.

This step-nephew, unlike adding a concubine, is to be raised in the name of a concubine. Cao Song is the head of the Eastern Mansion, and he has a knighthood, and Jinghui is selfish and understandable.

Cao Fu is a young son, he has no lord, and the relationship he is holding is smaller.

However, raising a child is raising a cat and a dog after all, if Cao Fu is hot to pass his nephew for a while, and has a biological child in the future, it is right and wrong to handle it badly.

Seeing that his cousin didn't nod, Cao Fu already had red circles in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Big brother...... My brother has something unspeakable...... I'm afraid that the heirs will hinder ......"

Cao Hao listened, opened his mouth, and after a long while, he got up and said, "This is not the place to talk, follow me to the study to talk." ”

The two brothers were silent and walked to the study in the front yard.

"When did you know? A few days ago, he asked Fang Lao to check? Don't misdiagnose, ask a few more andrologists to take a look! Cao Hao asked with concern.

Is it impotence? Or premature ejaculation?

My fifth brother has always been clean and self-conscious, and he didn't even have a room before he got married, why did he get this hidden disease?

For men, this is a big problem. At least it hurts self-esteem and loses self-confidence; The most important thing is that the surname is tyrannical and collapsed.

Although they are cousins, Cao Fu still blushed and was embarrassed to say more about this kind of private topic.

Cao Hao was afraid that he would feel sad in his heart, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "For men, this is nothing. Sometimes when you are tired and weak, you can make up for it. Don't deny illness and avoid medical treatment, I also had a time when my health was not proper in my early years, and then your sister-in-law found medicine to make up for me for half a year. I'm looking for a prescription to see if you can use it. ”

Cao Fu is no longer an ignorant teenager, since he heard that his cousin "exposed his shortcomings" has the meaning of comforting himself, he is grateful, and he feels funny.

"Then it's bothering big brother. But I still want to pass the heavenly protection, the concubine is different, and it will always be cheaper for him to get married in the future. Cao Fu said.

Cao Hao saw that he had made up his mind, so he said: "If my younger brothers and sisters are also willing, let's pass it." Tianhu and Tianyang's qualifications for marrying women, I, as an uncle, have long been prepared. You can tell your siblings about this first. ”

Cao Fu knew that his cousin gave the fourth brother 1,000 taels of silver, and he felt that he shouldn't accept it at that time. After all, the East Mansion and the West Mansion have long been separated, and the East Mansion has taken too much advantage, and there is no reason to continue to take advantage of it.

Cao Hao said at the time: "I only have you brothers, what is it if I give some silver?" There is a lot of entertainment and expenses for outsiders, and it is better to make up a few points if you can make up for it, which is better than being embarrassed in the hands of people outside. ”

These things should not be Cao Hao's heart, but the income of Dongfu is limited, and Zhao Jia's money is stingy, so Cao Fu can only be helpless.

Today, Cao Hao mentioned the qualifications of the juniors to marry women, and Cao Fu was even more embarrassed, and said busily: "Big brother, we are not children anymore, since we are fathers, we should take on the responsibility of being fathers." The eldest brother is all beared, and the younger brothers don't even have the strength to make money......"

He has always only been able to read, when he was a child, he liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and opera.

This is how much advantage the East Mansion took advantage of when the family was divided. He has a few brothers and is taken care of by his uncle and cousin.

After Cao Hao heard him mention it, he asked him what he planned for the future.

In officialdom, fathers, sons, and brothers are not allowed to use the yamen as officials. Two years later, Cao Xiang's academic administration expired, and if he returned to the Hanlin Academy, Cao Fu could not stay in the Hanlin Academy.

Cao Fu also seemed to think of this, and blinked his eyes and said, "Big brother, otherwise I will enter the sixth department as an official?" If you catch up with the officials, wouldn't it be a great good? ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was quite surprised. He originally thought that his cousin liked to repair books, and he was reluctant to go to the Hanlin Academy.

"Don't want to be a Hanlin anymore?" Cao Hao asked.

Cao Fu shook his head firmly and said, "If you don't do it, you can't support your family, what's so rare?" Boiling like Mr. Feng is not making people vomit to death. ”

Mr. Feng is the new master of Cao Mansion who succeeded Zheng Xie, and he is an old Hanlin who has no family background. After arriving at Cao's house, I ate meat for three days in a row, and I couldn't stop eating diarrhea, which made people sigh.

The two brothers, talking about gossip, have lost the embarrassing atmosphere of the party.

At midnight, when the elders were greeting the New Year, the two brothers dispersed.

Early the next morning, Cao Hao went to the front yard to find a farmer.

Cao Fu said that he had a "hidden disease", and at first Cao Hao thought it was true, but when he saw that he said this, he was only embarrassed, and did not see other emotions, Cao Hao was suspicious.

Cao Fu's mood is too normal, it seems abnormal......
