On the eighth day of the fifth month, taboo, breaking ground and opening; It is advisable to go to the beam and get married.

Outside the gate of Caofu, there are two strings of red lanterns, reflecting the red ground in the ground. In the air, there is the smell of gunpowder smoke from firecrackers. Today, it is said that Cao Xiang is marrying his son.

The wedding tent has long been erected, and since the sixth day of the new year, the east and west of Caojia have set up banquets to entertain guests.

Cao Yin changed into a new royal blue dress, and his spirit was much better. When the bride enters the door, the nephews in the second room will complete the family event, and he will be able to see the underground brothers after his death.

Cao Xiang went to greet him, Cao Song accompanied Cao Yin to the banquet, and Cao Hao took Cao Fu to pick up guests at the door.

Cao Hao's heart was a little abrupt, not to mention what kind of person the bride's father was, just said that this bride was younger than Chu Yu when she passed the door, fourteen years old, and less than thirteen years old.

Cao Hao originally thought that his father would want to quit this family, but he didn't expect him to admit it. Then there was Cao Yin Zhishi and Cao Xiang Henan in distress, and it was time for Cao Xiang to marry a wife.

Seeing that his cousin was lacking in spirit, Cao Fu stepped forward and whispered, "Is the eldest brother tired?" Why don't you go to the gatehouse to rest first, there is still some work before the sedan chair comes back. ”

Cao Hao turned his head and saw that Cao Fu's face was difficult to hide, and said, "I'm fine, but Xiao Wu, I can't be idle for a few days, can I still stand it?" ”

Because Cao Hao and Cao Song have to be on errands, these few days are about related affairs, but the youngest Cao Fu tries his best the most.

Cao Fu shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, it's mostly the housekeepers, I'm just a name." Speaking of this, he glanced back at the courtyard and said, "It's the uncle and the aunt, in the end, the eldest brother still persuades more." It's really tired of the elders, it's that we are not filial. ”

He is only seventeen years old, and now he is like a little adult, and Cao Hao can't help but sigh.

At this time, there will be a steward to return quickly, the bride has already gotten into the sedan chair, and she will be able to reach this end in about two quarters of an hour...... One time less, the inner courtyard of the East Mansion also received the news.

Zhaojia and Li are both dressed in formal clothes, and Chu Yu is also full of pearls, and he is a little more gorgeous than usual.

Tanhualang married, and there were many classmates of the former Guozijian among the guests, as well as the same list of Jinshi this year, and the champion and the list of eyes have arrived, which has attracted many people's attention. Even the female guests in the backyard are all mouthfuls of "champions".

Cao Xiang greeted him in person, and Zhao Jia's family couldn't stand the pampering of the female dependents, so he passed him over to greet everyone. Among the guests, there are several elders with high seniority, please be safe.

After seeing Cao Xiang's appearance, the eighteen-year-old champion Yuanlang really attracted everyone's praise. Even several cousins of the Zhaojia family couldn't help but complain in private that the Zhaojia family should not have been engaged early.

If you don't get married early, it's not more intimate than marrying a general's mansion.

Although they were all good words, Zhao Jia's family also listened to them with a smile, but they were a little proud in their hearts. Fortunately, he set up a marriage for Cao Xiang early, an idle clan general, except for his family's wealth, he didn't have any power.

It is true that the eldest daughter-in-law is from a wealthy family, but as an orphan girl, she has no father to rely on, which is not beneficial to her husband's career; The little daughter-in-law, although there are many uncles and brothers in her mother's family, she is under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is a slave in the eyes of the nobles. If it is the daughter-in-law of the concubine and overpowering these two daughters-in-law, the Zhaojia clan will not be able to tolerate it.

Today, with such a big joy, several aunts and grandmothers of the Cao family who got married will naturally come back to cheer. Cao Jia's identity is limited, and it is not easy to go out of the house at will, but he just makes people give heavy gifts. The two sisters, Cao Ying and Cao Yi, came over early.

Cao Ying accompanied several in-laws of Zhaojia Mansion to talk, while Cao Yi sat beside the Li family, listening to the Li family talking to several old ladies.

There were many people in the room, and there were many people waiting, and the smell of all kinds of head oil and rouge made Cao Yi unable to sit still. She whispered to Li: "Madam, before the sedan chair arrives, I'll go and see the second brother and sister." ”

Li clapped her hands and whispered, "Go ahead, tell your brother and daughter-in-law, don't worry about things outside your heart." Eight months is the most critical time, so keep it quiet. ”

Cao Yi responded, got up to tell everyone about his sin, and came out.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a big girl wearing gold and silver leading the ** people to come over with Tianhu, Tianyang and the tide. Seeing Cao Yi, everyone leaned over and called "aunt and grandmother".

Cao Yi saw Tianhu and Tianyang, but frowned slightly. She had only returned to the East Mansion of Cao Mansion a limited number of times, and when she saw that the maid was a little familiar, she said, "You are waiting next to the second wife?" What is your name. ”

The maid leaned over and replied, "Back to the third aunt and grandmother, the slave maid is called Hongmei, and this lady is waiting by her side." ”

While he was talking, he saw a young woman hurrying from a distance. It's not green chrysanthemum, which one?

She didn't see Cao Yi at first, ran to Hongmei, and said urgently: "Miss Hongmei, the fourth young master is a little uncomfortable since the next day, and I also ask the girl to talk to his wife, don't let him see guests today......"

Tianyang heard her voice, and had already stretched out his little hand from his arms and called: "Auntie, auntie......"

Hongmei, on the other hand, had already put on a straight face and said, "What did Grandma say?" Will the wife still hurt the fourth young master? The slave and maid came by order, and the aunt and grandmother had something to say to the wife. ”

Cao Yi was beside him, and when he saw that it was messy and unpresentable, he was upset. Seeing Hongmei's reckless appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and snorted coldly.

Lu Ju looked at Cao Yi at this time, and saw that she was looking at herself with an unkind face, and she was also a little afraid of this aunt, so she leaned down and said, "Slave maid, please aunt and grandmother." ”

Cao Yi said lightly: "What are you talking about today, you don't stay in your own room, what are you doing when you come out?" ”

Although Cao Yi is reluctant to marry the general's mansion, the married daughter can't manage the family. However, because he thought that he was a future brother and daughter-in-law, Cao Yi had also paid attention to Chunhua Gege in the past two years. is a little immature, but the surname is good, and she looks like a blessed one, but she is much stronger than her aunt.

Cao Xiang took a concubine before marrying a wife, which was already a wrong step; gave birth to the eldest son in advance, and in the future, the husband and wife got along, and there was a suspicion.

Cao Yi, who is an older sister, pities Cao Xiang, a half-brother, and naturally hopes that he will be well, and does not want him to suffer in the future.

In addition, Lu Ju is the maid next to Zhao Jia's family, and she is not much older than Cao Xiang, and in Cao Yi's eyes, she becomes Lu Ju restless and brings her master badly.

Although Cao Yi's voice was not harsh, it fell on Lu Ju's ears, which also made her heart tremble. She is not a fool, she naturally understands what Cao Yi means, today is Cao Xiang's great joy, and there is no room for her, a concubine, to come out to see people.

She was full of sourness, but she endured it, bowed her head and said, "Auntie, the slave doesn't dare to overstep." I really didn't expect my wife to make someone come to pick up the fourth young master, so I lost my sense of proportion......"

Cao Yi heard this and looked at her.

Yes, today, although it is not good for green chrysanthemum to appear in front of people, it is not good for Tianyang, a concubine, to hug him in front of his relatives, isn't this a shameless for the bride?

After Cao Yi looked at Tianyang and Tianhu, he could only complain in his heart that Zhaojia's confusion was confused. The big joy said, hugged the posthumous child to the relatives, and let everyone say what is good.

Cao Yi thought for a while and said to Hongmei: "You take the girl to see your wife." I quietly replied to your wife, and said that the two young masters would go with me to the East Cross Courtyard. ”

Hongmei hesitated, but she didn't dare to disobey Cao Yi's orders, so she responded curtly and entered the courtyard with the tide.

Seeing that Hongmei was gone, Lu Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Cao Yi: "You are older than the fourth master, you must persuade him well in the future." Don't forget to abide by your duty, and it is only right to serve the fourth master and the fourth grandmother well. ”

Lu Ju answered in a low voice, and Cao Yi led everyone to the east courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Su Xin coming out of the upper room with the maid. Cao Yi hesitated, called her aside, and commanded in a low voice: "The second wife is a little out of tune, the eldest wife and the eldest grandmother are in the next room, and it is not easy to talk. You are a daughter-in-law, look at the point of proportion, persuade if you can, persuade if you can, ask the second master to talk if you can't persuade you, don't let people see jokes. ”

Su Xin was clueless when he heard it, and when he saw the ** people taking out Tianhu and Tianyang, he was still confused.

After Cao Yi finished speaking, he led people into the upper room. Su Xin left a mother-in-law to follow and asked the reason in a low voice.

After the Cao family separated, although Cao Yi had also been to Dongfu, it was more than a formality, and it was rare to have so many words. Sitting on the edge of Jinghui's bed, she only felt a little funny, was she too idle, but she was idle.

The house was full of medicinal smells, and when she showed up in front of Jinghui, Cao Yi sent the ** people back with Tianhu and Tianyang.

Jinghui was about to get up, but was held down by Cao Yi: "You should rest yours, Mrs. Fang also gave a special order, asking you to recuperate in peace." It's just that I'm busy in the room and it's noisy, so I came to your side to avoid purity. ”

Jinghui blamed herself in her heart, she was sick at this time, but she was not busy.

Cao Yi looked at her expression and said with relief: "Who doesn't know that this house is all supported by you, and now he is tired of helping his brother-in-law do family affairs, who will complain about you." Just take a vacation, rest well, and give birth to a brother, which is a great blessing. ”

While the two were talking, a little maid came to report that the sedan chair had arrived at the mouth of the alley, and the wife asked her aunt to go back to ...... * This night, Cao Yin was very drunk, and took Li's hand in the middle of the night, and only said: "This life is over." ”

Hearing that Li was angry and funny, he pushed Cao Yin and said: "The master only has a nephew in his eyes, and he forgot to ......live forever."

Cao Yin closed his eyes and said: "Xiao Qicheng is married, it's his brother's business......"

This night, Cao Hao whispered to Chu Yu: "The bride is really younger. ”

Chu Yu was a little stunned: "It's the age of the flower bones...... Am I old......"

Cao Hao listened, only speechless. Chu Yu is twenty-three years old, and she is just a recent college graduate in the future, but now as the mother of two children, she feels that she is no longer beautiful.

"What are you talking about, I'm two years older than you, could it be that my lady dislikes me......" Cao Hao said with disgust, and there was already a lot of lingering in the quilt.

That night, Zhao Jiashi lay on the kang and ate several bags of cigarettes, which made the room full of smoke.

Hongmei was lying on the ground, she was already tired, and she was still stiff, for fear that she would fall asleep, so she pinched her thigh twice. In a daze, I listened to Zhao Jia's words: "She loves to be heartfelt, hmph, this time I will know who is my brother, and I won't climb the high branches......"

This night, Lu Ju heard the slight snoring from the night maid, got up and walked to the window, looked at the light in the upper room, and stood until dawn. The heart is like a knife, but not a single tear is shed. It's not that there are no tears, and I don't dare to cry. Being in this position, you are not qualified to say "wronged". If something happens to her because of her, there is no place for their mother and son in the house.

On this night, Bao Die guarded the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, sat all night, and secretly prayed that the bride was good-tempered. Knowing the son Mo Ruo's mother, although the son obeyed the instructions of the family, he married his wife. But he is not a merciless person, and he will not bear to let the mother and daughter of Green Chrysanthemum be wronged. If the bride is a tolerant person, it is fine, and the family is harmonious; Otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble will become.

This night, enduring the shyness and pain, Chunhua became the bride of the Cao family from the Gege of the General's Mansion...... and the bride followed Cao Xiang to the ancestral hall in the West Mansion.

Sun Jue and his wife, Seshtu and his wife all came over. Chunhua is tall and tall, and she looks older than children of the same age. It's just that when he speaks, he is still a little immature, and he is very lovely.

Not to mention Li and Chu Yu, even Cao Hao met and was quite satisfied. Although he looks immature, he behaves in a proper manner, with a round little face, which is quite delicate. No wonder Cao Yi praised a few times in private, compared to those arrogant Manchurian Gege, Chunhua is not bad.

Not to mention how the fourteen-year-old bride accepts the tea ceremony from her husband's concubine and prepares a meeting gift for her concubine. Cao Hao's side, after taking care of the happy events at home, began to devote all his efforts to helping the sixteenth elder brother plan the bank.

There are not many days left before the time for buying shares indicated on the post, and the sixteenth elder brother is so busy that he can't see anyone all day. Today's royal palace invites each other, and tomorrow's Baylor Mansion invites each other, and the questions are naturally about the "bank".

The sixteenth elder brother is the most sleek, not only does he want these people to pay for money, but he doesn't want to carry it himself, and he will talk in a foggy way, fooling everyone into a daze.

The last time I had something to do with the clans was the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs redeeming gold, and I did it twice, and after deducting various expenses, I got a profit of 30%. This time, the bank has made a lot of noise, and it is another twenty years of income, who is not tempted?

Tempted to be tempted, not every palace and Baylor Mansion are rich, and there are many people who eat food and cannot make ends meet.

Please sixteen elder brothers, in addition to wanting to explore the details, there is also a part that wants to make a name and then slowly raise money.

For such a person, the sixteenth elder brother can only be helpless, and he is really helpless.

In this capital, there are more than a dozen princes, more than ten county kings, dozens of Beile and Beizi, and nearly 100 princes and generals. The shares of this bank are limited, and there is not enough to divide them at all, so where is there any credit?

If you can't raise any money, you'll have to wait. In the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has other errands, and it is the same if it is mixed again.

Not to mention anything else, even on the side of Brother Jiu, there was a lot of movement. I heard that he had raised a lot of money, and Cao Hao and the Sixteenth Elder Brother had also made a special trip to discuss this matter, and I didn't know how bold the Ninth Elder Brother would be.

Not to mention others, it is the fifth elder brother, the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, and the ninth elder brother is named, and he can contribute capital and collect six shares. The other generals in the clan, Beizi, and Brother Jiu can borrow two more names, and they can make up more.

No matter how much, the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao don't dislike much. It's just that I'm a little worried that if Brother Jiu is too concerned about the bank, he will interfere in the affairs of this side.

After all, he is the honor of the prince, and among the excerpts of the sixteen elder brothers this time, the ninth elder brother and Yaerjiang Ah are all co-organized. If Brother Jiu wants to intervene, it can be regarded as justified.

"If Brother Jiu were smart, he wouldn't interfere directly. When it comes to the Internal Affairs Office and so many clans, if there is a little mistake, he is not pleasing inside and out, and it is better to sit back and wait for dividends. The sixteenth elder brother pondered for a long time and said.

When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little worried about the sixteenth elder brother, and said, "Isn't the responsibility all on the sixteenth master?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao with a smile and said, "Even Prince Jian can say that he can rest assured that you are doing things, what else do I have to worry about?" ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he could only stroke his forehead, the more careful he became, and the more careful his thinking became, for fear of missing something.

After all, everything is "on paper", and if he is asked to pat his chest and guarantee the ticket, he will have no bottom.

Fortunately, there is also Han Jiang's "insider", who has made up a few ancient financial knowledge for Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother, which makes the two of them talk and add a little confidence.

The sixteenth elder brother was serious in front of Han Jiang's family, but in private, he chatted with Cao Hao a lot.

He complained that Cao Hao was not angry, such a big beauty had not been eaten in front of him for several years; I sighed again that Han Jiang's surname, a good woman, behaved so old-fashioned, not at all likable.

With such a look, if you change your background, you should also be the prince Fujin. It's a pity that the phoenix fell in the chicken coop, and was smoked by the copper smell to change the taste, and finally fell down, losing the charm and suppleness that a woman should have.

The sixteenth elder brother is an amorous surname, and Cao Haoyuan is still worried that he will be worried about the Han Jiang clan again after a long time. Unexpectedly, Han Jiang's surname made the sixteenth elder brother stunned.

Regardless of ancient and modern, most of the women that men like are birds and humans. Being able to attach yourself and make yourself play the charm of manhood is a good match in the hearts of men.

Being self-reliant and self-reliant like Han Jiang's and being a little better than ordinary men is prohibitive.

Cao Hao is also an ordinary person, and his beauty is in front, so he has to secretly take a few more looks. But it's just a few more glances, and I can't give birth to the idea of folding flowers.

Being able to leave a name in front of the emperor, is Han Jiang's businessman, also considered a success?

* Inside Andingmen, Prince Yong's Mansion.

The fourth elder brother's face was a little more loving, he looked at the young man sitting in front of him, and said, "I have already made up for your errand in the Inspectorate, and you will be able to recuperate for a while, and if you feel better, you will go over to be on an errand." ”

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly got up and said, "My nephew has thanked the prince." ”

The fourth elder brother waved his hand and said, "It's all my own family, sit down and talk." I know that you are arrogant and want to be admitted to the Jinshi, but you will be uncomfortable if you don't let you participate in the exam. But you should take care of your own body, and you will not be able to survive God. After a jinshi passed the exam, he burned his body and made his relatives and elders angry, which is unfilial. ”

The young man was Nian Xi, the eldest son of Nian Qianyao, and after hearing the words of the fourth elder brother, he lowered his head and said, "The prince doesn't have to worry about his nephew, his nephew has already thought about it." ”

The fourth elder brother nodded and said, "It's good to open if you want to, let's go down." Write a letter to your Amma, and you will be officially outstanding, and your Amma will be happy when you hear it. ”

Nian Xi went out in response, and the fourth elder brother was silent for a while, and called the little servant to pass Dai Jin over.

"Regarding the bank, is there any movement in the Third Elder Brother's Mansion and the Fifth Elder Brother's Mansion?" The fourth elder brother asked.

"If you go back to the master, I heard that the third master's mansion will raise money again, but there is no movement in the fifth master's mansion." Dai Jin replied......

(To be continued)
