Just in time for the summer heat, the hard work of resting during the day is long, from Guangzhou to Jiangzhong, Cao Ju "took a month and a half."

When I arrived in Jiangning. It's the end of July.

In the north, at the end of July, the autumn breeze is already rising, and the summer heat is gradually disappearing. On the Jiangning side, the temperature is still high, and the pedestrians are getting thinner and thinner during the day. Until sunset on the West Mountain, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, it is named, and there are light songs and dances everywhere.

The Cheng family has another courtyard in Jiangning, and Cao Mei does not have a guest house. was directly invited to his home by Cheng Mengxing.

Take a trip. After months of hard work, Cheng Mengxing never wanted to go out again. Although he has a wider range of knowledge on the outside. But he is clothed and fed, and he is used to being a slave, so he naturally can't bear the pain of traveling.

Speaking of which. Although Jiangning is not Cao Mei's hometown, it also supports the upper half of his hometown. Since he came to this world, to the forty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign in Beijing, he has been here for ten years.

Since the day. He slowed down as he passed through the Weaving Mansion.

Thinking about many years ago, every time I came out of the weaving mansion, I took a carriage to study in a private villa in the back street.

The uncle who had been in charge of his enlightenment had been dead for many years. In Jiangning City, there are a few Cao family members sporadically, and they are all far away.

Walking into Jiangning City and having dinner in the Cheng family's courtyard, Cao Yi still didn't feel real.

Last time back. It was still fifty years of Kangxi, and after he was released to Yizhou, he came back with Chu Yu to visit his parents. Then. He was still thinking about the fate of the Cao family in his heart, with a little apprehension.

Now. The Cao family finally escaped from the quagmire of seizing the heir, and there was no trouble of running out of treasury silver.

Mr. Zhuang, but his father went away one by one.

He came to Jiangning to visit Wei Xin's parents and children, but what if he went

You must not say outright, your son's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Cheng Mengxing has been with him for several months, knowing his concerns, and persuaded: "If friends have a relationship, if they travel thousands of miles to the south, they have already done their best, and there is no need to worry too much." ”

Cao Yi smiled bitterly: "Everyone has parents, but it is difficult to bear the old man and the old lady of the Wei family."

rested in the Cheng family's courtyard for two days, so that people could inquire about the details of the Wei family. The old man and the old lady of the Wei family were built in. The sons of the Wei family have all branched out, but they have not yet separated.

Now. The head of the Wei family's room has already said that he will make a big decision in a few days. Wei Xin's children are all in the Wei family's old house and are raised by their mothers.

these years. There were also rumors that the old man and the old lady of the Wei family wanted to say goodbye to Wei Xin, but in the end, they all came to an end. After all, Wei Xin is already over the age of standing, and there are five concubines who are out of women. It's not easy to say that the family is suitable.

In the eyes of the Wei family, Ida, who is known as the "Rakshasa", cannot be regarded as Wei Xin's wife at all, and they don't admit it.

Ponder over. Cao Po still didn't go to Wei's house, but asked Xiaoman to take his name card and invite Wei Xin's brother Wei Ren to come over to meet.

He didn't plan to visit relatives and friends in Jiangning, so he didn't use Cao Fang to come forward, because he didn't want others to get the news and socialize.

For more than ten years, the traces of the Cao family seem to have been erased from Jiangning, which is very good.

When Wei Ren came over, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

The last time Cao Yi saw him, he was in the prime of life, and now that he looks at it, he is already not confused, and his body is slightly blessed. Silver cream in the braids.

The moment I saw Cao Yi. He was a little excited, and he was about to kneel down.

With Cao Yin leaving Jiangning, he also resigned from his position in the weaving mansion and became a free township. Cao Yi inherited his father's title, and the two have different identities.

Cao Yi was willing to move, stepped forward and held his arm. said: "Brother Wei is polite, you don't need these vulgar etiquette, please sit down and talk." ”

While speaking, the guest and the host sat down.

"I haven't seen him for ten years, the eldest prince is still radiant, but Wei Ren is old." Wei Ren has been on an errand in the weaving house for more than ten years. can be regarded as watching Cao Mei grow up, and after sitting down, he looked at Cao Mei and said with emotion.

"I was supposed to go to ask my uncle and aunt for peace, but I was afraid that the second elder would see me and think of the fifth brother, and I was worried." So let's invite Brother Wei to come over today. Cao Wei looked at Wei Ren with a heavy heart.

This Brother Wei also loved his brother very much in his early years, and when Cao Mei and Wei Xin "got married", he was worried about his younger brother and begged Cao Mei.

However, everyone has selfish intentions, and there is a greedy wife in the family, and the good brother who used to love his brother also began to be jealous of his younger brother, and transferred all the property that the family later purchased to the sacrificial field.

Cao Yi remembered clearly that Wei Xin was not idle and wanted to go abroad to see the world whimsically, but was jealous of his siblings, expelled by his parents, and discouraged, so he went overseas.

Seeing Cao Yi's heavy tone, Wei Ren put away his old thoughts. He said: "The fifth brother is too, even if you blame the old man and the old lady for driving them out that year, they shouldn't have no news back for several years." My father didn't say anything, but he looked forward to it every year. Tee is ruthless, even if he doesn't think about his parents. Also think about how many children. ”

"The fifth brother went abroad in the year he took the bride home." Cao Po raised his head and looked

"Going overseas? Okay, why do you want to go overseas again? There are more than 30 people, and they are not worrying. When Wei Ren heard this, he couldn't think of what was beside him, so he couldn't help but shake his head and said with a little disgust.

Speaking of which. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped talking, and looked at Cao Yu blankly: "The eldest son" eldest son, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, "Isn't it with the younger brother-in-law in the south?" ”

"The fifth brother set off from Guangzhou in October of the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi and sailed to Europa. He had planned to return last summer, but he did not return for a long time, and he was not heard from from his father-in-law's house. I got the news a few years ago that I would go south in February and arrive in Guangzhou in April. Cao Yi recounted what he had seen and heard in the past few months in a calm tone.

What Ida relayed, Cao Mei did not conceal. Tell Wei Ren the truth.

When Wei Ren heard this, his face began to turn pale, and he said for a while: "My brother and sister gave birth to a son-in-law, that is the flesh and blood of the Wei family, how can I leave outside" I will ask someone to pick it up"

"The child was entrusted to his aunt, which was the last words of the fifth sister-in-law. Moreover, this child looks like his mother, and is different from my dynasty. Cao Wei said lightly.

Even if the old man and the old lady of the Wei family see the affection for their own grandson, they will not dislike Little Gary, but what about others?

Wei Ren at the moment. He was already distraught, and his eyes were a little dazed.

Even if he really had a knot in his heart for this younger brother in his early years, he never thought that his younger brother would end up with no bones one day.

Gu Bu was in front of Cao Mei, his eyes were already sour, and in front of him were his younger brother's young and flamboyant appearance.

He stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, stood up, and said in a dumb voice: "Eldest son, there is still something at home today, come back another day to say hello to the eldest prince." ”

Cao Yi stood up and said, "Brother Wei, uncle and aunt, let's hide it."

"Hmm. Well! Wei Ren was angry: nodded and hugged Feng. Turning around, Yaroku sat down. remembered the scene many years ago, taking Cao Song and Gu Na to fight with Wei Xin on the street.

At that time, Wei Xin did not have the sleek and sophisticated appearance of later. It's like a little bully who is arrogant.

Afterward. Everyone was mixed together, I don't know if he and Gu were too calculated, and Wei Xin also transformed from a little wolf into a cunning fox.

Man lives. Sure enough, it's better to be confused. If Wei Xin hadn't seen it so clearly, he would have been hurt by his brother and sister-in-law's greed, and he wouldn't have chosen to leave his hometown."

It's not that if you want to be confused, you can be confused.

Just like Wei Ren, he wanted to lie to himself and tell him that his fifth brother just had no news and would be safe; also wanted to deceive himself, the fifth brother left home angrily and didn't do his own thing.

But. The easiest thing for people to deceive is themselves.

He returned home and hid in the study, tears falling non-stop. He is the eldest brother, and Wei Xin is the youngest son, with a difference of more than ten years in two years.

Since Soul Letter was still in his infancy, he watched his younger brother grow up little by little.

Wei's family. Mrs. Wei is old, and she has long been in charge, and Grandma Wei has been in charge of the family for many years.

When her husband came home, she received news that he had returned. Waited left and right, but did not see her husband come back. She just couldn't sit still. asked the maid to ask, Xiao's husband went to the study, and she held the hand of a mother-in-law. Trembling nodded his little feet and walked to the study.

Seeing that there was no palm light in the study, she pulled down her face at that time, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.

In fact. Wei Ren is an excellent character, and he is not a womanizer. It's just that Grandma Wei is over forty years old, and Xiao's self is old and decrepit, so she is a little suspicious, for fear that her husband will be hooked up by the young vixen, and she can't wait to stare at Wei Ren for twelve hours a day.

There is no light in this study, and it is on fire in the dark.

If you don't hear Uncle Wei's sigh, Xu can still coax yourself and say that if you don't hold the lamp, you just won't be inside. But now, Grandma Wei is about to crush her silver teeth, stroking her chest, instinctively out of breath, and she can't wait to kick the door open immediately to "catch the rape"

But. She has been a daughter-in-law for many years, and she knows that no matter how much she hates in her heart, sometimes it is not easy to tear her face. She looked at the dark window. sneered twice in his heart, beckoning his mother-in-law to turn around.

When the net entered the second gate, I saw Wei Xin three. The three brothers, Wei Wenjie, Wei Wenzhi, and Wei Wenying, came out of the old lady's upper room.

Thereinto. Wei Wenjie is the oldest, fifteen years old, Wei Wenzhi is twelve years old, and Wei Wenying is six years old.

Seeing the eldest aunt coming, the three brothers hurriedly turned sideways and gave way.

Grandma Wei didn't want to see these nephews in her heart, and she didn't treat her harshly on her face, she put down her steps, with love on her face, and said, "Is this beating the old lady out of the room?" ”

The three brothers responded, and Grandma Wei hated it in her heart. The son she gave birth to is the grandson of the Wei family, but the old man and the old lady are eccentric, and they love the youngest son the most in their early years. Now he loves the grandson of his youngest son the most.

She hated it tightly in her heart, but she smiled on her face, and said to Wei Wenjie: "Wenjie, I heard that your uncle came back from a party out, go to the study to see, did you drink too much?" ”

Wei Wenjie hesitated, answered softly, and asked Wen Zhi to send Wen Ying to his aunt first, and he went to the study by himself.

Grandma Wei looked at her nephew's back and thought about it, but she still followed from a distance and came to the study.

Unexpectedly. After Wei Wenjie called "Uncle" to smear and entered the study, there was no chicken, flying and dog jumping as Grandma Wei imagined, but Wei Ren's crying.

Grandma Wei. Holding on to the root of the wall, I was a little stunned, I really don't know which one this is playing.

Next. When Wei Ren came to the door again, Cao Wei was quite shocked.

But after one night's work, Wei Ren seemed to be ten years old, his eyes were red and bloodshot inside, and his voice was hoarse.

Meet Cao Yi. He took a long look at it and said, "The eldest prince Gao Yi, Wei has taken his brother to thank you." ”

That's what I said. It was Cao Mei's filial piety period, and he worked tirelessly to go south to Guangzhou.

Cao Yi didn't want to be his thanks, not only when the blood relationship was a small relative, but even if there was no blood relationship, he was also a relative.

He asked Xiaoman to bring a small box, which was slowly opened, and it was as thick as a stack of silver tickets.

"If you want to come to Brother Wei, you also know that the fifth brother's business in Guangzhou in the early years was taken care of for me. Although he was not a good father, he still remembered these children. At present, the 30,000 taels of silver are the dowry funds he left for his children. It was originally a family affair of the Wei family. I should not interfere, but since I am entrusted by others, I must be faithful. The 30,000 taels of silver I kept it temporarily on behalf of my nephews and nieces. Cao Yi said.

Didn't say it. It was he who prepared something else: ten thousand taels, and wanted to buy property for Wei Xin's children.

When Wei Ren heard this, his face became more and more pale, and his eyes showed a bit of bitterness. It's not that he is greedy for the 30,000 taels of silver. Instead, he understood the meaning of Cao Ming's words.

The younger brother has long had the intention of entrusting the orphan, but he did not entrust it to his parents and brother, but to Cao Yuan. If it weren't for his family making him sad too much, how could he have the idea of caring for orphans at such a young age?

Time. Wei Ren didn't know whether he was remorseful or hateful, and he was speechless in a daze.

"Uncle and aunt, I won't go to see you; A few nephews, I was bothered that Brother Wei arranged for me to meet. Seeing that Wei Ren didn't speak, Cao Yi said: "I heard that your mansion has been divided in the past two years, and it is not easy for these children to take care of them without their parents. ”

Although Cao Mian didn't mean to blame, Wei Ren had already blushed and said, "The two nieces were raised by our old lady, and now they have begun to learn to be a female celebrity. My nephews are also in school. They are all my own nephews, please rest assured that the eldest son. ”

Cao Yi sighed and said, "Brother Wei, you have many brothers, there will always be a day when there will be a family, that time." How about calling a few children? ”

Wei Ren's eyes were already red, and he said, "Don't worry, eldest prince." My nephews are also sons, and I won't agree to separate my nephews until they get married. ”

Cao Yi looked at Wei Ren for a long time and said, "Brother Wei, these children are your nephews and my righteous sons and daughters. The nieces are fine. Find a good family, and you can have a lifelong event; The nephews will make a living in the future, but they will have to bother to arrange. ”

Wei Ren hurriedly said: "Eldest son, my third brother and sister live alone and have no heirs. Over the years, the fifth brother and youngest son Wenying have been hurt the most. She once mentioned the matter of succession to our old man and old lady. Because the fifth brother is not there, it has not been successful. Wen Ying is only six years old, and it is the time when he needs his mother's upbringing. followed his three aunts, which is also appropriate. Wen Jie and Wen Zhi are now studying poetry and books, and when they come out of the imperial examination in the future, they will have to be taken care of by the eldest prince

Birthdays have passed. Roar, roar, I will only be twenty years old in the future. Don't pretend to be fifteen anymore.
