Cao Mansion, study.

"Brother......" Cao Song came back from duty, and heard the porter say that Cao Hao had sent someone to look for him. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still came directly to Xifu.

Cao Hao saw that Cao Song was still wearing a guard's costume and said, "This is just coming back from the palace?" Do you know about the second wife's going to Yongquan's family? ”

Cao Song shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Okay, what are you going to Yongquan's family for?" A few days ago, I mentioned it, saying that my aunt came to speak for Yong's family. It seems that some ears have softened, and I have made it clear to my mother that this family business cannot be knotted. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was quite relieved, finally his younger brother was not confused, and he could listen to his own words. In a few words, he simply said that Zhao Jia's family would visit Yong and the whole family would see each other.

Cao Song's side was already dumbfounded, and muttered, "Why is it involved in his family again?" ”

Cao Hao raised his head and said, "Second brother, I also told you about the grievances between Yongquan and King Jian's mansion. Not to mention that Yongquan has bad intentions and wants to use our family; Let's just say that his surname, if he is not an ordinary and arrogant person, how can there be evil servants who hurt people? Marrying such a family not only ruins your reputation, but you don't know how much trouble you will get involved in the future. Even if my father was in Beijing, he would not agree to this family business. ”

Cao Song's side, thinking of the pretentiousness of Yongquan, he had no sympathy at all, and said hatefully: "This is a yellow ribbon, or a play, but it is good at singing and writing." I don't know what means I used, otherwise I wouldn't have caused my mother to change her mind. Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, what should I do now?" ”

"Proper method, I don't have this for a while. I just heard from your sister-in-law that the second aunt wants to go to the General's Mansion on the 18th, and you must stop this. If that's the case, there's no room for retiring. Cao Hao said.

Cao Song nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll go back and tell my mother." ”

"Second brother, there are some things you should also take on. Say it well, for the sake of peace in the future, you have to make up your mind. Cao Hao thought for a moment and commanded.

Cao Song responded, Cao Hao waved his hand, and said, "It's not too early, let's go back first......"

After Cao Song left, Cao Hao did not leave the study immediately. He sat behind his desk, thinking about Yongquan, who was good at singing and writing, and also felt a headache.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Cao family's father and son are two Jingtang, and the scenery is infinite. It's just that because their father and son are both respectful people, they don't have any reason to gossip.

There is a person who can cry and be good, and if this retreat is inappropriate, it will make the Cao family bear the notoriety of "arrogance". If you don't retreat, with the in-laws of Yongquan, it will be like planting a bomb.

Cao Hao let out a long breath, stretched out his hand, and poured half a cup of tea for himself.

Looking at the golden tea soup in the white jade tea cup, Cao Hao's mind remembered a sentence, life is a coffee table, with cups and utensils on it.

For a moment, he was smiling, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.

Looking out the window, it was already getting dark, and I heard footsteps under the porch.

Cao Hao looked at the door, wondering if Chu Yu had something to send someone over, and saw someone open the curtain and come in, it was Chu Yu.

Seeing that Chu Yu was personally carrying a glass lamp, and not a maid behind him followed, Cao Hao got up and said, "Why did you come out by yourself?" Be careful with slippery roads. ”

Chu Yu put the lamp aside and replied with a smile: "I just came out of my wife's yard, and I heard that Eji was still in the study, so I came over to give Elu a lamp." ”

Seeing that Cao Hao's face could not hide the gloomy color, Chu Yu asked in a low voice: "Forehead, but are you worried about today's matter?" ”

Cao Hao nodded, let his wife sit on the side of the kang, and poured her a cup of tea. The husband and wife talked while eating tea.

"Yes, I thought that I would explain it clearly with my second brother, so I didn't have to worry about it anymore, but I didn't expect it to be extraneous again." Cao Hao said.

Chu Yu took a sip of tea and said, "When I saw the forehead come out, my expression was wrong, and my wife asked if it was annoyed." I'm afraid that my wife will get angry, and my speech will be diverted. ”

"Are there any examples of divorce in the clan in terms of marriage?" Cao Hao thought about his wife's identity and asked.

Chu Yu thought for a while and said, "Even if ordinary people break the contract and withdraw from their relatives, it is also a big taboo." No matter what the relationship between the two families is, if there is a matter of retiring relatives, I am afraid that it will be a grudge, and two or three generations will not be able to resolve it. If it is a clan and there are many relatives, I am afraid that it will not be one or two families. Even if the girl is not satisfied, it is more appropriate to marry into the door as an ornament than to break the contract and withdraw from the family. ”

Cao Hao only felt that his chest was stuffy, and he was calculated for no reason, and no one was comfortable in his heart.

Not to mention, forming this family business, in the future, Yongquan will be the same generation as Cao Yin, and when Cao Hao sees him, he will also have a nephew ceremony. Thinking of this, Cao Hao was upset for a while, picked up the teacup, and drank the remaining half of the tea in one gulp.

When Chu Yu saw her husband like this, she was also worried.

She poured tea for Cao Hao, pondered for a while, and said, "Don't you like Yongquan's character if you don't want to marry this family?" ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Yes, you haven't seen it, his style is not half a point of responsibility, like a slug, which makes people look disgusting, and beware of him coming to the yin." Such a person should be kept away, who wants to provoke it? ”

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "E, there are in-laws in this world who are close to each other, and there are also those who are estranged and have lost contact. Maybe there is a way to save the face of the two families...... It can also make the two families ...... far away."

Cao Hao was having a headache because he couldn't think of a proper way, and he was already thinking about writing to his father, but he was afraid that he would be delayed for too long on the way back.

Hearing Chu Yu say that there was a way, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What method, come and talk about it?" My brain hurts when I think about it. ”

"If Chunhua Gege is replaced, it is the 'benevolence and righteousness' of the General's Mansion, and our family is not good to treat Chunhua; if we still marry Yun Gege according to the original marriage contract, it is our grievance, and it is not good to ......raise our voices in the General's Mansion," Chu Yu said.

When Cao Hao heard this, he frowned and said, "Isn't this still a marriage?" With Yongquan's surname, if you are cheeky, you will also put it up......"

"Yun Gege's matter, the paper can't hold the fire, and some gossip comes out. If we get married, we will lose our reputation in the end. If the husband and wife are not in harmony because of this, it is reasonable......" Speaking of this, Chu Yu glanced at her husband's face, and the rest of the words were a little unspeakable.

After all, it's not a glorious means, and if the husband blames it, he will be self-defeating.

"And then......" Cao Hao's mind spun, and he seemed to see some eyebrows, and hurriedly asked.

"Then, Yun Gege 'recuperated', and the fourth brother married an equal wife to run the family, which should be reasonable." Chu Yu replied softly.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Cao family is still the one who has been wronged, and it is benevolent and righteous not to divorce his wife. Therefore, the Cao family is far away from the General's Mansion, which is also reasonable, so that people can't find mistakes.

"It's a way to do it...... It's hard for you to think that my side is going all the way to the dark, and I'm only thinking about how to get out of my family. But thinking about other clans, I am also afraid of leaving trouble. When Cao Hao heard this, he looked at his wife, and he was really impressed.

Chu Yu was a little uncomfortable, touched his face, looked a little uncomfortable, and said, "Forehead ......"

Cao Hao felt that it was not very appropriate in his heart, but seeing that his wife was so cowering, and he was afraid that she would lose the courage to speak, he had already reached out and shook his wife's hand, and said: "When it is time to brainstorm, it is really my virtuous help, I am really worried......

When Chu Yu heard this, his heart trembled, he squeezed out a little smile, and asked, "Forehead...... What to worry about......"

"With such a smart mother, plus my wise father, God bless the three of them to grow up and pay it back, and they can't be honest and benevo......lent," Cao Hao replied with a smile.

In a word, Chu Yu was also worried, added a smile, and said with a smile: "Doesn't it often say that you have to be humble and not boast?" ”

Cao Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "The husband also said to the lady that 'being too modest is deceitful', and the lady forgot ......"

Seeing her husband's expression, Chu Yu was a little confused, and said in a low voice: "Eyu has always been kind to people, and he acts above board...... I don't think the method is a bit ...... Some ......" At the end, her voice grew lower, after all, she had come up with those methods.

"Is the means dishonorable?" Cao Hao looked at his wife so cramped, took her hand and got up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, and said, "Look outside, what do you see?" ”

Although there are still a few days, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, but because it is cloudy tonight, there are clouds in the sky, covering the stars and moon, and only a pitch black remains.

"There are enough shadows, and with the light here, you can roughly see the shadow wall over there." Chu Yu looked around, pointed to the shadow wall in the distance, and replied.

"You look up." Cao Hao pointed to the sky.

"...... above" Chu Yu raised his head, looked at the sky for a long time, and said: "Forehead, it's too dark, I can't really see it." ”

"What you see is the dark sky. This time is divided into white and night. When people live, there is a time when they stay in the dark field, where can they always be under the sun. Cao Hao said slowly.

Chu Yu didn't seem to understand it, but she could also feel the intention of her husband's words, and she was comforting herself.

It is rare for the husband and wife to say such a thing, and after Cao Hao finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

He turned his head and said to Chu Yu: "Catch up with Ming, you get another booklet, let's not remember the recipes, just remember these truths." In addition to knowing it in our own hearts, we also have to teach our children to know this. Although I don't hope that my son will become a dragon and my daughter will become a phoenix, I have to be half a sperm to live freely and comfortably in this world. ”

Speaking of later, Cao Hao seems to have had a lot of epiphany.

In the end, the husband and wife are connected, Chu Yu can also sense his pleasure when she stands by her husband and watches, and her mood improves: "It's really fast, in a blink of an eye, several of them are so old." At dinner, Mrs. was still talking about Hengshengsheng, and it was not long enough. ”

Cao Hao remembered the old thing and said: "That was the year before last, and it was still the scene of the little guy in his infancy. The second child of our family will be a promising one in the future. At the beginning of this journey, everyone followed the suspense, for fear that something would go wrong. Even I was a little scared in my heart, wondering if I should find someone to foster first. But most of the herders I met along the way were nomadic herders. The vast prairie has been sent out, and it is not easy to find it again. But he came to Beijing safely and grew up solidly......"
