Amethyst invited Cao Hao to come over because the twenty-third of this month was Chu Yu's twentieth birthday.

The twenty-fifth of this month is the full moon of immortality, and now Chu Yu is busy with this, but her own life is not Zhang Luo.

There are in-laws on it, and as a daughter-in-law, she is not good at living for herself with a thick face.

Amethyst remembers that this is not just a birth, but also a twenty-year-old whole life, even if it is not a big deal, it should be a good preparation for life.

It's just that as a servant, she can't make her own opinions, so she asked Cao Hao to discuss, how to get back to the old lady in this life, and how to Zhang Luo.

Cao Hao is a man, in the end, he has some intentions, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but be ashamed, these people were busy getting acquainted with the information of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and they neglected this.

If Amethyst doesn't mention it, I'm afraid he really won't be able to think of it.

To have a treat, but also to feast on friends.

Because it happened to be only one day away from the full moon of Changsheng, Cao Hao thought about it for a while and proposed that he could hold a three-day banquet to connect with Changsheng's full moon wine.

It's just that there are elders in the family, and after Cao Hao discussed these things with Amethyst, he couldn't be self-sufficient, so he asked Amethyst to go to the Orchid Courtyard and asked the Li family to show him.

When Amethyst heard this, she looked stunned, and then nodded with a light smile.

This is not much more than twenty-three, Cao Hao can't help but wonder what to send Chu Yu.

Since Chu Yu entered the door, it has been five years.

Thinking of the little girl who was not yet full of stature, the voice of "Don't you like Chu Yu" is still in her ears, and Cao Hao's heart is warm.

These two have had a new fun recently.

I can't say that it's good to mix oil in honey, but it's also dark and early to turn off the lights and go to London together.

Amethyst hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Uncle, if you want to entertain guests, this Dong female official ......"

When Cao Hao heard this, he thought of the person in the guest room in the house, and couldn't help but have a headache, and stroked his forehead and said, "What did Mrs. say over there?" ”

Amethyst replied: "My wife is in confinement and doesn't want to see outsiders. I saw them a few days ago when I first arrived, and I had already sent things and things over, and I told them not to be lazy. Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that Lady Dong has been in the mansion for a long time, how to act, does the uncle have an idea in his heart?" ”

Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "What else can there be?" Since he was ordered by the Queen Mother to come and take care of his wife, it is naturally up to his wife to arrange. After a few days, my wife came out of confinement, and let that person accompany her in the Orchid Courtyard. ”

Having said that, he also has no bottom in his heart.

originally wanted to ask Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang to give them an idea, but the two of them seemed to have made an appointment and kept silent.

Cao Hao himself, every time he thinks about it, he can't help but feel a headache.

Now, thinking of Cao Yin, Cao Hao can't help but have some epiphany.

He is not the head of the family, and he has both parents. Besides, the things in the inner house were not something that he, a man, needed to worry about.

This female official of the Dong family, whether he was ordered by the Holy Order, or the decree of the Queen Mother, where does he need to bother to settle it?

As long as you intervene, it's really unclear inside and out.

Thinking about this, Cao Hao's heart was full of sorrow.

Because the three children of the East Warm Pavilion of Wutong Garden live in a panic, Tianyou and Hengsheng are now placed in the upper room of Kwai Yuan.

Just now, the two little guys were not there, and they were carried by the maid and went to the courtyard of the Tian family to find the Zuo Cheng brothers to play. Now it was getting dark, and the two brothers had just returned.

Seeing that Cao Hao was there, the two brothers greeted their father in style.

Cao Hao chatted with his sons for a few words, and wondered whether to invite Xixi in the next year. These hairy boys will all be four or five years old next year.

Tianyou's little face was a little more serious, and he hesitated for a while before he asked in a low voice, "Father, will you also become a wooden card in the future?" ”

Cao Hao listened, but didn't understand what he meant for a while.

Tianyou bit his lip, stretched out his arm, and gestured with his little hand.

What is this thing that is not square and round?

Cao Hao was still thinking in his heart, Hengsheng had stepped forward, hugged Cao Hao's thigh, hugged him vigorously and didn't let go, his little face was attached to Cao Hao's leg, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and he looked like he wanted to cry or not.

This child, Cao Hao rarely saw Hengsheng take the initiative to be coquettish, and he was puzzled.

Seeing this, Tianyou also came to Cao Hao's side like a younger brother, but he didn't hug his thigh, and reached out to grab Cao Hao's sleeve.

"It will also become a wooden card" Cao Hao still pondered the word "also" in his heart, so he listened to Tianyou and said: "Father, Zuo Cheng and Zuozhu's father have become wooden cards." ”

It turned out that this was the Ning Chun spiritual seat enshrined in the upper room of the Tian family's courtyard.

Cao Hao stretched out his hand and touched the heads of the two of them, and said, "Don't worry, everyone's father is different." I can't become a wooden sign. ”

Tianyou and Hengsheng were half-convinced, with a little confusion, and looked up at Cao Hao with a small face.

Cao Hao looked at his sons and remembered that when he was a child, he didn't seem to have a heart for "life and death" when he was three or four years old, but he didn't know how to explain the topic of life and death to the children.

"Even if it becomes a wooden brand, it is Zuo Cheng Zuozhuang's father. In the past, don't be too naughty and make people angry. Cao Hao thought of Tian's and bowed his head and commanded.

When the two children saw their father's lecture, they stood up and answered.

When it comes to life and death, Cao Hao is not worried about himself, but he is not worried about Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang.

Watching her mother-in-law take her two children to resettle, Cao Hao came out of the courtyard.

But the north wind is gradually rising, and the sky is melodiously spreading snowflakes.

Inside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's Mansion, study.

The fourth elder brother sat behind the bookcase, holding a pen in his hand, counting the income of the household department this year.

Last year, there were many floods and droughts, and this year, in addition to tax reductions and exemptions, it is also necessary to allocate money and grain to help the people.

I heard the little eunuch outside the door say: "Lord Qiqi, Fujin said that the sky has changed, and I am afraid that it will be cold here, so I will send someone to send a charcoal basin to the prince." ”

The fourth elder brother put down the pen, rubbed his forehead, walked to the door and said, "No need to order." ”

How to make money, how to make money?

Thinking of Cao Hao, who is now on an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, the fourth elder brother's face is a little gloomy.

* Chu Yu, as a noble daughter of the palace, has been married to the Cao family for many years, filial piety to her in-laws, and to raise her children.

Cao Yin and the Li family had nothing to say to this daughter-in-law, so they naturally supported holding a birthday banquet for a few more days, next to the full moon of Changsheng.

In a few days, it was the twenty-third day of the winter month.

Cao Hao got up, a little lazy, and looked at his wife who had already gone to the ground.

When Chu Yu saw it, he hesitated and said: "Forehead, my wife hasn't been confined yet, so it's okay not to do it in this life, save the busy and busy, and blame the tired." ”

Cao Hao didn't say anything, got up and took out a brocade box from Kang Shao's bag and sent it to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was a little puzzled, so he took the brocade box and opened it.

But it was dazzling and ruthless, and inside was a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with precious stones.

"Happy Birthday!" Cao Hao walked into his wife and said with a smile.

Chu Yu was a little embarrassed, Cao Hao had already taken the bracelet out of the brocade box and put it on Chu Yu with his own hands.

In this bracelet, the gems on it are set according to the pattern of the peace buckle......

According to Cao Hao's original intention, he originally wanted to make a seven-treasure bracelet. However, thinking of the weight with Cao Yi, Cao Hao personally designed the Ping An buckle.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and their faces were full of tenderness...... Chu Yu is the lord of the county, and Cao Hao is a nobleman, so there are many people who give gifts to the Cao family.

Some people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in order to curry favor with Xiao Cao, this gift list is also extraordinarily rich.

In the capital, it's just human affection.

Cao Hao is not a high-minded person, so naturally he can't put on a high-minded attitude, so he accepts these gifts with a smile.

Some guests were accompanied by Cao Hao and Cao Xiang's brothers; Some guests were accompanied by Mr. Zhuang and Jiang Jian and Li Wei.

That's right, but it's Li Wei.

Li Wei, the future governor of Minzhejiang and the governor of Zhili, followed up with the Cao Mansion in the name of "Xuemu" when he knew that the Cao family had asked Jiang Jian to be his master.

Cao Hao naturally raised his hand to welcome, for this celebrity of the Yongzheng Dynasty, he couldn't help but have more origins, making the Cao family have multiple talismans.

Mr. Zhuang didn't understand why Cao Hao was so courteous to Li Wei, his surname was straightforward, his appearance was sturdy, and he looked more like a martial artist in the hospital. On Mr. Zhuang's side, Jiang's thoughts are all on Jiang Jian.

After all, the capital is the capital, not the place, and some bad pools cannot be wrong.

Jiang Jianchu's face was flushed when he was said; After listening to a few words, I knew Mr. Zhuang's hard work.

One by one, he copied them all into his notebook, and his expression gradually became serious.

Li Wei stayed at Cao's house in the name of following Jiang Jian's "curtain", and listened with great interest to how Mr. Zhuang taught Jiang Jian.

But he listened to the situation of the world, and didn't care about the means, only about the weather.

Relatively speaking, Cao Hao's side is more leisurely.

He thought in his heart to find Mr. Zhuang and let Mr. Zhuang rest and save him from being tired.

Before he passed, he saw Cao Fang step forward and said, "Uncle, the sixteenth and seventeenth masters are here." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, Cao Hao heard it, and he had no choice but to greet him.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, still smiling, rode on horseback, looked at the various carriages parked outside the door, and said something from time to time.

"Fu Ruo, the Holy Driver returns to the palace and wants to summon you." The sixteenth elder brother said straight to the point.

"Today?" Cao Hao calculated in his heart, since he gave Kangxi the fold of collecting money, it has been nearly half a month, and it seems that Kangxi already has it in his hands.

"Well, today. If you are free now, you can go to the palace quickly, and when you come out, it will stop. Brother Sixteen said.

Cao Hao introduced the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother into the living room and went to the palace by himself.

Cao Hao's guess was right, Kangxi made a decision.

In front of the Northwest Army, it was folded again.

Money and grain reserves, if it is delayed any longer, what will be used to pay them money next spring.

Besides, he also knows in his own heart, Cao Hao has some financial management skills, but after all, he is not the God of Wealth, it does not mean that the silver will arrive, and he must always set aside some rich time.

In the Qianqing Palace, the East Warm Pavilion.

Cao Hao bowed and stood up, listening to Kangxi talk about it, allowing him to fold last time, but his heart was quite complicated.

In general, he no longer hides behind the crowd, but has to take on a stall.

Political axe procurement, well, no, the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are too many interests involved, if you don't do it well, maybe you will have to be the enemy of all the immediate benefits related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After all, it is a new thing, Cao Hao only knows some fur, but this specific work is cumbersome.

Xu is all these years, the idle days have passed for too long, thinking about the new errand he is about to face, Cao Hao's heart is faintly a little excited......
