Cao Song turned white, returned to the East Mansion, and went directly to the main room of the inner courtyard where Zhaojia's family was. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he stopped, hesitated, did not enter, but turned around and went back to the east courtyard first.

The sacrifice is in Xifu, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also in Xifu, and the Zhaojia clan is not practical to prepare anything.

It's just that she is putting her mother-in-law's score and is willing to watch her daughter-in-law stand in front of her.

After a while, I saw that Cao Song sent someone to invite Jinghui back.

Zhao Jiashi sat on the kang, couldn't help but droop his face, and complained to Zilan and Lu Ju: "Isn't this marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother?" In broad daylight, what can I do, it's not that I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law will make rules, and I'm tired......"

She wronged Cao Song, and Cao Song asked the maid to call Jinghui back, there was indeed something wrong.

As the new daughter-in-law, Jinghui has set up rules around Zhaojia's side since she called "back to the door" three times, and she will not leave the left and right.

If there is anything wrong with the Zhaojia clan in Xifu, Jinghui should know.

Jinghui didn't expect her husband to ask about this, and she looked a little hesitant, not knowing what to say. Some of what my mother-in-law said yesterday is really impossible for people to learn.

Seeing Jinghui like this, Cao Song knew in his heart that there was really something, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Even if there is something wrong with my mother, since you know it, you should tell me." ”

Although Jinghui didn't want to pay attention to these gossipes, she was also a little worried when she thought of Chu Yu's angry face yesterday, and said, "Although the eldest lady didn't say anything, my sister-in-law seems to be annoyed!" ”

Cao Song was so anxious that he got up and pulled Jinghui to sit down by the kang, and said, "Tell me quickly, what did my mother say, even my sister-in-law, who has always been good-tempered, is annoyed?" ”

Jing Hui remembered the pitiful appearance of Hengsheng after being beaten yesterday, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart.

Although Hengsheng was unfortunately an orphan, he was kindly adopted by Cao Hao and his wife, and regarded it as his own blessing.

The mother-in-law's slap, coupled with the words of the knife before, was really hurtful.

Jing Hui hesitated for a moment and roughly explained the situation yesterday.

Hearing that his mother was beating and scolding, Cao Song was already stunned and speechless.

After a while, he shook his mind, and his face was already iron-blue. He clenched his fist and pounded the edge of the kang vigorously, stood up, and was about to go out.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Jing Hui hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Second master, Ming'er is celebrating the New Year, it's really hard to talk about this ......"

Cao Song stopped, rubbed his feet vigorously, sighed, and said, "How did Mother think?" In order to be busy with my family affairs with the third child, my uncle and aunt have all been able to get through, and my sister-in-law is also busy and unavailable. It's been a good day for half a day, and I still suffer from this meal, and I can't complain about my brother's heart! ”

"Big brother knows, too?" For Cao Hao, Jinghui has always been in awe, just like her elders.

Cao Song nodded, didn't say anything else, and retreated to the kang.

So far, it is useless to talk too much, and I went to my mother's side to say a few words, which made her angry again, so that the whole family did not stop doing something.

It's still my brother who is right, he has survived the fifteenth, and he is still a scorer.

My brother and sister-in-law are still in the next room, and my mother doesn't leave the slightest room to speak, so Jinghui ...... Thinking of this, Cao Song was a little uneasy, and said, "Mother, have you been embarrassed by these words?" ”

Jinghui hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

Cao Song was full of irritability, but when he saw the finger sleeve of his left hand, he gradually calmed down.

"The son is not poor at home, and the son is not ugly at the mother", no matter what, she is also his biological mother. My brother and sister-in-law can be annoyed, but I don't have room to be annoyed.

It's just that why is the chest so blocked and uncomfortable.

The chest was jammed, and Wu Yashi didn't come up in one breath. The girl "went back to the door", ate the banquet, and the two went back to the room to whisper.

In the past few days, Wu Ya's family has not slept well, and she is afraid that her daughter will suffer in her mother-in-law's house.

The Cao family is now considered a noble, and it is difficult to deal with any rules and family laws if they are not in order. In addition, Zhaojia's family is the surname Bing, if the girl is angry, she will not follow.

There is also the situation of the cave house, the son-in-law looks a little honest, is the surname generous, or wooden...... Anything else is easy to say, Ruhui replied vaguely; Listening to her mother babbling about the situation in the cave room, she was a little tender and didn't know how to respond.

Thinking of her husband who lived in the wing room, Ruhui felt a little aggrieved, turned sideways and said: "Ama and Eniang have all looked away, and said that he is an honest person, honest what, the girl in the room has already been there, so she will hide it from this side!" ”

When Wu Yashi heard this, he was very surprised, and said, "No, didn't you ask someone to inquire when I went to measure the house to prepare the dowry before?" Even your aunt kept saying no! ”

Ruhui took a peanut in her hand, crushed it vigorously, and even threw Ren'er inside, and said, "That's why I said that he was cunning, but he just looked honest." ”

Although Wu Yashi sighed, the raw rice had already been cooked, and there was no reason for the mother-in-law to interfere with the people in her son-in-law's house.

She took the girl's hand and said, "Children of big families, it's nothing to have two girls in the house before you get married, you are the main house, you can't be too indulgent to your husband, and you can't be too strict." Young people, who do not have a little heart. Know that he is your hope all your life. Although he is two years younger than you, in the end it is your husband, and in the future, this 'annihilation' is not 'cunning', and the mother looks at her son-in-law and is not that kind of person. ”

Ruhui still wanted to complain, but seeing that Wu Ya's sideburns had already added gray hair, she didn't want her mother to worry about herself anymore, so she pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

* Goldfish Alley, Thirteen Elder Brothers' Mansion.

Tomorrow is thirty, there are many things to be busy, and the fourth elder brother is afraid that he will not be available, so he will come to see the thirteenth elder brother today.

Because the thirteenth elder brother was not knighted, and he was the elder brother who moved out of the palace to open the mansion, in addition to the property he received when he opened the mansion, he took Lu rice from the idle clan every year over the years.

The idle clan came according to the treatment of the four-rank officials, with an annual salary of one hundred and five taels of silver, and another one hundred and five taels of rice.

A prince's mansion, there are more than 100 people inside and outside, and 100 taels of money, what is this not child's play?

The fourth elder brother was worried that the thirteenth elder brother would not have enough money, so he was short of money here, so he went to the palace account over there.

The thirteenth elder brother has the dividends of the pearl factory sent by Cao Hao every year, and he is quite comfortable.

When the fourth elder brother heard this, he felt quite strange in his heart.

A few days ago, I just got the news that Cao Hao received a shop in Yaerjianga and gave him a hot spring land over there; Thinking about it now, Cao Hao also has a lot of personal contacts with the thirteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother.

Although these are all hopeless little brothers, but Cao Hao is like this, is it considered a long-sleeved dance?

Seeing that the fourth elder brother looked a little serious, the thirteenth elder brother remembered something, clapped his hands and ordered people to go down and prepare.

The fourth elder brother saw that the thirteenth elder brother was mysterious, and he didn't know what to do, and he didn't reveal it.

One less time, there are two tea cups with unique styles sent by the waiter.

The fourth elder brother looked at the tea cups that had already been on the case, picked up the new ones, and asked with a smile: "Thirteenth brother, this tea cup looks like foreign goods, what's the matter, is it a new tea?" As he spoke, he opened the teacup, sniffed it, and said, "Europa's coffee!" ”

The thirteenth elder brother smiled: "Fourth brother still remembers? Yes, in the early years, there were missionaries who gave Huang Ama to worship, we have all tasted it, and I still remember that the tenth brother was so bitter that he broke the tea cup at that time! ”

But after more than ten years of hard work, it seems like a lifetime.

The fourth elder brother was stunned and fell into deep thought, when he heard the thirteenth elder brother continue: "Fourth brother, I have something to ask you!" ”

The fourth elder brother came to his senses, waved his hand, and said, "What do you want or not, our brothers, and you still talk about these?" The thirteenth brother has something, just say it! ”

The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said, "Since the fourth brother said this, then the old thirteen will not be outside." That's the case, isn't my brother idle and idle, looking at the dim sum stall that Cao Hao put up for his daughter-in-law, he was also a little moved. Just in time for Cao Hao to come a few days ago, he wanted to get a gift shop in Beijing. Both of them, father and son, are now in court, and they are inconvenienced, so they want to give me this business. I don't lack capital, but there are many locusts in the clan, and I can't scare people. No, the younger brother is thinking about borrowing the light of the fourth brother. The younger brother is ready, just borrow the name of the fourth brother, and just add some pen and ink silver to a few nephews. ”

"Cao Hao is thinking about doing business again?" When the fourth elder brother heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Daoxiang Village has a good business, he knows it.

Even on the side of Sifujin, he has praised Da Gege's good fortune more than once, and he has found a capable forehead, not to mention, that is, to earn pollen silver, and he has also earned no one in the capital.

Da Gege is just a female dependent, although this shop is under her name, but no one with a discerning eye knows that this is Cao Hao's hand behind his back.

Shinong Industry and Commerce, Shinong Industry and Commerce, Cao Hao, is this a bit unprofessional?

The thirteenth elder brother heard that there was a strange meaning in the fourth elder brother's words, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand Cao Hao, so he hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, don't misunderstand, Cao Hao is not mixed, but he mentioned that the people in the capital are complicated, and the various gifts that need to be purchased every year are not old and young, and sometimes it is necessary to make people go to the south to procure, which is really inconvenient." When I think of other Fuzhong, this is mostly the scene, so I feel that this business is good. He had no intention of doing so, so he told me. ”

In the end, he sighed and said, "I know that he is afraid that my hands will be tight, and he will send this profitable business to me." It's just that I'm a little tired of staying in the house, and I also want to find some work, and I want to move my muscles and bones. ”

After listening to the words of the thirteenth elder brother, the fourth elder brother was a little unbearable.

He loosened his brows, nodded, and said, "Nothing else, it's still the old saying, whether the thirteenth brother uses people or money, just send someone over there to say it." ”

The thirteenth elder brother didn't like it when he heard this, and said, "Then the younger brother thanked the fourth brother!" Speaking of gift shops, whether they make money or not, they are all behind, and my younger brother just wants to take advantage of this convenience to get some foreign tea cups and foreign tea. Buxiao said, in the future, there are foreign monks, foreign Buddha statues or something, and the younger brother will also keep it for the fourth brother. It's the pollen used by the sisters-in-law, the toys that the children play with, and it's good to get more. If you encounter something strange, you can also ......"

He originally wanted to say that he could also "honor the emperor Ama", but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "You can also sell it for a good price and make a few tea dollars!" ”

The fourth elder brother smiled lightly, brought the tea cup in his hand to his mouth, and took a sip of coffee. Bitter, really bitter, bitter with aroma.

Cao Hao has handled things over the years, and the fourth elder brother also knows everything. If he hadn't come from the Cao family and was a serious official, he would be more like a businessman.

The young man is smart, but he doesn't have to go to the right place, and the fourth elder brother has some regrets in his heart.

Thinking about the changing situation in the imperial court now, Cao Hao stayed in the cold yamen and never mixed with power, is this considered a rainy day? Is it because my surname doesn't like to be lively, or does he have a good eyesight?

In the heart of the fourth elder brother, he couldn't help but have some doubts......* Cao Mansion, Lan Courtyard, upper room.

Cao Hao sat on the edge of the kang, looking at Tianyou and Hengsheng playing tangrams, but suddenly, his nose was itchy.

"Ahh......h

Li and Chu Yu at the kang table, setting the recipe for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Listening to Cao Hao's movements, Li Shi hurriedly got up, wiped a handful of his son's clothes and said, "Is it that the head is out and dressed thinly, and the wind is blowing?" Don't get sick during the New Year! ”

Chu Yu handed over the handkerchief, and there was a little worry in his expression, Cao Hao wiped his nose and said to Li with a smile: "Only my mother still treats me as a child, I don't know which one is talking about me, my ears are itchy, so I sneezed a few times, and it was okay." ”

"In the end, if you go out, you can't keep it all and there is cold, or you still have to drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold!" Li was still not at ease, so he called the maid to fetch the ginger soup prepared in the kitchen.

Although Cao Hao knew that he was nothing, he was not at ease when he saw his mother and wife, so he took the ginger soup and drank it.

Tianyou and Hengsheng, seeing their father frowning and drinking, just regarded it as a bitter medicine soup, and took out sugar from their purses and sent it to Cao Hao's mouth.

Cao Hao looked at the two fleshy little hands, and the fatigue of his whole body was relieved, and he only felt that his heart was very ironed......-
