Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1257 Whispers (resume update)
The first thousand and 250 chapters and nine whispers (resume update)
Regarding Chai Xiucai's whereabouts, since Cao Yong knew it well, he didn't pay much attention to the "lawsuit".

As the brothers of the Cao family became officials one after another, and the generation of nephews gradually grew up, the Cao family was no longer the Cao family in the early years, and it was also one of the most influential families among the dignitaries in the capital.

The little scholar sued the Cao family on nonsensical charges, which was more like a joke.

In order to fear that Niuniu would be difficult to do, Cao Yong didn't even hide it from Li Shi and Chuyu, because he was afraid that they would go in without knowing and hear some rumors, and they would have a rift with Niuniu.

Even though Mrs. Li has a gentle temperament, she has pampered her for many years, which adds a bit of extravagance. She doesn't listen to the wind and the rain, and is afraid of east and west.

The old man thought about it for a while, but he didn't blame Chai Xiucai too much. Instead, he sighed and said, "The left and right are bastards. They are dazzled by gold and silver. It's a pity that Sister Ping put her heart into it. It's just that the deceased On the face of Mr. Zhuang Er, just teach him a lesson."

Before Niuniu came out of the cabinet, she had discussed with the Cao family that she would choose a son named Zhuang to inherit the incense of the Zhuang family.As for the Zhuang clan and the two elder sisters, although they are not close, they have no intention of breaking off contact.

It was only because Chai Xiucai and his wife were really out of temper that they didn't spread out these words.

With Niu Niu's temperament, she is most protective of her weaknesses. For this blood relative, she just thinks of her deceased father's affection and moral commitment, which can't compare to being close to the Cao family.

Chai Xiucai was blinded by lard, and he went to the Cao family for money and tarnished the reputation of the Cao family. If Niuniu knew about it, she would hate him more than the Cao family.I'm afraid I can't take care of this face.

Although Cao Yong hates Chai Xiucai, he has no hatred of life and death.

It's just that in the officialdom, it has always been unclear.Even if Cao Yong doesn't care about Chai Xiucai, those who want to use this to curry favor with the Cao family will not be soft.Of course it won't take your life, and it's inevitable that you will be punished badly.

When Cao Yong heard this, he frowned slightly, not because his mother interceded for Chai Xiucai, but thought of a possibility.

If Chai Xiucai really had an "accident" these days, then he really couldn't pick it clean.

Chuyu's eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and she really loves Niuniu as her daughter. When she heard this news, she didn't think that her family's reputation would be damaged.

Seeing that the mother-in-law was also fond of Niu Niu, she said: "Our house is alright, who would take this to heart. On the other hand, Sister Ping is still a new daughter-in-law and her son-in-law is young, so I don't know if it will scare her or not. How about my daughter-in-law go and have a look?"

Mrs. Li nodded, and said: "Alright, just a few more words of comfort, don't let the child feel troubled."

When the husband and wife came out of the Orchid Courtyard, Chu Yu sent someone to prepare a carriage, and took some maids and wives out of the house.Cao Yong went to the study in the front yard and asked someone to invite Cao Jia.

Not for others, just to prevent others from messing up, Chai Xiucai has to protect secretly.

When Cao Jia went out, Cao Yong sat on a chair with a wry smile on his face.

It's been a long time in peace, and I lost my guard.

If I knew how troublesome it would be, I really shouldn't be letting Chai Xiucai jump up and down.

With my current status, I am not afraid of this basin of dirty water, but if it really makes Chai Xiucai lose his life, it will be embarrassing for the dealer, and it will only make it difficult for Niu Niu.

After all, no matter how hateful Chai Xiucai is, he is also Mr. Zhuang's son-in-law, so he deserves death.

The Wei family, the second room.

There was silence in the room, looking at his wife who was pursing her mouth and not saying a word, Wei Wenzhi felt a little uncertain, and said in a low voice: "If you are annoyed, just curse out, don't get angry, it's not worth it. .”

Because he was newly married, Master Sixteen gave him a holiday.

After returning home, the wedding is considered to be over.In order to repay his colleagues and friends who have helped him before and after these days, he originally planned to host a banquet today.

Unexpectedly, before the guests arrived, the servants from Shuntian Mansion arrived.

Although he didn't send someone directly to the yamen, he still inquired about it and explained that he would not be able to leave Beijing in the near future until he was summoned, and so on.

On a good day, he became the defendant, and Wei Wenzhi was not happy.

However, he was more worried about his wife.

Both of their husband and wife were orphaned when they were young, and they are today thanks to the protection of the Cao family.On the wife's side, there is more support from the Cao family.

Seeing her husband frowning with the word "Chuan" and his eyes full of worry, Niuniu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, shook her head slightly, and said, "I'm fine, Second Master, don't worry about me."

Her tone was relaxed, but Wei Wenzhi was worried, and said: "You and my husband, you don't have to stand up. He doesn't consider you a relative, let's just avoid you later, and no one expects the other to live."

Niu Niu stood up and said: "What Second Master said is that I am not a fool, I can't tell the distance. I am just afraid that the old lady and sister-in-law in the mansion will be worried if they hear it. If Second Master is cheap, come with me for a while." How are you doing?"

Things have come to this, Wei Wenzhi has long lost the intention of entertaining guests, nodded in agreement, and hurriedly called people to prepare the carriages and horses.

Before the husband and wife could go out, the carriage of Cao's mansion arrived.

When the couple got the news, they were so surprised that they hurried to the front yard to greet them.

Seeing the princess arriving in person, Wei Wenzhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Niuniu helped Chuyu get out of the carriage, and her eyes were reddened when she heard her low voice asking and reassuring.

The husband and wife welcomed Chu Yu to the upper room, Wei Wenzhi accompanied him and replied a few words, explaining about the visitor from the Shuntian Mansion, then a servant came to report, and a guest arrived in the front yard.

Wei Wenzhi pleaded guilty and went out to meet the guests, leaving Chuyu to talk to Niuniu.

Niuniu waved down the servant girl who was waiting in the room, and stuck to Chuyu's side. She didn't feel sad, but instead showed a bit of a childish attitude, rubbed Chuyu's arm, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, Niuniu wants to home..."

Chu Yu glanced at the door, stretched out her finger, tapped her forehead, and said with a smile, "I just came back the other day, and it's only been a few days? I've become someone else's wife, and she's still playing coquettish...the distance is not far away. After all this time, who is still stopping you?"

In the end, there was a bit of melancholy.

Both sister-in-law and sister-in-law understand that it is different after all if they leave the court.

"It's not bad for you. Once you enter the door, you will be in charge of the house alone, and you don't have any parents-in-law to set rules, so you will suffer a lot less. It's just that Brother Zhi is not an outsider, but men are so rigid, so you need to be coaxed. There is something in your heart. The idea is to have an idea, and you have to be supple on the face, so that you can't make a mistake." Chu Yu rubbed Niuniu's back and said.

Listening to the words with seriousness, Niuniu straightened her waist, pretending to listen respectfully.She was puzzled, not knowing why her sister-in-law brought up this topic.

When Chu Yu saw her, she also stopped laughing, and said seriously, "You are my favorite, you have a good temper, don't I know? There are so many children in the house, but you are the only one who has the same temperament as your elder brother, the most ruthless. Except for these few people in the family, other people are just out of face. They only live their own lives and don't want to pay attention to those troubles. But in one life, who can live alone. Your brother is a man, and others are also You can't slander him in trivial matters. It's not easy for women, if you get a reputation for being mean and ruthless, you will always suffer."

Niuniu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sister-in-law is talking about... the Shuntian Mansion..."

Chu Yu nodded, and said, "That's right. No matter what they do, in the eyes of the world, your sisters are close relatives. It may be that they treat you slowly, but you can't show your indifference in front of others."

Niu Niu frowned and said, "Is this the fear of people's words? They are not close, so they are only allowed to bite people when they see Qian's eyes open, and I am not allowed to reply? Not to mention that it is because of me that they have tarnished the reputation of the Cao family." , always have to be taught a lesson.”

Chu Yu shook her head and said, "It's not your turn to speak if you teach or not. Seniors and children are respectful and orderly. If you come forward, even if you are reasonable, it will become unreasonable. I know you don't take them seriously, but you have to take them into consideration. Brother Zhi. If you show your rigidity, you can bear all kinds of wind and rain, why do you want him to be a husband? It’s good to have an idea in your heart, you don’t have to put it all on the surface, and you should be soft when you should be weak... let alone Say, that sister-in-law of yours speaks delicately and weakly, and she can be startled by saying aloud. If you show your strength, there will be a diaphragm between the sisters-in-law in the future, how can you explain clearly?"

Similar words, before leaving the cabinet, Chu Yu mentioned a few words, but it is not as straightforward as this time.But because she was afraid that Niu Niu would be angry, she went over to Zhuang and Chai Xiucai, and lost the shyness of a bride, showing the rigidity of not letting a man.

Niu Niu has a delicate mind, there is still something she doesn't understand.

Although she was unwilling, she also knew that her sister-in-law really loved her, so she responded honestly and said, "It's just that I'm not as comfortable as at home. If you don't come here, go directly to Shuntian Mansion to accuse him of 'climbing pollution', and beat him severely. Only when you are half dead can you relieve your anger..."

The two aunts and sisters-in-law were talking in the upper room, and Wei Wenzhi in the front yard had already paid for his crimes several times.

The first to arrive was a guard of the palace called Gao Cheng, who had the best relationship with him. Seeing that he had a worried face, he had a good banquet, and he left after the end, so he had to ask a few questions.

Although family ugliness should not be publicized, but since the pleadings have been sent to Shuntian Mansion, how can it be concealed?

Wei Wenzhi explained the reason, and Gao Cheng asked about Chai Xiucai's details, knowing that he was just a squire who went to the capital to play the autumn breeze, and said amusedly: "It's a big deal, but it's worth worrying about it once? It's a boring person to get into a lawsuit for no reason, but You are not an ordinary person, what is there to be afraid of? Not to mention that there is the Cao family up there, you are just joint and joint, and when the time comes to show your face, it is enough to have the dignity of the Shuntian Mansion. Who wants you to really go? Is it possible to have a one-to-one sentence with that sour scholar?"

Although Wei Wenzhi had practiced in the palace for two years and saw a lot of the world, he was completely new to Shengtang to try cases.

Seeing that he was ignorant, Gao Cheng talked about the tricks in the yamen.

For example, in this so-called "infringement" lawsuit, Cao Yong and Zhuang Shuping were sued on the pleadings, but if the court is really about to start, who will actually bring the second-rank officials to trial?
On the Cao family's side, either the nephew or the housekeeper came forward; on the Zhuang family's side, most likely, his husband would go through the motions instead.

Although Gao Cheng understood the explanation, he didn't know that Wei Wenzhi was not worried about the lawsuit itself. After hearing the explanation, although his complexion improved, he lost the interest in entertaining guests and drinking.

He asked someone to take 100 taels of silver, asked Gao Cheng to come forward, and took a few friends who came one after another to go out for a drink.

In the room, the sister-in-law talked for a long while, and Chu Yu didn't leave until she left the meal.

Looking at his wife's red and swollen eyes, Wei Wenzhi couldn't help feeling relieved.

Niu Niu complied with a forced smile, but she couldn't take it anymore and fell ill the next day...

whispered:
From June to now, it has been stopped for two months, and Xiao Jiu's heart is like a roller coaster, dying or living.

A friend of the author who has a good relationship called Xiaojiu and asked Xiaojiu if her wedding was approaching. It was obviously a tragedy, but why did it have a comedic effect?
Xiao Jiu was speechless and burst into tears.As mentioned in the article before, I checked in January, and there was something growing on my body, which was still very scary, tears.Then I kept taking medicine.The re-examination in May did not show any improvement, and it was said that I had to prepare for surgery.

In June, I spent various examinations and infusions, and I was also procrastinating, and I didn't want to have surgery.

On that day, I was really desperate, feeling like I was waiting to die.Not wanting to communicate with the outside world, the editor asked to post an announcement to ask for leave. Xiao Jiu logged in several times and wrote a lot, but never sent it.I don't want to tell the truth, when I'm afraid, I don't want to hear any words of comfort.Still afraid that I will have a crow's mouth, and the nightmare will come true.I didn't want to make up lies to deceive everyone, so I just disappeared.

Procrastinating until the beginning of July, under the urging of my family and the encouragement of my editor, I finally faced reality and underwent surgery.

In mid-July, after the postoperative test, it was not that or that.Woohoo, escaped from birth.

At the beginning of August, I received a call from the editor, talking about the Chengdu annual meeting.Then Sister Futian also called, and made an appointment with several female authors to go out for a few days after the annual meeting.

Bow your head, in fact, the current Xiao Jiu is not suitable for seeing people, she is very puffy, her face is ugly, her hair has been cut, her image is beyond description.But considering that the annual meeting at the starting point is all public expenses, eating and drinking for free, Xiao Jiu is a petty citizen.

Originally, I was thinking about having a good child and raising it, and I was resurrected after the annual meeting, but the readers called and scolded me, since I can travel, don't be lazy.

Clenching his fist, Xiao Jiu got up.

Get started today and resume updating.

If I apologize, I don’t know how to say it, but I advise everyone, take care of your body and stay healthy, that’s really good.
