Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1291

But when he saw the twins, Sun Chu was inexplicably surprised, and couldn't help but look at his eldest brother, Sun Li, who was sitting at another table.

Sun Li, Li Nuo, and Li Yu, who were on duty to celebrate birthdays, sat with Tianyou, Hang Seng, Zuo Zhu, and Zuo Cheng.He also saw Li Dao and Li Zheng, and there was nothing unusual on his face, but he was also very surprised in his heart.

Although he knew that the Li family and the Cao family had resumed their contacts early, it was Li Nuo and Li Yu brothers who often came to Li's house to pay their respects. Li Dao and Li Zheng rarely went out to socialize because of their young age.

Unlike Sun Chu, Sun Li won the Jinshi three years ago and entered the Imperial Academy.Even if Sun and Li's family moved less, he could still hear some news about Li's family.

As early as Gao Taijun's funeral, he had met Li Dao and Li Zheng brothers.

He was also as surprised as Sun Chu at that time, and even asked about it seriously.

As a result of the inquiry, it seems that horses and horses have nothing to do with each other, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand the relationship.

Li Ding died suddenly, the twins returned to the Li family, and the twins inherited Li Ding's incense.

Although it was more than ten years apart, Li Ding died suddenly, and some people remember it.

In addition, the birth mother of the twins was from the Li family, so it was not a private matter in the Sun family.

It's just a gift of a beautiful maidservant, which is not unusual among relatives and friends.

What surprised Sun Li the most was that Li Ding's death was unknown, and even after many years, there was still no conclusion.

You must know that Li Ding was a bodyguard at the time, and Li Xu was a second-rank official with the title of servant of the Suzhou Manufacturing Department.Rao is so, can't find out what happened.

There is no other reason, there are too many powerful people in the capital, and anyone you meet on the street may be the son of the clan's yellow belt.

Who knows who Li Ding offended?Even the yamen of the capital of the infantry army must be willing to be confused and dare not investigate in detail.

Those who dare to use such methods have no reliance?If any important person is really found out, there will be many headaches.

He somewhat understood why his uncle's family acted in a low-key manner, so he acted more respectfully, and won praises from the Hanlin Academy for being mature and prudent.

Sensing his younger brother's gaze, Sun Li turned his head to take a look.

Sun Chu's doubts were written all over his face. Sun Li glanced over the Li family's twins, frowned slightly, and shook his head gently at Sun Chu.

Sun Chu grew up behind his elder brother, and there is a tacit understanding between the brothers.Seeing his elder brother's gesture, he let out a long breath to calm himself down.

Changsheng lives on this table and treats guests as the host.

Those present are all immature teenagers.

In addition to Changsheng, there are Dongfu Tianyang, twin sons of the Li family, Sun Chu of the Sun family, and Cao Yi's two sons, Brother Shou and Brother Fu.

Not only Sun Chu's expression was wrong, but the twins were also a little silent.

When they were taken away that year, they were also at the age of about to remember things, but some of them couldn't remember clearly, but the Sun family, Cao family, first brother, and second brother still roughly remembered.

After returning to the capital, the two of them grew up, and they knew their identities to some extent, they were orphans without father and mother.

The parents of the Sun family are adoptive parents, and the parents of the Li family are uncle parents.

Although the world is big, the two brothers are like lonely ghosts.Fortunately, Uncle Li Nai treated them as his own, otherwise it would be too pitiful.

Chang Sheng noticed the silence of these people, but he was not familiar with them, so he had to talk about schoolwork as a common topic.

Unexpectedly, it really resonated with Sun Chu and the twins.

Sun Chu had his eldest brother as a role model, who was only interested in obtaining a background in the imperial examinations; the same was true for the Li family's twins, the family had already fallen, and although they did not separate again, they were almost the same. They could only rely on themselves.

The three of them will all take the boy test in February next year.

Brother Shou and Brother Fu belong to the clan. Brother Shou is the eldest son and will inherit the Dukedom of Zhen Guo in the future;

Listening to a few people talking about the imperial examination, the two little brothers found it novel, but they listened with gusto.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and Chang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

The days of winter are short, and after dinner, everyone didn't stay long, so they dispersed.

It was only at this time that Sun Chu had the opportunity to ask the elder brother about the twins of the Li family.

"The two of them are the posthumous sons of the second uncle of the Li family. At that time, the uncle of the Li family died suddenly. The enemy did not know who they were. He was afraid that the other party would have the intention of killing the grass and roots, so they raised them in our house. Later, when the uncle of the Li family came to Beijing, he took the two brothers Take it there." Sun Li replied: "This is what I heard from my grandfather Sun Wencheng after attending Gao Taijun's funeral in the first month. After all, there are some taboos about what happened back then, as long as you understand it in your heart."

No matter how nasty the truth is, this is the final statement that the twins changed their surname from Sun to Li.

It didn't matter whether the deceased was a senior or the son didn't mention his father's fault, Sun Chu didn't ask.

It's just that he is 16 years old, the age of knowing the world.He curled his lips, not believing that his father would do such a noble act of comforting the orphan.He remembered clearly that the two aunts who were biological sisters were very favored.It was only because they came from humble backgrounds and had no backing that they carefully flattered the mistress and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Back at the Sun's house, the Sun Li brothers first went to see their grandfather, and reported on the scene of today's visit to the Cao's house.

When Sun Wencheng heard that Prince Yu and Duke Zhen Guo had arrived in person, he was silent for a while before sending Sun Li and Sun Chu down.

An Shi was sent to Zhuangzi to live for a year before taking over. She became much more honest, and she didn't dare to interfere with housework anymore, eating fast and reciting Buddha's name all day was very stable.

Although she tried her best to marry her youngest son to the Dong family, but her eldest grandson became the youngest son, and the other party also changed from a concubine to a concubine.

Both families were dissatisfied. If Sun Wencheng hadn't come to the door in person, apologized in person, and expressed his intention to marry again, the two families would have broken off their relationship.

It's just that although there are many branches of the Dong family, there is no reason for two sisters to marry two uncles and nephews together.

In addition, through the previous incidents, the Dong family also saw that An Shi was not a sensible person, even if he was optimistic about Sun Li's future, he was reluctant to marry his daughter-in-law over to the Sun family's troubled waters.

When the concubine daughter of the Dong family married, An Shi was still contemptuous because of her status as a concubine, but she didn't expect Dong's temperament to be straightforward, and within a few days, she would dominate her husband, and An Shi was so angry that he fell on his back.

Although Dong's family and Sun's family are both covered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Dong's family is full of customs and pampers their daughters, unlike the Sun's family that attaches great importance to the Han family's etiquette.

Although the Dong family is a concubine, the Dong family is one of the most powerful families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Sun family who has lost power is also a low-level marriage, so they are naturally confident.

Although An was dissatisfied, Dong found Sunban's errand to make up for it. For the sake of her son's future, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only complain in front of her husband.

Sun Wencheng is a sensible person, he knows that his youngest son is spoiled by his old wife, and he is lucky to be able to marry a capable daughter-in-law.

Because of Dong's comparison, Sun Wencheng also had some complaints about his eldest daughter-in-law, Cao.

If the eldest daughter-in-law could also control her husband, Sun Jue would not become more and more despicable, and eventually become a useless person.

But the Cao family was rising like a sun, even the eldest grandson, Sun Li, was under the care of his uncle Cao Xiang in the Imperial Academy, and Sun Wencheng was as warm as ever to his eldest daughter-in-law.

Originally begged by his old wife, he was hesitating whether to send someone to bring Sun Jue back to the city at the end of the year, but after listening to the words of his two grandsons today, he stopped thinking about it.

When Sun Jue comes back for the New Year, it will be An's who will be happy, and Cao's mother and son will be wronged.

Although they are husband and wife, father and son, they are no different from enemies.

Sun Wencheng sighed heavily, thinking about Li Xu's temperament that did not take the Cao family seriously, now for the sake of his children and grandchildren, he can put down his face and get close to the Cao family regardless of his old age, why is he stubborn?
The future of the Sun family depends not on Sun Jue and Sun Ban, but on brothers Sun Li, so let's just leave it at that...

On the Cao Mansion's side, Mrs. Li ate a few more drinks because of her good mood. After the guests left, she was already a little drunk.

In addition to Tianyou's marriage agreement, Jiao Wen and Jiang Hui also changed their appointments a few days ago.

Jiao Wen lived in Cao's house for more than half a year, Li Shi has long been in love, and Ju Jianghui is her god-granddaughter.

This marriage is completed, not only Jiang Hui has a secure future, but even the Han Jiang family will finally have something to rely on.

In addition, Cao Yong said that he had decided to invite Guanglu and Sai Shitu to be the big matchmakers, so Li took his son and began to talk about it.

"At the beginning, he was just a little bit big when he landed. Later, when your father brought him to Jiangning, the pain was like eyeballs. Even if I repeat one more sentence, I still don't agree..."

"Now that the most precious grandson is going to start a family and start a business, your father will be very happy if Izumi knows..."

"Wen Jin is a strong child, but he has a hard life and has no relatives to rely on. Jiao Wen's child, although he is a bit bored, can behave politely, has a good heart, and will be filial to her..."

"Liu Ge Ge Xiao's mother, she looks good, my eldest grandson is blessed..."

After rambling on for a while, Li's voice gradually lowered, and she was already so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu waited for Li's resettlement before returning to Wutong Garden.

"It's rare for the old lady to talk so much. Ever since Tianbao moved out at the beginning of the year, the old lady's life has been deserted..." Chu Yu said with emotion: "I'm busy with housework, otherwise I can spend more time with the old lady. Wait Just let the wife come in, I will hand over the housework, and I can spend more time with the old lady..."

Cao Yong was also very guilty, and said: "If it weren't for the cold and boring life, the old lady would not always think of the past. I was also careless as a son. I accompanied the old lady for a walk twice when I was in Qingyuan. I don't care."

Although he intends to make amends, but the Ministry of Finance will be the busiest time soon, how can he get out.

Cao Yong thought for a while, and said: "After a few days, you will go to Jian Wang's mansion, and you can accompany the old lady to the hot spring village to relax, and bring a few younger ones; if the four brothers and sisters are willing, invite them to go with them. It should snow then, so it’s a good time to soak in the hot springs.”

When Chu Yu heard this, she was quite moved: "What about the master?"

"It's really far away when I go to take a rest, or I really want to stay for a few more days." Cao Yong said.

Changping Zhuangzi is no better than Haidian Yuanzi. If you live in Haidian Yuanzi, you can commute to and from the city every day; Changping Zhuangzi is nearly a hundred miles away from the city, and it takes two hours to make a carriage. It is really not suitable to go back and forth every day.

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Tianhui was talking about the Rabbit Garden over there a few days ago, it's great to be able to go there now..."

The husband and wife talked about God's blessing again. As early as the matchmaker didn't have a date, Li Shi and Chu Yu asked someone to pick a date.There are four auspicious days in November, the sixth day, the sixteenth day, the 22nd day, and the 28th day.

The sixth day was too hasty, and the 22nd and 28th were later, so the husband and wife decided on the [-]th day...

*
I feel sorry for the parents all over the world, and found that my mother's hair is almost white, and I feel sore. I will take my mother downstairs for a walk tomorrow.
