Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1339 Guilty
Cao's mansion went up and down, and a hundred or so people came down. The wife had an incident with two respectable nuns, and she knew what she should know that night.

The silver rice that has been leather for half a year is already a serious treatment for the servants of the Cao family, and even the children and grandchildren of the two nanny's family are also ashamed.

Aunt Ping, who was selected by her wife to take care of the childbirth, is a decent thing. Everyone knows that Miss Ping is not a stingy person. Not to mention two shares of silver rice, when the young master and young lady land, they will inevitably get a heavy one. Red envelope.

But I went to take care of it for a few months, and this is the end, and something went wrong, and I lost my old face.

The sons and daughters-in-law of the two families could not help but complain about their old mother, but they still had to comfort their mouths, and they also inquired about the details of Aunt Ping's delivery.

Perhaps the two nuns also felt ashamed, and impatiently talked more, but they couldn't stand their son and daughter-in-law, so they vaguely said that the two old sisters were negligent, causing Aunt Ping to give birth prematurely, and almost couldn't make it through, which angered the old man and his wife.

After hearing this, the two sons and daughters-in-law took a deep breath and kept silent since then, not daring to bring up the matter again.

They are all born in the family, so I know that Aunt Ping was raised in Cao's family when she was young, and she was raised just like the girls in Cao's family. Uncle Ping is also the master's nephew, so he is very fond of him.

Because of the negligence of the two nuns, Aunt Ping suffered from childbirth, and the master and wife were angry.

That is to say, kind people like master and wife don't like beating and scolding servants, but they have only leathern silver rice for half a year; for other families, there are also dozens of boards that knock half to death.

I don't know if the two nuns have learned their lesson, they stayed behind closed doors peacefully, making many who were jealous of them getting good jobs and waiting to see jokes have nowhere to talk.

On the second day after Niuniu gave birth, Chuyu picked two more stable old nuns from home to serve Niuniu during her confinement.

Tianhui's wet nurse had been sent out long ago, while Niu Niu's biological mother breastfed herself, and her biological mother and her own aunt looked after her, so Niu Niu did not marry a wet nurse and a nanny when she got married like other boudoir ladies.

Because Niuniu and Tianhui grew up as little ghosts, Chuyu didn't think there was anything wrong with not having a wet nurse and a nanny by her side.

In the end, I was more or less narrow-minded as a sister-in-law and mother, and I didn't want Niuniu and Tianhui to be too dependent on others; in addition, I thought that when I first married, I almost had a rift with my husband because of this nurse.

Nurses and nurses are housekeepers after all, so they have so much knowledge, they don't rely on old girls to teach them to be confused.

But after Niuniu's incident, Chu Yu regretted it very much.

No matter how sensible you are at home, even if you are in your teens, after leaving the court, you need some experience to see the old people helping you.

Niu Niu is used to making decisions by herself, and there is no one around her who can persuade her, so she doesn't know what to do, and walks before the gate of hell.

On the daughter's side, apart from the accompanying housewife, she has to think about it...

On the tenth day of April, Wei Zhai held the "three baptisms" for newborns.

In addition to the relatives of the Cao family, there are also members of the Wei family in the capital, and Wei Wenzhi's guards and colleagues in the Zhuang Wang's mansion are also lively.

Cao Yong has a high position and authority, so it is not good to ask for leave and delay for these things. The two who came to Cao's house were Chuyu's mother and daughter.

Since Cao Yong recognized Niuniu as a "righteous sister", in view of Cao Yong's affection, several aunts and grandmothers in Cao's mansion had to send people to give them three baptisms. They grew up together, and they prepared more serious gifts; Cao Yi came here in person, besides being close to the head of the Cao family, loving Wu and Wu, and really liking Niu Niu, because he was acting as a messenger, he had other things to say to Chu Yu .

It was the old lady of the university scholar's mansion, Tatara, who spoke through him. The words were tactful, but there was only one meaning, and that was that he wanted to meet Tianhui before his grandson was born.

If the two adults have been in contact for a long time, they will find a reason to visit the house; in fact, the two families have no contact, so it is not easy to walk around casually, so they think about whether it is arranged in the Duke's mansion.

This is a common practice in Beijing. When two families formally get married, unmarried men and women may not be able to meet each other, but most of the elders of the two parties want to see each other.

Even Chuyu himself once wanted to see Liugege.

According to Cao Yi's intention, he was looking for a reason to hold a banquet in the Duke's mansion, and invited two female relatives.

But in Tianhui's marriage, it is not easy to go past one person, and that is Cao Jia's.

Thinking that there are still some days before Shu Hede's filial piety, Chu Yu was thinking about going to Prince Ping's Mansion to talk about it someday, but he forgot that Shu Hede was already 19 years old, and the old lady of the University Scholars Mansion must be waiting impatiently.

But it will take a year and a half from engagement to marriage.

If the old lady wants her grandson to be a servant, then she will get married, isn't she going to see her now?

Chu Yu thought for a while, and said: "Don't rush to reply, I will go to Prince Ping's mansion after I leave here."

Cao Yi knew that his elder sister loved Tianhui, so he said, "It's good for my sister-in-law to have an idea, and I'm not in a hurry here, as long as I have a reply in three to five days..."

After the ceremony of "washing three" for the newborn was over, Chu Yu went directly to Prince Ping's mansion.

Hearing that his sister-in-law came, Cao Jia was quite surprised.

But she is a sensible person, and before Chuyu could speak, she had already thought of Tianhui's head: "Is there any clue about sister Hui's marriage?"

Chu Yu didn't show it on the face, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

My sister-in-law had said long ago that not only did their parents need to pay attention to Tianhui's marriage, but it was also difficult to get past her.

They are a husband and wife, but they are more or less suspected of "following the law and violating the law".

It's not that she deliberately neglected Cao Jia's eldest daughter who is a direct relative, but that the people she associates with are mostly clans.However, Cao Yong and Chu Yu have long put aside the idea of ​​Jiang's daughter marrying the clan.

She didn't feel it at first, but now that she is in front of her eldest sister-in-law, Chu Yu feels somewhat guilty.

Although she was grateful to her eldest aunt for her love for her daughter, thinking that Tianhui didn't kiss herself when she was a child and was only close to Cao Jiashi, she still felt a little sore in her heart.

In front of her elder aunt, Chu Yu couldn't say that the husband and wife had seen each other's son-in-law, and they had revealed their words, and things were pretty much the same.

After thinking about it, she only said that she was a good friend of Tianyou, and her husband thought it was good, so people found out that the family style was strict, and she wanted to be a relative.

In Cao Jia's heart, she complained more or less towards her brother and his wife.

The couple felt so sorry for their daughter that they didn't know why, and they were not only cautious about Tianhui's marriage, but also repeated it.

At first, he said that he didn't want his daughter to work too hard, so he couldn't find the eldest son.However, people in the world all value the eldest daughter-in-law when choosing a daughter-in-law. There is absolutely no reason why the birth of the younger daughter-in-law overshadows the eldest daughter-in-law.

The Cao family is not a small family, and it is not easy to find a suitable second son to be a relative among the lords of the family.

If the Cao family wanted to find the second son or the youngest son as aunt, they could only find it in the clan.

However, most of the clan families have a large population, and it is not so easy for a young daughter-in-law.

Even if the branch government lives separately, most of them have to rely on the direct branch in order to gain a foothold in the clan.

Moreover, the clan's family is even more strictly hierarchical, and ordinary relatives speak according to their rank.

Cao Jia is also a parent, and knows that the brother and the brother-in-law love their niece, but because of their straightforward nature, they really can't see the friction between the two.

Unexpectedly, after a lot of tossing around, he still picked the eldest son who was a well-matched family.

Cao Jiashi sat up straight, looked at Chu Yu, and asked doubtfully, "You didn't object, so I guess you've seen it before?"

It was difficult for Chu Yu to speak out about Lingshan Temple, so she said, "That child was a classmate with Tianyou in his early years, and he also visited the house. At that time, he thought he was a good-looking person. It's just that Tianhui is different in age, so he didn't think about it. Who would have thought Don't dare to knock, the child will keep his filial piety afterwards, and the marriage will be delayed."

Cao Jia's expression was slightly relaxed, she nodded, and said: "Since you two feel good, it's not bad. As an aunt, can I stop you? Although our palace has no contact with the University Scholars' Palace, we can When I didn't leave Beijing in the early years, I also met him, Tara, he was a sensible person... It's just that people like that are worry-free, and the population is a bit thin..."

Seeing that she had no objection, Chu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and then said about Cao Yi's message.

Cao Jia's mood was waning. Seeing that Chuyu seemed to have her own ideas, she didn't worry about it anymore. She just said that she didn't worry about it anymore and let them be their parents. She was only going to add makeup to her niece...

After coming out of Prince Ping's Mansion, Chu Yu sighed, she knew that although the eldest sister-in-law didn't say anything, she was a little annoyed after all.

When Cao Yong came back from Luo Ya, Chu Yu mentioned the matter to her husband.

Cao Yong patted his forehead, feeling that he was a little unkind.

Before arranging the trip to Lingguang Temple, the two of them, the husband and wife, greeted Cao Jiashi first.

Now, the marriage between the two families was almost settled, so Cao Jiashi was notified, and she couldn't blame her.

"It was me who was careless for a while and didn't do things well. Don't get too entangled. My sister always loves us. Tomorrow, I will go over to accompany my sister. She won't annoy us." Cao Yong thought for a while, and said with relief.

Chu Yu knew that her husband was right, so she decided not to mention the matter.

The next day, Cao Yong thought about going to Pingwangfu, so he came out of the Yamen early, not wanting to be blocked by Yidu.

Thinking that he didn't understand Yi Duli's desire to get married before, and now his daughter is about to be given to someone else, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He thought to himself, he must find a way to get over it, otherwise, it would be bad if there was a rift between them for many years.

Before he could think about how to speak, Yi Duli had already warmly greeted Cao Yong, "I was just going to look for you, but it was a coincidence?"

Immediately, Yi Du looked Cao Yong in the eye, hesitantly said: "Fu Ruo came out of the Yamen early, is there something wrong?"

Cao Yong just wanted to talk about going to Pingwang's mansion, it can be seen that Yi Duli was wearing ordinary clothes, as if she came here specially to find herself, and there was depression between her brows and eyes, and she changed her words when she reached her mouth: "It's nothing, it's just After finishing the errands at hand, come out earlier."

Being in the officialdom, I don't know when I have added entertainment, even if they are at their level, there is no exception.

Therefore, in addition to wearing men's clothes to go to the yamen for errands, they often bring regular clothes with them, just for the convenience of changing clothes when they have something to do.

After hearing Cao Yong's words, Yi Duli breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's fine if there is nothing to do, I don't want to delay Furuo if you want, but if I don't talk to someone, I will be bored to death... Qinghetang There is a new master chef who specializes in swallow-wing banquet, today I want to invite Fu Ruo to have a good drink..."

Cao Yong was surprised when he heard this.

As the minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of Yiduli, there are not many things that can make him depressed. What exactly is it...
