Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 248
"Bang bang bang!" The door was pounded, as if the whole yard was shaking, Cao Song was still yelling at the top of his voice, "Saishitu, you son of a bitch, if you have the guts to open the door, you will be the old Cao's family!" There's no one left, right?"

Cao Yiyuan supported Sai Shitu, and when he heard Cao Song's words, his body trembled slightly.

Even Lu Mubu, who was still ignorant before, became confused when he heard the phrase "Old Cao's family".Although he had never met the Cao family brothers, he knew that Seshitu and Pingjun Wang Naersu were brothers-in-law, and they both married the daughters of the Cao family in Jiangning.

Being confused, Lu Mubu saw Cao Yong behind Cao Yi.Although Cao Yong and Cao Song, one is thinner and the other is thicker, but after all they are first cousins, their appearances are still somewhat similar, Lu Mubu was taken aback.

Cao Yong only felt extremely happy, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly upturned, he squinted his eyes and looked at Seishtu, but he had even prepared the worst plan in his heart.

Seeing Cao Yong's sneer, Lu Mubu became suspicious, and just wanted to ask Cao Yi who this person was.

At this time, Cao Yong had already said to the trembling concierge: "What are you doing stupidly, my second child is here, why don't you open the door quickly?"

Cao Yicai regained his composure, let go of Seshtu's arm, raised his leg, and headed for the door.Saishitu lost his strength and couldn't help but staggered. Fortunately, Lu Mubu was beside him and quickly reached out to help him.

Besides, the porter was terrified. Although he listened to Cao Yong's order, he didn't dare to do anything. Cao Yi rushed up and ignored the porter. While pulling the latch, he called loudly, "Second Brother, is that you?"

"Turtle..." Cao Song wanted to yell loudly, but when he heard Cao Yi's voice, he immediately stopped speaking, mixed with joy and anger, and replied loudly: "Third sister, brother is here to deal with that bastard!"

Lu Mubu was so scared that he couldn't help taking a step back, and he couldn't figure out what crime Seshtu had committed, which made Cao's natal family call him.

The door opened, and Cao Song, who was busy in the world, strode in with staring eyes. Seeing Cao Yi's thinness, his face flushed with anger, and he said angrily, "Third sister, that bastard actually bullied you like this!! Fuck him, see if I don't kill him!" While speaking, he was about to rush in.

Cao Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab his arm, blushing and said, "Brother is here!"

"Huh? Brother?" Cao Song looked left and right, standing a few steps away, smiling at him was his elder brother Cao Yong whom he hadn't seen for several months.

When Cao Song heard about his brother at first, he was worried that he would reveal his truth about beating Jiang Ning and running back privately, and he was afraid that he would be scolded.Seeing Cao Yong smiled to himself, his heart suddenly felt at ease, he grinned, "hehe" laughed twice, and said, "Brother, you are here too!"

Cao Yong saw that his complexion was dark, his lips were chapped, and his plain clothes were full of dust. He thought that Jiang Ning had traveled two thousand miles to the capital, and there would be no words of blame. He nodded mildly.

Cao Yong was still a little strange in his heart, the front yard was in such a commotion, why didn't the old lady Jueluo come out?Thinking of Wei Hei and Xiao Man who hadn't shown up for a long time, he looked around, and as expected, he saw Wei Hei slipping over the neck of a servant.

The ones who followed Cao Song to Beijing, besides his little servant Mo Shu, were actually Wu Sheng and a few long-term followers who were born in front of him.They followed Cao Song into the courtyard and greeted Cao Yong and Cao Yi one after another.

Here the brothers of the Cao family gathered together, all looking at Seishtu supported by Lu Mubu.Lu Mubu panicked in his heart, afraid that this group of people would attack again, so he turned his body slightly forward, looked at Cao Yi, and begged: "Sister-in-law..."

Cao Yi didn't pay attention to him, and was frowning at the moment, wiping the dust off Cao Song's face with a handkerchief, and blamed him: "If you don't keep your filial piety at home, why did you come to Beijing? You don't have to call the elders We are worried, did you say hello to your parents? You are the one who sneaked out!" At the end, he was already a little annoyed.

Cao Song glanced at Lu Mubu, but when he turned to Cao Yi, he smiled all over his face and said with a bit of flattery: "Third sister, don't worry, uncle and aunt have already greeted you; mother, coax her to say hello." I have something to go to Shandong to find my brother!"

Cao Yong was about to go to see Seishtu, when he heard Cao Song's flattering words over there, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, this child has learned to lie now.With his small appearance, it would be strange if he dared to tell the truth in front of Cao Yin, but it would be good if he could remember to leave a book.

When Lu Mubu saw him coming, he wanted to protect Seshtu behind him, but Seshtu was stronger than him, and in a panic, he almost pulled Seshtu to the ground.

Here, Cao Yong has stretched out his hand, and poked Seishtu's nose under his nose. Cao Yong also breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Saishitu's eyelids moved and he woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to see Cao Yong. He forced a smile and said, "Brother!"

Cao Yong listened to that claim, completely forgot just now that he was afraid of the trouble of the dead, he just felt itchy, and really wanted to give him a few more bricks.Before he could speak, Cao Song snorted coldly and said, "Saishitu, do you still have the nerve to call my brother big brother? How did you respond when you took my third sister out?" Speaking of which, Then he said to Cao Yong: "Brother, our nephews are gone because of him being a wife. How can such a person be worthy of the third sister?"

Seishtu panicked, looked at Cao Yong, and wanted to argue, but was at a loss for words, and didn't know what to say, so he froze there.

Cao Yong's face became colder and colder. He looked back at Cao Yi, who was standing beside Cao Song, who was a bit cramped, and said to Sai Shitu: "My little girl has a bad temper, and I hurt you when I got angry. How about it, Send someone to the infantry yamen to call for an officer to come over!"

Because the Cao family and the Jueluo family are both in the banner, if there is a dispute or a lawsuit, they will not go to the Yamen of Shuntianfu, but will be under the jurisdiction of the Yamen led by the infantry.

If you want to be an official, Cao Song is not right to hit people, but at least he has the protection of "indignation", and he now wears the rank of fifth-rank Yunqiwei on his body; There is only the title of General Feng En of the fourth rank.Although one of the two is a public lord and the other is a clan lord, Cao Song may not suffer a loss if they really file a lawsuit.What's more, after all, Seishtu had a filial piety violation before, and Cao Song's brother-in-law happened to be a filial son.

It's just that after being approved by the official, it will be difficult for Seshitu not to "reconcile and leave"; if he "sentences to leave" at that time, not only will his reputation be ruined, but he will offend many people.
But Seshtu couldn't think of this yet, although he hated his brother-in-law's behavior of using bricks to smash himself, he still felt a little guilty.Therefore, when Cao Yong said that he wanted to be an officer, he hurriedly said: "Brother, no need, no need! It's okay!" While talking, he smiled at Cao Yi and comforted him: "I'm fine, don't worry about it!"

Cao Song's eyes widened, and just about to scold him for not being so sentimental, Cao Yi had already stepped forward, took Seishtu's arm, and said to everyone: "Let's talk in the room!"

A fluttering sentence, heard in everyone's ears, but the response is different.

Cao Yong looked at Cao Yi holding Seishtu's hand, and felt a little sour in his heart. This silly girl, is this a choice?
Cao Song was very annoyed, and looked at Cao Yi's hand eagerly. If his brother wasn't there, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly, for fear that he would rush forward, pull his sister back, and then kick that bastard Seshitu out.

Lu Mubu clicked his tongue secretly. This sister-in-law usually looks very weak, but now she sees her husband's head is full of blood, but she doesn't blink her eyes and walks steadily. Come.

Saishitu only regarded his wife as protecting himself, and was very grateful in his heart, and whispered to Cao Yi: "I made you difficult, I'm sorry!"

When Cao Yi heard this, his footsteps paused, but he didn't respond.

Everyone sat down in the hall, Cao Yi asked Wei Hei to let go of the servant boy and sent him to invite the doctor over.Wei Hei glanced at Cao Yong, seeing him nodding, Fang let go of his hand.

The boy almost fell off his ass, got up in a hurry and went out to ask the doctor.

Lu Mubu knew that this was a family matter, and he, an outsider, should avoid it, but look at the two brothers from the Cao family who were not kind. , but there is only one person, who can't get angry even after being beaten.

His elder brother left early, and he was the only one left in the family.When I was a child, I fought with other children from the Baylor Mansion of the royal family. Brothers and nephews fought together in other families, but he only had Dan Teng'er on his side, and he knew the pain of not having a brother to support him.

Now, seeing that Seshtu was alone and at a disadvantage, Lu Mubu felt a little annoyed, and thought of staying. If he fought again, two against two, Seshtu would not suffer.

There was silence in the room, and no one responded.

Cao Yi helped Saishitu clean up the blood stains on his face, and he trembled when he saw the blood on his forehead. "A husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of kindness", it is false to say that she doesn't feel sorry for Seshtu, but what she thinks more is that if she hits harder this time, or hits her brains, the younger brother is afraid that she will be sued If she fails, she will pay for her life... Thinking of implicating her younger brother, her hands trembled, she was so scared that she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Seshitu thought it was his appearance that frightened his wife, so he squeezed out a smile and comforted him and said, "It's really not a problem, it will be fine in three or two days. Come on, it's much hotter than this!"

After Cao Song heard this, he wanted to taunt Seishtu again, but seeing Cao Yi's face turned pale, he really scared his sister, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, why did he blatantly hit the bastard on the head? Arms or his legs, let's see if he can still squeeze out this ghostly look to pretend to be pitiful, it's so contemptuous.

Hearing the hurried footsteps of "Deng Deng", Xiao Man ran in from the door and said to Cao Yong: "My in-laws... no, the old lady Jue Luo is here!"

Cao Yi saw Seshitu injured like this, and thought of her mother-in-law Xi Tara, feeling a little uneasy.However, after looking back at his elder brother and younger brother, he slowly calmed down again.Although she didn't want to make Sitara sad, she also didn't want her elder brother and younger brother to be blamed.If the mother-in-law really wants to investigate, then let her bear it all by herself.

Xi Tara's body was stiff, and she came from the backyard with a few maids and wives.Just now I heard movement in the front yard, and asked someone to ask questions at the second door, only to say that it was all right, and then I heard a faint knock on the door.

After all, she has lived for most of her life, and the old lady has more experience, and knows that the eldest son of the Cao family looks friendly, but he may not be a good one, otherwise the family with the yellow flag would not be ashamed.

Perhaps it was because of the connection between the flesh and the heart, the old lady felt her eyelids twitching violently, and she couldn't calm down after reciting the Buddha's name several times, so she finally got off the kang and came to the front yard in person.

Generally speaking, Cao Yong originally had a good impression of the old lady of Jueluo's family, and felt that she was more sensible, and the key was to treat Ping'er better.However, after learning about Seshtu, this good impression disappeared.

However, because of Cao Yi's concern, Cao Yong didn't want to embarrass his sister, so when he saw Xi Tara stepping into the living room, he got up from his seat.

Mrs. Xi Tala looked around in the hall, and was surprised to see the second son of the Cao family there, but seeing his son's head was covered in blood and flesh, he didn't care about anything else, he just felt cold hands and feet, squeaked, and couldn't speak for a while. .

Afraid that Sitara might be in a hurry, Seshtu struggled to get up from his seat, but his eyes darkened and he almost fell down.Fortunately, Cao Yi was watching, but his body swayed.

Seshitu's head was so heavy that he tried hard not to faint, and said to Xi Tara with a smile: "Emiang, my son just went to drink with Xiaolu, and accidentally fell and knocked his forehead. It's not a problem, it's okay. Get in the way!"

Seeing that his son's voice was not loud, Xi Tala's voice was still calm. Although there were blood stains on his body, his arms, legs and feet did not seem to have other injuries, so he felt relieved.But, who would believe his words of wrestling and hitting his forehead?Looking at the faces of the Cao family brothers, one was full of anger and disdain, and the other was neither sad nor happy, and the old lady didn't understand.

In the early years, she saw this play a lot.If it weren't for the five brothers in her natal family, she wouldn't be so stubborn in Jueluo's family.Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but lose half of her anger towards the Cao brothers.But, after all, he is his own son, it doesn't matter if he beats and scolds him, if he is taught by others, he still feels a little bit annoyed.

Xi Tara's face gradually calmed down. He entered the living room and sat on the main seat. He stopped looking at his son and said to Cao Yong very kindly: "My dear son, is this a business trip to Beijing? Let you catch up with this mess Yes, I am really ashamed!"

If the old lady cried and cried to see her son, or made a noise, Cao Yong would not have other thoughts, but her calmness was a bit different from ordinary people.

Cao Yong answered the wrong question: "I thought Brother Sai was a trustworthy person, but now, Cao Yong is a little confused, and I would like to trouble Mrs. Jueluo to explain the confusion to the younger generation!"

Xi Tara frowned slightly, and continued: "The eldest son of the in-laws is also a person who gets married and has children.
He also took good care of his in-laws! "

Cao Yong listened and couldn't help laughing.Whose daughter is not a daughter?If he really felt sorry for Chu Yu, he would have nothing to say when Hong Shu and the others called him.

Xi Tara is not a troublesome person either, knowing that when it comes to discussing this matter, it is ultimately his son's fault, so he said: "Even my brothers and sisters have quarrels, it's not a big deal, why bother to mobilize everyone? This is really a big deal! "

Cao Yong smiled, looked at Xi Tara, and said seriously: "Mrs. Jueluo, just now when you entered the door and saw brother Sai injured, what did you feel in your heart? There are some wounds that cannot be seen or touched, but they are even more painful. My heart hurts!" Having said this, he looked at Cao Yi and stopped talking.It's not here to quarrel with the old lady, just a few words to deal with.

What will happen in the end depends on Cao Yi's intentions. Seeing Cao Yi's actions, he doesn't seem to be ruthless towards Seishtu.Cao Yong had some headaches, seeing that his younger sister was a little tricky when she was helping her mother with housekeeping at home; why did she look like this little woman when she went out?Not to worry about.

In fact, when he said that he wanted to call someone to report to the infantry office, in addition to excuse Cao Song in advance, Cao Yong also meant to test Pinger.If Ping'er was really impatient at Jueluo's house, he would take her away no matter what.

Cao Yi listened to her mother-in-law and elder brother's wit, Cao Song and Lu Mubu did not understand these words, even Seshtu might not understand them all, but she could hear her brother's concern and mother-in-law's dissatisfaction.

Thinking of his elder brother and younger brother, one from Jiangning and the other from Shandong, returning to Beijing for thousands of miles, Cao Yi couldn't help but get red eyes, regret and self-blame in his heart.I am really useless. Over the years, I have been worrying.

Before he knew it, Cao Yi sat up straight, looked at his elder brother who loved him the most, the younger brother who was closest to him, and then at his mother-in-law who taught her painstakingly, and said, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me. !"

Everyone looked at her, even Seishtu.With tears in his eyes, Cao Yi first said to Cao Yong and Cao Song: "It's all my fault, I made my elder brother and second younger brother worry about me! Originally, I didn't want everyone to worry about me, so I hid any sadness. Now You know, the elder brother is the elder brother, and the second younger brother will always be the second younger brother! There is nothing to worry about, and no one will worry about it anymore!"

Cao Song was confused, and muttered: "The older brother is not the older brother, the younger brother is not the younger brother, what is that?"

Cao Yong heard what she meant, and he didn't know whether to be happy for her or regret her choice, and sighed in his heart.

After Cao Yi finished talking to his brother, he turned his head to look at his mother-in-law, and said, "Er Niang, it's all about the daughter-in-law's fault. It's really unfilial to make Er Niang worry about it. The daughter-in-law knows what to do in the future!"

Seeing that although Cao Yi was in tears, but his small face was full of determination, Sitara felt very relieved, and nodded with a smile.

Seshtu only felt a little chilly all over his body, and shivered a few times in a daze.
