Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 449 Wandering Dragon Dance Blessings and Misfortunes ([-])

When Cao Yong changed his clothes and went to Songyuan to see Cao Shuo with Chu Yu, Mrs. Zhao Jia was already sitting by the kang, chattering with Cao Shuo endlessly.

Cao Shuo half sat on the kang, lowered his head, and listened obediently without making a sound.

Seeing Cao Yong and his wife enter the house, Zhao Jia stopped talking.

Seeing his cousin and sister-in-law coming, Cao Shuo wanted to get down from the kang to see the ceremony, Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "Lie down soon, you are all from your own family, what are you doing with those vain gifts?"

When he said this, Cao Yong felt a little bit embarrassed.

When he first came to this world in the early years, Cao Song was still a naughty child, and Cao Shuo was babbling.Now that the two brothers have grown into young men, Cao Yong really feels like a parent.

Cao Shuo sat on the kang, leaned over and said, "Brother, sister-in-law!"

Cao Song was originally sitting on a chair on the ground, but now he has stood up and gave up his seat to his brother and sister-in-law.Cao Yong sat down, Chu Yu just stood aside, listening to their brothers talking.

Seeing that Cao Shuo was better, Cao Yong asked about medicine and diet.

Mrs. Zhao Jia, who was at the side, had something to say, looked at Cao Shuo a few times, hesitated for a while, but finally did not speak.

Everyone sat here for a while, and when the servant girl brought medicine to Cao Shuo, they all came out.

After leaving Songyuan, Zhao Jia turned around and said to Cao Yong and Chu Yu: "You are brothers and sisters-in-law, I happen to have some things to discuss with you. Nephew and daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I have to trouble you."

Cao Yong and Chu Yu looked at each other, but they didn't understand what Zhao Jia said.It's just that it's not easy to ask too many questions on the way, so the two agreed, and accompanied Zhao Jia to Shaoyuan.

After sitting on the kang, Mrs. Zhaojia ordered Cao Yong to sit with Chuyu, then looked at Cao Song and said, "Which family girl do you see, you should tell us today. If the family status is the same, Just ask your sister-in-law to help you see each other!"

Cao Song was also planning to talk about it today, but he was a bit awkward about his family background, so he said, "It's a side branch of Duke Wenshun's mansion. She, Ama, was a guard in the palace before her death."

The front is fine, but who doesn’t know that Mr. Dong E’s Gentleman is a wealthy family, and most of the girls from his family are drafted, and kept in the palace for the princes, grandchildren, and clansmen to marry; But he frowned a little and asked, "Since there is no father, what is the official rank and title of grandfather? Or will he live with his uncle?"

Cao Song lowered his head and said, "Living with her uncle. Her uncle served as the governor outside earlier, but now he is honored!"

"Miss nephew of the Governor's Mansion!" Mrs. Zhao Jia pondered for a moment, then turned her head and asked Cao Yongtong Chuyu, "You are brothers and sisters-in-law, so you have to worry about it and help inquire about your appearance. If the girl If you have a good tutor, you have to ask your nephew and daughter-in-law to help you to see each other."

When Cao Yong and Chu Yu heard what Zhao Jia said, although they felt that it was a little inappropriate, but Cao Song begged with his eyes sideways, and they didn't have much to say, so they answered vaguely.

Although Mrs. Zhao Jia has been thinking about her son's marriage for a long time in the past year, she still has some doubts about whether this is really coming.

Marrying at this time, pay attention to "higher than higher, lower into", the daughter-in-law should marry the lower family, and the girl should marry the higher family.Although Mrs. Zhao Jia said that he was thinking about finding a good marriage for his sons, which could be regarded as a help, but he was also afraid that he would look at his wife's eyes when he was getting old.

If that's the case, how can Zhao Jia, who has been so strong all his life, stand it?
When everyone went out, Zhao Jia asked Luju to pack a cigarette, took a sip, and sighed to Luju: "It would be great if the master is here, why should I worry about these things? Even if the elder master and the eldest wife are in Beijing, it will be fine. We can finally discuss it."

Lu Ju replied: "Uncle and Grandma have always loved Second Master, and will help out, Madam, don't worry!"

Zhao Jia took a puff and said, "It's not just for your second master, hey..."

Indus Court, the upper room.

Cao Song stood there, begging a bit, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, just help my brother through this!"

Cao Yong frowned, not knowing what to say for a while.

Although I thought about helping Jinghui find a good relative to adopt and take care of her before talking about marriage, but because it was related to Jinghui and Cao Song's life, I couldn't be rash, so I wanted to find a more appropriate excuse.

On Cao Song's side, it seemed that he knew about Zhao Jia's weakness, and threw down the two big hats of "official branch of the government" and "governor's niece", leaving Zhao Jia speechless.

It's just that this important matter of marriage doesn't just happen once.

After all, living at home, if the marriage is finalized and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along with each other in the future, if Zhao Jia blames her, it will be Jinghui who will suffer.

Seeing that his brother didn't respond, Cao Song was so anxious that tears came out.

He is too old to be scolded or beaten. Cao Yong also had a headache and said: "In the future, do you want your daughter-in-law to suffer, or do you want to disobey your mother? I have never heard of anyone. I married my daughter-in-law with my parents in the dark! What do you think? The family status is so high, the more the second aunt expects, the more disappointed she will be in the future. If you talk about a decent family, if we trust someone Good luck."

Cao Song said pitifully: "Mother has been talking about my cousin for a long time, and my younger brother is afraid that this side will be low-level, and mother will feel inferior to the other side."

On the other side of the palace, the fifth-generation grandson of He Li, Duke Wen Shun, is now inheriting the title. He is Jinghui's cousin, and he has no relationship with the Cao family.

If it's another family, it's okay, ask someone to talk about it, but it's just a nominal in-laws.Cao's family is the earl's mansion, and Cao Yin and his son are all trustworthy ministers of the emperor. Most people would be happy to marry Cao's family.

On the other side of Wen Shun's mansion, it is close to the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, but Cao Yong is afraid to avoid it.

Others, however, depend on Yi Duli or Fu Nai.It is not difficult to get married, but it is not easy to live in the future.

Cao Yong was really impatient to worry about these things, so he glared at Cao Song.He also hesitated in his heart, thinking of helping Cao Song, but also afraid that Cao Song would not grow up and delay Jinghui.

However, when he saw the purse on the coffee table, Cao Yong remembered the beaded piece that Jue Luo gave him.He took out the bracelet from his purse, handed it to Chuyu, and said, "This is a hundred-day gift from the old lady to Tianhui. She said it was consecrated. Let's see if it is hung by the cradle!"

Chu Yu took it, and saw that it was an ancient object, and said, "This...isn't it too expensive, over there, didn't you hear that life is not spacious?"

Cao Yong nodded and said: "There is no way, the old man insists on giving it, but he can't push it. This string of beads can be kept outside the city for a long time after being exchanged for silver. We can't take it for nothing. Think of something that will make a difference." It would be nice to return the gift!"

Chu Yu put it away, and said: "It's hard to think about it. There are only two grandparents and grandchildren left, helpless. I'm afraid that the old man's heart is really worried, and it is also Jing girl's marriage."

Hearing the words, Cao Yong thought of Jing Hui's impression of being weak and cute, so he gave Cao Song a sideways look and said, "What can Jing Hui say, but she has a crush on you?"

Cao Song rubbed the back of his head and muttered: "She said she is a commoner girl, and she is not worthy of me."

Chu Yu looked at the beads in his hand, thinking of Jing Hui's usual kindness, his heart softened, and he said with a smile: "It's just to get in the way of her name, and find a family. Although Jing Hui's family is not as good as before, there are many relatives. Maybe Their power, when the old man is alienated from Jinghui, if we send people to tell them, there will be no one who will disagree with the family here." At the end, he looked at Cao Yong and said: "Isn't that right, forehead?"

This is to go with Cao Yong, but Cao Yong is not afraid that Jinghui will not be able to find a place to marry, but is worried that his younger brother will spoil the girl.

He glanced at Cao Song, and it was really that Cao Song was too childish on weekdays, which made people feel uneasy.

Cao Song saw that his sister-in-law relaxed.Joy already appeared on his face, he was glanced at by his brother, and he took it back, muttering: "Brother..."

Cao Yong had a serious look on his face, and said: "I tell you, Xiao Er, no one can keep you alone. Since you asked for it, you should cherish your blessing..."

Jiangning, Weaving Mansion, Kaiyang Courtyard
When it was time to eat the evening, Cao Yin came back with his nephew Cao Fu.

On the outer kang, there are already large and small bags, all of which are usually used by Tianyou.Tianyou was sitting on the top of the kang, lying on the kang table, playing with jigsaw puzzles.

Seeing his grandfather and uncle coming back, the little guy put down the jigsaw puzzle in his hand and stretched out his arms to hug him.

Cao Yin stepped forward to receive it in his arms, raised it high, and said: "What have you been doing today, have you missed your grandfather?"

Tianyou giggled, opened his mouth, showing a mouthful of small white teeth, and said in a childlike voice, "My grandma and I hid cats in the warehouse. I want to call my grandfather and my fifth uncle. It's fun."

Cao Yin was puzzled and looked at Mrs. Li suspiciously.

Li Shi said: "There are a lot of gold and silver wares in the warehouse, all of which are not needed. I want to ask someone to transport them to the middle of Beijing. Didn't the master mention Yong'er to buy a sacrificial field last time, and he didn't always ask his son to pay for it." reason."

Seeing his uncle and aunt talking, Cao leaned forward, took Tianyou over, and carried him to the top of the kang to play.

After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Cao Yin nodded and said, "Well, the things here need to be neat and orderly. I have already written a letter of resignation. If I have the grace of the Lord Long Live, I may be able to return to Beijing to retire at the end of the year. Already!"

Mrs. Li thought she was a servant, and couldn't speak in a daze.

Cao Fu was at the side, already showing some joy, and said: "Uncle, are we going to Beijing?"

Cao Yin nodded lovingly and said, "Yes, you miss your mother and brother too, don't you?"

Cao Fu said: "I think about it, but my nephew also knows that my aunt misses my eldest brother and sister-in-law. In this way, my aunt won't have to wipe her tears in the future!"

Only then did Li turn around, her eye circles were already red, but she was too embarrassed to cry in front of the children.She trembled her lips and said, "Master, is it true, are we really going to Beijing?"

Cao Yin cupped his fists to the north, and said: "For this, I still have to rely on the grace of the Long Live Lord. It's just that I have no intention of going, and I have begged again and again in the booklet. The Long Live Lord is the most benevolent, and I think he will be merciful. "

Mrs. Li was overjoyed, tears couldn't stop shedding, said: "If this is the case, it is really a great kindness. To be able to go to my son and daughter-in-law, and An Sheng to coax my granddaughter for two years, I will not ask for more in the rest of my life!"

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Tianyou looked at the elders so happy, raised his head and asked, "When you come to Beijing, do you mean to go to Father's side? Isn't there a lot of delicious food?"

Cao Yin and Li Shi couldn't laugh or cry when they heard the child's words.

Cao Fu patted Tianyou's little head, and said: "It's a waste of brother and sister-in-law thinking about you so much, sending people to come every month, but you only remember to eat."

Tianyou pulled Cao Fu's hand, and begged, "Uncle Wu, let's hold the evidence!"

Cao Fu was so entangled that he had no choice but to sit on the edge of the kang, leaning sideways, holding hands with Tianyou, and playing with him.

"Pull the big saw, pull the big saw. Run the big horse, sing the big show.

Invite your daughter, respect your son-in-law, and stay with your mother-in-law for two days.

All the daughters of others have arrived, but my daughter has not come yet..."

Mrs. Li waited for Cao Yin to change clothes, and at the same time asked people to set meals, and said: "It is good to live in the middle of the capital, but it will not be cheap if you want to visit your mother in the future. Counting the days, Ding'er took over the house in the capital. The daughter left by the concubine's room is about to give birth to the full moon. The last letter said that she was taken care of by her mother. Although the old man is rare for children, it is because of his age. It is not easy to treat children, and I am afraid that the old man will be tired, which is really worrying... "

Suzhou, weaving mansion, inner house.

Gao Shi sat on the kang, humming a lullaby, rocking the cradle gently, looking at the baby in the swaddle with a loving expression on his face.

After seeing the baby closed its eyes and gradually fell asleep, Gao stopped making noises and called his mother and mother-in-law to carry the cradle to the warm pavilion.

Now, Li Xu's wife died of illness, and the old lady of the Wen family is old again, and the inner house is taken care of by Li Nai's wife, Sun family.Although Mrs. Sun is virtuous, her housework is mediocre. It is a bit difficult to manage this big mansion.
