Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 692

Cao Mansion, study room.

"Brother..." When Cao Song came back from duty, he heard the concierge say that Cao Yong sent someone to look for him.Although he didn't know what was going on, he still came directly to Xifu.

Seeing that Cao Song was still wearing the uniform of a guard, Cao Yong said: "Is this just coming back from the palace? Do you know about the second wife going to Yongquan's house?"

Cao Song shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Okay, what are you going to Yongquan's family for? I mentioned it a few days ago, saying that my aunt came to speak for Yongquan's family. It seems that my ears are soft. Make it clear to your mother that this marriage cannot be concluded."

When Cao Yong heard the words, he was quite relieved. Finally, his younger brother was not confused and could listen to his own words.In a few words, he briefly stated what Zhao Jia had decided to visit Yongquan's family today.

On Cao Song's side, he was already stunned, and murmured, "Why is his family involved?"

Cao Yong raised his head and said: "Second brother, I have also told you about the grievances between Yongquan and Prince Jian's mansion. Not to mention that Yongquan has bad intentions and wants to use our family; just talk about his temper. How can an arrogant and indulgent person have evil servants who hurt others? Getting married to such a family will not only ruin your reputation, but you will not know how much trouble you will get into in the future. Even if your father is in Beijing, he will not agree to this marriage. "

On Cao Song's side, thinking of Yongquan's pretentiousness that day, he had no sympathy at all, and said bitterly: "This is a yellow tape, and he is an actor, but he is very good at singing and writing. I don't know what tricks he used, otherwise he wouldn't have done it." It caused my mother to change her mind." At this point, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Brother, what should we do now?"

"A proper way, I don't have it for a while. I just heard from your sister-in-law that the second aunt wants No. 18 to make an order at the general's mansion. You must stop this. If that is the case, there will be no room for withdrawing the marriage." It is." Cao Yong said.

Cao Song nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll go back and talk to my mother."

"Second brother, you should also take on some things. Say it well, for the sake of peace in the family in the future, you must make up your mind." Cao Yong thought for a while and ordered.

Cao Song agreed, and Cao Yong waved his hand, saying: "It's getting late, let's go back first..."

After Cao Song left, Cao Yong did not leave the study immediately.He sat behind the desk, thinking of Yong Quan who is a good singer and composer, and he also felt a headache.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two capitals of the Cao family, father and son, are full of beauty.It's just because their father and son are respectful people, so they don't have any reason to gossip.

There is Yongquan who can cry and be kind, and if this matter of retiring is not done properly, it will make the Cao family bear the notoriety of "arrogant".If you don't retreat, having Yongquan as an in-law would be like planting a bomb.

Cao Yong took a long breath, stretched out his hand, and poured himself half a cup of tea.

Looking at the golden tea soup in the white jade teacup, Cao Yong thought of a sentence, life is a coffee table full of cups.

For a moment, he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.

Looking out the window, the night was getting darker, and I heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

Cao Yong looked at the door, wondering if Chu Yu had sent someone here for something, and then someone opened the door curtain and came in, it was Chu Yu.

Seeing that Chuyu was holding a glazed lamp in person, and there was no maidservant behind her, Cao Yong got up and said, "Why did you come out by yourself? Be careful about slippery roads."

Chu Yu put the lamp aside, and replied with a smile: "I just came out of my wife's yard, and I heard that my son-in-law is still in the study, so I came here to give my son-in-law a lamp."

Seeing the gloomy look on Cao Yong's face, Chu Yu asked in a low voice, "Your son-in-law, are you worried about what happened today?"

Cao Yong nodded, let his wife sit by the kang, and poured a cup of tea for her.The husband and wife are talking while having tea.

"Yeah, I thought I would explain it clearly to my second brother, so I don't have to worry about it anymore, but I didn't expect another problem." Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu took a sip of tea, and said: "Just now I saw that the forehead was not right when he came out, and the wife asked if the forehead was angry. I was afraid that the wife would get angry, and the conversation would get distracted."

"In terms of marriage in the clan, are there any examples of divorce?" Cao Yong asked, thinking about his wife's identity.

Chu Yu thought for a while, and said: "It is a big taboo for ordinary people to break the contract and withdraw from the marriage. No matter what the relationship between the two families is, if there is a divorce, I am afraid that even two or three generations will not be able to get rid of it. If the clan , There are many clansmen, so I’m afraid it’s not just one or two families that will be offended. Even if the girl is dissatisfied, marrying in as a display is better than breaking the contract and resigning.”

Cao Yong only felt that his chest was stuffy, and he was being calculated for no reason, and no one felt comfortable.

Not to mention, after forming this marriage, Yongquan will be the same generation as Cao Yin in the future. When Cao Yong meets, he will also be a son and nephew.Thinking of this, Cao Yong was upset for a while, picked up the teacup, and drank the remaining half a cup of tea in one gulp.

When Chu Yu saw her husband like this, she also became worried.

She poured tea for Cao Yong, pondered for a while, and said: "My son-in-law doesn't want to marry this family, does it mean he doesn't like Yongquan's character?"

Cao Yong nodded and said: "Yeah, you didn't see it. His behavior is not half upright and responsible. He looks like a slug. It makes people look disgusting, but you have to beware of him. Yes. People like this should be kept far away, who would want to provoke them?"

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, then said: "My son-in-law, there are some in-laws in this world who are close and close, and there are also those who are estranged and lost. Maybe there is a way to save the face of the two families... and make the two families far apart. ..."

Cao Yong was having a headache because he couldn't think of a proper way, and he had already thought about writing to his father, but he was afraid that there would be too long a delay on the way.

Hearing that Chu Yu said there was a way, he couldn't help but be delighted, and hurriedly asked: "What way, tell me quickly? My brain hurts from thinking about it."

"If Chunhua Gege came here instead, it would be "benevolence and righteousness" at the General's Mansion, and our family should not treat Chunhua badly; if we still marry Yun Gege according to the original marriage contract, it is our grievance, and the General's Mansion will not treat Chunhua badly. It's not good to speak loudly..." Chu Yu said.

When Cao Yong heard this, he frowned and said: "Isn't this still a marriage? With Yongquan's temperament, he will be thick-skinned, and he will post it..."

"The matter of Yun Gege can't be covered with paper, and there are some gossips. If we get married, our reputation will suffer after all. If it is because of this, it is reasonable for husband and wife..." At this point, Chu Yu read Looking at her husband's face, the rest of the words were a little hard to say.

After all, it's not a glorious method. If the husband blames him, he will be self-defeating.

"And then..." Cao Yong's mind was spinning, and he seemed to see some eyebrows, so he hurriedly asked.

"Then, Yun Gege's 'rest and recuperation', it is reasonable for the fourth brother to marry a common wife to manage the family." Chu Yu replied softly.

This is advancing by retreating. In the eyes of outsiders, the Cao family is still the one that has been wronged. They were cheated into the marriage first, and it is righteous to not divorce their wives.Therefore, it is reasonable for the Cao family to be far away from the general's mansion, so that no one can find fault.

"It's also a way... It's hard for you to think of it. My side has gone all the way to the dark, only thinking about how to withdraw the marriage. But thinking about the other clans, I'm afraid of future troubles." Cao Yong heard the words, Looking at his wife, he was really impressed.

Chu Yu was a little uncomfortable being seen, touched her face, looked a little uncomfortable, and said: "Forehead..."

Cao Yong felt that it was inappropriate, but seeing his wife shrink back so much, he was afraid that she would lose the courage to speak, so he reached out and shook his wife's hand, saying: "It's time to brainstorm, it's really my Good wife, I'm really worried..."

When Chu Yu heard this, her heart trembled, she squeezed out a little smile, and asked, "Forehead...what are you worried about..."

"With such a smart mother, plus my wise father, God bless the three of them to grow up to be able to grow up, not to be mature..." Cao Yong replied with a smile.

In a word, Chuyu was so amusing that she also worried, added a smile, and said with a smile: "Didn't the forehead always say that one must be humble and not boast?"

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and said: "My husband also said to my wife that 'too modest is deceit', and my wife forgot..."

Seeing her husband's expression turned bright, Chu Yu became a little confused, and said in a low voice: "My son-in-law has always been kind to others, and he always acts aboveboard... I don't think there are some... some..." At the end, the voice gradually faded away. Low, after all, she came up with those methods.

"Is the method disgraceful?" Seeing his wife's embarrassment, Cao Yong took her hand, walked to the window, opened it, and said intently: "Look outside, what do you see?"

Although there are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, because tonight is cloudy, there are clouds in the sky, covering the stars and the moon, leaving only darkness.

"It's shadowy, with the light from this side, you can roughly see the screen wall on the other side." Chu Yu looked around, pointed to the screen wall in the distance, and replied.

"You look up." Cao Yong pointed to the sky.

"Up above..." Chu Yu raised his head, looked at the sky for a while, and said, "Forehead son-in-law, it's really too dark to see clearly."

"What you see is the dark sky. This day's time is divided into day and night. When people are alive, they stay in the dark. How can they always be under the sunshine." Cao Yong said slowly.

Chu Yu seemed to understand, but she could also feel that her husband's intention in saying these words was to comfort herself.

It's rare for the couple to say such things. After Cao Yong finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

He turned his head and said to Chu Yu: "Go ahead and get another booklet. We don't memorize recipes, but memorize these principles. Apart from our own understanding, we also need to teach children to know these things. Although we don't expect our children to become dragons, we hope Female Chengfeng also has to be a half-human sperm to live comfortably and comfortably in this world."

Speaking of later, Cao Yong seems to have a lot of epiphany.

After all, the husband and wife are so connected, Chuyu stood by her husband and could feel his joy, and her mood improved accordingly: "It's so fast, in a blink of an eye, they are all so old. At dinner, my wife was still talking about Hang Seng's birthday, It's only a few days away."

Cao Yong remembered the past and said: "That was the year before last, when the little guy was still in his infancy. Our second child will be promising in the future. At the beginning of this journey, everyone was worried, for fear that something would happen. Mishap. Even I was a little scared in my heart. I wondered if I should find someone to foster first. But the herdsmen I met along the way were mostly nomads. The vast prairie was sent out, and it was not easy to find it again. It was mediocre. Ann came to Beijing and grew up solidly..."
