Chapter 1003 Cleaning (Part 1)

Cao Yong couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

No wonder Cao Ying asked the housekeeper to come and find him. Although Cao Ying and Sun Jue live separately, if Sun Jue returns to Beijing, Cao Ying has no reason to turn it out.

But at this time, what did Sun Jue want to enter Beijing?

Sun's house, front hall.

Sun Jue sat upright in his master's seat, his eyes hanging from all around him. There were a few pieces that looked familiar. He narrowed his eyes. The sandalwood screen stamped with the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea was one of Cao Ying's dowry items.

This thing, one and a half feet tall, about half a foot wide, is made of the inner craftsmanship, and looks very charming. It is the most exquisite thing in Cao Ying's dowry. Speaking of which, it is the old lady of the Cao family who was the dowry in her early years, and she added makeup to her eldest granddaughter.

Sun Jue used this screen to make a 120 taels of silver in the pawnshop at the front door.

"Where did this object come from?" Sun Jue drooped his face and pointed at the screen and asked, "Is it because the old lady gave you to you back then, it was not one piece, it was a pair?"

Thinking of this possibility, his eyes at Cao Ying were also a little sharp. Although hiding a dowry in private is not considered a bad deed, it was not done by a virtuous woman.

Cao Ying had been a couple with him for more than ten years, and after listening to this, he naturally understood his implicit meaning.

She was so angry that she trembled all over and gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you always know more clearly than myself?"

These things were all used by Sun Jue in his early years as pawnshop in the Duke's Mansion. Cao Yi felt sorry for his sister and left them alone and gave them to her.

Cao Ying was so strong that she refused to ask for it for nothing, so she wanted to give money to Cao Yi.

Cao Yi was not willing to accept it, so he would not allow his sister to refuse at all, so he asked someone to send it directly.

Both of the Cao family daughters, Cao Ying felt uncomfortable when he saw that his two sisters lived a happy life, but he was so embarrassed.

She thought of Cao Yi's good deeds and finally took over the things, but she was unwilling to take advantage of it. While her sister gave birth to a child, she also prepared a heavy gift. Although she was not as valuable as the dowry she was deceived, she also spent 1,800 taels of silver.

When she was living in branch houses, she had some money in her hands, but later she was afraid of spending nothing, so she bought a few hectares of land in front of her small village. In this way, the amount of money in her hands was limited.

Even so, Cao Ying's shame cannot be erased.

She is the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Cao family. After her father passed away, she could not take care of her younger brothers and sisters, but instead made them worry about themselves. How could she not be ashamed?

The man in front of him should have loved and protected her, and was the person she was closest to, but he was hypocritical and lustful, and had no virtue, which made her humiliated.

She straightened her waist, and the cowardly aura that had stayed between her eyebrows in her early years was gone, leaving only firmness and decisiveness.

Sun Jue was robbed by his wife and couldn't stand his face. He stared at him and said, "What do you mean? Isn't it that I am greedy for your dowry? You, a black-hearted woman, turn your elbows outwards, collude with your parents to plot against the Sun family's property, do not care about your husband, and are disrespectful to your husband, and are lawless!"

Seeing that he was sarcastic, Cao Ying couldn't help but sneer and said, "Planning for the Sun family's industry? What industry does the Sun family have? Is it worth the Cao family's concern? You and I live in separate branches. It was originally agreed by the master. Now the uncle is still talking about it. What's the point?"

Sun Jue was choked and swallowed hard, saying, "After marrying, you are a good life, but you are accustomed to these monsters! My grandfather doesn't care about villains, you don't care about it."

When Cao Ying saw him playing a scoundrel, he talked to himself, but just raised his eyebrows and looked at him without repeating the situation.

Sun Jue was wearing a big sweater that was not old and not old, and a brocade purse was hung around his waist. The purse was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. The embroidery worker was quite exquisite, but the color of the ears matched was a bit brighter, which made him look a little stingy.

Seeing his wife reacting like this, Sun Jue couldn't help but be upset. He thought he had lowered his posture and gave Cao Ying enough face. Cao Ying should take the opportunity to speak softly with him, and everyone was fine.

He knew about his wife, and he was timid and had no opinion on his own. How could he lead the essay alone?

Now that the sons are old, they are going to go to school; their daughter is in their prime, and when they are preparing for the draft, the whole family needs him as the head of the family.

Thinking of this, he raised his chin and showed a little bit of color.

As for the fact that he spent all his money in Xuzhou and could not gain a foothold, he thought of an amnesty when he heard Kangxi's death and came to the capital to find an opportunity. Naturally, he would not tell others about these internal stories.

In order to save money, he only hired a carriage and took a servant to the two of them into Beijing. The house in Xuzhou was sold to pay off the debt. The remaining family and maids were asked to take back to Hangzhou by the eldest concubine Xie.

When he arrived in the capital and paid for the car, he spent less than fifty taels of silver on his body.

If you really run away from the official position, you need money and relationships. If you don’t go back to your wife, where will he buy money?

Although he had mistakes in his early years and was punished, it was not a sin that was unforgivable, and he should also be included in this pardon.

After two years of being a civilian, he missed the glory of becoming an official. His father was not of high rank, but he had a brother-in-law from his uncle's house, so it was not difficult to add an official.

The more Sun Jue thought about it, the more beautiful he became, Cao Ying looked at it, and there was a little sneer on the corner of his mouth. He was just thinking about the time when Cao Yong came, and hesitating whether to let others go, so as to avoid being able to get out of the way and not waiting for others.

Just then, the incense in the yard sounded footsteps.

Then, I heard the voice of the butler Xu Sheng: "Grandma, uncle is here!"

After hearing this, Cao Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to greet him.

On Sun Jue's side, when he heard the three words "Uncle" and his eyes immediately lit up and he also stood up with his wife.

"Sister!" Cao Yong entered the house, saw Cao Ying, and said withdrew.

"Furuo is here! I haven't seen you some days, but I've seen you cleared down." Sun Jue pushed forward very enthusiastically and said.

Although Cao Yong was unwilling to break up with the Sun family, he would not feel relieved that Sun Jue stayed at Cao Ying's place: "My brother-in-law has entered Beijing, go, go to Qingfu Hall to welcome his brother-in-law!"

Qingfu Hall is a famous restaurant in the city, near the Drum Tower.

Sun Jue was just about to establish a relationship with Cao Yong, but he was naturally overjoyed to follow him.

He almost had a flower smiling on his face, and he had already forgotten in his mind that it was because of Cao Yong's decision that Cao Ying won a great victory two years ago.

He straightened his chest and said to Cao Ying: "You are going to Tongfuruo for wine. You can prepare sobering soup and then ask the kitchen to boil more hot water. You will come back to take a shower later!"

Cao Ying was about to speak and refute, but Cao Yong spoke in surprise: "My brother-in-law wants to stay here? Isn't it apart? This house is in the name of my elder sister, so why do you want to leave a man to spend the night at will?" After saying that, the eyes of Cao Ying were a little blamed.

Seeing that his cousin spoke out to help him, Cao Ying knew how to go down the steps and said, "I misunderstood. The old man just passed by and came back to take a look, and he didn't plan to stay here."

The siblings sang together, blocking Sun Jue speechless.

He glared at his wife fiercely, turned to look at Cao Yong and refused to speak.

Cao Yong was impatient and said to himself: "Since that's the case, let's go."

If Sun Jue had the temper of the past, he could not get what he wanted and would have been making trouble long ago. Now he was afraid of Cao Yong, so he suppressed his anger and followed him out.

In front of the screen wall at the door, Sun Jue's servant was carrying Sun Jue's luggage and staying there. Because he was wearing thin clothes, he was trembling and looked very pitiful. Seeing Sun Jue come out, he immediately stepped forward.

When Sun Jue saw the luggage in his hand, his face turned darker.

Cao Yong was beside him, and he saw the difference between Sun Jue.

If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for.

With Sun Jue's character, he asked for either power or money. No matter what, Cao Yong was unwilling to serve him.

After a while, I arrived at Qingfu Hall.

Cao Yong asked for a table and opened a jar of wine. In just half an hour, he poured Sun Jue into nonsense: "Lan Shi, you are waiting for me. If you buy money, I will redeem you... carry you back to be my aunt..."

"I am a sixth ministry official in the fifth rank... If I do it properly, it will be better to be promoted to a prefect, and it will not be difficult..."

This statement was confirmed with Cao Yong's speculation, and Cao Yong looked at Sun Jue with amusement.

He is so humble that Sun Jue is notorious when he left. Now, he is just two years old, and he is like he is fine and has started to daydream.

Cao Yong sent someone to pay the bill and asked Xiaoman to take someone to send Sun Jue to the inn to settle, but he returned to Sun's house.

Sun Li and Sun Chu brothers came back from school and came out to pay their respects to their uncle.

When Cao Yong saw Sun Li, he remembered what Chu Yu said before and asked him a few words to take the exam. Sun Li discussed the course of his studies and how the teacher commented and supervised, and said it one by one, and the structure was very clear.

Cao Yong heard this and became a little happy. When he remembered his two cousins, both of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old, he nodded and said, "Since you want to go, then go. Your fourth uncle and uncle are also the ones who are at this age. But you are young at the end, don't think too much, so as not to be too concerned, unable to concentrate, and delay the exam."

The two brothers of Cao Xiang are both Jinshi, and Cao Xiang is still a first-class Tanhua.

In Sun Li's eyes, Cao Yong, the uncle in the head of the uncle's family, should be respected; Cao Xiang's brothers were what he wanted to get close to and look up to.

Therefore, after hearing Cao Yong's encouragement, Sun Li couldn't help but feel excited.

Cao Ying had something to do in his mind, and the smile on his face was a little stiff, so he sent Sun Li and the others down.

"Sister, don't worry!" Cao Yong comforted her when he saw her uneasiness.

Cao Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "How can I not worry? Although I have a document to separate my family, this is the Sun family. He is my husband and Li Ge'er's father. How can I keep him out? If I really do that, it will attract the fun of my neighbors, how can Li Ge'er be a human being in the future?"

Cao Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, you have to think of a way to expel him from the capital..."

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Peace of Heart outside the Yuehua Gate.

"Is there any movement in the Sun family?" Yongzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Hangzhou is not far from the capital. How big is the movement? Will it be transmitted to the capital now?"

The Thirteenth Prince shook his head and said, "It's not Sun Wencheng's side in Hangzhou, but Sun Wencheng's eldest son. Sun Jue, the fifth-rank doctor, has been dismissed from office and has arrived in Beijing today. He first went to his legitimate wife Cao's place, and then met Cao Yong..."
