Chapter 1006: Brother Returns (Part 1)

Sun Jue was greedy for her lust and loved her wealth, so he was the "baby" who spoke up and sweared to make a promise to be the main wife.

The two met each other, but in just ten days, they started to be an old couple, mix oil in honey, and discussed waiting for the New Year, and when they arrived at the fifteenth yamen to open the seal, they planned to fill the gap...

Sun Jue did not blame others for this "romantic encounter". Cao Yong and Cao Ying were naturally clear about this matter.

It is false to say that Cao Ying is not sad. The young couple have been together for more than ten years, and they still have a little thought in their hearts, hoping that he will "return the prodigal son" in the future. Now he is completely disappointed, but he also secretly breathes a sigh of relief.

Since I have found a wealthy widow to be an outdoor room, I can't remember to mess with them.

She knew her husband's temper, and she was not a person with long-lasting affection. It seems that the one who is pitiful now is not her, but the "eyes without eyes" and "unregular behavior".

Thinking of this, her mood gradually calmed down, and she prepared everything for the New Year, and went to the Cao family to pick up her daughter home for New Year's Eve.

When Zhao Jia saw her coming, she said that she would ask their mothers to come here to celebrate the New Year.

Jinghui and Su Xin also heard about Sun Jue's entry into Beijing, so they repeatedly advised each other.

Cao Ying remembered that every time her son came home, he would ask the concierge a few words, and he would give him repeated instructions when he went out, just because he was afraid that Sun Jue would bully her when he was not here.

As long as Sun Jue is still in the capital, the uneasiness in his son's heart cannot be eliminated.

Cao Ying was silent for a while and finally agreed to take the children back to her parents' home for the New Year.

When Li heard about this, he also felt that Cao Ying should celebrate the New Year here. Since Cao Ying took the children back to Cao's house to celebrate the New Year, Chu Yu, the aunt, cannot help but express it.

However, time is tight and it is too late to cut new clothes. Chu Yu picked two good ginseng trees and a few good ingredients for spring shirts, so he sent them to Cao Ying. Sun Li was preparing for the exam and needed to replenish her body, which was exactly what Cao Ying needed.

Sun Li and Sun Chu brothers each have a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and two new books; Sun Xian has a gold bracelet with coral inlaid with corals, and a box of four-season velvet flowers.

He also prepared a pair of agate rings and two pieces of clothing material for Sun Chusheng's mother Liang.

Liang stayed at Sun's house to guard the house and did not come with Cao Ying. After receiving Chu Yu's reward, she also made a special trip back to Cao's mansion, kowtowed to Chu Yu, and worshiped the early years of the masters of the two mansions.

Although she was taken over by Sun Jue and promoted to her concubine, she was loyal and loyal to the master, which made the women in the Cao family realize something.

You know, there are several girls who are waiting for their age in the Cao family.

For this matter, Chu Yu also made a special mention to her husband: "Mrs. The third aunt was angry in her early years, so she brought the maids she bought from outside to marry, but she was restless and became idle. Tianhui can't do this anymore. Needless to say, the second aunt gave to Tianhui, the second aunt gave to her, was a robber slave in the royal palace, and she was trained and knew the rules. The other few, Du Lan gave birth to a family, but Fang Lan bought it from outside. After the New Year, it would be better to pick some little girls from the family's children."

Cao Yong heard this and was amused and laughed: "Tianhui is only ten years old the next year. Is it too early to say this? She is our precious daughter, less than eighteen years old, so I can't bear to send her out. Besides, whether this maid is loyal depends not only on her background, but also on her character. There is no naughty among the children born in the family? If you want to avoid being bullied and deceived, you still have to know how to judge people and be able to suppress people."

Chu Yu disagreed with her husband's statement about the maid, but she would not understand her husband. After all, she just said hello to her husband and did not come to ask her husband to make decisions.

"Why do you always talk about the eighteenth? Last time I said Tianyou that Hengsheng is going to marry a wife after the eighteenth. Now Tianhui has to wait until the eighteenth. It's nothing for a boy to go to later. It would be better if his daughter was too late." Chu Yu said.

"Growing up, you have a firm mind and broader vision. You are better than being more immature and going out to be a young wife with fear." Cao Yong said.

He could attack his fifteen-year-old wife, but he couldn't bear to bear his precious daughter, and then he was bullied by some bastard.

When Chu Yu heard this, he thought about getting pregnant and having a child. If he was young and his pelvis was not open, giving birth was a life-and-death junction. Thinking of this, she agreed with her husband's opinion and decided to leave her daughter after 18 before going out.

She remembered something and said, "Did you hear any news from the Duke's Mansion? After the old woman who sent the New Year gift came over, she actually asked about Hengsheng! It's really strange. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, those who went to the uncle's mansion to talk about the matchmakers would break the threshold. They couldn't pick out anything and came to make our family's idea again?"

Cao Yong laughed twice and said, "I heard that Nian Gengyao came to a letter a few days ago to propose marriage to Longkodo for his eldest son, but Longkodo was rejected by Longkodo. The Tong family is very popular, but Nian Gengyao is the emperor's most relied on confidant and the emperor's brother-in-law. Longkodo dared to reject the Nian family, but others dared not stab the Nian family. At this critical moment, he said to the Tong family. Li Sier was determined to find a good son-in-law, but it would be strange if he was not in a hurry."

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but worry: "What's the best thing? It's really abominable to drag us into the water for nothing."

Cao Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if Longkodo knows Hang Seng's background, he is not afraid. There is Sixteenth Master standing in front of him. Sixteenth Master has recognized Hang Seng as his son-in-law, and the Sixteenth Concubine likes our Hang Seng."

Chu Yu heard this and smiled and said, "Yes, Hang Seng bought a lot of gadgets from Niu Niu a few days ago, and they all brought them into the palace to the big princess..."

This year of Cao's Mansion is more lively than in previous years.

Although Cao Song and Cao Xiang were neither in the capital during the older generation, they grew older and added a lot of anger to the mansion.

Moreover, Cao Yong had already received the news that Cao Song would return to Beijing soon.

The first guards of the Shangsanqi who were sent to the Northwest Army all returned to Beijing with the 14th Prince.

The next day after the Emperor Daxing, the new emperor issued an order to the 14th prince in the Northwest Army, and ordered him to go back to Beijing. It has been more than 40 days since then. It is almost time to calculate the itinerary...

Cao Mansion, Lanyuan.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone from the east and west mansions gathered in Li's house to stay at the New Year.

Only Gao was old and thought that he was just a relative of the Cao family, so he couldn't accept the tribute from his younger generation calmly, so he went back to Shaoyuan to settle down earlier.

Xiangyu was left by Niu Niu and Tianhui, and followed everyone to stay up to the New Year. Sun Xian was also there, following her two aunts with a quiet smile.

Six or seven girls sat with Chu Yu and the younger sisters-in-law, either lively, quiet, or cute, and full of flowers, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Li and Zhao Jia's sister-in-law were sitting on the kang, looking at the flowers in the room, with joy on their faces and talking none of them.

Cao Ying sat aside and listened to the two elders talking.

A prosperous family is a sign of prosperity.

Although Zhaojia only has two concubines and has not yet received her legitimate grandson, she is not discouraged because she still has the fourth sister and Wuer.

The girls from the banner family are sometimes more useful than their sons.

Others don’t say anything about it, but only look at the two aunts who married into the royal family of the Cao family. This is what they say.

Emperor Daxing passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. In order to pray for blessings for the advanced emperor, a group of palace maids were released from the palace.

Zhao Jia received the news, and with a thick face, she walked to Prince Yi's mansion, begged the Thirteenth Prince, and hired an aunt who retired from Chu Xiu Palace to teach the etiquette and rules of the fourth sister and Wu'er.

Although there are also etiquette aunts in the Western Palace, Zhao Jia's people are not very useful.

The next year, the two daughters will be drafted at the same time.

Zhao Jia also saw that with the appearance of these sisters, Wuer had a brighter future; but the fourth sister was the legitimate birth and had several good brothers.

Although the father and brother are not of high rank, their own grandfather Cao Xi was posthumously named as the second-class uncle. In this way, it may not be impossible to be included in the royal family.

Because of this, in recent days, she has devoted all her attention to training her two daughters.

Even with the concubine's daughter Wu'er, she is a little more kind.

Li's eyes fell on Sun Xian and Xiangyu.

Both are her niece and granddaughters, both of whom are in the banner, but one is the eldest granddaughter of the Sun family and the other is the granddaughter of the Li family's illegitimate son. There is a big difference between the legitimate and illegitimate son.

The Sun family would not let the eldest granddaughter participate in the "small selection", but the Li family even said whether they remember Xiangyu, the orphan.

The head of the Li family, Wang, is Xiangyu's grandmother, but for some reason, she is very disgusted with this granddaughter.

In recent years, the old woman who brought the greetings came over. She was concerned about Gao Taijun, but she didn't mention Xiangyu, the serious Miss Sun of the Li family.

Although the people of the Li family do not value Xiangyu, Gao Taijun loves this noble niece very much.

After being raised by my side for more than ten years, seeing Gao’s kindness to Xiangyu, sometimes Li’s heart is always delicious. At the same time, he also understands that the old man is lonely, and this Xiangyu is the old lady who is in love with her.

Outside the screen, there was another table, where the Cao Yong brothers and the boys from the two mansions, plus the Sun brothers. Among the younger generation of the Cao family, only Tianbao, who was in his infancy, was not there, and even the youngest Tianyang was present.

Tianhu and Tianyang are both concubines. Although Tianhu has been adopted by Cao Fu in the past six months, his cowardly nature has long been developed, and he has become more timid and has become more timid in his words and actions, which has brought him a small family spirit.

Tianyang was influenced by his biological mother and began to learn to look at his face at a young age, and he lost his vitality.

Compared with the two brothers, the boys in Xifu are very outstanding.

Not only are Tianyou and Changsheng outstanding, but even the brothers Hangsheng and Zuozhu are not bad.

Whether it is the "adopted son" or the "adopted son", these are the eldest brother's sons. But I have no blood at all...

Cao Fu wanted to hit him here, but when he looked at his cousin, he didn't know whether he should admire his cousin's ability to teach his children or be jealous of his good luck. He picked up any child and was the little Mongolian prince. He took in his twin adopted sons and now he has become a young scholar again.

Cao Yong noticed his gaze, turned his head and said, "What's wrong with the fifth brother?"

Cao Fu naturally would not say that he was being petty. He was jealous of his cousin's many sons and said casually: "It's nothing. I just remember my second brother and thought he could arrive in Beijing before the New Year. It has been a month and a half since the death of the late emperor. If he traveled to Beijing, it would be here."

The 14th Prince is in the northwest army of Ganzhou, and Ganzhou is more than 6,000 miles away from the capital. It takes a few days for this post to be launched, and Cao Yong is not sure.

He just heard that the 800-mile expedition from Xi'an to Beijing can reach the capital in six days, and Xi'an is 4,000 miles away from the capital.

After hearing this, Cao Yong estimated in his heart the time the Saint was on the road and the time for the 14th Prince to return, and realized that something was wrong.

If there were no changes, the 14th Prince would have thought it had arrived long ago.

If something happens... Cao Yong's heart can't help but sink.

Li Wei did not go to Zhili to serve as a Taotai, but instead appointed him as a Yanyi Road in Yunnan. He left Beijing a few days ago to take office. His previous position as a Taotai was replaced by a second-class guard of Prince Yong's mansion.

"Suppressing bandits" wouldn't it be a killer against the 14th prince who returned to Beijing to attend the funeral?

Thinking of this, Cao Yong felt cold sweat blowing on his back.

Of course, he would not sympathize with the situation of the Fourteenth Prince, nor would he question Yongzheng's choice, but the one who came back with the Fourteenth Prince was his closest brother.

Then, he felt that he wanted to leave.

Yongzheng ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. How could he add to his own accusation in this critical sight?

"Maybe the road was delayed. Before the fifteenth, I got home no matter how hard I was. Brother Wu, don't be anxious." Cao Yong said lightly.

The sound of "second kick" came from afar, and the sound of firecrackers being pulled by thunder.
