The first thousand and eighty-four chapters of contentment
Chapter 1084: The Contentful
Among the three brothers and sisters in the Wei family, Chu Yu valued the most not the little beauty Wen Qiang, but the young Juren Wen Jie.
When she was placed in the evening, she praised Wen Jie without hesitation: "My man, Wen Jie is a good child. He is grateful and kind, but he is friendly to his brothers and sisters. He looks like a little adult, a bit like his youth."
Cao Yong also liked Wen Jie more and could be a scholar with a not-smart qualification. If he had not studied hard, he would not have achieved such a achievement. With his age, it would not be easy for him to be so persistent.
Whether he is an official or acquainted with business, as long as he shows this resilience, he will always have a chance to make a comeback.
"When Wei Wu was a child, he was rich and beautiful, and he had never suffered any hardships. These children were living under someone else's roof and suffered a lot of hardships. But it's good that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Looking at their appearance, they can't be wrong in the future." Cao Yong remembered Wei Xin who had been missing for several years, but he still didn't want to believe that he had passed away, and his emotions were a little low.
Wei Xin, who was the most frightening student when he was a teenager, would have been useless if he knew that his eldest son had passed the imperial examination, and he would have called him a nerd.
Chu Yu did not notice Cao Yong was unhappy, and said with a little excitement: "Wenjie is talented and is of the same age as before, but it's not on the flag. But it's nothing, just to make up for it."
"Huh?" Cao Yong heard something was wrong and said, "As of age?"
"Master, Shu Ping is 14th..." Chu Yu said: "The two aunts in Rongyuan mentioned this at the beginning of the year. The fifth sisters are all out of the box, and Shu Ping is only half a year younger than Wu Er. She is exempted from the election. Let's not arrange for her, who will arrange for her? The old lady is optimistic about Lier Brother from her eldest aunt's family, but she did not mention it because of her seniority. But I think Lier Brother is very arrogant. The Sun family and father and son are now working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they may choose Shu Ping's family." Chu Yu said.
Niu Niu nominally calls Cao Yong and his wife brothers and sisters-in-law, but in fact, Cao Yong and Chu Yu also raised her as their daughter.
When Chu Yu mentioned this, Cao Yong turned his body and was about to say a few words about Niu Niu's young ones, but thinking that Wu'er, who was the same age as Niu Niu, had already entered the palace, and his wife married him as a wife at the age of fifteen. He swallowed the words of young age, and said, "You are right, Sun Li is not good. If you don't say that the whole family is messy, just say that with Sun Li's intelligence, even if you don't get the exam today, you can't escape the next exam. The young Jinshi was so proud that he didn't know where he would go. If he was old and as lustful as his father, wouldn't he cheat Niu Niu?"
After hearing what her husband said, Chu Yu was not easy to respond, otherwise it would be like her to be a provoking right and wrong and belittle her nephew, and said, "It's not like that, I'm a sensible person after all these years."
"When his father was young, he was also proud of his youth and praised everyone. He was not at this point. He was the eldest son and grandson. When he was young, he experienced twists and turns. He was too sharp and he eventually lost his kindness." Cao Yong sighed and said, "What will he look like? It will take a few more years to see what he will look like."
In the future, Sun Li had some psychological disorders. After all, when his parents broke up, he was already in his teens, which was the time for his mood to develop.
Cao Yong had already discovered that this nephew was inappropriate. Every time he saw him, he would speak indirectly, but the effect was not great.
Sun Li not only had grudges against the Sun family, but also alienated the Cao family. In the past two years, he has used the excuse of studying and rarely returned to the Cao family with his mother.
This is also a rebellious period. Cao Yong could only persuade Cao Ying to suffer a few times, asking her to pay attention to her son, be kind and make him feel depressed.
"Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Although Brother Li'er is a bit lonely, he is purely filial to his aunt, and he can't go anywhere." Chu Yu said.
After hearing this, Cao Yong did not object to this point. Sun Li was filial to his mother, but his resentment towards his father was unquestionable. If it weren't for the ethics and morals, he would have long since disregarded his father.
Although Sun Jue's past behavior is understandable, Sun Li's resentment is better, but it is better for a man to be more generous.
Sun Jue was not very focused back then and walked to a dead end step by step.
Thinking of this, Cao Yong couldn't help but frown.
No matter how gentle Wenjie is now, in fact, his situation is not as good as Sun Li when he is young.
Sun Li has resentment, but Wen Jie has no resentment?
"Don't worry, let's watch it for a year or two. If Wenjie is really good-natured, let the two children meet more. After all, it will be a big event for a lifetime." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.
Although the Cao family is in the flag, they usually practice Han etiquette.
Chu Yu was worried that her husband would object to the issue of seniority, so she found Wenjie's benefits. Unexpectedly, her husband had no intention of opposing it, so she was naturally satisfied.
As for the length of time, she didn't care much.
Cao Yong had long said that his children should not get married too early, and they would have to be eighteen years old to get married...
Everyone in the Wei family was kept for three days.
Because Aunt Gui wanted to set up a new house as soon as possible, she took Wenjie and his sister to leave the Cao family three days later and left the new house.
Cao Yong had already arranged someone to clean up the house there. In the past few days, Wei Ren has lived there.
Cao Yong had to work in the yamen every day, and the time was not cheap, so he gave the matters of the Wei family to Tianyou.
Because Tianyou is already a student and only goes there for half a day a day, he is in time. Tianyou borrowed Zhang Yi from his father, brought a few servants, and helped the Wei brothers and sisters move to settle down.
The Wei brothers and sisters' household registration was from Jiangning to Shuntian Prefecture.
Because of the real estate shop, even if it is not under the banner of the Cao family, it is still easy to set up.
Because the servants who followed Wen Jie and the others to Beijing had only two servants and two maids, Tianyou asked Renya to take someone to pass through Wei's house and asked Aunt Gui to take the initiative, and chose two servants and four little maids.
Although he only has thirteen, he is already a strong gift. He has got rid of the youthfulness of children and has a bit of youthful heroism. In addition, he has been influenced by his parents over the years, without the arrogance and extravagance, and has been gentle and polite with others.
Just as Chu Yu looked at Wen Jie, Aunt Gui liked Tianyou very much.
But she also knew that the identities of the two families were very different, and even if Cao's mansion was taken care of, it was not advisable to have false thoughts, so she could only sigh.
However, Hang Seng accompanied his brother to the Wei family for a while, and he was like the same thing as Wen Zhizhi and fell in love with him at first sight.
It’s not his fault. Among the children of the Cao family and the cousins of the relatives, he is the only one who likes to play with swords and guns. Now, Wen Zhi, who also loves martial arts, can he not get along with him?
He heard that Wen Zhi had already passed the military examination and was about to take the martial arts examination, and then he asked the military officer to become an official, and Hengsheng also felt itchy. What he never forgets is to be a guard.
Knowing that his grandfather had been a guard and his father had also been a guard, Hengsheng was also determined to wait for him to grow up and wanted to regain his guard.
If he had a choice, he would have wished he would quit his companionship and go to the guard office now.
But he is too young, and the guards are not just in the way they want to enter, so they can only wait.
Fortunately, Prince Hongli saw his thoughts and agreed to help him replenish the guards in the future.
Hongli is already fourteen this year. When he is sixteen, he will no longer go to the study room, so he naturally needs to accompany him. Arrange a future for him to accompany him, which is just a small task.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of July, Cao Yong’s birthday.
Because it was not for the birthday, Cao's mansion did not do much. It just set up a few tables of wine and food to entertain the old friends and relatives who came to celebrate the birthday.
Prince Ping and his wife and Seshtu and his wife arrived. After the banquet, Nersu called Cao Yong privately, and a talk was made between his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law.
After the draft last year, the palace only pointed out to Fu Peng a concubine of a low-class background. Nersu and Cao Jia thought that they did not refer to the eldest son's wife this time, and it seemed that they would have to wait for the next draft.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Cao Jia followed several concubines from other royal palaces to Changchun Garden to pay tribute to the queen. The queen and Cao Jia talked about Fu Peng's wedding.
"Femo's granddaughter, the queen's granddaughter of the late Grand Secretary Wenda, was chosen for Fu Peng. Although he was the legitimate granddaughter of the prime minister's family and the legitimate daughter of the governor, and was born into a family of nobles of the Eight Banners, his father and grandfather were dead and his family had already appeared in decline." Nersu looked sad, and it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law.
Even though he had known for a long time that his eldest son's marriage could not be controlled by himself, he hoped that his son's marriage would be successful.
Femo's grandfather Wen Da was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace; his father Guo Li was also a famous talented man in the Eight Banners and served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Such a noble daughter raised by others was appointed as the legitimate wife of Fu Peng, which was considered a match.
However, Wen Da died in the 54th year of Kangxi, and Guo Li died of illness in the 55th year of Kangxi. Although there were still some children from the Prime Minister's House who served as officials, they were only officials of the six ministries.
In the officialdom, people have always left the tea and tea are cold, not to mention that the prime minister's house has been neglected for more than ten years.
In name, it was the queen who was accusing her of marriage, but in fact it was the emperor who was the one who made the decision behind it.
Cao Yong and Nersu looked at each other and didn't say anything, but they all knew that this was the emperor's precautionary attitude towards the royal family.
"Duke Wen Jian once wrote the history of the country and was also the president of "History of Ming Dynasty". Duke Wen Xiu's translation exam was the first in the Eight Banners and was a handsome hero of the Eight Banners. Such a girl raised by others must be smarter than ordinary people, and may be able to be a good match for the eldest prince." At this point, Cao Yong could only say good things to persuade him.
Nersu smiled bitterly and said, "I can only hope this. If I had known today, it would be better than your and my aunts to be married, and your sister would have been able to get what she wants. Although she was born in the prime minister's family, she would have lost her father at the age of young age. After all, there would be few people to teach her. She would be gentle and gentle. If she was a stingy person, she would have to stay in peace."
Not to mention the orphanage who lost his father, even a girl like Longkodo, who is a popular family like Nian Gengyao, can't make a fuss even if she marrys into the royal palace. After all, the prince's mansion is now in charge of the inner house, Cao Jia, the legitimate wife. She is also divided into mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she can't make a fuss at all.
Nersu said this just because he was dissatisfied with the emperor's defense against the royal family. He was just thirty years old and full of ambitions, but limited to his identity, and could only live by the rest of his life. He felt depressed, so you can imagine.
"Let's think about it. This marriage has made the eldest prince not tired of being a relative of his wife. Maybe he can go further in the court in the future." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.
Fu Peng is now back to the royal palace to live, but he is still studying in the study room and has a good relationship with Hongli and Hongzhou.
Even if Nersu takes up a free position and is blessed with Peng, his status as the Prince's Mansion will be guaranteed in the next few decades.
