Chapter 1197: Love is revealed

It took two days before news came out in the palace that the queen would hand it over to Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu to host the presidency of this year's draft primary election.

Since the imperial concubine died of illness in the age of 2008, Concubine Xi has become the second person in the harem. She has a son and is gentle and gentle. She has been relying on by the queen and has always been a counselor of the palace affairs.

Although Concubine Yu is not as decent as Concubine Xi, she is also the first concubine because of her siblings. She is now second only to the queen, Concubine Xi and Concubine Qi.

But the Eight Banners Selection is a major event. It can also show the benevolence of the empress dowager or the queen.

Unexpectedly, the queen gave this decent to Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu.

But his brain was active and he immediately understood the reason.

The fourth prince Hongli and the fifth prince Hongzhou are all sixteen this year. Although there are already people serving you around you, they are all concubines of low-grade ranks and have not yet been on the side of the concubine.

I have a daughter at home, and I will be revived immediately.

Hongzhou is fine, Hongli is the candidate for the crown prince. If his daughter can point to Hongli, even if his position is lower, he will eventually have a precious status.

The fourth sister of the Cao family looks dignified and has no special appearance. Of course, Zhaojia would not like to cling to the prince. Because the Thirteenth Prince promised to take care of her, she was not worried that her daughter would be pointed at any mansion to be a concubine.

However, Cao Yong and his wife must be worried.

Not for others, just for Huang Xiaoyi who brought back to the capital from Zhili.

It was originally thought that Hongli saved people casually and was tempted by beauty. Even if he couldn't keep it behind his mind for a long time, he wouldn't care so much. Unexpectedly, when the Cao couple arrived in Beijing, Hongli sent someone over. On the surface, it was about congratulating Tianyou for passing the imperial examination, but in fact it had another "please".

Even if Huang Xiaoyi cannot enter the palace this year, he still needs to keep a file. In that case, as long as she keeps the sign and waits for her to become filial, she can directly invite several harem lords to give them to the prince's office.

Cao Yong discussed with Chu Yu, and had to find a family named Huang under his command and settled Huang Xiaoyi's household registration in the Huang family, which gave her the qualification to record the file and was sick again, so she did not have to participate in the candidate for this year.

After Hongli found out, he initially felt that the Huang family was just an ordinary bannerman with a low-level accessory, but later he thought that this was fine. The woman who was serving the prince could not be said to be the same as tracing the eighth generation of ancestors. Huang's true identity could not be hidden at all.

Without the support of an outsider, he is just a very beautiful person. Even if he is a Han girl, he will not attract too much attention from the elders in the palace. For Huang, it is also a way to preserve him.

Since the release of the Guizhou List, the Cao family has been congratulating guests.

In addition to asking Tianyou and Tianhui's marriage, Cao Yong, who wanted to inquire, went to the next yamen.

Although he was entitled as the Minister of War, the two Ministers of War are now full of staff, and they really have no intention of moving.

Within two days, an order was issued. Sun Zhaqi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was the Minister of Works, and Cao Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Just as the Cao family was about to celebrate the event of the three small children, the things that originally thought that they could go or not made people worse, so they went there in person.

Although the Minister of Revenue is ranked in the Ministry of Rites and behind the Ministry of Personnel, he can hold financial power and his importance is almost the same as that of the Minister of Personnel who is in charge of personnel.

Whether it is a Beijing official or a place where the government can leave the financial support of the Ministry of Revenue?

Cao Yong, the newly released Minister of Revenue, naturally had a hot hot hand.

The guests were unexpectedly numerous, which made Cao Yuan very busy. In addition, Li and Chu Yu were also female guests who were seeing them one after another.

Although Mrs. Ning was just the legitimate mother of Xiaojing official who was unknown, because she was Zuozhu, Zuocheng's grandmother, Li and Chuyu were also quite polite.

There are officials who are familiar with Chu Yu, so they must ask about who is the half-old woman who was treated by the Grandma.

Zuo Zhu, although Zuo Cheng's brothers recognized his ancestors and returned to their ancestors, they were only known by the Zhangjia clan and did not announce it to the public.

Taking this opportunity, Chu Yu made Zuo Zhu, and Zuo Cheng said, "She is the grandmother of our mansion, Yuan Song and Yuan Bai."

In the early years, relatives speculated that the Zuozhu brother was Cao Yong's illegitimate son. Over the years, the Zuozhu brother grew up and his face was not similar to Cao Yong, so the rumors gradually dissipated.

After hearing what Chu Yu said, some people were curious about why the grandmother was in the hall, but the Yuansong brothers were raised in the Cao family.

The case of Ning Chun's family was difficult to talk about. Chu Yu said half-truely with the excuse he had taken out: "Mrs. Ning is just the step-grandmother of Yuansong's brothers, and he has already had an inheritance under his name. Yuansong and Yuanbai are the sons of our grandfather. Our grandfather's teacher, Mr. Zhuang, was pity for his niece, so he took him to take care of him. Later, the two of them recognized our husbands as their adopted mothers, and of course they were even more worried about their orphans and widows going out to live a life."

Except for the relationship between Mr. Zhuang and Tian, ​​none of these words are lies. They just keep Mrs. Ning in their heads and hide the incidents of the Ning family.

After hearing this, a few people who claimed to be smart felt enlightened.

No wonder the two adopted sons of the Cao family were able to marry officials. If their parents were really ominous, even if the Cao family came forward, the serious family might not be happy to marry.

A few days after the banquet, families who had contact with Cao's mansion knew more about the "real life experience" of Zuozhu and Zuocheng brothers. The old man surnamed Zhang Jia, the Han surnamed Ning, and the father and grandfather were both officials.

At this moment, Tian took Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers moved out of Cao's mansion and moved into the new house that had been cleaned up.

The families invited to live in a warm house, besides the Cao family's East Mansion, the Xifu and Ning family members, are classmates and friends of Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's brothers.

The night before leaving Cao's Mansion, Tian took Zuo Zhui and Zuo Cheng to Wutongyuan.

"Master Cao, Princess, I am from a humble background and can't say those nice things. Without the care of Master Cao and Princess for many years, how could I raise a child as an ignorant woman? Please accept this as a bow to me." Tian said with tears, and his body was already in a wax.

Seeing that she was going to give a big gift, Chu Yu hurriedly reached out to support her and said, "Sister-in-law Tian, ​​don't do this. Brother Song and Brother Bai are so promising, which is also the result of their brothers' diligent study. We are their brothers' adoptive father and mother, and it is necessary to take care of their sons and nephews. It is a heretic who says these things."

Tian wanted to worship again, but was dragged by Chu Yu, so he had to stop left and Zuo Cheng said, "The courtesy cannot be abolished, so you two brothers will thank me for me."

Before Cao Yong and Chu Yu could react, Zuo Cheng and the other two had already knelt down, respectfully kowtowed three times at Cao Yong and Chu Yu.

Cao Yong was also in a little sour mood. Although the two brothers' houses were only a quarter of an hour away from the Cao family, they were kept by their side as soon as they were separated, so they still felt a little blocked in their chests.

"Get up." He restrained his strangeness and said softly.

The left hand was left, but the Zuo Cheng brothers shook their heads and kowtowed three times to Cao Yong and Chu Yu. It seemed that they were celebrating on behalf of Tian.

Chu Yu sighed inwardly, pulled Tian and sat down aside.

"Although the child and my younger brother are about to leave the house... they can't bear to let go of the kindness of their adoptive father and mother..." After the two of them bowed, they did not stand up immediately. They choked up and spoke, and then couldn't continue. Before they knew it, they were already burst into tears.

Zuo Chengze walked forward, held Cao Yong's legs, and cried heartbrokenly: "Enjoyed father, adopted father, the child does not want to leave the house, he can't bear to leave the old lady, he can't bear to take the adoptive father, he can't bear to take the adoptive mother, he can't bear to take the seventh uncle and his aunt, he can't bear to take the elder brother and his two younger brothers..."

Although he was sick and weak in small bodies, he was not as healthy as the other children of the Cao family, but he was the smartest among his brothers. He has always been introverted and sensible, and he rarely loses his composure.

Chu Yu couldn't stand it, so he put down Tian's hand and wiped his tears silently.

Cao Yong stretched out his hand and touched Zuo Cheng's head. He was also pulled to his chest with pain by the crying. He said, "It's not a separation of life and death, why do you act like this little childish? It's just a change of yard and leaving this mansion, I'm not your adoptive father?"

Having said that, both Cao Yong and Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng knew that the difference was different.

Even though they are still under the protection of the Cao Mansion, it means that they are no longer childish children, but want to grow into men who support the door.

Zuo Cheng grabbed Cao Yong's knees and said in a crying voice: "The child must be good with his brother, and he will never lose his face as his adoptive father and mother. The adoptive father must also agree to the child's affairs so that the child can leave with peace of mind."

Such childish conditions have broken the sad atmosphere in the house.

Cao Yong was so amused that he knocked Zuo Cheng on the head and said, "Say!"

Zuo Cheng raised his head, wiped tears with his sleeve, and looked up at Cao Yong and said seriously: "The adoptive father has been worried about political affairs in recent years, and has long been beautiful, and his complexion is not as good as before the previous two years... The child has no other requests, but only hopes that the adoptive father will cherish his health and live to ninety-nine, waiting for the children to make a successful career and be filial."

Cao Yong was quite moved when he heard the first half; the last sentence sounded different.

He glanced at Zuo Cheng and said, "According to this, I have to be eighty or ninety years old to wait for you to make a fortune? Don't be so lazy. If you are worried about your father, you will have to retire when you are forty years. Then you must make a fuss, which is the greatest filial piety."

Zuo Cheng laughed awkwardly, nodded, and said loudly: "You are so kind!"

Zuo Zhuo knelt not far away, and also straightened his chest and said, "I will follow the teachings of my father..."

The sorrow of parting has also been completely eliminated by this interruption.

Under the corridor, listening to the laughter coming from the room, Tianyou lowered his head, wiped away the tears from his face, turned around and left, thinking in his mind that he would prepare some wine today and live in his brother's yard, and everyone would not stop drunk.

Unable to stand the children kneeling for a long time, Cao Yong ordered them to get up and taught them a few words about being the head of the family. Seeing that he had something to say, Tian sued Chuyu and left first.

When he left Wutongyuan, Zuozhu patted Zuo Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't be too sad, we will come here to pay our respects often."

"Yes!" Zuo Cheng nodded and whispered: "Speaking of it, I really envy Hang Seng!"

"Ah?" Zuo Zhu heard this sentence without beginning or end and was puzzled.

Zuo Cheng said in a different way, "Go and kowtow to the old lady, my mother also told us to go and see Grandpa Tian."
