Chapter 976 Encounter

Whenever I was in Beijing, Cao Yong would have to leave the Fourth Prince's birthday.

Other princes and royal princes, and Beileduo came to have a drink, and Cao Yong just went through the motions and gave him a gift and said that many people would not blame him.

This year, the fourth prince was 45th, and the "Dark Nine" every time, and there were a few more tables of wine than in previous years, and there were many more people coming and going.

Several princes of the royal palace came to the front yard to welcome guests. Among them, the third prince Hongshi was the oldest, so he led the royal kings to the main hall; Hongli and Hongzhou, two young princes, followed the chief officials of the royal palace and greeted other officials.

Because his mother also celebrated her birthday on the same day, Cao Yong did not stay in Prince Yong's Mansion for a long time. He gave him a birthday gift. Several officials who were familiar with each other said hello and left Prince Yong's Mansion.

A group of people came towards me, surrounded by two carriages.

"Master, it's the Tong Mansion's carriage!" Xiaoman recognized the decoration on the carriage with a sharp eye.

Cao Yong stopped his horse and retreated to the side.

The carriage was getting closer and closer. When it was almost at Cao's mansion and his group, it slowed down. When it arrived in front of Cao Yong, the carriage stopped.

When the curtain in front of him was lifted open, Longkodo sat upright with a smile, looking at Cao Yong, and then bowed and got out of the car.

He has a high seniority and wants to say hello, how could Cao Yong sit upright? He immediately turned over and got off the horse, stepped forward, and bowed and said, "Boy Cao Yong, please help me."

At this moment, Longkodo had already got off the carriage and helped Cao Yong up with a smile. He looked at Prince Yong's mansion in the distance and said, "Is Prince Cao coming out of Prince Yong's mansion?"

"Well, the boy has some mundane affairs at home, so I'll go back first." Cao Yong bowed and replied.

Longkodo narrowed his eyes, smiled twice, and said, "I heard that today is Lingtang's birthday, so you should go back early."

Seeing that he was inexplicably close, Cao Yong felt a little confused when he remembered what the Sixteenth Prince said a few days ago. With Longkodo's identity, if he had no intention, there was no need to be so attentive.

As he was talking, a servant dressed in charge came forward and whispered to Longkodo: "Master, the lady asked the youngest, the one in front of him is the eldest son-in-law of the Prince Chun's Mansion. If so, the lady wants to meet him."

Longkodo is the national uncle, and he is Chu Yu's uncle. The wife did not mention the title of Cao's mansion, but only talked about the clan relatives. When he met a foreign man, he became a relative and junior, and was not rash.

Longkodo nodded and replied, "It was Mr. Cao who went back and told his wife that you don't have to get off the carriage. Don't let someone bump into the carriage on the road. I will say a few words to Mr. Cao and then take him over."

The manager responded, and Longkodo smiled and said to Cao Yong: "I like the big princess very much and I have been talking about it for several times. She treats the younger generation the most kind, don't be restrained."

Cao Yong's smile was a little stiff when he heard this.

Before Li Sier's imperial edict was released, he was scattered as a wife, but it was just a family matter of Longkodo, so he didn't do anything about Cao Yong. However, if Cao Yong was asked to be a super Count and the second-rank minister to pay his respects to the concubines of the uncle's mansion as a junior, it was a joke.

If it falls into the eyes of others, they will feel that Cao Yong is holding the Tong Mansion and forgets etiquette and shame.

Longkodo was very interested and did not pay attention to Cao Yong's expression. He was thinking about whether it was time to lead Cao Yong over.

Cao Yong had already clasped his fists and said seriously: "Sir, I met you in such a hurry, with no name letters or no meetings. I went to see my wife. It was really rude. Five days later, the wife asked for a banquet at the mansion. The boy would go with his mother and see her respectfulness when he was formally greeted."

He spoke sincerely and even if Longkodo was a little unhappy, he would not force him to pull someone over.

Longkodo lowered his face and said, "How many days will Lingtang go out?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Since I received the post from the Lord's Mansion, I will receive the order."

Because my concubine is concerned about the Cao family, Longkodo also asked a few more questions about the Cao family before, and knew that Mrs. Li had rarely gone out for social events in recent years.

Li did not recognize her ancestors, but the royal family members knew that she was the remains of the royal family and her identity was no lower than that of her daughter-in-law Chu Yu.

Thinking that my concubine could invite Mrs. Li to come out, Longkodo's unhappiness reduced a little, and said, "Since that's the case, then on the fifth day of next month, I will wait for my uncle to come and have a drink..."

Seeing Longkodo get on the carriage and go away, Cao Yong put his heart back in his stomach.

He really admired Longkodo, so he took Li Sier to Prince Yong's house to celebrate his birthday in such a big way. As Li Sier's identity, he was not allowed to be on the table at all, but he came forward as Madame Longkodo.

This time, the disgusting thing is the Fourth Folk King.

With the fourth prince's reliance on Longkodo and the status of his uncle and nephew, the fourth concubine would not look at the monks and Buddhas' faces, but would also offer Li Sier...

When Cao Yong returned to the mansion, he happened to see Cao Gong coming from the East Mansion.

Seeing him wearing regular clothes, Cao Yong asked, "Have you returned from the Hanlin Academy?"

In the morning, the two brothers kowtowed to Li's birthday and one went to Prince Yong's mansion and the other went to Hanlin Academy.

"I just clicked Mao and turned around. By the way, brother, I met Mr. Qian. He still remembered the birthday of his uncle. He was about to come to celebrate his birthday, but he was dragged by several old men and couldn't leave him. He asked me to bring the birthday gift here. When I came back, I directly sent someone here." Cao Fu said.

The two brothers were talking while heading into the yard.

Thinking that Lanyuan was full of female relatives and no foreign guests, the two brothers passed the second gate and went straight to Lanyuan.

When I arrived at the gate of the yard, I heard the sound of silk strings coming from the upper room.

A little maid was waiting in the corridor. When she saw Cao Yong's brothers coming, she sang: "Old lady, the master and the fifth master are here."

There was no sound of shouting in from the room immediately. After a while, Xiuhe picked up the curtain and invited Cao Yong and Cao Rong into the room with a smile.

Cao Yong's pace was a little slow and he asked in a low voice: "The old lady has any foreign guests here?"

Xiu He smiled with a smile: "The old lady heard that Miss Zhong is in Beijing, which is also her birthday today, so she asked someone to pick up Miss Zhong over."

Listening to the two of them, even Cao Fu was a little difficult to take.

"I have already avoided the inner room, please feel free to enter." Xiuhe whispered when he saw this.

In the outer room, flowers were gathered in the flowers, and everyone sat or stood, talking with Li and Zhao Jia.

Seeing Cao Yong's brothers come in, everyone except Li, Zhao Jia and Cao Ying remained unmoved, stood up and saluted.

Next to the south window, there were several cases, and two female storytellers were holding pipa and tambourine, retreating to the side and waiting.

The oily hair in the room made Cao Yong feel dizzy. Cao Jia did not come back, only Cao Ying and Cao Yi went back to his parents' home to celebrate his birthday. He also included Han Jiang, who was Li's adopted daughter, and he was half the aunt of the Cao family.

Cao Yong chatted with these people for a while, while Cao Fu was playing tricks on his good deeds, which made Li and Zhao Jia laugh a few times before the two brothers left Lanyuan.

"Brother, is it a good idea to marry a monk Jiang? Looking at his pure heart and desire, he doesn't seem to be able to get married and have children safely, so don't delay other girls." Although Cao Fu didn't see Zhong, he couldn't help but worry about Jiang Jian's usual appearance.

Cao Yong glanced at him and said, "What are you worried about? Fei Pi is a responsible person. Since he decided to follow the arrangements of the elders of the clan to marry, he would assume the responsibility of being a husband and a father."

Cao Fu was said a few words by his cousin, but he didn't care. He touched his nose and said, "Being a husband and father is not that cheap. I am still worried about it since he came to our yard with heaven. How is the child studying, what future will the future be? What kind of character will he marry in the future... If he can be successful, like Tianyou, stay at the left and pass the examination and go to the official school to study steadily; otherwise, if the flag school cannot be entered, the official school is not qualified to study, and he can't always study at home."

Cao Yong shook his head and said, "Tianhu is still young, take your time. When the child is older, he may not necessarily take the path of imperial examinations. If you want to be a strict father, you should be more at ease. Don't teach your child to be a nerd!"

These younger generations are all studying in Xifu. Today, Xifu is an old Hanlin who has retired from the Hanlin Academy. He is an extremely knowledgeable old gentleman with a surname Fan.

Cao Yong asked the children’s homework several times, and Mr. Fan had said it in detail.

Changsheng is smart, but he loves to learn miscellaneously, and in serious studies, he is just ordinary; Tianhu has diligence, but his talent is limited. Even if he is diligent, he may have limited grades. Wei Yaohui is a person who is active, and if he is not stern, he will just be blind if he is not literate. Tianyang only entered school at the beginning of the year, and he is young and can't tell anything.

Although Tianhu is now raised under Cao Fu's name, he is Cao Shuo's son. Cao Shuo was a little troubled in his homework at the time. Cao Yong was afraid that Tianhu would follow his father's old path and suppress it too much, and it would not work.

As the brother spoke, he left the second door and saw Jiang Jian lowering his head and walking. He was so immersed in his mind. The two brothers Cao Yong walked up to him, but he still didn't notice it.

Cao Yong stopped, Cao Fu could no longer help, and he let out a "dum" and frightened him.

"Mr. Jiang is standing here, are you hoping to see your sister-in-law?" he quipped with a smile.

A young man in his forties cannot be said to be the only one in the capital, and it is rare.

Jiang Jian raised his head and showed a little shyness.

Seeing this, Cao Feng laughed even more. Seeing that he was naughty and laughed and cried, Cao Yong called the two to go to the front hall to talk.

"Don't worry, Lanyuan is full of female relatives of the Cao family. Without an outside relative, Miss Zhong would not be shocked." Cao Yong comforted.

This "Miss Zhong" is Jiang Jian's fiancée. She arrived in Beijing in early October, and this is not the first time she has entered the mansion. When she first arrived in the capital, Cao Yong asked Chuyu to come forward and pick her up to Cao's mansion once.

But it was for Jiang Jian to see how the girl was preparing for her dowry. The Cao family could help as appropriate.

"She is a country woman and comes from a small family. I just worry that she doesn't understand the rules and makes the old ladies tired of them." Jiang Jian said embarrassedly.

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "It's a heretic who is not Phosphorus. Although I have never met Miss Zhong, I heard my mother and inner son praise her and knew that the designation was not wrong. Phosphorus is a blessing."

Jiang Jian had no choice but to accept his fate, but no joy.

This is November tomorrow, will Kangxi Bintian be November or December?

Cao Yong suddenly remembered this and frowned and said, "Is the non-phosphorus wedding date set?"

He remembers Jiang Jian mentioned that he married before the end of the New Year, and there were only sixty days left before the New Year.

Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "It's not decided yet. There are only sixth and sixteenth days in November. The days are a bit tight. In the twelfth lunar month, there are more auspicious days to choose from."

"It's better to do it early. Miss Zhong stays in a relative's house and is not comfortable living there. She is ready to prepare everything, and she's just about to marry this." Cao Yong said.
