Chapter 1036: I hope my son will become a dragon

After all, Cao Ying was an older sister. Cao Yong could not teach her like she was to her younger brother and sister. He said everything he should say, and Cao Yong did not stay any longer and said goodbye.

Sun Jin had already received Sun Wencheng's order and asked people to pay attention to the living room. Seeing Cao Yong coming out, he came over to see him out of the door.

Cao Yong and Sun Jin have only met several times, but the resume of the Sun family's concubine's son has been on the document.

He was also knowledgeable when he was young, but he was not very good at his youth. He wanted to participate in the imperial examinations, but because his elder brother went to Beijing and the other brothers were still young, he did not make it. At the beginning, he was just like a servant in charge of business and was doing housework. After a few years, he was kept by Sun Jue and got in touch with the errands of the weaving house.

He married a lady from the Gao family of the Interior Department. The couple was quite loving, had two sons, and had no concubine.

After the Sun family entered Beijing, Sun Wencheng closed the door to thank the guests, but Sun Jueyang did not leave. The one who came out to handle the affairs was Sun Wencheng's younger brother Sun Wenqian and this concubine's descendant Sun Jin.

When he walked to the door, Cao Yong stopped, turned around and said to Sun Jin: "Since I have arrived in Beijing, my second cousin should not be a heretic. It is better to walk around often. The second cousin's wife is the same. If I have free time, the eldest sister will follow him when she returns home. Last time, the second cousin's wife went to pay tribute to our old lady, and we were very proud of it after we passed."

What he said was not a polite word, Li did praise Gao.

As the second daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law was not at home. If someone else had thought about the housekeeper and the housekeeper had long been reinforcing power. However, Gao knew his identity and only served his mother-in-law respectfully and never interfered in the housekeeper's affairs.

An was originally guarding against her, but later she took the initiative to let her take charge of the business, but she even pushed her over the excuse of taking care of the child. She was extremely smart.

An treated her concubine's son just mediocre, but she was still closer to Cao Ying when she treated her concubine's daughter-in-law. Gao was not frivolous. She stepped back from Cao Ying in everything and respected her elder sister-in-law, so that her sister-in-law could get along harmoniously.

Marrying such a wife is a blessing for the Sun family.

Although Cao Ying is his family, when Li talked about Gao to Chuyu, he still felt that Gao was more competent in the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the family. The two children taught them well, and there was no shortage of rules and etiquette, and it was no worse than the eldest son Sun Li brothers.

Although Sun Jin did not become an official, he was influenced by his father and had a hint of eyes.

Seeing that Cao Yong had a warm expression and was close to each other, he interjected, "I used to say that my cousin was busy, so it was not easy to disturb him. I had long thought of getting closer to my cousin, as long as my cousin didn't bother me."

Cao Yong said, "That's what it means, it's a heretic. I wish my second cousin would go a few more times, and the home was also lively. I had worked as a staff member in the Ministry of Internal Affairs earlier. If my second cousin went there, I would help a lot and introduce a few former colleagues."

After hearing this, Sun Jin couldn't help but show some excitement even though he was usually steady, and bowed and said, "If this is the case, I will take care of you more cousins."

Cao Yong avoided him without giving him a gift, but said, "I have to rely on my cousin to win his future. What I can do is really limited, so I can't thank you."

After a few more greetings, Cao Yong rode his horse away.

Although he had taken personal favors on him, Cao Yong did not regret it.

There has been news about the Li family's case. Li Xu, his family and his servants involved have been escorted to Beijing to convict, while other servants sold them locally in Suzhou to make up for the owed silver.

Li Xu had more than a dozen charges. In addition to the unclear accounts of Suzhou weaving, it also involved the Jiangnan Salt Administration. Judging from the amount involved, even if Li Xu was not killed, he was still a slander. If he could be sentenced to exile, he would be grace.

In fact, this is a vicious cycle. First, he borrowed silver from the Ministry of Revenue Bank and the local vassal treasury in the name of Suzhou Weaving Mansion, and then embezzled the silver to serve as a gift for Kangxi's several trips to the south. Then, under the grace of Kangxi, he embezzled the tax silver from the Jiangnan Salt Administration to fill the holes in Suzhou Weaving Mansion.

Naturally, as the large amount of money was revolving around, the Li family's life gradually became extravagant. He used ten thousand taels of silver to buy gangs for the opera troupe, funded the return scholars and officials, and helped the refugees, so that Suzhou scholars and common people would call him "Li Fo" when they mentioned Li Xu.

As early as when the eldest prince and the second prince were fighting, the Li family began to fight for the throne. Until Kangxi died, the Li family did not stop. But they latched them around and finally wanted to latch them to Prince Yong, and they had already had jealousy.

Cao Yong was unwilling to help the Li family at this time, so he could only help the Sun family.

But he didn't know that the Sun family's reactions were different when he arrived.

An held the field certificate and looked at it again and again, smiling with his eyes curled, and muttering: "Compared with the south, the price of fields in the capital is several times more expensive, which is really a life-threatening person. This farm is worthy of the big farm in the south, so it will cost seven or eight thousand taels of silver."

Sun Wencheng also knew this, knew the courtesy, and sighed: "Look at the date of this transaction, it was the days when I was just removed from office. This nephew was determined. But he was born and was not sure when he could repay this favor."

Seeing her husband's face, An said, "Didn't it mean that Cao Yong is a boy from Shancai? Otherwise, he would not have been young and would have become the head of the Ministry of Revenue. He is rich and a junior, so he should be a filial piety, so don't be too upset!"

Sun Wen saw that his old wife looked as if she was a natural person, and she shook her head powerlessly without any gratitude.

Sun Jin endured the excitement until he returned to his house, and only the couple were left, and he looked smiling...

Cao Ying first went outside his son's room and looked at his son who was buried in his desk for a while. Then he went to his daughter's room and saw the daughter who was as simple as a maid. He held his hand and felt distressed for a while. Finally, he sighed and said, "It's April, I'll find out my sister's jade jewelry, and put it on."

"Huh?" Sun Xian was puzzled when she heard this, and said, "Didn't my mother say that you should not wear these things in the future..."

Cao Ying's old face turned red and said embarrassedly: "It's my fault. I want to be confused and I feel wronged. I will still dress up in the future. You are a young girl, just when you are dressing up."

Sun Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, I don't wear jewelry, but do my third aunt want to wear it. I have seen her jewelry boxes, gold jewelry and two pieces that can be seen. The jade is worn by the old lady, with poor texture and old style. I have two pairs of jade bracelets, but I can't wear it at the same time. Can I give the pair of blue ones to my third aunt? And the two summer shirts my aunt gave me, can I evenly give it to my third aunt? Last month I was used as a summer shirt, but my grandmother didn't mention it."

Seeing that the daughter's eyes were clear, Cao Ying felt ashamed and said, "If you want to give the bracelet, you can give it away, and the clothes will be spared. Your third aunt wants to go to the palace to serve as a service, so you don't have to wear clothes outside. Speaking of which, you can't wear jewelry, it's just a thought. You can keep it for your third aunt as a memory..."

The next day, the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, the provincial examination period.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu got up early, and today he wants to send his eldest son Tianyou to the end.

If it were an ordinary family, this was a major event related to the Guangyao family's lintel. You must burn incense and ask for blessings. Tianyou is young and Cao Yong doesn't want his son to be too burdened, so he avoids this cumbersome ceremony.

After the couple finished their breakfast, Tianyou, Hengsheng and Tianhui came here.

The three brothers and sisters first greeted their parents, and then Hang Seng and Tian Hui took out the prepared gifts to Tianyou.

Hang Seng gave the jade belt buckle of "Carp Crossing the Dragon Gate", while Tian Hui gave the two official boots.

It was all thoughtful and suitable for auspicious words. Tianyou held it in one hand and just grinned.

"There is no better mother than his son." Chu Yu saw that his eyes were red and his spirit was not in good spirits, so he obviously didn't look good. He knew that he was nervous, so he changed his jade belt buckle and wanted to change his boots.

It was okay in front of me, Tianyou honestly asked his mother to play with her. Seeing that her mother wanted to change her shoes, she quickly stepped aside and said, "Mother, this is not allowed."

Chu Yu said angrily: "I raised you. I didn't serve you when I was a child? What's the point of serving my son again today?"

Tianyou insisted on refusing. Seeing this, Tianhui stepped forward and said, "Mother, daughter is here."

While talking, she took the boots from Chu Yu, looked at Tianyou with a smile, and said, "Is it okay for me to change the boots given by the girl to my elder brother?"

Tianyou still refused. Hang Seng had already stepped forward and refused to let him get up. He helped him change into new boots with Tianhui.

After making a fuss for a while, Tianyou went to the previous nervousness and freedom, and smiled and thanked his younger brother and sister. Then the family of five went to Lanyuan.

Changsheng had arrived and was sitting aside and yawning. Seeing that they were coming, he stood up quickly.

Li pulled Tianyou over and saw blood in his eyes, and asked, "Is this a good rest?"

Tianyou smiled embarrassedly and said, "My grandson's homework is not solid. He is afraid that he will not be able to do well in the exam, so he tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep."

Seeing him like this, Li was so distressed that he looked up and complained to Cao Yong, "You are the one who is a man, and you don't know how to feel sorry for your son. It looks hot now. How can people bear it if they stay in that shed for a few days?"

At this time, Cao Yong also regretted it.

He originally wanted to let his son get familiar with him, but he didn't expect him to be so fond of him. He didn't expect his son to be so concerned. Now, although it is early April and summer is in, the weather is getting hot all of a sudden. Although it cannot be said that it is hot, it is not as cool as August.

"Grandmother, my father didn't let my grandson go at first. It was because my grandson felt itchy when he saw his classmates and begged him." Tianyou hurriedly said when he saw his father being scolded.

After hearing this, Li stopped complaining about Cao Yong and only asked how he prepared the meal Chu Yu brought.

Chu Yu said: "In addition to braised meat and braised eggs, people also prepared pork jerky, beef jerky, and a few small pickles, which were all very good and not easy to break. They prepared steamed buns and sesame cakes for meals, and a few packs of fine buns he liked to eat."

Mrs. Li listened carefully and felt relieved when she saw that she was prepared properly.

As time goes by, the rest of the mansion also comes to see you off.

After saying a few words, seeing that it was time to set off, Li, Chuyu, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and other female relatives sent to the second door, while others sent Tianyou to the front door.

The carriage was ready and was waiting here. Next to the carriage, there were several people standing, including Cao Song, Cao Fu and Tian Hu.

Seeing this, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "What's the matter with this dark sky?"

Cao Feng smiled and said, "Isn't it just right for us to give us a chance to give our nephew a chance?"

Cao Yong pointed to Tianhu and said, "Sir, I am still young, and my nephew is still young. Are you, a father, willing to do anything?"

Cao Feng smiled and said, "This elder brother can't blame me. It was your nephew who made the idea himself, saying that he would use his cousin's light to go to the examination room and try hard to take the imperial examination in the future."

After hearing his nephew's ambition, Cao Yong was also happy and said, "He is an ambition, no worse than your father."

After listening to their brothers' conversation, Hang Seng and the others were eager to try and wanted to follow them outside the examination school.

Jiji is so good, it doesn’t seem like I’m going to send the candidates, but it seems like I’m going to play.

Seeing this, Cao Yong was so amused that he did not refute the children's interest.
