Chapter 1198: Love

Cao Mansion, Yuyuan, Shangfang.

Rubbing the soft-topped cloth shoes in his hand, Eunuch Tian kept nodding and said, "What a good thing, I'm so mean... But I'm old and I'm even struggling with the aisle. I'm mostly lying in the house, but I'm wasting your kindness..."

When Eunuch Tian left the palace and raised his rank, he was already in his seventies. Ten years passed in a blink of an eye and he was already an 80-year-old.

Due to his incomplete health, he mostly lived in seclusion in the Cao Mansion. Except for the few masters of the Cao family, few people were rarely seen. In recent years, he became less and less likely to move.

Cao Yong was sent to Zhili, and Eunuch Tian did not follow him and chose to stay in the mansion for maintenance.

In the Cao family over the years, in addition to often talking to Li, the one whom Eunuch Tian interacted with him was Tian.

Just because they recounted the old story, the Tian family and the Eunuch Tian were fellow villagers. They came from the same village, both from Hejian County, Zhili.

Both of them were taken to the capital by their clan members after their parents died. The Tian family was sold to the Ning family as a little maid, while the eunuch Tian was sold to the old eunuch as a little apprentice and entered the palace with nothing.

However, when Eunuch Tian entered the palace, he was still young and only remembered the place name of his hometown, and all the other things were vague.

After becoming the leader and father-in-law in the palace in his early years, he also wanted to send someone to Hejian to inquire about relatives and clan members, but he felt ashamed of his ancestors because he had lost his roots, so he delayed it.

When she learned that Tian was also from Hejian, Eunuch Tian became a little closer to her and asked about her father's name.

Tian remembered the name of his father and grandfather. After hearing this, Eunuch Tian couldn't determine whether he was a relative.

When people in the village name their names, they do not define their genealogy like those of scholars. When they use the word "model", they often use names that are easy to remember and support, such as "high, full, strong, rich, and a hundred years old".

Even though he is not a clan, because of his fellow villagers and surnames, Eunuch Tian has always been close to Tian.

Tian is soft-faced and kind-hearted. Seeing that Eunuch Tian is pitiful, he becomes more respectful to the elderly.

If it weren't for Zuo Zhuo, the Zuo Cheng brothers and the two of them would go on a career in the future, and Tian would like to recognize Tian as their granddaughter.

However, after getting along over the years, although the two have no name for grandparents and grandchildren, they have developed a sense of grandparents and grandchildren.

Seeing Eunuch Tian’s face pleated on the kang pillow, his hands and feet were no longer stable, Tian couldn’t help feeling sad and said, “My father-in-law, it’s not good to always lie in the house. When the sun is enough at noon, you also let the little girl help you out for a walk.”

The two disciples of Eunuch Tian were sent to Prince Zhuang's mansion by Cao Yong a few years ago. This was the arrangement of Eunuch Tian.

If the eunuch is incomplete, it will be difficult for him to live in the world even if he leaves the palace.

Eunuch Tian himself was fine. He was old and Rong Yang was just waiting for death; those two eunuchs were young. Even if Cao Yong was kind and righteous, he would continue to support them after Eunuch Tian was gone, it would not be easy to hide and wait for death for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Eunuch Tian asked Cao Yong to settle the two disciples.

After hearing what Tian said, Eunuch Tian shook his head and said, "It's good to just take a break like this. Recently, my father-in-law has always dreamed that when he first entered the palace to work, he dreamed of serving people. After all, he was a servant. His standing skills were really practiced. The thick calluses on the bottom of his feet were half thick... It is also a blessing to be able to rest well..."

Tian couldn't persuade the old man, so he said that he would ask him to go there in the future and he would always recognize the door.

Eunuch Tian nodded with a smile, dragged out a small wooden box from behind the kang pillow, opened it, and pushed down Tian and said, "I don't want to get married with my two children, father-in-law, I'm not empty-handed. For these two gadgets, I'll play with the children.

Tian looked down and saw that there were a pair of Maitreya bronze statues inside, each of which was as big as two fists. He looked round and cute.

Although it was not a valuable item, Tian was still very grateful to the elders and said, "Dad father-in-law, then I will accept it on behalf of the two children."

We were going to move out tomorrow, and there were still many things in Tian’s place, so we didn’t sit in Yuyuan for a long time. After saying a few more words with Eunuch Tian, ​​we got up and said goodbye.

Eunuch Tian was also a little tired, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go."

However, when Tian held the wooden box, he was stunned.

I thought this pair of copper Maitreya was only seven or eight kilograms, but I didn’t expect to pick up the box and find that it was actually much heavier.

Although Tian thought it was strange, he thought that Eunuch Tian came from the palace, and that inner creation was naturally unique...

Things that the Tian family and his son used to have been delivered to the new house.

After breakfast the next day, Tian took his two sons and bid farewell to the people of the Cao family, and left by car with a few maids and mothers.

Tianyou rode a horse to see him off, stayed there for half a day, helping Zuo stay. Zuo Cheng settled everything before returning to Cao's mansion.

A few days later, it was September 28th, and the day left was to stay at the hiring house.

Originally, the Ning family and the Ma family were close relatives, Yongqing was the big media.

Now Yongqing has become the adoptive father of Xiangjun and is the closest relative, so Yongsheng is the matchmaker role. Cao Yong and his wife and Yongliang and his wife went to the Ma family with Yongsheng as the closest relative. "Mrs. Quanfu" who was inscribed for the newcomer, invited Prince Chun's wife Borjigit.

The 24-carried betrothal gift is extremely decent even in the family of officials.

The silk and satin made the Ma family feel a little envious in their hearts, which was originally a bit of complaints about this marriage.

In addition, the Minister of Revenue and Prince Heshuo personally handed the ceremony, and the prince's wife was the envoy of "Quanfu". Such a temperament is enough to hire Ma Jun, the girl from the Shaoqing family of Dali Temple, even the daughter of the Bachelor's Mansion.

Others just brought envy, but Yongliang and Dai Jia couple were both unable to tell what they felt.

Although they did not object to the two brothers Zuozhu confessed their guilt and returned to their ancestors, they also showed the kindness of the elders, but the couple still had some precautions towards the two brothers Zuozhu.

Yongliang was willing to give up part of the land and distributed it to his brother Zuozhu in a seemingly fair manner, but he was afraid of losing his big fortune because of a small matter. After all, his legitimate heir was somewhat guilty when facing the two legitimate branches of the Ning family.

Until today, after seeing the new house of Zuozhu brothers and experiencing this conviction, the couple realized that Zuocheng might not be interested in the Ning family.

Even without the help of the family, the Cao family will be a strong support, and the two of them will live a good life. Compared with the dilapidated old house, this new house with the plaque of "Ningzhai" seems more vibrant...

*

Because Ma Jun is the only son and two houses, Ma Jun's wife Fang took her concubine and children from the eldest wife to live in the old house of Uncle Ma Jun, the servant's mansion at that time. His wife, Zhong, lived in a house near the servant's mansion with her children.

Although they are family and neighbors, they have a separate courtyard for two houses and have not been connected. They do not live together, and they do not live together, which makes them less right and wrong.

Because the two houses had plaques of "Horse House" hanging, people called them "East Mansion" and "Western Mansion".

Xiangjun was born in the Xifu Zhong family, so the Ma family invited guests in the Xifu.

Following the prince's wife and Chu Yu, Dai Jia felt a little nervous, afraid that she would be rude. Their group went to Xiangjun's boudoir under the guidance of the Ma family and made a grand ceremony...

Xiangjun was wearing a pomegranate red flag suit, which was more pink and snow-like. Her face was soft, and she sat on the kang with a slightly lowered head, with the shyness of a girl and the calmness of a noble girl from an official family.

Borjigit sent Bai Yuruyi and put the hairpin ring on her; Dai Jia was responsible for letting the bride try on her new clothes, and it was all done smoothly.

After coming out of Xiangjun's house, Borjigit praised Chu Yu several times.

Because she is a rare "full blessing person" among the royal family members, she is often invited to be a "full blessing person". There are not hundreds of girls she has appointed, but dozens of them.

According to her, this lady from the Ma family is really

This time I praise Xiangjun, I am sincere.

Chu Yu listened with a smile, and she also liked Xiangjun very much.

Although Xiangjun is not old, because he is the eldest sister, he acts very calmly and does not show any impetuousness at all...

After returning from the Ma family after drinking, Cao Yong and Chu Yu were a little drunk and were placed by the maids after changing their clothes.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already early the next morning.

Cao Yong was unwilling to accept it, so he reluctantly got up from the kang, cleaned up, and went to the Ministry of Revenue to click Mao.

The Ministry of Revenue was at a time when the work was heavy, and Cao Yong, the Minister of State, also worked all morning and did not take a break until noon.

In the afternoon, news came that the Holy Lord returned to the palace or something.

The election for the fourth year of Yongzheng's show girl election kicked off at this time.

The fourth sister left the mansion and entered the palace.

Although the fourth sister's appearance is only ordinary, she is dignified and has a strong skeleton. According to the old people, it is a good appearance for Yizi. Therefore, during the preliminary election, the fourth sister was left with a sign in the palace and moved into Chuxiu Palace with other beautiful girls.

Zhaojia has already entrusted her to her cousin, so she is not very worried.

The only thing that made her worried was that if the fourth sister really entered the royal family, it would be better to have a higher title than Seshtu. Otherwise, when the sisters meet, they will be punished by the legitimate daughter when they talk about the country.

In the forbidden city, the place of Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi looked at Hongzhu with a smile and said, "This fourth girl from the Cao family is the one you mentioned three years ago?"

"Well" Hongzhou nodded vigorously and looked at Concubine Xi with hope: "My mom, I have this kind of mind for my son. Please help me."

After hearing this, Concubine Xi showed a serious expression on her face and said for a while: "Your legitimate concubine, the candidate for the concubine, I have only suggestions, but the last decision was the emperor. If she said that with her identity, the concubine could barely be able to do so. But the Thirteenth Princess came to the palace a few days ago just for the fourth girl of the Cao family...That's what I mean, the Cao family had no intention of sending a daughter as a concubine, and the Thirteenth Princess had already chosen the candidate for Miss Cao's fourth girl..."

When Hongzhou heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After he woke up, his usual hippie smile had faded from his face, and there was a little more depression between his eyebrows and eyes.

He looked at Concubine Xi and said seriously: "Mom, which girl did Emperor Ama choose for me?"

Concubine Xi shook her head and said, "Who will know who is starting to be the talent scholar?"

Hongzhou picked up the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything else, but he knew in his heart that in order to prevent himself from having thoughts that he shouldn't have, his legitimate wife and side concubines would avoid the powerful family...
