1318 Luncheon

Zuo Cheng followed his brother and watched the farce coldly. He was even more disgusted with the so-called clan relatives, and he became more and more concerned about the kindness of the elders of the Cao family.

At this time, the servant came to report that Tianyou was here and was waiting outside. Zuo Cheng was worried and confused. He thought of a bad thing and ran out in panic, causing this false alarm.

Tianyou was very thoughtful and grew up with Zuo Cheng. He had a tacit understanding. He knew nothing about him and knew why he was panicked.

When Zuozhu was approaching, Tianyoujiu waved his hand and sent the servant to follow him behind him. He lived with Zuozhu, and Zuocheng walked out of the alley.

While walking, Tianyou told her that her father had already bought the old house of Ning and told them that the two brothers would no longer have to make things difficult for how to support Mrs. Ning.

The two brothers are upset about this matter these two days, and they are so happy to hear such a solution.

After the joy, the brothers' faces darkened.

Zuo Zhu looked ashamed and said, "The adoptive father is still sick. We cannot serve the sick bed. Instead, we still have to pay attention to our reasons, which makes the adoptive father worry about the gods. It is really our unfilial piety."

Zuo Cheng was stunned until Zuo Zhuo pulled him for a while before he woke up.

Tianyou looked at him, shook his head, and said, "What are you thinking about? You can't relax your mind. If you have any difficulties, everyone is discussing the solution to it, don't think too much. You are old enough, just like an old man."

When he raised his face, he felt the same way as an elder brother. Zuo Cheng was also convinced by him. But when he heard his old-fashioned words, he couldn't help but laugh: "Brother's words and actions are becoming more and more like his adoptive father."

Tianyou smiled and glanced at him, saying, "The country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change. Isn't this revealed? I have to get back a word and I will not suffer any loss at all. Keep this habit in the future without worrying about it. What you can't solve is also your elders, and no one will see you brothers suffer losses."

No matter what information is hidden behind the news, I thought I didn’t have to move back to this house that was run by Mrs. Ning, Zuo Cheng felt at ease after two days.

The sky became darker and darker, and the north wind broke out at some point. The face was really hurt. Zuo Cheng stopped, but Tianyou did not leave him. After saying a few words to him, he urged him to go back.

When Tianyou passed the message, he had no worries. He said goodbye to the two brothers and turned around with the servant.

It was dark and a servant from Ning's house picked up lanterns and hung them high from a distance.

Because of the funeral, white lanterns were naturally hung, and looking from a distance, it made me feel a little cold.

Zuo Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, now we are different from the past. We have moved out of the mansion. In my early years, we have purchased land and given it to you and me. Isn't it inappropriate to take over this house again? Are you too greedy?"

He was really shocked by the scene of the goodness of the mourning hall just now and the tit-for-tat for the sake of money and industry.

Cao Yong only said that the fields and shops purchased under the name of Tian’s early years were all purchased with the profits of Tian’s principal, and did not benefit from the Cao family.

But after returning to the clan for a year, their brothers learned more about the changes that year.

When the Ning family was ruined, all the dowry jewelry of the mother's legitimate mother was gone.

Someone from the Niuhulu family came to investigate, but the reason for leaving it alone was that most of the jewelry was used as a ticket.

By holding Niuhulu's dowry list and those death bills as notes, you can know the geometry of the gift that Tian received.

If there is no care of my foster father and family, let alone returning to Beijing to buy property, it is the same thing as whether we can keep our money or whether we can eat and wear warmth.

In the eyes of the world, the adoptive father's property is inherited from the descendants of the Cao family, but it is distributed to their brothers and Hang Seng a lot.

The adoptive father and mother regard their brothers as their biological parents, and they are also filial to their biological parents.

Tianyou has always taken care of them as his elder brother, and they don’t care much about it, but when Tianbao, who is about ten years apart from their age, will he despise them for this?

There is also the Changsheng who is about to grow up. If there is any dissatisfaction with the separation of the family in the future, will he use their brotherly affairs to criticize the elder brother? What are you talking about such sarcastic words as being generous to outsiders than to their own family members?

Zuo Zhu couldn't imagine what it would be like if the younger generation of the Cao family also learned to start intrigue.

After hearing this, Zuo Cheng stopped and said, "Does my brother think that my adoptive father bought the old house of Ning's family not to give it to you and my brothers, but to keep it for yourself?"

Zuo Zhu was stunned and said, "Yes, the adoptive father does not lack a house. That's why..."

Zuo Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is that there is such a reason? Maybe he just happened to hear that the other party was going to sell, so his adoptive father took over."

Zuo Zhu had always been whatever his younger brother said, and smiled and said, "This is what is called unintentional planting willows. According to the idea that the elder brother came up with, the second brother had nothing to worry about."

Zuo Cheng smiled and said nothing, but his heart was sore.

The adoptive father bought an old house, but he did not inform their brothers before, so there was a reason.

It was just that I never forgot to rehabilitate their father, not only for the purpose of being friends with their fathers, but also for the sincere love of their brothers.

Their brothers have already taken office and know the dangers in the officialdom.

It’s all right now, their brothers are just writing and writing styles, doing odd jobs in six departments. When their brothers are promoted, their father and grandfather’s resume will be prominent.

After committing an official position, it will be the big obstacle for their brothers' career.

Who else can be helpless if the identity and popularity of the adoptive father are so powerful?

Zuo Cheng looked at the white lantern in front and narrowed his eyes.

The emperor has passed 500,000 years of life. Throughout history, which emperor can live long life...

The next day, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, is the Little New Year.

In order to cure diseases and destroy evil, Chu Yu had already asked people to buy several large boxes of firecrackers.

Early in the morning, when Tianyou heard the sound of firecrackers from other families around him, he brought Changsheng and Tianbao to the front yard to set off firecrackers.

The "crackling" sound of firecrackers lasted for half an hour.

Even in Wutong Garden, I can hear it sincerely.

At noon today, a banquet was held in the mansion. In addition to Wen Zhi and Niu Niu and his wife, as well as Cao Xiang's family in the East Mansion, Hang Seng naturally arrived.

If it weren't for Mrs. Ning Si's sudden death and Zuo Zhuo, Zuo Cheng and his wife would have come.

If Cao Yong meant, the family banquet should have been placed in the Lanyuan Courtyard as before.

Li felt sorry for his son and knew that he could not see the cold air and wind, so he asked Chu Yu to arrange it in Wutong Garden.

The room in Wutong Garden was burning warmly.

Cao Yong took the man to talk in the east room, while the female family members were all outside the west room.

Niu Niu has been pregnant for four months, wearing loose clothes and a much rounder face.

No matter who is in the house, it is a happy event. Li looked at Niu Niu happily and said that she was blessed.

Chu Yu used the excuse of letting Niu Niu change her clothes, pulled Niu Niu into the inner room, and whispered to ask her if she had been sitting and lying around these days, whether her maid or not was naughty, and so on.

Although there is Aunt Gui at Niu Niu's family, Aunt Gui has never given birth. Even if there are other experienced servants around her, Chu Yu is worried and can't help but give in vain.

He also worried that Tianhui was by his side, and Chu Yu had some words that were not something that his daughter in the boudoir could hear, so he brought Niu Niu to the inner room.

Cao Xiang and Chunhua's legitimate son Minjie'er are three years old and will be less than two birthdays, which is the age to learn to speak. Unlike the children who like to make trouble, Minjie'er is very well-behaved and honest.

I just sat obediently beside Chunhua, competing for a pair of big eyes, looking at everyone.

Li had long been so reluctant to do so, so he held her in his arms behind him.

Although Min Jie'er was still talking hard, she remembered the person. She let Li hold him, and did not struggle, and honestly let Li hold him.

Li groped through Sister Min's back, feeling that her heart was about to melt. He smiled and said to Chunhua: "Our Sister Min is so lovely. I have never seen such a well-behaved child again."

Li praised him sincerely, but Tianhui was by his side, Chunhua couldn't respond loudly and said with a smile: "She has times too. She was so honest that she was much more honest when she was in front of her uncle. Yesterday, the Fourth Master teased him and hid her cloth tiger. She took the revenge and refused to talk to the Fourth Master again. Until the Fourth Master couldn't stand it, she was willing to speak again."

Minjie'er seemed to hear Chunhua talking about her, and felt a little embarrassed. She turned around and buried her little head in Li's arms.

Li rubbed Min Jie'er, and his expression became more loving.

When she was a daughter, she was the housekeeper. She had to take care of the housework and shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the society. In addition, her daughter was carried by the old lady to raise her, and the mother and daughter had limited time to spend together.

Even if they are close relatives, the mother and daughter are more polite than close together.

Later, although Cao Yong was born again and became immortal many years later, his son and daughter were different.

My son was pretty well-behaved when he was a little older, and he stopped sticking to his mother.

Like Chu Yu and Niu Niu, they are called sister-in-law and sister-in-law. The relationship is like mother and daughter. They whisper to each other, which makes Li envious.

Among the granddaughters, Tianhui was regarded as a treasure by Cao Yong and his wife because of her eye disease when she was young. Li, the grandmother, could not be squeezed in.

Regarding Niu Niu, Li's early viewing was a bit complicated. After more than ten years of getting along, he gradually became harmonious.

As for Li Xiangyu, another girl who had lived in Cao's mansion, she was not very close to her because she was unwilling to let her grandson think she loved her parents' family.

If the wife had a granddaughter for herself, Li's heart moved and decided to order people to donate more incense and oil to the temple and ask for something in front of the Buddha...

At this time, Cao Yong was sitting in the study, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, listening to Cao Xiang's school exam homework comfortably.

Tianbao and Tianyu are all here, but they have only been enlightened and they have been tested for three hundred and thousands.

There are several more questions to do with the two homework of Changsheng and Tianyang.

In addition to these little ones, Tianyou and Hengsheng, the four of them were not left behind. In addition to the questions in the Four Books and Five Classics, Cao Xiang also quoted the classics and asked several example questions in miscellaneous books.

Tianyou responded calmly, Zuo Cheng pondered for a long time, while Zuo Zhu and Hengsheng were both huddling. After a while, they were so anxious that they were sweating heavily.

Cao Xiang was not satisfied with the result of this test, so he just frowned and looked at Cao Yong.

Cao Yong understood what he meant. Even if Zuozhuan and they gave up the imperial examination, Zuozhuan and the others were still young. They were impulsive when they were young. They knew the etiquette when they read books and could smooth out their amen character...
