Chapter 1344: Look at each other (Part 1)

After the reception banquet, Tianyou brought Tianhu back to the East Mansion.

Because he had received a letter from Puzhou, the yards on Cao Fu were cleaned, and the west wing where Tian Hu lived had been tidied up long ago.

The reason why Tianyou personally sent his cousin over and even made a special trip to meet several housekeepers in the East Mansion was because he was afraid that they would be negligent because Tianhu was young.

Tian Hu seemed to be free from worrying, and was reborn. He had already become a little adult as a little boy whom he protected from his cousins.

The servant and maid who accompanied him were also sincere in awe in front of Tianhu. Tianhu ordered each order in an orderly manner.

Tianyou saw it and thought for a while, and said, "Third brother, isn't the fifth uncle often taking you to the yamen office?"

Tianhu said in surprise: "How do you know, brother?"

Tianyou smiled and said, "Look at the third brother who has brought the official power!"

Although it was a joke, it was not aimless. If Tian Hu was in Puzhou and only studied in school, there would never be such a big change.

Such a young man who is not very old likes to imitate adults the most, and I think he is following the same thing.

The master of the Cao family is not strict with his servants, and Cao Fu is elegant by nature. I think he will never behave like an air except in the yamen office.

Tianhu laughed and said, "Brother is just teasing me? What is the power of official power? It's just following my father and gaining some knowledge..."

The huge changes in Tianhu fell into the eyes of Cao Yong and his wife, and both of them thought about it.

After the reception banquet, the children left by themselves, and the couple also talked about the protection of the heavens.

Chu Yu said to praise Su Xin: "I was worried earlier that Tianhu was already sensible when he was adopted, and it was difficult for mother and son to get close to each other; if he had a biological child, it would be easy to hurt Tianhu's heart if he was not dealt with properly. Looking at Tianhu's appearance, the mother and son were closer to each other than in the capital."

After all, Cao Fu is Tianhu's legitimate uncle, and it is not difficult to regard his nephew as his own flesh and blood. Su Xin and Tianhu have no blood relationship, and people's hearts are mostly biased. If they really love their own son, it is also the result of human nature.

Cao Yong nodded and said, "The fifth brother and sister are good, and Xiao Wu is also a wise man. He is a posthumous son, his biological mother is also a maid and concubine. In addition to the second old lady who has not liked him for many years, she has timidly raised a good child. In addition to the fifth brother and sister who sincerely treats the heavenly protection, there are also Xiao Wu's contributions. How do you guess Xiao Wu's guidance on the heavenly protection?"

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "As the master said, Tian Hu has changed a lot now, not because of Aunt Wu's kindness, but because of Uncle Wu? I really can't guess thoroughly, and I always feel that Uncle Wu is still a child."

Cao Yong said: "In his letter, Xiao Wu mentioned that he was unwilling to return to Beijing and wanted to stay in another position while he was young. When Tianhu got married and started a career, he wanted to retire and become a landlord and wealthy who passed on his family through farming and studying. He also mentioned that their house would need Tianhu to support the door in the future, so that we uncles could take care of us."

Chu Yu felt something: "Although Tian Hu is the eldest grandson of the second old lady, he is embarrassed to be a child. Now he is relied on by his fifth uncle and fifth aunt as the eldest son, so he has a little more responsibility."

The couple looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if they are all biological children, ten fingers are still long and short. For the fifth family, it is a hidden danger to have their own children after they have passed the heir.

Now it seems that Cao Fu and his wife are really good at treating their nephews and heirs, and they have not been negligent and harsh.

Tianhu's child did not grow crooked, and he did not complain and feel rifty because his parents had biological children.

Family harmony is prosperous.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, felt at ease.

They don’t have to worry about Tianhu’s marriage. When Cao Fu was adopted, he said that he would choose a wife from the Dong family. Now he has not decided which granddaughter of the Dong family is, but because Tianhu is still young, he can take the exam first before talking about the marriage.

As for Tianhu's studies, it had already agreed in letters from Cao Yong and Cao Feng that he would not need to send them to the official school or the banner school, but instead hired another teacher.

My uncle and nephew have learned both the Four Books and Five Classics and started to learn test-oriented articles, as well as Mandarin and Chinese. For the sake of children's examinations, the pen-type tests are prepared.

The gentleman invited two people, one was a failed candidate in Beijing to prepare for the exam, and the other was a retired Ministry of Revenue writing. Cao Yong had already said hello.

Because Li and his ranks returned for a few days, they were not in a hurry to make the class start. They just waited for Changsheng to come back, and their uncles and nephews became disciples together...

The next day, Cao Yong went to the Ping Prince's Mansion.

In front of his brothers, Cao Jia had nothing to show mercy and was beaten up.

Whether it is the candidate he chose or the candidate Chu Yu chose, it is ultimately a step forward here.

I faced a noble family like the Grand Secretary’s Mansion, who paid the most attention to etiquette. If one is not handled properly, it would make people look down upon it. In the end, the one who was angry was Tianhui.

My aunt helped her niece look at her as a matchmaker. What was her parents helping her daughter look at her?

It seems that the daughter cannot get married, and she is begging her son-in-law for a son-in-law.

Besides, it is said that the Grand Secretary’s Mansion is “Qing and noble”, and there is “Qing”, but the word “Qing” is hanging in front of it. Where can I live a spacious life as noble family?

If life was spacious, the wife of the University Master would not rather accompany her reputation as a "greedy for money" and choose a daughter-in-law with a generous dowry.

Although Tianhui does not like being arrogant and extravagant, it was when he had the conditions to be arrogant and extravagant, and he had never suffered any grievances.

In terms of diet, Tianhui likes to eat light food because she is tired of eating it. But if she really sees tofu and cabbage and doesn’t see meat, then the good people will lose their appetite.

Even though the dowry is generous, when you arrive at your husband's house, can you really look at your husband's house with clear soup and radish, and your own big fish and meat?

It’s not that the Grand Secretary’s Mansion has really reached this point of poverty, but it’s just an example of diet. The Grand Secretary’s Mansion has a little weak family and is definitely different from the Cao family, which has a wealthy family. The future life is uneasy.

Even though Tianhui is not a picky person, if his husband's family thinks too much, it will be difficult for him.

Cao Yong just listened honestly and did not defend himself.

Cao Jia was so worried because he felt sorry for Tianhui. He was the only one who was younger brother.

Cao Jia was so tired that he stopped talking.

Seeing her brother's honest and aggrieved, the little depression in her heart also dispersed: "I just said that the Eight Banners are so dandy, and those who are good in character and talent like Shu Hede are rare. I asked someone to inquire about it. The family tradition of the Grand Secretary's Mansion is also good. Shu Hede is nineteen, so he is clean and has no one in the room. He is not a mess. How should you arrange it? Even if the Grand Secretary's reputation is different, you two don't have to worry too much. No matter whether she is really kind or has other intentions, she is still there, and she is a grandmother-in-law, so she can't make a fuss..."

Speaking of this, she paused and said, "Although I had seen the Tatara before, I had never dealt with him... If I were to arrange for a meal with my third sister, don't forget to tell me, I'll go over and take a look."

The Tatara family is Xu Yuanmeng's old wife.

Cao Yong nodded and said, "That's natural. There are many things that my sister has to help you make up for. Getting married to Prince Jian's mansion means marriage, and there are precedents before me, so things are handled calmly. However, Tianhui is not as good as the examples of her several aunts, there are more things to agree on."

Cao Jia nodded and said, "That's the reason. Huijie'er is the eldest granddaughter of the eldest family and has a noble family. With such a background and character, let alone the eldest grandson of the Grand Secretary, even if she is a prince, the prince and the concubine is qualified. Even if Shuhede has fame, he is just a scholar. Whether he is a supervisor or a donation, he must always have a better reputation to formally welcome the bride."

Cao Yong said: "We don't need to mention these. Xu Xiang has made arrangements for Changsun's future and will arrange for him to take the exam for the Secretary of the Cabinet."

When Cao Jia heard this, he smiled and said, "The Secretary of the Cabinet can not only show his face in front of the imperial court, but also be promoted to the fifth rank at that time... Even if Xu Yuanmeng retreats, you brothers can take care of you... I just don't know when our Sister Hui can become a wife..." In the end, he still lacked his strength.

In this world, women have "three obediences and four virtues", follow their fathers at home and follow their husbands when they get married.

Husband is noble and wife is honorable.

No matter how confident her mother's family is, Tianhui's identity follows her husband.

Even if she married a royal family in the other branch, as long as she had the title of the general of the auxiliary country, she would be a super or first- and second-rank imperial wife. When she went out for social activities, she could still be in the seat even when facing the Minister of the Shang Dynasty.

But if you marry into an official family, no matter what your husband's family is, your final hope is still on your husband...

Since Cao Jia's side also nodded, Cao Yong and his wife asked someone to reply to Cao Yi and asked her to make arrangements on their behalf.

A few days later, Cao Yi posted a post to Chu Yu, saying that he had a few pots of good peonies at home, and the flowers were in full bloom, so he wanted to ask his sister-in-law and niece to go over and relax.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when I was enjoying the flowers. Chu Yu stared at his daughter and cleaned up. The mother and daughter took a carriage to the Duke's Mansion.

In addition to Chu Yu and his daughter, the guests from the Duke's Mansion also include Cao Jia and the wife of the crown prince, Fei Mo, the old lady of the Tatara family, and his granddaughter and Cao Yi's younger sister-in-law Yu Rui Gege.

After the death of the old Duke, Prince Yurui was filial for three years, and Cao Yong was a matchmaker and told him to Nalanfusen's eldest son.

Shortly after getting married, Kuixu, the head of the Nalan family, died of illness. In order to seize the wealth of Mingzhu Mansion, the ninth prince found a son to demote Nalan Fusen, the Nalan family's house, to Fujian. Princess Yurui left Beijing with her parents-in-law and his family until the late emperor passed away and ascended the throne today.

Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise. When he ascended the throne, many people of the Nalan people once affixed the eighth prince and the ninth prince were abandoned, but Nalanfusen was not included.

Not only did Nalanfusson directly raised the three flags, but his eldest son Zhanhai also added the guards. In a few years, he had been promoted from a third-class guard to a first-class guard.

Princess Yu Rui has a poor relationship with her parents, but she is blessed with her children. She has been married for more than ten years and has blossomed and then bears fruit. She has a daughter and three men. She lives a comfortable and comfortable life and is close to her parents' home.

The one she took back to her parents' home today was the eldest daughter she had when she got married, her nickname was Longyuan, Xu Sui Eleven.

Cao Jia and his daughter-in-law have the most noble identities, but they arrived earlier, only behind Yurui and his daughter.

Because he recently saw his son looking at his wife, Cao Jia was more careful when he saw a girl as big as Longan and couldn't help but hold his hands and ask a few more questions.

Although Nalanfusen was a concubine of the Nalan family, as the Nalan family fell, the house was already quite prominent. In addition, he knew that Nalanfusen was friendly with his parents, which made Cao Jia quite concerned.

Knowing that his sister-in-law's "flower-watching banquet" had been arranged, she brought her daughter over, and Princess Yu Rui had a good idea, but she was not on the side of the Pingwang Mansion.

Seeing Cao Jia holding Qiu Yuan's hand, he praised her endlessly and looked full of love. Yurui tried hard to wink her sister-in-law.

Cao Yi hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Although our aunt has three sons, the most lovely thing is this precious daughter. Now I have started to pay attention and just wait for the selection and start choosing a son-in-law."

Cao Jia was stunned when he heard this, then put down Longyuan's hand and said with a smile: "The parents in the world are the same. Children are treasures, especially beautiful girls, and you must worry about it..."

Since you want to choose your son-in-law, you are waiting for the palace to put the sign. It seems that it is an unintentional royal family. Otherwise, it would be more decent to ask the palace to point out the marriage.

Although Cao Jia was a little regretful, when he looked at the little girl's delicate makeup, he didn't look like he was visiting his uncle or aunt's house, his heart couldn't help but move, his eyes bent, and he looked at Longan even more carefully.

The Nalan family has always produced beautiful women and handsome men, and longan is no exception.

He not only has the dignity and grandeur of a northern lady, but also has the charm of a southern woman. He looks much more refined than ordinary celebrities in the capital.

So, Cao Jia fell in love with him just now...

Outside the Duke's Mansion, the carriages of the Grand Secretary's Mansion and the Cao Mansion were one after another, with a difference of more than ten feet, and they arrived at the Duke's Mansion one after another.

Because both families were relatives and they usually walked around, the doorman asked people to send letters inside, and at the same time asked people to bring the two families into the second door one after another.

At this moment, Cao Yi had already received the news and rushed to the second gate to greet him.

Cao Yi had just finished talking with him and the Tara family, and the carriage from Cao's mansion also arrived.

Although he was the closest relative of his parents, Chu Yu was the eldest sister-in-law, and Cao Yi was not willing to be disrespectful. He accused him of the Taola family. A few steps closer, he personally helped the eldest sister-in-law get out of the car.

Looking at his sister-in-law respectfully, like to Dabin, Chu Yu was about to make fun of him when he saw the grandparents and grandchildren of the Tatara family standing not far away.

She then looked solemnly, helped her sister-in-law's hand out of the carriage, and after her sister-in-law introduced her, she greeted Tatara.

Although she has a good temper, she really wants to take up the air and is also majestic.

Even though she is facing the wife of the Grand Secretary, she is the grandson of the Holy Ancestor, the eldest daughter of the prince, and the princess, and the imperial concubine. Not only is she noble in her status, but her rank is much higher than that of the Tatara clan.

Seeing her like this, the Grand Secretary’s wife became more respectful in her words.

Although Tianhui was beside her mother, she also saw her aunt's and in-laws' relatives, "Grandmother", and she bent her knees and asked her to rest.

The lady of the Grand Secretary personally helped Tianhui up and held Tianhui's hand. She did not look up and down rudely, but squinted her eyes, looked at Tianhui's eyebrows, looked at her clear eyes, and slowly showed a big smile, and said with a smile: "I heard from the picture that my daughter-in-law praising Miss Hui, but this is the first time I have seen her. No wonder everyone loves her with such a character. When the old woman saw her, she also felt that she liked her..."
