Chapter 441: Eliminate filial piety

No matter what Zhaojia is, Cao Song belongs to his son after all, so he would visit Shaoyuan first.

The imperial physician had already come and asked for a pulse, but said that he was furious and prescribed two prescriptions to help the good student. When Chu Yu saw Cao Song coming, he avoided it first and asked the mother and son to talk.

At the gate of the courtyard, Cao Yong was standing, waiting for Chu Yu to come out.

Chu Yu lowered his head and looked at his chest, but his expression was a little wrong.

Cao Yong just thought it was a bad thing because of the imperial physician and asked, "Why, I am seriously ill? It will be the life of my second uncle to get rid of filial piety in the near future. If my second aunt is sick, it will be chaotic at that time."

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay to say it's okay, it's enough to take care of it for a few days. Is the second brother going to make a fuss? Do we need to be here to guard it?"

Cao Yong glanced at the side of the main room and said, "I have already talked about him, and he knows in his heart that he will not be fooled anymore. Let's go back quickly. I haven't seen my daughter for these two hours, and I'm thinking about it."

Since he knew that Cao Song would not make trouble, Chu Yu was speechless, and the couple returned to Wutong Garden together.

Tianhui woke up after a sleep, and her breasts were about to be fed. Chu Yu took the child from her breasts and gave him milk. Cao Yong felt very conflicted when he saw his daughter eating sweetly. He hoped that she could grow up early, but also afraid that she would suffer if she was too big.

Chu Yu remembered the little girl he was watching in the silver building just now. Although she was not old, she had a good appearance and was comparable to Wu'er. Tianhui didn't know what she looked like when she grew up...

Peony Garden, upper room.

When Zhao Jia saw Cao Song coming in, she snorted coldly, turned her face and refused to look at him. Cao Song felt a little regretful when he saw his mother lying on the bed with a towel covered with a white face.

He leaned forward and sat on the edge of the kang, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

Lu Ju was originally standing by the kang, but when she saw Cao Song coming, she bent over and retreated.

"Mother, my son has no other intentions. I just saw that my aunt and Xiao Si were so scared, so I was so anxious..." Cao Song said with a grunt when he saw Lu Ju go out.

Zhao Jia didn't listen, but after hearing this, she became angry again. She stood up with a "quick" sound, threw the towel on her forehead on the kang, and said, "Why am I so tired of my heart? Are you promising? I know how to make decisions for my brothers, but what do you think of me as a mother? Whose son dares to disobey your mother like this? I am the only one who makes you feel more and more unruly, right?"

Cao Song turned around and said, "Mother, my son is twenty years old, not a child. I know that my mother wants to save some money. But she doesn't save so much law. Jade Aunt is already in her thirties and has grown up with the old lady since she was a child. Although she is not a high status, she has never left our house and has never suffered from the hardships outside. If you don't keep her, what should you do if you let her be a woman's family? If she has the intention of a walkway, she will mention it after her father passed away. If you don't look at anything else, just see her as a filial piety for her father for these three years, and her son should also support her for the rest of her life."

Zhao Jia was told by her son, with a little shame and anger on her face, and said, "What do you know, a young man? Is this widow so easy to be a wife? She doesn't have a son or a half daughter, how do you survive in the next few decades?"

When Cao Song heard his mother mention the child, he frowned and said, "Mother, have you forgotten? On the month when his father passed away, his mother was sick. If it weren't for serving his mother, the aunt wouldn't have had a child... But he didn't know if he was a little brother or a girl... Because of this, his son looked at the fourth aunt more differently than the third aunt..."

Cao Quan's wives and concubines were not ranked at first, but this was only taken by Baodie and Jade after Lu Mei entered the mansion in the 49th year of Kangxi.

Zhao Jia's expression was moved when she remembered the old things, but she still pouted and said angrily: "Your father is alive and this concubine is full of room, so I have to tolerate it; now that there are no people, I can't be a widow alone?"

Seeing that his mother was so willful, Cao Song said, "Even if the fourth aunt is willing to leave, isn't the third aunt still there? My mother thought about these useless things, but instead caused trouble for herself."

Seeing that his son was stumbled and spoke much more carefully than usual, Zhao Jia turned his head and asked, "This is all your brother taught you, let you coax me?"

Cao Song shook his head and said seriously: "Mother, it was the son who thought it through himself. In the past, the mother had to worry about everything, but it was really hard for her to think too much. Since the son was old, she would not let her worry about it in the future."

When Zhao Jia heard this, she was a little stunned. It seemed that her son had grown up. She only felt her eyes sore and couldn't tell whether she was happy or something. She seemed to have a blocked throat, but she didn't say anything for a long time.

Then Cao Song said again: "Mother, my son just told my brother that he would not prepare for the exam. Please help me find a relationship and make up for an errand."

After hearing this, Zhao Jia was concerned and asked, "Your brother agreed? But what errands can you do after you say? It would be great if you were to replenish the guards, both decent and leisurely." As he spoke, joy appeared on his face.

When Cao Song saw this, he was afraid that Zhao Jia would take it as a verified letter. If the compensation was not completed, he would be disappointed again. He hurriedly said, "Mother, the palace guards have a fixed quota, so how can they be so easy to supplement? If there is no gap, it will not be useful even if you find a relationship."

The guards in the palace usually have double salary, and the reward is three salary, and the lowest rank is also the sixth rank. When Zhao Jia thought of this, she was very eager, but she also knew that her son was talking about the truth. Who has no foundation for this family that can supplement the guards?

It was really a carrot and a pit. A few days ago, when Tianhui was full of moon, he heard someone mention whose boy wanted to make up for a guard. He spent 8,000 taels of silver, but he couldn't get what he wanted.

"If this guard can't be compensated, what other errands can he do?" Zhao Jia asked.

Cao Song said: "Who knows, you have to see where there are vacancy. This is the first time that your sons are working as a member of the job, and you will be able to earn a salary. If you earn a salary, you can also supplement your mother's family income."

The eldest son is expected to be a worker, and Zhao Jia didn't care about being angry. She looked at her son and said, "You will be dissuaded in a few days. I didn't know that you were going out to work as a worker. I only cut four sets of clothes for you to change seasons. How can I do this? I will call the tailor to come over tomorrow and cut a few sets of clothes for you. I still have some good materials here, but I took them from the south. I originally wanted to wait for you to cut clothes for you when you get the wedding, but now I can use them first."

Seeing that his mother was in a good mood, Cao Song hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Mom, let's give it to the third child in my uncle's cousin!"

Zhao Jia was still thinking about it with a beautiful plan, thinking that the eldest son had a cousin and was in the capital. After several entrants, he had a great future. Although her husband had been in office for more than 20 years, he started as a seventh-rank county magistrate, and finally he was only a fifth-rank rank. When he reached his son, even if he couldn't catch up with his brother, he would be much better than his.

When she thought of her husband, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Just thinking about this, Zhao Jia did not listen to Cao Song's subsequent words seriously, and looked up and asked, "Hmm? What are you for the third brother?"

Cao Song knew that his mother was anxious. If she didn't explain it clearly, then after she was eliminated, she would have to settle the marriage. If that were the case, wouldn't she be so worried?

"If my mother really likes cousin Ruhui, she will definitely give it to the third child! My cousin is two years older than the third child, and they are also suitable for both of them." Cao Song said with a tough forehead.

Sure enough, Zhao Jia frowned and looked at Cao Song for a while, and said, "What, how can your cousin be worthy of you? Ruhui wants to be good at appearance and family background. If it weren't for the illness that delayed the talent show the year before, even the concubine in the royal palace could do it. Now I have given up my old face, begged your uncle several times, and have been more careful in front of your aunt, so that I can't rely on you. Now, you say this. Since our Zhao Jia daughter cannot be worthy of you, are you still thinking about some golden branches and jade leaves?"

Cao Song lowered his head and said, "Mother, what kind of golden branches and jade leaves are not golden branches and jade leaves? This is for marrying a wife for himself. If it is pleasing to the eyes, it is more noble than golden branches and jade leaves. If it is not obsessed with it, it is even annoying like a dog-tail grass."

This was the first time that Zhao Jia heard his son talk about this, and he felt very surprised, and said, "What kind of flowers and grass are you? Which family do you mean to be attracted to? Which family belongs to? I want to hear, whose daughter is so good? Even my Zhao Jia's legitimate daughter is better."

Cao Song knew that his mother was a little snobbish, but Jinghui's truth was hard to say now, so he said vaguely: "There is not a single word yet. Her family is a big Manchu family and may not be able to look down on our family."

After hearing what his son said, Zhao Jia became more and more curious and said, "A large Manchu family... Tong Jia family, Guarjia family, Fucha family, or Nala family? Our family even married the princess and princesses, and she can't marry her daughter?"

Half what Cao Song said was the truth.

That is what Jinghui means, and he can't make up his mind. However, when he goes there again, Jinghui rarely shows up, mostly asking Chun'er to come out to pass the message.

There are only Jinghui and the grandson of the "Dong E family" who are in contact with the Cao family. How dare Cao Song mention it? After all, the incident of Gali was so disturbing. Even the inner wife of Zhaojia, who had heard about the Dong E family.

She also felt something in front of Cao Song. After all, Gali was famous in Jiangning, and for a while, she was in the limelight.

Therefore, Cao Song said, "Don't ask, mother, wait until my son gets his job, and then ask for a look. Ruhui's cousin, mother should not mess with her. The son will not marry her."

Even though he was curious, when talking about the serious matters, Zhao Jia was a little embarrassed and said, "No, although you didn't listen to your aunt's decision, it was almost six or seven points. How could this be good?"

Seeing that his mother did not say anything, Cao Song hurriedly said, "Mother, you like your niece. If you want her to be a daughter-in-law, your son can understand his intentions. His son likes that girl, and his background and upbringing are the best choices, but his son only wants that one in his heart. Is it okay for his mother to understand his son?"

Seeing Cao Song so serious, Zhao Jia frowned and said, "Since you have this heart, why didn't you tell me earlier that you are not up or down now, but how about it?"

"After that it was my father's filial period, how could my son say these things to his mother? Is that son still a human being? Today I confessed to my mother and hope that my mother can love her son." Cao Song lowered his head and muttered.

Zhao Jia sighed and said, "Let's wait, just as you said, wait until you get off your job and consider the matter of discussing marriage..."

*

After a while, half a month passed, on the tenth day of August, it was the day when the second house "eliminated filial piety".

When he got up early, Zhao Jia took his son and daughter to move Cao Quan's spiritual master from the inner hall of Shaoyuan to the ancestral hall for resettlement. He had to burn incense and bow down again.

Then, everyone changed into mourning clothes and wore new clothes. This mourning period was over.

Relatives and friends came one after another. Chu Yu accompanied Zhao Jia to entertain his family members, while Cao Yong took Cao Song brothers to receive male guests in the front yard.

There are all kinds of customs of "excluding costumes". Some invite Taoists to make waterways and pavilions, and some invite opera troupes to the mansion to sing big operas. But there is one thing that is, placing a mat and having wine.

In the past, people emphasized that white weddings were more grand than red weddings. This "excluding submission" was also a big day. Not only close relatives, but also families with some friendships would come to give gifts and drinks. Among them, there were Tian Jia, the wife of Ma Liandao, a doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Tian Jia's second daughter is sixteen years old and has reached the age of the other party. Because she is a Baoyi family, her daughter should have participated in the annual "small selection" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, Tian Jia felt sorry for her daughter, so she was willing to send her to the palace to serve as a palace maid. So, she asked someone early and lost the election, which was considered to be exempted from errands.

Tian Jia had already asked people to inquire about these brothers of the Cao family. He knew that he had not been married, so he had some thoughts in his heart.

In front of Zhaojia, Tian Jia had to flatter him, and his words showed some meaning.

When Zhao Jia saw someone marrying her, she was secretly happy. She regretted why she was so silly in front of her sister-in-law, as if she was as wise as her sister-in-law, which made her sister-in-law look full of airs.
