Chapter 1214: Opening the House (1)

Chapter 1214: Opening the Mansion (Part 1)

Wutong Garden, upper room.

The sound of gongzi came from afar. It was already the fourth day of the day, but Cao Yong tossed and turned, still no sleepiness.

Chu Yu didn't fall asleep either and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to drink water?"

Cao Yongyuan didn't think so. After hearing what his wife said, he just felt that his mouth was dry and he turned over and sat up.

He was the only one at home, and there was no maid left for the night in the upper room of Wutong Garden. Chu Yu sat up and said, "I'll pour tea for you?"

Cao Yong stopped her and said, "Lying down better, I'll do it myself." As he spoke, he had already lifted the curtain and got up and went downstairs.

It was mid-month, and the moonlight shone in from the glass window.

Cao Yong took advantage of the moonlight and walked to the round table on the ground. He didn't hold the lights. He groped and poured warm hot tea and poured two cups of it.

"Master, do you regret it?" Chu Yu noticed her husband's strangeness and said softly.

Cao Yong turned around, shook his head, and said, "No, I just didn't expect Hang Seng to leave the mansion so soon. He thought he would have to wait until he got married."

After the imperial edict was issued, Geynpile attacked King Zasaktu Khan and also led the prince of the right wing left banner. He was granted the prince's mansion in the capital, and his eldest son was stationed in Beijing to command the position of guard.

This decree does not mention the identity of Hang Seng's heir, but as we all know, the "first son of the prince" and the "prince-president" also have independent titles and clothing rituals, which are regarded as Beile.

In order to show the emperor's "grace" and to Hang Seng legitimately take charge of the county prince's mansion, Su De, the chief of the Khan's mansion, and the county prince Bobei, will assist him in opening the palace.

In this way, Hang Seng’s move to the mansion will be scheduled for tomorrow.

Cao Yong tossed and turned, and it was precisely for this matter.

In the Cao family genealogy, although the name "Cao Lin" has not been cut off, it can no longer be used. From tomorrow, the name Cao Lin will become a thing of the past, and there will be a Mongolian prince "Monk" in the capital.

"Monk" means "eternal life" in Chinese. This is the Mongolian name given to Hang Seng after the emperor summoned him.

Since Hang Seng is in Beijing as the palace of the Khan, his name or behavior must be removed from the imprint of the Cao family and become a real Mongolian noble...

Time passes by, and before you know it, it is already dawn.

Cao Yong did not close his eyes all night. He knew that in order to avoid suspicion, he could not do too much for Hang Seng, but he was really worried. He was already thinking about whether he would call Cao Man and his wife after breakfast and give him a few more instructions.

This time when Hang Seng moved to the mansion, the Cao family arranged for many people to accompany him. Except for the maids in Songyuan, most of them were Hang Seng's companions to be servants. Only Cao Man and Wu Sheng and his wife were in charge.

The county prince’s mansion is a co-worker, etc., and there are customizations, mostly served by officials with grades.

Cao Yong would not interfere in this area, but he was not at ease to let Hengsheng be alone outside, so he asked him to take all the people who served him by the mansion.

Wu Sheng and his wife have always been able to handle affairs; Cao and his wife are proficient in Manchu language to facilitate the management of Mongolian slaves.

After not sleeping all night, Cao Yong's complexion was very bad, and Chu Yu also had swollen eyes.

From being raised in a baby to being so old now, her reluctance to Hang Seng is no less than that of her husband.

Seeing his wife like this, Cao Yong felt a little reluctant and advised: "The Prince An's Mansion is not far from our house. You can only use it as a place to visit others. You can go out for a few more trips in the future, and the old people in the province are detained."

Chu Yu nodded and said, "What I'm talking about..." Halfway through, she stopped and looked out the window blankly.

Cao Yong followed his wife's gaze and looked out the window.

Under the sycamore tree in the yard, a young man stood under the tree at some point.

Chu Yu felt that his eyes were hot and his tears could no longer stop and he fell down.

Cao Yong felt very nervous and sighed heavily.

Chu Yu had wiped his tears, walked a few steps, and left the room.

Lelan brought two little maids and was waiting in the corridor. Seeing this, Chu Yu couldn't help but say angrily: "Second Master is here, why don't you report?"

"Because there is no light in the room, the second master stopped him..." Le Lan replied in a low voice.

Hang Seng has come up and said, "Mother."

Chu Yu took his hand and said, "Ninety now, it's so stubborn that I'm cold. Come into the house quickly!"

Although Chu Yu is already tall among women, Hengsheng is tall and strong, and is half a head taller than her. But he is still like a child, allowing Chu Yu to lead him into the room.

After entering the room, Chu Yu put down his hand and picked up a Cao Yong cloak to put on it.

"Father, Mother." Looking at his father's haggardness and his swollen eyes, Hang Seng felt his heart was as red as a knife, and his eyes were red.

"The eagle always spreads its wings, which is a good thing. All children have time to leave their parents' wings, but you are two years ahead of others." The atmosphere was too sad, and Cao Yong felt a little uncomfortable, and he squeezed out a little smile.

Hang Seng couldn't help it, and with a "thump", he knelt down on the ground, lowered his head and cried, "If... if he grows up, he will leave his father, mother... that child will never want to grow up..."

Cao Yong stretched out his hand, stroked the top of Hang Seng's head, and said, "Silly child, I and your mother will gradually grow old. If you don't grow up, who will be filial to us? Do you really have the heart to let me worry about you with your mother for the rest of your life?"

When Heng Seng heard this, he raised his head, and the sad eyes became more determined...

Although the first two months of the first two, it was Hengsheng's turn, and the whole mansion was even more reluctant to leave.

After all, from the beginning, everyone knew that the Zuozhu brothers would one day leave the Cao family and set up their own business. However, Hang Seng was the adopted son of the Cao family who was included in the genealogy. In everyone's eyes, he was an indispensable part of the Cao family.

Everyone gathered in the Li family yard, and even the Zhaojia family in the East Mansion brought their younger generations to see them off.

Cao Yong was impatient with this parting scene and went straight to the yamen.

Hang Seng kowtowed to Li, bid farewell to all the elders and peers, and then accompanied by Tianyou, he took his servants and servants to the county prince's mansion.

Chunhua married into the Cao family for a short time and had never lived in Xifu. Not long after entering the house, she was released with her husband. She was not familiar with the younger generations in Xifu. Today, she came here and was just doing her best.

Seeing Chuyu's expression of sadness, she had to go to Wutongyuan with her to comfort her.

Zhao Jia stayed in Lanyuan and asked Li with some curiosity, saying, "Master, the eldest wife has always loved Hang Seng, no less than Tianyou and Tianbao. He would never let him take a few people over, and he would definitely buy a piece of property. I wonder how many, sister-in-law, do you know?"

Although Li was not as sad as Cao Yong and his wife, he felt uncomfortable. After hearing Zhao Jia's words, he felt even more uncomfortable and said, "It's up to him, it's all the love between father and son."

Zhao Jia hurriedly said, "Good sister-in-law, you don't care about your family. Are you confused? Now there is not only the eldest master and Xiao Qi's house. If the couple really treat their adopted son well, wouldn't they suffer a loss when Xiao Qi's family is divided in the future?"

When Li heard this, he frowned and said, "Even if the two brothers separated from each other in the future, they would still be divided into ancestral property. There is no reason to divide the private property of brothers and sister-in-law. How many ancestral property is there in this mansion, others don't know, but don't the second aunt know?"

Zhao Jia was so choked that she couldn't speak, she looked a little embarrassed, but her heart began to move. If the Changfang really split up like that, could the East Mansion be able to "fight the upper and lower", and the separation of the family would only be divided into "ancestors".

Seeing Li's expression indifferent and not guarding against his eldest son and daughter-in-law, Zhao Jia was confused again. Could it be that his sister-in-law is really selfish and does not care about her younger son?

Then she thought that she still had some private room, let alone Li.

Not to mention the other side, just talking about the rewards in the palace over the years, you can accumulate a lot.

It seems that she plans to leave it all for her youngest son, otherwise she would not be so open about her family property.

This time, she guessed wrongly.

"Is this?" Looking at the booklet in hand, as well as the whole cart of gold and jade ornaments in front of him, Hang Seng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

When he came out of Cao's mansion, the car was extremely inconspicuous. Hang Seng didn't care and thought it was packed with the luggage of the servants.

Until he entered the palace, Tianyou ordered the car to be pulled directly outside the second door.

"This is given by the old lady and has been prepared for a long time. I originally thought to give it to you when my second brother gets married, but this time it was in advance." Tianyou said: "In such a big palace, the furniture and other things in the house will be cleaned up by the Interior Department. But the decorations must be prepared by themselves. It is not always empty, like the living room and living places, there must always be a few good items to support the storefront."

The booklet is a list of these things, is it really new?

Hang Seng was stunned and speechless.

Although he respected Li from the bottom of his heart, he could not compare to his attachment to his adoptive parents. He also knew in his heart that in the old lady's heart, his position was also lower than that in the old lady. He could not compare to the eldest grandson Tianyou, the young grandson Tianbao, who was raised by the old lady, nor could he compare to the old lady's old son for immortality.

In front of the old lady, Hang Seng has always been a little more restrained, for fear that the old lady would get tired of him.

When Tianyou saw that Hengsheng didn't say anything, he said, "It's all the old lady's private rooms, but there are many good things in seriousness. The old lady really loves you. Is this so happy and stupid?"

Not only Hengsheng was surprised, but Tianyou was also surprised by this "great gift" from his grandmother.

He had already taken over his father's housekeeper and knew the situation of the warehouse.

The old lady's car of antique treasures is mostly valuable and easy to take advantage of, accounting for 20% of the old lady's private house. Even Tianyou herself had thought about how her grandmother would allocate this property and whether she would give her one, but she never dared to think about so much 20%.

After all, in addition to his father and Uncle Qi, the old lady has two married daughters.

Even if the son gets more, the one who gets assigned to his father will not exceed 40%.

In his father's name, there were four children, but the old lady directly prepared 20% of them for Hang Seng.

It seems that although the old lady is not as good as the other two grandsons in Suli, she feels pity for the weak.
