Chapter 153 Rules
After passing through the second door and turning to his right, Cao Yong thought of his little bride and couldn't help but smile.
When he entered the yard, he saw two maids coming from behind the corridor. When he saw Cao Yong, he leaned over to greet him. Because the eight maids were dressed the same, Cao Yong couldn't tell who was who they were, so he waved his hand to send them up.
Hearing the footsteps outside the yard, the curtain of the door was lifted, and wasn't Chu Yu or who was smiling?
"Mr.!" Chu Yu smiled and greeted him.
Although Chunhan is cold at the moment, Cao Yong's heart is so warm. He is just not feeling emotional. He hurriedly took two steps forward: "It's so cold outside, go back to the house!" As he spoke, he held her hand and walked up the room.
Chu Yu's hand shook, and Cao Yong thought of coming back from the outside, but he was the one who was cold. He was just thinking about letting go, but his warm little hands were shaking back.
When the two entered the room, Cao Yong felt that the room was warmer than before. Zhu'er and Cui'er both came in to serve. Cao Yong changed his clothes outside, washed his face and wiped his hands.
Chu Yu arranged for someone to set up a meal, but placed the kang table in the outer room. Cao Yong walked to the side of the kang and saw that it was the two of them. He frowned slightly: "Have you sent someone back at noon? Tell you not to wait for me to have a meal. How about you being hungry until now?"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I didn't feel hungry after eating snacks at that time!"
Cao Yong touched the kang, but it was hot. He couldn't blame the house for being different from the past. He smiled and said to Chu Yu: "Why didn't you expect earlier that the kang in the outside should have burned long ago, and we can warm it up inside!"
Chu Yu did not respond, but just nodded. Cao Yong still ate early in the morning, but now he was really hungry. Seeing that Chu Yu was still standing on the ground, he went over and pushed her to the side of the kang and sat opposite him.
These dishes are different from the past. Two of them are something Cao Yong likes to eat. Cao Yong was really considerate, so he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the dishes into Chu Yu's bowl: "I have asked Amethyst? I am a man, what do you choose about these? In the future, just ask the kitchen to prepare what you like to eat."
Chu Yu remembered what Amethyst mentioned in the daytime that he would not eat anything white rice or white shredded stuff. Think about it again in the past half a month, it was not true. Even if the high-quality rice cooked in the kitchen, he often put beans in it. He avoided things like shredded chicken and bean skins. But he didn't notice this for a while, and it was really not right. She couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Seeing that she didn't pick up food, Cao Yong didn't respond. He lowered his head slightly and didn't know what he was thinking. He asked, "But I'm bored at home alone? Do you like it? If you like reading, I'll ask someone to pick up some books in the front yard study. Or just talk to Zijing, she's boring enough by herself!"
Chu Yu nodded with a smile, and ate half a bowl of dishes that Cao Yong had picked. Cao Yong knew that she had a small appetite, but thinking that she was growing, he forced her to eat half a bowl of them.
After dinner, it was getting darker and the two maids lit the lights between the inside and outside.
Because Cao Yong wanted to reply to his father, he asked someone to lit the study in the east, and said to Chu Yu, and went over and wrote to his father home.
Even if my father didn't have a letter from the past two days, Cao Yong planned to write to Jiangning. Although his parents did not ask anything about his marriage when they wrote to him a letter a few years ago, he knew that the two elders must have thought about it. He wanted to tell them that they had a gentle and well-behaved wife.
Cao Yong smiled and picked up a brush from the pen holder. A maid next to him came to serve the ink. The brush licked the ink in the inkstone, but he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. "《》", these four words suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but look up at the maid, but he was a little jealous. He was not the ones who were always serving Chu Yu.
The person who came to serve Bi Mo was Xiyu. When he saw the husband looking at her, he couldn't help but lower his head, and a layer of blush appeared on his face. When he secretly raised his eyes, he found that he was looking through the living room and looking at the bedroom to the west.
"Please come over and ask her to put on a big sweater!" Cao Yong lowered his head and wrote words on the paper, while casually giving instructions. He didn't hear any movement for a long time, so he stood up and looked at Xiyu with a slight suspicion.
The side of Xiyu is like waking up from a dream and responding.
After a while, Chu Yu came from the west room, not only obediently wearing a big cloak, but also put on his hand: "The prince-in-law called Chu Yu?"
"Yeah!" Cao Yong nodded with a smile. Seeing that two maids were following in, he ordered: "No need to leave anyone here to serve you, you can go down!"
Chu Yu put the cloak on Cao Yong, and Cao Yong raised the pen in his hand: "My father wrote a letter, and his mother was very worried about our marriage. She couldn't come here, but she was sad. As a daughter-in-law, you also wrote a few words to greet her parents-in-law."
Chu Yu nodded happily, and when she saw Cao Yong holding a pen, she took the ink beside the inkstone to grind it. Where did she do this? Although she was careful, ink still splashed out. She felt a little uneasy and annoyed, and looked up at Cao Yong.
However, Cao Yong was mentioning Chu Yu's character and appearance to his parents, but he didn't pay attention to her. When he went to dip ink, Fang found that Chu Yu's hand was splashed with two large drops of ink stains. He put down his brush and picked up a piece of rice paper to wipe it for her, but he still left a faint ink mark.
Cao Yong asked, "Is this going to wash first, or write a letter first?"
Chu Yu just said nothing.
Cao Yong felt something was wrong, and looked over and saw that although she was restrained, her eyes were red.
Cao Yong couldn't help but ask Mei: "What's wrong? But I miss the other end of the palace again, do you miss your mother?"
Listening to Cao Yong's concerning words, Chu Yu could no longer control himself. He lowered his head and nodded, and tears fell down his head.
Cao Yong sighed in his heart. Although he looked like an adult, he was a child. He pulled her over and wiped her tears while shouting loudly: "Is Xiyun here?" Because Xiyun, Xicai often served Chuyu, so he remembered their names.
Xiyun came over and saw the prince hugging the princess, and hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look.
Cao Yong said, "Send me to the second gate and ask the front yard to prepare the carriage, and I will use it immediately."
Xiyun left, but Chu Yu couldn't help but hold Cao Yong's sleeve: "Your Majesty is going out?"
Cao Yong wrapped her in his arms: "Let's go out together! Don't you think about the other end of the palace? Although we can't go in, it's good to take a look outside! And bear it, it's been half a month, just bear it for this month!"
Although Cao Yong wanted to take Chu Yu to the Princess's Mansion with him, he also knew that Manchu should pay the most attention to the rules, which would only make Chu Yu and the concubine embarrassed, so he came up with this compromise.
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, reached out to hug Cao Yong, and shook his head in his arms: "Don't bother them... Chu Yu is thinking of the prince!" The more he spoke, the lower his voice. If Cao Yong hadn't paid attention, he would have almost missed it.
Cao Yong's arm holding her could not help but tighten, bringing the two closer together: "I miss you very much too!"
However, the letter was not in a hurry to write this trouble. Cao Yong led Chu Yu out of the study room, passed the living room, and wanted to go back to the bedroom. In the west outside, Madam Ye was sitting on a chair and whispering to Xiyu. When she saw Cao Yong and Chu Yu coming in, she quickly got up to salute.
Chu Yu was so embarrassed that he just lowered his head and did not avoid it as before.
Cao Yong nodded to Madam Ye, and then said to Xiyu: "Tell Xiyun, just say I won't leave. Please send her another door to say something, and prepare a pot of tea to the upper room." After that, he said to Madam Ye: "It's late, Madam will go down to settle it too!"
Madam Ye looked at the two of them holding hands, sighed in her heart, but she didn't move. She smiled and said, "Mr., it's inconvenient for the princess today, so I have to ask you to rest outside!" As she said, she said to the maid next to her, "Why don't you go and bring tea quickly, and then wait for the Princess to settle!"
Xiyu agreed and lowered her head and stepped back.
Chu Yu's body trembled, but Cao Yong's expression became cold, and he looked at Madam Ye without saying anything.
Madam Ye was discomfortably seen and said with a smile: "I know that the prince is pitying the prince, I must understand these rules!"
Cao Yong ignored her and led Chu Yu to the bedroom. Madam Ye hurriedly called out: "Mr., this is not in line with the rules!"
Cao Yong was originally unwilling to give her shamelessness in front of Chu Yu, but now he couldn't help it and turned around and shouted, "Whose rules? When you get to this mansion, you have to follow my rules!"
Thinking of Chu Yu's discomfort, those who were waiting around him not only did not take care of her, but also thorned her eyes. Cao Yong was really annoyed. Seeing that Madam Ye wanted to say something again, he scolded: "Go out!"
Madam Ye originally thought that the prince had a good temper, but she had never seen him coldly these days. She never thought that she would be so fierce. She was so scared that she retreated.
Xiyun and Xiyu happened to come back together. When Cao Yong saw that they were the one who had just talked to Madam Ye, he frowned and said to Xiyun: "I am impatient and annoying. When I am here, I will only allow you and Xicai, Zhuer, and Huaner to come in!" After that, he didn't look at them and took Chu Yu in.
When he returned to the room, Cao Yong let Chu Yu go. Chu Yu was upset because of him and was uneasy. Cao Yong thought about her appearance in the study while eating, and was sure that he was unwilling to make such arrangements. He felt soft and couldn't bear to blame her, but he still had to say something clearly.
That night, the couple said a lot of whispers, but there was no way to know the content. But the next day, Chu Yu returned to his usual cheerful appearance and also asked someone to burn the kang outside. The prince said it was right, and the house was indeed much warmer.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Prince Ping came to Cao's mansion to report the letter, saying that at the 11th hour (7 pm), Concubine Chen in the palace gave birth to a prince.
In the past, when she got the prince and the daughter of the palace, there were rough rules for the other three-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-basin-bas
When Amethyst learned that Chen Guiren was pregnant in September last year, he ordered a gift. He immediately found the gift list for the old year and asked about the rules and regulations of Prince Chuyu's mansion. The two discussed and prepared a list.
After Cao Yong returned to his residence that night, Chu Yu took the order to check it out and asked him if he wanted to add or reduce it.
Cao Yong was holding the list and thinking about the new 21st son of the emperor, he was a little amused. Speaking of which, his relationship with Kangxi's family was really chaotic. This Concubine Chen was his cousin, but he was from Chu Yu's grandmother. From his own perspective, he was called "nephew" of this child, but from Chu Yu's side, he was called "uncle".
When Chu Yu saw Cao Yong's expression strange, he also said that the etiquette list was a bit inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "If it seems inappropriate, Chu Yu will plan it again."
Cao Yong said: "There is nothing wrong with the order. Do you have drafted it yourself or discussed it with Amethyst? It turns out that the courtesy of Amethyst is all handled by Amethyst. Please ask her more."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I have discussed it with Sister Amethyst."
Cao Yong nodded and said casually: "Well. Then send it to Prince Ping's Mansion!"
Chu Yu was stunned and said for a while: "Chu Yu, will you enter the palace with your sister?"
Cao Yong forgot about this: "I forgot it. It turned out that these were all sent to the palace by Prince Laoping's Mansion. You can just send them to the palace from now on. Go and ask your sister, and it's better to enter the palace with her."
Chu Yu nodded in response with a smile.

In the past few days, the court has been talking about the new emperor's twenty-one son. He was five years apart from the birth of the emperor's twenty-sen sons. Everyone was speculating on the emperor's joy and whether the emperor's Concubine Chen could advance and whether the Chen family could advance.
The Ministry of Revenue is naturally filled with these remarks.
Cao Yong had no interest in analyzing these things, and because he had a relationship with the royal family and the Chen family, he was not easy to discuss this issue, so he just listened to everyone's discussion and ignored it.
Fu Xiangong also gained the position of the chief official with many years of experience, and he looked down on those who were in high positions due to nepotism. Because he was straightforward, he interjected a few words when he listened to a few posts and chatted, and there was a lot of sarcasm in his words.
In fact, no one here knew that the Chen family and the Cao family were related, but there were many people in the pen and post. A man named Cha De saw Cao Yong's face embarrassed and hurriedly stabbed Fu Xiangong quietly.
Fu Xiangong was not a fool, so he remembered that Cao Yong was also considered to be due to the relationship between powerful and powerful. He was the first to get along with Cao Yong. Because he thought Cao Yong was diligent, quick to do things, and kind, he ignored his prominent identity and background. He suddenly remembered this and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The words he cursed the Chen family just now brought Cao Yong to him.
Although Fu Xiangong had reacted, he didn't know what to do for a moment. If he apologized, he felt that he had said nothing wrong and was somewhat reluctant to give up. Besides, if he really wanted to apologize, he really scolded Cao Yong for being a waiter, but it was obviously not appropriate to continue this topic. How could he pass by without any silence? He was in a difficult situation.
Chade was quite clever, and saw this and hurriedly took the one-page account he had just made, and gave it to Cao Yong for review. He also told him a few more questions about the accounts, and then he finished his words.
Cao Yongyuan was not embarrassed because Fu Xiangong had allused himself. He had no feelings about being a powerful child, and he didn't pay attention to this when he was a errand. It was just because he was a relative of the Chen family. After hearing Fu Xiangong demoted the Chen family, he was not so comfortable.
Cao Yong also saw Fu Xiangong's embarrassing expression afterwards, but he couldn't say anything, so he was naturally unhappy to observe the virtues and smooth things over, so he followed suit and discussed the issues.
Fu Xiangong looked at Cao Yong's normal expression and then felt relieved. It was not the first day that he had known Cao Yong, and he knew about Cao Yong's temper. He didn't expect that he would blame him, so he smiled and talked about the accounts.
Several people were discussing, when Peng Zhu came in from outside, and when he entered the door, he asked Fu Xiangong with a smile: "Is the account right? I have to wait for the account to come out to allocate grain to provide disaster relief!"
Because he was responsible for part of the grain relief affairs in the five cities, the matter of allocating grain to Fujian was correct when asked.
Fu Xiangong frowned and said, "Where is there a way to finish it so quickly? Why is it that I have issued an imperial edict to allocate food?"
Peng Zhu was familiar with everyone, and he was not polite, so he pulled a stool and sat down, saying, "The imperial edict has not been issued, but it is already planned. He is going to plan to allocate grain based on the accounts you finally checked out of the loss."
"I'm already rushing to do it." Cao Yongqi said, "So they all allocated food first, it was in November last year, right? Besides, the pirates robbed food this time were the same as the New Year. I'm still waiting for the accounts to come out and allocate food. Can the people bear it?"
Peng Zhu said: "Sir, I don't know. The Jiangnan Department has started checking the accounts again. It's probably not going to adjust the food from Jiangnan! Maybe it's Huguang. I heard that the rain in Huguang last year was not good, so I don't know if there was not much food, so I have to look at the accounts first and then allocate the food."
Cao Yong nodded and asked again: "The former chief official said that the Jiangnan Department should check military salaries and also check food and grass?"
Peng Zhu smiled mysteriously, put his head over and whispered: "It's not just food and grass, but also under the command of the Governor of the Valley Transport."
Cao Yong's face was silent, but he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. This Kali was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. What exactly did he want to do? It caused a mess of troubled water in the officialdom in Jiangnan.
Shi Dejin, the most unobstructed pen letter among the few people, interrupted, and said, "It's just a matter in the account. I'll have to be faked. How big can I do this disaster relief article? Why is it so troublesome to transfer grain from Huguang!"
Peng Zhu snorted: "Who said it was no? It's so troublesome. The superiors don't believe this. Look, the superiors want to investigate thoroughly? Who knows!"
Fu Xiangong smiled and said to Peng Zhu: "You kid are not afraid of the trouble of adjusting food, but you think Tu Ming'an from Huguang Department is not easy to share with you!"
