Chapter 290 Sister-in-law

Cao Yong is not a fool, he knows that Kangxi sent Wei Zhu out with him and said something to Cao Yin privately.

Just as the Sixteenth Prince went to Qingxi Bookstore, when he met Cao Yin who had come out, Cao Yong was very curious, but he was not easy to ask in front of the Sixteenth Prince, so he had to endure it.

Cao Yin knew that his son was close to the Sixteenth Prince, but he didn't say anything. He just told him to take good care of the Sixteenth Prince and not to make any mistakes.

The Sixteenth Prince was listening and said with a smile: "Don't worry, cousin, we are all old, we are not children!"

When Cao Yin heard the title of the Sixteenth Prince, he was about to say that he didn't dare, but when he saw that the Sixteenth Prince had turned around and talked and joked with Cao Yong, he didn't say anything.

When Cao Yong sent Cao Yin out of the garden, he helped his father get into the car, and sent Cao Yuan and the others back, the sixteenth prince had already led the horse out.

In addition to Zhao Feng, the Sixteenth Prince also had seven or eight guards following him. Cao Yong only left Xiaoman and Wei Hei.

The Sixteenth Prince was impatient and annoying. Except for Zhao Feng, two familiar guards, the others were sent to follow.

Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince walked side by side, talking about gossip about Shandong and the capital.

The sixteenth prince remembered something and said, "By the way, the second son of the Li family has entered Beijing. I heard someone yesterday that he was going to work as a guard. He was a man who was traveling south with his escorts. When he was staying in Suzhou, he had seen him twice. Although he looked like a smile, he couldn't get close to him."

Not to mention the Sixteenth Prince, even Cao Yong had no intention of getting close to Li Ding. Thinking about the trick of "fighting for power" in Jiangnan a few years ago, Cao Yong only found it ridiculous.

Although he is not close, he is a relative. If the Li family really fails, the Cao family will inevitably be affected. Therefore, Cao Yong is still very concerned about Li Ding. If he goes to the party to support the prince who fights for the throne, the Cao family must be prepared in advance so as not to be dragged into the water inexplicably. If he takes the initiative to make friends with the Sixteenth Prince, Cao Yong will not be afraid.

Thinking of this, he asked, "What did the Empress say? I didn't tell you to be close to the Li Cousin. Although I didn't see you many times, I think he is a smart person."

The sixteenth prince sighed and said, "I know you are a person who is afraid of trouble. I didn't want to tell you, but I was also afraid that he would be smarter and would be involved in you!"

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled. The Li family has only been in Beijing for a few days. Could it be that they are so impatient to do something in the capital?

The sixteenth prince said: "I heard that his family also learned from your family and presented the tea garden in Suzhou to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The first time Cao Yong heard about this, the Sixteenth Prince said: "He said a lot of good things about you in the Interior Office. He only said that it was a garden that was cleaned by the people you invited from your house in his early years, and said that you were extremely intelligent since childhood. After the New Year, because of winter tea, you were originally thought of by many people. He was so artificial, it seemed to prove that you had gained something from the tea garden. And some people have already speculated whether you were 'pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger'. After all, you were in Beijing before, and you were always in front of others as an honest person."

Cao Yong only felt his scalp numb. Although he knew that the Li family was in the capital, he had not seen the Li family and his son because he had arrived today. Whether Li Ding wanted to offer a garden or show his loyalty, he didn't have to stretch him out.

Seeing that he was completely unaware of it, the Sixteenth Prince said, "I heard that someone from the Ministry of Personnel recommends you. According to me, you should go back to Beijing. Otherwise, there is something wrong with us, and there are places we can't take care of."

Cao Yong was full of lawsuits. If he remembered correctly, he had only been out of Beijing for a year and a half, and he came back half a year ago. There was no such messy things, and he was there. Even if he wanted to pinch soft persimmons, he wouldn't have to find himself who was far away.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Look, I was in Beijing two years ago. Who did I offend to death?"

"Do you want to offend me to die?" The Sixteenth Prince pondered for a moment and replied, "Guo Luoluo's Guishan is one. He became a cripple, and he was taken away by the Emperor Ama, losing face. If you hadn't married the big princess later, he would have been going to do anything long ago. I just saw that you were in your holy family, so I dare not act rashly."

This Guishan is the one who had a dispute after Cao Yong entered Beijing, and Concubine Yi's nephew.

"Master Bumuba of Shuncheng County may be considered one. The summer of the previous year, he wanted to go out to take refuge, but you stopped him. Although there was no complaint later, I heard that the favored boy around him died in the epidemic. There was a rumor that he didn't know whether it was true or not, saying that the infantry lieutenant who stopped him from the city died, which was the hand and foot of the Shuncheng Prince's Mansion." The sixteenth prince continued.

Cao Yong's heart became heavier and heavier. Although he had only met one time, he had a deep impression of the infantry and military lieutenant. The middle-aged man, who was not tall, knelt down on the carriage money of the Shuncheng Palace and kowtowed in a series of times. Although he had no interactions, he could see that he was a dignified man, just for the face of the palace, and he was gone?

The sixteenth prince was also upset when he said that, waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you don't talk about these things, you can be so weird. Just know which one it is. No matter which one it is, we are not afraid of him. Although we don't like trouble, we can't bully the door. When we have some free time in a few days, we will discuss it carefully. Hehe, don't ask us to catch it, otherwise we will play with him."

Cao Yong also laughed. The Sixteenth Prince was right. He left Beijing to avoid right and wrong, but was chased and plotted against others. This was too boring. It was impolite to come but not go. For a kind-hearted man who cares about him like this, he always had to "repay his favor".

When Cao Yong and his group entered the city, it was almost Si (9 am), and pedestrians gradually moved around on the road.

The sixteenth prince smiled and said to Cao Yong: "Let's go to Liulichang. We're looking at something good there a few days ago and agreed to pick it up today."

But it happened that before Cao Yong entered Beijing, Mr. Zhuang's most precious inkstone was broken by his daughter Niu Niu. Although Mr. Zhuang was reluctant to give up his daughter, he felt really distressed and sighed for several days.

Cao Yong kept it in mind, so he thought about changing two good ones to Mr. Zhuang after entering Beijing.

Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Lanyuan.

Li sat on the kang, holding Cao Yi's hand, and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she was in good spirits, she felt relieved. Cao Yi had red eyes and couldn't speak for a long time. The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for three years.

Chu Yu hugged Wu'er next to him, and looked at the girls who came back with Cao Yi, and they were not the few who were dowrying at the time, so he felt a little uneasy. However, he couldn't say anything in front of his mother-in-law, so he had to remain silent.

Cao Yi also saw his sister-in-law looking at him with a little question, and hurriedly turned his eyes and looked like he was praying.

Seeing Cao Yi's plain clothes, Li patted her hand and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, and age, no one can avoid it, and you don't have to be too sad."

After hearing this, Cao Yi nodded gently and said, "Don't worry, my daughter is okay!" As he said that, he raised his head and said to Chu Yu, "Sister-in-law, where is Tianyou? This... is Wu'er?"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, it's Wu'er!" Then, he lowered his head and said, "Wu'er, call me, it's the third sister. Your little bracelet was given by the third sister."

Wu'er held his finger and said in a slight voice: "Three Sisters!"

Seeing that she was so heartbroken, Cao Yi hurriedly took it from Chu Yu, held it in his arms, and looked it carefully. Although it was beautiful, it was not worthy of his father at all. I think he should be like his biological mother.

She sighed in her heart and gently touched her sister's head. Compared with this sister with a miserable life, she was lucky.

Chu Yu had already called his breasts and brought Tianyou over. When Cao Yi saw his nephew, he let go of his sister. It was a little bit rare.

Tianyou is not afraid of people, he just smiles and yawns occasionally. Although Cao Yi is reluctant to let go, he feels so distressed. As soon as he wants to return his breasts to his arms, he feels wet and hot, and his nephew has been urinated.

My breasts hurriedly took Tianyou over, and Chu Yu was very embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry for my third sister. I'll let someone take my clothes on. Don't dislike me, I'll change it first."

Cao Yi touched Tianyou's little face and smiled and said to Chu Yu: "My sister-in-law is talking about heretics. Even if my sister-in-law doesn't take it, my sister-in-law will ask her about it. Where else do you say whether you dislike it or not?"

Li just smiled and said to Cao Yi: "This is the boy's pee of his nephew, which is a good sign. Since he likes children so much, when Yi'er is filial, he will give birth to one."

Cao Yi was so embarrassed that he angrily said, "Mother, my sister is still here, where can I say this?"

Li said, "She is a little older and doesn't remember anything yet, so what's there to be taboo?" Speaking of this, she also noticed the maid who came with her and asked, "Where are Chunya and the others? Why didn't she wait for you to go out?"

Cao Yi smiled and replied, "Two were released and worked in the village outside the city. Chunya and Xia Fu were helping their daughter. Today, they were in Qingming Festival and there were many sacrificial objects that needed to be prepared, so they didn't let them follow."

Li nodded and said, "Because I just entered Beijing yesterday, I was busy working hard, but I didn't notice that it was Qingming Festival." Speaking of this, I asked Chu Yu, "Have you prepared all the sacrificial objects in our mansion? Although the ancestral tomb is not on the side of the capital, the ancestral hall will also be worshipped."

Chu Yu replied: "I haven't forgotten my wife either. Sister Zijing reminded her daughter-in-law, so she can save her daughter-in-law and have already purchased it."

While speaking, Xicai had already hit Wutongyuan and took a new set of plain clothes.

Chu Yu asked his mother-in-law to take care of Wu'er and took Cao Yi to the east room to change his clothes.

When he arrived at the east room, Cao Yi sent out all the girls he followed, took Chu Yu's hand, and whispered: "Good sister-in-law, even if he loves his sister, don't let the last year go wrong in front of his mother!"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "No need for my sister to give me advice. I can save myself. Even the prince-in-law has no meaning to let the master and wife know it. After all, it is a thing of the past, and the master and wife have no need to let the master and wife worry."

Cao Yi sighed, patted his chest, and said, "Thank God! It is already unfilial to not be able to always like my parents from this far away. If the two elders worry about me again, then the sister will be a great sinner!"

Chu Yu asked seriously: "Sister, it's not that my sister-in-law talks about you, they are all close relatives. Since the master and wife can't say it, but can't say it? Why do you swallow all the grievances in your stomach? Your brother has always loved you, and I ask myself that you are so close to you. How sad we are like this!"

Cao Yi had red eyes and said, "Good sister-in-law, my sister knows that she is wrong. Think about it in the middle of winter, I'm worried that my brother and my brother have come to Beijing from afar. My sister is ashamed and will not let her brother and sister-in-law worry about her in the future."

Chu Yu nodded: "It's good to do this. After all, we are close friends. We are always your support. There is nothing to hide." Speaking of this, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chongya and the others are so angry? So, you didn't bring it back today..."

Cao Yi shook his head and replied with a blushing face: "Where did my sister-in-law want to go? My sister is telling the truth. It's Qingming Festival. There are so many things that need to be prepared at home. Although my mother-in-law allows me to come back to visit my mother, it is not easy to be a hand-off manager, so she let them take care of them at home."

Chu Yu smiled awkwardly and was very sorry: "Sister, I'm really sorry. I don't know what happened these days. I watched the maid turn around in front of me all day long, and I was thinking a lot, so I thought about it."

Cao Yi tilted his head and joked, "It seems that my sister-in-law is nervous brother. Sister-in-law, please be content. Brother is a serious person." At the end, he couldn't help but argue in a low voice: "Although he can't compare with his brother, he is not a bad person. Brother and sister-in-law don't have to underestimate him because of his sister."

Chu Yu helped her change her clothes and said, "The past is over, so my sister doesn't have to take it seriously. As long as my brother-in-law treats you well, she will naturally be a distinguished guest in our mansion. Otherwise, if you don't mention your brother or sister-in-law, you won't like him."
