Chapter 355: Articles of Association (Part 1)

The next day, Cao Yong came out of the Taipu Temple Yamen and accompanied Li Nai to the Lubohe Mansion on the north small street in Chaoyangmen.

The wedding date was originally scheduled for October 28th. If Li Ding had not disappeared, today is the time for the woman to give her makeup.

When encountering such an unlucky thing, anyone who is angry would be unhappy, but there is no way. Li Ding's disappearance has been reported to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and the Infantry Tutor Yamen. Judging from the current situation, Li Ding is probably plotted against.

The Li family is already in a state of turmoil, and they can't force it too much. In Lubohe's mind, he even hopes that Li Ding will die like this, and his granddaughter will be more decent than "escape from marriage" or "retreatment from marriage".

Thinking of that, if he had a long tongue, he would say that their granddaughter would be defeated by his husband. After thinking about it, the old man didn't know whether he should hope that Li Ding would live or die.

Although the granddaughter has not married into the Li family, the big and small dad have passed. If Li Dingzhen reports the news of his death, the granddaughter will have to be filial for three years for morality.

Rubehe gritted his teeth and finally said the words of quitting the marriage. At this point, we cannot blame them for the treason of the Fucha family. After all, the granddaughter has not eaten his Li family's tea yet, so why should he keep mourning for his family?

Li Nai was very sad when he heard this, and he couldn't help but plead for a few more words. He said that he would let the Fucha family give him some time. If he had not found his brother's whereabouts, he would withdraw from the marriage as Luberh said.

Lu Bohe was a military officer and spoke more straightforwardly. Although he did not mean to curse Li Ding, he cared about his granddaughter even more and expressed his concerns.

Li Nai did not dare to be conscientious and said, "In a few days, my father will go north. Please see, sir..."

Lu Bohe said cruelly: "When Lingzun arrives in the capital, I will personally apologize to him. The eldest son, my granddaughter is a person with little fortune, but I can't really reach the noble mansion!"

At this point, what else could Li Nai say? But he also knew that Rubech was concerned about it. Nowadays, ethics are the priority and are particularly harsh on women.

If the younger brother had a real accident, Miss Fucha would still be mourning even though she had not married into the Li family. Even if she said anything, her treatment was different from that of her daughter. If she retired from the marriage, she would not delay her youth. In the future, she would be relieved of some verbal fatigue.

Cao Yong was by his side and never talked too much. After all, it was a marriage between two surnames, so he, a foreign surname, couldn't say anything. In his heart, he still quite agreed with Rubech's proposal to withdraw from the marriage.

The lady who was engaged to the Fucha family and Li Ding was an innocent person. It was a great charity to avoid harm to the minimum.

After leaving the Fucha family's gate, Li Nai sighed and looked very depressed.

Although he knew that they were all useless, Cao Yong still accompanied him to run through the Infantry General Office, the Interior Government Office, the Shuntian Office, and the Shuntian Office. Until the sunset, the two of them were still at a loss.

Cao Yong originally wanted to arrange to invite Li Nai to drink to welcome him. However, Li Nai was really not in that mood, and he was exhausted for half a day, so he politely declined Cao Yong's kindness.

The two of them left outside Shuntian Mansion and went to their own homes.

When he returned to the mansion, Cao Yong and Mr. Zhuang said a few words and went back to Wutongyuan.

After entering the room, Cao Yong saw Chu Yu sitting by the kang, pushing the cart, with a strange look. Seeing Cao Yong coming back, Chu Yu hurriedly got up and waited for him to change his clothes.

Because Cao Yi was pregnant, he sent a letter to Cao's mansion. Today, Chu Yu went to Jueluo Mansion to visit his sister-in-law. Cao Yong had to accompany Li Nai in recent days and said that he would go and see him in a few days.

Cao Yong ran to many places in the afternoon and felt his body stiff. After changing his clothes, he stretched out his arms and stretched his waist vigorously.

When Chu Yu saw that he was tired, he said, "Sit by the kang, Chu Yu will help you pinch it!"

Cao Yong smiled and shook his head and said, "What's the use of your little hand? The rice is not useful yet. Call someone to bring food!"

Because Cao Yong came back to eat yesterday, Chu Yu had already ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal and warm it.

After a while, Xi Cai brought someone to carry the food box, and Xi Yun brought the little maid to set up the kang table and put the food on the cloth.

Cao Yong sat cross-legged at the table. Seeing two sets of bowls and chopsticks, he asked, "Didn't you eat tonight?"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "I wasn't hungry at that time, so I ate two bites of egg custard, but now I'm a little hungry!"

Because Chu Yu was in the mansion all day long, he didn't move much and his appetite was not good. He only had half a small bowl of each meal.

There are four side dishes, two meat-based and two vegetable dishes, one is jar chicken, one is braised catfish; two vegetarian dishes, one is Chinese toon beans, and the other is mixed with kelp.

Cao Yong picked up a dish for Chu Yu and said, "No matter whether you have a good appetite or not, you have to eat a few bites when you order. In the future, when the meal is served, I will try my best to come back. If I have something to delay outside and can't come back, if you eat alone, it's not sweet, just invite Tian or Amethyst to come."

Chu Yu nodded with a smile. Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks on the meat and vegetables, he was a little worried. He said with some concern: "It's so hard for the prince to be a servant, and he's busy all day long, how can he survive by eating a vegetarian body?"

Cao Yong ate a bowl of red bean rice with kelp shredded kelp and Chinese toon beans, and then served a bowl of them.

Seeing that Chu Yu was worried about this, Cao Yong smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm just impatient to eat these. Speaking of which, it's time to start winter moon, and I'm still thinking about the roe deer meat in the Northeast!" When he said this, he swept the catfish and couldn't help but frown slightly, "It's okay, for my example in the future, this fish will be spared first!"

He has not eaten meat these days, and now he doesn't even eat fish. Although Chu Yu responded, he felt a little worried.

Although she had heard that the prince had lived in the temple for three years, she didn't take it seriously at the beginning. Because he looked at it on weekdays, he didn't want to respect the appearance of gods and Buddhas. He had just been to the temple several times, but he just accompanied her with Amethyst.

Cao Yong was eating sweetly. He looked up and saw Chu Yu looking at him with a slap. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, I haven't seen you for a day, I miss me?"

Chu Yu looked at Xiyun who was serving on the ground, and Xicai glanced at Cao Yong and said angrily: "Mr...."

Cao Yong knew that her face was tender, and he stopped laughing at her in front of Xiyun and the others.

After persuaded Chu Yu to take a few more bites, Cao Yong finished eating himself and put down his chopsticks.

Xiyun and Xicai came up with tea. Cao Yong and Chuyu rinsed their mouths and sat sideways, asking them to remove the table.

Thinking of his wife going to Jueluo Mansion in the daytime, Cao Yong asked, "How is Ping'er looking, is she looking okay?"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "The third sister is all good. My in-laws chose a nanny who can take care of pregnant women and take care of her carefully. Because the previous few months were tight, my in-laws looked like something, and she didn't even let her sister carry the cup!"

The Jueluo family has only one son, and Seshtu is in his twenties. Cao Yong can understand the old lady's anxious feeling of holding her grandson.

After hearing this, Cao Yong smiled and said to Chu Yu, "In two days, I will rest and take my second brother and the others to see her!" After saying this, he thought about it and said, "You are fine in the mansion. It's better to accompany your third sister more. If you want to go back there, you can go back. Although it's winter, it's not easy to stay in the house all day. Look at you, you're getting more and more troublesome now!"

When Chu Yu heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Er's son-in-law, others are afraid that women will visit each other, so why does Er's son-in-law urge Chu Yu to go for a walk?"

"You're not afraid that you will get sick because your house has few housework and you don't have a living all day!" Cao Yong said with a little distress: "It's really not possible. You can invite second aunt, Aunt Qiu and others to play dominoes, so as not to be bored alone in the house!"

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "I know that my husband really feels sorry for me, but the ups and downs are effective. The nights are long in winter and some people are thinking about gambling, but our mansion is strict and we are not allowed to start in the mansion. If the mansion plays above, the servants will not be able to control it!"

When Cao Yong heard her mentioning housework, he remembered the gossip about "private children" I heard last time, and frowned and said to Chu Yu: "There are some gossips in the mansion. I don't know if you have heard them. In addition to Tianyou, he also brought them to Tian's side. After all, they are people in the mansion. Maybe they just don't want to speculate, but if they spread rumors outside, they will make people feel like they have a nose and eyes. For the bad reputation of Tian and the children, you should think of a way to take care of them!"

Chu Yu was a little surprised when she heard Cao Yong mention this. Although she knew a little about these gossips, she didn't expect them to reach Cao Yong's ears and said embarrassedly: "But the second brother said to you? Yesterday Xiyun also heard it and told me to Sister Amethyst. Because the second wife beat the person who brought the south side, it was really difficult to punish him severely. After discussing with Sister Amethyst, I signed a charter today. If there is someone who privately talks about the master, if the first time is to commit the gossip, the first time will be fined three months; if the second time is to be fined one month; if the third time is to be fined one month, the third time will be fined and the monthly order will be completely stopped. If the third time is not mentioned, the monthly order of the fined two times will not be kept in the account, and will be rewarded to those who report and expose it. Even if the third time is exposed, there will be a reward of two taels of silver."

Speaking of this, she looked at Cao Yong carefully, knowing that he had always been kind to the people. She was afraid that he would be upset and said, "It's really impossible. The old people in our house are fine. If they want to be beaten and punished, they are all sent. After all, the new ones in the south are in the neighborhood. If they are beaten, they will seem disrespectful to the second wife. Now, this new constitution has been established, whether it is the old people in the capital or the new ones in the south, they will treat everyone equally, and they will not make any mistakes!"

Not to mention others, Zhang, the mother of Zhaojia, is famous for her nagging. When Cao Yong thought of her, he couldn't help but shake his head. Even when he saw himself, she would rely on her seniority to make a few words; when he met Cao Song and his brothers, he would just be nagging endlessly.

Chu Yu just thought he said the matter was handled inappropriately and said, "Since the prince thinks it is inappropriate, is there any other way?"

Cao Yong smiled and said, "What's wrong? It's so tight! You have made the charter with Amethyst and live in this mansion. Do you have to divide the old and new people into this mansion? Although the servants around Second Aunt are not easy to discipline, we can't be so relaxed that the rules in the mansion are messed up. Since we are all based on the monthly rules on the books, we must abide by the rules in the mansion."

When Chu Yu saw him saying yes, he felt like he had eaten honey in his heart and had a smile on his face.

Peony Garden, upper room.

Zhao Jia sat on the kang and looked at the maid standing on the ground with a pale face. Seeing her annoyed, Madam Zhang wanted to persuade her, but thought that she couldn't pick it up, so she didn't speak awkwardly.

Zhao Jia looked cold and sneered: "You really gave me a face! This inner house has 50 or 60 people. Why do the servants in other people's yards know the rules? You are just a lie to the master!"

The more she spoke, the more annoyed she became. She said directly to the deacons who were standing in the front row: "You guys have always seen the rules in the past, but why did they become rude when they arrived in the north? I just said shyly to my grandma a few days ago that I would help you arrange errands, and you would have caused such a thing!" At this point, I was so angry that I was trembling all over.

Everyone dared not speak, and they all winked at Madam Zhang with their eyes.

Madam Zhang smiled and stepped forward and said, "Madam, don't be upset. Everyone has always been used to being in the south. I don't know that there are taboos in the north mansion. Big grandma is just using her to show off her power. Let's be careful in the future and not let her pick the wrong one!"
