Chapter seven hundred and ninety third worry(1/2)
Chapter 793 Worry
On the eighth day of the fifth month, it is not necessary to start the earth, and open the door; it is suitable to go up to the beam and marry.
Outside the gate of Cao's mansion, two strings of red lanterns were hung, reflecting the ground red. In the air, there was the smell of firecrackers. Today is the day when Cao Xiang got married.
The wedding tent had been set up long ago. From the sixth day of the lunar month, the Cao family east and west governments have been buying and entertaining guests.
Cao Yin changed into a new blue dress and was much more energetic. When the bride entered the door, the nephews of the second wife completed the family's grandfather's affairs, and after he died, he could meet his underground brothers.
Cao Xiang went to welcome him in person, Cao Song accompanied Cao Yin to the Anche, and Cao Yong took Cao Feng to pick up the guests at the door.
Cao Yong felt a little surprised. Not to mention what kind of person the bride's father was, he said that the bride was younger than when Chu Yu passed by, and was 14 years old and less than thirteen years old.
Cao Yong originally thought his father would find a way to leave the family, but he didn't expect that he would recognize him. Then Cao Yin retired, and Cao Xiang was in danger in Henan and it was time for Cao Xiang to get married.
Seeing that his cousin was in poor spirits, Cao Feng stepped forward and whispered: "Are you tired? Otherwise, you should go to the doorman to rest first and have some time to come back from the sedan."
Cao Yong turned his head and saw that Cao Feng's face was unconscious and said, "I'm fine, but Xiao Wu, can you still stand it if you are busy for a few days?"
Because Cao Yong and Cao Song both have to work on the job, they have been in charge of related matters these days, but Cao Fu, the youngest, has tried his best to do the most.
Cao Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, it's mostly because the butlers act, I'm just a name." Speaking of this, he looked back at the yard and said: "It's because my uncle and uncle are old, and my elder brother should persuade him more. If you are really tired of elders, we are unfilial."
He was only seventeen years old and now he was like a little adult, which made Cao Yong sigh.
At this moment, the manager will be rewarded quickly. The bride has already gotten into the sedan chair and will be here in two quarters of an hour...
After a while, the inner court of the East Mansion also received news.
Zhaojia and Li are both dressed in formal clothes, and Chuyu is also covered in pearls and jade, and is more gorgeous than usual.
When Tanhualang got married, there were many classmates from the Imperial College who were formerly from the Imperial College, and there were also Jinshi on the same list this year. The top scorer and second scorer were both here, which attracted many people's attention. Even the female guests in the backyard were "top scorer" one by one.
Before Cao Xiang's wedding, Zhao Jia could not bear the instigation of the female family. He said that he came to greet everyone. Among the visitors, there were several senior elders, so it was appropriate to pay their respects.
Seeing Cao Xiang's appearance and the 18-year-old top scholar, everyone praised him. Even the cousins of Zhaojia couldn't help but complain privately that Zhaojia shouldn't have been in a marriage early.
If we hadn't gotten married early and had a more kinship, it wouldn't be more considerate than marrying a princess from the general's mansion.
Although they were all good things, Zhao Jia also listened with a smile, but she felt a little proud. Fortunately, she married Cao Xiang early, and a idle general of the royal family, who had no power except for his wealthier family.
It is true that the eldest daughter-in-law is from a high family, but as an orphan, she has no father's family to rely on, which is of no use to her husband's career. Although the youngest daughter-in-law and uncle are many brothers in the family, they are in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and are slaves in the eyes of noble people. If the concubine's wife married and overwhelmed these two daughters-in-law, Zhao Jia will not tolerate it.
On such a happy day today, the few married aunts of the Cao family naturally have to come back to support him. Cao Jia's status is limited and it is difficult to leave the house at will, so he just sent someone to give him a gift. Cao Ying and Cao Yi came here early.
Cao Ying was talking with several relatives of Zhaojia's family, while Cao Yi sat next to Li, listening to Li talking to several old ladies.
There were many people in the room and many people serving him. The smell of oil and rouge made Cao Yi unable to sit still. She quietly said to Li: "Madam, while the sedan chair has not arrived, I will go and see my second brother and sister."
Li patted her hand and whispered: "Go, tell your sister-in-law not to worry about the outside world anymore. Eight months are the most critical time, keep quiet."
Cao Yi responded, got up and complained to everyone, and came out.
As soon as we arrived at the door, we saw a big maid wearing gold and silver leading her breasts to hold Tianhu, and Tianyang and the tide came over. Seeing Cao Yi, everyone leaned over and said "Auntie".
When Cao Yi saw Tianhu and Tianyang, she frowned slightly. She returned to Cao Mansion East Mansion for a limited number of times. Seeing that the maid looked familiar, she said, "Are you the second wife serving you? What's your name?"
The maid leaned over and replied, "Reply to the third aunt, my maid is Hongmei, and I will serve this lady."
While talking, a young woman was walking quickly from a distance. It wasn't a green chrysanthemum, which one was it?
She didn't see Cao Yi at first, so she rushed to Hongmei and said anxiously: "Miss Hongmei, the fourth young master felt a little uncomfortable after a while. She also asked the girl to say to her wife, don't let him meet guests today..."
Tianyang heard her voice and had already opened his hand from his breasts and called out: "Auntie, Auntie..."
Hongmei had already raised her face and said, "What did my aunt say? Will the wife harm the fourth young master? I came here on orders, so what did my aunt ask her to tell her?"
Cao Yi was beside him, and he was upset when he saw the messy and dissatisfied. Seeing Hongmei's frivolous appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and snorted coldly.
Lu Ju then looked at Cao Yi. Seeing that she looked at her with a bad expression, she became a little afraid of this aunt. She forced herself to lean down and said, "I'll ask my aunt for peace."
Cao Yi said lightly: "What day are you going to stay in your own room today, why are you going to do it?"
Although Cao Yi was unwilling to marry the general's mansion, his married daughter could not take care of the family. However, because she thought she was her future brother and sister-in-law, Cao Yi was quite careful about Princess Chunhua in the past two years. She was a little immature, but she had a good temperament. She looked like a lucky person, but she was much better than her aunt.
Cao Xiang took a concubine before marrying his wife, which was already a mistake; he gave birth to his eldest son in advance, and then the couple would have a grudge.
Cao Yi, a sister, pity Cao Xiang, his half-brother, so he naturally hopes that he will be good and does not want him to suffer in the future.
In addition, Lu Ju is the maid around Zhao Jia, who is not much older than Cao Xiang. In Cao Yi's eyes, Lu Ju becomes restless and leads her master.
Although Cao Yi's voice was not harsh, it also made her heart tremble when she fell into Lu Ju's ears. She was not a fool, so she naturally understood what Cao Yi meant. Today is Cao Xiang's happy day, and there is no room for her concubine to come out to see people.
She was full of sorrow, but she held it down and said, "Auntie, I dare not overcome it. I really didn't expect that my wife would ask someone to pick up the fourth young master, so she lost her sense of duty..."
When Cao Yi heard this, he looked at her.
Yes, today, although Lu Ju is not good for people to appear in front of others, Tianyang, the concubine son, is not good for carrying him to his relatives. Isn’t this shameless for the bride?
After Cao Yi looked at Tianyang and looked at Tianhu, he could only blame Zhao Jia for being confused. On the happy day, he carried his posthumous son to his relatives and asked everyone to say anything.
Cao Yi thought for a while and said to Hongmei: "Take the girl to see your wife. I quietly replied to your wife, and said that the two young masters would follow me to the East Cross Courtyard."
Hongmei hesitated, but she did not dare to go against Cao Yi's orders. She responded awkwardly and took the tide into the yard.
When Lu Ju saw Hongmei leaving, she felt relieved and heard Cao Yi say, "You are older than the Fourth Master, so you should persuade him well in the future. Don't forget to abide by your duty. It is serious to serve the Fourth Master and the Fourth Grandma."
Lu Ju replied in a low voice, and Cao Yi took everyone to the east to cross the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Su Xin came out of the upper room with his maid. Cao Yi hesitated for a moment, called her aside, and whispered: "The second wife is a little unrestrained. The eldest wife and the eldest grandma are in the same room, and it is difficult to talk to. As a wife, you should be a little bit dependent. If you can persuade her, please persuade her. If you can't persuade her, please don't let people laugh at her."
Su Xin was confused when she heard this, and saw her breasts carrying Tiangu and Tianyang out, and she was still confused.
After Cao Yi finished speaking, he brought the people into the room. Su Xin left a woman who followed him and asked in a low voice.
After the Cao family split, although Cao Yi had been to the East Mansion, he was mostly just a formality and rarely had so many words. Sitting next to Jinghui's bed, she felt a little funny. She was too idle, but she was very at ease.
The room was full of medicine. When Cao Yi showed his face in front of Jinghui, he sent his breasts to carry Tianhu and Tianyang back.
Jinghui was about to get up, but Cao Yi held it down: "You should rest, my wife just asked you to rest with peace of mind. I just came to you to avoid purity because I was idle with so many people in the house over there, so I came to you to avoid peace."
Jinghui felt quite guilty. Being sick at this time was not a mess.
Cao Yi looked at her expression and comforted her: "Who doesn't know that this mansion is entirely up to you. Now I am tired to help my brother-in-law organize a marriage. Who would blame you? Just take a vacation, have a good rest, and give birth to a brother, which is a great blessing."
As the two were talking, a little maid came to report that the sedan chair had already reached the entrance of the alley, and the wife asked her aunt to go back...
That night, Cao Yin got drunk and pulled Li's hand in the middle of the night, saying, "This life is over."
Li was both angry and funny and pushed Cao Yin and said, "The master only has a nephew in his eyes, and he forgot about immortality..."
Cao Yin closed his eyes and said, "Xiao Qi's marriage is his brother's business..."
That night, Cao Yong quietly said to Chu Yu: "The bride is really younger."
Chu Yu felt a little sad: "It's the age of Flower Bubble... My husband, am I old..."
Cao Yong was speechless when he heard this. Chu Yu was twenty-three years old, and in his later generations he was just a newly graduated college student. Now, as the mother of two children, he actually felt that his youth was no longer there.
"What are you saying? I'm two years older than you. Could it be that my wife dislikes me..." Cao Yong angrily, the quilt was full of lingering.
That night, Zhao Jia lay on the kang and ate several bags of cigarettes, which made the smoke in the room linger.
Hongmei was lying on the ground, exhausted and still stubborn. She was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she pinched her thighs twice. In a daze, she heard Zhao Jia say, "She loves to worry. Humph, now I know who is the brother and no longer climbs to the top..."
That night, Lu Ju heard the slight snoring from the maid on the night, got up and walked to the window, looked at the lights in the upper room, and stood until dawn. Her heart was like a knife cut, but she didn't shed a single tear. It was not that she had no tears, and she didn't dare to cry. She was in this position and was not qualified to say "worry". If she had something wrong with her, there would be no place for her mother and son to stand in the mansion.
That night, Baodie guarded the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and sat all night, secretly praying that the bride had a good temper. No one knew her son than her mother. Although her son followed the instructions of the family and married his wife, he was not a loving person and would not bear to let Lu Ju and his daughter be wronged. It would be fine if the bride was a tolerant person, and the family would live a harmonious life; otherwise, she would not know what to do.
That night, enduring shyness and pain, Chunhua became the bride of the Cao family from the princess of the general's mansion...
The next day, the bride followed Cao Xiang to visit the ancestral hall.
Sun Jue and his wife and Seshtu are all here. Chunhua is tall and looks older than the children of the same age. However, when he speaks, he is still a little immature and very adorable.
Not to mention Li and Chu Yu, even Cao Yong was quite satisfied when he met him. Although he looked more immature, he acted properly, with a round face, which was quite cute and silly. No wonder Cao Yi praised him a few times in private. Compared to those arrogant Manchu princesses, Chunhua is also quite good.
Not to mention how the 14-year-old bride accepts the tea from her husband's concubine and how to prepare a meeting ceremony for her concubine's son. After Cao Yong finished the family's wedding, he began to focus on helping the 16th prince plan the banking matter.
There are not many days left before the time for purchasing shares stated in the post, and the Sixteenth Prince is so busy that he cannot see anyone all day. Today, this royal mansion is invited to the palace, and tomorrow that Beile mansion is invited to the government, so it is naturally a matter of "bank".
The Sixteenth Prince is the most sleek. He wants these people to pay for money, but he doesn’t want to recite it all by himself. He makes the words confusing and fools everyone into a daze.
The last time the relationship between the royal family was the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' redeem gold. After two attempts, they obtained 30% of the profit after excluding all expenses. This time, the bank made even more trouble, and it was another twenty years of profit. Who wouldn't be moved?
Even if you are moved, not every royal family is rich. There are many people who can earn money and earn money.
In addition to finding out the details, there are some people who want to get a name and then slowly raise money.
For such a family, the Sixteenth Prince can only act helplessly, and he is really helpless.
In this capital, there are more than ten princes, more than ten princes, Beile, dozens of Beizi, Duke, and nearly a hundred generals. The shares of this bank are limited and there is no enough to divide them. Where can I find them on credit?
If you can't raise money, you can only wait first. In the future, if the Office of the Interior has other chores, it will be the same if you mix it up.
Not to mention anything else, there was a lot of noise on the Ninth Prince's side. I heard that he had raised a lot of money, and Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince had made a special discussion on this matter. I don't know how courageous the Ninth Prince would be.
Not to mention others, it is the fifth prince, the eighth prince and the tenth prince, and the ninth prince, and the ninth prince can invest and collect six shares. The other generals in the royal family, Beizi, and the ninth prince, can borrow two more names, and they can get some more together.
No matter how much it is, the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong both disliked too much. They were just a little worried that if the Ninth Prince was too concerned in the bank, they would interfere in the affairs here.
After all, he is the prince's honor. In the comments posted by the Sixteenth Prince, the Ninth Prince and Yaerjiang A were co-organized. If the Ninth Prince wants to intervene, it will be legitimate.
"If Brother Ninth is smart, he would not interfere directly. If it involves the Ministry of Internal Affairs and so many royal families, if it is a little bit of a mistake, he will not please him inside and outside, so he might as well wait for the dividends." The Sixteenth Prince said after pondering for a long time.
To be continued...
