Chapter 807: Sorrow of separation

Because Cao's mansion was filial and Cao Song was about to set off with the 14th Prince, when he arrived in Laba, Cao's mansion was no longer as happy as in previous years.

Regarding Cao Song, Cao Yong not only exchanged his close-fitting soft armor from the market at a high price, but also gave him a few more instructions and asked him to go to the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion to ask for several more times before leaving.

Although Cao Song did not understand the intention, he always believed his brother the most and went there obediently. Anyway, the Thirteenth Prince was his uncle, and he often followed Fengche's brothers to invite him, but he was not afraid of him.

When the Thirteenth Prince heard that his cousin was going to go to war, he was worried for two days, and he also discussed with the Thirteenth Prince whether to say hello to the Fourteenth Prince, so as to avoid any mistakes.

Cao Song has a simple personality and lost his father when he was young. He served his widowed mother and took care of his brothers below, which made the Thirteenth Concubine, the aunt, feel more pity for him.

When the Thirteenth Prince heard this, he was amused and laughed and said, "Cao Song is a guard and works by his side with the Fourteenth Brother. He will not leave the Central Army tent. Even if there is no peace in other places, there will be no mistakes in the Central Army tent. Please rest assured."

The Thirteenth Princess was just concerned and confused. After hearing her husband's words, she knew that she was thinking too much. It was just that the northwest was bitter and cold. After all, this nephew came from a wealthy family, so he didn't know what to suffer now.

In this way, the thirteenth concubine's pity became more and more powerful.

Seeing his wife like this, the Thirteenth Prince was quite concerned about Cao Song's trip and presented a good knife in his mansion to Cao Song.

Cao Song was half a martial arts fanatic, so he was naturally overjoyed when he saw this. He was still wondering if his brother asked him to come to the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion to pay more respects. He knew that there was something good on this one.

In addition to Cao Song, Hongshu, who was about to go to the 13th Prince's Mansion, has also been running harder these days.

Both are the eldest sons, Hongshu and Cao Song are different.

It seems that even if he goes to war, it is appropriate to have an elder brother at home. Hongshu has some hidden worries.

Two brothers, one is reckless and the other is still young. Ama is a little withdrawn and does not associate with other princes.

The Thirteenth Prince observed his words and expressions and saw that Hongshu had thoughts, tempted his words, knew what he was thinking, and felt sincere and filial. He also felt more fond of this nephew.

But he was not a person of chaos. Cao Song and Hongshu came here one by one, and even Nersu came twice. The Thirteenth Prince naturally realized that something was wrong.

Nersu did not say anything else, but mentioned that Prince Ping and the Thirteenth Prince had always had a good relationship with the Thirteenth Prince. After he went to war, he also asked the Thirteenth Prince to take care of his niece-in-law.

The Thirteenth Prince knew that Cao Song was the most straightforward, but he didn't expect that after asking a few questions, he didn't tell the truth.

In fact, it was not Cao Song's alertness, but he felt it was difficult to say it. He couldn't say that his brother told him to come and pay his respects, so he came. He didn't know the specific reason.

Although he didn't ask the truth, if he thought about Cao Song, Hongshu, and Nersu, all the relatives of Cao Yong, the Thirteenth Prince knew that he was indispensable to Cao Yong.

He talked to Cao Yong, but Cao Yin left for less than a hundred days, and Cao Yong was still in the hot filial piety and was not able to go out casually. Therefore, things were delayed.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the third army of the Western Expedition was set off on December 12th.

Cao Yong was not interested in paying attention to the 14th prince's charity, how did Kangxi send it to the palace of Taihe? How did Prince Beile, who did not go to war, obeyed the python to obey.

He just was worried that his younger brother was going to the battlefield.

After going around in the middle of the night, I got up at dawn. When I saw Cao Song coming to say goodbye, Cao Yong didn't know what to say. He had already given the big sweater and anti-freezing badger oil to Cao Song's Changsui.

Cao Song was wearing a new guard uniform, and he was wearing the sword given by the Thirteenth Prince. He looked much more grand than usual.

Cao Song kowtowed to Li first, bid farewell to his sister-in-law Chu Yu again, and finally came to his brother.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely return safely." Cao Song's voice was extremely firm.

When Cao Yong heard this, his heart felt warm.

Yes, just be safe. It seems that my stupid brother also knows his intentions and does not expect him to shine on his family. He just hopes that he will be safe and healthy.

Cao Yong patted his shoulder and nodded vigorously.

On this day, the people in the capital heard the sound of war drums; on this day, the people in the capital saw the flags dancing; on this day, the people in the capital sent away tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital.

In the twelfth lunar month of the 57th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the capital was immersed in the sadness of parting.

The children of powerful families were very happy because for the Eight Banners men, the battlefield represents fame and fortune and a bright future.

The children of ordinary people are soaked in tears of separation from their relatives. Among them, no one knows how many people will be buried in the frontier.

In the midst of the sorrow of parting, the Cao family ushered in the New Year of the 58th year of Kangxi.

There are no firecrackers or banquets, even children, who are used to seeing adults' faces, and they are less likely to play.

Everyone in both palaces gathered in Lanyuan to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

The reunion dinner was not allowed to reunite. Li thought of his deceased husband, and Zhao Jia thought of his eldest son who had been half a month away from Jing, so the two could only force themselves to smile.

The two brothers Cao Xiang and Cao Fu were not happy either. Cao Xiang was because of his biological mother Baodian.

He was determined to make progress, just hoping to achieve a little success and make his biological mother live a more relaxed life. Unexpectedly, after hitting Tanhua, his mother treated her biological mother more and more violently.

Baodie didn't want his son to worry, and was afraid that he would be upset when he knew it, so he hid all these unfairnesses.

It was not until the Mid-Autumn Festival that when his wife mentioned her aunt in the room, she knew the harshness she suffered in her wife's room.

As a son of man, he could not stand it and was already thinking about the matter of dividing the family.

If this continues, he is afraid that he will feel resentful and even lose his relationship with his brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, before he can speak, he will catch up with his uncle's death, and then there will be a long funeral.

After finally waiting for the funeral, the elder brother named him and went to war. How could Cao Xiang say the word "dividing the family"?

He is patient, but there is always a time when he can't bear it anymore.

After Cao Song went on the battle, Zhao Jia was unhappy and stayed in bed for half a month. She didn't need a few wives to serve her by the bed. She served medicine at night and ordered Baodian.

Baodie is no longer young, and he beats the forty people to the floor in the cold winter in the twelfth month, and he gets sick within a few days.

Zhao Jia only said that she was "lazy and sloppy" and "whatever is so cute" and did not ask anyone to show it. When Cao Xiang got the news, Baodie was already ill and unconscious.

Cao Xiang immediately asked someone to ask the doctor to prescribe and buy medicine.

Even Chunhua saw that her husband valued his aunt, he became more respectful and took him to Baodie's house to visit him every day.

Zhao Jia was originally a taboo, but he couldn't bear it when he heard this, so he ran to Baodie's house and had a fuss. He asked someone to pull Baodie up from the kang, and then asked someone to extinguish the charcoal basin in the house. Even Chunhua was scolded by Zhao Jia.

When Cao Xiang comes back, everything has come to an end.

Cao Xiang did not want his biological mother to suffer such grievances, so he directly found his eldest sister-in-law Jinghui's place and told him that he would take his biological mother away. It happened that Cao Fu also got the news and came to pursue Cao Xiang. After hearing Cao Xiang's words, he realized what his mother had done.

Dividing the family is a big deal, Jinghui is just a woman, how can she dare to accept it?

She was hesitating, when Cao Fu came in, pulled Cao Xiang, and just wanted to swear, asking him to rest assured that such a thing would not happen to the family again in the future, and asked him to take back the words of "dividing the family" and not let the elder brother outside worry.

After all, it is not just a matter of one sentence. If it is two sentences, things will still be delayed.

Due to delays and a frightened incident, Baodie's illness has not been cured until today.

Thinking of this, Cao Xiang was also distracted from the delicious food on the table.

Cao Feng was beside him, looked at his brother worriedly, hesitated for a moment, and said to Cao Yong: "Brother, Aunt Bao had typhoid fever a few days ago, but it has not recovered yet. If it is convenient, can I let my aunt go to the hot spring village to recuperate for some time?"

"My aunt has not recovered yet?" Cao Yong was quite surprised.

A few days ago, when I heard Chu Yu mention that Baodie was uncomfortable, Li even sent someone to visit the East Mansion, but I didn't expect that it was not yet well.

When Cao Ying asked, Cao Xiang's expression became more and more depressed. If it weren't for the attack of his mother's legitimate mother, it wouldn't have made his aunt's condition worse and remained lingering until now.

Cao Fu knew in his heart that it was his mother's fault, but as a son, he was not good at talking about his mother's life, so he could only vaguely reply: "Yes, I'm still sick. The fourth brother was also worried about this. It is said that hot springs are the most nurturing people, and it will be fine if you send them there for a while to recuperate."

Cao Yong glanced at Cao Xiang and said, "Fourth brother, the Hanlin Academy will have to be released before the fifteenth is released? If you have time, it would be better to send your aunt to Changping for a few days to recuperate. The village over there is still a proper cleaning. Even if you pass the fifteenth, your yamen will open the seal, so you don't have to rush to send your aunt back. At that time, my sister-in-law and I will also send your aunt to live there for a while."

This was what Cao Yong and Chuyu had already planned, and now they have burned their father for a hundred days. In addition to Bai Xiao, the whole family happened to take Li and his children to live in Changping Hot Spring Village after the New Year.

The left and right Cao Yong was worried, so he didn't need to go to the yamen to click Mao.

Leaving the mansion and going out to relax, it also prevents Li from getting into trouble when he gets into the scene.

Cao Xiang was moved when he heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Brother, is it cheap?"

Cao Yong laughed and said, "What's wrong with it? It's not someone else's house. What's the matter with your own village? It's just the season to take a hot spring bath, which is more interesting than being trapped in the capital. You are still filial now and don't have to go out to socialize with relatives or friends, otherwise you'll be afraid of being unable to get rid of yourself if you want to go."

Cao Xiang thanked happily and looked at his younger brother next to him with a little thanks. He didn't think about letting his aunt live in the village forever. If the eldest uncle went out of the capital to recuperate, he might have to take Zhaojia with him again. Then he would avoid it and avoid trouble.

Cao Xiang had already begun to think about how to keep his aunt away from Zhaojia without separating her family...

Due to the abnormal reactions of Cao Xiang brothers at the New Year’s Eve dinner, Cao Yong always felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he told his wife about this and asked her to find an opportunity to ask Jinghui.

Although family scandals should not be made public, firstly, Chu Yu is not someone else, and secondly, Cao Xiang even said "dividing the family", Jinghui was uneasy these days. So, she told Chu Yu truthfully the farce before the East Mansion New Year.

Chu Yu was really stunned when he listened to these big dramas.

"Why are you still so energetic when you look at your second wife these days?" Chu Yu sighed and asked.

Jinghui hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know where our wife has fought. She only said that the concubine's son has gained fame and honor, and the concubine's mother also wants to be granted the imperial edict. She has always been very proud, so she doesn't think of Aunt Bao, so she has become more and more interested in doing things."

Chu Yu was also a concubine. Thinking of the fight between the wives and concubines, he felt disgusted and frowned and said, "You don't persuade me, just let her make trouble? Even if you don't care about other people's face, you still have to look at the affection of the Fourth Master and the Fourth Grandma."

Jinghui was left with helpless face and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know. How could our wife listen to advice? If others don't take Aunt Bao seriously, the wife will feel comfortable; if she asks a few more questions, she still doesn't know how she will continue to do anything."

"Everyone is harmonious and everything will be prosperous. When will the second wife understand this?" Chu Yu also knew that Jinghui was telling the truth, so he could only sigh.

After Cao Yong heard Chu Yu's retelling and knew the details, he frowned.

It seems that it really doesn't work, so I can only arrange for Cao Xiang to move out. Now it's just a small friction. After a while, small resentment accumulates into big resentment, which will hurt the family and the family.

Cao Yong just thought about it this way, and Cao Xiang had to make his own decisions on the specific matters.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Xiang took his wife and concubine to send Baodie to Changping.

When Zhao Jia knew it, it was already the next day. She cursed hatefully for half a day, but it just made her mouth dry...

In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed.
