Chapter 1340 Qing Xingxiao (please guarantee the monthly ticket)

Although I don’t know how Shu Hed mentioned it to his grandfather after he returned, Cao Yong clearly felt the different attitudes of Xu Yuanmeng at the next small court meeting.

Before the Holy Lord arrived, the old prime minister found Yuzi and said a few words to Cao Yong.

Shuhede had not yet given up and was not the time to propose marriage in front of Xiaochao, but Xu Yuanmeng still said something like "The son is extraordinary, and Xiaosun needs the son to give more advice in the future."

Cao Yong knew it in his heart, and said a few humility, and could not help but praise Shuhede.

Xu Yuanmeng was very happy when he heard this. With his old man's experience in the officialdom for many years, he was not a person who was in love with joy and anger.

Now that I am happy, in addition to being truly satisfied with this marriage, I also expressed my opinion in front of Cao Yong.

If it were Shuhede, he might still think that the matter of "choosing a brother-in-law" was the decision of Tianyou, the brother, who made his own decision.

But Xu Yuanmeng was cunning and didn't understand that without the acquiescence of Cao Yong and his wife, things in the West would never be done.

You should know that the eldest girl in the Cao family is not only a legitimate daughter, but also a single daughter in the Cao family. How could Tianyou, a young brother, make the decision on her marriage?

If Tianyou was so brainless, he would not have been a Jinshi at a young age, and then he would have been transferred from literary to military officials to serve as a guard in front of the imperial court.

The older generation of the Cao family was only two sisters-in-law, but everyone knew that the most prosperous generation of the Cao family was the Cao Yong brothers.

If the eldest son married the Cao family's legitimate daughter, it would make up for the regret of not being supported by his uncle and elders.

Judging from the fact that the Cao family’s aunts are suitable for the royal family, the upbringing of the Cao family’s girls is unmistakable.

Speaking of appearance, Cao Yong and his son are both handsome and handsome. Most of the aunts of the Cao family are dignified and beautiful, and the eldest daughters of the Cao family can't be wrong if they come here.

Perhaps if someone else had to take some face into consideration, or because he was an old surname of the Eight Banners and a grandfather, even if he was willing to do so, he still looked arrogant and acted like he was reluctant, thinking about suppressing his in-laws.

Xu Yuanmeng is not that frivolous. The so-called Grand Secretary’s Mansion may have to cling to other families.

But for the upstart Cao family, it may not be a very high family.

If the Cao family really intends to "marry a daughter from a high family", they can marry directly from the royal family.

Judging from the close relationship between the Cao family and the royal family, it is definitely not difficult.

Although Xu Yuanmeng only talked for a few words in ordinary ways, and his voice was not loud, the happy expression on his face fell into everyone's eyes.

The old prime minister who concentrates on studying history and does not care about the affairs of the ministry, suddenly, was so familiar with Cao Yong, the Minister of Revenue, which inevitably attracted people's attention.

Some people even began to speculate whether Zhang Tingyu had something that had fallen into the eyes of the emperor recently. The emperor had dismissed his Ministry of Revenue's seal, and did he still want Xu Xiang to take over the Ministry of Revenue?

Zhang Tingyu stood in the forefront, and although he did not look back, he noticed the hot gazes of everyone.

He often works in front of the emperor, so he knows that he has nothing to anger the emperor, and the emperor will not let the old and seventy-seven scholars take care of the cumbersome ministry again.

However, he couldn't help but scan Xu Yuanmeng's eyes with the corners of his eyes.

What does the Cao family have that can make the calm and composed old prime minister smile so brightly?

Could it be that he is targeting the Cao family’s collection of books?

When Cao Yin was in Jiangnan in his early years, he was ordered to publish a lot of books, and he must have found many lonely books. Later, when he returned to Beijing, Cao Yin always enjoyed proofreading books and publications.

Others may not know it, but for Zhang Tingyu, who was born in the Jiangnan Shilin City, he knew the glory of the Gu family in Jiangnan in his early years and the origins of the Cao family and the Gu family.

It is true that Xu Yuanmeng and Cao Yong have never had any contact, so no matter how clear Zhang Tingyu is, he would never have imagined that the two families will marry each other.

As a scholar, all ancient books are regarded as treasures, and Zhang Tingyu is no exception.

Usually, because he was in charge of the emperor, he was more careful and kept a distance from his colleagues and subordinates, and was not a member of the group.

If the old prime minister can really borrow books in the name of history, then when he participates in history writing in the future, can he follow the previous examples...

When the court scattered, before others could ask in detail, the sixteenth prince had already come out with Cao Yong.

Most people are paying attention to Xu Yuanmeng, but the Sixteenth Prince has always looked at the problem from Cao Yong's standpoint.

In the eyes of others, it is the old prime minister who treats Cao Yong close, which is a bit like a mess; in the eyes of the sixteenth prince, it is the old man who "satisfied with nothing to do", and may be planning for Cao Yong.

Although he knew that Cao Yong was not a waste of money, he knew that Cao Yong had always respected the elderly and was very polite to elderly people. He didn't want to see Xu Yuanmeng "relying on his seniority" to take advantage of Cao Yong.

Because the emperor moved to the Old Summer Palace, Cao Yong and others took shifts to the Old Summer Palace.

The sixteenth prince was also going back to Beijing, but he was on the way with Cao Yong, so he didn't rush to ask.

It was not until he came out of the Old Summer Palace that he asked Cao Yong to get on his carriage and asked in detail.

The Sixteenth Prince was not an outsider and there was nothing to hide from it. Cao Yong said that he liked Shuhede and wanted the two families to get married.

The sixteenth prince nodded and shook his fan and said, "This is a good thing. The few prime ministers in the capital are famous for their purity. Needless to say, Xu Xiang would not have been able to stand tall in both dynasties if he had not been a clear mind. Even their old lady is also a wonderful person."

Xu Yuanmeng was not satisfied. Cao Yong was still able to meet him when he was an official in the same dynasty. After all, Mrs. Xu was a woman from the inner house. The two families had only had younger generations and had no other contacts. Cao Yong was really not familiar with Mrs. Xu.

Originally, I thought that birds of birds of feathers gathered together, Cao Yi's mother-in-law Xi Tala was a wise old lady. Even though Mrs. Xu was able to have a good relationship with her, she also wanted to act clearly.

Now, after hearing what the Sixteenth Prince said, it seems that there is something to say.

"What do you mean?" Cao Yong asked.

Cao Yong had inquired about the university affairs a lot, but he was still worried that there would inevitably be omissions.

The Sixteenth Prince said: "To be honest, it was also news at that time. It was just a coincidence that you were not in Beijing and had a lot of private words from the inner hut, so I didn't care."

It is because of choosing a wife that the Grand Secretary’s wife is unique and has attracted many people to talk about it.

At that time, Mrs. Xu chose a wife for the third son of the concubine. Because Xu Yuanmeng was given the title of "commissioned" at that time, she was officially promoted to Grand Secretary. The door was lively.

Not only do many families with low rank want to marry and cling to each other, but even more prominent families also want to give up a concubine's daughter and have a noble family.

The family is similar, and the concubine's son marrying a concubine's daughter is also the norm for marriage between a large family in the capital.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu took a different approach and only gave her the concubine's daughter a look at her.

In this way, the marriage door was reduced a lot in the first place, and it also responded to the saying "Marry a wife in a low family", which was not very eye-catching.

But as Mrs. Xu looked around, those who were interested realized that the difference was found.

For those families with poor families, Mrs. Xu seemed to have no idea about it. The ones who looked at each other were wealthy families.

Someone dug up the foundation of Mrs. Xu's first two daughters-in-law, whether it is the eldest daughter-in-law or the second daughter-in-law of a concubine, is mostly the daughter of a wealthy family, and the dowry is rich.

Those families who cannot get married or cling to each other must say a few sour words, mocking Mrs. Xu for having "wealthy eyes" and laughing at the old lady for being a greedy person.

It turned out to be this, Cao Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Yong had already known about Mrs. Xu's dowry and hiring a wife.

After all, he was not an ancient man, and he did not have the awesomeness of "seeing money as dirt" in the world.

On the contrary, he could understand Mrs. Xu's approach.

As a legitimate daughter, she knows the difference between legitimate and illegitimate, and will not instigate her husband to have trouble.

The daughters of wealthy families are mostly spoiled. Even if they have a lower family, they will not be stingy and greedy and vulgar.

The above two points are exactly the way to "harmony between the family and everything will prosper".

In addition, the family background of the Grand Secretary’s House is not rich, and the family wealth that the two concubines get through the separation of their families is limited. If you have a wife with a rich dowry, you can still have more guarantees even if you don’t expect your wife’s dowry.

As a legitimate mother, being able to do this shows that Mrs. Xu is a righteous man, otherwise she would not have been willing to lose her reputation and give her two concubines a benefit...

As the two were talking, they heard the rushing sound of horse hooves coming from the front.

The two couldn't help but look at each other and stopped talking.

From the capital to the Old Summer Palace, there are official roads all the way. Now the Holy Lord has moved to the Old Summer Palace, and the royal family is even more famous.

Isn’t it too arrogant to gallop here?

Before the sixteenth prince sent someone to ask which one it was, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching, and then the carriage stopped.

The Sixteenth Prince was surprised and picked up the curtain, but was stunned.

The person who came was not someone else, but was actually the guards of his palace.

The person who came was already dismounted, and his forehead was sweating. He approached and said, "Prince, the butler sent his servant to find the Wei guards. The person who came to the Wei family came to the palace to spread a message that the Wei guards' wife had a premature birth, which was quite dangerous. He asked the Wei guards to go home quickly."

Before the sixteenth prince could react, Wei Wenzhi outside the carriage and Cao Yong in the carriage were surprised at the same time.

Seeing Cao Yong's shocked face, the Sixteenth Prince realized that it was not someone else who had the accident, but Cao Yong's junior sister Zhuang.

At this time, the Sixteenth Prince didn't bother to scold his guards. Seeing that Cao Yong was unable to sit still, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a fast horse.

Wei Wenzhi was young after all, with a pale face and a dazed expression.

Seeing him like this, Cao Yong frowned and said, "For women, childbirth is a level, so where can I think of the worst? At this time, Niu Niu is the most difficult time and needs your husband's company. If you can't adjust your emotions, just sit in my carriage and walk slowly. I dare not let you ride back to the city like this. If there is any mistake, will it cause trouble?"

The sixteenth prince also scolded: "Your Madam Su also thinks you are responsible, why are you scared by this little thing? You can't make a fortune, don't embarrass me!"

The two of them scolded repeatedly, and Qingming finally reappeared in Wei Wenzhi's eyes.

He reached out and rubbed his face hard, calmed down much, and resigned with the sixteenth prince, and got on his horse and returned to Beijing with Cao Yong.

Cao Yong didn't say anything along the way.

When he was comforting Wei Wenzhi just now, he was not afraid.

He knew that it was terrible for a woman to have a difficult childbirth. Not only was his wife almost killed by a single body, but he also saw the Princess Khalkha who died of a difficult childbirth with his own eyes.

Niu Niu hit the ground at the Cao family. It was not like Cao Yong’s junior sister, but more like his and Chu Yu’s eldest daughter.
