Chapter 377 “Disciple Guest” (Part 1)

Although Cao Song was so annoyed that he was not worried, Cao Yong finally couldn't bear it when he saw his trembling appearance, so he called two servants to help him to Huaiyuan.

It was the cold winter month, and if I was sick, I was not a fun thing to sit down, Cao Yong called someone to prepare ginger soup in the kitchen, and asked someone to pick up the imperial physician to see him.

Because he was afraid that he would get sick from cold and hot, Cao Yong did not ask him to go to the bedroom and just sat in the hall.

Cao Song drooped his head and said that he was fine. Seeing his eyes were red and swollen, Cao Yong sighed in his heart and said seriously: "Do you know what's wrong with me?"

Cao Song's chin was almost pressed to his chest and he whispered: "The Xiaoqi travels to the room for unfiliality; Yu Zhu is the woman of his younger brother, and he cannot protect her mother and son's safety, which is unkind; his brother worked so hard outside and his younger brother even made such a big mess, which is unrighteous. I... I am just a bastard... I am not worthy of being my brother's brother, nor is I worthy of being Cao Shuo and his brother..."

Cao Yong heard that he was quite clear and felt a little relieved, and said, "Waiter, what are you good about your brother? You are not a child, you must be clear about what you do and you can't be so ignorant anymore. Because of your negligence, you have lost two lives, and you have to remember it for the rest of your life."

Cao Song pale and nodded, "Brother knows!"

Cao Yong remembered Zhao Jia and looked at Cao Song. After all, he was Cao Song's biological mother. In front of him, everything was wrong, which seemed to be sowing the relationship between mother and son. Therefore, he said lightly: "By the way, your sister-in-law has a body, and she has been exhausted recently. The second wife has taken care of the housework in the second wife. A family like us is nothing in the capital. If you take time, you should advise the second wife. Even if you treat the servants, don't shout and kill. A person's life is only one, and it will be gone. Everything will be rewarded in the end. It is better to have a good idea!"

Cao Song heard Zhao Jia nagging many times, because the housework in the capital was controlled by Chu Yu and Zijing. Now, when Cao Yong said this, he couldn't help but blush and murmured: "Brother, did your mother go to make trouble with you and sister-in-law?"

Seeing Cao Yong nodding, Cao Song couldn't help frowning and complained: "Mother is not a fool. What else should my sister-in-law treat her like this?"

Seeing his attitude, Cao Yong was afraid that he would be in trouble, and the New Year would be a mess again, so he said, "How do you talk? You must know that no matter what the second wife is, her mother is full of love for your son, and she is not selfish! Even if these things happen this time, she shouldn't be so ignorant of human life, but it is for your future and fame. In the mansion, if you want to take charge of power and manage affairs, you are afraid that our brother and sister-in-law will be wronged. Others can choose her reasons, but you cannot. You must remember these points and persuade her so that she can care about it. If you use your temperament to say nothing, she just thinks that you are ignorant. If you are provoked by your brother and sister-in-law, your heart will be deeper and deeper."

When Cao Song heard Cao Yong's words, he said embarrassedly: "Brother, aren't you angry with your mother?"

"Life! It's just that things have come to this point. We can't blame the second wife all for being wrong. It's also the point where I and your sister-in-law handle it. It's just because of your relationship, I want the family to be so close to you, so that I can't be too close to you. But I forgot that sometimes people can't be too close to each other. If they are too close, they may lose their respect. It's better to be in a distance and stay close. Everyone should keep their face and have some concerns in their hearts. This is the best way to do this."

"Brother, are you getting close to me in the future?" Cao Song heard this and said with a bitter face, he wanted to shed tears.

When Cao Yong saw this, he was so amused and fucked hard, and punched him hard and said, "What nonsense is said? That's what you mean, you will be able to do it. What do you think about? You know the second wife's temper. Your sister-in-law is a tantrum. Instead of being like this, it's better to be clearer. It's also true that the second wife's wishes have nothing to do with you. Just be filial to your mother and prepare for the exam with your life and hard work!"

Although Cao Yong was already very fed up with Zhaojia, he did not want Cao Song to have a rift with Zhaojia.

In this era, filial piety was emphasized. If Cao Song and Zhao Jia had a dispute, the last difficulty would still be Cao Song himself. Therefore, he mentioned the entanglement between Zhao Jia and Zhao Jia.

He was not afraid that Zhao Jia would talk nonsense in front of Cao Song. After all, he and Chu Yu really couldn't find any mistakes, and he was calm. If Cao Song really wanted to be indiscriminate, he would save himself from the fact that he would not have to worry about his younger brother anymore.

After a while, the imperial physician had already invited him to Huaiyuan to take care of Cao Song's pulse. Chu Yu also received the news and came to visit him in person.

Fortunately, Cao Song practiced martial arts all day long and was strong. Although some cold air entered his body, it was not a big deal. The imperial physician prescribed two prescriptions to get rid of the cold, and told him a few words to eat and then he was properly prepared.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu both breathed a sigh of relief. It was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month and the Chinese New Year was about to celebrate. At this time, the stranger was suffering from illness.

After Zhao Jia returned from Wutongyuan, she was very concerned about the monthly payments for the second house and the servants, as well as the cost of the three Cao Song and his brothers studying. The more they calculated, the more they became, the more they were, and instead forgot Cao Song in the ancestral hall.

There are three young masters in the second room, two girls, and two aunts. The total number of these seven is 14 taels of silver per month. There are also a few servants around the young masters, Changsui, maids, mothers in the yard, breasts and little girls around the girl, maids around the aunt, and Zhaojia's accompanying room and several elderly people who are commonly used.

To calculate the above and below, there are 5 or 60 people in total. Zhao Jia thought that the maids and mothers in Cao Song and their brothers' yard were chosen after entering Beijing. This should not be considered the second house, right? I also remembered that the few around Wu'er were arranged by Chu Yu, but I didn't know how to calculate it?

Then he thought about it and was confused. Now that he had no family separation, the family in Beijing would be divided into any room to which one child was assigned. Why should I make this fool of myself? I would make Wutongyuan laugh at me for being stingy.

The village is twenty hectares of land, which is not small. However, the land rent in the capital of Jingji is not much lower than that in Jiangnan. The land rent in Jiangnan is mostly between 35% and 45% while in Jingji is only between 25% and 35% and 35% in Jingji.

The profit of Zhuangzi is only 6 or 700 taels a year, plus Cao Song’s salary is not enough for everyone’s expenses. It seems that to streamline the population and save a monthly salary. The tenants on the other side of Zhuangzi are too broad to see if the rent can be increased by 50% next year, so that the income can be increased.

Zhao Jia's original headache was still there, but thinking about this makes me feel much more energetic.

She couldn't read, but Lu Ju had learned "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Characters Text", so she called Lu Ju and took paper and pen, and calculated to see where she could be frugal and where she could be more.

Although Zhao Jia rarely pays for money, her furniture is very rich. There are many different kinds of things, except for those jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, even money, there are 40,000 to 50,000 taels, of which 20,000 taels of marriage left by the old lady, and the rest are Cao Quan’s salary over the past few decades and the filial piety of his subordinates.

The sons will be filial next year, and the two older ones will have to discuss bride and marry each other, but the two younger ones will have to wait a few years. Only ten thousand taels of silver are enough. The remaining spring will be found to find a suitable person to find a village and add two more small villages.

Before Zhao Jia entered Beijing, she heard Madam Zhang talk about it many times, saying that Chu Yu had carried hundreds of dowry when he got married, and there were all the people in the village and shop, so rich. Therefore, she also hoped that her daughter-in-law would bring more furniture when she came in. If Cao Songzhen could tell her niece of her parents' family, then the designation would be impossible.

Although when Cao Quan was alive in her early years, she complained to Cao Quan, she only said that she was the youngest marriage money without the old lady's back, and needed to praise her. In the past six months since she entered Beijing, she had changed her mind.

She was unwilling to break up with Aunt Meng and Aunt Chang. In addition to worrying about the identity of the two people coming from the royal family, she also had selfish thoughts, which was the future event for the sisters of the Fourth Sister and Wuer.

Now it is no longer the same as before. The Cao family has already carried the flag on it. It is not the Interior Ministry’s coattails. The Cao family’s daughter does not have to participate in the Interior Ministry’s "small selection", but directly participates in the "title show" once every three years.

After all, the eldest wife had to rely on the Pingwang Mansion to get other dignity. Now, the Cao family is the residence of the count. Regardless of the five concubines, the fourth sister who was born in the legitimate family was just an ordinary thing. If they did it well, they would also be able to refer to the prince Beile.

When Zhao Jia thought of this, she began to feel a little regretful, thinking about whether she had made a fuss. After all, she was not a serious mother-in-law, and Chu Yu was a noble girl from the royal family. Why did she take it at will?

*

Huaiyuan, in the room, watching Cao Song lie down after drinking medicine, Cao Yong and Chu Yu come out of the room. There were four jade dragonflies, jade spiders, jade cicadas, and jade fireflies. Now the jade spiders are dead and jade dragonflies are injured, and the remaining jade cicadas and jade fireflies are also showing fear.

Chu Yu ordered two good students to take care of them, and then went out of Huaiyuan with Cao Yong.

When the two talked about the incident where Cao Ying and his wife came over soon, they had to leave food to eat. Cao Yong remembered Sun Jue's ugly behavior in the Li family, and hurriedly told Chu Yu that the banquet should be placed in the front yard and that the maid should not arrange for the food to be served.

In the past, Sun Jue was noble and arrogant. Although he was not liked by others, he would not be despised. Nowadays, the high-end shelf is still holding, but it is a little different. It is like he was wearing mud and said that he was a clean person, but he didn't know that he was already smelly.

When Chu Yu heard Cao Yong's other words, he asked in confusion: "Mr., Mr. Sun...but the wine tastes bad?"

But is the wine bad? Or is it too low-minded at all? The different sayings do not make plans. Cao Yong was too lazy to have a close relationship with him and was unwilling to tell Chu Yu about these things. He nodded and said, "That's right, it's not good to drink too much, and it's a mess, and it's still a shame for the elder sister!"

Chu Yu remembered it in his heart and did not mention it. Before the two arrived at Wutongyuan, Xicai came to report: "The prince, the butler just sent a message to the second door, saying that the sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince have arrived. They have invited the front yard to serve tea. Please come over quickly!"

"Why are they here?" Cao Yong was a little happy and said to Chu Yu: "You go back and rest first, I'll take a look, I haven't seen them for several days!"

Chu Yu asked, "Mr., should you keep your sixteenth uncle and seventeenth uncle in the mansion to have wine? Chu Yu can also make people prepare wine and food early."

Cao Yong thought for a while and said, "There is no need to prepare more. The people have already prepared a table. If you prepare a table, you can prepare two more home-cooked dishes. If they have time, they will leave it. If they don't have time, we will eat it ourselves and we won't waste anything."

The couple parted with each other, Cao Yong walked out of the second door and quickly walked towards the living room.

The Sixteenth Prince sat on the chair with his body tilted, and he was wiggling, not knowing what he said to the Seventeenth Prince. The Seventeenth Prince was by his side, just laughing "hehe".

The Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but curl his lips, stretched out his finger, and staggered at the Seventeenth Prince: "Look at your unpromising appearance, no wonder you were eaten to death!"

The Seventeenth Prince was just not sure what to say, but when he saw Cao Yong coming in at the door, he hurriedly said, "Cao Yong, I will come to see you with the Seventh Prince!"

Cao Yong greeted the two of them. Seeing that they were laughing and laughing, he was in great interest and asked, "Is there any good thing?"

The Sixteenth Prince smiled and said, "That's not the case. Xiao Shiqi will be a father next year. Look, he is so happy. I haven't been talking about it in the past half a day!"

After hearing this, Cao Yong was also happy for the Seventeenth Prince. Although the Seventeenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince are famously in love, as the prince, giving birth is also the primary event.

"Master Seventeen, congratulations!" Cao Yong said with his fists.

The Seventeenth Prince laughed twice and said, "Happy and happy together. I heard that there are happy events in your mansion, but now we have to see which of the two younger ones landed first!"

Cao Yong couldn't help but smile. The speed of giving birth was also comparable.

The Sixteenth Prince saw the seventeenth Prince's appearance and shook his head, saying, "Tsk tsk, seventeenth brother, why do you think you don't look like a gift-giving person, but you're here to show off!"

Cao Yong heard Nahan, the seventeenth prince had not opened a house yet, so why did he think of giving gifts?
