Chapter 670: Asking for help

Capital City, Cao Family, Dongfu.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Zhao Jia got up early. Because she was widowed and could not wear colored clothes, she chose a newly cut stone-green flag suit last month, and her hair was combed in a slight way. She pressed two jade hairpins without colors and had jade bracelets on her chest.

After finishing cleaning, she looked in front of the mirror and carefully wiped her teeth with fine salt.

Hongmei has been serving Zhaojia for a few months, but the first time she saw her so concerned, thinking that she was so sad because she was going to receive the gift from Cao Xiang and the new aunt.

After brushing his teeth, Zhao Jia looked in the mirror for a while, but still felt a little deficient. She touched the flag clothes on her body and said to herself: "Is the color of the clothes too picky? Do you want to wear a vest to suppress the color?"

Hongmei listened and said with a smile: "Mrs. She looks good in this erotic clothes, and her face looks white."

It's naturally white because it has been coated with several layers of powder.

Zhao Jia looked at the mirror and said to Hongmei: "Get the hid blue satin-bottomed large pipa-padded vest I made last month."

Hongmei responded and went to the closet in the east room, found the vest that Zhao Jia wanted, and served her to put it on.

Zhao Jia looked in front of the mirror, closed the smile on her face, looked carefully, and felt satisfied.

Here, Cao Song and his wife, Cao Xiang and Xin Aunt, Cao Fu came, Baodie and Jade also brought Wu'er over.

In addition to the fourth sister who lives here and the nurse holding Tianhu, the second room is almost there. Although there is still Tianhu's biological mother, Tianxiang, but she can't get on the table and is disliked by Zhao Jia, so there is no room for her to show up.

Green chrysanthemum was wearing pink clothes, green pleated skirt, and tied her hair with a bun, revealing a smooth and white little face.

Zhao Jia sat on her own, quite majestic. She first received the gift of Cao Xiang and Lu Ju, drank the tea that Lu Ju knelt on, put a red envelope into the tea tray, and said to Lu Ju: "It will be a waste to serve you with all your heart in the future, and I will love you."

Lu Ju responded on her knees, and then Zhao Jia received the gift from everyone again.

Then, Cao Xiang brought it to Lu Ju, and served tea to the mansion.

Cao Song and Jinghui are brothers and sisters-in-law, so they don’t say much; Cao Fu, with a bit of joke, held the teacup and refused to drink it, and said to Cao Xiang with a low smile: “The fourth brother and the younger sister-in-law finally have lovers and finally get married. Is the fourth brother free now?”

Cao Xiang was afraid that he would be unrestrained and caused trouble, so he hurriedly held up his hand, put the teacup to his mouth, and said, "Fifth brother, drink tea..."

Zhao Jia sat in the upper seat, looking at the clock in the hall without even noticed the interaction between Cao Xiang brothers.

Her heart was already like a grass growing, with a little nervousness and a little expectation.

Seeing that Zhao Jia looked wrong and her face was pale, Cao Song couldn't help but feel a little worried. He turned around and asked, "Mother, are you not resting? Do you want your son to invite the imperial physician to come and see it for your mother?"

When Zhao Jia heard this, she felt disappointed and frowned and said, "Bao, what bad things are you saying during the holidays? You don't need to wait for me to die, I still have to work. With that skill, you should also worry about your own errands. Don't always think about being lazy and wander around at home all day."

Cao Song was scolded to death and turned his head away, feeling depressed. He was just a matter of concern; it was because they were on duty this month.

Every day, he entered the palace when he was in the palace gate and came out when he opened the palace gate in the morning. He had already told Zhao Jia two times before, but Zhao Jia didn't care about it and forgot it.

Even if he is on duty during the day, he has to discuss shifts with his colleagues today, because later he will go to the Duke's mansion to pick up his sister Cao Yi and return to Ning.

Jinghui sat down at her husband's head and saw that her mother-in-law was wrong.

But women are careful and will not regard their pink face as "sick appearance". In addition, since Zhao Jia took the seat, she kept glanced at the clock. Jinghui thought about it and knew the reason, and felt a little strange.

After Cao Xiang and Ludie met everyone, Zhao Jia was impatient and said to Cao Song: "It's getting late, go and pick up your third sister's house. Although it's the closest relative, it's not easy for her to wait for a long time."

Cao Song responded, got up and went out, and headed to the Duke's Mansion.

There were many people in the hall, but it was a bit unlucky. Tian Hu was less than one year old and was sleeping thirsty. He was taken out early in the morning. After being well-behaved for a while, he couldn't help crying.

The nurse coaxed her and then coaxed her, but she didn't help it.

Zhao Jia was frustrated by the quarrel, waved her hand and said to the nurse: "Hurry up and carry it down. The things that the girl raises cannot be used on the table."

Even Cao Xiang and Wu'er said this.

Wu'er was still young and didn't know what. Cao Xiang stood in the hall, lowering his head, his face turned red.

Zhao Jia glanced at the concubine's son and daughter in front of her, and then thought about Cao Yi who was about to return to the sun. The joy in her heart had disappeared, and she felt depressed...

Fangjia Hutong, Duke's Mansion.

Cao Yi and her husband have returned from the house next door. A while ago, Xitara was feeling uncomfortable and had been ill on and off for several months.

The old lady is nearly 70 years old and is already considered a long life. She has finished her birthday after her 60th birthday and put it in Curry and painted it every year.

Everyone thought that the old lady couldn't stand it, and even when several aunts who went out came back, they also reminded their younger brother that their sister-in-law would prepare for their funeral so as not to get enough time and make people laugh.

However, Cao Yi served for several months with a confused manner, and then hired a famous doctor to treat him with multiple measures. This made his mother-in-law feel safe and relieved.

For this, she had a round herself.

Xi Tara saw it, although she didn't say anything, she also thought of her wife's goodness in her heart.

When the female relatives of the same clan saw Cao Yi like this, they only thought she would talk a lot in private to invite fame. However, the male relatives mostly envied Ceshtu's good fortune and married a good wife, which was not only able to borrow the power of the Yue family, but also so virtuous.

Seshtu listened with a smile, but he always felt very upset.

His wife is so virtuous that it sets off a vulgar man, like a sludge. This kind of taste is really not good.

Perhaps because of the holidays and the improvement of my mother's condition, Seshtu's mood was very good today.

Looking at his wife who was dressed in a freshly dressed and slightly dressed in Yanzhi, he also felt pleasing to the eye and asked, "Is it my second brother-in-law here to pick her up? I came back from my eldest brother-in-law at noon and went to give her the fourth brother-in-law farewell and pick her up at your house?"

"Yeah!" Cao Yi nodded and replied, "Then I'll give you my hard work."

When Seshtu left the house, Cao Song also arrived. He first passed the Xitara family and invited his wife to his in-laws. Then he picked up his sister and nephew to go home with him.

Cao Yi's son, nicknamed Shouge, was born in May of the previous year, and he was about to have two birthdays. The little guy's eyebrows are like his father, his little face is round and his forehead is bulging, looking at the treacherous head and mind.

As soon as he arrived at the Cao family, Shouge was hugged by Zhao Jia, which was so rare.

"Did you learn to speak? Call grandma quickly." Zhao Jia smiled and said, holding Shou Ge's little hand.

Brother Shou was not afraid of being angry, but he didn't dare to call people randomly. He looked back at his mother. Seeing his mother nodding, he called out loudly: "Grandma!"

"Hey, it's such a good grandmother's grandson." Zhao Jia became more and more happy. She called people and set up the delicious and fun kang to make Brother Shou happy.

In addition to these, there are small clothes and hats that I prepared early.

Cao Yi had a smile on his face, but he was not intimate. He said lightly: "Mrs. Xie Er has trouble."

After hearing this title, Zhao Jia's smile froze on her face.

Although I didn't expect her to call her "parents", I also added a "second" to "wife". I was still close to the eldest son in front of her, which was really a bit disappointing...

Cao Yi came back to his younger brother. Zhao Jia looked at him and was uncomfortable. After saying a few words, she found a way to take Cao Song and his wife to the East Cluster Courtyard to talk, and called Cao Xiang and Lu Ju to follow him.

Of course, the nurse was carrying it to the East Courtyard.

When he arrived at the Dongqianyuan, Cao Yi asked the maid he brought to hand him a bag and handed it to Cao Xiang, saying, "This is my sister's wish. When you go out, you are not as rich as at home."

Cao Xiang was embarrassed to accept it and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law are already preparing money."

"My brother and sister-in-law's belongs to brother and sister-in-law, and sister's belongs to sister. What are you talking about?" Cao Yi pushed the bag into his arms and said.

Cao Xiang then stopped. Cao Yi crossed Cao Xiang, glanced at the Lu Ju standing behind her, and said, "Since he became a member of the Cao family, he must learn the rules in the future and not lose his composure. Although the Fourth Master is young, he has us brothers and sisters and sisters above him, so he can't tolerate making trouble. Can you remember it?"

Lu Ju lowered her head and responded respectfully, feeling uncomfortable as if she had a ball of cotton in her heart, blocking her chest.

"You are older than your fourth master. In the past few years of your stay, you will have to bother with your care. If you serve well and take good care of yourself, we will be grateful to you. In the future, we will make decisions for you." Seeing her like this, Cao Yi couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted when he thought of her biological mother, and she was kind-hearted and a much gentle tone.

"Well, I have all the instructions from Aunt Lao," Lu Ju's heart was filled with mixed feelings, her eyes were red...

Rehe, palace.

As the Dragon Boat Festival was busy praying for rain, the Dragon Boat Festival was not given a banquet like in previous years. However, the princes, ministers, guards and others on duty felt a lot of the emperor's kindness, that is, the "Nine-Sizi Zongzi" given in the Empress Dowager's harem.

There are many officials in the escort and the number of rice dumplings is limited. How can everyone have a share?

The one with a strong reputation gave a pound of one pound, like a guard and a palace servant in the inner court. It was already good to be able to get a small one.

The princes and princes who came with their entourage gave them a pair of "Jiuzi Zongzi" with their families, and a total of eighteen small ones were small. Younger like the twenty-seventh prince was a "Jiuzi Zongzi".

According to the grades of civil and military officials, some of them are divided into one pound, while others are divided into one pound by several officials in the same yamen.

It wasn't the turn of "Jiuzi Zongzi". Anyway, there were other Zongzis, and no one could miss this bite, but it was a bit less decent.

The Cao family is a unique honor.

Cao Yin and his son are both Jingtang, each of them has one share; Chu Yu is the emperor's granddaughter and Heshuo Princess, and he also has one share, which is nothing, after all, the status of the three of them is there.

The most surprising thing is the reward Li received.

There were not a hundred or eighty women who followed his husband to follow Hu Rehe. I didn’t see anyone with such great decency and received a reward alone. Li was the only one, and it was also a double "Jiuzi Zongzi".

No one cares about the others, such as rare fruits and delicious foods.

Zongzi is a zongzi, and zongzi is not a zongzi.

A total of 9981 pieces of "Nine Zi Zong" were collected, and the Cao family received eight pieces. What a great honor?

The civil and military ministers who received the news were speculated and there were many different opinions.

Although the Cao family has already raised the flag, not a coat of arms, and is not a slave to the emperor, the emperor did not regard the Cao family as an outsider.

With Cao Yong's career development, the Cao family's success is right in front of him.

The Cao family's family is not strong, but Cao Yin's nephews have all taken office one after another. If this lasts forever, who knows whether a "Cao Ban Dynasty" will appear?

I am very excited about my brain, thinking about how to make relationships with the Cao family father and son. My fellow countrymen, the same year, and the same age, were very happy...

Cao Yong was fishing with Jiang Jian and talked about the major issues of people's livelihood. He played chess with Zhiran and made a few nonsense Zen words; or he followed Chu Yu and played Ye Zi Card with Li, and the festival was very pleasant.
