Chapter 831: "Making Fame" (Part 1)

Dongzhimen, Li’s House.

Li Cheng felt a little confused when he heard Kou'er telling the story of Sun's house. He really didn't expect that his uncle would be so stupid that he beat his wife and whip him for a newly acquired concubine, which was unkind and unkind.

But he forgot that it was his idea to scare Sun Jue that it would not take Xia Chan back to Sun's house.

Now, not only the Cao family, but also the Duke's Mansion of Ping County Prince and the Duke's Mansion have been alarmed. I am afraid that this matter will not be good. I heard that the second and third girls of the Cao family are all very powerful. If they take their anger on Xia Chan, they will investigate...

Thinking of this, Li Cheng became more and more uneasy.

"How about my uncle's side in the past few days? Have you even gone to the Cao family?" Li Cheng asked with his head up.

"My uncle hasn't returned to the house for three days, and the servants there are no elderly people from the Sun family. I don't know what the situation is now. But yesterday, I followed Sister Chen to Sun's house to get daily necessities and asked a few questions from the woman in charge, and then I probably knew more about it." Kou'er replied.

"How is my aunt injured? Where is my cousin?" Li Cheng asked with a frown.

"At that time, my uncle was angry that my uncle and grandma were obviously very angry. My uncle and grandma and his cousin were all whipped... I was so scared that I didn't know where I was injured, but I just saw it red." Kou'er said, still scared and said.

Li Cheng was really gritting his teeth when he heard this.

If the Cao family is angry and checks Xia Chan, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, it will be necessary to mix the Li family in.

My grandfather also regarded the Cao family as a reliance. If he completely offended the Cao family, the previous 9,000 taels of silver would be worth the loss.

Although he was a little clever, he was young and didn't know what to do for a while. He felt restless and waved to Kou'er, saying, "I know everything. You go back first, look at Xia Chan, and come back to report the news if you have any news."

Kou'er originally wanted to ask how long he would have to stay outside, but seeing that Li Cheng's face was not good, he didn't dare to ask, so he leaned over and responded and retreated.

Otherwise, I would let someone take Xia cicadas and hide them to the village outside the city?

But is it more conspicuous to take action at this time? If the Cao family did not pay attention to Xia Chan, it would instead alarm the snake.

Li Cheng thought so hard that his mind hurt. He sat on the chair for a while and called out, "Please ask the butler, please ask the butler..."

I don’t know if it’s because of the Zhongyuan Festival, but the heat in the room has disappeared, Li Cheng just feels chilly all over...

Three days are not long or short.

Cheng Mengxian was already concerned about the Sun family, and Cao Ying also received news the next day when something happened to him. Because he was a spy in the house, he didn't know the news about the Sun family in detail. By the time someone found out, it was already three days later.

Cheng Mengxian had already decided to finish the matter and could relieve the trouble in the Cao family as soon as possible, but because of the involvement of the Li family, he was still looking for a proper way.

After all, the Li family is in Jiangnan, and even in order to make friends with the Cao family, they cannot break up with the Li family.

However, Sun Jue offended both Cao and Li families and could only attack him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mengxian sighed as she listened to the cicadas from the trees outside the study...

Cao family, Dongfu.

After several days of treatment, the wounds behind Cao Ying had already scabbed, and her bird's nest was repaired all day long, and her face improved a lot. Although she was bleeding a lot, she was all skin trauma and was not seriously injured.

However, Sun Li was injured by a kick and his heart was needed to be treated for some time.

From the day Cao Ying woke up, he stayed by his son's bed, insisted on taking care of him after taking medicine, and was willing to go back to his room to rest after falling asleep. No one could persuade him.

Sun Li was thirteen years old and was already half a young adult. Seeing her mother taking care of herself like a child, her face was so embarrassing that she was blushing. But seeing her pale face and red and swollen eyes, she was unwilling to go against her wishes.

Cao Yi and Jinghui originally wanted to advise her to take good care of her, but when she saw that her injuries were indeed fine, she would not stop her. The main reason was that she was afraid that she would calm down and would think about it.

After all, for any woman, it is a big hurdle now.

After Sun Jue came to Hu Jue that day, Cao Yi asked Cao Yong privately how he wanted to solve his elder sister's affairs.

Looking at Cao Ying's appearance of his children, he could not stand it either "separate" or "divorce" or "divorce" as "Yi Jue", not only did he break the relationship between the two surnames, but he also had a bad reputation for Sun Li and Sun Xian.

Cao Yong means "to separate the family and live in another place". However, after informing Zhaojia, Cao Ying's office also needs to ask the right thing.

In wealthy families, if the husband and wife are incompatible and the husband is not allowed to divorce his wife, there are elders who make decisions and separate family members like brothers who separate family members. However, in this way, the wife is mostly at a disadvantage. Although she can be purified, she is equivalent to losing her husband, living a life of widows, sing vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name, and taking care of her children; as husbands, they have a new love and live in another place.

Just for the sake of the word "legal", the mistress who is qualified to participate in family social engagements is the legitimate wife who is recognized by the family. Other concubines, even if they are favored by their husbands, will be on the table.

After hearing this, Cao Yi agreed with his brother's idea.

If you can live apart, Cao Ying has the final say and there is no need to look at Sun Jue's little man's expression.

But the eldest sister is only in her early thirties, and she is like a widow in the future, which is also a pity.

Seeing his sister's expression depressed, Cao Yong said, "Sun Jue is just a villain who is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. It's up to you whether the eldest sister is happy. His doctor will not be able to be a doctor for long. At that time, he may have to go back to Hangzhou. If the eldest sister makes up her mind, separate from him and stay in the capital, we can also take care of him. If the eldest sister has other ideas, then we can only be powerful and settle the accounts with the Sun family..."

Cao Yi wanted to serve his mother-in-law and raise children, but he couldn't live without her. After Cao Ying woke up, he stayed with him for another half a day before he went back to his house.

Cao Jia did not come here in person, but Prince Fafuxiu sent two boxes of ginseng over and sent a message to Cao Yong, asking Cao Yong to go through the Prince's Mansion before leaving the city.

Cao Jia was annoyed by Sun Jue's ruthlessness, but she did not advocate "harmony" or "righteousness".

For nothing else, they can't stand the reputation of the Cao family. The older brothers and sisters like them have nothing to do, but they just listen to a few gossips when they are socializing. The fourth sister and Wuer will be in the talent show in a few years, and the old sister's gossip will affect their lifelong life.

Cao Jia knew that his younger brother was the most protective of his shortcomings. He was afraid that he would be angry and broke up with the Sun family, so he specially sent a message to remind him of this.

Cao Yong received news in Changping that day. He was indeed thinking of "righteousness" and "harmony", but when Chu Yu reminded him, he also cared about his fourth sister and fifth one. In addition to his nephew and niece, Cao Yong thought of passing Sun Wencheng first to complete the procedures for "separating the birth and living separately", and then slowly dealt with Sun Jue to vent his anger for Cao Ying.

Seeing that Cao Yong knew something, Cao Jia felt relieved and said, "By the way, a few days ago, my cousin came to pay his respects and brought his uncle's handwritten letter, saying that he wanted to ask for personal favors and recommended his nephew to your brother-in-law to make up for a post. I only said that I had asked your brother-in-law, but I hadn't let it go."

"Huh?" Cao Yong was a little surprised and said, "Isn't my cousin running for office? Why didn't my uncle think of a solution for him, but instead recommended a nephew?"

Cao Jia said, "Although my uncle has given me an old child, I am a little older. It's a big deal. Whether I can stand still is a big deal. Both old ladies and uncle are old, how can I let my cousin go to the battlefield? Besides, my uncle has never been a test of the emperor's wishes when he asked his cousin to Beijing. When the emperor ordered people to build a weaving house, he could have said that he ordered the officials of the weaving house to live forever. As a result, only our family, grandfather and father inherited the weaving house and lived for decades. Even though he moved north later, the Interior Affairs Office not only transferred all the items in the mansion to the Cao family, but also gave the property subsidy. My uncle was 70 years old, and I was afraid that he was waiting for the emperor's grace and wanted his cousin to inherit his father's business."

Cao Yong sneered twice when he heard this.

Still want to "son inherit his father's business"? I'm afraid it's a grasshopper after autumn and can't jump for two days.

"Sister, can my brother-in-law use that nephew of the Li family?" Cao Yong asked.

"Yes. Not to mention anything else, even my uncle has been filial to the mansion here for more than ten years. Your brother-in-law has to sell this face to him." Cao Jia thought for a while and said.

"Eight thousand taels?" Cao Yong frowned and said, "Even my sister and brother-in-law are eight thousand. I guess the eighth prince and ninth prince's side will be several times higher."

"That is, my uncle is also a salt inspector, otherwise he would not be able to make up all his favors. I heard that my cousin sent Bing Jing from more than 40 families to Beijing this time. This is really eye-catching. If it weren't for this, no one would have deliberately stuck him and let him not get enough." Cao Jia said.

"Sister, to be honest, why can't the emperor treat his uncle well with his father? He still suffers himself. He always wants to hug his thighs, but forgot that a serious master is watching him. Two months ago, he made a decision on his mother's head and said he wanted to take her back, but I stopped her. I have already told her that if it's for her children, it's better to have a weak relationship with her." Cao Yong said.

Cao Jia nodded with a smile and said, "My brother is right. Even a real rich man and a wealthy family dare not be so arrogant, let alone, the gifts given by his uncle are all made from the salt road. He is also confused. He takes the emperor's silver and goes to the capital to give favors. How can the emperor like him?"

Due to Cao Jia's identity, the ladies from the Prince's Mansion were all from the clan's palace. They were all playful with others all day long and had the most insightful vision.

Cao Yong was convinced by this sister and told him about Li Cheng's design for Sun Jue to "buy a concubine" a few days ago.

Cao Jia heard this and was stunned for a while, sighed, "I really didn't expect that my cousin, such an old man, would give birth to such a thing! Before the hair was full, she was full of her mind. But her heart was dark enough. Sun Jue was his uncle and didn't talk about any kind of affection. Sun Jue also claimed to be a disciple of Confucius and read books in his dog's belly. After being an official in Beijing for many years, he couldn't even see through this little Taoist practice. This is just a calculation of his money, or his nephew, and his subordinates' affection. If others plotted on his life, even if he had nine lives, it would not be enough to lose it."

Cao Yong said, "Anyway, I only think of these few I saw. I don't care about other relatives. I also hope that my sister will be far away from the Li family to avoid being implicated in the future. Sun Jue, let's wait for a while. If God does not have 'retribution', then we must also have to worry. We can't let him bully the Cao family like this."

Cao Jia nodded and said, "I hate it too. I got the news that night and rushed to my elder sister's house. When I saw the elder sister and my nephew, I thought that if I saw him, I would definitely find a son to beat him halfway. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, I didn't see anyone, I would get him cheap. I didn't think of his frivolous appearance. It was obviously my father who brought the Sun family, but it seemed that our descendants of the Cao family had received the favor of the Sun family. They were just a fifth-rank doctor, so they shouted at the elder sister all day long. My wife collected one room after another. What's the matter? It's better to take off his top, and always reminded the Sun family so that they would forget that their elder sister and their mother's family...

But he said that he had left the Li family, looked back at the gate of Li's house, looked down at the clothes he was wearing, and sighed in his heart.

I really don't know when I will make it through.

She asked her name "Ku'er" and the name of the Li family was "Caiping". She served Li Cheng with another maid "Yunting". Although she was not old, she was considered an old man around Li Cheng. My mother was the head-on in the mansion and was raised by wealth and wealth since she was young.

After a half month staying outside the Sun family, Sun Jue was not a generous person, and the money left behind was limited. The manager and the chef were not from the Sun family, but the short-term workers signed, so he naturally had to deduct money hard.

As a result, this group of food and clothes are just face-saving things. It seems that it’s okay, and it’s in the mouth and wearing it around it, it’s impossible to compare with the Li family’s.

Although Cai Ping is smart, she has never suffered any hardships. Thinking of the hard days of the past half month, her brows frowned.

He was afraid that someone would be tracked and did not dare to hire a car. When he walked to the front door, the girl was already panting.

Looking at the restaurants and wineries on both sides, while smelling the aroma of the food, Caiping couldn't help it. She found a clean restaurant and went in to ask for some meat and vegetables.

After spending half a month with Xia Chan, she pretended to be a little maid in front of her, but Xia Chan didn't dare to really call her. She treated her like a little sister and talked about her younger brother for nothing.

Sun Jue didn't come for three days, and Xia Chan was frightened all day long. She went back to Sun's house for half a day and heard several concubines mention that their grandmother's house was prominent, for fear that something would affect her, and she would not eat well or sleep well, so she lost weight.

Cai Ping would not admit that she was greedy. After coming out of the restaurant, she looked at the oil paper bag in her hand, thinking that she would advise Xia Chan to use more anyway.

If she doesn't gain weight, how can she get pregnant? Only when Xia Chan has a body can her chore at the Sun family be finished.

This place is far away from Li's house, so there are fewer concerns, so Cai Ping stopped a mule cart and hired a cart for transportation.

As soon as I entered the entrance of the alley, I heard the noise in front of me.

"Could it be that the Cao family came here?" Cai Ping had a ghost in her heart, so she quickly lifted the curtain and looked around.

I saw that outside the Sun family's house, several carriages were parked, surrounded by people, and blocked the road.

Cai Ping turned her face in shock and wanted to turn around and return to the Li family immediately, but she thought that the news had not been found, so she didn't dare to do so.

She squeezed out a little laugh and said to the man who was driving the car: "Uncle, my family has to pass through this alley before we get there. I just made a meal for my grandma. I saw that it was cold and I was going to be scolded when I got home. Please ask the uncle for help, what was wrong with it? I can see if I can squeeze and let the mule cart pass by, so that we can take a detour." As he spoke, he took out a dozen copper coins and stuffed them into the man's chain.

The man also likes to watch the fun. He heard the sharp voice of a woman from the crowd in front of him, and he stretched his neck to look at her.

Hearing the little guest's words, it was exactly what he thought. He stopped the mule cart, took his hand, and squeezed forward, but the front was tightly surrounded.

At this time, an old lady came out of the crowd and sighed while walking. The coachman stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened? The alley was blocked? The guests in my car were urging me to rush to get on the way. I'll ask."
