Li, why don't you hurry up and arrange a place for us? "

It was only then that Cao Jinxiu thought of asking them why they came: "What are you doing in the capital this time?"

Cao Ning said: "Now that He Hongwen is an imperial physician, he must know many noble people. Mother asked me and my fifth brother to come to him and find an errand for us."

Cao Jinxiu wondered how could He Hongwen be willing to do such a thing, not to mention that he was quiet and didn't like to socialize with others, so he probably didn't have any noble people who could talk to him.If it makes sense, he might not be as good as Zong Chuling... She felt a jump in her heart, and quickly suppressed it, with a look of reluctance on her face: "He has only been released as a doctor for two years. Not busy."

Cao Yu was not well educated, and he didn't care about his sister's face, so he said, "He hasn't said whether to help or not, third sister, what are you doing in the way? You can't have children, and the benefits of this family will not fall to you anyway." On the head, if you don’t earn some for us and leave it to his children, what good will it do you?”

Cao Jinxiu stood up angrily: "Fifth Brother! You...you..." Tears rolled down, "You...get out!"

Seeing her angry, Cao Ning thought that he had nothing in his pocket, so he hurriedly smoothed things over: "The fifth brother said something wrong, don't be as knowledgeable as him." Seeing that his sister's face looked a little better, he said again: "Mother told you to remind aunt, there is a suitable Tell the fifth child about your marriage. Be sure to show the family status, so that it will be helpful in the future."

Cao Jinxiu said slowly that she didn't have any guests at all, and she didn't see any female relatives, even if she really knew any good woman, how could she marry someone like her younger brother who was not the least bit dignified?Cao Jinxiu said bitterly: "You go and tell your aunt that I don't care!" She turned around and went inside.

Cao Ning and Cao Yu stared wide-eyed, thinking that Cao Jinxiu had left them here, sat there for a long time, and was about to bite the bullet and go in to find her, when suddenly a pretty girl came out and saluted: "Here The next quarters of the two young masters are ready, and the servants will take the two young masters there."

Cao Ning and Cao Yu hurriedly got up and followed the girl, and they felt relieved when they smelled the fragrance of powder on her body, and thought that if they lived here for a long time, they might as well invite Cao Jinxiu to serve this girl.

Cao Jinxiu was angry with his brothers and cried all night, but he couldn't really let them go.The next day, after freshening up, he was planning to ask them about the situation at home. Mother He had already sent someone to invite them. It turned out that Chu Heng had already reported the Cao brothers' coming to Beijing.Cao Jinxiu hurriedly took the two brothers there by car, Cao Ning was fine with it, Cao Yu felt that the house was more tidy than her sister's, and each girl was more delicate than the other, and she felt itchy, thinking: "It's a pity that the third sister is incompetent." , how about buying a big house like this at home, with a few rooms like this, wouldn't it be uncomfortable."

When they arrived at Maoxuan Hall, Mother He felt uncomfortable seeing the wretched appearance of the two nephews.He also asked about his mother's situation at home, and was even more sad.Cao Ning said that he came here specially to see his aunt, and then he asked for an errand and married Cao Yu. Mother He was also very pondering, but she still agreed.He left them for lunch and told them to stay at Cao Jinxiu's place. After seeing them off, he sent someone to call his daughter-in-law.

After hearing her mother-in-law's words, Chu Heng wondered: "If the two young masters are knowledgeable, you can still inquire about recommending a teacher; since the wife said that they can't study well, and the second young master is a gambler, we may help them find one. What kind of errand?"

Mother He is also very worried, but they are the nephews of the first relatives, and they have come all the way, so they can't be ignored.He said: "I have no idea, for my sake, you should cook for them at least."

Chu Heng couldn't help but push back immediately, so he could only respond: "When my husband comes back, ask him."

When He Hongwen came back, he felt dizzy when he heard about it.The scene of these cousins ​​beating him is still vivid, not because he holds grudges, but because he knows that these people have long since lost their status as officials' children, and no matter where they are recommended, if they cause trouble .But his mother persuaded him again and again, saying, "If they are promising, at least it will save your aunt from looking for you again." He Hongwen had no choice but to agree first, and went back to the room to worry about Chu Heng, not knowing where to start. .

Although Chu Heng didn't see those two people, after hearing what He Hongwen said, he already knew it in his heart.Last year, the money collected from various farm shops was only more than 2 taels. Excluding the Chinese New Year and buying flowers in other courtyards, the rest is calculated. Although my mother’s debts are not in a hurry to pay back, it is not cheap at the moment. After leaving Cao's house, he returned it to his natal family, and Mother He would have nothing to give it to his nephew.But in front of He's mother, she gave Cao Jinxiu an extra three taels of silver every month as the expenses of the Cao family brothers, and asked people to make clothes for the Cao family brothers. He's mother was very satisfied, so she no longer worried about these two things. My nephew's Huayong only reminded his son every now and then.

Here Cao Ning and Cao Yu lived in Cao Jinxiu's place, wandering here and there when they had nothing to do, they would inevitably go to the Golden Cave.But how could Cao Jinxiu have such financial resources, so she cried and cursed in anger.Her two brothers were not easy to get along with, and they were too slow to agree on one word, and they blamed her incompetently for not being able to get the money from the He family; Grandma, it’s better than you.” Cao Jinxiu said angrily, “My family has a house and land, and my brothers and sisters have official positions. She is the only one who borrows money from her mother’s family. How can her mother’s family come to ask for money? If I have such a mother’s family , I don’t need to be angry like this.” Cao Ning said: “If we have that kind of ability, we still come to see your face? If we hadn’t redeemed you, you would still be beaten and scolded by the court in that thousand households. Is there a day like this? You don't say you are grateful, but you still grin at us, what are you pretending to be like!" Cao Jinxiu was so angry that she fainted, but she couldn't help the two brothers, so she had to secretly ask He's mother for money, and just said It is their own envoy to find a way out.

Mother He gave ten taels of silver, and turned around to tell his daughter-in-law. Chu Heng frowned and said, "It's no way for them to bump into someone, and I heard from the people below that these two young masters often go to places that can't be said." The steward of the long room also saw it once. My wife should also ask, spending money is still a trivial matter, and if you get some illnesses, it will be difficult for your wife to see your aunt." Mother He was so angry that she asked the boy to clarify, and called Cao Brother Ning came to scold.Seeing that Cao Ning couldn't help it, he said that he was looking for someone, and said: "It's normal to have one, and we haven't brought any family members, so it shouldn't be so wasteful?" He was so angry that his mother could not get up and fainted .When Chu Heng heard the news, he hurriedly asked someone to take the Cao family brothers away, and rushed to the mother-in-law's house by himself, and it took half a day to save him.Seeing that Cao Jinxiu just kept crying, she couldn't help scolding: "Just cry here! Who made your wife angry like this, you just listen to their nonsense!" Cao Jinxiu cried: "If I can listen to them, I've said it earlier. My aunt was so angry that I had to pay my life here." Mother He also interceded for Cao Jinxiu: "Jin'er has a gentle temper, so please listen to her brothers and sisters, and don't blame her. "Chu Heng didn't bother to pay attention to them, and said: "There is a saying here: He family has been a scholar for generations, and no children have ever spent money in Fengyuechang. If there is such a thing again, I dare not take money from the He family. Go to pay the fireworks debt. Besides, the long room also knows about the two cousins ​​going to the brothel, if the old lady asks, the daughter-in-law will not dare to prevaricate."

Mother He lost her mind, so Cao Jinxiu quietly begged Mother He to tell her about her younger brother's marriage first.Mother He had no choice but to ask Chu Heng again, and Chu Heng said: "Uncle is dismissed after all, and the two young masters have no serious business, who has a daughter who is willing to give it? Yes, I am afraid that she is also ugly and disabled. I'm afraid that my aunt will not like it again." Mother He begged the eldest wife of the He family, and the eldest wife even refused to contribute to He Hongwen's marriage, let alone the son of the Cao family, and immediately declined: "I am not very old now. Seeing guests will not delay the affairs of younger siblings." Mother He couldn't get off the tiger, which added to her worries, and she fell into an old disease.

Cao Jinxiu harbors ghosts every day, fearing that the two brothers will do some absurd things, and she will be punished by Mrs. He if she gets involved.However, the two brothers were never quiet, they didn't go to Huajie just a few days ago, they made trouble at home, and Ruhua went to send them lamps and candles, and they would be frivolous if they did not go to Huajie.Cao Jinxiu was so panicked that she almost knelt down for that picturesque, and only then did she beg her not to throw herself into the well.To scold the two brothers, the two of them disappeared in a flash when they saw the incident, and they didn't return all night, and they didn't know where to go for fun.Cao Jinxiu provoked the two gods of plague for no reason, and was so angry that she lay on the bed and cried all night. The next day, her body became hot and she couldn't get up when lying on the bed.

In the evening, listening to the pattering rain outside, I felt a little more desolate in my heart.At this moment, Yusi came in and said, "The eldest young master is here."

Cao Jinxiu was lying in the tent, hearing the sound of boots, knowing that it was Zong Chuyu who had come in, sobbing more and more.Zong Chulu was stunned, and Huang Nanny explained: "My aunt has a fever, and I think it's very uncomfortable at the moment, please ask the young master in-law to be troubled, and let's take a look."

Zong Chulu took his pulse and said, "I think I'm annoyed." But he didn't say much, and wrote the prescription himself.Cao Jinxiu had been thinking about it for a while, but at this moment, she couldn't hold back, and wept with shame: "Master Zong, I...I have one thing I want to entrust to you."

Huang Nanny frowned outside the tent, but Cao Jinxiu had already said it, and she couldn't stop her anymore, so she had to hold back her breath and listen.Zong Chulu was a little surprised, and replied, "What's the matter?"

"My two brothers from my natal family are here." Cao Jinxiu sat up on the bed and said in a low voice, "Master Zong knows that my father has been dismissed... Now that the family has no livelihood, they have to come here and want to trust my aunt Find a way out with my cousin. Unexpectedly, this month has come, and my cousin has no clue... I want to ask my in-laws to help me pay attention... If you can save
