After Mrs. Cao finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, and then continued: "As you know, Brother Zhuo didn't have two fiancées before, and now this one is gone. From now on, this matter..."
At the end of the sentence, Mrs. Cao gave a helpless smile: "The old lady loves Brother Zhuo the most. When something like this happened, Brother Zhuo himself was free and easy, but the old lady couldn't stand the stimulation and collapsed on the spot.
Then I couldn't get sick, and it's been till now."
When Mrs. Cao mentioned the old lady's illness, she expressed a lot of worry in her words.
Dong Nuan couldn't guess for a moment what she was worried about.
Are you really worried about the old lady, or are you worried about what will happen if the old lady dies?
After all, the Dayue Dynasty had Ding You's theory.
If the old lady is gone, the grandchildren will be fine. But for the next generation, the court is not strict about this. Under normal circumstances, half a year to a year is enough.
But, for sons, such as Master Cao and Magistrate Cao of Liangzhou, I am afraid it will take Ding You three years.
Three years later, although theoretically the officer was reinstated.
But, during the three-year gap, someone has already taken the previous position. If they want to go back, how easy will it be?
However, there are some things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Moreover, Dong Nuan was not sure whether Mrs. Cao was worried about this, so she naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Regarding Cao Zhuo's luck, Dong Nuan sighed helplessly. Regarding Mrs. Cao, she always had to look a little sad on her face: "I'll go see my grandma. If she rests, I'll take a look from a distance. Don't look at her."
I feel uneasy after all.”
Hearing what Dong Nuan said, Mrs. Cao took her hand and said softly: "I know you are a pure and filial child. Let's watch it quietly. The old lady can't stand the excitement. Occasionally, new people come to the house.
, or if there is too much noise, she will lose her temper. If she wakes up for a while and she makes a fuss, don't take it to heart. She is either targeting you or she hasn't seen you for a long time."
"No." In response, Dong Nuan smiled nonchalantly.
The two people soon returned to Mrs. Cao's yard.
Although the maids and servants are cleaning up every day, it's just that it's hot today, and there is still a smell in the house of an old man who is almost paralyzed on the bed.
And because the old lady had a volatile temper, she didn't even dare to order strong spices in the room.
Even without incense, the smell cannot be dispelled. In fact, it is much better now. When July is hot, the smell in this room will make the old lady lose her temper every time she wakes up and smells it.
However, there is no wind in summer, and ventilation does not play a big role.
In addition, the old lady had just fallen ill and was worried about the future, so she had a bad temper. Coupled with her bad temper, she almost lost her temper at every turn.
Now I probably accept my fate and don't lose my temper so much.
When the winter warmth passed, Mrs. Cao was sleeping.
"The old lady just drank the medicine and fell asleep." When the maid spoke, she always used a very soft voice.
Dong Nuan also discovered that the maids and servants in the yard always stood on their toes slightly when walking, so that the sound of walking could be smaller.
"Eternal God Emperor"
"Then don't bother the old lady to rest." When Mrs. Cao heard that the old lady was resting, she had no intention of disturbing her.
After all, the warmth of winter has not returned for a long time, which is really exciting and inevitably leads to another tantrum.
After all, throwing and beating doesn't look good, and it can easily scare Dong Nuan.
Dongnuan's current status is different from that of the past.
The uncle and the princess...
Mrs. Cao began to feel a bit of awe unconsciously.
Therefore, she tried her best to avoid things that could irritate Dong Nuan or make Dong Nuan unhappy.
To be honest, Madam Cao felt relieved when the old lady fell asleep.
Dong Nuan didn't know that Mrs. Cao had so many thoughts in her heart. She came here to go through the process and didn't really care about Mrs. Cao.
It was even said that Dong Nuan had never thought about using his original power for the other party.
After all, Dong Nuan still cares about the other party's indifference towards Zheng in the winter before last.
It is true that Dong Nuan understands that it is probably a microcosm of this era, and maybe every household is in that situation.
However, Dongnuan doesn't want to accept it, nor does she want to accept it.
In the beginning, Mrs. Zheng's life and death depended on her life, and now the old lady does the same.
Dong Nuan did not say in frustration when the other party fell ill: The reincarnation of good and evil was her last act of mercy.
It was not easy to disturb Mrs. Cao here, so Mrs. Cao took Dong Nuan to the main hall to drink tea.
In the evening, Mr. Cao came back, and the other party took Dong Nuan and talked for a while.
Mr. Cao is not without worries.
If the old lady dies, as the eldest son, he will definitely have to worry about it.
When the time comes, he is not sure what it will be like to return to officialdom after observing mourning at home for three years.
Although there was a concubine in the palace, there were too many changes in three years.
The beauties in the harem may have changed more than once, so Master Cao must be doing his best to seize all the connections and power he can.
The warm winter is his biggest support now, or in other words, he relies on it.
The warmth of winter is still there, and Your Majesty will remember them all in the Cao Mansion.
Therefore, the little girl must be coaxed.
Moreover, Dong Nuan is now an uncle, so his attitude towards him is different.
In addition, Mr. Cao still wants something more.
Dong Nuan could clearly see the change in Mr. Cao's attitude. They were all smart people and they were members of their own family. There was a lot to say and there was no need to say more. Everything was said without saying anything.
With just a few exchanges of glances, they already understood what the other person was thinking.
The Cao family had indeed shown kindness to protect each other, and Dong Nuan would never forget this.
Again, Dong Nuan was capable, but at the beginning she did not have enough confidence and capital to protect this capability.
The Cao family was not greedy for merit at that time, and in turn protected Dong Nuan's feelings, which Dong Nuan always remembered.
Therefore, if Mrs. Cao is really dying, if everyone in the Cao family wants to come back three years later, she will remember this.
Not for anything else, but for Cao Xinyao, she had to pull everyone in the Cao Mansion up.
How difficult it is for a little girl to marry in a place as far away as Dingzhou and be alone.
If the mother's family is in decline, there may be something going on in the husband's family!
Thinking of this, Dong Nuan felt that Mrs. Cao might as well live a long life.
After all, she is quite useful.
However, this kind of thing depends on fate.
Dong Nuan had a grudge against her original words and deeds, so Dong Nuan would not interfere in her affairs.
However, she would not leave the Cao Mansion alone.
Because Dong Nuan returned home, everyone in Cao Cheng also came back in the evening.
According to Mrs. Cao, Cao Feng returned to the Imperial College to study at the beginning of this year.
As for the little girl, she was brought to Liangzhou by Mrs. Cao Er to raise her.
