Chapter 197 The father who sells his son and daughter Forty
After getting the news, Mr. Cao asked his housekeeper to make an appointment with all his former subordinates.
He still managed to support his body and went into the palace.
That is to say, because of this entry into the palace, Yao Qiyuan, who was originally assigned a minor official at most, got the official position of the prefect of Changle Prefecture.
Han Wenqing also took advantage of General Cao and was assigned to Qingxi Town as the county magistrate.
The reason why Yao Qiyuan was given such a high official position was because Lord Cao said he was leaving the capital and would spend the remaining days with his granddaughter.
There is no male in their family, and after his death, there will be no one to inherit the Marquis House, so it is better to just break up.
The emperor also asked tentatively, "Why doesn't the Marquis have a child or ask Jia Yun to recruit a son-in-law?"
Mr. Cao Hou smiled weakly, "Jiayun, that child, has fallen in love with Yao Qiyuan. Since the Yao family only has such a boy, I can only let her go."
The fact is that after his death, those who cannot tolerate the Cao family will be eradicated.
But if the Hou Mansion is gone, no one will look at the Cao family anymore, because it has no value.
………
After receiving the appointment letter, a large group of people set off from the Hou Mansion.
The people on the road saw him off one after another, and even presented them with local specialties from home.
"General! Have a pleasant journey!"
"General, take care of yourself."
"General, please go back to the capital to see if you have time..."
The people who saw them off took them three miles outside the city before stopping.
Cao Ding said to his granddaughter with some emotion: "Grandpa has never regretted it in his life. He has a country first and a family later. If the family and country are not protected, there is no peace! Our Cao family is not a country protected by His Majesty.
For the sake of the common people of this land, and also for the future generations..."
"grandfather……"
Cao Jiayun looked at the twilight old man in front of her worriedly, not knowing how to comfort him.
"Haha! It's okay, grandpa. In this life, grandpa will not be sorry for anyone except his family! When grandpa sees you get married, he will have no regrets... ahem."
"Grandpa, stop talking, you will definitely live a long life." Cao Jiayun hurriedly handed warm water to the old man who kept coughing.
"Ahem...Grandpa is fine."
The sound of coughing in the carriage made many people feel heavy.
This time, the Cao family took the housekeeper, wet nurse, grandma in charge, and some elderly people in the house with them!
The maids and servants who were bought in were all sold, leaving behind only the loyal servants and the family's children for many years.
…………
After spending two months on the road, I finally returned to Changle Mansion.
It's just that Cao Ding's health is getting worse and worse, old injuries have recurred, he always has a low fever, and he sleeps drowsily.
The atmosphere in the team was tense all the way. Everyone was afraid that Lord Cao would not be able to survive the day when his granddaughter got married.
Fortunately, when he arrived at Changlefu City, he held on again and could still stay awake.
On the way, he had already sent his confidants to take care of everything.
Cao Ding was helped out of the carriage. His back was hunched, and his hands were trembling slightly as he clung to the person who was supporting him. His gray silver threads were blown by the wind.
He looked up at the big words on the plaque: Cao's Mansion, and sighed with some melancholy and joy: "Yun'er... from now on, this will be your natal family.
Regardless of whether grandpa is here or not, whether your parents are here or not, if your husband treats you badly in the future, come back and come back! The foundation of our family is enough for you to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime..."
"Okay, listen to grandpa." Cao Jiayun choked up.
After all the Cao family members entered the mansion, Yao Qiyuan and the other three left with the new housekeeper of the Cao mansion and went to the government office to complete the replacement procedures.
The current prefect also did not dare to complain.
Those who are resentful, jealous or resentful of the back door have long been removed. The officials who stayed and got promoted all know what it means to be flexible and flexible...
The first thing to do when taking over the position is a big purge.
In order to speed up the process, he also left Han Wenqing and Yao Qiyue to help, and then sent someone to pick up their parents.
When Mrs. Qin learned that Yao Qiyuan wanted to get married as soon as possible, or even early next month, her first reaction was to object. She looked confused: "It's not that my mother is unreasonable, but how can a younger brother get married before his older sister?
Once this happens, what will your sister do? She will be drowned in everyone's spit! Besides, this is not good for the Cao girl.
Gossip does not hurt the flesh, but it can kill the heart!"
People will say that the eldest girl from the Yao family can't get married, and they will say that the girl from the Cao family hates getting married! The eldest sister-in-law in front of me has not yet married, so she is in a hurry to get married.
Due to power, people dare not discuss things face to face, but words behind the scenes are inevitable.
"This..." Yao Qiyuan looked hesitant when it came to his sister.
Yunfei was about to say that the rule is that the dead are alive, but before he could say anything, Yao Qiyue said carelessly: "Then I will get married before them."
???
Qin said she was shocked, "What? Who are you going to marry?"
Aren’t you shocked! How come after a trip to the capital, your two children are about to get married?
A person who got engaged at a young age was somewhat mentally prepared, but why did the silent eldest daughter also find her uncle for them?
"Is it the Young Master of the Han family?"
Even Yunfei was not sure, because when Han Wenqing stayed at their house before, he did not see any private communication between the two.
Every time we talk or meet... Yao Qiyuan is always present.
Thinking of this, Yunfei turned his attention to Yao Qiyuan. This sister and friend came together under his nose. Does his son know?
Yao Qiyuan understood from his father's look, "Dad... I know this. Brother Han is a good person. If he wasn't a good match, his son would not let him have contact with his sister.
If he betrays his eldest sister in the future, his son will definitely not be able to spare him! Besides, Brother Han said that it is not impossible for him to come as a son-in-law."
"Then Tuantuan also told him about the marriage? For this marriage, at least we have to make an appointment first, right?"
Yao Qiyue had been leaning against the column in the room. Hearing this, he turned around and walked away, "It's okay. I'll go and tell him first, Mom and Dad."
…………
Han Wenqing, who was immersed in helping his friend sort out the files, didn't know whether to be confused or excited.
Happiness comes too suddenly.
After he came to his senses, he immediately dropped the file and said, "Tuan Tuan! You wait for me for two days, and I promise to prepare the betrothal gift and so on. Remember to wait for me!"
The scholar, who had always maintained his grace, actually picked up his obstructive robe and ran away from the government office.
In front of the future wife, the brother-in-law’s affairs must of course be put aside!
Yao Qiyue was very satisfied with this, so she just said so! There is no need for the whole family to be in a dilemma for such a simple matter!
