Ah Sheng stepped into his father's yard for the first time.

There are evergreen trees like pines and cypresses planted on both sides of the path. They are not tall, but they are graceful with the unique coldness of the host.The style is unique in Fuchu.Ah Sheng suddenly realized the reason why his grandfather asked her to come here.Although Cao Song did not fulfill her duties as a father, neither she nor her elder brother took the initiative to get close to this father.

Grandpa didn't care as much about the birth of the third son Cao De as he said.He was also afraid that Cao Song would not be able to separate his father and son in the future, so he sent A Sheng to improve the relationship with his father.

Cao Song's father is too ordinary, there is nothing outstanding.Aside from his relatively short political vision and doting on concubines, Ah Sheng couldn't find any vivid and specific impressions.However, these two points are not a good impression.

Father's study is rather messy.

There are wooden boards, carving knives, and bamboo slips on the shelves and tables, and the lighting is not as good as that of Meiyuan, so it looks relatively simple.The incense burner and candlesticks are all made of copper, but there is a multi-treasure stand inlaid with gold and jade, shining in the corner.

……

It ruins the overall style. Hey.

Cao Song looked up from behind the table, and saw a three-headed little Douding standing at the door looking in curiously.He froze for a moment, but he couldn't say a single serious word when facing the face that was five points similar to his own.

"Ruyi, why are you here?"

Ah Sheng grinned: "Bring delicious food to father."

"...Bring it in."

So Ah Sheng stepped into the room.Cao Song casually made a space on the table for copper tableware.A plate of six small buns, a bowl of white and tender tofu nao, and several dishes of seasonings: vinegar, sauce and syrup.

A Sheng smiled and climbed onto his father's lap, pointed to the seasoning and said, "Douhua, some people like salty ones, while others like sweet ones. I don't know my father's taste, so I brought both sauce and zhejiang. Vinegar sauce It’s a new one, I’ve changed the recipe, father, is it clearer than the original one? It’s best eaten with steamed buns.”

Cao Song's upper body was stiff.He hadn't had a meal with the child in his arms yet, although he often saw Ah Sheng sitting on Cao Teng's lap acting like a baby, but no matter how many times he saw it, it was never as good as practicing it once.He supported his second child's back with his left hand to prevent her from falling, and took a small meat bun with chopsticks in his right hand, dipped it in vinegar and took a bite.

"It's not only clear, but also fragrant. It's better than Deng's vinegar."

The Deng family is probably a well-known family.

Cao Song finished the first bun in two mouthfuls, and then picked up the second one and fed it to Ah Sheng.Ah Sheng quickly covered his mouth: "I ate at my grandfather's."

Cao Song: "Eat! You always eat less. Look at you, and look at your elder brother. They were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. It seems that they are more than two years old."

Ah Sheng said in his heart, I am an adult psychologically, and I stop eating when I am eight percent full. It's not like little Geely brother reincarnated with a starving ghost who keeps talking when he is full.But she was no match for Cao Song's strength, her mouth was already stuffed with noodles, so Ah Sheng had no choice but to take a bite.A quarter of the steamed stuffed bun was gone, and the oily gravy dripped from the corner of her mouth, which made her yelp "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

The youngest daughter made a fool of himself, but Cao Song relaxed, found an empty plate and put the remaining half of the buns down. "Remember, this is yours, and you will finish it later." Even though the gravy stained Ah Sheng's skirt, he mixed the tofu with syrup and started drinking.

Ah Sheng managed to swallow the meat and noodles in his mouth. "Father is sweet, but mother is salty."

Cao Song sneered: "She doesn't have any preferences. She thinks Zhejiang is expensive and extravagant. If you eat Zhe, you will be happy."

Zhejiang is syrup, the product of boiling sugarcane juice in the south. The color and texture are like semi-finished brown sugar.After Ah Sheng found sugarcane in the storeroom, he asked his grandfather about it, and he realized that syrup is a top luxury item in this era. Get a small portion.Before Ah Sheng arrived, everyone drank sweet water directly with syrup, and it was only in the past two months that syrup was used as a seasoning.

Naturally, some people are not used to it, such as Ding Shi, who thinks that adding sucrose to tofu brain is more excessive than sprinkling gold powder into tofu brain.The sweet ones can be replaced by honey. Although honey is also a luxury, most rich people can afford it anyway.However, Ah Sheng firmly stopped her, because eating honey and soy products together is easy to cause diarrhea.

After Cao Song finished the tofu nao, he was satisfied and continued to feed Asheng steamed buns.Ah Sheng was making a new evaluation of this father in his heart:

Every time Cao Song appears in public, he is always respectful and follows the rules. He looks as cautious as Ding, but in private he is a person who likes to enjoy informality, so it is no wonder that he can't get along with Ding.But he is not a hard-hearted person, Asheng could tell from the day when he was afraid of hurting Ding Shi's stomach, even though he was furious, he had to let Ding Shi hug his thigh tightly.It is nonsense to say that Cao Song cruelly murdered his wife and son, or that his sweetheart was bitter through conspiracy and tricks.

Good, can't talk about it; bad, can't talk about it either.Just such a person.

After snacks, we can talk about business.Ah Sheng still wanted to talk about something serious, she wanted to know what her father, the future patriarch, thought about girls meddling in government affairs.

"My mother is about to give birth, but she is restless. I am very worried."

Cao Song frowned, followed Ah Sheng's back with his left hand, and wrote with his right hand. "What happened to her?"

"There are rumors in the mansion that my elder brother will not survive if he offends Mr. Liang, and I am a girl again. In the future, the title and family property will fall on the third younger brother's head. So my mother insists on giving birth to a younger brother."

Cao Song also seemed to be losing his temper because of Ding: "It turns out that she went to the witch doctor a few days ago to ask for a child. I almost thought that there was going to be a witch doctor at home, so I scolded her."

"Eh?" Ah Sheng lowered his head and pondered, whether it's rumors or complaining about witchcraft to Cao Song, she wouldn't believe it if it wasn't Zhang's handwriting.It was calm before, but after giving birth to a son, there were more small movements.

"Ruyi, go back and tell your mother, don't worry, she is still young, and it is more than enough to have two more sons."

Ah Sheng blinked: "Why didn't father tell mother himself?"

Cao Song... Cao Song blushed.

Eh?

"Nonsense." Ah Sheng saw her father trying to cover up his anger, "I'm busy with official duties, so I don't have time to take care of these rear affairs."

"Isn't father Xiu Mu today? And Uncle Qing said that no one invited father to be a guest today."

Cao Song: ...Damn it, kids are so smart that they are not cute at all.

Ah Sheng covered his mouth and smiled like a kitten who stole a fish.Actually, the relationship between her parents can still be salvaged, right?Although the struggle in the back house is relatively cheap, she should help them out of the situation and reason.If the relationship between her parents is stable, the living environment for her and her brother will be better.Mrs. Zhang is too jumpy, if she sees hope, she may attack her son-in-law.

"Father." Asheng tugged at his father's sleeve, "Brother, will my career really be ruined because of the Liang family?"

The topic changed, and Cao Song relaxed. "How can you be sure? When you grow up, it doesn't matter whether the Liang family is still in court or not."

Ah Sheng was stunned.No, this is different from what you said.

Cao Song tapped her on the forehead with the brush holder: "Why are you in a daze, didn't you say that the Liang family must perish?"

Ah Sheng covered his forehead with his hands: "Then father... don't stand with them."

"I," Cao Song sighed, "I have mediocre qualifications. I can't start from scratch like my father, stand in line ahead of time, and take advantage of the chaos. If he is said to be killed, when will he fall? Five years later? Ten years later? Or 20 years later?

"Even if he is going to perish in five years, he is still a great general who covers the sky with one hand. Are we going to catch up and be wiped out by him before he loses power?"

"Well……"

"How difficult it is to get out of the Liang party without offending the general! Liang Ji has ruled the government for more than [-] years, is he a fool? I just showed some signs of estrangement, and the Liang family sent your elder brother to the doctor. Yes! Then," Cao Song took a deep breath, "Your father, I have been promoted two levels in a row."

"Amazing! Liang Ji!" Ah Sheng tugged at his father, "Then father..."

"According to your grandfather's order, the official resigned and the medicine was accepted."

This is the very clear meaning of keeping auspiciousness.Ah Sheng seems to have seen behind this simple promotion and resignation, two old foxes, Liang Ji and Cao Teng, are fighting openly and secretly.Liang Ji pulled it casually, and the Cao family failed to jump off the car; Cao Teng pushed again, and the relationship could not go back to the way it was before.

Compared with this kind of political struggle, Ah Sheng himself was too immature, not much better than his father. "Father, father is well informed. According to father, when will Liang Ji fall?"

"I can't see it in the short term. Empress Liang is not loved by the emperor, but now the most favored nobleman in the palace..."

"He's also from the Liang family?"

"As long as nobleman Liang can give birth to a prince, there may be another generation of peace for the Liang family."

Ah Sheng fell into deep thought. She could only grasp the overall context of history, but knew little about the details.If she was a history major and told the cause and effect of Liang Ji's death in one go, then things would be much easier to handle.But now...she herself is not sure...

"In short, father, don't follow them to do bad things."

"I saved it." Cao Song patted her head, "Father's business is difficult, and I will always hand over this family to you safely." He laughed again: "You and Ji Li are like my father. The rush of adventure."

Cao Song is a coward.However, there is also the wisdom of counseling a grasshopper.His greatest goal in life is to be successful, and the greatest achievement in life is also to be successful.Such people account for more than 80% of the crowd.

Just a normal person.

Ah Sheng didn't seem to hate him that much anymore.But the mother's anxiety has not been resolved, she can't tell her mother that the Liang family will collapse.The mother's mouth was not tight, and the word spread to the whole family to take pills.So, Ah Sheng could only tell Ding insinuatingly that the Liang family sent medicine to show that they would not care about a child like Ji Li, and he didn't know if she listened.

In a blink of an eye, June.

Ding gave birth.
