Rebirth Like Water Youth

Chapter 431: Beijing Cao's Family Gathering

"He is different!"

Cao Mengyuan spoke again.

"Is the golden scale a thing in the pool? It will transform into a dragon in the event of a storm. If he is considered a golden scale, Shen Dapeng will have a family background. If there is no situation, if he can overwhelm the river and the sea, he will never become a real dragon in the end. So, you Can you understand?"

Cao Xinmin looked up and drank the remaining half of the white wine, squinting at his daughter, "My daughter is a golden phoenix on a branch, without the body of a golden dragon, so she doesn't deserve it!"

"The Huang Bin of the Huang family is worthy? I'm afraid he is not even a snake and python? If there is no Huang family, it is estimated that his life will be a problem. Do I really want to be engaged to this kind of person?"

Cao Mengyuan didn't want to embarrass her father or herself, but the Cao family actually agreed to the Huang family's request to get engaged as soon as possible without any discussion. She and Shen Dapeng had a four-year contract, and she didn't want to break it.

"I will discuss this matter with the elders in the clan, so don't worry about it!"

Cao Xinmin appeared to be a bit lost, his official career was not going well, and his daughter could not take good care of his daughter. Everyday his wife also worried and worried. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government and holds a high position, but only he himself knows what lies behind. Bitterness and helplessness.

"Daughter, do you believe him?"

Cao Xinmin said inexplicably.

"Believe!"

Cao Mengyuan answered very simply and neatly, without hesitation.

Cao Xinmin stared at his daughter quietly, for a long time, for a long time, and smiled with relief for no reason, "Okay, I know! Come on, eat, wait a few days to return to Cao's house, and give your second grandfather good news!"

Cao Mengyuan and her mother looked at each other, for some reason, but they were in a tacit understanding and did not speak again!

If it is possible, Cao Mengyuan would rather not see this second grandfather in this life, and Su Xin also has no good impression of the current Patriarch of the Cao family. After all, the marriage between her daughter and the Huang family was proposed by this old guy.

The "Second Grandpa" in the mouth of Cao Xinmin, named Cao Zhongxiao, is the current patriarch of the Cao family in Beijing, in charge of most of the economic lifeline and political relations of the Cao family.

The title "Second Grandpa" only came after his daughter Cao Mengyuan's marriage with Huang Bin. In the previous ten years, Cao Xinmin could only have seen it a few times from afar.

In fact, Cao Xinmin’s father and second uncle Cao Zhongxiao are just cousins. Starting from the grandfather’s generation, their family is a collateral branch of the Cao family. If there are no major things, they can’t even enter the house, let alone go to the house. Cao Xinmin, a younger generation, hadn't even married Su Xin, the eldest lady of the Su family, wouldn't even have a chance to face him squarely.

Now with the marriage of Cao Mengyuan and Huang Bin Huang, Cao Xinmin, who has not had too much contact with his family for many years, is receiving attention again.

In fact, why doesn't Cao Xinmin hope to be the masters of his daughter's future? However, he is also powerless in the fight between the various parties in the family. If he is really to blame, he will blame his daughter for being too good and being jealous.

At the root of the old city and the capital, there is a simple and square courtyard. The entrance is a bluestone shadow wall carved with Qilin Ruixiang. Turn left to see the Chuhua Gate, and then inward, it is the inner house.

Entering the door room, you can see the east and west wing rooms on the side, the front hall to the north, and private rooms and boudoirs inward.

A courtyard like this "three-door" courtyard was placed in a very luxurious courtyard at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but now it is owned by the Cao family in the capital at the feet of the emperor. To measure and to have is a symbol of status.

The stone road in the courtyard leads to the hall. On both sides of the stone road are pomegranate trees and persimmon trees. The so-called "canopy fish tank pomegranate tree, gentleman fat dog fat girl" is a portrayal of the life of many scholars in Beijing.

But now that the Cao family's position in the officialdom of the capital is worthy of this ‘deeply deep guild’ three-door courtyard.

But this courtyard now belongs exclusively to Cao Zhongxiao, the Patriarch of the Cao family. The father is seventy-nine years old. Except for a few nanny and caregiver who take care of daily life, even his sons and daughters cannot live with him.

It's not that he is aloof and indifferent. It's just that he's getting older and his living habits are very different from those of his younger generations. If he wants to live a few more years, he still needs to be quiet and indifferent. However, it is clear that the Cao's family today is several times more lively than usual.

In the inner hall, before the solid wood round table, Cao Zhongxiao is not too hot. He is dressed in a green gown that is rare among modern people. His temples are dyed and beard is white. He looked at the two children and one daughter at the table, granddaughter, granddaughter, grandson, and of course Cao Xinmin's family of three who were sitting next to the door.

Cao Zhongxiao has two sons and a daughter. The eldest daughter Cao Rongyue is married to the second son of the Zhang family in Yanbei. She is the wife of the Zhang family business group and a full-time wife. She is married to each other and has a daughter named Zhang Xin.

The eldest son Cao Xinguo, a few years older than Cao Xinmin, has already sat in the position of the mayor of the municipality directly under the central government~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A pair of children, son Cao Qiu, daughter Cao Wan, may be busy with official career, and a pair of children less than ten years old. , This point fell behind Cao Xinmin.

The youngest son, Cao Xinmin, is also a year younger than Cao Xinmin, but he has no intentions of official career, so he goes to the sea to do business. Only one son, Cao Zhang, is three years older than Cao Mengyuan. The influence of the hi official career, I don't like intrigue, but there is a kind of gentleman's demeanor.

"Today I have some rough tea and light meals. Let’s gather together to celebrate for a few eager children, especially Yuan'er. This time the college entrance examination has become the number one in the liberal arts in Beijing. It will win your father’s face and honor our Cao family. Good boy, keep working hard!"

Cao Zhongxiao blanched a pot of thin wine at the table. In this scorching summer, young people are drinking cold beer, but he still needs to drink hot warm wine, which is good for health.

"Second grandfather, I won't let the family down!"

The family in Cao Mengyuan's mouth does not include anyone in the room at all in her heart, but she still has to smile indifferently on her face.

"Yeah, Mengyuan, I remember that when I saw you last time, I didn't seem to have such a grade yet. Why, how hard did you study hard in the past year? For the sake of being a liberal arts champion, are you tired? Come on, take a bite. fish……"

The cousin Zhang Xin had a bit of hypocrisy on her face, and her tone was sour. She was obviously very dissatisfied with Cao Mengyuan who had robbed her of the limelight. What was caught in Cao Mengyuan's bowl was fish, but fish bones.

Originally, her seventh place in liberal arts in Beijing was enough for her grandfather to reward her. As a result, she did not expect that Cao Mengyuan, who had always been inferior to her in academic performance, would actually get the first place in the exam. Now she naturally felt indignation and even felt that Cao Mengyuan was lucky. That's it. ()
