Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1001 Cleaning

When Sun Jue woke up the next day, he felt his head was a little heavy, his nose was blocked, and his throat was extremely dry.

He was already a bit greedy, and in the past two years in Xuzhou, he was even more drained by alcohol.Sun Jue couldn't stand Cao Yong's old wine.

He pulled on his shoes, sat on the edge of the kang, and looked at the room he lived in.

The place is not big, with a kang on the north side, and an Eight Immortals table under the south window, with several plates of dried and fresh fruits on it.Against the west wall, there are high and low cabinets with bronze mirrors on them and washbasin stands beside them.The curtains on the kang are made of clean fine blue cloth, and the quilt on the kang is decorated with a snow-white hood, which looks very clean.

Sun Jue looked around, and his face became more and more ugly.

Outside the window was the voice of the inn boy responding to the guests, confirming that this place was just as he guessed, it was an inn, and Sun Jue's face was extremely dark.

"Qilu, Qilu..." Sun Jue was anxious in his heart, and raised his voice to wake up his servant.

Last night, he drank so happily, besides being addicted to alcohol, it was more deliberate.He thought that by virtue of his relationship with Cao Yong, after he was drunk, he would naturally be taken back to the Cao Mansion for resettlement.

I am Cao Yong's brother-in-law and cousin. Isn't it right for Cao Yong to take care of himself and arrange himself?

He really didn't expect that Cao Yong would be so rude and send him to the inn for placement.

He stood up with a livid face, wondering what had gone wrong.

"Master..." Qilu heard Sun Jue's movement, came in from the door, and said respectfully, "Master, are you getting up? Are you cleansing your face now? Little one, this makes people ask for hot water in the kitchen!"

Sun Jue rubbed "Bang Bang"'s straight temple, and said, "How did my grandpa come back yesterday? Tell me about it."

"It was my uncle who ordered Man Ye, and Man Ye hired a carriage to send Ye over. I settled the money on the counter for ten days, and put down ten taels of silver, saying that I was going to order food for Ye..." Seven Lu replied.

"Master Man? Cao Xiaoman? What kind of master is he? He's just a family slave!" Hearing this, Sun Jue couldn't help but snort.

Cao Yong sent someone to send him to the inn, which was a little neglect, but the arrangement after that was considered comprehensive, so it is not easy to pick out any Lilai.

Sun Jue thought for a while, and said: "Call for water, I'm going out to call for a car, and I will go back to the house to see the two young masters. These two young men know that the master is back in Beijing, but they don't know how to come to say hello!"

After saying this, he believed it himself, and became more confident.

But Qilu didn't go down immediately, and said: "Master, the two young masters came over early in the morning and are waiting outside."

After hearing this, Sun Jue did not appreciate the filial piety of his sons, but cursed inwardly.

When he came out of the outside room, he realized that the room was a small suite, with a bedroom inside and a small hall outside.

Standing beside the chair were two teenagers, they were his eldest son, Sun Li, and his second son, Sun Chu.

"My son greets my father." Seeing him coming out, the two brothers stepped forward and said in unison.

Sun Jue's eyes skipped over the second son, and fell directly on the head of the eldest son.But I haven't seen him for two years. The half-grown boy back then has grown taller than his old man.

Sun Jue snorted coldly, walked to the main seat and sat down, showed his father's score, and asked a few homework questions.

No matter how careful Sun Li answered, Sun Jue also picked out a few faults and scolded him with his nose and eyes, and then he felt refreshed.

He originally wanted to use the excuse of seeing his son to go back to the grandson's house to look for his wife to find money for running an official. Now that his son has arrived, he still refuses to give up. It's not good. If you mess around like this, there is no place to beg for food in the future! Your mother is an ignorant woman, how can you teach your children well? You are okay, if you don't look good, you just need to take care of it at home in the future. How about a big girl? ? No, I have to go to see her. Good girl, all taken away!"

It's all Cao Ying's fault, inside and outside.

Sun Li was resentful in his heart, and said calmly: "Returning to my father, my sister asked my grandmother to pick it up a few days ago. It is said that she is learning how to be a female celebrity with her fourth and fifth aunts, and she will only come home next year."

When Sun Jue heard this, his face turned green and pale for a while, and he was very annoyed, but because of Cao Yong, he didn't dare to tear himself apart with Cao Ying.

Even his son lost his mind about family affairs, he waved his hand impatiently and sent the two younger ones out.

It wasn't until he got out of the house that Sun Chu let out a breath and whispered: "Brother, father is really scary. Looking at father's appearance just now, he seems to want to hit us!"

Sun Li felt his heart was in turmoil. After studying at Jingshan Official School for two years, he opened his eyes and knew what "a lot of words make gold" and what "people's words are awesome".

Although my father signed a document to divide the property and live separately the year before last, as long as he is still living with his mother, his father has excuses and reasons to return to the grandson's house.

If the mother doesn't allow it, it falls in the eyes of outsiders, but the mother is not.

Who made this society be harsh on women, especially married women.

It's the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be in half a month.My father was going to Beijing at this time, why would he return to Xuzhou or Suzhou years ago?
This year, I'm afraid it will be endless...

When Cao Yong went back last night, he knew that his arrangement could only stabilize Sun Jue for a few days.

In the past few days, Sun Jue still couldn't bear to lose face and had scruples; if he found out that he couldn't get what he wanted in a few days, he might lose face.

If Cao Ying's mother and son were not taken into account, Cao Yong really wanted to have someone beat Sun Jue with a stick and sell him to a small coal mine in Xishan.

Although Sun Jue is not as scheming as Li Ding and Li Cheng's uncle and nephew, his hypocrisy and pretentiousness, being a bitch and erecting a memorial arch are even more disgusting.

But if Sun Jue was let go, Cao Ying would not be able to bear it and would delay Sun Li's preparation for the exam.

But after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a proper way to deal with Sun Jue.You can't kill and you can't stay. It's really a crooked person.

Early this morning, before going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, Cao Yong went to find Wei Hei.

"Can you think of a way to contain Sun Jue, let him settle down for two months, and wait for the Sun family to come and take him back to Suzhou. Don't make too much noise, so as not to affect Sun Li's future." Cao Yong said to Wei Hei .

Wei Hei thought for a while, and said: "The only thing that can restrain people is gambling, and prostitution. To lure him to gamble, he is not like a person who knows the severity. If he really loses hard, he will still make a move to the eldest girl; the rest The only thing to do is prostitution, and with Sun Jue's integrity, this should be extremely easy."

Very wicked idea, but as long as it works.

For the New Year's Eve, Cao Yong didn't want to make trouble for the whole family because of Sun Jue.

Although there is an old saying, "persuade peace and not persuade to leave", but at this time, Cao Yong still hopes that Cao Ying and Sun Jue can keep a distance, so that if there is any instability in the Sun family in the future, it will be less implicated in her .

Unlike Li Xu, Sun Wencheng has always been cautious, but even so, this weaving position will not be safe.It was a well-oiled yamen, and Yongzheng naturally wanted to take it back to reward Conglong's confidants.

"He has a lot of money, even if he has the courage, he may not have the money to go whoring. Let Yin Zi hire two fans to go to the inn to play, so that he can't take care of other people." Cao Yong pondered for a while and said.

Wei Hei nodded, agreeing with this idea.

Cao Yong handed over the matter to Wei Hei, and walked out by himself.

Another seven days will be the new year, and the Qin Tianjian has already predicted the day when the Beijing Yamen will be "sealed" this year, the 21st of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the annual leave will start in five days. My time is a bit tight.

To count the number of acres in each province, estimate the proportion of dry land in each province from the tax records, and then check the agricultural and rain weather tables in various places to obtain the approximate crop cycle and calculate the approximate local temperature.

Although the task entrusted to him by Yongzheng is to promote it nationwide, it cannot be implemented in a single sentence or a single purpose.It is necessary to carry out pilot projects in selected places in each province, and good land cannot be invaded.

When he arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs, two of his subordinate doctors had already arrived.

Cao Yong has made a simple assignment of the errands that need to be inquired in the past two days.

As the chief officer, he will not do everything himself, and he will be exhausted to death.Not to mention the inefficiency of doing that, it also blocked the opportunity for subordinates to make meritorious deeds and promotion, and aroused resentment from the people below.Such a thankless effort, how could Cao Yong do that?
"My lord, the humble office has been arranged last night. Three pens and two scribes, I promise to complete the orders of the adults within three days. It's just that the days are short and the office is early in the yamen. Maybe I have to bring them a few Add some at the yamen. My lord, look..."

Cao Yong nodded and said: "You make the list, and I will go to say hello to Mr. Tian."

The doctor was ready. He took out the origami paper from his cuffs after listening to Cao Yong, and offered it to Cao Yong with both hands: "My lord, there are just a few of them. Although these people are usually indifferent, they handle official affairs carefully. They are all people who have not made mistakes in two or three years."

Cao Yong nodded and said: "You are the right one, and the person you choose is naturally right."

The doctor's surname is Jiang, he is in his sixties, and has been in the household department for more than twenty years. Although his promotion was slow, he acted most steadily.Cao Yong entrusted him with the more cumbersome statistics, because he valued him.

Jiang Langzhong was praised by Cao Yong. He was a little happy, but also a little embarrassed. He said modestly: "I dare not be an adult. It's just that I'm getting older, and I have seen more, and I have a care in my heart."

Another doctor, surnamed Hai, endured the discomfort in his heart, and said: "My lord, I have something to report in a lowly position."

He is in his 30s, and he can be regarded as one of the most outstanding officials in this hall, so he naturally looks down on Jiang Langzhong's "relying on the old and selling the old".

Cao Yong looked at him.Said: "But Qin Tianjian won't let you check their barometer? Why?"

Hai Langzhong nodded, took a long breath, and said: "They said that those files are confidential to the court, and they are not easily revealed to the public unless there is an imperial edict."

Before that, he took the receipt issued by the Ministry of Households and went directly to Qin Tianjian to check the relevant documents on farming.As a result, I hit a soft nail.

Cao Yong listened and said: "If their rules are like this, then follow it. It is my negligence to let you go for nothing. I will ask for an order in a while."

Hai Langzhong was quite touched when he heard the words.If it were someone else, who didn't take care of the errands assigned by the Shangguan, I'm afraid that a scolding would be minor, and serious ones would affect their future.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yong not only did not blame him.He also calmly admitted that it was his own negligence...

When her son came back and told about the conversation with Sun Jue when he went to pay his respects, Cao Ying was worried.

She has long given up on her husband, but she dare not be too decisive, because she is afraid that her son will be difficult to do among the clan when he grows up.

She seemed to be preparing for battle every day, waiting for Sun Jue to come over to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, after three or five days, Sun Jue remained silent.

Cao Ying didn't know what to do, and she was afraid that he would think of a bad way to deal with her mother and son, so she asked the housekeeper Xu Sheng to go to the inn to find out.The news of her return made Cao Ying feel as if she had turned over a five-flavored bottle. She didn't know whether it was joy or anger.

It turned out that the reason why Sun Jue couldn't get away was because a widowed young woman who was stranded in the capital due to illness lived in that inn.

The little widow somehow received Sun Jue's help, so she recognized Sun Jue as her god-brother, and now the two are bustling with each other...

At the beginning of the month again, Xiao Jiu had the audacity to ask for a monthly pass.Everyone.Squatting against the wall, I will definitely perform well this month.Originally, this chapter needs to be written more, but after reading the announcement of 0-point system maintenance, I am afraid that it will not be updated, so I will post it first.
