Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1012
"Yong'er, your sixth uncle came here today, but what happened in Suzhou?" Seeing his son coming, Li Shi asked without hesitation.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and Cao Yong looked up at her mother carefully, and found that her eyes were bloodshot, and her worry was palpable.

The Li family's matter is so big that it is not something that Cao Yong can hide if he wants to hide it.

As the wife of the Earl's House, Mrs. Li also has to go out to socialize.Instead of letting her hear the news from the outside, Cao Yong would rather tell her herself.

Afraid of scaring his mother, Cao Yong changed his rhetoric and said: "Mother, the three major weaving companies in the south of the Yangtze River are originally under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition to completing the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are other tasks. Therefore, to be able to take up this position They are all the trusted confidantes of the emperor. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has his own staff..."

Mrs. Li frowned and listened carefully, but she didn't seem relieved. Instead, she asked: "Aside from being dismissed from office, what other punishment did your uncle receive? Didn't you mention to me a few years ago that your eldest uncle was in Suzhou Scenery Plaza?" I'm getting more excited, and I don't have any clear communication with the elder brother in the capital, I'm afraid I will plant a disaster. Now, it's not just to make room for Xinzhi, right?"

"Mother?" Seeing Li Shi so calm, Cao Yong was a little surprised.He originally thought that his mother would be grateful for the kindness of the Li family, worried about the Li family, and begged himself to help as much as possible.

Li's lips were pursed into a line, his eyes were dim, and he stared straight at Cao Yong, waiting for his answer.

Is this person in front of her my weak and gentle mother?

"There are still some problems with the accounts of the weaving mansion. Now the emperor has issued an order to order the governor of Jiangsu to investigate." Cao Yong thought about it and said: "The emperor is not a random person. Since he mentioned this matter, I think my uncle has some problems with it. It's just that mothers don't have to worry about it, and it's not a heinous crime. Even if you ask for a crime, there is still room for maneuver."

After listening to her son's words, Mrs. Li sighed, stared at the edge of the Kang for a while, and said, "Tell your wife, don't spread private words in the inner house, your grandmother is getting old."

"Yes, mother." Cao Yong answered honestly, waiting for Li's other instructions.

Mrs. Li stopped talking, but looked at her son with distress, and said, "One or two are here to look for you. Don't be too anxious to get angry. This freshman family still counts on you. The imperial court , if someone bullies you, don't bear it all, remember to ask Thirteenth Lord and Sixteenth Lord for support."

"Yes, mother is also at ease, don't worry too much. Uncle has reached the age of seventy, and has reached the age of retirement." Cao Yong was afraid that she would be worried and hurt her body, so she said one more sentence.

Mrs. Li understood her son's filial piety and nodded.

She remembered something and said, "Mr. Fang is in Changping now, or should he go back to Shisan Ye's mansion?"

The old Fang she was talking about was Mr. Fang Zhong.Ever since he cured Elder Brother Ten's illness, he has become a figure that the rich and powerful in the capital have been eagerly thinking about.

He used to be a wild crane, but he was so disturbed that he almost left Beijing to return to his hometown.It just so happened that Hong Tun, the eldest son of Elder Thirteen, was not in good health, Elder Thirteen and Elder Thirteen begged to be on Fang Zhonggong's body.

Hong Tun was born in the 49th year of Kangxi, which happened to be the two years when the thirteenth elder brother was imprisoned in the elder brother's house.

Thirteen Fujin was worried about her husband, but also had to be deducted from the routine by the palace people, so the pregnancy was a little unstable.Later, although the fetus was saved, it was still born with some congenital deficiencies.

Thirteen Fujin felt guilty for this eldest son, and he always loved him like an eyeball.Even the younger ones, at the request of their mother, showed a little more love and care for this elder brother.

In this way, the congenital insufficiency, coupled with the spoiling of the acquired, made Hong Tun as weak as a big girl.

When Mr. Fang saw it, he knew that this body was too delicate.It's time for a teenage boy to be mischievous, and it's good for him to wheeze after walking a few more steps like Hong Tun.

Therefore, Fang Zhonggong prescribes the right medicine and persuades the thirteenth elder brother and the thirteenth Fujin to take Hongtun to the thirteenth elder brother's hot spring village in Changping for recuperation.

"The days of the national funeral were in Beijing, and then I went back to Changping Zhuangzi." Cao Yong said.

Mrs. Li let out a long breath, and said, "I heard that Li Cheng has been in poor health for the past few years. When he returns to Beijing, please ask Elder Fang to take a look."

Cao Yong was taken aback for a moment, and saw water flashing from the corner of Li's eyes.

She could think of the family members of the Li family returning to the capital, and she might also think of the guilt of the Li family, which cannot be settled by dismissing office.

After saying this, Mrs. Li waved her hands and said, "It's getting late, you should go back earlier and rest!"

Cao Yong's heart was heavy, and he left Lanyuan.

Right at the gate of the courtyard, Chu Yu stood there, saw her husband come out, and called out in a low voice, "Forehead son-in-law!"

"Why are you standing here?" Cao Yong stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Chu Yu didn't speak immediately, but led him to walk more than ten steps in the direction of Wutong Garden, some distance away from Orchid Court, Fang replied in a low voice: "The housekeeper Qian from Li's house is here and asked to see the old lady. I'll wait for you Make up your mind, should you ask him why first, and then report to the old lady. It's so late, it always makes people feel wrong."

When Cao Yong heard the words, he stopped and said, "I'll go see him."

Having said that, he didn't go to the front yard right away, but went back to Wutong Garden, changed his official uniform, had dinner again, and then went to the front yard to meet people.

It's not that he is putting on airs, but that he has dealt with Qian Borui and knows that he is not a good person.

The sixth master of the Li family had just left, and he, the housekeeper of Li's house, came to see Mrs. Li. If he said that there was no calculation, Cao Yong would not believe it.

Li Xuyuan is in Suzhou, Li Wei, a concubine, may not be as respectable as Qian Borui, a chief executive.

No matter what Qian Borui wants to do at this time, he will do it on his own, which is also Li Xu's trust in him.

No matter how much Li Xu trusted the big housekeeper, whether Qian Borui was loyal to Li Xu or not, he didn't do Cao Yong's business; but he couldn't handle it with a good temper if he plotted against his family.

Front yard, side hall.

Qian Borui took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was already Xuzheng (eight o'clock in the evening).He entered the Cao Mansion at the beginning of Xu (seven o'clock in the evening), and now he has been waiting for half an hour.

It was inappropriate to come to the door at night to see the female relatives of the inner house.But Mrs. Li is the old aunt of their Li family, so she is not considered an outsider.

Now, the Li family is facing the disaster of the Qing family. At this time, the only ones who can save the Li family are the Cao family.

Even if Cao Yong wanted to stay out of it, he, a servant of the Li family entrusted by the master, could not just watch like this.

The glory of the Cao family originated from the grandson of the Sun family, but it was because of the promotion of the Li family that they went from slave to master and became a master.

He was in the capital and knew all the rumors about Mrs. Li's life experience.

Until now, he still feels uneasy in his heart.Even if the Li family is a golden branch and jade leaf, the royal family should not be the Cao family as a reward, but the Li family who raised the Li family.

The uncle of the Cao family is somewhat respectable in front of the imperial court, and he has a good personal relationship with the thirteenth elder brother; the eldest lady is the emperor's niece, and her natal family has just been promoted to the title of prince.

But he didn't want to think about it. The dignity of the Cao family belonged to the Cao family, so it had nothing to do with the Li family.

He couldn't sit still, stood up and looked towards the door.

Cao Yong at this time, slowly paced over.

Qian Borui leaned over to see them, and the two sat down.

"Boss Qian wants to see our old lady? What a coincidence, she has been feeling a little uncomfortable for the past two days, so she rested early." Cao Yong said.

Qian Borui laughed and said: "I can't see my old aunt, but it's good to see our second old lady."

Cao Yong looked at him, frowned slightly, and said: "Grandmother is old and impatient to see guests."

Seeing Cao Yong's resolute answer, with no room for return, Qian Borui hated secretly, but he still smiled and said: "If the second old lady can't see you, I want to see our girl. Our master I miss the girl very much, so I sent someone to prepare a lot of things, and told the villain to come and visit the girl."

Who would believe such a statement.

Cao Yong twitched his lips, looked at Qian Borui, and said slowly: "Boss Qian has been in the capital for many years, he is a knowledgeable person, why did he do this? If there is a trace of ignition, uncle will be charged with crimes. intolerable."

Although he didn't like Qian Borui, he also didn't want to see the situation in the Li family continue to exaggerate and point out intentionally.

Inside and outside the capital, there are eyes and ears of the emperor everywhere.

However, Qian Borui was aroused by Cao Yong's repeated refusals, and he didn't hear his implication, his face was a little stiff and he said: "Master Cao is overthinking, but it is just the dowry and pension funds prepared by our master for the second old lady and the girl. Is it a crime?"

When Cao Yong heard this, he was impatient to deal with him, and said: "Don't talk nonsense with the Lord, loyalty is good, and you must be careful about doing bad things. Even if you want to add a crime of 'transferring property' to your master, don't come in front of the Lord. Come."

In a word, Qian Borui's intentions were revealed.

His face turned red and green for a while, but he didn't dare to turn against Cao Yong.The matter has not been reported to Mrs. Li, and there is still room for turning it around.

"Master Cao misunderstood..." Qian Borui laughed twice and said.

Cao Yong didn't even look at him, but called someone to see him off.

When Qian Borui left Cao's house, Cao Yong found Cao Yi and asked him to follow Qian Borui secretly to see what Qian Borui would do next.

As a result, Qian Bo Rui didn't do anything that night and went straight back to Li's house.

Cao Yong did not take it lightly, and still asked Cao Yi to help stare.

The next day, there was a message back.

Qian Borui went to the Lianjun Prince's Mansion and asked to see the Lianjun Wang Fujin.Then, there were two carts of belongings, which were sent to the county prince's mansion.

Cao Yong's eyes widened when he heard the news.

This Prince of Lianjun, Fujin, really doesn't know how to restrain himself.It's not easy for her widow's family, her husband was the sworn enemy on the Dragon Throne before his death, and he should have lived with his tail between his legs, but her ostentation is getting bigger and bigger.

This Qian Borui is also confused, he is not afraid to fold all the property into the county palace.

In Cao Yong's astonishment, King Fujin of Lian County left the mansion and went straight to Prince Yong's mansion to find Si Fujin.

The four Fujin have not been formally canonized in the middle palace, so they haven't moved into the inner court yet.Now, she is preparing to enter the palace.

The two families live across the street, and no matter how much the brothers fight against each other, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law get along fairly well.

King Fujin of Lianjun came to Sifujin to intercede for the Li family's affairs.

After hearing this, Si Fujin knew that she felt sorry for the adopted daughter who married into the Li family. Although she felt sorry for her having no biological children, she didn't mean to break the rules for her.

The important affairs of the imperial court are not something that their housewives can dictate...
