Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1021

When Qi Fujin and Chu Yu took the carriage and got off outside the second gate, and both rushed to the front hall of the palace, Chen Fu had already announced the imperial decree and left.

Seventh elder brother's face did not look happy, which made the Hong Shu brothers also feel uneasy.

After dismissing everyone, Hong Shufang asked in a low voice, "Ama thinks the Nian family is too ostentatious?"

Father and son for many years, he, the eldest son, is also well aware of Seventh Elder Brother's cautious temperament.

Nian's family is a foreign relative, and they are also dignitaries who are just popular.Marrying with their family, I don't need to send my daughter to Mongolia to eat sand, but put it in other palaces, most of them feel happy.

However, the seventh elder brother has always acted in a low-key manner, so he may not be happy to form this relationship.

Seventh elder brother raised his head and put the four words in his stomach, but didn't say it out, that is "the prosperity must decline".

Wu Gege's in-law's family is also the Lord of Manchuria, and his father-in-law was a feudal official in the early years, so what is going on now?The more eye-catching the family, the greater the ups and downs. The rise and fall of the family is just between the emperor's joy and anger.

At this moment, Qifujin and Chuyu arrived.

Seeing this, Hong Shu hurriedly bowed to his aunt.Chu Yu followed behind Seventh Fujin, and also greeted Seventh Elder Brother.

Qi Fujin called him up, but his eyes fell on the imperial decree of Huang Ling on the incense table, and asked with a bit of excitement: "My lord, but Qi Gege refers to the forehead..."

Brother Seven nodded, and said: "That's right, the title of the Princess is given to Nian Xi, the eldest son of Nian Gengyao..."

When they heard "Nian Xi", both Qi Fujin and Chu Yu were surprised and frowned.

Seeing this, Seventh Brother knew something was wrong, asked everyone to sit down, and then asked: "Fu Jin, what's wrong?"

Qi Fujin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Some gossips circulated among the women in the inner house, I don't know if they are true or not... It is said that this year, the eldest son of the family has a very hard character. The little brother who came out almost beat Nian Gengyao to death. Later, the father and son separated, so that Nian Gengyao escaped unharmed; a few years ago, they made a promise to marry each other, and beat a girl who had never been married to death... "

Brother Seven doesn't believe in the horoscope.

He grew up in the palace and has seen many ghosts and monsters, so he will not be superstitious about the horoscope and five elements like the ignorant woman.

However, there are no waves without wind, from this gossip, it can be heard that the relationship between Nian Gengyao and Nian Xi's father and son is not harmonious.Even if the relationship between father and son was good before, some people hoped that he would not be good, otherwise there would not be such gossip about "father and son mutually restraining each other".

Seventh elder brother's heart inexplicably calmed down a lot.

Seeing that Chuyu was also worried, Brother Qi turned his head and asked, "Have you heard these gossips?"

"I heard a sentence a few years ago, not as detailed as Er Niang heard. I also heard that Nian Gengyao's relationship with his wife and Nian Xi was somewhat alienated. The specific reason is unknown. What my daughter is worried about is that Nian Xi has not Cut off the medicine, a few days ago the old man of the Nian family begged for a tiger bone from his son-in-law." Chu Yu said.

Hearing this, not only Qi Fujin was anxious, but even Brother Qi and Hong Shu were a little moved.

But the imperial decree has been issued, no matter what the other party is, who dares to violate the decree...

The atmosphere was a bit heavy, Chu Yu said: "I don't know the details yet. Perhaps the old man of the Nian family loves his grandson, and it is possible that he is more delicate than ordinary people."

It's just words of consolation. Seeing that elder brother Qi didn't speak, Qi Fujin said to Chu Yu: "Go back and inquire carefully with my son-in-law... If... let's inquire too, it's serious to find a good doctor..."

On the Wangfu's side, apart from arranging for Qi Gege to marry, there is only this.

Chu Yu nodded in agreement, and had to say a few more good words to comfort Qi Fujin.

Seeing that Seventh Elder Brother and Seventh Fujin were not in good spirits, Chu Yu didn't stay any longer, and after a few words with her, she got up and left the house first.

Cao Mansion, Orchid Courtyard, Shang Fang.

Cao Yong wore mended clothes, sat on a chair, and told Mrs. Li about today's title of duke.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was overjoyed. The happiest thing was not that there was another son in the family who could inherit the title, but that his son's good governance prevented thousands of people from being displaced and dying of cold and hunger.

"When your father was around, he cared for the common people. Now that my son is young, your father will be happy when he is under the nine springs." Li said with red eyes when he thought of his dead husband.

Cao Yong was also moved when he saw that she had lost a lot of energy, and said: "The son does not want to be prosperous, but only hopes to accumulate some blessings, and bless his mother to live a long life, so that the son can be filial to his mother."

Mrs. Li looked at her son's worried eyes, couldn't bear it, and nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yong'er, don't worry. Although I am not very useful, I can finally help you and your wife to see your grandson. You have to wait until Yong'er seals the pavilion and pays homage to him." Xiang, Changsheng, God bless them to marry wives and have children, so I can feel at ease."

Speaking of this, her tears were dim, and she said: "These days, I always think of you when you were a child. At that time, the old lady and your father were there, and your sister was still a yellow-haired girl. I took you to my side and sent you to study at home. I developed heatstroke within a few days... Later, the old lady picked you up, and later, you were abducted, and my heart was about to break... I know that these years, this family has dragged you down, and you like to be at ease Temperament, but for the sake of the family, I went to Beijing to work at a young age, and I still have to worry about this big family... How can I be willing to let my son be troubled again... As long as you are good and keep yourself, that is the greatest thing for me Filial piety……"

"My mother is still young, why is she so sad? Think about my younger brother, and then think about Tianbao, who can leave my mother?" Cao Yong comforted.

The mother and son were talking, when they heard the voice of the maid on the porch saying hello, it was Chu Yu who had returned.

Li quickly lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. When she looked up, there was only joy on her face.

When Chu Yu entered the room, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, but her mother-in-law's face was full of joy.

She was a little confused in her heart, and she didn't show it on the face. She explained to her mother-in-law about the meeting with Ba Fujin, and she also mentioned the encounter with her aunt when she went back to her mother's house.

Of course, Chu Yu didn't say anything like Ba Fujin ate the Li family and mocked the Cao family's mother and son.He only said that Fujin was in a hurry for the Li family, so he ran around ringing the bells without a clue.Now, after listening to the advice of Qi Fujin and her, she has agreed to stay still for the time being and wait for news from Jiangnan.

Hearing the words, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's very good. Although she is related to the Li family, she is the county king Fujin after all, and she will make more uncles for you if she speaks for the Li family so boldly." Suspicion of having a private relationship with the clan." After speaking, it occurred to Bafujin that she is now a widow, and there was something wrong with saying "private marriage", so she hurriedly changed her words: "In short, it is not appropriate."

They are all from their own family, so Cao Yong and Chu Yu wouldn't think too much about it.

Mrs. Li didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to keep thinking about the Li family's affairs and talk about Cao Yong's canonization.

When Chu Yu heard this, she was also very happy, thinking in her heart that she didn't know which of Hang Seng and Tianbao would fall to this Spyker in the future.One was born in October of her pregnancy, and the other was her eldest son who entrusted all her mother's love after being taken away, with fleshy palms and backs.

She looked at her husband with a smile, feeling somewhat proud in her heart.

The female relatives of the rich and powerful families in the capital donated a few incense sticks to the temple and served half-moon porridge in the twelfth lunar month, thinking that they had done a great deed.Her husband, on the other hand, promotes good seeds and lives thousands of people in the world.

Under the joy, Qi Gege didn't care about the matter.

After the husband and wife had dinner with Mrs. Li and returned to the Wutong Garden, Chu Yu said Qigege was referring to Nianxi.

Cao Yong listened, a little dazed.

After all, he is not an expert on Qing history, and he only knows the names of a few prominent people in the history of the Yongzheng Dynasty.As for Nian Gengyao's family, they only knew that the emperor's family was too kind, and they turned their faces and ruthless afterwards.

As for Nianxi, Shouyuan, and who married a girl as his wife, how did Cao Yong know.

"The last time I went back to Nian's house, I only saw the old man, but not Nian Xi. Seeing that the old man is in good spirits, I think Nian Xi will be fine in the coming year." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

This time, he miscalculated.

Young people are old and mature, how can they show on their faces what they think in their hearts.

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and stroked her chest and said, "If that's the case, then it's really a bodhisattva's blessing. In recent years, the imperial court has advocated ethics, and even the clan members rarely remarry. If your health is not good, Seventh Sister will suffer."

Looking at it now, it is a good story that Yongzheng and Nian Gengyao, the monarch and his ministers, got along well.

Not only did Nian Gengyao make himself the Duke, but he also bestowed favors on his old father and eldest son. If it is said that Yongzheng is acting, it is not like it.

It's just this sincerity, and some accidents made him change his mind, demote Nian Gengyao to the end, and finally killed him.

It seems that the most untrustworthy thing in this world is the emperor's favor...

The good mood of Yongzheng Jiaen's imperial family did not last for a few days.

Two days later, it is the birthday of Empress Dowager Renshou.

According to the rules, the Ministry of Rituals arranged for the prince Baylor, civil and military officials to celebrate outside the Queen Mother's Palace.

Although the Compassionate Palace has been completely renovated, and the concubines of former emperors have also been resettled one after another, the Empress Dowager refuses to move the palace and still lives in the Yonghe Palace.

Even the honorary title of "Ren Shou" was added to the Empress Dowager by Yongzheng's own words, and she was unwilling to accept it.

Ever since the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the mother and son had torn apart their faces, and they had never seen each other again.

In order to show his "filial piety", Yongzheng went to Yonghe Palace every day to pay his respects, and he also chose Yinchu (three o'clock in the morning) to go there.At this time, the Empress Dowager hadn't got up yet, and Yongzheng was just saluting outside the palace, just going through the motions.

After going back and forth, some gossip about the mother and son's disagreement came out.

Now that it's the Shengshou Festival, the audience ceremony of the clan and hundreds of officials is unavoidable.

The thirteenth elder brother, as a lobbyist, arrived at Yonghe Palace two days ago, asking the queen mother to show the emperor a bit of face, and accept the congratulations from the clan and hundreds of officials.

This time, the Queen Mother refused to compromise no matter what she said.Even though the thirteenth elder brother mentioned the fourteenth elder brother, it failed to change the queen mother's mind.

"If he is not afraid of infamy, he can deal with his own brother. Doesn't he only recognize Longkodo as his uncle? How can I be qualified to be the queen mother? Even in his heart, he has never been the queen mother. Why bother?" Putting on airs in front of others?" The Empress Dowager's words were harsh and full of hatred.

Brother Fourteen has returned to Beijing for more than three months, how can he hide it.

She already knew about the [-]th elder brother being detained in Jingshan, and she asked the thirteenth elder brother to bring a message to the fourth elder brother, and wanted to see the youngest son, but the fourth elder brother refused.

Relying on her own identity, she wanted to leave the palace, but was stopped by the guards at the gate of Yonghe Palace.

After a lot of tossing, Yongzheng couldn't deal with her well, but instead killed all the maids around her with sticks.

The queen mother was shocked and angry, but she had no choice but to feel the hatred in her heart.Between mother and child, even the superficial harmony can no longer be maintained.

Even facing the queen, the queen mother no longer has a good face...

Cao Yong has heard a thing or two about the conflict between mother and child in this day's family.

Today, he lined up outside the Yonghe Palace with all the officials of the clan, and hung out for a whole morning. Finally, Yongzheng came out of the Yonghe Palace himself to pass on the Queen Mother's edict.
