Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1026 Spring Thunder
Seeing Cao Fu acting like a baby like a child, Tianyou and the others all suppressed their laughter.

Cao Fu never put on airs like an elder in front of his nephews, he glanced at them, and then said to Mrs Li: "Auntie, look, these little ones are laughing at my nephew... You can't let my nephew go home empty-handed... ..."

He is not really greedy for things, but just to make Li Shi laugh.

Mrs. Li shook her head with a smile, and said: "How old is he, but he's not in good shape. Forget it, forget it, it's hard for you to know how to love your wife, so I'll make it happen for you."

After speaking, she raised her head and told the embroidered crane at the door: "Go to the back room and bring the jewelry box that you found two days ago."

The embroidered crane went away in response, and then brought a gold-covered sandalwood box from the back room, and carefully placed it in front of Li Shi.

Mrs. Li opened the box, and there were layers of emerald and jade jewelry, such as hairpins, bracelets, bracelets, jade rings, earrings and other small items.

Jade includes white jade, sapphire, jasper, topaz, and black jade, all of which are top grade.

Mrs. Li pushed the casket down in front of Cao Fu, pouted and said, "Here, since you want to coax your daughter-in-law, let's choose."

When Cao Fu saw this, he was a little embarrassed, and even more embarrassed to pick up the elder's things in front of his cousin and sister-in-law, so he picked up a white jade ring and said with a smile: "Auntie's things are all good. This is it."

Mrs. Li glanced at him, and jokingly said: "You talk so hard, why are you so thin-skinned now?"

Cao Fu just smiled, playing with the white jade ring without saying a word.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li picked out a white jade gemstone hairpin and a pair of gourd-shaped earrings from the box, and found a white jade double-melon jade pendant of the same color, wrapped it in a brocade handkerchief, stuffed it in Cao Fu's hand and said: " Take it with peace of mind, your brothers and sisters-in-law have it."

As she said that, she told Chu Yu, "Put this jewelry box away, and divide the jewelry when you have time. Your grandmother and the second old lady each have four pieces of jewelry, and the girls and your sister-in-law each have two pieces of jewelry. Brothers each get a jade pendant...don't forget the third brother's share...it's fine for you guys, boys can't be too squeamish. When the old man was young, he didn't touch these things."

According to the old customs in the capital, every April, most of the women's family members of powerful families would exchange jade jewelry. It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Li thought of asking people to find out this box of jade jewelry and distribute them to everyone to wear.

Chu Yu complied and ordered the jewelry box to be put away.

When the children heard about Cao Yong's old affairs, they all looked at him and wanted to hear the following.

Cao Yong "hehe" laughed twice, this is the sequelae after being kidnapped.Except when meeting people, or wearing jade pendants next to his body, he never piled up those eye-catching things on his body on weekdays.

When the children grew up and went to school in the past two years, Cao Yong also explained to Chu Yu not to let them carry valuables on them, lest they attract the prying eyes of bad people and cause trouble.

Cao Fu remembered that when he was a teenager, he liked beautiful clothes and beautiful utensils, and loved to show off among his classmates and friends, but he felt ashamed.

The room was full of joy, and the mother-in-law was already waiting on the porch, asking for instructions on when to serve dinner.

Chu Yu asked Mrs. Li for instructions and ordered the dinner to be served.

Because the children were all there, Mrs. Li asked someone to set up a big round table, and the three generations sat at the same table.Even Chuyu, Mrs. Li asked her to sit under Cao Yong.

Except for Tianbao who was carried down by the mother, the remaining eight people sat at the table.

Mrs. Li sat in the front seat, looking at her children and grandchildren, the confusion and misery when she received the imperial decree during the day have all disappeared.

Before Cao Yong finished his meal, a servant girl sent word that it was a visitor from the front yard.

Cao Yong knew in his heart that he was from Pingwang's mansion.

He was not in a hurry, and after a leisurely dinner, he and Cao Fu came out of the Orchid Courtyard.

Zhang Yi was waiting outside the second gate, it turned out that the person who came was not the official of the palace, but Na Ersu himself, and now he is having tea in the living room.

Thinking that he didn't want to alarm Li Shi, he ordered Zhang Yi to ask Cao Yong to come out vaguely.

When Brother Cao Yong entered the living room, he saw Naersu's face drooping, looking very bad, and he didn't know if he was angry from embarrassment.It is a big joke to say that the maid and concubine go to the wife's natal house to make trouble.

Cao Yong snorted in his heart, but he didn't bother to look at his face.

Na Ersu said hello to Cao Yong, and then said to Cao Fu: "I am causing trouble to Xiao Wu, brother-in-law will treat you to a drink some other day."

Cao Fu waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, if you say it's troublesome, it's nothing troublesome, it's just a bluff."

Na Ersu looked at Cao Yong, but did not speak immediately.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Cao Yong gritted his teeth, unable to hide his hostility all over his body, and was amazed in his heart.

He thought for a while and said to Cao Fu: "Xiao Wu, you go back first, I have something to say to the prince."

Cao Fu also sensed that Naersu's expression was wrong, not embarrassment, but boundless anger.It's just that this was caused by the servant girl around him, and it's impossible to blame the Cao family.

"In that case, my brother will go back first." Cao Fu was puzzled and struggled for a while, seeing his cousin winking at him, he got up and left first.

Seeing Cao Fu go away, Naersu let out a long breath, and said: "I went to the East Mansion just now, and met that lowly maid...that lowly maid...that lowly maid came to Beijing with the Wu family!"

Cao Yong listened, but also changed his face.

In the Northwest Army, apart from the fourteenth brother's favorite concubine who is well-known in the capital, who else can make Naersu jealous?
The reason why Yongzheng promoted Naersu was because he believed that he did not collude with the fourteenth elder brother; if he heard the news that the two families went to Beijing together at this time, what would he think?
"That Mrs. Wu, why did you come back to Beijing?" Cao Yong asked: "Since she is a person whom Lord Fourteen values, why is she so at ease?"

Neersu patted the chair handle bitterly, and said, "It's all because of my soft-heartedness that caused today's disaster."

Last year, the fourteenth elder brother received an order to return to Beijing. He asked Mrs. Wu to stay in Ganzhou temporarily, and said that he would arrange for someone to send her back to Beijing after a few days.

When Elder Fourteen was there, news related to the capital was still blocked; once Elder Fourteen left, all kinds of rumors started to increase.

Some said that the fourteenth elder brother was escorted back to Beijing, and some said that since the new emperor ascended the throne, he would definitely not allow the fourteenth elder brother to come to Beijing safely.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt uneasy, so she brought a few servants to return to Beijing.

Before she set off, Naersu got the news.He knew that Mrs. Wu was the one in the heart of Elder Fourteen, and he didn't want to make things difficult for her.He thought it would be better to let her live while no one thinks of Mrs. Wu.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu shot back and hid in Ganzhou. After Naersu left, she went to persuade Qingxia, a maidservant released by his side, to come to Beijing.Otherwise, how could Qingxia, a weak woman, have the courage to travel thousands of miles.

Naersu rubbed his face, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that Mrs. Wu thought that she could use Qingxia to beg to come to my side... But she didn't know that I, a prince, was worthless... Ever since the Taizong Dynasty, On the bright side, the royal family has given Prince Li Lie a lot of favors, but they are always watching and guarding..."

Among the eight grand masters who were enfeoffed in the founding of the country, the family of Prince Li accounted for three of them.

In addition to these three palaces, several descendants of Prince Li Lie were awarded the title of County King Baylor.

It has been counted before, among the princes with titles in the clan, the descendants of Prince Li Lie accounted for [-]%.

This ratio has far exceeded that of Emperor Taizong's descendants, which shows the influence of Prince Lilie's family.

In addition to the large number of people and the many titles, the lineage of Prince Li Lie also occupies the title of "di".

Prince Lilie, Daishan, is the direct son of Emperor Taizu Emperor Yuanfei.

The Manchu Dynasty ruled the Han Dynasty with the Han Dynasty, respected the Confucianism, and respected the elders.

Emperor Taizong was the concubine son of Taizu. In order to make his succession justified, when Emperor Taizong established the country, he only honored a queen of Taizu, who was his biological mother.Taizu made his wife Yuanfei, but did not get the title of queen.

Although Taizong was very wary of Prince Lilie, he had to admit that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was founded and conquered the world, the descendants of Prince Lilie made great efforts.

Up to the emperor Kangxi, the descendants of Prince Lilie were also loose on the outside and tight on the inside.It seems that the honors and pets are constant, but in fact, they have seized several titles and changed their successors several times, making this line of princes a mess.

Watching the confrontation between the emperor and the empress dowager during the day, the mother and son are already torn apart, so can the fourteenth elder brother have a better end?

At this time, with Brother Fourteen, who knows what disaster will happen.

Na Ersu was so angry, it might be because of the panic in his heart.

Cao Yong squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "Brother-in-law, tomorrow you should hand over the sign to ask your majesty to see, and explain this matter clearly in front of the emperor, so that the emperor will not hear the wind and misunderstand brother-in-law."

After hearing this, Na Ersu hesitated and said, "Will you make a fuss out of a molehill by bothering the emperor with trifles?

Cao Yong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Didn't my brother-in-law hear about the 'sticky pole'? It's better to explain it yourself than to be convicted for nothing."

Neersu's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he nodded after a while, saying: "I see..."

Seeing that Naersu was in a state of despair, Cao Yong couldn't bear it, and persuaded him: "Brother-in-law should not be too worried, the emperor is still more human... The queen mother and the same mother and younger brother are not close to the emperor, brother-in-law behaves closer, the emperor will be happy ..." At this point, he talked about the fact that today the internal officials came to deliver the decree for Li Shi to send the spirit away.

Naersu's expression gradually cleared up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Let's do it this way, I'm really afraid that I'll suffer from the misfortune of the fish in the pool, and this family will be hurt..."

When Neersu left, someone took Qingxia's master and servant away.

The next day, the hand-picked servant of the department came to the household department to report when he was a bachelor's student. He is more than 40 years old, perhaps because he has been in Hanlin for a long time, he has a bit of pedantry.

His elegant demeanor might appear noble and prudent in other yamen, which would make people more respectful, but in the household department yamen, he only entertained the big guys.

Among the several hall officials, except Cao Yong and Li Zhouwang, the others are all very old, what haven't they seen?It was Li Zhouwang, whose qualifications in the Imperial Academy were only stronger than when he was not weak.

When it comes to Cao Yong, he is the most pragmatic. When he listens to the entrustment, he speaks in a correct manner, and he does not seem to be economical when he speaks. He is only worried about this appointed servant. How can he pay attention to whether his posture is elegant or not? High or not?

On the contrary, He Cheng'er has taken a calm look in his actions, without the uneasiness and embarrassment of yesterday.

Although the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, it is still embarrassing when parting.

On the same day, Cao Yong got the exact news.He Chenger was indeed implicated by his younger brother. His younger brother offended Nian Gengyao in Sichuan. He was already removed from office and detained, and was on his way back to the capital...

A second-rank Jingtang was dismissed because he was angered. Yongzheng's treatment of Nian Gengyao was no longer as simple as a favor...

It was a few days before I saw Naersu again.

Because the Ministry of Rites had already set the date of the Daxing Emperor's introduction as the 27th of this month, the six government offices began to get busy.

Especially officials of Cao Yong's level, most of them have to go to the imperial mausoleum with Sheng Jia, and they have to explain the arrangements for the few days away from Beijing.

Even so, he still pays attention to the news from Prince Ping's Mansion.

I heard that Prince Ping Naersu angered the emperor when he answered in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so he severely reprimanded him...

Finally, the double change, Xiao Jiu begged for a monthly pass.Please support one vote, give some motivation, let Xiao Jiu get rid of the state of fatigue, Xiao Jiu will work hard, ho ho!
