Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1027 Sweet Dates

Chapter 1027 Sweet Dates
Cao Yong can see that Na Ersu's mood is excellent.

Seeing his brother-in-law looking at him with concern, Ne Ersu knew that he was worried about him, so he told the details of the imperial court.It turned out that he was not only reprimanded, but also fined half a year's salary.

Most of the charges are related to taking in women in the military.After all, the topics about the fourteenth elder brother are relatively obscure, and the emperor will not tell the world if he doesn't want to see this younger brother.

Cao Yong saw that Naersu spoke with complacency, without any embarrassment after being punished, and wondered: "Could there be a follow-up?"

Naersu nodded, and said: "Exactly, the emperor scolded me, and later rewarded me with two high-quality imperial horses."

The royal horse has a price but no market. It represents the favor and honor of the emperor. The price is comparable to the half-year salary of the fine.

After Cao Yong heard this, he understood that this was a slap in the face, a sweet date, and he wanted to appease and win over.Compared with disgust and suspicion, this is the best result.

In Yongzheng's eyes, Naersu is now his own.

In fact, half of Naersu's joy is sincere, and half is deliberate, but he just doesn't want his brother-in-law to worry about himself.

This time the imperial court was frank, although it avoided the emperor's suspicion, it revealed Wu's whereabouts, which was regarded as completely offending Fourteenth Elder Brother.The fourteenth brother is not scary, but the empress dowager above is extremely protective...

In a blink of an eye, it was March 25th, and there were still two days before Daxing Emperor's initiation.

Brothers Cao Yong and Cao Song already have a letter of approval, and they will follow the funeral.On Chuyu's side, she also arranged everything for going out.

After discussing with Mrs. Li, Chuyu sent people to the East Mansion to invite Mrs. Zhaojia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over.

There were a lot of people in the inner house, and they were really worried, so they handed it over to 13-year-old Niuniu and ten-year-old Tianhui, and they thought about inviting Cao Fu and Su Xin to come and sit in town for a few days.

Zhao Jia heard this, but she was unwilling: "There are many capable people around my nephew and daughter-in-law, so where is Dong's turn to show his ability?"

She was not happy that Mrs. Li went past her, even if there was no one in the West Mansion, she should be entrusted to her as a housekeeper.

Mrs. Li has been her sister-in-law all her life, so she didn't understand her narrow-mindedness, and said: "Isn't it for God's blessing to be thick-skinned and tired of nephew and nephew's wife? Your eldest nephew and grandson are going to end this year. Poor, his father is not here." In front of me, having Xiao Wu teach him for a few days will save his children from stage fright. Who doesn't know that Xiao Wu's homework is the best?"

Although Zhao Jia loves to find fault with Cao Yong and his wife, he really loves Tianyou.Cao Fu was also praised in these words, she was only happy, and said: "If you have more children, let them go? But they are a few years younger than his uncles who ended up in the past." Cao Fu and his wife were allowed to come to help thing.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Chuyu found a reason to leave with Jinghui and Suxin, and went to Wutong Garden for tea.

They said they were inviting Cao Fu and his wife, but in fact they were still worried about the inner house.After all, the old ones, the young ones, and the whole family.

Before this, Chuyu had already mentioned it to Suxin in private.It just needs the approval of Mrs. Zhao Jia, and I just mentioned it again in front of Mrs. Li today.

As soon as their sisters-in-law entered the room, they saw Tianhui and Niuniu sitting at the kang table, bumping into each other, not knowing what they were doing.

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, the two turned their heads together, seeing that they were here, they hurriedly got up to see them.

Su Xin hasn't seen Niu Niu for a few days, seeing her black braids, pink face, slim figure, she already looks like a girl, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

Jinghui saw the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the kang table, and said with a smile, "Are you two painting?"

Tianhui pursed her lips and smiled, and Niuniu smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm thinking about how to decorate the big girl's room."

After hearing this, everyone had to ask a few questions.

Jinghui and Suxin are already thinking about what gift to prepare.

Chu Yu thought about her daughter moving out of Wutong Garden, and felt a little bit reluctant, but the girl was already ten years old, and it was hard for her to be crowded together with someone to serve her.

Jinghui looked at the list Tianhui made, ranging from furniture and furnishings to teacups and water bowls, all in one color, and with extremely handsome handwriting.She thought of her two daughters, who were still full of childishness, and sighed secretly.

Thinking of the fourth sister and fifth son who are now being restrained to learn the rules, my two daughters are afraid that they will not be spared.Although it is hard, it is also the only way for women.

How many people are as carefree as Tianhui?
Suxin sat at the bottom of Jinghui, took a few glances at her hand, smiled and said to Chuyu: "Both aunt and nephew don't even forget to write down their abacus, it seems that they have learned how to be a housekeeper from sister-in-law." ability."

Chu Yu said with a smile: "These two little monsters are fresh these days. They come up with ideas and come up with several ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. It's not good. I'm annoyed by the two of them. They were sent to clean up the yard errands, and let them clean up by themselves. If the clean-up is done properly, let’s talk about other things.”

Jinghui asked curiously, "What method?"

"A few days ago, I taught them to recognize the material of clothes, and got a lot of rulers. The sisters were free, so they learned to make small clothes for Tianbao. The leftovers, which were about to be thrown away, were seen by the mother-in-law After talking about it, they were surprised. They had to look at it for a while before they realized that it was used for insoles and soles. The two sisters were thinking about opening a shoe store. Because there are many maids and women in the inner house. , The errands are easy, find them an errand, and you can earn some pocket money." Chu Yu said.

Tianhui has such parents, so there is no shortage of money; even Niuniu, although born by her aunt, has no parents to protect her, but under the protection of Cao's family, she has already prepared a dowry.

The two aunts and nephews were thinking about opening a shop, but they had heard too many stories about Cao Yong making money, and they wanted to try it themselves.

After Jinghui heard this, she was only envious. Thinking of her daughter, she wanted her to learn from her, but she couldn't say it out loud. It seemed like she was taking advantage of Tianhui and Niuniu by saying this at this time.

Then I heard Chu Yu say: "These two little demon stars, it's not worth tossing about on their own, but they still want to think about pulling the second and third girls into the group."

"Why is that? The two in my family are full of childishness, but they are not as sensible as Shu Ping and Tian Hui." Jing Hui said.

Chu Yu laughed and said, "Didn't you just follow his father's example and say that the second and third girls don't have to work, and they want to give their little sisters bonuses to buy snacks..."

While talking and joking, a servant girl came over to pass the word that dinner was going to be served at the Lanyuan, and Chu Yu brought two sisters-in-law over to serve without mentioning it.

Tianhui put away the things on the kang table, and said to Niuniu: "Auntie, mother agreed to let us open the shop, didn't she say no a few days ago?"

"Sister-in-law is afraid that we will be impulsive on the spur of the moment and cause the housekeepers to waste their time. Seeing that we have all made plans and prepared the cost of opening the store, sister-in-law will know that we are serious and will agree." Niuniu said.

Tianhui thought for a while, and said: "If it can be like mother's Daoxiang Village, it will be great if there are ten stores."

Niuniu waved her hand and said, "Don't even think about it. Whether it's high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they all love to eat pasta. The food in Daoxiang Village is decent but not expensive. Even ordinary people can buy half a bag when visiting relatives and friends. The shoe store we are going to sell sells court boots, and there are always plenty of officials in the capital."

Tianhui was still thinking about whether to open another shop to sell women's shoes, but then she thought that there were not many female family members of officials and eunuchs who bought outer shoes, so she put out this idea...

*
That night, Cao Yong also heard about Niuniu and his daughter's "money-making plan", and wondered: "Why do you think of official boots? There are many shoe stores in the capital, but not many specializing in official boots."

"At first I wanted to buy shoes, but I was persuaded by Madam Zhang. Ordinary people make their own shoes; wealthy families also have sewing workers. Only official boots are bought from outside." Chu Yu said.

In Cao Yong's mind, he thought of the mantra of the old Beijinger Fu Fu of the later generations, "the horse gathers the source, the foot steps on the inner line, wears the eight auspiciousness, and the waist is wrapped around the four constants." He couldn't help laughing: "It seems that our family is going to have another Time-honored brand!"

Chu Yu only thought that she was pampering her daughter, and said, "It's all because of you." Thinking of her daughter's serious appearance, she also laughed and said, "But with all my heart, I took out all the monthly savings and pocket money I saved. And discuss with me, if it’s not enough, can I borrow it from my brothers.”

Cao Yong also wanted to see what step Niuniu and Tianhui could make, and said: "Let's just watch and let the two little ones make up their own minds. Among other things, the bootmaker has to find a professional. It’s not something that can be done with one word.”

This point coincided with Chu Yu's, the husband and wife talked about it, but they didn't mention it.

Because the funeral had to get up early, the next day, Chu Yu invited Su Xin to come over, met the lady in charge of the West Mansion, and handed over the cards to Su Xin.

In order to make it easier for the husband and wife to stay together, Chu Yu made a special trip to clean up the yard where Cao Fu went, and used it for Su Xin's daily use.

When no one was around, Chu Yu expressed her concerns.

Only then did Su Xin understand that Chu Yu invited herself here not because she was worried that there were no adults in the mansion and that the servants would neglect the little master, but because she was in case the Gao family and the Li family had a relationship.

"Sister-in-law, the old lady..." Suxin was very embarrassed, and already regretted taking this matter rashly. After all, the Li family is Li's mother family and the uncle of Xifu.If someone does come to the door, can they still be turned away?
"This is what our old lady meant. After all, they are serious relatives. Those who should help will help, but they can't get mixed up at this time. Now the case is underway. Our family was also in weaving work in the early years. If we are not careful, we will be arrested." If you bite into it, you have to be more careful." Chu Yu said.

Su Xin looked at Chu Yu carefully, saw that she spoke frankly, thought that she would not hide Li Shi's self-discipline in major matters, and finally nodded her head in response...

On March 27th, Cao Yong and Chu Yu Chou Chu got up (at one o'clock in the morning).

Although he is away from home, because Li's motorcade has to follow the princess motorcade, it is not easy to be contemptuous.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought eight maidservants and four mother-in-laws, and used eight carts for people and things.

On Cao Yong's side, after leaving Beijing, he had to go with the six officials.On the side of Li Shi and Chu Yu, Cao Yuan and Zhang Yi were arranged to follow along with their long entourage and young servants.

As soon as they left the mansion, brothers Cao Song and Cao Fu came. After seeing Li Shi and Chu Yu, they rode side by side with Cao Yong on horseback and escorted the convoy to Jingshan...
