Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1031
"Master, do you really want the third girl to be a court lady?" An Shi frowned when she got the news, "Although she was not born by me, she was raised by me. If she is really sent to serve people in the palace, she will not know how to gossip outside." , saying that I treated her poorly..."

Now that she is complaining in front of her husband, actually speaking, she really doesn't see her being kind to the concubine and the concubine.

Sun Wencheng was annoyed. Hearing his wife's endless chatter, he glared at her and said, "Shut up!"

An Shi pursed her lips, still a little unconvinced, but seeing her husband's gloomy face, she didn't dare to say more.

Sun Wencheng closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and said to An Shi: "Don't be so wordy, the third girl knows the height of eyebrows and eyes, so it's fine to enter the palace."

Anshi didn't dare to talk any more, and went down in embarrassment.

Sun Jingong, Sun Wencheng's second son, stood aside, saw his father's look of despair, and said: "If father is worried about the third sister, how about we ask Chen Guiren to help take care of her?"

Sun Wencheng shook his head and said: "Although the nobleman gave birth to a prince, his status is not high, and now he is attached to the Palace of Compassion, how can he have the ability to intervene in palace affairs? Although your third sister is young, she has lived with her aunt all these years. A lot of grievances, now it seems that the previous tempering is her blessing. The emperor's move is for everyone to see, we just accept it honestly, the coat is the coat, and he is a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After decades of blessings, I'm a little frivolous. In the early years, the old aunts of the Sun family often entered the palace as servants."

Sun Jin heard the words and stopped talking.

Sun Wencheng glanced at him, and said: "Your elder brother is stupid, and the fifth child is spoiled by his wife, so I must make you suffer. These days, don't worry about other things, and concentrate on preparing homework and preparing for the exam with your uncle."

Sun Jin agreed, and retreated respectfully...

Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden, Shangfang.

When Cao Yong heard about Cao Ying's visit, he couldn't help frowning: "Is the Sun family's life so difficult?"

Although he couldn't make a fuss about Sun Wencheng's recovery, he couldn't help but watch the Sun family fail.Sun Wencheng is Sun Taijun's most beloved natal nephew, and Sun Li and Sun Xian are also the nephews of the Cao family. Cao Yong should take care of them in terms of affection and reason.

Earlier, when he heard that the Sun family had been dismissed from office, he had someone buy a Zhuangzi with [-] hectares of land.

But I didn't send it over after the Sun family entered Beijing. I always feel that it is not that far. It is too generous now, which will give the Sun family the illusion that they can ask for it at will.

Cao Yong is the one who hates trouble the most, and will not let himself get into trouble.

Then, under Jiang Jian's suggestion, he asked people to divide the Zhuangzi into two, and left it as a gift to the Sun and Li families.

It's not that he has become stingy and reluctant to part with these few coins, and then he has to consider Yongzheng's preferences.He hated corrupt officials the most. Although Cao's money was not obtained from corruption, after all, Cao Yong's father and grandparents were in weaving for two generations, so he couldn't give him the impression that the Cao family was rich and extravagant.

"I heard that there was still a few silver coins left in the account of the Sun family. A few days ago, people from Xuzhou came to collect the account, and there was not much money left. Both the eldest son-in-law and the fifth son of the Sun family have been subject to family law. The wife of the Sun family is worried about the big The aunt’s private house, but the eldest aunt insisted that there was no one. The wife of the Sun family felt sorry for her son, so she forced the eldest aunt to go back to her natal home to collect ginseng. I just came to the West Mansion a few times, the first time, the fifth sibling brought her ginseng, and when they came back the second and third time, the fifth sibling just said no." Chuyu replied: "I see, the eldest aunt is not I really wanted to ask for ginseng, but maybe I was forced by Mrs. Sun to have no other choice, so I came here for a formality. It's just that the fifth sibling slapped her face twice before, so she felt a little uncomfortable."

Cao Yong had already heard from Wu Sheng why Sun Ban was beaten, but it was the first time he had heard about Sun Jue.

At this time, the Sun family, although it can't be said that the mountains and waters are exhausted, but their savings are limited, and there are debt collections at this time, which is really worse.

Sun Wencheng, who was born on the other hand, cherishes his name, and he will never repay his debts. This will make the Sun family's finances even more difficult.

After several days of trekking, Cao Yong and his wife were also tired. After talking for a while, they took a rest early.

Early the next morning, Cao Yong went out to the front of the Yamen and told Wu Sheng to send a post to Sun's house, and to visit Sun's house after dinner.

Jiang Jian didn't rest for a full month, and went to Yamen with Cao Yong.

Because it was already April, everyone in the yamen changed their clothes and hats, and everyone looked more energetic.

Before noon, Cao Yong heard a rumor that the [-]th elder brother "lost the throne for a beauty".

The fourteenth elder brother is the younger brother of the emperor, and he has military exploits in the northwest. Even if he is not a prince, he should be a county king.Although he did not officially become the king of the county, he enjoyed the salary of the king of the county as early as the 57th year of Kangxi.

After the emperor ascended the throne, four princes and county kings were added and promoted among the brothers, and the sixteenth elder brother was also granted the title of Prince Zhuang. Nothing happened.

Now, everyone knows that the emperor did this for a reason.The fourteenth elder brother is really outrageous. He dotes on a woman from a brothel and stays with her day and night, so that the elder brother's house has no babies for more than ten years. Not to mention, he even brought this woman to the Northwest Camp, even when he returned to Beijing for the funeral. .

The emperor originally wanted to confer the title of prince to his younger brother, but he was offended by his wayward behavior, so he refused to make the decree for a long time.

Just a few days ago, the late emperor had a grand funeral, and the fourteenth elder brother even brought his pet to the imperial mausoleum.Seeing this, the queen mother vomited blood...

Although before, the emperor and the queen mother were at odds, so I don't want to see the rumors of the fourteenth elder brother, but it is so illusory. After all, how the emperor and the queen mother get along with each other, few people can tell.

As for the fourteenth elder brother who had the intention of seizing the crown, if the brothers turned against each other because of this, everyone could only slander in their hearts, and no one dared to question the legitimacy of the emperor's succession.Anyone who dares to say these words will be in trouble.

It has only been five days since the Empress Dowager fell ill, and this rumor has spread to six departments, and there is still a lot of supporting evidence.For example, who has rented a house by the sea in Shicha, and the front and back yards of the fourteenth elder brother's house; The boy's brother-in-law, who is the defender of the imperial tomb, saw the fourteenth elder brother living with the beautiful concubine.

Men also love gossip, and it's gossip about beauties.

Cao Yong listened, only feel admiration.

Regardless of whether the fourteenth elder brother is kept in the circle or released, a hat of "lustful and unfilial" is worn.

A man who is lustful is not a big evil, but if he is so lustful that he delays military and state affairs, is unfilial to his parents, and alienates his wives and children, he is a person who is unfaithful, filial, and righteous.

At this time, even if "the general king" is mentioned again, there is only sarcasm left.

At the same time, even if the news of the queen mother's illness spread, no one would think of the emperor.

This is the real defeat of the fourteenth elder brother, Cao Yong finally saw what it means to be "a lot of money".

What is even more admirable is that the rumors are seven parts true and three parts false. No one can stand up and defend Brother Fourteen confidently.

After seeing this, Cao Yong became more cautious about the Sun and Li families.

If I really don't care about these two families, in the eyes of outsiders, I will be a villain who is indifferent and seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.If someone uses this to criticize him, there is really no place to call for injustice, who made him the "gentle and kind" Cao Yong.

When he came out of the yamen, he didn't go directly to Sun's house, but returned to the mansion with Jiang Jian.

"Everyone is attracted by the rumors about the fourteenth brother. No one has noticed that Dai Duo has dismissed the chief envoy of Sichuan and sent him to serve in front of Nian Gengyao's army." Jiang Jian said in a low voice.

"Where's his elder brother Dai Jin, didn't he say that he made up the Yunnan Yixi Road?" Cao Yong said.

The brothers of the Dai family are servants of the palace, and compared to the brothers of the Nian family, they are more loyal to Yongzheng, but because of their different identities, their achievements in official career are not as prominent as those of the Nian family brothers.

Cao Yong was surprised by the release of Dai Jin.

Although it has not yet reached the time when "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks", Dai Jin is the staff member of Yongzheng Qian's residence and holds the core secrets of the palace.

People like this don't keep their mouths shut, which seems to show that Yongzheng has nothing that cannot be said to others, and it is also legal to inherit the Datong.

"Since the emperor came to the throne, no one has seen Dai Jin. He only said it was released to the outside world. The students think that is not the case. If there is no change, Dai Duo will not lose the chief minister, and let Nian Gengyao dominate the family in the northwest. "Jiang Jian said.

Cao Yong heard what Jiang Jian meant, that Dai Jinxu had already lost his life.

It's just that he is an aide of the royal family, and he also has the position of an official of the royal family, if he disappears directly, it will inevitably arouse speculation from interested people.

After being "released", it is the southwest border thousands of miles away, and it justifiably fades out of the vision of the capital's elite.

Back in the mansion, Cao Yong changed into regular clothes, put on a land deed of a farm, and then asked someone to pay 500 taels of silver from the account room, and went to Sun's house with a few servants.

Sun Wencheng was already ready to entertain guests, and he was also wondering about Cao Yong's intentions.

He has already seen that Cao Yong is a person who "protects his life wisely and wisely", and he will not even help the Li family when he is imprisoned, let alone the Sun family who is more distantly related.

When Sun Jue heard that Cao Yong was coming, he struggled to get up and wanted to accompany the guests in the front hall, but was scolded back by Sun Wencheng with a straight face.

In the living room in the front yard, Sun Wencheng left behind only his second son, Sun Jin.

I heard that Cao Yong arrived, and Sun Wencheng brought his second son out to meet him.

Cao Yong saw the two, met each other, and followed their father and son to the living room where the host and guest were seated.

Sun Jin was older than Cao Yong. Hearing Cao Yong call him "Second Cousin", his expression remained respectful, and he sat with his father at the head, refusing to say much.

Although the number of times he met was very few, Cao Yong knew the situation of the Sun family's sons very well. He knew that although Sun Jin was a concubine, he was the son Sun Wencheng really relied on.

Sun Wencheng looked several years older than a month ago, but he still spoke slowly and calmly.

Cao Yong exchanged a few words of greeting, and then said: "I have a few words to say to my cousin, I wonder if my cousin will be free?" While speaking, he glanced at Sun Jin.

Hearing this, Sun Wencheng nodded, waved to Sun Jin and said, "You go to study, you don't need to accompany the guests."

Sun Jin agreed honestly, and said goodbye to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong got up to return the salute, and sat down again after he went out, saying: "Second cousin is mature and stable. It is a great blessing for my cousin to have a son like this."

Sun Wencheng followed his son's back and said with a bit of shame: "It's all my fault. In the early years, I only wanted to keep him to help me with trivial matters, and I didn't let him go out of office earlier...
