Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1048 The Xu Family

Li Yu didn't take the initiative to say hello to Mrs. Li, looking at his appearance, he came to thank him sincerely, and didn't mean to cling to him in the name of relatives.However, even if he wanted to greet Mrs. Li, he might not be able to do so.

Because of being exhausted from going to the palace every day to arrange mourning and mourning, Prince Ping's Fujin Cao Jia's family suffered a miscarriage.Therefore, Mrs. Li did not return to Haidian, nor was she in Cao's mansion, but went to Prince Ping's mansion.

Fortunately, it was only a month-old fetus, and it didn't make the mother suffer too much.Even so, Cao Jiashi and Naersu were also very depressed.

Their husband and wife are loving, and they have four legitimate sons, which are much stronger than ordinary couples.But the premature death of the prostitute is a pain in the hearts of the couple.Then, because of the Northwest War, the husband and wife separated for a long time.

Now, a child has been lost.If a daughter...

Cao Jia was very sad, she knew how much her husband was looking forward to having a daughter.

Unexpectedly, she was negligent to this point, because after living alone for several years, her menstrual period was a bit irregular. Although she took medicine for a few days, it would occasionally be sooner or later.

Although Naersu was disappointed, he didn't want to let his wife worry, so he carefully comforted him, and brought his mother-in-law over in person, just because he was afraid that his wife would be sad.

"Mother, my daughter really believes this time, there is nothing perfect in this world." Cao Jia said with a pale face, "My daughter claims to be smart, she always looks at other people's jokes, but she made a big mistake.

Seeing that her brows could not be stretched, Mrs. Li persuaded: "If you want Gege, there is nothing to worry about. Take good care of her for a year, and then conceive again next year."

Cao Jia said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's too late, the one raised in the Biezhuang will give birth in two or three months. If it's elder brother, it's okay, a bastard is nothing. If it's Gege, it's just right for the prince Your thoughts, even if they come from a concubine, are precious."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li took her hand and said, "Even if you are suffering in your heart, don't worry about it too much. The prince has protected you too much these years, you can't make it difficult for him."

Cao Jiashi turned her head and said in a low voice, "My daughter just can't bear it."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li couldn't help worrying, and said: "What are you talking about? If people listen to it, you will be wronged again. Don't be stupid. Now that you have four sons by your side, what is there to worry about? Those in the early years It’s hard to suppress gossip, and don’t hurt the relationship between husband and wife because of a small loss.”

Cao Jiashi heard it, but she didn't know if she heard it or not, so she stopped making a sound.

Seeing such a daughter, Li Shi only felt distraught.In the eyes of outsiders, everyone thinks that this Fujin is very powerful, and has many means, not only able to win over the prince, but also has the means to eradicate the concubine.

But Li knows that outsiders have wronged her daughter.

This daughter is smart and strong, but she behaves plainly, a little more generous than ordinary boudoir girls.If it weren't for this, they wouldn't be able to get along with Naersu Qinse, and they have been married for more than ten years, and there are very few times when the couple blush.

Naersu has seven sons in total, the eldest son, fourth son, sixth son, and seventh son are descendants of the first son, and the second son, third son, and fifth son are descendants of concubines.All the legitimate sons stood down, but the concubines died one after another.

No matter how virtuous Cao Jiashi usually appears in front of people, outsiders are suspicious of her.In addition, in the clan, there were not one or two big women who despised her origin and were jealous of her being favored by her husband. When they talked about it, they actually called her a vicious person.

There were also many people who provoked Neersu, wishing that their husband and wife would turn against each other as soon as possible.Fortunately, Naersu is a sensible person. Not only is he not provoked, but he also tries to defend his wife.

But few people believed it.

It wasn't until the prince's mansion died of Da Gege who was a direct descendant that the rumors gradually subsided.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter and did not want her to be burdened by rumors again; Mrs. Cao Jia thought that her husband did not bring the pregnant concubine back to the palace, but placed him in another courtyard. wronged.

Thinking about these years, although she didn't take a concubine for her husband, the housemaids made a lot of faces.If she was really intolerable, why would she arrange two concubines to wait on her husband's pillow mat?
The second elder brother Fucong, the third elder brother Fuzhang, and the fifth elder brother Fu Chong in the palace. Among them, the second elder brother and the fifth elder brother have the same mother, and they are from the concubine Lu, and the third elder brother is from the concubine Xu.

At the beginning, Lu Shi and Xu Shi were both pregnant, but Xu's belly was still a month old.

As a result, when Xu's fetus was moving, Lu's had selfish intentions and wanted his son to take the status of the eldest son, so much so that the prince valued it, so he took the medicine to induce labor, so that the two little elder brothers were born on the same day, and they were lucky , was born two quarters of an hour early.

Xu's family background is higher than that of Lu's, and he had hoped that giving birth to the eldest son would give him a name, but unexpectedly, it was not what he wished for.

Because the two concubines were only one year younger than the eldest son, Na Ersu felt a little sorry for his wife, so he didn't ask for the two concubines.

Mrs. Xu didn't know Naersu's intentions, she just thought it was the prince who loved her and didn't lift her up, and she wouldn't let Mrs. Lu, who came from a humble background, overwhelm her.

She hated Mrs. Lu.After the third elder brother passed away, when she looked at the second elder brother, her eyes were filled with fierce light.

Cao Jia looked on coldly, she already knew it well, but she didn't mean to meddle in other's affairs.Then, when Lu's family became pregnant again, Xu's side was unable to conceive again because of the dystocia and injury during giving birth to the third elder brother.

Everyone thought Mrs. Xu was in confinement and didn't see anyone else, but Mrs. Cao Jia got the news that Mrs. Xu met the second elder brother's wife quietly.In a few days, the second elder brother died.

Cao Jia was so frightened that she sent someone to investigate in private. Although there was something strange, there was no trace to follow.

Although she had no evidence to convict Xu Shi, she did not dare to keep her anymore, fearing that she would have ill intentions towards her own child.Later, I changed my mind.

Just because after Xu's son passed away, he transferred all his mother's love to the fourth elder brother who was one year younger than the third elder brother, and he also sincerely respected himself, this Fujin.

Lu lost her son during pregnancy, mourning and hurting her body. A few months later, she gave birth to the fifth elder brother who was born prematurely.

Cao Jiashi was burdened by the rumors at the beginning, and wanted to clarify, but later chose to keep silent.

If the Xu family is really pushed out to take the blame, her life will not be saved; the Lu family has become the sufferer again, even if the family background is not high, the prince will often ask for his identity out of guilt.There is only one concubine left on the side of the palace, and she looks weak, so she might be pointed out by the palace as a newcomer.

Earlier, she felt that she was open-minded, and her husband would believe in herself; now that she is sick, she is in a low mood, and she can't help thinking wildly, and in front of her mother again, her words are a bit willful.

At this time, someone outside the curtain said: "If you can't tolerate it, you won't tolerate it!"

It was Naersu's voice, Cao Jia's and Li's faces changed.

At this moment, Na Ersu has already picked up the curtain and entered.

Fearing that he might misunderstand, Mrs. Li took a closer look, seeing that he was smiling but not angry, she was a little undecided.

However, Cao Jia felt that her husband's eyes were full of teasing, as if he was going to do something bad.

When Mrs. Li went to the guest room, Mrs. Cao glanced at her husband and said, "Master, what do you mean, the little elder brother and little Gege born in Biezhuang will be raised by their biological mother? Is my mother-in-law good enough?" In the end, the words were already sour.

"Bie Zhuang?" Neersu frowned, "What Bie Zhuang?"

When Cao Jiashi saw him "playing stupid and pretending to be stupefied", the sourness in his heart turned into anger, and then he felt boring.

Naersu had already thought of Biezhuang, looked at his wife and said, "So what I said was this, I thought it was your mother-in-law who persuaded you to take a concubine for your grandfather. You can take care of yourself and don't think about those messy things. Qingxia is gone long ago, who would?" Thinking you still remember her."

When Cao Jia heard this, she couldn't help being stunned, and said for a while, "Master, didn't it mean that she has the flesh and blood of Master..."

Neersu snorted coldly and said, "If she is in her role, it's fine to take it into the house. It's a pity that she looks docile, but in her heart she is restless. Stopping the medicine given by the Lord and plotting against the heir of the Lord is just a cleverness, no Even if it's a big evil, I don't want to argue with her; it's a pity that she went to Cao's house to make trouble again, trying to kidnap Fujin and take her into the mansion. She has been scheming endlessly, how can I keep her again."

Although Cao Jia was shocked by her husband's ruthlessness, she also understood why the things she sent to other courtyards before were sent back by the housekeeper there.It's not that the husband instructed to refuse, but that there is no one who can accept the gift at all.

She is so strong, although she feels uncomfortable, but she doesn't say a word and refuses to ask more questions, so today's misunderstanding...

*
Cao Mansion, Hibiscus Courtyard, Shangfang.

The opening day of "Neiliansheng" is scheduled for June 26th, and Tianhui and Niuniu are discussing the opening of the business.

"Although the national funeral is over by then, it's not good to have a banquet in the mansion, and the meal treat can be avoided." Tianhui said.

"Exactly." Niuniu nodded.

With the current status and status of the Cao Mansion, if they really want to have a banquet in the mansion, they must send out posts.Otherwise, if this family is sent and that family is left behind, there will be a lot of gossip.

In addition, it is just a small child making a small shop, and there is no reason to have a big banquet.

"You can avoid eating, but the opening post still has to be sent. We have invited a few good masters to our shop, and we have to let them show off their skills." Niu Niu said: "If the big guy is satisfied, he will Thinking of 'inline l' bought it.

Tianhui listened and agreed with the proposal.

Although the shop has not opened in the past few months, the masters in the shop have been in place, and now there are many finished shoes and boots in stock.

The two little girls, head to head, began to draw up a list.

The masters in this shop are craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and their skills are very good.But these craftsmen were introduced by Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu's younger brother, Xu Yun, came forward to help a few times. Tianhui was a little hesitant, and she should prepare a reward for Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu, but she was worried that her aunt would not be happy. .

"Little aunt, how do you prepare the posts and gifts for Aunt Xu and his brother?" Tianhui asked.

"Their sisters..." Niu Niu blinked her eyes, quickly lowered her head, fiddled with the brush in her hand, and said, "Although they are not relatives, they have helped a lot... How about asking Fujin what he means first? arrange……"

Cao Yong didn't have the heart to pay attention to the children's thoughts and continued to check the accounts.You know, the empress dowager moved Zigong to Jingshan, and the national funeral has only been carried out for a little while, and there is still a big funeral to come, which is the real burning of money.

Fortunately, in the name of recovering the "department of household deficit", the emperor has confiscated more than a dozen of them, and the family property has been offset. The money of this household department is much more spacious than before...
