Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1053
Cao Yong couldn't help laughing at the sixteen elder brother who was riding on the horse and urging him.

With the current status of sixteenth elder brother, there are only a handful of people in the capital who can make him go out to meet each other.

In the eyes of the world, Liu Heng is just a lowly actor, brother Sixteen doesn't need such praise at all.If he wanted to meet people, he just spoke up and passed them on.

The sixteenth elder brother didn't mean to be graded, and his appearance at this time was a bit like a groupie of later generations.He actually brought a bit of youthful air, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyebrows were beaming.

Cao Yong was afraid that he expected too much, and was too disappointed after seeing Liu Heng, saying: "Liu Heng not only spoiled his appearance, but also his voice is not as good as before. He looks old and no longer has the style of the past."

Brother Sixteen heard this, reined in the reins, slowed down, and murmured after a long while: "Famous actresses fell into the city yesterday, where are the dead bones now? It's these two people." At the end, he already sighed a bit.

Cao Yong listened, but got goosebumps, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that Master Sixteen hasn't forgotten Yang Zimo?"

Elder Sixteen cast a sidelong glance at him, and said: "How many of you who have seen his demeanor can forget it? Only a stunned young man like you, who doesn't understand the style, sees beauty as nothing!"

When Cao Yong heard this, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "No matter how beautiful his female role is, he is a man after all."

Brother Sixteen shook his head and said: "You are not a rigid person, why are you still learning? What's wrong with the man, you go out and ask, if you can get Yang Zimo, who in Beijing will care whether he is a man or a woman? It is Yaerjiang, who is so powerful that he can protect him. Otherwise, even I want to get involved."

Seeing that Brother Sixteen didn't look like he was joking, Cao Yong didn't speak.He did not deny that when he saw Yang Zimo for the first time, he was amazed, but when he found out that it was a man, he even sighed in his heart.

In recent years, more and more officials and eunuchs have child molesters in the capital.In the past, only officials from Fujian and Zhejiang loved men, but now officials from the north are also becoming popular.

Listening to Brother Sixteen, he doesn't shy away from this.Cao Yong shook his head, he couldn't imagine the scene of Brother Sixteen hugging a man.

When he arrived at Cao's mansion, Cao Yong sent someone to call Liu Heng, and he took sixteen elder brothers to the living room.

After a while, Liu Heng followed the boy over.

Brother Sixteen was wearing casual clothes. When he saw the scar on half of Liu Heng's face, his brows were still slightly wrinkled, and then relaxed.

"Master Sixteen, this is Liu Heng." Cao Yong said, and then said to Liu Heng: "Liu Heng, this is Lord Zhuang, I haven't seen him before."

Liu Heng only felt that the person seated looked familiar, but he didn't dare to look more, and said: "Little man Liu Heng has seen the prince, please rest assured."

Brother Sixteen didn't speak, but listened carefully to Liu Heng's words.As Cao Yong said, Liu Heng today no longer has the style of Liu Zidan in the past, and his voice is also dull, no longer the golden and jade voice of the past.

After a while, he finally woke up and waved his hands to wake Liu Heng up.

He sighed in his heart, but his face was more solemn, he said: "Liu Heng, the palace wants to organize a mansion class, I told Cao Yong, I want to borrow you for a few years, hire you as the class leader, are you willing? "

If Liu Heng was single, Elder Sixteen would directly ask for someone; I heard that his wife is still in the Cao Mansion, and he is Tianyou's nanny. I am afraid that he will not want to go, so Elder Sixteen will become a "borrower" from asking for someone. ".

You have a good friendship with Cao Yong, so what is the difference between "borrowing someone" and an important person.

Liu Heng did not answer, but looked at Cao Yong.

Cao Yong said: "My lord is a fan of theater, if you have no other plans, just go and help for two years."

Liu Heng listened, and then bowed and said: "The villain listens to Cao Ye and Wang Ye's orders..."

The sixteenth elder brother went back happily, and only told Liu Heng to go to the palace to report in three days.Either by yourself or with your family.

I don't know what Liu Heng told Xu, but Xu chose to stay in Cao's house.Three days later, Liu Heng said goodbye to Cao Yong and went to Zhuang Wangfu by himself.

He didn't stay in Prince Zhuang's Mansion for two days, but he waited for two stewards of the Prince's Mansion to go south to buy people.

Since the palace wants to raise an opera troupe, in addition to entertaining male actors, it also needs to buy some little girls to develop Kunjiao.There are outstanding people in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is easy to pick good seedlings.

On Cao Yong's side, since Chuyu is at home, there is nothing to worry about.I had to explain the errands of the household department well, and the handover was clear at the end of June, and the documents were also received from the official department.

Since he only set off in July, he had a few days to spare.

Just when Wei Bai arrived, Cao Yong had two meals with him.Also known as Cao Yuan Cuisine, he helped Wei Bai buy a field in Fangshan and got his household registration.

After Wei Bai returned to Henan that year, Cao Yong had someone help him get registered in Henan. Although he received the honor of being a supervisor, he was not eligible to buy a house in the inner city because he was not in the banner.

Therefore, Wei Bai bought a three-family house outside the front door, and used his surplus money to buy a few shopfronts. He didn't operate it himself, but only collected rent.

Hearing that Cao Yong was going to Gansu, Wei Bai couldn't wait to recommend himself.

"I've been idle for more than ten years, and Lao Bai will become useless. My son is sympathetic to me, let me follow." Wei Bai begged a little bit.

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "I may not come back this year, isn't Second Brother Wei going back to his hometown to pick up his family?"

After hearing this, Wei Bai looked at Wei Hei and said, "Brother hasn't returned to his hometown for many years, why don't you go to sacrifice this year? When you return to Beijing, you can bring your sister-in-law and nephews with you."

Wei Hei looked at his big face, then glanced at his swollen stomach, and said with a sneer, "It's a 20-day journey from Henan, you've walked for a month, and you still have the face to go on a business trip with the master? If I can draw with you, I will wait until you are better than the two Mongols next to Second Master!"

In the past two days, apart from drinking and eating, Wei Bai spent time in the Cao Mansion's school grounds.

The Bala, China, and Ren brothers all came to the Cao Mansion after he left. They are all known for their bravery. , Most of the time, they are defeated.

Wei Bai sneered twice, and stopped talking.

On Cao Yong's side, even Wei Hei didn't want to bring him.He had already planned to leave Beijing on the second day of July, and there were three days left, thinking that Wei Hei would stay with Wei Bai.

Wei Hei refused, saying: "The second son decided to move here, it will be cheaper to meet up in the future, and it's not bad for these few days."

Seeing that he was determined, Cao Yong did not insist.

Wei Bai's family decided to move back to the capital, and Fangcha's natal Zhao's family was the happiest.Fangcha's grandmother, Nanny Zhao, is a long-lived woman in her 80s, and she is still very strong. During the holidays, her daughter-in-law will help her into the mansion to greet Li Shi and Chu Yu.

As a uncle, Wei Bai even made a special trip to see the old lady.

Cao Yong was on a business trip soon, and he never thought about organizing his birthday, so he didn't send out posts.But because it is thirty years old, whether it is old or new colleagues, or relatives and friends, people send birthday gifts and congratulations one after another.

On June [-]th, many close relatives asked their children to come to the door in person.

The Sun and Li families are among them.

From the Sun family are Sun Jin, Sun Ban, and Sun Li's uncles and nephews, while from the Li family are brothers Li Yu and Li Cheng.The two families happened to be at the gate of Cao's mansion and rushed together.

Although everyone is about the same age, Sun Jin and Sun Ban are the brothers of the Sun family, and the uncles of Li Yu and Li Cheng, so Li Yu and Li Cheng are two steps behind, and Sun Jin and Sun Ban are asked to go first.

A few days ago, Li Nai took Mrs. Sun to Fengtian.Before leaving, he had met Cao Yong at Cao Mansion.He didn't say anything to apologize, but he couldn't hide his exhaustion.

The same dismissal, Sun Wencheng has been reinstated as a doctor in the House of Internal Affairs, brothers and concubines have entered the House of Internal Affairs as a pen post, grandchildren have already won fame, and the family's revival is imminent.However, the Li family was lifeless, and the whole family's hopes rested on the frail Li Cheng.

After all, Li Nai couldn't bear it, and decided to go north to Fengtian to serve his father and replace the eldest son, so as not to delay the eldest son's future and heirs.

Cao Yong had already heard that Li Nai had hit a wall everywhere when he was looking for an errand, and was thinking about whether he could help, but he decided to leave Beijing.

For this result, Cao Yong is happy from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Mrs. Li has been married for many years. For everyone in the Li family, the older generation and Li Nai, the nephew, are the ones who have affection.For the nephews and grandchildren, because they are far apart and get along with each other less, it has become much less.

The generation of the Li family, Li Nai, is fairly close to the Cao family, but the younger generation is much more distant.

Li Yu is a concubine, Sun Ban didn't pay attention to it, and didn't bother to look at it, he just stopped, frowned and looked at Li Cheng, and said: "Didn't you say that you will use ginseng for the past six months? How can you make it like a chicken?" Tsk tsk, after all, you are used to being rich, but you are still extravagant now. It’s just that you are old and sensible, so why would you give up your face to torment your mother?”

For one ginseng, how many troubles are born.

Li Cheng blushed and was speechless.

Sun Ban also heard a thing or two about Gao's Taijun returning from Li's house to Cao's mansion. He remembered clearly that both his father and mother felt that Li's family had done something stupid.

Sun Ban thought so too.

Although Li Yu didn't sound right, but as a junior, he couldn't say anything; on Sun Jin's side, because of the housekeeper, Sun Ban had often been squeezed out these days, so he really didn't dare to talk about him outside.It's not because he's afraid that he won't be able to speak well, but because he doesn't want to provoke him, making him look ugly in front of outsiders and embarrassing the Sun family.

The scorching sun was shining brightly in the sky, but Li Cheng felt a chill down his back.

He could see clearly that whether it was the sharp-tongued Sun Ban, or Sun Jin and Sun Li who were watching from the sidelines, they all looked at him with contempt.

These days, he also introspects himself.

He knew that his family was struggling, but he still enjoyed ginseng with peace of mind.As a result, the parents turned against each other, the ancestor left the Li family, and there was resentment between the grandmother and the eldest sister-in-law.

In the past, although he thought he was clever and cautious about outsiders, he really missed his family, but now he only thinks about his own size and doesn't think about others at all.

He only felt his brain "buzzing", and his throat felt salty.

Li Yu was at the side, seeing his face turn from white to red, and then the color faded, and it was shockingly pale, so he was surprised and uncertain.

However, Li Cheng's eyes went dark, his chest rolled, and his body straightened back.

Li Yu was so frightened, he stepped sideways, trying to catch Li Cheng...
