Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1059
Yongqing was lonely and arrogant when he was young, and he was expelled by his family because of his loyalty when he was young, and his temper gradually became gloomy.

Cao Yong was worried that he would be depressed because of the unfair rewards and punishments of the court, but he did not expect to see Yongqing who was confident and firm.

After the baptism of the battlefield career, Yongqing, this dusty pearl, finally exudes a dazzling light.

His figure is as tall as a mountain, and his brows and eyes are open-minded after suffering.

This is his friend, Cao Yong only felt fever in his chest.

Yongqing has found himself.

Yong Qing was also looking at Cao Yong, grinning at the corner of his mouth, and then burst into a hearty laugh.

One of the four joys in life is to meet an old friend in a foreign land, not to mention the friendship of teenagers who love brothers.

"Just now I wondered if I was a servant, but it was really you!" Yongqing walked up to Cao Yong with big strides, his face could not hide his joy.

Cao Yong also laughed, looked at Yongqing and said, "Fire makes real gold! After a few years, I've become a bit of a general!"

"Hahaha, Fu Ruo didn't catch up with me when I was on the battlefield. That time I went to Tibet with Yue Junmen, I killed seven of them at once!" Yong Qing said with a smile: "There is nothing more joyful than this when a man is alive. Already!"

Seeing him proud, Cao Yong said, "Oh, how about the details, come and tell me?"

Yongqing was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm not showing off, I just want to tell you that I'm doing well. I don't care if I get credit or not. As long as I can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and don't demote me back to the capital, I will be satisfied !"

After Yongqing's reward was ignored by the court, Cao Yong once wrote a letter to Yongqing. Except for gossip, the rest was mostly encouraging, and he was afraid that something would happen when he was depressed.

He knew that Yongzheng would definitely have people monitor the correspondence sent to the Northwest Army.

After all, the fourteenth elder brother has led the army for many years, and there are many clan princes. It is not unusual for Yongzheng to be afraid of the exchanges between the capital and the Northwest Army.

Cao Yong knew the content of his letter, and someone would copy it and send it back to Beijing, but he still handed it out.The purpose is to let Yongzheng know the relationship between the two.

As long as Yongzheng knows or remembers the past between Yongqing and Cao Yong, he will know that although he and the fourteenth elder brother are related by marriage, they are not close.After making people observe, or when Yongqing makes new achievements, Yongzheng has no need to restrain him.

Yongqing didn't know the twists and turns, he only thought that Cao Yong was worried about himself, and told him that he was fine before reminiscing about the past, so as to save him from thinking about it.

"The sharp edge of a sword is sharpened, and now brother Shanyu has a sword out of the box. There is no need to compete for a while. Brother Shanyu is a scumbag. When he was young, he was taught by the old man himself. There will always be a day when he will become famous and seal his wife and son." Cao Yong is sure. road.

Yongqing was embarrassed by the praise, and said: "Don't dare to be Furuo's praise, I have only experienced a few years, it is really nothing. Think about it before in Beijing, how could it be considered as a leader? If you say that the general is a tiger, only Yue The military gate deserves it."

Although Cao Yong was in Beijing, he had heard about the Northwest War.

The so-called large army entered Tibet to quell the rebellion. In fact, only the vanguard troops fought against the enemy; when the follow-up large army arrived, the Junggars had already fled far away. They were just wandering in Tibet to frighten the local Tibetans and lamas.

Those who really wiped out the enemy and made military exploits were all the soldiers of the vanguard, and the vanguard officer was Yue Zhongqi.

If it were a clan or Manchu nobleman, he would have to be rewarded for such military exploits. Because Yue Zhongqi was in the Han army and his status was not high, most of the military merits were divided among the clan nobles of the Chinese army.

After the excitement of reuniting with old friends faded away, Yongqing discovered that there were still two and a half children in the room.

One has long eyebrows and thin eyes, and is handsome, with a look in his eyes; the other has bright black eyes, and his face is full of intimacy.

"This is my good nephew!" Yongqing looked at the latter, showing some kindness involuntarily.

Tianyou had already taken two quick steps, came in front of Yongqing, slapped Qianer, and said: "Nephew has seen uncle, please rest assured!"

Yongqing grabbed his arm, helped him up, and said: "An, An, I passed the boy's test on eleventh, I feel proud when I mention it as an uncle! A child of a family, to have my nephew How many people are so promising?"

Tianyou sneered twice, and said: "Uncle, my nephew is ashamed, he failed this subject, and failed the provincial examination!"

After being enlightened by his parents, Tianyou's vision has also been broadened, and he is no longer entangled in fame and fame as in the past.Therefore, it is also calm to mention the matter of failure.

Yongqing patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you fail, you will fail. It is meaningless to compete with those humble scholars for fame. Those officials who came from the imperial examinations, in their [-]s, can get a Jinshi exam and make up a county magistrate. It went smoothly; your father, Enyin, became an official, and now he is from the second-rank Jingtang, not much more comfortable than them; we, the Yuejun Clan, did not come from the imperial examination, and donated money, who can underestimate it now?"

In Tianyou's heart, he still wanted to take the road of imperial examination.Not for anything else, just to set an example for my younger brothers.

He no longer worries about gains and losses as before, and after this experience, he also has some insights.To be on the list, not only must you be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but you must also be able to write beautiful stereotypes.

Thinking this way in his heart, he also knew that Yongqing's words were comforting himself, and said with a smile: "My nephew understands!"

Yongqing looks at Tianyou, but the more he looks at him, the more he loves him.

He thought of his own pair of children, daughter fifteen and son eleven.

Had it not been for the death of the late emperor, the eldest daughter, Ying'er, would have participated in the Eight Banners draft when she was thirteen the year before last.Earlier, the fourteenth elder brother had the intention of marrying, and wanted to hire Yinger as the wife for the third son Hongying.

Hongming, the legitimate son of the [-]th elder brother, married the eldest daughter of Luo Yantai, the elder brother of the [-]th Fujin and the political envoy of Yongqing's cousin.

There is no need for another marriage between the two families.The fourteenth elder brother said this because he was optimistic about Yongqing and was trying to win him over.

After all, with Yongqing's title and official position, it is impossible for his daughter to refer to someone who is too prominent in the draft; but she is also the granddaughter of the princess, and has the blood of the Aixinjueluo family, so it is impossible to refer to it as a concubine. The general, or the second son of Lord Eight Banners.

Yongqing is unwilling to climb high, his sister refers to the clan, she just looks decent.There are many rules in the clan family, and they also attach importance to the reproduction of offspring. The first wife and the main room are mostly decorations.

He only said that his daughter was young and prevaricated.In the letter to Cao Yong, he specifically asked him for help, to see if he could ask Shiliu Fujin to help in the next draft, so that Yinger could put down the sign.

Originally, he should be begging his sister, but Prince Jane's family member who can talk to Fujin is Fourteen Fujin.The Fourteenth Fujin wished to marry more wives from Wanyan's family, how could they help?

Although Yongqing opened the door and established a household, it is necessary to form more marriages to communicate with each other.But he was unwilling to do this, he still wanted to find a kind family for his daughter, an honest son-in-law.

Brother Fourteen was rejected, and he was still slightly annoyed at the time, thinking that he didn't know what to do and alienated him a lot.

I didn't expect so many things to happen in just two years.

His initial refusal turned out to be a fluke, but his daughter Jiji should also say kiss.

Being stared at with a burning face, Tianyou picked up a blue silk bundle from the side with a smirk, and put it in front of Yongqing with both hands: "Uncle, this is what my aunt and sister Ying asked my nephew to bring to my uncle."

Yongqing took it over, sighed in his heart, and said, "Please trouble my nephew."

If he was still in the uncle's mansion, he would be a good match with the Cao family; now that he has opened an account and lives separately, it is difficult for him to be promoted, and the two families are not compatible.Even if Cao Yong is willing for the sake of his old friend, Chu Yu may not agree.

Not to mention that Ying'er is three and a half years older than Tianyou, age is not suitable...

*
In the capital, Prince Heshuojian's mansion, the upper room in the inner courtyard.

Prince Jian Jifu Jin Wanyan Yongjia and his elder sister-in-law Qi Jiashi were also gossiping.

"There is news from the palace that after the funeral of the Empress Dowager Daxing, the Eight Banners General Election is going to be held. Eldest brother is not in Beijing, and the niece's marriage, have you discussed the rules?" Yong Jia asked.

After hearing this, Qi Jia asked in surprise, "Why is it this year? It's been less than half a year since the death of Empress Dowager Daxing?"

Yongjia said: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, there must be a general election. Even if it doesn't fill the harem, it must also grant grace to the clan."

What kind of reason is this? Although there is such a rhetoric, it is understandable that the empress dowager's death will be postponed until next year. The draft is held every three years. The last time was in the 60th year of Kangxi, and the interval will only be three years next year.

"In October?" Qi Jia asked.

Because the first emperor went to Rehe to escape the summer heat every year, and the holy car only returned to Beijing at the end of September, so the general elections in these years were mostly held in October.

"It should be. If the elder brother didn't explain it before, sister-in-law will write there now, and there is still time to ask." Yongjia said.

After hearing this, Qi Jia nodded quickly and said, "I should write to the uncle to ask. Earlier, the uncle mentioned Ying'er's talent show in his family letter, and he said that he asked Cao for help so that Ying'er would put down the sign and go home to get married. .”

After hearing this, Yong Jia let out a long breath and said, "Brother, why bother? Could it be that people outside can be perfect?"

She also wanted to be married to her natal family, and wanted to hire a niece as the concubine for the unmarried sixth elder brother of the palace.Either because of others, or because I love my niece, and I am afraid that she will be burdened by the family and the marriage will not be satisfactory.

She had mentioned this matter in a letter to her brother, but Yong Qing refused.

He didn't want to make it difficult for his younger sister. As a stepmother, it was not easy at all.Yongjia married her niece for her concubine, what do the two concubines of the palace think?Besides, the concubine's sixth elder brother was born in Fujin, a side of the palace, so it's up to you whether you want to marry the daughter of a small official with your own son.

Even if it was what her husband meant, Qi Jia couldn't question it, so she just said: "Fortunately, my aunt told me, otherwise I, a woman, would be caught off guard. Master Cao is not in Beijing, so it would be difficult for me to follow the concubine's footsteps." .”

"Don't bother others, Mr. Cao is still tired. It's better for me to come forward and ask the empress. After all, she is my niece, so can she be left without a job?" Yong Jia said.

The two have been sisters-in-law for more than ten years, Qi Jia knows this sister-in-law, she doesn't talk much, but it's nice to have two older brothers, and she is not polite to her, saying: "In that case, I will trouble my aunt..."
