Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1068
After the re-election was over, marriage proposals began to spread in the palace one after another.

Today, she is the eldest granddaughter of Shangshu's mansion, and she nominates a certain prince as his first wife; tomorrow, she is the niece of the scholar's mansion, and she nominates a certain king as his side Fujin.

The few young Baylor and Beizi whom Zhao Jia asked the truth about in advance also pointed to the concubine of his first wife one after another.

Even the prince of a side branch of Prince Jian's mansion mentioned by Shisan Fujin with Mrs. Zhao Jia also pointed to him.

Mrs. Zhao Jia has been planning for several years, wanting to find a good family background for her daughter, but it is a chicken-and-egg fight. I really hate it.

She complained in her heart that she was ill at the wrong time, but she complained about Cao Song who had made the fourth sister postpone the draft, holding a feather duster and chasing him panting.

Although Cao Song was able to avoid it, he was afraid that his mother would get sick because of his unhappiness, so he half-hidden and half-begged for mercy and was beaten several times.

Seeing this, the fourth sister couldn't bear to let her brother take the blame.As for the postponement of the election, it was obvious that she was worried about her mother and begged her brother so she didn't go. If mother wanted to teach her a lesson, she should also be taught a lesson.

Therefore, she knelt before her brother and asked her mother to punish herself.

Zhao Jia sighed, finally put down the feather duster, put his arms around his daughter, and said with red eyes: "Forget it, I'm really reluctant to send you out like this, I will stay for a few more years."

The fourth sister took her arm and said: "Mother, my daughter is not outstanding. Even if she is re-elected, she will mostly give up her name and make people laugh at that time, but now it is just right. If mother wants to have a happy event, there is Fifth younger sister. Fifth younger sister is outstanding in everything, and she will definitely be able to point out a good marriage."

Although the dowries of the fourth sister and the fifth son are different in thickness, the Zhaojia family has already prepared them all.

Now after hearing what Fourth Sister said, she curled her lips, but in the end she didn't say much.With Cao Yi's lessons learned from the past, she does not want to bear the notoriety and become grudges with her concubine.

It's just that she couldn't help but wonder, after the re-election, many ladies pointed at him, why is there no news from Wu'er?
Could it be that the nobles in the palace felt that she was too young and wanted to keep her "for the next year".

There are precedents for this. If the show girl who is left with a brand is young, it is also possible to postpone marriage for a year or two.Wu'er is thirteen years old this year, twelve years old, he is considered young among beautiful girls...

In Jingren Palace, Hong Zhou drooped his head, dejected.

Seeing this, Concubine Xi was angry and funny, poked his forehead, and said: "Look at this, what does it look like? There is no sister, so I left you a younger sister? I have met both sisters, and speaking of this younger sister If you are a little bit better than your sister, what are you not satisfied with?"

After hearing this, Hong Zhou quickly shook his head and said, "Er Niang, Er Niang, I'd better save this younger sister, and save it for others to point out."

Although he is only 13 years old, the royal children are sensible earlier than ordinary children.

It is possible for the two daughters of the Cao family to give him the concubine, since their father and brother do not have official positions, but there is absolutely no reason for both of them to be his concubine.

The fourth sister delayed the re-election, and had to wait until the next draft to agree on a lifetime.Today, if he agreed to take Wu'er, what face would he have to ask Cao's family to accept Fourth Sister another day.

Concubine Xi was supposed to be a rare beauty for Hong Zhou to pay attention to, which made the young man who didn't understand human affairs fall in love for the first time.Unexpectedly, what he set his eyes on was not the charming fifth girl of the Cao family, but the plain and unpretentious fourth girl of the Cao family.

If Hongzhou hadn't explained the rank and age of the four daughters of the Cao family in advance, Concubine Xi thought she had made a mistake.

Now, she was somewhat curious, and couldn't help asking why Hongzhou liked the fourth girl of the Cao family.

Hong Zhou squeaked, refused to tell the truth, found an excuse, and ran away as if flying.

In the end, Concubine Xi learned the truth from Hong Zhou.

It turns out that the fate between Hong Zhou and the fourth daughter of the Cao family can be traced back many years ago.One year, the thirteenth Fujin celebrated his birthday, and the fourth sister celebrated her birthday with her mother.Hong Zhou also went with his two elder brothers.

The children were young and playing in the sand in the garden.

There is a little girl from Shangshufu who is very ignorant and clings to Hong Zhou.Hongzhou got impatient, so he scolded the little girl and cried.The fourth sister is also there, very much like a big sister, coaxing the little girl well.

She didn't know Hong Zhou's identity, she just regarded him as a child of her aunt, Qi's family, and taught Hong Zhou a lesson.Hong Zhou didn't argue, he listened honestly, and the fourth elder brother was amazed.

This summer, Hong Zhou went back to Cao's mansion, just happened to see the fourth sister, recalled the past in his childhood, so he paid attention to the fourth sister.Knowing that she was in this year's draft, she started thinking about being pleasing.

Concubine Xi was afraid that Hong Zhou would have an affair with the Fourth Sister. After all, as the Fourth Sister, it was impossible for her to be Hong Zhou's main wife.If Hong Zhou pampered him too much, he might spoil his concubine and destroy his wife.

After hearing the reason, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This fifth child, I thought he had grown up, but he was still a child after all. Could it be that he still holds grudges and wants to get him over and scold him twice?"

Afterwards, she mentioned this matter to the queen as a joke, which was considered to have ended Hongzhou's flattery.

The queen also pays attention to the girl from Cao's family because of begging people in Hongzhou.It's just that she didn't participate in the primary election and only showed up in the second election, so she didn't meet Fourth Sister.

For the gentle and beautiful fifth girl of the Cao family, the empress was still careful, took a second look, and loved her very much, she thought it was the Cao family who brought them up well.

Unexpectedly, this was not what Hong Zhou was looking for. The queen heard this, smiled and said to Concubine Xi: "The fifth girl of the Cao family is a good child, with a docile temperament and good looks. I really don't want to point it out to outsiders. Otherwise, just Pointing to the fourth elder brother? The fourth elder brother will be fourteen years later, so people should be released from the house. Instead of letting those court ladies mess it up, it’s better to pick two ladies to put beside him. It’s just that the fifth daughter of the Cao family is from a lower background. Just be a princess, don't dislike your mother-in-law too much. The fourth elder brother's concubine, I'm afraid I can't decide what family to choose. I'm afraid it will take a few years, don't worry, the emperor, don't worry. I will treat fourth elder brother badly."

Concubine Xi is clever, so she doesn't understand the Queen's intentions.In the final analysis, it is to avoid suspicion and not give people room for trouble...

The conversation with the concubine later determined the fate of Cao Di, the fifth daughter of the Cao family.

The marriage decree came down to Cao's East Mansion at the end of November.

Pointing to the prince is a very respectable thing; but he didn't even get the side room, he was just a princess, but he was not much higher than the palace maid, and his grade was too low.

Brother Cao Song was worried about his sister and was not happy about this decree.Although the fourth elder brother is expected to be a heir, it cannot be regarded as an ordinary clan, but they have no intention of being relatives, and are worried that they will drag the Cao family into danger.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhao Jia, after all, has selfish intentions, fearing that Wu'er will be too good, and will compare fourth sister.

After hearing the result, she was extremely satisfied.

It doesn't matter if the grade is low, with the things that enter the palace, there will be fewer correspondingly.If it really refers to the prince's side Fujin, then the current dowry will not be available, and there will be a big expense.

On the contrary, the fourth sister is really happy for Wu'er.

As a five-son concubine, leaving a sign to point to the clan, it is difficult to be the main family, and most of them are side rooms.Instead of pointing to the prince's mansion that he is not familiar with outside, he might as well point it to the fourth elder brother.

With Hang Seng's relationship, even if Wu'er's title is lower, the fourth elder brother will take care of Yi and Er, which is more appropriate than outsiders.

Although the Li family and Chu Yu of the Western Mansion do not want Wu'er to be their concubine, they know that the world is like this.Unless Wu'er can put down the brand name and get married by himself, he can find someone from a lower family to be his wife.Otherwise, referring to the clan is only for concubines.

Only Hang Seng was very depressed when he heard the news.

The fifth elder brother likes to tease him on weekdays, and let him get used to the two elder brothers calling him uncle; after that, he has another excuse, and he will definitely chase him.Let him call Uncle Si Age...

Xining, resident.

General Nian Gengyao of Fuyuan has issued a military order, and Yue Zhongqi will lead 6000 men and horses to fight the rebellion.Just waiting for the supply and military supplies from Ganzhou to come, the army is about to set off.

On this day, the food and supplies escorted from Ganzhou arrived in Xining.

In the general's tent, in addition to Sichuan Admiral Yue Zhongqi and Deputy General Wang Quantai, there are several Dutongs and Deputy Dutongs.

Nian Gengyao looked at the food and grass list that he sent, but he didn't say anything, Nian Fu had already come out, and said: "Soldiers are easily reduced due to frostbite when troops are dispatched in winter. Badger oil and spirits are the most important things, but due to insufficient military supplies , the gap is huge.”

Although Nian Gengyao had a cup of wine with Cao Yong last time, but he was suspicious by nature, and after all he was on guard. This time, he sent his third son, Nianfu, to escort the food and grass, and he might not have put pressure on Cao Yong. meaning.

Seeing that there was no shortage of large quantities of military supplies, Nian Gengyao was relieved.

He frowned again after hearing what his son said.

Yue Zhongqi didn't notice anything, but thought about how much badger oil and spirits there were in the Xining resident.It's okay to talk about wine, and you can always find some if you collect it; but badger oil is transferred from outside the pass.If the gap is large, it is really troublesome.

Only Wang Quantai knew that Nianfu had plotted against Cao Yong, and he could tell that he was uneasy and kind.

Cao Yong took over the grain and grass in September, and the military supplies were shipped in October. This time was rushed, and even if the military supplies were insufficient, it should not be Cao Yong's fault.

Under the eyes of everyone, Nianfu made a special trip to mention this matter, but he labeled Cao Yong as "unfavorable for business affairs".

The imperial court's imperial envoys were detained in the rebel tribe, and if the army continued to delay, the court's face would be wiped away.

Therefore, at this time, no matter how prepared, the imperial court will send troops to Haixi.

The next day, as a general, Yue Zhongqi left Xining with his soldiers and horses...

*
It was ten days after Cao Yong received Wang Quantai's letter.

Seeing what Nianfu did in Xining, Cao Yong only felt amused.

As early as when he looked at the munitions list from Xining and saw that there was a huge shortage of badger oil and spirits, he filed a secret letter and reported the matter.

Spirits are okay, and can be assembled from all over the Northwest; badger oil is a specialty of the Northeast, and can only be spoken to the court.

Counting the days, the badger oil should be here soon.

What disappointed Cao Yong was Nian Gengyao's reaction. It seemed that he was displeased with his contribution to the Northwest War.Otherwise, he would not let his son wear a "hat" for himself.

In this way, even if you are so small, you still do things that harm others and benefit yourself, and you will die soon, and there will eventually be a cause and effect...
