Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1072 Toshihiko
Nianfu, where the old man is.

Looking at the high-spirited grandson who was getting rich, the old man had a tiger's face, and he didn't have much joy.

Holding the birthday gift list in his hand, looking at the list full of antiques and curios, the old man just felt terrified.He put the list in one place and said, "Apart from wishing me birthday. What else did your father tell you?"

Nianfu replied with a smile: "Master asked his grandson to pay respects to Grandpa on his birthday. After seeing him, His Majesty will stay in Beijing and perform filial piety by Grandpa's side on behalf of his father."

When the old man heard this, his face turned cold, and he said: "I have no shortage of people here, so I won't bother you. After seeing your brother and sister-in-law, you can go home and rest."

When Nian Fu heard this, his face turned red, and he clenched his fists, cursing in his heart.

The same grandson, one treats him like a treasure, while the other treats him like nothing.

A few years ago, the old man made the decision and divided the family property into two. He didn't even keep his eldest grandson with him. He bought another family property and asked his eldest grandson to move there.

Later, when Nian Xiyao went to Guangdong to take up his post, Nian Xi was worried about his grandfather, so he lived at both ends.The same is true after marriage.

Before Nian Fu answered, he heard movement at the door.

Then, I saw the servant girl lifting the curtain, and a young woman in a banner helped Nian Xi in.

Nian Xi's complexion was blue and gray, his lips were pale, and he was extremely weak; the young woman next to him had an immature face, but her brows were haggard.

Nianfu knew that this was his princess's sister-in-law, and felt even more uncomfortable.When he returned to Beijing this time, besides taking care of his grandfather instead of his father, he also wanted to find a suitable girl to make a marriage.

What he expected was right, the one next to Nian Xi.It was Nianxi's wife Qi Gege of Prince Chun's Mansion.

The eldest brother was bestowed a marriage by the palace, and he married the princess of the Prince's Mansion, but he could only marry a wife among the unsuccessful girls.This made Nian Fu, who was already full of complaints, even more resentful.

"The third brother is here..." Nian Xi's eyes turned from Nian Fu's face, his expression was very flat, and there was no joy of reunion after a long absence. "He said lightly: "This is your sister-in-law, let's see you. " Said, and said to his wife: "This is the third brother who is rich. "

Nianfu squeezed out a smile, and said politely, "I've met my elder brother, I've met my sister-in-law."

Qi Gege gently let go of Nian Xi's arm, and bowed solemnly.

Nianfu looked at Qigege twice, but he saw something was wrong.Qi Gege's eyebrows are still in the air, clearly still a virgin.

His eyes moved to Nian Xi again, and he already had some calculations in his heart.This sister-in-law has been married for half a year, and she still can't make a round face. His eldest brother's health is really bad.

At this moment, the old man's face was filled with kindness, he greeted Nian Xi and said: "Come and sit down, stand up and talk, what do you do if you are tired?"

Nian Xi stepped forward and sat down next to the old man.

The old grandpa looked at his eldest grandson, and said with distress: "You look so bad, are you bothering yourself again? Do you want to invite the imperial physician over?"

Nian Xi shook his head, just smiled and didn't speak.

Nian Fu stood there, looking at the happy situation of his grandparents and grandchildren in front of him, he felt extremely glaring, couldn't hold back any longer, and raised his voice: "Grandpa and elder brother are chatting first, grandson is going back first."

The old man raised his head, waved his hands, and said, "Go, go."

Nian Fu said goodbye to Nian Xi and his wife, and strode away.

Seeing that the old man was not happy, Nian Xi waved his hand and asked his wife to go down first, and then said: "Grandfather, we are all a family, why bother to blame him? He was still a child at that time."

The old man snorted coldly, and said: "Son? The child can give you eye drops in front of your father, and provoke Jue Luo to force Bi to come back to Beijing?"

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the Nian family is no exception.

There's nothing unusual about it, it's just that brothers are against each other, the younger brother plots against the older brother;

Nian Xi didn't want to mention these messy things, so he shut his mouth and stopped talking.

The old man sighed and stopped talking about it, just said: "We only clean ours, let them make trouble."

Nian Xi smiled, took out a booklet from his sleeve, and presented it to the elderly grandpa with both hands, saying: "Grandfather, grandson has drawn up a booklet for this month, can you help me look at it?"

When the old man heard the words, his face was full of anger, and he didn't accept the book, he said: "Didn't I tell you, stop working hard, what are you doing?"

Just as Nian Xi was about to speak, his face turned pale, and he coughed while rubbing his chest.

Seeing this, the old man jumped in surprise, and patted his grandson on the back vigorously, only then helped him stop his cough.

Nian Xi coughed up tears, and some blood was added to his face, he said with a sneer, "It's not that my grandson disobeyed my grandfather, it's just that I'm in his position to seek his own government."

Knowing that his eldest grandson was stubborn, the old man shook his head helplessly, finally took the paper and opened it.

Looking at it, his expression became more and more serious, and finally his face sank, and he stared at Nian Xi and said, "Who is talking about this in front of you to lead you to write such a note?"

Seeing his grandfather change his face, Nian Xi was a little apprehensive, and said, "No one told my grandson about the premise, it was my grandson who came up with it himself. Now the national treasury is empty, and the internal treasury is also tight... A few days ago, my grandson entered the palace by order. Greetings to the empress, the meal reserved by the empress only has eight grades of dishes, and I heard that the imperial court does not exceed ten grades. Fujian is a place where it can't make ends meet. Because the governor implemented "returning fire consumption to the public" in the province a few years ago, the provincial treasury already has more than silver……"

Hearing that no one else was involved, the elderly old man let out a long breath and said, "Think about your uncle and father, this booklet cannot be handed over!"

Nian Xi is already in his twenties, and he is no longer a bookworm who doesn't understand the world.

Seeing his grandfather's reaction, his originally hot heart suddenly cooled down.

That's right, he is a true censor, but before that, he was a descendant of the Nian family.

This "returning the fire consumption to the public" is a good government that benefits the country and the people, but it is to offend all foreign officials, for the sake of the family...

*
The next day when Nianfu arrives in Beijing, please see your majesty.

Although he does not have a formal official position, he is a newly released first-class student, and he is also the "special envoy" sent back by Nian Gengyao, so he is qualified to submit a letter for an order.

It's the day, which happens to be the value of the household department.

Cao Yong, who came down from the imperial front, saw the young man waiting outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Nian Fu was completely dressed, and stood aside, bowing his head in a gesture of respect.

Cao Yong glanced at him, said nothing, and left with several officials from the household department.The sixteenth elder brother is already sharpening his sword, this rich man who thinks he is a handsome young man should be something to watch.

Because of paying attention, Cao Yong was very concerned about the news of Nianfu.

Two days later, I heard that Nian Fu fell ill due to "acclimatization".

When Cao Yong heard about it, he felt a lot more relaxed, and felt a little boring.

Whether it's him or the sixteenth elder brother, anger is always anger, but Nian Gengyao is always taboo in his heart.

Although the old man didn't like his third grandson, he heard that he was ill, so he went to visit him the next day.Seeing that his grandson was pitifully ill, the old man softened his heart and said: "Tell me to clean up and go back with me to take care of him."

The result was unexpected, no matter what the old man said, Nian Fu would not move.

In the end, the old man had no choice but to ask someone to take his post to ask the imperial doctor to confirm that his grandson was really fine before leaving.

On Yongzheng's side, he also got the news earlier, but there has been no movement.

When Nian Xi was ill, Yongzheng either sent people to send some ginseng, or called the imperial physician to intervene, and he was more concerned about his nephew than his own nephew; when Nian Fu fell ill, there was no movement in the palace.This has aroused people's curiosity.

At this time, someone mentioned the identity of the young rich as a concubine.

Although he is a first-class son now, with infinite glory, he is not as good as his elder brother Nian Xi at all.Nian Xi is the eldest son, if there is no accident, he will inherit the first-class duke.

As a result, those officials and gentry who wanted to curry favor with the Nian family in the name of "visiting the sick" quickly shifted their positions.Instead of visiting Nianfu directly, the old man met Nianxi last year.

Nian Xi was in no mood to argue with them, claiming that he would not be sick...

*
In the teahouses in the capital, there was more talk.

Liu San's eldest cousin at Qianmen was on duty at Chongwenmen, and saw Nian's convoy entering Beijing.

There is absolutely nothing unusual in the car, because it takes two people to carry that small box.

Some people said that the convoy transported all gold, but they didn't know whether it was to honor the person in the palace or to honor their own elderly.

Some people also said that Nian Gengyao made enough money in this victory in Qinghai, and is now the "King of the Northwest".

The gossip was all about the Nian family.

Cao Yong felt that it was wrong, the rumors were very lively, and some discerning people could see that there were people behind it who were fueling the flames and exaggerating, but the common people believed their ears...

The big net to capture Nian Gengyao has been unfolded in the hands of the emperor.

Compared with everyone's expectations last year, this year everyone's thoughts on the escort beyond the Great Wall are much less.Because everyone knows that even thinking about it is in vain.

Even the 10,000+ taels of silver for the construction of the Changchun Garden, the emperor is reluctant, so how can he be willing to take the clan and officials to escape the summer outside the Great Wall?
Sure enough, at the end of March, Yongzheng made a decree, and the Mongolian princes took turns to visit Beijing.

Although he was reluctant to part with money, Yongzheng was indeed afraid of the heat.

Therefore, on the first day of April, Yongzheng took his concubine and moved to Changchun Garden.

As a result, the princes and ministers of the capital also moved to Haidian Garden one after another to escape the summer heat.

On Cao Yong's side, after discussing with Chu Yu, the whole family went out of the city to escape the summer heat.Because Mr. Fuli also went with him, so did Tianhu and Tianyang brothers of Dongfu.

Prince Chun also brought his family and moved to the Wangyuan adjacent to the Cao family.

The two families are relatives by marriage, so they have to have dinner and dinner together.

Lord Chun is not in charge of the affairs of the Ministry now, and he is just leisurely. When Cao Yong was resting, he asked Cao Yong to play chess in the past, but what he said was about Ganzhou.

Cao Yong thought that his father-in-law was concerned about his errands, so he told the story of building a new city and resettling immigrants.

After hearing this, Prince Chun lost interest, and asked directly about the garrison.

Cao Yong has been in Ganzhou for half a year, and he is also responsible for the logistics of the Northwest Army, so he knows the Northwest Army clearly.

Prince Chun listened with great interest, his eyes were far away, as if he was remembering something.

Cao Yong realized later that he noticed the strangeness of his father-in-law.

His eyes fell on Prince Chun's broken leg, and he sighed in his heart. Unhappy things in the world, nine out of ten...
