Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1074

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Nian Xi fell ill.

The illness was severe, and the imperial physician was invited twice, but the diagnosis results were not good.

An old man in his eighties, how could he stand up to this, and fell ill immediately.Before that, Nianxi's wife, Qigege, was also sick.

People in the mansion were in a state of panic, and there were rumors about ghosts and geomantic omens. It was the old housekeeper who dealt with two of them severely to suppress these gossips.

The noble concubine in the palace got the news and was very anxious. She begged the emperor and wanted to go back to the city from Changchun Garden to visit her father.

Although the old man has two sons, they are both big officials in the frontier, and they are not in the capital.Concubine Nian, as a daughter, had to worry a little more.

Yongzheng gave Aifei and Nian's family a lot of face, and personally brought Nian's noble concubine to Nian's family to visit relatives.

Nian Xi was already lethargic, and the old man had lost his usual vigor.Fortunately, Qi GeGe had just recovered from a serious illness, and looked a little haggard, but managed the housework with difficulty.

When Yongzheng saw the elderly grandpa, he comforted him, and asked the head of the imperial hospital to take Nianxi's pulse. However, he found out that Nianxi's cause was not a chronic illness, but an attack of anger.

Concubine Nian didn't expect this to be the reason, so she questioned the old lady worriedly.

Although Concubine Nian has parents and children, she has also been kind to her nephew Nian Xi, which cannot be compared to finding her aunt and nephew.On Yongzheng's side, he also valued Nianxi more.

Seeing his daughter's questioning, the old man looked ashamed, and refused to tell the details, only saying that it was his own fault, and he reprimanded his grandson for trivial matters, and he spoke more seriously.

One side is the nephew, the other side is the old father, although Concubine Nian is sad, but she can't say anything, she can only comfort the old father with soft words.

Yongzheng watched coldly, but he saw that something was wrong.

On the old man's side, one old and one young fell ill, and Nian Fu, the grandson and younger brother, was supposed to take care of the sick, but he has never shown up.

Concubine Nian also thought of this after a while, and the old man only said that Nian Fu had gone out of the city to visit the village.

According to him, the Nian family has several big estates outside the city, some of which were bought by the Nian family in the early years, and some were bestowed by the emperor, which belonged to the two houses of the Nian family.Because the old man is old and Nian Xi is not in good health, Zhuangzi has been watched by the housekeeper all these years.This year, when Nianfu is here, the elderly grandpa will let Nianfu go. There are two villages in Baoding, so even if you want to send a letter now, it will take some time before you see someone come back.

Concubine Nian didn't think much about it, she just said that she should send someone to find Nian Fu to return to the city to serve the sick.Chuang Tzu and others are no more important than people.

Yongzheng had already received news that Nianxi's fainting this time was not related to the old man's affairs, but to his richness.After Nian Xi fainted, the old man ordered Nian Fu to be imprisoned in the ancestral hall.

Right now, the old man is not telling the truth in front of his daughter, it seems that he does not want the royal family to interfere in the family affairs of the Nian family.

Although Yongzheng was annoyed by his age and richness, he saw that the old master made such arrangements, and there were no extra problems.

It's just that after he brought Concubine Nian back to Changchun Garden, he issued a secret decree to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Nian Mansion.

If you don't check it, it's okay to check the truth, but it's jaw-dropping.

On the day when the Nian brothers had a dispute, someone actually heard and witnessed it in the corridor.

It turned out that Qigege's illness was caused by being frightened.Nianfu, the younger brother-in-law, is really too warm to his elder sister-in-law.Although he doesn't live in the mansion here, he comes here every now and then under the pretext of paying his respects to the old man.

Every time I have to take a stroll around my eldest brother, and when I meet my eldest sister-in-law Qigege, although she is polite, she still has some "warmth" in her words and deeds.

Where had Qi Gege seen this before? Although he didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, he felt ashamed and annoyed, and then fell ill.Although she is not old, she also knows that as long as she is involved in such a thing, even if she is right, she will feel hot all over.

Bisheng is also a family scandal, so you can't tell others.She had something on her mind, and that's when she fell ill.

When Nian Xi learned of this, he sent someone to find Nian Fu and told him to stop visiting the back house here in the future.

Nian Xi suppressed his anger, but Nian Fu became angry from embarrassment. Instead, he used Nian Xi's character to blame him, accusing him of being selfish and cruel.

In the end, although he didn't stage a full martial arts show, Nianxi was overwhelmed with anger.

Although Yongzheng valued Nian Gengyao, he didn't like Nianfu who was flamboyant.Hearing this incident, he hated Nianfu even more, and even Qi Gege complained a little.

The old man locked up Nianfu, and sent someone to send an express letter to Xi'an. It seems that he wants to wait for Nian Gengyao to convict Nianfu...

These years of family affairs, only the Nian family and Yongzheng know the details, and there is a lot of chatter outside.It didn't involve Qi GeGe, but said that the two sons of the Nian family were at odds, and that Nian Xi was too hard-nosed to restrain the elders and his wife.

What Cao Yong heard was these rumors.

But what he actually knew, otherwise there would be more rumors.Although he didn't know the reason why Nian Xi and Nian Fu's brothers turned against each other, he knew that Nian Xi's illness was related to Nian Fu.

Just because he and the sixteenth elder brother made people stare at Nianfu, they knew Nianfu's whereabouts.

After Nian Fu was locked up in the ancestral hall, Brother Sixteen was so angry that he jumped up and down.He was all prepared to "recommend" Nianfu before the imperial court, but by mistake, Nianfu escaped a catastrophe...

Caoyuan, Haidian, where Chuyu lives.

Qigege was holding a veil in his hand, weeping bitterly.She combed her flag hair and wore a flag dress with light green flowers and grass patterns. Although she is a married woman, she is only fifteen this year.

Seeing this, Chuyu, the elder sister, felt uncomfortable too, and hurriedly said, "Don't cry, cry hard, and be careful not to hurt your eyes."

Qigege stood up sobbing, facing Chuyu, bent his knees, and was about to kneel down.

Chu Yu was taken aback, quickly got up to support her, and lightly reprimanded, "Sister Seven, what are you doing?"

The maidservants who came with Qi Gege also recovered and came forward to help Qi Gege.Qigege waved his hands and said in a low voice: "You all step back." As he spoke, he looked at Le Chun and Le Xia again.

In Chu Yu's heart, there was already a bit of displeasure.

If there is really an important matter between sisters, why bother to come to this first.In front of the servants, it seems that I, the older sister, has wronged my younger sister.

But Qi Gege's eyes and face were full of prayers, and tears were streaming down his face, which was really unbearable to watch.

Chu Yu's heart softened, and she asked Le Chun and the others to go down too.

There were only two sisters left in the room, Qigege cried with red eye circles: "Big sister, please, just help us once, let Doctor Fang see our uncle."

When Chu Yu heard it, he hesitated.The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are helpless, is it useful to find a prescription for the imperial physician?
Although this year Xi is not considered critically ill, he is also dangerous.Nian Gengyao was even more vindictive. If the Cao family recommended the imperial physician at this time, it would be fine if Nian Xi recovered from his illness; if there was a mistake, he might blame the Cao family.

On one side is the half-sister who hasn't gotten along very much, and on the other is her husband's family. Of course, she is more protective of the interests of the Cao family.

"Seventh Sister, Imperial Physician Fang is no longer in our house. He has already gone to Thirteenth Uncle's Palace." Chu Yu thought for a while and said, "Seventh Sister came to beg me, why not ask Thirteenth Uncle and Thirteenth Aunt?" .”

After hearing this, Qi Gege burst into tears again.

It is no secret that Mr. Fang Zhong works for Prince Yi's residence.

Everyone knows that the eldest son of Prince Yi's mansion is congenitally deficient, and he has been treated by Fang Zhonggong, who is known as a genius doctor, for the past few years.

In the past two years, some people also went to Prince Yi's mansion to seek medical treatment, but Fang Zhonggong never saw him.

In the past few years in the capital, he knows that the water in the capital is so deep that even if he saves the sick, it can cause catastrophe.

Although the thirteenth elder brother is a prince, it is not easy to force Fang Zhonggong to go to the doctor.After all, Fang Zhonggong is willing to stay in the palace to take care of the eldest son of the thirteenth elder brother, because of Cao Yong's affection.

After Nian Xi fell ill, Qi GeGe also went to Prince Yi's mansion, begging to see Thirteenth Elder Brother and Thirteenth Fujin, and begging for extension of medical treatment, but finally returned disappointed.

Now, the old imperial doctor in the imperial hospital has already quietly revealed the words, asking Qi Gege to prepare for the funeral, so as to save time and haste.Seeing what he meant, Nian Xi might not survive the winter.

Although Qi Gege was afraid that the old man would not be able to bear it and kept it hidden from others, but the old man finally saw the clue and asked his granddaughter-in-law to beg the Cao family.

If he hadn't had a stroke and his body was numb, he would have come to Cao's house in person.

Even the thirteenth elder brother and the thirteenth Fujin dare not take risks, so how could Chu Yu take care of everything.It's just that she didn't promise it, but she thought in her heart that when her husband came back, she should discuss it with him carefully, and she couldn't just watch her sister become a widow.

She is someone who has experienced it, so she can see that Seventh Sister's brows are still open, her walking is closed, and she is still a virgin.

If it was in the early years, it was not uncommon for Ge Ge in the clan to remarry. Since the first emperor respected Confucianism and respected propriety, he has paid more and more attention to women's chastity, and Ge Ge in the clan is not immune.

Although Qi Gege could sense elder sister's kindness, she was not a roundworm in her stomach after all.

Seeing her evasive again and again without a single correct word, Qi GeGe was already in despair.

She didn't stay long, so she bid farewell and left.

Chu Yu personally sent her to the second gate, and then went back to the house, wondering if there was a way to have both, so that Mr. Fang Zhong could show his face without taking responsibility and hurting the Cao family.

It's just a headache, it's not easy...

Qi Gege, who left Cao Garden, neither went to the garden next door to Prince Chun's Mansion, nor returned to the city, but asked someone to park the carriage at the intersection of Cao Garden.

Just now when she first arrived in Cao Garden, she heard Chu Yu mention that Cao Yong went to Changchun Garden to meet His Majesty, and she will return in the afternoon.

Even though she and Nian Xi were ten years apart, they were married for half a year, and they were a nominal couple, but she also knew that the foundation for her to settle down after marriage was not the royal family, but the frail man.

Now that Xixi is dying, as long as there is a glimmer of life, she, a wife, cannot give up.

When she was still a baby, the eldest sister married into the Cao family.She grew up listening to the loving stories of her elder sister and brother-in-law, and she also heard from several elder brothers that her elder brother-in-law is a kind and righteous person, since her elder sister couldn't ask for it, she could only wait to beg her elder brother-in-law brazenly.

It's May, and the heat is on the rise.

Qi Gege sat in the carriage and waited for more than an hour, dripping with sweat, until Cao Yong came back from Changchun Garden, and hurriedly ordered someone to stop the horse.

When Cao Yong reined in the horse, Qi Gege had already got off the carriage.

Cao Yong felt familiar, but just as he was thinking about which one, he saw that Qi Gege had already bowed down...
