Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1079

Under the stage, Hongxin couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene, and turned around and said, "Second brother, you made this up? Didn't you say it was a restaurant? Why is there a stage?" Han held up a stone pier not far away, and changed his words again: "There is still a martial arts hall?"

Even though he said that, he didn't believe it himself.

Bannermen win the world from horseback, and men of the Eight Banners must learn to ride and shoot when they are over ten years old.Most powerful families have school grounds, and those stone piers are also common, but he clearly remembered that his brother told himself that he had someone open a restaurant.

Hong Zhuo rolled his eyes triumphantly, and said: "What did you say, it's obviously a restaurant, and this is the 'Hero's Residence', isn't it grand?"

Hong Xin still finds it unbelievable, but she still follows Hong Zhuo forward, but her heart is full of slander.But how can you say that a house with three entrances is grand or not?
After walking a few steps forward, I discovered the difference in this yard.The four circles are all houses, not to mention, and they all have four doors open.In some rooms, people are already sitting, talking loudly.

There was already a manager who bowed to greet him, and Hongxin saw that he was familiar, it was his brother's nanny Han Lu.

After the elder brother lived in another mansion, Han Lu's father became the chief steward of the new mansion, and the business here was handed over to Han Lu, which shows how much his elder brother relied on his father and son.

"Second Master, Fifth Master..." Han Lu bowed to pay his respects, and led the two of them into the room to the north of the West Wing.

In the room, there is a round table.There is a huge copper teapot and a large blue and white bowl with a diameter of half a foot.

Hong Xin couldn't help being amazed, and said, "Second brother, why don't you go to the room?"

"The upper rooms are all private seats, and the things are private rooms... Those who are willing to be private rooms can sit in the private rooms, and those who are willing to be private seats can sit in the private rooms. Otherwise, you also know that those men are used to being picky. If they all It's a private room, and everyone has to grab the main room, who would give up and sit in the side room?" Hong Zhuo said with a hum.

Hearing this, Hongxin glanced at Han Lu next to him.Being able to think so thoughtfully and meticulously, he appointed not his brother Mang, but the big shopkeeper of the "restaurant".

At this time, Hong Zhuo had already ordered: "Your fifth master loves beef, so here are three catties of sauced beef, two roasted lamb legs, and two catties of pancakes! A jar of 'Kuixing Wine'."

Han Lu went down in response, Hongxin was taken aback for a while, and said, "Second brother? Is this really a restaurant?"

"Haha, who is going to scare you?" Hong Zhuo laughed.

At this moment, a few more people entered the courtyard. It was the children of Prince Jian's mansion who brought their friends over. He and Hong Zhuo also had an old relationship. They met each other before they went to the box opposite.

The two brothers were talking while drinking a large bowl of tea. Han Lu personally brought a few young men in green clothes to serve the food and drinks.

There are two large plates one and a half feet square, one with a piece of beef in sauce, one with two roast legs of lamb, and one with a stack of flatbread.The wine jar is also rough, at least one jar contains five or six catties of wine.

In front of the two brothers, there was a blue and white porcelain plate. Besides bamboo chopsticks, there was also a half-foot-long bamboo knife on the plate.

Before the two brothers moved their chopsticks, there was a burst of gongs in the yard.

Hong Xin raised his head, so he was facing the high platform in the yard.

There was already a person jumping on the high platform, wearing a spun silk gown, but it was hard to hide his sturdy aura, and while beating the gong, he said auspicious words in a loud voice.Although he meant to say hello, but his slender figure and tough appearance made him not humble, but rather bold.

After he finished his auspicious words, he saw two more strong men come on stage, one in blue and the other in dark red, both dressed in bunts with braids around their necks and bare arms.

Seeing this, Hong Xin said, "It turned out to be wrestling!"

Hong Zhuo nodded triumphantly, and said: "Would you like to play two games? There are two tables in the backyard for guests to play with. I practice twice a day. It really makes me feel much more comfortable when I move my muscles..."

There were only two people left on the stage, their arms were entangled, and they looked around the room, there were occasional applause...

*
In the capital, there are no secrets at all, let alone Emperor Yongzheng, who is most concerned about the dynamics of the capital.

Just a few days after the opening of Hongzhuo's "Hero's Residence", the secret report on the sticky pole and the impeachment of the censor were sent to Changchun Garden.

"A restaurant where you can watch the wrestling scene?" Yongzheng put the two books together, pondered for a while, and asked the thirteenth elder brother who came to discuss the matter: "What do you think of the thirteenth brother?"

Elder Brother Thirteen thought for a while, and said: "It's just a place for young people to have fun. Speaking of going there, it's better than gambling halls and brothels... It's just that they are all young people, so it's inevitable that they will be arrogant and have quarrels." Time. When there is a lot of trouble, there will be fists and kicks. Although it is good for young people to be more bloody... But it is inevitable that the elders will worry about it..." At the end of the speech, there was a bit of helplessness.

Yongzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Hongchang has gone too..."

Hongchang is the eldest son of the thirteenth elder brother. He is only 19 years old this year, but he has already been conferred the title of son-in-law and lives in another house.His situation is the same as that of Hongzhuo, but his title is higher than that of Hongzhuo.

Although he is the eldest son of the palace, but because there are several younger brothers who are descended from the aunt, and his father and aunt are affectionate, Hongchang's status is also awkward, and the relationship between father and son is not considered close.

Brother Thirteen nodded and said: "Those who are already married are still not stable. They are very obsessed with wrestling these days. He is not tall and strong, but he loses nine out of ten rounds. I am an Ama. Followed by embarrassment. Finally, there is some resilience, but it is useless."

Although the words were reprimanded, the tone did not mean to blame.

Yongzheng knocked on the table and said: "It's not good to let them be idle all the time. You discuss it with Prince Jane and draw up a list. For the children of the clan who have reached the age of 20 and have no errands, pick some available ones to enter the guards! Experience first Let’s talk in a few years.”

The Thirteenth Elder Brother was a little surprised when he heard the words, and said, "Your Majesty, among the bodyguards, there are quotas for the clan's children..."

"There are not many bodyguards, so add some more places for the imperial family bodyguards." Yongzheng made a firm statement and finalized the matter.

Different from the direct clans of the royal family whose power makes people fearful, these offshoots of the clan are easier to subdue and use.

This "restaurant" incident made Yongzheng see the brave side of the clan's children.If these people are used well, they may be the magic weapon to check and balance the descendants of the royal palaces...

If any prince Baylor is disobedient in the future, there will always be someone who inherits the throne...

In a blink of an eye, it was mid-June, the [-]th elder brother's [-]th birthday.

Because it was a whole birthday, the birthday banquet was not held in Haidian King's Garden, but in Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

Cao Yong and his wife also went back to the city to attend the birthday banquet.

Sixteenth elder brother is the younger brother of the emperor, and also the powerful prince. There are an endless stream of guests who come to congratulate him.

It is Cao Yong, but also played a mask with the sixteenth elder brother.But Cao Yong could see that he was really happy, and his complexion was much better than half a month ago.

The gloomy air that had condensed between his brows earlier had dissipated.

As early as the beginning of the month, he used the excuse of organizing a birthday banquet and went back to the city to live.Instead of bringing that side Fujin, he brought Xinna's Shu Fujin back to the city.

Everyone said that Elder Sixteen had a new favorite.

He also said that it was impossible for Cian Fujin to steal chickens and lose money, and he wanted to use his confidant maid to win over sixteen elder brothers, but instead let the newcomer take over.Half a year after marrying into the palace, she fell out of favor.

Cao Yong knew that this was Sixteenth Prince's counterattack against Tai Fujin, Prince Zhuang.

Based on his relationship with Shiliu Fujin, he would not just sit back and watch his first wife be neglected.

Sure enough, Tai Fujin was "recovering from his illness" in Haidian for the birthday banquet of the palace and did not show up.The sixteenth Fujin entered the palace for a year and a half, and finally he was no longer constrained, and he was truly the head of the family, proud of himself.

Brother Sixteen can do this, presumably because he is no longer afraid of Tai Fujin's suppression.

After these two years of forbearance to Tai Fujin, all the dignitaries in the capital knew that although Elder Sixteen was the heir of the royal family, he was the "most filial piety" of Tai Fujin.

Compared with Tai Fujin, who is very strict with his nephews and nephews, Elder Sixteen and Sixteen Fujin treat people kindly, don't spare money, and take good care of the children of the palace.

Thinking about it, even if Tai Fujin wants to make troubles in the future, I'm afraid he will be regarded as "old and foolish".Not to mention other people, even those descendants of the prince's family, there will not be a few towards her.

After returning from the birthday banquet, Chu Yu also mentioned this matter, very happy for the sixteen Fujin.

"Family and everything prospers", thinking about the embarrassment of the sixteenth elder brother in the past two years, Cao Yong is very fortunate that his family's life is still peaceful.

He also thought of Han Lu who was following Hong Zhuo. The "Hero House" which opened less than a month ago changed its big shopkeeper. It was no longer Han Lu, but a new face. "Cousin".

Although Cao Yong didn't see it with his own eyes, he heard about it, and the original worries in his heart disappeared.

It's good that someone takes over, presumably it won't take many days for Hongzhuo to have an errand.

This matter, he contributed to the flames, but he did not come forward to give pointers.That real estate was a gift from Chu Yu, the older sister after Hongzhuo divided the mansion.

The idea of ​​opening a "restaurant" was also told by Chuyu to Hongzhuo.

With "Daoxiang Village" Zhuyu in front of him, Hong Zhuo didn't doubt his sister's ability to make money.

Hongzhuo was ennobled as a general of the auxiliary country, with an annual salary of 310 taels of silver and 310 hu of Lumi.Even if there are some Zhuangzi under his name, his prospects are limited.He is used to being extravagant, how can the money be enough?However, it was not long before the government was divided, and I had some savings in my hands, so I didn't fight the famine.

Therefore, after listening to his sister's "advice", Hong Zhuo opened a "restaurant" with great interest.

Cao Yong's intention is to hope that they will make some noise and cause Yongzheng to pay attention to these children.After all, they are all idle clans with no foundation, even if there is some commotion, the emperor can only be afraid of it.

Cao Yong didn't expect this restaurant to last long, thinking that when Hong Zhuo's errand came down, he estimated that the restaurant's lifespan would come to an end.Otherwise, if it is opened for a long time, it will inevitably be suspected of forming a party for personal gain.

Unexpectedly, the big shopkeeper has changed now, and the so-called "cousin" is probably the person at the sticky pole.

That's fine, even though Hongzhuo will only bear the false name of the owner of the restaurant in the future, he can still be regarded as a servant of Yongzheng, and he can also get a name in front of the emperor...
