Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1080
At the end of June, the Cao Mansion welcomed visitors from afar.

Wei Xin's concubine, Sister Gui, arrived in Beijing by boat from Jiangning with Wei Xin's three children.Escorting them to the north was not only the several stewards sent by the Cao family, but also Wei Xin's elder brother Wei Ren.

Since the old man and the old lady of the Wei family died of illness last year, Cao Yong sent Zheng Hu to Jiangning to discuss with the Wei family brothers about moving north.

Come and go again and again, and it will not take place until now.

Although Jiang Ning still had several uncles after his grandparents died of illness, they had separated.For the few orphans who do not have the protection of their parents, if they have parents who love them, it will not be the turn of Cao Yong, a person with a foreign surname, to make the decision.

Wei Xin's eldest son, Wen Jie, is 17 years old. He passed the exam last year, but he didn't attend the exam because of mourning. His second son, Wen Zhi Fifteen, won the martial arts exam this spring.

Wenying, the third son of Wei Xin, had adopted the third wife of the Wei family in his early years and stayed in Jiangning, instead of going to Beijing with his elder brothers.

The eldest daughter, Wen Fang, is 16 years old. She was ruled by her grandmother during her lifetime, and her aunt was married. Last year, the old lady got married before she was critically ill.

Wei Xin was a flirtatious young man, and took seven concubines in Guangzhou. Except for the eldest concubine Guijie who was served by his side, the others were all beauties.Therefore, these sons and daughters, the male is handsome, the female is beautiful, and they all look good.

Especially the youngest daughter, Wen Qiang, has already shown her beauty, and she can be seen to be a beautiful fetus. .

The reason why Wei Ren nodded in agreement with his nephew and niece to go north was because he was worried about this niece, apart from caring about the future of the nephew.

Over the years, with the Cao family moving north, Wei Xin disappearing, and the old man of the Wei family getting old, the Wei family's snobbery in Jiangning is no longer what it used to be.

Although he also has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, there is no help. Some of his children have studied and become officials, but they are just donating a small official in the local area.

Wei Ren is also someone who has seen the world, so he knows that his niece's appearance, without power to protect her, is the root cause of trouble.

As early as the beginning of the year, Cao Yong had people buy a house outside the front door, two Zhuangzi, and a few shops that could be used for rent, after getting the approval letter from the Wei family brothers to enter Beijing.It was Cao Yong's own pocket, and Wei Xin didn't use the money left behind.

Wei Xin kept the tens of thousands of taels of silver and asked Cao Yong to divide it into six shares.One of them was given to Sister Gui as a private house when she went to Jiangning; the other was added several thousand taels, so that people bought a dowry Zhuangzi in Jiangning for Wen Fang.

For the remaining four, Cao Yong did not move, and planned to wait for Wenjie and the others to grow up before distributing them to them.

Unexpectedly, besides Cao Yong, Wei Ren was also planning for their brothers.

When he came to Beijing this time, besides sending off his nephews and nieces, he also brought a dozen boxes of silver.This is what he got from selling 2 hectares of land, with a total of [-] taels of silver.

"3000 taels will be used as a dowry for my niece, 2000 taels will be used as a pension for Aunt Gui, and the remaining 1 taels will be used to buy property, and 5000 taels will be used as wives for my nephews." Wei Ren entrusted all the silver to Cao Yong.

Although Wei Xin had been operating in Guangzhou for more than ten years, the amount of money he sent back to Jiangning was less than 2 taels, but it was all in the public house at that time.

In addition to the money from the family division, Wei Ren can also prepare these for his nephews and nieces, which is considered the utmost benevolence.

Cao Yong asked people to count and put them in the warehouse, and entertained Wei Ren into the living room.Aunt Gui and Wenjie brothers and sisters asked Tianyou to accompany them, and went into the inner house to greet Gao Taijun and Li Shi.

The host and guest sat down, and the servant served tea.

Cao Yong asked: "Didn't Lingtang mention at that time that he wanted to tell Wenjie the daughter of the Qin family? Why didn't the nephew and daughter-in-law marry, but married the niece instead?"

This Qin family is Wei Xin's brother-in-law's family, and one of the few gentry in Jiangning City.When Cao Yong made friends with Wei Xin in the early years, he also went in and out of Qin's house with him.

Wei Xin's brother-in-law Qin Zhi, like Wei Ren, once worked in Zhizao Mansion.

A few years ago, he was working as an official in the capital, and he even visited Cao's house.Because he was an old friend of Jiangning, Cao Yong also asked Cao Yuan to go to the official department to help him accomplish things and make up the magistrate of Linfu in Jiangning.

Wei Zhi also knows how to be grateful. Every time he sent people to Beijing these years, he never forgot to go to Cao's house to pay his respects.

When Qin's eldest daughter was full moon, Cao Yong hadn't left Jiangning yet, and had followed Wei Ren to join in the fun.I heard that the old lady of the Wei family wanted to tell Wen Jie that the granddaughter of the Qin family was his wife. Although Cao Yong did not approve of the marriage between the aunt and cousin, he could still sympathize with the old man's kindness.

The wealth of the Qin family is no less than that of the Wei family.Such a marriage can be regarded as a good match.

Knowing that Wen Jie had this marriage, Cao Yong worried that he would not leave Jiangning.

Unexpectedly, when Wen Fang got married, it was the Qin family who married.

Unless the family is poor, there is no reason to change relatives.Now that Wen Fang has joined the Qin family, there may be changes in Wen Jie's marriage.

Hearing Cao Yong's question about this, Wei Ren revealed a bitter expression, sighed, and said, "It's shameful to say it...it's because I'm incompetent that I made my nephew feel wronged..."

When Cao Yong heard this, his face was cold, and he looked at Wei Ren with anger: "The Qin family ruined the marriage? Then why did you let the niece marry?"

In Wei Ren's impression, Cao Yong was still the elegant boy he was when he was young.Seeing his face change, he couldn't help but startled.

Cao Yong couldn't help but be annoyed. He didn't care about the grievances of the children in the past few years. When he went to Jiangning that year, he reminded Wei Ren that he couldn't wrong these children any more.If it weren't for the presence of the old lady and old man of the Wei family, Cao Yong would have brought several children back to Beijing.

For girls, getting married is another major event in life.If you marry the wrong person, your life will be ruined.Now that the Qin family has lost their integrity and repented of the marriage and treated their nephews poorly, how can they treat their nieces kindly?
Wei Ren blushed, and said: "Qin's rank has been promoted to magistrate, and the wife of Futai wants to get married...Because of the marriage between the Wei and Qin families, the Qin family got married separately...The old lady and I did not agree to marry the Qin family. We discussed marriage again, but our aunt went to the old lady to ask for it in person. My niece and nephew of the Qin family also grew up together. The two children are childhood sweethearts, and they are about the same age."

Since the value of Qin has risen step by step, the Wei family is in decline. It is already a wrong family.The original kiss became more intimate, and became the Wei family's favorite.

It is certainly shameful for the Qin family to climb another high branch, but it is also common in the world.

Cao Yong's good impression of Qin Zhi turned into disgust, frowned and said: "Wen Jie is a man with ideas, what does he say?"

A few years ago, when Wen Jie was still a child, he planned to follow his father's lead in running a business and earn money to support his younger siblings; he also wanted to go south to Guangzhou to find his father.As the eldest son, that child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, he still passed the imperial examination.

Wei Ren let out a long breath, and said: "Wen Jie is a sensible person. Wen Fang's dowry was all arranged by him himself. This child must be strong. Originally, he didn't show his homework, but he worked hard but his grades were mediocre. Since he knew about the change in his marriage, He just concentrated on studying hard, and insisted on passing the exam. The old lady asked him before she was alive, whether she complained or not. He said, not complaining, but happy. Wen Fang has a soft temper, and it is better to go to an aunt's house to be a daughter-in-law than to go to someone else's house. The test of merit is not for your own size, but for the sake of making no trouble when younger siblings get married in the future."

At the end, his eyes were already red: "Such a good boy, but he is forced to separate from the family. It is my uncle who has no virtue. I am sorry for the fifth brother. Their brothers want to come to the north, and the relatives of the clan ask me to stop them." Thinking, thinking that they are all juren, and they will be able to pull the big guys when they have a future in the future. But I have no face to stop me. I know that Mr. Cao has a good relationship with our fifth child, and it is inevitable that these nephews and nieces will be together in the future. Entrust it to Lord Cao."

When Cao Yong heard this, he also felt panicked in his heart, and said after a while: "They are my own nephews... As long as I am here, I will never wrong them..."

Lanyuan, go to the room.

Gao Taijun took Wen Qiang's hand and said to Li Shi: "Look at this appearance, it looks like the person in the painting, even more handsome than Wu'er and Xiangyu..."

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "The old lady likes it, so let's keep the girl and put it in the old lady's yard..."

"I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm afraid that my sister will be bored..." Gao Taijun said, turning his head to Aunt Gui who was sitting on the stool, "It's hard for you to take good care of the children. My brothers are sensible, and my sister is also dignified... ..."

She had already heard Mrs. Li mention the life experiences of these children, knowing that they lost their parents and lived with their grandparents, and were taken care of by the second-bedroom aunt in front of her since they were young, she felt a little more pity for them.

Aunt Gui got up and said: "I can't be praised by the old matriarch, but I just did my duty as a maidservant. Now that I have defected here today, the young master and the young lady will ask the old matriarch and the madam to be more loving..."

As soon as she stood up to answer, Wen Jie, Wen Zhi, and Wen Qiang also stood up.

The respect the brothers and sisters have for Aunt Gui is beyond words.

Earlier, Mrs. Li had some complaints about Wei Xin entrusting his children to a concubine who was born as a maidservant. Now that he saw Aunt Gui, he finally understood why Wei Xin trusted her.

Although he is not as good-looking as Zijing, his words and deeds have the shadow of Zijing, and he is a stable person.

Seeing that everyone got up, she hurriedly said to Aunt Gui: "Sit down and talk, nourishing favors is greater than giving births, if you try your best to tease them, you will always be rewarded!"

Tianyou sat next to Wenjie and Wenzhi brothers to accompany the guests, instead of looking at Wen Qiang, the little beauty beside Gao Taijun, he looked at Aunt Gui several times.

Mrs. Li asked Wen Jie and Wen Zhi about their homework, and when they heard that both of them had won the exam, they had to give it another compliment.Thinking of himself, Tianyou looked embarrassed, looked away, and sat with him obediently.

On Chuyu's side, people have already prepared a gift, and then they invite Tianhui, Changsheng, and Niuniu to meet the guests.Hang Seng and Zuo Zhu brothers haven't come back yet, so we can't see each other for the time being.

Hearing Tianyou call Niuniu "aunt", Wen Jie and Wen Zhi had to salute as a junior.

Niu Niu has always been in the mansion and has always been of the elder generation, although she sees a man with a different surname now, she doesn't notice anything.Seeing that she was young, Wen Jie and Wen Zhi were somewhat embarrassed.

The two brothers are older, it is not good for them to stay in the inner house for a long time, and they have seen everyone, so they followed Tianyou to the front yard.

Seeing the beautiful Wen Qiang, Niu Niu and Tian Hui liked it very much; even Chang Sheng couldn't take their eyes off it.

When Niu Niu heard that she wanted to stay, she invited Wen Qiang to live with her. The girls were chirping and getting acquainted after a while...
