Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1081 The Contented Man
Among the three brothers and sisters of the Wei family, what Chu Yu valued the most was not the little beauty Wen Qiang, but the young man Wen Jie.

When it was time to settle down in the evening, she praised Wen Jie without hesitation: "Master, Wen Jie is a good kid. He is grateful and courteous, and he treats brothers and sisters kindly. He is like a grown-up, a bit like how he was when he was young."

Cao Yong also likes Wenjie more, because he is not smart enough to be able to win the exam, if he didn't study hard, he wouldn't have this achievement.Given his age, it is not easy for his mind to be so perseverant.

Whether it is becoming an official or learning how to manage business, as long as he shows this resilience, there will always be a bright future.

"When Wei Wu was a child, he was a rich and noble child. He never suffered a little. These children were dependent on others and suffered a lot. Can't be wrong." Cao Yong thought of Wei Xin who had been missing for several years, but he still didn't want to believe that he passed away, and his mood was a little depressed.

Wei Xin, who hated reading when he was a teenager, would call a bookworm useless if he knew that his eldest son had won the Juren.

Chu Yu didn't notice Cao Yong's displeasure, and said excitedly: "Wen Jie is a good person, and his age is also the same, but he is not in the flag. But it's nothing, just let someone make up for it."

"Eh?" Cao Yong heard something wrong, said: "Age similar?"

"Master, Shuping is fourteen..." Chu Yu said: "The two aunts in Rongyuan mentioned this matter at the beginning of the year. The fifth younger sister has left the cabinet, and Shuping is only half a year younger than Wu'er. She is exempt from election. , let's not talk about it for her, who will do it for her. The old lady was originally optimistic about Brother Li'er from the aunt's family, but she didn't mention it because of her inferior seniority. But I think Brother Li'er is high-minded. Also working as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, maybe he will choose Shuping's family status." Chu Yu said.

Niu Niu nominally calls Cao Yong and his wife sister-in-law, but in fact Cao Yong and Chu Yu also raised her as a daughter.

Hearing Chu Yu mention this, Cao Yong turned sideways, and just wanted to say something about Niu Niu who was still young, but he thought that Wuer, who was the same age as Niu Niu, had already entered the palace, and his wife married him at the age of fifteen , I swallowed the words when I was young, and said: "You are right, Sun Li can't do it. Don't say that the big family is a mess, but with Sun Li's intelligence, even if you don't get the first in this subject, you can't escape the next one." Yes. A young Scholar, who is proud of his spring breeze, does not know where he will go. If he grows up and is as lustful as his father, wouldn't he cheat Niu Niu."

Hearing what her husband said, Chu Yu was not easy to answer, or else she seemed to be picking right and wrong, belittling her nephew, and said: "It's not like that, looking at him these years, he is a sensible person."

"When his father was young, he was proud of his youth and was praised by everyone, but he has not reached the current situation. He is the eldest son and grandson, and he experienced twists and turns when he was young. His temper was too sharp, and he finally lost his kindness." Cao Yong sighed. He took a deep breath and said: "It will take a few more years to see what it will look like."

Looking at later generations, Sun Li has some psychological barriers.After all, when his parents broke up, he was already in his teens, and it was time to develop his mood.

Cao Yong has already found out that this nephew is a bit inappropriate, and every time he sees him, he will make insincere words to explain, but the effect is not great.

Not only did Sun Li have resentment towards the Sun family, but he also alienated everyone in the Cao family. In the past two years, he even used his studies as an excuse to rarely go back to the Cao family with his mother.

This can be regarded as a period of rebellion, Cao Yong can only persuade Cao Ying a few times, telling her to pay attention to this son, show more love, and overcome the depression in his heart.

"Filial piety is the first thing to do. Although Brother Li'er has a lonely temper, he is pure filial piety when he treats his aunt and grandma. There is nothing wrong with him," Chu Yu said.

Cao Yong listened, but did not object to this.It is true that Sun Li is filial to his mother, but his resentment towards his father is beyond doubt.If it weren't for being polite and disciplined, I'm afraid he would have disowned that father long ago.

Although Sun Li's resentment is justifiable based on Sun Jue's past behavior, but it's better for a man to be more generous.

Back then, Sun Jue was lacking in heart and walked to a dead end step by step.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong could not help frowning.

No matter how gentle Wen Jie behaves now, in fact, his childhood situation was not as good as that of Sun Li.

Sun Li has complaints, but Wen Jie has no complaints?

"Don't worry, let's wait for a year or so. If Wenjie is really good-natured, let the two children see each other more. After all, it's a lifetime event." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

Although the Cao family is in the banner, they usually practice the etiquette of the Han people.

Chu Yu was worried that her husband would oppose the matter because of her seniority, so she counted Wenjie's benefits.Unexpectedly, her husband had no objection, so she was satisfied.

As for the length of time, she didn't care much.

Cao Yong said a long time ago that these children of his own should not marry too early, they must be able to get married...

*
Everyone in the Wei family was detained for three days.

Because Aunt Gui wanted to furnish the new house as soon as possible, she took Wenjie and brother and sister to leave Cao's house three days later, but the new house was abandoned.

In the courtyard over there, Cao Yong has already arranged for people to tidy up the house.For the past few days, Wei Ren lived there.

Cao Yong has to go to the yamen every day as an errand, and the time is not cheap, so he entrusted the affairs of the Wei family to Tianyou.

Because Tianyou is already a student, Qi Xue only needs to go there for half a day every day, so he is free.Tianyou borrowed Zhang Yi from his father and brought a few servants to help the brothers and sisters of the Wei family relocate.

The household registrations of the brothers and sisters of the Wei family were from Jiangning to Shuntian Mansion.

Because of the real estate shop, even if it is not under the banner of the Cao family, it can be done quickly.

Because there were only two servants and two servant girls who followed Wenjie and the others into Beijing, so Tianyou sent Ren Yazi to take people through the Wei residence, and asked Aunt Gui to make the decision, and picked two servants and four little maids. .

Although he is only thirteen, he is already tall and straight, he has lost the innocence of a child, and has a little more youthful spirit.In addition, I have been influenced by my parents all these years, without arrogance and extravagance, and get along with others in a gentle and polite manner.

Just as Chuyu fell in love with Wenjie, Aunt Gui also liked Tianyou very much.

But she also knew that the identities of the two families were very different, even if the Cao family took care of them, it was not appropriate to have delusional thoughts, so she could only sigh.

Hang Seng, on the other hand, accompanied his elder brother to Wei's house for a while, and Wen Zhi shared the same interests and hit it off right away.

It's not his fault, he is the only one among the Cao family's children and relatives' cousins ​​who likes to wield knives and guns.Now there is Wen Zhi who also loves martial arts, how can he not fall in love with him?

Hearing that Wen Zhi had won the martial arts examination and was about to take part in the martial arts test, and then asked to become a military officer, Hang Seng also felt itchy.What he never forgets in his heart is being a bodyguard.

Knowing that his grandfather was a bodyguard and his father was also a bodyguard, Hang Seng also wholeheartedly waited for him to grow up and wanted to be a bodyguard.

If he had a choice, he wished he could quit his companion right now and enter the guard's office.

But he was too young, and he didn't just enter the guard's office whenever he wanted, so he could only wait.

Fortunately, elder brother Hongli saw what he was thinking, and he agreed to help him make up the guards in the future.

Hongli is fourteen this year, and when he is sixteen, he will no longer go to the study room, and naturally he will no longer need companionship.For him, arranging a future for his companion reading is just a matter of effort.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of July, Cao Yong's birthday.

Because it wasn't a whole birthday, Cao's house didn't do much, but just set up a few tables of wine and food to entertain relatives and friends who came to celebrate the birthday.

Both the Prince Ping couple and the Seshtu couple arrived. After the banquet, Naersu called Cao Yong in private, and there was a heart-to-heart talk between the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law.

After last year's draft, the palace only pointed out Fu Peng to a side Fujin with a low background. Neersu and Cao Jia thought that they did not point out their eldest son this time, and it seemed that they would have to wait for the next draft.

No, a few days ago Cao Jiashi went to Changchun Garden with several Fujins from other palaces to greet the queen, and the queen talked to Cao Jiashi about Fu Peng's big wedding.

"According to the Queen's opinion, Fei Mo, the granddaughter of the late University scholar Wenda, was selected for Fu Peng. Although she is the granddaughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Governor's first daughter, she was born in a noble family of the Eight Banners, but her father and grandfather are dead, and the family has declined. look." Na Ersu looked disappointed, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the selection of the eldest daughter-in-law.

Even though he had known for a long time that the eldest son's marriage was beyond his control, he still hoped that his son's marriage would be successful.

Fei Mo's grandfather, Wen Da, was an official to the University of Wenhuadian; his father, Guo Li, was also a well-known talent in the Eight Banners, and was an official to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.Such an aristocratic daughter brought up by other people is considered a good match for Fu Peng as his first wife.

However, Wen Da died in Kangxi's 54th year, and Guo Li died of illness in Kangxi's 55th year. Although there are still some of the minister's children, they are only six officials.

In the officialdom, people always leave tea cold, not to mention that the prime minister's mansion has been neglected for more than ten years.

In name it was the queen who ordered the marriage, but in fact it was the emperor who made the decision behind it.

Cao Yong and Na Ersu looked at each other, but they didn't say a word, but they all knew that this was the emperor's guard against the clan.

"Wen Jiangong once wrote and revised the history of the country, and he was also the president of "Ming History". Good match." At this point, Cao Yong could only persuade him with good words.

Na Ersu smiled bitterly, and said: "I can only hope for this. If I had known today, if you and my aunt were married, your sister could get what she wanted. Although she was born in a prime minister's family, she lost her father at a young age. , After all, there are few people to teach. It’s okay if you are gentle, but if you are aggressive, you will make your house restless.”

Not to mention orphaned daughters who lost their fathers, even girls from prominent and popular families like Long Keduo and Nian Gengyao would not be able to make trouble if they married into the palace.After all, the person in charge of the inner house of the palace is Cao Jia, the descendant of Fujin.There is also the title of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so I can't toss about it at all.

Na Ersu said this, but he was dissatisfied with the emperor's defense against the clan.He has just passed his thirties, full of ambitions, but limited by his status, he can only live on a meager life, and he is depressed, which can be imagined.

"Let's think about it, pointing to this marriage, so that the elder brother does not have the burden of his relatives, maybe he can go further in the court in the future." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

Fu Peng is now living in the palace, but he is still studying in the upper study, and has a very good relationship with Hongli and Hongzhou.

Even if Naersu takes a idle job, with Fu Peng around, the status of the Ping Palace will be guaranteed for the next few decades.

Hearing Cao Yong's words, Na Ersu understood what he was referring to. After a moment of stunned, Fang sighed quietly, and said: "I forced it... Thanks to Brother Yong for reminding me, I have traveled a lot less these years." Detours, I have already gained more than others, and I should be content..."

Tears running, about to fall out of the top five in history, Xiao Jiu waved a small flag to ask for monthly tickets...
