Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1091

Turning around a few times in the same place, Elder Sixteen still obeyed Cao Yong's suggestion and went to the palace to find someone who could call the shots.

Cao Yong didn't have to catch any fish, so he wandered back home.He could also see that Elder Sixteen was angry, and he spoke harshly, but he couldn't be cruel, otherwise he wouldn't have discussed the matter with him.

Even if Tai Fujin wanted to enter the palace to greet the queen, he had to hand over the sign first and wait for the summons from the palace.

Even if she wants to make use of this matter, she still needs the queen to give her the power to make use of it.The sixteenth elder brother authorities were confused, so they forgot about this encounter.

When I returned to Wutong Garden, I saw Chuyu was in the West Room as a director, and several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were talking back. Seeing Cao Yong, he did not enter the house, but went to the small study in the East Room.

Standing behind the desk, he leaned over and took out a scroll from the porcelain vase beside the desk, and opened it. It was a small map of the territory of thirteen provinces.

Nian Gengyao arrived in Beijing before the Longevity Festival in October, and governors from all over the country will arrive one after another in September.

Before, I was thinking of meeting Brother Sixteen and asking about the release, but I didn't want to be interrupted by Brother Sixteen's family affairs and forget about it.

Cao Yong took a look at the location of the governor who was ordered to go to Beijing this time, and he didn't know what to do.It is true that there are too many people competing this time, and there are a few large provinces that have vacancies, and everyone will snatch their heads.

In fact, apart from this year's big change, next year's resignation of Nian Gengyao is also an opportunity.At that time, not only the vacancy of Northwest Governor will be vacated, but also those who have a relationship with Nian Gengyao like Li Wei, Governor of Zhili, will not be spared.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong's original eagerness disappeared.

As early as Cao Yong came back, there was a servant girl who reported to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu dismissed the daughter-in-law in charge and came to the study in person.Niuniu and Tianhui were also there, following Chuyu to learn housekeeping, followed Chuyu over, greeted Cao Yong, and then left together.

Cao Yong looked at the backs of the two of them and couldn't help frowning when he thought of the big princess in the sixteenth brother's house.

His two precious daughters are not required to be drafted, and he was not in a hurry to get married.I thought that when they were older and I had a hobby, I would choose my son-in-law according to my preference.

Now it seems that we have to take precautions early.

Sixteenth elder brother is a prince, but he can't stop others from making big moves, and his own status doesn't matter much.

Niuniu is fine, in the eyes of outsiders, she is just an orphan living in Cao's mansion, no one will care; Tianhui is the daughter of the Earl's mansion, and she has a generous dowry.

Chu Yu saw that her husband was uncomfortable, and said, "Didn't you say you were fishing with Uncle Sixteen, why did you come back so early?"

Cao Yong told Chu Yu about elder brother sixteen's troubles, mentioned his own worries, and said, "Although we are not in a hurry to make a decision, the candidates for Niu Niu and Tianhui's son-in-law should be considered."

If you want to make it right, you have to look at it for two more years before you can choose the one you like.

When Chu Yu heard that Li Si'er was starting to talk about the marriage of Luo's son and daughter again, she couldn't sit still, and said anxiously: "Since she has made up her mind to let her son be the Lord, then the marriage of the second young master of the uncle's house is not in sight. Didn't the daughter of the uncle's family say that the marriage is coming soon?"

When Cao Yong saw his wife's face changed, he remembered that his son had also been "concerned" by Li Si'er. He shook his head and said, "No way, there are people who take the initiative to find a daughter-in-law everywhere, and I haven't seen any family who goes around to find a son-in-law."

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Chu Yu said, "Master, if Mrs. Guo is a well-behaved lady, you wouldn't have to worry about it so much. Uncle Guo is also a protector, no matter how Mrs. Guo behaves, she will stand up for her. "

This really corresponds to the sentence that if the sky wants to make it die, it must first make it crazy.

With Longkodo's identity, he was born in the mansion of his relatives, and he is a child of everyone. He has always acted in a proper manner, otherwise he would not have been valued by two generations of emperors.

Even if he was tabooed by Yongzheng, as long as he acts respectfully, he will never be convicted of "unnecessary".

With Li Si'er as a beloved wife, she is like a debt collector, urging him to fail.

Cao Yong thought for a while, and said: "You don't have to worry about the country's uncle's house. No matter how Li Si'er tosses, it still depends on the will of the palace. It's not our family's turn. I usually come and go with people. Brothers and sisters Tianyou and Tianhui want to be children? If there is a suitable one, then pay more attention first. It is better to inquire about the character and act carefully than to act in a hurry. For Niu Niu, it is fine to be a child of a powerful family, let’s take a look at Wen Jie first , Brother Wenzhi. If the two of them are inappropriate, just take a look at Tianyou's classmates."

Seeing that Tianyou, Tianhui and Niuniu were mentioned in his words, Chu Yu was left alone with Hang Seng, and she was puzzled, "Could it be that the Lord took what Uncle Sixteen said seriously and wanted to give Hang Seng to Uncle Sixteen as his son-in-law? Seniority. Besides, since Da Gege is raised by the empress's side, the marriage is not in the hands of Uncle Sixteen."

Speaking of Hang Seng, Cao Yong let out a long breath and said: "We have to wait and see about Hang Seng's marriage, we may not be able to make the decision."

Speaking of this, the relationship between Hang Seng's background, the husband and wife are a bit heavy...

The next day, the Cao Mansion sent a carriage to pick up Han Jiang's mother and daughter, Aunt Gui, and the brothers and sisters of the Wei family.

According to Cao Song's meaning, I wanted to invite a troupe to spend a day in the house.But because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Cao Mansion sent someone late to inquire, and the theater troupe in the city had already been booked out, and only two female Pingtan teachers were invited.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao Jia have lived in the south for many years, and the female guests they invited, Mrs. Han Jiang and Aunt Gui, are all from the south.

Even Chu Yu and Su Xin, who lived in the capital when they were young, still find this soft Wu Yin pleasant to the ear.

Because there were outsiders, the Cao Yong brothers couldn't sit in the orchid courtyard for a long time. After the reunion dinner, they took the boys to the front courtyard to have tea and enjoy the moon.

Mrs. Li was worried that inviting too many foreign guests would make Mrs. Zhao Jia unhappy.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao Jia changed her sexuality. Knowing that Aunt Gui was from Jiangning, she even asked a few homework questions.

Speaking of the scenery of Jiangning City, she added a lot of brilliance to her face, and said to Mrs. Li: "Sister-in-law, I don't know if I can go back to Jiangning to take a look in this life. I miss the old house over there. The one in the backyard of my house The two osmanthus trees grew well back then. From this time of year, osmanthus cakes and osmanthus honey can be eaten until the beginning of winter."

Mrs. Li saw that her temper had become calm and she was no longer obsessed. She was happy in her heart, and followed her words: "Yes, when my aunt was young, she loved sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes. My younger siblings found out and sent a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus. My aunt and grandma ate this, and then they ate something from outside, it doesn’t taste right.”

Zhao Jiashi didn't know what to think of, with a smile on his lips, he was stunned.

Mrs. Li thought she was thinking about Jiangning's past, so she didn't bother her, and asked Aunt Gui about Wenjie's end in a low voice.Wenjie took the general examination and had to take three exams. The ninth, [-]th, and [-]th grades were off, and the [-]th grade was the only way to finish the exam.

Li's heart was originally soft-hearted, but after getting older, she became kind-hearted, and she felt a little more sympathy for these orphans of the Wei family.In addition, I have saved my heart for Niu Niu's son-in-law, so I pay special attention to it.

After Aunt Gui had finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong with Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jiashi still had a meditative expression with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were moist.Seeing this, Mrs. Li was taken aback, hurriedly beckoned, and called Jinghui to come closer, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with your old lady?"

Jinghui approached, only to find that Zhao Jia's expression was not surprised, and said in a low voice: "Since our old lady's funeral this year, our old lady loves nostalgia, and her forgetfulness is getting bigger and bigger. Our father is worried, please The imperial doctor came to see her and said it was a heart disease, and told us to coax it more and recuperate slowly."

"You child, why are you hiding such a big matter?" After hearing this, Li Shi couldn't help being annoyed: "Is this all right? How serious do you have to be for you to take care of it?"

Most of the people who walk around are old people. Zhao Jia's current symptoms are like "senile diseases" in old age.But Mrs. Zhaojia is the same age as Mrs. Li, not yet sixty, so it's like this now, so why don't people worry about it.

Jinghui blushed when she was reprimanded, but she didn't defend herself.After all, it was Cao Song who made this decision without telling Li Shi.Husband and wife are one, and it's not easy for her to blame her husband for her faults in order to clean herself up.

Although the voices of the two were low, their expressions were fixed.

Seeing this, Su Xin hurriedly tugged on Chu Yu's sleeve.

Chu Yu saw that her mother-in-law's expression was not right, she stood up and said in a low voice: "Old lady, but I think it's too noisy, do you want to send the female gentlemen down?"

When Mrs. Li heard the words, she looked around, the girls were really interesting, even Mrs. Gao was engrossed in what she heard, and said: "I'm a bit tired of dinner, I'm afraid it's not easy to restrain, so I ask someone to change the pot of tea."

Chu Yu responded, and went down to tell others not to mention it.

Mrs. Li sighed, and said to Jing Hui in a low voice: "Go sit down first, stay later, and talk to me carefully."

Seeing that the anger on her face had subsided, Jinghui said in a low voice: "It's my nephew and daughter-in-law who are not good, I should have come to find my aunt to make a decision..."

Mrs. Li knew that she was always submissive, and she was not rude in front of her mother-in-law, but she regretted giving her a face just now, and said: "I was in a hurry, your old lady is sick, and you, the eldest daughter-in-law, are most anxious..."

The women in the backyard enjoyed listening to books, and the old and young men in the front yard also found a way to have fun, that is, watching children wrestle as a show.

Because several large lanterns were lit in the front yard, the lanterns were brightly illuminated.On the ground, put a few pieces of cotton curtains.

The children were divided into two groups, Tianyou, Wei Wenzhi, Tianhu, and Tianyang, and Changsheng, Hangsheng, Zuocheng, and Zuozhu.

Cao Song, the first-class guard in front of the imperial court, acted as a referee in front of his brothers and nephews.

On Cao Yong's side, people prepared silver ingots for the lottery, four ingots and five taels, and four ingots and one tael.For the winning team, five taels per person; for the losing team, one tael of ingots as consolation.

Cao Fu's lottery was much more elegant, and he made people go back to Dongfu to pick up several boxes of new books.

Cao Song encouraged his nephew to practice martial arts, so he took out the dagger he had used in the past and awarded it to the person who won in the end.

In this competition, both sides choose players to play, and two wins in three rounds
Finally, among the few winners, the individual winner will be decided.

There is a school field in Cao's mansion, and the children often play games.

Only Wei Wenzhi participated in this kind of game for the first time, seeing everyone's interest, it was a novelty.He also thought that for a family like the Cao Mansion, the young masters held it in their hands, so how could they be beaten like this.

A group of children headed by Tianyou, and a group centered on Hang Seng, were divided into two places, muttering about "tactics"...
