Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1097 Preliminary Discussion
"Oh!"

Yongzheng patted the excerpt on the imperial case, his expression became ferocious due to anger.

The thirteenth elder brother bowed his body and stood aside.He knew why the emperor was angry. When he first heard about it, although he was not angry, he felt incredible.

The fourteenth elder brother returned to Beijing back then, only as a beizi, but he used the guard of honor of the county king, and some officials who greeted him along the way knelt to greet him, that was because he was the prince of the current dynasty and the son of the master.

Even though Li Weijun was Nian Gengyao's disciple, he didn't care about anything in private and knelt in public to greet him in the court's second-rank men's uniform, Nian Gengyao was still too trusting.

It is certainly a great honor for a minister to be awarded the purple rein and yellow belt, but it is a bit too much to look down upon the ministers.Not to mention, what he was facing was Li Weijun, a Fuchen who had been guarding Gyeonggi.

However, he also knew why Nian Gengyao attacked Li Weijun so mercilessly. It was because Li Weijun got too close to him after succeeding as governor of Zhili.

There have been gossips coming out a long time ago, saying that Li Weijun changed his family, from Nian Gengyao's family, to his side.

In addition, Concubine Nian had a son, and many ministers who were attached to Nian Gengyao wanted to seek a reserve position in the past two years.Li Weijun was a subordinate of Nian Gengyao in his early years, and he was recommended by Nian Gengyao to be governor of Zhili.Those people were naturally eager to drag Li Weijun into the water.

Li Weijun has been an official for more than [-] years, although he is not in the court, he should know the tragedy of the Kangxi dynasty's seizure of the heir.

He knew his own weight, so he would not participate in this matter, and he used the excuse that he was busy with official duties and had less contact with those people, so he left himself clean.

Nian Gengyao may not be thinking of doing something that will help his nephew win the heir, but he will not be satisfied if his disciples seek good fortune and avoid harm.

Adding the two together, it is not unusual for Nian Gengyao to be dissatisfied with Li Weijun.

"Purple reins, yellow belts, you need to kneel down to meet them? Does that mean you want to clean up the governor of Zhili appointed by me, and you don't need to shoot a knife, just go down and enter the eight cents, and you can solve it?" Yongzheng's voice, with It was a bit cold.

These two things are great honors for the ministers, but they are also considered commonplace for the men of the clan.Those who have entered the title of Bafen Fuguo Duke and above have purple belts; the children of the clan can wear yellow belts.

Brother Thirteen heard this, his heart trembled, and then he realized that what annoyed the emperor the most was not Nian Gengyao's arrogance, but Li Weijun's too weak knees.What he fears the most is not Nian Gengyao, who is so powerful in the northwest, but the clan in the capital.

No matter how majestic Nian Gengyao is, honor and disgrace only lie in the emperor's joy and anger.

If the clan has a heart of disobedience, the Eight Banners will be in turmoil and the foundation of the country will be shaken.

Brother Thirteen thought so in his heart, but he followed Yongzheng's words and said: "Li Weijun was originally Nian Gengyao's subordinate. Perhaps it was because of his prestige in the past when he faced up to the peak that he lost his sense of proportion."

Although Li Weijun is a bit of a follower, he can be regarded as a capable minister with meticulous care in running errands.Right now, Zhili has just implemented the "spreading into the mu", which is an urgent time.The thirteenth elder brother was afraid that Yongzheng would be angry, so Li Weijun's governor said this.

He didn't mean to avoid suspicion, because Li Weijun took the initiative to get close to him, and it was the emperor's arrangement.

"What about Li Weijun, what about Fan Shijie?" Yongzheng snorted coldly, and said, "Why didn't I know that when I was on a local job, I had to kneel when I saw Shangfeng?"

When it comes to another Fuchen, Elder Brother Thirteen is not good to intercede, otherwise there is really a suspicion of collaborating with foreign ministers.

Looking at Yongzheng's sneering face, the thirteenth elder brother knew that the governor of Shaanxi might be vacant...

Compared with the depression in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the atmosphere in the living room of the Cao Mansion is much more relaxed.

Seeing that Wei Wenjie's face was as usual, and he was not depressed because of his failure, Cao Yong nodded with satisfaction.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Cao Yong also knew how much Wei Wenjie had prepared for this test from Wen Zhi and Wen Qiang brothers and sisters.After moving to his new home in the capital, except for visiting the Cao Mansion to pay his respects, Wen Jie endorsed the book without leaving home.

A 17-year-old boy can endure loneliness without being supervised by anyone, and his mind is also considered resolute.

But sometimes, there may not be a return when you come back.The imperial examination was originally for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge. If it was so easy, no one would stop at juren for a lifetime.

However, Cao Yong was still very surprised when he heard that Wei Wenjie was going to find an errand with his clan uncle. He frowned and said, "You just took one subject, so you're not going to take it again?"

Wei Wenjie said: "My nephew was congenitally blunt, and his culture was not obvious, but he also planned to take another exam. It's just that my nephew ended up this time. Whether it's stereotyped or strategic, it's mostly meaningless. It's weird to not fail in such an article. Now, I just have this opportunity to go to experience some experience. I won’t delay my studies, and if I fail in three years, I can still make a living, so it’s not easy to sit back and eat.”

The Wei family has already set up a Zhuangzi and a shop. Even if he doesn't go out to work, he will still receive six to seven hundred taels of silver every year, which is enough for their family to eat.

But for such a young man, it's not a problem to stay at home all the time, so it's good to go out and see him.

"When will you go?" Cao Yong thought of this, Wen Yan asked.

"If Shishu agrees, my nephew will go there after the Wenzhihui examination. There is a clerk from the clan uncle who will return to his hometown at the end of the year and will not go to Beijing next year. This will open up a place. The clan uncle means that the nephew Two months before the first year, learn from Haosheng, and see if you can master it alone in the next year." Wei Wenjie said.

This is really supporting, otherwise Wei Wenjie, a young Juren, would not be better than an experienced old Juren as a curtain.

Although the county yamen is a seventh-rank yamen, it is a parent official who needs to work hard.It is also a good thing for Wen Jie to experience in such a place.

Cao Yong had planned for a long time. When Wenjie was older and his mind was settled, if he wanted to become an official first, he would support him.

"Mancheng is under the rule of Baoding Mansion. It's not far from the capital, but it's still cheap. Have you mentioned this matter with your aunt? What does your aunt mean?" Cao Yong asked.

Aunt Gui is not the biological mother of the Wei Wenjie brothers and sisters, but an adoptive mother.The children also know how to be grateful and regard Aunt Gui as their mother.Aunt Gui is also loyal, she only thinks about the children in everything, abides by her duties, and does not entrust her children just because she has raised them, she is a person worthy of respect.

Even when Li Shi and Chu Yu mentioned Aunt Gui, they also praised her "loyalty".

Wei Xin, as an old man, has always been easy-going. Earlier, he didn't even marry his first wife, and gave all his children to Aunt Gui.

It is not easy for Aunt Gui to take good care of the children.

"My aunt is afraid that my nephew will take too much effort in studying, so she agrees with my nephew to take a break from his homework; but she is worried about going out to Beijing for errands, and she is afraid that my nephew will suffer outside. The aunt said that it is right to decide whether to be on an errand or to study. It is a major matter related to my nephew's future, she is a woman with limited knowledge, so I should come here to ask Uncle Shi for advice." Wen Jie said.

Hearing this, Cao Yong understood that Aunt Gui did not approve of Wen Jie's Beijing, but since a member of the Wei family spoke, it was not easy for her as an aunt to stop her.

It is good intentions to love Wenjie and let him endure hardships, but Wenjie is no longer a child.Sixteen percent of the banner people, the Han Chinese are considered adults when they reach the seventeenth or eighth, and it is time to marry wives and have children.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong's heart moved, thinking of his wife talking about it several times, he couldn't help but look at Wenjie again.

Wei Xin is so beautiful, Wen Jiesheng's mother must be good, making Wen Jiesheng look dignified.But Wei Xin's temperament is the most flirtatious. If Wen Jie inherits, then betrotting Niu Niu to him would be deceitful.

In addition, the identity of Wen Jie's biological mother is unknown.When Wei Xin sent his children back to his hometown, even though he dismissed his maids and concubines, Wen Jie was already sensible at that time.

He mentioned in the early years that he wanted to go to Guangzhou to find his father, did he also want to take the opportunity to find his biological mother?

Cao Yong's sizing up, the taste of scrutiny is too strong.

Wen Jie felt a little uneasy, and whispered: "Uncle Shi, did your nephew cause trouble for Uncle Shi?"

Their family went north to buy houses and land, all of which were taken care of by Cao Yong's envoys.

Now he is a little ashamed to bother this powerful uncle with his trivial matters.

Cao Yong didn't answer his words, and asked: "This subject is over. It's good to go to the county government to see it and learn something. It's just that you will be eighteen in the next year. When you reach the age of marriage, what do you plan to do?" ?”

Although she is not a woman, Wen Jie also blushed when the elders asked about life-long events. He lowered his head and said, "My nephew has accomplished nothing and has no face to get married. I want to wait a few years before deciding on the marriage between my younger brother and younger sister."

"You don't want to marry a wife. Do you want your aunt to take care of Wen Zhi and Wen Qiang's marriage? Besides, there is no elder brother who hasn't married before. As younger brothers and sisters, you should talk about other people's truth first." Cao Yong said.

No matter how filial their brothers are to Aunt Gui, Aunt Gui is a concubine after all, and has no right to interfere in their siblings' marriage.Aunt Gui also has self-knowledge. She is a housewife, how many people can she know, and whose children are suitable for her?So they privately entrusted Chu Yu with their brother and sister marriage.Before Wei Ren left Beijing, he entrusted Cao Yong with this matter.

Wen Jie didn't know that the elders had mentioned their marriage in Cao's house, so he only wanted to find two well-matched families to marry his younger siblings in two years.As for himself, because of the humiliation of retiring, the one who resigned was also his aunt, who is now his elder sister's husband's family, so he has nothing to do with it, so he has a knot in his heart and doesn't plan to marry early.

Hearing what Cao Yong said, he realized that he was thinking left.I can't do whatever I want, even for my younger brother and sister, it's time to talk about kissing.

Seeing his blank expression, Cao Yong felt amused, and said: "Before your uncle left Beijing, you entrusted me with the decision of your marriage. What kind of wife and family do you want to marry? You have to be educated and reasonable, and you still need to be good-looking Yes, have you thought about it? You have no parents to protect you, but you have younger siblings who need to take care of you. If the Yue family can borrow their strength, you will be able to take care of you whether you are an official, farming or studying in the future."

Wenjie is an orphan, even if he has a reputation for raising others, the right family is just a rich family and a country gentry.But he is Cao Yong's nephew. With the power of Cao's family, it is not difficult for Cao Yong to come forward and say that he is a lady of an official family.

Wen Jie heard this, but his expression changed, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Uncle Shi, Qi Dafei, my nephew knows how much I weigh and how much I am, so I don't dare to cling to her... Although my aunt is a concubine, she treats us brothers and sisters There is indeed a nurturing grace...Wen Zhi and Wen Qiang will get married again in two years... If Uncle Shi decides to marry his nephew, it is better to be the daughter of an ordinary family. Don't ask for others, just ask for a good temper, Filial piety and courtesy..."

Seeing that he was so moved, Cao Yong thought of Wei Ren's wife, who was a lady from an official family, and now her natal brothers are also in short supply.This is also the reason why the Wei family can't touch her even if she is unkind to her nephews and nieces.

From this point of view, Wen Jie was right to be worried. If he married a lady from an official family, how could he be filial to the old aunt left by his dead father-in-law?Not to mention, the eldest sister-in-law is required to be the mother to take care of the younger uncle and sister-in-law who are not much different in age...

Xiaojiu can only continue to be cheeky and continue to ask for a monthly ticket.Xiao Jiu cupped his hands in thanks.
