Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 110

The next day, Cao Yong's head was a little heavy, and when he woke up, it was already [-]:[-] in the morning.Since I came back from Changping in the third year of junior high school, I spent half a month with my father. After I relaxed, I only felt sore bones all over my body.He was vigilant in his heart, it would be impossible to go on like this, and he could not just slack off after training his body well.

After washing up and having breakfast, Cao Yong played around in the yard.Zijing was busy early on. Ningchun's wedding ceremony, the [-]th day ceremony of the fourth elder brother of Prince Ping's mansion, the annual ceremony of various families in Beijing and China, etc., all need to be painstakingly prepared.Seeing her working so hard, Cao Yong was a little ashamed, thinking in his heart, he would go and give Amethyst a helping hand later.

After Cao Yong stretched his arms and legs, he was thinking whether to draw a few bows or not, when he heard the sound of beating and scolding coming from the courtyard to the south.He frowned, what's going on, didn't Cao Song go to Zongxue class at this point?Is it Nanny Zhang?Although she is a little dependent on the old and prostitution, and she is a little tyrannical towards the little maid, but it would be too much to beat and scold wantonly.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong called Cui'er who was cleaning the house in the main room: "Tui'er, go over and have a look, and ask clearly, what's going on!"

Cui'er came out in response, before leaving the yard, Huan'er and Wu En ran in back and forth, calling "Sister Zijing".Seeing Cao Yong standing in the yard, the two stopped: "Master!"

Following Cao Yong's entry into Beijing in March, Wu En was able to speak a few words of Chinese in a stuttering manner, and his little face was full of flesh, which made him look a little cute like a ten-year-old child.In the courtyard here, Huan'er is not a few years older than her, and she is also lively. The relationship between the two is the best.

"Master, where is Sister Zijing? Nanny Zhang is going to kill Yulong, let my sister take care of it!" Huan'er said in a snappy voice.

"Kill Yulong?" Cao Yong said to Wu En: "Go to the accountant in the front yard to find your Zijing sister!" Then he said to Huan'er and Cui'er: "Follow me to go and see, why are you beating and scolding?"

Cao Yong had a vague impression of Yulong, who was one of the eight maids Li bought when he was in Beijing.After Cao Song came, she and another maid were assigned to Huaiyuan.

Huan'er couldn't explain the reason there, but only knew that Yulong was kneeling in the yard, and Nanny Zhang was beating and scolding with a wooden stick.

While speaking, Cao Song had strode out of the sunflower courtyard.The Huai courtyard where Cao Song lives is in the south of the Kui courtyard.

Before entering the yard, I heard Zhang Nanny cursing: "You little bastard, I have long seen that you are not safe. You bitch, you still have the face to cry, who will show you this vicious look!"

Cao Yong didn't know what to say when he heard these words, he didn't know where this jade dragon offended Mammy Zhang, but he couldn't just let her beat and scold him.

Because Zhang Nanny turned her back to the gate of the courtyard, she didn't see Cao Yong coming in, she still swung the wooden stick and beat Yulong.

Yulong knelt on the ground, just crying blindly.Another maidservant in a blue gown knelt on one side, begging Madam Zhang endlessly.

"Enough! Stop it!" Seeing the jade dragon's trembling look, his face was red and swollen, and there were several blood marks on his neck, Cao Yong felt angry.

Only then did Zhang Momo realize that it was Cao Yong who had come. Relying on being Zhaojia’s nanny, Cao Yong had always been polite to her and was not afraid: "It is the uncle who has come. The yard is in a mess. The old slave is teaching me a lesson This shameless little slut, don't let the uncle see the joke!"

"What mistake did this girl make to make Mammy so violent? Even my yard over there heard the commotion."

Cao Yong asked lightly.

Nanny Zhang sneered: "It's the old slave who disturbed the uncle. It's not a big deal, but this little hoof has always been cunning, lazy and greedy. In the morning, another bottle was broken, and the old slave will let her I have a long memory, I have already asked someone to call for Ren Yazi, and I will lead him out later!"

That Yulong was only fourteen or five years old, her figure was a little thin, her face was full of horror, and when she heard Zhang Nanny's words about betraying herself, her face turned pale, she was so frightened to death.

When Cao Yong heard this, he was really angry, but he broke a bottle, and he was still unwilling to beat him like this, so he wanted someone to sell him.This old woman is really dark-hearted, if it wasn't for Cao Song's face, he would still want to kick her out.Suppressing his anger, he said to Nanny Zhang: "Now if you beat her and scold her, I will let her go! If she is really disobedient, send her to the kitchen. Let Zijing arrange replacements here."

But Nanny Zhang didn't wink, and she didn't know how to borrow the donkey downhill. She pouted with a little dissatisfaction, and muttered: "Master, this is a matter in the second sect, and it's not for men to care about! You should go back, read and write carefully." Homework is important!"

Cao Yong laughed angrily, this is his home, is there anything he can't manage?
That Mammy Zhang wanted to speak again, when someone said: "Mama Mama is so confused! There is still a sign saying that this is Cao's Mansion, so how come the old man can't take care of it?" But it was Zijing who arrived.

When Zhang Nanny first came to Beijing, she still wanted to take over the power of the housekeeper in the mansion, and she gave up after eating a few of Amethyst's neither soft nor hard leaders.Because Zijing was in charge of the accounts, she didn't dare to offend her, and said with a smile: "Miss Zijing was joking, this old slave didn't mean that. I just know that my uncle has a lot of schoolwork, so there is no reason for these trivial things to bother him!"

Seeing Cao Yong's expression, Amethyst knew that he was already annoyed.This master is kind-hearted, and although he is not close to his servants, he has never abused or scolded him.However, it is really inappropriate for Cao Yong to intervene in this matter at the moment. If Mammy Zhang is allowed to gossip in front of Zhao Jia in the future, it will easily cause tongues.Thinking of this, she pulled down Cao Yong's sleeves, and said with a smile: "I just saw Mr. Zhuang, and I am looking for the uncle to talk!" While speaking, he nodded secretly at Cao Yong.

Cao Yong sees what she means, to reassure herself that she will handle it.He knew that Zijing had always treated people generously, and he would never let that servant girl be beaten and scolded again, and he didn't want to fight with the old woman here, so he snorted coldly and went out.

Behind him, I heard Zijing say: "Tui'er, Huan'er, help her back to her room first. It's very cold in the yard, so let's go to the house, mother. Please tell me carefully. What the hell is going on!"

*
Banyan Courtyard, the upper room.

When Cao Yong entered, Zhuang Xi was wearing a big cloak, humming a little song, leaning on the kang, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it casually.Xiqiu knelt at the end of the kang, helping Zhuang Xi beat his legs; Lianqiu was sitting next to the kang table, frying tea in a small charcoal stove.

It's really pleasant, Cao Yong couldn't help enviously saying: "Sir, what a nourishing day!"

"Is Yong'er here?" Zhuang Xi put down the book in his hand and sat up.

Both Lianqiu and Xiqiu got up to greet Cao Yong.Cao Yong waved his hand and asked the two to get up, and sat casually in front of the kang table, looking at a fist-sized copper pot on the charcoal stove: "Snow water is used for making tea so solemnly?"

Lianqiu nodded lightly: "It's the snow water I saved a few days ago, and my husband specially asked me to drink it, sir, would you like to drink it?"

Although the pollution was not serious at this time, the snow was covered with dust, and Cao Yong suddenly lost his interest in drinking tea.

Because Zhuang Xi was getting old, he was a little afraid of the cold. Since he entered Sanjiu, he seldom left the house, even the courtyard.Seeing Cao Yong right now, he asked with a smile: "Counting the days, Shengjia should return to Beijing in a few days, and Yong'er's leisurely life is only a few days away, why come to my side when you have time?"

After hearing this, Cao Yong knew that Zijing had just found Yuzizhi to come out by himself, and laughed a few times: "Seeing that the new year is coming, Mr. likes to be lively again. Or, let's invite a troupe to sing for two days during the Chinese New Year, so that everyone can sing." Have fun too!"

Zhuang Xi has been obsessed with Kunqu Opera recently. Hearing this, he suddenly became interested, and then he said two familiar troupe names. Seeing that Cao Yong was ignorant, he said, "Look at me, you don't understand these troupes. , What are you talking about with you! Leave it to me to hire a team, I will pick and choose, and find a better one to sing here for two days."

Seeing that Zhuang Xi was happy, Cao Yong felt better.The closer to the New Year's Eve, I feel that Zhuang Xi's side is deserted.At his age, he is already full of children and grandchildren in someone else's house.But Zhuang Xi is a widower with only two daughters who have been married for many years.Thinking of this, Cao Yong smiled and said to Xiqiu and Lianqiu: "I have brought the chessboard, and I will play a game with you sir."

After playing two games of chess and killing more than half an hour, Cao Yong bid farewell to Zhuang Xi and went back to Sunflower Courtyard.

Amethyst has already come back, sitting in the warm pavilion in a daze, until Cao Yong opened his mouth to call her, and then he was relieved.

"What? That jade dragon really committed a serious crime, so I can't keep it?" Seeing Zijing frowning slightly, Cao Yong asked with a little embarrassment.

Zijing smiled wryly and shook her head, and said: "Master, just now I have persuaded Nanny Zhang not to beat the jade dragon, and I went to see the jade dragon too, it was only a skin trauma, and there is no serious problem. But, in the future The monthly money of Yulong is longer."

"Yeah!" Cao Yong nodded casually: "Changyue's money or something, you decide. It's just Zhang Nanny's problem of beating people, and I have to warn you, so as not to beat this one tomorrow, and the other one later. "

Zijing saw that Cao Yong didn't understand what she said, so she blushed slightly and said, "Master, Yulong has become the second master's housemate!"

"People in the house?" Cao Yong couldn't help opening his eyes wide.He's not a child, so of course he knows what the term "people in the house" means, but yesterday Cao Song was making a fuss about that singing girl named "Xiang Qin" outside, how could there be an extra person in the house after only one night?

Zijing nodded: "I have asked Yuqin about it, it's really not her fault. It's just that the second master was drunk when he came back to the yard yesterday, and Mammy Zhang wanted to go up and talk. The second master was impatient and let Yuchan and Yuying The two dragged her down to have a drink. There was no one in the room, the second master called for water to wash her feet, and when Yulong brought water in..."

Cao Yong heard startled.

Zijing didn't notice it at all, and said to herself: "Although the second master is so old in our family, it's nothing to have people in the house, but after all, we haven't married yet, and the second wife is taboo about these things. If we have children first On the contrary, it’s not good. The slave has already asked someone to invite the doctor, and I still need to prescribe some medicine for Yulong.” At this point, he found that his face was flushed, and he jumped, and wanted to go forward to check: “What’s wrong, sir? But Did you catch the wind without wearing a big coat just now?"

Cao Yong hurriedly got up, went to the bedroom quickly, and said without looking back: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I want to sleep, and no one will disturb me!"

How can Zijing rest assured: "Master, the doctor will be here soon, let him have a look too! It's not fun to be frozen in this weather!"

Cao Yong lay down on the bed and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to sleep, so don't disturb me before dinner!"

Zijing stopped at the door of the bedroom, wondering, what happened to the uncle?Is it because I got angry with Mr. Zhuang, or because I was too tired a few days ago and didn't recover.Although he was a little worried, but he knew that he always liked to be clean, since he had been ordered twice in a row not to make noise, it was to be left alone.

Cao Yong lay on the bed, lowered his eyes, and looked down at his waist. What's the matter? As an elder brother, he didn't even molested the maid, and that kid Cao Song even had "people in the house".This little boy is thick-skinned enough, how he can do it is really admirable.

Cao Yong pulled the pillow, and Amethyst, Zhu'er, Cui'er, and even Yongjia and Majia Bean Sprouts came out and circled twice in his mind.But then, another image appeared in his mind, Li Shi fell ill on the bed, smiling and watching several concubines of Cao Yin greet him in front of the bed, but couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.Thinking of these, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water on his head, making Cao Yong's desire come to naught.

Cao Yong couldn't help raising his arm, and beat his head vigorously, what's wrong with him, and he's not a reckless young man, why did he suddenly get sperm on his head.When you marry a daughter-in-law, you will naturally have a woman. Why are you so impatient.

Thinking of Cao Song, Cao Yong was still a little annoyed, this child should be beaten and beaten, don't go on doing such wanton nonsense, you don't have to ruin the little girl's innocence.At the same time, I couldn't help telling myself that my body is no better than before, and I should drink less in the future, so as not to let my vigilance relax and let myself do wrong things someday.

A moment of happiness may be a lifetime of trouble, so what's the matter...
