Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1131
"What?" Brother Thirteen was taken aback.

It was not because Yongzheng ordered Fu Nai to monitor Longkodo, but because of this antecedent, Fu Nai still agreed to Longkodo's marriage proposal and betrothed his daughter to Yuzhu.

When he heard about this marriage earlier, Elder Thirteen also felt that it was not a match, but only when Fu Nai loved his daughter dearly did he agree to the marriage proposal at the Uncle Guo's House.After all, if it weren't for Longkodo's current difficulties, it would be impossible for the second son to marry the concubine's daughter as his wife, even if the second son was born in an improper way.

Not to mention, the second daughter of the Fu family, who was a concubine, lived in a foreign house in her early years, and was only taken back to Fu Cha's house a few years ago.

"You're too confused! Could it be that those rumors about loving a daughter outside are all false, and there are other reasons for the marriage between your two families? Otherwise, Gefeng would not be like this." Thirteenth elder brother said.

The meaning of marrying a powerful official whom the emperor fears is quite different from marrying a powerful official who is ordered to monitor, the latter is suspected of "collaborating with the enemy".

Fu Nai let out a long breath, and said: "It's true that you love your daughter, and it's true that you can't refuse my uncle. When the emperor ascended the throne, the uncle of the country held a lot of power, so it's prudent for the emperor to be more vigilant. But the servants have seen it in recent years. Except for the fact that Mrs. Guo is greedy for money, there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Guo, but I don’t know why the emperor..."

The thirteenth elder brother saw that he was unrestrained, and hurriedly said: "Gefeng, be careful! How can the emperor's heart be understood by you and me as ministers?"

After hearing this, Fu Nai murmured: "I remember clearly. That year when I first entered the bodyguard office, I was assigned to work beside my master. Because I was young, I didn't think carefully, and almost caused a catastrophe. Tong Niangniang learned that This matter, not only did not deal with the slave, but also preserved it. Although it cannot be said to be a life-saving grace, the slave is also deeply grateful. The slave thought at the time that he would do a good job in the future and repay the grace of the empress. Unexpectedly, the empress died soon. No... Uncle Guo is Tong Niangniang's brother after all, and now he is in a really pitiful situation..."

Although the Tong family had two concubines in the Kangxi Dynasty, after hearing Fu Nai's words, the thirteenth elder brother knew that he was referring to Empress Xiaoyiren.

He looked at Fu Nai, and couldn't help stroking his forehead, not knowing whether to scold him or praise him.

Empress Xiao Yiren passed away in Kangxi 28 years ago, and it has been more than 30 years since then.

Although I don't know what kind of disaster Fu Nai caused back then, since Empress Xiao Yiren could save it with a word, it must not be a big mistake, otherwise he would not have been allowed to continue working by the prince's side.

Fu Nai can still remember the kindness of more than 30 years ago, and he has a heart of compassion for Aiwu and Utilong Kodo, which can be said to be affectionate and righteous; but it is extremely stupid to give a helping hand in the form of marriage.

In this way, offending the emperor, not only can't take care of the uncle's mansion, but also dragged into the water, losing his sacred heart.

Brother Thirteen really wanted to scold him a few words, it can be seen that his face is haggard, and he has reached the age of knowing his destiny, he swallowed the words when he reached his mouth, and said after a long while: "I remember the matter of Shengjing's servant..."

With Brother Thirteen's promise, things went smoothly.

When Yongzheng saw the name of Fu Nai, the servant of Shengjing household department, he was just slightly startled and didn't say much.

Everyone knows that Fu Nai is a close minister of the emperor, but because he has been serving in the army, his reputation is not obvious.It was not until he became the Minister of the Ministry of War that he became the attention of others.

Unexpectedly, at the time of Nian Gengyao's outbreak, Fu Nai, the oldest minister of the hidden residence, was released from Beijing.

Not only were they surprised, even Cao Yong in Zhili was surprised when he heard the news.

"If it was true that he was angered because of his marriage with Longkodo, then the current treatment is considered light." Cao Yong didn't know that it was Fu Nai's own scheme. Like outsiders, he only thought that he was demoted. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not It's a bad thing.

Because he was going to go to Beijing to take up his post, the wedding date of the second daughter of the Fu family and Yu Zhu was brought forward to the end of the month.

When Li Shi and Chu Yu got the news, they had to prepare congratulatory gifts and send them back to Beijing with Yi Cheng.

In a blink of an eye, it's the end of April.

The weather is starting to get hotter, but the Governor's Mansion has its own ice cellar, and it doesn't need a fixed day to open the ice like in the capital.Therefore, the governor's mansion has begun to supply ice.

Cao Yong was not blessed to enjoy it, because he, together with Tang Zhiyu, began to inspect the prefectures and counties.

In the past few days, the two have rushed to Jinghai County.There is a big county, where the Tianjin Guard is located.The seafood mentioned in Cao Yong Zhili's development plan is produced in Tianjin Wei.

It was for this reason that Tang Zhiyu decided to visit Jinghai.

Cao Yong came with him because he wanted to see the military training in the guard.

From Qingyuan to Jinghai for [-] miles, passing through more than ten states and counties in the middle, if you put on the guard of honor of the governor and the chief envoy, you will inevitably disturb the local area.

Therefore, both of them unanimously chose not to put on a guard of honor.

Except for a few bureaucrats who accompanied them, the rest were followed by five hundred supervisors.

This is Cao Yong's meaning, and the right is to train soldiers.He has already planned to try to pull out the three standard inspectors of the Governor's Mansion before the end of the year.

Liang Chuanfu realized Cao Yong's intention and led the troops out in person.

After two months of training, the supervisors and soldiers seemed to be much more energetic. Even if they marched fifty miles a day under the scorching sun, they all held their heads high and there was no commotion or complaint.

When it was nearly a hundred miles away from Jinghai, Cao Yong and Tang Zhiyu took a dozen riders and took a step ahead.

This is Tang Zhiyu's suggestion. It saves hundreds of supervisors from disturbing the local area after the bidder arrives. However, due to their limited status, their actions are not cheap.

This is "Weifu Private Visit". Cao Yong has traveled twice in Qingyuan City, but he didn't gain much.It's not normal for bullies to run rampant and dandies to molest women from good families.

This first, everyone will arrive at Jinghai one day earlier.

Instead of lodging in a post station, I found a big inn in the city to settle down.

After a short rest, Cao Yong and Tang Zhiyu went to the place where seafood was sold.
Most of them are working here, kelp, sea rice, sea cucumber, and some fresh shellfish, shrimp and crab can also be seen on some stalls.

Seeing that Cao Yong was moved, he took Tang Zhiyu to find a big restaurant and ordered a table of seafood.

The other ones are okay, I have eaten them all in Beijing, only shrimp crawlers, I ate them in Yizhou more than ten years ago, and now I saw them, and it aroused Cao Yong's greed.

Cao Yong, Tang Zhiyu, and Liang Chuanfu, plus a dozen or so guards accompanying him, totaled about 20 people.

Except for Tang Zhiyu and Liang Chuanfu who were left at the same table by Cao Yong in the box, the others sat in the lobby.

The prawns in this season are not only plump, but also full of seeds and paste. Cao Yong thought about the delicious food and was in a good mood, so he ordered Zhang Yi to arrange for the people outside to eat whatever they wanted, and eat well.

The three people in the private room, in addition to salt and pepper shrimp, also ordered razor clams, sea crabs and so on. There were more than ten dishes, most of which were seafood.

It's just that when the food is on the table, the appearance is mediocre, but the ingredients are still fresh and can barely be eaten.

After Cao Yong took two bites, he put down his chopsticks, not without regrets in his heart.If these things can go to Qingyuan and cook with their own cooks, then the food will be considered delicious.

It was a bit disappointing at first, and I didn't want to wait until after the meal, there was another noise outside.

Cao Yong was puzzled when he saw Zhang Yi push the door open, his face could not hide his anger, and he replied: "Master, this is a black shop!"

Cao Yong was taken aback for a while, this is the most prosperous area in Jinghai City, the most elegant two-story restaurant chosen, is this a "black shop"?
The noise outside gradually subsided, but there was movement at the door of the box, as if someone wanted to enter the box and was blocked by someone.

Cao Yong saw that this was out of order, and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhang Yidao: "Just now when the younger one went to pay the bill, the shopkeeper actually asked for 150 taels of silver?"

"What? 150 taels?" Cao Yong felt incredible after hearing this.

In the restaurant where the imperial chef of the capital is located, there are also rice noodles worth tens of taels of silver, but they are made of eight precious ingredients, which are carefully cooked without getting tired of eating.

These things in front of me are just a low-level table in Beijing, and there are a few taels of silver to talk about.Including the two tables outside, the top ten and 20 taels of silver.

"What dishes do you order?" Cao Yong asked one more question for fear of misunderstanding.

"The big guys are not used to seafood. Each table ordered a plate of crabs, a piece of sea fish, and the others were fat chicken and pork knuckles. Each table also ordered a few plates of flower rolls." Zhang Yi replied.

Tang Zhiyu was also very angry, but it was not easy for them to interrupt when their master and servant were talking.After seeing them finished speaking, Fang said: "It's really unreasonable to dare to blackmail people in blue sky and white daylight?"

Cao Yong's face also fell, and he said to Zhang Yi: "Go out and ask the people in the restaurant why they charge so much money, and then send two people to the county government to report the case and see what the county government has to say."

Zhang Yi went, and Cao Yong felt a little heavy.

In their line of work, except for the two masters around Tang Zhiyu who are getting old, the other 16 people are all young and strong.But this restaurant is not afraid at all, it is blackmailing, and its arrogance is too arrogant.

Tang Zhiyu also thought of this, his brows were already wrinkled, and he whispered to Cao Yong: "My lord, why don't you go outside and have a look?"

Cao Yong nodded, went out first, and saw a few guards guarding the door of the box, confronting a few men with big arms and round waists.

Behind these people, there was a young man in silk clothes, of a weak age, with a haughty face, his chin raised, and he looked at Cao Yong and his party.Behind him, there were a dozen strong men blocking the entrance of the restaurant, vaguely surrounding their group.

Seeing Tang Zhiyu's face like frost, Cao Yong and Liang Chuanfu went as if nothing had happened, the young man was taken aback for a moment, and then sarcasm appeared on his face, and said: "The sky is bright and the sun is bright, if you want to eat free food, is there any law?"

How could Cao Yong quarrel with him, he just looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Did you send someone to the yamen?"

Zhang Yi bowed and said, "It's okay, I also asked the way. The county government office is in the back street." At the end, he looked at the young man with a complicated expression, and said, "This is the one who ordered Xiaoer to take Xia Quan , Lu Gangan went to the county government..."

Cao Yong and Tang Zhiyu looked at each other, but they couldn't think of a reason why this young man was so unscrupulous.

As far as they know, Guo Yiyu, the magistrate of Jinghai County, is a donated official who took office last year.Could it be that this young man is a child of the Guo family?

Guo Yiyu is from Hubei, and he speaks a southern dialect, but the young man in front of him speaks the local dialect...
