Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1199 Willingness
Seeing that the cousin was silent, Cao Xiang said: "These days, I am worried that the fourth sister will follow in the footsteps of the fifth sister. Although the Tian family is rich and noble, it is not an easy place to live, and I don't know how much I will suffer. Now brother Guanglu Although there is no lordship, there is still a lot of right and wrong. Even if the relationship with the palace is more distant, it is just a little more comfortable, who dares to bully them?"

Seeing that Cao Xiang thought clearly, Cao Yong nodded and said: "That's the reason." Speaking of this, he remembered something and said: "I'm afraid that the second old lady will be disappointed. Since she asked for the thirteen Fujin, I'm afraid it's something in her heart." I also hope that I will marry my fourth younger sister."

Zhao Jia's thought, never concealed from others.

Cao Xiang didn't like to pay attention to his aunt, so he said: "Mother loves fourth sister very much, and she will always want to let go..."

It's already October now, even though Yizhi mentioned "Choose an auspicious marriage", but after six ceremonies, the wedding will have to wait until next year anyway, so the time is easy.

This is also the difference between a concubine and a concubine or a concubine. If she is accused of being a concubine or a concubine, she just picks a day at random and brings a small sedan chair to the door to carry her...

Outside the Forbidden City, Yuyuan, Haizibian.

Hongli was a bit worried, and when he found Hongzhou, he was sitting on the bluestone, holding a fishing rod in his hand, humming a little song, enjoying the joy of fishing leisurely.

Seeing this, Hongli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stepped forward two steps, sat down beside him, hummed, and said, "I don't want to go to the study, and I don't want to go to Uncle Sixteen's side to learn errands, but hide in the garden to be lazy." .”

Hong Zhou turned his head, glanced at him with "resentment", and said, "Fourth brother, my younger brother is sad, why don't you hide and cry by yourself, and shed tears in front of others?"

Hongli was choked by him for a moment, puzzled and said: "Since I've taken a fancy to it, I'll discuss it with Er Niang, and it's not in vain for you to talk about it for so long. Didn't you say a few days ago that you already mentioned it to Er Niang?" , why is there something wrong right now?"

Hearing what he said, Hong Zhou was not in the mood to go fishing anymore, he lifted the fishing rod, threw it aside, and said angrily, "It's not because of the fourth brother!"

Hongli saw that the anger in his heart did not seem to be false, so he couldn't help wondering: "I pointed out someone, how did it involve me?" Having said this, he frowned slightly, and said: "Could it be because of the Cao family?"

There are not many princes today, apart from the third elder brother who has been rejected and the young Fuhui, only the fourth elder brother Hongli and the fifth elder brother Hong Zhou are left.

If the emperor wants to appease and strengthen the relationship between ministers and the royal family, he will choose a few more to match the prince.But sometimes, there are several daughters in a family who all refer to the royal family.

For example, the Guerjia family, where the late Prince Limi Fujin belonged, had two princes, Fujin, as well as several princes, county king Fujin, Baylor, and Mrs. Beizi.

The Cao family has a weak foundation, and the house of the fourth and fifth girls is still a side branch. Even if the two sisters are divided into concubines in the concubine of the prince, it is not a big deal, where is there any hindrance?
"It's not the Cao family, it's for the fourth brother's son Fujin!" Hong Zhou stood up, picked up a few stones from the ground, and then floated them in the water.

Hongli was even more confused when he heard this.

Even though he had already passed the primary selection of the draft, many of them remained in the Chuxiu Palace, and he had also spoken in front of his biological mother.But according to the biological mother's wishes, he and his younger brother's concubine should be delimited by the emperor's father, and there is no movement yet.

Seeing his chaos, Hong Zhou was impatient to be impatient, and said weakly: "Emiang said that Huang Ama mentioned that this draft is only for the fourth brother and me to choose the first Fujin, and the side Fujin will wait later. Naturally, there is no other reason. Give face to the prince's Fujin. Even if the four daughters of the Cao family are of lower background, they are the daughters of the Shichen family. With the status of side Fujin, even in the palace, they can live better; I don't know how much suffering I will suffer. She is a quiet and innocent person, why would I let her go to the palace to suffer for my own selfishness. "

Hongli's remarks to him were not easy to understand, and he said: "It's up to you to say so evil, even if the status is lower, but if you give birth to a little elder brother in the future, you will be promoted, why bother to find someone like this?" comfortable?"

Hongzhou raised his eyebrows, and was noncommittal to Hongli's words.

Yu Mourning Prince Guanglu, said he was a cousin of himself and his great-grandfather.I've seen it once myself, he's fair and clean, but he's a mild-mannered and honest person...

Hong Zhou let out a long breath, patted the dust off his hands, gathered his clothes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Fourth brother, it's getting cold, and my brother wants to eat the pot from Xidan Yuehe Building!"

It was early winter, and after sitting by Haizi for a long time, Hongli was also afraid that Hongzhou would catch the cold, so he nodded his head immediately after hearing this suggestion...

Cao's family, Xifu.

Because Cao's family had something to do, Wen Jie wanted to say goodbye, but was left behind by Cao Yong. The young couple stayed at Cao's house for lunch before leaving.During this period, Li Shi and Chu Yu never asked Niuniu to come out to meet each other.

The world pays attention to "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother", especially orphans like Brother Wenjie and Wenzhi who have no parents.

But the daughter's family is expensive, even if she has already made a small commitment and has a marriage contract, there is no reason for her in-law's family to be on call.

Not to mention that Mrs. He is about the same age as Niuniu, and she came here as a new daughter-in-law to pay her respects to the elders of Cao's parents. If Niuniu was invited out, she would be a bit too entrusted to receive gifts in front of the elders of Cao's parents.

Niuniu also knew that the future uncle and sister-in-law came to visit today, although they were a little curious, they still stayed in Tianhui's room honestly, and the aunt and nephew were doing needlework.

It's not that Tianhui is uncomfortable due to the cold, but that she has ringworm on her face and plasters on her face, which makes it difficult to go out to meet guests.

However, when she heard that Fourth Aunt came back from the palace, she still couldn't hold back and said to Niuniu: "Little Aunt, Fourth Aunt is back, shall we go and have a look?"

We ate and lived together in Qingyuan a few days ago, and our relationship is a bit better than when we were young.

Niuniu was also concerned about the fourth sister, but after looking at Tianhui's face, she still hesitated.

Tianhui had already asked the servant girl to bring a towel, hung it on her ear, and said, "This will cover it, won't it?"

Seeing her like this, Niuniu naturally wouldn't object, so she called a maid, reported to Wutong Garden, and then went to Dongfu with Tianhui.

Zhao Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have come back from offering incense. Hearing that Yi's decree has been issued, Zhao Jia couldn't help being happy, but he was dumbfounded when he heard that the marriage was proposed to Wujue's clan elder brother.

"Isn't the third elder brother of Prince Yu's mansion the same mother and younger brother of the eldest son?" Mrs. Zhao Jia remembered something and asked Chunhua, "I heard in the early years that in their palace, the brothers are of the same mind. Since they are descendants, at worst they must Make me a duke." Having said that, her expression softened a little.

Chunhua and her husband looked at each other, it seems that the old lady thought it was the elder brother of Prince Geyu Baotai's knee.

Baotai's original concubine, who died young, left behind three concubines, who were the eldest son to the third son of the palace.After Fujin came in, he also gave birth to three elder brothers, ranked fifth, seventh, and eighth. The seventh and eighth elder brothers both died young, leaving the fifth elder brother.

For the sake of the position of the son, Prince Yu's mansion also made a lot of noise, and there were a lot of gossips, so Zhao Jia's family also heard about it.

"It's not the son of Lord Baotai, these three elder brothers are the nephews of Lord Baotai. The year before last, Lord Baotai lost his title, and the title went to Prince Yu Mourning. The third elder brother in the decree is Prince Yu Mourning Xu's son, perhaps because he is not old enough, has not been granted a seal yet." Cao Xiang said.

Mrs. Zhao Jia faintly thought of this, and couldn't help frowning, saying: "Then is the third elder brother a descendant, and is the current prince the same mother?"

Cao Xiang shook his head, and said: "The elder brother who has taken the title of prince is the son of Prince Yu Mourning, and this one is the son of a concubine."

Hearing this, Zhao Jia felt that her eyes were darkened, and her body couldn't help shaking.

Seeing this, Chunhua immediately took two steps forward to support her.

Zhao Jia raised his eyelids, looked at Chunhua, and felt tired and crooked.

The prince's concubine is the second-class general of the town.It's okay to fool the ordinary people, but in the capital where the rich and powerful gather, if you go out for a stroll, you can meet a few "generals".

Chunhua's natal family is the general of the clan, and it turns out that they are not as wealthy as the ordinary Eight Banners.

But you can't say anything about complaining, this is a marriage under the Queen's order, and there is also the favor of Thirteen Fujin in the middle.

Zhao Jia supported his head and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait for the other side to make a decision..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the servant girl come in and say: "Old lady, Miss Xifu and Miss Ping are here."

Zhao Jia was extremely disappointed, but he didn't want his concubine and concubine's daughter-in-law to see the joke, so he insisted, "Then please come in."

After a while, Tianhui and Niuniu entered the house.

Although Niu Niu has a foreign surname, she was born and raised in Cao's family, she is no different from her younger generation, and she has no such taboos, so she doesn't need to avoid it when she sees Cao Xiang, and follows Tianhui to greet everyone in the house.

Mrs. Zhao Jia knew about Tianhui's ringworm, and when she saw her wearing a face towel, she had to cheer up and ask a few questions before ordering Chunhua to take their aunt and nephew to see her fourth sister.

Cao Xiang was the only one left. Cao Xiang wanted to leave, but Zhao Jia stayed behind.

After sending the maid out, Zhao Jia took out her handkerchief, covered her eyes, and cried, "You also know that my father-in-law's family is General Lao Shizi, but his name is nice, and the whole family lives on a few hundred taels of salary. Life is hard haha, autumn wind blows everywhere. The fourth sister has a hard life, and now the second and fifth children are no longer in the capital. You are the backbone of the house, so you can’t lose your sister. Your sister is no better than your brothers, there is an old lady For the wedding money left behind, I still count on you brothers to add makeup to her."

When Cao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but bitter in his mouth.

Now I am the head of the family in name, but when will I be the master?

Could it be that he would still be that villain, and wouldn't be able to do it if he didn't buy a dowry for the fourth sister?Even if he wants to be a villain, he probably has no chance.

Over the years, on the pretext that the fourth sister did not have the wedding money left by the old lady, Zhao Jia had already prepared a generous net worth for the fourth sister.Not to mention marrying a clan general, even marrying a prince, the dowry is not shabby.

But, listening to what the old lady meant, she had another plan.

"With the old lady here, my son will naturally listen to the old lady." Cao Xiang said lightly.

Zhao Jia wiped the corners of his eyes, glanced at Cao Xiang, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll make the decision and allocate some land from the public to the fourth sister's brine..."
