Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1220 The first thousand 220 two leftover pearls

When he saw Cao Yong, He Shan's eyes rolled wildly.

He wanted to make a joke, but thinking about Cao Yong's character, he was always serious, and he only got two "hehe" when he said it.

Nalan Fusen looked at Cao Yong, looking a little tangled.Not long ago, he had tea and talk with Cao Yong, so he knew he was not drunk.

If it is said that "wine is not drunk, everyone gets drunk", it is a bit out of line.

That Tiao Niang had the best appearance among the girls who were drinking with her today, but compared with Da GeGe, she was still a bit inferior.

Could it be that he likes this woman young?

Cao Yong knew that they had misunderstood, but he couldn't defend himself, so he could only divert the conversation: "Why are you all outside? After drinking for three rounds, it's time to break up, and most of you will go to the yamen tomorrow... "

He Shan only thought that Cao Yong was in a hurry to Nami, winked his eyebrows, and said: "It's almost time to leave, but everyone is drunk. It's nine cold days, and there is still snow on the road. If there is something wrong, why not?" It's not my fault? There are guest rooms here, so it's better for everyone to spend the night. The earth dragon is warm...the kang is...so soft..."

Seeing his wretched smile, Cao Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was because of this sentence that he understood that he could not leave Tiao Niang with Tang Zi at will.

What kind of life Yao Niang lived in the past, don't do his business; after knowing that Yao Niang may be Ma Jun's daughter, if she doesn't care about it, she will lose her morality.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said: "You don't need to stay overnight, this Tiaoniang's biological father is probably a fellow townsman I know, although he is still very sure now, I have to take care of it..."

Hearing this, Nalan Fusen and He Shan were a little surprised.

Nalan Fusen heaved a sigh of relief. He and Cao's family started friendship from his father's generation.If he eats flower wine with Cao Yong, if it is heard by the princess, it will be embarrassing to walk in the future.

He Shan was reeking of alcohol, and his mind was full of things about men and women.

Although the drama of eating flowers and wine and being a "daughter from the same country" is a bit garrulous, but he still thinks that Cao Yong is a gentleman who is used to being a gentleman, and he can't let go of the excuse of his figure, so he has to slander him, laughing at Cao Yong's unpleasantness in doing things.

"This care...it seems that Furuo intends to take a long-term...long-term care..." He Shan's smile became more obscene, and his tone became weird.

Cao Yong saw that he was drunk, so he didn't bother to talk to him.

Besides this matter, even if he speaks out to defend, others will only regard him as a whore and set up a memorial archway, who will believe that he is selfless in his heart.

Besides, he does have selfish motives.

Don't say that Tiao Niang may be Ma Jun's daughter, his niece, even if this Tiao Niang is just lying and not Ma Jun's blood, it is not good to let her stay outside.Otherwise, if used by someone with a heart, the tongue can hurt and kill.

"That Tiaoniang's body deed..." Cao Yong said in a deep voice.

He Shan grinned and smiled, and patted his chest vigorously, saying: "Some small things are left to my old He."

With Nalan beside him, he couldn't help feeling worried again.

He Shan was not in a state of drunkenness, he still cared about Cao Yong's reputation to some extent, and did not buy it with much fanfare.Instead, the boss was called to a quiet place before he was allowed to give gold and silver.

The master of the music class bought these girls to teach them and serve the nobles, just to sell them for a good price.

Tiao Niang is a virgin, and her appearance is the best among all, He Shan took out 300 taels of silver to get the body deed of Tiao Niang.

So, in less than a quarter of an hour, Cao Yong became the new owner of Tiao Niang.

Cao Yong doesn't like to take advantage, and he doesn't want to let He Shan spend money, so he wants to give He Shan the money of Tiao Niang.

But He Shan refused to accept it. Look at the meaning, Cao Yong will be annoyed no matter how long-winded he is.

Cao Yong had no choice but to give up. He just turned his head and whispered to Nalan Fusen: "Brother Nalan, is Lao He looking for me for something? Today's visit is not like what he used to do."

In the past, people would eat wine when they ate wine. How could it be like today?

Nalan Fusen saw that Heshan went around and didn't mention the business, so he whispered about their desire to participate in the maritime trade.

Cao Yong is not a rigid person, but people like He Shan are all from imperial guards, and now they are also in important positions inside and outside the capital. It is not difficult to sell to these people, but the influence is not good.

If it is used by someone with a heart, maybe they will give themselves a hat of "unpredictable intentions".

This favor cannot be done by oneself.

Although he had made a decision in his heart, he didn't say anything on his face, he just nodded, indicating that he would remember this matter.

After a while, Zhang Yi came back from Cao's residence, bringing a blue woolen carriage.

Cao Yong ordered Zhang Yi to take Tiao Niang into the car, and he went back to the dining room, greeted everyone, and then rode back home.

On the carriage, Yao Niang's heart was pounding, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Besides her, there were two nuns in their fifties in the carriage, both of whom were well dressed.

Yao Niang wanted to ask who these two were, but she was afraid that she would speak rashly and be mistaken for frivolity.She felt sorry for her background and regarded herself as the lady in distress. She was afraid of being looked down upon by others, so she acted very cautiously.

Although the two nuns had low brows and were pleasing to the eye, they couldn't help but look at the young woman in front of them out of the corners of their eyes, guessing her identity.

The appearance is good, but the eyeballs are rolling around, showing irregularities, and the behavior is a bit petty.

They were sent here by Chu Yu, and they were only asked to pick up a girl and send them to the house in Qingfeng Hutong for resettlement.

The house in Qingfeng Hutong is Chu Yu's dowry, and it has been idle all the time, leaving two families to look after the house.

If it were someone else's house, the hostess met the girl outside, and the hostess sent someone to pick her up, so there would be more stories inside.

But Cao Yong didn't care about women's sex, the disrespectful thoughts in the hearts of the two nuns only flashed, and then they changed their thoughts...

*
Back to the mansion, into the inner house, when passing Lanyuan, Cao Yong's footsteps stopped.

It was already around Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening), and the lights in the upper room of Lanyuan were still on.

Cao Yong knew that Li's illness was mostly for Gao Taijun.He sighed, entered the courtyard, and entered the upper room.

"Master..." In the room, there were two servant girls who were on duty at night. When they saw Cao Yong, they got up quickly.

Mrs. Li was in the back room, when she heard the movement, she raised her voice, "Yong'er is back..."

Responding in Cao Yong's mouth, he picked up the curtain and went into the back room.

Mrs. Li was sitting in front of the Buddha statue, holding a string of rosary beads in her hands, with a haggard look on her face.

"If mother is worried about grandma, why don't you go and live there for a few days tomorrow?" Cao Yong said.

Mrs. Li was taken aback when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "Is this cheap? The old lady has already troubled them little ones enough, so I'll go there again?"

Li Ding hadn't arrived home yet, and Li Yu and Li Cheng were both grandnephews who were out of service. It was inappropriate for her, a cousin and grandmother, to go back to her mother's house at an older age.

Cao Yong nodded and said: "It's not cheap to follow the authority in a hurry. Although the aunt in Li's house is getting old, and the two nephews and daughters-in-law are young, the mother used to take care of the grandmother. Maybe they will breathe a sigh of relief."

Instead of letting mother sleep and eat, worrying about Gao Taijun, it is better to go to Gao Taijun's side to be filial.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was very moved, but also hesitated: "What if the old lady doesn't allow it?"

"Mother is the closest person to the old lady, so there is no reason for the old lady not to allow it." Cao Yong said.

Li's face became brighter, she nodded vigorously, and said, "It's the truth, it's the way..."

Cao Yong said a few more words with Li Shi, and waited for her to lie down before returning to Wutong Garden.

Chu Yu was waiting.

Smelling that Cao Yong smelled of alcohol, Chu Yu hurriedly ordered Le Lan to serve the hangover soup.

Cao Yong waved his hand, and said to Chuyu: "The hangover soup is fine. I drank all night, and my stomach is still empty. I feel a little hungry now. I want to eat lump soup, and I will serve it with Zhenjiang vinegar. I will eat it for two A bowl is enough to hangover..."

Chu Yu followed Cao Yong's instructions and helped Cao Yong change his clothes and freshen up.

After Cao Yong finished grooming, Chu Yu dismissed the servant girl and asked, "That girl, is it the blood of Master Wei?"

When Zhang Yi came back, he only said that she was the daughter of an old friend of the master, and asked Chu Yu to arrange for two experienced nuns to stay with her for a few days.

Chu Yu knew most of Cao Yong's old friends, and Jiang Ning Wei Xin was the only one known for his flair.

If it weren't for being romantic and absurd, he wouldn't have taken a dozen or so concubines and added five or six concubines and concubines before he married his main wife.

Other people, even if they are not as upright as Cao Yong, are mostly out of character.

Cao Yong shook his head, took a sip of hot tea, and said: "It's not related to Wei Xin, according to her own statement, she is Ma Jun's maid."

"Ah?" Chu Yu couldn't help being surprised when she heard this.

Ma Jun is the only son with two concubines, and the two main wives are both ladies of officials and eunuchs. They are more virtuous than others who change their ways. There is no shortage of concubines and concubines in the family. There are also many concubines and concubines. The image of Ding Maosheng.

There are no jealous wives in the family, and they still keep a foreign house. Where did the plan come from?
At this moment, she only noticed that her husband said the word "self-reporting" just now, and she understood why he was placed outside instead of directly brought into the mansion...

Keeping this matter in mind, the next morning, before going to Yamen, Cao Yong was an uninvited guest and went to Ma Zhai.

Although Ma Zhai is divided into two places, Cao Yong can't make a mistake.

Ma Jun is a child of Confucianism, and his uncle is the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

In the first half of each month, he was placed in the long room; in the second half of the month, he was placed in the second room.They have been married for more than ten years and have always been like this.

Ma Jun was having breakfast with Mrs. Zhong, and when he heard the news of Cao Yong's visit, he thought he heard it wrong.

After the boy said it again, he came to his senses, immediately put down his chopsticks, and walked quickly with his shoes on, wondering if something serious had happened.Otherwise, with Cao Yong's calm temperament like a mountain, it would be really difficult to do something that came this early in the morning without warning.

Cao Yong was drinking tea in the living room, he didn't feel anything last night, but when he woke up, he was a little hangover and his temples hurt.

Under the hangover and headache, his complexion was a little ugly.

Seeing this, Ma Jun became more and more worried.

He knows that there has been some unrest in the sixth part recently.I was worried about Cao Yong before, but I thought that Cao Yong was a relative of the emperor, and he acted respectfully, so he should not be involved.

"Fu Ruo, come here early in the morning, could it be that something serious has happened?" When the two were young friends, Ma Jun didn't exchange pleasantries, and when he met Cao Yong, he went straight to the point.

Cao Yong raised his eyes, looked at Ma Jun with a half-smile, and said: "There is indeed a big event, but it has nothing to do with me, but Brother Tiancheng's happy event?"

"Happy event?" Ma Jun was a little confused: "What happy event?"

If it is said that his promotion is not a certainty, it is almost inseparable, so Cao Yong should not let Cao Yong go to the door early in the morning to tease himself; Cao Yong was taken aback.

Cao Yong was not in a hurry to speak, but only looked at the young man standing at the door.

Seeing this, Ma Jun knew what was going on, and waved his hand to send the boy away.

There were only two people left in the hall, and Cao Yong said, "Congratulations, brother Tiancheng, for having another daughter."

Hearing this, Ma Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Fu Ruo was drunk this morning, when did I have a daughter? Even if there is a concubine with two bodies, it's only three months old, who knows if it's a daughter or a son?" ?”

Cao Yong didn't speak, just took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun answered it confusedly, looked at it with a frown, but couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This is my handkerchief!"

Cao Yong glanced at him and said: "Since I still recognize this handkerchief, brother Tiancheng must know who to give this handkerchief as a token."

Hearing this, Ma Jun pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "There is such a thing, it doesn't matter whether you keep something or not."

Cao Yong listened, and his heart sank.

Originally, he thought that a handkerchief didn't mean anything, maybe there was some misunderstanding in it.If Ma Jun really had an illegitimate daughter, it would not only damage his reputation, but also affect several children of the Ma family.

And that Tiao Niang, who lost her mother in her teens and was raised like a plaything, is really pitiful.

Then I heard Ma Jun continue to say: "Speaking of which, Fu Ruodang also knows about this person. It's not someone else, but the young lady of Cui Fucheng's family who was confiscated and questioned back then."

Hearing what he said, Cao Yong recalled the scene when he was taken by Wei Xin to the opposite side of Linxiazhai when he was a teenager to peek at the daughters of Jizhu Society.

Among them, there was a young girl with a petite figure, but she wore a thick gold collar on her chest and a golden lock the size of a fist.The carriages used were also covered with gold leaf on the curtains.

"It's that Miss Cui who almost made a kiss with you?" Cao Yong remembered another old thing.

At that time, Ma Jun's father was the magistrate of Jiangning, and he was subordinate to Cui Fucheng.The Cui family intends to cling to Shangguan, revealing the meaning of getting married.Ma Zhifu didn't like Cui Fucheng's character, so he declined the marriage.For this, the two families were still having an unhappy fight.

Ma Jun nodded and said: "Although her parents are greedy and despicable, they are not bad people. In the early years, the sisters of the same family were friends in the boudoir. It's just that because Cui Fucheng broke the official position, all the family members were sold into slavery, so she didn't enter the family. Slavery. I met her in Changsha County. At that time, she was redeemed by relatives and passed through Changsha. There happened to be a case in the government. A girl from a family was abducted by a kidnapper and a case was filed in the county government. The family is In addition to reporting to the officials, the rich families in the country also made many people guard the intersection and pier. Coincidentally, this young lady of the Cui family happened to look a bit like the abducted girl, and she was kidnapped by the family along with two relatives. Hold it. Later, I made a fuss at the county government office. I looked at Cui's daughter's birthplace and history, and became suspicious, and then I recognized that it was Jin Zhu, the eldest daughter of the Cui family. She fell and broke her elbow, so I took it out. A veil, and asked someone to bandage her... Later the truth came out, her two relatives wanted to take her away, and I gave 50 taels of silver as a gift to her. Relative, it looked really pitiful. I couldn't see it, so I said that if she had a hard time in the future, she could come to the county government to find me, and I could take care of her..."

*
Finally back to Beijing, the sky is very blue, the leaves are very green, ho ho.More than 70 hours before and after, 24 hours in the train, ten hours in the car, during the two days I stayed there, I moved to three places, so it was a toss... Get down, it's better to go home.I went to bed early tonight, and will try to update tomorrow.The monthly ticket is up to you.
