Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1239 Face Change
Prince Yu's mansion is the descendant of the ancestors, and it is a close branch of the clan. In addition, Prince Yuxian is the elder brother of the ancestor, which makes this branch have a better status in the clan.

However, within three years, he won the title twice and changed his title, which made the prestige of Prince Yu's Mansion not as good as before.

Everyone knows that if Prince Yu's mansion is not in the eyes of the emperor, the prince's weight will not appear so precious.

Except for the sixteenth elder brother who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who went to the palace to show his face, the other people who attended the wedding banquet were at best Baylor.In other prince's mansions and county prince's mansions, even if people were sent to attend the wedding banquet, they were mostly sons and nephews.

Guanglu is the grandson of Prince Yuxian, the current cousin, and his seniority is not high in the clan.It makes sense for clan brothers of the same generation to come over for a drink.

But Guanglu's identity, he attached himself to his uncle in the early years, and attached to his elder brother in the first two years. He was originally an invisible person.

Among the elder brothers in various palaces, he didn't know many of them.

The few yellow belts that came before were all shabby households attached to the palace by the clan.These people came to join in the show, but there was no respect, so they could only go to the side hall, and they were not even qualified to show up in the main hall.

In this way, even if the congratulatory guest came to the door, the guest of honor had nothing to say, and the atmosphere was very deserted.

No one knew how many years Guanglu's prince's hat could be worn. According to the tradition of the clan's succession, his uncle's branch had already been punished, and his descendants lost their right of inheritance, as did his elder brother's side.

There are still a few older younger brothers in the palace who have not been knighted. If Guanglu can't wear this hat, he will most likely be chosen by those younger brothers.

Who can tell?Everyone knows that the emperor is strict with the clan, and he is not generous. If he has selfish intentions, then...

In this way, even if the title is not as good as that of Guanglu, they dare not go to his side and talk to familiar clansmen in twos and threes.

It wasn't until the Cao Mansion's dowry arrived that it covered the entire courtyard, and everyone's eyes lit up.

Earlier, they had secretly sneered, the daughter of a fifth-rank confidante, and her ancestors were coated clothes, so what if Prince Fujin of such a low family background was a side branch of the Cao family?
If it is the daughter of Shang Shufu's concubine, it can make everyone pay more attention; but it is just Shang Shu's cousin, it seems to be of little importance.

If it hadn't been for Cao Yin's honor to carry the flag, maybe she would have been selected as a maid in the palace.

When the dazzling array of dowry was spread all over the floor, the 120-acre Zhuangzi, four dowry shops, two real estates, and [-] dowries dazzled everyone's eyes.

Even if the clan married Gege, there are not many palaces with such a grandeur. Inevitably, some people would speak bitterly, with a strange look of yin and yang, saying: "A prince Fujin came out of the ancestral grave. It's not unusual for the whole family to buy a dowry."

At this time, someone who knew the details of the Cao family's East Mansion just snapped his fingers and counted with everyone: "Where is the Qing family used? Although there are only two wives left in the Cao family's older generation, the younger generation is all very good. Except Mrs. Li's youngest son, four cousins ​​of Cao Shangshu, became officials; the sisters are ranked five, except for the fourth girl, there is also a prince Fujin, a state duke Fujin, and a prince concubine Fujin. There are so many brothers and sisters to fill in It’s nothing to put together this dowry.”

In the clan, except for the princes who have errands, not everyone cares about the powerful and powerful.

Now, after hearing what this person said, from the initial disdain, he also began to pay attention.

Why is the elder brother of the Fujin compatriot already a second-rank general soldier, and the concubine brother is serving as a lecturer for the Imperial Academy, and so on. Everyone asked the Cao brothers' official resumes all over the place.

The ones who paid the most attention were the aunts of the Cao family.

Although it is not uncommon for many surnames in Manchuria to have multiple women from the same clan pointing to the clan, but the same clan is broad, and some are from the same ancestor, but it is not known how far apart; Five girls, three into the imperial family and one into the royal family, everyone can see that the Cao family is decent in front of the emperor.

Those who originally guessed that Guanglu was the "transitional" prince also added a bit of hospitality.

Guanglu is under the fence of Xiaojiren, where can't you see the changes in everyone?

He added a little gratitude to the Cao family.

When he went to Cao's house to meet him personally, he was also sincerely grateful to Cao Yong and Cao Xiang.

He is not an arrogant person, and the fourth sister has an honest temperament. When the husband and wife stand together, it looks more harmonious.

On the second day of their marriage, the couple went to the palace to thank each other as usual.

Although the fourth sister is only handsome in appearance, she is tall and tall like her mother, not like a Han Chinese, but more like a Manchurian aunt.She was also trained by the maid of the palace, and behaved generously and politely.

Yongzheng was very satisfied when he saw it. After asking a few words and rewarding him with something, he sent them to see the queen.

The Empress has always had a good impression of the Cao family. When she was in the Qian Mansion, Nianshi was favored by many people, but she was treated poorly because of her son Fujin's death and her gentle personality. ;Only the Cao family has always been respectful and courteous, and treats her as a concubine Fujin very courteously.

Even the Cao Jia sisters who came out with the Cao family were very filial to her.

For this reason, she always has a high regard for the Cao family, otherwise she would not treat Wu'er differently.

Now, after seeing the fourth sister, the queen is even more satisfied, she talks a few words of family life in a pleasant manner, and stays a rare meal.

Before the two of them left, the queen also asked the fourth sister to hand out more signs to the palace to say hello after they were out of the opposite month.

The fourth sister thanked again and again before leaving the palace with Guanglu.

They are just the clan, not the royal family, so there is no need to greet the concubine.

But the rewards from the emperor and empress are already quite good, there are half a cart full of things.

Guanglu can also see that he has been favored by his wife, and he thinks of her more highly in his heart.

The fourth sister has always been meek, but she is a bit of a criminal who is not surprised by honor or disgrace. Enduring her shyness, she met the internal and external stewards of the palace, received the account books and keys of the warehouse, and became the mistress of the palace...

When Cao Jia's family got married back then, Cao Yin and his wife went to Beijing to send them off. Cao Yong was still young in this generation.

Now, when the fourth sister returns home, everyone understands what it means to "fly on a branch and become a phoenix" and what it means to "distinguish between superiority and inferiority".

In addition to the Li family, even the Zhao Jia family, Fujin's biological mother, also went out to meet the prince and Prince Fujin with the Cao Yong brothers.

National ceremony first, family ceremony later, strict and well-behaved, but a little less lively.

It wasn't until the fourth sister went to the inner courtyard, and brothers Cao Yong and Cao Xiang accompanied Guanglu to the banquet, that everyone was more comfortable talking.

The fourth sister greeted Mrs. Li and looked at Mrs. Zhaojia.

She originally had a cheerful temperament, not a cowardly one, but thinking that in the future, she and her cousin Prince Ping, Prince Fujin, may not have a day to return to Ning all year round, so she couldn't help but shed tears while holding Zhao Jia's arm.

Looking at her graceful and luxurious daughter, Mrs. Zhao Jia couldn't express what she felt. She was both proud and reluctant, for fear that she would be wronged.

The daughter's joy of marrying into a noble family has been replaced by worry.

The rich and powerful family in the capital, the most common joke after dinner is about the wives and concubines of the palace competing for power.

The deep house of the prince's mansion, where is it easy to stay.

In Zhao Jia's heart, she couldn't help feeling remorseful.

She had suffered from dowry maids crawling on the bed in the early years, and she really didn't want her daughter to suffer from this again. The eight dowry maids in the past were all honest and responsible.As a result, it also made her daughter lose her support.

She hesitated for a moment, and said: "If you don't have enough people around you, you can send someone to send a letter back, and pick a few more people to send to you..."

Going back to the door to say this, although it is sympathetic to my daughter, it is too early.

It's hard for Mrs. Li to persuade her, she just pretends not to hear; Chu Yu and Chunhua are sisters-in-law, it's even harder to say anything.

The fourth sister looked calm and said: "Enough is enough, now there are only two masters in the palace, me and the prince, there are nearly a hundred servants in the register, and there are about twenty maids in the inner house."

When Zhao Jia heard this, he couldn't help opening his eyes, and said: "Why are there only about twenty maids, and you just brought eight over, and the palace only has about ten maids, isn't it?"

Her question made everyone look curiously at Fourth Sister.

The fourth sister nodded and said: "A few years ago, the palace released people once, but they didn't make up for it; last year, they dealt with some servants..."

When Zhao Jia heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Even if there are fewer people, we must make up for it; is it because someone bullied the prince for being young, do you want to ask the Thirteenth Lord?"

The palace has the regulations of the palace, even if there are few masters and many people are employed, if there are fewer, it will be a loss of status.

Except for Zhao Jiashi, the remaining three more or less understood the reason.

In the past three years, Prince Yu's mansion was ransacked twice, and the honor and disgrace of the servants were all tied to the master. It is not unusual for some people to be beaten and violent.

The fourth sister shook her head hurriedly, and said: "No need, it's easy to take care of with fewer people, the palace's affairs are not so much, the current people are already enough..."

The Cao family is happy and happy here, but there are dark clouds in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"What a history pen is like a knife, what a history pen is like a knife!" Yongzheng squeezed the folder in his hand, gnashing his teeth.

His hands were trembling, and he seemed extremely angry.

Seeing this, Elder Seventeen immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, there is no need to hurt the dragon's body for someone irrelevant..."

Yongzheng stood up, gritted his teeth, and said, "Irrelevant? Why is it irrelevant? I didn't want to argue with them, but they pushed forward... I owe my reputation of 'mean and ungrateful' to them... ...Guo Luoluo family, Guo Luoluo family..." In the end, the new and old hatred added up, and he felt that his lungs would explode.

"Prince Chuanyi and Prince Zhuang are here!" He let out a breath, told Elder Seventeen to stand up, and then ordered his servants.

The waiter's voice faded away, Yongzheng glanced at the date recorded in the booklet, and said to Elder Seventeen: "The news from five days ago was delivered to the imperial court, isn't it too late? I will hand over the sticky stick to you, you You should also be careful, don't just hang around women's skirts all day long."

Elder Seventeen hurriedly said: "Returning to the emperor, the news of the clan is reported every five days, and the news of the powerful and powerful is reported every seven days. These are all in accordance with the previous rules. I dare not make any changes...but it is a big deal to slander the holy bow." , I was about to ask the emperor for instructions, if there is such news in the future, should I pass it to the emperor at that time?"

Yongzheng nodded and said, "It should be like this..."
