Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1245 New Errand

When Cao Yong came home, it was already dark.

Chu Yu didn't sleep, and was looking at the roster in the mansion, arranging the candidates to stay behind.

The weather was getting hotter, and although Sheng Jia didn't escape the summer outside the Great Wall, he had to leave the palace to go to the Old Summer Palace.As a result, the powerful families in Beijing also began to arrange to go to Haidian Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat.

Except for Hang Seng Yin who was on duty at the bodyguard, this time the whole family went to the Haidian Garden, and when Niu Niu came out of the cabinet, they returned to Beijing to see her off.

Niuniu's wedding date was originally scheduled for April, but later she felt that it was too hasty, fearing that it would delay Wei Wenjie's exam, so Cao Yong decided to arrange it after the Dragon Boat Festival.

According to Cao Yong's original intention, it would be better to delay until Niu Niu.However, Chu Yu disagreed. After all, it is customary in the capital for noble girls to marry early, and there are many people who go out in the cardamom age; only poor families who cannot arrange the dowry for a while will delay their daughter's wedding.

Although Niu Niu was raised pampered and spoiled in the Cao family, in the eyes of the world, she is a fatherless orphan after all.

If he didn't leave the cabinet until February [-]th, no one would talk about it in the future.

Although Cao Yong was reluctant, there was nothing he could do...

Seeing her husband come back, Chu Yu put down the roster and got up to greet her.

Because Cao Yong had eaten a lot of wine with his father-in-law, his body was a little hot, and his mouth felt dry. "Gudong", "Gudong" still felt thirsty after drinking a cup of warm tea, and said: "A few days ago, Master Sixteen Is there any more watermelon sent by the envoy?"

Now is not the season for watermelons to go on the market, no matter how much money you spend, there is no place to buy them.

On the other side of the melon garden of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the seedlings were raised in a greenhouse, so that the watermelons ripened half a month earlier, and they were only used for the palace.

Because the emperor was sympathetic to sixteenth elder brother's hard work in the funeral, he gave the palace two baskets.Sixteen Fujin was grateful to Chu Yu for helping to take care of her daughter these days, and when she sent someone to pick up Xiao Gege, she sent a basket over.

"It's gone, there was only one left. Aunt Han came here today, and she used it to treat guests... It's the white mulberry that Zhuangzi sent two days ago, and there are still some. Serve me a plate of sober bars?" Chu Yu Said.

Cao Yong nodded, it doesn't matter what, as long as it is cool.

When the mulberries came up, Cao Yong ate half of the plate, but felt his mouth was getting tired of sweetness, so he put down the plate and rinsed his mouth.

Cao Yong didn't tell his wife about the family turmoil in Chunwang's mansion, but casually made up an excuse to expose the matter of going to Chunwang's mansion to eat wine.

One is that he doesn't want his wife to worry about it, but he doesn't want her to participate in the affairs of the palace.

Hongshu was impeached, although Hongjing's mother family contributed to the flames, but it was also a hidden danger that had existed for a long time.

All honor and disgrace are just a thought of the emperor.

However, Cao Yong carefully recalled his father-in-law's words and deeds in recent years, and his worry was reduced a little.Although during the Shengzu dynasty, Prince Chun was not on Jinshang's side early on like the [-]th and [-]th elder brothers, but he also abided by his duties and did not mix with the other elder brothers who seized the heir apparent.

And in Cao Yong's point, the relationship with Prince Yong's Mansion there has always been friendly.

Yongzheng suppressed the clan kings, but because of the poor sanctuary in the past two years, he was afraid that something would happen to him, and Hongli would be bullied when he was young.

Now, Yongzheng's body is in almost the same condition.

Years ago in the draft, although only two young women from small households were reserved to fill the harem, but in this year's "minor selection" by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than a dozen court ladies were retained to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so far only two After many months of hard work, many court ladies have been favored.

The emperor has no family affairs, and the officials who can do it in the capital have their own sources of news.

Everyone was worried at first, whether it was because the emperor missed the late Concubine Nian that he began to favor these soft and beautiful wrapped women frequently.

It doesn't matter if the emperor favors a few court ladies, but if he has a pet and a high position, the influence will be great.

Fortunately, Yongzheng has not lost the emperor's wisdom after the "dragon-horse spirit". Even the two favorites at the moment are just nobles, and the others are either promised or always there. .

Thinking of this, the heaviness in Cao Yong's heart eased a bit, and he said with a smile: "The princes will definitely accompany you when the saint is out of the palace. I will send someone to ask to see if the fifth sister will follow. If she Follow along, and when you go to the garden to pay your respects to the queen, you can see her too."

Since the fourth sister came out of the cabinet, Cao Song wrote to Cao Yong, mentioning that Wu'er in the palace wanted to prepare a sum of money for Wu'er to add a private house, so as to save her from having a hard time after Fu Jin came in.

Cao Yong also knew the power of the people in the palace, and he had no objection to preparing money for Wu'er.The premise is that Wu'er is still honest and responsible, and has no great intentions to bring the family into the gutter.

Let Chuyu visit her more, hoping to get rid of one or two, so as to save a good girl from becoming a dissatisfied woman in the palace.

The next day, it happened to be the household department's turn to be on duty. Cao Yong got up early and rushed to the outside of the palace at dawn.

It has only been six days since the last shift of the household department, and Yongzheng's complexion is obviously better than last time.It seems that the news about Longti Kangtai should not have been faked.

Cao Yong's mood suddenly relaxed.

I remember that in history, Yongzheng had a young prince after Fuhui Elder Brother.

I hope that the prince will land soon and give Yongzheng some encouragement, lest he think that his time is approaching and torment everyone.

Yongzheng's mood also seemed to be very good, although he still had a straight face, but his eyes were only peaceful, without the coldness of the past.

After discussing a few things, Yongzheng mentioned the matter of the Tianjin Wei Navy's military training. At the [-]th elder brother, Jiang Sunzhu, the minister of the military department, and Cao Yong, the minister of the household department, went to Tianjin Wei for the military parade.

Cao Yong is now in charge of maritime trade matters, and it is also his job to go to see the port and the naval camp.

The seventeenth elder brother didn't say anything in front of the emperor, and wept bitterly when he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Seeing this, Cao Yong couldn't help smiling.

Who in the capital does not know that although the King of Guojun is also the prince of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and assists Prince Zhuang in managing the House of Internal Affairs, the most frequent place is not the yamen and the palace, but the Palace of the King of Guojun.

But now, Seventeen Fujin's delivery date is approaching...

Cao Yong restrained his smile and looked at Elder Seventeen with a bit of confusion.

Out of the palace, the seventeenth elder brother took Cao Yong to the Ministry of War under the pretext of going out of Beijing with Cao Yong.

Elder Seventeen didn't ask someone to call Sun Zhu over to discuss the matter immediately, but dismissed everyone in the room, lowered the volume, and said with a little pleading: "Fu Ruo, you and I have been friends for almost 20 years, now you can You can't help me..."

Cao Yong heard the words and said: "If the prince wants to go to Tianjin Wei, the minister will follow. It's just that Mr. Sun is there, I'm afraid it won't be possible..."

Sun Zhu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is a veteran minister left by the Shengzu Dynasty. Last year, he began to act as an acting scholar again. He is one of the cabinet ministers who are valued by the emperor.He is the Minister of Palm Printing, and if he goes to the military parade with the seventeenth elder brother, it can also show the importance the court attaches to the naval battalion.

However, this old man is in his seventies this year...

It is nearly three hundred miles from the capital to Tianjinwei. Let alone let Sun Zhu ride a horse, even make a carriage.

Elder Seventeen waved his hand and said, "It's not this. Although the Emperor is annoyed by Sun Zhu, he can torment Sun Zhu, but he won't allow others to be presumptuous. It's Fujin's end, and the delivery date is approaching. I'm very worried and want to I need to ask Da Gege to help me and take care of it for a few days."

At the end, he was already somewhat earnest: "I know, because last year you were forced to go to Cai's mansion to ask for a prescription, which made you annoyed, and you became estranged from me. But apart from you and Brother Sixteen, who else can I believe in?" Which one will I get? At this time, Sixteenth Sister-in-Law is ill, so I can only have the audacity to beg you two."

In the usual way, when Seventeen elder brother said this, Cao Yong would be embarrassed again, but now he shook his head firmly.

Brother Seventeen saw this, his face turned pale, he frowned and looked at Cao Yong, and said for a while: "You are still blaming me... It's not that I don't know what to do, I just want to wait for Fujin to give birth, and then make amends with you..."

Cao Yong showed a bit of solemnity on his face, looked at the seventeenth elder brother, and said: "My lord, you shouldn't come to beg your ministers and wives... When you encounter difficulties, you should go to the emperor. The emperor regards the lord as his arm. For big things, the emperor will protect the prince..."

Elder Seventeen was startled for a moment, then his eyes gradually cleared up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes, yes, when you encounter difficulties, you should ask the emperor..."

He knew that the emperor was annoyed, so he sent him out of Beijing at this time.He was thinking about how to hand over the confession so that the emperor would not have any grudges left in his heart.

After listening to Cao Yong's words, it's like being enlightened...

Hearing that her husband was away on business in Beijing, Chu Yu hesitated, and said, "Why don't I send the old lady to Haidian Garden after my master comes back..."

"It's very unnecessary. It's getting hotter and hotter these days. If you move there earlier, everyone's life will be easier..." Cao Yong said.

While the husband and wife were talking, Chu Yu remembered something and said, "Today the old lady told Hang Seng to call those two classmates back for dinner sometime later."

"The two boys in Jiaogu? Alright, why does the old lady think of them?" Cao Yong said.

After Gu Xian failed, he was embarrassed to continue to live in Cao's mansion temporarily, so he bought a second-entry small house outside the front door, and invited Jiao Wen to move there together.

"It's probably because of Sister Hui. Sister Hui is a few months older than Niu Niu. If the people in Jiangning weren't messing around, they should have been blamed." Chu Yu said.

Although the Han Jiang family has lived a peaceful life in the capital for more than ten years, but with the growing up of their adopted daughter Hui'er in the past few years, the Han Jiang family has become restless again.

One clamored that since he entered the Han family, he should guard the blood of the Han family. There is no reason for adoptive daughters to inherit the family business. He should adopt the blood of the Han family. If he refused, the Han family property should be taken back; the other put on a loving face, "Poor "The widows of Han Jiang's family who are unemployed must come forward to protect them and ask Han Jiang's family to choose a son-in-law from among the Jiang family's nephews and nephews to take care of them.

Han Jiangshi has seen the faces of those two families before, how could he lure wolves into the house?
But Hui'er is an adopted daughter after all, and it is not easy for a daughter to inherit the family business. How could the Han Jiang family leave hidden dangers.The year before last, she borrowed a few people from the Cao family and took her daughter to Jiangning.

First, she went to the Jiang family, and donated all the money sold by the two old houses inherited from her father to the family, and bought the land as the family property; The dowry list will be doubled and returned to the Han family's property.

The faces of the members of the Han family turned green at that time.

The Han family originally sent their son to be a son-in-law for the elderly, so they were not willing to pay for the betrothal gift. The Jiang family envoy sent the betrothal gift there.

Even the Cheng family, the Han Jiang family was not left behind. According to the dowry list left by her mother, she gave back a sum of money at a discounted price, which caused her younger brother Cheng Mengxian to complain a lot.

Between siblings, there is nothing that cannot be said directly.

Cheng Mengxian knew that her sister was not guarding against herself, but was guarding against someone who would bully Sister Hui in the name of the clan or the elder's dowry after their sister and brother passed away...
