Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1252 The Return
The color faded from Zheng Woxue's face, her body froze, she looked at her husband for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master has not been very concerned about my medicine, not because I already have a son, but because I know, but know……"

The two got married, Wang Lusheng looked at her like this, couldn't bear it, and nodded.

Zheng Woxue only felt that there was a fog in front of her eyes, and said, "Does the old lady know about this?"

"I don't know, don't think too much about it. There are many ordinary people who have wives and no children, and it's not just you and me." Wang Quantai comforted.

Zheng Woxue lowered her eyes and said, "Master, when did you find out?"

This kind of privacy is definitely not something that ordinary people can know.After all, if the rumor spread, who would dare to ask for the pearl-digging girl.

Zheng Woxue's face showed a bit of sadness, she never remembered that her mother mentioned this matter.When the mother called for a son-in-law, the family was still well-off, so she didn't need to go fishing for pearls.

In his early years, he managed the Cao family's Taihu Zhuchang for his livelihood.In those few years, she couldn't say that she was soaked in the water all day, and she didn't dare to be careless at all.

... If it comes to talk about it, Tiankui is not going well, it is not good for offspring, and it is just right...

As I was thinking wildly, I heard Wang Quantai say: "When I was in Guangzhou, I had a crush on my wife, so I wrote to Uncle Qi, wanting to ask my parents for permission... Uncle Qi mentioned this in his reply letter. This matter, let me make up my own mind... Madam has a quiet and calm personality, which is exactly what I want, so I will not change my original intention..."

Zheng Woxue looked at Wang Quantai in a daze, and said, "Why did the master never tell me these things in the past?"

"In my heart, I also hoped that the gods would open their eyes... After adding these bastards, I can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors, but I have taken too much care, and I didn't make up my mind to keep my son and mother, and let them raise their son, which made you suffer." Wronged..." Wang Quantai said.

Both the husband and wife are not good talkers. After talking so much, the rest is silence.

Standing in the yard, Zheng Hu couldn't hear the movement from the living room, and his face was a little worried.

Mrs. Cao stood aside and advised in a low voice: "Grandma has a mind, she will never let herself be wronged, just rest assured."

Zheng Hu glanced at his wife and said: "I have ordered people to tidy up the old house, can you rest assured?"

Mrs. Cao curled her lips and said, "What's wrong with being the head of the family? Being with my uncle, you have to be angry with everyone from top to bottom. Apart from being a wife, what's so rare on my uncle's side? These years, if It's not Zhang Luo, they can live such a rich life. There are too many officials and eunuchs in Beijing, and it's not just one or two who slap their faces and pretend to be fat?"

Half of the 5 taels of silver left by Zheng Hu in the early years have been handed over to the family in recent years, and used to buy fields and land. He only told his wife that he borrowed from his sister and did business several times.

For this reason, Mrs. Cao was only grateful to her sister-in-law, and even told her husband that if the Wang family wronged Zheng Woxue because of childlessness, they would take her back to her natal family to raise her, and let the children take care of her aunt.

This time when Zheng Woxue came back, she also took the initiative to ask about her second nephew, Zheng Zhongping...

Sheng Jia was not in the capital, and it was getting late, so Cao Yong didn't need to pass the sign outside the palace, so he sent it to the Ministry of Officials to report, and he said goodbye to Sun Zhu directly, and went home.

Because Niuniu's marriage is coming soon, everyone who spent the summer outside the city returned to the city, except Tianyou and Zuozhu, they are all there, even Hengsheng from Xiumuzhong is here in Cao's mansion.

Hearing that Cao Yong came back, everyone came out to welcome him.

What Cao Yong is most concerned about is naturally the preparations for the happy event.

Hearing that the members of the Xi clan have arrived, the banquet, drums and music are all ready, just waiting to make a list and start sending out invitations, Cao Yong nodded and said: "Since it is your little aunt's important matter, you brothers should work harder. .”

Everyone agreed in unison, Cao Yong asked Tianyou, "Who are all the people from Xi's family?"

"A total of three people came, one is my aunt's cousin, and two are my aunt's elder sister and elder brother-in-law. They are all placed in the guest room." Tianyou replied.

Cao Yong heard the words, could not help frowning.

Niuniu's cousin is Zhuang Chang's son Zhuang Yanping, who respected his father's order to cultivate and study in the family, and did not become an official. When Mr. Zhuang died of illness, Zhuang Chang was also in poor health.However, on the anniversary of the burning, he still went to Beijing to worship in person, fulfilling all the etiquette.For this reason, Cao Yong had a good impression of him, so after Niu Niu's wedding date was set, he sent someone to send a letter to the south of the Yangtze River.

Those two brother-in-laws went to the capital after Mr. Zhuang died of illness, which is very unseemly.

At that time, they were thinking about Mr. Zhuang's legacy. Seeing that Lianqiu and Xijie were young, their words were not clean.

Cao Yong was too lazy to talk to them, so he told Wei Hei to frighten them and drive them out of Beijing, so as to avoid the noise.

"I'll go back to the inner courtyard first, and you can invite Zhuang Yanping to the living room to talk before dinner." Cao Yong confessed: "Others, you guys should be busy first, just don't make any mistakes."

Everyone agreed, and Cao Yong asked Hang Seng about the progress of the construction of the Wangfu garden, and asked about the situation in Ningzhai, the brother of Zuozhu, before returning to the inner house.

There are guests in Li's house.

It was Concubine Mi who heard that Cao's mansion was going to hold a wedding, so she sent her mother-in-law over, saying that she wanted to ask for a post, and that she would come over to have a wedding wine.

Niu Niu came out of the court, because her surname is not Cao, she is a foster relative, Cao's house is only going to serve wine for three days, and the guests are all relatives and friends.

Concubine Mi did this to give the Cao family a big favor, and also to find a reason to come out and get together with the Li family.

Although Mrs. Li also went to Baylor Mansion to pay respects to the concubine, because the fifteenth elder brother "recovered from illness" and was not good at treating guests, so during the past two years, Mrs. Li has only been there twice.

On Li's side, naturally there are only those he likes.

Just when Cao Yong came over, Li mentioned the matter to his son.

Cao Yong said: "Tomorrow, I will personally deliver the post."

The two maids of Baylor's House asked for a reply and went back to report.

Cao Yong first went back to Wutong Courtyard to take a bath and changed into homely clothes. Then, together with Chu Yu, he went back to Orchid Courtyard to talk with Mrs. Li.

"Big brother fell to the ground six catties and four ounces. He is white and fat, and it is very painful." Li Shi smiled Mimi, and said it was all good news: "Brother Li left the library and taught editing."

Cao Yong only smiled and listened, knowing that his mother was worried about Li's house, so he asked a few more questions about Li Xu's health.

"After a few days of recuperation, it's getting better..." Mrs. Li said quite gratified: "After your majesty sees that you have replied to the errand, you will also go to see your uncle when you have time. Don't look at others, just because he took care of me in the early years For the sake of the old lady..."

While talking, Legui came in quietly, stood behind Chuyu, and replied in a low voice.

Chu Yu couldn't help but change his face when he heard that.

When Cao Yong heard the word "report the funeral", he also turned his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Li also stopped speaking, and looked at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu stood up and said, "The Nian family sent someone to report the funeral, the old lady of the Nian family is gone..."

After all, as he got older, he even avoided life and death. Even though he knew that the Nian family and his family were just ordinary in-laws, Mrs. Li felt quite sad: "Poor insight, he is a sensible person. When he is old and old, he is dragged down by his descendants."

Cao Yong thought about the pardon of the descendants of the Nian family, and asked Chu Yu, "The emperor pardoned the descendants of the Nian family, have you returned home?"

The amnesty was issued in early April, and it has been a month now.

If you travel quickly, you can also reach Beijing.

When Chu Yu heard this, his face darkened, and he said: "Among the four Nian family descendants who were exiled, two of them died of illness, and the remaining two, one disabled, delayed returning to Beijing, and only one Nian Xing was left. Returning to Beijing, I don’t know if I’ve arrived or not. There’s no information there, and this time the amnesty came out, so Beijing got the letter, and I heard that my seventh brother-in-law vomited blood after hearing it, and almost didn’t go there.”

When Cao Yong heard the words, he only felt a chill in his back.

In Nian Gengyao's lineage, the exile of children over 15 years old was only a matter of the winter of the previous year, and it has only been a year and a half since then, with two dead and one disabled, and four survived.

According to the decree, the young children left behind by Nian Gengyao will be dispatched in turn when they reach the age of 15.

If there is no amnesty order, whether Nian Gengyao's branch can really be left is another matter.

Failure in the officialdom will bring disaster to the descendants, Nian Gengyao is a clear proof.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong was a little disheartened.

Nian Gengyao made many mistakes, the root cause is that he did too much.

When the emperor needs it, doing more is to share the worries of the emperor; when being rejected by the emperor, doing more is overstepping.

"The old man is over eighty years old, so it's a joyous funeral. When I meet three, I will go there with Chuyu." Seeing that Li Shi was also sad, Cao Yong changed his subject.

For funeral ceremonies in the capital, the closer the family is, the earlier the worship.

When Nian Gengyao was arguing about his crimes, he ordered Nian Gengyao's wife, Jueluo, to be sent back to her natal family, and Qi Gege was not spared either.

In the end, the emperor only got angry with Nian Gengyao's house, and Nian Xi escaped because of adoptive eldest house; after Qi Gege lived in the palace for a year, he was also released for a year.

When the Cao family was able to "receive three", they were already very close, which also fit Cao Yong and Nian Xi's status as brothers-in-law.

Mrs. Li nodded and said: "It's easy to add flowers to the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. It's just that the Nian family has experienced a big change, and I don't know if it is cheap to prepare for the old man's funeral. After all, it is a relative. If you can help, please help."

Cao Yong knew about the emperor's personal visit, but he was not worried about Nian Yaling's death.

Chu Yu saw the ice basin in the house, thought of something, and said, "It's better to say that the weather is getting hotter, so send someone to deliver a few trucks of ice first?"

Cao Yong had no objection, so Chuyu sent someone to pass on the two women, and ordered a few words to send them to the house to deliver ice in the past year.

Shocked by the funeral, Mrs. Li felt a little tired, so she sent her son and daughter-in-law away.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu, husband and wife, had time to go back to Wutong Garden to talk.

"The second brother and the fifth brother also sent someone back to add makeup to Niuniu. They only said that Niuniu is the master's sister and their sister. The second old lady was a little bit reluctant to look at those things. After being persuaded by the fourth brother and sister, she also prepared I'm going to add makeup to Niu Niu." Chu Yu said.

Cao Yong nodded and said: "Niu Niu also called them brother and sister-in-law for many years, so I got something from them, it's nothing."

Chu Yu felt a little regretful, and said, "It's a pity that the name is only a relative. Otherwise, Niu Niu will be named under the old lady's knee, and I can prepare a few more days of banquets, and Zhang Luo will be more beautiful..."
