Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1265: Vertical and Horizontal

"Aunt Twelve, you also know that your grandniece is still young, and it's too early to say anything about marriage..." Chu Yu said lightly.

Although the person in front of her is an elder, it is related to her daughter's life-long affairs, and she will never allow others to intervene.

Fucha didn't expect Chuyu, who was always good-tempered, to drop her face in this way, with a embarrassed expression, and said, "My grandniece is already at the age of cardamom, how can she be so young? I know you don't want to part with it, but whose girl can stay forever. I'm not boasting, although the family is rich, our Fucha family can live a decent life, and my cousin is an imperial servant, so he has no character or appearance." At the end of the speech, there was some color in his words.

She did have the confidence to say that, the Fucha family currently has a bachelor, and a prince and concubine who is about to marry into the court.

The identities of the four princes are different. If there is no accident, the concubine of the four princes will be the future queen.

The Fucha family was originally a noble family of the Eight Banners, and later became relatives of the emperor, and the scenery was even more unstoppable.

When Chu Yu heard this, she felt even more annoyed in her heart, and said with a pale face, "Aunt Twelfth loves me so much, and my niece is very grateful, but my son-in-law already has something to say, and the children have to be educated for a few more years, and they will marry later. So my niece said it was too early to mention this."

Mrs. Fucha said angrily, seeing that Chuyu did not let go at all, she was upset, but she didn't attack it either.

Cao Yong had already sent someone to send a message to the inner house. When Fucha heard that her husband was one step ahead, she was so surprised that she couldn't sit still, got up and said goodbye.

Originally a "bad guest", Chu Yu naturally had no mood to keep customers.Regardless of etiquette restrictions, she was still sent outside the second gate, and she turned around after watching Fucha's sedan chair leave.

Back in Wutong Garden, she lost her usual calmness, and her face was covered with frost.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi's family asked cautiously: "Ma'am, is there something wrong with the nephew that Mrs. Zhen Guogong mentioned?"

A family of daughters, hundreds of families seek.

Logically speaking, even if relatives and elders come up to propose marriage, even if they don't want it in their hearts, it's just a polite refusal. Why are you so angry?

Unless the man has any shortcomings, that is contempt and offense to the woman.

Zhang Yijia's heart suddenly softened when he thought of his little Gege.

He is obviously excellent in everything, but because of his eye disease when he was a child, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just that he is deficient.Although some people mentioned the matter of getting married in the past two years, most of them came for the power of the Cao family, and there was really no suitable candidate.

Chu Yu snorted coldly, and said: "If there is something unbearable, she will not make up for the lack of guards and work in front of the imperial court. Since she dares to boast that she is like a flower, she looks pretty good."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi's family was a little confused, since the other party was not bad, why did his master dislike this marriage so much.

Speaking of which, the Cao family has limited roots, and the Fucha family is the real Eight Banners family.

In addition, the man is the brother of the fourth concubine and the future uncle of the country. This marriage does not feel wronged to my little princess.

Just because my little Gege is the granddaughter of the Wangfu, or else it is just a daughter of the Cao family, and it is considered a high ranking to marry to the Fucha family.

"If they were just for the sake of getting married, I wouldn't say anything. But they hide their shady intentions, how can I allow them to plot against the Cao family?" Chu Yu said with a bit of anger: "This is not getting married, this is It's a pretense of getting married at a discount, and they want to pull us on the boat of their Fucha family. What kind of thing is it to show the family's genealogy before the queen is born?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Yi's family suddenly realized: "So, they want to get married here in order to win Grandma Wugu?"

Although Cao Wu'er was in Elder Brother's house, even though he had nothing to do with him, he was not considered favored by the Fourth Prince, but because of his restraint, he won the favor of the Empress and Concubine Xi.

Chu Yu shook her head and said: "It's fine if it's just to win over. If you want to ask for Tianhui, it doesn't mean that you want to restrain this side. Although Wu'er is only a concubine at present, but he spends a long time by the fourth prince's side, brothers and sisters are now... Being in a high position, as long as you give birth to a boy and a half girl, it is not difficult to raise a side Fujin. The Fucha family must have seen this, so they planned ahead, thinking of getting married..."

Front yard, living room.

The sixteenth master did not stay long, and returned to the palace after begging Cao Yong.

For the eldest son of the concubine whom he had loved for many years, Elder Sixteen had complicated feelings.On the one hand, she wants to treat him well, on the other hand, she doesn't blame him for being intimidated by Tai Fujin for not being close to his aunt.

In the early days, he only hoped that his son would get the crown as soon as possible, so that he could ask the emperor for the crown.

The eldest son of the thirteenth master, the emperor conferred the title of Baylor; if he had the cheek to beg the emperor, Hong Pu's title would not be low.

After all, his legitimate son was young, and he had raised Hong Pu as his heir in the early years. Everyone knew that Hong Pu was once his top son.

Unexpectedly, Hong Pu got mixed up with Hong Xi and even registered in front of the imperial court, which made him very worried.

If the emperor really dislikes him, when the time comes to invite him to be named, let alone the son of Baylor, even if he wants to invite him to be named Duke, it may not be smooth.

He returned to the palace, went directly to the study, and asked someone to send Chuan Hongpu over.

On Hong Pu's face, there is no longer a young man's publicity and complacency.His face, which was not plump at first, has become much thinner, his face is a little pale, and he looks not energetic; his eyes are a little red and bloodshot, and his eye circles are black, showing a little tiredness.

Brother Sixteen couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and shouted, "What the hell is this? Did you go out to drink again yesterday?"

"Ama..." Hong Pu lowered his hands, not daring to look directly into Master Sixteen's eyes, and said in a low voice: "There is a dinner, I ate a few more cups..."

Hearing the words, Lord Sixteen gritted his teeth and said, "Dinner? King Li is the host?"

Hong Pu was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand why his father cared about the younger generation's association.After Master Sixteen glared at him, he replied in a low voice, "It's King Lijun's treat. Just in time for the distribution of money and food for the second half of the year yesterday, everyone started booing and eating the rich. King Lijun has always been generous, and there are brothers from other palaces. The son couldn't refuse, so he was dragged away."

Brothers of the clan, once they get together, how can it be as simple as eating and drinking?Still somehow absurd.

The Sixteenth Master was also young before, and knew the way of this place. He looked at his son with an unfriendly expression and said, "You just returned to the palace today?"

Hong Pu's eyes flickered, but he didn't dare to tell a lie, so he said bravely: "I was late for dinner yesterday, and I just came back this morning."

Master Sixteen looked at his timid son, he couldn't tell what he felt, and said coldly: "Since I stay outside overnight, I'm sure I'll be happy with you. Did you gamble or prostitute?"

His tone was not kind, Hong Pu immediately trembled, knelt down with a "plop" and said, "It's just that I was too greedy to drink too much, and I didn't dare to do anything else, to embarrass Ama."

Hearing the words, Master Sixteen relaxed his expression, nodded and said: "Just remember not to lose your old face. But you are too confused, what is Hongxi's identity, and you can't avoid it, how can you get involved? Today, the emperor I still got angry because of this, and even called your name. In order to prevent the emperor from rejecting you, this family law is inevitable."

Hong Pu's face turned pale, and he was terrified, but he could only thank Master Sixteen gratefully.

Seeing the gloom in his son's eyes, the twilight that didn't match his expression, Master Sixteen's heart also became heavy.

He suppressed his emotions, turned cold, raised his voice to call someone in, and dragged Hongpu down to beat the board.

There was such a commotion in the front yard that it was inevitable to disturb Shiliu Fujin.

Although because of his son, he was wary of Hong Pu, but Shiliu Fujin, as his aunt, couldn't ignore her.

By the time she reached the front yard, Hongpu had finished typing the board and was sent to the ancestral hall to copy scriptures.

Sixteen Fujin only saw the back of Hong Pu helping him away, and the bright red blood stains on the back of his clothes.

Sixteen Fujin was terrified, unable to gloat, so he went to the study with a little caution.

Master Shiliu sat behind the desk in a daze, Fujin Shiliu stood at the door for a long time, but he didn't notice.

It's been a long time since I saw my husband being in such a difficult situation, but it was because of the eldest son, Shiliu Fujin couldn't help but feel a little sore in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, coughed lightly, and said: "Master, it's so hot, why did you move?" The board? If there is something wrong, you have to be patient and say a few more words, the second elder brother is getting better these days, how can the body withstand this?"

Master Sixteen raised his head when he heard the words: "Seeing that Hongpu has lost weight again, I haven't seen such thinness in Kuxia in previous years, what does the imperial doctor say?"

Although these words were not intended to be accusatory, they still sounded a bit unpleasant to Shiliu Fujin's ears.

She didn't change her expression, and said: "Just say that the spleen and stomach are a little out of tune, and I have been using Sanqing soup."

Master Sixteen nodded and said nothing more, nor did he explain to his wife the reason for playing the Hongpu board.

Sixteen Fujin hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything to intercede.

After many years of husband and wife, she knew that her husband didn't like empty heads, and she also knew that he was not a hard-hearted person.

She sighed, and asked Master Sixteen to go back to the inner house to change.When she has free time, she has to arrange for people to deliver ice basins and wound medicines to the ancestral hall.

She knew that her husband was happy to see her treat the bastard well.

Especially after she gave birth to a concubine son, when her husband was alienating the eldest son, he also observed her all the time...

Cao's house, Wutong Court, Shangfang.

"Fu Cha's family, but Fu Heng?" Cao Yong couldn't help being surprised when he heard that Twelve Fujin had proposed marriage for his natal cousin.

This time it was Chu Yu's turn to be puzzled: "Fu Heng? How long? I heard that Aunt Twelve meant to propose marriage to Fu Qing, the third son of the Fucha family. Fu Qing is the de facto eldest son of Sanfang and the elder brother of the fourth concubine."

"Brother!" Cao Yong was a little disappointed when he heard this.

He thought that since it was the Fucha family who proposed marriage, the other party was Fu Heng, a famous uncle in history, but he forgot that that was the youngest brother of the Fucha family, even if he landed now, he would still be a child.

Seeing that her husband seemed to have a good impression of the Fucha family, Chu Yu couldn't help but frowned and said, "My lord, the Fucha family is a big family, and they are well-known and prosperous. The Fucha family has nine sons and two daughters."

At this time, the population is thriving, which often means that there are groups of wives and concubines behind them.

That's why Chu Yu didn't consider the marriage of the Fucha family. It's not easy being a daughter-in-law of a rich family, and it's even more difficult for the eldest daughter-in-law.She loves her daughter dearly, how could she be willing to let her suffer this hardship...
