Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1266 Follow-up
Seeing that his wife was annoyed, Cao Yong hurriedly said: "But just ask casually, who cares about such a family?"

Seeing that Cao Yong has no intention of marrying Fu Cha's family, Chu Yu feels relieved.

It's a pity for Cao Yong, why is it not Fu Heng, Kang Yongqian and the three dynasties, there are few courtiers like Fu Heng who started well and ended well.The two sons, Shangzhu and one Feng Beizi, were distinguished during their lifetime and honored after their death.

However, it's better not to propose marriage to Fu Heng.According to the legend, Fu Heng's wife was Qianlong's concubine, what is this mess...

However, after all, he left an impression on Fu Qing, Cao Yong asked Tianyou to pay attention to the children of Fucha's family who were working in the palace.

The Fucha family has been prominent since the beginning of Kangxi, and has not declined for 50 years.

Don't talk about other places, just talk about the guard's office, there are three children of the Fucha family.

However, except for Fu Qing who is Ma Qi's nephew and nephew, the other two are grandchildren of Fu Cha's family.

It can be seen that the Fucha family has a prosperous population.The rare thing is that the Fucha family has strict family education, and the children are not domineering, and because the family has a bachelor, the writing style is quite strong. It can't be said that they are both literary and military, and they are much better than other Eight Banners children.

Cao Yong heart, not without regret.

According to the world's situation, Li Rongbao's one wife and four concubines are really nothing, and giving birth to eleven children in one breath is also a symbol of blessing.

If the family style is really bad, if there is a concubine who destroys his wife or a concubine regardless of what, the daughter of his family will not be selected as the prince's concubine.

As for the prince's choice of concubine, it has been a major concern of the government and the public in recent years.

Several concubines in the harem also reported that their nieces from their natal families came to the palace to greet them.The Ulanara clan where the queen belongs, and the Niu Gulu clan where the concubine Xi lives are both big families of the Eight Banners, and it is not uncommon for another queen to be born.

In the end, it finally fell to the Fucha family. There is the emperor's respect for Ma Qi, and there is also the recognition of the descendants of the Fucha family.

However, the stricter their family style and the more prosperous their population, the harder it is for their daughter-in-law to be.

Since Tianyou was ordered to keep an eye on the children of the Fucha family, he also knew about the Fucha family's desire to marry into the family.As an elder brother who loves his younger sister, he has the same opinion as his parents about the populous Fucha family, and he is not optimistic about this marriage.

Ordered to pay attention to the young people in the palace, Cao Yong had to pay more attention to Li Rongbao.

The idea of ​​marriage between the Fucha family and the Cao family is definitely not the intention of Ma Qi, a tycoon in the officialdom.Otherwise, as the prime minister of a country, if he really wanted to make this marriage, he would directly mention it to Cao Yong, which would show respect and sincerity compared to the Twelve Masters and his wife.

As for whether Li Rongbao meant it, Cao Yong couldn't say. After all, Li Rongbao had been serving as the chief executive of Chahar for these years. In order to marry a daughter, he returned to Beijing with his family at the end of May, and he was not in Beijing before.

Although he knew that Fucha's family was a noble in the Qianlong Dynasty, Cao Yong would not give up his precious daughter to curry favor with him.

In a blink of an eye, it was July [-]th, and Hongli's wedding was approaching.

Hong Zhou followed Prince Zhuang and was busy in the House of Internal Affairs for several days, finally took a breather, and urged his elder brother to go out for a drink.

After all, there are many rules in the palace and everything is complicated, so it is better to be refreshing outside the palace.

The two princes were already on good terms with each other, and the companions and guards who were on duty were also familiar with each other, so everyone joined in and congratulated the prince on his wedding.

Hongli didn't want to refuse everyone's kindness, but he didn't like to talk about it, so he went to the palace of Yangxin Palace, and after getting the consent, he took his younger brother and several good guards and companions out of the palace.

Among them, Tianyou, Hang Seng, and Fucha Fuqing happened to be included.

After leaving the palace gate, everyone talked about the place to drink.

Whether it is Dongdan Archway or Gulou Street, there are many famous restaurants.But at this time, the weather was hot, and everyone didn't come out to eat and drink, but to find a cooler and cleaner place.

Hong Zhou suggested to go to several private restaurants by the seaside of Shicha, two of which are properties owned by the clan's children, and everyone is used to going there.

Hongli thought about it, but proposed to go to Hang Seng's palace.

In order to marry the princess next year, Hang Seng's palace has built a garden, and now it has been repaired in sevens and eighties.

Hongli once visited it once. There is running water in the garden, and there are water pavilions on the water, which is a good place to escape the summer heat.

In addition, there are no elders in his house, so it is more comfortable for everyone to go.

Hang Seng welcomes them naturally, and invites everyone to go to his palace.

Others didn't notice any difference, only Hong Zhou frowned secretly.

After entering the palace, when the two brothers walked side by side, Hongzhou couldn't help asking: "Is the fourth brother being too careful? But what's the point of going to a restaurant for a meal and no one else? How many people are related to our brothers, and there is no 'clique formation'?"

Hongli said in a low voice: "There are people coming and going over there, who might you meet? When we get together, how can we tell whether it is together or in two places? When it comes to King Khan's mansion, it is hard for someone to favor you Be a villain with a face."

Hong Zhou opened the fan, joked a bit, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, this is so hot. Even if you don't eat at the restaurant, you still have to go to the restaurant when you hear the news that the fourth brother is going there, hoping to have a chance Had a 'chance encounter' with the fourth brother."

Hongli gave him a sideways look: "You should be more disciplined when you leave the palace in the future, don't let people catch your pigtails. In this world, there are many people who can't see the good of others."

Hong Zhou nodded in agreement, but his eyes were still cynical.

He didn't want to learn this or that to be a virtuous king, so why can't he be free and follow his heart?

When they arrived at the water pavilion in the garden, everyone was seated.

Because it was a round table, except for the superior Hongli Hongzhou, the rest of the people sat in order according to their status.

Fu Qing is the brother of the imperial concubine, for Hongli's sake, he was invited to the second seat by everyone, and sat next to Hongli.

Hong Zhou lowered his head, and it was Hang Seng, the master, who accompanied him.

Tianyou is a relative of the emperor and Hang Seng's brother-in-law, so he sat at Fu Qing's lower seat.

The other princes and companions sat between Hang Seng and Tianyou.

When the cold dishes on the table came out, Hong Zhou turned his head and said to Hang Seng: "Let's forget about shark's fin and bird's nest. If it's a hot day, it's better to have more refreshing side dishes to go with the wine."

In the water pavilion, there are several ice basins, so why is it hot?
It's just because I'm afraid that Hang Seng will entertain everyone with the common swallow-wing mat, and I want to try something new.

Hang Seng responded with a smile, and ordered people to go down to get more food without mentioning it.

Hongli is next to his future uncle, but he is calm and at ease, gossiping.

Fu Qing didn't look brave like ordinary guards, but his speech was quite elegant.

Tianyou listened to the next song, and couldn't help but take a second look.

Since the younger sister can be selected as the prince's concubine, Fu Qing's appearance is naturally not bad, and she can be called extraordinary handsome.Just counting his age, he has already passed the weak crown, and it is a bit strange that he has not yet discussed marriage at this age.

When Hongli chatted with Fu Qing, he didn't want to neglect everyone. When he saw Tianyou looking over, he had to ask and answer a few words, with a warm and amiable attitude.

When the food and wine were served, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually heated up between pushing and changing glasses.

Hong Zhou was three-point drunk, and came over to gossip with Hang Seng: "You see, Fu Qing is very gentle, sitting with your elder brother, it looks like two brothers."

Although Hang Seng listened with a smile, he felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at Fu Qing, he just felt uncomfortable.

Sensing Hang Seng's attention, Fu Qing couldn't help but raise his wine glass and made a toast from afar.

Hang Seng raised his glass with a smile and drank all the wine in the glass before turning his head to continue listening to Hong Zhou's words.

Hong Zhou couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that Second Master Fu is serving in the army with Master Li Rongbao? How did he get into the guard?"

Although there are older guards in the guard office, most of them are proud of the young guards.There are many young people who have just come out of the official position in the bodyguard office. They are familiar with the imperial court and have a lot of experience. There are not many people at Fu Qing's age who just entered the bodyguard office.

Hong Zhou said in a low voice: "It's just for the sake of the fourth brother, Jiaen Fucha's family. As a bachelor and one of the prime ministers, Ma Qi not only has no way to get promoted, but also blocks Li Rongbao's way. Now, only the younger generation of the Fucha family can be engraved. Although the Fucha family has many heirs, there are only two legitimate sons, and the younger one is young, so Fu Qing can only return to Beijing to Chengen."

Having said that, Hong Zhou paused, glanced at Hang Seng, leaned into his ear and said, "It is said that the Fu Cha family is looking around and wants to marry Fu Qing... I heard that they fell in love with your Cao family." Big Gege... Baobuqi, everyone will be relatives in the future, so what do you say about this..."

Hang Seng shook his hands when he heard the words, and spilled a few drops of the wine in the glass. When he looked at Fu Qing, his eyes were already clouded.

Hong Zhou noticed that Hang Seng's expression was wrong, and motioned for him to get up, and the two came out from the water pavilion.

Far away from the water pavilion, Hong Zhou rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Look at your angry look, how come the Fucha family's talk of marriage with the Cao family is groundless?"

Hang Seng frowned and said, "It's not groundless. The Twelve Fortunes did come to the door and mentioned this matter to the master and wife of the mansion over there. It's just that our master and wife love the eldest sister and want to stay for two more years before discussing marriage, so we politely declined the marriage. Unexpectedly, gossip still came out, and the Fucha family said that they were looking around, which is a bit too exaggerated, and who will give them their turn to look at each other?"

Hongzhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "If you say this, you really misunderstood the Fucha family. Their family has a strict family style, and they are not arrogant. The news that your two families are going to talk about getting married came from Twelve Uncle's House. What was uploaded was not the propaganda of the Fucha family."

Hang Seng was still a little annoyed, and complained: "After all, I was dragged down by their family, and my eldest sister was so tired that people talked about it."

Hongzhou suppressed his smile and said, "If you say it this way, I really admire Cao Shangshu. If it were someone else, let alone wait for Fucha's family to come to the door, I'm afraid I would like to send my daughter there..."

The two were talking, when they heard footsteps, they saw that the two of them had been out for a long time and did not return to the table, so they sent someone to remind them...

Zhen Guogong Mansion, the main house in the inner courtyard.

The twelfth master was furious, pointing at Mrs. Fucha, speechless.

Mrs. Fu Cha sat on the edge of the kang, licked her temples, and said disapprovingly: "However, a few gossips among the family members, how can you be so careful? Even if you are demoted to the Duke, the Lord is also the emperor's brother, how can you tolerate it?" Others humiliate you?"

The Twelfth Lord stroked his chest and said, "It's a common thing to fail to propose a marriage. Why did you insult the Lord?"

Mrs. Fu Cha stood up, with red eyes and said: "My lord and I are still elders, and we went to propose marriage in person, but we have to look at the face of the younger generation. It's just that the lord's title has been lowered, and the two of them are as snobbish as others. They have done something wrong." Why should we care about their faces..."
