Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1274
After coming out of Prince Yi's mansion, Wang Quantai was not sad for Brother Thirteen's scolding, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He was also annoyed at his mother's eccentricity.But people's words are terrifying, as a son of man, how can he do whatever he wants?
But I couldn't stand it anymore.

I thought that I and my wife would avoid living in the old house, so that I could remind the old lady and let her settle down, but I didn't expect the old lady to make more money.

Doesn't she understand that what she can rely on is herself, a real person, not that big house.

He sent his two restless concubines to Zhuangzi, wanting to reduce disputes in the family, but the old lady was kind and abetted his two concubines.Now, when the two sons looked at him, there was no closeness, only fear.It is said that in private, there is also resentment towards the aunt.

Not being close to his biological father and aunt and mother, and hanging out with several cousins ​​all day long, these two sons might not be able to keep them.Even if they teach them a lesson and isolate their cousins, their hearts will be poisoned.

This home is about to fall apart.

He was originally from Shandong, and he also had a temper.The family affection for brothers, nephews and nephews was almost worn away as early as when they returned to their hometown to get married.

The reason why he has repeatedly tolerated the behavior of the old lady and his younger brother is also because he is in an official career and knows the dangers of the officialdom, so he dare not make any mistakes.

Just like the impeachment papers Thirteenth Brother showed him today, the censor is not going to verify who is right, as long as he knows that he disobeyed his mother, it is a crime of unfilial piety.

Enduring until now, finally waited until Brother Thirteen spoke.

Even if he uses thunderous means, even if the censor impeaches him again, he is no longer afraid.

No one cared whether he was really filial as a member of the palace, but countless people stared at the Thirteenth Prince's House.

The thirteenth elder brother's scolding just now did not avoid the servants of the palace.

He believed that even if the old lady came to the yamen to beat drums and accuse him of being unfilial, no one would believe her.

Because the thirteenth elder brother believed in him, because even the thirteenth elder brother couldn't bear to talk, it seemed that he, a "filial son", was incompetent and helpless.

No matter how much the old lady makes a fuss, it will be regarded as fatuous and rude.

Riding on the horse, he showed a bit of self-mockery on his face.

I am really despicable, to indulge the old lady's eccentricity like this, it is not without pretending to be pitiful; to indulge my brother to occupy the magpie's nest, and to talk nonsense, I also have the idea of ​​being unfeeling and dying.

The calculations learned in the officialdom are applied to the blood relatives.

When they thought they were going to be merchants for life, the disdain and contempt in the eyes of the younger brother and sister-in-law were undisguised; when they knew their wife's background, their mean faces were even more obvious.

That scene was so vividly imprinted in his mind that Wang Quantai never forgot it for a moment.

Why, they are sure that after they are ruthless and unjust, after they despise and despise them, they should not hold grudges, and should treat them well without complaint?
Is it not easy for a mother to be a widow?But after his father died of illness, he was the one who joined the army early, supported the family, and supported his younger brother to study.For more than ten years, he sent home a thousand taels of silver, just because he thought it was his family.

What is available?Just to "buy pens and ink" for his nephews, he deserves to be poor, never get back a penny, and even have to borrow money to marry a wife?

His hard-working eldest son deservedly took the hundreds of taels of silver from the sale of his ancestral property, and took his wife to leave the hometown in desperation to make a living; while the younger brother who only knew how to study but never made a living, used the money earned by his elder brother to buy land with peace of mind. Shop, make slaves call maidservants.

Thinking of this, Wang Lusheng, who was over forty years old, lost his composure and still hated him.

That kind of resentment cannot be resolved.

It wasn't until the gate of Cao's mansion that Wang Quantai shook his head to calm down his emotions.

Stepping into the gate of Cao's mansion, he was also thinking about Cao Yong's intention to come over.

Also for impeachment?Or was it because the servants of the Dutong Mansion once uttered nonsense in the Zheng family?
He was a little guilty.

He knew his uncle's disposition, and would rather be a rich man than to be an official; but in May, his uncle begged Cao's mansion to make up the six-rank commissioned infantry academy, and entered Jiumendu Tong Yamen is on duty.

It's just that he is afraid that he has wronged his wife, and he wants to support his wife.

With his status as the commander of the second rank, a small sixth rank infantry military academy is really nothing.But this kindness to protect his siblings moved and envied him.

Cao Yong did not expect Wang Quantai to come so early, he thought that since Wang Quantai hurried to the palace, there must be something wrong.

In his heart, he complained to Wang Quantai.

The world values ​​relatives. In the eyes of outsiders, the friendship between Cao Yong and Wang Lusheng is not as good as the friendship between Wang Lusheng and Wang Quantai's uncle and nephew.

In fact, Wang Lusheng, a Qilu man nicknamed "Sai Mengchang", is not only kind to outsiders, but also kind to his relatives.

Although Wang Quantai is a cousin, Wang Lusheng always treats him as his own nephew.

After Wang Quantai gained power, not only did he not think about repaying, but instead allowed his brothers to bully Wang Lusheng's family, which is really suspected of "ungrateful".

Thinking about it again, Cao Yong's interest in Zheng Hu's filling of vacancies faded for a while, and he didn't bother to say what he wanted to persuade politely.

Wang Quantai noticed Cao Yong's indifference, and his heart was full of doubts.Although the number of times of contact is limited, Cao Yong has always been gentle and courteous to others, and rarely has the alienated look he has now.

Cao Yong was too lazy to go around in circles, and said bluntly: "I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I have not been free, and I have been wondering whether I should tell you. After hesitating for a long time, I still want to ask you one or two."

Although he said "please", it didn't sound like he was asking for help.

Wang Quantai's heart sank, and he said, "If Master Cao has something to say, just tell him."

Cao Yong looked at Wang Quantai and said indifferently: "Master Qi is getting older, and the two sons are young, which is really worrying. Mr. Wang has a bright future, if you can protect him, please protect him."

Wang Quantai was stunned when he heard this.

Seventh uncle and two sons are young, what do you say?

The little cousin is not too old, but the eldest cousin is already in his twenties, and they are all married and have children, so how can they still be young?

Seeing that Wang Lusheng just didn't answer in a daze, Cao Yong frowned and said: "If you are a noble cousin and nephew, then I will have a lot of trouble. I have been with Qi Ye for more than ten years, and I can't see each other. He was desolate in his old age and was bullied by others."

Wang Quantai reacted, and immediately changed his face, stood up, and said excitedly: "Someone bullied Uncle Seven? Who is so short-sighted, please tell Master Cao frankly!"

The second-rank deputy governor may not have so much weight in the capital, but in terms of locality, he is on the same level as the governor.Some people make things difficult for his cousin, how can we not make him angry?

Although people in the world pay attention to returning to their hometown after getting promoted and making a fortune, but because he has been on errands these years, he has not returned to his hometown, and he occasionally receives letters from Rizhao, and everything is peaceful.

Cao Yong raised his eyes and looked at Wang Quantai quietly, without opening his mouth to answer.

Wang Quantai was puzzled by Cao Yong's silence at first, then slowly opened his eyes wide, his face suddenly turned pale, and he opened his mouth after a while: "Wang Quanfeng offended Uncle Qi?"

Wang Quantai's expression didn't seem to be fake, obviously he didn't know about it, the disgust in Cao Yong's heart eased a bit, and he said: "I don't know whether to offend or not, I only heard that someone accused Qiye, the patriarch, of evil intentions and instigating others Brotherhood and brotherhood; and by virtue of his official status, he became the elder of the royal family, and sent out words to ask the old patriarch to step down, so as to fight for the next patriarch. Everyone in the royal family knows that Qiye offended the powerful, and many people avoid Qiye's family .”

After hearing this, Wang Quantai knew that what Cao Yong said was true without having to find someone to prove it.

Because he had heard similar things from his mother and younger brother, he thought it was just the younger brother trying to save face and find excuses for his past rudeness; while his mother was partial and accustomed, as long as what the younger brother said was right.

It seems that with this rhetoric, they can convince themselves to forget their unfeeling towards him and cling to him with peace of mind.

Wang Quantai despises his younger brother's shamelessness. As long as he sees his younger brother's face of "righteous speech", he will remember in his heart the sentence "Every time a righteous person slaughters more dogs, he will be a scholar in his heart".

Unexpectedly, this was not only an excuse for Wang Quanfeng to excuse himself, but also a cover for him to bully others.The one who bullied was the uncle who was kind to Wang Quantai.

Wang Quantai clenched his fist vigorously, the reprimand of Thirteenth Brother made him ashamed, and Cao Yong's words made him even more ashamed.

Wang Quantai's shoulders suddenly bent down, and the faint complacency in his heart after he came out of Prince Yi's mansion has long since disappeared.

His forbearance in the past few years not only betrayed his wife, but also betrayed his benefactor.

Now, even Cao Yong, who has a foreign surname, knows about the farce in his hometown, but he is still ignorant, which is really ungrateful.

How to get along with the Wang brothers, Cao Yong do not want to talk.

But if Wang Quanfeng used Wang Quantai's power to persecute Wang Lusheng, Cao Yong could not stand by.

Cao Yong had already planned it, as long as Wang Quantai was willing to take care of it; if Wang Quantai refused to take care of it, then for the sake of Wang Lusheng, he would knock down the Wang family's trust.

Cao Yong does not deny his selfishness, Wang Lusheng is his benefactor and his old friend.Ten Wang Quantai added up cannot equal one Wang Lusheng.

Even if Wang Quantai is a disciple of Brother Thirteen, he is not afraid.

It's been a long time since he plotted against anyone, but his brain hasn't rusted yet.Not only can the thirteenth elder brother choose Wang Quantai as his disciple, but he can also make the thirteenth elder brother get tired of Wang Quantai.

When Wang Quantai raised his head again, he showed determination: "Master Cao, don't worry, with Wang Quantai here for a day, Uncle Seven and his two cousins ​​will not be wronged."

Cao Yong squinted his eyes and said: "You have to think about it, this is not a matter of a day or two? Now it is your brother who treats Qi Ye and his son slowly, maybe it will be your son in the future?"

Wang Quantai straightened his chest, and said without hesitation: "How dare they? If there is such a son who disobeys the elders, I don't need Master Cao to speak, I will directly beat him to death with a board!"

Cao Yong's face also became solemn, and he said solemnly: "I don't need you to promise anything, as long as you remember, if you can't protect Qiye's family, then I will protect you. Cao seldom owes favors, but he has received a lot from Qiye. Enyi, I will never watch Qiye's family being wronged. This time, since I have you, I will stop talking; if there is a next time, Cao may not have the patience to discuss something with you."

When it came to the end, the voice was calm, but there was a chill in it, and Wang Quantai felt cold sweat all over his back.

Wang Quantai also said sternly: "I know, I dare not let Master Cao worry about family affairs..."
