Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1299 Proud
The sixteenth elder brother and Cao Yong stayed in the new house of Cao's mansion for more than an hour. During the period, he remembered the smell of roasted sweet potatoes on the road, and sent his long follower out to buy a few pieces of roasted sweet potatoes.

Afterwards, the sixteenth elder brother took Cao Yong, and the two guarded a charcoal basin, eating hot roasted sweet potatoes.

It's getting colder, so it's interesting to eat by guarding the charcoal basin.

Cao Yong thought of going to Hot Spring Zhuangzi in a few days, and a smile appeared on his face.

It has been snowing the past few days, and the temperature in the mountains is low, so there must be snow.

He recalled how he took his children to catch sparrows and quail in his early years. In addition, Changping Zhuangzi had a greenhouse with a full range of melons, fruits and vegetables.Although these days, I have sent it to the city several times, but it is still not as fresh as the one just picked.

Brother Sixteen saw Cao Yong smiling comfortably, raised his eyebrows and said, "What beautiful things do you want?"

Cao Yong smiled and said that after a few days, he would go to the hot spring village with his mother, but he remembered that he forgot to mention the invitation to the sixteenth elder brother to invite the concubine Mi to go with him, and said: "By the way, my old lady misses the concubine and wants to Invite the concubine to go out of the city to relax, and go to the Baylor mansion to invite the concubine in person today."

"Ah?" Brother Sixteen was surprised when he heard this.

He looked at Cao Yong like joy and resentment, finally snorted, said: "You will enjoy the blessings, I don't believe that the household department is so busy, you can leave for a few days."

Cao Yong pinched his fingers and counted with a smile: "One day off, one day off, one day late, I can stay in the hot spring Zhuangzi for two nights. Although the time is not long, but this day is the most comfortable hot spring. "

Brother Sixteen stared enviously, but he could only grit his teeth.

He is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs and the Clan House, both of which are the busiest at the end of the year.He is different from Cao Yong. Cao Yong, the hall official of the household department, takes turns in a small court meeting for a few days, but the sixteenth elder brother needs to go to the imperial court every day as a servant.

"My Lord also has a hot spring village in Changping..." Elder Sixteen said angrily as if looking at Cao Yong.

When mentioning the hot spring village in Changping, he couldn't help but think of Hongpu's mother-in-law Li.

Back then, he was very naive, he felt sorry for Li Shi, and was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable when he got married, so he made a special trip to send her to live outside the palace.His eldest son was born in the early August of Kangxi's 51st year, and he was a month older than Cao Yong's eldest son Tianyou.

If the eldest son is still there, he is already a 16-year-old boy, and he can hand over the housework by himself, so why worry about inside and outside like he is now.

Although it is extremely difficult to have a son-in-law now, but the son-in-law is only a few years old, and it will take more than ten years to grow up.

The second son and the third son were born in 54 years of Kangxi and 56 years of Kangxi. If they are still there, they are all young boys.

Thinking of these, he only felt a tingle in his heart.

He is not a ruthless person, until the final disposal of Mrs. Li, he still more or less excused him in his heart.

It wasn't until he took over the clan's mansion and saw and learned more about the privacy of the prince's mansions, that he fully understood that there was no misunderstanding before, and he erased Li's family in his heart, and only admired his own Fujin.

If Fujin had a more vicious temper and used his brains, Hongpu and Hongming brothers would not grow up smoothly.

But while admiring him, he also complained in his heart.

But Fan Fujin is also capable, and he won't lose three sons in a row.

Thinking of this, Elder Sixteen's expression seemed to be reminiscing and remorseful.

When Cao Yong saw this, he was surprised, but he didn't interrupt Sixteenth Brother's meditation.

After quite a while, Elder Sixteen came back to his senses and sighed heavily.

It's useless to talk about the past, let's look at the future.

He raised his head and said: "The concubine doesn't like beef and mutton, but fish and shrimp. She doesn't eat old yellow rice, but she likes rice cakes. Say hello to Da Gege and ask her to help take care of her."

Cao Yong said with a smile: "You don't need to be ordered by the Sixteenth Master. My old lady is also like this. There is a cook from the south at home, and I can't leave it anywhere."

Elder Sixteen nodded and said: "That's good. After all, people who are old are somewhat picky. If the appetite is good, then the mood and health will also be good. It just so happened that Suzhou Xingong brought some side dishes to Beijing. There is also a rule, tomorrow I will send you two jars, you can add food to the old lady."

Cao Yong agreed, and picked out a piece of hot roasted sweet potato that was uniform in size, picked it up and handed it to Brother Sixteen.

Brother Sixteen took it and ate it in two mouthfuls, but it was also delicious.

Both of them are not idlers, they hid for more than a hour to be free, and after eating the sweet potatoes, they came out of the house and went back to each other...

Mrs. Li has already returned home, and told Chu Yu about Concubine Mi's acceptance of the invitation.

There is a concubine traveling with the servants of the Baylor Mansion, how to arrange for Zhuangzi and how to give rewards, Chu Yu has to make careful arrangements on Chu Yu's side, so as not to make mistakes and throw embarrassment to the Baylor Mansion.

In addition, Chuyu sent someone to invite Chunhua to Dongfu and invite her to go to the hot spring village, but Chunhua was worried about her husband and declined the kindness of her cousin's sister-in-law.

But she made a request, begging Chuyu to help with the negotiation.

That is in February next year, let her and her husband send Mrs. Li back to Jiangning to visit relatives.

"Our old lady is in Jiangning. As a daughter-in-law, I should pay her respects in the past. Not to mention these big reasons, there are also some small selfishness of mine. Last time I followed the fourth master to the post, and I have seen some worldly things. Now the children gradually Daddy, take this opportunity to take them out for a walk, rather than staying in Beijing all the time. The opportunity is rare, and I borrowed my aunt's help to talk about it." Chunhua said softly: "It's just when the children are mischievous. Well, sister-in-law, don't think it's good to let my aunt be clean.

She and Chuyu are family relatives, they are honest and amiable, and the relationship between sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law is very good.

She opened her mouth and did it with little effort, Chu Yu nodded naturally, and said, "Go if you want, I told fourth uncle. It should be our husband and wife's responsibility to send the old lady south, but it troubled fourth uncle and you. Nephew and niece Bingxue It's so cute, it's really nice to be with the old lady and relieve her loneliness..."

The two sisters-in-law discussed it affectionately, but they were not satisfied with each other.

After Chunhua left and Chuyu returned to the Orchid Court, she heard Mrs. Li mention Xiangyu.

"I've been thinking about it for a while. Before the old lady passed away, it wasn't the Li family that worried me the most, but the Xiangyu girl who was brought up by herself. If she can really marry into the Zhuhou's mansion, even if she can't enjoy great wealth, her life will be wrong. No. Mrs. Zhu Hou has a good temper, and she married in to be the youngest daughter-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law above is from a scholarly family, and she is not delicate, so it is not difficult to get along with mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law." Li Shi said.

Chu Yu knew that Mrs. Zhu Hou asked her to be a matchmaker, but she never thought that her mother-in-law would think of Li Xiangyu.

No matter whether Zhuhou's mansion is in an embarrassing situation, the status of Chaopinhou's mansion is there, and Xiangyu's background is indeed lower.

But Xiangyu came to Cao's house when she was babbling, and lived in Cao's house for several years when she came to Beijing for the second time. Even though Chuyu watched her grow up, she also showed a little love.

Chu Yu hesitated and said: "The Hou's mansion is noble and the population is small. It is indeed a good marriage. But the concubine has brought Xiangyu with her in the past few years, so maybe she has her own plans. Even if the concubine does not have that row, the uncle and grandpa Where is the old lady?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help thinking.

Speaking of it, Li Xu and Wang are Xiangyu's biological grandparents, the concubine is Xiangyu's cousin and grandmother, and she is only Xiangyu's clan aunt.

I worry about Xiangyu, so the two don't care about my granddaughter and niece?
In my heart, I only thought of Gao Taijun's affection, and thought of Fu Xiangyu, but those two were Xiangyu's blood relatives.

"It was my negligence. Fortunately, I didn't directly mention it to the concubine today. Otherwise, it would be like picking on the concubine and not thinking carefully. Wait a few days and ask the concubine's plan first. If there are no other arrangements." Li nodded and said. : "Your tutor in Zhuhou's mansion is good, if you don't think too much, it's really a good marriage."

Chu Yu listened with a smile and didn't say anything to dampen the fun.

Why don't you think too much?
The old lady's children and grandchildren are doing well, the family members of the Cao family are prosperous, and Li's life is going well, so I don't think too much carefully.

The Li family was in decline, the old man was a prisoner, his son's official career was ruined, and only a few grandchildren worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were all of low rank.

Although Xiangyu is a concubine, she has been raised by the concubine for several years, and her status has been improved.

Marriage with Marquis Zhu will not benefit the Li family at all; if the Ministry of Internal Affairs finds a decent family, it will help the Li family to some extent.

The old lady was kind, she only wanted to save Xiangyu from suffering, but she forgot that marriage is a matter of two surnames.

Even if the old lady spoke, the concubine might not object, but the Li family might not be happy...

The Sun family, the main house in the front yard.

An Shi was wearing a brand-new flag dress with several velvet flowers on the head of the flag, which looked very festive.

She was sitting on the kang with a proud face, while drinking hot tea, she was talking to Cao Ying and Mrs. Dong about the majesty of the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Dong Shi just listened quietly, but Cao Ying lowered her head and secretly slandered.

Mrs An was called into the palace today to pay respects to Mrs Chen, the nobleman of the imperial examination, it was rare to go out for this trip, and she showed off with her daughter-in-law for a long time when she came back.

But he didn't want to think about it, the Compassionate Ning Palace is decent, so what's the matter with Chen Guiren?Chen Guiren just lived with a few concubines in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and with her status, she might have to live in the side hall and the side room.

It was rare for the Sun family to have such royal relatives, from the An family to the Sun Jue and Sun Ban brothers, they all wanted to talk about the nobleman.

However, Sun Wencheng was dismissed from office, and the Sun family moved north. The only way Chen Guiren could help was to ask someone to arrange Miss Sun San, who had been selected into the palace, as an errand by her side.

For the rest of the Sun family, Chen Guiren did not treat them differently, nor did he bother to praise them.

An's and Sun Ban still did not give up, they only felt that Chen Guiren's status was limited and he was powerless, and they both thought happily that they would just wait for Brother 21 to open the house.

All the sons of the holy grandfather are still beizi.

When elder brother 21 opens the house, the Sun family will be elder brother 21's family, so he will have support.

But I don't want to think about it. After all, Chen Guiren's surname is Chen, not Sun. Brother 21 has never met the Sun family. How can he regard the Sun family as the head of the mother clan?
Even when Sun Wencheng, the patriarch of the Sun family, came to elder brother 21, only those who called themselves slaves would lose their heads if they displayed the genealogy of the elders of the mother clan.

Mrs. An was still talking triumphantly about what kind of snacks she ate in the palace, what kind of tea she used, what gifts the nobleman gave her, how decent the third girl was, and so on.

Mrs. Dong came from a family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, under the influence of her ears and eyes, she sees things more clearly than Cao Ying.

No matter how proud the An family is, the Dong family is more wary. The Sun family has been in Beijing for five years, and it is the first time that Chen Guiren called people into the palace, and it will never be just to reminisce...
