Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1305
The old imperial physician Bai Qiyuan came to the same conclusion after the consultation in the Cao Mansion as the same as that of the Imperial Physician Chen, and did not increase or decrease the prescription prescribed by the Imperial Physician Chen. Made a food tonic prescription.

The sixteenth elder brother was sure that Cao Yong was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Tianyou to send Bai Taiyi out of the house.

Cao Yong woke up before the old doctor's consultation. Seeing the change in love between the sixteenth elder brother, he felt warm in his heart and put a smile on his face.

Elder Sixteen cast a glance at him, and said, "Smile, how can you still smile?! What a gentleman, you can still make yourself sick? I'm too tired to bother you."

Cao Yong propped up his body, sat on the kang, laughed twice, and said: "It's just a small problem, it's better than getting serious all of a sudden..."

Before Cao Yong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Brother Sixteen.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Elder Sixteen hurriedly spat a few mouthfuls of foam, and said, "What are you talking about? Children's words are free, children's words are free! Gods of all walks of life don't have to care about this kid!"

While muttering in his mouth, he clasped his hands together and bowed in all directions.

Seeing that his face was full of piety, Cao Yong couldn't help being taken aback.Since when did Brother Sixteen begin to believe in gods?
It seems that since that year when he paid homage to the monastery in Rehe, brother sixteen no longer contemptuous of Buddhism as in the past.

"Your face has flowers?" Seeing Cao Yong staring at him, Elder Sixteen asked with a frown.

"I didn't see the flowers, but I saw the beard." Cao Yong said with a smile.

Brother Sixteen saw that Cao Yong was still talking and laughing, his face was still sullen, but his brows and eyes had softened a lot.

Seeing that Cao Yong's lips were dry and pale, Elder Sixteen turned around and walked to the round table in front of the window, reaching out for a teacup.

This is the tea that Tianyou had sent to him just now, and he hasn't used it yet, he can feel the temperature of the water is no longer hot through the cup.

But his habit is to drink strong tea, but it is not suitable for patients.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yong was like this. Before Tianyou sent the man back, Elder Sixteen walked to the door by himself, and raised his voice through the curtain: "Come here, pour you a glass of warm water for the master!"

Cao Fang's family went to the small kitchen to look at Cao Yong's decoction, only Chunxia and Chunxue were in the outer room.

The two looked at each other when they heard Elder Sixteen's order, although hesitant, Chunxia still answered.

What hesitated was that Brother Sixteen was not the master of the Cao family, so he shouldn't have passed the master of the Cao family and directly ordered the servants of the Cao family; but the water was poured for his master, so of course he had to fetch it quickly.

There is a small kitchen in Wutongyuan, and hot water is always available.

After a while, Chunxia brought a small kettle into the back room.

According to Tianyou's arrangement just now, Chunxia was the one who brought tea in for Elder Sixteen.It's just that at that time, Elder Sixteen cared about Cao Yong's condition wholeheartedly, and didn't care about other things.

At this moment, seeing Chunxia lowering her eyebrows and pouring water from the pot, Elder Sixteen couldn't help being stunned.

Chunxia was stared at at a loss, suppressed her panic and shyness, brought the water cup to the bed, and said in a low voice, "Master..."

Cao Yong looked at Elder Sixteen's eyes still sticking to Chunxia, ​​and couldn't help wondering.

While taking the water glass, he glanced at Chunxia quickly.

Although she is not very delicate and charming, she has a duck egg face and fair skin, making her a pretty lady.

Cao Yong lowered his head, drank half a glass of water, handed the glass back to Chunxia, ​​and waved her off.

It wasn't until Chunxia picked up the curtain to go out that Elder Sixteen looked away with a sense of loss on his face.

Cao Yong became more and more puzzled, could it be that the sixteenth elder brother committed the problem of "the widow has a disease" again?But in addition to the sixteen Fujin who are compatible with his husband and wife, the palace also has several side Fujin, Shu Fujin, Gege, concubine, Tongfang and many others with low status.
Maybe it's because of the filial piety period, there are so many people in the palace, and since they have been abstinent, they have become so hungry?
But in the bottom of my heart, Cao Yong didn't believe this speculation.

Brother Sixteen is no longer a teenager, how could he still be dominated by desire?
At this time, Elder Sixteen sighed and said: "This girl's profile with low eyebrows is very similar to Hongpu's mother-in-law!"

Cao Yong blinked, and the image of Li Fangfujin appeared in his mind.

Time has passed for too long, and Cao Yong has seen Li Shi only a limited number of times, and his impression has been somewhat blurred, not to mention the silhouette.

However, although Li Fangfujin and Chunxia are the prince Fangfujin and the other a maidservant, they still have some similarities, not referring to the facial features, but the impression that they are both docile and honest.

Brother Sixteen sat frowning, sipping his tea without taking a sip, with an expression on his face that didn't look reminiscent, but rather worried.

Seeing this, Cao Yong's heart sank, and he said, "Master Sixteen is worried about Brother Hongpu?"

Elder Sixteen nodded and said: "In a few years, Hongpu will be at the age of weak crown, and he will take part in the examination of the clan mansion. He is from the concubine, no matter how good the examination results are, he is only a second-class town The general of the country is ten or so away from Xiaoqi... Anyway, he is the eldest son of the master. His mother was too vicious in the early years. It is already rare for Fujin not to vent his anger on their brothers. How can we hope for it? Can Fujin treat the two brothers differently? They can rely on their master now, but when the master gets old, most of the Wangfu will not be able to rely on them, they have to rely on themselves..."

After hearing this, Cao Yong shook his head and said: "Stop the sixteenth master, stop thinking about it as soon as possible! You are the emperor's heavy arm, maybe there will be another grace at that time, why bother with mediocrity? Don't look at others, but look at the house of the thirteenth master superior!"

What the Thirteenth Lord's mansion can see is the concubine's eldest son, Hongchang Feng Baylor?

Or are the older sons of the Thirteenth Lord all idle and never involved in military affairs?
Brother Sixteen looked at Cao Yong, hesitantly said: "I really can't try?"

Cao Yong shook his head without hesitation, and said firmly, "Unless the sixteenth master is tired of his comfortable life and wants to make himself unhappy!"

Speaking of this point, there is still something that Brother Sixteen doesn't understand.

It is nothing more than that he is a real powerful prince, if his eldest son enters the Eight Banners Army and earns qualifications, he is afraid that the emperor will be jealous and disgusted.At that time, not to mention Hongpu's meritorious service and conferment of a knighthood, even himself, as an old man, will also fall out of favor.

But if he misses the opportunity to fight in the Northwest, Hongpu may really start his residence with the title of General Zhen Guo in two years...

Cao Yong was already weak, and after sitting for a while, he became pale.

Brother Sixteen saw this, patted his forehead hard and said: "Look, you are not confused, you are so sick, not to mention telling you to rest assured to recover from illness, but also nagging about these things that are useful and useless, so you have to worry about it." , Master has gone back, so you can take a break, and there is no need to worry about the yamen. If you haven't recuperated in ten days, you can rest for another ten days."

At this moment, Tianyou sent away Doctor Bai and turned back from the front yard.

Cao Yong's medicine is also good, Cao Fang's family asked Chunxia to bring it in.

Brother Sixteen couldn't help looking at Chunxia again, Tianyou took the medicine bowl from the tray in Chunxia's hand and sent it to Cao Yong.

The strong smell of herbal medicine came to the nostrils, Cao Yong endured the discomfort, and drank the medicine juice in one gulp.

He already had a plan in mind, and when he recovered from his illness, he would contact a few missionaries in Beijing to see if he could get some good medicine to store at home.

There is also Wu Sheng in Guangzhou, who has better information than Jingli, so he should also be allowed to get some foreign medicine.

Brother Sixteen waited for Cao Yong to take the medicine, then got up and left.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yong ordered Tianyou to send sixteen princes out of the house on his behalf.

Seeing this, sixteenth elder brother stared and said: "Is the master a guest, so long-winded? It's not that the master has never been to your house, why send it back and forth? God bless, listen to the master, so I can take care of you, master..." Speaking of this, after listening to it, his eyes flickered, he pointed to the direction where Chunxia was, and said: "Just ask this girl to take Master to the front yard."

Although Brother Sixteen is a close relative of the Cao family and a friend of his father, he still has to observe the etiquette, especially whether it is Cao Yong or Tianyou, they are all juniors of Brother Sixteen.

Therefore, Tianyou wanted to speak to send him off in person, but he saw Cao Yong shaking his head gently behind the sixteenth elder brother.

Although Elder Sixteen pointed at Chunxia, ​​Chunxia followed the rules and did not answer directly, but looked at Cao Yong.

Seeing Cao Yong nodding, Chunxia honestly picked up the curtain, and meekly led Elder Sixteen out.

Tianyou didn't send it to the front yard, but he also sent it to the gate of Wutong Garden.

Seeing the backs of the two people drifting away, as well as the faint laughter of Elder Sixteen in the wind, Tianyou always felt that something was wrong,
When he returned to the upper room, Cao Yong had already laid down with his eyes closed.

Although Tianyou was full of doubts, he didn't want to disturb his father's rest, so he approached and tucked his father's quilt, and then quietly retreated to the outside room.

After thinking about it, it was a waste of time to endure it like this, so he went out and ordered the little maid to fetch two books from the sunflower courtyard.

He was reading in the east room, thinking about when Hang Seng would arrive at Changping Zhuangzi.

Even if it is a fast horse, after all, the distance is constant. I guess it would be good to reach Zhuangzi at this time.

Tianyou looked out the window, it was already dusk.

For the elders in Changping, it is too late to turn back today, and they have to wait until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and they can return home at noon tomorrow.

Tianyou felt very guilty. If he had been more careful, he would have discovered that his father was not feeling well, and he could have sent a letter to Zhuangzi earlier, so that the elders would not come back overnight...

Just as Tianyou guessed, Li Shi and Chu Yu left Changping Zhuangzi early the next morning to return to the city.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go back, of course it is not easy for Concubine Mi to live anymore.

She was also thinking about Cao Yong in her heart, and wanted to go back to Cao's mansion with Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to visit, but she thought that her status was limited, and many people would be alarmed when sitting or lying down. Cao's family was busy thinking about it now.How can I alarm them to entertain.

Thinking in this way, Concubine Mi bid farewell to Mrs. Li after entering the city, and went directly back to Baylor Mansion.

With the return of Mrs. Li and Chuyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the news of Cao Yong's illness and recuperation also spread.

With the news that Cao Yong, the minister of the Ministry of household, was recuperating due to illness, there was another news that was even more exciting, that is, the minister of the Ministry of war was old, and the governor of Shanxi, Yi Duli, was transferred back to Beijing to be the minister of the Ministry of war...
