Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1312 Meeting the Guest
Hearing Zuo Zhu's words, Tianyou couldn't help frowning.

Filial piety is beyond the sky, no matter what Zuo Cheng's mood is, the seniority of Mrs. Ning is there.In addition, compared with Zuo Zhu's brother's new house, although this house was moved here after the Ning family had an accident, in the eyes of the Ning family members, this is their own home.

In terms of filial piety, it is in line with human relations for Yongliang to return to his house, and Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng to move in to serve his grandmother.

Hang Seng was a few steps behind and was talking to Zuo Cheng: "Tomorrow is Xiaonian. It was originally agreed that I would go home for lunch on that day. Can you get away?"

The "home" in his mouth does not refer to the county prince's mansion, but Cao's mansion.

No matter it was him, Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng brothers, one was brought back by Cao Yong in his infancy, and the other two were born in Cao's house.

Zuo Cheng turned his head and looked at the gate of Ning Mansion not far away. The gate was pasted with white paper and white lanterns were hung on it.

For their brothers, the number of times they see Mrs. Ning can be counted with a slap, and they are no better than strangers.

But since Yongliang was adopted as heir, he was their "uncle" in name. As nephews, they had to serve their aunt for nine months.

According to the customs of the capital, people like Cao's family who are recuperating from illness are most taboo to collide with people in mourning.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu regard them as their own flesh and blood, and they will not argue with this fact, but Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng are juniors, but they have to avoid it for the sake of their elders Kangtai.

"It's a mess, and we can't do without people. If you take us to report to our stepfather and stepmother, it means that we won't go there first. We'll wait a few days and see if we can go there before or after New Year's Eve." Zuo Cheng thought for a while, Said.

Hang Seng nodded, carefully looked into Zuo Cheng's eyes, and said: "You are more delicate than the rest of us when you are small. The serious illness in Chunri hurt your vitality again, and attending funerals is the most difficult thing, so you can't get sick anymore."

Hearing this, Zuo Cheng couldn't help laughing, and said, "Could it be that the sun is coming out from the west, and our general has started to stick it carefully. I'm not a child, so I need people to worry about it."

Hang Seng raised his eyebrows, wanting to refute one or two.After all, Zuo Cheng is here at an adult age, and a boy his age is still under the care of his father and grandparents, living a comfortable and comfortable life.

There are several little brothers, but they each have their own responsibilities, and they came out early to work on errands to experience...

After leaving Ning's house, Tianyou and the Hang Seng brothers went back to Cao's mansion together.

When they were about to arrive at the Cao Mansion, they ran into the carriage of the new Minister of War, Yidu Lijia.

Yiduli and Cao Yong have known each other for many years, and the two families are considered good friends.Tianyou and Hang Seng took the reins and dismounted, and came forward to pay their respects.

Yi Duli raised the curtain and called the two brothers to get into the car.

Tianyou and Hang Seng looked at each other, knowing that Yi Duli was not riding a horse, but was riding a carriage.

He should have come out of the palace, because he was wearing a make-up suit.

Yi Duli was born in a prime minister's family, and his original temperament was bold and elegant, which made people willing to get close to him.After working as a governor for two years, his official prestige has gradually grown, his waist is straight, and he is very imposing.

Just as their brothers were secretly looking at Yiduli, Yiduli was also looking at the two brothers.

There are two brothers, one inherits his father's impression of gentleness and elegance, and the other has thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of vigor.

Yi Duli sighed in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If the eldest daughter was a descendant, she would have already shamed herself and married the Cao family.

Of the three boys in his family, except for Fu Seng'a who is the eldest son and has a relatively calm temper, the second and third children are more escaped.Every time he saw them mischievous, Yi Duli wanted to beat them with a big stick.

Now, although they are older, they still make troubles and annoy people.

Here, not far from Cao Mansion, several people exchanged a few words in the carriage, and arrived at Cao Mansion.

Tianyou sent the young man back to the mansion to report first, because after Yiduli entered Cao's mansion, someone had already sent a message to Tianyou, asking him to directly lead Yiduli to Wutongyuan's study to treat guests.

As Yi Duli presents Xiajingtang's status, even if Cao Yong is ill, he should drag his sick body to the front yard to circle around before he can be considered a fit.

The study room in the inner courtyard seems to treat guests contemptuously, but it also reveals intimacy.It's not that the whole family is good, you can't enter the inner courtyard; it's not that you are close friends and acquaintances, you can't enter the study.

There was a smile on Yi Duli's face, and the embarrassment in his heart disappeared.

Before entering Beijing, he really did not expect that the Minister of the Ministry of War that he was promoted to, the thirteen elder brother recommended, and the emperor favored Cao Yong.

Moreover, Cao Yong himself knew about it, and he had already begun to sort out the errands of the household department and was ready to take over the Ministry of punishment.

In this way, it is equivalent to occupying Cao Yong's position.

If it were someone else, Yi Duli would not bother to pay attention to it. After all, whoever is missing in the Ministry of War is the emperor's grace, and it is useless to be picky and complain as a courtier.Don't say that he got the title of Shangshu for nothing, even if he got it by walking around, it's his ability.

But for Cao Yong, Yi Duli not only did not gloat, but also felt a little guilty.

After all, he has benefited a lot from Cao Yong's help. He was in Taipu Temple in his early years, and then he was the governor of the place, and he also received Cao Yong's help and guidance.

Before entering Wutong Garden, I heard coughing in the yard.

Yi Duli's smile was concentrated, and his heart felt a little heavy. Thinking of the words of Brother Thirteen, Cao Yong missed this time due to illness.

Just now he heard from Tianyou and Hang Seng that Cao Yong had gradually recovered, he was relieved, but now he heard the cough and his heart sank again.

Entering the yard, I saw Cao Yong standing under the porch wearing a long hair cloak.

Seeing this, Yi Duli took a few steps hastily, and said, "Since you are sick, why are you still waiting outside?"

Cao Yong said with a smile: "Knowing that your lord is coming, it's already rude not to go out to greet you in the front yard. What's the point of stopping here?"

Yi Duli was worried about his health, so he didn't bother to greet him, so he entered the room with him first.

After entering the upper study room, the little maid served tea, and the two sat down as guests and hosts. Yi Duli began to look carefully at Cao Yong.

Although his face is somewhat clear, but his eyes are full of spirit, Cao Yong looks in good spirits.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted to the capital." Cao Yong's congratulations were sincere.

Governor of a province, it is certainly more comfortable to be a local emperor, but the Ministry of War is not a government office for the elderly, and Yi Duli is in his prime of life. If he has made some achievements in the Ministry of War, he can wait for the cabinet to pay homage to him.If he really waited until he served two terms in the governorship, and was old and weak before being promoted to an official in the capital, he would have to wait for his retirement.

Yi Duli naturally knew the benefits of this, and he couldn't suppress the pride and joy in his heart, but he thought that the shortcoming was due to Cao Yong's illness, so his smile became a little complicated, and he sighed, saying: "If it wasn't for Fu Ruo A serious illness will not be cheap for me. I can’t say if I am a good boy if I get cheap. Get well soon, even if you and I are different, how can the military department and the household department separate? There will be a big war in the future. There are many places where I rely on Furuo."

When Cao Yong heard the words, he said seriously: "My lord's words are wrong. The six government offices are important places in the country, and the six ministers are not iron rice bowls. They must belong to one or the other. The thirteenth master knew that I was careful and recommended me to join the military department. Because I am young, I am more energetic than those elders. The emperor is sympathetic to my weakness and overwhelmed, and choosing someone else is also a benevolent kindness. I am sincerely grateful to the emperor and the prince. I also secretly feel that the adult can be promoted to the military department I am secretly delighted. My lord also knows that the military department and the household department do not separate families, and if some unfamiliar lord really gets promoted, we will need to get along with each other in the future."

Although he knew that what Cao Yong said meant to comfort him, Yi Duli still felt that he was satisfied with it, and his eyebrows and eyes stretched.

Cao Yong spoke some words in one breath, always felt his throat was itchy, he hurriedly blocked his mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed again.

Seeing that his face was flushed from coughing, Yi Duli hurriedly stood up and approached him, and patted his back vigorously.

After patting a few times, Cao Yong finally stopped coughing, and Yi Duli withdrew his hand, worried: "Didn't you say that you will be cured? Why are you still coughing like this? What did the imperial doctor say?"

Cao Yong coughed until tears came out. While wiping away, he said: "There is no serious problem, the medicine has been stopped, and now I just need to eat some nourishing prescriptions to nourish the lungs."

He didn't go into details, but Yiduli heard that he was nourishing his lungs, and knew about his general illness.With such a disease, the most feared thing is the cold wind and cold air.

Needless to say, the culprit is none other than Yi Duli himself.

He only thought about his own peace of mind, and after meeting the thirteenth elder brother from the palace, he rushed to Cao's house, but he forgot that Cao Yong is not cheap to see a guest since he is sick.

Even though there was still a lot to say, Yi Duli was in no mood, and said a few more words with Cao Yong, then got up and said goodbye and left.

Seeing that he was full of entanglements, Cao Yong's throat was so itchy that it was very difficult to speak intermittently, so he had to let him go.

At this moment, Tianyou is talking with Chuyu in Westinghouse together with Hang Seng.

Hearing that the elders of the Ning family all came forward, and without exception, they all supported the proposal of Mrs. Ning's heir returning to the house, Chu Yu couldn't help frowning.

Tianyou said: "Madam, do you think there is something wrong?"

Chu Yu said: "Chengsi is not a child's play, and that Yongliang has been an heir in the past few years, except that he has been confused by his biological parents, and has no other bad deeds. Even if he has grown up and has a job now, he can return to Qinghan's family. It's better than being the head of the family here in the direct branch, guarding a rich family property? No one in the clan speaks for him, and where has he done anything that is not allowed by nature? In this way, he is willing to help It’s because of Mrs. Ning. But she was originally a successor, and her husband died and her son died, so everyone has nothing to gain from her, and the rest is the good popularity of the old lady.”

Tianyou nodded and said: "It seems that she is a gentle and loving elder. I heard that the old lady had some temper when she was young, but after the family change, she started to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, and her temper became soft. good."

Speaking of this, Tianyou felt enlightened, and finally understood the reason why Zuo Cheng didn't want to move back.

Old Madam Ning has such a reputation, and she is also a grandmother. In the future, when grandparents and grandchildren get along with each other, whenever there is any friction, the tribe will think it is the problem of Zuozhu brothers...
