Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1321
After Yiduli left, Cao Yong returned to Wutongyuan and mentioned to his wife about the three sons of the scholar's mansion.

Cao Yong just said it casually, but Chu Yu shook his head again and again: "No, the scholar's house is a noble of the Eight Banners, and their wife and wife are both from big families. Seeing the routine of concubines and houses, what do you think?" Many children and grandchildren. Not to mention other people, even He Shuo's son-in-law, a blessed monk, before marrying Er Gege, there were also a few people in the house, and they were not sent out until before the big wedding."

Cao Yong knew the bad habits of the aristocratic family, nodded his head and said: "Don't worry, I didn't answer Yi Duli's words. He just wanted to probe my tone. Seeing me like this, he should know what I mean."

Having said that, the husband and wife looked at each other, feeling heavy in their hearts.

Aristocratic families have complicated rules, and they are afraid of tiring their daughters; those who come from small families are worried that their character and education will not be thorough.

Even the side branches of the clan with a small population are not guaranteed.

Just like Saishitu back then, he was the only son and his widowed mother was sensible, but after two years of marriage, he still caused a lot of trouble.

Cao Yi became even more "virtuous", and took the initiative to provide two concubines for her husband, and devoted herself to raising her two sons.

"It would be great if Tianhui was his son..." Chu Yu said with a sigh.

If it is a son, even if the daughter-in-law is not virtuous, the best thing to do is let her "recover from illness";

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't worry too much. Even if you and I are not here one day, as long as God Bless and Hang Seng are promising and can support Tian Hui, Tian Hui will not be wronged. If God Bless and Hang Seng are not successful, then There are also her uncles and uncles. I don't believe that they can really stand by and watch."

Cao Yong is the eldest brother, Chu Yu is the eldest sister, and the younger uncles and brother-in-laws on both sides are mostly taken care of by their husband and wife.

There was a smile on Chu Yu's face, and he said: "If I care about it, it will cause chaos. I always worry that my daughter will be bullied if she gets married. What is there to be afraid of with the support of her mother's family? Even if one day, the master and I have been with each other for a hundred years, my grandson will also be my grandson." Marry a wife and have children. Tianhui is just an old lady in charge, so don't bother with this or that."

Although the husband and wife opened up to each other, they were worried after all.

Pity the parents of the world.

Just as their husband and wife are concerned about Tianhui's marriage, Li Shi is always worried about Cao Yong's body.

Rao is a boudoir woman, and she also knows that Zhang Yin Shangshu is decent, but there are many responsibilities that need to be borne.

The little bit of joy that her son was valued by the emperor was diluted by the loving mother's heart. Even the matter of going to Jiangning, Li Shi lost a lot of interest.

"Otherwise, should I go out?" Mrs. Li called her son and discussed with him: "Although the hometown is good, it is not as important as this big family. Even if the daughter-in-law is in charge of the house now, I can't help much. , but I still feel at ease looking at you."

Cao Yong smiled and said: "There is still half a lifetime to watch, and these months are not bad. In order to serve my mother, the fourth brother asked for leave early in the Hanlin Academy, and the fourth younger brother and sister also handled the family affairs properly. There is also Jiangning, The second brother is already preparing to get off the boat, and when the mother passes by, he will accompany the mother and the second aunt to swim in the river."

Mrs. Li wanted to say more, Cao Yong said: "Mother is not for herself, but for her son. When my grandmother passed away, my son kept the system of Qingliang Temple and was taken care of by several masters in the temple. At that time, the son thought that if one day his son had It’s cheap, so I repaired the Qingliang Temple and re-gilded the Buddha’s body. But I’ve been so busy all these years, how can I not care about this? This time my mother will go over and say my sins in front of the Buddha on my behalf, and pay back this vow for me.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but be concerned.

She knew about her son's study of Buddhist scriptures after the next year. Some of the scriptures were taken from the Small Buddha Hall of Lanyuan.

Thinking about her son's illness gradually clearing up and even recovering after studying Buddhist scriptures, Mrs. Li felt that it was the blessing of the Buddha.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li said angrily: "Is it a child's play to make a wish in front of the Buddha? Maybe the few times you have encountered unreasonable disasters these years are because of your slip of the tongue to the Buddha. Now it's all right, I finally found the reason. Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you..."

Cao Yong's mention of Qingliang Temple was not without reason.

But the wish was false, and he wanted to drag Qingliang Temple to make it true.

Because in Cao Song's letter, he mentioned that the governor of Liangjiang worshiped religion and suppressed Buddhism, and several eminent monks of Qingliang Temple had been enthroned one after another in the past few years, but there were no follow-ups, and Qingliang Temple gradually declined.

For other places, Cao Yong just listen to it as news.

Qingliang Temple is different.

Not to mention other things, Cao Yong's Kangxi Dynasty filial piety to Prince Yong's mansion for more than ten years with incense sticks, has troubled the masters of Qingliang Temple a lot.In addition, Zhiran grew up in Qingliang Temple, Qingliang Temple and Cao's family are really involved.

Li's mother is kind and devoted to her son Kangtai. She wanted to cancel the itinerary, but she couldn't wait and wanted to travel ahead of time.

But the weather was warm and cold, and no one was worried about her going out, so it was delayed until early February.

After the second day of February, Mrs. Li left Beijing, accompanied by Cao Xiang's family, Changsheng and Tianbao.

Originally Cao Yong and his wife meant that Tianbao was not allowed to accompany him.

Weary from the journey, Mrs. Li is getting old again, and Chunhua still has Sifang and several children to take care of.At the age of longevity, he can already take care of himself, but Tianbao is really younger.

But Tianbao heard that his cousins, cousins, and uncles all went out with his grandmother, leaving him alone, hugging Li's neck, crying so loudly that he almost died from crying.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her grandson, so she wanted to take her with her.

Cao Yong and his wife had no choice but to follow him.

So, in addition to the three adults, Mrs. Li and his party also added five children.

The husband and wife sent Mrs. Li and his party to Tongzhou Wharf. Seeing Tianbao happily boarding the boat with his grandmother, Cao Yong hated him so much.

He couldn't help complaining to his wife: "This bastard is so doted on by the old lady, how can we have the two of us in his eyes?"

It's bearable for children to be willful and obsessed, but it's annoying for older children.The three brothers and sisters Tianyou, Hang Seng, and Tianhui would not act coquettishly with adults like this even if they were stubborn when they were young.

Chu Yu frowned, but she was full of self-blame.

Six- and seven-year-old boys, even if they are mischievous, are mostly dependent on their parents, but their younger sons are obviously more dependent on their grandmothers and uncles than their parents.

It is not so much that the children are not close to them, but that the couple is partial.

Tianyou is the eldest son, and he wants to support the family. Cao Yong never forgets to bring him by his side, teaching by example.

Tianhui suffered a lot when she was young, and Cao Yong and his wife regarded her as their heart and soul, wishing to bear it for themselves. They were afraid of melting if they held it in their mouths, and afraid of being frightened when they held it in their hands.

Even Hang Seng, the husband and wife love each other very much.

Cao Yong felt sorry for his loneliness because he delivered the baby by hand; Chu Yu was originally because of the empathy of the eldest son after he went to Jiangning, and then the affection between mother and child.

Only the youngest son, Tianbao, wanted to be raised by Mrs. Li, so the husband and wife were relieved and rarely asked any questions.

Later, although Tianbao was moved back to Wutong Garden, it was finally moved back to Lanyuan.

Today, Tianbao is not dependent on his parents, so it is not surprising.

Of the two husband and wife, one decided to strictly discipline the youngest son after he came back, and the other made up his mind to make up for the previous shortcomings after the youngest son came back.

On the big ship not far away, Tianbao sat with Tianyu in front of the cabin window, not knowing about his parents' entanglement, looking at the distant river scene with a face full of novelty...

Fish and dragons are mixed together on the pier, it is really not a place to stay for a long time.

Watching the big boat that Li Shi and others were riding go away, Cao Yong helped Chuyu get into the carriage.

He himself brought a few people along on horseback.

In early spring and February, in the south of the Yangtze River, the grass grows and warblers fly. For the capital, only the willows are green, the winter jasmine is blooming, the grass is slightly outcropping, and the spring is light.

When I was in the city, I didn't think there was anything special about the scene of early spring, but it was only when I went to the suburbs that I discovered the beauty of it.

Cao Yong rode slowly all the way, viewing the scenery all the way, thinking about what happened to Xiaochao a few times ago.

For the first small dynasty after the year, Yongzheng reprimanded him for "procrastinating and slack in official duties", expressing his disappointment and asking him not to "below the holy will". Several officials of the Ministry of punishment.

The tone of the reprimand was very heavy, and it was still in full view,
Since Cao Yong became an official, it was the first time he had been reprimanded like this, and he had to kowtow to plead guilty.

In fact, his heart was clouded at the time, and he really didn't understand why this reprimand came from.

Having been an official for many years, it's hard to say anything else, he still deserves the word "diligence", which really has nothing to do with "slack".

The thirteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother and others who had good friends with Cao Yong all felt that the reprimand came inexplicably, so they could only secretly comfort Cao Yong while sighing that the king's heart is unpredictable.

If there is any injustice, it is inevitable to gloat over others' misfortune. The atmosphere in the Ministry of Accounting was quite strange in those few days. There was faint news that the emperor intended to change the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, which made Jiang Jian and Zuo Cheng very angry.

Cao Yong didn't care about it at all, and devoted himself to government affairs. Even if the powers were decentralized, he would check them one by one in the end, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

Yongzheng changed his face again when he made another small court.

This time, he praised Cao Yong, saying that he was "respectful and strict in handling affairs and strict in business affairs", and he was a model official, and then he gave him two boxes of new books.

The turmoil in the dark part of the household department gradually calmed down, and it was hard to say how many people were beating their chests.

Cao Yong remained calm, and still handled government affairs with peace of mind.

In his heart, he couldn't help but cast aside Yongzheng, what is this emperor trying to do?

No wonder it is said that he is capricious, and the reprimand and reward for Cao Yong does not explain this.

Rebuke without reason, and reward without reason.

If it were someone else with poor psychological endurance, they might have been scared to death by the emperor's change of face.

How did Cao Yong know that, in the final analysis, it was still on a few Buddhist scriptures in his small study.

Only because after the opening of the Yamen, the news that Cao Yong was still reading Buddhist scriptures spread to the palace, which caused Yongzheng's displeasure, so he reprimanded him.

Later, seeing Cao Yong began to concentrate on government affairs and had no time to read Buddhist scriptures, Yongzheng felt that he had been treated harshly before, so he began to praise and reward...

In Yongzheng's eyes, this is the way of the emperor.

In Cao Yongkai, this is poor toss, and Yongzheng's move is purely out of balance.

He has to do everything himself, and he is exhausted to death, so he can't see his courtiers handling government affairs calmly.

Cao Yong combined his thoughts and acted busy in the Yamen, and took the official documents that could be taken away and went home to deal with them...
