Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1342

Being praised face to face by the elders, Tianhui could only lower her head in a shy manner.In fact, she was quite surprised.

She had heard from her mother earlier about the matter of the University Scholars' Mansion, and she thought that he, the old lady in charge of the family, had a strong personality, so she would manage the concubine and concubine daughter-in-law submissively; , warm and tight.

Then look at the Mingyue girl who is following behind him, she is dignified and beautiful, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and is amiable to watch.

Thinking of Mingyue's attire, and the mention of Mingyue when the third aunt posted a post, Tianhui knew in her heart that this should be the end of her filial piety, otherwise she would not go out with her grandmother.My third aunt would not take the liberty of posting.

Apart from filial piety... looked at each other, and then... Tianhui couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, she was a little uneasy, but at the same time she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since Niu Niu got married, she had also thought about what her future husband's family would look like and what kind of life she would live in the future.

With her parents to rely on, she is not worried about her hard life after marriage, but she is tired and lazy, prefers to be quiet and does not like to move, and is unwilling to change too much.

Since getting married is a must, she still hopes that the life of her husband's family will not be too different from her own, otherwise it will take more trouble.

It doesn't matter whether his Tara's kindness is a mask of being a guest, or his own temperament.Just looking at her raising her granddaughter so decently, she can't do anything wrong.

Thinking of this, Tianhui felt more at ease in her heart, and her expression became calmer...

As Cao Jia's identity, there is no need to greet him.

Therefore, when everyone is introduced into the flower hall by Cao Yi, they will have to meet again.

Although we have only met Taras a few times and are not very familiar with him, Cao Jia's level of handling people and things is already familiar with him in a few words.

As the proprietor, Cao Yi has to arrange the flower viewing and the banquet.Because Tataras arrived, he had to go to the nearby General's Mansion to invite his mother-in-law Sitara.

Even though he knew that Sitara would probably not come over, he still had to go to invite him.

Seeing that the eldest sister called him Tarra, she asked Mrs. Shizi to take some girls to have tea with her.

Mrs. Shizi is her niece and daughter-in-law, Tianhui is her niece, Longan is her niece, and Mingyue is also called "cousin niece". There is no outsider.

Cao Yi had nothing to worry about, so he pleaded guilty with Tarra and others, and then went to the General's Mansion next door.

Although Cao Yi didn't say it clearly, most of the people present guessed her whereabouts.

It is hard for others to say anything about the housework of the Duke’s mansion. Yurui Gege is the daughter of the Duke’s mansion, so there is no need to worry too much. Tong Chuyu said in a low voice: "Auntie is too careful. My brother is the only son of my aunt. The incense next to me, I have not forgotten the principle of giving birth, and there is nothing wrong with serving my birth mother. Fortunately, it is close to each other... It is not cheap, but sister-in-law has worked hard..."

Yurui was only 12 years old when Cao Yi and Sai Shitu took over. The little girl lost her father and mother, so she was so pitiful, but she had a hot temper.

In the beginning, he was very displeased with his brother and sister-in-law, but after seeing people's hearts for a long time, Cao Yi is patient, and after several years of getting along with his aunt and sister-in-law, they are very harmonious.

Even Yurui's temperament has been taught by Cao Yi to restrain her a lot.

Although there are quite a few cousins ​​in her natal family, but Yurui has seen their shameless faces of quarreling and seizing property before and after the death of the old Duke, so how can they get close.

Therefore, no matter whether it was before or after marriage, Yurui only got close to his brother and sister-in-law's family, and there was a real bond of flesh and blood.

For this reason, she also met Chu Yu a few times, and they were fairly familiar.

Chu Yu listened with a smile, bowed her head in silence, but admired Sitara in her heart.

If it were an ordinary old lady, she would have followed her son and daughter-in-law into the Duke's mansion to enjoy the blessings. After all, the Duke's mansion has no other elders, and the biggest master is the old lady's own son.Even if the old lady is domineering, as long as she has her son backing her up, what can others do with jealousy?

But in that case, after all, it left people with an excuse, and it was Seshtu who was in trouble.

Human feelings are human feelings, and etiquette is etiquette. Since he inherited the direct lineage, Seshtu is not the son of the old lady.The old lady is just the aunt in the next room, not one of the "eight mothers".

From Chu Yu's point of view, my sister-in-law might have gone through all this in vain.

Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later, Cao Yi came back and made amends with him, saying that the old lady had recently become a vegetarian, so she would not come to drink, and also passed on the old lady's message, asking him not to drink after dinner. Go in a hurry, go and sit down.

He Tara responded with a smile, and everyone went out of the living room to enjoy the flowers in the garden.

The garden of the Duke's Mansion is not big, but the layout is exquisite and compact, with lakes, stones, rockery, towers, terraces and pavilions, all kinds of colors are available.

The peony garden is in the corner of the garden, there are more than a dozen clumps of peonies, colorful and in full bloom, and it is rare that there are two dark-colored peonies, which are extraordinarily enchanting.

Although today's "flower viewing" started from the beginning, we still have to take a walk around.

Prince Ping's Mansion has its own garden, and the peonies that are more available here are branches from the Prince's Mansion. It is not unusual for Cao Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to see it.

On Chuyu and Tianhui's side, Cao's Haidian Garden also had people plant a peony garden.

All the female relatives strolled among the flowers, mostly to admire people.

The female family members of the Cao family, in addition to paying attention to his Taras, are also observing Mingyue.

Girls are different from men. Men move out of the outer house when they get older, and are more influenced by men's respected relatives and teachers; Reflects the tutoring of the elders.

But the more she watched, the more she was satisfied, especially Cao Jia, who felt that Mingyue acted generously and acted like she did before she left the cabinet. He took her hand and asked a few questions about her usual leisure and hobbies affectionately.

Although she is the eldest granddaughter of the University Scholars' Mansion, she is a Bannerman girl. Mingyue didn't talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but only said that besides accompanying her grandmother to worship Buddha, she is also learning from female celebrities.

Seeing how docile she is, if it were someone else, they would probably believe the answer after hearing it.

But both Chuyu and Cao Jia knew the details of the Grand Scholars' Mansion, and in name they were still in charge of the Tara family, but in fact it was Mingyue, Miss Sun, who was handling the housework.

It is a good thing for a woman to be capable, but it is not so good to be too clever and strong.

The bright moon has a square inside and a round outside. It is capable, restrained and not ostentatious, which is very easy to make people feel good.

Chu Yu and Cao Jiashi looked at each other, and they all looked at him and Talashi together, a little understanding of the old lady's behavior.

Shrewd, capable, and peaceful, it is only good for Tianhui to have such a grandma teach her for a few years.

The sister-in-law is a measured person, there is nothing to worry about in the inner house of the University Scholars Mansion.As for the uncles and aunts who have not been separated, their status is limited, and it doesn't matter what the eldest wife is.

On Yurui's side, a little embarrassed, she took an opportunity to drag Cao Yi a few steps behind, and the two aunts and sisters-in-law whispered.

"Sister-in-law, it's my fault, I'm too impatient, there are traces..." Yu Rui whispered a little uneasy.

She is not a fool, she just treated it as an ordinary relative's banquet before, because she knew that Mrs. Cao's family would come, she treated each other solemnly; when she arrived here, she found out that she had other intentions.In this way, it would be disrespectful for her to dress up her daughter carefully.

Fortunately, Longan is still young, so there is no misunderstanding, but it is presumptuous.

Cao Yi said softly: "Even if my sister-in-law sees something, I won't blame you. It's just that I feel sorry for my daughter... My sister-in-law also has daughters... It's just that Sister Gui is only eleven, and she will not be old enough for next year's general election. There are still four years left to participate in the next session, my sister doesn't need to be too anxious..."

Yurui's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and said: "How can you not be in a hurry? Seeing that the longan is getting better and better, among the sisters of her generation, she is one of the best. Some elders in the clan have begun to pay attention, and two of them have already persuaded Let's ask the nuns for advice... They want to be rich, so how can I be willing to give up longan... As our master, longan is a side concubine even if it refers to the clan... If it stays in the palace, the status will be even lower, I don't know what to do suffering..."

After hearing this, Cao Yi thought for a while and said, "Although the marriage of banner people doesn't pay much attention to seniority, but my natal family mostly practice Han etiquette. It's hard to say if I can talk to my sister... But even if I succeed, with the color of my niece, it's not easy to put her name on the draft..."

Hearing this, Yu Rui frowned and said, "Apart from getting sick, what else can I do? It's better than being a concubine and using sex to serve people..."

After all, he, Talashi, was seventy years old, and he couldn't stand it after walking half a circle in the garden.

Girls of the younger generation, even if they don't think this peony is strange, it adds freshness to the garden.

Cao Yi asked Mrs. Shizi to entertain a few girls on his behalf before going shopping, and the others accompanied him to the living room...

Household Department, Shangshu Government Office.

Although Cao Yong works as usual, he can't help thinking about his wife and daughter.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, whether the old lady of the university scholar's mansion gets along well or not, I have to see my family.

When he was inattentive for a while, his expression became a little dazed, and his efficiency slowed down.

It happened that Jiang Jian came in to deliver the documents. Seeing Cao Yong like this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, are you worried about the water situation in the south of the Yangtze River?"

When Cao Yong heard the words, he couldn't help being taken aback.

That's right, although there was no drought in Zhili this spring, there was news from the south of the Yangtze River that the rainfall was twice that of last year. After consulting the local chronicles, Li Wei wrote a letter to Yuqian, specifically mentioning this matter.

The last year with such a lot of rain was a year of flooding.

Although it hasn't been long since summer this year, the signs are already bad.

The water level in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is relatively high. If flood control is not done before the rainy season arrives, if the floods really happen, the livelihood of the people on both sides of the river will be difficult to stabilize.

Li Wei is only the governor of Zhejiang, but there are governors of Huguang and Liangjiang in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Yongzheng was not a flamboyant emperor. He always paid more attention to people's livelihood. In addition, in the past two years, it was the nationwide reform of "sharing the income of the gentry into the mu" and "integration of the gentry and the gentry". Therefore, he paid special attention to the dynamics in the south of the Yangtze River.

If there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the food money can only be reduced or exempted, and the two new policies will inevitably be interrupted, which he cannot bear.

Therefore, he attached great importance to Li Wei's papers. In addition to exempting several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River from money and grain, and urging local governments to build dams to prevent floods; I am afraid that someone will not open their eyes and stretch out their hands on the flood control silver, which will delay the big event.

Cao Yong didn't speak, and in Jiang Jian's eyes, he was more concerned about the country and the people. He comforted him: "Rain, snow, drought, and climate change are beyond human power. Since Master Li is in charge of this matter, it must be unambiguous. You don't have to worry too much..."

Cao Yong nodded, and said: "What Feilin said is that I am worrying unnecessarily..."

He didn't move his face, but looking at Jiang Jian with a skinny expression, he felt hot in his ears.

The reason why he lives a leisurely life is because of Jiang Jian, a staff member who wholeheartedly helps with government affairs.

If he hadn't really cared about the country and the people, Jiang Jian would not have given up his fame and wealth, and would have stayed in the Cao Mansion willingly, to be an unknown six-part document...

Even if it is not for the sake of others, but just to prevent Jiang Jian from regretting and disappointing, he should take care of his family affairs and do his best for the country and the people...

Tears ran, did not make up today.Being overtaken by Gao Yue, she begged for a few monthly tickets in a low voice.
