Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1347 A Lesson From Others

Cao Yong's excerpts were sent to Yuanmingyuan on the same day.

When they arrived at Luoya, Zuo Cheng greeted Cao Yong, but did not go with him; instead, he went to the office of the Ministry of Industry and waited for his brother to live in Zuo, and the two brothers rode behind Cao Yong's official sedan chair, It wasn't until they passed the Xihua Gate that they urged the horses to come forward and followed the attendants.

Jiang Jian saw the little buddy coming up and chatted with him.

He thought of the book drafted by Cao Yong, and he had preliminarily decided on the candidate for Huguang, so his eyes stopped on Zuo Cheng.

If Zuo Cheng noticed it, he hurriedly said: "You have only been separated from me for a quarter of an hour, and you miss me?"

Jiang Jian stroked his beard, and said, "It reminds me of the time when Second Master Bai was a child...it passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Second Master Bai is going to be a father too..."

After hearing his words, Zuo Zhu's eyes fell on his younger brother, and his eyes were full of pride.

Although when he remembered, Zuo Cheng's body had been recuperated, but he was still not as good as other children in the house.

Seeing that he is now growing up healthy and healthy, and can still do filial piety by his adoptive father and share his worries for his adoptive father, Zuo Zhu is very happy for this younger brother; With the bloodline of heirs, Zuo Zhu can only be happy.

Zuo Cheng laughed "hehe" twice, and said in a low voice, "Sir, you actually fooled me... The way you look at me is wrong, maybe you think about something bad again, it's definitely not because of this..."

Not close to each other, Cao Yong hasn't opened his mouth yet, so Jiang Jian naturally won't talk too much, and said: "Since the old lady has arrived in Beijing, is your lord planning to move?"

Seeing that he avoided talking about it, Zuo Cheng was surprised, and said calmly, "The adoptive father has already chosen a date. The 26th of this month is an auspicious day, and it is appropriate to move..."

Let's talk and talk, the group arrived at Caofu Hutong.

Jiang Jian greeted Cao Yong through the sedan chair curtain, and took the boy back to his yard in the back street.

Brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng got off their horses, one pressed the pole of the sedan chair, the other lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and waited for Cao Yong to come out.

Cao Yong got off the sedan chair, saw the two brothers respectfully about to step forward to help him, he couldn't help waving his hands, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? I'm not seventy or eighty, so why come here?"

Zuo Cheng retreated behind his brother, smiling and saying nothing; Zuo Zhu still stepped forward, took Cao Yong's arm, and said solemnly: "After the summer, the adoptive father has been greatly reduced... Chen Taiyi has already explained that it is not allowed The adoptive father is too exhausting. The old lady is not here, and the adoptive father will not obey the doctor's orders..."

There was a strong sense of reproach in the words.

Cao Yong glanced at him, and said: "Being the head of the family, I am getting more and more courageous. Your old house is almost cleaned up. How can you make people rush?"

Zuo Zhu nodded and said: "I was urged twice, but my son stopped me... What my son means is that I still want to follow the original plan and move out after my siblings give birth..."

Cao Yong nodded and said: "In the Yamen, what is your relationship with Yongliang?"

Zuo Zhu thought for a while and said, "Fourth Uncle takes good care of his son..."

Yongliang is also a hearty person. After being expelled by his stepmother, he did not return to his family, but rented a small courtyard house and lived alone.

He didn't take the pair of children with him, but begged Mrs. Ning to stay in Ning Mansion temporarily and be looked after by Mrs. Ning.After beating a few servants who waited on him, he only left a servant and a thick woman, and left the rest for his sons and daughters.

Although the old lady Ning hated Ji Yongliang, she looked up to Brother Kang, and the eldest sister lost her mother after landing, she was really pitiful.

On Yongliang's side, there was another big-bellied outer room who did not know when to enter the door, and Mrs. Ning was worried about handing over her two children to Yongliang.

Yongliang's mother once went to a small courtyard to call her son home and let him marry her niece as soon as possible.

In the end, Yongliang only admitted that his cousin was a concubine, and refused to marry him; Yongliang's mother was so angry that she couldn't do anything about Yongliang, so she hired a sedan chair to carry her pregnant niece to a small courtyard.

This aunt's cousin originally wanted to be rich and powerful, so she put down her body to seduce her cousin under her aunt's pressure. Unexpectedly, her cousin was sent back to her own house. She didn't even have an acre of land under her name, and even this place to live It is also rented.

She regretted it endlessly, but she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction and win over Yong Liang again.

While Yong Liang hated himself, he also lost the thought of pity and pity, and bluntly said that he would guard his wife for three years.If my cousin is willing to stay here, he can provide a bowl of rice; if she doesn't want to stay, she can marry him after she gives birth to a child.

Seeing that he was so heartless, the aunt and cousin had to move out of Yongliang's mother again.

When the aunt and cousin were unwilling, they also had other thoughts. Who doesn't want to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.But even though my cousin is on an errand in the Ministry of Industry, her salary is limited and her family has no permanent property. She is so young and pretty, so she really doesn't want to suffer along with her.

Yongliang's mother didn't believe that Yongliang was poor, all these years, only what Yongliang leaked through his fingers made them buy a house and property, and call for slaves and maidservants.

After all, he has been the head of the family for more than ten years, and if he said that he has no private property, who would believe it?

Even if the money is really not much, the clothes, accessories and antique calligraphy and paintings under Yong Liang's name are still worth a lot.

Thus, Yongliang was in a tragedy.

Her biological mother came to stand up for her niece confidently, and wanted to share half of her son's wealth.

According to her, even if he didn't want to see her, she wouldn't keep her niece here to dislike him, but after all, she had his flesh and blood.Even if you give birth to a child and take another step, if you are innocent, how can you find a decent family.

Whether he cares about the love between husband and wife, or the love of flesh and blood, Yong Liang should prepare a dowry for his cousin...

I heard that it was very lively, and Yongliang only gave 100 taels of silver, which was far from what Yongliang's mother asked for.

Yongliang's mother was upset and almost went to the Yamen to make trouble, but was stopped by Yongliang's father in the end.

Yongliang's mother was not reconciled, but Yongliang closed the door again, so she let out the word that she wanted to punish Yongliang for "disobedience and unfilial piety".

Two clansmen, whether out of sympathy or wanting to make a joke, came to Yong Liang to pass on a message.

Yong Liang didn't say anything, just took out two documents and showed them to the two fellow clansmen.

One is the contract signed by Yongliang's parents when Yongliang adopted him. It states that his four sons are poor and hard to support, and they are willing to adopt the four sons to another house.It also marked a sum of favor and support paid by Mrs. Ning to the couple, which can be regarded as preventing the couple from raising their son for nothing.In the last clause of the contract, it states that Yong Liang has nothing to do with their husband and wife, life and death are irrelevant.

The eyes of the two tribesmen were stunned.

This is not an adoption document, it is obviously a sales document.

The other one is a separate account certificate provided by the Nine Metropolitan Yamen.

Yongliang has another household under the name of Mrs. Ning's house, and has formed an independent branch, becoming a member of the side branch.

The two looked at each other in dismay, not understanding why Mrs. Ning did not take out the paperwork when Yongliang's parents were pestering Yongliang, and why Mrs. Ning, who hated Yongliang when they divided the children years ago, agreed to Yongliang's attachment Open an account.

However, what they understood was that no matter how noisy Yongliang's biological mother was, she couldn't suppress Yongliang...

Although Yongliang is not a big man, but because of his relationship with Zuozhu and Zuocheng brothers, Cao Yong has attracted people's attention, and he is also aware of what happened to Yongliang in the past few months.

Now mentioning Yongliang, Cao Yong slowed down and said: "Wife farewell, adoptive mother is righteous, biological mother is enmity, you two brothers talk about it, why did Yongliang fall to this point?"

Zuo Zhu listened, looked at his younger brother, saw that he didn't intend to speak, he hesitated and said: "Fourth Uncle is not really evil, it's just that his temper was too indecisive before, he was a little confused..."

Cao Yong was noncommittal, looking towards Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Cheng said with a sneer on his face: "Why else, it's just a word of 'greedy'. Even if he is grateful for the kindness of his biological father and mother, he is not ignorant and childish. Could it be that he is completely selfless, just because of filial piety, he tries to make money for him? My biological father and biological mother bought property? But because my elder brother and I returned to the clan, he was always on the fence, so he wanted to make two-handed preparations. He stepped on two boats, and both boats were unstable, so he fell into the river... Speaking of innocence, the fourth wife who lost her life in vain is innocent, and the innocent child who lost her mother is innocent..."

Zuo Zhu frowned and said: "Second brother, fourth uncle is an elder after all, and the current situation is difficult, why do you bother to make sarcastic remarks..."

Zuo Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that he has become a member of another family, and my brother treats him as a relative and elder? Since he wants to separate households, it is not good to be named under someone else's name. Why should he be named under my family? Brother, no Said that he was just reluctant to part with their old lady..."

Zuo Zhu shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about that...it's just...it's just that he's already here, if the second younger brother Qiqing shows his face, others will not say that he is scheming, but will only say that we are cold and snobbish..."

Seeing his elder brother insisting on being a good person, Zuo Cheng became even more furious, and said, "Could it be that in order to be praised, I have to find relatives everywhere..."

Zuo Zhu wanted to say more, but Cao Yong said in a cold voice: "You two brothers are promising. You have only been away from the mansion for a long time, and you have begun to learn to talk about length and disadvantage. When will you stage the martial arts?"

He has too many things to worry about, because the twins have already married and established a business, so he has less restraint. He did not expect the two brothers who have always been harmonious to argue with him.

Seeing that he was annoyed, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng both stopped talking.

Zuo Zhu blushed and said, "Father, is it the son's fault? The second brother is only worried about his son, afraid that he will be soft-hearted and be fooled by the Zhangjia clan, so he reminds him repeatedly..."

Zuo Cheng also said, "It's my son's fault. He knows that big brother is gentle and kind, but he forced him to show his face in front of others..."

At this moment, the two brothers are very brotherly and affectionate, and they both blamed themselves, fearing that the adoptive father would blame each other.

Seeing this, Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief, his face was still dark, and he said to Zuo Zhu: "Since you know that your second brother is kind, why don't you listen to my advice?"

Zuo Zhu rubbed the back of his head, and said embarrassingly, "Ye-father taught in the early years that even if you are an enemy of life and death, you can't tear your face without tearing your face... Although the Zhangjia clan is not close to us, in the eyes of the world, But they are blood relatives who cannot be severed...but entertaining a few elders, listening to a few babbles, saying a few good words, gaining face and not suffering a disadvantage..."

When Cao Yong heard this, he secretly praised him.

After all, the children who are taught by themselves can't help but appear honest and honest on the surface, but they are also unwilling to suffer losses in their bones.

He glanced at Zuo Cheng, who was stunned by Zuo Zhu's words, and then asked Zuo Zhu, "Since you have a plan in mind, you can just tell your brother, why bother the two brothers..."

Zuo Zhu lowered his head and said, "Second brother never likes sending these favors to..."

*
I really love the twins, why did they grow up so big.

Among the four sons of the Cao family, the one who is closest to Cao Yong is Hang Seng, and the one who admires Cao Yong the most is Zuo Cheng. .
