Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1357 and the wedding ceremony
The Cao family has been in Banner for many years, even though they kept a lot of Han rituals in their daily life, they simplified the Jiji rituals into complicated ones, but it was not so complicated, only one plus was kept.

Concubine Mi is the guest of honor at the Jiji ceremony, Tianhui's aunt Borzigit is the secretary, Niuniu is the praiser, and Nengchao is the musician.

The auspicious time is approaching, and Tianhui, the protagonist of Jiji Li, came to the main hall of Fuyuan Hall surrounded by several sisters of the same generation.

Tianhui's cousin Sun Xian and cousin Li Xiangyu made the young women's equipment, the two cardamom girls were cousins ​​Nongchao and Nongyu, and a little girl in her teens was the daughter of the Borzigit clan.

After greeting the elders, Nengchao stepped aside and took a seat behind the piano stand.

Mrs. Li was the host, Concubine Mi was the guest, and everyone presided over the Jiji ceremony for Tianhui.

After the ceremony, it's time for dinner.

Chu Yu arranged the banquet venue on the waterside pavilion in the garden, with several tables inside and outside, the older ones were inside with Concubine Mi and Mrs. Li, while the younger generation was outside.

After the banquet, fruit was served, and two female storytellers came up to make fun of everyone.

Although a while ago, during the housewarming party, everyone came here more often and visited the garden, but now the lotus is in bud, and the scenery is different.

Everyone came out of the water pavilion in twos and threes, watching the scenery outside.

Cao Yi and the fourth sister came out together, found a gazebo and sat down to talk.

Sending the following maids to stand in the distance, the fourth sister turned sad and said, "Third sister, I really can't do anything... Eldest sister, I have said what I should say several times, but see what she means. There is no intention of saving oneself at all... The eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law are all sensible people, who can't see her small thoughts? If it is really hard to live, who can help the brothers and sisters? But where is the Sun family? Has it reached that point? My in-laws have recovered, and Brother Li has officially been appointed as an official. The only thing we can do is get better. How can we bear to cry every time we meet?"

Cao Yi sighed, and said: "Even if Eldest Sister wants to ask her natal family for help, she shouldn't do that today. Although Sister-in-law has a good temper, Tianhui is her best friend. Did Eldest Sister encounter any difficulties? That's why she doesn't care about it like this." Don't care about it?"

The fourth sister recalled the conversation with her eldest sister in the back building, her eldest sister had encountered any difficulties, but she was just greedy for others, wanted to cry around poorly, and dragged herself to her house.

But living at home, whose money is blown by the strong wind?

It's a different feeling to want something for someone than it is to be wanted by someone else.

Not to mention what other brothers and sister-in-laws think, even her younger sister is a little impatient when she comes down twice and three times.

Poor people must have something to hate, perhaps it is the so-called "people who are poor and short of breath".

Although the life of the Sun family gradually improved, the gap between the two families became wider and wider because of the good life of the Cao family.

Among brothers and sisters, only my elder sister is the most difficult.

But even between brothers and sisters, there is no reason to get along like this.

Among their generation, Cao Ying is the eldest, not to mention the relationship with the eldest sister and younger brother, but with the younger siblings on the second bedroom side, because of the big age difference, they don't get along for long.

After all, it is my own elder sister, not for others, but just to prevent my mother from worrying about her, and the fourth sister is not easy to hold back.

Thinking of this, she said: "The daughter-in-law is married, and the niece is also married. What difficulties can the eldest sister have? It's just that I am afraid of living in poverty, have no money in my hands, and feel uneasy... But I can't look at it with my face down like this. It's really not like... If there is a real dispute, I don't know, but we are snobbish, disregarding brotherhood..."

Cao Yi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't answer the words of the fourth sister.

The brothers and sisters in Dongfu are well-known now, but she doesn't want to be glorified, so naturally she won't close the door with them to have a big drama of brotherly affection.

Apart from growing up with Cao Song as a child and having a deep relationship, no one else has any feelings.

In the early years, I took care of Cao Ying many times because they were all married daughters of the Cao family.Cao Jia's status is precious, so it is not easy to intervene; Cao Yong and Cao Song are men.She helps as much as she can.

But where did it fall?

Knowing that the twins were descendants of the Li family, Cao Ying blamed Cao Yi, blaming her for inciting her to sell her two aunts and hurt the face of her relatives.

When the fourth sister became Prince Fujin, Cao Ying became even more confident, she didn't dare to show off in front of others, and became a concubine in front of Cao Yi.

Cao Yi couldn't be bothered with this, so he naturally kept him at a respectful distance.

Today, I took the initiative to get close to Cao Ying, but I was entrusted by the fourth sister, and I didn't want her to continue to hang her face to disappoint, which affected my niece's ceremony.

Seeing that Cao Yi didn't talk to each other, the fourth sister looked embarrassed and said, "Why don't we go to the second sister's place later and listen to what the second sister has to say?"

Cao Yi did not refuse this time, and nodded his head in response...

The distance between Cao's mansion and Prince Ping's mansion was only a few hundred zhang. Hearing that the two younger sisters wanted to go to her own house, Cao Jia didn't think much about it, and when she came out of her natal house, she cheerfully greeted the two younger sisters to go back with them.

Thinking of her niece Ji Ji, who will get married next year, although Cao Jia is a little sad, she is more happy.

There is a girl in my family who just grew up, so she grew up a little bit and became a big girl.

Thinking of my daughter Fumin who died young, I couldn't help feeling sour again.

Amid mixed feelings, Cao Jia's mood suddenly became gloomy when she heard the fourth sister mentioned Cao Ying.

She asked herself that she was not a stingy person, since Cao Ying and his wife went to Beijing, they took care of what they could; what did they get?
The emperor didn't want to see Prince Ping's mansion, so Cao Ying cut off contact with him.

When she and her husband left Beijing, Cao Ying even pretended not to know, and didn't show a single face.

Presumably, she herself was also guilty. In the past two years, the autumn wind has been blowing around, but it has not come to Prince Ping's mansion.

Cao Jia looked at the face of the other cousins ​​in the second room, and she didn't want to tear up her face with them, and she also did it, but she didn't want to entangle with them.

After hearing what the fourth sister said, she said solemnly: "Could it be that the fourth sister doesn't know why the two nieces, Nongchao and Nongyu, returned to Beijing?"

Seeing that the cousin changed the conversation, the fourth sister was a little puzzled, and said: "I know, next year is the year of the big challenge."

Cao Jia said sternly: "Is the fourth sister living too leisurely, regardless of her size, to meddle in relatives' affairs? Next year will be a big challenge, will Prince Yu's mansion be able to enter? It's okay if you mean it." , If you refer to a side Fujin and give birth to a son, how will you treat it? Seeing that there is only one year and a few months left, you don't think about your own affairs, but worry about others? The son-in-law is also carefully selected, so there is nothing wrong with it... If it is not good, it is just dissatisfaction... Desires are hard to fill, so what can we do if we move out a mountain of gold and silver?"

The fourth sister's face turned pale when she heard it, and she was speechless for a while, and she no longer had the heart to worry about the elder sister's affairs...

In the Cao Mansion, the guests almost left, but Niuniu stayed behind.

When Chuyu came back from seeing off the guests, Niuniu had already dragged Tianhui to wait in Jiuruyuan.

After staying for a whole day, Chu Yu was also tired. The two aunts and nephews were not outsiders, so they leaned down and joked: "Look at the two of you, aunts and nephews, you can't be separated when you get together. It's really Meng Buli's focus. ..."

Tianhui took the Beauty Fist, stepped forward, beat Chuyu's leg, and said, "Little aunt is discussing important matters with my daughter..."

Chu Yu asked curiously, "What's the big deal?"

Ever since the "Neiliansheng" small-scale trial was successful, the two uncles and nephews have always wanted to do something else.

But after thinking about food, clothing, housing and transportation, there was nothing too suitable, so I put it on hold.

Why do you remember this now?
Tianhui pursed her lips and looked at Niuniu with a smile.

Niu Niu said: "I didn't think of this earlier... It was only when I remembered that my elder brother went outside the pass, I thought of this... During the time of the holy grandfather, he would go out to patrol every year, and the princes and officials in the capital would follow him. Those who follow the retinue and those who do not follow the retinue will be rewarded more, and there is no shortage of straight wool materials. Since the emperor took the throne, he has not been out of the customs. After six or seven years, the materials stored in the capital earlier are similar. If it is opened at this time A shop that specializes in fur materials, maybe it can sell better..."

Chu Yu sat up, shook her head, and said, "It's too simple to think. Although there are many straight wool materials outside the customs, there are very few top-grade materials...the top-grade materials were shipped from Guangdong and Russia by the Ministry of Internal Affairs... "

After hearing this, Niuniu and Tianhui looked at each other with hesitation.

Chu Yu looked at their aunt and nephew, and thought of Cao Ying.

No matter how pampered you are in your natal family, you have to be a housewife when you leave the house. It is cheaper to have more dowry and private houses.

Therefore, Chu Yu smiled and said, "This is a blow? Although there are many wealthy households in the capital, how many people can use the materials of Fanbang? I think this business can be done?"

Niuniu and Tianhui were overjoyed when they heard the words.

Chu Yu snorted softly, and said: "However, you and your aunt and nephew have to discuss how to proceed, don't expect the master to be with me... I want to prepare the ceremony for Prince Jian's residence, and the master has a serious business to do, so I can't mess around with you ..."

The aunt and nephew hurriedly got up and answered...

*
Shengjing, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Looking at the upper and lower colleagues in the yamen of the Shengjing Ministry of Industry, Cao Yong smiled a little reluctantly.

By visual inspection, the average age from hall official to secretary officer is over 50 years old.

The Sixth Division of Shengjing was originally a deserted yamen, and most of the officials here were "assigned".

After coming here, unless you are very lucky or have a family background, you basically have no chance to move places, and you have to stay until the age of becoming an official.

As a result, there are a bunch of old men in the yamen.

Before arriving in Shengjing, Cao Yong had a secret case on the road, thinking that someone should be responsible.Dozens of flood control points will be set up around Shengjing, and manpower will be deployed for monitoring.

But how many days can this old, weak, sick and disabled official stay by the river?

Even if there are a few young and strong among them, it is estimated that they can be stronger, but the gap is too big.

It seems that we still have to go to the capital to ask for an order to see if the capital will send people over.

At the gate of the government office, Yi Duli strode in, with an ugly expression on his face...
