Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1385 All Beings (Two in One)

Ganxi No. [-], the main house.

Mrs. Fucha was sitting on the kang, holding a rattle in his hand, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Nanny Gui sighed, and said, "Fujin, little Gege has already gone... Master still needs to recuperate well, and when the filial piety period is over, add a strong little elder brother..."

The corners of Fucha's mouth grew a little more sarcasm: "Even if you give birth to an elder brother, you will still be a second elder brother... The eldest son is not born, and the first son is not born... I understand now, what is for my own good, but for the Fucha family …Why did King Zhijun compete with Prince Limi back then, because he was the eldest son? Where is my help? I am used to pretending to be honest, and that is my enemy..."

Seeing that Fucha's words became more and more resentful, Nanny Gui hurriedly said, "Be careful with your words..."

Mrs. Fucha snorted coldly, and finally listened to the persuasion, and said no more.

Although as the prince's concubine Fujin, she looks infinitely beautiful, but she is young and her city is limited.

Coupled with the reason of keeping filial piety, except for the three days of marriage, the husband and wife have been separated until now.

As the prostitute of the Fucha family, even if she married into the royal family, she felt that she had nothing to hold her head up.

She had known for a long time that her husband, as a prince, would not only belong to her, but she never thought that pretending to be a virtuous man would torture people like this.

Even if she looked down on those wrapped women in her heart, she had to admit that they were more beautiful, more submissive than herself, and more in line with her husband's wishes.

Although the husband entrusted her with the internal affairs of the two institutes and respected her as his first wife, he did not conceal his love for the concubine's room.

Nanny Gui knew that Fujin had a deep heart for Fucha Gege, but at Elder Brother's house, the two of them could not quarrel with each other, otherwise they would only benefit others, so she changed the subject and said, "Fujin, fourth master went to the concubine again yesterday." In Fujin's room..."

Although Elder Brother has quite a few concubines, so far, only one has the status of Shu Fu Jin.

Fu Cha raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you stayed overnight?"

"No, but Lord Shi Shi didn't come out until close, and he still lives in the study..." Nanny Gui said.

Although the fourth elder brother has no brothers here, but because elder brother Fuhui died young, even if it can barely be regarded as a death, the relatives surrendered to mourning for the first time, but it was only a light mourning. Except for the first three days of the palace ban, the fourth elder brother had no obedience.

Although Cao Jia's family is in service, if something happens, the Cao family will lose face.

Mrs. Fucha wanted her to lose face, so how could she stop her?

Now hearing Nanny Gui say that the fourth elder brother still went back to the study, Fucha lost interest and said, "Master wants to keep Cao's family under wraps. Mammy picks out some gifts and sends them to Cao Jia..."

Seeing that the Fucha family didn't take Cao Jia's family seriously, Nanny Gui swallowed back the words that the Cao family has been in the limelight these years.

Forget it, after looking at it for more than a year, Cao Shufu Jin is really not troublesome, there are already a few restless ones, why bother to force the remaining honest one into an enemy.

Although the Cao family couldn't reach the palace, the Cao family's aunts married into the clan.

If Fujin and Cao Shu Fujin meet, who knows what gossip will come out in the clan...

*
In the backyard, in Wu'er's room.

Chun Cheng closed the jewelry box and said joyfully: "Master, I have rewarded you again...the box is going to be full..."

Wu'er smiled and continued to work on her needlework.It is a small tiger-toe shoe, but it is half the size of an adult's palm. It is extremely delicate, and it looks like it is for a baby.

Chun Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, Yu Wang Fujin's delivery date is still half a year later, why don't you let the master go first... Slaves look, Fourth Master's purse is getting old..."

Wu'er said disapprovingly: "How many people in these two institutes want to make purses for Fourth Master, where is my turn?"

Chun Cheng anxiously said: "Then where are the Empress and Concubine Xi? The master must always approach and show respect..."

In the early years, before Fujin entered the door, Wu'er was in charge of elder brother's palace affairs, and often went to the two palaces to say hello.

Ever since Di Fujin came in, Wu'er was like an invisible person, and never moved forward.

Wu'er put down his needle and thread, looked at Chun Cheng, and remained silent for a while.

Chun Cheng felt her face turn red, she couldn't stand anymore, she knelt down and said: "This slave is too talkative, please punish me..."

Since Wu'er entered the palace, Chun Cheng has served her, and the two have been in love for many years.

Wu'er knew that Chun Cheng was only worried about herself because she saw those concubines being favored.

But she knew that her opponent was never those Gege, concubines, or Fucha Fujin.

After entering the palace for the past few years, watching carefully made her understand that the so-called "lords of the six palaces" in this palace are all fictitious, and in fact there is only one master.

Now it is Emperor Yongzheng, and in the future it may be the fourth elder brother.

Other people, no matter if they are so-called "wife-gifters", concubines whose mothers are precious to their sons, or late noble concubines who were once favored by the emperor, they are all just "foxes" in "Fox Fake Tiger Prestige", borrowing from the emperor. Potential.

And the harem is closely related to the previous dynasty.

Before the fall of the Nian family, the queen also had to avoid the edge of the noble concubine of the Nian; "two horses eat all the grass in the world", so the daughter of the Fucha family can be the prince's concubine; , A few days ago, he was promoted to chief minister again, and the fourth elder brother's favor towards the Gao family gradually became more and more obvious... Even because of himself, because he had several good brothers, Fujin was not polite, and the fourth elder brother's attitude became softer, didn't he?

It's just that for the court lady, the power of the family outside the palace brings not only support, but also a blade.

It's like Nian Guifei, who quickly fell after the family lost power...

From the Cao family to the palace, Wu'er had seen only a few men, but she had seen too many women.

Elders, sisters-in-law, sisters... Wu'er was a little secretly happy in her heart, and she blushed thinking that no matter what kind of family she married, she must follow the example of her sisters-in-law and sisters. Be a wife who is both happy and admired.

But luck made people, she entered the palace without choice, and became the prince's concubine.

The ones she played in elementary school, the ones she secretly imitated, suddenly became a joke.

The only thing left of her is that bit of alertness and eye-reading, which made her survive in peace...

Even though her biological parents died early and her aunt was not close, she never forgot the love and care given to her by members of the Cao family and the two families.

The deeper the chasm in her heart, the more careful she acted, because she knew that she was not an ordinary married woman, and it was impossible for her to sever ties with the Cao family.If you make a wrong move, not only will you be doomed, but your family and relatives will also be affected...

She looked at Chun Cheng, and said softly: "Fu Jin won't let his concubine's room get pregnant again... It's not necessarily a good thing to be favored too much..."

Chun Cheng almost cried out in surprise, quickly covered her mouth, and whispered: "Master, Fujin really dares..."

Wu'er also whispered: "If you don't dare, why are there no movements from those few? It's just Bizitang, common, what's the matter?"

Chun Cheng swallowed and spit, pointed to the direction of the study: "Then Gao?"

I don't know if the fourth elder brother is saving face for Fujin, or for other reasons, when he was in elder brother's house, he only stayed in the concubine's room for half a month, and stayed in the study for the other half month.

But it's funny to say, there is someone on duty in the study, that is Mrs. Gao.

At present, the two institutes have the meaning of three parts of the world, Fucha Fujin and Fucha Gege, Su Gege and Jin Gege, and the handmaiden Gao Shi.

Because Wu'er is not outstanding in appearance and is not favored, he was able to stay out of the matter for a while.

But Gao is just a servant girl, but she can stand on a corner of the tripartite, which shows the prosperity of love.She is only 15 years old, immature, but has a deep relationship with the fourth elder brother.

Her elder sister, Da Gao, also entered the palace by small selection in her early years, and became one of the maids of the fourth elder brother who taught intercourse. She was the first woman of the fourth elder brother, and she was once favored by the fourth elder brother.

It was only because the queen didn't like it that she suppressed her promotion.Hongli had already promised that when Di Fujin came in, he would raise his status to Da Gao.

I don't want to wait until Hongli's wedding, Da Gao died of illness.

The Gao family had no intention of sending their daughter into the palace again, because Hongli's old love was unforgettable, so he made a special trip to the Gao family, saw Gao, fell in love with him, and begged to send Gao into the palace.

Originally, Hongli wanted to promote Gao to Gege, but since he saw Fucha Gege, Jin, Su and others setting up rules in front of Fucha, he stopped this thought and put Gao's maiden status aside. Waiting in the study.

In this way, even if Mrs. Fucha is qualified to manage elder brother's concubine's room, it's not easy to dictate to her husband's neighbours.

Wu'er blinked, and said mischievously: "If her Ama hadn't been promoted to the Chief Executive, maybe Fujin would have been her... Since her Ama has been promoted to the Chief Executive, Fujin might not feel at ease..."

*
Tongzhou, the pier.

Nongyu followed her elder sister, seeing her father in front of her was unsteady, she leaned on her fourth uncle, and whispered, "Sister, what's wrong with father?"

Neng Chao said in a hoarse voice: "Perhaps it is too sad..."

It is true that Cao Song is sad, but now he is leaning on Cao Xiang, thanks to Cao Yong.

Because of being disturbed by these things at home, Cao Yong was physically and mentally exhausted, and he had no patience to coax Cao Song to eat anymore.

He just pretended to be the patriarch, and directly condemned his cousin with a few "crimes", "unfilial, unkind, unrighteous", etc., then took the cane, and slapped Cao Song twenty times with his own hands.

Cao Song gritted his teeth at first, but later he couldn't take it anymore, and jumped up and down to avoid it, which added freshness.

Cao Yong had been holding back his anger for a long time, and after venting, he finally felt more comfortable.

Cao Song was whipped, but he began to eat and drink honestly, making Cao Yong resentful.

The big guy can't laugh or cry, how much face should he save in front of the younger generation.

Therefore, the younger generation does not know the details.
Jinghui's coffin arrived in Beijing today, but Cao Yong did not come over. Chuyu, Changsheng, and Hangsheng came from Cao's parents' room, and Cao Song's father and daughter, Cao Xiang, Tianhu and Tianyang, came from the second room.

Both Chang Sheng and Heng Sheng's uncle and nephew also saw Cao Song's strange behavior, and Chang Sheng worried: "Second brother can't even ride a horse, and now he can't stand still... Second sister-in-law's coffin will arrive soon, what if I can't bear it?"

Hang Seng is the most honest, only when Cao Song is really saddened, he frowned and said: "What else can we do? Let's persuade him more..."

Tianhu and Tianyang are both by the side, feeling uncomfortable.

One of them is a posthumous child and the other is a concubine. They were taken care of by Jing Hui when they were young, and they also sincerely respect and love Jing Hui, an aunt.

It was almost noon, and the passenger ship carrying Jinghui's coffin finally docked...

The temple that the Cao family settled was the Wuta Temple outside Xizhimen, which is the closest to the city and cheap to get in and out of.

Most of the deceased officials and their family members died here. Cao Xiang was convinced that he was mourned, so he came to see the abbot in person, and made a decision to stop here for mourning.

The coffin arrived in Tongzhou today, and it will be transported back to Wuta Temple on the same day.

Cao Fang and the two housekeepers from the East Mansion had already arrived, set up the curtains of the mourning hall, and cleaned the guest courtyard. Before Jinghui's funeral, all members of the Cao family had to take turns to accompany Cao Song's family to observe the funeral here.

It is 55 miles from Tongzhou Wharf to Xizhimen, and because of the horse-drawn carriage pulling the coffin, they couldn't move fast, and they didn't arrive at Wuta Temple until it was dusk.

Chu Yu looked at Tian Wang with a listless expression, feeling worried after all.

Tianwang is the eldest son, logically speaking, he should stay in front of the mourning hall until the funeral.But after all, he is only a four-year-old child, and he has encountered such a big change, and he has gone through the hardships of the journey.

Chu Yu thought for a while, then called Cao Song to her, "The second old lady misses the eldest grandson of Tianwang the most, since Tianwang has arrived in Beijing, let his elder brother take him into the city to greet the second old lady, and then start to watch the spirit when he comes back. "

Cao Song has nothing to say about the orders of his cousin and filial piety.

Seeing that it was time to close the city gate, Tianyou didn't delay any longer, leaving Hang Seng and Chang Sheng here to help, and brought Tianwang into the city.

In Cao's residence, Mrs. Zhao Jia was already looking forward to seeing her, and she was talking about Tianwang with Mrs. Li.

Although Mrs. Li felt sorry for the loss of her mother, nephew and grandson, of course she missed her grandchildren more.

Tianyou is only a half-grown child, not to mention taking care of such a big event when he is away from home.

When Tianyou brought Tianwang over, Mrs. Zhao Jia and Mrs. Li were both happy and sad, and pulled their grandson to them.

Tianyou went to the south of the Yangtze River twice this year. The last time he followed the prince's elder brother, but he was just an attendant. This time, he took care of the family affairs alone as the eldest son. His demeanor was different, and he looked more stable.

Mrs. Li felt relieved when she saw her, and kept nodding and saying "Good boy".

Zhao Jia couldn't bear it any longer, hugged Tianwang in his arms, and began to cry.

Tianwang had already remembered that when he first met his grandmother, he was cautious, but now he remembered someone, put his arms around Zhao Jia's neck, and cried "wow"...

Since Jinghui's coffin arrived in Beijing, the Cao family took care of the funeral.

Except for the two elders, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao Jia, who were too old to make a fuss, everyone else got busy.

Chuyu and sister-in-law Chunhua took turns every two days to take care of their two nieces at Wuta Temple and receive female guests; for the official guests, it was Cao Xiang and Tianyou who took turns to receive the guests of the hanging ceremony on behalf of the Cao family.

Tianwang was left in Cao's residence for two days, and after his spirit recovered, he was still sent to Wuta Temple.

Cao Yong also went out of the city every now and then to see his cousin and niece.

Because there are elders in the second room, Jinghui can only stay for 35 days.

In this way, the "first seven", "three sevens" and "fifth sevens" will be dealt with in a big way.

Apart from other things, Tianyou's wedding will definitely be postponed.

In the next month of August, the two families set Tianyou's wedding date at the beginning of October.But now, because of the funeral of the second wife, Tianyou has to serve five months of minor work, and the wedding has to be postponed.

As early as the news of the funeral reached the capital, Cao Yong went to Prince Jane's mansion in person, mentioned this matter, and tentatively proposed that the wedding date be postponed until after the service is released next year, and the specific date is to be determined.

Now that God Bless has arrived in Beijing, besides going home, the second stop is Prince Jane's Mansion.

Dading was postponed, and marriage was postponed again. Although they all had to be postponed, it's no wonder that Yaerjiang Ah Neng was happy.

It's not that I can't wait to marry my daughter, but I feel that the marriage between the two families is too unsatisfactory, and I feel a little conflicted.

It’s just that Cao Yong is Liu Gege’s future father-in-law, and Yaerjiang is dissatisfied in his heart, and it’s not easy to turn against him; when Tianyou comes, seeing that his forehead and eyes are tired, Yaerjiang said in his stomach Not coming out, I asked a few words in a lukewarm manner, but I choked myself enough.

When Tianyou left, Yaerjiang couldn't help complaining to his wife: "Did I pick the wrong person? Zhener passed away, and she was also the eldest daughter-in-law... To be honest, the eldest daughter-in-law in this honorable family lived a long life. It’s really not many... The second wife of the Cao family, I heard that she is not very old..."

Yong Jiayuan also felt a little uncomfortable because of the postponement of the wedding, but after hearing what her husband said, she couldn't laugh or cry: "Why did you think of this? Although Zhen'er married as the eldest daughter-in-law, Cao's family has a simple population and is cleaner than a small family. ..."

Yaerjiang said indignantly: "What's wrong with the lack of people? The upper two layers of mothers-in-law, none of them can be neglected. The lower sister-in-law and uncle are all ready... When Qi Gege and Ba Gege go out, they must find someone who is more worry-free... ..."

When Yongjia heard this, she couldn't help covering her sleeves and laughing.

Yaerjiang glanced at her sideways, and said, "What is Fujin laughing at? It's just that that brat from the Cao family..."

Yong Jia said: "I was thinking, if I really choose my son-in-law according to the prince's choice, I'm afraid I can only find it in the book..."

Yaerjiang raised his eyebrows: "In the book, which book..."

Yongjia said: "In "Journey to the West", the monkey grandson in it jumped out of the stone and was born with it..."

Yaerjiang was choked speechless, and after a while he hummed twice: ""Journey to the West" is a banned book, I didn't expect that Fujin, who attaches the most importance to rules, would read banned books especially..."

This time, it was Yongjia who was choked speechless...

The deceased is gone.

No matter how heavy the pain is, as time goes by, it will fade a little bit.

Jinghui's coffin arrived in Beijing on September 23, stayed in Wuta Temple for 35 days, and was buried on October 28.

Bai Facts was too painful, Cao Yong and Chu Yu both breathed a sigh of relief when Jinghui's coffin was buried in the ground.

Whether it is an adult or a child, they have reached their limit. If they continue, they may not be able to bear it.

Because it was a big funeral ceremony, Jinghui was sent off for the last time. Except for Wu'er in the palace, several married aunts of the Cao family came to see her off for the last time.

This made the people who came to accompany the sacrifice truly realize the power of the married aunt of the Cao family.

Those who saw Cao Yong sick and weak earlier, and Cao Song wanted to add insult to injury when he encountered a lawsuit, are now secretly glad.

Even if the men of the Cao family are unsuccessful, with the two aunts as the mistresses of the prince's mansion, they can take care of their natal family for ten or eight years.

You must know that banner people value in-laws, and the Yue family, in-laws, and brother-in-law are all noble relatives.Inevitably, some people were tempted to inquire about the girl from the Cao family who had not left the cabinet.

After knowing that there are only five sisters in the older generation, and the fifth one has already entered the palace as the prince Shu Fujin, everyone can only sigh.

The girls of the younger generation, the eldest daughter of the first house has already been assigned to the University Scholars House, and the two daughters of the second house will miss the draft next year due to their mother's death.

No matter how evil the gossip about Cao Song's questioning was, just seeing Cao Song sending his wife as a first-class bodyguard, everyone knew in their hearts that the family of the Cao family was still there.

The wives who came to pay homage, someone inquired about the ages of Nong Chao's sisters, and knew that even if Nong Yu was postponed to next year, she would have to participate in the draft four years later, so she set her sights on Nong Chao.

Among the "five don't marry" is "do not marry a widow or elder daughter", but Nongchao is [-] this year and will be a hairpin next year, and his upbringing is visible, so "no religious precepts" really doesn't fit.

Although there is no reason for filial piety to talk about relatives, there are still a few families who gave Nengchao a heavy meeting gift, and their words also showed some tone.

Although Cao Yong had decided to refuse Li Wei's marriage proposal, it was not easy to bypass Cao Song, so he still mentioned it to Cao Song.

Cao Song just snorted coldly and said, "It's just a good word. If you really have the heart, why isn't he the eldest son, who can't be the daughter-in-law of Li's parents? Li Xingyuan is not very old, so why not wait three years?"

Seeing that his words were unclear, Cao Yong frowned and said, "If it's Li Xingyuan, the second younger brother will nod?"

Cao Song quickly shook his head and said: "Brother, I just said that, who cares about the failure of the Li family... There are many concubines in the inner courtyard of the Li family, who knows if the younger ones will follow suit?"

Although Cao Yong blamed Li Wei in his heart, he didn't want his cousin to have a knot in his heart, and said: "Li Wei and we are not the same way, it's my fault, I encourage you to get close to him... From now on, I will stay away from him. good……"

Cao Song was stunned, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Got it..."

From the end of September to the end of October, the Cao family was busy with funeral affairs. The major event on the court side was the "nine white tribute" of the Khalkha kings.

The "Nine White Tribute" this time is different from previous years. Instead of envoys, several young princes came.

Although the emperor's plan to re-divide Khalkha's power has not yet been implemented, the Chechen Khan and Tuxietu both have the intention to get close to the court.

Perhaps, from the bottom of their hearts, they are more willing to maintain a close relationship with the imperial court, but the son of King Zhasak Tubu Khan is stationed in Beijing, and he intends to marry the princess, which has to arouse their attention.

The three divisions of Khalkha originally stood on a tripod.

If one of them gets too much support from the imperial court, it will not be a good thing for the other two.

Chechen Khan and Tushetu Khan, by coincidence, moved the idea of ​​sending the prince of the headquarters to Beijing to propose marriage.

Several unmarried Mongolian princes of the right age followed the envoys to Beijing to offer tribute, and brought two Khan's proposals.

Yongzheng originally planned to break the triad of Kalkha and expand the influence of the imperial court, but he was afraid of causing commotion, so he acted carefully and waited for a good opportunity.

In particular, the two kings of the Khan were worried that the weight was not enough. The people who were sent to Beijing this time were all the eldest sons of the princes and county kings of this department, who had the right to inherit, thinking that even if they could not catch up with the weight of the son of Zhasaktu Khan, there would be a difference Not far away, to be eligible to match another daughter of the emperor.

They didn't know, because the emperor had suffered the pain of bereavement a few days ago, and thinking of brother Thirteen, he had already made a decision in his heart to keep the fourth princess in Beijing as much as possible.

However, among the three adopted daughters of the royal family, the first two are all raised in Mongolia. It is unreasonable for the daughter of the closest brother's family to point to the capital.

In that case, I don't know what gossip the clan will have.

Originally, Yongzheng didn't think about Khalkha. He just thought that it was impossible, so he chose a son from among the princes in Horqin who did not accept the title. In that case, he could stay in Beijing without the responsibility of guarding the land. To hide my selfishness, it looks a little ugly.

The children sent by the two khan kings of Khalkha all have the right to inherit. In the future, they will either inherit the throne of the prince or the throne of the county.

If there is one Hang Seng, why can't there be a second one?
After thinking about it in his heart, Yongzheng still decided to focus on the children of the Tuxietu Khan tribe.

Since it is necessary to plan for Ling to come out from Tuxie Tuhan's department, in order to prevent Tuxie Tuhan from changing, it is most appropriate to restrain him internally.

After having this plan, Yongzheng handed over the matter of entertaining Khalkha's envoy to Hongli, and ordered the elder brother and fourth elder brother of Prince Yi's mansion to assist in this matter...

I wrote it a few days ago, I had no idea yesterday, I couldn’t hold back, and today it’s two in one.

Right to the finger, the monthly pass is double, Xiao Jiu begged for the monthly pass in a low voice. . .
