Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 142
Dongjiang Rice Lane, Chunwang Mansion, Die Fuxuan.

Hearing the smug laughter of elder brother Sixteen, Cao Yong only felt his scalp tingling, but he had to follow Chunjun Wang's arrangement and follow him to greet the kings and grandsons.

King Chunjun stood up from the chair. Cao Yong remembered that his legs and feet were inconvenient. He originally wanted to step forward to help him, but after thinking about it, he stopped. He just followed him two steps away in a regular manner and did not look at him. legs.

King Chunjun's legs were caused by his previous expedition to Galdan with Kangxi, so he didn't need crutches, but his feet were a little short.

Cao Yong calculated the years in his mind, at that time the man in front of him was just a young prince of fifteen or sixteen years old, and he went out with the emperor's father and brothers, if it wasn't for the youth's bravery, how could the dignified prince be injured?It also has some youthful ambitions!However, this is also a blessing in disguise.Among the princes of Kangxi, this one was one of the few who died well.If it were not for the young man's injury, there would be no years of silence that followed, and he would inevitably be dragged into the murky waters of winning the throne just like other elder brothers.Misfortunes come and blessings come, and they depend on each other in the end.

Those princes of Baylor, no matter what they think about Cao Yong in their hearts, in this Chunjun palace, with Pingjun Wang Naersu watching beside him, who can show some displeasure unknowingly?What's more, this marriage was bestowed by the Lord Long Live.Naturally, everyone was smiling, the elders nodded in return, and those who were equal to Cao Yong hugged each other.

After Cao Yong saw the ceremony, Na Ersu was afraid that he would be bored, so he called him to talk.At this point, Cao Yong was relieved.

Among the several princes who are older than the Chunjun King, the Crown Prince is accompanying him in the Changchun Garden, and the third and fourth elder brothers are busy with errands, so they can only come after the banquet.

Among the people present, only the fifth elder brother is older than the Chunjun King, and needs to be accompanied by the Chunjun Prince.He glanced at Cao Yong, and said to the king of Chunjun: "Lao Qi, this son-in-law is a good choice. Although Cao's family background is ordinary, Cao Yin has the title of uncle at present, so it will fall on Cao Yong in the future." ! Da Gege will be in the capital in the future, under your nose, eating sand is no better than eating sand on the grassland! How many princesses and princesses who marry on the grassland can live a long life!"

While talking, the steward came to report, and Prince Yarjan of Heshuojian arrived.Yaerjiang'a not only has a high title, but also is of the same generation as the princes, and is also older, so the fifth elder brother and the king of Chunjun stood up to greet him.

Although King Chunjun acted in a low-key manner, he was very popular among the clan, and Yaerjiang treated him very affectionately.They were not much different in age, talking and laughing as if they were close friends.

Looking at the "uncle and uncle" who was looking at the room in front of him, Cao Yong felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look over to Elder Sixteen.Before leaving the palace, the two of them agreed that they would find out after they came here to give gifts.It happened that the sixteenth elder brother was also very annoyed by the entertainment, so he said something to the tenth elder brother and got up.

After pulling King Chunjun aside, Brother Sixteen said that he would go to Changchun Garden to meet him, so he didn't stay any longer.Naturally, Cao Yong also wanted to accompany him.

Chunjun Wang knew that he couldn't sit still, Cao Yong was a little cautious, and his heart softened, so he nodded and agreed.

The sixteenth elder brother, as if he had received an amnesty, took a look and pulled Cao Yong to retreat.But he wanted to go to the theater, and he wanted to wait until he heard the play before going out of the city.

Just arrived at the Lion's Court, before going out, almost knocked down by someone running towards him, Elder Sixteen frowned and said, "Are you rushing to the funeral?"

The man hurriedly made amends: "Forgive me, Master Sixteen, this slave is so anxious that he can't stop."

"Do you recognize me? Which mansion? It's so hot, do you know some rules?" Elder Sixteen asked after flicking the ashes on his clothes.

The man hurriedly replied: "The slave belongs to Prince Jian's residence, and I saw the Sixteenth Lord in spring. We, Fujin, are dying, so the slave came to invite our prince back."

Brother Sixteen was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands: "I can't blame you for being like this, go quickly, don't delay!"

Arriving at the stage of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, Elder Sixteen found out that there was no play for Yang Zimo and Liu Zidan, so he lost interest in watching the play. He didn't even enter the courtyard, so he said goodbye to Cao Yong and took people out of the city to Changchun Garden up.

Cao Yong rode on the horse and strolled back home, thinking about the age of Prince Jane, but in his thirties, so should Fujin, who was about to die of illness, but he didn't know what the disease was.It wasn't that he was worrying blindly, but he thought of himself. If history hadn't changed, he would have died of illness. It seemed that he died in the capital when he was in his 20s.What is the disease?

After many years of exercise when he was a child, Cao Yong's body is very good now, but after all, he is a little worried, thinking about whether to ask a doctor to check him again.

Before arriving at the gate of the mansion, Cao Yong saw a man wearing a new official uniform wandering outside the gate, who happened to be looking at Cao Yong and his party.

Seeing Cao Yong dismounting at the gate of the mansion, another porter came out to welcome him, but he didn't seem to be entertaining guests.The man took two steps forward and said with a smile on his face, "Excuse me, are you the eldest son of the Cao family?"

Cao Yong glanced at that person, but he had never seen him before. 25. At the age of six, he looks thinner, with frog eyes, and a fake smile.Cao Yong handed the whip in his hand to Xiaoman, and said: "It is Cao, may I ask your lord?"

The man stretched out his new clothes, intentionally straightened his chest against Lu Bufu, and said with a smile: "This is Hu Jiren, the head of the Household Department. Today, besides visiting relatives in Zunfu, I just want to see Young Master Cao! "

Although Cao Yong is unwilling to judge people by their appearance, Hu Jiren's winking appearance is really not very flattering.Just hearing the word "visiting relatives", he was a little surprised. Why didn't he know whose relative in the mansion was a sixth-rank Beijing official, so he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask respected relatives?"

"My cousin is the Zijing girl in the son's mansion!" Hu Jiren said with a smile, "I came here today to ask you to see the son, just to redeem my cousin."

Cao Yong frowned slightly, since he came to this world, Amethyst was in the old lady's yard, originally thought she was a child of the family.When the old lady passed away, Zijing had nowhere to go, so he knew that Zijing was bought from outside, and he asked her parents and relatives, but he said that they were all gone, so why did another cousin come out ?
"Ziru is getting old, oh, this is Zijing's real name, and the son must not bear to be lonely. I just got promoted, and my wife is not in the capital. I redeemed my cousin like this. I can't bear to wrong her, so I accept it." She is the second wife! When the time comes, I will invite Mr. Cao to drink a glass of water and wine..." Hu Jiren said more and more beautifully, and he almost danced.

Want to redeem Amethyst as a second bedroom?Seeing Hu Jiren's filthy appearance, Cao Yong was furious, but suppressed his anger and said, "Are you two distant relatives?"

Hu Jiren quickly shook his head: "Not a distant relative, Ziru's mother is my real aunt, and we are real cousins!"

"Did you arrive in Beijing recently? Or did you hear about Amethyst recently?" Cao Yong continued to ask.

Hu Jiren said with a little pride: "The person who entered Beijing the year before last was a Jinshi in the spring list last year. A few years ago, I heard that Ziru was in Cao's house. Because the road is far away in Huguang's hometown, I have never had time to see her. Until Recently, I found out that she is in Beijing, so I came here eagerly!" Speaking of this, he sighed regretfully and said, "Before my late mother was alive, I missed this niece the most. Now that I know that I have found her, even if it is Huang Quanxia is also pleased!"

Cao Yong pondered and said: "Since she is Zijing's cousin, why do you still want to accept her as a concubine? Isn't this wronging her?"

Hu Jiren heard this, and couldn't help opening his eyes wide: "Should I promote her as the second wife or wrong her? Besides, how can it be her turn to be wronged? If it wasn't for the marriage contract when I was young, and the deceased mother swore to let me find her before she was alive, why would I want a maid to do it?" The second room..." Before he finished speaking, the person was already kicked out, and the second half of the sentence in his mouth lingered.

He fell on all fours, got up on the ground with hands and feet, rubbed his buttocks with his hands, pointed at Cao Yong and said, "You, how do you kick people, I'm an official of the imperial court!"

Cao Yong didn't even look at him, and said to the porter: "In the future, there will be a mad dog running around in front of the door, first discount his legs with a big stick!"

The concierge accompanied Xiaoxin and said: "Master, he claims to be Miss Zijing's relative, and Miss Zijing just saw him again, so it's not good for you guys to kick him out directly."

Cao Yong heard that Hu Jiren had already seen Zijing, he felt a little worried, he didn't know what he would do, and told the concierge not to show mercy in the future, he walked quickly into the mansion.

Who the hell is this person?Now that she has a marriage contract, she has known for a long time that Zijing is a slave, but she ignores it because "the road is far away and there is no space".From Huguang to Jiangning, or from Huguang to Beijing?What a jerk!Not to mention breaking his trust and marrying another, now he dares to marry Amethyst as a concubine with the cheek. Thinking of this, Cao Yong really has the urge to take a stick and teach that bastard a lesson.But right now, let’s go to Amethyst’s side first.

When Kui Yuan went to the room, everything seemed to be as usual.Seeing Cao Yong coming in, Zijing was a little surprised: "Isn't Chun Wang's mansion eating wine? Why did the uncle come back so early?"

Cao Yong looked at her carefully, and saw that although she was smiling, her eye circles were slightly red, obviously she had already cried, so she waved Zhu'er and the others to go down first.

"Have you seen that person?" Cao Yong asked with a little concern: "Are you all right?"

Zijing shook her head slightly: "It's okay, listening to the uncle's question, it seems that I saw the servant's cousin at the door! I thought that the relatives would never see each other again, but I didn't expect him to come. I just heard that my aunt After passing away for many years, I couldn't help being a little sad, but I'm worried about it, so I'm going to go outside to get some clothes!"

Cao Yong saw that Zijing didn't want to continue this topic, so he didn't ask any more. He thought in his heart to find out where that kid came from, and see if he could follow him to find Zijing's other relatives.

Just after Cao Yong changed his clothes, Cao Song came in to greet him with a smile.

Seeing his happy face, Cao Yong smiled and said, "Going out to drink again? Why are you so happy."

Cao Song smiled and said, "No, I'm going to listen to the play. Ke Ziqing's "Single Whip Seizes the Lever"!" As he spoke, he began to talk happily, making gestures occasionally, which was quite impressive.After talking about martial arts, he remembered that it was a pleasure to hit a rogue today, so he also talked about it with Cao Yong.

When Cao Yong heard that Baoya was going to the theater disguised as a man, he couldn't help but frowned: "I have to persuade her carefully. There are all kinds of people in that place, and it's not convenient to reveal their identities. What if I suffer a disadvantage?"

Cao Song didn't take it seriously: "She is taking people with her, and I haven't seen her suffer a lot." Suddenly remembering Liu Zidan's incident, he said: "But today she still said she would never go again, Liu Zidan, the pillar of the Sanxi class, ran away Already!"

Cao Yong remembered the one named Liu Zidan and asked, "How do you say that?"

Cao Song talked about how he saw Baoya today.

It turned out that after Cao Song left school, he followed Feng De, Feng Che and He Lian to the Sanxi Troupe to listen to the opera.

Before they entered the door, Cao Song saw an acquaintance before they could find a seat.I saw a young man standing not far away, wearing a black six-panel brocade cap, eight arrow sleeves of lilac satin silk tapestry, a bright silver inlaid jade belt around his waist, and tiger-headed cloud thick-soled boots. Indescribably handsome and suave, isn't it Bao Yagege who disguises herself as a man?
But at this moment, Baoya didn't have the cute and naive smile of the past at all, but her face was full of power, her brows were furrowed, and she glared angrily at the two rascals who were being twisted and shoved by the guards of the palace.One of the two had obviously been slapped by Bao Yagege, and there was a five-finger slender palm print on his face.

This is not the first time Cao Song has seen such a scene. During the few months when Sheng Jia was not in Beijing, he had encountered Bao Ya many times who came out to watch a play disguised as a woman.

Bao Ya really doesn't look like a boy, even in men's clothes, she still has a soft butt, because she deliberately conceals her gender and goes to and from theaters, she is treated as a child molester by some of her disciples.Although she is dressed in extraordinary clothes and has a few loyal palace guards as bodyguards, she still has a lot of color and boldness from time to time, relying on her wealth or power to ignore the fact that she may be a wealthy child, tease her with words, and even use her hands and feet.

Cao Song also punched to help with the cooking, so naturally he wanted to persuade Baoya to come less.But it is rare for Baoya to be at ease, how can he still listen to Cao Song?Naturally, they sneaked out again and again.There were guards on the left and right, those people were just asking for some lip service, but they were repaired by the guards in the end, so she had no fear in her heart.

Today, Baoya sneaked out while her elder brother and sister-in-law were out to socialize, and as a result, she met Deng Tuzi again.
