Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 300 Visiting the Golden Gate Hypocrite

Since entering Beijing on the tenth day of March, Cao Yong has been busy with entertainment for several days.On March [-]th, Ma Liandao invited Cao Yin and his wife to a banquet.

Although Cao Yin couldn't see Ma Liandao's behavior, after all, the two families had a friendship from their fathers and grandparents, and it would be bad if they didn't socialize.It seems that the Cao family is snobbish, because now they are raising the flag, and they look down on old friends.

Cao Yong went to the Yongwu Earl's Mansion in Xinjiekou to visit Wan Jiha, the father of Yongqing.Wan Jiha has been sick since last year, and has been recuperating in the mansion.

Regarding Cao Yong's visit, Wan Jiha's attitude was very polite, and he couldn't tell whether it was closeness or alienation.In the past six months, the neglect of the court has also made him think a lot, and he is not as keen on fame as before.

Regarding the delisting of the Yongqing family tree, although Cao Yong knew it in his heart, he only pretended not to know it on the surface. Apart from greeting Wan Jiha for his health, he only talked about some anecdotes about the capital and the officialdom.

From the beginning to the end, Wan Jiha did not mention the eldest son Yongqing who was exiled in Shengjing.Cao Yong originally wanted to ask if he had arranged for someone to pick up Yongqing in Shengjing; if not, someone has gone to Cao's mansion, do you want to send a letter?However, he finally did not speak.

Some things are family affairs of Wanyan Mansion, and it is not easy for him to intervene.

He wanted to use these days in Beijing to find a place for Yongqing to resettle, but he was afraid that Yongqing's stubborn temper would make it difficult to deal with the official strife in the capital.

After thinking about it again and again, Cao Yong decided to make arrangements after asking Yongqing's opinion, so as not to be a waste of help.Because there are those who were exiled by Kou Yan in front of them, in fact, even if they don't look for a job, it's better to be quiet for a few years, and then wait for things to calm down before becoming an official.

After talking for a quarter of an hour, when he saw Wan Jiha serving tea to see off the guests, Cao Yong got up and said goodbye.Wan Jiha pondered for a while, glanced at Cao Yong, looked a little hesitant, and finally said nothing.

Although Cao Yong is a junior, but in terms of rank, both of them are Heshuo's son-in-law.

Because he looked not in good spirits and was still panting badly, Cao Yong asked him to stop and not to see him off.

When Cao Yong came out of the living room with the housekeeper, Princess Fuhui had already made people wait outside, and asked him to meet in the hall.

Unlike Wan Jiha, Princess Fuhui treats Cao Yong more warmly than in previous years, instead he no longer puts on the airs of elders or princesses.She asked Cao Yong to meet each other. Besides thanking him, she asked Cao Yong to give Yongqing a hand if she could.

The imminent amnesty of the world, Wanyan Mansion has received the letter.

Over the past year of Yongqing's exile, Fuhui has begged Wan Jiha several times, and what he said was nothing more than how his son would be arranged after returning to Beijing.Although there was a section on removing the family tree last year, Yongqing's wife and children did not live in another house, but still lived in the Earl's Mansion.If he does not recognize his son, then his wife and granddaughter will be removed from the house.There are not many people in the family, and there is no need to live in two places.

What can Wanjiha say?In addition to the title passed down from his ancestors, he is also the head of the Wanyan family. If he protects the eldest son, Yongqing, who may endanger the family, will be made the heir again. Are those elders in the family so easy to get along with?
No matter how much his wife nagged, Wan Jiha never let go. On weekdays, he called his second son Yongsheng to his side, taught him some official experience by precept and deed, and taught him carefully.

Wan Jiha also asks Yongsheng to come forward to socialize with the officialdom and relatives.Everyone can see who the heir of the Wanyan family is.

Without a title, without the blessing of the family, how could Fuhui not worry about the eldest son?Previously, she had heard Yongsheng mention that Yongqing was able to avoid exile in Ninggu Tower, mostly because Cao Yong sent him back to Beijing for management.

No matter how arrogant Fuhui's attitude was in the past, at the moment she is just a mother who is worried about her son.Besides, even if she doesn't say these things, Cao Yong will help if he can.

Seeing that Cao Yong agreed readily, Fuhui said: "I am a mother-in-law, and I don't want him to be successful in the future. As long as he is safe, I will be at ease! Speaking of it, it is our eternal friendship to have a friend like you. Qing's blessing!" Speaking of this, he took a look at Cao Yong, sighed in his heart, and thought of his daughter Yongjia.

She has also heard some of the messy things about Prince Jane's mansion, how can she not feel wronged for her daughter?Just speaking, the daughter and Cao Yong are also predestined.Who would have thought that there would be a side issue in the Chunjun Prince's Mansion, and his side was a step late, and the marriage was not formed in the end.

Although Cao Yong could see that Fuhui looked at him with deep meaning, but he couldn't think of anything else. He only thought that she was thinking about Yongqing, so he couldn't help saying a few words of relief.

After finishing playing Yan Mansion, Cao Yong went to Ning Chun's house again, and met Ning Chun's stepmother and the younger brother who was adopted by the side branch.The child was only seven or eight years old, a little shy, and hid behind his adoptive mother, refusing to see anyone for a long time.

Ning Chun's stepmother seemed to be doting on this heir, her eyes were around the child, and she never left her side for a moment.

Because the population in the current mansion is small, and there are still some industries left by the Ning family, the livelihood here is not a problem, and there is nothing to worry about.

Cao Yong didn't sit for a long time either, and left after talking a few words with him.

Riding on the road, Cao Yong was silent for a long time.After all, I am a cowardly person. To fool myself like this, saying to myself that because I have no clues, I can't avenge Ning Chun, is in the end just saving my life.

Although there are many doubts and seem to have no clue, but there are only a few older brothers around.Perhaps it was the crown prince who wanted to silence them, or it was the eight princes who set the blame on them, or maybe it was the double blame placed on the two by a third-party force.

Just like the black shadow he had seen on the grassland back then, even though he was investigating and taking precautions when he returned to the capital, he was still unwilling to take the initiative to attack, for fear of being accidentally disturbed in the vortex of seizing the heir.

In his heart, he still wanted to be alone.But as Ning Chun's close friend, he couldn't face these things calmly, so he searched casually, saying that there was no clue, and he couldn't avenge him.Then, he lived his own little life with peace of mind.

Such hypocrisy really made him despise himself.

Not far away, there was a carriage parked, and Li Xu was sitting in it.Hearing Chang Sui Bao saying that Master Cao's Biao was in front, Li Xu raised the curtain of the car to look, but he didn't ask anyone to come forward to greet him, but avoided it.

Seeing Cao Yong riding on the horse with a gloomy face, leading a few guards, Li Xu was in a daze, feeling very strange.

Did Cao Yong encounter something extraordinary?Every time I saw him, he looked calm and breezy, and it was rare for him to have such a serious expression.

Li Ding apologized to Cao Yong yesterday to resolve the misunderstanding between the two families. Although it was in line with Li Xu's wishes, it still made him a little uncomfortable.

Whether Cao Yong is honest and honest, or astute, no one knows better than Li's father and son.Piansheng knows in his heart that they can only pretend to be confused, and if they tell the truth to others, they are also suspected of being framed by jealousy.It's depressing to say the least.Therefore, even though Li Xu was annoyed at his son's ignorance, he also slandered Cao Yong endlessly.

At a young age, with such scheming methods, how can one not make people feel defensive?Perhaps in his eyes, the so-called kinship is just bullshit.

Thinking of this, Li Xu was a little curious about Cao Yong's whereabouts. He stretched out his hand to call a confidant, pointed to the direction where Cao Yong had just come, and ordered with a bit of drunkenness: "Inquire carefully, what kind of people live around here?" People!"

"Yes, sir!" The man responded and rode his horse to the alley.

When Cao Yong led the people farther away, Li Xu put down the curtain of the carriage and told the carriage to move forward.He just came back from a social event, smelling of alcohol all over his body, with his eyes closed, he just felt his head was a little heavy.

The carriage was bumpy, and because of the wind just now, Li Xu's chest felt a little stuffy, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Li's family is in Dongcheng, this road is still far away, Li Xu thought of the house by Shichahai, so he ordered his horses to go to Shichahai.

Li Ding was led by Nalan Fusen, and several internal ministers who met with the guards were not here.

Li Xu got out of the carriage with the help of a servant, just entered the gate of the house, couldn't bear it any longer, bent over and vomited with a sound of "wow".

After a while, Li Xu vomited filth all over the place, even staining a lot on the front of his clothes and sleeves.Everyone cleaned up in a hurry, and supported Li Xu who was swaying.

The manager here is surnamed Shen, and he is the confidant of the Li family father and son.Seeing Li Xu drunk, Shen Guanshi bowed his waist and said, "Master, do you want to rest in the front or back."

Li Xu waved his hand and said: "It's the back, tell someone to boil water quickly, master, I want to pick it up."

Thinking of the person living behind, Shen Guanshi just wanted to know Li Xu, but then he thought that their father and son did not taboo about such things, so he didn't have much trouble, and personally supported Li Xu with the servant, one left and one right Went to the backyard.

Although he knew that his son sent someone to get out of this place, it was the first time Li Xu came across it.

After entering the room in the backyard, looking at the beautiful furnishings and smelling the familiar musky scent, Li Xu couldn't help laughing and said to himself: "This bastard knows how to play tricks like this!" As he said that, he couldn't help feeling a little moved in his heart.

There were two servant girls in the room. Seeing the housekeeper helping a master come in, although they didn't know who they were, they still bowed down respectfully to return the salute.

Li Xu took a few glances at the two maids, and seeing that they looked ordinary, he lost interest, and ordered the two maids to wait for him to undress.

The two servant girls hesitated, not knowing whether they should obey the order and come forward.Steward Shen glared at him, and said, "Why are you dawdling, this is my master."

The two maids stepped forward tremblingly, and helped Li Xu remove the dirty clothes outside.

Shen Guanshi didn't see that person, a little strange, he couldn't help asking the two maids in a low voice: "Where are you girls, why don't you see me?"

One of them replied: "Girl is a little tired, take a nap in the back room."

Li Xu listened, his heart moved slightly, and he told Steward Shen: "What are you still doing, go to the kitchen to get water! Then send someone back to the house to get a set of vigorous clothes."

Shen Guanshi hesitated for a moment, but complied.

Li Xu was only wearing his jacket, but still felt extremely hot, so he said to the two servant girls, "Go and make tea, watch the heat, it's better if it's hot."

After the two maids left, Li Xu looked at the door of the inner room and complained to his son.It's only been a few days since he came to Beijing, so he found someone to hide here, but he doesn't know how good-looking he is this time?Can this northern oiran be compared to southern women?
As the saying goes, wine is a sex matchmaker, because under this drunkenness, both men and women are extremely emotional.

There are seven or eight concubines in Li Xu's family, and the capital mansion has just hired two pretty maids in the past few days.With drunken eyes, he walked into the back room.

Because the curtains were hung, the room was a little dark, and there was still a faint fragrance.

In the eyes, there is a bright red curtain, and a woman is vaguely lying inside.

Li Xu walked to the bed, picked up the curtain and looked around.At a glance, there are countless black hairs scattered and two lotus root arms.

In front of the beauty, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately rushed forward.

The woman was half asleep, half awake, and did not open her eyes.

Down the corridor, two servant girls came back with tea. Just as they were about to enter the room, they heard a woman's screams coming from the room.When the one serving the tea lost his hand, the teapot and cups fell to the ground and were smashed to pieces.

The woman in the room heard someone coming, and amplified the volume: "Come on, come on!"

Just as the two maids were about to lift the curtain, they were stopped by Manager Shen who came after them.

Manager Shen scolded in a low voice: "Are you going to die? Go down quickly, no one is allowed to come to this yard without the master's order!"

Although the two servant girls were reluctant, none of them dared to disobey and went down with their heads down.

Steward Shen looked around and saw that there were no other people in the yard, so he tiptoed to the west window and listened sideways.

Manager Shen slowly opened his mouth and closed his eyes, thinking about the woman's appearance.After all, it is a good piece of meat, if I also find a chance...
