Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 310 Calling on the Golden Gate Marriage

Hearing Lu Bohe's question about the reason for retiring, Li Xu thought for a while, and replied: "A few years ago, my nephew was ill, and the child was sick at the bedside, and became sick from overwork, and then fell ill. Later, I don't know how to spread rumors, spread When I went to the other party's house, I thought that the child would not live long enough to cause people to withdraw from the marriage." Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Speaking of which, it's my nephew who delayed him."

After hearing this, Lu Bohe looked at Li Ding with some inquiring eyes.

Li Xu said: "If the child is weak, my nephew would not dare to send him to serve in the imperial court. Now, thanks to the grace of Lord Long Live, it is really his blessing to serve in Qianqing Palace."

This sentence made Ruberhe feel relieved, not everyone can enter the guard's office.Although Li Ding was appointed as a bodyguard because of his father's shade, but if his health was really bad, the Li family would not dare to send him to the imperial court as a bodyguard.To do otherwise would be a crime of disrespect.

Fu Nai was beside him, but he was a little annoyed, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly.Yuan didn't think anything of it, the Li family pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, and broke off their marriage with Dong E's family, which is also understandable.Now when he heard the old reasons mentioned, he realized that the one who was divorced was none other than his wife's niece.I'm afraid that when the Li family got married, they had to mention Fu Ding as well.

After hearing this, Li Xu realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.He was afraid that Fu Nai might say something unpleasant, so he got up immediately, smiled and said to Lu Bohe: "It's not early today, and my nephew has to go to Cao's Mansion in Xicheng, so I won't bother you anymore today!"

Hearing the words "Cao's Mansion in the west of the city", Lu Bohe couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and he became more and more certain about this marriage in his heart.If he is really married to the Li family, he will have relatives from the Cao family in the future.

When Fu Nai heard about Cao's family, his expression was a little stiff and he stopped talking.

Li Xu smiled and bid farewell to Lu Bohe, Baer Sai and Fu Nai. Apart from Lu Bohe, Baer Sai and Fu Nai got up and sent the Li family father and son outside the gate.

After coming out of Lu Bohe's house, Li Xu, Li Ding and his son walked side by side, Li Ding asked: "Father, it's getting dark, shall we really go to Cao's house?"

Li Xu nodded with a smile, and said: "Yes, there are other things to do tomorrow morning, why not go down and have a look now. Seeing what Lu Bohe means, he is also willing to marry our family. Strike while the iron is hot, please ask your aunt Two days is to see each other, if the girl is good, then it will be settled."

Li Ding was a little disappointed. Although Fucha's family also had the same surname as Xiangbaiqi, and many children were officials, the lady he wanted to marry had no father or mother. Although his grandfather was still alive, how many years would he be able to take care of him?I also remembered that Ms. Dong E, who had arranged a marriage earlier, was also an orphan. Could it be that she was not related to her father-in-law, so she was destined not to be able to borrow the strength of her wife and family?
Li Xu saw his son's insufficiency, frowned and said: "If this marriage is successful, it is already very respectable. Although the Fucha family is not doing well now, it is a common Manchu surname for generations. Their family and friends are all over the place. Baqi, you have such a family of wives, you can also use your strength in the capital in the future. A lady with a common surname in Manchuria may not be as good as Gege in the palace!"

Li Ding was embarrassed by his father and didn't respond.

As the night was getting darker, lanterns had already been hung at the entrance of the Cao Mansion.A small car was parked at the corner gate, vaguely resembling a few women.

Li Ding narrowed his eyes, took a look, then turned his head and told the chief to come forward and call the door.

Hearing that it was the uncle and the young master who had arrived, the concierge went out to lead the horses for them, and at the same time called the servant to pass the news.

Cao Yin was talking with his son in the study in the front yard, and he was quite surprised to hear the Li family's father and son visit.The father and son went out to welcome Li Xu and Li Ding into the courtyard.

Seeing Cao Yin, Li Xu smiled and said, "I came here without warning for my brother, and I'm an uninvited guest, don't blame Dongting."

Cao Yindao: "Brother is heretic when he says these things, please sit in the hall quickly, just happened to get Bao Yuqian Longjing, just happened to share with elder brother."

Li Xu stroked his beard and said, "So, Dashan, it seems that my brother is still here!"

Here Li Ding and Cao Yong have already greeted the elders respectively, and then the two greeted each other.

When everyone came to the hall, apart from the two main seats in front of the hall, there were also two rows of redwood seats lined up.

Cao Yin asked Li Xu to go to the east to sit first, and then accompanied him by the Prime Minister, and asked Li Ding to sit also.

Li Ding couldn't sit opposite his father and Cao Yin, so he took the third chair on the west side.Cao Yong had no choice but to sit next to Li Ding.

I remember that when I was drinking with Nalan Fusen and Li Ding a few days ago, I heard them mention that they were on duty on the [-]th. Now that Sheng Jia is in the garden, how did Li Ding come back?Thinking of this, Cao Yong asked in a low voice: "Cousin is the first shift?"

Li Ding nodded with a smile, and said: "That's right, it was morning to Si, because my father was in Beijing, and I didn't stay at the other end of the garden after finishing his work."

After saying this, both Cao Yong and Li Ding were stunned.Cao Yong asked casually, and Li Ding answered frankly, as if the relationship between the two was so close.Actually, not at all.

Although Li Xu was exchanging greetings with Cao Yin, he also paid attention to his son's relationship with Cao Yong from the corner of his eyes.Seeing that the two of them looked harmless, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face.

Cao Yong thought of the Li family, and also of Gao Taijun in the Li family.He is a son of man, so he can naturally think of his mother's filial piety to his grandmother.Besides, in the eyes of the world, Cao and Li are like-minded.Thinking of this, his dissatisfaction with the Li family and his son eased a little.

However, Li Ding couldn't help becoming alert, he just felt that this cousin was too sophisticated and too contrived in front of his parents.Even in the Shichahai house a few days ago, it was not necessarily that he was so close.

Thinking of Shichahai, Li Ding thought of Yang Ruixue, and looked at Cao Yong with complicated meanings in his eyes.Cao Yong's filial piety period has not yet expired, if there is a dispute about whoring and staying with prostitutes, his reputation will be over.

However, he turned to think of his father's admonition, and remembered the smile on his face when he heard "Cao's Mansion" in Lu Bohe, the Fucha's family, and immediately stopped thinking about teaching Cao Yong.What my father said was right, the two families of Cao and Li would benefit from cooperation, and harm from separation.For the Cao family, they can only rely on and win over, and it is of no benefit to calculate and suppress.

Wanting to understand this, Li Ding's attitude became a bit more friendly, and said: "Cousin, I'd better go to the guards when I'm free. Brother Nalan, those colleagues who have made friends with each other, miss my cousin very much. I know My cousin was promoted to Taipu Temple, and they all clamored for my cousin to treat me."

Although these guards of the Qianqing Palace were all selected from the honorable families of the Shangsan Banners, perhaps because of the warriors, they were all much more straightforward, and rarely had those messy strife.Speaking of which, during the past few years when Cao Yong was on duty, he was still the most comfortable and leisurely during the few months at the guard's office.

Li Xu exchanged a few pleasantries over there, and he had already gotten to the point: "Dongting, I'm here tonight for my brother, and I have something to ask for." As he said that, he wanted to make an engagement for his son, and asked his younger sister Li Shi to help him with the matter of seeing each other. Said in a few words.

Cao Yin said with a smile: "I only heard that elder brother is busy with these things recently, but I didn't expect to have a clue now. Which girl is it, lucky to be in the eyes of elder brother?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "It's not considered an outsider, she is Fu Nai's cousin Fucha, the granddaughter of Ru Bohe, the governor of Manchuria in the Yellow Banner."

When he heard the name of "Fu Nai", Cao Yin stopped laughing and said calmly, "Oh, so it's his family!"

Seeing Cao Yin like this, Li Xu couldn't help persuading him: "It's been all these years, Dongting shouldn't bother with him! I heard that when Fu Ruo got married, he also came here eagerly. No matter what, Chang Ling is always you My nephew. Even if it’s not for Fu Nai’s sake, it’s for my nephew’s sake!”

Cao Yin didn't answer, and said: "The Fucha family can be considered a big family, and I think she is a good girl."

Since it was a private matter of the Cao family, Li Xu couldn't say much, so he changed the subject.

This time Li Xu came to beg for Li Ding's lifelong affairs, so Cao Yin sent a servant to pass a message to the second door, asking Li Shi to come out and meet.

Mrs. Li had just sent her mother-in-law to Chu Yu's residence to deliver things to Chu Yu, and she was sitting by the kang coaxing Wu'er to talk.Seeing that the palace was busy, Chuyu had to take care of Fujin, and had no time to take care of Wu'er and Tianyou, so Li asked her to hug the two younger ones, and came back together.

Tianyou had already gone to bed after breastfeeding; but Wu'er couldn't see Chuyu, her little face was bitter, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Mrs. Li is kind-hearted, and she has so much compassion for this poor niece. Seeing her like this, she couldn't bear it, hugged her in her arms, and coaxed: "My son, your sister-in-law has gone to take care of her mother-in-law, and she will be back tomorrow." .”

Wu'er raised her small face, tightened her face, and said in a childish voice: "Sister-in-law, sister, beat someone, how about beating sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Li remembered that when Miss Jin's family was fighting with Wu Gege in the afternoon, Wu'er was there, and she must have been frightened.Seeing that her sister-in-law stayed there and did not come home, Wu'er worried that her sister-in-law would also be beaten.

Seeing her being so cute and caring, Li Shi couldn't help but smile more on her face, touched Wu'er's head, and said: "Wu'er, don't worry, no one dares to bully your sister-in-law!"

*
Chunjun Prince's Mansion, the main house in the inner courtyard.

The lamps were already lit in the room, Chun Wang Fujin was lying on the kang, his teeth were clenched, his face was sallow, and sweat broke out from time to time on his forehead.Chu Yu sat by the edge of the kang, took a handkerchief in her hand, and gently wiped it for her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chu Yu turned her head and saw that it was her father who came, so she hurriedly stood up.

Seventh elder brother glanced at his first wife lying on the kang, lowered his volume and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chu Yu replied in a low voice: "I vomited again just now, and vomited out all the previous medicine. After struggling for a long time, I finally closed my eyes for a while."

Seventh elder brother nodded, wanted to speak, but was afraid of disturbing Fujin, so he turned and walked to the outer hall.Chu Yu also followed.

Seeing Chuyu's pale face, Seventh Brother felt distressed, and said, "You've been busy for a while, go back to your room and rest early, don't be exhausted!"

"Daughter is not in the way!" Chu Yu said, "If Ama is not in this yard tonight, my daughter wants to stay by Fujin's side to serve her."

Seventh elder brother nodded, he originally thought that he was going to rest in the side Fujin Barda's house, but thinking that the eldest daughter was in the mansion, he asked someone to carry a lamp and go to the side Fujin Nala's courtyard.

Just a few steps out of the main courtyard, Brother Qi saw two brothers Hong Zhuo and Hong Xin coming out of the courtyard.

Because they learned the rules of toasting at the clan mansion, Hong Zhuo and Hong Xin didn't return to the mansion until two nights.

Seeing the seventh elder brother, both Hong Zhuo and Hong Xin stopped to greet their father.Seventh elder brother looked at his daughter's courtyard and asked, "Wu Gege has gone? Who is there?"

Hong Zhuo replied: "Just now, Fujin was on the same side as Erniang, and now everyone has gone back, only the second sister said she would stay here to take care of the fifth sister."

Seventh elder brother saw that his son was about to catch up with him, and he already knew about the affair, so he considered whether he should be removed from the inner house.Not only Hong Zhuo, Hong Xin is also twelve.

However, now that Fujin was ill, it was not the time to mention this, Brother Qi waved his hands and told his sons to go down, and went to Nala's room by himself.When he got to the gate of Nala's courtyard, he remembered that he had agreed with Barda to get up early, and he must be waiting there.So, he sent the girl who followed him to pass a message to the yard over there, saying that he would not go there tonight, but tomorrow night.

Nalashi was sitting on the edge of the kang, clenching his fists and sulking.Jin Qiaorong slapped him five times and made Fu Jin angry. It would be a lie to say that she didn't take pleasure in other's misfortunes.However, when she saw the young and charming Barda in Wugege's house just now, she realized that she was happy too early.

No matter how fussed Fujin was, she had no son and was not favored by the prince, so she couldn't shake Nala's status at all.The real threat is Barda who is also a side Fujin and has also given birth to an elder brother.

Of the five Fujins in the inner house, Nala's is the oldest at 36. The other Fujins are younger, also in their thirties. Only Barda's is the youngest, only 20 years old this year.

Although the seventh elder brother doesn't pay much attention to sex, but most men like the new and dislike the old, and love the young, what can Nalashi do? ——
