Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 314 Visiting the Golden Gate on a Business Trip
In the suburbs of Beijing, Changxindian Wharf.

Seeing his parents' boat getting farther and farther away, Cao Yong felt a little sour in his heart.The flesh and blood are parted, and we won't see each other again for a year or so.Moreover, apart from his parents, his eldest son, Tianyou, went away by boat.

When I was by my side, I didn't feel that this parting was really reluctant.He sighed, turned around, and whispered to Chu Yu beside him, "It's windy by the water, let's go back first!"

Chu Yu stared at the drifting ship in a daze, and didn't respond for a while.Cao Yong held her little hand, so quietly accompanied.

Li Ding, who came to see Li Xu off, stood a few steps away, looking at Cao Yong's young couple, who are talented and beautiful, and a pair of bi-sexual couples, feeling a little tired.The emperor's grandson princess is not only noble, but also has a good appearance, which is really cheap for Cao Yong.

He also thought about his own marriage. The day before yesterday, Mrs. Li took some of the Li family's wives to Fucha's house to visit. When they came back, they said that they were all first-class in appearance and knowledgeable, and they were worthy of being daughters of rich families.

Li Ding didn't believe it. Although he couldn't say anything in front of Mrs. Li, he asked the women who went with him in private.

The woman only said that it was good, very good, she was full of praise for her willow-leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, slender figure, and fair skin.Where is Li Ding patiently listening to these?He was somewhat unwilling, and directly asked Bi Xiangtong how it was.

The two women hesitated, but they couldn't speak.Li Ding knew in his heart that those so-called ladies from all over the world were like wooden people, and they had been heavily powdered, so they could not expect to go anywhere.Yuan was consoling himself, saying that the eldest wife of any family is like this, but it's just a decoration.

Today, seeing Princess Herui, Li Ding realized that he was just deceiving himself and others.Li's family is not as good as Cao's, his official position is not as good as Cao Yong's, and his wife's family is of course not as good as the palace.

After the boat could no longer be seen, Chu Yu looked away, raised her head, looked at Cao Yong, and asked softly, "Did God Bless know to ask Chu Yu's mother to kiss me next time?"

Cao Yong was very reluctant to be a father, not to mention that Chuyu was born with hard work in October.Cao Yong could not bear to give up, and said with a smile: "This is not good. At the end of this year, let's find a way to go back to the south for the New Year. If God blesses him by then, we can spank his ass."

Chu Yu's hands tightened, and there was a bit of anger on his face, and he said: "Just say it well, don't wait to do it!"

Cao Yong nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, I understand, I obey, madam!"

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Li Ding not far away was looking at their couple, quickly restrained Zhuang Rong, and said to Cao Yong in a low voice: "Cousin Li is still waiting, let's go back to the city!"

Now, it is the late spring season, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold.Cao Yong was afraid that Chuyu would feel depressed, so he smiled and said, "It's hard to come out once, let's not go back, and go to Xishan to enjoy the flowers." Saying this, he let go of Chuyu's hand and told her to get in the car first.

Seeing Chuyu getting into the car, he walked up to Li Ding and said, "Cousin, the weather is fine today. I plan to take my wife for a walk and return to the city later."

Li Ding glanced at the chariot not far away, and it was not the chariot of the princess according to the ritual system. He said with a smile: "It seems that my cousin has arranged it long ago. It is really enviable that such a husband and wife get along well. If so, brother I'm going back to the city first!"

Cao Yong arched his hands and sent Li Ding away, but instead of getting on the horse, he got into Chu Yu's carriage.

Chu Yu didn't watch out for him coming in, she hadn't had time to stop her tears, and she looked flustered.Cao Yong was very distressed. He stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, patted her on the back, and said: "Since you are reluctant, why do you insist on doing this? Didn't your mother tell you to take Tianyou with you? You just refused to obey."

Chu Yu lay in Cao Yong's arms and couldn't help crying.

Cao Yong regretted it very much in his heart, thinking about whether to let someone chase his parents along the way and take a boat to bring his son back; but thinking of Li's love for Tianyou, and the joy on Cao Yin's face when he saw his grandson, he finally Sighing, she whispered in Chu Yu's ear, "It's all my fault, I wronged you!"

Hearing the sound, Chu Yu gradually stopped crying, and while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she sobbed and said, "Don't do your business, it's Chu Yu's decision."

Cao Yong took out the handkerchief from Chuyu's hand, gently wiped it for her, and said: "If I hadn't had selfish intentions, how could I have made things difficult for you like this! I will never do it again, and I will never let you be wronged again. "

Chu Yu stared at Cao Yong for a while, Fang asked in a low voice: "If Chu Yu hadn't given birth to Tianyou, what would have happened?"

Cao Yong sighed and said: "It's normal not to be born, how old are you? It's not my fault, I shouldn't make you suffer from childbirth at such a young age. Speaking of it, I should wait until you are twenty years old. Better."

Cao Yong had already said these words many times, but Chu Yu didn't pay attention, and then asked: "If Chu Yu gave birth to a daughter, what would happen to the Lord?"

Seeing that Chu Yu's expression was wrong, Cao Yong was puzzled and said blankly: "Isn't a daughter better? A daughter is a little padded jacket for parents. If it is a daughter, you should cherish it a little more."

"Master is the only son...Even God Bless, there is no reason for only one brother..." Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.

Cao Yong straightened Chuyu's body and asked: "Chuyu was scared last time, and she doesn't want to have children anymore?"

Although he is a man, after all, he witnessed the pain of Chu Yu's childbirth last time.Not to mention Chuyu, even he himself feels panic about women giving birth.

Chu Yu hurriedly shook her head, and said, "Master, Chu Yu didn't mean that, but just in case the child doesn't thrive..."

Cao Yong couldn't help laughing out loud, and said to Chu Yu: "I'm only twenty, you're only eighteen, and there are still many decades to come, how many can't you give birth to?" Speaking of this, thinking about getting pregnant It's not about what happens, and I don't want to increase Chuyu's pressure, so I paused and said: "If God bless this one under our knees, it's okay. Although the only son is lonely, but seeing that the second and third brothers have also come to marry and have children You are young, and there are Hong Shu and the others. Don't worry, God bless this generation, cousins ​​are indispensable, and they will be deserted in the future. You mother, don't worry about it!"

Chu Yu smiled slightly and said nothing.Cao Yong only felt a faint smell of blood, and moved closer to Chuyu, and it really came from her.

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "I can't blame you for thinking wildly, so this is here! In this case, we can't go to Xishan, and you can't be tired. You need to adjust your breath these days."

Chu Yu blushed, looked at Cao Yong, speechless.

Because of Chu Yu's discomfort, Cao Yong had to cancel his trip to Xishan and return to the city.

As soon as he entered Beijing, he heard a servant calling "Master".He lifted the curtain of the car, and outside was the head of the concierge leading the officials of the Taipu Temple.

There must be something in the Yamen, Cao Yong thought, and got out of the carriage.

Seeing Cao Yong, the subordinate officer hastily reined in the horse, got off the horse, stepped forward and said: "The official has seen you, and finally found him!"

Cao Yong nodded his head as a gift, seeing that his face was sweating profusely and full of anxiety, he asked, "But what's going on at the other end of the yamen?"

The official replied: "That's right, my lord. The Harani Dunjing Ranch has just sent an urgent dispatch for eight hundred miles. There was little snow last year. There was a horse plague this spring, and hundreds of horses have died!"

Harani Dunjing Ranch is the left-wing ranch of Taipu Temple. It is the larger of the two ranches of Taipu Temple, with a total of more than [-] mules and horses.

Although it is not terrible to die a hundred horses, the most terrifying thing is the word "plague". If it cannot be contained, who knows how many people will die.This is the royal racecourse, which specializes in supplying royal horses.

Although Cao Yong didn't know what he could do as the deputy chief official, he also knew that it was not a free time, so he went to the car and said to Chu Yu through the curtain: "There is something in the yamen, I'll go and see, you go home first!"

When Chuyu answered, Cao Yong asked someone to lead the horse, and followed the official to Taipu Temple.

Xidan Archway, Taipu Temple Yamen.

Shaoqing Yiduli and Tang Zhiyu were there, and even Lu Jingyuan, who didn't care about things on weekdays, also arrived.Everyone's expressions were serious.

According to the regulations formulated in the 33rd year of Kangxi, all pastures outside Zhangjiakou have been customized.Regardless of whether it is the central ranch owned by the Taipu Temple and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the ranch under the jurisdiction of the Eight Banners, there is a school test every three years, and there are quotas for the number of breeding and killing.If the number of breeding exceeds the quota, there will be rewards; if the number of killed exceeds the quota, it will be punished.

The number of dead horses per hundred horses does not exceed eight horses, which is regarded as the superior grade. The deputy herdsman, chief shepherd, wing leader, deputy manager, chief manager, superior adjutant, and chief officer all receive rewards and punishments as usual; if the number of dead horses exceeds [-], then That is, everyone will be punished.

The plague is the worst, and who knows how many horses will die in the end.Although Beijing officials like them are not likely to be whipped like those at the ranch, if there is a big problem at the ranch, it is considered light to be downgraded from one level to three.Not to mention, this year is Jiazi Wanshou, the fact that horse plague is rampant is really bad luck.

Seeing that everyone had a bitter face, Cao Yong asked Lu Jingyuan, "Lord Lu, how do you deal with such things when things like this usually happen?"

Lu Jingyuan stroked his beard and said, "I'll tell the Lord Long Live first, and then I'll ask you to go to the ranch to check and verify."

Cao Yong stood up and said to everyone: "Since that's the case, it's okay for us to sigh. If you are going to Zhangjiakou..." At this point, he glanced at everyone and said, "If If you really want to go out of Beijing, I will go with Mr. Tang for a while, and I will trouble Mrs. Lu and Mr. Yi with the affairs of the yamen!"

Everyone stood up and said, "Yes, I respect your lord's arrangement!"

Cao Yong nodded, and said to Tang Zhiyu: "Master Tang can send someone to go home and pack their luggage. If the official please make an order, we will leave Beijing today!"

Tang Zhiyu bowed in response: "Yes, my lord!"

Cao Yong went out of the yamen, sent Xiaoman back to the mansion first, packed up the washing things, and went to Changchun garden by himself.

Along the way, there are all kinds of gorgeous carriages oncoming. They are Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han troops from the Eight Banners who came back from Changchun Garden, and women over 70 years old.

Kangxi was sincere and filial, and after organizing the banquet for the elderly, he also ordered the old lady of the Eight Banners to pay her respects in the Queen Mother's Palace.Although there is no fanfare like the banquet for the elderly, it is also watched by the empress dowager and the emperor, who presents tea, fruit, wine, food, etc.

Because of the sign of the guard's office, Cao Yong didn't have to wait outside the garden, and went directly into the garden.He was thinking whether to go to the guards to inquire about the location of Sheng Jia, when he saw the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother coming over.

Seeing Cao Yong coming over in regular clothes, Elder Sixteen was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It doesn't look like he wants to see you, so you're looking for me, right?"

Cao Yong looked down, and then he remembered that since he saw it, he should change his official uniform.He greeted the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother with a smile, and then said: "Look at me, I came in a hurry, and I forgot to wear an official uniform. My lord, do you know who is the one who passed the badge today?" My lord, I'll see if I can borrow a suit of clothes."

Brother Sixteen waved his hand and said: "Even if someone is waiting to see you, you can still wear their clothes? Either you are fat, or you are short and thin, and it doesn't fit you. If you ask them to borrow it, why don't you go to the guards?" Anyway, Huang Ama also knows that you helped in the garden a few days ago."

Cao Yong thanked Elder Sixteen for his advice, Elder Seventeen smiled and asked, "What is it? I remember hearing that Elder Sixteen you went out of the city today to see off your father. Why did you rush back to the garden to see Huang Ama?" ?”

Cao Yong was thinking about whether the matter of the racecourse was a secret, when he saw Elder Sixteen looking over with a little worry.After thinking about it, he explained the matter simply.This was originally a royal ranch, and the two elder brothers didn't have any reason to make use of it.

Brother Sixteen and Brother Seventeen frowned upon hearing this.The sixteenth elder brother was a little worried, and said: "This is not good news. In case Huang Ama gets angry... Huang Ama is wise, and he should not punish you. He just wants to guard against impeachment by the imperial censor." Speaking of this, sigh He took a deep breath and said: "If they are targeted, your help at the guard's office these few days will be over, and a charge of dereliction of duty will not escape."

Cao Yong smiled wryly, it seemed that he really couldn't be lazy, and after only a few days of leisure, the sequelae came.

He couldn't help cursing inwardly, whoever said that the Taipu Temple is a light government office is simply nonsense!Even if it is the capital city, thousands of miles away from the ranch, the "continuous sitting" system is in place there, and if it is not guaranteed, one day it will be the crime of being demoted and dismissed from office.
