Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 338
On the side hall, Yiduli, Baizhu, Fengde, Fengche are all there, as well as several other relatives of Elder Brother Thirteen.Although everyone exchanged pleasantries, they were also full of doubts.

In the past two years, the Thirteenth Elder Mansion, which has been cold and cold, has ever seen such a scene with all the princes and princes?If it was left in other prince's mansions, the little brother was full moon, took a side Fujin, and so on, there had been such scenes.But this is the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, and this situation is quite abnormal.

Seeing the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother coming in with Cao Yong, everyone got up to salute.The sixteenth elder brother and Yi Duli are also familiar, and said with a smile: "Old Yi, alas, Cao Yong and you are colleagues now! By the way, you are still relatives, and it is cheap to get along."

Yi Duli laughed twice, and said: "Master Sixteen is right, cheap, cheap, if not, Lao Yi doesn't know that Furuo is used to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Yong with a bit of expression ambiguous.

Cao Yong blushed, knowing that he was laughing at the fact that he met Yang Ruixue that day.Although Cao Yong explained it again and again, he only said that it was an old acquaintance in the south, but how could Yiduli believe it?It was only Cao Yong's little lover in the past, but now that they are both married, it is embarrassing to meet like this.

Seeing that Cao Yong really didn't intend to rekindle his old love, Yi Duli thought of Yang Ruixue, and was still a little moved.Although the women of color here are from good families, they are just merchants, and they are very easy to get started.Therefore, he asked Cao Yong about Yang Ruixue's residence in Beijing.

Where did Cao Yong know this?Yi Duli didn't believe that he didn't know, he only thought that he was hiding something for himself, and now he deliberately slapped him a few words to hurt him.

The seventeenth elder brother didn't care, but the sixteenth elder brother heard what Yi Duli said was pointing, and after sitting down, he asked with a smile: "Furuo still has the matter of caring for the fragrance and cherishing the jade, why didn't I know about it, I thought he was just confused lumps of wood!"

Yi Duli just wanted to make fun of Cao Yong, and didn't intend to offend him, so he said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Sixteen, this is what happened. A few days ago, old Yi went to drink with Fu Ruo, and met a The handsome little daughter-in-law like a fairy was drinking, crying and shouting, saying that Fu Ruo is like her brother-in-law. If it were someone else, this cheap sister-in-law would also feel sorry for her. But Fu Ruo also looks like a brother-in-law, so she dismissed the younger brother Called the little daughter-in-law's family to help her go! If it were any other man, the meat that was brought to his mouth would be let go like this!"

Seeing these words, both the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother laughed.Elder Seventeen looked at Cao Yong, smiled and said, "Fu Ruo is steady!"

Speaking of it, he is three years younger than Cao Yong, but because he is an elder, he speaks old-fashionedly.

Brother Sixteen looked at Cao Yong, shook his head with a smile, and said: "You are a young man who is not romantic, you let such an affair go, it is really incomprehensible!"

Just listen to Bai Zhu saying from the side: "There is no wind, no waves, and flies can't be seamless eggs. Even if this woman is drunk, she won't recognize people randomly! Cao Yong, don't you have an outer room outside, and you have such a cheap one?" Auntie?"

Although Bai Zhu said it unintentionally, the words were not pleasant to everyone's ears.

Yi Duli felt a little regretful, and frowned slightly, he really shouldn't have mentioned this.Cao Yong just shook his head with a smile and didn't say much.

Bai Zhu thought he had grabbed Cao Yong's sore foot, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and smiled twice: "Look, that's what happened! But Cao Yong, you're not a man anymore. Seeing this, I'm really afraid of guilt." I didn’t believe it when I first heard about it, but now I know it’s true!”

Because he is the cousin of Cao Yong's aunt, Zhao Jia's family, and the brother-in-law of the thirteenth elder brother, he didn't take Cao Yong very seriously.The two students are about the same age, relatives and friends also praised Cao Yong for being steady and sensible.

This time he seized the opportunity, how could he not ridicule a few words?
Brothers Fengde and Fengche have always been friends with Cao Song, and they have a close relationship with Cao Yong. When they heard what their uncle said, they knew it was inappropriate, but they didn't know how to persuade them.

Yi Duli was old after all, he waved his hand to Bai Zhu and said, "Don't talk too much about these unseen things. I heard that Lord Jiu brought the troupe here today, but I haven't attended the play for several days!"

Although the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were annoyed by Baizhu's harsh words, Cao Yong, the righteous master, did not get angry, and they were not good at interjecting.

Cao Yong's complexion was somewhat gloomy, not because Bai Zhu said he was afraid of internal affairs, but because he thought of the reason why the princes gathered in Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

I heard that the old concubine in the palace was seriously ill. In the past few days, the empress dowager ordered the thirteenth elder brother and Fujin to enter the palace.This old concubine is the queen mother's own sister. She came to Beijing from Horqin, Mongolia with her sister in the 11th year of Shunzhi.

The old concubine once raised the eighth princess, and the elder brother Thirteen, who was the same mother and elder brother of the eighth princess, has always been kind to the eighth princess.The Empress Dowager summoned Thirteen Elder Brothers and Thirteen Fujin into the palace because of the old Dowager's affection.

Today all the elder brothers gathered together, except for a few who have always been close to the thirteenth elder brother, everyone else should have their own plans.Or they felt that the deposed prince had no chance of being reinstated, and the thirteenth elder brother, who had always been at odds with him, was about to stand up.

Cao Yong thought of Kangxi's suspicious temperament now, and knew what Bao Buqi would think about today's gathering at the Thirteenth Prince's house.In addition, the old concubine was seriously ill, and the thirteenth elder brother was still listening to the opera, and if it was reported to the palace, the empress dowager would inevitably be unhappy.

Thirteenth brother, I'm afraid he was tricked by these diligent brothers again.

Cao Yong is not the only one who wants to agree with this.

In the flower hall, Brother Seven looked at the brothers and brothers and sighed inwardly.In the past two years, he has been dealing with Brother Thirteen without avoiding suspicion. In addition to being influenced by Cao Yong, he mainly has the feeling of hurting himself.

Ever since the elder brother fought with the crown prince back then, the capital has never stopped in these years.However, his elder brother was not taken seriously at all.His mother's family is Baoyi, and his status is low; he is also disabled, and he has no emperor's heart.

It wasn't until recent years that the emperor's father was exhausted by those clever sons, so he became more sympathetic to these few dutiful ones.

He didn't want to make things worse, and he didn't want to add to the icing on the cake, but it was just a good relationship.

Now, the ninth elder brother framed the thirteenth elder brother so blatantly, but the seventh elder brother couldn't sit still.He didn't want to offend anyone, and he couldn't bear to deal with it like this anymore, so he said goodbye to Brother Thirteen on the pretext of something happening in the house.

Except for the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother, all the other elder brothers got up, and the fifth elder brother said: "Lao Qi, I came with you, and I will go back together, there are many things waiting for me outside!"

The twelfth elder brother originally followed the trend, but when he saw that the fifth and seventh elder brothers had left, he also left together.

In the hall, only the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother remained.

The third elder brother was holding a teacup, smiling half-smile.The fourth elder brother is still as serious as usual, but occasionally looks at the ninth elder brother with a somewhat cold gaze.

The fourteenth brother and the thirteenth brother are about the same age, the two talked and laughed, and looked very close.

This time, the housekeeper of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion came to report, but the theater had already cleaned it up.

The thirteenth elder brother smiled brightly, got up and said to the elder brothers: "Since the preparations are over there, then please move the elder brothers and the fourteenth brothers?"

Brother Jiu first smiled and echoed: "The most famous team in Beijing, originally going to the King Kang's Mansion today, was dragged by me. They have two pillars, and their singing is so authentic! "

The eighth elder brother hesitated for a moment, looked at the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother with a smile, and said, "What do you two elder brothers mean?"

Brother San smiled and knocked on the table with his fingers, and said: "Of course, if you watch it, since it's a good show, if you don't watch it, wouldn't it be a waste of a good show?"

The fourth elder brother turned his head, looked at the eighth elder brother and said, "Eighth brother, what do you mean?"

The eighth elder brother was startled, then smiled and said: "Of course my younger brother listens to the arrangements of the two elder brothers!"

The fourth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother with deep eyes, but finally said nothing, and went with everyone to the theater building beside the garden of the thirteenth elder brother's mansion.

The female guests are in several bays on the right side of the second floor, while the male guests go up the stairs on the left.Even Cao Yong and Yidu set them up, and they arrived one after another.

Cao Yong was originally sad for E Fei's death, but now he thinks about the situation of Elder Brother Thirteen, how can he still be interested in listening to the drama?
He came here mainly to remind Brother Thirteen.He didn't follow the crowd upstairs, but found a secluded place at the corner downstairs.He also called a familiar steward in Shisan's mansion, and asked him to quietly invite elder brother Shisan to come down.

Brother Thirteen saw Cao Yong stand here frowning, and said with a smile: "Why, you are impatient to watch the show and want to go ahead?"

Cao Yong said in a low voice: "Master Thirteen, Lord E has passed away. I heard that the old concubine in the palace is not in good health. Lord Thirteen..."

The thirteenth elder brother heard this, and said with a little sigh: "E Fei is gone. When I was young, I used to pester him to take me out of the palace..." Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "No matter what, I Always give him a ride."

Hearing the sound of drum music, a martial artist had already come out to warm up the scene.

"Master Thirteen, this play... find a reason to tell the big guys to leave!" Cao Yong said earnestly.

Brother Thirteen is open-minded, but after all, he grew up in the palace, so he knows these ghosts and monsters well.

Seeing Cao Yong like this, he was quite relieved, patted Cao Yong on the shoulder and said: "You are an honest person, but... but since they have arranged the scene, how can I leave the show? Even if there is no such thing, there will be other troubles." If Huang Ama wants to flatter me, what's the point of going to an opera on my birthday? If Huang Ama doesn't bother to pay attention to me, even if the troupe is kicked out, nothing good will be done."

"Thirteen Lord..." Cao Yong heard the bleak meaning in his words, and didn't know how to persuade him.

There is no father and son in the Tian family, if the thirteenth elder brother expects Kangxi to treat him with a loving father, he will be disappointed again.

Elder Brother Thirteen looked up at the sky, smiled and said to Cao Yong: "It's warm today, and it's spring in Xiaoyang. I know you're impatient with socializing, don't stay here, go home and rest! Even Lao Yi and the others, I'll send it away in a while, there are some things, you can not meddle in the end, so as not to get in anyone's eyes!"

*
West of the city, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

It's winter today, according to the current rules, it is necessary to burn a kang.Zhaojia's Shaoyuan over there has not been inhabited for many years, so the road to the kang is somewhat blocked, and smoke is strewn inside the house, so it is really hard to treat people.Therefore, Chu Yu invited Mrs. Zhao Jia to come and sit in Wutong Garden.

Same as Zhaojia's, there is also Tian's house, so Tian's two sons, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, are also at Chuyu's side.

Hang Seng, Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng, Si'er, Wu'er, and five children on the kang on the ground, Zhao Jia couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Zhao Jia was very puzzled by Chu Yu's courtesy to Tian.It's just a relative of a staff member, why does it look like an aunt returning home?
However, now that she lives with her nephew, there is no room for her to talk.

Cao Yong gave her the land deed a few days ago, and Zhao Jia was also quite moved.Spending from the public is different from having money in your own hands.Therefore, she always reminded herself to restrain her temper and not to make her nephew and niece feel uncomfortable.In the future, the future of the sons will depend on Cao Yong, the eldest brother, to support them, so they cannot be offended.

Although she knew it in her heart, when she saw the ermine cloak Tian was wearing, Zhao Jia couldn't help but lower her face.She had seen this material last month, and she chose a piece for herself to sew two new clothes.

Isn't the Cao family's property all at a loss?Since the public has no money, why is the capital so wasteful?Thinking about the several properties owned by Cao Yong, Zhao Jia felt a little annoyed.

Whoever is a fool can't do it, and the family hasn't been separated yet, so they put up a hand to prevent it from being their second room!Thinking of this, Zhao Jia felt very embarrassing, even the land property she received a few days ago, now thinking of it, it seemed like she was dismissed and gagged.

Thinking of her dead husband, Zhao Jia only felt a sense of sadness in her heart.Relying on his power, Dafang dared to fool her like this, not because Cao Quan had passed away, and his sons couldn't speak now.
