Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 398 Visiting the Golden Gate and Two Places
Jiangning Weaving Mansion, Kaiyang Courtyard, Shangfang.

Cao Fu looked at Cao Yin who was staggering a little, stepped forward to support him, and asked worriedly, "Uncle, you... are you okay?"

Cao Yin rubbed his temples, stepped back a few steps, and sat on the chair.He looked up at Cao Fu, frowned, and said, "Didn't you not be allowed to come to this yard? Why are you disobedient?"

Tianyou's voice in the inner room gradually became hoarse, and there was Li Shi's soft weeping sound. Cao Fu lowered his head and whispered: "Nephew is really worried!"

Cao Yin patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I know you are a good boy, but this is not a joke, God bless you, your aunt and I are exhausted, do you want us old couple to worry about you No?"

Cao Fu shook his head and said: "My nephew doesn't go into the back room, just because I don't care about Tianyou and uncle and auntie!"

Cao Yin sighed and said, "Tianyou is a blessed child, he will get well!"

Cao Fu was a little puzzled, and asked, "Uncle, didn't God bless you plant flowers? Why did you get acne?"

Cao Yin replied: "Although God bless you planted flowers, it was against smallpox and positive pox. Although he was suffering from acne this time, it was chicken pox, not positive pox. Although it was not as dangerous as smallpox, God blessed him. Little..." At the end, she also felt a little worried: "This thing is born once and will never be born again. Your aunt and I have both had it before. You are young, so you should avoid it. Go back from this house in a while, you Shower and change clothes, light some incense!"

Cao Fu agreed one by one, and because he was afraid that Cao Yin would be seriously hurt by worrying too much, he had to persuade him again.

Cao Yin wanted to go into the house to see his grandson, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate for his nephew to stay in the house for a long time, so he called an old woman to take him back to the courtyard.

In the back room, Mrs. Li was sitting on the edge of the kang, looking at Tianyou who was crying "Wow", she shed tears with distress.

Tianyou's face was flushed, and there were glistening chickenpox on his face and neck. For fear of him scratching, his two little hands were bound around his body.

Tianyou was very itchy, and his whole body was burning uncomfortably, so he could only cry.The small body is bent and bent, and it looks very pitiful.

Because he had already started to speak, Tianyou cried and called out, "Grandfather", "Grandmother", "Uncle", and "Nurse".The more she shouted, the more miserable she became, and at last she rolled her eyes, convulsing from crying.

Cao Yin also entered the room, seeing his precious grandson like this, he could only stomp his feet anxiously.

Tianyou's sister, Liu's family, brought over the boiled Dalian qiao soup.Seeing Tianyou like this, she never shed tears.

Seeing the medicine coming, Mrs. Li leaned over to persuade her, "My dear grandson, let's stop crying, just take the medicine and you'll be fine!"

Tianyou couldn't understand this, his two little arms were bound so tightly that he couldn't move, he shook his face vigorously, and cried, "Scratch...scratch..."

Li wiped away Tianyou's tears with a handkerchief, for fear of touching the blisters on his face, she took a long while cautiously.

The medicine was almost cold, Li's hugged Tianyou, and Liu's fed Tianyou with a spoon.

Tianyou Xu was tired from crying, so he gradually quieted down, but his body was twitching, his little neck was straightening up and down.

Half of a spoonful of medicine had to be spit out, which wet several pieces of bibs, before Tianyou finished the medicine.

After a while, the medicinal power dissipated, and Tianyou calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

After working for a long time, Mrs. Li was sweating all over her body and face. After ordering the nurse to take care of Tianyou, she went outside to change clothes.

Cao Yin was afraid of disturbing Tianyou, so he also followed, but his expression was full of anxiety.

Although Mrs. Li was also flustered, she saw that her husband's hair was mostly gray in just a few days, and she was afraid that he would not be able to survive when he was old, so he persuaded him: "Master, don't worry too much. Whose children don't suffer like this. Come here! Although Tianyou made a lot of noise, the pox poison has spread out, and it will heal after a few days of scabbing!"

Cao Yin nodded, and said: "I hope so!" Then, he looked at Mrs. Li, feeling a little uneasy, and said, "You have been watching for several nights, and you also take turns with the servants. It’s not good to make you tired and sick again just to take care of your grandson!”

Mrs. Li changed into clean clothes, wiped her face, squeezed her arms, and said: "In the past, I was only my lifeblood, but now I realize that this little one is even more fatal. Not to mention Tianyou's cuteness." It hurts people, just say that the son and daughter-in-law are willing to send the children to us, so there is no room for any mistakes, or what face will there be to see the son and daughter-in-law?" Speaking of this, I remembered something and asked: "Master , don’t you need to write letters to your son and daughter-in-law?”

Cao Yin waved his hand and said: "It's so far away, when the letter arrives, Tianyou will be cured, let the couple worry about it, let's wait for Tianyou to recover from illness!"

Li Shi thought to herself, God bless...it's not too late to send the letter again, but she didn't want to think about that ominous thought, so she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Sitting there, Cao Yin thought of the letter sent by Li Xu from Suzhou. Li Ding's body had been found in Shichahai, and now it was a suspect.The Li family can't help but the only thing they can count on is that Cao Yong is in Beijing, helping him to be more careful.

Cao Yin glanced at his wife, but did not tell her about it.

The letter from Cao Yong's family in Beijing also arrived in these two days, mentioning the matter of buying a sacrifice field, Cao Yin felt only guilty.

As a father, he really did not take responsibility, and let his son bear everything.

*
Capital City, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Chuyu was ill and didn't think about eating or drinking. When she thought of her son, she could only cry.But I can't tell Cao Yong, lest he think he doesn't want to send Tianyou to his in-laws.Therefore, whenever Cao Yong asked her the reason for her discomfort, she would only say that she was inexplicably sad.

When Cao Yong saw it, he was very helpless, but he had nothing but good words to persuade him.

When Chuyu was pregnant with God's Blessing, there was a time when her spirit was very unstable.Cao Yong thought it was the same this time, so he coaxed him carefully, and asked Amethyst to look after him every day before going to the Yamen.

There are some things Chu Yu can't tell Cao Yong, but she doesn't hide it from Amethyst.

Zijing heard Chuyu's worries, and couldn't help persuading: "Grandma is really worried, not to mention that the young master is by the side of the master and wife, and naturally treats him like a treasure, but there is something really uncomfortable. Jiang Ning Your letter has arrived early!"

Chu Yu still couldn't let go, and murmured: "But, but I dreamed that a child called me 'mother'...it was crying so much..."

Zijing scolded and said: "Grandma, is it true that you only have Master Tianyou in your heart? Why did you forget that you still have one in your stomach? This may be a fetal dream, tell grandma in advance that you have a young master in your belly!"

Chuyu took Zijing's hand, shook her head, and said with tears: "Sister Zijing, I really feel that God Bless is calling me... It makes me feel so sad, I feel so sad..."

Zijing took out her handkerchief, wiped Chu Yu's face, and said, "If grandma is really worried, she can write a letter to the old lady and ask her carefully. If not, send her two daughter-in-laws to the south to have a look. It's also good, but you can't just think too much about your own size, grandma has two bodies, and if she hurts her body at this time, how can the little master in her stomach be better?"

Chu Yu knew that Zijing was right, so she stopped her tears.Although, as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't take the liberty to write a letter to ask her parents-in-law how Tianyou is, but she remembered that her husband had just gone to the south for a letter a few days ago, so she eagerly waited for the reply from the south.

Although she was not feeling well, there were some things Chu Yu had to worry about, so she entrusted Amethyst with all of them, including presenting the Longevity Ceremony to the palace, preparing the sixteenth elder brother's first daughter's full moon ceremony, and the dim sum shop.

Cao Fang led people to break ground in the capital, Han Jiang sent two stewards to invite dim sum masters to Suzhou, Cao Yong also wrote to Guangzhou Wei Xin, asking him to help invite two Cantonese-style dim sum masters to Beijing .

Although Zijing has always been a housekeeper, but because of her sense of proportion, she never asked Chuyu about the dowry.Now, this has become an opportunity, causing Chuyu to hand over several properties in the dowry to Zijing.

Zijing was busy all day long, but she did not spend enough time reciting Buddha's name.

A few days later, Jiang Ning's letter arrived, saying that the whole family was safe and there was no bad news.Chu Yu's illness is cured now, she only thinks that she is superfluous, and starts to take care of her baby with peace of mind.

During the period, Han Jiangshi came once, and it was Zijing who went out to see her.

Because Han Jiangshi had already made a mistake once, he became more cautious in dealing with Cao's family, for fear of being rude again.Although Zijing claimed to be a servant of the Cao family, she did not dare to neglect her manner of speaking.

Zijing had heard Chuyu mention Han Jiang's identity, and knew that she was the owner of Jiangning Liuhe Bank, so she was cautious.

Because she has helped Cao Yong manage the accounts in the past few years, she also knows about the business in Guangzhou.Cao Yong bought a few pieces of land at the beginning of last year. Except for helping Erfang buy a small village, the others were sent to Jiangning Liuhe Bank to repay the previous loan.

Regarding the dim sum shop, the two talked about the details of the transaction, both with a bit of ability and shrewdness, and they were somewhat convinced by each other.

After leaving Cao's mansion, Han Jiangshi did not return to Cheng's house immediately, but asked the coachman to go to Qianmen Street.

She is a very strong person, whatever she does, she wants to do better, so as not to make people laugh at a woman for not being able to do anything.In addition, this time doing business under the banner of the Cao family, there is still uncle's favor in the middle, and she also wants to earn some money to repay the Cao family for their care.

Because she was wearing a face scarf, she was not afraid of being seen, so she told the woman who was going out with her outside to tell her when she saw the dim sum shop.She memorized the location of the shop carefully, and then sent her mother-in-law to buy a snack.

After looking at several restaurants, although some of them also sell southern-style dim sum, there are not many designs and colors, and the taste is not authentic. They still mainly focus on Beijing dim sum.Han Jiang's became more and more concerned, and by the way, he also looked at the few southern goods shops in the front door.She also remembered what was more and what was less.

It was almost time to wait and see, Han Jiang ordered the coachman to rush to a shop under the name of Chu Yu to see the carriage.According to Cao Yong's instructions, this dim sum shop should have a store in the front and a factory in the back, and the place should not be too narrow.

Han Jiangshi didn't get out of the carriage, but followed the side curtain of the carriage, and looked at the pavement that was still being repaired.Although it is not a prosperous area, there are silver buildings, silk and satin villages, taverns and tea houses here, and it is also a good place for shopping.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the time in her mind, it would take two or three months for the people going to the south to go back and forth, plus the time to find the master.

Well, to avoid the heat, it will open at the end of July and early August, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then the Double Ninth Festival.This autumn and winter months are a good time to sell dim sum.

After a few months, it became a bit famous, and at the end of the year, when every family offered offerings, the dim sum box became a big deal again.

There was a bit of a smile on her face, and she was about to put down the curtain when she heard someone say, "Excuse me...excuse me, are you the elder sister of the Jiang family?"

Han Jiangshi only heard the voice sound familiar, followed the sound, but there was a young woman standing in front of the silver building next to the dim sum shop.The young woman also just got off the carriage, she smiled and supported a little girl to stand still, she was wearing a lotus color shirt and sky blue embroidered skirt, she looked very fresh and pretty.

Although it looked familiar, Han Jiang couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.

That person is none other than Yang Ruixue who married Yidu and made her a concubine a few days ago.Coincidentally, the silver building that Li Xu gave her last year happened to be next to Chu Yu's shop.

Since Yang Ruixue has made up her mind to live a good life, she is not as indifferent to the money business as in the past, and has to come here several times a month, for fear that the shopkeepers will not care.

Today, when she was passing the silver building, she happened to see Han Jiang's carriage.

Because the Han Jiang clan planned to stay away from the Jiangning clansmen and settle in the capital, so this time they came, they brought all their daily necessities, including the carriage.

Although she wore a veil and sat in the carriage without seeing anyone, Yang Ruixue recognized Han Jiang's carriage.

When they were not out of the cabinet, everyone was a famous lady in Jiangning, and they had some contacts with each other.The little girls from every family get together, apart from comparing their looks and talents, they also compete with each other in terms of clothing, family wealth and status.

Yang Ruixue's carriage was made by her grandfather's Bai family. It is very exquisite and gorgeous, but it is not as elegant as the carriage of the second lady of Liuhe Qianzhuang Jiang's family.Because of this, she talked with her parents for several days, so she remembers it very clearly...
