Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 412
Inside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's Mansion, Study Room.

The fourth elder brother stood in front of the window, only feeling that the evening wind was coming, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of chill.There was no joy or anger on his face, and he lowered his eyelids slightly, feeling a little weak.

What are you waiting for, what are you looking forward to?
It seems that it has been a long time, and it seems that there is only time for a cup of tea. There are footsteps outside, and someone is outside the study: "Fourth Master!?"

It was Dai Jin's voice, because there was no lamp in the study, so he was a little unsure whether the fourth elder brother was here or not.

The fourth elder brother sat sideways on the chair and said, "Come in!"

Hearing Si elder brother's order, Dai Jin just opened the door and came in.

The room was full of darkness, and his eyes were not in a hurry to adapt for a while, he really wanted to ask if he should light the lamp, but he knew that the master didn't like people who pretended to be smart, so he endured the question and talked about business.

"Fourth Master, news has been sent back that the case of Kali's mother, Kouyan, has been sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice." As he spoke, he was already a little cheerful, and said, "Now, I'm afraid that person will feel bitten. hand!"

"Interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" The fourth elder brother said in a deep voice, "What about Long Kedo and Cao Yong, how do they do?"

Dai Jin said: "Master Long... In order to prevent Ga Li and others from escaping, he led people to surround the Ga Li family, and arrested all the members of the Ga Li family. It was when Jueluo was escorted to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment that he returned home from the Yamen of the Infantry Command!"

Dai Jin is also quite obedient, when he mentioned these two people to the fourth elder brother earlier, he called them by their first names.Now, seeing that the fourth elder brother valued these two very much during his conversation, he called them by their titles.

After all, Longkodo and Cao Yong are both relatives of the emperor, and Dai Jin is just a slave who looks decent from the outside.

The fourth elder brother heard this, but didn't speak immediately, after a while, Fang said: "In your opinion, since Huang Ama handed over this case to the criminal department for interrogation, what result does he want?"

Dai Jin thought for a moment, then replied: "Fourth Master, according to the servants, I am afraid that the old man Long Live doesn't know what regulations he wants. Maybe, he just wants to see how that person behaves."

Since he had been in the room for a while, Dai Jin didn't bother to look at things so much.In the dim darkness, he only saw the corners of Si elder brother's mouth slightly raised, and heard a cold snort.

The fourth elder brother didn't look at Dai Jin, but looked at a piece of jade placed on the desk, feeling a little unsure, the emperor did this to experience the old man?Or find a reason to clean up Lao Ba again?

Like the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were waiting for the news of the "knocking" case.

What are you really afraid of, what are you here for? When he heard that Kangxi's handwritten letter was "interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice", Brother Ba sat down on a chair with a dazed expression on his face.

Ninth Brother also frowned, but seeing that Eighth Brother was like this, he didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable by nagging anymore, so he said: "I'm not afraid of interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Mynah is just complaining about illness these days, so he seldom pays attention to the affairs of the Ministry. Even the Ministry of Criminal Justice In the end, Bian'er didn't agree with Huang Ama's wishes, so logically, it wouldn't implicate Mynah!"

Brother Ba raised his head, with self-mockery on his face, and said: "Ninth brother, can you believe these words yourself? You don't need to comfort me, Huang Ama can't tolerate me anymore. I'll jump!" At the end, she was very frustrated.

Brother Jiu waved his hand when he saw him like this, and said: "I can't blame myna for losing his face recently. It turned out to be because of his overthinking, and he thought too much! Although it is a heinous crime to disobey and kill one's mother, it is a family after all. The matter of one household does not need the joint trial of the three divisions. It’s just that the matter happened to be at this juncture. It’s just like the starling said that there is no tolerance. Didn’t Huang Ama order the starling to follow her? ?”

The eighth prince touched the teacup in front of him, only felt the cold in his heart, and murmured: "Huang Ama is guarding against me..."

Ninth elder brother is not stupid, he knows some things in his heart, seeing eighth elder brother like this, he stopped persuading him and said: "Since eighth elder brother thinks so, then we can't just wait for Huang Ama to make up the crime! We have to Think about it, explore the holy will, and see how Aunt Huang wants to settle the case. If you can save yourself the trouble, send it to your door and cause Ama Huang to go into a fit!"

The eighth elder brother leaned back in the chair and said: "Ninth brother, don't be too busy. If Huang Ama doesn't want to get angry with me, then whatever the case is, it's right; if Huang Ama wants to get me out, no matter what the case is, it's wrong."

Brother Nine felt a little irritable when he heard the corner words, and said: "Brother, then we don't have to just wait like this. Mynah is just tired, so I'll send someone to inquire about Old Ninth. I don't believe it, Huang Ama I'm so old and confused, among these princes and elder brothers, who else can be better than myna!"

The eighth elder brother didn't answer the call.Instead, he asked: "How is Lao Shi's illness? I asked the imperial hospital a few days ago, but I didn't see Lao Shi's records of the imperial physician's past. Lao Shi...Does Lao Shi regard my brother as a funeral?" It's a star, avoid it if you can?"

Brother Nine was already irritable. After hearing this, he got up from his seat with a "teng", and said with a bit of anger: "Myna, what's the matter? Even if you want to think too much, you shouldn't Think about my own brother! Old Ten, with his idiot-like appearance, when will he play tricks on others? My younger brother asked him several times about Old Ten’s illness in private. The starling has recently been irritable due to the affairs of the court, but notice that Dao Shi has lost a lot of weight? It is really disheartening to still think about him like this now!"

The eighth elder brother knew that he had misunderstood, so he was ashamed, and said: "Ninth brother, it's because of the brother. Because the old ten has always been active, I didn't expect him to be really uncomfortable..."

*
I am afraid that it is really related to the circumstances of the case, not how Kangxi is thinking, and how the prince and elder brother are doing. Only Cao Yong is the only one.

Although Chuyu has asked someone to clean up the house for Jinghui, Jinghui is still waiting for Cao Yong to come back because she is concerned about her grandmother's condition.

Thinking of the dangers of this half day, Cao Yong felt a little more pity for Jinghui in his heart.He told her about Jue Luo's going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and told her that she had taken care of it carefully, and he would definitely not let the old man suffer.

Jinghui thanked again with tears in her eyes, and Cao Yong and Chuyu couldn't help comforting her again.Because it was getting dark, and Cao Yong had just come back from outside, it would be inconvenient for Jinghui to stay, so she said goodbye to them.

Chuyu asked Xicai and Xiyan to lead their master and servant over.Seeing that there was only one old mother and one maid beside Jinghui, she ordered Xiyan to take the two young maids to serve her.

After Jinghui and their master and servant left the house, Cao Yong sat down on the kang, touched his belly and said, "No, I'm so hungry that I want to vomit. Send someone to bring some food up."

Chu Yu had been thinking about this for a long time, and had already made people warm the food.

Cao Yong changed his clothes and the food was ready.Cao Yong has eaten a few steamed buns with longan and a bowl of porridge since he woke up in the early morning. He is really hungry.

Regardless of whether it was meat or not, whether it was meat or not, he picked at the chopsticks and ate a bowl in three mouthfuls.

Because he ate too fast, he was a little choked, and quickly stroked his chest.Seeing him like this, Chu Yu brought a cup of tea herself.

Cao Yong took it and drank it, only to notice that there was a dish of letinous edodes and rapeseed on the table.He took a bite and put it in his mouth, thinking of the poisonous mushroom that Jue Luo said, he felt touched.

In this world, if you want to murder, it is too easy.Not to mention anything else, it is oleander that is available in every household, and some dried leaves can be mixed with meals, which is also life-threatening.

Seeing him eating mushrooms in a daze, Chu Yu also thought of what Chu Hui had mentioned, and said with a bit of guilt, "Chu Yu was careless, so I should go away with this dish, so as not to affect my son-in-law's appetite."

Cao Yong listened, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this. Speaking of it, natural disasters in this world can't catch up with man-made disasters. Cattle, sheep, chickens, fish, and mushrooms. What's wrong with them? In the future, what should we eat in our yard? What do you eat, you have a child in your belly." Speaking of this, he pointed to his empty bowl and said, "Look, it's not about being poor, it's about not being hungry, and when you're hungry, picky eaters make yourself taller Already!"

This is not the first time Cao Yong said it.Although he was a bit picky about eating due to various reasons, he didn't want Chuyu to do the same, especially after Chuyu became pregnant.After all, for pregnant women, in addition to the food that needs to be avoided, it is better to eat almost everything else.

Although this is not Chuyu's first delivery, Cao Yong is really worried.Because Chuyu's pregnancy this time is different from the last time, she likes to eat last time, and her body is much rounder.

This time, she was impatient to eat anything, and she swallowed every meal by force.However, it seemed that all the nutrients she ate went to her stomach, and her stomach grew bigger, but she didn't see any flesh growing on her body.

Chu Yu took Cao Yong's empty bowl and helped to fill it up.

Cao Yong ate another half a bowl, and there was something in his stomach. Seeing that it was dark outside the window, he said: "I sent someone to the garden to call Xiaoer. I haven't come back at this point. I'm afraid it's in the city. outside!"

Chu Yu heard her husband bring up this matter, and said: "I will talk to Jinghui in the next afternoon, and I asked a few questions about what was said. Seeing what she means, I am very grateful to Xiaoer."

"Grateful?" Cao Yongchu still didn't understand. Thinking of what happened to Jinghui the year before last, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, speaking of it, it's the Jinghui that Xiao Er saw. Otherwise, Jiang Ning would be strong and strong in this cold winter. It’s not good for a man to be out in the cold all night, let alone a little girl.”

Chu Yu said: "Speaking of which, the change in Dong E's family this time may make Jinghui's situation even worse. Thinking about it, it is really worrying."

Cao Yong was also worried about the Jueluo family and Jinghui's grandfather and grandson, but he was afraid that Chuyu would be worried and hurt his body. The little one really caught my eye, let's find a way to help."

Seeing Cao Yong's self-confidence, Chu Yu asked doubtfully, "What good idea did my son-in-law come up with? After all, there is the second wife on top, so it's not something you can get if you say it."

Cao Yong also hesitated in his heart, although he is an older brother, he loves his younger brother, and it is not a crime to help Xiaoer achieve his wish.But after all, it is related to the second half of Jinghui's life, and Zhao Jia has such a temper.

Seeing Cao Yong's expression, Chu Yu knew that he didn't have a charter yet.

Zhao Jia had been looking forward to the eldest daughter-in-law coming in for a long time, she only hoped that the son-in-law could think of a good way before that, she thought in her heart.

After Cao Yong finished his meal, he rinsed his mouth with water, and Xi Yun took the two little maids to remove the table.

Cao Yong saw that Chu Yu looked very clumsy with a shy stomach, and said with concern: "If you are tired, don't stand or sit, and tilt it if you can. The same is true for clothes. It hurts you."

Chu Yu touched her belly, with a kind of loving face on her face, and said, "Forehead, Chu Yu can feel the child's tossing. He loves to move so much. This child seems to be more cheerful than Tianyou, but he will be happy in the future." I can be a companion with Hang Seng."

Cao Yong recalled the saying that the three spinners on the top of the head were generals, and said with a smile: "It's good to be brave. It's a good thing for our family to add another general's son, and he will be a military officer with Xiao Er. Our ancestors also have military merits." ..."

The young couple were talking when they heard someone in the yard say: "Second Master, why are you standing here?"

It was Xicai's voice, Cao Song came back.

Although he caught up with the Guancheng Gate and entered the city, when Cao Song arrived at the Wutong Garden, he was a little afraid to go in.

Along the way, he had already heard Xiaoman briefly mention that Jinghui came here because of the change in Dong E's family, so he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

This silly girl is really unlucky and pitiful.

I thought about it a lot in my heart, but thinking of Jinghui's tearful appearance, Cao Song couldn't bear it, so he hesitated again and again.

Seeing that the servant girl had called him out, Cao Song lost some scruples, strode into the courtyard, went to the corridor and shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law, brother is back!"

Cao Yong heard some trembling in his voice, and his heart was like a mirror.The two brothers grew up together, and when the second brother encountered something serious, or was afraid or had no idea, he would put on this little tiger look and rely on his waist...
