Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 433
On the second day of Tianhui's full moon banquet, Cao Yong went to Pingjun Wangfu for a while, and had a heart-to-heart talk with Pingjun Wang Naersu.

Hearing that my brother-in-law advised me to stay away from the prince elder brother, although I didn't name anyone, but the fourteenth elder brother only met yesterday, the two of them naturally knew each other well.

Na Ersu is also a smart person, why should Cao Yong talk too much, but he didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Yong, the fourteenth elder brother is the fourteenth elder brother, not the eighth elder brother and the third elder brother." Brother. My fourteenth brother is two years older than me. In the early years, everyone had a good relationship when they were studying in the study room. This is also known to the Lord Long Live, and it is not a taboo. Don’t worry, I will be the king of the iron hat Then, I will not get involved in those abolitions."

Seeing that Naersu was like this, Cao Yong knew that if he didn't say something, he wouldn't take it to heart.

So, Cao Yong turned solemn and said: "Brother-in-law, the eighth elder brother has lost power, and I am afraid that he will not be able to stand up in front of the Long Live Lord. The eighth elder brother has always been famous and popular, and his party members are all over the government and the public. My brother-in-law is honorable, so I will not Keep fame and fortune in mind, but one support is enough to make other people stunned. If the eighth elder brother falls, who will they support? They have the ninth elder brother to control the money, and the eighth elder brother to control the connections. Will you be willing to give up the reserve position to others? The ninth elder brother only loves yellow and white things, the tenth elder brother is not talented enough, and the fourteenth elder brother just happens to be a ready-made candidate? Besides, the eighth elder brother suffers because of his unsacred heart But Elder Fourteen is one of the emperor's favorite princes."

Although the eighth elder brother has not been as good as before in the past two years, he is still a powerful person among the elder brothers.Among the princes and officials, who dares to say that the eighth elder brother has no hope of winning the heir?
Cao Yong is not a talkative person, but today he speaks everything.

Ne Ersu also put a smile on his face, and asked, "What's the fun in Rehe? Is the eighth elder brother's situation already here?"

Cao Yong pointed to his chest, and said: "Why did this arrow come from? No matter who is plotting against me, the Sixteenth Master, in order to be afraid that the above will be nothing, in order to track down the matter, took him to himself in front of the imperial court. Even if the real culprit can't be found out, I'm afraid it's Long Live Lord who will suspect Eighth Brother."

Ne Ersu shook his head and said: "No, there must always be a purpose for doing things. Even if Long Live Lord wants to accuse the eighth elder brother, it must be the reason for the eighth elder brother to harm the sixteenth elder brother. This I always have to check, but if I can’t find out, how can I be sure which one it is?”

Cao Yong said: "I'm afraid that if this can't be found out, I will become more suspicious of Brother Ba. I don't do anything, it's just suspicion. A few years ago, there were fewer crimes before and after the abolition of the prince. Could it be that they are all real? Brother-in-law, think about it, how is the situation of the eighth elder brother different from that of the second elder brother in the past?"

Naersu was a transparent person. Hearing Cao Yong's words, he was enlightened, and his eyes seemed to be filled with joy, and he said: "According to what Brother Yong said, the fourteenth elder brother is really expected to be the heir. It can be seen that he doesn't usually pay attention to this."

When Cao Yong saw Naersu's reaction, he couldn't laugh or cry, and asked: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean, do you want to promote the county king again, or do you want to be a Zuozheng king?"

Naersu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Yong, you must know me. You are the most impatient with the intrigues in the court. It's so tiring. What are you trying to do? I only hope to have the opportunity to go to war, and it will also show that our Pingjun The prestige of the palace."

When he mentioned this, his face was full of glory, which was completely different from the gentle and elegant county king in ordinary times.

Although the wish is good, Cao Yong is only more worried when he hears it.

He frowned and said: "Brother-in-law, my younger brother has something to ask, and I hope brother-in-law will agree."

Cao Yong can come over to persuade, and Naersu also knows his good intentions, thinking that there are many things in his mansion, and now he is still worrying about his side, he can't help feeling a little ashamed, saying: "Brother Yong, it's okay to say, we They are all from my own family, where my brother-in-law can contribute, I will agree."

Because the two were talking, there was no one left in the study to wait on them, so they all sent out.

But Cao Yong still stood at the door first, looked into the yard, and then said to Narsu: "Brother-in-law, because of the abolition of the sixth Dalai Lama, Tibetan King Lhazang Khan is in harmony with the monks and officials of the three major monasteries in Lhasa. The situation in Lhasa is very bad. Zhungar Khan left Lhazang Khan’s eldest son there, fearing that he would seek an opportunity to enter Tibet. At that time, a war will be inevitable.”

When Neersu heard this, his eyes were cold, he immediately got up from his seat, and said happily, "If that's the case, then I will take the initiative to invite Ying to go to battle, and if I can go to the battlefield, I won't live in vain for all these years!"

Cao Yong saw that Naersu was so passionate, so he stood up and said: "Brother-in-law is so looking forward to going to the battlefield? If so, what else can brother-in-law promise me?"

Naersu looked at Cao Yong seriously, and said: "Brother Yong doesn't want me to go to the battlefield, but he is worried about your brother-in-law and children? I, Naersu, as the descendant of King Keqin, how can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Yong Did you underestimate me?"

Cao Yong looked at Na Ersu, but his face was more dignified than ever before, and said: "Brother-in-law wants to wear armor, wants to make contributions, and build a man's heroism. My younger brother only admires him. How can he give birth to dissuasion? Just please Brother-in-law remembers the earnest conversation today, if the court really starts fighting in the future, and if the person leading the troops is Fourteenth Brother, brother-in-law must think twice before acting."

Although there are not many people in Zhungeer, it is related to the comfort of the northwest frontier. In the past, the royal family had personally conquered three times, and it is not surprising that the prince elder brother will be sent to lead the army in the future.

Na Ersu felt a little moved, among the elder brothers, apart from the elder brother who is surrounded, only the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers are good at military affairs.The thirteenth brother is in an embarrassing situation. If the prince is really selected to lead the army, it is likely to be the fourteenth brother.

Cao Yong persuaded him like this, and he didn't want him to have more involvement with the fourteenth elder brother, so naturally he was not optimistic about the fourteenth elder brother's future.

Naersu didn't respond for a while, and said: "Although the fourteenth elder brother is not open-minded, he is a loyal person. Did Brother Yong have any misunderstandings about him? Do you want brother-in-law to find an opportunity to explain the misunderstanding."

When Cao Yong saw that Naersu was here and was still helping the fourteenth elder brother, he sighed in his heart and said, "brother-in-law, what I said today can come out of my mouth and into your ears. I only talk about this experience. If my brother-in-law asks me, I will not admit it. After all, the Lord Long Live is old, and the candidate for the heir apparent in his heart will definitely not let him leave the capital lightly."

Cao Yong knows the truth that talking too much will lead to loss. He is not a talkative person, but it is related to Na Ersu's future, so he can only point again and again.

But now it can only be said to this point, when Naersu and the fourteenth elder brother have such a great friendship, he would not say that the fourth elder brother is the future emperor, and the fourteenth elder brother is a bad luck.

It doesn't matter whether you are close or not, and it doesn't matter whether you trust or not. Some words can only be endured no matter how impulsive they are, or they will come out of their mouths.

What he said today is already a reminder to Na Ersu, the rest depends on his own choice.

Cao Yong has never underestimated this brother-in-law. When the former prince was abolished, Naersu did not do much in private.Cao Yong is sympathetic, after all, young people need face.

He was also aloof since he was a child, and he inherited the throne of the county king when he was a teenager, but he was whipped by the prince in public.This tone, even if it is someone else, may not be able to bear it.

Na Ersu waited for Cao Yong to finish speaking, and just wanted to ask, he heard Cao Yong say: "Brother-in-law, I still need to go back to take care of the mansion, and I will come to greet my sister and brother-in-law some other day."

Seeing that he didn't want to say any more, Ne Ersu smiled and said: "Wait first, I came back with your sister yesterday and found two Qingzhi plants from the mansion, both of which are for eyesight, and I am going to send someone to send them today. You're here, so it's cheaper to take it back." Saying that, he sent someone to the inner courtyard to pick it up.

After a while, Qingzhi was delivered, but Cao Yong didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to Naersu and went back to his house.

Naersu sent Cao Yong out of the house in person, and after returning to the study, he sat alone for a long time.

The next day, the first day of July, Cao Yong's birthday, but he was sick and there was no banquet.What outsiders don't know is that he is really sick, and he has given a lot of ginseng and antler.Relatives and friends know that there are some changes in his house, and they can sympathize with him.

Because Cao Yong came back to Beijing to "rest and recuperate", he didn't have to rush to the Yamen. He had to hold his daughter's baby all day long, or study various milk soups when he had time.

For convenience, Cao Yong sent someone to set up a small kitchen in the east chamber of Wutong Court.When he just ordered people to do it, Xiyun and Xicai were a little bit happy, and their hands and feet were much more diligent.

Cao Yong didn't understand the reason at first. Could it be that everyone was greedy and wanted to use the small kitchen to make snacks?

However, it didn't look the same, even Ye Momo and Chu Yu looked at Cao Yong with strange expressions.

Cao Yong was puzzled, and at night, he asked Chu Yu.

Seeing that Cao Yong didn't know what the East Wing meant, Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Ordinary families, the East Wing and West Wing of the main courtyard are reserved for concubines."

It was the first time Cao Yong heard that when he was in Zhizao Mansion in Jiangning, because the mansion was spacious, several aunts lived in the small yard behind Kaiyang Courtyard.

On the west side of the mansion, although Cao Yong also went to the yard of his uncle and aunt, he really didn't notice whether the concubine lived in a wing room or not, and there was another yard.

I can't complain that my concubine is also called "side room", so this is the reason.

Cao Yong hugged Chuyu in his arms, and said: "Since the East Wing has been used as a small kitchen, don't be idle all the time in the West Wing. Clean it up and make it a study room. I will teach the children to read and write there later. The East Wing His study room was evacuated and cleaned up for Tianhui to live in. Hang Seng will only be a week next month, and I heard him call my sister today. When Tianhui can also walk, let the two children stay together, and the little brother and sister will also be together. a companion."

Although Cao Yong didn't say anything nasty, but the East Wing and West Wing are occupied, but it is also a confession.

Chu Yu only felt the heat in his eyes, and his heart was irritated. He nodded and said, "Not only is Hang Seng getting older, but there are also two brothers in Sister-in-law Tian's house. From now on, this mansion will really be lively!"

"Yes!" Cao Yong nodded and said: "Wait a little longer, they will grow up in two years, and they will open up two empty yards in the mansion to build a place for children to play..."

In the next half a month, although Cao Yong did not reach the realm of "wife and children hot on the kang", he revolved around the three places of "wife, children, and pot edge".

Chu Yu is getting plump day by day, and her milk is getting fuller.

In addition to making lactating soup for his daughter-in-law, Cao Yong also chooses light dishes that he has eaten in his previous life, and he will serve one or two when he has nothing to do.

Although it is July and the weather is not as hot as June, it is not easy to light a fire in the kitchen.

Cao Yong was tired of the smell of oily smoke, fearing that it would irritate his daughter, so he had to bathe several times a day.

It's okay to take a shower, but it's not cheap to wash your hair.

Cao Yong gestured to Chu Yu and asked her to sew a small hat for herself, and wear it when she went to the kitchen, so she wouldn't be afraid of the smell on her hair.

During this period, Mrs. Zhao Jia walked to the Wutong Garden more frequently, and beside Chu Yu, all she talked about was the experience and allusions of raising children.

Not only Chu Yu, but also Cao Yong didn't think it was long-winded, and they all listened with great interest.

I can't blame the world for saying that an old man in a family is like a treasure.Many life experiences are passed down by word of mouth from elders in this way.

Although they got along a little bit last year, they were not happy with each other, but today, they are much more harmonious.

Because of Zhao Jia's protection of Chu Yu, Cao Yong really felt close to this second aunt, not as indifferent as before.

In more than ten days, it will be 27 months since Cao Quan died of illness, and Zhao Jia and Cao Song's brothers will leave their filial piety.During this conversation, Zhao Jia naturally mentioned the marriage of Cao Song and his brothers.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu just remembered these days and turned around Tianhui, neglecting Cao Song's marriage.

Cao Yong is 100% opposed to the marriage in the Shilang's mansion, but it's just the reason, and it's not easy to tell the truth, and he is very embarrassed.

On Chuyu's side, she didn't want to cause Zhao Jia's dissatisfaction because of Cao Song's marriage.Even if Zhao Jia's words and deeds are sometimes unpleasant, after all, she is just a widow and aunt, and they can only be more sympathetic as juniors.
Daoxiang Village, which has been in preparation for several months, finally set the opening date after the Ghost Festival...
