Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 454
When he came out of Cao's mansion, Yidu looked fine, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.Although Yang Mingchang, the father of the Yang family, abandoned his wife and son, and did not do his Yiduli business.However, thinking that Yang's elder brother is a member of the Cao family, he felt a little awkward and felt embarrassed.

I can't complain that every time I mentioned Yang's with Cao Yong, Cao Yong either kept silent or changed the subject.

I regard myself as a darling, the younger sister of Cao's servant, but it's not easy to comment on Cao Yong's status.

Yi Duli thought that just now he had thought about begging Cao Yong to recognize Yang as his god-in-law, so he felt his face was hot and he panicked with embarrassment.

However, the Yang family is a distant relative of the Li family, but the Cao family took in the abandoned children of the Yang family. The relationship between the Cao and Li families is not as close as the outside world said. ... When leaving Cao Mansion on horseback, Yi Duli thought of this for some reason.

Manchu people are the most polite and love face, Yi Duli felt that he lost face, and his partiality for Yang's heart faded a bit.In addition, it is hard to violate one's life, even if the mother speaks, then he can delay being a son for a while, but he cannot reject it.

Yang Ruixue is used to the leisurely life outside, how could she be willing to be a concubine in the house?

Yi Duli left in a hurry, and she thought it was him who went home to beg for mercy, but she didn't expect that when he came back, he seemed to be a different person.She still wanted to cry, but seeing Yiduri's helplessness, she didn't dare to shame him in public.

In desperation, Yang Ruixue could only hold her daughter's hand, get into the carriage of Yiduli's family, and go back to the mansion there...

Not to mention how Yiduli and Yang Ruixue have their own considerations, but on Cao Yong's side, although Yiduli was run off with words, he couldn't relax at all.

Li Xu has always been generous and has a good reputation in Jiangnan, but who is a living Bodhisattva in this world?
Yang Ruixue is Li Ding's confinement, and during the days when she lived in Li's house, she was a little dirty from beginning to end.Logically speaking, for such a woman, even if she disdains to deal with her, she should be expelled.

If she knew something she shouldn't know, she would have died long ago.

A mere businesswoman, and a stranger in the capital, she has nothing to rely on in the capital, so how she decides to do it all depends on Li Xu's mood.

Why spare her life and let her be a distant relative of the Li family?I'm not Cao Yong's villain, but I still feel that there is something that should not be said to others.

It's just that for a while, people don't know what it is.

Could it be that Li Xu was obsessed with sex and used this woman, so he let her live in the capital because it was difficult to do so; or did Li Xu have other intentions, wanting to keep a beauty room here?
Li Ding was gone, Cao Yong really hoped that Li Xu would enjoy his old age honestly and not mess with those messy moths again.Otherwise, when the incident happened, the Cao family would be implicated by it, wouldn't it be wronged.

Fortunately, now that the father's transfer order has been issued, the old situation of Cao, Li, and Sun weaving the prominent Jiangnan will be broken.Even if the Li family made some rash moves in the future, and the Cao family had already returned to the capital, as long as they acted cautiously, they would not be as obtrusive as before.

Jiangning, Weaving Mansion, Front Yard, Study Room.

It didn't take long for the papers sent back by Kangxi's command to arrive in Jiangning, and the official promotion document from the Ministry of Officials also arrived at Zhizaofu.Cao Yinshi was overjoyed, he thought it would take a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect things to turn around.

Among the delighted colleagues, he was also faintly disappointed.

He was born in the south of the Yangtze River. He was sent to be raised by his aunt in the capital at the age of six, and then entered the palace as a companion. At the age of 16, he became a guard.It has been nearly 30 years since my father passed away and came to Jiangnan to take over the production.

There can be several 30 years in his life. Compared with the capital, Zhizao Mansion here is more like his home.

Best friends, poets and writers, the days in Jiangnan are so unforgettable.

In the future, I am afraid that I will never have such a comfortable state of mind again, and I will die in the capital forever.

Thinking of this, Cao Yin put down the official document in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, it was really unsatisfactory.The world is incomplete, how can there be anything perfect in this world?
If you want to be reunited with your children and grandchildren, but also want to be at ease and do whatever you want, how can there be such a good thing?
After thinking about this, Cao Yingang's sentimental feelings faded away.

As for Yubi's personal approval and asking him to recommend weaving candidates, he didn't take it seriously.The few doctors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are highly regarded by the Long Live Lord will inevitably be listed.As for who Long Live God appointed, that was the Long Live God's favor, and Cao Yin had nothing to do with him.

He has no intention of seizing power, and he is afraid that this suspicion will cause Kangxi to dislike him.

Since you want to leave Jiangnan, you have to cut it clean, otherwise, if you recommend the old cronies, there will be any conflicts here in the future, and it will not be clean.

It will take more than a month to send the papers recommending candidates for weaving in Jiangning to the imperial court and send them back.During this period of time, you can visit old friends, so that you will not be able to meet each other in the future.

This is all for later, the most important thing is to tell Madam the news.These days, Mrs. Li is looking forward to returning to Beijing, but also afraid that the paper will be rejected, so she is in a daze all day long.

In the upper room of Kaiyang courtyard, Mrs. Li sat by the kang and told his grandson Tianyou about the past, nothing more than the old stories of the ancestors of the Cao family entering the customs from the dragon.

This was all written down by the old lady when she saw the sky in the early years. Li Shi was talking about it, but she felt a little guilty in her heart.In the early years, she still lived in a mansion, and her son was taken by the old matriarch, not by her side.

Even if we see each other every day, she still has to recite it several times in her heart every night, and she just feels that she can't remember it.

Now that she brings her grandson with her, isn't the daughter-in-law thinking more about it?

After hearing a few words about horseback riding and marching, Tianyou couldn't sit still, turned over and got off the kang, staring at his calves and heading towards the cabinet.Next to the cabinet, there is a bamboo horse.

The so-called "bamboo horse" is just half a bamboo pole with a half wooden horse's head attached to it.

This is a little gadget that Cao Yin figured out by himself in order to coax his grandson.

Tianyou rode the bamboo horse under his crotch, circling around the room, saying as he turned, "Drive, drive, ride a big horse..."

Fearing that he would fall, Mrs. Li hurriedly stood up and coaxed: "Slow down, knock carefully..."

Tianyou giggled happily, leaning his neck up and said, "Grandmother, my grandson will be a general in the future and go to war." After finishing speaking, he rode a bamboo horse and ran all over the ground.

Seeing his babyish voice, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "You think that's just a joke, your grandfather and your father didn't think about it, you are a grandson, you have a bit of a legacy from your ancestors..."

It happened that Cao Yin picked up the curtain and came in. Hearing the last sentence, he asked, "What is the legacy of the ancestors?"

Tianyou just ran to this side, bumped into Cao Yin's leg all of a sudden, leaned back his small body, and got a buttock.Xu Shi fell in pain, his little face turned sour, his little mouth cracked, as if he was about to cry.

When Li and Cao Yin saw that their grandson had fallen, they felt very distressed.Mrs. Li hurriedly picked it up, rubbed his grandson's little butt, and said in his mouth: "Oh, ouch, I hurt grandma's grandson, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..."

Cao Yin also stepped forward and looked carefully to see if he had knocked somewhere.

Seeing his grandfather approaching, Tianyou stretched out his two small arms and put them around Cao Yin's neck, but smiled through his tears.

When Cao Yin saw his grandson getting close to him, he felt very rare, so he stretched out his hand to take it from Mrs. Li's arms.He touched Tianyou's forehead and asked, "What did you play this morning? Tell Grandpa, do you miss Grandpa?"

Tianyou grabbed Cao Yin's beard and played with it with his small hands, and said in his mouth, "I think about it... thinking about grandfather playing with grandson... playing horses..."

Cao Yin hugged his grandson, weighed him twice in his hands, and put him on his neck.

Tianyou thought it was amused and scared at the same time, he giggled and hugged his little arms more and more.Covering Cao Yin's eyes with his small hand, Cao Yin also smiled, grabbed Tianyou's small hand, turned around and said to Li Shi: "After the writing of the Ministry of Officials, I was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. I just wait for the handover of the errands here. , I will be able to go to Beijing. Probably, it will be possible by the end of the year at the latest!"

When Li heard this, she was overjoyed, clasped her hands together, her eyes were red, but she didn't know what to say.

Seeing his wife like this, Cao Yin thought of something and said, "You grew up in the south, didn't you think that the capital is dry and dusty? If it's winter, it will be much colder than the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know if you can stand it." live."

Mrs. Li turned sideways, wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Look at what the master said, how have I ever been so expensive? It doesn't matter if it's cold, just use two more pots of charcoal. As long as you can get along with your son and daughter-in-law In one place, not to mention it's colder, even if I'm allowed to eat bran swallowed vegetables, I'm still happy."

Li's words reminded Cao Yin of what Cao Yong said on the boat when his father and son went to Beijing to congratulate Wanshou last year.
In his heart, he couldn't help being alert.

Extremes of things are bound to reverse, extremes of prosperity must decline, and now the Cao family can escape from the south of the Yangtze River, and the whole family is safe, which is already a great blessing.

The so-called wealth, the so-called power, he has experienced it in half his life, so he sees it more and more lightly.

The son is not ostentatious, and will not take the initiative to provoke right and wrong.But the father and son will both be officials in the capital in the future, and they are still hall officials, so they need to be more cautious, so as not to cause trouble.

Suzhou, Weaving House.

Li Xu looked at the newly arrived mansion newspaper, and saw that "Jiangning weaving Cao Yin was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Rites" on it, he just thought he was dazzled.

He rubbed his tall eyes, read the line again, and muttered: "Promotion, promotion!"

Speaking of it, with Cao Yin's qualifications, it is more than enough to be promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.It was Li Xu who, after the Longevity Festival last year, even rewarded him with the false title of Minister of the Household Department.

Unexpectedly, the Cao family wanted to leave Jiangning.

Counting from the second year of Kangxi, when Cao Yin's father Cao Xi went to Jiangnan to build a weaving mansion, the Cao family has been in Jiangnan for more than [-] years.Who would have thought that without any movement, the Cao family would leave Jiangnan.

Li Xu put down the residence newspaper in his hand, but his face was cloudy and uncertain, and there was a bit of panic in his heart.

Is the Long Live Lord going to kill the donkey, or is the Cao family conspiring to escape from the Jiangnan officialdom?No matter which one it was, Li Xu felt uneasy in his heart.

The Cao and Li families, whether in the south of the Yangtze River or in the capital, are mostly mentioned together.

The Cao family withdrew from Jiangnan, what about the Li family?

Capital City, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

After Cao Yong came back, he originally wanted to tell Chuyu Xiyun's marriage so that she could feel at ease earlier.However, seeing Xiyun in the room, he was afraid that she would be ashamed, so he didn't say anything, and asked Chuyu, "How is Second Aunt's preparations? Aren't Xiaoer and Xiaosan planning to celebrate the ceremony in October?"

Chu Yu replied: "The second aunt also said today that since the wedding ceremony will be scheduled during the ceremony, she wants to wait for the master and wife to come. The second aunt asked the forehead to go to the south before writing to ask, and see the master and wife in the twelfth month. Can you come to Beijing? If you can, the wedding date will be set in the next year. If you can’t make it in time, just wait a few more months until the master and wife come.”

Cao Yong nodded and said: "That's the best. There hasn't been much fun in the family these years. If the parents come to Beijing and then arrange a happy event, it will also make the two elders happy."

While talking, Xiyun had already taken the little maid to escape.

Cao Yong looked at Xi Yun's back, turned his head, and said to Chu Yu: "I asked Zhang Yi just now, and he seems to have found the right one, and he is very happy. Remember to take the time to arrange the marriage between the two of them."

After hearing this, Chu Yu showed a little joy on her face, and said, "It's so kind! Xiyun has been by my side since I can remember. If I marry outside, I really can't bear it."

Cao Yong said: "In the future, when father and mother arrive, the population in the mansion will increase, and you will need to worry about it. Mother is a good tempered person, so don't be too lenient on your side, so as not to live in uneasy life."

Chu Yu complied, and asked about the birthday gift of Brother Thirteen's residence.Brother Thirteen's birthday is in October, and it's only a few days away.

Cao Yong's opinion here is naturally to be serious, to choose some congratulatory gifts that are both real and not ostentatious.Chu Yu agreed, but it was not easy to give the same gift every year, so she thought about how to change it to a more appropriate gift list.

Cao Yong thought to himself, it will be October, counting the days, Sheng Jia will return to Beijing from Rehe...
