Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 467

As the saying goes, "Suspicion breeds dark ghosts", sometimes, even without evidence, something can be confirmed.For example, the current Ninth Brother.

He only felt that he was furious, his lungs were going to explode, he spat vigorously, and cursed: "This bastard, feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

Who is a fool or a lunatic who dares to go to the court and send Hai Dongqing to die?
Rao is an ignorant commoner who also knows that the power of the sky is unpredictable, let alone those prince elder brothers who grew up watching the emperor's father's face since childhood?
Which mistakes can be made and which ones cannot, there is always a villain in their hearts watching with a whip.

It is a matter of life and death, honor and disgrace, who dares to deal with it at will?

Although Feng Qianchao is the eighth elder brother's confidant, he usually has contacts with the fourteenth elder brother, and seems to have received his favor.Thinking of this, Brother Jiu only felt that the truth was about to come out, and immediately his teeth itched with hatred, and he cursed endlessly.

He really wanted to enter the palace right away and ask Brother Fourteen if his conscience was eaten by a dog?Brothers have been together for more than 20 years, how does the eighth elder brother treat him, and how does his own brother from the same mother treat him?
Even brothers and sisters are nothing more than that.

However, he resisted.

The fourteenth elder brother is no longer what it used to be. In the past few years, he has been doing ministerial affairs, not to mention, and he is also very favored.

"Little elder brother? Little elder brother!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Jiu elder brother's mouth.

It really didn't occur to him that this old thirteen was unlucky, which made the fourteenth elder brother more and more valued by the emperor's father.Perhaps at that time, he had the idea of ​​self-reliance.

Thinking about it carefully, in the past few years, he can be regarded as being good and selling well.

Although after "abandoning the prince", he was punished because of the pleading of the eighth elder brother, and in the end he was praised by the emperor's father, thinking that he was an act of "filial piety".

The more Brother Nine thought about it, the more transparent his heart became, and he felt unspeakable regret.I have long seen that the fourteenth elder brother is inappropriate, and I have told the eighth elder brother several times, but I always feel that it is not a big deal and I don't take it to heart.

Now, it is too late to regret.

However, the fourteenth elder brother had a good idea. Did he think that if the eighth elder brother was brought down, everyone would work hard for him?

Thinking of this, Brother Jiu's expression gradually calmed down.

No matter what you want to do, can you do it without money?With the money in his hands, whether to continue to support the eighth elder brother, or to negotiate terms with the old fourteenth, that is still up to him.

In the end, it was difficult to understand, Brother Jiu slapped the table hard, causing his wrist to hurt.

"A dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix." Concubine De is famous for her smirk, and the fourth elder brother is moody. Why did they trust the fourteenth elder brother so gullibly?

Cao Mansion, study room.

"Brother Fourteen?" Cao Yin was a little surprised when he heard Cao Yong transfer his words to Brother Fourteen.

Brother Fourteen was born in the 27th year of Kangxi. He is 27 this year, which is not too young in terms of age.But compared with other older elder brothers, he has no qualifications, and has not opened a family, so he can be regarded as a "little elder brother".

In the eyes of the courtiers, the fourteenth elder brother has always been attached to the eighth elder brother by the party, and has not cultivated his own power, nor is he among the few elder brothers who have the strength to compete for the reserve.

Cao Yin frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "You mean that the eighth elder brother is determined to seize the crown, so he turns behind the scenes and pushes the fourteenth elder brother to the front?"

Cao Yong didn't know whether it was the eighth elder brother who pushed it, or the fourteenth elder brother himself.So, he shook his head and said, "This son doesn't know!"

Among the elder brothers of the "Baye Party", the ninth elder brother is keen on business affairs and the benefits of money and money, and has been warned several times; Sick seedlings "recover" all year round.

Therefore, after the eighth elder brother was rejected by Kangxi, only the fourteenth elder brother can be pushed to the table.

If this is the case, then the one who made the biggest profit in the "Eagle Killing Incident" wasn't Elder Fourteen?

Thinking of this, Cao Yin looked at Cao Yong and said, "Could it be that Brother Fourteen has such a scheming plan?"

No one can say whether the eighth elder brother was plotted against and tampered with on Haidongqing; or it was bad luck, the two birds of prey fell ill themselves.

Although Cao Yin, Cao Yong and his son both suspect Brother Fourteen, they can only be suspicious, and they are not sure.

After all, even if Hai Dongqing was tampered with, it was still a confidential matter, so there is no such thing as conclusive evidence.

These royal affairs are really complicated. Although Cao Yin and Cao Yong have no intention of mixing, they are also on guard so as not to accidentally commit taboos and cause disasters.

The father and son were chatting when they heard the footsteps of "Deng Deng", and then heard the young man outside the door saying: "Master, Uncle, Second Master is back!"

"Uncle is in the study?" Cao Song's voice was somewhat joyful.

He has been working in Changchun Garden for the past few days, because Tong Shi's colleague took sick leave, and one person was on duty for two people, so he had to go back to the city in time, so he only had a rest today.

Hearing his nephew's voice, Cao Yin frowned inadvertently, and said loudly: "Song'er, come in!"

"Yes!" Cao Song responded respectfully, and entered the room through the curtain.

The moment Cao Song saw Cao Yin, Cao Song lifted his front skirt, put his knees on the ground, saluted, and said, "My nephew greets uncle!"

Cao Yin saw that he was wearing an almost new bodyguard uniform, he was strong and solid, his face was full of kindness, he raised his hands, and said: "They are all from my family, why are you making such a fuss? Get up quickly."

Cao Song helped Cao Yin's arm to get up, looked carefully at Cao Yin, saw that his head had more white hair than last spring, felt sour, and said with red circles: "Uncle, you are still in good health. ? Eldest brother is in the middle of the capital, and he often misses his uncle and aunt, even his nephew, and he also wants to be filial to his uncle as soon as possible!"

Cao Yin's eyes fell on the little finger of Cao Song's left hand, but there was only reproach on his face.

Although wearing silver finger gloves, you can't see where the broken bones are, but thinking of a handsome man, you have forgotten the way of filial piety, and self-mutilation for the sake of a woman, this is really not a commendable act.

Seeing his uncle looking at his left hand, Cao Song hurriedly withdrew his hand, hid his left hand in his sleeve, and looked at Cao Yong next to him with a bit of anxiety. He had nothing to say, and said: "Brother, today Er Xueda, was that elder brother okay when he came back from the yamen?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Well, it's okay!"

Cao Song smiled innocently, scratched his head, glanced at Cao Yin cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, my nephew wants to pay my respects to my aunt first!"

"Hmph!" Cao Yin took two steps back, shook his sleeves, looked at Cao Song and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. I heard that you are now promising, and you dare to disobey your parents. Marriage matters, and you dare to take care of yourself. gone?"

When it came to the end, Cao Yin was already somewhat annoyed.

Seeing that Cao Yin was angry, Cao Song didn't dare to defend himself, so he immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Uncle, please calm down, my nephew already knows it's wrong!"

Speaking of Cao Song's marriage, Cao Yin remembered Jinghui's background, not only the niece of Gali, but also the girl who retired from the Li family.With such an embarrassing status, what kind of good words can there be for relatives in the future?
Cao Song is the eldest son of the second family. If he wants to support the family, the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law must also be selected safely.

Seeing Cao Song knelt down, Cao Yin didn't bother to help, and continued to teach: "For a woman, the house is disturbed. Will it continue to make trouble in the future? Before getting married, the Dong E family has lost their lives. How can you be qualified to be the wife of the Cao family if you have learned the ways of women?"

These words were indeed harsh, not only Cao Song's face changed, Cao Yong also frowned slightly, and he had to defend Jing Hui.

Cao Yin was really angry, how could he listen?

It's just that he has always regarded himself as a gentleman, and he can't say anything that is too ugly.

Cao Song respected his uncle like a father in his heart, and he really didn't want him to misunderstand Jinghui, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, Jinghui is not that kind of person, it is my nephew who has a desire to cling to him, and that's why the incident happened later. What's wrong with Jinghui?"

Cao Yin glanced at Cao Song's finger, and said: "Shou's parents, you cut off her fingers for her to threaten your loving relatives. If she wants face, how can she have face to enter the gate of Cao's house?"

Seeing that Cao Yin had such a deep prejudice against Jinghui, Cao Song wanted to defend him, but was stopped by Cao Yong.

Cao Yong patted Cao Song's shoulder and said: "My wife hasn't seen you for a few days, and I've talked about it several times. You should go to the backyard to greet my wife. If your sister-in-law is here, just say I'm here to talk to the master, and I'll talk to you later." go back."

No matter how naive Cao Songrao was, he also looked at his brother to rescue him, and looked at Cao Yin with a bit of pleading eyes.

With a gloomy face, Cao Yin waved his hands and said, "Go, your mother is here, you have to remember what the eldest son does."

Cao Song respectfully agreed and withdrew.

Cao Yin was still angry, frowned and said to Cao Yong: "You are an elder brother, why didn't you stop him before and let him mess around? Dong E's family retired from your uncle's family, how will your mother get along with you in the future?" ?”

Cao Yong, however, was somewhat indisputable. After all, this marriage could be accomplished because of his connivance.

He knew in his heart that the reason why Cao Yin had a prejudice against Jinghui was mostly because of the Li family.In fact, even when it comes to coming here before, the Li family is not kind, so what does it have to do with Jinghui, a little girl?

Jinghui's body is already miserable, Cao Yong doesn't want his father to misunderstand him again, and make his face look like something when he gets along with him in the future, saying: "Father can rest assured, Jinghui has a soft temper and behaves well, and she must be speculative with her mother. "

Hearing Cao Yong call Dong E Jinghui's name directly, Cao Yin's eyebrows twitched together, and he scolded: "That is your younger brother and sister who have never been married. You are an uncle, how can you just call him by her boudoir name? Although in the early years She has been by your husband and wife's side, and you should be closer to each other, so you have to avoid suspicion."

Cao Yong was so choked that he couldn't say a word, Hao Xuan didn't cough.

From where to where, starting from Fu Cha's house, isn't it my cousin?How come you can't afford to be called by your name and want to avoid suspicion?

Cao Yin seemed unwilling to continue this topic, glanced at the unopened letters on the desk, and said, "Go back first, I still need to read a few letters!"

Cao Yong was also somewhat dispirited, so he responded and went out.

The father and son were talking well, but why they suddenly put up the father's score is really confusing.

*
Lanyuan, go to the room.

Mrs. Li was talking to Mrs. Zhao Jia, Hang Seng and Tianyou were swinging a few little cloth tigers on the kang, Chuyu was standing by, listening to the elders talking, and at the same time taking care of the children not to fall off the kang.

After saying a few homely things, Zhao Jia couldn't help it.

She smoked her nose twice, quickly took out a snuff bottle from her purse, unscrewed it, put it under her nose and sniffed a few times to feel at ease.

Mrs. Li doesn't eat cigarettes, and she can't smell the smell of smoke, so when Mrs. Zhao Jia came from Dongfu, she didn't bring a cigarette bag and pot, but only found a snuff bottle for emergency.

When Mrs. Li saw it, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said: "It's just a lot of work for us, and I took several puffs of cigarettes! I saw that my brother and sister are more addicted to cigarettes than when they were in the south. What kind of refreshment is it? Does it hurt your body? There has to be a degree."

Zhao Jia smiled wryly, looked at the snuff bottle, and said: "What can I do, these children are grown up, there is no one to worry about, if they don't take two puffs of cigarettes, they may have already laid down! "

In the past two days, Zhao Jia has complained about the two marriages several times.

Mrs. Li had already said what should be comforted, so she could only say: "Think about everything, as long as the children are safe, isn't it better than anything else? Besides, the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law are both from rich families. This behavior is not good enough. Alright, brothers and sisters, don't be too picky!"

"A big family? Tsk tsk, this city is full, who doesn't know that her family is indeed a big family!" Mrs. Zhao Jia curled her lips and said.

Speaking of Jing Hui's background, not to mention Zhao Jia's family, even Li's family is a little bit uncomfortable.

It's just that it's about to enter the door, and it's not a good thing for a family to be separated, so she had to ask a few more words of persuasion.

Outside Lanyuan, Cao Yong saw Cao Song standing at the door, and said: "It's so cold, why are you standing here stupidly? Don't you want to greet your aunt?"

Cao Song hesitated for a moment, looked at Cao Yong and said, "Brother, if Auntie is also annoyed, how can it be good..."
