Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 477 Dragon Dance "Annual Ceremony"

Cao Mansion, side hall.

After listening to Cao Fang and Zhao Tong's reply, Cao Yong knew that someone had bribed the "inner ghost" and wanted to add arsenic to the dim sum ingredients, and his face was very dark.

Han Jiangshi is a businessman with limited vision.

If it is really a conflict of interests, put croton powder in it, and if you can't find it out, the effect is still obvious.How could he be an ordinary businessman who dared to use arsenic directly without putting human life in his eyes?

You must know that the word "official" has two mouths, as long as it passes through the Yamen, the family of merchants may go bankrupt.Wasn't Li Wei's business just a lawsuit?
Those businessmen are all taboo about going to court, let alone a family of officials like the Cao family for generations.That's not hitting a rock with a pebble, foolish behavior.

What's more, if you are in the business, you will know that behind Daoxiang Village is the influence of the Prince's Mansion and the Earl's Mansion, so it is not easy to offend.Otherwise, the stumbling block would not have waited until this time.

If the Han Jiang family really made a mistake and didn't notice that the ingredients were poisoned, then the dim sum would be sold...

Thinking of this, Cao Yong could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

He thought about it for a while, and asked Cao Fang, "Whose business is that Fengrunzhai? How did the guy get in touch with that side? Although it's not good to be an official, but you can't be so confused, you have to figure out the enemy. You go to find the two brothers Ren Shuyong and think of a way to match up the two confessions. We can't just rely on one side of the story and wrong one! We can't be frightened in vain."

Cao Fang heard the meaning of Cao Yong's words, hesitated for a while, and asked: "Master, if someone really came to our house to slander, do you want to report to the master first?"

Cao Yong looked at Cao Fang and didn't react for a moment.

Cao Fang hurriedly said: "Master, the capital is no better than Jiangning, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. I always feel that the other party has used such a low-level method, and I am afraid it is forcing us to move. Do more and make more mistakes, do less and do less. Wrong, now that the master has just arrived in the capital, if things get serious, I'm afraid it will involve the master."

After hearing this, Cao Yong couldn't help but wake up.

If this dark matter is done too much, people will lose patience, and when something happens, they will try to solve it directly.Xiaoli's stingy plot always counterattacks passively every time, and he will still be cornered next time.

It's better to learn the way of conspiracy from my father, and think about how to lay it out, with defense and offense, that's the right way.

I also neglected one thing, that is, Cao Fang is different from Wei Hei.

Wei Hei stayed with Cao Yong to protect him by his master's will.Logically speaking, after Cao Yong grew up in peace, Wei Hei could be regarded as having fulfilled his promise to the master and could leave.

Staying in the Cao family is just because of the friendship between the two of them for many years, so it is not considered a servant of the Cao family.

Cao Fang, although he has been serving Cao Yong for many years, he is loyal to the Cao family, not Cao Yong, the young master.

It can't be said that he is unfaithful, it's just that some things are not easy for Cao Fang to handle.

Prince Jane's Mansion, study room.

Yaerjiang looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and asked with a frown, "It's a good shop, how could it have anything to do with the Cao family? What's the origin of the bag who ran away with the money? If you don't believe it, you won't care." In the account, take over the shop."

Hearing this, the man on the ground gave himself a slap in the face, and said: "It's all because of the lard of the slave, he is the cousin of the third concubine of the slave, and although he has some minor problems on a daily basis, he is also considered meticulous in business. The servant saw that he still needed to use it, so he made him the treasurer of Fengrun Zhai."

Yaerjiang impatiently listened to these business matters, waved his hands, and said, "What are you talking about, let's talk about the important ones, I don't have time to listen to your teeth grinding."

The man hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Yes, master. That's what happened. Before that, Bao Er chatted with the servant a few times, saying that the business in Daoxiang Village is good, so why don't you hire some masters over here.

The slave is working by the Lord's side, and knows that our mansion has some friendship with Cao's mansion, and it is also a big property of Chun Wang's mansion, which is not unusual for a small family.

The servant scolded him twice, telling him to make a living with peace of mind. If he wanted to be a master, he also asked people to sign up in other shops or invite people to the south.

Early this morning, something was wrong with Daoxiang Village. It didn't open in the morning as usual, and only opened at noon, selling rice cakes for a while.Their shopkeepers, as well as the stewards of the Cao Mansion, all went to Daoxiang Village.

Bao Er was also wrong, he kept wandering around the street, strolling in front of Daoxiang Village, not knowing what to see.

When the servant got the news, he felt that something was wrong, but there were people around the shop asking for the news, and Bao Er even ran away.

The slave asked a few guys to inquire, and they all said that Bao Er had made a fortune recently, and he had shown off to a few guys in the past few days, saying that he won it from the casino, saying that he was lucky recently, and he wanted to win again.

The servant knows about the boy's gambling, and he always memorizes it to the end, so he never wins.

Although he didn't know what shit the boy had done or what he had messed with, but the slave didn't dare to hide it, so he told the master to see what the rules were.If you don't want to lose the face of the master, that slave deserves to die. "

After hearing this, Yarjan's face turned livid.

Who is Ren, who would not be happy if he was counted on his own head?Thinking about who was doing this, his eyes were a little cold.

Grandma, if the tiger doesn't show its power, is it treating people like sick cats?

"You still don't get up, who are you pretending to be pitiful for?" He drooped his face, and scolded the man on the ground, "You are blind, you can't control your own shorts if all the bastard women are falling to your side. Belt? I remember, didn’t Fujin give you a girl as a concubine the year before last, why did you put away the third wife again?”

The man on the ground is named Fushun, Yaerjiang Ah's nanny brother, and he is the most loyal. If it were someone else, he would just hide it from him if something like this happened. How could anyone take the initiative to scold him?
Fu Shun got up obediently, and replied in a low voice: "Isn't this slave looking forward to a son? After giving birth to four maids in a row, he is looking forward to a son, so that he can serve the little master in the future, right? We quarreled with each other and were scolded as extinct. The slave really can't hold his head up."

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Yaerjiang laughed and scolded: "Look at you, what kind of rare thing is this woman? If you want to have a baby, just buy three or five girls and put them in the house, get some good medicine, and take care of yourself." Work hard, next year the Lord will prepare a red envelope for your son."

"Thank you for the good words, master. This slave is determined to work hard and live up to the teachings of the master." Fu Shun heard this, knelt down quickly, and kowtowed a few times.

After finishing the gossip, Yaerjiang stopped the smile on his face and said: "Cao Yong is a man who knows how to deal with things, and he won't make grudges with this side for nothing. Let people go to Daoxiang Village to find out what happened, that dog Is the servant gnawed beans in other people's shop, or is it arsenic, you need to find out clearly. If the other party keeps it secret, you should brighten up the sign of our palace and let them send a message to Cao Yong to make up his mind. Let's see how he responds? "

"Hey!" Fushun agreed, and was just about to tell Yaerjiang that it was my mother's [-]th birthday in a few days, and I asked the master to give me a favor to have a drink, when I heard footsteps outside, and then someone said: "Cousin is in the house Is it?"

Hearing this voice, Yaerjiang'a showed a little smile on his face, and said, "Namin, what are you doing dishonestly with your sisters-in-law, and running to the front yard mischievously?"

"Hee hee...my cousin wronged me, I am not naughty, I came here with my cousin sister-in-law." Following the crisp voice, a round-faced girl of twelve or three years old followed Ji Fujin Wanyan Yongjia into the study, Followed by her maidservant, she held a two or three-year-old girl in her arms.

This round-faced girl is the "Namin" in Yaerjiang's mouth. She is the daughter of Yaerjiang's uncle Zuoling Cai Fu, and her old surname is Xilinjueluo.Because he lost his mother in the early years and a stepmother was added to the family, he hid in the palace.

Next year is the year of the draft, and Cai Fu also hoped to be able to borrow the glory of the palace, so he wished that his daughter would stay here to learn the rules, get to know the nobles in the palace, so that she could arrange a decent marriage in the clan.

Fu Shun had already retreated to the side with his hands down, bowed and said, "I have seen Fujin, Miss Biao, and Liu Gege."

Yongjia nodded in return, Fushun bowed to Yaerjiang'a again, and retreated.

"Ama!" The little girl in the mother's arms was full of joy when she saw Yarjiang Ah, and stretched out her hand to hug him.

Yaerjiang's relationship with this Fujin successor is mediocre, but he loves this prostitute very much.Therefore, he took two steps forward, took his daughter over, and asked with a smile: "Zhen'er has changed into new clothes, are you going to follow Er Niang to grandma's house?"

Zhen'er nodded vigorously, looked back at her mother with a smile, then at Namin, turned around and stroked Yarjan's beard, and said coquettishly: "Ama, Ama, aunt is going too, grandma's house is good The pastry to eat."

Yaerjiang was surprised when he heard this, and smiled at Yongjia and Namin: "I can't blame this little guy for messing with grandma's house two days ago. I remember the delicious food here." After finishing speaking, he said to Yongjia: "Definitely Go back tomorrow?"

Yongjia nodded and said: "Well, it seems that the new year is coming, and there are many parties at the end of the year and the first month, and I don't know when I will be free. It just so happens that I have prepared some new year's goods here. I can bring Zhen'er back with me, and I can accompany Ah Ma'er Niang speaks well."

Seeing Yongjia's deserted appearance, Yaerjiang felt quite strange, and said, "How is your father-in-law? It's not a problem that Shanyu has been outside Beijing, or the king will send someone to the Ministry of War Say hello, tell him to be transferred to the capital?"

In the conversation, there seemed to be a bit of flattery.

It's rare to see him take the initiative to show his favor, and Yongjia still can't stand it.But concerning the elder brother, she still felt a little worried in her heart, leaned over and said: "If that's the case, please trouble the prince."

Na Minyuan was listening, and seeing the husband and wife respecting each other like guests, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Although Yarjana and her are cousins, the eldest daughter is older than her, and she is only treated as her daughter.Seeing her joking, she said, "What are you laughing at? You don't want to leave the house tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Namin was not afraid of him, hugged Yongjia's arm, and said with a smile: "My cousin won't let me go, so Min'er begged my cousin, who loves Min'er the most!"

Zhen'er came to Yaerjiang Ahuai, shaved her face with her small hands, and said, "My aunt is ashamed, so she knows how to act like a baby with Er Niang."

Looking at her daughter's cute appearance, Yaerjiang'a felt that all the bad luck was swept away, and laughed "haha" twice.

Zhen'er giggled, Namin laughed too, Yongjia lowered his eyelids, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Could it be that this is the so-called blessing? Why is it like a play, which makes people watch the excitement, but it doesn't warm up in the heart...

Send away several brother-in-law brother-in-law, Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

Neersu and Seishtu don't need to worry about him, they both have a capacity for drinking, besides, Seishtu changed his tea because of his filial piety; Cao Yong has experienced Sun Jue's wine taste, so he really dare not Complimentary.

After all, she is the eldest son-in-law of the Cao family, so Cao Ying's face is more or less up to her. If there is any unpleasantness, everyone will look bad.

Cao Yong was on the wine table, so he kept an eye on Sun Jue, wishing he could snatch his wine cup and make him drink less.

Because of the big day, Cao Yin and Naersu Weng were very interested, and Sun Jue was also accompanying him one cup after another.

Seeing Cao Yong, he had no choice but to persuade everyone to drink less.Even if Sun Jue had nothing to do with him, Cao Yin was getting old after all, and he was suffering from hangovers one after another in the past two days, so Cao Yong was also worried that his drinking would hurt his health.

It was only then that everyone drank slowly, and chatted while eating, and they also ate until this hour.

Back in the inner house, Cao Yong first went to Lan Yuan to see his parents.

Because her daughter and niece came back, Mrs. Li was also happy, and she ate a few cups with a little drunkenness on her face.

When Cao Yong entered the room, Cao Yin was leaning on the kang with a towel on his head, and Mrs. Li was asking about the situation of grandchildren's arrangement.

Seeing his son coming in, Mrs. Li hurriedly smiled and waved, and said: "I heard from your father that both your brothers-in-law can drink. Is Yong'er drunk? I have asked someone to make a soup for understanding wine and sent it to your room." .”

Cao Yong glanced at his father, shook his head, and said: "The son is not drunk, is the father okay?"

Cao Yin just squinted his eyes and fell asleep. Hearing his son's question, he opened his eyes and said, "I'm not drunk, and you've been tired for the past two days. Go back and rest if you have nothing to do!"

"Yes!" Cao Yong responded, nodded at his mother, and left the room.

Indus Court, the upper room.

Chu Yu sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the necklace on it, frowned slightly, with some doubts in his eyes, and murmured: "Bracelet, bracelet, necklace..."
