Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 496

Dongjiang Rice Lane, Chunjun Prince's Mansion.

Even though it was the New Year's Eve, and the Fujins were smiling, but the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, and there was no joy at all.

Especially the side Fujin Nala's expression was the most rigid, and his whole body became thinner, looking as if he was a few years older.

Eldest elder brother Hong Shu had a son-in-law half a month ago, and because of the weak womb, he hasn't lost the decoction since he landed.

Now, although the little elder brother is not yet full moon, but listening to the doctor's opinion, he can only do his best and obey the destiny.

Nalashi has been looking forward to this grandson for several years, but now he has not hugged him warmly in his arms, so why not feel sad?
After all, he is the eldest grandson of the palace, and even Chun Wang Fujin, the first grandmother, is a little bit reluctant, but there is no other way.Now, I can only ask doctors and medicines everywhere, hoping for some hope.

Seeing that the son-in-law Cao Yong came to pay New Year's greetings, but did not bring his grandson, Chun Wang Fujin and Fang Fujin Nala's family were a little worried.

After Cao Yong gave everyone a New Year's greeting, Chun Wang Fujin hurriedly asked: "Where are the two brothers? Why didn't you bring them back?"

Although Hang Seng was not from Chu Yu, he had followed Chu Yu back to the palace twice before, and Chun Wang Fujin was also very rare for this grandson.

It is needless to say about Tianyou's grandson.

Cao Yong replied: "I didn't bring them here today because I thought about the two of them, Chu Liu and Chu Yu coming back."

Chunwang Fujin was overjoyed when he heard the words, the sixth day is usually the day when a girl who goes out of the house returns to her natal home.

Although it turned out that she was pinching her fingers and looking forward to it, but because Cao Yin and his wife were celebrating the New Year in Beijing for the first time in these years, and Chuyu's daughter-in-law was naturally much busier, so she didn't have much hope in her heart.

Now listening to what Cao Yong said, Da Gege returned to the province on the sixth day of junior high school, and several Fujins all brought out some joy.

Even when Brother Seven heard the words, his originally tense expression eased a little. .

After performing the ceremony, Cao Yong received the rewards from the elders, and accompanied Seventh Brother to the study in the front yard to speak.

Seventh elder brother sat down by himself, pointed to a chair, asked Cao Yong to sit too, and said: "The medicinal materials you sent someone a few days ago have already been used by your nephew. It's hard for you to worry about the Chinese New Year." For a while, with a bit of fatigue.

Seeing him like this, Cao Yong felt quite sad in his heart.

Among the brothers-in-law in Prince Chun's residence, because Hong Shu was older, he had the most contact with Cao Yong, and the relationship between them was particularly close.For this kind-hearted and honest brother-in-law, Cao Yong has always been treated as his own brother.

I remember that when Tianhui was full moon, Hongshu also said that Cao Yong would not have to worry about his daughter's future and could be his daughter-in-law.

A few days ago, when his son had just landed, Hong Shu was also overjoyed, and personally went over to announce the good news to his sister and brother-in-law.In front of Cao Yong, he also talked about his feelings about being Ama.

It's only half a month's work, but it's full of waves. A good child is about to be lost...

After the seventh elder brother finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.For those who celebrate the New Year, what to say and do is just uncomfortable.

He rubbed his forehead and said to Cao Yong: "How are your parents? I thought I would invite them to a banquet in the first month, but now there are a lot of things in the house, so I don't care about it. Let me ask my in-laws, okay?" !"

Cao Yong agreed, and Brother Qi asked a few more words about his New Year's arrangements.

Hearing that there was a "group worship" at the Taipu Temple, Brother Seven looked at the clock placed on the desk and said, "Since I'm busy, I'll go back first. Da Gege and the children will be picked up on the sixth day of the Wangfu. If there is anything in your house that is not cheap, then send someone over to talk about it."

"Understood, father-in-law, the son-in-law will go back first, and come back to pay his respects to father-in-law in two days." Cao Yong saw that it was late, so he took advantage of the trend and said goodbye to the seventh elder brother.

Seventh elder brother was about to make someone call the housekeeper to send Cao Yong out, when he heard the boy outside the door report that Hong Shu had returned.

Hong Shu didn't see any change, he smiled and met his brother-in-law.

He ran outside for a while, paid homage to both his father-in-law's house and his uncle's house, and then came back.

Cao Yong was going to Xidan Archway, and after talking to Hongshu, he didn't stay long and came out of the palace.

Hongshu personally sent him out of the mansion, thinking about the situation of the little elder brother, Cao Yong patted Hongshu's shoulder and said: "If you want to relax and feel uncomfortable, you can come to find brother-in-law, and brother-in-law will accompany you for a drink. "

Hong Shu smiled wryly and nodded, and said: "In the end, it's my brother-in-law who hurts me, and I really can't do anything about it. It's my blessing to make Ama and my sisters feel uneasy about the New Year's Eve... But I can only hold on, and I have to put a smile on my face in front of people, otherwise I will show something, and Borzigit’s side may not be able to survive. I didn’t feel it before I had this child. I know that being a parent is not easy. It’s really hard to sleep in the middle of the night, because I’m afraid of getting up early and hearing bad news from my little brother..."

Only by raising children can you know the kindness of your parents, that's what it says.

Cao Yong has a son and a daughter, and he has been a "father" for several years, and he is very worried about this.What's more, there is such a thing as Tianhui, if he compares his heart with his heart, he can understand Hongshu's sadness.

It's a matter of life and death, and the relationship between the flesh and blood, no amount of comfort is vain.

In addition to lamenting the level of medical care in this era, Cao Yong can only sigh with Hongshu.

When he came out of King Chun's mansion, Cao Yong saw that it was not early, so he urged his horse to go to Xidan archway.

The restaurant here was set up by Yidu. Cao Yong had been here earlier, and he found it as soon as he looked for it.

In the middle of the restaurant, Wang Jingzeng, Yi Duli, Tang Zhiyu and all the officials of Taipusi had already arrived.Everyone was already seated, drinking tea and chatting, waiting for Cao Yong to open the banquet.

Seeing that Cao Yong finally arrived, everyone got up, those who waved their sleeves to pay New Year's greetings, those who bowed their hands, and those who made any kind of salute.

Yi Duli added a bit of joy to his face, and hurriedly called Xiaoer over, ready to start the banquet.

When Cao Yong saw that everyone had arrived, he felt a little ashamed. He clasped his fists and apologized to everyone, saying: "I'm entangled in family affairs and mundane affairs. I'm sorry for the delay, my lords."

Everyone laughed together, and said, "Your Excellency, you are welcome!"

Wang Jing once got up with the crowd to greet Cao Yong, but he was somewhat reluctant in his heart.

Tang Zhiyu smiled, but did not respond.Only Yi Duli was the most familiar with Cao Yong, and he said to Cao Yong with a smile: "My lord, you can't just make up for it with empty teeth. Three cups of fine wine is a must, and you have to..."

Speaking of this, he happened to see the offerings in front of the statue of the God of Wealth arched in the lobby of the restaurant, and said: "It is better to bring out some real things to let everyone enjoy the joy of the New Year. The cakes of Daoxiang Village, everyone Five catties, what do you think is okay?"

He asked the last sentence to his colleagues in the class.

Beijing officials are poor, and low-level Beijing officials are even poorer.

The low-level Beijing officials in the Qingshui yamen have low income and high expenses, and they don't have such things as "ice respect" and "charcoal respect", and some of them are not as rich as ordinary people.

Some people have only heard about the dim sum in Daoxiang Village, but have never eaten it.

After listening to Yi Duli's words, many people naturally made fun of it, and they heard a lot of echoes.

Knowing that none of the chief officials were mean, someone asked with a smile, "Is it possible to change the Lantern Festival or the boxed dishes? It just so happens that the Lantern Festival is the occasion to cook glutinous rice balls and eat meat!"

Whether it's the pastry in Daoxiang Village or the boxed dishes in the butcher shop, the market only opens on the sixth day of the lunar new year.Stay at home for a few days, just to have a good festival.

Yi Duli looked at Cao Yong with a smile, and said: "Haha, since that's the case, everyone should pay more respect to Mr. Cao, if it doesn't work, it will be done!"

Cao Yong had nothing to say, smiled and nodded at everyone, saying: "There are Yuanxiao, and there are box dishes. Although I want to express my heart, if I am rash, I will look down on you. In this way, I will find a way to see Let's see if we can find some welfare money from the yamen's account. I personally give one to the yamen, but the yamen hasn't opened the seal fifteen years ago, so will it be sent to the houses of the adults, or everyone will go to the yamen Take it yourself, please adults do it yourself."

When everyone heard the words, they applauded.

Only Wang Jing was there, feeling quite neglected, and felt uncomfortable.He heard "Daoxiang Village" very familiar, thinking that it seemed to be the property of Mrs. Cao Yong's wife, he couldn't help but frown.

The other officials were originally put on airs and did not want to be greeted by the chief.Now after hearing this arrangement, I also feel that I have saved face, and a little genuine joy is added to my face.

Amidst the bustle and bustle, the Taipusi Yamen's New Year's Day banquet began...

Fucha Mansion, living room.

Fu Nai and Yiergenjueluo were sitting in the hall, looking at Cao Song with a smile.Ergenjueluo said a few words about homework, and then asked about Jinghui's recent situation.

Although the sixth day of the lunar new year is the day when a married woman returns home, Jinghui is the new daughter-in-law, and it is at the time when the rules are being established in her husband's house.

However, having said that, Jinghui left the pavilion on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. On the third day of the first lunar month, it was "Double Nine", and on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, she lived in "Double Moon".

Calculated in this way, even if he can't pick up on the sixth day, it will only be a few days late. Although Yiergenjueluo misses his niece, thinking of this, he is not in a hurry.

"Grandpa, it just happened to be the Lantern Festival, which is the day when you live in the 'contrary moon'. Would you like to send someone to pick Jinghui back then? Besides the mansion here, the old lady in Fang's Hutong also has to go back to see her. Look. The old man is in his eighties after all, and he misses his granddaughter." Yiergenjueluo said.

Cao Song heard that it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and remembered the separation of the family after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that his uncle had lived.

After hesitating for a while, he raised his head and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm afraid it won't work on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the days of living in the 'Duiyue' will have to be postponed for a while."

Ergen felt that Luo Shi was surprised when he heard the words, and said with some puzzlement: "Why did you postpone it? Isn't it just Jinghui, a daughter-in-law in your family, who is too busy to leave."

Cao Song did not return to the question of Ergenjueluo, but continued: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, after the Lantern Festival, our family will be separated, and we will be busy at that time, I am afraid that we will not be able to live in 'Diayue' for a while. , so my son-in-law said to see if it could be delayed."

Ergen felt that Luo Shi was already stunned, and Fu Nai was also full of astonishment. After a while, he asked, "What is this called? Do you mean 'separation'?"

Cao Song squeezed out a smile, and nodded pretending to be relaxed.

Fu Nai grabbed the handle of the chair, frowned, and asked, "Why did you split up so easily? But is there something naughty about your brothers that annoyed your uncle? Or... or is it your uncle who wants to save worry and make excuses?" Your brothers are married, and you propose to divide the family..."

Cao Song listened to the front, wondering if he should nod.

After hearing that Cao Yin was involved, he hurriedly waved his hands vigorously and said, "Father-in-law, don't misunderstand, it was my son-in-law who mentioned the separation. I'm already 21, I'm already [-], so I can't rely on it like this." Uncle lives a lifetime."

Hearing this, Fu Nai calmed down a little, shook his head, and said, "You're right, but it's just too reckless. The capital city is no better than Jiangning, and the water is deep. You're rash enough to separate the family to be the head of the family, and you can't handle it well. At the least, it is the great crime of ruining the family and exterminating the family.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Song and said, "It happens that I'm going to visit your house tomorrow, why don't I talk to your uncle and talk about the 'separation' thing slowly. I have to wait for your two little brothers It would be more appropriate to talk about it after getting married."

Seeing that Fu Nai was talking to himself, Cao Song got up quickly and said, "Thank you father-in-law for worrying, but after all, it's the son-in-law's family business, so it's not good to work too hard on father-in-law. After the son-in-law begged repeatedly, uncle has already nodded, and even mentioned that he will invite father-in-law The uncle of the same son-in-law is a middleman. The son-in-law has nothing else to ask for, except that when the father-in-law is a witness of the middleman, he will help to make a fair share."

"Fair?" Fu Nai muttered, with a strange expression on his face: "No, your uncle is not that kind of person, how could you treat your brothers badly?"

Cao Song shook his head vigorously, and said: "Father-in-law misunderstood, my son-in-law is not afraid of my uncle's mistreatment, but because of my uncle's sympathy for our brothers, he is partial to us. These years, my uncle has taken care of me a lot, how can I be thick-skinned What are you taking more of?"

Hearing Cao Song's words, Fu Nai couldn't help but feel a little moved. He nodded to Cao Song and said, "I am not greedy for money, I know how to be grateful, Jinghui didn't marry the wrong person..."
