Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 571
Standing on the corridor, listening to the midwife in the room saying "born with a vision", Cao Yong's heart moved, could it be that his little brother was "born with jade"?
In that case, it is really too strange.

If it is said that there is a blood clot in the palm of the hand, or a blood clot in the mouth, it may be possible.

This "title jade" is really an unexplainable phenomenon.

A fire has been lit in the upper room, and thick felt curtains have been replaced.When Cao Yong picked up the door curtain and entered, Cao Yin was listening to the old woman's "different phase" with all his attention.

"Young master has a seven-star mole on the top of his head. It must be the reincarnation of a boy in front of the Immortal Sovereign. The fate of being rich and powerful..." The midwife smiled all over her face, flattering "Barla", "Barla".

Before Cao Yin regained his composure, Chu Yu had asked someone to wrap up a silver seal to thank the midwife.

Zhao Jia was beside her, but curled her lips and said nothing.

"Forehead son-in-law?" Chu Yu was the first to see Cao Yong, and couldn't help but burst into joy. Then, thinking that she was in front of her elders, she changed her address again: "Master..."

Cao Yong nodded to his wife and met Cao Yin first.

Cao Yin was the only one who knew that Cao Yong was injured.The moment he saw his son, he couldn't help losing his composure. He helped Cao Yong's arm, his hands trembling, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing the tears in the corners of Cao Yin's eyes, Cao Yong felt quite touched when he thought about what happened in Uliasu Terrace before, and said in a deep voice: "My son is not filial, he will return after a long journey, how can father be safe?"

"An! Ann! My son... my son..." Cao Yin was very moved, and carefully looked Cao Yong up and down, as if to see that there was something wrong with him.

Cao Yong sighed in his heart, knowing that the news spread to the capital in the past two months must have worried his father, and said: "The son is just a little impatient with the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and he didn't suffer any hardships. Father don't need to worry."

Seeing that his son looked the same, Cao Yin was slightly relieved, coughed, and said: "That's good, the body is healthy, the parents should know how to take care of themselves, and don't let us be old." If you follow your heart, you will be considered a great filial piety."

"Yes!" Cao Yong bowed his head and listened, and then he saluted in front of Zhao Jia.

Seeing that Cao Yong was wearing a royal blue jacket, Zhao Jia's eyes turned red, and said: "Brother Yong, San'er is gone. He also listened to you when he was alive. You must remember to go and see him. The girl in San'er's room I gave birth to a boy last month, who has no father and no mother, but he is pitiful, and I am getting old, so I will have to have your cousin to help me take care of him in the future."

Jinghui stood behind her mother-in-law, but her face was a little panicked.

Today is the day when the long house has a baby, and it is time to rejoice, but it is not appropriate to mention the funeral.

Although Cao Yong didn't like to see Zhao Jia in his heart, but when he saw that she had aged several years in half a year, and her hair was half gray, he couldn't bear it, and replied: "Second wife, please mourn, take care of yourself, don't Make the underground people uneasy."

Zhao Jia took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears, nodded, and said: "The son is the flesh of the mother. The pain of cutting the flesh is just to say yes? Brother Yong, you should also remember that the mother is not good. It's easy, you have to be more filial to your mother in the future."

Seeing her rambling, Cao Yong had to say a few more words with her.

Afterwards, he asked Jinghui about Cao Song's recent situation, before Cao Yong walked up to his wife and said in a low voice, "I haven't been home for half a year, thank you for your hard work!"

Chu Yu shook her head, but tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, looking at Cao Yong's dark and thin face, her eyes showed worry.

Zhao Jia has seen Cao Yong, but he can't wait to see his new nephew.After nagging for a few words, she brought Jinghui and Chuyu into the delivery room.

Although Cao Yin was also thinking about it, but the current rules, before this "three washes", only women of the same clan can enter the delivery room, even husbands and sons have to avoid entering the delivery room.

When Zhao Jia and the others entered the delivery room, Cao Yin took his son to the east room, and said, "I asked the sixteenth master, I heard that you were wounded on your chest, how is the wound now, or else, please ask an imperial doctor to come over carefully Give you a diagnosis? If you hurt your lungs carefully, it will be a lifetime thing. "

Cao Yong stroked his chest, shook his head, and said: "Father, don't worry, the wound is not deep. After two months of treatment, he has recovered. But I want to congratulate my father. The sixtieth birthday is a sign of family prosperity. .”

Cao Yin is 58 this year, and he will be [-] in two years. It makes sense to talk about sixtieth additions.

After Cao Yin heard his son's words, the corners of his mouth turned up, with a bit of complacency.Immediately, thinking that his eldest grandson was already four years old, and that he, an old man, had just landed, he coughed and his old face turned red.

Cao Yong looked at his father, thinking in his heart that it was the history of the Cao family known to later generations.

Cao Yin has only two sons, but this old man is not recorded in history. Is it the influence of butterfly wings?

Seeing his son looking at him, Cao Yin felt a little uncomfortable, and asked embarrassingly, "The Ministry of War has appointed a bridegroom again. What vacancy do you want to fill this time, but there is news?"

When he heard that he was the head of the House of Internal Affairs, Cao Yin couldn't help being stunned.

Cao Yong became an official as a young man, worked in many yamen, and also served as a court official in Taipu Temple.Either it is a light provincial yamen, or it is not the chief official.

Although the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not of high rank, he is a prominent position.

This is the emperor's retainer. If Jane is not in the Sacred Heart, it is impossible for ordinary people to be promoted to this position.

Cao Yin and his father Cao Xi were both officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for two generations, and they held the position of "Jiangning weaving doctor".Now in Cao Yong's generation, he has become the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

For a moment, Cao Yin didn't know whether he should be proud of his son's achievements, or ashamed of being surpassed by his son, and his heart was very complicated...

Although Cao Yong went back to Beijing by car, he was a little tired after all. After talking with his father for a while, his face became tired.

When Cao Yin saw him, he sent him back to rest first.

Having said that, Cao Yong still has things to do. Even if there are new officials in the Ministry of War, there still needs to be some handover.The official department also needs to report the relevant procedures.

At the beginning, he left Beijing by order, but his majesty Ulia Sutai had seen him, so he didn't need to go to the imperial court.But, after all, the person came back, and he had to submit a booklet to see him or something.

Thinking about this, Cao Yong went back to Wutong Garden and wondered whether he should go out or not.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a few little brains protruding from the corridor.

"Father... Your lord father is back..." The one who ran out first was the taller Tianyou.

He ran in front of Cao Yong, raised his small face, his face was flushed, and wanted to reach out and grab his father's arm, but he was a little embarrassed.

Before Cao Yong, he was worried that the children would not recognize him as their father because they hadn't seen him for half a year because of their young age.Now, seeing that Tianyou still remembered himself, he leaned over and hugged Tianyou, and weighed it, but it was heavy again.

"Hehe..." Tianyou just laughed, Cao Yong put down his son, rubbed his little head vigorously, and said: "It's so cold, why did you come out without wearing a hat? You're so naughty."

Hang Seng took Tianhui's hand and rubbed it over step by step.

It is only at this time that it will be revealed whether he is one year younger than Tianyou.He bit his lip and looked at Cao Yong, but he didn't dare to admit it.

Seeing his tiger-headed and tiger-headed appearance, Cao Yong squatted down, pinched his face with a smile, and said: "Why, the general doesn't know his own father? It seems that when he rides a big horse again, he will only take your brother with him. That's it."

Hang Seng touched his face, showing that he glanced at his brother, then bit his lip and said, "Father, I know."

"Haha!" Looking at the children, Cao Yong only felt that his troubles had disappeared, and his heart was very comfortable.

He also looked at Tianhui, who was being held by Hang Seng, wearing a fur vest and buckskin boots, with black and soft hair, looking like a ceramic doll.

He held his daughter in his arms, greeted Tianyou and Hengsheng into the house.

Tianhui was a little timid, her body was slightly stiff, and she didn't dare to move.

Cao Yong felt distressed when he saw it, and put his daughter on the kang, saying: "Tianhui, will you call someone? Come, call daddy and listen."

When Tianhui heard the words, she pursed her lips and refused to speak out.

When Cao Yong saw it, he blamed himself quite a bit, as if he was a little impatient.This child learns the language, sometimes early, sometimes late, it is really difficult.

Seeing that his sister was silent, Tianyou lay down on the edge of the kang, looked at Tianhui and asked, "Sister, why don't you speak? Didn't I teach you to call someone earlier? You want to call father. It is father who has returned."

Tianyou was at the side, demonstrating in a low voice: "Father... Dear... Father..."

Tianhui pouted, but refused to make a sound.

Seeing that Tianyou and Hang Seng wanted to continue persuading her, Cao Yong waved his hands and said, "Don't force her, let her shout when she wants to."

While speaking, Chuyu had already received the news and came back from Lanyuan.

"Small farewell is better than a newlywed", the husband and wife look at me and I look at you, their faces soften.

If it wasn't for the consideration of being in front of the children, Chu Yu would have thrown herself into Cao Yong's arms.

Tianyou, however, was a little uninterested, stepped forward and pulled the corner of his mother's clothes, and asked, "Mother, did my grandmother give birth to a little uncle, or a little aunt? For a little uncle, he is Goshha of Hang Seng; for a little aunt, it happens to be the same My younger sister plays with my cousin."

This is child's talk, Chu Yu said with a smile: "It's the little uncle, you can see it in two days. Remember to be respectful, don't bully uncle because of his young age."

Tianyou scratched the back of his head, giggled, and didn't answer.

Cao Yong thinks that when the little brother grows up, he is afraid that he will run behind Tianyou and Hang Seng, and he also thinks it is fun.However, thinking of his mother giving birth at an advanced age, he restrained his smile and asked Chuyu, "I saw my mother, how does she look? Is she in good health? This birth is a matter of life and death, and confinement is the key to recuperation , not to be taken lightly."

Chu Yu nodded, and said: "I see, there is no serious problem, but I am a little tired. Before I came back, I drank half a bowl of ginseng soup and fell asleep. I heard that the wife has been reciting Buddha when the forehead came back. For more than half a year, the wife has also been thinking about it." With the forehead."

Hearing this, Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's good that it's okay. After all, I'm getting old, and I need to take care of my body carefully. Are there enough ginseng and deer antler at home? If not, I'll call a legal person to go out and buy some high-quality ones." come, don't care about the amount of money."

Chu Yu looked dazed, and first asked Xi Cai to take the children to the warm pavilion in the east room to resettle them, then took a few paper folds from the Baibao Pavilion, and handed them to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong took it, and looked through it, and it was all the will from the Queen Mother's palace.

It’s nothing more than rewarding this and that. Among them, there are high-quality ginseng and Korean ginseng almost every month.

Cao Yong thought about Kangxi's "reward", and then looked at the overwhelming reward booklets in front of him, but he was not interested.

The queen mother, the queen mother, is really old and confused.Is it afraid that others will not maliciously speculate on the Cao family, so this happened again?
*
Inside Xihua Gate, Xianning Palace.

This is the confinement place of the second elder brother. It has been three years since Kangxi was abolished for the second time in 51 years.

In the past three years, the second elder brother seemed crazy at first, and then became addicted to sex.

When it comes to women, Kangxi never treats his sons badly, and these sons who were imprisoned are also the same.Every time there is a general election in the palace and a small election, people will be rewarded from the big elder brother, the second elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother.

Although he is surrounded, in this world, the second elder brother still has the final say.

He was born in the 13th year of Kangxi, and now he is middle-aged, and his body was damaged by his early years of debauchery, and now his face is even more emaciated.

The Fujin Guerjia family persuaded him several times, but the second elder brother didn't listen to the persuasion, but became more reckless.

There are prostitutes in the daytime, and several concubines are called to wait on them at the same time.

The second elder brother had been the crown prince for more than thirty years, and after being dismissed twice, his temper became more and more gloomy.He was full of depression and couldn't express it, so he changed his tricks in the intercourse and tossed these concubines.

They must be called "sluts", and those who do not obey will be beaten and scolded.Although there are not many people killed with sticks, they have been thinking about all kinds of ways to torment people.

Among them, two concubines Teng couldn't help being humiliated and hanged themselves.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent someone to take the corpse away, and no one dared to bear the name of making trouble and investigate the second elder brother's affairs in the room.

The rest of the people, with the lessons learned from the past, are all honest, and they all care about their decency and flatter them tactfully.

Except for a few Fujin, Chue Fujin, and Shu Fujin who were the first to follow the second elder brother, the others are all of mediocre background, otherwise they would not have been sent to this forbidden palace.

In Xianyang Palace, wherever the second elder brother went, he could hear lewd voices from time to time.

Guarjia really had no choice but to stay in his own small room and not come out, out of sight and out of mind.

She is a bit rich, and has experienced ups and downs with her second elder brother these years, and has suffered from insomnia.Although it has been adjusted in many ways, it is not enough to replenish, just looking puffy and lacking in vitality.

It was only the end of October, and she changed into Da Mao's clothes, sat on the kang, and read the "Diamond Sutra" in her hand.

Hearing disturbed footsteps in the yard, the Guerjia family didn't know what had happened, and with a "thump", "thump" in his heart, he raised his head and went in to the door.

Walking in quickly at the door was Sangege, a descendant of the Guerjia family.

Because the second elder brother's eldest daughter and second daughter died young, Sangege is actually the eldest daughter of the second elder brother.

Sangege is nineteen this year, and should have discussed marriage a long time ago, but because of her father's burden, she delayed it all her life.

Her face was full of horror, her eyes were full of tears, and a big hole was torn in her right cuff.The moment he saw Guerjia, San Gege threw himself on his mother and cried, "Er Niang, Er Niang, hurry up and save Qing Rong, Amata...Amata..."

Qing Rong is San Gege's personal maid, and she has a deep relationship with San Gege.

Guerjia frowned and reprimanded: "Didn't I tell you not to leave your house if you have nothing to do? Why are you going to the front yard?"

San Gege shook his head vigorously, with panic in his eyes, he choked up and said: "I didn't come out, it was Amma who was drunk and went to the yard over there... I broke free, but Qing Rong was caught by Ama... "The next thing is, I can't go on.

Guerjia looked at the torn sleeve of her daughter's wrist, but her eyes were black, her throat was salty, and she fell down on the kang with a "plop"...
