Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 583
Zijing invited Cao Yong to come over because the 23rd of this month is Chuyu's 20th birthday.

The 25th of this month is the full moon of longevity. Now Chuyu is busy with this, but her own birthday is not announced.

There are in-laws on it, and as a daughter-in-law, she can't be cheeky to celebrate her birthday.

However, Zijing remembered that this was not just her birthday, it was also her 20th birthday, even if she didn't want to make a fuss about it, she still had to prepare for it.

It's just that as a servant, she can't make up her own mind, so she asked Cao Yong to discuss how to return to the master and wife on this birthday, and how to make arrangements.

Cao Yong is a man, after all, he has some intentions. Hearing this, he couldn't help being ashamed. He was busy familiarizing himself with the information of the Ministry of Internal Affairs these days, but he neglected this.

If Zijing didn't mention it, I'm afraid he really couldn't remember it.

If you want to treat guests, you should also entertain guests and friends.

Because it happened to be only one day away from the full moon of longevity, Cao Yong pondered for a while and proposed that a three-day banquet could be held, which would be connected with the full moon wine of longevity.

It's just that there are elders in the family. After discussing these matters with Zijing, Cao Yong couldn't be self-disciplined, so he asked Zijing to go to Lanyuan and ask Mrs. Li to show her.

Zijing was startled when she heard the words, and then nodded with a light smile.

It is not a few days away from the 23rd, Cao Yong can't help thinking about what to give Chuyu.

It has been almost five years since Chu Yu entered the school.

Thinking of the little girl who was not yet tall enough, the voice of "Don't you like Chuyu?" is still in my ears, and Cao Yong's heart is warm.

These two couples have had new fun recently.

It can't be said that honey is mixed with oil, but it is also dark and early to turn off the lights, and we will spend time together in London and London.

Zijing hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Master, if you want to entertain guests, this lady Dong..."

Hearing this, Cao Yong thought of the person in the guest room in the mansion, couldn't help but had a headache, stroked his forehead and said, "What does the wife say?"

Zijing replied: "Madam is in confinement, and she doesn't want to see outsiders. I just met once a few days ago when I arrived, and I have sent people to send things over, and I have ordered you not to neglect it." Speaking of this, she hesitated. After a while, he said: "It's just that Ms. Dong has been in the mansion for many days. How to do things, do you have an idea in your mind?"

Cao Yong waved his hand and said: "What else can I have? Since I came to take care of my wife at the order of the Queen Mother, it will naturally depend on my wife's arrangement. After a few days, my wife will be out of confinement, so let the one stay in Lanyuan to accompany her." That's it."

Having said that, he also has no idea.

Originally, he wanted to ask Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang for an idea, but those two seemed to have made an appointment and kept silent.

Cao Yong himself, every time he thinks of it, he can't help but feel a headache.

Now, thinking of Cao Yin, Cao Yong can't help but have some epiphanies.

I am not the head of the family, I have my parents.Besides, the things in the inner house were not something that a man like him needed to worry about.

Whether this female official of the Dong family was ordered by the holy order or the Queen Mother's order, why should he bother to arrange it?
As long as you intervene, it's really unclear inside and out.

Want to understand this point, Cao Yong heart melancholy all dissipated.

Because the three children living in Dongnuan Pavilion of Wutong Garden are crowded, Tianyou and Hengsheng are now placed in the upper room of Sunflower Court.

Just now, the two little guys were not there, and the maid carried them to Tian's yard to find Zuocheng brothers to play.It was getting dark now, and the two brothers came back.

Seeing that Cao Yong was there, the two brothers greeted their father in a dignified manner.

Cao Yong chatted a few words with his sons, wondering whether he should invite a teacher in the next year.These boys will be four or five years old next year.

Tianyou's little face became a little more serious, he hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Father, will you become a wooden sign in the future?"

Cao Yong listened, but did not understand what it meant for a while.

Tianyou bit his lip, stretched out his arm, and gestured with his small hand.

This square is not square, round is not round, what is it?
Cao Yong was still thinking in his heart that Hang Seng had stepped forward, hugged Cao Yong's thigh, and hugged Cao Yong's thigh vigorously without letting go. His small face was stuck to Cao Yong's leg, and the corners of his mouth were cracked, looking like he was about to cry or not.

This child, Cao Yong seldom sees Hang Seng acting like a baby on his own initiative, so he is very surprised.

Seeing this, Tianyou also moved to Cao Yong's side like a younger brother, but instead of hugging his thigh, he stretched out his hand to grab Cao Yong's sleeve.

"It will also become a wooden signboard." Cao Yong was still thinking about the word "yes" in his heart, and then he heard Tianyou say: "My lord, Zuo Cheng and Zuozhu's father will become a wooden signboard."

It turned out to be this, Ning Chun's spiritual tablet enshrined in the upper house of Tian's courtyard.

Cao Yong stretched out his hand and touched the heads of Tianyou and the others, and said: "Don't worry, everyone's father is different. I can't become a wooden sign."

Tianyou and Hang Seng looked at Cao Yong with their little faces upturned, with some confusion.

Cao Yong looked at his sons and remembered that when he was a child, three or four years old didn't seem to worry about "life and death". He really didn't know how to explain the topic of life and death to the children.

"Even if it becomes a wooden sign, it is also the father of Zuo Cheng and Zuo Zhuang. In the past, you should not be too naughty to make people angry." Cao Yong recalled Tian, ​​bowed his head and ordered.

Seeing their father lecturing, the two children got up to answer.

When it came to the matter of life and death, Cao Yong didn't worry about himself, but he worried about Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang.

Seeing the mother-in-law took the two children to resettle, Cao Yong came out of the sunflower courtyard.

But the north wind was blowing up, and the sky was blowing snowflakes melodiously.

Inside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's Mansion, Study Room.

The fourth elder brother sat behind the desk, holding a pen in his hand, and calculated the income of the household department this year.

However, the more he counted, the more he sighed. Last year, many places were hit by floods and droughts. This year, in addition to tax relief, money and food need to be allocated to help the people.

He heard the little eunuch outside the door say: "Report to the lord, Fujin said that the weather has changed, and he is afraid that it will be cold here, so he sent someone to deliver a charcoal basin to the lord."

The fourth elder brother put down the pen, rubbed his forehead, walked to the door and said, "No need to click."

How to make money, how to make money?
Thinking of Cao Yong, who is now working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fourth elder brother's complexion is a bit gloomy.

As a noble daughter of the royal family, Chu Yu has been married to the Cao family for many years, filial to her parents-in-law, and caring for her children.

Cao Yin and Li Shi had nothing to say to this daughter-in-law, so they naturally supported holding a birthday party for a few more days, next to the full moon of longevity.

In a few days, it was the 23rd of Dongyue.

Cao Yong got up, with a bit of laziness, and looked at his wife who had already gone to the ground.

Chu Yu saw it, hesitated for a while, and said: "My son-in-law, my wife is not yet confinement, so I don't care if I don't do it on this birthday, so I won't be so busy and tired."

Cao Yong didn't say a word, got up and took out a brocade box from the bag on the tip of the kang, and sent it to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was a little puzzled, took the brocade box and opened it.

But it was dazzling and ruthless, inside was a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with precious stones.

"Happy birthday!" Cao Yong walked into his wife and said with a smile.

Chu Yu was a little embarrassed, Cao Yong had already taken the bracelet out of the brocade box, and put it on for Chu Yu himself.

In this bracelet, the gemstones on it are inlaid according to the pattern of the safety buckle.

.

According to Cao Yong's original intention, he wanted to make a Qibao bracelet.But thinking about the seriousness with Cao Yi, Cao Yong personally designed the safe buckle.

The husband and wife looked at each other with tenderness on their faces...

Chu Yu is the princess, and Cao Yong is a dignitary, so there are quite a few people who give gifts to Cao's family.

Some people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in order to please Xiao Cao, this gift list is also extraordinarily generous.

In the capital, it's all about favors.

Cao Yong is not a high-minded person, and naturally he can't put on a high-minded attitude, so these gifts are all accepted with a smile.

Some guests were accompanied by Cao Yong and Cao Xiang brothers; some guests were accompanied by Mr. Zhuang with Jiang Jian and Li Wei.

That's right, it was Li Wei.

Li Wei, the future Governor of Minzhe and Governor of Zhili, followed Cao's mansion in the name of "Xuemu" when he knew that the Cao family had invited Jiang Jian as his master.

Naturally, Cao Yong raised his hand to welcome him. For this celebrity in the Yongzheng Dynasty, he was very happy to have more origins, which made the Cao family have many amulets.

Mr. Zhuang didn't understand why Cao Yong treated Li Wei so courteously. He had a straightforward temper and a strong appearance. He looked more like a warrior guarding the courtyard.On Mr. Zhuang's side, Jiang's mind was on Jiang Jian.

After all, the capital city is a capital city, not a place, and some mistakes can't be wrong.

When Jiang Jianchu was told, his face flushed; after hearing a few words, he knew Mr. Zhuang's painstaking efforts.

He copied everything into a notebook, and his expression gradually became serious.

Li Wei stayed at Cao's house because he came here with the honor of "studying" with Jiang Jian, and listened with great interest to how Mr. Zhuang taught Jiang Jian.

But he listened to the world as it was, and didn't care about the means, only cared about the weather.

Relatively speaking, Cao Yong is more relaxed here.

He thought about going to Mr. Zhuang and letting Mr. Zhuang rest so as not to be tired.

Before they passed, Cao Fang stepped forward and said, "Master, the sixteenth and seventeenth masters are here."

When Cao Yong heard the words, Cao Yong heard the words, so he must welcome them.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, still smiling, rode on horseback, looked at the various carriages parked outside the door, and said something from time to time.

"Fu Ruo, Sheng Jia is returning to the palace and wants to summon you." Elder Sixteen said straight to the point.

"Today?" Cao Yong counted the days in his mind, and it was almost half a month since he gave Kangxi the money-making booklet. It seems that Kangxi already has it in his hand.

"Well, today. If you are free right now, go to the palace as soon as possible, and when you come out, it will stop." Elder Sixteen said.

Cao Yong introduced the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother into the living room, and went into the palace by himself.

Cao Yong guessed well, Kangxi has made a decision here.

In front of the Northwest Army, it was written again.

If the money and food reserves are delayed, what will be used to pay them next spring.

Besides, he knows his own size well. Cao Yong has some financial management skills, but he is not the God of Wealth after all.

In Qianqing Palace, East Nuan Pavilion.

Cao Yong bowed and stood, listening to Kangxi talking about allowing him the last book, but his heart is quite complicated.

Finally, I no longer hide behind the crowd, but have to take up a stall.

Government procurement, um, no, procurement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are too many interests involved in it, if the operation is not good, maybe I will become the enemy of all the recipients of immediate benefits related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After all, it is a new thing, Cao Yong just know some superficial, this specific operation, but it is cumbersome and tight.

Maybe these years, the idle days have passed too long, thinking about the new errand that is about to face, Cao Yong's heart is faintly excited...

In the dormitory, I used a small netbook, and I was not used to the keyboard and the mouse. I was crying, and the speed of hundreds of words per hour.Sorry, everyone, Xiaojiu is an idiot. She used to be taken care of by her mother. She hasn’t lived alone for a long time. You have to buy water, prepare hand sanitizer, and shampoo by yourself. You have to wash clothes by yourself. A total of 10 days of training , I have classes all day, and I don’t have time to code words before dinner, so it’s so late.Well, with the lid on the pot, I begged for a monthly pass in a low voice (I made class notes, literature lovers or friends who like to write, I will sort it out after I go back to Jiu, and you can send text messages on the site, or leave a message to ask Jiu).
