Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 591

Although the Queen Mother's Yizhi did not stipulate that Suxin could not go home and had to stay in Cao's house, but here she did not dare to be self-confident.

If Su Xin is not expelled from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a day, she will be a palace maid, and everything she says and does is respectable in the palace.

However, it's time to catch up with the New Year's Eve, and it's unbearable to let the girl be here alone.

Mrs. Li then discussed with Chuyu, asking Suxin 27 to go home this morning and come back in the evening.

Suxin stayed in Cao's mansion for ten months, except in Li's house, she stayed behind closed doors in her own room at other times.

Chu Yu had been on the sidelines before, afraid that she might have other thoughts.

Seeing her like this is a relief.

Suxin has a quiet temperament, since Li Shitong Chuyu's kindness, she also thanked her for accepting it.

Picking two stable women to follow, and a maid from Suxin's house to accompany the car, plus some gifts from here, Suxin went home.

When Cao Yong came out, he happened to see Su Xin getting into the carriage, but he was a little dazed.

It's hard to say who's rights will be damaged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs' bidding in February next year, but Dong and Shang's family will be hit the hardest on the surface.

The parents of these two families are all slippery old foxes, and every time they see Cao Yong, it is called an affectionate relationship.He is only as close as his own nephew, but respectful when getting along.

Even though Cao Yong was a man in two lifetimes, he was a little bit uncertain, and he didn't know what the two of them were thinking.

However, he didn't want to be a "lone minister".

He still knows the principle of a hero with three gangs.

It is impossible for him alone to activate the entire system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Know it with affection and lure it with profit.

What Cao Yong can do is nothing more than occupying the identities of each other's worldly contacts and being close to Dong Shang's family.

For merchants who have relatives in the same two families, Cao Yong also revealed a few useful words intentionally or unintentionally.

After that, the smiles on the faces of the two old foxes became even better.

In socializing and socializing, he and Cao Yin seem to be much closer than before.

On Cao Yin's side, he knew what he knew, so he was naturally happy to be this bond and become his son's help.

In this way, Su Xin's identity became more and more embarrassing.

She can't really obey the orders of the gods and be a servant; nor can she be regarded as an adopted daughter in a serious way, so she can only spend her life in this way.

When Cao Yong and Chu Yu talked about this in private, they were also quite worried.

If the palace forgets the girl Su Xin, then she will stay in Cao's house until she reaches her age.

But there is no charter, and it is not good to go to the imperial court to say it for her, otherwise it will appear to be ignorant.

Cao Yong sighed and watched as Xiaoman brought someone to fill the car with wine.

When he saw that there were two jars of "Ten Lixiang", which were made by Mr. Zhuang himself in his early years, Cao Yong was heartbroken and his eyes were already crazy.

"It smells so good..." Xiaoman hugged the half-person-high wine jar, and sniffed it vigorously.

Wei Hei and Zheng Hu were at the side, seeing Cao Yong's strangeness, followed his line of sight, and looked at "Ten Lixiang".

This ten-mile incense is the wine recipe that Mr. Zhuang bought in exchange for it in his early years.

Use a large Huadiao wine jar, put [-] catties of white dry in it, then put [-] catties each of longan, bergamot, papaya, old grass, and mung beans, and [-] catties of rock sugar to soak in wine, seal it with mud paint and put it in the warehouse for storage.

In the past few years in Beijing, Mr. Zhuang has made every year.

Judging from the seals on the two jars of wine, it was made in Kangxi's 50th year and has been cellared for five years.

Wei Hei frowned slightly, walked forward, took the wine jar from Xiaoman's arms, put it on the ground again, and complained in a low voice: "Why did you think of bringing these two jars here?"

Xiaoman was a little stunned, and muttered: "Isn't the gift from the Thirteenth Lord's house every year?"

Speaking, he also remembered the difference between this year and previous years, closed his mouth and looked carefully at Cao Yong.

Cao Yong approached and touched the wine jar, but his face was indistinguishable from joy and sorrow.

Even though Mr. Zhuang had passed away for a month, Cao Yong still had the illusion, as if he hadn't left.

"Huh!" Cao Yong sighed for a long time, waved his hands to Xiaoman, and said, "Take this back to the wine cellar, and take the champagne that Wei Xin sent a few days ago..." Speaking of this, I thought about Thirteen Brother now has his own foreign goods store, and there is no shortage of champagne and wine, so he paused and said, "Take the dried peach wine from Xiaotangshan for two jars."

Xiao Man responded, Cao Yong stroked the wine jar, and the seal on it was written by Mr. Zhuang himself.

"This, move it down and keep it." Cao Yong said to Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu brought the two jars of wine back to the wine cellar with a few people.

Looking at Cao Yong's face, Wei Hei felt a little worried. He took a step forward and said, "Young master, after running for a few days, he got up and went to the palace before dawn, and he was tired. The thirteenth master is not an outsider, how about Go by car?"

Cao Yong smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "Thirteen Masters don't know how to argue, but I can't take it too seriously. Otherwise, I don't know when it is, it is a great sin. The left and right are close, not far away There is no way to get tired. Big brother Wei also got up early, and it’s Chinese New Year now, so don’t let my sister-in-law shop for new year’s goods alone.”

Wei Hei smiled heartily, and said: "What's the year? It's just a meal. On the contrary, my son, if you feel boring during the New Year and have a reunion banquet, come to Lao Hei's for a drink, and we can chat .”

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Yes, I see."

While speaking, Zheng Hu and Xiao Man had already returned and reloaded the wine jar into the car.

Zhao Tong led the horse over, Cao Yong got on the horse and led the people to Jinyu Alley.

There are people coming and going on the street, most of them are buying new year's goods. There are many scattered red confetti on both sides of the road, which are the scattered wreckage of firecrackers.

Many shops are hung with red lanterns.

Cao Yong was riding on the horse, but he was thinking about the bidding war in February next year.

Although the hole card is in his hand, and Kangxi is pulled on it as a shield, but where is the advantage, how many people can calm down?

But I don't know how those people will act. First, the businessman came to the door to test Cao Yong's tone and bottom line.

Afterwards, it should be the rich and powerful who handed over the note, right?
Throughout the ages, this relationship has been a cliché, nothing new.

After half an hour, we arrived at Jinyu Alley.

Before arriving at Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, I saw a sedan chair stopped at the door, and someone was getting off the sedan chair.

Cao Yong's heart sank, and he hurriedly urged the horse to step forward, turned over and got off the horse, and approached to salute.

The person who got off the sedan chair was the fourth elder brother in ordinary clothes.

Holding a string of sandalwood beads in his hand, he looked at Cao Yong, then glanced at the carriage behind him, and asked, "Why, is it only given as an annual gift?"

"Yes! I wanted to come here to pay my respects to the Thirteenth Lord, so I didn't ask someone to bring it first." Cao Yong responded, thinking in his heart that he would give the New Year's gift to the fourth elder brother on the day of Xiaonian, and he also gave it himself.

Master, you shouldn't be able to pick out any faux pas in yourself, right?

The fourth elder brother nodded, and said with a straight face: "Go in, you passed by the palace a few days ago, but I'm not there, and I want to ask you a few words."

Cao Yong said in his mouth, and entered the gate of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion together with the Fourth Prince.

Cao Yong is a little afraid to look at the face of the fourth elder brother, not because he is afraid of his cold face, but also because he doesn't want him to be on guard.

On the day of the New Year's gift in Xiaonian, Cao Yong made people stare at Prince Yong's mansion, knowing that the fourth elder brother would go out, so he took people there.

As a result, he only said a few words at the gate of the palace, and Cao Yong handed over the gift list and returned.

It's not that he doesn't want to hug Si Age's thick legs, but Cao Yong's current identity is more sensitive than before.

Kangxi's suspicion was stronger than before, and Cao Yong didn't want to bear any suspicion.Otherwise, Kangxi would not be able to spare him without waiting for Yongzheng to come to power.

The fourth elder brother is not a fool, and he understands this in his heart.

Knowing that Cao Yong is a sensible person, he acts with propriety.

But watching Cao Yong go in and out of the thirteenth prince's mansion without avoiding suspicion, the fourth elder brother still has some taste in his heart.

Speaking of which, for Cao Yong, he, like the thirteenth elder brother, has the grace of saving lives.

However, because of his high title, Cao Yong respectful is respectful, but he always keeps a distance; Brother Thirteen has much closer contacts.

Even if he knew that Cao Yong's approach was right, the fourth elder brother still felt a little bit offended.

The thirteenth elder brother came out head-on, saw the two walking together, and said with a smile: "It's better to come by coincidence than to come here. The weather is fine today, and it's a good day for drinking. The fourth brother and Cao Yong will go back after eating. "

The fourth elder brother's expression was already relieved, he took a closer look at the thirteenth elder brother, and said: "How is your health recently? Is your leg still hurting? Or find an imperial doctor and give you two prescriptions."

Brother Thirteen heard the word "Fang Zi", but he couldn't help but trembled, waved his hands and said, "Okay, my brother is done. The medicine soup that I drink three times a day, my brother will vomit." No. Fourth brother, don't mention the prescription again, or my stomach will start to sour again."

On the face of the fourth elder brother, there is an undisguised love.

Cao Yong stood aside, looking at Si Age's pampering expression, he was really not used to it.

But in my heart I also envy the thirteenth elder brother, this brother didn't do it for nothing, when Yongzheng came to power, besides a grandson, the thirteenth elder brother also pointed out a county king among his sons.

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Brother Thirteen is the first prince who has no military merits and has to be sealed with an iron hat.

There is an iron hat on this side, plus the iron hat on the sixteenth elder brother's side, Cao Yong glanced at the back of the fourth elder brother, and had to find a way to show his favor to him after drinking later.

Finally, I can see here that even if it is passed to the imperial court, Cao Yong is also magnanimous.

Even if I don't expect to be an iron hat, it's still a good chance to find a chance to be a prince and protect the family's well-being.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong could not help but wake up.

My utilitarianism seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

Even if he respects the thirteenth elder brother in his heart, it is mostly because he is the fourth elder brother's best friend.

Comparing your heart to your heart, how much smarter are you than anyone else?

If there is no sincerity, the other party will not be a fool, how can they not feel it?

Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

Kangxi sat on the kang, touched his right hand with his left hand, and said to Cao Yin who was sitting on the small stool opposite: "I used a lot of medicine, but it didn't help. The bracelet you sent has some effect, it's not like the morning It's numb. You have bothered, how can I reward you?"

Hearing this, Cao Yin got busy, bowed his body and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the slaves dare not take credit for it. This is a folk prescription that the dog got in exchange for after learning about the Eucharist."

"Little Cao Yong..." Kangxi pondered, and nodded: "Human, this is his strength, but also his weakness, he still needs to practice..."

For three days at the end of the month, I urgently ask for a monthly pass, urgently, urgently, urgently.
