Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 64 errands
In the first ten days of July of the 48th year of Kangxi, Kangxi Shengjia always stayed in Rehe.

Cao Yong finally shied away, but still accepted the title deed sent by Brother Sixteen.It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow.Although the Cao family has not yet reached a difficult time, it is a blessing to have such relatives.You must know that Cao's family has had little contact with the palace these years in order to avoid suspicion, but the secret concubine was able to care for Cao Yong so much, this kind of heart is really rare.

Life outside the Great Wall is day after day, except for the initial novelty, the rest is boring.On weekdays, Cao Yong, Brother Sixteen and Suhe Baru ran horses and shot arrows.Occasionally, she is pulled by Bao Ya to play two games of Go with her.Perhaps because he is often outdoors, Cao Yong's body is much stronger than before, and he seems to have grown taller.Originally he was only one punch taller than Elder Sixteen, but now he is more than half a head taller.

Because of following Elder Brother Sixteen, Cao Yong became acquainted with several princes who followed him.In fact, there are not many princes in Rehe right now. The third elder brother and the seventh elder brother returned to Beijing after Shengjia arrived outside the Great Wall. Only the prince, eighth elder brother, thirteenth elder brother, fifteenth elder brother and ten Six elder brothers.

The eighth elder brother is always recovering from illness, rarely shows up in front of people, and acts extremely low-key.The thirteenth elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother have their own origins with Cao Yong. Although they are not as friendly as the sixteenth elder brother, they are still kind and pleasant.

For the prince, Cao Yong just started to avoid it. Before the prince was abolished, the prince used the Cao family as a bank, and every year he came up with various excuses to send minions to the Cao family to ask for money.If two-thirds of the Cao family's deficit is owed to welcome Sheng Jia, the other one-third is due to the prince.After the turmoil of abolishing the establishment, although the prince is still holding the position, his party members have been dealt with by Emperor Kangxi, and he dare not stretch his hand so far.

In Cao Yong's view, among the princes in Rehe, the prince resembles Kangxi the most, not only in appearance, but also in his behavior.The prince was born of Kangxi's wife, Empress Xiaochengren, Hesheli, who lost his mother at birth, and was immediately established as a prince, and was raised by Kangxi himself.Perhaps it was the power formed by the crown prince that affected the authority of the emperor; perhaps it was the literary and martial arts of other adult princes that aroused the prince's sense of crisis. The relationship between the two became increasingly tense, and finally caused a storm of waste.

Cao Yong knows the direction of history, and he is not afraid of this unlucky prince, even if he offends Hongxi Baylor.The prince treated Cao Yong in a very casual and calm manner. He was not particularly enthusiastic because of Kangxi and Shiliu's attention to him, nor did he show embarrassment to Cao Yong because of the capital affairs.

Sometimes, if there are no outsiders, the prince will gossip with Cao Yong, but it is Cao Yin who taught him archery or the kindness of Mrs. Feng Sheng and so on.Cao Yong noticed that when talking about these things, the prince often fell into deep thought, with an indescribable nostalgia on his face.Perhaps, while thinking of the Cao family, he also thought of the years when father and son blended together.

Cao Yong listened to these, thinking of the rough fate of the prince, and the imprisoned life in the second half of his life, he often sighed in his heart that the world is impermanent.The prince was born in the 33rd year of Kangxi, and he is only 35 years old now, but his temples are dotted with dots, making him look several years older than his actual age.

Among the sons of Kangxi, apart from the prince, the one who experienced the most ups and downs is the thirteenth elder brother.

Brother Thirteen suffered from rheumatism several times outside the Great Wall, and every time he was tortured, he suffered terribly.Because snake oil has an analgesic effect on rheumatism, Cao Yong wrote to Jiang Ning's father again, asking his father to send someone to collect it in Fujian.However, the distance between the north and the south is long, and this kind of folk elixir cannot be found anywhere, and there is still no reply.

In a blink of an eye, on July 22, Cao Yong, who had been free for more than half a month, got an errand, which was to accompany the other guards to escort the thirteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother to the Mongolian Ongniu Te Department to hang sacrifices.The thirteenth daughter of Kangxi, married Princess Heshuo Wenke of Weng Niu Tebu.

Princess Heshuo Wenke, biological mother Zhang Jiashi, the same mother as the thirteenth elder brother and the fifteenth princess.Kangxi was born in the 26th year of Kangxi, and was named Princess Heshuo Wenke in the 45th year of Kangxi. In the same year, she married Borjigit Cangjin, king of Duling County of the Mongolian Wengniu Tebu.

Kangxi didn't want to let Thirteenth Brother take into account his health, but because of Thirteenth Brother's repeated requests, he finally agreed.

The death of Princess Heshuo Wenke was a great blow to Brother Thirteen.Two months ago, not long after Shengjia arrived in Rehe, another of his same mother and sister, the fifteenth princess, who married Princess Heshuodunke of Horqin Taijidorji, died of illness.

The thirteenth elder brother's biological mother died young, and the three brothers and sisters have a deep brotherhood.In just two months, he lost two relatives, and it was even worse for him who was suffering from illness.

*
In addition to the guards of the forty guard battalion, there were also [-] officers and soldiers of the guard camp who escorted the thirteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother to Ongniut.

The thirteenth elder brother ordered a hurried march, and hurried to Weng Niut, and finally arrived before Princess Heshuo Wenke's burial.

After the princess's funeral, everyone stayed in Wengniute's department for two days. Cao Yong and his elder brothers were about to set off southward and return to Rehe, but they received a letter saying that the holy driver had already moved northward on the second day of August, and Kangxi ordered him to Brothers, go to the Daban Palace in Bahrain Right Banner to pick you up.

Bahrain Right Banner is very close to the Wengniute Department, and the group arrived in light clothes that night.

*
Two generations of princesses from the Qing court married into Bahrain, namely, Princess Gulun Shuhui, the eldest daughter of Huang Taiji, and Princess Heshuo Rongxian, the third daughter of Kangxi. They brought a large number of immigrants here - dowry servants and various craftsmen .These people lived together in one place, forming a large settlement.The center of the settlement is the prince's mansion, Yuanhui Temple and the palace built for Kangxi, surrounded by a large number of brick and tile buildings, like a small town, several times more prosperous than Wengniu Tebu, which is amazing.

Urgon, King of Duoluo County of Bahrain Right Wing Banner, is the son-in-law of Princess Heshuo Rongxian, that is, Tana's father.As early as the beginning of June, he led the crowd to Rehe to pay homage to Kangxi. He had seen everyone, and Cao Yong was no stranger to him.Urgon returned to the tribe with his daughter on the second day of the Shizi case.Tana's departure made Baoya recite for a few days in relief, which made Cao Yong's ears calloused.

The elder brothers were unwilling to live in the palace first, so they were invited by Prince U Ergon to settle in the palace.Cao Yong and the accompanying guards also lived in the palace.This is exactly what Cao Yong wanted, because he wanted to help Wenxiu redeem himself, so it was just right to come to Bahrain.Cao Yong quietly told the sixteenth elder brother about it and asked him to find a way.

The sixteenth elder brother asked someone to inquire about Tana's female slaves named "Boule". There were several of them, but there was no young woman who was seventeen or eighteen years old and thin.

Cao Yong couldn't figure out why, could it be that he remembered it wrong?The sixteenth brother advised Cao Yong to be calm and calm, anyway, he would stay in Bahrain for a while, and then slowly search for it.

During the days of waiting for the Holy Driver, Cao Yong was dragged by the sixteenth elder brother. He had nothing to hunt in the daytime, and had a singing and dancing banquet at night.

For some reason, this Tana Gege seemed to have become enemies with Cao Yong, and she believed herself to be her own base camp, so she became more and more unscrupulous, and always made some accidents, deliberately finding trouble and provoking.

How could Cao Yong care about movies with a little girl?Besides, even if you don't mention your daughter's status, what can you do now that you're on someone else's territory?So if he could hide, he would hide, if he couldn't hide, he would stay the same and respond to all changes, no matter how sarcastic she was, he just ignored her and let her make trouble on her own.

On this day, Cao Yong came back from hunting with the sixteenth elder brother, and asked his followers to take the prey to the kitchen to clean up. The two were leading the horse to their own yard, when they heard Tana screaming in a sharp voice: "What? Go again Hunting? When I came yesterday, you said that Cao Yong was hunting, but today you said he was hunting, and you said he was hunting for the first half of the day, and the second half was hunting? Could it be that he wants to hunt down all the living things in my Bahrain mountain? ? Or are you deliberately perfunctory?"

Hearing this little aunt's yelling, Cao Yong's head "buzzed" suddenly, and he hurriedly whispered to Brother Sixteen: "Master Sixteen, let's go ahead, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the pheasant is doing..."

The sixteenth elder brother grabbed Cao Yong and laughed in a low voice: "The kitchen is far away. If you can't keep it together, you will be caught by her after a while. Why don't you go to the stables? It's close and not eye-catching. Tana is the best." Spoiled, I can't see a bit of pickiness, I know you are in the stable and I won't look for it." Then, he handed over the reins in his hand to Cao Yong, and said with a smile: "Our horse has to be brushed well."

Seeing that he was laughing like a thief, Cao Yong knew that it was because he was holding his breath when he was hunting just now, so he tried to get him to brush the horse for him.

*
"Chaolu!" After entering the stable, Cao Yong called the groom who had become acquainted recently to come out to help him, but a maid came out from the stable and said as he walked, "Uncle Chaolu is not here..."

The two looked at each other, stunned.

Cao Yong smiled, it was really "fate", the maid was exactly Wenxiu who had been hard to find for several days.

It took Wenxiu a while to come back to her senses, and then she bowed to Cao Yong: "Slave maidservant, send your respects to your lord."

Cao Yong waved his hand and asked her to be excused, and then asked: "Why can't I find you in the palace, don't you use the name 'Boule'?"

When Wenxiu heard this, her expression darkened, and she lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Gege gave the servant a new name, instead of 'Boole'!"
