Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 655
Upstairs, when Fuman looked at his daughter who was dressed in women's clothes and raised in a fair and clean manner, Mr. Fang Zhong didn't know whether to relax or be more vigilant.

When interacting with people, attacking the heart is the top priority.

Although he was not wearing an official uniform, but looking at the appearance of the guards and followers, the young man who rode here with Qiniang should be the "Director Cao" who even the prince and elder brother are helpless.

Holding the teacup, he was in doubt, only to hear a "pop", and the teacup was broken.

The little guy was clearing the table, and he jumped when he saw Mr. Fang crushing the teacup, and looked at the old man with fear.

He was thinking about how to get away, so he took out a few more big coins from Fang Zhonggong's pocket, put them on the table, and said, "Brother, this is teacup money."

The previous meals cost two renminbi, and the bill has already been settled.

The guy took the copper coin, squeezed out a bit of a smile and said: "Guest officer, wait a moment, I'll bring you another cup."

While speaking, Cao Yong and Fang Qiniang had dismounted and entered the house, and went up to the second floor.

Apart from the two of them, only Cao Jia and Wei Hei followed.

"Father..." Seeing the figure of Mr. Fang Zhong, Qiniang couldn't help it, and ran forward, looking like she was about to cry, but also about to laugh.

She was very happy at first, but thinking about the separation of father and daughter for half a year, she was full of grievances and couldn't help her nose sore.

"Qiniang..." Mr. Fang Zhong stood up, glanced at his daughter, then at Cao Yong: "May I ask if this is Director Cao?"

Cao Yong nodded and said with a smile: "In February, the house changed, and Ling Ai happened to be with my relatives, so I went to live in the next house temporarily. Today, the old man Fang came, and the father and daughter were reunited. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. .”

Although he didn't know what the so-called "accident" was, but Jian Qiniang didn't intend to refute it, thinking that what he said was about the same.

Only at this time did Mr. Fang Zhong lose his suspicion, and bowed solemnly to Cao Yong: "My little old man thanked Mr. Cao for his kindness in keeping the dog girl..."

Seeing the serious appearance of the old man, how can Cao Yong accept the gift so boldly.He hastily backed away, and said in a vain way: "It's just a matter of raising your hands, old man Fang doesn't need to be too polite."

Fang Qiniang saw her father just now, she couldn't help being emotional, she woke up now, pouted her lips, and said to her father: "Father, don't thank him, if he hadn't asked someone to keep my daughter, she would have gone back to the south to look for her." Dad is gone."

After hearing this, Fang Zhonggong looked at Cao Yong with puzzlement.

Cao Yong said calmly: "Before Ling Ai wanted to go back to the south alone to find her father, Cao also wanted to have someone send her back to the south, but he was afraid of getting separated from the old man, so he advised her to stay in the north and wait for the old man to come to Beijing. In order to find a daughter for the old man Fang, Cao has already sent someone to tell Fang Baikui that Qiniang is with me. Didn’t the old man get the news from Fang Baikui this time?"

Cao Yong didn't know, although he asked someone to tell Fang Baikui's housekeeper.But the housekeeper got involved in the Fang family's private house and ran away, and Fang Baikui didn't mention it at all.

Cao Yong said it frankly, plus his daughter is well-raised, Fang Zhonggong is not a person who repays kindness and revenge, and is unreasonable, so I can only thank him again.

Cao Yong is not a kind person, he is not so kind, and he will take care of children for several months in vain.Ever since he inquired about Fang Zhonggong's name, he made up his mind to invite him to his side.

He is a martial arts master who values ​​faith and righteousness, but also has superb medical skills. If such a person is kept by his side, that is double protection.

These days, watching Fang Qiniang show her hands occasionally, Cao Yong became more and more interested in her father.

Mr. Fang Zhong naturally didn't know Cao Yong's Xiao Jiujiu, seeing him looking warm, he felt that he didn't have the airs of being an official, and he seemed to be of good character.

But looking at the two middle-aged men standing behind him, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong.One was blind, with five big and three rough; the other had a gloomy expression, and looked at himself quite unkindly.

When everyone was seated, Cao Yong introduced Wei Hei and Cao Jia to Fang Zhonggong.

After seeing each other, Wei Hei said with a smile: "Senior Fang has been famous for many years, and this junior also heard about it in his early years. More than ten years ago, this junior went to Taihu Lake with his family teacher, so I was lucky enough to meet senior."

Fang Zhonggong heard the words and asked: "Forgive me for my clumsy eyes, who is Lord Wei's master?"

Wei Hei didn't reply directly, but said with a smile: "Senior used to save people by the side of Taihu Lake, and then he was invited to have a banquet in Zhuangzi. The teacher was an accompanying guest at that time, and the younger brother and the younger brother went together. The senior saw the younger brother's brother Saber, and said it was a pity. Looking at his body and bones, if he practices boxing and kicking kung fu, he will definitely have a small success."

After hearing this, Mr. Fang Zhong remembered.

Wei Hei's master was also quite famous in the southern green forest in his early years.After meeting in Taihu Lake that time, due to his speculative temper, he originally agreed to sail Taihu Lake the next day and have a refreshing drink.

However, for some unknown reason, Wei Hei's master did not attend the appointment, but left a message, saying that he was going to Jiangning on urgent matters.

Later, it was heard that the child was kidnapped by an acquaintance. Wei Hei's master got the news and took his disciples around to look for it.

Fang Zhonggong was bored staying in the south of the Yangtze River, so he turned back to Fujian, got married and had a daughter.There was no news about Wei Hei's master after the incident. Some said that he had defected to the government, and some said that he was murdered by his enemies.

Because Wei Heihua mentioned "the former teacher", Fang Zhonggong sighed and said, "Has the respected teacher gone west by the crane?"

Wei Hei nodded, and said, "He died in Jiangning in 41, and was buried in the funeral tomb of Qingliang Temple in accordance with Master's will."

The childless people from the rivers and lakes died, and they loved to be buried near the temple, hoping to wash away their sins in life, so that they could be reincarnated and avoid the suffering of hell.As for the cemetery, it is because there is no monument in the cemetery, so as not to attract enemies and make myself suffer from digging graves and flogging corpses.

After hearing this, Mr. Fang Zhong could only sigh, and sighed inwardly as he looked at his daughter who didn't know what to worry about.I was over sixty years old, and I didn't take it seriously when I died sooner or later; it's just that my daughter is still young, how can I make people feel at ease?

Now he just wants to take his daughter back to the countryside and live a peaceful life.Finding a good young man to be his son-in-law in two years will be a big deal.

Just as Mr. Fang Zhong expressed his intention to leave, Fang Qiniang's face was a bit hesitant. She pulled Mr. Fang's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Father, my daughter can't go. My daughter is not a real man, and she knows that a word can mean nothing. It’s hard to chase.” At this point, she pointed to Cao Jia who hadn’t spoken, and said, “My daughter made a bet with Master, and if she doesn’t surpass Master in fist and kick, she won’t leave Cao’s house!”

"Master?" Fang Zhonggong looked at Cao Jia, chewing on his daughter's words.

"Father, Father, my daughter not only learned kung fu from the master masters, but also gained a lot of knowledge from Dr. Lin. The grandma of the princess has now come to the imperial doctor. I heard that they are all experts in acupuncture. My daughter really wants to Follow the experience." Fang Qiniang's eyes couldn't help but brighten when she talked about this, and said: "Father, wait for my daughter for a while, compared with my daughter, the fourth master is struggling a bit. It won't be long before my daughter will be able to come out. "

She spoke innocently and romantically, but she didn't want to think about who would really beat her.Even if she can beat Cao Ding, Cao Jia and Cao Ding are not on the same level.

If you want to achieve Cao Jia's kung fu, it doesn't take ten or eight years, so I'm afraid it won't work.

Without a fight, Fang Zhonggong couldn't see the depth of Cao Jia, but he didn't believe his daughter's claim that he would be able to defeat him "soon".

He was hesitating how to persuade his daughter to be obedient, Cao Yong had already taken out his watch from his bosom, looked at it, and the other party was fair: "Mr. Fang and Qiniang talk here first. Cao has something to do, so he has to go first." Said At this point, he said to Qiniang: "It's hard work for your father to come from a long distance. If you finish speaking, go back and rest earlier, and let someone prepare a guest room... If you are not used to it, you can live directly in the restaurant. Make people say hello..."

Fang Qiniang nodded as she listened, and asked curiously, "Isn't Madam waiting for Master Cao to go back for dinner? Master Cao, don't forget, let Madam be happy."

"I just went back for this. It's almost dinner time, so it's not good to keep my wife waiting for a long time." Cao Yong said.

Watching Cao Yong go down the stairs and lead everyone away on horseback, Fang Qiniang was fair to the other party: "Father, the Cao family are all good people, and they are good-looking. The wife of the Cao family is good, and the grandma of the princess is also good. Miss, The young masters are also painful." At this point, he raised his neck and said to the other party: "Father, let's leave after a while. Some bad guys are after the Cao family. The Cao family is not peaceful. It is time to leave , it's really not righteous enough..."

Cao Yong rode away, not because he wanted to catch him, but because he saw Qiniang's sincere intimacy, and he couldn't bear it.Like Mr. Fang Zhong, he is an undisciplined man with medical skills, so why drag him to Cao's house and wade through this muddy water.

Like Wei Hei, who chose to stay in Cao's family back then, he has never lived a peaceful life all these years.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong gave up his selfish years and didn't think about it any more, leaving Fang Zhonggong behind.

What does it mean to plant flowers intentionally but not to bloom, but to plant willows and willows unintentionally to make shade?

Even in the restaurant, when Cao Yong thought about it, Fang Zhonggong also thought about it.Speaking of which, his old arms and legs are nothing expensive, but he can still sell his life for two years.

Cao's family treats her daughter so gracefully, it's hard to guarantee that they don't have other thoughts.

He originally wanted to see what Cao Yong had to say, but he didn't expect Cao Yong to leave without mentioning anything else.

Mr. Fang Zhong stayed behind, and heard his daughter mention the change of the Cao family half a month ago, and he didn't say a word for a long time...

*
In the capital city, along the northern edge of Houhai, there is a scholar's mansion, which is the house of the pearl of power.Because of the early death of the eldest son Nalan Xingde, after the death of Mingzhu, Kui Xu, the second son of Mingzhu, became the owner of this house.

Kuixu has no children, and his two heirs, Nalan Yongshou and Nalan Yongfu, are both the legitimate sons of his younger brother Kuifang.

In the 46th year of Kangxi, Kui Fang and his wife died of illness, leaving behind two young sons.The eldest son, An Zhao, was only six years old, and the second son, Yuan Pu, was only three or four years old.

Mingzhu died of illness the following year, Kangxi sympathized with his courtiers, and because of the relationship between Mingzhu and Nalan Rongruo father and son, Kangxi personally intervened about Mingzhu's funeral.

Knowing that Kui Xu had no children and his wife Geng had been married for many years and had no children, Kangxi ordered the An Zhao brothers to be Kui Xu's heirs.

When An Zhao was young, he was weak and sick, so Kui Xu changed his name to "Yongshou", and Yuan Pu followed his elder brother's mistake and changed his name to "Yongfu".

Years passed in a blink of an eye, and Yongshou and Yongfu also grew up.

Under Kangxi's care, Yongshou's marriage was also personally intervened by Kangxi. He pointed out that the daughter of Zheng Huangqi Hanjun, the deputy commander of the Han army, who had left a sign last year, Ashi, the daughter of the grandpa, was given to Yongshou as his wife. A wedding was held years ago.

Years later, Yongshou not only inherited his father's position as Zuoling, but also entered the bodyguard office, and now he is a bodyguard from a foreign class.

Yongfu was not yet an adult, so Enmeng became a prison student and studied in the Guozijian.

When the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother came over, Kui Xu was sitting on the bed with a mop on his forehead, pulling his wife and chattering endlessly.Although Ding You has made small movements since he recovered from his recovery, he has never been afraid in his heart.

Among them, it is not without the meaning of relying on the sacred family of the father and brother.

Speaking of which, he also wrote a book at the age of seven, and he is quite talented, but under the halo of his father and brother's talents, he is so insignificant.

In addition to being close to the eighth elder brother because his wife and the eighth elder brother Fujin are two aunts and sisters, he also wants to get ahead and revive the family in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he got deeper and deeper, and walked his father's old way.

For more than a month of "recovering from illness", Kui Xu continued to write apology scriptures, but nothing happened.

He felt that he was really sick, thinking that his elder brother and younger brother died in their thirties, and he feared that he would not survive to forty.

In addition to worrying about Changshou's body, he is also worried about Changfu's marriage.Therefore, he dragged his wife, Geng Shi, for nothing.

Geng is the daughter of Princess Heshuo Roujia, who has been in and out of the court since she was a child, and has a good relationship with the Queen Mother and the head of the harem.

Seeing how terrified her husband was, she could only comfort her with soft words.I already regretted it in my heart, and should have walked around the palace before Shengjia left Beijing to see if I could find a favor.

Hearing that the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother had arrived, Kui Xu was quite surprised, but he still changed his clothes and prepared to meet the guests at the front.Seeing that he was going to wipe his forehead, Geng stopped him: "Master, you should wear it. In case the emperor asks the elder brothers to ask for medical advice, it will not be beautiful to see the master as usual."

Kui Xu thought so too, without washing his face, wearing a piece of clothing, leaning on crutches, asked two people to help him, and went to the front hall to meet the guests.

After meeting the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, he still wanted to kneel down to pay respects.The ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother saw his trembling appearance, how could they let him kneel down, so they hurriedly helped him up.

"Kai Gong...'sick' is not serious..." Brother Jiu looked at Kui Xu, knowing it, and said with a smile that was not a smile.

Kui Xu saw that Brother Nine saw through him, his old face turned red, coughed twice, and said: "Perhaps it's because of the change of solar terms, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Why do you two masters come here free? It's something..."

The fourteenth elder brother looked at the crutch in Kui Xu's hand, and then at the clothes he was wearing, and felt that this look looked familiar.

Brother Jiu was impatient to go to court, did he ever look like this?Thinking of this, he also understood the taste, lowered his head and picked up the teacup without saying a word.

"Master is an idler, what else can you do? It's just that you are not comfortable, and you are thinking about it." Brother Jiu responded casually, scanning the hall with his eyes.

None of the things hanging on the wall or placed in the Bamboo grid are vulgar.Mingzhu has been the Prime Minister for decades, and this family is not usually rich.

Brother Jiu thought to himself, glanced at Kui Xu, and said, "I heard that Yongshou is on duty? Look at his small body and bones, he still needs maintenance. How about master and Ah Ling... talk to the adults over there and take care of him." Take it easy, don't tire him out."

"Became a bodyguard on a foreign duty, this time there is no retinue, and today I went to the palace as an errand." Kui Xu replied: "Please trouble Master Jiu for your troubles, I have thanked Master Jiu. I am really worried about him here. .”

Brother Nine waved his hand and said, "Why are you thanking me? It's just a matter of one sentence. I heard from Fujin that Mrs. Zun is very satisfied with Huang Ama's eldest daughter-in-law?"

Speaking of which, everyone has always been on good terms with each other, and they also speak common words.

Kui Xu did not doubt that there was him, and said with a smile: "Exactly, my wife has said several times that 'beautiful children and beautiful women are blessed by the Holy Spirit'."

He smiled on his face, but felt bitter in his heart.Looking at the posture of the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, they are just passing by, and they are not asking for medical advice at all.

Although today I am nostalgic and honor the old minister, but if I don't like it, I will be very heartless.

At this time, Brother Jiu said, "How about I find you a good wife as a matchmaker?"

Kui narrated that in the past ten months, the courtyard was cold and cold, and he kept chanting "the world is going down, and people's hearts are not old".Unexpectedly, at this time, Brother Jiu, with the dignity of a prince, would still come to protect the matchmaker.

In desperation, it seems that there is a chance of life.

He looked up.Asked: "Master Jiu is very kind, this servant is sick these days, and the most worrying thing is the marriage of the second child. Since he is the mediator of Master Jiu, he has been appointed, which girl is it? We climbed high."

Brother Jiu looked at Kui Xu and said with a smile: "The family status is not high or low, it is a Gushan Beizi Mansion. There are a few younger brothers who are still young. Little Gege was also born in 43. He is the same as you. Jia Yongfu is the same age, thirteen this year."

Kui Xu was not surprised to hear that it was the clan.Because the ladies from other banner families are all going to participate in the draft.Girls who are about the same age as Yongfu are either candidates for the draft, or they are physically and mentally disabled.

Mingzhu Mansion's marriage with the clan is not a one-off or two-off.

Kuixu’s mother, Jue Luo, is the fifth daughter of Prince Azig; the Geng family that Kuixu married is the granddaughter of Prince An Yuele—the daughter of Princess Heshuoroujia; his sister-in-law is Prince Kang. The princess who came out of the mansion, the eighth daughter of Prince Kang Jieshu.

"Thank you Jiuye for protecting the matchmaker. I will tell my wife later that I will prepare a small ceremony." Kui Xu's face has already added brilliance.

Brother Jiu is the smartest person, if he really lost his power, why would he take the initiative to mention this?

Thinking about things turning around, the emperor just coldly asked him to reflect on himself.

The fourteenth elder brother looked on coldly, which was quite surprising.Brother Jiu has always recognized money but not people, and is notoriously greedy. Why did he change his temper and start protecting the media?

"Whose Gege is it? My younger brother is curious. Tell me quickly. Whose Gege is so brilliant that Brother Jiu took the initiative to protect the matchmaker?" Brother Fourteen couldn't help but asked.

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows, closed the folding fan in his hand, pointed to his chest, and said, "Who else is talking about the three squares under the knee of the grandfather..."

Although the world is big, there is no one who is a father and a matchmaker for his own daughter.

Brother Fourteen and Kui Xu were both stunned, only Brother Nine's voice was left in the room: "Isn't this a happy event..."
