Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 658 Set the storm nine rice dumplings ([-])

Rehe, Sizhi Bookstore.

This is where Rehe Xinggong Middle Road is located, where Kangxi used to sit and lie down.Except for Kangxi and the eunuch on duty, there were only Cao's father and son in the room.

Cao Yin bowed and stood on one side, while Cao Yong had just been summoned and bowed his head to see him.

Kangxi looked at Cao Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, with no joy or anger on his face, and said: "I heard that your errands are done well, so get up and answer."

Cao Yin was wearing an official uniform and presumably came from the yamen. Seeing his son's pale face and blue lips, he couldn't help but frown, and his face couldn't hide his concern.

On Cao Yong's side, after hearing Kangxi's oral instructions, he responded, bowed his head and retreated behind his father to stand by.

The father and son are both cautious in their words and deeds, and they all have the same obedient appearance.Kangxi saw it, but felt uncomfortable.

Standing too far away, five or six steps away.I don't know if it's because Cao's father and son are standing far away, or because his ears are a little heavy, but he can't hear clearly during the conversation.

Kangxi raised his chin and signaled Wei Zhu to move a stool for Cao Yin.Cao Yin thanked Shengen again, and Fang sat next to the stool.

Except when Qianer Shengjia arrived, Kangxi met Cao Yong once among the officials who picked him up. This was the first meeting in Rehe.

After all, I am getting old, and I am a little tired after traveling this way. Kangxi didn't summon his ministers yesterday.

Seeing Cao Yin's thin appearance and hard to hide his old appearance, Kangxi didn't feel anything; seeing Cao Yong was also sickly and weak, Kangxi felt a little glaring.

He coughed, cleared his throat, and said to Cao Yong: "How is Chuyu? What did the imperial doctor say?"

Cao Yong went out, bowed and said: "If you go back to the emperor, there is no life to do. The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, but you just need to rest."

Hearing this, Kangxi's expression froze, he said "um", turned around, and said to Cao Yin, "What did the Ministry of Rites say? How is Yuqiu?"

Hearing this, Cao Yin stood up and offered the booklet sent by the Ministry of Rites from the capital with both hands.

Wei Zhu took it and handed it to Kangxi.

Kangxi rolled his eyes, his face was a little ugly, and he frowned and said: "I only said it's raining, but didn't say a word about the rain. It can be seen that there is loud thunder and little rain, which is not satisfactory." Speaking of this, he He said to Wei Zhu, "Go out and ask, has the governor's booklet arrived? If Song Zhu is here, tell him to come in."

"Hey!" Wei Zhu responded, bowing out.

Kangxi turned his head and said to Cao Yin: "From now on, Rehe will also hold a fast to pray for rain. From now on, I will follow my subordinates and local officials, and not disturb the people."

"The slave obeys the order." Cao Yin bowed in response.

While speaking, Wei Zhu had already entered with a booklet, followed by Song Zhu, a scholar who followed Rehe.

The governor of Zhili's booklet has arrived, Kangxi has read it, and sighed inwardly.Although praying for rain, it is "not yet enough", which is no different from no rain.

Kangxi put down the booklet and wished Song: "The capital is not getting enough rain, and the capital is ordered to continue fasting and praying for rain from May [-]st."

Song Zhu took the order and went down to draw up an order.

Kangxi told Cao Yin another two words of praying for rain, then he glanced at Cao Yong and said, "I see that you look bad, is it because you are working hard? It's better to take a rest for a few days, and then come out to work again."

On Cao Yong's side, he naturally acted as if he didn't dare to take credit for it, saying "ashamed", because of family affairs, he was a little negligent in official affairs, most of it was the strength of his colleagues in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and so on.

He was telling the truth, but Kangxi carefully looked at his expression, whether it was resentment or not.

Seeing that Cao Yong was no different, Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Kneel down first, I still have something to say with your father."

Cao Yong was relieved when he withdrew from the study.

Brother Sixteen, with his hands behind his back, was already waiting not far away.

Seeing Cao Yong coming out, Elder Sixteen came forward to meet him, frowned and said, "This repair work is over, why are you so stubborn? Let's take leave tomorrow, who will show this half-dead look? If the body is broken, there is no place to take regret medicine."

Naturally, it was for the Ninth Five-Year Lord to see. Today's face-to-face is over, and I can drink medicine well when I go back.

Cao Yong thought in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm a little tired from busy picking up the driver these days, just rest for two days."

Elder brother Sixteen took Sixteen Fujin to visit Chuyu yesterday, and he knew that he had narrowly escaped death.

He stomped his feet vigorously, sighed, and said: "I went back early. If I were in Rehe, we would continue to arrest the murderer, and let no one take advantage of it. Fortunately, Da Gege slowed down, otherwise I'm afraid even you Also ruined..."

Although more than half a month has passed since the incident happened, Cao Yong still felt chills in his back when he recalled it.Not only did his back feel cold, but he felt his palms were also sweaty, and his eyes turned black involuntarily.

Brother Sixteen saw that Cao Yong was silent, so he punched him and said: "It's still a man, it's been a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already changed his face, supported Cao Yong who was shaking, and called out loudly: "Cao Yong, Cao Yong..."

Just when Cao Yin came out of the study, his face turned pale when he saw this situation.

There were two young eunuchs next to him. Seeing Elder Sixteen's pale face, they were too frightened to go forward, so Elder Sixteen said angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and lift him up."

In a hurry, a group of people helped Cao Yong to find the imperial doctor.

Wei Zhu stood at the door of the study, with a bit of worry on his face.When everyone was far away, he collected his thoughts, turned around and entered the room, and said in a low voice: "I want to report to the Lord Long Live, it was He Shuo's son-in-law Cao Yong who suddenly fainted, which caused the sixteenth elder brother to panic, and made the noise." .”

Kangxi was sitting cross-legged on the kang, reading other books, when he heard Wei Zhu's words, his body froze.

After a while, he said to Wei Zhu, "Go over and ask, how is the situation?"

Cao Yong miscalculated.

He just thought that he was overwhelmed and his complexion was a little bad.

In fact, due to restlessness in sleeping and eating while taking care of Chu Yu a few days ago, his body was a little hurt and his feet were weak.He just thought that he didn't sleep well, didn't take it too seriously, and delayed it for so long.

Whether it is "imbalance of the liver and spleen" or "the old disease is still there, worry hurts the body", the imperial doctor said a lot of words, and there was only one meaning, that is, Cao Yong was ill, seriously ill, and needed to be taken care of.

When Cao Yong woke up on the bed, he already felt extremely regretful.

Chu Yu is still not recovering, and she is sick again, so let her parents worry about her.

When Wei Zhu came over according to the order, he heard Cao Yong say to Cao Yin: "Father, the son is fine, father don't need to worry. It's just because there are too many things recently and I don't sleep much."

Brother Sixteen saw Cao Yong like this, and couldn't help but want to say a few words about him.Before he could open his mouth, he saw Cao Yin took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and touched Cao Yong's forehead, his eyes were already red.

Seeing their father and son like this, Elder Sixteen hastily closed his mouth.

"My father is incompetent... My son is tired..." Cao Yin said, already in tears.

Brother Sixteen couldn't help being surprised, and even Cao Yong was stunned.

Having been a father and son for fifteen or six years, it was the first time seeing Cao Yin lose his composure like this.

"Father..." Cao Yong murmured: "It's because the son is not good, let the father worry about it..."

Standing at the door, Wei Zhu couldn't help stretching out his sleeves to wipe his eyes when he saw this situation.

It is difficult to be a man, it is even more difficult to be a courtier, and it is even more difficult to be a capable courtier.

Wei Zhu sighed, turned around, asked the imperial physician a few words in a low voice, and then turned back to report.

In the room, Cao Yin seemed to have realized that he lost his composure, turned around and wiped away his tears, bowed to Elder Sixteen who was standing next to him, and said, "My minister lost his composure, so don't blame Elder Sixteen."

When the sixteenth elder brother saw it, he quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm not an outsider, so you don't have to be polite to my uncle."

Cao Yin glanced at his son, and said: "You rest here first, and arrange for the father to fast and pray for rain, and then I will send you back."

"Son is fine, father don't need to worry..." Cao Yong was already struggling and wanted to get off the ground, but he was dazed before his eyes and was held down by brother sixteen.

"Father is busy, the son will lie down for a while, and go home by himself." Cao Yong had no choice but to say this.

Cao Yin looked at the eldest son, still feeling a little worried.

Brother Sixteen patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I'll send him back later."

Cao Yin hesitated for a moment, then said: "In that case, I will trouble brother Sixteen..."

Seeing his father's figure going away, Cao Yong covered his eyes with his arm and said: "I'm really not sick...just a little tired..."

Hearing the words, the sixteenth elder brother was already angry, pulled a chair, sat down in front of Cao Yong's bed, and said viciously: "You have to have two more holes on your body to call it a problem? Your body, The past few years have almost become a sieve, so we can't cherish it."

Hearing this, Cao Yong could only smile wryly. He lowered his arms, looked at Elder Sixteen, and prayed, "Master Sixteen, I have a discussion with you. Don't make it too public. Chuyu is not healthy. Great, our wife is timid..."

Brother Sixteen heard that he wanted to conceal his illness, so he gave him a look and said, "Don't even think about it, is this just a joke? If you procrastinate, you are really unfilial."

"I'll rest here, drink the medicine and go back... just because I'm afraid they will worry and think it's a serious illness. I'll take good care of it when I go back. I won't be in the House of Internal Affairs from tomorrow..." Cao Yong discussed.

Elder Sixteen glanced at him, and said impatiently: "I can't even open my eyelids, what are you talking about? Go to sleep, and wait until you wake up..."

When Cao Yong heard the words, he felt relieved and fell asleep drowsily.

The sixteenth elder brother looked at the sleeping Cao Yong, sighed after a long time, got up and came out, and hurried to Sizhi Bookstore to meet him.

Because fasting requires not only being vegetarian, but also not eating after noon, so today's imperial meal is served early.

When the sixteenth elder brother entered the room, Kangxi was eating.

There was only one side of the dining table, and there were seven or eight dishes, all of which were vegetarian dishes.

"Huang Ama..." Elder Sixteen's voice was a little eager, but Kangxi stared back at his next words.

"As a prince, how can you be in a panic when things happen?" Kangxi put down his chopsticks, frowned and scolded Elder Sixteen.

The sixteenth elder brother heard it, and with a "plop", he knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "I know I was wrong, and I will take the emperor's ama to teach me."

Kangxi snorted coldly and asked someone to remove the dining table.

Brother Sixteen knelt for a long while, but raised his head without hearing the cry, and was right in front of Kangxi.

"It's your turn to be wronged?" Kangxi saw that the sixteenth elder brother seemed to be resentful, and his face was dark and frightening.

The sixteenth elder brother heard the words, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I don't dare, I just... just worry that Cao Yong will hurt his body too much, lose his life, and Huang Ama will lose a loyal minister..."

Kangxi had just heard Wei Zhu talk about the scene at Cao Yong's side, and now he heard Brother Sixteen say that, so he knew he was telling the truth.

If it were any other courtier, Kangxi would not have liked to see him so close to the prince elder brother.But the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Yong have a long history, and now they are working together, so friendly, it reminds him of the scene with Cao Yin when he was young.

"Are you seeking medicine? Seeking medical treatment?" Kangxi waved his hands and said, "You can make arrangements, there is no need to ask for instructions."

"The minister is here to ask for leave. Huang Ama, Cao Yong, spare him the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let him rest for a while..." Elder Sixteen said with some pleading.

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, looked at Elder Sixteen, and said, "Why don't you rest? Chuyu's injury is healed? Is it possible to set off and return to Beijing?"

Brother Sixteen was at a loss for words for a while, and whispered: "I'm afraid I can't bear the trouble of driving and horses. The imperial doctor ordered that it will take another month to get better."

Kangxi walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "As I told you, Cao Yong has done a good job this time. Since he is sick, he will take half a month's leave." : "Kneel down, I still need to read the scriptures."

Although it is a half-month holiday, it is not the same as what Brother Sixteen was looking forward to.But seeing that Kangxi had no intention of saying anything more, Elder Sixteen had no choice but to follow the order.

It just so happened that Wei Zhu was also ordered to go out to summon the ministers. Seeing Elder Sixteen's dejected look, he couldn't help but leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Master Sixteen, don't worry, the Emperor's master just heard that Mr. Cao is crying. I also sighed a few times, I am afraid that I am also thinking about Cao Erfu's side..."

Brother Sixteen's eyes lit up when he heard the words...

Beijing, Qianmen Street.

Outside Daoxiang Village, there was already a long queue of hundreds of people, winding to the end of the street.

The shopkeepers and shopkeepers of other merchants looked at it, no matter whether they were in the same industry or not, they were a little jealous.Speaking of which, a few more Nanweier bakery shops have opened seriously on this street, just to learn how to pick up some individual customers.

For those who don't know the details, seeing the excitement, they couldn't help but stop, and asked the crowd: "Isn't it just a bakery shop? Why are these people queuing up?"

Those who were enthusiastic pointed to the newly posted red couplets on both sides of the shop in Daoxiang Village, and said, "Have you seen it? 'Four seasons of flowers compete for cleverness, and nine rice dumplings compete for new ones'!" The rice dumplings in Daoxiang Village are just on the market today. This nine-zizi rice dumpling is not available in other houses, and everyone is afraid that they will not be able to buy it..."

Hearing this, the man still couldn't figure it out, and said, "Isn't it just zongzi? If you do any more tricks, can it still be a side effect?"

Seeing that he couldn't understand, the person in line curled his lips and said without looking at him, "Who is as decent as a Daoxiang village gift..."
