Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 67
On August 48th of the [-]th year of Kangxi, Shengjia arrived at Bahrain Right Banner, accompanied by more than [-] harem concubines, civil and military officials, Mongolian kings, and soldiers of the Eight Banners.

The thirteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother returned to their errands, and then stayed outside the palace.

After Cao Yong came out to do errands, Xiao Man stayed with the sixteenth elder brother's escort, and now he is very familiar with the little eunuch Zhao Feng.Seeing his son-in-law this time, Xiaoman was very happy.

Cao Yong was not in a good mood, and the accomplice of the murderer who killed Wenxiu was never found.

During the half month that Cao Yong and sixteenth elder brother were away from the imperial court, the relationship between Bao Ya and Su He Baru was closer than before.Baoya has an active personality and often goes hunting with Sukhbaru in horse races.

After arriving at Bahrain Right Banner, Baoya and Tana met each other, and naturally there was another dispute.However, both of them were brought up by the rules since they were young, and they dare not be presumptuous before the imperial court. They always look happy and harmonious in front of Kangxi, and they can't wait to quarrel in private.

Bao Ya didn't have the awareness to be a guest, and Tana didn't have the self-cultivation to be a host. Whenever the two little Gege met, they would bark their teeth and claws.

Cao Yong gradually thought about it, even if the other party found him, so what?I should be more on guard because the other party just wanted to smear the prince, and he had already achieved his goal. If it was still going on endlessly, then I would go ahead and reveal this secret to the public.As we all know, there is naturally no reason to silence.However, in that case, I will inevitably become a target, and maybe it will cause Kangxi's dissatisfaction, which is really a bad idea.

On August 48th of the [-]th year of Kangxi, Kangxi held a banquet in the Bahrain Palace to entertain the Mongolian kings and civil and military officials who followed them.On the same day, Princess Heshuo Rongxian was crowned as Princess Gulun Rongxian, Urgon was named Gulun's forehead consort, and the princess's daughter Tana was appointed to marry the emperor's eldest grandson, Erbeile Hongxi, as the concubine Fujin. They will be married in March next year.

Gu Lun means "the world" in Manchu, and the emperor is the "Ninth Five-Year King", so his daughter is naturally worthy of the title of Gu Lun, but not all princesses are qualified to have the title of "Gu Lun". Only the princess born by the queen can be named "Princess Gulun".

If it is said that Princess Heshuo is the king of Bijun, then Princess Gulun is the prince of Bi.Hongxi is the eldest son of the crown prince, the best candidate for the future crown prince.It seems that all the Bahrainis believe that their little Gege will become a princess and queen in the world after more than ten years or decades.The whole of Bahrain was boiling, and there were countless feasts of various sizes for the celebration of Long Live Hong En.

Cao Yong looked at all this with cold eyes, feeling sorry for Princess Rongxian in his heart.Although he only saw the princess twice with Brother Sixteen, Cao Yong had a good impression of her.

Among the princesses of Kangxi, although Princess Rongxian ranked third, the fact that the first two princesses died early made her the actual eldest daughter.She is a very gentle woman, always with a calm smile on her face, not very talkative, and she is very kind to her younger brother Sixteen, who is the same age as her daughter.Even for Cao Yong, she doesn't put on airs of a princess, and she makes a few homely remarks, which makes people feel more cordial.

Cao Yong didn't know how this princess Rongxian would end up in history, but since she became the crown prince's in-laws, the end should not be much better.

After Tana was accused of marriage, she was detained in the palace to learn various rules.Cao Yong was clean, took time to write a letter to his father to report his safety, and also wrote letters to his mother Li Shi, sister Cao Jiashi, Zijing and Cao Zhong in the capital.

The grace of raising the flag of the Cao family has been issued a formal decree and spread to the south, and Cao Yin's Xie En Zhezi arrived a few days ago.There is also a family letter to Cao Yong, which is nothing more than expressing gratitude to the mighty grace of heaven and asking his son to do his job well.

Mrs. Li, who is taking care of her daughter in the Prince's Mansion in Jingcheng, also sent a letter. In addition to thanking Brother Sixteen for her support, she also mentioned that she had met several young ladies and was looking for a good match for her son. , and then confirm the matter.

Cao Yong read Li's letter and couldn't laugh or cry, he was only fifteen years old, so it's too early to marry a wife.Thinking of marrying a daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but dream about it.Although he is not a virgin in two lives, he is a real rookie in marriage.What will the person who will accompany you for a lifetime in the future look like?According to the vaguely remembered Hongxue materials, Cao Yong's wife in history was Ma Shi.Right now, there are really two ladies with the surname Ma, the sister of Ma Jun and the daughter of Ma Liandao, a doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ma Jun's younger sister is a lady with small feet who was seen in Linxiazhai back then. She is about the same age as Cao Jia's. Now she is seventeen or eighteen years old, so she should be married long ago.Maliandao's daughter, 13-year-old Bean Sprouts, a girl with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

When Cao Yong thought of these two ladies surnamed Ma, he suddenly lost his interest in dreaming of marrying a wife. "God, for the sake of how difficult it is for me to endure, let's change the history that doesn't affect the overall situation!" He couldn't help but pray secretly.

However, if the daughter-in-law changes, will Cao Xueqin still have a chance to come to this world?Is this a big deal?Without Cao Xueqin, there would be no masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions", so wouldn't Cao Yong become a sinner in the history of Chinese literature!However, even if little Cao Xueqin is born, the Cao family will not be defeated, and he will not die early, and the life of future generations will not be ups and downs.

As for sacrificing himself, sacrificing Cao's family, and preserving "Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Yong didn't have the slightest idea.He admitted that he was just an ordinary person, but he didn't have such great sentiments.All sacrifices are based on the preservation of one's own life and one's own comfortable life.As for "Dream of Red Mansions", when we have a son in the future, tell that boy, we will not compete with our son for the right to authorship.

When the sixteenth elder brother came to find Cao Yong, Cao Yong was looking at Li's family letter and thinking about these messes.When he realized that someone had come in, Elder Sixteen had already stood behind him for a long time, and saw Li's letter about his plan to betroth his son.

Brother Sixteen was feeling bored these two days, so when he found this topic, he naturally began to use it to tease Cao Yong.Cao Yong was gentle and refined on weekdays, and he seldom uttered dirty words. He just smiled at the women who offered to be nice to him, and he was quite immobile.

The sixteenth elder brother is quite frivolous, thinking that Cao Yong is still ignorant about men and women, and wants to help him have sex, so he poured Cao Yong wine on the day of offering sacrifices to Obao two months ago, and arranged for two Mongolian women at the same time Go to Cao Yong's tent and wait.Later, when I heard that Cao Yong had carried a woman back, he thought that the wood had finally opened up, and was afraid of delaying his good work, so he sent someone to send the woman away in the camp. Unexpectedly, it was just a misunderstanding in the end.

*
The sixteenth elder brother made trouble for two days, and the news of Cao Yong's upcoming engagement spread in the camp.Colleagues like Detehei and Shuming, when they saw Cao Yong, naturally congratulated them again and again.Even Bao Ya believed it was true, and stared at Cao Yong with big bright eyes, trying to find out which family's lady it was.Honest people like Suhebalu began to think about what to prepare for Cao Yong's wedding ceremony.

Cao Yong finally saw the power of "three people become tigers". It was passed around, and the engagements were all pretended to be Cao's family waiting for him to return to Beijing to get married. information.

Sure enough, someone began to send He Yi to their door, and the person who came was Tana who had disappeared in front of everyone since she got married.Her face is a little clearer, and her eyes are not as arrogant as before. It may be that she has learned the rules recently.In order to be a qualified emperor's grandson Fujin, now Tana is taught the rules by a special person, and it is estimated that she will no longer be as carefree as in the past.

Cao Yong didn't like this savage little princess, but he didn't feel disgusted in his heart, he was just a 14-year-old child.Her attitude towards servants is only common among nobles, only because of the limitations of her background and growth environment.For her love to entangle herself, in Cao Yong's view, it is just a petty sex.It's just because he has a better relationship with Baoya, and they often play together, and Tana likes it.

The congratulatory gift that Tana sent was a foot-long mahogany box with twelve small gold ingots inside.Five taels each, a total of 60 taels.

Seeing that Tana opened the box and revealed the gold ingot inside, Cao Yong was a little puzzled: "Ge Ge, this is..."

"This is my congratulatory gift for you!" Tana forced a smile on her face: "30 taels is your birthday present last month, and 30 taels is your wedding gift?"

"Gege misunderstood, the marriage is just a joke of the sixteenth master, please take it back!" Although Cao Yong didn't hate Tana, he was not interested in having anything to do with her.

Tana looked at Cao Yong: "After all, one day you are going to get married, right? It's just that I sent it off earlier!"

"Gege, etiquette is still too heavy, Cao Yong is ashamed and dare not take it!" Cao Yong still declined.

Tana didn't respond for a long time, she only raised her head, looking at the roof, her eyes were slowly covered with mist

When Cao Yong looked at Tana, her tears flowed down her slightly pale face.She whispered, as if to herself, but also to Cao Yong: "I know, you all don't like me, you all hate me! I'm not as cute as Baoya, not as cute as Sangege, everyone doesn't like me !"

"I envy Bao Ya, you guys play with her!"

"I've inquired about your family's affairs. I really need money. Although these are not many, they are my heart!"

"I know you don't want to see me, but I still want to be your friend. This is the first time in my life to give someone a gift."

"Don't give it back to me. I have no face to take it back. If you don't feel comfortable keeping it, prepare a gift in return. I'm the one who got married!"

Finally, Tana left, leaving behind the small box of gold lockets.

Cao Yong is not a soft-hearted person, and he has no extra sympathy, but after seeing the lonely and desperate eyes of this little girl, he did not open his mouth to refuse this untimely gift again.
