Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 682 Turning point ([-])

Old friends reunited after a long absence, and there was less restraint on the wine table. It was okay that night, and I fell asleep drowsily; but the next morning, I had a splitting headache.

Seeing Cao Yong like this, Chu Yu was very worried, and persuaded him, "Why don't you rest for a day and ask someone to go to the yamen for leave."

Cao Yong waved his hand and said: "Let's go over there for a while, and come back to sleep if you have nothing to do."

After leaving the second gate, Wei Hei and Zheng Hu were already waiting.

Cao Yong looked at Zheng Hu and said: "Wu Lang said he wanted to go around the capital. I'll go to the yamen. You stay in the mansion and take their husband and wife out. It doesn't matter if you use a car or a sedan chair, you can do whatever you want. Er, if you come back from the palace on a mission today, let someone tell him and make him happy."

Zheng Hu agreed, Cao Yong took the reins from Xiaoman, got on his horse, and a group of people came to the palace.

After entering the House of Internal Affairs, Dong Dianbang had already arrived.

Seeing Cao Yong, Dong Dianbang took two steps forward and said: "Go and invite your lord to come here, the Seventeenth Master is sick!"

Cao Yong was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "I saw you a few days ago, how can you say that you are sick when you are sick?"

"I heard that the night before yesterday I had diarrhea due to improper diet. The imperial physician prescribed a prescription that night, but it didn't turn out well. Prince Jian just went to visit the doctor, and he has already given a prescription for Rehe." Dong Dianbang replied.

Although the relationship between Cao Yong and the seventeenth elder brother is not as close as that of the sixteenth elder brother, they can be regarded as close. After hearing this, he couldn't sit still, got up and went to the elder brother's place.

Elder brother said, the seventeenth elder brother was wearing a piece of clothing and sitting on the kang. He didn't know what he was arguing with Yarjiang ah.Next to him was an old doctor with a white beard, holding a prescription in his hand, and occasionally said a few words in cooperation.

Hearing the report from the little eunuch, Cao Yong, He Shuo's son-in-law, had arrived.

The seventeenth elder brother heard this, hurriedly called to come in, and then smiled wryly at Yaerjiang A: "Brother Wang, it's really not a big problem, it's just because I ate a few more mouthfuls of fruit the day before yesterday, and cleared my stomach twice, so why bother to mobilize everyone. "

Yaerjiang gave him a white look, and said: "Why do you call the teacher to mobilize the crowd? Your status is noble, if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter whether it's the king or Cao Yong, who has good fruit to eat?"

Elder Seventeen smiled and said, "Come on, I know Brother Wang loves me. It's just that Guan and Li, the two imperial physicians, were the ones who prescribed the two medicines. If Brother Wang wants to be punished, let him Brother accepts it. Hold your hand high and let the two of them go."

But Yaerjiang didn't appreciate it, and said: "You grew up in the palace since you were young, why are you still so confused? The prescription at the entrance is not a joke. If there is something wrong, there is no place to buy regret medicine. Guan, The two imperial physicians, Li and Li, are old men on duty in the palace, so they must abide by the rules of the palace. Otherwise, everyone can do whatever they want, so there will be no rules in the future."

Elder Seventeen wanted to beg again, Yaerjiang waved his hand, interrupted him, and said: "If you really think about the two of them, you will recover from your illness and get better soon. Otherwise, don't say yes to the two of them." Wear it on top, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my head."

While speaking, Cao Yong had already followed the little eunuch in, and he was taken aback when he saw the sallow face of the seventeenth elder brother.

Yaerjiang glanced at Cao Yong, then at Elder Seventeen, and said with a smile: "Look at this, it's like not seeing each other every day is like three autumns."

Cao Yong has been slowed down, leaned over to salute Ya Erjiang A.

Yaerjiang said with a smile: "I went to look for you yesterday, and I heard that you went to Tongzhou. Cao Yong, you have to take care of the things I mentioned before. I won't tell you about this today. Next time we meet, you have to pay attention." Tell me about it." Said, said goodbye to Brother Seventeen, and left first.

Brother Seventeen stood up and wanted to see him off in person, but Yaerjiang stopped him.

When Yaerjiang'a left, Cao Yong looked at Elder Seventeen and said, "It's only been a few days, how come it's like this, it looks like it's going to fall when the wind blows."

Elder Seventeen waved the waiters out of the house, leaned on the kang, and said, "I'm also thinking about it, how could I be tossing like this, I've had diarrhea for two days, and now my legs are shaking. It doesn't look immoral, but rather 'unclean'. Fortunately, Fujin is fine, otherwise I wouldn't have endured like this."

When Cao Yong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Master Seventeen, this cannot be tolerated. This is a big matter. If you hurt your body, it will be too late to say anything."

Elder Seventeen shook his head and said, "Furuo, you are not an outsider, so I tell you the truth. It's unfortunate, and I feel depressed too. It's just that Huang Ama is not in the palace now, and the palace affairs are left to the concubine Defei." It's shared with Prince Jane that if you make a big fuss, you'll offend people. There's no big deal left and right, so let's make the big and small things smaller."

Cao Yong sat on the side, looking at Elder Brother Seventeen, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Life is not easy, and the prince also has the prince's difficulties.

The seventeenth elder brother was looked at uncomfortable by Cao Yong, and said: "Why did you provoke Prince Jane? Although it is rumored that he has changed his temper, he should be more careful. In case, if you avoid it, it will hurt you." reputation……"

Hearing this, Cao Yong thought of Yaerjiang's rhetoric on that day, and couldn't help but feel a headache, so he said it to Brother Seventeen in a few words.

Elder Seventeen heard this, and couldn't help concentrating on it. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's easy for others to say, Fu Ruo is not to be messed with at the clan mansion. It doesn't matter if you earn money or not. It’s not easy to fall. Those lords in the clan don’t have any real business all day long, so they just think about how to make money. If you make money for them, their desires will be hard to fill. In the future, they will become addicted. Swallow them all; if you don’t earn money for them, they won’t think about your difficulties, and they will regard you as a living enemy.”

Who said it wasn't? If he didn't know this, Cao Yong wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Seeing that Elder Seventeen spoke thoroughly, Cao Yong couldn't help feeling a little hopeful, saying: "Master Seventeen, I'm also in a state of desperation. I've been thinking about it for several days, but I haven't come up with a proper idea. Lord Seventeen is kind and helpful. how?"

Elder Seventeen heard this, rolled his eyes, and lazily said: "You just get on the pole, and don't look at what I have been tossing."

If he didn't say that, Cao Yong would still be a little worried; but seeing Brother Shiqi's attitude, Cao Yong would be more at ease, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not easy to bully Master Shiqi, he's so 'sick' , is also a countermeasure."

Elder Seventeen heard the words, sat up, went down to take the glass mirror from Baibaoge, looked at it carefully, and asked: "Why, what's wrong?"

Cao Yong said with a smile: "Next time the Seventeenth Master is 'ill' again, his eyes will be squinted, and his voice will be quieter, so it will be fine."

The seventeenth elder brother put down the mirror, gave Cao Yong a sideways glance, and said: "Who is a fool? I don't know these two. This is in front of you. I didn't want to pretend that's all. You are fine, and you have seen my excitement. "

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "It doesn't mean that. This is not wronged. I really want to ask the Seventeenth Lord for an idea." Speaking of this, he paused and said: "You also know me, for these Calculations are beyond comprehension.”

Elder Seventeen had already suppressed his smile, pondered for a while, and said, "Let's draw cakes. Come up with tricks, find a way that looks like making money, and then withdraw and stay far away. At that time, if you make money , It’s your skill; if you don’t make money, then you can push the fault to the executor with both hands. If you make a fuss, let them make a fuss. The more time-consuming and laborious it is, the more it will appear that you have racked your brains It can also make them bother and worry, and they won't have the energy to think about you for a while."

These words sound plain, but after thinking about it, they are all knowledge.

For the other elder brothers, Cao Yong still doesn't know; the seventeenth elder brother has been a classmate with Cao Yong.

The two met each other when they were teenagers, and they knew each other's temperament.Seventeenth elder brother, originally a young man with precocious wisdom, but due to his limited background, he has always pretended to be clumsy in front of others.

Now, to be able to point out Cao Yong's words, he can also feel his affection for Cao Yong.

Cao Yong has stood up and bowed solemnly to Brother Seventeen.

Elder Seventeen sat down on the kang, smiled and said: "Come on, come on, I can't see your serious appearance. Remember, I'm still 'sick', and I won't wait for empty-handed visits next time. Ginseng, deer antler, I don't have too much here..."

Suzhou, Weaving Mansion, Study Room.

Li Xu sat behind the desk, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "How is it, what did the doctor say?"

There was a person standing opposite, who bowed and replied: "Master, my little grandma was a little bit red in the morning, and the doctor prescribed a prescription to protect her pregnancy. It is said that my little grandma is already weak, if you don't relax, you may not be able to keep it..."

Li Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

After hesitating for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Go and prepare the carriage, master, I'll go over and have a look."

After a while, the carriage was ready.It's not the carriage that Li Xu usually rides in, but the blue woolen carriage that is common in the streets and alleys.

The carriage went out from the back door of Zhizao Mansion, walked not far, entered an alley, and entered a house.

A butler has already come up to greet him, waiting by his side.

Li Xu got out of the carriage, passed through the second gate, and entered the inner hall.

On the soft couch in the Westinghouse, a woman was lying with her eyes closed.Wearing moon-white clothes, her waist is already showing.Her face was frighteningly pale, with no trace of blood, and tears glistened in the corners of her eyes.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the woman slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Li Xu, a look of pain and helplessness appeared on her face.

Li Xu took two steps forward, sat on the edge of the soft couch, stretched out his hand, and rubbed it on the woman's belly, said: "Don't be naughty, take good care of your body, and give birth to a son for the master, it will be for your own benefit."

When the woman heard this, she didn't know whether it was anger or fear, she trembled slightly, and said after a while, "Aren't I dead? Dead people can have children? Just let me die..." In the end, it was already endless Desolation and despair.

Li Xu's hand slid across the woman's chest, landed on her face, pinched her chin, and said: "If the master says you are dead, you are dead; if the master says you are alive, you are alive. Be obedient, the master will naturally love you; otherwise, the master is not good-tempered, um, remember..."

While speaking, his gaze had already landed on the woman's waist, and he said: "The master has made people look at it, you are a suitable man. Give the master a son properly, and you will be a great hero of the Li family..."
