Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 686
Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Looking at the silk and satin in front of her, Ada's face showed a bit of puzzlement.

Chu Yu pointed to the clothes, and said with a smile: "Didn't the lord help you to obtain a patent? My sister is going to cross the ocean again, and she has to prepare a few sets of clothes like this when she goes to the outside world. Hurry up, or you'll make a few more sets."

"It's...too much...Thank you Princess..." Ada said in a slightly clumsy Chinese.

Chu Yu shook her head with a smile, and said, "Thank you, it's just a matter of little effort." Having said that, she pointed to a pack of flag shoes next to her, and said, "My sister didn't walk through the flower pot. They are also not stable. These are boat sole shoes, which can raise your stature, but are also more stable than that, and they are cheap."

Ada touched the new satin shoes, attracted by the exquisite embroidery on them.

When Chu Yu saw it, she explained: "The embroidered flowers on it are wealth and wealth, and on it are peonies, which look festive and auspicious."

Ada listened with a smile, and nodded with a vague understanding.

On Chuyu's side, someone took another jewelry box and opened it in front of Ada.

Inside was a complete set of gold and jade jewellery, which dazzled Ada. Chu Yu said, "This is a gift for you and me when you get married. Don't think it's vulgar. Let's think about it."

The clothes in front are fine, and Ada still dared to accept them. When she saw these gold and jade jewelry, she shook her head and said, "I can't take it, it's too expensive."

"Things are not free, my sister should not be a stranger. My uncle likes western things. My sister and fifth master remember to come back and give some things from there. Tomorrow is leaving, and I think my sister also has something to want." Pack up, now I won’t keep my sister.” Chu Yu smiled, and ordered people to pack up the clothes and jewelry, and send Ada back.

After Ada left, she put a smile on her face, showing a bit of sentimentality, and the circles of her eyes were already red.

At this time, Xi Cai came in to report: "Ge Ge, Xi Yun is here."

Chu Yu hurriedly lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and said, "Since she's here, why don't you tell her to come in quickly."

Seeing Chuyu like this, Xicai couldn't help crying, and choked up, "Gege..."

Chu Yu forced a smile on her face, and said, "What is this for? It's just going to the south, and it's not a parting of life or death? I'll take the golden beans soon, and she won't feel bad seeing her."

After a while, Xiyun came in.

The moment she saw Chu Yu, she bent her knees and fell to the ground.

"What is this for? Get up quickly." Seeing Chu Yu, she quickly got up, trying to help Xi Yun get up.

At this moment, Xiyun kowtowed his head, seeing Chuyu come to help him, how could he get up.

She burst into tears, and said with a crying voice: "Gege is merciful, let this servant give Gege a few heads. I will kowtow to Gege in the future, and I don't know when it will be."

Others don't talk about it, but they say that Xiyun and Xicai have served Chuyu since they left their heads.The relationship between master and servant for more than ten years, even if it can't be said that the relationship is better than flesh and blood, it is also different from others.

Chuyu could bear it, but Xicai was already sobbing softly beside her.

After kowtowing to Chuyu, Xiyun didn't get up in a hurry, but turned to Xicai, and solemnly said: "From now on, I will have to trouble my sister to wait on Gege."

Xi Cai was so bluffed that she didn't have time to wipe her tears, she quickly dodged and said, "My sister is going to kill me, how can I bear it?"

With red eyes, Chu Yu approached Xi Yun to help her up, and said, "I only thought that we would stay together for the rest of our lives, but I didn't expect that there would be a day of separation. It's not Beijing anymore, so take good care of yourself. If you are not used to staying here, or if you want to stay here in the capital, you can write a letter back, and I will tell the uncle to ask someone to replace you and come back."

Xiyun looked at Chuyu's face, nodded vigorously, and said with tears in his eyes, "I know that Gege needs to take good care of her body. Ever since she was injured in April, Gege's body has been weakened, and she has lost a lot of weight by looking at it." .”

Here we bid farewell, in the study in the front yard, Cao Yong is also having a farewell wine with Wei Xin.

At dawn tomorrow, Wei Xin will set off.Because before going to Guangzhou, he wanted to go to Jiangning to say goodbye to his parents and children, so Cao Yong sent people to find an official ship and take them south.

Thinking of Gao Taijun and Li Nai going south, Cao Yong had to send them to Tongzhou in person out of etiquette; the friendship like Wei Xin is really no less than that of relatives.But Cao Yong is still deciding not to give it away, parting is bitter, parting is bitter, it's all men, making trouble about that makes people feel sour and uncomfortable.

Several delicate side dishes and a jug of wine have already been placed on the Kang table.

Cao Yong personally filled the cup for Wei Xin and himself, raised his glass, and said to Wei Dao, "Drink!"

Wei Xin then raised his wine glass, both of them drank from the glass.

When it's time to part, I can't say anything.The words that should be instructed have been instructed many times before, and now there is only a cup full of sorrow.

After drinking a pot in one breath, Cao Yong sent another two pots.

Wei Xin became drunk and his tongue became thicker. Cao Yong wanted to pour wine, so he held the jug in his hand first, and said, "Your...Young Master, I'll come..."

"Then thank Goro." Cao Yong added a little smile and nodded.

Wei Xin looked at Cao Yong's expression, poured wine in his hand, and woke up when the wine overflowed.

He put down his wine glass and said wistfully, "I've been here for more than half a month, and you can tell you have a smile on your face. Although the capital is prosperous, it's not the town of Anle after all. Does the young master want to spend his whole life here?"

On Cao Yong's side, it's not that he didn't think about the way back, but where did he go?

Even if their father and son want to serve as officials, they must have a place to return to their roots.

Jiang Ning is familiar, but Cao's family lived there originally, their hometown is Fengrun in Zhili, and there is also an old house of grandfather in Liaoyang outside the pass.

On Fengrun's side, due to the conflicts between their ancestors, the relationship is still awkward.As for the cousin Cao Qi who is the patriarch over there, after Cao Yong returned to Beijing, he also met twice, but it was superficial, neither of them was a pretentious person, and they couldn't put on the posture of a family of flesh and blood.

"I'm the eldest son in my family. I don't have an elder brother to rely on, and I still have to be filial to my parents. Otherwise, I really want to go out with Goro to broaden my horizons." Cao Yong laughed.

"The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The son has been extraordinary since he was a child, and he will have great achievements in the future. At that time, Goro will be proud of him. It's just that the sentence that the son asked Goro, Goro will repeat again To the young master. Your body is your own size, the most important thing, if you want to open it up." Wei Xin put down his wine cup and said seriously.

"Well, I see." Cao Yong nodded and said.

While the two were talking, the wine didn't stop, and they poured out one cup after another. Without much effort, they poured down half of the pot again.

When Wei Xin opened his chatter box, he couldn't stop it.

Speaking of the fights in Jiangning City back then, he was a bit unconvinced, got up from the kang, pulled his shoes, patted his chest, and said: "Young master, Wulang is not convinced, the young master won me once, today we have to fight!" Let's try again and let the little one win."

He was in a drunken state, without any usual shrewdness, but he had the vigor of a street fighter in his youth.

Seeing him, Cao Yong smiled and said, "What if Wulang loses again?"

"Losing again?" Wei Xin held up his hands and said, "If you lose again, I will serve you as a follower for another ten years, no, for another 20 years." Having said that, he couldn't help but smile "hehe", raised his eyebrows, Said: "If the young master loses, you have to answer Wulang."

Seeing him so interested, Cao Yong couldn't help being curious, and said: "What's the matter, tell me. As long as I can deserve it, I should naturally."

Wei Xin puffed out his chest and said with a smile: "If I win, the young master will call me 'fifth brother'. Speaking of which, I am six or seven years older than the young master, but the young master is like a little grown-up."

Seeing him staring at him, Cao Yong nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, Wu Lang wants to win me."...

The two came out of the study, and the night outside was getting darker.

Wei Xin was already eight or nine points drunk, and when the night wind blew when he came out, he was a little unsteady when he walked.

When he arrived at the school field, before he had time to compete, he vomited and leaned against the wall to vomit.

After vomiting, he walked over crookedly, with his tongue out, mumbling in his mouth, but he couldn't make out what it was.Cao Yong leaned forward and listened to it. It took a long time to hear what he was reading.

"Call me Fifth Brother, in the future, my son will be tired, and I will rely on Wulang..."

Cao Yong's body shook, his chest was stuffy, and his nose was already sore.

Wei Xin couldn't open his eyes anymore, he drooped his head, staggered, almost fell down.

When Cao Yong saw him, he hurried forward to help him, called two young men, and sent Wei Xin back to the guest room to settle down.

After Wei Xin left, Cao Yong stood in the school yard for a while before arriving at Zhang Yi's house.

Zhang Yi's house is in a small house behind Cao's mansion, just around the corner from the back door.They used to live in the mansion, but because of the large population in the mansion, they bought a few small yards at the back, and several top managers in the mansion lived here.

It turned out that after Wei Xin proposed to take people to Xiamen, Cao Yong asked the opinions of those around him.

Capable and reliable manpower is really limited, no more than Cao Fang, Wu Mao, Wu Sheng, Zhang Yi, and Zhao Tong.Ren Shuyong and Ren Jiyong brothers, after all, are not born in a family, and they are not strong in business and communication.

Zhang Yi took the initiative to ask for Ying, and now his errands are the most leisurely, he is not as good as the Wu brothers in terms of housekeeping and management, and he is not as good as Zhao Tong in terms of meticulousness.Cao Fang's errands are heavy, and he can't do without easily.

This trip took a long distance, and when I came back, it was three or five years later.

Zhang Yiping has always had the best popularity and has many friends in the mansion, so now everyone gathers here to practice for him.

Seeing Cao Yong coming, everyone hurriedly got up and let the chief seat come out.

Zhang Yi had already drank a lot of wine, and with a bit of drunkenness, he personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Cao Yong. Excuse me. Since the old man is here, let the little one offer a toast."

Cao Yong took the wine cup, raised his neck and drank it in one sip, and said: "The mountains are high and the water is far away, so you should cherish it. Just go on vacation, take a stroll, open your eyes, and don't think too much. It's the same sentence I said a few days ago. In other words, when you don't like to be around anymore, just write in the letter, these people in our house can't find someone to replace you, can't you?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, and said, "Who is the young master? After accepting the errand, who can be a coward? It's just a few years of dealing with foreigners. What's the problem? Maybe when the time comes It’s such a beautiful blessing, learning from Master Wei to find a foreign woman will make those guys in the mansion who didn’t go envy.”

With a few words, everyone on the table laughed.

Zhang Yi blushed from the laughter, and pointed to Tong Zhao who was next to him: "I don't care about you when you smile. At your age, everyone else is already a father, and you don't even have a daughter-in-law."

"How can you get it on me? It's because I drank too much." Zhao Tong shook his head and said with a smile.

Zhang Yi looked annoyed, gave Zhao Tong a glance, turned around and said to Cao Yong, "Look at this kid, he can still smile shyly, so I have to take care of him, don't let this guy keep beating up." Just a mess, you have to find someone to treat him."

Cao Yong listened to his words and looked at Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong saw that Cao Yong was trying to care about him, so he waved his hands quickly and said, "Master, Zhang Yi is drunk, don't listen to his nonsense! The younger one is not yet 25, so there is nothing to worry about."

In many mansions in Beijing, there is such a rule that the girl is released at 25 to match the boy, and the boy is [-]. The host family either refers to the girl in the mansion or someone hired from outside to talk about the daughter-in-law.

So, Zhao Tong said so.

Seeing that Zhao Tong was stubborn, Zhang Yi wanted to say more, when he saw a young servant coming in to report that there was a female guest, and he asked to see Zhang Yi by name.

It's late at this time, why is there a female guest here?

Everyone looked at Zhang Yi's face, Zhang Yi's face was a bit complicated, and then he waved his hand and said, "No, just say it's late at night, I agree, please go back."

The boy responded, and Zheng Hu asked curiously: "The little widow who bought tofu brains came here? Why are you still hooking up after all these years?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi's face was embarrassed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Zhao Tong frowned, and said: "Even if we have contacts, it's not right to enter the house like this. In this way, where will the sister-in-law be placed?"

Zhang Yi squeezed a wry smile on his face, and said: "If you come from a small family, you don't know the rules, so don't worry about it. It's not easy to say. If a widow is unemployed, I won't be in the capital from now on, brother." If you can help, please help me a little bit."

Everyone wanted to make fun of him, but they couldn't bear to see that he seemed to be genuinely moved.

Wei Hei's heart moved, and he asked, "Since I was reluctant, I took it south. My brother and sister seem to be virtuous, so if you talk about it carefully, you won't stop me if you want to come."

When Zhang Yi heard this, his head was already shaking like a rattle, and he said, "I went to work for my master, and I didn't go to have a good time. If it wasn't for the order from the grandma, even the guy in my family wouldn't want to take it with me." .”

When Cao Yong saw that he was there, everyone became more cautious, and after giving Zhang Yi a few words, he went back first and left them to drink.

Back to Wutong Garden, Cao Yong was familiar with the arrangement. Both husband and wife were sad about parting, tossing and turning, and only closed their eyes in the middle of the night.

The next day, the east was pale, and Cao Yong and Chu Yu woke up.

This parting really made people feel uncomfortable, watching Wei Xin get on the horse, Cao Yong couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward two steps, pulled the rein, and said: "Fifth Brother, take care."

When Wei Xin heard this, he responded with a smile, and it took him a while to figure it out.

He forced his tears back, not daring to speak out, turned his face, waved his hands, and said, "My lord, take care too, Wulang is gone..."

Next is a happy event, asking for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket. . .
