Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 693

Bi Keleuliyasutai, the royal driver is walking.

Although it is not yet Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather on the grassland has turned cooler.Yi Duli tightened his clothes, and looked not far away.As far as the eye can see, an official in a white goose men's uniform followed the servant and walked towards the direction of Shengjia.

Seeing this, Yi Duli couldn't help sighing, at this moment someone laughed and said, "Old Yi, why are you watching?"

It was Elder Sixteen who arrived, and Yidu hurriedly turned around to salute Elder Sixteen.

Brother Sixteen supported his arm, and said: "I see you three times a day, why do you worship? If there are no outsiders, these vain rituals can be saved."

While speaking, Elder Sixteen looked at the direction that Elder Sixteen was looking at just now, and vaguely recognized Hua Shan, the young minister of the Taipu Temple who was called to come over from the capital to give a face-to-face performance.

There are several Huashan in this dynasty, the most famous one is the deceased Heshuo's son-in-law, Huashan, the Minister of Internal Affairs, who is the head of Yiduli.

Hua Shan, who followed the servant just now, was originally a guard in the palace. After Yi Duli was demoted last year, he took over as the young minister of Taipusi.

"Old Yi knows Huashan?" Elder Sixteen said with a smile, "This time it's a good time for him. There is a shortage of military horses in the northwest, and the supply of the Eight Banners Ranch is insufficient. This time it will be thanks to Taipusi Liangyi Ranch. The problem of military horses has been solved. Huang Ama is happy in her heart, even if she doesn't get a promotion, the future will be bright."

Because he was acquainted with Elder Sixteen, Yi Duli lost a little bit of scruples, and said, "Master Sixteen, this is why this servant is making trouble. To be honest, if there were no Master Cao and Tang Zhiyu on the Liangyi Ranch, A person who is dedicated to his duties, prevents the epidemic, and increases the number of living things, will not achieve today's results. But the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. It was called Tang Zhiyu who came to play, but the slaves didn't say anything; But Huashan, the master who may not even have been to the ranch..."

Elder Sixteen heard this, nodded, and said: "That's right, although there was no big commotion, Cao Yong was also idle. The way to prevent the epidemic seems to be that he and Tang Zhiyu met each other that year. I figured it out when I was a follower."

In fact, Yi Duli said so in his mouth, but in his heart he lamented his bad luck.If I didn't make any mistakes and let the censor grab the braid and impeach him, then I would be the one who came to the interview today.

Although he looks free and easy on the surface, which man doesn't expect himself to become famous?
People who are also bachelors, others are either a governor or a court official, only he is ups and downs, still spinning around in the position of a magistrate.

During festivals and festivals, when he saw his clansmen, he also felt ashamed and flustered.

The sixteenth elder brother is human sperm, so it is obvious at a glance that Yi Duli is suffering from pantothenic acid.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Just now, I asked someone to buy a few pieces of venison, let's go, Lao Yi, let me have a barbecue..."

"Venison? Is it the one that was surrounded a few days ago?" Yi Duli said with a smile: "It's better to hang out with the sixteenth master, and the tent outside is not allowed to light a fire at will."

Brother Sixteen turned his head, looked towards the direction of the capital, and said: "I saw the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the donated meat to the capital, as well as the governors of other provinces, are almost here... This year, there is still Cao Yong, which is considered decent... "

Haidian, Liam Baylor Garden.

Looking at the budding chrysanthemums in the garden, Brother Jiu also felt a little leisurely. Looking at the scenery in the garden, he smiled and said to Brother Eight next to him: "Myna, this is a good time to recuperate. The land boundary has a beautiful view. Although it cannot be said to be a paradise, but staying in this garden, I can think less about the usual troubles. The fly in the ointment is that there are many flowers and plants placed, but few moving flowers Yes. When the eighth sister-in-law changes her temper, it will be the great blessing of the eighth brother." The last sentence lowered the volume as a joke.

The eighth elder brother looks thin, but his complexion has improved a lot.

Hearing Brother Jiu's words, he smiled, pointed to the huts in front of him, and said: "Brother Jiu, go over there and have a look, I also built a quiet room."

"Quiet room?" Elder Brother Jiu was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that Mynah also learns from Fourth Brother to practice Zen?"

"It's not meditation. I'm reading the Tao Te Ching recently." Eighth Prince said indifferently.

After hearing this, Brother Nine had already stopped in his tracks, put away the smile on his face, showing a bit of worry, and said, "Myna..."

The eighth elder brother stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder and said: "Ninth brother, don't worry, my brother is still in love with the secular world, so I can't be a Taoist priest. It's just that I have been in the desert for a year, I have thought a lot, and I seem to have realized a lot. Thinking about the old days Prosperity, the arrogance and superficiality at that time, there is no regret in my heart." Speaking of this, he looked at the distant sky and said: "If I can calm down and get rid of the glitz, I won't be in the situation I am today. .”

This is an old saying repeated, and it is tears when it is said.

Even the ninth elder brother who wanted to be careless couldn't bear to continue this topic, which caused the eighth elder brother to feel sad.

He remembered something and said: "Brother, talk to Sister-in-law Ba, collect all the gold in the mansion, and gather more."

"Ninth Brother uses money? Why do you still need gold? I don't know how much gold there is. As for silver, there seems to be some silver in the house. Ninth Brother, you need to talk more, just talk." Eighth Brother said.

"Look at what Myna said, if my younger brother is short of money, there is still someone generous in this capital?" Brother Jiu said with a bit of pride: "It's the news from the clan mansion that gold is used there. It is exchanged from the clan. The official exchange is one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, and they exchange it for 11 taels."

The eighth elder brother sounded confused. A few days ago, I heard the ninth elder brother talk about the lack of money in the clan's mansion. He was afraid that the emperor's father would "rob the rich and help the poor" to hit him. How come the clan's mansion has money now?

Seeing that the eighth elder brother was puzzled, the ninth elder brother said: "I forgot to mention it to the eighth elder brother. Yaerjiang received 20 taels of silver from the household department last month."

"20? Didn't you say that the Ministry of Households is short of money and is about to start a donation?" The eighth elder brother became more and more confused the more he heard it, logically speaking, he was also well-informed about the news in the officialdom.

It's just that after moving to the garden, he wanted to get rid of impetuousness and cultivate his morals, so he didn't pay much attention to the news from the outside world.

Now, this Lian listened together, but felt awkward, as if there was something in it that he didn't know.

This feeling is very bad, as if I have become a useless person.

"It seems that the clan's house is short of money. According to the previous example, the money is paid from the household department." Brother Jiu said: "Those uncles in the clan, who would think about whether the court is short of money, as long as they are not wronged, It's good; otherwise, I don't know how to make a fuss. Huang Ama can't bear the name of treating his family members poorly, so he can only indulge them. They are all trash snacks, if they don't have the blood of Aixinjueluo , I’m afraid there’s nowhere to go for food.”

When it came to the end, Brother Jiu already showed a bit of contempt.

The two brothers were talking when they saw a servant running over in a hurry.

"What's the matter, flustered?" Seeing his flustered expression, Brother Eight frowned and said, "Didn't you see me talking to Master Jiu? Go down to the manager and get twenty boards."

Hearing the words, the servant shivered, still following the rules, first knelt down and thanked the master for his "graciousness", and then said: "Master, Mother Ding ordered the servants to come over and ask the master to come over. It is said... Fujin, I'm afraid Something is wrong..."

When the eighth elder brother heard this, he couldn't help but have a headache, fearing that he would not be quiet for several days.

Bafujin is the daughter of the princess, she was spoiled since she was a child, and she couldn't bear it the most.On the other hand, these days when the eighth elder brother stopped his salary, rumors came out from the shadows outside, that he had lost his sacred heart, seized the title and banned them.

Ba Fujin was not convinced, if he heard someone mocking him, he would definitely scold him back.

Today I heard that I went to the garden of Prince Cheng's Mansion to listen to an opera, so I must have heard something unpleasant again.

"Didn't the eighth sister-in-law go to visit? Are you back?" Brother Jiu saw that the eighth elder brother hadn't moved for a long time, and said: "Since the eighth sister-in-law has something to do with her, go quickly. I won't go there today. Sister-in-law Ba said hello, brother-in-law said hello to sister-in-law on behalf of my younger brother."

Nine elder brothers are obedient, and have also seen the pungentness of the eight Fujin.Afraid that Brother Ba would not be able to wipe off his face, he said goodbye knowingly.

The eighth elder brother showed a bit of a wry smile, and said: "I originally wanted to let someone set up a table and have a drink with the ninth brother. It seems that we will have to wait."

"Brother will come back in two days. At that time, I will buy two jars of good wine to honor my eighth brother and eighth sister-in-law." Brother Jiu said with a smile, and did not stay for a long time, so someone called his personal servant, He Yuzhu, and walked out in a stroll.

After leaving the garden, Brother Jiu asked: "Just now you were waiting by the garden, did you hear any movement from the other side of the house? What's going on? What's going on with the eight Fujin?"

"As for Master Hui, the slaves are far away, and it is unreal to hear the movement over there. But from a distance, I saw the women dragged a girl out. Maybe they disobeyed the eight blessings, violated the family law, and used the mat Roll it up, I'm afraid I won't come over."

Thinking of Ba Fujin's temper, even Brother Jiu also frowned, and said to himself: "How old are you, still have this temper? Why don't you think about learning "Tao Te Ching" from your husband..."

Garden Front House, Huanxiu Hall.

Looking at the mess on the ground and thinking about the bloodstains in the yard that hadn't been washed away, Brother Ba looked at Ba Fujin who was crying like crazy, and asked in a low voice to Nanny Ding, "Did you hear some nasty words again?" ?”

Nanny Ding shook her head and said the reason in a low voice.

This time the root cause was not gossip, but venison.

Today, there are quite a few Fujin and wives who listened to the opera, but those who know more about Fujin's temper, no one really dares to provoke her.Even if the eighth elder brother is unsuccessful, he is still the prince of the dynasty.

There are not many who really dare to ridicule Bafujin face to face; it's just that she is supercilious, and some words obviously don't mean that, but they sound like good words, and she only thinks that others have subtexts, and she must argue about it. Ken stopped.

In the middle of listening to the play, there was an imperial guard passing the decree, which was a reward from Kangxi, two pieces of venison.

The third elder brother was following the retinue, and San Fujin happily accepted the order and thanked him for his grace.

Although there is no shortage of these pieces of meat in any family, but this is something from Mulan Xingwei, and it is also a gift from the emperor. Naturally, Sanfujin has a bright face, and other ladies are also flattering.

Sanfujin was fascinated by her ears and eyes, and also imitated her husband's "humility", only saying that it was the grace of Huang Ama, and designated that it was also available in other prince's mansions.

It just so happened that Wu Fujin also lived in the Haidian Garden. After hearing this, he asked the edict guard a little more.

In addition to the third elder brother, there are fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother, seventh elder brother, ninth elder brother, tenth elder brother, and twelfth elder brother.Even the elder brothers in the palace, everyone has a share.

Bafujin next to him changed his face when he heard this.

Among the princes of the current dynasty, apart from the eldest brother, the third elder brother who was imprisoned, and the thirteenth elder brother who was not far from being imprisoned, only the eighth elder brother did not give meat.

She already had a heart disease, and when she looked at others, she felt that other people's eyes were wrong.

After saying a few sneering words, Bafujin came out of the garden of Prince Cheng's mansion and returned to his own garden.

But the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Even if there was a disagreement between father and son, they were close relatives after all.Could it be that if he loses his sacred heart, the eighth elder brother is not the prince, and he himself is not the prince Fujin?

In this way, in the eyes of caring people, the husband is like the elder brother and the second elder brother, a complete useless person.

Annoyed, Bafujin held Ruyi on the kang table and threw it to the ground vigorously.The fragments splashed, scaring a little girl beside her to make a sound in surprise.

Ba Fujin glanced over, and the little maid nearly lost her wits, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.Because of being so frightened, tears came out, and it was pear blossoms with rain.

Ba Fujin's belly was full of evil fire, and there was nowhere to spread it. The most unbearable thing was the servant girl Humei.

This servant girl was also unlucky, before she was dragged out, her buttocks got wet and she peed on her pants.

Bafujin was feeling unlucky, seeing the urine stains on the ground, his eyes turned black, and he almost lost his breath.The servant girl also changed from forty boards to "beating hard, beating to death and pulling down".

After listening to this narration, the eighth elder brother was stunned. He only felt a chill in his back and his teeth were chattering from the cold.

Bafujin was in tears, seeing her husband coming in, she slowly stopped crying.However, after listening to Nanny Ding's narration, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

She stood up and took two steps forward, ignoring the presence of her mother-in-law and maidservants, she hugged her husband and cried, "Master, when Sheng Jia comes back, I will go to the palace to beg the Queen Mother, and go to the palace to beg the Empress Dowager. Huang Ama is so cruel, what crime did the Lord commit to suffer such grievances..."

Eighth Brother only felt tightness in his chest, his mouth was salty, his throat was hot, and he had already vomited a mouthful of blood.He swallowed hard, stretched out his hand, patted his wife's back comfortingly, and said softly: "It's just a piece of meat, there's nothing to worry about..."

Cao Mansion, Orchid Courtyard, Shang Fang.

Looking at the two pieces of semi-dried venison on the plate, each piece was as big as a palm, and the imperial silk on the side, Cao Yong was also quite curious. He poked it twice, and said: "It's a bit small, right? It's only about two catties. The two little guys, Tianyou and Hang Seng, have a big appetite now."

Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's an imperial gift from Mongolia, how much more can there be? After all, it's the emperor's grace. Just these two pieces, there are countless people who can get them. God bless them If you want to eat venison, there is still in the kitchen, and these two pieces of venison are not the only ones at home."

Chu Yu was beside her, also echoing what her mother-in-law said.

On Li's side, someone has already asked someone to set up an incense table in the middle hall, ordering that this piece of meat should be offered, and that the whole family can enjoy it and feel the grace of the gods during the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet.

It's not that she has shallow eyelids, has never seen venison, and holds it as a precious thing; it's because of the rules, she must always be more solemn in order to appear respectful.

When the decree guards came, Cao Yong was still in the yamen, got the news, and hurried back to receive the decree.

Seeing that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cao Yong thought there would be any rewards, but seeing that the imperial envoy had read the imperial decree for a long time, he did not mention any rewards.

Finally, at last, the guard sent someone to bring the tray over.

It is covered with yellow silk, which is a gift from the imperial court. Cao Yong must kowtow to thank him.

Unexpectedly, only two and a half pieces of dried venison were given.

A few years ago, when he was a follower, he also saw Kangxi giving venison to the governor. Cao Yong thought it was ridiculous at that time.

Even the emperor must operate.

Xia Zhi's fan and Xingwei's venison are not valuable items.However, those governors who have received gifts are afraid that they will be grateful, and in the letter of thanks, they must express their loyalty more and more.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong remembered his errands. This thank you post must be delivered to the guards who passed the decree and brought to the imperial court, and there should be no delay.

Therefore, he stood up and said to Mrs. Li: "Mother, son, go back to the study first. Looking at the venison just now, it makes people greedy. Tell the kitchen to cook two venison dishes at night. It's getting colder. Mother has two cups."

Mrs. Li responded with a smile, and said: "It's rare that there is something you want to eat, so I'll make people prepare to go."

Cao Yong nodded, explained something to Chu Yu, and left the Orchid Courtyard to go to the study.Before going out the second door, I saw a servant girl coming in with the mother-in-law.

Seeing Cao Yong, those maidservants hurriedly stopped and bowed down to greet Cao Yong.

Cao Yong was thinking in his mind whether Xie En's book should be written by himself, or whether he should ask Jiang Jian to read it, waved his hands and ordered everyone to get up, and then moved out of the second door.

On Mrs. Li's side, she was just about to discuss with her daughter-in-law whether to cook venison with scallions or stewed venison with ginseng, how to eat it, when someone reported from the corridor: "Ma'am, Miss Hongmei from Dongfu is here... "

When Mrs. Li heard the words, the smile on her face was reduced, and she said, "Come in."

When Chu Yu saw the people coming from Dongfu, she thought of the unresolved Cao Xiang's marriage, so she followed suit.I'm really scared, I don't know what the second wife is going to make.

Although her son proposed a method earlier, the husband and wife thought it was feasible, but in the end, considering that the fourth sister and fifth son hadn't left the cabinet yet, they were afraid that their reputation would be damaged, and the gains outweighed the losses, so they finally felt that it was inappropriate.

On Cao Yong's side, he has already thought about whether to add fuel to the flames, and use Yaerjiang's hand to teach Yongquan some lessons, so that he will not dare to plot against anyone.

On Cao Song's side, although Zhao Jia's family could not be prevented from retiring, it also forced Zhao Jia's family to agree to suspend the decision.

The Zhaojia family thought that Chunhua Gege was still young, even if he made a big decision, it would take a few years before Cao Xiang's term of office expired before they could get married.Besides, after making a big decision, even if you have a formal engagement, in the next four seasons and three festivals, you have to give gifts to the woman according to the rules, which is also a big waste of money.

Therefore, she took a step back and told someone to go to the general's mansion, and she was not in a hurry to let it go.

On Cao Yong's side, it was only a tactic to slow down the troops, thinking about waiting for his father to come back and make the decision.

"What, Yun Gege is gone?" Li Shi and Chu Yu were shocked when they heard this.

Hongmei bent down and replied: "Yes. Just now the general's mansion sent someone to pass the message. Our wife also had no idea, and didn't know how to go to the funeral, so I sent the slaves over to ask the eldest wife and the eldest grandma to discuss..."
