Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 697 Betting ([-]) (seeking a guaranteed monthly pass)
Fang's Hutong, the outer residence of Prince Jian's Mansion.

Looking at the baby in the swaddle, Han Jiangshi stretched out his hand and touched her little hand, with a bit of surprise on his face, he said: "Sister, little Gege grows up really fast. His face is much fairer, and his eyes are full of bone. Staring at people, as if you can understand what adults say."

Yang Zimo felt uncomfortable being confined in the house, and he felt better after adding Qige these days, and he also cherished this adopted daughter very much.

Hui'er leaned beside Han Jiangshi, and also looked at the infant baby.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yaerjiang went out to feast during the day, and went back to the palace to have a reunion dinner with his wife and children at night.Yang Zimo was lonely and bored here, so he told Yaerjiang A, and picked up Han Jiang's mother and daughter to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

After hearing Han Jiang's words, Yang Zimo's heart moved, and he ordered the servant girl to take Hui Huier out.

Han Jiangshi didn't notice Yang Zimo's strangeness, he was engrossed in teasing the baby in front of him.

"Is it that rare?" Yang Zimo asked with a smile when he saw this.

Han Jiangshi nodded and said: "Sister, it's strange to say that I hated children the most. When I heard children crying, I felt that it was too noisy. Now I look at the appearance of these small arms and legs, and I like it from the bottom of my heart. At this point, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Sister, Hui'er's hair was combed by my sister. It's the first time I've learned this when I grow up so old."

While speaking, her eyes were bright, she couldn't be said to be in high spirits, but she was a little less cold and more gentle than usual.

Yang Zimo heard this, and said: "As a woman, when you reach the age, you should marry and have children. Although you haven't thought of this in your heart, your body is ready to be a mother, so you will see the children." Can't move."

Han Jiangshi lost her mother since she was a child, and has an older sister who was separated when she was young. Has anyone ever told her about this?
After hearing Yang Zimo's words, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the same for my sister?"

Yang Zimo couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, he smiled and nodded after a while, and said: "Yes, that's why the prince brought Qi Gege to me to raise him."

"My sister has Hui'er too..." Han Jiangshi said softly, and his eyes fell on Qi Gege again.

Yang Zimo pondered for a moment, and asked, "Sister...Sister really doesn't want to take another step?"

Han Jiangshi turned around, seeing Yang Zimo's solemnity, couldn't help laughing, and said: "About this, my sister asked me how my sister has been. Of course it is true. I am blessed, my mother left early, and my sister was not there when I was young." Together, Daddy is always used to me. Even if we talk about marriage later, it’s still a recruit. He is the master of his own life, and he has never been affected by others. You are so good, why do you want to rely on others?"

"Why don't you recruit another wife?" Yang Zimo asked unwillingly.

"No." Han Jiangshi shook his head without even thinking about it, and said, "If it's a worthless man, he's not worthy of being my husband; if it's a promising man, who would be willing to be my son-in-law? Even if someone is willing to marry me, It's just for my money and I just want to eat rice. Who would look down on such a man? He has food and clothes, has Hui'er by his side, and his sister is in Beijing. Life is very good, there is no need to find that man for himself uneasy."

Although the two are of different surnames, they have a close relationship.In Han Jiang's heart, she also really treated Yang Zimo as her own sister, so when she spoke, she showed her heart without any embellishment.

Having said that, Yang Zimo is still worried when he thinks that Han Jiang's family will grow up every year and die alone.

"Sister, otherwise, I'll ask the lord to find a suitable family for you. With the lord and I as your backer, you can just be the grandma who is in charge, who would dare to lose you?" Yang Zimo said.

Hearing this, Han Jiangshi quickly waved his hands and said, "Sister, please forgive my sister. I don't care about a son-in-law. You want me to go to other people's houses to set rules, and I can't serve Wenggu? The current life is leisurely and comfortable, which is just right for me. Heart, isn't it better than wronging yourself?"

"Even if you don't want a husband, my sister will have a child. It's not good. In this world, I'm alone, and I don't even have a person to go to the grave after death. Add my own flesh and blood, become a parent, and have a child in the second half of my life." Run away." Yang Zimo said.

After hearing this, Han Jiangshi showed a bit of confusion on his face, and murmured: "Sister, sister has Hui'er..."

Yang Zimo shook his head, and said, "It's not the same, that's different. Although Hui is well-behaved, but after all, she has already remembered things, and she will look at people's faces. Besides, she is still a girl, and she will always marry after a few years of raising her." Speaking of this, Glancing at the infant Qi Gege, he said: "These days, I often think about how wonderful it would be if Qi Gege was my own flesh and blood."

Seeing the loneliness on "her" face, Han Jiang couldn't bear it, so he comforted her, saying: "Sister is still young, there will always be."

Yang Zimo smiled and said: "Why is it on me again? Just say sister, if you cut off the incense, not only the younger sister will have a miserable evening, but even the uncles and aunts who have passed away will have no one to offer incense, which is really against filial piety."

Han Jiangshi bit her lip and said, "Do you have to take in a stepson? Hui'er..."

"A girl, even if she inherits the wealth of Wanguan, how can she keep it? My sister has been suffering all these years, and she wants Hui'er to follow her sister's old path?" Yang Zimo asked rhetorically.

Everything he said made sense, and Han Jiang could not refute it.

But thinking about the Han family or the Jiang family, even the mother family, the Cheng family, the Han Jiang family didn't want to have anything to do with it.

She couldn't help laughing at herself, could it be that she was too independent, which made the six relatives unreliable.

Yang Zimo was born as an actor, and grew up in the palace when he was a child. He only listened to stories in operas, and he didn't pay much attention to his daughter's chastity.

He thought for a while and said, "Sister, don't worry about it. It's not easy for a woman to have a baby. Just find a man to 'borrow' the seed."

Although the Han Jiang family was born as a merchant, they were brought up with various rules and regulations. Where did they hear this?

Hearing that she was blushing and unable to speak, she stroked her chest after a while, and said coquettishly, "Sister... this... this..."

"You want to say that this is against the rules, don't you? The harmony of yin and yang is the way of heaven and earth. These rules and regulations are all added by later generations." Yang Zimo saw that she rarely showed her daughter-in-law, and got up and took out a sandalwood from Baibaoge. The wooden box was delivered to Han Jiangshi, and he said, "You are old enough to know something. Go back and read these things. Think carefully about what I said."

Speaking of this, he sighed, and said: "I persuaded my sister to do this because I have selfish intentions. In this world, I have no blood relatives. Apart from the prince, the only one who is close to me is my sister. Qi Gege is a noble daughter of the palace. Here, I am not in charge of the future. If my sister can have a son, she will be my nephew. Even if I die, there will be someone who will offer incense."

Thinking of her usual loneliness, Han Jiang's heart was not without ripples after hearing Yang Zimo's words.

She turned her head, looked at the baby in the swaddle, stretched out her hand, and touched her flat belly...

Down the corridor, Yaerjiang's face was cloudy and cloudy, he paused for a while, then turned and left...

When the moon is in the middle of the sky, the Cao family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is held in the upper room of the Lanyuan in Xifu.

In addition to sisters Tian and Lianqiu, everyone in Dongfu has also arrived.There are two tables in the back room, one on the kang, besides Li and Zhaojia, are the fourth sister, Wu'er, Tianhui and Niuniu.

At the table in the ground, apart from Chuyu and Jinghui, there are sisters Tian, ​​Lianqiu and Zijing.

Although for Amethyst's slave and servant, sitting at the same table with the master, Zhao Jia's eyes are very annoying.But because the family has been separated, and it is not a day or two to treat Zijing preferentially here, so Zhao Jia rolled his eyes and didn't say any more.

At the table outside, Cao Yong took Cao Song brothers, plus Tianyou, Hang Seng, Zuo Cheng, and Zuo Zhu.

Those like Jiang Jian and Qian Chenqun, who had no family members in the house, also sent people to the front.Li Wei was summoned by his clan to have a banquet.

Mid-Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, is almost the same every year.

It's just that a large plate was added in the middle of the table this year, which contained braised venison.This is the imperial gift that was sent back to Beijing all the way.

The female relatives in the room were silent, but Cao Song felt a little suffocated outside.While picking up some pieces of venison for his nephews, he said to Cao Yong: "Brother, it's been cold these past two days, and the sky is overcast. It doesn't look like it's going to rain, but it looks like it's going to snow. I don't know." How about outside the pass? Uncle, if he is still in Mongolia and doesn’t return to Rehe, he will suffer.”

Hearing this, Cao Yong glanced out of the window, thinking of his father who was away from home and spending the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, he also felt a little bit worried...

*
Kleulia Sutai, the holy driver is here.

Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kangxi gave a banquet, and there were the Mongolian princes who came to the court, as well as the princes Baylor, the great scholars, the ministers, the servants and others.

The third elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother, as the princes, each had their own responsibilities, assisting the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Li Fan Yuan to organize this banquet well.

The end is full of flowers, and there is a sound of praise.

It's just a superficial article, and there are a few of them who really eat and drink.

Back and forth, but they also feasted for more than half an hour.

It wasn't until Elder Sixteen looked at Kangxi that he was tired and went up to ask for the will, and then he asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to sing the salute, which was nothing more than a banquet.

If it were someone else, even if they were pretending, they would still be able to eat one or two bites.Brother Sixteen is on an errand here, and needs a lot of care. Apart from drinking two cups of wine with a few acquainted Mongolian princes, he hasn't eaten anything else.

The princes and ministers here all returned to their tents, and Brother Sixteen was free.

At this time, Zhao Feng brought the coir raincoat, and Brother Sixteen knew it was snowing.

I saw snow falling all over the sky, and there was a mist between the sky and the earth.

The cold wind was biting, Brother Sixteen couldn't help shivering.In just a few hours, it's like autumn and winter, and the seasons change.

Elder brother Sixteen is hungry and cold, and his mind is full of food.As he walked towards his tent, he told Zhao Feng, "Go to the dining room and ask for a pot. It doesn't matter whether it's white meat pot or old duck soup, just pick the hot one and order it."

Zhao Feng bowed in response, handed the umbrella in his hand to a young eunuch accompanying him, told him to wait carefully, and then turned and went to the dining room.

Brother Sixteen walked forward quickly, thinking that when he returned to the tent, he would make a brazier.Otherwise, no one can bear the cold all of a sudden.

Thinking of this, thinking of the emperor's father and other ministers who also lived in the tent, Elder Sixteen slowed down.

After thinking about it, he changed his course and went to the tent of an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Here, Yi Duli and several officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are there, and they haven't left yet.The sixteenth elder brother told Yi Duli about heating the brazier.

There is a dedicated heater on the other side of Shengjia.Light the fire and send it over to wait.

For other princes and civil and military ministers, there is no need to ask for instructions one by one, and they are sent directly to the tents everywhere.

Although I knew it was cold outside the Great Wall, I didn't expect it to be so cold all of a sudden.Even if there are braziers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the quantity is limited, how can we deliver them to every tent?

Yi Duli explained the difficulty, and asked the sixth elder brother to show it.

"How much can there be?" Brother Sixteen asked.

"It should be less than a hundred, but there are seventy or eighty." Yi Duli asked the subordinate officer next to him to check the brochure, and replied, "It's 73."

The sixteenth elder brother nodded, thought for a while, and ordered: "Mongolian princes, regardless of the rank of the title, each tent will give one. For the other clans, one should be above the king; if the civil and military ministers are above the third rank, Those who are over 60 years old will be sent."

Yi Duli memorized it, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master Sixteen, as well as the harem dignitaries who accompanied him, we have to divide out a dozen or so. In this way, there is still no need to divide."

"Then one or more shellfish from the imperial family, civil and military officials, university scholars, and those over 60 years old will be sent to them. For those who are over the age of [-], it's better not to freeze one or two." Elder Sixteen I ordered, but I still didn't forget to remind: "That's right. Mr. Cao from the Ministry of Rites has always been weak, so don't pull him down there."

Yidu immediately agreed, Elder Sixteen was already hungry, so he hurried to his tent.

Only halfway through, let the third elder brother stop him.

"What is Sixteenth Brother busy with? I and Fifteenth Brother have been waiting for you for a long time." Third Elder Brother said with a smile while holding Sixteenth Elder Brother's arm.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, brother sixteen felt his arms were cold, he glanced at elder brother fifteen standing behind third elder brother, and asked third elder brother with a smile: "Third elder brother has something to do with younger brother? Hungry messenger, also introduce younger brother to go back to feed the two, will the couple be satisfied? After the younger brother sacrifices to the Wu Zang Temple, he will immediately go to the elder brother's servant."

The third elder brother said with a smile, "Are you the only one hungry? The fifteenth brother and I are also hungry. The food and drink have already been served. The sixteenth brother follow me quickly."

The sixteenth brother was pulled by the arm, he had no choice but to follow, and entered the third elder brother's camp.

In the tent, two charcoal basins have been lit to dispel all the chill.

Although there was still a steaming pot of white meat in front of him, but seeing the third elder brother smiling and being attentive, the sixteenth elder brother also lost his appetite.

Watching the two brothers sit down, the third elder brother poured out the cups for the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.

Brother Sixteen sighed inwardly, knowing that tonight's appointment might not be easy to pass.His eyes fell on the jug, he picked up the cup, and toasted the two brothers with a smile.

The wine jug is already in the hands of Elder Sixteen, his stomach is already empty, half of the jug of wine is gone, his tongue is already swollen, his eyes are hazy.

In a daze, I heard Brother Fifteen say: "Don't worry, Third Brother, my younger brother is for Third Brother..."

The latter words are not really heard.Brother Sixteen was anxious, but he couldn't open his eyelids...

The capital, Han Jiang's residence.

In the haze, Han Jiangshi heard a baby cry.She was still surprised, and saw Xiaofu joyfully coming over with her baby in her arms, bent down and said, "Girl, you're a young master..."

Han Jiangshi was still in a daze, and saw a small head protruding from the swaddling baby, looked at her and said with a smile, "Why doesn't mother hold the baby?"

Han Jiangshi was also surprised when he heard the voice, but after seeing his appearance clearly, he couldn't help but make a sound.

Isn't this the head of the Cao family, Sun Tianyou?Tianyou had already stretched out his small arms and hugged Han Jiangshi's neck, and said in a childish voice, "Mother, mother..."

Han Jiang's body was already stiff, and he hurriedly said: "Young master, please be careful with your words, this is against the rules."

"You are my mother..." Tianyou pouted, muttering, while slipping into Han Jiangshi's arms.

Han Jiangshi had no choice but to stretch out his hand to push him away, but in vain.

She was still wondering, but she saw that her stomach was bulging all of a sudden.

After all, Han Jiang's family is a girl's family, so he was terrified, and wanted to call out, but he couldn't.

After a while, someone said in Fang Ting's ear: "Wake up, girl, wake up, girl, I'm afraid this is a nightmare..."

Han Jiangshi opened his eyes, sat up, his body was covered in cold sweat...

*
Fang's Hutong, the outer residence of Prince Jian's Mansion.

I don't know if it's because of drunkenness, but Yaerjiang's spirits are so high that he can't wait to crush Yang Zimo, without any of his usual tenderness.

Although Yang Zimo was in unbearable pain, he knew that Yaerjiang's temper was the most unbearable to be disobeyed by others, so he could only grit his teeth and stand up.

After tossing and tossing for a long while, Yaerjiang Ahcai let out his body.

Calling the servant girl to bring hot water, Yang Zimo got up, cleaned up both of them, and then went back to the kang.

Yaerjiang's arm had already come over, he took Yang Zimo's shoulder from behind, and said in a low voice: "Zimo, do you really want to have your own blood? Otherwise, I will pick two girls for you..."

Although the words were spoken, there was no sign of willingness in them.

Yang Zimo sighed in his heart, knowing that if he wanted to have children in this life, it would be a luxury.

He already had a smile on his face, and said: "The lord heard what I said to my sister? The beauty is easy to grow old, seeing my sister wasting her youth year after year, I really couldn't bear it, so I found this way to persuade her."

"Didn't she say she wouldn't marry?" Yarjana said: "Although the court respects ethics, it is not a crime for a widow to remarry. It is just a few gossips behind others' backs. Even a big scandal can't be covered up."

Hearing this, Yang Zimo smiled lightly and said, "It's just to use this reason to push her, so as to save her day by day. I really have a lonely heart."

Yaerjiang was still wondering what this meant, Yang Zimo had turned around, looked at Yaerjiang, and said with a smile: "Master, how about inviting Cao Yong over for a drink in two days?"

"Ah?" Yaerjiang seemed to have paused, and asked: "So you want to connect the two of them? I'm afraid it will be a waste of time. Who doesn't know that Cao Yong and Da Ge Ge Qin Se are compatible?"

"Even if Cao Yong is willing, my sister's temperament will not let him be a concubine for him. Lord, let me borrow the seed first, and then we will talk about it after giving birth to a child..." Yang Zimo said: "Cao Yong is a stable person, and my sister is his concubine. The outer room is always better than being alone..."
