Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 712

Cao Mansion, in front, guest courtyard.

Jiang Jian stood on the porch, looking up at the snow falling all over the sky.The snow was not small, and in less than an hour, the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of white.

The good snow at the end is like pear blossoms dancing wildly, one after another.

Entering October, in less than half a month now, there have been three or four heavy snowfalls in the capital.These snowfalls can also nourish the dry land of Gyeonggi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jian felt a lot better when he saw the snow flying all over the sky.If it wasn't for the day when the proprietor Cao Yong rested and took a bath, he wondered whether he should go to Xishan to enjoy the snow and listen to Zen.

At this time, I saw a person coming in from the gate of the courtyard braved the heavy snow.

"Feilin, is this snow appreciation? I'm so excited." The visitor said with a smile, which one is it not Li Wei?
When Jiang Jian saw him, he was a little strange, and said: "Didn't You Jie say that he was going to 'visit friends' and return tomorrow?"

When Li Wei heard this, his expression froze, and then he smiled and said, "I didn't visit, but I came back."

He didn't wear a snow-proof coir raincoat, but only a royal blue cotton robe. A lot of snow had fallen on his hat and clothes.

While speaking, Li Wei had already walked to the porch, cleaned his hat and the snow off his body, and kicked his feet vigorously before returning to the room with Jiang Jian.

In addition to the kang burning in the house, there was also a charcoal basin in the middle of the ground, and the fire was booming.

Li Wei rubbed his hands, glanced at Jiang Jian, and said, "Fei Lin, it's snowing day, it's the day of drinking, how about having a drink with me?"

Li Wei has always been straightforward, but now he looks a little wrong, as if he has something on his mind.When Jiang Jian saw it, he also felt strange, and nodded: "It's almost time for dinner, so you can drink as much as you want. It can keep you warm even in cold weather."

Li Wei smiled when he heard this, and looked at the fire in the charcoal basin, a little dazed.

Jiang Jianjian couldn't bear it anymore, and approached him and asked: "Is there something on your mind? Could it be that it's a letter from my hometown, and the money donated to the official doesn't come together?
When he came out of the yamen today, Li Wei said he was "visiting friends", but in fact he went to the Flower Street and Willow Lane in Qianmen to find a woman to loosen his belt.

According to what he said, he is a masculine man, if he doesn't touch a woman's body for ten and a half months, his blood will flow backwards.But his wives and concubines are all in his hometown, and there has never been a concubine in the capital.Whenever he wanted to be "relaxed", he would go to the brothel with money in his pocket to be the "groom".

Although he has the reputation of being a supervisor, but in such a huge capital, who would care about him, a little shrimp.

Jiang Jian watched him spend his days and nights like this, and once advised him to buy two innocent girls as maidservants and concubines, which was better than going outside to save worry and money.

What Li Wei meant was that the girls in the kiln would serve people.The space between the beds can make people comfortable, so I love this one.

It's just that he is righteous, not a deserted person.In order to avoid falling in love with each other for a long time and being trapped in the gentle village, he went to brothels to whore girls, and he never came back as a customer.

No matter how beautiful the girl is or how skillful the means are, he will change it once.

It's like living among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf touches the body, and it's very free and easy.

Cao Yong also knew about Li Wei's love of whoring, but he couldn't say much.In the early days, the Wei Hei brothers were frequent visitors to brothels before they got married.

This man in his prime doesn't have a woman by his side, so he can't be asked to be a saint.

It was Chuyu, who knew that her husband valued Li Wei and Jiang Jian, and even asked if she should choose two suitable maids from the mansion and give them two as concubines.

Cao Yong pondered over and over again, but gave it no.

According to historical development, Li Wei will be a governor in the future.Now in the Cao family, he can only be regarded as learning from Jiang Jian, and has no master-servant relationship with the Cao family.

If she takes a maid from the Cao family as a concubine, it will inevitably bear the mark of the Cao family.For the suspicious fourth elder brother, it may not be a good thing for Li Wei or Cao Yong.

So things fell flat.

Ever since he knew that the court was going to donate officials, Li Wei went to brothels more frequently.In his words, if you wear the official skin, you really can't go there.But in Sijiu City, beauties from the north, beauties from the south, and those who are thin and fat, even if you can't taste them all, you should see more of the world.

I often walk by the river, how can I not wet my shoes?
After shopping for two years, it was finally Li Wei's turn to regret this day.

He blushed and whispered his difficulties to Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, he really didn't expect to come to this point.

"Which family did you get the infection? How could this happen, and what should I do?" Hearing the end, Jiang Jian was already a bit worried.

"Who knew?" Li Wei said with a wry smile, "It's ridiculous that I was bragging with others a few days ago, and a few more prostitutes can make up a hundred dollars."

This is not the time to talk about him.Jiang Jian sighed, and said: "There is no delay in this. It's better to find a good doctor and cure the disease first."

"At this point, it can only be like this. It's the end of the retribution. Now that I think about it, I really don't know if I have prostituted the whore in the past few years, or if the prostitute has prostituted me Li Wei?" Li Wei nodded and said sullenly .

Seeing him so depressed, Jiang Jian was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, and said: "Don't worry too much, it's not a disease that can't be cured. As long as you find a decent doctor and use some good medicine, it can be cured."

"Feilin, I feel so ashamed and panicked. What is this? If someone finds out, I'll just hang myself with a belt." Li Wei said in a dazed tone.

"This disease can't be cured in a day or two. How can I hide it?" Jiang Jian was a little puzzled: "You have to ask a doctor, prescribe prescriptions, and make medicine. Unless you don't live in the mansion, how can you hide it..."

Li Wei raised his head and said, "That's what I'm talking about. I'm afraid I'll have to find a reason to go out to raise him for two months. I'll go to Nancheng tomorrow and rent a clean yard. My lord... I really don't have the face to follow." He talked. He had pointed at me twice before, telling me to cherish my body and not make trouble. I was still bragging about my chest. I could only lie, saying that something happened at home and I went back to Xuzhou."

This is really not a decent disease, and Jiang Jian can understand Li Wei's concealment.

He hesitated for a while, and said: "Since you have thought about it, let's do it this way. But don't hold on, if you need help, you must ask, otherwise how can I feel relieved..."

*
Jinyu Alley, outside Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

Although it was only the beginning of the unitary hour (five o'clock in the afternoon), the sky was already dark due to the early setting of the sun in winter and the cloudy sky.Outside the gate of Elder Brother's Mansion, lanterns have already been hung.

Brother Thirteen personally sent Cao Yong to the gate, dismissed all the people in front of him, hesitated for a while, and said: "Cao Yong, did I make things difficult for you?"

Cao Yong nodded, and said very sincerely: "Thirteenth Lord, you know me, and you are most afraid of trouble. I really don't want to get involved in these things, and I wish I could stay away. Thirteenth Lord, just Don’t you want to think of other ways? If you have few nieces, how about cousins? There are also several palaces in the palace, and they will marry in Beijing.”

"Cao Yong, the eighth sister-in-law and the ninth brother have both come forward to beg people. If you don't agree, you will offend people to death. Have you thought about this? Although I didn't promise anything in front of the ninth brother, but I still hope that you have complied with this matter. You have always been kind-hearted, so you have come here without avoiding suspicion these years. In this world, there have always been more icing on the cake than giving charcoal in the snow. Mynah is going to be desolate. If you can Help me out, Huang Ama won't blame you in my heart." Elder Thirteen said earnestly.

In Cao Yong's heart, there were concerns, but it was not Emperor Kangxi.

Doing things for his son, if he still blames, then he is not a human being.

What Cao Yong was afraid of was the fourth elder brother.If he got involved with the ninth elder brother because of this and caused the fourth elder brother to be suspicious, then he was not full.

Although it is not unreasonable to know what the thirteenth brother said, but Cao Yong still does not want to make extra troubles.

Seeing that he still wanted to refuse, Brother Thirteen was afraid of saying something to death, and said: "Cao Yong, don't shake your head in a hurry. Go back and discuss with your father, what should you see? There is also Da Gege. After all, Brother-in-law is her real uncle. Even if sister-in-law does not speak up, as a niece, she should do her best."

Cao Yong looked at the thirteenth brother, and really didn't know what to say.

In the 47th year of Kangxi, what happened on the grassland has become a historical mystery, but Cao Yong has also heard a few words about it.

Although there is the recklessness of the thirteenth elder brother, but there are other elder brothers behind the scenes.

Brother Thirteen has been silent for many years, but now he can't bear it. Do you still want to talk about brotherly love?

Seeing Cao Yong's embarrassment, Brother Thirteen couldn't help but feel ashamed for a while, feeling that he seemed to have overdone it.

Seeing the miserable end of the eighth elder brother and the deserted aftermath, it is inevitable that the thirteenth elder brother feels hurt by something.The previous entanglement of grievances seemed to have disappeared.

However, for my own sake, it is unreasonable to force Cao Yong and his wife to come forward to burn Qiqi.

Thinking of this, Elder Thirteen just felt dull, and said to Cao Yong: "Tomorrow, I will take Fujin and the children to Wenquan Zhuangzi. It's very cold in Beijing, so go to Maodong over there. Maybe it's myna's funeral. I will come back when the time comes. As for the "burning of May [-]th" matter, Cao Yong, you can figure it out. If you are really reluctant, you don't have to force it. Just remember to find a proper excuse and don't fall in front of others Tongue."

Cao Yong couldn't say anything more, so he had to say goodbye and go back to the house.

The thirteenth elder brother didn't go back to the house right away, he looked at Cao Yong's figure disappearing in the faint night, he let out a long breath, and murmured: "It seems that I really have to go, if I stay, I won't be a human... "

Everyone has selfishness, the thirteenth elder brother wants Cao Yong to go to the eighth elder brother's mansion to "burn Qi" for his own selfishness, I'm afraid he himself can't figure it out...

*
Cao Yong rode on the horse and let the snowflakes fall on his face, only to feel that his mind was clearer.

Speaking of it, he is usually the last person to refuse others; as long as others open their mouths, it is not too embarrassing, he will probably respond.But yesterday and today, he rejected both of them without hesitation.

Cao Yong is a coward, which he himself never denied.

The death of the eighth elder brother had already shocked him, and he really didn't want to involve himself in it.

The thirteenth elder brother returned the land deed, house deed, and human deed of Taihu Zhuchang, which made Cao Yong a little surprised.But because the thirteenth elder brother said it bluntly, Cao Yong had to accept it, otherwise, I am afraid that the thirteenth elder brother will lose face.

As the night was getting darker, he couldn't let the horse gallop, so he could only let the horse rein in and walk around. It took less than half an hour before Cao Yong returned to the mansion.

Although it was time for dinner to come out from Elder Thirteen, Elder Thirteen did not stay with Cao Yong because he was not good at drinking in Xiaozhong.After speaking, send him out.

Therefore, Cao Yong is now too hungry.

After going to Lanyuan to please his parents, Cao Yong hurried back to Wutongyuan.

Just after entering the yard, I heard laughter from the upper room, which was very lively.Cao Yong picked up the curtain and went in, and the little maid saw it, bent over and saluted.

Chu Yu had already heard the movement in the room and came out to welcome her.

The room was warm, and Cao Yong's heart also warmed up a lot. He said with a smile: "It's so lively, what do you mean?"

Beside the Kang, there are two Tianyou and Hengsheng, talking to Tianhui.Seeing their father came back, the two little guys straightened up, greeted him politely, and then ran to him, full of intimacy.

Amethyst was sitting on the stool, and when she saw Cao Yong coming in, she had stood up with a smile on her face.

"My wife has agreed to go to the hot spring, and sister Zijing and I are discussing when to leave." Chu Yu wiped off the snow on her husband's body with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Young ones, I heard that we are going to leave. The government is so happy that they are going to roll."

Children are always yearning for the outside world.

Hearing Chuyu's words, Tianyou pursed his lips and smiled. Hang Seng was anxious and couldn't help it anymore. He hugged Cao Yong's thigh, raised his head and asked, "Father, father, are there any fish in the hot spring? Are there any big fish?" Is it?"

In a word, several adults laughed along.

Cao Yong patted Hang Seng's head, curious, and asked: "Didn't Hang Seng not like fish? Why do you still care about this?"

"My younger sister loves to eat fish. It would be great if there is a big fish, so I can give my younger sister fish eyes." Hang Seng replied crisply.

Speaking of Tianhui's eye disease, Cao Yong suspected that it was caused by blood relationship, so he didn't give any hope for his daughter's recovery; but Chuyu always had a glimmer of hope, hoping that God would open his eyes.

Because she was thinking about what to eat to make up for herself, Tianhui often fed sheep's eyeballs and fisheyeballs when she was young.Although Hang Seng is young, he doesn't know how to remember this, so he asked.

"There are no fish in the hot spring, but there is a river over there, and when the time comes, it will be broken open to make people fish." Cao Yong replied with a smile.

"Oh, oh, that's great." Hang Seng clapped his little hands, very happy.Tianyou was beside him, also grinning.Tianhui, on the other hand, had listened with her ears up, but now she looked a little embarrassed and lowered her head to play with the puppet in her hand.

After a while, Cao Yong finished changing clothes, and Xicai also led people to set the dinner table.

Cao Yong asked Zijing to eat, Zijing had eaten, and seeing that it was getting late, he took Tianyou and Hengsheng back to Kuiyuan first.

Tianhui's children were afraid of starvation, so they had dinner with their grandfather and grandmother in Lanyuan.

Chu Yu filled half a bowl of rice for herself and ate it with her husband.

*
Cao Yong asked Dong Dianbang to do it for him because he was afraid of encountering Ba Fujin and talking about burning Qi and the errands in Ba Age's mansion, but he avoided it by himself and did not go there again.

Although he has already made up his mind not to get involved in the affairs over there, but for some reason, Cao Yong is always quite uneasy in his heart...

The second watch will be after midnight, everyone can watch it tomorrow morning, (*^__^*)...
