Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 713

In the past few days, Cao Yong was worrying about the funeral of the eighth elder brother, but he really didn't notice Li Wei's strangeness.Seeing that he was preoccupied, Cao Yong thought he was worried about his hometown, so he asked Chuyu to prepare some tonics, and took his own name card for him to carry with him.

In this case, if you are in a hurry, you can change horses at the stations along the way.

After everything was packed, Cao Yong sent Li Wei on the road.

How did Li Wei make his fortune in history?If something happened to Li Wei's parents and they needed to keep their filial piety, they would come out three years later.

When did the fourth elder brother "encounter" with his model governor?
Cao Yong found that his brain was not enough recently.Do you believe in the history you know, or do you not believe it?

Now, he put all his bets on the fourth elder brother. If there is a major discrepancy in history, it will not be a joke.

The development of things is not always what one wants, and many times it is not under Cao Yong's control.

Taijichang Street, Ba Age Mansion.

Like the gardens in Haidian, the gates here are all covered with white paper, and inside and outside the mourning hall, Fan, Zen, Taoist, nuns, and lay Buddhists are still chanting scriptures.It will be a full month since the eighth prince passed away, and the funeral here is not as busy as it was at first, and everything is in order.

In the inner hall, Ba Fujin was dressed in filial piety, with a square of bones placed on his head, and no other jewelry.She has a single braid on the left side, and the braid is not tied with a braid, but only wrapped around her hair.

According to the custom of Manchuria, after the death of the husband, the wife has to wear heavy filial piety, remove her hair and put her double braids on.On the third day, the natal family will put on the braid, and put it down the next day, that is, only the single braid on the left.

Chu Yu was dragged to the edge of the kang to sit down, a little cautious.

Two days ago, Cao Yong had told about Ba Fujin wanting her to "burn Qi".Speaking of which, Chu Yu's feelings for her eighth uncle and eighth aunt are a bit contradictory. Let's talk about kissing, it is true that she is closer than other uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts, but because of the bad relationship between her biological mother and Bafujin, she doesn't like her. It hurt the heart of the biological mother, so I took the initiative to get close.

The eighth elder brother and the eighth Fujin got married after the eighth elder brother was granted Baylor in the 37th year of Kangxi.There was also Seventh Brother who held weddings on the same day as them, and Seventh Brother also married Qi Fujin after being knighted.

At that time, the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother were not separated, and they lived next to each other in the elder brother's house.

At that time, the seventh elder brother had already given birth to a pair of sons and daughters on the same side as Fujin Nala, and his affection was strong, but he was flat to the newly married Qifu Jin.Except for staying here for a few nights when they first got married, they are still in the side Fujin's room at other times.

Chu Yu was already three years old at that time, a rare age for recruiting people, not only the apple of the eye of the seventh elder brother.Even the newly married Eighth Prince and Eighth Fujin really love this eldest niece.

Ba Fujin is the first wife, seeing that the seventh elder brother favors the side Fujin, he naturally feels wronged for the Qi Fujin, pinching his eyes and looking down on the side Fujin.He used his identity to show Qifang Fujin several times.

It was Seven Fujin who offered to educate Chuyu, and it was also Ba Fujin's idea.In her opinion, this is the best of both worlds, it not only gives Qi Fujin more opportunities to get close to Seventh Elder Brother, but also allows Chuyu to follow her aunt and receive better treatment.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. Knowing that the mother and daughter are separated by the eight Fujins, Fujin is bound to be resentful, and complains several times beside her husband.

On the side of Eight Fujin, he also didn't want Eighth Brother to get too close to Seventh Brother, for fear of following his example of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife.

They come and go, and under the influence of women, the relationship between the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother is also much estranged.

Two years later, the elder brothers divided the mansions, and the relationship between the seventh elder brother's mansion and the eighth elder brother's mansion was very delicate.Although the Seventh Fujin and the Eighth Fujin are close, the two prefectures rarely communicate with each other.As Seventh Fujin's adopted daughter, Chuyu is one of the exceptions, and often follows Seventh Fujin to visit Ba Age's mansion.

Ba Fujin has been married for many years and has never been pregnant. She is also really close to this niece.Every time Chuyu went to Ba Age's Mansion, she always returned with a full load, including clothes, jewelry, gadgets, everything.

Thinking of the past, Chu Yu couldn't help feeling soft when he looked at the emaciated Bafujin, and said softly, "Eighth Aunt should also take care of herself, after all, there are still many things that Eighth Aunt needs to take care of. If Eighth Aunt gets tired ,then what should we do?"

Ba Fujin really gritted his teeth these days, Ba Ge hadn't slept for a few days, and he couldn't sleep for a few days, with gold in his arms, thinking that if he couldn't make it through, he would just settle it and save his husband from being lonely.

Unexpectedly, there was another matter of moving spirits.

Bafujin had resentment and a little vitality.She told herself that she must not let her husband become a joke of others, and do not talk about the dignified affairs of the funeral.Eldest brother, she will also do her best to bring up an adult, she always wants someone in this world, and she still remembers having a husband.Otherwise, if I went lightly by myself, the whole elder brother's mansion would collapse.

Gritting his teeth and enduring these days, after hearing Chu Yu's heart-warming words, Ba Fujin couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Chu Yu's arm, and burst into tears.

The cries were full of despair, and it was heartbreaking to hear.

After hearing this, Chu Yu couldn't take it anymore, her eyes turned red, she suppressed her tears, and spoke to comfort her.

How could Bafujin listen to persuasion, she cried for a quarter of an hour before slowly calming down, sobbing and stopping her tears.

"It's because my niece can't speak, which makes my aunt sad." Seeing Ba Fujin like this, Chu Yu felt a little guilty.

Ba Fujin wiped his tears, shook his head, and said: "Thank you, Da Gege, I haven't shed tears for half a month, and I thought I would become a wooden man in the future. Although I won't shed tears, I feel really uncomfortable in my heart and feel out of breath." I'm out of breath, I'm going to die. After crying this hard, I feel much refreshed."

The maid served hot water, and Chu Yu helped Ba Fujin wash his face.

Seeing the wrinkles at the corners of Fujin's eyes, Chu Yu thought of the Fujin who used to wear bright red clothes and behave in a hurry, and felt quite sad.

Bafujin tidied up, pulled Chuyu to sit down again, and said, "Look at me, I almost missed the point by talking about this. I specially sent someone to pick you up today, just to close the matter of burning May [-]th for a few days." A few days ago, I told your ama, your ama said that it depends on what your daughter and son-in-law mean. I have been waiting for a reply for a few days, but nothing happened. I can’t even see anyone. I really have no choice but to pick you up. Seeing what Cao Erfu means, he doesn’t want you to come over to ‘Shaoqi’. Auntie wants to ask, Da Gege, what do you think? If so You don't want to come either, that aunt will never brazenly force you."

There are some things that should be well known, and cannot be said on the table.

Biansheng Bafujin is a straightforward person, so he didn't take that into account, so he just said so straight to the point.

Chu Yu is a junior, but it is difficult to admit it. Doesn't this prove that her husband is deserted?She had no choice but to bluntly say: "Aunt Eight misunderstood, these two months are the busiest time in the yamen. The forehead is busy with errands in the yamen, and I come home very late every day."

Ba Fujin held Chuyu's hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, "No matter what he is, Mr. Cao, Auntie wants to hear the truth from you."

"Auntie, my niece has left the court after all, she is not as self-contained as she was in the palace. There are still a few more days, don't worry, auntie, I will discuss it with my son-in-law when my niece returns today." Chu Yu even replied honestly.

Although he didn't nod immediately, but looking at the meaning, he seemed to agree.

On Bafujin's side, he could only comfort himself and send Chuyu back...

Inside the Forbidden City, the main hall of the House of Internal Affairs.

Yi Duli was wearing patched clothes, looking serious, but he was talking about anecdotes outside.

Although he usually has a bit of a tongue, but in the end he is the son of everyone and has his own education.In the jokes outside, if the Cao family was involved, he would have heard it, but he closed his mouth afterwards and didn't mention a word
Cao Yong listened to Yiduli's gossip, and his eyes fell on the half dozen official documents on the copybook.I have been busy for the past few days in one breath, and all the errands to be taken care of have been resolved. How should I deal with the Eighth Prince's Mansion for the rest of the day.

Today, the hottest gossip in the capital is not the mystery of Mrs. Li's life experience bestowed by the Empress Dowager Ruyi, but the critical illness of the Minister of Guards and first-class public servant Ling'a.

The story of Ah Ling'a spitting blood at the gate of Ba Age's garden has already spread throughout the government and the public.

There have been rumors that Eighth Prince and Ling'a are "a match between the emperor and his ministers", so Eighth Prince felt lonely underground, so he reported to Lord Yama and arrested Ling'ah.

This theory of gods and ghosts has always been unreasonable.

In the six yamen, some people have already started to gamble, just to see if grandpa can survive two months.If you can't survive, the odds are the lowest; it's [-]:[-]; if you survive, the odds are higher, [-]:[-].

While listening to Yi Duli's nagging, Cao Yong remembered Nalan Fusen's outburst in his mind.

The middle figure of the Baye Party, Ma Qi has changed camps and has become the emperor's confidant again; A Ling is in danger, and Kui Xu has also lost his sacred heart...

It is people looking at the scenery, sometimes it is not the scenery looking at people.

After finishing the errands in the household department, it was already dark, and the fourth elder brother returned to Prince Yong's mansion with a little exhaustion.

When I heard that the Eighth Fortune Jin sent people to pick up Chuyu to go to the house today, the fourth elder brother couldn't help frowning.He hesitated for a moment, and asked Dai Jin, "What's going on with the Cao family?"

"It's still business as usual. Seeing what Cao Erfu is doing, it seems that he doesn't want to have anything to do with that side. But the two staff members of his family have been acting strangely lately." Dai Jin bowed and replied.

Hearing this, it actually aroused the fourth elder brother's curiosity.

"Staff? What kind of people, compared with the previous Zhuang Xi, how are these two?" While speaking, his eyes lit up a little.

Speaking of which, he is really short of manpower here.

Even if it's not good to recruit people with great fanfare now, it's good to know where there are talented people.

"These two are impressive to the slaves. I don't know if Concubine Cao knows?" Dai Jin took out a folded paper from his sleeve and handed it to the fourth elder brother with both hands.

The fourth elder brother took it, opened it, looked a little weird, and read along: "Li Wei..."

Cao's house, Wutong Garden.

"Forehead son-in-law, what should we do?" Chu Yu said with a bit of hesitation after telling her husband about seeing the eight Fujins during the day.

Cao Yong frowned slightly, thought hard for a while, then slowly stretched his brows, nodded and said: "Since all the questions are on your head, then answer it..."
