Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 735 First Level (Please ask for a monthly pass)
After meeting several officials from the household department, Cao Yong returned to the official office and ordered Feng Che and He Lian to be called in.The two of them, Feng Che and Cao Yong are the same age, and Lian and Cao Song are the same age.

It seems that the two of them did not expect that the new chief officer would be Cao Yong, and both of them had joy on their faces.However, Fengche has been an official for several years, remembering that Cao Yong was "demoted" by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he quickly put away his smile.

Cao Yong got up from behind the desk, asked the two to sit down, glanced at He Lian, and said, "Didn't Aunt Wu want you to take the exam? Why are you working in the ministry again?"

He Lian's mother is the fifth daughter of Marhan. After being widowed in her early years, she brought her only son back to the Shangshu Mansion and lived with her father.

He Lian studied in the Zhaojia Clan's attached school since he was a child. Where does he love learning?The family has long donated a supervisory student, and he failed in Sunshan after taking the two provincial examinations.Because he is the only son, he got married early, and now he has a wife, concubine and children, and he is still studying. I heard that he is planning to take the provincial examination this year.

He Lian himself was also confused, and replied: "Big cousin, younger brother is also confused, I didn't listen to grandpa's mention at first. I don't know how grandpa arranged it. I already completed the formalities yesterday and came here to work."

Cao Yong was puzzled and looked at Fengche.

Feng Che nodded, approved He Lian's statement, and added: "I don't know why grandpa is worried about this again? My aunt refused to allow it, and went to grandpa to plead for mercy, and planned to let He Lian continue the imperial examination. Grandpa Having said that, He Lian is not the seed for studying, so he can take advantage of this opportunity as an errand."

Is it a coincidence?
Cao Yong can only think this way, after all, the imperial decree was issued yesterday, and Ma Erhan didn't know that he would go to the Ministry of Households.

After all, they grew up in Shangshu Mansion and were taught by Malhan himself. Although Feng Che and He Lian were naughty when they were teenagers, they are more stable now, and they are both honest and responsible children.

Cao Yong glanced at Fengche, and said: "Is Xiaoliu on duty by Mr. Chen's side? How is the job? Is it hard?"

"Well. I was the most tired at the end of the year, but it's better at the beginning of the year." Fengche replied.

Cao Yong heard this, and said to He Lian: "my cousin and I are newcomers to this courtyard, so come to Shangfang to get acquainted with each other. It's just that being an errand is no more than studying at home. There are more things to worry about. If there is something wrong If you know something, just ask Xiao Liu and me."

"Yes, big cousin." He Lian stood up and listened, and replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Feng Che tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice, "This is an official office, so we have to call it relative."

He Lian is also a smart person, upon hearing the words, he immediately became serious, and changed his words: "Yes, my lord."

Looking at the two cousins, Cao Yong just thought it was nice to be young.He nodded and said to the two of them, "It's business in front of you, and you don't need to be too cautious in private."

He Lian and Feng Che breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, said a few more words with Cao Yong, and went down to work...

Changchun Garden, outside Qingxi Bookstore.

Seeing the fourth elder brother coming out of the study, the sixteenth elder brother hurried up to meet him.The fourth elder brother glanced at him, saw that his face was flushed red, and said: "I heard that you were not feeling well a few days ago, it seems that you are better now?"

Elder Sixteen heard about this matter, he felt uncomfortable all over, and said: "Okay, okay, I dare not let fourth brother worry about it. Fourth brother just met Huang Ama? I will visit Jidian in a few days, four Do you follow me?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head and said, "I don't know, Huang Ama didn't mention this."

Elder Sixteen hesitated for a moment, and said: "Fourth brother, that kid Cao Yong has gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs. You can take care of him more in the future. Speaking of which, he is not enough to worry about. Although he can do some practical things, but It’s always not good. I won’t steal credit, and I won’t say a few good words in front of Huang Ama. Is the job in the six subjects easy to do? If something goes wrong, won’t this official become smaller and smaller.”

The fourth elder brother couldn't help laughing when he saw the sixteenth elder brother's appearance of "hating iron but not steel", looked at him and said, "It seems that the sixteenth brother is old enough to know how to worry about others."

"Cao Yong is not someone else...not..." At this point, the sixteenth elder brother said awkwardly, "Isn't it a niece and son-in-law? Or a nephew..." The latter sentence lowered the volume.

Although no one was around, the fourth elder brother still frowned, glared at the sixteenth elder brother, and said with a straight face: "Don't listen to the wind and rain, even if Huang Ama spoils you, you should know how to measure it. Some words, you can only Rotten in the stomach..."

After sixteenth elder brother finished speaking, he also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.

He laughed "hehe" twice, and said: "In a few days, our little four will be full moon, although we can't put full moon wine, but this full moon gift, fourth brother, can't be held back. My younger brother also hopes to take this opportunity to blow the autumn wind everywhere. .”

Seeing his hippie smiling face, the fourth elder brother couldn't be surprised, he hummed, and said: "You still need to make a special trip to say that your fourth sister-in-law has already prepared it. It's still a double copy. I hope that the siblings will be like Mrs. Li this time." Yes, I will also add a little elder brother to you."

"Fourth sister-in-law still loves younger brother." Brother Sixteen said with a smile.

Although he has a deep affection for the Li family of Fang Fujin, and loves Hongpu a lot, but he can't bear to think that the two sons of Sixteen Fujin have not stood still, and hopes that she will get her wish and give birth to a son.However, with a son-in-law, how will Li Shi and Hongpu mother and son deal with each other?

Thinking of this, Brother Sixteen's smile froze, he just felt a headache, and he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds...

After a few days, Cao Yong gradually became familiar with Huke's errands.

It is not difficult to say that Huke is only responsible to the emperor.As long as the papers involved the errands of the household department, after being sent by the emperor, they should go to the household department first.From Huke, send it to the main hall of Hube.Clear up these errands every five days.

For my job in the household department, I also report to the household department once every five days.

If there are any doubts and unclear points, Huke will sort them out and report them to the imperial court.

Speaking of it, it is a bit of a link between the past and the future, and it also has a supervisory role.

On this day, another major event happened. Kui Xu, the former censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the head of the Hanlin Academy, died of illness.

Unlike A Ling'a's lingering sick bed, Kui Xu's condition has improved a few days ago.The emperor personally sent someone to preach: "You have just recovered from the disease, and I can tell you what to eat. I have nothing here, but I don't know if it is suitable for you, so I dare not send it."

There was the word "dare not" in the decree, which made Kui Xu so frightened that he dragged his sick body to the Changchun Garden to kneel and beg, saying that the word "dare not" in the decree could not bear it.

Kangxi didn't summon him after all, he just asked someone to help him down.

After this trip, Kui Xu couldn't bear it, and died of illness within two days.

Because of the episode in the middle, there were such rumors. Some said that Kui Xuyin committed suicide in fear of sin because he was "attached to the party" before;

Nalan Fusen had already let go of his foreign post last year, and his relatives left Beijing.On the side of Nalan Mansion, only Kui Xu's two heirs are left, the eldest son Yongshou and the second son Yongfu.

Although Yongshou is already married and working as an official, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can he handle funerals?
Although he came from a noble background, he never put on airs in the bodyguards, and he has a harmonious relationship with his colleagues, and everyone is willing to come to take care of him.Among them, Cao Song is very close to Yongshou because of the relationship between Nalan Fusen and Cao Yong.

These few days happened to be taking a rest, so Cao Song went to Nalan Mansion to help.

Cao Yong knew for a long time that Cao Song and Yongshou had a good relationship, so he was a little worried, fearing that his younger brother would be involved in the Baye Party.But there is still Nalan Fusen's relationship in the middle, so it's not good to let the younger brother alienate Yongshou.

Now that the eighth elder brother is dead, and the eighth master party has long since passed, Cao Yong naturally has no reason to stop his younger brother.On the contrary, thinking of Nalan Fusen, Cao Yong asked a few more questions.

The once-prominent Mingzhu Mansion, with the death of Mingzhu's father and son, has become increasingly rare.

Cao Song only stayed in Nalan Mansion for half a day, and came back in the next afternoon with no interest.Just when Cao Yong came back from the yamen, he met him at the door of his house. Seeing him wearing Tsing Yi, he asked him to come in and talk.

It turned out that Cao Song and several colleagues from the guard office went to Nalan Mansion to help.It was good at first, everyone followed Nalan's masters to share errands, and went around to help.

As a result, at noon, brother Jiu brought people over to take over the funeral ceremony.

Although it is said that they are all helping, but Brother Jiu is holding the airs of the prince, and everyone is less comfortable, and they came back after staying for half a day.

Cao Yong heard the words, a little strange.

Ever since the eighth elder brother died, the ninth elder brother was "unwell" after taking care of the eighth elder brother's funeral. The first thing he came out to do was to organize the funeral of the Nalan mansion. Isn't he afraid of making taboos?

"Jiu elder brother said that Yongshou, his ama, entrusted their brothers to Jiu elder brother before he died, so he will take care of the mansion there from now on." At this point, Cao Song frowned and said: "I don't know about Yongshou What does Ama think? My nephew can't believe it, but I want to trust outsiders. Brother Fusen is kind, and he has nothing to say about Yongshou and Yongfu."

What else, isn't it just a matter of birth?

Kuixu's mother was the patriarch's daughter, and his wife was Geng's granddaughter, Yuele, king of Anjun.Speaking of which, Geng and Bafujin are cousins, and her mother was raised in the palace since she was a child, and she was granted the title of "Princess Heshuo", and her status is more noble than the mother of Bafujin.

It's just because Geng's father is the third son of Jingnan King Geng Jimao. Although he is loyal to the court and has not been implicated by the San Francisco Rebellion, he has been silent for many years.

Yongshou and Yongfu's biological mother is a princess from Kangwang's mansion, and her status is getting more and more noble.

And Nalan Fusen was not only the bastard son of a prostitute, but his biological mother fled Nalan Mansion after Nalan Rongruo's death and remarried a Jiangnan scholar.Without Cao Yin's mediation, it would be delusional for Nalan Fusen to even recognize his ancestors.

It would be nice to be able to accommodate this nephew in Beijing, how could Kui Xu entrust his family to each other?

Cao Yong sighed, is this Kui Xu stupid in reading?Brother Jiu has no other hobbies, but loves gold and silver.Mingzhu has been a power minister for half of her life, and she has successively married royal family members, so the family must have a very rich fortune.

Kui said that this is not Tuogu, it is leading wolves into the house.

Cao Yong was clear in his heart, but he was not interested in intervening.Even if Nalan Fusen did not leave Beijing with his wife and children, Kui Xu would not distribute the family property to this concubine nephew.

As for whether the brothers Yongshou and Yongfu were wronged, Cao Yong didn't need to worry about it.With the relationship between King An and Prince Kang's mansion, brother Jiu couldn't do too much.Besides, Yongfu is his son-in-law, and as a father-in-law, he has no face to swallow his son-in-law alive.

In addition to these dirty things, there is another happy event recently, that is, after Cao Yong was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was recommended by Cao Yong as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Iraqi Legislative Council.Although he didn't get promoted immediately, but he was already satisfied, prepared a serious gift, and sent it to Cao Yong's mansion in person...

Just two days before the full moon of the fourth elder brother born by the Li family on the [-]th Fujin, the [-]th Fujin gave birth to the fifth elder brother safely.

The fourth elder brother was given a name by Kangxi for this emperor's grandson, and named him Honghao.On the day when the fourth elder brother is full moon, it is the ceremony for the fifth elder brother to "wash the three".

Although it is still in the eighth elder brother's filial piety period, there is no big deal, but it is a rare "double happiness", and close relatives and friends are still congratulating in the palace.Chu Yu's side, of course, is going.

After being busy for half a day, she came out of the palace in the afternoon.

Looking at the two little elder brothers, she had something on her mind.Sitting in the carriage, she thought about it all the way, should she invite an imperial doctor to come over and check her body well.If it is really hopeless to recuperate, what should I do?

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.For a while, I told myself that the old man and his wife had already grown longevity, and Tianyou could not be said to be the only seedling;

Helpless, she persuaded herself to be taller a few times, but she couldn't become virtuous.

When Chuyu returned to the mansion, Zijing got the news and came to Wutong Garden.She came for Wang Ying, who was different from Qiniang who lived in Cao's mansion.According to what Chu Yu and Cao Yong said, Wang Ying's lifelong event also needs to be arranged by the mansion here.

Wang Ying is sixteen this year, and she will be eighteen when she is a filial piety, the grade for leaving the cabinet.However, she lost her mother when she was a child, and grew up in the countryside with her father and brother, so she didn't know anything about female red cooking skills.

Even if such a girl is given a generous dowry and finds a good family to marry, it is not reassuring.

As for Wang Ying, Chu Yu and Cao Yong specially told Zijing to take care of her.Zijing saw that it was inappropriate, so she came to discuss with Chuyu, to see if she could arrange a nurturing nun for her, and teach the girls some rules.

After hearing this, Chu Yu realized that she had been negligent.

Speaking of the foster nuns in the mansion, who is better than Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang?When the Second House was first divided, the Zhaojia family tried several times, and finally borrowed Aunt Chang to go there.

Because Aunt Chang was sent by the palace, she only listened to Chu Yu.Zhao Jia put on airs a few times and felt uncomfortable.Just for the sake of the fourth sister and the fifth son, I just endured it by force.

When we got married to Dong's family, because Dong Suxin had also worked in the palace, Zhao Jia was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to see Aunt Chang, so he hired a foster nun from outside and asked Aunt Chang to return to Dongfu.

The two girls in the East Mansion, Niuniu has grace and does not need to participate in the small election; Tianhui has eye disease and does not need to participate in the competition.In addition, the two of them are still young, and they are learning the rules together with their brothers.

"That's right, that's how it should be. It's better for my sister to be careful, or let Aunt Chang teach it for a year and a half. It's not a talent show, so don't be too strict." Chu Yu said.

Among the two priests, Luo and Chang, Aunt Luo was a bit harsh, even Tianyou and Hang Seng were afraid when they saw this nurturing nun; Aunt Chang was much more gentle and patient with the children.

Since Chuyu made such an arrangement, Zijing had nothing to say.And in her heart, she also felt that Aunt Chang was the right candidate.

Aunt Chang is gentle and kind. If Wang Ying can temper her temper and learn this skill of dealing with people, she will benefit for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, this arrangement led to the fate between Wang Ying and Aunt Chang.

Wang Ying had no mother or sister since she was a child. After entering the mansion, although Qiniang was with her, she was just like her, a tomboy.Although Chuyu and Zijing are gentle and kind people, they are usually busy with housework, and they meet her every now and then, and they can't say a few words.

Aunt Chang was also alone. She entered the palace as a servant in her teens. When she left the palace, her parents had already died. She only had one brother, which was gone a few years ago.

Although Wang Ying grew up in the mountains and didn't know the rules, she was innocent and pure at heart.In addition, Aunt Chang knew that she was an orphan who went to the Cao family after her parents died, and she felt even more pity for her.

On Wang Ying's side, seeing Aunt Chang's gentle teaching, she was also willing to get close to her.

After coming and going, the two got along so harmoniously that even Qiniang felt jealous when they saw each other.But she only thought about boxing in her heart, and Ken quietly stayed with Wang Ying for two months, and her whole body was already itchy.

Seeing that Aunt Chang was here with her, she also felt relieved. Either she went to the school grounds to find Niu Niu and the others to play with, or to "compete" with Cao Jia and Cao Yi, and her life was quite happy...

On the first day of February, Shengjia went out of Beijing to visit Jidian, and the princes who followed him were the third elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother.

Since the eighth elder brother died of illness, more and more people went to the third elder brother's mansion.The crown prince is registered and divided into "establishment of the first son", "establishment of the elder", and "establishment of the virtuous".The second elder brother stood up and abolished, and the "princelings" disappeared; the most famous eighth elder brother died of illness after two years of silence, and the hardcore members of the "eighth prince party" also died, and switched to the sect.

The rest seems to be only "Li Chang".

The elder brother and the second elder brother who were circled are not counted, the third elder brother is the elder brother of the princes.Among the remaining princes, the fourteenth elder brother is active, but he is still young, and his martial arts and martial arts are not outstanding. It will be difficult for him to compete with his elder brothers for a while.

Even with the third elder brother, he couldn't help but feel complacent, thinking that he really got the Sacred Heart, otherwise why would the emperor appoint him to follow him.

On this day, I arrived at Zhaobeikou and boarded the boat.It's cold in February, but standing at the head of the Yuzhou Bridge, the third elder brother is still in high spirits, and he pulls the fifteenth elder brother to watch the scenery here.

Seeing that the third elder brother was full of ambition, the fifteenth elder brother twitched the corners of his mouth, and said seemingly unintentionally: "It seems that Huang Ama really values ​​the fourth brother, and keeps the fourth brother in the capital every time..."

The third elder brother heard the words, the smile froze on his face.

He glanced at Brother Fifteen and said, "Really? Brother Fifteen thinks so?"

"En." The fifteenth elder brother nodded, and said: "In the past few years, whenever Huang Ama came out of Beijing, the third brother and the fourth brother would always be in charge of the capital. In the past two years, the third brother came out more often. We accompany Being in front of Huang Ama is just to relieve Huang Ama's boredom, but the third brother's following is going to tire the fourth brother..."

The third elder brother sneered twice, he had already knocked over the five-flavored bottle in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.

"Fortunately, Cao Yong has been transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs. They all say that he is capable, and the fourth brother has added help..." the fifteenth elder brother continued, looking at the distant mountains, it seemed that he did not see the third elder brother's face. droop down.

Behind the two, Elder Sixteen stood not far away, looking at Elder Fifteen's back, with a complicated expression on his face...

Beijing, Household Division Office.

Cao Yong sits behind the book case and chooses to meditate.Brother Sixteen had looked for him before he left Beijing.There are 10,000+ taels of gold in the inner treasury. Taking advantage of the high gold price in the capital, half of it has been released year after year, and exchanged for several 10 taels of silver.

After the tens of thousands of taels of gold were released, the price of gold in the capital has dropped, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to make profits from the principal of the remaining 10 taels of gold.That's why Brother Sixteen found Cao Yong...

Although there was no imperial decree, Cao Yong knew that this was an errand sent by Kangxi...

The number of monthly tickets didn't move, so Xiao Jiu begged for a monthly ticket and burst into tears. .
