Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 746

It is true that Jinghui is an orphan, but she followed her grandmother and witnessed the destruction of her uncle's family.

After the lord, the emperor's faithful minister, the number one governor in the world, how prominent is the governor's mansion when Gali is in power?When the steward of the mansion goes out, even if the magistrate sees him, he will also smile with him.

Those daotai wives and magistrates' grandmas fawn on the governor's mansion like something.When the Karli incident happened, everything became a crime in the end.

The Cao family is not that far yet, but one sells cigarettes and the other increases the rent, both of which are the root cause of the trouble, how can Jinghui not be alarmed and vigilant.

The meaning of Li Shi and Cao Song has been explained to her clearly, that is, to be able to be a family.For her mother-in-law, she must be filial and respectful, and serve her in a respectful and orderly manner, but the power of housework must be in her hands, and the Zhaojia family cannot be allowed to do whatever she wants.

This is not a matter of one person. He is responsible for the reputation of the Cao family and the future of the Cao Song brothers.

It's just that she has always been good-tempered. Among the housekeeper's wife and daughter-in-law, she is the old man Zhao Jia is used to.For a while, few people really admired her.

Jinghui was not in a hurry, she just looked at the account book slowly.In half a day, she picked out several wrong accounts and changed several errands in charge of the daughter-in-law.

The evidence is conclusive and indisputable.

Even if there were two old people who wanted to go to the garden to intercede with Mrs. Zhao Jia, they would have no face to say so, wearing the hats of "deceitful master" and "greedy ink".

I don't know if it was because of this thunderous method that the air pressure in the inner house suddenly dropped. Those women and daughters-in-law who were somewhat respectable in front of their wives in the past have become more honest.

In addition to Cao Song's handling of Xiong Ren and Bai Er's matter before, everyone knew that the person in charge of the inner house had been replaced by the second grandma who was looking at him in a friendly manner.

Su Xin was ordered to assist her sister-in-law in housekeeping, but she refused to say a word.

Although Jinghui and her are the eldest sister-in-law of the second room and the young daughter-in-law of the second room, in fact Suxin is half a year older than Jinghui.Coupled with Suxin's steady personality developed as a errand in the palace, she looks bigger than Jinghui.

For this reason, Jinghui never showed her sister-in-law's profile in front of her, and she was willing to discuss things with her.But she abides by her duty as the youngest daughter-in-law and doesn't like to talk too much.

Until seeing Jinghui angry with these people calmly, a word came to her mouth, but it was finally swallowed back into her stomach.

Since we know that these people have dirty hands and feet, why not expose them earlier?Even if the mother-in-law is in the mansion, she has never been willing to suffer a disadvantage, nor is she willing to be fooled by servants.

Jing Hui seemed to see what Su Xin was thinking, raised her head and said: "They are servants, and there are parents and relatives behind them. Intertwined and intertwined, they can also gain momentum. Even if they had an attack before, and their relatives made up for it, wouldn't it be Same?"

After mentioning this sentence, Suxin already has a bottom line in her heart.She picked up the blue and white tea bowl in front of her, lowered her head and took a sip.

In the final analysis, it is because of her mother-in-law who is in charge of the family, plus she has soft ears and is willing to listen to flattery, so those servants are the ones she uses and trusts.

Speaking of this, she remembered one thing, that is Hongmei, the girl next to her mother-in-law.Among the women who were dismissed this time was Hongmei's mother.

Hongmei relied on being the big girl next to his wife, but usually her eyes were on her forehead, and she also looked directly at Jinghui and Suxin when talking.

The wife's two maids before, Zi Lan in the second master's room, and Green Ju is the aunt in front of the fourth master's eyes, and now this Hongmei, every time she sends a message to Su Xin, she is dressed up enchantingly.

Born in the gate of a mansion, and has been in the palace for more than ten years, what hasn't Suxin seen?

Thinking of this, she put down the tea bowl and looked at the ivy climbing the veranda outside.This is life. I usually watch being acted by others, but I don't know when I will become a character in the play.

It's just that this scene of wives and concubines fighting for power, even if it wasn't performed, it would be tiring to watch.

In this regard, she can believe in herself, and she will not be worse than Jinghui, the "second wife's wife", and she will definitely be "virtuous and virtuous"...

On this day, there were many errands in the Yamen, and it was getting dark before Cao Yong came out from the household department.

Before arriving at the archway of Xidan, Cao Yong saw fourteenth elder brother and sixteenth elder brother wearing regular clothes, riding a horse and stopping not far away with a smile, followed by a long guard.

He wondered how these two elder brothers got together, but they didn't show it on the face, reined in the horse, and wanted to get off the horse to see.

Elder Sixteen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've been waiting for a while, and the Wu Zang Temple has already rebelled against the Lord."

Although he said so, in the end it was in front of everyone, Cao Yong still saw it off his horse.

Seeing that these two people seemed to be waiting for him specially, but I don't know what their intentions are?Cao Yong glanced at Elder Sixteen, Elder Sixteen gave him a helpless look with his back on Elder Fourteen.

Cao Yong already knew it in his heart, it seems that the fourteenth elder brother remembered which one came out again.

Just thinking about how to find a reason to refuse, Elder Fourteen already smiled and said: "My Lord is also hungry. Cao Yong is so proud of himself, the evil Lord and Little Sixteen are waiting for you. Get on the horse, Wu's side is already there. Set up the table." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cao Yong's order, he pointed to Zheng Hu who was behind Cao Yong and said, "Your master has to go back to the western suburbs every day, right? You go back and talk to your master and wife, and say that you are the same The sixteenth master stayed with Cao Yong for a drink, so he won't leave the city today."

Zheng Hu looked at Cao Yong, still hesitating.

The fourteenth elder brother put his face down, stared at Zheng Hu and said, "What? You are a servant of the Cao family, you can't order me?"

Cao Yong was so annoyed that he could only endure it in front of others, turned around and explained a few words to Zheng Hu, and sent him out of the city.

Only then did the fourteenth elder brother turn his anger into joy, smiled at Cao Yong twice, and said, "Why are you still dawdling? I really have the heart to see if my master and your sixteenth master will starve to death?"

The sixteenth elder brother was beside the fourteenth elder brother, looking at Zheng Hu's back in the distance, and frowned slightly.

Things have come to this, Cao Yong can only bite the bullet and follow to "go to the banquet."

The Wu family is the outhouse of the fourteenth elder brother, who lives on the shore of Shichahai.Cao Yong had been there once before, that was the time when Brother Fourteen talked about grand plans with him and wanted to recruit him into the gang.It's just that Cao Yong used "Father's order must not be violated" to prevaricate it last time.

Brother Sixteen was the first to come here. Seeing the early summer scenery by the sea, and the tall beauty in Han suit, he couldn't help but take a second look.

When the fourteenth brother saw her coming out, his expression was already gentle. He pointed to the sixteenth brother and said, "This is my sixteenth brother." Having said that, he pointed to Cao Yong and said, "This is Cao Yong. Mr. Cao, you met last time."

Mrs. Wu didn't feel annoyed, and with a bit of gentleness, said Wanfu, saying: "I have met Master Sixteen, Master Cao."

Cao Yong knew that she was the favorite of the fourteenth elder brother, so he avoided her sideways and did not accept her courtesy, and replied: "Cao has met Master Wu."

This outfit looks like a good family, with a honey-colored gown, a stone-blue skirt, a faint pink on the face, and two white jade hairpins on the hair.

When doing things, he doesn't treat petty people, but he is shadowy and dusty, which is different from those bawds and sisters he has seen before. In addition, Cao Yong next to him uses the "honorary title", brother sixteen doesn't know how to return the gift. With a lot of doubts, he looked at Brother Fourteen.

Brother Fourteen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Sixteen, this is your sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu's cheeks were already flushed, and she cast a coquettish look at Fourteenth Elder Brother.

Brother Shiliu was also interested, he cupped his hands and said: "So it's my sister-in-law, Xiao Shiliu greeted my sister-in-law." As he said that, he stretched out his hand with a smile.

Wu Shi didn't dare to accept the gift, so she hurriedly leaned over to return the gift.Seeing Elder Sixteen like this, she couldn't help but startled.

Seeing a "pop", the fourteenth elder brother knocked down the sixteenth elder brother's hand, and scolded with a smile: "I didn't bring you to drink, I didn't want you to beat the autumn wind."

Elder Sixteen had a shy face, but he was unwilling to let go, and said with a smile: "This little sister-in-law can't be called for nothing, a meeting gift is a must." Having said this, he lowered his volume, and said to Elder Fourteen: "If Fourteen Brother is willing, but younger brother feels wronged, and if he can't say it, he has to complain and complain with those sister-in-laws in the palace."

The fourteenth brother heard the words, but he couldn't laugh or cry.After accepting Mrs. Wu for two years, the number of times he has received guests here can be counted in two palms. The reason is that they are afraid that it will spread to the palace and bring trouble to Mrs. Wu.

Today is to win over Sixteenth Brother and Cao Yong, so I am here to entertain guests, but I forgot to worry about Sixteenth Brother.

He laughed twice, showing a row of white teeth, and said darkly: "Could it be that the sixteenth brother's skin is itchy, it seems that tomorrow I will go to the school ground with my brother to relax?"

Brother Sixteen saw him, and acted like he was afraid. He took two steps forward, turned behind Mrs. Wu, and said, "Little sister-in-law, look at Brother Fourteen. You don't have to be so stingy to let sister-in-law clean up so plainly. Tomorrow The younger brother will make people tidy up and send some palace flowers and Shu brocades to my sister-in-law."

Brother Fourteen gritted his teeth angrily.If Elder Sixteen is really so flamboyant, then his "Golden House Cangjiao" thing will be revealed.He is not afraid of his wife and concubines being jealous, but he knows that his mother will not allow it.Long before accepting the Wu family, he had made insinuations and was lectured by Concubine De.

Wu's exquisite heart, it can't be seen that the sixteenth elder brother is deliberately teasing the fourteenth elder brother.She couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief, giggled twice, and said in a low voice: "Master Sixteen's temperament is completely different from Master Fifteen."

Elder Sixteen heard this, his heart moved, and he said with a smile on his face: "Little Sister-in-law, I don't say anything else, but I am the most righteous person. I called 'Sister-in-law' today, and I will be in the future." If brother fourteen dares to bully sister-in-law, little sixteen will support you."

Cao Yong stood aside, watching with cold eyes, and saw that Brother Fourteen really loved Mrs. Wu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't turn his anger into joy because of these two sentences, and said to Wu: "Forget it, forget it, it's all Huang Ama's habit, this little sixteen is so reckless when he was young, it seems that if you don't let me If he makes a fortune, he will not stop. Just bring him the new piece of jade from Ye Xin, so as not to keep him from going on forever."

Mrs. Wu agreed with a smile, and asked someone to fetch the jade belt, and personally presented it to Elder Sixteen.

Seeing this, the sixteenth elder brother took it in a polite manner, and felt that it was cold to the touch.It turned out to be made of high-quality cold jade, which is the best in summer, Brother Sixteen said with a smile: "Thank you sister-in-law for the gift, my brother has the audacity to accept it."

Fourteenth elder brother looked at it, hummed twice, and said to Wu: "Let someone prepare the meal, let Xiaoliu's mouth, I don't know what to ask for?"

The Wu family, the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Yong bent over and took the maid out to prepare the table.

The sixteenth elder brother sent the jade belt to Cao Yong, showing off: "Cao Yong, touch it, this is something that can't be met, and it may not be found in the inner treasury, and I haven't heard of it in the capital."

Cao Yong looked at it with a smile on his face, but he couldn't be happy in his heart.

Since it is "you can meet but you can't ask for it", the fourteenth elder brother is in the deep palace, where can I find a change?Could it be that Brother Fourteen's influence has extended beyond Beijing?
This year is the 56th year of Kangxi, and the prince will set off on behalf of the heavens either this year or next year.

The fourteenth elder brother was slaughtered by the sixteenth elder brother. Seeing his pride, he glared at him and said, "Are you still a child? You don't care about your status. Fortunately, it was in front of her. If it was outside, would it be embarrassing? "

The sixteenth elder brother had already let go of the screen, changed the jade belt, came out with a fan, and said with a smile: "It's a gift from my sister-in-law, so my younger brother only accepts it; if it's someone else, my younger brother won't show off his face!"

Isn't this taking advantage and acting like a good boy?
The fourteenth elder brother couldn't say no to him, turned his head, and said to Cao Yong: "Cao Yong, I'm busy and you are busy, so it's rare to get together. Let's drink more tonight."

Cao Yong here, can only accompany said a few words.

According to the etiquette system, the eighth elder brother's filial piety period has not passed, and the fourteenth and sixteenth elder brothers, who are younger brothers, are not allowed to drink.But after all, it is not the filial piety of parents, and after seven or seven days, there will be no such scruples.

There are many people in the royal family, if the relatives are full of filial piety, then these princes and elder brothers will never be in the filial piety period throughout the year.Therefore, for the filial piety of a nephew like Hong Pu, the fourteenth and sixteenth elder brothers do not have to abide by it.

After a short time, Mrs. Wu has arranged a banquet and came to invite everyone to the flower hall.

The fourteenth elder brother sat in the middle, the sixteenth elder brother sat on his left, and Cao Yong sat on his right.Seeing that Fourteenth Elder Brother had something to talk about, Mrs. Wu brought wine pots and cups, filled them up for everyone, and retreated with the little maid.

The fourteenth elder brother had already put away his smile, solemnly raised his cup, and said, "Sixteenth brother, Cao Yong, I respect you both."

Brother Sixteen and Cao Yong looked at each other quickly, and said with a smile: "Brother Fourteen, what are you talking about respecting or not. Brother told me, we just drink with you, and you can't be respected by Brother Fourteen."

"'We'?" Elder Fourteen heard the words, with a somewhat disappointed look on his face, and said, "It's not for anything else, just because after these years, little Sixteen can still say 'we'."

Seeing his behavior like this, Brother Sixteen and Cao Yong understood a little bit.

It must be because of the estrangement between the ninth and tenth elder brothers after the eighth elder brother died.

Cao Yong lowered his eyelids and thought, this is the luck of Brother Nine and Brother Ten, otherwise they will follow you, one will die and the other will become a useless person.

It seems that after the eldest brother, second elder brother, and eighth elder brother are gone, the person who fainted because of the prince's dream was replaced by the fourteenth elder brother.

Although Elder Sixteen understands, he can only pretend to be confused, raised his glass and said: "Drink it, my brother has been hungry for a long time, and after drinking this cup, he has to fill his stomach first." Dried the wine in the glass with his hand.

On Cao Yong's side, he also drank, held up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

Elder Fourteen glanced at Elder Sixteen, then at Cao Yong, his eyes were very bright...

10 taels of gold, in the hands of Xiaoliu...
