Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 748 Flowering

Because he drank too much, when he woke up the next day, Elder Sixteen complained of a headache.Yesterday's clothes were stained with alcohol, so Cao Yong asked someone to find him a new coat and hat.

The two are about the same height, elder brother Sixteen was originally richer than Cao Yong, but he is naturally afraid of heat, and summer is bitter every year, since the beginning of summer, he has lost a lot, so Cao Yong's clothes fit him well.

He flicked his sleeves, and tied the "five-piece" job on the table around his waist.It is a red satin base, embroidered with flat gold, which is extremely delicate, and it is a fan cover, a watch cover, a key cover, a finger ring cover and a purse.

This is the habit of banner people in the capital. Apart from paying attention to rules, the rest pay attention to food and clothing.Even men should always look fresh, and they are very careful about dressing.

Therefore, for Cao Yong's plain clothes, Brother Sixteen really looked down on him.I took another look in front of the mirror, and said to Cao Yong: "Furuo, how do you say hello? I told you a long time ago that people need clothes, and Buddhas need gold clothes. Otherwise, those who are not open-minded will look down on you. People's hearts are so powerful. Look, I put on your clothes, I'm less expensive, and I look like a little scholar."

Cao Yong heart, naturally know this truth.In fact, he is not as shabby as Brother Sixteen sighed, and the materials and workmanship of his clothes are also of high quality, but he doesn't like the gaudy bright colors.

Cao Yong pointed to the golden tassels under his work, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Sixteen, with this, even if Lord Sixteen wears coarse clothes, no one dares to look down on Lord Sixteen."

Brother Sixteen finished cleaning up, and his eyes fell on the words hanging on the south wall: "'The acquaintance of people is the most important thing, and the most important thing for people to know is the heart." Words, is this written by my uncle?"

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "No, I heard that it was an old friend of my father who lived here temporarily when he came to the capital one year. I see that the writing is good, and it is Yasheng's words, and the artistic conception is also good. It didn't make people move."

"There are sages who say it is true, and there is a saying, 'Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart'!" Brother Sixteen recalled what happened last night, and couldn't help being annoyed: "Let him disturb the good and comfortable life, I'm really unwilling." At this point, he rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Cao Yong, don't be too uncomfortable, or let's find a way to give him a 'reciprocal gift'? To save him from thinking about it. , the old poor toss."

"It's okay to 'return the gift', but it has to be more secretive, so as not to make him angry. Seeing him so determined, maybe he will be famous. At this time, we can't offend too much." Cao Yong thought for a while, and said.

Brother Sixteen nodded and said: "I know this, he is not a magnanimous person, and the concubine de concubine loves the weak, if I really offend him, my mother-in-law's life in the palace will not be easy in the future .”

After a while, the servant has brought the dining table over.

Cao Yong had breakfast with Elder Sixteen, and the two of them headed towards the imperial city together...

In the yamen of the Ministry of War, the fourteenth elder brother came over early with a refreshed look, and ordered the on-duty pen post to turn out the map of Western Xinjiang.

The more he looked, the tighter his brows became. The northwest is better to talk about. There are military posts left in the early conquest of Galdan, which are still in use now, and they are not abandoned; Road and station.

Not to mention the official roads and post stations, after passing Qinghai and going south, even the marked roads are limited.

Thousands of miles to go to military aircraft, how far is it?
From the capital to Rehe, there are more than a dozen round trips.

No matter what happens to the imperial army, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. It is imminent for people to station soldiers in Qinghai.

Those Mongolian Taiji in Qinghai belonged to the imperial court in name, but in fact they were obedient and obedient, otherwise the Zhungeer soldiers would not have entered Tibet for half a year before the imperial court got the news.

Thinking of this, Elder Fourteen held his breath, picked up a brush, and wrote a letter to invite Qinghai Military Station...

*
Rehe, a summer resort.

Kangxi was sitting behind the desk, holding in his hand the booklet of Zhungeer's entry into Tibet that was urgently sent by the Ministry of War in Babaili.His face was a little gloomy, this book was in front of the imperial court last night, and he sat behind the book case for half an hour without giving any instructions.

He knew that the Ministry of War was waiting for his order, but he couldn't make it.

Troops were gathered in the northwest, and they had been preparing for battle for two years, but they hadn't gone to war yet; the Zhungeer people became more and more arrogant, and their power had extended from the northwest to the southwest.

After being an emperor all his life, if he still can't see the wolf ambition of the Zhungeer people, then he is a waste snack.

It's just that the weather in the northwest is harsh, the army can move every June and July, and it has to return to Shaanxi and Gansu in October, otherwise the horses and soldiers can't bear it.

According to last year's deployment, soldiers and horses were dispatched to Urumqi in June this year, inflicting heavy losses on the Zhungeer people.This is still to select the best soldiers and finally prepare all the horses.Even if there are still tens of thousands of troops stationed in Suzhou, but there are not enough horses and food supplies, how can they follow the Jungar people into Tibet?

Kangxi sighed, put Zhezi aside, and wrote a handbook to Fourteenth Elder Brother and Minister of the Ministry of War.Fortunately, the previous report was a secret report on military affairs, so the matter could be kept secret.

Wei Zhugong stood aside, hearing this sigh, his heart was also heavy.

Kangxi's spirit was somewhat lacking when he moved to Rehe this time.Although it is not obvious in front of the ministers and workers, Wei Zhu is the head of the imperial court, so he is in the eyes.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, this internal official is the same.

Wei Zhu was less than thirty, and his rank was not the highest in the palace, but Sheng served in front of the imperial court, even the prince and Baylor did not dare to neglect him when they saw him.

Eat well, wear well, also set up a house outside the palace, and took two women as concubines.

In this life, he is also content.

Wei Zhu lowered his head slowly. It's not that there have been no princes and elder brothers to win him over these years, but he knows the weight of his size.A slave is a slave, not much better than a dog.Back then, he watched Liang Jiugong fall from power, and he didn't want to end up like that.

It is serious to earn more money in the future.Waiting for Lord Long Live...then 'sick' to leave the palace, and be the master for the rest of his life.

Whether it's the prince or Baylor, it's just because he is by the emperor's side, how many people really treat him as a human being?

Thinking of this, Wei Zhu had already made up her mind.Master Cao's birthday is two months away, and he needs to find a good birthday present this year.I don't care if the courtesy is light or heavy, just because this is a trustworthy friendship.

When I was "raised for honor", I might have to rely on the uncle of the Cao family to take care of me...

Haidian, the garden of Prince Chun's Mansion.

Seventh Elder Brother was accompanying him again this year, because the palace had to prepare a dowry, so Seventh Fujin did not accompany her husband.Side Fujin Nalashi is the biological mother of Ergege, and she also stays in the capital.The seventh elder brother only took the side Fujin Barda family and the Shufu Jin Li Jia family to go.

Chu Yu looked at Nalashi whose eyes were reddened, and really didn't know how to comfort her.Er Gege's wedding date is set in August, and in June she will depart from the capital to Rehe to be married.

Marrying a daughter is a happy event, but also a painful event for a mother.

Nalashi gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and took care of the elder one and the younger one, but did not love the second daughter much.Er Gege's temperament is not as gentle as her sister's, but she has always had her own ideas since she was a child, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all.

However, with such a straightforward temperament, after deciding on the date of marriage and knowing that he was about to leave Beijing, Er Gege was still panicked and finally fell ill.

Speaking of Ergege, Nalashi couldn't bear it anymore, and tears flowed out.

There are still few Royal Princesses who caress Mongolia. How many of them can live to the end of their lives?Not to mention Gege from the county prince's mansion, even the princesses who came out of the palace, half of them died of illness in Mongolia.

Whose family's princess is not spoiled and spoiled, but in Mongolia, he eats sand and suffers.

"Second sister is already uneasy, if Erniang is like this, younger sister will feel even more sad." Seeing that her mother couldn't stop, Chu Yu hurriedly took out her handkerchief and tried her tears herself.

Nalashi wiped away her tears when she heard the words, and said with a choked voice: "The imperial doctor said, your second sister has a heart disease. She used to be the strongest, she seemed to be not afraid of the sky and the earth, this time I really want to leave Beijing, It’s also a shame.”

After getting the news that Er Gege was ill, Chu Yu and her mother-in-law Li Shi came to visit him.After coming out of Ergege's room just now, Mrs. Li went to drink tea in Qifujin's room, and Chuyu followed her birth mother to talk.

"I heard that it's not far from Baogege's residence. Second sister and Baogege also know each other. Maybe they can take care of one or two." Be able to comfort me politely.

Having said that, after all, she was married and became a daughter-in-law, so how could she be self-sufficient.

Nalashi sighed, knowing that her daughter was comforting herself, just listening.

The mother and daughter were talking, when a maid came in to report that it was Chunhong who was beside Er Gege and was waiting in the porch.

I went to visit Er Gege just now, because Er Gege was tired, after seeing his sister and his wife, Wu Gege accompanied him to rest.

I don't know why people come here now?
After Chunhong came in, Chuyu realized that it was not Er Gege who sent her here, but Wu Gege who asked her to come over and invite Chuyu to come over, saying that the sisters wanted to say something intimate.

Seeing this, Nalashi stopped staying with Chuyu, telling her to untie her younger sister.

In the boudoir, Er GeGe was lying on the canopy bed, holding a handkerchief over his face.

Wugege sat on the edge of the bed, saw this and hurriedly lifted up the veil, saying: "Second sister is going to cry, who would laugh at you? Don't use this mask, it's still a plain white veil, it looks weird. "

Er Gege didn't want to cry in front of people, so he turned sideways and lay facing the bed.

Wu Gege looked at her back, her little face drooping.She is two years younger than Ergege, and she is also seventeen this year, so there is no telling when the intention of marriage will come down.

Now that Er Ge Ge is afraid, she also has no idea.

Alone, going to Mongolia, I really dare not even think about it.She lowered her head slowly, and tears fell down like beads that had fallen off a thread.

When Chu Yu entered the room, he saw such a scene.

It wasn't until Chuyu entered the room that Wu Gege turned around when he heard the movement, and then hurriedly stood up: "Big sister."

After hearing this, Er Gege quietly wiped away her tears, stood up, and looked at her sister's gaze, but it was complicated and hard to distinguish.
Chu Yu nodded to Wu Gege, stepped forward to help Er Gege's arm, and said, "Second sister is still weak, sit down and talk."

Er Gege's eyes fell from Chuyu's hand, then turned to her face, and said in a hoarse voice: "The same Ama Erniang, why is there such a big difference between the fate of the eldest sister and mine...The eldest sister is so lucky..."
