Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 803
Even in Cao Yong's heart, Amethyst is regarded as family, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a big maid of the Cao family who has served the old people.

Cao Yong also didn't want to let Zijing become someone's gossip. The news of her death was not well known.It was concealed directly, and only the two daughters-in-law in charge stayed at the Taoist temple.

After his father was buried and on his way back to the city, Cao Yong arranged for someone to take Zijing's body directly to Guanghua Temple.

Cao Yong felt a little tired. Before he could get over the pain of losing his father, he had to face the death of his relatives again.Zijing's death really caught him off guard.

He never thought that Zijing would leave the Cao family in this way.In his cognition, Amethyst seems to be a character that will always exist.Even if one day God Bless and Hang Seng get married and have children, Amethyst will still be there.

Amethyst's death, apart from Cao Yong, the saddest is God Bless and Hang Seng.

Three days after Zijing died of illness, Cao Yong and Chuyu took a few children to Guanghua Temple to worship.

It wasn't until this time that Tianyou and Hang Seng knew that "aunt" had left them forever just like their grandfather.The two brothers were crying so badly that they even brought Cao Yong and Chu Yu down their eyes.

Not to mention the successive funerals of the Cao family, how gloomy and bleak it is, the capital is full of excitement and joy.

This year is the year of the draft, even if Shengjia is recuperating in Tangquan, he is not in Beijing, and there is a concubine in charge of it.Regardless of whether they were unsuccessful or elected, they were all busy with weddings.

In the legacy of the Manchu Eight Banners, men often add women to warm their beds before going to war, in fact, it is also to "stay rooted".

The fourteenth elder brother still has the empress dowager's filial piety on him, so I won't say anything; none of the remaining clans who went to the expedition was left behind, and all of them were rewarded with beautiful girls.

It was Naersu, the king of Pingjun, who was also accused of two beautiful girls.Fortunately, they were all from ordinary backgrounds, but they were just used as concubines, and they were not named side Fujin, otherwise Cao Jia's family would have been stunned.

On Hongshu's side, he also added a concubine.

Cao Yong was still wearing white filial piety, and except for occasional visits to Guanghua Temple, he stayed behind closed doors at other times.

Unexpectedly, in mid-November, the Cao family and Xizheng finally established a relationship.Cao Song, who was on duty outside the bodyguard office, was selected as one of the [-] bodyguards who accompanied the fourteenth elder brother on the expedition.

When Cao Song first heard the news, he couldn't be called happy, and was a little dazed.If his uncle hadn't died of illness, perhaps he would have happily shown off to his elder brother.

After all, it is the wish of every man to be able to go to the battlefield.

But now, elder brother Ding You, with himself in front of him, can still explain a few words; if he is far away, when elder brother is sad, there is no one to talk to him.

The attachment to family affection made Cao Song extinguish his desire for fame.

He made a special trip to find Zhengbai Banner's minister of guards, and discussed whether he could be removed from the list of the Western Expedition.the answer is negative.

The bodyguards that can be drawn from the bodyguard office are limited, and they cannot be the only child in the family, so there are not many people to choose from.Besides, this list was finalized by Brother Fourteen.

On Cao Song's side, unless he can persuade Brother Fourteen, he can be removed from the list.

After hearing this, Cao Song could only come out from the guard with his head drooping.The fourteenth elder brother has seen him several times in the palace, and Cao Song can only say hello.

After leaving the palace, Cao Song went home and went directly to the West Mansion.

Hearing that Cao Song was going to the northwest with the fourteenth elder brother, Cao Yong was a little stunned.

According to what history knows, this is not to go to the northwest for a stroll and come back, but also to go to Tibet.Moreover, the battle was not over until the Kangxi Dynasty was over.

This trip lasted for three or four years.

Others don't know that Cao Yong came from 300 years later and knew the words "altitude sickness".Not to mention that the current traffic cannot be compared with that in 300 years.Going through this life, even if there is no fear of life, but suffering is indispensable.

Cao Yong was a little bit reluctant, and asked: "Can you find a reason to push?"

Cao Song shook his head and said, "I'm going to find the Minister of Internal Affairs, and I can't push it."

"It's nothing else, it's just the bitter cold in the northwest. It may take several years to go this way." Cao Yong said.

At this point, Cao Song didn't complain at all, he patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, didn't my younger brother go to Gansu that year? This time I was selected, and others still envy my younger brother! It doesn't wait to go out of Beijing , you can be promoted to the second class. When you come back from the Northwest after a few years, you may be a first-class guard."

Cao Song is still young, and having spent several years in the Northwest is considered seniority.In addition to Naersu and Hongshu who are traveling together this time, Cao Yong has nothing to worry about.

"Go out and buy a good armor for you. When you go out, you have to protect yourself well." Speaking of this, Cao Yong regretted it.

If I had known that Cao Song was also going to fight, Hong Shu's soft armor should have been delivered later. Find a good craftsman to compare the appearance and make a similar one for Cao Song...

Nine elder brothers' mansion, the living room.

Brother Ten took a look at Brother Nine, and said with a smile: "Brother Nine seems to be enjoying a comfortable life in Luoyang, and his waist is getting longer."

Ninth Brother glanced at Tenth Brother, and said: "This is called richness! But you, Brother Ten, the cat has been 'recovering' in the mansion for many years, why is it getting thinner and thinner?"

Elder Brother Ten felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't answer Brother Ninth's words, and asked, "By the way, Brother Ninth, where are your cigarettes? The ones you sent back earlier taste really good. I wouldn't dare Guaranteed, I'm in love with this mouthful!"

"The tenth brother is indispensable. Now I am selling goods everywhere. I think in a few days, there will be cigarettes sold everywhere in the capital!" Brother Jiu raised his legs, and his face added a bit of color: "We are also famous in history. A handful! Wait until 50 years later, when people talk about this cigarette, they will have to mention Jiu Ye.”

Elder Brother Shi just laughed when he heard that.

Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "Is there nothing else to say?"

"What did you say? The old fourteenth general, the prince's guard of honor left the capital, I told Brother Ninth all of this!" Brother Ten was a little confused.

"The seventh brother is in charge of the Zhenglan flag, the tenth brother is in charge of the Zhenghuang flag, and the twelfth brother is in charge of the Zhengbai flag!" said the ninth elder brother.

"It's just Huang Ama looking at us leisurely, just pretending to be a name." Elder Brother Shi waved his hands and said disapprovingly.

Brother Jiu saw that he had no calculations, but he felt a little envious...

Pingjun Palace, inner courtyard.

Seeing Cao Jia's lying on the soft couch, Na Ersu stepped forward, sat beside her, and said, "What? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"If you don't accompany the beauty, why do you think of me, my old lady?" Cao Jiashi glanced at him and said.

Neersu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Fu Jin is still an old woman? Go out and ask, who would have thought that our son is already eleven. I already have gray hair, and Fujin still looks the same as when he first entered the mansion."

"Master tried to coax me, she's a yellow-faced woman, how can she compare to the young girl who is so beautiful. It's not that I'm jealous, but I have to take care of myself anyway." Cao Jia said with a bit of resentment.

"Okay, don't talk about this, it's embarrassing to say it. I don't like to stay in other people's rooms, don't you have filial piety?" Na Ersu grabbed Cao Jia's hand, and said: "Hit you Marry in, how will I treat you, don't you know in your heart?"

Cao Jia's eye circles were already red, and she said softly, "I know I love you, but I just don't want to go so far away."

On Neersu's side, he couldn't help sighing when he thought about the trip and didn't know when he would come back.

Cao Jia felt a little bit reluctant to let him be like this, and said: "Fortunately, Fu Peng Shishi is like a little adult. With him at home, I have more backbones. You don't have to worry about the family, just take care of yourself. .”

Hearing the mention of the eldest son, Na Ersu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Fu Jin, after I leave, Fupeng Xu is going to enter the palace!"

"Entering the palace?" Cao Jiashi was puzzled: "Alright, what is Fu Peng doing in the palace? Greeting the emperor? Or..."

"Perhaps I want to be raised in the palace for a few years, and it's all about the emperor's grace." Na Ersu said lightly...
