Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 850 Filial piety

Apparently these clansmen and dignitaries are not very interested in silk, dyes, etc. Not many people participated in the bidding, and it took only a quarter of an hour to sing the bid from the beginning to the end.

Many people didn't feel much when the song label's pen and post style shouted "60".After all, in the eyes of most people, whether it is 50 or 60, it is a sky-high price, and it is not something they can think about.

Cheng Mengkun's face became a little stiff. Although he knew that there would be no silk bid mixed with the clan present, he didn't dare to ask too much, and wrote a price of 55 yuan.

Unexpectedly, someone turned out to intercept this bid.

However, in the end it was the head of the Cheng family. When no one noticed, his expression had already calmed down.

But Prince Zhuang Boguoduo who was sitting next to him was a little annoyed. He had been friends with the Cheng family for several generations, and he had received a lot of filial piety from the Cheng family over the years.Just now, the three objects he photographed were also paid by Cheng Mengkun.

Cannibals have short mouths and soft hands, even the distinguished Boguoduo is no exception.

He has already begun to curse: "This is a little bastard who doesn't open his eyes...Xiao Cheng, don't worry, this king will call someone Sixteen Brothers. Isn't it just 60, and he didn't say which one... Biao, with this king here, let's see who dares to fight with you?"

What he said was righteous, and after he finished speaking, he ordered the steward of the palace who followed him to go out and invite Brother Sixteen to come over.

Cheng Mengkun couldn't bear the calmness, he lost his bid because of his own mistakes, and he couldn't blame others.If Ibogoduo is the real one, who knows who will be offended?
This was originally an auction by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All the posts were posted by clan relatives, and all the people who came were dignitaries. Which one has no backer?

Even if someone feared Prince Zhuang's mansion and gave up the bid, the enmity would be settled.

The master who can take out 60 taels of silver for a blend, the backer is weak.

At that time, even if no one dared to touch Boguoduo, it would not be easy to trip up the Cheng family who had a great career.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Mengkun had already distinguished the importance, and hurriedly stood up and said to Bo Guoduo: "My lord loves you so much, I am so grateful. This time, the people who came here are all clan relatives, and the younger one is just here to see you. If you get it, you can take advantage of it. It's fine if you don't have anything. The Cheng family didn't make this business at first, but even if they got a shot, the little ones were worried about the sales."

Boguoduo spoke harshly, and he was also muttering in his heart, which royal residence Baylor Mansion is so rich.If they were really clan relatives, it would be either Jiubeizi's Mansion or Prince Jian's Mansion. Both of them are his nephews and nephews by name, but they are not soft characters.

Since the favor was sold, Boguoduo naturally had nothing to do.

In addition to being greedy for money, he is also considered half-human.Seeing Cheng Mengkun's interest, I felt a little embarrassed, took his arm and said, "It's good that you don't get offended, it just so happens that this king got two jars of good wine, let's go back and have a good drink today..."

On Cao Yong's side, seeing Wang Lusheng photographed the silk, everyone was happy for him.

When Wang Lusheng went to Beijing, he brought only his adopted son Guo Quanyou, and several strong men with him.Because I came out with the thirteenth elder brother and Cao Yong, those long followers didn't follow, only Guo Quan was there.

After singing the bid, Guo Quanyou picked up the curtain, and handed over to the pen post style.

After a while, the bids for the coarse cloth with a base price of 8 taels of silver were also opened, and the winning bid amount was the base price, which was the price offered by Brother Thirteen.

The thirteenth brother heard the words, his face became a smile, he waved his hand, and sent the manager out to handle the handover.

There were footsteps outside, and the ups and downs of greeting each other, presumably the clan had already started to leave.

The private rooms are all temporarily separated, Cao Yong and the others didn't want to be troublesome, so they all turned off their voices.

When the sound from outside the curtain gradually subsided, Cao Yong put down his teacup and asked, "Master Thirteen, this cloth has been photographed, what is your plan?"

Brother Thirteen heard the words, smiled wryly and said: "Plans? I don't have any plans. I just think that these cloths are from the Ministry of Households and pledged to raise money for the national treasury. If the cloths cannot be auctioned because of these cloths, it will affect the Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Here, it is related to the inner treasury. I am also a son, even if I can't share my father's worries like others, even if the family property is dispersed, I will always be filial..."

Cao Yong was quite moved after hearing this.

Cao Yong knew the future of the thirteenth elder brother. He was the assistant prince. Among his sons, besides the son of the prince, he was also named a county king. He was the most prominent person in the Yongzheng Dynasty.But others don't know, and Brother Thirteen himself doesn't know either.

Right now, he is just a prince without a noble, who is idle in the clan.The next-door royal residence, Baylor Mansion, will not plan for elder brothers, because clan elder brothers, when they reach the age, will ask for titles, and the house and property are arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so no one has to worry about it.

Brother Thirteen is special.He fell out of favor with Kangxi, and he was not conferred a title at the end of the year, let alone the little elder brothers of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

In this way, if you marry a woman, you must prepare money yourself.

8 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount for Brother Thirteen.

Although Cao Yong used the name of borrowing money to push the Taihu bead field to Elder Brother Shisan, but the recipes for raising pearls had been released for several years at that time. The price was pushed down.

Besides, raising pearls is easy and easy to say, but difficult to say.It is easy to produce pearls from an oyster, but it is difficult to produce good pearls.

Cao Yong made money back then because he was the only one, so he thought he used Zheng Woxue.Zheng Woxue was born in a pearl-raising family, and she has a good eye for identifying clams and distinguishing pearls, which is not something outsiders can imitate.

The bead field is in the hands of the thirteenth elder brother, Zheng Woxue is also in the thirteenth elder brother's house, but he is in Beijing, and has never been involved in the bead field.Even if the Zhuchang has made profits in recent years, it is not as rich as the Cao family.

Besides, in order to seek asylum in Nanyang Commercial Road, Wang Lusheng divided [-]% of the [-]% of the business shares in the auction to the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.The thirteenth elder brother declined, and finally collected some money to make a name, but he was only willing to accept [-]% of the shares.

Because of these two reasons, even if Brother Thirteen has made some profits in the past few years, the total amount is limited.

The 8 taels of silver, if not all of the savings, are almost the same.

Cao Yong knows the root and the bottom, how can he not be moved.

Compared with Cao Yong, there is another person who is standing outside the curtain, Kangxi.

Because Boguoduo had previously cut off the bid, he felt a little unhappy, and wanted to leave, but then he stopped when he heard a few bids on the list.

The base price is 22, 50, [-]. Even if you are an emperor, you don't regard these as small sums.

Jia En Eight Banners rewarded [-] cotton-padded clothes, which was only tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This person is old and has a childlike mentality.Kangxi himself had a tight life, and naturally he felt uncomfortable hearing that other people were so rich, and wanted to know who it was.

It's okay if the net worth is clean, and if another person like Boguoduo comes out, Kangxi doesn't mind "enhancing" and pouring money into the treasury.

So, he sent someone to spread the word to Elder Sixteen, and learned that except for the dye mark that had been lost, the remaining two marks were from Jiashen's private room.

I'm not afraid of people leaving, because Brother Sixteen has tampered with it and told his subordinates to go through the formalities slowly.

When he saw the word "Jiashen", Elder Sixteen also felt weird.He remembered clearly that the invitations starting with "Jiashen" and "Jiashen" were sent to Thirteenth Brother's residence, and he also knew that Thirteenth Brother had no intention of coming.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother said that they were planning to come and have a look, but they were stopped by Wei Zhu.

Wei Zhu is the head of the Qianqing Palace, No. 1 in front of the imperial court, he is here, who is he?
Undoubtedly, the two brothers went to Kangxi's private room again, please greet them.

Kangxi didn't get up until the outsiders left, and brought his children and grandchildren to the "Jiashen" private room.Unexpectedly, he walked to the door of the private room and heard Cao Yong's question.

Brother Thirteen's answer was not very impassioned, on the contrary, there was a bit of bitterness and helplessness, but it hit Kangxi's heart like a hammer.

This is his son, who has been cold for more than ten years, and still thinks of himself as a "son of man" and filial piety.

Kangxi only felt that his eye sockets were hot, and his body staggered.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother followed behind Kangxi, seeing that something was wrong, they hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Huang Ama!"

Hong Ming was also surprised: "Huang Mafa..."

There was an instant silence in the private room, Brother Thirteen looked at the curtain with a bit of confusion in his eyes.I'm afraid he just thought he was hallucinating.

In this world, whether it is called "Huang Ama" or "Huang Mafa", there is only one person.How could that person appear in the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Forbidden City and the Qianqing Palace?

Cao Yong had woken up, stood up, opened the curtain, and faced Kangxi.

Kangxi's eyes fell on Cao Yong, jumped over Cao Yong, and landed on the thirteen elder brothers sitting behind him.

The last time we met was in Tangquan Zhuangzi, when Kangxi ordered this son to "rest and recuperate".

Isn't it rest?Why does his complexion look darker, skinny and naked?

This father and son looked at each other, it was okay for Kangxi to lose his composure, but it would be a crime of disrespect if the thirteenth elder brother refused to get up again.

Cao Yong was anxious in his heart, so he could only kneel down with a "plop", and said loudly: "Cao Yong, the minister, has seen the emperor, please kowtow to the emperor Jinan."

The thirteenth elder brother woke up now, hurriedly got up and knelt down: "My son Yinxiang has seen Huang Ama, please give Huang Ama peace."

Although Wang Lusheng next to him had never seen Kangxi, but he didn't understand what Cao Yongtong and the thirteenth brother said, so he also knelt down and didn't dare to raise his head again.

Kangxi took a step forward, entered the private room, first helped Cao Yong, and asked: "I know you can't be idle, come and watch the excitement? Now I can feel at ease. Brother Sixteen is a good way. It seems that the bank can It can also be maintained.”

Cao Yong screamed in his heart that he was wronged. He was not interested in joining in the fun. He was pulled here temporarily, but Kangxi had already given a conclusion, so he couldn't talk about Brother Thirteen's right and wrong. The minister has something to do with it, and the minister is somewhat concerned."

Kangxi nodded, seeing his eyes became more gentle, and asked a few more casual questions.

Cao Yong saw that the thirteenth elder brother and Wang Lusheng were still kneeling on the ground, and Kangxi didn't mean to call out, so he quickly winked at the sixteenth elder brother.

Brother Sixteen stood behind Kangxi, took a step forward, and said, "Emperor Ama should sit down first, and I have some good tea cakes with me, so people will serve tea."

Kangxi nodded, took a few steps forward, sat in the middle, and said: "Get up." After speaking, he pointed to the thirteenth elder brother and said to the sixteenth elder brother, "Help up."

The sixteenth elder brother slandered endlessly in his heart. Was Huang Ama too unkind? He could help Cao Yong when he knelt down, but the thirteenth elder brother was so indifferent.

He didn't know that it wasn't that Kangxi didn't want to go forward to help his son, but that he was too timid to go forward.

The thirteenth elder brother knelt down and kowtowed, revealing the gray braid, which hurt Kangxi's old eyes.

Those gray braids and hunched figure, those who don't know him will definitely think that he is an old man in sixties.

This is his favorite prince, and this is his little pony, which has become like this.

Even the eldest brother and the second elder brother who have been trapped for more than ten years have not ended up like this.Those two sons have been banned since they were in the circle, and Kangxi has never seen them once, but the records of the Tongtai Hospital of the Clan Mansion will not be fake.

After all, it is his son, Kangxi will not wrong them, food and drink, wine and beauty, can't leave them behind.Those two didn't disappoint him either, they were so drunk that they couldn't walk, Little Elder Brother and Little Gege jumped out one by one.

Even if they can't contribute to the Qing Dynasty, the two of them have fulfilled the responsibility of Aixinjueluo's descendants to reproduce their offspring.

Why, only his old thirteen lost his anger,

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother supported the thirteenth elder brother together, but the thirteenth elder brother lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head.

As if in a dream, Elder Brother Thirteen felt his mind was blank, and at some point, his chest was full of tears.

Elder Sixteen was smart, and already saw something was wrong, he waved Wang Lusheng and Xiao Man to leave quietly.

Cao Yong also wanted to withdraw, but Hong Xi and Hong Ming stood beside him, blocking his way.Seeing Cao Yong raised his head, Hong Ming showed his small white teeth and called out, "Brother-in-law!"

The appearance is very pure, the eyes are very innocent, and the voice is clear and clear, which attracted Kangxi to look at the door.

Seeing this, Cao Yong could only bite the bullet, bowed to Hongxi and Hongming and said: "I have seen the two elder brothers."

These two are the grandsons of the emperor, and they are different from Cao Yong.

At this moment, Brother Thirteen has secretly tried tears.

Kangxi looked at the people in front of him, the beloved princes, the two favorite grandchildren, and his... grandson-in-law...

He coughed softly and said, "Sit down."

Although I told everyone, the seats in this room are limited, there are only four stools.

In the end, only the thirteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother sat down.The rest of Cao Yong and the two young elder brothers stood by and accompanied them because they were inferior in seniority.

If it weren't for the weird atmosphere, Cao Yong would have to stand up and say his resignation.

Originally, when the father, son and grandson talked, he stood aside, really uncomfortable.

Kangxi looked fine, but Cao Yong still remembered Kangxi's eyes when he just jumped open the curtain.

That look, Cao Yong is no stranger.In the early years, the old lady, Cao Yin and his wife, and later Mr. Zhuang all looked at Cao Yong with this kind of eyes.It was kindness from the bottom of my heart, and it was an expression of true feelings.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong was relieved.It seems that Brother Thirteen is about to unfreeze.

For a while, Cao Yong felt a little nervous.

What the hell is history?
Was the thirteenth elder brother promoted after the fourth elder brother ascended the throne, or did he leave the mountain before the fourth elder brother ascended the throne, and made contributions to the fourth elder brother's ascension to the throne, so he was rewarded heavily...

However, Cao Yong is not a person who likes to disturb himself.

If you can't figure it out, just wait and see how it gets better.

Whether or not good intentions are rewarded, even if all savings are lost, but the father and son have a chance to reconcile, it is considered the thirteenth elder brother's blessing...
