Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 882 The doorman (seeking a guaranteed monthly ticket)

The "Third Master" that Sun said was Li Xu's old son, whose nickname was "Hundred Years Old".In fact, it was Miaoyun who came from it, but only the masters of the Li family knew about this secret. In the eyes of the servants, this "third master" came from the master's outer room.

Since he fell into the ranks, his body and bones are not as strong as ordinary children, and he has always been fed with supplements such as ginseng and deer antler.Since the beginning of winter, he has been taking medicine to support him.

Although it is said to be a concubine, but because of Li Xu's doting, no one dares to neglect this "Third Master". He is better than the young masters of the third generation of the Li family.

In Gao Taijun's eyes, this "hundred-year-old" is a son born against the rules of ethics, so he will not wait to see him, but he can't help frowning when he hears Sun's saying that he died.

"Okay, why did you die?" Gao Taijun said: "I'm an idle old woman, what can I do? The master is not comfortable, hurry up and ask the doctor to look at it?"

Sun's tears were already coming out, she stepped forward to support Gao Taijun's arm and said: "Second old lady, you should go and have a look. Just before the master fainted, he took a sword and wanted to kill his wife and uncle... Let's just say they killed them The third master... Our master is not in a hurry to dodge, he has already been hit on the arm..."

After Gao Taijun heard this, he couldn't sit still, so he quickly got off the kang and followed Mrs. Sun out.

Li Nai has a generous temperament and has always been the most filial to the elders in his family.During his lifetime, Wen Taijun loved his eldest grandson the most.

Even if it is not for others, for the sake of the deceased Wen Taijun, Gao Taijun cannot stand by.

On the way, she also asked Mrs. Sun why: "Your master is still not confused, how could you kill people for nothing?"

Sun choked up and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know either. It's just that the master asked about the third master's body, and also looked at the medicine residue that the third master had used before. He said that the wife was mean to her family, and she scolded our master for bad intentions..."

One sentence of this sentence, one sentence of another, Gao Taijun was confused when he heard it.But she knew that although Mrs. Wang was stingy, she would not murder a concubine; Li Nai was not someone who could not tolerate younger brothers, otherwise he would not have searched for two nephews back.

"You bastard, are you really old and confused..." Gao Taijun couldn't think of a reason, so he could only scold Li Xu in his heart.

Although Gao Taijun is not a doctor, he is Li Xu's elder.

When Li Xu woke up leisurely and wanted to have an attack on his wife and children, he was stopped by Mr. Gao.

"Outsiders haven't hacked and killed them. Are they going to use their own family? You only have a son in your eyes, and you forgot about your mother? You are not only a father, but also a son. Today is the old lady's 'Two Seven', You are a son, you are so filial!?" Gao Taijun raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and shouted loudly.

After all, Li Xu is getting old, and he has worked hard for half a month for his mother's funeral, and now he is shaking standing up.After being scolded by Gao Taijun, there was no reason to argue, but he just stared at Wang Shi and Li Nai fiercely.

Mrs. Wang knew that if she didn't make it clear today, she wouldn't be able to please her in the future. With a "plop", she knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, my concubine has been with the master all my life. I don't know who it is." What? If the concubine has a dark heart and has the intention of harming others, so that the concubine will suffer a terrible death..."

She cried miserably. Li Nai couldn't bear to listen to the injury on his shoulder. He knelt down and said, "Father, it's all the son's fault. Don't do the wife's business. If you want to beat or kill, the son has no complaints, just ask Father, don't get mad..."

In the final analysis, the reason why he died at the age of [-] was because of his weak body, and it was the ginseng he ate these days that contributed to the fire.

It's not that inferior ginseng is used to replace good ginseng, but good ginseng is used as medicine to make a big difference.

The top-quality ginseng in this medicine was brought back by Li Nai from outside the pass.

Li Xu wanted to slay his wife and children, but he was out of rage and venting his anger.

At this moment, after calming down, he squatted on the edge of the kang, wheezing and wheezing, as if he was ten years older...

Compared with the turmoil of the Li family, the Cao Mansion in the capital is much more peaceful.

Although Mrs. Li was sad for a few days, after all, relatives are relatives, and she has to live her life.It is about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and there are many things to worry about to prepare for the New Year and filial piety.

As for Cao Yong and his wife, they were a little helpless about the matter of getting people to accept Gao Taijun, but they were helpless.Mrs. Li talked about it several times a day, looking forward to it earnestly. It's hard to talk about the two of them, it's better not to come, or something.

Before I knew it, it was the twelfth lunar month, and it was snowing heavily, and the inside and outside of the capital was already covered in silver.

All Zhuangzi began to send interest and New Year's goods to the city, and the New Year's goods outside the customs had already arrived.

Cao's mansion saw Xiao Xiao, and this year's Spring Festival was finally able to liven up.Not to mention the other things, it is fireworks, and the Cao Mansion has bought a lot, waiting to be released on New Year's Eve.

In a blink of an eye, on December [-]th, Cao Yong's guard system expired.

The so-called "three years" of keeping filial piety is actually cutting off the head and tail. When the anniversary is burned this year, even in the third year, the green cloth clothes can be removed, but the black head rope will be tied for a few months afterwards.

Now that it is 27 months, it is the expiration of Ding You's Shou system.

This is catching up with the twelfth lunar month again, Cao Yong has to visit relatives and friends, greet and see off, but he is very busy.

At Li's house in Suzhou, news finally came out that Li Xu was on leave for a hundred days to take care of the funeral.Now that it has been "false", Ding You can't be involved.

The fourth elder brother came to the stage, if he didn't take care of the Li family, who would he take care of?
For nothing else, even if there is room for the new emperor to reward the heroes, this gap in Suzhou weaving has to be vacated.

Now it will be Kangxi's 60th year, and Kangxi's life span is less than two years.

Cao Yong has been thinking about how to deal with the fourth elder brother after he really became an official in the household department.It is easy to resent when you are close, and it is easy to become unfamiliar when you are far away. There is really a problem of scale.

No matter what you think in your heart, the New Year's gift that should be given is still not missing.

Before this, Chu Yu had discussed with her husband whether they should add an extra gift to the annual ceremony between Nian Shi, the side Fujin of Prince Yong's residence, and his younger brother.One must know that the Prince Chuan Fujin and the favored Prince Chuan Fujin are by no means the same weight.

After being married for more than ten years, Chu Yu naturally knew that her husband had always been cautious about Prince Yong's residence, so she said so.

Nowadays, no one in Beijing knows that Nian Fang Fujin is the favorite of Prince Yong.

Cao Yong said to his wife: "The rituals of the Nian family are still the same. The rules of the younger elder brother are the same as those of the other elder brothers in Prince Yong's mansion. On the side of Sifujin, it will increase by [-]% compared with previous years... Don't worry about the Shufujin." neglected..."

This year, the Nian clan has not been prosperous for a few years, and there is a "General Nian" behind it, Cao Yong really doesn't want to make fun of it.

After Chu Yu heard this, she didn't think about anything else, she just thought her husband was generous.

These days, there are more icing on the cake and less charcoal in the snow.

Si Fujin is well known for being virtuous, and she is the original wife of the fourth elder brother, so her status is naturally stable, but as the main wife, looking at the concubine's prosperity, no matter how virtuous she is, she has her own sufferings.

Cao Yong's move, although it can't be called "sending charcoal in the snow", can also make Si Fujin grateful.

The birthday gift for the family members is given in the name of Chuyu, and I don't want to do anything with Cao Yong.Even if Nian was worried, he couldn't pick Cao Yong.

If she has a grudge in her heart, it doesn't matter if she says a few more words about the badness of the Cao family.Because a family with a good relationship in the same year is labeled as a "party of the year", it will end miserably.

The fourth elder brother saw it, but he could understand that the Cao family did not intend to curry favour.

Kill three birds with one stone, Cao Yong is happy not to violate it.

Inside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's Mansion, side hall.

The waiter here served tea, bowed his head and retreated, feeling very surprised.If I heard correctly, I heard the master's laughter just now.

As soon as he retreated to the door, he heard another burst of laughter from the living room, but it wasn't the fourth elder brother's.

The boy didn't dare to look up at the fourth elder brother, but he sneaked a glance at the guests sitting on the seat.He was a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face, wearing mended clothes, and his body was very burly.

Walking to the door, the young man was still wondering, who was it that could make his master smile.

In the living room, the person sitting was none other than Li Wei, the fifth-rank doctor of the household department.Sitting beside him was Dai Jin, an aide of the palace.

This is not the first time he has been in and out of Prince Yong's mansion, he followed his colleagues to greet him for a few days and gave him several gifts.

He has always been careless, but he also knows how to watch people order dishes.

The same is the prince elder brother, he dares to joke with the sixteenth elder brother, but he dare not be presumptuous in front of the fourth elder brother.

As a young doctor, he doesn't know how capable the fourth elder brother is. He only knows that the fourth elder brother is a figure Cao Yong respects.

In the past two years, in the household department, he has seen the diligence and ruthlessness of the fourth elder brother, and his words and deeds have become more respectful.

You know, Li Wei has always been unrestrained and unrestrained, and he is a person who opposes the county king.

The fourth elder brother was worried that he didn't know the rules and could not be used. After all, he was not from a real brand, but a donated official.But seeing him not sticking to small details with others, but behaved well in front of himself, the fourth elder brother was very upset.

Cao Yong's recovery is imminent, and the fourth elder brother is not as honest as before to Li Wei.

After going back and forth, the two gradually became acquainted.

Today, the fourth elder brother found a reason to send Li Wei, and at first he said that he was an errand from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After listening to the fourth elder brother finishing his official business, Dai Jin raised a private matter beside him, saying: "I heard that Mr. Li's family members are not in Beijing. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, and the days are deserted."

Li Wei couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said: "Hey, it's all bad luck for being an official. I originally thought that after the yamen was sealed, I would go back to my hometown in Xuzhou for the New Year. I didn't expect that this year the yamen will arrange for an official to be on leave, and I want to beg someone to change shifts." No way. I don’t know which lord thinks that the lower officials are not pleasing to the eyes, so they call the lower officials by name..."

When the fourth elder brother heard this, his expression became a little stiff.There are several officials in the household department, old and new, who will pay attention to Li Wei, a little doctor.

It was none other than the fourth elder brother who "tormented" Li Wei.The reason is not that Li Wei is not pleasing to the eye, but that he is "pleasing to the eye".

Dai Jin knew the details, so he felt amused, cleared his throat, and said: "It's not easy for Mr. Li to be alone in Beijing, and he should find a caring person to take care of him."

Li Wei looked at Kuwei, but his mind was the most clever, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to protect himself after fighting with the county king.

After Dai Jinlian said a few words, he already understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but look up at the fourth elder brother.

The smile on Brother Si's face had froze. He squinted his eyes and looked at Li Wei.

Li Wei's heart was excited, and he forced a smile on his face, and said: "I wanted to find a suitable concubine, but the yamen was busy with errands, so I couldn't take care of it, so I randomly bought two maids to serve. If Mr. Dai has a suitable candidate, the lower officials will give Mr. Dai a big red envelope to thank the matchmaker."

Dai Jin glanced at the fourth elder brother sitting on the seat, kept him calm, and said with a smile: "I have a niece who works by Fujin's side, and now it's the age to be released. As an uncle, I want to give it to you." My niece is looking for a good marriage."

Li Wei was stunned when he heard this.

Although his family is a country gentry from out of town, he has lived in the Cao Mansion for a few years, so he naturally knows the rules of the big families in the capital.The maids around the mistress, if they are not the housekeepers for the master, are the confidantes of the mistress, and sometimes they are more important than the housekeepers outside...

Such maids are rarely married outside.

Let’s just say that the maidservants around Grandma Cao’s house are all married to Cao Yong’s confidantes...
