Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 899 Blessing
Although Zhao Jia is used to Hongmei, she is old after all, and she doesn't want to delay her.Besides, Cao Fu had the intention of telling Hongmei to He Laoliu again. If his son insisted, she, as a mother, would not be able to argue with her son because of a girl.

Letting her old mother take her back to be a matchmaker, avoiding the marriage of He Lao Liu, is also considered to preserve the relationship between master and servant.

If Hongmei knew what was going on, she would kowtow to her head a few times and follow her mother out peacefully.Such crying and crying made Zhao Jia's heart unhappy.

In her heart, she thought of the words her son said a few days ago, "There are not many girls who are concubines in this house."

That's right, are there not many maidservants who are concubines in this mansion?

Precious butterflies and jadeites of the older generation, jade dragons, green chrysanthemums, and purple orchids of the younger generation.

Could it be that Hongmei also has the desire to climb high, and is determined to be an aunt, so she doesn't want to go back to marry someone?

Zhao Jia's previous reluctance dissipated, and her face drooped, staring at Hongmei.Thinking that in the past few years she has always been willing to run to Cao Xiang's courtyard when she has nothing to do, and often gossips about Chunhua and Luju in front of her, this intention is already obvious.

Zhao Jia's eyes turned cold, and he didn't mention the ten taels of silver that he planned to reward at this time. Looking at the gilt hairpin on Hongmei's head, he snorted coldly in his heart, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, Go down, and cry when you get on the sedan chair."

Hongmei has been serving her for many years, and she is not ignorant of her winks. Seeing her showing displeasure, she dared not be troublesome, knelt down sobbing, kowtowed a few times, and followed her mother down.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Jinghui and Suxin standing on the porch with their maids and mother-in-law.Hongmei's mother quickly took two steps, and bowed to greet the two grandmas.

Hongmei stared blankly, not knowing what to say.

Mrs. Mingming said that she would give her to Fifth Master, but in the end there was no movement.She still remembered the way Fifth Master looked at her, which was not completely heartless.

Could it be that Fifth Grandma was jealous?

However, Piansheng spread the word again, saying that the fifth grandma ordered people to clean up the west wing and wanted to take a concubine for the fifth master.

Hongmei was confused, unable to turn her head around.

When her mother saw that she had no rules, she was afraid that the two grandmothers would blame her, so she pleaded guilty and hurried away with her daughter.

Huitong and Suxin looked at each other, feeling a little puzzled.

Hongmei is the most important maid for her mother-in-law. Seeing what the wife meant, she appointed her to be a concubine, but she didn't know who she was referring to Cao Song and his brothers.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that her old mother would take her back to match her.

Because she was served by Mrs. Zhao Jia's side, Hongmei was usually very arrogant, and her popularity was not very good.Some people have made trouble for a long time, and after inquiring about Hongmei's mother's temperament of loving money, she can say anything.

Some said that Hongmei used to fill houses for landlords in the countryside, and some said that Hongmei was used as concubines for Shanxi businessmen.

As for why Zhaojia's family allowed Hongmei's mother to marry outside, there is really no way.She really wanted to be a matchmaker for Hongmei, and said that she would be the daughter-in-law of the big housekeeper, but the big housekeeper dared not agree.

It is true that Hongmei's reputation is too high, and everyone in the whole family treats her as a future aunt.The butler doesn't want to offend any master because of a girl.

Besides, although Mrs. Zhaojia is his wife, the second grandmother is the head of the house.Even if it's really for his son's future, he should ask for the girl next to Second Mistress.

This person likes to think wildly whenever he has doubts.

Since Mrs. Zhaojia believed his son's words and decided that Hongmei was "hiding a traitor", she was not so keen on a girl as a concubine.

When the two daughters-in-law came to pay their respects, she warned them solemnly, just to let them hold on to the master's score, and not to be too kind to the servants.If there is any uneasiness, dismiss it early, so as not to worry people.

After hearing this, Jinghui was really speechless.

Without Zhao Jia's great backer behind her, even if the maid wanted to climb the master's bed, she wouldn't have the guts.

Su Xin's heart moved, thinking of the recent rumors in the mansion, Hongmei's leaving the mansion, or her husband's "hard work" every night, she didn't know whether it was sadness or joy...

Rehe, outside the Summer Resort.

Not long after Cao Yonghou met, he saw Elder Brother Sixteen hurrying over.

"Finally looking forward to you... If Fu doesn't come again, I will be bored..." The moment he saw Cao Yong, the joy on Brother Sixteen's face was undoubtedly revealed.

Cao Yong looked at Elder Sixteen's slightly clear face, but he was a little worried, and said: "I haven't seen you in ten months, how did Elder Sixteen become clearer? Is this sick?"

Elder Sixteen waved his hand and said: "No, just a few days ago I had stomach discomfort and quit meat for a few days. Now it's good, and I don't feel my stomach is full when I run around occasionally."

Seeing that Cao Yong was still standing respectfully, he said: "I just asked, Huang Ama took a nap. The summer is exhausting, and Huang Ama won't wake up until Shen Chu ([-] o'clock in the afternoon). There are few people in the afternoon, you Or is it serious to hand out the sign tomorrow morning. Have you just arrived in Rehe? Have you had lunch yet? My lord treats you to wine."

Cao Yong didn't eat, and he had a lot to ask Elder Sixteen, so the two came down to the villa together.

Because he felt that there was chaos outside, Cao Yong still didn't let the sixteenth elder brother throw away the money, and the two went back to Cao's other courtyard together.

After Cao Yong arrived at the other courtyard, the kitchen here has already prepared the next meal.

For a while, Cao Yong and sixteen elder brothers sat in the gazebo by the garden.

Here, with a wide view, it is a good place to speak.

"I thought you wouldn't arrive until later in the month. How is Seventh Brother's injury?" Sixteenth Brother asked with some concern.

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "Although there is no danger of life, but if the bones are broken, I am afraid that I will have to lie in bed for a year and a half before I can recover. Whether I can walk or not is another matter. I have sent people south to find Fang Zhonggong. I hope my father-in-law's legs and feet will be better."

This is not a lie. After all, Brother Qi is middle-aged and has osteoporosis. This leg injury is more serious than planned.Because of Cao Yong's repeated questioning about this point, the imperial physician mentioned it veiledly.

After all, no one dared to take the risk and tell in advance that Brother Qi might become paralyzed or something.

Unexpectedly, such an accident would happen, and Cao Yong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

If Seventh Brother knew that his love for his son was exchanged, maybe he would be bedridden for the rest of his life, would he still make such a choice?
People are unpredictable.

Cao Yong didn't want this kind of fatherly heart to turn into endless remorse due to the torment of illness and paralysis.

If that's the case, what Brother Seven hates the most at that time, except for his eldest son Hong Shu, who he tried his best to preserve, is Cao Yong, the instigator.

Elder Sixteen can see the reports from the Imperial Hospital. He only knows that Elder Seven's injury is "stable" and "getting better". He just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Seeing Cao Yong's worried face, he hurriedly said: "Seventh brother looks like a blessed man, so don't worry too much about Fu Ruo."

Cao Yong nodded, remembering the request for "peace talks" by Brother Fourteen, he said: "By the way, how did you hear that Brother Fourteen is going back to Beijing?"

Hearing this, Brother Sixteen raised his eyebrows and said: "Isn't it? I have been a general for several years, if I don't come back to show off, wouldn't it be a night walk in brocade clothes? I heard that the concubine De is busy, Choose the emperor's grandson Fujin for Hongming. The emperor has always been favored by the emperor, and it is not uncommon to allow him to come back to attend his son's wedding."

I was afraid that the sixteenth elder brother would be involved with the fourteenth elder brother because of the fifteenth elder brother. Seeing him like this, Cao Yong was relieved.

The two of them drank a pot of lotus white wine while talking about the details of the month after the farewell.

Cao Yong couldn't help but smile when he heard the joy of the sixteenth elder brother's tour of the temple, the encounter with the fourth elder brother, and the "like-mindedness" of the two brothers.

"The sixteenth master has changed his temper. He took the sixteenth master to go before. The sixteenth master is not rare?" Cao Yong said with a smile.

Brother Sixteen glanced at him, and said: "Master finally understands why my uncle sent Fu Ruo to the Buddhist hall in the early years, and why the fourth brother made the gesture of eating fast and reciting Buddha. The Buddhist room is clean, and if he wants to plot against others, his brain is more serious." Qingming."

Unexpectedly, it was this answer, Cao Yong curiously asked: "Who offended Master Sixteen?"

The sixteenth elder brother picked up the wine cup, took a sip, but acted like a fool, and said leisurely: "Could it be that the master is a stingy person who must be repaid? Whoever said that it is a scheme, even if it hurts someone, and you are not happy to repay your virtue with virtue." '."

Speaking of the last word "Germany", Elder Sixteen gritted his teeth a little bit, the hatred in his eyes was no longer concealed.

Cao Yong is not a stupid person. Seeing Elder Sixteen's emotional agitation, he filled him with wine and said, "What brother said has something to do with that person in Yonghe Palace?"

Because this involves the pain of the sixteenth elder brother's bereavement, Cao Yong also took a little care.

Brother Sixteen said with a gloomy face, "She doesn't have the guts to murder the emperor's grandson. It's just that Mrs. Li is usually a coward. If no one encouraged her, she would never have such a vicious heart. She is always pretending to be a good person. I also searched privately for two years before I found some clues. I am a prince with no title and no power, and she will not take me seriously. The only reason for instigating Li's trouble is because I, Fujin, belong to Yifei. Niece, she is just happy to watch the fun."

When Cao Yong heard this, he was surprised. He really didn't expect Concubine De to be involved in the housework of Brother Sixteen.

Maybe she is not as vicious as Brother Sixteen thinks, after all, everything has a cause and effect.As the head of the harem, with a high position and authority in the court, if it is just to fight against Concubine Yi, it would be unreasonable to bother to plan this.

However, Cao Yong did not argue with the sixteenth elder brother.

The human heart is like this, and it is always unwilling to admit its faults.Li Shi is the first woman of the sixteenth elder brother, and also the mother of his eldest son. The two have been in love for more than ten years, and their friendship cannot be erased with a single sentence.

It is much more comfortable to believe that Concubine De has an "evil heart" than regretting that she is "sightless".

"Anyway, she is the mother of the two princes and elder brothers. Even if the sixteenth master is upset, don't show her whereabouts... The fourteenth master is fine, and the fourth master, it's better not to have any suspicions..." Said At this point, he lowered his voice and said: "That one is not young anymore, Brother Sixteen, please stay calm."

If he remembered correctly, this concubine De concubine was not a long-lived person, not long after Kangxi passed away, she also passed away.

The unofficial history of later generations also said that she refused to be the queen mother because her youngest son lost the throne, and Kangxi committed suicide by bumping into a pillar.

It's all novelist's words, you can't believe it.However, it is not uncommon for an elderly man in his 60s to die in depression after his husband passed away and his youngest son was imprisoned.

"Don't worry, Fu Ruo, I didn't do anything, I just waited and watched the excitement. Although I hate it in my heart, I'm not so confused that I want to tear my face apart." Elder Sixteen said.

Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother has a sense of propriety, Cao Yong didn't say anything more.

After his sons passed away one after another, Elder Sixteen's mood has been depressed, so it's good to let off steam...

*
The capital, the imperial palace, the elder brother's residence, and the sixteenth elder brother's residence.

Sixteen Fujin's eyes were red, and the room was gloomy.

Fourteen Fujin and Seventeen Fujin were by the side, seeing her like this, they didn't know how to persuade her.If it is said that in the Fujin family of the clan, the sixteenth Fujin and the sixteenth elder brother Qinse are compatible, and people have always been envied.

But no matter how loving the husband and wife are, the relationship between the children is weak, and three little elder brothers have been lost in a row.

Now, could this half-year-old Little Gege also be unable to stand up?

After this little Gege was born, he has not stopped taking the medicine, and at the beginning of the year he even contracted lung carbuncle.Although the imperial physician didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that this little Gege didn't live a long life, but no one dared to tell Sixteen Elder Brother and Sixteen Fujin.

Although Sixteen Fujin was worried about her daughter, she didn't have any reason to hold her husband and prevent him from serving as an errand.I thought that after the winter and spring, little Gege would be half a year old and his body would be stronger.

Unexpectedly, since the sixteenth elder brother left Beijing, little Gege's lung abscess would occur.Babies in swaddling clothes, in addition to crying, just "cough" non-stop.

In the cradle, half-year-old Little Gege's face was covered with bruises, and he rolled his eyes, looking like he was going to die.

The old doctor with white beard and hair was already sweating, and said: "Sixteen Fujin, Little Gege is stuck with phlegm, it's about to make people suck out the phlegm of Little Gege, if it's too late..."

The fourteenth Fujin and the seventeenth Fujin all changed their faces when they heard the danger.

Sixteen Fujin didn't intend to look for anyone. He took a step forward, picked up his daughter, lowered his head, and sucked out a mouthful of thick phlegm from his daughter's mouth.

Little Gege came out in one breath, and began to cry loudly. Because of crying urgently, her face that was originally blue turned red.

Sixteen Fujin held her daughter in her arms, tears kept falling like beads with a broken thread.

Fourteen Fujin and Seventeen Fujin also had red eyes.

At this moment, little Gege was uncomfortable in her mother's arms, and started coughing again.

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Sixteen Fujin, it's better to put down Xiao Gege and let Xiao Gege lean on it."

Sixteen Fujin felt sorry for his daughter, so he hurriedly followed his words, using sandalwood Ruyi to prop up one end of the rocking cart, and put his daughter down.

Little Gege felt comfortable lying down, and stopped coughing, and gradually even the crying stopped, Xiaozui yawned, and fell asleep quietly.

Sixteen Fujin looked at his daughter greedily, stroked his chest, wiped away his tears, and led everyone to the outer hall.

"Emperor doctor, little Gege stopped having a fever this morning, do I need to change the prescription?" Sixteen Fujin asked.

"Since the fever is stopped, the antipyretic prescription can be stopped, and the cough-relieving prescription has to be used. I will write a prescription for clearing the lungs and clearing the fire." The old doctor replied with a bow.

Sixteen Fujin nodded, asked the servant to wrap the silver seal, and sent the old doctor out...

*
It was a few days after Brother Sixteen learned that his daughter was seriously ill.

However, what he received was not bad news, but a letter of good news from Sixteen Fujin.

The sixteenth Fujin in the letter was full of joy, Xiao Gege's lung abscess has gradually healed, and several imperial physicians have been invited to see it, and they all said that Xiao Gege's pulse has become stable, and after ten days of taking it, the medicine will stop.

The story of Elder Sixteen worshiping at every temple in Rehe has spread to Beijing, and Fujin Sixteen has also heard about it.She was very grateful for her husband's move.

She was deeply moved, thinking that the young girl's escape from death was all due to her husband's accumulated merits, so she also told her mother-in-law, and invited Empress Guanyin from the temple to enshrine...

Brother Sixteen took the letter, looked at the incense burner burning sandalwood on the desk, put away his usual frivolous heart, and murmured: "Blessings, Buddha bless..."

Finally, I was able to finish coding before 0:[-], and begged for a monthly pass in a low voice. .
