Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 901 "Intoxicated"

Since Si Fujin gave orders, Niu Gulu's family would naturally act obediently, saying: "Fujin, how about adding some gold and silver wares? It's decent and affordable. Although it is granted the imperial seal, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also buy some, but according to Dagege's There are also countless things to be knighted."

Si Fujin nodded, thought for a while and said: "That's the way to do it. It's just that the accounts in the mansion are not rich. Since one place was used too much, it must be saved in other places. You make a note, I will change seasons this autumn Clothes are saved, so that the money in the account can be evened out."

Speaking of this, she sighed, and said: "I knew that Da Gege's title was so low. In three months, Er Gege and Ji, the etiquette should be more important."

Niu Gulu knows that she is afraid of the thirteen Fujin's pranks, after all, Da Gege is a concubine, not raised by the Thirteen Fujin.Da Gege's biological mother is also the prince's side Fujin, the mother of the eldest son and daughter of the thirteen elder brothers.

"Fujin is too worried. I want to save face for Lord Thirteen. Thirteenth Fujin can only thank Fujin for being good." Niu Gulu said with a smile: "As for saving clothes, please ask Fujin to save face for slaves, and save the slaves' share too. . Fujin knows about slaves, and has never liked those new clothes. The ones that were cut in previous years are still under the bottom of the box and have no upper body."

Si Fujin shook his head, and said: "I can save it, but you can't. You are still young, and it's time to tidy it up. If you can add another little elder brother to you, you will be happy."

In one sentence, Niu Gulu blushed and said: "Look at what Fujin said, the servants are all thirty..."

Hearing this, Sifu Jin was a little taken aback.

Yes, she always felt that Niu Gulushi was still young, watching her grow up slowly from a cardamom girl, and now even Niu Gulushi is thirty.

Ever since Nian Shi entered the mansion, Prince Yong's Mansion has never entered newcomers. These wives and concubines are not young anymore, only Nian Shi is in the prime of his life, won the favor of the fourth elder brother, and has been pregnant one after another over the years.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Niu Gulu felt a little uneasy.She is also the daughter of a Manchurian family, but because her father is an offshoot and her prospects are limited, she is accused of being admitted to Si Age's House, which is the lowest status of "gege".

She is very self-aware, even if she hopes to be favored by her husband in her heart, she never dares to give birth to other thoughts.

For Si Fujin, she is more careful than when she served Si Age.Even the new daughter-in-law of someone else's family is nothing more than serving her mother-in-law.

The room was silent, the wife and concubine had their own thoughts, and when the maid came to report, the fourth elder brother sent someone back, saying that there was an errand to be busy, and told Si Fujin not to wait for his dinner, but to use it for himself.

Hearing this, Si Fujin showed a bit of worry, and said to Niu Gulu: "My lord has a bad stomach these days, the imperial doctor told me earlier, I must not go hungry."

Niu Gulu also knew about this and agreed with him.

In the end, Si Fujin ordered someone to order the kitchen, packed food boxes, and sent someone to the official office...

Not to mention the gossip between wives and concubines in Prince Yong's garden, at the moment Cao Yong couldn't hold back his smile, and even used a lot for dinner.

Because Chu Yu was sitting on the other side of the dining table.

Chu Yu arrived at noon, and Wu Sheng wanted to send someone to the government office to tell Cao Yong immediately, but Chu Yu stopped him.

As a result, when Cao Yong Luoya came back, he was really pleasantly surprised.

When Chu Yu arrived, he first asked Le Xia and Le Qing about their diet and daily life.

Hearing that her husband often stays up late recently and eats very little food, Chu Yu became a little worried.After asking again and again, she was relieved when she knew that her husband had no other discomfort.

Knowing that her husband is the most picky eater, and afraid that the menu these days might not suit her appetite, Chu Yu cooks for herself, making a few side dishes, as well as noodles with fried sauce.

When Cao Yong came back, everything was ready.

The red vegetarian fried sauce, the green shredded cucumber, the pink shredded radish, and the yellow bean sprouts are all put together, which makes people's index fingers move.

All of a sudden, Cao Yong was aware of his gastrointestinal motility.

"I thought you only arrived at the beginning of June, why didn't you tell someone to go to the yamen to tell me, so I can come back earlier?" Food is in front of, although Cao Yong has a big appetite, but the husband and wife still have home affairs to talk about.

"My wife is worried that my son-in-law is out alone, and urged me to come here as soon as possible." Chu Yu replied while picking out noodles, put away the fried sauce and vegetables, and sent them to Cao Yong.

Long ago, Lechun threw a towel, Cao Yong took it and wiped his hands, and began to eat noodles.

After staying up for several nights in a row, people lost their appetite. The noodles, with fresh vegetables and vegetable sauce, just fit Cao Yong's appetite.

After eating three bowls in a row, Cao Yong felt that his stomach was in a panic, so Cao Yong put down his chopsticks.

Le Chun and Le Xia led the people to remove the table, and Cao Yong asked a few more questions about the capital.

Wen Taijun was buried on May [-]th. On the side of Cao's mansion, Li accompanied Gao Taijun, and Cao Fu took Tianyou and Hengsheng to follow.On May [-]th, Li Xu left Beijing and returned to the south.

Cao Yong frowned when his wife mentioned that Bafu Jin sent people to Cao's mansion to give gifts and asked Chuyu to come and talk.

He didn't expect that even if the eighth elder brother died, the Li family would still be related to the eighth elder brother's mansion.

This He Zhuo is the teacher of Eighth Brother, a hardcore Eighth Master Party.Eighth Prince's reputation as a "virtuous king" was promoted by He Zhuo, a master of Confucianism, among scholars.

"Didn't it mean that Banner Han didn't get married? How could the He family marry the Li family?" Cao Yong didn't know much about marriage, so he was a little confused.

Although there are many Han concubines in the major palaces in the capital, the identities of wives and concubines are different.Wife is getting married, concubine is buying sex.

After all, Chu Yu is a woman, and she knows more about this marriage, so she replied, "What's so difficult about it? The two families will make a marriage agreement first, and then they will find adoptive parents for the girl from the He family to become naturalized, and they will agree to the regulations." , is not difficult."

Although He Zhuo was dismissed from office due to the involvement of the eighth elder brother, he is still studying in the Hall of Martial Arts, and his reputation still remains.

Li Xu did not marry a high-ranking official, but made his grandson Li Cheng the daughter of the He family, also because of He Zhuo's status in the Confucian scholars.In this way, it has something to do with the "Eight Lord Party".

Not to mention promoting his grandson's future, I'm afraid that even the Li family's road to revival will be blocked.

Although the world is hot and cold, if Li Cheng really has a wife and family to rely on, then he can have some hope after the house is ransacked.After all, he is still young, and any crimes committed by his father and grandfather cannot be blamed on him.

"It's really unlucky!" Cao Yong didn't even have the mood to gloat, and whispered something.

"What did the eunuch say?" Chu Yu didn't hear clearly, so he asked.

Cao Yong waved his hand and said: "Nothing else. This year, there are many princes and princes who follow, and there are also many Fujins who come with them. Since you are here, you must go to pay your respects one by one. Is there no shortage? Ask someone to send you bath water, and go early Rest?" At the end, his eyes lit up a little.

After all, he was a grown man, and he hadn't had anything to do with the bed for nearly a month. When he met his wife, it was a bit like "a little farewell is better than a newlywed".

Chu Yu's face became hot when her husband looked at her, but it was still bright outside, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she didn't dare to drag her husband into the room right now.

Thinking that her husband had just eaten three bowls of noodles, and his appetite was twice as much as usual, she said with a smile: "I have a rest in the afternoon, and I still have enough. If my son-in-law is not busy, please take a stroll in the garden with me. I haven't had a meal in a few years Come here, I don’t know how the plants and trees planted back then have been served.”

Cao Yong rubbed his belly, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll digest my food too."

At this time, it was already dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and the cool breeze was blowing, and I didn't feel the heat at all.

The husband and wife came to the garden side by side.

After seeing the two pomegranate trees planted that year, which were as tall as a person and covered with bright red flowers, Chu Yu couldn't help but stop and said with a smile: "Other families plant pomegranates in front of the courtyard, only the forehead is planted in the garden. .”

Speaking of this, Cao Yong took a bit of pride and said: "In other people's gardens, getting some exotic flowers and plants costs a lot of throwing away, and the service needs to be careful. In our garden, besides fruit trees and vegetables, there are also five grains. Miscellaneous grains, not only look fresh, but also affordable."

After hearing this, Chu Yu just laughed.

Usually at home, there are a lot of children, but now there are only two husband and wife, it is unavoidable to be a little deserted.

Not only Chuyu, the mother, but even Cao Yong, the father, misses the child: "God bless, they want to study, why didn't Tianhui bring it? I haven't seen our girl for a month, and I really panic. If she comes Yes, I'll take her to ride a horse to catch Leaping Rabbit."

Chu Yu can't say that her mother-in-law hopes that she will serve Cao Yong wholeheartedly and not let her worry about taking care of her daughter.

"Sister must be reluctant to let Tianhui come out again." Seeing that his wife did not speak, Cao Yong thought of Cao Jia and said with a smile: "Sister also loves Tianhui more than us parents, and wants Tianhui to be his daughter-in-law. When it comes time to pick a son-in-law in the future, I'm afraid she will be more picky than us."

Cao Jiashi had revealed these words in front of Chu Yu long ago.

Chu Yu was also optimistic about the younger elder brothers of the Prince's Mansion in Pingjun, not to mention Fu Peng, who was far behind Tianhui in age, and he was the heir of the Palace, so the Naersu couple might not be able to decide on the matter of taking a wife; She was younger than Tianhui and did not match.

Fuxiu and Fujing are two, one is four years older than Tianhui, the other is the same age as Tianhui, and they grew up together when they were young. It is also a good thing to choose one as a son-in-law in the future.

But Cao Yong made it clear in front of his wife that it is not good to get married if the blood relationship is too close, so Chu Yu can only sigh.

The husband and wife were talking and walked to the lotus pond.

Here, a running water outside the garden was introduced, and a small pond was opened, in which lotus flowers were planted all over, which was in full bloom.

Next to the lotus pond, there is a pavilion with two bamboo chairs, where Cao Yong fishes in his spare time.

The husband and wife sat down when they heard the crowing of frogs.

Cao Yong stayed up for several days and nights, feeling a little tired, so he leaned into a bamboo chair and made himself boneless.

Seeing this, Chu Yu couldn't bear it, walked behind him, rubbed his temples, and asked softly: "Is there a lot of errands in the yamen? Don't work too hard on the forehead, it's important to take care of yourself."

Cao Yong leaned his head on his wife's chest, feeling soft and moved in his heart.

Although the eldest son is ten years old, because Chuyu was young when she gave birth, and Cao Yong, a half-baby, was by her side, and she took good care of herself after giving birth, so her figure was not out of shape, and her appearance was younger than her actual age. She looked like she was in her twenties. Come Xu.

There was no one around, so Cao Yong's hands became a little dishonest.

After more than ten years of husband and wife, Chu Yu naturally knew that her husband was serious in front of others, but very dishonest in queen.

Chu Yu's face was flushed by the disturbance, and she couldn't help it, and said in a low voice, "Your son-in-law, let's go back to the room."

Even if the maidservant laughed at them for having an early rest, it was better than making jokes in this garden.Besides, there are mosquitoes by the water, Chu Yu has been stared at twice at this moment.

Although this side of the lotus pond is more interesting, there are only bamboo chairs and no bamboo couch here, so Cao Yong had to get up with him.

In his heart, he thought of the descriptions of Ximen Qing's various housewares in "Jin Ping Mei", and he was a little curious.

Do you also want to change and change, to see and see, to increase the fun of husband and wife.

Holding his wife's hand, he wondered if he was "keep warm and think about sex", and how he could take care of these things.

How did Chuyu think that her husband was already dreaming, she thought about it, since Tianhui was born, she has been recuperating her body these years, and started to use the prescription of nourishing yin and warming the palace since last autumn, if only she could conceive as soon as possible.

Although the mother-in-law didn't say anything clearly, but Cao's family's family members, they can't just bless this little bloodline.

She didn't take back the hand held by her husband, and with the free hand, she touched her stomach quietly.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the garden, I saw Le Xia walking towards me with a little girl, and said to the two of them: "Master, Madam, Director Wu sent a message to the second gate, saying that there are distinguished guests, please hurry to the front yard living room."

Cao Yong was thinking about the fun in the room, and was puzzled by such interruption: "What honored guest?"

"The servant girl doesn't know, Manager Wu only spread the word that he is a distinguished guest." Le Xia replied.

"What's the fuss about this, and some people come here uninvited?" Cao Yong raised his head, looked at the already dark sky, and said without complaint.

"Master, let's go, it's not good to keep the guests waiting for a long time. With time now, maybe there is something to find Master." Chu Yu withdrew her hand and said with a smile.

Cao Yong nodded and said: "Then you go back to the room first, if you are tired, just squint for a while, I will go back quickly!"

"En!" Chu Yu agreed, watched Cao Yong leave, and then returned to the inner house with her maid.

Outside the second door, Wu Sheng was waiting in person, already waiting anxiously, wondering if he should open his mouth to urge the women who guard the door again.

At this moment, I heard the sound of footsteps, and the greetings of the mothers-in-law.

Seeing Cao Yong, Wu Sheng took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "Master, Prince Yong is here...something is not quite right..."

When Cao Yong heard this, he felt a "thump" in his heart, no wonder Wu Sheng was so careful, the prince's entry and exit from the courtier's mansion was also eye-catching.Not to mention, it is the fourth elder brother who has never "formed a party for personal gain".

"What's wrong? Did you come here with anger?" Cao Yong's mind was spinning. After the fourth elder brother left the Yamen, he went to see his majesty Bi Zhezi. Could it be that he was dismissed and vented his anger?
"Very drunk..." Wu Sheng replied with a bit of disbelief: "I really didn't expect that Prince Yong would still be like this..."

Cao Yong was a little stunned, and asked: "Look at it, are you happy or not?"

"I can't see the joy, but it seems to use alcohol to relieve my sorrow..." Wu Sheng recalled the appearance of the fourth elder brother drunk, and said.

When Cao Yong heard the words, his heart sank.

It seems that it must be the matter of the relief clause.

He walked a few steps quickly, and before he reached the living room, he saw a young servant walking over quickly.

"Leave?" Cao Yong listened to the boy's report, quickened his pace, and went outside the gate.

When we got to the door, we saw the fourth elder brother's sedan chair drifting away.

Although Cao Yong was a little excited and ran out of the gate a few steps, he still stopped.

Men are very face-saving, and the fourth elder brother came here by accident after being drunk. He may not be happy to think of this episode after waking up.
