Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 932

Just as Hong Zhou was worried, after the fourth prince returned home, he didn't spare him.

After entering the yard, he directly asked someone to drive Hong Zhou, and made him turn the board.Those who were ordered were complaining endlessly, but no one dared to do anything in front of the fourth elder brother, so they could only go down one by one.

How could Hongzhou have the backbone to carry it at this time, and he would cry for his father and mother, so miserable.

Seeing his son being so reckless, the fourth elder brother became more and more annoyed, so he asked someone to beat him hard. Looking at his appearance, he wished he could do it himself.

Hongli had already sensed that something was wrong, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, he slipped into the backyard to fetch a savior.

So, after Hong Zhou had been hit by more than a dozen boards, Si Fujin hurried over.

When Hongzhou saw her, she howled more and more miserably with each "big-faced mother".

Although Nian had given birth to two sons and a daughter in recent years, except for the little elder brother who was just full moon, the other two died successively.Hongzhou has been the youngest son of the royal family for ten years, although he is a concubine, Si elder brother and Si Fujin are inevitably spoiled, that's why he developed such a stubborn temperament.

If you see him being beaten, Sifu Jin also felt distressed, but he didn't dare to stop him loudly, and said calmly: "Master is back, Nian is feeling a little uncomfortable today, I just asked the imperial doctor to see him in the afternoon, I'd better go quickly Let's see."

Nian's body is weak, and although he is confinement now, he still keeps taking medicine all day long.

The fourth elder brother heard this, glared at Hongli behind Si Fujin, snorted coldly, and went to the inner house.

The guys on this round of boards were also clever, so they stopped without being told.

"Fifth brother, are you alright?" Hongli stepped forward, helped Hongzhou up, and asked with some concern.

Hong Zhou was howling like ghosts and wolves just now, distracting his energy, but he didn't feel any pain.Now the board stopped, but he was throbbing in pain, and said pitifully: "Fourth brother, it hurts." As he spoke, he looked at Si Fujin, and said with a trembling voice: "Big mother, it's all because of my son's fault. Amma is angry."

Si Fujin saw that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his clothes were stained with dark red blood. He didn't know how badly he was injured, so he hurriedly sent him back to his yard, and asked for an imperial physician.

Hongzhou only said nothing happened, and then Sifujin asked him why he was beaten.He didn't hide anything, he lowered his head and told the truth about how he played with Cao's children in Chunjun Palace.

After hearing this, Si Fujin lowered his face and said: "You are usually naughty because you are naughty, but you should also know right from wrong. That child is the adopted son of your cousin, and her seniority is younger than you. You are a cousin , just take good care of it. Whose child is not the darling of their parents, and you have been bullied, how can you face your big sister in the future?"

Among the clan relatives, Sifujin has some preference for Chuyu and his wife, but he is much closer than other juniors.In addition to the impression that the couple gave people, they were both honest and kind, so it is conceivable that the children they taught were well-behaved, otherwise they would not have been fooled by Hongzhou.

Thinking of the blood on Hang Seng's lips, Hong Zhou felt uneasy, blushed, and said, "Mother, son, I know I was wrong... I'll go and make amends to Big Sister tomorrow..."

Seeing him honestly admitting his mistake, Si Fujin felt a little annoyed, and said: "You are getting older, no more than you were when you were a child, you must not let your temper mess around anymore. This kind of thing is the most taboo for my master. It not only hurts the relationship between relatives, but also erases my father's love." face, next time it won’t be enough for a dozen boards.”

Hongzhou nodded vigorously, and said, "Mother Da'er, my son doesn't dare anymore..."

At this moment, Hongzhou's biological mother Geng and adoptive mother Niu Hulu both got the news and came to see him.Seeing him like this made me feel distressed and irritated, and I couldn't help nagging with red eye circles.

Fortunately, when the imperial physician examined it, it was only a skin injury, not a muscle or bone injury.

After Sifu Jin, Geng's family, and Niu Hulu's family all left, Hongli sent the maid out, and the two brothers whispered.

"Tell me, why did you get rid of Cao Xiaoer? It's not the words that were instigated by Hongjing. He is playing tricks and wants to use us as a weapon. I don't believe you didn't see it." Hongli moved A small stool, sitting on the edge of the kang, looking at Hong Zhou said.

"Who wants to deal with him? It's just a coincidence. Who would have thought that the cast iron hanging in the school yard is the same as that in this mansion. A few years ago, the third brother coaxed me to lick the frost on it in the school yard. I was not fooled and let him The waiter Dongsheng licked it. It’s been four or five years, and I didn’t believe it when I was six or seven years old! He’s a big, stupid guy. I only think he’s about the same age as us, and he won’t be fooled. I would think that kid is so real!" Speaking of this, Hongzhou didn't know whether to lament his own misfortune or Xiao Hengsheng's misfortune.

Hongli frowned after hearing this, and said, "Third brother bullied you, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's not bullying, fourth brother don't worry, if he wants to fight against younger brother now, he won't be able to take advantage of it." Hongzhou vowed.

Hongli looked at him, and said for a long time: "Hongjing is not kind, so don't play with him in the future."

Speaking of which, the difference between the two brothers is only a few months, but Hongli is stable and Hongzhou is mischievous, and they get along quite like an elder brother and younger brother.

Therefore, Hongzhou is no stranger to Hongli's preaching, and said with a smile: "That guy, that little bit of a mind, can't figure me out, so don't worry, fourth brother..."

*
Hong Zhou only stopped for two days before asking Si Fujin for instructions to go to the Cao Mansion to make amends.

The relationship between the two families is very good, and Si Fujin didn't want to be alienated because of the child, so seeing that Hong Zhou was really fine, he allowed him to leave the house.Hongli, who was inseparable from Hongzhou, of course went with him.

Because of the unusual situation around Mrs. Li, Si Fujin even specially prepared gifts for the two young elder brothers.

Cao Yong went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, but was not in the mansion.

When Chu Yu heard that the two cousins ​​were coming, she went to the front yard to receive them in person.

Although she was annoyed by Hong Zhou's nonsense, she knew that her husband valued the contacts of Prince Yong's mansion, so she paid more attention to it.

Hearing that the two young elder brothers not only came to apologize, but also paid respects to Mrs. Li, Chu Yu didn't dare to be self-reliant, so she sent someone back to the inner court to ask Mrs. Li for instructions.

Mrs. Li didn't see her at first, but I heard that the two young elder brothers were in their teens and they enshrined the meaning of Four Fujin, so they had to come out to meet each other.

In the past few months, there have been rumors about Li's life experience, and Hongli Hongzhou has also heard of it.

Although they would not naively call "Aunt" directly, they also took the opportunity to look at Mrs. Li.Not to mention other things, it is this slender-eyed person who does have some shadows of Aixinjueluo's family.

She was just wearing a wide-sleeved Hanfu and a round bun, without the magnificence and style of a Manchu lady, but she looked a little more amiable than other elders.

Mrs. Li also thought about the matter of blood, thinking that these two young elder brothers were her nephews, she felt quite strange.

Seeing that Hongzhou sincerely apologized, she couldn't complain, but she just said that she asked the two little elder brothers to take care of Brother Tianyou more in the future.

What Hongzhou misses most is Hang Seng. He just heard Chu Yu say that Hang Seng was "recovering from illness" in the past two days, and he felt a little uneasy, so he decided to visit him in person.

In fact, Hang Seng was just frightened the day before yesterday, and in terms of injury, it was not as severe as Hong Zhou's.

It's just that Cao Yong thought that with Hongzhou's restless temperament, he appointed to come over these two days, so he asked Hang Seng to suspend his studies and "recover" in Sunflower Court.

Regarding this incident, Cao Yong asked the children to remember three points, one is not to trust people's words, but to think more; the second is to know that, except for parents and relatives, others will not treat you well for no reason, so be careful , to distinguish between good and bad; the third is a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, even if you hold revenge in your heart, don't talk about it.

He is not afraid of teaching the children to be small-minded. He would rather the children are selfish and cold-tempered, so that they will suffer less harm in their future lives.

Seeing that elder brother Hong Zhou really came to visit the sick as his father said, Hang Seng didn't know what to say.

Although the wound on the lips was better, the wound on the tongue healed slowly, and it still hurts now.

It would be a lie to say that Hang Seng never complained about Hong Zhou, but he kept his father's order and put aside his dissatisfaction, saying only that it was his fault "with sincerity and fear".But the words leaked, he hesitated, and looked even more pitiful.

At this time, Chu Yu had already had someone call Tianyou from the study to return to the Sunflower Courtyard.

Tianyou couldn't help but mention a few words on the side, how the younger brother had a high fever, why the parents kept guard for two days, how the younger brother could only eat porridge, and it couldn't taste salty, and so on.

Even Hongli was embarrassed to say it, let alone the instigator Hongzhou.

When he came out of Cao's mansion, Hong Zhou felt more guilty than when he came.

"Fourth brother, didn't Hongjing say that Hang Seng is the adopted son of the Cao family, doesn't he look like that?" Hong Zhou said in a muffled voice, "Isn't it that the big forehead son-in-law raised him privately outside?"

Hongli glared at him, and said: "What did you say? This Heng Sheng was brought back from Mongolia by the big forehead. It's no secret. Look at Heng's appearance. He has a broad face and high cheekbones, just like a Mongolian... ..."

*
Outside the yamen of the household department, Cao Yong looked at the man dressed in Mongolia in front of him, feeling puzzled.

This man was 25 or [-] years old, with a short beard, and looked familiar. He was tall and mighty, wearing a royal blue tuanfu robe, followed by several robust servants.

Who is this?He even came directly to the Yamen.

This is related to the affairs of the Mongolian state, which is the responsibility of the Lifan Academy, and it should not be found in the household department's yamen, and it is also called by name.

He looked at the man, and the man was also looking at him, but his expression was a little complicated, like resentment, and something else.

"Is your Excellency looking for Cao?" Finally, Cao Yong spoke first.

"My name is Gelke Yanpile. I come from Zhasaktu Banner. I am ordered by Concubine Khan to meet Lord Cao and ask about the child's whereabouts." The man spoke bluntly and slowly.

Zhasaketu Banner, this is the name Cao Yong can never forget.

Cao Yong's heart sank all of a sudden.

Because of Hang Seng, Cao Yong is also quite concerned about Northwest Mongolia.It's just because they are far away that they meet outside the Great Wall every year, unlike the northeastern ministries who come to meet each other in shifts, so Cao Yong has no chance to meet the people in the palace.

Cao Yong is no stranger to the name of "Ge Yan Ke Yan Pi Le".This is the nephew of the royal family of Zasak Tuhan, who has been formally appointed as the heir of King Khan a few years ago.

It wasn't until seeing him now that Cao Yong understood why the old Concubine Khan wanted to send Hang Seng out of Mongolia.

Renewal marriages are not prohibited in various Mongolian ministries, but the little princess is pregnant with her husband Xiaozhong, which is a great insult to the Khan Palace.This handler is a newly adopted heir, which is even more hateful...
