Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 934
Cao Yong heard Hang Seng's whisper, looked at Hang Seng, did not make the decision for him.

Seeing this, Hang Seng thought about what his father said yesterday, that receiving gifts and returning gifts is very complicated, waved his hand, and said crisply: "I don't want it, I already have a Mongolian sword!"

He has several Mongolian knives, all unsharp, given by Cao Yong, and sixteen elder brothers brought back from Mongolia.

The handle of this Mongolian knife of Geke Yanpil was inlaid with rubies, so Hang Seng took a second look.What he thought was that this gemstone was quite big, if only he could buy it for his sister.

After thinking about it, when the other party really sends him off, he finds it troublesome, so he knows he can't take it.

Elder brother Hongzhou had a feud with him, and he gave something to accompany his love, if he didn't accept it, he would lose his face; but the person sitting in front of him has nothing to do with him, so it is not easy to accept his heavy gift.

Seeing that Hang Seng's eyes were clear, he didn't see greed, and he was holding a Mongolian knife, Ge Yanke Yanpila didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Tianyou said to Cao Yong in a low voice: "Father, the master left homework and will check it tomorrow. Can my son and younger brother go back first?"

Although it was a low voice, everyone sitting on it could hear it.

Hang Seng has always been struggling with his homework. Hearing this, he felt a little anxious, and whispered: "Yes, my son still has ten big characters to write."

Cao Yong looked at his sons, then at Ge Yanke Yanpile, called Cao Yuan, and told him to send Tianyou and Hang Seng back.

Cao Yuan leaned over to answer, Tianyou and Hang Seng had already got up from their seats, said goodbye to their father and guests, and then followed Cao Yuan out.

Ge Yankeyanpile looked at Hang Seng's back with a depressed expression, and said after a while, "One day, he will know that he is not a descendant of the Cao family."

Cao Yong didn't answer the call. He didn't hide this matter from Hang Seng, but because he was young, he didn't tell him in detail.

"He is my son!" Jiang Cao Yong didn't answer, Ge Yanke Yanpil raised his head, the decadent look on his face faded away, revealing some firmness.

Cao Yong looked into his eyes and said: "Cao only knows that Hang Seng is a child of the Cao family. His fate, his future, others have no right to decide. Wait for him, the prince will talk about these again, stay in the capital , or go back to Khalkha, it’s up to Hang Seng to make his own decision.”

Although Gelke Yanpil was annoyed that father and son could not recognize each other, he was not a person who didn't know what to do.What Cao Yong said yesterday, although he didn't say it clearly, he made it clear that with the concubine and two sons, even if Hang Seng brought it back to Khalkha, he would be in an embarrassing situation.

Ge Yanke Yanpile did not take back the Mongolian knife in his hand, but put it in front of Cao Yong, saying: "Hang Sheng is my son, I will not take him back without a name or title. This knife is my Zhasa The relics of the first generation of Khan Kings in Ketu Banner have always been owned by each generation of Khan Kings. They have been handed down for several generations in the Khan King’s Mansion, and they were handed over to me by my grandmother the year before last. In the end, he had brought a bit of pleading.

He expressed his meaning clearly and left a mark to explain his intention of passing on the throne.

Cao Yong didn't feel happy at all, but it was related to Hang Seng's future, and he didn't reject it arbitrarily. , by his own choice."

He is willing to find a better background for Hang Seng, but he is reluctant to let his children go to Mongolia.

If he can attack the prince and stay in the capital, it will be consummated.But where there is a real powerful Mongolian prince who leaves the fief, even if he wants to garrison the capital, he must have a son or younger brother to stay behind.

For a while, Cao Yong was in a state of disarray.

Ge Yanke Yanpile is only happy, although Cao Yong did not let him recognize his son happily in the past two days, but the starting point is all for Hang Seng.

The son lost his mother, and being raised by adoptive parents like Cao Yong and Chu Yu is something to rely on.

He called two healthy servants over, and said to Cao Yong: "These two people, one is called Bala, the other is called China, and their riding and shooting skills are still impressive, so I will give them to Master Cao as slaves. Please don't dislike them, Master Cao." .”

On the surface it was said to be given to Cao Yong, but in fact it was given to Hang Seng.

Cao Yong took a closer look. Both Bala and China are common Mongolian names. The former means "tiger" and the latter means "wolf".

The looks of these two people really do match their names.

Bala is tall and solid, half a head taller than China, even if it is less than two meters, it is about the same.However, he is not very old, and there is still a bit of boyish restraint between his eyebrows and eyes.

China looked older than Bala, with a thin and long face, with a few red scars on half of his face, and a fierce look all over his body.

Seeing Cao Yong looking at them, Ge Yanke Yanpi Le said: "Bala has never fought a tiger, but he is a strong man of our banner. He can kill a horse with a few fists. Although China is not as strong as Bala, he can be arrogant. Clever and good at archery, he beat the wolf king at the age of 15."

Hercules is quite ordinary, this wolf is cunning, and all the wolf kings on the grassland have spirituality.To be able to slay the wolf king with one hand, China requires not only fighting skills, but also meticulous thinking.

"Since it is used by the prince, is it overqualified to give it to Cao? If he condescends to two strong men, wouldn't it be Cao's fault." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

This talent is good, but after all, it was left to Hang Seng by Gelke Yanpil.Hang Seng is young, so he may not be able to control him. If he has a bad temper, staying in the Cao Mansion will be worrying.

Ge Yanke Yanpile hurriedly said: "It's their blessing that Mr. Cao is willing to accept them. What condescension?" At this point, he took out two body deeds from his arms and put them on the Mongolian knife. In one place, he said: "This is their body contract. From now on, they will be Master Cao's servants, and life and death will be determined by Master Cao."

When Cao Yong saw him like this, he knew where the sense of disobedience in the past two days came from.

Ge Yanke Yanpil was too calm. It turned out that before entering Beijing, he had made two-handed preparations.Whether he can take away Hang Seng is up to him to deal with it calmly.

This man is somewhat calculating.

Cao Yong nodded, meaning that he promised to accept people.

Although he has only met two sides, he believes in Ge Keyan Pile and his love for his son.

Ge Yanke Yanpil was overjoyed, and said to Bala in Mongolian: "From now on, you will be a slave of Mr. Cao's family. Your mother and younger brother will be taken care of by King Khan's mansion. You don't have to worry about it." Then he said to China Said: "Your deputy captain's position will be taken over by your cousin, and your widow's aunt will be arranged by the palace."

After hearing this, the two first kowtowed to Ge Yanke Yanpile, and then solemnly kowtowed to Cao Yong, as a recognition of the new owner.

Cao Yong understands Mongolian language. After hearing these words, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Ge Yanke Yanpil's arrangement. Instead, he was relieved of these two people because of the containment of the palace.

If there were really two orphans who had nothing to worry about, even if he wanted them, he wouldn't dare to arrange them with them.

Fang heaved a sigh of relief after Gelke Yanpil had arranged all this.

The Chinese New Year is about to come, so he has to stay in the capital and return to Khalkha after the year.I asked Cao Yong if he could see Hang Seng again these days.

Cao Yong did not refuse, but he also explained his concerns and did not want him to come.

Ge Yanke Yanpi Le agreed, and the two said goodbye.

Cao Yong asked Xiaoman to put away the body deed and the Mongolian knife, and took everyone back to the house.

Ge Like Yanpile is not a stingy person, he gave all of them, and naturally the horses also stayed.Bala and China got on their horses and followed Cao Yong's carriage.

Today, Cao Yong went out with Wei Hei, Xiaoman, Wang Rui, and Zhao Gang. Xiaoman knew that this was a servant sent by others with his body deed.

It's not uncommon for a slave to be sent to a slave because of the old custom in the officialdom.

It's just that Cao's house has never used outsiders since its ancestors.Even if there are slaves sent from outside, they are either transferred or left idle.

Because of the different identities of the Cao family, no one picks on the Cao family.

When Cao Yong's generation was far away from Jiangning, there were less taboos, and someone sent him off.Cao Yong still respected the old customs, he collected things, but few people; even if there were occasional ones that could not be avoided, they were mostly dismissed and never stayed in the mansion.

For this reason, although the Cao Mansion is not monolithic, it also lacks a lot of gossip.

Others didn't see Ge Keyan Pile, but Xiao Man did.That looks similar to Young Master Hang Seng, so you can't hide it from others.Xiaoman touched his chest, and it felt much more comfortable.

If you want to keep people, just keep them, it's better than taking them away.Not to mention that the grandfather and his wife are reluctant, even he and his wife Wu En are also reluctant.

These years, although he didn't have any errands, but because he and Cao Yong grew up together and had different relationships, even Tianyou and Hang Seng would call him "Uncle Man" when they saw him.Even his father and uncle are not so decent...

Sunflower courtyard, study.

Tianyou rested his chin, watching Hang Seng write big characters.

Although Hang Seng is slow in endorsement, the big characters are barely enough to catch the eye.Without him, only diligence can make up for one's weakness.

Hang Seng was not distracted, and wrote several pages in one go without stopping.

Tianyou was afraid that his hands would get sore, so he said, "Second brother, take a rest first, have a couple of cups of tea before writing."

It is said to be tea, but because the spleen and stomach of children are weak, all the teas prepared here are fruit teas.Dried hawthorn and honeysuckle are soaked to quench their thirst.

Hang Seng obediently put down his writing brush, took two sips of tea, remembered something, said "Brother, wait for me", then ran to the upper room "peddling", and took out a brocade box.

Tianyou recognized the one with the western bronze lion, and said with a smile, "Last night for half a day, haven't you had enough fun?"

Hang Seng shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm playing around, I just want someone to send it to my sister. We've all seen it, but my sister hasn't seen it yet."

Tianyou said: "There's no need for Baba to send it, but it will make my aunt worry. It's going to be Laba soon, and the palace is also busy with affairs. Maybe my sister will come back in two days."

Hang Seng scratched the back of his head, and said: "Big brother said that I was reckless. Then big brother help me think about how to return the gift to brother Hong Zhou. Didn't father let us go to Si Fujin to ask An Jia to return the gift in these two days? "

Tianyou thought for a while, and said: "They are the palace of the prince, and there are more things built in them than ours, so we don't need them; otherwise, let's find something Western in return?"

In his early years, Wei Xin was doing business in Guangzhou, and among the things he sent to the capital every year, the most indispensable thing was all kinds of Western gadgets.Except for the ones put away, the rest are placed on the Baibaoge in the upper room.

After hearing this, Hang Seng nodded his head, and the two brothers went to the main room, standing in Baibaoge and watching.

The eyes of the two brothers fell on a two-foot-long silver sailing ship model.

"That's it, it looks unassuming, but it's worth some weight." Tianyou said with a smile.

Hang Seng was a little hesitant, and said: "This is my brother's favorite thing, let's give it away."

"If we are rare, others will also be rare; if we don't like it, brother Hongzhou may not necessarily like it. Let's take a look at that little lion. It's hard to guarantee that it's not brother Hongzhou's heart. One good for another , shouldn't it be right?" Tianyou said.

Seeing this, Hang Seng also nodded.

Tianyou called the maid to come in, removed the glass cover outside the sailboat, and carefully put the sailboat into the brocade box.

"I've got the gift for brother Hongzhou, and it's hard for brother Hongli to take it away, so I can pick another one for him. Please ask mother to prepare the rest." Tianyou said, and walked in front of Baibaoge again. Then, I picked out a pair of silver western lady candlesticks, and asked someone to wrap them up.

After doing this, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"It's all made of silver. Big brother has been with me for a year. How much fun can I add to my sister." Hang Seng fumbled for the brocade box, a little bit reluctant.

Tianyou said: "Yes, this time, those two elder brothers made money. These two things are not very good, and they are worth more than that lion."

Tianyou's maid, He Tao, and Hang Seng's maid, Xiaoxie, were beside them, seeing the two young masters chattering, they couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle, Second Master, these two things were given to the two masters by the master and wife in the early years. If the two masters want to give gifts, do you want to tell the wife?" Walnut said.

Tianyou nodded, and said: "That's right, let's invite Sister Hetao and Sister Xiaoxie to walk around. I said that in addition to letting my mother check, I also asked my mother to help prepare the gift for Sifujin. When the second brother finishes writing the big characters, I will come Go with my younger brother to see my mother."

Walnut and Xiaoxie went in response, Tianyou and Hang Seng returned to the study, and continued to do their homework without mentioning it...

In Wutong Garden, Chu Yu saw the sailboat model and the candlestick, she didn't say anything, but asked someone to take out the account book, and added two more Western items for Hong Shi and Nian Fang Fujin's younger brother.

Although children are reciprocal, they must take into account all aspects.

She has already drawn up the list of gifts next to her, and she will add a few items according to the annual gift to Prince Yong's Mansion every year, as a return gift for Mrs. Li to send Sifu Jin.

Right now, it is time to go to Laba, and it is time to send New Year's gifts.

Asking Cao Yong to take the children with him also seemed respectful and solemn.

After arranging these, Chuyu sent Xiaoxie back to answer, leaving the walnut behind.

"You are a girl, so I shouldn't tell you, but your old lady has no idea. You will be 21 in the next year, so there is no need to delay. You have been with the uncle for many years, and you have made a lot of hard work, but there is no charter in the future. Do you have anything to worry about?" Chu Yu asked.

Walnut's face was blushing, and she was not as sharp as usual.

When she was a child, she always talked to Wu En about getting married and buying land to be a landlord.When I grow up, I understand that it is not easy to be a commoner, and it may not be comfortable for a wealthy family to be a slave.

It's not that there are maids married out in this mansion, but she and her old mother entered Cao's mansion halfway. They are orphans and widowed mothers. They have no relatives. If they want to marry out, there are no suitable candidates. house.

She was very angry and unwilling, so the matter was delayed...
