Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 935 Happy Reunion

"Madam... I don't want to go out of the house..." Walnut groaned for a while, and finally said this sentence.

Chu Yu listened, nodded, and said: "You are a girl's family. If you have anything to say to me, you can discuss it with Cao Man's family. If you think it is appropriate, you can talk to me. My side, too. Watch out for you."

Walnut blushed and responded, the two of them were talking when they heard Le Chun lift the curtain and come in to report: "Madam, Sister Xiyun is back, she is asking to see Madam in the yard."

"Ah?" Chu Yu heard the words, stood up, and hurriedly said: "Xiyun? Quickly pass..." As she spoke, she couldn't wait, and walked out to meet her.

Under the corridor, stood a young daughter-in-law dressed in Han costume.The upper body is a powder-soled wide-brimmed women's jacket, and the lower body is a pleated skirt with a blue satin bottom for Four Seasons Peace, and purple satin embroidered shoes are faintly exposed.

She wore a bun on her head, with two gold hairpins inserted, revealing a pair of ears, a gold gourd pendant inlaid with gemstones, three gold pieces hanging on her chest, and two gemstone ingots in her hands.

Although this attire might not be much richer than when she was a maidservant in Wutongyuan, it is an authentic Han family attire.

When Le Chun and Le Xia saw each other, they felt very novel.They were recruited from the little maids of Wutong Garden, so they knew that Xiyun had different identities, and their attitudes were also respectful.People like Le Qing and Le Hong who made love outside felt strange.

Chuyu couldn't care less about Xiyun's attire, but when she saw Xiyun's face, her eyes were already blushing.

Xiyun and Xicai grew up with her as a child, and married to Cao's family with her.Unexpectedly, even though she married a servant of the Cao family, she would follow her husband out of Beijing.

Xi Yun couldn't bear it either, she already knelt down, choked up and said: "Ge Ge, the servant is back!"

When Zhang Yi and his wife left Beijing with Wei Xin, Chu Yu thought they would be able to turn around in two or three years, but they didn't expect that it would take two or three years.

"Get up quickly and talk in the room." Chu Yu leaned over, helped her up, and said with a forced smile, "It's finally back, it's joy."

The master and the servant entered the room arm in arm, and Walnut had retreated to Lechun's side.

Xiyun had already seen Walnut, and she was still dressed as a girl, startled slightly, and nodded her head; looking at the other people, some of them had familiar faces, while others had unfamiliar faces, as if time had passed.

"How many times have we arrived? Didn't you say that you couldn't make it in time?" Entering the room, Chu Yu asked.

"As soon as I arrived, this servant really wanted Gege, so I came directly to say hello to Gege. The man from the servant's house is now talking with the uncle in the front yard. When I was at the door, I happened to meet the uncle returning to the house." Xi Yun lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. Tears, and replied with a smile: "Because I came out from Guangdong late, I couldn't make it to Beijing years ago, but the slave girl's family was thinking about the new year's goods in the mansion, so he hurried along the way, and finally arrived years ago."

"What about the child, why didn't you bring it here?" Chu Yu asked.

"Because he was on the way, he caught a cold and didn't dare to come over. He was afraid that Ge Ge would be sick, so he was carried back to resettle him first. Ge Ge has a double body, so slaves shouldn't come directly." Xi Yun said.

"How can you be so precious, even if you don't come, I know you're back, so I have to go to see you." Chu Yu said with a smile.

The master and servant have been separated for several years, so there is a lot to talk about.

Le Chun served the tea himself, and then exited the door.

Walnut was familiar with Xiyun, but he couldn't talk right now, so he said hello to Lechun, and went back to Sunflower Court first.

In the front yard, Cao Yong and Zhang Yi were also talking.

Originally, according to Cao Yong's plan, Zhang Yi and his wife should have returned to Beijing last winter.But there were some mistakes in the business in Guangzhou, so Zhang Yi stayed for more than half a year and only came back this year.

"Fan Shishen swallowed the Fan family?" Cao Yong was not surprised by the news.Because the Cao family pulled Fan Shishen at that time, it meant to add fuel to the flames, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.I thought that with the qualifications of the Fan family, even if they lost, it would take a few years of hard work.

Fan Shishen is a very ambitious young man, as can be seen from his desperate business partnership with the Cao family.

"You can't blame him entirely, it's really his brother who is unkind. He can't see him well, and he has nothing to do with it, so he still doesn't give him a way to survive. Fan Er really has no choice, so he has to join hands with the second girl of the Ai family to take the Fan family's boat. The team was eaten. Now those clan elders are counting on him to support them, and no one dares to say anything bad." Zhang Yi said.

"The rest of the Ai family didn't say anything?" Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The Ai family's influence in Guangzhou is in the hands of Ai Da, and what others say is useless. Besides, she promised herself to Fan Er with confidence. The two are already engaged, and they will wait for Fan Er next year." Marriage after two filial piety." As he said, Zhang Yi took out a box from his sleeve and brought it to Cao Yong: "Master, this is the property title deed in Guangzhou, and there is also a letter of approval for [-]% of the shares of Fan's Shipping Company. The little one According to my father's instructions, only three points are required, but Fan Er is sensible, so he insisted on giving [-]%. The remaining [-]%, he kept [-]% for himself, and [-]% was given to the second girl of the Ai family. The second girl of the Ai family also Refreshingly, write the two percent directly under the nephew's name."

The nephew of the second daughter of the Ai family, Gina, is Wei Jiali, the son of Wei Xin and Ada.

"Fan Shishen has some courage!" Cao Yong said.

Although it seems to be a disadvantage, giving up [-]% of the ancestral property, it is tied together with the Cao family, the Ai family and the Fan family.The Cao family is a dignitary in the capital, and the local government will give them some face if they greet people; the Ai family has a very high status in Nanyang, and the Fan family can't catch up with them.

"I don't know, the second daughter of the Ai family is getting more and more powerful. Looking at her posture, maybe in two years, she will eat the Ai family as a dowry for herself. Fan Er's [-]% of the shares are not bad. .” Zhang Yi said.

No real estate or title deed in Guangzhou was purchased in the name of the Cao family.He has been in Macau for several years, and through the second daughter of the Ai family, he obtained a Macau household registration. The real estate and land deeds in Guangzhou were purchased under that pseudonym.

Cao Yong asked him to arrange these and control the fleet, but he was holding the idea of ​​​​a cunning rabbit and three caves, which was the last way out.

In fact, even if the officialdom is dangerous, as long as there is no rebellion involved, there are very few people who ransacked their families and wiped out their families.Cao Yong is like this, just for peace of mind.

Even though he didn't like officialdom, Cao Yong didn't have the courage to move his family to the West.

People are far from their hometowns, not to mention the sea routes that have narrowly escaped death.

Seeing Zhang Yi's dusty face with a dull face, Cao Yong talked to him for a while, then sent him down to get acquainted with changing clothes, saying: "I will catch you in the evening, let's talk about it in detail."

When Zhang Yi went down, Cao Yong held the box in front of him together with the Mongolian knife, took it back to Wutong Garden, and ordered Chu Yu to put it away.

Luckily, this Mongolian knife made Chuyu very entangled.

After knowing that it was the token left by Ge Yanpile to Hang Seng, her originally cheerful mood also fell silent: "Do you really want to pick up Hang Seng?"

Seeing her like this, Cao Yong explained: "There are still more than ten years of work, why do you think about it? Maybe he won't send someone to pick him up at that time, and you still feel wronged by Hang Seng."

For the adopted son, Hang Seng, although the two of them loved each other like a parent and child, there was always something they couldn't give.For example, title and power.

Even if Hang Seng is not an adopted son, but Chu Yu's son, but because of the second line, he is not eligible to inherit the title.

The promise left by Gelongke Yanpile is the banner owner of the Mongolian Khan and the county king conferred by the imperial court, and he is the most famous among the princes of Outer Mongolia.

Hearing what her husband said, Chu Yu sighed, and said: "If he is really allowed to inherit the title, I would rather Hang Seng stay in the capital to be the Lord, and it would be like going to Mongolia to eat sand."

Cao Yong did not answer, if Hang Seng is really a goshawk soaring high, he will not be bound by his father's love to stay in the capital; if Hang Seng pursues peace, he will not let the power drag his son into the water.

The atmosphere in the room was a little silent, Tianyou and Hang Seng brothers came.

Cao Yong said a few words with his sons, and when he heard that they wanted to go to Prince Yong's Mansion, thinking that he would be free in two days, he asked someone to send a post.

In Chuyu's hands, there is also a list of New Year's goods left by Xiyun.

Chu Yu picked out a few novelties and added them to the gift list for Sifujin.In this way, even if this year's annual ceremony is a bit thicker than in previous years, it will not be conspicuous because it is a gift to Sifujin.

Otherwise, if the tide rises, all boats will rise, and the gifts of other palaces will also be thickened.

It was night, Cao Yong set up a table of wine in the front hall, and called Wei Hei, Zheng Hu, Wu Mao, Xiao Man and others to welcome Zhang Yi.

As for the newly-arrived Bala and China, Cao Yong directly asked the housekeeper to arrange a yard, which was treated the same as the nursing home in the mansion.

They are going to be servants of Hang Seng, and Cao Yong does not intend to support them.The Mongols treated slaves cruelly and cruelly, and sometimes slaves were no better than sheep and horses.

Cao Yong would not treat Bala and China like this, but he would not let them develop a bad temper.Even if it is a tiger or a wolf, it has to have its claws and teeth pulled out so that it can rest assured that it can be placed by his son's side.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yi counts as being around Cao Yong.In the past few years, he has been in charge of the south alone, and he is decent in the eyes of outsiders, not much worse than Zhao Tong, the seventh-rank county magistrate.

Now, Cao Fang took over the errand in Guangzhou, and Zhang Yi also returned home with honor.

Cao Yong was afraid that everyone would be cautious, so he ate a few cups with him, and then left the table first.

Everyone was in high spirits, so they couldn't help but raise their wine cups and respect Zhang Yi for a few cups.

Zhang Yi thought about the days when the big guy was a long-term follower by the master's side in the early years, and he was a little stunned...

Cao Yong came down from the banquet and didn't go back to Wutong Garden directly, but went to the yard next to Bala and China, where Cao Jia, Cao Yi and others lived.

Both Cao Jia and Cao Yi were there, and they were somewhat curious after hearing Cao Yong talk about Bala and China.

It is normal for a martial arts practitioner to have greater strength, but it is not easy to kill a horse with a few fists or kill a wolf king with one hand.

The reason why Cao Yong explained it was just to let them explore the bottom line tomorrow, and wait to observe the character of these two people before deciding whether to let Hang Seng go.

If Hang Seng has a great companion by his side, Tianyou should also have one by his side.Cao Yong asked Cao Jia and Cao Yi, two priests, to help choose candidates, and see who is right.

The two of them are going to enter Zhengbaiqi official school next year, and the long-term follower should also start preparations.

Speaking of these, there are brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng. The Tian family has started to buy servants one after another, but the number of male servants is limited, and there is still not enough manpower, so we have to add more...
