Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 953 "Gifts"

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of July, which was Cao Yong's 29th birthday.

According to folklore, this year is a bad year for Cao Yong.Since New Year's Eve, all of Cao Yong's insoles have been embroidered with villains, which means "stepping on villains", just for safety.

On his left wrist is a string of bracelets carved with eighteen arhats, which were consecrated by eminent monks.This is what Li asked for him at the beginning of the year, let him wear it, and he is not allowed to leave.

Cao Yong knew in his heart that this year is indeed a "unlucky year", not necessarily his own "unlucky year", but the country's "unlucky year".

The emperor's collapse is imminent, and the situation is alarming every step of the way.

Going out, not the whole life, Cao Yong did not want to Zhang Luo.However, the officials of the household department who came with the entourage did not dare to break the rules and shorten the filial piety of "three festivals and two lives".

As soon as they went to Cao Garden, other people also thought of this incident. Brother Sixteen and Brother Thirteen brought a few younger brothers over to make fun of it.Hongli also heard about it, and came with Hang Seng after class.

In addition to Laxi, Yiduli, and Cao Yong's colleagues from the guard office in the early years, they also gathered two or three tables.The bodyguards who fought with Cao Yong back then, after more than ten years of officialdom experience, most of them served in the army.

The 21th elder brother is a bit older, and he is seventeen this year. He usually works with the 22th elder brother in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and today he is sitting with the 12th elder brother and the [-]th elder brother; the [-]st and [-]nd elder brothers are the same age as Hongli , who is only [-] years old this year, has Hang Seng as the host.

The elder brother Fupeng of Pingjun Prince's Mansion, although he also served Rehe this year, was taken to Mongolia by his aunt Bao Yagege, so he didn't show up today.

For these princes and grandsons, they have been acquainted with each other for more than a month.

21 Elder brother is a good-tempered person who is close to him; 22 Elder brother is not talkative and has a quick temper; as for Hongli, in the eyes of Hang Seng, he is not only unlovable, but even a little hateful.

His memory is not bad, what happened years ago is still in his mind.

Elder brother Hongzhou played tricks on him, but Hongli knew the truth and still defended his brother wholeheartedly, only treating himself as noble, which made Hang Seng forget his grudge.And the reason why Hang Seng can order accompanying reading seems to be inextricably linked with this little elder brother.

For a person like Hongli who was born like this, he is not lacking in the slightest bit of etiquette, so it's hard to find out what's wrong with him.

Even after Prince Yong's Mansion interacted with the Cao family's children, there were occasional childish fights, but most of them fell on Hong Zhou's head.

Today, the so-called "birthday worship" is just a cover, in fact, Hongli wants to take the opportunity to go home.Even in the foster palace, the foundation of his foothold is still Prince Yong's mansion.He is neither the eldest nor the eldest, and only by winning the favor of his father and aunt can he win among his brothers.

Therefore, after Hongli entered the table, he got up and said goodbye after using two chopsticks.

Hang Seng has been by his side for more than a month, and he doesn't know much else. I have seen this scene of sneaking home two or three times.

The child was so anxious that he couldn't take advantage of Hongli.In the past, if he didn't do his own business, he didn't bother to pay attention to it; today, he used his father's birthday as a cover, and Hang Seng couldn't help it.

It's really Fu Ling's heart, Hang Seng's mind immediately thought of the "gift" that Brother Jiu gave him.

Thinking of this, Hang Seng stood up, pretending to be a little adult, picked up the teacup, and said to the three people in front of him: "Three masters, Hang Seng has always been reckless, and his mouth is stupid. The three masters don't think Hang Seng is stupid, and they also take care of Hang Seng , Hang Seng is very grateful. I prepared a small gift for the masters, and asked the masters to save face and accept it with a smile."

Some of the Cao family's things cannot be bought outside.The 21st and 22nd elder brothers in the palace couldn't understand this cognition.

Therefore, although they said "you're welcome", their eyes were deceiving. It looked like they were about to get a toy, and they wanted to ask something right away.

Hang Seng refused to say any more, only said that it would be served later.

Although Hongli was also curious, he couldn't bear the desire to go home.

Hang Seng didn't want to keep it anymore, and sent it out in person.

Hongli rode on a horse, surrounded by guards, and rode away, bringing up smoke and dust all the way.

Hang Seng looked at Hongli's back, but it was rare to show a smile, and he was so happy that he didn't forget to go back to accompany the banquet.

Brothers 21 and 22 have been guessing for a long time, but they really don't know what the gift that Hang Seng came up with is a whim.

It's just that Hang Seng didn't say anything, and accompanied the two elder brothers to have dinner with a smile, and then ordered a woman to present the two masters.

Seeing that they brought two young girls in Hanfu, the two elder brothers were a little dizzy. They just felt that they could no longer take their eyes off after seeing them.

Seeing it, Hang Seng was surprised. Could it be that these little foot maids are so good?

However, what was given to the two young elder brothers was not the two girls, but the small box in the girl's hand.Inside are a few Western objects, things that children like.

Compared with the puzzled Hang Seng, Hongli is one of the first and two older at the moment, because he has just entered the mansion, and he is talking with Hong Zhou in front of his aunt, and the "thank you gift" prepared for him by Hang Seng has arrived.

This "thank you gift" is not something else, it is the youngest two of those beauties with little feet.

Si Fujin saw the greeting card that came with others, looked at the two concubines, and was a little confused about the rules, so he asked someone to bring the two little maidservants up.

Hongli only felt that he had suffered from being dumb, while Hongzhou was very curious. It seemed that even though he was born in the palace, he was no more free than others. This was the first time in his life that he accepted someone as a gift.

At this moment, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law has already brought someone in.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, with a weak body, immature appearance, and a slender figure, sweat profusely on his forehead due to walking disease.

Seeing this, Si Fujin's eyes darkened even more.Nian Fang Fujin, who is currently the most beloved in the palace, is so delicate.

She asked people to take the two maids down, and then she said to Hongli and Hongzhou: "You are so courageous, you dare to accept anything, if it reaches the prince's ears, I'm afraid it will be another whip."

In a word, it made Hong Zhou sober up a lot.

"Hang Seng, bastard, you can't figure it out yourself, that's why you caused trouble!" Hong Zhou cursed in a low voice, but he didn't seem angry.

He just thinks that this guy Hang Seng, suddenly enlightened, is better than Wei Nuo Nuo's situation, a little less unfamiliar.

Si Fujin was a little unhappy, how could one easily enter Prince Yong's mansion.It looks like a child's play, but there are many invisible twists and turns behind it.Hang Seng is a child, so he can't think of these things. As a father, Cao Yong is not easy to manage.

If other families were involved, Si Fujin might have had a seizure long ago.Since it was the Cao family, and the person who dealt with it was a boy in his teens, she couldn't say much...

Cao Yuan, go to the room.

Hang Seng took the hangover soup and sent it to Cao Yong.Cao Yong drank a few more cups today, and his head hurts a little.

Seeing his son's diligence and carelessness, Cao Yong immediately saw something wrong, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you in trouble?"

Hang Sheng raised his head, drooping the corners of his mouth, and said, "Father, my son just sent a gift to Brother Hongli and Brother Hongzhou..." At this point, his voice became quieter, and after a few hours of reflection, he It seems that he understands that he has passed.

Seeing Hang Seng's guilty expression, Cao Yong couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "What gift?"

Hang Seng was not used to lying, so he told the answer honestly in front of his father.

Thinking of Hongli's romantic temperament, Cao Yong couldn't help but smile.Then it occurred to me that these women were sent by Brother Jiu, and I didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.Sending it to Prince Yong's mansion like this is really a bit hasty.

However, he just gave it away, and he didn't want to criticize Hang Seng too harshly because of it, but he kindly explained a few words to him.

The father and son said a few more words, and Cao Yong was a little tired, so he fell into a deep sleep.

Compared with the tranquility of Cao Mansion, the garden of Prince Yong's Mansion can be described as full of thunder.

When the fourth elder brother saw his son, there was never a time when he spoke softly; today he heard that two beautiful maids were sent to the door, and the fourth elder brother became angry.

Looking at it like that, it doesn't look like someone who can listen to his son's begging for mercy, wishing to break his leg immediately, just be honest and settle down.

Hongli felt that he had been wronged, and began to grind his teeth while saying Hang Seng's name.

After this "painful experience" reprimand, Hongli's legs were straightened, and he returned to the palace listlessly.

Hang Seng didn't know yet, he couldn't bear it at this moment, and he was stingy, what was waiting for him was Hongli's many back tricks,

On the contrary, Cao Yong, not only did not blame his son for "gifting", but instead thought of a way to arrange the remaining two women and gave them directly to Batma, Prince of Horqin.

Think of it and do it, naturally in the name of Hang Seng.

Batma happened to help Hang Seng get a few foals from Horqin, and Hang Seng's thank you gift was just in time.

These foals were prepared by Hang Seng for the older brothers in the family.

Earlier, Batma gave him a pony, and he was a little uneasy in his joy.Because only he has it, but no one else has it.

Then in his elder brother's family letter, it was mentioned that the few of them might have passed the hospital examination and then they would go to Rehe. Hang Seng discussed with his father that Tobat's hemp would prepare a pony for them.

Now, the foal has been delivered and is being kept in the garden.

Regarding the news from the Cao family, Brother Nine only found out after a few days that he had given gifts to his "nephew and grandson" and asked him to pass them on to others.

He was a little bit embarrassed, and complained a few words to Elder Brother Ten, but he didn't know what to do.

Although those four virgins were brought up by his people, they are no worse than the authentic "Yangzhou skinny horse".Knowing that Elder Brother Shi did not bring a wife or concubine with him, he sent people to Rehe to warm his younger brother's bed.

Elder Brother Shi didn't want any of them, and now he is gradually recovering from hidden illnesses and is still undergoing treatment.

He is already in his forties, and he is not in a hurry.He just wanted to recuperate his body, take a few concubines in a serious manner among the beautiful girls, and add a few younger brothers.How could this whore girl be qualified to be the mother of his children?
Brother Jiu saw that he didn't want it, and there were a lot of concubines around him, so he half-jokingly pushed it to the Cao family.

Even if they didn't expect these women to be their eyes and ears, they still wanted to see the excitement of the Cao family.Unexpectedly, Cao Yong was shameless, and in the name of his son, he swept the four women out of the house.

Brother Nine didn't see it as lively, but felt bored.

On the other hand, Elder Brother Ten, who was impetuous in his early years, persuaded Elder Brother Ninth...
