Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 975 Winter Moon
Although it is related to the birthday gift, before today, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were given away.But today, even if we are close to each other, it's not justified if we don't see the previous side.

In the early days, because of his sincere closeness, Elder Sixteen called Mrs. Li "Auntie". Only in the past two years did he change his name.

Calling her a "sister" name is unfair, and calling her "wife in-law" is really unfamiliar. Brother Sixteen is a compromise. If you can't call someone, you don't call anyone. If you call someone, you can only call Li's "Madame".

Because Cao Yong sent someone to send a message to the second sect, all the female relatives of the Lanyuan celebrated the birthday and avoided them, leaving only Li Shi and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to meet the two princes and elder brothers.

Thinking that these two noble people in front of him are his brothers and sisters, Li Shi was a little stunned.

They are the uncles of his son.

Could it be because of the nature of flesh and blood, because they are uncles and nephews, so their tempers are right and they hit it off with each other?
Look at them carefully, they don't look like their own son.Speaking of which, the age of these two princes is younger than his own son.Think about the 24 elder brother in the palace, who is younger than Tianyou.

This messy seniority is a headache to think about.

Mrs. Li decided to put all these aside and do as usual, first greet the two elder brothers, and then ask the sixteenth elder brother about Wang Concubine's recent situation.

Before getting the treasure from Horqin, Mrs. Li talked to Brother Sixteen like this.

In this way, Brother Sixteen's restraint was relieved, and he almost blurted out "aunt" several times in his speech.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother had to rush out of the city before the gate of the city. Cao Yong ordered a banquet to be held in the front yard. In addition to entertaining the two elder brothers, there were also the popularity of their entourage, which made people sit down.

Orchid Courtyard, West Wing.

This is Changsheng's study room. The pineapple rice bookshelf is full of various books.Although there are no rare and rare books, I almost bought all the new books that have been published by the Beijing Bookstore in the past few years.

Such a study is not the only one in the Cao Mansion.There are also two similar small study rooms in the front yard and sunflower yard.The books in these three places were bought in one place.

Cao Yong is not afraid of children reading miscellaneous books, more knowledge and knowledge, it is better than them holding textbooks and becoming nerds.

He doesn't want the children to become the children of Confucianism, but to be the master of a hundred schools of thought.

Because the two elder brothers came to see Mrs. Li, Jinghui brought her sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Han Jiangshi, and Jiang Jian's fiancée Zhong Lingjia to avoid coming here.

Looking at half of the books in the room, others didn't notice anything, but Zhong Lingjia couldn't take his eyes off.

Earlier in Li's room, looking at the quaint furniture and decorations, she only knew that it was extraordinary, but she couldn't tell what was so good about it.

She is the daughter of a scholar's family in the countryside. Although she knows a few words, her knowledge must be limited.All she knew was that those utensils were exquisite and worthy of the word "good", but she couldn't tell exactly how good they were and where they were good.

In terms of glamorous appearance, those decorations are not as "bejeweled" as the landlord's house in the country.

All she knows is that books are not cheap, especially this kind of well-bound set of books is even more expensive.When she was in her hometown, there were also some books in the house, most of which were copied by her father and brother after borrowing other people's books.

Changsheng is Mrs. Li's youngest son. She met him in the morning, but he is only a child, and he can have half a room full of books. It can be seen that, as my aunt said, the Cao family is a noble family.

Is it difficult for my fiancé to work in such a family?Although she has never met her husband, she grew up listening to his stories and knows that he is a "chivalrous and benevolent" person.

I am just a country girl, what can I do to help my future husband?

Zhong Lingjia looked at the bookshelf so intently, which naturally aroused the attention of others.Occasionally someone looked over, but she didn't realize it.

It's just that she is a guest, so it's not easy for others to ask more questions.

Only the fourth sister is a real person, as long as she likes these books, she said with a smile: "Sister Zhong saw a book that is rare in her heart? This is the house of the seventh brother, and it is not easy for others to make decisions. But this bookshelf is not only Yes, there is also in the front yard. My sister just memorizes the title of the book, and then sends a message to Mr. Jiang, asking him to buy it for my sister."

Zhong Lingjia nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Si, for your guidance."

While talking, I saw the embroidered bird picking up the curtain and coming in, saying: "The second wife, the fifth wife, the sixteenth master and the seventeenth master have left the second door. The old lady please invite the ladies and aunts to go back to the house..."

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother returned to the front yard, and the table was almost prepared.On the contrary, there are half a table of fresh vegetables, looking green and oily, which arouses people's appetite.

The two ate deliciously, and they ate a round belly without Cao Yong's request, and then left with the guards.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, it happened that the guard captain was leading people to close the gate.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother left the city smoothly, and when they arrived at Nanyuan, it was already dark.

On the other side of Cao's mansion, the audience has already left after the banquet, and several female relatives have returned to their own homes.Cao Yong was thinking about Tong's mansion, so he moved to Lanyuan.

Mrs. Li was a little tired, so she leaned on the couch and let the servant girl knock her legs.

Seeing her son coming, she sat up and said with a smile, "It's so late, why are you rushing over again?"

Cao Yong didn't answer right away, and looked at the servant girls who stood there.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li knew that her son had something to say, so she waved to Xiu Que and Xiu Crane to send them out.

"What's the matter? But what are the sixteenth and seventeenth masters' orders?" Mrs. Li asked with some concern.

After Cao's family came to Beijing, the people they came and went with were more dignified than before, but it also made Mrs. Li worried, fearing that there might be some disaster or change.

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "It's not because of this, it's because of something else."

He recounted what the sixteenth elder brother had said about Tong's mansion such as his wife Li Si'er's rioting in Prince Yong's mansion, and finally came to a conclusion: "Even if mother is going to the uncle's mansion at the Dragon Boat Festival, it is not good to bring my younger sisters with me." Go, don't take them out."

With Li Si'er's temper, he didn't know what tricks he would make, and he didn't know what it would be like when the time came.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li felt a little embarrassed thinking about Mrs. Zhao Jia's hard work these days.

"Your second aunt wants to let your two cousins ​​go out to see the world. These days, they are busy with Zhang Luo, Zhang Luo, how can they say no now?"

Li Shi was so hesitant, Cao Yong saw her worries, and said: "After entering Dongyue, there will be a lot of entertainment in each mansion. At that time, I will bring two younger sisters, which is also considered at that time. The left and right sisters are still young. Yu went out of filial piety and took them around the various mansions, but it was just a matter of lifting a finger."

Mrs. Li thought about it, then nodded...

The next day, Cao Yong was still at home with Hugh Mu, had a good rest for a day, and even took Jiang Jian to relax.

He thought that he should go to the front door, besides discussing the wedding date, he would just ask about the dowry and dowry.

Since Wu Sheng got the order to help Jiang Jian get married, he went with him to make arrangements for his wedding.It's almost settled, now it's up to the parents.

The uncle in Zhong Lingjia's sojourn was not a biological uncle, but a Tang uncle. He was sixty years old, and when he saw Jiang Jian, he would drag him to drink.Because he is a fellow, with a local accent, Jiang Jian only feels familiar and makes people want to get close.

Because she is the daughter of a commoner family, Zhong has no maidservant around her.Accompanying her to Beijing was only a widowed aunt.

Jiang Jian mentioned to the uncle about getting married within a month, and then invited the old aunt to talk.

When the old aunt arrived, Jiang Jian presented the silver box he had brought.It contained 200 taels of silver, and it was Jiang Jian who added makeup to his little wife...

In the third year of junior high school, Cao Yong's vacation was over, and he still returned to Nanyuan for shifts.

On this day, it was cloudy from midnight, and it started to snow in the morning.

At first, it was like sprinkling salt, and then it was like pulling cotton wool.

Cao Yong was in the tent, dealing with the official documents for the past two days. When he felt his wrists were sore, he got up and came out. In the afternoon, the whole station was shrouded in a vast expanse of whiteness.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest?" Cao Yong murmured.

After being in Beijing for these years, he also understood that the boundary of the capital city has experienced nine droughts in ten years, and it is not easy to give it a good year.

Inside the imperial tent, charcoal trays were placed at the four corners, making the room as warm as spring.

Zhiran sat opposite Kangxi, and there was a game between them.It was not Kangxi who was playing games with him, but the emperor Hongli who was next to Kangxi.

Kangxi was still looking at the chessboard at first, but felt dizzy after looking at it for a while, and couldn't sit still.

On the chessboard, the fighting was fierce, which attracted Hongli and Zhiran to concentrate on the chessboard, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

If they looked up or turned their heads, they would find that Kangxi's face was frighteningly pale, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

The chessboard was still fighting, but Kangxi couldn't sit still, and his body began to tremble.

Zhiran was the first to realize that something was wrong. When he just looked up, he happened to meet Kangxi's astonished pale face, and he couldn't help being stunned.

Hongli followed his line of sight.Seeing his grandfather's appearance, he got up immediately and said, "Huang Mafa!"

Kangxi nodded, looking at Hongli who was full of attachment and worry, he liked it more and more.

"Huang Mafa, are you feeling uncomfortable? Let the imperial physician come over." Hongli said cautiously.

Kangxi wanted to wave his hand and say no, but his body softened and he already tilted to the side.Hongli hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, feeling a little flustered in his heart.

"What should I do?" Hongli asked Zhiran.

Zhiran's gaze shifted from Kangxi to the opening of the tent, and said in a low voice, "Don't make it public, the Mongols are still watching!"

At this moment, Kangxi had already faintly woke up, looking straight at Huangsun Hongli.

Hongli's tears fell, and he looked at Kangxi without saying anything.

Kangxi sighed in his heart, and said: "I'm fine, but I slept late last night, and I'm a little tired today. You go down first, I want to take a rest."

Hongli and Zhiran agreed and exited the tent.

Not far away, I saw Hang Seng and a young novice waiting there.

Seeing Hang Seng's face flushed red from the cold wind and trembling, Zhi Ran couldn't help frowning.He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

"Fourth master came out. Look at the snow. Snowball fights are the most interesting. Master 21 asked someone, shall we go and play with them?" Hang Seng asked.

Worried about his grandfather's health, Hongli had no leisure to play games, shook his head, and said, "It's cold, even if you want to play games, you have to pick a warm day...
