In the Eighth Master's Mansion, the Eighth Master said to Guo Luoluo's family: "Send some silver to the Cao family." ”

Guo Luo Luo was about to laugh: "Master, the Cao family is sleeping on the pile of silver, let's give him silver?" ”

"It's not the same time anymore." The eighth master said with a smile, "The Cao family only brought dozens of boxes with them when they entered Beijing, and the female dependents didn't even have a decent bracelet. Sui Hede really sucked up all the flesh and blood in the bones of the Cao family. ”

Cao Hao died in office, and the fourth master did not chase and fight, but still saved some face for the Cao family, and let their whole family come to Beijing to support the elderly, which is a 'glorious return'. But in fact, all the properties left by the Cao family in Jiangnan were copied by Sui Hede, who went to the 'funeral' and escorted the Cao family to Beijing.

Guo Luo Luo said: "Since the master said so, then I will listen to the master and wrap him with two thousand taels for someone to send over?" ”

The eighth master thought for a while and said, "Let's make it whole and send five thousand." The emperor rewarded them with a house, but they heard that they didn't want anything, and the daughters of the Cao family now do their own laundry and cooking. Our family doesn't have to deal with them for a long time, and the first time we send the key, there will be no second time in the future. ”

Guo Luo Luo said happily: "Just listen to the master." ”

After the eighth master left, Guo Luo Luo asked people to bring her dowry account book. The nurse asked, "What are the things that the girl is going to do in an emergency?" ”

Guo Luo Luo sighed: "What else should I do? Master's things have the imprint of the palace, and it is too conspicuous to take it out, so it is naturally convenient for me. ”

The nurse felt sorry for her, and while helping her turn over the account book, she said: "There is also a Pingjun Wang Fujin over there in the Cao family, that person can be a man, with her taking care of her mother's family, the Cao family will not be so miserable." "When the Cao family married a daughter, how much did they accompany. Now this Pingjun Wang Fujin leaks a little from his fingers, which is enough for his mother's family to eat and drink.

Guo Luoluo's perception of Cao Jia's is good, the eighth master from the Kangxi Dynasty to the Yongzheng Dynasty, there are ups and downs, others come over when the eighth master is beautiful, and when he is down, he can't wait to avoid the eight zhang away.

Cao Jia's is the same as always, she didn't see how to flatter her back then, and she doesn't look down on her now.

She said: "In the end, she is a married daughter, and she can't control too much of her mother's family." What's more, Mama also knows that those who climb up in this world are always unwilling to fall down again. The Cao family used to be a slave from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wasn't the old lady Sun who was in the palace on an errand and waited for the first emperor to bring this wealth? But look at now, even the eighth master said that the daughters of their family washed and cooked by themselves, which was wronged. ”

The nurse also smiled, Prince An back then, isn't it the same for the Anjun Mansion now? always talk about the prestige of his ancestors. Yes, the old prince has been a general and has been in charge of the Zongren Mansion. But look at the old prince, is there a person in the current county king's mansion who can go to court? It's still holding the majesty of the year, and I can't stop talking every day.

Guo Luo Luo said: "Mama just look, these thousands of taels of silver will be sent over, and see if the Cao family buys the girl first, or the land first, you will know what the family is like." What the master said is also true, if you really know how to be motivated, it doesn't matter if you pull it. If you can only sit and eat the empty mountain, these five thousand taels will be regarded as the favor of the past. ”

In Prince Yi's mansion, Zhao Jiashi took the account book in this month's mansion and looked at it, pointed to a sum of 1,000 taels of silver and asked Mama: "Did you send the money to the Cao family?" ”

Mama hurriedly said: "I sent it, it was like the princess, and I sent it quietly, and I didn't attract people's attention." ”

Zhao Jiashi nodded, made a note, and instructed Mama: "Remember to send it in the future, just take the usual ceremony, let the account room remember it by itself, and report it together when the time comes, and you don't have to wait for me to tell you to go back." ”

Mama boasted: "There are few people in this world who are as kind as the prince and the princess, who dares to go to the Cao family now?" They're all hiding. ”

Zhao Jiashi laughed and let Mama go down.

This is what the prince told her, how much silver she took from the Cao family before, and now she will return it to their family. After all, they can't help anything else but give silver.

In the Cheng'en Mansion, Li Si'er rushed into the study, snatched the book from Long Keduo's hand and said, "Master, I'll tell you a good thing!" ”

Long Keduo smiled: "What's a good thing? My goodness. ”

Li Si'er sat in his arms, and Fu Er whispered to him: "The Cao family asked someone to ask for trouble, and I want to set up an heir for the dead Cao family, and see if I can dig some benefits from the emperor." ”

When Long Keduo heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The Cao family still has this idea?" Do they really think that the favor of the first emperor can still make the Yongzheng Dynasty come? ”

Li Si'er slapped him, "Master, this is not for nothing. The Cao family has good things in the Li family, don't look at them only brought a dozen boxes to Beijing, I heard that the large ones were left in the pawnshop and recorded as pawn tickets. I've had people see it, it's true. ”

Long Keduo sighed: "It's really unexpected, the Cao family still has this ability?" He got up and spun around the room.

Long live this matter, the Lord must not know. Sui Hede's errand was not very good, and he asked the Cao family to hide things. The Li family also dared to make ghosts under the nose of Banzai, and it happened that Banzai Ye was worried that he couldn't move the Li family.

The three families of Cao, Sun, and Li in Jiangnan are now only the Cao family.

The more Long Keduo thought about it, the happier he became, he shook his palm, turned his head and hugged Li Si'er and said: "My good girl, it's good to ask the Cao family for something, it's all their greed, but you want it!" ”

Li Si'er got his words, it was like getting Shang Fang's sword! turned his head and honestly mentioned it to the Cao family.

The Cao family's house in Beijing is the old mansion of the Shunzhi Dynasty, and although there are many houses, most of them are in disrepair. Later, it was divided into several families and six officials to live in, and because it was given to the Cao family, the original people moved out.

Because most of the houses almost need to be replaced, the threshold windows also need to be replaced, at least they need to be painted again to remove insects. Most of the furniture is also unusable, and the corner garden has to be searched to see if there are any rat holes or dog holes.

I haven't been back to Beijing for almost many years, and the third generation of the Cao family can't even recognize the streets of Beijing, so I turn around when I go out. The old lady, wife and girls who had just entered the house were all sick, and they asked the doctor to prescribe prescriptions and catch medicines, buy manpower, visit old friends and relatives, and enter the palace to thank them, and other trivial matters made the Cao family almost anxious.

The most troublesome thing is that the people in Beijing almost hear that the Cao family comes to the door, and they don't even accept the name post. If you are polite, you will also say, 'The owner of the house is not there, slack', and if you are not polite, you will close the door directly, and the reward will be closed.

Cao Quan is the leader of the Cao family after Cao Hao's death, but he can't make up his mind now.

The other people of the Cao family gathered together to discuss whether to give Cao Hao a step-son good incense.

Some said: "It should be passed, you can't let Liansheng not even eat a bowl of rice underground." ”

Cao Quan said: "Succession is due, that is...... Does this really work? Didn't we inquire? The prince of Anjun Wangfu is the successor, and now he has beaten back the fold of the prince. ”

They gave Cao Hao a stepson, and the most important thing was to borrow the favor left by Cao Hao, so as to earn a way out for the Cao family.

But if you succeed you, can you really ask for favors from Banzai?

Zuihou was still an old man of the Cao family, and he said, "We have no other way." It may be useful if it is passed, but it is useless, and even life can be regarded as leaving a root. But if you don't, there's no hope. ”

"Besides, the Cao family committed a big crime, and now in the face of the first emperor, sparing the lives of our whole family is already a blessing. It is said that it is time to accept fate as a slave, but this big family, the old and the young, as soon as we close our eyes and disappear, what will happen to the rest of this group of women and children? He said to Cao Quan.

"If you want to do it, do it as soon as possible. The filial piety period of the first emperor is almost over, and even if we report it this year, we may not buy it today. ”

Favors are not used, and they will be invalid when they expire.

In the three years before the first emperor's filial piety, Yongzheng Ye had to give the first emperor's old ministers a few decent shares.

Cao Quan gritted his teeth and said, "Then hand over the fold." ”

In the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, the fourth master looked at the fold handed over by the thirteenth master and did not take it.

The Thirteenth Master knew that Banzai didn't like the Cao family, and he was annoyed that he always talked about the Cao family, but now the words spoken outside are hard to hear. First of all, Jiang Chenxi's incident, Long Live ignored the request of Shandong students and cut Jiang Chenxi. Then there is the Cao family, the first emperor's filial piety period has not passed, and the Cao family, who has served the first emperor all his life, has suffered from the seedlings.

There's everything out there right now. Even Cao Hao was actually poisoned by the first emperor with dove wine, and there were assassinations.

Thirteen didn't dare to say this to the Lord Banzai, he was afraid that if he said it, Banzai would be even more twisted, and he would be even more reluctant to give grace to the Cao family.

He said: "Long live, the Cao family wants to find an heir for Cao Hao to inherit the incense." ”

The fourth master said: "If their family really just wants to find a stepson for Cao Hao, they won't give me a fold, and they will ask you to hand it over." ”

He sat down to the side, and Thirteen followed, still holding the fold in his hand.

"Sit." The fourth master said.

Wang Yicheng sent two teas. The fourth master picked up one and sighed: "Thirteen, it's very good that you are affectionate, but it also depends on whether that person is worth it." The Cao family," he sneered, "that's a bunch of discontented ones. They have been in Beijing for so long, and they have been connected in tandem, and I have seen that all the doors of the mansions in the capital have been knocked on all over the city. ”

He pointed to Thirteen: "If you help them once, they will stick to you, and they don't know how to get drunk." ”

Thirteen hesitated now, and when it came to this, he said that he didn't eat well, and he was suspected of persecuting Long Life.

The fourth master dried thirteen and a half cups of tea before Zuihou took the fold and said to him: "For your sake, I will allow the Cao family this time." ”

Then I opened the fold, read it carefully, and approved the word 'may'.

Thirteen already regretted taking back the fold, and said: "The younger brother knows that he is wrong, and he will not take care of the Cao family's affairs in the future." ”

The fourth master was satisfied, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You just need to understand my hard work." Stay with me for a meal, it just so happens that the concubine made someone make a kind of egg sauce (salad dressing), the vegetables are very good, I asked people to give you some, take it back to the house to taste. ”

Thirteen Zheng felt that the atmosphere between him and Banzai just now was very bad, and immediately followed the words of the fourth master: "When the younger brother heard this, the saliva was about to flow out, and I remember that when I was in the palace before, I liked to eat the tea eggs in the Eniang Palace. ”

You have to listen to the eunuchs and grandmothers when you eat in the elder brother's house, that is, when you go to Zhang Jia's palace, you can take the opportunity to add a meal with the protection of your mother.

Zhang Jiashi also knew that his son was easily hungry at this age, and he couldn't eat enough dim sum, so he always saved a plate of steamed buns and half a bowl of soup from his share for him.

mentioned the events when he was still in the palace, and the fourth master couldn't help but miss it.

When he came back in the evening, he told Li Wei about the thirteenth year.

She didn't know that the fourth master actually remembered so many scenes in the palace in the early years of the thirteenth master. But it is often a praising sentence of thirteen and a scolding of a sentence of fourteen.

He is immersed in the aura of a good brother, and she is only responsible for responding.

Suddenly, he burst out and said: "Thirteen still remembers his mother in his heart." ”

Li Wei responded: "Probably because Emperor Min's concubine has not enjoyed the blessings of her children and grandchildren, and the thirteenth master left before she had time to be filial, so the thirteenth master has been thinking about it like this." The son wants to raise but does not wait, probably this is the truth. ”

She was about to change the topic to Ningshou Palace, the fourth master has been a little busy recently, and she hasn't been to Ningshou Palace for several days.

The fourth master recited 'the son wants to raise but does not wait', sat up and sighed: "That's the truth." ”

Li Wei hurriedly took the opportunity to mention Ningshou Palace, saying that the Queen Mother also thought that the egg sauce was good, and the imperial dining room of Ningshou Palace also wrapped this sauce into the dumplings, and the Queen Mother ate it bluntly and said Long Live must like it.

Fourth master, are you? This is the Queen Mother who wants to invite you to dinner.

The fourth master said that it was very good. He went to the Queen Mother for dinner the next day.

The imperial dining room of Ningshou Palace really served a dumpling filled with salad dressing, and she ate it like a large custard bun.

It's just dripping down as soon as you eat it, so you can only take a bite and suck the juice inside.

A meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and the Queen Mother and the Fourth Master let each other cook, because everyone was a small table in front of each person, and they did not sit at a big table to eat, so the Queen Mother ate a haode, and said, "Let Long Live Taste". The fourth master ate this, so he said, 'It's still the chef here who is the emperor's mother, reward him'.

Li Wei and the queen sat at the bottom to accompany them.

After eating, when everyone was sitting and eating after tea, the fourth master discussed with the queen mother very seriously to send Emperor Min's concubine, the thirteenth master's mother-in-law, to Kangxi's side to lie down.

The room was scary and quiet for a while.

Li Wei almost thought that her ears had misheard: My fourth master can't be so two!

But that's what the fourth master really thinks, and he also expressed a lot of love and trust for Thirteen in front of the Queen Mother, so Thirteen's Eniang is his Eniang (not that meaning), and he respects Emperor Min's concubine just like he respects his Eniang (such as the Queen Mother).

I saw that the smile on the corner of the queen mother's mouth was getting smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, and Zuihou was so small that she couldn't see it.

She put down the tea bowl, and Aunt Fang stood behind her with a nervous expression.

The Queen Mother nodded lightly and said, "Long live what she said." Alas, in the blink of an eye, Sister Zhang Jia has been gone for so long? ”

The Queen Mother followed the words of the fourth master and recalled Zhang Jia's voice and smile for a while, expressing her support and affirmation of the fourth master's decision, and then said, 'It's too late, long live tomorrow and I'll be busy with business, I won't keep you'.

Swept them out of the house.

After returning to the Heart Nourishing Palace, the fourth master was still immersed in the aura of 'he is a peerless good brother' and couldn't extricate himself. Li Wei accompanied him to wash and change clothes until he went to bed, but he really couldn't find what to say at this time.

She wanted to remind him that the Queen Mother was angry and unhappy.

But he's happy now, is it appropriate to hit him?

Moreover, he knew that the Queen Mother was angry, and he would make amends to the Queen Mother according to normal people's reactions or be rebellious, it was impossible to say. She always felt that the latter was more likely.

She tossed and turned, deliberating how to speak.

On the other side, the fourth master was also thinking proudly. The Cao family only used a few taels of silver to call the thirteen one by one, and I treated the thirteen so well, he would never intercede for those people in the future.
