Cao Hao originally planned to stay in Yizhou for a while, and then set off for Jinan. Because Chu Yu was happy, he delayed for two more days, until the letters to the capital and Jiangning were delivered, and the house was properly arranged, Cao Hao took Wei Hei and a few guards to follow, and quickly went to Jinan.

Cao Song wanted to go with him before, but this time he knew that his sister-in-law was pregnant, and he also looked like a gentleman - because his brother was not there, he stayed to take care of the house.

The official who is now serving as the political envoy is called Hou Juguang, a man with a red flag in the Han army, who was promoted from Sichuan the year before last as an envoy. Hou Juguang is already an old man in his sixties, his body is slightly rich, and he has a little white hair, and he also treats Cao Hao with a smile. It's just that the slightly squinted eyes will inadvertently show a hint of inquiry.

Cao Hao didn't take it to heart, at his age, coming out to be a four-grade civil official is indeed a bit eye-catching. Hou Juguang's reaction was also within his expectations.

According to the procedure, after Cao Hao received the seal letter, he was taken by Hou Juguang and met with the governor Jiang Chenxi and the inspector Li Fajia according to the inspectorate.

Jiang Chenxi is better, he is a Chang acquaintance in Jiangsu, and he is half a fellow villager with Cao Hao, and he also has a good relationship with Cao Yin. Although he knew that Cao Hao's current glory still depended on the side of the prince's father-in-law, but seeing that although he was young, he was cautious and cautious, steady and polite, Jiang Chenxi had a good impression of him, and exhorted him a little kindly.

According to the Yamen side of the Inspectorate, Cao Hao's treatment was not so polite. According to the inspector Li Fajia, the word Yingxian, a native of Heyang (now Yunnan, Tangjiang), was a few years older than Hou Juguang, already sixty-five or six years old, and his body was thin. Maybe it's because of the two years in charge of the criminal name, and he always looks like he doesn't smile on his face.

Seeing that Cao Hao was so young and took up the position of guarding the road, Li Fajia was a little surprised. I thought that Cao Hao was just tender-looking, but after asking about his age and resume, he knew that he was only nineteen this year, and his face was a little ugly. said a few words without yin or yang, although there was no offense to the imperial power, but it still belittled Cao Hao. It's as if Cao Hao is a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and now he's coming to harm the place.

Growing up so big, it was the first time Cao Hao was so ridiculed, and he felt very uncomfortable. Even if he is indeed stained with the light of the royal family, but now that he has not yet taken office, where has it become a scourge? Looking at Li Fajia's gray beard shaking, Cao Hao didn't know whether to admire or disgust this old man who was prejudiced against him.

For the three constitutions of Futai (governor), Fantai (political envoy), and Zhentai (criminal envoy) on the Jinan side, Mr. Zhuang's information has long been collected in detail.

Jiang Chenxi is a scholarly family, an official eunuch family, and a serious scholar who publishes books; Hou Juguang is a banner man, because of his father's exploits from Longjin Pass, Enmeng's official position was promoted, and he still has the knight of the four-rank cavalry; Li Fajia is the most legendary one.

Li Fajia came from a farming family, studied private school when he was a child, and joined the Shi family as a son-in-law as a teenager. His father-in-law is very loyal, and his son-in-law is talented, and he still supports him to study hard and seek fame. The sky lived up to people's wishes, and when Kangxi was twenty-three years old, Li Fajia finally became famous in the township examination and was promoted.

In the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi and the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, he went to Beijing to participate in the examination twice, but he was named Sun Shan.

At this time, Li Fajia was already forty years old, so he went back to Yunnan through the ministry to find a professor who did not enter the stream. Later, he was transferred from a professor to a regular eight-grade teaching, and because of his "outstanding achievements", he was promoted to the order of Lingshou County of Zhili after the expiration of his term. Later, because of his "outstanding political achievements", he was recommended by Li Guangdi, and Kangxi gave him the birth of Tongjinshi, so he restored the surname Li and was promoted to the third level of supervision of the imperial history from the fifth grade.

Since then, Li Fajia has become a world-famous iron-faced imperial history because of his "uprightness". Later, because he offended too many relatives of the emperor, he was accused of "involving current affairs" and was dismissed from his post.

Kangxi loved talents, saved the heart of preservation, and released Tianjin Road. In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Li Fajia was promoted to the position of Shandong according to the inspectorate department.

After studying the Four Books and Five Classics for more than 30 years, and entering the official career for 24 years, Li Fajia has gone from being unpopular to being a positive third grade, and there is also Kangxi's exceptional mention in it.

Even if Cao Hao is counted from the resume of the guard battalion, it has only been two and a half years, and he is already a fourth-grade product. If Li Fajia can look at him pleasing to the eye, it is called strange.

Hou Juguang and Li Fajia are completely two people, although they are officials in the same place, but they have only been friends in general ways for a few years.

Right now, seeing that Li Fajia was leaning on the old land and selling the old land to attack Cao Hao, Hou Juguang was a little gloating. The alternate Daotai who was previously implicated in the "Chen Si case" was a nephew of Hou Juguang.

Originally, Hou Juguang thought that although the nephew was involved in the "Chen Si case", after all, he was just passing through the prefect, so he shouldn't have much to do with it, but it would be good to walk around in three or two months. And on the side of Gongdongdao, it is not fat, and the number of people who are concerned should be limited. As long as you say hello to the officials, it shouldn't be a problem to leave a few months of absence.

Unexpectedly, the news brought back by Jingzhong was already filled by someone. Therefore, Hou Juguang looked at Cao Hao a little uncomfortable.

Hou Juguang is a banner man, and he understands the Taoism of officialdom clearly, unlike Li Fajia, who is just a dirt bun. It is true that Cao Hao's official character is the fourth grade, but the identity of the county lord is the same as that of Wu Yipin, and the title of the first-class man is the second grade, even in front of the governor, he can sit on an equal footing. Not to mention that this envoy is not a direct subordinate official, Li Fajia's actions are really stupid.

Hou Juguang added fuel to the fire and said a few good words for Cao Hao, which caused Li Fajia to refute more and more, while secretly observing Cao Hao, with the idea of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight".

If it was two years earlier, Cao Hao would not have had the experience of being an official in the household department, and he was afraid that he would be grateful to Hou Juguang for this "maintenance". However, you must know that the infighting in the household department has not stopped in the past two years, what kind of person has Cao Hao never seen?

After listening to a few words, Cao Hao knew it in his heart, but it was a little strange.

According to what he knew before, Cao Hao knew that he should not have any conflict of interest with this chief official, but why did he do this? It can't be a reason for Li Fajia, watching the young man become an official, he is not angry and deliberately finds fault, right?

I really don't complain that Mr. Zhuang didn't collect it carefully, because Hou Juguang and the "nephew" had no contact before, and the other party wanted to seek the shortage of Shandong, so he passed the letter. After all, Mr. Zhuang can inquire about a limited number of things in the capital, how can he think that an alternate Daoist who has not yet taken up his post has climbed the relationship with the chief officer?

No matter how upright Li Fajia is, he is also a figure who has been mixed in officialdom for more than 20 years, and when he is too imprisoned, he will also ponder that something is wrong. He vaguely understood that he was used as a gun by Hou Juguang, and secretly scolded "old horseman" twice in his heart; glanced at Cao Hao a little uncomfortably, and saw that he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked calm, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and served tea to the guests.

Cao Hao was in Jinan, in addition to meeting with the three officials, he also received news from Beijing, that is, on the fourth day of the second lunar month, Zhang Boxing, the governor of Jiangsu, went to the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi to get 500,000 taels of silver, and bribed and sold people Cheng Guangkui and Wu Mi for personal gain.

Fraud in the field is one of the most taboo cases in the imperial court, and if it is not handled properly, it is very easy to chill the hearts of Jiangnan scholars. Moreover, this involved the governor of Liangjiang and the second-class officials of the imperial court, and when the matter came out, it was naturally boiling.

Kangxi played the quasi-performance, and Kali dismissed him, and sent Zhang Pengxi to interrogate with He Shou, the governor of Caoyun. Jiangnan Jiangxi Governor Printing, Jiangxi Governor Lang Tingji acting.

Also on the fourth day of the second lunar month, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, Kali, participated in Zhang Boxing, the governor of Jiangsu, and framed the minister for selling 500,000 taels of silver privately, and begged to confront him. Kangxi also allowed the performance, Zhang Boxing dismissed the appointment, and ordered Zhang Pengxi to find out the performance with He Shou. Jiangsu Governor Printing, Zhejiang Governor Wang Duzhao acting.

The dispute between governors and governors, which lasted for more than two years, is finally coming to an end. Cao Hao thought of the Li family who were implicated by Kali, and he didn't know whether to sympathize with their bad luck or be angry with their greed.

Because of his concern for Chu Yu, Cao Hao stayed in Jinan for a few days, and then hurriedly returned to Yizhou. Although Wang Shi and Ma Du wanted to go together, they both brought their families with them, so they had to see off the chief first, and then set off later. They only said that the chief was from Beijing, who would have thought that he would come back from the south, and his family had already arrived in Yizhou.

When a new official like Xiao Cao takes office, it is usually announced by the governor's yamen, and the local subordinate officials take the big and small officials to the official pavilion outside the city to wait, and then they take the wind and wash the dust.

When it comes to Cao Hao, these charters are a little useless.

The announcement of the Yamen coming down was dated on the first day of the third month, and it was reported by Cao Hao, and it was arranged according to the itinerary of Wang Shi and Ma Dushi. He himself took the chief of the guards with him, and he quickly whipped up, and returned to Yizhou on February 25.

Whether it is Jiangning Caofu or the capital Chunping County Palace, they all sent people to Yizhou. On Jiangning's side, not to mention the degree of food and clothing, nanny and mother, Cao Yin also mentioned in his family letter that the Li family would come north to take care of Chu Yu in a few months. On the side of the palace in the capital, a lot of supplements were also sent, even if they were doctors, they were found properly, but due to the complicated procedures, they could only be sent over after a while.

On the side of King Ping's Mansion, Cao Jia's family of Fujin specially wrote a long letter to his brother and daughter-in-law, explaining in detail the relevant experience of his two pregnancies and childbirths. Although no one from Jueluo Mansion came, Cao Yi got the letter and sent congratulatory gifts to the Wangfu Mansion.

I haven't seen it in the past twenty years, Chu Yu, a little pregnant woman, has not seen fat, and has lost weight slightly. Because of the early stages of pregnancy, she had a serious sense of joy and had no appetite for anything. Although she barely ate something for the sake of the child in her belly, she often vomited again in less than a quarter of an hour.

The entire province is studying various recipes. Even Cao Hao personally went to the kitchen to guide twice. Although Chu Yu was very grateful and it was very sweet to eat, he still vomited after eating. In the end, it was Jing'er who made a move and wrapped the dumplings with fresh shepherd's cabbage, which suited Chu Yu's appetite. Later, Jing'er made some Beijing-style home-cooked dumplings, and the symptoms of morning sickness gradually improved.

Before, Cao Hao and Chu Yu originally wanted to ask the people of the Chun Palace's Mansion to bring Jing'er back to Beijing. Because of Chu Yu's displeasure, Jing'er took the initiative to stay.

Cao Hao and Chu Yu were embarrassed to let her fatherless and motherless little girl do this, and repeatedly refused. made Jing'er cry urgently, and finally told the truth, the aunt in Beijing was a step-room, and she was desperate to think about going to run, but now she is grateful for the kindness of the Cao family, and she is willing to stay to repay it. After Chu Yu gave birth safely, he left again.

Cao Hao listened to this Jing'er speak repeatedly, although through the past few months of getting along, I believe that she has no intention of harming others, but she is still a little wary of such an unknown source. In addition to asking Xiyun to follow her when she was working, she also specially asked about her aunt's family name and official position. According to her, her aunt is Ilgen Jueluo, married into the Fucha family with the yellow flag, and her uncle's name is Fu Xia Ding, and now she is the deputy commander of the Yellow Banner.

Fucha Fu Ding with a yellow flag? I don't know that Cao Hao was shocked in his heart, and even this Chu Yu felt that it sounded a little familiar. Can it not be familiar? Although the two Cao Yin couples rarely move around with the Fucha family, after Cao Hao entered Beijing, he still had contacts with the Fucha family as a junior, after all, it was Cao Hao's uncle's house.

If what Jing'er said is true, then she is the niece and daughter of Mrs. Fu Dingji!

It's just that Ilgen Jueluo is a Manchurian surname, and there are many children who are officials in the court, since her mother is from the Ilgen Jueluo family, how could she be a servant and become a needleworkman? Isn't that weird?
