Chapter 577: Friends of the Curtain (I)

October 30 is the birth of the 45-year-old Li family.

Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a small whole life, Chu Yu and Cao Hao said as early as the Chinese New Year that they would do it well. Over the years, Cao Hao has stayed with his parents, and when his parents are born, they just gave people a birthday gift, and they have never done it.

However, Li is in confinement, so it is inconvenient to meet people.

In the end, he is old, not as fast as young people, and Li is tired every time, mostly drinking blood-nourishing medicine and falling asleep.

**It's been found a long time ago, and Changsheng doesn't need to worry about it.

Although the main body is not appropriate, but the people in the capital are in contact, and they look more at the door and the head of the family. Except for the family of relatives and friends, who else knows who the Lee family is?

In the palace, from the queen mother to several concubines, there are rewards to be given.

Other princes and officials, but those who had some friendship with the father and son of the Cao family, sent congratulatory gifts. Even if you haven't moved around before, you can also make a friendship with various eyebrows.

Although Cao Yin's father and son are not ostentatious people, with the family of the Earl's Palace, coupled with the "life experience theory" that has been spread in private in the past six months, the Cao family has become a "fragrant sweetheart".

In front of Cao's Mansion, although it can't be said that there is a lot of traffic, Zhibin has never been idle in his mouth.

Cao Hao came out in person and picked up a few in-laws, Shi Bo or something.

Afterwards, Cao Hao changed his clothes, took a few long entourage, and went straight to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

Today is also the birthday of the fourth elder brother.

In other words, it was someone else's house, and the gift was given in the past, but on the side of the fourth elder brother, Cao Hao did not dare to slack off.

One time later, Cao Hao arrived at Prince Yong's mansion. The porter took Cao Hao's post and asked the steward to lead Cao Hao in, while Zheng Hu, Xiaoman and others were led to the row room for tea.

Outside the Yimen, a sedan chair looked like most of the visitors from the Prince's Mansion.

Even if the fourth elder brother recites the Buddha in peace, after all, he is the prince of the dynasty who has been crowned Prince Heshuo, and he has been in charge of ministry affairs for many years, so he has some real power.

The kings of the clan, even if they have a mediocre relationship with him, this ceremony will come.

Moreover, although the fourth elder brother is the "king of cold noodles", the Sifu Jin Nala clan is a well-known kind person, and he also gets along very well with the concubines of the other royal palaces, Baylor Mansion.

Cao Hao glanced over there, thinking about the carriage and horses in front of his door, but he sighed in his heart.

It's too ostentatious, it's too ostentatious, you should still bury your head in things and be honest.

Queen Mother, Queen Mother, you better rest, otherwise if you continue to reward it in such a high-profile manner, the Cao family will become more and more annoying.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao couldn't help but be glad, fortunately, he didn't have the habit of buying land and property, and the hot springs in Changping have been almost tossed over the years.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a piece of fat.

Now that the court is short of silver, even if Kangxi gets in the way of the old relationship, he will not move the Cao family; When the fourth elder brother ascends the throne, maybe he will not be able to swallow the Cao family if he swallows the dates.

Nowadays, although the Cao family has some industries, they are not ostentatious, and they are much worse than ordinary people.

Cao Hao was hesitating when he heard someone say: "Cao Hao! ”

Cao Hao stopped and turned his head to look over, but it was Prince Jane Yaerjianga who came out of the arrogant son.

Cao Hao hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his hand, and bowed to salute.

Prince Jian glanced at Cao Hao up and down, and said, "I heard that you came back, but I was busy and didn't see you." Cui Fei had already told this king that it was your kid who gave you guidance in February. But it was the king who made a small fortune, and the king should thank you well. ”

In the sedan car behind Prince Jian, the one who got out of the car with a small grid was Prince Jian, who Cao Hao had not seen for many years, Jifu Jin Wanyan Yongjia.

Seeing her husband talking to someone, Yongjia looked over here. Seeing that it was Cao Hao, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hey, my cousin-in-law knows this person?" Nemin, who came in the same car, saw her sister-in-law's strange appearance and asked with a little surprise.

She is thirteen this year and should have participated in the Eight Flags draft. Because in the autumn, I had a rash and reported a postponement, so I don't need to be a candidate for the palace this year.

But her surname was lively, and she was so bored in the palace that she stuck behind her cousin and came out for a walk.

Speaking of which, she is not only the cousin of Yarjan'a's mother's family, but her grandmother is Yarjan's aunt, the eleventh Gege of the old Prince Zheng Zierharang.

Speaking of this background, he can also get his hands on it, and the Fujin who come and go to the palace will inevitably have inquiries.

I heard that there is a county king Fujin, who has fallen in love with Ne Min and asked the nobles in the palace to marry. But because of Ne Min's postponement of the election, he had no choice but to give up, and begged the above to point out the ladies of other people's families.

Ne Min lost her mother since she was a child, and although Yongjia is her cousin-in-law, she is young in the end, and it is not easy to teach her about men and women.

is muddy, although there is no difference in front of people, in private it is still a child's surname, and there is no fear of speaking.

Yongjia listened to Ne Min's words and woke up, and Yaerjianga and Cao Hao also looked over there.

Yongjia was wearing a royal blue leather silk colorful cloud dragon sea water robe, combing two hairpins, and a hairpin with gold and gems inserted on it, looking very graceful and luxurious.

Yarjianga smiled and said, "Yes, I have forgotten the origin of the two of you. ”

In Cao Hao's mind, he remembered the girl who loved to wear red clothes and didn't like pink delicacy, but she politely and thoughtfully greeted Yongjia with a smile.

Yongjia nodded, which was considered a return gift.

Immediately, she looked at her husband, Yaerjianga had already come over, picked up Zhen'er beside Yongjia, and said to Cao Hao with a little pride: "Cao Hao, this is the Liugege ...... of our house."

Cao Hao was accustomed to seeing the arrogant appearance in front of the Yaerjiang people, and it was the first time he had seen him like this.

Zhen'er "giggled", put her little hand around her father's neck, and turned her little head to look at Cao Hao.

If it weren't for the fact that Yarjianga and Yongjia were both wearing auspicious clothes, they would look like the joy of ordinary people.

Cao Hao was a little puzzled in his heart, all these years he had heard that Yaerjianga preferred "male style" and snubbed his wife and concubine, so the scandal in Prince Jane's mansion was not one or two.

Not to mention anything else, what happened to Liu Heng was heard by Cao Hao with his own eyes, and he believed it a little in his heart.

Yongjia pointed to marriage, and Cao Haoyuan was also worried that her surname was arrogant and couldn't stand the filth and complexity of the palace.

Humans are the easiest animals to adapt to, and they can almost gradually adapt to new conditions when they have no choice.

Cao Hao saw that the little girl was the same age as Tianyou, her eyes were dark, and when she thought that this was Yongqing's niece, she felt a little kind when she looked at it.

"Girl, speaking of which, this Cao Hao is your cousin-in-law. Come, call someone, let's ask for Cao Hao's meeting gift. Prince Jian hugged Zhen'er and said with a smile.

When Zhen'er heard this, she first looked back at Yongjia, and when she nodded, she turned her head and obeyed her father's order, and said in a milky voice: "Brother-in-law......"

Cao Hao looked at his eyes, and it was the first time he saw Yarjiang's warm appearance.

Since Prince Jian opened his mouth, the courtesy on his side was naturally indispensable. In the purse, there are jade materials and golden melon seeds, which are used to reward people, but this is not for the little Gege in front of him.

He pondered for a while, untied the beeswax Ruyi pendant hanging from his waist, sent it forward, and said to the little girl gently: "If Xiao Gege doesn't dislike it, take it and play with it......"

As he spoke, he turned his head to Yarjianga and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, this thing is not an ordinary thing, I came from the Great Lama Hutuketu from Mongolia this time. Things are not valuable, but they are auspicious. ”

Because the first emperor Shunzhi and the current queen mother both worship the Buddha, up and down, the major palaces in the capital also have many Buddhist halls.

Yarjianga listened to Cao Hao's words, and a smile appeared on his face, but he was satisfied.

Ne Min's surname is lively, and he can't help but look over.

Yarjianga handed Zhen'er to his wife, and then took the pendant from Cao Hao's hand, handed it to Ne Minyan, and said, "Take it and help Zhen'er keep it." ”

Ne Min took it with a smile, took it to the side, and studied the cloud pattern on it with Zhen'er.

Another carriage and horse entered the gate, Yongjia told Yaerjianga and Cao Hao, and took Zhen'er and Nemin into the inner house first.

Before Yaerjianga and Cao Hao entered the Yimen, they saw the fourth elder brother personally greet them.

Eight iron hat kings, Prince Jane's mansion is also one of the best families.

Yarjiang's great-grandfather, Prince Zheng Jierharang, is the only prince who has ever received the honorific title of "Prince Shu Heshuo" since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

Even though Dolgon claimed to be the "regent of the imperial father" when he took power, he was not officially crowned by the imperial court.

Now, Yarjianga is also the commander of the Zongren Mansion and is the first person of the kings of the clan.

Even if the fourth elder brother is a prince, it is not easy to slack off, and when he heard that he had arrived, he had to come out to greet him in person.

Yarjianga had already smiled, returned to his old state, and congratulated the fourth elder brother on his birthday lukewarmly.

The fourth elder brother is not a hot person, and the two of them follow the rules, so that Cao Hao on the side looks at it, and they are tired and panicked for them.

The fourth elder brother met Yaerjiang'a, only then did he look at Cao Hao, nodded, and said: "After listening to Fujin's mention, I knew that Lingtang was also born today, and I thought you were busy, so it was rare for you to come out." What is going on at the Yamen, do you want to report it first......

Listening to the meaning of the fourth elder brother, he already knew that he was going to work as an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, and he thought that it was the sixteenth elder brother who said it, and there was no one else.

Cao Hao leaned down and replied, "Everything has been packed up, and Ming'er will go over to go through the formalities." ”

The fourth elder brother nodded and said, "You are young, and the errands of the Internal Affairs Office are cumbersome, so you should pay more attention." If you make a mistake, you will have no face with the family when the time comes. ”

Cao Hao listened with his hands, but Yaerjiang's face came with doubts, and asked, "Cao Hao is going to transfer to the Internal Affairs Office?" It's not a great contribution, why is it still a lack of Langzhong? ”

When he said that, he himself felt that something was wrong, and said with a smile: "Yes, how can it be Langzhong?" Could it be that the emperor promoted Cao Hao to be the head of the Internal Affairs Office? ”

The fourth elder brother nodded yes, but Cao Hao was a little awkward.

It stands to reason that with the cold surname of the fourth elder brother, even if he really admonishes Cao Hao, he will not be in front of outsiders. This is a bit deliberate.

Cao Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, not because he didn't want to hug the thick legs of the fourth elder brother, but because the time had not yet come.

The Cao family is not from a high background, but it is a "new thing" that comes out every now and then, which often attracts the attention of the powerful in Beijing. If Cao Hao really threw himself under the Fourth Elder Brother now, it would be harmful to the Fourth Elder Brother.

Besides, there are still seven years before Kangxi is sixty-one years away, and although it is important to tie up Yongzheng, it cannot offend Kangxi.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were guests coming, Cao Hao said goodbye to the fourth elder brother and Yaerjiang, left the palace, and went to the palace.

Not far away, the fourteenth elder brother rode on a horse, looked at Cao Hao's back, and looked at the gilt plaque of the palace, couldn't help frowning, and cursed in his heart: What a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised...... * Caofu, Wutong Garden.

Because of the recuperation of the Li family's Orchid Courtyard, the female guests were invited here to entertain.

In the usual way, Gao Taijun can still stay closed, but today is for his daughter's birthday, and the old lady also changed into new clothes and came out to meet guests.

Cao Shuo "died", Jinghui, as a sister-in-law, had to serve five months of "Xiaogong", and last month was already full of filial piety. Therefore, today, she also accompanied her mother-in-law.

Zhao Jiashi was busy talking to several female guests, but Jinghui followed behind her sister-in-law, receiving greetings back and forth.

Although Gao Taijun is the mother of the Li family, he has no fate. She was wearing Hanfu again, and after the visitor came to deal with it, she didn't know what to say to the old lady, but she turned around and talked to Zhaojia.

It's not that Cheng Cheng is lazy, but in fact, the life history of these Li family members has almost been "verified" by everyone. The daughter of the eldest princess, the emperor's cousin, raised in the people.

In their hearts, they only regard Gao Taijun as the girl or the clothed person next to the eldest princess, and they are less respectful.

Gao Taijun sat for a while, feeling bored, so he went to the Orchid Courtyard to see the Li family.

Zhao Jiashi watched the old lady leave, but she sighed twice, quite touched.

At noon, Cao Song came back from duty and came directly to Xifu to help.

When Zhaojia got the news, he saw that his son and daughter-in-law were busy with Li's birthday, but Cao Hao, a serious son, was nowhere to be seen, and he was a little indignant.

Annoyed and annoyed, but she loves face, and doesn't want others to see that there is anything wrong with the Cao family's room and the second room, and she still has a smile on her face, only slandering in her heart...... * The Internal Affairs Office is a yamen serving the emperor and the imperial family, and the office is set up in Xihua Gate, west of the right wing gate. However, there is no quota for the head of the internal affairs office, sometimes it is one, sometimes it is several.

In addition to the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior, the seven departments and three courts below often set up ministers who are also in charge.

Now, with the title of Minister of the Interior of the Prime Minister, in addition to Cao Hao, there is also a university scholar Ma Qi.

Today, Ma Qi is not there, and the holy driver moved to Changchun Garden, wanting to come to him to obey orders in front of the emperor. There is only one sitting hall and two hall masters on duty.

They haven't gotten the news yet, but they are not surprised that there are more officials, this general manager has no quota, and there are five or six at most.

Cao Hao is a Shangguan, but he came to go through the motions first, and then went out of the palace and returned home.

When he arrived at the mouth of the alley, Cao Hao saw a few horses parked on the side of the road in front of him, but there were acquaintances on horseback.

The one with a pockmarked face and a grinning smirk, officially Cao Hao had paid attention to Li Wei of Xuzhou.

"Master Cao, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Li Wei saw Cao Hao, turned over, and strode over. Behind him, followed by a man in his thirties, but he was tall and had the style of a martial artist.

For Li Wei, who is surnamed open-minded and bold, Cao Hao is also quite flattering, dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and Brother Jue is fine......
