City, the Ministry of Rites Yamen.

Respecting the holy decree, a banquet was held in the Ministry of Rites to entertain Kong Yu, the sixty-seventh generation grandson of Confucius, who entered Beijing to see His Majesty. Cao Yin, as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied the banquet with several university scholars and several other scholars and waiters of the Ministry of Rites.

Kong Yu, one year older than Cao Yin, has been the Holy Duke of Yan for 50 years.

As early as the twenty-third year of Kangxi, when Kangxi came to Qufu in person, Cao Yin and Kong Yu met. When Cao Yin arrived outside the south of the Yangtze River, he also passed through Qufu several times on the way to Beijing, visited the Yansheng Mansion, and had a personal relationship with Kong Yu.

It's just that at the feast, the two didn't have time to say goodbye; It wasn't until the feast was over that we had the time to gossip.

After seeing His Majesty, Kong Yu will leave for Qufu the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow will have a banquet for several in-laws in the capital courtyard, and Cao Yin is also among the banquets.

sent Kong Yu's car away, and the officials who accompanied the banquet also returned home one after another.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the chief housekeeper Cao Zhong come forward to say goodbye, and said: "Master, the third master of this family has brought the third grandmother to ask for peace, because the master is not there, he has already asked his wife to say goodbye." Now, the third grandmother asked the wife to stay and talk, and the third grandmother has been waiting for the master in the front hall for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Cao Yin nodded, and went to the front hall.

When he entered the room, Cao Yin saw a person standing with his back to the door, like calligraphy and painting on the screen in the appreciation hall. Hearing footsteps, the man turned around. I saw that he was wearing eighty percent of the new regular clothes, with a long face, a short beard, and an age of twenty-seven or eight.

Ten years ago, Sun Taijun died of illness, and when Cao Yin helped Ling to go north, he had seen Cao Qi, so he recognized it at a glance. The young man in front of him who looked honest and wooden was his cousin Cao Qi.

It takes a while. Cao Ji had already knelt down. Said: "My nephew has seen my uncle. Say hello to my uncle. ”

Cao Yin stepped forward. Put your hands around him. I looked up and down. There are a lot of feelings. "Get up." How many of us are on the ground? This is a blink of an eye. I haven't seen you in more than ten years. They are all close relatives. It shouldn't be. ”

"Yesterday I arrived in the capital at night. Because it's a little late. I'm afraid of sparing my uncle and aunt. I didn't come. Cao Ji replied.

Two uncles and nephews. After the ceremony. The guests are seated.

"I've been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Is the errand decided? Cao Yin asked.

Cao Ji shook his head. Said: "I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." It's just that there is no suitable shortage for a while now. I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer. ”

The Cao family has been on an errand in the Internal Affairs Office for several lifetimes, and Cao Yin doesn't know about those bends in the Internal Affairs Office.

It's not that it's not lacking, I'm afraid it hasn't been dredged yet.

Although Cao Ji is Cao Yintang's nephew, after all, he has been out of Beijing for many years. In particular, the Cao family only has Cao Xi's banner, and the others are still coating under it.

Even if you want to buy the favor of the Cao family, you have to admit the affection of Cao Yin's father and son, and the others are really taken into account by those people.

Cao Yin pondered for a while and said, "You were on an errand in the guard office before, do you still want to go back there?" Your second brother is also in the guard office now, if you want to go back to the guard's office, Ming'er I will take you to the mansion of several adults in the guard office. \\\\”

The Minister of the White Banner of the Guard Department was originally the Auxiliary Duke E Fei and the first-class meritorious Fu Erdan, and after E Fei died of illness, he was filled by the deputy capital of the Yellow Banner Ba Hund.

Fu Erdan is now in the Northwest Army, and he is not in the army.

Cao Ji wanted to go back to the guard, in addition to greeting the minister of the interior with the white flag, he also had to lead the minister of the guard, Alinga, to the side of the minister.

Although Cao Yin didn't want to get too close to these royal relatives, after all, the person in front of him was not an outsider, he was a cousin who had not yet come out of five suits, and he also wanted to do his best.

Cao Ji's expression was very indifferent, and he bowed down and said, "Uncle is very loving, and my nephew remembers it." It's just that because his nephew and daughter-in-law are not in good health, his nephew doesn't want to go back to the guard's office, and he waits to see what the Internal Affairs Office is lacking. ”

"The body is not good, is it not adapted, or what? But did you ask for a doctor? Hearing this, Cao Yin said with a little worry.

"Chronic illness, although it is not sick, but the body is a little weak. The nephew pondered and asked the imperial doctor to come and see her in a few days.

Cao Ji replied.

Cao Yin nodded, and then asked, "Where do you live?" Otherwise, let's live in this house, there is an empty yard here, just two times to take care of it. ”

Cao Qi said: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, there is an old house outside the front door, and now I live there." If the nephew and daughter-in-law are in good health, the nephew is eager to serve on the uncle's side. It's just that she is a sick man, not to mention that she can't do her best, and she has to worry about her aunt, which is too troublesome. When she is well, we will come back to serve. ”

Cao Yin saw that he was reasonable, so he didn't force it, and said: "The imperial doctor who often comes to our house for diagnosis and treatment has good medical skills, and tomorrow I will ask someone to invite him over to give his nephew and daughter-in-law a good life." ”

Cao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, got up and bowed down and said, "If this is the case, the uncle is the nephew's great benefactor." ”

Originally, due to the estrangement of his ancestors, Cao Yin had little contact with this nephew, and he was very unfamiliar. Now, after this earnest conversation, seeing that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and has affection and righteousness for his wife, Cao Yin is also a little closer to this nephew in his heart.

"I'll eat here tonight, and I'll wash the dust on the mulberry forehead." With a smile on his face, Cao Yin said to Cao Qi, and then instructed the housekeeper to go to Dongfu to see if the Cao Xiang brothers were out of school, and if they were out of school, they would call Cao Xiang and their brothers over.

Cao Ji looked at it, and thought of the cousin who had been appointed as the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Cao Hao, and Shuo.

In his early years, at Sun Taijun's funeral, he had seen Cao Hao, and his only impression was that he was a good-looking child.

Unexpectedly, after ten years of hard work, that good-looking child, with infinite scenery, became the pillar of the Cao family.

Orchid courtyard, upper room.

Li looked at the nephew and daughter-in-law Wang in front of him, his face added pity, and said: "I have two old ginseng plants, I will ask someone to wrap them for you later, how can it be good if your body is so weak, you have to make up for it." ”

That Wang had an extremely beautiful face, but his face was dull, his lips were pale, and he didn't look angry.

Wang replied softly: "My nephew and daughter-in-law thanked my aunt. It's much better now, and I was dizzy after walking two steps earlier. ”

"In addition to the deficiency of qi and blood, what else does the doctor say? It's not good to be sick for a long time, so you have to take care of it early. Li took Wang's hand and said with a little worry.

Wang shook his head lightly and said, "Nothing else, the doctor said that you should recuperate, and you can't worry about it." There are a lot of things going on in the old house, and our wife has passed away again, so it is not allowed to be quiet. This time, our grandfather entered Beijing, and my nephew and daughter-in-law didn't want to follow. It was our father who said that it was cheap to seek medical treatment in the capital, and there was also recuperation, so he brought his nephew and daughter-in-law here. ”

As he was talking, Zhao Jia's family had already arrived with Jinghui, the fourth sister, and the fifth son.

Because relatives came, it was the Li family who sent someone to Dongfu to invite them.

Zhaojia is still in the filial piety period, rarely goes out, and rarely has the opportunity to meet guests, so he comes dressed freshly.

When the Wang family heard that it was an elder, Shanshan got up and said Wanfu, and then met with Jinghui again.

"Tsk, it's really like the people in the painting, but it's compared to these few in our family." Zhao Jia's

Wang, smiled and said to Li.

With Jinghui in front of him, Li couldn't say anything else, so he told the maid to carry a chair to Jinghui, and said, "You are a double body, you can't stand, sit down and talk." ”

Jing Hui blushed, glanced at her mother-in-law, and saw her nodding, before sitting sideways.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been back to my hometown, and it's the first time I've seen my nephew and daughter-in-law." Speaking of this, Zhao Jiashi turned his head and asked Li, "Sister-in-law, which is older than this eldest nephew or brother Hao?" ”

Li smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, my nephew is a snake, and he is five years older than Brother Hao. ”

Zhao Jiashi said with a smile: "It's rare, Brother Hao has these younger brothers, and finally there is an elder brother." In the future, there are people who can be cured...... Can help him. ”

Listening to this yin and yang weirdness, Li felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't bother to bother with her, and smiled and ordered someone to prepare a table......

Outside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's Mansion, study.

The fourth elder brother was wearing regular clothes, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his hand, and while dialing the Buddhist beads, he listened to Dai Jin's news inside and outside the capital in the past few days.

According to the news from Changchun Garden, Nalan Fusen, the first-class guard of the imperial front who was sent to Jinan on a business trip at the beginning of the month, has returned to Beijing and has already met the imperial driver. Because it was a private summons, the content of the discussion is unknown.

In the Nancheng Porridge Factory, several sick and weak old beggars died violently, and their bodies have been incinerated. It is suspected that Shi's porridge was caused by a problem, but no one reported it to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

Among the ministers of civil and military affairs, the head of the Hanlin Academy, Xu was ill, and he didn't even go to the banquet to invite the Holy Father.

The day before yesterday, the Cao family sent someone to Rehe to deliver a letter, and Cao Yintang's nephew and former second-class guard Cao Qi entered Beijing.

Miscellaneous news, the fourth elder brother frowned when he heard it.

Dai Jin had already finished his confession, and when he saw the fourth elder brother frowning, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fourth master, the day of Xu's illness is the same day as the Cao family sending someone to Rehe......

"Oh?" When the fourth elder brother heard this, he raised his head and asked, "How did the ten thousand taels of gold go?" Was it tossed out over there? ”

Dai Jin shook his head and said: "This hasn't been found out yet, but according to previous news, there is a henchman who left Beijing at the beginning of last month." Speaking of this, he was a little confused, and said: "I just don't know what kind of hatred there is for the Cao family, if you just say that you are the first to come out for the ninth elder brother, you will not be able to do this." ”

"10,000 taels of gold...... the fourth elder brother's face sank like water, and his eyes were full of anger: "The silverfish of the country...... Huang Ama is still too generous......"

Rehe, the garden of Chunwangfu.

Cao Hao looked at the letter in his hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jinan's "bounty" has been canceled, even if there are still some people on the road rushing here, as long as they deal with it for another half a month, it will be almost the same.

Although he didn't like to socialize before, it was really sad to be confined in the garden like now, and to go in and out with soldiers.

Thinking that the sixteenth elder brother had also been bored for a few days, Cao Hao hurried over and told the news.

The sixteenth elder brother was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Now Qi Min can also rest, he can't survive these days." The prison over there at the Yamen has been closed for more than 100 years. A farce is finally coming to an end. ”

"yes, it's a farce." Cao Hao thought of what his father said in his letter that it was Nalan Fusen who was ordered to go to Jinan Mansion to solve the matter, and he was moved with a little doubt.

If the government can solve the problem by intervening, then the weight of this so-called "reward" in the rivers and lakes is not heavy. According to common sense, even if the government wants to intervene, shouldn't it be at a loss and can't find a clue?

Nalan Fusen was ordered to arrest the person who was "rewarded" in less than a month after arriving in Jinan, which seemed to be too smooth.

After the sixteenth elder brother finished laughing, he also noticed that something was wrong, and stopped laughing: "In this way, isn't it really a farce?" Could it be that they are idle, making fun of people? ”

Cao Hao, who was open or not, didn't know, but he was just curious about what the person who would be escorted into Beijing was coming from.

"Sixteenth Master, I'm dead, who is the happiest?" Cao Hao asked.

The sixteenth elder brother didn't think about it, and said, "Then it goes without saying, naturally it's the ninth brother." He is a famous 'God of Wealth' in the capital, and he has been squeezed into disgrace by you, a 'good wealth boy', and I am afraid that I will eat your heart raw. ”

Cao Hao shook his head. said: "The eighth elder brother is in a predicament now, and the ninth elder brother will not do this again and make changes in vain."

Who else is there besides the silver that is looking forward to my death? ”

The sixteenth elder brother snapped his fingers and said: "Back then, Guishan became a lame man and lost his fame, and his hatred was deeper than the sea; During the epidemic in the capital that year, you and your fourth brother prevented the epidemic and blocked the gates of several Baylor mansions. In these mansions, there are family members who have died, and they don't dare to be angry with the fourth brother, so they can't be angry with you. The civil unrest in Shandong destroyed the pot Zhuangzi of many powerful people, and caused the imperial court to purge the liquor order. Well-informed, naturally know that the state is not chaotic, and if you have a bright brain, it is nothing to think of you...... In addition, this bidding of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, some old households did not prepare those silver, lost the bid, and smashed their jobs, who can they hate if they don't hate you......"

Speaking of this, the sixteenth elder brother shook his head, looked at Cao Hao and said, "Fu Ruo, look at your mix, you don't have many friends, and you are almost going to make enemies on all sides." ”

Cao Hao looked at the sixteenth elder brother, but the appearance of the fifteenth elder brother appeared in his mind.

Is it really an unknown so-called farce, or is it a "killing two birds with one stone" strategy?

For the eighth elder brother, Kangxi was already very jealous in his heart. Just like the abolished prince back then, so many crimes may not be related to the prince, but Kangxi is already suspicious, so of course it is "conclusive evidence".

Among the civil and military officials, there is no shortage of people who speculate on the Sacred Heart.

This reward happened to be when Brother Jiu lost the competition with Cao Hao's Internal Affairs Office, even if there is no evidence, I am afraid that many people will think of Brother Jiu.

Whether it is killing Cao Hao or blaming Brother Jiu, one of the two is not in vain.

It's just that the fourteenth elder brother on the front foot also made a "gentleman's covenant" with himself, and the fifteenth elder brother will do it next?

Not to mention anything else, even if these two little brothers really join forces to make trouble, where did the money come from?

Cao Hao was thinking hard, and the sixteenth elder brother patted him on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you speak, if you're afraid?" ”

Cao Hao shook his head with a smile, and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "Sixteenth master, Sukhbaru and the second junior are in the school field, let's also go over and see the excitement." ”

"Okay, I'm itching too." The sixteenth elder brother responded with a smile, and the two went out together.

Suzhou Weaving House, study.

Li Xu stood in front of the window, looking at the rockery in the courtyard in a daze, when he heard someone come in and say, "Father, the old lady is a little uncomfortable...... My wife asked my father to come over ......"

It was Li Xu's eldest son, Li.

When Li Xu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, turned around, and said, "Why is it uncomfortable, isn't it just a few days......
