Although it is already winter, it is not cold because the weather is fine and it is noon.

Yongqing rode on his horse, looked up at the blue sky, and sighed deeply, as if he wanted to exhale the turbidity in his chest.

Because he had already come to the wilderness and there were few pedestrians, he took the reins, pointed to the pavilion at the foot of the mountain in front of him with his horsewhip, turned his head, and smiled at Cao Hao: "Fu Ruo, let's compete today to see whose horse runs there first!" Speaking of this, he looked Cao Hao up and down, and said: "This trip to Mongolia, Fu Ruo has added a bit of pride!" ”

Seeing that Yongqing was in a good mood, Cao Hao was also interested, touched the horse's mane under him, and said with a smile: "Brother Shanyu, this horse can travel more than 10,000 miles with the younger brother, and it should not be underestimated!" ”

Yongqing patted his chest and said: "Brother's ability, you don't know yet, even if the horse is in the hands of my brother, he can be trained to be three-six-nine, not to mention that this 'eye-catching' can follow my brother for several years!" You have to use your strength to feed, don't pull too far, you don't have to be embarrassed in front of the boys! ”

Yongqing's mount is a jujube red horse, except for a white nose, there is no other color up and down the body. Because this white place is between the eyes, Yongqing named it "Dianjing".

Although Yongqing's words were a little ridiculous, they also showed a bit of publicity.

Cao Hao couldn't help but be stunned, remembering that when everyone first met in Jiangning many years ago, Yongqing gave the impression of being arrogant and flamboyant. It's just that the rules of a big family have worn away his sharpness, and the discordant relationship with his parents has made him learn to be cautious and rein in his previous surname.

Yongqing was full of confidence, and seeing that Cao Hao was silent, he raised his chin and said with a smile: "Hey, Fu Ruo, what's wrong?" You don't have to admit defeat first! ”

Cao Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, and smiled at Yongqing: "Which one admits defeat?" It's better than that, don't be annoyed if Brother Shanyu loses! ”

While talking, the two of them were almost ready, so they ordered the long-term servant who came to wait here.

"One, two, three, drive!!" With Yongqing's shouting, I saw the two horsemen galloping towards the foot of the mountain, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Xiao Man looked at the two horses that were gradually moving away, and said to Wei Hei on the side: "Uncle Wei, who do you say can win with Uncle Qing?" ”

Wei Hei looked at Cao Hao's back, and said casually: "Looking at Uncle Qing's strength, it's almost the same, and I don't know what joy happens!" ”

Xiao Man smiled: "What else can there be?" Isn't Grandma Qingda going to add Ding?! Speaking of this, seeing that Wei Hei was silent, he turned his head and asked Yongqing's housekeeper Qijin: "Big housekeeper, you say, is this the truth!" ”

Qijin's expression changed a little, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy, and after a long time, he replied without asking: "My grandfather...... My grandfather is going to participate in the martial arts next month......"

* At the foot of the West Mountain, Cao Hao only felt refreshed, hot, and very comfortable. At this time, he listened to Yongqing and said: "Isn't it good for Fu Ruo to look at his brother's skills?" It seems that next month's Enko, my brother will have some bottom in his heart! ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was surprised: "Brother Shanyu wants to participate in Enke? ”

Yongqing smiled and said "hehe" twice, "With my brother's skills, who are you afraid of in Sijiu City?" It's hard to say that the champion is not a warrior! ”

"Since my brother wants to be a leader, the younger brother asked him a few days ago...... Cao Hao was a little puzzled, and he didn't know if Yongqing was a temporary idea, or if he had already planned it.

Yongqing raised his head and said, "The dignified man of the Eight Banners, he should immediately make a name for himself and have a wife." Now, although my brother doesn't have his father and ancestor Yu Meng, he just doesn't have to bear the responsibility of the family in the capital, and he is really comfortable. Although I can make up for an official vacancy, I don't want to. Others have come up like this step by step, brother, what is it for me to take a martial arts exam? ”

With Yongqing's qualifications, if you want to ask for an outsider, it is not difficult to go from the guerrilla and co-leader of the third product to the defensive envoy and assistant leader of the fourth product.

This participates in the martial arts, seeks a martial arts scholar, even if it is a first-class champion, it is just a garrison or a thousand households of the fifth grade, and the others are the military attachés of the sixth grade and the sixth grade.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Hao said: "If my brother is impatient to stay in the capital and wants to be released, he may not have to take this martial arts road." ”

Yongqing turned his head and said to Cao Hao: "Fu Ruo's kindness, my brother understands it!" You are not a eunuch now, and you ask for favors in everything. For the sake of my brother, I have already bothered you a lot, do I still have to be shy and rely on my brother's support for a lifetime? Now go out and start steadily, and when there is a war in the future, you will wait for your brother! Speaking of this, his face was full of pride, and he beat his chest vigorously and said: "Your brother and I, Wanyan Yongqing, are not wasted people, and we will definitely become the famous generals of Manchuria!" Become the proud Amma of your children! ”

Cao Hao listened to Yongqing's bold words, and his expression couldn't help but be a little confused.

Everyone is in a hurry and is struggling. Ma Jun was released to be a magistrate four years ago, and when his term expired last year, he was promoted to a six-grade general judgment due to the evaluation of "Zhuo Wei", and he is still an official in Hunan; Although Gu Na was not promoted last year, he heard that the official reputation was outstanding and he was very respected by the officials.

Only Cao Hao himself, who has been boiling since the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, has been relieved after the fifty-first year of Kangxi, and continues to endure it to this day. Now, there are still nine years left before Kangxi's 61-year battle for succession ends, and he wants to keep messing around?

What if the fourth elder brother succeeds to the throne, the emperor in later generations is a "widowed and thin" king, and it is common for ministers to ask about their crimes. Later, he arrived in the Qianlong Dynasty, and the specific historical trend was no longer known to him.

In the twelve years since he came to this world, he has gone from a child trembling to the age of a weak crown, does he have to live the second half of his life like this?

Yongqing saw that Cao Hao was silent, thinking that he disagreed, and said with a smile: "What? If Fu Ruo looks down on his brother, he can't pass the exam? The title of the gold list, haha, is also the capital of my brother to show off in the future. Now, I'm from a professional class on the same day, be careful that we look down on you, a cute official! Tiancheng's boy, I heard that in the past few years, the two brothers and sisters have added three or four sons to him, and he can't think of his daughter. ”

Tiancheng is Ma Jun's word, because his father and uncle only have this one son, he shoulders two rooms to inherit the heir, Kangxi forty-eight years at the same time to take two rooms of the wife, regardless of size.

Cao Hao saw that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more and asked: "If Brother Shanyu is released, then the sister-in-law and niece ......?"

When Yongqing heard this, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "My brother just said that he didn't expect you, and this is going to be a gaffe!" Although your sister-in-law's maiden brother is also in the capital, he is not from the same mother, and the exchanges are only mediocre, and eighty percent can't be counted on. If my brother is on the list, he will probably be a petty official, where can he bring his family? When the time comes, you will have to entrust your sister-in-law and niece to Fu Ruo and her younger siblings! ”

Cao Hao said: "No matter what my brother is, I remember that my little brother fully supports it!" ”

Yongqing nodded vigorously and said, "Good brother, my brother didn't know you in vain!" However, there is a sentence that my brother wants to warn Fu Ruo ......" Speaking of this, he hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Jingming's matter, don't investigate it again, just throw it away!" Looking at Tian's surname Zi Xianshu, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's two nephews are also lively, Jing Mingquan has knowledge, and he will also deeply feel Fu Ruofu's great kindness! ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was very ashamed, and said in a low voice: "This is just a gesture, what I did with my brother must be nothing?" The elder brother doesn't have to worry about the younger brother, the younger brother has his own sense of proportion! ”

Seeing that he was stubborn, Yongqing frowned and said, "Why waste your efforts, even if you understand it, it will only make yourself more blocked!" You just listen to your brother's advice, and that's it! I know that you have the strongest friendship with Jingming, but let's redress Jingming's grievances, not at this moment. Hello Sheng pulled up two nephews, even if it is a great credit! ”

Cao Hao raised his head, glanced at Yongqing, and said for a while: "My brother stopped me like this, but because I knew the identity of the person behind the scenes, I knew that my younger brother couldn't mess with me?" ”

Yongqing nodded, and when he saw that Cao Hao was about to speak, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "If Fu Ruo don't embarrass my brother, even if you scold me for being unkind, Jingming's matter, my brother doesn't want to mention it again!" ”

Cao Hao's heart sank slowly, was it really the fourteenth elder brother who looked inconspicuous and did not show his mouth to Yongqing, who could make Yongqing keep his mouth shut?

The fourteenth elder brother Fujin is Yongqing's cousin Wanyan, so he becomes the support of the Wanyan family. Did you not want to go against the family, so Yongqing gave up, or was there another reason that I couldn't say?

* The southeast corner of Xicheng, Rongxian Hutong, outside Dong Efu.

Cao Song rode on horseback, looked at Dong E's Mansion with the gate closed in front of him, and sighed. He looked for a long time, but no one came out, so he sent the little maid Moshu to the alley to investigate.

After a while, Mo Shufang panted and urged the horse back, and said to Cao Song: "Second master, there are all official eunuchs living here, so it's really hard to investigate." However, I remember that when I was in Jiangning, I heard that the old lady of the Governor's Mansion was the most devoted to worshipping Buddha. Not to mention anything else, during the temple fair on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, the old lady should be out of the house! When the time comes, Miss Cousin ......"

Mo Shuda, who waited beside Cao Song, knew his father's thoughts, so he said so.

Cao Song listened to the front and was fine, but when he heard the back, he couldn't help blushing, glared at Moshu with a straight face, and said, "What are you talking about, where is Miss Biao?" Miss Shit Table! In the end, there was some indignation.

It turned out that after the Zhaojia family entered Beijing, they paid great attention to the nieces and nieces over there in Zhaojia's mansion. Among them, Ruhui, the niece of her brother Murtai, is particularly close. Ruhui is a grandson, two years younger than Cao Song, seventeen this year, and last year the draft was delayed due to illness.

Thinking that her daughter was old and would be over the age of the next draft, Murtai reported that she was over the age in Zhengbai Banner and had already approved her own marriage.

Zhao Jia's family took their sons to Beijing in such a hurry this year, most of them for Ruhui's niece. She has already spoken to her brother and sister-in-law, and expressed her intention to marry.

Murtai felt sorry for his sister's widow who was unemployed, and wanted to help, and he also planned to marry his daughter to his nephew. The mother of Ruhui looked down on Cao Song, and felt that his character was mediocre and his title was low, so he was not worthy of his own daughter. Therefore, she used the excuse that Cao Song was still in the filial piety period, and then discussed marriage after the filial piety was removed.

Although Zhao Jiashi knew that his sister-in-law was pushing him, he couldn't do it, so he nagged in front of his son several times.

The more you can't get it, the better it will fall in your eyes, in Zhaojia's heart, her niece Ruhui is the best candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law, and she praised and praised it in front of her relatives.

In the end, even the brothers Feng De and Feng Che knew that the fourth aunt had taken a fancy to the cousin of the third uncle's family, and they joked when they saw Cao Song. Speaking of this cousin Ruhui, she is like a little pepper, and when she was young, she dared to chase her cousins and cousins who pulled her pigtails with a feather duster.

However, the surname Zilie is more fierce, but this Zhaojia Ruhui looks good. If it weren't for the delay in the draft last year, with the family background, Mrs. Baylor and the royal side of Fujin would have deserved it.

Cao Song was impatient to listen, when he first arrived in the capital, he accompanied his mother to his uncle's house to ask for peace and met this cousin. Although I think it's good-looking, I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary.

Hearing that her name is "Ruhui", Cao Song's heart was a little uncomfortable; When he knew that his mother had the intention of marrying, Cao Song was even more unkind to this cousin. He was impatient to listen to such words as "Miss Cousin" and "Cousin".

Mo Shu stuck out his tongue, which saved him from committing the master's taboo, "hehe" twice, and said diligently: "Second master, why don't these two small ones take people to explore around again to see which place in Beijing is the most prosperous." It's only the second year of junior high school today, and there are more than ten days left, so it's all done properly for the master! ”

Cao Song's eyes lit up, and his face was a little more happy. However, when he thought of his mother, he still frowned, and said to the few elders who followed: "Master is not a fool, I know that you are sent by your mother!" Hmph, but you also have to remember who is your master! Ye is not as good-tempered as the uncle, if you dare to talk more, you will be unhappy, and you will even take your brothers and old mothers! ”

Among the few long-term followers, there was really a plan to send a message to Zhaojia's family, but now he has lost his mind. The uncle loves this younger brother the most, even if there is a second wife to support him at that time, they may not be able to get better. Therefore, they all responded in unison.
