Hongming is just a guest, and not a close guest. Such a big lama is a bit rude to the "relatives and elders" of the Cao family.

However, growing up in the palace, everyone can change their faces.

Hongming already had a warm face, and said to Yi Duli: "Oh, it turns out that Lord Yi and his brother-in-law are in-laws, it seems that there is no need to look for Uncle Sixteen when I go to the Internal Affairs Office in the future, and I have to ask my lord to take care of him more." ”

"The second elder brother's identity is precious, where can't the slave take care of it? The second elder brother commanded, the slave dared to disobey his orders? Iduli replied neither softly nor hard.

He was born in a prime minister's house, and he also has a bit of arrogance. Hongming gave him no face in plain water, where is he still impatient to deal with it?

What about the emperor's grandson? In the spirit of the emperor's dragon horse, the prince's elder brother gave birth to more than 30 people, and the preface is twenty-four elder brothers. Except for a few little brothers, the other princes and brothers are all biological sons.

There are always hundreds of emperors and grandsons in this capital. After all, Hongming has no lord and no errand, and not everyone is holding the thigh of the fourteenth elder brother and coming up to slap him.

Hongming was pushed over by Yi Duli's words that were neither soft nor hard, his face was a little unsightly, and he looked at Cao Hao, the proprietor of the banquet, waiting for him to round the field.

Where will Cao Hao follow his heart, to tell the truth, I really want to offend him.

In the past two years, he has not been in the court, and he has watched coldly, Cao Hao has already seen that Kangxi just painted a cake for the fourteenth elder brother.

As a "Taiping" monarch, and after the Eight Banners gained a firm foothold in the Guannei, it was the time when it was necessary to "rule the culture" to support the people, where would the "martial arts" emperor be needed as a successor?

Seeing that Hongming couldn't get off the stage, Cao Hao only pretended to be stupid, so he didn't bother to hand him the steps.

"The second elder brother is a distinguished guest, it's not good to be lazy, come, open another table, please sit with the second elder brother and Brother Fupeng." The first sentence was said by Cao Hao to Hongming, but the back was to order the Cao family who was waiting next to him.

This can't be said to be unruly, after all, the sixteenth elder brother and Yi Duli are Cao Hao's elders, and Hongming and Fupeng are peers and juniors, so it's common to do it separately.

The little guy answered, the sixteenth elder brother had already pulled Yi Duli to sit down and talk, Hongming stood on the side, but he couldn't stay a little, squeezed out a little smile, and said: "If the birthday gift is delivered, I won't beg for mercy, and I have to go to the fourth uncle's house to ask for peace......"

Cao Hao politely left a few words and asked Wu Sheng to send him out.

When Hongming went out, his anger was already a little uncontrollable, but he couldn't force Cao Hao to put the two "elders" aside and send him out.

After all, in terms of status, he, the imperial grandson, is no better than the sixteenth elder brother, the prince.

In this seat on the screen, there are only three people: Sixteen Elder Brothers, Cao Hao, and Yi Duli. The sixteenth elder brother sat in the center, Yidu stood on his left hand, and Cao Hao on his right hand.

Seeing that Hongming was gone, Cao Hao personally held the pot and leaned over to pour wine for the sixteenth elder brother and Yi Duli.

He didn't salute the two of them first, but punished himself with a cup, and said, "Okay, it's all mine to delay the opening of the table." ”

The sixteenth elder brother knew that he was making amends to Yiduli and looked at Yiduli.

Yi Duli had turned from anger to frustration, tilted his neck, drank the wine in his glass, and said with a wry smile: "If Fu says this, it will be a foreign way." Or am I not useful, I have been out for more than 20 years, and I am still in the fifth grade when I am not confused, how can I complain that others look down on me? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was heavy, the sixteenth elder brother hurriedly said: "Pull it down, Lao Yi is also content." Let's just say that those Jinshi who are from the right brand, in the year of the sixtieth year, it is not uncommon for Ren Zhi County. The master is also a general thirty now, and he has been on an errand for more than ten years, and he hasn't even mixed up with a general Feng'en, and he hasn't complained......"

In one sentence, Cao Hao and Yi Duli both laughed.

Iduli was not a disappointer, and when he put down his glass, his earlier frustration had vanished...... In the inner courtyard, Fu Peng accompanied Bao Ya to talk in the water pavilion, and Arslen also sat under Fu Peng's head and accompanied him.

After a while, I saw Chu Yu come over in person to inquire in detail.

Seeing this, both Fuppen and Arslen got up from their seats.

Hongming, who came with Fupeng, is gone, so is it okay to leave Fupeng and Alslen to sit at the water pavilion. The big guys are all close relatives, so it's naturally cheaper.

Bao Ya couldn't wait to stay with her nephew for a while, so she naturally nodded, and only said that she asked Chu Yu to bother.

Chu Yu still had a female guest to accompany, so after saying a few words, he went over to accompany the guest.

Speaking of which, Fu Peng was born on June 26, the 47th year of Kangxi, and his birth was almost the same as Cao Hao.

Baoya, who is an aunt, is naturally also attentive and prepares clothes, shoes and socks by herself. They are all made of the best materials, and they are also the most lining royal blue.

After all, she has been a mother for many years, and now her needlework is not very good, and she can't compare with those needlework people, but she finally doesn't show her stitches, and she can barely see people.

Fu Peng said that he was wearing this garment, which was sent to the palace by Baoya a few days ago. The sleeves are a little long and have been embellished with stitches.

Bao Ya saw that her nephew had a heart, and her heart was also happy...... Not to mention the reunion of Baoya and Fupeng, let's just say that this Hongming came out of Cao's house and returned to the palace hungry.

The so-called going to the fourth elder brother's mansion to ask for peace is just a pretext. Because the fourteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother are not close, Hongming also avoided the uncle who was close to him.

Back in the palace, the next person put the meal, but Hongming held back the fire in his belly, dealt with two mouthfuls indiscriminately, and put down the chopsticks.

He didn't know whether he was annoyed by Cao Hao's "slackness", or annoyed by Yi Duli's ignorance, or annoyed by the freedom of the sixteenth elder brother.

In this royal family, the mother is more precious than the son, and the son is more precious than the mother.

A prince with a low maternal family like the sixteenth elder brother should be like the seventh elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, and be a man in peace; The sixteenth elder brother has been the most favored by the emperor over the years.

And because he does not fight for the throne, he is smooth, and he is also close to the princes.

Hongming forgot that it was true that he was a son-in-law, but he was not a grandson, and his identity was not more noble than that of the sixteenth elder brother.

He looked down on the sixteenth elder brother, and felt that the princess was from a low background, and she was a few Han girls who weaved in the early years of Jiangnan to "pay tribute", but he forgot that his own grandmother was born in Baoyi, and he was not a good background when he was selected to enter the palace.

Thinking of the gray face in Cao's house, Hongming was indignant.

He narrowed his eyes, summoned someone, whispered a few questions, and then got up and went to the palace.

Recently, the weather is fine, and Kangxi has to walk by the sea every time after dinner.

The two grandchildren "met unexpectedly", and Kangxi had to call this grandson and chat a few words.

Although Hongming is seventeen, he is still in the study and has not come out on an errand, so he also knows how to avoid it, and he never mentions government affairs, but just talks about family things.

Seeing that his grandson was flattering, Kangxi's face was warm, and his heart was not happy.

has been an emperor for more than 60 years, he is naturally a fire-eyed Jin Jing, and Hongming's little cleverness is not in Kangxi's eyes.

Hongming came in a negative mood to give the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao some eye medicine. He also saw that Cao Hao was "timid as a mouse" and was not a person with courage.

On the bright side, he does not stand in line or form a party, but inherits the tradition of the Cao family and is a "pure minister"; In fact, he was afraid of being implicated in the seizure of the heir, so he avoided it.

Thinking of Cao Hao's alienation from himself, Hongming felt disgusted.

is cheap, just because he borrowed the light of his father's ancestors, married the emperor's grandson Gege, and attacked the earl, so he should be a few catties and taels for himself.

Although he despised Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother in his heart, because of his fear of Kangxi, he didn't dare to bring out the ridicule, and just turned the topic to Rehe's recently popular "cigarette holder".

"No wonder Uncle Sixteen relies on Cao Eyu, Cao Eyu's name as a 'fortune boy' is really not false, and his grandson is convinced...... This is only a short period of effort, and the sixteenth uncle is about to search all the silver in the pocket of the Mongolian prince...... In the future, if Huang Mafa uses silver in the inner treasury, he should make Cao Efu think about it, and it will ......be good immediately," Hongming said with a smile and "casually".

Shangjia is a small way, although Kangxi is not happy that his son earns the silver of the Mongolian prince, but he is not satisfied with Cao Hao's "inaction" in the past six months.

The head of the household is in charge of a country's finances, not a child's house.

If you want the treasury to be rich, you have to think of a serious way, not just a small business and a small thing.

Therefore, listening to Hongming's words, he snorted coldly.

Among them, there is not only dissatisfaction with Cao Hao's "lack of courage", but also disdain for Hongming's cleverness.

His words erased the credit of the sixteenth elder brother in the internal affairs office, and said that the friendship between the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao was used.

In Hongming's heart, Huang Mafa was dissatisfied with the fact that the sixteenth elder brother was doing business in the name of the Internal Affairs Office, and secretly rejoiced, bowed his head and said: "Compared with the sixteenth uncle, the grandson is really self-ashamed...... When the sixteenth uncle was as old as his grandson, he had already come out of the study to work as an errand, but the grandson was dull and had to study......"

Kangxi glanced at him, there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, but his tone was calm and tight: "You have different identities, you don't have to compare them together." Your task is to study well and become familiar with the way of government......"

Hongming "complained" about his two sentences, because he was envious that the two sons of the Third Elder Brother Mansion and the Fifth Elder Brother Mansion had been on errands for many years, but he was so old that he was still studying in the study.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi said such a sentence.

Although the outside world has discussed the matter of the fourteenth elder brother as the prince, Hongming is also faintly regarded as the prince of the prince's family, but after all, there is no quasi-letter, and Hongming is also worried.

Unexpectedly, just by this sea, in the gossip of the ancestors and grandchildren, Kangxi would say such "cranky" words.

Hongming felt that his body was soft and could barely stand, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi was unconscious, because the sky was getting dark, he thought it was dark clouds, and raised his head.

After just one glance, his face changed color...... Shuo said that the eclipse, Qin Tianjian did not have a relevant forecast in advance.

The military disaster in the northwest, the civil unrest in the southeast, and the drought in the Central Plains...... In time for the eclipse, the foolish people were ignorant, and they did not know that the change of the moon and stars was a natural principle, and only regarded the abnormal change as a warning from heaven...... Shuo said that the food, in the eyes of the people, how will they view him as the emperor...... Kangxi only felt that his mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and his eyes turned black for a while...... I heard Hongming next to him a little anxious, and shouted: "Huang Ma Fa ......"

Although in the upper study, Hongming also knows something about the Western astronomical calendar, but he does not fully believe it.

This year's climate is abnormal, the Central Plains is drought, the lake is wide and the rain is a disaster, and now there is a new eclipse...... Hongming didn't think of God's warning, but "Tiangu swallowed".

There are no two kings in the country, and there are no two in the sky.

Huang Marfa has reached the end of his life...... Hongming helped Kangxi, and his heart "plopped" and "plopped" straight up, it seems that it is really a wise move to let Ama return to Beijing to resume his post...... * Eat, eat.

It can't be said that the food is unusual, but it can be seen in Rehe, and it is not encountered in a hundred years.

On the side of Cao's house, the guests came to drink for three rounds, said goodbye and left, and Cao Hao came out to see off the guests.

Just in time, it was at this time that the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was time to eat.

Except for Cao Hao, everyone's faces changed. They stopped, and in the courtyard of Cao's house, they stood in twos and threes, looking up at the sky and whispering.

Seeing this, Cao Hao hurriedly said: "It is said that eating hurts your eyes, you can't look directly, let's go back to the hall and wait." ”

Everyone was afraid, and they all fell silent, and returned to the flower hall with Cao Hao.

Cao Hao made people light the lamp, and thought about making people go to the inner courtyard to spread the word, so that some people didn't know, and directly watched the eclipse, hurting his eyes, and heard a faint sound of blowing.

This is a folk custom, when eating, to make a sound to scare off the "tengu".

Yi Duli and the sixteenth elder brother were drunk, waiting for Cao Hao to send off the guests, and everyone drank the second one.

Hearing the movement outside, the two came over with a full body of alcohol.

"It's time to take the lights?" Seeing that the lights were on in the hall, Idu said with a big tongue.

"Eclipse!" Cao Hao replied.

Seeing that everyone was breathing, the sixteenth elder brother also felt heavy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Shuo said...... ...... Eclipse

"Food? Tengu eats the sun......" Itari drank, but some people came to the door with crazy surnames, dancing and walking, and said, "Tengu...... Where......"

Because in the afternoon, the position of the sun was in the center of the west, so Iduli could not see it when he stood at the door of the flower hall, and he was about to go to the courtyard with his legs raised.

It just so happened that Cao Hao had just sent the little guy over, and there were two people behind him, both holding a stack of glazed tiles in their arms.

Cao Hao took a piece and handed it to Yi Du Li and said, "My lord, use this to see clearly, and it won't hurt your eyes......"

Yi Duli took a piece and ran into the courtyard to look up at the food.

The two subordinate officials of the household next to him, the Sichuan Division, showed a little curiosity when they saw this, and looked at the glazed tiles in the arms of the little girl.

Seeing this, Cao Hao pointed to the glazed tiles, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this eclipse is an astronomical wonder, everyone wants to see it, there is glass here to protect ...... eyes."

Some of the older officials are already looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, and they don't know what scriptures they are reciting in their mouths; The young man, who couldn't resist his curiosity, took the glazed tiles from the little guy and went to the yard.

If it is a peaceful year, even if there is eclipse, there will be no big waves.

This year is eventful, and this eclipse has appeared in the place where the emperor is taking refuge in the summer...... Even if Cao Hao is not superstitious, he can't be relaxed.

He turned around and happened to see the worried appearance of the sixteenth elder brother.

"Sixteenth Master......" Cao Hao called in a low voice.

The sixteenth elder brother's voice trembled a little, and said, "Look outside......"

It turned out that it was completely dark outside...... In the 60th year of Kangxi, Geng Yinshuo in July, said total eclipse, Rehe day and night...... * Historically, this eclipse was on the first day of the sixth month of the leap month, not July......
