Chu Yu has been pregnant for more than five months, her belly has begun to show her pregnancy, and she has become lethargic and sleepy.

The partial birth is approaching the end of the year, and there are still many chores in the house, so Cao Hao is not at ease, so he asks Father-in-law Tian to help. Father-in-law Tian has been in the house for more than two months, and he entrusts the housework with each other, which can be regarded as "justifiable".

It was not Ambassador Cao Haotuo who called him, but he took the initiative to ask for it.

After all, the emperor's edict was to ask him to come to Caofu on an errand, and his bones would be rusty if he stayed like this.

In addition to Father-in-law Tian, Tian and Niuniu are also often in Wutong Garden, and in recent years, they have followed Chu Yu and learned to be a housekeeper. Niuniu only learned it in the past two years, and Tian learned it when she was still alive in Amethyst.

Although the three of Tian's mother and son are now living in Cao Mansion, when the Zuozhu brothers grow up, marry a wife and have children, they still have to stand on their own.

Since the business in Guangzhou was collected, Cao Hao gave her part of Tian's principal, and the rest was purchased one after another. Now, these account books are in the hands of Tian himself.

Niuniu is getting older and will be out of the cabinet in a few years, so Chu Yu will take her to teach.

The two are called sisters-in-law, but who doesn't know that Chu Yu hurt her child.

The triennial draft has finally settled.

Baylor Mansion, the royal residence of the clan, many people are happy events. Even ordinary officials and eunuchs also took advantage of the year-end work to hire.

The fourth elder brother of Chunjun Wangfu, Hongxin, pointed to his wife Dong E, who is the niece of Jiufujin, because it is a partial branch, her father's official position is not obvious, her grandfather has been a Taoist platform during his lifetime, and his father is now serving as a minister.

Hongxin is twenty this year, and it stands to reason that he should have been pointed at three years ago. But at that time, it was just in time that the Nala clan was not in good health, and the house was in a mess, and he didn't have the heart to do a happy event, so he delayed it.

This brother-in-law has loved to stick to Chu Yu and Cao Hao since he was a child, and he has the deepest relationship with them.

He is neither a grandson nor a long-term, and even if he is knighted in the future, he will only be a general of Zhenguo. Therefore, Cao Hao and Chu Yu prepared a piece of good land for him to do as private property according to the example of Hongzhuo back then.

The wedding date of the fourteenth elder brother-in-law Hongming was also set, and on November 30, he married directly in the palace.

The sixteenth elder brother also got two concubines, and I heard that Concubine Yi pointed them out. Because his status is not high, he didn't have a banquet.

The most annoyed is Concubine De, her two maiden nieces and granddaughters, originally thought that Hongming would not be able to do it, so she pointed out to the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother as side blessings, not wanting to be rejected by Kangxi, saying that the identity was not enough.

Although it is the truth, it hurt Concubine De's face in the end.

She was supposed to "recuperate" because she was uncomfortable, but the fourteenth elder brother went to ask for peace, and she didn't know how to comfort her, but she finally got better.

The two nieces and granddaughters, since they have left the brand, they must always have an explanation. But at this time, the emperor's grandson and the high-ranking clan were almost pointed, and in desperation, they pointed to the two clan generals.

Everywhere is the atmosphere of happy events, every time you take a carriage to the yamen, you can hear the sound of firecrackers on the road.

Occasionally, when you take a break and go out to socialize, it is also a wedding banquet for each family.

Watching others marry women, Cao Hao thought of the children at home, and also gave birth to a sense of aging.

At this time, it was a thunderstorm on the ground, and someone knocked on it.

He dismissed his post and accused the governor of the river, Zhao Shixian, of embezzling money and conniving at his family to accept bribes.

It was really a shock to a thousand waves, which caused the government and the opposition to boil.

That is, there was a decree to come down, and Zhao Shixian, the governor of the river, went to Beijing to hear the trial, and the printing was handled by Chen Pengnian, the editor-in-chief of Wuyingdian.

This river yamen, which involves the errand of the six provinces, is a big fat meat. There are so many people who bite this way, everyone is naturally afraid of climbing out, so they wait with their necks on their backs.

The person in charge of presiding over this matter is Zhang Pengxi, the secretary of the ministry, who has been up and down in the sea for decades, and he doesn't know how powerful it is.

There was a lot of noise, and in the end, there was still a lot of thunder and a little rain.

The pen post style of the knock was designated as a "false accusation", and Zhao Shixian was demoted by six levels due to improper election of officials. On the contrary, the two subordinate officials of the river were charged with embezzling the "Lu Class", and they were dismissed from the ministry for interrogation and punished severely.

This knock also affected the household.

However, there are four elder brothers sitting in the household department, and they act in an orderly manner, and the accounts between this and the river yamen are clear and checkable, and they can't find anything.

It's just that Cao Hao watched coldly and became more and more frightened.

In this officialdom, it is really frightening step by step. If the grade is low, even if he abides by his duty, he may not know when he will be guilty of the crime; If the grade is high, the Son of Heaven is close to the minister, and he has to carry the emperor's "black cauldron".

Thinking that Cao Xiang was outside, Cao Hao was a little uneasy, and the correspondence between the brothers was more frequent than in the past.

In December, the aftermath of the knocking case was not over, and the governor of Shanxi, Su Kejiding, was relieved of his position, and the cabinet bachelor Deyin was appointed as the governor of Shanxi.

Although according to etiquette, it is the case for officials to worry about it, but the banner people are not like the Han people who value filial piety. Han officials are worried, and there are few people who win affection; The full official piece depends on the emperor's mood.

Just like Jueluo Manbao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is also Ding Muyou, who is retained by affection.

Like the Cao family and the Li family, because they are royal coats, the emperor wants loyalty, and he is free from worry.

Su Keji lost his sacred heart, and he has already followed his deeds.

After the examination in February this year, the "fraud case" was inquired, and although there was no evidence in the end, among the courtiers named by Kangxi, there was Su Keji, and his two nephews were on the list.

This is the third Governor to leave office in a year. The first two were Jiang Chenxi, the governor of Yunnan, who was ordered to send grain into Tibet; There is also the former governor of Shaanxi, Ehai, who went to Turpan to farm.

These are all old ministers, and they were all rewarded by Kangxi in their early years.

Originally, Cao Hao thought that it was because of the geographical location of Yunnan and Shaanxi, which made Kangxi jealous and replaced the courtiers in these two places, saving them from connecting with the fourteenth elder brother in the northwest army.

This time, even the governor of the river and the governor of Shanxi were replaced, which was a lot of thought.

You must know that Chen Pengnian, who replaced Zhao Shixian as the acting governor of the river, is a notoriously upright person. has been an official for more than ten years, has been in Jiangnan, has offended two governors of Jiangnan, was falsely accused and beheaded for the first time, and was spared death; The latter time was defeated by Kali and was recalled to the capital to repair the book, and this silence was more than ten years.

Such a person has no foundation at all.

Another cabinet bachelor Deyin is also not famous, before the first appearance.

This is dealing with the old minister, Cao Hao was secretly frightened.

I don't know if Kangxi's intention was to protect his courtiers, or just in case.

A newly appointed governor and a governor who has been in office for many years have no equal influence in the local area.

Next year will be the sixty-first year of Kangxi, Cao Hao only remembers two things about this year, one thing is that Kangxi is fortunate to meet Hongli, and the other is that Kangxi died.

For some reason, thinking about this makes people feel a sense of urgency.

In a blink of an eye, on the fourth day of the lunar month, Hongxin married a wife.

Cao Hao and his wife took Tianyou and Hengsheng to the Chunjun Mansion to eat and drink, and Tianyou and Hengsheng met the Hongli and Hongday brothers of Prince Yong's Mansion for the first time.

These two little elder brothers are the same age as Chu Yu's half-brother Hongjing, Prince Yong's Mansion and Chunjun Wangfu are inlaid with white flags, these leather boys have met in the white flag official room, and somehow have a friendship, but they are closer than other cousins.

This Tianyou is the grandson of the county king's mansion, and being with these little brothers is not considered a life.

Tianyou's appearance, combined with the strengths of his parents, is clear and beautiful, and Hongli and Hongjing are also willing to be close to him. Hengsheng has a tiger head and a tiger brain, honest and cute, but it is right for Hongday's appetite.

Hongday is lively and active, and he thinks that the wedding banquet is boring, and he heard that Hengsheng is powerful, so he pulls Hengsheng and runs to the school to play. Although the big guy is the first time to see him, the little brother is warm, and Hengsheng naturally listens with a smile.

Hongjing and Hongli are the two of them, but they feel cold outside, and they want to take Tianyou to Hongjing's courtyard to see the kaleidoscope. Tianyou was not worried about his younger brother, so he wanted to go with Hengsheng, but was persuaded by Hongli.

On the edge of the school field, there is a piece of cast iron, which is usually used by the head of the Fuzhong school to gather guards.

Now, in the freezing season, a layer of hoarfrost hangs on the outside of this cast iron.

Hongyang has always been used to mischief, and after two circles around this piece of cast iron, he stopped, had an idea, and his eyes fell on Hengsheng.

Hengsheng was stupid, unaware, and compared a few stone piers on the ground, trying to show his strength to his new friends.

"Hengsheng, come here!" Hongday's eyes rolled wildly, smiling like a thief, beckoning Hengsheng to pass.

"What?" Hang Seng stood up, wondering why this new friend was smiling so happily.

"Hang Seng, look, what is this?" Hongyang pointed to the hanging cast iron: "This is the frosting from the cast iron, but it is sweet." ”

Hengsheng tilted his little head, but he was a little puzzled.

Hongday's eyes were shining, he took a sip from the cast iron, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's so sweet!" ”

Children love sweets, and Hang Seng is no exception, but Chu Yu is afraid that children will eat their teeth, so he has some control over their sweets.

Hengsheng listened to Hongyang's words, and didn't understand why there was frosting on this thing outside.

Seeing that he didn't squeak, Hongday pulled down his little face and said, "The master still can't fool you?" If you don't believe it, you lick it yourself. ”

Where can Hengsheng withstand this, give birth to little arms, and learn from Hongyang's appearance, rubbing the frost on the cast iron.

Hongtian stopped his arm and said, "Lick it directly with your tongue, it's sweeter." ”

Hengsheng didn't doubt him, scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Then I can lick it here, and leave the rest to my brother and a few elder brothers." ”

"Uh-huh!" Hongyang smiled and nodded, watching Hengsheng lean towards the cast iron.

This number nine weather, the hot little tongue, when it comes to the cast iron, sticks all at once, where can it be returned.

Not only the tongue, but even half of Hengsheng's lips were glued to the cast iron.

Hengsheng only felt that his tongue was numb, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't, so he could only "woo" and ask Hongtian for help. For a moment, the little face was flushed, and tears had come out.

Hongday's prank succeeded, and he wanted to laugh, but when he saw Hengsheng's pitiful appearance, he was also a little shocked.

"Shut your mouth and put your tongue back!" Hongyang stepped forward and said in a panic.

Hengsheng made a great effort, and did not retreat from the front of the cast iron, not to speak, and his tongue was numb and numb.

He just felt that he couldn't breathe, the corners of his mouth were all Hala, and his little face had turned from red to pale......
