The children invited Master Zongxin, and the Cao family began to prepare for Cao Fu's two-week humility;

In March, Cao Yi will be full of filial piety, and he himself will think about the resurgence. As he intended. He was reluctant to regain at this time.

Next year will be the 60th anniversary of Kangxi, if the fourth elder brother is really Kangxi's preferred heir, it will be fine, there will be no thunderous changes; If it is really according to the later history, the fourth elder brother is an edict, then the bloody rain in the capital is indispensable.

As for the argument of later historians that Kangxi's edict was Manchu and Chinese, and the "fourteenth elder brother" should not be tampered with with as "the fourth elder brother", Cao Po still agreed.

However, this does not mean that the fourth elder brother is "peacefully enthroned"

Take these princes and elder brothers who participated in the seizure of the heir, it is not difficult to forge a testament.

Let's look at August 15. Kangxi gave meat from Rehe and had a share of the Cao family, and Cao Yi didn't dare to think about luck. Thought that the emperor would allow himself to get out of the way.

On this day, Prince Yong's mansion in Andingmen was lively.

The little elder brother from the fourth elder brother side Fu Jin Nian's clan has passed a hundred days today. The fourth elder brother had a hard time, his sister-in-law died, and there were only three concubines in the house.

Nian's body has always been weak, and he has died young, and this little brother has been sick a few times since he landed.

The fourth elder brother loves his son. When naming his son, he did not start with "Hong" according to the rank of the emperor's grandson. Instead, it was named "Fuyi" to take its meaning of "blessing and peace".

The Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion has always been low-key, but this time for the sake of happiness for 100 days, it is a big feast for guests.

Nian's family was originally a well-known beauty in the clan, Fu Jin, and now she has given birth to a son, her eyebrows and eyes are merry, and she looks more and more graceful. Beautiful.

I saw that she was wearing a shirt with colorful embroidered folded branches and flowers on a silver and red background, and a light-colored pipa placket vest on her head, which was graceful and luxurious, with a bit of pretty.

Looking, just like the twenty-eight beauties, not only reflects the beauty of Sifujin and others. Even a room full of female guests could match her.

Although Nian's family is the prince's side blessing, in terms of grade, it is higher than Mrs. Bei Lechang and Mrs. Bei Ziyan. The room was full of female dependents, who were of higher grade than her. It is the fortune of several royal palaces.

Everyone knows that she is the pet of the fourth elder brother, and she is happy to flatter. For a while, it was laughter and joy.

Although Cao Jia's rank is low, his grade is there, and he is the first to sit under the Thirteen Fujin.

The two of them have always been good friends with Sifujin, and at this time they looked at each other and smiled. There is no fun around the family in previous years.

Not to mention anything else, Nian's outfit has already caused them to feel uncomfortable.

Although the silver red and light repair colors are not red, the side room is not overlooked. However, because silver red is similar to red, except for Xinna, the side rooms of sensible points will avoid this color.

Si Fu Jin sat by the cannon, smiling and talking with a few old Fu Jin, the corners of his eyes inadvertently swept over Nian, and the smile on his face was even greater.

Fang Fujin Li sat on a small stool, but the smile on his face was a little reluctant. She gave birth to three sons, and one of them stood up, which was the third elder brother Hongshi. Although the two Gege Kangxi in Fuzhong gave birth to two little elder brothers in fifty years, their biological mother has a low position and is seven years younger than the third elder brother.

This prince has long been regarded as his own son by the Li family.

Now that Nian, who is also a side Fujin, has a child, it will never be a good thing for the Li family.

Cao Jiashi watched coldly. I know in my heart that this seemingly peaceful Prince Yong's Mansion is estimated to be lively in the future because of the birth of this little brother.

However, that doesn't have to do with her.

It's just that the poor Sifujin, who has been virtuous for most of his life, what can he do?"

On the day of the second anniversary of Caofu's "burning", although it is not as lively as the "100-year-old wine" of the palace, it is not deserted.

Whether it is the Cao family's in-laws or Cao Rong's former colleagues, they all know that Cao Rong is about to be full of filial piety, and if nothing else, he will recover after the year.

After the turn of the year, Cao Yi will be twenty-eight years old, and when he is about to be established, maybe the emperor will reuse it.

There has already been speculation. Will Cao Mei be directly promoted to the second grade, and the household department will be a waiter. After all, he was the head of the Internal Affairs Office of Zheng Sanpin.

At that time, the so-called "punishment" was demoted to six departments, which was more like the household department being familiar with the affairs of the household department.

If it weren't for catching up with the father's funeral system, Cao Mei would have been promoted to the head of the household department during his full term.

The people in the capital, the least unfamiliar, is the human relationship.

Today's Cao is shy. In his young and prime-aged years, his future is limitless, and he is more eye-catching than Cao Yin in the twilight of the West Mountain.

Because these people are funny. Cao Liang, a filial son, has been busy for several days.

Until the day of the sacrifice. I took my brothers and nephews early and went out of the city to worship, so that my ears and roots could be cleaned

In addition to Cao Yi going to Cao Yin's cemetery to officiate, incense was also burned in the ancestral hall of Cao's mansion and three animals were placed as offerings.

Cao Jiashi, Cao Ying, and Cao Yi, the three married aunts and grandmothers, also went back to their parents' homes to worship.

Li Shiyuan was a little sad, and he was persuaded by his two daughters, and gradually raised his eyebrows.

Cao Jiashi remembered something and said, "Madam, since my younger brother has become the head of the family, it is time for the people in the house to change their minds." How do you listen to "uncle" and "uncle". Target? ”

Li said: "The year before last, the housekeeper had to take someone to change his words, and your brother couldn't get used to it, so he called it first and then said it after filial piety." ”

Originally, Cao Yin died of illness, Cao Mei was the head of the family, and the next generation should call him "master", Li should be called "old lady" here, and Chu Yu was promoted from the grandmother in charge to the wife in charge.

It's just that Cao Mei didn't feel comfortable listening to it, and always felt that it was his father who heard the "master" call, so he asked everyone to delay changing their words. That's what Cao Jiashi said.

Cao Ying was listening. said: "My brother has always been less happy than others earlier, but in the past two years, he has shown stability. ”

"These days go by so fast, I still remember my younger brother pretending to be an adult when he was a child, and in a blink of an eye he has become a master. It's all a blink of an eye, and after a few years, the children will marry their own children, and the days will pass faster. Cao Jiashi remembered the last time he went to the palace to ask for peace, what Fourteen Fujin said, and what he said to the people around Fu Pengtian, he felt that he was going to be old.

Because they were there, the Li family couldn't care about it, and said that the family was short, and unconsciously passed one

A few days after the sacrifice. Cao Sha received a letter from the sixteenth elder brother.

He has already probed the letter in front of the emperor, and Cao Rongxiao's recovery is a foregone conclusion, but what is the official position, Kangxi has not yet spoken. letter. He also asked about the white cloth in the treasury of the thirteenth elder brother.

Cao Yi had already greeted the Thirteenth Elder Brother. It is necessary to arrange for this batch of cloth to be transported to Guangzhou.

It's just too far away. The transportation was inconvenient, so Cao Mei put his idea on the cargo ship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This will have to wait for the sixteenth elder brother to return to Beijing before it can be arranged.

If you use the ship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you can go to Guangzhou by sea from Tianjin Wei, which is much less troublesome than the land route.

The left and right are doing their best for the royal family, and calling the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also a good fit.

Business in Guangzhou. Cao Mei is not like hiding from the world. Although his current status is not high, he is close to the center of power, and he is secretive, but it is easy for people to use the topic to play

Especially the next emperor, he is still suspicious, and Cao Rong will not leave trouble.

In addition to mourning her deceased husband. was worried about Li Cheng's condition, and it wasn't until he heard that his condition was getting better, so he slowly put his mind at ease. Although she listened to her son's words and did not have close contacts with her mother's family, her heart is long, and she thinks of a bit of flesh and blood, not that she will give up.

Seeing that the weather was getting cooler, Cao Yi began to miss the hot spring Zhuangzi in Changping.

He made a trip to Guangzhou and traveled for several months. When I returned to the capital, I was busy with all kinds of chores, and I was a little tired.

The net is good, Li Cheng is recovering from a serious illness. Come over and say hello to Lee.

Seeing that his nephew and grandson had been sick for a month, and he had lost his weight, he really couldn't bear it, so he discussed with Cao Yi and took the Li brothers to Tangquan together.

Cao Yi was jealous of the Li family, but he was not a hard-hearted person, but when he was angry with a sick child, he obeyed his mother's wishes.

So, he sent Wu Sheng to take people to Changping Zhuangzi to burn the kang or everything in advance. The house has been empty for a year, and it is only good to live in the damp weather.

On the day of the trip, the Li family called Cao Ying's mother and son, and more than a dozen carriages went out of the city.

Yuan also invited Zhaojia's, but Cao Mu wanted to prepare for the exam, and she couldn't rest assured, so she didn't have the same

Because the children went, Zheng Shou's family also went.

When he arrived in Changping Zhuangzi, even the Li family fell in love with this pure day.

Although he was not there this year, Cao Mei had already instructed the people below to take care of those fields kindly. Now the crops have been harvested, and only the vegetables and the hardy Chinese cabbage have not been harvested.

Li Yu and Li Cheng brothers are so close to the Cao family for the first time.

Li Yu doesn't study, in addition to asking Li and Cao to say goodbye all day long, he is taking care of his younger brother's medicine, and his life is very leisurely.

Li Cheng is often in the Li family's house. Talk to the Li family, or play chess with them on the same day. He had been ill for a long time. I'm afraid of the cold, so I rarely go out of the house to play.

He was not very old, and he was mixed with the children, and gradually became a little childish.

Li was afraid that Li Cheng would be bored, so he discussed with his son and wanted Li Cheng to study at the Cao family's house with them. Now, the two brothers Sun Li and Sun Chu are also studying at home.

For Li Cheng, Cao Yi was always a little uneasy, and didn't want the children to have too deep a relationship with him, so he said: "Mother, forget it." Li Cheng is down this year, and he almost got his fame, so God doesn't have to bless them, they are still learning.

Let him worship under Zheng Bian's door. It was really hard for him. Although his mother had good intentions, he was uncomfortable when he walked to him, so it was better to recuperate. ”

When Li heard this, he felt that his son was reasonable, so he didn't mention it."

Suzhou Weaving House, front yard side hall.

Look at the uninvited guests in the hall. Li Yizhi felt a headache, and his face showed a little kindness, and said, "It's Yushu who is here." Your sister was talking about you two days ago. It's time for my father-in-law's anger to disappear, isn't Yushu going back to Hangzhou, so it's not good to stay outside all the time? ”

This uninvited guest is not a bystander. Sun Lian, who has been out of Beijing for a year.

He took the private silver given by his mother An, and lived in Xuzhou with a two-room concubine. Life is also comfortable. It's just that there are many scoundrels in Xuzhou City, and the days are long. Someone hooked up with Sun Ban to eat, drink and have fun.

He stood up in his old age, and he was disciplined tightly in his family since he was a child, so he would not have wandered. But at this time, he claimed to be a frustrated person, ruined and discredited, unable to return home, and depressed.

This has the first day of junior high school, and there are fifteen.

Although he knew that "gambling" was not allowed, he still had to make silver when he drank flower wine all day long.

In this year's hard work, he spent all the eight hundred taels of silver that An left him, and he owed a lot of foreign debts.

He has sent a letter to Hangzhou. asked his mother An for money, but he didn't reply for a long time. He really couldn't wait, and he didn't dare to go back to Hangzhou to make trouble, so he went to his sister and brother-in-law to fight the autumn breeze.

Although Li Chai is a homely dress. However, the hat on his head was inlaid with a piece of Hetian jade, the hand was a huge ring inlaid with precious stones, and the waistcoat was hung with a gold pocket watch chain, which dazzled Sun Jing's eyes.

As early as when he was in the capital, he was a frequent customer of the pawnshop, looking at it in his eyes, and he was already calculating in his heart how much silver he could use.

When he looked at Li Yi, Li Yi was also looking at his brother-in-law, who was not angry.

It's October, according to the solar terms, it's time to change into silk clothes, although Sun Ban is still wearing autumn clothes, he looks a little bleak. Coupled with Sun Se's eyes, Li Yi sighed in his heart and felt a little guilty.

In the end, the brother-in-law fell to this point, or because of Li Cheng.

Listening to his brother-in-law's question, Sun Sun looked stunned and said, "Call Xuzhou" I haven't seen my sister for several years. Come and visit my sister and brother-in-law,"

Li Yi listened. I realized it in my heart. In the end, he couldn't bear it, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'll tell your sister that I'll buy a banquet for you."

There are many generations in the Li family, and since the grandchildren have come over, they have to meet them one by one. Li Yi took care of the face of his younger brother and brother-in-law. So the housekeeper went and bought some gifts to fill up.

Li Xu knew the details of Sun Ban. dealt with two sentences, and sent him down, but he laughed at Sun Wencheng in his heart, having such an eldest son really lost the face of the Sun family for several lifetimes.

I heard that my brother is here. Sun was genuinely happy.

Because Sun Se lost his official position, he had something to do with Li Cheng, so Li Yi didn't tell his wife. She was in the inner house, but she didn't know that her brother was not angry.

She thought that her brother had come to the capital, and she wanted to ask her son how his body was doing.

She has a mediocre relationship with Li Yi and his wife, and there is only one son, Li Cheng, so naturally all her thoughts are on her son.

When Sun Sun saw his sister ask about the capital, he realized that she didn't know about last year's incident, so he responded indiscriminately and vaguely.

Sun saw that his younger brother was divided. I felt a little unhappy in my heart.

Thinking about the letter from my son. only mentioned the care of the Cao family's aunt, and did not mention Sun Mengxiao's uncle. It can be seen that the younger brother is not interested in his nephew.

Thinking like this, her expression towards her grandson faded. Although they are siblings, these relatives have come and gone.

My son is so old. fell ill in the capital, if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't leave the house, she would have rushed to the capital to take care of her son. I thought that there were many relatives in Jingli, and there was a brother's family over there, so I could take care of it somewhat, but I didn't expect it to be counted on.

Sun Sun didn't realize it, and he was still thinking about how to borrow money from his sister, and after drinking a few glasses of wine on an empty stomach, he was a little upset, and looked at the maid who served the wine quite beautifully, and his eyes began to be dishonest.

Sun saw his brother's behavior. frowned, his face was flushed, he asked his husband to accompany him to eat and drink, and he took the maid down by himself, and changed the little maid to come over and wait."
