Although he heard the thirteenth elder brother talk about the changes in Xian'an Palace, Cao Hao didn't think much about it.

Even if Kangxi teaches him by hand, even if he is a sister-in-law who is taboo for Kangxi, the second elder brother is abolished twice, he is not a waste, he is also a waste, and he has nothing to do with the Cao family.

The only thing to be afraid of is Honghui.

In later generations, the Cao family raided the house for the second time, because it was involved in the "Honghui Disobedience Case", even if Qianlong was afraid of his "grandson" status, he had a heart attack; If Honghui is really divided, it will not involve a group of clan nobles.

At present, the storage position is undecided, even if Honghui has energy, he will not be idle to Cao Hao.

Thinking of these, Cao Hao was a little worried about the Hongli of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion. After Hongli became the emperor, he studied like Kangxi in everything, and he was also an emperor who was very happy.

China's decline began here, which is really lamentable.

Unknowingly, at the end of October, Lee's birthday.

Although there is no way to do it, the Pingjun Wangfu and the Guogong Mansion have sent birthday gifts, and the birthday gifts outside are also constant.

Cao Hao is about to recover, the old mother and young son, with Kangxi's grace to the Cao family, should not be released. Staying in the capital, Bacheng is a young Jingtang, a little related, who doesn't want to sell well?

Cao Xiang's brother also went out of the city to pay his aunt's birthday, and Cao Xiang also brought a news that he was named Henan Xuezheng, and he would leave Beijing and go to Henan within ten days.

The so-called academic administration is similar to the chief examiner of the township examination once every three years, and he goes down to the local area to preside over the college examination.

The college examination is held in the spring of the year of the non-general examination, and the admitted person is a student, which is commonly known as Xiucai, and enters the government and county officials to study.

Although it is only a school and political officer, a temporary commissioner, and he will still return to his original post after the expiration of his term of office, and does not involve local military and political affairs, it has always been a lack of nobility.

Cao Xiang was able to get this deficiency at a young age, which shows that he has not spent the past three years in the Hanlin Academy.

"You can't always compile books in the Hanlin Academy, Henan is good, not far from the capital, you went there again in your early years." Cao Hao heard the news and was really happy for his cousin.

The example of Zhao Xiongzhao in front of him is that Cao Hao doesn't want his cousin to be burdened by the family and have his own career and future.

"It's just that fraud in local imperial examinations has never been uncommon, you have to be vigilant to save yourself from getting into trouble." Thinking that although Henan is not as good as Jiangnan, it is also a major province of Confucianism, Cao Hao had to give a few words of careful advice.

Cao Xiang listened with his hands and bowed down.

Cao Fu was beside him, envious, and said, "The fourth brother will be the main examiner next year, but I still have to take the exam." is also reading, why is there such a big gap? ”

When Cao Hao and Cao Xiang heard this, they both looked sideways, and Cao Hao smiled and said: "Xiao Wu knows that 'if the young man doesn't work hard, the boss will be sad'?" ”

Cao Fu was a little embarrassed and said: "My brother is just ashamed, mediocre and mediocre, and he has achieved nothing." ”

There was already a bit of uneasiness and melancholy in his voice.

Hearing him say this, Cao Hao and Cao Xiang glanced at each other, both a little worried.

Cao Fu was clever, originally a little arrogant, but after the first time he tried to fall, the blow was very big; Now that the second meeting has not been tried for a few days, he can't help but have some stage fright.

"Speaking of this knowledge, how many of the Confucianists in the world were born as Jinshi? Speaking of being an official, to put it mildly, do you learn more from compiling books in the Hanlin Academy, or do you learn more from reading case files and account books in the six books? The so-called 'fame' is for ordinary people to change their future and enter the official career, and for people like us, it is just icing on the cake. Cao Hao pondered for a moment and said.

"Yes, the eldest brother is very right. In the Hanlin Academy for three years, I dealt with books and pen and ink throughout the whole day, and the front was quite fresh, but later it was like wasting my time like a mess. Speaking of which, it's really not as energetic as when I was in Henan in my early years. Cao Xiang followed.

"If I fall into the first place, won't I be a disgrace to our Cao family?" Cao Fu hesitated for a long time, blushed and said.

Cao Hao heard this, and knew that this was all caused by a brother Tanhua, and said, "What's so embarrassing?" Among the people of the Eight Banners, those who were lifted at the age of fifteen can also be counted. The difference between lifting people and jinshi is just a test, and it is not bad. No matter if you don't pass this subject, you will be nineteen by then, and you will not be lazy anymore. If you are admitted, everything is easy to say; If you fall behind, you will go to the pen test and add input to your family. ”

Although he knew that there were a few Zhuangzi in Dongfu now, it was not a few bucks, but Cao Hao saw his cousin's worries and said this deliberately.

When Cao Fu heard this, he didn't feel embarrassed, but his eyes lit up, and his heart was much more steady.

Cao Xiang was beside him, looking at his cousin who seemed to be stern, but in fact he was appeased and connived, and his heart was quite complicated.

The eldest brother is like a father, and there is no more way to say yes.

They are brothers in Dongfu, and they have been taken care of too much by their cousins...... It is difficult for them to stand alone, and they should work hard...... One time less, Chu Yu sent people to invite their brothers over, and the birthday banquet began ...... * Andingmen, Prince Yong's mansion.

Today is also the birthday of the fourth elder brother, although there is no big effort, but there are many people who come to congratulate him on his birthday.

The sixteenth elder brother was injured for half a month, and he still appeared in front of everyone for the first time after being beaten.

These princes and elder brothers, they have all passed the time of youth and vigor, and the rest are calm and spicy, looking like a group of brothers, friends and brothers, and they are happy.

As for what this feast tastes like, everyone can only know in their hearts.

The sixteenth elder brother just used this excuse to go out of the palace to breathe, and after the entertainment, he hurriedly pulled the seventeenth elder brother out of Prince Yong's mansion.

"Let's go, seventeen brothers, go shopping in Liuli Factory...... "Sixteenth elder brother said with a little excitement.

The seventeenth elder brother hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Sixteenth brother, why did you come out of the Fourth Brother's Mansion so early?" Although it is not a big life, it is good for brothers to reunite and reunite. ”

"Brother?" The sixteenth elder brother picked the corners of his mouth, lowered his face, and said, "We are not a show, we are not a trick." Everyone came over, just to deal with a scene, except for the thirteenth brother, how many people are really looking forward to the fourth brother's longevity? ”

The seventeenth elder brother was choked speechless, and said for a while: "I also hope that the fourth brother is good." ”

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "I know, you are thinking about the fourth brother's care, but Huang Ama has always tabooed this. With the thirteenth brother following behind the fourth brother alone, it's fine, and adding you and me will become an eyesore. At the end of the day, the volume was lowered.

The seventeenth elder brother knew that the sixteenth elder brother was telling the truth, and felt a little tasteless, so he looked up curtly, looked at the sky, and said, "It's cloudy, maybe it's going to snow, sixteenth brother, let's go early and come back early." As he spoke, he took the reins from Changsui's hand, and walked to the Liuli Factory with the sixteenth elder brother to ...... Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.

The room was a little cold, Wei Zhu stood at the door, hesitated for a long time, thinking about whether to add two more charcoal basins, but there are regulations for the supply here.

The emperor is not satisfied with the old man and will not agree to add charcoal pots.

However, the sky is cloudy and wickedly cold today, if the emperor's body catches a cold, it will be those of them who will suffer at that time.

Wei Zhu looked at his nose and his nose, and he spent a lot of energy, came up with a method, called the two little eunuchs, and whispered a few words.

In the house, Kangxi was wearing a robe and sitting on the kang. Several scholars, all of whom were also elderly, sat on a small stool and listened to Kangxi talk about the selection and promotion of the science and Taoist officials.

Most of the officials of the department are selected by the officials of the six departments, and then they are promoted to transfer. Although the grade of the branch is not high, it is noble and fast-moving, and some of them enter the department for a year, and they will be promoted and transferred outside.

What's more, there is even a direct promotion to the Jingtang.

If the talent is excellent, it will be overpromoted; If the talent is mediocre, the more overused, it is also inappropriate.

Kangxi ordered all the scholars to be promoted and transferred to the future of the Taoist officials, and to check the grade before the Taoist Dao. If Lang Zhong makes up for the Dao, he will be allowed to be promoted after two years; Three years for the Wailang and four years for the Principal.

Several scholars were confused when they heard this, and they were already muttering in their hearts, why did the emperor say this with great fanfare today.

What is Kedao? It is the courtier of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor's weapon to monitor the world's officials.

Whether this "over-promotion" is "over-promotion" or not is not the emperor's final say. Whether it is placed in the local government as a political envoy and an envoy, or promoted to the capital hall, it is the emperor's grace.

Now, the emperor is talking about this, where does the so-called come from?

Could it be that this promotion restriction can really interfere with the emperor's will?

Those who can achieve the position of a university scholar are all eunuchs who have experienced ups and downs for half their lives, although they have doubts in their hearts, they all look like "the emperor is sage" on their faces.

Only Xiao Yongzao, a university scholar, has served in front of the emperor for more than ten years, and he knows that Kangxi will not mention this in vain.

In his heart, he remembered a person.

The emperor seems to restrict the promotion of the department, but it is not to correct the promotion of the department and the province.

The six-product director is listed for four years, from the five-grade staff for three years, the five-grade Lang for two years, and the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is the third product, is transferred to the department, and the promotion to Jingtang in two years is even more justifiable.

The old man is over seventy years old this year, he lowered his eyes to look at his white beard, and looked at Wang Jiling sitting on the right, who is a few years older than himself, and will be eighty next year.

These people, who are already old...... * Li's side, only heard the news of their nephew's release after eating the birthday banquet.

After the nephews left, the Li family left his son to speak, but he was not worried about the city, and wanted to return home earlier: "The women and children of the first mansion in the East Mansion, the fourth child is out of Beijing, and the fifth child is left, and he is still taking the exam, which is really not at ease." In addition, the weather is very cold this year, even in Zhuangzi, I dare not ask the children to run outside all the time, for fear of blowing the wind. There are so many children, if there is really one or two uncomfortable ones, it is also embarrassing, so it is better to go back to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

According to the plan, the Cao family originally planned to stay here until the winter solstice and prepare for the New Year in the city.

Cao Hao thought about it, and his mother was right.

is about to be filial piety, and he needs to take care of a lot of things, and the information on the Zhuangzi is blocked, which is a little inconvenient.

Three days later, the Cao family and his party left the hot spring Zhuangzi and returned to the city.

Zheng Xie was wearing thick cotton clothes, riding on a horse, looking at the snow scene in front of him, and whispered: "When you open the door in the morning, the snow is full of snow, and the snow is clear and the clouds are light and cold. The eaves flow is not dripping plum jelly, a kind of solitary is not idle. ”

The poems are free and easy, in the end, they are people in the red dust, and they are not exempt from vulgarity.

He is the west seat of the Cao Mansion, and naturally knows that the reason why the Cao family returned to the city in advance is that the fourth master of the Cao family was released to study politics.

He is a talent who has participated in the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, and naturally he has also seen the majesty of the academic and political people.

Thinking that Cao Xiang is more than ten years younger than himself, but he is so proud, even the plain and open-minded Zheng Xie, his heart is also a little sour.

Zhongjin Shi, into Hanlin, the greatest glory of a scholar, is nothing more than this.

Cao Hao rode a horse and Zheng Xie in parallel, where did he know that he was guilty of the sour nature of a scholar, listening to him casually chanting, I really admired.

And this poem sounds catchy, savored, and has its own style, living up to the name of a genius.

He has already begun to think in his heart, whether to add two more scholars to Zheng Xie, and in the future, this authentic handwriting and painting will also be collected as much as possible, and passed on to future generations, all of which will be silver...... Zheng Xie still didn't know that his elegant-looking "little uncle" was calculating his true deeds with a copper stink, and he was still thinking that Cao Yin was also famous in Jiangnan during his lifetime, and he didn't know what would happen if his "little uncle" ended.

Because of the snow, the carriage traveled slowly, and when it returned to the city, it was already dark.

When Zhao Jia's got the news, he immediately brought a few maids and daughters-in-law to find Li's "complaints".

Although it is not forbidden to bring female dependents when he is released as an official, Cao Xiang has no intention of bringing his wife and concubine.

This scholar is noble, but he is also tired, and he will have to go to every prefecture and county in the province when the time comes. With his family, he just stayed in the provincial capital and said goodbye to his husband and wife.

For this reason, Cao Xiang didn't want to take his family to work. After all, the wives and concubines are all young, and the sons are young, and they are really reluctant to follow thousands of miles around.

In Zhaojia's heart, he didn't worry that Cao Xiang would not take anyone down.

There is no other reason, no one in the capital does not know, although the release is hard, but the oil and water are much richer than the capital.

The grade of the academic administration official is not high, but the admiral is a provincial academic administrator, and there can be less of this money that is actively sent to the door.

Zhaojia's family has selfishness, the eldest son is in the northwest, and the youngest son has not yet come out, only the concubine has a shortage of release.

If you don't let the right people follow, and you don't put the money in your private house and don't hand it over to the public school, wouldn't it make people happy in vain?

For this reason, she strongly advocated that Lu Ju should follow Cao Xiang to the post, which happened to be able to snub Chunhua for a few years, saving her from not knowing the truth of being a daughter-in-law.

Cao Xiang didn't want to do this, not because she had lost her relationship with Lu Ju, but because she took care of her son and didn't want her to suffer with her. There is also the desire to repay the peach and not want to embarrass Chunhua.

After three years of marriage, although Chunhua is young, her surname is gentle, and she has no domineering behavior, she treats her husband gently, and treats her mother and son with green chrysanthemum generously.

As a descendant of the general's mansion, his identity is much more noble than Cao Xiang's concubine, but he can take care of the overall situation so much, and Cao Xiang can only be grateful in his heart.

Cao Xiangshi didn't want to make his wife and concubine uneasy, how could he let Zhaojia's give Chunhua no face?

I didn't bring any of them, and I didn't have to worry about it, anyway, I went on an errand.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, what do I get? A piece of kindness is regarded as a wolf's heart and dog's lungs. It is said that after marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother, this sentence is really true. Zhao Jia's polite refusal to Cao Xiang was only because he was "afraid of guilt", and he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.

Cao Xiang was about to leave Beijing, and he was so busy that Zhao Jia's family couldn't catch him if he wanted to scold him, so he ran to Xifu to complain......
