"My lord, what do you see, what is this?" Iduli hoarsely stepped forward.

Cao Hao closed the account book, glanced at Yi Duli, and said, "My lord's voice is better, do you want to recuperate for two days?" ”

Yi Duli shook his head and replied with a smile: "It's just that I shouted a lot, and I have phlegm in my throat, and I have already asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription, so it doesn't hinder anything." ”

Although these people get up early and return late, and the errands of the yamen are a bit heavy, Yiduli's complexion is much better than before.

Speaking of which, the top and bottom of the Internal Affairs Office, except for Cao Hao and the Sixteenth Elder Brother, are the ones who take this bidding seriously, and it is Yi Duli.

Cao Hao invited him to sit down and told him about the Fang family's loan of silver.

Yiduli's face stopped smiling and frowned: "Hey! Toss, toss, I want to see, can I still toss out the flowers? In addition to the use of silver in the northwest, where is there no shortage of silver in the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Households? As soon as our bidding was over, the officials of the Ministry of Industry surrounded Master He. The river will be made of silver, and they will wait for it. The businessman is very profitable, and it is true. But I don't know how many people will be cut off in this way. These eight lambs of the king should be caught, given a whip, and a long family name. ”

It's rare to talk about national events, Yi Duli's originally dull voice due to inflammation is also a lot clearer, and his expression is a little more dignified, which is completely different from the appearance of Ping's son.

Cao Hao saw it, thinking about these things that said that Yidu Li ran before and after, and Zhang Luo's bidding, it could not be said that he was not unsatisfied.

In addition to writing the details of the bidding, he wrote the list of meritorious personnel this time, and Yi Duli ranked first.

After all, Yiduli was punished and demoted, and it was not easy to restore the official immediately, but it was inevitable to take a credit.

However, he should not only want this, but also a man's sense of accomplishment, right?

In fact, there was no need for him to follow Cao Hao to the cusp of the storm. With his family background, mixing up and following the crowd may be a better choice.

If there is a mistake in the bidding, Yiduli will not say that it is a credit, but he is afraid that he will be reprimanded, and this five-grade Langzhong will sit firmly.

If this is the case, Cao Hao really has to be embarrassed.

Could it be that someone who trusts and supports himself so wholeheartedly, but ends up like this, and can be at ease?

After Yi Duli finished speaking, Fang came to his senses, laughed twice, and said, "Hehe, it's a little too bad." This military event is naturally taken care of by the emperor. Those of us who are slaves only need to listen to the command, so why bother with those brains? ”

Cao Hao immediately changed his mind when he saw him, remembering his ups and downs in the sea over the years, and he had always been afraid of getting involved in these rights and wrongs.

Seeing that Cao Hao was silent, Yi Du immediately thought that he did not agree with this kind of rhetoric, lowered his voice, and admonished: "Fu Ruo, some strong ones are unacceptable. You spent your early years in the upper study, so you should know the rules of the teachers. No matter how mischievous the brothers are, the hand board can't reach them, and most of them are accompanied by reading. For which? It is because those are the emperor's children and grandchildren, the emperor can teach a lesson, but others cannot. But anyone who is disrespectful and disrespectful can be accused of contempt for the Holy Bow. ”

"Thank you, sir, I know the severity." When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little grateful.

For Yiduli, Cao Hao can't give birth to a close heart in his heart, but he is just a gentleman's friend. Yi Duli acts, but he has a lot more humanity than Cao Hao.

"My old lady said when she saw the sky, 'To suffer a loss is to take advantage'. Adults think about it carefully, isn't this reasonable? The Fang family is willing to toss, so let him toss, and the silver will also go into the treasury, who pays it or not, what does it matter to us? If it is inappropriate, there will naturally be people who should be taught by the emperor. Yi Duli was afraid that Cao Hao wouldn't be able to think about it, so he couldn't help but add.

Shibei said three times, when impressive.

In Cao Hao's mind, this sentence came out. Maybe it's just that I'm self-righteous and underestimate others.

Today is the third day after the bidding, and there are already many businessmen with small bids, who have successively asked people to pay money at the outside yamen.

In the afternoon, the news that there was no silver in the city spread throughout the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Many subordinate officials, looking at Cao Hao, were full of complexity and expectation.

Someone has already made a private bet that Cao Hao can come up with a way to generate millions of taels of silver.

Take a step back and open the sky, Cao Hao knows.

He is not a flamboyant surname, and he has no habit of being in the limelight or anything.

The human heart is the most greedy, and the surname is also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

The other party is the prince's elder brother, Cao Hao doesn't think that he is a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, if it is not a last resort, he is really unwilling to fight.

But Brother Jiu is a two-pronged approach this time, not only to have a share of the internal affairs government's business, but also to get both people and money from the Han Jiang family.

In this way, where is there room for Cao Hao to regress?

Besides, it's good to make the Fang family make money, but in business, the bid fails, and it makes sense to think of other ways; calculated against Han Jiang's family, but it was like directly slapping Cao Hao in the face.

Maybe in the past, I didn't know that the Han Jiang family was rich, but in the capital, who didn't know that she was the shopkeeper of the Cao family?

In the eyes of outsiders, Han Jiang's family is the "Cao family".

Therefore, Cao Hao will be angry when she hears that she plans to lend, and Zheng Woxue will be worried.

Brother Jiu skipped the Cao family and directly asked people to go to the Han Jiang family's house to propose marriage. This is also showing others that the Cao family is nothing in the eyes of his ninth elder brother.

If Han Jiang was a member of the Cao family, things would be simpler. Cao Hao, as the master, can stand out for the servants under the door, but she is not the only one.

She is the shopkeeper of the Cao family, but she is not a descendant of the Cao family.

As the old saying goes, the first marriage is made by the parents, and the second marriage is by the self.

If he made his servants directly rob the Han Jiang clan, and later the Han Jiang clan voluntarily remarried, then Cao Hao really couldn't say anything.

Humans, like animals, have disputes with women over food.

Cao Hao put his hands behind his back, thinking of the Cheng family and Cheng Mengxing, and didn't know whether to be happy for the Han Jiang family.

On his side, there is also Chu Yu, as the granddaughter of the emperor, she has the rank of a county lord, which will make Brother Jiu have scruples. No matter how greedy he is, he doesn't dare to rob his niece.

In that case, the reputation has to be said, and Kangxi can't allow him to act so recklessly.

The Qing Dynasty ritual system, the title of noble lady, Princess Gulun is the same prince, Princess Heshuo is the same county king, and Shuo Gege is the same as Baylor.

Chu Yu is even the younger brother of the Ninth Elder Brother, but the title is placed there, and the Ninth Elder Brother must also be treated with courtesy.

If the Han Jiang clan was discovered by the Nine Elder Brothers before they had anything to do with the Cao family. Even if it is directly robbed into the house, can anyone in the Cheng family come out?

Why can Kangxi tolerate Brother Jiu so far?

Is it because in his eyes, the common people are like ants, and they can let the prince do evil? Or is he sitting too high to see the filth?

In the harem, there is also a concubine in power.

It seems that no matter what you think in your heart, you can't tear your face on this face. Otherwise, there will be slander from the palace to deal with.

In this family, Cao Hao felt a headache.

At this time, Cao Hao was thinking about the sixteenth elder brother a little.

The sixteenth elder brother said that he had returned to Tangquan today, and if he was there, he could still discuss and come up with an idea.

At the end of the day, I didn't even have a clue.

Cao Hao couldn't help but feel frustrated in his heart, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was about to be the time to fall.

He stood up and pondered whether he should go to King Chun's mansion to visit his wife, explain the reason, and save her from worrying. At this time, I saw Dong Dianbang walking over slowly.

But there is a time to mention official business, and Cao Hao is not a layman when it comes to the affairs of the Shen Criminal Division.

Because the relationship is the largest, which involves the life and death of the people in the case, Cao Hao has to be cautious.

When he went to the Internal Affairs Office, in addition to studying how to open up the source and completing the tasks assigned by Kangxi, Cao Hao spent the rest of the time looking through the files of the past years.

He rarely came forward to inquire about the specific errands of the Criminal Division. However, after the trial of the case, he had to read through the case file in his hand carefully and make sure that he knew it by heart before signing and using the seal.

is so old-fashioned, but it is also right for Dong Dianbang's eyes, which makes him have some expectations for the new manager.

witnessed the whole process of bidding with his own eyes, and Dong Dianbang's appreciation of Cao Hao was one more point.

It is precisely because of this that he does not want Cao Hao to take a detour in his heart.

Cao Hao called someone to serve tea, and listened to Dong Dianbang say these things unhurriedly, but his heart was very tight.

This old man is not a person who talks a lot, why is he like talking now, and he has no fun?

After talking about business, Dong Dianbang's words went farther and farther, and he had already talked about what happened before Cao Yin went to Jiangnan.

Seeing Dong Dianbang's white beard swaying back and forth, Cao Hao's originally impetuous heart slowly calmed down.

Dong Dianbang looked at the official robe on his body and said to Cao Hao: "Back then, there were more than one or two people in the group of children of the Internal Affairs Office who were better than your father, but now they are hard to find. It's too much, it's too much. What is stumbling, it is a blessing to grow old in peace. In the end, it was already inexplicable and a lot of emotion.

Cao Hao's heart moved, and he looked at Dong Dianbang's gaze, a little more puzzled.

Dong Dianbang already closed his eyes, picked up the tea cup in front of him, looked at the tea leaves inside, and said with a smile: "Good tea, good tea." The taste of this good tea can't be hidden, but Xia Guan said that he is blessed. ”

"To suffer a loss is to take advantage"? Is it too much?

Although I don't know what Dong Dianbang's position is, it is not easy to persuade him with words.

It's just that where is the bottom line of "too much"? I've just done my part, isn't it too much?

For a while, Cao Hao was a little confused.

Although he did not have any ideals to make a contribution, he was a lazy man.

This "laziness" is not only physical, but also mental.

Therefore, he treats every errand as conscientious, and the purpose is not to be "loyal to the monarch and patriotic", but not to give people a handle, and to talk less about right and wrong.

So, too?

In confusion, Dong Dianbang had already gotten up to say goodbye and went out leisurely.

"Master Dong stays......" Cao Hao couldn't help but leave, and asked: "Boss, could it be that the boss is looking at it, the kid has really done a lot?" ”

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Cao Hao's expression was very sincere, and he really wanted to get an answer.

There was no one else in the room, Dong Dianbang groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Ling Zun has been going south for thirty years, why did he return to the capital?" With his talent, he also made it to the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, why did he only serve as an idle official in the Ministry of Rites? It's too much, and that's what it says. Lord Cao is a smart person, why can't he see Mount Tai? ”

The reason why Cao Yin was transferred to the capital to serve in the Ministry of Rites, the magnates in the capital speculated one after another, saying everything.

It is said that the emperor cherishes his ministers and can't bear to drive them; It is said that it is to promote his son, so that his father will avoid the edge for a while; It is also said that he is carrying important tasks, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is just a part-time job.

The real situation is chilling.

The Cao family is too loyal, too rooted in Jiangnan, and has passed the emperor's bottom line.

If the Cao family is disloyal and makes mistakes in doing errands, they can be punished if they find a crime, but they can't find the mistake of partiality.

Although throughout the ages, there are not a few examples of this "no excuse for the crime you want to add", but how could a person like Kangxi, who claims to be the holy lord of the Ming monarch, do that?

After Dong Dianbang finished speaking, he shook his head and frowned, as if he was annoyed by his many mouths and tongues, hugged his fists, and turned around and went out.

Cao Hao stood there alone, aware of his mistake.

I took it for granted and was a little naïve, thinking that if I hugged Kangxi's thighs and climbed into the relationship with the fourth elder brother, as long as I did my errands well, I would be able to stand unstable.

How can it be so easy?

If you're not careful, it's a thankless effort.

His grandmother's, Cao Hao's heart couldn't help but burst into foul language, crossed the threshold, and looked up at the clear blue sky.

It doesn't matter if you lend me a thousand disciples, or borrow me eight hundred white robes, if you can also mix up an invulnerable immortal body, you really want to live the addiction of rebellion...... That's, though.

If it was in the last years of Qianlong, there was some movement when tossing and tossing could not be maintained; Until now, it's child's play.

Otherwise, even thirty or fifty peerless masters would be fine. Brother Nine dares to be mischievous and abolishes it.

Wasted, Cao Hao thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.

I only felt that the little man with black wings waving in his heart showed his sharp teeth and smiled proudly.

Although his identity is limited, he can't abolish Brother Jiu, but someone can control him. Why do you bother to discipline your son for others?

If the Son does not teach, the Father is guilty.

's own son, and it is ...... to teach him a lesson The mountains are high, and if there is no desire, it is strong. I seem to be asking too much, and I am a little constrained.

Cao Hao held his shoulders, his face was already bored, and only the leisurely ...... who wanted to see the excitement was left, and outside the Xihua Gate, Yidu Li was blocked by Shiyun when he came out.

Seeing Shi Yun looking at it with a smile, Yi Duli couldn't help frowning: "Why did you come again, didn't I make it clear to you yesterday." That Han Jiang clan has a special identity, isn't it something you can remember? ”

"Uncle, help your nephew!" Shi Yun clutched the fishskin dagger he had obtained in his hand, and his face was full of pleading.

Yi Duli glanced at his hand and said, "Haven't you returned it yet?" Even take advantage of the widow, and you are not ashamed to panic? Aren't you afraid that you will be pointed at the back and said that you are worried about the widow's wealth? ”

Shi Yun clenched his fists vigorously and said, "Uncle, you know that nephew didn't mean that." She and her nephew have saved their lives, and her nephew can't repay him......"

"Come on, get it, there's nothing to repay, so you want to make a promise? Instead, ask your mother what kind of daughter-in-law she wants? Or are you dreaming in vain, thinking that the Han Jiang clan can take Wanguan's wealth and be a concubine with you? Seeing Shiyun like this, Yidu immediately showed an expression of "hating iron does not become steel" on his face.

When Shiyun heard this, he had already faded his blood.

"I want to marry her, uncle!" He muttered.

"Nonsense!" Seeing that he didn't enter Yanjin like this, Yidu couldn't help but be annoyed, and scolded: "When it comes to marriage, you have your own parents in charge, where is your turn to find a daughter-in-law?" What is your identity, what is her identity, and how can you get married? Did your mother and widow pull you up unemployed, just to get used to you messing around? You are gone, but your uncle and uncle are not dead, where can you smear your family? ”

Shi Yun held the dagger to his chest, his expression very determined.

"Uncle, what if I lose my wife's position and marry in the side room?" As he spoke, there was a little more anticipation in his eyes.

"Bastard thing, is marriage child's play? If you want to marry, can you marry? You don't look at who it is, it's the granddaughter of the Cheng family, the big shopkeeper of the Cao family. If you want money and money, you want to be powerful, and you don't rely on men to live. Even if the prince's elder brother wants her to be a concubine, he has to discuss it with the Cao family. You are not tall and your position is not obvious, why did you let a rich widow give up her freedom and voluntarily become a concubine? Yi Duli said a lot in his throat, it was already a pain in his throat, and he punched Shiyun hard, and said: "I really want to be a woman, buy it outside, and the maid at home will pick a house and pick a house It's up to you, don't talk about these things all the time." ”

Shi Yun's face was flushed when he was said, and he couldn't help but speak: "Uncle, little sister-in-law, aren't you also widowed?" ”

Seeing that he was so pestering, Yiduli couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Just when a team of guards came over to change shifts, Yidu stopped speaking, waved his hand to Shiyun, and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go, let's talk while walking." ”

Being able to accept the Yang family as a wife is something that Yiduli has always been proud of.

The Jiangnan woman is as soft as water, and what she said is true.

Although there are several wives and concubines in the family, no one can compare to Yang Ruixue when it comes to gentleness.

In addition, Yang Ruixue has her own private room, unlike other concubines, who just talk about food and use in bed when she has nothing to do, which makes Yiduli worry a lot.

If you want to accept such a beautiful concubine in such a delicate room, I am afraid that you will have to pay thousands of taels of silver. Yiduli didn't spend a lot of money, not to mention, the Yang family also married two properties.

Born in a powerful family, although he is not an open-eyed person who sees money, but who will dislike silver and bite his hand?

"Your little sister-in-law is willing to marry me, if I don't agree to accept her, I'm afraid she will cry and wipe her tears, looking for death and life." Yi Duli rode on horseback and said proudly: "That widow Han, you want to use a beautiful man, but it is not easy. Although she is the shopkeeper of Daoxiang Village, there are few people who have seen her appearance. You still have errands on you, where do you have the kung fu to talk nonsense? ”

As he spoke, Yi Duli felt a little sympathetic to his nephew.

He thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll go to Cao Hao to find out what he means?" If Han Jiang is his forbidden body, it will save you from offending people rashly. ”

When it came to the Yang family, Shi Yun remembered the scene in the silver building, and couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.

Although he doesn't have fox fur, Yang is a goblin, a goblin who wants people's lives.

The sweet and glutinous voice, the seductive aroma, and the soft body, who would stand that, it was him, and it took a lot of struggle to escape.

Fortunately, he remembered that he was a great defender, and there was another woman in his heart, otherwise, he was afraid that he would sink into the sea of desire and commit sins.

People are different from each other, although they are all beautiful women and have no husbands, but the Yang family is frivolous like water, and the Han Jiang family is like a piece of cold jade.

The comparison between the two is more and more reflective of the nobility of the Han Jiang clan.

Seeing that Shiyun was silent, Yidu immediately turned his head to look at him, but when he saw his red face, he couldn't help but laugh, and said: "That's it, mention a woman like this, then when you get to the woman, isn't it going to be paralyzed?" ”

As he spoke, he was in a hurry, grabbed the reins of the horse, turned around and called a long follower, and gave two orders. It's just to take my nephew out for dinner and wine, and go home later or something.

Shi Yun was beside him, he couldn't help but be moved, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uncle, let's go to Cao's mansion?" ”

When Yi Du saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "Is this kid stupid?" Cao Hao is not Widow Han's father, do you still want to visit your father-in-law? Let's go, uncle will take you to find a good place to eat and drink? ”

Seeing Yi Duli smiling weirdly, Shiyun grabbed his hair and said in a low voice: "Uncle, there are laws in this court......

Yi Du glanced at him and said, "Come along, what are you talking about?" Look at your uncle like a fool, will he go to the Qianmen Hutong? On the edge of Haizi, a few new Huaiyang restaurants have been opened, and the taste is the most authentic, and I am thinking about a good life's product, but today it is cheaper for you stupid boy......"

Not to mention that Yi Duli took his nephew to Haizi to eat and drink with great interest, Cao Hao came out of the yamen and did not go home directly, but went to the palace of Chunjun.

Last time, I was fifteen years old.

In the past half a month, he has been busy with many things, but this is the first time he has come.

The seventh elder brother has returned from the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard that his son-in-law was coming, he changed his clothes and came out to meet him.

Seeing that Cao Hao's face was calm, the seventh elder brother raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?" ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "A thousand words, it's better to be silent." Do more wrong, do less wrong, and use static braking to broaden your horizons. ”

The seventh elder brother was quite surprised, looked at Cao Hao a few times, and said, "It's hard for you to think about it, don't fight for this leisure." I was still worried about your surname, eating soft or not hard, and following the donkey's temper, this time I had to tear my face with Lao Jiu. In that case, even if you win in the end, you will lose, and I am afraid that it will hinder your future and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Cao Hao knew what he was referring to.

Brother Jiu is the prince, no matter how rude and rampant he is, the identity of the prince is beyond doubt.

If Cao Hao has the courage to contend with the prince, isn't it upright, is it contempt for the imperial power?

The so-called "loyalty" before fell into the eyes of the emperor, and it was just a disguise, and he still had to be condemned as arrogant and lawless.

Seeing Cao Hao's silence, the seventh elder brother was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, and said, "Heaven and earth are not complete, don't be too yourself." Even if you stop here, your achievements will fall in the eyes of everyone, and no one can erase them, so let the rest be......"

It's good, just "go with the flow", but it's just a shrunken turtle to avoid the edge of the ninth elder brother......

(To be continued)
