"There are no scales in the tent. Naturally, I can't tell whether there are more or fewer inlaid dingzhou bottoms in these seven or eight boxes.

However, Cao Mei and the sixteenth elder brother looked at each other, and the decision of the two of them was the same, that is, "quick decision" Even if the two of them, one takes care of the Internal Affairs Office, and has seen one hundred thousand taels of silver in the Bank of the Internal Affairs Office; After several years of planning, he quietly accumulated millions of family fortunes, but none of the 100,000 taels of gold were dazzling in front of him.

The inventory of the gold in each box is missing the item of freeing the box for weighing, Cao Liang just asked each box to find a place and take out the gold bars in that place in turn. In the end, it is clear whether the whole box is gold or not.

It's not that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but the amount of gold is too large, and he doesn't know what follow-up arrangements Kangxi has. If you just turn it around in his hands, and then return to the inner library, you will not be afraid of a shortage of catties, and you will be afraid of filling it with other gold.

In that case, he couldn't tell clearly, wouldn't he want to go bankrupt and make up the "100,000 taels of gold."

If it was Kang Xiaoxiao's, his "love" made Cao Cheek tremble and be careful, for fear that he would scold Cao Po for being "unproductive"

He didn't want to think about it. The difference between kings and ministers, the difference between respect and inferiority, in fact, his "whim" grace can be diluted.

Get along for more than ten years. Cao Mei's joy and anger towards Kangxi are indistinguishable and capricious, and he has seen enough of them, so he is naturally afraid that he will attack him.

Because of the heavy weight of gold, in order to transport it well, the 100,000 taels or 6,000 catties of gold were packed into eight boxes.

These eight boxes are not very large, so it is only a quarter of an hour's work. The gold has been repacked and locked. Fu put a seal on the lock again.

Seeing this, Prince Zhuoliktu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This part finally did not leak, and the other boxes, either never opened, or damaged, were also eaten by insects and rats, and did not interfere with the affairs of the palace.

It's not just him. Even Xiao Man, Wei Hei and others who counted and checked were also relieved.

It's all gold. Take out a piece casually, and it will be enough for the people to live for half a lifetime. The gold went to their old lady, and they were both happy and worried.

until the box is closed. Unable to see it, they are more steady.

This is where the effort comes. Outside the tent, the steward of the palace came to pay respects. The prince of Durhan, Rob Zang, arrived, and came to greet his uncle, and now he was waiting in the king's tent.

Prince Zhuoliktu's grandfather, Ukeshan, was a brother to the great-grandfather of Lobzang Xibu, and the Qing Dynasty first crowned the Mongol tribes. Wu Keshan is the prince, in charge of the left-wing flag affairs of Horqin, and the prince of Tushetu, who is in charge of the right-wing flag affairs, is in charge of Horqin; Manzhu Xili is the king of the county. For the left and right hands of the elder brother, inlaid with praise for the flag.

After the pro-government of Shunzhi. After abolishing the Yuan, he also hated Wu Keshan, an uncle who was close to Dolxiang, but after all, it was a maternal family, and it was not good to directly take the title and ask for the guilt, so he gave another uncle, Manzhu Xili Darhan, and handed over the left-wing banner government to that one, which was regarded as taking Wu Keshan's power. Makes Prince Zoliktu an idle prince.

Kangxi ascended the throne. Push the mother's family. The mother-in-law is the successor of Shunzhi. From the branch of Manzhu Xili, Kangxi made the king of Durhan County Jin the prince, making this position more and more stable.

Although the Mongols did not attach as much importance to the distinction between the descendants and the Han as the Han in their early years, the relationship between Manzhu Xili and Wu Keshan brothers was quite close, and they did not want to alienate their brothers because of the Jin Jue, but let outsiders laugh at them, because the two palaces remained in the curtain all year round, and the children were closer than other clansmen.

Therefore, although the prince of Darhan, Lobzang Yuanbu, has the same title as the prince of Zhuoliktu, he is even in charge of the flag affairs. Because of the princess again, speaking of which is half a level higher than Prince Zhuo Liketu, but he still took the initiative to come over to say goodbye as a nephew.

Prince Zhuo Liketu said to the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Wei, and went with the housekeeper, leaving his son Altanghule to count with Cao Po.

Until the time of the hand-lamp. Only one-third of this batch of property has been counted.

From the dazzling eyes earlier to the casual glance now, Cao Mei and the sixteenth elder brother are a little numb.

A pen holder from the Tang Dynasty. The jade pillow of the Song Dynasty and the incense burner of the Ming Dynasty are all kinds of things. There are all kinds of things, and the common thing is that it is not a vulgar thing, but very valuable.

They flipped through the other pamphlets to see the characteristics of the property.

In addition to the gold and gold objects, the remaining jade lacquerware, inkstone ornaments, and then a few boxes of jewelry. There are very few things that are easy to break, such as porcelain and glass, and occasionally there are one or two. They are all extremely sturdy and not afraid of bumps.

Although now. No one has said to the two of them that this is a "gift" from Concubine Hui in the early years of the Empress Dowager, but they can also see that these things are not Mongolian things, and they are designated as being circulated from Guanli.

To say that these things are the "dowry" prepared by Horqin for Concubine Hui is to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

The sixteenth elder brother is in the Internal Affairs Mansion and has the opportunity to see the palace secret files.

Whether it was the wedding of Emperor Shizu that year, the "dowry" when Wu Keshan sent his daughter to Beijing or the "dowry" when his mother-in-law Hesheri entered the palace, the sixteen elder brothers all knew one or two.

Although it is also gorgeous and rich, but looking decent, it is not as valuable as the property in front of you.

Among them. There were even a few boxes of fine clothes.

It's been so long. I don't know how well it was preserved, but the sixteenth elder brother made someone open the boxes first.

I don't know what spices are put in the material of this clothes, but they are not eaten by insects, only the top layers have changed color, as if they have been soaked in water.

The cluster of the bottom is new. It still maintains a bright tired color.

What Cao Yi is interested in is the box of calligraphy and paintings. Although there are more than 100 boxes of this batch of belongings, they are calligraphy and painting books

There is nothing special about the books, they are all common folk "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", and a few Buddhist scriptures. The paper has turned yellow with age.

These calligraphy and paintings. The degree of damage is more severe. Except for a few in the middle that remain intact, many of them have water ulceration spots.

Cao Liang handled it gently. Look at the familiar seals. The eyes are getting wider and wider.

If it weren't for the presence of others, he would have wanted to jump to his feet.

This is the soft gold of the heirloom, which is not as eye-catching as gold, but also really valuable.

Sixteen elder brothers, for the sake of safety. After arranging for everyone to have dinner, they counted it overnight.

Cao Si Feitian's father-in-law is old. I asked him to go back and rest first.

Grandpa Tian hesitated; Said: "Uncle, the old slave respects the emperor's will, and has already left the palace on an errand, and I ask the uncle to arrange it." ”

Cao Mei's account, in addition to his own office accommodation, is the residence of Xiao Man and Wei Hei, and it is not good for this old eunuch with an unusual identity to squeeze in with them.

Cao Liang could only look at the sixteenth elder brother for help, and in the end, the sixteenth elder brother asked Zhao Feng to lead them to settle first.

Find one. The official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, getting an extra account out is just a piece of cake for the sixteenth elder brother.

Seeing that the two eunuchs behind Gonggong Tian followed Gonggong Tian, they did not "part ways." meaning, Cao Wei turned his head. asked the sixteenth elder brother in a low voice: "Are these two little eunuchs with Grandpa Tian?" ”

Since the emperor dictated and only mentioned Gonggong Tian, he didn't want to keep more people.

There are eunuchs in the Minjue Mansion, which is really eye-catching, this Father-in-law Tian has passed the age of sixties, and he has been supporting him for a few years, and he has stopped. It will gradually make everyone forget about this stubble. These two little eunuchs are only thirteen or fourteen years old.

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at him. Said: "Could it be that a deputy head of the sixth grade, there is no one around to call him?" Don't think about it, it's useless to think about it, it's better to go with the flow. ”

Speaking of which. He glanced at the boxes piled up in front of him, and his heart was faintly savored.

These belongings, not to mention the family of a princess's mansion, are also the family of four or five princes' mansions. Although her sister did not get the title of princess, she was much more affordable.

And these benefits finally fell on Cao Ming's kid.

Hmph, it seems that this brother will not have to do it in the future. He is not only his uncle and father-in-law, but also his own uncle.

Thinking that the aunt who had always respected had become a half-sister, the taste in the sixteenth elder brother's heart turned into helplessness. Come to think of it, compared to him, his mother's side will be more awkward, and his cousin will become a "daughter." "What's this called?

Thinking of this messy relationship, the sixteenth elder brother really couldn't cry or laugh, and the little bit of heart and eyes before disappeared unconsciously.

I drank several cups of strong tea. Even the most sturdy Altanghule couldn't hold on, and the 100 or so boxes were counted.

This time. Outside, it was already dawn in the east, and the sun was rising.

The sixteenth elder brother stretched his waist and walked out of the tent hand in hand with Cao Po.

The morning breeze blows. With a little coldness, it blows on people's faces, making people a lot more sober.

There are some things that Cao Liang's identity is inconvenient to say, so the sixteenth elder brother will not be polite to do it for him, and said to Altangehule: "The son." The Han people have a saying, "Wealth is not exposed, and outsiders in the province are angry, giving birth to right and wrong. If someone asks the prince about these belongings in the future, and asks the prince for help, it will be said at least. Gold is said to be silver. It is good to say one pavilion in ten pavilions. ”

As for whether others believe it or not. That's not what the sixteenth elder brother considered.

He just thought that even his eyes were red, and the brothers didn't know what to think, so they had to guard against it.

Although Altangehule didn't understand the bends, the sixteenth elder brother made a special order, and he patted his chest in response.

When the prince leaves, only Cao Yi and the sixteenth elder brother are left, and the sixteenth elder brother is against Zhao Feng and a few. The little eunuch said, "If someone gets close to you in the near future and finds out the amount of this wealth in a different way, you can hide it if you can." I couldn't hide it, so I said that there were five thousand taels of gold. One hundred thousand taels of silver, and other things, also to mention. It's all good things, don't show it carefully, and make trouble for Uncle Cao. "At the end of the day, it's a bit sharp.

Zhao Feng waited and bowed down. Cao Yi knew that the sixteenth elder brother was for his own good. Falsehood and reality, dilute the value of this property. Save trouble. Therefore, he also explained to Xiaoman and them

The box can affix a seal. It is not good to put a seal on this tent in the camp.

But with such a large sum of money left aside, if someone really found an opportunity to steal a box, two boxes. That's a lot of loss.

The sixteenth elder brother rubbed his red eyes and said to Cao Yuan: "Huruo, this thing is now counted, and it is not good that it is still in the Mongolian prince's camp, let's go and hand over the sign and ask for a meeting, and see what the arrangement of Huang Ama is." ”

Except for the hundred thousand taels of gold. The rest of the things can be worth 500,000 or 600,000 taels at least, and Cao Yi has no other way. asked Wei Hei and them to hold on for a while, and he and the sixteenth elder brother went to the front of the palace to ask for orders.

Originally, the two of them should go back to wash and change clothes first, pack up and then go to meet the king, but the sixteenth elder brother was afraid that there would be more officials after a while, and it would be difficult to deal with the crowd. pulled Cao Yi and went straight over.

Because it's still early. In front of the royal tent camp, there were no other officials waiting to see them.

After the sixteenth elder brother asked the chamberlain to send a message to invite him, after a while, someone came out to wear Kangxi's dictation and announce their faces.

Although it is not yet Mao Zheng (six episodes in the morning), Kangxi has already had breakfast, and when the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Wei went in. Wei Zhu was taking a few little eunuchs to remove the banquet.

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at it from the corner of his eyes, and saw that there were two empty porridge bowls on the table, it seemed that the imperial father had a good appetite and heart

The two knelt down. Kangxi rinsed his mouth with tea before waving his hand and telling the two to get up.

"Cao Yi has finished counting?" His voice couldn't hear joy or anger, and his eyes fell on Cao Wei.

"If you go back to the emperor, you will count them all and it's over. Next, what should I do, and ask the emperor to show me? Cao Yi bowed and replied.

Kangxi groaned a little and said, "Just allocate five hundred escorts, set off tomorrow, and escort them back to the capital." Nothing to do right now. You also go back to Beijing. I met your mother. Tell the truth about what the Queen Mother gave. ”

When Cao Po heard this, he was entangled in his heart, and the wealth and property worth millions of dollars had already made people feel bottomless; This, coupled with the five hundred escorts, is even more eye-catching.

Partial birth of this possessions. It was "given" to his mother according to the Queen Mother's will, and it did not belong to him. He is qualified to receive it on behalf of his mother, but he is not qualified to make his own decisions and be polite to the emperor.

He can only be honest and obediently lead the order.

The sixteenth elder brother was beside him. Thinking about it, this property has also been "given", and the inner servant has also been "given", so will the rest be "given" to the population slaves?

I didn't expect it, but I guessed correctly. These raids. Unlike knighthoods, there is no need to descend.

The Cao family was originally a white flag coat, and Cao Yi's parents and grandparents were also hereditary coaters. Wait until the Cao family carries the white flag to the Manzhou flag. The number of people and leaders of each banner is fixed, although the Cao family still leads the leader of the leader, but there is no jurisdiction over the banner people, and the hereditary leader has become unworthy of the name.

Now, this sentence is a great grace to the Cao family today.

Speaking of which, the original hereditary leader of the Cao family, who was coated in the Three Banners of the Internal Affairs Bureau, had a lowly status, and the person under his jurisdiction was also a servant of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

Now. Carried to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the weight of these raiders is not what it used to be, and in the Eight Banners, the right to lead troops and the right to counsel the flag are obtained.

Although the Cao family entered the flag before entering the customs, they are Han after all. This grace is extraordinary.

In the Eight Banners, the Han people who can get such grace can be counted in one slap. The Cao family is not a descendant. Without military merits, such grace can only be said to be "the grace of the world"

Kangxi was in high spirits. Cao Po was really frightened.

Even if it is to be gracious. Take your time, this one after another, it's really scary.

Don't even think about it. When the news was transmitted back to the capital, the Cao family became a powerful person to talk after dinner

The sixteenth elder brother wanted to roll his eyes when he saw the "kindness" on Kangxi's face.

What else do you want to do? I almost want to tell the world that Mrs. Cao is a noble lady and an authentic golden branch and jade leaf.

He didn't want to think about it. Decades of ignorance, this dynasty grace. Could it be that he is still waiting for his daughter to kowtow "Thanksgiving" to thank him?

Don't say that Cao Yi is still confused now. The Lee family will not know the inside story; Even if Li knew about it, how could he explain this sudden "father-daughter relationship"?

Outsiders can guess Junxin. Exploration one or two; It can also be spread by falsehood. As gossip. What should it be like to be a person in this game?

As long as there is no canonization of the princess of the world, the Li family is of course the blood of the heavenly family, and it is also the status of an "illegitimate daughter".

Even if the gold and silver finances are given and the eunuchs are sent, the identity of the Li family is still the wife of the Cao Mansion.

I met with the ladies of the inner court. Above the nobles, she will salute; Seeing the edict outside, it is the side lady of the Guogong Mansion, and she will also be the last one.

The more love. It can only make her identity more embarrassing.

I used to envy this sister for being favored by the imperial father, but now the sixteenth elder brother wants to be transparent, so he can only sigh

No wonder Cao Yi's eyes have been dark since yesterday, and there is no joy at all.

Although such a "grace" can round the emperor's fatherly heart, it disturbs the peace of Caofu

The capital, the Guogong Mansion, the upper room in the inner courtyard.

Li Shi took Cao Yi's hand, his face was full of joy, he took a long breath, and said, "The Buddha keeps the knot." Good news. Brother Shou is seven years old, and it's time to add a little brother. ”

Cao Yi's face was also full of tenderness. Stroked the lower abdomen. He said: "When I know that my mother is worried, I get the news, and I make people tell my mother good news." I thought that I would wait another month and the fetus would be stable, so I would go back to see my mother. but tired the mother to come to see her daughter. It's all daughters who are not filial. ”

Li patted her hand and said, "My son, you still take care of it, I haven't reached old age and can't take a step." The wife of this child has been looking forward to it for several years, and now she is finally pregnant, and it is not in vain that the old lady has been fasting and praying for a long time. ”

Cao Yi nodded: "Yes, although my mother-in-law didn't say it, our grandfather's only son passed on." Although it is the emperor's grace, there must always be children and grandchildren to inherit the father-in-law's incense. ”

There was something she didn't say to Lee. That is, if this child is not a son, then she will take the initiative to take two good concubines for her husband to reproduce children.

It's not to show virtue, it's just to repay the kindness of my mother-in-law for more than ten years.

The mother-in-law is getting older, and she can't let the old lady close her eyes when she can't see her grandson.

Although according to flesh and blood, Brother Shou is also the grandson of the old lady, but this successor to the Guogong Mansion is the little master of the Guogong Mansion, not the successor grandson of the old lady

Li Shi thought of his daughter thinking about this, and said with a smile: "Last time, you and your sister-in-law rushed together." At this time, we rushed together again, and the two of you sisters-in-law are destined. Our family is really happy,"
