After meeting several officials from the household department, Cao Hao returned to the official office and ordered someone to call Feng Che and Helian in. The two of them, Feng Che is the same age as Cao Hao, and He Lian is the same age as Cao Song.

It seems that the two of them didn't expect that the new chief official would be Cao Hao, and their faces were full of joy. However, Feng Che has been out of office for several years, and remembering that Cao Hao was "degraded" by the head of the Internal Affairs Office, he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly smiled.

Cao Hao got up from behind the bookcase, asked the two to sit down, glanced at He Lian, and said, "Doesn't the fifth aunt want you to take the exam?" Why did you go to the ministry on an errand again? ”

Helian's mother is Marhan's fifth daughter, and after being widowed in her early years, she returned to Shangshu Mansion with her only son and lived with her father.

He Lian has been studying in the Zhaojia clan since he was a child, where is he who loves to learn? The family has already donated to the prisoners, and they have participated in two township examinations and lost their names to Sun Shan. Because he is an only son, he got married early, and now he has a wife, concubine and children, and he is still studying, and I heard that he is preparing to participate in this year's township examination.

He Lian himself was also confused, and replied: "Big cousin, younger brother is also confused, I didn't listen to my grandfather mention it." I don't know how my grandfather arranged it, but I had already completed the formalities yesterday and came over on an errand. ”

Cao Hao was puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Feng Che.

Feng Che nodded, agreed with Helian's statement, and added, "I don't know why grandpa is so worried about this again?" My aunt didn't allow it, so she went to her grandfather to plead for mercy, and she planned to let He Lian continue the imperial examination. Grandpa said that Helian is not a seed of reading, and taking advantage of this opportunity to be an errand can also take care of it. ”

Was it a coincidence?

Cao Hao could only think like this, after all, the holy decree was only issued yesterday, and Marhan didn't know that he would go to the household department.

After all, he grew up in Shangshu Mansion and was taught by Marhan himself, although Feng Che and Helian were naughty when they were teenagers, they are now a lot more stable, and they are both honest children.

Cao Hao glanced at Feng Che and said, "Is Xiao Liu on duty beside Lord Chen?" How's the errand, is it hard? ”

"Hmm. The end of the year is the most tiring, and the beginning of this year can be better. Toyoru replied.

Cao Hao listened and said to He Lian: "My cousin and I are both new to this hospital, so let's come to the upper room and get acquainted with it." It's just that when the errand is no better than studying at home, there are more places to bother, if there is anything you don't understand, ask Xiaoliu and me. ”

"Yes, big cousin." He Lian stood up and listened, and responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Feng Che tugged on his sleeve and said in a low voice: "This is the official office, and I have to go to my relatives to call it." ”

He Lian is also a clever person, and when he heard this, he immediately became a little more serious, and changed his words: "Yes, my lord." ”

Looking at the two cousins, Cao Hao just felt that it was good to be young. He nodded and said to the two: "People are official in front of them, and there is no need to be too restrained in private." ”

When He Lian and Feng Che heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more words to Cao Hao, and went down on an errand to ......* Changchun Garden, outside the Qingxi Book House.

Seeing the fourth elder brother coming out of the study room, the sixteenth elder brother hurriedly greeted him. The fourth elder brother glanced at him twice, saw that his face was full of red light, and said, "I heard that you were uncomfortable a while ago, but it seems that you are better now?" ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard about this, he felt uncomfortable all over, and said, "Okay, okay, don't dare to let the fourth brother worry about it." The fourth brother just met Huang Ama? In a few days, if you want to patrol Gidian, will the fourth brother follow him? ”

The fourth elder brother shook his head and said, "I don't know, Huang Ama didn't mention this." ”

The sixteenth elder brother hesitated for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, that kid from Cao Hao has gone to the household department." You can take care of him more in the future, and he is not enough to make people feel sorry for him. Although he can do some practical things, he is not always good. will not steal the credit, and will not say a few more good words in front of the emperor. Are these six subjects easy to do? If something goes wrong, won't this official become smaller and smaller. ”

When the fourth elder brother saw that the sixteenth elder brother looked like "hating iron but not steel", he couldn't help laughing, looked at him and said, "It seems that the sixteenth brother is older, and he knows how to worry about others." ”

"Cao Hao is not a bystander...... Isn't it ......" Speaking of this, the sixteenth elder brother sneered and said, "Isn't it a niece-in-law?" Or a nephew......" The next sentence lowered the volume.

Although there was no one around, the fourth elder brother still frowned, glared at the sixteenth elder brother, and said with a straight face: "Don't listen to the wind and rain, even if the emperor Ama favors you, this should be a measure." Some words can only rot in the stomach......"

After the sixteenth elder brother finished speaking, he also knew that he was speechless.

He laughed twice and said, "In a few days, we will be four full moons, although we can't put full moon wine, but the fourth brother of this full moon ceremony can't pull it down." The younger brother also counted on taking this opportunity to fight the autumn breeze everywhere. ”

Seeing his hippie smiling face, the fourth elder brother couldn't blame him, "snorted", and said, "I still need you to make a special trip to say, your fourth sister-in-law has already been prepared." It's still a double portion, I hope that my younger brother and sister will be like Li's this time, and I will also add a little brother to you. ”

"It's still the fourth sister-in-law who loves my brother." Sixteenth elder brother said with a smile.

Although he has a deep affection for the Li family of Fujin and a lot of love for Hongpu, he can't bear to think that the two sisters-in-law of Sixteen Fujin have not stopped, and he hopes that she will get what she wants and give birth to a son-in-law. It's just that with a son-in-law, how do Li and Hongpu's mother and son deal with themselves?

Thinking of this, the sixteenth elder brother's smile froze, and he only felt a headache, but he couldn't think of the best of both worlds...... * After a few days, Cao Hao gradually became familiar with the errand of the household department.

It's not difficult to say, Toko is only responsible to the emperor. But all the excerpts that involve the errands of the household department, after being sent down by the emperor, will go to the household department first. Here, send it to the main hall of Tobe. These errands will be cleared in five words.

The household department is on its own errand, and it is also reported to the household department once on the fifth day.

If there is any doubt or clarity in it, it will be sorted out by the household department and reported to the imperial front.

Speaking of which, it is a bit of a link between the previous and the next, and it also has a bit of a supervisory role.

This said, another major event happened, the former Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court and the head of the Hanlin Academy, the university scholar of the Hanlin Academy, passed away.

Unlike Alinga's lingering sickbed, the condition of the previous days has improved. The emperor personally sent someone to preach: "When you are cured from your illness, you can know what to eat." I don't have anything here, but I don't know if it's appropriate for you, so I don't dare to send it. ”

There is the word "don't dare" in this edict, which makes the soul fly away, drags the sick body, and kneels in Changchun Garden to beg, saying that the word "don't dare" in this edict can't bear it.

Kangxi didn't summon him in the end, but only asked someone to help him down.

After this trip, I couldn't stand it, and I died of illness within two days.

Because of this episode in the middle, there are such rumors, and some say that because of the previous "party attached" to the eighth elder brother, he committed suicide in fear of sin; It is said that he lost his heart and died depressed.

Naranfusen had already released his foreign post last year and left Beijing without slackening. On the side of Nalan Mansion, there are only two heirs left, the eldest son Yongshou and the second son Yongfu.

Although Yongshou has been married on an errand, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, where can he take care of the funeral?

Although he came from a noble background, he never put up a fight in the guard's office, and he had a good relationship with his colleagues, and everyone was willing to come to take care of him. Among them, Cao Song is particularly close to Yongshou because of the relationship between Nalan Fusen and Cao Hao.

These days happened to be resting, and Cao Song went to Nalan Mansion to help.

Cao Hao had long known that Cao Song had a good relationship with Yongshou, but he was still a little worried, afraid that his younger brother would be involved in the Eight Masters Party. But there is also a relationship with Nalan Fusen in the middle, and it is not good for his younger brother to alienate Yongshou.

Now that the eighth elder brother is dead, and the Eighth Master Party has long since changed, Cao Hao naturally has no reason to stop his younger brother. On the contrary, thinking of Nalan Fusen, Cao Hao asked a few more questions.

The once prominent Pearl Mansion, with the death of the Mingzhu father and son one after another, has become scarce.

Cao Song only stayed in Nalan Mansion for half a day, and then came back happily. It happened that Cao Hao came back from the yamen, met him at the door of the house, and when he saw that he was wearing green clothes, he asked him to come in and talk.

It turned out that Cao Song and several colleagues from the guard office went to Nalan Mansion to help. It was good, and everyone shared the errand with the Nalan family's masters, and they went around to help.

As a result, at noon, Brother Jiu brought someone over and took over the funeral.

Although they were all helping, but the ninth elder brother held the prince's shelf, and everyone was less comfortable, and they came back after a long time.

When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little strange.

Since beating the eighth elder brother, after the ninth elder brother finished taking care of the eighth elder brother's funeral, he "hugged the sick", the first thing he came forward was to handle the funeral of Nalan Mansion, he was not afraid of taboos?

"Brother Jiu said that before he died, Yongshou Ta Ama entrusted their brother to Brother Jiu, so he will take care of that side in the future." Speaking of this, Cao Song frowned and said, "I don't know what Yongshou Ama thinks?" My nephew can't believe it, but I want to believe in outsiders. Brother Fusen is kind and kind, and he has nothing to say about eternal life and eternal happiness. ”

What else could there be, wasn't it just a troublemaker?

The mother of the mother is the daughter of the sect, and her wife is the granddaughter of Wang Yuele of Anjun, Geng Shi. Speaking of which, Geng and Bafujin are cousins, and her mother has been raising the palace since she was a child, and she has been named "Princess Heshuo", and her status is more noble than that of Bafujin's mother.

It's just that Geng's father is the third son of Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, although he is loyal to the imperial court and has not been implicated in the rebellion of the three feudatories, but he has been silent for many years.

The biological mother of Yongshou and Yongfu is the county lord from King Kang's mansion, and her identity is becoming more and more noble.

And Nalan Fusen is not only the concubine of the daughter, but also the biological mother fled from Nalan Mansion after Nalan Rongruo's death and remarried Jiangnan Shizi. If it weren't for Cao Yin's mediation, Nalan Fusen would have even recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, which would have been delusional.

It's good to be able to tolerate this nephew in Beijing, how can Xu entrust the family?

Cao Hao sighed, is this narrative stupid to read. Brother Jiu has no other hobbies, he loves gold and silver. Mingzhu has been a prime minister for half his life, and with the successive marriages with the royal family, this family must be very rich.

Tell me where this is to support the orphan, this is to lure the wolf into the house.

Cao Hao's heart was clear, but he was not interested in interfering. Even if Nalan Fusen did not leave Beijing with his wife and children, he would not give the family property to this nephew.

As for whether the Yongshou and Yongfu brothers are wronged, there is no need for Cao Hao's heart. has the relationship between King Anjun and Prince Kang's Mansion, and Brother Jiu is not good at doing too much. Besides, Yongfu is his son-in-law, and he, as a father-in-law, has no face to eat his son-in-law alive.

In addition to these dirty things, there is another happy event recently, that is, after Cao Hao was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Cao Hao was promoted by Cao Hao to be the head of the Internal Affairs Office of the Yidu Legislature. Although he was not promoted immediately, he was already satisfied, and he prepared a heavy gift and sent it to Cao Hao's mansion in person...... * Two days before the full moon of the fourth elder brother of the Li family of the Sixteenth Fujin, the fifth elder brother of the sixteenth Fujin was born safely.

The fourth elder brother was named by Kangxi and gave the name Honghao. The full moon of the fourth elder brother is said to be the gift of the fifth elder brother's "washing three".

Although it is still in the eighth elder brother's filial piety period, there is no big deal, but it is rare to "double happiness", and relatives and friends are still going to the palace to say goodbye. Chu Yu is here, so he naturally has to go.

After being lively for a long time, she came out of the palace at the next morning.

Looking at the two little brothers, she had something on her mind. Sitting in the carriage, she thought all the way, whether to invite a doctor to come over and check her body. If there is really no hope of recuperation, then what should I do?

The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. After a while, I told myself that the old lady had added immortality to her knees, and Tianyou could not be said to be a lone seedling; After a while, I felt guilty, although my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't say anything, but the old people who don't climb the children and grandchildren flourish.

Helplessly, she persuaded herself a few times, but she couldn't be virtuous.

Chu Yu returned to the mansion, and Amethyst got the news and came to Wutong Garden. She came for Wang Ying, and Wang Ying is different from Qi Niang, who lives in Cao Mansion. According to Chu Yu and Cao Hao, Wang Ying's lifelong event is also to be arranged by the mansion here.

Wang Ying is sixteen this year, and when she is filial, she will be eighteen, and she will be in the grade of going out of the cabinet. She lost her mother when she was a child, grew up in the countryside with her father and brother, and didn't know anything about female celebrity cooking.

Such a girl, even if she packs up a rich dowry and finds a good family to marry, it is not reassuring.

For Wang Ying, Chu Yu and Cao Hao specially explained that Amethyst was taken care of. Amethyst saw that it was inappropriate, so she came to Chu Yu to discuss whether to arrange a parenting mother for her and teach some girls the rules.

When Chu Yu heard this, he realized that he was negligent.

Speaking of the upbringing grandmothers in the house, which one can compare to Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang? When the second room was first divided, Zhao Jia's family had been grinding several times, and finally borrowed Aunt Chang to go over.

Because Aunt Chang was sent by the palace, she only listened to Chu Yu. Zhao Jia's put on the shelf a few times, and he felt unhappy in his heart. It's just for the sake of the fourth sister and the fifth son, I just endured it.

When she was going to talk to the Dong family, because Dong Suxin also worked as an errand in the palace, Zhao Jia's family was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to see Aunt Chang, so she hired a nurturing grandmother from outside and asked Aunt Chang to return to Dongfu.

The two girls in the East Mansion, Niuniu has grace and does not need to participate in the small election; Tianhui has an eye disease, so she doesn't need to be drafted. In addition, the two of them are still young, and they are both learning the rules in the same place as brothers.

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be. It's still my sister's heart, or I'll let Aunt Chang teach for a year and a half. Left and right are not drafts either, so don't be too harsh. Chu Yu said.

Among the two worshippers of Luo and Chang, Aunt Luo's surname is a little strict, that is, Tianyou and Hengsheng are afraid when they see this nurturing grandmother; Aunt Chang is much kinder and patient with her children.

Since Chu Yu arranged like this, Amethyst had nothing to say. And in her heart, she also felt that Aunt Chang was a suitable candidate.

Aunt Chang is gentle and kind, if Wang Ying can grind her surname and learn the ability to treat people, she will also benefit for life.

Unexpectedly, this arrangement contributed to the fate of Wang Ying and Aunt Chang.

Wang Ying has no mother and sister since she was a child, and after entering the house, although she has Qi Niang as her companion, she is just like her, a tomboy. Although Chu Yu and Amethyst are both gentle and kind people, they are usually busy with housework, and they can't say a few words when they see her every once in a while.

Aunt Chang is also alone, she entered the palace as an errand when she was a teenager, and her parents had already died when she left the palace, and she only had one brother, who was gone a few years ago.

Although Wang Ying grew up in the mountains and didn't understand the rules, she was innocent and kept her innocence. In addition, Aunt Chang knew that she was an orphan girl, and she defected to the Cao family after her parents died, and she felt more and more pity in her heart.

Wang Ying's side, seeing Aunt Chang's gentle teaching, is also willing to be close to her.

came and went, the two got along very well, and even Qi Niang felt red when she saw it. However, she only thought about boxing in her heart, and she was willing to quietly accompany Wang Ying in the house for two months, and she was already itchy.

Seeing that there was Aunt Chang accompanying her, she also put her mind at ease, either to the school to find Niuniu and them to play, or to find Cao Jia and Cao Yi to "learn", and said that the son was also having a good time...... * On the first day of the second month, the saint drove out of Beijing, patrolled Xinggidian, and followed the prince as the third elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother.

Since the death of the eighth elder brother, more and more people have walked around the third elder brother's mansion. This prince is canonized, divided into "Liyan", "Lichang", and "Lixian". The second elder brother stood up and wasted, and the "tide file" disappeared; The most virtuous Eighth Brother died of illness after two years of silence, and the backbone of the "Eight Masters Party" also died.

For the rest, there seems to be only one "standing long".

The eldest brother and the second elder brother who are circled are not counted, and the third elder brother is the eldest brother of the princes. Among the remaining princes and elder brothers, although the fourteenth elder brother is active, he is young in the end, and his martial arts are not obvious, and it is difficult to compete with his brothers for a while.

Even with the third elder brother, he couldn't help but feel complacent, thinking that he really had the Sacred Heart, otherwise why would the imperial father appoint him to follow him.

This said, to Zhao Beikou to board the boat. The spring is cold in February, but standing at the head of the Yuzhou Bridge, the third elder brother is still in high spirits, and he pulled the fifteenth elder brother to watch the scenery here.

Seeing that the third elder brother was complacent, the fifteenth elder brother pursed the corners of his lips and said as if unintentionally: "It seems that Huang Ama really values the fourth brother, and every time he leaves the fourth brother in the capital......"

When the third elder brother heard this, his smile froze on his face.

He glanced at the fifteenth elder brother and said, "Really? The fifteenth brother thinks so? ”

"Hmm." The fifteenth elder brother nodded and said, "In the past few years, as long as Huang Ama has gone out of Beijing, there will be a third brother and a fourth brother sitting in the capital. In the past two years, it has been a lot of times for the third brother to come out. We are only accompanying Huang Ama to relieve Huang Amma's boredom, but the third brother is tired of the fourth brother......"

The third elder brother laughed twice on his face, and he had already knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and he didn't know what it tasted like.

"Fortunately, Cao Hao was transferred to the household department, and they all said that he was capable, and the fourth brother was a boost...... "The fifteenth elder brother continued, looking at the distant mountains, and didn't seem to see that the third elder brother's face had drooped.

Behind the two, the sixteenth elder brother stood not far away, looking at the back of the fifteenth elder brother, with a somewhat complicated expression...... * Beijing, the household department official office.

Cao Hao sat behind the bookcase, choosing to meditate. Before the sixteenth elder brother left Beijing, he had looked for him. There are more than 100,000 taels of gold in the inner treasury, and taking advantage of the high gold price in the capital, half of it has been released before the year before the New Year, and it has been exchanged for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

After tens of thousands of taels of gold were released, the price of gold in the capital had fallen, and the remaining 100,000 taels of gold, the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to make profits. Therefore, the sixteenth elder brother found Cao Hao...... Although he did not put out the holy decree, Cao Hao knew that this was an errand sent by Kangxi to himself......

(To be continued)
