Chapter 572: Ping An Buckle
Cao Hao only felt confused, as if he had a big dream.
In the dream, he even began to take the bloody route and block the knife for Kangxi. His uncle's, even in a dream, Cao Hao was slandered.
In other words, it may be out of loyalty, out of a desire for power and fortune, that they will go to block the knife for the emperor.
When I got to Cao Hao's side, there was nothing but helplessness.
If he had a choice, he really wanted to pretend to be slow to react, first stand by and watch, and then come to grab the sky.
But he didn't dare to take risks, the emperor's suspicion, history may change, which possibility, for the Cao family, it is another storm.
The consciousness was not yet clear, but he felt that his mouth was dry and his chest couldn't breathe, Cao Hao couldn't help moaning: "Water ......"
I heard the sound of soft footsteps, and then a cup was brought to Cao Hao's mouth.
Cao Hao's eyelids were heavy, and he subconsciously opened his mouth and took a sip of water.
But half of it was drunk in his mouth, and half of it flowed down the corners of his mouth and into his neck.
Someone took a handkerchief and wiped it gently, Cao Hao was confused, although he didn't open his eyes, he knew that the person who took care of himself was not Xiaoman.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Cao Hao opened his eyes on the bed, and what came into his eyes was a purple-brown back, with a big black and shiny braid hanging on it. At the base of the braid, there is a red velvet rope and a peach-colored braided tassel.
"Cao Hao woke up?" The sixteenth elder brother who came in at the door, thinking that he was in a hurry, gasped for breath, and asked the person with a purple and brown figure.
"Back to the words of the sixteenth master, the slave and maid heard that Cao Eyu asked for water." The purple-brown figure leaned down and replied.
"You've stayed up a few nights too, go and rest!" The sixteenth elder brother commanded, and looked at the bed, just opposite Cao Hao.
"I finally woke up, if I don't wake up again, I'm afraid something big will happen." With a little joy, the sixteenth elder brother strode towards Cao Hao's side.
Cao Hao looked at the sixteenth elder brother, but he was a little alienated in his heart.
Although he didn't do the sixteenth elder brother's thing when he was stabbed, thinking that he was Kangxi's son, Cao Hao couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
In the imperial society, in the eyes of the emperors and princes at the top of the pyramid, other people's surnames are just ants.
Whether it is the so-called "school examination" or "trial", there will naturally be no Kangxi's surname to do the risk. If you are not mistaken, the middle-aged waiter who is born should be guarding Kangxi's safety.
His Cao Hao's safety can only be resigned to fate.
Thinking of this, Cao Hao couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.
In this world, the people who really love him and love him, except for himself, only his parents, wife and children.
I had a heart-to-heart relationship with the prince and my brother, and I felt sympathy for the elderly emperor, and I seemed to take it for granted.
Seeing that Cao Hao didn't squeak for a long time, the sixteenth elder brother was a little worried on his face, and frowned and asked, "What's the matter, your throat is uncomfortable?" ”
A wry smile appeared on Cao Hao's face, he glanced at the cup on the round table not far away, and said, "Dry mouth...... The Sixteenth Master of Labor ...... Water ......"
The sixteenth elder brother turned around and poured half a cup of tea, returned to the bedside, and wanted to help Cao Hao get up and drink water.
Not to mention the tearing sensation in his chest, Cao Hao felt that his eyes were black, he was dizzy, and his body didn't seem to be his own. The moment he was helped up, his stomach was tumbling, and he was already bowing his head and vomiting.
He had been in a coma for a few days, and he hadn't eaten anything during that time.
Beneath the vomit came first the black, undigested medicinal broth, then the green bile.
The room was immediately turbid, and even the sixteenth elder brother was watching from the side, and he couldn't help retching.
Under this hectic situation, Cao Hao's clothes and quilts were stained.
There was no trace of blood on his face, and cold sweat the size of a bean slipped down his forehead.
For the first time in these years, Cao Hao became aware of the threat of death.
At the moment when his consciousness was about to fade, Cao Hao's mind was thinking of his mother-to-be Li.
If the mother gives birth to a boy, then even if she is gone, can the elderly parents pin their grief on the eldest grandson and young son?
"Mother's ......" In front of his eyes, Cao Hao couldn't help but murmur...... Kangxi's fury sounded in his ears, and then Cao Hao fell into endless darkness...... * Beijing, Cao Mansion, Lan Yuan.
Li sat on the kang with a slight frown. Chu Yu was beside him, asking a few of the big girls around them.
The big girl next to Tianyou is a walnut, the big girl next to Hengsheng is Xiaoxie, Tianhui is still young, and she has been in Wutong Garden, and there is no big girl around her. Later, Wu En came here on an errand, except for sometimes teaching Li and Chu Yu to learn to write Mongolian, and the rest of the time he followed ** to take care of Tianhui.
Xiao Xie is the granddaughter of the big housekeeper Cao Zhong, and she is fourteen this year. Her parents died young, and she followed her grandfather and grandmother to live a life. The meaning of Li and Chu Yu was to take care of the old housekeeper and avoid his granddaughter's errands.
Cao Zhong refused to become bigger, begging in every possible way to send his granddaughter over on an errand.
"Aside from the Wutong Garden and this courtyard, where else have you gone? Do you remember carefully? Chu Yu asked.
Among the three of them, Shu Wun was the elder, and he was the one who took care of Tianhui closely, and Walnut and Xiaoxie looked at Wuen in unison.
Wu En's eyes were already red, and he replied in a low voice: "Except for these two places, I followed the two young masters to the open space of the East Corner Gate to play, and I didn't go anywhere else." ”
Chu Yu thought about it and said to a few of them: "If you fall into something that you don't pay attention to, you can't keep it." Stay quiet, and wait until after dinner, when there's no one there, and then go back and look for it. ”
A few people responded, and Li frowned and said: "There are many people in this house, and it is difficult to keep those with shallow eyelids. Why don't you ask someone to go to the pawnshop outside to inquire? ”
Chu Yu shook his head and said, "This is not gold or jade, it's just borrowing an ancient meaning, how much can it be worth?" Besides, we have already checked once in our house this spring, and there are a few misbehaving people who have gone to Zhuangzi outside the city. The people left behind are all Jiangning or the old people in the house, if they make a fuss about this thing, they are not so confused. Yes...... However, the second wife came to visit the door in the morning, with a few girls with eyes, not like the old people in the house......"
When Li Shi heard this, he nodded and said, "You are talking about those two, they are quite smart, and these two are compared to Green Chrysanthemum and Zilan." I asked the second wife, and said that it was Brother Song's daughter-in-law's dowry. Listening to this meaning, it seems that Brother Song's daughter-in-law did not tolerate anyone, and sent these good colors to Zhuangzi. A few days ago, the girls in the small third room came back, and these few people who didn't know who they were asking for favor followed back. The second wife happened to feel that there was a shortage of maids in the house, so she put the two by her side. ”
Speaking of this, Li was a little embarrassed and said, "In the end, the family is separated, and it is not easy to ask them in the next room." It's better to inquire quietly, save yourself from making trouble, and the second wife will be too careful. ”
"What my wife said is that my daughter-in-law can save it!" Chu Yu should go down.
She didn't have words, but in her heart she knew Zhao Jia's plan.
It's been nearly a year since Jinghui came in, and there is still no movement in her stomach. Although Cao Song still has a concubine, his body is ruined and he can't get pregnant.
If there is no change in Cao Shuo, I am afraid that Cao Song has already added people to the house now.
It's not easy to be someone's daughter-in-law, not to mention that Jinghui is still an orphan girl. Even if there is a nominal mother's family, it is not easy to bother at will.
Cao Song is the eldest son of the second room, and it has long been said that it is a big deal to support the door. Even if Zhao Jia's family comes to the room, Jinghui's side is afraid that he can only bear it.
Thinking of her mother-in-law from Zhaojia's family, Chu Yu's heart was grateful.
Although Li is clumsy and rarely says anything heartfelt and touching, he has never interfered in the affairs of his son and daughter-in-law, and he has never broken his face with Chu Yu.
Comparing his heart to his heart, his husband is an only child. Even if the parents-in-law want to add a few more grandchildren and reproduce the bloodline, it is human nature.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu glanced at her mother-in-law's stomach and thought about it in her heart. It's been more than eight months, and in another month the child should be on the ground.
If only it were a boy, would I be more at ease? If it's a girl, the blood of the long house is too thin...... Chu Yu's heart was a little confused, and she thought that her husband was also wearing a safety buckle, could there be something wrong with this father-daughter connection?
Thinking of Jing Hui's marriage again, most of the ways are related to several palaces, but it may not be appropriate, when reminding Jing Hui to pay attention to it is ...... * Taijichang Street, Eight Elder Brothers' Mansion, study.
Brother Jiu held an object in his hand, turning it over and over, and he didn't know what was in his heart.
The eighth elder brother's face was a little thin, he was wearing a coat, he shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's really a cup bow and snake shadow, but it's just a mascot worn by a child, is it worth your trouble?" ”
"This is Cao Hao's blind girl, starling, I made people inquire carefully. Although this little girl is blind, she is the heart and soul of the Cao family, and even Cao Hao's eldest son has to stand aside. What she was wearing, was it an ordinary thing? Maybe the relationship between the Li family and the Queen Mother will rely on this buckle to find clues! Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows, raised the thing in his hand, and said with a bit of pride.
What he was holding in his hand was the tiger bone Ruyi buckle that Li and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not find.
The eighth elder brother's face was not interested, he rubbed his forehead, and said, "Ninth brother, who usually loves silver the most, why do you care about the Cao family again?" ”
The ninth elder brother had already stopped laughing, took a long breath, and said: "This time it is really strange, what is the relationship between this Li family and the queen mother, even if it is the fifth brother, he doesn't know the rumor at all." Before the holy driver left Beijing, I went to visit Eniang in the garden, and I didn't hear her say anything. Why did you get to Rehe, and the Queen Mother and her old man came to such a show? ”
The eighth elder brother replied casually: "Xu is fate is not guaranteed, Mrs. Cao Yin is from a mediocre background, but she has a very good reputation, I heard that she is an honest and well-behaved woman." ”
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "The Queen Mother has seen hundreds of orders in this life, and I haven't seen a few times when I lost my temper." Besides, not only the Queen Mother, but also the old fourteenth. He used to hate Cao Hao the most in his heart, and he had been talking about Cao Hao's mistakes all these years, but now he seemed to have changed his face. Even Cao Hao's departure from Beijing was guaranteed by him, and there must be some ways to do this. ”
The eighth elder brother listened, but his eyes looked at the pot of bluegrass on the windowsill.
How is the vain claim to be a "gentleman" different from a weed? It is the fragrance of flowers, which is noble and pure; Or is it green, green wax is cool?
Maybe he was a weed, but he was delusional about a high position, a big dream, and how much ambition he had.
Now, isn't it time to be sober, not to be a "virtuous king", but to be an "idle king" leisurely?
But it is the wind and frost sword, and the world is hot and cold, which makes people feel anxious.
I am not afraid of stopping the silver rice, after all, there is Zhuangzi, and the supply of the upper and lower people can also keep up.
But as a man, he can't support the door, and let his wife and children be looked at by others, which is really intolerable.
"Cao Hao, that's good!" Eighth Elder Brother spoke.
When Brother Jiu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's just a cunning villain, what's so good?" Hmph, I can see it, that kid, clever, there are many people who have calculated him over the years, who has taken advantage? ”
The eighth elder brother just smiled and did not explain, he praised Cao Hao as "good", referring to the fact that he did not avoid suspicion and entered and exited the Thirteenth Elder Brother's mansion.
Although the thirteenth was unlucky, he had a good fate in the end.
On his side, he is a "false name", although others have flattered him, but he has been neglected in the past two years.
* Outer Mongolia, Uriya Sutai.
After tossing for a few more days, Cao Hao's condition was better.
In fact, the wound on his chest was not deep, but it was only because the blade was soaked in poisonous juice that it was more dangerous.
Speaking of which, he should still be grateful to Amethyst.
If it weren't for the tiger bone in his arms, the blade deviated by half an inch and did not pierce the heart and lungs. Otherwise, even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid he will become a waste.
Every time he thinks of this, Cao Hao's resentment towards Kangxi is deep.
Although it can't be said to be gnashing teeth, it can no longer give birth to a heart of intimacy.
There is only one small life, but I can't afford to toss, I'm really scared.
"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", this sentence is really true, Cao Hao really understood the capriciousness of the emperor.
Now, Cao Hao is looking forward to the wound getting better later, being lazy and lazy, and has no interest in being a scalper; I also hope to be able to recover as soon as possible, so that I can save my parents, wives and children from worrying after returning to Beijing in the future.
He was holding the safety buckle that was shattered by the dagger in his hand, he was really homesick...... "forehead, tea ......" came with the purple-brown figure, and a soft female voice came from his ears.
Cao Hao raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, but his expression was a little uncomfortable.
The woman was in her twenties, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, revealing half of her goose egg face. Her name is Su Xin, she is the big palace maid next to Kangxi, and she was ordered by Kangxi to serve Cao Hao here.
Cao Hao was injured for most of the month, and Su Xin took close care of him, serving him to eat, drink, and Lazar.
The factor core is a little older and doesn't like to talk, but when it comes to taking care of people, it is close to the whole body.
Since he was a teenager, in addition to his wife Chu Yu, Cao Hao was served by other women for the first time.
When he was in a coma, Cao Hao was unconscious, so it was okay to say; After this soberness, the lonely man and widow are really a little embarrassing.
He wanted to tell the sixteenth elder brother to let Xiaoman come over to take care of it, but he didn't see the figure of the sixteenth elder brother for several days......
