The winter march was not the same as the one in May, and it only marched thirty miles per day. Because it was the 39th season, the weather was cold and frozen, and the people who followed him suffered a sin, and they were bound by many rules, and they could not trust the horse, and they were as boring as they were. Therefore, when Cao Hao accompanied his father to the Shengjia station, he choked the sixteenth elder brother with joy. There are also Detehei, Shuming, Nalan Fusen and others, all of whom are familiar with Cao Hao, and they know that he is coming, and they have a lot of excitement.

Kangxi knew that Cao Yin had arrived, so he didn't let him wait, and immediately ordered to summon him. Then, Cao Yin was given food. The two monarchs and ministers talked for several hours, and it was not until the second quarter of the evening (half past eight in the evening) that Cao Yin came out of the imperial tent. As for the content of the conversation, it is not known.

The accompanying prince and elder brother naturally had a lot of hearts, and when he saw the emperor treating Cao Yin like this, he was sure that the Cao family's holy family was still there. Last month, Jiangnan Governor Kali impeached Cao Yin's excerpt, although it was suppressed by Kangxi, but there are well-informed people who still faintly know some rumors. Everyone also waited and saw how Kangxi would deal with it and how the Cao family would respond. If the Cao family is unstable, then the Jiangnan officialdom will inevitably fluctuate greatly, and I am afraid that it will have a huge impact than the impeachment of three or two governors by Kali. How can the thought that it might be profitable and install people in his hands not to make people itch?

However, Cao Yin's arrival and Kangxi's subsequent attitude made the princes sober again. Think about Cao Yin, who is Kangxi's general friend, the two monarchs and ministers have been together for most of their lives, and they have already surpassed the affection of monarchs and ministers. If someone thought of moving Cao Yin, even if it was a governor like Kali, Kangxi would never allow it.

Naturally, the sixteenth elder brother would not think about these scheming things, and pulled Cao Hao to gossip, hearing that he went to the hot springs a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel envious.

The second time it was Laba, and the holy driver did not move to camp, but was still stationed in Khanerzhuang. It is inevitable that all the battalions and garrisons of Suihu will boil Laba porridge, but there is also a festive atmosphere.

Wang Yonglin, the governor of Shaanxi Province, who came with Cao Yin, was summoned to see the driver in the afternoon, and heard that he was promoted to the position of Guangxi according to the inspection envoy, and he was the third rank. After Cao Yin got the news, he went to congratulate him again. Wang Yonglin was promoted by two levels, satisfied, and took people back to prepare for his post.

On the evening of Laba, Kangxi held a small banquet at the station, and Cao Yin's father and son were also among the banquets. Since Kangxi left Beijing, Cao Hao has not seen this son of heaven for half a month. Now it looks good, and he still looks in his forties, much younger than Cao Yin. In fact, he is four years older than Cao Yin.

I don't know if it's because I saw Cao Yin's old age and sadness, during the banquet, Kangxi showed concern for Cao Yin three or two times, and rewarded the internal Yuanhu Dayu and a Yuanqing satin mink fur coat. Even Cao Hao borrowed a dark cloud leopard short-carded leather robe and a mink horse coat.

The emperor cared so much, Cao Yin was naturally grateful, and left the table to bow and thank him. The father has gone to kowtow, how can Cao Hao, as a son, be spared? Naturally, he knelt down after him.

Kangxi saw Cao Yin's gray hair, he couldn't bear it, and waved his hand to order the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother to step forward and help him up. Thinking that when the two first met, they were both immature, but now they are two old men, it is really unforgiving. Thinking of his side again, his children and grandchildren are flourishing, Cao Yin is over half a hundred years old, and he only has two children, and the younger one died young, how can he not let his heartache as a father. Now, only Cao Hao's bloodline remains.

Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at Cao Hao. When he went to the study, he always inquired about his homework, and knew that Cao Hao's homework was good. Kangxi also understands in his heart that this son has always been low-key and responsible, and he is afraid that this achievement is also a bit clumsy. However, I think his father Cao Yin has always been humble and polite, and it is not surprising that his son is so gentle.

Looking at Cao Yin's father and son, Kangxi remembered what Cao Yin mentioned yesterday, and couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him: "Cao Hao's family affairs, Aiqing doesn't have to be embarrassed, since you sent him to the capital on an errand, naturally I will take care of him." If there is such a matter in the future, I will say that everything is in charge, and you, the father, will not be able to speak! ”

Cao Yin and Cao Hao heard this speech with different feelings. Cao Yin solved the problem in his heart, and felt that it was a great grace, if it wasn't for Kangxi to stop him, I am afraid that he would have to kowtow again to thank him.

Cao Hao listened, but his liver trembled. Although I had heard Kangxi say that he was going to get married, I thought it was to find a suitable family at home, tell Kangxi, and then come down in the form of grace. I heard that in the marriage between the clan and the close ministers, most of them are in this form, and blind marriages like Sukhbaru are not common. It is precisely because of this that Cao Hao is not particularly worried about his marriage.

In the letter to his father and mother, Cao Yi had already asked the two of them three times not to help him make a marriage contract easily. Always wait until he meets each other and the family discusses before making a conclusion. Cao Yin and Li Shiyuan also responded, I really don't know what kind of play these two old men are having today?

But at the moment, these two old men look like gentlemen and ministers, and it is not his turn to speak as a junior courtier, so Cao Hao had to bow his head slightly, hide his doubts in his heart, and secretly speculate.

Listening to the meaning of Kangxi's words, it seems that someone wants to marry the Cao family, and Cao Yin himself is not easy to refuse. Which one is it? Ma family? Cao Hao thought of Ma Lian's Taoist "bean sprouts", and then denied it in his heart. - The Ma family is just a third-grade official, and the family is not prominent, so it will not make Cao Yin so embarrassed. But except for his family, no one showed such eagerness. Who's home? It's hard to think of.

If Kangxi wants to marry Cao Hao, this is not the first time it has been mentioned, and it has already been said on the grassland. Therefore, the prince, eighth elder brother, thirteenth elder brother, fifteenth elder brother and sixteenth elder brother who followed outside the Saiwai were not surprised, but the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother heard of it for the first time.

The fifth elder brother didn't care, but the seventh elder brother couldn't help but look at Cao Hao a few more times. The eldest Gege in his house is thirteen this year, and he has the same mother as his eldest son and second son, and is the son of his favorite side Fu Jinnara clan. Because of the goodwill between Manchu and Mongolia, whether it is the princess in the palace or the princess of each royal palace, eight out of ten will marry Mongolian. When the father and daughter parted, it was not easy to see each other.

The seventh elder brother inevitably has his own little abacus. Looking at the emperor's current favor to the Cao family, it is estimated that if there is an unmarried princess in the palace, it will not be surprising to marry Cao Hao. Since there is no royal daughter of the right age, what about the royal granddaughter of the right age?

However, the seventh elder brother also knows that among the royal granddaughters of the right age, there are not only their own daughters. The eldest brother has three grids and four grids, one eighteen and one sixteen, and they are more comparable in age. Although the eldest brother was deposed and banned for participating in the seizure of the heir, Kangxi still took good care of this grandchild. In September last year, he made the eldest brother the second grid of the mansion as the county lord and arranged to marry, and did not despise this granddaughter because of his father's guilt. In addition, there is the prince's daughter-in-law, who is twelve years old; The second daughter of the fourth elder brother, fourteen years old, has no marriage contract.

If the emperor wants to promote the Cao family, it is reasonable to want to marry with it. Thinking of this, the Seventh Elder Brother couldn't help but be tempted, thinking that after returning to Beijing, he would discuss with the Nala clan, and if it was feasible, he would plan and plan well. He doesn't have the heart to seize the reserve, so naturally he doesn't have to shy away from those people, he just wants to find a good husband for his beloved daughter.

Maybe it was because the seventh elder brother glanced over there a little more times, Cao Hao noticed it, and couldn't help but look up, just looking at him.

The Seventh Elder Brother's eyes did not shy away, but greeted Cao Hao with a smile and a little "love". The seventh elder brother Yinyou, who was named the king of Dorochun County, has a somewhat strange surname because of his disabled legs and feet, and treats people very coldly. At present, this abnormal behavior makes Cao Hao inexplicable, and he only feels unspeakably weird, but he doesn't know what is wrong.

The seventh elder brother looked at Cao Hao more and more satisfied, the Cao family had a simple population, Cao Yin and his wife were in the south, and Cao Hao had no siblings except for King Ping, Fujin. When her daughter marries, she doesn't have to deal with a large family, and she will definitely live a harmonious and beautiful life.

Cao Hao suddenly felt chills all over his body, and quickly lowered his head and took a sip of wine. It seems that Laba is really cold, and even in this imperial camp, people can't get warm.

* Beijing, Cao Fu.

Since Cao Yi knew that he wanted to return to Jiangning with his father, he asked someone to start packing his bags, and those who could pack the bags first to avoid being busy before leaving, and then went to the Pingjun Mansion and Cao Jia's Baoya to resign.

Baoya was reluctant to let her go, so she stayed in the palace for two days, and accompanied her to say goodbye to Yongjia.

Yongjiasu and Cao Yi can talk, and it can be regarded as a handkerchief, thinking that she doesn't know what goodbye is, which is quite sad.

Cao Yiqiang smiled and persuaded: "Didn't we have done that gathering and scattering poems in the Jizhu Society?" My sister must be so grateful. At the beginning, we gathered and dispersed in Jiangning, but now we don't gather again in the capital? It can be seen that this world is originally gathered and scattered, and now my sister went to the south, and I can't help Uncle Qi to go out of Ding Worry and then put the errand in the south, and my sister followed, so let's not gather in the south again? ”

Yongjia nodded yes, but the corners of her eyes were still wet. As soon as the filial piety period is over, he will be married, and he said that he has not yet decided where he is, and he doesn't know what kind of fate he has cultivated before they get together again.

Bao Ya was reluctant to Cao Yi, she cried twice at home, and now when she saw Yongjia and Cao Yi with red eyes, she couldn't help but drop the golden beans, but she cried more sadly than the two of them, which made Cao Yi and Yongjia panic, and they were busy coaxing and persuading her to get her right.

Bao Ya suggested that these days be said to visit the fun and delicious places in Beijing again, and it can also be regarded as seeing off Cao Yi. She pouted pitifully, and said this with tears in her eyes, where could Cao Yi and Yongjia still say the word "no", so they had to rely on her.

When Yongsheng heard that Cao Yi was leaving, he only felt a pity in his heart, he just had a little affection for her, but he was so lost. However, most of his mind is still on Baoya, so it's a pity that it's over, and there is no heart-piercing pain, so he left his hand after playing with his sister and Cao Yi and Baoya for two days.

Cao Yi came back from the palace, settled down for a day, and planned to go to Mrs. Jueluo to resign the next day. As a result, I got up early the next morning, and before I went out, I was blocked in the courtyard by Mama Zhang in Cao Song's room.

"The third girl is in charge of the second master!" Mama Zhang was let into the house, sat down on the small pestle, and complained without drinking the tea: "The eldest master and the eldest master went out of this mansion, and the second master seemed to have taken off the reins, but he was so happy!" Eat drunk twice in three days, is this worth it? Now that he is older, no one can say anything, and now the three girls in the house say that he can still listen. The third girl should tell him not to go out! ”

In fact, when Cao Hao was at home, Cao Song went out to eat with his cousins a few times. Cao Hao only warned him that he was greedy and hurt his body, and he couldn't drink it, but he didn't restrain him and didn't allow him to go. Many of Cao Hao's buddies made friends through drinking together, including Yongqing Ningchun, and they naturally knew that it was very easy to establish brotherhood at the wine table. Cao Song's age is the time to make friends, and he is a broad surname, what do you want to detain him?

Cao Yi also knows his brother's attitude, and thinks about himself, he is still full of joy when he goes out to play with Yongjia and Baoya, not to mention Cao Song, who has always been fond of making trouble? He went out for a drink with his cousins, and it was nothing. Therefore, after listening to Mama Zhang's complaints, she just smiled and said softly: "The second brother is traveling with his cousin all the way, don't worry, just persuade him to eat less wine." ”

How long is Mama Zhang's horse face, and she frowned: "The third girl still thinks that the second master is not wrong?" The second master didn't come back all night yesterday! ”

"Huh?" Cao Yi was taken aback: "Didn't return overnight? Why didn't you report last night? As he spoke, he stood up and asked the maid to invite Amethyst, and asked who followed the second master out yesterday.

Mama Zhang originally wanted to bluff Cao Yi to come forward to restrain Cao Song, but now when she saw that this matter was going to make a big fuss, she didn't say it clearly, so she found out that she lost it in vain, and hurriedly stood up and stopped her head, and said: "Girl, don't worry, girl, don't worry." It was...... It turned out that the second master sent someone to say that he would not come back......"

Cao Yi had a cold face and said seriously: "Mama, this is not funny, did he send someone to tell him?" ”

Mama Zhang sneered: "I sent someone back to say." Can...... Can...... But that said, this is also inappropriate! Third girl, you have to take care of him......"

Cao Yi heard that his brother was fine, so he relieved himself: "I know what Mama means, and I will persuade him when I go back." I still have something to go out in a while, so I won't stay with my grandmother. After that, he motioned to the maid to send off the guest.

Mama Zhang made a lot of trouble because of a wrong sentence, and she couldn't say anything more, so she withdrew with her old face.

Cao Yi instructed someone to tell the second master of Amethyst, and asked her to go to Huaiyuan to have a look after Cao Song came back, so as not to let Cao Song and Mama Zhang quarrel. Then he went out of the courtyard and prepared to go to Jueluo's house.

Out of the gate, Cao Yi was about to get into the car, and Cao Song came back with the elder and the little servant on horseback. Cao Song saw that his sister was here, patted the horse over, got off the horse and asked with a smile: "Where is my sister going to play again?" ”

Cao Yi said angrily: "You know how to play!" Why didn't you go to school? Where did you go yesterday? Mama Zhang was so anxious that she went to me just now and bluffed me. ”

Cao Song frowned when he heard this, and muttered: "Mr. is sick and has given us three days off." I'm just having two glasses of wine with my brother, and I'm too long-winded for her. ”

Cao Yi said: "We don't restrict you to make friends, but you should also pay attention to yourself, don't be greedy and make your family worry." If you want to come back drunk again, I won't follow it. If you refuse to do so, I will tell my father and brother that they will punish you. ”

Cao Song responded with a smile: "Got it." The third sister hurts me, don't tell my uncle when I turn around. ”

Cao Yi nodded his forehead and said with a smile: "You! Because he smelled the smell of wine on his body, mixed with the smell of smoke, he said, "Go back quickly and wash and change your clothes." If Mama Zhang goes back and says you, you don't like to listen to it, just don't quarrel with her! She's old, and it's for your good, and for your mother's sake, it's up to her to take a step. ”

Cao Song waved his hand and said, "Got it." Sister should go quickly, after a while, Bao Gege will be tired of waiting, and will rush to our house on horseback. ”

Cao Yi smiled: "You will quarrel with her!" I'm not hanging out with her today. I'm going to say goodbye to Mrs. Kyaw Lo. ”

Cao Song heard that he was going to Jueluo's house, and hurriedly said: "I will also go to ......" Before Cao Yi could answer, he shook his head first: "No, it's too lacking today." My sister went to do a good job for me. Instead, I'll go to him for a drink. ”

Cao Yi responded and laughed at him again: "You know how to eat wine now!" Let's go back and get some rest. As he spoke, he instructed him a few more words and got into the car.

Cao Song returned to the courtyard and entered the room, and sure enough, he saw Mama Zhang standing there with a blue face. Seeing him come in, Mama Zhang opened a bloody mouth and chattered, beating Zhaojia's expectations and talking about Zhaojia's old lady's care, and then advancing to the future of the Cao family. Cao Song was extremely impatient when he heard it, but he promised the third sister not to quarrel with her, so he endured it and listened.

Seeing that Mama Zhang's mouth was dry and she stopped panting, Cao Song hurriedly shouted to the second general Jade Cicada and Jade Firefly: "Mama is tired, quickly help Mama go back to the house to rest, and make a pot of tea for Mama!" ”

Jade Cicada and Jade Firefly are used to doing this job, so they came up in response and set up Mama Zhang and left like a gust of wind.

Cao Song stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and called someone to fetch hot water for washing. Then, he lay on his back to the kang with his back to the sky, took out a small ingot from his purse, put it in front of him, rubbed it over and over again, looked and looked, and laughed stupidly.
