Chapter 66: Relatives

On August 11 of the 48th year of Kangxi, the holy car arrived at the right banner of Bahrain, and the harem concubines, civil and military officials, Mongolian kings, and eight banner soldiers who came with him were no less than 100,000 people.

The thirteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother returned to the palace on an errand, and then stayed outside the palace.

After Cao Hao came out on an errand, Xiao Man followed the escort of the sixteenth elder brother, and now he is very familiar with the little eunuch Zhao Feng. Seeing his son-in-law this time, Xiao Man was full of excitement.

Cao Hao's mood was not good, and the accomplices of the murderer who killed Wen Xiu were not found.

In the half month that Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother were absent from the palace, the relationship between Baoya and Sukhbaru was closer than before. Bao Ya's surname is Ge Aidong, and she often hunts with Sukhbaru horse races.

After arriving at the Right Banner of Bahrain, Baoya and Tana met with each other, and naturally there was another dispute. However, both of them grew up under the rules since childhood, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Kangxi, and they always looked happy in front of Kangxi, and they couldn't wait to quarrel in private.

Baoya has no consciousness of being a guest, and Tana has no self-cultivation as a host, and every time the two little Gege meet, they have to show their teeth and claws.

Cao Hao gradually thought about it, even if the other party found out about him? Be more vigilant, the other party just wants to discredit the prince, and has already achieved the goal, if it is still endless, then he will take the first step and make this secret public. As we all know, there is no reason to stop talking. It's just that in that case, he will inevitably become a target, and maybe it will cause Kangxi's dissatisfaction, which is really a good idea.

On August 15 of the 48th year of Kangxi, Kangxi held a banquet in the Bahrain Palace to entertain the Mongolian kings and civil and military officials. At the same time, Princess Heshuo Rongxian was crowned as Princess Gulun Rongxian, Urgon was Gulun's forehead, and the princess's daughter Tana was married to the emperor's eldest grandson, Erbeile Honghui, as the concubine, and the marriage will be completed in March next year.

Gulun is the meaning of "the world" in Manchu, the emperor is "the respect of the ninety-five", and his daughter naturally deserves the title of Gulun, but not all princesses are qualified to have the title of "Gulun", usually only the princess from the queen can be named "Gulun Princess".

If Princess Heshuo is the king of the county, then Princess Gulun is the prince of the county. Honghui is the eldest son of the crown prince and the best choice for the future prince. It seems that all Bahrainis believe that in ten or even decades, their little Gege will become the crown princess and the queen of the world. The whole of Bahrain is boiling, and there are countless feasts of all kinds and sizes for the celebration of the long live Lord Hong En.

Cao Hao looked at all this coldly, and sighed for Princess Rongxian in his heart. Although he had only met the princess twice with the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao had a good impression of her.

Among the princesses of Kangxi, although Princess Rongxian ranked third, because the first two princesses died early, she became the actual eldest daughter. She is a very gentle woman, always with a quiet smile on her face, she doesn't like to talk much, and she treats her younger brother Sixteen Elder Brother who is the same age as her daughter very lovingly. Even for Cao Hao, she doesn't put on a princess's shelf, and pulls up a few homely words, which makes people feel more cordial.

Cao Hao doesn't know how this Princess Rongxian ended up in history, but since she became the in-law of the crown prince, the end should not be much better.

After Tana was accused of marriage, she was detained in the palace to learn various rules. Cao Hao was considered to have been purified, and took the time to write a letter to his father to report his safety, and also wrote letters to his mother Li in the capital, his sister Cao Jia, Amethyst and Cao Zhong.

The grace of the Cao family to carry the flag has been officially decreed to the south, and Cao Yin's thanksgiving excerpt has arrived a few days ago. There is also a letter to Cao Hao, which is nothing more than a gratitude for the grace of heaven and an instruction to his son to be a good errand and so on.

The Li family, who took care of his daughter in the palace of Jingcheng County, also sent a letter, in addition to thanking the sixteenth elder brother, he also mentioned that he had met several young ladies and was looking for a good match for his son, but in the end, he had to wait for Cao Hao to return to Beijing to confirm the matter.

Cao Hao read Li's letter, and couldn't cry or laugh, his little body is only fifteen years old, is it okay to marry a daughter-in-law. Thinking of marrying a daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but think a little about it. He is a man in two lives, although he is not a virgin, but he is a real rookie in marriage. What will the people who will accompany you for the rest of your life look like in the future? According to the vaguely remembered Hongxue data, Cao Hao's wife in history was Ma. Right now, the young lady I know really has two families surnamed Ma, Ma Jun's sister and the daughter of Ma Liandao in Langzhong of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

Ma Jun's younger sister is the little foot girl who saw the figure in Linxia Zhai back then, and her age is similar to Cao Jia's, and now she is seventeen or eight years old, and she should have been married long ago. Ma Liandao's daughter, thirteen-year-old bean sprouts, a little girl with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Cao Hao thought of these two young ladies surnamed Ma, and suddenly lost his interest in dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law. "God, for the sake of me making it so difficult, those histories that don't affect the overall situation can be changed!" He couldn't help but pray in secret.

However, if the daughter-in-law is changed, will Cao Xueqin still have a chance to come to this world? Is this a big deal? Without Cao Xueqin, there would be no "Dream of Red Mansions", a treasure and masterpiece, so wouldn't he Cao Hao become a sinner in Chinese history! However, even if she gives birth to a little Cao Xueqin, the Cao family will not be defeated, and if she does not die early, the lives of future generations will not fluctuate.

As for sacrificing himself, sacrificing the Cao family, and preserving "Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Hao didn't have the slightest idea. He admits that he is just an ordinary person, but he is not so great. All sacrifices are based on preserving one's own life and preserving one's own comfortable life. As for "Dream of Red Mansions", when I have a son in the future, tell it to that kid, let's not compete with my son for the right to sign it.

When the sixteenth elder brother came to look for Cao Hao, Cao Hao was looking at the Li family's letter and thinking about this mess. By the time he noticed that someone had come in, the sixteenth elder brother had already stood behind him for a while, and he saw the matter of Li's letter planning to marry his son.

The sixteenth elder brother was feeling bored in the past two days, and when he found this topic, he naturally began to tease Cao Hao. Cao Hao Su said that he was gentle and elegant, and he rarely spoke meat, and he just smiled at the woman who took the initiative to show his favor, and he was quite immobile like a mountain.

The sixteenth elder brother's surname is quite frivolous, thinking that Cao Hao is still ignorant in the affairs of men and women, and has the heart to help him open meat, so he will pour Cao Hao wine in the first two months of the sacrifice of Ao Bao, and at the same time arrange for two Mongolian women to wait in Cao Hao's tent. Later, I heard that Cao Hao had carried a woman back, thinking that the wood had finally opened up, and he was afraid of delaying his good deeds, so he sent someone to send away the woman in the camp, but he didn't expect it to be just a misunderstanding in the end.

After two days of trouble, the news that Cao Hao was about to marry spread in the camp. Like Dete Hei and Shu Ming, these two colleagues, when they saw Cao Hao, they naturally congratulated and congratulated. Even Bao Ya believed it to be true, staring at Cao Hao with big bright eyes, trying to find out which lady it was. An honest man like Sukhbaru began to think about what to prepare as a wedding gift for Cao Hao.

Cao Hao finally saw the power of "three people become tigers", and it was passed around, and the relatives were all dressed as Cao's family and waited for him to return to Beijing to complete the marriage.

Sure enough, someone began to send He Yi to the door, and the person who came was Tana, who had disappeared in front of everyone since the marriage. Her face was a little clear, and her eyes were not as arrogant as in the past, probably tired of learning the rules recently. In order to be a qualified emperor and grandson, Tana is now taught the rules by a special person, and it is estimated that she will no longer be as free as in the past.

Cao Hao didn't have a good impression of this brutal little Gege, but he didn't hate it in his heart, he was just a fourteen-year-old child. Her attitude towards slaves was only common among the nobility, only because of the limitations of her birth and growth environment. For her love to entangle herself, in Cao Hao's view, she is just a small surname. It's just because he has a better relationship with Baoya and often plays together, and Tana eats it.

The congratulatory gift that Tana sent was a foot-long mahogany box containing twelve small gold ingots. Five taels each, for a total of sixty taels.

Cao Hao saw Tana open the box, revealing the gold ingots inside, and was a little puzzled: "Gege, this is ......"

"This is my congratulatory gift to you!" Tana squeezed out a smile on her face: "Thirty taels is considered to be your birthday gift last month, and thirty taels is considered your wedding gift?" ”

"Gege misunderstood, the marriage matter is just a joke of the sixteenth master, please take these back!" Although Cao Hao didn't hate Tana, he was not interested in having anything to do with her.

Tana looked at Cao Hao: "After all, there is a time when you want to get married, but you just sent it early!" ”

"Gege, the etiquette is still too heavy, Cao Hao is ashamed!" Cao Hao is still prevaricating.

Tana was silent for a long time, only raised her head and looked at the roof, her eyes slowly covered with a layer of mist

When Cao Hao looked at Tana, tears flowed down her slightly pale little face. She whispered, as if to herself and to Cao Hao: "I know, you all don't like me, you all hate me!" I'm not as likable as Baoya, I'm not as well-behaved as Sangege, everyone doesn't like me! ”

"I envy Baoya, having you play with her!"

"I've inquired about your family, and I really need money. It's not much, but it's my heart! ”

"I know you don't want to see me, but I still want to be your friend, this is the first time in my life to give someone a gift."

"Don't give it back to me, I won't have the face to take it back if you return it, if you don't feel comfortable receiving it, prepare a return gift. It's me who got married! ”

Eventually, Tana left, leaving behind the small box of gold bills.

Cao Hao is not a soft-hearted person, and he has no extra sympathy, but after seeing this little girl's lonely and desperate eyes, he did not open his mouth to refuse this untimely gift again.
