Chapter 434: The Feast (Part II)

is the same as Cao Hao, and Wanyan Yongsheng. With the friendship between the Cao family and the Wanyan family, since Cao Hao's eldest daughter is full moon, even if Cao Hao is not in Beijing, he has to go through the motions.

In the morning, he sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, and when he heard that Cao Hao had returned to Beijing, he naturally wanted to come over to have fun.

He was born in Kangxi for fifty years, in fact, his grandfather was mourned, he was the second grandson, and he became filial piety for a year. After all, he is not the eldest son, not the eldest grandson, and he does not need to keep filial piety for three years like his father and brother.

It's just that he was young and didn't have a suitable errand for a while, so he dragged him to his home to get rid of his filial piety, so he made up for a six-grade pioneer school. Now, three years later, he has been promoted to a higher level, and he has appointed a forward leader.

This time, half of the forward battalion followed Hurehe and half stayed in Gyeonggi. He was originally in the half of Suihu, but because his father was sick, he was not very relieved, so he found a relationship and stayed in the capital.

The fourteenth elder brother was a little dissatisfied with Cao Hao, and Wanyan Yongsheng knew it. The fourteenth elder brother is a prince, he has his own pride, disdain is disdain, and he will not be perfunctory.

Not to mention Cao Hao, even Cao Hao's father-in-law, the seventh elder brother, has no weight in the eyes of the fourteenth elder brother. It's just that the chronology is ahead, and the face has to pass.

Today, Yongsheng came out of the yamen, and happened to meet the fourteenth elder brother who didn't know how to come out and wander, so people looked for him everywhere.

Hearing that Yongsheng was going to Caofu, the fourteenth elder brother had a little more sarcasm on his face, and he didn't say that he wanted to follow.

The two said a few words at the corner of the street, and they were going to disperse separately, but they happened to see the carriage of Prince Yong's mansion traveling.

Prince Yong's Mansion has a Fu Jin, two side Fu Jin, among which the Fu Jin Nala clan and the Fu Jin Nian clan are all following the four elder brothers in Rehe, and now the Beijing Palace's side is the side Fu Jin Li is in charge.

The fourteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother are born with the same mother, although the two brothers are ten years apart, and their ordinary tempers are not similar, but after all, they are siblings, and the female relatives of the two families are quite close.

It's hard to say whether it's really close, at least in front of Concubine De, the concubines are all decent and decent.

Since it was the carriage on the elder brother's house, the fourteenth elder brother naturally took the reins and stepped forward to say hello.

As he thought, the person sitting in the carriage was none other than the fourth elder brother's side Fujin Li clan. After seeing each other twice, I heard that the Li family was also going to Caofu, and the fourteenth elder brother's expression was a little strange.

It is rare that Chang Fujin is not there, and the Li family entertains Prince Yong's mansion and cleans up extremely dignified and noble.

The fourteenth elder brother muttered in his heart, is Prince Yong's Mansion so close to the Cao family? Although I knew that there was a relationship between the two, but now I see it with my own eyes, it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

For a while, the fourteenth elder brother was also a little interested, and after saying goodbye to the Li family, he urged Yongsheng to hurry up and go to Cao's mansion to see the excitement.

Yongsheng saw that the fourteenth elder brother had changed his mind, and he was also wondering in his heart, wondering if it was because he knew that Prince Yong had come to the Cao family?

Cao Hao is married to the granddaughter of the emperor, not to mention that the prince is on the side of Fujin, even if Fujin comes to the door to entertain, it is just looking at the face of relatives, which is nothing. Fourteenth elder brother, why do you value this?

Because Yongsheng rode a horse with the fourteenth elder brother, they pulled the Li family far away and arrived at Cao's Mansion first.

Cao Hao got the news and came out.

In Cao Hao's eyes, this is indeed the sun hitting the west, because the fourteenth elder brother not only came, but also brought a little smile.

This is the usual, the fourteenth elder brother whose tail is about to be cocked to the sky?

Seeing the fourteenth elder brother smile and say congratulations, Cao Hao felt a chill in his back, and was a little "flattered".

Yi Duli is the brother-in-law of the fourteenth elder brother, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Seeing that the fourteenth elder brother was coming, Yi Duli's face was genuinely happy.

Although the fourteenth elder brother came empty-handed, because the congratulatory gift had already been sent from the palace by the fourteenth Fujin, it was not rude.

The favor in the capital is like this, regardless of whether your relationship is good or bad, but if you are involved with relatives, you still have to have the number of courtesies you should fulfill. After all, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, no amount of silver can be saved casually, otherwise you will be laughed at and not rude.

entered the front hall, but everyone needed to get up and salute.

The fourteenth elder brother looked around and saw that they were all in-laws and old friends of Cao Fuping, and he was also sure of it.

The fourteenth elder brother here served tea, and a little girl came to report, and the aunt came.

This noble person needs to be welcomed, and Cao Hao, who is of high seniority, has to be welcomed.

This aunt is Cao Hao's uncle Fu Nai, but now he is here with his family. His step-room, Ilgen Kyoro, is the cousin of Ituri, and both of them are in-laws.

Ilgen Jue Luo's carriage was rushed by the coachman to the second gate, Cao Hao greeted Fu Nai in the living room, and after walking a few steps, the housekeeper caught up again, took the name card in his hand, and said, "Uncle...... The blessing of Prince Yong's mansion has arrived......"

This is a rare thing, one after another, and Cao Hao is suspicious in his heart. He Kangxi entered Beijing in the forty-eighth year, even if more than one year in Yizhou is not counted, he has been in Beijing for more than four years. Although he has some dealings with Prince Yong's mansion, he prepares gifts here for the New Year's Festival, and he also returns some gifts on the occasion, but this is the first time that Fujin has come to the door in person.

For Li Fujin of Prince Yong's Mansion, Cao Hao knows. After all, she is the biological mother of the eldest son and eldest daughter of Prince Yong's mansion, and she is also very important when she travels between the major palaces.

Now, the three little elder brothers of Prince Yong's Mansion are in their teens, and the other two younger ones are only three or four years old. In the eyes of the world, if there is no accident, then Hongshi is big, and he is the best candidate for the prince of Yong's mansion.

Whether you are surprised or suspicious, it is not only the personal visit of the prince and the elder, then Chu Yu has to come out to greet him personally. Therefore, while Cao sent someone to deliver a letter to the second gate, he called Cao Song and asked him to accompany his uncle to the front hall.

For Fu Nai's cheap uncle, Cao Hao didn't have much feeling. But since the other party is close to him under the guise of relatives, then he will also respond in the name of relatives, but he just knows it in his heart.

One day later, Chu Yu came out of the inner courtyard, accompanied by Zhao Jia's and Cao Jia's.

Li's carriage was welcomed outside the second gate, and Cao Hao and Chu Yu were already waiting here.

Li helped the maid's hand to get out of the car, and everyone leaned down to salute.

According to the rank of the knighthood, the prince's side Fujin is the same as that of the prince of the county. It's just that because of the low rank of the king of Pingjun, Cao Jia's gift is good.

Li straightened his waist and said to Cao Hao first: "Congratulations to Cao Eyu for adding a noble daughter, our prince made a special letter to mention, Xiao Gege's etiquette should be meticulous!" ”

Cao Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, what does this fourth elder brother mean? Is it because the rumors have faded now that such a show has come out, like the world showing the intimacy of the two families? If this play is over, how can Kangxi be compatible, this is playing with fire!

Each lion has its own sphere of influence, thinking that an old minister like the Cao family is Kangxi's territory, if any prince wants to warp the corner, then be careful of Kangxi's claws.

However, since the fourth elder brother was showing goodwill, Cao Hao could only bow his head obediently now. He didn't want to leave anything disrespectful, pass it on to the fourth elder brother, and let him record it for ten or eight years, it would not be a blessing.

When Li said what he should say, he put aside Cao Hao and talked to the female dependents.

In the past few years since Chu Yu got married, she has also walked around Prince Yong's mansion, so the Li family is also familiar with her, not to mention the Pingjun Wang Fujin Cao Jia family.

There is only Zhaojia's family, but the Li family is the first time to see it. Seeing that he was wearing a gray and blue flag suit, although there were two heads on his head, they were just two plain hairpins, which were the dress of Shouxiao, Li smiled and said, "This is the wife of the in-laws, right?" ”

Chu Yu said: "What Fu Jin said is exact, this is the niece's second aunt. ”

Li nodded, and said to Zhao Jia's with a smile: "I heard that you have gone to Beijing, you are all relatives, and you have to go to our house to move around, you are all relatives, how can you be divided?" ”

Zhao Jiashi hurriedly bowed down and said, "I have long been thinking about asking for peace for the Fujin, because this is not yet filial piety, so I didn't dare to come to the door rashly." ”

As he spoke, everyone had already gathered around Zhaojia and entered the second gate.

* Aoi-in, upper room.

The imperial doctor has arrived, although Ruhui is reluctant to take off her socks, but her ankle is swollen and she has no bottom in her heart. Therefore, she had no choice but to blush, remove her socks in half, and ask the doctor to check them.

After the doctor saw it, please Ruhui lift the socks and help her straighten her bones.

Although it hurt so much that her forehead was sweaty, Ruhui didn't want to lose her temper in front of her subordinates, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.

The imperial doctor prescribed two prescriptions for blood circulation and inflammation, and kept half a bottle of potion for external use, and carefully advised a few words before getting up and leaving. Amethyst asked someone to offer the consultation money and asked Wuen to send the imperial doctor out.

It's only a moment of effort, and several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have come over, all looking for Amethyst. The banquet of the gentlemen in the front yard and the banquet of the ladies in the second gate, from how to open the banquet to what kind of porcelain to change, they have all been asked one by one.

The side of Prince Yong's mansion is an unexpected guest.

Originally, among the female dependents, the Thirteen Fujin was the most noble, and he was the host and guest of the inner house. But now that he has come to the side of Prince Yong's mansion, there are two hosts and guests, and the position of the banquet has also changed.

Speaking of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, it can be regarded as a special existence now. If he is knighted, when the brothers meet, although they are all polite, they will naturally be bound by the rank of the knighthood when they talk back and forth.

Now that he is not knighted, he is still treated as an unknighted prince, which is half a level higher than the status of the prince of the clan.

The princes and brothers are like this, and the ladies naturally followed. Therefore, even if the side Fujin of Prince Yong's Mansion comes, he still has to sit at the bottom of the Thirteen Fujin. However, because the fourth elder brother is the elder brother, the position of the side Fujin of the fourth elder brother's mansion cannot be too low.

When ranking the seats, it is necessary to show the dignity of the Thirteen Fujin, but also not to neglect the Li family.

Amethyst thought about it and ordered the maid to go down. Due to the addition of distinguished guests, the original set of Jingdezhen porcelain is not enough, and it is necessary to replace it with another set of blue and white porcelain.

Indeed, he was guarding the treasury, and Amethyst took the key, and sent them down to fetch it.

After coming and going this time, even Ruhui saw that this amethyst was not an ordinary slave. Despite this, she is not the kind of person who can pull down her face to talk to her subordinates, so she just faintly thanked her.

Amethyst didn't take these things to heart, and seeing that there was nothing big about her side, she took the little girl to Wutong Garden to wait.

Although Wu'er and Hengsheng live in the upper room here, many furnishings and ornaments in the house are still the same as when Cao Hao was there.

Ruhui was straightened by the doctor, although her ankle was red and swollen, but it was not as painful as just now.

When Amethyst is there, she naturally does not squint and refuses to lose any measure; When Amethyst went out, she looked around the furnishings in the house, touched the half-new anti-felt, and muttered, "This is not much richer than anyone......

Cao Hao Qing got up and was busy for a long time, and his forehead gradually appeared sweaty. Cao Song saw it, and hurriedly sent people to urge the banquet to start. When everyone didn't pay attention, Cao Song was a little uneasy, pulled Cao Hao's arm, and said in a low voice: "Brother, why don't you find a reason to rest first, don't be tired." ”

Cao Hao's injuries are a little itchy, but today is the joy of his daughter's full moon, and he doesn't want to have any extraneous branches. Therefore, it is okay to do it, not bad for this time.

One time less, Cao Fang stepped forward to ask for instructions, the wine and food had been prepared, whether to open the banquet in the second hall or the flower hall.

Although the second hall is spacious, it is a leading room, which is not as elegant as the flower hall. Therefore, Cao Hao let the banquet be placed on the side of the flower hall.

Outsiders didn't know that Cao Hao had returned to Beijing, so most of the female relatives came to the door, and the male guests were all real relatives.

Cao Hao took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was almost Shenchu (three o'clock in the afternoon), and it was time for dinner, but his brother-in-law Nersu had not yet arrived.

Cao Hao was about to ask someone to go to the door to look, and Nersu had already strode into the living room with a fan.

He must have arrived in a hurry, sweating on his forehead. As soon as Nersu was about to congratulate Cao Hao, he saw the fourteenth elder brother looking at him with a smile, and even unexpectedly, patted Cao Hao's shoulder, stepped forward to give the fourteenth elder brother a thousand salutes, and said with a smile: "Fourteenth uncle, why do you have time to come?" ”

The fourteenth elder brother smiled: "It's okay to be idle left and right, beg for a glass of wine to eat, and you know that you will come here." ”

Seeing that the two of them were very warm, the closeness on Nersu's face did not seem to be fake, and Cao Hao was beside him, and he only felt a little cold......
