When he returned to Beijing, Cao Hao was catching up with Xiu Mu, so he went to Pingjun Wangfu to visit his sister and brother-in-law. Cao Jia's family added a personality in October last year, and at the beginning of the month, Cao Hao did not catch up because of his followers.

When Cao Hao went, Nersu hadn't come out yet, and when he heard that he came to see his sister and niece, he immediately showed a little smugness on his face: "Little brother, you don't know, my family is very rare." After looking at so many little Geges in the palace, there are no such lovely children. ”

Although Nersu already has two sons-in-law and two concubines, this is the first daughter, and he can't complain that he is happy to be like this.

Nersu praised two sentences, but he was still unsatisfied, waved his hand to call the steward, sent someone to the yamen, and said that he would go later. After the order, he couldn't wait to pull Cao Hao away, and said beautifully: "Go, brother-in-law will take you to see!" ”

Cao Jiashi had already gotten the news and knew that his brother was coming, and he was about to send someone to the front yard to invite him. Seeing that Nersu came in neatly dressed, she hurriedly got up and asked, "What did you pull down?" After speaking, I saw Cao Hao coming in after him.

"Sister, are these words okay?" Cao Hao has seen it recently.

Cao Jiashi looked at Cao Hao carefully, and said with some worry: "I finally raised it whiter in winter, why is it dark again, is this errand hard?" ”

Seeing his wife like this, Nersu couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "How old is Brother Yin, this is all sitting in the hall, you still treat him as a child!" ”

Cao Hao just smiled, looked at his sister, and asked, "What about my niece?" I think it's a lot bigger than when the moon is full. ”

"** just hug it!" Cao Jiashi said, send a maid to pass the ** over.

One less time, ** came with the little Gege in the swaddling clothes. Cao Jiashi took it, hugged it in his arms, lowered his head and said, "Fumin, it's my uncle who is here!" ”

Narsu stepped forward, took her daughter from her wife's hand, and said with a smile on her face: "Baby daughter, come, give your uncle a smile, let him see our dimples." ”

Xiao Gegexu was sleepy, and he was very uncooperative with Nersu's words, opened his small mouth and yawned. Cao Hao saw that her niece's appearance was really cute, and she couldn't help but think about it, if only Chu Yu's belly was also a girl.

Cao Jiashi saw that Nersu couldn't put down his daughter's love, and asked with a smile: "Didn't the master say that there was an appointment with someone from the yamen, why didn't he rush over?" ”

When Nersu heard this, he remembered that he reluctantly handed his daughter back to his wife, and said to Cao Hao: "Brother Hao will talk to your sister first, and brother-in-law will go to the yamen first, if you are okay today, wait for me to come back to eat and drink." ”

Cao Hao said: "Brother-in-law is busy first, I have other things to do today, so I'll drink again." ”

Nersu said: "That is the case, next time, we are not outsiders, and my brother-in-law will not be polite to you." After speaking, he went to Cao Jia's side again and touched his daughter's little face before leaving.

After sending her husband out of the door, Cao Jiashi saw that her daughter was sleepy, so she let ** hug her, and the two sisters and brothers sat down to talk.

"My brother-in-law is so happy, why don't you close your mouth, it can be seen that she is really a rare girl." Cao Hao saw that the places on the west side were full of children's gadgets, and asked, "These are all arranged by my brother-in-law?" ”

Cao Jiashi smiled: "Isn't it." Since the doctor found out that there was joy last year, your brother-in-law has been talking about Xiao Gege all day. I was afraid that the little brother would be disappointed, so I didn't dare to prepare in advance. After Fu Min landed, he was as happy as a magic barrier, and he was thinking about adding something to his daughter all day. ”

There are many sons and daughters in the world, but because of the "Eight Banners Draft", the rise and fall of many families are pinned on their daughters, so the daughters of the flag people are extremely noble.

There is no need for a draft here in the palace, and Nersu's joy for her daughter is purely because of her father's love.

Cao Hao picked up the small rattle on the table, swung it from side to side twice, and heard the sound of "pulling and pulling". Although it looks the same as the folk rattle, it is a red wooden drum body and a milky white sheepskin drum surface, but the workmanship is extremely fine, and the two small hammers are actually two jade beads.

"Hello daughter, I also told Chu Yu, if this baby is a daughter, it will be a child." Cao Hao said.

Cao Jiashi shook his head and said with a smile: "Little brother, this is no girl, if you have a girl, you will be worried." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but cover his handkerchief and smile: "Your brother-in-law is worried now, what if Fu Min is pointed out to Mongolia, these days are still talking, if you follow me, or ask for grace and point Fu Min to God bless!" Even if you can't stay in the capital, if you go to Mongolia, you can also go to Baoya to be a daughter-in-law. ”

Bao Ya gave birth to a little prince last year, so Cao Jia said so.

The two sisters and brothers were gossiping, and they heard a mother-in-law come to report that someone had sent a post to ask to see Fujin.

Cao Jiashi looked at the worship post and asked, "She came here in person today?" ”

The woman replied, "That's right, and I brought a lot of gifts to the door." ”

Cao Jiashi thought about it for a while, and called his henchman maid to ask Qin to go to the front yard to meet the guests.

Cao Hao saw that the other party was seeing Cao Jia's family, and knew that it was a female dependent, so he didn't ask more. Cao Jiashi sighed and said to Cao Hao: "This one who came, the younger brother may also know it, it is the daughter of the Yang family in Bihelou." I haven't seen her for many years, but she came to visit in person at the beginning of the month. I thought it was a young man's friend, so I met her, but she meant to rely on the palace to help. She has no man, and it is difficult to hide her frivolity between words and deeds, and your brother-in-law is amorous, so I sent her back. Now it comes again, I don't know why. ”

Cao Hao heard that it was Yang Ruixue, thinking about the dirty things on Li Ding's side, and felt tired for a while. It's just that there are some words, and it's not good for Cao Jiashi to tell the truth, so he said it in his heart, thinking that he should persuade his sister to stay away from Yang Ruixue, so as to save his reputation and be burdened by it.

While talking, Wenqin has returned.

Cao Jiashi asked, "What did she say?" Why? ”

Wen Qin smiled: "It's still a cliché, saying that I want to do business with the girl." She invested all the money on the shop side, but Miss Lao was looking for two masters who made palace flowers. also said that it was divided into fifty and fifty, which really amused the slave and maid. Seeing that she is also decent, but this mouth mentions money, which really makes people feel vulgar. ”

Cao Jiashi said with a smile: "She was born in a merchant family, and it is common for her to talk with calculations, but how did she think that the palace came here, although everyone said that they had some affection in the Jizhu Society, but it has been almost ten years!" ”

Asked Qin again: "That's right, girl, she said that she was going to get married, and the son was scheduled for next month, and said that she would send a post to the girl at that time, if the girl could appreciate her face, it would be a great favor!" ”

"Marry?" Cao Jiashi thought about the clothes she wore last time, thinking that her filial piety had passed: "Who is she marrying, can she say it?" ”

"Said to be a Beijing official, and he still has a knighthood!" Qatin replied.

Cao Jiashi listened, frowned slightly, and said, "Just say that I am not feeling well, please ask her to come back in the future!" ”

Asking Qin to answer, Cao Jiashi turned his head to Cao Hao and said: "If she were alone, I would still be thinking about the old love, and send two stewards to take a look and help her." If she remarries Jingguan, she can't be provoked, and she won't have to trouble your brother-in-law! ”

Cao Hao was listening, already stunned.

Yang Ruixue is Li Ding's confiner, even if Li Ding is dead, she still lives in the Li family's courtyard over Shichahai. She wants to get married, is she willing to do it, or is it arranged by Li Xu? Is this person one of the officials Li Ding entertained in the other courtyard?

Cao Hao was still puzzled, so he listened to Cao Jia's words: "How can you be regarded as an old man, when the time comes, the backup gift will be sent over, and the love will be shared." is also a businessman, she is really not comparable to Jiang Wenqi. Speaking of which, thinking of the past when I was a teenager, and now I am the mother of three children, I am also a little embarrassed.

"Jiang Wenqi", Cao Hao listened to this name, his heart moved, and asked: "Sister is talking about the second miss of Liuhe Qianzhuang?" ”

Cao Jiashi nodded and said, "It's exactly what I'm talking about, she is a very strong person, but her life is not good." The parents are gone, don't talk about it, and the men who haven't passed through the door are gone. At the beginning, among those people in Jiangning, I looked at her as the best. ”

"Sister, the second young lady of the Jiang family is in the capital. I heard that she was forced by her clan to go to her uncle in the capital, and now she has to pack up the shop and do business. Cao Hao said.

Cao Jia's face was still happy when he heard the front, but he frowned when he heard the back: "Why do you have to do business one or two?" The business in this capital is so easy to do, I really don't know how to measure. As a woman, a husband and a child are the right way, and it is really inappropriate to show your head like this. ”

Cao Hao heard that she was prejudiced against women's business, so he swallowed what he wanted to say and changed the subject.

* Eight Elder Mansion, study.

The eighth elder brother sat on the chair with a dark face, his eyes were full of gloom, and he said in a low voice: "Ninth brother, I'm afraid Huang Ama can't tolerate me!" ”

Brother Jiu touched his head and said, "What is this Emperor Ama thinking?" He is a person who has passed Jiazi, and if a virtuous brother like Starling doesn't stand, can he really establish Honghui's kid? ”

The eighth elder brother said with some feelings: "'The mother is more expensive than the son', 'the son is more expensive than the mother', in the heart of Huang Ama, no one can compare to the queen Yuan, and no one can compare to the second brother." Even if the second brother is ruined, in the eyes of Huang Ama, Honghui, the emperor's grandson, is afraid to be more noble than us concubines. ”

When the ninth elder brother heard this, he got up from his seat and said, "That's not good, the starling brother has been working hard here for all these years, how can he make that kid get cheap." Speaking of this, his face showed a fierce expression: "Hehe, it's really not good, let's just think of a way......"

The eighth elder brother heard the meaning of the ninth elder brother's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The ninth brother must not act rashly, there is no impermeable wall in the world, if the matter of seizing the heir is really useful by this means, then the eldest brother and the second elder brother will not have a surname to be kept and be circled to have children." ”

Brother Jiu also knew that this was really a strategy, unless it was forced to do so, if it was exposed, it would only backfire.

The eighth elder brother squinted his eyes, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Even if Huang Ama is interested in Honghui, Honghui is only twenty-one, and he is burdened by the abolished prince, everyone avoids it, and there are a few people who dare to go to him." It's hard to scream alone, if he wants to get out, it will take three or five years. Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "Huang Ama is already sixty-one, to put it mildly, who can guarantee that there are still a few three or five years." It has already been rumored that Huang Ama inspected the river affairs this time, and he was sick for a few days on the way. ”

When Brother Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, showing a little joy, and asked, "Is this...... It's true? Huang Ama was fine when he set off from Changchun Garden at the end of last month! ”

The eighth elder brother sighed and said: "Not only after the year, but since the 'Second Waste Prince' of the previous year, Huang Ama is not as healthy as in his early years......"

*Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.

"Hahaha! What a good son for me! Kangxi sat on the kang, holding the investigation fold sent by Fu Erdan in his hand, and laughed angrily: "I can't wait so much, looking forward to my early death?" ”

The chamberlain in the house had already been dispatched, and only the Minister of the Interior, Fu Erdan, was there. It is a matter of the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, Fu Erdan can only write the recital honestly, and the details of the investigation at the Mingtai Hospital are not easy to comment on at will.

Kangxi was so angry that his body trembled, and he threw the fold in front of Fu Erdan, pointed at Fu Erdan's nose and said, "You say, you told me, did that rebel really eat the heart of a bear and a leopard?" ”

Seeing that Kangxi was so annoyed, Fu Erdan hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said, "Long live Lord, maybe there is any difference in it, and I can't prepare for it." According to the slaves, the brothers should know the rules and taboos, maybe out of sincerity and filial piety, but it was just a misunderstanding. ”

Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "You pat your heart, do you believe it?" I'm not old and stupid, so I'm going to be able to get a good deal! ”

When Voldan heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more.

There was silence in the room, and after a long while, Kangxi spoke: "I heard that Li Huazhi, the master of the Zongren Mansion, gave a heavy gift to the old eight mansions for the New Year, humming ......" Speaking of this, he got up from the kang, took two steps on the ground, and asked: "What is the reputation of Yin Dong Hongyi of Fengtian Mansion?" ”

Although Fu Erdan rarely interacts with foreign ministers, because of his duties, he often pays attention to the dynamics of hundreds of officials, and he has also heard of Dong Hongyi. Therefore, he replied cautiously: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, you will say that it is a 'strong point' Fu Yin ......."
