Rehe, a summer resort.

The weather in Rehe is already cool, and there is no heat at all on the edge of Haizi. In the early morning, when walking by the sea, you have to put on a piece of clothing.

The sixteenth elder brother sat in the pavilion by the sea, looking at the water waves in front of him, his face had no smile on his face, I don't know if it was because of the morning breeze, but it was a little unbearable to look at the coldness.

Seeing this, the fifteenth elder brother sighed twice, stepped forward, helped the sixteenth elder brother's shoulder, and called softly: "Sixteenth brother!"

The sixteenth elder brother turned his head and looked at the person who came, quite surprised: "The fifteenth brother got up so early!"

He was wearing a royal blue crepe robe, and the fifteenth elder brother only felt that his hands were clammy and cold, and he couldn't help frowning: "How long have you been sitting?" In the end, it was by the water, and the humidity was so strong that it hurt the body carefully.

The sixteenth elder brother got up with a smile and said, "I got up earlier today, so I'll go here if I have nothing to do." The morning scene by the sea is also unique. ”

The fifteenth elder brother sat on the wooden bench in the pavilion, snorted coldly, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't laugh." Our compatriots and brothers, in front of me, are you still pretending, are you tired? ”

The sixteenth elder brother's smile froze, he sat down with a wooden expression, and muttered, "Brother is fine, I'm just worried about Fujin's side." Over the years, three sons-in-law have been folded in a row, which woman can stand it. ”

When the fifteenth elder brother saw his dejected appearance, he felt sorry for him in his heart, and persuaded him: "My brother and sister are still young, and you have added a new sixth elder brother, so you still want to open some." Don't talk about the common people, let's talk about the royal brothers, who hasn't died in the house with little brother and little Gege? ”

"Hongyan is three years old...... I can call Amma, I can call Eniang, I will coax people......" The sixteenth elder brother bowed his head and said.

The fifteenth elder brother was sad to hear it, so he heard the sixteenth elder brother continue: "If only the eldest elder brother was still alive, even if her second son and third son died early, thinking about the eldest son, she would be able to feel a little less pain......"

When the fifteenth elder brother heard this, he was a little impatient, and said, "You are a smart one, why are you still drilling the tip of the horns, like a girl, greasy and crooked?" If you feel sorry for Fujin, you don't care about Hongpu? Haven't you always favored the Li family, and you have always favored Hongpu the most? ”

Although he sympathized with his brother's pain of losing his son, he did not have a good impression of the Sixteen Fujin.

Sixteen Fujin is the niece of Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi was favored in her early years, and she was dominating in the harem, and she was generally in the limelight, even Concubine De had to retreat. Now even if she is old, Concubine Yi is also in charge of palace affairs, and she only looks at Kangxi's face in the harem, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.

The second half of the fifteenth elder brother's words were not explicitly stated, but the meaning was clear. If there is a son-in-law, then Hongpu's position will be embarrassing.

This was said so heartwarmingly, and the sixteenth elder brother's heart trembled.

Could it be that because he really loves Hongpu, he doesn't want to see his son-in-law? No, no.

Even if he loves Hongpu, it is because the eldest brother died when he was born, and Hongpu is actually his first child, so he regards it as a treasure.

Even so, in his heart, he also remembered that there was a difference between his grandmother and his wife. The eldest son and the third son of the grandson all died young, and in his heart, he cherished the five sons of the grandson.

Xu is because of the early death of the previous two sisters-in-law, so that the sixteenth Fujin is like an eyeball for this little brother-in-law, and he can't wait for twelve hours, but he still can't resist fate.

Fate? God's arrangement?

The sixteenth elder brother rubbed his face with both hands, and suddenly remembered the words of the fifteenth elder brother who had just mentioned that he "loves Hongpu the most".

He slowly lowered his hand, thinking of the Li family, who had treated him more and more respectfully in the past few years. Unconsciously, there is no longer the surname Ren when he was young, and he is already a mature prince's side room.

She has always been gentle, and she is even more humble and polite to Chang Fujin.

Although the sixteenth elder brother and the sixteenth Fujin are compatible, they have not forgotten their old love, otherwise they would not be the only ones who have taken turns to give birth to the Li family.

Over the years, as the sixteenth elder brother and the sixteenth Fujin have become more and more affectionate, the Li family has become more and more polite, even the Yi concubine, who loves to be picky, can't find fault with her.

I don't know when, the Li family has become accustomed to standing in the middle of the concubines, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Why, thinking about this, makes people feel cold all over the body.

The sixteenth elder brother put down his hand, his face was pale, and he remembered the clues mentioned by Zhao Feng after the death of his third son. At that time, he thought it was just a misunderstanding, and he was afraid that others would suspect the Li family, and he was afraid that Guo Luo Luo would have a dislike in his heart, so he suppressed it.

It's true...... Was it just a misunderstanding...... The sixteenth elder brother was still depressed, and he saw someone come forward, and it was a close attendant of the fifteenth elder brother.

The fifteenth elder brother got up and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "It's not early, I still have to go to the emperor to order in front of the emperor, and the sixteenth brother will also go back to change clothes." ”

Brother Sixteen nodded and stood up. The two brothers turned their backs to each other.

At the beginning of the morning (seven o'clock in the morning), several princes, scholars, scholars, and squires from Hurehe gathered in front of the palace.

What is the military situation in the northwest, what is the Ministry of Engineering, and the White Lotus Sect in Henan and Shandong, the sixteenth elder brother stood behind several older elder brothers with his head down and listened, but his body was cold and hot, and his eyes were black for a while.

He told the fifteenth elder brother that he had arrived at Haizi this morning, but in fact, he tossed and turned last night, did not fall asleep, paced out in the middle of the night, and sat by Haizi for half a night.

After eating the cold wind, his body was a little unbearable, but he still barely listened.

Fortunately, the discussion did not last long, but for most of the hour, Kangxi waved them to kneel in peace.

The sixteenth elder brother knelt down, and when he got up again, his body was unstable, but fortunately, the ninth elder brother got up and turned around, and when he saw a handful of support, he did not fall.

The sixteenth elder brother himself didn't know why, he looked up, and wanted to find the figure of the fifteenth elder brother, but he saw the fifteenth elder brother striding away with the third elder brother, and he didn't look at them.

Brother Nine had already frowned and asked, "Little Sixteen, what's wrong?" The face is flushed, like a steamed one? ”

The seventh elder brother and the tenth elder brother saw that the sixteenth elder brother was wrong, so they also slowed down and walked up to him.

The seventh elder brother had already reached out, touched the forehead of the sixteenth elder brother, and said, "It's hot, the sixteenth brother is burning......

Before the sixteenth elder brother could speak, the tenth elder brother had already said in a loud voice: "Is it to break the elder brother, or do you want to open the ......?"

Halfway through his speech, he saw Brother Jiu glaring at him, and swallowed the rest of the words back into his mouth, regretting in his heart that he should not open which pot should not be opened.

The seventh elder brother, who was old in the end, gently patted the sixteenth elder brother on the shoulder to show comfort.

Looking at the brothers in front of him, looking at himself with concern, there was no ordinary calculation in his eyes, the sixteenth elder brother couldn't say anything, he only felt a sour nose, and almost shed tears......* Coming down from the palace, the third elder brother couldn't hide it anymore, and said with hatred in his mouth: "The fourteenth really thinks that he is the king, it is really too deceitful!"

The fifteenth elder brother followed beside him, pondered for a moment, and said, "It may not be all because of the fourteenth brother. Seltu was originally a man of the starling, but later he fell to the side of the third brother, and the ninth and tenth brothers did not want to see him. ”

It turned out that when discussing politics early this morning, it was mentioned that the fourteenth elder brother impeached Sertu and others in front of the army for deducting military rations.

Speaking of this impeachment, it is already an old thing.

After the fourteenth elder brother arrived in the northwest, he impeached Sertu, the official who was in charge of the logistics supply in Xining. The charge is "dishonest work, arbitrary delay and prevarication", and he also deducted two taels of silver, and he was harsh on the Green Banner soldiers, and he should be strictly interrogated, and the reversor should take over his errand.

When he first arrived in the northwest, it was the time of Liwei, and Kangxi's side would not refute his face, and everything would be played accurately.

After several months of "strict trial", the charges were confirmed, and in accordance with the law of the erroneous military machine, he was beheaded, and the Ministry of Liberation was executed after the autumn. Fortunately, Kangxi was only half accurate, and he had no intention of dying, so he ordered Sertu to be locked up in Xining and sent in a difficult place.

can atone for the sins, and it can be regarded as leaving some vitality.

Thinking about it, Seltu is the cousin of Bafujin, the grandson of Wang Yuele of Lao'an County, with the surname of Aixin Jueluo, as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, he can't lose his head.

It's just that the fourteenth elder brother took a seltu, isn't he afraid of offending the Anjun Palace?

"Is it the old fourteen calculating Seltu, or is the emperor Ama pushing the boat ......" The third elder brother turned around, stared at the fifteenth elder brother, and asked with a little frustration.

The fifteenth elder brother was dumbfounded, and said for a while: "How could the third brother think this?" ”

The third elder brother smiled bitterly, looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and said in a low voice: "Didn't the eldest elder brother, the second elder brother, and the eighth elder brother later use this method?" Cutting its wings, the most can't flutter, it's a circle...... Still is...... It all depends on the heart of the emperor Amma......"

After the eldest brother and the second elder brother lost power, the third elder brother relied on himself to be the eldest of the princes, and he has always been eyeing the storage position and is very confident.

Today, it has become like this.

Even the seventeenth elder brother was also a little uncomfortable, and said: "The third brother should not think too much, among the sons of Huang Amma, who can compare to the third brother......"

This kind of flattery, the third elder brother of Pingsu likes to listen to it very much, but now his body is trembling, and he said in a low voice: "So that's the case, no one can compare to me?" The fourth is the smart ......"

*Compared with the oppressive atmosphere of Rehe Summer Resort, Changping Caojia Zhuangzi is much more lively.

Today is Cao Hao's birthday.

Even in filial piety, it is not easy to do it in a big way, but Li and Chu Yu have already ordered the kitchen to prepare a table.

The seventeenth elder brother lived close to the seventeenth Fujin, and arrived at the beginning of the year (nine o'clock in the morning).

Cao Yi's side waited until dawn to open the city gate and go out of the city, and arrived at two o'clock (half past ten in the morning), and it was Seshtu who came with him.

On the side of Pingjun Wangfu, although Cao Jia's family is not cheap to go out of the house, but a few days in advance, he sent a birthday gift, and now he is saying that he is a child, and he sent the big housekeeper of the palace to send the fourth elder brother Fuxiu Tongtianhui to come over to Cao Hao to pay homage to him.

On the side of the Cao family's East Mansion, the brothers Cao Xiang and Cao Fu came. The female dependents who accompanied him were only Su Xin. Jinghui wants to take care of the children, and Chunhua hears that her body is not comfortable.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the Cao family, the seventeenth elder brother didn't want to disturb his family's reunion, so after lunch, he took Fujin back.

Cao Xiang only asked for a leave of absence in the yamen, and wanted to rush back to the city, accompanied Cao Hao to talk for a while, and also left with his long entourage. On Fuxiu's side, he couldn't stay overnight, so he returned to the city with Cao Xiang, while Tianhui was left on Zhuangzi's side to reunite with his family.

Cao Hao changed into new clothes and felt a lot more refreshed.

After sending away the seventeenth elder brother and them, he took Seshtu and Cao Fu to visit the garden, and talked about this interesting story of the mountain residence, which attracted the envy of the two.

Cao Fu was beside him, he couldn't help it, and said, "Big brother, why don't you let your younger brother come to live for a few months?" Most of the official schools are mixed, and there is a miasma of smoke in the whole day, so it is better to study at home to be cleaner. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he didn't object, but said to Cao Fu with a smile: "Fifth brother can think about it." The mountain dwelling is clean, and if you live here, you will lose the prosperity of the capital. Don't you love to be hilarious? ”

Cao Fu shook his head and bowed his head and replied: "Since my uncle turned over, my younger brother has broken off contact with the few friends he made in the past. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little stunned, and said for a while: "Make friends, it's just idealistic, don't care about those false names." I've seen a few of your friends, too. There are two stubborn ones, but there is no great evil, and there is nothing in the way of intercourse. Even in my early years, I was young and frivolous, and now I have grown up honestly? ”

Cao Fu raised his head, with a bit of determination on his face, and said, "My brother has figured it out, people live for a lifetime, who can do what they want?" As the son of the Cao family, even if he can't add glory to the Cao family, he shouldn't discredit the Cao family. Even if the younger brother is mediocre, he doesn't want his uncle to worry about his nephews in the underground. ”

This is a family matter of the Cao family, Seshtu couldn't interject, just watched from the wall, but secretly wondered in his heart.

The little five of the Cao family thought that he was a teenager who didn't know anything about the world, but he didn't expect that he would also transform into such a sensible appearance now.

Everyone is changing, I don't know what Cao Song in the Northwest Army is like now.

The topic was a bit heavy, and Cao Hao didn't want Cao Fu to be too extreme, and he didn't agree with his decision. However, seeing his resolute appearance, he knew that he could not listen to anything else, so he said: "You must know that what your uncle wants is not for you to become famous, as long as you are safe and happy." If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, whether it's schoolwork or communication, take your time. ”

Cao Fu's side, after listening to Cao Hao's words, his expression eased slightly, and he nodded vigorously......* Cao Yi, Su Xin, Han Jiang and others, after lunch, were in the Li family's room, talking together.

Since the Li family went out of the city, it was the first time that so many juniors gathered in front of him, and he was also happy in his heart. Zhao Jia's eyes looked at Cao Yi without a match.

Looking at Cao Yi coaxing the Li family to speak, and the mother and daughter were happy to see each other, Zhao Jia's family really couldn't look past it, so he excused himself to take a nap and retreated with the maid.

Chu Yu saw that she was uncomfortable, but he didn't keep her.

Cao Yi here, just got up with Chu Yu, and it was regarded as sending Zhaojia out. Looking at Zhao Jia's back, her expression was faint, and she couldn't see the meaning of closeness.

At this time, Li remembered one thing and said to Chu Yu: "It's time for a nap, your sister and fifth brother and sister have been tossing all morning, and they are tired of thinking, you take them down to rest first." Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Yi and said, "The three girls stay, I have two words to say to you." ”

Chu Yu responded and went down with Han Jiang's Tongsu core.

Cao Yi had already sat on the edge of the kang, turned sideways, pinched Li's shoulder, and said, "Listen to my sister-in-law, my mother got up early today, and she is tired of thinking about it, or is it crooked?" ”

Li Shi took Cao Yi's hand, looked at her face distressedly, and said, "Look at you, you have lost a lot, even if you want to be strong, you have to take it easy." If you are tired, there is a time when you regret it. ”

Cao Yi had already helped Li's arm, snuggled into Li's arms, and said, "Mother rest assured, her daughter is a long-lived life." ”

Seeing her coquettish, Li touched her hair, and said with a smile: "How old are you, and you still love to be coquettish?" It's all the wife of the in-laws, you, who have been someone's daughter-in-law for many years, and you are still like a little daughter. ”

"It's my daughter's good life, my mother loved me before I got married, and I met a good mother-in-law after I got married." Cao Yi said with a smile.

Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Second wife, she is your mother-in-law after all......"

Cao Yi pouted slightly: "Mother doesn't want a daughter anymore......"

"Silly boy, you will always be my daughter. It's just that when you were a parent, your relationship with the second room was not hidden from your in-laws' wife and aunt. No matter what grievances you had back then, you are a junior, and you can only back a few points. Otherwise, if the relationship is stiffened, wouldn't it be a notoriety of unfilial piety? Li said with some concern.

Cao Yi lowered her head and said softly: "Mother don't worry, don't say that your mother-in-law won't talk about her daughter like this, even if others say that her daughter is 'unfilial', her mother-in-law will not follow her." What kind of kindness, resentment, my daughter is too lazy to think about it. My daughter only remembers that my mother loves me, what do others say, and what do I do to my daughter? ”

Li knew that she was the surname of Outer Rou and Inner Gang, and when he saw that the words had come to this point, he stopped being verbose, just rubbed her hair, sighed, and said, "Even if you don't want to, I won't say anything anymore, I just hope that you are well." ”

Cao Yi took Li's hand, put it on his face, and said, "My daughter knows." The daughter's heart is sour, and now that the mother has added a daughter, she will hurt her daughter a little less in the future. ”

One sentence caused Li to laugh and say: "When I was a child, I didn't see you top-notch, but now I know that you are top-notch......"

Cao Yi said with a smile: "I just found out today that not only my mother is good, but my sister is also good. I'm so old, seeing that my wife loves Wenqi, I'm still jealous; When I went to my mother's side, my sister just followed me......"

"You three girls, you just have a hard mouth. also said that he ate Wenqi's vinegar, and when he saw her, he asked from beginning to end, for fear that she had been wronged a little bit......" Li said with a smile.

* In the front yard, Cao Hao led the two of them to walk around for a while, and Cao Fu went to look for the money master.

Although the two of them landed last time, they had a bit of friendship, Cao Fu admired his uncle Fangzheng since he was a child, and he was really willing to make friends with Qian Chenqun, who was quite an ancient gentleman.

On Cao Hao's side, he pulled Seshtu to play chess.

The minds of the two of them are not on the chessboard, and they gossip about one and the other.

On the side of Seshtu, because of the relationship between Nersu, he paid close attention to the Northwest Army. He mentioned a rumor in the capital that the fourteenth elder brother had gone to the northwest, and before he could fight, the forward troops were ambushed by the Junggers and suffered heavy losses.

When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little surprised, looked at Seshtu and said, "When did this start to come out?" ”

Seshtu thought for a moment and replied: "I had it at the beginning of the month, and it was still a lot of shadows at first, and then it was said that it had a nose and eyes." It is also said that the governor of Sichuan, Nian Qianyao, has made great contributions. ”

Cao Hao's side couldn't help frowning a little.

Nowadays, when fighting a war, the imperial court has set a schedule for sending troops, and the officers and soldiers on the front line can only obey orders. I haven't heard of the news of soldiers and horses going out to fight, how can there be rumors of defeat?

He was puzzled, and a housekeeper came in and said: "Uncle, the eldest aunt has come to celebrate his birthday and has entered the Zhuangzi ......."
