Chu Yu took the order and said to Amethyst: "My sister drafted, and the designation is the same!" As he spoke, he read the list, handed it back to Amethyst, and said, "This is excellent, just prepare according to this list!" When the uncle comes back, if he wants to add something, he will add it again! ”

Amethyst took the order, took out another slightly thinner one, and handed it to Chu Yu: "Grandma, this is a gift from the uncle to the second elder brother in the palace a few days ago. Now these things, grandma looks at whether she wants to send someone to make up for them. ”

Chu Yu took the gift list, thinking about the two sisters Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

That night, Hongzhuo really made too much noise, and the mothers-in-law were afraid of taking responsibility, so they went to the courtyard of Fujin and Nala to report.

As a result, everyone was shocked, and even the seven elder brothers were so angry that they wanted to practice the family law against Hongzhuo. Hongzhuo Wu defended himself, and Nara also pleaded. The seventh elder brother didn't want to wronged him, so he asked his mother-in-law to tell him what happened.

When he knew that it was Qiao Rong who made foul words, the seventh elder brother's face turned green, and he stared at the Jin family sisters for a long time without speaking. Although he didn't hit the board, he also went to the front yard to live.

Qiaofu and Hongzhuo's wedding wine was gone, and Qiaorong also sent people out of Beijing.

Although it was chaotic for a while, it finally stopped. Chu Yu said a lot of words of relief in front of Chang Fujin. Even if she was not born in Fujin, but she has been raised for more than ten years, and the two mothers are not intimately separated in her heart. Even if you are blessed with Xiao Tianyou, you will also be filial to Fujin in the future.

Chang Fu Jin Xu is tired of these words, I don't know if I really want to open it, or if I want to open it, and I don't pay much attention to the things in the house. When she was awake, she mostly asked how Wugege's injuries were, and whether she had found good medicine. Knowing that Chu Yu had already helped find it, she closed her eyes and didn't pay attention to anything else.

When Nala asked Chu Yu about Xiyu, Chu Yu didn't think about anything else. Nala said that it was not easy to settle on her side, so she sent it back to the palace, and she just let a few girls out, and there was nothing to do.

Chu Yu had specially instructed herself to treat Xiyu well, and her mother was afraid that she would not be properly placed. However, the single release of Xiyu was too eye-catching, so she released Xiyu and Xixue out of the house.

It is not known how Xixue was placed, but the next time Xiyu became his father's room. Chu Yu was in the room of the Nara clan, and when he saw Xiyu who had curled up his hair, he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Although there has been a long time of open and secret fighting between several Fu Jin, Chu Yu only now knows the tragedy.

Although it was an elder's business, there was no room for her to speak, but she still couldn't say how uncomfortable it was. Seeing that Chang Fujin's illness was getting better, she packed up and went home...... Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Amethyst was a little worried, and asked, "Grandma, you don't look very good, are you tired these days?" Let's ask a doctor to come over! ”

Chu Yu rubbed his forehead and said, "It should be because I didn't sleep well last night, just lie down for a while!" Speaking of this, he paused and said, "There are a few things in this list, so let people go out and buy them, this list ...... Find some clothes and jewelry that don't look for eye-catching! ”

Amethyst responded with a smile, and originally wanted to ask if she wanted to pick a few more girls. On the side of Wutong Courtyard, the current big girl is happy with clouds, happy colors, happy smoke, and happy xia. However, when the words came to her lips, she still didn't ask. The personnel in this courtyard should be handled by the two of them on their own. Besides, there are also advantages of fewer people, and the naughty ones can be saved, so that everyone does not wait for Ansheng.

* Outside Changchun Garden, 800 tables have been set up, and they are all fanned with matcloths.

The people who were given the banquet were Han ministers, officials, scholars, etc., of whom were over 90 years old, and thirty-three people; those over eighty, five hundred and thirty-eight; those over seventy, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-three; 65 and above, 1,846. In all, 4,240 people were already standing by their positions.

only listened to the sound of Shao music, and Kangxi's dragon chariot arrived. Waiting for Kangxi to get out of the sedan chair and sit down, in addition to more than 500 people over 80 years old who bowed once, thousands of other old people knelt three times and bowed nine times in shifts, and entered the table at one time.

In the sound of music, I heard the deacon officials of the Ministry of Rites shouting in a loud voice: "Just sit down for tea!" ”

The old people trembled and sat into the table, and the banquet was divided into four, six, and eight seats because of the difference between the scholars. In front of each old man's seat, there is a jade cup with tea. After drinking the tea, these jade cups belong to the drinker, which is a reward from the emperor, and everyone has to kneel down and kowtow again to thank him.

Cao Hao followed Detehei and the others, standing behind the elder brother of the prince's grandson. When the dishes in front of Kangxi were ordered, the rest of the more than 800 tables were unveiled.

After a variety of tedious ceremonies, the royal banquet finally began.

The current university scholars Li Guangdi, Wang Luo, Song Ju, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Peng Huiqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Restoration and Production, and other first-class officials, together with the elderly over 90, went to the palace in turn to kowtow, congratulate Kangxi on his birthday, and at the same time accept the wine given by the emperor himself.

The elder brother of the clan and the guards who were originally standing behind Kangxi also came out, and the elder brother of the clan was here at the first-class table, giving respects and food to other princes and ministers and envoys; The guards were at the second-class table and toasted the ordinary officials and other old men.

The table that Cao Hao is in charge of is all famous, and they are all pampered, and they look healthy. At the two tables on the north side, there were ordinary old people, all trembling and leisurely, as if they were unstable.

Cao Hao carried the wine jug, filled everyone in the audience with wine, and toasted everyone. The wine glasses used by everyone are made of silver and printed with the "longevity" pattern. When they had finished drinking, everyone kicked their glasses into their sleeves. This is also a gift from the emperor, and everyone is bowing to thank you again.

began to have servants serving meals in boxes, and Cao Hao finished his errand and retreated. As soon as he walked a few steps, he saw an old man fall to the ground and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Perhaps because he had knelt down too much, the old man's face was covered with sweat, and he couldn't speak.

Cao Hao helped the old man to his seat and looked at the other old people at the same table, although they were all wearing new clothes, they were all panting.

The table had already been placed, and Cao Hao couldn't help but look at it curiously. In the middle are two copper hot pots, one contains pork slices, the other contains mutton slices, and there is a plate of mutton, a plate of roast meat, two side dishes in a screw box, a plate of steamed dumplings, a plate of roasted dumplings, and a plate of black, I don't know what it is. The staple food is shredded pork and hot rice.

Cao Hao looked at the old man in the seat, there were few good teeth, and he didn't know if the meat could be chewed.

Then, Cao Hao and the guards returned to the Kangxi throne to serve. After the banquet was over, the old people knelt and bowed three times, Kangxi returned to the palace in the sound of ritual music, and the guards dispersed.

They still have to be on duty in the afternoon, so Cao Hao made an appointment with him for a few days and then got together. Xiao Man, Wei Hei and others had already led their horses and waited outside the garden, and Cao Hao rode back to the city.

Because they were separated by the officers and soldiers of the escort barracks, Xiaoman and the others were far away, and they only heard the sound of drums, and did not see the big scene of thousands of people feasting and drinking. Therefore, everyone was very curious and asked about the grand occasion of the imperial banquet.

Cao Hao shook his head and said: "If the pomp and circumstance are not good, I will see thousands of people kneeling and kowtowing, even if there are no fifty, there are always thirty." Come to think of it, the dog skin plaster in the city is going to run out of stock today, and there are many old people who have flashed their waists! ”

Xiao Man asked about food again, it was not only a palace banquet, but it must be all delicacies from the mountains and seas, unusual things.

Cao Hao smiled and said, "Think beautifully!" When we go back, let the kitchen prepare a hot pot for you, in addition to pork and mutton, there are two more plates of green vegetables than those on the royal banquet! ”

Xiao Man just didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Uncle is blind, those people entered Beijing just to eat a hot pot?" If you go back and learn from others, you will be treated as a lie! ”

Cao Hao smiled and took out a small wine glass from his sleeve and threw it into Xiao Man's arms: "And this, I also got it during the banquet, if you want to be believed in the future, take this and say it!" ”

Xiaoman accepted it very happily, and thanked Cao Hao for his reward.

Zhang Yi smiled: "Monkey, you are generous, but it is cheaper for you!" Why, it has to weigh two taels of silver, right? ”

Xiao Man put his hand upside down, then carefully stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "Well, it is estimated that there are three taels!" ”

Wei Hei and Zhao Tong didn't care, only Zhang Yi was envious, and said to Cao Hao with a shy face: "Uncle, change your name to reward the younger one, right?" In the end, it is something that comes out of the palace, and it is good to show off with it! ”

Cao Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Later, there will be a banquet for the old man of the Eight Banners, if you can still get it, I will keep it for you!" ”

When Cao Hao returned to the mansion, Cao Yin had already waited.

Although Cao Hao was so hungry that he couldn't do it, when he saw his father's expression, he still patiently described the feast carefully.

Cao Yin was quite sorry not to be able to participate in this feast, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard his son say that it was so lively.

Cao Hao persuaded: "Father don't be sad, there will be a time to participate in the future." Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when the Lord of Long Live ascended the throne for 60 years, this old man's banquet will be set up again! ”

"The world is impermanent!" Cao Yin's face revealed a bit of loneliness. Kangxi is sixty years old, and among the emperors of the past dynasties, he is already a long-lived person, who will know where the sky will change.

"Father only needs to take care of his body, and in another eight years, it will not be too late for my father to come back to participate!" Cao Hao said with a smile.

Cao Yin raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little strange, staring at Cao Hao, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Cao Hao was furious by him, and then he realized that he seemed to have said something terrible just now.

Cao Yin pondered for a moment, looked at the door, and there was no one else, so he asked in a low voice: "Could it be that in the dream of Hao'er, long live the long life, and have already passed a jiazi?" ”

Cao Hao blinked, but his heart seemed to be turbulent, he thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.

Cao Yin stared at Cao Hao and asked, "In your dream, our family is in decline, what about your uncle's family?" ”

Is there any such thing as a god or a ghost in this world? Cao Hao's rebirth was a little unhappy with these denials. If Cao Yin knew all the truth, would he still value him as much as he did in the past?

Cao Hao will not challenge the bottom line of people's hearts, nor will he put his life in the hands of others, even if that person is the biological father of his body.

Since Cao Yin said "dream talk", Cao Hao also chose to "dream answer": "Uncle's family is even more miserable than ours." Because his uncle was on the wrong side in the succession, and there was a deficit in the household department, he was not allowed by the new emperor, and his house was soon raided! The family members and servants sold them on the spot in Suzhou, because the local people knew that they were flag people, so they did not dare to buy and sell. So much so that it was sold for a long time, but it was not sold, and it was later sent back to the capital as a servant of the new noble. ”

In the end, Cao Hao's mood also became heavy. Yesterday, Li Xu came over in person, saying that he had made a 26-day appointment with the Fucha family to see each other, and he had made an appointment with Cao Yin to go south.

In the eyes of everyone in the capital, the Cao family and the Li family are still inseparable; In the heart of that cold-faced elder brother, will the Cao family also be jealous?

He was thinking wildly when he heard Cao Yin say, "Your uncle...... How did your uncle ......?"

Cao Hao replied: "Exile Ningguta, freeze and starve to death......"

* Inside Andingmen, Prince Yong's Mansion, study.

The fourth elder brother sat on the bookcase, with a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads wrapped around his wrist. There were two other people in the room, namely his confidant Dai Jin and his early guard Fu Nai.

The fourth elder brother also just came back from Changchun Garden, thinking of the news he got recently, and asked Fu Nai: "I heard that Li Xu is very diligent in running to Cao's house, but Cao Yin is cautious, and he visits a few places, but he is just relatives and friends. According to you, will the Li family pull the strings and make the Cao family fall to that end? ”

Fu Nai's expression was a little complicated, and he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." Cao Dongting is a friend of the Long Live Lord, and he has always relied on the most Long Live Lord, and he can be regarded as a pure minister. ”

The fourth elder brother nodded, glanced at Dai Jin, and nodded.

Fu Nai was sighing in his heart, so he heard Dai Jin say with a smile: "Gefeng, you have grievances with the Cao family, and the prince and I know a little bit, but you still don't take advantage of it." It's better to settle the grievances than to settle them, aren't you getting along well with Cao Hao! I also went to see Cao Dongting these days, if I could get rid of old grudges, it would be a good thing. ”
