On this night, several houses were not peaceful.

Seeing off the guests, the prosperity came to an end, Li Si'er did not have the cheerfulness of raising his eyebrows in his heart, only full of shame. What annoyed her the most in her heart was not Li's refusal of relatives, but her daughter's small surname, which made her faceless.

Therefore, when she sent away the female relatives who were guests, she sent the ** and maids who were waiting beside her daughter to be passed on.

"Girl, you won't persuade some? Or do you deliberately turn our mother and daughter against each other, so that we can hold the girl hostage and be at your mercy? Li Si'er raised his eyebrows, looked at the kneeling woman on the ground viciously, and scolded.

The woman did not dare to argue, but kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Her surname is Qin, she is in her forties, she is Yumin's **, and Li Si'er has long looked at her unpleasantly. It's just that this Mama Qin is honest and careful, and she can't find the slightest mistake, and the man was on an errand by the old lady's side earlier, so Li Si'er is not easy to attack.

Now that the old lady is gone, and she has this opportunity again, how can Li Si'er let it go?

"Now that my sister is older, I don't need to wait in the house for a long time, how can you still chew your tongue by your side? Here, hit twenty boards, and get out of the house! Li Si'er was angry nowhere, and said to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law who was standing beside her.

The daughter-in-law answered, called two sturdy servants, and dragged Mama Qin aside.

Mama Qin saw Li Si'er's cruel eyes, and her heart was excited, knowing that she couldn't be good, but she didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, let alone talk about Yumin, for fear of arousing Li Si'er's murderous surname.

Li Si'er saw that she was stupid and couldn't speak, so she snorted coldly, and looked at the two kneeling maids again.

One of these two maids has a long face, smoky willow eyebrows, and looks steady and docile; A round face, fair skin, and a carmine mole the size of a grain of millet on the lips, adding a bit of pretty.

The two of them are the big girls next to Yumin, and they have been waiting for Yumin for many years.

In the morning, when the girls were dressed in plain clothes, they knew that it was not good. Unexpectedly, this time Mrs. was ruthless, and even Mama Qin was beaten by the board, not to mention that they were girls.

Nearby, there was already the sound of slapping boards.

Mama Qin didn't dare to shout, but the muffled snort from the pain was even more terrifying.

"Who holds the girl's clothes?" Li Si'er slowly picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked.

The round-faced maid turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Back to Mrs....... It's a slave...... It was the slave who held the girl's clothes......"

didn't wait for Li Si'er to have a seizure, but he heard a maid outside: "Madam, the girl is here......

Before the words fell, I saw someone pick a curtain and come in, dressed in blue, still dressed in Baiyue, not someone else, it was Li Si'er's biological daughter Yumin.

She first glanced at Mama Qin, who was pushed to the ground and hit more than ten boards, and then looked at the two maids who were kneeling, and then raised her head to look at Li Si'er, her little face was tense, and said, "I don't know what rules Mama Qin broke to make you annoy her?" According to the rules, you take care of the housework, and there is no room for your daughter to speak, but she is nursing her daughter in the end, and she has a grace with her daughter. Please also show mercy to your subordinates and leave some dignity for your daughter. ”

Although it was a plea, but it was hard to say it, Li Si'er became more and more angry when he listened.

In addition, this "rule" came, and the "rule" went, poking Li Sier's jumping foot.

"Since the girl knows the rules, what more can she say? I heard that the girl is copying the "Dizang Sutra", and the girl is very filial, not only to be filial to the dead mother, but also to the living nurse! Li Si'er laughed angrily, gritted his back molars, and shouted, "Where did you leave me?" Or do you feel noble and forget that you were originally raised by a little wife? ”

In the end, she couldn't tolerate the Hesheri clan, who had already lost power, and sought to seize the position of this wife, all for the future of a pair of children. Among them, for daughters who are not outstanding, they prefer a few points.

Unexpectedly, her daughter was completely alienated from her and not close to her.

When Yu Min heard this, her little face turned red, and she said for a while: "Don't worry, my daughter has never forgotten her identity...... It's just that the identity is like this, and I don't dare to mess with the rules and shame my relatives......"

*Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Cao Hao came back at night, a little drunk. Chu Yu served him to change his clothes and prepared people to understand the wine and soup.

"Seeing that it is the end of the year, the capital is not peaceful, and from Ming'er, Cao Yuan is called to restrain his subordinates and behave in a bad manner, whether it is in the house or outside the house. If there is disobedience and trouble, it will be directly sent to the government for legal action, and it cannot be tolerated. Cao Hao rubbed his temples, squinted his eyes and said, "There is Dongfu, Ming said that I will talk to the fifth brother." When you see your second brother and sister, you will also let me know. I still have to go to Nanyuan, and I will go to the siege on the eighth day. The Mongolian prince left Beijing on the eleventh day, and he had to delay there for a few days. ”

Roncodo's abnormality made him wake up.

He has no intention of coveting the merits of supporting the establishment, and he does not want to be implicated and questioned.

At the time of the change of the throne, it was the time when the power was overturned, if he became unlucky, who would he reason with?

Seeing that he said solemnly, Chu Yu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Is it ...... What's the news in the palace? ”

It is no secret that Kangxi has been in poor health for the past two years.

Cao Hao nodded and said softly: "To say something disrespectful, this year is not easy." ”

"Huh?" Chu Yu let out a voice in surprise, stroked his chest, calmed down for a while, and said in Cao Hao's ear: "E, what should we do?" Do you want to go back to the palace to discuss with Amma? ”

Cao Hao held her hand and said, "It's not good to act rashly, and if you fall into the deeds, you will add to the sin." My father-in-law has never participated in the battle for the storage position, and even if there is a storm, it will not affect him, so don't worry. ”

After listening to Cao Hao's comfort, Chu Yu felt a little relieved, but when she thought of Mrs. Tong Fuxin, she couldn't make up her mind, so she asked, "E, if it is...... At that time, is the Admiral of the Nine Gates of Long Keduo still stable? ”

The Admiral of the Nine Gates is in charge of the Gyeonggi Suwei, a high and powerful position, not a confidant of the emperor, and is not enough to take on this position.

Cao Hao sank for a moment, but still told the truth, and said: "Long Keduo's development is just around the corner, and it may be a few more years." His stepwife, even if she is unbearable, although she can't do family affairs, she shouldn't tear her face easily. ”

Chu Yu sighed and said, "I know." I have prepared a generous gift, and I will send it over, and I will always complete this matter. ”

Seeing that she was worried and hurried, Cao Hao was a little unbearable, and said, "Okay, just get by on the face, you don't have to worry too much." We don't seek to soar, we only seek peace, which is not greedy. ”

After a few words, the husband and wife settled their own ...... The next time, after breakfast, Cao Hao did not leave the house in a hurry, but asked Cao Fu to come and explain the words of the restraints.

Cao Fu studied in the Hanlin Academy for a year and a half, and he was not infected with the sour and rotten gas, and his mind was still so active.

Listening to his cousin's instructions, of course he wouldn't think that Cao Fu's cautious words and deeds were because of timidity, and he thought that his cousin was promoted to a waiter at a young age and was jealous.

He has been in the capital for many years, and he has also heard about the officialdom.

Turning over the clouds and raining the hands can't be wrong.

Cao Hao has always been clean, even if others are staring at him, it is difficult to find anything wrong. The easiest thing to catch is that the subordinate makes a mistake, and a hat that is not strict in governing the family will fall on him.

Cao Yin was impeached and removed from office during his lifetime, which is also a crime of "not governing the family strictly". The lessons of the past are vivid, how can people take them lightly?

Therefore, Cao Fu happily agreed, and some blamed himself for not thinking of this.

Before Hengsheng, he said that he returned home with Cao Hao, and when he saw these two spirited Hai Dongqing, everyone couldn't put it down. Among them, especially the number of Niu Niu is the most happy.

"When the time, we can also go out hunting." Niuniu said with feeling: "It's still at ease in Changping Zhuangzi, and it can always make people breathe." ”

In the past two years, she began to learn female red needlework, and she did not study with her master anymore, but her love of movement in her bones has not diminished.

When Hengsheng saw her like this, he was afraid that she would not be happy and suffocated, so he promised to wait until the end of the hunt to raise his Haidongqing to Niuniu, so he coaxed her to show her face.

Early this morning, Niu Niu also followed God to see off a few of them, but her eyes were glued to Hang Sheng's Hai Dongqing.

"Auntie, I'll send it back when it's over." Hang Seng said.

Niuniu nodded vigorously, her face was full of joy, and said, "Look at the two of them are so majestic, they must be able to show their might." Speaking of this, his eyes fell on Hengsheng, and he slowly retracted his smile and said, "The royal hunting expedition is very large. When the time comes, people will neigh and be messy, you also have to pay attention to yourself, don't let your brother and sister-in-law worry about it. ”

Although he is only two years older than Hang Seng, he is in a seniority, and Niuniu's advice is justified.

Hengsheng lowered his hand and listened, and answered honestly: "My aunt commanded, and my nephew wrote it down." ”

Looking at their little adults' answers, Li and Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Niuniu will be thirteen years old, and there are two years left before Jilu, and when their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk about it, they can only sigh. If Niuniu is the daughter of the Cao family, everything is cheaper.

The hour was not early, Cao Hao and Hengsheng father and son, so they said goodbye to everyone and went out of the house to Nanyuan.

The father and son, when they arrived at the Nanyuan paddock, it was already the middle of the day.

sent Hengsheng to the vicinity of the imperial tent, and watched his son go, before Cao Hao turned back to his own tent.

Today it is said to be a shift in the Ministry of Rites, and it is said to be a shift in the household department today.

Cao Hao sat behind the bookcase and wrote an abridgement of the important things that he said he was going to perform.

Different rhetoric has the same purpose, that is, to get silver. There was a great drought in the northwest, floods in the south of the Yangtze River, ground movements in the southwest, and pacification of Taiwan in the southeast.

To provide relief to the victims, to repair canals, to transport ships for maintenance, and to repair the Jingcang of the household department, without exception all of them require silver.

In addition, next year is Kangxi's seventieth birthday, and he keeps saying that he will not do much, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites are preparing for Kangxi's fifty-second year and his sixtieth birthday. This is another sum of silver, although this silver may not be spent, but now the household department must begin to prepare.

Now that the tax and silver of various provinces have arrived in Beijing one after another, everyone is full of strength and is worried about this silver.

Not long before the Khalkha kings left Beijing, Cao Hao remembered what the seventeenth elder brother said. No matter what others do, the seventeenth elder brother is doing this favor, but Cao Hao has to help.

The two old Shangshu are very polite to themselves, and this face should not be refuted. It's just that the two of them are not in Nanyuan now, and if they want to take care of this matter, they have to go back to the yamen.

I came out in a hurry this morning, and I forgot about this stubble, so I could only wait for the little dynasty to talk about it later...... * tears,
