Chapter 400: Heart-to-Heart
Last year, the Wujin warrior of Enke, after walking with the flag for a few months, filled the vacancy in early March. Yongqing made up a foreign military attache from the sixth grade, and will enter Shaanxi as the general manager of Wei Qian.
Since the addition of a son, Yongqing has been a little homesick, thinking that if it is not in Zhili or a nearby province, he will take his family there. However, I didn't expect it to be made up to Shaanxi. This is far away, and the child is small, so he doesn't dare to toss, so he can only extinguish his previous thoughts.
After a little melancholy, Yongqing was still very satisfied with this shortcoming. In the past few months, he has talked with Cao Hao and Cao Hao several times about going out to fill the vacancies, and in recent years, there have been few fights in the Quartet.
Although there are pirates every year in the coastal generation, they are nothing more than petty fights. Besides, he is a child of the Eight Banners, and he is good at riding and archery, but he is just a waste when he arrives on the ship.
Yongqing originally wanted to go to the southwest, the southwest is remote, the people are strong, and the opportunity to climb up is faster.
"There are many wars in the northwest", this is what Cao Hao and Yongqing mentioned in their speech. If you want to seek military merits, you should go to the northwest the fastest.
Although there is a fuss center in the southwest, there are often troubles, but in the final analysis, it is just a problem of moss, and there is no big mess; The northwest is different, next to Mongolia, Qinghai, and Tibetan provinces, and the Mongols there are not willing to wait for her. Every few years, after a period of recuperation and recuperation, it will come out again to make a fuss.
After listening to Cao Hao's words, Yongqing realized that he was really short-sighted, and he also looked forward to making up for the northwest. Although he ran to the military headquarters twice, he didn't see any wind coming down, so he was a little resigned to fate.
Seeing that he was eager for fame, Cao Hao was a little uneasy, and said: "If Brother Shanyu just wants to be promoted quickly, how can the place be comparable to Jingli?" Shaanxi is far away from Beijing, and Brother Shanyu starts from a humble position, which is not easy to talk about! ”
Yongqing is high-spirited, although he wants to get ahead earlier, but he is impatient to use this old relationship with relatives and friends, and wants to rely on his military exploits to make a name for himself.
Cao Hao saw that he was so energetic, and he was happy for him.
Yongqing smiled on his face, but there was something he didn't mention to Cao Hao. That is, he was able to fill the vacancy this time, and he was able to make up for it smoothly in the northwest, which has the favor of the fourteenth elder brother.
It wasn't that he took the initiative to cling to it, but after getting a vacancy from the military department, he listened to the officer over there mention it.
March 12 is a good day, the wind is beautiful, and it is suitable for travel.
Yongqing set off with several military attaches who had been sent to the northwest, and Cao Hao and Yongsheng sent Yongqing outside the city. When Yongqing and them rode horses, they gradually disappeared from their field of vision, and Cao Hao and Yongsheng turned their horses and returned to the city.
Yongsheng's surname is much calmer, and he is not as cold as Cao Hao in the past, and he is a little grateful in his words.
"Rich and easy to wife, noble and easy to friend", the world is long-lasting, but Cao Hao can treat Yongqing as in the past, which is already commendable.
When they entered the city, because they both had posts hanging on their bodies, they left it and went to their respective yamen.
Riding on the horse, Cao Hao sighed heavily. There are only a few people who intersect left and right, and now Yongqing and Cheng Mengxing have left Beijing, and the sixteenth elder brother is limited by his identity, and the number of times he can see him is also limited.
After entering the yamen of Taifu Temple, Cao Hao felt that the atmosphere was a little gloomy.
There was a sneer on the corner of Wang Jingzeng's mouth, Yi Duli's face was as black as the bottom of a pot for years, and neither of them looked at each other, like two children.
Cao Hao was secretly amused in his heart, at this time, he paid attention to "joy and anger are invisible", especially officialdom, otherwise he would have a grudge if he couldn't keep it.
No matter what the impression of your boss, colleagues, and subordinates is, you still have to get by on this side. Otherwise, you will have to be paid attention to. If the position is high, it will be criticized as being above the top and looking down on people; If you have a low position, you will be scolded for not knowing the rules and not understanding the world.
This Wang Jingzeng and Yi Duli, one is the master of Hanlin from the bachelor's mansion, and the other is the son of the lord of the generation, and the cultivation of these two people has run into the belly of the dog?
But he didn't know the reason, and he couldn't interject, so he just didn't see it. When the two were not there, they asked Tang Zhiyu, and Cao Hao knew the reason.
It turned out that when Iduli came this morning, he had a piece of rouge paste around his neck. Everyone is a man, just forget it after seeing it, and know it in your heart. Wang Jing was a heavy salute and acted a little straightforwardly, and after seeing it, he snorted coldly.
Although Yiduli said that he was affected by his maternal grandfather Suo Etu, and the family was not as beautiful as in the past, he also had a bit of arrogance on his body, and it was not who said that he could shake his face.
Although Taifu Siqing and Taifu Temple Shaoqing are superiors and subordinates, there is only one level difference between their official positions, one from the third grade and the other from the fourth grade. Besides, Yiduli is still full of people, and his confidence is getting stronger and stronger, and he really doesn't take Wang Jingzeng too seriously.
This cold snort swept Yi Duli's face. Although he knew the reason and wiped the rouge off his neck, his face began to look ugly.
Speaking of which, the Wang family and the Yidu family also had some contacts in their early years. At that time, Wang Jing's great-grandfather Wang Xi and Yiduli's father Isan A were both university scholars, one was a scholar of the Bohol Temple and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the other was a scholar of the Wenhua Temple and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials.
The two scholars both died in the forty-second year of Kangxi, one was seventy-six and the other was sixty-six, one was nicknamed "Wenjing" and the other was nicknamed "Wenrui".
Although the two are different from each other, they have been ministers for many years, and they rarely have some personal contacts. Speaking of which, although Yi Duli is more than ten years younger than Wang Jingzeng, he is the generation of "Uncle Shi".
The Manchurians are the most important courtesy, Wang Jingzeng's eyes are above the top, and he does not put Yiduli in his eyes, and he has long forgotten the friendship between the two families in the past.
He put on the shelf of Shangguan, and he is still so yin and yang, how can Yi Duli not be annoyed?
Cao Hao listened to the reason before and after, and felt more and more bored, this is just a little bit of a trivial matter, is it worth these two like this?
Cao Hao was also wondering in his heart, why is this child from the Prime Minister's Mansion like this, does he not know his identity? You came down to be a servant of the temple, not a royal history. Even if Yidu Li is detrimental to the prestige of the official, it is also the business of the imperial historians, and it is not your turn to shake your face.
It's just that because of this interruption, Wang Jingzeng didn't pay as much attention to Cao Hao as before. Maybe he was staring at it for a few days and was tired of staring.
Although Cao Hao is lazy, he is also a little strong in his bones, and he has always been meticulous about business, and no one can find fault with him.
Yiduli is different, he is already a little arrogant, and with the recent joy of Naxing, it is not surprising that there are mistakes under carelessness.
After Wang Jingzeng noticed it, he became more and more concerned, thinking that he would always have to set up some leaders for Yidu. Whether it is said that he "knocks on the mountain and shakes the tiger", or "kills the chicken and the monkey", he always wants to get out of this turbidity happily.
But he didn't want to think about it, which one made him angry? It's not that he didn't put it up himself, but he was angry in his heart.
Regarding Wang Jingzeng's small abacus and Yi Duli's annoyance, Cao Hao couldn't say anything, after all, they were all colleagues. He also learned Tang Zhiyu, what to do and what to do, the same as in the past.
Finally got out of the yamen at noon, Yi Duli came to Cao Hao and complained: "That sour Ding Wei is really an eyesore, who is this pretending to be an uncle?" If it weren't for the yamen, I really wanted to step forward and kick him twice to see if he still hummed! ”
Cao Hao shook his head and said disapprovingly: "No matter what Lord Wang is, your lordship should also be careful, he just snorted, if there is something wrong with letting Yu Shi catch him, then impeachment is indispensable." ”
Yi Duli nodded with a smile and said, "If Fu Ruo's intentions, I have taken it to heart, isn't it happy!" In the past few months, I have worked hard to get the beauty. Now, I realize that the previous 30 years were in vain! ”
When Cao Hao saw him talk about this, his face was full of light, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to laugh and laugh.
Cao Hao had already mentioned Yang Ruixue's affairs in the capital to Zheng Hu, and Zheng Hu had no likes or dislikes for this sister, and he had no intention of recognizing each other. However, he was relieved to hear that she had found someone else and had a place to stay.
*Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.
Chu Yu has been sleeping very hard recently due to her heavy body, and she often comes to sleep during the day. Hengsheng's night crying disease, but it was still not cured, I invited several old doctors, and also used a lot of folk prescriptions, but they were not used.
Seeing Chu Yu's hard work, Amethyst had already discussed with her whether to move Hengsheng to Kwai Courtyard.
Although there are five children living in the upper room of the Kwai Courtyard, the two children are still young, and when it is time to avoid it, Amethyst can also take care of it.
Chu Yuyuan was still a little reluctant, because he was close to his body, and he became lazy and weak, and some of them couldn't take care of Hengsheng. Therefore, when the old amethyst story was brought up again, she responded to the proposal to move Hengsheng to Kwai Yuan.
Kwai Yuan and Wutong Garden, one on the West Road and the other on the East Road, are separated by a distance. Every time Chu Yu goes over there twice, he only thinks that he is moving his muscles and bones.
Hengsheng has been more than six months, and he can already climb, "pedaling and pedaling", and his calves are particularly energetic. Put it on the kang and start climbing, and when you are tired of climbing, you sit down and look at people and laugh, which is very cute.
The fifth and fourth sisters seemed to have found something new, coaxing their little nephew to play, and they could also enjoy it for a long time.
Amethyst's surname is Aijing, Chu Yuyuan was afraid that Hengsheng would quarrel with her, thinking about whether to clean up a yard on the edge of Wutong Garden for Hengsheng. But seeing that Amethyst had a smile on her face, it was more fresh than before, so she stopped thinking about it.
Seeing that Amethyst likes children like this, Chu Yu was also very touched in her heart, and talked to Cao Hao in private, regretting that she didn't notice it earlier. Wait and see, let's see if Amethyst's heart can be loosened, as a woman, it is serious to marry and have children.
Although Amethyst looks like she is only twenty, she is seven years older than Cao Hao, and she is already twenty-eight this year, a real old girl.
Cao Hao and Chu Yu have persuaded her in the past two years, but she really has no intention of marrying, and said that when she is not needed in the house here, she will go back to the south house on an errand.
Since Amethyst said so, Cao Hao and Chu Yu couldn't say anything, so they could only let her.
This said, Chu Yu came back from the Kwai Courtyard, and he was a little tired, so he rested on the soft couch outside. In her daze, she only heard a child calling "Mother", accompanied by the child's crying.
Chu Yu only felt a pain like a pinprick in his heart, and he woke up from his dream all of a sudden.
She only felt sweaty, her whole body was already soaked in cold sweat, and she sat there, unable to wake up for a while.
Seeing this, Xiyun was startled, hurriedly threw a handkerchief up, waited for her to wipe her face, and asked with concern: "Gege, is this a nightmare?" Hurry up and change your clothes, it's not appropriate to catch a cold! ”
Chu Yu nodded and let Xiyun do it.
Xiyun wiped Chu Yu's face while calling Xicai and Xiyan to get clean clothes.
Chu Yu stroked his chest, touched his stomach again, raised his head, and looked out the window, his eyes full of anxiety. God bless, God bless...... It's not just Chu Yu who is uncomfortable, but also Cao Hao.
Outside the yamen of Taifu Temple, after Cao Hao finished talking to Yi Duli, he politely declined Yi Duli's invitation.
Yidu has won Yang Ruixue, a beautiful concubine, when the spring breeze is proud, and it is not good to publicize it, just like "brocade clothes at night", I can't wait to find someone to show off.
It is inconvenient for others, but Cao Hao is an informed, and he is a good object to show off, and he still does not cooperate, which makes Yi Duli regret a little.
Cao Hao is quite scruples and is unwilling to mix too much. When the first Iduli took a concubine, although he prepared a generous gift, he did not come forward.
Although Cao Hao didn't follow, thinking that Yang Ruixue was still waiting in the outer house, Yi Duli's body was also lighter, and the unhappiness of the morning was also left behind, and he went beautifully.
After saying goodbye to Yidu, Cao Hao went to the Li Mansion in Xizhimen. Li Xu's letter has arrived, asking the chief housekeeper to arrange for someone to send Li Ding's coffin back to Suzhou, and it is also about to leave in these two days.
It's just to ask some entourage, the coffin road is ready and so on, Cao Hao went to Li's house and went through the motions, then said goodbye and went home.
Although it is the next day, it is said that the head is right, but Cao Hao is a little wrong, he only feels that his left eye is beating non-stop, and his body is a little cold...... * Jiangning, Weaving Mansion, Kaiyang Courtyard.
Listening to Tianyou's heart-rending cry, Cao Yin let out a long sigh, opened a pair of old eyes, looked up at the sky outside, and prayed secretly: "Full of gods and Buddhas, ancestors and ancestors, please bless my grandson with a safe ......"
