Although the fourth elder brother came to interrupt uninvited, Cao Hao and Chu Yu said goodbye to each other, and they had to go uneasy.

Chu Yu has the heart of flattery, Cao Hao Longma spirit, the bedroom is three times, and the dark fragrance is surging.

The clouds and rain dispersed, and Chu Yu fell asleep due to fatigue from the journey. Cao Hao was on one side, but he couldn't sleep.

Is it really Kangxi who refuted Chen? In that case, according to the relief model of previous years, the people of the northern provinces will be threatened by food shortages, and I don't know how many families will be separated from their wives and families.

Thinking of this, his face showed a bit of sarcasm.

The Eight Banners magnates, the most often on their lips are the "ancestral rules", the Manchu Dynasty civil and military thinking of "peace and prosperity" and "the dignity of the court", resting on their laurels, letting corrupt officials run rampant, and ruling the country to a thousand holes.

Thinking of this, he was conflicted in his heart.

Intellectually speaking, he is a little looking forward to the time passing quickly, Yongzheng said that he would ascend the throne early, and at that time he would also be able to show his strength like Yongzheng Dynasty and those famous ministers, and contribute to the country and the people's livelihood; Emotionally speaking, he knows the strangeness of his mother's life experience, knows Kangxi's kindness and protection for the Cao family, and hopes that he can live a long life and make his life stable for a few more years.

Or maybe it's a different location, different responsibilities.

In the past, he was mostly idle, and there was nothing to take on too much; Now he is a household servant who knows the people's livelihood and economy of this country.

He let out a long breath, slowly closed his eyes, and thought about what the fourth elder brother would say.

Just like him, the fourth elder brother is also full of expectations for that Tiao Chen, right?

groggy and groggy until the east became white, Cao Hao fell asleep.

When he got up at dawn, Cao Hao had dark circles under his eyes and looked lacking in energy.

Seeing this, Chu Yu thought that it was because there were too many things in the room last night, so he asked someone to boil ginseng porridge.

Cao Hao drank ginseng porridge, glanced at his wife a few times, and couldn't help but smile when he saw her little face flushed and her lips moist and moving.

Chu Yu saw her husband laughing inexplicably and asked, "What's wrong with the forehead?" ”

Cao Hao stirred the ginseng porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and asked in a low voice: "Mrs. nourished her husband early in the morning, is it too weak for her husband?" ”

After hearing this, Chu Yu understood that her husband was laughing at herself, glared at him with disgust, and did not speak.

I got up a little late this morning, Cao Hao looked up at the clock, it was already two o'clock in the morning (half past seven in the morning), so he didn't delay any longer, and went to the official office with two bowls of porridge.

When he arrived at the official office, Cao Hao looked at the fourth elder brother's house, wondering in his heart, I don't know how the fourth elder brother would say something to himself...... As for going to his own courtyard after getting drunk at dusk yesterday, with the temper of the fourth elder brother, he shouldn't mention it, and he can't pretend to have such a thing...... Cao Hao had already made a conscious decision that Chen Yuqian was also as calm as water, and was waiting for the fourth elder brother to summon him.

I didn't want to, I waited all morning, but no one came.

Cao Hao finished reading the official documents and the Di newspaper, and wrote the excerpts that he was going to perform in front of the emperor, and he didn't see any movement from the fourth elder brother.

Cao Hao waited impatiently, got up and went to the fourth elder brother's house, just in front of a pen post, and almost didn't bump into it.

Seeing that the pen was holding half a stack of official documents, in order to avoid his body stumbling and almost falling, Cao Hao hurriedly stretched out his hand to support it.

The pen stood still, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I have collided with my lord, please punish my lord." ”

Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "If I don't do your business, I'm in a hurry." Is the prince here? I have something to ask to see the prince, and I am tired of spreading the word. ”

The pen bowed down and said: "Back to the adult's words, the prince did not come to the yamen today, so he sent someone over and asked the humble official to sort out the official documents and send them to the palace garden." After packing up the humble duties, this will be sent to the prince. ”

After being "drunk", he also "skipped work"?

What happened yesterday in front of the emperor, could it be that the fourth elder brother was not only refuted, but also reprimanded? Otherwise, okay, how can you make this one?

Seeing that Cao Hao didn't speak, the pen lowered the volume and whispered: "I heard that the prince is sick." If Lord Cao is in a hurry to see the prince, if he can see the prince later, he will send a message to Lord Cao? ”

Cao Hao shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal left and right, since the prince is sick, the official will not disturb the prince's cultivation, and it will be the same after a few days." ”

The post style was just sold to Shangfeng, and when the meaning came, he said goodbye and sent the official document.

Xia said that the sky is long, and the government office has lunch here, and goes out to the restaurant more.

On Cao Hao's side, it was the food box sent by Chu Yu, and he pulled Jiang Jian to use it together.

Japonica rice, a few side dishes, and a mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

When Jiang Jian saw Cao Hao in the morning, he saw that he had a bad complexion and lack of sleep, and thought that it was caused by the overindulgence of their husband and wife when they reunited.

After seeing the side dishes sent at noon, ginseng white chopped chicken, green onion fried sea cucumber, crystal walnut kernels, braised prawns, although there is no realgar, bullwhip and other filth, but most of them are qi and aphrodisiac, he is even more determined, and can't help but smile at Cao Hao.

Cao Hao also reads through the materia medica, and when he looks at this dish, he naturally knows it.

Jiang Jian laughed so badly that Cao Haoyan didn't know what he meant by laughing.

It's just hard to explain, he can't say that he has insomnia for the fourth elder brother's visit.

He glanced at Jiang Jian and said, "Fei Fei returned to his hometown two years ago, didn't he get a family appointment?" Shouldn't you also marry early? Save Kerou Lao to teach some 'experience' to non-phosphorus. ”

Jiang Jian was drinking mung bean soup, and after eating Cao Hao's words, he almost choked.

Jiang Jian is already over the age of doubt, he has never married a wife, nor has he taken a concubine, and he has never cared about women.

This new master of Cao Mansion, although Zheng Xie is good at learning, his conduct is not as good as Qian Chen Qun's self-cleaning. He is a broken sleeve, although he has a wife, sons and daughters, but both men and women eat it, and he maintains "extraordinary" contacts with several fellow villagers.

Seeing that Jiang Jian had no wives and concubines, he only thought that Jiang Jian was a person in this way, and often went to his yard to share with him the fun of breaking his sleeves and splitting peaches, which annoyed Jiang Jian.

"She is still young, and she only reached the end of last year, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law are reluctant to marry her far away...... I want to stay for another two years......" Jiang Jian put down the porridge bowl and said.

"Just in time?" Cao Hao counted Jiang Jian's age, and said with a smile: "Fei Fei is forty-four this year, and he has a little daughter-in-law, which really fulfills that sentence, a pear flower presses a begonia!" ”

Jiang Jian wanted to laugh at him, but he laughed at him twice, and he didn't want to answer these words, so he had lunch silently.

mentioned Zheng Xie, Cao Hao was a little worried.

Although Zheng Xie did not bring those messy people into the house, and he also has a lot of experience in teaching, this behavior is "disorderly" and it is also taboo.

Fortunately for now, he is not named, and no one will pay attention to a Xixi.

When he became the meaning of "Yangzhou Eight Monsters" and became famous all over the world, others mentioned him, and then mentioned that he had taught several children of the Cao family, this is not just a matter of master and apprenticeship, boring villains may have some other nonsense.

When Cao Hao knew about Zheng Xie's "broken sleeves", it was already the beginning of this year.

In Cao Hao's heart, there is no regret. You shouldn't be superstitious about historical celebrities, and if you don't ask more, you will invite Zheng Xie into the house.

No wonder when I left the capital, I always felt in a hurry, as if I had forgotten something, I was busy with the injury of the seventh elder brother in May, and I forgot about Zheng Xie's stubble.

The disease of "broken sleeves" was nothing in the Qing Dynasty. Fujian and Zhejiang are the most popular, that is, when the power of Kali poured into the south of the Yangtze River, the Governor's Mansion raised a lot of young talents, named "staff", which is actually "internal favorites".

After a few hundred years, this is even more of a personal surname orientation, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere.

In Cao Hao's eyes, whether it is male style or beauty, it is all other people's private affairs, and he has no intention of interfering. Let's just say that in the capital, Yarjianga is a well-known "double plug", and no one dares to take advantage of it.

Understanding is understanding, but Cao Hao doesn't want his children to be affected in any way.

It's not about themselves, if God bless and Hengsheng jump out and say that they don't love women and men, Cao Hao will be dealt with by family law.

For other people, Cao Hao would have sent some gold and silver gifts out of the house a long time ago, but Zheng Xie and Cao Hao had the same friendship. Besides, he is a literati with good character, he doesn't make a living, and he drags his family with him, so it's not good to ask them to leave directly.

"Hey!" Cao Hao sighed, it really didn't work, so he donated a real shortage to Zheng Xie and sent him out of Beijing.

The Zheng Xie in history, known for Kangxi Xiucai, Yongzheng Juren, and Qianlong Jinshi, was born in his fifties as a county magistrate, and he was bumpy for half a lifetime, so he came up with the life perception of the four words "rare and confused".

Now Zheng Xie is less than thirty, although he can't be said to be in his prime, but he doesn't have the kind of Xiao Suo who sees through the world, and he hasn't developed those "weird surnames" yet.

supported him as much as he could, and it was also the fate of the two.

Thinking of the solution, Cao Hao breathed a sigh of relief, sandwiched a few pieces of white chopped chicken, and used the leftovers in the bowl.

Here, Xiao Man took down the food box, and saw the sixteenth elder brother wearing regular clothes and striding in.

"Have you seen the fourth brother? I just came from his house, why wasn't I? The sixteenth elder brother nodded to Jiang Jian, and then asked Cao Haodao.

"The prince didn't come at noon, I heard that he was sick." Cao Hao replied.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Is Fu Ruo empty?" ”

Looking at this, he had something to say, and felt that the official office was inconvenient, Cao Hao nodded and said, "It's empty." After speaking, the two of them left the official office and paced.

"What is the matter with the sixteenth master looking for the fourth master?" Cao Hao saw that there was no one in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "The fourth master handed over the sign yesterday, and there was something wrong after coming back, is there any change in the imperial front?" ”

"I can't say anything about the change, but in front of the big guys, I was eaten by Huang Ama for a few words." The sixteenth elder brother said sullenly.

"Just for that almsgiving?" Although it was expected, but at this moment, Cao Hao was still uncomfortable: "If there is something inappropriate, then discuss it, you can't reprimand the fourth master for this, right?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother lowered his voice and said: "This is also a matter of no way, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang said a few days ago that there was an excerpt coming up, and Zhu Yigui of Taiwan rebelled and killed all the soldiers who went to hunt for thieves." Fujian has the largest number of remnants of the previous dynasty, and it has never been peaceful, but now it is only Taiwan and Penghu that are in turmoil, and we must also guard against Fujian. The confrontation in the south is precisely when people's hearts are in turmoil, and the north must not be chaotic. Although the fourth brother's relief is good, it is not suitable for use at this time. ”

"Rebellion?" Cao Hao was stunned, he really didn't expect such a play.

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty ruled a huge base of Han people with a small number of banner people, and this country has always been unsteady, and the most taboo thing in the imperial court is civil unrest.

Now that the war in the northwest has not been settled, if there is chaos in the southeast again, it will really be enough for Kangxi to drink a pot......
