Chapter 188: The Wind Rises

Chu Yu was speechless for a while, she was brought up by Chang Fujin, and her relationship with her mother was also very close, but her biological mother was ...... In addition to the Nala clan, the Chunjun Wang's Shu Fujin Li and Ilgen Jue Luo also gave birth to a little brother, and his death was a few years later, and they never thought of a son when they were young. Presumably, he originally hoped that he would be able to give birth to a son-in-law, but now that he is old and has a weak relationship with his husband, King Chun Fujin will plan like this.

Chu Yu was a little embarrassed, she didn't know what to say, although she didn't like to think about those things that were competing for favor and fixing the position, but after all, she came out of such a palace, and she understood those things in her heart.

Chang Fujin recognized Hongjing under his name, if she gave birth to a son-in-law in the future, this child would naturally be nothing, if she had never had a son, then the sixth elder brother would not be considered a son-in-law, according to the tradition of the Manchurian son being valued by his mother, his status should be far above the eldest son Hongshu.

Hongshu was fifteen years old, and he thought that he would invite the prince of the world in three or two years at the latest. Although he is a concubine, those inside and outside the mansion have long treated him, the eldest son of King Chun, as a son. At present, King Chun Fujin recognizes the little brother, but Hongshu's situation is a little embarrassing.

Chu Yu wanted to comfort the Nala family, but he was also the elder over there, so he didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth, closed it again, and finally sat quietly with his mother.

Na Lashi looked at Chu Yu embarrassed, and couldn't help but feel sad, knowing that her married daughter was not easy to say, so she broke the dullness and said two more gossips, although she wanted to divert the topic, but she couldn't be happy.

After a while, Xiyun who came back came back, and the word was passed by the second door, and the seats in the front yard were dispersed, and the forehead asked Gege if he still wanted to stay for some time.

Chu Yu was not worried about the Nala clan, and was hesitating, but the Nala clan had already gotten up and instructed Xiyun: "Go and talk back, just say goodbye to Fujin and go out!" ”

Xiyun went down in response, and Nara reached out to help her tie Chu Yu's big red spring silk mink cloak, and said with a smile: "It's a mess today, and after a mess, E-Niang won't keep you more." If you're free, you'll come back! As he spoke, his eyes moistened a little.

Chu Yu shook Nala's hand tightly, and finally persuaded: "Eniang, don't worry too much, Ama has always loved Hongshu the most!" ”

Nara reluctantly smiled, nodded, and said in a low voice, "These Eniangs can be saved." You don't have to worry about our side, you have given birth to your son, you have a good life, and Eniang will be much more down-to-earth. Saying that, he pulled Chu Yu to the courtyard of Fujin first, and then sent her all the way to the second gate.

Chu Yu's heart is very heavy, whether it is his biological mother or his mother-in-law, it is not easy for both of them.

The Nala clan and the seventh elder brother were the earliest, but because their background was not noble enough, they only made a fujin, and later gave birth to the eldest daughter and the eldest son, and asked for the side fujin. Then, when Chang Fujin entered the door, just in time for the Nala clan to give birth to Hongshu, he lifted the side Fujin, and when the relationship with the seventh elder brother was the best, Chang Fujin was naturally snubbed.

At the beginning, Chang Fujin took the initiative to take Chu Yu with him, but also to find a step for himself and show favor to the seventh elder brother. Since then, although she has also given birth to two daughters, she is still quite sincere to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu didn't know this, but in her heart, she didn't particularly tend to be a biological mother or a grandmother, and the two mothers treated her very well, which was really a problem for her.

Cao Hao waited for Chu Yu to come out, and the husband and wife said goodbye to the seventh elder brother and the relatives who had not yet left, and then left the Chunjun Palace.

Although Chu Yu had a smile on his face, how could the melancholy hidden in his expression be hidden from Cao Hao?

After returning to Cao's Mansion and arriving at Wutong Garden, Cao Hao asked her: "What's the matter, they are not very comfortable looking at Hongshu, but Eniang's body is not happy?" The E-niang here is called Nalashi, and in private he is called so, distinguishing it from the "mother-in-law" of King Chun Fujin.

Chu Yu thought about the contradiction between her biological mother and her grandmother, and was very worried, so she talked about it.

Because Cao Hao, these male guests were in the front yard, and they looked at the little brother twice when they came out, and no one talked about these miscellaneous things, so they didn't know that King Chun Fujin wanted to recognize the matter of the next brother.

Although it was a matter from the palace, he shouldn't say anything, but in order to make Chu Yu feel at ease, he thought about it for a while, and said: "E-niang is also too worried, this is used as a 'sister-in-law', after all, it is not a son-in-law, and the matter of this title depends on the meaning of the father-in-law!" You don't have to worry about this, my father-in-law and my mother have always had a good relationship, and I will definitely explain it to her as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of the relationship between the palace, Cao Hao also had a headache. It stands to reason that this Fu Jin is a serious hostess, and the other side Fu Jin and Shu Fu Jin must retreat. The side Fujin Nara clan married the king of Chunjun at the earliest, and gave birth to five children in one go, and fell in love with the king of Chunjun for more than ten years. This Chang Fujin was the one who entered the door later, gave birth to two daughters, and died one young, and the king of Chunjun is really "respectful like a guest".

Chu Yu saw that Cao Hao had drunk wine and was a little tired, so he stopped talking to him about these troublesome things, called Xiyun and Zhu'er to come in with water, and waited for him to change his clothes and wash his hands and face.

* The next time, when Fang arrived at the household department, Cao Hao heard a news that the commander of the Nine Gates had been replaced. Tuo Heqi "begged for leave with illness", and ordered the first-class guards to walk Long Keduo to be the commander of the infantry army, which was "the commander of the five battalions of the Nine Gate Infantry Army".

The two powerful ministers of the Yongzheng Dynasty, Nian Qianyao, have been serving as governors in Sichuan, although they were impeached by the admiral for failing to suppress bandits a few months ago, there is still no danger. Because Sichuan is so far away from the capital, although he was dismissed before, he still stayed in office, and he was reinstated in a few months. Now, in later generations, Long Keduo, who became the help of Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, has become the commander of the Nine Gates in accordance with the development of history. Although he is currently "acting", with his qualifications, he should be able to make a formal appointment soon.

At the moment, is it necessary to trust Heqi, but in order to obey the king of the county to break into the city gate? Cao Hao remembered what the sixteenth elder brother said, the king of Shuncheng County went to Rehe in July to ask for guilt, and it was not the tenth elder brother who sued, but faintly pushed out Tuoheqi.

But after thinking about it again, he felt that it was not like that, and this time the Yamen of the Epidemic Infantry Army in the capital could be regarded as a great achievement. It is estimated that because Tuo Heqi has been in office as the governor of Jiumen for a long time, it is inevitable that he will have some contacts with the prince, which can be regarded as a taboo of Kangxi.

Next, there were frequent orders, and the deputies of several flags were all reversed. For those outside Beijing, it involves the governors of several provinces, some of which are limited to the investigation of local deficits, and some of which are "worried" and "suing the elderly", with a variety of names.

Cao Hao calculated, there are more than 70 days left before Kangxi 51 years, could it be that the abolition of the prince is a matter of the first month?

The king of Pingjun and the prince had a festival, and everyone was around; King Chunjun has always been low-key, and among the princes, he only has a better relationship with the twelfth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother; Jueluo Seshtu is now an inner class guard, so naturally he has nothing to do with the prince; Zhaojia Mansion is the wife of the thirteenth elder brother, the Wanyan family is the wife of the fourteenth elder brother, Ning Chun's father-in-law is the disciple of the eighth elder brother, and the Sun family enters Beijing...... Cao Hao counted these relatives and friends one by one, but none of them had anything to do with the unlucky prince, so he settled down. No matter how big the movement is, as long as it doesn't affect yourself, just stand by and watch the excitement.

Cao Hao is not short of money at the moment, and he doesn't attach as much importance to power as other officials, so he can naturally deal with it calmly, but how many people in the Manchu Dynasty have a surname like him?

Although everyone faintly noticed something, they all had no bottom in their hearts, this is really a sacred heart speculation!

Just when everyone's spirits were tense, Kangxi made an inexplicable decree on October 25, and sent an order to the Eight Banners and the ministers of the ministries and yamen: "Each general knows that those who practice filial piety below the ministers and above the scattered people sign and protect the performance." Although there is no flag in this flag, there are other flags, and those who wish to play will also play it. For example, the filial piety of the university scholar Wenda, Shangshu Mu Helun, and Fu Ning'an is not only known to everyone, but also to me. Filial piety, the first of a hundred lines. If there are people who practice filial piety, you can't say that there is no reason to know. ”

Only then did a group of court officials and governors be disposed of, how did they turn to "filial piety"? Is this the point prince? So is this prince abolished, or will he continue to reign? Those who thought they had figured out the will of God were at a loss in their hearts.

Even when Mr. Zhuang mentioned to Cao Hao the various prefectures in the capital, it was only four words: "The dark tide is surging".

What made Cao Hao smile the most was that Cao Hao was on the list of "those who practice filial piety" in the second time, whether it was the Zhengbai Banner or the Household Shangshu, and the list of "those who practice filial piety" in the second Baojuan.

Cao Hao is Cao Yin's son-in-law, and there are allusions such as "seeking medicine in front of the emperor" and "traveling thousands of miles to serve the father", which is all related to the Hubu Shangshu naturally happy to sell the face of the Cao family and the Chunjun Palace.

When he returned to the mansion and talked to Mr. Zhuang about it, Cao Hao just shook his head. Where does this old man Kangxi mean to reward filial piety? I'm afraid I'm going to attack the prince.

Mr. Zhuang also sighed, after all, he has been a staff member in Suo Etu Mansion for more than 20 years, and it is these "Suo Etu Yu Party" who were sent by Kangxi to have more or less some friendship. Although he was cold about the indifference of these people when Suo Etu fell, he also knew in his heart that in the face of supreme imperial power, who would dare to risk giving up his future and surname to get close to Suo Etu?

He sighed, thought of himself, pondered for a while, and after a while, Fang said, "Hao'er, this long-lived lord has some ...... If I really want to spy on you, I will have an explanation for the old decay. However, it has been more than two years, and I just asked about some Cao family affairs, and I didn't ask Ling Zun about the communication between you and your father and son. Is this the one who arranged for the old decay to help Hao'er? ”

Cao Hao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "How is it possible?" What am I who can make him bothered so much? Or I am afraid that Mr. will be difficult to solve, so he deliberately finds an idle errand to let Mr. relieve his boredom! Speaking of this, he nodded: "This is really the reason why I can't keep it, I heard my father say it in the past, and I have seen it in person in the past two years, but now I am very tolerant to the old minister!" ”

Cao Hao will not be self-righteous, and this Mr. Zhuang will not. The two said a few words, but they still didn't understand Kangxi's intention to do this.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside the study.

"Childe, sir, the Banyan Courtyard sent someone to say that Aunt Pian is about to give birth!" It was Xiaoman who came back and talked.

The Banyan Courtyard is not in the second gate, but in the east courtyard in front.

When Mr. Zhuang heard this, he stood up abruptly and walked out quickly.

Cao Hao just wanted to follow along, but he felt that it was wrong, it was not like he could intervene, so he hurriedly asked someone to send a letter to Ermen, telling Chu Yu and Amethyst, and asking them to come out to help with the cooking.

The poor aunt of this Banyan Courtyard, Lianqiu, is one of the eight girls that the Li family bought in Beijing in the 48th year of Kangxi. At that time, Cao Hao said that he would not add people to his yard, and asked Amethyst to pick two stable waiters for Mr. Zhuang among the crowd.

Among them, the sisters Lianqiu and Xiqiu were the oldest, and they acted properly, so they were sent to the Banyan Courtyard. In mid-February this year, because Lianqiu was pregnant, Mr. Zhuang set up wine and took the two sisters into the room.

According to the previous doctor's observation, this autumn was already more than a month pregnant in early February, which was a fetus sitting around the Spring Festival, and it was reasonable to give birth at the end of September and the beginning of October. The house prepared the delivery room and the midwife early, but after waiting for more than half a month, this autumn still has no intention of giving birth.

Mr. Zhuang was still anxious at first, but later the doctor looked at it and said that the pulse was fine, and Fang gradually calmed down. Somehow, remembering that the ancient saints were all born with different images, he couldn't help but show off to Cao Hao a few times.

Although Cao Hao didn't know much about this childbirth, he also knew that it should not be a good thing sooner or later, but it was not good to show it in front of Mr. Zhuang. After all, Mr. Zhuang is in his fifties, and he is worried about his old man, and he is really afraid that he will hurt himself in a hurry.

In order to be safe, Cao Hao also specially asked Imperial Doctor Chen to come over and diagnose Lianqiu's pulse, and he also said that the pulse was stable and there was no need to worry.

* This is the first time that Cao Fu has added Ding in recent years, and it is not only Chu Yu and Amethyst who hurriedly brought someone over to take care of it. Even Mama Zhang of Huaiyuan couldn't help but come over with crutches and jade dragonflies.

Although this jade dragon has not yet been accepted, it has long been Cao Song's housekeeper, and now that Lianqiu is about to give birth, his heart is indescribably sour. Because Cao Song has not officially said that she is married, according to everyone's rules, the people in her room cannot give birth in advance, and she drinks contraceptive pills every month.

After a while, Cao Song, who came back from school, and Wei Hei from the West Courtyard also got the news and came to the Banyan Courtyard to listen to the letter.
