After Laba, the household yamen is mostly an accounting thing. Cao Hao was busy for two days, and he was so busy that he was dizzy.

Even if he was busy, he didn't forget to take his sons to visit Prince Yong's mansion.

It's funny to say, he and the fourth elder brother are officials in the same office, although they can see it every day, but they can't say a few words all month long. He sent a New Year's gift, and the fourth elder brother made a special trip to make time, and the two had a conversation in the living room of Prince Yong's mansion.

The content of this clear talk is nothing else, it is the matter of Nian Qianyao's lawsuit in Shaanxi.

Regarding this matter, Cao Hao can only admire Nian Qianyao. If you really check it, every province is not clean. Nian Qianyao has been in charge of Sichuan for more than ten years, and he is even more fat.

The fourth elder brother has already pinched a piece of Chen, and talked eloquently about the annual fire consumption of silver in Shaanxi.

Although Shaanxi is a medium-sized province, the annual fire consumption of silver is also considerable.

The local officials are greedy for these fire-consuming silver, not to mention, but also to stretch their hands to the court tax silver, and their hearts can be punished.

Listening to what he meant, it seems that he already has the idea of burning silver.

Cao Hao couldn't interject, so he could only listen to the fourth elder brother talk eloquently, and he was extremely supportive of Nian Qianyao in his words.

Cao Hao listened, and snorted coldly in his heart, if there was no fourth elder brother as a backer, Nian Qianyao would not dare to make such a big move.

What is the year of Yaoyao? It is not to deter the local officials of Shaanxi and seize the real power of the governor of Shaanxi in their hands. But he forgot the golden mean, the better he combed Shaanxi, maybe the more taboo he would be in the future.

* The inner residence of the palace, the four blessings.

Sifujin looked at Tianyou and Hengsheng, his face full of love. Originally, I shouldn't have seen male guests in the inner house, but these two are young and grandchildren, so they don't shy away from them.

Seeing that God blessed the white and pure, and the line was measured, the four blessings were a little sudden. When her sister-in-law died, she was not much younger than Tianyou, and she was also very well-behaved.

"Eniang, don't be tired......"

"Eniang, give you pine nut cake ......"

The childish voice was in the ear, which made Sifujin dull and painful.

Hongli and Hongday were called to accompany the guests, and when they saw that Sifujin's demeanor was wrong, they glanced at each other and thought about it.

At this time, Sifujin had already woken up and asked Hengsheng two more words.

The wound on Hengsheng's lips had scabbed, and when Sifujin saw this, he remembered its origin, and he had to say two more words.

Hongtian was really used to it, and listened to it cheekily.

Seeing that he was clever, Sifujin was reluctant to say more, so he sent him and Hongli to take the Cao family brothers down.

"Let's go to the fourth brother's, there are good things for you to see." Out of the Fujin house, Hongday showed the appearance of a leather monkey, dancing with his hands.

The first time Tianyou and Hengsheng came to Yongwang's Mansion, they were restrained and honestly followed behind the two elder brothers.

Hongli was a little unimpressed by his younger brother's love to show off, but he didn't say anything in front of outsiders, so he led everyone to his residence.

When the big guy entered the study, he saw a three-foot-high sandalwood stand next to the desk in the study, and in the middle of the stand was a copper ball with a diameter of two feet and a length of two feet, and the surface of the copper ball had various striped patterns.

"That's it, Uncle Thirteen was originally going to be the treasure of the town hall, and let the fourth brother get it." Hongyang took two steps forward and said.

This thing is indeed the first time I have seen it, and Tianyou and Hengsheng also showed curiosity.

Hongtian was triumphant, stretched out his little hand, turned the copper ball halfway and fixed it, pointed to the palm-sized piece of it, and said, "This is the globe, and this piece is our Great Qing Kingdom." This is man-made on the Europa side, and the circle above is dotted with foreign characters. ”

"I've seen this, and there are foreign books in my father's study." Hengsheng nodded.

Hongli smiled and didn't say anything, but Hongli thought that Cao Hao was the companion of the sixteenth uncle, and eighty percent of this foreign language was learned in the palace.

A few children got together and had to study why Daqing was on a ball, how far away Europa was, and so on, but they talked with relish.

Tianyou thought that someone in the family had returned to Beijing from Guangzhou, so he had to lie down in front of the globe and find out where Guangzhou was.

Sifu Jin stayed for dinner, and he didn't want to detain them, so he sent them directly to the Hongli courtyard.

After half a day of fighting, the children got a lot of familiarity.

Hongli and Tianyou are okay, one holds the identity, the other guards the etiquette, looks at each other amiably, and there is no exposure; Hongday is a waterlogged talk, and he has a good impression of Hengsheng, who is annoyed. Because no matter what he said, Hengsheng listened honestly, and followed up with a sentence and a half, which made his heart iron.

Cao Hao stayed in the front yard to eat, but he didn't have the freedom of God and Hengsheng.

When eating, it is natural to follow the etiquette and keep silent.

Prince Yong's mansion is simple to the outside, and this utensil is just official porcelain, and the ingredients are not rare. Green rape, golden garlic sprouts, pink and tender radish, plus two hot pots.

It still looks a little plain, but in the cold winter wax moon, these things are also rare. That is, the prince's mansion, the house of the powerful, has its own greenhouse, or from the internal affairs office to exchange some.

The fourth elder brother seems to be extremely health-conscious, and he has to chew a mouthful of food many times before swallowing it; In terms of the amount of rice, it is just a bowl of rice, and I refuse to be greedy.

Cao Hao then put down his chopsticks and didn't use them anymore.

The servant removed the table and brought tea.

The fourth elder brother held the tea cup, pondered for a long time, his eyes were dark, and said, "What do you think of the war in the northwest?" ”

Cao Hao has already seen that this cold-faced king's surname is awkward. He clearly asked about the war in the northwest, but what he actually wanted to ask was what Cao Hao thought of the fourteenth elder brother.

The fourteenth elder brother returned to Beijing for a while, and there were many people who greeted him. In addition, Hongming's marriage was personally assigned by Kangxi, and he personally asked about the suitability of marrying, which is even more imaginative.

You must know that among the emperor's grandsons, only the emperor's eldest grandson, Honghui, has had this treatment.

Even those who respected Confucian orthodoxy earlier and were optimistic about Honghui also had many of them as wall grass.

"It's still the old saying, 'the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first', if it weren't for the prince's every kind of planning in the household department, these hundreds of thousands of troops would not have persisted until now. The Northwest is peaceful, which means that it can be waited, and it is not a war achievement, thanks to the emperor's kindness. Cao Hao pondered and said.

In just a few words, not only did he give the fourth elder brother a certain high hat, but also wiped out the so-called "merits" of the fourteenth elder brother.

In the heart of the fourth elder brother, he immediately ironed a lot, and the iceberg face also had the meaning of gradually melting.

The Northwest Army claims to be 300,000, but in fact there are 180,000. Just these 180,000 yuan, these three or four years of hard work, tens of millions of taels of silver will be thrown every year, and the imperial court has long been overwhelmed.

After spending this silver, if you can destroy Jungar, it will be good to increase the prestige of the court. After three or four years, he never encountered the main rebel forces, and only fought a few battles sporadically, and the battle situation was also embarrassing.

That's it, those people in the military department still have the face to set up an inscription for the "recovery" of Lhasa, and they are not too shabby.

The truth is that the most important thing in this capital is the icing on the cake, putting gold on the face of the fourteenth elder brother and praising the attack.

Even Concubine De is also in the posture of a young son, and the fourth elder brother wants to vomit blood. However, in his capacity, he couldn't say a word.

To say that he does not hate the fourteenth elder brother in his heart is false; More so, is to look down on.

Now seeing that Cao Hao is an understanding person, the fourth elder brother is really relieved, and the atmosphere in this room is immediately different.

Cao Hao was used to being careful, Rao is fourth elder brother was much warmer, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he answered respectfully and took his sons out of the house and went home.

When the fourth elder brother returned to the inner house, he had to ask Sifujin a few words, what is the character of the children of the Cao family.

Sifu Jin praises Tianyou for being well-behaved, Hengsheng is honest, and they are all good children.

In addition, regarding the identity of Hengsheng's adopted son, Sifujin also mentioned two sentences. In her heart, she never wanted her own children. It's just that her identity is limited, and the royal blood can't be confused, otherwise she also wants to raise a child and be by her side.

The fourth elder brother and the fourth fujin have been married for more than 30 years, and the old husband and wife can guess what she thinks, and said: "If you feel lonely, Ming'er will ask someone to take Sigege over." ”

Sifujin was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, for the New Year, I'm in a mess here, and I'll talk about it after the New Year." ”

The "four grids" they are talking about are the thirteenth elder brother's daughter, who is eight years old this year and looks cute in ice and snow. The four blessings and the thirteen blessings have always been good friends, and they often take the four grids to live in the palace.

When it came to the Thirteen Elder Brothers' Mansion, Sifujin felt bitter in his heart.

Compared with her, the blessings of the Thirteen Fujin are really full, not to mention that she has given birth to three sons and two daughters, and now she has ...... in her belly * It is not only the four Fujin who are touched by the pregnancy of the Thirteen Fujin, but also the sixteenth elder brother.

When Cao Hao returned home, the sixteenth elder brother was already waiting for him. Listening to the sixteenth elder brother's complaints, Cao Hao stared.

If you are pregnant or not, can you compare? Even if the two of them are as affectionate as the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, whether they can conceive or not depends on luck.

It can only be said that the sixteenth elder brother and his family are unlucky, so they folded three sons-in-law in a row.

The sixteenth elder brother sighed for a long time, annoyed, and blamed all the faults on himself.

The Sixteen Fortunes, like the Thirteen Blessings, both had five children, but the consequences were different. Sixteen Fu Jin's sons died one after another, and only two little Gege were around; Thirteen blessings are children.

"Sixteen Fujin is still young, what is the sixteenth master anxious about? Chu Yu's pregnancy this time is not a few years away from the last birth. "Two big men, talking about these pregnancy things, Cao Hao felt weird.

The sixteenth elder brother seemed to notice this, coughed twice, and said, "How did Imperial Doctor Fang treat the ninth brother?" Okay, you can wait, after reading Brother Jiu's side, it should be my turn. ”

Cao Hao glanced at him and said, "This, the sixteenth master muttered ten times and again, don't worry." ”

The sixteenth elder brother laughed twice and said, "It's good to remember, it's good to remember." Today, I came here because of the fruits that came from the south, and a fruit plate was added to it in the winter, and it looked bright......"

While the two were talking, they heard a voice outside the door: "Is the master here?" ”

It was Xiaoman's voice, and Cao Hao raised his voice: "Come in!" ”

Xiao Man came in in response, first met the sixteenth elder brother, and then said to Cao Hao: "Master, a few people are enshrined in the school field, as if they want to compete with newcomers." Brother Wei asked the little one to come over and ask if he had gone over to watch. ”

This is to explore the bottom of Bala and China, Cao Hao's eyes are the same, but he really wants to see how powerful this tiger and wolf man is.

The sixteenth elder brother couldn't sit still when he heard the excitement, so he got up and went to the school together.

The school field is in the southwest of Caofu, between the study and the car garage, and there are already many people standing now.

Needless to say, Cao Jia, Cao B, Cao Bing, and Cao Ding are all on the field, in addition to the protagonists Bala and China, there are also Wei Hei, Zheng Hu, Ren Brothers, Zhang Yi and Jing Zhen and others. On the side of the school, there are boys in the house, Tianyou, Hengsheng, Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng, Changsheng and others.

Most of them knew the sixteenth elder brother, and when they saw Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother coming together, they had to bow down to salute. If you don't know it, you will follow the crowd.

The sixteenth elder brother waved his hand and called everyone up, and their eyes fell on Bala.

It's really Bala's height is too eye-catching, plus a weight of about 200 catties, a bit of a top-notch posture, which should not be underestimated. As for Chi Na, although he has a bit of a fierce spirit, but with Wei Hei and Zheng Hu, it doesn't look eye-catching.

On the edge of the school field, there are several stone piers, which are bought from the school yard of the military barracks, and the standard configuration of martial arts is 300, 250 catties, and 200 catties respectively. There are two more, each weighing 500 catties, which is just for decoration.

When Barak heard that he was told to carry the stone pier, he went straight to the two five hundred.

What is a daughter's wrestler, this is it.

There are stone beams on this stone pier, and he grabbed one in one hand, but he didn't feel the slightest difficulty, and he could even wave his arms and dance twice. Seeing that Cao Jia and the others raised their eyebrows, Wei Hei and Zheng Hu hurriedly protected Tianyou and Hengsheng behind them.

Whether it is the guard camp or the guard camp, there is no shortage of brave warriors. However, it is rare to see someone like Barra.

Not only did he have great strength, but his body was not clumsy, and the Ren brothers went up, compared their fists and feet for a while, and fell behind. Cao Bing held the weapon and fought for a while, and Bala was not flustered.

"Where did Fu Ruo get such a character? If you put it in the army, you can be a fierce general. The sixteenth elder brother looked at the straight gasp, turned his head sideways and asked Cao Hao.

If it weren't for the shaking of the ground when Bara threw down the stone pier, he would have wondered if it was a stone or tofu.

Now there are many people with mixed eyes, Cao Hao can't say much, so he said: "This one has the power to fight tigers, and that one has the talent to fight wolves, the sixteenth master will look at it." ”

Hearing him say this, the sixteenth elder brother looked at the field again.

China first demonstrated the archery technique, and all the nine shots hit the heart. When Zheng Hu came down to compete with him, he showed a Mongolian knife in his hand, his expression was hideous, and he was desperate.

After a few rounds, Zheng Hu was already out of support, and there were a few cuts on his clothes.

Seeing this, Cao Yi swam two steps into the field, and he didn't know what kind of kung fu he used, so he took a few moves, unloaded China's arm joints, and snatched the Mongolian knife in China's hand.

China obviously didn't expect such a result, and he was stunned, his face full of incredulity.

Cao Yi handed him back the Mongolian knife, helped him fix the joints, and said, "The young man is good, it's a little interesting!" ”

With a flushed face, Quina retreated to Bara's side, looking at the crowd, her chest rising and falling.

When he was in Mongolia, he was known as a "warrior", and at the age of eighteen he served as the deputy captain of the Khan's guard, which also brought a bit of arrogance.

The prince directly gave him and Bala away, and he was somewhat unconvinced.

I didn't expect that there were people outside the world and there was a sky outside the sky, so easily being snatched away by someone......
