The capital, the Shilang Mansion, the front hall.

Looking at Cao Song in a guard's uniform, Murtai looked complicated, pointed to the chair, and said, "This is just coming back from duty in the palace?" Sit down and talk. ”

"Well, I wanted to go back and change my clothes and come back, but I was afraid that I would miss the time." Cao Song said in his mouth, and he had already sat down at his orders.

"The gift you sent with your daughter-in-law has been shown to Ruhui. She accepts your affection, and it is hard for you to still worry about it. Murtai sighed and said.

"Uncle, no matter what, Ruhui is a nephew and cousin, and she is close by blood. It's my mother's side, but I can't turn it around for a while, and I feel sorry for my cousin in my heart. Cao Song said.

Murtai nodded, looked at Cao Song and said, "In the end, it's bigger, it's much more stable." ”

Seeing that Murtai had become old and his hair was graying, Cao Song couldn't help but be a little worried, and said: "I heard that Heshangshu was dismissed, and there are rumors that the accounts of the Ministry of Industry in the past few years are wrong, and my uncle is okay, right?" ”

When Murtai heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay to do something, how can this be controlled at will?" It's all fate, let it be. ”

"What if you go and talk to your grandfather, see if you can find someone to talk about Xiang Xiang?" Cao Song asked with great concern.

Seeing that his nephew was so sincere, Murtai was quite moved, his expression eased a lot, waved his hand, and said: "Your eldest grandfather is eighty-three years old this year, and everyone is confused for a while, how can you use these troubles to bother his old man." ”

"Why don't my nephew write to the uncle and ask, the uncle knows that he can help ......" Cao Song hesitated for a moment and said.

Murtai shook his head and said, "It's not that far, your grandfather and grandfather have strict family education, and your uncle and I are not greedy people, and we haven't reached the point of anger and resentment." It's just that those people are idle and have nothing to do, making trouble with the wind and rain. If you can't stand it, your uncle will think about it, so you don't have to worry about your uncle's side. Your younger siblings are all young, and you have to rely on your brother to pull and discipline. ”

has been out for two years, Cao Song is also a lot sensible, not a hairy boy who doesn't understand anything.

The reason why my uncle was affected by He Yi and was impeached was mostly because of the long years that Marhan had been old, which made the sons and nephews of the clan lose their backers.

As the two nephews and uncles were talking, a little maid came to pass the word, saying that the hour was about the same, and the wife invited the master into the inner house.

Cao Song listened, got up and said, "Since my aunt is called uncle, then my nephew will go back first." ”

Murtai hesitated for a moment and said, "Your cousin-in-law wants to be released, and he will leave after returning to the door." The day after tomorrow, your cousin will come back to the door, and if you are free, come and eat at the kiss bar. ”

"Yes, my nephew wrote it down." Cao Song responded, and Murtai asked the housekeeper to send him out, and he went back to the second gate by himself.

Cao Song walked out of the Shilang Mansion, thought about it, and rode around the back street.

It is already a golden wuxi, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and the pedestrians are thinning.

At the back door of Shilang's house, a sedan chair was parked, lonely, without the gongs and drums and hustle and bustle of welcoming relatives.

According to the custom in Beijing, widows can only be quietly carried out through the back door before the sun comes out or after the sun goes down.

Because it was summer, although the sun had set, but the sky was not yet completely dark, I heard a "squeak" and the back door was pushed open.

The bride, draped in a hijab and dressed in red, was helped out. Standing next to him was a middle-aged man in auspicious clothes, in his thirties, with a short beard, who was Ruhui's new husband, an outgoing Taoist.

Murtai and his wife Wu Yashi followed out, Wu Yashi was already holding a handkerchief, wiping tears, his face was full of reluctance, holding his daughter's hand, and instructing for a long time, Fang asked someone to help him get on the sedan chair.

When the bridegroom saw the bride getting into the sedan chair, he bowed to Murtai and Wu Yashi, got on the horse and led the sedan chair away.

Cao Song here, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, shook the reins, turned the horse's head, and went home to ......* Rehe and the palace.

Looking at Prince Heshuo Jian, Yaerjiang Azi, Kangxi was in a good mood, and said that the little brothers were not tolerant of heat and wanted to use big ice cubes.

Today, there are a total of nine brothers who do not have a branch and live in the palace. The fourteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother are not counted, as well as the twenty elder brother, the twenty-first elder brother, the twenty-second elder brother, the twenty-third elder brother and the twenty-fourth elder brother who just landed in the first two days.

This time, there were three people with him, and there were six more in the palace. The twenty-four elder brothers in the swaddling clothes don't need these, and the remaining twenty-one elder brothers, twenty-two elder brothers and twenty-third elder brothers, the eldest is six years old, and the younger is four years old, which is the most lively and active age.

In addition to these princes and elder brothers, there are also fourteenth elder brothers, fifteenth elder brothers, and sixteenth elder brothers.

Kangxi thought about his children and grandchildren, and his face was much softer.

I saw Wei Zhu come in and play: "Your Majesty, the third elder brother handed over the sign and asked to see." ”

"Xuan." Kangxi put down the fold and said loudly.

After a while, the third elder brother came in with Wei Zhu, lifted his placket, knelt down and said, "Erchen respectfully invites Sheng'an." ”

Kangxi nodded and said, "Flat." ”

The third elder brother is here to respectfully invite Kangxi to visit the royal garden. Kangxi was in a good mood and was willing to reunite with his children and grandchildren, so he agreed to the past.

The third elder brother was overjoyed, and said a few words with him, knelt down, and went back to prepare for the drive.

Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother happened to come here to drive the saint, and they happened to see the back of the third elder brother in the distance.

The sixteenth elder brother looked at the back of the third elder brother, with a little disdain on his face, and turned his head to Cao Hao and whispered: "Does he have no eyes, no ears, and don't know that the court is difficult now, and he really thinks that if he is as pretentious and elegant as he is, he can win the throne?" ”

Who understands this, after all, he is the son of the Ninety-Five, and who doesn't want to think that he is the true dragon son. Not to mention, the third elder brother thinks the same.

According to the rule of having a grandson and establishing a successor, and no grandson, now that the eldest brother and the second elder brother have been circled, he, the third elder brother, has become the head of all the princes, and he can be regarded as the person with the best chance to inherit the imperial system.

"Didn't you say that the fourth master was coming? It's time to do the math. Cao Hao didn't want to say anything, so he changed his words.

"Yes, otherwise why do you think the third brother is in such a hurry, he has been visiting him two or three times in the past few days, just to invite Huang Ama to visit the garden." Sixteenth elder brother said.

The two of them talked, and when they arrived at the place where the holy car was, they asked the chamberlain to go in and pay their respects.

After a while, a decree came out, and the two of them were sent in and into the drive.

In the hands of the sixteenth elder brother, he held a thick account book, which he sorted out.

Listening to the sixteenth elder brother talking about the shortcomings of the internal affairs office, Kangxi's face was deep, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, and the eyes of Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother who occasionally swept over were a little more probing.

Cao Hao bowed and stood aside, listening to the sixteenth elder brother talking, and he was sweating in his heart.

The sixteenth elder brother has always been lazy, but this time he was also stimulated and had a competitive heart, so he worked very hard.

However, Kangxi is the most stable surname, and he cares about the face of the court, and the sixteenth elder brother is afraid that he will be in vain.

Hearing the sixteenth elder brother's request to check and check the Huangzhuang in various places and reformulate the total number of tributes according to the amount of acres of land, Kangxi did not answer immediately, but looked at Cao Hao and asked, "Cao Hao, what do you think?" ”

"Back to the emperor's words, Weichen seconded the sixteenth elder brother. The Huangzhuang, mountains, forests, and swamps under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a lot of income, and if they can open up sources and reduce expenditures, and make the best use of materials, they can also enrich the inner treasury. Cao Hao thought for a moment, bowed and replied.

Xu really didn't have any money to make trouble, Kangxi thought about it for a while, and nodded in response to the invitation of the sixteenth elder brother. However, he did not forget to warn and said: "Yinlu, since you are in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, it can be regarded as diligence with Cao Hao to think about opening up sources and reducing expenditure, but you must also know how to measure your proportions, and don't make people panic and be unstable." "In the end, it's a bit harsh.

The sixteenth elder brother wanted to defend himself, but looking at Kangxi's serious expression, he sighed in his heart, leaned over to respond, and said, "Yes, Huang Ama taught me a lesson, and my son wrote it down." ”

Coming out of the palace, seeing that it was not early, Cao Hao said goodbye to the sixteenth elder brother and went home from the palace.

After greeting his parents and saying a few words to his sons, Cao Hao returned to the East Courtyard.

Vanilla came, and Chu Yu and the two of them were looking at the shoes. Qi Niang was also there, telling Tianhui the story of the seaside in a vivid voice. Not only Tianhui was fascinated by it, but even Xicai and Wuen also listened to it with relish.

Seeing Cao Hao coming back, Vanilla hurriedly got up to meet him, and then took Qi Niang back.

After Chu Yu served Cao Hao to change his clothes and freshen up, the meal had already been placed.

Seeing that there were three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, Cao Hao said, "Didn't you send someone back and tell you to eat first?" Are we all too much? What should you do with your daughter when you're hungry? ”

"I ate in my wife's room with Tianhui, and when I asked her later, she said she wasn't hungry, so she came back with a piece of money." Chu Yu wiped Tianhui's hands and wanted to hug her daughter on the kang.

Cao Hao was afraid of her wound, so he hurriedly stopped, and leaned over to hug Tianhui on the kang.

"E, Eniang sent a letter, saying that she wanted to pick a good day and invite the old lady and the children to visit the garden. When will the forehead rest, can you even out half a day? Chu Yu asked.

"I'm not in the way here, say hello to the sixteenth master, and I can come out at any time. It's just that these two holy drivers want to go to the palace to visit the king's garden, why is there no movement on the father-in-law's side? Cao Hao asked rhetorically.

"I also haven't seen Amma for a while, I don't know why. Listening to Hongzhuo's last time, the garden of the third uncle's family is magnificent and elegant, much more spacious than Amma's side. I don't know if that's the reason, but Amma didn't ask for it. Chu Yu replied.

is also a prince, the status of the prince and the county king is different, and the status of the county king is also different from that of Baylor and Beizi.

It is not necessarily a good thing to be as confident and swaggering as the third elder brother.

Although the father-in-law's attitude towards the emperor's eldest grandson Honghui is unclear, such a low-key and unostentatious surname is a talisman.

The next time, the holy car came out of the palace, and the garden of Prince Shuocheng was fortunate and Shuocheng.

Cao Hao got up in the early morning, and on the way from the palace to Wang Yuan, a road curtain has been set up, all of which are surrounded by yellow silk.

The loess pavement, the clear water sprinkled on the street, the yamen of the Internal Affairs Bureau, was busy from midnight to dawn, and it was only after it was cleaned up.

The fourth elder brother, who had rushed a few roads, arrived at Rehe and asked Fu Jin to take his entourage to the garden here, and he personally went to the palace to ask for peace.

Before arriving at the gate of the palace, I heard the sound of drums. In the sound of drums, surrounded by everyone, Luan drove slowly out of the palace......
