145 Lingering Celebration

[In other words, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a person named Cao Xiyuan, who moved to the northeast and became a full-fledged slave of the Han army. 】

[Later, when the Manchurians entered the customs and set the world, Cao Zhenyan, the son of Cao Xiyuan, came to the Central Plains with the Qing army, and successively served as a magistrate in Pingyang Mansion and Yanghe Mansion in Shanxi, which can be regarded as the main task of opening the official family. 】

[Then, Cao Zhenyan's son Cao Xi married a very fertile daughter-in-law, Sun. 】

[This Sun is actually an ordinary person, but with the recommendation of the Tong family, and she happens to meet the relevant conditions, she is honored to be the nurse of the prince born to a woman surnamed Tong. 】

[This prince, called Xuan Ye, is known as "Emperor Kangxi" when he grows up. 】

[We all know Kangxi's deeds, he lost his father at the age of eight, lost his mother at the age of ten, was pro-government at the age of fourteen, fought for power, and leveled the three feudatories. At the end is the martial arts are brilliant, and the culture is extraordinary. 】

[Kangxi, who was tired of deceitful and intrigue since he was a child, regarded Cao Yin, a non-biological brother of a compatriot, as a brother. first let Cao Yin be his companion little scholar, entered the palace at the age of sixteen as Kangxi Luan's honor guard, and was promoted to the second class guard in front of the emperor and the leader of the white flag when he was in his twenties. 】

[In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi, Cao Yin let Suzhou weave, and in the thirty-first year of Kangxi, he moved to Jiangning weaving and took over the class of his father Cao Xi. 】

[His legacy of Suzhou weaving was lacking, and there was no cheapness for outsiders, and he was replaced by his brother-in-law Li Xu (then the head of Changchun Garden). 】

[The position of weaving, doesn't it sound very low, very unforced? ] But this position is actually very important, and ordinary people have no chance to get it! 】

[They are responsible for purchasing court clothes and daily necessities for the emperor, and by the way, they make some silver flowers for the emperor, which is equivalent to the emperor's close attendants and imperial merchants. 】

[The identity of a single imperial merchant is extremely rare. 】

[It's not that you can be called a royal merchant if you buy something for the boss, that's called a company buyer!] If you don't have the ability to use the company's money to do business, you are nothing! 】

[Cao Yin is different. 】

[Around forty years of Kangxi, Cao Yin noticed that selling copper was a good deal, so he drafted a note, saying that he also wanted to participate in this trip and could generate income for the Internal Affairs Bureau, but selling copper required a large amount of money, so he wanted to borrow 100,000 taels of silver from the Internal Affairs Bureau. Kangxi saw this excerpt and immediately played it. 】

[Later, several families of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also smelled the smell of meat here, and they all came to grab food, competing to reduce the price. Cao Yin gradually lost money in copper sales, and he planned to write a recital, and found an excuse that could not withstand scrutiny at all, saying that he didn't want to do it, but Kangxi still played it immediately, and he didn't even pursue the loss of capital. 】

[That's nothing! 】

[The most powerful and eye-catching thing about the Cao family is that Kangxi has made six southern tours, and five times in a row Cao Yin has hosted the driving ceremony (four times in Nanjing and one time in Yangzhou). 】

[When Kangxi was living in Cao's house, he once took Cao Yin's mother's hand and said to others: "This is my old man!" ”】

[These are all old men of the emperor's family, who dares not to give face? ] 】

[Moreover, Cao Yin also has a special task: to visit the officials in Jiangnan to govern the people. Whether it is an official or a common person, as long as there is something that makes them feel inappropriate, they can go directly to the Holy Hearing and secretly start playing. 】

[According to the rules, only officials above the fourth rank in the Qing Dynasty were qualified to directly give the emperor a recital. However, when Cao Yin presided over the affairs of the Jiangning Weaving Department for a long time as the official position of the fifth rank of the Guangchu Division, he presented more folds than those second- and third-grade feudal officials. 】

[That's it, Kangxi also encouraged him to do as much as possible. If you have business, you can naturally report it, and you can write a private message or something if you don't have business! We have a friendship, so why are we outside? 】

[Once, Kangxi also drew a plum blossom next to the instruction of "I know", is this to give Cao Xi a small red flower as a reward? 】

Kangxi: "Hahahaha! That's just my stubbornness for a while, nothing? ”

Yongzheng: "Father's benevolence! ”

Qianlong: "The Holy Grandfather treats his subordinates, there is nothing to say!" ”

[Even when Cao Yin lost 370,000 taels of silver because of his reception of Kangxi, and the governor of Liangjiang played a tribute to impeach Cao Yin, Kangxi also replied: "I know the reason." 】

[Kangxi regards Cao Yin as a relative and can't bear to be punished, but the huge deficit of public funds must also be made up. Kangxi asked Cao Yin and Li Xu to be ordered to take charge of the two Huai salt classes for ten years. Huai salt is the fattest shortage in the world. Kangxi's meaning is to let them make up for the deficit of weaving in this position. 】

[He also secretly wrote to tell Cao Yin, writing four times in a row "Be careful! The original text of the letter: "It has been heard that there are many people who have a deficit in the treasury, but they do not know how to make up for it. Be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful! "There are many disadvantages and many shortcomings, and it is necessary to try to make up for them, and it is good to have nothing to do during the term of office, and not to be negligent. Be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful! ”】

[The love is beyond words. 】

[Kangxi is fifty-one years old, Cao Yin is 54 years old. In February, he took his eldest son Cao Hao to Beijing to report on his work. In June, he was ordered by Kangxi to go to Yangzhou from Jiangning to preside over the opening of "Pei Wenyun Mansion". In July, he contracted a cold, which turned into malaria. 】

[Li Xu played Cao Yin's illness to Kangxi. Kangxi attached great importance to Cao Yin's condition and immediately approved: "You played very well, and if you want to give medicine for malaria today, I am afraid that it will be delayed, so I will send a stagecoach to rush to the starry night." ”】

[Sent someone to send medicine to Cao Yin quickly, and wrote a letter to tell him how to eat it, and also knew that Cao Yin loved to eat ginseng, and complained that he only got this disease by eating ginseng: "I want to give medicine for malaria today, but I am afraid of delay, so I give the stagecoach to rush to the starry night." However, if malaria does not turn into diarrhea, it is fine, and if it does turn into disease, this medicine cannot be used. Southern quacks always use supplements, and there are countless people who have injured people, so they need to be careful. Cao Yinyuan was willing to eat ginseng, and now he has this disease, which is also from ginseng. Cinchona cream is used to treat malaria, with two coins, the end, and the wine is adjusted, if it is lighter, and then eat a serving, if it is necessary to live, or one penny, or eight cents, even eat two servings, you can eradicate the root. If it weren't for malaria, this medicine would not be used, and it should be taken seriously. Ten thousand wills! Ten thousand wills! Ten thousand wills! Ten thousand wills! ”】

[Before the medicine was delivered, Cao Yin had died of illness in Yangzhou. 】

[After Cao Yin's death, Kangxi never went to Jiangnan again. 】

[For the sake of full brotherhood, Kangxi gave Cao Yin's eldest daughter the Manchu surname "Cao Jiashi", and pointed it to the Wang family of Keqin County, the owner of the red flag flag, and the younger daughter was assigned to the Mongolian prince, and Cao Yin's own grandson Fupeng was taken to the palace to raise him personally, and he was very pampered. If Yongzheng is favored, he has to take the initiative to designate Fu Peng as the prince's attendant. 】

[At that time, there were a total of five people studying in the south study: Yongzheng's own sons Hongli (Qianlong) and Hongday (fifth elder brother), Kangxi's two youngest sons: Yunxi, Yunji, and one is Fupeng. 】

[According to Kangxi's vision, no matter who inherits the throne in the future, he must give the Cao family a wealth and ensure that Cao Yin's descendants have a worry-free life. 】

[But the deceased has died, and the new Jiangning weaving Cao Fu is separated from Kangxi, and he has to pay off the previous deficit, and he only talks about official business with trepidation. 】

[So when he wrote the seventh letter, Kangxi couldn't help it: "Why don't you hear about the big and small things in your family......" to the effect that you can talk about family affairs? I just think Cao Yin is still there, can't you deceive me? 】

[On April 26, the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi, Cao Hao's posthumous son was born, because "the rain is stacked, and the four fields are wet", and the cloud of "The Book of Poetry, Xiaoya, Xinnanshan" is "both excellent and rich, both wet and sufficient, and give birth to a hundred grains", which means "the emperor's grace in the world". Therefore, it was named Zhan, which was for Cao Zhan. 】

[In later generations, he will have a more resounding name: Cao Xueqin! ] 】
