Chapter 105: The Holy Family

The winter march is different from the May time. He only travels thirty miles a day. Because it was the 39th day, the weather was cold and the earth was frozen, and the people who followed him were punished and were bound by many rules. They could not trust the horse to escape. It was boring to say that it was boring. Therefore, when Cao Yong accompanied his father to the Shengchang station, he was very happy. Dethei, Shuming, Nalanfusen and others were all familiar with Cao Yong. Knowing that he was coming, he would be very lively.

Kangxi knew that Cao Yin had arrived, so he did not ask him to wait, so he immediately issued an order to summon him. Then, he gave Cao Yin a meal. The king and his ministers talked for several hours, and it was not until the second hour of Xu (8:30 p.m.) that Cao Yin came out of the imperial account. As for the content of the conversation, it was unknown to everyone.

There are naturally many princes who are willing to accompany him. When the emperor treats Cao Yin like this, he is convinced that the saints of the Cao family are still there. Last month, the Governor of Jiangnan, Gali, impeachment of Cao Yin by Gary, was suppressed by Kangxi, but some well-informed people still know some news. Everyone is waiting and seeing how Kangxi will deal with it and how the Cao family will deal with it. If the Cao family is unstable, then the Jiangnan officialdom will inevitably have a big fluctuation, which is probably even more of a huge impact than Gary impeaching three or two governors. Thinking about it, it may be profitable. How can it not make people feel itchy if they are in trouble?

However, Cao Yin's arrival and Kangxi's subsequent attitude made the princes clear again. Thinking about Cao Yin, he was the friendship between Kangxi's general leader. The two kings and ministers had been together for most of their lives, and had long surpassed the relationship between kings and ministers. If someone thought of moving Cao Yin, even if he was a governor like Gali, Kangxi would never allow it.

The Sixteenth Prince naturally would not think about these power-minded things, so he took Cao Yong to gossip. He heard that he went to the hot springs a few days ago, and he couldn't help but feel envious.

The next day was Laba. The emperor did not move his camp and was still stationed in Khanerzhuang. The camps in the Suihu camps inevitably cooked Laba porridge, which was also a festive atmosphere.

Wang Yonglin, the governor of the Shaanxi grain department who came with Cao Yin, was summoned in the afternoon and heard that he had been promoted to the Censor of Guangxi Censorate, with the third rank. After Cao Yin received the news, he went to congratulate him again. Wang Yonglin was promoted to two levels and was satisfied. He took his people back and prepared to take his post.

On the night of Laba, Kangxi held a small banquet at the garrison, and Cao Yin and his son were also given the banquet. Since Kangxi left Beijing, Cao Yong had not seen the emperor for half a month. Now he looks good, but he looks like he is still in his forties, much younger than Cao Yin. In fact, he is four years older than Cao Yin.

I don’t know if I was sad when I saw Cao Yin’s old age. During the meal, Kangxi showed concern for Cao Yin three or two times, and rewarded the Yuanhu cloak and a Yuanqing satin sable jacket. Even Cao Yong borrowed a dark cloud leopard short-plated leather robe and a sable jacket.

The emperor cared so much that Cao Yin was naturally grateful and left the table to thank him. His father went to kowtow. As a son, Cao Yong was not lucky? Naturally, he knelt down behind.

When Kangxi saw Cao Yin's gray hair, he felt very reluctant and waved his hand to order the fifteenth prince and sixteenth prince to come forward to help him up. He thought that when they first met, they were both old and now they were two old men. Time is really unforgivable. He also thought that his children and grandchildren were rich. Cao Yin was over fifty years old and had only two children. The young one died young again. How could he not let his father's heartache? Now, only Cao Yong's bloodline is left.

Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at Cao Yong and went to the study room to ask about his homework, knowing that Cao Yong's homework was considered good. Kangxi also knew that this son had always been low-key and responsible in his behavior, and he was afraid that this achievement would be somewhat confusing. However, he thought that his father Cao Yin had always been humble and polite, and it was not surprising that his son was so gentle and kind.

Looking at Cao Yin and his son, Kangxi remembered what Cao Yin mentioned yesterday and couldn't help but comfort him: "Your dear friend, don't make things difficult for Cao Yong. Since you sent him to the capital as a service, I will naturally take care of him. If you have this matter in the future, you will say that I will be the one who is the master of everything, and you, a father, can't speak!"

Cao Yin and Cao Yong heard this different feeling. Cao Yin solved the problem in his heart and felt it was a great grace. If Kangxi had not asked someone to stop him, he would have kowtowed him again.

Cao Yong listened, but his heart was trembling. Although he had heard that Kangxi had said the words of marriage, he thought that it was to find a suitable marriage at home, report it to Kangxi, and then come down in the form of grace. He heard that in marriage between the royal family and his close ministers, it was mostly this form. It was not common for blind marriage like Suhbaru to marry. It was precisely because of this that Cao Yong was not particularly worried about his marriage.

In the letter to his father and mother, Cao Yi had long asked the two of you not to easily make a marriage contract for him. He had to wait until he met the other party and his family discussed it before making a conclusion. Cao Yin and Li Shiyuan agreed, but I really don’t know where these two old men are playing today?

But at the moment, these two old men looked like a harmonious monarch and minister, and it was not his turn, a junior minister, to speak. Cao Yong had to lower his head slightly, hide his doubts in his heart, and secretly guessed.

Judging from Kangxi's words, it seems that someone wants to marry the Cao family, but Cao Yin himself is not easy to refuse. Which family is it? Is the Ma family? Cao Yong remembered the "bean sprouts" of Ma Lian Taoism, and then denied it in his heart. - The Ma family is just a third-rank official, and the family is not prominent, so it would not make Cao Yin so embarrassed. But except for his family, no one is so earnest. Whose family is it? It really makes people unable to think of it.

This is not the first time Kangxi mentioned that he wanted to point out Cao Yong's marriage, but he had already said it on the grassland. Therefore, it was not surprising that the princes, the eighth prince, the thirteenth prince, the fifteenth prince and the sixteenth prince and others who were entrusted with the outer brigade were not surprised, but the fifth prince and the seventh prince heard about it for the first time.

The fifth prince didn't care, but the seventh prince couldn't help but look at Cao Yong a few more times. The eldest princess in his mansion was thirteenth year, and the same mother as his eldest son and second son, and was his favorite concubine Nala. Because of the kindness of Manchu and Mongolia, whether it was the princess in the palace or the princess and royal family daughters in each palace, eight out of ten would marry far away from Mongolia. At that time, the father and daughter would get apart, and it would be really not easy to meet each other.

The Seventh Prince inevitably has his own little plan. Looking at the emperor's favor to the Cao family at present, it would not be surprising if there was an unmarried princess in the palace, it would be a surprise to ask Cao Yong to marry him. Since there is no right-age princess, what about the right-age princess?

However, the Seventh Prince also knew that among the right-age granddaughters, not only the eldest daughter of his family. The third princess, the fourth princess, one eighteen and the other sixteen, were even more age-like. Although the eldest prince was dismissed from the throne for participating in the battle for the throne, Kangxi still took good care of the grandchildren. Last September, the second princess in the Great Prince's mansion was named the princess and arranged for marriage, but he did not despise the granddaughter for his father's crime. In addition, the crown prince's legitimate daughter, twelve years old; the fourth prince's second daughter, 14 years old, had no engagement.

If the emperor wanted to praise the Cao family, it would be reasonable to marry him. Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but be moved. He thought of discussing with the Nala family after returning to Beijing, and if it was feasible, he would make plans. He had no intention of taking the crown prince, so he naturally didn't have to avoid those, and he just wanted to find a good husband's family for his beloved daughter.

Perhaps the Seventh Prince glanced over there a little more times, and Cao Yong noticed it and couldn't help but look up, just as he looked at it.

The Seventh Prince did not avoid dodging his eyes, but smiled and nodded to Cao Yong with a little "love". The Seventh Prince Yinyou was named Prince Duoluochun. Because of his disability in his legs and feet, he was a bit weird and was extremely cold to others. His abnormal behavior now made Cao Yong feel inexplicable, and he felt that he could not tell the weirdness, but he didn't know what was wrong.

The more the seventh prince looked at Cao Yong, the more satisfied he was. The Cao family’s population was simple, and Cao Yin and his wife were in the south. Cao Yong had no compatriots and brothers except King Ping Fujin. After his daughter married, she would not have to deal with a family, and life would be harmonious.

Cao Yong suddenly felt cold all over and quickly lowered his head and took a sip of wine. It seemed that Laba was really cold, and even in this imperial camp, it was hard to warm up.

Capital City, Cao Mansion.

Since Cao Yi knew that he would go back to Jiangning with his father, he asked someone to pack his bags. Those who could pack their bags first, so as not to be in a hurry before leaving, he went to the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun and Baoya of Cao Jia's family to say goodbye.

Baoya couldn't bear to leave her, so she kept her in the palace for two days, and then accompanied her to say goodbye to Yongjia.

Yongjiasu and Cao Yi were able to talk to each other, and they were also a handkerchief. I wondered when she was going to see her again, so she felt quite sad.

Cao Yiqiang smiled and advised, "Didn't we have ever written the poem of gathering and parting in Jizhu Club? My sister must be so moved. We gathered and parting in Jiangning, but now we don't gather again in the capital? It can be seen that the world is gathering and parting. Today, my sister went to the south. Is it possible that my uncle will have an errand and parting with me? Is it that my sister will go to the south again? Is it that my sister will go to the south again? "

Yongjia nodded and said yes, but the corners of his eyes were wet. Once the filial piety period passed, he would have to marry. Where is he still not determined in the future? I don’t know how fate he had cultivated before he got together again.

Baoya was too reluctant to let Cao Yi go, so she cried twice at home. Today, when she saw Yongjia and Cao Yi both had red eyes, she couldn't help but shed golden beans. She cried even more sadly than the two of them, which made Cao Yi and Yongjia panic. They hurriedly coaxed her and persuaded her to coax her.

Baoya suggested that she would go to the fun and delicious places in Beijing again in the past few days, which could be regarded as seeing Cao Yi off. She pouted her little mouth pitifully and said with tears in her eyes. How could Cao Yi and Yongjia say "no", so she had to rely on her.

When Yongsheng heard that Cao Yi was leaving, he felt a pity. He had just had a little affection for her, but he was ruined like this. However, most of his thoughts were still on Baoya, so it was a pity that he had passed, and there was no heart-wrenching pain. Baoya spent two days with his sister and Cao Yi and then left his hand.

Cao Yi came back from the palace and was at peace for a day. He planned to say goodbye to Mrs. Jueluo the next day. As a result, he got up early the next morning and was blocked by Madam Zhang in Cao Song's room before he even left.

"Miss Three is in charge of the Second Master!" Madam Zhang was asked to the house and sat down on the little mat. She complained without drinking tea: "Watching the master and the old man out of this mansion, the second master seemed to have taken off the reins, and she was having fun! I was drunk every few days, which is so great? Now that he is old, no one can say anything. Now the third girl in the mansion says he can still listen. The third girl said he should tell him not to go out!"

In fact, when Cao Yong was at home, Cao Song and his cousins ​​went out to have a few drinks. Cao Yong only warned him that he was not allowed to drink it, but he never denied him not allowed him to go. Many of his own buddies made friends through drinking together, including Yongqing Ningchun and others, so they naturally knew that it was very easy to establish brotherhood at the table. Cao Song was at this age when he made friends, and he was a generous and happy person. What should he do?

Cao Yi also knew about his brother's attitude. He thought about saving others. He followed Yongjia and Baoya to go out for fun, let alone Cao Song, who has always been fussy? He went out to have a drink with his cousins, which was nothing. Therefore, after hearing Madam Zhang's complaint, he just smiled and said warmly: "The second brother is having sex with his cousins ​​all the way. Madam, don't worry, just advise him to eat less wine."

How long did Madam Zhang stretch her face and frowned and said, "Miss Three Still Is Second Master Right? Second Master didn't come back all night yesterday!"

"Ah?" Cao Yi was shocked: "I haven't returned for a night? Why didn't I come to report last night?" As he said that, he stood up and asked the maid to invite Zijing, and then asked who followed the second master yesterday.

Madam Zhang originally wanted to snatch people first and scare Cao Yi to come forward to control Cao Song. Now that she saw that this matter was going to be a big deal, she didn't say it clearly, so she found out that she had compensated herself for nothing, so she stood up and stopped her head, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, don't worry, girl. It turned out that... it turned out that the second master sent someone to say that he would not come back..."

Cao Yi turned cold and said seriously: "Madam, this is a joke. Has he sent someone to tell me?"

Madam Zhang said embarrassedly: "I'm sending someone back to say it. Yes... Yes... But that's all, this is not appropriate! Third girl, you have to take care of him..."

When Cao Yi heard that his younger brother was fine, he felt relieved: "I know what the nanny means, and I will persuade him when I look back. I have something to go out later, so I won't keep the nanny." After that, he signaled the maid to see him off.

Madam Zhang was so unreasonable because she said something wrong, so she couldn't say anything else. She stepped back with her old face.

Cao Yi ordered someone to tell the second master of Zijing about it, and asked her to go to Huaiyuan after Cao Song came back, and not let Cao Song argue with Madam Zhang. Then she left the yard and prepared to go to Jueluo's house.

After leaving the gate, Cao Yi was about to get on the car, while Cao Song came back with his eldest son and the servant. Seeing his sister here, Cao Song slapped over and got off the horse and asked with a smile: "Where are you going to play with me?"

Cao Yi said angrily: "You know how to play! Why didn't you go to school? Where did you go yesterday? Madam Zhang was so anxious that she went to me just now, and she even scared me."

Cao Song frowned and muttered, "Sir, I'll give you three days off. I'm just having two cups of wine with my brother, but she's talking and disappointing."

Cao Yi said seriously: "We are not restricted from making friends with you, but you should be careful and don't worry your family. If you want to come back drunk, I will not accept it. If you don't change your lessons, I will tell my father and brother that they will punish you."

Cao Song responded with a smile: "I understand. The third sister loves me, don't talk to my uncle after looking back."

Cao Yi snatched his forehead and said with a smile: "You!" He smelled the smell of alcohol on his body and mixed with the fragrance of incense, and said: "Go back quickly and wash and change your clothes. If Madam Zhang says you, it's fine if you don't like to listen to it, just don't argue with her! She is old and is for your own good, and it's up to your mother to make her a step forward."

Cao Song waved his hand and said, "I understand. Sister, go quickly, as soon as Bao Gege is tired of waiting, so he rode a horse to our house."

Cao Yi smiled and said, "You will be quarrel with her! I am not going out to play with her today. I am going to say goodbye to Mrs. Jueluo."

When Cao Song heard that he was going to Jueluo's house, he hurriedly said, "I want to go too..." Before Cao Yi could answer, he shook his head first: "No, it's too scarce today. My sister went to serve me as a big brother Xiangsai. I'll go to him to drink some wine the next day."

Cao Yi responded and laughed at him again: "You know how to drink now! Go back soon and have a good rest." As he said that, he instructed him a few more words and got into the car.

Cao Song returned to the yard and entered the room. Sure enough, he saw Madam Zhang standing there with a pale face. Seeing him come in, Madam Zhang opened a bloody mouth and started chattering endlessly. She said that Zhao Jia's expectations were the care of Mr. Zhao Jia, and then advanced to the future of the Cao family. Cao Song was extremely impatient, but after agreeing to the third sister not to argue with her, he held back and listened.

Seeing that Madam Zhang was dry and paused, Cao Song hurriedly called the two Hum and Ha, Yu Chan and Yu Ying: "Mum, I'm tired, help Madam go back to the house and rest, and make a pot of tea for Madam!"

Yuchan and Yuying were used to doing the job, so they came up and set up Madam Zhang and left like a gust of wind.
