The first thousand one hundred and eighty chapters
Chapter 1180: Guest
I haven't seen each other for two years, and both my sister-in-law have countless things to say.
"Look at your current spirit, you are much more energetic than in Beijing, and your face is much whiter. It seems that you are a few years younger, and it can be seen that the water and soil of Jiangnan are nourishing people." Li looked at Zhao Jia, who was blushing and said with a smile.
Zhao Jia nodded happily and said, "It's really good. When I was in Jiangning in my early years, I only hoped to be in Beijing. I have been back to Beijing for more than ten years, and then back to Jiangning, and then I realized the goodness of Jiangnan. If it weren't for the Fourth Sister's review of the election, I wouldn't have been willing to come back."
Compared to Zhaojia, Li was born and raised in Jiangnan.
When she mentioned Jiangnan, her face also looked nostalgic.
Zhao Jia continued, "It's just that bad. Every time I pass by the Weaving Mansion, I always feel bad. Although I know it is the government office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not our Cao family's residence, I always feel reluctant to leave after thinking about living for those years."
Although he was sad, it was meaningless to say this now, so Li asked about the fourth sister's answer.
The fourth sister is already seventeen years old. She delayed the review of the last draft. After this draft, no matter what the result is, lifelong events cannot be delayed.
"After the New Year, I went to Beijing and asked the Thirteenth Concubine. I just wanted to leave the sign early and make a marriage for my own family. The Thirteenth Concubine had already replied, saying that she would do her best. I just hoped that there would be no changes, otherwise I would point to a side house in which mansion I am a mother, wouldn't I cry to death?" Zhao Jia said.
Zhao Jia's concern is not aimless.
Cao Song, the head of the second wife of the Cao family, is now a second-rank general, but the fourth sister is his sister, not his daughter. The third generation of ancestors will be marked on the brand of show girl.
The fourth sister's ancestors were all officials for three generations, but her father was only a fifth-ranked official. If she was a talent show, she would have given up the sign. If she left the sign, it would only refer to the side room of the mansion.
How can you get a good marriage for your own family?
If you marry your own family, you can choose a good marriage that can match with a few brothers.
The Thirteenth Prince is not only a noble prince, but also has a good personal relationship with the queen. Since she promised to help, she will definitely be inseparable.
Li's original heart was relieved, but he thought of Wu'er in the palace.
The fourth and fifth princes are both at the age of getting married, and there has been a long history of news in the capital. Speaking of this talent show, we will choose the concubine for the two princes and share the concubine with each other.
When the prince and concubine are carried into the palace, Wu'er's identity will become more and more embarrassing.
Now I only hope that Wu'er can give birth to a young prince, so that his mother can be noble with his son, and the current situation of the Cao family will be promoted to the concubine. But if he really wants to give birth to a eldest son, he will become a target. Whether he can withstand attacks from all directions is also a question.
If Wu'er's color was more ordinary and she was thrown into the sign, it would be great.
Zhao Jia's side did not remember the concubine's daughter in her heart? She had already started to chatter with Li to exchange several good trucks of wood for exchange in Jiangnan. She had already sent people to Beijing, and she could start making furniture when the marriage of the fourth sister was settled...
Even though Zhao Jia had some minor problems, Cao Yong and Chu Yu still welcomed her arrival. They didn't want to be the other side, just to have her company, so that Li could lose some of the desertedness.
A few days later, Tianhui's birthday was Tianhui. Although it was not her time to go to the fore, it was her zodiac year, which was different from usual and was considered the first big birthday in her life.
The old folk saying is that the year of one’s life is sad.
When Tianhui was suffering from small disasters, Chu Yu was extremely careful. Since the first day of this year, Tianhui has been wearing a red belt and embroidered a villain under each pair of socks, which means "stepping on a villain".
It was about to be Tianhui's birthday, Chuyu sent people to Ji'en Hall and the fertility yard to store rice and flour, just to accumulate blessings for Tianhui.
Zhaojia and his fourth sister both prepared gifts for Tianhui. Zhaojia prepared a jade maitreya that was opened by a monk from the ancient temple of Jiangning. The size of walnuts, the jade is delicate in quality, and the carving is exquisite, and it is a good object at first glance.
The fourth sister gave her a purse, which was embroidered with Ruyi patterns on it, and the six-character mantra was embroidered behind it. The purse contained a string of eighteen-sized bracelets, which were also shined in the temple.
Everyone in the Governor's Office also prepared a gift for Tianhui not to mention it.
Although Tianhui is grateful for her family's love, she feels it is a bit insufficient, because her second brother, Hang Seng, is in Zhili, but because of her errand work, she no longer has Qingyuan and cannot accompany her to celebrate her birthday.
I don’t know what I’m busy with, not only did I not come back, but I didn’t even send a message back, let alone a gift.
In front of the elders, Tianhui said nothing.
When there was no one, Tianhui said to Niu Niu, "Aunt, my second brother has always loved me the most. What's wrong now? Will you encounter trouble outside and can't get rid of it? Or something else? Should you tell my father about this and let someone see my second brother?"
Hang Seng can follow the prince.
There is no need to worry about safety, and other troubles will not be difficult for him.
Thinking of this, Niu Niu felt very calm and advised Tianhui: "Don't worry, maybe Hengsheng will send someone to send a message back soon, but the sender delayed and did not arrive at Qingyuan before your birthday. Maybe in the afternoon, there will be news from Hang Seng back..."
Just as the aunt and nephew were talking, Hang Seng, who had been muttered for a long time, had already dismounted outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
I was very excited and went to see the fourth prince for leave to celebrate my sister's birthday, but now...
Hang Seng threw the reins to the servant, looked back at the carriage behind him, and smiled bitterly.
The man was brought back by order, but he did not communicate with his father. He did not have the courage to bring people into the Governor's Mansion rashly.
That person could only let her wait in the carriage.
Hang Seng personally carried the gifts he had prepared for his sister, said a few words to a guard next to the carriage, then quickly walked into the Governor's Mansion and went to the official residence to meet his father.
At this time, Cao Yong was seeing an official sent by the River Door Office.
The other party is in his forties and speaks enthusiastically, and a series of praises are revealed when he opens his mouth.
Cao Yong just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
The governor of the river channel overlaps with the local governor, and there are usually times when dealing with them.
But at present, Cao Yong was very impatient to deal with the visitor.
The River Governor's Office sent someone to the Zhili vassal treasury. Who made Zhili gradually become richer under the management of Cao Yong and Tang Zhiyu in the past two years, and the vassal treasury also had money.
But the method of being the main owner is too clumsy to send someone to find out.
Cao Yong is usually kind, but in the officialdom, he never gave up others with a low identity.
The current governor of the river channel Qi Sule was promoted after Yongzheng ascended the throne. He was an old man in the river affairs and had some real skills in managing the river channel.
He is also an honest official and acts very upright.
The river yamen is one of the most abundant yamen in the world. Every year, the river yamen has private expenses of tens of thousands of taels. The river yamen is under the jurisdiction of the river yamen and the department provides for the Zhang family. There are examples of the river yamen.
In a word, hello you and I, hello everyone.
Qi Sule served as the Governor's Office, but in one sentence, he eliminated all these "old examples" and then led to impeachment like snowflakes and flew to the imperial front.
But because the emperor valued him, the thunder and raindrops were loud, he gradually fell into silence.
Even Cao Yong doesn't have such courage.
What does Cao Yong admire like this?
But in the past two years, after dealing with him several times, Cao Yong avoided him.
If you become a clean official, you will be a clean official. There is no need to treat others as corrupt officials.
However, Qi Sule is currently Wuchen and treats Cao Yong as a corrupt official. Every time he meets, even if he has nothing in his mouth, he looks hateful with his chin raised and looking at people with the corners of his eyes.
The courtesy was complete, and before the official finished speaking, Cao Yong had already served tea to see the guests.
The official went out for a while and Hang Seng arrived.
Cao Yong was not surprised by his return this time.
Hang Seng and Tianhui have the best relationship. If he really didn't have time to come back to celebrate Tianhui's birthday, he would have sent people a gift. Before the gifts and letters arrived, the person would have come back almost.
But for some reason, I was delayed and I have only arrived at the Governor's Office now.
On the face of Hang Seng, he did not have the joy of returning home, but instead showed a little frustration and lowered his head and said, "Father, I'm afraid my son will cause you trouble..."
After hearing this, Cao Yong said, "What happened to the Fourth Prince?"
He believed that Hengsheng would not cause trouble for no reason. If he made something happen, it would probably be because of Hongli.
Hang Seng smiled bitterly and said, "Father, the fourth prince ordered his son to bring a woman back, saying that he would be fostering in our house first."
Others don’t know about it, but Cao Yong knew the name of Hongli in history.
Now when talking about the girl who the Fourth Prince is concerned about, Cao Yong has no intention of watching the fun.
He said solemnly: "Focus our family? Where did that woman come from and how did she know the Fourth Prince? Let's talk about it carefully."
When Hang Seng saw his father asking, he would not hide it and he told it honestly.
This is the story of a prince visiting a private visit to rescue the beauties in distress.
The girl's surname is Huang and her name is Xiao Yi. She is fifteen years old and is from Wuqiao County, Hejian Prefecture.
Wu Qiao is a famous "hometown of juggling". Huang Xiaoyi came from a juggling family. His father was the headmaster of a famous juggling team in the local area.
It was also Huang Xiaoyi who had a miserable life. He lost his mother at a young age and his father died of illness before the Dragon Boat Festival. She had no brothers, so her uncle Huang Er became evil and swallowed up their juggling team.
Not only that, Huang Er was insatiable. In addition to occupying his brother's property, he also had the idea of Huang Xiaoyi and secretly sold Huang Xiaoyi to a merchant as a concubine.
When Huang Xiaoyi got the news, of course he refused to obey honestly and ran out from his uncle.
I ran not far and almost got caught back, and I was meeting Hongli who had just arrived in Wuqiao...
Then, the prince appeared and saved the pitiful little beauty.
No matter whether Hongli is romantic or vulgar, he can't accept this woman now.
He was ordered to Zhili. If he didn't distinguish between public and private affairs, he would take a erotic hat and pass it to the emperor, which would be enough for him to drink a pot of food.
But Huang Xiaoyi is lonely and has no trust in his tribe. If he doesn't follow her, how can he be there?
With a pity, Hang Seng came to ask for leave.
