Chapter 1284: The Heart of a Villain

He was speechless all night, and the next day, Cao Yong finished breakfast and still took Jiang Jian and others to the Ministry of Revenue.

When he was about to arrive at the yamen, Cao Yong remembered the sixteenth prince's words yesterday and said to Jiang Jian: "Free, is there any other news in the Ministry of War except for the northwest news?"

Jiang Jian thought for a while and said, "I didn't hear any movement in other places. The scenery in the southeast has been good in the past two years, and the people have a way out, so naturally I won't do it. The natives in the southwest are too scattered and have long been unable to resist the court."

It seems that the Battle of Pingxi, which will be ushered in the Yongzheng period, has taken over the time and harmony of the people, and the imperial court's winning odds are greater than in previous years...

Before Cao Yong came out, he made an appointment with his wife and asked his wife to go to Prince Ping's mansion in the afternoon. After he fell into the yamen, he went there directly.

Therefore, when Cao Yong came out of the yamen and arrived at Prince Ping's mansion, Chu Yu had already arrived.

Not only Chu Yu is here, but Cao Yi is here, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law are having fun chatting.

Because my sister-in-law mentioned Tianhui's marriage in a few words, Tianhui avoided her early and was not in front of her.

In fact, Cao Yi also wanted to marry his parents, but because Cao Jia was in front of her, it was not her turn to talk. When Cao Jia hit a wall, the reason was due to blood kinship, Cao Yi knew what his brother and sister-in-law meant, and it was even harder to mention.

Now, Cao Jia and sister Cao Yi are both optimistic about each other, both of whom are from the royal family. The family has a small population, either without a mother-in-law, or a mother-in-law has a low birth, which is a gentle person.

According to their intention, it is best to have a side branch of the Duke's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion. If there is something wrong, the two of them can also speak in the role of the legitimate branch.

However, it is not that simple to find a perfect family? If Xi Jue is too low, it is also afraid that Tianhui will suffer from a difficult life in the future. If Xi Jue is too high, countless people will stare at it.

Chu Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard his sister-in-law talking lively.

Are these three here married to families with simple populations and withered elders?

However, even if Cao Yi is so carefully selected, he still has the pain of losing his son. Cao Jia has been invaded by the reputation of "jealousy and poison". After all, it depends on his parents' support and his own management.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu couldn't laugh.

Cao Yong was in his prime, and Tianyou and Hang Seng also started working. Several aunts joined the royal family. Tianhui did not lack the support of her parents, but where did she have the means of Cao Jia and Cao Yi?

Cao Jia was taught by the old lady of the Cao family. Cao Yi had his own thoughts because of his ups and downs when he was young. Tianhui was smart and smart, and he was a little arrogant.

Seeing Cao Yong coming, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law stopped talking.

Cao Yong looked at Cao Jia's eyes carefully and saw that she looked fine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was rare to get together, so Cao Jia kept the meal.

After dinner, Cao Jia and his younger brother said a few words alone.

Only then did Cao Yong realize that Fu Peng's job was decided. Cao Jia's meaning was to go back to Shengjing to get rid of her husband and submit a memorial to the jury as soon as possible.

In that case, in another three or two years, the "Rangjue" incident will be calmed down, and it will be cheaper for their family to return to Beijing.

The biggest person in the world is the emperor. No matter whether he is happy or not, his arms can be twisted over his thighs. Instead of being stubborn and annoying, it is better to be more tactful earlier.

Cao Yong had said what he should say, but now he is not too verbose with his sister.

With the blessing of Peng, even if Nersu retired, the lineage of Prince Ping's mansion was strong and fierce.

Because Cao Jia left tomorrow morning, he told Cao Yong not to come and see him off, and asked him to remember that Tianhui's marriage should not be surpassed by her, her legitimate aunt.

Cao Yong responded one by one before he took his wife and daughter home.

Li already knew that Cao Jia had returned to Shengjing, but he was not reluctant to let him go.

In the eyes of the elderly, it is really good to live a good life for children. After all, they are married daughters. Even if they stay in Beijing, the mother and daughter don’t meet each other many times.

As the days pass by, the autumn scenery in the capital becomes stronger.

Li and Chuyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both busy. Not only Chuyu often brought Tianhui out of the palace to attend banquets in various palaces, but Li, who has not liked to go out for many years, also had a lot of communication.

She is older and has a long generation. When she visits others, she is more likely to meet younger generations than Chu Yu.

Although Tianhui's marriage was not urgent, Cao Yong was reluctant to let his mother go out for more, so he was naturally supportive.

In early September, the Ministry of Personnel arranged for new Jinshi to select officials, and Wei Wenjie was among them.

Cao Yong was not at ease elsewhere, so he asked someone to arrange a county magistrate in Zhejiang Province.

Although it is just a Zhongxian County, it does not have to be affiliated with Guo Provincial Government, and the interpersonal relationships in the officialdom are relatively simple. There is also a Li Wei here, so there will be no mistakes easily.

In addition, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are next to Wei Ren misses his nephew and it is cheap to meet his brother and sister.

Wei Wenjie didn't know about Li Wei's relationship with the Cao family, but he also knew that he had borrowed the Cao family's glory to be able to choose an official so smoothly.

Even if it is just Zhongxian, it may be much better than those who have been to remote provinces in the same year.

On this day, when he found out that Cao Yong was Xiu Mu, Wei Wenjie came to thank him.

Since Wei Wenjie has already started a family and is now officially appointed as an official, it is considered a career. Cao Yong has to explain some things.

Especially for Wei Ren in Jiangning, they cannot let their brothers misunderstand their uncle all the time, which will make the family affection of their flesh and blood have no room for maneuver.

He did not tell Wei Wenjie directly, but instead kept him for tea, and then sent someone to look for Wei Wenzhi in the palace of Prince Zhuang.

Wei Wenjie was nervous and was also restrained in his words.

It was not obvious in his early years. After entering Beijing for the past two years, Wei Wenjie began to come into contact with the powerful and powerful people. Only then did Wei Wenjie truly understand that the Cao family and his identities were a world of difference.

In his early years, he only thought that Cao Yong was his father's old friend. Even if his official position was higher, the two families still had a local relationship.

After all, the Wei family was the leader of the gentry in Jiangning. As an outsider, the Cao family also received help from the Wei family during the decades in Jiangning.

After Wei Wenzhi became a naturalized person and became the guard of the royal palace, Zhuang married into the Wei family with a generous dowry, and Wei Wenjie understood what he had missed.

Nowadays, brothers are still brothers, but there is a difference between the people of the flag.

Wei Wenzhi not only directly served as a guard from the fifth-rank royal palace, but also was able to ascend the banker's title until his son landed. Other sons could make up for the job and get silver as long as they were sixteen years old.

Wei Wenjie also despised himself in his heart. When a man is alive, he should rely on himself to work hard and not think about being a lewd person. But when he looked at his wife He, his pity became increasingly weak.

He had seen only a few women since he was a child. In Guangzhou, several concubines were all serving people with sex, but they had no advantages.

When I returned to my hometown in Jiangning, my grandmother and aunt were both smart women.

The reason why he chose He was because he liked her to be gentle and could be a lenient sister-in-law and treat her brothers and sisters kindly.

Wei Wenzhi did not come very quickly. Cao Yong had already sent someone to change the tea twice before Wei Wenzhi arrived hurriedly.

He is a third-class guard of the royal palace and his daily choreography is very leisurely. In addition to being with the sixteenth prince, he is also stationed in the royal palace.

According to the regulations, there are six first-class guards, six second-class guards, and eight third-class guards, all of which are of grade. Other chief guards are not officials, but slaves.

The first-class second-class guards are off for one day in three days, while the third-class guards are off for one day in four days.

Today is not the day for Wei Wenzhi to rest. He didn't know that his brother came to Cao's family today, otherwise he would have to wait for one day. Two days later, the two of them came together.

Nowadays, although the two brothers live next to each other, Wenjie has his own friends of the same year and Wenzhi has his own colleagues. Apart from visiting Cao's family, the two brothers have few opportunities to go out and enter the same place.

Wei Wenzhi felt a little depressed when he was not showing his face to Cao's mansion.

A few days ago, He received a letter from his aunt Wei He's family, mentioning the major plan of foreign officials, which meant that he asked Wei Wenjie to help Wei De walk around in the capital to see if he was using the officials of the colonel to help Wei De pay attention.

Wei De was not only the uncle of He, but also the uncle of Wen Jie and Wen Zhi brothers, and he also had a half-teacher relationship with Wen Jie.

Wen Jie was embarrassed and mentioned this to Wen Zhi.

Wen Zhi did not agree with his brother asking Cao Yong for this matter. Before Cao Yong left Zhili, he promoted Wei De to the position of magistrate of Qingyuan, because of their brothers' friendship.

Now that Wei Deqingyuan is the magistrate of Wei for only one and a half years, he is seeking other positions, which is suspected of being favored by the river.

If Cao Yong was willing to mention Wei De, he would also like to mention it without their brothers; if they were unwilling to mention it, they would seem too ungrateful to come to the door.

Wen Zhi was straightforward, and Wen Jie felt a little unhappy. He just thought that his younger brother was too arrogant and did not take the clan uncle with a low official position seriously.

Putting aside his younger brother and coming to Cao's mansion independently today is also his choice after he hesitated.

For Cao Yong, a second-rank official, taking care of a seventh-rank magistrate is just a slaughter.

Wen Jie thought that he was a junior, and even if he was shameless, it would be understandable to help his uncle. After all, he was an elder in his clan, and everyone in the officialdom would be in the same mood.

But unexpectedly, before he could speak, Cao Yong sent someone to find Wen Zhi.

Wen Jie felt a ghost in his heart, and he swallowed the words he had originally wanted to help his uncle.

Cao Yong noticed Wenjie's restraint, but he didn't think about it.

In Cao Yong's opinion, as he got older, Wen Jie became more and more interested in gains and losses. Sometimes he thought too much and became less open-minded in his behavior. Because of his eldest son, he liked to make decisions in everything and did not listen to advice.

Such a person is prone to encounter walls in the officialdom and is difficult to get real help in interpersonal communication.

Because of this, Cao Yong was worried about it more and arranged for him to be an official in Zhejiang.

Thinking that he was still young, he took care of him and saved him from too much setbacks and suffered great losses in the officialdom. When Wen Jie grew older and had more knowledge in the officialdom, his temperament became smoother.

When Wen Zhi greeted Cao Yong, Cao Yong asked him to sit down.

Cao Yong showed a serious face and said, "Before he came back from Jiangning at the beginning of this year, I was entrusted by your Dabert. Because he was worried that Wenjie would be distracted in the exam, he kept saying it. Now Wenjie has been officially appointed as an official, and you brothers can be considered as starting a family and starting a career. Some words should be told to you."

Wen Jie frowned slightly when he heard this; Wen Zhize was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's just that I ask Uncle Shi to take care of our old sayings. Uncle is really true. We are all old and it's too late to respect Uncle Shi. How can I be so ignorant and have to worry about Uncle Shi?"

Seeing that Wenjie was silent, Cao Yong knew that he had a grudge against Wei Ren and regretted not defending Wei Ren as soon as possible.

But I really can't blame him for this. Before Wei Ren took out the more than 300,000 taels of silver, even Cao Yong had a misunderstanding that Wei Ren had embezzled Wei Xin's silver.

After all, when Wei Ren sent Wenjie's brothers to Beijing, he brought 20,000 taels of silver, even the dowry of his niece was included, and he seemed to settle his nephews and set up their own families.

Wen Jie was angry with his aunt and took his young brother and sister away from his hometown. It was normal for him to complain about his uncle in his heart.
