Due to the heat and heat, Kangxi stayed in the Summer Resort for the entire May and June period, and only stayed in Tangquan, which left the Summer Resort for a few days from the 13th to the 18th of May.

Cao Yong's life was extremely leisurely at first. When he had nothing to do, he was not only wandering around the villa with the Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince, but occasionally he mingled with Detehe and others at the school grounds.

He picked up the riding and shooting skills that were originally unfamiliar, and he saw many new guards jealous. Even Dethei and Nalanfusen also sighed. If there is a high-level position like Cao Yong, where can he be a guard with a light care?

When everyone is in good mood, there are still people who are planning to bet on the lottery. Cao Yong is not aggressive and it is really hard to push. There are also wins and losses, which makes everyone happy.

Although Li Ding has always been a sleek person, no one from the guard camp came from a small family. He casually lifted one out, and he had a title on his body. With just a mouth, how could everyone be convinced?

Li Ding is a strong-willed person. Although his skills in riding and shooting with his hands are not as good as Cao Yong, he has also practiced urination.

When I was in the capital, I didn’t know that the Holy Lord was stationed in the Rehe Palace for more than two months. When he was not on duty, he often lingered at the school grounds, and his skills became more and more outstanding. Even the old guards who originally called him "a little face" behind his back were also approaching him.

Once, when Cao Yong saw this cousin at the school, he hesitated and didn't know whether he should ask.

Li Ding turned out to be very elegant and elegant. He liked gorgeous clothes. He was in the guard camp for several months and was a little heroic. Seeing that Cao Yong seemed to have something to say, he smiled and joked: "What do you think, but you have to gesture with your cousin?"

Cao Yong was about to wave his hand with a smile, but looked up, but saw Li Ding smiling, with a hint of mockery and hatred in his eyes. Although Li Ding immediately picked the corner of his mouth when he saw Cao Yong looking at him, he squeezed out a little smile to cover it up, but Cao Yong was not a fool, and he could feel whether he was kind or malicious.

Although the two were cousins, they did not come into contact with each other for many times. Cao Yong thought carefully that apart from the incident of Wangfengzhuang three years ago, he had no grudges with this cousin. Thinking of this, his heart became heavier and heavier.

That matter was the fault of the Li family. If Li Ding did not regret and was still angry, then Cao Yong had to sigh and be speechless. Although he knew that the Li family was in decline, Li would inevitably be sad, but he did not want to go and bury the Li family with him.

Jiangning and the capital had more than 400 people. He had to take on the life prospects of too many people. He was really unwilling to take that risk and bothered to influence the Li family. It seems that when he returned to the capital, he had to find a way to show kindness to the Fourth Prince. Even if he didn't make his position, he could not misunderstand it.

Cao Yong made up his mind and looked at Li Ding again, and there was less headache and a little calmer. He smiled and said with a faint smile: "I'm just going to trouble my cousin to find someone else. My cousin is really impatient and moving. Haha, it's hot!" As he said that, he waved his hand and said: "Cousin, let's play slowly, cousin, I'll go to a cool place first."

Li Ding stood there, looking at Cao Yong's back, feeling unspeakable hateful. But for some reason, he felt that he had neglected something, and could not think of the reason, and he couldn't help but feel upset. He picked up an arrow, put it on the bow, aimed at the target in the distance, and whispered: "What are you, what qualifications do you have to look down on me!"

Cao Yong walked away and moved farther away, but he couldn't hear it, and he didn't have the heart to think about what Li Ding was thinking.

After these days of leisure, Cao Yong felt unsure.

After all, he was the chief official of Taipu Temple, and with Kangxi's last blow, even if Cao Yong was lazy, he had to use his brain. Unfortunately, he was an outsider when raising horses. When he couldn't figure out the key points, he was unwilling to point fingers at will in order to show that he was capable.

Although the Taipu Temple Minister was considered a close minister of the emperor, the one who gave his post was useless. Those responsibilities were mostly done by the Minister of State or the person specially assigned by Kangxi, and it was not Cao Yong's turn to intervene.

Said that he didn't want to disappoint Kangxi or because of his sense of responsibility, Cao Yong still wanted to be a veritable Taipu Temple Minister. Therefore, he became a statistician for most of his time in the villa.

The two-wing ranch in Taipu Temple was a stallion, which was under the Ministry of War. It was set up in the early years of Shunzhi, mainly for the army to grazed and supply horses. At that time, the Shaanxi Yuan Horse Farm was also set up at the same time. By the fourth year of Kangxi, the horses and Mu Ding of the Yuan Horse Farm were merged into the stallion, and the horse farm in Shaanxi was banned, but the horse farm was concentrated outside the mouth. In the ninth year of Kangxi, the stallion was changed from the Ministry of War to the Taipu Temple, and it was converted from the state ranch to the royal ranch, and there were two left and right wing ranchs.

He went to the capital and asked someone to send all the existing horse farm information from Taipu Temple to Rehe.

In addition to Tang Zhiyu, the subordinates of Taipu Temple in Rehe have two small stories. The two small officials have low rank, and the information about Ma Zheng in the past few decades is considered confidential documents. Except for Taipu Temple Minister and Shaoqing, the others are the Taipu Temple Minister and the chief clerk who can check some of the official duties within their responsibilities. These two small stories are not qualified to read these.

Although his behavior seemed a bit rigid, Cao Yong sincerely admired him. Not to mention anything else, he said that the food, clothing and consumption of Tang was the most frugal among the officials Cao Yong saw. Moreover, looking at his behavior, it was not like being fake.

Cao Yong was a little surprised. Although the Beijing officials were not as good as local officials, they could scrape the land or pick up the oil of wealthy families in the territory, some were also filial to them.

However, after thinking about it, he also realized that Taipu Temple was actually a noble yamen. No wonder people had to do with friendship in the prefectures of Beijing, but it was better to be a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. Those newly released officials or officials who came to Beijing to meet all kinds of filial piety to the officials of the six ministries. There is charcoal in winter and ice in summer.

Naturally, no one will remember the yamen like Taipu Temple. When you have to die, the officials below will give you some gifts. Those small officials will become even poorer, and this gift is just a response.

Because Xiaoman and Tang Shun were also familiar with each other, they asked a lot of questions in private. Tang Zhiyu came from a scholarly family and his parents were lost, but now he is offering a widow, aunt and several cousins. Those cousins ​​are all studying and spending more money. Two of them are already scholars and are studying in the capital and waiting for Enke this fall. In addition, he has many children, so he lives a little tighter.

After Cao Yong knew this, he looked at Tang Zhiyu with more respect. Cao Yong did not hide the intention of sending someone to Rehe to deliver documents. With this responsible Shaoqing, he would not be useless.

In the following days, Cao Yong and Tang Zhiyu went to count the various data on the pastures from the ninth year of Kangxi to the present year by year. The number of livestock and waste of animals was particularly marked according to the annual and monthly data statistics.

Although Tang Zhiyu is a bit honest and has been in office for nearly ten years, he naturally knows that this thing is a contribution given to him by the chief official.

Although he did not say those word of gratitude and gratitude, he was a layman, who intervened in the official affairs of Taipu Temple in this way, rather than just talking to each other. In order to maintain the authority of the chief official, he had a much better impression of the chief official, Cao Yong.

When he saw Cao Yong concentrating on his left-handed account book and right-handed abacus, he could only sigh.

It is said in the officialdom that the Cao family's decency has fallen on Cao Yong for several lifetimes, so he was lucky enough to become an official at a young age. Tang Zhiyu himself was a serious imperial examination. He studied poetry and books hard since he was a child. He passed the imperial examination several times and passed the imperial examination in his thirties. Therefore, he originally despised Cao Yong for a young man who relied on his family's elegance, but now he really admires him.

If it were someone else, he might have thought of doing it secretly, earning some credit, and upgrading to grades. Cao Yong did not have this idea. He was quite satisfied with the current fifth-rank official position.

Sometimes, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel that Kangxi took advantage of the ranch to lower his rank to level three in order to protect himself and reduce the jealousy of everyone. Because, just like the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, after he was downgraded, he didn't think he was lucky to enter.

Kangxi is old and can no longer withstand the heat. Cao Yong has been in two months twice. Although the emperor has a solemn face and his eyes are still sharp, he still cannot hide his old age.

In the past two months outside the Great Wall, what made Kangxi happy most was the news of his pregnancy. In the spring, a noble man gave birth to a prince, but he died shortly after he landed. Although Kangxi did not lack princesses, as a man and an age-old man, being able to make a woman pregnant can prove that "the sword is not old."

The sixteenth prince's concubine Li gave birth to a son on June 19th, and the mother and son were safe. The news reached Rehe. The sixteenth prince was happy and was happy. While reporting the good news to Kangxi, he asked for grace and returned to Beijing to see his son.

This is Kangxi's third grandson this year. The first is that the third prince added the tenth son in early May, and then the thirteenth prince added the second son at the end of May, and now the sixteenth prince added the eldest son.

Before the concubine Li of the side concubine was born, Chu Yu asked Cao Yong in his letter to the family how to follow the rituals. Because there was a comparison of the rituals from the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, it was not too heavy or too light. Although the eldest son of the polite son could not be more noble than the legitimate son, because the eldest son of the sixteenth Prince died, the child was considered the eldest son, and the rituals were not too light.

Cao Yong only asked Chu Yu to follow the similar preparations, and not ask people to compare who is higher or lower. Chu Yu's letter also tells the recent situation of everyone in the mansion, and they are all safe and safe.

Tian and the servants from Yizhou arrived in the capital in late May, and Mr. Zhuang did not travel with him. He knew that Cao Yong had gone north, so he took his two concubines and Niu Niu back to the south to visit his brother. He had already sent a letter to Cao Yong, saying that he had gone north after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cao Song also wrote a letter from home, looking a bit manly. He talked about the recent situation of several younger brothers and sisters, and also focused on the story of Cao Yi returning to his house.

Perhaps the knot in her heart was difficult to resolve. She returned to Cao's mansion twice, never calling her "mother". However, she was very kind to Zhaojia and was very close to her younger brothers and sisters. On her father's anniversary, she also followed her sister and brothers to bow in front of the spirit.

Cao Yong sighed, and this could only be solved by Cao Yi himself. Whether she was willing to accept Zhao Jia or not, Cao Yong could understand it. Although the current worldly style emphasizes the word "filial piety", in the eyes of the world, no matter what Zhao Jia is, as long as he takes on the title of a legitimate mother, even if Cao Yi is a married daughter, he will only be respectful.

Capital, Jinyu Hutong, Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

Since the summer began, a piece of open space was split on the back garden, which was 1.5 meters square, and thin white sand was piled up on it. Every evening, when the heat was about to disappear, the Thirteenth Prince sent someone to clear the people in the garden and prohibited entry and exit. Then, the Thirteenth Prince came here and buried his legs in the sand.

This was a way to think of Cao Yong's approaching with his escort. After knowing that he had committed a sick life, he thought of it. The Thirteenth Prince only felt that it was a bit of a joke, but he couldn't stand the thirteenth concubine's soft and hard work, and finally cured the sand pile.

Because it was really effective and the hot sand was so hot that the Thirteenth Prince fell in love with this. But this was a bit ridiculous. He didn't want others to see it, so he sealed the garden at this time every day.

However, for some "uninvited guests", the order from the Thirteenth Prince's Garden was obviously invalid. So, the Sixteenth Prince hit the entrance of the garden with a smile and walked in.

The Thirteenth Prince sat on the little slash, squinting his eyes to rest. He heard the footsteps and wrinkled and was about to scold someone, but when he heard the Sixteenth Prince greeting, he could only smile bitterly and said, "Why are you here at such a time? It's going to be dark!" As he said that, he pulled his legs out of the pile of sand and shook the sand on it.
