Chapter 364 Newcomer (Part 1)

Even though Cao Yong was reluctant, the bannermen at this time paid attention to the relatives of three families, namely father-in-law, uncle, and brother-in-law. According to the patriarchal rules, the same surname is a family member or clan member, not a relative, and the mother clan is a serious noble relative. Therefore, after leaving Taipu Temple, he still went to Li's house in Dongzhimen.

Li Xu had already returned from Changchunyuan, changed into a home-cooked jacket, and leaned against the kang. His face was a little gloomy. Today, when he saw Kangxi, he could already detect the impatientness of the emperor's master. It was his son's little cleverness that made those little tricks not hide from the emperor.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why did he send his second son to Beijing like a ghost? If he followed the Sun family and Cao family, he would send his eldest son to Beijing, there would be no right or wrong.

It has been nearly two and a half months since his son disappeared, and Li Xu himself knew that the second son was afraid that there would be a lot of danger. He sighed and asked Xiangtong to bring Miaoyun over.

After a while, Miaoyun came in after Xiangtong.

With a fair face and a well-proportioned figure, she is still dressed as a girl, with a raven braid hanging behind her head.

At the end of November, when Li Xu first arrived in the capital, he met Miaoyun. He was anxious at the time, and Li Xu was not in the mood to look at it carefully. He only asked a few questions about what happened to Li Ding before the accident.

Miaoyun had served Li Ding for one night. Apart from saying a few soft words to coax her on the bed, how could Li Ding say anything else to her?

After Li Xu looked up and down at Miaoyun, he turned his gaze on her belly. Now, the child in this belly should be more than two months old and is not pregnant yet.

Although Miaoyun didn't know what the master told him about, she still bent down respectfully and bowed: "Master!"

The voice was a bit delicate, and coupled with this appearance and figure, it was buried in the mansion for several years. Li Xu sighed in his heart and asked Xiangtong to lift the chair for Miaoyun, saying, "Sit down, your body is important, be careful and tired!"

Although no one said anything to Miaoyun these days, she also knew a lot. The second master was afraid that it would be gone, so the old man and the old man went to Beijing one after another. I heard that the house here had tortured many servants, but they were afraid of thieves.

As a slave, she did not have the intention to fly to the branch to be a phoenix, but she also knew the reason why a woman died in one go. Although Li Ding was not in the past, she had this piece of meat in her belly and had hope for the rest of her life.

After Miaoyun sat down, Li Xu sighed and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to the Infantry Commander's Office to open an account for your parents and brothers!"

Opening an account means you have a slave. Although your identity is not as good as that of the Eight Banners and other households, it is a world of difference with the servants. Miaoyun was surprised and couldn't speak.

Li Xu said: "You are a young woman, and it is very inconvenient to stay in the capital. After the New Year, you will go back to Suzhou with me. It is always better to take care of the old lady and the wife, than you are in the capital now!"

There is a saying that Li Xu didn't say. That was to think that if Miaoyun really had a male partner, he would like to praise Miaoyun as his daughter-in-law. He wanted to open an account for Miaoyun's parents before heading south. This is why.

Since his sensibility, the most resentful son was his status as a concubine. Anyway, he...the hope for his life is very slim, and someone always has to burn incense for his grave.

Li Xu thought about this, and as Miaoyun became closer, he said kindly: "You must take good care of yourself. No matter what you want to eat or use, please tell Xiangtong." At this point, he said to Xiangtong again: "You serve well and follow the master to go south after the New Year!"

Although Li Xu and Li Ding and his son have no precautions about meat and vegetables, Li Ding is now in the end when he is not seen in death and corpses. Li Xu is not in the mood to make trouble in the mansion.

Xiangtong knew that without Li Ding's care, the only thing she could rely on was the child in Miaoyun's belly. Therefore, she responded very respectfully. At the same time, she could not avoid a few words of insults in her heart.

If the master pretends to be serious, he will be completely serious. He was born in the mansion to look like a kind father, but when he was outside the mansion, he still remained the same. The vixen in Shichahai is so rare?

Li Xu gave Miaoyun a few more words, and then heard footsteps outside the house, and Li Nai came back.

Seeing Miaoyun and Xiangtong were both there, Li Nai hesitated at the door, but still came into the room.

Because Li Xu had something to say to his son, he asked Xiangtong to wait for Miaoyun to go back to his room to rest.

Miaoyun stood up and became lucky to both Li Xu and Li Nai, and then went down with Xiangtong.

Li Xu looked at Miaoyun's back and said to Li Nai: "This child has good looks and character. It's not that your brother can fall in love with her!"

Li Nai's expression was a little stiff. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Seeing him hesitating, Mo Mo frowned and said, "Tell me, I heard that some letters have been heard. Haven't you gone to the Sun family?"

Li Nai replied: "My father, is Sun Jue pregnant with a concubine?"

"Yeah!" Li Xu nodded and said, "What a big deal, it's worth thinking you're so embarrassed..." At this point, he opened his eyes wide and couldn't speak.

Xiangtong talked about the banquet for Cao Yong and Sun Jue on the day Li Ding was hired. Cao Yong was called back by the princess in his family and did not stay overnight. However, Sun Jue was drunk and rested here.

That night, the two maids who served Sun Jue's house were a bunch of sisters that Li Ding had ever received.

Li Xu immediately got off the kang, walked two steps on the ground with his hands behind his back, and asked Li Nai, "That pregnant concubine is to go out of our mansion?"

Li Nai nodded and said, "My father, what should I do? I don't know if the children over there are the blood of my second brother!"

Li Xu coughed and said, "It's really amazing! Your second brother has many people in the house over the years, but none of them have a body. Those two maids are different from Miaoyun. After all, Sun Jue has touched them. It's hard to say whether they are the seeds of the second child. When the child is born, I'll find an old man in the mansion to see!"

Li Nai knew that this was the only way, so he didn't have any more eyes.

Although there is Li Ding’s case, it is the end of the year after all, and many social interactions, gifts and social events cannot be neglected.

Li Xu discussed with his son a few words, and came out with a list of distances and distances. He thought of calling someone to call the housekeeper over and prepare gifts according to the list.

When the housekeeper came, there was still someone following him, Cao Yong.

Because the two families were close relatives and did not make things weak, Cao Yong directly followed the housekeeper to enter the room.

A smile appeared on Li Xu's face and nodded, "It's Furuo here!"

Cao Yong took a step forward, saluted Li Xu, and said, "My nephew has met his uncle, so please me!"

"An!" Li Xu said: "Fruer is safe too! Don't lower your head, sit down!"

Cao Yong responded and found one of the chairs arranged by the geese wings on the ground casually.

Li Xu couldn't help but feel a little dazzled when he saw Cao Yong wearing a third-grade peacock replenishment. Including the older generation, which one of these families has such a decent age? Cao Yong, Cao Yong, your luck is really good.

Seeing Li Xu looking at him with a gloomy face, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel guilty. Could it be that Wei Hei's actions were not confidential and that there were any clues that the Li family found out?

The room was silent. Li Nai was afraid that Cao Yong would be uncomfortable, so he hurriedly asked someone to brew a pot of good tea. He brought the tea to Cao Yong and asked, "Is this a fight for the yamen?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Although there is nothing big, there are many trivial matters. I have been delayed for a while. If you think about scattering the court, you will come to pay your respects to your uncle."

Li Xu smiled and said, "I went to the garden in the morning, and if you come in the morning, you might not be able to touch it!"

Cao Yong laughed twice and asked a few more questions about the situation in the south, whether the old lady Wen and old lady Gao were healthy.

After saying a few gossips, everyone couldn't help but sigh when they mentioned Li Ding again.

Cao Mansion, Shaoyuan, Shangfang.

Zhao Jia had two pairs of heads, wearing plain cheongsams, and looked at the mirror carefully and then. Although it was okay to look in the mirror, she was still a little worried and asked Madam Zhang beside her, "Madam, are you cleaning up right here?"

"Tsk tsk" Madam Zhang said, "It's so tight that she looks young, and she's fine, no matter how she cleans up.

Zhao Jia pursed her temples and stroked her front, feeling very satisfied. However, when she saw the tobacco pot in her hand, she hesitated for a moment, but still put it on the kang table.

She straightened her back and said to Madam Zhang and several of the big maids: "Let's go to the big grandma's garden to see the outsiders!"

Although Chu Yu asked someone to invite Zhao Jia to Wutongyuan, it was not to invite her to meet guests, but a newcomer came to the mansion.

The newcomer was two great palace maids released in the palace, both of whom were over thirty years old. I heard that they had worked as a mate in Chuxiu Palace and taught the rules of those newly entered the palace. They were from the Three Banners of the Interior Ministry, and their parents and brothers were the servants of the Chun Palace, and they all depended on the royal palace.

After Chu Yu became pregnant, King Chun Fujin mentioned this. Now, all the residences in the capital and families with daughters are rushing to raise the aunts or nanny released from the palace to serve as sacrifices and teach their daughters.

Although Chu Yu does not have a daughter yet, these two great palace maids have seen the world, and helping the housekeeper is not a piece of cake.

There is amethyst in Cao's mansion, and Cao Yong himself is not the kind of rule-oriented person, so Chu Yu politely rejected the kindness of the concubine.

Because of Zhao Jia's noisy, Cao Yong and Chu Yu discussed last night that one was a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing of a sing

No matter which one Cao Yong or Chu Yu is a shameful person to Zhao Jia, the hearts of Cao Song and Cao Xiang brothers were hurt. Just when he couldn't think of a good way, Chu Yu remembered the matter of offering sacrifices to the palace maids mentioned by the concubine, so he told Cao Yong.

To hit Zhao Jia, it was better to make the outsiders proper, so Cao Yong followed. However, he didn't want the palace maids to really put on the brochures of their aunts and make the inner house messy after they came.

Therefore, he asked Chu Yu to make an agreement with the person who came in advance. The annual salary is easy to talk about, and the food and clothing cost can be discussed, but they cannot be involved in the affairs of the inner house. The fourth sister and Wuer are still young and don’t have to go to school rules now. If these two are literate, they can take time to enlighten the little sister.

Chu Yu knew that her husband was afraid that Amethyst would be difficult to do when the time came, so he was very concerned. In private, she had already explained to the two palace maids that although she had to present a guide to raising her aunt on weekdays, she had to distinguish people. In front of Cao Yong and Amethyst, it was not easy to be like that.

These two palace maids, one of whom was Luo and the other of whom was Chang, were both in their thirties. They were released in mid-October. Because the old concubine was seriously ill at that time, the empress dowager released a group of palace maids to pray for the girls.

According to the rules, the palace maids in the Forbidden City were all "small choices" from the women of the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were released until they were thirty years old. If there were any families who could get money, there would be some two years earlier.

Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang were both deacons in the palace, and they were quite decent. They also knew that when a girl like them came out, there was no good family to marry, most of whom they found a widower to be the second wife or an old man to fill in the house. Therefore, the two of them discussed and stayed in the palace, but unexpectedly they caught up with "grace", which was "seeking but not getting".

They are the servants of the Prince Chun’s Mansion, so they can only rely on the Prince’s Mansion. The princes in the Prince’s Mansion are growing older and have their own tutoring nannies long ago. How can they squeeze in?

Now, when I switched to Cao's family to serve as a worshiper, Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang were very satisfied.

Not to mention the high salary given here, the master and the grand prince are in the south, and the eldest princess and the grand princess are famous for their good tempers. Although there is a second wife, she is just a widow and aunt who is dependent on the eldest nephew. No matter how much trouble you have, you can make trouble.

I came here to worship the inner house, but it was much better than being in the royal palace.

After hearing Chu Yu's instructions, Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang understood that the eldest princess was just afraid that she would wait for childbirth, so the servants in the mansion had no rules and asked them to come and suppress them.
