Chapter 434: Feast (Part 2)

Wanyan Yongsheng was also the one who was as rare as Cao Yong. With the friendship between the Cao family and the Wanyan family, it was the day when Cao Yong's eldest daughter was full moon, and even if Cao Yong was not in Beijing, he would have to go through the motions.

In the morning, I sent someone to send a gift. I heard that Cao Yong had returned to Beijing, so he naturally wanted to come over to make fun of him.

He became an official in the 50th year of Kangxi. In fact, his grandfather died, and he was the second grandson, so he became mourning for one year. After all, he was not the eldest son or the eldest grandson, so he did not need to be mourning for three years like his father and brother.

However, he was young and had no suitable job at the moment, so he dragged his home to get rid of filial piety and became a sixth-rank pioneer school. Now three years have passed, he has been promoted to the level and the commission has signed a forward leader.

This time, the Holy Lord escaped the summer heat outside the frontier camp, half of the vanguard camp followed the Hu Rehe, and half of them stayed in the capital. He was originally in the half of the sirens, but because his father was sick, he felt uneasy and found a relationship and stayed in the capital.

The 14th Prince was a little dissatisfied with Cao Yong, and Wanyan Yongsheng knew it. The 14th Prince was a prince and had his own pride. If he was disdainful, he would not be perfunctory.

Not to mention Cao Yong, even Cao Yong's father-in-law, the Seventh Prince, has no weight in the eyes of the Fourteenth Prince. It's just that the year is in front of the year and needs to be passed on in terms of face.

Today, Yongsheng came out of the yamen and happened to meet the 14th Prince who didn't know how to come out for a walk, so he asked people to look for him everywhere.

When I heard that Yongsheng was going to Cao's mansion, the 14th Prince had a little more sarcastic look on his face and did not say that he would follow him.

The two of them said a few words at the intersection of the street, and they were going to disperse themselves, but they happened to see the carriage from Prince Yong's mansion traveling.

There is a legitimate concubine in Prince Yong's mansion, and two legitimate concubines. Among them, the legitimate concubine Nian clan, the same side of the legitimate concubine Nara clan, both followed the fourth prince in Rehe. Now the side of the royal palace in the capital is the legitimate concubine Li clan in charge.

The fourteenth prince and the fourth prince and the same mother came from. Although the two brothers are ten years apart and have no similar tempers, they are all brothers and sisters after all, and the relationship between the two families is quite close.

It’s hard to say whether it’s really close. At least in front of Concubine De, the sisters-in-law are all decent and very decent.

Since it was the carriage on my brother's mansion, the fourteenth prince naturally tied the reins and stepped forward to greet him.

As he thought, the person sitting in the carriage was Li, the concubine of the Fourth Prince. After seeing him twice, he heard that Li was going to Cao's mansion, and the Fourteenth Prince's expression was a little strange.

It is rare that the legitimate wife is not here, and Li is so generous that she is very dignified and noble.

The 14th Prince muttered in his heart, is Prince Yong's mansion so close to the Cao family? Although he had known that there were interactions between him, what he saw with his own eyes always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

For a moment, the 14th Prince also became a little interested. After leaving Li, he urged Yongsheng to rush to the Cao Mansion to watch the fun.

When Yongsheng saw that the 14th Prince changed his mind, he was puzzled. He wondered whether it was because he knew that Prince Yong had come to Cao's family with his concubine?

Cao Yong married the emperor's granddaughter. Not to mention the prince's concubine came to the door, even if the concubine came to socialize, it was nothing but looking at the relatives' face. Why did the 14th Prince value this?

Because Yongsheng rode a horse with the 14th Prince, they pulled Li far away and arrived at Cao's mansion first.

Cao Yong received the news and had already come out.

In Cao Yong's eyes, it was indeed the sun that hit the west, because the 14th Prince not only came, but also looked a little smiling.

This is what the fourteenth prince, who has to be raised to the sky?

Seeing the 14th Prince smiled and said congratulations, Cao Yong felt a chill on his back and was a little "flattered".

Yiduli is the brother-in-law of the 14th Prince. The two have always had a good relationship. Seeing that the 14th Prince came, Yiduli was really happy on her face.

Although the 14th Prince came empty-handed, he was not considered rude because the congratulatory gift had been sent out from the palace by the 14th concubine.

This is the kindness in the capital. No matter whether your relationship is good or bad, you should still have the etiquette you should do if you have any relatives. After all, if you don’t look at monks and Buddha’s faces, there is no money you can save at will, otherwise you will be laughed at and you will not be polite.

After entering the front hall, everyone needed to get up and greet him.

The 14th Prince looked around and saw that they were all old friends from Cao's family who had been in common with each other, and he felt confident.

Here, the 14th prince just served tea, and a servant came to report it, and the aunt came.

This person with a noble status needs to be greeted in jealously, and Cao Yong, who has a high seniority, has to be greeted in jealously.

This aunt is Cao Yong's uncle Fu Nai, but he came with his family today. His second wife, Irgen Jueluo, is Iduli's cousin, and he is all in-laws in this way.

The carriageman of Irgen Jueluo rushed to the second gate. Cao Yong brought Fu Nai to the living room. After walking a few steps, the housekeeper caught up again, took a famous post in his hand, and said, "Uncle... This concubine of Prince Yong's mansion has arrived..."

This was a rare thing one after another, and Cao Yong was suspicious. In the 48th year of Kangxi, he entered Beijing. Even if he had been in Yizhou for more than a year, he had been in Beijing for more than four years. Although he had had some contact with Prince Yong's mansion, he prepared gifts on the New Year holiday and returned some gifts there as appropriate. This was the first time that the concubine came to the door in person.

Cao Yong knew Li Fujin, the eldest son and daughter of Prince Yong's mansion. After all, he was the biological mother of Prince Yong's mansion, and he was also very important when communicating with various royal palaces.

Now, the three young princes in Prince Yong's mansion, Hongshi is in his teens, and the other two young Hongli, Hongzhou is only three or four years old. In the eyes of the world, if there is no surprise, then Hongshi will be the best candidate for the prince of Prince Yong's mansion.

Whether it was surprised or suspicious, it was the prince's concubine who was visiting him personally or an elder, so Chu Yu had to go out to greet him personally. Therefore, while sending someone to the second door to deliver a letter, Cao called Cao Song and asked him to accompany his uncle to the front hall.

Cao Yong didn't have much feeling about Fu Nai's cheap uncle. But since the other party was close to him under the guise of a relative, he responded in the name of a relative, but he knew it in his heart.

After a while, Chu Yu came out of the inner courtyard, and Zhao Jia and Cao Jia came with him.

Li's carriage was welcomed outside the second gate, and Cao Yong and Chu Yu and the others were already waiting here.

Li helped the maid's men get out of the car, and everyone leaned over to greet him.

According to the title, the prince's concubine was on par with the prince's concubine. However, because the prince's seniority was low, Cao Jia's ritual was perfect.

Li straightened his waist and said to Cao Yong first: "Congratulations to Prince Cao for adding a noble daughter. Our prince came to a letter to mention that the little princess' courtesy should be careful!"

Cao Yong smiled bitterly in his heart. What does this fourth prince mean? He saw that the news has faded and he came to this scene, just like the world shows the friendship between the two families? If this drama is over, how can Kangxi be compatible? He is playing with fire!

Every lion has its own sphere of influence. If an old minister like the Cao family is the territory of Kangxi, if any prince wants to be on the corner of the wall, he must be careful of Kangxi's sharp claws.

However, since the Fourth Prince showed his goodwill, Cao Yong had no choice but to bow his head and thank him now. He didn't want to leave any disrespectful things, and it was passed to the Fourth Prince. He asked him to remember it for ten or eight years. That would not be a blessing.

When Li said what he should say, he put aside Cao Yong and talked to the women.

Chu Yu has been married in the past few years and has also walked to Prince Yong's mansion, so Li is familiar with her, and it goes without saying that Cao Jia, the Prince of Ping County, needs to be said to be.

Only Zhaojia, but Li, was the first time to see him. Seeing that he was wearing a gray-blue flag dress, although he had two heads on his head, he was just two plain hairpins. He was dressed as a filial piety, Li said with a smile: "Is this the wife of the in-laws?"

Chu Yu said: "What the concubine is talking about is that this is the niece's second aunt."

Li nodded and said to Zhao Jia with a smile: "I heard that you have been to Beijing and are all relatives. You have to walk around our mansion before you can get along. They are all relatives, so why are you getting married?"

Zhao Jia hurriedly bowed and said, "I have long been thinking about paying respects to the concubines, because I have not dared to come to the door rashly before I even gave birth to filial piety."

While talking, everyone had already surrounded Zhao Jia and entered the second sect.

*

Kwaiyuan, go to the room.

The imperial physician has arrived. Although Ruhui was unwilling to take off her socks, her ankles were swollen and she felt unsure. Therefore, she had to blush and take off her socks halfway and ask the imperial physician to check it out.

After the imperial physician's examination, Ruhui asked her to lift her socks and help her to straighten her bones.

Although the pain was so painful that his forehead was sweating, Ruhui was unwilling to lose her composure in front of the servants, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.

The imperial physician prescribed two prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and anti-inflammatory, and kept half a bottle of external medicine. After careful advice, he stood up and left. Amethyst asked someone to pay a medical fee and asked Wu En to send the imperial physician out.

In just a while, several mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have come here, all of whom have asked Amethyst to show me. I have asked about the banquets for the men in the front yard and the banquets for the women in the second door, from how to start the banquets to what porcelain to change.

The concubine of Prince Yong's mansion was an unexpected guest.

Originally, among the female relatives, the Thirteenth Concubine had the most noble status and was the host and guest in the inner house today. But now that he has come to Prince Yong’s mansion, there are two host and guest, and the seats are also subject to change.

Speaking of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, it is now a special existence. If he had a title, even though the brothers met, they would have a fair reputation, but they would naturally have a title level when they talked.

Now that he has not been awarded a title, he is still treated as a prince who has not been awarded a title, which is half a level higher than the status of a royal prince.

If the princes and princes are like this, the female relatives will naturally follow him. Therefore, even if the concubine of Prince Yong’s mansion comes, they still have to sit at the lower head of the Thirteenth concubine. However, because the fourth prince is his brother, the position of the concubine of the Fourth Prince’s mansion cannot be too low.

When ranking seats, you must not only show the throne of the Thirteenth Concubine, but also not neglect the Li family.

Mei Jing thought about it and ordered the maid to go down. Because she added a distinguished guest, the original Jingdezhen porcelain was not enough, so she needed to replace it with another set of blue and white porcelain.

This was indeed guarding the warehouse, Amethyst took the key and asked people to go down to get it.

After going back and forth, even Ruhui could see that this Amethyst was not an ordinary slave. Despite this, she was not the kind of person who could talk to her servants, so she just thanked her indifferently.

But Zijing didn't take this seriously. Seeing that there was nothing serious about her left and right, she took the little girl to Wutongyuan to serve her.

Although Wuer and Hang Seng live in the upper room here, many of the furnishings in the house are still like Cao Yong when he was there.

Ruhui was corrected by the imperial physician. Although her ankles were red and swollen, it did not hurt as much as before.

When Amethyst was there, she naturally looked at her eyes and refused to lose her sense of justice. When Amethyst went out, she looked around at the decorations in the room, touched the old anti-felt felt, and muttered: "This is not much richer than anyone else..."

Cao Yong got up in the Qing Dynasty and was busy for half a day. His forehead gradually became sweaty. When Cao Song saw it, he hurriedly sent someone to urge the meal to start. When everyone was not paying attention, Cao Song was a little worried, so he slapped Cao Yong's arm and whispered: "Brother, why don't you find a pretext first and go and rest, don't be tired."

Cao Yong's wounds were a little itchy, but today it was his daughter's full moon, and he didn't want to make trouble. Therefore, he said it was okay, and he would not be able to do this for a while.

After a while, Cao Fang stepped forward to ask for instructions. The wine and food were ready, whether to start the second hall or the flower hall.

Although the second hall is spacious, it is a room that is not as elegant as the flower hall. Therefore, Cao Yong asked the banquet to be placed in the flower hall.

No one outsiders knew that Cao Yong had returned to Beijing, so most of them were female relatives, and the male guests were all real relatives. Even so, three tables were set up.

Cao Yong took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost Shenchu ​​(3:00 pm). It was time for dinner, but his brother-in-law Nersu had not arrived yet.

Cao Yong was about to ask someone to go to the door to look at him, but Nersu had already stepped into the living room with his fan.

It must have been rushed here, and his forehead was sweating relish. Nersu was about to congratulate Cao Yong when he saw the Fourteenth Prince looking at him with a smile. He even accidentally patted Cao Yong on the shoulder, stepped forward and gave the Fourteenth Prince a thousand salute, and said with a smile: "Uncle Fourteen, why do you have time to come here?"

The 14th Prince smiled and said, "I'm idle and I'm asking for a glass of wine to know you'll come here."
