Chapter 716: Burning seven (Part 1)

Cao Yong has been upset about the Eighth Prince's funeral these days, but he hasn't noticed Li Wei's abnormality. Seeing that he is worried, Cao Yong thought he was worried about his hometown, so he asked Chu Yu to prepare some tonics and took his own famous post and asked him to carry it with him.

In this case, if you are in a hurry, you can change horses at the inn along the way.

Everything was done and Cao Yong sent Li Wei on the way.

How did Li Wei become rich in history? If Li Wei’s parents really had some changes and needed to be filial, they would be three years later.

When did the Fourth Prince and his model governor "meet"?

Cao Yong found that his brain was not enough recently. Should he believe in the history he knew or not?

Now, he put all his bets on the Fourth Prince. If there is a major mistake in history, it will not be a joke.

Things are always not going as they please, and often they are not under Cao Yong's control.

Taijichang Street, Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Like the garden in Haidian, the door here is covered with white paper, inside and outside the mourning hall, Zen, Tao, Ni, and lay Buddhists, and they are still chanting scriptures. The eighth prince is about to die for a month, and the funeral here is not as busy as it was at the beginning, and everything is in order.

In the inner hall, the Eighth Concubine was wearing a filial piety dress, with white bones on her head, and no other jewelry left. She put a single braid on her left, and the braid was not tied with a braid, and she only wrapped her hair around.

According to Manchu custom, after the husband dies, the wife must wear heavy filial piety and remove her head and put her braids on. On the day of the third day, her family will combed her braids and put them down the next day, and she will only put the single braid on the left.

Chu Yu was pulled to the side of the kang and sat down, with a little restrained look.

Cao Yong had already mentioned the fact that the Eighth Concubine wanted her to "burn seven" two days ago. Speaking of which, Chu Yu had some conflicts about his eighth uncle and eighth aunt. He said he was a little more kin than other uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts. However, because his biological mother had a bad relationship with the Eighth Concubine, he did not hurt his biological mother's heart and took the initiative to get close.

The Eighth Prince and the Eighth Prince only got married after the Eighth Prince was named Beile in the 37th year of Kangxi. They held weddings almost every day, and the Seventh Prince, who was also the Seventh Prince, also married the Seventh Prince.

At that time, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were not separated and lived next to the Prince.

At that time, the Seventh Prince had already given birth to a pair of children with a strong relationship and was just ordinary in his marriage. In addition to staying here for a few nights when he first got married, he was still in the Seventh Prince's room at other times.

Chu Yu was already three years old at that time, and it was the age to attract people. He was not only the jewel of the Seventh Prince. Even the newly married Eighth Prince and Eighth Prince also truly loved this niece.

The Eighth Concubine was the legitimate wife. Seeing that the Seventh Prince favored the Seventh Prince, he naturally felt sorry for the Seventh Prince and pinched his eyes and couldn't look at the Seventh Prince. He once used his identity to give the Seventh Prince a few times.

Even the Seventh Concubine took the initiative to raise Chu Yu, which was also the idea given by the Eighth Concubine. In her opinion, this was the best of both worlds, which not only allowed the Seventh Concubine to be close to the Seventh Prince; but also allowed Chu Yu to be treated better with his mother.

There is no airtight wall in this world. The concubine knew that the mother and daughter were separated by the eighth concubine. She had to hate her and complained several times by her husband.

The Eighth Concubine didn't want the Eighth Prince to be too close to the Seventh Prince, for fear of learning from his favorite concubine to destroy his wife.

After a while, influenced by the woman, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince also became much more distant.

Two years later, the princes were divided into their residences, and the relationship between the seventh prince's mansion and the eighth prince became very delicate. Although the seventh prince and the eighth prince were good, the two palaces rarely had any contact. As the adopted daughter of the seventh prince, Chu Yu was an exception and often followed the seventh prince to visit the eighth prince's mansion.

The Eighth Concubine has been married for many years and has never been pregnant. She is really close to her niece. Every time Chu Yu goes to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, she returns home with a lot of clothes, jewelry, gadgets, everything.

Thinking of the past, looking at the thin and thin Eighth Concubine, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel soft and said softly: "Aunt Ba also needs to take care of her health. After all, there are still many things that need to be taken care of by Aunt Ba. What if Aunt Ba is tired, what should I do?"

The Eighth Prince has been gritting his teeth and holding on these days. The Eighth Prince hasn't been able to sleep for those few days, and he has gold in his arms. He thought that if he can't stand it, he will just end it and save her husband from being lonely underground.

Unexpectedly, there was another move.

The Eighth Concubine became resentful and a little more energetic. She told herself that she must not let her husband become a joke from others, and that she would not tell the matter in the future. She would also do her best to raise her and always want people in this world. She still remembers that she had a husband. Otherwise, she would go away lightly and the whole prince's mansion would collapse.

After gritting his teeth and enduring these days, after hearing Chu Yu's heartwarming words, the Eighth Concubine could no longer hold it back and grabbed Chu Yu's arm and burst into tears.

The crying was filled with despair, and it made people feel sad.

Chu Yu couldn't stand it when he heard this, his eyes turned red, he held back tears, and spoke to comfort him.

The Eighth Concubine could not listen to advice. She cried for a quarter of an hour before slowly calming down her mood and sobbing and stopping her tears.

"It's all my niece who can't speak, which makes my aunt sad." Chu Yu felt a little guilty when he saw the Eighth Concubine like this.

The Eighth Concubine wiped her tears, shook her head, and said, "Thank you, Big Princess. I haven't shed tears for half a month. I thought I would become a wooden man in the future. Although I didn't shed tears, I felt really uncomfortable and couldn't breathe and was about to die. After crying, I felt much more happy."

The maid brought hot water, and Chuyu served the Eighth Concubine and washed her face.

When he saw the wrinkles at the corners of the Eighth Concubine's eyes, Chu Yu thought of the Eighth Concubine who used to wear big red clothes and acted vigorously, and felt quite sad.

The Eighth Concubine cleaned up and pulled Chu Yu down again, saying, "Look at me, I've almost misled the matter. Today I specially asked someone to take you over, just to burn the "May 7" for a few days. A few days ago, I told you that you said you should look at your daughter and son-in-law's meaning. For several days, I have been waiting for the reply, but there is no movement. These days, Mr. Cao is busy and can't even see anyone. I really have no choice but to pick you up. Looking at Mr. Cao's meaning, he doesn't want you to come over and burn the "May 7". Aunt wants to ask, Big Princess, what do you think? If you don't want to come, then Mr. Cao will never force you to do it with shame."

Some words can be said on the table if you know them well.

The Eighth Concubine was a straightforward person. She didn't care so much, so she said it straight to the point.

As a junior, Chu Yu is hard to admit. Doesn’t this prove that her husband is deserted? She had to say politely: “Aunt Ba misunderstood. These two months are the busiest time in the yamen. The prince is busy with the yamen’s choreography and arrives home very late every day.”

The Eighth Concubine took Chu Yu's hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "No matter what he is, boy Cao, I want to hear the truth from you."

"Auntie, my niece is already out of the box after all, and she is not as self-employed as she was in the palace in the past. There are still a few days left, please don't be anxious. When my niece returns, I will discuss with my husband when I go back." Chu Yu even responded honestly.

Although I didn't nod immediately, I looked at the meaning and seemed to agree.

The Eighth Concubine could only comfort herself and sent Chu Yu back...

In the Forbidden City, the inner hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Yiduli was wearing a replenishment suit, looking at the stern, but talking about interesting stories outside.

Although he was a little bit shady, he was a master of his own education. If the Cao family was involved in the jokes outside, he had heard them when he heard them, but then he closed his mouth and didn't mention a single word.

Cao Yong listened to Yidu's story, and his eyes fell on half a dozen official documents on the desk. After working hard for a few days, he solved all the errands he had to cook. How should he evade the rest of his days?

Nowadays, the most popular gossip in the capital is not the mystery of the life experience of Mrs. Li, the wife of Cao Jiabo, who was rewarded by the Queen Mother Ruyi, but the critical illness of the Minister of Guards and First Class Duke A Ling.

The fact that Ah Ling vomited blood at the door of the Eighth Prince's Garden has long been spread throughout the court and the country.

There have been rumors that the Eighth Prince and A Ling A had "get together with the king and his subjects", so the Eighth Prince felt lonely underground, so he reported to the King of Hell and detained A Ling A.

This theory of gods and ghosts has always been unpredictable.

Some people have already started to set up gambling in the six ministries, just to see if my grandfather can survive for two months. If he can't survive, the odds are the lowest; one to one 1:2; if he can survive, the odds are higher, one to one 1:5.

While Cao Yong was listening to Yiduli's nagging, he remembered the incident of Nalanfusen's release.

Ma Qi, a middleman of the Eighth Master Party, has changed his camp and has become the emperor's trusted confidant again; A Ling A is in danger, and Kuixu has also lost his holy heart...

It’s people who look at the scenery, but sometimes it’s not just the scenery that look at the people.

After finishing the errands of the Ministry of Revenue, it was already dark, and the Fourth Prince returned to Prince Yong's mansion with a little fatigue.

When he heard that the Eighth Concubine sent someone to take Chu Yu to the mansion today, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but frown. He hesitated for a moment and asked Dai Jin, "What's wrong with the Cao family?"

"It's still as usual. Looking at what Mr. Cao did, it seems that he doesn't want to have anything to do with him. However, the two aides in his house have a bit strange recent whereabouts." Dai Jin bowed and replied.

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince was curious about this.

"Aide? What kind of person is it? Compared with the previous Zhuangseye, how about these two?" His eyes lit up as he spoke.

Speaking of which, he really lacks staff here.

Even if it is difficult to recruit disciples with great fanfare now, it is good to know where there are talents and know what they know.

"These two have made the servant look at each other with admiration. I don't know if Prince Cao knows?" Dai Jin took out a fold of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the fourth prince with both hands.

The fourth prince took it and opened it to see it. His expression was a little strange, and he followed it and said, "Li Wei..."

Cao Family, Wutong Garden.

"Mr., what should we do?" Chu Yu said to her husband after seeing the Eighth Concubine in the daytime, and said with some hesitation.
