Chapter 740 The First Level (Part 2)

The Thirteenth Prince's expression froze, looked at Cao Yong and said lightly: "What does Cao Yong mean when he said this? If I want to become an official, why should I consider the Fourth Brother?"

Cao Yong had already stopped the noise, but it was not good, as if he was provoking the deep brothers and sisters of the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourth Prince.

The Thirteenth Prince did not allow Cao Yong to shut up, squinted his eyes, and asked, "What Cao Yong meant...are you afraid that the Fourth Brother is afraid of me..."

When Cao Yong heard this, he felt distressed. He meant this, but he could not say this. Otherwise, the disaster might come from his mouth.

"There is no such intention. The current situation is unclear. I am worried that Thirteenth Master will be implicated at this time. The Fourth Master has always been steady. If he can ask for it clearly, Thirteenth Master will be prepared, right?" Cao Yong said sincerely without hesitation.

As long as the Thirteenth Prince takes office, no matter whether it is the favored prince who regains the Sacred Heart or replaces the Fourteenth Prince, he will no longer be the "Thirteenth Brother" in the hearts of the Fourth Prince.

Who said that an emperor has a broad mind and tolerance of the world, and has no choice but tolerated sand in his eyes, is also an emperor.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong was also hesitant. If the Thirteenth Prince insisted on this, how should he "enlighten" him?

After hearing Cao Yong's words, the Thirteenth Prince was probably a little satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "Cao Yong, Cao Yong, I am half a round more than you, can I be a young boy? I just said this, so that you can prepare in your heart, and you have to wait for a proper opportunity."

Cao Yong felt relieved when he heard this.

When the Thirteenth Prince saw Cao Yong like this, he glanced behind the screen, wanted to ask Cao Yong for something else, but he held it back.

He knew that the man's temper was not generous. If there was anything wrong with Cao Yong's words, it would cause trouble.

After saying a few more gossips, Cao Yong saw that the Thirteenth Prince was indifferent, so he found Yuzi and stood up to leave.

The Thirteenth Prince did not send him out as usual, but called a housekeeper and sent Cao Yong out of the mansion.

Cao Yong knew about the Thirteenth Prince's family going to Tangquan for a small stay. Now, seeing the Thirteenth Prince's appearance, he couldn't help but wonder, could the Thirteenth Prince still not see through and have a bad time?

What he didn't know was that there was not only the Thirteenth Prince and him in the living room, but there was another person.

The Thirteenth Prince stood up, looked at the Fourth Prince who walked out from behind the screen, and smiled and said, "Fourth Master, look, this boy Cao Yong didn't say anything like he had seen the Fourth Brother avoiding cats and mice over the years, and he didn't dare to say anything wrong in private."

The fourth prince flapped his sleeves and said "Yeah", unable to see his happiness and anger. He walked to the row of chairs in the east and sat down, saying, "Wang Quantai is a bit loyal, so he should use it."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, he is a loyal and filial man. But sometimes he is a little stupid and filial. Fortunately, he is blessed to marry a wife with a good heart."

When the fourth prince heard this, he seemed to have some hidden information and said, "How can I explain this?"

The Thirteenth Prince said, "The fourth brother knows that the only ones around my younger brother are used, so I have paid attention to it. As the eldest son, Wang Quantai left his hometown, which is a bit unreasonable. It just happened that there were two managers in Yizhou who were taking care of the tea garden, so they asked them to go to Rizhao to inquire. Every family had a difficult sutra, in addition to the widowed mother, another brother, who had become a biological child. He was just a little bit of a pity and was neglected. Not only did Wang Quantai buy land in his early years and put it in his name. A few days ago, he sent someone to ask for money, saying it was pension money, but in fact, the young daughter-in-law was gone and he wanted to get a house for his younger son. After all, he was a biological mother. Wang Quantai sent a little savings from the past two years to Beijing to Shandong. He did not leave a word, but instead gained the reputation of an "unfilial son" between them."

I had an average impression of Wang Quantai and the Fourth Prince. In his heart, Wang Quantai's entry into the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion was too short, and his past resume was too complicated.

Hearing the Thirteenth Prince mentioned Wang Quantai's family affairs, the Fourth Prince was touched, and he felt that Wang Quantai was a good use.

Thinking of this, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Just him. I heard that his wife is the one who can be used by the Thirteenth Brother, so I don't have to follow Sichuan. There is a girl next to your fourth sister-in-law, and her eyes are pretty neat. Let her follow her to serve her. Tomorrow, let her go to the Thirteenth Brother's side, and just say that it's from the mansion here."

When the Thirteenth Master heard this, he was stunned.

Although he couldn't bear to let Zheng be a business talent in his heart, he never thought of letting the couple separate. Then, he understood the Fourth Prince's intention in his heart.

I am used to being suspicious, and even if I want to hire people, I have to hold them in my hands first.

It turned out that Nian Gengyao sent his son to Beijing and wanted to show his loyalty, but it was counterproductive. Instead, it made the Fourth Prince more suspicious. If he was open and honest in Sichuan, how could this happen?

The Fourth Prince wanted to send his disciples down, but now he was staring at him everywhere in the capital. If something was turbulent, it would attract the attention of those who were interested.

There was no way, thinking of the Thirteenth Prince, I got this out first to discover Wang Quantai's character.

Wang Quantai passed the test.

The fourth prince picked up the corner of his mouth, and when he thought of the Thirteenth prince's desire to "take an official", he felt a little uncomfortable. He raised his head, looked at the Thirteenth prince, and said, "Thirteenth brother, do you really want to take official position?"

The Thirteenth Prince nodded, smiled, and added a little solemnly, saying, "But I have this idea. Isn't the Fourth Brother trying to clear the kuyin and annoy the corrupt officials outside? But in the fourth brother's position, it is not appropriate to force court officials and foreign ministers too much, otherwise wouldn't it be a good deal for the third brother? Someone must come forward to help the fourth brother with the help of the fourth brother; he can also bear the infamy and preserve the reputation of the fourth brother."

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but feel moved, and he felt a little excited in his heart. He looked at the Thirteenth Prince and said, "Thirteenth Brother thinks this way?"

The Fourth Prince is also in a difficult situation. In recent years, we must maintain a "birth" attitude to the outside world. We cannot recruit disciples like other princes. The manpower used is limited, and we feel that we are not energetic.

If the Thirteenth Prince could become an official, he would only achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The Thirteenth Prince's face was no longer depressed, and there was a lot of glory. He patted his chest and said, "The Fourth Brother doesn't believe that the Thirteenth Prince will succeed? Although he has been idle for these years, his younger brother has not become a useless person? Now it is the time when the war in the Northwest has not yet settled. The court is short of money, and those corrupt officials have been born, relying on the kindness of the Emperor Ama to embezzle the silver in the treasury."

When the fourth prince's heart was mentioned, he immediately became cold when he heard the word "Northwest". He was not a person who could not express his emotions. In order to hide his strangeness, he quickly lowered his head.

After two years of preparation for war in the northwest, the war will not be over. When we advance westward, how can the military power be controlled by people from other families? At that time, there must be princes or royal princes in charge of the Eight Banners Camp.

If the Thirteenth Prince is regained the favor of the emperor's father, what will happen...

The fourth prince thought about it before clearing his throat and said, "Brother understands the thirteenth brother's feelings. But Cao Yong was right. Now the situation is unclear, and the emperor's temper is different from the past. Don't hurry before going to an official career, wait and see."

The Thirteenth Prince looked at the Fourth Prince and his heart was already sinking a little bit.

I just asked Cao Yong what he said, but he just said it casually, but it seemed that he had met the number.

But he was not at Mang Shisan back then, and he also learned to look at people's faces. He didn't show anything on his face. He just smiled and nodded and said, "Well, my brother knows..."

Although it was already 90% cold, Cao Yong was dressed warmly and was not cold. He struggled in his heart, and he advised the Thirteenth Prince to follow the general direction of history; he should take the course and look at the Thirteenth Prince's cultivation.

Now that the Eighth Prince is dead, maybe the Fourth Prince is not the true emperor. With the thirteenth Prince's temperament, if he can really ascend the throne, Cao Yong's life will be better.

Thinking of this idea, Cao Yong only felt his temples hopped and inexplicably a little excited.

Who doesn’t know that power is useful? Especially in this world, people without power are like ants, and their lives are not in their own hands; only by supporting power can they do whatever they want.

Fourth Prince, Thirteenth Prince, Fourth Prince, Thirteenth Prince...or Sixteenth Prince...

Cao Yong's mind flew around, and then Kangxi looked gloomy and he immediately woke up much. In his early years, he had read the stories of powerful officials in Qingliang Temple, and how could he have read less about this story of powerful officials in all dynasties? Where could there be a few good endings?

If you want to be a dealer, aren’t you looking for death?

Not far from Jinyu Hutong to Cao Mansion, Cao Yong rode his horse and arrived in two quarters of an hour.

There was a familiar figure at the gate of Cao's mansion.

Seeing this, Cao Yong turned over and dismounted, showing a little joy, and said, "I'm back again? It's good, I just went and wrote to you, there's good news."

Li Wei was full of shame and said, "Mr. Cao treats me, Li Wei, and I am fooling Master Cao for the sake of my false reputation. Today I come to apologize." As he spoke, he bowed.

Cao Yong felt much more relieved after hearing this.

This time, when I donated an official to Li Wei, I certainly had the idea of ​​making friends with this future rank-in master, and I also tried Li Weiyi's selfishness.

Li Wei was an open-minded person. For this "hidden illness", even if he was not afraid of his friend Jiang Jian, he had never hidden it from him. Cao Yong did this for him. If he could not be honest with each other, Cao Yong would know in his heart in the future, he was just a "gentleman friend".

If Li Weiru expressed so much about friendship, then Cao Yong would not mind helping him in his career outside his abilities.

This door is not a place to speak. Cao Yong helped Li Wei's next door and smiled and said, "What are you fooling around? If you apologize for not guilty, you will come to the mansion to speak."

While talking, the two entered the yard together.

The concierge, with a little joy, approached and said, "Uncle, Mr. Wei is back."

When Cao Yong heard this, he stopped and was overjoyed.

To be honest, in his heart, he was very dependent on Wei Hei. After all, since he was seven years old, Wei Hei has been guarding him. His desire to protect him has increased over the years, and he is a father and brother.

He turned around and smiled at Li Wei, "Ye Jie, I am really happy today. I asked someone to order the kitchen to prepare two tables of good dishes and to welcome the two tonight."

While speaking, Wei Hei had already received the news and knew that Cao Yong had returned to his house and stepped out of the courtyard.

All the time we met, we were very happy, and even Li Wei felt it was lively. There was a lot of people here...

Orchid Courtyard, go to the room.

Li was holding a boy with a treacherous head and brain, looking at him about the same age as Changsheng. He didn't recognize his life, staring at his big round eyes, looking around at people, his two little hands were not honest, and his fingers were always put into his mouth.

This child is Wei Hei's nephew, Wei Bai's third son Wei Yaohui. Wei Hei had no son for many years after marriage with Xiangcao. This time he went back to his hometown in Henan to worship his ancestors. When Wei Bai saw his brother's desolate knees, he adopted his third son as his elder brother.

Chu Yu stood in the chair and looked at the vanilla sitting next to him.

Maybe it was because I was tired from going out, and the vanilla seemed to be much clearer, but my eyes stuck to Yaohui and my whole body was much more vivid.

Li recognized the needle and thread on Yaohui's body, and smiled and said to Vanilla: "It's all you sewed? It looks more and more energetic, and it doesn't cry or make a fuss, it hurts. Has it been weaned?"

"I'm afraid my body is not strong, so I plan to let my nurse breastfeed for another half a year." Vanilla said with a smile.

Qi Niang stood beside Li, stretched out her hand, and touched Yaohui's little face.

Yaohui giggled, waved his little hand, grabbed Qi Niang's finger, and pulled it into his mouth to chew.

Qi Niang was itchy because she was chewed, so she quickly pulled her hand back and wrinkled her nose at Yaohui.

Changsheng was sitting aside, but when he saw everyone surrounding Yaohui, he was a little quit. He stood up, walked to Li staggeringly, and threw himself into Li's arms.

Yaohui was squeezed aside, not annoyed, and smiled silly with his two teeth exposed.

Changsheng is rare to see a playmate who is similar to his own, and he also has some novelty. He stretched out his little hand, approached Yaohui's mouth, and grabbed his embroidered bib.

After a while, the two children started to laugh and make a fuss.

When Li saw this, he became more and more happy. He put the two children on the kang and let them play on their own...

Qianmen, Daoxiang Village.

According to convention, although Han Jiang did not go through every day, she also visited every three or five days. She was born in a businessman and knew best what relaxed and moderate.

Even if you are promoted to a person who needs to be used, you cannot be a hand-off manager, otherwise it will easily lead to disadvantages. In addition, the Daoxiangcun business is a reputation, and the quality of the cake cannot be broken at all, so you have to keep a close eye on it.

After nearly an hour, Han Jiang checked a few buns, talked about the development of new buns with several masters, and asked the shopkeeper in front about the recent world.

After the handling was done, she still covered her veil and took the maid out, intending to take the carriage to the next shop. As soon as she walked to the carriage, Xiaofu put down the stool and wanted to help her, he saw someone approaching and saying, "Shopkeeper Han, our Jiu Ye is waiting in the teahouse opposite, please ask Manager Han to go over and talk."

Although he looks at life, he looks like a slave.

In recent years, as the business in Daoxiang Village has become better and better, there are many businesses who have taken the initiative to chat with Han Jiang. She was not interested in socializing and said lightly: "Although I don't know who this Jiu Ye is, the little woman still needs food in the world, so I won't be with her today..." As she spoke, she helped Xiao Fu's hand and wanted to get on the carriage.
