Chapter 991 Sunset (IV)

Fangjia Hutong, Duke's Mansion.

In the front hall, Seshtu was wearing a python robe, posing incense table, and kneeling to receive the imperial edict.

The moment he received the imperial edict, he was overjoyed, and his arms were trembling when he received the edict. The butler next to him had already prepared a silver seal and presented it to Zhao Chang with both hands.

This was the second family that Zhao Chang sent the imperial edict. Wu Erzhan did not send the imperial edict, so he did not delay. He said a few more words of congratulations and hurriedly left with the guards.

Seshtu personally sent Zhao Chang outside the gate, but when he returned to the mansion, his face disappeared without a smile.

Because after Zhao Chang issued the decree, he did not leave the imperial edict, Seshtu knew that this was not the will that was passed on to him alone. He asked casually, and knew that the twelfth prince and Wu Erzhan also accepted the edict.

"Congratulations to your master, when will you order wine be placed? The imperial edict is issued. At the latest, everyone will know the news about Master Gao Sheng tomorrow. Are the mansion preparing in advance?" The housekeeper bowed and followed behind him and asked.

Seshtu stopped and said, "What wine is served? More things are there..." At this point, he changed his words: "Let's just go tomorrow, no outsiders. Apart from the grandparents and wives of our family, we only invite a few uncles and uncles to come over, and it's lively."

The butler lowered his head and agreed, and went down to not mention it.

Seshtu walked in a hurry and went straight into the second gate, then headed northwest.

There is a jiaomen in the northwest, which is connected to the house next to the west. In the house to the west, his biological mother, Xitara, lives.

As soon as I arrived at the corner gate, I was facing Cao Yi.

When Cao Yi saw him, he was a little surprised: "Master, didn't you say that an internal official came to pass the imperial edict? You'll leave now."

Seshtu went to the West House to find his wife.

A hundred days later, Fu Ge'er, the second son of the Duke's Mansion, asked the couple to send them to the old lady in the West House. The weather turned cold these two days, and Fu Ge'er was a little uncomfortable, so Cao Yi went to take care of him during the day.

"He has left!" Seshtu said, and the couple turned back to the main room.

"This time I changed the throne, and they were all royal families. In addition, the eight banners and Manchu throne changed most of the eight banners. It was a bit wrong. It was just that I would have a drink tomorrow. You go to my uncle's house to deliver a post and see if my uncle has anything to say." Seshtu said.

When Cao Yi heard her husband say this, he was a little nervous: "Do you want the Eight Banners to order troops?"

The unhesitating thing about Kangxi's dragon body is not well known; the northwest cannot be defeated, the negotiations cannot be reached, and the stalemate lasted for several years, but Cao Yi knew it, so he guessed this way.

She is not an ambitious woman. Her mother-in-law and her two sons are still young. She really doesn't want her husband to travel far. If she had been there like the prince of Ping County Nersu sent troops to the northwest for seven or eight years, how could the old lady bear it?

"It would be great if I just go to war!" Seshtu sighed in his heart, afraid that his wife would worry, so he didn't say it, and said, "Who knows, the eldest brother is in Nanyuan, and he is close to Master Sixteenth, Master Sixteenth and the others, so the news may be more informative."

Seeing that her husband was solemn, Cao Yi did not delay and asked someone to prepare a carriage, change a cloak to go out, and head to Cao's mansion.

Chu Yu got the news and found out that when his third aunt came to her house, she was staring blankly at two small wooden boxes that were eight inches long.

These two wooden boxes were sent back by Xiaoman after Cao Yong's order. A total of two were sent, and Cao Yong also made a special request that Cao Yi loves to eat this and asked Chu Yu to send someone a box.

This box is not a rare thing, but a persimmon cake. This is a common candied fruit, and every family has it. Chu Yu always feels it is inappropriate to send it to the Duke's Mansion in a big way.

She didn't think too much, and thought it was because her husband went to Haidian Garden yesterday. The garden there was spacious and there were a lot of fruit trees planted. In addition to fresh fruits, there were also candied fruits.

"Huh?" Chu Yu heard that Cao Yi was coming now, and he became more and more confused when he looked at the two wooden boxes.

Such a coincidence?

Confused in her heart, she got up and went to Lanyuan to meet guests.

Orchid Courtyard, go to the room.

Li took Cao Yi's hand and was filled with joy: "The Duke of the State has been promoted. This is a great event. I should serve as a few days of wine!"

Cao Yi smiled and said, "Our grandfather doesn't like to show off, and he just wants his relatives to be lively. My mother wants her brothers and sisters to go for a walk. Our old lady is still talking about her mother coming in the morning."

"This is a good thing. If you don't call me, I will go over and make fun of you with your brothers and sister-in-law!" Li said with a smile.

When Chu Yu came in and heard the good news, he had to congratulate him again.

She came up with her worries and couldn't help but look at Cao Yi for a while and found that she was worried about her jokes.

Chu Yu found a yuzi and asked Cao Yi to take a seat at Wutongyuan.

Li knew that their sister-in-law had something to say, but she was not bothered. She just asked someone to prepare two of Cao Yi's favorite milk cakes to send them.

Back at Wutongyuan, Chu Yu sent all the maids, leaving only the sister-in-law and sister-in-law to speak.

Cao Yi's smile on his face disappeared and he said worriedly: "Sister-in-law, our grandfather said something was wrong. The decree came at the wrong time. I wonder what the palace means? Could it be that he wanted to ask me back and ask if my brother has any explanation?"

Hearing the word "explanation", Chu Yu couldn't help but frown and looked back at the wooden box on the kang table for a while.

"Sister-in-law?" Cao Yi called out in a low voice when he saw her not saying a word.

As if he had some insight, Chu Yu picked up the wooden box, pushed it to Cao Yi, and said, "It's a coincidence that before the third aunt entered the mansion, the master sent someone to send this back, and even gave her a big instructor to send her a box to her sister."

Cao Yi opened it and opened his eyes wide.

"This...this...this...sister-in-law knows what the elder brother means?" No matter how clever Cao Yi was, he could not see anything from this half box of persimmon cakes for a while.

Chu Yu shook his head without saying much.

Misfortunes come from the mouth, and some things are hard to tell even if they are your own family.

Cao Yi put away the small box and left with a little confused.

On the side of Li, someone asked Zhao Jia to come. Chu Yu was filial and it was difficult to go out for social events. Since it was a happy event for the third aunt's family, it was difficult to leave Zhao Jia...

As the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, Cao Yi is not an ignorant woman after all. His relatives and relatives talk, and sometimes he will bring about major events in the court.

When the carriage was approaching the Duke's Mansion, she looked down at the box and counted the number of persimmon cakes. She felt weak all over, and her heart was "thumping" and "thumping" in her heart...

*

Nanyuan, yard.

The Seventeenth Prince was wearing a travel suit and even showed some heroic appearance.

"Fortunately, I am not humiliating my fate!" Cao Yong bowed and said, "The memorandum has been sent back to the Ministry of Revenue. Before dark, I should be able to send some of the money to come. For the rest, the Seventeenth Master must send the officer of the Lifan Academy to collect it."

The Seventeenth Prince stared at Cao Yong's face and said with a little excitement: "Is this a memorandum a comment?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "I have approved it. The emperor not only criticized the memorials, but also seemed to have the orders to be passed on one after another. I saw several internal officials bringing the guards out of the garden."

It’s not that he talks too much, but that he knows that these words are not just that the Seventeenth Prince wants to hear, but there is also a Fourth Prince behind him.

It’s time to go, and Cao Yong will not be stingy if he can sell more benefits.

If you can approve the memorial, it means that the priest is still good; but if you pass the decree in succession... the Seventeenth Prince is a little confused.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since Furuo met Brother Sixteen...what is Brother Sixteen?"

Cao Yong replied carefully: "Maybe he is tired and looks a little tired, but he sees that there are more people waiting around him than in the past."

The Sixteenth Prince is impatient and restrained. Even if he is with people around him, he is probably Zhao Feng.

The Seventeenth Prince fought with Cao Yong for a long time. After hearing this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What do you mean?"

He could not guess whether there was any change in the imperial court and whispered: "Fruo, what do you think?"

Cao Yong showed a little seriousness, focused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't see through."

At this time, being a wise man is a fool.

The Seventeenth Prince said "Oh", but did not ask Cao Yong, and stood up and hurriedly left.

Cao Yong came back after sending the seventeenth prince back, sat on the desk and thought about all the things he had done in the past two days.

It seems that the Seventeenth Prince has completely relied on the Fourth Prince. For him, this is also a lucky thing.

He has exposed the inconvenience of movement of the Sixteenth Prince. If the Sixteenth Prince has any neglect to the Fourth Prince at this critical moment, the Fourth Prince will also be somewhat considerate.

The other side of Seshtu was also breathed through.

Cao Yong sighed, and he seemed to have nothing to worry about, just wait for news.

But he didn't know that on that day, the eunuchs who were ordered to return to the city to pass the order were not just those two groups.

At dusk, an eunuch held Huang Ling's bag and entered the gate of Cao's mansion.

Cao Yong put aside his worries and was listening to Hang Seng talking about the lively movement today.

During this tour, more than 15,000 people participated in the Khalkha kings, royal family kings, civil and military officials, and the Eight Banners Guardians. Although there were many people who could not catch up with the Mulan yard, the Nanyuan yard was limited, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping was spectacular.

Hang Seng shot a gun and hunted a yellow sheep and three rabbits. This result was not ideal, but Cao Yong knew Hang Seng’s riding and shooting skills. He could not tell the example, and it was almost the same.

There are few preys, but more because there are too many people.

Smaller prey is fine, but few people are robbed; larger prey, even if it hits, there will be more than one arrow feather on the prey.

Hang Seng's character will not take the initiative to compete with others for prey.

"My son is stupid, and he won't use it even if he has Hai Dongqing. The Fourth Master used Hai Dongqing to catch a live rabbit. It would be great if his son could catch it, and he would send it home for his sister to raise it." In the end, Hang Seng said with some insignificance: "There are too many people who shot the deer without hunting. My son promised to be a deputy 'Galaha' for his sister, and now he is going to lose his word."

Cao Yong said: "You are a 10-year-old, and your grades are already very good. If you send these prey back, the old lady and the wife will be happy."

When Hengsheng heard this, he was not happy. Instead, he hesitated and said, "Father... the messenger gave me a few deer, but I refused to accept it, and his housekeeper refused to take it away... How to return it?"

Geer Keyan Pile will leave Beijing in three days. Cao Yong will never let Hang Seng follow him, and Hang Seng himself will not choose to leave with him.

He understood this and hadn't come to look for Cao Yong again in the past two days.

The deer gifts were given to him today after hunting today, but there was no other purpose. It was just that when Hang Seng shot deer several times, he had others snatched away the prey and showed kindness.

Although Cao Yong didn't know the details, he had no intention of asking them to rebel.
