Chapter 1201: The Six Grids of King Jian's Mansion (I)
Listening to what the sixteenth elder brother said, Cao Hao finally put his mind at ease.
After all, it is to marry into the grandmaster, not to marry into the royal family, even if there is an additional prince Fujin, it will not make the royal family jealous.
Prince Yu's mansion has won the knighthood twice in three years, and even if Guanglu attacks the knighthood, he is only honest and honest. The cousins and brothers of this sect can't be counted on, and the distant sect can't be connected for a while, so he will definitely not slack off on his wife's family.
From this point of view, the fourth sister is really a blessed person.
Seeing Cao Hao smiling at Mimi, the sixteenth elder brother glanced at him and said, "If the emperor really refers to Chang Fujin, what will happen to Fu Ruo?" ”
Cao Hao's face froze, speechless.
If there really is such a will, as a courtier, he has no room to refuse. It's just that even if the cousin is a side room, she is not allowed to be treated slowly, and if she is really troubled, her mother's side will come out.
It's just that it's not interesting in the end.
If the name is not correct and the words are not good, his nephew will live under the royal family as a concubine and a concubine.
Perhaps after coming to this world, Cao Hao lived as the eldest son and grandson, and was accustomed to thinking about problems from the lineage.
For those who divide the noble and the low by their descendants, Cao Hao is open, and he never despises those who are concubines; But in his heart, he has a different view about his concubine.
The primogeniture inheritance system is important for the family and the country in this era. The identity is determined, and the situation of the sons fighting each other is curbed.
The sixteenth elder brother's expression also became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "The fifth girl of your family is the Shu Fujin of Hongli, this, in the future, ...... If there is a little brother, how will the Cao family ......?"
Cao Hao only felt that his eyelids jumped, if the general direction of history remained unchanged and Qianlong lived to eighty-eight, then even if Wu'er gave birth to a high-ranking prince, he would not be able to afford it.
Unless, Qianlong did it earlier, what ...... "It's all a shadowless thing, how can the sixteenth master talk about this?" "It's hard to say this question, Cao Hao can only play haha.
The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao and said, "Hmph, there will always be times when you can't calm down......
I don't know if there was a daughter of the Cao family as a palace concubine in the original history, but Cao Hao remembered clearly that it was a fifteenth prince born in his later years who succeeded Qianlong.
The princes in front of him, those who died of illness, and those who succeeded him, there were few who survived to the abdication of Qianlong.
The fact that relatives support the prince to seize the heir is not uncommon in all dynasties, and it is not a suitable deal.
Most of the princes who ascend to the emperor's throne have to clean up their mothers when they turn around, which is also the practice of "rabbits and dead dogs".
After all, if you are really humane and soft-hearted, you won't be able to get to that position.
The father and brother are ruthless, and if they only talk about the human touch of the mother, it will be too nonsense.
Cao Hao has always been lazy, how could he bother to do this? Although he had never seen Suo Etu and Mingzhu, he was very familiar with the deeds of those two.
It's just that the world is really as smooth as Cao Hao thinks?
If history really turns a corner, what will happen to Cao Hao?
At this moment, the two people in the carriage, one of them said it casually, and the other was joking, but they forgot what it meant to "make a prophecy".
Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, Cao Hao suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Between the two, there is no taboo in words, but the sixteenth elder brother is not a person without a target.
"Shu Fujin, there's news?" Cao Hao asked.
The sixteenth elder brother shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the other Shu Fujin of the elder brother has a happy pulse." The news reported that the emperor and the queen were very happy, and they rewarded the fortune of the concubine heavily. The people in the palace are used to praising the high and stepping on the low, and the five girls are afraid that they will be sad. ”
Hongli is sixteen this year, and there are already two concubines around him, as well as a few concubines, but no palace person is pregnant, which also makes the emperor and queen very worried.
Especially after the emperor fell seriously ill this autumn, he attached great importance to the heirs around Hongli and Hongday.
In this year's draft, for the sake of the dignity of the prince Fujin, in addition to pointing out the wives of the two princes, he did not refer to Fujin, but there were several Gege and concubines.
Although the reputation is not high, the emperor's desire for the two princes to spread out is obvious.
Even if the status is low, if the emperor and grandson are born at this time, he will be named in front of the emperor. Even if Changfu enters the palace next year, he will be polite to the emperor's grandson's biological mother.
Cao Hao is not worried about Wu'er, if Wu'er really gives birth to Hongli's eldest son, it will be on the cusp.
"With the sixteenth master taking care of you, even if you are sad, where can you be sad?" Cao Hao smiled.
Seeing Cao Hao's frankness, the sixteenth elder brother couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The fourth girl has become the prince of Fujin, and the prominence of the Cao family is not now, but in the future." Unless the five girls don't give birth to a grandson, the Cao family will always have to mix in, and they must know how much. ”
This is a sincere warning, Cao Hao restrained his smile and nodded solemnly.
Speaking kung fu, the carriage has arrived at Cao's mansion.
Cao Hao had already sent someone back to spread the word, so when the sixteenth elder brother followed Cao Hao into the Orchid Courtyard, the Li family had already changed his clothes and was waiting under the corridor, and Chu Yu was standing behind his mother-in-law. There was a thirteen or fourteen girl standing next to her, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a graceful posture.
Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother had arrived, Li leaned down and bowed.
Seeing this, the sixteenth elder brother hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward to support the Li family, and said, "How many times have you said it, Mrs. Tai is still so polite, isn't it tormenting me?" ”
The eldest sister and younger brother of the two were familiar with each other, so the sixteenth elder brother helped the Li family and entered the house together.
"I wanted to go to the concubine Niangniang to say goodbye, but I didn't dare to act lightly, I didn't expect the concubine Niangniang to remember the old man's birthday, so she made a special trip to send Xiangyu over." Li pointed to the girl and said with some gratitude.
That's right, this girl is Li Xiangyu, who was elected to the palace a few years ago.
The sixteenth elder brother said with a smile: "That girl has been by Eniang's side for a few years, and Eniang likes it very much, and now even me and the fifteenth brother have to lag behind." E-Niang said that since she was taken out of the palace, she should have arranged for her to be reunited in addition to the palace. But I really love this girl and want to stay for another two years. If Mrs. Tai is not annoyed by Eniang robbing people, Eniang said that this girl's life will also be covered by Eniang. ”
These words involved Xiangyu's life, and Xiangyu couldn't stay anymore, so she blushed and pulled Chu Yu's sleeve, bowed in a low voice, and withdrew.
Concubine Mi was originally an in-law of the Li family, and was sent to the palace by Li Xu, and she always held gratitude to the Li family.
Treating Xiangyu so favorably, although it is related to Xiangyu's suppleness, well-behaved and lovely, most of them still miss the old love of the Li family and want to reciprocate.
Although she is out of the palace to be raised, the fifteenth elder brother is in a delicate situation, and she is not good at helping the Li family.
Li Shi knew it in his heart, and his face was already showing a little gratitude, and said: "It is a blessing for this girl to be favored by the concubine, and it is too late for the old body to rejoice, where will there be anything to talk about?" ”
The birthday gift given by Concubine Mi was already sent by the two grandmothers in the morning, and Xiangyu arrived at that time.
The sixteenth elder brother went down first and came over in person, although he explained the matter of Xiangyu, but he also gave the Li family dignity.
That night, the sixteenth elder brother accompanied the Li family to dinner, which was regarded as an early birthday greeting.
Xiangyu stayed at Cao's house, and returned to the fifteenth brother's mansion after ten days.
The next morning, Cao Hao dressed neatly, went up and down the family, and went to the Orchid Courtyard to pay respects.
Li changed into a flag costume with a jujube red longevity pattern, embroidered with the pattern of "Five Blessings Holding Longevity" on the hem of the placket, and also wore a long hairpin with beads inlaid with Wanfu Wanshou on his head, which made him look more loving and peaceful.
Even if you don't invite outsiders, only relatives and friends, there will be a lot of people who want to come to celebrate your birthday today.
Cao Hao also went to the palace to congratulate him on his longevity, and he had to go to the yamen again to take a turn before he could come back, so he explained the hospitality to Tianyou and Hengsheng.
Tianyou and Hengsheng listened carefully, sent their father out of the door, and then went to a few housekeepers to discuss the matter of welcoming guests.
Today is the 59th birthday of the Li family, and it is also the 490,000th birthday of the emperor.
According to the folk saying, "Ming Nine" and "Dark Nine" are all Kan'er, Li narrowly lost his beloved son, and the eldest son was almost implicated, and he already had a fear in his heart, and after returning to Beijing, he gave up five hundred taels of silver to the temple, lit ten Changming lanterns, and ate Changzhai himself.
Yongzheng's side, although he did not care about his children and grandchildren like Li and prayed to the Buddha, he also experienced the fragility of life.
He couldn't forget that he was in a coma in bed in the Old Summer Palace, he was so anxious, but he couldn't open his eyes no matter what.
He wanted to see the thirteenth elder brother, but the queen made the decision to let him "recuperate", and even the thirteenth elder brother was turned away.
Yongzheng sat on the dragon chair in the main hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the queen led the harem concubines in front of him to congratulate him on his longevity.
Looking at the bright yellow auspicious dress on the queen's body, Yongzheng only felt very dazzling.
When the concubine stepped aside, the next birthday was celebrated by several princes and a few Gege who were raised in the palace...... After the prince and the gege congratulated him on his birthday, Yongzheng moved to the Taihe Hall to accept the congratulations of the princes and ministers.
The dull court ceremonies and tedious ceremonies were high on the dragon chair, accepting the worship of the princes and officials, but Yongzheng's heart became heavier and heavier.
Seeing that it was the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, Yongzheng suddenly felt a little afraid...... After congratulating in the palace, he went to the household department to participate in a ministerial meeting, and Cao Hao hurriedly returned home.
It was already noon, and the relatives and friends who congratulated him on his birthday had almost arrived. Cao Xiang also came back from the Hanlin Academy, taking Tianyou and Hengsheng to accompany the guests.
In addition to the two aunts and grandmothers of the Cao family, there are also relatives such as the Zhu family, the Li family, and the Sun family, as for the Wei brothers and the Zuo Cheng brothers, they came to the house as grandchildren to celebrate their birthdays.
Rao didn't invite outsiders, inside and out, more than a dozen tables were also set up, and it was serious and lively.
During the banquet, what everyone paid the most attention to was the marriage of the fourth sister, and they couldn't congratulate Zhao Jia's family a few times.
Zhao Jiashi smiled from ear to ear, and when he looked at Cao Yi, he was a little proud.
The difference between the two is the difference between the two and the other.
I haven't heard of a girl from a family who will marry better than her sister-in-law.
Cao Yi was lucky and married General Feng'en, but he got the title of Duke of Yanzhi; The fourth sister's luck was better, and she pointed it out to an untitled princess brother, and she became a prince in a blink of an eye.
Cao Yi was suddenly unenlightened, pulled his sister-in-law Chu Yu, and whispered something.
When Chu Yu heard this, his face was still smiling, but his expression became a little solemn, and he confessed to Mrs. Zhu next to him and left the table with Cao Yi......
