Chapter 748: Descendants (Tears Running for a Monthly Pass)
Hongjin is the identity of the emperor's grandson, and the funeral must be handled by the internal affairs office. However, Hongjin did not divide the seal, and according to what title to do the aftermath, it depends on the grace in the palace.
Over the years, Honghui was called Erbeile outside, but he did not ask for a seal through the Zongren Mansion, and it was an honorific title earlier. In addition, as the actual eldest son of the crown prince, I thought that when I was twenty years old, I would be able to officially title when I reached the grade where I asked for the title.
When Honghui was twenty, it happened to be the fifty-second year of Kangxi, and the next year of the prince's "two wastes", so the Zongren Mansion didn't bother to do that.
Honghui is not knighted, and Hongjin is naturally empty. After all, the older royal grandsons are either from the second elder brother's side or from the eldest elder brother's side.
As soon as Hongjin died, more people began to pay attention to his title.
According to the rules, the eldest son Hongyu on the eldest brother's side is already twenty-two, and the sister-in-law of the third elder brother's mansion, the eldest son of the fifth elder brother's mansion, and the eldest son of the seventh elder brother's mansion are all over twenty years old.
Whether it is the prince of the prince, the eldest son of the county king, or other titles, these elderly emperors and grandsons have all reached the age of age.
There was no movement in the palace for several days, and it was not until the "first seven" that the will came out, and Hongjin was buried according to the public grade of Feng'en Fuguo. This must lead to speculation among those who are interested, it seems that the second elder brother may really lose power, otherwise Hongjin would not even have a posthumous seal.
Because he died horizontally, he couldn't do anything in the palace, so he could only park the coffin in the temple. I heard that the guards who were going to guard him were all punished and killed with rods.
Even if Hongjin is not the son of a prominent prince's family, he is also the real grandson of the emperor, and someone must bear the wrath of the royal family to play the drama of "flesh and blood" thoroughly.
Cao Hao watched coldly, paying attention to Honghui's side.
It seems that the previous design has come to fruition, and Honghui really turned his attention to the third elder brother. The third elder brother was also involved in the "thief" of the previous days and the death of Hongjin, so he was a little wary of Honghui.
Now, I'm afraid that the third elder brother can't say it. In the early years, it was he who reported the harm of the big brother witch. Even if you want to play a good show of "brother, friend and brother" and "treat your nephew well" in front of the imperial father, it is estimated that no one will believe it.
After Cao Song had a fight between Xiong Ren and Bai Er, he remembered that there was another character that needed to be dealt with, that is, Du Mei, the daughter of Du Tian, who came forward to be the bitter master this time.
However, because the lawsuit was not filed in the end, Du Mei went out of the yamen, and then there was no trace of him.
He didn't know that since then, the housekeeper of a childless and daughterless family in Changping Caojia Zhuangzi has a bereaved "cousin niece". After three years of filial piety, the old couple was in charge, and recruited a young man in the village to be the "old son-in-law" for this "cousin niece", which is not to be mentioned later.
It was Cao Hao's manpower who arranged to place Du Mei in Changping.
Du Mei was sold by his father and was already a slave. Later, someone wanted to push her out of the head, so she left the country. All the traces of this have been erased.
Du Mei is just an ordinary village girl, perhaps because of the short time, she has not been blinded by hatred, or perhaps in the eyes of the poor people, it is already a blessing to be able to eat and drink enough, and she can't care about anything else.
Speaking of the Du family's ruin, it was indeed the Cao family's sin, but in addition to sympathy, Cao Hao also thought about taking precautions. Therefore, when he took Du Mei in, he still signed a buyout deed.
This is still the harvest when I watched "Dream of Red Mansions" in my last life, and the Cao family was defeated in the book, although there were inevitable factors of [***], but those few life lawsuits also served as the final catalyst.
Now that the Cao family has not fallen, with such a thing, a housekeeper can finish the cooking; When the Cao family is down, the same lawsuit may be able to ask for half of Cao Song's surname.
Whether it is who is behind Du Mei's scenes, or whether she has a grudge against the Cao family because of her father's death, it must always be under her nose.
Cao Song didn't think as carefully as his brother, but he was chaotic, and he also felt that he should hold this person in his hands. Maybe it's to make up for the guilt, but also to resolve grievances.
When he couldn't help but talk to his wife about it, Jinghui didn't agree with him.
After all, human lives are involved in the middle, I don't know what kind of belly this girl is, how can she think about being placed in the house. If you have any bad intentions, it is not a curse to put a fire on it or to sprinkle some medicine on your food.
Cao Song listened to it, and also felt that he had not thought it through.
He just told his wife that the housekeeper should be stricter in the future, and he could no longer let his wife mess around, otherwise the reputation of the Cao family would be ruined, not only the younger brothers and sisters would be implicated, but also the uncle and brother would be sorry.
Jinghui promised here, even if her husband didn't say it, she would pay attention. A few days ago, when she went to Xifu to ask for peace for the Li family, Chu Yu invited her to Wutong Garden and explained the stakes.
Because Hongjin is a younger generation, there are fathers and ancestors on it, so after asking for instructions from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he plans to be buried after stopping "Sanqi" in the temple.
Unexpectedly, Hongjin had not yet been buried, and Prince Yong's Mansion Ergege died of illness. This Gege Xing is the second concubine, but in fact, she is the only surviving daughter of the fourth elder brother.
This emperor's grandson Gege, like Chu Yu, is also Fengde and Shuogege, and Kangxi married Na Xingde in the fifty-first year. She was one year older than Chu Yu, and before she left the cabinet, the two cousins also had some contacts.
According to what Chu Yu said, this Gege's character is excellent, or he will not make the fourth elder brother and the fourth Fujin as the pearl of the palm. Even Mongolia was reluctant to marry her, and it was Sifujin who personally went to the palace to ask for grace and pointed her out to her nephew.
Unexpectedly, after only a few years of hard work, Ergege still passed away.
I don't know if it's because of excessive sadness, the fourth elder brother was ill, took leave, closed the door, became more and more "addicted" to Buddhism, and invited several famous lamas to return to the palace to worship.
I heard that he built a Buddhist hall in the palace, and he worked more in the Buddhist hall than in the inner house. Even Kangxi heard about it, and specially sent the sixteenth elder brother to Prince Yong's mansion to comfort the fourth elder brother.
It took half a month before the fourth elder brother reappeared in front of people. I don't know if it's because I'm sick, I've lost a lot of weight, and I'm getting weaker and weaker, and I have Buddhist beads wrapped around my wrist, which faintly means to be born.
is also in the household department, Cao Hao naturally has to deal with this master.
No matter how the fourth elder brother behaves, he is a little sincere, Cao Hao believes that he is really sad for the deceased daughter. This cold-faced prince who often has a gloomy face also has a gentle side, just like when he picked up Cao Hao by the West Lake.
After the "Meng Guangzu case" and the death of Hongjin, those ministers in the imperial court who saw that the emperor was old did not dare to act rashly.
The ownership of the storage location seems to be becoming more and more confusing.
It wasn't until April 17, when the Holy Driver was on the Empress Dowager's tour that things began to emerge. The third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the twenty elder brother followed, and the tenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother stayed in the capital.
You must know that since the fifty years of Kangxi's fight, after the tenth elder brother suffered from a serious illness, he has rarely paid attention to the political affairs of the imperial court, and he has never been on an errand in the sixth department. Brother Seventeen has been sick several times since last year, and his health is not very good. Now there are only fourteen elder brothers and sixteenth elder brothers who can produce princes in the capital who can manage political affairs.
The sixteenth elder brother is in charge of the internal affairs office, and the fourteenth elder brother is in charge of the military department.
The six official offices also wanted to make people follow, Cao Hao did not go in person, but was hand-picked by Chang Dai from above.
Don't think about it, this should be Kangxi's handiwork. It will take half a year to go to Rehe, how could he give Cao Hao such a long time to be lazy.
This is in Cao Hao's arms, the outside of the plug is cool, and Rehe is also a summer resort, but it is in conflict with Cao Hao's life. Over the years, every time I went to Rehe, there would be an incident, which was really bloody.
The day was getting hotter and hotter, and Cao Hao had already ordered Wu Mao to take care of the Haidian Garden. Waiting for the holy car to leave Beijing, he wanted to arrange for his parents and family to go over to cool off.
I don't know if it was a year ago that I took the children to Zhuangzi, which made the children want to be "free", and they were eager to try it when they heard that they were going to go out of the city.
Li was afraid that her husband would feel bored, so she was willing to live outside the city. The gardens on the left and right were also spacious, so Cao Hao told Mr. to bring all the children over, and Mr. also went over to teach.
In the past few months, Zhaojia's son has been very unhappy, and he is angry with his son.
It's nothing to beat Xiong Ren, Bai Er is the steward she called, and she feels that she has lost face. The most important thing is not this, but the dozens of catties of tobacco leaves collected from the shop, which Cao Song burned with fire.
I was so distressed that Zhao Jia's or something, I only felt that my heart, liver and lungs hurt, and I had a serious attack on Cao Song, and I had to scold when I saw it, and I had to scold it twice if I didn't see it.
Cao Song is a son, and no matter how dissatisfied he is, he doesn't dare to "disobey". Otherwise, don't say that Cao Yin can't tolerate it, even the foaming stars outside can drown him.
In the end, it was Jinghui who came forward and invited the Li family to explain the relationship to the Zhaojia family.
For Du Tian's lawsuit, the Li family has long been dissatisfied with Zhaojia's family. After all, what happened here, Xifu couldn't get out of it, and Cao Hao had to worry about it in the end.
Even if she sympathizes with Zhaojia's surname because of her widowhood, her surname is getting more and more unbearable, but after all, she is a loving mother and feels more sorry for her son.
Therefore, the Li family did not show mercy to Zhaojia's this time, and said directly: "Brother and sister, it is true that Xiao Wu is married, will he not be in the future?" The fourth sister and the fifth son are getting older, and it is only a blink of an eye to go out. For a few silver coins, do you really want the Cao family to bear the hat of 'being rich and unkind'? ”
Zhao Jiashi was still unconvinced at the beginning, and muttered when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, this is not a backache when you speak, we are not as rich as Xifu, and we always have to make people live." ”
Seeing that she still didn't know what was wrong, Li couldn't help but feel annoyed: "If my brother and sister say this, I won't be verbose." Aren't the younger brothers and sisters worried, can there be food and clothing in this house? Brother Song is a little stupid, but he is a filial child. Home and everything is prosperous, how many people in this capital are defeated in family affairs. Do your younger siblings have to force Brother Song to bear the name of 'disobedience' and lose their titles? The Du family's business, that's a human life, don't your younger siblings feel panicked? Amitabha. After speaking, he looked at Zhao Jia's and got up to leave.
I don't know if it was Li's words that played a role, but I still figured it out by myself, Zhaojia's finally stopped, and the next day he made a special trip to Xifu to ask Li for peace.
Seeing that she was in a state of malaise, Li was not only annoyed by her trouble, but also pity her for being widowed. In addition, he wanted to leave room for Jinghui to rectify the internal affairs of the Eastern Mansion, and after Li said to Chu Yu, he took her to the western suburbs to escape the summer.
In addition to Zhao Jia's family, the fourth sister and the fifth son also went, leaving Su Xin to assist Jinghui in housework.
Zhao Jia's behavior over the years is really annoying, but after all, she is the mother of Cao Song's brothers and sisters, she can't fight or kill, and it's not good to let it go.
It's just that Cao Hao didn't want to indulge her anymore, so he recited it several times in front of his mother, and asked his mother to put the score of the eldest sister-in-law. Otherwise, the surname of Zhaojia will become more and more crooked, and what will be affected is the children of the second room and the reputation of the Cao family.
Li had already made up his mind in his heart to take watching Zhao Jiashi as one of his errands, and no longer let the children bother.
* After the Cao family moved to Haidian Garden, Cao Hao asked the Yamen to work as an errand every time, but he also lived in Haidian Garden. Because the holy driver was not in Beijing, he was exempted from the suffering of the big court meeting and the small court meeting, and he went to the yamen in the late morning, and he had no involvement.
It's just that Cao Hao, as a small leader, is okay to be late once or twice, but it is easy to attract criticism if there are too many times. So, wake up early.
So soon as the morning dawned, he would get up and go from Haidian to the city; After the ya, go out of the city and go to the garden. After half a month, seeing a lot of reduction, Chu Yu was very distressed, and wanted to move back to the city to live, but was persuaded by Cao Hao.
Every time he rode a horse back and forth for two hours, Cao Hao felt much more comfortable.
Cao Song, as a guard from the outside class, did not follow him, and was still stationed in the garden, so it was convenient to leave Cao's homeland, and he came to greet his relatives and elders every once in a while.
This day, he brought good news, that is, Cao Xiang came to the family letter, and Lu Ju gave birth to a son, and the mother and son were safe. In addition to announcing the good news to the elders, the letter also asked the uncle to give the child a name.
In this society, the reproduction of children and grandchildren is a family matter.
Cao Yin was originally a little dissatisfied with the nephew who gave up his career in the imperial examination, but a year has passed, and he has long been out of business. This time, he was also very happy to hear that he had added a nephew and grandson, and drank several more drinks that night.
The only regret in his heart is that his son did not have a wide range of wives and concubines, otherwise the long house would not have withered like this. But the daughter-in-law has a noble status and gave birth to the eldest grandson Tianyou, who is a father-in-law, and it is not easy for him to say anything.
It's just that when he was settled, he mentioned to his wife whether he wanted to hire a doctor to give his son and daughter-in-law a good pulse diagnosis to see if he could regulate it well.
He always remembered the "dream" that Cao Hao said back then, the long house was worried about the heir, and the nephew of the second room inherited the incense.
Li knew that her husband's heart disease was due to the news of the addition of a grandson in the second room.
After hesitating for a long time, she whispered to her husband: "Master, the emperor is a few years older than the master, but in the past few years, he has added several little brothers in a row...... Otherwise, pick two girls from the house and stay by the master's side to wait......"
Cao Yin listened, only felt that most of the wine had woken up, and "coughed" twice: "Ridiculous! The grandsons have run all over the ground, and they still take concubines, what kind of physique ......"
Li survived from his daughter-in-law back then, and after giving birth to a son, he was pointed down by the old lady. Comparing her heart to her heart, she really didn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer her own sin again. said this, because he knew that his husband cherished his reputation and would not take a concubine in the year of Jiazi, so he used this to plug his husband's mouth.
After a while, hearing that her husband was still sighing for a long time, Li Shi was a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "I heard that there is a good medicine in the Tai Hospital, and the fifteenth side of Fujin was conceived after eating the prescription over there, so I rushed to ask the people to ask ......."
