I don't know if Cao Fu deliberately arranged several stewards who came to Qingyuan to send gifts, one of them was named Qin Geng, who was Cao Fu's long-term follower.

"Did your lord explain before you came? Okay, why do you want to release it again? Cao Hao summoned Qin Geng and asked, "Is there someone in the yamen who bullied the door, or is there something wrong with the family?" ”

"If you go back to the old man, the yamen is fine, and the house is too peaceful. Before the little one left the capital, our lord had instructed that if the eldest man asked why our lord wanted to be released, let the little one tell the truth. It is only said that the old lady went to the second master, and there are still four masters in the capital, which is when our master is lax. Otherwise, if there is no such thing in this village, you may have to be detained in Beijing for the rest of your life. Qin Geng said.

Cao Hao listened to it and couldn't help it.

This is just like what Cao Fu can say.

With Cao Fu's surname, he is not in the officialdom. It's just that the boy grew up and had the responsibility of supporting his family, so he also embarked on a career in office. is confined to the six parts, and it is difficult for him.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao's heart was settled, and he waved his hand to send Qin Geng down, and began to think carefully about the matter.

The general judge is an auxiliary official of the sixth grade, who is in charge of fields, water conservancy, litigation, grain transportation and other matters under the prefect; Zhizhou is in charge of the seal, Sanzhou only governs one place, and the responsibilities are similar to those of Zhixian, and Zhili Prefecture has several counties under its jurisdiction, and the responsibilities are similar to those of the prefect.

The former can hone the heart surname, and the latter can become familiar with the system.

Even if you don't talk about the difference between high and low grades, Cao Hao belongs to the position of Zhizhou.

The palm seal official is at ease, and he doesn't have to be like an auxiliary officer who should be half of his mind and the chief officer. Not to mention that Shanxi is now under the rule of Yiduli, and Cao Fu has served in the past, so he doesn't have to worry about being bullied.

As for Cao Fu's limited experience, whether he can be a parent in any place, Cao Hao is not worried. As long as you hire a few good masters, you won't be able to make big mistakes.

Cao Hao thought so, but he didn't directly make up his mind for Cao Fu, but listed the differences and responsibilities between the two in the reply letter, and let Cao Fu make his own ideas.

After writing the letter, Cao Hao began to worry again.

If Cao Fu can't find a suitable master from the capital, will he call a few from the Governor's Palace?

Immediately, Cao Hao felt that he was troubled again, even if Cao Fu was the youngest cousin, he was twenty-four this year, and he was not a milk doll. When I was so old, I had already mixed with several yamen...... A few days later, after receiving Cao Fu's second letter, Cao Hao really couldn't cry or laugh.

In Cao Fu's letter, he first thanked his cousin for his support, and then he was cheeky and dignified. Ask Cao Hao to help and hire a few old masters to accompany him. As for the people recommended by his relatives in the capital, he is not a don't.

Even if you go out to enjoy the relaxation, you don't want to ask an uncle to press on your head.

Although Cao Hao hated that Cao Fu's surname was too lazy, he also saw that his little cousin was indeed only a distraction as a foreign officer, and he had no intention of running officialdom.

For a while, Cao Hao really didn't know whether to envy, or worry, envy Cao Fu's indifferent and free heart, worried that he was so careless about the eunuch journey, and he would lose his caution when he arrived in the place.

However, Cao Hao is not a person who worries about the sky, and his worries are only in the blink of an eye.

There are a few elder brothers, even if Cao Fu really makes a mistake in office, he can protect him, what else is there to be afraid of...... * Beijing, Cao family, Dongfu.

took his cousin's name card and gave out another 3,000 taels of silver, Cao Fu finally made up for the lack of the governor of Puzhou, Shanxi, and was relieved.

At present, it is the thirteenth elder brother who is in charge of the official department, and with the relationship between the Cao family and the thirteenth elder brother, if Cao Fu goes to the door of the thirteenth elder brother, it may be just a matter of one sentence.

But Cao Fu thought about it again and again, and decided not to ask for the thirteenth elder brother.

I was just about to use it on the blade, and I cheekily begged the thirteenth elder brother, so why don't I wait for the thirteenth master to help when the Cao family really has something to do in the future.

Although he said it eloquently in his letter to his cousin, in fact, the matter of the release did not alarm everyone in Beijing, and it is still hidden.

It wasn't until the matter was finalized that Cao Fu told his wife Su Xin.

Su Xin listened to it, she was stunned, these husbands occasionally mentioned the scenery outside Beijing and praised it, and she yearned for it, she listened to it in her ears, and only thought that her husband was envious of the outgoing brother.

In addition, although he is from Zhili, he was actually born and raised in Jiangning, and seeing that his mother and sister-in-law had the opportunity to go south, Xu Shi also had the idea of "homesickness".

But I didn't expect it to be released.

Seeing her husband's gentle face, Su Xin only felt that something was wrong, she raised her head suddenly and said, "Master, you are ......"

Cao Fu didn't say much, only smiled and said: "There is chaos in Beijing, while the old lady is going to the south, let's also find a quiet place and be comfortable for a few years." ”

Su Xin only felt that her chest was hot, and when she looked at her husband, she couldn't say a thousand words, so she could only turn into a line of hot tears and slide down her face...... When Cao Xiang heard about this, he was dumbfounded: "Release? Why did the fifth brother seek a vacancy? ”

Although the Cao family has two brothers who are released as officials, they are different from Cao Fu.

Cao Hao has a good way of making money, and he is good friends with the thirteenth elder brother, even if he is not the emperor's confidant, he is also a person that the emperor can trust and rely on. Coupled with his many years in the position of the second grade, it is not too unusual to be released.

Cao Song is because of his age, he sent a third-class guard to become a first-class guard, and he has been a guard for more than ten years, and there is no room for promotion around the emperor, so it is better to go to the local area to enjoy happiness.

Cao Fu has not finished the errand of the first principal, so he will be "released" at this time, that is, comparing relationships and throwing money.

Seeing Cao Xiang's surprise, Cao Fu had to carefully explain the reasons he had mentioned to Cao Hao before.

Cao Fu's words were sincere, which made Cao Xiang feel a little guilty. It was only when he was really detained a few years ago that he had such expectations for the outside world.

Among the three brothers in Dongfu, Cao Song went out with the army in his early years and spent several years; Cao Xiang had foreign appointments before and after the Jinshi examination, and most of the Dongfu were handed over to Cao Fu.

He was young, he was originally an elegant son of a family who was involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he became a big housekeeper, and he was worried about trivial matters in the house inside and out...... * In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A family banquet was held in Dongfu, and after Hengsheng got out of school in the palace, he was also taken to Dongfu by Cao Fu.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and this is true.

added a grandson, plus he was about to leave Beijing and return to Jiangning, and he would be the wife of the General Military Mansion in the future, and Zhao Jia's mood was very good.

Not only did he not give his concubine and daughter-in-law face, but he was far more loving to Hengsheng than he used to be.

Hang Seng was a little flattered, and he was originally happy to eat a reunion dinner for Zhaojia's family.

After another ten years in a hurry, after the sky was full of hope, Zhao Jia's and Jinghui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their servants and went south on the boat.

Among the officials of the Internal Affairs Office who accompanied the ship, there were Su Xin's uncle and Dong Dianbang's concubine. Cao Xiang and Cao Fu, brothers, begged him to help take care of them.

Cao Fu held the appointment document in his hand, and he had been waiting for half a month, but he was afraid of informing Zhaojia in advance and causing an incident, so he couldn't bear to say anything, and only asked people to prepare the luggage and belongings.

The road is far away, and I have to stay in Qingyuan on the road, so it is not good to delay any longer.

When his mother and sister-in-law left Beijing, Cao Fu took his wife and left Beijing. Stepson Tianhu, because of his studies, still stayed in the capital and did not go with him.

By the time relatives and friends heard about this, Cao Fu and his entourage were already about to arrive in Qingyuan.

Qing Yuan, Governor's Palace.

Cao Hao looked at the imperial pen in front of him, and only felt that his brain hurt: "I live well in Zhangjiakou, why did the emperor think of tossing him to Qingyuan?" ”

Jiang Jian and Song Hou also smiled bitterly, King Dunjun was no longer treated by the emperor, and he was also the emperor's younger brother, and he still had a knighthood on his body.

Even if Cao Hao is the governor of Zhili, he can't snub the king of Dunjun, otherwise he will attract the same hatred of other clans, and that is why he can't find it comfortable; If you really want to be courteous to the king of Dunjun, maybe the one in the palace will be annoyed.

The enmity of seizing the heir, even if it is a biological brother, is afraid that it will be difficult to resolve.

There seems to be such a period in history, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he cleaned up the party of the eighth elder brother. But now that the eighth elder brother has been dead for many years, and no one has come forward to fight him, it won't be so ruthless, right?

"Two gentlemen, do you have any advice?" Cao Hao looked at Jiang Jian and Song Hou and said.

"You can place it in the Yin Hotel, and the rest don't need to be worried about adults, there will always be someone watching." Song Houdao.

Jiang Jian's opinion is similar to Song Hou's.

Although Cao Hao didn't know how Yongzheng thought of his half-brother, as a subordinate, he had no choice, so he had to make someone clean up the Yin Hotel, increase the number of guards, and just wait for the arrival of the tenth elder brother.

Unexpectedly, before the tenth elder brother arrived, Cao Fu's family of three arrived.

Although compared with the other brothers, Cao Fu, the governor of the state, really has no weight, but he was raised by the Li family when he was a child, and he was closest to his aunt.

The Li family also loves Cao Fu the most among all the nephews, even if they all start a family, they only treat him as a child, and they have to babble and talk about it several times.

Because Cao Fu had written before, Cao Hao's manpower had been prepared.

Compared with the governor's yamen, the Zhizhou yamen is a little shabby. Who is willing to give up the opportunity to be in the Governor's Mansion and sit on a cold bench in the Zhizhou Yamen.

If it weren't for Cao Hao's generosity, he privately promised that if this appointment was good, he would recommend everyone to go on errands, so that several staff members with different strengths willingly changed their courts...... In the afternoon of the same day, the Governor's Mansion set up a table and set up wine to wash the dust for Cao Fu and his wife.

In the evening, Chu Yu said to Cao Hao: "Master, there seems to be something wrong with the fifth uncle and fifth aunt. The girls and mothers-in-law around the fifth aunt are all fresh faces, I don't know if there is something going on in the Beijing Mansion, do you want to ask someone back to Beijing to inquire? ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "What did the fifth brother and sister say?" ”

"I just said that I didn't worry about Tianhu, and I left the few girls and mothers-in-law who had to be used around me in Beijing to take care of Tianhu." Chu Yu said.

The reason sounds good, but both husband and wife know that this is a "pretext".

Thinking of Cao Fu's excitement in the past two days, it was really like a bird leaving the cage, and he suddenly rushed up to receive it, and Cao Hao decided not to investigate the matter in detail.

Cao Fu and his wife stayed in Qingyuan for two days, and because they were not far away, they hurried away again.

At the same time, the tenth prince of the first emperor, the half-brother of the present, the king of Dunjun drove to the Qing Yuan City......*
