Old Yongqing was arrogant when he was young, and he was tired of righteousness when he was young. was driven by the family and gradually became gloomy.

Cao Meiyuan was also worried that he would be depressed by the unfair rewards and punishments of the imperial court, but what he didn't expect to see was the confident and determined Yongqing.

After the baptism of battlefield career, Yongqing, a dusty pearl, finally exudes a dazzling light.

His posture stood like a mountain, between his eyebrows and eyes. It is an open-mindedness after going through hardships.

This is his friend, Cao Po only felt that his chest was hot.

Yongqing found himself again.

Yongqing was also looking at Cao Dipping the corners of his mouth and grinning in his ears. A cheerful laugh followed.

One of the four joys of life, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country. Not to mention a young friend who is like a brother.

"Just now, I wondered if I had heard the errand, but it was really you!" Yongqing took a big stride. Walking up to Cao Mei, his face couldn't hide his joy.

Cao Yiban smiled, looked at Yongqing and said, "Fire refining real gold!" After a few years, it's a bit of a general's heroism! ”

"Hahaha, if I hadn't come over in time for the battlefield, I would have killed seven of them at a time when I entered Tibet with Yue Junmen!" Yongqing said with a smile: "When the eldest husband is alive, there is nothing more joyful!" ”

Seeing that he was proud, Cao Wei said, "Oh." How about the details, come and tell us? ”

Yongqing was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm not showing off, I just want to tell you that I'm doing well." Merit or not, don't care about it, as long as you can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, don't demote me back to the capital. I'm satisfied! ”

After Yongqing's reward was ignored by the imperial court, Cao Mei once sent a letter to Yongqing, except for gossip, the rest was mostly encouraging, just for fear that he would cause something wrong when he was depressed.

He knew that letters were exchanged in the Northwest Army. Yongzheng will definitely make people watch.

After all, the fourteenth elder brother has led the army for many years, and there are many princes of the clan, so it is common for Yongzheng to be afraid of the exchanges between the capital and the Northwest Army.

Cao Wei knew the content of his letter. Someone will copy it and send it back to Beijing, but it will still be handed out. The purpose is to let Yongzheng know the relationship between the two.

As long as Yongzheng knows or remembers the past between Yongqing and Cao Yi, he will know that although he and the fourteenth elder brother are in-laws, they are not close. When people observe it, or when Yongqing makes new contributions, Yongzheng has no need to restrain him.

Where does Yongqing know the bends and corners of this. Just when Cao Mei was worried about himself, he didn't wait for the old time, so he told him that he was okay first, so that he didn't have to worry about it.

"The blade of the sword is sharpened, and now Brother Shanyu is already out of the box, there is no need to fight for a long time, Brother Shanyu will be the door tiger, and he will be taught by the old uncle himself when he is young, and he will always be successful and famous, and he will be crowned the day of his wife and son." Cao Liang said firmly.

Yongqing was embarrassed to be praised and said, "I don't dare to praise it seriously, I've only been practicing for a few years, it's nothing." Think about it before in Beijing, where can you lead troops? If it is said that the gate is a tiger, only Yue Junmen deserves it. ”

Although Cao Mei was in Beijing, he had also heard of the war in the northwest.

The so-called large army entered Tibet and put down the rebellion, but in fact only the vanguard troops fought the enemy; By the time the follow-up army arrived, the Dzungars had already fled. They were just a walk around Tibet to intimidate the local Tibetans and lamas.

Those who really annihilated the enemy and made meritorious contributions were all soldiers of the vanguard troops, and the vanguard officer was Yue Zhongqi. If you are a clan or a Manchurian noble, you have to be rewarded with a knight for such a military exploit, because Yue Zhongqi is a Han army, and the land is not high, and this military merit is the majority. Let the clan nobles of the Chinese army divide it.

fading away from the excitement of reuniting old friends, Yongqing found that there were still two and a half children in the house.

A long eyebrow and thin eyes. handsome in appearance, with a bit of scrimination in his eyes; One had dark eyes. The face is full of closeness.

"This is my good nephew!" Yongqing looked at the latter, and couldn't help but show a bit of light

Tianyou had already taken two quick steps, and when he came to Yongqing, he hit Qian'er and said, "My nephew has seen my father." Uncle, please! ”

Yongqing grabbed his arm and helped him up. said: "An, An, eleven passed the boy's test, and I should be an uncle to mention it to others." We are all proud! Children of the family, how many people can have such a good reputation as my nephew? ”

Tian Yi laughed twice and said: "Uncle, my nephew is ashamed, this department is over, and the township test is the first!" ”

After the enlightenment of his parents, Tianyou's horizons have also widened, and he is no longer as entangled in fame as in the past. Therefore, when it comes to the matter of falling behind, it is also calm.

Yongqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you fall first, you will fall first, and compete for fame with those poor scholars." It's not interesting. Those officials who were born in the imperial examination, and in the year of their establishment, they can take the Jinshi exam and make up for the county order, which is quite smooth; Your father's grace is now from the second grade of the Jingtang, and he is not much more comfortable than them; We Yue Junmen. It's not from the imperial examination, and it's a miscellaneous donation, who can underestimate it now? ”

In Tianyou's heart, he still wants to take the road of the imperial examination. Not for the side. Just to set an example for his younger brothers.

He now has no earlier gains and losses, and after this experience, he also has some understanding. If you want to be on the list, not only must you be familiar with the four books and five classics, but you must also be able to make bright eight strands. Shan Hao thought that he also knew that Yongqing's words were comforting himself. Said with a smile! "Got it!"

Yongqing looked at the sky, but the more he looked at it, the more he loved it.

He thought of his own sons and daughters, fifteen daughters and eleven sons.

If it weren't for the death of the first emperor, the eldest daughter Ying'er would have participated in the Eight Banners draft when she was thirteen years ago. Earlier, the fourteenth elder brother had the intention of marrying and wanted to hire Ying'er as the main room for the third son Songying.

The fourteenth elder brother-in-law, Hongming, married the eldest daughter of Luo Yantai, the elder brother of the fourteenth Fujin and the cousin of Yongqing.

The two families are close to each other, and there is really no need to remarry. When the fourteenth elder brother said such things, he was also optimistic about Yongqing and did something to win over.

After all, with Yongqing's title and official position, it is impossible for his daughter to participate in the draft, and it is impossible to refer to someone who is too noble; But she is also the granddaughter of the county lord. There is the blood of the Aixin Jueluo family, and it is impossible to refer to it as a side room. Most of them are clan generals, or the second sons of Lord Eight Banners.

Yongqing didn't want to climb high, his sister was referring to the clan, and she looked decent. There are many rules in the clan, and they attach importance to the reproduction of their children and grandchildren, and the main room of the wife is mostly furnishings.

He only said that his daughter prevaricated in the past. In a letter to Cao Yi. I specially asked him to help to see if I could ask Sixteen Fujin to help in the next draft so that Ying'er could pick up the brand.

Originally, he should have begged his sister-in-law, but Prince Jian's palace family who could speak to Fujin was fourteen.

Fourteen Fu Jin can't wait to marry a few more daughters-in-law from the Wanyan family, where will he help?

Although Yongqing opened his door, he needed to marry more relatives to strengthen his friendship. But he didn't want to do this, he still wanted to find a good family for his daughter and a son-in-law who was half honest.

The fourteenth elder brother was rejected, and he was slightly annoyed at the time. felt that he didn't know what to do, and he alienated him a lot in seriousness.

I didn't expect so many things to happen in just two years.

His original refusal became a fluke, but his daughter should also say goodbye.

Tianyou was stared at with a hot face, and with a smile, he picked up a blue silk bag from the side and sent it to Yongqing with both hands: "Uncle, this is what Uncle Niang and Sister Ying asked their nephew to give to their uncle." ”

Yongqing took it and sighed in his heart. said: "I'm tired of my nephew." ”

If he is still in Bofu, it is a good match to marry the Cao family; Now that I have opened an account and lived separately, it is difficult for me to be promoted, and the two families do not match. Even if Cao Mei is willing to see the face of his old friend, Chu Yu's side may not agree.

Not to mention that Ying'er is three and a half years older than Tianyou. It's not the right age,

The capital, the palace of Prince Heshuo Jian, the upper room in the inner courtyard.

Prince Jian Jifu finished Yan Yongjia, and his eldest sister-in-law Qi Jiashi was also gossiping.

"There is news in the palace that after the funeral of the Queen Mother of Daxing, there will be a general election of the Eight Banners. The eldest brother is not in Beijing, and the niece's relatives, have you ever discussed the charter? Yongjia asked.

Qi Jiashi heard this and was surprised: "Why is it this year?" The Empress Dowager has been in less than half a year? ”

Yongjia said: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must be elected." Even if you don't go up to the harem, you have to grace the clan. ”

What kind of reason is this, although there is such a statement. But the Queen Mother, it is understandable to postpone it to next year, the draft is once every three years, the last time was in the 60th year of Kangxi, and it will only be three years apart until next year.

"Is it in October?" Qi Jiashi asked.

Because the first emperor went to Rehe every year to escape the summer, and the holy car returned to Beijing at the end of September, so the general election in these years. Mostly held in October,

"It should be. If the eldest brother hadn't explained before, the sister-in-law would have written over there now, and she would have time to ask. "Yongjia Road.

Qi Jiashi listened, nodded hurriedly, and said, "It's time to send a letter to the uncle to ask." Earlier, the uncle mentioned Ying'er's draft in a letter to his family, saying that he asked Cao Ye to help make Ying'er pick up the sign and go home to get married. ”

Yongjia listened and let out a long breath. said: "What's the trouble of the eldest brother, can the people outside be perfect?" ”

She also wants to be related to her mother's family, and wants to hire a niece as a concubine for the sixth elder brother who is not married in the palace. It's not for the side, or because I feel sorry for my niece. I am afraid that she will be burdened by the family and her marriage will not be satisfactory. She had mentioned this matter in a letter to her brother, but Yongqing refused.

He didn't want to make it difficult for his sister to do it, as a stepmother. It's not easy. Yongjia married her niece for her concubine, what do the two sisters-in-law of the palace think? Again. The sixth elder brother is from the palace side of Fujin. If you are willing to marry the daughter of a petty official, you can say two things.

Even if it was her husband's meaning, Qi Jiashi didn't want to question it, so she just said: "Fortunately, my aunt told me." Otherwise, I'm a woman who would have been caught off guard. Cao Ye is not in Beijing again. It's hard to go through the way of the concubine. ”

"Don't bother others, you still have to be tired Lord Cao owes favors. Or I'll come forward and beg the queen. After all, it's my niece, can she still be left unsettled? "Yongjia Road.

The two sisters-in-law have been in law for more than ten years, and Qi Jiashi knows that this sister-in-law doesn't talk much, but it's really good to bring two brothers, and she is not polite to her, and said: "In this way, I will bother my aunt and grandmother more."
