Xiang was worried about returning to the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he didn't stay in Jiangning for long, although he would take care of these children.

But they are different from the left and the left.

Although they don't have a mother-in-law, and their father's life and death are uncertain, they still have their own grandfather, their own grandmother, and three relatives.

Cao Yi made a special trip to come over, but it was just to show his attitude in front of Wei Ren, these nephews and nieces were not "orphans" and Cao Yi was relying on him.

told Wei Ren that he held the dowry money of the five Wenjie brothers and sisters in his hands, and also told him that until these children became adults, Cao Yi would be worried about them.

In the future, the matter of marriage is not something that the Wei family can say.

It's not that Cao Mei is bullying, it's just that she doesn't worry about the Wei family's "virtuous name" grandmother, and she is afraid that a few children will be wronged.

As for wanting to take Wenjie back to Beijing, it is because he is the eldest son, and Cao Rong wants to bring him to the capital for a few years to see if he can arrange a future or something.

However, this child is also a down-to-earth person who adheres to the way of filial piety, and has the demeanor of an eldest brother, so Cao Mei has nothing to worry about.

Before leaving, he asked Wei Ren to arrange to meet Gui Niang, leaving two thousand taels of silver.

Even if Wei Ren knew that he was ashamed, he wanted to treat his nephews well.

In the end, it is a man, and there is always something that carelessness can't take care of.

In order to rush back to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Cao Mei passed through Yangzhou, he only rested for one night and did not stay long.

It's Cao Yi, who is middle-aged and has some friendship with Zhang Ying, the housekeeper of the Cheng family.

From Guangzhou to Jiangning, Hualou brothels have left the footprints of two "prostitutes".

Two people in their forties almost had to change their posts to worship.

Even this night in Yangzhou, Cao Yi was not idle, and the two went out for a leisurely night.

Cao Mei remembered Li Wei's embarrassment in his early years, and couldn't help but be a little worried about Cao Yi.

After all, the willow disease at this time is still an incurable disease, and it is not so easy to look at it.

But this is Cao Yi's private matter, when he is usually on an errand, he has a really good kung fu in his hands.

It's not appropriate for Cao Mei to say more.

He didn't say much, but he was a little careful about Zhang Ying.

Cao Jia and Cao B have different identities, they are the old men left by Cao Yin to their sons, and they were the identities of the government during Cao Yin's lifetime, not ordinary people.

They are better treated, there is no small family to drag them down, and it is not unusual for them to have plenty of money.

Zhang Ying is different, he is a son-in-law, and he heard that he was excluded from the yamen in his early years, so he came out to join the Cheng family.

Now I follow my master out, but I often can't see people, what is this called? Think of the overland route from Guangzhou to Jiangning.

I have also encountered a few gangs of small thieves who cut the path.

Zhang Ying is ruthless, not inferior to Cao Yi.

Others are a little measured.

The two of them, shot, are either dead or disabled.

Cao Yi is understandable like this, due to the Jianghu faction in his early years, Zhang Ying was a member of the yamen before.

This attention is not tight, and by the way, even Cao Yi can see something different.

According to common sense, Cao Yi and Zhang Ying are both people who are good at drinking and indulging, with insufficient sperm and blood, small eye sockets, and weak steps, all of which are light.

Let's just say that this lustful nature is evil in his bones, and his eyes are not right when he sees a young girl and a little daughter-in-law.

Zhang Ying has a little bit of this problem, looking tall and strong, but his face is not good, his eyes are cloudy, and he is uncomfortable to watch.

Cheng Mengxing himself is a merry and talented person, and he doesn't take these things to heart.

Zhang Ying is the steward of the outer house, and he expects the Cheng family to eat, and he will not think of offending the people in the inner house, and the two have nothing to do with it.

Cao Zhu is different.

Cao Jia and Cao Yi were close guards to him.

Although it can't be said that they guard day and night, but in time for the critical period, it is common for the two of them to stay on the roof of Wutong Garden at night.

If Cao Yi is true, he is so evil and obscene.

How could Cao Mei stay around? I always felt that there was something wrong with Cao Yi.

He's on this.

Zhang Ying is a little too close, in the past six or seven years by Cao Mei's side, he has always been a cold and lonely character, except for teaching Fang Qiniang in the early years, he was more patient, and it was the first time he was so close to people.

Cao Mei is not a suspicious person, otherwise how would he explain his safety to Cao Jia and Cao Yi in the future.

On the day of leaving Yangzhou, after staying at the post station.

Cao Mei called Cao Jia and Cao B, and talked in the room.

He didn't ramble, and asked directly: "Second master, isn't there anything wrong with Zhang Yingmo?" Hearing Cao Yi ask like this, Cao Yi was stunned.

glanced at Cao Jia, squeezed out a little smile and said, "How did the uncle remember to ask him?" Cao Yi looked at Cao Yi, glanced at Cao Jia again, and said: "If this person has a grudge with the two worshippers, Cao is willing to do his best; If the two worshippers feel that they don't do Cao's family affairs.

If you want to end it yourself, then Cao will not have much to do. ”

He said it bluntly, Cao Yi was a little embarrassed, "hehe" and said: "It's not a grudge, it's just that a few old friends have lost their news, and they have something to do with this Zhang Ying."

Thinking about mixing in one place, when drinking high, it is good to take out a sentence or two that is useful.

Unexpectedly, this kid is a character.

These days, I gritted my teeth and didn't let go, and I tried every means to find out the news of my uncle.

But I don't know that the master behind him is a humble person, and it will not be the Hanlin master who can only eat wine and chant poetry. ”

Seeing that it was involved in himself, Cao Xian was a little surprised.

Thinking of this, Cao Mei couldn't help but ask more, and said, "The old friend of the second master, is it from Fujian?" Cao Yi listened, the smile on his face froze, nodded for a while, and said: "It is true that he looked a little surprised in the Fuzhou area, and then calmed down and said with a smile: "How did the uncle guess?" Do you know that Zhang Ying is from Fujian? Cao Wei nodded, looking at Cao Jia and Cao Yi, his mind was racing.

Not only because Zhang Ying is a Fujian, but also because Fang Qiniang is also a Fujian.

After Cao Yi got along with them for a long time, he had no intention of revealing Min Yin.

Even if Cao Yi is not a Fujian, he has lived in Fujian.

What is Fujian? After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, it was the place with the most remnants of the previous dynasty, and the happiest place to make a fuss against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

With his father's cautious and loyal nature, it is impossible to put people with the idea of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" by his side, and then hand over the safety of his son to these people.

Cao Mei was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to ask some words.

Chaos is uncomfortable, but knowing more is not necessarily a good thing.

Besides, if it is really a private matter that Cao Yi does not want to declare, it is also tiresome to ask each other.

Seeing Cao Wei frowning slightly, Cao Jia took a step forward and said, "Uncle, don't worry, although our brother lived in Fujian in his early years, there is nothing unspeakable.

The boss knew this before he was alive, and the one in Miyagi also knew it. ”

He has been by Cao Mei's side for a few years, and he also has some temperament to get rid of Cao Mei, and he doesn't like to get into trouble the most, so he said so, Cao Mei listened.

Nodding his head, he said, "I see."

If the two masters are useful to Cao, you don't have to be polite.

Over the years, he has also relied on a few masters to protect him, and if he is able to do his best, Cao will do his best. ”

When Cao A and Cao B went out, Cao Wei was a little uncomfortable.

Although I have long thought about the identity of Cao Jia's four people, "the people who became emperors, I told Cao Jia with my own ears."

It doesn't matter if it's true, that's fine.

Cao Wei went to bed and went up, thinking sullenly.

The emperor knows everything, and he saves others from slandering and talking.

Again.

Kangxi may not have that idle effort.

Care about the little courtier's eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Think about it.

With Cao Jia and Cao Yi's temperament, it doesn't seem like they are ears, eyes and eyeliner.

Over the years, thanks to their guards.

I'm too peaceful.

It's better to be kind.

Just look at it,, Cao Jia in the room.

Cao Yi showed doubts on his face and said, "Big brother."

Why are you in the palace in front of the uncle? We are not the emperor's servants, but we are repaying the kindness of Lord Cao and returning to the Cao family.

If the uncle misunderstands, the future will be awkward. ”

Cao Jia smiled slightly: "Do you think the uncle can't tolerate people?" "That's not it, it's just that no one likes to have eyeliner around them.

It's just that "over the years, there has been some affection, and it has become estranged, which is uncomfortable."

Cao Yi muttered.

"Uncle will not alienate us."

Cao Jia said lightly.

"Huh?" Cao Yi was a little curious, and his eyes rolled a few times.

said: "Is it too much to take care of, afraid that the one in the palace will be too careful?" I still can't bear to love for many years.

You won't blame us for this? "Maybe it's both, anyway, the uncle is not an easy person to turn his face," Cao Jia said.

Cao Yi became more and more confused when he heard this, and said, "That is the case, what is the eldest brother still bluffing him for?" What makes him suspicious is always uncomfortable. ”

"It's August now."

Cao Jia stood in front of the window and said, "He still has four months to be filial piety."

With his previous resume and political achievements, this will be a prominent position.

In the future, his status will only become more and more prominent, and more and more people are waiting to catch his pigtails.

Otherwise, he will learn to be honest in everything, or "I will hide you and me, and the future will be better" Zhuo Yi listened to this, and looked at Cao Jia as if he was looking at a monster.

The two brothers have been friends for most of their lives, when have they ever seen him worry about others.

The corners of Cao Yi's mouth twitched a little, and he went through the situation in the past few years in his mind, and he couldn't remember Cao Po's actions to buy people's hearts, Suzhou, weaving mansion, study.

Looking at his pale grandson, Li Xu's face showed a little unbearable, and said, "All the things you want to bring are ready?" It will take more than a month to go and have to endure a lot of hardships.

You kid, you're too stubborn. ”

Li Cheng is thirteen years old, looking half a head taller than last year, his face has faded from the youthfulness of a child, and he has the appearance of an elegant teenager.

"Mother has already prepared, grandfather doesn't have to worry about grandchildren, just take good care of his body."

Li Cheng bowed and replied.

"You're only thirteen, and it's still early to end up.

Don't think too much, just take it as a long insight to prepare for the next subject. ”

Li Xu saw that Li Cheng's little face was tense, afraid that he would think too much, and said.

The fist in Li Cheng's sleeve was clenched tightly.

Isn't there really a hurry? My father couldn't fill the vacancy.

My grandfather seems to be just an old weaving house.

In Jiangnan for more than 30 years, the Li family's deficit was not paid off by bankruptcy.

The famous "cousin" of the Cao family was in his teens and helped the "aunt" of the Cao family pay off the deficit.

In Li Cheng's heart, there was a bit of sadness.

Thinking about returning from the capital last year.

His heart burned like a fire.

Since his father couldn't fill the vacancy, then he went to take the exam.

The sister-in-law of the Nian family is twelve years old, and the fifth cousin of the Cao family is also a teenager, and he is thirteen this year.

It's just that I think about it well, but the days are a little rushed.

He originally planned to go to the capital in July to participate in the Shuntianfu Township Examination, but he didn't expect a serious illness to come down.

It has been delayed so far.

Now, he can only drag his body that has just recovered from a serious illness and rush to the capital.

Li Xu originally wanted Li Han to send his son to take the exam, but in July, Li Cheng was seriously ill and could not go on the road, so Li Yi went to Rehe on behalf of his father to ask for peace, one step ahead, and is now in Rehe.

In the end, Li Cheng's cousin Li Yu was arranged to send him to Beijing.

Although Li Cheng felt that he was not a child and was unnecessary, he couldn't bear his grandfather's majesty and honestly obeyed orders.

When Li Cheng saw his grandfather, he went to the inner house to say goodbye to the elders.

Mrs. Wen has been a little confused since last year.

Plain Suri doesn't recognize people.

Gao Taijun saw this.

Moved over to wait closely, in the end, it was a rare year.

I have been very old in the past few years under fatigue.

I heard that Li Cheng was going to go far away, Wen Taijun said let's talk, and others couldn't understand what she said.

Gao Taijun leaned over, leaned over to her mouth and listened for a while, before he smiled and said to Li Cheng: "The old lady said that the chestnut cake in the capital is delicious, let you fight the chestnut cake back." ”

Li Cheng had a mediocre relationship with his great-grandmother, but he grew up beside Gao Taijun because he was a child, and he had a lot of attachment to Gao Taijun, looking at Gao Taijun's hair was white, he pulled her sleeve and said: "Even if the old lady is not comfortable, there are maids and little ladies waiting for her If the grandmother is also tired and sick, the old lady is on the sickbed."

Nor can I have peace of mind. ”

Gao Taijun saw that his little face was pale, and touched his arm, as if it was skinny, "It hurts."

said: "Brother Cheng, your illness is cured."

How to go far away.

Do you want your grandfather to say something about me and ask someone else to change you? Li Cheng shook his head.

Said: "Zutai."

It's the great-grandson who wants to go out and see it.

But after more than a month of hard work, I came back in September, and when I was young, I accompanied Zu Tai Chongyang. ”

Gao Taijun saw him so sensible.

After carefully admonishing a few words, he let go of his hand, "The capital, the thirteenth elder brother's mansion, the living room."

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, the thirteenth elder brother was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind blew you here?" "The slave Nianxi has seen the thirteenth master, please be safe to the thirteenth master."

The man flicked his sleeves and asked for a good peace.

The thirteenth elder brother saw it.

I felt strange, raised my eyebrows, and said, "Did you come out of the west this day, or did you change people in this shell, why did you still come to this set with your master?" "Nian Xi, the son of Nian Qianyao, the governor of Sichuan, and the nephew of the fourth elder brother, has been raised in the fourth elder brother's mansion for many years.

In the past two years, because his father was promoted and there were many taboos, he moved out of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

The thirteenth elder brother has long been familiar with him, although he can't get used to his father's arrogance, but he still treats Nian Xi as a nephew.

Now, seeing him solemnly come to ask for peace, the thirteenth elder brother muttered a little in his heart.

"There is a difference between respect and inferiority, and etiquette cannot be abolished."

Nian Xi held back for a long time and came to such a sentence.

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Since it is a ceremony, why do you want to remember to be here?" "Nian Xi is not very old, and he has only passed the age of a weak crown.

But it is Kangxi's fifty years of lifting.

In the middle of the lift.

I made up for the official, but I was young, and there was no real shortage, and I only made up for it in the Yushi Yamen two years ago.

According to the rules, he is also considered a courtier.

Courtiers, civil and military officials, are not allowed to make friends with the prince's brother, so he is also a courtesy today, quotation marks, let us be silent and mourn.
