After talking about Zhuangzi, the sixteenth elder brother beckoned people to take the little elder brother Hongpu out to show Cao Hao. Cao Hao was thinking about the pox epidemic, and he hurriedly persuaded the sixteenth elder brother.

Hongpu is the second son of the sixteenth elder brother, and he is from the Li family of the side Fujin. The eldest son of the sixteenth elder brother was born from the Guo Luo Luo clan of Changfu Jin, and was born as a pawn. Therefore, Hongpu is the actual eldest son, and he is his favorite side Fujin, so he is naturally regarded as a treasure by the sixteenth elder brother.

Although the sixteenth elder brother wanted to show off his precious son, he also knew that what Cao Hao said was right, and in front of the seventeenth elder brother, it was not easy to mention the child much, so he changed the topic and asked about the garden in Cao Haohaidian Town.

This is the beginning of summer in a small half of the month, and the city will get hotter and hotter, and it will be spacious and cool to live outside the city. Speaking of this, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were a little envious.

The two of them are young, and now although they have married and had children, they still live in the elder brother's house and have not yet opened a mansion.

However, although he envies the freedom outside the palace, the two little brothers are both from the Han concubine, and they have no identity among the princes and brothers. Even if it is divided, it is just a shellfish, and the annual salary is only more than 1,000 taels, and it is better to live in the palace like now, it is all provided by the Internal Affairs Office.

Hearing these two mention the future, they all looked a little excited, and Cao Hao smiled and diverted the conversation. Speaking of summer vacation, it is better to rehe, the summer resort built last year is really a fairyland on earth.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother should both nod in harmony with joy on their faces. Although they are young and not as promising as their brothers, they also have small advantages, at least they have them every year.

This may be the lack of desire, these two princes have no ambitions, but the last one is the most comfortable and leisurely.

When Brother Ao came out, it was already noon, and Cao Hao had to go to the Yamen, so he hurriedly left the palace and rushed to the Xidan archway.

When they arrived at the Yamen of Taifu Temple, Tang Zhiyu and Yi Duli were already ready to leave. Seeing that Cao Hao had just arrived, Tang Zhiyu was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Lord Wang has come out to see it several times!" ”

Yi Duli listened, pursed his lips, and said to Cao Hao: "My lord, you have always had a good temper, but you also have to save it, some people can't give face, or he will have to inch in!" ”

Cao Hao listened to the words of the two, smiled and didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart, he didn't know what kind of moth Wang Jingzeng had made when he was bored.

Sure enough, not long after Cao Hao sat down, Wang Jingzeng held the official document and said: "Tou Yu is busy with official business, and Lord Cao is not there, so these will be sent to the official!" ”

Cao Hao looked at the half-foot-tall official document, and smiled: "There is Lord Lao Wang bothering, but up and down this Taifu Temple, only the seal of Manqing is effective, don't you know?" ”

Everyone has a bottom line, Cao Hao's bottom line is that he has the final say on his own turf, and he is most tired of others pointing fingers, and he doesn't like others to make trouble for nothing.

Man is indeed an animal, and his territory cannot be violated.

No matter how Wang Jingzeng co-opted his subordinates, or how he fought with Yi Duli, he didn't do anything about Cao Hao. However, if you want to get your hands out of bounds, then Cao Hao will not be good-natured and accustomed to him.

Wang Jingzeng originally thought that Cao Hao was young and tender, and he looked at him silently, so he thought that even if he couldn't climb to Cao Hao's head, he would be able to balance the power.

Unexpectedly, Cao Hao's fluttering words came down, and he choked him half to death.

Wang Jingzeng's face turned red and white, but he was speechless.

Who let this be the Great Qing Dynasty, there are few Manchurians, there are many Han people, and the emperor is quite protective of Hanchen. Among the six departments and nine secretaries, all of them are Manqing and Hanchen standing side by side, all of them are Manqing in front and Hanchen in the back.

Although Wang Jingseng had a few words of slander against Cao Hao in his heart, he couldn't say anything to refute on his face, so he had to retreat in a sneering manner.

In fact, this is just Cao Hao buttoning Wang Jingseng's hat and pressing him. He himself is a Han Chinese, and in his eyes, the Manchu and Han are all average. Knowing that this is an imperial taboo, although he has never been willing to take more than half a step of thunder pool, he really doesn't take it too seriously in his heart.

Cao Hao re-read the half-stack of official documents, but he would not be like a child, and deliberately made Wang Jingzeng angry. Left and right are those official affairs, except for two related to the racecourse, Wang Jingzeng has some paper talk, and other handling opinions are also appropriate.

Cao Hao also had no worries, and only wrote the word "can" at the back, and then stamped the official document.

In fact, who doesn't do these jobs. If Wang Jing had thought less about making those personal disputes in Taifu Temple, with Cao Hao's lazy surname, he would still be happy to hand over this trivial matter of approving official documents to him, and he would only take the final check.

It is not possible not to check the gates, and at this time also pay attention to the accountability of the chief official, if there is something inappropriate in the yamen of the Taifu Temple, it is he who will be punished.

After this delay, when Cao Hao returned to the house, it was already Shen Shi.

Xicai and Xiyan have been waiting in the study for a long time, and as soon as Cao Hao arrived home, he first asked about the situation in the second door, and knew that everything was fine, so he could settle down.

Mr. Zhuang knew that Cao Hao lived in the front yard, so he came to eat with him every afternoon. After the meal, when it came to the recent political situation, the two of them still had the same opinion, and the eighth elder brother was afraid that it would not work.

In the past few days, Kangxi personally issued several edicts to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and most of them dismissed some civil and military officials from their posts on the charge of "being old and unbearable", and most of them defected to the Eighth Elder Brother.

When the eighth elder brother is here, he can be regarded as a good target, and he can clearly see the distribution of forces.

If the eighth elder brother falls, the power of the prince and elder brother will be redistributed, and there will be another secret battle at that time.

In the near future, the eighth elder brother is closed, but the third elder brother is very proud. Because of his meritorious work in compiling books, he was praised by the Holy Mouth several times, and respectfully invited Kangxi to go to the garden he built outside Changchun Garden.

Mr. Zhuang is a knowledgeable person, so he naturally sees that these bustles are a little floating. On the third elder brother's side, there is really a good name, but there are no talents behind this, and there is no talent behind it, and the mother and wife can't borrow their strength.

Kangxi is also accompanied by an emperor's eldest grandson, although Honghui is the second elder brother's concubine, but the second elder brother is Kangxi's concubine. Honghui is not a son-in-law, but he is a grandson, and this one background alone has covered his uncles.

Although the people of the "tide file" in the past have been killed, flowed, and changed the portal, but because of the current respect for etiquette, as long as someone takes the lead, a team can be drawn out at any time to support the "sons and grandsons".

Kangxi is old and suspicious, and he doesn't let Honghui form a party, who would have thought what it is?

Honghui is the same age as Cao Hao, he is already twenty-one, older than several of his little uncles, and he is not a child. Even if Kangxi wants to teach his grandson in person for a few years and directly establish the emperor's grandson, it will not be surprising.

Rao is a person like Mr. Zhuang, and he didn't notice the fourth elder brother's potential to win the heir, so he pushed the fourth elder brother back again.

When Cao Hao heard this, he felt strange, could it be that the fourth elder brother was really hiding so deeply, it seemed that no one saw his ambition. Only he, the "prophet", knew the answer, so he saw the mountain as a mountain.

Cao Song and Cao Shuo had already eaten, and when they knew that Cao Hao was back, they also sat on their brother's side for a while.

Cao Song looks good, he has always been used to it, and he can eat and sleep well anywhere. Cao Shuo was obviously a little thin, and he didn't look energetic.

Seeing this, Cao Hao was a little uneasy, and asked, "Is the third brother not used to changing rooms?" Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look and prescribe two prescriptions to make up for it? ”

Cao Songyuan didn't pay attention to it, and when he heard his brother say this, he also looked at his younger brother's face, but saw that he was cleared, his face was a little pale, and he said with a little blame: "Even if you know that you work hard, this reading effort is too long, and you can't go out of the house all day, and your face is so ugly." ”

Cao Shuo's face flushed, and he said in a low voice: "It's just that I haven't slept well in the past two days, so I don't have to bother the doctor, I'll be fine in a few days!" ”

Because Cao Shuo is not very old, Ping Suli has a good idea, and he is much more sensible than Cao Song. Therefore, hearing him say this, Cao Hao was not reluctant, but just thought that he would not leave the house left and right, and if he was uncomfortable sleeping in the guest room in the front yard, he would move back to the second gate.

Cao Shuo listened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You don't need to move back, didn't the eldest brother say that the second door will be closed to avoid acne rashes, and when the second door is opened, the younger brother will go back!" ”

Cao Song looked at his younger brother's slightly thin body, frowned, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are also sixteen, why are you still like a child, you don't have the strength of a man." It's not okay to go on like this, Ming'er began to follow her brother to practice her body and bones. ”

Cao Shuo said curtly: "Second brother, my younger brother has to study and do his homework!" ”

Cao Song said: "Even if you have to do your homework, this body must be good!" Wait until August, let the eldest brother decide, see whether to send you to Zhengbaiqi to study, or to go to the grandfather's family to study. This capital is not as good as our Jiangning, those rabbit cubs are all black-handed, and they are used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. You nerd look, you didn't go for nothing! ”

When Cao Shuo heard that he was going to go to school, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, looked at Cao Song, and then at Cao Hao, and said, "Big brother, second brother, younger brother is not too young, do you still need to go to school?" Why don't you invite a master to come to the house? ”

Hearing his words, Cao Hao remembered the few Hanlin Academy scholars he knew when he sent Cheng Mengxing a few days ago. Now they are also studying, and they are a little nervous, and when they are taught to edit, they will have more free time.

I really can't do it, so let them help introduce a few colleagues who have already been editors. If they choose two of the best ones and come to the house to give a lecture to a few of their brothers, it will be very beneficial for them to take the exam in the future.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao nodded to Cao Shuo and said, "It's nothing to invite the master to the mansion, it's just that your second brother is right, reading is important, and your body is also important." As a manly husband, it's not good to be a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens. ”

When Cao Shuo heard that he didn't need to go to the school, his face showed a little joy, he lowered his hand, and bowed down to listen to Cao Hao's teachings.

Cao Hao looked at Cao Shuo and remembered that he was the one who entered Beijing when he was so old, and it had been five or six years of kung fu in a blink of an eye.

Mr. Zhuang sat next to him, smiling and listening to their brothers, but occasionally looking at Cao Shuo seemed to be a little strange.

When Cao Shuo and Cao Song and their brothers went back, Mr. Zhuang said to Cao Hao with a smile on his face: "The third prince is weak, I'm afraid it's because of his lack of sleep!" ”

"Oh!" Cao Hao was a little puzzled, but he also knew that Mr. Zhuang would not say it casually, so he said, "What is the reason for that?" ”

Mr. Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Third son, this is a symptom of kidney water deficiency, it seems to be Chengren!" ”

Although Mr. Zhuang said it vaguely, Cao Hao is not a hairy boy, and there is nothing else he doesn't know.

Thinking of Zhao Jia's family, and the jade spider who was killed by the rod a few years ago, Cao Hao really couldn't give birth to the joy of "my family has a son who has just grown up".

Whether it's Cao Song or Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang, it seems that I want to talk to this little brother. If you are a man, you have to be like a man, and the woman who can protect it wants, and if you can't protect it, don't spoil other girls' lives in vain.

Because Hengsheng has moved to Kwai Yuan, this time he took Niuniu into the second gate to avoid acne and lived in the East House. Chu Yu's belly was getting bigger, and Cao Hao was not around, so Xiyun and Xixia took turns to be on duty in the upper room.

Tonight, it's Xiyun's turn to watch the night.

She was going to lay on the ground, but Chu Yu was afraid that the ground would be cold, so she asked her to come to the kang.

When the sound of the third watchday came from afar, and heard Chu Yu still tossing and turning on the kang and couldn't sleep steadily, Xiyun couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked in a low voice, "Gege, is there anything uncomfortable?" The little master moved again? ”

Chu Yu said "um" and said, "It's a little sore back, it's uncomfortable!" ”

When Xiyun heard this, he was a little panicked, sat up, and asked, "What should I do then?" Why don't the slaves go and throw hot towels and give them to Ge Tengteng? ”

Chu Yu smiled and said: "You lie down quickly, it's not in the way, Huai Tianyou was like this last time, just get through the past few months!" ”

Xiyun lay down at this time, and said with a little distress: "I really didn't expect Gege to suffer such a big crime!" ”

Chu Yu said softly: "It's the third watch, I don't know if I slept on my forehead!" ”

Xiyun hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Gege, although it is good, but this is the same Gege two times, in case it ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't go on.

The two who waited in the study in the front yard grew up with her. Speaking of character, she can be trusted, not the kind of person who climbs into the master's bed.

Chu Yu smiled: "What if? Where can this kind of thing be prevented, I believe it......"
