"Moving?" Cao Hao listened to the words of the sixteenth elder brother and was a little confused: "My family has no idea of moving, where did the sixteenth master hear the news?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother was not in a hurry to say, he ate half a cup of hot tea before saying the reason.

It turned out that in the past few years, due to the sharp increase in the number of children of the clan at the appropriate age, there were many mansions needed, and in the early years, the prince of the clan, Baylor, needed to be replaced because of the downgrade, and the emperor ordered the Internal Affairs Office to tidy up all the mansions under his name.

Today, the sixteenth elder brother thought about taking the sorted out real estate booklet to the palace to return to the palace, and just in time for Cao Song to send the tribute to the internal affairs government into the warehouse, the sixteenth elder brother also brought the tribute list over.

Yongzheng saw that the white sandalwood Arhat was listed on the tribute list, and he was interested, so that people took it to the front of the emperor, and he was quite happy.

"The emperor's signature after seeing the tribute list is Cao Song, remembering that your old lady is also born at the end of the month, so he said that your family is getting more and more, and three generations of people live together and still live in the old house, which is really not cheap, so he pointed to a spacious house for your family. The emperor's grace chose a house with a garden, saying that it was just for the old lady to be a pension place, and arranged for the Internal Affairs Office to be responsible for repairs, and it should be almost neatly repaired around the Dragon Boat Festival next year. Brother Sixteen said with a smile.

Cao Hao was very surprised, there were not many ministers of civil and military affairs who were given houses, but most of them were Han officials who were not born in Beijing.

According to the rules of the capital, non-banner people are not allowed to buy property in the inner city. Even if the Han official is a scholar and a servant, as long as he does not get grace into the flag, he is still a citizen and can only buy property in the outer city.

Most of the mansions in the city are official residences arranged by the household department, and they only have the right to use them, but they have no ownership.

There are two kinds of mansions on the side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one is the palace of the princes of the clan such as the prince Baylor, except for the hereditary title, the mansion belongs to the private property of the prince, and the mansions obtained by other clans when they are divided still belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The other is a house given to the old man of the Bachelor's Court, and most of them only have the right of residence.

Cao Hao hesitated and asked, "Is it the house where the prince of the clan lived?" ”

Yongzheng wants to reward the Cao family, and he will not give a palace-level mansion. In that case, it would be troublesome to rebuild, and it would almost have to be rebuilt. In addition, there are too many heirs of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and there are many princes and princes at once, where is there still an idle old palace in the capital. That's why Cao Hao asked.

The sixteenth elder brother smiled and took out two pieces of paper from his purse and handed them to Cao Hao: "Look at it yourself." ”

Cao Hao took it and looked at it, but his eyes couldn't help but widen.

The location is the West Single Archway, the main house is five into one hundred and thirty-six, the east house is three into fifty-six, the west house is three into fifty-eight rooms, with a garden, and twelve pavilions and pavilions.

Seeing Cao Hao's stunned appearance, the sixteenth elder brother snorted lightly and said, "Haven't you always envied the garden of the prince's mansion, and the master will envy you in the future." ”

Those two pieces of paper are the house deed and the title deed, on which Cao Hao's name has been written.

With this, this mansion will become the private residence of the Cao family, which can be passed on to the descendants.

Cao Hao also worked as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in his early years, although he couldn't say everything about the properties below, but such a large mansion was limited, and after a little thought, he remembered the origin of this mansion.

This is the old residence of the eldest princess of Kechun.

The eldest princess Kechun is the daughter of Huang Taiji, the aunt of Kangxi, and married Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui. Later, when the rebellion of the three feudatories arose, Kangxi killed Wu Yingxiong and his son Wu Shilin.

The eldest princess was then widowed for 30 years, and Kangxi was widowed for more than 40 years.

Later, Princess Duanmin and Princess Rongxian both took a fancy to this place, one was a sister and the other was a daughter.

Although he knew that Yongzheng's move was a gesture of grace, Cao Hao was still quite moved.

Although the Li family's background is not a secret in the clan, there are only a limited number of people who are qualified to know about the quasi-believer. Above the officialdom, there are more speculations that have no spectrum.

Yongzheng gave the princess's old mansion to the Cao family, which was also to show the royal position to the world.

Regardless of whether the name of the Li family is on the royal jade plate or not, the emperor recognizes her identity.

The noise in the distance was still there, and the sixteenth elder brother frowned, got up and said: "This Tian Wenjing is a temper that kicks his nose and face, I don't know why Zhang Tingyu hasn't gone over, in order to prevent him from looking for people, I think you should avoid it, just let us go over and take a look at this house." ”

Cao Hao didn't want to confront Tian Wenjing, so he left a message for Jiang Jian, and followed the sixteenth elder brother out of the household department.

The princess's mansion is near the Xidan archway, very close to the household department, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to ride a horse.

The history of this house can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, which was the "Changzhou Hall" during the Ming Dynasty, where Jiangnan Juzi lived after entering Beijing. When the banner people entered the customs, the people of the inner city moved to the south city, and this house was taken over to the internal affairs government.

After the eldest princess Ke Chun got married, this became the princess's mansion.

Counting the time, this place has been idle for more than 20 years, but surprisingly, after entering the house, it does not feel desolate, and the house and the blue bricks on the ground seem to have undergone some repairs.

After asking the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao proved his guess.

It was indeed repaired once in the second year of Kangxi, and in the early years, he wanted to learn from the clan here, and later set Jingshan.

The two of them walked around the house and looked at the garden at the back of the house.

After all, it is early winter, and the grass and trees are withering, but looking at the layout of the pavilions and pavilions, they are all excellent. It is rare that there is living water leading to the Kunyu River, which is extremely rare in the city.

Cao Hao is very satisfied, in addition to being for the Li family, but also for himself.

Although the palace of the Cao family is not far away, it is not close, and every time it is a big dynasty or a small dynasty, it is also extremely exciting.

Changed to Xidan, at least it is close to the yamen and the palace.

"After a few days, the master can't find the drawings of this garden and send them to you, if there is anything that needs to be added or subtracted, you will speak, even if it is repaired once, it will be done in one step, and it will be troublesome for you to live in it and change it." Sixteenth elder brother said.

Cao Hao remembered that there was a water pavilion in the garden of Jiangning Weaving Mansion that was Li's favorite, and after listening to Li's chanting a few times, he was a little moved.

Seeing him like this, the sixteenth elder brother said with a smile: "If you are worried about swagger, you can take out the money yourself." In that case, even if others want to talk about it, they can't find out. ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "That's the best, our old lady has been thinking about the south side recently, and I really want to add two water pavilions in the garden." ”

Although both of them were wearing small sweaters, they turned around outside for most of the hour, and they both felt a little cold, so they came out of the princess's mansion.

The sixteenth elder brother remembered something and said: "Although this matter of giving the house is not fair to the public, but don't forget to make people say hello to Prince Jian's mansion, if you compare your old mansion to give Liugege a dowry, it is estimated that the palace will also die of embarrassment." ”

The sixteenth elder brother didn't mention it, Cao Hao didn't expect this yet.

Indeed, Cao's Mansion is just a four-entry house, and a cover room is built at the back, which is also for the servants to live. The larger courtyards have only two places, namely the Orchid Courtyard and the Wutong Garden, and the other courtyards have a maximum of seven rooms, all of which are small bays, and there are only three fewer courtyards.

The Kwai Courtyard where Tianyou lives is originally the residence of Cao Yin and Cao Hao's father and son before they got married, and the place is certainly not spacious.

Cao Hao touched his chin, it seems that the house is indeed a problem.

I always prid myself on being indifferent, but what I think about is the book of the military department and the upcoming war in the northwest, and I am negligent about family affairs.

Although Tianyou has decided on the family, he always feels that he is still young, and he still has some words to marry a daughter-in-law, but in fact, if he marries at the end of next year, there will be only one year left.

The Sixteenth Elder Brother still has official business in the Internal Affairs Office, and Cao Hao also needs to go back to the household department, and the two of them will say goodbye at the intersection of Xidan Road.

When Cao Hao returned to the official office of the household department, the household department returned to its previous solemnity.

Jiang Jian had already inquired clearly, and without waiting for Cao Hao to ask, he asked for the follow-up in the yamen.

Tian Wenjing made a fuss in Henan Division, but Yin Jishan in Henan Division was neither humble nor arrogant, only replied in accordance with the rules and regulations, and did not ask anyone to invite Zhang Tingyu and Cao Hao.

Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother went out, but Zhang Tingyu stayed in the household and did not move, but he never showed up.

I don't know which one went to the thirteenth elder brother and attracted the thirteenth elder brother over, and Tian Wenjing closed up.

Then, the thirteenth elder brother asked the reason, but it was not Yin Jishan's fault.

The six conventions are heavy when they enter October, especially the household departments.

Although Tian Wenjing is the governor of Henan, the Henan Department of the Household Department has a book of the household department, and is not directly responsible to the governor of Henan. The various errands on the side of the Henan Division are not influenced by Tian Wenjing's thoughts.

However, the thirteenth elder brother did not reprimand Tian Wenjing, found him a step, and took him away.

Cao Hao listened to it and knew it in his heart.

Tian Wenjing acted meanly, not unreasonably, if it weren't for the Henan Division delaying Henan's related money and grain official documents, he would not have caused trouble to the household department.

Yin Jishan's move is also a choice.

Choose to connect with the same qi and branches with the top and bottom of the household, or choose to tie up the Tianwen mirror.

He made his choice.

It's a little sleek, but it's not annoying, and the scale is just right.

Look at Zhang Tingyu again, he is already a university scholar, but he is still patient.

Cao Hao reflected on it, his qi cultivation kung fu was not enough, if it wasn't for the sixteenth elder brother to tell him to go out, maybe he couldn't help but show up.

When Cao Hao returned home, Zheng Hu was already waiting in the front yard.

Zheng Hu's complexion is very good, and it seems that the errand man is doing well.

He entered the Yamen of the Infantry Army, although the rank of the chief there, the grade of the military attache below was not high, and they did all the thankless and tedious errands of the capital security, and the children of the Eight Banners had some backgrounds and were transferred to the pioneer battalion or the protective gear battalion, and most of the people who stayed here were honest people with no background, and there was less officialdom and colleagues.

Cao Hao greeted Zheng Hu, and then went to change into his regular clothes and came out, and had a deep talk with Zheng Hu.

In Cao Hao's words, it is said that what he said today came out of his mouth and into Zheng Hu's ears. Zheng Hu listened to it, and if it was spread out, Cao Hao would not recognize it.

Zheng Hu listened to what Cao Hao said, his face changed, his mind was in a trance, and he didn't eat well next.

Several times, he poured wine for Cao Hao, but he didn't notice it when it overflowed.

Seeing him like this, Cao Hao couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you don't have to be like this, think about it." No matter what you decide, I support you......"
