In a blink of an eye, it's the Dragon Boat Festival.

Zhu Zhilian and the Liu family brought their children to the governor's mansion to ask for peace to the Gao family.

After Gao had more relatives, he was no longer like those in the past, who sat in front of the Buddha every time, and his temper became more and more modest.

Regarding the changes in the old lady, Li's mother and son are optimistic. For ten and a half days, if the Zhu family doesn't come, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will also send a post to invite.

It's just that when he saw Zhu Shuang'er, Gao couldn't help but think of Xiangyu and felt a little sad.

Chu Yu sensed the old man's heart and sent the guests away, so he mentioned that he was preparing to send a festival gift to Concubine Mi in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Xiangyu and the three girls of the Sun family are all serving in Cining Palace. If the old man really can't worry about his great-nephew and granddaughter, he can make people talk a little.

Gao Taijun thought about it, shook his head, and said, "That's it, the concubine was born in the Li family, and when it comes to the distance from the Li family, she is no worse than me, an old woman." Xiangyu can be sheltered by her, which is already a blessing; No matter how much the old woman talks, it is annoying. ”

Seeing that the old man was sentimental, Li comforted: "With the protection of the concubine Niangniang, Xiangyu will never be wronged, you can rest assured......"

Chu Yu said: "There is news in the capital, saying that the fifteenth uncle will be divided in the next two years, if the news is true, now I ask someone to arrange for Xiangyu to go to the fifteenth master to serve, and then maybe he will be able to follow him out ......of the palace."

Hearing this, Gao Taijun and the Li family both looked at Chu Yu, showing some concern.

"Is that true?" Li said: "That child's life is drifting, lonely and pitiful, it's always good to be able to leave the palace early." ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "It's the news from Uncle Sixteen, I don't think it's true." It's just that the fifteenth uncle's family is now guarding the mausoleum, whether they can give people over there, and when they can give people over there, it's not guaranteed......"

Gao Taijun sighed and said, "If there is a glimmer of hope, you must always try." She has no father or mother, she was raised by my side when she was a child, and she is not close to the Li family. Now that her grandparents are outside the gate, whether she can come back alive is two words. If you really wait until you become an old girl and then leave the palace, you will delay a lifelong event, and you will lose the rest of your life. ”

Although Xiangyu is not a descendant of the Cao family, she has been raised in the Cao family since she was learning to speak, and the Li family and Chu Yu also have some pity, and they also hope that she can leave the palace as soon as possible.

From Cining Palace to the fifteenth elder brother, and then to the fifteenth elder brother to open the mansion, it will take two or three years to find a way to get Xiangyu out of nationality in a year and a half.

When the time comes, Xiangyu and Lu will not delay in saying that they are close.

Because of the mention of Xiangyu, Gao Taijun remembered something and asked Chu Yu: "Mrs. Liu has been back to the mansion for a few years, and every time she has brought Sister Shuang, listening to that meaning, it seems that she has taken a fancy to Zuo Cheng, has she mentioned it to you?" ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly: "At first, I asked, and then asked the Zhu family to inquire about Zuo Cheng's background, as if he was hesitating." ”

Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's life experience is vague about what they say to the outside, only saying that they are Cao Hao's righteous son, as for who his father is and who his grandfather is, not many people know.

For this reason, over the years, speculation has varied.

is also not the blood of the Cao family, and many people speculate that Hengsheng is Cao Hao's illegitimate son, because of the family tree. And the two brothers, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, if they are really concubines, there is no reason to raise them in Cao Mansion in the name of Yizi.

Even if Mrs. Cao Hao is a good husband, the bloodline of this family is a big deal, and the elders will not allow them to come nonsense.

When they were in the capital, there were many princes and magnates, and the Cao family could only be regarded as an upstart, and their family was low-key, so they did not attract attention; When they arrived in Zhili, it was different, as the first in Zhili, the entire Zhili officialdom looked at their family, eager to study their ancestors for eight generations thoroughly, to see if there was an opportunity.

Hengsheng's life experience, but there is some wind in the past few years, only said that it is the little prince of Mongolia, who was arranged by Emperor Shengzu to be raised in Cao Mansion in the early years.

Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng only know that the mother of the twins is Zhuang Xi's niece, and the father is not known.

It's okay to be ordinary, but when you really want to marry a daughter, you don't ask the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty for three generations, and you can't even tell whose daughter is the daughter-in-law, it's a joke.

However, since the eldest daughter of the Shaoqing family of Dali Temple can marry the eldest of the twins, if you want to say that the twins are from an ordinary background, few people will believe it.

Liu took a fancy to Zuo Cheng's appearance and character, and had the heart to allow him to marry his concubine, and he could also kiss Cao Fu. But my father and ancestor don't know how to stop it, and it's not easy to speak.

Gao Taijun pondered for a while, and said to Chu Yu: "In the early years, I still thought that the children would grow up together, and if they had the same temper, they would give Xiangyu to Zuo Cheng...... Unexpectedly, the Li family was defeated, and the girl entered the palace again...... Now it's no match, and it's impossible to think about it...... Sister Shuang, I look at it, it's okay, you husband and wife also discussed, if Zuo Cheng's identity can be announced, he will tell the Zhu family a word; If there is really a hardship, it will be pointed out as soon as possible, and it will be saved for a long time, and the family will not hurt the friendship in the future......"

Chu Yu listened, and glanced at her mother-in-law, both of whom were a little surprised in their eyes, this was the first time she had heard Gao Taijun say such a plan.

Although they pity Xiangyu, the two also understand that even if Xiangyu leaves the palace, he will be an official, but Zuo Cheng will have to take a career in the future, whether it is Chu Yu or Cao Hao, it is impossible for him to marry Xiangyu.

Gao Taijun also understands this when he thinks about it, although he has regrets, he is also willing to promote the family affair between the Cao family and the Zhu family.

In the evening, Chu Yu mentioned to Cao Hao about Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's origin.

Cao Hao has been thinking about the problem of Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers recently, and now the two brothers are Xiucai, and they are still those added by Cao Hao in his early years on the Yamen record.

Wait until the two of them are promoted or donated, if they still have their past resumes, it will be troublesome to change them in the future.

Ning Chun's father, although he was attached to the prince in his early years, he was not a descendant, and he died in the game between the prince and the eighth elder brother, and the grievances were difficult to clear in vain.

"It seems that I still have to write a letter to beg the Thirteenth Master to see if I can rehabilitate Ning Chun's father and son, if there is hope, even if we don't arrange for their brothers to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, they can show their father's and ancestors' names in a dignified manner." Cao Hao said.

Although he probed a message in front of the thirteenth elder brother two years ago and got an answer that was difficult to rehabilitate, Cao Hao still did not give up.

"Zhang Jia's family is also a big surname, and Uncle Ning's ancestors also have a family position and title handed down, if they can get it back for the two of them, it's always good." Chu Yu said.

In the Eight Banners, the title is nothing, and the hereditary position is extremely rare, and it is eligible to participate in the flag affairs.

The next day, Cao Hao wrote a letter and sent it to the capital. Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's life experience, the sixteenth elder brother knows everything, and the thirteenth elder brother also knows.

The tragic death of the father and son of the Ning family, in the final analysis, was still implicated in the drama of seizing the heir. Speaking of their father and son, there is no capital crime.

Cao Hao remembered clearly that after Yongzheng cleaned up Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, he began to deal with the "Eight Masters Party".

Now, with the early death of the eighth elder brother, it seems that the contradictions between the brothers have faded a lot. But the ninth elder brother is still in Qinghai, and the tenth elder brother is in Zhangjiakou, and the relationship between the heavenly brothers is still deadlocked.

If Yongzheng lets go of the "Eight Masters Party", if he wants to investigate the responsibility of the early years, then the case of the Ning Chun family may have a turnaround, and he can use it to rehabilitate the Ning family...... A few days later, the capital, Prince Yi's mansion.

After reading Cao Hao's letter, the thirteenth elder brother whispered: "Zhang Jia's ......"

Although he is of different races, this surname is the same as his mother's family, which still makes him a little kind.

He raised his head and asked Thirteen Fujin: "The pair of twins in Cao Mansion, have you seen them in the past few years, how are they?" ”

Thirteen Fujin is pregnant, it has been more than five months, and she began to show her pregnancy, and it was the time to be gluttonous, holding a plate of cut melons and eating Zhengxiang.

Listening to the thirteenth elder brother's question, the thirteenth Fujin put down the plate and said: "I saw it once in the Sixteen Mansions the year before last, and I was with the Cao family brothers, although the appearance is not as good as Tianyou, but it is not much worse. is still Cao Hao's upbringing, at a young age, he has a fame, three points stronger than the children of the ordinary lord's family...... Fortunately, it's not the Cao family's bloodline, otherwise the age is so close, and everyone has a good future, and Cao Hao has a headache ......"

Zhang Jia's ...... Fu Jin still remembers that in the spring of the fifty-first year of Kangxi, the martyr woman who made a lot of noise in Beijing committed suicide by swallowing gold in red...... "The thirteenth elder brother asked.

"Huh? Ye asked if it was the ...... from the Niu Hulu family" Thirteen Fujin asked: "The movement back then was so big, how could you not remember." Some time ago, I heard people mention it...... When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he was strange: "Who mentioned it?" It's been more than 10 years......"

"I heard it from the twelfth sister-in-law, saying that Niu Hulu, who died unjustly that year, was Concubine Xi's cousin, and her husband's family was killed by the second elder brother and the eighth elder brother...... "Thirteen Fu Jin said.

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Why is the harem involved?" ”

"If it weren't related to a few concubines in the palace, who would turn out Chen Sesame and rotten grain? Besides, now in the harem, the young concubine is sick, and Concubine Xi assists the queen in acting palace affairs, her identity is not ordinary, and there are fewer people over there...... "Thirteen Fu Jin Dao."

The thirteenth elder brother was still a little uncomfortable, he was really troubled by the shadow of the Nine Dragons seizing the heir, and as soon as he heard that the harem and the prince were involved, he felt panicked.

Seeing that her husband frowned and was silent, Thirteen Fujin hurriedly diverted her words and said, "Didn't you talk about the twins of the Cao family?" Cao Hao took it to Zhili to teach, this is to send it back to the capital? ”

The thirteenth elder brother shook his head and said, "The twins are the descendants of the Zhang Jia clan, and the late Niu Hulu clan is their brother's mother-in-law...... When their father and ancestor died unjustly, they had not yet landed, and their biological mother was a girl next to Cao Hao's friend. Cao Hao mentioned it to me once in the early years, and this time he mentioned it again......"

Thirteen Fujin opened his eyes wide and said, "I really didn't expect that the two of them were from such a background. Does Cao Hao want their brothers to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors? If their brothers had a big background, they would have become cousins with the fourth elder brother......"

Thinking of this, the thirteenth elder brother hesitated a little and said, "I don't know what Cao Hao means?" If he knew that Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng were related to Concubine Xi, he wouldn't want to rehabilitate the Ning family at this time......"
