Just when Cao Hao couldn't rest assured of his nephew, Wang Fujin of Pingjun had already received news from the palace and knew that the fourteenth Fujin was "loving", so he invited his son over for dinner again.

Thinking that the fourteenth Fujin and Prince Jian succeeded Fujin, they were both the noble daughters of the Wanyan family, but one was a splendid spring flower, and the other was as light as a chrysanthemum.

Even if it was a friendship in the early years, I didn't see Prince Jian Fujin taking the initiative to get close to people; Fourteen blessings, but it is a three-point smile when he sees people, and he is famous for his own familiarity.

When Cao Hao came out of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, he went to his sister's side, talking about his eldest nephew Fu Peng's affairs in the palace confinement. Even if you know that this nephew is a young man, he is a twelve-year-old child. If someone wants to calculate, it is impossible to prevent it.

Cao Jiashi smiled and said, "This, brother don't worry." As he spoke, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "People talk a lot about Uncle Xiao, nephew, it's true." Fu Peng not only looks like a little brother, but also has a serious surname. Besides, there is still the emperor in the palace, and others can't turn the sky upside down. ”

The fourteenth Fujin is not to be feared, after all, it is in the palace ban, the fourteenth elder brother is in the limelight, and the fourteenth Fujin should be a man with his tail between his legs. The more she is gracious to the younger generations, the more she obstructs the eyes of the nobles in the palace, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

Cao Hao is not at ease, it is not the Fourteenth Fujin, it is the seemingly innocent and lively Fourteenth Elder Brother Hongming.

The brother-in-law went out with the fourteenth elder brother, although he was hand-picked, but he also committed the taboo of the fourth elder brother. If the nephew is in the palace, he is too close to the fourteenth elder brother's son-in-law Hongming, and it is not a good thing to fall into the eyes of the fourth elder brother.

Although compatriots and siblings still have immortality, they are young and young, like younger generations. In Cao Jia's heart, he is also very dependent on Cao Hao's younger brother.

When she mentioned Fupeng, she remembered something and said, "That family is all stingy." Not to mention the surname of the fourteenth elder brother, even the fourteenth fortune is not good. The last time I went to the palace to ask for peace, when I met her, she actually remembered to be a matchmaker for Fu Peng. How ridiculous, baba is thinking about taking his cousin niece and others as concubines. ”

"Cousin?" Cao Hao was a little surprised when he heard this: "How old is Fu Peng?" Besides, the eldest of the Wanyan family's descendants is Yongqing, and Yongqing's daughter ......"

Speaking of this, Cao Hao remembered that Yongqing's eldest daughter Yuan Ying was born in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, and she wanted to be the same age as Fu Peng.

Cao Hao couldn't help but be furious, and said: "Although Yongqing is out of the sect and loses his title and hereditary leader, in the end, it is the son of the Earl's Mansion and the lord of Fuhui County, and there is no reason for a concubine to be a concubine." This Fourteen Blessings is really ......"

It is said that the nobles of the Eight Banners must participate in the triennial draft and are not allowed to marry privately. But the head of the harem is the second concubine of Yide, if you point out a side lady to the eldest son of King Pingjun, it is really a matter of a sentence from the Fourteenth Fujin.

The eldest son of the county king, Mrs. Fang, although she has a formal concubine, she is also a concubine. The real noble daughter of Lord of the Eight Banners would rather give in and find a son-in-law with a poor family, and there are few who are willing to let their daughters take the position of concubines. Of course, entering the palace as a concubine is another matter.

Cao Jiashi snorted coldly and said, "She's so calculating, I'm not confused." She thought that her cousin had lost her title, and her niece would not be able to match her son, and she couldn't bear the old county lord's plea and wanted to push us to our side. She forgot that this niece also has her aunt as the prince Fujin, and her uncle as the prince's close minister. If I were to change to her, I should do this family business, that is, I can sell well before I finish my brother and sister, and I will also get married to Fu Erdan. In the end, she is a woman at the house, with shallow eyelids and can't see long-term. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Hao was a little gloomy.

I didn't think anything about it earlier, but I always thought that with Yongqing's ability, even if I didn't rely on the shadow of my father and ancestors, I could get through. Several years have passed, and it has been seven or eight years since Yongqing returned from exile to the present time when he went west with the army for meritorious service.

When he asked for his friend's life with full of righteousness, Yongqing definitely didn't expect that what he had changed was not only his own fate, but also the fate of his wife and children.

If there was no "knocking" back then, Yongqing would have inherited the Earl's Palace. Yuan Ying is the eldest daughter of the Earl's Palace, how can the Fourteenth Fujin regard his niece as a hot potato?

The concubine of the Earl's Palace, not to mention the eldest son of the county king, means that she should marry the prince and grandson as Zhengfu Jin.

Thinking of this, thinking of the deceased Ning Chun, Cao Hao felt a little ashamed.

How despicable it is to raise the Zuozhu brothers, take care of the Yongqing family, and let yourself feel at ease.

Obviously, Ning Chun regarded him as a close friend, not Yongqing, but his Cao Hao. But in the matter of Ning Chun, he was wise enough to protect his life, and it was Yongqing who ruined his future.

Cao Jiashi knew that his younger brother had a good relationship with Wanyan Yongqing, thinking that he was worried about Yuan Ying, and said: "Don't worry, there are still two years before the next draft, and maybe Fourteen Fujin has already forgotten about this stubble." Amitabha, when it comes to the draft, it makes people feel lucky. Tianhui has this eye disease, which is not a bad thing, otherwise it is calculated by those people in the palace, and it is better to be my daughter-in-law if I am pointed out to someone who is not worrying. ”

Among the four sons of Cao Jia's family, in addition to the eldest son Fu Peng, there are three people, Fuxiu, Fujing, and Fuduan. Among them, Fuxiu is four years older than Tianhui, and Fujing is the same year as Tianhui.

As early as when Tianhui was blind, Cao Jiashi mentioned that if her niece was reluctant to marry in the future, she could marry Fuxiu or Fujing; After Tianhui's eye disease improved, the princess of the palace died early, and Cao Jia's family transferred all the love for her daughter to her niece, and her sons were behind.

She told her brother more than once that she meant to marry, but Cao Hao was too close in blood, so she was really worried and told her sister about her concerns. Marriage of close relatives and the death of offspring.

Cao Jia's little hands are not separated from the roll, and she can be regarded as a little talented girl, but this is the first time I have heard of this statement.

Cao Hao can't give an example to illustrate that Tianhui's eye disease may be due to "close relatives", so he can only excuse it as a Western statement.

The children are still young, and it is too early to say this, so Cao Jiashi did not get to the bottom of it. After all, this marriage also depends on the meaning of the child, if the children's relationship is really good, she believes that her brother will not be sideways.

The Fourteenth Fujin didn't know that she claimed to be the virtuous helper of the Fourteenth Elder Brother, and her "love" to Fupeng was not only despised by Fupeng, a little ghost, but also regarded as a "stupid woman" by the two sisters and brothers of the Cao family...... When he returned to Cao's mansion, he remembered that Yongqing went on an expedition, and there were only his wife and weak children at home, so Cao Hao said to Chu Yu that from the New Year's goods prepared this year, a single copy was sent to Yongqing's house.

Although the sixteenth elder brother said that it was easy, Cao Hao really didn't want to wait for the New Year to come out of the New Year and then be busy with Xia Bu's business. The oracle is also the golden mouth and jade teeth of the Son of Heaven, if he neglects it, when will he fall into a sin that exceeds the decree, will he not be wronged.

When the thirteenth elder brother sent the money to the Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Cao Hao asked Cao Fang to follow and count the batch of Xia Bu.

300,000 pieces of cloth, where is it easy to count? It's just a formality, and the warehouse containing the cloth was replaced with the seal of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, which is considered to be completed, and temporarily placed in the warehouse of the Internal Affairs Office.

Cao Fang followed Cao Hao's instructions and took more than a dozen different summer cloths to make cloth samples.

Before retrieving the cloth samples from the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Cao Hao asked someone to take a few horses of summer cloth from the treasury of the palace to look at it. Speaking of which, the summer cloth is not cotton cloth, but ramie woven linen.

The twine used to weave summer cloth is thick and fine, and the finer it is, the more valuable it is. The thick twine is the one recorded on the books, which is the main material for the summer clothes of the people in the house.

The thinnest twine was bought by the sixteenth elder brother from the Internal Affairs Office, and Cao Hao's summer clothes were more expensive than the best satin.

If this thing is of good quality and has a lot of uses, in addition to sewing summer clothes, it can also be used to make mosquito nets or something.

Chu Yu saw that her husband was concerned about this, so she had to ask each other. Cao Hao only mentioned the plight of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, and did not say that he was burdened with the "Holy Decree", saving his wife from caring about it.

Chu Yu is really a little concerned, after all, the thirteenth elder brother is her own uncle, and he has a life-saving grace for her husband.

It's just that she doesn't know much about these businessmen, so she specially invited Han Jiang's family to ask.

Hearing that it was to find a way for 300,000 horses of Xia Bu, Han Jiang also frowned.

The population of the capital is only one million. This summer cloth is limited by the season. Even if you open a few cloth houses, it will take three years and five years to sell these cloths.

Chu Yu saw that Han Jiang's was silent, and said, "Is it really difficult?" Seeing that the uncle chattered for several days, it was strange and sad. ”

"If it's cotton, it's easier to deal with it if it's not limited by the season. Summer cloth is not as strong as cotton cloth, not resistant to wear and tear, and can only be worn for one season. Ordinary people's families have a difficult livelihood, and they may not cut clothes according to the season, and they can spend the summer with a single clothes. The rich and noble should wear silk and dislike the coarse summer cloth. Han Jiang thought for a moment and replied, "In this way, the sales of this thing will be limited. ”

"Short on time? I heard that in Liangguang, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, the four seasons are like spring, and there is no severe cold. What about over there? Chu Yu remembered that Zhang Yi sent Nanyang goods a few days ago, and asked.

Hearing this, Han Jiang nodded, and said, "If you get to the south, the four seasons are not distinct, maybe it will be easier to sell." It's just that Xia Bu is not a rare thing, and the people have a variety of mulberry hemp, cultivating and weaving for their own use. ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he could only sigh and said, "I can't complain that the uncle has to worry about the thirteenth uncle, this thing seems to be backlogged in his hands, how can he not worry about people......"

* Just as Chu Yu sighed, Cao Hao had already begun to check the cloth samples that Cao Fang had retrieved.

Fortunately, listening to Cao Fang's words, although it is stained and dilapidated, there are not many cloths that are eaten by mildew and insects.

They are all white grey fabrics that have not been dyed, and they vary in quality. the ones are thick, and the holes are like thin fishing nets; The wire is thin, and it looks better than the quality bought outside for twelve cents and a foot.

Cao Hao studied it for two days, but he couldn't find a clue.

After all, it's not a hundred, a thousand, and the number is really amazing. It's not like opening a shop, thinking of a way, and you can deal with it.

Just as Cao Hao was pondering the cloth, the Li family father and son left Beijing and set off for Suzhou.

On the occasion of parting, Li Nai brought his son over to bid farewell to the Li family. Although the Li family remembered his son's words and did not interfere in the affairs of the Li family, he still couldn't give up his family affection for many years, and prepared generous gifts for Wen Taijun and Gao Taijun.

No matter how her mother treats her, she dare not forget this grace of birth and nurturing.

Thinking of Wen Taijun, he is already ninety, and Gao Taijun is also in his prime, whether he can see each other in this life or not is two words, which directly caused Li to cry.

At that quarter of an hour, she really wanted to return to Ning and visit her relatives, but she was called "mother" by Changsheng, and remembered the embarrassment of her eldest son, so she could only hold back her heart.

Unconsciously, the end of the winter moon has entered the wax moon.

The Sun family came, and Sun Wencheng's second son Sun Jin entered Beijing.

Sun Jin married Li Xu's niece and was also Li's niece-in-law.

In addition to giving New Year's gifts to his in-laws on behalf of the Sun family, Sun Jin also brought Sun Wencheng's handwritten letter to his eldest daughter-in-law.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Sun Wencheng is 50 years old, and he hopes that his eldest daughter-in-law will take his eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter back to Hangzhou to celebrate his birthday......
