Chapter 1168: People's hearts are fickle
After coming out of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, Cao Hao went to Prince Ping's Mansion and relayed the words of the Thirteenth Elder Brother.
Although Nersu wanted to take a step back and save his body, he also deeply understood the words of the thirteenth elder brother. But when to get rid of the involvement, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
In any case, the mood is the most important thing. If you can really see it, you can be at home, entertain yourself every day, and have a good time; If you have a heart, like a frightened bird, it is like purgatory.
He was anxious in his heart, and his face was filled with sorrow.
Seeing this, Cao Hao couldn't bear it, thought for a while, and said, "Brother-in-law really plans to withdraw from the court?" ”
Nersu nodded without hesitation and said, "Naturally, it's true!" ”
"Then brother-in-law, please seal the prince after the year!" Cao Hao pondered for a moment and said.
Children of the clan, who are over 20 years old, please be sealed. Fu Peng was born in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, eighteen this year, and only nineteen in the next year, which is not yet a few years old.
In the early years, there were also times when the prince was old or dying, just in case, the heir was young and asked for the seal.
Nersu is just a fan of the authorities, and after listening to Cao Hao's words, his face was already a little happy, and he said: "Yes, yes, please seal the world!"
Nersu stayed for dinner, and Cao Hao returned home after dinner.
Although Cai Ting was a Beijing official in his early years, Cao Hao was not familiar with him. He asked Cao Yuan to pre-backup the name post, and the next time he sent it to Cai's house.
The matter of the military department was discussed for two more days, and it was decided to increase the number of garrisons in Urumqi and Hami, and 30 military posts were added between Lanzhou and Hami and between Lanzhou and Xining.
In this way, if there is any movement in the northwest, the time for transmission to the Central Plains will be advanced by a few days.
The cannons and muskets that had been discussed earlier were thundering loudly and raining little, and gradually disappeared.
Qin Tianjian has already selected the auspicious date of this year's seal, the nineteenth day of the lunar month.
Cao Hao also set off for Qingyuan on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and before leaving Beijing, there was something to deal with, which was entrusted by the seventeenth elder brother.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Cai Ting rested, and after Cao Hao's breakfast, he went to visit the house.
Because he had received Cao Hao's name post in advance, Cai Ting was not surprised by Cao Hao's visit, but he was also puzzled in his heart.
When the governor of Zhili entered the court, the Jingtang naturally paid attention, and Cai Ting also heard about Cao Hao's news. Befriended a few princes, and went to visit a few Shangshu, or something.
This is also the norm for the governor to enter the court.
But he was in the Inspectorate and supervised hundreds of officials for the Son of Heaven, and he had always kept a distance from hundreds of officials, saving him from abolishing the public for personal reasons.
Although Cai Ting was suspicious, he would not be rude to treat a feudal official who came to visit.
Born in a family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is still and Shuogege, and he is a royal guard...... In Cai Ting's heart, seeing Cao Hao's resume, he thought about it and guessed his intention to visit him.
In the same year, Tang Yao's arrogance was different when he was popular, Cai Ting spoke and acted, gentle and polite, but he was a little bad at words, and the atmosphere was a little cold.
Seeing Cai Tingru treating the guests politely and politely, Cao Hao secretly scolded himself for being despicable in his heart.
Cai Ting refused to give the royal family to the clan, also to protect himself, but he couldn't refuse the seventeenth elder brother, and he had the leisure to "help the family to abuse".
Cai Ting's righteousness makes it more and more obvious that he is "ghostly".
After the little servant served tea, Cao Hao took out the medical holy codex and said, "I know that the adult is a master of Xinglin, and today Cao Mou came here to ask for advice or two." As he spoke, he pushed the codex in front of Cai Ting: "The ancients said that those who reach the first place are the first, this is Cao's apprenticeship." As he spoke, Cao Hao had already gotten up.
Cai Ting swept the same, but he was stunned, and his gaze at Cao Hao was also a little deep.
Twenty-nine thousand two hundred taels, a rare book from the former dynasty auctioned by the Bank of the Interior Bank. He asked for more than 20,000 taels, and it was still the medical book that he missed.
He originally thought that it was the palace that was lured by the health prescription to take pictures of the private collection, but he didn't expect it to be in the hands of Cao Hao, and now he has to do the "apprenticeship ceremony", isn't it ridiculous?
The dignified governor, for his own family medical skills, unashamedly "apprenticed"?
If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.
Cai Ting's brows were already furrowed, he looked at Cao Hao, and said, "How can Lord Cao say this, but Cai is confused...... Cai thinks that his knowledge is limited, and he does not dare to be a teacher......"
"Lord Cai, Cao is willing to perform the teacher ceremony and learn from the adults...... It's good to have a random side, even if it's a hawthorn pill......" Cao Hao said earnestly.
Cai Ting listened and was very puzzled.
Cao Hao is an imperial prince, and he is also within the scope of his "no diagnosis".
He also thought that Cao Hao was here to ask for a prescription for the seventeenth elder brother, but he didn't expect Cao Hao to say anything about it.
He sank his face and said, "Is Lord Cao playing with the old man?" The old man is a dignified court official, not a bell doctor who walks the streets and alleys......" After speaking, he served tea to the guests.
This is actually Cao Hao's heart's words, now the seventeenth elder brother is not in the right mood, look at that posture, if he doesn't get a prescription from Cai Ting's side, he will definitely not give up.
Now he is willing to spend all his belongings and buy books to please Cai Ting, also because he has never been domineering, understands Cai Ting's cautious difficulties, and is willing to lure him to benefit and know his affection.
If Cai Ting refuses again and again, with the current mood of the seventeenth elder brother, he directly asks for the royal front and asks Yongzheng to make an order, it is not impossible.
"Lord Cai, Cao only learns one side, and asks Lord Cai to fulfill the ......" Cao Hao was thick-skinned, refused to move, and lowered his voice and said: "Lord Cai also knows that the seventeenth master has a heart disease and needs heart medicine; If it drags on for a long time, it will be in front of the palace, and I am afraid that it will affect Lord Cai. ”
Cai Ting was raised in a young man, and he has been up and down in the sea for nearly 30 years, and he is not a brainless person.
Hearing Cao Hao say this, he knew that the seventeenth elder brother couldn't drag it on.
He sighed in his heart, and had already made up his mind that he would never see outsiders again.
With the emperor's love and closeness to the seventeenth elder brother, if the seventeenth elder brother really asks for the matter of the heir, can he still cover it?
Cao Hao not only gave him a step, but also volunteered to "learn" from the disciple ceremony, and Cai Ting could only borrow the slope to get off the donkey.
Cao Hao changed "asking for a prescription" to "learning a prescription", which also showed Cai Ting that this prescription is good and will not involve Cai Ting.
It's just that there is a grudge in the end, Cai Ting asked the little guy with a straight face to send a pen and paper to a few next to Cao Hao.
He squinted his eyes, didn't look at Cao Hao, and read out a recipe coldly.
Cao Hao took the pen and wrote down the recipe.
Cai Ting had no intention of keeping guests, Cao Hao completed the entrustment, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he would not be bored anymore, and got up to say goodbye.
Cai Ting got up, picked up the medical book, handed it to Cao Hao, and said, "This time it was all caused by Cai's misconduct and provocation. Such a valuable thing, but Cai did not dare to accept it. ”
Cao Hao waved his hand and said: "Such an apricot forest codex, only if it falls into the hands of adults, it will not be dusty, and please don't shirk it." ”
Cai Ting sneered, took two steps sideways, blocked the door of the living room, and said, "Lord Cao regards Cai as a businessman? If you don't take this book, Lord Cao will leave the recipe just now!"
Seeing that he was resolute and unwilling to make any extraneous branches, Cao Hao took the book and left.
Cai Ting looked at Cao Hao's back, and only felt that he was depressed in his heart.
Cao Hao didn't exaggerate, he just talked about the things he might encounter, but he lost his early sharpness and couldn't directly drive out the "villain" loudly.
He took a few steps back, sat back in his chair, and looked at Xiao Ji in a daze.
The Codex of the Doctor was so close to him, but he abandoned it casually.
was distracted, when he heard someone at the door: "Master, the villain has something to do!" ”
It was the housekeeper's voice, Cai Ting raised his head and said, "Come in!" ”
The housekeeper came in, holding a few booklets in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face: "Master, that Lord Cao rewarded the porter before leaving, and rewarded a few books......"
* Prince Zhuang's Mansion, the sixteenth elder brother looked at the prescription in his hand, with a little joy on his face, and said: "Okay, Fu Ruo, one shot, you can get Cai Ting's guy." ”
The corners of Cao Hao's mouth twitched, and he missed Jiang Jian and Song Hou in Qingyuan infinitely.
When he was in Qingyuan, if he encountered anything, he would use his brains; After a few days in Beijing, he began to lose his hair.
The sixteenth elder brother carefully put Fang Zi aside and said, "The seventeenth brother is waiting for a hurry, and he can't wait to ask several times, why did you come here and didn't go directly to his mansion?" ”
"It's not easy for Cai Ting." Cao Hao said casually.
The sixteenth elder brother made it clear when he heard this, this time the seventeenth elder brother forced Cao Hao to go to Cai's mansion to ask for a prescription, and he had to use his power to suppress people, and Cai Ting had to break his own rules, and finally dictated the prescription. The matter of the seventeenth elder brother's consultation may not be confidential, and Cao Hao took a few more detours, but he was also unwilling to reveal the matter, so as not to cause trouble to Cai Ting.
The sixteenth elder brother knew that the seventeenth elder brother was looking forward to it, so he called the steward and ordered him to invite the seventeenth elder brother.
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
The seventeenth elder brother is here.
In the cold winter, he was in a hurry, and his forehead was full of sweat.
When he entered the house, he didn't care about greeting the owner of the sixteenth elder brother, and looked straight at Cao Hao, a little nervous, and said, "Fu Ruo, Fu Ruo......"
Cao Hao sighed, got up and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" ”
Seventeenth Elder Brother's body shook, still a little incredulous, stepped forward, grabbed Cao Hao's arm, and asked, "Really?" ”
The sixteenth elder brother saw that the seventeenth elder brother trembled, and Cao Hao was also taken to tremble, and said: "Who still bluffs you, Fang Zi is here, this time you should be down-to-earth......
The seventeenth elder brother took the prescription, but he said "huh", revealing a little doubt, looked at it again and again, looked at Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother, and hesitated: "How is it Fu Ruo's pen, the original prescription...... Where? ”
Cao Hao didn't speak, and the sixteenth elder brother gave him a blank look and said, "Cai Ting refuses to write, only dictates, this is the original party......
The seventeenth elder brother was overjoyed at this time, and thanked Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother again, but he couldn't stay for a moment, confessed his guilt, and took the prescription to go back to catch the medicine.
He came and went in a hurry, without explaining why he would go to King Zhuang's Mansion with Cao Hao.
The sixteenth elder brother sighed and said to Cao Hao: "In the past two years, the seventeenth brother has become more and more unable to hold his breath, as if he has changed someone. Why bother, if it is really for the sake of the heirs, it is to accept a few concubines; If the husband and wife are deeply in love, they will honestly accept their fate...... I just hope that there will be a good result this time, otherwise if he continues to toss, he may be fine, and the seventeenth brother and sister will have a hard time......"
Cao Hao thought about the questioning eyes of the seventeenth elder brother, lowered his head, and only felt bored, the years passed, and people's hearts were changeable......
