Chapter 424: Heard

Rehe, outside the summer resort, six departments and nine Qings are there.

"The third sister gave birth to a son on May 15, and both mother and son are safe......" Cao Hao opened the family letter written by Chu Yu, and when he saw this line, he immediately got up from his seat, and his face was already full of joy.

For Cao Yi's younger sister, Cao Hao is more like a daughter.

Cao Hao was a little reluctant to lose her youthful cleverness and become "virtuous", but she also knew that in this society, the requirements for women are all kinds of rules.

The Xitara clan is known for being good to his daughter-in-law, but Seshtu is twenty-six this year, and if Cao Yi has no children here, it will be a long time since then, and there will be a disagreement.

Although they are both daughters of the Cao family, due to their different experiences since childhood, Cao Yi and Cao Yan have no similarities.

Although Cao Yan is a daughter, she is a little flesh and blood that was added after Cao Yin's establishment, and she has been loved in every way since she was a child. is different from the strictness of the eldest son, for this eldest daughter, Cao Yin has been enlightened hand-in-hand since she was a child.

Cao Yan is talented and smart, and she is already a talented girl who knows piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she is a teenager. This made Cao Yin regretful, if this was a son, he would be designated as a Jinshi and the first, and he would be crowned a cabinet in the future.

Cao Yi is also a clever person, but because of the ups and downs he experienced as a child, after entering the Cao family, he was always trembling. Although he respected Cao Yin and Li as his biological father and mother in his heart, after what happened to Cao Shun, the guilt in his heart was strong. After getting married, she was also cautious, not wanting to let her parents and brothers and sisters on her mother's side worry about her own sake.

Because the letter from Caofu's family was sent along with the official documents in Beijing, the speed of arrival was relatively fast. This letter was sent to Yamen by Chu Yu in the afternoon before yesterday, and he will go to Rehe this morning.

Although in Cao Hao's eyes, boys and girls are the same, but he also knows that for Cao Yi, his son is better.

With a nephew, Cao Hao took two steps on the ground. As one of the full moon gifts of his mother's family, he has already prepared people, what else do you want to add? The specialties on this side of Rehe, do you also have to make people bring some to Beijing?

However, Cao Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he thought about it in his heart.

Seshtu was with Hu last year, and he only arrived in the capital in September, and Cao Yi was not much earlier than Chu Yu when she was pregnant. Now that Cao Yi has given birth, isn't Chu Yu's side going to be fast?

Thinking of this, and thinking about Chu Yu's previous physical condition, Cao Hao couldn't sit still.

Now, the princes of various Mongolian tribes have come to the court one after another, and by the end of the month, they may not be able to reach the whole thing. June is the hottest, and the holy drive may not start. On the errand side of Taifu Temple, there is Tang Zhiyu, a proper person, watching, and Cao Hao is also relieved.

Cao Hao thought of this, so he asked Xiaoman to take a pen and paper and write an excerpt asking for leave.

After Kangxi arrived in Rehe, he usually dealt with the government in the Jingcheng Palace, which was located in the middle of the summer resort.

Cao Hao wrote the fold, took out his pocket watch and looked at the hour, just after noon, Coco's meal arrived, it seems that he has to wait for another hour before he can hand over the sign to him.

Today, the third elder brother respectfully invited the Holy Driving Luck King Garden to a banquet, and the other princes and elder brothers all accompanied him. Cao Hao asked for leave in order to make a good leave, but he hoped that Kangxi would be able to eat this meal more happily.

According to later generations, the first time Kangxi saw Hongli was when he was in the garden of the fourth elder brother. As a result, seeing that the little grandson was pleasing to the eye, he was raised in the palace.

The third elder brother doesn't have this opportunity, he has a son-in-law, he is seventeen, and he is on an errand in the ministry, although he has not yet invited the prince to be crowned, but he is not yet old.

The other concubines, even if Kangxi really looks pleasing to the eye, will not be raised in the palace, wouldn't it be easy to attract the competition between the brothers. From this point of view, the fourth elder brother has no son-in-law, and the concubine is young, which is really a big advantage.

Cao Hao and Chu Yu are husband and wife, although only one Tianyou has been born now, but in Cao Hao's heart, they are treated as sons and nephews by even Ping'er and Cao Song.

In the past few years, watching Kangxi become more and more mean and suspicious for the sake of his children and grandchildren, Cao Hao is also uncomfortable when he sees it. He was still wondering in his heart, couldn't it be that every old man had become so sensitive and paranoid?

He has limited contact with older people, even Cao Yin, since he hit Beijing, the number of times father and son have been together is counted.

*Outside the summer resort, Prince Makoto's garden.

Kangxi said that his interest was quite good, and he couldn't help but give his name and words when he looked at the place with good scenery. The third elder brother was with him, but he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. If it weren't for the fear of the imperial father, I was afraid that he would bloom happily and rejoice.

The fourth elder brother is still ordinary, but if you look closely, you can also see that Bi Ping's face is more soothing and not so cold. But I don't know what he is thinking in his heart, it will not be good to see the third elder brother happy.

The eighth elder brother and the fourth elder brother walked side by side, although they had a smile on their faces, they were a little stiff. Not to mention anything else, just talking about this garden, there is no way to compare it with the third elder brother's side.

The garden of the third elder brother is the silver money allocated by the Inner Treasury and is built by the Internal Affairs Office. Although he spent a lot of money on his side, many flowers and wood materials were not available as soon as he wanted. There is also the prince's garden here, and Baylor specifications on his side, although they are both princes, but the titles are different, and the amount of land is different.

Thinking of this, the eighth elder brother was a little uncertain in his heart, and he was also a little apprehensive about the matter of respecting the holy driver.

Seeing the smile on the third elder brother's face and introducing the scenery along the way to the imperial father, the eighth elder brother raised his eyebrows and quietly glanced at the fourth elder brother beside him.

It just so happened that the fourth elder brother was looking over here, and he looked at the eighth elder brother. The fourth elder brother nodded and looked away. The eighth elder brother said with a smile: "I heard that the fourth brother's garden is very well repaired, and the younger brother is also going to see it!" ”

"I heard?" The fourth elder brother chewed these two words in his mouth, but what he thought in his heart was to rectify and rectify the subordinate servants on this side of Rehe Garden, and stop having the word "heard".

Seeing that the fourth elder brother did not respond, the eighth elder brother said with a bit of joke: "What? Fourth brother, is this not welcome brother to go? ”

Although he knew that the fourth elder brother's surname was a little strict, he was impatient with this, but he was still how. Maybe in his heart, there was a faint idea of angering the fourth elder brother, after all, the fourth elder brother had behaved too well in recent years.

The fourth elder brother's expression was much softer, and he said: "Where is this, we have been neighbors for more than ten years, and this time the garden is not far away, and it is convenient to be close to the two." ”

The fourth elder brother lives in Andingmen, and the eighth elder brother's mansion is on Taijichang Street. It is a bit far-fetched to say that they are neighbors, but in the middle of the two houses, if you take a shortcut, they are only separated by a street. Compared with the other royal palaces, Baylor's House, it is close.

When the eighth elder brother heard this, he just smiled. Although the fourth elder brother said that he had a straight face, he never was rude to his brothers. The eighth elder brother was quite close to him in his early years, but it was not until the past few years that the succession was a little unclear, and everyone became wary, so they became more estranged.

The sixteenth elder brother took a folding fan in his hand and followed behind his father and brother, but his eyes were a little insufficient. Everywhere you look, there are elegant flowers, stones and trees, and there are scenery everywhere.

People in the garden are like walking in a painting. Although it is not as magnificent as the summer resort, this place is more like a place for students to cultivate their surname.

If someone who doesn't know sees it, he will specify which place he thinks is the residence of a recluse writer. It's just that although those flower and stone forests are elegant, they all need real money.

As soon as the sixteenth elder brother collected the fan, he felt that he was a bit of a philistine, no matter what he saw, he thought about how much silver should be made in his mind?

10,000 taels, 10,000 taels, 1,300 taels, 1,300 taels, if he doesn't think of a way, this garden is a dream for him.

Cao Hao promised to give him a set of family classes, if he cleaned up such a garden, listened to the infrequent tasting of good tea, and listened to good songs, wouldn't it be beautiful.

Even if you can't be crowned a prince or a county king, Yulu is higher than Beizi!

The sixteenth elder brother thought, his footsteps were a little late, and he fell behind unconsciously.

The fifteenth elder brother was talking to the seventeenth elder brother, and when he saw that the sixteenth elder brother did not follow, he looked back, because the younger brother showed a stunned look on his face, afraid that he would affect the interest of the imperial father in visiting the garden, and whispered: "Sixteenth brother! ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he saved his senses, laughed twice and caught up with everyone.

After visiting for a while, the banquet was ready, and the third elder brother invited the imperial father and all the royal brothers to enter the banquet, and the banquet did not look like a monarch or a minister, but a little father-son affection.

The sixteenth elder brother froze with a smile on his face, calmed down and watched coldly, but he was also tired and panicked for everyone.

It's just a scene, even if everyone is smiling, there is a little bit of real stuff in it.

After singing a drama of father's kindness and filial piety, Kangxi seemed to be a little tired, and he didn't stay long after the banquet, so he returned to the summer resort with a few little brothers. The remaining four elder brothers and the eighth elder brother all lived in their own homes, and they also stopped by and returned together.

Because Cao Hao was paying attention to waiting, so the holy driver returned to the villa, and he got the news and went to the Jingcheng Palace.

After handing over the sign, Cao Hao saw him outside, but it was Lang Ladu, the right attendant of the Li Domain, who ran over with sweat in his head, and also handed the sign to see the driver.

The current secretary of the Imperial Court is concurrently served by the Minister of the Guard, Alinga, and he still has the title of the Honor Guard of Zhangluan, so the standing affairs of the Imperial Court are all taken care of by this right attendant.

Laduhun came out of the Hanlin Academy, with a bit of pedantic, and his actions were quite square. Although Cao Hao is the forehead of the county lord, in terms of official position, he is only from the third rank, which is two levels shorter than his second rank.

Because Cao Hao was wearing a supplement from the third grade, although Laduhun did not see the courtesy of the officials, he only gave a flat salute.

Cao Hao returned the salute, but he didn't take these things to heart, but he saw that Ladu was anxious, and he had some doubts in his heart.

The Lifan Yuan is the yamen in charge of Mongolia, Xinjiang Province, Tibet Province and other things, is there anything wrong with the frontier?

Cao Hao was suspicious. He asked the Minister of the Guard, Alinga, to hurry up, with a bit of solemnity on his face.

One time later, Wei Zhu came out to pass on the message, and the Shangshu A Ling'a of the Li Domain Yuan and the right attendant of the Li Fan Yuan were all in sight.

Ah Ling Atong Ladun entered the hall in response, Wei Zhu saw that there were only a few guards guarding not far away, and there were no other officials, so he whispered to Cao Hao: "Lord Cao, long live the master just looked at the fold of the Li Fan Yuan, and was annoyed, your brand, let the slave and maid deduct it privately, and did not hand it over." If Master Cao is not in a hurry, it is better to wait for tomorrow and take a look. ”

Cao Hao hurriedly whispered thanks, because there were guards watching not far away, Wei Zhu didn't say much, turned around and entered the hall.

Is Tibet going to be chaotic? Thinking of this, Cao Hao's mood was a little complicated. As a man, even if he is as lazy as him, he still has a bit of yearning and longing for the battlefield. But on the Tibetan side of the province, it is the Mongols and the Tibetans who are making trouble, and this civil strife is fighting, but it makes people confused?

But he also knew that Xinjiang Province and Tibet Province were important surnames, and if there were no buffers for these two places, China would have lost the northwest barrier.

In the face of national affairs, it is a little ridiculous that he wants to go home to accompany his daughter-in-law. Cao Hao looked back at this tall hall, no matter how much hatred and blood and tears were brought to the Han people by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but in the Qing Dynasty, more than 100 battles were fought one after another, and they did not lose Xinjiang Province and Tibet Province, which can be regarded as their somewhat meritorious achievements...... but not everyone can know about national affairs, and the Jueluo Mansion in the capital is so lively.

Today, it is the "washing three" ceremony of the young master of the Jueluo family. On Cao Yi's mother's side, the brothers Wang Fujin, Zhaojia, Cao Ying, and Cao Song of Pingjun all came to congratulate.

Several aunts and grandmothers of the Jueluo family who have already gone out have also arrived.

Seshtu's colleagues and friends also came to the door, and this year he was on duty in Beijing, so he didn't have to follow him.

Inside and out, even with the servants and mothers-in-law, they were full of joy.

In the inner hall, Wang Fujin of Pingjun has the highest status among the female dependents, and he has to bring a basin. But she took a step back and asked Zhao Jia to come first.

No matter what the relationship between Cao Yi and Zhaojia is, after all, Zhaojia is the mother-in-law, but this cannot be changed.

Zhao Jiashi was watched by everyone, took a few silver ingots from the maid's hand, and put them in the basin. The other ladies followed suit, and put all kinds of things in the basin.

The midwife came out with the little master in her arms, and in various auspicious words, she completed the "washing three......
