Chapter 1029: Spring Thunder (Part II)
Seeing Cao Fu coquettish like a child, God bless them all holding back their laughter.
Cao Fu has never been in front of his nephews, he glanced at them, and then said to Li: "Auntie, look, a few little ones are laughing at their nephews...... Can't you let your nephew go home empty-handed......"
He didn't really covet things, but he was just making Li laugh.
Li shook his head with a smile and said, "How old a person is, and he doesn't have a proper shape." That's it, that's it, it's hard for you to know that you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, and I will fulfill you. ”
As she spoke, she raised her head and instructed the embroidered crane at the door: "Go to the inner room and bring the jewelry box that I found out two days ago." ”
Xiuhe answered, and then brought a gold-covered sandalwood box from the back room and carefully rested it in front of Li.
Li opened the box, and there were layers of jade and jade jewelry inside, all hairpins, bracelets, bracelets, jade rings, earrings and other small objects.
There are white jade, green jade, jasper, topaz, and black jade, and they are all of the highest grade depending on the color.
Li pushed the box down in front of Cao Fu, and said, "Well, if you want to coax your daughter-in-law, just pick it." ”
Seeing this, Cao Fu was a little embarrassed, and even more embarrassed to pick the elders' things in front of his cousin and sister-in-law, picked up a white jade ring casually, and said with a smile: "Uncle's things, they are all good, this is it." ”
Li Shi glanced at him and quipped: "You talk so much, why are you thin-skinned now?" ”
Cao Fu just smiled, playing with the white jade ring without speaking.
Seeing this, Li picked out a white jade gemstone hairpin and a pair of gourd-shaped earrings from the box, and turned out a white jade double melon jade pendant of the same color, took a brocade handkerchief and wrapped it, stuffed it into Cao Fu's hand and said, "Take it with peace of mind, your brother and sister-in-law have it." ”
As she spoke, she explained to Chu Yu: "You put away this jewelry box, and you have to take the jewelry and divide it." Your grandmother and the second old lady each have four pieces of jewelry, the girls and your brother and daughter-in-law each have two pieces of jewelry, and each brother has a jade pendant...... Don't forget the third child's share of their ...... Forget it, boys, boys can't be too squeamish. When the eldest master was a child, he didn't touch these things. ”
In the old customs of the capital, every April, most of the female dependents of the powerful families had to change jade jewelry, and it was precisely because of this that the Li family thought of making people find out this box of jade jewelry and distribute it to everyone to wear.
Chu Yu responded, and asked someone to put away the jewelry box.
When the children heard about Cao Hao's old story, they all looked at him and wanted to hear the following.
Cao Hao laughed twice, this is still the sequelae after being kidnapped. Unless he sees someone, or a jade pendant that he wears closely, he will never pile up those eye-catching things on his body.
When the children grew up and went to school in the past two years, Cao Hao also explained to Chu Yu that he should not let them carry valuable things on them, for fear of attracting the peeps of gangsters and causing trouble.
Cao Fu remembered that when he was a teenager, he liked gorgeous clothes and beautiful weapons, and he loved to show off among his classmates and friends, but he only felt ashamed.
The house was full of joy, and the mother-in-law had already waited under the porch, asking for instructions on when the meal would begin.
Chu Yu asked Li for instructions and ordered the meal to be set.
Because the children were there, Li asked someone to set up a large round table, and the three generations of old and young sat at one table. It was Chu Yu, and the Li family also asked her to sit under Cao Hao.
Except for Tianbao who was hugged by **, the remaining eight people sat at a full table.
Li sat in the right seat, looking at his children and grandchildren, and the confusion and misery when he received the holy decree had disappeared.
Before Cao Hao finished eating, a maid spread the word that it was a visitor from the front yard.
Cao Hao knew in his heart that he was from the Ping Palace.
He was not in a hurry, and had dinner leisurely before coming out of the Orchid Courtyard with Cao Fu.
Zhang Yi was waiting outside the second gate, it turned out that it was not the palace steward who came, but it was Nersu who came in person, and now he was eating tea in the living room.
Thinking that he didn't want to alarm the Li family, he instructed Zhang Yi to vaguely ask Cao Hao to come out.
When Brother Cao Hao entered the living room, he saw Nersu drooping his face, looking very bad, and he didn't know if he was annoyed and angry. The concubine went to his wife's mother's house to make trouble, and it was a big joke to say it.
Cao Hao snorted in his heart, but he didn't have the heart to look at his face.
Nersu said hello to Cao Hao, and then said to Cao Fu: "I'm causing trouble to Xiao Wu, so I changed my brother-in-law to invite you to eat and drink." ”
Cao Fu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, if you say it's troublesome, it's not a problem, it's just a bluff." ”
Nersu looked at Cao Hao, but did not speak immediately.
Cao Hao saw that his expression was wrong, but he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't hide his anger, and he was puzzled in his heart.
He thought for a while and said to Cao Fu: "Xiao Wu, you go back first, I have something to say to the prince." ”
Cao Fu also sensed that Nersu's expression was wrong, not like embarrassment, but like boundless anger. It's just that this is an incident caused by the servant around him, and he can't be angry with the Cao family.
"In that case, my brother will go back first." Cao Fu was puzzled in his heart, struggled for a while, and saw his cousin giving him a look, so he got up and left first.
Seeing that Cao Fu was gone, Nersu let out a long breath and said, "I went to Dongfu first just now and met that cheap maid...... The...... That actually came to Beijing with the Wu family! ”
When Cao Hao heard this, his face also changed.
In the Northwest Army, who is the Wu family who can make Nersu scruples, except for the favorite concubine of the fourteenth elder brother who is famous in the capital, which one else?
The reason why Yongzheng promoted Nersu to the knighthood was because he believed that he did not collude with the fourteenth elder brother; If you hear the news that the two families are going to Beijing together at this time, what will you think?
"That Wu family, why did you go back to Beijing?" Cao Hao asked, "Since she is a person that the Fourteenth Master values, how can she be so comfortable?" ”
Nersu patted the chair handle hatefully and said, "It's all because I was soft-hearted for a while, so I have today's disaster." ”
Last year, when the fourteenth elder brother received the order to gallop back to Beijing, he stayed in Ganzhou for the Wu family temporarily, and said that he would arrange for someone to send her back to Beijing.
When the fourteenth elder brother was there, the relevant news of the capital was still blocked; As soon as the fourteenth elder brother left, there were more rumors.
Some say that the fourteenth elder brother was escorted back to Beijing, and some say that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and he will not let the fourteenth elder brother arrive in Beijing safely.
When Wu heard this, he couldn't rest assured, so he took a few people to prepare to return to Beijing.
Before she could set off, Narsu got the news. He knew that the Wu family was the person on the tip of the fourteenth elder brother's heart, and he didn't want to embarrass her too much. Thinking that while no one thinks of the Wu family yet, it would be better to let her live.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shi took a horse pistol, hid in Ganzhou, and waited for Nersu to leave, and then went to pick up the servant Qingxia released by his side to come to Beijing. Otherwise, how could Qingxia, a weak woman, have the courage to trek thousands of miles.
Nersuma rubbed his face and said with a wry smile: "I think it's because the Wu family thought that they could use Qingxia to beg to come to my side...... She didn't know that I, the prince, was also weightless...... Since the beginning of the Taizong Dynasty, the royal family has been constantly gracious to Prince Lilie, but they have also been watching and guarding against ...... all the time."
Of the eight iron hat princes who founded the country and divided them, Prince Li's family accounted for three.
In addition to these three royal palaces, there are several descendants of Prince Lilie who have been crowned King Baylor of the county.
There have been a number of princes who have knighted in the clan, and the descendants of Prince Lilie account for forty percent.
This proportion has far exceeded the descendants of Emperor Taizong, which shows the influence of Prince Lilie's lineage.
In addition to the large number of people and many titles, Prince Lilie's family also occupies a lineage.
Prince Lilie Daishan is the concubine of Emperor Taizu.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty used the Han to control the Han, respected the rites and religions, and respected the elders.
Emperor Taizong is the son of Taizu, in order to make his succession justified, when Emperor Taizong opened the country, he only honored a Empress Taizu, who was his biological mother. Taizu sent his wife to the concubine, but he did not get the title of queen.
Although Taizong was wary of Prince Lilie, he could not help but admit that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened the country and conquered the world, Prince Lilie's descendants made great efforts.
Until the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, the children and grandchildren of Prince Lilie were also loose on the outside and tight on the inside. seems to be constantly favored, but in fact, he has taken the opportunity to win the title several times and changed the inheritance several times, making the princes of this line a plate of scattered sand.
Looking at the confrontation between the emperor and the queen mother in Bai Yueli, the mother and son have already torn their faces, so can the fourteenth elder brother have a good end?
At this time, if you get involved with the fourteenth elder brother, who knows what kind of disaster it will cause.
Narsu's anger was not without fear in his heart.
Cao Hao squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Brother-in-law, Ming'er, you still hand over the sign to ask Your Majesty to see you, and put this matter in front of the emperor to make it clear, so that the emperor will hear the wind and misunderstand your brother-in-law." ”
Hearing this, Nersu hesitated: "Will you make a big fuss about bothering the emperor with trivial matters?"
Cao Hao shook his head and said in a low voice: "Haven't my brother-in-law heard of 'sticky pole'?" It is better to confess yourself than to be convicted without knowing what is wrong. ”
Hearing this, Nersu's face turned white, nodded for a while, and said, "I know ......"
Seeing that Nersu was depressed, Cao Hao couldn't bear it in the end, and persuaded: "Brother-in-law is not too worried, the emperor still attaches great importance to human affection...... The queen mother and her half-brother are not close to the emperor, and the brother-in-law is closer, and the emperor will be happy...... "Speaking of this, he said that the internal officials came to pass the decree to the Li family to send the spirit.
Nersu's expression gradually cleared up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Just do it, I'm really afraid that I will suffer from the disaster of the pond fish and affect this family......"
When Nersu left, he sent the three Qingxia masters and servants away.
The next day, the hand-appointed clerk came to the household department to report. At the age of more than forty, Xu has been in Hanlin for a long time, and he has a bit of pedantic.
With such an elegant style, he may appear noble and dignified in other yamen, which makes people respect more than three points, but in the household yamen, he only makes the big guy happy.
Among the several hall officials, except for Cao Hao and Li Zhouwang, everyone else is in their prime, so they haven't seen anything? It is Li Zhouwang, whose qualifications in the Hanlin Academy are only stronger than when they are not weak.
To Cao Hao's side, he is the most pragmatic, he speaks in a tangled manner when he listens to the trust, and he doesn't look like he is economical when he speaks.
On the contrary, he has acted calmly, without the anxiety and embarrassment of yesterday.
Although the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, when parting, it is still embarrassing.
When he said, Cao Hao got the exact news. He Cheng'er was indeed affected by his younger brother, who offended Nian Qianyao in Sichuan, and was already removed from office and detained, and was on his way back to the capital...... A second-grade Jingtang was dismissed because he was angry, and Yongzheng was no longer as simple as honoring Nian Qianyao...... * It was a few days later when he saw Nersu again.
Because the Ministry of Rites has already set the date of Emperor Daxing as the 27th of this month, the six yamen have begun to get busy.
Especially for officials of Cao Hao's level, most of them have to go to the imperial tomb with the holy driver, and they have to explain the arrangements for leaving Beijing.
Despite this, he still paid attention to the news from the Pingwang Mansion.
I heard that when Prince Ping Nersu replied in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, he angered the emperor, so he reprimanded him fiercely......*
