"Master, do you really want the third girl to be a palace maid?" An Shi got the news, frowned and said: "Although she was not born by me, but raised in front of me, if she is really sent into the palace to wait for people, she still doesn't know how to chew the root of her tongue outside, saying that I treat her poorly......"

She is now aggrieved in front of her husband, but in fact, she really doesn't see her being generous to her concubines and concubines.

Sun Wencheng was upset, listened to his wife's rambling, glared at her, and said, "Shut up!" ”

An pursed her lips, still a little unconvinced, but looking at her husband's gloomy face, she didn't dare to say more.

Sun Wencheng closed his eyes, opened his eyes for a while, and said to An's: "Don't be verbose, the third girl knows the height of her eyebrows and eyes, and it's good to enter the palace." ”

An didn't dare to be verbose anymore and went down in a daze.

Sun Wencheng's second son, Sun Jingong, stood on the side, saw his father's face dejected, and said, "If my father is not worried about the third sister, let's ask Chen Guiren to help take care of one or two, okay?" ”

Sun Wencheng shook his head and said, "Although the noble man gave birth to a prince, his status is not high, and now he is attached to Cining Palace, where can he have the ability to meddle in palace affairs?" Although your third sister is young, she has been living with her mother over the years, and she has suffered a lot of grievances, and now it seems that the previous tempering is her blessing. The emperor's move is for everyone to see, let's just accept it honestly, the coating is the coating, and it is the servant of the Internal Affairs Office. After decades of happiness, I'm a little frivolous. In the early years, the aunts and grandmothers of the Sun family often went to the palace on errands. ”

When Sun Jin heard this, he didn't say much.

Sun Wencheng glanced at him and said, "Your eldest brother is mediocre, and the fifth brother is used to being unorthodox by his wife, so I have to make you suffer more." These words, don't worry about the worries, concentrate on preparing for your homework, and prepare for the exam with your uncle. ”

Sun Jin responded, and respectfully retreated...... * Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden, and the upper room.

Cao Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard about Cao Ying's visit: "The Sun family is embarrassed to this point?" ”

Although he can't do anything for Sun Wencheng, he can't watch the Sun family open the pot. Sun Wencheng is Sun Taijun's most beloved nephew, and Sun Li and Sun Xian are the nephews of the Cao family.

Previously, when he heard that the Sun family had been dismissed, he asked someone to buy a Zhuangzi with 20 hectares of land.

However, I didn't send it over after the Sun family entered Beijing, I always felt that it was not to that point, and now it is too generous, which will create an illusion for the Sun family, and you can ask for it at will.

Cao Hao hates trouble the most, and he won't let himself get into an embarrassment.

Then, at Jiang Jian's suggestion, he made the Zhuangzi split into two and left it for the Sun and Li families.

It's not that he became stingy and reluctant to give up these few silvers, and then he had to take into account Yongzheng's preferences. He is the most disgusted with corrupt officials, although the Cao family's money is not greedy, after all, Cao Hao's father and ancestors have been weaving for two generations, and he cannot leave him with the impression that the Cao family is rich and extravagant.

"I heard that there is still a few pieces of silver left in the account of the Sun family, and a few days ago, people from Xuzhou came to ask for debts, and there was not a few money left. The eldest aunt and the fifth child of the Sun family have all received family law, and the wife of the Sun family is worried about the private room of the eldest aunt and grandmother, but the eldest aunt and grandmother insist that there is no. Mrs. Sun felt sorry for her son, so she forced her aunt and grandmother to go back to her parents' house to Zhang Luo ginseng, but the eldest aunt couldn't avoid it, and she didn't dare to go back to her parents' house, for fear that the second old lady would hear that she was going to make a big fuss, so she came to Xifu a few times, the first time, the fifth brother and sister took the ginseng to her, and when the second and third came back, the fifth brother and sister only said no. Chu Yu replied: "I see, my aunt and grandmother didn't really want to ask for ginseng, maybe they were forced by Mrs. Sun to be helpless, so they came over to go through the motions." It's just that I'm afraid that the fifth brother and sister wiped her face the first two times, and she was a little uncomfortable. ”

Because Sun Ban was beaten, Cao Hao had already heard what Wu Sheng said; Sun Jue's matter is the first time I have heard of it.

At this time, although the Sun family cannot say that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, but the savings are also limited, and the debts at this time are really worse.

Sun Wencheng is a partial, and he cherishes his name, and he will never fail to repay his debts, so the Sun family's economy is becoming more and more difficult.

After several days of trekking, Cao Hao and his wife were also tired, and after talking for a while, they rested early.

Early the next morning, Cao Hao went out to the yamen and asked Wu Sheng to send a post to Sun's house, and visit Sun's house after dinner.

Jiang Jian did not take a full month off, and went to the yamen with Cao Hao.

Because it was already April, everyone in the yamen changed their clothes and hats, and everyone looked a lot more energetic.

Before noon, Cao Hao heard a rumor with a nose and eyes that the fourteenth elder brother "loved beauty and lost the throne".

The fourteenth elder brother is the emperor's younger brother, and he has military merits in the northwest, even if he is not crowned prince, he should be crowned the king of the county. Although he was not officially crowned the king of the county, he was the king of the county as early as the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi.

After the emperor ascended the throne, the brothers have been crowned and promoted to four princes and county kings, and the sixteenth elder brother has attacked the title of Prince Zhuang.

Now, everyone knows that the emperor did this for a reason. The fourteenth elder brother is really too disagreeable, he loves the woman from the Yiqinglou Jifang, and never leaves day and night, so that the elder brother has not cried for more than ten years, and he also brought him to the northwest camp, and even took this woman back to Beijing for funeral.

The emperor originally wanted to crown his younger brother the prince, but he was angry with his surname and refused to make an order.

Just a few days ago, the first emperor was funeral, and the fourteenth elder brother also took his pet to the imperial mausoleum. Seeing this, the Queen Mother vomited blood in anger...... Although before, there were rumors that the emperor and the queen mother were not in harmony, so they didn't wait to see the fourteenth elder brother, but it was so illusory, after all, how the emperor and the queen mother's mother and son got along, few people could say.

As for the fourteenth elder brother, if the brother turns against him, it can only be slandered by everyone, and no one dares to question the legitimate surname of the emperor's succession. Whoever dares to say these things will be in trouble.

Since the Queen Mother fell ill, it has only been five days, and this rumor has spread all over the six parts, and there is still a lot of corroboration. For example, who has ever rented a house by the sea in Shicha, and the front and back yards of the fourteenth elder brother's outer house; Whose brother was on an errand in the Northwest Army, and he had seen the fourteenth elder brother running away with his favorite concubine; Whose brother-in-law is the third son of the second uncle's family, who is the defender of the imperial tomb, saw the fourteenth elder brother living with the beautiful concubine together.

Men also love gossip, and it is gossip that involves the love of beauties.

Cao Hao listened to it and only felt admired.

Whether the fourteenth elder brother has been circled or released, a "lustful and unfilial" hat is worn real.

A man is lustful, which is not a great evil, but he is so lustful that he delays military affairs, is unfilial to his parents, and alienates his wife and concubines, and he is an immoral person who is unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust.

At this time, even if the "Great General King" is mentioned again, only sarcasm remains.

At the same time, even if the news of the Queen Mother's illness came out, no one would think of the emperor.

This is the real defeat of the fourteenth elder brother, Cao Hao finally saw what "all mouths are gold".

What's even more admirable is that this rumor is seven points true and three points false, false and real, and no one can stand up and justifiably defend the fourteenth elder brother.

Cao Hao saw this, and was more cautious about the Sun and Li families in his heart.

If you really don't care about these two families, in the eyes of outsiders, you will be a villain who is weak and drives away advantages and avoids harm. If someone really uses this to attack him, there is really no place to shout wronged, who made him a "gentle and kind" Cao Hao.

When he came out of the yamen, he did not go directly to Sun's house, and then returned to the house with Jiang Jian.

"Everyone was attracted by the rumors of the fourteenth elder brother, and no one noticed that Dai Duo dismissed the political envoy of Sichuan and sent him to serve in front of the Qianyao army in the previous year." Jiang Jian said in a low voice.

"What about his brother Dai Jin, didn't he say that he made up for Yunnan Huixidao?" Cao Hao said.

The Dai brothers are the people of the palace, and the brothers of the same year are more loyal to Yongzheng, but because of their different identities, their achievements in the career are not as prominent as the brothers of the Nian family.

Regarding Dai Jin's release, Cao Hao was very surprised.

Although it is not yet the time for "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook", Dai Jin is a staff member of the Yongzheng Hidden Mansion and masters the core secrets of the palace.

Such a person does not extinguish his mouth, which seems to show that Yongzheng has nothing to say to others, and it is also legal to inherit the unification.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, no one has seen Dai Jin, and he only said that it was released to the outside world, and the students felt that it was not true. If there is really no change, Dai Duo will not lose the political envoy and let Nian Qianyao dominate the family in the northwest. Jiang Jian said.

Cao Hao heard what Jiang Jian meant, this Dai Jinxu had already lost his surname.

It's just that he is a staff member of the palace, and he also has the position of a subordinate official of the palace, if he disappears directly, it will inevitably cause speculation among people with intentions.

A "outside" down, thousands of miles away in the southwest of the border, just faded out of the capital's magnates.

Back in the house, Cao Hao changed into his regular clothes, put on a title deed of the grange, and then sent someone to pay five hundred taels of silver from the account room, and took a few small servants to the grandson's house.

Sun Wencheng was already ready to entertain guests, and he was also wondering about Cao Hao's intention.

He has already seen that Cao Hao is a person who "protects himself with wisdom", and he will not even help the Li family in prison, let alone the Sun family, whose relatives are more distant.

When Sun Jue heard that Cao Hao was coming, he struggled to get up and wanted to come to the front hall to accompany the guests, but was scolded back by Sun Wencheng with a straight face.

In the living room of the front yard, Sun Wencheng left only the second son Sun Jin.

Hearing that Cao Hao had arrived, Sun Wencheng took his second son out to greet him.

Cao Hao saw the two of them, saw each other, and followed their father and son to the living room to sit down.

Sun Jin was older than Cao Hao, and when he heard Cao Hao call him "second cousin", his expression was respectful, and he sat under his father and refused to say more.

Although he has seen it very few times, Cao Hao also knows the situation of the sons of the Sun family clearly, and knows that although Sun Jin is a concubine, he is the son that Sun Wencheng really relies on.

Sun Wencheng looked several years older than a month ago, but he still spoke slowly and calmly.

Cao Hao accompanied him to say a few words of greeting, and then said: "There are a few words I want to say to my cousin, I don't know if my cousin is free?" As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Jin.

Hearing this, Sun Wencheng nodded, waved his hand to Sun Jin and said, "You go to study, you don't have to accompany the guests." ”

Sun Jin responded honestly and said goodbye to Cao Hao.

Cao Hao got up to return the salute, and when he went out, he sat down again, and said, "The second cousin is mature and steady, and the cousin has a son like this, which is really a great blessing." ”

Sun Wencheng followed his son's back and said with a little shame: "It's all my fault, I only thought about keeping him to help me with trivial things in my early years, and didn't let him go out early......*
