"Mother......" Li Shi stood by the kang and called in a low voice.

Gao Taijun's blurred vision gradually became clear, looked at Li, and said, "Shuqing, ......"

Li endured it, did not cry, gently pulled Gao Taijun's hand, and said, "Well, my daughter is here......"

Gao Taijun looked behind the Li family, hesitated and said, "Ding's daughter-in-law, Da Lang and Erlang are also here......

Behind Li, it was Li Xu's stepwife Wang who took Li Nuo and Li Yu brothers.

Hearing Gao Taijun speak, the two brothers stepped forward, knelt down beside the Li family, and said, "Ancestor, it's the great-grandson who is here......

"Help the old woman up." Gao Taijun said softly.

Li and Wang stepped forward, helped Gao Taijun sit up, and put kang pillows behind the old man.

"Old woman...... I want to go back to Li's house......" Gao Taijun's voice was not loud, but it was unquestionable.

Li's eyes immediately turned red, and Wang hurriedly said: "It is long overdue to welcome the old lady back, it is time to go back, and let the children do their filial piety......"

Gao Taijun nodded and said, "The old woman's house ......"

"It's been cleaned all the time, and the kang is also caged, and people can live in it immediately." Wang's Road.

Gao Taijun was quite pleased, looked at the Li family and said: "The old woman is the Li family after all, what about Brother Hao and his granddaughter-in-law?" Squeak with them, and the old woman will move in. ”

"Brother Hao hasn't come back yet...... The daughter-in-law was still there, and the daughter-in-law in charge had just come and go, talking outside...... Even if my mother wanted to go back, she didn't rush these two days. The house that has been empty for several years always has to be cleaned up, and the children in the province are in a hurry, and the sister-in-law is also in a hurry. Li persuaded politely.

Gao Taijun is young and widowed, and his surname is strong, and he is the most unwilling to cause trouble to others.

After listening to her daughter's words, she hesitated, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then it is better to move later." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at the kneeling two and said, "The big thing of the old woman, I'm afraid it will eventually fall on your brother's head, you don't have to feel embarrassed, the old woman has already prepared the silver here, and you don't need to throw it away." ”

Li Nuo hurriedly said: "If there is no love from the ancestors, where can the great-grandchildren live in the capital." The ancestors will be able to live a long life, waiting for their grandson to grow up and be an old birthday star. ”

Gao Taijun listened to his words, his face became softer and softer, and he waved his hand and said, "Get up." As he spoke, he asked Wang again: "Will Brother Hai call someone?" ”

Brother Hai is Li Nuo's eldest son, and he has less than two lives now.

"Yes, it will coax people, the ancestor will know when he sees it, his nephew Uncle Xiao looks like San Lang when he was a child, and the ancestor will definitely like it." Wang said.

Among the many children and grandchildren of the Li family, Gao Taijun's favorite ones are Li Ding, Li Cheng, and Xiangyu, all three of whom were raised by her side when they were young.

Hearing that Brother Hai looked like Li Cheng, Gao Taijun smiled a little: "Another handsome boy...... But it's not good to be too pampered, Saburo's body is not good, it's just that he was too pampered when he was a child......"

The old man was in a good mood, his complexion also turned a little better, his face was ruddy, and he was no longer as gray as before.

Seeing this, the Li family sighed in his heart and swallowed the words that prevented Gao Taijun from returning to the Li family.

It is the wish of the old man, and she is a daughter who follows the old man's wishes, maybe the old man is in a good mood and can survive this winter...... In any case, Li always hoped for a turning point in his heart.

At this time, Chu Yu picked up the curtain and came in, followed by Qingmei with a tray.

In addition to the medicine bowl, there is also a bowl of hot porridge on the tray.

Chu Yu took the medicine and handed it to the Li family, and the Li family personally served Gao Taijun to drink the medicine and feed her porridge.

After saying this for a while, Gao Taijun was also a little tired, and after using the porridge, he lay down again.

Everyone retreated, Wang wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, choked and said to Li: "Mrs. Gu, let's ask someone to send a letter to Fengtian, even if our old lady can't leave, we have to let the old man come back." Dalang, they are so young, where can they take care of this? ”

Although the Li family still hopes that Gao Taijun can get through, he also has to make thorough preparations, and the provincial affairs will be in a hurry, so that the old man will not be able to live.

Li nodded, and Wang's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and then he hid it again.

As soon as Li Nuo wanted to speak, he listened to Li Yu and said: "Grandfather is also old, and he always has to keep people around to serve, and the eldest brother's errand is inseparable from people, no better than me just hanging a name in the Internal Affairs Office, or my grandson going to Fengtian to change his father's return." ”

Li Nuo hesitated for a moment and said, "When I went, it was the end of the year, and it would be ...... to take a little more leave."

Li Yu said: "Even if you take a leave of absence before the year, it is not good to delay it until the year after the year." The lord and wife are also old, so it is good to go back to Beijing to rest for a while. ”

Li Nuo listened to what he said, so he didn't force it.

Li was relieved to see their brothers, friends and brothers; Only Wang's face changed and changed, and his expression was a little stiff.

It was getting dark, and the kitchen had already set up a table, and Chu Yu asked her mother-in-law, so she asked someone to put the meal in the west house of the Shaoyuan.

Li Nuo and Li Yu's meal was placed in the middle hall of the Shaoyuan.

When the meal was served, Cao Hao also came back, so he had dinner with Li Nuo and Li Yu.

In addition to changing Li Nai's back to prepare for a big event, Li Cheng also has to go to Xin'er. As Gao Taijun's favorite great-grandchild, it is good to come back at the end of the year to accompany him for a while.

The rest, the longevity materials are all purchased, but there is nothing to show up.

Two days later, Cao Hao asked for half a day off from the yamen, and sent Gao Taijun back to Li's house with Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Gao Taijun's house, which is the landlord's house in the backyard of Li's house, has been cleaned up, and a brazier has been used to drive away the moisture.

Gao Taijun knew that Cao Hao was busy with errands, so he waved his hand to send him away early. is the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family, and Gao Taijun did not stay for a long time, letting them go back and be busy.

Li did not leave immediately, but met Wang and several nieces and daughters-in-law.

The Sun family is in Mukden with her husband, and the Wang family has long been out of housework, and now the head of the Li family's house is Li Nuo's wife, Quan.

The Li family had already prepared a money box, as well as ginseng, bird's nest and other medicinal supplements, and also prepared several boxes, all of which were handed over to the Quan's hands, and said: "The old lady is sick, so please ask your daughter-in-law to worry more about everything." ”

Seeing this, Quan hurriedly said: "Mrs. Aunt, you can keep the ginseng herbs or something, and you don't need the money." The uncle, the second master, and the third master all have errands now, and there is still some money left in the account......"

Li shook his head and said: "This is not my silver, it is the old lady's silver, the old lady's temper has always been like this, you just take it." If the old lady wants to eat something, if she wants to buy something, she will spend this money...... When it's time to do something big, I'll send someone to bring the silver......"

Quan couldn't push it again, so he had to bear it.

The Li family talked to the Wang family for a while, and gave Wang a copy of the medicinal supplements he brought, and then took Chu Yu back to Cao's mansion.

After a few days of hard work, the Tong family's case has intensified.

As Cao Hao said with the sixteenth elder brother, the greed of the Tong family's room finally caught fire.

The matter of Oro Dai's father and son supporting the eighth elder brother as the prince in the Kangxi Dynasty was turned over.

Oro Dai was removed from the throne and exiled to Mukden with his son Arsuna, but he still told him not to leave his family or his wife.

Oro Dai has a total of four sons, the second son, the third son died early, and now in addition to the eldest son, only the youngest son is alive, and the title of this branch has its youngest son.

Yue Xing'a's side, because of the disappointment of the Holy Grace, confiscated the family property and made up the balance of the Long Keduo case. Yue Xing'a himself served in front of the Heilongjiang Army.

The first-class duke left behind after the removal of the title of Ronkodo was succeeded by Namutu, the second son of Kwadai.

In less than half a month, the two mansions of the Tong family have changed owners.

The Tong family's two concubines were gone, and the title was inherited by the side branches.

For a family, the position of the eldest is indispensable.

Where will the clansmen be convinced?

Even if the heirs are now attacked by the side branches, and the elders are all there, even if the Tong family can't fall apart, they will no longer be monolithic.

The emperor's mind is just like that.

With the past of the Kangxi Dynasty, the famous "Tong Ban Dynasty" has gradually become history.

For those nascent officials who don't know the old things, this is just a means for the emperor to clearly "form a party"; Only the old ministers who have experienced the dispute over Kowloon know that the emperor is looking for another account.

For Cao Hao, what is next to him is not important, what matters is the official business of the household department, as well as the progress of maritime trade.

The household department has already sent a Lang Zhong south to Guangzhou as a front station to deal with this matter.

What the household department is doing now is to spread the news, recruit merchants from all over the world, and assemble caravans.

At present, the voyages must be in accordance with the monsoon solar terms, and the first sea trade is scheduled for next autumn.

The share of private merchants, the share of the imperial court, the share of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the proportion of various goods, etc., are not something that can be formulated on paper.

For a while, Cao Hao was so busy that he hit the back of his head.

At the same time, for the needs of the sea, it alarmed the military department.

The military headquarters will mobilize 5,000 sailors to train in the port of Tianjin.

Then, 1,500 of these sailors were selected to go south, and 1,500 of them joined the 1,500 Fujian sailors to become the guards of the imperial caravan.

For this reason, Cao Hao had several dealings with the military department's Shangshu Fahai.

Fahai, who had served as governor of Guangdong, knew more about maritime trade than anyone else, and he supported the new policy.

Cao Hao chatted with him twice and found that although he was a great talent who had been the prince's master, his thoughts were very lively.

Seeing this, Cao Hao couldn't help but wonder.

Compared with Kwa Dai, who was fifty years old and still had a lack of guards and no achievements, this diligent and innovative Fahai should be more in line with Yongzheng's eyes, why the two titles of the Tong family have nothing to do with him.

Then, after asking the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao knew the reason.

In the past few years since the emperor ascended the throne, the fourteen shells have been imprisoned or circled, and they have not been revealed.

There is everything outside, and the rumors that the emperor killed his brothers have come out, and there is no indication that the emperor has the intention of pardoning the rumors of the fourteen shells.

Only Fahai, who was the teacher of the Fourteen Beizi, once gave the emperor an excerpt and pleaded for the Fourteen Beizi......
