Not long after Shou Cheng left, a group of several people rode to the governor's palace.

And a long attendant took the prayer slip and brought it to the porter.

Because when Cao Song came a few years ago, he was stopped at the door, so Zhang Yi, who was in charge of the access control of the Governor's Palace, also had a surname. None of the cunning disciples remained, and the rest were honest.

I heard that it was someone from the capital, and the porter did not dare to delay, so that someone held a prayer post and passed it in.

Cao Hao had already left the official residence, returned to the backyard to go to the upper room, changed into his official uniform, and prepared to have dinner.

Because of the front and back mansions of the Governor's Palace, in order to pass on the cheapness, the official residence arranged a few small servants to be on duty. If there is urgent official business in the front office, there will be a small servant to the upper room to spread the word.

Hearing that it was from Beijing, Cao Hao was a little surprised.

Except for Yongzheng, who would send people to inspect the green camp, I didn't hear that anyone else planned to go out of Beijing.

When he opened the prayer post, he stood up with a "Teng" face.

Seeing this, Chu Yu tightened curiously and said, "Who is here?" ”

"Quickly make the kitchen pick up two tables of good dishes, and give Brother Fusen the wind, Brother Fusen is here......" After saying this, Cao Hao couldn't wait and strode out.

Seeing that her husband had lost his usual calmness, Chu Yu couldn't help but call the two girls to the kitchen to spread the word.

From the upper room to the gate of the front yard, there is also a small half-mile road, and when Cao Hao hurried to the gate in one breath, his forehead was already sweating.

The summer is long, although it is evening, but the sky is bright.

The familiar figure was in front of him, and Cao Hao's originally agitated mood gradually calmed down.

The two hadn't seen each other for several years, but the smile on Naranfuson's face had turned away from the years as if they had never been separated.

"Brother Fussen!" Cao Hao took two quick steps and stepped forward.

"Furuo!" Naranfusen laughed.

He is more than ten years older than Cao Hao, and he is already not confused, but his eyes are still calm and clear. When he saw Cao Hao, his eyes fluctuated a little, it was the joy of reuniting after a long absence, and the appreciation of seeing his brother's success.

"Is this back to Beijing?" Cao Hao asked with a little joy.

Nalan Fusen nodded and said, "Commander of the Yellow Banner Protector!" ”

Nalan Fusen was released out of Beijing in his early years, but only in Shandong; Later, Brother Jiu plotted to seize the family property of Nalan Mansion, and he was also quite jealous of Nalan Fusen, a descendant of Nalan Fusen, and he didn't know what he did in the military department to transfer Nalan Fusen to Fujian.

Fortunately, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Jue Luo Manbao, was born in Jinshi, and he loves drinking water words the most. Love the house and Wu, and also take care of Nalan Rongruo's concubine, and Nalan Fusen's son is not having a hard time.

Cao Hao was familiar with Fu Sen, and he was very angry about him, and he wanted to help him return to Beijing. However, Nalan Fusen, who was really tired of family disputes, and did not want to be a head-on enemy with Brother Jiu, politely rejected Cao Hao's kindness and stayed in Fujian.

When Yongzheng came to power, Cao Hao once sent a letter to Fujian to ask about Nalan Fusen's return to Beijing.

In his reply, Nalan Fusen mentioned that he had been taken care of a lot by Manbao, and he couldn't bear to leave Fujian first, and so on.

Unexpectedly, now there is no news of Manbao returning to Beijing, and Nalan Fusen has already walked around from the capital to Qingyuan.

The door was not the realm of talking, and the two of them went directly into the governor's palace and went to the official residence.

"There was not even the slightest movement before, could it be that there was any change in Fujian officialdom?" Waiting for the little guy to deliver tea, Cao Hao asked.

Among the governors of the world, those who have been running a place for more than ten years, except for Nian Qianyao, only Jueluo Manbao.

Even the governor took the governor to appoint, Jueluo Manbao ran Fujian for 17 years, and also made military merits in the middle, and has been added to the military department.

When Yongzheng first came to power, there was news that Jueluo Manbao was going to return to Beijing, but in the end, he couldn't do it. With Jueluo Manbao's qualifications, it is impossible to get up from Jingtang after returning to Beijing.

Only those who are admitted to the cabinet and become a university scholar can match their status.

But the scholars of this dynasty have the name of the prime minister, and they have no power as the prime minister, but they are the government affairs of the imperial counselor, and they are a lack of pensioners.

Jueluo Manbao only knew the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and he was regarded as a young Zhuang faction among the Xinjiang ministers. I don't know if it's Yongzheng or not, in short, the world's governor has been replaced, and Jueluo Manbao is still stable in Fujian.

"Lord Manchu is not in good health, he wants to sue for illness, and he wants to go back to Beijing to recuperate, but he has been left by the emperor several times. Unexpectedly, there was no movement on the Governor's side, and the following few civil and military officials who were friendly with the Governor's Mansion were transferred to other places and transferred back to Beijing, accounting for most of them. Naranfusen sighed and said.

When Cao Hao heard this, he knew it.

It seems that Yongzheng is also wary of Manbao.

It's just that Fujian and Zhejiang face Taiwan across the sea, the people are fierce, and they are far away from the capital, so it is not easy to find a suitable candidate for the governor.

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Cao Hao persuaded: "The transfer of officialdom is also human nature. Perhaps it was the emperor's reluctance to be full of governors, so he only transferred the officials below, saving personnel from lasting for a long time and breeding malpractices. ”

When Nalan Fusen heard this, he was not relaxed, his expression became more and more helpless, and he smiled bitterly: "Even if the emperor is heavy, I'm afraid that the Lord Manchu won't be able to survive......"

Seeing his sad face, Cao Hao couldn't help but be stunned: "Governor Man is only in his early fifties...... Could it be that he is really sick......"

Although at this time, everyone's lifespan is limited, but this refers to the common people's homes.

There are many people who are officials and eunuchs, and live to be seventy or eighty.

"Fujian is hot and humid, and official business is busy, even young people have a hard time. Man is fifty-three years old, but he is sick. Since the year before, I have developed asthma again. In his condition, he should have been sick and recuperating. But not long after the new emperor ascended the throne the year before last, the political situation was unstable, and the Manchu people were afraid of causing trouble, so they could only endure it; At the beginning of this year, the more seriously ill the Manchu people became, and even handed over several pleas to return to Beijing, but they were all lost in the sea. By now, the Manchurian adults have given up, and even Shoucai has asked his family to prepare properly. You can't go back alive, and you always have to return to your roots after you die. Naranfuson's tone was low, with a hint of sadness.

After listening to Nalan Fusen's words, what appeared in front of Cao Hao was not Nalan Fusen, but Cao Yin.

Cao Yin was not allowed to live long, which was also because he worked too hard in Jiangnan in his early years.

"I just hope for the good." Cao Hao didn't know how to persuade and said.

Nalan Fusen lowered the atmosphere, he hadn't mentioned anything serious, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I came this time to inspect the green camp of Zhili on the dictation of the emperor, and I am afraid that I will disturb Furuo for a while." ”

Cao Hao was overjoyed this time, and said with a smile: "Great, it's Brother Fusen who is doing the Qincha!" After all these years of separation, it is a good time to get together ......"

Halfway through his words, he felt that something was wrong.

Yongzheng said that he sent someone down in June, why did he advance it by more than half a month? Besides, Nalan Fusen has just arrived in Beijing, why didn't he stay for a while and came out again?

However, it was rare to turn the atmosphere around, Cao Hao didn't want to spoil the fun anymore, so he pressed the question in his heart, and didn't say it, but just told the little maid to go to the room to spread the word and see if the banquet was set.

After a while, the little servant came back and said, "Master, Mrs. said that the banquet has been prepared, is it placed on the side of the official residence or in the upper room?" There are also the seventh masters and several young masters who have come back from the academy, did they come to greet Master Nalan? ”

"If you want to see them, tell them to come and pay respects. Tell the wife to send someone to the old lady and bring the third young master over. Cao Hao said.

Without waiting for the little guy to answer, Nalan Fusen got up and said, "Speaking of this, it's really rude, I just took care of saying goodbye to Fu Ruo, so I should go and ask Mrs. Tai for peace first." ”

Cao Hao and Nalan Fusen are good friends, and the two families are also very familiar with each other.

Seeing Nalan Fusen mention this, Cao Hao asked the little guy to take the first step, passed the word to the Li family, and then accompanied Nalan Fusen to the Li family.

Seeing that it was his son's friend, Li's attitude was very gentle, and he asked a few words about Nalan Fusen's wife and children.

When he came back from the Li family, Changsheng led everyone over to meet the guests. Only Tianbao fell, because he had only seen it at Li's place, and he didn't come again.

Seeing Changsheng and God bless Zhilan Yushu, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers are also good, Nalan Fusen couldn't help but praise a few words.

Except for Changsheng, who was young when Nalan left Beijing and didn't remember Nalan Fusen well, when the others saw him, they all showed a little closeness, and they were all "Shibo".

In between talking, Zuo Zhu also asked about the current situation of the three sons of the Nalan Fusen family.

The three sons of Nalan Fusen are the same age as Tianyou and Zuozhu, and they played together in their early years.

"I have been in office with me, a few days ago I went to Beijing, entered the Eight Banners to study, and my homework was not good. If there is Yuan Song, a few of you are half motivated, I will be relieved. Naranfusen said.

While speaking, the banquet had already been delivered, so Cao Hao sent the children down and personally cleaned the dust for Nalan Fusen.

The lotus white in a jar of two catties was filled with more than half by Cao Hao and Nalan Fusen.

Nalan Fusen was already drunk and weak, and was supported by a few healthy servants before being sent to the Yin Hotel for placement.

* Beijing, Caojia East Mansion, Zhaojia Room.

In front of Zhao Jiashi, there was a plate of cut watermelon.

She pinched a piece, ate two bites and put it down, Chunhua and Su Xin, who were standing on the side, said: "On a hot day, eating these sweets, sweating is sticky." I think of the water chestnut in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time, the water chestnut and lotus seeds can also be eaten......"

Jinghui's delivery date is approaching, and she has long been exempted from the rules, except for a trip every morning, she will have a baby in Dongkuan Hospital at other times.

Chunhua just listened with a smile and didn't answer. Su Xin glanced at her, followed Zhao Jia's words, and said: "Daxing's Zhuangzi opened a new lotus pond last year, and Ming'er sent someone to bring some lotus seeds back...... Not to mention the delicious taste, it will lose fire if you eat it......"

"I don't know what happened to your second uncle...... "Where did Zhao Jia's family want to eat, but because the eldest son is in Jiangning, he misses the life in Jiangnan.

In the early years in Jiangnan, no matter how prominent the weaving mansion was, no matter how beautiful the Cao family was, she was just a five-grade pleasant. In and out of entertainment, it's just a follower of the mother-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law.

Now that she is old, she is more precious than her son, and she has become a second-class lady.

The second-grade fate is nothing in the capital, but it is one of the best in the local area, which makes Zhaojia's family look forward to returning to Jiangning more and more.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and the Cao Xiang brothers came back from outside and came over to say goodbye to Zhaojia.

Looking at Cao Xiang's supplement, Zhao Jiashi only felt dazzling, waved his hand, and sent them down, along with Chunhua and Su Xin.

A few people walked to the gate of the courtyard, and saw a little maid hurriedly running over, with an eagerness: "Fourth master, fourth wife, fifth master, fifth wife, our wife is about to give birth......
