What is the usual situation of physical recognition?

If Li was ten years old, he might have timidly asked "Are you really my father"; At the age of twenty, with anger and grief, he will ask why he ignored himself back then.

Now, she is over half a hundred years old, and she has a full house of children and grandchildren. Even if there was shock and grievance at first, after more than a month of hard work, the mood gradually calmed down.

Actually, it was relatively speechless.

Except for the initial concubine and the Li family kneeling to greet them, Kangxi opened his mouth and ordered the two to get up, and they never said a word again.

He couldn't say it, he wanted to ask what the Li family wanted, but what he wanted, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

This meeting is boring, the elderly emperor, the half-hundred-year-old woman, if she hugs her head and cries bitterly, it is grotesque.

Wang Concubine sat on the stool with low eyebrows, already sitting on pins and needles.

She thought that she would withdraw after the arrival of the holy car, but she witnessed this "father-daughter meeting".

"Look up." After a long time, I heard Kangxi say quietly: "Tell me to see you." ”

Although he didn't name him, Li also knew that he was talking about himself.

Her heart trembled slightly, but she slowly raised her head and looked at the old man sitting a few steps away.

The old age that could not be concealed made her heart tremble, and she was a little sour inexplicably.

Kangxi also looked at her, as if trying to find the shadow of his lover on her face.

The closer you are to death, the clearer it becomes as a teenager.

When he looked back on his life, he found that he was immersed in the glory of the emperor and had forgotten a lot. It wasn't until the supreme power of the emperor could not stop the gradual death that he realized that he was missing a lot.

He wanted to open his mouth to explain, telling the Li family that she was a golden branch and jade leaf, a noble princess. I also want to say that the reason why he was raised in the folk was not because he was ruthless, but because he obeyed her mother's wishes.

In the end, Kangxi didn't say anything, Li didn't say anything, and for most of the hour, there was silence in this room.

Looking at the emperor sitting in the chariot in the distance, Li only felt that his eyes were sour.

Wang Concubine was beside her, sighed faintly, stretched out her hand to hold Li's hand, and said, "If you want to open some, you are a blessed person, and you think about it." ”

Li Shi turned his head, looked at Wang Concubine, and nodded slowly...... Li did not stay in the palace for a long time, and after Kangxi left, she was about to say goodbye and leave.

The princess was not at ease in the end, so the little elder brother went to find the sixteenth elder brother, and wanted to ask the sixteenth elder brother to send the Li family out of the palace. It just so happened that the sixteenth elder brother also happened to come here, and he had a straight fight with the little eunuch.

Therefore, the sixteenth elder brother sent the Li family to Shenwu Gate. The carriage of the Cao family was waiting outside the Shenwu Gate.

On the way, I passed by Chuxiu Palace, and saw a team of show girls who wanted to enter Chuxiu Palace. The attendant of the team leader recognized the sixteenth elder brother, turned sideways to give way, and greeted the sixteenth elder brother.

Those girls to be drafted have a little immature faces, but they are low-eyed and pleasing to the eye, but they can't see which ones are particularly outstanding.

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at it, only felt troublesome, and strode to lead the Li family away.

Li was curious, and glanced at the show girls more. Because they all bowed their heads and wore the same clothes, they couldn't see anything.

Back then, Yan'er also entered the palace like this, right? In another three years, the two nieces of Dongfu will also enter the palace for selection like this.

Thinking of this, the speechless sadness of the father and daughter unconsciously faded.

Next year, the grandchildren will be sent to the official school, and I heard that the master in the family is going to make up the official, but I don't know what Mr. Xin's surname is. Changsheng's ears gave birth to chilblains last year, don't make a mistake this winter...... As the old folk saying goes, "the old son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old couple", as the princess said, she is a blessed person. Not to mention guarding the two roots, there are no older children who are not filial...... There was a little smile on his face, but when he lowered his head, he was full of tears...... Outside the Shenwu Gate, Cao Hao, who was wearing a supplementary uniform, stood in front of his carriage and whispered to Cao Yuan.

Today, it is said that the Li family entered the palace and was escorted by the chief administrator Cao Yuan. Chu Yu was going to come with her mother-in-law, but was left behind by the Li family.

Seeing Li come out, Cao Hao and Cao Yuan both stepped forward.

The sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao are common, but they don't have anything to say, and when they saw Li get into the carriage, they said goodbye to Cao Hao.

Cao Hao's guard waist card was handed back to the guard as early as when he left his post to guard filial piety. Therefore, if he wants to go back to the Yamen of the Household Department, he has to go far away.

However, he was worried about his mother and didn't have the heart to go to the yamen, so he had already made arrangements with the yamen and went back to the house directly.

The carriage rushed directly outside the second gate, and Cao Hao personally helped Li get out of the carriage.

Seeing his familiar hanging flower door, Li Shi exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his tense spirit finally relaxed.

"Mother......" Seeing that she was plain and indifferent, Cao Hao was afraid that she would be sad in her heart, so she called in a low voice.

Li raised his head, patted his son's arm, and said, "It's okay." ”

At this time, Chu Yu also got the news, and walked quickly to the second door with the two girls.

Li had already seen the second door, and when he saw his daughter-in-law in a hurry, he hurriedly said: "Go slowly, don't startle the child in your belly." ”

Chu Yu obediently slowed down and said, "I've been waiting for news from Ermen, but I actually fell asleep." ”

Li Shi had already approached, helped his daughter-in-law's arm, and said, "I have already shown my pregnancy, it is the time to sleep thirsty, what are you doing when you come out?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on her stomach, and his face was full of love.

Chu Yu and Cao Hao glanced at each other, surprised by Li's calm reaction.

Back in the Orchid Courtyard, Chu Yu avoided it, leaving the room for their mother and son to speak.

"Mother, ...... in the palace," Cao Hao asked.

Li raised his head and said, "I saw the emperor...... The emperor looked older than in previous years, ...... said after a pause: "I thought he would ask me for any favor, but I thought about it." If he wants to ask, let's hand over those things in Horqin, as well as the Ruyi given by the Queen Mother back then, so as not to leave it in our hands and cause trouble...... He didn't say anything when he got old...... I didn't talk much......"

After saying this, she didn't feel very sad, but worried about her son, and said, "Is this gold too peaceful at home?" Will it give birth to right and wrong? ”

"At the beginning, the sixteenth elder brother released his words and said that the gold was five thousand taels, and the rest was silver. It's just that the weight of gold and silver is different, and if someone is interested in probing, I am afraid that it will not be able to hide it. But it's nothing, this is a justifiable gift from the Queen Mother, so my mother can take it with peace of mind. It's just the two princely mansions of the Queen Mother's mother's family, let's prepare some courtesies. They also built a palace in the capital, but they didn't have to send it outside the customs. Cao Hao thought for a while and said: "Then there is the Queen Mother's side, and in more than a month, I will go to the Queen Mother to sacrifice and say, my mother will take out a few hundred taels of gold and give it to the temple to pray for the Queen Mother." For other belongings, it's better not to move for the time being, and our family is not short of this. ”

Li listened to his son's proper arrangement, and nodded his head and said yes.

She came back from outside, and before she changed her clothes and freshened up, Cao Hao didn't sit for a long time and returned to Wutong Garden.

Chu Yu was still worried, but after listening to what Cao Hao said, he could be considered at ease.

Cao Hao still wanted to go to the front yard to find Zheng Xie, so he changed into a patch suit, wore half-worn homely clothes, and went to the study in the front yard.

In the study, Zheng Xiezheng teaches the children painting skills.

Earlier, when Qian Chenqun was in Cao Mansion, his favorite disciple was Niuniu; Now Zheng Xie is in the Cao Mansion, and the most proud student is Zuo Cheng, the younger brother of the twins.

There is no other reason, just because Zuo Cheng is quite talented in painting and fell into Zheng Xie's eyes.

It can also be seen from this that these two do have their own Confucian backbone. will not sit in the Cao Mansion, and will belittle the disciples surnamed Cao such as Tianyou and Hengsheng, and despise others.

Cao Hao stood at the door, looking at the little radish head leaning over to paint in the room.

Since he came to Changsheng to go to school for a while, the Heavenly Protector of Dongfu has also begun to enlighten.

According to Cao Hao's original intention, he didn't want to divide his children into three, six, nine and so on, and wanted them to grow up safely and steadily.

However, it backfired.

Take the Eight Banners Official School as an example, only the children of the Eight Banners with the title or hereditary title can be enrolled, and the children of the fifth rank of civil officials and the third rank of military attaché can be enrolled.

The restrictions on admitting students over there are from 10 to 18 years old. Each flag only accepts 40 to 60 people every year, among which there are a fixed number of full flags, Mongolian flags, and coatings, and the competition can be described as fierce.

Cao Fu reluctantly enrolled in school that year, but because the Cao family was prosperous, he was the only one in that generation who entered the Eight Banners Official School.

When Sun Li entered the school, he took up the light of the coat flag. Just like his cousin Sun Chu, he was not eligible to enter the Eight Banners Official School, so he studied in a private school outside the Eight Banners Official School.

Cao Hao originally wanted to send them to the government school next year, so that they could also contact some partners and friends of the same age, so that they would not be strong in the house. However, this has become a hurdle.

Tianyou has a knighthood, and he is the eldest son of the earl's mansion, and his identity is enough. Hengsheng has no knighthood, but as Cao Hao, it is not difficult to move around and send more sons to official schools. This left lives and the left becomes two, but it is difficult to do.

Not only the two of them, but when Tianhu grows up, they are not qualified to enter the official school.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao couldn't help frowning. But for the sake of "fairness", Tianyou and Hengsheng are also bound in the house.

Where is true fairness in this world?

At this time, Zheng Xie has already seen Cao Hao. The children were handed over to draw first, and he came out to talk to Cao Hao.

I heard that the real shortage has been filled, Qipin Zhixian, he was excited, looked at Cao Hao, this word of thanks, I don't know how to announce it.

has lived in the capital for several years, and he also knows that it is not easy to make up for officials. It is easy to donate, but it has to be smashed with silver to make up for the shortfall.

Not to mention these miscellaneous donors, they are Jinshi who were born on the right path, if there is no silver to do, it is common to wait for three or five years.

These seven pins know the county, and they are also the official of the seal, and according to the rules, they are only awarded to Jinshi. If you are from a miscellaneous brand, it is even more difficult to make up for it.

Even if Cao Fu comes forward, the various coins of this supplement official are indispensable.

Thinking of this, he was already solemn, made a long bow to Cao Hao, and said: "The adult is kind, and the student is grateful for the five." It is a blessing for students to be able to get the attention of adults, and the amount of money is spent, and the adults are asked to tell them. One day, the students will return the number in full. ”

The money of these seven pinzhi counties is only a few dozen taels of silver, and Cao Hao spent more than two thousand taels to fill the gap for Zheng Xie. Just because this year is not the year of donations, and there are new jinshi, the cost of filling the vacancy is also rising.

However, Cao Hao did not plan to talk to Zheng Xie in detail.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Kerou, I also served as a foreign official in my early years. It is not easy for foreign officials, and the Shangguan of 'three festivals and two longevity' is filial piety, and all exchanges have to be wasted. The court is low, and corruption is rampant in officialdom. The capital is a little dilapidated, and the family is really short of silver, so I borrowed some silver, donated an official, and saved a rich family foundation after three years. How can one act in such a way with a gentle demeanor? I did spend some money on Krough, but for me, it was just a gesture. If Kerou wants to return it, pick a few calligraphy and paintings with me. Kerou is talented, there is always a time to become famous in the world, and then I will take advantage of Kerou. ”

By the end, he had a smile on his face.

Don't wait for the slightest contempt, the eyes are determined. Looking at Zheng Xie's eyes, it didn't look like he was looking at a broken talent, but like looking at everyone in Shilin.

Of course, Zheng Xie didn't know that he had left a mark in history, and thought that Cao Hao was a "discerning eye", not only believing in his own character, but also affirming his paintings.

He only felt that his chest was hot, his nose was sore, and he made a deep bow.

How many years later, he became famous all over the world, and he always respected Cao Hao like a father and brother, and he never changed...... * In Changchun Palace, the sixteenth elder brother listened to the princess tell about the "father and daughter" meeting, and he couldn't say anything, but thought of his own troubles, and said: "E-niang, there are enough people waiting around my son, and I ask E-niang to go to Chuxiu Palace often, so as to save who is thinking of his son and pointing out two to his son." ”

The princess hesitated for a moment and said, "Yesterday, Master De mentioned it once. Doesn't she have two nieces and granddaughters as candidates, listening to the rumors in the palace, Hongming is afraid that there will be no drama over there. Look at that meaning, if you don't point it out to Hongming, you will give it to you and your brother. Those two girls were taken to Rehe by Master De some time ago, and I have seen them. Although his appearance is not very good, he is also a good child with a gentle surname. ”

The sixteenth elder brother sneered and said, "She loves to be heartfelt." ”

Since the death of the Li family, except for Chang Fujin, the other concubines around the sixteenth elder brother have been in the room, and there is no side Fujin. Therefore, there is a rumor about this draft.

Concubine De and Concubine Yi have been fighting openly and secretly for half a lifetime, and the sixteenth elder brother doesn't want to harm his body, how can he be willing to get involved with Concubine De's mother's family.

"She can't do it, the two good girls have been sent to the palace for a year of conditioning, if they are all branded, where is the face of this virtuous master?" Wang Concubine said.

"E-Niang can stop it, but she can't stop it, E-Niang asked Concubine Yi to start first, pointing to two ordinary people's families, saving restlessness and making trouble for her son." The sixteenth elder brother took a back seat.

The princess knew that her son was annoyed on his face, but he actually felt sorry for his daughter-in-law.

She wasn't annoyed, but she remembered that her two grandsons were concubines, and she was somewhat regretful: "I heard that there is a recipe for asking for a son in the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion, so you can also inquire about it, and give your daughter-in-law Zhang Luo Zhang Luo." ”

The sixteenth elder brother listened and nodded in response, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Sixteen Fujin collapsed after giving birth last time, and he gave half of his surname not to mention, and he couldn't give birth anymore...... * Outside the Xizhi Gate, the dusty fourteenth elder brother rode on horseback, looked at the city wall in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Finally back......"
