Listening to Dai Jin's words, although Li Wei had a smile on his face, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Who is Dai Jin? is the staff that the fourth elder brother relies on, and there is a brother who serves as a platform outside. Externally, it is also the home of the eunuch, but in front of the fourth elder brother, he is a slave.

That's right, their brothers are all disciples of Prince Yong's Mansion and minions of the fourth elder brother.

In this capital, there is no shortage of minions.

The Eight Banners have leaders on them, the masters of the flags, and the emperor's masters of the Eight Banners.

The decent servants of the palace are even the governors of other places, and they dare not offend at will. If this were not the case, there would be no disciples of the third elder brother, under the banner of the third elder brother, to collect money in the southwestern provinces.

In this world, there are also those who are willing to take the initiative to join the slaves, such as the Ren brothers who worked as errands in Caofu.

Many flag people, wishing there was a powerful master, who would mention the future and be wiped out for several lifetimes.

Li Wei didn't want to be a slave, but right now, there was no chance for him to choose.

He dared to offend the mediocre iron hat county king, but he didn't dare to offend the fourth elder brother, the prince and elder brother who was in charge of the affairs.

What was sent to him was not just a "concubine", but also a naked solicitation.

The fourth elder brother and Dai Jin both looked at Li Wei, Li Wei was "plopping" and "plopping" in his heart, and he had already stood up and said to Dai Jin: "If Dai Ye doesn't dislike Li Weiguan's small family, he will bother Dai Ye to be an iceman." ”

Dai Jin glanced at the fourth elder brother, saw him nodding, stood up, helped Li Wei up, and said with a smile: "Lord Li is polite, it will be a family in the future, it's better not to go outside......"

Coming out of Prince Yong's mansion, Li Wei was in turmoil.

Riding on a horse, looking at the majestic gate of the palace, he did not have the joy of clinging to the palace in his heart, only unwillingness.

Waving the reins, he always maintained a happy look on his face, until he returned to the house, closed the door, and he was the only one left, he hated and said, "Grandma......"

* A day before the seal of the six yamen, Cao Hao finally waited for the resumption of the text.

When he saw the words "the right waiter of the household" and "arrived after the holiday", Cao Hao was relieved.

Although the second grade is a little higher with his age, but as expected, Kangxi did not have any more moths, which caught Cao Hao off guard.

In the next two years, as long as he hugs the fourth elder brother's thigh and does not let go, the peace and prosperity of the Cao family will be preserved.

Facing the known future is better than facing a blank and making people's hearts feel at ease.

Because of his identity as a Heshuo forehead and the title of a second-class earl, Cao Hao, a second-class waiter, is not eye-catching.

After all, now he is no longer the eldest son of the Cao family who relies on his father's ancestor Yu Yin, but the head of the Cao Mansion.

Although Li believes in his son's guard, he also knows that the bigger the official does, the more dangerous it is. When Kali was the governor of Liangjiang, he was in the limelight for a while, and in the end he still broke his house.

"Is the emperor's grace too much? Your father and your uncle stayed up to more than half a hundred before they were given the title of second grade. While Li was happy for his son, he was afraid that he would "make a big move", and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"Mother, there are two Shangshu and four waiters in the household department, and there are several princes and elder brothers in charge of the affairs, where do you need your son to contribute? It's just that the emperor remembers the old lady's affection for her father and gives it dignity. Cao Hao naturally wouldn't say that Kangxi Bacheng treated him as a money bag or something, and changed his rhetoric to comfort his mother.

Over the years, the palace has been generous to the Cao family's rewards, and the Li family listened to his son's words, and did not doubt it, and said: "That's good, after all, you are young, you will be less in the limelight in the future, be diligent and erranded, and you must not live up to the emperor's grace." ”

And so on, Li said a lot.

This is the difference between a mother and a father, the mother mostly hopes that her son will be safe and happy, but the father often hopes that his son will become a dragon and shine on the lintel.

Cao Hao listened to Li's words and sighed a little. Is it really because of the age, when the parents preached in the previous life, they only felt nagging; In this life, after listening to these words, I only have a warm heart.

In addition to Li's nagging, the rest is the exhortation of the housekeeper Cao Yuan.

Cao Hao is already the head of the family, and it is not appropriate for the subordinate to be called uncle, it is time to call him "master". Otherwise, in the past, the various provinces come and go, and they are called "master" outside, and "uncle" at home, which is messy and ridiculous.

Although Cao Hao didn't like this title, he could only follow the customs, so the whole house changed his words. Cao Hao and Chu Yu were upgraded to "master" and "wife", and Li was upgraded to "old lady".

Cao Xiang has already sent a letter back from home, and he has arrived in Henan with his family and completed the handover in the yamen.

Even Cao Song, who was far away in Xining, also handed the letter back. The letter to his wife and daughter and mother is nothing more than a report of safety or something, but in the letter to his cousin Cao Hao, there are many complaints.

There is no other reason, that is, because of his status as a guard, he is inseparable from the Chinese army, and he has not had the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person.

It's really hot-blooded, if Cao Song is in front of him, Cao Hao really wants to kick him twice.

Are people so easy to kill? In addition to the professions of butchers and executioners, it is said that the heart is as hard as a stone, and ordinary people will feel uneasy when they kill someone.

Let's just say that Cao Hao, when he saw the corpse for the first time, he was disgusted for several days.

Even if he made a black hand and killed Li Ding, every time he saw the Li family, he couldn't be calm in his heart.

Looking at Cao Song's letter, Cao Hao thought of his brother-in-law Hongshu, who was also in the Northwest Army, and was a little worried.

Chu Yu has three half-brothers, and Cao Hao has the best relationship with Hongshu, the brother-in-law. Among these descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family, most of them are monkey spirits, and there are few simple people like Hongshu.

Brother Hongsheng of Prince Cheng's Mansion and Hongsheng of Prince Heng's Mansion have all been sealed as princes a few days ago, and they are in the same class, compared with the grade of Beizi.

There is no concubine in the Chunjun Palace, and Hongshu's identity as the heir has long been the default of the palace. As early as ten years ago, Hongshu began to socialize in place of his father.

Not only was Cao Hao worried, but even Chu Yu was surprised to hear the news that his younger brother was not among the entitlements, and he also went back to the palace in the name of asking for peace.

I don't know how the seventh elder brother comforted him, Fang Fujin didn't see anything unhappy, but comforted his daughter not to worry about her mother's family, so that she could take care of her body and say that she would have another brother as soon as possible.

Cao Hao didn't have a good time asking about the family affairs of the palace, but he still got the news from Hongxin, saying that he meant that the seventh elder brother would wait for his son to return to Beijing and ask for the seal, and he was not in a hurry.

Cao Hao didn't believe it, this letter to the eldest son of the county king not only determined Hongshu's political status, but also the corresponding Yulu. Hongshu has reached the age, and there is no reason to delay and not ask for a seal. His delay, Hongzhuo's request for sealing, will also be postponed.

Cao Hao thought that Hongshu was by the side of the fourteenth elder brother, and his heart was heavy.

Even if Hongshu had a mediocre relationship with the fourteenth elder brother earlier, in the three years of the Northwest Army, the uncle and nephew did not have a relationship, but they also had a relationship.

In the eyes of others, Hongshu is the "Fourteenth Party".

Cao Hao's biggest concern finally showed some signs.

In this officialdom, in addition to the family, it is also important to pay attention to foreign relatives, and the wife family and the mother family are inextricably linked.

Due to the difference in the identity of the Li family, Cao Hao can alienate the Li family; But on the side of King Chun's mansion, it is Cao Hao's wife and Tianyou's mother family, and they have nothing to do with the Cao family for decades.

With the surname of the fourth elder brother, if he really suspects or believes that Hongshu and the fourteenth elder brother are in a party, then the identity of Hongshu's heir cannot be kept.

Not only that, but even the futures of Hongzhuo and Hongxin, the two half-brothers, may be ruined.

From the beginning of Shunzhi to the present, there is no shortage of people in the clan who have won the title, and after the title is taken, they are all inherited by the side support.

Chunjun Palace, not only Hongshu and their three royal grandsons.

Cao Hao thought about this, how could he stand by and watch again. Xiao Nian said that he went to ask the seventh elder brother to say goodbye, and the two of them had a sincere conversation in the study of the palace.

"Father-in-law, Hongshu can't stay in the Northwest Army anymore...... Regardless of whether the emperor has the eldest son of the king of the county this time, Hongshu will stay in Xining again, and the situation in the future will probably become embarrassing...... "There are no outsiders present, and Cao Hao is also a little less concerned and gets straight to the point."

The seventh elder brother is also difficult to endure, and there is no one to discuss in his heart.

Hearing his son-in-law mention this, he sighed and said, "After the elder brother of King Jian's mansion came back, I was on the fold and was rejected by the emperor. I also wrote to Hongshu, but he did not want to return to Beijing. Now that the Northwest Army has been dormant for two or three years, it has only begun to attack the city slightly, and that stupid boy is still waiting to make a contribution! ”

"Can you think of summoning him back to Beijing? Father-in-law...... Hiroshi was too close to that one...... Even if you are open in your heart, you will be suspicious......" Cao Hao said after pondering.

When the seventh elder brother heard this, he raised his head and said, "If I go up again, it will make the emperor unhappy, and I am afraid that it will also delay Hongshu's future......"

Hongshu is the eldest son he relies on the most, how can he not worry, but he has too many scruples and throws a mouse.

"The emperor is the most 'lenient', even if he is unhappy, he will not punish the emperor's grandson for no reason. Even if Hongshu has had a hard time in the past two years, it is better than ruining his future because he is too close to that person......" Cao Hao saw that the seventh elder brother hesitated, and said more and more earnestly.

Seeing that his son-in-law was so optimistic about the fourteenth elder brother, the seventh elder brother didn't ask much.

The fourteenth elder brother led the troops to the battle, which was a matter of blessing and misfortune, and the gamble was his luck.

Listening to the meaning of the son-in-law, he does not believe that the destiny of heaven belongs to the fourteenth elder brother. In the heart of the seventh elder brother, he was quite melancholy.

Because of his background, he withdrew from the power struggle early and became a lonely and idle prince. Since Hongshu was named to go on the expedition, he has also had luck in his heart, looking forward to Hongshu's achievements.

Now, he's completely calm.

He can't afford to gamble, he can't use his son's future to gamble on fame and power.

He nodded, his expression became firm, and said, "I know, I will think of a way to summon Hongshu back to Beijing after the year......

Cao Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

I only hope that Hongshu can come back as soon as possible and get rid of the relationship with the fourteenth elder brother. As for his brother-in-law Nersu, Cao Hao really can't do anything.

The emperor's trust is limited, even if the fourteenth elder brother is Kangxi's favored prince, Kangxi will not hand over the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest to him alone. The existence of Narsu is very important.

Although it was a concubine, because of the special identity of this "concubine", Li Wei did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and sent an invitation to eat and drink.

People in the capital who had friends with him all received invitations from Li Wei, and Cao Hao was no exception.

Cao Hao took the post, quite strange, when did Li Wei become so ostentatious? This concubine is not a wife, and during the New Year, all families are busy celebrating the festival and setting up wine, which is a bit of a ceremony.

Although he was surprised, Cao Hao still made people prepare a generous gift and went to eat wine.

When he heard that the bride was a maid in Prince Yong's mansion, Cao Hao understood that Li Wei was not a "swagger", but a "notice". Presumably, his entry into the flag is not far away...... Li Wei was drunk, shouting loudly to entertain the guests, wearing a big red clothes, looking happy.

The sound of firecrackers rang for half an hour, falling confetti all over the ground and dancing in the wind......
