Nowadays, on the market, silver is cheap, and copper plates are expensive. One tael of silver could be exchanged for a thousand yuan earlier, but now it can only be seven or eight hundred yuan.

Some businessmen in the people recycle copper coins and refine copper utensils to change hands for several times the profit, so that the circulating money is getting less and less, and the price of money gradually rises.

As soon as they came and went, some people made fake copper coins and circulated them in the market.

The imperial court's repeated orders and prohibitions were loud and rainy, and there was no effect. After all, those who dare to take the risk of making a big disapproval and engage in these businesses are all mixed up with the powerful people in Beijing behind the scenes, where can it be banned with a piece of paper?

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

This is a bit far away, but the price of goods in the capital nowadays, two pennies for a fire, even if the dim sum in Daoxiang Village is ten times that of one or two, it is only a few dollars?

Even monthly, quarterly, and yearly, there were ten taels or eight taels of silver.

Therefore, when the fourth elder brother said that he would send money to the counter, Cao Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just a little filial piety, don't bother the fourth master!" ”

The fourth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao, but there was a rare warmth on his face, and said: "One yard is one yard, in the end, it is a business to make a living, there is no reason to give it away." Besides, there are many palaces in this capital, even if it is a small thing, it can't be picky. If you want to be filial, just send some Buddha incense as in previous years. ”

There were not a few taels of silver, but the fourth elder brother said this again, so Cao Hao didn't say anything more, and replied: "I have already sent someone to Jiangning, and before Laba, I can make a batch of incense and send it." ”

The fourth elder brother listened, nodded with satisfaction, and rode away with the guards and his entourage.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother returned to the palace together, several brothers from Zhaojia Mansion continued to look for a restaurant and dinner with Yi Duli, and Cao Hao went back with Nersu along the way.

When the thirteenth elder brother came out of the mansion, Cao Hao asked what he was confused about: "Brother-in-law, what kind of wind is this, why did you come here today?" ”

Nersu said with a smile: "A few days ago, wasn't it the Wenjun Wangfu and the Anjun Wangfu that choked in two places?" I was dragged to talk to the two families, and it was really touching. Although Hui Hui is a bastard, Winbel picked up his crutches and hit him twice when he remembered it, and chased after him. But this is also to be Lao Tzu, and outsiders dare to bully, and the first one who does not follow is also Umbele. No, yesterday I took someone to the Anjun Palace, and forced a few boys over there to kowtow and confess. ”

The entanglement between these powerful people, Cao Hao has also heard a few words.

The Wenjun Wangfu mentioned by Nersu was the mansion of Meng'e, the fifth son of Prince Su of Emperor Taizong. Meng'e's second son, Yanshou, inherited the title of county king in his early years, and later joined Mingzhu to fight with the Suo Etu party and was demoted to Baylor.

It's just that the people in Beijing are used to it, and they still call it the Wenjun Wangfu over there, and Hui Hui is the eldest son of Wen Beile Yanshou, and he is called a cage bird, wandering around the city, and occasionally doing some bullying of men and women. If it weren't for the strict management of the Zongren Mansion, he would have watched it closely, which made him act a little restrained, and he would have made a big mess a long time ago.

A few days ago, it seemed to be in the theater garden at the front gate, because of the horns, several children of the Anjun Royal Mansion met together and started to move.

There was a shortage of manpower on Huihui's side, and he was beaten up by a few children from the Anjun Palace.

Listening to the meaning of Nersu's words, this son was beaten and replaced by Lao Tzu.

It's just the normal situation of the world, Cao Hao smiled and didn't say anything more.

I heard Nersu continue: "Maybe in the eyes of the Long Live Lord, it is not pleasing to look at the Thirteenth Master, but after all, it is the prince's elder brother and the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family." If others dare to make face to the Thirteenth Master, even if the Long Live Lord doesn't say it on his face, it will be regarded as a great disrespect in his heart.

This dog beating still depends on the owner, not to mention the prince who is the most favored prince of Long Live Lord. When you entered Beijing late, you didn't know the scenery before the Thirteenth Master. He started working as an errand when he was a teenager, and he followed him every year, even those older princes didn't dare to underestimate this old thirteen.

Whoever can explain the affairs of this sect clearly, and who can't keep it all will make a fortune. The dismissed prince Belledo, and there are many elder brothers who have been directly named county kings and princes. I have thought about it, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, even if it is not for anything else, just to make a good fate, it is also good. ”

Although this is a utilitarian statement, it is a great truth.

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Brother-in-law is right, it is better to be kind to others than to be evil with others." Besides, the Thirteenth Master is rarely talented, so he won't keep going on like this, there will always be a blockbuster. Perhaps, today's brother-in-law's kindness will have great blessings in the future. ”

Nersu smiled: "I have thought about it, I will be my Taiping prince honestly in the future, and I will have a good birth with your sister and teach my son, isn't this also a good thing?" There's no need to worry about those ones, cling to those ones, it's good to be at ease like this. ”

Speaking of this, his expression changed solemnly, and he said, "The Fourteenth Master's side...... In the future, I will stay away from him, the eldest brother and the prince of the year, were circled in front, isn't that a beautiful scenery? Let's just say that the eighth elder brother, who is now in an embarrassing situation, was also able to call the wind and rain in the past two years. Long live the Lord tossing his own son, whether it is beating or scolding, or appreciating, it is all their father and son's own business. If we are mixed in, we will be rejected. ”

These words, Cao Hao also said to Nersu last time, but they were not as thorough as he thought now.

Indeed, even if he is an emperor, Kangxi still has an identity, that is, an elderly father, suspicious, irritable, and moody.

"Brother-in-law is right, let's just watch the excitement in the future. As long as we act correctly, even if there are storms in Beijing, they will not affect us. Cao Hao said.

Nersu smiled, remembering the attitude of the fourth elder brother, frowned slightly, and said: "The thirteenth elder brother is okay, the surname of the fourth elder brother is widowed and unkind, and the most cold, although there is kindness in the early years, but you should also be a little vigilant between the exchanges." ”

Listening to the meaning of Nersu's words, it seems that he has no good impression of the fourth elder brother, and I don't know if he was influenced by the fourteenth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother is usually a dead face, and he does not have any good popularity in the clan.

Cao Hao wanted to defend him, but he couldn't say anything, so he said: "The fourth elder brother is a practical person, and this diligence is also the best among the princes and elder brothers, and the brother-in-law should not believe in people's words, and he needs to see more for himself to really know ...... in his heart."

While talking, they had reached a crossroads, and the two said goodbye and went home separately.

When he arrived at the gate of Cao's mansion, Cao Hao turned over and dismounted, remembering what Nersu had said about favors. On Zhao Jia's side, because of Cao Song's affairs, he also complained a lot about Cao Hao.

It's just that, maybe he was angry that day, and Zhao Jia's family doesn't dare to be as casual as in the past. In front of Cao Hao, he kept his mouth shut and only complained a few words in front of Chu Yu.

Cao Hao is really a little tired, and he is looking forward to his parents coming to Beijing as soon as possible and handing over the power of this "parent" himself.

I am a cousin, and for a few younger brothers, although I am sincere, I say too much and say less, and there is a Zhaojia family on it. Cao Yin is an uncle, even if the Zhaojia clan is in front of him, he must also set rules and discipline his nephews, which is justified.

After entering the second gate, the peony courtyard was already in charge.

Cao Hao stood at the gate of the courtyard, hesitated, and still went in. Dongfu is said to be warm on the kang, and the sixth day of October is the zodiac auspicious, which is suitable for relocation, and Zhaojia's has already set the day to move.

It's not been a long time.

Even if her face is ugly, Cao Hao has nothing to worry about. In the final analysis, it's still a family, and it's not good to end up like this. Otherwise, when Cao Yin and Li entered Beijing, they would not feel good when they saw this situation here.

Walking to the porch, Cao Hao said, "Second aunt, my nephew is back!" ”

After a while, I heard footsteps, and it was Cao Song who picked up the curtain and came out and welcomed Cao Hao in.

Seeing Cao Song's wrapped left hand, Cao Hao couldn't help frowning a little. This severed finger is also considered a mutilated limb, and it is one of the evil appearances, can it be an errand in front of the emperor?

It seems that it is necessary to find someone to ask carefully what taboos have been committed. If it really didn't work, I had to ask someone to transfer him from the inner class to the outer class.

Although Cao Hao really loves this little brother because he grew up small, he is very disappointed in his heart after two and three times.

Ming Ming was a child, an innocent child; When I grew up, I didn't suffer anything, how did I become this wretched?

When encountering problems, I only know how to be reckless, but I don't know how to use my brain, which makes people hate and anger.

Today is the day of burning the kang, and the room is much warmer as usual.

Zhao Jiashi was wearing a half-new blue cardigan, with a bun, leaning on the pillow by the kang, and when he saw Cao Hao coming in, he nodded and said, "Brother Hao is back, come, make the edge of the kang." Can the Thirteenth Master's Mansion be lively? What about the Thirteen Fujin, have you been safe? ”

"It's lively, and the table is well prepared. I heard that Fujin is the two-month delivery period, so I didn't come out to see outsiders, and my nephew couldn't see it. Cao Hao bowed slightly, and sat sideways on the side of the kang.

In the past, I only felt that Zhaojia's mouth was broken and there were many things, which was a bit hypocritical, but through the changes in the past few days, Cao Hao's impression of him has also changed a little.

No matter how many small problems there are, she is a mother who knows how to protect her children, and this compassion should be respected.

Seeing that Zhao Jia's eye circles were a little sunken, after only a few years of effort, his sideburns turned a lot whiter, Cao Hao also felt guilty in his heart, and said with a little apology: "Second aunt, the nephew is also at fault about the second child, so you shouldn't help him hide it from the second aunt." ”

These words, in front of Cao Hao, Zhao Jia's family kept silent about this matter. Now seeing that he took the initiative to mention it, Zhao Jia's gaba gaba mouth, wanted to say something, but stopped, sighed heavily, and said: "He came out of my stomach, and he is a surname who cares about the world when he is young, who can he complain about?" After that, he will go out on an errand, and I will be like an old hen, spreading my wings, and I can't protect him. You hurt him when you were a child, and you will have to worry more about being a brother in the future. ”

Cao Song drooped his head, stood behind Cao Hao, and was very ashamed when he heard Zhao Jiashi say this, and his chin was pressed against the placket, not squeaking.

Cao Hao saw that Zhao Jia's family had reined in the edge of the past, adding a little bit of old age, and he didn't feel good in his heart, so he comforted: "After this experience, I think that Xiao Er can be sensible a lot, and he will be filial to his second aunt in the future." ”

Zhao Jiashi glanced up at Cao Song, shook his head, and said, "I don't expect him to be filial and promising, as long as he can be sensible and honest as soon as possible, I have nothing else to ask for." ”

While talking, Zilan sent Zhao Jia's medicine.

Cao Song stretched out his hand to take it, walked to the side of the kang, bent down, held his hands in front of Zhaojia's, and whispered: "Mother, the medicine is ready!" ”

Zhao Jiashi stared at Cao Song for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the severed finger of his left hand, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red again. She turned her head sideways, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then took the medicine bowl, brought it to her mouth, raised her head and drank ...... * In the Wutong Garden, Chu Yu sat on the side of the kang, slowly rocking the car, and hummed softly in her mouth:

Woo-yo, bab chirp, little Gege sleeps yo-yo.

Little Gege sleeps, covered with a quilt.

The dog doesn't bark, the wind doesn't blow, and the little Gege sleeps quietly...... When Tianhui fell asleep, Chu Yu closed his voice and motioned to send the two of them to the East House Warm Pavilion. She was herself, picked up the work in the needlework dustpan on the kang, sat under the lamp in front of the kang table, and started to do it.

Seeing this, Xiyun hurriedly stepped forward to pick out the lanterns, and said, "If you hurt your eyes at night, Ge Ge Ming'er will do it again." ”

In Chu Yu's hand is a tiger-headed small purse, embroidered with a flat needle, and the silk thread is mixed with silver thread, and most of it has been embroidered. This thing is hung on the body of a child to pretend to eat.

Chu Yu didn't put it down, then raised his hand, sipped the needle on his sideburns, and said, "I can't be empty during the day, so I just got a few stitches while my forehead hasn't come back." Although it was sent to Jiangning before, this time it felt different. ”

In the end, Chu Yu's expression became more and more gentle, touching the small spikes that had been tied under the purse, and there was a little more longing and joy in his eyes......
