Chapter 1195: Happy Side (1)

When Cao Yong and his wife arrived in Beijing, it was the day when September 11th, the Gui List was released.

Although the current family of the Cao family does not need to add icing on the cake, Chu Yu felt sorry for his son and was worried about Zuo Cheng's two adopted sons.

Although the Zhu family is now in love with the Marquis of Marquis, Zhu Zhilian, like Ma Jun, is both a Jinshi. He wants to be the son-in-law of the two families, even if he cannot pass the Jinshi, he must pass the Juren and be beautiful in appearance.

Therefore, after entering the city, Chu Yu felt a little anxious when returning home.

Cao Yong followed the convention and first went to the Old Summer Palace to hand over the sign.

After waiting for a while, Yongzheng did not summon him, but only ordered the Thirteenth Prince to meet him.

When Cao Yong heard the eunuch summoned him, he was secretly surprised.

Since Yongzheng ascended the throne, he had to do everything himself. Not to mention second-rank officials like Cao Yong, even the seventh-rank official seal sect must be sent to the imperial court and only after he has been given a command to use it with peace of mind.

Although Cao Yong was "dismissed from office", he was still entitled to the title of Shangshu. Yongzheng also knew in his heart that such suppression was just because Cao Yong was young and could not be rewarded again.

Cao Yong had been in Zhili for two years, and there seemed to be no drastic reforms on the surface. In fact, the spring breeze and rain have a profound impact on Zhili.

It is only said that last year and this year, although there were prefectures and counties in Zhili who suffered natural disasters, they did not ask the court for a penny of silver. This item alone saved the court hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Cao Yong had already scored his governor in his heart. Even if he could not score a full mark, he could be considered a top-notch. After all, there is a cycle of progress in agricultural water conservancy, and it will not be achieved every day.

If this is the case, the emperor would be picky and dissatisfied, then Cao Yong could only be speechless.

According to what he thought, since the emperor was transferring him from Zhili in the form of "dismissal of official positions", he would definitely have some comfort after arriving in the capital.

What's going on now?

The moment he met the Thirteenth Prince, Cao Yong knew the reason.

"The emperor is in peace. He has been in bed and resting for the past two days and has not summoned his ministers. I heard that you are back and I am thinking about it in my heart, so I told the thirteenth prince to come and see you." The thirteenth prince said with a haggard face and forced himself to speak.

It is related to the dragon body, not something that the minister can ask about, otherwise it would be a sin to the Jing. Cao Yong could only say: "Looking at the prince's expression, he is also very tired, and the prince needs to take care of himself."

The Thirteenth Prince rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I have been in the garden these two days and I am a little tired. With the queen guarding him, I can rest for a few days. I guess it will take less than two days to return to normal. I just hope that the emperor will have a good sleep these few days. In the past few years, he has been resting for less than two hours a day, and even his body is so hard that he can't stand it."

These words seemed to be complaining casually, but they were also telling Cao Yong.

The emperor’s dragon body is not safe, but it is not a big deal. You can submit the sign in two days and see you.

Cao Yong knew it in his mind and mentioned a few words about Zhili. The Thirteenth Prince was busy with work and praised him a few words, so he asked Cao Yong to leave the garden.

During this delay in the garden, when Cao Yong returned to Cao's mansion, it was already Shenchu ​​(3:00 pm).

Before we reached the door, we saw red firecrackers in front of the Cao Mansion.

Seeing this, Cao Yong was both happy and worried.

Before Tianyou and Zuozhu's brothers went to Beijing, Cao Yong had a consultation with Mr. Feng about his third elementary school.

According to Mr. Feng, among the three, Tianyou has the best qualifications and the most down-to-earth study, followed by the left and the worst left.

This autumn examination, Tianyou, Zuo Cheng has no big problem, and Zuo Guan is between the two.

"The master is back..." The servant at the door saw Cao Yong and his party, cheering loudly and greeted him.

Immediately, Cao Yuan, Wu Mao, Wu Sheng and others also came out of the gate and welcomed Cao Yong back to his house with joy.

Cao Yong turned over and dismounted and asked Cao Yuan: "How are the three young masters doing in the exam?"

Cao Yuan bowed and said, "The master was very happy. All three young masters were won. The uncle won the ninth place, the second master Bai won the forty-two, and the uncle Song won the one hundred and thirty-seven."

When Cao Yong heard this, his face couldn't help but show joy.

There are fixed quotas for the admission of juren in the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination. In the early years of Shunzhi, there were 168 people in each subject, and in the 35th year of Kangxi, it was changed to 141 people.

The one hundred and thirty-seventh person on the left is the fourth last, and he is very lucky.

"Send someone to the Ma family, has the Zhu family reported the good news?" Cao Yong asked with a smile.

"I gave my wife an order before, and I have already sent someone to go." Cao Yuan replied.

Cao Yong nodded, asked about housework for a few more questions, and then returned to the inner courtyard.

The room in the orchid courtyard was full of joy.

Chu Yu and Tian were both here. Li looked at Tianyou and Zuozhu brothers with a smile, and was very happy.

If three children end up at the same time, they are most afraid of having both superiors and inferiors. In that case, even if there are superiors, it will not be too lively.

Now, there are no regrets.

Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng brothers "double happiness comes", and Tianyou's success also "adds icing on the cake" to the Cao family.

Tian's eyes were wet, with tears in his smile, and kept wiping the corners of his eyes with a veil.

Seeing Cao Yong come in, everyone except Li stood up.

Cao Yong asked Li for peace. He met Tian and praised the children a few more words, and then returned to Wutong Garden first.

After Cao Yong finished washing up, he changed into homely clothes. Chu Yu took Tianyou and the others to Wutongyuan.

"The children want to go to Liulichang to prepare for tomorrow's thank-you gift. I think it's a big deal to thank the teacher. It's hard to tell the difference between things outside, so it's better to prepare from the mansion." Chu Yu said with a smile.

"That's right." Cao Yong nodded.

Seeing that Tianyou wanted to speak but stopped, Cao Yong said, "I will be busy from tomorrow. If you want to leave the palace today, you can leave the palace, but remember not to come back too late."

Tianyou hurriedly replied: "As long as my father's instructions, my sons went out, not wandering around, but agreed to a few classmates in the academy to buy a gift from the teacher. Even if they were preparing for their own home, they would have to leave. After those classmates arrived in Beijing, they studied hard in the guild hall, and were very unfamiliar with the city. The sons always had to do their best to be the landlord."

As the children grow older, they will manage their connections in their official careers.

As long as he is not a friend who eats, drinks, whores and gambling, Cao Yong certainly did not stop him and said, "It is not cheap to come and go to the guild hall. Whether it is not easy to be aware of the people coming or not. If you have a good relationship with your brothers and want to stay in the capital, you can ask for a place in the mansion." At this point, he paused and said, "Before leaving the mansion, go to the accounting office to pay a hundred taels of silver. If there are poor scholars who don't want to come here to live, you can help you."

The three little guys responded in unison and retreated happily.

The couple understands their minds.

When the children went out, Chu Yu smiled and said, "This time, the master doesn't have to worry anymore. He can happily stay for Zuo, and Zuo Cheng and two prepare for marriage."

Cao Yong said: "Ma Jun is already a fourth-rank official. Xiangjun's maternal ancestor released Anhui governor last year. If Zuozhu was a scholar, Ma Jun would not say anything. The relatives there must be a bit picky."

Chu Yu said: "Yes, people in the world have a pair of wealthy eyes. Instead of marrying as a scholar, it is better to donate a family background."

The couple was talking, and a maid replied: "Master, Madam, the fourth master of the East Mansion is here, waiting in the living room of the front yard."

After hearing this, Cao Yong looked up at the clock. It was just Shen Zheng (4:00 pm), and it was not yet time to fall into the yamen.

He was puzzled in his heart, and when he went to the front yard, he saw Cao Xiang wearing official uniforms and sitting and having tea.

Seeing Cao Yong come in, he stood up and said, "Brother."

Cao Yong nodded and returned the gift, and the two of them sat down separately.

Cao Xiang looked at him carefully, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard that my elder brother was back to Beijing, but my younger brother could not get caught in the fall of the yamen. I came back one step ahead of time. My elder brother looked fine."

When Cao Yong heard that he was relieved, he felt very comfortable and said, "I have been away for two years and I can be considered free and easy. In the past two years, Hang Seng and the fourth brother in the mansion have taken care of him. Thank you for your hard work."

Cao Xiang waved his hand and said, "My nephew is sensible, the butler is capable, but I really don't do anything with my brother." He said, "I haven't congratulated you yet. There are three more juren in the Cao family today. I, as an uncle, feel glorious. This time I have to do it well, and the mansion is also lively."

Cao Yong was not clear about his official position this time, and those who were well-informed knew that he would use it to return to Beijing. Some of them had red eyes, and they also said that the Cao family was a declining person. As an old minister of the late emperor, the Cao family would be cleansed.

Cao Xiang was depressed, afraid that too many gossip would spread, which would cause worries from the elders. He thought that he would invite a guest to a long time after taking the lead in the election, and broke the rumor.

Although Cao Yong doesn't like to show off, he doesn't object to this proposal.

He did not think of refuting the rumors or something, but wanted to let several children appear in front of relatives and friends.

Although I was familiar with relatives and friends before, I also knew that in addition to my biological son and adopted son, Cao Yong also had two adopted sons. However, because Zuo Cheng lived there, Zuo Cheng was young at that time and rarely appeared in front of others.

Now that the day of staying at the left is settled, the Tian family and his son are about to move out of Cao's mansion, letting their brothers appear in front of relatives and friends. In the future, they can take care of Cao Yong.

After saying this, he talked about the matter of going to be a teacher in the house tomorrow. Fortunately, Master Fang was a colleague of Cao Xiang Hanlin Academy; but the master was Zhang Tingyu, a Grand Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Although Cao Yong was not only the governor of Zhili and governor of Zhili, he also had the title of Minister of War.

In addition, when he is in Beijing, 80% of his life will be in the Ministry of Revenue and Zhang Tingyu is his colleagues. It is not advisable to take Tianyou and others out to thank the teacher.

Cao Xiang volunteered and said, "Brother, I will take my nephews to thank the teacher tomorrow?"

Cao Yong said: "Just want to bother my fourth brother, so please."

Cao Xiang smiled and said, "It is a very decent thing for the family to make a fortune, and it is something that cannot be obtained."

Seeing that Cao Yong had a disgusted face, Cao Xiang did not sit for a long time, and after discussing the matter, he left...

Zhang Jia’s house, go to the room.

Mrs. Ning sat on the kang with a look of surprise on her face and said, "You read that right, are you both of them?"

A fifty-year-old manager stood on the ground and bowed and replied, "I looked at it three times. Master Yuansong is one hundred and thirty-seven juren, and Master Yuanbai is forty-two juren."
