Chapter 407 Please ask

Chapter 407 Please

Although Chu Yu felt uncomfortable, he invited two famous old doctors to take the pulse and said that it was OK.

The weather was getting hotter. Chu Yu was afraid of the heat and was unwilling to leave the house. Zhao Jia was also idle and stuffy. He asked about the Haidian Garden twice. Wu Sheng had already come back to report that the garden had been packed.

Wu Sheng once followed Cao Yong to Yizhou and worked as a steward in the mansion there. Now that he returned to the capital, there was an old steward in the Earl's Mansion, Cao Yong asked him to keep an eye on the project in the garden, which could be considered as an external steward.

Cao's garden is next to Haidian Town. Cao Yong went to see it again. It was already full of flowers and trees, and it was the time when green leaves and mountain flowers were brilliant.

But Chu Yu has been in his body for more than six months after all. Even if the road to Haidian is flat on the road outside the city, it is not as good as in the city. It is inconvenient to hire an imperial physician, so even if it is hot, Cao Yong dared not let him go to the garden.

Cao Yong asked Tian and Mr. Zhuang if they went to escape the summer heat. Because Chu Yu was inconvenient to go, only the second house of the Cao family went there, and they all said they could not get there first and then talk about it later.

On April 15th, just as Cao Yong was resting, he took Cao Song brothers to send Zhao Jia to the garden outside the city to escape the summer heat.

The garden is divided into three roads. Zhao Jia and her son and girl lived in several yards on the West Road.

Cao Yong was busy here for half a day. When his younger brother and sister were settled, he carefully advised Cao Song before returning to the city.

After entering the city, it was already dusk when Cao Yong returned to Cao's mansion.

As soon as Cao Yong arrived at the door, before he got off the horse, a concierge reported that there were two Hanlin Academy Shujis coming to ask for a visit and had been waiting in the side hall for a long time.

Shujishi Cao Yong of the Hanlin Academy turned over and got off the horse, remembering the few he met when he sent Cheng Mengxing last time. Although of course they were polite to each other and said they would visit each other in the future, it has been more than a month since then. Why did they remember it?

When Cao Yong entered the side hall, two people had already stood up from their seats. One of them knew him, a Shujishi, a Hanlin Academy named Wang Mengxu, who was the same year as Wang Mengxu. The other person was about the same age as Wang Mengxu. He looked at him and was probably the first time to meet him.

"Mengxu has met Lord Cao!" Wang Mengxu bowed and said. The other person also stood up.

Cao Yong smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't be polite. Because I went out of the city today, I didn't know that there were guests at home. I'm sorry for waiting for a long time!" As he said that, he called someone to send tea to the two of them again.

Wang Mengxu said with a little shame: "It's all Mengxu who is rude and has become an uninvited guest. Please don't blame me!"

Cao Yong invited the two of them to sit down. It seems that there are not many people who come to visit directly like this. However, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Since Cheng Mengxing is a good friend, it is not a vulgar person.

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, don't be polite..." Having said this, he looked at Wang Mengxu and his fellow came and said, "What is this gentleman?"

Wang Mengxu avoided not introducing the two of them yet, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Cao, this is a colleague of Mengxu, and a Jinshi of Guisi, Juan!" As he said that, he said to the man, "Brother Tairan, this is Master Cao, the Minister of Taipu Temple!"

Cao Yong and that person have met again, and everyone has divided the guests and hosts to sit down.

Seeing Wang Mengxu's desire to speak but stop, Cao Yong couldn't help but wonder, was he borrowing money? He came to someone he had only seen once, and it was unreasonable to borrow money.

After hesitating for a while, Wang Mengxu still bit the bullet and told the reason.

It turned out that it was really related to money, but he did not borrow money from Cao Yong, but came to ask for help.

It turned out that Wang Mengxu had a friend from his hometown who went to Beijing to run for office. He didn't find a good deal for the time being, so he collected a shop, opened a Nanpaper shop, and sold some books.

These days, the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen found the banned books and found that shop. It was Wang Mengxu's fellow villager who was careless and entrusted the shop to a clan member to take care of it, but in the yamen, he started to ban books and went to many erotic novels in the market.

When his tribe saw that he was in trouble, he was afraid of taking responsibility, so he took out the silver on the books and ran away. Without a shopkeeper, the yamen naturally wanted to find the owner and ask about the source of the banned book.

The boss of Piansheng never asked about business matters at all, so how could he know these?

The soap li in the yamen was so foolish. The more the boss gritted his teeth and ignored them, the more they felt that there were big fish behind him and became more concerned about it.

When Wang Mengxu received the letter, his friend had already asked someone to stay in Shuntian Mansion. Although his friend had the fame of the Superintendent, in the capital, the Superintendent was not even worth anything, and he had no weight.

When a few of their fellow villagers went to Shuntian Prefecture to inquire, they would have to be charged with privately selling banned books. If this crime was determined, not only would the fame be gone, but they would have to "make a hundred sticks and three years of vain."

Wang Mengxu and the others were slandering, but they spoke out and wanted to collect the fine of silver. The shop collected a total of 300 banned books, and the fine of 10 taels of silver for each volume was 3,000 taels.

Wang Mengxu and the others were just a few poor students who had just entered the Hanlin area. They all had hundreds of taels of silver, which was considered good. How could they get three thousand taels?

Wang Mengxu ran to the Xuzhou Guild Hall and found several fellow villagers. He heard that he was borrowing money, so he changed his face.

Wang Mengxu worked for two days and had no progress. He was so anxious that he was full of bubbles. It just so happened that Juan knew his fellow villager, had received favors from him, and was willing to do his best. However, he was short of money and powerless.

In the end, there was no way to go for money. Wang Mengxu remembered that the biggest official Cao Yong, he knew, came. Although he had only met once, he came with the intention of "a dead horse" as a living horse and was ruthless.

After hearing this, Cao Yong knew that he was selling banned books, so he couldn't have a good impression of Wang Mengxu's friend and was unwilling to get involved in this matter. Although it was not a big deal to give him a handwritten note and tell him to the Shuntian Prefecture Office, it was not a big deal, but there was a big favor. For the sake of a merchant selling banned books, Cao Yong was unwilling to owe this favor.

But once Wang Mengxu came to the door, it was hard to let him come in vain. Cao Yong thought about whether he would help him with some money.

Although the soap li in Shuntian Mansion offered 3,000 yuan, it was not dead. It was delayed until the end and saw that the card could not be found, so I gave it some money and put it on.

Seeing that Cao Yong had no intention of agreeing, Wang Mengxu sighed and couldn't help feeling disappointed. He thought to himself, it would be great if Cheng Mengxing was there. For the Cheng family, three thousand taels of silver were nothing. The people here couldn't ask for help. Should they really go to Cheng's house and go to Cheng Mengxing's niece to borrow money?

This is easy to say "yes" and difficult to say "no" when asked by others, especially for those who are not annoying to ask someone like Wang Mengxu.

Cao Yong hesitated for a moment and thought about what to say.

Wang Mengxu is nearly thirty years old, and he can see that Cao Yong is unwilling to meddle in other people's business. He smiled bitterly: "You don't have to make things difficult for you. Mengxu shouldn't have come today. It's also because Li Wei is unlucky, so he has been unpredictable all day long. Now he has ended up in prison. It's really a risky person. Please don't blame me!" As he said that, he was about to get up and say goodbye.

Li Wei, the person who was detained in Shuntian Prefecture for selling banned books in the shop, is his name Li Wei?

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, please walk slowly. How dare you ask if your friend is from the south?"

Wang Mengxu replied: "Li Wei is Mengxu's fellow villager and from Xuzhou."

Cao Yong calculated the time in his mind. Since he could be the governor of the Yongzheng Dynasty, he might have started to serve in the official position now, but he didn't know whether this Li Wei was the one who was the one Li Wei.

Did Li Wei, the leader of the three model governors who were praised by Emperor Yongzheng, even sued for selling banned books?

Perhaps it was a worship of the legendary figure. Cao Yong pondered for a moment and said to Wang Mengxu: "Brother Wang, don't worry, it's too late today. Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to go to the yamen to ask what the regulations are. If the national law is really violated, then there will be a yamen's judgment. If we can find a redemption, let's think of another way!"

Wang Mengxu was already desperate. Unexpectedly, Cao Yong agreed. He couldn't help but stand up and bowed: "Sir Gao Yi, Mengxu thanked Li Wei for his sake!"

Cao Yong stood up and reached out to help him, "Brother Wang, please don't be too polite. It's just a simple task. I hope I can help Brother Wang!"

Wang Mengxu thanked him again and again. Seeing that it was getting late and it was not good to delay any further, he said goodbye and left.

Cao Yong sent the two to the entrance of the hall, but he was a little confused, was he too snobbish?

Before, he thought of "it's not your business to stay high". He heard that Li Wei was detained, and perhaps the legendary governor of Liangjiang, who was later in life, responded happily again.

Thinking of this, he sighed, felt a little boring, and entered the second gate with regret. Now Zhao Jia took Cao Song and the others to the garden, and the mansion here is less than half of the population, and it feels a little deserted.

Because of Li Wei's incident, Cao Yong remembered the Fourth Prince again. Where is the dog? If it was fabricated by the novel Yanjia, then when did Li Wei "collude" with the Fourth Prince?

Since I drank with the Fourth Prince in the Thirteenth Prince's mansion last year, Cao Yong has had a lot more tail behind him. Perhaps in the eyes of the Third Prince, the Eighth Prince and others, he has been labeled as the Fourth Prince.

Cao Yong had no ghost in his heart and had Mr. Zhuang beside him, so he didn't have to worry about being misunderstood by Kangxi, so he let others think about it.

I guess I was staring around and didn't look at it, and those people were also tired of it. The tail behind Cao Yong was gone.

Yes, let’s talk about these six ministries and nine ministers. Anyone who is like him will go home after falling into the yamen. Life at two points and one line should be more regular and more regular.

Before he arrived at Wutongyuan, Cao Yong saw someone standing at the door of the yard.

Because the night was getting darker, it was a bit unreal. It was not until closer that Cao Yong saw that it was the little girl Wuen.

Seeing Cao Yong, Wu En hurriedly leaned over and said, "Uncle..."

Wuen was only ten years old when he was brought back from the grassland by Cao Yong. He was already fifteen this year, and he looked like a big girl. Because she was a Mongolian, she was taller and looked stronger than the rest of the mansion.

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Why are you here? Is your sister Amethyst sent you over and talk back?"

Wuen has been with Amethyst for the past few years since she came to Cao's mansion. Because she was young, Cao Yong had already told her not to send her errands. Last year, after Hang Seng entered the mansion, Wuen came to Wutongyuan because the Mongolian breasts he followed did not speak Chinese.

A few days ago, Hang Seng moved to Kwai Inn, and Uen followed him again.

After hearing Cao Yong's question, Wu En did not respond immediately. Tears had already come out and he choked and said, "Uncle, Sister Amethyst is sick..."

Cao Yong was frightened and frowned, "What? Are you sick? Then why are you here? Did the imperial doctor hire him?"

Wu En wiped his tears and said, "I want to go back and forth grandma. Sister Zijing doesn't allow it. I just say it's okay. Just sleep and don't let my grandma disturb you. But I went to see it just now. Sister Zijing was burning, and it didn't look good! I want to report my grandma, but I am afraid that my grandma will be anxious and feel uncomfortable."

Cao Yong was anxious and said to Wuen: "You go to the front yard to find the butler, just say what I said, and send a car to invite the imperial physician to come here immediately!" After that, he turned around and quickly walked towards the Kuiyuan.

Amethyst lived in the Kuiyuan room. When Cao Yong passed by, the room was already filled with lights, and there was only a little girl next to her, Liu Ye guarding her.

Amethyst was lying on the kang, her eyes closed, and her face was red. Willow leaves were sitting by the kang, wiping the sweat on Amethyst.

Hearing footsteps, Liu Ye thought it was Wu'en and said with a little angrily: "Where did you go crazy? You don't pick on it!"

Seeing that no one was talking back, Liu Ye turned around and found out that it was his master Cao Yong. He quickly stood up and said with a little horror: "Master, I... I... I..."

In a hurry, she was also speechless.

Cao Yong took two steps quickly, walked to the edge of the kang, reached out to try Amethyst's forehead, which was hot.

Hearing the sound of talking, Amethyst opened her eyes in a daze, muttering: "I'm fine... don't go to Wutongyuan..."

After seeing clearly it was Cao Yong, a smile appeared on Zijing's face and said, "It's the uncle who is here..."

Seeing her like this, Cao Yong said with a little anger on his face, "I'm so sick, why don't I let anyone talk?"

Mei Jing struggled to get up, her body was so soft that she could get up again?
