Chapter 459: Complaints (Part 1)

The Holy Lord returned to Changchun Garden on September 28th. Wang Jing and Tang Zhiyu returned to Beijing. After not seeing each other for several months, they could not even greet each other.

Wang Jingzeng was fine, but he was just a gentleman's friend. Tang Zhiyu and Cao Yong had to be closer. I still remember that when he was in Rehe, Cao Yong knew the joy of having a daughter. Therefore, before he met, he was worried that he was upset about his daughter's illness and thought about how to comfort him.

Now, seeing that Cao Yong was not different in his words, and Cao Yin went to Beijing, it seemed like the joy of father and son's reunion, Tang Zhiyu felt much more at ease.

The two of them first arrived in Beijing and had not yet returned home. Cao Yong waited for the two to explain their errands and asked them to go back first.

After the two left, Yidu came over and said with some hesitation, "In two days, the thirteenth prince's birthday, can Fu be over and the mansion eats wine?"

Since he went to Cao's mansion that day, Yiduli has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days. Cao Yong only did things normally and did not show any dissatisfaction or strangeness.

Seeing Yiduli speaking on his own initiative, Cao Yong nodded and said, "I'm going to go, but the grand ceremony that day is about to come."

Yiduli smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's go there together that day."

Cao Yong responded, and Yiduli said again: "Furuo, I didn't expect that the snack shop below your house is now very popular. Even my mother ate the Chongyang cake from Daoxiangcun at the beginning of the month and praised it. At first, the old man thought the gifts from your house were sweet and distributed to the children. Later, he even talked to me, saying that there are a few tricks that are not seen in the shop now, and I don't know what the taste is. By the way, what's the reason?" After asking, he himself became a little curious.

Cao Yong knew that the materials for several snacks were scarce, but they were exchanged from Guangzhou. Therefore, except for the few snacks made before opening, the remaining materials were left useless, and they were ready to add color to the reserved mats and were not bought and sold in the store.

Yiduli's mother is not only the daughter of Soetu, but also a talented female poet.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Confucian ethics vigorously promoted Confucian ethics. After a year of chastity archways given by the court, there were at least all sides.

"A woman without talent is virtue", which is recognized by the world.

Despite this, it is not uncommon for women to form associations and do business in the powerful and wealthy classes in the capital or Jiangnan.

In the early years, the Jizhu Club that the sisters of the Cao family participated in was also considered a small club. It was just because the girls who attended the meeting were young, mostly social interactions, and occasionally gained something in poetry. It was also because it was a work in the boudoir and rarely spread it to the outside.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong couldn't help but look at Yiduli. His father was a Grand Secretary and his mother was a talented woman. He should be inherited in some ways, but it was not obvious.

Yi Duli was stunned by the sight. He looked down at him, and there was nothing unusual, and said, "What are you looking at?"

Cao Yong smiled and said, "I'm looking at whether the adults have Nalan's wind, but I didn't see it."

Yiduli smiled and said, "I heard this when I heard this. Until my son has had a son in recent years, I have fewer talents. What's the point of talking about it? I was forced to study by Ama since I was a child. Although I was holding a book in front of Master and Ama, I was just pretending and couldn't look at a word."

"By the way, these snacks are not easy to change, so they are not made in the shop. It just so happened that the Thirteenth Prince was on his birthday and planned to make some. Since the grandmother asked, he could just make one dish on one table." Cao Yong thought about what Yiduli had asked just now and replied.

When Yiduli heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "This is the best. I have to be filial to my mother." Speaking of this, he smiled a little strangely and lowered his voice, "Because my mother loves to eat these, I have been to Daoxiang Village several times recently. Why do you hear people say that he is a female shopkeeper?"

"An old friend of Jiangning!" Cao Yong didn't want to say much, so he answered, and then said in a different way: "In the middle of the month, the yamen will be sent out to the door. Lord Wang and Lord Tang have just returned from Rehe, and then they will have to go to one of the two of us."

When Yiduli heard this, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I will volunteer this time. Furuo is going to be busy with the marriage of his brothers and wait for the order to enter the capital. It's really not as comfortable as me."

"Since that's the case, I really have to thank you sir!" Cao Yongyuan was a little worried about his family. After hearing Yiduli's words, he was naturally happy.

Before the yamen was left here, the sixteenth prince came here.

It was because the guard department had a shortage. This time he went to Beijing, he came to Cao Yong to report the good news.

Cao Yong walked around for some time in July and August, but because there was no news, he no longer had hope and thought about looking at the Guardian Camp or the Pioneer Camp.

The sixth-rank blue-feathered guard is still an inner squad, but he is decent and light. In other words, the sixteenth prince's entourage has received the news early, otherwise, I wonder how many people would have snatched the heads and repaired it.

After telling Cao Yong the good news, the sixteenth prince reminded him again, saying: "This time, the adults in the guard office are also worried about this shortage, so I have to make it hard. You have prepared some gifts in the past few days and thanked them for their mansions. Fu Erdan and A Linga should be more generous."

Even if the Sixteenth Prince didn't say these words, Cao Yong knew it. Even if he joined Cao Song, these people would have to come first.

The one who thanked the Sixteenth Prince is the one who said it most. However, Cao Yong mentioned it once in the letter that it is really gratifying that Prince Sixteenth Prince was so concerned.

But because of their friendship, they talked too much, but instead saw it. Cao Yong smiled and thanked him and asked about his goodbye. The Sixteenth Prince briefly said about the past few months. His itinerary was almost the same every year, and there was nothing rare.

The sixteenth prince had already received the news. He knew that Cao Yin had made up for the Left Minister of Rites and was about to go to Beijing. He also looked happy and said, "My mother has been talking about it for several times. When my aunt arrived in Beijing, someone could talk to her in the future. Otherwise, every time she saw other relatives entering the palace, she would be very envious and think about her relatives here."

It was not cheap to speak in the yamen, so Cao Yong explained to Yidu a few words and followed the Sixteenth Prince out first.

The two rode horses and walked side by side. When the sixteenth prince heard that the marriage between Cao Song brothers had been arranged, he smiled and said to Cao Yong: "Fortunately, my uncle is going to Beijing, otherwise you, who are brothers, will make up for errands and marry a wife. Daozhen responds to the words "The elder brother is like a father". After all, it is trivial. If you are worried and troubled, you will easily complain. You are not a brother. You are just as soft-hearted as you. If you are someone else, you will have a disgust."

Speaking of this, thinking about the "friendship" between the prince and the prince, the sixteenth prince couldn't help but sigh. He glanced at Cao Yong, his face was a little complicated, and said, "Maybe good intentions are rewarded. You just want to take care of your brothers and don't want anything, which is worry-free. Unlike some people, they are tired of others and themselves, and this 'brother-society and affection' is also really tiring."

Seeing him feeling so emotional, Cao Yong said, "What do you want to do so much? Don't you want to be the free prince? You will get what you want in the future."

The sixteenth prince just thought Cao Yong was comforting himself and did not take it seriously. He waved his hand and said, "You are so easy to be a prince. I hope that when the emperor let us leave the palace, I will reward Amitabha Buddha more."

While talking and laughing, when the intersection, the sixteenth prince was still anxious to return to the palace first, so the two of them parted ways.

After Cao Song's job came, Cao Yong was also very happy and went back home directly, wanting to tell everyone the good news.

When he returned to the mansion, he entered the second gate. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Shaoyuan, Cao Yong heard Zhaojia's angry shout: "Isn't this a bad luck in marrying a family that was raided and exterminated? What's the good thing about his girl? Just live with her grandmother? Who doesn't know that the "mother of Gali, the ancestor of disaster" forced her children and grandchildren to die and exterminate her family. Isn't it a good person? No, I don't recognize this marriage, and I can't stand this joke."

Cao Yong heard it in the yard, stopped and frowned.

It seems that Zhao Jia's family was in the news and started to attack Cao Song, but they didn't know how Cao Song would answer.

There was a "thump" in the room, and then Cao Song said, "Mother, son... the son was not sincerely hiding it from his mother, but he really liked Jinghui. He also knew that the family was decent and did not dare to let the family be shamed. Although the Jinghui family was defeated, what's the matter for her to do as a little girl? Now, her aunt has taken her to the Fucha family to marry, and it is not related to the Dong E family. Mother, this marriage was asked by her son, and I hope that the mother can feel sorry for her son and make her son happy." As she said that, it was a "bang bang" sound.

"I'm just going to do it!" Zhao Jia's voice trembled and cursed, "You unfilial son, because you are the eldest son, you have tried your best to find a decent family for you. For you, I even pushed the marriage of your uncle's family to the third brother, but I found such an eldest daughter-in-law. Do you make me unable to raise my head for the rest of my life..." At this point, there were a series of curses, and even Cao Yong was scolded.

Cao Yong heard it was boring and came out of Shaoyuan, feeling a little depressed.

On Jinghui's side, he had already agreed with Fu Nai and the others. Although he did not change his surname, the Fucha family only acted as marrying a daughter, and then he also became Jinghui's mother's home in the future.

It is also the best of both worlds to give the orphan a support and to renew the in-laws between the Cao family and the Fucha family.

Although Zhao Jia's words are ugly, the parents in the world are all thinking about their children. Cao Yong knew this and would not care about it.

However, it was just in line with what the Sixteenth Prince said just now, "It's trivial, and it's easy to complain if you don't worry about it." So he felt a little boring.

In Wutong Garden, newly prepared winter clothes were sent outside. Chu Yu and Amethyst were showing off their clothes to Hang Seng to see how long they were.

Seeing Cao Yong come back, both of them get up.

Seeing that the amethyst was in a good mood, Cao Yong said to the two: "While the sky is not cold now, you two will leave the mansion, and you can also go out to the temple to burn incense when you have nothing to do. Just treat it as a pastime. It will not be interesting to see the sky in the mansion."

Hang Seng just wore a deerskin hat and rushed to Cao Yong's feet, saying, "My father...new hat..."

Cao Yong bent down, held him in his arms, and asked, "Who made the new hat? Have Hang Seng thanked me?"

Hang Seng turned halfway, looked at Chu Yu, then looked at Amethyst and said, "It was made by my mother, and it was made by my aunt..." The remaining "Xie" was embarrassed to say, turned around and reached out to grab Cao Yong's court bead to play with it.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "It would be fine if it was in previous years. Now there is no room for free? If you want to clean up the master's yard, you have to build a backyard to protect the house from the back to avoid the need for the servants to live in. The yard in the East Mansion is almost done, and some large furniture will also be moved from here to there. There are many things to be busy inside and out. When the master's wife goes to Beijing, it will be a second and third brothers who will make a grand yard, and then they will prepare to marry. It would be good if you can relax until the end of the year!"

Zi Jing also said, "Uncle, don't worry about grandma and me. Even if you don't burn incense in the temple, you can still go out of the house every now and then by adding the ceremony of the two masters."

Seeing that the two were happy, Cao Yong was really unwilling to discourage their interest, so he said happily, saying, "The second brother has made up his errands, and the sixth-rank blue-feathered guard is also decent."

Chu Yu was very happy when he heard this and said, "Second Aunt has been talking nonsense these days, and it's a good idea."

Cao Yong smiled and looked at Hang Seng's hat and said, "This looks good. Did Tianyou prepare? My father and mother also prepare some good big wool materials. After the two elders enter Beijing, they can also prepare early to save time and timely preparations."

Chu Yu nodded and said, "We have already prepared everything, and the clothes and materials are all ready-made. The master and wife made four sets according to the size they left in Beijing last year, and the others are the materials. Tianyou's one inch more than Zuo Cheng and his brother, so they made a few sets first."
