Chapter 594: Showing goodwill (Part 1)

Although the Empress Dowager's imperial decree did not stipulate that Su Xin could not go home and had to stay in Cao's house, she did not dare to be self-disciplined here.

Su Xin did not remove the household registration from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a day, which means the identity of the palace maid, and everything he said and did was decent in the palace.

However, it is also difficult to bear the New Year when it comes to the scene, making the girl alone here.

Li discussed with Chu Yu and asked Su Xin to go home that morning and come back tonight.

Su Xin was in Cao's Mansion for six months, except in Li's house, and always stayed in his own nanny.

Chu Yu had watched coldly before, afraid that she would have other thoughts.

Seeing her like this, she felt relieved.

Su Xin has a quiet personality. Since she was the kindness of Li and Chu Yu, she also thanked her for her.

He picked two steady mothers and followed him, and a maid from Suxin's house accompanied him. With some gifts from him, Suxin went home.

When Cao Yong came out, he happened to see Su Xin getting on the carriage, but he was a little stunned.

The bidding for the Office of the Internal Affairs Office in February next year is hard to say whose rights and interests are actually damaged, but the Dong Shang family has suffered the most.

The parents of these two families are both slick old foxes. Every time they see Cao Yong, they are so intimate. They are as close as their children and nephews, but they are respectful when they get along.

Even though Cao Yong was a human being for two lifetimes, he felt a little confused and didn't know what these two people were thinking.

However, he did not think about being a "lonely minister".

He still knows the principle of a hero and three gangs.

If he really needs to use his own strength, he will not be able to move the entire internal affairs system.

Know it with emotion and lure it with profit.

What Cao Yong could do was nothing more than having the identity of each other's life-long interactions and was also somewhat close to the Dong Shang family.

Cao Yong also intentionally or unintentionally revealed a few useful words for merchants who had relatives in the two families.

Afterwards, the two old foxes had even more smiles.

When we socialize, we seem to be much closer to Cao Yin than before.

Cao Yin knew it well, so he was naturally happy to be this bond and become his son's help.

In this way, Su Xin's identity becomes more and more embarrassing.

Neither you can truly obey your superiors’ orders and be a servant; nor can you seriously consider yourself as your adopted daughter, so you can only waste your time without getting up or down.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu talked about this matter privately, and were quite worried.

If the palace forgets Su Xin, she will stay in the Cao family until she is old?

But there was no constitution, so it was not easy to go to the imperial court for her, otherwise she would seem ungrateful.

Cao Yong sighed and watched Xiaoman bring people to the car with wine.

When I saw two jars of "Ten Li Xiang" in it, it was made by Mr. Zhuang himself in his early years, but Cao Yong's heart was as if he was stalked and his eyes were already crazy.

"It smells so good..." Xiaoman hugged the half-human-high wine jar and sniffed hard.

Wei Hei and Zheng Hu were beside him, looking at Cao Yong's strangeness, and following his gaze, he looked at "Shilixiang".

This ten-liquid incense is the wine recipe Mr. Zhuang bought in his early years.

Use a large jar of Huadiao wine, and put 50 kilograms of dry dried whites in it, then put 3 kilograms of longan, Buddha's hand, papaya, old grass, mung beans, and five kilograms of rock sugar to soak wine, and seal the mud paint to store it in the warehouse.

In the past few years in Beijing, Mr. Zhuang has to make a plan every year.

Judging from the seals on these two jars of wine, this was made in the fiftieth year of Kangxi and had been stored for five years.

Wei Hei frowned slightly, walked forward, took the jar of wine in Xiaoman's arms, put it on the ground again, and whispered: "Why do you think of getting these two jars?"

Xiaoman was a little surprised and muttered, "Didn't the gift from the Thirteenth Master's Mansion have this every year?"

As he said that, he also remembered the difference this year was different from previous years, and shut up and looked at Cao Yong carefully.

Cao Yong approached and touched the jar of wine, but his face was filled with sorrow and joy.

Even though Mr. Zhuang had passed away for a month, Cao Yong still had an illusion, as if he had not left.

"Huh!" Cao Yong sighed long, waved his hand to Xiaoman, and said, "Send this back to the wine cellar, and bring the champagne that Wei Xin sent a few days ago..." Speaking of this, thinking that the Thirteenth Prince now has his own foreign goods shop, and there is no shortage of champagne and wine, he paused and said, "Change the dried peach wine sent from Xiaotangshan for two jars."

Xiaoman left with a response, Cao Yong rubbed the wine jar, and the seal on it was written by Mr. Zhuang himself.

"Move this down and keep it." Cao Yong said to Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu and a few people sent the two jars of wine back to the wine cellar.

Wei Hei looked at Cao Yong's face, a little worried, and took a step forward and said, "Young Master, I have been running for a few days and got up to enter the palace before dawn. I am also exhausted. The Thirteenth Master is not an outsider, why don't you take a bus to go there?"

Cao Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Although Thirteenth Master doesn't know how to pick things up, I can't be proud of it. Otherwise, I don't know when it will be a great sin. It's close to you, and it's not too far away, so I can't go anywhere. Brother Wei got up early, and he saw that the New Year is coming again, so don't let his sister-in-law arrange New Year's goods alone."

Wei Hei smiled heartily and said, "What's the New Year or not? It's just a meal. But if you feel it's boring during the New Year, you'll come to Lao Hei for a drink, so let's chat."

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

While talking, Zheng Hu and Xiaoman had already returned and loaded the wine jar with the car.

Zhao Tong led the horse over, Cao Yong turned over and took the people to Jinyu Hutong.

People come and go on the street, most of whom are buying New Year’s goods. There are a lot of scattered red paper confetti on both sides of the road, which are the wreckage of firecrackers.

Many shops have red lanterns hanging.

Cao Yong rode on the horse, but he was thinking about the bidding war in February next year.

Although the trump card is in his hands and Kangxi is pulled as a shield, how many people can calm down in the profit?

But I didn't know how those people would do it. First, the businessman came to the door to explore Cao Yong's tone and the bottom line.

Then, it should be the powerful and powerful who handed over the notes?

Throughout history, this relationship has been a cliché and there are no new tricks.

Half an hour later, I arrived at Jinyu Hutong.

Before we arrived at the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, we saw a sedan chair stop at the door and someone was getting off the sedan chair.

Cao Yong's heart was filled with a screen, and he hurriedly urged the horse to step forward, turned over and dismount, and greeted him.

The person who got out of the sedan chair was the fourth prince wearing regular clothes.

He held a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads in his hand, looked at Cao Yong, glanced at the carriage behind him, and asked, "Why, I'll give it to you in the New Year?"

"Yes! I thought about coming over to pay my respects to the Thirteenth Master, so I didn't ask anyone to send it first." Cao Yong responded, thinking that he gave the New Year gift to the Fourth Prince on the day of the New Year, and he also gave it himself.

This master probably can't tell me any rudeness, right?

The fourth prince nodded and said with a stern face: "Get in. You passed by the palace a few days ago, but I am not here. I have a few words to ask you."

Cao Yong responded and walked into the gate of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion with the Fourth Prince.

However, Cao Yong was a little afraid to look at the Fourth Prince's face. He was not afraid of his cold face, and he didn't want him to be on guard.

On the day of the New Year gift, Cao Yong asked someone to stare at Prince Yong's mansion and knew that the Fourth Prince was going out, so he brought people there.

As a result, he only said a few words at the gate of the palace, and Cao Yong handed over the gift list and returned.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to hug the fourth prince’s thick legs, but that Cao Yong’s current identity is more sensitive than before.

Kangxi's suspicion was even more powerful than in the past, and Cao Yong was unwilling to bear any suspicion. Otherwise, Kangxi would not be able to spare him without waiting for Yongzheng to come to power.

The Fourth Prince is not a fool, and he understands this in his heart.

I knew that Cao Yong was a sensible person and had a proper attitude.

But seeing Cao Yong enter and exit the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion without avoiding suspicion, the Fourth Prince still felt a little savory.

Speaking of which, for Cao Yong, he was like the Thirteenth Prince, who had life-saving grace.

However, because of his high title, Cao Yong was respectful, but he always kept his distance; the Thirteenth Prince had much closer contact.

Even though he knew that Cao Yong's actions were right, the Fourth Prince was still a little angry.

The Thirteenth Prince came out and saw the two of them walking together. He smiled and said, "It's better to come here than to come here. The weather is sunny today, and it's a good day for drinking. The Fourth Brother and Cao Yong have to use the food before going back."

The fourth prince's expression had soothed. He looked at the Thirteenth prince carefully and said, "How is your health recently? Is your legs still hurt? Otherwise, I will find an imperial physician and prescribe two more prescriptions for you."

When the Thirteenth Prince heard the word "prescription", he couldn't help but tremble and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, my brother will do it all. The medicine soup I used to drink three times this day will be vomited. Fourth Brother, don't mention the prescription again, otherwise my brother's stomach will start to feel sour water."

The Fourth Prince's face was unconcealed.

Cao Yong stood aside, looking at the fourth prince's doting expression, he was really uncomfortable.

But I also envied the Thirteenth Prince. This brother did not do anything in vain. When Yongzheng came to power, the Thirteenth Prince, in addition to an iron-hat prince, also pointed to a prince among his sons.

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Thirteenth Prince was the first prince to have no military achievements and be given an iron hat.

This place has an iron hat, plus the one from the Sixteenth Prince, Cao Yong glanced at the back of the Fourth Prince. He had to find a way to show kindness to him later.

Finally, I could see it here, even if it was passed to the imperial court, Cao Yong was very open and nervous.

Even if I don’t expect to be an iron hat, I will find an opportunity to be named Duke and marquis and bless the family’s health, it is still a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong couldn't help but wake up.

My utilitarianism seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

Even if I am respectful to the Thirteenth Prince, it is mostly because he is the fourth prince’s best friend.

Who is smarter than me if I put my heart in mind?

If there is no true love, the other party will not be a fool. How can he not feel it?

Qianqing Palace, Donghunting Pavilion.

Kangxi sat on the kang, touched his right hand with his left hand, and said to Cao Yin, who was sitting on the stool opposite, and said, "I used a lot of medicine, but it didn't get better. The bracelet you sent was somewhat effective, unlike the numbness in the morning. If you have trouble, how should I reward you?"

When Cao Yin heard this, he became busy and bowed his body and said, "When the emperor said, I dare not take credit. This is a folk prescription that the dog son received after he learned that the Holy Body was unhealthy."
