Chapter 749: Begging (Part 1)
Chapter 749: Asking for (Part 1)
Jinghui is an orphan, but she is following her grandmother and witnessing her uncle's family being destroyed by her family.
After the Lord, the emperor was trusted and the most powerful governor in the world. When Kali was in power, how prominent was the Governor's Office? Even if the governor went out, even if the prefect met, he would have to smile.
Those wives and grandmothers of the Taoist throne arrived at the Governor's Office and were as cursed as if they were. When the Gali incident broke out, everything became a crime in the end.
The Cao family is not that far, but one sells cigarettes and the other rents more. All of them are the root cause of trouble. How can Jinghui not be alarmed?
Li and Cao Song had already explained to her the meaning of the family, that is, they should be able to take on the family. They should be filial and respectful to their mother-in-law, and serve them in a manner that is delicious and drinkable. However, the power of the housework must be received and Zhaojia can no longer be allowed to be freely allowed.
This is not a matter of one person. It is a matter of responsibility for the reputation of the Cao family and the future of the Cao Song brothers.
But she has always been kind-hearted. Among the housekeeper and daughter-in-law, she is the old man Zhao Jia used to. For a moment, few people really admire her.
Jinghui was not in a hurry, but just slowly approached the account book. In half a day, she picked out several wrong accounts and removed several responsibilities of the manager's wife.
The evidence is conclusive, and there is no way to argue.
Even if two old men wanted to go to the garden to plead with Zhao Jia, they would have no face to speak out as "deceptive" and "greedy for the master".
I don’t know if it was this thunderous method that made the inner house feel a lot of pressure. The old women who were a bit decent in front of their wives became much more honest.
In addition to Cao Song's previous handling of Xiong Ren and Bai Er, everyone knew that the person in charge of the inner house had changed to the second grandmother who was looking at the kindness in front of him.
Su Xin was ordered to assist her sister-in-law’s housekeeper, but she refused to say more.
Although Jinghui and her are the eldest sister-in-law of the second wife and the youngest daughter-in-law of the second wife, Su Xin is actually half a year longer than Jinghui. In addition, Su Xin develops a steady personality in the palace, so she looks bigger than Jinghui.
Because of this, Jinghui did not present her sister-in-law's name in front of her, and she was willing to discuss it with her when encountering problems. However, she adhered to her duties as a young daughter-in-law and did not like to talk too much.
Until Jinghui was silently venting these people, she said something to her mouth and she finally swallowed it back into her stomach.
Since I knew that these people were not clean, why didn’t they reveal it earlier? Even if my mother-in-law was in the mansion, she had always refused to suffer losses and was unwilling to be fooled by her servants.
Jinghui seemed to see what Su Xin was thinking and looked up and said, "It's true that they are servants. There are parents and relatives behind them. They can create momentum even if they have affair before and their relatives come in, it's not the same?"
After mentioning this sentence, Su Xin was already confident. She picked up the blue and white tea bowl in front of her, lowered her head and took a sip.
After all, it was because my mother-in-law was in charge of the family, and her ears were soft and she was willing to listen to flattery. So what she used and believed was the slaves in the house.
Speaking of this, she remembered something, that was the girl Hongmei, beside her mother-in-law. Among the few mothers who were dismissed from the job this time, Hongmei’s mother was.
Hongmei relies on being the big girl beside her wife, but Su usually has eyes on her forehead and is also staring at Jinghui and Suxin and talking.
The two girls before the wife, Zi Lan, arrived in the second master's room, and Lu Ju was the aunt in front of the fourth master. Now, Hongmei, every time she went to Su Xin to pass the message, she would pick up Yao Yao Rao Rao.
Born in the door of a mansion, I have been in the palace for more than ten years. What has Su Xin not seen before?
Thinking of this, she put down the tea bowl and looked at the ivy crawling on the veranda outside. This is life. She usually watches being acted on, but she can't say that she will become a person in the play at any time.
It’s just that this scene of wives and concubines fighting for the competition, even if they don’t act, they will be exhausted.
In this regard, she can believe in herself. She will not do worse than Jinghui, the "second wife-in-law", and she will definitely be "virtuous and kind"...
On this day, there were many chores in the yamen, and it was getting late, so Cao Yong came out of the Ministry of Revenue.
Before he arrived at the Xidan Archway, Cao Yong saw the fourteenth prince and the sixteenth prince wearing regular clothes, riding a horse with a smile, and following the guards.
He was wondering why these two princes got together, but they didn't show their faces. They tied the reins and wanted to dismount and meet.
The sixteenth prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "Save it quickly. I have been waiting for a while. Wudiao Temple has rebelled with my uncle."
Even though he said this, Cao Yong had dismounted and seen this in front of everyone.
Seeing these two people seemingly waiting for him, but they don’t know what the purpose is? Cao Yong glanced at the Sixteenth Prince, and the Sixteenth Prince gave him a helpless look with the Fourteenth Prince on his back.
Cao Yong had already figured out in his mind. It seemed that the 14th Prince remembered what came out again.
Just as he was thinking about how to find a wish to refuse, the 14th Prince was already smiling and said, "Your Mah is hungry too. Cao Yong is so generous that he and Xiao Shiliu are waiting for you. Get on the horse, the Wu family has already set up a table." After saying that, without waiting for Cao Yong's order, he pointed to Zheng Hu behind Cao Yong and said, "Your master is going back to the western suburbs every day, right? Go back and say to your master, the wife said, "Your Mah and the 16th Master will leave Cao Yong for wine and will not leave the city today."
Zheng Hu looked at Cao Yong and was still hesitating.
The 14th Prince had already left his face and glared at Zheng Hu and said, "What? The servant of the Cao family cannot be instructed?"
Cao Yong was upset and could only bear it before others. He turned around and explained a few words to Zheng Hu, sending him out of the city.
The 14th Prince turned anger into joy, laughed at Cao Yong twice, and said, "What are you going to be too late? Do you really have the will to see if you and your 16th Master starve to death?"
The Sixteenth Prince was beside the Fourteenth Prince, looked at Zheng Hu's back in the distance, and frowned slightly.
At this point, Cao Yong had to bite the bullet and follow him to "go to the banquet".
Wu is the outer house of the 14th Prince and lives on the beach of Shicha. Cao Yong had been there before, and the 14th Prince talked to him about his grand ambitions and wanted to join him. It was only last time that Cao Yong used the excuse of "the father's order cannot be violated."
The sixteenth prince came over the first time. Seeing the early summer scenery by the sea, and the tall Chinese beauty in front of him, he couldn't help but take a look at her.
When the 14th Prince saw her coming out, his expression was already a little gentle. He pointed to the 16th Prince and said, "This is my sixteenth brother." At this point, he pointed at Cao Yong and said, "This is Lord Cao Yong, you have seen it last time."
Wu was not upset, and said with a little gentleness, "I have met Master Sixteen and Master Cao."
Cao Yong knew that she was the foreign favorite of the 14th Prince, so he avoided her sideways and did not receive all her tribute, and replied: "Cao has seen everyone Wu."
This look looks like a good family, with a honey-colored jacket, a stone-green skirt, a faint pink face, and a head with only two white jade hairpins.
In the process of doing things, he was not willing to be petty, but he was so vague that he was full of dust. It was different from the madams and sisters he had seen before. In addition, Cao Yong next to him used the "respectful title". The Sixteenth Prince didn't know how to return the gift, so he looked at the Fourteenth Prince with some questions.
The fourteenth prince patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Sixteenth brother, this is your little sister-in-law."
When Wu heard this, his cheeks were flushed and he looked at the fourteenth prince coquettishly.
The Sixteenth Prince was also tactful and bowed and said, "It turns out that it is the little sister-in-law. Xiao Sixteen has greeted her sister-in-law." As he said that, he stretched out his hand with a smile.
Wu did not dare to accept the courtesy, so he quickly leaned over and returned the courtesy. Seeing the Sixteenth Prince like this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
With a "bang", the fourteenth prince knocked down the sixteenth prince's hand and cursed with a smile: "I'm going to take you to have a drink, but I'm not going to let you fight Qiufeng."
The sixteenth prince had a shameless face, but refused to give in and smiled, "This little sister-in-law can't be called in vain, the meeting gift is indispensable." At this point, he lowered his voice and said to the fourteenth prince: "If the fourteenth brother is willing to do it, my brother feels wronged, and he may have to complain about the sister-in-law in the same palace."
When the 14th Prince heard this, he was really amused and laughed. After two years of visiting Wu, he could count the number of times he had been here. The reason was that he was afraid that he would spread to the palace and cause trouble to Wu.
Today, I was here to win over the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong, but I forgot to worry about the Sixteenth Prince.
He laughed awkwardly, revealing a row of white teeth, and said gloomy: "Sixteenth brother is itchy. It seems that he will go to the school with his brother tomorrow?"
When the sixteenth prince saw it, he was afraid. He stepped forward two steps, turned behind Wu, and said, "Sister-in-law, look at the fourteenth brother, you can't be so stingy. Let my sister-in-law clean up so casually. Tomorrow, my brother will make people clean up and give me some palace flowers and brocades for my sister-in-law."
The fourteenth prince was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If the sixteenth prince really did do this, his "hiding the beauty in the golden house" would be exposed. He was not afraid of his wife and concubines being jealous, but he knew that his mother would not agree. Before taking over Wu, he had criticized him indirectly and was preached by Concubine De.
Wu's heart was so erect that there was no way to tell that the Sixteenth Prince was deliberately teasing the Fourteenth Prince. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with a veil, laughed twice, and whispered: "The Sixteenth Master's temperament is completely different from the Fifteenth Master."
The Sixteenth Prince heard it and felt aroused in his heart. He said with a smile: "Little Sister-in-law, I, Xiao Sixteen, are the most righteous. Today I called 'Sister-in-law'. If the Fourteenth Brother dares to bully my sister-in-law in the future, Xiao Sixteen will support you."
Cao Yong stood aside and watched coldly, and could see that the 14th Prince really loved Wu.
Otherwise, he would not have turned his anger into joy for these two sentences and said to Wu: "Forget it, forgot, it's all the emperors who are used to it. This little Sixteen will be a slut when they are young. It seems that if he doesn't let him make a profit, he will not stop. Then bring him the new jade, so that he won't be over."
Wu smiled and agreed, and asked someone to take the jade belt and personally present it to the Sixteenth Prince.
Seeing this, the Sixteenth Prince answered it properly and felt that it was cold. It turned out to be made of high-quality cold jade. Xia Tian brought it with the best. The Sixteenth Prince smiled and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for the meeting gift, my brother accepted it with shamelessness."
The Fourteenth Prince looked around, hummed twice, and said to Wu: "Let me arrange food. Let Xiao Sixteen open his mouth, but I don't know what to ask for?"
Wu and the sixteenth prince, Cao Yong bent down and took the maid out to prepare the table.
The sixteenth prince sent the jade belt to Cao Yong and showed off: "Cao Yong, touch it. This is something that is hard to come by. There may not be such a treasure in the inner trunk, and I have never heard of it in the capital."
Cao Yong saw it and laughed with his face, but he couldn't be happy.
Since it is "not to be met", where can the Fourteenth Prince be replaced in the deep palace? Could it be that the power of the Fourteenth Prince has extended outside the capital?
This year is the 56th year of Kangxi, and the prince went on war on behalf of Tian either this year or next year.
The 14th Prince was stabbed by the 16th Prince. He couldn't stand him proudly, so he glared at him and said, "Is it still a child? I don't care about his identity. Fortunately, it's in front of her, if it's outside, is it embarrassing?"
The sixteenth prince had already squandered the screen, changed his jade belt, shook his fan, and smiled and said, "It was my sister-in-law's gift that my younger brother accepted; if it were someone else, my younger brother wouldn't sell this face!"
Why isn’t this just taking advantage of others and acting good?
The 14th Prince couldn't tell him, so he turned his head and said to Cao Yong: "Cao Yong, you are busy, you are busy, you are rare to get together, you have to drink more tonight."
Cao Yong could only say a few words with him.
According to the etiquette system, the eighth prince's filial piety period has not passed, and neither the fourteenth prince nor the sixteenth prince, who are younger brother, is allowed to drink. But after all, it is not a great filial piety of his parents, and after 49 days, there will be no such concern.
There are many royal families, and if relatives are full of filial piety, then these princes and princes will not be in the filial piety for a day. Therefore, the 14th and 16th princes do not need to abide by the filial piety of nephews like Hongpu.
After a while, Wu had already set up a banquet and came to invite everyone to the flower hall.
The fourteenth prince sat in the middle, the sixteenth prince sat on his left hand, and Cao Yong sat on his right hand. Wu saw that the fourteenth prince had something to talk about, so he brought the wine pot and cup, and put it on everyone's place, and then took the little maid back out.
The 14th Prince had already closed his smile, raised his cup solemnly, and said, "Sixteenth brother, Cao Yong, I wish you two a cup."
The sixteenth prince and Cao Yong looked at each other quickly and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, what do you say to be disrespectful? Brother, let's just drink with you, and you cannot be respected by the fourteenth brother."
"'We'?" The Fourteenth Prince showed a little sadness when he heard this, and said, "Nothing for anything else, just for the past few years, Xiao Sixteen can still say 'we'."
Seeing his behavior like this, the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong understood a little.
It must be for the sake of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince after the Eighth Prince's death.
Cao Yong lowered his eyelids and thought to himself, this is the luck of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince. Otherwise, if you are with you, one will die in the circle, and the other will become a useless person.
It seems that after the eldest prince, the second prince and the eighth prince were gone, the person who was fainted for the sake of the crown prince was replaced by the fourteenth prince.
Although the sixteenth prince understood, he could only pretend to be confused and raised his glass and said, "Drink it. My brother has been hungry for a long time. After drinking this cup, he has to fill his stomach first." As he said that, he raised his hand to dry the wine in the glass.
Cao Yong also drank, held up his chopsticks and started eating.
The fourteenth prince glanced at the sixteenth prince and looked at Cao Yong again, his eyes were very bright...
