Chapter 795: Strike

By late May, the weather in the capital became so hot. Since the beginning of summer, there have been a few rains, which are not as scarce as in previous years, but the heat of summer is difficult to eliminate.

In Wutong Garden, water is sprinkled in the yard several times every morning and evening, and ice basins are placed in the house, but it is still so hot that people can't sleep.

After Cao Yin and his wife finished their marriage, they had already returned to Haidian Garden. Cao Yong did not sleep well for two consecutive days. When Chu Yu said he missed his daughter and planned to send someone to pick her up at the Pingwang Mansion, he said, "After picking up Tianhui, let's clean up and go to Haidian Garden. I'll go there too, and I'm about to get into bed. I'll come back after June."

These days, Cao Yong had to get up every midnight, and his eyes were hunched over. Chu Yu saw that the pain was in the center of his eyes, so he was thinking about going to Haidian Garden. But he thought that Cao Yong had to be a job every day, but he was afraid that his husband would be tired.

After hearing Cao Yong's words, she gently waved the fan to fan her husband, and said, "Can you not rest for a few days? You will be exhausted when you enter the city sooner or later."

"Although the Holy Lord is not in Beijing, he has a lot of official documents and cannot rest for the time being. It's okay, when you travel when it's cool in the morning and evening, you should just take it as a move." Cao Yong replied: "Don't slap it, your hands are sore."

Chu Yu then put down the fan, and the couple gradually fell asleep...

East Mansion, East Crossing Courtyard, Up House.

In the dark night, Jinghui was awakened by pain, and she felt cold sweat under her body. She had given birth to her first child, so she naturally knew what the twitching in her body was.

"Qiu'er, Qiu'er..." Jinghui grabbed the mattress, endured the pain, and called hard.

He heard someone on the ground get up and said in a daze: "Grandma wants to have tea?"

"I'm going to give birth, please let someone tell me... my wife and the fifth grandma..." After saying this, Jinghui couldn't help but moan.

Cao Song is on duty in the palace. These days it happens to be night and he has to go home every morning.

Jinghui's dowry girl Chun'er is old and is matched with Mo Shu, the servant beside Cao Song. She is still working with Jinghui, but she is not here at night.

Qiu'er, who is on night today, has a man named Dong'er in the outer room. They are all born in the Cao family. They were originally the little maids in this yard. Jinghui looked at her honest work and ordered them to make up for the lack of maids.

At this moment, Qiu'er had already woken up and quickly picked up the lamp.

Dong'er was outside and heard the movement and came in to see him in clothes. Seeing Jinghui's face full of cold sweat, she was shocked.

Qiu'er had already picked up the curtain and called out to send letters to Zhaojia and Suxin's yard.

At this moment, the jade dragon and purple orchid in the east and west wings also heard the noise of the room, which made people hold the lights.

Hearing Jinghui's moans, both of them were also worried. They invited the imperial physician to see it two days ago, saying that it was half a month before the delivery period, and somehow they had a fetal movement tonight.

Su Xin heard the maid coming to report that Jinghui was about to give birth, and she was worried, saying, "Go to the second gate and ask someone to come over to the baby. Then I will call Madam Wang and Madam Li in the mansion to the East Courtyard."

As she said, she got up to wear clothes.

Cao Fu heard the movement and stood up and said, "Why are you going to have a good time? My second brother is not at home either."

Although Su Xin was older and had never had children, she became more worried after hearing her husband's words, but she knew that she was in trouble at this time. She put on her clothes casually and replied: "I heard from the old man that even if it is full term at nine months, it is not a problem."

At this moment, a maid has already entered the room to serve.

Seeing that Cao Fu had not put on his clothes yet, Su Xin said, "Master, I'll go to the East Courtyard first."

Cao thought for a while and said, "I'll let me go to the Fourth Brother's yard to tell my fourth sister-in-law. She is young, but she is my sister-in-law. If you have something to do at home, it's hard to leave her behind."

Su Xin responded, picked up the curtain and went out to the east courtyard while instructing someone to report to the fourth grandma...

After a while, everyone in the East Mansion gathered in the East Cross Courtyard.

Although the babysitter outside had not arrived yet, the babysitter Wang and the babysitter Li in the mansion had experience in delivering. For a moment, the water boiled water and the cloth was held, but they did not look panic.

After hearing that Mrs. Wang said that Jinghui was suffering from a laborious situation, there was nothing serious. After waiting for the childbirth, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Jia turned her head and said to Cao Xiang brothers: "Women have children, what are you doing? Go back to bed quickly and don't cause trouble here."

Seeing that it was not dangerous, Cao Xiang and Cao Fu also let down their breath. But at this time, who could still fall asleep? The brothers came out together, and Cao Fu said, "Fourth brother, go to the front yard to sit?"

Cao Xiang replied, and then Cao Feng said again: "It's good to have a nephew, and his second sister-in-law can be more at ease."

After hearing this, Cao Xiang thought of the unexpected talk of his biological mother and Lu Ju a few days ago. He said that his second grandmother's complexion was smooth and she liked spicy food. Her fetus looked like a daughter, and she didn't feel a little heavy.

It is difficult for the Cao family to be a man, and it is difficult for the Cao family to be a wife. In particular, Jinghui is also the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife, who is not only responsible for the family but also responsible for the reproduction of offspring.

The two brothers arrived at the front yard, but they were just gossiping. I heard that the delivery nanny arrived and the second sister-in-law was not dying for delivery, so they supported their spirits and waited for the news that the child had landed.

After two or three hours, the sky was already white outside the window. The two brothers drank a pot of tea and lost their color before they saw the mother report that it was the second grandma who had added a girl...

"Miss?" Chu Yu sighed when the second wife came to report the good news and signaled Xiyan to send the red envelope. She knew that Jinghui was looking forward to her son, but she was afraid that she would be sad, so she couldn't wait and wanted to go over and comfort her immediately.

Cao Yong was having breakfast when he heard that he had added a niece and his face became more joyful.

He did not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. He was already very happy when he heard that it was a natural birth. After all, in this era, women were like dying and dying.

Seeing Chu Yu's expression, Cao Yong said, "It's good for girls. How old is the waiter, and his younger brother and sister are younger, and there will be a time to have a child in the future."

Chu Yu said: "If you don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid the second wife will feel uncomfortable. The second wife talks about her grandson, but she has been having some days."

Cao Yong thought of Zhao Jia's broken mouth and also had a headache for Jinghui, frowned and said, "The second wife is so unsatisfied. She must make a good life three or two days, which makes people unhappy."

"Mr., if you don't ask someone to talk to your wife, and then the second wife will live in Haidian Garden for a few days, so that you can't be at ease even if you have a confinement period." Chu Yu thought for a while and said.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, the second brother and sister are really worried. Even if the second wife doesn't say anything, it's not good to feel good. If the second wife says something else, she doesn't know what to think about."

Having said that, Cao Yong didn't like Zhao Jia. If she wanted to go to Haidian Garden, Cao Yong's idea of ​​avoiding the summer heat had faded a little...

Forbidden City, the inner hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The sixteenth prince felt comfortable all over and was walking lightly. He had just come out of the Guangchusi Bank. Ten days have passed since May 15th, and one million taels of snowflakes have been counted into the warehouse.

The Interior Affairs Office made this noise, and the powerful and powerful in the capital had long been looking at each other. But they heard that it was only limited to the royal family, so others could only stare at it. After the remaining 100,000 shares were sold out, they would be divided up in the royal family every few days. Several of the families were too late to get the news, and they couldn't catch up, and even pulled the Sixteenth Prince to complain a few times.

Nowadays, the bank's personnel are trained and the place where the bank is opened is two industries under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yes, there are two places. One in the East City and one in the West City, and we plan to open together.

When selecting personnel from the Office of the Internal Affairs, the Sixteenth Prince even chose the weak family background and was young and obedient, and was worried that Han Jiang would not be able to surrender. However, after picking the people, the Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but laugh at himself, his grandmother was a little bit.

If Han Jiang didn’t even know how to manage people, how could he support a lot of things?

According to his and Cao Yong's plan, the "Qing Bank" could not help but open in the capital, and would develop into the provincial capital in the future. By that time, it would still be able to operate off-site exchange business to facilitate commercial circulation.

The sixteenth prince had a curved eye. He was counting on the opening day of the bank. Thinking of the gimmicks that Cao Yong had mentioned, he saw Zhao Feng bent over and said, "Master, Rehe has a letter coming." As he spoke, he delivered the letter with both hands.

The Sixteenth Prince took it with a smile, gathering two letters, one of which was the Seventh Prince and the other one of which was the Fifteenth Prince. He was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the Seventh Prince to send another letter. He opened the letter and read it. There were only a few words inside, just admonishing the Sixteenth Prince to be cautious in his words and actions, not to be troubled and not please him, and to be praised for his reputation as "seizing profits from the people."

Seeing this, the sixteenth prince couldn't help laughing. He was not a long-winded person, but he told him, because he was afraid that he would implicate his good son-in-law.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "Qing Bank" was completed, which was the contribution of the Sixteenth Prince; if it was broken, Cao Yong behind it would not be able to get it.

Thinking of this, the Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but smile and felt heavy in his heart. The idea of ​​taking the opportunity to make some contributions and make some money disappeared.

The Ninth Prince had a prince's brother and a prince's brother who relied on him, and there was Concubine Yi as a backer in the palace, so he could be free to do so; he was a little arrogant when he had no titles or qualities.

The third prince and the fourth prince are both in the prince's mansion, and their annual salary is 10,000 taels. In addition to the money from the farm when they were divided, they had money in hand, so this time they only paid 20,000 taels.

I have passed the 100,000 taels.

Thinking of this, the Sixteenth Prince decided to sell the five cents of his name to three cents, which just comforted several families with complaints and could reduce his debts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was the price of both parties.

As for the money, all expenses are now paid in the palace; if you go out in the future, the title is low and the money is not enough, you will learn from Cao Yong to open a shop. If the title is at Beile, then it will be enough to stay calm.

The sixteenth prince sighed and thought about the four words "no desires, but strong" in his heart, feeling much calmer, and he opened the letter from the fifteenth prince happily.

After reading a few words, the Sixteenth Prince changed his face.

In the letter from the fifteenth prince, he expressed his gratitude to him for adding 10,000 taels of silver to the fifteenth prince. In fact, he used the emperor's father's silver as a favor and was very powerful. The sarcasm in it was very mean.

After the letter, the fifteenth prince also mentioned that the previous 10,000 taels were borrowed from others and needed to be paid as soon as possible; and the concubine and mother were granted the title, so he had no silver to prepare for the gift. The two items were added to each piece, which required 10,000 taels of silver. The sixteenth prince asked the "help" for brotherly love. Otherwise, the same mother and brother would be proud and the other would be in a down-and-out manner, which would be a joke.

The sixteenth prince held the letter in his hand and felt cold in his heart.

He planned everything and thought about his brotherly love, and would rather bear an extra 10,000 taels of silver in his debt. He even felt guilty about taking care of his brother before, what would he get in the end?

There is no thanks for a word, only a full volume of ridicule and a greed.

For a moment, only Xiao Suo was left.

When the Ninth Prince shook his fan and entered the door, he saw the lonely scene of Prince Sixteen. He glanced at the letter in Prince Sixteen's hand and said, "What are Xiao Sixteen thinking? I have been here for a while, but I haven't seen it."

The sixteenth prince woke up and put the letter in his hand aside, stood up and said, "What's the wind blowing today? Brother Jiu is coming to see his younger brother?"

In addition to loving money, the Ninth Prince also loves the desire to be polite. Among all the princes, his figure can be called fat. After the eighth Prince passed away the previous year, he has reduced a lot; now, time has passed and has returned to his former appearance.

Because he is fat, he is more afraid of heat. Although he stayed in the capital due to bank affairs, he rarely went out after the heat.

The Ninth Prince didn't wait for him to give up his seat, so he found a comfortable place to sit and said, "Some days I haven't seen you anymore. You are a busy person again, so I can only walk over."

Seeing that his forehead was sweating, the sixteenth prince hurriedly called Zhao Feng and said, "Hurry up and send someone two more ice basins."

After a moment, the ice basin was brought up. The Ninth Prince took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead before he felt more comfortable.

At this moment, the sixteenth prince had returned to normal sex and said, "If there is still herbal tea in the prince's office, I can only invite Brother Ninth to drink Longjing at the yamen."

The Ninth Prince said, "Sixteenth brother, stop doing it, I'm not looking for food for you."

The sixteenth prince served tea before sat down in front of the ninth prince and said, "So, is it that Ninth brother asking his younger brother if he has something to do?"

The Ninth Prince took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Well, let me tell you, I plan to write a memorial to the Emperor Ama and go to Henan Prefecture."

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he was quite surprised and said, "How did Brother Ninth think of leaving Beijing? He left at this time, it was so hot."

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "It's not that time that I have to wait until the beginning of autumn is cool, otherwise wouldn't it be my life? I heard that the artificial land there is much cheaper than the capital. If the cigarette factory is set up there, it will save money than the capital. However, you have to see with your own eyes how the roads and how transportation is done, so that you can have a clear idea in your heart."

The Ninth Prince is a person who is very enjoyable. If you are not afraid of the hardship of the road, you will go to Luoyang to check it out in person, which made the Sixteenth Prince feel a little bit admirable and said, "It's still the Ninth Brother who thinks carefully. I heard Cao Yong say that the people over there have a difficult life. If they can benefit the people in this way, it will be a blessing for the Ninth Brother."

The Ninth Prince picked the corner of his mouth and said, "It's hard to say whether it's good or not. It's rare that the Emperor Ahma has something to trust me. If he loses his job and loses his face, can Emperor Ahma's temper still tolerate me?"
