Chapter 93

Bo Li

In November, Cao Song went to Zhaojiazong to study. In addition to fighting the two servants brought by Jiangning and two accompanying him, Cao Yong asked Cao Zhong to find two people in the mansion's custody and protect him to school with great skills.

Since Yongjia followed Cao Yong and others to thank Seshtu, she asked someone to send a letter to Wanyan Mansion and asked them to send a car to pick her up, but she has not received any reply for a long time. She was originally a person with a clear mind, but this time it was a surprise that her parents asked her to recover from her injuries in Cao Mansion. But she thought it was because of Baoya, and the second brother said good things to her parents because of her little abacus. Because she had been in Cao Mansion for about ten days, Yongsheng would come here two or three days under the guise of visiting her sister. She never thought of herself, and she didn't expect that her parents had the intention of marrying her.

At the moment, Wanyan's mansion refused to send a car to pick him up, so only a few mothers came, and advised the lady to recover from her sorrow. Only then did Yongjia think of the reason, and he didn't know whether it was shame or anger. He was greedy for the warmth in the mansion and deceived himself into being a fool, and he was afraid that it would become a joke in the eyes of others.

Where can Yongjia have the right to live? He immediately begged Baoya and went back to Wanyan Mansion that day.

Later, Baoya and Cao Yi visited Yongjia twice, and it was fine if they wanted to pull her out for a walk, but if they were asked to go up to the gate of Cao's mansion, they would not be able to do so. They were injured for a hundred days, and Yongjia used recuperation as an excuse. How could Baoya and the others be stronger than her?

In order to reward the Cao family for their care for their daughter, Wan Jiha specially set up a family dinner and invited Cao Yong and his three sisters. Even his princess and wife came out to meet the three younger generations in person. When she saw Cao Yong, she looked at her carefully, and her face became more warm.

Although the Cao brother and sister grew up in the south, the good education they have developed since childhood is no less than that of the powerful and powerful children in Beijing. They have never been rude when speaking and acting. Wanjiha and his wife have seen it and are secretly satisfied.

Perhaps it was because of the Wanjiha couple's expression of their son-in-law that Cao Yong felt so angry. Although he had a good impression of Yongjia, he was not as good as he wanted to marry him. Yongjia was a typical Manchu noble daughter, unlike Baoya's cuteness, but she always showed a little awesomeness in her smile. There were many confusions in Manchu and Han living habits, and Cao Yong did not intend to marry a Manchu lady as his wife.

Fortunately, Wanyan's family is not suitable for too many social engagements, so Cao Yong doesn't have to bite the bullet and deal with the Wanjiha couple. If it is Ma Liandao, Cao Yong can still make excuses to refuse; but if it is Wanjiha couple, he must consider it again, after all, it must also take into account the relationship between Yongqing and Yongjia brothers and sisters.

Yongjia left, and Baoya had no reason to stay in the Cao family. She reluctantly took people back to the palace. However, she still came here in a few days, and her relationship with Cao Yi became deeper. At present, Cao Jia had already passed the confinement period and was getting better. Seeing that her sister and sister-in-law were about to get along, she often sent a car to pick her up and stay in the palace for a few days.

When studying in the study room every day, Cao Yong's grades are quite good. Many of his classmates have been beaten by his husband, but he has never been caught. Although his homework is good, it is not the kind that is first-class, and it will not arouse the jealousy or attention of others. In this way, Cao Yong's life in the study room is repeated in a low-key manner.

In mid-November, people from Jiangning came to bring letters from Cao Yin, Li and others.

Cao Yin mentioned the breeding of Taihu pearls in his letter. The first batch of beads this year have been harvested, with a total of more than 5,000, including nearly 1,000 top-quality beads; in addition, he also mentioned that he would enter Beijing by the end of the month.

Li was caring earnestly, and told his son to take care of his health over and over again, and took care of his younger brothers and sisters with all his heart. He mentioned Cao Yi again, and heard that she was relieved. Cao Yong mentioned in his letter to his family in October, so Li knew about this. In addition, Li also mentioned Zheng Woxue, saying that he came to the mansion to greet him in October, and now he is very good at going out and treats people gentlely.

Although he had been in the Cao family for many years and had little communication with Cao Yin, he was a family of family after all. Therefore, when Cao Yong learned that Cao Yin was going to Beijing, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. In his heart, he still trusted his father's ability. At present, many puzzles that cannot be seen clearly may be able to know the key.

As for the matter of Zheng Woxue mentioned by his mother, Cao Yong suspected that it was his father's intention. Since Zheng Woxue knew the secret of raising pearls, how could Cao Yin allow her to leave the Cao family? Thinking of the girl dressed in men's clothes and cried to slave the elder brother, Cao Yong felt a little guilty. He was too incomplete at the time and inexplicably tied the brother and sister to the Cao family's boat. However, in order to keep the secret of raising pearls, Cao Yong was extremely dissatisfied with the method of taking Zheng Woxue as his concubine. If he acted like this, if he needed it again in the future, would his wife have to marry one by one?

With the letter from Cao Yin and Li's family, there were also various clothes and food prepared by Jiangning for the three brothers and sisters. Among them, there was also the snake oil essence that Cao Yong specifically asked for a few months ago. Because this was from Fujian and the output was very small, it took several months to find it and only got a few bottles the size of a palm.

In addition, Cao Fang also believed in it, mainly to investigate Wenxiu's family. Because it was not easy to inquire about more than ten years later, it was not easy to inquire. Because most local people in Jiangning like osmanthus, almost every family had to plant a few trees, and there were many families with osmanthus gardens. Therefore, there was no useful news in the past half month, and we still need to continue to investigate.

Azuki took a few stewardesses to count all the clothes and food sent by Jiang Ning. He then assigned them to the yard of Cao Yong and others according to the order there.

Now, there are two young masters and a young lady living in the capital. They are both legitimate sons of the two families, and the pillars of the Cao family in the future. The servants in the family are very dedicated to serving each other. Although a young lady is the name of adopted daughter, no one dares to neglect. When Cao Yichu entered Beijing, an old lady was blindly open and said a few words and was driven out by Zi Jing. Her family begged Cao Zhong to plead with Cao Yong. When Cao Yong heard this, his face looked very ugly and even the family was sent away. Since then, no one dared to look down on this lady.

There was only one sister, Cao Yong was afraid of making her wronged. Among the eight maids bought by his mother, Li, except for the two who served Mr. Zhuang, the other four gave Cao Yi and two gave Cao Song. In addition, all kinds of supplies were all in the Zhuyuan area, and the silver and money were not limited.

Zi Jing was also afraid that the girl would be bored, so after beating Yongjia, Baoya and others left, she went to the Zhuyuan several times a day to discuss housework with Cao Yi, do some needlework with her, etc.

This time, Cao Yin and Li also had letters from home to Cao Yi, and Cao Yong personally sent them to the bamboo courtyard.

When Cao Yi heard that his parents had written a letter, he took it from Cao Yong with a trembling trembling. After thinking for a moment, he opened Li's first. After reading it for a moment, tears flowed down his eyes.

"Ping'er?" Cao Yong looked at her with concern: "But what was written in his mother's letter?"

Cao Yi cried and said, "My mother is blaming me! She said she had taught me carefully for many years, but she was so unreasonable. When she encountered some twists and turns, she would be humble. She was really unfilial! She also said that when I returned to the south, she would have to discipline me well and would not let me be so confused again!"

After hearing this, Cao Yong hurriedly comforted him: "Mother just scares you. She has always loved you the most, so how could she bear to punish you!"

Cao Yi shook his head slightly: "Brother is thinking about it. I'm not afraid that my mother will punish me. I'm happy! My mother didn't blame me, and she finally treated me as her daughter!"

"Silly girl, what's wrong with you? It's not your fault. How could the family have so much resentment!" Cao Yong took a sip of tea and said.

Cao Yong gently wiped his tears, then took Cao Yin's letter nervously, and sent it for a while before he opened it to see it.

Cao Yin only had a few words in his letter, asking her if she was healthy and felt guilty that she had not taken good care of her daughter because she had been seriously ill a few months ago. She then mentioned that she would pick her up back to Jiangning after entering Beijing.

Whether it was the mother's blame or the father's fault, it caused Cao Yi to feel sad.

Seeing that although Cao Yong forced himself to cry, his face was filled with joy and felt relieved.

Forbidden City, East Road, Prince's Office.

After going to study and going to school, Cao Yong followed the Sixteenth Prince to visit the Thirteenth Prince who was recuperating. Since returning from outside the Great Wall, his health has not been good. His rheumatism is extremely serious. If no one helps him, he will not be able to walk.

Kangxi felt a little bit of afflicted with his son, whether it was the southern tour or the northern tour, he would take him by his side when he left Kyoto. In addition to the prince, he spent the most time with the Thirteenth Prince and had the deepest relationship. Alas, this is "the deep love and the deepest responsibility". In the last year's abolishment of the prince, the Thirteenth Prince was also punished very severely. The Thirteenth Prince's illness was imprisoned and sat down while sitting in the beekeeping corridor.

Now that the prince is re-established, it seems that the storm of fighting for the throne last year has disappeared. Kangxi remembered this son and was particularly concerned about his condition. He has issued many instructions to the Imperial Hospital to treat him with all his heart.

Helplessly, the Thirteenth Prince was so wet and cold, so where was it easy to treat? The Imperial Hospital prescribed several prescriptions, all of which were very effective, so he had to focus on conditioning.

Seeing the few small bottles that Cao Yong brought, the Thirteenth Prince was overjoyed: "This one can be found again! You gave me the last time, so I used it very well. I knew it was a land item I got from the mountain, so I didn't speak to you anymore. I once asked the people from the Imperial Hospital to refine a few bottles, but the effect was not obvious. It's hard for you to be willing, so I really should thank you!"

Cao Yong hurriedly said that he did not dare to thank him, and then took out Zhang Fangzi from his arms and handed it to him: "Thirteenth Master, this is the prescription I found this time, because this snake oil was refined by the Golden Ring Snake. It was too little and it was highly poisonous. Few people caught it. This snake oil was not very good, but the method of refining was simple. This golden Ring Snake is not unique to Fujian, and it also exists in Guangdong and Guangxi. If you know the officials in the three places, it is not rare to get some!"

The Thirteenth Prince smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am the one in the ranking. How dare I bother the officials from the three places to refine medicine for me? I'm afraid that the medicine has not been obtained yet, and the impeachment of the imperial envoy and the order from the clan's mansion will be issued!"

From Kangxi's favorite prince to his current awkward identity, not everyone can stand such ups and downs. Now, even the 14th Prince, who is two years younger than him, has been granted Gushan Beizi, and the 13th Prince has become the only one who has no title among all adult princes.

When Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince thought of this, they didn't know how to comfort him, and the room became quiet.

After a while, the Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "I forgot just now that the Fourth Brother has a disciple who is the prefect in Fujian. It seems that I can ask the Fourth Brother for help in this matter!"
