Chapter 944 The Finishing

On the 14th day of the first lunar month, Cao Yong went to Li's house in person and sent some gifts to him, which was to be practiced by his uncle.

The uncle and nephew exchanged greetings for a while, Li Xu's words were utilitarian, while Cao Yong played Tai Chi for a while. It was just that the family was difficult, and brothers and nephews had to worry too much. It was not easy to live in the capital, so it was not easy.

Although Li Xu had a smile on his face, his eyes when he looked at Cao Yong began to turn cold.

He was just a test, but Cao Yong didn't say anything about it at all and just blocked the words. How could he not make people angry?

He held his own identity as an elder, and he was a little bit of ambition. He sneered and said, "Everyone said that the Cao family is rich and the Daoxiang Village is making money every day. I didn't expect that my nephew's life will still be like this. Could it be that it is spreading rumors?"

Cao Yong lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup at hand, wanting to reply, "Do you do the most important things."

It is said that the Cao family is rich and rich, when the Cao family is in Jiangnan. Now the Cao family is in Beijing, with only a hundred hectares of land and only a few mansions, but they are just ordinary powerful families.

Daoxiang Village has some income, but in recent years, as Nandian shops have opened more and more, many follow-up shops have emerged, including "Guixiang Village" and "Ouxiang Village", which has made the income not as good as before.

What is really eye-catching is the money given to the Queen Mother. It is said that there are tens of thousands of taels of silver and antique calligraphy and paintings.

Why didn't Li Xu use his brain? He was actually thinking about this property. Could it be that a relative's name can make such a righteous plan?

"Maybe it's my uncle's words." Cao Yong put down the teacup and said lightly: "My nephew's life is not easy."

Li Xu was choked, but what could he do? Besides, he talked about anything else, but he felt relieved. It would be of no benefit to the Li family to break up with the Cao family.

His brothers died one after another, and there were no talented people among his nephews, and the remaining few descendants were difficult to support the Li family.

The Li family is already an empty air, looking decent, but in fact it is in danger.

In the emperor's mind, the Cao and Li families have always been different. The emperor was already impatient with the Li family if he could be favored by the Cao family for three generations. It was just that Gu Nian's old minister, so he did not have the position to touch Li Xu.

Thinking of this, Li Xu was a little decadent, but he was not as sharp as before: "Cao Yong, I don't know when you had any grudges against the Li family, but in my heart, I always treat you as your nephew. You are precocious and have a strong sense of prevention, so there is no need to. I am with your father... I was also a friend with similar intentions in my early years, but then I acted differently and gradually drifted away... I just regret that I didn't listen to your father's words back then, and I regarded the deficit as a big deal as soon as possible. Now that I am powerless, the Li family is afraid that the fortune will not last long!"

Although Cao Yong was still young when he bought land in Cao Yin, he was still lucky to have seen the account books of the Weaving Mansion in Cao Yin's study.

The Cao family's deficit was more than one million taels; the Li family lived in a luxurious life, and Li Xu was a famous and generous person, so the deficit would only be more or less.

If the Li family had started to organize the program more than ten years ago, they would not be able to fill it up even though they had not.

Cao Yong sighed, but admired Sun Wencheng.

The same weaving house, the Cao and Li families looked decent and took over several times. They were actually famined for the emperor. They looked good on their faces and had a history of blood and tears behind them.

Sun Wencheng is lukewarm and honestly becomes a royal slave, without any trouble.

Seeing that Cao Yong didn't speak, Li Xu couldn't help but ask, "My nephew is in Beijing, and he is observing the six ministries and listening to all directions. It's not as obstructing his uncle, but he can give me some advice?"

What he is most concerned about is the matter of the crown prince.

At the moment, he was confused and he didn't dare to be sure that the 14th Prince succeeded to the throne. The emperor attached more importance to the Fourth Prince, and asked Prince Cheng's prince and the eldest son of the emperor Hongxi to work in the Ministry of Personnel to marry the true wife for the 14th Prince's legitimate son.

A "general king" seems to have confined the fourteenth prince, but it seems to have other arrangements hidden.

In addition, what grandson Li Cheng has repeatedly mentioned in front of Li Xu in the past two years, the relationship between the Cao family and the Fourth Prince's Mansion has shocked and puzzled Li Xu.

The Cao family is indeed closer to the Fourth Prince, but it doesn’t seem like they are standing in line.

Li Xu was dissatisfied and could not believe that Cao Yong's vision would be higher than himself.

Cao Yong naturally heard the meaning of his words, but he just didn't want to say anything. The reason for the disaster came from the mouth. After Cao Yong entered the officialdom, he kept it in mind.

Regarding the inheritance of the throne, Cao Yong refused to say a correct word in front of the Sixteenth Prince. How could he talk too much in front of Li Xu?

"It is better to have less deficits than to have more. My uncle thought of these things and used his family's wealth to fill them in the future." Cao Yong thought that the fourth prince was the most unwilling tolerant of corrupt officials, so he said this.

Although the Li family's deficit is still spent on the Li family, many of them are spent on their own.

Isn’t it clear that he spent tens of thousands of taels to buy a costume for the actor?

Kangxi was concerned about his relationship and turned a blind eye, but the fourth prince couldn't get sand in his eyes.

When the house is confiscated, if the Li family is left alone, the fourth prince may raise it high and let it go; if some gold, silver and treasures are collected, the Li family's crimes will be increased.

Li Xu stood up with a "swish", stared at Cao Yong, and said in a deep voice: "In your eyes, will my Li family be defeated?"

Cao Yong raised his head and looked at him and said, "Not to mention thirty years, how many people have escaped from the foreign officials who have been in charge of the same place for ten years?"

After hearing this, Li Xu gradually calmed down, sighed, and said, "I am so confused that I am actually putting the Li family in a desperate situation."

Cao Yong felt uncomfortable when he remembered his mother's illness these days.

According to the world, in order to protect himself and alienate himself from his mother's family, he violated filial piety.

In front of his mother, he promised that the Li family would provide help with their backwardness, but if the Li family was really at the forefront of the storm, Cao Yong would never be the one who would harm him.

After all, it was because he had never regarded the Li family as a real relative from the beginning.

Li Xu seemed to believe it, but was unwilling to give up. After thinking about it, he said, "This time I went to Beijing, I brought 20,000 taels of silver. It was originally considered filial piety... Later, I felt that the capital was unpredictable, so there was no trouble. The Li family was defeated by me, and it was my own crime. If it harmed my descendants, even if I died, I would have no face to see the ancestors of the Li family. I begged my nephew once, and I still hope that my nephew would provide help. Can I ask my nephew to keep the 20,000 taels of silver for the sake of this 20,000 taels of silver?"

"Why bother? Even if the 20,000 taels of silver can be kept now, when the Suzhou Weaving Mansion account is counted, the silver will be collected and cannot be hidden, and the Cao family will bear the charges. The nephew is really powerless, so please ask your uncle to be polite." Cao Yong said softly or hard.

Human greed is so strange.

The money was clearly obtained by Li Xu from the Weaving Mansion account, and it was not born to belong to the Li family. However, the Li family forgot that they were stolen and possessed with confidence.

Li Xu performed for a while and saw that Cao Yong still couldn't pour oil in, so he didn't keep any affection.

He was so angry that he forced himself to socialize for a few words and sent the guests out.

Cao Yong looked back and looked at the gate of Li's house, and really sighed at the old confusion of Li Xu.

He clearly said that he asked Li Xu to "severe meat plan" to sell his property and seek an opportunity to be lighter; but Li Xu was in chaos and was very likely to have the intention of hiding his property.

After all, it is still the word "greed".

Cao Yong decided to check his sons' "account book" after he went back and educated them well, so that he would not only enjoy life, but not be tempted by gold and silver.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong did not return to Wutongyuan, and then went directly to Kuiyuan to check the account books of his two sons.

The two brothers Tianyou and Hang Seng are two "money skewers" who love money. They honestly handed over the account book to Cao Yong for checking, and also asked in a low voice whether they need to go to pay New Year's greetings again?

They followed Cao Yong out to worship for a few days. The red envelope hand was soft and they got a bunch of gold and silver ingots. So they began to look forward to the New Year greetings, and their preferences were not boring.

Chu Yu asked people to collect all the gold and silver, but they were also "earned" by themselves. After several lines were added to the account book, the mood was better.

Cao Yong looked through the account books and found that he was clear about when and where he spent a few papers.

Just as he was about to say a few more words to his sons and cultivate each other's tacit understanding, he saw Xiao Xie come in and report, "Master, please send someone to ask the master to go back."

Cao Yong stood up, gave a few instructions to his sons, and turned to Wutongyuan.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Chu Yu walking out wearing out clothes and a few maids.

Her face was pale, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes. She stepped forward, held Cao Yong's arm, and said in a crying voice: "Mr., Ah Ma sent someone to tell me to return to the palace..."

Cao Yong also reported that when he heard this.

Because she was worried about her concubine's illness, Chu Yu had already returned to the royal palace twice in the past half month. Because she was both bodies and showed her worries, she wanted to serve her biological mother, but she was persuaded to come back every time.

Today, I took the initiative to pick him up and contact Fang Fujin. No wonder Chu Yu was afraid. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you."

While talking, the couple left the Cao family together.

The atmosphere in Prince Chun’s mansion is extremely depressing, and several princes are there.

Chu Yu entered the inner courtyard and went to the residence of the concubine. Several young ladies stood behind the concubine and stood in the hall.

The Seventh Prince was there, sitting in front of the Seventh Concubine, looking a little haggard.

Why do you need such a situation? Chu Yu lowered his head, feeling that his heart was cut like a knife.

Sure enough, the Seventh Prince whispered: "Go and see your mother!"

Chu Yu nodded, parted with his father and his mother, and entered the inner room.

The concubine lies beside the kang, watching her daughter come in, her eyes land on her belly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Didn't you tell me to come too little, why are you back?"

Chu Yu took two steps forward, held his biological mother's hand, and tears fell down.

The concubine looked at Chu Yu and showed a sad look on her face...

Front yard, living room.

Hongshu and the others didn't say anything.

The person who was passing the message in the second gate arrived, and everyone's expression changed when they heard the sound.
