Chapter 1027 Golden Branch

Cao Mansion, front yard, main hall.

Seeing the eunuch who was sending the order by the butler Cao Yuan left, Li and Chu Yu looked at each other in surprise.

Li suddenly realized, always feeling that he had heard it wrong, and asked, "Wife, what does the emperor mean by this oral order?"

Chu Yu was also surprised.

Before Emperor Daxing died, he took back three Ruyi, which was to preserve Li's family and also to separate the entanglement between Li and the royal family.

After Emperor Daxing passed away, the new emperor only gave the relics and did not pass on the Li family to worship him in front of the spirit. It seemed that he had agreed to Emperor Daxing's decision.

Now, the new emperor seemed to have changed his mind and asked Li to follow the frames of the eldest princesses to send the spirits.

"Maybe the emperor was sympathetic to his mother-in-law that he issued this kind order." Chu Yu said carefully.

Li's expression changed. He took two steps back and sat next to a chair, showing a little tiredness, and whispered: "I'm making a good deal about this, and I'm going to make people laugh."

Chu Yu stood beside him, not knowing whether the emperor's "grace" was good or bad for his family.

Li shook his head and said, "Did the Emperor... be triggered after a hundred days?"

Chu Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know the specific arrangements. I just need to pay homage to Taimiao and the Family Temple at that time, and I have to wait for auspicious days before the trigger. I think it won't take a few days. I guess I'll leave the capital before the end of the month."

It was hot in April.

"In this way, it's not a few days." Li said: "Since you have to go out and get your wife to worry about the trivial matters."

When Chu Yu saw that her face was not good, he accompanied her to go back to Lanyuan first.

Li returned to Lanyuan and hesitated for a while, saying, "I'm afraid I can't hide it from your grandmother. I've agreed to go to Haidian Garden in the next few days, but it's going to be delayed. Forget it, if she asks, she just says that all the foreigners will follow."

Chu Yu agreed and followed Xiuhe and took Li's clothes outside to serve him.

Li took a seat on the kang, Chu Yu claimed the crime and returned to Wutongyuan to arrange a trip.

Although Chu Yu was not mentioned in the emperor's oral order, when her mother-in-law went out, she always had to serve her as a daughter-in-law.

"The old lady and my carriage covers should be replaced with plain colors. Those who sit and lie on the carriage should also use blue cloth to make a set." Chu Yu sent a few wives in charge and ordered one by one.

"The girl and servant who followed him also have to make a few sets of plain clothes."

"The luggage items you bring cannot be seen with satin or embroidered."

"Prepare two boxes for silver turtles and two boxes for silver hairpins and rings to be used for the old lady to reward people."

Chu Yu made an orderly arrangement, then held his forehead and thought about what else to fall.

Thinking that he would go out for more than ten days, there would always be someone in the mansion to be the head of the family. Cao Yong was a second-rank minister. If there was no accident, he would probably follow the sage.

Chu Yu was a little hesitant, and everyone else was easy to say, just tell the housekeeper to close the door and ask the uncle of the East Mansion to help take care of the outside.

In the inner courtyard, there is a Gao family, who is an elder.

If Li and her were not around, Gao would have heard about the Li family, but it would not be very good.

Although there are few foreign visitors in the house, you must prepare in advance.

But this is the case, I have to wait for Cao Yong to come back and let her husband make the decision. She is a daughter-in-law and has to take into account the mood of her mother-in-law. It is difficult to make decisions and arrange the matter directly.

When Cao Yong came back, Cao Yuan heard the order from someone from the palace to ask Li to follow the funeral of several princesses.

Speaking of which, this is also considered a "grace order".

Thinking about Yongzheng's cold voice outside Yonghe Palace today, Cao Yong could not guess Yongzheng's thoughts.

It was obviously a mother-son fight, but why did you think of the Cao family at this time?

Although he was surprised, he still thought about the matter in the yamen and ordered Cao Yuan to say, "I ask if there is any change in the He Cheng'er family... or what is the movement of the tribe members who work outside..."

He Cheng'e is an old man from the Ministry of Revenue. He is accustomed to serving in the six ministries. He will never inexplicably hinder the emperor's eyes. He always has some trouble. Cao Yong and his colleagues have been a little familiar with his behavior for several years, not as if he is brave enough to violate the law.

Is Yongzheng going to rectify the six ministries or clean up dissidents?

As the chief manager of the Cao Mansion, Cao Yuan is usually in charge of relationships and knows who He Cheng'er is.

"Master, He Cheng'er has a younger brother who is in Sichuan." Cao Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Sichuan..." Cao Yong suddenly remembered Nian Gengyao and felt a little uncomfortable: "Well, let's ask for a good life in the past two days to see if there is anything wrong. Prepare 100 taels of silver and two kilograms of high-quality tobacco leaves. The pipe from the Baiyu-mouthed that the Sixteenth Master sent a few years ago was also found, and handed it to Xiaoman tomorrow morning and take it to the yamen."

He Cheng's umbrella is a cigarette gun. He never left the cigarette pipes and pots in his early years, but in recent years he has changed his pipes.

The Sixteenth Prince has bought several sets of pipes, cigarette holders and He Cheng'er, which were launched in the past few years.

As a colleague of gentlemen, Cao Yong prepared this Cheng Yi, which was enough.

After arranging these, Cao Yong returned to the inner courtyard.

Li just came back from Shaoyuan and met Cao Yong at the entrance of Lanyuan. The mother and son entered the yard together.

When she arrived at the upper room, she pulled her son to the side of the kang, touched his auspicious clothes, and said, "It's so heavy, but she's wearing it to show her energy."

Seeing that she was not indifferent, Cao Yong said, "Sixteenth Master is making glass, why would my mother change the glass window as soon as possible?"

"It's too wasteful to make windows for glass. How can ordinary people use them? The window paper is all newly pasted at the beginning of the month, and the window screen is changed in May. Where can I use glass?" Li waved his hand and said.

The capital is hot in summer, and the screens are changed in summer.

Cao Yong smiled and said, "In this way, the Sixteenth Master's plan to make money will not work until Mid-Autumn Festival."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li had to ask a few questions.

Cao Yong talked about the matter of the Sixteenth Prince's money for the silver. After hearing this, Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Yong'er, why are there any gossip outside? He said that the Sixteenth Prince donated the wealth of the royal family, look at our side..."

"Mother, since it's gossip, why bother to heart? No matter what, that's the matter between the Sixteenth Master and the Emperor's brothers. What does it have to do with our family?" Cao Yong said.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who cares about those things? As long as you are safe, I will be happy to eat braised vegetables."

Cao Yong knew that she was frightened by the changes in the Li and Sun families and comforted her: "The emperor can remember to send someone to pass the order, which shows that he is a kind-hearted person. Mother, please feel at ease, even if he is uncle, he will eventually be peaceful."

Li did not want to mention this to her son. When she talked about her travel, she said, "Do you have to keep following the ceremonial guards of several princesses? You are not familiar with them. Wouldn't you feel embarrassed when you encounter them?"

Cao Yong roughly mentioned the situation of several eldest princesses, among which Princess Rong Xian and Princess Xu Jing, who married the Sun family, lived in the capital for a long time, Li had also met in the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun.

Li thought for a while and said, "Can you not follow the princess and follow the class of life-wife?"

Cao Yong did not understand Yongzheng's intention, and said, "Tomorrow, I will look for the Thirteenth Master to inquire, and see the emperor's intention before making arrangements."

When the emperor of the Great Chamber is in his funeral, most of the royal family members have to go to see him.

Like the Seventh Concubine, the Thirteenth Concubine, the Sixteenth Concubine, and the Seventeenth Concubine are all familiar with the Cao family, and the Prince Ping will also go there.

However, even if Li did not follow the princess and followed the rules, he was not qualified to go with these princes, princes and concubines, and he would be listed behind everyone.

"Hello, if you can, change it, otherwise, I always feel nervous and not easy to meet people..." Li sighed and said, "I have been satisfied with you for a long time, and I really don't have the intention to stick to wealth..."

When the mother and son said this, Chu Yu also came over.

It is impossible to mention the provincial examination in April. Tianyou begged Cao Yong to beg him and named him in Shuntian Mansion in advance. Zuo lived there. Although Zuo Cheng was jealous, his grades in the college style were low, so he was not qualified to directly participate in the provincial examination.

Deep love does not last long, and extreme wisdom will cause harm.

It is a good thing for his son to be motivated, but Cao Yong is also afraid that he will be tired.

"Calling the days, I'll almost come back from the imperial tomb by then. But these days, you should take care of him more and don't make him too tired." Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu nodded, and was a little worried about his eldest son.

Everyone was talking about homely when they heard the rushing footsteps coming from the yard.

It was Cao Fu who came.

He was wearing a robe, and it seemed that he had just returned from the Hanlin Academy.

He entered the room and first greeted everyone. Li asked, "I rushed over in such a hurry, but what's wrong with the East Mansion?"

Cao Fu smiled and said, "What's wrong? It's just that my nephew misses my uncle. Come and invite me to my uncle and talk to my elder brother about the fate of Brother Li."

Seeing him like this, Li thought he had heard that an eunuch had issued an order for him to worry about him, so he came to visit him and said with a smile: "It's fine."

Cao Fu had always been close to Li, and he said a few words with him, but his eyes kept aiming at Cao Yong.

Seeing this, Cao Yong stood up and said, "Mother, I happened to have something to do to talk to Xiaowu. Let's go to the study first."

Li waved his hand and said, "Go, go, you'll have to set up your meal in a while, Xiao Wu is not allowed to leave. Today, Changping Zhuangzi sent a lot of wild vegetables and asked someone to make wild vegetable cakes for you." The latter sentence was said to Cao Fu.

Cao Yong and Cao Feng agreed and picked up the curtains.

After leaving Lanyuan, Cao Fu said anxiously: "Brother, trouble is here, but what should I do?"

When Cao Yong heard this, his heart skipped a beat and said, "Tell me carefully, what's wrong?"

"A woman is looking for her second brother." Cao Fu said with a blushing face: "What's this called? She has a big belly and looks like that. I'm afraid it's been six or seven months... My second brother is on duty today and is not at home. The housekeeper dares not report it. He placed it in the doorman and sent someone to welcome me..." As he said that, he complained a little: "The second brother is too confused. My second sister-in-law has been suffering over the years, and he is still like this. Isn't this slap my second sister-in-law in the face?"

After hearing this, Cao Yong frowned and said, "Where did the woman come from? Whose name is, have you found out clearly?"

"I just said that I came from Xining, but the others refused to say that I would only say that I would meet my second brother." Cao Fu said.

Cao Yong rubbed his eyebrows, feeling annoyed.

Should Cao Song go to the northwest to join the army, tolerate women, or to raise them up or be charged with them? If it is just a marriage, how can he be recruited to his family again?
