Chapter 1096: The Funny After Mid-Autumn Festival

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, several incidents happened.

Nian Xi and his wife left Beijing. It is said that Nian Xiyao's wife was ill. Nian Xi and his wife went to serve the disease. The couple left in a hurry, and even the Cao family only received the news two days before they left Beijing.

Cao Yong was surprised. If Nian Xiyao was "seriously ill" and had no children, Nian Xi's nephew, who had been in charge of illness, would have been the case. However, Nian Xiyao's wife was "unwell", so she sent Nian Xi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, to go with her wife, which was a bit of a big deal.

Even though he was surprised, according to etiquette, Cao Yong still went to Nian's house and brought the prepared medicinal supplements, which was considered to be practiced by Nian Xi.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Nian Xi's gloomy aura faded away much, but his expression was neither sad nor happy nor worried.

Seeing this, Cao Yong knew that Mrs. Xiyao's "serious illness" was just a guise, otherwise Nian Xi would not have been so relaxed.

Not only Nian Xi, but the old man's expression was also gentle and peaceful, without anxiety.

The old man heard his grandson mention that Cao Yong once suggested that Nian Xi let him go, but when he saw him come here to practice, he was very grateful.

As for the young head of the Cao family, he started by getting close to him with a strong old face to save trouble for his descendants. However, Cao Yong has always been gentle and polite to the elders, and does not make people shameless because of his identity and personal grievances. After a while, the two of them have a little "forget-forget-for-year-old friendship".

Then Nian Xi married the big princess and the two families became in-laws. The old man was very happy for the eldest grandson and always felt that Cao Yong was introverted and transparent, and getting married was beneficial or harmless.

Unexpectedly, it took less than a year to bear Cao Yong's "life-saving grace".

"Furuo can come and see him off, he is really interested. Speaking of which, this is a family matter in Nian, so you should not gossip about Furuo. But you are not an outsider, and the old man has nothing to hide from. The eldest son has no heirs, so the old man makes the decision and adopts my grandson to the eldest son." The old man said to Cao Yong with a smile.

The old man used to call Cao Yong a "virtuous nephew", but after Cao Yong and Nian Xi became brother-in-law, he changed his name.

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this.

It is not a strange thing to adopt a nephew as an heir, but it is a bit unreasonable to adopt the eldest son. He was even more suspicious, but he didn't ask much.

No wonder Nian Xi and his wife went south. It was a bit inappropriate for their nephews and niece-in-law to serve their aunts, but the descendants should be leaving.

Nian Xiyao was the governor of Guangdong, and was the governor of Guangdong. He was a parent of a province in Guangdong. When Nian Xi went there, Cao Yong had nothing to help. However, Cao Yong still told Nian Xi about Cao Fang's address in Guangdong, nominally asking Nian Xi to take care of him in his spare time. In fact, he was afraid that Nian Xi would have any bad things when he first arrived in Guangdong and would not bother his elders. There was a place where he could ask, so that the couple would not be blinded.

It was only after a few days after Nian Xi and his wife left Beijing that news of their adoption of their eldest son gradually spread in Beijing.

It was said that it was the old master of the Nian family who asked for the edict and the grace of the emperor and the imperial concubine that adopted Nian family's eldest son Nian Xi to the eldest son of the eldest son as his heir.

In other people's family, the second wife's son adopted the eldest son as the heir, and even if the legitimate son was adopted, his status was improved. However, in the Nian family, the second wife's title and official position were far higher than that of the eldest son.

In this way, there will be a lot of gossip.

The center of gossip was not Nian Xi who went south, but Nian Gengyao's step-wife, Jueluo, and Nian Gengyao's concubine son Nian Fu.

Nianfu has been very active in Beijing in the past two months. He is the young master of Nian Gong Mansion and enters and goes out for social events.

Compared with Nian Xi, who was with her grandfather, Nian Fu, who was unable to recover from illness, was too strong as her younger brother.

Many people sympathize with the "weak", Nian Xi's legitimate successor was born, and in the gossip of the people in the capital after dinner, they became "forced" by their stepmother and brother, which made them feel a little more sad.

Even Li and Chu Yu heard about these words.

Li sighed, "Human hearts are not as good as ever", and he was afraid that his wife would worry about his sister and husband, so he comforted her.

In addition to worrying, Chu Yu was a little angry and discussed with her husband: "If it is true as the rumor says, the Nian family is really too bullying. The Qixie Prince is not only the eldest son of the second family of the Nian family, but also the Heshuo Prince, how can they be bullied for nothing? Should they discuss with Ama and ask the clan's house to make the decision?"

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sixteenth prince replaced Yaerjiang A as Zong Ling and took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition, Chu Yu, the niece, had more confidence.

Cao Yong said: "It's mostly spreading rumors, how can I believe it? Don't worry, Nian Xi's adoption was arranged by the old master of the Nian family. Can he still make his eldest grandson suffer a loss?"

Chu Yu felt relieved after hearing what her husband said.

Cao Yong remembered Nianfu in the capital under the guise of Nian Gengyao and made friends with powerful children, saying, "Hongshu and the others are not related to Nianfu, are they?"

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "No, everyone knows that Nianfu and the Qixiongzi brothers have a bad relationship. How could Hongshu and the others interact with him?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "It's good if there isn't."

Yongzheng was still afraid of his brothers and nephews in the royal family. In the past two years, he did not openly attack Prince Cheng, who had fought for the throne with him, but he also held him high and no longer contacted the six ministries' practices.

Prince Cheng may have accepted his fate. He has been low-key in the past two years and has left all the communication between the prince Hongsheng to the prince.

However, the emperor's disgust for his brother did not decrease with his avoidance. Hongsheng had been scolded several times, and there were rumors of the deposed prince.

Cao Yong asked this question because he was afraid of involving several brother-in-laws.

In addition to Nian Xi's journey south and the sixteenth prince was promoted to Zongling, the third thing that happened after the Mid-Autumn Festival was that the queen issued an imperial edict to refer Tong Jia Yumin, the eldest girl from the uncle's mansion, to the second prince of the Zhuang Prince's Mansion, Hongpu, as his legitimate wife.

The capital was in an uproar.

Although everyone knows that Mrs. Li of the Guoji Mansion jumps up and down to find her daughter’s in-laws’ house, no one expected that she would find Prince Zhuang’s house.

At present, Prince Yi's Mansion is very popular in the residence of Prince Zhuang, but it is still not as good as Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

As the prince's mansion that was hereditary, Prince Zhuang ranked third in the prince's ranks, second only to Prince Kang and Prince Jian. At present, the emperor's brothers inherited the throne, and the prince's mansion has a little more weight.

Although the second prince Hongpu was born in a illegitimate family, he was the actual eldest son of the royal family and had always been favored by the sixteenth prince. The royal family had no legitimate son, and the future crown prince was mostly on Hongpu.

Wouldn't Li Sier's daughter become the future prince and concubine?

Everyone was jealous of the great affection of the Guojiu Mansion and was able to ask the Empress to marry him; and when they whispered that the eldest daughter of the Guojiu Mansion was not worthy of being the concubine of the prince, they envied the emperor's different treatment of Prince Zhuang's mansion.

It was not until this time that the marriage of the eldest girl from the Guojiu Mansion was settled, and those who once looked down on Li Sier and his daughter with their eyes remembered the jealous dowry of the Guojiu Mansion.

If you marry a girl from the uncle's family, then the dowry will be enough to support generations.

How many people paused to the feet and envy the good luck of Prince Zhuang’s Mansion; how many people were gloating and waiting to see the jokes of Prince Zhuang’s Mansion.

After getting such a marriage, I don’t know how much fun I have to have with my mother-in-law like Li Sier.

"The Sixteenth Master's delaying strategy?" Cao Yong felt incredible when he heard this. When he saw the Sixteenth Prince, he said rudely: "Is this strategy too useless? Marrying a wife and marrying a daughter is half a pound, and they are both married to the uncle's mansion. What's the difference?"

The Sixteenth Prince seemed to be dissatisfied with the result and smiled bitterly: "How could I make the decision? If I don't pinch my nose and accept it, can I resist the order?"

"Huh?" Cao Yong was really surprised when he heard this. He lowered his voice and said, "Is it possible that the emperor is reluctant to give up the dowry of the uncle's mansion and wants to take advantage of the Sixteenth Master?"

The sixteenth prince was eating tea. After hearing Cao Yong's words, he couldn't breathe and almost choked.

He coughed several times, his face flushed with his face. He pointed at Cao Yong and said, "Okay, I haven't seen each other for a few days. Furuo is so brave that he dares to say anything!"

After Cao Yong finished speaking, he also realized that he had made a mistake.

Yongzheng was not so stingy. Even if he didn't like his uncle's mansion, he wouldn't even care about his cousin's dowry of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

I am a little unrestrained and suspected of slandering the king.

Seeing Cao Yong being embarrassed and silent, the Sixteenth Prince stopped joking him and said to the truth: "If Fu thought too much, I see that, the emperor really loves the eldest daughter of the uncle's mansion. She said that she was sensible and polite at a young age, and had taken the initiative to mourn her legitimate mother and was kind to her legitimate brother. She was only implicated by her biological mother, which made her a laughing stock in the capital's powerful people at a young age, and she was unbearable. Instead of letting her biological mother make random arrangements and promised her a messy family, it would be better to point to me."

There are several meanings behind this.

Even if the daughter of the dignified uncle's mansion is not as good as her biological mother, it is not the turn of others to pity her.

Cao Yong expressed his expression and whispered: "Is it going to start?"

He originally thought that Yongzheng had to cook Nian Gengyao first and then clean up Longkodo, but now it seems that they are going to take it down.

The sixteenth prince nodded slowly and said, "Look at that meaning, it will take less than a year or two. However, the Tong family is a nobleman. Even if Longkodo has something to do, it will not be a disaster for the Qing clan, and it will not affect the married daughter and the clan members."

If Li Sier marrys his daughter to someone else's family, even if the other party refuses to divorce his wife, Yumin will not live a good life if he loses the help of his father and brother.

Yongzheng's arrangements made this more humane.

"When is the wedding date?" Cao Yong asked.

"Even next year, even so, Hongpu is only thirteen. Thirteen will marry his wife, several years earlier than me, who is my brother." The Sixteenth Prince was helpless and said, "What else can I do? I can raise it as a daughter. If I really am a good child, it is also a blessing for Hongpu."

Such a marriage is indeed like a farce.

At this point, Cao Yong could only comfort him: "We old lady have seen her, and she also praised her and praised her. I think it's really good."

The sixteenth prince sighed and said, "I finally didn't suffer any loss. Even if Hongpu does not inherit the royal palace, he can make the couple rich for the rest of their lives..."

This is a strange saying. He could have regarded Hongpu as his heir before.

Cao Yong's heart moved and said, "Sixteenth Master, are you three happy people coming?"
