Chapter 1101: A Benevolent Man

To Cao Yong's surprise, when Wenjie left Cao's mansion and his wife mentioned the marriage between Niu Niu, Chu Yu had changed his original intention. Not only was he not happy, but he became hesitant and said, "My master, Shuping has not yet reached the end of the palace. Why don't you wait and see?"

Cao Yong was stunned and said, "What's wrong with this? Didn't you praise Wenjie for being good?"

Chu Yu hesitated and said, "Behind Shuping, there is a title of Mr. Zhuang. Wen Jie can't speak Mandarin and cannot be promoted to the imperial examination, so he can't make up for the pen and post. Even if he fails to get a martial arts exam, he will be cheaper to take care of the army in the future."

"Is it because Wen Jie failed to get a chance to change his wife's heart?" Cao Yong felt a little unhappy when he heard this.

If so, it would be a bit snobbish.

Seeing her husband suspicious, Chu Yu waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's not for this... I asked Tianyou and Hang Seng and how brothers Wen Jie contacted... I also knew that in front of the elders, they were reserved and cautious. In front of the peers, they were much more honest and straightforward... Tianyou and Hang Seng both like Wen Zhi..."

Cao Yong was a little surprised when he heard this.

He knew that Hengsheng and Wen Zhi had a friendship, but he didn't know that Tianyou admired Wen Zhi. He thought that they were all the eldest sons and the young and mature temperament, Tianyou should be more in line with Wen Jie.

"Is there anything wrong with Wenjie that falls into their brothers' eyes?" Cao Yong asked.

Although Tianyou is only thirteen and Hang Seng is only twelve, he is born in a high-ranking family and is much more sensible than children of the same age.

After hearing that my grandmother and mother praised Wenjie twice, the two brothers also guessed something. Niu Niu grew up with them, named her aunt and nephew, but actually was a sister and brother.

Compared with the "Brother Shi" they had just met, of course they were looking for Niu Niu, so they looked for opportunities to contact Wen Jie, trying to find out what he lacked.

Unexpectedly, I found several places.

Wen Jie loved his brothers so much that he talked to others about Wen Zhi. He kept silent about himself. It was Hang Seng who asked Wen Zhi to find out more about him.

According to Wen Zhi, Wen Jie not only loves his brothers, but also treats his two sisters. In order not to make things difficult for the eldest sister, when his aunt regrets the marriage, he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.

He and his aunt's cousin are also childhood sweethearts and have deep feelings. But in order not to make things difficult for the grandmother and to make the eldest sister have lifelong dependence, he chose not to fight or make trouble, and chose to give up and endure.

He is also picky about diet, only picking light and sweet dishes, not sticking to pasta, and only eating rice. If the dishes are not up to the taste, he will choose the one that is closest and hold two chopsticks, not rude on the table.

Although the former has the style of an elder brother, he is kind to his opponent, which should be an advantage. However, if it is handled improperly, it is easy to aggrieved his future wife. After all, the age difference between their brothers and sisters is not very different, so he can love his brothers and sisters without reservation, but the bride he married is difficult to deal with. If there is anything wrong with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, she will be criticized by her husband and easily be wronged.

Although the latter is a trivial matter, it shows the difference in living habits between the north and the south.

Niu Niu grew up in the north as a child. Although the chefs in Cao's house cook southern and northern dishes, she, like Cao Yong and his wife, is used to eating northern dishes and has a strong taste.

The family can eat separately. If the couple can’t eat in the same stove, it will be even more difficult to integrate the living habits next to each other.

Wen Jie's forbearance and his unintentional paranoia made Tianyou and Hang Seng not optimistic about him.

After hearing the reason, Cao Yong was stunned and said for a while: "Does these two boys look too picky about people? As brothers, it is not wrong to be friendly to brothers and sisters. When you first arrive in the north, you can't change it."

Not to mention Tianyou, Hang Seng two were just in the living room of the front yard. When he thought about maybe telling Niu Niu to Wen Jie, he felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at Wen Jie and became picky.

I always feel that he is too scholarly, has a bit rigid behavior, and has a gloomy temperament, which is often deficient.

But when the sons completely denied Wenjie, Cao Yong couldn't help but say a few good things for Wenjie.

Chu Yu said: "That's why we need to look at it again. The little girl hasn't gotten married yet, so it's not too late to wait for a year or two before getting engaged."

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, Wenjie will go to Mancheng County for training next month, let's take a look and discuss this matter."

Although this change was caused to cut off Cao Yong's original intention, he was not annoyed, but was very happy.

Tianyou and Hang Seng were both taught by his words and deeds.

Now that they are young, they can understand people by learning from each other and learn from each other, which is very gratifying. After all, the two of them are the legitimate sons of the Bo Mansion, the other is the prince's companion, and the eldest son is the eldest son. When they grow up, they have more knowledge and more self-protection.

After dinner, the couple went to Lanyuan.

Li was leaning on the kang and listening to a maid wearing purple clothes talking.

Tianbao sat on the side, fiddling with a kaleidoscope. When he saw his parents coming, he stood up with his arms and called out happily.

Cao Yong took over his son and coaxed him a few words. The couple accompanied Li and said a few words before returning to Wutongyuan to settle down.

The next morning, Cao Yong finished his washing and thought of going to the western suburbs to pick up Nian Gengyao, so he asked Chu Yu to find a plate of bees and beards to put on.

After breakfast, he was not in a hurry to leave the city directly.

Nian Gengyao and his party stayed at Daxing Guanshi yesterday. Even if they set off at Chenzheng (8 am), they would have to arrive at the capital at noon.

The one who was ordered to lead the princes and ministers to the suburbs to welcome him was the Sixteenth Prince.

Cao Yong went directly to Prince Zhuang's mansion and went to the south city with the sixteenth prince.

The sixteenth prince had a gloomy face, with a pair of dark circles on his face, and his face was very bad.

Seeing Cao Yong coming on a horse, the sixteenth prince called Cao Yong to get on his carriage.

"The concubine has troubled Master Sixteen again?" Seeing that Prince Sixteen had a gloomy face, Cao Yong finally couldn't help it and asked.

The sixteenth prince's expression was even worse than crying, and he said, "The fourteenth sister-in-law is dead..."

Cao Yong was shocked when he heard this. Although the 14th Prince "was ordered to guard the tomb", he was granted the title of Prince. A prince's legitimate concubine died, but there was no movement in the capital.

"Is this an emergency?" Cao Yong asked.

After the 14th Prince "guarded the tomb", his family moved out of the palace and followed him.

Cao Yong once met the 14th concubine in Prince Ping's Mansion. He remembered that she was about the same age as her sister and had a good personal relationship with her sister in her early years, but later she gradually became distant.

"Who knew that the emperor also received a letter of destruction. He issued an order to reprimand the Fourteenth Brother, but he had no intention of causing a mourning." The Sixteenth Brother said sadly.

"The clan's house will not hold funerals, where is the Wanyan family?" Cao Yong asked.

The sixteenth prince sighed and said, "I'm afraid I haven't received any trust yet. The emperor's intention is to directly ask someone to choose a site to be buried in Huanghua Mountain."

Although the 14th Prince did not win the holy heart, the 14th Prince was the royal wife. How could the funeral be so hasty? After all, the 14th Prince still has the imperial edict and the court rituals are in place.

However, Yongzheng ordered a burial, and his disgust for the 14th Prince and his branch was unconcealed.

The 14th concubine married into the palace for twenty years. Even though her political views were different, the 16th prince was taken care of by her in her early years. Seeing that she ended up like this, she felt sad.

Cao Yong would not have the leisure to sympathize with the Fourteenth Concubine after his death. What made him worried was Wanyan Yongqing, who was about to come to the capital to meet with Nian Gengyao.

This is unlucky.

He was both the in-laws of the 14th Prince and made contributions under Nian Gengyao. If Yongzheng cleared the military and political affairs of the northwest, Yongqing would probably not be able to escape.

Neither of them was in the mood to gossip, so they sat out of the city, followed the official road, and walked ten miles southward, and fell down the suburbs of the Ministry of Rites to welcome him.

The officials who came to the suburbs to welcome them were eight or nine local officials from other places who came to Beijing, as well as six ministers and nine ministers and more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Rites. The remaining were dozens of officials from the Ministry of Rites.

In addition to the sixteenth prince, there are also seventeenth princes, Prince Jian Yaer, Prince Ping Nersu, Prince Chun’s prince’s mansion, Prince Chun’s prince Dezhao, Prince Xin’s prince, and Duke Dorobel Mandu. The twelfth prince Yun, Duke Zhenguo Puzhao, and Duke Fuguo Nuotu.

In addition to these princes, there were six or seven royal generals. Although the titles were not obvious, they were too bad in the Northwest Army, so they also received the order and came to welcome them.

Cao Yong got off the carriage with the sixteenth prince, greeted several princes he knew, and then walked to the side of the officials who were welcoming the carriage.

Yiduli and Li Wei were also picking up the driver. When Cao Yong came over, the two were talking.

"What's the matter when the prince kneels down to greet him? Could it be that the emperor really wants to sign him the King of Northwest?" Yiduli said angrily.

"I thought I could see such a big scene, but I didn't expect that, hum..." Li Wei didn't answer the words, but he just complained a little.

Cao Yong had arrived in front of him, and when he heard these two sentences, his heart was thrusting.

The "Northwest King" has come out, isn't Yiduli's mouth too unscrupulous? In the early years, he was a little bitchy, but he was a low official position and had little power. No one paid attention to it. Now he is already a Jingtang, which is easy to cause trouble.

Fortunately, Nian Gengyao was like a grasshopper after autumn and could not jump for two days, otherwise, with Yiduli's words, he would have to make enemies.

At this moment, Yiduli and Li Wei had already seen Cao Yong, and both stopped the words and greeted him.

After the greetings, Cao Yong realized that a quarter of an hour ago, officials from the Ministry of Rites came and the officials below the prince and the prince were going to kneel down to greet him. Yiduli and Li Wei were very angry.

The incident in Baoding Prefecture has not yet been spread to the capital. After hearing this "kneeling" order, Cao Yong felt thunder in the sky.

Iduli couldn't blame him for saying "King of the Northwest". This kind of decency is not something that a minister can enjoy, but it is already the treatment of a prince and a prince.

It’s just that Yongzheng was willing to be kind to Nian Gengyao, but Cao Yong didn’t want to be a kowtow worm.

He didn't say anything, but just reached out, touched his stomach, frowned and sued the two of them, wanting to find a secluded place to "convenience".

"If you are uncomfortable, if Fu asks for leave, go back and rest first?" Yidu immediately saw that he was like this and was a little concerned.

Cao Yong shook his head and said, "It's not that, it's just that I caught a cold at night and my stomach is a little uncomfortable..."

Before Yiduli could speak again, he heard Li Wei say, "It just so happens that I want to get rid of my hands, so I go with the lord..."
