Chapter 1105 Recommended

Under the guidance of his father's hidden teaching, Tianyou finally realized that the idea he had given his younger brother before was really a little immature.

The two brothers left Wutong Garden with admiration for their father. At the same time, Hengsheng also stopped his thoughts of celebrating and accompanying his father.

As for Tianyou, he knew from the beginning that he would not have his share in Baoding Mansion.

If my grandmother was at home, I still had some hope to be with my father. Since my father wanted to go out of the capital, the only one who was guarding the house was him, the eldest son.

However, he did not complain at all. Instead, he thought that it would be a good thing to share his parents' worries, and he was very conscious of his eldest son.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yong did not mention keeping him in the family care, but said to Hang Seng: "I left my elders at the age of sixteen and went to Beijing to work as a job. Now you are younger than me at that time. I want to give you all these housework. Isn't it too much to do? If you feel it's hard, I'll ask your fifth uncle to take care of you."

When Hengsheng heard this, he immediately plucked up the courage, patted his chest and said, "My father went to Beijing alone, and there was no elders around him to take care of him, and he also supported a mansion. Now, he lives in a separate house from his uncles, and his son is just a father to guard the house. What's the difficulty?"

Seeing that he was responsible, Cao Yong praised him with satisfaction.

Tianyou was beside him, but he was stunned. After a while, Fang murmured: "Father left my second brother to guard the house, and there son..."

Cao Yong said: "Although I don't need anyone to serve, since both the old lady and the wife have to follow me, there must be someone to take care of me. Your second brother can't get rid of his body and just needs you, the eldest son, to be more filial. Wouldn't you?"

It’s not that he is biased, but that he feels that his eldest son is still not well-informed in his work. He wants to take him around to teach more, but he is afraid that he will be left alone in Beijing and will be tempted to learn bad things. Hang Seng is in the palace every day and has limited contact with people, which makes people feel more at ease.

Tianyou was overjoyed, and there was no one he didn't want to do. His little brain was like a rattle and said, "No, no, my son is willing..."

People in the world say that a strict father and a kind mother are, but Cao Yong is unwilling to learn from the Zheng Lao in "Dream of Red Mansions". When he sees his son, he will blow his nose and stare, and then he will feel comfortable after he scolds him. When he should praise him, he will praise him a few more words.

He teaches his children, Chu Yu is watching and it is difficult to interrupt.

When the sons went out, Chu Yu was still worried and said, "Master, Hang Seng is only twelve..."

"Isn't it the next year that it will be thirteen?" Cao Yong said: "It's not that you will hand over this family to him immediately, so don't worry."

After releasing the skills of his sons, Cao Yong's originally impulsive heart gradually calmed down.

He took office early next month, which was the middle of winter. Even if the distance of 300 miles is not far, it would be hard for the elderly, weak, women and children. In addition, when he took office, it was definitely the busiest time and he might not have time to take care of his family.

Even if you want to leave the capital for a relaxing time, you have to wait until February next year, when spring is warm and flowers bloom...

At the gate of Kwai Inn, Hang Seng stopped, felt a little annoyed, and said, "Brother, if I just said it was difficult, would my father allow me to go with me?"

Tianyou still couldn't stop smiling and said, "Second brother will take care of himself more so that his father will not have to worry about his family when he is working in official business. Although the second and fifth uncle live close to each other, they will be divided into the mansion. It's okay to take care of it for a few days, but it's not easy to interfere in the affairs of the mansion for a long time."

It is common for other families to release the heads of the family and entrust the remaining family houses to their brothers; but the Cao Mansion is different. The Cao Mansion has too many relatives and old friends, including the old lady Gao, Lianqiu sisters and Niu Niu, Tian and Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng and his son, and Eunuch Tian and two young masters who came out to support their elderly care in the palace.

Although these people are not the serious masters of the Cao family, they are just like their own family.

If there is any improper handling of the housework here, it may hurt your relationship.

When Hengsheng heard this, he thought of this and said dejectedly: "Yes, it seems that I am not lucky to go out with my father..." Speaking of this, he glanced at Tianyou with some resentment and said: "This is my elder brother's job, why did it fall on me? The elder brother is my father's eldest son, so he should stay in Beijing to take care of his father's house."

Seeing him frustrated, Tianyou smiled and coaxed, "Baoding Mansion is not far from the capital. I will be free in the future. The second brother goes to visit the master. You don't have to worry about housework. You have to study in the study every day. Who can really be a housekeeper? The inner courtyard can be entrusted to Aunt Tian or Eunuch Tian. If you have a housekeeper outside, it will not make the second brother worry too much."

Having come to this point, Hang Seng could only admit it: "Okay, it's better to keep me alone than to keep my elder brother."

When Tianyou saw his younger brother Tongda, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "When my father is released next time, I will stay to guard the house..."

Not to mention this family, I am excited about the life that is about to change. From the next day, the Cao Mansion will become one of the most lively official residences in the capital.

As Cao Yong expected, he didn't have to worry about insufficient staff when he took office, because there were too many people recommending people.

Although the clerk of the Governor's Office is not a formal official of the court, according to the world, he still has to receive a high salary. However, the person who paid the salary is not the court, but the Governor's Office.

The way this money comes from is the local fire and waste money.

In addition to having a high salary, being able to join the Governor's Office as the team and taking advantage of the Cao Yong line will make great progress in the future if you want to seek a career.

In the officialdom, there are many people who have entered the officialdom.

Cao Yong was a staff member who was a Taoist in his early years and did not follow him to Beijing. Not much is known to everyone, but there was a deceased village seat and a living Jiang Jian.

Cao Yong regarded Zhuang Xi as his teacher and treated Zhuang Xi's daughter as his flesh and blood. This kind of friendship is extremely rare in the family of officials.

Jiang Jian was known for his reputation as punishment. He was already a famous post in front of Cao's mansion, but he was willing to surrender his position as a clerk and stayed in the Cao family for many years without asking for it. If Cao Yong had not been able to be polite and respect the wise and the inferior, how could the host and the host be so in harmony?

At the beginning, Cao Yong didn't take it seriously, just thinking that no matter who recommended it, he would always choose people. With his current status, there are many people who can point fingers in front of him.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, Cao Yong felt something was wrong.

The old friends in the officialdom came to the door to congratulate the children, nephews and disciples, and even the several royal palaces were in trouble. Prince Nersu Tongchun had to speak to him, and even the sixteenth prince came to recommend the people.

Cao Yong felt his scalp numb, so he invited the Sixteenth Prince to the study room, knocked on his forehead and said, "My Sixteenth Master, I think I'm not messy enough, why are you joining in the fun?"

Seeing that Cao Yong was in a state of anxiety, the sixteenth prince smiled unkindly and said, "I can't get rid of it now? When you take office, I'm afraid you will encounter more fun."

Before Cao Yong could understand the glory of the ranks of the chief officials, he could foresee the troubles he would encounter. He rolled his eyes and said, "I am such a good guy. How could he think this is a good job?"

The Sixteenth Prince snorted and said, "Don't be good at getting cheaper and behave well. If you walk around in this position, you can't escape the chancellor of returning to Beijing. With your age, it's not uncommon to be a minister. Even if you worry a little, you will be better than if you were in the Six Divisions."

Cao Yong knew that he was telling the truth, so he no longer had luck. He walked to the desk, pointed to the famous post more than one foot high, and said, "It has been less than ten days since the order was issued, and these are the ones who have recommended me to me. In the past few days, Prince Ping's Mansion and Prince Chun's Mansion were added." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "Master Sixteen, I am not afraid of my troubles, but I am worried about you..."

Although the Zhili Governor's Office is outside the capital, Cao Yong believed that the emperor's control over there would not be weaker than that of the capital's yamen.

After hearing this, the sixteenth prince shook his head and said, "Furuo, you are wrong. It is true that the one who is guarding against the royal family, but if the one who is as cautious as you, the one who is not necessarily happy. If it is not spread out, it makes people think about it even more random. This official is out of place and relatives and friends recommending people. The more they cover their heads and tails, they will not appear to be more ghosts? Since others can recommend people openly, you can choose the right person openly. The left and right are just personal favors. If it is unstable, everyone will be embarrassed to recommend them to you. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, wouldn't we be shameless..."

He said the righteousness was so righteous, but Cao Yong didn't believe a single word.

"Master Sixteenth, let's take a break from fancy words. Just tell the truth. Why do you follow me to recommend someone? I wouldn't ask too much about my father-in-law and brother-in-law, otherwise they would think I would be frivolous." Seeing that Prince Sixteenth was talking nonstop, Cao Yong brought a cup of tea and put it to his hand.

Seeing Cao Yong's frowning face, the sixteenth prince was not good at teasing him anymore and stopped talking beautiful words. He picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, saying, "It's nothing, I'm so kind. Who doesn't have many poor relatives? Can you still refute it all when you ask for it?"

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this. After a while, Fang said, "Sixteenth Master, as a master, I want to help a few people, but I still have such a big circle? My errands have been paid for my salary, but I have no grade. I don't like to reach out, and there will be no good things to follow with people around me. How can I open my mouth for a few masters?"

The sixteenth prince glanced at him and said, "Do you recommend two people to come to you or use their power to seek personal gain in the Ministry of Personnel? These people have been with you for two years. If you really have the ability, you don't need to recommend it to me, and there will naturally be someone who appreciates me. If you are not capable, you can stop going to the official position as soon as possible, so as not to lose your share."

Cao Yong sighed and said, "Fellowship, my side has become a trial ground!"

The sixteenth prince touched his chin and said with a smile: "You don't have to be upset. For the first time, you are Ren Jiangchen. The territory under this jurisdiction is a little larger. It is a good thing to prepare more people and be prepared for any trouble. If you don't use it, you will leave. They are all close relatives, who can really make things difficult for an outsider?..."

Cao's Mansion, outside the gate.
