Chapter 319: Gradually Appeared

This was the second time Cao Yong took over to Rehe, but his feelings were different from the last time.

Looking up, looking at the plaque with gold characters on the blue background, and writing the four traditional characters "Summer Villa" from right to left, Cao Yong couldn't help but have an illusion, as if he had returned to hundreds of years later.

I heard the sixteenth prince beside me say, "This was written by Emperor Ama in the summer of the past year. I also signed the thirty-six scenes at the beginning. It seems that they have been built this year. Let's go and have a walk!"

The Holy Lord left Beijing on the tenth day of the fifth month and arrived in Rehe today. The princes in the escort include the third prince, the eighth prince, the ninth prince, the fifteenth prince, the sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince.

As the Minister of the Taipu Temple, Cao Yong was in charge of miscellaneous matters such as changing sedan chairs and orders in Kangxi.

After entering the garden, Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince walked around and stayed for a while when they saw the beautiful scenery. Although the sign and the name of the 36th scenery were just drafted two years ago, some buildings were built one after another in the early years.

The two of them looked at a few places and then talked by the lake.

Seeing that there was no one around, the sixteenth prince said to Cao Yong: "Furuo, why did you offend the fourteenth brother? I looked at him and seemed to be very dissatisfied with you."

When Cao Yong heard this, he remembered the complicated expression on his face when he asked about Ning Chun at Yongqing's house that day. Fourteenth Prince, is it really you? He remembered the past three years ago and asked, "Sixteenth Master, do you still remember Prince Wuliji?"

"Crown Prince Wuliji?" The sixteenth prince thought for a while and nodded, "Well, I remembered it. It was the son of Zhu Muqin and Shuo Chechen Prince Sedendundobu. The other year before yesterday... the one who had his head cut off in the Kalaqin camp the year before! Why do you think of him..." When he said this, he couldn't help but open his eyes and asked, "Why do you think of him... Could it be... the fourteenth brother..."

Cao Yong shook his head and replied, "There is no evidence, I just suddenly remembered that the 14th Prince came. Perhaps his power is greater than we imagined, and there are more than those two princes who are willing to seek a throne."

"They are all the sons of Emperor Ama, even if they have that intention, it's normal. But looking at him following his beloved brother, he is not as good as he is," replied the Sixteenth Prince: "The Thirteenth Prince has been silent in recent years, which has made him get a bargain. Empress Defei can speak again in the palace, and she has really flattered him outside.

"The second and eighth princess were killed that time. If the third prince had such a talent, he would not have been..." Cao Yong stopped talking about this. He remembered that he was the fifteenth prince who was the least visible among the princes. According to the information he found here, the fifteenth prince was a little close to the third prince and had a good relationship with the fourteenth prince.

The sixteenth prince smiled and said, "I think it's not him. Don't look at his older age, look at what he does. The fourth brother was raised in the palace of Tong Empress Tong since childhood. He was influenced by the empress and believed in Buddhism. This is what everyone is familiar with. The third brother jumped up and down a few years ago, and no one knew why his ambitions were. Now he is showing off his love for mountains and rivers, just deceiving himself." Speaking of this, he touched his chin: "Fourth brother... has always been in the army, but he is really him..." Speaking of this, he frowned and said, "If this is the case, then everyone will really underestimate him!"

Cao Yong vaguely remembered that the Eighth Prince later lost Kangxi's favor and was completely depressed. The Fourteenth Prince took over the "Eighth Prince Party". It seemed to be a "killing an eagle" or some eagle incident. The Eighth Prince tributed Kangxi's Haidongqing, but he didn't know whether he was dead or dying, but he violated Kangxi's taboo and scolded the Eighth Prince more.

The 14th Prince disliked him, but because he helped Yongqing hurt his face because he entrusted his connections, or because he was the person behind the "Prince Prince was killed" and the "Qianmen Explosion Case", so he was dissatisfied with Cao Yong?

Although the escorts have only been forty miles a day for the past few days, because they are always on the horse, the sixteenth prince is also exhausted. He rubbed his neck and said, "I have been running for the horse for the past few days, and my body is stiff. I will go back and ask Yuehua to rub it later!"

Yuehua is the palace maid Cao Yong saw in Changchun Garden two months ago. It looks a bit similar to the sixteenth prince's concubine Li. He has been taken over by the sixteenth prince and has become the concubine of the sixteenth prince. This time, the sixteenth prince is in charge of the escort. Li is pregnant and is waiting for childbirth in the capital. The female relatives who come with the 16th prince Guo Luoluo and the newly acquired Liao Yuehua.

Cao Yong stood by the lake and felt that the heat was gone. After hearing the words of the Sixteenth Prince, he couldn't help but feel envious. He was a minister and a entourage on duty. Not to mention a wife, he could not even take care of the maids with his hair. He could only take a few servants with him.

However, even if he was allowed to take his family, Chu Yu could not get rid of himself for the time being. In early May, Cao Yong received a letter from Cao Yin and his wife, knowing that Zhao Jia and Cao Song and others set off to Jiangning on April 25 and had already headed north. At the same time, Mr. Zhuang's reply also arrived, saying that they would clean up and set off for Beijing soon.

The second house aunt, several cousins, and Mr. Zhuang's mother and son, must be settled in the mansion. These matters must be discussed by Chu Yu and Amethyst.

Zhao Jia is an elder, but because the main courtyard Lanyuan was Li's residence, he had to clean up another courtyard. Then, compared with the furniture and supplies of Lanyuan, he cleaned up the house.

Not to mention Cao Song, even Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang are both half-sized. How many brothers have to be resettled, the yard and house must be repainted and cleaned up.

Tian's status is a special person and is a widow. The house is not well arranged, and it is not too fancy, and it is not too deserted. This needs to be properly handled.

There are also servants and servants who came with the second house. Those who came back from Shandong carefully calculated the population and the mansion was a little not spacious. Now they live in the house left by their great-grandfather and grandfather. Even Cao Yong couldn't say that they would change the house.

The neighbors of the side have not yet sold their houses, and they have no place to expand them. In the end, Amethyst suggested that they build a back-mounted house in the back garden. If they are served by the mansion, it would be appropriate to live there.

After the sixteenth prince finished speaking Yuehua, he remembered Cao Yong's coming, squeezed his eyes and smiled trepidly, "You are no better than you were when you were a wife. It will take several months outside the border, what should you do?"

"What to do, cold salmon!" Cao Yong felt that he was full of righteousness, and he couldn't help but look at the Sixteenth Prince with contempt and said, "Some people can't straighten their waists. It seems that the 'hot salmon' is getting hot!"

"Okay, you're hurting me!" The Sixteenth Prince smiled and touched his chin, squinted his eyes and asked, "Everyone said that there are no concubines in your mansion, only one wife, who is a bad girl. Tell me honestly, are you afraid of losing your face to Brother Seven, or is that not okay?"

Cao Yong was furious and reached out to punch the Sixteenth Prince: "What's wrong with learning? I'm not good at learning, but I'm worried about this!"

The sixteenth prince laughed twice and said, "Since that's OK, let's compete. When we arrive at Nadamu, we will see who will 'chew' first. The one who loses will invite you to drink..."

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "Okay, my Sixteenth Master! You have all the wives and palace maids, why are you still thinking about outsiders? I will be a monk here for a few months! Don't mention these in front of me, isn't this causing people to get angry?"

The Sixteenth Prince was about to make fun of him again, and saw the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince coming not far away, as if they were also browsing the scenery. He stopped and whispered to Cao Yong: "Brother, the Ninth Brother is here. If the Ninth Brother picks you up and hurts you, you can bear it and let him enjoy his mouth, so that he can't hold on to you."

Cao Yong nodded and retreated behind the Sixteenth Prince.

The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince also saw the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong. They looked at each other and smiled and came here.

The sixteenth prince came forward. Although Cao Yong didn't like these two, he had to bite the bullet and follow.

"Brother Ninth Brother, you two are enjoying the scenery too?" The Sixteenth Prince asked with a smile.

The eighth prince smiled and nodded, "I have nothing to do after dinner, so I've come out for a walk. Now the garden has been completed." Speaking of this, he glanced at Cao Yong and said, "You haven't been here for several years, right? Although you have now dropped to the level, you have become a close minister and the saints are still there. You must not underestimate yourself, you must be careful to be a servant."

No wonder everyone praised it as "Brother Xian". Hearing this, Cao Yong hurriedly leaned over and replied: "Thank you for your teachings, I must keep it in mind, work hard and do my best, and I will never forget it for a moment!"

The Ninth Prince snorted coldly, curled his lips, and wanted to say something. However, he glanced at Cao Yong, turned his head and said to the Sixteenth Prince: "This time, brother is next to you and your residences. If you have nothing to do, you can play with your brother!"

Among the princes who came with him, the third prince and the eighth prince had their own garden outside the villa and did not live in the villa. The fifteenth prince, the sixteenth prince, and the seventeenth prince had not opened a house yet, let alone built a garden.

Although the Ninth Prince has opened a mansion, he loves business the most and does not like to build gardens like other princes. Therefore, he also lives in the villa.

The sixteenth prince smiled and said, "Brother Ninth, you are the God of Wealth. Why can't you bear to spend a few small amounts of money to build a garden or something?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head with a little smugness and said, "Brother, I only love real money and silver. I really don't care about those Xu Jing'er!" At this point, his eyes just happened to sweep at Cao Yong, and he immediately felt disgusted as if he had eaten a fly, and he no longer had the interest in showing off his 16th Prince.

If the Eighth Prince hadn't told him just now, don't talk to Cao Yong in person. Even if the seventh prince is nothing, the sixteenth prince is there, it would have hurt his face. The Ninth Prince endured it, but when he thought of the land in Cao Yong's Xiaotangshan, it was so painful that it hurt. The Cao family was the old man, even if he felt itchy, he wouldn't dare to stretch his claws.

The Eighth Prince saw that the Ninth Prince was wrong, and was afraid that he would not be able to resist talking to Cao Yong, so he smiled and said to the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong: "You go for a walk first, let's go ahead and then walk!" As he said that, he called the Ninth Prince to leave.

After the two men gradually got farther away, Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince were relieved. The Sixteenth Prince smiled and said, "Last year, I said that the land price of Xiaotangshan has increased several times. At that time, you didn't take it seriously. Now let's see how it is! As soon as the palace of the Interior Department is cultivated, who doesn't want to occupy a place? You are also in charge of the affairs of the company. The price is also released, so you can save too much from being stuck and offend people for nothing!"

Cao Yong nodded with a smile and replied, "I know that a lot of money has been released at the end of last month. Now that the money has been paid, I really made me give it a small amount. If Master Sixteenth is in use, don't be polite to me."

The sixteenth prince waved his hand: "I have no other intentions, I can only take filial piety in and don't throw money out, I am very rich. But you, didn't you say that your uncle's family is going to Beijing? I heard that there are many brothers there. Is your money in a kilometer or under your own name? Don't have silver, and you will hurt your relationship!"

Cao Yong replied: "Although it is in my name, I can't look at them tightly. My family originally had two farms and several properties in Beijing, but they were all dealt with because they were still in short supply a few years ago. The uncle passed away and the younger brothers were still young. I was thinking about buying a farm outside the Beijing to make my aunt have some potential."

The sixteenth prince nodded and said, "You are the elder brother, and this is impossible! It's just a matter of buying land. Why don't anyone come to buy you Xiaotangshan land? You can just change the farm. It's not impossible to re-built a small village or find tenants, which is trivial and troublesome."

Cao Yong wondered in his heart, how could the Sixteenth Prince, a prince in the deep palace, know these?

The sixteenth prince saw him and smiled and said, "I bought a house for Yuehua's family last month. Although her family is also a bannerman, she is very poor. There is an older brother who is not very promising. So I thought of buying a farm for them to live for her family, so as to save her family from having nothing to do. I always looked for someone to hand in the palace and ask for money for my daughter. I wanted to ask you, but I caught up with you. So I arranged it myself for two days, which was considered a great experience."

Beijing, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Chu Yu combed his head, wore a snow-green flag dress, stepped on the bottom of the flower pot, sat on the edge of the kang, and said to Wu'er: "Does Wuer remember what my sister-in-law taught Wuer these days?"

Wu'er was wearing an ivory white silk jacket and sat there obediently, and said angrily: "Wu'er remembers that she wants to call her mother and kowtow to her mother, and she also has her second brother, third brother, fourth brother...uh...and fourth sister..."

Chu Yu touched Wu'er's little face, took out a moon-white purse from her sleeve and tied it to her wrist. There were some candied fruits inside, and said with a smile: "This is Wu'er's favorite food. When my sister comes, don't forget to give it to her. Sister-in-law has a lot of it for you, so don't be reluctant to leave it."

This trick was taught by words. Chu Yu grew up next to his wife when he was a child. He listened to the wet nurse and used this trick to get along with his sister.

Wu'er's father and biological mother both passed away, and he would live with his legitimate mother in the future. Although Chu Yu is his sister-in-law, it is not easy to talk about Wu'er's affairs with Zhao Jia. Therefore, Chu Yu prepared these things and wanted to let Wu'er get along well with the fourth sister. In that case, Zhao Jia looked at the children and was not too lazy to neglect the concubine's daughter.

Thinking of his childhood, Chu Yu turned around and said to Madam Ye who was sitting on the chair: "At that time, I thought Madam nagging, but now I can save myself from being kind-hearted."

Madam Ye knew she was worried about Wu'er, sighed and said, "Who would have thought that such a little girl with a pink and jade-like porcelain doll would have such a miserable life. She is better now when she is young, but she will get married when she grows up. Her identity and appearance are also uneasy."

"With my mate here, can you still watch her suffer?" Chu Yu said.

"A woman's fate is not good. Just say the third girl. My grandmother and Wang Fujin are also in love with each other like a girl. She specially found a family with a simple population. Her mother-in-law has a good temper, so she still has to suffer grievances!" Madam Ye shook her head and said.

"Madam!" Chu Yu whispered and said, "What are you doing in front of Wu'er? The child is unconscious and will learn it one day. There are not many people who know about the third girl, so why bother making trouble and making the third girl shameless?"

Madam Ye said embarrassedly: "Look at me, I am always confused, why do you think of me? In the future, there are so many people in the house, so it is not enough to make trouble. In the future, I will still lock the door and never dare to say anything."

As he was talking, he heard footsteps outside, and then Xiyun came in and replied: "Grandpa, I just wrote a letter from the front yard. The second wife's carriage has entered the city and is about to arrive in this mansion!"

Chu Yu hurriedly stood up, asked his breasts to carry Wuer, and left Wutongyuan together, and took Cao Fang's, Zhao'an's, and Qian's, to the Yimen to welcome him. Zijing and Cao Zhong's, went to the dock to pick up Zhaojia.

Cao Song took two brothers to ride a horse. Zhao Jia was wearing plain clothes, hugging her little daughter in a carriage, and the group came to Cao's mansion.

Cao Song was very happy to know that his brother was officially the Minister of Taipu Temple. He was originally worried that his brother would be a temporary agent and would return to Shandong later, and he was so nervous that he thought about it. He was just a little unbeautiful.
